From July 2011, the Ministry will no longer monitor air quality at the three GEMS sites. The 2010 annual report and the 2011 six monthly report will be the last reports published in this series. Regional councils and unitary authorities will continue to monitor and report on air quality in their regions. Local air quality information is available on your council’s website or by contacting them. The Ministry will continue to summarise this information and report it on our air quality environmental reporting web pages. The Ministry is developing an air quality monitoring programme focusing on pollutants that are not widely monitored. This programme is scheduled to be implemented in 2012 with results being published annually on the Ministry’s website.

MIMI KIDS MINISTRY UGANDA Mimi Kids Ministry Uganda is situated in Eastern Uganda, which is currently known as the poorest region in Uganda due to various factors. Our ministry brings new hope as we encourage these children together with their families and communities by meeting their spiritual, social, and economical needs, hence positively transforming their lives and communities by God’s grace and provision. All of these children have gained courage and hope, as they move forward to reach their brighter future in the Lord. Mimi Kids Ministry Uganda was founded by Tumwa Charles Ivan in 2012 in Bwhonda village in the Mayuge district. He was born into a poor and simple family where his parents and relatives were unable to provide or help each other with food, shelter, clothing, and education among other necessities. Spending a day without someone falling sick was a miracle. By God’s grace, a man came into his life who was not a relative and supported him through many of his levels of education. After school, he deepened himself in the ministry and followed God’s calling on his life in Children’s Ministry. He began sharing and supporting the orphan and needy children with the little that God provided. He continued doing this until April of 2019 when he officially registered with the government of Uganda as Mimi Kids Ministry Uganda Ltd. Tumwa Charles’s difficult childhood is what drives his passion of helping, sharing, teaching, and leading these children in God’s way and showing them love with action because he knows personally what it means to be born into and raised in a poor family.

In order to really see the forest, what's the best way to count the trees? Understanding how the economy interacts with the environment has important implications for policy, regulatory, and business decisions. How should our national economic accounts recognize the increasing interest in and importance of the environment? Nature's Numbers responds to concerns about how the United States should make these measurements. The book recommends how to incorporate environmental and other non-market measures into the nation's income and product accounts. The panel explores alternative approaches to environmental accounting, including those used in other countries, and addresses thorny issues such as how to measure the stocks of natural resources and how to value non-market activities and assets. Specific applications to subsoil minerals, forests, and clean air show how the general principles can be applied. The analysis and insights provided in this book will be of interest to economists, policymakers, environmental advocates, economics faculty, businesses based on natural resources, and managers concerned with the role of the environment in our economic affairs.

To put it mildly, I was smitten at first sight and in a full-blown love affair with the epic treat at first bite. It's life-changing, to say the least, so I'm shocked that it had never crossed my mind to slather gobs of Nutella on toast's most delicious kissing cousin. The only way I can explain this oversight is that perhaps I was too busy gorging myself on the treat in my typical manner, which is to say I was spooning it jar to mouth — repeat ad nauseam. Let's just say that since then, I've been making up for lost time. While my initial iterations of this indulgent treat involved a jar of the traditional chocolate-hazelnut spread, it was only improved upon when spread with the remainder of a batch of homemade almond Nutella. So please, do yourself a favor and whip up a batch, and join me in the ANP (After Nutella Pizza) era. This pizza is best enjoyed hot out of the oven but is still quite tasty as leftovers the next day. If you don't feel like making homemade almond Nutella (though it is surprisingly easy to prep), I'd recommend Justin's Chocolate Almond Butter or traditional Nutella. Chopped salted almonds are a solid alternative (or addition) to the crumbled amaretti cookies. - Preheat the oven to 500°F, setting a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven at the same time. - Roll or stretch out the ball of pizza dough so that it's approximately an 8-inch circle; you're aiming for a thicker crust than is standard. If rolling the dough out, dust the rolling surface (either a large cutting board or clean countertop work well) with wheat bran or cornmeal to ensure that the dough does not stick. - Remove the cast-iron skillet from the oven, flip it upside down, and rub the exposed surface with oil using a paper towel. Carefully and quickly, arrange the pizza dough on top of the skillet. - Put back in the oven and cook for 8 to 12 minutes or until the crust is browned and puffy. - Move the baked pizza dough to a cutting board, and spread with Nutella. Top with crumbled amaretti cookies, and dot with dollops of whipped cream. - Desserts, Chocolate - North American - 4 to 6 servings

On the back it affirms: “At any given instant, no matter where you will be, there are hundreds involving things who are around you that are interesting and worth telling. “ A stylist’s suggestion: always carry a good very little notebook and some sort of dog pen with you in order to be capable in order to sketch, doodle in addition to create down what you find out. Retain all your results, notes and pictures in a folder or field and even keep searching for from least some to 8-10 weeks. Subsequently start to group points by simply color or theme and you will probably learn what your style can be. And there are no rules. It truly is all concerning finding what you prefer!

This past May, the College of Business and the Economics department paired up to allow students to experience cultural immersion in China. A group of eleven students and two UW- Eau Claire professors (Brenda Thalacker and Maria DaCosta) traveled to Southern China to learn about their culture, values, and business economy. Though Professor Thalacker became ill partway through the trip, Professor DaCosta and the eleven students were able to continue their travels. Through most of the trip, the group stayed in Hong Kong and Zhuhai; however, they also made visits to Macau and Guangzhou. While in these cities, the students explored a variety of sightseeing attractions. These attractions include Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, which allowed the students to see a wide view of the city, and Yuanmin Palace in Zhuhai. The tourist attractions weren’t all that the group experienced. Professor DaCosta and the students enrolled in several classes, including Intercultural Communication and Oral Chinese. In other classes, the students enjoyed activities such as calligraphy, musical instruments, and Chinese cooking. Through these classes, they were all able to learn the differing business etiquettes and expectations as well as obtain a deeper understanding of the Chinese culture. In order to gain perspective of Chinese business culture and economy, the group toured several leading firms, including By-Health Company and Century Equipment Company. The students learned the varying business strategies within each of the companies. The Industry 4.0 or “smart factory technology” industry, By-Health Co., impressed students with their high technological advances while Century Equipment Co. provided students with an idea of a more traditional business model for distributing food service equipment. After the three weeks, students returned home exhausted but filled with a vast amount of new knowledge and experiences of the Chinese culture. The program will be led by Professor DaCosta again in the summer of 2018 if enough students enroll.

Betraying its chic, minimalist appearance, this brilliant bottle holds miracles. So much more than a hair treatment, OLAPLEX’s four-step ritual is a system that permanently rebuilds the damaged disulphide bonds in your hair – which are compromised as a result of colouring, heat styling and everyday wear and tear. Olaplex Number 3 Hair Perfector (100ml) is a deep treatment that reconnects bonds in the hair that have been broken by colouring, lightening or excessive heat styling. By multiplying and rebuilding the hair's bonds, it eliminates breakage whilst making colour last much longer. This results in healthy hair that is revitalised with a new lease of life. You'll see the best results when you use this in conjunction with step 1 + 2, which are in-salon services. Silicone, Sulphate, Phthalates, DEA and Aldehyde free plus it is not tested on animals. Vegan-friendly. OLAPLEX N3 HAIR PERFECTOR 100ML Directions of use: - Apply a generous amount to wet (not washed with shampoo) hair then comb through. - Leave in for 10 minutes or longer. - Rinse and wash with a Sulphate free shampoo then condition. - If necessary, can be used more than once per week.

Use your EP vote and make a wise choice The European Parliament (EP) elections will be held towards the end of this month. The UK’s date for voting in person will be May 23, though postal ballots are already going out. I hope these will be used and not thrown away. If ordinary decent people do not vote in this election, Wales could be represented – for however short a time – by extremists and wreckers. The EP influences around 10% of law on the environment, food standards and the rights of people at work in England and Wales and throughout the European Union. You may wish to send a signal to Mrs May about Brexit, but who you vote for will not change whether or when we leave the European Union. That is up to the UK government as directed by Parliament. Even if our MEPs have a short stay in Brussels, it is important that they make a positive contribution while they are there. If we leave the EU on schedule, we will have to remain on good terms with our neighbours who are still members. There is an outside chance that the UK government will see revocation of Article 50 as the least bad way to come out of the current crisis, in which case the four people we elect from Wales will be in place for five full years. For all these reasons it is important that we elect people who will not treat their short stay as a sinecure or merely self-promotion. Neath - (Welsh Liberal Democrat, but writing in a personal capacity) Join march, free Wales from incompetence European elections are going to take place despite the fact that Wales voted to leave the European Union three years ago. What a total waste of time and money! Those elected will never take their seats in Brussels, or if they do, only for a few weeks. This shows the total incompetence of the United Kingdom government. Total incompetence going back to Cameron’s time, when he allowed the right-wing cranks in the Tory Party and Farageists to force a vote on membership of the EU. And total incompetence by both the Tory and Labour parties not to carry out the wishes of the people in not leaving the EU at the set date. Westminster could not run a bath, let alone foreign policy. What is certain is they should no longer be allowed to run Wales’ foreign relations. We need to be free of London’s meddling in our internal and external affairs. We have a government in the Senedd elected by the people of Wales. A government that will act for the people of Wales. In Cardiff on Saturday, May 11, there will be an Independence For Wales March, starting from City Hall after noon. Anyone who wants to see a prosperous Wales, a Wales taking its place among the nations of the world, a Wales free of right-wing Little Englandism should come and join this march. We can build a new and better Wales here and now. The idea that the man in Westminster knows better how to run Wales than we do is totally absurd. It’s not that we can’t afford independence, it’s that we can no longer afford to be run by the incompetents in Westminster. Free Wales! Cllr Keith Parry Plaid Cymru City Councillor for Fairwater, Cardiff Senedd will be judged by its achievements It’s hard to believe that 20 years have passed since Ron Davies uttered the words “Good morning and it is a very good morning in Wales”. A proud and ancient people had decided by a whisker that they wanted more control of their affairs. Much has happened since then. Cardiff has benefited considerably. There has been a new confidence in the air. Unfortunately, this has not been shared throughout the country. It is true that from a social point of view Wales has been a leader in a number of areas. While carrier bags, smacking and “presumed consent” organ donations are worthy causes, it is still a fact that Wales remains one of the poorest parts of Europe and the UK. Things which need to be done urgently are deferred indefinitely. Much of our industry works on the principle of financial inducements to foreign firms to set up shop here, and we are the first to feel the blast when things go wrong. We have natural resources that are not utilised or are given away. Wales has an aging population and also a high demand for medical services. A Welshman brought the National Health Service into being. Now that the Senedd has tax- raising powers, couldn’t a similar scheme for care of the aged be set up similar to National Insurance? The Senedd graces the waterfront at Cardiff Bay. It is here to stay, and it is not its location but what it achieves that will win the approval of the Welsh people. No mistake about the Chris Davies case In his interview the convicted MP Chris Davies says that he made “a mistake” concerning invoices he submitted when first elected. That was certainly not what the sentencing judge believed. I looked up the meaning of “mistake”, and found that it is defined as being a “slip”, “blunder”, “flaw”, “oversight”, “gaffe” – and, please note, “error”. The judge’s words were clear, “There was no error here. What you did was quite deliberate and it must have taken some time to create your fake documents”. The fact that the Independent Parliamentary Standards Committee (which oversees MPs’ expenses) referred Davies to the police, and that the Conservative head office, the police, and the ever-cautious Crown Prosecution Service all thought that what he did was serious enough for him to be charged, and that he was sentenced for that offence, shows that what Chris Davies did was no “mistake” by an inexperienced MP, but, as the judge decided, a deliberate act intended to deceive. Have your say on ban if you value family life Polling has shown that the vast majority of Welsh parents are against a smacking ban, and yet the Welsh Government is pushing ahead with its agenda to make it law. It’s easy to see how this could criminalise many loving parents who might be reported for administering a gentle corrective smack on the bottom. In recent times there has been a worrying trend for government to exceed its role, and get involved in areas which shouldn’t concern it. This interference in family life is a prime example. Child abuse and assault are already catered for under present law, so to argue that the proposed law is needed to give children the same protection as adults is nonsense. Ironically, it is only with the protection of their offspring in mind that parents have resorted to the occasional smack, and many children have lived to thank them for it. There are those who are sincere in their belief that they are doing children a big favour by supporting a smacking ban, but one can be sincerely wrong. The Welsh Government’s Children, Young People and Education Committee will be scrutinising the Government’s plans. Their consultation (online only) invites responses from the public on this vital matter before 5pm on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. It may be accessed at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/OPK2EE If you value family life in this country, please make your voice heard. Find the money to safeguard our planet Are readers aware of the stance of Neil Hamilton AM on climate change and ecological breakdown? Mr Hamilton believes that warming is “just a matter of natural climate change”, despite current temperatures being well above what could be explained by natural cycles. I confess that I am not a climate scientist, but then again neither is he. He scorns the IPCC reports, which are based on thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, referencing instead three notorious climate change deniers’ websites. He argues that Wales has minimal CO2 impact. We are in no position to put pressure on other countries, though, until we put our own house in order. Incidentally, our impact is not so small once you take account of imports. Mr Hamilton expresses concern for the living standards of people on low incomes, and of course these are not the people who should foot the bill for decarbonising. Politicians need to manage the necessary rapid, large-scale changes in a way that provides fairness and security. Vast sums were thrown at the banking crisis; money can surely be found to safeguard our children’s future.

Take PalMal for instance...I can’t tell if he was sold as a yearling or not but pedigree query says he was sold as a two year old in training for $200,000. That is decidedly not cheap. I have several things I look at that aren’t strictly quantified (and some that aren’t quantifiable at all) and therefore have to stay mindful that some of my impressions are inevitably going to be subjective. But without subjectivism we would all be betting on the same horse and where’s the fun in that? ;) Oldbettowin said...I guess something like whether a horse was cheap or not would mostly be in the eye of the beholder. We were talking about auction prices, right? Not sure what that has to do with "eye of the beholder". :) I just copy them straight out of equibase. Meanwhile, undercard is going well. Made me realize my investment in Belmont won't be very large. The odds seem kinda low for the kind of risk we are taking. Not to belabor the point but I was just using one of your examples Palace Malice to try to understand where you were coming from. Most people wouldn’t consider anything about him to be cheap as he was bred by royalty (well not literally royalty but Will Farish was US ambassador to the UK) and sold to Dogwood for 200k. It’s been a crazy Triple Crown season, and I haven’t cashed on either of the first two legs, so let’s see if we can go out with a bang. After all, 2017 was my only other season (since I started capping TC races in 2010) that I didn’t cash in at least 1 of the 3 races, so I’d like to avoid another goose egg. In this year’s Belmont, after I tallied up points for all of the different pedigree and performance factors that I’ve learned to respect, my scores were clustered into tiers. My top contenders are Tacitus and Spinoff. After them I like Tax and Sir Winston the best. And then my fringe contenders, just for the bottom of a tri, would be Master Fencer and Intrepid Heart. Accordingly, I structured my tickets as shown below. Total wager is $62. Enjoy the race, and thanks to all of the good people of this forum for sharing your thoughts with me this spring. Let’s do it again next TC season! Cheers and good luck, 6, 10 with 4, 6, 7, 10 6, 10 with 4, 6, 7, 10 with 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 Ive had Tacitus slotted as Belmont horse since I first looked a his pedigree. Also playing Sir Winston., putting MF in 3rd and Wow 4th, will play small exotics with tax, the the previous four mostly straight. mixing up the top two in top posititions and bottom two in bottom positions. I'm also playing Tacitus, along with Intrepid Heart, as top 2, wheeling the rest in 3rd for the tri....placing a saver bet on Spinoff for the win, as his price warrants it. A possible wire-to-wire.. Nicely done! Hopefully Raes has something on it too; he was all over Winston and Tacitus. Perfect trip for Tax, no excuse. Put a US Grant on him to win. Had the 6-3 exacta in the Woody Stephens, thought maybe the Steward gods would gift me one... but no. Wintertrian said...sorry didn't finish my post about Joevia. If you look at his works at Belmont, back in Jan, Feb, and March, his workouts were "sharper" than Tacitus and Spinoffs this week, so yeah, he's *fast* on the BEL surface. ....and indeed, he was. I didn't play a tri or superfecta so I wouldn't have had Joevia but his works at BEL ended up foreshadowing his finish ITM. I was trying to talk some guys at the track into betting the Awesome Agains......his dam was lightning fast....track was playing right for that..

Hablemos Press, Osmel Almaguer, Havana, 11 September 2015 — For the majority of Cubans who can avail themselves of “all-included” hotel packages (who, by the way, do not constitute the majority of the population), their primary incentive for going is for the chance to be treated “as a person.” “Sir, are you feeling well?” “Good Morning. How may I help you?” Those famous magic words that were taught to us in school seem to have migrated exclusively to the tourist poles of the country. A friend recently invited me to enjoy such a package at the Hotel Palma Real located on the Matanzas pole of Varadero. Being that this is a “four star” establishment, my expectations of being treated “as a person” rose exponentially. Other friends who had experienced this deal had spoken very highly of it, and being that it was going to be my first time, I had only their testimonial to start imagining what it would be like. Furthermore, my intent was to escape the stress and mediocrity that predominates in today’s Cuban society where, in the best of cases, one is treated by others with a sort of faux-courtesy that is overly familiar. Nonetheless, after arriving at the Hotel Palma Real, the castle of expectations began to crumble when we saw the physical state of the property. This bad impression only grew worse as the days went on. This was in large part because of the deficient behavior of some of the staff who tended to congregate in the various areas of the hotel, telling jokes at high decibels and even letting fly four-letter words. The stigma of being Cuban still attaches to us in these places. It manifested several times at the bar with repeated incidents of poor treatment by certain wait staff. To top it off, the air conditioner, a central unit, was broken and, besides not cooling the air, it leaked and made a puddle in the room. Most of the products on offer were not of the best quality. For example, I recall that instead of ham, they presented us with a lunch meat very similar to what is sold on the ration book. The soft drinks, which, according to the staff were Fanta and Sprite, were far from the known quality of these brands. “It’s a house on the improved beach,” I heard a young woman say at the next table when we finally entered the hotel’s grill for the first time, after having waited two hours to be given our wristbands identifying us as hotel guests and entitling us to corresponding privileges. I was surprised by the few entertainment options, limited to two pools and some four bars, with no game rooms or other similar amenities. There was a gym, but it was for guests who paid an extra fee, while the two specialized restaurants were for those who were staying for more than three nights. Despite all these issues, some of the stress of urban living floated away in the swimming pools, in the company of my friend and her family. When all is said and done, it appears that in this country one should not get his hopes up too high, nor dream of being treated as a person. Translated by: Alicia Barraqué Ellison

First of all, it’s important to understand that a no motion vote of the British has been adopted, the outcome is unclear concerning the exit of the European Union or the wish of the United Kingdom to stay. As a result, the situation is uncertain, it is necessary to remain very attentive in the future to keep updated with the latest decisions being made. Can BREXIT impact real estate values and what are the impact on investments? The housing market in London has been stagnant for several years and real estate statistics have shown a decline in average real estate prices in the UK. If there is a “No Deal” between the UK and the European Union member states, an estimate has been made of a 25% to 35% fall in real estate prices over 3 years, and who knows, certainly a decrease in the value of the pound Sterling. Our team can assist you with tailor-made solutions to optimize all your financial and legal requirements or real estate planning needs during this transition period of BREXIT. Will the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union lead to tax changes, both for British residents in France and for French residents in the UK? In this situation, the end of BREXIT with a “No Deal” (or not) won’t change anything, Whatever happens, tax for residents and non-residents will be changed. Households may have new tax laws. The same applies for companies that are closely linked to one country. There will be fiscal friction. For example, the VAT regime for transactions made with the United Kingdom will no longer be harmonized with the rest of Europe. A French company which realizes taxable operations for VAT purposes with the UK will be obliged to declare and pay VAT due to the UK tax administration. Without an agreement on leaving the European Union, companies from the United Kingdom will no longer benefit from exemption on withholding taxes on French-sourced dividends .

I love defense games. Many times, it’s all about what unit to dedicate your resources into, what order you create them, and how you upgrade your defenders. Tower defense is the most common and Crystal War takes the warriors of the medieval age and sends an army of green goblins (no Spiderman relation), Orcs, and Balrogs to battle for the sake of Middle Ear—er… this world! This RTS Defense game is released by GNC Interactive on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for $0.99 with a free alternative. To start, the art style is absolutely great. Deep, well-illustrated, incredibly detailed and layered background environments, the characters have a Fire Emblem/Castlevania style with the dark black outline and the mostly solid coloring. The art for the map screen shows depth and just enough detailing to make it grand and feel epic. The interface is well don and the text is appropriate and legible. It feels like a full game that would be released on the PSP or DS. The scale of the characters and just how many you can push out into the fight is pretty amazing. All the different unit types swarm the field and their little health bars get torn to shreds. Once in a while, a coin will drop so you will have to collect them in order to upgrade your units. All an all, you just press the unit-spawning images to spawn them if you have the resources to pay for it. In the human side, you get access to a soldier unit that is free. Trust me, when you aren’t tapping the field or making costly units, this free unit button is being spammed like there’s no tomorrow. The goal is to make Mining units, gather materials while spamming your soldiers, and making sure to summon stronger units every once in a while. You have to kill your opponent’s chief while defending yours. The chief has a massive amount of health so don’t ever stop creating units. Crystal War gives you a variety of different of combating your enemies. Gather enough money to buy new units. Gather enough power and you can trigger huge attacks like a volley of arrows, spreading a disease, or even casting a giant black hole into the field! In the latest endless mode, you get special cards that can bring you more units, gold, or options. This is a vast game with tons to do. I was surprised how fun it was to actually replay stages multiple times in order to gain more gold. Completely dominating your opponent is, again, fun. Everything that Crystal War executes was executed extremely well. Nothing stands out as being flawed during my experience and checking out all the different background art made my day. Because of Crystal War’s very stylish art, deep and structured unit upgrading system, multiple user-powers, an endless mode, and being able to play the game in a completely different way via the Goblin story mode, this is a high production game app and GNC Interactive should be proud. I enjoyed this game immensely. I demand spinoffs!! Here is a video demo of the Crystal War app on the iPhone This 3rd Party App is available at the Apple iTunes AppStore.

Suomen Terästekniikka has a Mavatech Safety Shower product which they wish to sell to Chinese Markets. Before entering to new market, every company needs to take action to protect their IPR. Trademark is most important as more than 99% of all IPR violations are Trademark violations. Chinese government takes the violations seriously and protection is therefore effective. However, if company delays to do the registration, and some other company registers your product before you in China, the trademark legally belongs to the other company. The fact that you are the original owner, doesn’t help. That’s why you need to be proactive and protect your IPR before you introduce your product in China for the first time. Mavatech started the process by ROC/BlueCloud in the beginning or 2017. There were 4 categories included in Trademark and all four categories passed the first inspection. The whole process takes around a year at the moment. In the end of 2017, there were two other companies in two same categories on the same industry, whose logos and Trademarks had some similarities with Mavatechs. In two categories Trademark was done successfully, but two others didn’t pass the process. China IPR office gave 14 days time to defense the Trademarks in those categories. ROC/BlueClouds lawyer was confident that Trademarks were worth defending. In the end of 2018 also the two remaining categories passed. Now Mavatechs Trademark is fully protected.

As you can see from this, I think McCann will start instead of Moreno, not sure it will be too soon for him to start after he has been out of action for a bit, granted he did play in the friendly. Also, Arriola is currently suspended so I reckon Segura will be starting. Olsen seems to trust him more than Stieber. Not a stat, but key nonetheless, Bruce Arena is now in charge of New England Revolution. And as stated in my guest appearance on DCU_Soccer podcast, it’s like having a new car smell when having a new head coach. The players will want to impress, but DC need to be on them. If we look at this season, the Revs are not having a great season at all, incredibly leaky in defence, and not doing a lot going forward, this could be a high scoring game for DC, as long as they can cure their going forward problems. With Arriola out this may be more difficult, but this is a prime match to get the confidence back and flowing. This game usually has 3 goals or more at the Gillette Stadium, however New England are usually on top. Overall though DC are better in this fixture. In the same fixture last season, it finished 3-2 to the Revs, and the last time DC beat New England at their ground was April 14th 2012. I think we can win this 2-0. Hopefully all those travelling can come back happy. I don’t think we will have much of a problem getting a shut out, Hamid has been incredible this season, it’s just us going forward. I hope we can attack with pace, and that Griffin Yow get’s some game time if we need it. I think he can be the game changer. What do you think? Let me know on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram. You can watch this game in the UK on FreeSports from 12:35am

Edward Joseph Dent, generally known by his initials as E. J. Dent (16 July 1876, Ribston, Yorkshire – 22 August 1957, London) was a British writer on music. His closest friends were Lawrence Haward and J. B. Trend, but he began a close friendship with Clive Carey (1883-1968) in 1902 which continued until Edward Dent's death. Clive Carey was a 19-year-old organ scholar at Clare College. Edward Dent wrote him over four hundred letters during their friendship. Another friend was E. M. Forster who represented him as the character Philip Herriton in Where Angels Fear To Tread. Edward Dent also introduced Ronald Firbank to Rupert Brooke. Edward Dent’s father was John Dent Dent of Ribston Hall, Wetherby, Yorkshire, who had been a Conservative Member of Parliament. The family home was on a large estate between York and Harrogate. Dent was educated at Eton College where he studied music with C. H. Lloyd. He then went to King's College, Cambridge University, where his teachers were Charles Wood and C. V. Stanford. Dent was elected a Fellow of King's College Cambridge in 1902. He began lecturing on the history of music in 1902, and he also taught counterpoint, harmony, and composition. In 1918 Dent moved to London and became a music critic. In 1926 he returned to Cambridge University as Professor of Music, and he was also elected again as a Fellow of King's College. He was President of the Royal Musical Association from 1928 to 1935.( Collapse ) Francis Clive Savill Carey (known as Clive) was born at Sible Hedingham on 30 May 1883. He came from an artistically talented family, and was a chorister in the choir at King's College before attending Sherborne School. Edward Joseph Dent, generally known by his initials as E. J. Dent was a British writer on music. His closest friends were Lawrence Haward and J. B. Trend, but he began a close friendship with Clive Carey in 1902 which continued until Edward Dent's death. Edward Dent wrote him over four hundred letters during their friendship. They remained friends until Dent’s death in 1957, 55 years. (P: ©S. P. Andrew, Wellington/University of Adelaide Archives. Francis Clive Saville Carey, 1928 (©20) He came up to Clare College as an Organ Scholar in 1901, and combined his undergraduate work with the Grove Scholarship in Composition at the Royal College of Music in London. He became friends with Edward Dent, Alwyn Scholfield and Percy Lubbock during his student days, and was involved in the University Greek Plays organised by Walter Durnford and other student productions. Later Carey studied with Jean de Reszke in Paris and Nice. In 1911 Carey directed and sang as ‘Papageno’ in the Cambridge production of Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte when Edward J. Dent's English translation was first used. During the First World War, Carey served as a ward orderly in the Medical Corps in France, and various other non-combatant roles. Between 1920 and 1924 he was employed as a singer and director of operas at the Old Vic Opera Company, until in 1924, disappointed with his lack of apparent progress in English professional music, he accepted a teaching post at the Elder Conservatorium, Adelaide University. He sang in several of Dame Nellie Melba's farewell concerts in 1927, and left Australia to tour North America (where he sang folk songs) with a touring morris dance ensemble. He returned to London in 1928 and resumed his usual life of teaching at the Royal College of Music, lecturing and giving recitals on English Folk Song. In 1929 he married Doris. It should be noted that Adelaide was originally settled as a quasi utopian society and has always had a strong artistic spirit. It should further be noted that the great English folk song and dance collector, Cecil Sharp, also chose Adelaide and spent some of his early years working in that city. Sharpe arrived in Adelaide in November 1882 and early in 1883 obtained a position as a clerk in the Commercial Bank of South Australia. He read some law, and in April 1884 became associate to the chief justice, Sir Samuel James Way. He held this position until 1889 when he resigned and gave his whole time to music. He had become assistant organist at St Peter's cathedral soon after he arrived, and had been conductor of the government house choral society and the cathedral choral society. Later on he became conductor of the Adelaide Philharmonic, and in 1889 entered into partnership with I. G. Reimann as joint director of the Adelaide school of music. He was very successful as a lecturer but about the middle of 1891 the partnership was dissolved. The school was continued under Reimann, and in 1898 developed into the Elder conservatorium of music in connection with the university. Sharp had made many friends and an address with over 300 signatures asked him to continue his work at Adelaide, but he decided to return to England and arrived there in January 1892. Whether Sharp’s tenure influenced Carey is unknown but is a fascinating connection for the two folk song collectors.( Collapse ) Days of Love: Celebrating LGBT History One Story at a Time by Elisa Rolle Paperback: 760 pages Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 1 edition (July 1, 2014) Amazon: Days of Love: Celebrating LGBT History One Story at a Time Days of Love chronicles more than 700 LGBT couples throughout history, spanning 2000 years from Alexander the Great to the most recent winner of a Lambda Literary Award. Many of the contemporary couples share their stories on how they met and fell in love, as well as photos from when they married or of their families. Included are professional portraits by Robert Giard and Stathis Orphanos, paintings by John Singer Sargent and Giovanni Boldini, and photographs by Frances Benjamin Johnson, Arnold Genthe, and Carl Van Vechten among others. “It's wonderful. Laying it out chronologically is inspired, offering a solid GLBT history. I kept learning things. I love the decision to include couples broken by death. It makes clear how important love is, as well as showing what people have been through. The layout and photos look terrific.” Christopher Bram “I couldn’t resist clicking through every page. I never realized the scope of the book would cover centuries! I know that it will be hugely validating to young, newly-emerging LGBT kids and be reassured that they really can have a secure, respected place in the world as their futures unfold.” Howard Cruse “This international history-and-photo book, featuring 100s of detailed bios of some of the most forward-moving gay persons in history, is sure to be one of those bestsellers that gay folk will enjoy for years to come as reference and research that is filled with facts and fun.” Jack Fritscher This journal is friends only.

Score: A.S Roma 3 S.S Lazio 2FT (Lazio Win 4-3 on AGG) Stadio Olimpico, Rome Following successive wins in SERIE A against Palermo, Sassuolo and Empoli Roma would get ready for another passionate battle with arch Rivals Lazio In the second leg of the Coppa Itaila Semi Finals. Lazio having won the first leg as the home team 2-0. Roma would need two goals to advance to the final in hopes of bringing their first trophy to Rome since 2009. It would another instant classic In the Derby Del Capitale Roma would be looking for their second victory against them this season having won their first meeting in serie a back in December. It would turn into a fantastic derby between both Rome sides. Lazio would strike first with Savic to give them the 1-0 lead (3-0 AGG). Roma would respond with a Stephen El Shaarawy goal to make it 1-1 (1-2 AGG) right before half. It would be 1-1 after the first half in the second half Lazio would score again with a Ciro Immobile Goal to make it 2-1 (4-1AGG) killing any chance of a comeback for Roma. However Roma would continue to fight as Mouhamed Salah would score not long after to make it 2-2(2-4 AGG.) Time would go on Roma would brining in Totti for his possibly final derby and it worked as Roma would take the lead in the game when Mohamed Salah scored in the 90th minute to grab a late winner making it 3-2 (3-4AGG) But no little too late as Lazio Would advance to the final as they won it 4-3 on Aggregate but Roma has won two out of three fixtures against Lazio this season. However it seems like Spalletti will leave the club at the end of the season. After lots of news of speculation of transfers last week there wasn’t as much team news this week. Speculation and recruitment of Sevilla Director Monchi’s arrival to become Roma’s sporting director continues despite no conformation as of yet this move is still expected to go through. The Potential of this move intrigues Barcelona midfielder Ivan Raktic the former Sevilla man believes he could bring greatness to Roma who have long awaited a trophy. This is what the Barcelona man had to say this is what he told to Gazzetta dello Sport: “I expect him to be successful wherever he ends up. If he goes to AS Roma, they may win. To take him is like buying 10 new players, he would be very positive for the club.” Monchi has spoken highly of the Roma job opportunity this is what he had to say about the possibility of working for Roma. “Roma are the team that has talked to me the most and I like the proposal, they want to wait for me but there are other offers in France and England, although they are not so far along. I have listened to them and I told them how I work, but again Roma is a project I like.” He has said that he will make his decision regarding his future soon. With Spalletti’s likely departure Roma have revisited the possibility of bringing in Former Inter boss as a replacement the Italian currently lives in Rome and it has been reported that he met with Roma’s President James Pallotta this week. It would be a pretty good replacement if it happens he’s already managed in this league on several occasions and has a premier league title he has won with current Roma striker Edin Dzeko it could be an ideal replacement for Spalletti. Also the Agent of Stephen El Shaarawy has insisted that he is very happy in Roma and would like to stay for the long term. Even more speculation is occurring about Roma’s number keeper Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish international has stated that he is happy in Rome but will make his decision in June when his loan ends. Szczęsny leads Serie A with 13 clean sheets in his second loan spell with the Romans. Despite all that he is highly unlikely he will return to London if he doesn’t have a guaranteed starting place in the Arsenal team. I am kind of ok with it either way I’d prefer him to stay but if he’s doesn’t I’d still be happy with Allison. The last of the team news this week’s ends on a very thoughtful statement made by Raja Nainggolan in tribute to Roma Legend Francesco Totti. As the Belgium compared him to Swiss Tennis star Roger Federer who won his first Grand Slam of 2017 at the very distinguished age of 36. The Belgium International had this to say “Federer is exceptional. But we have Totti who still plays at 40 and for Roma; he’s just as valuable as Federer”. Very kind words from Nainggolan, Nainggolan has proven this season that he is one of the best midfielders in the world Nainggolan passed up the chance to play alongside Hazard for club and country recently, having been approached by the Blues last season, but he says he is reluctant to move to England. So that’s very good news as well given the importance he has to the club. Luciano Spalletti knowing he side needs at least two goals to progress. He decided to change the formation a more of an attacking offence. Roma would lineup using the 4-3-3; Allison would be the keeper as he has been Roma’s first choice throughout this competition. Roma going with four in the back for this one as they have mainly have been using three in the back. Emerson would take on the left-back position replacing Mario Rui, it’s been a little while since Emerson has played in defense but he is definitely capable. Antonio Rudiger would lineup on the opposite side as the right-back. Than finally in the middle as the pair of center-backs it would be Juan Jesus replacing Fazio who picked up a minor injury in the last game and joining him in the center would be Kosta Manolas to make up the defense. Than in the center midfield would be the trio of Leonardo Paredes in the center with Raja Nainggolan on the left and Kevin Strootman on the right. Up front Roma would go with three strikers. Roma’s Record breaker Edin Dzeko would be the central striker joining him on the side would be Stephen El Shaarawy replacing Perotti on the left wing and on the Right wing would be Mouhamed Salah. In other news Danielle De Rossi would watch the game from the stands as he would be out due to an injury he picked up while on international duty with Italy. It is A very strong Roma team very attacking style a football is what we should see out of this team Luciano Spalletti is spot on tactically I feel it made the right changes for this game. It would another addition of the Derby Della Capitale Chapter three of this famous fixture. Roma winning the first match back on December 4th in Serie A winning it on that occasion 2-0. Lazio would win the second battle about a month ago in the first leg of this Semi Final fixture 2-0 taking their two goal advantage into this game. There has been a fair amount of controversy in both matches in their first meeting Lazio’s Lulic was suspended 20 days for making some racist comments about Roma defender Antonio Rudiger this is what was said “Rudiger was provoking us even before the game. Two years ago he was selling socks and belts in Stuttgart, now he acts like he’s a phenomenon. It’s not his fault really, but the fault of those who are around him. They haven’t taught him good manners. “When Lulic was pressed to rethink his comment and apologize, he replied: “I said what I think.” It could have been in response to Rudiger saying he didn’t know anything about their team basically implying he didn’t know who they are. Raja Nainggolan also have strong words about his dislike for Lazio. The Actions of all the players in the media instigated a very violent game on the pitch where we saw 14 bookings over the 90 minutes. Also in that first match we saw a Lazio player from the bench shove Kevin Strootman after celebrating the opening goal. There was also a bit of controversy in Roma’s loss to Lazio in their first leg match with Rudiger again being the center of commotion. Throughout the duration of the match the Lazio fans abused Rudiger for most of the match; as they sang racist songs directed at him as well as making monkey noise and waved bananas. It got so bad that they were pleaded to stop by the referee’s and the announcers. For those of you that don’t understand this isn’t just a game this fixture is everything the hatred between these teams is unlikely any rivalry in sports. The meaning of the derby means more in Rome than perhaps any other city or derby in the world which is what makes this derby so special. It is politically driven as well as location based Roma and Lazio fans often argue about who is the real fans of Rome the supremacy in the city matters above all else. Historically throughout time Roma and Lazio were winning very few Scudetto’s the meaning of the season was the derby it wasn’t about we are the champions of Italy it is about we finished higher than them it was the only reason to be proud. Despite Lazio’s 2-0 lead gained in the first leg on current form Roma are in much better position than their crosstown rivals. In the table Roma currently hold the second position with 68 points with a 4 point lead in front of Napoli and trailing Juventus at the top of the table by six points. Roma although unlikely have a small chance at the title Roma will be in the champion’s league next season but you can’t say that about Lazio. Lazio don’t have the same luck although they have much improved since last year and they have proven to be a quality side but they have out of the title race and being four points behind Napoli champions league is very unlikely. They currently sit in 4th with 60 points with Inter and Atalanta not far behind. Roma are the better team and most likely with win the game the questions becomes it if they will in it by enough goals as far as that goes I’m not so sure. Roma have won their last 4 games in a row as they have performed very well this year with the team they have Dzeko has without a doubt been their big star as he has been World Class this season. The Bosnian Striker broke Totti’s record for goals in a season over the weekend as he banged in his 32nd and 33rd goals of the season. Roma is in fantastic position but Lazio aren’t slouches either as they have won 3 out 4. This match as all the ingredients for a derby classic the match may have some big ramifications regarding Roma manager Luciano Spalletti who has he had previously stated that if Roma don’t win any trophies this season that he would leave the club so it almost turns into a must win. The result of this game will come down to the attack of both these teams. Roma’s attack is definitely excels Lazio’s options with Dzeko, Salah and El Shaarawy. However Lazio have three high quality players with Ciro Immobile a player that has been unbelievable this season, they also have Felipe Anderson and Sergej Milinković-Savić a very strong attack in their own right. Roma has the better team and a slightly better attack and defense but Lazio isn’t far behind in the same areas this will come down to whether Roma can get the amount of Goals necessary. Both Roman sides would arrive at their shared home the Stadio Olimpico to prepare for their match with a lot a stake with the winner heading to the Coppa Itaila final to play the winner of Juventus and Napoli. It was announced that barriers at the Olimpico stadium of Rome was lifted for the game. Finally the day has arrived after waiting for this game for since the first leg of semifinals after all the preparation for this famous fixture it was time as The Derby Della Capitale would kick off in Rome. Roma knowing that they would need two goals to advance to the final roma would fire from all cylinders as they would have a great chance in the opening three minutes. Edin Dzeko would give Roma a great chance as he would take a shot from very close in the shot was close but just missed. A great opening chance but not to be undone Lazio wasn’t just going to sit back Ciro Immobile would give Lazio a chance to put away the game possibly killing the roma comeback attempt. He would get so close as he took a shot from the left side kind at an angle; the shot was very well taken it was so close as the shot just missed by inches. That was one of the only chances Lazio got early as Roma were well in control from the very beginning. About 10 minutes later Roma would together a few high quality chances. El Shaarawy as the catalyst send a cross into the center of the box to find big man Edin Dzeko; the striker would get his head to it as he would try to head it home but it miss just to the left. Not long after it would be Stephan El Shaarawy’s turn to take a shot after receiving a pass from Dzeko creating somewhat of a break away the Italian would take it well as he would take the shot but missed a little to the left taking a deflection. It’s one he should have probably put away but it still was a great scoring chance. Off the deflection Edin Dzeko had another chance as he would head it from the middle of the box but it would be saved. It looked like everything was going Roma’s way but as we well know it only takes one chance to score. Ciro Immobile took a shot from the middle of the box but Allison would make the save however Roma would be hit with some misfortune as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic would put it into the bottom corner to give Lazio the 1-0 lead. This gives them a 3-0 lead on AGG. It looked all but over for Roma They would need a goal before the half to even realistically give them a chance. Nothing important happened for several minutes however there however was a bit of scuffle between Edin Dzeko and Wallace. During an attempted scoring chance for Roma; Wallace would fall over and Dzeko went over to help him up. When Dzeko approached him he stepped in between his legs and the grass and offered his hand. Instead of grabbing his hand Wallace pretended that Dzeko hurt him displaying a disgraceful act of play acting Dzeko was given an unfair yellow card for doing nothing wrong. However Roma’s moment came In the 43rd minute near Lazio’s danger area Rudiger would send in a cross from the wing into the box it would be improperly cleared by the Lazio defense as he would be tapped right to El Shaarawy; and the Italian international would slot it into the bottom corner to equalize 1-1 to give Roma some hope. Roma would still in three goals in the second half due to the fact Lazio were the away team in this game. It’s been a less than stellar season for Stephen El Shaarawy it would be his 4th goal this season he wouldn’t celebrate to much as he knew there was still work to be down. A few minutes later the referee would blew his whistle signaling the end of the first half with the score 1-1 although Lazio led 3-1 on AGG as they started their fight against time. Stephen El Shaarawy Scores to End the Half to Give Roma Hope So far in the game it has been very much in Roma’s favor as they were easily the better team in the first half as they were very unlucky to have given up a goal. They played well but had they put away their chances Roma could have had a multiple goal lead. Both teams would make one sub each Roma would bring in Bruno Peres to replace Juan Jesus at center-back. Than for Lazio Wesley Hoedt would replace Stefan de Vrij because of an injury he picked up near the end of the first half. Roma’s attacking formation was working but it would take a massive second half to go through needing three goals. Play would finally resume in the second half as Lazio would get some momentum back as they continually disrupt the Roma attack as their defense would get in the way of several roma shots. Blocking shots from Dzeko, Emerson and Salah Lazio were doing a fantastic job of take control of the game as Roma’s frustration lead to some Lazio scoring chances. Senad Lulic would send a cross into Sergej Milinkovic-Savic the midfielder would take shot on goal near the corner of the box but he would miss to the right. They would just be getting warmed up as it Lazio were staying the course Ciro Immobile would take a well hit shot from the center of the box but once again would miss as his shot went wide. A minute later Ciro Immobile would take yet another crack on goal as he would hit a powerful shot from the left of the box but in the end it would be a easy Routine save for Allison. A minute later Roma would be hit with even more disappointment as Lazio put the nail in the coffin. It would be Ciro at the end of it once again in the 56th minute Sergej Milinkovic-Savic send a well-placed through ball into Ciro Immobile and the Italian would be all alone in a one on one break and he would slot in into the bottom corner to make it 2-1. Lazio would now lead 4-1 on Aggregate meaning it would be pretty much over for Roma now needing four goals. Lazio would make a Substitution Keita replacing Felipe Anderson. After the goal Raja Nainggolan decided the hell with this and decided to show that Roma still had some fight. After Recving the ball from Dzeko Raja Nainggolan would try to go deep hitting it from distance but he misfired to the left. Lazio was trying to push on as Dusan Basta tried from distance but he would miss. Lazio would have yet another chance with Keita shooting from deep but once again poor touch from Lazio as it would coast over the net. Ciro Immobile would also try from deep and much like there previous chances well off target. I think they were just playing stupid giving the fact they had the lead it looked that they were just trying to waste time; when three players all take bad shots in a row it clearly becomes a tactic rather just a bad shot. Rona despite having their back against the wall Roma would put themselves in a good position to score after Leonardo Paredes shot was blocked Emerson and El Shaarawy took advantage as Roma continued to fight with their back against the wall. Emerson would head the ball to Stephen El Shaarawy; the Italian took a shot from a good position but it was saved by the keeper. El Shaarawy very frustrated to say the least. After continuous frustration the tide would turn as they would get one back. In the 66th minute shortly after the previous shot Kevin Strootman send in a deep cross from the halfway line; Emerson would get his head to it and send a pass into El Shaarawy in the box. El Shaarawy would than beat his man taking a near perfect shot from the left side hitting the inside of the post however it bounced to Salah and the Egyptian international hit it in the back of the open net to equalize as well as getting a goal back. Mohamed Salah Scores to try to Bring Roma Back There would be no celebration knowing Roma still needed three goals it would be Salah’s 9th goal of the season on a side note he would have close to 20 if it wasn’t for the African Cup. Not long after Roma’s goal Leonardo Paredes nearly added another world class finish stroking in from 35 yards out nearly scoring but he just missed. Roma and Lazio both went to their bench; Roma would bring in Diego Perotti in for Stephen El Shaarawy who had a stellar game. Lazio. Would bring in Alessandro Murgia for Lucas Biglia. The game than flipped back into Roma’s advantage they were very much on the front foot. Roma just didn’t back down even though it was likely over they kept battling. Kevin Strootman would continue Roma’s assault on the Lazio he would take a well time shot from outside the box but it would be saved in to bottom corner. After scoring change by Emerson went wide Roma would make their final sub of the match as Francesco Totti would come in for Leandro Paredes in what could be his 43rd and final derby. His presence made an impact right away as Mohamed Salah put together another scoring chance as he would fire a shot from the center of the box but it would be saved by the keeper. They were losing a battle with time but it was still possible to win the game however going to the final wasn’t possible. Raja Nainggolan smashed a shot in the top right corner but was saved; attack after attack it looked like they weren’t getting another one but Mohamed Salah had other ideas as they would continue to fight. Raja Nainggolan would hit a power shot that was saved but Salah would jump on the rebound putting away one of the easiest goals he will score all season giving Roma the 3-2 lead. It was still over but Roma still had some fight. It would be Salah’s 10th goal of the season. The fight wasn’t quite over as Dzeko gave Roma a few more chances before the end but Roma were too little too late as they would earn the win but it would be Lazio advancing to the final winning 4-3 on Aggregate. Mouhamed Salah scores a 90th minute winner as he did everything he could to take Roma through despite the loss It would have been such a perfect derby if this was a league game it had everything intensity quality play and lots of goals. Roma came back twice to bag a winner in the 90th minute Its disappointing Roma were unable to go through to the Final but to be fair they still beat Lazio and now have won 2 out three meetings against each other as well as holding a much high position in the table. The man of the match goes too Mouhamed Salah as he played a brilliant match scoring two goals as he did everything he could to help roma advance has proven time and again that he is one of the best players in this league. Also this was Roma’s 5th win in a row as they continue to play at a high level as they are in fantastic form at the moment. It is still a very disappointing result but on wards and upwards it’s time to look at the positives and get another win this weekend. Roma travel to Bolonga this weekend to take them on for the second time this season trying to make it 2 win out of two against them on Sunday. Lazio head to the final Juventus will be joining them there after they went through in their semifinal despite Napoli’s 3-2 win. Juventus are highly unlikely to lose the final as Lazio don’t have the necessary weapons to really stop the much powerful Juventus. Roma’s inability to win silverware this year was very disappointing but they will come back next season stronger than ever. However Luciano Spalletti departure is now become imminent but who will replace this brilliant tactician. MAN OF THE MATCH: Mohamed Salah NEXT MATCH: @ Bolonga Sunday, March 9th 2017

With Matt Cain on the DL, the San Francisco Giants made a big move on the morning of July 26 by acquiring Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Jake Peavy. The Giants gave up minor’s Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree, both pitchers. Peavy has started the season terribly at 1-9, with a 4.72 ERA, in 124 innings. With Yusmeiro Petit in the rotation, the move was much needed. Peavy also returns to the NL, where he pitched for 8 seasons with the Padres. The Red Sox made the right move. They are definitely selling this year. Jon Lester could be on the move, along with Will Middlebrooks. With the Giants in the thick of a division battle, the trade helps certifies their rotation for the playoffs. The other plus in the trade is Peavy is a free agent next year, meaning the Giants won’t own him any money after this season. Peavy was traded last year from the White Sox to the Red Sox, in a three team deal that included the Tigers. It’s to bad that a former Cy Young winner has had such a bum season, but hopefully the change of scenery, which includes winning (at least this year) will help Peavy recover. The Giants also could be buying some more, with needs at 2B and LF. Asdrubal Cabrera, the Indians SS, could be a target for the Giants.

Up until 2008, prosecutions under Article 301 were a regular event in Turkey. A string of individuals, including activists, politicians, and artists were targeted under a law which made “denigrating Turkishness” a criminal act. Among those targeted for prosecution were journalists like Hrant Dink, publishers like Ragip Zarakolu, and writers like Elif Shafak and Orhan Pamuk. Eventually, Turkish authorities, realizing that the cases were hurting Turkey’s international standing, reformed Article 301 to limit the number of cases that were prosecuted. These reforms were enough to push 301 from the front pages of international news organizations, but they provide insufficient protection for freedom of expression in Turkey. Prosecutions continue. As Turkish authorities prepare for a new round of judicial reform, the time is ripe to, at long last, to repeal this antiquated and repressive law. As Amnesty’s latest report on freedom of expression highlights, Article 301 of the Turkish Penal has long been one of the most problematic articles as far as freedom of expression is concerned. Up until 2008, the article criminalized “denigrating Turkishness”. Reforms replaced “denigrating Turkishness” with “denigration of “the Turkish nation, the state of the Republic of Turkey, the Turkish Parliament (TBMM), the government of the Republic of Turkey and the legal institutions of the state” and added the additional requirement of the authorisation of the Minister of Justice before prosecutors could initiate proceedings. Neither of these ostensible safeguards has been sufficient for the ECtHR to find the article compatible with the right to the freedom of expression as protected in the European Convention on Human Rights. 301 cases, like that targeting journalist Temel Demirer, have continued despite the lack of press coverage. As the Amnesty report makes clear, “Article 301 continues to constitute a direct and impermissible limitation to the right to freedom of expression despite some cosmetic reforms…[The only conclusion compatible with Turkey’s international obligations… [is] its repeal.” But we need your help to make this happen. Get involved and change is possible! Howard Eissenstat, St. Lawrence University

‘Four Claws’ is the first story in Insignia: Asian Fantasy Stories. ‘Four Claws’ by Allison Thai Yifei had never left the palace before. Had no good reason to do so, until now. And she hadn’t the slightest clue where she was headed. All she knew was that she had to get as far away from home as she could. Stopping, or turning back would kill her. Yifei flew past the outermost village to reach the mountain range, and only then did she slow down. Blood still dripped from her wounds, and she tried her hardest not to look down at them. Pangs of hunger stopped her from going any farther. She needed something to eat. Despite frantic scanning, she saw nothing edible in sight. Only rocks and dirt. Yifei closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. She let it out in dismay. Even her dragon-enhanced sense of smell could not do much if she had no training at all. Something flitted overhead, catching her eye. Dark wings, still and outstretched, made wide, slow, sweeping rounds high in the air. Vultures. If vultures were around, that meant there had to be food nearby. Yifei’s ears perked, and she glided closer to the site. Upon further inspection, she realized that the vultures circled over a body. A human body. Her mouth watered, and the very act made her recoil with disgust. Was she really that hungry? Yifei squeezed her eyes shut. She could not stoop so low as to eat a human. She was an imperial dragon, a princess of the ruling Quan family— No, not anymore. The title was stripped from her, just as the toes on her feet were ripped off. Clinging to dignity was just an old habit. A habit she had to throw away if she wanted to survive. | Smashwords | B & N | kobo |

Almost a year ago I shared my designs for a 3D printed speaker enclosure which could be built up in sections. This allowed Zimo speakers to be fitted in even more places. You can read about it here. Since then I haven’t had the need for them but just recently I did; and in this week’s post I will share it with you. Rowa, and later MRC, used to make some wonderful large steam locomotives for N Scale, in particular the 2-8-8-2 Y6b. When Rivarossi and Con-Cor took over the production they added the 2-8-8-0 EL5 to the lineup. The EL5 came with a large Vanderbilt tender and it’s one of these I recently added a sound decoder too. As the shell of this locomotive is full of motor and metal chassis the tender is the obvious place for the decoder and speaker to go. However, the Con-Cor Vanderbilt tender is a one-piece molding and the body doesn’t separate from the chassis. To gain access to the inside the back plate has to be removed. This isthe section between the tender and the locomotive cab just under the coal load. It’s glued in place but with a gentle bit of pressure it will pop off. The two metal weights inside the tender will now slide out, giving you full access to the inside. For this DCC install I am using a Digitrax sound decoder with a Zimo speaker, a LS8x12. This speaker gives much better sound than the standard speaker the decoder comes with. As you can see the speaker comes with a sound box. This is an injection-molded box with a recessed lip around the top which the speaker fits into. However the box is fairly deep. My intention is to fix the decoder and speaker to the upper metal weight and slide it all into the tender, but the speaker will not pass under the coal load. To solve this I’ve used two of my 3D printed speaker enclosure sections to form a smaller speaker box. Three sections will make the enclosure the same height as the original. The two parts have been glued together with a spot of superglue. Before fixing to the metal weight I did a test to see if it fitted. The back of the tender is slightly higher than the space under the coal load so although the speaker just scrapes through it will be just fine once in the right place. I again used superglue to fix the sections to the weight. The speaker has a sticky foam fitting which holds it into the new enclosure. The decoder was also fixed to the weight as well as the capacitor, you can see it between the speaker and decoder. This whole assembly then slides into the tender and is prevented from moving by the grooves which hold the weight in place. The last thing to do is connect up the wires. For this particular locomotive I cut off the plug and hard-wired it in. Only four wires need to go to the locomotive, so it made sense. Once the decoder was tested and renumbered the locomotive was ready for service. Well, almost ready for service. The decoder was recycled from another locomotive and, although the sounds work perfectly, they are the sounds for an Alco PA diesel! This can easily be corrected by uploading some new sounds using Digitrax’s SoundLoader software which is something I will show you how to do in a later post. For now the speaker enclosure sections should be available by next week and I will share those with you and maybe a video of the EL5 working a train in all its glory.

This analysis discusses a five-step approach to understanding and addressing the new challenges that preceded, and now are intensified by, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic events of this year. The way that we react to them will be crucial to the nation’s transportation capabilities in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental responses to it have reduced overall travel activity and shifted demand to different locations and modes of travel. Demand has shifted away from any form of concentration of passengers in vehicles and terminals, or even at potential destinations of travel. There has been a major shift to relying on household vehicles for any travel demand since there is less personal exposure to others. - Call a moratorium on all expansion-based transportation investments—for the obvious reasons. While being willing to accept some absolutely clear and verifiable capacity needs, we must place a hold on transportation expansion investments, at least until the dust settles. The possible exceptions foreseen could be expansions that have already begun and need to be finished, such as bridge expansions, truck access to ports, storm responses, or natural disasters. Even before the pandemic and recession—back in the fall of 2019—it was clear to transportation analysts that we were in the most difficult period in our professional lifetimes in which to forecast demand. The central issues were linked to technological and demographic changes. The focal technological questions were examining the speed of arrival and the ultimate characteristics of autonomous vehicles (AV). Forecasts for the arrival of full-scale AV were anywhere from five to 50 years, and expectations were for a surge in travel volume or a decline. Who would own the vehicles: Hertz, Uber, General Motors, individuals, or governments? The new tech communication tools disrupted the taxi world, transit, and other traditional options. There were also other questions. Demographically, the central challenge was where would the future skilled workforce come from? Would the retirement-age Baby Boomers work longer? Would the country import workers? Would we hope for the best? Shifting from child-centered travel households to an elder-care focus was on the horizon. Instead of you taking your kids to the dentist, they’d be taking you. Travel growth that had been close to zero or negative during the 2007-2009 recession experienced a brief recovery but dwindled by 2018. Highway miles of travel grew by a meager 0.8% in 2019. Growth rates for the upcoming decade (2020-2030) were forecast at 1% a year. The only real growth sector was expected to be aviation. Then COVID-19 hit and all of those very limited forecasts became almost foolishly optimistic. Travel by all modes decreased dramatically through the first half of 2020 and prospects for recovery and growth were not much more than conjecture. Modes that required certain levels of demand to justify services—rail, air, charter buses, cruise ships—sharply curtailed capacity. At present, it is impossible to answer “when will we be back to the travel levels of 2019?” Without falling into talk of a “new normal,” at a minimum we can see uncertainty for the next several years. At the same time, fuel taxes, sales taxes, and general revenues that fund federal state and local transportation needs have shown massive declines. With the present dominated by uncertainty in all aspects of travel demand, any proposals for capacity increases have zero credibility. Any modal option predicated on responding to congestion must be suspect. Thus, a hiatus, or maybe a moratorium, on building new facilities is the appropriate policy response. Auto travel, requiring no more than one person to justify a trip, has shown greater recovery. - Focus on improving the condition of the existing system—not just restoring, but modernizing. At this time, the main focus could be the reconstruction of the Interstate Highway System, improving operations to assure safety and environmental enhancements, and rehabilitating— for safety purposes—existing rail transit systems. In this environment, calls for transportation infrastructure spending need wary—even scrupulous—examination. Even in areas seeing substantial population growth, any investments based on forecasted travel growth must be suspect. Many projects require not just years but decades to develop, and proponents bear the burden of providing plausible situations for future dates that can justify the investment. In this period, the wise public policy course is to recognize the massive backlog of transportation investment we already have. Bringing our transportation systems up to appropriate standards and investing in them should be the starting point for programs. The National Highway System needs on the order of a trillion dollars in investments to restore and modernize the system. Looking at the physical condition of the Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago transit systems, restoration investment is a matter of safety as well as efficiency. The more modern transit systems developed in our time—Washington, D.C., and San Francisco—have already reached the level of massive needs for rehabilitation. All in all, the major transit systems could similarly identify ”trillion” as the basic investment level. Certainly, no transit system—given six years of declining ridership and now the very serious health concerns of rail and bus riders—should be expanding while its massive rehabilitation needs are unmet. A national moratorium on the expansion of services along with efforts to rebuild, renovate and modernize should be the basic national infrastructure theme. - Assess ways to determine the role and prospective impacts of Work at Home trends—which already exceeded transit in share in 2017. In addition to the above challenges, we have also seen a new world emerging regarding working at home. Working at Home (WAH), has been the fastest-growing “mode” of travel to work in America since 1970, growing at twice the rate of worker growth. In 2017, more than 5% of “commuters” worked at home, surpassing the percentage of people across the country that used mass transit. Working at home now has the third-highest share of work travel, trailing only car-pooling at 9%, and driving alone at more than 76%. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic coincided with the ongoing trend of a massive increase in workers shifting to working at home. Many of those workers, engaged in this forced experiment, have found working at home an acceptable or even attractive option, providing both time and cost savings. Perhaps more significantly, employers are finding it to be an effective tool with limited near-term losses in productivity and prospective cost savings in office size and location. The evolution of working at home in the longer term will depend on current unknowns, such as which activities can be justified in terms of sustained productivity over time, and how team-oriented activities and the acculturation of new employees can be structured. Heretofore, the great majority of those working at home were typically individuals conducting personal service businesses, whether incorporated or not. Instead of writing the next great American novel, they were creating the next great American software program. Those working in traditional activities that are not always computer-based, such as childcare, also represented a significant share of “employees” working at home. The immense power of today’s home-based tools—smartphones, computers, printers, scanners, and the internet— empowered many small businesses. However, since 2010, and certainly now in the COVID-19 environment, large private corporations have been the major growth source. It is unrealistic for everyone who is working at home to continue after the pandemic eases, but there is a new tolerance—even acceptance for it—among employees and management. Working at home doesn’t generate greenhouse gases, consumes far fewer resources, and does not require significant public investments in infrastructure. Lower greenhouse gas emissions, decreased traffic congestion, and lower financial costs—what’s not to like? The entire workforce structure has been moving towards a more flexible environment in this century, accommodating the needs of the hard-to-attract skilled workforce and recognizing the increasing influence of working women, who are now close to half of the workforce. At the very least, we can expect an environment where a large segment of the workforce operates on a split workweek at home and a meeting place—perhaps two or three days on each side. Recognizing that roughly two-thirds of workers live in a household with other workers, this opens many opportunities for shifting residence locations that are focused more on access to other things people value rather than job access. In the past this has permitted people to optimize their housing or other non-work-related preferences, resulting in moving farther from the occasional workplace. In many cases, our massive communications connections will continue to increasingly permit the work-from-anywhere workforce to locate wherever they find it attractive—a beach, a forest, a mountaintop. - Focus further on shifting transportation funding to be responsive to the accessibility needs of lower-income populations. In many cases, that means buses, vans, and jitneys. Anything on rails would be exceptional. The skilled workforce will continue to be in demand wherever they choose to locate. Often their only work needs will be the internet, a highway, and maybe a large commercial airport. Most of their activities are not resource-based. Many of the key work-related transportation questions will concern the less skilled, who typically need access to physical workplaces. These can be resource-based, involving minerals, farms, rivers, and ports in rural areas. More typically they can be floorspace-based, requiring commuting trips to various structures such as factories, warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, and construction sites to provide services. In some cases, these are in the center of the metro area, but more frequently they are located in suburban work locations. Serving these businesses’ needs will require a far more flexible structure of public and private transportation services. One of the great unrecognized advances in American transportation that benefits this population has been the increased longevity of the vehicle fleet, now at an average age of more than 10 years. Very serviceable, low-cost used vehicles are a major transportation benefit to lower-income workers. Both Hispanic and African American workers have made substantial gains in auto ownership, expanding their access to a broader reach of job opportunities. Accessibility research in our major metro areas shows that in 30 minutes of travel, automobiles can reach approximately 30 times the number of jobs that can be reached by mass transit. Even among the best transit systems, such as Washington, D.C., cars can reach 90% of all the jobs in the region in 60 minutes, whereas transit can reach fewer than 11%. - Emphasize a strong focus on private sector solutions to respond to needs in this transportation world—utilizing the disruptive technologies that can serve users’ needs rapidly. Rural connectivity will be a major concern. As jobs move farther into the suburbs, they become more accessible to rural workers, However, with the exception of resource-based employment, developing self-sustaining economic centers in rural areas has been very challenging. The tourism connection and the more recent tendency of retirees to locate near amenities like national parks will prove to be a major potential resource. One of the “resource-based” industries in rural areas will likely be providing services to newcomers to the area, as retirees seek services, health care, and attractive lifestyle amenities. The almost-standard response over the years to these sorts of challenges has been to generate ideas for fleets of carpools, vanpools, and small buses. Frequently, this really is the answer, but it has suffered due to public constraints. To fully succeed, it will require eliminating or reducing the regulation of private vehicles that “compete” with transit. This may require action by governments to assist prospective operators by restructuring the many agencies that operate their many separate programs to facilitate new private initiatives. All of the necessary responses seem to suggest small, focused entrepreneurial efforts rather than massive public programs. Private-sector roles in both highways and transit represent the real potential here. If the private sector, as part of a public-private partnership (P3), saw opportunities to invest in toll facilities and van-style services where they were willing to risk their money and become the great experimenters in new services, many “disruptive” new Uber- and Lyft-like experiments could emerge. Establishing a new program, or shifting public-private partnership programs to serve the capital needs of van- and bus-based start-ups along with traditional reconstruction needs could be effective. The bus or vanpool approach has taken many forms: - Private firms have developed their own bus fleets to deliver their employees. Microsoft has the third-largest fleet of buses in Seattle; - Some companies have helped employees to operate a vehicle, owned by the employee or provided by the firm that can serve as a vanpool for groups of employees, given preferential parking, etc; - The intercity bus industry has developed an important off-shoot of charter buses that deliver people to major job centers; - In some cases, religious institutions have developed van systems to serve their members in daycare and other services; and - Entrepreneurial opportunities, functioning like airport vans as something of a model, could emerge to serve large centers. It might be a great time to experiment with the many parked airport and hotel shuttles. These are areas in which public, private, institutional, and market-based approaches can all play far greater roles than they have succeeded in doing so far. One reality is to establish how far they have succeeded and in what roles. It would not be surprising that the airport auto rental bus fleets and the airport-to-hotel fleets have a market role comparable in scale to public transit in many areas, which a Reason Foundation policy study pointed out more than two decades ago. The lack of information on the functions the various systems perform obscures their potential to expand their services. We do not know how many fleets of vans/buses/vehicles there are and what they accomplish, how many passengers they carry, how far they travel, and at what cost. The new Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS) being re-established by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at the Census Bureau has the potential to address this issue. The transportation statistical system has a unique universe to sample to gain this information: the vehicle registration files of the states. The VIUS originally addressed only trucks and is now being redesigned to expand observations to further understand the vehicle fleets that serve the nation. An important place to start an inventory would be in the federal aid programs that support local agencies assisting the elderly and disadvantaged. There are multiple programs, within the U.S. Department of Transportation and other agencies, among them the Section 5310 paratransit programs and Section 5311 rural and small city assistance programs under the Federal Transit Administration. These programs have been criticized as over-organized and over-scheduled, requiring previous day reservations and long wait times rather than their modern private counterparts serving on-demand travel. They can be modernized and expanded to reach low-income workers. The new concepts of micro-mobility and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) are potentially helpful to van-based systems in the sense that more real-time information and rapid real-time responses could energize a new approach to transportation services. It would be delightful to believe that our transportation systems and public policies are up to these very serious challenges and from it more effective systems can emerge.

And there I found myself, in the clinic office waiting to hear my name called. Doctors and waiting. Two things that I know are a necessity in life, yet the same things that do not like. First, Some History I have never liked going to doctor because, let’s just face it, I’m fat. I’m not talking those last five stubborn pounds that just won’t leave even with Hot Yoga or P7600x or whatever, but actually what the PC police call obese. And I have always been fat. From a child in the late Seventies and Eighties when we were weren’t sure what was healthy and what wasn’t. Should we eat three meals a day or snack? Is bacon bad for us? What are all these preservatives in our food? It was a tumultuous time to be a child. I know that I established terrible habits, but my Achilles heal was always that I didn’t seem to be active enough. Even in my slimmest time, in high school, where I was extremely active with after school activities and church league sports, I steadily increased weight from around 150 in 9th grade to probably 200+ my senior year. And then from there college, even though I enjoyed biking, walking, occasional racquetball, softball, etc. I was up to over 250 and then on and on until I broke that terrible 300 mark sometime after the turn of the century. And I have never seen below that line in how long, I don’t know. I used to joke that with each of my wife’s pregnancies, I gained more weight than her. For a stretch there I was doing a majority of manual, heavy, labor, and still only dropped about 30 pounds (not a lot when you are talking less than 10% of your body weight). Now, for you healthy people, part of this blog is to give you a viewpoint into my world. Some might see it as excuses – I cannot help that. Some might see it as a “cry for help”; I can’t help that perception either. All I can say is that isn’t my intention. I have “tried” most of the diet changes – Atkins, low calories, the “7 fuelings” variants, etc. I have also started several exercise regimens just to have something happen that kills the momentum. Some of these lifestyle changes have lasted a while – up to six months or so, where I have lost a clothing size, but nothing that is substantial. So, we have fallen back to just trying to eat as clean and local as we can – locally raised fruits and vegetables (oftentimes in the summer as local as our backyard), locally sourced lean meats, very limited processed foods, organic dairy, minimal ingredient meals, no or very occasional carbonated beverages, etc. And then we have tried to just be active. I won a Fitbit Charge earlier in the year and it has helped me try to stay, at least, conscious of my activity. I love to work outside, to garden, to just work in the yard. I don’t use elevators. Those kinds of things that some people will say, “good for you,” and others will say, “that’s the losers way of exercising.” Factor in three kids in school and a two-hour commute one way each day, and there is barely enough time to spend with the kiddos and wife, much less “hit the gym” – 30 minutes away – for 90 minutes. Factor this in with my northern European roots and what you have is a fairly healthy but fat guy. Just so you know, I have taken advantage of the wellness programs at work with the yearly physicals, etc. so I am very aware of my current health. I have good cholesterol numbers (although my HDL’s could be a bit higher), blood glucose is well within limits, blood pressure is good (has been known to spike occasionally), and I do not have any diseases or ailments. Josh vs. the Doctor Nurse Practitioner, Part 1 Anyway, back to the original story. I was finally called back from the waiting room and immediately faced my nemesis – the digital scale. This wasn’t just any scale, but the kind with big numbers at eye level that flashes your weight for the whole staff to see. I was just waiting for Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park to hop up from a cafe table and say, “Fat Boy! Fat Boy! We’ve got a Fat Boy here!” But a crack of the joke later and I was on my way to sit on the butcher paper. After politely telling the nurse taking my vitals that she was sweet to think the normal blood pressure cuff would work, I got to have the first “I know I’m fat, but you don’t have to assume” talk. This happened when I was watching the nurse slowly descend through the “high” numbers twice before re-inflating the cuff again. I politely let her know that my blood pressure is generally between 100/70 and 115/80 and so she would have to go a bit lower before trying to cut the circulation off in my arm again. After that it was just a few basic questions and review of my vitals and now I could finally see the doctor for what I came in for. . . or so I thought. This visit I would see the NP (nurse practitioner). She was a soft-spoken, older black woman (or African-American, or person of color – take your pick), who came over to help backfill from a similar clinic in Alabama. After she introduced herself, her first words were, “so what are you in for today.” I kindly explained my symptoms and she said that she would like to get a full medical history from me. As she walked through all of the questions about my past diagnoses and my family history to the 10th generation, I picked up a few interesting tidbits: - She wasn’t asking me questions the whole time, but rather would throw a statement in that I would have to dispute. For example, she said, “so you have limited activity each week” and I would have to explain my activity level. - She would ask leading questions followed by, “are you sure?” such as, “do you find it difficult to stay away from fast foods?” This question and answer game went on for about 15-20 minutes before she asked about my symptoms. Once again, I explained what was going on and how this felt different from the past. She listened briefly asked a few more questions about my symptoms and the told me that I had nothing to worry about. After a brief outline of what over the counter medications I should take, she stated that was extremely concerned about my weight. She started a lecture about how I should eat fruits and vegetables and stay away from high cholesterol foods such as “fast food burgers and sodas” every day. She told me my [false] BMI (Medical News Today – “a number of studies have demonstrated that some obese individuals have lower cardiovascular risk and an improved metabolic profile, while a subset of “normal-BMI” people are metabolically unhealthy and have increased mortality risk.”) and then jumped into how I needed to be active. For the next 5 minutes she continued to look over her reading glasses, like a middle school librarian, and schooled me in whole grains, low-fat, no deep-fried, food choices that I should make as well as my obvious need to change my sedentary ways. I, being a polite person, thanked her and started to stand up. She then asked if I would like any patient education on weight loss, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. I thanked her, but stated I thought I had been given enough education over the past hour. It might have been the lack of sleep from the previous night that broke down just that part of the brain-to-mouth filter that I reserve, and I truly meant no disrespect, but the harm was done. Another round of “are you sure” questions came from her obviously quivering lips and again, I thanked her and told her I remembered which medications to purchase from the pharmacy out front. Leaving with my diagnosis of “common cold” in one hand, I wandered through the pharmacy until I found the Cold and Flu section only to realize she had suggested a decongestant for people with High Blood Pressure, which I have never been diagnosed with – even at that time. But, I felt shamed into getting it. “Maybe fat normal blood pressure is different from skinny regular blood pressure” I thought to myself. Once more, I had gone to one of the altars of health just to be reminded of my inadequacies. No understanding, no thinking of what I have tried to do, just a general “seeming” disdain for me because of my size. The Next Doctor Fast forward three weeks. My “cold” symptoms not getting any better, I decided [read: my wife decided] that I might need to go to the doctor’s office. I gave in – under duress – and, after a day of research and recommendations, made an appointment with a local internal medicine practice. Needless to say, I was more that apprehensive; I was scared. Why? I just wanted to be well – correction – I just wanted everyone else to not think my symptoms were because I was fat. I was tired of the looks and the comments from well-meaning acquaintances that reminded me of a Kevin James standup line – “You know what you need to do is – chew sugarless gum!” And I found myself in another waiting room. And I found myself waiting on another doctor. But things went a different way that day. Still had to get weighed; still had to get all the vitals. But this time, the doctor listened. Was it because I threatened to walk out (in a very nice way)? Maybe. Or, as I want to believe, it was because he took his oath seriously – not just from the physical standpoint, but from a mental and emotional one as well. The need to “do no harm” sometimes means dealing with issues in succession instead of parallel. He was intentionally listening to my symptoms. He was intentionally listening to my chest and lungs. He was simply intentional. After 30 minutes or so, he gave me a bit more serious diagnosis – Bronchitis and possible Pneumonia which had set in over the past month to six weeks. A visit to the hospital lab and radiology would be in order. What Am I Trying to Say? Here I sit several weeks after that “good” doctor’s visit. I am well, but still fat. I no longer need the inhaler, narcotics-laced cough suppressant, expectorant, or the rest between flights of stairs. I still have a follow-up with the good doctor on my “other diagnosis [of obesity].” I’ve actually been writing this blog for almost two months. When I started it was about letting people know that there is a normal person inside most fat people; that every health challenge we face isn’t a result of our weight, and that we didn’t just gorge ourselves to this point. However, I think there is more to it. There is an aspect of this that can be applied across many issues that people face. It isn’t always as simple as “just go and do/don’t do that again.” When we are told commanded to “Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my (Jesus’) disciples—when they see the love you have for each other,” it means that we love and honor each other with even the problems, failures, and brokenness. Of course we want to see change! Of course we want to see each other achieve freedom! It all starts, however, with loving – even where each other is in their journey and “doing no harm.” Anyway, I think I have rambled enough. I hope someone finds something helpful in this!

A Very Country Christmas by Zara Stoneley About the author Zara Stoneley is the USA Today bestselling author of The Wedding Date. Born in a small village in the UK, she wanted to be a female James Herriot, a spy, or an author when she grew up. After many (many) years, and many different jobs, her dream of writing a bestseller came true. She writes about friendship, dreams, love, and happy ever afters, and hopes that her tales make you laugh a lot, cry a little, and occasionally say ‘ahhh’. Zara now lives in a Cheshire village with her family A short Christmas story of three courses. Love is in the air in Tippermere as Lottie dreams of a white Christmas with no trimmings – other than her hot and hunky eventer, Rory. But things are never quite that simple on the Tipping House Estate. Festive fervour takes over and it isn’t all seasonal peace and goodwill as expectations rise and it soon escalates from cosy dinner for two, to all the trimmings for ten! With missing turkeys, loose horses, troublesome terriers and randy huntsmen, Lottie is hard pushed to find time for a kiss under the mistletoe, let alone find the opportunity to woo Rory with her sexy Santa costume. But there is only one thing Lottie really wants for Christmas, and only one man can deliver it… This was a lovely little freebie off Apple Books and I read it in a day so it was a nice quick read. The first thing I liked about this story was the setting, immediately it seemed to me to be the idyllic Christmas setting. There was a mansion, a stable yard and a cosy little flat overlooking a stables, oh and a country pub you can walk to. Sounds perfect to me! The main character in the story was Lottie and I must admit she is very brave inviting so many to Christmas Dinner and offering to cook it all. Her partner Rory is obviously a very patient man because he does not bat an eyelid when he finds out how many people she has invited when it was meant to be just the two of them. However, Lottie is very trusting in my opinion, considering the texts Rory gets from young beautiful women! There are funny bits in this story, romantic moments and drama and it will definitely make you giggle. The only thing that spoilt it for me and the reason it did not get the full 5 Dragons was the use of the bad language which I found unnecessary and a character description at the beginning. I really do not like character descriptions, I like to discover the characters for myself. This is a real feel good book and perfect for the festive season. I will definitely be looking at the other Tippermere books because I really want to read about the characters a bit more.

Small-scale and craft producers across the Bendigo region are now better equipped to grow their businesses and spread local produce more widely, thanks to support from the Andrews Labor Government. Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan and Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards today announced that the Labor Government is backing local food, drink and produce companies from around the state as part of the first round of the Artisanal Sector Program. Bridgeward Grove is a grower of olives and producer of olive products and preserves, and will receive a grant for marketing and web services to grow their sales to a wider audience. Divine is an organic grower of edible flowers, culinary herbs and vegetables in Goornong, Central Victoria whose grant will be used to purchase a forklift to improve efficiency in production and packing as they use a palletised system when sending produce out. Thyme for Tea produces artisanal hot and cold tea beverages, collaborating with other local producers for events, and sourcing local produce wherever possible. Their grant will be used to purchase a new label maker and labels to enable higher production of their teas. The Flowermint produces and arranges artisanal flowers locally, including natives, using specialised techniques, providing customers with an authentic experience – and will use the grant to purchase greenhouse equipment that will support expanded production of locally-grown flowers. Wild and Tamed is a small-scale, specialised artisan bread maker that provides artisan breads for a large number of cafes and restaurants in the Bendigo region. Their grant will go towards equipment that will allow the business to produce more bread more quickly and grow their customer base. Across Victoria, almost 250 small-scale and craft food and drink businesses have received grants to support them to grow by purchasing new equipment or infrastructure, completing training in specialist food and agricultural techniques or hiring consultancy services to build their marketing and business capability. The Victorian Budget 2018/19 provided $2 million to support small and micro businesses from around the state increase production and promote their local produce more widely. Victoria is renowned for its high-quality premium produce, and the Labor Government is proud to support the agricultural businesses that not only feed and clothe Victorians, but create jobs, attract tourism and make regional communities vibrant. The Labor Government is now continuing its support for small-scale craft food, beer and spirit producers, with a commitment to provide an additional $10 million. The expansion of the program is part of a goal to keep Victoria as the nation’s number one food producer, support local economies, create local jobs and reach $20 billion in food and fibre exports by 2030. The program has received a huge response and large number of applications in its first round, highlighting the important role of local produce, and the diversity of the sector across Victoria. For more information please visit agriculture.vic.gov.au/artisanag Quotes attributable to Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan “We’re proud to back Bendigo’s craft producers to improve their agricultural techniques and business skills, so they can increase their production and share their produce more widely.” Quotes attributable to Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards “The Bendigo region has a rich and diverse agricultural sector, and we’re supporting our producers to improve market opportunities and build agri-tourism across the state.”

It’s hard to believe it’s been three and a half months since the NHL (and really the world) came to a screeching halt and hit the world’s biggest speedbump in terms of everyday life. I didn’t realize it’s already been that long until I was thinking back to mid-March and the last time the NHL or any other major sport had any kind of daily relevance for me. We’re now at the end of June and as all the major sports try to creep toward playing, cases are spiking up again around the country, and big-time athletes like tennis’ Novak Djokovic and hockey’s own Auston Matthews are also testing positive for COVID-19. In some ways tonight’s draft lottery is the NHL’s return to the North American stage, even though the return to play plan was already announced some weeks ago, it’s still a theory to me until guys are actually on the ice and playing wherever the NHL’s going to have its ‘hub cities’. Tonight is really the first big moment for the NHL since the mid-March pause, on or off the ice. This time, Canadian winger Alexis Lafreniere (pictured above) is the top prize at stake for the 24(!) teams with a shot at winning the top pick. Yet, theoretically we might not know who gets any of the top three picks if the blank cards for play-in round losers come up in all the lottery winner spots. You can argue the logic of this one-off lottery if you wish, I know Derek’s not high on it. Rumor is the league may announce its intended hub cities tonight to coincide with the draft lottery. Personally, as a Devils fan I’m ambivalent to the lottery at the moment. Oh sure I’ll be watching and celebrate in the moment if somehow lightning strikes thrice and the Devils vault into the top three from outside it yet again (though this time they’ll have to do it without lottery good luck charm Taylor Hall). At the same time, it’ll also feel a bit embarassing if we really corner the market on lotto luck Oilers-style. I couldn’t really blame opposition fans for being bitter if that was the case. It’s not even as if our last two lotto wins have set the world on fire yet. Sure, Nico Hischier looks like a solid two-way player and Jack Hughes still has plenty of time to improve on a rookie season that was just as lost as the franchise on the whole. And even winning the lottery under the previous system only just gained us more distant futures as we went from Adam Larsson to Hall to the picks and prospects we got for cashing out on him. Still it’s nice to have something tangible that’ll finally matter somewhat in terms of one of my sports teams. While the NFL tries to plow through its offseason like it’s business as usual, it’s still the actual offseason. Though I pay little more than casual attention to the NBA (loosely still a Nets fan, but once I started getting into hockey as a teenager I wasn’t as big a basketball fan after that), they’ve been in the same limbo as the NHL and are arguably in more danger going down to Orlando to attempt to add on a few games to its regular season before the playoffs. Baseball, well we know what a disaster that’s been with the sport getting shut down on the eve of the season and then unneccesary and petty labor fights proving to be a pox on everyone’s house dominating the interim before time ran out and a 60-game season had to be implemented without an agreement. At least for once the NHL wasn’t the sport that had to default to a shutdown over labor issues. Ironically it was the first of these major labor issues under commisioner Gary Bettman that was the backdrop for the Devils’ first Stanley Cup in the 1995 NHL season, which didn’t begin until late January and stalled the momentum the NHL got from a dramatic 1994 playoffs that briefly put the league on track to gain much-needed mainstream exposure in the US, especially after baseball’s own labor issues obliterated their season and dragged into 1995 as well. Instead of an 82-game season we had a 48-game sprint where the league’s two best teams in 1994 both struggled, the Rangers barely squeezing into the playoffs as an 8 seed following their emotional curse-breaking Cup win in 1994 while the Devils finished an ordinary fifth in the East, needing an early Spring surge to avoid the bubble themselves. Going into the playoffs the story surrounding the Devils wasn’t whether they could win a Cup but rather, would they even BE in New Jersey after 1995? Rumors of a move to Nashville swirled around the team the whole Spring and to me created a bit more urgency for the franchise to win. Even as a teenager then, I felt the team needed to win it all to avoid moving, a little like a real-life Major League movie. Would I even still be a hockey fan if the Devils had moved? I certainly would have missed out on the Devils’ dynasty cause there’s no way I would have rooted for them in Nashville in a pre-WWW age of actually being able to keep up with teams more easily around the globe. I could have pictured being stuck with rooting for the Islanders during their dark ages and becoming disillusioned. Maybe I would have gotten more interest back in the NBA as the Nets became good in the early 2000’s. Though the Devils were on the road for every series that playoff I knew they could win any series, at least in the East. Detroit loomed out West with their league-best record, and a talented group under legendary coach Scotty Bowman. First the Devils had to get to the Finals though, and they disposed of Boston and Pittsburgh in five games during the first two rounds much to the surprise of the ‘experts’, then in the Conference Finals came the rival Flyers who had the best record in the East and a young, talented team led by the guy who looked like the NHL’s next superstar in Eric Lindros. Philly had disposed of the defending champion Rangers in a second-round sweep, but it looked like the shoe was on the other foot against the Devils as the team from Jersey got up 2-0 with a pair of convincing wins in the City of Brotherly Love. Perhaps overconfidence kicked in, and the Devils lost Games 3 and 4 at East Rutherford, giving the Flyers back home-ice as the teams went to Philly for the pivotal Game 5. Although many will cite Scott Stevens’ hit on Slava Kozlov or Scott Niedermayer’s end-to-end goal during the Finals as the most memorable play from that year, to me the moment I’ll always think of from the postseason is Claude Lemieux’s pivotal tie-breaking goal in the fifth game at Philly. With the teams less than a minute from OT it had already more or less become sudden death for Game 5, and the Devils staring at possibly being down 3-2 after three straight losses it was the eventual Conn Smythe winner who saved the day, with an assist from the ill-fated Ron Hextall in the Flyers’ net. Now with the momentum and the home-ice in Game 6, the Devils dominated most of the night and clinched their first SCF berth in front of an approving home crowd. Against Detroit in the SCF while I knew it wasn’t going to be the sweep or blowout people figured I was worried we could lose a tight seven-game series, but the Devils continued to mystify the experts by winning the first two in Detroit, with the aformentioned Niedermayer goal breaking a third-period tie in Game 2. I knew the issue was settled after the Devils’ dominant Game 3 win. I was so comfortable I even fell asleep on the couch toward the end of the third period with the Devils up 5-0. Game 4 wasn’t quite the same fait accompli but after Shawn Chambers’ tying goal at the end of a first period dominated by Detroit, you just knew the Devils weren’t going to be denied at home. It was during the close of Game 4 that another iconic image of that postseason happened. Grinder Mike Peluso got so emotional over winning the Cup he had to miss a shift or two towards the end of the game breaking down on the bench. Even since then I haven’t seen too many visceral reactions like that, at least during the actual game. Also noteworthy about the clips above is the broadcasting team – the Devils’ own Doc Emrick who’s clearly the best announcer in hockey, and the Rangers’ John Davidson who for a long time was the best analyst in the business before getting back into the NHL in a management capacity. You still can’t have a better duo doing national games. And Emrick, who was associated with the Devils for over two decades got to do the memorable call of their first title. ‘The championship to New Jersey…the Devils win the Stanley Cup!’ Short and sweet, much like the series itself. Fortunately the epilogue also had a happy ending for Devils fans as NJ native McMullen spurned the offer from Nashville at the last minute and kept the team in New Jersey, seemingly at a great cost as McMullen was forced to sell the team just after their second title in 2000. Did the championship and the fans’ reaction at the arena celebration (I refuse to call it a ‘parking lot parade’) several days later compel McMullen to let sentiment win out? Perhaps. Staying in NJ proved to be the best for everyone else involved, as the Devils built a model franchise for two decades while Nashville would get their own popular expansion team in 1998. Those days seem a long way off now, all things considered. Both because of the state of the current team and society as a whole. Not to mention on a certain level it was depressing realizing it was 25 years since that championship and many of the faces involved with the team are no longer around, other than Ken Daneyko who parlayed being a popular player into a team color guy shortly after his career ended in 2003. Matt Loughlin, who was then a TV analyst is now the team’s radio play-by-play guy. And after Martin Brodeur moved on as a player following the 2014 season, he returned to the organization in a management capacity last offseason. I don’t want to get melancholy however, I do think better days are ahead though we’re definitely in for some more rocky ones as a country. For the team itself? Well it can’t get much worse than it was the first half of last year.

Cardinal Walter Kasper has defended Pope Francis’ attitude towards remarried divorced persons. “Pope Francis has not questioned at all the doctrine of sacramentality and indissolubility, and he is completely on the ground of tradition,” said the former president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity in an interview with the Cologne Internet portal domradio.de on his 30th anniversary of bishophood on Monday. Pope Francis, in his remarks on communion for divorced people in his 2016 apostolic exhortation on marriage and the family “Amoris laetitia”, seeks a spiritual discernment that leaves a leeway such that divorced Catholics can return to the Mass. “That was also the position of the young theologian Joseph Ratzinger,” recalled Kasper. It is “about the distinction between objectively serious sin, which does not necessarily and in every case mean subjectively serious sinfulness”. The Church must “guide the individual to the path of the commandments of God, but it can not substitute for the individual’s personal conscience.” In the case of the divorced and remarried, this requires a differentiated judgment in each case. “Little chance” for women priests Kasper sees “little chance” for a priestly ordination of women in the Catholic Church. The Church has to keep renewing itself, but it can not be reinvented, he said. In all the churches dating back to the first millennium – the Catholic, Oriental Orthodox and Byzantine – there are no “priestesses”. Until the last third of the 20th century, this also applied to the Anglican and Lutheran churches. Kasper referred to “unresolved ordeals” in the Anglican Communion because of the ordination of women. “I do not want that in my church, and there is no consensus in the worldwide Catholic Church, quite the opposite.” It is quite different with the renewal of the synodal structure of the Church, inspired by Pope Francis, which “should replace an autocratic, vainglorious priestly, episcopal understanding and open up a new coexistence of bishops, priests and laity,” said the cardinal. “Such recourse to the structure of the ancient Church would be the most conservative renewal imaginable, with which any diocese can start tomorrow, giving women rights of participation in all internal church matters.” Discussion about title “Pope Emeritus” needed Asked about his impression of the relationship between Pope Francis and his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who lives in the Vatican, Kasper described it as “very good” and “really brotherly”. Nevertheless, he sees a need for discussion regarding the regulations for dealing with a retired Pope. “The title ‘Pope Emeritus’ has its problems and they will certainly be discussed again,” he said. With regard to his speciality field, ecumenism, the cardinal stated that the Churches in Europe are becoming smaller in numbers and more marginalised in society, and must therefore “speak with as one mouth as much as possible”. Setting one Church against another is “nonsense, there we only lose”. Therefore, from this point of view, ecumenism is “very, very important and I think steps forward are possible”. Kasper judged the condition of the Church in his homeland Germany very critically. “Germany is only one part of the universal Church and a not very lively one at that,” he emphasized.

- This event has passed. Tyler/East Texas Support Group April 21 @ 1:00 pm What we’re about “No weigh-ins, no calorie counting. The intention of this group is to create a space for change; to educate and enlighten ourselves on the value of proper nutrition, and to support each other in making healthy food choices.” We are a group of caring people dedicated to helping each other learn to eat more healthfully, by replacing any processed foods in our diets with foods that are real, natural, and tasty! You will learn to eat “processed-free” in a group setting designed to foster solid knowledge of nutrition, healthy cooking, and confident food choices. There are six different groups that meet at several locations in the East Texas area, so you are sure to find a group near you! The Processed-Free Support Groups* were started by Dee McCaffrey, a formerly obese chemist who lost 100 pounds and has kept the weight off for over 20 years by staying away from processed foods—and through giving and receiving support to others who are on the same path. She is now an internationally known author and nutritionist. In her book The Science of Skinny, Dee details her journey from obese junk food junkie to health-savvy nutritionist. Knowing how daunting it can be to alter one’s diet, Dee shares her own experience managing the transition and lays out a plan to help readers make the jump. She emphasizes the importance of having a supportive community to help us stay on track. “Support is crucial” says Dee, “because it helps us to cultivate a belief in ourselves and connects us to others in ways that we don’t often find in other relationships, especially when it comes to changing our food choices.” The Processed-Free Support Group is a great place to learn about healthy foods, ask questions, exchange recipes and ideas, try new foods and experience the magic of working together to achieve a common goal. The first Processed-Free Support group was held in 2010 in Tempe, Arizona where Dee lives. Since then other people have started groups in cities where they live. The group follows suggestions outlined in The Science of Skinny by Dee McCaffrey, in in conjunction with other scientifically confirmed nutrition information. Books can be purchased at the group meetings or online at https://processedfreeamerica.org. *Processed-Free America is a non-profit organization founded by Dee McCaffrey and her husband Michael McCaffrey. Its mission is to help eliminate childhood and adult obesity through nutrition education to both young and old.

It’s been another vintage year for rock and metal in all of its various guises. And once again we’ve been spoilt for choice in picking our top 20. Read on to see which band grabbed the coveted Album Of The Year title – and check out whether your favourite made the cut. We said: TTM’s self-titled debut is rich in promise and more than justifies the band’s nomination in this year’s Classic Rock Magazine Best New Band category. Listen to this and you’ll ask yourself ‘can there be another contender?’ Planet Rock favourite Only Friend – the track that broke the band at the back end of last year – sounds fresher than ever while set closer Smouldering perfectly sums up one of the hottest new bands on the planet. Fans of Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company, Frankie Miller, vintage Whitesnake and, of course, the Rival Sons should delight in a record that will revitalise the UK scene. There Ain’t No Telling just how far this brilliant band can go. thequietus.com said: Essentially, TTM recognize that the fundamental blues-rock template is two-fold: either a) be unafraid to get your overdrive-ridden cahoonas out for all to see or b) take the mood down with a sensual bluesy ballad. Opener ‘Only Friend’ is emblematic of TTM in balls out mode – crunching tweed guitar and vocalist Phil Campbell singing like an atomic strength case of strep throat beating the living crap out of the local Lockets factory. Add to that lyrics of love and loss and hard times and you have compelling stuff. 2. Kvelertak – Meir (Roadrunner) 3. The Tedeschi Trucks Band – Made Up Mind (Sony) 4. Death Angel – The Dream Calls For Blood (Nuclear Blast) 5. Avenged Sevenfold – Hail To The King (Warner Bros) 6. Free Fall – Power And Volume (Nuclear Blast) 7. Audrey Horne – Youngblood (Napalm) 8. Clutch – Earth Rocker (Weathermaker Music) 9. Steven Wilson – The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories) (Kscope) 10. Quireboys – Beautiful Curse (Off Yer Rocker) 11. Bai Bang – All Around The World (AOR Heaven) 12. Reckless Love – Spirit (Spinefarm) 13. Huntress – Starbound (Napalm) 14. Scorpion Child – Scorpion Child (Nuclear Blast) 15. Queensryche – Queensryche (Century Media) 16. Lissie – Back To Forever (Columbia) 17. Blues Pills – Devil Man EP (Nuclear Blast) 18. Dregen – Dregen (Spinefarm) 19.

Eight teams are headed for the 2018 World Cup, while only a half-dozen others should feel comfortable with their tickets to Russia. Here’s where it stands in terms of who’s in, who’s likely in, and who’s reached the next step with a playoff berth. [ MORE: Should USMNT go 3 at the back? ] Qualifying in a nutshell IN: Russia (hosts), Brazil, Belgium, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Mexico NEARLY THERE: Costa Rica, Uruguay, Germany, Serbia, England, Spain. (Australia vs. Syria winner) vs. (CONCACAF fourth place) (CONMEBOL fifth place) vs. New Zealand — Tunisia controls its own destiny with a three-point lead on DR Congo and no matches between the two. — Nigeria leads Zambia by three points ahead of an Oct. 7 meeting between the two. A win will ensure a spot, while a draw would put it on the precipice via a significant goal differential advantage. — No one’s been eliminated in Group C, though Mali is an extreme long shot. Ivory Coast leads the group, a point ahead of Morocco, and two clear of Gabon. — Senegal is now in pole position after FIFA ruled that a match-fixing scandal demanded a replay between South Africa and the Senegalese. Full breakdown here. — Egypt has a two-point lead on Uganda, and two will not meet. Ghana is four back of Egypt, but could be eliminated before it gets a chance to face the Egyptians on Nov. 6. Best guesses: Tunisia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Egypt. — Costa Rica needs a point to join Mexico in Russia. — Panama will clinch an automatic spot with a win over the U.S. on Oct. 6, before hosting presumably-safe Costa Rica on Oct. 10. — The United States will get an automatic spot with a win over Panama on Oct. 6 and by bettering Panama’s result versus Costa Rica. — Honduras heads to Costa Rica on Oct. 6 and hosts Mexico on Oct. 10. [ MORE: USMNT’s World Cup scenarios ] Panama has 10 points, while the USMNT and Honduras have nine. One will automatically qualify for Russia, while another will face Australia or Syria over two legs in November. A third will be left out in the cold. Best guesses: USMNT finishes 3rd, Panama to playoff where it loses to Australia. One of the most fun and breakneck tournaments in sports, Brazil is in, Uruguay as close to being in as Ecuador and Paraguay are to being out, and both Bolivia and Venezuela are out. 2. Uruguay (27 pts) – Venezuela (A), Bolivia (H) 3. Colombia (26 pts) – Paraguay (H), Peru (A) 4. Peru (24 pts) – Argentina (A), Colombia (H) 5. Argentina (24 pts) – Peru (H), Ecuador (A) 6. Chile (23 pts) – Ecuador (H), Brazil (A) 7. Paraguay (21 pts)– Colombia (A), Venezuela (H) 8. Ecuador (20 pts) – Chile (A), Argentina (H) Uruguay, Colombia, and Argentina should be relatively happy with their routes, while there is — stunningly — a scenario in which Chile wins both its matches and still misses out on an automatic playoff spot. Of the teams in the Top Four, Peru has looked good but faces the hardest route to stay in a slot. Of the teams beyond, both Argentina and Chile will like their chances of catching Peru. Paraguay would set up one of the wildest final days ever if it wins in Colombia on Oct. 5. Best guesses: Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina qualify; Chile to playoff win over New Zealand. — France only has a one-point lead on Sweden thanks to a surprise draw with Luxembourg. The Netherlands will hope to pull at least a three-goal win over the visiting Swedes on the final day while at least matching their result on Oct. 7. Bulgaria needs a wild array of results, but is alive. — Switzerland has a three-point lead on Portugal, who has 11 goals better differential. The two sides meet in Portugal on Oct. 10 at which point the EURO champs will likely have strengthened their almost insurmountable GD advantage, but will still need a win. — Northern Ireland is likely heading to the playoffs unless it beats Germany in N.I. on Oct. 5, and then wins in Norway while Germany loses at home to Azerbaijan. — Serbia needs to choke to allow Wales or Ireland into the top spot, while the Welsh hold a one-point advantage over the visiting Irish should it come to their Oct. 9 meeting. Austria needs to win both — likely by multiple goals — then hope both Wales and Ireland are upset in their Oct. 6 matches before drawing each other. — Three teams are alive in Group E, with Poland leading Montenegro and Denmark by three points. The latter hold four-goal advantages in differential on Poland. Montenegro hosts Denmark and visits Poland, while Denmark also hosts Romania and Poland heads to Armenia. No one is safe, but Poland could solidify its advantage with a multi-goal win in Armenia. — Second-place Slovakia has one-point and goal differential edges on Slovenia and Scotland. Scotland faces both its rivals, while Slovakia hosts Malta and Slovenia is off to England. Any of the three could win the playoff spot. — Group G likely belongs to Spain, which has a three-point and 17-goal advantage on Italy, who needs just a point from a home match with Macedonia to make a final day meeting with Albania moot. The Albanians would have to win at Spain, then beat visiting Italy while making up 11 goals of differential and seeing Italy lose at home to Macedonia. — Bosnia and Herzegovina are the favorites to nail down second, with a one-point edge on Greece and a four-point lead on Cyprus. BNH has to host mighty but already-qualified Belgium while Cyprus hosts Greece on Oct. 7. A road win over Roberto Martinez’s men would leave it with a trip to Estonia, while Greece’s last day is a visit from lowly Gibraltar and Cyprus is off to Belgium. Greece could be in the best position here. — At the risk of writing another 900 words, Group I is jammed up. Croatia and Iceland have 16 points, while Turkey and Ukraine have 14. Here’s how they finish: Croatia (16 pts, +9 GD): vs. Finland, at Ukraine Iceland (16 pts, +4 GD): at Turkey, vs. Kosovo Turkey (14 pts, +4 GD): vs. Iceland, at Finland Ukraine (14 pts, +4 GD): at Kosovo, vs. Croatia Your guess is as good as ours. Tricky, tricky group. Group winners — France, Portugal, Germany, Serbia, Poland, England, Spain, Belgium, Iceland, Turkey Second-place* — Sweden, Switzerland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Slovakia, Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia *Republic of Ireland misses out on playoffs as lowest-ranked second-place team.

“But migraines! Everyone relishes a migraine. They have a literal aura! Migraines foster the sort of pure narcissism that only intense, essentially benign pain can. We sufferers (that’s how it’s described, “migraine sufferer”) feel it is meet and right that the migraine should be dramatized in films like Pi or White Heat; this strengthens the perception that migraines are the hallmark of geniuses, or at least psychopaths. Joan Didion writes about them; of course she does.” Sadie Stein on the allure of the headache to end all headaches.

Auto Loans After Default in St. Peters Trying to secure a car loan with defaulted credit can be a nightmare. Potential car buyers may travel from dealership to dealership, unable to gain a loan because of piles of credit card debt or other unpaid loans. In order to repair credit, a person needs reliable transportation to get to a job, so buyers are caught in an awful catch-22. Here at 5 Star Auto Plaza, we believe that everyone deserves to get into the car of their choice, regardless of credit history. For this reason, we offer auto loans after default in St. Peters to not only qualified buyers, but to everyone. Here at 5 Star, we believe that sometimes bad things happen to and hard times fall upon good people. Sometimes regular items like groceries must be put on a credit card when times get tough, and the mountain of credit card debt can pile up. As a Buy Here Pay Here dealership, we are unique in the fact that we do not depend on outside sources for our decision making. Other car dealerships have special relationships with lenders and other financial corporations, and those corporations must approve credit applications. Not only are those with defaulted credit swiftly denied, it also takes days for the application to be returned. Here at 5 Star, most of our clients are approved, with the credit application results returning in less than five minutes. We invite all potential car buyers to come down to our West Clay Street location to see all of our new, used, and pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs. For those interested in auto loans after default in St. Peters stop by or give 5 Star Auto Plaza a call at (636)940-7600. We want to build our clients for life.

“At breakfast, you are rested and refreshed, have not yet been hassled, and are full of new hopes and plans.” (German writer Heinrich Spoerl, 1887-1955) Breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day… It is a great and simple truth: This is what happiness is. A steaming cup of coffee. The scent of freshly baked goods. Velvety butter. A selection of homemade jams and marmalades. Sunny side eggs. Or, rather, scrambled eggs with crisp fried bacon? Fresh-squeezed orange juice. Delicate ham. Thin slices of cheese. And a glass of prosecco. There’s nothing like a hearty, delicious breakfast or perfect late breakfast to start your day… at 8:00am or at 11:00am. Luckily, there are several restaurants throughout Innsbruck that understand this. If you’re not sure where to go, use my guide to help find the best morning-eats places in Innsbruck — you’ll sense the bite-by-bite challenge of the meal that is both a simple comfort ritual and a culinary invitation to the day. KAISER MAX – A Royal Feast at the Emperor What you’re getting: The menu carries all the classics on a nicely creative morning menu – and the beautiful plates of food take their breakfast up a notch! All prix fixe menus come with a fresh-squeezed juice of your choice, either orange or carrot. Their specialty is obviously their decadent sweet waffles — fluffy, warm, and you can customize your waffle with toppings of your choice, including vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit. Ambiance: The interior of this beautiful bar is stylish and minimalist in design; it is part of the above lying Design Apartments. The walls are adorned with portraits of Emperor Maximilian, who gave the place its name, and other members of Tirol-related aristocracy. Kaiser Max is a great first-thing-in-the-morning stop, but it’s also well known as a late-night stop (as its dazzling wine rack suggests). Price: Starting at € 4.90 per person. Why? This place has a luxe vibe and this is NOT your standard breakfast spot—it’s next-level stuff. LUDWIG – Hamburgers for Breakfast? What you’re getting: Don’t worry, Ludwig’s breakfast options do not include hamburgers. Instead, its breakfast menu includes delicious dishes like eggs with bacon, ham or spinach, oatmeal, muesli, toast, and beans & egg in the glass. Bread options range from brioche buns to whole meal toast bread, which tastes great. The spreads are awesome, especially the hummus. There are three kinds of fruit jam for choice. We opted for strawberry–prosecco and found it near impossible to resist. Everything from the fresh and delightful smoothies to the organic fare at Ludwig never fails to impress. Plus, the service is courteous and quick. Price: Starting at € 3.50 per person, cappuccino is € 3.20. Why? They bring in high-quality ingredients and have intriguing options. Some staples dazzle outright: The beans & egg in the glass are lovely to look at, and even better to eat ;-) BAREFOOT – Life is a Beach What you’re getting: Basically, you can choose between two different options: ‘Saltwater’ (hearty with rye bread) or ‘Fresh Water’ (croissant) for sweet tooths, including a hot beverage of your choice. Barefoot is the place to set up your own ideal breakfast — just the way you like it. To order extras, simply tick items on your menu sheet. And they serve up an enticing array of breakfast options, from fresh-squeezed smoothies over avocados and jams and marmalades to eggs cooked your way to name but a few… Ambiance: Its gorgeous interior has a cosy feel to it with adorable decor that will make you feel like you’re right at home (like shelves stacked with books, some of which are available for sale). They are tropical-themed restaurants that will also make you feel like you’re dining on a beach. Barefoot has two outlets in Innsbruck, one is located at DEZ Shopping Mall above Indigo and the other is situated at Soulkitchen. Both locations are casual-contemporary and lively – and the seating is truly unique. Price: Starting at € 5.90 per person; “extras” have to be extra paid. Why? These spots offer the definition of high-quality indulgence on their menus. Every item is super delicious! IMMERLAND – The Gem at Wiltener Platzl Square What you’re getting: Fresh local ingredients are a priority at this lovely eatery, where the menu boasts hand-rolled white bread, whole meal bread, gluten-free bread, farmer’s ham, mountain cheese from Lechtal Valley, famer’s eggs cooked your way, fresh and daily changing spreads, fruit jams and marmalades, honey and avocado chocolate cream. Fresh fruit. And much more. A jug of water on the table rounds out the welcoming experience. To order, simply tick items on your menu sheet. Ambiance: The pretty French Provincial decor with stunning vintage and antique pieces makes it the perfect spot for enjoying a delicious breakfast. It’s like being transformed to another world. Beautiful. Price: The basic breakfast is € 5.80 per person and includes coffee or tea, bread, butter and one spread of your choice. Why? Because the atmosphere is truly special. Everything here is made with love and dedication. SOULKITCHEN Brunch Boulevard – Probably the Best Brunch in Town What you’re getting: Their offer will expand your notions of breakfast. From fresh-squeezed fruit or vegetable juices of your choice, cheese specialties, Italian dry-cured ham, different types of salmon, muesli, eggs, donuts & pastries, various kinds of freshly baked bread, and a belt-testing array of hearty options. And yes, by belt-testing, I mean everything from Bavarian veal sausages over goulash soup to fresh, hand tossed pizza. The full service coffee bar makes drinks just the way you like them, from espresso over latte to cappuccino. Pro tip: snag a spot near the bar for frequent and free coffee refills. Included as well is a glass of prosecco (with strawberries) or a beer. Unfortunately, there is no free refill on these two… Ambiance: The Soulkitchen has three open food courts so there are mostly no lines at the breakfast buffets. The Soulkitchen is a respite for those looking to catch up in airy, sun-soaked and contemporary environs. The outdoor patio is a cosy place. Keep the party vibes going with the DJ house-sound-fuelled brunch. There’s no walking to the buffet; instead, you will be shaking a leg. Price: All-you-can-eat breakfast buffet € 27.90 per person, children under 12 € 13.90 Why? This spot does breakfast this damn good. CAFE KATZUNG – Tradition at the Innsbruck Old Town District What you’re getting: A la carte options and delicious spreads like the Athlete’s Breakfast or the Vitality Breakfast. You can buy everything else separately and there’s a large selection to choose from. If you like it sweet, there’s a lavish array of pastries and viennoiseries too. Ambiance: Lovely, traditional café environment at the heart of the old town. Sit yourself in one of the bay windows to enjoy the best of what the place has to offer. Price: Prix fixe menus range from € 9.00 to € 14.00 per person; “extras” have to be extra paid. Why? They serve breakfast all day so you can satisfy your breakfast itch throughout the day, from 08:00am to midnight. CAFE SAILER – Even Better than You’d Expect What you’re getting: There’s something for every palate. The breakfast menu has a robust range of stomach-filling goodies, so breakfast here means you won’t be eating much for the rest of the day. The space is generous and bathed in light and the clientele includes business people working on their laptops and the casual chatter of regular diners as they’re greeted by staff. This breakfast spot might not look like much from the exterior, but sit down for a savoury meal and you’ll be won over by the contemporary interior design. There is a separate smoking and non-smoking area. Price: Small Breakfast with bread and choice of coffee or tea € 4.90 per person, First Class Breakfast with salmon & prosecco € 15.40 per person. Why? I love the stylish ambiance. BERETTA by NALA – For People who Like to Get Up What you’re getting: As the name suggests, “Beretta” serves “una colazione italiana”. But don’t worry, you’ll get much more than that usual Italian colazione (breakfast) of pastries, butter biscuits and sweet cornetti, the Italian take on the French croissant. At Beretta, they also serve parmigiano, mortadella, prosciutto crudo, scrambled eggs, spinach, carrots, beans, pancakes, piadine… the whole nine yards. Of course, there is a rich variety of pastries on offer, too. Honey homes with the comb. Fresh and delicious apple and pear juice comes on tap directly from Schmirntal Valley (well, I admit that’s not exactly Italy, but it’s close to the Italian border). For that caffeine boost, help yourself to a grande latte, espresso or cappuccino… as much as you need. What they don’t have is prosecco, so this is not exactly the place to start day-drinking. Vabbè… almeno per questa volta ;-) Price: € 15.00 for hotel guests, € 18.00 per person (a small option, including a croissant, a cup of coffee and fruit is available at € 5.00 per person). Why? It is oh so Italian, deliciously so! The design is glossy, modern and ‘different‘. Breakfast is always wonderful and served with a smile. BÄCKER RUETZ – For Every Day What you’re getting: Market-style eatery. You won’t find any breakfast innovations at this eatery chain, but you will find solid varieties of prix fixe menus, from the simple butter and jam Baker’s Breakfast to the no-bars-held option consisting of pretty much everything. And, what’s breakfast without coffee? Strongly recommended is the Baker’s Breakfast, which includes free and unlimited coffee refills for just € 5.70 per person. Coffee addicts like me are happy to linger over that never-empty coffee cup (although, if you want prosecco, you need to buy this separately… but as they say, you can’t have it all ;)) Ambiance: As a chain, there are now quite a few Ruetz outlets in Innsbruck. I especially like the branch on Maximilianstraße Street; it’s inviting, modern and very comfortable, and sitting in the large window in that particular outlet certainly comes with entertainment value. Price: Cheap but delicious, starting from € 4.00 per person, coffee included. Breakfast Hours: Mondays to Saturdays 07:00am – 7:00pm, Sundays & Holidays 08:00am – 5:00pm. Why? It’s the perfect everyday choice that won’t break the bank. THE PENZ HOTEL – Breakfast Above the Rooftops of Innsbruck What you’re getting: Buffet-style. This breakfast spot offers an eclectic menu of everything from ham, cheese, butter, jams, marmalades, and muesli to more non-traditional morning fare like fish and seafood specialties and exotic fruits, such as pomegranates and prickly pears. Brunch comes with a glass of prosecco, plus the standard coffee and juice. Ambiance: The Penz is a design hotel that offers gorgeous spaces where one can take in this stunning location, overlooking the rooftops of Innsbruck. The sunny rooftop terrace affords jaw-dropping views of Tirol’s beautiful capital. Price: Starting at € 27 per person Why? Because this eclectic breakfast buffet is in a class of its own! MANNA – Delicatessen Café What you’re getting: Manna puts an exciting international spin on standard breakfast fare, including an Oriental version with Mini Naas and hummus or a vegan option. Of course, they do have a standard Viennese breakfast, too. I opted for whole meal bread with a sunny-side up egg. And although the bread was no whole meal but black bread with sunflower seeds, it tasted great. Ambiance: The dining room is located in a historic, listed building that is very long and narrow (4m x 30m). Daylight comes from above in the rear, where the ceiling is made of glass. It’s a bit dark inside nevertheless, but cosy and inviting. There is an outdoor patio onto Maria-Theresien-Straße, Innsbruck’s lively and pedestrianized main artery. Price: Starting at € 4.50 per person. Why? A meal at the Manna is the best way to start your shopping day off right.

The Patient Transfer Aid is ideal for moving individuals from room to room in a domestic environment and helping to improve muscle tone during the transfer process. Suitable for those who can pull themselves up, the side panels fold town to provide a temporary seat for transfer. The user can have their legs supported by the knee brace and hold on to the horizontal bar in front of them. The wheeled base allows for easy manoeuvrability from room to room while the 2 front wheels have locking brakes for support when initially standing or sitting. The narrow width allows for easy manoeuvring through doorways, while the clever design of the wheel positioning allows for transfer onto the toilet.

Yang, Xiushi (1993). Household Registration, Economic Reform, and Migration. International Migration Review, 27 Everyone born in China has a household registration which identifies the type of household registration, agricultural or nonagricultural, determined by the household one is born into and the official residence. While determining one's type of residence, household registration also determines one's eligibility and access to government social services and benefits, and influences one's motivation to migrate. The author explores the relationship between type of household registration and the type of and reasons for migration in China. Data are used from the Zhejiang Province segment of the 1986 National Urban Migration Survey. The Zhejiang part of the survey sampled approximately 1400 households with 5229 individuals. Results suggest that agricultural registration is a clear deterrent to permanent migration, but does not influence temporary migration. Permanent migrants with agricultural registration predominantly move for noneconomic reasons, while those with nonagricultural registration are more likely motivated by economic reasons. The pattern is reversed in temporary migration. A key to understanding individual migration behavior is to understand household registration and its function as the intermediary through which the government exercises control over migration. Overall, changing market conditions associated with economic reforms account for these new patterns of spatial mobility. International Migration Review

The city of Crestview is hosting a 5K to help benefit the Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless on Saturday, November 23. CRESTVIEW — The city of Crestview will host a 5K on Nov. 23 to benefit the Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless (CASH). The event, which is part of the mayor’s homelessness initiative program, will begin at 10 a.m. at the Crestview Community Center. "We don’t know the exact number of homeless we have in Crestview," said Mayor J.B. Whitten. "I think we need to bring our resources together and help the homeless as much as we can." Participation in the 5K costs $10. Anyone wishing to participate is asked to register prior to race day at the Parks and Recreation Office located at the Community Center. All proceeds from the race will go directly to CASH. Non-perishable food items and clothing donations will also be taken up on the day of the event. According to Whitten, socks are a major need at the shelter, so the city will try to "fill the boot" with donations of new socks still in their packaging. "There is no particular goal because it’s like baby steps: you have to walk before you can run," Whitten said. "I said why don’t we do this fundraiser and see if we can get Ann (Sprague) up and running. She has rooms and she has closets, so let’s see if we can get her stocked up." Prizes will be awarded after the 5K for first through third place in both the female and male division. Other post-race activities, like Saving With Soul Pet Rescue adoptions, will take place post-race on the Community Center’s lawn. For more information about the event, contact the Parks and Recreation department at 850-682-0789.

With over a dozen solar installations by members on DREMC lines, it is evident that there is a segment of our membership that is interested in supporting solar and taking advantage of the premium pricing TVA offers. The intent of this solar farm installation was to provide an opportunity to interested members and pass along the $.12 premium pricing offered by TVA’s Generation Partners program; that’s over $.22 per kWh today! DREMC made its 25.92kW solar farm capacity available to members for an investment of $600 per unit of limited partnership interest, equivalent to the production of a half panel with a total of 216 units. Each of the 108 panels installed at DREMC’s headquarters facility is 240W Sharp panels manufactured right here in Tennessee. Currently, the solar farm is fully subscribed.

Racing at Cheltenham is back- and with it comes some very early clues for The Festival. Last year's Showcase meeting saw winners Wholestone and Fox Norton go on to be placed in March. Little Tiger Roll, a former Triumph Hurdle hero, finished third at the track in October before returning to score in the National Hunt Chase. The Home of Jump Racing used to really get going from the November Meeting but its first meeting has grown in prominence and now produces real Festival clues. With the added bonus of a food and drink show in The Centaur, plus guided tours of the parade ring and weighing room, there's something for everyone- from the die-hard racing fan to the casual punter. Here's five horses that could have much bigger aims at Prestbury Park in the months to come: Defi Du Seuil Expected to be the star of Saturday's card, the unbeaten juvenile from last season puts his Champion Hurdle credentials on the line. Already priced-up as the 8/1 third favourite for the championship crown, Philip Hobbs' four-year-old scooped seven races after being purchased by JP McManus from France. Four of those came at Cheltenham, including the JCB Triumph Hurdle. "I think he can come here and run in the Arkle or Champion Hurdle next year. He's some horse," Hobbs said after that success. "The difference between him and Rooster Booster (2003 Champion Hurdle winner) is he was never going to jump fences, his schooling was awful. This horse has always jumped very well. "Because he has never been beaten for us you never know how good he might be." Richard Johnson said he was a passenger for the whole of the two mile trip, as his mount was doing it effortlessly. "At Christmas he shocked me how much speed he had and on the better ground some people thought that was a negative," he told the media. "He's just improved all year and I can't believe he's the same horse I rode at Ffos Las four or five months ago. "All credit to Philip, he's handled him brilliantly all year." Defi Du Seuil reportedly worked well under his groom Izzy recently and it's all systems go for the £35,000 Masterson Holdings Hurdle, which has been his target since he returned from his summer break. Successful over fences at Warwick earlier this month, the five-year-old will look to back that up in Friday's squareintheair.com Novices' Chase. The Champion Hurdle sixth is not the biggest but was slick in the jumping department at his first attempt. Bookmakers have him priced up at 25/1 for the Arkle Chase at The Festival. "He appears in good form and it was a good performance at Warwick, but this will be tougher again," trainer Alan King told the Press Association. "Daryl Jacob sat on him on Thursday and jumped nine fences and he has worked well since so as long as things are OK, he will go to Cheltenham." Sceau Royal won over hurdles on the card last year. This exciting second season chaser is entered in the the £50,000 randoxhealth.com Handicap Chase over three miles and a furlong on Saturday. The progressive six-year-old has excellent course form and followed up an impressive novices' chase win at The International with a narrow defeat in the Ultima Handicap Chase at The Festival. Trainer Tom George has not fully committed the 5/1 shot to race this weekend but is looking forward to getting him started. "Singlefarmpayment is entered at Cheltenham on Saturday and it is possible he will start off there, although nothing is concrete at this stage," he said. "He came back from his summer break looking good and we are happy with him at the moment. "We said we will take each step as it comes this season, depending on how the horse is, and see where we go. "He progressed well last season and it will be interesting to see if he can carry that on this season." Thought of as Grand National type of the future, he went steeplechasing straight away after arriving in Naunton from the yard of Francois Nicolle. Ninth in the National Hunt Chase and a brave second at the Scottish National meeting, he has made an unconventional switch to hurdles for the season ahead. Attritional conditions were overcome in a slow-motion finish at Perth last month, where he was too good for the ever consistent Creevytennant. “The idea will be to compete in staying hurdle races and perhaps similar to the ones Wholestone was in last year," said said Anthony Bromley, racing manager to Isaac Souede and Simon Munir. First up is the Junior Jumpers Novices' Hurdle which was won by his classy stablemate last year, before he was upped to Graded contests. One of three JP McManus-owned horses with the Randox Health Handicap Chase as an option on Saturday, the Grand Annual eighth could kick-off his campaign. Sent off favourite for that Festival race, on the whole last season he didn't quite live up to expectations, especially as he cost his high-profile owner £290,000 from the Million In Mind dispersal sale. Tried at up to two miles and five furlongs, it seems Paul Nicholls, who has his string in incredible form of late (33 per cent strike rate in the past 14 days) is keen to stick to the minimum trip for now. This particular race looks like it may cut up and it may be the ideal starting point to get the 144-rated chaser back on course. "He is horse who will probably have entries in those better two-and-a-half-mile handicap chases," Nicholls told At The Races in his stable tour for the 2017/18 season. "Those types of races will suit him well."

Wind in the sails of MPEG Motion Spell, the company behind GPAC Licensing, has been quite involved in projects that required to follow the standardization activity. The environment has started to change these last years. Deep changes at MPEG The wind of change blows on MPEG. Despite fierce competition MPEG has stood up and even extended its scope and dominance. The main change is driven by MPEG creator and convenor, Leonardo Chariglione. Leonardo’s views are well explained in his blog and website of MPEG. The acceleration of the publication led him to present it as a book. The acceleration of this has several causes and consequences. First Leonardo has been the first and only ISO convenor in the MPEG group. It is probably important for him to put some legacy in a written way. The recent MPEG participants might not have the historical understanding necessary to go forward efficiently. Making standards is not easy. Secondly there is an acceleration in MPEG’s activity. Meetings are very busy with tight schedules. Companies need more standards, faster. Some companies try to get some leverage by extracting some of their activities out of MPEG, sometimes to escape from the ISO formalism that requires time. Thirdly MPEG has started to go beyond multimedia quite some time ago. For example MPEG works on standards for compression of neural networks for multimedia content description and analysis (ISO/IEC 15938-17). The environment is also different. The AV1 video codec launched. Despite MPEG’s incredible success some people think MPEG can be disrupted. There is no magic at MPEG For those interested to know about what a MPEG meeting looks like: MPEG stands out in front of the competition by its organization. Nothing of what happens at MPEG could not happen elsewhere. And MPEG work can also be improved including by bringing more competition! Some companies have started their own initiatives (V-Nova or Divideon on the video compression field) but finally joined the standardization process (see MPEG-5 Part 2 below). MPEG is still considered the best way for companies to get labels. These labels allow to be part of technology pools designed by industry consortia (e.g. HbbTV, ATSC, …). MPEG is driven by companies willing to push their technologies. The consequence is that technology is pushed with a huge amount of marketing and doesn’t fit with the technology enthusiasts recommendations (nor any consumer need although the consumer is sometimes forced to pay). While MPEG is driven by requirements, many companies and technologists think a de-facto standard that is opened afterward is a better option. At the same time much marketing is being debunked by the MPEG process that challenges the technology as much as it can. Important items from last MPEG Meeting MPEG-I: VR activities leading to a full 6-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) are progressing rapidly. It now appears that the market adoption will take longer than expected, but things will be in order for the companies and users who wish to use it. Video: MPEG-I and MPEG-5 are still battling. While MPEG-I part 3 (VVC) will be the successor of HEVC, MPEG-5 proposes two approaches to workaround the HEVC licensing fiasco: MPEG-5 Part 1 (EVC) is a solo HEVC replacement from Samsung, while MPEG-5 Part 2 (LC-EVC with LC standing for Low Complexity) is pushed by companies like V-Nova or Divideon. MPEG-5 figures haven’t given any evidence of increased quality up to date, let’s see in a future meeting what they can bring. More here.

Today, I hit the two year mark on the 7 Prayers of St. Bridget. I highly recommend them. They are an opportunity for people to make a commitment to praying these prayers, every day, for 12 years. Most people can’t or just do not commit to prayer. Use these prayers to make a commitment to prayer. Let them be your starting point, from which you go deeper into the life of prayer. They are also a very succinct way to meditate on the passion of our Lord. We don’t take enough time to meditation on our Lord’s passion. If all people meditated on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ for a little time each day, it would change them and change their life. The passion helps us to see that there is something much more important than the many little concerns that we have. We do an awful lot of complaining. Those small things become much small in comparison to our eternal salvation. the 12 prayers of St. Bridget are beautiful. Give them a try! Originally posted on August 20, 2013 Many people have heard of 15 prayers of St. Bridget that focus on the passion of Our Lord. The prayers are said every day for one year. There are a list of 21 promises for those who say the prayers every day for one year. I have done the prayers two times, once while I was in the seminary and again as a priest. Recently, I have read that in 1954, The Congregation of the Holy Office prohibited the publication of the promises since the promises have no merit to them. However, the prayers are a very beautiful meditation on the passion of Our Lord and any meditation on Our Lord’s passion can only do good. A short time ago, I also discovered another set of prayers of St. Bridget called the 7 prayers. The prayers are to be said every day for 12 years. At the end of the 12 years, one would have honored each of the 5,480 blows and wounds of Our Lord’s body. The seven prayers also have promises. I have read that the prayers and promises were approved by Popes Clement XII and Innocent X, but I can’t verify that. Again, even if the promises are not valid, the prayers in themselves are very beautiful and if prayed with devotion and love can only enhance a persons love for Our Lord. I was moved to start the prayers during Adoration almost two years ago, but avoided that inspiration, so I began them on the Feast of St. Laurence, deacon and martyr this year (August 10). I have made a little booklet that can be placed in your favorite prayer book, Bible or breviery. You can download it here. 1. The soul who prays them will suffer no Purgatory. 2. The soul who prays them will be accepted among the Martyrs as though he had spilled his blood for his faith. 3. The soul who prays them can choose three others whom Jesus will then keep in a state of grace sufficient to become holy. 4. No one in the four successive generations of the soul who prays them will be lost. 5. The soul who prays them will be made conscious of his death one month in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Iskiah WHAT IS ISKIAH? ISKIAH is the international exonym for the island of Ischia. Following market research, our team found out there was a problem in identifying the island, which originated from the difficulty to pronounce the word ISCHIA. The first travel journalist who raised the issue was Rick Steves Rick Steves. WHO HAD THE IDEA OF ISKIAH? WHAT IS AN EXONYM? Naples is an exonym, officially used abroad to identify the city of Napoli. Differently from other exonyms, ISKIAH maintains the original sound of the word Ischia, making it readable to a wide segment of the international market: from Anglo-Saxon countries to North-European ones, up to Semitic languages – Hebrew and Arabic – and Indo-European ones, such as Russian, Hindi, Greek. Not bad as a target area! WHY IS SOUND IMPORTANT? Sound is the magic of names and Ischia is a happy case of onomatopoeic name: the sound of the word, if correctly pronounced, conveys precise sensations which identify the island. The relationship a tourist has with a destination is with the name, even before setting foot on it. It’s about spelling and sound, which must be consistent with images, emotions and sensations. WHY CHANGE THE NAME? It is not an issue of changing the name, but rather of adding the spelling ISKIAH to the name Ischia. ISKIAH makes the magic of sound accessible to a vast international audience. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR? We have sparked debate among local, national and international experts, thanks to Campanica's efforts. We have launched the iskiah.com website iskiah.com, with related Facebook and Instagrampages and we have developed a first draft of “Problem Ischia / Solution Iskiah”video, thanks to the commitment of Officina Mirabilis. We have published the first international articles in English and Norwegian, thanks to the efforts of King Goya. We have organized the first discussion event “Ischia proposte di glocal rebranding", held at the Relais Corte degli Aragonesi, where the action of “Ischia Questionnaire” was discussed, thanks to the support of Salvatore Lauro (Alilauro, Ischia 4.0). WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? Our aim is to submit the approval of the name ISKIAH to the appointed political commissions, in order to give Ischia an extra edge in terms of foreign markets. But that’s not enough! At the same time, we want to launch an international marketing operation which will convey every aspect of Ischia – the attractions and typical features of the island – through a questionnaire on how the re-naming of ISKIAH is appreciated. The Ischia Questionnaire will be addressed directly to foreign tourists, identified to attract and retain high quality tourism. WHAT IS THE ISCHIA QUESTIONNAIRE? TheIschia Questionnaire was designed to smoothly mingle the ISKIAH exonym with the Italian Ischia. The objective is to empower the ISKIAH “sonic logo”, making the pronunciation clear and simple to an international audience. A strategic goal is to make Ischia known abroad through a glocal rebranding operation. The international inquiry into the approval of the ISKIAH name will carry out a series of messages and contents that will present Ischia’s tourist offer to foreign targets. The Ischia Questionnaire will be launched via social media through posts and videos , appealing even further via Ads, with the addition of freebie and coupon to invite international users to respond, after registering on the website iskiah.com. Ads are also planned on international travel magazines, which will give further prestige to Ischia and the whole operation. The Ischia Questionnaire is an integrated communication and advertising tool for the island of Ischia, designed for an international target. The Ischia Questionnaire is a glocal tourist marketing operation glocale, which integrates a vast Editorial Content Plan, designed to introduce Ischia to foreign tourists, with a concrete Advertising Media Plan on an international scale. The channels will be: websites with backlink networks, social media, international specialized magazines, which will point to the iskiah.com platform on which we will launch the Ischia Questionnaire, scheduled for 2022. WHAT STARTED IT? Ischia is a difficult name to pronounce for theEnglish-speaking touristsIscla, Aiscia, Aische, are just some of the unpronounceable sounds we heard in the course of our research. The name ISKIAH was designed to simplify the pronunciation for a large part ofEnglish-speaking tourists and not only, who struggle to pronounce the word Ischia with consequent problems identifying Ischia as a brand. Currently the island is experiencing a difficult period, between old tourist targets lost after the introduction of the Euro (such as German tourists) and new international targets that are difficult to loyalize new ones (such as Russian tourists), with the problem of the concept of low cost that undermines the high-quality potential of the Ischia tourist offer. Internationalization is an issue that must be addressed immediately, as it happened to the Veneto Region, which recently changed its claim to “The Land of Venice” in English. A new trend in communication. HOW DO YOU INTEND TO MAKE THIS REAL? Our team is convinced that today the key resides in engaging the users in every phase of a deep communicative cultural and social process. Such a process can provide Ischia/Iskiah with a new "why": an organic, green, smart and stylish mission which - while thriving on the grandeur of the island's past - will be able to understand today's delicate situation and project itself onto the future Ischia / Iskiah – The forever green Isola. Engaging and serving tourists, this is our mission, linking Ischia to the rest of the world, from the means of transport to images and emotions. Team up and look at this from multiple points of view, with a vision capable of defining Ischia’s tourist product, considering the current perception of Ischia as a brand, and at the same time with a view on foreign markets (glocal rebranding operation). The island of Ischia is open to an unprecedented tourism flow and to implement reception throughout the year.

I rarely post links to job here because it seems to me that most postings for library jobs are more or less the same. This one is different. The Open Library project, which I linked to here before, is looking for some new folks. You’d be working with a fun team of geniuses, most notably Karen Coyle who is the chief librarian of the project. Telecommuting an option. Interested? Read the job description, then email Aaron and tell him you heard about it here. Tasks include: working with our chief librarian, Karen Coyle, to implement algorithms to do data merging and other processing tasks; writing scrapers and crawlers to grab various data sources; writing importers to parse this data into something that can be imported into our database; and managing all the people who want to help us with these tasks.

News & Stories Northside Combined High School Ski Team Continues to Grow December 8, 2015 Northside Combined captain Teagan Brogdon can’t remember the last time 15 students from North Minneapolis were at ski practice. “Last year,” he said, “we averaged about 5 skiers per practice. There’s much more interest this year. It’s exciting. And there are many more 9th graders on the team.” He said this in a busy gym, sweating from his workout. There were shouts of encouragement all around him. “Come on, one more pull up!” “5 more pounds.” “30 more seconds. Hold that plank!” There were high fives and tips on form. Everyone was asking for more, and, the thing was, everyone got more. It’s hard to argue with him — this kind of atmosphere is exciting. Next year, Teagan will be going to Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. He plans to start that school’s first ski club — following in the footsteps (or rather, in the classic track) of Patrick Henry Ski Team founder and current North Park University freshman, Joe Clifton. This team invites invention. They teach me new things everyday about the meaning of hard work and giving back to the community where you’re from. The team recently volunteered at Holiday on 44th. I was struck at the number of people in the crowd the team knew. Cousins, friends, classmates — it was incredible to see people of different backgrounds coming together and celebrating where we are from. In a big way, Northside Combined in a celebration of where we are from. We welcome people of all backgrounds and tell them, “yes, you are a skier!” We practice at Theodore Wirth, taking the 7 down Penn and the 32 from Lowry to get here. We know all the secret spots: Tornado Alley, the Challenge Course, Twin Lake. We hand out shirts at Holiday on 44th and wheel out Northside youth’s first-ever bikes at a give-away in the Lucy Lane gym. We are still chomping at the bit to get out on snow and our fingers are crossed and we are knocking on all the wood we can find that we get to race on snow au naturale this year (we’re still packing a lot of red wax, just in case). But, at least we have the wonderful community that is North Minneapolis. At least we have a team that helps each other and is a place of growth and strength for everyone on the team. And, if all else fails, we can become professional snow dancers. We have a lot of practice already. You know where we’ve been — Theo Wirth, up to Camden, across the river to Northeast and back on Plymouth — and here we are going to stay and set down our roots; a ski team from the Northside, for the Northside. So, if you see a whole bunch of rollerskiers who joke around as they V2 around the Parkway or run around Camden to warm up for strength training, just think what we’ve already been thinking. Well, they’re here. Yes. We’re here. And we’re here to stay.

Fox Butterfield - In My Father's House Please note, this event has expired. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist: a pathbreaking examination of our huge crime and incarceration problem that looks at the influence of the family–specifically one Oregon family with a generations-long legacy of lawlessness. The United States currently holds the distinction of housing nearly one-quarter of the world’s prison population. But our reliance on mass incarceration, Fox Butterfield argues, misses the intractable reality: As few as 5 percent of families account for half of all crime, and only 10 percent account for two-thirds. In introducing us to the Bogle family, In My Father’s House invites us to understand crime in this eye-opening new light. Butterfield chronicles the malignant legacy of criminality passed from parents to children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. Examining the long history of the Bogles, a white family, Butterfield offers a revelatory look at criminality that forces us to disentangle race from our ideas about crime and, in doing so, strikes at the heart of our deepest stereotypes. And he makes clear how these new insights are leading to fundamentally different efforts at reform. With his empathic insight and profound knowledge of criminology, Butterfield offers us both the indelible tale of one family’s transgressions and tribulations, and an entirely new way to understand crime in America. Fox Butterfield is the author of China: Alive in the Bitter Sea, which won the National Book Award, and All God’s Children: The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence. He was a member of the New York Times reporting team that won the Pulitzer Prize for its publication of the Pentagon Papers, and served as a bureau chief for the newspaper in Boston, Saigon, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Beijing. He lives in Portland, Oregon. Presented in conjunction with the Journal of Alta California Additional time info: 4:00 – 5:30 pm 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera, CA 94925

Looking for a quick way to determine your heat requirements? The graph above provides a rough idea of the amount of BTUs required to heat rooms of different enclosure levels. Note: As a rule of thumb, 1BTU per cubic foot will give you a 10 degree temperature rise. However, heating requirements are governed by the type of temporary enclosure that exists. For example, less heat is required for a tight enclosure while more is needed for loose enclosures. Structural Enclosure: Windows, doors, and elevators installed, walls exits (not dry-walled) - no partitioning* Structural Enclosure: Windows, doors, and elevators installed, walls exits (not dry-walled) - medium partitioning* Structural Enclosure: Tight roof and completed walls without insulation, window and door enclosed with canvas or plastic - medium to heavy partitioning* Structural Enclosure: Tight roof and nearly completed walls; door, window and other openings covered with plastic or canvas - medium partitioning* Structural Enclosure: Tight roof and nearly completed walls; door, window and other openings covered with plastic or canvas - heavy partitioning* Structural Enclosure: Tight roof, sheet plastic or canvas walls - space is clear of significant partitioning* *When heat is supplied from the beginning of the heating season, or if a space is well heated, partitioning isn't a vital factor. The heat requirements calculator provides general guidelines and is based upon a temperature rise from 22º-72ºF. On-the-job experience is a factor in final estimates. A job log is helpful for comparison of the estimates and final requirements, and facilitates estimates at similar structures. Frozen spaces require additional heating capacity to reach the target temperature. The amount of frost in a structure determines the additional heating capacity, which can be terminated when frost and water vapor are no longer factors. Contact us with any questions you may have about the heat requirements calculator.

The curious case of Rachel Dolezal has sparked furious commentary about her deceit, her arrogance, her narcissism. But I see something more in her strange tale: a reminder that race is but a social construct. As geneticists told us years ago, there really isn’t any such thing as race. Human beings are 99.9 percent genetically identical, Craig Venter and Francis Collins, who led research on the human genome, announced in 2000. As Duana Fullwiley, a medical anthropologist, has put it, “There is no genetic basis for race.” Still, human beings are deeply invested in the concept. Our lizard brains are attuned to superficial differences — hair texture, skin color, language. Tens of thousands of years ago, Homo sapiens depended on their ability to distinguish friend from foe in a flash. If another creature standing upright and using opposable thumbs looked like me, he was a friend. If he didn’t, well, whack him with a stick. And, unhappily, we’ve not evolved much beyond that basic instinct. But primal identification of “the other” is no longer necessary for survival. In fact, in the 21st century, it impedes human progress. Look no further than the massacre that took place on Wednesday evening at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. An assailant opened fire during prayer meeting — during prayer meeting — and killed nine people. Police have identified the suspect as a young white man, Dylann Storm Roof, who allegedly spewed racist stereotypes and championed white supremacy. They have labeled the atrocity a hate crime. That’s one of the more horrific examples of the racism that is fueled by fear and hatred of the other, but it stands out only for its extremes. Every day, discrimination overwhelms routine encounters — between police and civilians, between teachers and pupils, between employers and job applicants. And I’d be remiss if I suggested that bigotry is a habit practiced only by whites. While institutional racism is the province of the powerful — and, in the United States, the powerful are still mostly white — discrimination based on difference is a human tradition, passed on from one generation to the next, among black families, brown families, tan families, pink families. A Muslim woman in a hijab, a group of Latinas speaking Spanish, a black man in dreadlocks — all draw an instinctive inner scowl from some person who looks or sounds a bit different. So Dolezal shook us up a bit. We couldn’t tell by looking. If she could be so authentically “black” as to fool her constituents at the Spokane chapter of the NAACP despite the fact that she was born “white,” doesn’t that tell us something about the superficiality of these differences? Now, I’m not excusing the lady’s lies. You can hardly champion social justice while standing on a foundation of fraud. There is no excuse for her mendacity, no matter how noble she believed her motives to be. But her story ought to remind us just how flimsy this business of race really is. Even “black culture” and “white culture” are permeable concepts, easily penetrated. When I was younger, stereotypes that attempted to limit black accomplishments were common. The list of our supposed shortcomings was long — and absurd. Black people couldn’t be distance runners (did anyone tell the Kenyans?), couldn’t play tennis (you’ve heard of Serena Williams), or play golf (well, Tiger Woods used to). And certainly we weren’t smart enough to be astrophysicists, Neil deGrasse Tyson. And while black Americans didn’t have the cultural cachet to invent a long list of limits for whites, we responded with a few stereotypes of our own. As just one example, we believed that white teens couldn’t dance. They didn’t have rhythm. That myth, too, has been exploded by any number of young white rockers — and multiple contestants on those competitive talent shows. Humankind is not yet ready to acknowledge what science stands ready to teach us: Race does not exist. We seem to have a primal need to divide, to separate, to exclude. Categories provide us some strange comfort. But the race-tinged sagas playing out on the evening news ought to force us to think about the ways in which those categories limit us all.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but boy are people gonna be excited for the Tiffany-toned Air Jordan 13 Island Green. Showing shades of the SB Dunk that’s still coveted by collectors in OG low and retro high form, the panther paw-inspired Air Jordan 13 gets revamped with a shiny black leather upper reminiscent of the Nick Tershay take from ’05. To that point, accents dubbed ‘Island Green’ serve as a modern misnomer for ‘Tiffany Blue’ if we do say so ourselves. The Air Jordan 13 Island Green has a reported release date of November 9, 2019. While the first leaks showed classic hologram branding, new photos reveal metallic hardware in place of the burst logo bubble. Peep photos from our own Rob Mata above and below and look for these release at select JB accounts such as Sneaker Politics. Air Jordan 13 Island Green Release Date: November 9, 2019

Pride has traditionally been celebrated each June and this year, Angel Locsin showed her support for the LGBTQ+ community on Instagram. She posted an illustration of the Pride flag (a rainbow), with the text “proud ally” on top. Allies are known in the community as heterosexual people who support the community. Locsin captioned her post with, “In a world with so much hatred, everyone should be allowed to feel safe & loved🌈” View this post on Instagram One of the most anticipated events of the LGBTQ+ community each year is the Pride March, which is typically held in June. The event commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, which paved the way for modern LGBTQ+ social movements. In the Philippines, Pride has been held as early 1996 and it has steadily increased in popularity through the years. Last year saw the biggest crowd with 70,000 attendees, becoming the largest and oldest Pride demonstration in Southeast Asia. What do you think? Share your thoughts below!

Move over Snap Chat, there is a new darling of the social media world. Although not completely entrenched in mainstream use yet, in a couple months I think this little app will be on the iPhones of everyone who happens to own one. I give you Vine. Vine is a video sharing application for the iPhone that takes six second videos. Yes, a very basic premise and I am sure many of you can rattle off a couple other video sharing apps that do similar things. I used cinemagram for a long time, an app that at first glance might seem like Vine, but not really. Vine differentiates itself because you film your videos in a “start and stop” type of fashion. You have six seconds to film whatever you want but you can space those six seconds over two days or two years if you want. You see, to start creating your video you push the screen once in the actual app. It will then start filming. You let one second go by and then you hit the screen again and it stops it. You then press the screen again to resume filming…and then stop…and then start again. Of course you don’t have to start and stop over and over, by all means you can let the video run for the whole six seconds and post as is. But Vine is so cool because you can tell a story in six seconds. Let me just give a couple examples. Let’s say you were cooking homemade pizza. You could take a half second shot of each step in the process of making that pizza. You can create a video that starts with a countertop full of ingredients that goes to a plain crust that goes to a crust with sauce that goes to a crust with sauce and cheese that goes to a crust with sauce and cheese in an oven that goes to a perfectly baked pizza at the end….all in six seconds. Or today I made the early morning drive from Spokane to Missoula. During the drive I shot different parts of the trip, culminating in a six second video that took me from Spokane to the Montana border. However, not all of your Vine videos have to be so cut and dry and make perfect chronological sense like the two examples I just provided. The best Vine videos are the ones that incorporate random shots, utilize the actual iPhone user himself/herself, and bring an element of humor to the action. But let me not get too ahead of myself, let me explain the app a little more. When you post a video it will go to a home feed type thing just like any other social media service. You scroll down and you view all the other videos that people you follow have uploaded. Videos are stacked vertically on top of each other with only one video fitting into the screen of the iPhone at a time. Whatever video you have situated in your iPhone screen will play. Complete with full sound, the video will start and finish…and then start again! Videos on Vine loop endlessly and that is a good thing because it takes a few views to capture everything that is jam packed into a six second video. Like other social services, hash tags play a large role. You can search any topic that strikes your fancy and watch endless six second videos that others have created on that said subject. Just another way to pass time on your iPhone. As I briefly mentioned, Vine comes with sound. This allows you to narrate your videos. With so many different shots you can produce, you can do some really fun things with narration to make yourself sound pretty cool. If you wanted, you could do a Vine video with 12 different shots and say one word for each of those 12 shots. The end result is a pretty trippy sounding video. Vine will skyrocket in the social media world because it allows users to be creative. The amount of room that is available for people to experiment and let their artsy juices flow is on the same level as Instagram…perhaps even vaster. The limits are just endless on what all you can do. I know there are many talented and creative people out there that don’t even know that Vine exists but when they do, they will create some amazing content. While there are many talented and creative people out there who don’t know about Vine’s existence there are also many people in general out there who don’t know about Vine’s existence. Probably about 5-7% of my social media friends (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) are on Vine. Of that 5-7%, only about half are active on it. I used to be in that half that had an account set up but didn’t touch it but I recently came to grips with the power and intrigue of it. I now post regularly. Just today I created a Vine account for our athletic department. Hear me now, this app will soon explode. A couple drawbacks with Vine: First off, it is only available to iPhone users so it definitely excludes a large population of people. Secondly, you can only take shots from Vine’s video player. Thus you can’t import footage that you took with the standard iPhone video feature. But this app is so young and promising!! The future is bright and improvements will be made. I recommend that if you have an iPhone you should definitely jump on the bandwagon, download the app, and start Vining! Don’t Blink.

Secession Era Editorials Project Furman University Department of History |HOME > John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry >Natchez, Mississippi, Courier [Opposition] (18 November 1859)| Natchez, Mississippi, Courier [Opposition] (18 November 1859) The Secretary of War, as we have already stated, seems to have had timely notice of the plot which led to the late outbreak at Harper's Ferry, but the warning being anonymous, it was regarded, we suppose, as unworthy of attention. Perhaps, says the Mobile Tribune, it would have met the same fate if it had not been anonymous. History is full of such examples. The authorities in British India had received more than one intimation of what was to happen months before the breaking out of the mutiny at Meerut; and the horrors of Cawnpore and Delhi might have been averted by timely precaution. Julius Ceasar was forewarned of his fate when on his way to the capitol. The British nobleman who received anonymous information of the Gunpowder plot was wiser. The truth is, continues the Tribune, there is a false pride that deters men from appearing to suspect of uncertain danger. The dread of ridicule, or of the imputation of timidity, is so strong that we do not like to incur even the appearance of apprehension. It is a weakness, nevertheless. May not a useful lesson be drawn from these It proves very clearly that the folly and madness of such a plot, considered with reference to its ultimate results, is no reason for treating the premonitions of it with contempt or incredulity. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure," and vigilance is the price, not only of liberty, but of safety. It so happened, that on the very morning on which the fight occurred at Harper's Ferry, we were in company with a friend, when the conversation turned upon the subject of the spasmodic apprehension that sometimes attacks a community, with reference to just such an occurrence as that which Brown attempted to get up. Our friend related a case in point, from his own experience, and appeared to regard it as indicating an undue readiness to give way to suspicion. Of course we should condemn anything like a nervous anxiety, and above all any disposition to attach suspicion of treason or conspiracy to individuals, without the most palpable proof. In fact, there is already too great proneness to this in some parts of the country. But at the same time a judicious vigilance is necessary to the welfare of any community, however peaceful, so long as human nature continues to be corrupt; nor should any warning, such as that received by the Secretary of War, be regarded as necessarily insignificant. A madman, or a set of madmen, let loose, may be very sure of being eventually and speedily checked, but it is better to check them before they are turned loose.[<<Previous Editorial][Next Editorial>>]

Is it the summer already? It certainly feels like it. It’s hot and humid and when that’s the case you should certainly keep your cool. I created another cocktail recipe that I’m really proud of. Actually it happens that I created it on Saturday and because I was invited to a bloggers lunch and later on drove to Salzburg I had to do all that in the morning. So my breakfast consisted of this cocktail. (Don’t worry that’s not normal for me and not something I’m actually looking forward too). But: if you still think it tastes fantastic when you have to make yourself to drink it, it’s really good. That’s how I knew: I just made the perfect rhubarb gin fizz recipe. All you need for one glass is: – 4 ml rhubarb syrup (make your own!) – 2 cl gin – soda water – ice cubes – a rhubarb stem Put the syrup in the glas and add the gin. Fill it up with soda water until the glas is full and drop in the ice cubes. Enjoy responsible! (Maybe not in the morning.) The best gin for this is the Tanquery Rang Pur. It’s a gin made with Rang Pur limes and just adds a little more freshness to the whole drink. Since it tastes delicious and of course I made more of that rhubarb syrup from last year, this is going to be my summer cocktail for this year. Just imagine having a glas of this with a little umbrella and straw. Slurping away with your best friends and while the sun sets. The cooling breeze after a hot day. Mmmmh. I just wish I had another glas. Any drinks that you like to drink at warm summer nights? Now. Carry on!

Click Here to view this article as a PDF. Author: Kristenson, Joel Last Updated: 2018-05-10 This article will teach you how to query for a list of contacts (Donors/Voters) in your database and then set an attribute for the entire list at once. In this particular example I set an attribute called “VIP Donor” to any donor that gave over $10,000 at one time, using this mass update utility. IMPORTANT! This article assumes you already know how to create Attribute Folders, and Attribute Items. If you’ve never created attributes before, it’s covered in our free weekly intro training class which can sign up for here. Tip: Using this process you can perform a wide variety of tasks such as: Tracking which contacts have received certain mass mailings such as Christmas Cards, Appeal Letters, Pledge Letters, etc. Navigate to the Contacts (Voter/Donor) list. Build and run your search query. In this example I queried for everyone who’s given over 10k dollars at one time, which populated 16 contact records as shown in the image below. If you don’t want to set your attribute for certain contacts in the list you can uncheck their records from the Include column. In my example I unchecked two from my list of 16 giving me a final count of 14. Click the Edit drop-down menu from the search tool strip, follow Set, and select Set Attributes. If necessary, expand the folder that contains the attribute you would like to assign en masse. In this example I chose an attribute called “VIP Donor (over 10k at-one-time)”. Click [OK] to proceed. You’ll be prompted with a warning message showing how many contacts are about to be updated, click [OK] again to begin the update. When the process is complete (which could take a bit of time if you’re updating 100k+ contact records) it will display the results. To query for people tagged with your attribute, open a new contact list, check the corresponding attribute box under the Attribute tab, and click [Search]. In my example I searched by the same attribute used in previous steps, which populates the 14 people who are now part of that category. You’re now finished with these steps. The related resources below discuss similar features in the program, there’s also a link to an article on rolling back transactions if something goes awry during your mass updates. TIP: There are a lot of other mass updates you can perform from the Edit menu on the different lists throughout the system i.e. Addresses, Households, and the Voters/Donors. Another popular application of this utility would be to *remove* attributes from a particular list of contacts.

Bon Iver Collaborator Gordi Features On Ambient Electronic Artist Willaris. K’s New Single – ‘INDIFFERENT Australian electronic and ambient producer Willaris. K has released his first-ever track to incorporate vocals, featuring the formidable fellow Australian talent Gordi. Taking a transformative sonic turn with the emotive ballad ‘INDIFFERENT’, Willaris crafts a layer of moody piano scales and melodic basslines that complement the Bon Iver and Troye Sivan collaborator’s brooding vocals. WATCH: Willaris. K, Gordi – INDIFFERENT The track was originally conceived at Willaris’ home in NSW, then fine-tuned on Gordi’s farm in rural Australia, and finally perfected alongside renowned Sigur Ros collaborator and film composer Alex Somers at Shangri La Studios in Malibu, inside Bob Dylan’s iconic old tour bus. “I wrote the instrumental in 2017 as an experiment to see where I could take the music sonically. I wanted to explore it for film but also explore the more vulnerable side of Willaris. K. I melted when Sophie started singing the first line when we were recording.” Willaris. K “Jack and I talked about collaborating when we were lying on the floor of the living room in my apartment in 2017 listening to music at 5 AM. The next day he sent me this song titled “Piano Man.” It had the beautiful piano part you hear in the song and it made me so sad. So, I wrote a sad story to go with it about feeling nothing and called it “INDIFFERENT.” Gordi In line with Willaris’ recent releases, the track is accompanied by a stunning visualizer from the multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer, Chris Kore. Reflective of her interests in exploring the ever-changing mediated reality and its influence on human perception, ‘INDIFFERENT’ is a gorgeous landscape of 3D scanned dancers moving between planes of light and geometric patterns. Willaris. K’s debut release on Astralwerks, ‘5 O’CLOCK / PAST LIGHT’, arrived as an A and B-side record, showcasing his versatility as a rising ambient electronic tastemaker and was met with support from Mixmag, DJ Mag, and London In Stereo. Earlier this month he commissioned TSHA, Ghost Culture and Juno Mamba, artists who are also known for their textural sound, to reimagine ‘5 O’Clock’ in a collection of atmospheric remixes. In light of the recent bushfires in Australia, the remix package coincided with his announcement of a benefit show in Melbourne. The fundraiser will be held at Seaworks in Melbourne on Sunday 9th February, with Willaris waiving performance fees and donating all merch proceeds to the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities. Showing the generosity of the Australian community, tickets sold out in under 20 minutes. Australian singer, songwriter and producer Gordi has worked with an impressive list of creators including musical collaborations with Troye Sivan, Bon Iver, Julien Baker and The Tallest Man On Earth, as well as tours with Sam Smith, Fleet Foxes, Of Monsters and Men, and The National. Her debut album ‘Reservoir’ was nominated for triple j’s ‘Album Of The Year’ in 2017, and she performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk series in 2018. Gordi is a force to be reckoned with not only because of her versatility as an artist but also because she is now a qualified doctor, having just completed her medical studies over the course of six years between touring internationally and recording. Having just announced US and Mexico tour dates, new music from Gordi is expected this year, and she recently released a new track ‘The Cost’, with proceeds benefiting Australian Bushfire relief efforts. Being from a farm in regional Australia, issues connected to drought, bushfire and climate change are close to her heart.

ECN members gather in Austin for annual national conference (April 2014) Members of the Employers Counsel Network (ECN) met in Austin, Texas, April 23-25, to network, socialize, and gain insights into employment law trends and issues. Attorneys Michael P. Maslanka, Scott Agthe, and Mark Flora of host firm Constangy Brooks & Smith, LLP helped fill the agenda with expert speakers who addressed a wide range of topics. Maslanka facilitated a panel discussion on jury selection. Panel members included employees’ trial attorney Paul Schorn (http://schornlaw.com/), attorney and trial consultant Robert R. Swafford (http://www.strikeforcause.com/), and jury consultant Suzanne L. Davis, PhD (http://www.edgellc.com/about-us/suzanne-davis/). The panelists shared their methods for identifying and eliminating potentially hostile jurors and asking questions that will reveal which jurors might be leaders and followers when it comes to deliberations. They offered advice for effective opening statements as well as pointers on when to admit wrongdoing and prepping witnesses. Donna Serdula, author of LinkedIn Makeover: Professional Secrets to a POWERFUL LinkedIn Profile, shared her five tips for maximizing impact and results on LinkedIn. She admonished the audience to view the social network as a professional tool and to look at it strategically, thinking in terms of your target audience and what they need and how they search. Her tips included getting a professional headshot, ditching the “resume” approach, and making as many connections as possible. She explained that LinkedIn is based on three degrees of separation. When you search, you are searching only your network (including 2nd and 3rd connections). So the more connections you have, the more you get when you search and the more people can find you in their search. Economist Daniel S. Hamermesh, Ph.D., spoke on research that shows that attractive people are more successful. He reported that while beauty may be subjective, research suggests that we tend to agree on it. Hamermesh suggested that beauty can affect which career people choose and even what specialty attorneys choose and offered evidence that better looking people earn more. To that end, he addressed the issues of legislation creating a protected class and employment litigation based on appearance, asking attendees to consider the question, “How is beauty, or lack thereof, different than any other characteristic that you are born with that you can’t change?” DeDe Church (http://www.dedechurch.com) of DeDe Church & Associates, LLC offered the group tips on conducting investigations and looking for independent investigators. She warned ECN members that she’s noticed a trend of attorneys who aren’t paying attention to workplace investigations, thinking their part doesn’t start until later. Church then outlined how to conduct and document investigation interviews. She then used an entertaining and informative hypothetical case to illustrate strategy calls that must be made and how to evaluate the answers employees give. David S. Fortney, of Fortney & Scott, LLC, gave a candid report of agency enforcement and White House strategy regarding employment issues. He noted that previously unheard of federal agencies have been elevated with the White House’s use of directives to make changes with federal contractors that it has been unable to accomplish through legislation due to opposition in Congress. Fortney offered insights into the politics and the processes that affect employment legislation and regulations and gave his predictions for the mid-term elections and the effects those results would have. For the final session of the conference, Flora moderated a panel of in-house general counsel attorneys, including Kylie Crawford TenBrook (Bestwestern), Shawn Greenburg (GC/owner for Pluckers), and David Hoskins (Excel Energy based in Denver). The three all emphasized cost and the bottom line as important and implored the group to try to think of things from the business perspective. Greenburg asserted that sound legal advice isn’t always the best business decision and said he would rather hear “these are the pitfalls that will cost you real money and these are the things you don’t need to spend too much on.” Crawford TenBrook stressed that communication is important and that she wants outside counsel to know her business, “I don’t want to have to reeducate you every time we talk.” Hoskins spoke of “fee pressure” and noted that he appreciated attorneys who share information, are willing to be creative, and “communicate the bad facts early.”

A ‘neural bypass’ is being used to help paralyzed individuals regain some movement. The journal Nature has reported on some key research which is allowing a quadriplegic accident victim to use the activity of his motor cortex to move their muscles and move their paralyzed limbs. The Toronto Star has done a great report on the matter and it’s worth having a look at the video. Ian Burkhart was 19 when her dove a shallow dive and broke his neck causing catastrophically injured with doctors telling him he would never move his hands or legs again. Now researchers at the University of Ohio have had Mr. Burkhart working in their lab for 15 months. They have trained him, and placed a neuromuscular electrical stimulation cuff on his forearm that decodes signals from his brain. When he thinks about moving his hand it now moves. He can pick up things like a bottle, or swipe a credit card. This technology is only in the lab yet, but it’s hoped that it can be used in the future to help victims of stroke, TBI, or other trauma to regain a level independence that was previously considered unrealistic.

We served 300 members of the community and by the end of the event our staff was fully engulfed in the celebrations. - BC Lions Fan Fest Day - BC Seniors Games - YMCA Camp Deka - Chris Rose Therapy Center for Autism - School District #73 (Heavy Metal Rocks) - Howling Coyote Education Fund - Canadian Cancer Society (Relay For Life) - Interior Community Services (Courtyard Childcare) - Kamloopa Powwow - Kamloops Broncos - Kamloops Heat - Kamloops Hospice Association - Logan Lake Wellness Health & Youth Society - MS Society of Canada (MS Walk 2013) - Tahltan Band Council Chief’s Ride 2013 - TRU Drive the Trades Scholarship Fund Calgary Flood 2013 Horizon North Camps & Catering provided their “kitchen on wheels” unit and personnel to help Calgarians affected by the June, 2013 floods. The kitchen was set up in the hard-hit neighbourhood of Bowness. Over a six-day period, we served approximately 6,500 hot meals to flood victims and volunteers who worked tirelessly from sunup to sundown with few breaks. In addition to providing much needed meals and snacks, our Horizon North team pitched in to help wherever needed, which included loading and unloading truckloads of donated supplies, directing traffic, assisting in the warehouse, delivering food and supplies, and even changing flat tires. Easter Seals Camp Horizon Easter Seals Camp Horizon is a one-of-a-kind camp for kids with disabilities that has been operating since 1965 in Kananaskis Country. While our similar names are just a coincidence, it is an outstanding facility run by an amazing group of people and Horizon North is proud to support them. In 2013 Horizon North donated and installed a modular structure for storage of their extensive camp gear, and the Horizon North manufacturing management group built an access ramp during a team building retreat at the camp. In the summer of 2014 a team from our corporate office served ice cream for campers and staff for a camp wrap up and our finance team joined in with the efforts of the CBC “Do Crew” to help with the annual camp clean up. Relay for Life For many years, Horizon North has provided the food to nourish the participants at the Fort McMurray Relay for Life. Our team of chefs and cooks have worked around the clock to provide first rate meals including a survivors dinner banquet, dinner for the participants, midnight snacks and breakfast. With a total tally donation of over $150,000 over the past 5 years, Horizon North is proud to be the main sponsor at this event that touches many lives. Horizon North Provides Much-Needed Shelter Horizon North is the recipient of the 2016 National HR Challenge Award, presented by Canadian HR Reporter and Thomson Reuters, for our efforts during the Fort McMurray wildfires.

Listed in: Ashram Stayed at the Ashram in August 2008 I just spent the month of August volunteering for a non-governmental organization in Vrindavan. I had seen the Jai Siyaram website before my arrival and wanted to visit, even though my organization already arranged for my accommodation elsewhere. I practice hatha yoga every morning, so I was particularly interested in joining any classes that the ashram may have been holding. I did not make it to visit the ashram until about 2/3 of my stay in Vrindavan was over. However, once I visited the ashram I left my pre-arranged accommodations and stayed at Shree Bindu Sewa Sansthan until my return to the U.S.! Swami-ji and Yashendu were in Germany and I was the only guest. I was able to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and energy of the ashram while being taken care of in absolutely every respect by Purnendu and the ashram family and staff. The beautiful ashram gardens were a constant source of inspiration, and it was uplifting to see the constant care given to the plants and trees by Goswami Sri Balak Ram Sharan and his gardening crew. Evening strolls through this small bit of paradise were especially wonderful after a long, hot day! I was able to observe the goings-on of the school daily food distribution. I was also invited to help the ashram in its charitable act of distributing food to those affected by the rising waters of the Yamuna in Vrindavan. The accommodations and food were wonderful, my every need was anticipated and catered to, and it was all permeated by a wonderful sense of love. There were no yoga classes since I was the lone guest, but that didn't stop me from having my own sumptuous private practice every morning! This was really a wonderful introduction to the work that goes on at Shree Bindu Sewa Sansthan. I am now very excited to both deepen my knowledge of the spiritual and charitable initiatives taken up here and deepen my friendships with the Jai Siyaram family. I would recommend Shree Bindu Sewa Sansthan to anyone wishing to visit India, Swami-ji or both! You may not be so lucky as to get all of the attention I received as an only guest, but I guarantee that you will feel completely welcome and well-cared for.

In choosing what to outsource, a good first step is to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of what it would take to perform various export-related tasks in-house or by using the services of external suppliers. This analysis should be carried out in all of the company’s main functional areas: production, marketing, logistics and finance. Each of these areas must consider its tasks in the export process, the associated resource demands upon the company, opportunity costs, and the estimated costs of performing those tasks using external suppliers. The costs of using external suppliers may be lower or they may be higher (as can happen when using specialist skills). Find and keep the core of your business At this point, the analysis is only partially complete. Managers also need to consider costs and benefits in other terms. Improvements (or deterioration) in the performance of tasks need to be identified. For example, using a foreign market research firm may offer the benefit of greater sensitivity to local market influences. Conversely, use of a trading company would result in a loss of market intelligence. These benefits and costs are admittedly hard to quantify, but nevertheless need to be taken into account. The strategic dimension must also enter the analysis. The firm must not lose sight of what business it is in and what tasks are considered core to that business. It may then focus on what tasks may or may not be outsourced, depending on the supply of services and the results of analysis. For example, if a firm is a leader in the design and marketing of shoes and seeks a global presence, it may want to devote its limited resources to investing in world class designers, tools and advertising. The logistical infrastructure to deliver product, and the manufacturing capacity required in various parts of the world, can be supplied externally. Selecting external suppliers In selecting suppliers, it is always a good idea to develop a short list of potential candidates. Then evaluate their services according to established performance criteria. The supplier that provides the best added value should be selected. Value provided by the supplier can be measured by a ratio of price and quality. As price increases, quality should increase at a faster rate. These price and quality criteria should be both qualitative and quantitative and the supplier selected for overall fit and not just for price. Perform background checks on the company (of credit and reputation) in order to minimize company risk. Then select the supplier that represents the best value package to the firm. However appealing a supplier, the manager should ensure that core competencies remain inside the company. Use these tips when selecting your external supplier Some of the desirable qualities to look for in selecting external suppliers include: - a desire to learn about the factors that affect the exporter’s business, priorities, etc.; - efforts to improve service, with the goal of creating a seamless relationship between exporter and supplier; - depth of knowledge in dealing with the industry (e.g. a customs broker experienced in dealing with perishable goods) and the experience to anticipate problems before they occur (e.g. an experienced market researcher would know that respondents in certain countries answer questions in the way that they think the researcher wants, which skews results); - investment in technologies and personnel to facilitate the transmission of information, whether it be documentation, research results or market reports; - ability to grow with the client, whether in a large target country, region or globally; - not dealing with competing products or services: in the case of freight forwarders and logistical firms this may not be such an issue, but it most definitely would be for trading houses, distributors and agents; and - readiness, interest and ability to feedback information on target countries; without such feedback the firm is isolated from its international business. Supplier selection is a two-way activity and both parties have to be comfortable to make a collaborative relationship work. What element of your business could become more efficient if you partnered with an external supplier? What criteria would be most important to you when looking for one?

We’ve managed to snag a rare interview with the elusive Jonathan Brookes, author of the novella Relic. Jonathan has been “on the run” for the past year year, having been involved in exposing a covert military operation to breed super soldiers. Relic essentially documents how the project was ultimately exposed. Let’s get to the questions: Q: Can you please tell us briefly a little about yourself and your writing? How would you like us to introduce you? A: I’m not sure what there is to tell. I’ve been involved in many high-tech and bio-engineering projects over the last thirty years. I can’t discuss some of them because of non-disclosure agreements with companies. Given the, ah, situation that I’m already in, I don’t need to tempt fate any further. I never intended to write a book. The information essentially fell into my lap; I had to do something to expose the project for what it was. However, I didn’t want to end up in the government’s cross-hairs, like Edward Snowden. Having it published as a novella, rather than simply leaking the documents seemed to be a better path. It gets the truth out there. Q: Where can people find your work? (Besides ABSW ;)–though they should totally check here first!) A: Well, Mike (Polia), the guy who actually turned all the documentation into the novella, has managed to get the book placed into a few local bookstores: Annie’s Book Stop, 18 Main St, Hudson, MA Willow Books and Café, 279 Great Rd, Acton, MA Hudson Art & Framing, 18 Main St, Hudson, MA (at the rotary) It’s also available at the ARRL bookstore and, of course, Amazon. I’ve heard that he’s also been selling copies at amateur radio flea markets. Q: How can we follow your work, share your awesomeness, or otherwise stalk you in a totally non-creepy way? A: Well, Mike set-up a twitter account for me: @JBrookesAuthor. However, given the circumstances, I’ve had very little opportunity to actually post any tweets. I think I have about 8 or 9 followers, mostly writers and some scientists who are interested in the science and technology that’s been exposed. Q: For readers unfamiliar with your work, how would you describe what you write? What can readers expect from Relic? A: Well, this is a tough question because I didn’t actually write the story. Mike (Polia) did the writing based on all the documentation and data that I had uncovered about the project. I did read what was finally published; Mike managed to send me a copy of the book. I have to say that he did a decent job turning all the documents and handwritten notes that I had into an entertaining story without losing the core facts of what was going on with this secret project. The book is fairly fast-paced, moving along to tell the story without meandering down those subplots that a much larger novel might do. He kept to the meat of the story. I liked it; my stuff didn’t get lost in translation, so to speak. Q: What kind of research went into writing this book? What is your favorite research story? What cool facts and findings didn’t make it into the book, but you loved discovering? A: Most of the effort was actually in, ah, “liberating” the project documentation from their hiding places. A lot of it was actually on paper; not electronic copies, so that made it more difficult to sort through. The whole process was a discovery experience. At first, I didn’t realize what I had stumbled upon. I began to follow the trail of documentation, lab reports, hand-written notes, over the course of many months. I didn’t realize what was really going on until after I collected and reviewed most of the reports. It was mind-boggling. Mike managed to get most of the info incorporated into the book, but there were some missing pieces of information. For example, Julie, the woman in the epilogue, has gone missing. I think Mike is trying to track her down to find out what happened to her and the baby. Also, the two operatives who deceived Julie, Captain Robert Gordon and Lieutenant Mary Sullivan, have also gone off the grid. Those people probably know more information about the project that has not yet come out. Q; What character did you love or hate the most while writing? And why? A: I’ll have to say the Blake Farnsworth was the most intriguing character in the story. He closely resembles one of the real persons involved in the whole effort to uncover the truth about the human cloning that was going on. Colonel Birchwood was probably my other favorite. He’s a tormented man, existing, yet not really living life. Oh, and then there’s General Holbrooke. It’s amazing that there are still folks like him walking around in these modern times. Q; How important has the New England setting been to your writing? A: The New England setting has been very important, not as a setting for the story, but as a real refuge for me. Once it was discovered that I had uncovered these secrets, I had to go into hiding, but in a place where I could survive on my own and still do the research that I needed to do. Northern New England actually has some distinct advantages for someone trying to keep a low profile. There’s a nice balance of wilderness and small towns. Folks tend to be helpful and neighborly without prying. There’s game for hunting, good fishing, the winters are tolerable, and the Canadian border is very close. I won’t say which cities I visited, but it was very helpful when I had to connect with civilization in order to use the Internet. Q: What else can we expect from you in the near future? A: I’m hoping to get my life back, really. It’s not that the government is “officially” after me, but I’m always looking over my shoulder. The real danger is actually from the operatives who work for F&G (Farnsworth & Grayson; the private military contractor). They’re really, really pissed about the whole thing. They lost a lot of money, Some of them went to jail. Others just disappeared. They put a price on my head. Q: What has been your favorite adventure during your writing career? A: This whole experience has been an adventure. I’d like my life back, please. Q: Writers very often have furry or feathered or otherwise non-human companions to “help” them through their work. Do you? What do you have? How do they “help” (or, “not-help”) with your writing? A: Well, hiding out in a cabin in the backwoods of northern Maine — lots of wildlife. Mostly not helpful. Critters are always finding their way into my cabin, making a mess, stealing food. Of course, a few times they became food; I’ve acquired a taste for squirrel over the past few months. Q: Do you have any favorite foods or drinks that must be in the vicinity (or must be avoided) while you’re writing or editing a piece of work? A: Single malt scotch. Preferably a Bruichladdich or a Highlan Park. A: That’s more a question for Mike (Polia). He has a really good imagination and can spin a story around a set of facts. It’s a nice skill. He can hide the truth in plain sight behind an entertaining story. Most people would dismiss it as fiction, but there is truth buried in there. Thank you so much for sharing your time and this important information with us Mr. Brookes! We here at Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester wish you the best of luck in getting your life back after this whole experience.
