I had watched him scuttle past these rocks so many times this week. I do not think he knew I was watching. Perhaps he thought I was like all the other tourists; too busy watching the sunset and the wind-surfers, to notice him rifling through bags and swiping picnic food. He was about 8 years old, I was guessing. A wiry, sun-bronzed boy with a matted mess of blonde curls. He did not seem to belong to anyone and always disappeared around the rocks, rocks so slippery I hesitated to follow but he was the only mystery worth solving on this beach and Thomas had forgotten me, so followed.
There was a beautiful little cove on the other side. No one was there, but that wasn’t surprising. My clumsy clamber over the rocks had earned me a wealth of cuts and bruises. Most people wouldn’t bother going to all the trouble, but i had always loved climbing mountains and trees and I could never resist a challenge set by a child. I stood, silent and still, listening for him. At first, all I could hear was the wind, the waves and the cry of a seagull cutting through raw places in my heart. A strange tapping sound echoed out from the cliff face. I followed the sound and found a small opening, large enough for me to wriggle through, if I really wanted to. Instead, I leaned up against the rocks and imitated the cry of the gull, letting my heart sound its song. The tapping stopped. For a while we were both silent, listening to the sound of the wind playing with the waves.
My own hideaway was a long way away. I wondered if this tousle-haired little thief would share his hideaway with me. I could see him now, from the corner of my eye. He was peering up at me, squinting in the sunlight, with a scowl on his face. Grown ups aren’t meant to mess with a kid’s turf, but I wasn’t a real grown up. He would just have to get used to me being there because this cove was the closest I had come to finding a haven in at least three weeks. I loved the way the sand was patterned with lines from the ocean, untouched by footprints. The roar of waves crashing on rocks muted the sound of cars and people passing by overhead.
He waited for me to go away. When that didn’t work he got cross and threw little pebbles at my shins. I made a game out of catching them and tossed some back in. When he yelped I laughed, amused by his indignant surprise.
“What do you want?”, he demanded, his voice hot and sulky, with a lovely echoing reverb created by the cave he was in.
“I want to make a sand castle”, I told him.
He was silent for a moment, while he digested this.
“So. Go make one. Somewhere else.”
I didn’t answer him. A crab scuttled over the sand. He had electric blue snippers and a funny jaggedy way of moving, just like the little boy in the cave mouth, glaring at me with his piecring blue eyes as he half-heartedly flicked sand at me.
With a shrug, I sat down on the sand and started building, right outside his cave door. He retreated for a while and I was left in peace, with the sound of the waves guiding the movements of my hands as I scooped and pushed and piled the sand. Time slipped through my fingers like sand, the gentle sunlight warm on my skin as I worked. Finally I sat back, admiring my work with a smile. It was rather magnificent, even if I did say so myself. The boy was watching from the cave-mouth. He had crept forwards so much that he was almost outside it now.
I ignored him and wandered off in search of shells, feathers, sticks and rocks to decorate my castle. Occasionally I looked back, a little concerned he might smash it down before I could finish it. Instead, he seemed to be studying it intently from all angles, a puzzled expression on his face. I came back with my treasure and started placing it very carefully around the edges, pushing shells and sticks into the sand to create patterns.
“I’ve seen this before”, said the boy, a far-away sound in his voice.
“What, a sand castle?”, I asked
“No, this castle. In a dream I had once. It’s the same castle”
He went back into his cave and came out a little later with something in the palm of his hand. Weathered pieces of glass caught the light as he offered them solemnly to me. I looked at the glass, then at him.
“You place them”, I said.
He was a little hesitant at first, but soon found his feet, darting here and there as he settled each piece of glass into its new home. They looked just like stained glass windows. After a while, he started to talk again, dreamily, with a slight catch in his voice.
“I was looking for my sister. In the castle.”
I nodded, waiting for him to go on.
“I couldn’t find her. She kept disappearing around the corner, going down and down the stairs, into the dark.”
He shuddered. I could hear what he wasn’t telling me. I could heat the sound of a man’s laughter, and it chilled me to the bone.
“Did someone take her?”
“No. I mean, yes.” He looked confused and gathered himself to explain. I reached into my backpack and found us a couple of bananas. He seemed delighted with the gift and rewarded me with a small smile.
“In the dream she was by herself. But in real life someone took her.”
We sat in silence, eating, listening to the waves.
“Did she come back?”, I asked, after a while.
He shook his head, choking a little on his food. A wave lapped at the foot of the castle. I looked at the rocks in alarm and realised i was trapped. I had left it too long to get back around to the main beach. The boy watched my face as I took all this in and started to laugh. The laughter swelled as I joined him and suddenly we were having a sand fight, with sand-castle sand, shrieking and hollering as we scrambled and ducked.
When the castle was gone, we sobered for a while, both of us wondering where I was going to sleep.
“You don’t snore do you?”, he asked me. “My dad snores.”
“No, I don’t think so.”
The waves had almost reached the opening of the cave by this stage and he gestured for me to follow him in. I pushed the back-pack in ahead of me and crouched down, squeezing my way through the narrow opening.
“You can sleep up there”, he said, pointing to a high ledge or rock.
“Sometimes the water comes in a bit.”
Then he showed me a series of tunnels. One of them lead to an opening in the rock further down the beach. This was the toilet. Another lead further back into the cliff-face, coming to a dead end.

I’ve seen mummies made out of juice boxes, and this is my version of a juice box creature. These fuzzy friends make such a fun addition to lunch boxes during Halloween, or any time! I made these cutie pies for Charlotte’s monster birthday party one year, and my kids request them all the time. They’re so simple it’s silly…but here’s a quick tutorial for all your juice box monster-making needs.
All you need is a pack of crinkle paper, a giant wiggle eye, a hot glue gun and some juice boxes (extra points if the color of the juice box is similar to that of the crinkle paper…then bald spots aren’t as obvious.
Step 1: While the glue gun warms up, remove the straw and set aside.
Step 2: Working in 1 inch sections, spread hot glue on the front of the juice box, and press in a clump of crinkle paper. Work until the front surface of the juice box is covered. (NOTE: leave the bottom and a space around the straw opening uncovered). Move onto the sides and back. Work until all sides are covered. Except for the bottom…unless you want a wobbly juice box. And nobody wants a wobbly juice box.
Step 3: Monster grooming. Gently comb through those luscious locks with your fingers, pulling out loose ‘hairs’ so they don’t shed all over your party. Then trim any unruly/overgrown sections until you’ve achieved the desired look. My kids love to help when it’s monster hair cutting time. Grab the kid scissors and get snipping!
Step 4: Glue on the eyeball.
Done. Now make a whole brood of them and drink up!

Tucked away in the quiet, tree-covered hills of Beffa Road in Stafford Springs – just after the asphalt gives way to dirt – rows of lush bushes are laden with indigo-colored berries. The peace and tranquility of the country serves as a warm greeting to those looking for this season’s haul of healthy fruit, but for the family behind Winterbrook Farm, this is home. Kirby Judd is the patriarch of the farm, an endeavor he took on over four decades ago.
Kirby – originally from Queens – moved to Somers with his wife, Laura Jo, after deciding they didn’t want to raise a family in the city. He worked in Longmeadow as an English teacher for thirty years. The family’s interest in farming began when they were gifted a pony and her mother by friends - soon their 2 acre property was filled with a variety of animals and birds. Kirby and Jo took to the hills of Stafford, looking for a rustic getaway to assist in their agricultural efforts.
“We looked at farms for about four years,” recalls Kirby. “The first thing I would do [at a new property] is get out of the car and listen. If I could hear a highway or noise, I would say no and keep looking.”
The two found their 62.5-acre farm by accident, having to reroute from an adjacent back road during a winter’s storm. While the land wasn’t available right away, they were eventually able to purchase the parcel and with it came bountiful blueberry bushes. They started keeping sheep when one of their children needed a Vo-Ag project- long after their children left home Kirby and Jo were maintaining a flock of 80. They grew a business that involved the sale of spring lambs, producing wool yarn for The CT Blanket, and Jo taught many to knit, spin and weave. Homeschoolers came to the farm for their lessons.
“The story is – and I don’t know how accurate this is – that the previous owners went down to New Jersey and worked all night digging up a blueberry patch, bringing them up here to plant them…I assume in the dark because they didn’t leave much room between the rows. That’s the story of how they got here.”
Having been planted for over fifty years, the bushes are rugged and hardy. Each representative of a lasting family tradition, one shared with his four children and now, grandchildren. Extremely involved in the operation is his granddaughter, Miranda. Entering eleventh grade this fall, she oversees technical aspects of the business, like social media, research and ordering supplies, everything from reflective tape to bird repellent balloons. This year’s provisions were focused on battling the gypsy moth infestation. To combat, Miranda employed an organic spray with naturally occurring bacteria that is commonly found in soil. When eaten by caterpillars, the bacteria produce proteins that paralyze the caterpillar’s digestive system, which causes them to stop feeding and die. They also spent many long hours – as a family – handpicking the devastating pests from their beloved bushes.
“Instead of being sent to daycare or pre-K, I would come up here and hang out with my Nonny- I picked up a lot from her,” says Miranda. “A lot of the stories I’ve heard a million times, I’ve just been storing all of those facts.”
This month Miranda – and the rest of her family – utilizes those hands-on experiences to produce abundant crops of firm, flavorful, aromatic blueberries. Together they maintain approximately 200 bushes in conjunction with a maple syrup and hay business, which they’ve always counted on to support the expenses of the farm. The bushes require some off-season maintenance, such as pruning in the winter, mowing and putting up flash tape to scare away birds. Raising and selling berries is a lot of work, Kirby says, but he certainly enjoyed welcoming people for U-pick over the years.
Though it’s easy enough to pick up a pint of berries in clear plastic vented containers at the store, there’s a certain enlightenment walking through the patch. The property is quiet and private; picking at the rural spot is nothing short of a therapeutic experience. Besides, nothing tastes sweeter or juicier than berries personally picked. Winterbook Farm has five different varieties of blueberries, all planted together in the patch. The season extends through the end of August, but exact picking dates vary from year to year.
While U-pick berries have been a lasting tradition for Kirby over the years, preserving this land he loves is his number one priority these days.
“I like the quiet and beauty of this land and have put 46 acres in the Forest Legacy Program – now I want to protect the rest – my wife and I decided that was the most important thing; we didn’t want the land developed,” says Kirby. “That’s the major goal in my life right now; I love the land here.”
With a beautiful 18th-century farmhouse, barn, and tidy rows of easy picking berries, it’s easy to fall in love with the landscape here. To experience the bounty this season, call ahead for conditions and hours at (860) 684-2124 or visit Winterbook Farm on Facebook.


This MRP will interrogate and discuss the possibility of applying machine learning technology into storyboarding processes from an animation and film industry perspective. In current animation or film production studios, most of a storyboarder's creative process is a repeating process of manually editing and visualizing content from a script. It is a storyboarders’ responsibility to analyze camera cuts and scenes information, then organize the scenes, the director's notes, and camera movements in storyboard drawing software to create a working template. The storyboarder is always responsible for hundreds of such repeating steps in storyboarding processes. Those repeating processes are all inefficient and could be limiting. This paper will analyze and review many machine learning technology methods in the current animation and film industry. The literature review part will identify many machine learning methods’ positions in the animation production pipeline and their advantages and disadvantages in related professional fields. Finally, based on all the wide-ranging literature reviews and unique perspectives towards applying machine learning into storyboarding and storytelling. This research paper will address a theoretical concept of how to apply visual recognition, text mining and automation technology into storyboarding software to analyze the scripts for storyboarders.

Arrondi sur salaire [Salary Rounding scheme]: offering employees the possibility to get involved
“Salary rounding” offers employees the possibility to donate every month the “euro cents” of their salary to an association.
In line with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Arkema has decided to set up a “salary rounding” scheme for its employees effective February 2018, in France initially. Under the scheme, every employee who has elected to do so, will be able to donate the “euro cents” of their salary to an association.
As a token of joint solidarity, Arkema will match those “euro cent” donations also for the benefit of the associations (e.g. if an employee donates 10 cents, Arkema will donate an additional 10).
To date, six associations have been selected that will benefit from Arkema’s salary rounding scheme. These associations operate in a number of areas in which Arkema is already involved, such as water management, education, equal opportunities, and disability.
Since 2004, this association has been installing water stations in the world’s poorest regions in order to provide drinking water to local people.
Nos Quartiers ont du Talent
Since 2006, Nos Quartiers ont du Talent has been supporting young graduates from modest backgrounds in their search for employment. They are assisted by a professional sponsor in this endeavor.

The Ence bio-factory in Navia (Asturias) reached 2018 production results that set historical highs for the company. A total of more than 530,400 tons of pulp was produced last year from Ence’s naval facilities, which represents a new production record in the history of the biofactory.
The data have been released after the preparation of the annual balance of the production of the navajo biofábrica for 2018. The results are very positive: the production of cellulose, which in 2017 was about 523,000 tons, increased by 1.4 %.
In addition, Ence-Navia has registered a very important improvement in terms of sustainability, by reducing the odorous impact by 60%, and by 67% in relation to the emission of particles, with respect to the 2017 data.
The Navia biofactory is consolidated in this way as the highest production within the Ence group, as well as being the largest and most efficient cellulose factory in the eucalyptus market installed in Europe.
At the moment, the staff of Ence in Navia is of four hundred workers, of whom 70% are original of the region of the Asturian West. In addition, the activity of Ence in Asturias generates some three thousand stable jobs directly, half in the forestry sector.
The main objective of Ence for the Navia biofactory for this 2019 that has just begun will be the implementation of the “Navia +80” project, which is currently under execution. This is an expansion that seeks to increase the capacity of the biofactory in 80,000 tons of additional pulp. It will be operational after the annual technical stoppage that is usually carried out at the Ence en Navia facilities.

Scientists will look for signs of presence of chemicals
By Carol Glatz | Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY — The quest to find life on other planets got a boost when astronomers confirmed the existence of at least seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a red dwarf star just 40 light years away.
Three of the planets are located in the so-called “habitable” zone, a kind of “Goldilocks” sweet spot in that their distance from the sun makes them not too hot, not too cold, but just right for having liquid water — an essential ingredient for life.
The pope’s own astronomers applauded the new discovery around the dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1, named after one of the many telescopes that detected the planets. The study’s results were published in Nature magazine Feb. 22.
“The discovery is important because, to date, it has revealed the highest number of Earth-sized planets revolving around a single parent star,” U.S. Jesuit Father David Brown told Catholic News Service.
“Depending on different factors, all of the planets could potentially harbor conditions for the possible existence of life on them,” he said in an email response to questions Feb. 24.
“It is also significant because it shows the existence of such exoplanets — planets outside of our solar system — around low-mass — smaller than the Sun — cool, red, dim stars, which are the most common types of stars in galaxies and which have long lifetimes,” said the astrophysicist, who studies stellar evolution at the Vatican Observatory.
He said scientists and astronomers will now want to use newer and more powerful telescopes to learn more about the TRAPPIST-1 solar system, such as the planets’ atmospheres.
“The aim is to look for signs of the presence of chemicals like water, methane, oxygen, and others by looking at the spectra of the light observed from those atmospheres, and as well to try to examine other atmospheric properties,” Father Brown said.
The name TRAPPIST is an acronym for the “Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope,” which is located in Chile, but the name also reflects the exploration project’s Belgian roots by honoring Belgium’s famous Trappist beers, made by Trappist monks.
“The use of religious names in space discoveries is not rare,” the astrophysicist priest said, because religious men have been among the many scientists contributing to human knowledge of the world and universe throughout history.
For example, he said, several craters on the moon are named after Jesuit priests and brothers and the SECCHI (Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation) instruments being used for solar research are named after Jesuit Father Angelo Secchi, one of the founding fathers of modern astrophysics.
Father Brown said the human fascination with the possibility of life on other planets “speaks to one of the most basic questions that confronts humanity as it contemplates its place in this cosmos: ‘Are we alone, or are there others in the universe?’”
“An answer to that question would have a profound impact on humanity in this world as well as confronting us with the question of how we would interact with our cosmic neighbors,” said the Louisiana native.
Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, director of the Vatican Observatory, said the question of life beyond Earth is “a question of faith.”
While there is no definitive proof yet that extraterrestrial life exists, “our faith in the fact that life exists is strong enough to make us willing to make an effort in looking for it,” he said in an article in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, Feb. 24.
Brother Consolmagno, a planetary scientist, told the Italian bishops’ news agency, SIR, that when it comes to discoveries about the universe, he always expects them to be surprising.
“God speaks to us through what he has created,” he said, and creation has been created “by a God of love, joy, and surprises.”
God made the universe, and “it is up to us scientists and faithful to learn more about what he has created and how he created it.”
“Every new surprise is a tiny burst of joy before his creative greatness,” he said.
Jesuit Father George Coyne, former director of the Vatican Observatory and current Endowed McDevitt Chair in Physics at Le Moyne College, offered the Sun his thoughts on the discovery:
“This discovery of seven planets about a relatively cool red dwarf star, whose surface temperature is several thousands of degrees less than that of our sun, is remarkable in many respects and not only that it has in one blow added seven planets to the list of more than 3,400 exoplanet candidates already discovered. It has reinforced in a striking way the fact that our solar system, and by implication our earth, is a rare bird among all of the planets and planetary systems discovered thus far. The distribution in our solar system of planets by mass, distance from the mother star, circularity of their orbits and other parameters is rare, if not unique. This fact itself should make us cautious about interpreting our findings thus far as indications of the conditions for life, as we know it on earth, elsewhere. Do we need the conditions for life on earth for life elsewhere? And, if we find those conditions, is there life? Caution is required! The chasm between conditions for life and life itself is an enormous one and we have not yet crossed it. We do not yet know how life began on the earth, even though we obviously had all of the conditions: oxygen, ozone, surface water, moderate greenhouse, correct distance from the sun, etc. So, even if we find the conditions for life on any of the planets in the Trappist-1 planetary system or elsewhere, we cannot be sure there is life. We are a long way from having a drink and quiet conversation with an ET.”

He was expected to be arraigned this afternoon in Glendale.
The Glendale Unified School District notified police Tuesday “regarding an allegation of a sexual assault involving an hourly Los Angeles County Regional Occupational instructor and a 14-year-old female on the campus of Hoover High School,” according to Glendale police Sgt. Tom Lorenz.
Jackson was arrested Wednesday at Glendale school district offices, Lorenz said.
According to Lorenz, the investigation revealed that Jackson led people to believe he was a former officer with the Inglewood Police Department, and that may have helped him gain trust and respect among students.
“Detectives learned that Jackson was employed as a part-time hourly employee for the city of Inglewood in parking control,” Lorenz said. “He was separated from the city of Inglewood in 2009. According to detectives, Delvon Jackson was never a police officer for Inglewood, nor any other police agency.”
Bail was set at $100,000 for Jackson, although prosecutors planned to ask that the amount be increased to $400,000.
Prosecutors said Jackson allegedly engaged in sex acts with the girl on three occasions between Oct. 1 and Monday.
He faces up to five years in prison if convicted, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

The traditional lighting of the plum trees along the river followed the concert.
Carnation put together a crowd-pleasing musical lineup for its annual holiday event, now including a parade to usher in Santa on the Eastside Fire & Rescue Reindeer Engine.


Dover seeks to discipline Police Chief Harold Valentine
DOVER The town of Dover wants to suspend long-time Police Chief Harold "Butch" Valentine for 10 days for allegedly threatening Officer Timothy Thiel this past July.
Valentine's attorney, Marcy McMann, said that town Administrator Don Travisano last week served Valentine with a preliminary notice of disciplinary action that alleged he threatened Thiel on July 8. The actions allegedly occurred during a private meeting attended by Valentine, the department's two lieutenants, and Thiel.
Travisano declined comment Wednesday, telling the Daily Record that he does not comment on any personnel issues. He would not discuss any aspect of the disciplinary notice that McMann said was served on her client.
Before the notice was issued, the town hired attorney John O'Reilly to investigate the alleged matter and interview potential witnesses and he prepared a report for the town. O'Reilly, the former Warren County Prosecutor and First Assistant Prosecutor in Morris County, was not available for comment Wednesday at his private practice in Parsippany.
McMann said the next steps include collecting discovery on the case and preparing for a hearing. In the meantime, she said, Valentine remains the police chief.
"The chief plans to vigorously defend the charge and remains chief while the disciplinary charges are pending," McMann said.
Valentine said he believes the charges are politically-based and being pursued by town officials who want him to retire. He said the suspension would cost him about $5,000.
McMann said she anticipates that O'Reilly would act as a prosecutor on behalf of the town and evidence would be presented to a neutral hearing officer at a closed proceeding. The hearing officer, after hearing all evidence and testimony, would make findings. It was not immediately clear Wednesday who -- the town administrator or board of aldermen -- would ultimately decide whether punishment would be meted out if a decision went against Valentine.
Thiel, a 10-year officer in Dover, filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the town and department in July, claiming he was stripped of his detective's position and targeted for retaliation because he complained of fellow officers "stealing time" and other alleged offenses.
One allegation in Thiel's lawsuit is that Valentine threatened him with physical violence and tried to intimidate him on July 8 during a closed-door meeting.
"The meeting was held in a police department interrogation room and plaintiff (Thiel) was placed in the corner of the room thereby creating an atmosphere of intimidation. During the meeting, the chief of police threatened plaintiff with physical violence, told plaintiff he was disrupting the department and mentioned that he heard plaintiff complained of retaliation," Thiel's lawsuit said.
The complaint stated that Thiel then notified Richard Rosell, the town's public safety director to whom the police chief reports. Thiel alerted Rosell that he believed Valentine's actions were retaliatory in connection with his protected activities of complaining of alleged misconduct, the suit said.
Thiel's lawsuit was followed by a complaint filed in August by Sgt. Richard Gonzalez, who alleged that his First Amendment rights were violated and his complaints about deficiencies and possible misconduct in the detective bureau were being ignored.

I have just had my first meeting with my Learning Buddy. As part of the Appraisal Team we have been talking about the whole system for more than a year now, but it has somehow been a sort of abstract concept which seemed to have lots of merits even if it did look like it would be a lot of extra work. Now that I have actually started the process it has prompted me to reflect a little more on what we have been talking about for so long! We have been looking at refining/modifying/improving the whole process of Appraisal and Attestation. The two words (Appraisal and Attestation) need defining and nobody seems to have a really clear idea of the difference between the two. As a group we have tried to make a distinction between the process of Attestation which is necessary for teachers in New Zealand to renew their practising certificate and is, in effect, a tick box exercise to prove that we are capable teachers, and Appraisal, which we feel is more how we develop our skills to improve our teaching and our students’ learning. We think that this should be a robust process but its aim should not be to “tell” somebody else how to do something, it should not be hierarchical and it should not be threatening. We work with our peers, someone we have chosen because we either feel comfortable with them, or because they have skills which we feel can be useful to us in our quest to improve ourselves. We can share ideas, hold up a mirror for them to reflect on their practice and the can do the same for us. We can observe and describe their practice in the classroom but encourage them to come up with answers to their own questions. This is not easy, we are trying to come to terms with the idea of Learning Conversations – for too long we have been used to asking someone for advice on how to do something, waiting for someone to tell us the “best” way to do it – listening, describing and reflecting are not necessarily things we are comfortable doing. Yet, that is what we are asking our students to do – the new curriculum requires us to encourage our students to be independent learners, learners who reflect on their mistakes, on their work, and who find their own solutions to problems with us on hand to guide them but not necessarily to tell them. If we can’t reflect on our own learning, how can we expect our students to do it? We have decided that Reflective Practice is a more appropriate title for what we are doing, we could also call it a Learning Journey, because that is exactly what we are doing – reflecting on our practice, going on a journey of learning. It also separates it in our minds from the word Appraisal that is used by the Ministry of Education for the Attestation process. Maybe going through this process ourselves might actually be the key to learning how to getting our students to be independent learners!

Toward the end of Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip on Aug. 18, a group of highly regarded academics sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These educators, who come from the discipines of political science and international relations, called on Netanyahu to declare his acceptance of the 2002 Saudi Initiative, subject to reservations in four areas: Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, the demilitarization of the West Bank and Gaza and territorial swaps.
Their call was based on the realization that the most recent conflict with Hamas highlighted the existence of a moderate bloc in the Middle East, which fears the growing strength of Islamic extremist groups and the arming of Iran. This bloc includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States (apart from Qatar), Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League.
The 15 academics who signed the brief letter described the many advantages of such a move. According to them, accepting the Arab Initiative will, among other things, lead to the isolation of Hamas and the weakening of the Iran-Hezbollah-Syria-Gaza axis, while improving Israel’s reputation in the world.
Netanyahu has yet to respond to the letter and there are no indications that he intends to follow its advice. For their part, the professors have no intention of letting up. They consider this to be a rare and fleeting opportunity to improve the economic and security situation of Israel at a relatively low price. Other voices from both inside and outside the political system have expressed support for the professors’ letter. They all call for a return to the Arab Initiative, even though it has been ignored by almost every Israeli prime minister since its release.
Alex Mintz, director of the Institute for Policy and Strategy at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, instigated the letter. In an interview with Al-Monitor, he said that by accepting the Arab Initiative, with reservations, Netanyahu will enable Israel to use diplomatic means to weaken Hamas and advance efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He said, “A declaration by Netanyahu stating that he agrees to accept the Arab Peace Initiative with reservations and is willing to negotiate with the Arab League would change Israel’s status in the world within an instant, without it actually having to do anything. It would lift Israel out of its isolation, and of course, it would have a positive impact on the economy.”
Al-Monitor: In your letter to the prime minister, you propose that he should not accept the Arab Initiative verbatim, but that his acceptance of it is subject to reservations. What did you mean by that?
Mintz: We are aware of the fact that the prime minister is unable to accept the program verbatim, because that would lead to the break-up of his coalition. That is why we encourage Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept the Arab Peace Initiative with reservations with regard to four areas: Jerusalem, territorial exchanges and borders, the demilitarization of the Palestinian areas and refugees. As soon as Netanyahu makes a declaration that he accepts the plan subject to certain reservations, it will be possible to begin negotiations in Egypt over those four points. That will at least start providing some positive momentum to the process. The Arab League and the Saudis will respond. The Saudi foreign minister actually spoke about that just three weeks ago.
The moderate bloc shares common interests when facing Iran, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as the rising tide of Islamic State radicalism. Under the leadership of the United States and Egypt, we have an opportunity to form a coalition between Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the Gulf States apart from Qatar, and of course, the Arab League.
Al-Monitor: And where do you think Israel stands right now?
Mintz: The problem as it stands now is that Israel has been ignoring the initiative, and as a result, the Saudis are looking at other options, even in their dealings with Iran vis-a-vis radical elements in the region. They won’t wait forever. They have been sending out feelers to the Iranians and doing even more than that, which means that we could come out the losers twice. The Saudis are looking at their own interests. They are very concerned about Iran, which is laughing all the way to a nuclear bomb right now. Unlike Qatar, which takes every side, the Saudis are actually interested in a coalition with friends like Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. What we have here is an accumulation of interests. In my opinion, a statesman should take a closer look at them and see them as an opportunity.
A military leader is not just someone who excels on the battlefield. It is also someone who knows how to create options to forge alliances and to follow a diplomatic track, which in our case could lead to the weakening of Hamas. That is why there is an important card here as far as Netanyahu is concerned. That is how he can sell the Saudi Initiative to the Israeli public. As far as Israel is concerned, such a move would weaken Hamas and the Iranian axis at once, and that’s a very important objective for Netanyahu.
Al-Monitor: You sound as if you believe that this window of opportunity could slam shut very quickly.
Mintz: Things happen very quickly in the Middle East. The diplomatic constellation of today is one thing, but it can vanish easily by tomorrow. Right now, there are common interests when confronting the wide range of threats faced by Israel, and unfortunately, these are only expanding. We now have the radical Islamist organizations, which we should try to neutralize through formal alliances, but we must also weaken Hamas and the Iranian axis through diplomatic means, rather than going from one round of fighting to the next, from one conflict to the next.
I also think that Iran and Hezbollah both have a goal of arming the West Bank. If they succeed in doing that, what we saw during Operation Protective Edge will be little more than child’s play. Those people don’t stop making progress.
Iran was the big winner in Operation Protective Edge because it drew attention away from the Iranian nuclear program. And it all happened in just seven weeks. Suddenly, Iran and the United States share common interests when it comes to the Islamic State.
Al-Monitor: With Netanyahu locked in a right-wing coalition, how could he accept the Arab Initiative?
Mintz: I claim that a declaration that he accepts the Saudi Initiative with reservations would not bring down the government. Those reservations will allow him to preserve Israel’s national security interests. The wisdom is to avoid going into detail about those reservations. There is no reason to be specific. All of that could be left for the negotiations. The reservations will make it possible to start talking, because no one is giving up anything for now.
It is more a case of creating positive momentum. It means signaling to the other party that you are ready to talk. We also think that the statement and the call for talks should come from Netanyahu. Under those circumstances, the other side will not say no. After all, they are also eager to do something about the issue. Even Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman came out in favor of this, as did the former head of the Shin Bet, Science and Technology Minister Yaakov Peri; Knesset member Ofer Shelah; and former head of the Mossad Danny Yatom.
Al-Monitor: The Arab Initiative was proposed over a decade ago. Is it still relevant?
Mintz: I say that not only is it still relevant, but that this is the time to do it, because the circumstances will never be better. I claim that Hamas, Hezbollah, with the support of Iran, will try to topple [Palestinian President] Mahmoud Abbas once again, and we’ll end up with Hamas and Iran in the West Bank, and in a big way at that. It’s hard to tell what each day will bring in the Middle East, but this looks like a good time to take advantage of the talks led by Egypt, which are scheduled to take place in Cairo, and to put a process into motion that could weaken Hamas in a single blow. Such a coalition is Hamas’ greatest nightmare.
Al-Monitor: As an expert in political marketing, how would you recommend Netanyahu sell this idea to the Israeli public?
Mintz: It is relatively easy to sell it to the general public. Netanyahu’s problem is opposition to any concessions inside the Likud Party and other parties of his government. Selling it to the public would shift him closer to the center. What he is doing now is fighting against [Economy and Trade Minister] Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Liberman for the votes of the right, with anyone who wants to vote for an authentic right-wing party supporting Bennett. On the other hand, a statement from Netanyahu that he accepts the Saudi Initiative will bring him plenty of votes from the center. Experience shows that leaders who strive to bring peace see their popularity soar sky high.
Netanyahu is a real artist when it comes to getting Israel’s views across. He should emphasize that the move is intended to weaken Hamas and the dangerous alliance led by Iran. He can even wink at the right and say, “I’m not doing anything,” because he has his reservations after all.

Amazon Echo is working perfectly in India but their is a catch. Prime Music hasn’t been launched in India but Amazon activates it for the Echo subscribers. So practically Echo owners in India can have the access to prime Music. Otherwise its nothing but a blue-tooth speaker, you can use to play songs.How is Amazon doing in India?
Due to Indian regulations, Amazon operates only a marketplace in India, selling goods through third-party vendors, but it handles the technology infrastructure and most of its vendors' deliveries. Building out its own delivery network, as opposed to relying on UPS or the Postal Service as it does domestically, is costly.Is Amazon an Indian company?
Amazon India Ltd. provides online retail services. The company was founded in 1994 and is based in India. The company operates as a subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc.

The federal Member for Page says she should know the defence plans for Evans Head's exclusion area by the end of the week.
Concerns were raised this week when a proposal was leaked of a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) extension of the current public 'no-go' area for RAAF training.
Page MP Janelle Saffin says locals have told her the plan would cut off beach and ocean access for commercial and recreational fishing.
She says she will be briefed by the federal Defence Minister this week.
"Once I've got the facts in front of me then we can be more strategic about how we defend the interests of Evans Head but I was quite shocked like a lot of the community to find out that these plans were afoot," she said.
The chairman of the Evans Head Marine management Committee says he was approached by the Air Force about a suitable guest list for an announcement.
Rod Blake says he fears for the future of the town if fishing exclusion zones are extended.
"Evans Head's heritage is a fishing village, it was the first prawning port to ever be developed and that's its continued heritage and that's what its economy is based on here at the moment," he said.
"Every second vehicle that comes into town from out of town at Christmas and Easter time is towing a boat."

This sort of tender loving care will just assist workers with explaining how they can prevail inside your organization.
The title of this stage is obscure for an explanation – general, whenever preparing can have various structures. Here’s a couple of sorts of preparing for various kinds of workers:

Re-Engagement and Check-Ins
Now and again, our accessibility or inspiration plunges – for those occasions, it’s basic that your association has a re-commitment plan set up. It’s an ideal opportunity to use inner promoting systems to arrive at your students and remind them why web based preparing is significant for them and the organization. Here’s a couple of fast strides to executing re-commitment crusades. To see more, look at our blog about How To Implement A Captivating eLearning Re-Engagement Campaign:
Sort out WHY students aren’t locked in
Assess your learning materials
Make need and make it dire
Dispatch an interior showcasing procedure
Invigorate and Renew
The greatest mix-up coaches can make is accepting that they’re done after a course has been finished by students. In truth, there is no “end” to preparing – it’s a ceaseless pattern of lifetime realizing, which ought to be invigorated and reestablished frequently. To quit preparing resembles saying there’s no more to learn!If you get yourself not making or dealing with any preparation right now, reevaluate where your association’s preparation fits inside this cycle. In the event that you need some motivation here’s a couple of beginning squares to help: how would you be able to deal with make it more pertinent to clients? How might your organization be improved by upgraded representative abilities? Are for the most part authentications, data, and items exceptional? Is your consistence preparing revived and exceptional? Have you made a 1 year LMS registration?


How It Works
Adding volume to the mid-face/cheek area can provide patients with a very pleasing overall facial aesthetic. Contouring the cheeks, helps to bring out the overall shape of the face, making it far more aesthetically-pleasing and far more natural, while reducing the unnatural, somewhat rectangular appearance that can appear. Also, another interesting benefit of injections performed at the mid-face can often fill the skin envelope, softening the nasolabial folds, without the need of additional injections.
Juvéderm® Voluma XC Indications
Juvéderm® Voluma is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical option to instantly correct age-related volume loss in the cheek area in patients 21 and older. Juvéderm® Voluma has been used in Europe since 2005 and approved in over 60 countries with over 500,000 syringes used.
What is Juvederm Voluma XC Used For?
As we previously mentioned, Juvéderm® Voluma XC is typically used for restoring cheek or mid face volume loss and also to help restore a more youthful curve and position to the higher area of cheekbones in mostly women (not as much for men, as they tend to require stronger more pronounced angles.
Across the United States, as well as much of Europe and Canada, Juvéderm® Voluma has been widely and very successfully used for off label FDA uses for lifting, volumizing and recontouring the face and jawline. Injection using little blunt microcannulas in addition to traditional small needles is also widely used for helping create a natural look while minimizing discomfort and bruising.
One of the major differences between Volume XC and the vast majority of injectable dermal fillers out there, is the higher, more advanced Vycross technology by Allergan. This amazing tech ensures that patients are able to achieve far smoother, more consistent, more easily sculpted facial features. This special cross-linking technology not only produces the lift and fill that is unique to Voluma, but it also contributes to its long-lasting nature – with most patients able to achieve results that last upwards of one to two years at a time!

Congrats Coach Andersen, Good Thing it’s a Portable Hot Tub
Bullfrog Spa Owner, Gary Andersen, Chosen to Lead the Wisconsin Badgers
We know moving is probably high on Coach Andersen’s list of current worries, right behind the bruising Big 10 O-lines he’ll be facing. Let us just assure you that your Bullfrog Spa is a completely portable hot tub that will travel just fine and perform perfectly in the cold Wisconsin winters.
We also can’t overlook the fact that Andersen is due additional congratulations for what he and his team accomplished this year. The Utah State University Aggies finished the season with a dominant win in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, a #18 ranking, and an impressive 11-2 record.The 2 losses were close hard fought games with BYU and coincidentally, Wisconsin. Both games were decided by 3 points or less and hinged on missed field goals.
Bullfrog Spas would like to take at least a little credit in keeping Gary relaxed and stress free. After all, nobody, especially an NCAA head football coach, can perform their best if they are tense and anxious and no spa provides better personalized therapy.
We wish Gary Andersen all the best in Wisconsin and in wherever your coaching career takes you and your Bullfrog Spa.

Driven on by the popularity of low-cost netbook computers, shipments of laptops have surpassed 70 percent of the Japanese PC market for the first time.
In November 457,000 laptops were shipped in Japan against 185,000 desktop computers, according to data released Wednesday by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). That split the market 71.1 percent in favor of laptops and 28.9 percent to desktops.
Total shipments for the month were down about 7 percent on November 2007 due to the poor economy but laptop shipments were up 3 percent on the year while desktop shipments dropped 25 percent, said JEITA.
The total value of PC shipments was down 17 percent at
The JEITA data is based on shipment figures received from 13 major PC vendors including Apple, Sony, Sharp, NEC, Lenovo, Fujitsu and Toshiba.

Pardon a slight ellipsis. This is just a little beyond where I left off quoting from the Preface of my new book on Amazon, The Traditional Mind in Greco-Roman Antiquity and Gaelic Ireland.
Readers not fully indoctrinated into the academic brotherhood will not grasp how outrageously anathematic are the comments just written. The first scholarly article I ever succeeded in placing with a “respectable” journal sought to elucidate a cryptic metaphor in the poetry of Sappho by juxtaposing to it the same metaphor—duplicated unwittingly about two millennia later—from the tongue of the Hebridean Gaelic singer Mary MacLeod. Soon after, I saw my little gem cited in the copious footnotes of a legendary scholar writing for Transactions of the American Philological Association. He had singled out my piece as representative of “all that has gone wrong” in contemporary classical studies. His own oracular pronouncement on Sappho’s image, ironically, reached precisely the same conclusion as had my vile comparative method: His Nibs has apparently read no further than my title!
I offer this anecdote as a way of embarking upon my concluding remarks. Yes, the synthesizing of the classical essay with two shorter essays about Irish Gaelic was convenient in that, without that stratagem, I should not have had sufficient volume to fill out a book; and I have already explained that I have no further plans of researching the Greco-Roman proverb, so the inaugural essay was destined to grow no larger. Yet I will also underscore now the high probability that none of these essays would ever have been accepted for publication in any form unless I had spent years rewriting and resubmitting them, one by one, to “respected” scholarly journals. Even the shortest of the three is likely too long for such venues. More to the point, however, one cannot find a home for scholarly writing if one does not come to the door dressed suitably for admission. Classicists, for instance, will have nothing to do with the proposition that Homer uses triadic structuring as a mnemonic device in assembling his great epics; to Celticists, the same proposition has been acknowledged of their traditional texts for decades. Classicists will not entertain the argument that a skeletal myth disguised superficially might be intended to evoke a subliminal response—not unless one can point to scribal marginalia that aver, “Priam’s journey to retrieve Hector’s body is an allegory of the passage to Hades.” Of course, proof of such a nature rarely exists… so the speculation must not be entertained by serious minds.
I know these charges against the scholarly establishment to be justified. I have the letters of rejection to prove them, one of which implied—not very coyly—that I was out of my mind!
In my three decades of teaching at the college level, I have grown invincibly weary of such “insider politics”. The process of peer review has degenerated into a sort of Old Boys’ Club where the referees, “established scholars” all, denigrate submissions mildly contradicting their own magna opera and give the nod only to research confirming the results of their own illustrious monographs (copies of which they will rain—with uncharacteristic generosity—upon any graduate student who strays into originality). No doubt, human nature leaves such disappointing evidence of egotism in all areas of endeavor. One hears ad nauseam from this same scholarly class, for example, about how the auto industry and oil companies have bought up innovative patents just to keep grinding out their unimproved and wasteful products on creaky old assembly lines.
Yet presently we are witnessing more than garden-variety egotism. Ideological warfare is afoot. The very notion of human nature has come under direct attack at least since Darwin, as I have suggested (for one cannot mold the race’s glorious destiny if basic nature stands in the way); but especially during the years that have overlapped my adult participation in the academy, the assault has been stepped up. One may not so much as hint that we humans have any characteristics that culture has not grafted upon us (the sin of “essentialism”), unless these be our most rudimentary biological drives. An implicit moral nihilism has locked its fatal grasp upon college humanities programs, in my humble opinion; for when right and wrong are mere cultural constructs, and since no two cultures are minutely alike, no such thing as absolute goodness or evil can exist. We have, instead, a jungle of lusts, impulses, and defense mechanisms as we await the strongest of apes to declare himself—or herself—“peerless leader”.
This insistent relativism, of course, underlies the great scholar’s sneer at my comparing Sappho with Mary MacLeod. No two cultures must ever be compared without a final and heavy stress of their differences, for to do otherwise would suggest that human beings share meaningful characteristics beneath their cultural conditioning. Such non-empirical, quasi-spiritual suppositions must not be allowed to leak into the discipline—into any discipline that would preserve its claim as such.
Yet if literature may not be studied except through material data and as a material artifact, why do the “humanities” exist; and in what sense might their cultivation credibly be said to make us better, inasmuch as “better” implies a moral judgment, and moral judgments have been ruled off limits by our “humanitarian” elite?

A man has been jailed for breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO) just days after he was released from prison.
Steven Parry of Glan Cadnant, Caernarfon, appeared before Llandudno Magistrates Court, where he was sentenced to 60 days imprisonment for breaching the conditions of his CBO, which was issued in June.
The order, which is valid for five years, was violated when Edwards caused “distress to the residents living on his estate”.
Sergeant Non Edwards of the Neighbouring Policing Team said: “Having only been released from prison days ago, Mr Parry returned to Glan Cadnant and breached the Order causing distress to the residents living on this estate.
"Working closely with 'Adra', a considerable amount of work went into obtaining a Criminal Behaviour Order against him back in June, which is valid for five years.
"Sadly he could not abide by the conditions and rightly so, was arrested and put back before the court.
"We will continue to prosecute those who use foul, abusive, insulting and offensive, threatening disorderly behaviour and who breach such orders.
"Protecting our communities and people who wish to live peacefully will continue to be one of our priorities."

News: ‘Raiders’ show off talents at R-Factor
Story by Spc. Andrew Ingram
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait – Twelve soldiers showcased a variety of different talents as they competed for one of 10 spots, during the first elimination round of the R Factor competition at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, July 12.
The R Factor is a talent competition based on a popular television show, hosted by the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
With vocal styles ranging from country twang to Native-American chant, and comedy routines and light shows thrown into the mix, the “Raider” soldiers attempted to wow the judges and earn a spot in the competition’s finale, scheduled for Aug. 23.
“A lot of different talents were brought to the competition tonight,” said talent judge, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Steven Colburn, Air Defense Air Management Brigade Aviation Cell, 1st ABCT. “I think everybody brought their ‘A’ game.”
Colburn said he looks forward to watching the competitors become more comfortable on stage as they practice and perform.
“There were a lot of nerves tonight, but my hope is that these contestants will take our advice to heart,” Colburn said. “I hope the Soldiers will stand out with originality and blow us away next week.”
Staff Sgt. Harry Swartz, who made it through the first round, with a rendition of the Kriss Kross 1992 rap song, “Jump,” said he plans to heed the judges’ advice, going a more original direction with his next performance.
“I want to go back to my favorite genre, which is hair band type music, the kind of music you just want to bang your head to, said Swartz, transportation platoon sergeant, Company A, 4th Brigade Support Battalion, 1st ABCT. “I’m very pumped up to see where this competition goes.”
Elimination rounds will remain closed to spectators until the finale next month, scheduled to coincide with the Raider Brigade birthday celebration.
Fans will cast the deciding vote for first, second and third place during the finale, said Spc. Elizabeth Erickson, the Raider Brigade’s Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers representative, who organized the event.
“It’s been a long journey but I’m very excited that we are making this happen,” said Erickson, signal support system specialist, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st ABCT. “It’s going to be an amazing event, and a great reason to get out of the tent and have some fun.”
