Oct 5, 2019 at 11:30pm JST
2017 AD. The last era in which Magecraft still existed. Society was created by human hands, but Mages grasped the truth of the world. Magecraft is comprised of techniques from past humans that cannot be explained by science, while science encompasses the techniques of future humans that Magecraft cannot achieve. Researchers and scholars of both Magecraft and science have been gathered to maintain human civilization under the Chaldea Security Organization. But calculations then proved the extinction of humanity in 2019.
The cause of this is "realms that cannot be observed" that suddenly appeared in various eras of history, called "Singularities." Ritsuka Fujimaru, the one Master remaining in Chaldea, has been intervening within these Singularites, alongside the Demi-Servant Mash Kyrielight. He has been attending to the forbidden rituals to resolve or destroy the Singularities: the "Grand Order."
A seventh Singularity has been discovered in ancient Mesopotamia in the year 2655 BC. The land of Uruk, governed by the wise King Gilgamesh after his return from a journey seeking immortality, was grand and prosperous until three goddesses and countless Demonic Beasts appeared. These enemies have brought Uruk to the brink of destruction. With a "Rayshift," a method of time travel to the past, Fujimaru and Mash arrive in the lands of Uruk to encounter the fortress city of Uruk and the Absolute Demonic Front, fighting back the fearsome attack of the Demonic Beasts. There, the people who live their lives to the fullest despite facing a major threat, continue to fight for their future. Deities and Demonic Beasts make their assault, and mankind stands up against it. It is the destined era where humans and gods part ways.
Fujimaru and Mash, the pair who have raced through six previous Singularities, embark on their final battle.

Hayate no Gotoku!
Apr 1, 2007 at 10:00am JST
The 16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast, tough and skilled at things boys are not normally skilled at, it has also left him in an awkward position, since his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a "bad guy" and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken for a confession of love by the girl he targets.
When he helps save the (as it turns out) very wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi's beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of the boy with such a poor look. And then there is Nagi's pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.

In the decade since the world became aware of the existence of magic, the world has undergone massive upheaval. However, a boy named Touta lives in seclusion in a rural town far removed from these changes. His ordinary life is highlighted by his magic-using female teacher and his supportive friends. When his tranquil daily life is disrupted, he embarks on a unique adventure.
The legendary swordsmith Shikizaki Kiki made 1000 swords in his career. The more of these swords a state had, the greater the success in battle. When the Shogun emerged victorious, he collected 988 of the swords... but those were only the swordsmith's inferior practice pieces. For the final twelve swords were the pinnacle of his career. Each of them has powers so extraordinary, that one man wielding one of them could defeat a small army.
Shogunate strategist Togame has been ordered to recover all of them. She first hired a ninja... but the worth of the swords is so great the entire ninja clan defected the moment they recovered one. Then she hired a swordsman... though bound by honour, he felt he should keep the sword for himself.
Her last hope is Shichika, the seventh and last practitioner of the Kyotoryuu — the No Sword School. He and his sister live on an island cut off from civilization — so they have no need or use for money. His sword school does not use swords either — so he would not want the swords for himself.
So why should he help Togame?

1 ep × 74 min
The year 2015 CE.
The last era in which magecraft still thrived.
The Chaldea Security Organization was founded to focus on preserving the continuation of human history. They observe a world which magecraft couldn't observe and science couldn't measure all to prevent the certain extinction of humanity.
But one day, the future that Chaldea continued to observe disappears and humanity's extinction in 2017 becomes clear. Rather, it had already happened.
The cause seems to be related to Fuyuki, a provincial town in Japan, in the year 2004 CE. There, an "unobservable region" that had not existed before appears.
Based on the assumption that Fuyuki is the reason for humanity's extinction, Chaldea issues an order to explore, investigate, and possibly destroy this singularity – a quest for the Holy Grail, the Grand Order.

LoL Esports Bet Predictions – NA LCS (Week 8)
Week 8 of the NA LCS Summer Split begins on August 11! There are many opportunities to place good LoL esports bets since the battle for the final playoffs spots is reaching its peak. Join us as we break down some of the most anticipated matches!

Our top bookmakers for betting on the NA LCS:
Echo Fox vs 100 Thieves
Week 8 kicks off with a clash between 100 Thieves and Echo Fox. Both of these teams are at the top of the NA LCS standings, but only one of them will emerge victorious. 100 Thieves exert tremendous amounts of top lane pressure thanks to the force of nature that is Ssumday. And while the same doesn’t apply to the bot lane, Cody Sun and Aphromoo know how to get through the laning phase and make their presence known in teamfights. Hell, even Ryu is doing well in the mid lane. The only problem is AnDa. The jungler lacks competitive experience, and it’s clear he can’t keep up with his veteran teammates.
Unfortunately for 100 Thieves, Echo Fox are in a perfect place to exploit this weakness. Not only is Dardoch one of the most aggressive players in the league, but he’s great at working with Huni and Damonte to shut down the enemy jungler. In the old days, 100 Thieves could wait out the onslaught and outmaneuver their opponents in the late game. But ever since Echo Fox acquired Lost and Smoothie, their macro became much sharper, and unless some wild changes happen, FOX will take over the early game and overwhelm their opponents.
BETTING ADVICE: You can place a LoL esports bet on Echo Fox winning the match for odds of 1.82 at ArcaneBet.
Team SoloMid vs Counter Logic Gaming
When it comes to LoL esports bet predictions, few matchups are as hype as TSM vs CLG. Granted, these organizations are currently down on their luck, but the long-standing rivalry still draws thousands of fans to their screens. On top of that, there’s no denying that TSM are getting better. Their week 7 was much more proactive than usual, and players like Bjergsen and Zven did everything in their power to dictate the pace of the game. And even though the results weren’t perfect—after all, they did lose to another base race—Team SoloMid look poised to make an NA LCS comeback.
Meanwhile, CLG are in their worst shape to date. They’re very aggressive for the first 15 minutes of the match, and Biofrost, in particular, breaks open games with his well-timed roams. But the entire team falls apart towards the later stages of the game as Counter Logic Gaming struggle to set up vision and navigate teamfights. Combine that with the fact that the org just parted ways with its head coach, and player morale isn’t exactly high either.
BETTING ADVICE: You can make a LoL esports bet on Team SoloMid’s victory for odds of 1.80 at Betspawn.
Team Liquid vs Cloud9
Finally, we round things out with a Team Liquid vs Cloud9 game. TL have been at the top of the NA LCS standings for a while now, but you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’d call their position stable. On the contrary, they had some of the messiest early games in the league, and it’s purely because of resilience from veterans like Xmithie and Impact that they managed to orchestrate their comebacks. Moreover, the raw firepower of Doublelift makes this squad dominant in teamfights to the point where TL seamlessly win most 5v5s.
That being said, Cloud9 might be the first team to challenge them. They have the perfect mixture of talent and game sense, and players like Licorice, Blaber, and Jensen can easily give TL a run for their money. Moreover, C9 are renowned for their explosive early games. And even though their teamfighting synergy isn’t on Team Liquid’s level, they make up for it with raw mechanical prowess.
BETTING ADVICE: Cloud9 have all the necessary tools to end Team Liquid’s winning streak, so our LoL esports bet predictions are leaning towards an upset. You can place a wager on C9 scoring a win for odds of 2.10 at EsportsBetting.

Las Vegas Work Zone Traffic Tickets: Safety in Construction Zones
by Mark Coburn | May 25, 2014 | Las Vegas Traffic News
Las Vegas Work Zone Traffic Tickets Means Double The Penalty The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that work zone fatalities claim three lives daily in the United States. It may surprise that, more than 80% of these fatalities are not the workers, but are the drivers and passengers of the motor vehicles. Fast fact: a car driving at 60 miles per hour travels 88 feet per second, so, if you are driving 60 miles per hour past a sign that reads: “Road Work Ahead”, you will reach that work zone is just 17 seconds. It is understandable that drivers become frustrated when they must unexpectedly slow down due to Las Vegas construction delays, Las Vegas construction zone work, and other unforeseen holdups, but it’s important to remember that these instances are not there to inconvenience you; they are a necessary part of improving the Las Vegas roadways for future easy and flow of traffic. So, give yourself extra time during your commute so that you do not feel rushed when you are attempting to reach your final destination. Remember: Nevada law DOUBLES the penalty for speeding in a construction zone or speeding in a work zone, so you may end up paying up to $1,000 for a traffic ticket in Las Vegas. If you have already recently received such a ticket, and you would like the opportunity to discuss your options with an experienced attorney, call our Ticket Office today at (702) 382-2000....
Undocumented Youths May Soon Be Able To Get Nevada Licenses
by Mark Coburn | May 31, 2013 | Las Vegas Traffic News, Uncategorized
Children and teens who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents may no longer have to suffer the consequences of their parents’ choices. Up until recently, Latino youths were not allowed to apply for Nevada Driver’s Licenses due to the fact that they were ‘undocumented aliens.’ However, a new order is being set in place that will make it easier for these youths to find work, get into schools, and, of course, drive. President Obama has set into motion new federal guidelines that halts the deportation of these youths and allows them to apply for work permits. As of now, California, Georgia, and Oregon are the only states that allow these youths to apply for licenses. Mississippi and Arizona, on the other hand, have passed strict laws that prevent these individuals from becoming licensed by the state. In Nevada, those who qualify by the new federal guidelines, will not be able to become permanent legal residents, however, they will be able to lead more ‘livable’ lives here in the states. To be eligible, individuals must be under 31 years old, have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday, have graduated or are attending school, and have been in the U.S. for five years. More drivers on the street will inevitable result in more tickets, so, if you or someone you know has had the experience of being pulled over and give a Las Vegas Speeding Ticket or Las Vegas traffic ticket call the office of Attorney Mark Coburn today for a free quote and information on how to keep your record clean.

Pedestrian Hit and Killed
by Mark Coburn | Apr 18, 2013 | Las Vegas Traffic News, Uncategorized
A 50-year-old pedestrian died after being struck by a driver facing DUI charges. Las Vegas police arrested 41-year-old Roland Biscailuz, being charged with the fatality. He was booked at the Clark County Detention Center Thursday on recommended charges of hit and run causing injury or death and a DUI for alcohol. The incident occurred about 8:20 p.m. near Flamingo Road and Jones Boulevard. Las Vegas police said Biscailuz was driving a 1997 Infiniti Q45 west on Flamingo when he hit the pedestrian, who was walking outside of a marked crosswalk. Police reported that the victim, Bergstraesser, struck the hood of the Infiniti, was thrown over the roof and landed on the road.He was pronounced dead at University Medical Center. Police said Biscailuz drove away from the scene, then later returned and was arrested. Wednesday’s death was the 89th traffic fatality under the jurisdiction of Las Vegas police this year.

Distracted Driving Not Just Limited to Texts
by Mark Coburn | Jan 2, 2013 | Las Vegas Traffic News, Uncategorized
Though the uprising of ‘texting-related’ Las Vegas Traffic Ticketscannot be denied, there are a multitude of other ticketable offenses that fall under the category of “Distracted Driver.” In short, anything that takes the driver’s attention off the road and onto something else is an offense worthy of a costly ticket and points on your Nevada driving record. These offenses include but are not limited to: eating while driving, self-grooming while driving, turning to the back seat to silence a noisy child, fumbling around with your radio or MP3 player, turning to talk to the passenger next to you, flipping through a magazine or book while driving, etc. Please keep your eyes on the road whenever you are behind the wheel. It doesn’t take much for an accident to occur—and during that half second you look down to check the weather, grab something from your purse, or wipe the crumbs off your slacks—an unexpected obstacle could have appeared in front of you on the road. It’s not just your own driving you must remain focused on; it’s the driving of all the other individuals on the road. Remain defensive, alert, and ready to respond at all times. This is the only way to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you. If you are facing charges for distracted driving, driving while texting, or any other Las Vegas Traffic Offense, contact the Las Vegas Ticket Attorney Law Office today for a free quote and related information.

Romantic Womens Western Wear

When you visit Marrika Nakk's studio in Hollywood Hills, CA, you know Miss Kitty(Gunsmoke) and Frida Kalho would have loved to just hang out ...... Music playing, candles burning, lots of gold mirrors and velvet couches. You feel welcome and inspired ,it reminds you of an old western saloon with a touch of Versailles.
Growing up in Sweden, Marrika was fascinated with 2 things since an early age, old western movies and Rock and Roll. She wanted to grow up "fast" so she could dress like a saloon girl, and she loved reading about Belle Starr, Calamaty Jane, Donna Tules, Poker Alice, Sally Skull and Rose of the Cimarron. At 18 she visited Santa Fe, NM, for the first time and knew she wanted to live there one day...her dream came true years later.

"My company has always been hands on... I know who I am and I feel I know who my customer is"

Her "signature look" are her romantic,sexy and flowing silhouettes with a universal almost "magical" fit. Marrika's creativity and talent have kept her in the forefront of womens western wear for the past 30 years.

Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary.
We all want to help. Over the past fifty years $1 trillion of development aid has flowed from Western governments to Africa, with rock stars and actors campaigning for more. But this has not helped Africa. It has ruined it.
Dead Aid shows us another way. Using hard evidence to illustrate her case, Moyo shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works - and make charity history.
'Articulate, self-confident and angry ... this book marks a turning point'
'A damning assessment of the failures of sixty years of western development'
'Kicks over the traditional piety that Western aid benefits the third world'
Sunday Herald Books of the Year
'Dambisa Moyo makes a compelling case for a new approach'
'This reader was left wanting a lot more Moyo, a lot less Bono'
Dambisa Moyo worked at Goldman Sachs for eight years, having previously worked for the World Bank as a consultant. Moyo completed a PhD in Economics at Oxford University, and holds a Masters from Harvard University Kennedy School of Government. Her other books include Winner Take All and How the West was Lost. She was born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia.

MONDAY, July 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Using a teaspoon or tablespoon to administer kids' medications can often lead to medication dosing errors, a new study reports.
Teaspoon- or tablespoon-based medicine instructions doubled a parent's chances of incorrectly measuring the intended dosage, and also doubled the risk they would not accurately follow the doctor's prescription, the study authors found.
"A move to a milliliter preference for dosing instructions for liquid medications could reduce parent confusion and decrease medication errors, especially for groups at risk for making errors, such as those with low health literacy and non-English speakers," said the study's lead author Dr. Shonna Yin, an assistant professor of pediatrics at NYU School of Medicine in New York City.
Findings from the study were published online July 14 and in the August print issue of Pediatrics.
More than 10,000 annual calls to poison centers occur because the wrong dose of oral liquid medications was given to a child, according to background information included in the study.
A number of groups have suggested that pediatricians and pharmacists switch to milliliter dosing for young patients, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices.
To test whether this would help, Yin and her colleagues observed 287 parents providing medicine to their children.
The investigators found that, overall, 39 percent of parents incorrectly measured the dose they intended and, ultimately, 41 percent made an error in measuring what their doctor had prescribed.
Parents using teaspoon or tablespoon measurements were 2.3 times more likely to pour the wrong dose and 1.9 times more likely to not accurately follow the prescription, the researchers said.
Nearly one-third of the parents given instructions with teaspoon or tablespoon doses reached for a kitchen spoon, which made them 2.5 times more likely to get the dose wrong, said co-author Dr. Ian Paul, associate vice chair for research at the Penn State College of Medicine department of pediatrics.
"When you look at a kitchen spoon, the amount that will actually sit in the spoon is less likely to be exactly what it's meant to be," Paul said. "You're less likely to get the right amount onto that spoon and then deliver it to a child's mouth."
The inaccuracy of kitchen spoons becomes even more worrisome given that drugs are prescribed to children based on their weight, to make sure they are receiving a precise dose, said Heather Free, a pharmacist in Washington, D.C., and spokeswoman for the American Pharmacists Association.
Kids are more sensitive than adults to many drugs, and getting the dose even slightly wrong can lead to problems.
"Just a tiny amount, a milliliter more, can increase toxicity levels or underdose the patient," Free said.
Some parents also have trouble distinguishing a teaspoon from a tablespoon, or the abbreviation tsp. from tbsp., Paul said.
"It's not readily apparent that abbreviation stands for teaspoon, not tablespoon, especially for those parents with low health literacy," Paul said.
To ward off dosing errors, some pharmacy chains now dole out pediatric prescriptions with milliliter dosing instructions and provide parents with oral syringes to accurately measure each dose, Free said.
Free herself uses milliliter dosing in filling prescriptions for children, and even marks the prescribed dose on the oral syringe so parents don't have to eyeball the right amount each time.
Parents should not be afraid to ask their doctor or pharmacist to make their child's prescription easier to administer, Yin said.
"Parents should ask their doctor or pharmacist to tell them the dose in milliliters instead of teaspoons and tablespoons," she said. "Parents should also make sure to use a dosing device, like an oral syringe, dropper or dosing spoon, rather than a kitchen spoon, to measure out the dose."
Pharmacies have accurate dosing devices on hand and should provide them if asked, Free said.
"If the pharmacist does not provide it, I encourage parents to ask your pharmacist for one of their disposable oral syringes, and make sure they are familiar for how to use it," she said.
For more information on giving medication to children, visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Review: Fort Street Galley's Isla is a winner
By Jane Slaughter
Tom Perkins
Pancit Palabok.
Fort Street Galley,
160 W. Fort, Detroit
fortstreetgalley.org
11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday
Small plates $6-$10, entrées $15-$18
It's a food hall, it's an incubator, it's a food court, it's an accelerator. Fort Street Galley, open since December, is a pretty cool way for chefs to start a new place and for ADD-infected diners to try out a bunch of new spots at once.
The Galley is an upscale food court in the Federal Reserve Building downtown, with four restaurants sharing the dining area, each with a full menu. The Galley owners supply the space, the utilities, the busers, and a bar — everything but the kitchen labor and the ingredients — in exchange for a 30 percent cut off the top. Chef-owners sign a lease for a year, during which time they work to develop a following — and after their year is up, the goal is to cut the apron strings and fly.
The Galley's Pittsburgh-based owners call it "the food revolution," which it is not, but it's still a good idea for those with great cooking chops but not enough connections to inspire investors.
Unlike the Detroit Shipping Co. food court in Midtown, which despite high-quality food uses plastic forks and where you can't even get a napkin — tear a rag off a restroom-quality roll of brown paper towel — the Galley offers metal silverware, real plates and napkins, bottles of water on the tables, and glass glasses. It's a spread-out, echo-y space that seats 200 both picnic-table style and at tables and chairs, with some areas partly enclosed.
My first foray there was to the only Filipino restaurant in Detroit: Isla (Spanish for island), owned by JP Garcia. Garcia grew up in California and the Philippines and moved here 14 years ago because of his wife's family ties. After classical French training in culinary school, till now he's worked mostly in Japanese kitchens. If the fates are just, with Isla he has a winner on his hands. The novel flavor combinations deserve to make their way into Detroiters' hearts, just as decades ago we embraced Thai and more recently Vietnamese.
Not that Filipino cuisine is so similar to those. For one thing, there's more sweetness than in other Asian cuisines. And it will come as a disappointment to some and a relief to others that no chopsticks are involved.
Thanks to over-the-top encyclopedic 168 Asian Mart in Madison Heights, Garcia is able to source pretty much whatever he needs. He also has someone growing a couple of Filipino trees for him, the calamansi citrus and the moringa, from which to extract herb oil for ceviche. I call that dedication.
My favorite dishes, from a menu that includes six small plates, six entrées, three rices, and a separate brunch menu for weekends 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., were the seafood offerings and anything involving pork belly.
In the latter category is lechon kawali, which is different from lechon as a whole roast pig. Here Garcia preboils pork belly and then air-dries it in the cooler. When he drops it in the deep fryer, it crisps beautifully. It's served with dinuguan, a pungent, vinegary pork blood stew. It includes sweet little bready pillows of puto, steamed fermented rice cakes.
Kinilaw is raw hamachi, sashimi style, "cured" with vinegar just at the last minute before plating and delectably light; it's served with a bit of coconut cream infused with dashi, Japanese fish stock. Milkfish is used to make three small, crunchy croquettes that melt in the mouth, atop a smear of sweet purple yam purée with a vanilla lilt.
In pancit palabok, a noodle dish, Garcia does a good job of mixing shrimp and crab with crisp chicharrones and slices of hard-boiled egg, though I always think rice noodles are too soft (Garcia's are as firm as rice noodles ever are).
On a meatier note, the traditional noodle soup batchoy uses thin slices of pork shoulder and beef shank rather than the usual pork offal and cracklings, which is not a complaint. A beef fermur is roasted and then boiled for 24 hours to make the stock. It's rich and a little sweet. Skinny beef lumpia (spring rolls) are crisp, succulent and appropriately greasy, with peppery sprouts on top. A vegetarian lumpia uses jicama with pistachio garlic sauce.
The national dish adobo is of course on hand, with chicken and pork belly, as well as seafood sinigang, a sour soup with salmon and tamarind broth.
Because it wasn't my money, I ordered a dish that sounded suspicious: pinoy baked spaghetti and wings ("pinoy" means Filipino). It was a cube of compressed chopped up noodles with a sweet tomato-meat sauce, not yummy at all, though the separate chicken wing was crisp and scrumptious. At least it was not topped with wiener slices, as I'm told can happen. This is Garcia's take on a favorite from the fast-food chain Jollibee and perhaps best left to ex-pats nostalgic for their youth.
To drink, we were offered samples of dalandan, a citrus drink from green mandarins native to the Philippines. I thought it started off refreshing but ended with a metallic taste. Desserts are elaborate: a vivid purple ube cake made with that same yam, and halo-halo, which is crushed ice, evaporated milk and almost anything else you can think of. I asked Garcia why it was so expensive ($15), and he replied authoritatively that young coconuts don't come cheap.
The Galley does happy hour 5-7 p.m. weekdays, the bar stays open late, and the bartender will validate two hours of parking at the Financial District Garage anytime.

This page outlines the progress of the Tui Mine remediation project, including details of the project’s funding and its two phases of completion. This page also provides links to resources about the Tui Mine project, including information brochures and Waikato District Council reports.
Project funding and details
Discharges from the Tui Mine workings and the associated tailings dam were significantly impacting on water quality in the Tunakohoia and Tui Streams. The tailings dam structure was geotechnically unstable and in a large seismic or storm event there was a risk it could have failed which would have resulted in a significant discharge of contaminants into the environment.
The Government provided $20.35 million (excluding GST) for the Tui Mine remediation project.
Waikato Regional Council and Matamata-Piako District Council also provided funding for the Tui Mine remediation project.
The Tui Mine remediation project has been successfully completed and its objective to reduce the risks to health and the environment has been met.
In May 2013, the Minister for the Environment Hon. Amy Adams visited the site and officially closed the works. The Minister congratulated and thanked the project partners and the site contractors for a job well done.
Project phases
The project was completed in two phases.
Phase one involved preparatory work (detailed design, site establishment, access road) and the treatment of the old underground mine workings.
The old mine workings discharge contaminated water into the Tunakohoia Stream.
During phase one, the lowest workings were plugged with engineered concrete bulkhead, and alkaline solution (lime) was injected into the ground and upper workings to counter the strongly acidic conditions.
Phase two involved remediating the tailings dam area that posed a risk of collapse and discharged contaminants to the Tui Stream. The tailings were amended with cement and lime and compacted until they were firm enough to form a secure mound on the site. The mound was capped with soil and grassed, and appropriate drainage installed to prevent erosion.
Although the project’s physical works have been successful completed, the project team shall, until 2016, continue to monitor the water quality in the Tunakohoia and Tui Streams. Monitoring to date has already shown improvements in water quality and in-stream ecology.

'Big Sur': On the road to nowhere (review)
John DeFore, special to The Washington Post
Published 9:41 am EDT, Thursday, October 31, 2013
American director Michael Polish usually writes his films ("Twin Falls Idaho," "Northfork") with twin brother Mark. He's paired with a more famous writer in "Big Sur": Jack Kerouac, who wrote the 1962 novel as a barely disguised memoir about difficulties finding peace after publishing "On the Road." The high-profile source material ensures more attention will be paid to this film, as does the fact that Polish just married one of the stars, Kate Bosworth. But its powerful literary voice also threatens to overwhelm the director, whose movie sometimes feels like a beautiful illustration, rather than an adaptation, of Kerouac's prose.
Jean-Marc Barr plays Kerouac, who has been holed up in his mother's Long Island home seeking refuge from unwanted media attention. (In the novel, the writer called himself Jack Duluoz; here, he and others like Neal Cassady go by their real names.) Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti has invited him to California, offering a rustic cabin he owns in the coastal Big Sur region as a place to shake off career worries and his growing addiction to booze.
The setting is shockingly beautiful, from the mighty surf crashing against cliffs to the fire crackling in the tiny, woods-hidden cabin. Kerouac finds heaven here - sometimes wearing a stupid, gaping smile that reminds us the label "Beat Generation" was intended to suggest not exhaustion but beatific bliss. But it takes all of three days for him to grow bored, and he's practically crazy within three weeks.
The writer hitches into San Francisco and returns to a world he knows: the crush of hipsters, freewheeling road trips, and drunken binges lasting for days. He reconnects with Cassady (Josh Lucas), now married and living in the suburbs with a mistress in town (Billie, played by Bosworth); in a strange, sad interaction, Jack takes the mistress as his own. He and an evolving coterie move back and forth from the city to the cabin, each transition further exposing Kerouac's inability to find present-tense contentment.
Confronted with Kerouac's signature, careening language, Polish chooses to use as much of it as possible in a movie-length voice-over track. Barr narrates practically every scene, monitoring the author's deteriorating emotional state and describing the action around him. It's an understandable impulse; with Kerouac so eloquent on the subject of Cassady's masculine appeal or the incomparable ache of awakening after four days of drinking, why try to match him? But the choice is an uncinematic one.
While Polish uses the camera to conjure some of the movie's effects, particularly in showing how nature can inspire awe one day and dread the next, he can't trust himself or his fine cast to do the book justice. So, in the end, they don't - offering a beautiful and sometimes affecting film that (appropriately, some would say) has as much difficulty connecting with the world before it as its protagonist does.
DeFore is a freelance writer.
Two and a half stars. R. Contains sexuality, nudity and language. 81 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars OK, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

A Fetish shop in Berlin
by Marco Hohl | Sep 12, 2019 | Inside Mister B, Issue 03 | 0 comments
Onno Tang (54) is addicted to leather. So it’s no big surprise that this bald headed stud works as the retail manager for Mister B in Amsterdam and in Berlin. Wings sat down with Onno to talk about his love for leather, his work in the fetish world and his thoughts on the European city of sin, Berlin.
So Onno, when did you take your first steps into the fetish scene?
“I’m afraid to tell you that at my age (laughs). It was way back in 1981 (laughs again, this time very loudly) when I used to live in Antwerp. I went to Amsterdam every weekend because it was the gay Mecca of Europe. There was adventure everywhere you went. I already owned a little bit of leather at the time and I had a friend who lent me an outfit. So I walked into the Argos bar, 18 or 19 years old, and completely dressed in leather. At the time I got reactions from people like: ‘Jesus, how many layers of leather can one person wear?’ And I thought to myself: ‘Even more if I could, but it’s just not humanly possible.’ I was really obsessed with it at the time.”
Let’s get back to the present. As retail manager you work closely with the store manager of the Mister B store in the famous Motzstrasse. What do you do exactly?
Together with the store manager we make sure the store looks great and keep in contact with the outside world, such as local organizations and pubs. We worked with BLF (Berlin Leather and Fetish) for example. They wanted to organize leather and rubber nights in a couple of pubs and we provided things like goody bags or paid for posters or flyers. Those are fun things to do and I think it’s important to support the community. They spend their money in our store and this is a way for us to give something back.”
What’s the difference between the scenes in your home city of Amsterdam and Berlin?
“Berlin today is what Amsterdam used to be in the eighties. You can go out every weekend and there will be guys dressed in rubber and leather. And when there are big parties, the weekend has already started by Wednesday or Thursday. You can go to different places and they’re all walking distance. Whether you go to Mutschmanns for a quickie or a rubber night at Laboratory, you’ll have a fantastic time. Berlin really is the fetish paradise at the moment and I’m really happy we have a store there.”
What kinks do Berliners have? Do they have different tastes to Parisians for example?
“Definitely. Every city has different kinks. Parisians are really into fisting. If it has a red colour, they’ll buy it. Berlin is more about hardcore fetishists, about BDSM. We’ve got a whole array of whips and torture materials, because they sell really well. A lot of people also have a personal playroom because the houses are much bigger than in other European capitals. You wouldn’t believe the playrooms I’ve seen (laughs). And Berliners are heavily into leather. We sell as much leather in Berlin as we do in all our other stores combined.”
You’ve been working for fetish stores since the mid-nineties. Do you think fetish has become more mainstream?
“When you look at harnesses for example, then yes. There are a lot of gay men who go to parties wearing them, even if it’s not necessarily a leather party. Four years ago, my husband and I moved to a neighbourhood with mostly straight people with gardens in front of their single-family homes. When we went to Wasteland (a famous Dutch fetish party) we discovered that a lot of our neighbours were also there. The grandparents took care of the kids and the parents went to the party and even bought outfits for it. And even though they didn’t have any affinity for BDSM, they did like the laidback atmosphere, the horniness and the excitement. Fifteen years ago that wouldn’t have been possible. So yes, fetish is a little bit more mainstream, but fortunately there’s still an underground. There are still a lot of pubs in places like Berlin these people would be afraid to enter (smiles a big smile).”
Last but not least. You’re surrounded by fetish gear all day. Does it still excite you in the same way it did when you were 18 and innocent(ish)?
“Yes, yes, yes. I still get excited when I wear a leather outfit. When I go out in Berlin I go out completely dressed in leather or rubber. You’ll never find me in a fetish bar dressed in jeans. So yes, the addiction is still there. Sometimes it even happens that when I go out in leather I get tired of the outfit after a few hours. Then I go back to the hotel, put on a new rubber outfit and head back to the party.”

Emery, Flyers top Red Wings
By The Sports Xchange
Oct 25, 2014 | 10:52 PM
Oct 25, 2014; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (53) skates with the [uck against the Detroit Red Wings during the first period at Wells Fargo Center. (Eric Hartline, USA Today Sports)
PHILADELPHIA -- Center Brayden Schenn scored a power-play goal with 8:55 left in the game to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.
Left winger Michael Raffl had two goals and defenseman Nicklas Grossmann also scored to help the Flyers (3-3-2) win their second straight game. Ray Emery had 35 saves in his second consecutive start over Steve Mason.
Center Riley Sheahan and right winger Pavel Datsyuk scored goals for the Red Wings (4-2-2). The Red Wings have lost nine straight games in Philadelphia, being outscored 37-15. Their last win here was in Game 2 of the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals and their last regular-season win was on Jan. 25, 1997.
Schenn redirected a pass from right winger Jakub Voracek past goaltender Jonas Gustavsson, who was screened by Flyers right winger Wayne Simmonds raising his leg to avoid the puck as it skidded through.
Raffl scored into an empty-net in the final minute for a two-goal cushion.

Making only his second start in eight games instead of Jimmy Howard, Gustavsson had 12 saves. Detroit hadn't lost in regulation since the second game of the season on Oct. 11, going 3-0-2 in the previous five games.
Sheahan gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead with 4:27 left in the first period. He fired in a wrist shot off a no-look pass by left winger Andrej Nestrasil. It was the first career point for Nestrasil.
The Flyers tied it at 1 on Grossmann's sixth career goal in 471 games. Grossmann scored with 1:39 left in the second off a perfect, crossing pass from center Chris VandeVelde. Grossmann cheated in from the blue line, skated down the left side and fired a shot into an open net as Gustavsson couldn't slide across the crease in time to stop the shot.
Raffl gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead 6:01 into the third period. Defenseman Michael Del Zotto started a rush with a pass to Voracek, who flipped a pass from along the boards to Raffl streaking down the center. Raffl beat Gustavsson with a snap shot between his left arm and up and under the crossbar.

But 42 seconds later, Datsyuk beat Emery with a nifty move all alone in front to tie it at 2-2. Flyers center Blair Jones failed on a clearing attempt and the puck went to center Darren Helm, who found Datsyuk behind the defense.
The Flyers went halfway through first period without a shot and finished with only five in the opening stanza. They didn't get their first shot in the second period until 6:44 remained in the period.
NOTES: Flyers D Shayne Gostisbehere made his NHL debut. He adds depth to a depleted blue line that's going to miss veterans Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald for four weeks because of lower-body injuries. … Red Wings Fs Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg were on different lines during the morning skate, with Zetterberg centering LW Justin Abdelkader and RW Gustav Nyquist, and Datsyuk at RW with C Darren Helm and LW Tomas Tatar. … Flyers D Michael Del Zotto was paired with Nick Schultz, a left-handed shooter playing the right side. … This was the first of three meetings between the two teams.

Services / Community Development / Planning / Historic Preservation
The City already owns one of Monterey’s largest collections of historic buildings, and we continue to look for new opportunities to be good stewards of our rich history. For example, Monterey was the Spanish and Mexican capital of California from 1774 to 1846 and was the (official) sole port for international trade for many years during that time. Our City was also the site of the California Constitutional Convention and on October 13, 1849 the delegates signed the Constitution in our very own Colton Hall.
Since the early part of the 20th century, Monterey citizens have strongly supported historic preservation, beginning with the preservation of the Custom House and Colton Hall. Monterey has preserved more original Mexican era adobes than any other city in California.
Our downtown is a National Historic Landmark District, the highest level of national recognition. In addition, there are two National Register Historic Districts on the Presidio of Monterey, 32 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and 46 Monterey historic buildings and the drawings are filed in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.
To help guide and encourage historic preservation efforts in Monterey, the City has completed a Historic Master Plan, and a Historic Ordinance. In addition, the City is surveying areas of the City for historic buildings that are potentially eligible for historic designation.

The "H" zone consisting of either H-1 or H-2 zoning is applied to the most important historic buildings in Monterey. The purpose of the "H" zone is to preserve the exterior of designated buildings and in some cases to preserve building interiors. Some examples of structures in the City with historic zoning include: Colton Hall, Custom House, The First Brick House, and the Cooper Molera Adobe.
Chapter 38 - Article 15- Historic Zoning Ordinance
"H-1" zoning is intended to identify and protect the most important historic resources in the City, generally including properties with statewide, national, or international historic significance where that significance would be recognized outside of the City. The City recognizes its responsibility for preserving these resources for a national and international public, and the H-1 zone may be established without owner consent in order to fulfill that responsibility. The H-1 zone includes a strong series of incentives to support and encourage preservation of the historic resources.
"H-2" zoning is intended to identify and protect historic resources in the City that would be recognized as resources with local historic importance and their historic importance would not generally be recognized outside the immediate area of the Monterey Peninsula. The City encourages the preservation of these resources with a strong set of incentives; however, the ultimate decision to rezone and ultimately to preserve them is left to the property owner.
"H" Zoning Eligibility and Benefits
Any building, property or object with historic significance is eligible for historic zoning. To qualify for historic zoning, a building must be at least 50 years old and must meet one or more criteria for designation. The criteria which make a building eligible for designation are: historic event, person, design or information potential.
Additional Land Uses
The property owner may apply for apartment land uses in the R-1-H (single-family historic) zone, for office uses in the R-3-H (multi-family historic) zone and for retail commercial uses in the C-0-H (commercial office-Historic) zone.
State Historic Building Code
The Historic Building Code allows relief from many Building Code provisions, as long as life safety is maintained. For example, a stairway which is 6 inches too narrow would have to be replaced for change of use in a non-historic building, but could be retained in an "H" zoned building. The Historic Building Code also allows alternative solutions to handicap access requirements.
City grants are available to restore "H" designated buildings and prepare historic preservation programs on occasion. Historic designation also allows a property owner to apply for state and federal grants.
Owners of historic buildings in the community can reduce their property taxes through a program offered by the City. Please refer to the Mills Act Overview.
Historic Preservation Report
A Historic Preservation Report is a plan for maintenance of the historically important elements of a historically zoned building and site. It also specifies the relationship between historic elements and non-historic buildings on a site. A Historic Preservation Report is required before major changes can be made to a designated building or features of site. Once adopted, many improvements can be approved by staff with no delay in processing.
Historic Permit
A historic permit is required to make any change to a historic building site, or designated historic interior. Staff may approve changes without a historic permit if the improvement conforms to the adopted Historic Preservation Report.
Demolition of historic buildings is not allowed unless the building is a serious health safety hazard or there are significant findings documenting the reasons for demolition.

Suicide Following Circulation of Sexual Assault Photos Reminds of Dangers of Cyberbullying
Our Georgia personal injury attorneys at Montlick and Associates are committed to speaking out and supporting efforts to stop bullying of elementary, middle school and high school kids. The tragic consequences of such bullying have garnered national attention following the tragic suicide of Audrie Potts after her alleged sexual assault.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this young girl in the wake of this terrible tragedy. While the criminal case and wrongful death lawsuit are pending, the popular 15-year-old, who was a member of a band that played at President Obama's inauguration, allegedly took her own life after pictures of her sexual assault by several teenage boys were circulated online.
If these allegations are proven, they constitute far more than just bullying but rather a criminal act and intentional tort (intentional act that causes harm to another). However, the circulation of pictures of the assault demonstrates the potential severity and cruelty of online harassment and bullying. While it is hard to imagine the emotional pain that would be endured by a middle school-aged girl who learns she was raped while she was unconscious on a bed, the humiliation of having photos of such an attack published on the Internet only accentuates the intensity of this pain.
Because reports suggest that the girl only committed suicide after the photos were sent by email and text to some students at a local high school, the humiliation associated with the bullying may have been the factor that pushed her into her tragic decision. She took her own life eight days after the assault when the photos emerged. She posted on Facebook that her life had been ruined and that it was the "worst day ever."
While bullying can be difficult to detect if kids are hesitant or embarrassed to discuss what is happening, this sad and unnecessary loss of a talented young girl shows the need for parents to take bullying seriously. Increasingly, bullies are taking to online forums to inflict emotional pain and humiliation on other kids. When kids display sudden changes in demeanor or express hesitation about going to school, parents may want to ask their kids if they are experiencing bullying. Sometimes kids are apprehensive about discussing bullying, but parents may be able to determine that their child is being victimized by monitoring their kid's emails, text messaging and social media activity.
While our Georgia bullying personal injury and wrongful death attorneys know that a civil judgment or settlement cannot undo the harm caused by abusive bullying behavior, it can provide a means of holding those who perpetrate such acts financially responsible for the harm they cause. A civil liability claim can also provide recovery to help those who have been victimized by bullies and their families recover from the pain and heartache.
Montlick & Associates is the Founding Sponsor of a national anti-bullying organization called the Ambassador for Kids Club. For more information about that program, and to learn what you can to do help prevent, stop and report bullying and child abuse, visit a4kclub.org.

Movie Review of ‘Super’ (2011)
Posted by Cal Knox | Feb 8, 2012 | Action, Comedy, Drama, Thrillers | 0 |
By now, a motion picture concerning an average citizen suiting up to fight real-world crime is not an original premise anymore. Most recently we’ve seen Defendor and Kick-Ass assume such routines, and the 1980s film Hero at Large used a similar idea. 2011’s Super is writer-director James Gunn’s take on the concept. The product is fundamentally a mix of Kick-Ass and Napoleon Dynamite, with a hint of Falling Down and Death Wishalso thrown in for good measure. Super definitely has its own identity, though – it’s a darkly funny and at times just plain darkspin on the civilian superhero subgenre. With Gunn having graduated from the Troma school of filmmaking, Super is off-kilter and exceedingly violent. Conventional superhero movies often ignore extreme violence, but Gunn lets the blood and guts fly (his previous movie was 2006’s Slither).
Meek, socially awkward cook Frank (Wilson) has lived a lifetime of misery, and is devoted to his wife Sarah (Tyler) who’s recovering from several years of drug and alcohol abuse. After shady drug kingpin Jacques (Bacon) steals Sarah away from Frank, the schlub becomes insurmountably depressed, and he starts looking to remove the criminal element from the streets. Following a vivid hallucination, Frank operates under the impression that God wants him to be a superhero. Frank creates his own makeshift costume complete with a pipe wrench, and hits the streets as the Crimson Bolt to beat criminals senseless in his quest for retribution. Frank soon draws the interest of overzealous young comic book geek Libby (Page), who figures out Frank’s superhero identity and begs to become his kid sidekick Boltie.
Super‘s first half gels remarkably well, as an agreeable tone of schlocky campiness pervades the scenes of ultra-violence (the montage of Frank using a pipe wrench to punish people is a cesspool of comedic awesomeness due to Frank’s stupid and overzealous sensibilities). Things become even more fun when Boltie enters the picture, and from there the pic seems primed to become an instant classic. However, Gunn fails to entirely capitalises on this potential. As the climax kicks in, there’s a jarring change in tone and identity – things grow so bleak and uncomfortable that fun preceding it becomes tarnished. The tonal problem begins with an unforgivable character death that’s worsened by the implication that Sarah’s life is more valuable than the deceased. From there, things only go further downhill – the concluding 10 minutes are clumsy and disagreeable, and the ending’s optimism feels unearned. Furthermore, one assumes that Frank’s journey is one of self-discovery, but the payoff is half-hearted and grim, and the deceased main character is left entirely forgotten. Being an indie picture, Gunn probably wanted his story to be real-world and grounded, yet such serious aspirations do not mesh well with this darkly comic tone. It’s the equivalent of putting a scene from Schindler’s List at the end of a Jim Carrey comedy – the jarring dissonance is overwhelming.
Best known for his work on The Office, Rainn Wilson is terrific in the role of Frank – he gives the character a well-judged degree of vulnerability to make him sympathetic and likable. However, just like in Kick-Ass, the costumed kid sidekick is the one who steals the movie. As Libby/Boltie, Page is batshit crazy, breathing fearless life into this hot young geek with a healthy sexual appetite and an unexpected penchant for violence. Page’s brilliance lies in the way she sells different aspects of Libby’s personality. At first she seems like a geeky comic shop clerk, but she unleashes her inner psycho when she becomes Frank’s sidekick, cackling at criminals before telling them things like “It’s called internet bleeding fucker, and then you die!“. Oh, and she practically rapes Frank at one stage. Another standout is the underused Nathan Fillion as a bible-thumping superhero known as The Holy Avenger. Always a talented comic performer, Fillion steals every frame in which he features. In supporting roles, Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon are solid if not entirely memorable, and Michael Rooker is enjoyable as one of Jacques’ henchmen.
Ultimately, Super is a terrific idea yielding an often fun but uneven ride, with misjudged execution and Gunn’s rough-around-the-edges sensibilities marring what could have been an instant classic. Its tone is all over the shop, alternating between darkly comic and downright unsettling, rendering Super nothing more than watchable but unremarkable escapism. If James Gunn revised his script and few more times, the film may have indeed been “super”. As it is, it’s about 70 minutes of brilliance and 20 minutes of sloppiness.

Ofgem proposes new financial and customer service checks for energy firms
Callum Mason, News Reporter
Gas and electricity suppliers could face checks on their customer service and finances under reforms unveiled by the energy watchdog, following a spate of recent failures.
Ofgem has set out a series of new rules which it says are designed to drive up customer service standards, lower the risk of suppliers going bust and strengthen its 'safety net' scheme, which protects customers if a supplier goes into administration.
The move comes after more than a dozen energy suppliers failed in the past two years.
See if you can save £100s/yr with our Cheap Energy Club.
What is Ofgem proposing?
The new rules for existing suppliers would let Ofgem request independent audits of suppliers' customer service operations and finances.
New checks would be introduced for growing suppliers before they hit a certain size in terms of customers. The checks would require them to ensure they have the capability to look after their customers effectively, and if they don't they'd be stopped from taking on extra customers.
It's also proposing introducing further ongoing 'fit and proper' requirements for suppliers, to ensure those in senior management positions are fit to carry out their duties.
And the rules would also require suppliers to ensure that they would be able to cover a proportion of customers' credit balances and Government environmental scheme costs if they failed. This would not affect consumers directly, as the protections already in place to cover all domestic credit balances when a supplier fails would remain.
Ofgem is running a consultation on its proposals, which is open until Tuesday 3 December.
Martin: 'These proposed changes are long overdue'
Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: "These proposed changes are long overdue. The problem here is political posturing to push competition on the energy market, while well meaning, was rushed through, ill-thought-out, and therefore done without the necessary checks and balances needed to make competition work.
"Too many small energy firms were then able to launch on a wing and a prayer. Many clearly didn't have the skills, financial backing or customer service support needed to run a firm providing a near public good.
"It was in March last year, in conversation with the Ofgem boss, that I first warned him that under-regulated small firms who no one should touch were perversely the biggest threat to competition. Too many people have been burnt by poorly managed small companies, and that has knocked many people's faith in energy switching, and risks ultimately driving them back to the same big companies the hope was that they'd escape from.
"A few months ago we were delighted to see Ofgem introduce those checks for new firms – now it is important that similar rules are put in place for existing firms that were already set up before those changes came into being."
What does Ofgem say?
Mary Starks, executive director of consumers and markets at Ofgem, said: "The new proposals will create more accountability in the market, require more responsible and appropriate behaviour from suppliers... and reduce the risk and costs to consumers associated with supplier failure."

AMCAT Test a great way to connect with corporates, shares Aglasem hire
As an Aglasem hire, he would work in his dream creative job with an educational technology company, joining in the ranks as a social media executive.
By Vidhi Gaur -
Piyush Mewati’s journey towards becoming an Aglasem hire.
Many times, you find yourself pulled in a separate direction from your intended career arc – a slightly different role, a more creative pursuit or even a dramatically different tangent. And that is the tangent from where we begin today’s tale – the story of a Computer Science engineer becoming a social media executive. This is Piyush’s story – a recent Aglasem hire.
Meet Piyush Mewati:
Piyush Mewati, a Delhite, had an inclination towards creative pursuits from the beginning – dividing his free time in his love for photography, acting, singing and writing. So, he aspired for a more creative career stream, than just depending on his education, which would lead him to computer science or coding. “I just wanted to follow my heart so I chose Creative Field as my career.”
As an Aglasem hire, he would work in such a stream at the educational technology company, joining in as a social media executive.
“I took AMCAT because I was fed up paying amounts to consultancies which I saved from my pocket money.”
In terms of his job search journey, Mewati had had a shaky beginning, opting for consultancies and recruiters. And he felt that it had not helped at all. And that’s why he decided to invest in the AMCAT Test. “Moreover, I have heard a lot about it from my friends, so I also decided to give it a try.”
The AMCAT Test Experience:
“The AMCAT Test was awesome. Invigilators were kind and helpful, location was also decent, questions asked were outstanding, and I never felt like I was giving an “EXAM”, rather it was more of an experience.”
And a week later, he started to receive relevant interview calls from different companies. This also included the call from Aglasem EduTech, the company he finally cracked.
The Job Interview Process:
When it comes job interview processes, the one that this candidate faced to become an Aglasem hire was straightforward. A written aptitude test, focused on his English grammar and vocabulary, led to this round. And he prepared for it with the help of social media!
“I just went through the company website a night before and the profile as well. Also, I checked for the frequently asked interview questions from different social media websites.”
Now, that he has found his dream fresher job, we asked Piyush Mewati whether he would recommend the AMCAT to others. He said, yes.
“Surely, it is a great way to get in touch with the corporate instead of going to consultancies which could either be fake or ineffective.”
He also had some parting words to share with any aptitude test aspirant. “Before going for an interview, prepare for the interview process – go through the website of the company and get an overview about it and the profile for which you have applied. At the time of the interview, try to maintain your attitude and confidence as you qualify one round at a time.”
We wish Piyush the very best on his road ahead. And as we close on this story, we hope that it helped you understand how the AMCAT Test can help someone achieve their career dreams.

An Appealing Option
OCC Ombudsman Larry Hattix
Former Comptroller of the Currency, Eugene “Gene” Ludwig, created the OCC's Ombudsman's Office in 1993. The effectiveness of this program led to a statutory requirement for all federal bank regulatory agencies to establish an independent intra-agency appellate process, including a requirement for each agency to appoint an ombudsman (Section 4806 of the Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994). Almost 20 years later, the OCC Ombudsman's Office remains in very capable hands, led by a veteran national bank examiner, Larry Hattix. The current appeals guidance, for national banks and thrifts, is contained in OCC Bulletin 2011-44 – Bank Appeals Process –Guidance for Bankers.
The guidance outlines two tracks for the review of matters that qualify for a bank or thrift appeal. For the purposes of this article, the term “bank” will mean a national bank or federal savings association.
Using the case of a community bank, the bank's board of directors has the choice to submit the matter directly to the Ombudsman or to the bank's OCC district deputy comptroller (or in the case of an extremely troubled bank, the Deputy Comptroller for Special Supervision in Washington, D.C.). I've recently been asked how a community bank's board of directors might choose one path for appealable matters over the other. Here is my advice:
First, for any preliminary examination determination that may ultimately become an appealable matter, work with your examiner-in-charge and the Assistant Deputy Comptroller of your local OCC field office to try to resolve the matter. Working things out before an examination report is submitted for processing is the best and least costly step, in time and effort, for all concerned.
When a final examination report is rendered and decisions have become final, the community bank's board of directors may continue to feel that it wants to pursue an appealable matter. In that case, my advice is that they initially go through the bank's district deputy comptroller only if their bank is a CAMELS Composite 1- or 2-rated community bank without an informal or formal enforcement action. Otherwise, take the matter directly to the Ombudsman's Office.
Here is the logic: If your community bank is CAMELS Composite 2-rated with an informal or formal enforcement action (in place or pending), or 3-rated, or 4-rated under $1 billion in assets, the final decision regarding your bank's examination results and CAMELS ratings was made by the district deputy comptroller, through the mechanism of a District Supervision Review Committee (DSRC). The same decision-making authority, for extremely troubled banks (4-rated over $1 billion in assets or any 5-rated), is vested in the Deputy Comptroller for Special Supervision in Washington.
OCC Bulletin 2011-44, Bank AppealsProcess – Guidance for Bankers, has this important provision: “Recusal of the Deputy Comptroller: If the Deputy Comptroller directly or indirectly participated in making the decision under review, he or she must transfer the appeal to the Ombudsman after advising the appellant.”
Taking either appeals route, through the appropriate supervisory office or through the Ombudsman, a community bank board of directors will find seasoned and experienced professionals who want to be open, reasonable and equitable.
And remember, though some decisions are not appealable as outlined in OCC Bulletin 2011-44, the building blocks that led up to the final decisions, and now support those decisions, may themselves be appealable.

Wednesday Watch List: DEATH IS ALL AROUND!
Published on March 16, 2011 at 7:34 am
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and attempt to make chocolate chip cookies before realizing you ate the bag of chocolate chips four days ago. Dang you and your insatiable appetite! LET’S GO!
DEATHWISH MOVERS – 10:00PM (Travel Channel) You may have thought that every occupation out there had its own reality series: pawnbrokers, fishermen, truck drivers, certified public accountants… but you’re WRONG. This new Travel Channel series takes a look at the dangerous, terrifying world of MOVING. Yes, moving. China could get broken! Fingers could get smashed! That U-Haul may not get packed efficiently! The danger is almost too tempting to resist. Follow a team of Boston movers (OW-AH MOVAHS AHHH BETTAH THAN YOUR-AH MOVAHHHS!) as they attempt to hoist a piano 200 feet in the air in the swirling sideways Boston winds. Will the piano make it? Will it take the strength of 57 Jason Variteks to get it up where it belongs? There’s only one way to know! ANTICIPATION: MOVING!
TOP CHEF: ALL STARS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) The final four have to cook a seafood dinner and – A TWIST! – they must go scuba diving to catch their ingredients. Wha wha wha?! That’s krayzee! So go ahead and tape this and then skip the ten-minute part where all the chefs are like, “I have NEVAH done anything like this!” We’re aware, kiddo. That’s why it’s a reality show. I think Blais may choke at the end, by the way. This thing may be Antonia’s to lose. ANTICIPATION: BLAISIN’!
I’M ALIVE – 10:00PM (Animal Planet) A man survives a helicopter crash, only to end up trampled by an elephant and trapped under an overturned truck. So yeah, he’s a just a bit unlucky. I’d avoid lightning if I were him. ANTICIPATION: SNAKEBITTEN!
1000 WAYS TO DIE – 10:00PM (Spike) Continuing with tonight’s death theme, learn how a Russian pimp, a billionaire, an ice cream maker, and a pyromaniac meet their demise. Well, there’s just no way I’ll be able to figure out what killed the pyromaniac. Unless he was killed by fire. Seems like the obvious choice. FUN NOTE: I’m told the Russian pimp dies of a broken heart. They’re such fragile creatures. ANTICIPATION: DEATH!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) The finalists sing songs from the year in which they were born. That means one kid will bust out a Nirvana song and you will feel like the oldest thing that has ever existed on the face of the planet. ANTICIPATION: PUNK KIDS!

Setting The Standards In Claims Service
Assist Insurance Services Ltd (My Static Caravan Insurance) are very aware that the real measure of an insurance policy isn’t just the competitiveness of the premium, or the comprehensive cover the policy provides, its also the quality of service when the unthinkable happens and a claim occurs.
Assist Insurance Services believe that its insurer and claims partners provides one of the most effective claims service in the industry but rather than be complacent, Assist Insurance Services wanted to build on its service even further.
On the 15th July Assist Insurance Services hosted a claims summit day for its Lloyd’s insurer (Canopius), it’s Claim Management Service (Davies Management Services), and a group of Loss Adjusters. The day entailed an in-depth discussion as to how to further the already excellent claims service it provides, but also a tour of the Homeseeker Park & Leisure Homes ‘state of the art’ factory hosted by Homeseeker’s Managing Director, Silvano Geranio.
Assist Insurance Services have an excellent and very close relationship with Silvano, who was one of the first manufacturer’s to join Assist Insurance Services Platinum Seal Structural Warranty Scheme for Residential Park Homes and Holiday Lodges, with Prestige Park and Leisure Homes, and this year Homeseeker also joined the scheme. Silvano, just like Assist Insurance Services, is never complacent and is always looking to set his company apart from the rest of the industry. With an order book full till February 2015, his hard work clearly is paying-off. With collaborations like this, both companies will continue to set the standards which other Static Caravan and Holiday Lodge insurers and manufacturers will have to follow.
A great day was had by all, and Assist Insurance Services would like to thank Homeseeker (Silvano Geranio), its insurer (Canopius) and Davies Management for a very beneficial day.

https://www.myplainview.com/sports/article/Will-Henry-s-runs-or-Mahomes-passes-decide-AFC-14981026.php
Barry Wilner, Ap Pro Football Writer
Updated 1:11 pm CST, Thursday, January 16, 2020
The Titans haven't been to the Super Bowl since 2000. That's barely a blip on the football history screen: The Chiefs haven't been there since 1970. One of them is headed for the big game in Miami. Here's how they match up for the AFC championship:
WHEN TENNESSEE HAS THE BALL
Run. Then run again. Derrick Henry (22) has been sensational in the postseason after leading the league in rushing. Powerful and fast, elusive enough and versatile, he's a defensive nightmare. The Titans will stick with him until the Chiefs prove they can slow him down, something they never did in Week 10. That onus will fall on a D-line led by Chris Jones (92) and Frank Clark (55), LBs Anthony Hitchens (53) and Damien Wilson (54) and, likely, safeties Tyrann Mathieu (32) and Daniel Sorensen (49), who had a huge game last week.
The Chiefs like to go with five defensive backs, but they might need more bulk on the field against Henry. Dealing with a blocking unit paced by LT Taylor Lewan (77), who is a stud when he isn't collecting far too many penalties, veteran LG Rodger Saffold (76) and RT Jack Conklin (78) will be a chore for KC.
QB Ryan Tannehill (17) is 2-0 in the postseason despite barely throwing the ball. When he has — he led the league in passer rating at 117.5 — Tannehill has been effective enough, including two TD throws vs. Baltimore.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrates in the final moments of an NFL divisional playoff football game against the Houston Texans, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020, in Kansas City, Mo.

Also intriguing will be the Chiefs' vastly improved secondary against a group of somewhat obscure wide receivers led by rookie A.J. Brown (11). Tannehill plays no favorites and also targets any of his three tight ends. He needs to watch out for ball-hawking Mathieu, while the loss of rookie safety Juan Thornhill (22) could damage KC's coverage.
WHEN KANSAS CITY HAS THE BALL
Expect fireworks. Maybe not the kind that led to 41 consecutive points against Houston after the Chiefs fell behind 24-0, but some explosiveness for sure.
The catalyst, naturally, is QB Patrick Mahomes (17), who was slowed by injuries early and midway in the season. Now that he's healthy, Mahomes is looking like the 2018 league MVP who tore up the NFL.
Given time — and Tennessee has not displayed an overwhelming pass rush — Mahomes can pick apart any defense, even one as resilient as the Titans. His symbiosis with TE Travis Kelce (87) keys the attack, but he also has game-breaking WRs Tyreek Hill (10) and Sammy Watkins (14) and lightning-fast rookie Mecole Hardman (19).
Damien Williams (26) handles the bulk of the run game, and Tennessee has been formidable against the rush. Not just stopping fourth-and-1 plays, either. The Chiefs' best blockers, RT Mitchell Schwartz (71) and LT Eric Fisher (72), need to control the trenches against underrated DT Jurrell Casey (99) and his chums, who never backed down against the Patriots or Ravens.
Harold Landry (58) led the Titans with nine sacks and Kamalei Correa (44), who had five, has a quick burst to the quarterback, while Tennessee might have the league's top secondary with safeties Kevin Byard (41) and Kenny Vaccaro (24) and cornerbacks Logan Ryan (26) and Adoree' Jackson (25). It will definitely be tested Sunday. Ryan was a busy guy with 113 tackles, four picks and four forced fumbles this season.
Titans All-Pro Brett Kern (6) is the league's best punter, kicking them high and far. But don't ask about PK Greg Joseph (7) because he hasn't attempted a field goal since joining the team in December.
The Titans didn't have a touchdown on any kick returns, nor did they yield any. They did block the Chiefs' sixth field-goal attempt to clinch a November game victory. Joshua Kalu said that after seeing Kansas City try so many field goals, it gave him a chance to time up the snap thanks to a head bob by the long snapper.
Kansas City, though, started its comeback against the Texans when Hardman broke free on a kickoff run-back. He had a 104-yarder in the regular season. Hill fumbled a punt return that led to an easy score for the Texans last week.
Harrison Butker (7) is a reliable placekicker with good range. He did miss three extra points, one fewer than his misses on field goals.
Veteran punter Dustin Colquitt (2) had a kick blocked by the Texans for a TD. He's generally reliable.
Andy Reid has something close to a Hall of Fame resume, and a second trip to the Super Bowl — he lost with Philadelphia in 2005 — certainly would enhance that.
Reid has been masterful in his handling of Mahomes and the schemes that make KC's offense as dangerous as any. He was wise enough to bring in an aggressive defensive coordinator after last year's debacle on that side of the ball cost the Chiefs a shot at the NFL title. It took a while before Steve Spagnuolo's system took hold, and it didn't look too great in last week's victory over Houston. But it's far more formidable than in 2018.
Mike Vrabel has created a no-fear culture in Nashville. That has been most evident in the past three weeks, when the Titans would have been done with a loss. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is wise enough to stick to the run game, but funky enough to come up with things such as Henry's jump pass for a touchdown at Baltimore.
The Chiefs haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1970. Yes, a half-century. That's incentive enough.
Also take into account how close they came last year, with an overtime coin toss and penalty by ex-linebacker Dee Ford playing a huge role in their falling short of the Super Bowl.
Tennessee has never won an NFL championship, whether living in Music City or in Houston. The Titans also are a sixth seed, which means they're the underdog each week.
Not that it's mattered so far.

Netflix opening two new Toronto production studios
February 19, 2019 By Need a Loan Team
Netflix, leading media giant, has shared the company’s plans to set up a production hub in Toronto, according to CBC. The new locations are intended to provide key connections to local film talent.
The streaming company announced its plan to expand into Canada on Tuesday, “by leasing two studio spaces along the downtown industrial waterfront area.” The neighbourhood is already home to warehouses used as sound stages for film production.
Netflix will be leasing a total of eight sound stages at Cinespace Studios and Pinewood Studios respectively, along with office spaces at each building.
This additional and significant presence in Toronto’s film community is expected to bring in nearly two thousand jobs. Netflix said the new outposts will provide 1,850 Canadian jobs per year. The company failed to disclose if the leases will be permanent, but did mention a “multi-year” plan.
“This is great news for the Toronto and the Ontario community, because it’s an endorsement of the high quality of the work that comes out of our industry,” said Cinespace vice-president Jim Mirkopoulos.
“Netflix has made a commitment to the film and television industry here that they’re going to continue to do stuff and by making this announcement, they’re standing by that,” said Nancy MacLean, president at Pinewood Toronto Studios.
The move is set to be made within the upcoming weeks. The company also recently announced further international expansion efforts, including hubs in Madrid and Albuquerque.
Toronto Mayor John Tory had “a very high level of confidence” Netflix would take the trip north-east from California and open up some production spaces in the city. Tory has been travelling to Los Angeles in hopes of bringing more film projects to Toronto.
Responses from local talent are generally positive, many of whom seem excited about the prospect of new Canadian content funding.
On Netflix as a medium, Oscar-winner and Guillermo del Toro collaborator Miles Dale explains the freedom available:
“You can say whatever you want, you can show whatever you want, you can show real adult situations without the kind of censorship that comes in.”
How to Train Your Dragon director, Dean DeBlois, shared the sentiment:
“It’s the wild west of filmmaking within their particular format and I have several friends who have gone to Netflix with original projects and they’re just having the best time of their careers.”

There are ATMs throughout the terminals as well as two currency exchange centres. MSY has charging facilities for electronic devices and free Wi-Fi offered throughout the airport.

Why visit New Orleans?
Known as the home of jazz, New Orleans is a true melting pot in the heart of the American south. Sitting at the mouth of the Mississippi river, this city is a little bit French, a little bit Caribbean and a little bit Spanish-Creole – with a whole lot of American attitude and values thrown in over time. It’s hard to find a week where some kind of party or musical event isn’t going on, so a visit any time of year will be a delight.
Mardi Gras is by far the most popular event and is held annually between February and March, depending on when Easter falls. In April and May, the city celebrates the Jazz Festival. But New Orleans isn’t just about music. There’s incredible food on every corner and plenty of museums, such as the New Orleans Museum of Art, to keep you busy.
Don't forget before you fly
As well as sorting your US Dollars, any British passport holders travelling to New Orleans will need to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) to be allowed to enter the USA. You must apply online at least 72 hours before your flight, but the more time you allow the better. Once approved, your ESTA will grant you entry into the US for 90 days. If you don't qualify for travel under the Visa Waiver Programme, you'll need to apply for a visa at your nearest US Embassy or Consulate before you travel.

The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Based on over twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, transdiagnostic approach for helping people suffering from extremely difficult-to-treat emotional overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and treatment-resistant depression. Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume outlines the core theories of RO DBT, and provides a framework for implementing RO DBT in individual therapy.
While traditional dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has shown tremendous success in treating people with emotion dysregulation, there have been few resources available for treating those with overcontrol disorders. OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone.
RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder.
Written for mental health professionals, professors, or simply those interested in behavioral health, this seminal book—along with its companion, The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately)—provides everything you need to understand and implement this exciting new treatment in individual therapy—including theory, history, research, ongoing studies, clinical examples, and future directions.

Books by Thomas R. Lynch
“Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a truly innovative treatment, developed through translation of neuroscience into clinical practice, integrating various influences from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, emotion, personality and developmental theory, evolutionary theory, and Malamati Sufism. RO DBT is applicable to a spectrum of disorders characterized by excessive inhibitory control or overcontrol (OC). This is the first treatment that directly targets social signaling and nonverbal aspects of communication not only in clients but also in therapists. ... This book on the theory and practice of RO DBT, together with the skills training manual that describes the content of skills classes, are excellent guides for clinicians who want to embark in delivering transdiagnostic treatments based on science and clinical practice.”
—Mima Simic, MD, MRCPsych, joint head of the child and adolescent eating disorder service, and consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital in London, UK
“A new and comprehensive statement from one of the more creative minds in evidence-based clinical intervention today, RO DBT brings together a contemporary focus on a limited set of key transdiagnostic processes, with new assessment and intervention techniques for moving them in a positive direction. Emphasizing flexibility, openness, connection, and attention to social signaling, RO DBT specifies the details that can matter, from how you arrange your consulting room furniture to how nonverbal cues signal social information. RO DBT seems destined to make an impact on evidence-based care in many corners of clinical work. Highly recommended.”
—Steven C. Hayes, PhD, codeveloper of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT); Foundation Professor of psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno; and author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
“RO DBT offers an intriguing reconceptualization of traditional views of internalizing and externalizing disorders, and provides the clinician with valuable new tools to address a number of problems that have been particularly resistant to standard CBT approaches. I will definitely include RO DBT theory and techniques in my graduate-level intervention class. I know beginning clinicians in particular will be grateful to have a systematic way to approach these slow-to-warm-up clients who are difficult to establish rapport with. Their early termination from therapy and failure to respond to traditional approaches often leaves clinicians befuddled and critical of their own skills. RO DBT provides a compassionate way for clinicians to view this type of resistant client, as well as to work on some areas that are likely to benefit them. A very welcome addition to any clinician’s toolbox.”
—Linda W. Craighead, PhD, professor of psychology and director of clinical training at Emory University, and author of The Appetite Awareness Workbook

Skills Training Manual for RO DBT
In a well organized and coherent volume based on years of research and development, Dr. Lynch provides step by step guidance for teaching the RO DBT skills in a class setting. Skills class worksheets and handouts are found in the same chapter as the instructor's lesson plan. Varied methods for learning in a classroom setting are creative and are in and of themselves interventions for problematic overcontrol tendencies. As a clinician trained in this model and co-teaching RO DBT skills classes, I have been very impressed with the effectiveness of these skills, especially for people with significant overcontrol coping style for whom other psychotherapeutic interventions have had limited yield. In my experience to date using this model, participants with even moderate overcontrol tendencies have endorsed great benefit from RO DBT. Highly recommended if you wish to serve populations experiencing disorders of overcontrol.

Opposition parties in Chhattisgarh boycott Governor’s special session address
Chhattisgarh Assembly is holding a one-day special session to ratify the bill for extending the reservation for communities of Scheduled Tribe/Scheduled Caste by another 10 years in state assemblies.

By Express News Service
RAIPUR: In an unprecedented occurrence in the history of Chhattisgarh Assembly, the opposition parties BJP and the Ajit Jogi-led Janta Congress Chhattisgarh (J) boycotted the customary address of Governor Anusuiya Uikey in the House on Thursday.
Chhattisgarh Assembly is holding a one-day special session to ratify the bill for extending the reservation for communities of Scheduled Tribe/Scheduled Caste by another 10 years in the state assemblies.
The Parliament has already passed the Constitution (126th), Amendment Bill, last month. And now at least 50 per cent of the states Assemblies needed to ratify ahead of its implementation. The reservation for both the class is due to end on January 25 this year.
The Chhattisgarh BJP strongly objected to holding special session for one day, convened by the state government, with the Governor’s address and the discussion on motion of thanks to it the same day, besides the ratification of the Amendment bill.
The party had demanded the session should have been extended like the neighbouring state of Madhya Pradesh where a two-day special session has been convened on January 16-17. The JCC (J) members too boycotted with the BJP as a mark of protest.
“We cannot be part of such practice, that breaks the established tradition of the House. So we decided to boycott the Governor’s address”, the former chief minister Raman Singh said.
However, Congress felt such boycott was unwarranted. “Such protest and boycott is nothing more than playing of politics by the opposition”, said the parliamentary affairs minister Ravindra Choubey.

Few scenes put the senses on edge more than a submerged alligator, only eyes and snout showing, when peering across a southern lake on a misty morning. An iconic American predator, these reptiles grow to thirteen feet or more and can live as long as humans. Alligators are complex creatures, capable of terrific attacks and yet tending to their young in the same gentle way a mother duck looks after her brood. Once extremely numerous, alligators came close to extinction in the twentieth century, but thanks to conservation efforts have since made a comeback, reclaiming their rightful place as the monarchs of the southern wetlands.
In this fascinating account, richly illustrated with more than 150 photographs from award-winning wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch, expert zoologist Kent A. Vliet introduces readers to the biology, ecology, and natural history of the American alligator. Sharing nuanced depictions of their hidden lives that will forever change the way you think of these giant reptiles, the book:
- combines captivating storytelling with the most current scientific facts
- chronicles the life cycle of the alligator
- explains why the alligator's precise anatomy and physiology make it so successful
- covers a wide range of topics, from courtship and reproduction to communication, basking, nest-building, and hunting
- reveals the alligator's sophisticated social life in detail
- evaluates the alligator's environmental role as a keystone species
- examines the complicated relationship between alligators and people

International records set by Nepal in Cricket
Prem Kumar Shrestha July 17, 2014 0
It has been some time that Nepali Cricket had got its exposure in International arena. In this time many international records has been set by Nepal in cricket. You can find those records set by Nepal in this blog post.
Cricket is a sport which captivates a lot of people. Since its establishment in England it has been played in lot of countries today. The then British introduced the game in its colonies and the game gained popularity all over the world.
Nepali Cricket Team
With its popularity, the governing body of cricket worldwide ICC(International Cricket Council) governs and regulates the game. It has its member countries and it organizes different formats of games annually. The test series, One day international 50 overs game and the short format T20 games.
Nepal also joined ICC as an affiliate member in 1988 and became an Associate member of the International Cricket council in 1996 where the Nepali Cricket Team got chance to experience International game in the ACC Trophy which was held in Kualampur, Malasiya.
During this short period of time Nepal cricket Team got an opportunity to play in different games held by ICC and recently the cricket Governing body International CricketCouncil provided Nepal with a T20 status. Where Nepal will be able to participate in different T20 games held in different places.
Within short period of time the pride of Nepal have set some records in the cricket, which I am presenting for you friends for your General Knowledge.
• Nepal bowled out Myanmar for just 10 off 12.1 overs in 2006 ACC Trophy and chased the target of 11 in just 0.2 overs. The score of 10 was the lowest in any level of men's international cricket. Nepal set two records of bowling out the opponent for minimum.number of runs and chasing the target in minimum overs, both in the same match.
• Nepal's highest One Day score: 397/8 (50.0 ov) against Bhutan, 2003 ACC Emerging Nations Tournament.
• Nepal's highest Twenty20 score: 210/5 (20.0 ov) against Singapore, 2013 ACC Twenty20 Cup.
• Highest individual One Day score: 115 off 142 balls by Subash Khakurel against United States, 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four.
• Highest individual Twenty20 score: 88 off 41 balls by Mehboob Alam against Saudi Arabia, 2011 ACC Twenty20 Cup.
• Best One Day innings bowling: 10/12 (7.5 ov) by Mehboob Alam against Mozambique, 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Five. He became the first bowler to take all 10 wickets in an ICC international cricket match with limited overs and set the record in Guinness World Records. The accomplishment has only happened professionally in two other instances, both in Test cricket with unlimited overs.
• Best Twenty20 innings bowling: 4/11 (3.0 ov) by Dipendra Chaudhary against Kuwait, 2009 ACC Twenty20 Cup.
• Best economy rate in an innings: 0.20 (Bowling spell: 10–8–2–3) by Shakti Gauchan against Malaysia, 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four. The figure of 10–8–2–3 is the most economical bowling spell record in the history of international cricket match with limited overs.
• Nepal managed to set a unique world record by not delivering any wide ball and no ball throughout the tournament in 2014 ICC World Twenty20.
The Youngest Male Player In History To Make An International Half-Century.
Nepal batsman Rohit Paudel hit 55 off 58 balls against UAE, becoming, at 16 years, 146 days old. The previous youngest was none other than Sachin Tendulkar, who made 59 in a Test against Pakistan aged 16 years and 213 days, while in ODIs the mark was set by Shahid Afridi, who smashed a 37-ball century, also a record at the time, aged 16 years and 217 days in his maiden international innings against Sri Lanka.
The Youngest Male Player In History To Make An T20 International Half-Century.
Nepal’s Sundeep Jora has become the youngest man to score a T20I fifty at the age of 17 years, 103 days with 53* on debut.
Nepalese Cricket Team Carry a huge potential in uplifting the cricket in Nepal along with some challenges such as lack of financial support, lack of professionalism, no proper infrastructures etc. if provided with proper infrastructure and some international level tournaments with International exposure to other teams. Nepalse cricket have a bright future ahead.

Carafe for connoisseurs
With the aura of Don Draper and elegant retro vibes, the bar trolley has made a huge comeback - and so has stylish storage
Photo: Holmegaard
In recent years, the bar trolley has made a comeback in contemporary home interiors, and with good reason. A well-stocked bar trolley exudes the unmistakable aura of Don Draper and elegant retro vibes, and the cocktail cult and resurgence of classic types of spirits such as gin and whisky have also created a need for stylish storage of bottles, glasses and gadgets.
In spring 2018, a new bar accessory is reporting for duty with Holmegaard’s relaunch of the iconic No. 5 Carafe. Per Lütken designed the original carafe in 1970, and the combination of simple lines and thick, mouth-blown glass is still highly relevant today – both for the bar trolley and for everyday stylish serving of water, juice, etc.
Timeless and tight-fitting
When Per Lütken designed No. 5 in 1970, he created a glassware range that was both ahead of its time and atypical. Instead of a traditional, organic look, Lütken deliberately pursued a more cutting edge, simple design, and today – almost half a century later – this visionary design fits seamlessly into modern interiors.
This applies not least to the No. 5 carafe, now making a comeback that is 100% faithful to the original design, and with plenty of luxurious details from top to bottom.
The thick, mouth-blown glass gives the carafe gravitas and makes for an elegant effect when it is filled with liquid. The carafe’s shoulder is a nod to the lip-friendly drinking rim of the No. 5 glasses, while it embraces the heavy, polished stopper, milled to glide smoothly down into the carafe for a tight seal. The tight-fitting stopper makes using the No. 5 carafe an obvious choice for serving vintage drops from the bar trolley and pouring aperitifs and after-dinner drinks with the ultimate design factor.
On weekdays and hot summer days, the No. 5 carafe is perfect for all kinds of juice and sparkling water with mint or slices of lime lying elegantly at the bottom of the iconic glass design and raising the “bar” of even soft drinks to new heights.

Solar industry, towns battle over local rooftop panel rules
Stephen Singer The Associated Press
May 18, 2015 at 6:46 AM May 18, 2015 at 3:01 PM
HARTFORD - Efforts to encourage more residential rooftop solar panels in Connecticut are being slowed by a cumbersome permitting process at the local level, the industry says.
Towns and cities say more rules will cost money.
From these two points of view, legislation emerged that would require towns to approve or deny permits in 30 days and give them 30 days to conduct inspections of new installations. Solar installers say that's already part of state law, and accuse the municipalities and their allies in the legislature of gutting legislation streamlining permits.
A key complaint among solar panel installers is that permit fees charged by municipalities to homeowners for solar panel installation are excessive.
"The homeowner doesn't know how they're being gouged," said Mike Trahan, executive director of SolarConnecticut Inc., the state's solar energy business association.
Lawmakers removed a proposed $200 cap on municipal application fees, which Elizabeth Gara, executive director of the Connecticut Council of Small Towns, said could erode municipal revenue.
The average fee is $396, according to Connecticut Green Bank, a quasi-public agency. Fees range from free among towns that waive the cost to as much as $922.
"We're not looking for a free ride," Trahan said. "We're looking for a fee more in line with what work is done."
Lawmakers scuttled other proposals, he said, citing a requirement that towns establish a checklist of necessary permit documents, post the checklist online, allow contractors to submit permits online or in the mail and shorten the permit review time to 10 days.
A range of incentives such as leases and loans, tax exemptions, federal incentives and other programs are available to Connecticut homeowners and businesses. As much as 86 megawatts of residential solar energy are operating, approved or in progress, according to Connecticut Green Bank. That's enough to power nearly 12,000 homes.
In addition, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has set a goal of 300 megawatts or more of residential solar power by 2022 in a proposal calling on utilities to buy credits produced by residential solar energy systems.
But solar panel installers say navigating a maze of town practices such as different building inspectors' hours of operation, payment methods, inspections and other procedures are slowing expansion and driving up costs for homeowners.
"There's no rhyme or reason," said Pete Debbas, a partner in Skyline Solar, which designs and installs solar panels. "It's kind of the wild west."
Rep. Laura Hoydick, R-Stratford, said the industry is seeking "great things and we should get them." But lawmakers are reluctant to impose more mandates, she said.
The revised legislation allows — rather than requires — towns to move closer to what the industry is seeking, she said.
Nationally, homeowners and businesses can expect to spend an average of six months for applications, inspections, construction and other steps to go solar, said Minh Le, director of the Solar Energy Technologies Office at the Department of Energy. The federal agency has launched a competition offering $10 million to the best teams that cut "the permit to plug-in time" to seven days for small solar systems or seven weeks for large systems.
"The ultimate challenge is not that one town has a process that takes a long time," Le said. "The issue is the town next to it that has a very different process."
Sen. Paul Formica, R-East Lyme, said Connecticut's patchwork of local governments and agencies has hindered efforts in other areas, such as consolidating emergency dispatch and other services. Streamlining municipal building inspection shouldn't be difficult, Formica said.
"How much different is it building a deck in Durham or Madison?" he asked.
Rep. Lonnie Reed, the House chairwoman of the legislature's Energy and Technology Committee, said the debate over solar rules shows that alternative energy has become an important industry in Connecticut.
"It means renewables are really having an impact," she said.

What does it mean to be a Church School?
I became a local authority Governor in April 2014. I also sit on the School Improvement subcommittee and have some responsibility for helping the Federation continue to ensure that vulnerable children and those with special educational needs or disability meet their full potential.
I have previously owned and managed a children’s nursery in Totton, and continue to work with pre-school children. I am enjoying my role as a school Governor, and hope to continue supporting the development of the Federation and children’s welfare and education as well as I can.
Francesca Mahon
I became a parent Governor in January 2015 and am now a co-opted governor. I have three children, one of whom still attends Netley Marsh Infant school. My children thoroughly enjoy all aspects of school life. I believe the federation provides a wonderful environment for children to learn and feel safe. I wanted to make a contribution and represent the views and concerns of the parents. I am a Children’s nurse and am interested in the health and wellbeing of our children.
Alan Nicholas
I became a Foundation Governor in 2009 when my youngest daughter was at St. Michael’s (a time she thoroughly enjoyed), as a way of giving something back to the Federation. As a manager at a local university, I fully appreciate the huge significance of education in the lives of children (and adults too). My interests outside work include natural history, drama and local church activities.
Marie Kirk
I have been a Foundation Governor for just over 4 years and have recently taken on the responsibility of Chair of Governors. I have three children, who now attend Bartley Junior School. I also work part time as a Maths teacher at Hounsdown. My role as Foundation governor means that I am a link between St Mary’s church in Copythorne and the Federation of schools. I am committed to ensuring that children that attend the Oaks Federation not only receive an excellent educational experience but are also able to grow into confident and well rounded individuals.
Steve Trevett
I have been a governor for over 10 years, initially at Copythorne and then for the federation as a whole.
When I started governing, my eldest child was at the school and, now that he and his sister are both at Hounsdown, they both look back at their time there with affection.
The federation has been a great benefit to both schools and it has been interesting and encouraging to see how all the schools have developed over the last few years.
I currently serve on the resources committee which oversees the federation’s finance and personnel issues.
Employment wise, I work for a well known insurance company as a Loss Control Surveyor.
Revd John Reeve
I am Team Vicar at St.Matthew’s Netley Marsh and Priest in Charge at St. Mary’s Copythorne. On the Governing Body I attend the School Improvement Committee and the Christian Ethos Committee. In my parish work I also spend time in Bartley CE Junior School and Hazelwood Infants. I meet many families from the community in the many baptism services I take as well as the extensive ministry in weddings and funerals. In my spare time I play tennis and football regularly with an occasional game of cricket in the summer. I am also a yoga enthusiast. I love being a learner myself, and it’s great being part of a team of schools which are so engaged with providing a fun, stimulating and imaginative curriculum.
Ian Hopkin
I became a Foundation Governor in 2015, after my son had completed 3 very happy years in Netley Marsh school. In my association with the Federation, I have been very impressed with the ethos and values of the schools and am committed to helping ensure that all children continue to receive a very high standard of education in a safe, fun and nurturing environment.
I am married with 3 children and work as a manager within a global IT company. In my spare time I help support the Netley Marsh Beaver Scout group as well as learning Karate and cycling regularly in the New Forest
Jennie Wright
I was elected as Parent Governor for Copythorne Infants in October 2015. I am also on the PTFA and have previously been the Chair of Copythorne Pre-School. I have a son now at Bartley and another at Copythorne. I am currently a Director of Digital and Corporate IT, and have many years experience running various Digital businesses for household names. I hope I can support the Federation in achieving their goals and represent the parents of Copythorne to ensure every child has the best possible education, while having fun!
I was appointed as Foundation Governor in November 2016 providing a connection between St Mary’s Church and the Federation. I currently work part-time as an independent consultant in the Charity, Housing and Social Care sectors. I am married with 3 young children all of whom do, or will, attend one of the schools in the Federation. I currently serve on the school improvement committee and wish to ensure that the high standards of education, along with the community and Christian ethos which runs through the Federation schools, continue and develop.
Christine Chapman
Having recently moved to the New Forest I became a Foundation Governor in February 2018, having been a parent/foundation governor at my Children’s School in Surrey for 8 years. I have four children who are now all in further education. I have spent the last 20 years of my professional life supporting families and currently working for Surrey County Council leading on their Parenting Strategy and Troubled Families programme but looking forward to my new appointment as Business Development Director for Home-Start Hampshire. I am keen to use both my professional and personal experiences to supporting children and their families in my local community to ensure that children have a positive experience of their school years both academically and emotionally and become confident resilient individuals.

To Be Continued by Karen Downing
Comments Off on Our award winning collaborator!
We’re very pleased that Associate Professor Tanya Dalziell from the University of Western Australia has curated Tom Morison’s Golden Christmas, the latest ‘To Be Continued’ collection, and written an introduction. Tanya’s interests are in twentieth-century, Australian, and postcolonial and transnational literature. Her most recent book, with Paul Genoni, Half the Perfect World: Writers, Dreamers and Drifters on Hydra, 1955–1964, tells the story of the post-war international artist community on the Greek island of Hydra, that famously included singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as well as the Australian literary couple, Charmian Clift and George Johnston. It has just won the 2019 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-fiction.
Gold in the archives
Comments Off on Gold in the archives
The Obiter team has been digging into the database for shiny nuggets of nineteenth century fiction for our next title in the ‘To Be Continued’ series. With the bad puns you’ve probably guessed that this will be a collection of gold mining stories. We’ve busy cutting and polishing stories about bad luck and good luck, temptation and greed, crime and redemption, mateship and romance.
These stories evince the way in which gold finds in Australia fired both economic and literary imaginations well into the late nineteenth century. ‘Gold,’ writes Tanya Dalziell in her introduction, ‘readily lent itself to imaginative speculations about life in the colonies and the proper ways in which it should be led.’ And stories about gold, such as these, ‘say less about the substance itself than the life and times in which it circulates.’
Tom Morison’s Golden Christmas will be available in December and you can pre-order online.

Comments Off on Editors help writing be the best version of itself
Author Sarah Madden was complimentary about the editorial process for Blue in the Red House when interviewed by Jessica Gately for the latest issue of Underground Writer’s zine Roots (issue 25, page 8). She said ‘it made the book flow better, read better, and ultimately be the best version of itself it could be’. We may be a little biased, but we agree that Aidan’s editing was thoughtful, encouraging and supportive – just what every author hopes for.
Sarah’s novella was our first experimental non-fiction title – which is the only genre for which we are currently open to submissions.

Obiter Publishing and the Singed Sisters were able to donate a further $3500 to YWCA Canberra in January from sales of Tears, Laughter, Champagne. In her thanks, CEO Frances Crimmins reminded us that we are helping to ‘make a difference in the lives of women, children and families in Canberra by ensuring they have the essential supports and resources they need to live’. Richard Perno talked to Karen on Radio 2CC about how the Singed Sisters turned the tragedy of losing their homes in a bushfire into a positive money-raising effort.
There aren’t many copies of the book left now, so if getting hold of a copy has ever crossed your mind don’t put it off much longer. Check out Canberra stockists or buy online.

Comments Off on Two titles launched into the world
Obiter ended the year doing what we love most, sending two new books into the world!
We raised a glass of congratulations to Sarah Madden in Melbourne last Tuesday evening at the launch of her debut novella Blue in the Red House. And we learned, finally, where the name for Sarah’s protagonist, Ms De Beer originated. We had been trying to conjure metaphors of diamonds but, no, the name is simply a fun nod to a certain amber brew of which Sarah is quite fond!
It was a pleasure to work with Writers Victoria to celebrate Sarah and her work and we thank them for their hospitality and generosity.

director Fiona Tuomy, who was also Write-ability’s founding Mentor-in-Residence.
We would also like to thank Katherine Bode, our series editor for ‘To Be Continued’, and Imelda Whelehan, who selected the stories for the latest title in the series and wrote the introduction, and Martin Willis who read excerpts from the book at its launch. It has been a pleasure to work with them on Christmas Eve in a Gum Tree and Other Lost Australian Christmas Stories.
Last Monday in Canberra, Marnie Hughes-Warrington did the book proud in her launch speech in which she pointed out that despite the heat and disastrous weather events in Australian Christmas stories they all do end up being about love: love between sweethearts, love between parents and children, love lost, love earned, love that endures time and place.

Comments Off on Just in time for Christmas
Australian fiction, Australian writing, Christmas stories
‘This collection,’ says Imelda Whelehan, ‘is for everyone who wants their Christmas stories to mirror their Christmas location – with the heat on their backs, perhaps wondering if lowering clouds presage a storm or more extreme weather event. They will be best savoured as the barbecue sizzles or while dipping a toe in the water, enjoying fresh raspberries, cherries or apricots, or during lunch at the cricket.’
‘It might be a tonic, too,’ she points out, ‘for those travellers who find themselves in the northern hemisphere longing for the characteristic smells and sounds of an Australian summer holiday.’
Professor Whelehan is a scholar of women’s writing, feminism, popular culture and literary adaptations and the current Dean of Higher Research at the Australian National University. She and her family moved to Australia from England eight years ago where Christmas was shaped by Dickensian images of Victorian English celebrations recycled on chocolate boxes and biscuit tins and Christmas Day was accompanied by adaptations of A Christmas Carol on television. Like all migrants, she says, ‘we gradually acclimatised and adjusted our family traditions to make the most of a beautiful Australian summer.’
Imelda has written the introduction to our collection of ‘lost’ nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australian Christmas stories that have not been previously published beyond their original serialisation in newspapers. We are delighted with the gorgeous cover from the talented team at Giraffe, using a perfect image by photographer Jane Worner at Austockphoto.
The book is available for pre-order in our online store.

Australian fiction, Australian writing, christmas, Christmas stories, fiction, short stories
Christmas in fiction – a time when families reunite and love blossoms, when evil is overcome and tragedy is averted. Cruelty and revenge are offset by heroism and forgiveness, and constancy in love is rewarded. But in Australia Christmas stories are also marked by fire and flood, cyclone and drought, and the perils of isolation. Cattle drovers find themselves stuck in a gumtree, a sheep stealer’s son is lost in the bush, and love’s ‘cooee’ is heard as far away as London. All the drama of nature and humanity is vividly recounted in this collection of nineteenth-century Australian Christmas stories.
Christmas Eve in a Gum Tree is the second title in Obiter’s ‘To Be Continued’ series. It collects previously unpublished stories unearthed in an Australian Research Council funded project that has produced a bibliographic index and full-text archive of fiction in Australian newspapers from 1803 to 1955. The stories are contextualised in an introduction by Professor Imelda Whelehan, a scholar of women’s writing, feminism, popular culture and literary adaptations and the current Dean of Higher Research at the Australian National University.
Christmas Eve in a Gum Tree and Other Lost Australian Christmas Stories will be published next month. Further info soon!
You can purchase the first title in the ‘To Be Continued…’ series, How I Pawned My Opals and Other Lost Stories by Catherine Martin, from the shop section of our website.

Forthcoming: Blue in the Red House
New release by Aidan Delaney
Comments Off on Forthcoming: Blue in the Red House
Australian fiction, Australian writing, diversity
Obiter Publishing is excited to announce the forthcoming release of our first ‘Futures’ experimental non-fiction title, Blue in the Red House.
Blue in the Red House is a hybrid memoir/magic realist novella from debut author Sarah Madden, which recreates her experience of being diagnosed with Autism at age 34.
Sarah Madden grew up in New Zealand and has been based in Victoria for the past 5 years, after spending a number of years living in the Middle East. Since landing in Australia, Madden has rediscovered her love of writing and words, and was awarded a Write-ability Fellowship by Writers Victoria in 2014. Madden writes fiction, memoir and poetry, most with a lyrical, slightly magical treatment woven through the threads of the everyday. Madden has been published, as Sarah Widdup, by Underground Writers, The Big Smoke and Hot Chicks with Big Brains.
In Blue in the Red House, readers follow the journey of Ms De Beer who seeks out a doctor to assist with removing her eyes, figuring she no longer needs them. She is surprised to learn the true source of her concerns. Ms De Beer cannot see red. As a result, she has been leaving a trail of heart-blood behind her everywhere she goes.
Reeling from this information, Ms De Beer sets out on a journey to rediscover herself. Along the way she discovers far more of herself than she expects. But piecing all of the parts together and learning to see clearly will be harder than she thought.
Through the journey of Ms De Beer, Madden recreates her own story of being diagnosed as autistic. The story reimagines Madden’s sensory perception of the world around her and her place within it. In fiction, Madden illuminates the truth in ways that strict facts often cannot manage.
Blue in the Red House will be released in November 2018.

To Be Continued – you can get involved!
Comments Off on To Be Continued – you can get involved!
We are working on some more exciting collections of nineteenth-century fiction in our ‘To Be Continued’ series – details soon! – but in the meantime, you can get involved in the project by editing texts and adding your own discoveries to the 21,000 works already uncovered.
Associate Professor Katherine Bode’s amazing Australian Newspaper Fiction Database has analysed the mass-digitised newspaper archive, and national treasure, called Trove to bring to light a vast new collection of fiction that is providing new insights in the development of Australian literary, publishing and reading culture.
You can explore the database, but you can also help correct the text and add instalments and new stories – many tens of thousands of stories remain undiscovered in the newspaper pages.
Correcting text will make searching the database more reliable and will also improve the quality of the newspaper text in Trove. Adding newly discovered instalments and publications will grow our knowledge of what fiction was published and available to read.
How I Pawned My Opals and Other Lost Stories is the first title in Obiter’s ‘To Be Continued’ series. Kath Bode’s introduction to this collection gives us a greater appreciation of the work of Catherine Martin and a taste of the deeper understanding of Australia’s literary history that the Australian Newspaper Fiction Database is opening up to us.

NW_20060309_en_German LBBW (Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg) offers Secure Retail e-banking to its Customers with VASCO’s Digipass 250
CeBIT, HANNOVER, GERMANY, March 9, 2006 -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (www.vasco.com) (Nasdaq: VDSI), the global number one vendor of strong user authentication products, today announced that German bank LBBW (www.lbbw.de ) will use VASCO’s Digipass 250 to enable secure online banking for its retail bank subsidiary Baden-Wuerttembergische Bank (BW-Bank).

But also for VASCO’s renown and vast experience in the Banking Sector,” said Mr. Lange, project manager Retail, of LBBW. “Security and high quality customer service are of the utmost importance for LBBW. Together with VASCO, we’ll offer our customers a secure and easy way to use online banking application.”
“We welcome LBBW as a customer,” said Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President and COO. “In today’s online banking environment, strong authentication is needed to protect the end user’s assets. We are convinced that the addition of Digipass will make LBBW’s application even more successful.”

Hello and welcome to the June newsletter from Orkney.com.
As summer arrives we’ll be bringing you the latest on life here in the islands, including our wildlife watch, another featured attraction and a round-up of all the monthly events.
If you’d like to find out more about Orkney, visit the Orkney.com and Visit Orkney websites, and follow us via social media.
June headlines
St Magnus Cathedral will play a major part in this year's St Magnus International Festival
Festival time to kick off summer
The St Magnus International Festival will get underway later this month, marking the start to summer here in Orkney. It all begins on the 16th of June and will feature performances and concerts across the islands before it comes to a close on the 24th. Orkney’s links with Scandinavia will be celebrated this year, and the focus will also be on the story of St Magnus too. There are still tickets available – visit the official website to plan your trip.

New gin hits the shelves
The first handcrafted spirits from Orkney’s newest distillery have been launched. The Deerness Distillery has started selling its ‘Sea Glass Gin’ and ‘Into the Wild Vodka’ locally, with both products earning rave reviews. The distillery is based in Orkney’s east mainland and the entire operation is carried out by husband and wife team Stuart and Adelle Brown. Plans are already in place to expand the range with new spirits and liqueurs. It’s hoped the bottles will soon be on sale across Scotland and online via the company’s new website, which will be launched in the coming weeks.
Visitors will be able to see some of Orkney's innovative marine energy technology
Energy of Orkney takes centre stage
Orkney’s marine energy industry will welcome representatives from the European Commission later this month to highlight the scale of developments in the islands. The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Stromness will host two days of events in association with Ocean Energy Europe, which will include a public open day on 28th June with access to a number of onshore marine energy sites. Seminars and exhibitions, showcasing the local supply chain and projects, will also be held. Find out more about the plans as they develop via the EMEC website.
Ortak Managing Director, Michael Gardens, in the company's new base in Kirkwall
Homecoming for iconic island company
Orkney jewellery brand, Ortak, is relocating back home to its former premises in Kirkwall. The move from its current workshop to the much larger building at Hatston will allow the company to continue with plans to expand production and its range of trade services. The Hatston factory and visitor centre were mothballed after the original Ortak business fell into administration in 2013, before a group of investors bought the brand the following year. Since then, the new company has steadily worked towards regaining its share of the UK jewellery market. Find out more via the Orkney Crafts Association website.

June in Orkney
The summer is here and that means there is a packed calendar of events and activities to enjoy across Orkney this month.
The main focus is on the St Magnus International Festival between the 16th and 21st of June. The midsummer celebration of the arts will have a distinctly Scandinavian theme this year, marking Orkney’s Norse heritage and the story of St Magnus, 900 years after his martyrdom. There will be world premieres, specially commissioned works and performances from local and visiting acts alike. There really is so much to see and do. Take a look at the official website for programme information.
The Trondheim Soloists will be appearing at the St Magnus International Festival this year
Another special event gets underway on the 17th of June. The first Orkney Garden Festival will celebrate some of the beautiful gardens to be found across the islands, as well as the hard work that has gone into creating them! Twenty-eight local gardens will be open to the public during the festival, which runs until the 25th. There will be four garden trails and a host of other events, including plant sales, live music and lots of afternoon teas. Profits from the festival will be donated to charity. Tickets are available from Scapa Travel in Kirkwall - find out more via the Visit Orkney website.

There is plenty of action for archaeology fans in Orkney this month. The first main excavation of the season gets underway at The Cairns in South Ronaldsay, near Windwick bay, in June. It’s an impressive Iron Age settlement and features a large broch with surrounding buildings. It’s a fascinating chance to see archaeology in action – it’s open between the 12th of June and the 7th of July, 10am to 4pm, with an open day on the 30th of June. Follow the project on Facebook for regular updates.

The site will also be hosting a Field Archaeology short course between the 21st and 23rd of June, providing basic training and understanding of the practices and processes of field archaeology. It costs £190 and you can find out more by emailing studyarchaeology@uhi.ac.uk.
Staying with archaeology, and although the Ness of Brodgar excavation doesn’t open again until the 3rd of July, you can hear all about the project at a special talk on the 15th of June. Dig Director Nick Card will be talking about ‘Structure 10: A Neolithic Cathedral’ at the Orkney Theatre from 7pm.
In Rousay you can view the investigations of a Viking/Norse farm mound at Skaill on the 16th of June. There will be an open afternoon at the site before further excavations continue in July. The following day you can take a guided walk through Hoy’s valleys with archaeologist Dan Lee to Peter Maxwell Davis’ former home in Rackwick. Meet at the Moaness Pier at 10am on the 17th (ferry travel not included).
Walk to the beautiful Rackwick and Peter Maxwell Davies' former home this month
There’s a real treat for comedy fans on the 9th of June. Jeremy Hardy will be performing at the Stromness Town Hall, bringing his new tour to Orkney for the first time. He’s a veteran of BBC Radio 4 as well as television programmes including QI and Mock the Week. Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start and tickets are on sale now from Beyond Presents, Ticketmaster and from Stromness Books & Prints.
Even though the Orkney Folk Festival is over for another year, music fans can still catch what is sure to be an excellent performance on Sunday 11th June in the Burray Hall. Jenny Sturgeon and Jonny Hardie will be taking to the stage at 7pm – tickets can be bought at the door or at Seaview Stores in Burray, The Trading Post in St Margaret’s Hope or The Reel in Kirkwall.
Then on Tuesday 13th, The Reel will be hosting another Orcadian Summer Concert, featuring a variety of local artists. Booking is recommended on 01856 871 000. Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. There will be another concert on Tuesday 27th too.

Visit the Scapa Flow Visitor Centre after you take a walking tour of Lyness
If the summer weather doesn’t play ball there are plenty of indoor events to enjoy in June. You can listen to stories from Orkney and enjoy a complimentary Orkney drink around a peat fire with Island Tales and Ales throughout the summer. Hear about Orcadian folklore and legends at the Still Room in the Stromness Hotel every Wednesday and Sunday until the end of September at 8pm. It costs £10 and booking is essential – contact Lynn on 01856 841 207 for more details.

There are always exciting artistic exhibitions on throughout the year in Orkney and the summer months are no different. The Pier Arts Centre in Stromness has 'Movement & Light' by Katy Dove until the 3rd of June and ‘Walking the Sound’ by Orkney ‘Artist in Residence’ Anne Bevan until the 10th. On the 17th a special exhibition held across three venues - the Pier Arts Centre, the Stromness Museum and the Orkney Museum will open.

The Loft Gallery in St Margaret’s Hope has ‘Expressions of tranquillity, landscape and migration’ on display until the 4th of July, with ‘7 Waves’, the Magnus 900 art installation, in the St Magnus Church in Birsay until the end of August. You can also see 14 painted sails hanging in St Magnus Cathedral this summer. They were created by a group of artists in 1993 and feature specially commissioned poetry by George Mackay Brown.
These sails are on display in St Magnus Cathedral until the end of the summer
That’s just a taste of events in Orkney during June. There’s always lots more happening around the islands – keep up to date with the Visit Orkney events page, pick up a copy of local newspaper ‘The Orcadian’ every Thursday or tune into BBC Radio Orkney every weekday morning from 0730 on 93.7FM or on Facebook.
Where to watch Orkney's wildlife
Our monthly wildlife feature highlights some of Orkney’s nature and wildlife hotspots. Alison Nimmo from RSPB Orkney has taken to the high seas for June.
Travelling to or from Orkney by sea can be a treat in itself – a chance to enjoy the county’s spectacular coastal scenery from a different angle, and to surround yourself with marine wildlife. A variety of routes are on offer depending on where you’re coming from and the ferry operator, so I’ll keep this neutral!
You’ll find birdlife all around, with gannets arrowing into the water to catch fish and streams of auks flying to and from their cliff-face colonies. Look down from the side of the ferry and you may see guillemots, razorbills and puffins sitting on the water, sometimes surprisingly close – they often only bother to move when the ship is nearly upon them, little wings whirring in a hasty take-off.
Binoculars are a must if travelling to Orkney by ferry
Fulmars skim the surface constantly, master gliders in any weather, and bonxies (great skuas) flap heavily past on the look-out for their next victim or an easy meal to pirate. A gathering of screeching terns means rich feeding, the birds dipping gracefully to the water to rise up again with a shining morsel in their bill. You may spot the more acrobatic Arctic skuas in attendance here, chasing the terns to force them to regurgitate their catch.
There is always plenty of birdlife to spot from the deck of an Orkney-bound ship
Look out for seals basking along harbour shores or on rocky islets, if the tide is right, and on the uninhabited islands of Stroma and Swona if you pass close enough (on Swona you may also glimpse the island’s feral cattle). Common seals will be giving birth to their pups around June and July, with the pups able to swim from just a few hours old.

Finally, if you’re keen to see cetaceans – whales, dolphins and porpoises – here’s a helpful guide to likely species and hotspots put together by the Sea Watch Foundation. There have been some wonderful sightings in recent weeks. For once I’ve even been in the right place at the right time to enjoy some myself, including a pod of Risso’s dolphins during the Orkney Nature Festival cruise and orcas passing through Hoy Sound a couple of days later. There’s something special about encountering these creatures, if only for a few seconds, that stays with you – so do take advantage of any calm seas to keep watch on deck, and I hope your patience is rewarded.
Be prepared for any cetacean sightings!

Landscape and light provide inspiration for local photographer
For June’s photography focus it’s over to Paul Wards, a keen Orkney Instagram user who has been sharing his snaps of the islands over recent years.
I have been interested in photography for many years and, having started out with a compact camera, I then took this hobby to the next level when I bought a Nikon DSLR camera.

All over Orkney you can find many possibilities to show the islands off to their full potential, with the changing of the seasons bringing new opportunities to depict different landscapes and buildings in all their glory. From the freshness and new beginnings of spring, to the harsh darkness of winter - and all days in between - there is always something happening in Orkney to give a photographer an opportunity to capture something special.
Stormy seas at Skaill in Orkney - image by Paul Wards
I enjoy all aspects of photography, in particular landscapes and seascapes. Landscapes can vary dramatically at different times of the year or just by the changing of the day, so I try to take every opportunity to capture these varying moments.
The Northern Lights over the Ring of Brodgar - image by Paul Wards
I also like to experiment with different lenses to create different effects. I also enjoy changing exposure levels to capture different subjects in their full brilliance – a great example of this is when northern lights are on show.
You can see more of Paul’s work via his Facebook page and on Instagram.
Explore uncovered Orkney
Every month we take a look at one of Orkney’s hidden attractions – for June we explore one of our smallest but most fascinating museums.
There are two types of museum. You can visit the big, beautiful structures, full of glass, modern exhibition cases and cafes. Then there are the old buildings with creaky floorboards and exhibits crammed into every available space.
Orkney excels at the later, and the Orkney Wireless Museum is one of those very special places.
The Orkney Wireless Museum in Kirkwall
The museum began in South Ronaldsay and was originally set-up to display some of the equipment used by servicemen and women in Orkney during WWII. Local folk also donated their old wireless sets as well, and the collection quickly grew.
The museum was eventually moved to Kirkwall, appropriately enough to the former radio dealership of John T Miller – some of the sets on display in the museum nowadays would have been sold by the shop in the past.
Part of the extensive collection on display at the museum
Nowadays the building is packed with nostalgia. You can browse hundreds of radios from over the years, from a 100 year old crystal set to the designs of the 1930s, right up to transistor radios from today. The museum is also full of wartime memorabilia, including displays focusing on the importance of communication across Orkney during WWII and radios from a Spitfire, U-Boat and much more.
There are plenty of wartime exhibits on show too
It’s a real trip back in time, but it also provides a hands-on experience too. An early version of famous computer game ‘Pong’ is available to play (who needs VR!) and the more experienced visitor can take a trip down memory lane by switching on and tuning a 1950s valve set too.
Some of the sets on display are from people looking for a home for their treasured old radios, others have been handed down through generations by family members.
Exhibits have been donated by local people over generations
It’s well worth heading in through the doors to one of the secret gems of Orkney’s history and heritage attractions.
Find out how you can visit the Orkney Wireless Museum via the Visit Orkney website.
Thank you for taking the time to read our latest newsletter – hopefully there has been something to inspire you to make a visit to Orkney, for a short trip or a more permanent stay.
We’re always keen to hear from you too - share your news, views and comments on the newsletter, Orkney.com and your Orkney experiences with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or E-mail.
In the meantime, it’s cheerio from Orkney, for now.

OUSA releases policy papers entitled "Ancillary & Incidental Fees" and "Student Association Autonomy"
OUSA releases policy paper "Ancillary and Incidental Fees"
TORONTO, ON - The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) is proud to release our policy paper on Ancillary & Incidental Fees, which was recently approved at our Fall General Assembly. The paper was written and ratified by students, and it provides recommendations intended to improve the structure of ancillary and incidental fees as well as the services and programs that those fees support.
"This paper is the result of careful deliberation on student affordability and agency," said Matthew Gerrits, Vice-President Education for the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association and OUSA Vice-President Finance. "It gives the government a roadmap to develop a system in which ancillary fees are accountable to students' needs and limited financial resources."
Students are concerned that the Student Choice Initiative has hurt the operations of services that students rely on for their well-being, including student associations, student-run food bank, peer support services, and equity services, and that this program was implemented without extensive consultation with a broad, diverse set of student groups. Students continue to be concerned over costly and unregulated fees for textbooks and learning materials, as well as inequitable cost-sharing between students and their institutions. There is also a lack of transparency and accountability regarding increases in ancillary fee amounts and where the proceeds of these fees are allocated.
Overarching recommendations in this policy focus on rescinding or improving the Student Choice Initiative, should the provincial government appeal the recent court decision quashing the program or implement a modified version at a later date. Recommendations also focus on creating standalone, comprehensive ancillary fee guidelines, regulating incidental fees, making learning materials more affordable, and promoting equitable cost-sharing.
"This paper provides the government with a critical analysis of affordability, autonomy, and choice,” said Niveditha Sethumadhavan, Vice President External Affairs for the Brock University Students’ Union and OUSA Steering Committee Member. “Its recommendations highlight the impacts of each of these areas on the quality of education that students receive.”
This paper was written and approved by student leaders after research and consultations with their constituents. It was passed at OUSA’s Fall General Assembly on November 3rd, 2019.
Today also marks the release of OUSA’s policy on Student Association Autonomy. This policy expresses student concerns over government intrusion onto the autonomy of student associations and post-secondary institutions, most notably through the introduction of the Student Choice Initiative. It recommends that, moving forward, the provincial government refrain from introducing legislation or regulations that infringe upon this autonomy.
OUSA represents the interests of 150,000 professional and undergraduate, full-time and part-time university students at eight student associations across Ontario. Our vision is for an accessible, affordable, accountable, and high quality post-secondary education in Ontario.

Dota 2 had more players yesterday than the rest of the Steam top ten put together
I keep forgetting that Dota 2 hasn’t been released yet. And the reason I keep forgetting is that it’s more massive in beta than any of its rivals could hope to be on launch day. Apart from League of Legends, of course. But take yesterday. If you’d rounded up all the players of the other nine games in Steam’s top ten most-played list, they still wouldn’t have matched the total boasted by Valve’s MOBA.
At its peak yesterday, Thursday May 23, Steam stats showed that 324,555 concurrent users were playing Dota. The rest of the top ten, which included Football Manager 2013, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike and Skyrim, numbered 308,609 at their respective peaks when totted up.
Dota was also bigger than the rest of the top 90 Steam games put together, which mustered 298,382 between them.
Perhaps this is why enterprising Steam users simply can’t give Dota 2 beta invites away: everybody’s already playing it. Are you part of that everybody?

Surprise! These books are hiding Easter Eggs
These books are hiding Easter eggs
Sometimes books can contain a little something extra – a secret message or inside joke. In a phrase borrowed from game design, these extras are known as ‘Easter eggs’. Here are 9 of our favourite examples.
La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One
His Dark Materials/The Book of Dust
His Dark Materials followed Lyra and Will, two characters drawn into a struggle across multiple worlds. La Belle Sauvage, the first book in Pullman’s The Book of Dust series, features a baby Lyra.
What's the easter egg?
But Lyra’s not the only familiar character in the novel – savvy readers will have spotted that her rescuer, Malcolm Polstead, made an earlier appearance in His Dark Materials…
Naomi Alderman
Alderman’s book explores the fallout of an imaginary future in which women acquire the power to hurt and kill using a new power conducted through their hands.
The book’s hardback cover features a hand in black, with silver foil to signify the power, but there’s a hidden cover under the dust jacket of the hardback edition. Here, a red foil recreation of the power surges across a matt red background.
Barnes’ novel is a fictional version of a true story: that of how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turned detective to prove the innocence of George Edalji, a man accused and convicted of mutilating livestock.
Fans of Sherlock Holmes will love this dramatisation of Conan Doyle’s real-life sleuthing exploits, which is peppered with veiled nods toward the fictional detective’s adventures.
Elizabeth is Missing
Emma Healey
Maud is forgetful, but one thing she knows for certain is that her friend Elizabeth is missing.
As Maud unravels the mystery of Elizabeth’s whereabouts, the reader is treated to beautiful illustrations at the start of every chapter, each one depicting a key object from the book.
Follow This Thread
Henry Eliot
Quibe
Follow This Thread: A Maze Book to Get Lost In
Henry Eliot, illustrated by Quite
This book looks at real and historical mazes, and how they’re used in literature, art and film. It’s illustrated with a single red line, which you can follow all the way through the book.
Sometimes the text even coils round the pages, making your journey through the book feel a lot like tackling a maze.
Charlotte Brontë: A Life
Claire Harman
Harman’s biography of Jane Eyre’s author is essential reading for Brontë fans.
It it also contains another delightful feature - a beautiful black and white map, illustrated by Caroline Harper, which depicts significant locations in Charlotte Brontë’s life, including places that featured in both her own books and her sisters.
Love, Nina
Nina Stibbe
This is a collection of letters that the author wrote while working as a nanny, and quite a few famous names pop up in it. Stibbe is nanny to Sam and Will, the sons of Mary-Kay Wilmers, editor of the London Review of Books.
Their father is filmmaker Stephen Frears, but the most enjoyable surprise appearances are from one of the Wilmers’ neighbours – the author Alan Bennett.
The Periodic Table of Feminism
Marisa Bate
Bate profiles 130 women who have played major roles in the feminist movement, from Mary Wollstonecraft to Caitlin Moran, Simone de Beauvoir to Oprah, categorizing them by which wave of the movement they belonged to, and what kind of activism they practised.

Flush Taps To Avoid Lead-Contaminated Drinking Water
Author: tendaily.com.au
A six-month-old warning to flush household taps for about 30 seconds in the morning to reduce exposure to lead in drinking water is "common sense", the government has said.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt responded to recommendations by the Environmental Health Standing Committee (enHealth) over lead poisoning concerns, released in July, that was on Sunday highlighted in media reports.
He said the material was made publicly available at the time.
"I was surprised at the time, and disappointed it wasn't given more publicity," Hunt told reporters on Sunday.
"I'm pleased that now, somewhat delayed, it has been given the prominence that I thought it should have otherwise received."
The enHealth statement -- which represents the National Health and Medical Research Council along with Commonwealth, state and territory departments -- offers a series of "precautions" to reduce exposure to lead that may be dissolving into drinking water from plumbing products.
While finding lead in water is a rare occurrence in Australia since the replacement of lead pipes with copper in the 1930s, contamination can still occur due to corrosion of old pipes that supply drinking water to buildings.
It can also dissolve into water from brass plumbing fittings in taps after long periods of contact -- and can be more risky in hot water.
READ MORE: Warning Issued For Eyeliner Containing 'Dangerous Levels of Lead'
According to the current Australian Drinking Water guidelines, the maximum level of allowable lead sits at 0.01 milligrams (or 10 micrograms) per litre. Consuming levels above that can have a negative effect on your health.
The statement warns parents that infants and children are "especially vulnerable" to lead exposure that can impair brain development.
"Infants who drink formula prepared with lead-contaminated water may be at a higher risk because of the large volume of water they consume relative to their body size," it says.
Householders are advised to use water from cold taps only for drinking and cooking, and to flush them for about 30 seconds in the morning to draw through fresh water.
There is no need for households to have their water tested, it adds.
Minister Hunt called them "precautions" that are "in many ways common sense".
"Above all else, the advice from the Chief Medical Office is clear and categorical: our water is safe and indeed some of the safest and cleanest water in the world," he said.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said the precautions were "common sense". Image: AAP
The federal government is reportedly considering new national guidelines that will reduce the permitted amount of lead in brass fittings from 4.5 percent.
Dr Paul Harvey, a Macquarie University professor whose 2016 study found lead in more than half of surveyed tap water samples in NSW, told the Daily Telegraph it was "well and truly overdue".
It comes amid a string of lead contamination woes, including a saga that plagued the construction and opening of Perth Children's Hospital.
After three years, water tested found the levels of lead to be below Australia's maximum allowance.
Earlier this year, about 30 water bubblers were turned off in Geelong and more than 140 were tested after high levels of lead were detected in the city's public drinking foundations, with plumbing materials believed to be the source.
Authorities later deemed the water supply safe.
Minister Hunt said the guidelines do not relate to a particular incident.

Packers WR Jake Kumerow on tumble into end zone: 'I'd do it again if I had a chance'
The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Jake Kumerow on injured reserve. He can return after Week 8.
Packers WR Jake Kumerow on tumble into end zone: 'I'd do it again if I had a chance' The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Jake Kumerow on injured reserve. He can return after Week 8. Check out this story on packersnews.com: https://pck.rs/2Nd5VST
Jim Owczarski, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 8:51 a.m. CT Sept. 3, 2018 | Updated 4:24 p.m. CT Sept. 3, 2018
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow (16) picks up 10 yards on a reception before being tackled by Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Morgan Burnett (42) during the second quarter of their preseason game Thursday, August 16, 2018 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. MARK HOFFMAN/MHOFFMAN@JOURNALSENTINEL.COM(Photo: Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
GREEN BAY - Late Sunday afternoon, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst insisted that his first 53-man roster was fluid. And when asked directly if there were players who could be put on injured reserve, he said, “I would like to think that all the guys we have will be playing for us sometime this season, but we’re working through a couple things right now.”
One of those things was determining that the SC joint in Jake Kumerow’s shoulder has not healed as expected following his somersault in the end zone against Pittsburgh back on Aug. 16. The Packers placed the wide receiver on injured reserve Monday morning and signed veteran linebacker Korey Toomer to fill the roster spot.
Silverstein: Credit Gutekunst for exploring Mack deal, moving on
For his part, Kumerow felt such a move would be made.
"I figured, because when they brought me on to the active I realized like, oh, that’s great, I’m on the 53, I’m pumped, I’m happy, but I thought you know, are they just going to keep me inactive until I’m healthy for like a couple of weeks?" he said in his final media availability until he comes off IR. "I figured something else was going to happen. I figured that the IR was going to be the case but I still have, according to the doctor, a couple more weeks, and you can’t overrule a doctor.”
Because the Packers made the move after the 53-man cutdown, Kumerow is eligible to return to the roster after Week 8 of the regular season.
"I just hope that when I get back healthy that the numbers work out and I’ll be able to find my way back in here,” Kumerow said.
“It feels good to have them have their eye on me on that way, knowing that I’m hurt but giving me the chance to be able to come back and have an impact on this team. It gives me a lot of confidence and it makes me feel good about going into the year.”
And as for the fateful tumble into the end zone against the Steelers that wound up being his last play to date, Kumerow said he wouldn't change a thing.
“No. I’d do it again if I had a chance," he said. "I was just trying to score, do whatever it takes."

Unique IDs on every pack?
Unique identification codes have grown increasingly omnipresent because they represent our best hope in the fight against counterfeiting of pharmaceutical products.
Pat Reynolds, VP Editor
But now there’s talk of putting a unique identifier on every packaged product found on a store shelf—from toothbrush to shampoo to tomato paste to dairy product to coffee. The goal? To make every product that a consumer encounters digitally unique and interactive.
What it all comes down to is that CPG companies see enormous opportunity in establishing direct one-to-one relationships with consumers. This represents a fundamental shift from the prevailing dynamic, where it’s been the retailers that have leveraged the latest in Information Technology tools to engage consumers and forge that all-important one-to-one relationship with them. The problem with this dynamic, from a CPG company’s perspective, is neatly summarized in a recent white paper from McKinsey & Co.: “When the retailer owns the algorithm and the data, it has more negotiating leverage over its [CPG company] suppliers. Furthermore, maintaining systems links with numerous retailer platforms could become highly complex and costly for CPG companies to manage, and it could hinder the development of their own solutions. Unless CPG manufacturers begin to shape their own solutions, they will continue to be saddled with an increasing number of reactive and expensive one-off customer IT requirements just to keep up.” So what should CPG companies do? Develop their own data aggregation solutions and tip the balance of power back in their favor, says McKinsey.
That’s where firms like Kezzler AS and Verify Corp. come in. Based in Oslo, Norway, Kezzler has developed a proprietary process for generating billions of unique encrypted codes for application by existing package coding and marking equipment. The codes can also be read and verified by the consumer using readily available devices like smartphones. But unlike more traditional brand protection tools that employ serial codes in a database, the “kezzlercode” is not stored in a database. There is no database. Instead there’s an algorithm. When a code is entered into the Kezzler system—whether scanned or entered as an alphanumeric string of characters—it’s run through a mathematical equation to determine if it was issued by Kezzler in the first place. If it was, a number of messages can be sent to the consumer—cents off, recipe ideas, complementary products that might be purchased, or “buy four and you get one free,” for example.
Because it’s a direct communication from the CPG company to the consumer, it’s a way of building brands through interactive marketing. But it also protects brands against counterfeits and improves supply chain efficiency through secure track and trace. By applying a unique encrypted identity to every package, the system can show, in real time, exactly where and when a product went awry should it go awry. Kezzler also touts its digital mass encryption system’s scalability, claiming it’s capable of orders of magnitude greater scale because it stores no serial codes, and there is no database. Rather than referencing a scanned code against a stored number, an encryption algorithm is used to verify that the code is valid. As Kezzler puts it, it’s applied mathematics, not bookkeeping.
Also looking at ways of helping CPG companies improve their consumer engagement strategies is Verify Engage. This Minneapolis-based firm offers a cloud-based solution that it calls Event Sourcing. It’s a software architecture that also relies on unique identifiers called Adaptive Codes™. Using these codes—again, they’re generated and managed by Verify Engage, imprinted on packages by conventional marking and coding equipment, and utilized by consumers via smartphone—brand owners can deliver targeted promotions while collecting rich analytics and real-time insight into when, where, and how consumers use their offer. This lets them tailor future offers based on what the consumer wants.
Adaptive Codes, kezzlercodes, Event Sourcing, encryptions, analytics, algorithms—it’s not your father’s marketing and brand loyalty program. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s the kind of thing no CPG company can afford to ignore.

Writing a journal on the front
"This is a notebook issued for the army in England. Here are my notes from my wandering to the east, from Dukla and the Slovak national Uprising. This one, this is an entry from the day when we were leaving: artillery lieutenant Jindra Vaculík, he was already the first lieutenant, ane he was my friend from the military academy and was in the transport with us....so this Jindra married some Englishwoman in the morning. And I wrote down: Jindra Vaculík married this morning - idiot! (laughing) I just could not understand how he could marry when he was going to the war."
Beaten by the interrogators
"When they became convinced that I was dissimulating, they called Pergl (the prison´s director - ed.´s note) to put me in chains. I was manacled for a day and a half. There rest of the time I was sitting in the corner, I was also hand-cuffed. Obviously, my hands were also bound all the time when Řičiča or others were beating me, with hands or with a baton. But at the time I was there, the beatings were no longer so severe. What Mirek Kácha told, for instance, about his interrogation, I did not experience it anymore. At my time, they apparently already had new Soviet methods, relying on sleep deprivation and mental exhaustion."
My first time in offensive on the eastern front at Dukla
"For the first time, I was on the front as an ammunition truck driver. This was a huge problem. The boys obviously had only what they could carry, one gun or a machine-gun and a corresponding amount of ammunition. During the attacks up there in the mountains, they always spent all their ammo in an instant. They fired very well, as far as I know, but ran out of ammunition, so what to do now! An order was given for them to retreat, but something like this is always dangerous and this time it did not turn out quite well. When I arrived with my ammo truck to the staff, there was Standa Uchytil, whom I have already known from England and from the Sokol movement, but there was only him with his close staff and a couple of soldiers. The other soldiers, whole companies, were retreating, and retreating more than they were supposed to. Instead of stopping in one place, they continued a bit further. Now, the troops had to get at least to their starting positions. "
Message to future generations
"I would like all the present-day and future generations to realize that freedom does not come without sacrifices, I say that every time all over again. The number of victims and the suffering was great. Freedom is not granted. No one can give you the guarantee that some dumb head would not come and brain wash the people, as it happened to us. Freedom has to be defended at all times. Even more so today, in the era of globalization: if freedom is being denied to people in some God forsaken country, it affects us as well. Something needs to be done, we all have to keep this in mind. And not to forget those, who fought for our freedom, defended it, and recovered it."
Interrogation and my motto "Persist!"
"At first I was not allowed to sit down, even at times when I was not being interrogated, I had to walk all the time.All day and all night. I tried to count it, it had to be over forty kilometres during one day and night in this small space. My motto was:´Persist!´I was walking from one wall to another and kept repeating to myself: perist, persist, persist! When they let me sit, I tried to mentally disengage from that environment. I was imagining things, making up my own stories, of course with fantasies including girls, too. At first I was afraid to think about my wife, it was too painful, but then you include her in your fantasies as well, and you live by imagining - what will happen when they let you go, what we will do together, what we will not do, how we will live... and I was able to imagine such things only because I managed to disengage from that environment I was in."
"Political idiocy" after 1948
"This was my own political idiocy, I acknowledge that. From the times of the First republic, I was used to being indifferent to all political matters, not thinking about it, and this was the outcome of it. Yes, this is the cost of being apolitical. None of the friends I knew from the military academy had any political ambitions whatsoever. All we were striving for was to become experts in our profession. Of course the political issues were affecting us, but we failed to realize that. Those who did realize it left the country. And I, an idiot, stayed here."
Training itself does not turn you into a dauntless soldier
"Even though you had gone through all these army drills and trainings, with real shooting, real explosions all around you, we all knew that it was only ´fake´and that they were not really shooting at you. When you get into a real combat situation, however, that´s different. You can´t tell how individual people will react. I always use the case of Vašek Kindl to illustrate this." "So you knew Václav Kindl?" asks historian Petr Koura. "I knew him, he was one of the senior officers who had gone through the French Foreign Legion at that time. He was a fine chap, he had gone through all types of paratrooper training with excellent results. But then, when things got really nasty in the combat, he was unable to bite onto a poison capsule, like Franta Závorka did, or to shoot himself, like Josef Šandera." (you can read about these soldiers in the document titled "Příběh pamětníka" or in the research room - ed.´s note)
First interrogation in 1950
"From my cell I was brought to interrogator Řičič, I was blindfolded. And then it began - speak about your illegal activities, he asked. I did not know what to speak about, so I said that I did not know about anything, which he regarded as dissimulation. The second or third day, Pergl was called, and they bound me with chains and manacled my feet. I always used to say that this was a huge progress compared to the Middle Ages, now they had manacles with cuffs, which they had not had back then!"

Freedom does not come without sacrifices. No one can give you the guarantee that some dumb head would not come and brain wash the people
Tomáš Sedláček was born on January 8th in 1918 in Vienna, he spent his childhood in Spa Toušeň. Studied Military Academy in Hranice in Moravia. Already in 1938 he served as a lieutenant in the Hradec Kralove garrison. In 1940 he escaped through the so called „Balkan“ road to France, later he was evacuated to England where he had gone through paratrooper training. In 1944, on the order of the Czech Ministry of National Defense, he was transferred to the eastern front - to Dukla and afterwards to the rear of the enemy to assist on the side of the Slovakian national uprising. After the war he had been active as a Professor at the Military Academy in Prague. In 1951 the late Major Sedláček was detained on account of an alleged conspiracy. He was tortured in the ill-known Little House in the Kapucínská Street in Prague. For nine days and nights Tomáš Sedláček was kept from sleeping, he was forced to walk all that time in the solitary cell. He was convicted to life imprisonment; he had been jailed in the prisons of Valdice, Mírov, Leopoldov, and Bytíz. After the amnesty of 1960 he worked as a mason, later as an assisstant draftsman. Tomáš Sedláček passed away on August, the 27th, 2012.

Playing with Power: An Alternative World War 2 Role Play
By Michelle Low
Michelle Low is an educator with an interdisciplinary Humanities and Social Science background who spends her time outside of lecture rooms, tweeting and blogging about gaming and pedagogy, watching gameplay, and researching and writing about Ancient Egypt Reception Studies and archaeogaming.
Imagine an alternate universe where Soviet Union, instead of Japan, bombed Pearl Harbour causing Soviet Union and United States to be at war with one another. Further complicating matters, Soviet Union agrees to either an alliance or truce with Germany, thus allowing for the territorial expansion of Nazism throughout Europe. Owing to the truce or alliance, Stalin turned a blind eye on the Holocaust. While Europe and the United States find themselves at different sides of the war, Japan remained an inactive or absent party of the war, left to develop its country, specifically its technology. Lastly, to add to the alternate universe, King T’Chala of Wakanda, yes Wakanda, an independent nation, discreetly supplied vibranium to both sides of the war.
Your task is to divide yourselves into groups of 3-4 and choose a country to represent (Soviet Union, United States, Japan or Germany) for a term. As representatives of your selected country, research and create possible scenarios for this alternate universe. Between Weeks 2-5, each country will explain their strategies and growth whilst taking note of the other three countries’ progress.
The above was the role play assignment I designed for the January 2018 World Civilisation 2 class.
Behind the Assignment
Inspired by a random evening chat with a friend, the original idea of the assignment was a class debate or discussion on World War 2. He explained that the class would be divided into the Axis and Allies who then needed to strategize or negotiate the War. As a humanities educator, in an education culture where ‘spoon-feeding’ is synonymous with ‘learning’, I was instantly drawn to the idea because of my friend’s non-history and non-academic background. He mentioned that if his history classes (in secondary school) were more interactive and hands-on, he would have been more interested and open to the idea of learning about the subject (and field). This chat made me realize that had my friend (and many others) been taught to think and challenge facts like a historian instead of being forced to memorize a string of facts to score for an exam, Malaysians would have a more positive perception of history.
Hence, prompted by the lack of ‘historical thinking’ and ‘historical imagination’ development in the Malaysian education system, and my friend’s idea, I fell into an academic rabbit hole. Though I teach at a tertiary level, my students have been nurtured in a culture where ‘spoon-feeding’ is a necessity while creativity and curiosity are heavily discouraged. Hence, using my friend’s idea as the basis, I searched for the ‘easiest’ historical event(s) which fulfilled the following conditions:
have ample of accessible sources,
would be the most familiar to the students, and
would be the most riveting to explore.
The two events which fulfilled the conditions are World War 2 and the Holocaust. However, it dawned on me that both events had already been heavily debated with a variety of suggestions and solutions posted online. Thus, neither would provide my students with the right opportunity to independently cultivate ‘historical thinking’ and ‘historical imagination’. As McCall aptly wrote in his PlaythePast article ‘The Unexamined Game is Not Worth Playing’, “if we want our students to think and challenge, we cannot only present them with valid models”.
Consequently, I focused more on the reason behind my friend’s suggestion – interactive and hands-on learning approach to ignite a sense of interest and a positive perception of history – to design a more challenging assignment. Struggling to design it, I presented the idea to my colleagues (Mathematic and English Language academics with no background in history) who pointed out that video games such as Red Alert 2 distorted World War 2 by including prism tanks (tanks which shoot laser) and the chronosphere (a teleportation machine invented by Albert Einstein, yes the E = mc2 Einstein). This then sparked a thought to add a twist to my friend’s original idea – what if I altered the roles played by some of the more integral nations involved in World War 2 and added a foreign element which I would be in control of such as Wakanda and its vibranium?
Thus, the birth of the #AlternativeFacts World War 2 Role Play.
Except, how was I, the facilitator, going to effectively measure the students’ progress of independently cultivating ‘historical thinking’ and ‘historical imagination’ whilst ensuring that they enjoyed the process of learning? Indeed there are a number of practical frameworks available including McCall’s ‘Gaming the Past’ book; however none were suitable for the educational climate my students are so accustomed to. It would be negligent and possibly malicious of me to ignore the different educational context and simply use the available frameworks which my students are more likely to fail to adapt to. Hence, without such a framework, I took the academic plunge and decided to be honest with my students. On the first day of class, I explained to them the idea including my intentions for such an unconventional assignment and my uncertainty of the effectiveness of the assignment. Their immediate reactions ranged from excited to nervous and unsure because they had never worked on such an assignment and some could not see how such an unconventional assignment would help them learn about “dead people and old things”. However, I think it was because of my honesty that the students were ultimately persuaded to give the assignment a chance, especially because this idea would provide them with the opportunity to learn at their own pace.
The #AlternativeFacts World War 2 Outcome
What stood out for me most was the class’ general consensus to achieve a peaceful outcome instead of a full-blown war with an obvious winner and loser. The first hint of a peaceful outcome was the lack of an active reaction by USA when Soviet Union bombed Pearl Harbour. The former had initially prepared for a battle to occur but consequently decided to form an economic alliance with Japan and Soviet Union, which resembled the Lend-Lease Act 1941. This unlikely decision stemmed from a severe distrust towards Germany. The second hint of a peaceful outcome was Germany’s decision to overthrow Hitler and reestablish the Kaiserreich with Wilhelm III as the Head of State. This decision led to the cessation of Nazism in Europe and the inclusion of the Jews as German citizens. Moreover, Germany created the Crown Pact which would serve as the bedrock for a future European Alliance – an alliance which would mirror the existing European Union. Interestingly, the other three groups saw this Pact as Germany’s way of expanding their influence throughout Europe thus threatening the safety and sovereignty of Soviet Union and Japan’s opportunity to colonize Asia. Hence, the economic pact between USA, Japan and Soviet Union evolved into a peace alliance; Foedere Pacis Alliance. In a surprising turn of events, I saw the class divide itself into a three-against-one scenario with USA and Soviet Union on the same side.
Unfortunately, the introduction of Wakanda and vibranium seemed redundant as I did not allow for Wakanda to be an active participant of the war and owing to the nature of vibranium – its ability to absorb and release energy as a form of defensive mechanism, vibranium tanks and bullets (a vibranium frisbee-like shield akin to Marvel’s Captain America’s shield was proposed but I rejected it because it defied one of the conditions of the assignment which was the exclusion of superheroes) became expendable because neither side could win any of the battles if everyone had access to vibranium.
Hence, after four and a half weeks of battling, the four nations unanimously decided against the idea of a full blown war because of the uselessness of vibranium weapons and primarily because they were rather adamant on obtaining a peaceful outcome. Evidently, they were not allowed to simply declare peace but had to effectively negotiate how all four nations came to a peaceful conclusion. The negotiation saw the dissolution of the European Alliance, Germany joining the Foedere Pacis Alliance, decolonization of Asia, and either the melting of all weaponry or the return of all vibranium weapons to Wakanda.
Personal Observation and Students’ Feedback
Within the span of four weeks, I observed the students transition from students working on an assignment to a class fully immersed in their fictional roles as Soviet Union, Japan, USA and Germany. Each group went from trying to meet the grading requirements of updating their padlets – an online post it wall website – on time to seizing any opportunity to discuss with me their ideas and plans to asking for an additional week because they wanted to actively figure out how they could negotiate a peaceful ending.
On the final day of the assignment, I asked them for their constructive feedback about the assignment. One of the feedbacks was to create a more definite checklist and guideline for each country or group, and that the checklist should include contradictory motives such as country A must form an alliance with country B but country B can form an alliance with any country but country A. Another feedback was that the assignment should be prolonged as it would give them the opportunity to properly experience the role play and imagine how other possible outcomes would have played out. On a personal level, the following feedbacks are even more important because it showed that the students had developed historical thinking and imagination. These feedbacks include finally understanding why certain historical events unfolded as they did, why countries do not go to war at the sight of a challenge, and how difficult it was and is to manage a country, let alone collaborate with other nations. Lastly, the students agreed that they finally realized that history can be engaging and relevant mainly because they were allowed to be in control of their learning process.
Hence, despite having to create the practical framework as the assignment progressed, the above-mentioned feedbacks proved that my friend’s original idea and reason stand true: that if students are given the opportunity to be more interactive and hands-on with their learning process, they would be inclined to learn more about the subject (and field). In conclusion, the assignment was effective at allowing my students to independently cultivate ‘historical thinking’ and ‘historical imagination’ whilst having fun learning about history. Hence, I intend and have in fact, finished another round of role play with another history class – this time focused on Ptolemaic Egypt – and am also in the midst of designing another to focus on the French Revolution, all of which I will continue to journal on my personal blog: The Humanities Educator and publish on ‘PlaythePast’ in the near future.

Spectra Precision Boosts Accuracy of Infrastructure Locator
KEYWORDS Ground penetrating radar (GPR)
InfraRadar, an advanced mobile ground penetrating radar infrastructure locator developed and manufactured in The Netherlands by GT Frontline, recently switched to the Spectra Precision SP80 GNSS receiver. As company president Dick van der Roest said, “This was done because you cannot do a good survey without a good position, and the SP80 performs significantly better than competing systems.”
The InfraRadar, integrated with the SP80, is used to map underground infrastructures, including pipes, conduits and cables, as well as archeological or geological features, and unexploded ordinance. According to van der Roest, a significant number of GT Frontline customers require centimeter-level accuracy at X, Y and Z, which the SP80 achieves — even under tree canopy and urban environments with significant multipath. The SP80, which offers excellent communication options, transmits its NMEA, GGA, GSA and GST string data to the InfraRadar via a Bluetooth connection.
A recent project requiring centimeter accuracy involved replacing valves and parts on an underground high-pressure gas pipeline system. The pipeline owner employs a 3-D building information modeling (BIM) system to design and build the replacement parts that are pre-fabricated off-site to be later installed on location. To accurately build the model, the BIM requires centimeter-accurate data on the exact location of the pipeline, the fittings to be replaced, and all third-party pipes and cables in the vicinity. BIM and prefabrication are an efficient maintenance and parts replacement method. However, the required centimeter-level data accuracy is challenging but necessary, as installation adjustments on site are limited to a maximum of two centimeters. To collect the data, the mobile InfraRadar GPR, with integrated SP80, was deployed in a very dense grid to survey the existing layout. Using the centimeter-level accurate data acquired through the InfraRadar with the SP80 GNSS, the pipeline owner was able to prefabricate precisely the replacement parts offsite, transfer them onsite, and successfully install the replacements on the pipeline.
About the SP80 GNSS Receiver
The SP80 GNSS receiver uses Z-Blade processing technology running on a next generation Spectra Precision 240-channel 6G ASIC that fully uses all six GNSS systems: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS. The unique GNSS-centric capability optimally combines GNSS signals without dependency on any specific GNSS system; allowing operations in GLONASS-only or BeiDou-only mode if needed. SP80 also has a unique combination of communication technologies including an integrated 3.5G GSM/UMTS modem, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity, and optional internal UHF transmit radio. The cellular modem may be used for SMS (text message) and e-mail alerts as well as regular Internet or VRS connectivity. The SP80 can also connect to the Internet from the field using Wi-Fi hotspots, where available.
About GT Frontline

Force-Feeding Approved for CA Hunger Strikers
by MIM(Prisons) August 2013 permalink
19 August 2013 - Today, a federal court approved the force-feeding of people who are on hunger strike in California prisons to protest torture in the form of long-term isolation and group punishment. The force-feeding itself is considered torture by many, including those who have been on hunger strike in Guantanamo Bay since February and have been suffering through force-feeding for months.
For those interested in why it is considered torture, Yasiin Bey bravely provided the world with a video of what that is like (click picture).
The decision in California came shortly after we posted a report from a comrade who was denied liquid supplements and collapsed on July 21 in Corcoran State Prison. Many others have collapsed since then, and the state's behavior has made it clear that the health of prisoners has not been a concern of theirs. They apply very strict rules to how they count people as being on "hunger strike," knowing that strikers depend on the state to report their numbers to the public, forcing them to abide by these rules that don't allow for any electrolytes.
The state has consistently used health care as a weapon to manipulate prisoners into submission, rather than act as the custodians of health and safety that they claim to be. Now that strikers are approaching life-threatening conditions, the CDCR is acting to prevent them from exercising one of the strongest forms of protest that they have from within these isolation cells. The attention given to the situation inside California prisons right now is already unprecedented and they fear that if more prisoners die they may lose their power to torture prisoners in the future. The torture is important to them because it is what they believe to be their best tool to prevent the oppressed from fighting their oppression (the injustice system's true purpose). The ongoing hunger strike, decades in the making, has begun to turn the tables on that idea though.
This recent report asserts that 70 of 130 prisoners currently on hunger strike have been going since July 8, 2013. There are a number of groups of prisoners in California who are ready to restart hunger strike in support of the 70 (or more) who are in it for the long haul as the struggle heightens.
In the months leading up to July 8, there was some debate about the return to the hunger strike tactic, particularly as previous attempts were aborted prematurely without any changes from the state. But those first two strikes resonated among the oppressed across the country, and particularly in California where 30,000 prisoners stood up against long-term isolation on July 8, 2013. As we approach 50 days on strike, and repeated assertions from participants that they will not stop for mere promises this time, this struggle is approaching a crucial point. To date, control units have been a fairly effective tool of repression. But if oppression breeds resistance, then even these tools of total control can be overcome. At no other point have we been closer to that goal than we are right now. Those who have and will give their lives for this struggle must not die in vain. Those 30,000 plus prisoners who supported this campaign must take every opportunity over the coming months to build, educate and organize to prepare for the next phase of this struggle. A failure to seize this moment in the prison movement will mean much more suffering for the imprisoned lumpen in the decades to come.

California seeks small grower information for FSMA compliance
Jul 26, 2019 by Chris Koger #Produce Crops, #California, #Food safety, #FDA, #FSMA
( Courtesy FDA )
The California Department of Food and Agriculture is alerting 8,000 growers designated as “small/very small” by the Food Safety Modernization Act of their obligations to follow the law, and when those obligations start.
The CDFA is mailing letters with surveys to determine what commodities they grow, if they qualify for exemptions, and to prioritize future inspections, according to a CDFA news release. Surveys are due by Aug. 31.
The letters focus on the FSMA’s Produce Safety Rule, which has staggered compliance dates based on annual sales. Starting in April, CDFA inspectors have been visiting “large” farms, which have annual sales of more than $500,000 (based on an average of the past three years).
“Small” operations, with produce sales of $250,000-$500,000 are supposed to be in compliance with the Produce Safety Rule now, but CDFA inspections don’t start until January. “Very small” growers, whose sales are $25,000-$250,000, must be in general compliance in January, with inspections starting in January 2021.
Those compliance dates are in effect with produce growers throughout the country, but California has 20,000 growers who will need to comply with the Produce Safety Rule, far more than any other state, CDFA Secretary Karen Ross said in the release.
“Our role is to educate California produce farmers on how to comply with the requirements of the (Produce Safety Rule) and then regulate farms to ensure that they are compliant,” according to the CDFA letter to growers. “Our vision is safe produce through 100% compliance with the law.”
The CDFA created the Produce Safety Program to educate growers and conduct inspections on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration, which oversees the FSMA regulations.
The FDA has an “Educate Then Regulate” commitment, according to the CDFA release, and minor violations will be handled with on-site education. Issues that threaten consumer food safety, however, will be handled with varying degrees of enforcement, up to seizing tainted produce, according to the release.

To once again be honored by them strengthens our resolve to stay true to our mission and to our community.”
This year’s competition was co-presented by the Nelson Family of Companies, Exchange Bank, Kaiser Permanente, and the Trope Group.

Living with HIV and Learning to be a Leader
Iris C F Gomes
The NGO Human Touch held its first three day leadership camp for adolescents with HIV from the 12th to the 14th November at Zogati Nature Farm, Bhirondem, Valpoi. Since 2009 the NGO has held two camps every year to empower youth living with HIV. Past camps have included younger children, but this camp was special in its concentration on teenagers, the reason being the unique problems faced by these young people.
CEO of Human Touch, Peter Borges, says ‘They want to be like normal kids with dating and relationships but sometimes are not fully informed about HIV. Only when they grow up do they realise the implications.’ There are two common hurdles faced by these teens: when they get into a relationship they often do not inform their partner of their HIV status, which could lead to complications; and although they are as bright and intelligent as any other young person, there is a tendency to psychologically succumb to the stigma attached to their condition. There is always the fear of whether society will accept them and allow them to build a career for themselves.
For these reasons, specific sessions were organised to help adolescents with HIV to counter stress and anger related issues which arise from the awareness of having to live with the virus from birth, as well as other day to day situations. Understanding their sexuality, analysing their skills and guiding them towards a profession that suits their abilities, were other areas covered by the camp. ‘It becomes difficult for them to work for others, so self-employment is encouraged,’ says Peter, lamenting the prejudice mounted against the HIV+ youth by society, when they have contracted HIV through no fault of their own. Recalling the Rivona furore, Peter cautions that even educated persons such as doctors have discriminated against infected children and thus the general public cannot be expected to react differently.
The camp has been successful in creating a bond between these children, besides, ‘issues have been identified and personalised plans have been mapped out for each individual teen,’ says Peter.
The camp saw a slew of sessions with Pravin Sabnis engaging the youngsters in a motivational session and Fr Allan Tavares dealing with anger management. Waman Gaitonde handled career and stress management, while Basil Fernandes took on failure management. Jervis Pereira helped the teens identify their skills and opportunities for employment, Rajendra Kerkar spoke on the environment and Roland Martins expounded the details of civic responsibility and consumer rights. Satish Naik from the Association of Friends of Astronomy, Cynthia Andrade (gender and relationships) and Mrudul Naik (sexuality and reproductive health) made up the rest of the facilitators and resource persons.
The volunteers who gave their valuable time to make this camp a success are Kavita Salelkar, Maitab Pathan, Rama Gaonkar, Riffa Ferrao, Venancio Rodrigues, Jessica Pereira, Sheras Fernandes, Archie Fernandes, Dadu Bandekar, Aprajita Mandrekar and Yasin Kalagar.
The coordinator of the camp, Ashwini Naik, has a Master of Social Work degree from Don Bosco College, Panaji. She holds the position of project manager with Positive People and she is the vice president of Human Touch. This is the third camp she has coordinated in the area of HIV. The earlier camps involved infected and affected children, but this one had only infected adolescents. She says, ‘It was a different experience altogether with the concentration on emotional connect and intellectual connect in this camp… Most of these children have low self-esteem, no confidence and are not focused. It is necessary for us to understand their needs to plan out future programmes and camps. The camps are a platform for them and us to build a connection.’
The next initiative to be taken up is having support meetings for these youngsters in the same manner that adult HIV patients have meetings. There are 280 children being treated at the Goa Medical College, but just 80-100 are linked with Human Touch. A line list is going to be prepared for North and South Goa, identifying adolescents with HIV. These meetings will help the young people to focus on their health and career.
Though fund raising can be a trial, with very few people and companies (as part of CSR) coming forward to donate money, it is not the worst of the NGO’s problems. Mobilising young people to join these camps and reap the benefits is becoming a difficult task. Numbers for this particular camp kept dropping from an estimated 35-40 until 23 participants remained. Many of the participants are in the 10th and 12th standards and this may have to some extent limited the numbers.
The camp culminated with celebrating Children’s Day through a cultural programme presented by the young people. The day saw some lively dancing, singing, and the telling of jokes and riddles. Chief Guest Mrs Teresa Andrade, who is the leader of the local Panchayat, exhorted the teenagers to see themselves as no less than the future of tomorrow. The camp ended on an optimistic note with hope for the future written in these adolescents’ eyes and souls.

QualityHealth Home > How to Protect Yourself From Health Scams
How to Protect Yourself From Health Scams
By Joanne Van Zuidam
From Acai berries to apricot pits, there have been many purported cures for what ails us.
Things haven't changed much since the snake oil salesmen of the 1800s, says Marc I. Leavey, MD, of Lutherville, MD. Shady products are still being marketed based on our fears, anxieties, and the desire to do the best for our families.
Of course you want the best, safest, most effective treatment available to help manage a health condition. But how do you sidestep a scam? Awareness and a bit of research.
3 Common Health Scams
1. Weight loss products. Weight loss products are legion, says Leavey. While some may just lighten your wallet, others may prove deadly. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled more than 40 products marketed for weight loss due to potentially harmful ingredients.
2. Sexual enhancement products. All-natural alternatives to treat erectile dysfunction may contain ingredients not listed on their labels. Such misinformation can lead to drug interactions.
3. Cures for diseases. Cancer, diabetes, arthritis, high cholesterol, even a sluggish metabolism—if the condition doesn't have a solid treatment protocol, Leavey says the more likely unscrupulous people will clamor on and say they can treat it with a secret remedy.
Telltale Signs of a Scam
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, says Leavey. That breakthrough remedy that the medical establishment doesn't want you to know about? Run away. He points out: Why would a legitimate business turn down the opportunity to make millions of dollars?
Beyond secret formulas, there are buzzwords that lend a clue that a product is fraudulent. Here are nine red flags from the FDA:
Cure all!
Quick fix!
Ancient remedy!
Revolutionary!
My tumor shrunk!
Lose weight!
Also take heed if a statement reads, "The FDA has not evaluated the safety of this product."
The FDA has no regulatory power over supplements-only medicines. "Therefore, someone can market anything as a supplement, make any claims they want, and won't be breaking the law. That's because they're not saying it's a medicine, they're saying it's a supplement," explains Leavey. The problem is, these products may have adverse effects—especially if you're on legitimate medication.
Take the dietary supplement red yeast rice, for example. The extract has been widely marketed to treat cholesterol, and it does—it has about half the prescription level of lovastatin, which is a statin. But it's a supplement, and chances are, if you're taking it and you didn't tell your doctor, who might have already prescribed for you a statin to control cholesterol, you run the risk of a problematic drug interaction.
How to Avoid Health Scams
If a product makes a claim, you want to see proof, says Leavey. And that proof should not be a testimonial.
You want to see controlled studies that are published in legitimate peer-reviewed journals (Journal of the American Medical Association or Lancet, for example). But even then, it's not so easy. Some companies may lie. They'll tell you there's an article to support their claims, or they'll cite celebrities who are endorsing the product when in fact no such endorsement or articles exist.
The takeaway: You can't take these claims at face value. If you're really serious about taking that supplement or trying that remedy, you have to take it upon yourself to see if it's legitimate. And the best way to do so is to ask your doctor. She has access to materials to prove (or disprove) those claims.

Accuser No. 11: Adult film star Jessica Drake says Trump offered to pay her $10K for sex
On Saturday’s AM Joy with Joy Reid, powerhouse attorney and victims’ rights advocate Gloria Allred announced that she would be holding a press conference later in the day to present another woman — this will make 11 — who accuses Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of sexual assault.
The press conference begins at 5 p.m. Eastern time, 2 p.m. Pacific.
UPDATE: The new accuser has been identified as adult performer Jessica Drake.
New woman accusing #DonaldTrump of sexual misconduct is Jessica Drake. Stepped forward with lawyer @GloriaAllred pic.twitter.com/eB6gVxZ3zT
— NancyDillonNYDN (@NancyDillonNYDN) October 22, 2016
UPDATE (5:16 p.m. Eastern): Drake said that she met Trump at a golf tournament and that he asked her up to his room. He pressured her to have sex with him and offered her $10,000 and the use of his private jet to have sex with him, which she declined.
Watch video of the press conference, embedded below:
Vietnamese women strive to clear war-era mines
Inching across a field littered with Vietnam war-era bombs, Ngoc leads an all-women demining team clearing unexploded ordnance that has killed tens of thousands of people -- including her uncle.
"He died in an explosion. I was haunted by memories of him," Le Thi Bich Ngoc tells AFP as she oversees the controlled detonation of a cluster bomb found in a sealed-off site in central Quang Tri province.
More than 6.1 million hectares of land in Vietnam remain blanketed by unexploded munitions -- mainly dropped by US bombers -- decades after the war ended in 1975.
At least 40,000 Vietnamese have since died in related accidents. Victims are often farmers who accidentally trigger explosions, people salvaging scrap metal, or children who mistake bomblets for toys.
Chief Justice John Roberts issues New Year’s Eve warning to stand up for democracy
Sarah Toce, The New Civil Rights Movement
In a progressive welcoming move, Chief Justice John Roberts issued his New Year's Eve annual report urging his fellow federal judges to stand up for democracy.
"In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the public's need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital," he wrote. "We should celebrate our strong and independent judiciary, a key source of national unity and stability."
Trump’s next 100 days will dictate whether he can be re-elected or not — here’s why
Tom Boggioni
According to CNN pollster-in-residence Harry Enten, Donald Trump's next 100 days -- which could include an impeachment trial in the Senate -- will hold the key to whether he will remain president in 2020.
As Eten explains in a column for CNN, "His [Trump's] approval rating has been consistently low during his first term. Yet his supporters could always point out that approval ratings before an election year have not historically been correlated with reelection success. But by mid-March of an election year, approval ratings, though, become more predictive. Presidents with low approval ratings in mid-March of an election year tend to lose, while those with strong approval ratings tend to win in blowouts and those with middling approval ratings usually win by small margins."

Home Travel Guides Delta Guide 2012 Guatemala City, Guatemala
Guatemala City, Guatemala
This article originally appeared in Delta Air Lines’ 2012 Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America Travel Guide. It has been extracted from its original format. To read the full travel guide, visit the digital edition.
The front door to this Tennessee-size country is Guatemala City, a cosmopolitan capital that is well-endowed with fine hotels—Real InterContinental, for one—and good restaurants—we like the traditional dishes at Kacao—excellent museums, a lively nightlife, new shopping centers and traditional markets. Some of the city’s most impressive buildings, such as the National Palace, border the Parque Central, and the capital’s most commanding religious building is the neo-classic Metropolitan Cathedral. The prettiest of church interiors, however, are those of La Merced and San Francisco. And there is a trio of must-see museums in town: the National Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology; the Ixchel Museum, which honors the country’s weaving traditions; and the Popol Vuh Museum, whose artifacts cover Guatemalan civilization from the pre-classic period to the colonial era. Then go to the upscale neighborhood called Zona Viva where many of the old mansions now house art galleries showcasing works by contemporary Guatemalan artists, as well as boutiques that draw on native excellence in weaving, embroidery and jewelry-making.
Almost any day excursion from the capital is to a destination worthy of a longer stay. Just 30 miles away is Antigua, a picture-perfect colonial city and UNESCO World Heritage site, full of 16th and 17th century cathedrals, convents and historic mansions, many converted to elegant little inns. Two hours beyond is gorgeous Lake Atitlan, framed by three volcanoes, its shoreline fringed by Mayan villages known for their traditional dress and skilled artisans. Day-tripping from the capital to the famous highland market town of Chichicastenango is best on Thursday or Sunday when vendors from all over the region set up their stalls around Santo Tomas Church. But you’ll have to take an hour-long flight to reach Tikal, the granddaddy of Mayan ceremonial cities.
Best time to go:
November to May, and anytime there is a major traditional festival (say: Easter in Antigua)
The resplendent quetzal, whose feathers provided headdresses for Mayan kings, is Guatemala’s national bird
Delta flies from Atlanta and Los Angeles to Guatemala City
Entry documents:
Valid passport, valid for at least six months beyond arrival
Must-try local food:
Pastel de tres leches (three milks cake), wonderfully light, moist vanilla cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream
Best buys:
Colorful textiles, weavings, embroidery, tablecloths, bedspreads, wooden masks, leather goods, and carved jade

DETROIT THEN AND NOW....
Posted by Retro Kimmer at 11:19 PM No comments:
DETROIT MAFIA: GIOVANNI VITALE
Giovanni "John" Vitale (1869-1920) was a boss of the Detroit Crime Family.
Mount Olivet Cemetery
Plot: Section: 53, Tier: 7, Grave Lot: 168
Best recognized as the leader of one of two factions which battled mercilessly for control of Detroit's underworld just after the advent of prohibition, John Vitale's career actually began more than a decade before the outbreak of the bloodiest chapter in the history of the motor city mafia.
Vitale entered the liquor business during the first decade of the 20th century as a partner of Sam Cipriano, Joseph Stefano and a trio of grocer brothers from Wyandotte by the name of Gianolla. The newly formed liquor combine soon found itself competing with the most powerful Italian criminal combine in the Detroit area headed by Salvatore and Vito Adamo.
Vitale and his partners became the prime competitors for the Adamo's who in an effort to maintain a distinct advantage over the upstart liquor dealers began giving away free ice with deliveries of their beer and other alcoholic beverages. Unable "at the time," to compete with the deep pockets of the Adamos, Tony and Sam Gianolla devised a plan to rid themselves of the only thing standing between them and total dominance of not only the liquor market but all other criminal fields in the Italian colony of Detroit.
While the Adamo and Gianolla brothers fought an old world feud, Vitale, Cipriano and Stefano continued to conduct their business from a store on Rivard and Congress streets. With the elimination of the Adamo brothers and the ascent of Sam and Tony Gianolla to the top of the Italian criminal community, John Vitale concentrated on building a fortune for his lucrative and expanding liquor business.

Mafia Nick Names
Giovanni Vitale was a former Organized Crime figure and once a boss of one of Detroit's first Mafia families. He was born in Cisini, Sicily on Saturday June the 24th 1876. In 1903 he emigrated to Detroit USA, then four years later he returned to Sicily and afterwards back to Detroit permanently in 1910. He was best recognized as the leader of one two factions which battled mercilessly for control of the criminal underworld of Detroit just after the introduction of Prohibition.
His career actually started more than a decade before the outbreak of what would be known as the bloodiest chapter in the history of the Mafia in Detroit. He entered the liquor business during the first decade of the first century as a partner of Salvatore (Sam) Cipriano; Joseph Stefano and a three brothers by the name of Giannola.
The newly formed liquor combine soon found itself competing with the most powerful Italian organized crime faction in Detroit, under the control of Salvatore and Vito Adamo. Vitale and his partners were the prime competitors to the Adamos, who in an effort to maintain a distinct advantage over their liquor business started giving away free ice with all deliveries of their own beer and other alcoholic drinks, but were still unable at that time to compete with the deep pockets of the Adamos So Antonino and
Salvatore Giannola devised a plan to do away with the Adamos as they were standing between them and total dominance of not only the liquor market but also other rackets in the Italian section of Detroit. Whilst the Giannolas and the Adamos fought a long feud, Giovanni Vitale, Salvatore Cipriano, and Giuseppe (Joseph) Stefano* continued to conduct their business from a store on Rivard and Congress Streets, Detroit.
Eventually the Adamo brothers were eliminated and Vitale Cipriano and Stefano ascended to the apex of the Italian organized crime community. Giovanni concentrated all his efforts on building a vast fortune for his lucrative and fast expanding liquor business. After a certain time the Giannolas started to grow in power and Vitale was counted upon as one of their most important lieutenants.
The partnership between them was to continue for a short time, but this was soon changed when a business dispute between the Giannolas and Pietro Bosco ended with Bosco's death, at the hand of Giannola gunmen. This murder sparked ill feelings between Vitale and the Giannola brothers and eventually triggered off the Giannola/Vitale Gang War.

My pal Detroit Jack just sent me a copy of his much anticipated film/DVD set " Doggy Days Live LA to Tokyo... Features video of my friends The DoGs playing live. I watched the entire DVD and LOVED it!
Originally arising out of the Detroit rock revolution that erupted with THE STOOGES and MC5, then migrating to LA in the late 70's, THE DOGS have influenced punk while treading right along with the scene. During the 70's they opened for punk and hard rock notables including MC5, TELEVISION, THE DICTATORS, KISS and AC/DC!
THE DOGS have continued to play shows throughout the decades, even releasing new material on the Dionysus label in 2003. Most recently the band has been celebrated with an international tribute album and a new DVD set produced by Detroit Jack.

MIKE McCOURT MEMORIAL CONCERT
Hey Everybody,
Our friend and fellow musician, music store owner Mike McCourt lost his battle with cancer this year and we all said when the time was right we'd get together to celebrate his life the only way we know how.
So, we're getting together at Callahan's with Stewart Franke, Honky Dory, Funhouse, Tea Bag and of course, my band SEE Dick RUN to raise a little dough for Mike's wife and kids just before the holidays.

THE DOGS have continued to play shows throughout the decades, even releasing new material on the Dionysus label in 2003. Most recently the band has been celebrated with an international tribute album with bands culled by Detroit Jack.
From Loren Molinare:
Thanks for thinking of me to pick some videos. This was fun . I will check in with you from the UK...
1. MC-5 Looking at You
Always loved this song from the Back in the USA LP and this performance backs up what I felt and heard back in 1970 and made me believe in the power in rock and roll from this earth-shattering band.
2. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles- You really got a hold on Me
This song holds a special place in my heart, one of the Motown classics, even though The Beatles version is really cool. The Miracles version reminds of my 7th grade crush on a girl named Diane who broke my heart.
3. The Kinks-Till the end of the Day!
Ah yes to be in 8th grade again and living in Michigan and looking out the window daydreaming about Ray Davies and the Kinks and wanting to go to the UK. The Kinks more than the Beatles made me want to pick up and guitar and rebel against my parents.
Ray Davies is one of the most profile and timeless writers from the mid 60’s British invasion.
MICHAEL JACKSON DOCTOR GOING TO JAIL
Convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years imprisonment. Doubtful if he spends 2 years... It is hard to believe this "doctor" got such a slap on the wrist...

THE JFK ASSASSINATION: 48 YEARS AGO TODAY
It has been 48 years since President John F Kennedy was killed. I was in the second grade. My school was just a 3 room school house. The principal came room to room and the lead us to our school buses. We had 1 hour before school was over so we were happy to leave early. We had no idea why we were being sent home.... Will never forget that day.
I found an article that is very good about the JFK Assassination and on this 48th anniversary of that horrific day... I think this author's insight is pretty good. RK
LBJ being swore in with Jackie in her blood stained suit
The Kennedy
By John McAdams
**"He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights . . . . It's — it had to be some silly little Communist." — Jackie Kennedy, on hearing that a leftist had been arrested for her husband's murder.**
It's the most controversial case in modern American history. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill John Kennedy by himself, or did a conspiracy do it? And if a conspiracy did it, did the conspiracy include Oswald?
If you are like most Americans, you believe that a conspiracy killed Kennedy. And if you are like most Americans, you have heard a vast number of bogus factoids about the case.
This web site is dedicated to debunking the mass of misinformation and disinformation surrounding the murder of JFK. If you are believer in Oswald as a lone gunman, you are likely to enjoy this web site, since most of that misinformation and disinformation has come from conspiracists. But if you are a sophisticated conspiracist, you likely understand that the mass of silly nonsense in conspiracy books and documentaries does no service to the cause of truth in the assassination, and simply buries the "case for conspiracy" under layers of bunk.
Regardless of what you believe, several web sites, mostly conspiracy-oriented are worth checking out. And you may also want to check out my list of recommended books on the assassination.
What sort of evidence is there?

HEATHER HARRIS: NIAGARA DESTROY ALL MONSTERS RETROSPECTIVE
Guest Post by Photographer Heather Harris: Read Her Story Here
See Story Featuring DAM DRUMMER ROB KING...
From November 19, 2011 through Jan. 7, 2011, Prism Gallery presents RETURN OF THE REPRESSED: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS presents a retrospective of Destroy All Monsters, the art collective who became the beloved Detroit band (which also boasted Ron Asheton of The Stooges and Mike Davis of the MC5.)
The 1973-77 art work of Niagara, Jim Shaw, Cary Loren and Mike Kelley is featured in a show curated by the latter and Dan Nadel, with hundreds of fascinating offerings influenced by Japanese monster films, dada assemblage, xerography and pop art which in turn influenced the oncoming onslaught of punk rock graphics.
The ever intriguing and beautiful Niagara seemed especially ebullient at the well-attended art opening on the 19th,seen here photographed by Heather Harris who commented, "Jack Black was there but I was enjoying the show too much to go headhunting."

Biography on the Miller twins with DAM
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS as the Miller Brothers experienced it was an odd merging of two local Ann Arbor bands. In the spring of 1977, original founders of DAM, Cary Loren and Niagara, began dropping in on EMPOOL rehearsals and request we work on their own songs -- garage punk.
NOTE: EMPOOL was a psychedelic free improvisation band I lead. Eventually this imposition took hold and a loose knit hybrid group began to form. My use of various FX pedals gave me the slightly embarrassing tag as"space guitar", which soon developed into straight-ahead rhythm guitar as Cary left the group -- having left due to personal differences -- in summer 1977.
Ben’s free-form alto sax playing, also run thru various electronics, became more traditional as well. By the time Cary left, both Michael Davis and Ron Asheton had joined the band, honing a heavier metal-punk sound. We began opening up for the likes of Pere Ubu, The Ramones, and Devo to name a few.
Essentially it was one big party. In fact, the difference between a rehearsal and a party was marginal. Due to creative differences, Ben and I chose to leave the band shortly after completing DAM's second single in October 1978.
There were two other songs recorded during that last session, ones both Ben and I penned, which remain in “the can” to this day. BROKEN MIRRORS and TAKEN FOR GRANITE. Ben and I were asked back into the band in 1983 for two reunion shows with the group at Second Chance, in Ann Arbor. It didn't stick for us, and that was it. Laurence Miller

DETROIT RUMRUNNERS AND THE MOB
RK at one of the Wyandotte Cemeterys
Wyandotte, MI holds the Guinness World Record for having the most speakeasys/bars/taverns and churches thus bringing in many theatrical characters as the Three Stooges and The Marx Brothers. The Wyandotte Theater is the venue where they came to perform back in the day.
Wyandotte Theater
Metal Sculpture of the Crucifix
There is a cemetery in Wyandotte that is known to have members of the Purple Gang and assorted victims of the prohibition era buried there. Took a little trip to see this cemetery today and we found it difficult to navigate with the map we had from the local Museum... So I shot photos of things that we found interesting..
The Marx family owned the big brewery in town and were innovative enough to conceive (curved) oval glass for bay windows as well as commercial buildings.
The Gianolla-Adamo War
Between 1912-13, the Gianolla brothers took over the Wyandotte area rackets gang starting a feud with Wyandotte Mafia boss Vito Adamo. The Gianolla brothers felt they had secured victory in Wyandotte after a series of attacks on the Adamo gang, which left several Adamo gang members dead. Adamo took refuge in Detroit and aligned himself with Mafia leader Pietro Mirabile, while the Gianolla's set their sites on the Little Italy rackets, mainly the illicit beer trade.
The Adamo's had deep pockets and were able to fend off the Gianolla's first attempts to take over the beer rackets by giving away free ice with their deliveries. Next the Adamo gang retaliated leaving two Gianolla gang members William Catalano and John Jervaso dead in April 1913.
These killings were followed by a string of killings and arrests of both sides. Even with the involvement of the authorities the feud continued as the main objective of the Gianolla brothers was the elimination of the Adamo brothers.
The beatings, stabbings and shootings stopped temporarily when Vito Adamo and two associates were put on trial for the August 1913 murder of Tony Gianolla's top aide Carlo Callego. Shortly thereafter an attempt was made on the life of Tony Gianolla himself.
More than likely the attempt on Tony Gianolla's life demonstrated the urgency the Gianolla's felt in regards to the elimination of the Adamo brothers. In the latter part of 1913 the Gianolla's struck indirectly at the Adamo's with the elimination of their associate and adviser Ferdinand Palma, a former Detroit detective turned bank owner and racketeer. The era of the Adamo brothers ended in November 1913 when both Vito, 34 and Sam Adamo, 32, were gunned down by shooters near their home.
The Gianolla gang would now reign supreme for roughly the next 4–5 years as the dominant Italian crime group in Detroit. The Gianolla gang controlled the most lucrative rackets within Detroit's Italian underworld and the gang would spawn the career of some of the most notable crime figures in Detroit history.
Top members of the gang who would go on to lead the Detroit Mafia and rule the local underworld included John Vitale, Salvatore Catalanotte, Angelo Meli, William Tocco, Joseph Zerilli, Leonardo "Black Leo" Cellura, Joseph Zerilli, Angelo Polizzi and a host of other well known area mafiosi. Tony Gianolla remained the top leader of the gang running his operations from his base in Wyandotte. Over the years his younger brother Sam had secured his reputation as a tough enforcer who led a group of killers, while Gaetano remained the adviser of the group.
An excerpt for The Purples Book:
“So how did it start,” they all want to know. Then, before you can answer: “Didn’t it all start at the Cream of Michigan? On that night when the ghost of Joe Bernstein walked into the diner?”
As a matter of fact, no. If you want the truth, it started four years earlier, during the Palmer Raids. Of course, people don’t want to hear about things they’d rather forget. What they want is a ghost yarn or a gangster tale, and if they can get both at the same time, even better.
So they always start with that night at the diner—the night I strolled, big as life, through the front door of “the Crime,” as it was known back then. It was quite a moment, I’ll admit: The place was filled with forty of the mouthiest guys you’d ever want to meet, yet they all went dead quiet soon as I entered. Art Goldman actually let out a tiny squeak, like a mouse. He told me later that the moment he saw me, he pictured being eaten alive and that caused the squeak.
The amazing thing was that nobody reached for anything. The only motion came from a guy named Meltzer, who had been constructing an igloo out of sugar cubes on one of the tabletops (yes, this is the kind of productive work that was done back then). When he saw me, Meltzer’s hands went limp and crashed down on his igloo, spilling cubes onto the floor.
Canadian inspectors wait at the Windsor liquor docks in 1928. The Eastside Mob operated a lucrative rum-running operation on the Detroit River during Prohibition.
The Crosstown Mob Wars of 1930-31
Presiding over this shaky peace arrangement was a Giannola gunman named Salvatore "Sam" Catalonotte. Catalonotte was one of the few men who was both respected and well liked among the competing Mafia groups. His charismatic personality and diplomatic ability enabled Catalonotte to emerge from the Giannola/Vitale gang war as the supreme leader of the Detroit Mafia.
Catalonotte pushed for peaceful solutions to underworld disputes. As a result of his policies, the Mafia gangs prospered during the '20s, and for ten years there was relative peace in Detroit's Sicilian underworld.
The survivors of the Giannola/Vitale conflict evolved into two organizations after 1920. These gangs were known as the Eastside and Westside Mobs. The Eastsiders operated predominantly on the upper Detroit River east of the city. This group was led by Angelo Meli, William "Black Bill" Tocco, Leo "Black Leo" Cellura, and Joseph Zerilli. The Westside Mob, sometimes referred to as the Catalonotte Gang, was led by a treacherous mobster named Chester LaMare. LaMare was known as the Vice King of Hamtramck.

NATALIE WOOD: LOS ANGELES POLICE REOPEN HER DEATH INQUIRY!
Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood
What a shocker!!!! LA police are reopening the death inquiry of actress Natalie Wood. Natalie disappeared off her boat and was found drowned off the coast of Catalina Island.. The boat captain has come foward after these many years since Thanksgiving of 1981... It appears the finger is now pointing at Robert Wagner! OMG
Read the Full BBC Story Here
US police have reopened an inquiry into the mysterious death of film star Natalie Wood, who drowned in 1981. Police in Los Angeles say they have received new information relating to the case, but have not given details.
Wood was found dead during a boat trip off the coast of California with her husband, TV star Robert Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken. At the time her death was ruled to have been an accident, but questions have lingered.
THE BEATLES: YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND MY OTHER FAVORITES
The Beatles were an English rock band, active throughout the 1960s and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Formed in Liverpool, by 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals).
You Can't Do That..
Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as "Beatlemania", transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. They came to be perceived as the embodiment of ideals of the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.
I'll Cry Instead
Initially a five-piece line-up of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums), they built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960. Sutcliffe left the group in 1961, and Best was replaced by Starr the following year.
Molded into a professional outfit by their manager, Brian Epstein, their musical potential was enhanced by the creativity of producer George Martin. They achieved mainstream success in the United Kingdom in late 1962, with their first single, "Love Me Do". Gaining international popularity and acquiring the nickname "Fab Four" the following year, they toured extensively until 1966. During their subsequent "studio years", they produced what critics consider some of their finest material including the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), widely regarded as a masterpiece.
Ask Me Why...
After their break-up in 1970, the band members all found success in independent musical careers. Lennon was murdered outside his home in New York City in 1980, and Harrison died of cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain active.
The Beatles are the best-selling band in history

JFK, JUDITH EXNER, AND SAM GIANCANA
Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy
The rumored affair between President John F. Kennedy and Judith Campbell-Exner was revealed to the press around 1975.
JFK, Judith Campbell & Sam Giancana story // Daily Mail, September, 20, 1976
It was possible that the Republicans released Judith's name and information to discredit the assassinated president.
According to legend Frank Sinatra introduced Judith to JFK and also to Chicago Mob Boss Sam Giancana.
Supposedly Judith carried messages back and forth between the President and the mob. The reputed connection between JFK's father Joseph Kennedy and Giancana left the President in a really tight spot.
Judith Campbell-Exner
J. Edgar Hoover had Judith tailed to obtain information with which to black mail the Kennedys. In 1977 Judith wrote her autobiography as her name was revealed to the press anyway. It was amazing how the American public had no idea about this affair for over a decade. Now days there is no keeping things under wraps... Everything is public...
Exner has been treated unfairly by history. She never sought to capitalize off the fact that she was JFK's mistress. She kept this hidden for years. Jackie knew about her, of course. Once, when Jackie found a woman's pink panties in her pillow case, she turned to JFK in bed and said, "Would you find out who these belong to, because they are not my size?"
Although JFK was assassinated in 1963, it was not until 1975 that the identity of Exner was revealed. This happened when the Church Committee investigated the link which Exner formed between JFK and Sinatra's friends, including Mafia don Sam Giancana. Author Sam Sloane

THE ROLLING STONES US TV DEBUT
The Rolling Stones 1964
The Rolling Stones made their US TV debut on on tv show Hullabaloo, performing ‘Get Off Of My Cloud’. We remember this show totally! We were dancing around my room doing the "Off my Cloud" dance...What a gas!! DVD of Hullabaloo broadcast.
Hullabaloo was an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12, 1965 through August 29, 1966. Similar to Shindig! it ran in prime time in contrast to ABC's American Bandstand.
Many of the programs in the series were videotaped at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. Others were taped in New York City at NBC's Studio 8H (built for Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra and which would later house Saturday Night Live), and in NBC's studio in the Midwood section of Brooklyn.
Much of the series' color videotaped footage was later dubbed over to kinescope on film - as such copied in black and white. Only three half-hour episodes are known to exist in their original videotaped form.

CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU.....
"Can't Get Used to Losing You" is such a great song... As a kid my Mom loved Andy Williams and his TV show. It was one TV show that I enjoyed watching although it wasn't rock n roll... I still love Andy's voice solo or with his brothers. Andy's Christmas specials were just the best... But this song is my favorite of Andy...
A couple of years ago the English Beat asked me to cover their show at The Magic Bag in Ferndale. Stanley T. Madhatter and I ran out to meet Dave Wakeling and see the show. When I got there I was told I couldn't film the band playing. So, as we approached the back door of the Bag, we ran right into Dave.
So I asked him to sit for a few short questions... Dave was fantastic and I was pretty much a video newbie... Watch the arm coming through the window handing Dave a cup of coffee... Yep it's the Madhatter!
One of the questions I did ask him though is how did the Beat decide to cover "Can't Get Used to Losing You". Dave told me he did it for his Dad. It is a fantastic cover!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETULA CLARK!
Petula Clark Official Site
One of the very best vocalists of the 1960's was Petula Clark. "Downtown" was her major hit and is still an incredible song. When I took my young daughter and her friends on vacation I had "Downtown" on CD in my jeep. The kids went nuts whenever it came on... Still cool to this day.....
Petula Clark, CBE (born 15 November 1932) is an English singer, actress, and composer whose career has spanned seven decades
Clark's professional career began as an entertainer on BBC Radio during World War II. During the 1960s she became known internationally for her popular upbeat hits, including "Downtown", "I Know a Place", "My Love", "Colour My World", "A Sign of the Times", and "Don't Sleep in the Subway."

RETROKIMMER: "GO NOW"
Bessie Banks
Before The Moody Blues recorded it, "Go Now" was a Northern Soul single featuring Bessie Banks, it was released in 1964. Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller produced this record and it was written by Bessie's husband Larry Banks. I love this version but the Moody Blue's cover is my ultimate favorite...
Denny Laine recalled to Gibson.com how the band came to cover this song: "It came in one of these suitcases full of records from America. This guy, James Hamilton, he was a friend of B. Mitchel Reed, who was a DJ, and he would send this stuff across.
So I picked that one out especially because Mike Pinder was a piano player. (chuckles) We'd always get the gig where the piano would be out of tune and we'd get the slow hand clap because they were waiting to tune the piano… (laughs) Anyway, we did 'Go Now' because it was a song with a piano in it.

Adam Swift and Kevin Naiqama each scored hat-tricks as St Helens coasted to a 62-16 Betfred Super League win over Hull FC.
Hull made the perfect start as Joe Westerman gathered Jake Connor's kick to touch down before Carlos Tuimavave walked in for a try after Marc Sneyd's 40/20 gave them an attacking platform.
Lomax took a pass from Joseph Paulo to cross before he skipped away from three defenders to go over and he then sent Naiqama clear down the right to go in.
FULL-TIME: 🔴⚪ SAINTS 62-16 HULL FC ⚫⚪
Wow! Four tries from Kev Naiqama, a hat-trick from Swift, two for Jonny Lomax and tries from Welsby and Coote mean Saints put over 60 points past Hull, despite falling behind early. Incredible!#saintsandproud pic.twitter.com/dhLUYZF8Bu
— St.Helens R.F.C. (@Saints1890) April 22, 2019
Lachlan Coote fed Adam Swift and then went in himself and converted all five scores for a 30-10 half-time lead.
Jez Litten went in under the posts for Hull but the rally was short-lived before Swift went in in the corner and soon completed his hat-trick and Naiqama then grabbed a second.
Coote fed Jack Welsby for his second try of the season and Naiqama claimed his third and fourth of the afternoon to wrap up victory.
St Helens coach Justin Holbrook said: "Kevin (Maiqama) is making a big impact for us. He’s starting to really step things up and now the better weather is here and the dry tracks are coming into play, we’ll be seeing the best of him. I thought Jonny (Lomax) was fantastic as well today. On his 200th game for the club I thought he owned the game. He took the right options and it was one of the best performances I’ve seen from a half-back.”
Hull coach lee Radford said: "If that’s the top two then we’ve clearly got some work to do.”

Dr Myhill’s complaint to GMC about PACE authors.

Dear Sir Terence
‘THE PACE STUDY AUTHORS COMPLAINT’
COMPLAINT RE AUTHORS OF PACE STUDY [Reference 1]
I am referring such authors of the PACE TRIAL [Reference 1 below] as are subject to GMC regulation to the GMC investigation team.
https://www.gmc-uk.org/DC6046_Hardcopy_form_52934724.pdf ) as its format does not lend itself to the complexities and details of this case. I would be grateful if you would pass this on to the relevant department.
Edit: There is now a petition you can sign if you wish to support Dr Myhill's complaint: https://www.change.org/p/the-genera...s-complaint-to-the-gmc-about-the-pace-authors

She's accusing the PACE authors of fraud. Previously the thought was that it would be difficult to prove that but it looks like the need to prove intent to deceive may have been relaxed.
A clear test for dishonesty arose in the criminal case of R v Ghosh (1982) 75 CR App. R. 154 where this 2-stage test was marked down as:
"Were the person's actions honest according to the standards of reasonable and honest people?" If a jury decides that they were, then the defendant's claim to be honest will be credible. But, if the court decides that the actions were dishonest, the further question is:
"Did the person concerned believe that what he did was dishonest at the time?"
However, this 2-stage test was relaxed in the case of Ivey v Genting Casinos (UK) Ltd t/a Crockfords [2017] UKSC 67 where it was decided that a view of the defendant's belief of the relevant facts must be made, but that it is no longer necessary to consider whether the person concerned believed that what he did was dishonest at the time. In other words, the second stage of the test is now no longer required to prove dishonesty.
It is my contention that at all points referenced below it is clear that a reasonable and honest person would conclude that the PACE authors’ actions were dishonest.
So it will be interesting to see if this argument is accepted. My (complete, uneducated) guess will be this will be rejected initially to see if she will push it on to whatever the next step in the process is.

Yes I think it is nailed on that she/they (it seems there is a small group of Drs involved) will get pushed back but she strikes me as a determined person who isn't going to be brushed off.

I've not read this yet, but I'm not sure Sarah Myhill is the best person to be doing this, seeing as the GMC has previously made rulings against her for making misleading claims. Also, in that video of her speaking about the problems with PACE, it sounded like she wasn't clear on all the details.
Additionally, I'm not sure this is a good idea coming from anyone. Is anyone aware of an example of a complaint against researchers like this being successful in the past?

I am not so sure it is a bad idea. From a brief glance I suspect the arguments are not that tight, but all the stuff that has come out in the last year or two is cited. I see no harm in the GMC having to think about it.
I cannot think of a successful complaint quite like this but to be honest I cannot think of a set of circumstances quite like the PACE scam. Companies pointing out serious ethical flaws in widespread policy have been successful in the past, although the context has usually been a bit different. Individuals have been struck off or even imprisoned for unethical clinical practices purporting to be a form of research - particularly in the context of cancer surgery.

I'm sure this is one of those "How long is a piece of string?" questions that is completely unanswerable, but how quickly does the GMC reply to accusations against doctors?
In the online magazine, Pulse, I remember a doctor mentioning in some comments that it took several years for a complaint against him from a patient to be finalised and rejected. I would assume a complaint of this complexity from Dr Myhill might take 6 - 8 years to wend its way through the system?

I think the process could be more important than the result. A win being a bonus rather than the main event.
Edit: Not a response to any particular post, just an off-the-wall comment.
Barry, Jan 15, 2018
politicians will be saying to people that they need to use available routes to complain in order to achieve change. Eg you have to have complained to any govt department before MPs will refer your case to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
I don't think many people genuinely thought that NICE were going to review the guidelines but that paid off. (Obvs still a long way to go on that but miles better than waiting X years to even get them to start a review)
Even if this isn't successful it could still chip away at the medical establishments support for BPS and anything that causes a few cracks in the wall is positive.

My personal view is that I would need an infinitely long spoon here: ME/CFS critics of things like PACE have already been portrayed as (and I believe I'm pretty much repeating an SMC quote verbatim here) 'little different to anti-vaxxers'. drmyhill.co.uk still (I just checked) contains the following on its autism page [bold mine]:
Three viruses (all single RNA strands) known to cause brain damage on their own are measles, mumps and rubella. Dr Richard Halvorsen's book "The Truth About Vaccines" (see Amazon Link for The Truth about vaccines) explores this in some depth and, indeed, in the introduction of this book Dr Peter Fletcher states that whilst we may not know the mechanism, there is no doubt that our present epidemic of autism is due to vaccination. I encourage all parents to read the Halvorsen book so they can decide for themselves the best vaccination schedule for their children.
Anti-MMR horseshit? No thanks. I don't want to be associated with that and I don't want ME/CFS patients as a whole to be associated with that.

It's possible that any complaint that isn't cautious and accurate will then be used to try to discredit wider concerns about PACE.
Problems with the case presented at the judicial review of the NICE guidelines were used to disparage wider concerns about CBT/GET for a long time after.
I'd feel nervous with anyone making a complaint like this, and I've got less than full faith in Myhill at the moment.
Having said that, things have progressed a lot over the last few years, and it's possible any investigation could shake something useful loose. Do those at the GMC even have any sort of background in assessing research though? Aren't they just going to defer to authority figures telling them it's just a campaign of anti-science harassment?
I think there’s a place for different people taking different actions. Has anyone else in the ME community raised the treatment of ME patients with the GMC. It might be a bit radical but every campaign has a spectrum of mainstream and radicals.

I think timing is right and if Dr Myhill is gutsy enough to do it then it looks like she is the right person to ask these questions.
Keela Too, Jan 16, 2018
IMHO, the odds that the GMC would do anything is tiny. The odds are significantly higher that making overblown claims about fraud, orchestrated by a practioner who herself has had run ins with the GMC and who makes somewhat dubious claims about alternative treatments/vaccinations, would feed in to the vexatious anti-science nutters narrative. Let's face it: ME/CFS patients have a PR problem - and this would likely make it worse. I can't see how this action would do anything other than score an own goal.

Oh it would be wonderful to see the PACE authors struck off. Don't wake me up from this lovely dream...
I have mixed feelings about this. I think they should be disciplined, but I can't see it happening, and am worried it might backfire, and actually strengthen them as they will be able to say the GMC have investigated and found no case to answer. And this could backfire on the NICE guideline review if they are found not to have fraudulently distorted their data.
I also have mixed feelings about Dr Myhill. She seems sincere and dedicated to helping ME patients, but she seems to have some unscientific ideas too, and doesn't come across well as a speaker.
Would she have to present the case in person, or is it all done through documentary evidence?

Myhill has won ALL her GMC complaints . I think the team behind this venture are more than capable of creating a very tight evidence base in the legal sense. I don't think the Establishment are going to play 'easy' with this, but playing 'hard' might actually turn out to be very embarrassing for them. I sense we're looking at this as a 'long game'.

I've had a look through the document now. I do think she has done a pretty thorough job, all based on the JHP special issue on PACE as evidence. And I like her idea of inviting patients who have been harmed to submit their own testimony directly to the GMC - I hope a lot are able to do so.
One point I didn't see that I think she perhaps should have included is the fact that White and others didn't declare their conflict of interest as advisers to the DWP and insurance industry to patients on the consent form at the start of the trial, which, as David Tuller pointed out, negates the consent, and makes all the trial data unusable / invalid, and the consent form information fraudulent.
I really hope she succeeds.
A question about submitting evidence. I have not been directly harmed by CBT or GET of the PACE variety, but I, like many of us, believe I have been harmed by the NICE guidelines, both in refusal of referrals to specialists to check for alternative or additional diagnoses, and in consistent encouragement to push myself to exercise more. I don't think this is the sort of evidence required, so don't intend to submit it. Am I right?

Published: 3rd October 2013
Water is the theme of this year’s National Poetry Day, inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’.
Coleridge lived at Greta Hall in Keswick at the start of the 18th century, so itwould be remiss of us not to join in with the celebration of our Nation's poetry
At the moment, some favourites include (in no particular order):
Macavity: The Napoleon of crime! Brilliant.
Matilda (who told lies and was burned to death): I love this one – poor old Matilda!
Scissors: This poem strikes a chord with Sally for some reason (she would have called it ‘Tweezers’ though)!
The King’s Breakfast: Our children love this as much as we did when we were children.
Chocolate Cake: Our little girl loves this because she loves chocolate, my brother also likes it, which I find harder to understand!
Unfortunately none of these really fit the water theme, so I would like to celebrate ‘Cargoes’ by John Masefield (to be read aloud to be truly appreciated).
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

Sausage and rapini over capunti, a shell pasta shape
Siamo Napoli embraces its Italian identity
Neapolitan pizza is only part of the coastal town’s cuisine
By Ian Anderson, Sept. 23, 2019
We are Naples. That’s what the name means of San Diego’s latest Italian restaurant operated by people from Italy, means. Siamo Napoli recently picked up where Il Postino left off in a large North Park restaurant row space. If you’re looking for a way to distinguish this one from what has become many worthy Italian options around town, it would be that Napolitano identity.
Siamo Napoli
3959 30th St, North Park
I’ve never been to Naples, but if bread service there includes a dipping bowl of basil pesto, sign me up. That and the breezy elegance of the place made a good first impression, brightened by leafy hanging plants, a white and blue tiled bar (serving wines and apertivos), and the site of a wood burning pizza oven. I dove straight into a margherita pie (generous grating of parmesan optional), and relished munching on the simple yet effective ingredients and pliant Neapolitan crust ($11). It’s gotta be tough to go wrong with other pies at a few bucks more, highlighting such toppings artichoke, soppressata, shrimp, and the house sausage.
Margherita pizza in a Neapolitan restaurant
I always have to try the house sausage, but did so on the pasta menu, going for the capunti, thought to be the only example of this shape of shell pasta in town; though, as I mentioned, there is no shortage of quality Italian food in this city, so who knows? Here the soft little shells — shaped almost like tiny cannolis — are topped with fennel sausage, rapini, and chili flakes, with a light, buttery coating of sauce, and more generously added parmesan. I found it a little mild on the chili pepper front, but the fennel had a sort of sharp, peppery kick of its own that got my attention.
Cherry- and custard-filled pastries
Siamo Napoli doesn’t have a humungous menu, but there seem to be plenty of compelling options in every section of it. In the case of pasta further highlights would seem to include eggplant parmesan ravioli ($18), lamb ragout over cabernet infused pappardelle ($21), and seafood risotto ($21).
Elegant and casual interiors needn’t be mutually exclusive.
But my seafood craving leans decidedly branzino, so I returned for the Mediterranean bass, which came out fileted and sautéed (light, edible skin on but easy to remove if you wish) with fingerling potatoes, artichoke hearts, and olives in a pool of lemony oil ($27). Though lumped together on the plate, I didn’t get the feeling these were meant to eaten in the same bite. Perhaps if I knew Naples better, it wouldn’t seem so unusual a combination. Nevertheless, led by the moist, white flakes of branzino, I enjoyed nibbling through the oil-drenched fare.
Branzino with olives, artichoke, and potatoes
What really cinched my newfound Naples interest was the zeppole, a donut-like pastry filled with custard and amarena cherries, served over a drizzle of hazelnut syrup. I didn’t expect to eat this; one of the owners sent it out to convince me Neapolitan desserts are worth considering. Not because he suspected I’m a food writer (I dine anonymously), but because just about everyone at Siamo Napoli is impossibly friendly, with the accents to prove they didn’t learn that sort of behavior here. Anyway, color me convinced. From now on, I leave room for dessert.

Building A Garden: Why Growing Herbs is Easy
Self-sufficient and never needy, herbs are the least destructible edible
By Yaran Noti
Matt Taylor-Gross
“Herbs are the unsung heroes of the garden,” says Shawn Connell of GrowNYC as we stand in the organization’s teaching garden on Governors Island in New York City. It’s (finally) warm—seeds have germinated, leaves have grown, it’s starting to look like a real garden out here in New York Harbor—and the herbs are some of the first things that appear ready to be pick.
“They require a lot less care,” Shawn continues. “They’re self-sufficient, resilient, and hearty. They don’t have a lot of needs.” Herbs are that kid you raised REALLY REALLY well and who does 15 extra-curriculars on her own; that boyfriend who never really needs to hear “I love you;” the cat who disappears for days just doing her own thing.
Most herbs are perennials, which means once they are all settled into the soil, they’re there for good. Over the winter they’ll appear shrunken and dead, but come spring they’ll come back on their own (one notable exception is basil, which is like the youngest child who needs to be babied a bit—more on that later).
You can start herbs either by seed or by transplant (or even from a clipping, but as Shawn explains that process to me, I realize that newbies like me should stick to the first two options). And once they are in, they don’t need to be watered as much as vegetables do—just a couple of times per week, according to Shawn. The best thing about herbs is that because the part you pick is the leaf (and not the root or the fruit), they are the gifts that keep on giving throughout the summer: their leaves keep coming back.
Shawn gives me a tour of his herbs: Sage, creeping thyme, Greek oregano (“the most oregano-smelling of the oreganos”). To optimize their yield, the key is to pick the leaves in a way that encourages them to bush out. Don’t just snap leaves off of herbs; instead, take scissors and cut one node down (where you see smaller buds) from the mature leaves, thus cutting the plant at a place that is still growing, allowing new growth to replace what you cut. Simply pulling off the mature leaves doesn’t encourage the plant to replenish itself.
"Every gardener has his theories"
Some trickier herbs require special care: Shawn recommends planting mint in its own planter because it has a tendency to take over an herb garden. Rosemary, especially when it is young, can be sensitive to the cold, so Shawn says you should plant it in a pot that you can bring in over the winter. Shawn also grows stevia, and as I eat a shockingly sweet leaf, he explains that it’s more of a fall herb—the heat can make it bitter.
And then there’s sweet basil. Unlike most of its herb friends, it’s a one-and-done annual. It also needs a lot of water, lots of sun, and can be very delicate. It has a tendency to flower (and once it flowers, it will stop producing its delicious leaves), so you have to be vigilant and pinch off the flower buds as soon as you see them. But Shawn believes that sweet basil has a little magic up its sleeve, too: He always grows it with his tomatoes because he thinks the basil keeps the tomatoes blight-free—though he has no idea how or why. “Every gardener has his theories,” Shawn says. “And that’s one of mine.”

© 2016 Saxsational
Saxsational began life in Sheffield in 2003 when four local music graduates were looking for opportunities to develop their saxophone playing and have a giggle performing together.
They soon found that the unique, seductive sound of four saxophones coupled with their flourishing musical talents made them a big hit on the Sheffield music scene. Saxsational was invited to perform at numerous public concerts, recitals and music festivals, its quirky blend of jazz and classical music being something just that little bit different for audiences to enjoy.
Our music has something for everyone.
Who doesn't get excited by the sultry sound of a live saxophone (or four!?)
Please visit our Music page for a listen...
Some of the places we've appeared recently:
Since then, Saxsational has performed at countless weddings, private parties and corporate events, adding some sophisticated sparkle to many a celebration.
Over the years the quartet has expanded to include a number of new players. Our musicians are currently some of the leading saxophonists in the North of England and Midlands. Based in Sheffield and Birmingham, Saxsational is available for performances throughout the UK.

NYC/LI Nursing Home Residents Exposed to Infection From Tainted IV Flush Syringes
By Ronald C. Burke, Esq on Oct 06, 2016 | 0 Comments
On October 4, 2016, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention ("CDC") announced a recall of Intravenous Flush Syringes manufactured by Nurse Assist, Inc., due to a potential link to a dangerous bloodstream infection. The product flushes sterile saline thru an intravenous tube connected to a patient. The infection is caused by the Gram negative bacteria-Burkholderia cepacia which is believed to have contaminated the product. Today, Newsday reported that "nearly three dozen patient's at nursing home statewide may have developed bloodstream infections (sepsis) from contaminated intravenous products purchased by 54 facilities"--most in NYC but six of them on Long Island, according to a New York Department of Health investigation.
According to the CDC, the effects of Burkholderia cepacia on people vary from no symptoms to serious respiratory infections. The bacteria are generally harmless to healthy people but can cause serious to deadly complications in those with compromised immune systems or chronic lung diseases. Recently, B. cepacia has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics. For more information on your rights if you are infected by this product, clink the link below.

Llorente shines as Tottenham thrash Tranmere Rovers
Adebanjo Shegun January 05, 2019
Fernando Llorente scored a hat-trick as Tottenham scored seven goals past League Two Tranmere Rovers to cruise into the FA Cup fourth round.
Llorente, who was just making his second start of the season, scored three in 24 minutes as Spurs recorded their biggest away win in the club’s history.
First he turned in Son Heung-min’s cut-back in the 48th minute for Spurs’ second and then slid a finish under Tranmere goalkeeper Scott Davies from Oliver Skipp’s pass.
Just a minute later the Spaniard completed his hat-trick by poking in Lucas Moura’s cross before being replaced by England captain Harry Kane.
Spurs had been kept out for 40 minutes until Serge Aurier hit a 25-yard shot that deflected off Emmanuel Monthe before swerving into the top corner.
Llorente’s first goal was the first of three in nine minutes for Spurs at the start of the second half with Aurier slotting in his second and Son scoring a fine individual goal with a solo run from deep.
Kane added the seventh in the 82nd minute with a calm chip over Davies from inside the penalty area to draw level with Cliff Jones as Spurs’ joint fourth top scorer on 159 goals.
Tranmere, aiming to reach the fourth round for the first time since 2003-04, rarely troubled their Premier League opponents.
Their best chance came shortly after Llorente had given Spurs a two-goal lead but Harvey Gilmour’s shot was blocked over after a long throw.

Used Cosmetic Products Found to Be Crawling With Infectious Bacterial Contaminants
MICHELLE STARR
When was the last time you checked the use-by date of your makeup? Or washed your brushes and sponges? If the answer is "never" or even "a while ago", you could be smearing infectious bacteria on your skin every time you apply your warpaint.
A new study of makeup in the UK found that up to 90 percent of used products could be crawling with potentially deadly microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter freundii.
Biomedical scientists Amreen Bashir and Peter Lambert of Aston University in the UK examined four kinds of makeup, lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara, and found alarmingly high levels of bacterial contamination. The higher the water content, the higher the likelihood of contamination.
Of particular note were 'blender' sponges, a type of egg-shaped makeup applicator that has become popular in recent years for applying foundation and contouring. These were the worst offenders, with the highest rate of fungal contamination.
In total, the team examined 467 products - 96 lipsticks, 92 eyeliners, 93 mascaras, 107 lip glosses and 79 blender sponges.
"Cosmetic regulations clearly state that products should not contain pathogenic organisms," the researchers wrote in their paper. Yet, "70 to 90 percent of all used products were contaminated with bacteria."
To try to find out why, the team also conducted a questionnaire to study the makeup habits of the users of these products. And, unsurprisingly, they found that the problem is likely a user error.
Makeup doesn't go 'off' like food. But the use-by dates aren't just there for funsies; the date on the packaging indicates the length of time preservatives in the product are expected to keep bacterial contamination at bay. How this information is conveyed varies regionally; the US, for example, has no regulations requiring expiry information on makeup packaging.
A 2013 study found that most users will keep using makeup after the expiry date, anyway. Of an admittedly small sample of 44 students in Brazil, 97.9 percent admitted that they had continued to use their makeup after it had expired.
That's not great, but the blender sponges? That's where it gets truly gross.
In the questionnaire, 93 percent of respondents admitted they had never washed their blender, and 64.4 percent said they had dropped it on the floor and continued to use it afterwards.
Even if they are washed, there's still a significant risk, the researchers said.
"[Foundation] blenders have only been recently introduced as an application product and limited information is available on how best to use or clean them. Our results have shown that these products carried the highest bacterial load during use and more than a quarter were contaminated with Enterobacteriaceae," they wrote in their paper.
"Blenders can be cleaned with warm, soapy water, therefore encouraging microbial proliferation if not dried."
The research, they said, shows that cosmetics companies and regulatory bodies could and should be doing more to caution customers about appropriate makeup safety. In particular, the researchers were concerned about bacteria such as E. coli, which is usually linked to faecal contamination.
"More needs to be done to help educate consumers and the make-up industry as a whole about the need to wash [makeup] blenders regularly and dry them thoroughly, as well as the risks of using make-up beyond its expiry date," Bashir said.
And, while we're on the subject: Never, ever buy counterfeit cosmetics.
The research has been published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology.

KEYNOTE LECTURE via SKYPE: "Islamic Ethics, Human Rights and Migration."
Khaled Abou El Fadl on the Islamic Ethics that could guide issues of migration. A powerful talk in which Dr. Abou El Fadl explores what the Islamic message reveals about modern day issues of migration, refugees and the realities of oppression, and the potential to go beyond international law norms to elevate current standards of humanitarian practice.
Dr. Abou El Fadl delivers the keynote lecture via Skype entitled, "Islamic Ethics, Human Rights and Migration" for the conference on "Migration and Islamic Ethics: Issues of Residence, Naturalization and Citizenship" sponsored by the Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) in Doha, Qatar. In his keynote, Dr. Abou El Fadl speaks first about the Muslim perspective, then discusses the international law that governs issues of migration, and finally, his own view of the Islamic moral impulses that could guide issues of migration; a tradition that could be developed as a matter of Islamic normativity, but that as of yet, has not. Delivered January 28, 2018.

“The Conspirator concerns more than one conspiracy. There was the assassination, of course, but there was also a conspiracy of political expediency.”
—Director Robert Redford
The Conspirator explores the national reaction to Lincoln’s assassination in the aftermath of what was the most shocking murder in US history. Seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State. The woman, Mary Surratt [Robin Wright], owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth [Toby Kebbell] and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Frederick Aiken [James McAvoy], a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal, convened and manipulated by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton [Kevin Kline]. As the nation turns against her, Surratt is forced to rely on Aiken to uncover the truth and save her life.
Director Robert Redford brought Production Designer Kalina Ivanov and Set Decorator Melissa Levander SDSA to Savannah, Georgia to help convey the nation’s capital at the end of the Civil War and during a moment of hobbled civil liberties. Levander responds to comments by Redford, Ivanov and the film’s producers.
Exteriors in Savannah…
“We had to duplicate Washington in 1865 and we certainly couldn’t afford to build it. We scouted all up and down the eastern seaboard and found Savannah to be the best option. It has that old center part of town that has been pretty well retained and preserved. The buildings look the way they did in the 1800s. So we could use the buildings–we just had to cover all the streets with dirt and mulch. Everything was muddy, because there were carriages and horses and no pavement.” --Director Robert Redford
SET DECOR: How much street dressing did you provide?
Set Decorator Melissa Levander SDSA: I was responsible for the lighting, benches, barrels, and lots of bunting. In our research, we found that when Lincoln was killed everyone began to put mourning black bunting over the red, white and blue that had been hung in celebration of the end of the war.
The 10th Street crowd scene and the street scenes in the aftermath of the assassination took a lot of preparation. We had to hang an extensive amount of bunting and pennants, which was difficult because we were on a real street. We also had to check every window—if the window treatments were not period enough looking, we had to go in and change them. This meant the locations department had to knock on the door and get permission from most people on the block, and then we worked out the proper draperies and set dressing for each street-facing window.
Historic building interiors…
“Yes, we’re in a historic home, but I am going to create a character and follow the color palette we’ve developed…Everything was primary colors. As the assassination attempts are made, we see the rich and sumptuous colors of Ford’s Theatre, Seward’s home and the hotel where Vice-President Johnson lived. We wanted to show this rich palette and then slowly drain all color away.” --Production Designer Kalina Ivanov
SET DECOR: How did you approach the interiors when shooting in actual buildings of the period?
Levander: We focused on color, texture and a period tone. We shot in some amazing historical locations that had great production value, but we had to make sure they worked with the palette we had established. We created boards with fabric, wallpaper, etc. for every set so we could control this. If the location had red drapes and our boards called for gold, we would change them. We mixed Empire furniture with rustic pieces—so many different styles, but a lot of the museum homes also had amazing elements that we could use.
The lighting…
“Everything in those days was lit by candle, or torch, or gaslight. So that’s going to have a whole different look and feel. The challenge was to have the character’s faces go to an almost opaque quality, while still saturated, without losing detail in the far background. Now that was a tricky thing but it was fun to work on.” --Director Robert Redford
“Everything in our film is gaslight or kerosene or candlelight. Everything is organic to the period.” --Production Designer Kalina Ivanov
SET DECOR: How did you work out the set decoration aspect of the lighting?
Levander: This was one of the most difficult aspects of this film. We had a very short prep, and every fixture had to be gas or oil. After my first visit to Savannah going through all of the sets and locations with Kalina, I came back to Los Angeles and grabbed every fixture I thought could work for every set we had. Some were originally set up to be gas, but most were not. If the look was right I took it. When the pieces arrived in Savannah, my crew took them directly to the SPFX dept. Thankfully, Special Effects Coordinator David Beavis and our amazing SPFX team were able to make them work. For some of the very specific lamps, we ordered from a company that specializes in gas lamps.
“Every department on this picture has gone to great lengths to make sure that what you see in the frame is as close to what it would have been in 1865 Washington. The biggest challenge was setting up a period piece in the short amount of time we had to re-create a world that no longer exists.” --Producer Brian Falk
SET DECOR: You mentioned the short prep, particularly for a film that requires historic accuracy. Tell us about the truncated time frame and how you dealt with it.
Melissa Levander: I only had 7 weeks of prep! After my first visit to Savannah and the other many locations, I realized I did not have the time or the budget to shop everything locally. I decided it would be best to fly back to LA, load some trucks at a prophouse and have them sent back. I knew I could do it from Warner Bros. Property because they always have a large inventory of antiques. We loaded 2½ semi-trucks full of furniture, draperies, lighting, etc. When everything arrived in Savannah, Lead Person Patrick Fhurman did an amazing job of setting up a beautiful gold room where I was able to “shop” for all of the sets as needed. This saved a lot of time, but we still had to do lots of sourcing locally. My buyer, Summer Eubanks, was a savior—she hit every antique store, and also went to Atlanta to shop the flea market.
Photographic reference…
“Photography was invented just before the Civil War and was used extensively to document both the war and those that fought in it. We used a lot of those photographs in order to re-create accurately what people looked like and how they behaved and dressed…as well as how the buildings and interiors looked.” --Executive Producer Jeremiah Samuels
SET DECOR: Please tell us about the experience of working with/from these actual early photographs.
Levander: The photographs were a great resource. We took a lot of ideas from them, but still made the look our own. We realized that in most of the photographs of the interiors of homes, the furniture is pushed aside, leaving the center of the room bare. The seating areas are dressed around the perimeter of the room probably because the dresses were so big back then. This would not have worked for our sets.
The story…and a key set
Redford describes the film, “It’s set against the backdrop of one of the most famous events in our nation’s history, but at its core, it is deeply personal. I like that juxtaposition, to get inside a piece of history and tell a part of the story that remains relatively unknown.”
SET DECOR: Tell us about the personal story aspect of the boarding house set. What did the set decoration reveal about the characters?
Levander: Mary Surratt was a woman that came from some money, but lost her husband and was trying to make ends meet with the boarding house. We felt she should have remnants of a few nice things mixed in with utilitarian things. Robert Redford asked that I do not overdo it. He wanted to make sure we could see that Mary was struggling to make ends meet. I layered worn table cloths over a nice wood table. We added a bed to the dining room, worn blankets over the sofa.
Other key sets…
Mary Surratt’s jail cell
Levander: Just a few elements, but each was important: mattress, pillow, straw, lantern and a bucket. We found some futons that were the right size and had a wonderful seamstress sew multiple slipcovers out of an old ticking fabric. We did the same with casings for small airplane-sized pillows. Consistent throughout all of the research was the fact that straw was used on the floor in the prison cells.
The prison’s tented grounds/garrison
Levander: This took a lot of set dressing to fill the huge grounds. We purchased authentic canvas tents of the period and then made sure they landed in the correct spot when they were erected. We knew they would not be easy to move around! Then we filled them and their surroundings. My crew dumped truck after truck full of set dressing to give this area life. There were good Civil War research books for this that we studied extensively. I particularly remember a photo of Lincoln in a tent. There was an American flag folded and draped over the wooden table where he sat – simple and profound.
The vendors outside the prison walls
Levander: Thank God for my crew and our interns! It took so much time to create the Lincoln memorabilia sold at one of the tables. Every piece took thought and creativity.
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton’s office
Levander: In one of the research books we read the following quote from Stanton's biographer Frank A. Flower: "The furniture of Stanton's office was of the simplest kind. The only luxury was an old haircloth lounge, from which the covering was half-worn. On this, during great battles or important military maneuvers, he slept when he dared not be away from the telegraph instrument day or night. Here, too, during many an anxious night, Lincoln stretched himself while reading dispatches and consulting the Secretary."
Referencing this, I found an old sofa that we aged in the right places and added appropriate pillows. Redford used it in the scene where Surratt’s lawyer Frederick Aiken comes barging in. Stanton jumps up off of his sofa as if he had been asleep there.
Ford’s Theatre
Levander: Kalina did such a great job in designing this set for very specific camera angles that gave us the sense of a large crowd. The whole stage and one side of the balconies were built, and then there was a floating piece that they could shoot from towards the stage to feel like the full audience. Warner Bros. Drapery Department was able to re-create the draperies for me from a research photo I had given them. We did not choose to use the same color as the originals, but we used the same design.
Scriptwriter James Solomon says of the film, “It is so beyond my wildest imagination. You write two or three lines in a script and it takes an army of extraordinarily talented and committed folks to realize it on film.” Redford states, “Our production designer, Kalina Ivanov…probably had the toughest job of all and I think the film will speak for itself in terms of her skill.”
SET DECOR: Please tell us about your collaboration with Production Designer Kalina Ivanov...and with Director Robert Redford.
Levander: My collaboration with Kalina is always a great experience. We have done three films together—LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, MADE OF HONOR and THE CONSPIRATOR. Her ability to convey her designs is amazing. We will talk about scenes as she sketches the sets in front of me. Wow, can she draw! I love that. Direction is imperative, but at the same time she gives me the freedom to decorate and respects my opinion throughout the whole process. Working together on a period film, with the opportunity to reveal a part of actual history, added another dimension.
I am proud to have been part of a Robert Redford movie. He’s an amazing man.

This year marks a significant anniversary for U.S. Girls, the protean musical enterprise of multi-disciplinary artist, Meg Remy. 10 years ago Remy first used a 4-track recorder and a microphone to self-produce a series of spontaneous, starkly musical, ‘instant expressions’. These collisions of static, clang and sung melody seem in retrospect like a uniquely American display of minimalism, an unmistakably feminine counterbalance to Nebraska or Rev & Vega’s early sonic confrontations. In contrast, her latest work for 4AD and Royal Mountain Records, In A Poem Unlimited, Remy’s 6th album and 2nd LP for the label, was painstakingly crafted in multiple studios by a creative cast of 20+ collaborators. Remy traverses an immediate and increasingly politicized vision over the course of this decade of work. And while U.S. Girls, denoting the plural, is no longer a misnomer, In A Poem Unlimited may be Remy’s most individually distilled protest to date.
Opening with a dark, conga-infused drum break, lead-off track ‘Velvet For Sale’ establishes a moody, distinctly mysterious feel. If Half Free (Remy’s 2015 4AD offering) trafficked in dusty, sample-based textures, Poem represents an inversion of that instrumental formula; the non-sampled rhythms are themselves eminently sample-able. The newfound grooviness speaks to a central element of the new album’s collaborative spirit. All tracks save for two were performed by The Cosmic Range, an accomplished instrumental collective from Toronto, Remy’s adoptive hometown. Assembled by Matthew Dunn in 2014, The Cosmic Range is composed of some of Canada’s most accomplished improvisers, and includes longtime U.S. Girls producer / foil Maximilian ‘Twig’ Turnbull. The Range--whose eclectic combination of improvised psych, jazz, and propulsive dance music was first recorded on their 2016 New Latitudes debut (Idée Fixe)--is put to work here on a song cycle that is typically diverse for a U.S. Girls album. Remy is not content merely to establish a new sonic palette on successive albums. Instead she approaches each song as its own encapsulation, with the effect that her oeuvre is essentially genre-agnostic. On Poem, the buffet of sounds comprises a dizzying variety: disco, employed as a protest vernacular (‘Mad As Hell’), as well as an unrelenting assault (‘Time’); Remy’s beat-driven impulse, extended via The Cosmic Range’s vamping on hip hop producer Onakabazien’s produced loops (‘Incidental Boogie’ & ‘Pearly Gates’); moody, slow-burning funk, on the Twig co-writes (‘Velvet For Sale’ & ‘L-Over’); and forming the emotional core of the album, two earnest synth anthems, written in collaboration with D.C. based instrumentalist, Rich Morel (‘Rosebud’ & ‘Poem’).
As hectic as the stylistic detours may sound on paper, Remy and mixer / co-producer Steve Chahley will a consistent aesthetic into being, however multi-dimensional. With a voice as assured and engaged as Remy’s, track to track, one sees that genre-partisanship, in the contemporary music landscape, represents an irrelevantly conservative approach. The artist is intent on liberation both sonically and lyrically.
Poem features dark meditations reflecting charged atmospheres that directly precede and follow acts of violence. Many of the songs are character studies of women grappling with power; how to gain and exert it spiritually, as well as desperate strategies to mitigate its infliction. In ‘Pearly Gates’ a woman ingeniously decides to seduce St. Peter to assure heavenly entrance, to mixed effect, while in ‘Incidental Boogie’, a battered woman muses ironically that her partner’s abuse leaves so little physical evidence she can continue to show up at her job. Almost all of Remy’s lyrics seem to interrogate notions of morality, and the universal consequence of its deferment. As has so long been suggested in the artist’s work, action and inaction both have broad civic consequences. There is no escaping that the personal is entrenched in a political dimension and an acknowledgement of that may be the only liberator.
In an era of heightened turmoil, artists contend with a crossroads decision on cultural content, and how we engage with it as individuals. There is no shortage of media that lends distraction and offers a balm of comforting fantasy. For those, on the other hand, craving a thoughtful and probing inquiry into the iniquity of power, In A Poem Unlimited poses a substantial question; can you dance while you think?

Front Mission Mobile!
By Rolando April 25, 2007
Why is it that Japan gets pretty good mobile games?
Famitsu reports Square-Enix’s official announcement of Front Mission Mobile titled Front Mission 2089-II. Details are pretty scarce as to what the game’s story is about; but if I had to take a guess, I’d assume its a gaiden to Front Mission 1st as evidenced by the image to the left with Lloyd. If you’re fortunate enough to live in Japan and own a out of this world Japanese cellphone that enables you to download and play this game and are an avid fan of the Front Mission SRPG series, then do yourself a favor and download this game to your cellphone.
Then, when you’re done, you can tell me all about it.

Need for Speed: Nitro-X Hits DSiWare
By Ishaan November 15, 2010
There’s a bunch of games releasing on Nintendo’s digital download services this week, but the highlight of the bunch would be Need for Speed: Nitro-X.
The original Need for Speed: Nitro was originally released for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Nitro-X is a digital version of the game for DSiWare, with 18 cars and 16 of the original game’s tracks, updated.
Nitro-X has a “Super Pursuit” mode that lets you play as a cop, which is a feature that wasn’t in the original. This mode has six police cars to choose from. You can play Nitro-X in local multiplayer with three other players, too.
The DSiWare game also lets you take ingame screenshots and lets you control via the touchscreen like the original, if you want to. Need for Speed: Nitro-X costs 800 DSi points ($8.00).
Other digital games releasing this week on Nintendo’s services are 21: Blackjack (200 DSi points / $2.00) and Derby Dogs on WiiWare (500 Wii points / $5.00), published by Aksys, which is a race dog breeding and racing simulation. The latter has online multiplayer support.

Southern Baptist Seminary President Al Mohler on Yoga: "It's Not Christianity"
reprinted from The Church Report - www.thechurchreport.com
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (10/7/10) — A Southern Baptist leader who is calling for Christians to avoid yoga and its spiritual attachments is getting plenty of pushback from enthusiasts who defend the ancient practice.
Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler says the stretching and meditative discipline derived from Eastern religions is not a Christian pathway to God.
Mohler said he objects to "the idea that the body is a vehicle for reaching consciousness with the divine."
"That's just not Christianity," Mohler told The Associated Press.
Mohler said feedback has come through e-mail and comments on blogs and other websites since he wrote an essay to address questions about yoga he has heard for years.
"I'm really surprised by the depth of the commitment to yoga found on the part of many who identify as Christians," Mohler said.
Yoga fans say their numbers have been growing in the U.S. A 2008 study by the Yoga Journal put the number at 15.8 million, or nearly 7 percent of adults. About 6.7 percent of American adults are Southern Baptists, according to a 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center Forum on Religion & Public Life.
Mohler argued in his online essay last month that Christians who practice yoga "must either deny the reality of what yoga represents or fail to see the contradictions between their Christian commitments and their embrace of yoga."
He said his view is "not an eccentric Christian position."
Other Christian leaders have said practicing yoga is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. Pat Robertson has called the chanting and other spiritual components that go along with yoga "really spooky." California megachurch pastor John MacArthur called yoga a "false religion." Muslim clerics have banned Muslims from practicing yoga in Egypt, Malaysia and Indonesia, citing similar concerns.
Yoga proponents say the wide-ranging discipline, which originated in India, offers physical and mental healing through stretching poses and concentration.
"Lots of people come to yoga because they are often in chronic pain. Others come because they think it's a nice workout," said Allison Terracio, who runs the Infinite Bliss studio in Louisville.
And some yoga studios have made the techniques more palatable for Christians by removing the chanting and associations to eastern religions, namely Hinduism and its multiple deities.
Stephanie Dillon, who has injected Christian themes into her studio in Louisville, said yoga brought her closer to her Christian faith, which had faded after college and service in the Army.
"What I found is that it opened my spirit, it renewed my spirituality," Dillon said. "That happened first and then I went back to church." Dillon attends Southeast Christian Church in Louisville and says many evangelical Christians from the church attend her yoga classes.
She said she prayed on the question of whether to mix yoga and Christianity before opening her studio, PM Yoga, where she discusses her relationship with Jesus during classes.
"My objection (to Mohler's view) personally is that I feel that yoga enhances a person's spirituality," Dillon said. "I don't like to look at religion from a law standpoint but a relationship standpoint, a relationship with Jesus Christ specifically."
Mohler wrote the essay after reading "The Subtle Body," where author Stefanie Syman traces the history of yoga in America. Syman noted the growing popularity of yoga in the U.S. by pointing out that first lady Michelle Obama has added it to the festivities at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn.
Mohler said many people have written him to say they're simply doing exercises and forgoing yoga's eastern mysticism and meditation.
"My response to that would be simple and straightforward: You're just not doing yoga," Mohler said. (AP)

Our Telekom registers SBD$33 Million Profit
Friday, 15 June 2007 09:20 AM
Our Telekom has announced that an after tax profit of SBD$33-million dollars was made last year.
The National Provident Fund which owns 65 percent of the shares in the company received SBD$19-point-6million dollars dividend from the company.
Speaking after the announcement of Telekom's dividend payment of SBD$19 million to NPF, general manager Tony Makabo stated in an interview with SIBC that his board of trustees regards Solomon Telekom as a vital investment for NPF's members.
"Our Telekom is our company and the NPF members are very happy and proud of this investment," said Makabo. "Telekom has worked very hard to build a fine company and competition should not be allowed to recklessly destroy the investment which is in the hands of Solomon Islanders."
The national government has also collected over SBD$40-million dollars in tax revenue from Our Telekom's business last year.

Go For It Pochettino: This £35m Midfield Bulldozer With 7 Goals, 9 Assists Would Be Excellent For Tottenham
by Aakarsh Bommakanti June 16, 2017, 12:06 pm
Jean Micheal Seri Would Be Perfect For Tottenham And Here’s Why
Mauricio Pochettino seems to be pro-active this summer as he is already looking to improve a squad that managed to finish 2nd in the league last season. The Argentine will have to show some improvement and progress next season and he wants some star players at his club to help him in this quest. One player now extensively linked with a move to Tottenham is Ivorian international Jean Michael-Seri.
According to the Daily Mail, the Spurs have enquired about his availability and are planning a move for him this summer. It is understood that he has a £35m release clause and Spurs are reportedly ready to open negotiations for that price with the French outfit Nice in the upcoming days. So is this Ligue1 star the man who Spurs need this summer?
A product of the Africa Sports Academy, Seri was one of the best midfielders on display in the French league last season and his exploits have now taken the Nice to a place in Europe next season. Capable of playing as a defensive midfielder, Seri is a central midfielder whose biggest asset is his vision during open play.
He finished with 7 goals and 9 assists in the league, to add to his 2.2 key passes per game, making him one of the most exciting midfielders in the country. He has already made 12 senior appearances for the Ivory Coast national side and is growing in stature.
A strong and an intelligent player who loves to have the ball at his feet, Seri is capable of breaking even the best defences with short passes while his ability to strike from distance is also exemplary. He may not be the strongest in the air but is decent with his hold up play and is a player who can thrive in the English league.
He also has to work on his tackling in the midfield as he is prone to giving away silly fouls. But Pochettino seems to have seen something in him that is tempting him to make a move for the Nice man.
Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele are not going anywhere while Harry Winks and Eric Dier are also waiting in the shed for their place in the first team. Yet, the Spurs need a star who can change things up and Seri could be the right man.
He wouldn’t walk into the Tottenham first team next season but if he can prove himself, he should not take long to become an important part of Pochettino’s squad.

Designed. Developed. Built.
Steatite custom designed and built antennas are at the pinnacle of antenna development. Our purpose built facility is a centre of excellence for the manufacture and testing of advanced microwave and RF antennas.
Antenna Radomes
The Company designs bespoke and standard wideband low-loss radomes up to 40 GHz using Ray Optics and CST electromagnetic solvers, whilst FEA Solidworks simulation is used to determine wind load stress and deflection.
The radomes are manufactured using solid laminate with open moulding methods and low loss materials laid up as a “C” sandwich. Sandwich core radomes consist of either 2 or 3 layers of a core material between two or more thin sheets of composite. By varying the thickness in both solid laminate and sandwich construction, optimal performance is achieved for the particular frequency range required.
Large multilayer radomes typically up to 6m in diameter can be supplied; and a standard range of radomes are available from 1.1m to 4.8m in diameter.
Steatite has in-house software tools for the design of FSS and experience in the making of FSS radomes and sub-reflectors (singly and doubly curved); also in the design of circuit analogue materials and frequency selective radar absorbers and Salisbury screens. The Company carries out theoretical studies into the microwave properties of single and multi-layer dielectric structures for such purposes as microwave windows, radomes and structural components. The dielectric properties of materials can also be measured.
The ideal radome would appear totally transparent to any electromagnetic signal. Radomes must be designed to minimise the impact of the radome on the enclosed antenna performance. Application requirements often determine the importance of signal distortions such as insertion loss, and scattering into the antenna side lobes.
Solid laminate and sandwich core radomes can be assembled from multiple panels or 1 single piece (the number of panels depending on the size of the radome). Through the process of design it is possible to minimise the effect that the internal flanges has on scattering the signal.
A pre-preg manufacturing process is used and offers a high strength to weight ratio and improved capabilities of operating at high temperatures as well as an increased control over the resin to glass ratio.
Selecting a radome to match your requirements
The primary factors in selecting the type of radome for applications are performance and cost. Additional considerations include installation, wind/gust rating, ease of transportation and weight/snow -loading. All project factors must be considered in order to ensure an optimum match.
Initial cost approximation
The initial cost of a radome is primarily dependant on the size of the structure and increases with the radome surface area (radome diameter) .The material and labour costs in a radome increase geometrically with the diameter (note: doubling the diameter of a sphere increases the surface area by a factor of four).
Mechanical considerations
Radomes are designed to operate and withstand considerable wind speeds and snow or ice loading. Typically wind speeds of up to 60 m/s (134 mph), and snow or ice loading of up to 235 Kg/m2 9 (50Lb/ft2) however MICRIS can design a radome to match your particular loading requirements.
Custom Horn Antennas
Steatite provides a custom design horn antenna capability, providing a flexible and responsive microwave engineering approach to satisfy customer specific horn antenna requirements.
Lensed Horns produce an improved gain figure, ideal for materials testing where a high field strength is achievable over the desired spot size, and may be an alternative to a reflector antenna solution. A lens may be retrofitted to existing horns are useful for EMC / HiRF measurement systems. Lensed horns provide lower back-scatter and improved sidelobe performance. Applications include: Radar Systems, EMC testing, Point-to-Point communication links, Traffic control systems and many others.
Hog Horns can be a useful compact and rigid alternative for sectoral horns and standard pyramidal horns. One of the better known applications of a Hog (or Hogg) horn is by Bell Telephone Laboratories where they ‘accidentally’ discovered microwave background radiation existing when they were pointing to the sky, this provided support for the Big Bang theory and in 1978 Penzias and Wilson received the Nobel Peace Prize for their momentous discovery. The distinctive shape of the hog horn can be an advantage for many applications, especially where space-saving is important.
Dielectric Filled Horns have the advantage of providing operation as a horn antenna but at a lower frequency than the physical size of the antenna would suggest. Filling with dielectric material may also be beneficial for matching an antenna that is designed to launch microwaves into a medium other than free-space. The trade-off for size reduction using dielectric filling, is greater losses in the dielectric material reducing gain and limiting to lower power usage. Steatite has designed many dielectric filled antennas, mostly in the standard waveguide sizes, however many variants may be considered.
Sectoral Horns give a larger beamwidth in one plane in comparison to the other plane where it is very narrow. This is desirable in many applications such as in broadcasting where a few sectoral horns may be arranged, back to back, to cover 360 degrees in azimuth. A fan beam enables the concentration of microwave energy in a fan pattern, as the name suggests, without wasting energy in the orthogonal plane where coverage is not needed. Sectoral horns may be designed for all standard waveguide sizes and also encompasses ridged wideband designs. The ‘flare’ may be designed to be an E-plane or H-plane flare.
Low Sidelobe Diagonal Horns may be useful to provide a solution when high gain and low sidelobes are required from an antenna. One major application is in radiometry work where the noise temperature of a target has to be measured with minimal contribution from sources outside the main beam, which may often be at a higher intensity than at the main beam. Generally Gaussian or corrugated horns are considered for this task however they may be expensive and of restricted bandwidth, both factors arising from the horn’s complex internal structure. Diagonal horns give a very similar level of performance but are simpler to make and have a wider bandwidth.
Dual Linearly Polarised Antennas
Steatite Antennas produces a wide range of Dual Linearly polarised antennas from 0.2 -40 GHz in a number of antenna packages such as Sinuous, Quad ridged and reflector / feed combinations. Dual Linear antennas offer a number of benefits such as polarisation diversity, the ability to operate on two channels simultaneously using one set of equipment. With two uncorrelated signals one channel may be used to transmit whilst the other is used for receive, thus allowing for a duplex communication link.
In antenna test ranges the use of a dual linear source antenna allows the polarisation to be remotely changed without the requirement to physically rotate the antenna. Co-polar and cross-polar measurements can be made without physically accessing the source antenna, allowing the full scattering matrix to be determined.
When a dual linear antenna is used in a monitoring role, where the polarisation is not known, the dual linear antenna may offer the opportunity to simultaneously monitor both vertical and horizontal polarisations.
Monopulse Antennas
Steatite Antennas has experience of designing and manufacturing monopulse antennas where monopulse antennas are used to precisely identify the direction of a radio signal.
In the simplest form they consist of two close spaced identical antennas whose outputs feeds a device called a comparator. This device does two things: first the two signals are added to produce a pattern having a peak at boresight; secondly they are subtracted producing a pattern that has a narrow deep null at boresight. It has two corresponding output ports called sum and difference.
The sum pattern will have a smoothly varying shape which can be used to approximately identify the direction. Having found the approximate direction the very sharp null in the difference pattern can be used to give a much more precise bearing, by instructing the control system to look for minimum signal. The two port monopulse can only be used for tracking in one plane only, for example ships or land vehicles.
The technique can be extended to direction finding in two planes, for example tracking aircraft in elevation and in azimuth. For this four identical antennas are needed, placed in a two by two arrangement. These feed a more complex form of the comparator generating an overall sum, elevation difference and azimuth difference patterns. It has three corresponding output ports. The azimuth and elevation difference outputs each feed a separate control system which looks for a minimum in the corresponding patterns. For radar applications the transmitter is connected to the sum port.
The use of four identical antennas is ideal for relatively narrow bandwidth applications where the fractional bandwidth is not much greater than 50% (see products below) . However, there is a growing need for ultra wide band applications where four identical antennas cannot easily be used. This is because of a conflict in the requirement for an aperture to be large enough to radiate at the lowest frequencies of the band and the requirement for the distance between two antennas to be small enough at the highest frequencies of the band. To avoid these fundamental issues Steatite is able to develop quad-ridged 4-port feeds. This is a single integrated antenna capable of radiating four independent beam modes. Bandwidths of 4:1 or greater are readily attainable.
Slotted Array Antennas
Steatite Antennas has had a long involvement with the design and manufacture of both linear and planar waveguide slot array antennas. Typical examples include a simple six element UHF band linear array, a very high power 48 element L band planar array and a complex 32 by 32 element Ka band planar array. A variety of radiation pattern variants can be synthesised from maximum gain to suppressed sidelobes.
Various manufacturing methods are available ranging from sheet metal fabrication to CNC machining out of a solid billet when the precision demands. The arrays may be fitted with low loss radomes for full weather protection. The Company’s in-house computer programs and electromagnetic simulation package CST Microwave® coupled with SolidWorks® mechanical design enable Steatite to design slot arrays that work first time without costly re-development. The manufacture is supported by an extensive test facility enabling the antennas to be fully characterised for VSWR, gain and radiation patterns before packing and shipping.
Ultra Wideband Antennas
The design and manufacture of ultra wideband antennas is a core competency of the Company. A flexible technical approach in satisfying COTS and custom wideband-octave and multi-octave antenna requirements is a major part of Steatite’s capability.
A wide range of polarisations are offered including, single, dual polar, circular and dual circular. Experience established over forty years, has enabled the Company to develop a large portfolio of COTs wideband antenna products and satisfy several wideband custom antenna subsystem projects for civil and defence customers. As an example of our ultra wideband capability please review the COTS 0.8 to 40 GHz omnidirectional antenna QOM-SL-0.8-40-K-SG-L and the 0.9 to 18 GHz dual polarised horn antenna QWH-DL-0.9-18-S-SG-R.

Review: Ennio Morricone Remixes Volume 2
by Rafael Ruiz April 21, 2004
ENNIO MORRICONE REMIXES VOLUME. 2
Now we tend to review whatever we are given, but sometimes you get your choice of albums to listen to. I say this album lying in the stack and went, "YEAH. I want to review that one!" The first volume was a nice surprise and I still have a few tracks from it on my iPod (especially "Addio de Cheyenne"). This is likewise a second helping of techno-pop goodness.
So yet again several dozen European electronica DJs, artists and mixers take one remixing various pieces from Ennio Morricone's illustrious career. This time it is a huge 2 disk set already released less than a year after the first album came out. With the exception of Swell Session, Volume Two has a new gang of artists taking a shot at it with some bigger names (including the Flaming Lips) and a few Japanese artists (Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Fukutomi of Pizzicato Five fame). As I said on the review for Vol. 1, I caution people solely looking for a score album. The electronica comes first here and the orchestrated music second.
Like last time, there's a mixture of popular and obscure works. They pull from so many sources that admittedly I haven't even heard the original piece. Someone takes a yet another shot at the theme to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Hird does a better job than Swell Session did on Volume One, building a moody bass groove and actually using more of the original tracks. Bandini likewise does a bang up Trip-hop cover of "L' Estasi Dell'Oro (Ecstasy of Gold)" from the same movie).
My name is Nobody is used several times in "ll Mio Nome E Nessuno" and "Mucchio Selvaggio", which is covered twice. On "Mucchio Selvaggio", 2raumwohnung takes an retro 80's snyth approach to the piece while Kahuun is more Big-Beat. And While I lean towards the Kahuaan, both have an infectious beat. And that extends to the entire volume. While the experience wears out its welcome occasionally ("Dal Mare", "Un Uomo Nello Spazio"), the overall experience makes the set a wonderful party album.
The styles vary widely from track to track, but my preference is when the artist mixes in some sort of analog sample of the original track, be it rerecorded or not. These a bit too much distance for me when it is all electronic ("La Ragazza Del Padrec") and is against the spirit of what the album is all about. In my opinion.
Considering Morricone has been involved with over four hundred movie scores, I guess Cinesoundz can produce dozens more of these albums. What else can they do for follow-up volumes? I would love to hear Untouchables or Death Rides a Horse or "Man with a Harmonica" (in fact everything from Once Upon a Time in the West). Just think about what The Mission would sound like remixed. And most of all, when will we hear a cover of Exorcist 2: The Heretic?
And you think I'm joking.

Residential Team Members Face-off at Trivia Showdown
CBIS: Special Tree Team Members Committed to Best Practices
Bright Lights, Big Savings
2018 Scholarship Winners Announced!
Brain Injury Association of Michigan Honors Jack Richert With Legacy Society Award
Recruiter Spotlight: Lashawn Slay, Senior HR Specialist
Submitted by Communications Team on March 27, 2019 - 11:26am
When it comes to team building events, our fabulous Residential Services crew really like to go all in to make them as fun and engaging as possible for RSTs (Residential Services Technicians) at Special Tree’s community residences. At their most recent and highly anticipated event, four residential teams gathered at Rosie O’Grady’s in Ferndale to compete in the final Residential Town Hall Trivia Championship which was live streamed on Special Tree’s intranet.
Watch the hIghlights video:
Town Hall meetings are an informal way for our Residential Management team to meet all of the amazing RSTs on their teams. At the meeting, they enjoy lunch and share information about what’s going on in the Residential world. Through interactive games, they test staff’s knowledge on Special Tree’s company history, policies, procedures, and everyday tasks.
In 2018, they had a total of 16 town hall meetings over the course of the year, with four teams advancing to the final championship this winter. The final four teams included Tyler I’s “Fabulous Four”, Middlebranch’s “Warriors”, Tyler II’s ‘Kickin’ Chickens”, and Chesley’s “Lovely Ladies.” The four teams combined had a total of almost 140 years of working experience on board and they were quizzed Jeopardy! Game Show style with questions on a variety of subjects relating to Special Tree.
The Residential Management team did a wonderful job organizing and conducting the games and the teams were filled with excitement when they got the right answers. “How to Do Your Job”, “His-Tree” (History of Special Tree), “Residential Policies & Procedures”, and “What the What” (General Knowledge) were just a few of the Jeopardy! categories that were clever and full of useful information.
The championship included a variety of physical challenges that were fun to participate in and even more amusing to watch. The teams competed in activities like sorting skittles, emptying a tissue box only one tissue at a time, stacking cups, shaking balls out of a tissue box attached to a belt, and a fan favorite, the Pie Face Game loaded with whipped cream and ready to hit an unsuspecting victim in the face at random.
Congratulations to the winning team, Tyler I’s “Fabulous Four”, for not only winning the Trivia Challenge but also for winning bragging rights and a shiny new gold trophy! Everyone is a winner when we provide such fabulous care, every single day.

Barbados Gooseberries
Inventory, bskt : 0
Good Taste Farms
Barbados gooseberries are round or oval in shape, averaging 1-2 centimeters in diameter, and they are identified by their golden yellow or deep orange hues. Their thin, smooth skin houses soft, juicy, opaque flesh with inedible, soft brown or black seeds. Barbados gooseberries have high acidity, and are quite tart in taste. This cactus plant begins its life as a leafy shrub and then uses vine-like branches to climb and expand. Spines can be found on the branches along with the fruit, and the leaves are fleshy and edible.
Barbados gooseberries are available late spring and again in late fall.
Barbados gooseberries, botanically classified as Pereskia aculeate, belong to Cactaceae, or cactus family. This unusual cactus cultivar is commonly known as the Lemon Vine, Sweet Mary, Leaf Cactus, Blade Apple, and Ora-pro-nobis in Brazil. Unlike other cacti, Barbados gooseberries are leafy, climbing shrubs with spiny, non-succulent stems. A unique feature of this cactus is the ability to spread quickly and use other vegetation to anchor itself to. It also has the ability to re-grow from fallen leaves and fragments of its stem. This shrub is considered an aggressive invasive species and is banned in many countries like South Africa and Hawaii because of its destructive nature.
Barbados gooseberries have high nutritional content in both the fruit and leaves. The fruit is a good source of vitamin A, and it contains high water content. It also offers a low amount of calcium, protein, and phosphorus. The leaves have been found to be an excellent source of protein, and they contain iron, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in levels much higher than in spinach and lettuce.
Barbados gooseberries can be used in both raw and cooked applications. They are most popularly enjoyed in sweetened syrups and jams, where the fruits are stewed and preserved with sugar. A popular gooseberry pairing is to cook it down with sugar and water to create a compote that can be use in a variety of main dishes and accompaniments. This compote compliments chutneys, sorbets, and even savory sauces and salads. Keep these perishable fruits in the refrigerator. The leaves can also be cooked and used as a vegetable or dried and crushed to be combined into various dishes such as miso soup, breads, and sausages.
The Barbados gooseberry plant, known as ora-pro-nobis in Medias, Brazil, plays a vital role in local cooking. The leaves are the most typical cooking ingredient because of their high nutritional content and are most often found in savory dishes. These leaves are also used for medicinal purposes including fighting inflammation and can help soften and soothe skin when directly applied.
Barbados gooseberries are thought to have originated in areas of South America and the Caribbean Islands. They later spread to Central America and locations scattered throughout North America. Barbados gooseberries are seldom found growing truly wild today, but are commercially or domestically grown for their ornamental nature, as well as for their fruit and leaves. Barbados gooseberries thrive in a humid climate and in low elevations. They can be found in Israel, the Philippines, India, and Australia.

Page Tangerines
Garcia Organic Farms Homepage
Page tangerines are small to medium-sized round fruits. They are slightly flattened at each end, with a thin, bright orange rind that can be easy to peel in small pieces. The skin is pebbled and aromatic, and offers floral and citrus notes. The flesh is deep orange in color, and is nearly seedless depending on the growing conditions. It is very juicy and sweet, with a balanced acidity.
Page tangerines are available in the winter months.
The Page tangerine, botanically classified as Citrus reticulata, is a cross between a minneola tangelo and clementine mandarin. Although it is a tangelo-hybrid, containing three-quarters mandarin and one-quarter pomelo, it was originally marketed as an orange.
Page tangerines are high in vitamin C, folate and dietary fiber. They are a good source of vitamin A, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They also contain B-complex vitamins and antioxidants in the form of flavonoids and polyphenol compounds.
Page tangerines can be used fresh or in cooked preparations. They are suitable for supreming as the flesh is firm, the skin is thin, and the peel clings to the outer membrane. Add whole segments to cakes and salads, or use the juice for frozen desserts, cocktails or other beverages, marinades, or vinaigrettes. Pair fresh segments with olives, honey, peppery greens, avocado, citrus, and seafood. Page tangerines will keep at room temperature for one week, and can be refrigerated for longer storage.
In Florida, availability of Page tangerines is limited due to inconsistent fruit size and rules regarding shipment.
The Page tangerine was developed in 1942 in Orlando, Florida by United States Department of Agriculture botanists Gardner and Bellows. Today, Page tangerines are widely grown in the coastal temperate regions of Southern California, as well as in Florida.

Idaho State football: Coeur d’Alene holds off Highland, advances to 5A title game
Fri., Nov. 15, 2019
(SR)
By Ryan Collingwood ryanc@spokesman.com(509) 459-5473
State football: Kannon Katzer, Mt. Spokane unstoppable in win over Peninsula
Coeur d’Alene is heading back to the Idaho 5A State championship game.
And it’s just 84 miles down the road.
The Vikings’ defense stiffened in the second half Friday at Coeur d’Alene High, holding off fellow state power Highland 21-17 in a white-knuckle semifinal.
Coeur d’Alene (9-2) will face Rigby (10-1) at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow in the state title game, the Vikings’ sixth appearance since 2010. A date and time have yet to be determined.
A fourth-down stop lifted CdA, which avenged a 28-21 loss to Highland (8-4) in Pocatello on Sept. 27.
Highland drove down the field on its final drive trailing 21-17, boosted by three third-down conversions and a pass interference call on the Vikings.
On fourth-and-goal on CdA’s 2-yard line, Highland appeared primed to take the lead, but quarterback Easton Durham’s short pass went in and out of the hands of a receiver in the end zone.
CdA regained possession with 3 minutes, 26 seconds left ran out the clock against Highland, a team it has faced 10 times since 2012.
“Huge stop,” CdA coach Shawn Amos said. “And offensively, it was a game where we had to take advantage of our possessions, because we wouldn’t get a lot (due to Highland’s clock-eating running game),”
Vikings receiver and defensive back Colbey Nosworthy said he breathed a sigh of relief when Highland’s final pass went incomplete.
“I thought (the Highland receiver) caught it originally,” Nosworthy said. “Then when I saw it hit the ground, I knew we won.”
CdA junior quarterback Jack Prka boosted the offense, connecting with Gunner Giullio on a second-quarter touchdown pass and running in a 1-yard touchdown run, a play set up by a 50-yard pass to Nosworthy.
Highland, which led 17-14 at halftime after Ian Hersey hit a 43-yard field goal as time expired, scored its first two touchdowns on busted CdA pass coverage, including a fourth-and-16 situation in which the Rams’ Braxton Wilhem was left wide open in the end zone.
Prka gave CdA the lead for good when he broke containment late in the third quarter, getting around the edge on a 30-yard touchdown run.
“This game was a definite grind,” Prka said. “It was back and forth, but we just had to believe.”
CdA will face a Rigby team next weekend that handled previously undefeated Rocky Mountain 31-9 Friday.
The Vikings beat Rigby 31-26 in CdA in their season opener.

There May Be a Link Between Depression and Stroke
By Miles March 9, 2019
Feeling depressed may increase the risk of stroke, at least among older adults, a new study suggests.
The study involved about 1,100 people living in New York City; the participants had an average age of 70 and had never had a stroke. At the start of the study, participants filled out a survey designed to measure symptoms of depression, such as feeling sad or feeling like everything is an effort. Based on the survey, the people were given a depression score ranging from 0 to 60, with scores over 16 considered “elevated.”
Participants were then followed for 14 years, and during this time, about 100 of them had a stroke. Those who reported elevated symptoms of depression were 75 percent more likely to have an ischemic stroke — the most common type of stroke — than those without symptoms of depression. (Ischemic strokes happen when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked.) [7 Ways to Recognize Depression in 20-Somethings]
Overall, about 11 percent of the participants with elevated depression scores had a stroke, compared with just 7 percent of those with low or no symptoms of depression.
The findings are preliminary, but if the results are confirmed, “early detection and treatment [of depression] will be even more important,” study lead author Dr. Marialaura Simonetto, of the Department of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said in a statement.
The findings held even after the researchers took into account factors that could affect people’s risk of stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and alcohol consumption.
However, it’s important to note that the study only found an association and cannot prove that depression causes strokes. Future research will be needed to understand how symptoms of depression may affect the cardiovascular system and increase stroke risk.
The current study focused on stroke risk in minority populations; about 69 percent of participants were Hispanic, and so it’s unclear how well the findings apply to other populations.
The findings were released today (March 6) and will be presented in May at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting, in Philadelphia. The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Now in Open Beta, BitMovio Brings Blockchain, Tipping to Video
Unconventional video service BitMovio has launched in open beta today, and is available through browsers or iOS and Android apps. Stocked with gaming, sci-fi, and fantasy content, the video service aims to blend of Netflix, Twitch, and Patreon. It was created with blockchain technology and lets content creators monetize through a variety of models, including subscription, tips, gifts, and micro-transactions. Creators can offer live streams and interact directly with viewers. The service launched in private beta late in 2018.
At the moment, there isn't much to watch on BitMovio. It has 800 hours of what it calls premium content, but the highlights are little known horror and sci-fi oldies. Much content is user-generated and focused on gaming.
Viewers can pay for content with cryptocurrency and an in-platform currency called MoviBits. The service supports transactions and tips at the moment, and plans to offer channel subscription and a rewards-based advertising model in the coming weeks. It's also planning to create a crowd-funded payment platform built on blockchain.
"We welcome any new creator seeking to expand their reach by showcasing their content to BitMovio’s rapidly growing audience of millennial and Gen Z viewers," says Jerry Kowal, the service's co-founder and chief content officer.
With Content Fabric, Eluvio Might Transform Online Video Delivery
Startup Eluvio has announced its first product, and it aims at nothing less than transforming how video and other large files are distributed online.
CES 2019: How Will Blockchain Reinvent Media?
