BA ENGLISH LITERATURE AND POLITICS LQ23
Our BA English Literature and Politics joint degree programme allows study of the art of the possible and persuasion to provide a thorough understanding of the ways in which our society works.
On this programme you will gain a thorough understanding of the theoretical foundations of modern politics and the methods for studying political assent and conflict, at home and abroad. You will have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of specialist core and optional modules, which cover topical issues such as the politics of the welfare state, European political integration, and political thinking. In certain modules, you will have the opportunity to take part in United Nations and Middle East simulations and gain an insight into the political process. You can also take part in other activities that are related to the subject. For example, you can contribute to the Department of Politics and International Relations' weekly politics radio show and learn other useful skills such as presenting and audio editing.
Your study of English literature will give you the chance to study many similar issues from a different perspective: we have experts in contemporary literature from America, the Caribbean and across the British Isles, with research expertise in the study of minority identities and the literature of global justice. You will also have the chance to study more of the authors and genres that you may already know (from tragedy to Gothic, from Shakespeare and Dickens to Plath and Beckett). But it will also introduce you to aspects of literary studies that may be less familiar to you, from children’s literature to publishing studies and the history of the book. Everyone in our department, from new lecturers to professors, teaches at every level of the degree: this gives you the benefit of our expertise and makes you part of the conversation about our research and its impact outside the classroom.
We place a strong emphasis on small-group learning within a friendly and supportive environment. In your first and second years, you will have a mix of lectures (which can be quite large) and seminars, which involve smaller groups of students working interactively with a member of teaching staff. We believe that the study of English literature and politics is a discursive process in which we learn by sharing our ideas, and so we are determined to keep class sizes small enough so that everyone feels able to contribute. We provide detailed and thorough feedback on your written work within 15 working days: this is crucial to your development as someone whose career will involve the writing of clear and persuasive documents.
Throughout your degree you will be thinking about the career choices that will enable you to thrive after graduation: we will help you put in place the skills and experience that you need to launch that career. In English Literature, our innovative placement scheme gives you the chance to undertake an academic placement in commerce, industry or the arts. You can also take a placement module on languages and literature in heritage, in education, and in the media. In politics, you can undertake a two-week placement as part of our module on British government and politics. This is an opportunity for you to gain first-hand experience of working with an MP, charity, pressure group, local councillor or media organisation. You can also carry out longer placements during summer vacations.
In your second year, it may be possible for you to spend a term studying abroad at one of our partner institutions in the USA, Canada, Australia and countries across Europe. To find out more, follow this link.

Blog First they came for Alex Jones...
First they came for Alex Jones…
Ed Park, MD 08/09/2018 culture wars, News, politics, supercentenarians 9 Comments
A few days ago, tech companies of YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, iTunes, and Mailchimp all acted nearly simultaneously to de-platform Alex Jones and Infowars.
So we revisit the old trope about the rise of fascism is the saying “First they came for _____, but as I wasn’t ___ I said nothing.”
On the face of it, his rants of a conspiracy to censor him appear to have come true. Whether you accept his interpretation of a globalist conspiracy is up to you but these tech giants definitely wanted him silenced and acted together.
The mainstream narrative is that Alex Jones is a peddler of conspiracy theories that serve a nefarious alt-right agenda of leading unsophisticated people into places that they should not go. “Trutherism” about the 9/11 attacks, Sandy Hook school shootings, and even gay amphibians are apparently a “gateway drug” to White nationalism and the rise of a Nazi dictatorship in many people’s manufactured view.
Let me now put my cards on the table. Owing to the non-stop and yet unproven Russian-Trump conspiracy theory/hate speech that has been a staple of mainstream media for a year and half, I have been unable to tolerate reputable news and instead I have also watched a fair bit of Alex Jones and other independent news across the political spectrum to get some kind of non-filtered news and to be entertained. I like to believe that I am a free-thinker and therefore I can consider different opinions about his antics and not lose my mind and descend into some alt-right cult as a result of listening to InfoWars.
My best conclusions about about Alex Jones for those that haven’t listened to him and his show now follows:
Alex Jones is a character played by former comedian, Bill Hicks, who faked his death and was put up to this live-action role playing by a CIA mastermind named Dr. Steve Pieczenik, who genuinely believes there is a deep state that works against the best interests of the Republic.
Almost all of what he says is ultimately or in real-time corroborated by so-called “reputable media sources”
His audience callers are sometimes not very discerning and may harbor racist tendencies against Jews in particular but mostly against liberals and the so-called “deep state”.
The official sentiments of the hosts, guests, and most of the callers is not ostensibly racist but rather Libertarian and pro-American. They eschew Naziism, White Supremacy, and violence and instead paint themselves as victims of liberal fascism in the guise of Antifa, social justice warriors, and an Orwellian conspiracy of thought policing.
It is telling that when the New York Times tweeted whether Twitter should also ban Alex Jones, 78% of those responding said no.
Even Jimmy Dore, a liberal talk show comedian who openly despises Alex Jones and everything the right wing stands for, states that de-platforming of Infowars is a violation of the commons of free speech. And he better worry because in the round up of politically incorrect “hate speech”, progressives on the left like him are next. The attacks on the Greens and
“Bernie-Bros” as disloyal spoilers at best and Russian moles at worst are already rising.
Either we all have free speech or we allow the same companies that sold our social media data to election meddlers and the same mainstream media that sold us the ruinous and illegal wars of the past to determine what is acceptable thought and speech. Robert Muller openly accepted Chalaby’s fabrications and presented them to the Congress to justify the Iraq invasion and yet he is now the darling of the left?
I find it hypocritical that a NYT editor openly tweets hateful comments about a so-called race of “white people” and she is defended but when an African-American woman switches the groups, she was suspended.
Regarding human-pig chimeras, raising concerns about the simple narratives around complex events like 9/11 and Sandy Hook, I believe he has the right to ask questions and even the duty to do so since the mainstream media will not even question things like the official single shooter narrative of the Vegas shootings. Regarding “gay frogs”, my old friend from college actually did get attacked by corporations for whistleblowing about gender transformation in frogs from atrazine and just today, a jury awarded a man $289 million for cancer he says was caused by the ubiquitous pesticide, Roundup. Jones frequently rants against pesticides as a depopulation initiative. But maybe it’s just a way to kill germinating plants with unintended side effects?
No, I don’t believe there is a Reptilian, Satanic, and globalist cabal but now that he is banned, more people might be inclined to accept his crazy theories. Since being de-platformed, the InfoWars app already the number four news app ahead of major outlets like CNN so like Tropic of Cancer or other banned media, it appears to have made more people interested.
Is there a “war for your mind” as Alex Jones has been ranting? Perhaps. Was there a conspiracy to censor him? Definitely. Should his speech, when compared with Sarah Jeong, Louis Farrakhan, and Rosie O’Donell, be called out for “hate speech”? Not unless you believe that the freedom to say unpopular or misinformed ideas is trumped by a clear and present need to push a political agenda and control the narrative to a monolithic view.
I recall crazy Alex alleging that voter fraud is accomplished by allowing people to vote for dead people who haven’t been purged from the roles. I thought he was nuts. Yet just today, something came over my email feed about a person asking whether there were really 170 people over the age of 116 eligible to vote in yesterday’s Ohio 12th district. See this article from the AARP site.
Now I would love to believe that there is an amazing “Blue Zone” of healthy voters there, but this may be yet another case in which the crazy Alex Jones, not the mainstream media, got something right.
There used to be a lot of people who defended the Constitution and The Bill of Rights but nowadays, many young people’s minds have been Balkanized to the point that white kids hate white supremacy, rich kids hate capitalism, “cis-gendered, heterosexual, non-disabled people” hate on other cis-gendered hetero-normative, “abilist” people.
The “Special Victims Unit” of liberal American politics has become so ridiculous that they are calling for the condemnation of anyone who is a “normie” and “ableist” (showing preference for not being disabled). Anyone who doesn’t decry the injustice of whiteness, heteronormativity, Islamophobia, closed borders, gender based pronouns, normal chromosome numbers, and capitalism should be de-platformed, attacked, and demeaned.
It is in this context that the new Democratic diaspora, or the #Walkaway movement are happening. As someone who is solidly progressive and voted for Jesse Jackson and liberals since I could vote, it seems astonishing that the people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome at the hands of the media and their collaborators cannot see that denying the free speech of people you disagree with and then hatefully accusing them of hate speech is a very ironic way to combat fascism.
They say that when you point a finger, notice there are three pointing back at you. The tech giants banning Alex claim that he was peddling dehumanizing hate speech (like calling Trump supporters Nazis and calling for public shaming of his cabinet and rape of his son), spreading division by creating fascist unity (like attacking Kanye West), and peddling fake news (examples too numerous to count). Alex Jones states that the attacks against patriarchy, heteronormalcy, gender identity, race-based party affinity, Christianity, and border enforcement are part of a concerted effort. Let us hope that he is wrong and that we are all working towards a more perfect and inclusive union under the Constitution with equal protection under the law.
I don’t know, but we should at least consider the possibility that the Russian-Trump conspiracy theory was contrived. Lets see how it plays out. It is looking like the problem of hubris may come around to bite some people in the behind and that may be the real reason they silenced InfoWars. The people who live off of a police state forgot that everyone is being spied on and are now having to read and explain their text messages, emails, and meetings before Congress with FBI counsel redacting much of the content for unclear reasons.
It appears that other spooks, like the ones who invented Alex Jones counter disinformation character, have been watching the watchmen and they may have a very different story to tell in the coming months, with or without their bombastic mouthpiece, the non-person Alex Jones who now tweets from his memory hole of internet social media oblivion.
I close with the lyrics from an Elton John/Bernie Taupin song, Madman Across the Water:
I can see very well
There’s a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There’s a joke and I know it very well
It’s one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I’m a madman, don’t you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it’s so would I still be here today
It’s quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it’s very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he’s so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain, yeah
We’ll come again next Thursday afternoon
The in-laws hope they’ll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you’re after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

Alex Jones is poisonous. His hatred has become pervasive across this country. Shutting him down protects our humanity as this cult is out for supremacy regardless who they hurt physically or emotionally.
Alice Dewey
Thank you so much for your very intelligent synopsis of what is going on. It is, indeed, a very unusual world we are living in nowadays. Sometimes it does seem a little 1984 ish.
I gave up tv decades ago because it insulted my intelligence. My friends don’t seem insulted by the very same stuff, only now it is called news.
https://youtu.be/osH-0YfKVEg
Bill Hicks in 1993 . The bit that was cut from Letterman.
He looked old back in 93. He was 6′ 1″.
Alex Jones is 5′ 10″. Like your article though.
Timothy Adamson
“Regarding human-pig chimeras, raising concerns about the simple narratives around complex events like 9/11 and Sandy Hook, I believe he has the right to ask questions and even the duty to do so since the mainstream media will not even question things like the official single shooter narrative of the Vegas shootings.” Alex Jones has a duty to ask whether Sandy Hook was a false flag because the MSM accepts the one-shooter view of the Vegas police? So he also must have a duty to ask whether Hilary Clinton runs a pedophile ring because the media was slow to catch the Catholic Church protecting pedophiles. Are you really a doctor with a mind that “works” like that?
Alex Jones peddles a new conspiracy every 30 seconds, and he just keeps churning them out. His claim that Obama and Clinton smell like sulfur and have flies buzzing around them might be one of your favorites, because the MSM refuses to ask whether Nancy Pelosi eats babies in a satanic ritual under the capitol. If only the media were more reasonable, fair, and balanced, Alex Jones wouldn’t have to say all these troubling things. But since they refuse to look for the lizard people, we need his courageous voice.
Thanks for the post. On this day when “Reality Winner” was sentenced for leaking…it appears that we are all losers in reality. The statement I would agree with is that the media forgot to pretend to be objective and that has made a big difference. Oh well
tslate
@timothy, apparently you are the by-product of singular myopic thinking where to question the powers that be(liberal media and government) immediately conjures up radical conspiracy theories. There is no such thing as a conspiracy in so much as asking uncomfortable questions just creates this knee jerk head in the sand protectionism that you exhibit abundantly. I have no doubt you think the Bruce Ohr’s and Peter Strzok’s of the world are heroes, so why bother complaining about Park’s free thoughts, you obviously have none of your own.
Daniel Patsey
AMEN > AMEN!
You start with Alex Jones is played by Bill Hicks who faked his own death and then the CIA created and planted the Alex Jones character and you call Infowars fake news? LOL get real dude.
Not sure what part of this you don’t think is real. The C I A is not monolithic and it appears that Dr. Steve Pieczenic was the architect. I believe their intent was to provide alternatives to the mainstream media, which is too aligned with power and prestige to fulfill the mission of critical analysis and transparency.

FAIR HAVEN: TOWN TAKES UP POT DEBATE

By JOHN T. WARD
Fair Haven officials mulled joining other towns in Monmouth and Ocean counties in opposing the legalization of recreational marijuana Monday night.
But the discussion was left unfinished, as council members differed over what specifically they would oppose of Governor Phil Murphy’s plans for legalization, and what they would find acceptable.

FAIR HAVEN: KOCH JOINS COUNCIL AFTER ALL

Less than a three weeks after a narrow loss at the polls, Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Koch won unanimous appointment to the Fair Haven council Monday.
She replaces Councilman Rowland Wilhelm, who stepped down with two years remaining on his third three-year term.
November 28, 2017 - 7:10 am | Comments ()
FAIR HAVEN: INCUMBENTS WIN NEW TERMS
Fair Haven voters opted for one Democrat and one Republican, both incumbents, in filling two open seats on the borough council Tuesday.
Democrat Christopher Rodriguez led the pack of four candidates with 1,148 votes, outpolling Republican Susan Sorensen by 28 votes, according to results posted by the Monmouth County Clerk.

Two three-year terms on the Fair Haven Borough Council are up for grabs in the November 7 election. On the ballot are four candidates: incumbent Republican Susan Sorensen and her running mate, Betsy Koch; and incumbent Democrat Christopher Rodriguez and his running mate, Jessica Patel.
Here are Koch’s written responses to questions posed to all four candidates recently by redbankgreen.

FAIR HAVEN: McGOVERN TO TAKE LEAD AT PD
Joe McGovern, who’s to be sworn in as chief Monday night, has spent his entire career with the borough police department. (Photo by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge)
It’s a cliché, but in terms of police activity, Fair Haven cries out for comparison to Mayberry. Crime is almost nil, and the top two categories of calls involve traffic and residential construction: blocked driveways, dumpster placements and the like.
Still, this bedroom community has undergone a rapid growth spurt. There are hundreds of kids — more than at any time in the town’s 104-year history — and more traffic.
“We’re also one of the only towns left where most of the kids ride bikes to school,” said acting police Chief Joe McGovern, who is scheduled to become chief next week.
Which makes pedestrian safety the number-one issue for police, he said. “It’s our job to make sure they’re safe.”

FAIR HAVEN: WHAT RESIDENTS LIKE, OR DON’T
A survey found general satisfaction with the older, eastern business district, above. (Photo by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge)
There are too many street lights on River Road. There aren’t enough on Third Street. New and remodeled homes are too big.
So say some Fair Haven residents in a new and extensive survey of on the physical attributes of the town as it begins mapping out its future.
FAIR HAVEN HOSTS A FEBRUARY LUAU
Press release from The Foundation of Fair Haven
Grab your best Hawaiian shirt, and come have some summer-style fun during the frosty days of February — when The Foundation of Fair Haven hosts an encore edition of last year’s successful Tiki Haven Luau event on Saturday, February 27.
Back by popular demand, the fundraiser for future Fair Haven Days takes place from 6:30 to 10:30 pm inside the hall of the Knights of Columbus – Red Bank Council 3187 at 200 Fair hHaven Road. Attendees age 21 and over are invited to shake off the cold; enjoy an evening that features traditional luau food (such as pulled pork and delicious fixins’ prepared by our outstanding food crew and local restaurants), music, a 50/50 raffle, auctions, and games (including a chance to try out the limbo).
FAIR HAVEN: OKTOBERFEST IN NOVEMBER
Rescheduled due to early October’s heavy weather, Fair Haven’s Oktoberfest returns for its fourth annual edition this Saturday evening, November 14.
Revised and re-posted because this event was rescheduled from its originally planned date of October 3 because of rain.
It’s a big-tent happening that exists very much in the autumn moment, from the traditional German food and selection of bier, to the sense of old-world revelry that dares to make merry in the face of the encroaching chill. But at the same time, Fair Haven’s Oktoberfest event is one in which the warm good vibes ripple throughout the calendar year; touching every aspect of the borough’s quality of life.
HATS THROWN INTO AND HELD FROM RACES
Little Silver Mayor Suzanne Castleman is calling it quits. (Photo by Dustin Racioppi; click to enlarge)
By DUSTIN RACIOPPI
Monday was the deadline for candidates to file for November’s elections, and in the sleepy towns of Rumson, Little Silver and Fair Haven, where Republicans dominate and election outcomes are all but foregone conclusions, the big news is who’s not running for re-election.
Here’s a rundown of who’s in and who’s out in those towns.

Chloë Grace Moretz, More Than 100 Other Celebs Sign Anti-Trump Letter
CCN/REX/Shutterstock
More than 100 celebrities signed a letter uniting them in the movement to stop Donald Trump. The letter, part of MoveOn.org's "United Against Hate," formalizes a huge cohort of celebs who see a need to make a strong statement against a man they consider to be a danger to America and the world.
The letter, given exclusively to Mic, promises that the signatory celebs will "use the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump and the hateful ideology he represents."
"When dangerous and divisive leaders have come to power in the past, it has been in part because those of goodwill failed to speak out for themselves or their fellow citizens," the letter reads in part, referencing Trump's stands against pretty much anyone that isn’t straight, white, and male. "Some of us come from the groups Trump has attacked. Some of us don't. But as history has shown, it's often only a matter of time before the 'other' becomes me."
Bryan Cranston, a signatory, voiced his support when he joined a panel of 1960s-era civil rights leaders Tuesday, according to the AP. Cranston played Lyndon B. Johnson, who worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. to end segregation, on both the stage and HBO in All the Way.
Lena Dunham, who signed the letter as well, spoke out while on her own panel in advance of her speaking appearance at the the Democratic National Convention tonight. An audience member asked her if she was worried about possible negative Trump tweets.
"He's already called me a B-lister with no mojo, so what's coming next?" she said, smiling.
The letter's signatories also include: Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, Neil Patrick Harris, Olivia Wilde, Trump’s ghostwriter Tony Schwartz, Rashida Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Jill Soloway, Dita Von Teese, Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, and a host of others listed here.

A postcard from Laos: exploring the curious Plain of Jars
insert_drive_file Article • 3 mins • 31 October 2017
Shafik Meghji @shafikmeghji
The Plain of Jars, in northern Laos, remains one of Southeast Asia's great mysteries. Shafik Meghji journeys here to uncover the secrets of this little-touristed site.
The most heavily bombed region of the most heavily bombed country in history appears remarkably bucolic, at least at first. But as we drive through Xieng Khouang province in northern Laos, my guide Tey casually punctures my naive first impressions. The scenic lakes? “Flooded bomb craters,” he tells me. The expansive green plains? “Poisoned by Agent Orange.”
Between 1964 and 1973, the US military carried out a bombing raid on Laos every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In total, more than two million tonnes of ordnance were dropped on the country during the Second Indochina War (as the “Vietnam” War is known locally).

Thirty percent of the bombs failed to detonate – a statistic that initially sounds relatively positive, until you learn that only one percent of these have since been cleared. The rest remain in the ground, rising unpredictably to the surface thanks to rainy season erosion, fast-growing bamboo and farmers’ ploughs. Cluster bombs are the most dangerous, and every year horrific numbers of Laotians are killed or maimed.
Given this onslaught, it is remarkable that one of Southeast Asia’s most significant – but least visited – archeological sites survived. Hundreds of huge stone jars dating back some 2000 years remain scattered across Xieng Khouang. Little is known about their origins or purpose, though theories abound.
“Archeologists believe they were funeral urns,” says Tey, as we explore Site 1, the largest jar site open to the public. “Inside were found ashes and charcoal. Some contained offerings to the spirits, others bone fragments. But there are also local legends. Some say they were used to make Lao rice whiskey, lao-lao, and carried to celebrate military victories. Others believe they were egg cups for giants.”

There are more than 330 jars at Site 1, and although 60 percent were damaged by bombs, those that have survived are remarkable. Most are made from sandstone, and the biggest one weighs around six tonnes.
Many lie on their sides, but some stand upright, and a few lean at odd, seemingly gravity-defying angles. Little is know about the Iron Age megalithic culture that built the jars, but they are testament to the fact that the region was once a major trade route, stretching from the southern Chinese coast to the Korat plains in Thailand.
Tey takes me on to Site 2, which is divided between two neighbouring hillocks. Here tree trunks and roots encircle the jars, shards of metal – the remnants of exploded bombs – crunch under out feet, and freshly painted red posts warn us not to stray off the path.
We end the day at Site 3, accessed via a rickety bridge, and surrounded by rice paddies, fish ponds and grazing cattle. This is the most scenic of the sites, and home to around 150 jars. Only the bigger ones remain in situ; the smaller ones have long since been used to build the foundations of nearby houses.
There are no other tourists, or indeed locals, and the wind carries over the gentle tinkling of cow bells. It’s a peaceful sound, I tell Tey. He smiles: “Yes. The farmers make the bells from bomb fragments.”
Explore more of Laos with the latest edition of The Rough Guide to Laos. Shafik’s tour of the jar sites was arranged by EXO Travel.

Reviews › Lycus › The Tempest
Lycus
Amidst heavy guitars, ritualistic drums and enthralling melodies, Lycus raise their head howling. The band from California brings their debut album, Tempest, their first release since their Demo MXII, and they succeed in crafting funeral doom of the highest quality. The slow pace of the songs is enriched with Lycus’s stunning melodies, mournful leads, deep growls as well as howling screams, the use of violin and clean chants. All of these give Tempest the edge it needs to become a towering example of extreme heavy music.
The sound of the band brings back memories of the excellent Asunder, especially due to the use of the solemn guitar leads, but you soon understand that Lycus are a different kind of beast. The bleak atmosphere is immediately brought forth from the first notes of the opening track, “Coma Burn.” The ambiance is set and there is no escaping this album anymore. The deep growls echo inside your mind, making your sanity shudder while the sorrowful leads and splendid violin start to affect the emotional side of the psyche.
The clean parts, for instance the one found within the second half of “Engravings,” act like sanctuaries from Lycus’s desolate musical settings. But after a while the realization hits you: these parts are just used to further lure into the bands feverish dreams of lunacy. Especially the beginning of the self-titled track has a circling hypnotic tonality to it, from which there is no escape. There is no salvation here; the only lurking emotions in this record are those of devastation, melancholy and everything between the two.
Their blackened moments are the only place where the band and the listener might find catharsis, also proving that Lycus are comfortable with speeding things up a fair bit. All three tracks include these passages, creating a perfect storm within the band’s doom mentality, the most impressive instance of their intensity being the closing track, “Tempest,” with the band patiently building up the song until it finally erupts into a devastating black metal assault before it retreats to its original funeral doom state to finally be laid to rest with an impressive eight minute long minimalistic outro.
In a genre such as funeral doom, most bands choose to try and do things the easy way, relying just on the slow pace and heavy guitars. Well, Lycus are doing much more than that. They include influences from some of the best that doom/death had to offer in the early 90s and they are defiant enough to make the extra mile in order to get a sound that is a shade darker than the rest, and it works. Tempest, is an album that shatters your mind, it creates a mesmerizing vortex of dissonance and sorrowful melody from which you will not want to turn away.

CDAS Conference: Making Community Empowerment a Reality
March 07, 2017 at 10:30am - 3:30pm
Community Development Alliance Scotland
Our communities have great potential capacities and assets to offer. But their ability to successfully make full use of these cannot be taken for granted. Action is needed to enable them to develop in response to challenges and to ensure social justice in the outcomes. That action is called community development. People are putting the values and skills involved into action in a wide range of places, dealing with many different issues, but usually with limited resources and finding support wherever they can. Our conference is a chance for people in government, in communities and elsewhere and in all sectors to come together and find their common ground.
Martin Cawley, Chief Executive, Big Lottery Fund Scotland
(invited) Kevin Stewart MSP, Minister for Local Government and Planning
The main purpose of the day will be the opportunity to learn from a wide range of groups and projects who are putting community development into practice. We will also be happy to display information about your experiences, and offer opportunities to tell others about them. You will hear from groups, and from the people who have worked with them, in a wide range of situations, including:
Community action to improve health
Community action to reduce poverty
People making a community plan for their area
Working together to develop a rural community
Mutual help for people leaving prison
Giving a voice to people involved in community care
Participatory Budgeting with young people
Cost: £50, including light lunch and refreshments (Free to community groups with income of less than £50,000 per year, but booking is essential).

Round Eye from Shanghai deliver an experimental freak punk masterpiece
“While China is hardly an apt place from which to lob brickbats against abuse of power, Round Eye’s critique is nonetheless dead-on in its depiction of the US right wing’s paranoid fantasies about Muslims, gays, the urban underclass, and non-white people.”
- Dangerous Minds
Round Eye, the experimental, sax wielding, freak punk outfit have accrued a loud and controversial name for themselves since forming in 2012. The Shanghai based group have as of late been a crucial force in bridging a wide gap between the eastern and western hemispheres of DIY punk rock. Along with blazing a trail all over the globe they’ve played host to visiting western punks and some legends as well sharing stages with acts such as The Fleshtones, MDC, Mike Watt + The Missingmen, D.O.A., The FUs, The Boys (UK), Paul Collins Beat, M.O.T.O., Ceremony, Iceage, and eastern notables such as P.K.14, SMZB, SUBS, Hang on the Box, and during a mainland tour of China with UK punk legends The Boys, they were forced to literally move the tour underground after being banned by the Ministry of Culture for lewd artwork on a tour poster.
Round Eye is currently a featured band on STEREOKILLER
They’ve won the “Best Local Band” title from Shanghai’s City Weekend magazine two years in a row. They’ve released several acclaimed music videos: “Suntan” starring famed Chinese actress Wang Lin (Xue Yi), best known for her role in the Chinese soap opera Romance in the Rain and appearances in Academy Award winning Ang Lee films such as Lust / Caution), the politically and critically charged nightmare “Billy” and “Sifter” which was entirely filmed in Pyongyang North Korea making it the very first punk video ever filmed in the DPRK. They’ve played numerous festivals around the world and honed their unconventional blend of 50s R&B, Free Jazz and Punk with a critically acclaimed EP Full Circle on Ripping Records which featured Greg Ginn (Black Flag), LP Round Eye which featured Steve Mackay (Iggy Pop & the Stooges, Violent Femmes) & Lo-fi legend R. Stevie Moore, and have recently signed and released their sophomore LP, Monstervision, on Joey Shithead of DOA’s Vancouver-based Sudden Death Records. This album was recorded by Li Wei Yu & PK 14’s Yang Haisong, narrated by former The Daily Show comedian John Bloom (Joe Bob Briggs), and is the last recordings laid to wax of the late great Steve Mackay.
They have drawn comparisons to the Stooges, Captain Beefheart, Dr. Feelgood and The Fall but have more often fallen into a category all their own. This summer had Round Eye performing Tiwan’s biggest music festival Spring Scream and hitting Europe and the UK for a 60+ date tour supporting Monstervision along with another tour of China and the US during winter and spring.
Interesting Facts:
- Round Eye filmed first punk music video in North Korea
- Round Eye won City Weekend Shanghai Best Band 2 years in a row
- Round Eye have collaborated with: Greg Ginn, Mike Watt, R. Stevie Moore, Steve Mackay, Joe Bob Briggs and Wang Lin (Xue Yi)
- Round Eye have been banned by Chinese Ministry of Culture
- Round Eye are made up of 4 Americans, 1 Italian
- Round Eye appeared as guests of Chic-a-go-go
- Recorded with Yang Haisong of Beijing Indie giants PK14
- The band has toured with: Mike Watt + Missingmen, Fleshtones, MDC, DOA, Ceremony (matador), Ice Age (matador), The Boys (uk), Paul Collins Beat, MOTO, Daikaiju and tons more.
- Round Eye is former bass player and lead singer of Libyan Hit Squad (ripping)
- The band has toured North America, Europe, and Asia several times.

Christy Lee Garren, 37, told deputies that she had been standing in the parking lot of the vacant Eckerd’s near Checker’s when a black Buick pulled in with 2 black males.
Garren, of Vero Beach, said the men asked for directions and forcibly grabbed her purse before traveling north on U.S. Highway 1 towards Micco, according to the report.
Garren said she left the “Up In Smoke” business in the Roseland Plaza before walking through the parking lot of Eckerd’s.
The victim said her “Coach” bag had 90 pills of Percocet, the report said.
The deputy went to the Up In Smoke establishment and was able to review store surveillance showing Garren entering the business for approximately two minutes.
According to the deputy, the video did not show Garren carrying a purse on or about her person as she alleged.
The report was documented and pending further investigation by authorities.

I just got back from another visit with my in-laws in Costa Rica. They still have cars that tool around through every neighborhood, broadcasting at top volume from a huge bullhorn (or sometimes, nowadays a speaker) mounted on top of the car. They seem especially fond of the very early morning hours.

When I was in high school my dad had a '61 Dodge station wagon. It was a boat but cool in its own way. With a 318 and pushbutton transmission, it was like driving a big spaceship.

This car is so ugly I actually like it. It's completely different to the ho-hum cars we see today. It doesn't look so bad in two-tone paint.

In the 1961 mayoral election, Louis J. Lefkowitz ran on a ticket with Representative Paul A. Fino of the Bronx, running for City Council president and John J. Gilhooley of Brooklyn, a former assistant secretary of labor, for city comptroller. This led to a jingle broadcast from sound trucks:
Let’s make a note
To get out and vote
For Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino
You’ll be safe in the park
Any time after dark

There’ll be new golden rules
You’ll be proud of your schools

Was voted the ugliest Plymouth ever made, according to the Plymouth Owner's Club. Very rare car nowadays. A loaded convertible is fairly pleasing to the eye now.

'Schools should neither promote nor deter religious belief'
A letter writer responds to news of a new lawsuit alleging that Bossier Parish Schools promote Christianity to students.
'Schools should neither promote nor deter religious belief' A letter writer responds to news of a new lawsuit alleging that Bossier Parish Schools promote Christianity to students. Check out this story on shreveporttimes.com: https://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/opinion/2018/02/12/schools-should-neither-promote-nor-deter-religious-belief/328788002/
Jerome McCollom, Letter to the Editor Published 9:25 a.m. CT Feb. 12, 2018
An Indiana schoolteacher is in hot water for sending a letter home asking parents to tell their children not to talk about God, Jesus or the devil in her classroom. Her actions set off a discussion on free speech. Wochit

I am always amazed that many of the same people who talk about small government are perfectly fine to have the government involved when it comes to religion.
Bossier City school officials might believe that their Christian beliefs are true and that it would be great if students believed in them, but Islamic officials might very well believe the same thing.
I don't think many people in Bossier City or Shreveport or Louisiana as a whole would be happy about Muslims pushing such beliefs though organized prayers.
There is a myth that a god has been kicked out of schools. No, the government cannot promote religion. N should it, just as it cannot promote atheism. School officials cannot tell students there is a god, and they cannot tell them there isn't a god.

Secularism is the principle that the government takes no position. Atheists are strangely condemned for "pushing atheism," but atheists don't want the government and schools telling kids there isn't a god.
Also, the idea that a god is necessary to instill morality in children is another myth.The very concept of morality is based on reducing harm and suffering. If people didn't suffer harm or pain, then morality wouldn't even be a question that we would consider. We do and should continue to use our reason (imperfect as it might be) to think about complicated moral questions. We cannot and should not rely upon a supposed god to do our thinking for us. This, by the way, is a basic foundation of humanism.
So, let's not promote or deter religion in students, but let us help children to think freely and to use their critical thinking skills while in school and the rest of their lives.

tv NEWSHOUR Al Jazeera May 6, 2018 2:00am-3:01am +03
the sunday sun routes the stink bomb. from the shah rukh's is the name under which i recorded. regular music is really kind of trip for a very young age it may come from jamaica but i feel that. the talks of are just its quality books of all people on the news of our cricket music has a message that's deeply relevant to this drug especially for a good thing this is kind of all in all the right wing assault on our freedom to os questions and generally all freedom of expression and people you know are being taught it's like students teachers activists in their class right so it's nice all of the been intimidated that some number of people on the street see the protest has reached our doorstep soul in which as a whip i'd like to attempts to contradict some of its.
this is al jazeera. has this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. more than a thousand arrested in russia in protests against president vladimir putin opposition leader alexei navalny is among them. the u.s. reestablishes the second naval fleet to patrol the atlantic and confront russia. thousands of kenyans hit by floods face worsening conditions in emergency camps. fears of more tremors after an earthquake hits hawaii as an erupting volcano forces thousands from their homes.
riot police in russia have detained opposition leader alexei navarro me as well as more than a thousand of his supporters in anti-government demonstrations he called for nationwide rallies against president vladimir putin the protests come just two days before putin's inauguration for a fourth term worry challenge reports from moscow. two days before putin's fourth presidential inauguration these russians wanted him to hear their demonstrations slogan you are not ours are not we have a fascist state a totalitarian regime we should do something about it there is no relation and russia almost like. i'm here because i disagree with the politics the government and our so-called president are leading i want to tell him that he is not ours are and that his place in the hague imprisoned. i several thousands joins the
unapproved protest in moscow thousands born. demonstrated in other cities across russia. it was almost always pushkin square they were met by a small group with very different values. and describing themselves as patriots they want to prevent a ukraine stop arising in russia yes we have currently being officially ruled by a constitution that was written for us by american specialists well under foreign rule not everyone here is not all his supporters people came here because they see that things are bad in the country but they don't understand why so and they were told by some people that it is putin to be blamed in everything people can't figure out such things for themselves their tempers started to rise and at that point the police moved in. so there were arrest that began in other parts of russia i do want
to say now they started in moscow it was the business of just grabbed a young guy out of the crowd it looked like she was crying so dragging her off to the police and. the numbers of detentions take top words protester after protester was dragged away so too was the man who calls this demonstration alexina valmy he's an anti corruption opposition leader who was banned from presidential elections because of a fraud conviction he insists was fabricated his online videos exposing the corruption of russia's ruling elite have made him a critic of the kremlin and a popular resistance figure among many russians who want something different. for friday may putin's hold on power for another six year term he's tightened control of the media and internet and made protesting much harder his assertive foreign policy is popular with many russians moscow's riot police follow detentions with the next act in their rough clearing the square the valley supporters have been
through this before and i'll probably go through it all again they feel it's their only remaining way to be heard. al-jazeera moscow. well samuel green is the director of kings russia institute at king's college in london he says in the valleys biggest challenge challenge is proving to his supporters the protests can bring change to russia it is almost impossible to estimate how much support he does or could possibly have obviously he was not allowed to contest the elections and we don't know how many people would have voted for him even if. he had been allowed or he is not visible on television and so his ability to to reach people through formal means is quite limited he has and his supporters have opened a network of volunteer centers around the country which participate in organizing these sorts of things also trying to get involved in local protest movements but the reality is that. most people in russia will not see politics either
formal politics or earth or street politics as a fruitful way of of problem solving so his or his big challenge is to to demonstrate that something can actually be achieved it's very reminiscent of what we saw around about this time in may twenty twelve just after putin the last time was was reelected there was one last protest right before his inauguration it resulted in large numbers of arrests after which a couple dozen people went to prison for fairly lengthy prison terms i have no idea whether we'll see something similar now but in both cases up until the election the government held back void of the sorts of scenes that we've seen today in order i think to prevail present the elections as relatively open relatively free and fair but then once the thing was said and done certainly wanted to say that the game's over. the u.s. navy is reestablishing its second fleet to patrol the north atlantic that's just
seven years after it was stood down as part of a buildup of russian and nato forces levels not seen for decades dion estabrook reports the us navy says its second fleet will be back in commission this summer operating out of norfolk virginia the fleet which was a limb unaided in a cost cutting move seven years ago is being reestablished to counter what the pentagon calls a rising throughout from russia at a ceremony in norfolk on friday admiral john richardson chief of naval operations said our national defense makes it clear that we are back in an era of great power competition as the security environment continues to grow more challenging and complex. russia's navy has stepped up patrols in the atlantic and both russia and nato have been building up forces in eastern europe at levels not seen in decades while russia has fewer ships than it did during the height of the cold
war u.s. officials are especially concerned about its expanded submarine fleet and increased presence in the atlantic ocean but one military expert sees this more as saber rattling than an outright threat of war i think what the russians will do is probably over time react with more submarines operating in the atlantic more messages to us that to be aware but i think that this will be kept at a relatively low level and i really don't see a huge escalation or any escalation proceeding from these actions the u.s. second fleet will be responsible for an area extending halfway across the atlantic and will include a staff of more than two hundred dian us to brooke al-jazeera. plenty more ahead on this news hour violence flaring in indian administered kashmir a protest that dies off to be run over by security forces. u.s. gun control supporters make their presence felt outside the national rifle
association's annual meeting in texas. and later a smaller legendary football manager alex ferguson is hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage tachyon will have the latest on his condition. told us still ahead but first thousands of people who took refuge in schools after losing their homes in kenya's floods are being moved into makeshift camps the government plans to reopen the schools on monday but as andrew symonds reports from the town of got to be in. the people are now facing worse conditions than before. it's a school classroom but this isn't about learning it's evil thousands of kenya's flood victims found food and shelter in schools but their stay is over it's time to move again the government wants to reopen the schools think i've got nothing in there is
no way i can refuse to move i have no place of my own anymore right now i have no peace of mind. and so the registration begins and these people are then sent on their way with some basic survival kits they're heading for a place known as the chief's camp but there's little in the way of comfort there they're all homeless with no possessions surrounded by floodwaters and there's no sign of what's going to happen next this camp may have the advantage of being on higher ground but it's a small hill top space is limited and it's overcrowded already the people have had to go elsewhere it's getting really bad for them while the weather is still wet and their conditions of got worse. they have to get
wood to support the top pullens they've been given need to do is sell shelters and there are no facilities here yet for the moment the nearest source of drinking water is a want to a round trip away by forte and it means wading through these floods no bomb no. longer. the local chief has orders to reopen schools on monday but admits facilities for the displaced place yet what do they have it's not enough about toilets are both what it's not good. these resilient people are remarkably tolerant some accept the education of their children must come first but at what cost in terms of hardship and health risk. about what we are suffering it would be better to have this elderly defined. it's difficult now moved back and forth you never know you might be more.
uncertainty like the rain clouds hangs over these people andrew simmons al-jazeera khalifi county in kenya. least four people have been killed in violence in indian administered kashmir a man died in srinagar after being run over by indian security forces and earlier at least three separatist fighters were killed during a raid by soldiers a warning you may find some images in a salomon generates report disturbing. this is the moment when an indian security vehicle crushes a protester. the vehicle drives on and the wounded man is left behind he later died of his injuries indian forces say they are investigating what happened it is now under control as regarded the other civilian system to be a circuit breaker what are the factors all these accounts. was more than
a dozen people have been killed in escalating violence in indian administered kashmir last month the un secretary general urged that the loss of civilian lives needs to be investigated. and get it's been another day of violence. this time it began when soldiers raided homes in a densely populated area in the city ocean over security forces say they had information that fighters were hiding in that area when they were asked to surrender the soldiers say the fighters started shooting opposition is going on things are under control everything is an under control the want to go look. there is not much there is no damage of a civilian property and another thing so i think that under control. all three fighters were killed by security forces during the operation police accused protesters of trying to impede their operation and help the rebels so. our
brothers who've left in the path of allah they left for us and they've taken up arms after seeing the tyranny in kashmir now we have come out to rescue our brothers. india continues to blame neighboring pakistan for. to get in trouble in the disputed region which pakistan deny it's. activists say more than seven hundred thousand indian troops and security personnel have been deployed in kashmir and the army is opposing calls to repeal a special powers act which prevents the prosecution of soldiers accused of abuses human rights watch has urged india to carry out prompt investigations into allegations of abuses and to prosecute those responsible but rights groups say thousands have already been killed in three decades of violence with no sign of reconciliation any time soon as. someone who. is in. a coal mine explosion in southwest pakistan has killed at least sixteen mine is emergency crews are trying to free dozens of workers who remain trapped in the blast in the
marwat coal fields in baluchistan was caused by a buildup of methane gas inside the mine to other workers died in a landslide nearby. an explosion in gaza has killed six members of hamas his military wing the qassam brigades the blast which injured three others happened in a residential neighborhood neighborhood in the way to hammer says those involved were trying to deal with an unexploded israeli weapon dating back from the twenty fourteen rule. of fear is an oil and gas pipeline supplying garza could take weeks to repair after it was set alight by palestinian demonstrators during friday protests witnesses to the incident say was unintentional harry force that has walked from gaza. one of those potentially damaging events that took place during the course of the six friday protest along
the gaza border came in the far south near the only cargo crossing from israeli territory into gaza where five days a week each of those days hundreds of trucks will arrive bringing food medical supplies humanitarian aid and there was a group of palestinian protesters who got into the palestinian side of that facility and set about creating extensive damage gas and fuel pipelines were set on fire as were a number of other facilities we saw evidence of that ourselves the aftermath some burnt out huts were being trucked away from the border into gaza the israeli military called it a cynical act of terror but the account that we got from one witness when we visited the protest site near the crossing was very different he said that people had been driven in the direction of the crossing by tear gas once there they opportunistically got inside and then vented their frustrations in what he said was a mistaken way and that's the time of the mob we get aid from europe and the world
through here people know what this place means it's not the plan of the protestors to burn a place like that it was a mistake official palestinian sources tell us that the damage done could run into the millions of dollars and there were fears when first it was discovered that that could take some weeks to fix up and allow this vital economic artery to flow again however what we're hearing is that despite all the accusations from the israeli military there are also concerns about the impact of that and so there are hopes at least that it will reopen as per usual on sunday we've spoken to the head of the palestinian business association here in gaza he says that the israeli military has been there from very early on saturday bringing in fresh equipment and doing what they can to make sure that things do operate again. and as soon as possible army officers senior army officers on the israeli side have been saying
for some time now that a further worsening of the humanitarian situation here in gaza would carry significant security implications for israel that seems to be a motivating factor here the united arab emirates could be removed from the saudi led coalition in yemen that's after it deployed forces to a yemeni ireland without consulting its exiled government that's according to a senior yemeni official speaking to the associated press have been further protests on the territory in the arabian sea against the u.s. military presence there it's not clear when the troops will leave saudi arabia has since sent a delegation to the island after soldiers from the u.a.e. took over a key locations there last week. a protesters have gathered outside the u.s. national rifle association's annual meeting in dallas texas kohl's for stricter gun laws have been getting loudest since a high school shooting in florida killed seventeen people earlier this year

actually care about the american people the students against guns aren't the only ones here protesting this group of civilians armed with rifles and pistols who are legally allowed to carry their weapons in public are also making their voices heard they have a very different point of view their constitutional right to bear arms that's two sides clashing bringing to stark relief to very different america just exercise or second amendment rights we'd like to show that just because you have again you're not going to go shoot children but children have been the casualties of gun violence leaving grieving parents and a divided country in their wake. castro al-jazeera dallas the unveiling of a statue of car mocks has sparked both celebration and protest in the german city of trio the sculpture marks two hundred years since the philosopher's birth it was a gift from the chinese government some groups rallied against human rights abuses
in china while others wanted to highlight exploitation in capitalism marx remains a controversial figure especially among germans who lived under soviet control after the second world war. are people from the caribbean invited to work in britain after world war two have marched in london they were protesting after a government policy scandal threatened their right to live in the country after decades their members of the so-called wind rushed generation took their protest directly to prime minister theresa may so you're going to go was there. but. the call for amnesty for victims of a scandal that goes to the heart of the british government a scandal that's affected thousands of people of caribbean origin and their fight to remain in the country meant to be their home i still have friends who were affected by the rules some people i know would send back on planes in the middle of
the night we couldn't do anything about it because by because batman stories so open the wind rushed generation who went to britain between one nine hundred forty eight one thousand nine hundred seventy one were vital in rebuilding the nation after the second world war but for many the right to remain in the u.k. has been fraught with difficulties by government blunders no records were kept or those who will grant to permission to stay permanently and no paperwork was issued to confirm it and in twenty ten the british home office destroyed landing cards that belonged to wind migrants risking the status of people who have been living here illegally in the u.k. for decades many of those affected lost their jobs and where denied access to health care benefits and pensions they were even threatened with deportation while the government has promised to resolve the when brought within two weeks there are still so many unanswered questions and just last week the ruling party voted
against the release of secret documents relating to the wentworth crisis saying that it was disproportionate during last week's prime minister's questions reason may promise more transparency into how such wrongful deportations and detentions occurred but so far she has resisted discarding further immigration controls despite increasing pressure we all share the ambition to make sure we do right by members of the win dress generation and that's why he will be announcing a package of measures to bring transparency on the issue to inform make sure the house is informed to reassure members of his house but more importantly to reassure those p. who have been directly affected under emergency government measures thousands of people will be offered the chance to obtain british citizenship free of charge as well as the right to compensation for those affected it is perhaps too little too late the little you like here and there telling you you don't belong oh
well you know the anger and hurt of a generation who were betrayed by a country be believed in sunnydale egle al-jazeera london. two people have died and tens of thousands of homes are without electricity in the canadian provinces of ontario and quebec after powerful winds brought down power lines and toppled trees gusts of up to one hundred kilometers an hour been recorded the winds have been blamed for the deaths of two people in southern ontario thousands of people have been forced to move off to a magnitude six point nine earthquake shook her wise big island the biggest to hit the area in decades that comes after the eruption of killer whale volcano which began spewing lava on thursday several quakes tremors have struck since then molten lava could be seen bubbling through cracks on streets in the states and lenny poona gardens neighborhood from where people have been ordered to leave let's go live now
to a state in hawaii from where rob rob reynolds joins us so rob what are the latest warnings for people in the affected area. well the latest information that just came out from the authorities here in hawaii is that five houses have been burned in the leyline is states as a result of these then it's with burning lava opening up states is just over in that direction past the roadblock that you see manned by some a hole why the national guards. troops in addition the hawaii volcano observe a spear observatory says that the eruptive activity associated with the mt killer whale is ongoing and is expected to continue fortunately there are no reports of
anyone losing their lives or of anyone being seriously injured in any of this despite a rather large earthquake that happened on friday and shook people up a six point nine magnitude that damaged some structures including we're told a school people do want to try to get back into their homes i talked to a man not long ago didn't want to be interviewed on camera but he was somewhat distraught because he said he had a sick dog at home he wanted to get in and get it out and give it some medicine and take to safety but he was not able to. go into the affected area and he left late at night without being able to evacuate as pets so a lot of people did leave with very minimal possessions once this eruption began and rob are there any large population centers stand and risk.
well that's that's an upside if you will to to this. this is the nearest large city is maybe fifty kilometers away it's called hilo and it has about fifty thousand inhabitants but it is nowhere in any of the flow or none of the events have opened up in any of those areas so what is usually happened now with this volcano is it's been erupting for thirty years more than thirty years but usually the bag goes through underground channels and eventually makes its way out to sea where it makes it actually adds to the coastline makes a little bit larger every day but in this instance what happened last week was that there was some shift and the caldera that was full of lava it emptied and it began moving through different channels some of those channels underneath leylandii estates and other of these rural small communities which then opened up and people
we talked to said they opened up in the middle of the night they could smell sulfur dioxide gas very heavily and hear what sounded like cannon fire as molten lava begins shooting up out of these vents in the ground rob reynolds live for us there in hawaii. that's the end why is this woman this condition was way worse after an operation in mexico and she's not the only one. who are in lebanon ahead of the first parliamentary elections in nine years the willing new electoral system bring about change. and in sport a nasty incident sour as the pinnacle of australian football tachyon it will be here with more.
well last twenty four hours or of produce storms in both texas and in doing and then actually in toronto to be honest that was the head of the cat that went through fairly windy weather in the tail end this cold front where it's warm has been injected most chagaev the stormy stuff now the cold front itself is going to swing through such the sunday is dollars hasse's it has been still sent to new york for a fairly wet new york the look of it twenty one in washington and the temp is pretty good further west got some clouds coming into washington state still a little bit of snow on the very top so the highest drama not washington thinks it's a cloudy picture to be honest and then it's gone quiet again i mean monday looks like a fine day similar sort of temperature regime nineteen to twenty one eastern seaboard but that's a good ten degrees down from a couple of days ago the most active weather actually i'm probably going to be in hearts for the tailing cold front is this massive cloud here look at the shot back edge to the cloud that suggests active some storms indeed there were but five
thousand thunderstorms reported yesterday i know it seems a lot is based on lightning flashes was an active massive cloud still circulating through cuba jamaica haiti the bahamas or the small rollins and back to florida not its progress over the next two days. what began as a small extremist group in africa's most populous country we didn't get them to from the government to just shoot him soon turned into a battle front for the nigerian government how do you know why. the torrijos for abducting more than two hundred schoolgirls the killing and displacement of thousands of people al-jazeera investigates the origins bloody rise of folk who were robbed on al-jazeera. the nature of news as it breaks this is one of the areas where protesters had blocked the road to see higher
than anything else they could find with details coverage of this extremely. troubling. site from around the world this museum aims to be aware positive region's history and its projected war that has divided tribes here for generations . but again you're watching i just did a reminder of our top stories this hour riot police in russia have detained opposition leader. as well as more than a thousand of his supporters in anti government demonstrations he had called for
nationwide rallies against president vladimir putin the protests come ahead of putin's inauguration this week for a fourth term. at least four people have been killed in violence in indian administered kashmir a man died in srinagar after being run over by an indian security vehicle and earlier at least three separatist fighters were killed during a raid by soldiers. the united arab emirates could be removed from the saudi led coalition in yemen that's after it deployed forces to a yemeni army and without consulting its government had been further protests on the territory in the arabian sea against the u.s. military presence there. and al jazeera investigation has found that hundreds of mexicans have undergone experimental and unregulated men. procedures by the country's flagship neurological institute over
a fourteen year period the patients were fitted with a device meant to drain fluid from the brain but in some cases it made their condition worse john harmon has part one of this investigation. it's painful feel and a to look back at the time before she was hit by hydrocephalus a debilitating condition in which excess fluid builds up in the brain it's left her with massive headaches and speech problems. everything changed because i was a sports woman before i spent twenty years doing sports and i sold clothing everything and that she hoped that an operational cruise flagship institute for neurology and neurosurgery would help her but what she didn't know was that doctors would hope with an experimental and the north arise device. and not just her four hundred seventy three other patients who went to the facility so implanted they
were essentially guinea pigs in an unofficial trial carried out over a period of fourteen years they never asked me anything before operating they said something to my husband but never that they were going to do an experiment. three doctors working at the institute at the time spoke to al-jazeera all said that like you learned the nearly five hundred patients weren't told the device was unauthorized nor nobody's case file included an informed consent about the experimental nature of the device not one. the national institute has refused to clarify if patients were informed or not but we got access to six patient falls this is what's key to all of this the medical consent form in one of the cases and it's very general it doesn't mention that this is an experimental device that hasn't been authorized by the health ministry. but that's not all the three doctors
out to syria thought to say the device was simply a tube that relied on gravity to drain away fluid from the brain down to the stomach area and that relying on gravity meant that if a patient lay down it would flow back other devices used valves to stop that. it's just a tube it's technology from the fifty's it doesn't represent any sort of progress by a published studies the inventor of the two claimed it's precisely calculated diameter did regulate flow and stop fluid going back to the brain even when patients were climbed he said it worked better than valve eula devices. doctors told us several patients had to have the device replaced but it's unclear how many suffered from any ill effects the names of those implanted have been released a many came from poor remote communities is a problem. it's a problem especially with patients without much money they feel ok and they go
there last. year learned that was able to have another device fitted several years ago but the health continues to worsen at this point hopes of getting better or for justice a fading john home and. mexico city and john has more from mexico in the second part of this special agent investigation he explores how the unregulated practices were allowed to be carried out and discovers the consequences for all involved that's on al-jazeera on sunday. a peace talks between the colombian government and the e l n rebel group will move to cuba and the original host ecuador hold its support for the talks they started or four fifteen months ago in quito after more than fifty years of fighting ecuador stopped hosting the talks after two ecuadorian journalists and their driver were killed by
a former far quibbles. people in lebanon will head to the polls on sunday in the first parliamentary elections in the nine years five hundred candidates of campaign promising stability and economic growth the country is divided along sectarian lines raising questions over what political changes may result. it will be the first parliamentary election in nearly a decade polls were repeatedly postponed until a new electoral law was agreed proportional representation has replaced lebanon's winner takes all system but some are criticizing the new law for benefiting the ruling political class who have been forging unlikely electoral alliances just to stay in power their main objective is to increase the number of seats. number of seats and. the new law is supposed to give a chance to first time hopefuls but breaking the establishment decades long hold on
power is not easy the problem is that the civil society represents. not one group now they say that they are. just to say that. in reality they are. i and the only parties that formed joint torah lists at a national level they have long dominated the muslim political landscape but they are facing opposition from within limited but a challenge nevertheless and that is why hezbollah has been campaigning extra hard . against a. new things you know i don't know to what extend this would change the political scene one thing will change prime minister saddle had it he will lose seats because of the way electoral districts are carved out but he is expected to be the sunni leader with the biggest bloc in parliament he does however face opposition from within his community with some blaming him for not taking us.
hardline stance against the iranian backed has. a. chance to prove that he's a strong leader and can be the next prime minister. christian candidates are also battling for leadership of their community the polls will determine their popularity a few years before they vie for the presidency a post reserved maronite christian. action the long established political divisions of the past are now god. and the pro saudi march fourteenth coalition march fourteenth. military power which is stronger than the lebanese army has been shelved at least for the time being. lebanon's rival politicians have been focusing instead on securing their power if the hope was to bring about a new generation of leaders that likely will not happen there may be some changes
within parliament but there is a general consensus that these elections will not major changes to the political landscape. of people living below the poverty line and hoping the current political upheaval will bring improvements to their lives decades of financial crisis and corruption mean around a third of people unemployed with many facing difficulties making ends meet natasha name reports. it's dark there are electrical wires haphazardly strong and it smells like sewage this is the hallway of a one nine hundred sixty s. dormitory built for construction workers where impoverished families with no other options now live on this morning social workers are paying a visit to rita nizer yachts eight family members are packed into this apartment

more detail than we have mapped the surface of the earth but the most intriguing aspect of mars is what lies beneath not just deep in mars which we know nothing about but also closer to the surface the first half kilometer of mars is where there could potentially be life still harbored against safe against the radiation that would otherwise kill it so this mission will provide us with new information about the conditions in the subsurface of mars and combined with the european nation that is a vow to report to us from orbit around mars we hope by the end of this year to have a much better fix on whether there is life still underneath the surface of mars we may be living in the age of social media but research has found loneliness is becoming a serious public health problem and isolation is causing harm to people's physical
health as gave reports from new york. a person off in the distance alone in their thoughts sitting in a park in darkness a portrait of a man walking in the snow all by himself a young man playing basketball with nobody else around all pictures of people in new york in situations of solitude perhaps loneliness. to court a sick polish photographer snapped the pictures he says he can relate to the subjects he moved to new york city four years ago knew almost no one and discovered many people suffered from loneliness just by chance many of his photographs were of people alone you know you come here and you are busy with your work life and then you realize that all your family all your friends and social life and then in many ways is behind and i was used to it but i talked to a lot of people
a lot of new york is here my friends are strangers. and the theme of loneliness just kept coming back according to a study sponsored by cigna the global health an insurance company americans are alarmingly lonely and being alone can bring about serious health risks. research has been done that has shown loneliness the linked to heart disease diabetes depression substance use and other chronic illness as well the study was focused on the u.s. researchers say the numbers are similar in other parts of the world but perhaps what stood out most in the study young people between each gene and twenty two years old scored higher than any other age group in the loneliness survey horrible or lonely than people seventy two and older researchers aren't exactly sure why but they say high social media consumption does not help. we've all seen it a million times young people in parks like this and instead of sitting next to
family and friends and talking hunched over their phones like this checking social media in social media is very anti social as for luke courtis he is not trying to start a social commentary about loneliness with his pictures he simply discovered taking pictures of people usually showed more often than not the people were alone gabriels on doe new york still ahead on al-jazeera getting closer to nature why this japanese cross when left his job as a mechanic to learn the discipline of growing trees. and in sport it's a fight for survival in the english premier league way even a victory why not be enough.

avoid relegation with a dramatic win over the top men anything short of a victory would have seen the baggies go down but jake livermore struck in the ninety first minute as they dons but as one nil. the result means the fourth place tottenham on get guaranteed a place in next season's champions league west picked up a crucial victory at leicester southampton live to fight another day off the door and with everton stoke city all going down to the second to the last two one to crystal palace means that out of the premier league for the first time in ten years . he said the motion of the games is still mine. is still there so it's difficult to answer. probably when you answer but i'm going for everybody the book club support was a little bit because of there's a blowing club. in a rebuild and we really strong not too is a bit overly broad in that we were strong so here's what about all means the three

history was the old elease home an al-jazeera. it's the opening weekend of the champions league across africa defending champions we doubt katha blanka played out a one one draw with the mamelodi sundowns who clinched the foul african premier league title last weekend in the other games on saturday togolese de putin's porte were beaten two one by her royal of guinea and algeria zia the taif with russia for one by t.p. mazembe a from the democratic republic of congo cycling now and italian rider viviana has taken the second stage at the judo the italia the first three stages of the race taking place in israel viviane a finish the one hundred sixty seven kilometer leg from haifa to television in under four hours for dennis hopefully to pink jersey the australian taking it from dutch while champion thomas to milan who won the opening stage in jerusalem
and that is all this ball for now more later to japan now in the ancient tradition of bonsai or creating miniature trees we speak to a bonsai cross from inside thomas who says he listens to the voices of the trees as he works his his story. co-operative through my name is. a bonsai craftsman. i was a mechanic at toyota before this i had nothing to do with it until one day i visited a grower and as soon as i said put into his place i knew instantly that i was going to quit my job and start working with. bonsai is grown in a pot but cultivating it also involves creating trees that inspire scene resent the natural world. i find beauty in trees when they're healthy and full
of life instead of in the shape. i used to be very ambitious in how i transform the trees some of which were the most admired and respected in japan but when i turned thirty seven i realized how much i had damaged them and then suddenly i heard their screams saying we're alive just like you i felt strangled this experience changed me completely. i try to understand what the best conditions are for each tree and deciding on the spot what i need to do now what i shouldn't do and what can't wait. the trees taught me not to force my own a statics upon them that's why i study hard to understand how the trees the sun and the wind can best work together. i give them only moderate amounts of water and fertilizer it encourages the trees to grow the roots out. it's important to give
them the strength to survive and thrive on their own. some are more than a thousand years old the junipers are around four to five hundred years old it's astonishing but i'm equally moved by the life force of plants growing from the seeds or cuttings. the trees grow into certain shapes to thrive and i respect that what i try to do is bring out their beauty so that more people can appreciate and take good care of them i think that's the job of a craftsman even if they're highly valued i would say that their true bond unless your heart feels at peace looking at them you'd give the trees all your love and pass them on because they will outlive you by hundreds and thousands of years. well that's it for this news hour back with more news in two minutes.

You’d be surprised at how many 'here today, gone tomorrow' things we collect at the Library: posters, junk mail, comics, menus, art exhibition catalogues, postcards, press clippings, calendars, invitations, theatre programmes, political stickers, badges and flyers. The focus is on Victoria and Victorians, though we hold many items from around Australia as well.
Why keep ephemera? We keep it because most people don’t. Ephemera is made to be short-lived. It’s produced to advertise a new restaurant opening, the next state election, a play at the local theatre, tomorrow night’s pub band or a country town’s heritage walk. And usually it gets thrown away once the event is over.
But ephemera also reveals much about how ordinary lives are lived. It is an important record of social life, popular culture and local history.
Most ephemera is donated to the Library, though occasionally we buy items. Our collection ranges from the 1850s to yesterday’s how-to-vote card. As there is so much to collect, we select the types and topics that are most likely to be useful to future researchers.
Ephemera from 19th-century exhibitions
The art of revolution: political posters in the RedPlanet Archive
Australia’s oldest surviving printed document
We collect posters, magazines, newspapers, food labels, billboards, catalogues and even junk mail – all showcasing the art of persuasion in Victoria, past and present.
Political ephemera
The Library's collection of political ephemera is an invaluable resource for researching the social and political movements that have rocked Victoria.
Theatre programmes
The Library collects programmes, publicity brochures and handbills from theatrical productions, comedy shows, circus performances and more.
Explore our collections by theme
Discover the amazing breadth of our collections by theme, from art to war and Australian history.

NNAMDI OGBONNAYA
with Options, Seasaw
Downstairs, All Ages
DOORS: 7:00 PM // SHOW: 8:00 PM
$13 / $15
NNAMDI OGBONNAYA is a multi-instrumentalist composer, producer, and performer. His musical identity was forged in the DIY community of Chicago. Relentless participation in numerous musical projects bridged genres and created inroads between scenes. Near constant activity quickly made him a locus of gravity in the community. Constant participation quickly opened channels to a broad cross-section of the arts world. Nnamdi has toured the USA, Mexico Europe and Canada with projects ranging from punk to jazz. A full accounting of his musical activity over the last eight years includes approximately 15 bands and dozens of tours. All the while, Nnamdi has not only released a stream of records and EPs under his name and the ironic moniker “Nnamdi’s Sooper Dooper Secret Side Project”, but also runs his own label called SOOPER Records.
His solo styling combines hip-hop, experimental rock, gospel, and jazz. His songs can often contain a sense of satire that is just as humorous as it is critical. Nnamdi’s lyrical insights draw on the diversity of his cultural experience as a Black, Jewish, first generation Nigerian-American. His work is characterized by the coupling of sophisticated compositional structures with pop-music motifs. Nnamdi’s latest record DROOL is his most mature and accessible work to date.

by Tammy Kwan on December 12th, 2018 at 1:45 PM
Most people who are reading this story may have moved past the concept of Santa and his bag full of toys, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get the same giddy excitement in our veins when opening up a holiday gift—especially when it’s an item that you’ve had in your online shopping cart for the past three months.
If you know an aficionado or two of the culinary arts, we’ve rounded up a few items that may even score you invites to some tasty home-cooked meals. From a slow cooker to a pasta machine, here are six kitchen gadgets that make great gifts.
They say the kitchen is where the magic happens, and we don’t disagree. If you know a few hobby chefs obsessed with cooking and a bit of Disney, go for Le Creuset’s Mickey Mouse round French oven ($399). The famed French cookware company has partnered up with one of the world’s biggest brands to create this whimsical enamelled cast-iron product. Bright red and adorned with Mickey-shaped embellishments and a stainless-steel knob, this cookware is ideal for slow cooking, braising, and roasting. We can guarantee that die-hard lovers of the house of mouse will appreciate this gift, even if they rarely whip up meals.
Find it on Le Creuset's website.
Ming Wo
Precise Measurements
Ever make a dish that didn’t taste quite right because you decided to measure the ingredients by hand? To avoid potential culinary disasters, go for Joseph Joseph’s Shell compact digital scale ($79.98). This sleek and futuristic-looking product features an integrated measuring bowl, LCD display, and various controls. Convenient for weighing liquids, solids, and multiple ingredients at once, this versatile gift will make baking and cooking much more efficient. Who knows? You may even receive a batch of holiday cookies in return.
Find it at Ming Wo (various locations).
Gourmet Warehouse
Cooking Slow
There’s nothing better than coming home to a fully prepared meal such as garlic-Parmesan chicken, buffalo ranch wings, or paella—all of which can be easily made with one specific cookware item. Give the gift of culinary ease with All Clad’s 6.5-quart slow cooker ($189.99), which comes with a black ceramic insert and digital display. Fully programmable and dishwasher-safe, this popular product can slowly cook everything from appetizers to entrées to desserts. Once you wrap up this baby, the hardest part will be deciding whether to keep it for yourself or become another person’s favourite gift giver.
Find it at the Gourmet Warehouse (1340 East Hastings Street).
Cook Culture
Italian-food lovers will agree that fresh pasta is the Holy Grail, thanks to that cuisine’s large array of gourmet offerings. Marcato’s Atlas Wellness 150 pasta machine ($99) is likely on many food lovers’ wish lists—made with light alloy, its aluminum rollers don’t release heavy metals and resist corrosion. This cookware can create everything from fettuccine to ravioli to lasagna, which can definitely impress guests. It simultaneously serves as a great arm workout, because it features a hand-operated cutter that will require the user to exert energy.
Find it at Cook Culture (various locations).
Versatile Eggs
Know an egg-obsessed individual? Surprise them with the Dash rapid egg cooker ($28) in a fun aqua hue, which can add a bit of charisma to dull-looking kitchens. We wonder why this invention—known to cook perfect eggs in less time than needed to boil water—hasn’t gone mainstream. Equipped with a boiling tray that can hold up to six eggs, and a separate nonstick poaching tray that can poach two eggs, this is a versatile goody that can also make omelettes and scrambled eggs. Receivers of this gift will never be able to cook eggs the old way again.
Find it on Indigo's website.
Frozen Dessert
Ice cream never goes out of season, and Vancouverites often attest to that fact by eating frozen treats around town even when the temperature drops below zero. Cuisinart’s stainless-steel ice-cream maker ($99.95) is the perfect gift for frozen-dessert fanatics and can create everything from ice cream to frozen yogurt to sorbet. It features a double-walled insulated freezer bowl and can make two quarts of frozen treats in a single batch. A clear-plastic lid at the top allows for mix-ins like nuts and chocolate chips, and recipes are also included. What better way to say “Happy holidays” than with a present that practically screams “Make me some ice cream!”?
Find it at Williams-Sonoma (2903 Granville Street).

Shays: Did McMahon trade WrestleMania tix for endorsement?

A month before endorsing Linda McMahon for the U.S. Senate, photos show John Slater, the Republican Town Committee chairman of Bridgeport, mugging for the cameras ringside at WrestleMania XXVIII in South Florida.
Now the campaign of McMahon rival Christopher Shays is publicly calling into question the dynamics of that endorsement, which a spokeswoman for the former congressman and Bridgeport resident characterized as curious.
"I find it interesting that John Slater went to WrestleMania in Miami, and soon after he returned came out and endorsed Linda McMahon," said Amanda Bergen of the Shays campaign.
Slater vehemently denied accepting any kind of freebie from McMahon, saying he attended the April 1 wrestling extravaganza on his own dime. He furnished Greenwich Time with a photo of his Webster Bank statement and his ticket stub from the event showing that he paid $355 for a central riser seat at WrestleMania. The McMahon campaign announced Slater's endorsement May 8.
"If they're insinuating a bribe, which I can prove never happened, that's totally wrong," Slater said. "If that's the road that his campaign is now taking, it shows another reason why not to vote for him, because it's a lie."
A campaign spokeswoman for McMahon, whose family runs WWE (formerly World Wrestling Entertainment), condemned the Shays campaign for suggesting that Slater was comped at WrestleMania in return for his endorsement.
"Congressman Shays continues to disrespect delegates and leaders across the state with accusations that they can be bought," Erin Isaac wrote in an email on behalf of McMahon.
Slater is one of 95 RTC chairmen to endorse McMahon, who also has the backing of 30 town committees out of the 169 municipalities in Connecticut going into Friday's state Republican convention in Hartford.
Isaac attributed their support to what she characterized as McMahon's proven track record of job creation and plan to put people back to work and cut taxes for the middle class.
"They are NOT supporting Congressman Shays because he is a professional politician who will say or do anything to get elected," Isaac wrote. "The Shays campaign must be increasingly desperate if they are spending the days leading up to convention combing delegate Facebook pages for more baseless accusations to sling at our campaign."
The Shays campaign provided Greenwich Time with photos it obtained from Slater's Facebook profile showing him with an unidentified male friend at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., with the WrestleMania stage, mammoth fake palm trees and a steel cage in the background.
Slater was wearing a T-shirt with the words "Boots to Asses," the rally cry of "The Rock," Dwayne Johnson, who defeated John Cena in his return to the ring at WrestleMania.
A pair of photos, also lifted by the Shays campaign off Facebook and apparently taken with a camera phone, show wrestling match sequences from the vantage of field-level seats in the massive football stadium.
"I have a group of friends who I have gone to this (with) for years," Slater said. "Every single one was on my own dime. Linda didn't even know I was there."
WrestleMania is the equivalent of the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. This year's installment drew 78,363 fans to the home stadium of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, where ticket prices ranged from $25 to a staggering $9,000 that was being asked by one seller of a ringside seat on the website StubHub.com.
Slater said he paid $350 for his ticket to WrestleMania, which McMahon's campaign confirmed at the time that the former WWE chief executive officer would be attending.
"I didn't endorse her because of wrestling," said Slater, who became Bridgeport RTC chairman about a 1 1/2 months ago.
Between ticket and merchandise sales, pay-per-view orders and travel packages, the 2011 installment of WrestleMania, held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, generated $36 million in gross revenues, according to WWE.
"Linda has lived the American dream through hard work and sweat equity," Slater said. "I am supporting Linda McMahon because she is the better candidate."

Preparing homes, apartments for the Big One
Mostly simple and economical steps taken now can help residents avoid injury and damage in the event of a disaster.
Preparing homes, apartments for the Big One Mostly simple and economical steps taken now can help residents avoid injury and damage in the event of a disaster. Check out this story on statesmanjournal.com: http://stjr.nl/1T4uGvc
Carol McAlice Currie, Statesman Journal Published 1:51 p.m. PT May 7, 2016 | Updated 2:42 p.m. PT March 17, 2017
Consider anchoring shelves to the wall to prevent them from toppling in an earthquake.(Photo: Getty Images)
You know that cherished framed picture of four generations of family hanging over your bed?
Such is the advice of earthquake experts who are hoping to help residents prepare for a magnitude 9.0 or greater Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.You might want to move it.
Living in the western halves of Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Southern British Columbia leaves residents vulnerable to a large-scale quake along this megathrust fault, which stretches about 600 miles (1,000 km) from Northern Vancouver Island, BC to Cape Mendocino, California. Depending on whom you talk to, this quake could happen any time in the next 50 years to 150 years, so the recommendation is to prepare now because earthquakes don't come with warning sirens.
Beyond assembling a disaster-preparedness kit to last 10 days or more and making a plan with family members, there are a number of steps homeowners and apartment dwellers should take to prepare for earthquake.
Before an earthquake or other natural disaster hits
According to the American Red Cross Northwest Oregon Chapter, residents should identify safe places in the home, workplace or school setting, and share them with family members or colleagues. These should be places under sturdy furniture or against an interior wall far away from windows (flying glass accounts for a high number of injuries during natural disasters) and bookcases.
Residents should also set up a third-party contact of out state or the area. Family members, if separated by work or school, if phone are working, should call this third party and let them know they are safe. That contact can also share the status of all family members among them.
It's important to practice, especially with young children, the drill of "drop, cover and hold." This differs slightly from previous instructions of just taking cover.
According to Evelyn Roeloffs, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey office in Vancouver, Washington, the shaking from an earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is expected to last three to five minutes. Shallow or crustal quakes along the San Andreas Fault, conversely, last from a few seconds to less than a minute, said Doug Gibbons, a research scientist assistant at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"So we want people to hold onto to something because the shaking is going to last longer and the item they're under could move," Gibbons said.

Every preparedness kit should have a strong flashlight, spare batteries and spare bulbs in it, but it's also recommended that a flashlight, batteries and sturdy pair of shoes be kept in a plastic bag tied to a bed post as well, said Roger Stevenson, emergency response manager for the city of Salem during a Community Emergency Response Team training session in March.
"Think about it, if the quake happens in the middle of the night and windows start breaking, you hop out of bed into broken glass," Stevenson said. "This way you find your shoes and flashlight immediately and are much safer at the start." He also cautioned that the soles of sneakers are not the same as the soles of heavy work boots. Glass shards can pierce many a sneaker sole, he warned.
One of the most important steps to take is to ensure that homes are anchored to their foundations. Many homes built in the '60s and earlier have wood resting directly on the foundation's mud sill and builders at that time did not bolt the mud sill to the foundation, which means in an earthquake of prolonged shaking, the home is weakened and can slide off its foundation.
Steve McGuire, Lane County's Building Official, has spent the past 10 years training engineers, architects, building inspectors and others for certification as post-earthquake inspectors for the state. He agreed home and apartment owners should know of the risks an unsecured building.
"The longer the earthquake, the more cycles occur and repeated cycles, like a pendulum swaying from side to center to side and back, weaken the structure. Prolonged shaking puts all connections at risk, and this can cause buildings to slide off their foundations or overturn."
McGuire said personal responsibility is critical to the recovery or resiliency of communities.
"If people bolt their homes to their foundations and they don't slide off, that means fewer homes are destroyed and first responders won't have as many homes to respond to. This makes a community more resilient. It recovers more quickly and it's better off financially because businesses aren't moving out. They can maintain employment. It all starts with individuals."
McGuire said the state upgrades Oregon Administrative Rules, which give cities the authority to set building codes and standards, regularly. He said the OARs identified seismic risk and upgraded them in the mid '80s.
Rebai Tamerhoulet, the building and safety division administrator for the city of Salem's Community Development Department, confirmed that the city follows OAR 918-460 and 480. The building and safety division said "any house reviewed and permitted after May 1986 should be attached to the foundation."
Jeremy Anderson, general manager of Total Comfort Weatherization in northeast Salem, said his company offers seismic retrofitting, and as awareness about the risk has grown, he has seen an increased interest in his company's work.
He said many homes in the Mid-Valley that were built in the 1960s and earlier, a standard ranch home, for instance, are unlikely to have frames anchored to their foundations. He said the typical job of connecting the concrete portion of a foundation to the wood frame usually includes connecting posts to beams as well.
Anderson said most of the work can be done in the home's crawl space without entering the home. It usually takes about two to three days and ranges in price from about $3,000 to $5,000. He said his company can also arrange financing for this type of project.
Brent Culver, owner of the Brent Culver State Farm Insurance Agency, said most insurance companies won't insure an older home unless it's bolted to the foundation. With about a third of his clients carrying earthquake coverage, he said the ones who've moved from California are pleased when they arrive in Oregon to be paying considerably less than they did when they lived in the Golden State.
He said the deductible on an earthquake policy can be high, typically 15 percent of dwelling coverage, but he said there is a lot of misinformation out there about why earthquake insurance is needed.
"Many people cross their fingers and expect someone else to come to the rescue," Culver said. But while there will be low-interest federal-government loans in the event of a disaster, this loan doesn't forgive the original mortgage.
McGuire agreed. "There is this misunderstanding about how disaster loans work," he said.
Other ways to make a home more earthquake resilient
Bolt and brace water heaters and other gas appliances to wall studs. This work can be done by most homeowners, though companies such as Total Comfort Weatherization can do it as well.
Bolt bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture to wall studs. Braces for this purpose are sold at most hardware and building supply stores.
Hang heavy items such as framed pictures and mirrors away from beds, couches, and anywhere people sleep or sit.
Brace heavy overhead lights such as chandeliers and other glass lighting fixtures.
Install latches or bolts to the inside of cabinets. Larger or heavier items should be close to the floor. Keeping cabinets from flying open reduces the chance for broken glass on the inside from flying out.
Have a wrench or four-way turn-off tool for shutting off personal gas and water valves, and have it in your earthquake kit or nearby. Do not hang it on the pipe to avoid having someone else turn it off for you.
Bruce Anderson, spokesman for NW Natural Gas, had a couple of cautions for homeowners about shutting off the gas. First, it should be safe to do so, he said.
"And if you don't smell the rotten egg smell of natural gas in the event of an earthquake, you shouldn't turn off your gas meter," Anderson said. "You can, if you feel you need to. But if you do shut it off, you'll need to have a service tech from NW Natural out to your home to check your appliances and gas equipment to make sure everything is in proper working order. They can then safely turn on the gas and relight the pilot lights."
He said this might be delayed if roads and bridges are damaged by the earthquake.
Understanding your environs
Most officials also remind residents to know their environment both at home and at work.
Following earlier stories, a number of readers emailed or called to ask about the possibility of Mid-Valley dams breaking during a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. No one can predict how the three dams in the Mid-Valley, the Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River, and the Green Peter and Foster dams on the South Santiam River, will hold due to a number of variables including the water level (time of year), said Amy Echols, a spokeswoman for the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Dam Safety Program. There are 10 other smaller dams stretching down to the Eugene/Springfield area.
But the corps does not anticipate failure, she said, because it consistently upgrades the dams and conducts regular inspections of them.
"They are maintained to ensure the best possible condition," Echols said. "We do structural inspections, visual and mechanical inspections. We try to identify deficiencies and potential risks. We practice and drill and track everything and log for further action. There are 600 dam structures nationwide, and we put in our priorities for Congressional funding."
With lots of new development, residents should be aware of levees and downstream vulnerabilities, she said.
"Know your path for evacuation above or below a damn, and make sure you're in touch with your local city. Our job is to inform county and state officials, it's up to the city to tell folks downstream."
And for those who don't want to wait, the state has a site where residents can plop in their address and find out the degree of shaking experts expect for that address.

A Permanent Tattoo Vending Machine Now Exists
Nothing temporary about this.

If you've ever wanted fresh ink but been unsure of a design, now there's an app for that. Just kidding — but there is a tattoo vending machine available at Elm Street Tattoo Parlor in Dallas, Texas as part of their new "Get What You Get" program. Yes, a vending machine. Not unlike the ones that Uniqlo just popped into airports across the country.
But it's not like you pop a quarter in, out pops a temporary design you've seen a million times, and you're done. The cost is expensive: According to the Dallas Observer, a "Get What You Get Tattoo" costs $100. If you've pulled a sketch you're not in love with, you can put down $20 more for another go-round with the bubblegum-machine look-alike. (Note: You don't need to pay in quarters.)
You don't need to worry about the design itself, either: Nothing cheesy will make its way into the vending machine. "They're all good ones — old-school snakes, devil heads," a shop employee told the Observer of the tattoo designs. While it's a surefire gamble as to which tattoo you'd receive, the designs will be doled out from the tattoo vending machine on a first-come, first-serve basis. If there's no line at the shop, you can hop in and get inked at that very moment, but it's likely you'll have to make an appointment with one of the artists.
Although the "Get What You Get Tattoo" program was purported as first-come, first-serve, the same store employee also believes that the Elm Street Tattoo "is going to do it forever. But we just started doing it. We may do it for a month or two and see what it does."
If you're in Dallas, looking to get a tattoo and have no idea what kind of design you'd like (after browsing these), may we suggest gambling with your luck?

Abilene Biologist Studies Impact Of Drought
The impact of sustained drought doesn’t just affect water levels.
By Joy BonalaFebruary 22, 2016 9:30 amAbilene Public Radio, Health & Science, Partner Organizations
Joy Bonala/KACU
Terrence Boyle, McMurry University Assistant Professor of Biology (left) and freshman Brianna Littlefield use a secchi disk to measure water clarity Saturday, January 30 at Hubbard Creek Lake in Breckinridge, Texas. Boyle is in the second year of his four-year research project to establish a baseline data set for plankton, periphyton and macrobenthic organisms found in local reservoirs.
This story originally appeared on Abilene Public Radio.
On a recent Saturday morning, McMurry University Assistant Professor Dr. Terrence Boyle and his student, Brianna Littlefield, skimmed across Hubbard Creek Lake by motorboat. Their lake trip included stops at ten sites on the water where Boyle left modified minnow traps to collect all kinds of organisms from their habitat below the surface.
The motor rumbled to a stop as he pulled up to shore at site number one. Wearing waders, he sloshed around following GPS coordinates to find the trap nestled on the lake bottom. It was hoisted it up then the contents were spilled out on a tray in the boat.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Small rocks tumbled out of the trap, Boyle pushed them around and pointed to tiny wiggling dots on the tray.
“That’s actually a copepod,” Boyle said as he bent over the tray with Littlefield. “See the little bity thing that’s moving right here. Copepods are one of the most common food sources for larval fish.”
Boyle is working on his research project titled, “Macrobenthic Surveys of 12 Big Country Reservoirs.” His goal is to establish a baseline data set for plankton, periphyton and macrobenthic organisms found in local reservoirs. Or as Boyle puts it- he studies the ecology of “all the little critters without a backbone.” His research also records changes in the ecology of each lake over time, and in West Texas, that means through periods of drought.
“That’s one of the big questions as far as across the board that we don’t really understand is, what is the impact of the drought?” Boyle said.
Texans know what it means to survive a farming season during a drought, and they are familiar with water restrictions for watering lawns.
“But we don’t understand is what effect did it actually have in these lakes,” Boyle said.
People often assume that if some water remains in a lake, despite drops in the level, then the fish are OK and everything is normal. But Boyle said the drought might be affecting a lot of the insect larvae in lakes because a loss of water is a loss of habitat.
Texas is currently drought free according to Texas climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon, but Boyle’s research is a four-year-project, during which he’ll be able to compile a significant amount of information about area lakes. He revisits each lake every three months to collect from the traps and record differences in life between seasons.
While he’s not alone in collecting samples from the reservoirs, he is the only person focusing on biological data. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality analyzes surface water to check for quality and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department collects surface water to investigate fish kills. Boyle’s work however, is focused entirely on how the life present responds to changes in the habitat. His project also provides plenty of opportunities for biology students to take part and gain experience.
Brianna Littlefield, his work partner that day, is an aspiring marine biologist. This project is offering a chance for her to get out in the field and practice some of the work she’ll do later in her career. Adam Liuzza is another student who has spent time collecting the traps and analyzing their contents.
“I always liked doing fieldwork and this was my first chance to actually do some hands on,” Liuzza said.
He wants to be an inland fisheries biologist in his home state of Louisianna.
“Now we are actually applying what we learned in the classroom to the field, seeing firsthand and getting a feel for what we have to do to get all the scientific data to record a project,” Liuzza said.
In addition to fieldwork, bringing students into the project prepares them for the lab work they’ll face in their careers. Boyle said a lot of the time people will prefer the fieldwork over the lab work or vice versa.
“What I find is that I like both,” Boyle said. “Out here I get the chance to get dirty, I get the chance to play as a kid would and find and collect all those things. In the lab I get to do the more nuanced inspections of what I’m looking at and studying.”
Boyle is also watching out for the white-fingered mud crab, which is no bigger than a quarter. He’s looking for reasons why the crab is found in one lake but not a neighboring lake only 12 miles away. And he’s keeping an eye out for zebra mussels- a new exotic species making an appearance in Texas. When it comes down to it though, Boyle really doesn’t mind what he pulls up from a trap or finds under a microscope, for him just being engaged with nature is enough motivation to keep up the time-consuming research.
“A lot of people look at West Texas and think it’s ugly but we’re sitting on the middle of this lake and it’s gorgeous,” Boyle said. “It’s a beautiful morning, you got to see the beauty around you and this allows me to do that.”

Philippines to register biometric enrollment of 105 mln people
Wednesday 10 July 2019 | 10:16 AM CET
The Philippines has planned to register 105 million people in its biometric National ID system, currently acquiring the technology to run the system.
The new Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) is meant to include all citizens of the country, as well as expatriates in the Philippines. The solution will comprise thumbprint, iris, and facial biometric data, and the country’s central bank will produce its biometric ID cards.
Also, final tests will be conducted between September and December, in preparation for mass enrollment starting in 2020. The project is expected to reach 105 million people registered by mid-2022, with roughly 6 million Filipinos to be registered during the pilot phase by September 2019. Priority will be given to the homeless, people with disabilities, and government workers.

Astroboffins dig into the weird backwards orbit of the Bee-Zed asteroid
Tiny body moves similar to Jupiter – but travels in the opposite direction
By Katyanna Quach 29 Jun 2017 at 06:01
Asteroid 2015 BZ509 – also known as Bee-Zed – is the only asteroid in our solar system with a confirmed retrograde orbit lasting 12 years; the same orbital period as Jupiter.
The discovery was published in Nature in March by a team of physicists led by Paul Wiegert, a researcher at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. It was predicted two years earlier by Helena Morais, an astronomy professor at São Paulo State University in Brazil.
Now Morais is working in partnership with Fathi Namouni, an astronomer at the Côte d'Azur Observatory in France. They're working on a general theory to explain retrograde co‑orbitals and retrograde orbital resonance.
Bee-Zed is an odd asteroid:
It's rare in that only 82 of more than 726,000 asteroids orbit in the opposite direction of the incoming traffic of planetary bodies.
Its orbit is similar to that of a planet – it has the same orbital period as Jupiter.
Its configuration has been stable for millions of years, baffling scientists.
"Instead of being ejected from orbit by Jupiter, as one would expect, the asteroid is in a configuration that assures stability thanks to co‑orbital resonance, meaning its motion is synchronized with the planet's, avoiding collisions," Morais said in a statement from São Paulo Research Foundation on Wednesday.
Co-orbital resonance describes two nearby bodies that exert regular gravitational influences on one another when their orbital periods reach a certain ratio. For example, Bee-Zed crosses Jupiter's path every six years, but their motion is locked and they never come within 176 million kilometers (109 million miles) of each other. Jupiter keeps the asterioid's orbit stable.
Most objects orbit the Sun in the same direction as when the Solar System was born from a swirling cocktail of dust and gas known as the protoplanetary disk. But in the final stages, objects like Bee-Zed were kicked far away into the outer edges in the Oort cloud, a shell of floating icy debris.
"At these distances, the Milky Way's gravitational effects disturb small bodies. To begin with, they orbited close to the plane of the ecliptic in the same direction as the planets, but their orbits were deformed by the galaxy's tidal force and by interactions with nearby stars, gradually becoming more inclined and forming a more-or-less spherical reservoir," Morais said.
If these bodies pass a star like the Sun and their orbits are disturbed, they can veer off their paths and become active comets. Their icy exteriors are warmed by the Sun and they sublime, forming a tail of gas, cloud and dust particles. But it's a situation that is not likely to happen with Bee-Zed any time soon, as according to Morais and Namouni, its orbit will go undisturbed for another million years or so.
Talking to The Register, Morais added: "We don't know exactly how they [asteroids from the Oort cloud] can come back to orbits such as that of Bee-Zed. The Halley family comets also include high inclination and retrograde orbits and we are not sure if they came from the Oort cloud or if there is another source or evolution path." ®

Tech giants' payouts go to everyone but affected citizens. US Supremes now urged to sort it out
AGs cry foul over Google's $8.5m class-action settlement
By Kieren McCarthy in San Francisco 8 Feb 2018 at 21:21
A group of 16 US state attorneys general are urging America's Supreme Court to tear up an $8.5m legal settlement from Google – because none of the cash will go to the folks the class-action lawsuit was brought on behalf of.
Led by the attorney general of Arizona, Mark Brnovich, the legal eagles have taken issue with the fact that $2.125m of the settlement will go in fees to the attorneys that brought the case and the remaining $5.3m will be split between seven organizations, agreed to by the lawyers and Google.
Three of the seven are law schools that the attorneys' attended - Harvard University, Stanford University and the Chicago-Kent College of Law – and the remaining four are among Google's favorite institutions who do work that benefit the tech giant and which the company already supplies millions to - AARP, Carnegie Mellon University, the MacArthur Foundation, and the World Privacy Forum.
Google's $8.5m class-action privacy payout goes to: Lawyers' alma maters, web giant's pals
The settlement is opposed by the people who brought the case: a fact noted by the attorneys general who see it as an ideal test case, and want to see the Supreme Court impose a set of rules for future class-action lawsuits that put citizens first and prevent lawyers from diverting payouts to recipients of their choosing.
The class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of roughly 129 million US Google users who had their privacy violated between 2006 and 2014 when the advertising giant provided their search queries to third-party websites.
Due to the huge number of people affected, the settlement amounts to a paltry amount – roughly four cents – per person. And that led to the promotion of seven "cy pres recipients" to accept the money on consumers' behalf.
Super Cali so realistic
The arrangement has been raising hackles since it was first proposed more than three years ago, with a district judge rejecting it in 2014. That prompted an appeal to California's Ninth Circuit. Last year, the Ninth Circuit was also unhappy with the arrangement but ultimately agreed with the argument that it would "economically infeasible" to provide a huge number of people with tiny amount of cash.
The problem with this arrangement, as the attorneys general point out, is that it sets a dangerous precedent.
For one, it marks out the Ninth Circuit – based in California – as being the best court to go to for both companies and class-action lawyers. Both can expect to benefit directly and indirectly if the case is heard in the golden state rather than in other parts of America that have imposed stronger conditions.
The attorneys' general court filing, submitted today, gives the example of the Third Circuit – which covers Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania – which has repeatedly stressed that a settlement must have "direct benefit" to folks that is "practical and not abstract." It has explicitly stated that "direct distributions to the class are preferred over cy pres" and that "cy pres awards should generally represent a small percentage of total settlement funds."
Interestingly, none of the attorneys general from the states covered by the Third Circuit have signed up the brief, but all of the states in the Fifth Circuit and some in the Eight Circuit – both of which have adopted similar rules about cy pres being a last resort and have reversed rulings that have been overly generous to cy pres recipients – are involved.
Getting worse
The attorneys general brief also points out that the number of cy pres arrangements have rocketed in recent years. Before 2000, there was barely one a year. Shortly after, it jumped to eight a year. And the majority of the 266 such cases since 2000 have happened in the past decade.
It is effectively doubling every ten years – and with technology giants reaching vast numbers of people in a way that was never really possible before the internet, the likelihood of one small corporate decision leading to legal cases that split a large sum of money between an even larger number of people is only increasing.
The problems of the arrangement have not gone unnoticed. The brief cites several examples of where judges have raised their concerns, even noting that Chief Justice Roberts said that there are "important, foundational cy pres settlement questions" back in 2013.
There are basically two big headaches to resolve: when should money not go to actual consumers; and who gets to decide what organizations get the money if it is decided that there should be cy pres recipients?
The brief argues that now is the time for the Supreme Court to weigh in on the matter and set down some fundamentals for how such cases are decided in future. It asks for "definitive guidance on the allowable uses of cy pres settlement arrangements as well as the analysis courts should use in weighing when (if ever) such arrangements should be judicially approved."
In filing the brief, Arizona attorney general Brnovich said: "Consumers should be the first priority in any class action settlement. Class action lawsuits can serve an important role in protecting consumers, but the settlements should be focused on benefiting consumers, and not diverting money to unrelated interests."
He's joined by attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming.
In layman's terms, if a bunch of lawyers sue a company on behalf of ripped-off citizens, is it right that those lawyers get to decide with the company what the settlement amount is and who gets all the money?
In theory, it shouldn't be a big problem. But as this case - Melissa Holyoak et al vs Google – makes abundantly clear, when it comes to millions of dollars, theory tends to get thrown out the window.
Let's be honest, it's not a great idea to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars getting a few cents to millions of people. But at the same time, it's hard to imagine that three of the richest universities in the world are really the ideal beneficiaries for such a settlement. Everyone knows the settlement stinks.
It's now up to the Supreme Court decide whether to pinch its nose and pass on the appeal or agree to dig out the rot. ®

I know what EU did last summer: Official use of Microsoft wares to be probed over slurp fears
Spectre of GDPR continues to haunt the halls of Redmond
By Richard Speed 8 Apr 2019 at 18:07
The European Union's Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has announced an investigation into Microsoft products used by EU institutions.
The probe will build a list of Microsoft wares in use by official bloc bodies and check that the "contractual arrangements" between the two are "fully compliant with data protection rules".
The move is at least partially in response to a report commissioned by the Dutch government that found that the software giant's Office Pro Plus application suite, which includes the likes of Word and Outlook, was collecting all manner of data and stashing it on US-based servers.
That got regulators a little hot under the collar since such activities are very much frowned upon under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Users can alter the amount of data slurped by Microsoft's productivity applications (assuming they can find the settings) but not easily turn it off completely.
The EDPS noted that any EU institutions using the applications investigated in the Dutch report will face similar issues including, according to the watchdog, "increased risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals".
The EDPS is responsible for monitoring the GDPR compliance of EU institutions, as well as making sure the public is aware of the risks associated with personal data being flung around the hallowed halls of the EU (or possibly around the US-based clouds of software giants.)
Oops! Almost a year in and ICO staff haven't been handed a GDPR privacy notice yet
It will then work with national authorities to mitigate those risks.
Politico reported in February that Microsoft and the Dutch Ministry of Justice had come up with a solution to the data slurpage worries in the form of an update due by the end of April. If Microsoft's responses were not to the liking of Dutch lawmakers, the ministry could go running to the European data protection authorities.
The EU is not noted for its lightning reflexes, and a spokesperson for the EDPS told The Register that it was difficult to say how long the investigation would take. "Some months for sure."
A Microsoft spokesperson told us: "We are committed to helping our customers comply with GDPR, Regulation 2018/1725, and other applicable laws and are confident that our contractual arrangements allow customers to do so. We stand ready to help our customers answer any questions the European Data Protection Supervisor may have." ®

Snapchat Will Redesign Its Failed Redesign
Snap is going back to the drawing board after posting limp Q1 user growth
Sean Burch | May 1, 2018 @ 4:06 PM
The results are in, and they’re not good.
Snapchat’s controversial redesign is officially a flop, with its parent company, Snap Inc., reporting on Tuesday a paltry 4 million new daily users joined the app during Q1 — 3 million less than Wall Street projected, and the fewest amount Snap has added as a public company. Dig deeper and it only gets worse for Snap, with its 2.13 percent growth rate the worst in the company’s history.
CEO Evan Spiegel acknowledged the redesign has been a dud in his prepared remarks, and said the company is now tweaking the redesign by putting Stories on the right side of the app.

“We learned that combining watching Stories and communicating with friends into the same place made it harder to optimize for both competing behaviors,” said Spiegel. “We are currently rolling out an update to address this by sorting communication by recency and moving Stories from friends to the right side of the application, while maintaining the structural changes we have made around separating friends from creators and sorting friends’ Stories by relationships.”
The move comes only months after Snap moved all Stories and messages from friends to the left side of the app, leaving the right side for content from social stars and Snap’s publishing partners. Many loyal users weren’t thrilled with the redesign to begin with; earlier this year, 1.2 million users signed a petition for Snapchat to revert back to its classic design. Maybe this redesigned redesign will work out better.
6 Tech Giants Shaking Up News, From Jeff Bezos to Laurene Powell Jobs (Photos)
Tech leaders are increasingly intertwined with the news business. While some want to support old properties, one set out to destroy a new one. Here they are.
Jeff Bezos – Washington Post
The Amazon founder purchased the Washington Post in 2013 for $250 million in cash. President Trump has called the paper the “Amazon Washington Post.”

Chris Hughes - The New Republic
The Facebook co-founder purchased The New Republic in 2012, becoming executive chairman and publisher. However, he sold the venerable political magazine to Win McCormack in 2016, saying he "underestimated the difficulty of transitioning an old and traditional institution into a digital media company in today’s quickly evolving climate."

Pierre Omidyar - The Intercept
The eBay founder is a well-known philanthropist who created First Look Media, a journalism venture behind The Intercept. Inspired by Edward Snowden's leaks. Omidyar teamed up with journalists Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and Laura Poitras to launch the website “dedicated to the kind of reporting those disclosures required: fearless, adversarial journalism.”

The PayPal co-founder doesn’t own a news organization, but he makes this list because he essentially ended one -- Gawker -- proving once again the power of an angry billionaire. Thiel secretly bankrolled Hulk Hogan’s sex-tape lawsuit against Gawker Media because he was upset that the website once outed him as gay. Hogan won the defamation lawsuit against the site that sent its parent company into bankruptcy, and Gawker.com is no longer operating.

Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook
OK, so Facebook isn’t technically a news organization… yet. However, the company is preparing to launch its much-anticipated lineup of original content later this summer, and there are also signs that it's on the verge of becoming an even bigger media platform.
Campbell Brown, Head of News Partnerships at Facebook, confirmed last week it’s developing a subscription service for publishers willing to post articles directly to Facebook Instant Articles, rather than their native websites.

A world of water innovation
on 22 March 2015
It’s World Water Day, and at NPC we’ve been reflecting on another fascinating year working with the Stone Family Foundation, learning about and supporting innovative new approaches to providing safe water in Africa and Asia.
Innovation is what’s desperately needed to supply safe water to the 748 million people globally without access. 60,000 hand pumps are installed in sub-Saharan Africa each year, but around one-third of those installed in the last 20 years are broken, and it’s estimated that only 22% hand pumps in Ghana are functioning properly.
Traditional approaches clearly aren’t working. Funders have a critical role to play, and a responsibility, to help change this.
Firstly, by doing no harm. You might assume that installing new water points can only be a good thing, but if there’s no long term thinking, you’re setting up a community for failure when the water point breaks down and there’s no way of fixing it. If you want to fund water projects, make sure you ask about sustainability—is the water source reliable, where are the supply chains for spare parts and the mechanics to fit them, where does the money come from to pay for these?
Secondly, funders can proactively drive change by directing their support to organisations who are innovating to tackle the sustainability crisis. Often it’s not about technological innovation (in fact the most sustainable approaches are typically those that are the most low tech); instead there’s a need for innovation on the operational side—leveraging new revenue streams; setting up local businesses to supply, operate and maintain water points; and using data to monitor functionality and improve performance.
If you’re inspired to learn more about innovation in the water sector this World Water Day, take a look at some of the initiatives the Stone Family Foundation is supporting:
MSABI (Tanzania): sets up drilling, pump manufacturing and mechanic enterprises to install and maintain rural water points.
Safe Water Network (Ghana): operates Safe Water Stations which treat and sell affordable drinking water to local communities. Provides the training, tools and support for stations to be locally managed and operated as financially sustainable businesses.
Dispensers for Safe Water (Kenya): installs chlorine dispensers next to water points so communities can safely treat their water. Generates revenues through sales of carbon credits (chlorine is an alternative to boiling water, helping to reduce carbon emissions).
Water for People (Uganda): piloting entrepreneur-operated small piped water networks in rural areas, to understand where piped networks (compared with hand pumps) are most viable, and support communities to transition to piped networks over time.
Spring Health (India): provides safe, purified water to small villages using low cost chlorine treatment. It partners with entrepreneurs which sell the treated water from local stores.
NPC has supported the Stone Family Foundation with its grant-making since 2006. To read more about the lessons we’ve learnt about funding market based approaches in water and sanitation, see our paper How to spend a penny.

This App Calculates The Odds Of Your Flight Crashing
By Joe McGauley Published On 02/11/2015
@jwmcgauley
By Joe McGauley @jwmcgauley Published On 02/11/2015
Considering the variety of high-profile commercial air disasters over the last year, passengers with a fear of flying are understandably are more nervous about traveling than ever. Lucky for them, there's a new app that will calculate the probability that the flight you're on will crash. Spoiler alert: you'll be just fine. OR WILL YOU? You will.
The In-Flight Cocktail Kit
Vanilla Pixel
To learn what your chances are, plug in the airport you're flying out of and into, the airline you're on, and the aircraft model. It'll take historical crash data and calculate your chances of doom into a hard number (i.e., 1 in 2,783,874), then the app translates that into even simpler terms, i.e., "you'd expect to go down if you took this flight very day for 7,627 years." Aviophobiacs rejoice!
Joe McGauley is a senior editor at Supercompressor. He finds that the best antidote to pre-flight anxiety is a tall cocktail.

Regions: Rhone
Grape Types: Grenache
Winery: Alain Jaume
Alain Jaume Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail is made from 90% Grenache, 10% Syrah.
Deep red garnet color. Aromas of ripe and black fruits. On the palate the wine is rich, powerful and harmonious - well balanced with wild berry and pepper dominating.
Soil types
Located in and around the famous area called “Dentelles de Montmirail”, the landscape typicity is made by a rocky bar (between 100 and 600 meters high). Soils are made of clay and sand with limestone. The “Dentelles” appeared thanks to the pressure between the Pyrenees and Alps mountains. This is a land of predilection to produce both powerful and fresh wines. Nights are cooler and the grapes ripeness usually comes in late September.
Winemaking & aging
Traditional wine-making in stainless and concrete vats. Crushed and destemmed grapes. Average of 18 days of vatting with pigeages. Ageing in vats mostly and oak barrels. Bottling after 12 – 14 months.
"Lovely black cherry, plum and currant fruit has melded with subtle chalky minerality, black tea and singed juniper notes. Fine-grained and long, showing weight and finesse. Should cellar well. Best from 2020 through 2032.—J.M."
- Wine Spectator Insider (June 2019), 93 pts
"Initial notes of smoke and char fade with aeration revealing layers of decadent black plum and cherry flavors here. This is an intoxicatingly fruity, luscious wine that's balanced pertly by fresh acidity and a crisp mineral undertone. Nuanced by spice and garrigue, it's drinking beautifully already but should improve well through 2030."
- Wine Enthusiast (December 2018, Best of Year 2018 Issue), 94 pts, Editors' Choice
"The 2016 Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail shows why everyone is excited about the 2016s in the Southern Rhône. A full-bodied, rich and velvety wine, it comes close to being chocolaty and fudge-like without closing that border, instead delivering dark plum and cherry fruit, dusty, earthy notes and savory spice. It should drink well for a decade or more. - Joe Czerwinski"
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue 238, August 31st 2018), 93 pts
"The 2016 Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail from the Jaume family is 65% Grenache and the balance Mourvèdre and Syrah, aged mostly in tank with a small part in smaller barrels. Its deep ruby color is followed by a pretty, elegant, seamless wine that has great notes of red fruits, white flowers, spices, and a limestone-like minerality. Silky and polished, it shines for its elegance and purity."
- Jeb Dunnuck (September 26th 2018), 93 pts
The Alain Jaume Winery
Established in 1826 in the Northern part of Chateauneuf du Pape, the Alain Jaume Winery boasts both the exceptional terroir of the Southern Rhone Valley and a long line of dedicated winemakers. Alain Jaume works in accordance with certified organic agricultural practices for both the Grand Veneur and Clos de Sixte vineyards. They strive to let the true terrior be expressed in their wines.
The principal winemaker is Alain Jaume. His sons Sebastien and Christophe are both heavily involved with the winery in sales and marketing and winemaking respectively. The Alain Jaume winery consists of 40 acres in Chateauneuf du Pape, 50 acres in Lirac, and 75 acres of Cotes du Rhone vines. The family produces wines under two labels: Domaine Grand Veneur and Alain Jaume.
In 1320 Pope Jean XXII planted the first vines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but it was only in 1360 that the wines of the region first gained fame. Oddly, the wine that gave Chateauneuf-du-Pape its original reputation was the White and not the Red. The white wine was a favorite of Pope Innocent VI. The Domaine dates back to 1826, having been founded at that time by Mathieu Jaume. Since 1979, Alain Jaume has run the Domaine and now has the help of his two sons: Sebastien and Christophe.
"Popes throughout history have liked their juice, and when the papal see moved to Avignon in the 13th century, that juice was Chateauneuf-du-Pape ("the pope's new castle") made from grapes grown nearby in the Southern Rhône. The castle is a ruin now, the papal court long gone back to Rome, but the wines that bear the pope's coat of arms emblazoned on the bottle are still produced more or less according to the long-standing recipe. Not every winemaker uses all 13 of the grapes in the proscribed blend, though. At Domaine Grand Veneur, an estate that dates to 1826, Alain Jaume and his sons Sebastien and Christophe emphasize Grenache blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre."
"Improved Chateauneuf with very accomplished, stylish reds since the late 1990s; also very good Vacqueyras and Cotes-du-Rhône Villages." - Anthony Dias Blue's pocket guide to wine 2006
"Grand Veneur is one of the most brilliant estates in Chateauneuf du Pape as well as the force behind the negociant wines sold under the Alain Jaume label. Virtually everything they produce has merit. Some of this estate’s 2009 red wines are just hitting the market as they are bottled early to preserve their fruit and freshness. I can’t say enough about the job Alain Jaume’s two sons, Sebastian and Christophe, have done with this estate. The impeccable attention to detail in the vineyards, the meticulous vinification, and the careful bottling benefit every consumer." - Wine Advocate (#190, August 2010)
"Great bargains continue to emerge from Domaine Grand Veneur as well as from their negociant arm of the business, labeled Alain Jaume" - Wine Advocate (#195, June 2011)
"One of the best-run and highest quality estates of the Southern Rhone is Domaine Grand Veneur, now run by the younger generation of the Jaume family, Sebastien and Christophe. The brothers have done a fabulous job taking over for their quality-oriented father, Alain. These are their less expensive wines, but I will follow up later this year with my reviews of their 2010 Chateauneuf du Papes as well as the 2011s, which I have not yet tasted. They have certainly gotten a good start on their 2011 less expensive Cotes du Rhone selections. The Jaumes are some of the finest practitioners of white winemaking in the Southern Rhone and showcase that with their least expensive offerings, which are creative blends that over-deliver." - Wine Advocate (Issue #201, June 2012)

Alain Jaume, Ventoux, Les Gelinottes

Levendi Sweetwater Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
The Sweetwater is back and better than ever. Sage and white pepper notes on the nose with beautiful wild plum aromas. Bright flavors of big black cherry and chapparal bounce around on a base of mountain tannin and solid natural acidity. This wine is 100% Atlas Peak fruit with two years on French Oak Barrels. 500 cases produced.
"Red cherries, dried berries, red plums and herbal liqueur. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Drink in 2022."
- James Suckling (May 2018), 90 pts
Alleme Getariako Txakolina 2018
Alleme Getariako Txakolina is 100% Hondarribi Zuri
A very fruity, persistent and clean Txakoli. It reminds the white exotic fruits, such as lichy. It has a straw yellow color, without the slightest tone of rust and a faint natural gas pearl crown, due to the grape juice fermentation. In the mouth, it is greasy and unctuous, with a good balance of structure and acidity. In order to get such a Txakoli, we have combined the most traditional and the most innovative production methods to create it. Thanks to the batonnage (stirring of the lees), we have attained the characteristic unctuosity of this Txakoli.
After harvesting and pressing, the must is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks. Traditionally, and until recently, this was done in oak or chestnut barrels, called kupels, in Basque. Fermentation lasts 20–25 days and then the txacolí is left to lie on its lees. The CO2 prevents oxidation and dissolves the sediments and gives the wine its sparkling characteristic. The wines is not racked so it does not lose its sparkle and is clarified by natural sedimentation by gravity in the tank or barrel. Traditionally, the wine is tasted on the feast of San Antonio on 17 January, which is known as Txacolí Day (Txacoli Eguna, in Basque).
Pierre Olivier Sparkling Rose NV
Pierre Olivier Sparkling Rose NV is a value sparkling rosé, made with Tempranillo grapes from around the French/Spanish border (next to the Pyrenees). This is a new Kysela Project.
This wine is aromatized with a very little amount of Raspberry flavor, giving a nice mouthfeel, with an extra aromatic boost.
The bubbles are obtained using the Charmat method, named after Eugene Charmat, where the second fermentation takes places in a large, closed pressurized tank. It is different from the Methode Champanoise as the secondary fermentation doesn't take place in the bottle.
"Pale pink salmon. Just a touch off-dry, this is a very pleasant sparkler that reveals aromas of spicy red apple with a hint of cinnamon that carry through to the palate. Well made and exceedingly pleasant to drink."
- International Wine Review (Annual Rosé Report / April 2013), 89 pts
Amaren Rioja Crianza 2013
Amaren Rioja Crianza is made from 85% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha
The wine is truly attractive, transmitting the finesse and elegance of the Tempranillo and the fresh, delicate fruitiness of the Garnacha. A balanced combination which is far from an excessive complexity, corpulence or over extraction to achieve the goal set by the bodega: to make a “RICH” wine in capital letters. With a nose in which the fruit character with floral nuances and strawberry toffees will stay with you all through its passage through the mouth, where you can sense its power, but with an elegance, enchanting you with its great balance until the long finish with heady notes of red fruit typical of the best garnachas from the Rioja Alavesa.
Only the perfect grapes are used to produce this wine. Amaren Crianza is the pursuit of perfection in all areas: the vineyard, the selection process, winemaking method and ageing.
Made from 85% tempranillo and 15% garnacha from vines with an average age of 35 years, the grapes are selected on a dual sorting table, first a manual check of the clusters and then individual berries.
Both varieties are harvested, vinified and aged separately to extract their optimum potential and obtain aromatic complexity.
After vinification the wine is cask aged for 12 months in 50% new, American-oak barrels and 50% in French-oak barrels used for a second vintage.
Tempranillo brings to the wine typical finesse, elegance and true expression of the characteristics of the best soils of Rioja Alavesa. Garnacha is the ideal complement that brings notes of red fruits, freshness and delicacy.
"Deep ruby. Oak-spiced cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors are complemented by a suggestion of mocha that gains strength as the wine opens up. Plush and seamless in style and showing no rough edges. Rich yet lively; a peppery note adds a spicy kick on the back half. Gentle tannins shape the impressively persistent finish, which leaves a hint of bitter chocolate behind. - Josh Raynolds"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (May 2017), 91 pts
Luis Canas Reserva Seleccion de la Familia Rioja 2014
Luis Canas Reserva Seleccion de la Familia Rioja is made from 85% Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
Aged for 20 months in new oak barrels - 50% French 50% American.
45 years old vines
Alcohol: 14,5º
Total acidity: 5,73 g./l.
Volatile acidity: 0,73 g./l.
PH: 3,53
Free SO2: 28 mg./l.
Reducing sugars: 1,3 g./l.
The “family reserve” from one of Rioja Alavesa’s most enduring family-run wineries. Wines destined to be the Reserva de la Familia label are made from a selection of grapes from old vines, those which combine a series of characteristics such as good orientation and exposure to the sun, and a poor soil which ensures low yields.
This wine is one of very few Rioja wines to blend Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo. Bodegas Luis Cañas was granted permission by the D.O.Ca. to plant this variety as an experiment in the early 1980s.
A brillant garnet color with cherry hints on the edges.
The nose offers a complex variety of aromas that combine to bring an intense and sophisticated wine. Initially we can find very ripe berry fruits, smoky notes, raisins and liquor. After a certain amount of aeration, the cinnamon and jam notes appear and, with a little more time, the roasted and spiced aromas are noticed more clearly.
The palate is full, with a good presence of tannins, although these are offset by the glycerine like character, resulting in a fleshy sensation. Long lasting and lingering finish.
Winemaking and aging:
The grapes were cold macerated for 72 hours upon arrival at the winery. They underwent fermentation at 26º C in sealed cement tanks under constant thermal control, with the must pumped over daily. With the paste devatted by gravity, spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place after 45 days.
The wine was aged for 20 months in 50% medium toasted American and 50% French oak barrels. The barrel ageing not only adds tannins from the wood, but stabilizes the wine naturally. After the final racking, it was clarified in tanks with a small amount of natural egg white, decanted after 30 days and bottled directly without any type of filtration. Because this wine’s evolutionary cycle is quite slow, only corks of the highest quality available were used to ensure that it could be prolonged for several years.
Vinsacro Rioja 2012
Vinsacro (Valsacro)( Rioja is predominately 70yr old 55% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Mazuelo, 10% Graciano and 5% Monastrell aged in American oak.
Dark cherry color. Intense and elegant sweet spices, chocolate and ripe fruit with suggestive toasty aromas that tell us about the aging in good oak. Tasty, powerful, meaty and structured and at the same time easy to drink, very round.
The slogan of our winemaker "Wine is to enjoy". Vinsacro red wine is a wine to be stored, so that positive developments are expected for at least 15 years.
"(raised for 16 months in new and used American oak barrels) Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Expressive, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark berries, incense and smoky minerals, with vanilla and licorice undertones. Sweet, spicy and focused in the mouth, offering juicy blueberry and cherry liqueur flavors that are enlivened by a peppery spice accent. Smoothly combines richness and vivacity and finishes with impressive focus, lingering sweetness and supple tannins that build slowly and add gentle grip. - Josh Raynolds"

9 Amazing Things You Can Only Do in The Colony
By James Waterson
Line up a tee shot down a lakeside fairway, shop your way through the nation’s largest home furnishings store, enjoy an afternoon sipping craft beer, or hike scenic nature trails. Settled on the eastern shores of Lewisville Lake only 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, The Colony is an all-in-one getaway where it’s just as easy to indulge in some retail therapy as it is to escape to the great outdoors. Read on to see some of the many amazing things you can do here and plan your visit today.
Delight in Lakeside Dining

Experience the Local Live Music Scene
North Texas is a hotspot for live music, and The Colony is no exception. On any given night, touring bands and local talents light up the stages at one-of-a-kind venues across town. Top bands from across the country headline at Lava Cantina, The Colony’s largest music destination. The venue doubles as a restaurant that serves coastal Mexican fare with a Creole twist, including crawfish and gator dip and enchiladas made with French crepes. There’s even more music to be heard at Hard Eight BBQ, which showcases regional bands alongside its Texas-style smoked brisket, pork ribs, and other ‘cued meats straight from the pit.
Another incredible music venue will be opening their doors, just in time for summer. Truck Yard is an outdoor venue with 15,000 square feet of heavily shaded, pet-friendly lawn. Named for its rotating food truck fare and known for its multiple bars, this venue is a true adult playground.

Speaking of which, the canine hangout is an off-leash park that features areas for dogs large and small to play and mingle with pups their own size.
Although you can relax here throughout the year, you won’t want to miss The Shacks’ special events. Catch a performance from up and coming artists or shop local boutiques at the monthly pop-up market. For a list of the latest events coming to The Shacks at Austin Ranch, check out their Facebook Events Page.
Get Out on Lewisville Lake
With its 23 miles of scenic shoreline, The Colony is a convenient starting point for some time out on the water. Whether you rent a jet ski or pontoon boat from the ship store or a stand-up paddleboard from DFW Surf, begin your adventure at Hidden Cove Park. Don’t miss out on the abundance of catfish, crappie, and bass swimming in Lewisville Lake. Bring your fishing rod (or check one out for free at The Colony Public Library) and cast a line from the new fishing pier at Stewart Creek Park. If you’re looking to simply soak up the sun, relax on sandy beaches at either lake park. Both feature boat ramps to launch your own watercraft, playgrounds for the kids, convenient shaded picnic areas, and other amenities to enjoy a full day at the lake.
There’s a world of adventure to have on Lewisville Lake, and The Colony is a stellar launchpad to experiencing it all.
Enjoy Award-Winning Golf & Stunning Lake Views
Gently rolling fairways, lush greens, and a vast lake just beyond. You wouldn’t find this compelling combination at most golf courses, but in The Colony it’s standard. The town’s three golf courses offer breathtaking lake views and challenging play that’ll have you coming back for more. The picturesque Old American Golf Club is widely considered one of the best 18-hole golf courses in Texas, with its natural contours and homage to America’s Golden Age of Golf. The course is fit for experienced players, including the professionals during the Volunteers of America Classic – the only LPGA event in the state.
If you have ever dreamt of playing at The British Open, take a swing at The Tribute Golf Links. The links-style course on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake pays homage to the fabled courses of Scotland. The 18th hole is a treat all its own, as it’s a direct replica of the final hole at St. Andrews, right down to the Swilken Bridge. Finally, let the towering lighthouse at Stewart Peninsula Golf Course draw you to this part of Lewisville Lake’s shoreline. Set on a captivating peninsula, the course provides complex play that’s accessible to everyone thanks to the six tee boxes and double greens on each of the nine holes.
Not only are all three courses well worth playing, they’re all open to the public. Visit each course’s website to book a tee time, then pack your golf clubs for a round you won’t soon forget.
Escape Along Miles of Nature Trails
Stroll along the shoreline of Lewisville Lake and watch as birds and butterflies flit by. It’s easy to find inner peace away from the hustle and bustle of the big city on The Colony’s tranquil trails. Both the Shoreline and Tribute Shoreline Trails provide over three miles of environmentally sensitive footing, perfect for casual hikes, bike rides, and jogs. When you wander through the dense woodlands and meadows, blooming wildflowers and a calm lake breeze will welcome you. Pause to learn more about native flora and fauna through educational signs dotting the trails.
These are just two of The Colony’s trails waiting for you to explore. Find out more about the others here.
Check Out The Colony’s Unique Family Events
Any season is a good time to visit The Colony, but there are a few one-of-a-kind events here you won’t want to miss. Swim with your puppy and participate in contests and games at the annual Bow-Wow Luau (Sept. 8), held at Hawaiian Falls Waterpark. Explore a trail haunted by ghouls and goblins during Family Fright Night (Oct. 19 – 20), a Halloween camping experience with hayrides, campfires, scary movies, and trick or treating. Finally, American Heroes: A Salute to Veterans (Nov. 9) celebrates those who have served our country with live music, great food, and an exuberant fireworks show.
These are only a few of The Colony’s many great events. See a full list here.

12 Best Jamie Foxx Movies You Must See
If you list the attributes of a complete man, how would it go? Handsome, charming, soothing voice, an all-rounder, and definitely rich. Often criticized for the choice of his roles, the mercurial actor has two Academy nominations and a win for his moving role as the great Ray Charles. Though the actor has had personal problems, it hasn’t stopped him from going strength to strength. Always bringing a familiar humility and humbling charm to his roles, Foxx is a rare jewel for our beseeched eyes. Here is the list of top 12 movies of Jamie Foxx. Happy reading!
12. Jarhead (2005)
Foxx was simply the apotheosis of dedication and unconsciously borderline-psycho. The way he grabbed stereotypical army sergeants was phenomenal and downright genius. A black satire on America’s war with Iraq and the men who wield guns, ‘Jarhead’ falls short of Sam Mendes’ prodigal genius. Though thought-provoking and brilliant in its conception, the execution splashes water on all the good water.
11. Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
DA Nick Rice is a successful and skilled advocate. Despite his brilliance, his lackluster attitude and required staid attitude towards work get him in trouble, as a bereaved Clyde Shelton brutally extracts revenge of his wife’s death. ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ had its heart in the right place with a moving and evocative story at the core. But it wasted its talent with a lethargic and uninspired execution. A 7.4 IMDb rating and 26% Rotten Tomatoes represent two different views. Decide for yourself.
10. The Soloist (2009)
The film brought to life the tragic and heart-warming story of Nathaniel Ayers, a successful musician who becomes homeless owing to the miasma of Schizophrenia. Ayers’ condition catches the attention of an eager, and ambivalently bored, enough columnist, who instantly is fascinated by the ordeal and decides to pursue it. The pairing of the two giants was certainly aimed at winning the audience over, and it certainly did. The response of the crowds was a bit underwhelming, as the film ran into losses and flopped, but remained as one of the most popular films of the year.
9. White House Down (2013)
His efficacious smile is the reason for all destruction. Charming and insanely perfect, Foxx’s comic timing is something actors should set a benchmark as. He inhabited the role of President of the US, who is trapped inside the White House under an imminent terrorist attack. A freshly rejected special-security candidate is his sole chance of making it out alive. Tatum is a serial action actor and he definitely proves his worth with a worthy performance. The overall feel of the film is somewhat shadowed with disappointment but is still worth a one-time watch.
8. Horrible Bosses (2011)
Dean “Motherf****ng” Jones. Oh, God. This one.
7. Due Date (2010)
Re-uniting with Robert Downey, although in a minimal role, Foxx is again briefly attention-catching with an assured performance. The film is about two strangers who aren’t really strangers as they embark on a road-trip together for the successful one to make it back for the birth of his child. Filled with entertaining interventions, ‘Due Date’ is fine work by a group of extraordinary and gifted artists. The chemistry and bromance is scintillatingly breath-taking between Zach (because it is easy to write) and Downey. The door scene when they near the hospital remains one of my favorite scenes in cinematic history.

KAMAL MITRA CHENOY | 22 JUNE, 2017
Indian Militarism & Kashmir: A Response to Lt. General Vijay Oberoi
KAMAL MITRA CHENOY
NEW DELHI: Kashmir is an extremely complex place. Increasingly, former military men like the current author Lt. Gen. Vijay Oberoi, a former Vice Chief of Army Staff, have sweepingly referred to the government’s Kashmir policy, and called as in this case to “Stop Pussyfooting in Kashmir.”
As is not unusual, Jawaharlal Nehru is accused of having bungled in accepting the plebiscite resolution. But it was ultimately not accepted by the Nehru government on the grounds that the Pakistani irregulars and troops had intervened in Kashmir. The plebiscite resolution was never passed by the United Nations. As for Article 370, which allotted only Defence, Foreign Affairs, Currency and Communications to the Union of India, it was never implemented. Nehru broke his promise to Sheikh Abdullah, and Article 370 is a shadow of itself; (See “Article 370,” by A.G. Noorani, OUP, 2011). So Nehru’s “bungling” disempowered, not empowered Kashmir.
Another sweeping assertion by Lt. Gen. Oberoi: “both the central and state governments have been on an appeasement spree…” Most Indian and foreign observers would be shocked by this claim. Are the use of pellet (shot) guns which have blinded many children in Kashmir, appeasement? Are the retired Generals aware that the Israeli Defence Forces withdrew such weapons during the intifada and never used them again?
What about the role of the Army? Under which section of The Army Act, 1950 has the taking of “human shields” been allowed? Major Leetum Gogoi abducted a Kashmiri voter in the Srinagar by-poll on 9 April, and the voter Farooq Ahmed Dar, a shawl weaver, was tied to a jeep bonnet and driven 28 kilometers! Major Gogoi spoke publicly to the media while the Court of Inquiry was still on. Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat commended Major Gogoi even before the Court of Inquiry was over. Incidentally this incident became widely known only in the third week of May. Who suppressed this information? Is this appeasement? Under the Rome Statute 2000, to which India is a party, the use of “human shields” is an international crime.
Finally after the event, General Rawat, in an interview to the Press Trust of India on May 28 , which was reported nation wide opined that he wished that the stone pelters would take to arms, so that he (the Army) could retaliate. He went on to say that the people must fear the Army, which was defending them. No, Lt. Gen. Oberoi there is no appeasement, but a shocking amount of insubordination. This will further alienate the Kashmiris, and has the potential to destabilise the State further.

Home / Health / I thought I was pregnant but my ‘baby’ was actually a cancer tumour … and I had to give birth to it
I thought I was pregnant but my ‘baby’ was actually a cancer tumour … and I had to give birth to it
February 20, 2017 Health 52 Views
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Alice Hall had a rare disease, which made her body mimic pregnancy symptoms
When I started feeling sick one morning last June I decided to do a pregnancy test and could not believe it when the blue line appeared on the stick,
A doctor confirmed I was four weeks “gone”. It was a shock. I was only 20 and, although it wasn’t planned, my boyfriend Christopher Tolles and I were still thrilled.
I’d been with Christopher, 24, who’s a sales assistant, for nine months and we were both very young.
Despite this, we knew we’d step up and become good parents when the time came and we threw ourselves into the pregnancy and even toyed with possible names.
But eight weeks in, I started bleeding. Concerned, I rushed to my GP who referred me to Hereford County Hospital for a scan.
Heartbreakingly, medics told me I was having a miscarriage .

But a pregnancy test confirmed I was still pregnant, because my uterus thought there was a baby in there as my body was mimicking the symptoms of pregnancy.
Next day I returned for more tests which revealed my hormone levels had shot back up – indicating I was pregnant.
At this point, they thought I’d had a miscarriage scare and told me to watch how I feel and return to the hospital if I started bleeding again.
A week later I was in agony so I went back. They thought I was having an ectopic pregnancy, where the foetus grows inside the Fallopian tube instead of the womb, so I underwent a keyhole laparoscopy so doctors could have a look around inside.
It showed there was swelling in my womb but doctors had no idea what it could be – but knew it was not a viable pregnancy. I felt relieved they didn’t think it was an ectopic pregnancy but was devastated to learn that I wasn’t pregnant any longer.
It was so upsetting, my emotions had been everywhere and I cried for the baby I’d lost. Sadly, one week later, I was bleeding again. Doctors performed an ERPC, where pregnancy tissue is removed from the womb.
Two days after the procedure doctors gave me a blood test which showed that my hormones had dropped.
But two days later I had another test and my hormones had shock right back up – as if I were still pregnant.
It was so confusing, no one knew what was going on inside me.
Despite their set-back, Alice and boyfriend Christopher will try again for a baby (Photo: Sunday Mirror)
So I was referred to Charing Cross Hospital in London as they suspected something more serious was happening.
I was diagnosed with gestational tropho-blastic neoplasia (GTN), which had caused a tumour to grow in the womb.
Medics again removed the womb tissue and a biopsy confirmed that it was cancerous. Doctors told me that GTN was an incredibly rare illness only treated by two hospitals in the UK – and Charing Cross Hospital handles only 120 such patients a year.
In July 2016, two weeks later, I underwent more tests. I was taken for a chest X-ray and a full body MRI which showed there was a tumour the size of a foetus in my uterus and it was cancerous .
They could not operate as there was a large blood vessel running into it which, if cut, could cause me to die from blood loss.
My mind went into meltdown.
I went from being overjoyed and planning to welcome a baby into the world, to instead doctors telling me that I had a tumour and if they tried to cut it out I would bleed to death. It was really distressing.
Alice had to give birth to the tumour, which weighed around 1Ib (Photo: Sunday Mirror)
I was given eight sessions of a low-dose chemotherapy starting from July which stopped the tumour from growing. But worse was to come. I woke up with agonising pain at 5.30 one morning in September. When I called my doctor, he confirmed I was effectively in labour.
I was taken to Hereford County Hospital and told I’d have to give “birth” to the tumour , which weighed around one pound.
It was really traumatic. First, I was in a side room of A&E and then had to be taken to the women’s ward where heavily pregnant women ready to give birth were. It was heartbreaking.
After 30 hours I expelled the tumour on the toilet. It was such a traumatic experience. In December I was given the all-clear and am now in remission and hoping to get back to work soon.
Once recovered, Christopher and I plan to try for a baby.
Doctors see no reason why I can’t have babies in the future, but they told me the chances of this happening to me again are higher.
Becoming pregnant came as a big surprise, but now becoming a mum is something I really hope will happen in the near future.
Rare disease that grows in the womb
Alice’s tumour was caused by gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), a rare disease which can strike in the womb during a molar pregnancy.
This is when the placenta and foetus do not form properly and a baby does not develop.
Usually, after a sperm fertilises an egg, new cells grow within the womb to form an embryo. As the embryo grows, its cells start to specialise. But with GTN, there is a mistake when the sperm fertilises the egg. This results in a mass of abnormal cells that can grow as fluid-filled sacs – cysts. These cells grow rapidly within the womb, instead of developing into a baby.
These tumours are usually not cancerous but, rarely, a molar pregnancy can become cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body. Nearly all of the tumours are treatable.

29 Disney And Pixar Characters Reimagined As Girls
by Alyssa Avina
Genderswapping and genderbending characters in the fanart community has become a staple in both fanfiction and fanart. It basically means to flip the gender that the original character had to tell a new story in the role of the opposite gender. It creates fun and exciting storylines and pieces of artwork that most of us would never think of. But it's very enjoyable to see the creativity behind it all.
Sometimes, the creators of the works of fiction or art have to get really creative because it is so difficult to imagine characters like Gaston or Hercules as anything other than strong men. But many artists have taken on that very challenge, which is what we're about to see in these versions of Disney and Pixar men as girls.
In this list, we will see many different characters from the world of Disney and Pixar in a totally new and unique take on their characters. Seeing Jack Skellington or the Beast is a much more feminine state is particularly interesting because they are characters you would never think to see in such a new and exciting light.
We have to give it to these incredible fan artist for making us completely rethink even the most classic of Disney or Pixar films thanks to their astounding genderbent fanart. So be prepared to be as amazed as we were when we saw the phenomenal Disney and Pixar creations from these fan artists.
Now, without further ado, here are Disney And Pixar Characters Reimagined As Girls.
29 Jude Hopps And Nicki Wilde
Art by: Unichrome-uni
In 2016, Disney released yet another hit film by the name of Zootopia. It focused on the unlikely partnership between Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, a rabbit, and fox, respectively.
The two embark on a series of misadventures together during the film but in this fanart of the two, there's a new twist to their story.
The artist decided to make Nick into a female fox, making him Nicki Wilde, presumably. And as for Judy, she is now a male rabbit who we like to call Jude.
28 A New Take On Disney Princes
via Tumblr
Art by: Johanna The Mad
Prince Eric, John Smith, and Hercules were all great male leads and love interests in their respective films. They were manly and romantic, while still being very attractive and gentlemanly.
Now, we get to see a different version of those classic characters. And the twist is they are women now.
Hercules as a female is a different sight since she is still extremely muscular. While John Smith and Prince Eric look just as gorgeous as women. Regardless, the three depictions of these Disney characters are very well-done.
27 A Bewitching Hades
via Geek Tyrant
Art by: sakimichan
It's hard to believe that an artist was able to take the likes of Hades and turn him into an extraordinarily beautiful Goddess of the Underworld. But that is precisely what has been done and the results are stunning.
Hades still looks as nefarious as ever with evil schemes she surely has up her sleeve, but this interpretation of the God(dess) is not only gorgeous but incredibly detailed. We get to see this version of Hades in a new light, but with the same fiery blue hair still aglow.
26 A Coco GenderSwap
Art by: shofichila
Coco has been one of the most recent blockbuster hits from Pixar and for good reason. It's a beautiful story about the afterlife and cherishing your family and culture. The main character is Miguel, a young boy who dreams of being a musician even though his family forbids it.
His ancestors Hector and Mama Imelda were also prominent characters in the film. And here, we get to see all three characters as the opposite gender.
It is particularly interesting seeing Hector and Miguel in female form.
They still have many of the same characteristics, and female-Miguel is even seen here with his dog, Dante. It's an amazing piece of fanart.
25 A Series Of New Villains

Art by: esmeraldabelle13
Disney villains are a staple of all Disney films. That is the only way the plot of the children's movies moves forth. And while there were plenty of villains who were women, there was also a lot of men in the role of the villain.
In this fanart, we see a series of male Disney villains now in a feminine form.
From left to right, we have Rasputia as Rasputin, Francine as Frollo, Rebecca as Ratcliffe, Jaya as Jafar, Scarlet as Scar, and Gale as Gaston. Each of the new womanly villains has their evil plans ready to go while looking completely beautiful.
24 A New Take On Prince Hans and Kristoff
This features the two men after the heart of Princess Anna in Frozen. Only one was doing so for completely ridiculous reasons while the other was entirely genuine.
Now we have Prince Hans as a demure Princess and Kristoff, as a female ice harvester.
The two still look like they have the same personalities, with the Princess clearly scheming while the female Kristoff has a look of hopefulness on her face. This fanart shows both the stark contrast between the two characters as well as the differences in their new female forms with their former male forms.
23 No One’s As Pretty As Gaston
via DeviantArt (Miranh)
Art by: Miranh
Of course, Gaston would still be outrageously good looking when he is turned into a woman through the art of fan artistry. This artist did a new take on the Disney villain who's known for being a hairy, burly, handsome man who is also entitled and brutish.
Now, Gaston is of the female variety but still very impressed with her own good looks.
She is even wearing his red and yellow ensemble he wore throughout Beauty and the Beast. It's a truly incredible depiction of the villainous Gaston.
22 Pocahontas And John Smith’s New Love Story
What would have happened if John Smith had actually been a young English woman who was a settler on Pocahontas' tribe's land? And in turn, if Pocahontas was indeed a male tribesman?
They would still fall madly in love, evidently.
The two may be from completely different worlds, but they understand each other and are able to move past their differences not only for the greater good, but to find love within each other. And that has never been more clear than in this artwork of the two in opposite gender roles.
21 Part Of Your World
via Whimsical Publishing
Art by: Micheline Ryckman
It is hard to picture any other little mermaid than Ariel herself. But thanks to this artist's reimagining of The Little Mermaid, we can now see that it is possible. With Prince Eric becoming Princess Erica and Ariel in the role of a merman rather than a mermaid.
He still has fiery, red hair and Princess Erica is wearing a sailor's dress with her long, dark hair flowing.
Even with the gender swap, the two honestly make a gorgeous couple.
20 To Infinity And Beyond
via mohamed-saad.com
Art by: Mohamed Saad
It would be hard to picture anyone else in the role of Buzz Lightyear. And it'd be even more difficult to imagine Buzz as anything other than the strong male astronaut toy that we got to know in the first Toy Story.
But here we see Buzz in a totally different form.
He stills looks like a strong astronaut, but now has beautiful feminine features. It's quite the departure from the Buzz we're familiar with, but the fanart is truly astounding and the detail is impeccable.
19 Nemo’s A Mermaid Now
via Screen Rant
Art by: kayadoodles
Finding Nemo was a Pixar production that told the tale of a young clownfish who gets lost in the Great Barrier Reef, and his father must go on a journey to save him.
In this artist's depiction of the character, though, Nemo is seen more as a hybrid of a mermaid and clownfish.
This new version of the character is quite gorgeous even if it is a lot different than the Nemo we grew up watching. It looks as though The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo had a crossover and it's pretty cool.
18 Aladdin’s Gender Twist
Aladdin is known for being a lot of things, particularly a "street rat," but he is not known as being a female Princess. Here, though, we see the tables have turned and he is the Princess in this tale.
Jasmine's father is seen here, but this time as Princess Aladdin's mother. While Jafar is now a lanky female, as well.
With all of these changes, this artist's new depiction of the classic Disney film looks as if it jumped right off the screen. It's really amazing.
17 Meg And Herc’s New Story
The iconic love story that is Megara and Hercules has been completely redone with the roles reversed. Yes, Hercules is now a female while Megara is now a man that Herc is still trying to woo.
It's a wonderful reiteration of a classic scene between the two unlikely lovebirds.
They are each dressed in their original outfits with a slight twist to better suit their gender role reversal. It would have been seriously interesting to see the movie played out with these two characters in different roles.
16 Captain Hook’s New Look
Art by: MabyMin
Captain Hook is one of the most feared captains on the high seas and has become quite the icon in terms of pop culture pirates. But we know him more for his waxed mustache and his mound of curly hair. Oh, and of course, his sharp hook for a hand.
Yet here, we have a similar depiction of the fearsome pirate Captain, only now she looks more like a pirate wench.
Captain Hook is now a lady, it seems.
And she has a sultry vibe to her that the original Captain certainly didn't possess.
15 John Smith Gets A Makeover
via DeviantArt (WortCat)
Art by: WortCat
Pocahontas and John Smith were star-crossed lovers who were trying to navigate their relationship while turmoil was occurring between their different worlds.
Pocahontas was the heroine of the tale, but what if John Smith was instead?
Yes, it would have been a completely different story to see Pocahontas as the male lead and John Smith as the female protagonist, but it also could have been quite interesting. In this fanart, we get to see just how different that story could have looked, at least from the female John Smith's side of things.
And his look is just as striking in female form.
14 The Beautiful Beast
via Deskgram
Art by: Esther-Shen
The Beast in Beauty and the Beast was a troubled character who learned from his mistakes and became the gorgeous Prince he once was when Belle fell in love with him, fur and all.
But now, the Beast is a female waiting for the Enchanted Rose's last petal to drop.
Of course, I'd imagine she doesn't want that to happen but feels it's inevitable regardless. Perhaps she just needs a handsome version of Belle to come along and save the day.
13 A Whimsical Petra Pan
via Art Tu Brut? - Wordpress.com
Peter Pan is a rambunctious young man who never wants to grow up and won't thanks to Neverland. But we get to see a totally different side of Peter Pan in the form of Petra Pan.
She is most likely just as rambunctious as her male form, but now has long hair and looks more whimsical than we've ever seen Peter.
It's a wonderful piece of artwork done by this fan artist and is easily one of my favorites on this list.
12 Ernesto De La Cruz’s Womanly Side
Art by: Seline Abanto
For anyone who has yet to see the Pixar hit, Coco, shield your eyes from the slight spoilers ahead.
Those of us who have seen the tremendously well-done film knows that Ernesto De La Cruz is the main villain of the movie, but the famous musician has now been reimagined in a new way.
Here, Ernesto is a woman in a very similar garb to her male counterpart. She still loves playing her classic guitar, which means we have to imagine she is just as villainous as the original Ernesto, as well.
11 The Hunchback Gender Swap
Art by: let there be doodles
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a wonderful story detailing the lives of Quasimodo, Esmeralda and her love, Phoebus.
While Esmeralda was the object of Quasimodo's affection, he accepted that she loved Phoebus and put his love for her aside. It was beautiful yet tragic, and here we see a well-known scene with the three being reimagined in this fanart.
The three are being attacked thanks to Frollo, but now Quasimodo and Phoebus are the heroines of the story, while Esmeralda is the dashing young man. It is a totally revamped version of the classic story.
10 Captain Jaqueline Sparrow
Captain Jack Sparrow is the infamous pirate captain that was at the helm of the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. He played an integral part in the storylines throughout each film and is known for his uniquely hilarious personality.
In the franchise, Sparrow has long, brown hair with smudged eyeliner lining his eyes and a goatee to finish off the pirate look.
In this fanart, though, the main difference is the goatee is gone and there is now a woman in the role of Captain Jack.
Captain Jaqueline may look far more feminine here, but she still is rocking the same pirate garb as Captain Jack.
9 Jackie And Sal
Art by: NoFlutter
A pin-up inspired fanart of the iconic Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas is amazing enough, but especially so when you see it's also gender-swapped. Jack is now taking on the role of Jackie and looks like the epitome of pin-up doll. Then there's Sally as the male lead.
To top it all off, they even included Zero but instead of a ghostly dog, it's a ghostly cat.
All of the changes are great while still making it feel similar to the original versions of the characters.
8 Emperor Kuzco Is All Dolled Up
via DeviantArt (ChichiriYuki)
Art by: ChichiriYuki
The Emperor's New Groove is hands-down one of the most underrated Disney films. And Kuzco, the Emperor, is known for being outrageous and arrogant which is why he is turned into a llama.
In this fanart of the Emperor from the Disney film, she is looking gorgeous despite her saucy and vain personality.
She is still wearing a very similar outfit as the original Kuzco, but now has a full face of makeup on with gorgeous long hair. This gender-swap has definitely helped Kuzco in the looks department.
7 The Tramp Is Now A Lady
via DeviantArt (Kitchiki)
Art by: Kitchiki
Who could forget the beautiful love story that unfolded between the Lady and the Tramp in the film by the same name? The two were not meant to end up together by society's standards, but their love could not keep them apart.
This artist decided to give the beloved pup, Tramp, female features in her facial structure to look the part of a lady. The artist succeeded and now this new version of the Tramp looks gorgeous and like the perfect fit for Lady.
6 Rapunzel And Flynn Switched Places
via DeviantArt (DarlingDreamer94)
Art by: DarlingDreamer94
Flynn Rider and Rapunzel started out as enemies of sorts but eventually turned their relationship into that of romance. And this fanart looks like it starts out at that good point in their relationship.
Flynn is seen here as a woman and is even carrying a frying pan that Rapunzel had hit him on the head within Tangled. While Rapunzel is a man with short, brown hair. This indicates they already have their happy ending since that is what happened when Rapunzel cut off her long, blonde, magical hair.
The two still make a darling couple.
5 Young Kristoff And Sven With A Twist
Art by: juliajm15
Kristoff and his reindeer Sven are known for being best buddies in the Frozen film. Even when they were young, they were inseparable and the same goes for the female versions of their characters, it seems.
Here, Sven is a young, female reindeer while Kristoff is a grade-school-age girl.
They still share carrots while learning the art of ice harvesting, too. It is a pretty cute depiction of the two best friends and what they would look like if they were females instead.
4 A Cast Of New Disney Females
Some of the best Disney leading men are now being depicted here by this fan artist in new female forms. From left to right, top to bottom, we have Kristoff, Prince Hans, Phoebus, Prince Naveen, Milo, and Tarzan all being portrayed as women.
They still look very much like their original characters in certain ways, but the artist has made some alterations to little details in their faces or outfits to give it a look of authenticity in their new feminine looks. It's truly great.
3 Cinderella And Prince Charming In Swapped Roles
via DeviantArt (Willemijn1991)
Art by: Willemijn1991
Cinderella and her Prince Charming have completely swapped genders and roles. Now, Cinderella is a Prince in a very similar icy, blue outfit. Instead of a ballgown, though, he is wearing a suit. And Prince Charming is also wearing a similar ensemble but is now decidedly more womanly in her ballgown.
The two are still falling in love before our eyes, regardless of the change in their roles.
It seems that no matter what alternate universe they find themselves in, they will always find each other.
2 Flynn Is Now A Woman
Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, as we all know, did not start out on the best of terms. But eventually, they fell for one another and Rapunzel even saved his life by the end of Tangled.
Now, we get to see the process of the two falling in love, but with Flynn in the role of a woman, instead.
Rapunzel is still in her normal, womanly form. But Flynn is a female who is progressively falling faster for the beautiful Rapunzel. It is a really sweet version of the two by this fan artist.
1 The Leading Women Of Disney Films
via DeviantArt (legend654)
Art by: legend654
Some of the starring male characters in Disney films play such huge pivotal roles in the plotlines that it's difficult to imagine a story without them. But in this fanart, we don't have to imagine the story without them; we just have to imagine them as the heroine now in their story's.
Hercules, Milo Thatch, Prince Eric, Flynn Rider, and Peter Pan have all received the genderswap treatment.
They each look gorgeous while still retaining certain features that made their characters who they are. It's a really astounding take on the characters.

Stubby palm trees to make their mark
null | 7 Nov 2017 11:55 PM GMT
The high yielding stubby palm trees, Girika thati chetlu in local parlance, will soon be an income-generating source to Gouda community. Although the plantation of stubby palm trees is being encouraged by the government through Haritha Haram, this is the first time that a district administration has come forward to promote it as a pilot project in a mission mode.
Sircilla/Warangal: The high yielding stubby palm trees, Girika thati chetlu in local parlance, will soon be an income-generating source to Gouda community. Although the plantation of stubby palm trees is being encouraged by the government through Haritha Haram, this is the first time that a district administration has come forward to promote it as a pilot project in a mission mode.
The stubby palm trees spread in Pakala forest area under Warangal Rural district, which produce no fewer 50 liters a day during the season, have been famous for its taste and medicinal values with toddy lovers across the region flocking to consume. The earnings accrued through the trade are being shared by the members of the local Gouda community.
These trees short in height, around 20 feet, are easy to tap the toddy. It may be mentioned here that the height of the palm trees other than Giraka thati variety which we find all across the State is around 40 feet. This variety trees start to yield in seven years. Against this backdrop, the stubby palm trees are already being supplied to people under Haritha Haram programme.
Speaking to The Hans India, Rajanna-Sircilla District Collector Krishna Bhaskar said: “The initiative is the brainchild of the MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao, who also represents Sircilla. With KTR’s MLA Local Area Development funds, we have distributed 1,300 stubby palm trees worth around Rs 2.62 lakh to Gouda community.” The plan is to provide long-term sustenance.
These high yielding palm trees which produce toddy six months in a year is a lucrative scheme for the toddy-tappers, he added. The saplings aged between one-and-a-half year and three years have been procured from Kadiam nurseries near Rajahmundry for the pilot project.
The initiative not only helps the toddy-tappers develop economically but also controls adulterated toddy trade, the district prohibition and excise officer A Srinivasulu Naidu said. He said that plans are afoot to procure another 11,000 saplings to take up the plantation in 70 acres spread across 16 villages in the district.
A Ramesh, a member of Goud Sangham of Peddur village under Sircilla mandal who received a sapling said: “The trees currently we tap toddy from are just giving around 5 liters a day. The stubby variety would be a boon for us to develop economically.” In Jangaon district, MLA Errabelli Dayakar Rao donated around 15,000 stubby palm trees to Gouda Sangham in his Palakurthy constituency for their economic development.

REVIEW: Sara Lee Original Cheesecake Bites
July 8, 2009 December 29, 2017 Marvo Reviews
Cheesecake is one of those special desserts that one would only buy to celebrate an important occasion or because they’re at a Cheesecake Factory. I don’t know of anyone who eats cheesecake on a regular basis, and why would anyone? Despite how delicious they are, cheesecake is also packed with calories and saturated fat, so much so that it makes ice cream blush. Just one slice can makes someone feel like they’ve eaten an entire meal. But it seems Sara Lee (who I just found out is not Asian) wants people to eat more cheesecake with her Sara Lee Original Cheesecake Bites.
Each container has 40 ready-to-eat pieces, which means after you eat the first one, you have 39 opportunities to stop eating it. Where you stop depends on your body’s will power. Forty pieces may sound like it’s a lot, but when you see those 40 pieces in its container, it doesn’t look like very much and it’s quite easy to eat half of them, which would be bad, because I imagine death by cheesecake is not how anyone would like to go. Each square bite, which measures at three-fourths of an inch wide and a half of an inch tall, has 20 calories. Through the power of addition, you can get an idea of when to stop. If you were to eat only five of them, you would have consumed 100 calories. If you eat ten of them, that’s 200 calories. If you eat 20 of them in one sitting, you do not care about your body.
Unfortunately, the folks at Sara Lee don’t know how to add. According to the nutrition facts on the back of the packaging, a serving size of 24 bites has 440 calories. I don’t know if they forgot to carry over a number, put a decimal point in the wrong place or had a blindfolded monkey poke at a calculator, but according to my calculations, which I double and triple checked without a blindfold, if one bite has 20 calories, then 24 bites should have 480 calories.
The cheesecake itself tastes like 24 bites should have 480 calories because it’s somewhat rich, although not overly rich. It also had a slight tangy flavor like some cheesecakes do, but the crust was hardly noticeable. Besides the nutritional content, another item that bothered me was the formation of ice crystals on the bites after I first opened, which can be a bad thing with frozen foods because it’s a sign of possible freezer burn. Fortunately, it didn’t taste like there was any freezer burn.
Overall, it wasn’t the best cheesecake I’ve had and that’s what I expected. But it’s not bad for something that’s frozen, cut up into pieces and served in a tub container.  If Sara Lee is trying to push for more cheesecake consumption, I think she might be able to do so with the Sara Lee Original Cheesecake Bites, if people don’t mind mediocre cheesecake.
(Nutrition Facts – 24 cheesecake bites – 440 calories, 27 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 340 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 25 grams of sugar and 7 grams of protein.)
Item: Sara Lee Original Cheesecake Bites
Size: 40 bites
Purchased at: 7-Eleven
Pros: Decent tangy flavor. Not bad for something that’s frozen, cut up into pieces and served in a tub container. Bites make it easier to portion control, unless you have no control.
Cons: Mediocre cheesecake. Crust was hardly noticeable. 40 bites doesn’t look like much. Sara Lee doesn’t know how to add. Ice crystals. Nutrition facts appear to be inaccurate. Just as decadent as regular cheesecake. Sara Lee is not Asian.
26 thoughts to “REVIEW: Sara Lee Original Cheesecake Bites”
Erin Brooks says:
Lol ya you should contact Sara Lee and tell them about the mess up in the nutrition content. It’s probably easier to eat the whole container of these since they don’t look like much. Ice crystals on cheese cake sucks! Not cool at all!
Yum Yucky says:
I’ve been tempted to buy like a thousand times, but now I won’t.
Ice crystals + cheesecake = NOT!
I am so glad that I am not a huge cheesecake fan. If I am going to have cheesecake I need the best
Bear Silber says:
“…But it seems Sara Lee (who I just found out is not Asian)” – Hahha.
I agree with Yum Yucky… Ice crystals + cheesecake = NOT! Apparently math is not friendly to Mrs. Lee.
I also don’t like when my bites are portioned for me….how do they know my bite size, huh? It’s more often than not to big and when it’s too small I feel like less of a man. Is there an errant forumla they use for that too? A/T * C = B (where A=Average mouth size, T = Total calories, C = Calorie per bite, B = Bite Size?)
Oh….one last thing….you bring up a good point…cheesecake SHOULD be eaten more regularly, I love me some cake o’ cheese…wait that’s different.
Good thing these weren’t rated higher because I can see myself getting addicted. Then you might see me on A&E’s Intervention. Haven’t had cheesecake in a long time.
nuttyturnip says:
These things are highly addictive. They don’t look like much (ice crystals and all) but they taste remarkably good considering they come chopped up in a cardboard container.
They don’t even have a fruit topping? Very disapointing.
I like Sara Lee’s pound cake better…
“Crust was hardly noticeable”
With cheesecake, that’s as big of a con as it gets.
wouldibuyitagain says:
$5.99?! Kind of pricey. I am a little surprised that the Cheesecake Factory has yet to whore out their name to similar products.
angry bob says:
angry bob once knew an Asian hooker named Sara Li. Probably a little old (or possibly dead) for you Marvo, but angry bob can try to look her up if you’d like.
I think I’d rather have ice cream bites. Or cheesecake flavored ice cream.
They’re generally $4.99 (or less on sale) at Safeway and SuperFresh around Baltimore. And yes, there is a strawberry cheesecake variety; I’ve never actually tried the plain ones.
@wouldibuyitagain – At Sam’s club the Cheesecake Factory has some of the cheesecakes there. I try to resist all cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory due to how huge the portions are and hate sharing my food
grinder says:
Even bad cheescake is still pretty good.
@Erin Brooks: I’m sure they’re allowed to do it. I’m sure there’s some FDA rule that says they can. Just like companies can say 10% calcium means they can say on the packaging “Good Source of Calcium”
@Yum Yucky: I shall tempt you 1001 times. Oh, these cheesecake bites are soooo good, but not really. I know you want some. Yummy!
amanda: But sometimes we have to settle for stuff that’s not the best because of money or because we’re drunk.
@Bear Silber: I don’t mind it. It just means less work for me to do. No more cutting or using a knife, which in my hands is dangerous.
@Ryan: I think you’d be fine because you run a fast food blog, but hardly eat fast food. I don’t know how you’re able to do that. 🙂
@nuttyturnip: I must have good will power because I’ve been nursing the same container for the past week. I’m down to the last three bites.
@lex: There’s a strawberry flavored one, but I don’t think it’s a topping.
@brad: They should’ve made it have a crust coating. Mmm…crust.
@wouldibuyitagain: I bought it at a convenience store, so that price is slightly higher than grocery stores. I just saw it at Safeway for $4.99.
@angry bob: Was she related to Chun Li?
@Chuck: I definitely would prefer ice cream bites and cheesecake bites over vampire bites.
@grinder: Yes, you’re right. I guess it’s like pizza, sex and Japanese game shows.
slurm says:
You’d think it would make more sense to make the serving size 20 pieces, since there are 40 in the package!
Long says:
I got these a long time ago, at half price, and with a coupon, that got me under two dollars. The strawberry cheesecake of course. The original I didn’t like much. They also had them in caramel and cookies’n’cremes.
I believe a lot of the numbers are rounded so people can keep track of their calories, so I wouldn’t be surprised that the numbers are inaccurate. Considering that, each piece would be 18 and a third calories.
I’ll bet that Ms. Lee’s math would be better, were she Asian.
They have caramel and cookies n’ cream!! Sold! ha ha
Neil the hammer says:
too sweet, too tangy, too thick, and cost way too much.
ummm I believe i will buy 4 packages of them
@slurm: I agree about the serving size being 20 pieces. It makes a lot more sense.
@Long: Ugh…why didn’t I have a coupon? I needz coupon cutting skillz.
@Alisha: It might’ve been better, but I am proof that some Asian do suck at math. 6 x 9 = I dunno.
@amanda: Cookies and cream does sound tantalizing. I might be able to eat that whole container in one sitting, but not the original flavor.
@Neil the hammer: Don’t forget to use coupons. It seems like everyone else who bought these did.
ohwow says:
I don’t think the nutritional info is messed up. 440 / 24 = 18.3 per piece…so they just rounded that up to 20 per piece. Nutritional labels usually use numbers that end in 0 or 5 for the calorie section.
Lane O says:
I should have you review my cheesecake.
@ohwow: I think that’s a little deceptive. It may not seem like much, but let’s just say that someone really likes these cheesecake bites and eats one container every month. If it’s two rounded up calories per bite then, 80 calories per container per month. Multiply that by 12 and it’s 960 calories per year. I think that’s a lot.
@Lane O: Do you sell them in stores? 😉
tadege says:
Sara lee products are the worst you can find., Cheese cake? Cool wipp wuth a squees of lemon, dont let them cheat you.

Lucy Dacus unveils new single “Forever Half Mast”
By Cerys Kenneally / 25 June 2019, 15:13 BST
Photo by Elizabeth Weinberg
Lucy Dacus has returned with her new single "Forever Half Mast" ahead of Independence Day.
"Forever Half Mast" is the third single from Dacus' holiday-themed singles series, 2019, after "My Mother & I" and her cover of Edith Piaf’s "La Vie En Rose".
Speaking about the new single, which arrives ahead of American Independence Day, Dacus says, "There is a daily dissonance one endures as an American wherein much of our joy is counterweighted by shame, where much of our pride lives in tandem with injustice and suffering. "Forever Half Mast" is about confronting this unavoidable culpability as an American citizen and consumer. Instead of allowing this guilt to paralyze us, we should try to let it influence us in positive ways."
2019 will also include singles for Bruce Springsteen’s birthday, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year's.
"Forever Half Mast" is out now via Matador. Lucy Dacus plays Denmark's Roskilde Festival later this week. Find out more.

21 Dreamiest White Sand Beaches in the World
(This post may contain affiliate links. Find more info in my disclaimer)
Dreaming of the softest and whitest of white sand beaches? Of course you are – its everyone’s favourite vacation fantasy! But where to find such a beach? Here are 21 of the very best exotic sandy beaches in the whole wide world.
Help to keep our beaches clean – leave no trace, pack your reef-safe sunscreen – and don’t touch the wildlife.
KOH LIPE, THAILAND
Idyllic Sunrise Beach (or Hat Chao Ley) on the island of Koh Lipe is classic Thailand. Koh Lipe is an island in the Andaman Sea, near the border with Malaysia, and here you’ll find 2km of lovely sand and crystal clear waters. Stay in a beach bungalow to catch the amazing sunrises that the beach is known for.
NUNGWI, ZANZIBAR
The Tanzanian island of Zanzibar is pretty much a byword for ‘exotic’. Head to the northern end of the island for the palm-lined bright white sands of Nungwi beach, traditional boats, corals and a turtle conservation pond.
ANSE SOURCE D’ARGENT, SEYCHELLES
Anse Source d’Argent – the picture of a thousand desktop screensavers! Its famous granite rock formations look like something from The Flintstones. A ticket is required to enter this haven of powdery sand and turquoise seas – grab a coconut on your way in.
CHIA, SARDINIA
Pink flamingos, powdery dunes and juniper bushes are what you’ll find at the Bay of Chia on Sardinia, widely regarded as the best beach on the island (although there are many contenders!). Sardinia is pretty much home to the best sandy beaches in Europe. The main beach alone is 3km of sandy loveliness.
MAYAN BEACH, MEXICO
For sand so fine it squeaks under your feet as you walk, consider a trip to Mexico’s Riviera Maya. The jungle-backed Mayan Beach at Tulum delights history buffs with its Mayan ruins right by the Caribbean Sea.
GRACE BAY, TURKS AND CAICOS
Is Grace Bay the most perfect beach in the world? Polls of the internet (including Tripadvisor) certainly seem to think so. Head to Grace Bay for miles of pristine shore, luxury resorts, scuba diving, and plenty more islands to explore.
BALOS, GREECE
Another showstopper that regularly tops polls is Balos, an otherworldly lagoon of shapeshifting pinkish sands amongst inviting waters. Balos is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece and a natural paradise – keep an eye out for the area’s falcons and turtles.
NORTHERN MADAGASCAR
The first thing that springs to mind when you think of Madagascar is probably cute animals. Or maybe chocolate, or weird trees?
But Madagascar is just across the channel from Tanzania and Mozambique so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it has stunning beaches. Just off the northwestern coast are a cluster of paradise islands such as Nosy Iranja (pictured) and the main resort Nosy Be.
The famous White Beach on Boracay gets all the press in the Philippines, but beach bums in the know dodge the crowds and head to Cebu and its surrounding islands. Fulfil your desert island fantasies on dreamy Bantayan island with its crisp white sands and bathwater seas. Smack-bang in the middle of the Philippines, Bantayan is small but mighty – it’s getting a rep as one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
PERNAMBUCO, BRAZIL
For beach bliss with a hint of wilderness, look no further than Brazil’s Pernambuco region where you’ll find the remote Praia dos Carneiros. Surrounded by mangroves and tall swaying palm trees, Carneiros’ white sands meet the cool waters of the Formosa river. If Carneiros is a bit rustic for you, try the tourist-friendly Porto de Galinhas.
WHITSUNDAYS, AUSTRALIA
No list of white sandy beaches would be complete without Australia’s iconic Whitehaven Beach on Australia’s Whitsunday Island. Whitehaven’s trademark 7km of swirling sands are composed of fine silica which remains cool to walk on even in the heat. It’s been named the top eco-friendly beach in the world – leave your dogs and cigarettes at home as they’re not allowed on the beach.
Some of Europe’s most jaw-dropping beach scenery is found on the French island of Corsica. At Santa Giulia, sugar-soft sands meet electric blue seas – all with a rugged green backdrop. Pull up a sunlounger or take a paddle in the shallow family-friendly waters.
Honeymooners’ favourite the Maldives is definitely up there when you think of tropical beaches with immaculate white sand. With over 1000 islands you’re spoilt for choice, but Fulhadoo and Rangali are two picture-perfect examples of palm-fringed paradise.
French Polynesia is the destination of choice for beach lovers in the Southern Hemisphere. And its most beautiful beach is found on the island of Bora Bora. With distinctive Mount Otemanu looming in the background, Matira Beach is a classic South Pacific – expect hammocks, coconuts, sharks, rays and luxury resorts aplenty.
ANTIPAXOS, GREECE
A short boat ride from some of Greece’s most popular beach destinations, the tiny Ionian island of Antipaxos quietly keeps its idyllic beaches (namely Vrika and Voutoumi), shimmering seas and simple pleasures to itself. It’s not the easiest island to reach but you’ll be rewarded with a true slice of the good life.
The Spanish island of Mallorca has long been a popular vacation hotspot thanks to its plentiful white sandy beaches, some of the best in Europe. The cream of the crop is the resort of Alcudia with its organised ‘golden mile’, which gradually morphs into the 6km Playa Muro where there is space – and soft white sands – enough for everyone.
SAONA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Little Saona Island lies off the coast of the Dominican Republic. Its protected beaches are home to starfish, turtles, startling white sands, and seas that almost glow green. The secluded Canto de la Playa is the best beach on the island.
DIANI, KENYA
The exquisite white sands of Diani Beach in Kenya have been named Africa’s top beach countless times. It’s Kenya’s top beach resort, and for good reason. Backed by lush palm forest and kissed by the Indian Ocean, the vast beach here has something for everyone.
CALA TURQUETA, MENORCA
Tranquillity and turquoise are the order of the day on Spanish island Menorca, where the seas are a dream for swimmers and idle paddlers alike and the flawless white sand beaches are backed by fragrant pines. The best sands and crystalline seas are at small unspoilt Cala Turqueta.
SHOAL BAY, ANGUILLA
The pearly-white sands of Shoal Bay stretch for over 2km and take on a pinkish tinge at the end. This superior beach is one of the best in the Caribbean and the colour of the water is an intense shade of blue. Enjoy a cocktail at one of the laid back beach cafes and watch the spectacular sunset whilst the waves lap at your feet.
KSAMIL, ALBANIA
A rising star in the Mediterranean’s canon of amazing beaches is the beauty spot Ksamil in Albania, home to some of the brightest turquoise waters you’ll find in Europe. There are several small islands off the coast of Ksamil – perfect for exploring by boat trip.

The legendary journalist Howell Raines reports from Alabama on the continuing Republican support for Roy Moore, the Senate candidate accused of molesting a 14-year-old and sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl. Meanwhile, his Democratic opponent, the heroic civil-rights attorney Doug Jones, is running “the most vigorous Democratic campaign that’s been waged in Alabama in at least 30 years.”
Also, Trump and the bomb: We’re hoping the generals keep him from doing anything crazy, like starting a nuclear war with North Korea—but the system is set up to give the president control over nuclear weapons, rather than the military. Adam Shatz explains.
Plus: The reactionary mind of Donald Trump: Corey Robin talks about Trump’s place in the tradition of reactionary political thought—his book The Reactonary Mind: from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump is out now in a new paperback edition.

Thermo Fisher acquires Patheon for $7.2bn
Scientific instruments maker Thermo Fisher has acquired a Dutch drug company in new push towards biopharma manufacturing
By James Stannard | Tuesday, May 16th, 2017
Marc Casper, CEO of Thermo Fisher
May 16 saw Thermo Fisher, the world’s largest manufacturer of scientific instruments, acquire drug ingredients maker Patheon for $7.2bn, including $2bn debt. Since the companies’ customers overlap, the move could boost Thermo Fisher’s sales as it offers more holistic solutions and products.
The news caused Patheon shares to jump 33 percent and Thermo Fisher’s to rise by 0.5 percent. Thermo Fisher expects $120m of synergies by 2021, which includes $90m of savings.
“Patheon’s development and manufacturing capabilities are an excellent complement to our industry-leading offering for the biopharma market”, said Marc Casper, CEO of Thermo Fisher. “Patheon’s commitment to quality and service excellence is directly aligned with our focus on helping our biopharma customers accelerate innovation and drive productivity.”
The news caused Patheon shares to jump 33 percent and Thermo Fisher’s to rise by 0.5 percent
Recently, Thermo Fisher has been on a spending spree, buying Affymetrix, a microarrays producer, for $1.3bn last March and FEI, a microscope manufacturer, for $4.2bn in September. In 2014, it also purchased DNA sequencer Life Technologies for $15bn. With its portfolio currently focused on equipment, research and analytics, the shift to drug manufacturing is a relatively unconventional step.
The incentive is that contract drug development is a lucrative, $40bn market that is presently expanding at five percent annually. Whereas Thermo Fisher used to be held back from this area due to the high cost of clinical trials, the acquisition of Patheon should allow it to take big, confident strides toward manufacturing.
This new direction is also a result of Thermo Fisher’s enthusiastic spending spree. Despite causing its shares to roughly triple in value over the past five years, the many buy-ups have also meant that there are fewer good companies left in Thermo Fisher’s regular fields of interest. As such, rather than purchase an overpriced or lower quality firm, Thermo Fisher chose new frontiers with Patheon.
Drug manufacturing is a relatively open field, with its 10 biggest companies constituting just 35 percent of the market. As such, there is plenty of room for further expansion, and regulatory hurdles should be surmountable as Thermo Fisher moves to close the Patheon deal by the end of the year.

All of this detaining and moneymaking will happen in our backyard.
The center’s average daily population was roughly 1,000 in March, the most recent month for which figures are available, The News Tribune’s Alexis Krell reported.
As Tacomans, the question is: Do we care?
I mean, really care?
With the previous deal set to expire, ICE put the contract up for bid late last year. And though contract negotiations with GEO were drawn out, and involved two temporary extensions, the fact that the company that has operated the Northwest Detention Center since 2005 won came as little surprise.
After all, awarding the contract to another private prison company likely would have meant moving the Northwest Detention Center’s detainees to another facility.
Considering the investments made over the years to turn the 1,575 bed Northwest Detention Center into one of the most massive immigration detention centers in the country — not to mention the pains taken by former city council members to help bring it here — a different outcome was unlikely, to put it mildly.
“Not a big surprise,” Jorge Baron, director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in Seattle told me when I asked about the new contract. “I’m always wondering, who else is going to do it? I mean, they already have this big facility there. … (Contract negotiations) just seem like a pretense.”
In other words, 11 years after the Northwest Detention Center opened, detaining immigrants on the Tideflats — on the site of a former meat packing plant, and smack dab in the middle of Mount Rainier’s potential lahar path — has become business as usual in Tacoma.
I’m not the only person who takes issue with the for-profit detainment of those whose immigration status is being challenged by the federal government, justly or unjustly. In September, roughly 60 protesters gathered outside the detention center in an effort to stop deportations from the facility. And in May, tempers flared over allegations of abuse at the hands of detention center guards. All of this came on the heels of well-documented hunger strikes at the facility in 2014.
Still, for most of Tacoma, it feels like what happens on the Tideflats is conveniently out of sight, out of mind.
“I do presentations in Tacoma all the time, and people don’t even know we have the fourth largest immigration detention center in the country in our backyard,” Baron tells me. “It’s this hidden thing that people are not aware of. … I think there have been good efforts to draw attention to it, but despite this I still find people are not paying enough attention.”
If there’s hope to be found in any of this — even glimmers — it comes from people like Tacoma’s U.S. Rep Adam Smith, who over the years has become a pointed critic of privatized immigration detention and the NWDC.
“We need to get private, for-profit companies out of the business of running immigration detention facilities,” Smith said in a statement released Tuesday, shortly after news of the GEO contract broke.
Smith has twice introduced legislation to establish transparent standards within immigration facilities and eliminate matters such as the federal detention bed mandate, which requires ICE to have at least 34,000 detention beds for immigrants at any given time. He is also working to end contractual promises to provide detention centers guaranteed numbers of detainees each day.
So far, Smith’s work in Washington, D.C., has gone unrewarded. And perhaps that’s no surprise, given the ramped-up immigration rhetoric of late and what Baron calls the growing “fortress America” mentality.
Let’s hope he keeps pushing.
“This contract is a symbol of systemic problems in our immigration detention system that we must fix,” Smith’s statement continued. “... Until Congress takes action to address these issues, we are left with a flawed detention policy that benefits private corporations at high cost to taxpayers, detainees and families of those affected.”
For Tacoma to do its part, the first step is to stop turning a blind eye.

Leftists disagree also
Peter A. Brown
The conventional wisdom that immigration reform splits the Republican Party is correct, but less understood is that the issue does the same thing to the Democratic coalition, too.
In fact, looking below the surface, it’s clear that in terms of public opinion, the socioeconomic divide is greater than the partisan one.
Part of the reason for this misconception is that the Republican intra-party fight is much more public. President Bush and many of his congressional allies are clearly split on the issue.
Since Democrats hold neither the White House nor Congress they are less in the media spotlight. And these days, with Bush’s lousy poll numbers, the Democratic game plan is to keep quiet and let their political enemies hang themselves.
But a survey of voter attitudes toward various immigration proposals shows that self-identified Democratic voters have similar divisions on the issue to their GOP brethren. And the opposition of the AFL-CIO to “guest worker” legislation advocated by many Democratic leaders shows this schism.
Simply put, the split in American politics over immigration, much as it is on questions about international trade, is sharpest along socioeconomic lines.
The more educated and affluent people are, regardless of whether they are a Democrat, Republican or independent, the less they are inclined to see the need for immigration reform solely to toughen laws and beef up security.
That’s the message from a Quinnipiac University poll of almost 2,000 U.S. voters released in March. The size of the sample almost double the typical 1,000 person national sample allows analysis of differences along socioeconomic and political lines.
On virtually every immigration question, Democrats are less likely than Republicans or independents to back “get-tough” measures. But on most questions the differences along party lines are smaller than they are within members of the same party.
When asked if legal immigration should be kept steady, increased or decreased, 32 percent of Republicans and independents and 35 percent of Democrats favor the status quo.
But analyzing the numbers by party and education shows a different story. Among Republicans with a high school degree or less, 30 percent want to keep immigration at its present level, as do 34 percent of similarly educated Democrats. Yet, 41 percent of both Republican and Democratic college grads feel that way.
Overall, 21 percent of Republicans and 26 percent of Democrats want an increase in immigration. But that 5 point split is less than half the 13-point gap between Democrats with high school educations (18 percent) and those with college degrees (31 percent). The Republican intra-party split is 5 points 17 percent among the least educated and 22 percent among the most educated.
Asked whether Congress should change the law to make it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers, the same pattern appears.
There is a 7-point difference in support between Democrats and Republicans _ 44 percent to 37 percent. But among Republicans the gap in support between those with a high-school diploma or less and a college degree or more is 12 points 30 percent to 42 percent. Among Democrats, the difference is 22 points 36 percent among those with high school education compared to 58 percent among those with college degrees.
Presumably, the politicians understand these differences more than the journalists who have created the incomplete conventional wisdom. But the implications of the numbers should not be lost on anyone thinking about running for political office.
The demonstrations in recent weeks, orchestrated by groups opposing legislation that would beef up border enforcement and make it more difficult for those without documents to work or stay in the United States illegally, obscure the widespread public support for such steps.
That is obviously one of the reasons why the prospects for any real change in U.S. immigration policy becoming law this year are slim. But another is that the schism the issue creates in American politics is on both sides of the political aisle.

Chapter Eleven – David, Part One
“But how do you know how to do this if you don’t have the Gift?” Mecca looked at him with her big, chestnut eyes. Teresa’s eyes. Sorrow stabbed him in the gut. Theresa had been gone almost two years. He didn’t think he’d ever be used to not having her around.
“I helped my dad when he trained Ken, remember? I spent so much time letting him suck the energy out of me, I started feeling like a gas pump!” He grinned and was rewarded with Mecca’s ringing laugh. A fleeting feeling of deja vu slid over him.
Her hand rested on his arm. They were doing what his dad had always called Aura Exercises. It didn’t have anything to do with visual aura. It referred to the energy aura he knew Mecca could feel around him. He kept himself tightly shielded so he wouldn’t seem different from any other person. Difficult, but he’d been accomplishing it well, he thought.
“Okay, now draw just a little from me. Not much. Just like a sip of water.” He opened a tiny hole in his mental defenses so she would have something to draw from. He felt the tug of her energy, pulling his own out like liquid through a funnel.
“Is that right? I can feel it. Wow.” The small voice she used reminded him of what she’d sounded like as a very young girl, not a girl who’d just entered her teens.
“That’s it. You’re doing it exactly right. Now, slow down. Feel it almost stop. Just a trickle. Good girl. Now stop altogether. Excellent. You’re getting better. Now tell me what you felt.”
Mecca leaned back in her chair, breaking contact with him. Her chest rose and fell quickly, from the energy rush. He knew from experience that it took a while to learn how to integrate the energy so it didn’t feel like she’d just touched a live wire. She’d get the hang of it.
“I could feel you. Like you know how clothes can feel static-y when you take them out of the dryer? All sticking together and stuff? I could feel that around your skin when I first touched you.”
David nodded.
“Then I just imagined myself pulling at that.”She grinned at him, her smile wide and beautiful. “I could feel your energy coming into me. And now I’m really hyper.”
He laughed. “Okay, go on outside and run it off. It’ll be good practice for the track tryouts. Just be home before dark.”
From the bay window in the kitchen, David watched her head toward the trees. The back of the house bordered on a small, wooded area with running trails. Mecca, sprinting in that direction, looked back and waved. Foreboding gathered in David’s gut like a stone.
Something wasn’t right.
The day darkened, but Mecca ran on, her dark ponytail bouncing side to side. The sun disappeared.
Too fast. It shouldn’t be dark yet.
The sense of familiarity that had persisted suddenly broke. The yard’s floodlights flashed on, illuminating the backyard. But light never touched the entrance to the woods. Sick panic snaked through his veins.
“Mecca!” He raised his hand to the window.
She kept jogging until she reached the mouth of the trail that led into the blackness. He saw the vivid green of her jogging suit in the bright lights. Without warning, three shadows tore out from the woods and enveloped her. She screamed—screamed for him.
David crashed through the window and ran toward her. The trail at her back warped and shifted and became a tunnel. His legs felt heavy and slow, like he moved through water. He watched, horrified, as she struggled beneath the shadow-forms.
Her wiry legs kicked out, but she never made contact with any of them. One pulled her ponytail backward, arching her back and exposing her neck. Wheeled around, she faced the house, and he could see the caramel color of her soft skin before the largest of the figures smashed his teeth into her neck.
Her scream rang out and then withered into a sharp gurgle. The shadow-monster ripped upward. Where there had been the beauty of his daughter’s neck, now was only bloody gore punctuated by wet, choking sounds.
Something yanked at his ankle. Or maybe he just stumbled. He skidded on the grass. His chin hit the ground with a brain-rattling snap of his jaw. He wanted to pull himself up, but his limbs wouldn’t cooperate. It was like the earth held him tight and wouldn’t let him go. He couldn’t get to her. He could only lie there and listen to Mecca’s watery, sucking breaths.
It took only moments for the sounds to peter away, leaving the gentle chirrup of crickets. He lay his forehead on the ground. Sobs raged from his throat, rumbling out of him like a bullet train.
When he quieted, many tears later, he realized he’d been hearing a rustling up ahead for some time. The soft scrape of something dragged through grass. He thought about just lying there. Staying and letting whatever it was have him. He had no idea where the vampires were—certainly they were vampires—but he no longer cared.
Mecca was gone. Nothing mattered.
That rustling again. Irregular, but constant.
His head felt heavy, but he lifted it, raised his gaze to see what made the sounds. The world had settled dark and hazy, but he made out her shape, moving along, close to the ground.
Bile rose in his throat.
She dragged her torso along. He saw the grisly wound in her neck. Blood glinted scarlet in the dim light from the house. It covered her lips and chin, dripped from her mouth, from her neck. The grass below her became stained with it as she moved.
He looked into her eyes and saw nothing he recognized. She was no longer the thirteen year old girl he’d been teaching just minutes ago. Fully grown, her shirt had been ripped open, exposing her small breasts as she pulled herself along the ground toward him. Her eyes twinkled with animal need, her lips upturned in an utterly grotesque smile. Her canine teeth had grown long and pointy.
He backed away on his hands and knees. Fear pricked through his veins, and his belly jumped in protest. He barely turned his head in time—vomit spewed from him with such violence, it seared his throat. He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth.
She still came toward him. “Daddy—I need you, Daddy. Come, let me touch you.” That voice, low and guttural, carried a promise that made him want to puke again.
Within four feet of him now, the thing that could not be Mecca scrambled closer.
David’s limbs wouldn’t work. Panic brushed the edges of his mind. Losing control—even insanity—seemed almost welcome. He held it all at bay as he pulled his knees under him and crawled backward.
The world shifted, and he was on his feet with Mecca standing before him. Her hand extended toward him, and he recoiled. He backed away until a solid wall blocked his path. How did he get so close to the house?
She pressed her body against his. The coppery smell of her blood engulfed him. He convulsed with a dry heave.
“Mecca,” he whispered. “Please.”
She smiled and flicked her tongue over one of her teeth. “I love you, Daddy,” she said in a lilty, quiet voice, wholly unlike the one he loved.
She turned his head to the side. Her sharp teeth pressed against his skin. His mind tripped, and his heart broke. A strange mix of sadness, dread, and inevitability whirled through him.
She’d set the path. He could only follow.
As her fangs broke his skin, he shot his energy out, straight into her and zeroed in on what remained of her life essence. He clamped his arms around her and drew her tight as she embraced him.
Without hesitation or second thought—he couldn’t allow himself that—he ripped it from her. He pulled her energy toward him as if he reeled in a marlin. Her head jerked away from his neck. She screamed, pain and terror in the sound. She stared at him with huge dark eyes, stained with agony.
Her skin pulled taut against her bones. She tried to yank away from him, but he clutched her tight. He wouldn’t let go. He couldn’t.
Her muscles weakened beneath his grip. She whimpered as her knees buckled, and she slid down. He went with her, still pulling, feeling the energy break away from her like a popped rubber band. Her face grew leathery and the gaping hole in her neck had browned and shrunken.
Her muscles weakened beneath his grip. She whimpered as her knees buckled, and she slid down. He went with her, still pulling, feeling the energy break away from her like a popped rubber band. ~~ Read #Jivaja now! Click To Tweet
“Daddy.” The words came in a dry croak. “Please, don’t. Please…”
Grief and regret stabbed him. Tears coursed down his face, and he squeezed his eyes shut, no longer able to watch as he destroyed his own daughter.
She cried beneath him, her body frail in his grasp. He willed himself not to listen as her energy finally tore free and slammed into him.
He staggered and fought for control as it rocked his soul. He rode it, and when it finally finished with him, he’d fallen to his hands and knees beside the withered husk of his daughter-turned-monster. He forced himself to look at her once beautiful face.
As he did, he realized it wasn’t Mecca’s face at all.
It was Sara’s.

Latitude DL150 Satellite Data Unit Earns CAN-TSO-C159b Approval
Latitude has received Transport Canada CAN-TSO-C159b approval of the company's DL150 SDU. see more
Victoria, BC Canada - December 1, 2015 - Latitude Technologies, the premier global supplier of flight data management, flight following, and Satcom solutions for fleet operators, has received Transport Canada CAN-TSO-C159b approval of the company's DL150 SDU (Satellite Data Unit) built to Technical Standing Order C159b "Next Generation Satellite Systems (NGSS) equipment." The DL150 SDU utilizes the Iridium(R) satellite network to provide global pole-to-pole coverage and also meets the component fitment requirement of AC 20-140B "Guidelines for Design Approval of Aircraft Data Link Communications System Supporting Air Traffic Services (ATS)." The company has begun taking orders for immediate shipping of the DL150 SDU to channel partners across the world.
Commenting on the C159b approval, Latitude President, Mark Insley, noted, "Our DL150 FANS Datalink SDU is the first product to have gained Rev b. notable for its more complex MOPS (Minimum Operational Performance Standards) testing than was required with prior versions. It is wonderful to also acknowledge the close cooperation between the FAA and TCCA that occurred prior to the design approval being issued by Canada. Our DL150 is one of the first TSO applications to be part of the international treaty synchronization between civilian aviation regulatory agencies FAA (USA) and TCAA (Canada), including EASA (Europe), to harmonize and therefore recognize each country's TSOs."
The DL150 SDU is a solution for business and commercial jet operators looking for a lightweight, multi-function, cost affordable Iridium Data Link device to complete their FANS 1/A+ installation.

Will ‘Gravity’ movie explore human mind, space, UFOs?
by Steve Hammons
September 20, 2010 22:47 EDT
The movie project that has offered the lead role of stranded astronaut to Natalie Portman has the potential to delve into many interesting areas that are both familiar and on the leading edge of understanding about human consciousness and space.
Space psychology, human consciousness, modern “weird physics,” discoveries about space and time, as well as unconventional space phenomena such as UFOs and extraterrestrial beings are just a few of the fascinating and important areas that Alfonso Cuaron’s planned “Gravity” film could explore.
According to published media reports, the story is a drama about a female astronaut whose return to Earth and her daughter are in jeopardy after her spacecraft is hit by debris and other crew members are killed.
Portman has not yet accepted the role, but her recent intense and rigorous physical training for “Black Swan” and her roles in the “Star Wars” movies could both be elements, among others, that click for her and the “Gravity” movie.
The Warner Bros. project is budgeted at $80 million, according to reports. Robert Downey Jr. is onboard and the shooting is planned for the end of January 2011.
EVOLVING SPACE TRAVEL
The space aspects of the story, from what is known about it now, are particularly relevant in our current era of positioning America’s space efforts amid the emergence of private, commercial space projects that may take many more people into Earth orbit and beyond.
The plot of the spacecraft being hit by debris is practically ripped from the headlines.
In February 2009, an American and a Russian satellite collided at approximately 22,000 mph 491 miles above Earth and left a huge debris field in orbit, adding to thousands of pieces of space junk already around our planet. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working on ways to try to clean up this debris.
In March 2009, International Space Station (ISS) crew members had to hunker down in the ISS escape capsule as a precaution against space junk hitting the ISS. Such a collision could be catastrophic for a spacecraft or space station.
And this is why the main female character of “Gravity” finds herself isolated far from home and her daughter.
Back in the real world, one of the emerging commercial space industry’s innovative companies, Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace, says that the inflatable, flexible, multi-layered Vectran outer shell of their space modules are designed to better withstand space debris hits than conventional spacecraft. Their design using Vectran, which is twice as strong as Kevlar, has been tested and withstood tremendous impacts with little damage.
Bigelow Aerospace and other companies are currently on track to take astronauts, scientists and others into Earth orbit within a few short years. The Boeing CST-100 crew capsule is planned to provide transport to and from Bigelow modular space stations in orbit.
So, the planned “Gravity” movie is more realistic than we may think. The scenarios of astronauts facing space debris that cause severe damage to their spacecraft or space stations reflect real threats, and real astronauts could find themselves in the same predicament as the lead female character.
MYSTERIES OF OUTER AND INNER SPACE
While the nuts and bolts of space travel in the “Gravity” film and real life are interesting, what about the more exotic, mind-expanding and sometimes amazing space and science topics that are somewhat difficult to comprehend and accept?
Increasing public awareness about emerging discoveries in human consciousness, scientific anomalies related to space-time, theories of multiple dimensions, UFOs and preparedness for possible extraterrestrial visitation are also subjects that interest millions of people around the world.
The research and operational activities of the U.S. government’s Project STAR GATE into special kinds of human perception have clearly demonstrated that humans have an amazing sixth sense. It may show itself a little or a lot in various people. But, we now know that human consciousness can reach out in space and time with a kind of awareness that can be truly surprising.
As U.S. military and intelligence personnel were brought up to speed on this research, undoubtedly astronauts and others also found themselves in the loop about the newly-rediscovered abilities of deep human mind.
Other research in quantum physics similarly has found that space and time, as we understand them, do not work the way we have previously thought. People, places, circumstances and events can be connected in ways that are not obvious and that seem illogical. Coincidences and developments may not be random at all, but might have hidden meaning.
We can hardly talk about space and space travel without considering the increasing legitimate research and evidence that there is a reasonable likelihood that humans are being visited by some kind of beings from elsewhere.
Are they other beings from another planet, or from another dimension? Are they angels or some kind of life forms that we do not understand? Are all UFOs solid craft or are some of them part of an energy that is beyond our comprehension?
These questions are no longer just the stuff of science fiction. They are fact-based possibilities, probabilities or realities.
And several astronauts and cosmonauts have gone on the record with specifics about close encounters with what appeared to be non-human craft or some kind of UFO that could not easily be explained.
The “Gravity” movie seems to have the potential to examine many of these important subjects: the value of our home on planet Earth, our ventures into space, the love between a mother and daughter, a human being responding to a uniquely acute situation, and the many unknowns and mysteries about our world, the Universe and ourselves.

SUPER 700-3 – the little giant with the maximum range of applications
The SUPER 700-3 is a VÖGELE Mini Class paver that is supremely capable of handling a large number of applications. The range of pave widths extends from 0.5 to 3.2m. Whether surfacing narrow farm tracks or minor roads, paving close to walls and edges, between tram lines or in buildings, when it comes to confined spaces the Mini Class paver from VÖGELE really shows what it is capable of. That makes the SUPER 700-3 the ideal choice in towns and cities as well as for landscaping applications. As such, it is particularly interesting for local authority contractors. This Mini Class paver comes with a powerful 4-cylinder Deutz diesel engine delivering 54kW.
When it comes to technology, the SUPER 700-3 stands out through its ultramodern features. The material conveying concept is ingenious, as is the innovative ErgoBasic operating system. But that is not all. The Mini Class paver now also boasts traction drives in closed loops controlled electronically, ensuring smooth and constant tracking and precise cornering. And finally, the excellent price/performance ratio of this Mini Class paver is not the least of its attractions.
When the site is particularly narrow, short or low, that is when the SUPER 700-3 comes into its own. Its dimensions make it the ideal candidate for landscaping applications as well as for surfacing car parks, farm tracks, cycle paths or footpaths.
Compact, light and manœuvrable
When the job site is narrow, short or low, that is when the SUPER 700-3 comes into its own. Its dimensions make it the ideal candidate for landscaping applications as well as for surfacing car parks, farm tracks, cycle paths and footpaths. The well-conceived design of the machine permits it to pave up to within 5cm of boundaries, for instance. Meanwhile, thanks to its low overall height of less than 2m, it can operate in low spaces or under canopy roofs. The small clearance width of 1.4m means that even narrow entrances or gates are no obstacle. What is more, with its low outer track gauge of just 1.14m, the Mini Class paver has no problem paving in the milled strip of a small milling machine.
Several feeding options and optimum flow of mix
With a capacity of 5.8t, the material hopper with separately folding sides is designed so that the machine can always be supplied with mix in the best, most cost-effective way, whether from the front by a lorry or from the side using a feeder with offset functionality. To this end, the push-rollers can be adjusted to the left, for instance when paving along walls. When combined with an asymmetrical material hopper, the paver can be conveniently supplied with material by a lorry even in this situation.
The VÖGELE Mini Class paver is designed so that it can be optimally and cost-efficiently supplied with material at all times. Not only from the front by a lorry, but also from the side by a material feeder with offset functionality.
The SUPER 700-3 also comes with a powerful material handling system. To achieve an optimum head of mix in front of the screed, a controlled feed with mix and constant monitoring are of utmost importance. The large material hopper holds an ample supply of mix, while the wide conveyor tunnel permits a high throughput. Homogeneous spreading of material is ensured by the large auger blades with a diameter of 300mm. In addition, the height of the augers is infinitely variable, even hydraulically as an option. Centrally supported augers without outer bearings also minimize the risk of material segregation and ensure uniform spreading of material in front of the screed.
The new ErgoBasic operating concept
The ErgoBasic operating concept was developed on the basis of the proven ErgoPlus system, which is installed in VÖGELE's large pavers, and tailored specifically to the needs of Mini Class applications. The aim was to develop an operating system for the small pavers that was just as quick, precise and intuitive to operate as the system for the large machines. That makes VÖGELE the only manufacturer to offer a standardized operating system for all paver classes.
Paver operator’s ErgoBasic console – full control for the machine operator
The functions are arranged in a clear, logical and practical layout that has been inspired by the paver operator’s ErgoPlus console. The types of controls and the symbols used are all in line with those of an ErgoPlus console but have been tailored to the functions of a small paver. There is no need for a display because the status of all settings is indicated as a percentage on LED strips immediately next to the relevant function. LEDs also indicate the set speed selected for the augers and the compacting systems as well as the filling level of the fuel tank.
ErgoBasic remote control unit for the screed – the ultimate in user friendliness
The safe and easy handling of all screed functions is a key factor in high-quality pavement construction. That is why the ErgoBasic remote control unit for the screed was developed specifically for the new SUPER 700-3. Its keypad is laid out logically according to the functional processes. Designed for robustness, it is well able to withstand tough job site conditions. Operation of ErgoBasic is easy to understand and can be learned intuitively in a very short space of time, not least because the symbols used in the proven ErgoPlus operating system were adopted in the design.
The ErgoBasic remote control unit for the screed allows all paving-related functions to be set quickly and easily. That includes direct access to the material handling systems and the sonic sensor for the auger. There is a remote control unit for each side of the screed. The operator has a large range of actions thanks to the magnetic bracket and spiral cable connection. This means that he can always operate the screed from the best possible position, a factor of immense importance particulary when working in confined spaces.
Niveltronic Basic, the System for Automated Grade and Slope Control for the Mini Class
To fit the ErgoBasic operating concept, VÖGELE have also developed a suitable System for Automated Grade and Slope Control, the Niveltronic Basic. Fully integrated into the machine's control system, its main benefit is that it is particularly easy to use. There is a separate remote control unit for each side of the screed. A variety of sensor types is available for Niveltronic Basic. It extends from mechanical sensors to sonic sensors and even includes a laser receiver for work on larger job sites. The System for Automated Grade and Slope Control can simultaneously be connected to two grade sensors and a slope sensor. The type of sensor used is detected automatically.
Precision on tracks
Thanks to powerful separate drives fitted into the sprockets of the crawler tracks, engine output is translated into pave speed with no loss of power. In addition, the crawler tracks fitted with rubber pads deliver maximum traction thanks to the large ground contact area of 1500 x 180mm. This ensures a constant forward speed even when operating on difficult terrain. What is more, the electronic control of the separate drives in the two crawler tracks permits constant tracking and precise cornering.
The new VÖGELE AB 220 Extending Screed in the V version is specially designed for use with the SUPER 700-3. Equipped with vibrators, it achieves outstanding precompaction results. The range of pave widths extends from 0.5 to 3.2m.
VÖGELE extending screed for perfect pavement quality
The new AB 220 Extending Screed in V version is specially designed for use with the SUPER 700-3. The screed is designed to play to the strengths of this Mini Class paver. Not only does it deliver the greatest possible variability, it also ensures compliance with VÖGELE's own quality standards.
The cutting-edge machine concept and powerful engine of the SUPER 700-3 permit pave widths ranging from 0.5m to 3.2m. With a basic width of 1.2m, the AB 220 V can be extended hydraulically to a width of 2.2m. Equipped with vibrators, it achieves outstanding precompaction results.
The screed can be easily built up by means of bolt-on extensions. That broadens the range of applications of the SUPER 700-3 with the AB 220 V from the rehabilitation and renewal of minor roads to the backfilling of narrow trenches. Backfilling is performed easily and to a high level of quality thanks to the system for pave width reduction. Once installed, it means the pave width can be reduced infinitely down to 0.5m without the need for any modifications. Since the screed floats on the mix even with the system for pave width reduction installed, it achieves optimal precompaction.

What's on Netflix > Netflix News > Netflix’s New Anime ‘Hi-Score Girl’ Season 1 Arriving Christmas Eve
Netflix’s New Anime ‘Hi-Score Girl’ Season 1 Arriving Christmas Eve
by Jacob Robinson @BambiWanDu on December 11, 2018, 7:27 pm EST
Hi Score coming to Netflix
It has been a fantastic year for anime on Netflix, especially compared with previous years on the streaming service. Netflix has had a huge amount of anime debut this year. The year will draw to a close with the release of Hi-Score Girl, the final Netflix Original anime of 2018.
The series is planned to drop on Christmas Eve (December 24th) on Netflix worldwide with several restrictions.
Hi-Score Girl is a Netflix Original anime based on manga series of the same name by author Rensuku Oshikiri. The manga ran for 8 years, from 2010 to 2018, and a total 10 volumes were released throughout its run.
Picking up the production of the series is J.C. Staff. who have recently produced Netflix Original Back Street Girls. Other popular titles the studio has worked on are The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Prison School and Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
What is the plot of Hi-Score Girl?
Yaguchi Haruo doesn’t have much going for him in life. He’s not attractive, he’s not athletic, and he’s not very academic. But he does have one unique trait in his favor: mad gaming skills. Known in his arcade as “Beastly Fingers Haruo” he triumphs over all challengers until one fateful day when he encounters Oono Akira. She defeats him playing Street Fighter II, leading Yaguchi to seeks her out to challenge her again. He hopes to outplay his video game rival and dominate once again.
Who is in the cast?
It’s become a recurring theme that an English dub isn’t confirmed until the release of the series. Here is the list of the Japanese cast:
Role Actor/Actress Where have I seen them before?
Akira Oono Sayumi Suzushiro The Kotobuki Squadron in The Wilderness, We Never Learn, The Girl in Twilight
Haruo Yaguchi Kouhei Amasaki Black Clover, My Hero Academia, Charlotte
Koharu Hidaka Yuuki Hirose UQ Holder, Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club, Action Heroine Cheer Fruits
Namie Yaguchi Satomi Arai Code Geass, Crystal Blaze, Fairy Tail
Why is the animation different?
The animation has been made to suit the art style that the illustrator used in the original manga. The animation appears to be cel shaded and use of CG is evident but for once this style of animation looks fitting to the anime.
Copyright Netflix and J.C. Staff
How many episodes are there?
Season one of Hi-Score Girl will debut on Netflix with 12 episodes.
Is there a Trailer?
Netflix has lacked in promoting their own Original series on occasion, especially when it comes to anime. While we don’t have an official trailer from Netflix we were able to find an English subbed version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S51PKANf92c
Can we expect to see a second season?
There is no official confirmation we will be getting a second season. It entirely depends on if the anime covers all of the source material in the first season.
Depending on the reception the anime receives within the first couple of months, we may see some news in the coming months.
Will you be watching Hi-Score Girl? Let us know in the comments below!

Study: Radio signals may prove Amelia Earhart crashed on Pacific island
Danielle Haynes
Researchers said Tuesday analysis of radio signals sent after Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937 indicated she landed on Gardner Island. UPI Photo/File
July 24 (UPI) -- A study of distress signals logged in the days after famed American pilot Amelia Earhart went missing support the theory she crash landed on a remote island in the Central Pacific, an aviation search organization said Tuesday.
Richard Gillespie, executive director of the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, released a report Tuesday saying Earhart's plane made 57 credible distress calls in the week after she disappeared in 1937, and he believes he can tie them to her and navigator Fred Noonan.
The report, which was not peer-reviewed, comes on the 121st anniversary of Earhart's birth in 1897.
Gillespie said he ruled out dozens of other possible Earhart radio signals from July 3-7, 1937, because they were hoaxes, were picked up by listeners in locations that couldn't possibly have detected the signals or included advanced Morse code that neither Earhart nor Noonan knew how to transmit. In some cases, civilian listeners reported hearing SOS messages with phrases that closely matched that day's episode of The March of Time, a radio news and dramatization program.
RELATED UPI Archives: Mattel releases Amelia Earhart, Bindi Irwin Barbies
The signals deemed credible mostly took place at nighttime, when there would be low tide on Gardner Island -- now known as Nikumaroro. Searchers and archaeologists have theorized this coral atoll is where Earhart landed, about 400 miles south-southeast of her intended destination, Howland Island.
In some of the messages, like one purportedly heard by Canadian Thelma Lovelace on July 7, 1937, Earhart could be heard saying her Lockheed Electra plane had partly landed in water. Had this been the case, she would only have been able to transmit signals at night during low tide -- the plane's engine could not have been turned on during high tide when it would have flooded.
"Can you read me? Can you read me? This is Amelia Earhart. This is Amelia Earhart. Please come in," Lovelace said she heard that morning when she was trying to tune in a Japanese music program on her shortwave radio.

She said Earhart give her latitude and longitude, which she wrote in a book.
ARCHIVE Earhart tells UPI of battling fire, fog across Atlantic
"We have taken in water, my navigator is badly hurt; We are in need of medical care and must have help; we can't hold on much longer," the message continued.
Gillespie said the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy later wrote off the messages as hoaxes after being unable to locate Earhart and Noonan -- even after a search of Gardner Island and other islands in the area.
RELATED Tartar from ancient teeth to reveal how Iron Age Britons ate
To support his theory, Gillespie pointed to human bones found on the island in 1940. Initial analysis of the bones, which included a radius and humerus, indicated they belonged to a man. But earlier this year, Dr. Richard Jantz, a professor and researcher at the University of Tennessee, published a study saying the measurements match Earhart.
In 1940, potential settlers on the island also discovered a woman's shoe, a sextant box that appeared to match one Noonan carried, and a Benedictine bottle, something Earhart was known to carry. None of the items have been definitively linked to the pair, though, and no part of the aircraft has ever been found.
Before her disappearance, Earhart earned fame for being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and non-stop across the United States. She disappeared while attempting to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe.

Ex-Catalan president takes refuge in Belgium under threat of charges

Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Ousted Catalan President Carles Puigdemont fled to Belgium Monday after Spain's top prosecutor said charges were coming against he and other pro-independence leaders who were removed from the semi-autonomous region.
Spanish Attorney General José Manuel Maza said Puigdemont and other top officials should be prosecuted for rebellion for leading efforts to secede from Spain -- and for misuse of funds.
Although Maza didn't call for the former leaders' immediate arrest, he did ask them to appear in court in Madrid in the coming days.
Puigdemont, however traveled to Brussels Monday -- a day after Belgian Secretary of State Theo Francken offered him refuge.
RELATED Thousands attend Barcelona rally for unity in Spain
Although the offer was later denied by Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, Puigdemont left Spain with five of his former ministers.
Maza's request will be brought to a judge for consideration and a possible trial could lead to a long jail sentence if the former leaders are convicted.
The prosecutor's remarks came just three days after Catalonia lawmakers declared independence from Spain by a 70-10 vote, prompting the government in Madrid to invoke Article 155 and take over direct rule of the region, which includes Barcelona.
RELATED Pope Francis urges political dialogue by Christians in Europe
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy fired Puigdemont and his cabinet hours later after the Spanish Senate voted to give him powers under Article 155.
The article, known as the "nuclear option," gives Madrid power to remove all members of Catalonia's government and hold snap elections to replace parliament members.
Madrid has stood by its claim that the Oct. 1 referendum vote -- in which 90 percent of Catalan residents favored independence from Spain -- was illegal.

Spanish court refuses to release nominated Catalan leader from jail

March 9 (UPI) -- Spain's Supreme Court is refusing to let Jordi Sanchez, the man nominated to lead Catalonia's regional government, from jail to attend a confidence debate.
Judge Pablo Llarena said there was a risk of Sanchez reoffending if he were to be freed and allowed to speak in Catalan Parliament on Monday.
The judge said Sanchez "revalidated his commitment to offend, by becoming part of an electoral list that proclaims precisely that it wants to continue exercising the type of activity that is being tried," and had shown an "obstinate determination" that led him not to stop "faced with the risk a violent social outbreak might occur."
Sanchez, 53, asked to be released to attend Monday's investiture ceremony after he was nominated to lead the Catalan government. He was jailed on sedition charges following last year's Catalonia's referendum independence vote -- which was deemed illegal by Madrid officials.
RELATED Catalan leaders urge ex-president Puigdemont to end return bid
Government spokesman Iñigo Méndez de Vigo said he "respected" the judge's orders to keep Sanchez in jail.
"We believe a person in jail on remand is not in a situation to act as First Minister of Catalonia and they have to search for and find a person who can, always within the law," de Vigo said.
Sanchez was tapped to succeed ousted leader Carles Puigdemont last week. Puigdemont has backed Sanchez, who is currently the only candidate in the running.
RELATED Catalonia: Spanish government to ask court to block Puigdemont's candidacy
Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium after the referendum vote to avoid detention, has not returned to Spain since prosecutors filed charges against him and other pro-independence leaders.
Twenty-eight pro-independence Catalan politicians are under investigation by the Supreme Court for their role in the referendum vote. Along with Sanchez, former Vice President Oriol Junqueras, former interior minister Joaquim Forn and separatist leader Jordi Cuixart remain in jail.
The Spanish government dissolved the Catalan parliament after the referendum and called for snap elections.

Armed drones attack oil pumping stations in Saudi Arabia

May 14 (UPI) -- For the second day in a row Tuesday, attackers targeted equipment of Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure -- this time oil pumping stations for a major oil pipeline.
Armed drones attacked the stations for an east-west pipeline that carries oil from the Eastern Province to the port of Yanbu on the Saudi west coast. The attack sparked a fire at one of the stations, Riyadh's state-run news agency reported.
"As a precautionary measure, the company temporarily shut down the pipeline, and contained the fire which caused minor damage to pumping station 8," Saudi Aramco officials said, adding that the strikes did not impact oil and gas supplies.
The Saudi government condemned the drone attack, which came one day after it said two oil tankers were attacked off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Saudi officials said the tankers were sabotaged. Al Jazeera reported Tuesday that U.S. military officials are investigating that attack.
RELATED Saboteurs attack Saudi oil vessels amid Middle East tensions
Some authorities have implicated Iran in the attacks, which occurred at a time of heightened tensions between Tehran and the United States over new U.S. sanctions.
"Recent attacks in the Gulf and Saudi Arabia are aimed at the world and not just [Saudi Arabia]," Saudi energy minister Khalid Al-Falih said. "This attack proves, yet again, the importance that all sides stand against such destructive terror attacks."
Iranian officials said last week OPEC is "likely to collapse" because other countries are working against Tehran's interests.

Trump dismisses border wall negotiations as ‘waste of time’
January 31, 2019 Michelle News Leave a comment
President Trump called the talks of a border wall “a waste of time” in a new interview, while further putting blame for gridlocks in Washington on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“I’ve actually always gotten along with her, but now I don’t think I will any more,” Trump told The New York Times in the interview to be published Friday. “I think she’s doing a tremendous disservice to the country. If she doesn’t approve the wall, the rest of it’s just a waste of money and time and energy because it’s desperately needed.”
“I think Nancy Pelosi is hurting our country very badly by doing what’s she doing and, ultimately, I think I’ve set the table very nicely,” the president added in the interview in the Oval Office, amid signs that he could be losing leverage in Congress as lawmakers race to avert another shutdown in the government.
BORDER PATROL WIVES INVITE PELOSI TO VISIT TEXAS BORDER TOWN
While asked by The Times about his plans to declare a national emergency to build the wall, Trump told the liberal paper: “I’ve set the table. I’ve set the stage for doing what I’m going to do.”
Lawmakers have cautioned that if Trump declares an emergency, future Democratic presidents might do the same for issues they favor that Congress derails. Some are reluctant to cede Congress’ constitutional power to control spending to any president, and many say there is no real border emergency.
PELOSI’S DAUGTHER SAYS HER MOM WILL ‘CUT YOUR HEAD OFF AND YOU WON’T EVEN KNOW YOU’RE BLEEDING’
Democrats offered further details of their border security plan Thursday, unveiling a measure that would provide no wall funds. It would significantly boost spending for scanners at ports of entry, humanitarian aid for apprehended migrants, and new aircraft and ships to police the U.S.-Mexico border. It also would freeze the number of border patrol agents and block any wall construction in wildlife refuges along the border.
During the interview, Trump said the presidency is a “loser” financially.
“I lost massive amounts of money doing this job,” he told The Times. “This is not the money. This one of the great losers of all time. You know, fortunately, I don’t need money. This is one of the great losers of all time. But they’ll say that somebody from some country stayed at a hotel. And I’ll say, ‘Yeah.’ But I lose, I mean, the numbers are incredible.”

He indicated to the Times he’s looking forward to run for reelection next year.
“I love this job,” he said.

Analyzing Robert Griffin III's Redskins debut
Rookie quarterback excels in Buffalo, but tougher tests await
Pierre Garcon
Robert Griffin Iii
By Rich Campbell - The Washington Times - Friday, August 10, 2012
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Some thoughts and observations about QB Robert Griffin III’s preseason debut, in which he completed 4 of 6 passes for 70 yards, threw for a touchdown and posted a passer rating of 145.8:
Griffin is running a scaled-down offense during the preseason, so there were three main criteria on which to judge him against Buffalo: decision-making, accuracy and timing. Considering his uneven play during training camp, his debut went as well in those three areas as anyone could have hoped. Reviews from coaches and players were positive inside the locker room after the game.
Two plays, in particular, delighted Redskins coaches: Griffin’s 20- and 18-yard completions to WR Pierre Garcon on the third series.
On the 20-yarder, Griffin progressed through two potential targets, TE Fred Davis and WR Leonard Hankerson, on the right side of the field before coming back to Garcon, who cut in from the left side.
Linebackers bracketed Davis to the sideline, and then Hankerson was not open against three deep defensive backs in a Cover-3 look. The Redskins’ offensive line deserves credit for protecting Griffin long enough to make that read.
“In the NFL, from what I’ve heard, you don’t get very many opportunities to get to your last read, so that felt good,” Griffin said. “Coach was happy. He told me good job after that play.”
Griffin on that play showed command of his reads, and he placed his throw in position for Garcon to gain 9 yards after the catch.
On the 18-yarder, Griffin dropped seven steps from under center and faked a handoff. Coaches have worked extensively with Griffin on such drops because he operated mostly out of the shotgun at Baylor. The footwork required is a bit unfamiliar to him, and he also has to turn his back to the defense on the play-fake.
Garcon, on that route, had the option to continue deep or cut it off, depending on the coverage. The Bills took away the deep ball by keeping both safeties high, so Garcon cut off the route. Griffin was on the same page as his receiver and anticipated the shorter route against the deep coverage he saw, too. He then stepped into the throw and for a nice chunk of yardage.
Griffin was accurate and on time hitting Garcon out of his break, and they demonstrated some positive chemistry, too.
While Griffin excelled at the basics against Buffalo, it’s important to keep this performance in context. Several reasons for his uneven play in training camp involve elements of the offense that were left out of the preseason game plan.
For example, Griffin has been inaccurate at times when he has to reset after faking a draw or some type of option read. Well, the Redskins didn’t run any of those option fakes on Thursday. Early in camp, he was inaccurate throwing while rolling to his left. He never made that throw against Buffalo. He might have had one opportunity (the first play of the third series), but the linebacker contained the keeper, and Griffin had to dump the ball quickly to TE Niles Paul.
Think of it this way: Griffin got an A in Quarterbacking 101 on Thursday. He’ll graduate to a more difficult level during the regular season.
“A lot of safe throws,” Garcon said.
Added Griffin: “It is the preseason, so I’m not going to be running around as much as people would like or would want to see from myself.”
Griffin and RB Evan Royster vowed to correct the fumbled handoff. They’re glad happened now instead of when the games count.
“I should have had it and I take full blame for it,” Royster said. “I tried to pull it up and it just rolled off my hand.”
When I saw Griffin chasing after the fumble return, my first vision was of him getting injured, similar to what happened to Clinton Portis in the 2006 preseason. But Griffin is a competitor, and he showed he has his teammates’ back.
Coach Mike Shanahan bristled, and rightfully so, when a media member suggested he tell Griffin not to pursue that play.
“He’s a football player,” Shanahan said. “He is going to make a tackle on that guy. That’s what he should do.”
And how about Griffin taking on a blocker, shedding him and then nearly jarring the ball loose in bounds? The guy is a bit of an athlete, no?
Griffin and Garcon extensively analyzed their performance on the sideline after they were taken out of the game. That falls in line with what we know about Griffin as a committed student.
“He was just trying to tell me to make sure I stayed focused, make sure I look at all the reads, learn how to read the defenses and those type of things,” Griffin said. “Then just me and him talking, just making sure we were on the same page versus what coverages we did get while we were in the game. A lot of the times as a football player if you only get 10 or 12 plays you want to make sure they’re perfectly right. We were just going over those plays again.”

British activist readies legal bid over no-deal Brexit
Posted: Jul 14, 2019 / 06:37 AM CDT / Updated: Jul 14, 2019 / 09:27 AM CDT
FILE – In this Wednesday, April 26, 2017 file photo, Entrepreneur Gina Miller answers a journalist’s question at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. An anti-Brexit campaigner who won a major legal case against the British government says she will go to court again if the next prime minister tries to force the country out of the European Union without a deal.

LONDON (AP) — An anti-Brexit activist who won a major legal case against the British government said Sunday she will go to court again if the next prime minister tries to force the U.K. out of the European Union without a deal.
Businesswoman Gina Miller said she instructed her lawyers to serve notice to Conservative Party lawmaker Boris Johnson in anticipation of him becoming the next prime minister.
Johnson is the favorite to succeed Theresa May as prime minister later this month. He says it is imperative Britain leaves the EU on the rescheduled date of Oct. 31. He has refused to rule out suspending Parliament if lawmakers tried to block Brexit.
Opponents say that would be undemocratic.
Miller said “it would be an abuse of his powers to close Parliament … to limit the voice of the representatives that we all elect.”
In 2017, Miller won a ruling in the Supreme Court that stopped the government from triggering the countdown to Brexit without a vote in Parliament.
Britain’s departure from the EU was postponed twice because Parliament refused to back the divorce deal the government struck with the bloc. British lawmakers have also ruled out leaving without an agreement.
Most economists say leaving the EU without an agreement on divorce terms would disrupt trade between Britain and the bloc and plunge the country into recession.
But Johnson and his rival for the Conservative Party leader who will become prime minister, Jeremy Hunt, both argue that failing to go through with Brexit, deal or no deal, would betray voters’ 2016 decision to leave the EU — and devastate the governing Conservatives.
Conservative lawmaker Priti Patel, who supports Johnson, said “frankly the British public are sick to death of this.”
“They want to see a government now, with renewed conviction, get out there and do exactly what it said it will do, which is now to deliver Brexit,” she told Sky News.
Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, Britain's former and current foreign secretaries, spoke and answered questions Wednesday in front of hundreds of Tories at a London conference center.

Bagan is a landscape of monumental Buddhist architecture, covering almost 3,600 stupas, temples, monasteries and associated structures.
The site represents the core of the largest Buddhist empire of its time (11-13th centuries). It is still in active religious use and is especially related to the practice of merit-making.

Bagan was a powerful kingdom from the 11th to the late 13th century: the empire stretched over almost all of what now is Myanmar. The remains of its ancient capital city comprise over 2,000 temples, monasteries and pagodas. They were constructed in a religious construction frenzy by Bagan’s rulers and wealthy subjects. Bagan at this time also became a center for religious study, attracting devotees from afar. Although it lost its prominence in the 14th century, the site was never abandoned and has stayed a pilgrimage destination throughout.
Nowadays Bagan is Myanmar’s tourist central, and it delivers proof that even the gentle Burmese can turn into annoying souvenir sellers & touts given a steady influx of wealthy tourists. I stayed in Bagan for 4 nights, using it also as a base for a side-trip to the wooden monasteries of Pakhangyi and Pakhannge. It was the end of the rainy season, and I experienced mostly partly cloudy weather during the day and a daily heavy downpour around 3.30 p.m.. I ‘did’ two longer trips of exploration among the monuments, once by mountainbike and the other time cruising around on an e-scooter (a rightly popular mode of transportation at the site).
There’s no clear ‘Angkor Wat’ among Bagan’s religious monuments, no flagship temple or monastery that serves as the site’s iconic image. I would say that the two best contenders are the Ananda and Sulamani Temples. The Ananda was built in a fusion of Mon and Indian styles, and today is the most lively among the temples with worshipping Burmese. There’s an interesting tier of green terracotta glazed tiles around its outer wall. The Sulamani (aptly meaning 'Crowning Jewel') looks more refined, also more ‘complete’ than many of the other temples. It is tempting to make comparisons to Angkor as the two sites are so similar in many aspects, but either because of the worse state of conservation or the hasty (re)construction work I found Bagan less impressive in its artistic features.
It is worth visiting Bagan's Archaeological Museum early during your stay. The museum is housed in a grand building with lots of empty space, but many of the exhibits are of good quality. Signs in English tell that they do apologize for the electricity problems, and are working on a better museum! Here you can see a model of how Bagan looked like during its heyday: now only the temples and pagodas remain, but in between there was a city of 50,000 – 200,000 inhabitants living in wooden houses. They also display the 55 hair styles for women (and 5 for men) that can be seen at the various wall paintings in Bagan, all variations on long black hair in a ponytail.
A lot of the joy of Bagan comes from exploring its smaller or more outlying temples and pagodas. The good ones include the Ananda Ok Kyaung (a chapel with detailed murals, including depictions of Portuguese traders), the Upali Thein (well-preserved murals, can only be seen peeking through the closed door), the Tayok-pyi pagoda (has a façade with fine carvings) and the big red Dhamma-ya-za-ka Zedi in the morning light.
2017 is now the estimated admission year of this major historical site to the WH list. It fell victim before to possibly the worst case of polarization in the history of World Heritage, a whole thesis can be written about the stand-off between the Myanmar military rulers and UNESCO & other representatives of the international community. It ended up with a Referral in 1997, stating the need for buffer zones and management plans but not mentioning the shoddy reconstruction techniques, the construction of the Nann Myint Viewing Tower in 2005 or the displacement of the population of Old Bagan that were among the critical issues earlier on.

It's nearly impossible to visit Bagan and not find at least one temple or vista awe-inspiring. I traveled with a Burmese family doing an annual pilgrimage to Bagan, and it was interesting to see how their trip differed from some of the more classic ways that tourists tour it: via bicycle and in just a day. We started before dawn, when it was still dark and headed to Mount Popa, where we trucked it up the mountain and began what would be two days of temple hopping. After each visit, we would pile back into the bed of the pickup truck and head with our incense, flowers, and gold leaf to the next spot.
And of course, we watched sunset at a temple—that's a must do. The stupas change color throughout the day, and some vary by composition. So you have rose-pink temples in the early morning light, dull brick by the harsh light of mid-day, and a brilliant ochre when lit by the setting sun. Make sure that you are out early on the day(s) you visit so you can see the full range.
One of the things I loved about going via the truck is some of the more rural areas that we passed. Locals from the region sell jaggery candies and sour plum treats a bit outside the tourist center, and they're tasty! Make sure that you keep an eye out for these small round purple balls — they are hand-rolled sour plum paste dipped in sugar!
Lastly, probably consider a guide of the more important temples, or even a half-day tour. It's impossible to truly appreciate the deep history and the significance of the different temples without backstory and explanation of what these places mean to the locals. Bagan is still a living place of worship for the Burmese, and it's a fascinating window into the way Burmese people practice Buddhism. Highly recommended. It can only the politics of Burma that has kept it on the tentative list, because it's a must visit and a real highlight of Southeast Asia on the whole.

I visited Bagan just recently in April 2014. While I can observe that adding gold leaf is one of the rituals given to Buddha, and constant renovation by the government of Myanmar instead of preservation, I still wish that Bagan will go into World Heritage List. Perhaps, this is the reason why the temples, pagoda, stupas survived time because the Myanmarese take care of them by doing renovation. One can still get awed by the frescoes and stuccos as well as Buddha images found in the temples. While, tourists can climb up the stupas right now to get an aerial view and a good view of the sunset or sunrise, I believe this should be regulated as it will eventually ruin the structure. If this archaelogical zone be included in the WHS list, I believe UNESCO will help a lot in its preservation.

It most definitely is the first WHS Myanmar will have on the heritage list in the near future hands down. Thousands of temples, monasteries, stupas, pagodas, ordination halls, libraries, murals, Buddha images. The rural life in the plains adds to the overall experience. My favourite temple is Sulamani for its architectural beauty and murals. Had quite a few reservations against the constant temple reconstructions but a UNESCO WHS listing will surely help in managing the magnificent site,
4.5 UK - 29-Nov-12 -
The Bagan Archaeological zone stretches across 42 sq kms of the Irrawaddy plain and contains literally thousands of temples, pagodas, monasteries and other structures from the 11th to 13th centuries built in the golden age of the first great united kingdom of Burma. King Anawrahta (1044-1077), having overcome the rival Mon kingdom of Bago, embarked upon a massive construction program in support of Buddhism (primarily of the Theravada variety but also accepting influences from Mahayana, Hinduism and local animist “Nat” religions) which continued under his successors until 1297 when, as a result of Mongol invasions and other contributory factors, the kingdom disintegrated. A few of the largest remaining structures continued as pilgrimage destinations to this day whilst the others (the vast majority) gradually fell into disrepair.
The joy of visiting such a site is to be found both in taking in the grand buildings but also in exploring the numerous smaller structures scattered among the agricultural landscape. It is a site one could easily give 3 or 4 days and still be benefiting from new experiences, but in Nov 2012 we had only 1 full day plus half an afternoon! However, this was not my first visit as I had spent a full day there way back in 1977 and the comparison across those years identified a series of interesting issues.
My first visit had been by horse and cart and it was nice to see that these were still operating but, on this second visit, we made full use of a car across 9 hours in order to fit in as many of the major sites as possible. Bike hire is also widely available but would need at least a couple of days.
To WHS enthusiasts the site is also of interest as Myanmar’s only attempt to date at gaining an Inscription – it was deferred in 1997 with its Universal Value fully accepted but its management found greatly wanting. The story of this aspect of the site touches upon a number of significant issues both regarding Myanmar’s recent undemocratic history and also on the problems of preserving such a site in a developing country which needs tourism, lacks skills and, in any case, doesn’t fully accept UNESCO’s view of the World! Because of this I tried at every opportunity to find out details from the locals about UNESCO’s troubled relationship with Bagan and Myanmar over the last 20 years!
My memories of the site in 1977 include 2 aspects which have totally changed over those 35 years.
First the increase in numbers of tourists. 2012 arrivals are expected to be almost 60% up on 2011 which itself was a record year of 120000. The trend is ever upwards at a similar rate, limited only by hotel rooms at Bagan and the ability of Myanmar as a whole to receive yet more – most people visiting the country will go there. There are currently 2000 hotel rooms in Bagan and activity is taking place to double this in the near future. In 1977 there was one upmarket hotel of perhaps 40 rooms and a few “hippy” guest houses – so I saw almost no other tourists during the day! And all tourists were limited to a 1 week visa and counted themselves lucky if they managed to make it up to Bagan for a single full day!
The second major change is that the site is no longer an archaeological “ruin”. In 1975 a major earthquake had inflicted significant damage both to the minor temples and pagodas but also the major structures. And that was merely the latest of a series of such events over the centuries which, combined with the ravages of time, had given the entire site a ruined aspect. Now there is hardly a ruined structure remaining. Unfortunately however this is isn’t due to the hard work of dedicated trained archaeologists working to the highest international standards of renovation. Instead it is a reflection on the cultural obsession of Myanmar’s people with building “merit” towards the achievement of Nirvana by sponsoring the renovation of any Buddhist monument which has fallen into disuse. Such renovation pays scant attention to authenticity in the use of materials and in design – so Stupas acquire shapes, colours and accretions which have no foundation in Bagan’s architectural history. There is hardly a structure which doesn’t have standing next to it a stone on which is engraved the details of the individuals or organizations which have organized/funded the changes! From its religious and cultural viewpoint Myanmar regards it as far more important to restore a Buddhist monument back to religious use with a Buddha statue than to worry about the niceties of brick manufacture and stucco work – and who is to say it is wrong!
The other great change over the last 35 years relate to the overall environment of the site. The forced movement of people from Old Bagan to the town of “New Bagan” in 1990 before adequate services etc were provided and without adequate compensation has been cited (perhaps not totally fairly) as an infamous example of the old regime’s callousness in dealing with its people. The construction of hotels by regime “cronies” has been another. In 2012 we stayed at the most infamous hotel of them all the luxurious “Aurium Palace” owned by Tay Za, the target of US and EU sanctions for his activities as part of the regime. (see photo across its infinity pool - we didn’t take a $300 balloon ride!!) The Bagan golf course resort had been a major cause of Bagan’s UNESCO deferral in 1997 and the Aureum Palace has also incurred UNESCO’s displeasure. A particular unfortunate feature is its Nan Myint Viewing Tower. Opened in 2005, it is 60 m high in brown concrete and glass in circular form with an external staircase (as well of course as internal lifts) to mimic the traditional Burmese watch tower (which isn’t relevant to Bagan!). As well as providing fine views over the Bagan plain, it can equally be seen from nearly everywhere across the site!
So what did we see? I have listed our full day route below to give a feeling for what can be fitted in. We lunched briefly after Ananda
i. Schwezigon. Single massive golden topped structure
ii. Gubyaukgyi at Wetkyi-in. Fine frescos with huge gaps where some were removed and taken to Germany in the late 19C by a Dr Fritz von Nottling (I can find nothing about what happened to them).
iii. Htilominlo. Fine external stucco
iv. Uppali. Fine frescoes
v. Ananda. Perhaps the finest of the large temples – externally and internally. We visited on 2 days.
vi. Abeyadana Pahto. Fine frescoes
vii. Nan Phaya. Has recently installed interior steel support framework which, we were told, UNESCO isn’t happy about
viii. Manuha. Built by the captured Mon king
ix. Gubyaukgyi at Myinkaba. Was the first UNESCO restoration project in the 80s before they left. Fine interior frescoes protected by glass and fences. Nearby there is a carving in 4 languages (Pyu, Mon, Old Burmese and Pail) which has acted as a “Rosetta stone” to aid decipherment
x. Sulamani. Fine murals/stucco
We also stopped off at smaller pagodas/stupas and for photos etc of course – all in all, a pretty full day. One major change in my appreciation of the site compared with my first visit in 1977 (No Lonely Planet guide in those days!) was the internal decoration of many temples. Without torch or explanation this aspect had passed me by as I concentrated on the exteriors. It was good to have this missed aspect rectified. I would suggest that having a good guide was worthwhile – otherwise (even with LP or similar) what you are seeing is a bit like watching a movie in a foreign language!
So will it ever get inscribed? Yes of course, but a lot of negotiation will have to take place and UNESCO will have to accept some things it doesn’t like. But each year which passes withuot inscription will result in more changes taking place over which UNESCO has no leverage. Interestingly however, we heard of no activity to move forward on inscription (and I have found none on the Web). The Archaeologist at the Yangon National Museum mentioned the recent conclusion of an agreement with UNESCO/Italy to assist competence building etc but this related to another of Myanamr’s T Lists at Sri Ksetra ( http://www.mmtimes.com/2012/news/615/news61521.html ). Finally, if anyone is interested further in the recent history of Bagan’s “preservation” have a look at http://acl.arts.usyd.edu.au/~hudson/Hudson-2008-RestorationOfMonumentsAtBagan.pdf

So many areas of Myanmar (Burma) should be World Heritage Sites, but Bagan is definitely unlike any other location in the world. We visited in May, right after the cyclone, and not only were we the only Americans we saw, but the only tourists. So of course, this made this wide plain of hundreds of temples even more awesome. And access to them is too easy...we climbed to the top of some to see sunsets & sunrises. No one guards the area & the treasures in many of these temples are priceless. The Irawaddy River flows nearby & the pottery markets & people were a pleasure.
We have been lucky to visit many sites in the world from Angor Wat to Tikal to the Pyramids. And Bagan is as impressive in its own right. We hope the Myanmar generals & government will see the benefit of allowing Unesco to grant WH status to Bagan.

Pride Month isn't just rainbow flags but pansexual flags, transgender flags and more: Here's what they mean
Laurel Deppen
USA TODAY• June 9, 2019
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — June is Pride month, which means you may be seeing a lot of those iconic rainbow flags, depending on where you live. You might also see other flags flying next to them, meant to include the diversity of the LGBTQ community — here's what they all mean.
The iconic six-striped rainbow flag was created by artist and veteran Gilbert Baker in 1978 at the request of activist Harvey Milk, according to Baker's website.
Baker's original flag included eight colored stripes, each with a different meaning: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for serenity and purple for spirit.
Tracie Meyer, a board member of the Political Action Committee of the Fairness Campaign, said the flag represents intersectionality, or the overlapping of groups within the LGBTQ community, and highlights the differences between such groups.

More: 'Wrong, plain and simple': 50 years later, NYPD apologizes for Stonewall riots
"I think the flag allowed individuals historically to come together and identify as a group and to bring that power together and to protest together," Meyer said.
Following Milk's assassination in 1978, the demand for pride flags went up, and the Paramount Flag Company removed hot pink from the fabric because it was too expensive and a year later removed the turquoise stripe, according to Baker's website.
He never placed a copyright on the flag because he wanted it to "owned by everyone," Baker's friend Charles Beal told The Huffington Post in 2018.
Stonewall Forever: 50 years later, digital monument debuts. LGBTQ activists say it couldn't be more timely.
In the years following the pride flag's creation, others have been created to represent identities that fall under the LGBTQ umbrella.
Flying flags that celebrate each of the LGBTQ communities is an act of visibility, said Chris Hartman, director of the Kentucky Fairness Campaign in Louisville.
"We know that visibility is key to acceptance and legal rights and to changing hearts and minds," Hartman said.
Some of the flags that represent visibility for transgender and bisexual people are becoming almost as widely known as the original pride flag, Hartman said.
"(I) certainly embrace everyone being able to celebrate with pride and dignity a show of their identity, which is what I think the flags are all about," Hartman said.
Pride Month: What does LGBTQIA mean? And more answers to your Pride questions
Here are 10 other Pride flags and their meanings:
Rainbow flag with black and brown stripes
In this Monday, June 19, 2017, Philadelphia's altered gay pride flag is seen outside City Hall.
In 2017, for the city of Philadelphia's pride kick off, two additional stripes were added to the traditional design, black and brown, intended as an inclusive message for LGBTQ people of color.
Bisexual flag
About 20 years after the creation of the pride flag, Michael Page designed the bisexual flag, which was meant to bring visibility to the bisexual community, according to pride.com.
The flag contains two wider stripes, pink and blue, to represent the male and female genders. A smaller purple stripe is between them representing sexual attraction to both men and women.
Transgender flag
Designed in 1998 by Monica Helms, the transgender flag includes blue, pink and white stripes. Blue and pink represent the traditional male and female gender colors, and white is for those who are transitioning or don't feel they fit into either gender category.
Pansexual flag
The pansexual flag was created in 2010 as a way for pansexual people to distinguish themselves from bisexual people, according to pride.com. Similar to the bisexual flag, the pink and blue stripes represent attraction to men and women, but the pansexual flag's yellow stripe represents attraction to non-binary and gender-nonconforming people.
Asexual flag
The asexual flag was also created in 2010. It was meant to promote visibility for asexuals, demisexuals and graysexuals, according to pride.com.
Asexuality refers to people who don't experience sexual attraction, whereas demisexuality refers to people who only experience sexual attraction to people with whom they have an emotional bond, according to the Demisexuality Resource Center, an online resource for people who identify as demisexual and their allies. Graysexuality refers to individuals who experience occasional or mild sexual attraction, according to a 2016 article from the Telegraph.
Intersex flag
The intersex flag was designed in 2013 and purposefully designed with colors that don't represent any gender, according to pride.com. It was created by Intersex International Australia, now called Intersex Human Rights Australia.
Genderfluid flag
The genderfluid flag is meant to encompass all gender identities. In addition to the traditional pink and blue, purple stands for masculinity and femininity, white for lack of gender and black for all genders.
Genderqueer flag
The genderqueer flag was created in 2011. Its lavender stripe represents androgyny, agender identities are represented with white and non-binary with green, according to pride.com.
Non-binary flag
Some people refer to the genderqueer flag as the non-binary flag if they feel the word "queer" is a slur, according to pride.com. But a separate flag, the non-binary flag, was created by a 17-year-old in 2014 for people who felt misrepresented by the genderqueer flag.
The flag wasn't meant as a replacement but rather to offer another option, pride.com stated. The yellow stripe represents gender outside of the binary. The white represents many genders. Purple is for those who feel fluidity between genders. The black represents the agender community.
The progress flag
The progress flag features the same six rainbow stripes but includes five additional colors. Like Philadelphia's flag, the progress flag includes the colors black and brown to represent LGBTQ people of color, but it also includes light blue, pink and white for the transgender flag.
The progress flag was created by Daniel Quasar in an attempt to reboot the pride flag "with an emphasis on inclusion and progression," according to his Kickstarter.

In indictments unsealed in Brooklyn and Chicago, federal prosecutors said Kelly, 52, ran a racketeering and human trafficking scheme that required the women and girls to be obedient and ask permission to eat or use the bathroom.
"The purposes of the enterprise were to promote R Kelly's music and the R Kelly brand and to recruit women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with Kelly," prosecutors said in the Brooklyn indictment.
Kelly, who was free on bond in the Illinois state case, was taken into custody again on Thursday evening by New York City police detectives and federal agents on as he walked his dog in Chicago his lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said.
The R&B singer made a brief court appearance in US District Court in Chicago on Friday and was ordered back on Monday for further proceedings.
Brooklyn prosecutors urged in a court filing that Kelly be held without bond on the federal charges while they seek to have him sent to New York for a hearing that has yet to be scheduled.
Greenberg said in a statement posted to Twitter that the federal charges mostly stem from conduct that is "decades old" and already part of the state case or previous allegations that Kelly had been acquitted of.
"He and his lawyers look forward to his day in court, to the truth coming out and to his vindication from what has been an unprecedented assault by others for their own personal gain," he added.

Kidnapping and Pornography charges:
The five-count Brooklyn racketeering indictment includes multiple allegations going back to 1999, including sexual exploitation of a child, kidnapping and forced labour.
Under the alleged scheme, Kelly and his entourage would invite women and girls backstage after concerts, isolate them from friends and family, and make them dependent on him for their financial well-being.
Chicago prosecutors charged in their 13-count indictment that Kelly had sexual contact with five minors, recorded videos of some of them and paid them off to buy their silence.
Prosecutors said Kelly paid an unidentified individual $170,000 to cancel a news conference in which that person planned to announce he had tapes of Kelly engaging in sexual activity with minors.
The Chicago indictment also charges two of Kelly's former employees, Derrel McDavid, 58, and Milton "June" Brown, 53 with obstructing the investigation.

Police ID 3-year-old boy who drowned in Goodyear Lake; death ruled accidental
The three-year-old boy who drowned in Goodyear Lake over the weekend has been identified as Andrew Durkin of Gilboa, and his death has been ruled accidental.
Updated: Jul 23, 2018 5:31 PM
The three-year-old boy who drowned in Goodyear Lake over the weekend has been identified as Andrew Durkin of Gilboa, according to New York State Police.
Just before 3 p.m. Sunday, New York State Police were called to Goodyear Lake in Milford for a report of a missing child. State police’s Underwater Recovery Team found the boy in the lake, submerged in about seven feet of water, about 17 feet from a residential dock.
A member of state police performed CPR on the child, and he was then taken to A.O. Fox Hospital in Oneonta, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say the child's death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and no foul play is suspected. The child and his family were at the summer residence with other family, and police say Andrew has an identical twin broher who was dressed exactly the same way at the time Andrew went missing.
The Otsego County Sheriff’s Office, the Milford Fire Department and Milford EMS also responded to the scene and assisted with the search, along with civilians.
Police say the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Welcome to the Program Evaluation Division Website
The Program Evaluation Division (PED) is a central, non-partisan unit of the Legislative Services Commission of the North Carolina General Assembly that assists the General Assembly in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee government functions. The mission of the Program Evaluation Division is to evaluate whether public services are delivered in an effective and efficient manner and in accordance with the law. The Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee oversees formal evaluation of state agency programs by the Program Evaluation Division.
JLPEOC MEETING
The Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee last met on June 10, 2019. Items on the agenda included a presentation of PED's report on disadvantaged school districts that demonstrate average or better performance, and a presentation to accompany PED's memo in reponse to a JLPEOC request for further research into Hurricane Matthew disaster recovery funds administered by the Department of Public Safety.
JLPEOC is next scheduled to meet on September 9, 2019.
LEGISLATION UPDATE
The 2019–20 legislative session of the North Carolina General Assembly is currently underway. Our Legislative Tracking resource will be updated several times per week with status information on bills derived from PED report recommendations.
The status of each of our current evaluations is updated on a weekly basis.
The Program Evaluation Division has issued its sixth edition of How North Carolina Compares, a biennial compendium of state statistics that ranks North Carolina on areas including population, health, taxes, expenditures, and education.
RFQ for MEASURABILITY ASSESSORS
The Program Evaluation Division now provides two means of examining state programs—evaluations and measurability assessments. Whereas evaluations are in-depth studies conducted of existing state programs to determine whether they are effective and efficient and in accordance with the law, measurability assessments determine whether new and existing state programs collect the performance information necessary to inform any future inquiries into their effectiveness and efficiency.
The General Assembly enacted the Measurability Assessment Act, NC G.S. 143E, in 2016. The law requires the Program Evaluation Division to contract with independent assessors to assess whether new or existing programs or pilot projects are “measurable,” i.e. lower risk and capable of reporting return on investment. Assessors will assess programs or pilots designated directly by the General Assembly or by the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee through the statutory PED work plan. The law states that agencies and programs assessed will reimburse PED for the cost of the assessment.
On July 1, 2019, the Legislative Services Office of the North Carolina General Assembly honored Principal Program Evaluator Carol Shaw upon her retirement from state government after 35+ years of service. On behalf of the Governor, Sen. Dan Blue presented Carol with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, awarded to persons for exemplary service to the State of North Carolina.
On June 10, 2019, the News and Observer reported on the presentation of PED's report, North Carolina Should Focus on Early Childhood Learning in Order to Raise Achievement in Predominantly Disadvantaged School Districts and also covered the release and discussion of PED's follow-up memo on disaster recovery funds administered by the Department of Public Safety.
On May 20, 2019, CBS 17, the News and Observer, WWAY, and AP News covered the release and presentation to JLPEOC of PED's report, Administrative Missteps and Lack of Expertise Led to Delays and $3.7 Million in Unnecessary State Spending for Hurricane Matthew Recovery.
WRAL-TV, CBS 17, Carolina Journal, and the News and Observer reported on the release of PED's report, Changing How North Carolina Controls Liquor Sales Has Operational, Regulatory, and Financial Ramifications.

Xref Announces First Public API-Driven Integration with Springboard
Xref Limited (ASX:XF1), the human resources technology company, is pleased to announce its first integration built using its recently released public API platform, with recruitment solution provider, Springboard.
In February, the Company launched its public API offering, which allows third-party organisations to more efficiently integrate their software with Xref. The public API allows partner organisations to directly manage the connection of their service to the Xref platform, reducing the time and cost of integration.
Springboard is developed by PeopleScout, a global leader in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions. Springboard offers Xref additional access to users across the world, further expanding the reach of the Xref platform. Through the integration, Springboard users will be able to request a reference check directly from the Springboard platform. They will also be able to tailor reference checks with targeted messaging to candidates and referees, while reducing the requirement for manual process completion and improving compliance,
PeopleScout is the world’s largest RPO provider, managing talent solutions globally. It enhances talent intelligence for clients across more than 70 countries with headquarters in Chicago and Sydney and global delivery centers in Charlotte, Toronto, Montreal, Krakow, Gurgaon and Bangalore.
Stephen Abbott, Head of Client Delivery, PeopleScout said: “Springboard powers many of PeopleScout’s APAC RPO solutions. The introduction of the Xref integration will create greater efficiencies for clients in allowing them to order and track reference requests directly from the Springboard system. The results generated using Xref will now be visible and accessible on a candidate’s job application record within the system. It reduces the need to double-handle candidates’ details and share reference check feedback between the two systems, which also saves our clients a huge amount of time and money."
Xref’s software as a service (SaaS) platform collects 60% more data, five times faster than traditional methods and, by automating a vital task, protects companies from fraud, discrimination and privacy breaches.
Application programming interfaces, or APIs, help to connect software services, allowing the exchange of information through the internet. APIs enable companies to create new products and channels at lower cost, helping to improve operational efficiency.

“We’re delighted to bring the first integration developed using our public API to market. The Springboard team were able to work almost autonomously on the integration build, with our development team on hand to simply provide guidance and support if required. We’re really pleased and impressed with what they have been able to deliver and look forward to hearing how it benefits existing and new customers.”
Executive Director / CEO Lee-Martin Seymour
“This is a great example of Xref finding smart, simple ways to onboard clients without barriers to entry. The ability to easily integrate technology platforms should be an essential component in today's SaaS landscape. The Xref API provides global clients an easy way consume to Xref checks.”
Executive Director / CTO Tim Griffiths

Skip-loaders for municipal operations are used to collect, transport and dispose of material with a high specific weight, such as ground excavation debris and construction waste. Typically, the Actros with two or three axles is used to transport containers with volumes of up to 20 m3. The advantages of skip-loaders include: quick changing of containers, compact dimensions and good manoeuvrability.

Bodies and mounted components can be installed without drilling.
The Actros chassis with top-class features and high availability of wheelbases and frame overhangs forms a solid basis for successful body mounting. Chassis reinforcements provide the necessary stability and safety during operation. It also has the standardised tapering frame section. Thanks to the 50-mm hole matrix, bodies and mounted components such as extra fuel tanks can be installed without drilling extra holes. In addition, all chassis components are coated with cataphoretic dip primer, the best possible corrosion protection.
Harness the power of the Actros – with PTOs.
To power necessary equipment, such as skip-loader hydraulics, the Actros offers a wide range of engines, transmissions and power take-offs (PTOs). The excellent fuel efficiency and low engine and drivetrain wear are further advantages in skip-loader applications, where stationary use of a power take-off can significantly impact fuel consumption.

Episodes Edit
"Welcome to the Newpocalypse" Edit
After Warren crashes and stumbles across the countryside and is also no longer blonde somehow, she is rescued after collapsing at a farm, nursed to health, and then begins to start keeping up the farm and the house with the man who saved her, the ruggedly handsome, Cooper.
Meanwhile, Murphy and Doc and the rest of the gang are picking up survivors on their way to Newmerica. But Murphy senses that Warren is out there somewhere, and he is determined to find her. So he sets his own path and tracks her. Murphy’s unique technique being eating zombie brains for their memories of Warren’s path.
Doc and the rest of the group continue on their mission. But danged if some of their new companions aren’t acting a little Z-like. “Mrs. McGillicuddy ” is eating zombie brains on the side of the road. Seems like she’s got more than a little headcold. When they finally get to Newmerica, they learn what’s up. A woman named George introduce them to the harsh new reality. Turns out that after the reset and the black rain, there are some people who turn into Zs that are not just “walkers” but also “talkers .” Three of their companions on this journey are actually talkers. It's explained that there is something called Z-Bizkuits that they can eat, to keep them from eating brains. The biscuits calm them down. So they all merrily trek off to a bigger Newmerican outpost. Anyone thing that can talk, alive or dead, is welcome.
Warren and her new friend Cooper are getting very cozy. Playing happy home, cooking together, working together, playing dominos, dancing, shooting Zs. It’s practically dreamy. When Warren finds out Cooper’s got a secret, she helps him dispose of it. With fire. Murphy spots smoke from the burning pyre and he’s on his way.
"A New Life" Edit
Warren and Cooper are keeping a cozy fire going in their new farmhouse life. It feels like a dream, which is why we know it can’t last long. And it doesn’t. Murphy shows up, and instead of inviting him in, Cooper decides to clobber him and locks him in the trunk of his car. When Warren finds out, she is not coaxed by Cooper’s fears of her leaving him, and instead clocks him, saves Murphy and puts Cooper in the trunk. Not sure what his fate will be, as there are zombies heading his way as Murphy and Warren leave for Newmerica.
It’s reunion week for the gang, when Doc, 10K and Sgt. Lilly soon welcome Murphy and Warren to Altura. They are about to have a vote on whether or not to form Newmerica and create a new democracy of survivors, including zombie “talkers” along with the humans. Citizen Z is there. And Red, has a confusing, then lovely, reunion with 10K.
George, whom knew Warren back during Black Summer is fighting hard for a new society. She is encouraging everyone to vote and is clearly excited about the future. The “CEO” of the town, Roman Estes, hands her the results of the vote to read on the podium. Will the potential democracy vote “yes?” The room of Alturans is giddy with excitement, and as George begins to walk to the podium, there's an explosion. There were some suspicious zombies walking around, especially that mysterious, half-face lady, Pandora. And we still don’t know the results of the vote.
"Escape from Altura" Edit
Ears ringing, dust swirling, the voting delegates for the Newmerica vote have been victims of a bombing. There are now some dead and some new zombies, and then some outsider zombies swarm in. This was a sabotage! There’s a hole in the fence and the Altura community quickly goes into lockdown.
CEO Estes declares a quarantine for talkers, and they are not giving them biscuits. Which means there are a bunch of getting hungry and angry Zs penned in together.
Murphy is not about a lockdown, so he makes a run for it, having jumped onto the back of a van driven by George’s talker friend Dante. And Dante is now suspect number one in the bombing. Warren, Citizen Z, Doc and George decide to break out of the lockdown and head to Pacifica, looking for Dante and answers.
Murphy has a stalker, who turns out to be a friend who offers him a ride somewhere new when he falls off of Dante’s van. And 10K, Sarge, Red and Sun Mei are all fighting it out against the Z hordes when 10K get bit, Red cuts his hand off at the bite and Sarge makes the ultimate sacrifice, dying to save her friends.
"Pacifica" Edit
Reeling from the loss of Sgt. Lilly, 10K and Red participate in a ceremony for those lost in Altura . They are memorializing people with a DNA wall and on their trek to Pacifica , while hunting for Lt. Dante; thee team of Warren, Doc, Citizen Z and George meet up with some familiar faces.
Pacifica, described as a paradise, turns out to be a bit more combative than anticipated. The community is in conflict due to the bombing, and people are worried about the talkers revolting and talking about a quarantine. Rinse and repeat. Warren and George make a powerful case for unity, and everyone agrees to sleep on it.
The next day dawns in Pacifica with a talker escape and a zombie attack. Back in Altura, 10K worries he won’t recover with a missing trigger finger or hand, despite the support of Red . And Roman Estes, the benevolent CEO, continues to act super creepy. He is interested in Sun Mei’s research.
"Killing All The Books" Edit
A new spate of terrorist bombings has hit now in Pacifica. The search for survivors leads to many dead and some brand new talkers. And just like the Altura attack, this bombing is followed up by a wave of Zombie attacks. Doc does some triage and finds out how these bombings might be triggered.
Alturan mercenaries take human survivors back with them. No talkers allowed. Citizen Z, Kaya, JZ and Nana decide to go back to Altura and see what they can learn. Talkers in Pacifica stay back and try to salvage books from the heavily damaged library. Doc, Warren and George strike out on their own, looking for Dante and for answers.
10K is unhappy with his hook hand. Wandering around Altura he sees some suspicious goings-on. His nosing around leads him to hide in a truck, soon to be packed with some hungry Zs.
"Limbo" Edit
Doc, Warren and George trek the trail of Talker tracks, looking for Dante and whatever else they find. The path leads to Limbo. This place is a debauched hell-hole filled with booze, gambling, talkers, blendeds, humans, fighting and more. Murphy is in charge of this seedy established.
Murphy gives his pals a tour of the casino floor, and the sub-basement. The talker underground is providing refuge to those on the lam. A mystery driver deposits a new bunch daily. Addy is at the wheel.
After a lot of booze and a little coaxing, Addy agrees to lead Warren and George to Dante. They bring him into Limbo to find Marjorie, his Talker wife. But of course they are followed by a group of Alturan mercenaries who want to take Dante back to his “trial.” Meanwhile, 10K continues his lone wanderings and finally meets up with the crew.
"Doc's Stoned History" Edit
Doc and George head back to Altura to keep an eye on Dante’s trial. They want to make sure he gets fair treatment from these mercenaries. And Murphy, Warren, Addy and 10K decide to find that mysterious bizkit source and why they aren’t coming anymore.
Doc and George quickly run into some trouble on the road. Their trip gets wacky and involves some unconventional pain treatment and lengthy discussions about America’s Founding Fathers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. All on the road to save Dante and build Newmerica. George and Doc find a crashed car and signs of Dante. Following his dropped sunglasses and a bloody trail, she finds Dante's carved up, twisted body in a bin and George mercies him.
Meanwhile, there’s a gunfight at the bizkit factory. Turns out a Mombie-Zombie has been cooking up the goods with her Z-bro sons. But due to sabatoge it hasn’t been going so well. No problem, Operation Bitemark is ready to help.
"Heartland" Edit
Addy, Warren and 10K are still tracking the source of the brainy biscuits that keep the Talkers talking. How are these treats stopping them from going full Z, and why are they not being made any more? They reach Heartland. The plan is to talk to the locals and find out what's in those bizkits. But the Talkers aren't in the mood for a chat. They are hungry, and they are swarming. George and Doc pull up and rescue them and they all head to a farmhouse on the outskirts of town for refuge. A local resident, non Z or Talker, Charlie, shares where the grey matter has been coming from, his head.
Warren comforts George, who is reeling with guilt over the hideous death of Dante. Warren vows to help George find the culprits and bring them to justice. Addy finds a guy, Finn in the closet and threatens him. Turns out, they know each other and they are together. Finn has a bullet wound. Finn is mended and he has answers. He is the lone surviving farmer who was shot when he was trying to help get some Talkers to Limbo. Charlie volunteered tiny pieces of his brain to buy them time.
Mysterious Talker Pandora is monitoring the gang in farmer togs, and looks to be in charge of the disruptions. They use Charlie as a lure to get the Talkers to come to the farmhouse. Charlie entices them with some Sriracha. On his exposed, open brains protruding from his head. They subdue the Talkers, keeping them alive, much to Pandora's dismay. She is then mistaken for a ravenous Talker by 10K and Doc, who lead her into the corral with the rest, where Pandora shares a bizkit on the sly with a minion and Charlie finally makes the ultimate sacrifice.
Warren, Addy, Doc, George and 10K were on their way to get the water going again to the farmland, when Finn sends out a distress signal. Back with the corralled Talkers, he was jumped and they ran off. The crew, minus Doc and 10K, dashes back, but Finn has lost a lot of blood from that gunshot wound and is fading fast. Finn dies and turns Talker. Addy decides to stay with him, take the Talkers to Limbo, and meet up with the gang later.
Doc and 10K wait for the rest of the group to rejoin on their way to the Water Keepers. 10K is not feeling well and that mangled hand looks pretty bad. Doc is wondering where the rest of the crew is and nervous about the Water Keepers. An arrow cutting through the trees hits Doc.
"Water Keepers" Edit
Doc and 10K are captured by the mysterious water keepers. Warren and George cut them loose, but then they are all captured. Kuruk, who shared a memorable medicinal experience with Doc at not the Grand Canyon, is one of the group.
Kuruk explains to the group that they are not stopping the water flow. Instead, the dam is being sabotaged. Just like the bombings in Altura and Pacifica. Kuruk's father is in charge of the dam and working to repair it.
Ayalla helps 10K pick out a new prosthetic tool for his missing hand. 10K spots an outsider on the edges of the group's camp and chases him into the building that houses the dam. Kuruk tells her father that she wants them all to leave the area. Her father wants to stay, fight the saboteurs, and fix the dam.
Doc, Warren and Kuruk decide to take a drug-induced journey for a spiritual experience and travel into the dam on an alternate plane. They want to get into the dam, learn what's happening, and stop the attack.
10K was knocked out by the saboteur, and a ghostly Doc can't reach him to help him wake up. His touch goes right through him. Warren's vision showed her how to get into the dam unseen. She and George dashed back to bust in there and stop the outsider. George finds and fights the outsider Talker sabotuer.
It was hard-fought, but they protected the dam. Kuruk and her group decide to stay. And Doc clearly wishes he was staying, too.
