A gal can never have too many baskets, can she??? Good thing I know how to sew them up faster than a trip to the store, lol!
This week I had the chance to play with the overcast feature on my new Janome 14000 (there are 5 different overcasting stitches!) and sew up 3 new FQ Fold Up baskets using some gorgeous Bwindi Forest fabric from Blend.
In my Fat Quarter Sized Fold Up Basket tutorial I show you 3 different ways to finish the edges on your baskets... and here's one more way. I used the double overcast stitch U15 on my sewing machine. It's very likely that your machine has a similar stitch and even came with the foot that you need.
For my machine, this is foot 'M' that is specifically for use with the overcasting stitches because it has a fabric guide and 2 'stitch fingers' that keep the thread from wrapping the edge too tightly.
One of my favorite things about these baskets is that they open up completely flat when I'm not using them. But that's like never because I need a basket for everything! :)
Okay, your turn! What have you been sewing this week?, |

I promise I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet. 🙂 Last week I was at the beach with the family. My parents have been renting a house on Fripp Island, SC since I was in elementary school. The last time we were there was 2 years ago when I was training for my second marathon. It was hot! Really hot, and being the beach, it was humid. I couldn’t even make it 3 miles. This time I was going to make it, and ended up having an awesome week of running! After biking and driving around the island I had a little fun on my 6 mile run with some of the house signs. Here we go!
The street we were staying on. No irony at all here…
what can you do other than laugh?
Marco? Has anyone seen Marco?
deers (the natives!) and salty toes…
It was a pretty awesome turn out point! Morning sunrise 🙂
This is one of my favorites. I kept thinking of the twitter band of salty bananas for some reason…
And across the street (not making it up!)
Sums it up pretty well don’t you think?

Love it when you post pictures from your runs!! Too funny! |
Don liability in rendering an opinion or offering information about one of their employees. You’ll be lucky if you’re able to verify how much money your prospective tenant earns.
But enough of the banter – let’s get down to business. First of all, is it necessary for you to actually verify your applicant’s employment? After all, they could easily lose their job the next day. The point is that – somewhere along the way – everyone has a lapse in employment (being laid off, resignation, termination). There is one theory that if your applicant has been able to demonstrate over time the ability to satisfy their obligations regardless of the ups and down, does it really matter at this particular point whether or not they have a job?
Whether it’s a tightening of the belt or friends and family that keeps one going during the hard times, a candidate who successfully gets through this type of predicament is a much better choice than someone who is gainfully employed but has been late on several personal accounts. Odd, isn’t it? But the fact of the matter is: credit “worthiness” is not based upon your job – if it was, then people with high credit scores wouldn’t be able to buy a home with no money down and without ever having to produce income or asset documentation. It’s up to you, but as long as the applicant’s credit is good, there is very little need to verify income and employment status. You may still disagree, but keep in mind this approach is only recommended for those applicants scoring at least 650 or above.
If you do go ahead with contacting the employer to find out as much information as possible, then the best way to proceed is with a standard form called a “Verification of Employment” (VOE). This form enables you to approach any employer – large or small – in a professional manner, so you are given the attention you deserve. You may still be at the bottom of the stack, but at least you’re not in the shredding pile. The VOE is designed to be faxed to the personnel director (whomever that may be; it may even be the owner of the company) to solicit a written and signed response, attesting to the applicant’s position within the company, their hire date, likelihood of continued employment, etc. While it’s a great form, don’t get your hopes up too high, as you will soon discover many employers don’t like to provide some of the information requested.
Verbal verifications over the phone are – for one – not documented. It’s always important to obtain and maintain a folder on your tenant, because you never know when you may need certain information. While it may save you some time to place a quick phone call (that is, if you can actually get through to the appropriate person), it’s a good idea to get the company representative to use the VOE – so you will have the same response but sealed with their name, title and signature.
There is one final item of note about employers for you to keep in mind. If you are taking the time to do this, you might as well be comfortable with the fact that the employer even exists. So, take an additional five minutes to see if the company is listed in either directory assistance, with the Better Business Bureau or with the department that governs the registration of businesses for your state (usually, the Secretary of State). There have been too many instances where people will actually have be deceptive enough to get a friend, sibling or cousin to act on their behalf and give them rave reviews all the way around – the exact same situation applies with current and previous landlords. Just be sure you are comfortable with the impression that you receive when speaking with the supposed “employer.” |

Spencer Dodd, Managing Director/Executive Producer, UK & Europe, The Sweet Shop
With the tools to become a director now at everyone’s disposal, has that made finding new talent that can genuinely compete in the marketplace more or less difficult?
With the advances technology has made in recent years, there are certainly more people equipped with the tools to produce high-quality work than ever before.
Traditionally, the barriers to entry were relatively high and only a privileged minority were afforded access to the equipment and personnel necessary to generate a showreel. That’s changed and anything that makes the industry more accessible to a diverse population, must be welcomed.
However, as a direct consequence, the competition for this talent in the market place is now much greater. There are a lot of very accomplished film makers out there and over a hundred production companies representing them in London alone.
It does mean that there’s a lot more work generated for everyone to review and to evaluate, and time pressures on staff are extreme.
Having a distinct voice does help you to stand out, as does an ability to make people feel something, to tell a story and to get across a message within a limited time frame.
For the directors of tomorrow I think, more than ever, it’s about consistency over time. Proving over time that an outstanding piece of work isn’t just a happy accident and that a director can deliver consistently under differing conditions, facing a variety of deliverables and with different people alongside them.
How important would you say the annual YDA competition is to the industry at large?
There was a time when an agency producer would be able to look at a script, evaluate it and then recommend to their creative team a dozen directors for the project in question with a fair degree of confidence that they were the best and most appropriate people for the job. They’d ask the team to select their favourite three and would move forwards with them.
I’m not sure that’s still the case.
It’s impossible for an agency producer to navigate the current landscape of talent with any degree of certainty due to the sheer volume of content being produced around the world. There are of course the names that we all know and love but there are a huge number of very talented directors out there above and beyond those we are familiar with that at time would be better suited to a project.
The level of competition in the market place and the time pressure that producers are under means that it’s impossible for them to be aware of and to research the depth of talent that is available to them.
So, the YDA is a fantastic opportunity for young directors to showcase their work and perhaps draw attention to a wider body of work that hasn’t yet been appreciated in the way it should.
Here you have a captive worldwide audience at your disposal ready to watch the work away from the pressures of the office, in a relaxed open environment, hungry for new talent and that has been curated by people with experience of the industry.
Last year The YDA introduced a new, socially aware category called Changing the World Frame By Frame; what role do you think directors and the ad industry at large must play in global social education?
With the tools we have at our disposal, the ability to mobilise an audience and draw attention to any given event combined with a director’s ability to tell a story and move people, creating empathy and calling people to action, I think the scope for us to shape and influence the world around us is far reaching. With that opportunity comes a degree of responsibility as we respond to and draw people’s attention to the things that are going on around us whether that be environmental change, discrimination, or social injustice.
It seems that now more than ever there is a need for those stories to be told.
I can only speak for The Sweet Shop and we take this responsibility seriously providing internships opportunities to local councils, seeking out appropriate ethical projects to support and sponsor with at the same time taking an environmentally aware approach to production.
As more agencies and some clients continue take production in-house, what do you think these companies are missing out on by turning away from the more traditional model of commercial creation?
I think Steve Davies at the APA puts it far better than I ever could in this article ….
This is then summarised and supported by these pieces from a variety of sources and perspectives….
In-house production is we’re told designed to cater for fast-paced, low-budget work, sometimes of limited creative scope.
However, this has traditionally been the breeding ground for emerging directors; an environment in which they are able to grow away from college funded and self-initiated projects, responding to agency and client needs and exposed to the pressures of time and money that surround production.
With these opportunities limited and agencies looking increasingly towards freelance directors, they are cutting off the supply chain to the industry and restricting the opportunities available to the best of tomorrow’s talent, while at the same time limiting the options available to their clients.
What will you be looking for in the shortlisted work when you sit down with your colleagues to judge the YDA?
It doesn’t necessarily need to be the most polished piece of camera work.
It doesn’t necessarily need lots of elaborate effects or trickery.
It doesn’t necessarily need to have a cast of thousands.
What I’m looking for is a simple, core idea expressed well and that makes me feel something. The art of storytelling and the ability to move people is something that’s central and key to a director’s craft.
Having a distinct voice does help you to stand out, as does an ability to make people feel something, to tell a story and to get across a message within a limited time frame.

This may very well have been Ethans last year playing soccer ever. He loves the idea of playing, but hates when anybody comes near him when he has the ball. Last year we fought with him almost every game, we said oh he is just too young.
Skyler on the other hand loved playing, and did pretty well. He played at recess and lunch at school, and was a very enthusiastic player.
Of course we needed some pictures of the cheering squad. Ryley was a trooper being dragged to her brothers soccer games 4 nights a week. |

This week was HOT and HUMID. We planted part of the garden. We used the pool. We went to play soccer. And the three oldest worked at their part-time jobs.
And… they saw a snake, a real snake as opposed to the garter and ribbon snakes we usually see. It’s most likely an Eastern Fox Snake, although that species is not supposed to be native to our area. It’s startling to see even a garter snake unexpectedly, but to see a different kind of snake provides a special adrenaline moment.
All that is to say that formal school was not a very high priority this week, although the children did get a lot of work finished. In fact, it’s time to start wrapping up the year, even though we have a lot of work left on our term lists.
This is what we’re doing this year. On each child’s term list, I pointed out which books had to be completed before they could consider themselves finished for the year. These are mostly formal courses: math, grammar, elementary readers, high school literature, science, and so on. Much of the other work is open-ended and could continue forever. There is no way to say when a person has done enough nature drawing, or knows enough music theory, or is should stop learning about other countries.
So the deal is this: for each remaining school week, everything on the lists needs to be finished as usual. However, if a child works ahead and completes the year’s work in all the required subjects early, then everything else is waived for the rest of the year. Even the little ones are starting to understand that if they work hard on their required subjects, they’ll have less to do overall and can be finished sooner.

We appreciated the streamlined embarking procedures and wondered how the disembarking ones could be improved. Far too much time in line trying to get through, including a long hurry-up-and-wait time on the ship's deck before being allowed to proceed down the Z-way.
We had the dining package which worked out nicely since we didn't have to pay any extra charges at the now-ala carte restaurants. However, I can't see how this change is going to net NCL any additional monies. The excellent Italian restaurant was empty.
Really appreciated the no-smoking policy! |
I have been running the official version for a few days now and I have to say that it is very stable and works well. It is a lot better than the beta
version that was out there.
There are some additional app’s that are included in the ROM and the overall upgrade takes about 10 minutes. That is not to bad.
The upgrade should be out shortly, rumor has it, end of the week. If your interested in being an early adopter and are familiar with some of the sites that cater to Smartphone’s you should be able to find it without any problem. |

Karelian connections
Sattuma is a popular folk band from Petrozavodsk in Russian Karelia. The group includes, as a standard part of its repertoire, a song about the express train from Petrozavodsk to Joensuu in Finland. Great song, but no regular train plies the route described in the lyrics. Sattuma’s song about the train from Petrozavodsk to Joensuu has been wishful thinking - until this week. 29 November 2012
European Rail Timetable: December edition
The 1519th issue of the Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable is published this week. Few titles run to so many editions, but few document something as fluid as rail and ferry schedules. Every month a new edition of the book plots the routes of new trains through Europe, revealing new departures and lost connections.. 14 July 2012
Cross-border rail service to Greece restored
Mid-morning today, a train arrived at Thessaloniki station from Skopje in the Republic of Macedonia. Nothing of great note, you might suggest. But actually this is the first scheduled international passenger train to arrive in Greece since early last year.

Cast back half a century and there would have been nothing unusual about a direct train from Edinburgh to the port of Oban on Scotland's west coast. Indeed, our 1961 Bradshaw shows three direct trains each weekday from the Scottish capital to Oban — all running along the now sadly defunct Callander route, and serving along the way stations like Kingshouse Platform (on request), Killin Junction and Luib. All names that have long disappeared from the timetables.. 10 February 2012
Ferry links Dover Strait and Transmed
Keeping up to date with changes in European ferry services could be a full-time job these days. We used P&O Ferries for a crossing from Calais to Dover last week, and very fine it was too. A lovely crossing on a crisp, clear winter day as foot passengers on the Pride of Burgundy. 17 January 2012
Bulgaria to Greece by bus
2012 is shaping up to be as difficult as last year for rail travellers heading south through the Balkans to Greece. In 2011, Greece put a hold on all passenger trains crossing its land borders, thus severing the popular rail route from Bulgaria to Greece that crosses the border at Kulata, which is part of Route 41 in both the 2011 and 2012 editions of Europe by Rail: The Definitive Guide for Independent Travellers. It now looks at though this lack of trains across Greece's borders is going to continue for some months yet.

By bus from Skopje to Thessaloniki
We have already commented on the difficult situation for rail travellers bound for Greece in an earlier post. The withdrawal of all international trains across Greece's borders affects travellers following Route 43 in Europe by Rail. A pity as this is a great route from Belgrade via Skopje to Thessaloniki. But worry not! You can still follow Route 43, pretty much as described in the book.

If you’ve been paying attention, the questions posed by The New Museum’s third triennial “Surround Audience” won’t come as a surprise. Can we opt out of a society that feels increasingly commodified and corporatized? What visual metaphors and poetics can we use to make sense of digital realities, accelerated cycles of consumption, and expanded surveillance? How is art circulating outside institutional spaces?
What is maybe a bit unexpected is the agile way the show’s curators Lauren Cornell and Ryan Trecartin have knit together a familiar sense of post-internet pastiche with a politically-charged and earnest core. Police violence, trans politics, government surveillance, and gender inequality are all explicit subject matter of some of the works.
For such a diverse show with artists from all over the world working in so many different mediums, Cornell and Trecartin have managed to thoughtfully select works that create a conversation with one another. Sometimes the links between works are more obvious, driven by personalities and communities. A 3D sculpture by Frank Benson, made in the image of and in collaboration with Juliana Huxtable is presented a few feet away from Huxtable’s self-portraits and poems, which are imbued with a feeling of both defiance and possibility. Huxtable also shows up as a guest in Casey Jane Ellison’s all-woman TV show “Touching the Art,” which plays on a loop a few floors below in the museum’s lobby.
Other times, the works talk to each other in more implicit ways. DIS’s sense of humor rubs up against poet Steve Roggenbuck’s sense of sincerity—but, ultimately, it’s apparent both are playfully striving to avoid disillusionment while acknowledging its specter.
Much of the works in the exhibition share a sense of surrealism and absurdity, yet still Cornell and Trecartin weren’t afraid to get serious too. I was introduced to South Korean artist Onejoon Che’s work. Formerly a photographer for the military police, Che’s photos today continue to explore power, space, and knowledge. On display are several photographs of monuments and military buildings as well as a three-channel video.
Ultimately, the show was more cathartic than I anticipated. The works not only explore subjects like post-digital commodification and surveillance on an analytical level, but they are concerned with questioning how we should feel and how we should respond in the wake of these radical changes.
The 2015 Triennial: Surround Audience opens to the public tomorrow at 11am and will be on view at The New Museum, 235 Bowery through to May 24. |

Improving your quality of life typically covers three stages:
Stage 1: Deal with any limiting symptoms you may be experiencing.
Stage 2: Create a stronger sense of inner strength and resourcefulness.
Stage 3. Develop and put into action fresh ideas to enrich your quality of life.
It is a bit like working on an overgrown garden. First clear the weeds. Second, nourish the soil. Thirdly design, create and maintain your new garden.
It is worth exploring Stage 1 in more detail: Deal with any symptoms you may be experiencing.
Typical symptoms include:
feeling tense, anxious, insecure, worried, stressed, depressed or fear of the future.
fear of rejection, criticism or looking foolish.
phobias or control of 'nerve's' such as in public speaking.
relationship anxiety and other relationship difficulties.
past traumatic or painful memories that still affect your life today.
frustration or anger when life feels out of control.
recurring shame, embarrassment, blushing or guilt.
feeling awkward, shy, indecision or fear of success or failure.
serious health issues.
feeling that 'there must be more to life than this'.
looking to feel more assertive, secure and equipped to create a better future for yourself.
This creates a solid foundation to move on to Step 2 and 3.
If you are simply seeking coaching and work together towards a personal goal, then that is great.

Care Geneva Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin (with trade names Botox Vistabel, Dysport and Xeomin soon) is a substance that reduces the contraction of muscles acting at the junction of the nerve with the muscle.
Since 1975, doctors use botulinum toxin to correct strabismus child, facial tics and uncontrollable blinking of the eye.
Some facial wrinkles are expression lines caused by the action of the underlying muscles. The main objective of the use of botulinum toxin is to blur the lines and wrinkles at rest, while maintaining sufficient mobility to not affect facial expression. In practice, the most classic indications of botulinum toxin concern frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
Other areas of the face can also be improved with botulinum toxin, such as neck wrinkles, fine lines and facial wrinkles bitterness. It may also correct a drooping mouth, and in some cases a falling nose.
Botulinum toxin is also a treatment dyshidrosis (excessive sweating), typically at the armpit, palm of the hand, foot or scalp.
Botulinum toxin is a series of usually not painful injections, using a fine needle. The treatment time is a few minutes. Patients can resume their normal activities after the injections.
The results are visible between the third and seventh day. You are revised in consultation after two weeks. A “touch” can be proposed at this time to perfect the result. After four to six months, the effect fades and must renew the session. From the second injection, the results can be more sustainable (8 months or more).
Side effects of botulinum toxin that you need to know are: headache, infection, nausea, flu-like syndromes, eyelid droop, facial pain. redness of the injected area, paresthesia and muscle weakness. Allergies are exceptional.

Drs. Rx: Will Eating Dinner Early Cut Your Cancer a key to disease prevention be when you eat dinner?
The Doctors discuss research that suggests eating an early dinner was associated with a lower risk of breast and prostate cancer. The study found those who had dinner earlier in the evening had lower rates of the disease when compared to those who ate later in the night and stayed up later.
Watch: Can a Special Type of Pizza Prevent Cancer?
The research found having a long period between your last meal and sleeping was associated with a lower risk of both of these types of cancer. According to the study, those who waited at least 2 hours after eating before going to bed lowered their risk by 25 percent. Researchers believe that a disruption in the body's circadian rhythm -- the body's internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle -- can lead to a breakdown in how the body's immune system operates, which can lead to higher rates of disease.
ER physician expert Dr. Travis Stork shares that he tries to keep a consistent schedule of eating and sleep and aims to eat early and get an adequate amount of sleep each night.

The foundation for success in the field of cancer prevention is based on leadership skills, professional excellence, and mastery of one's scientific discipline. Within the CPFP, our goal is to help fellows maximize their individual potential for leadership and scientific contribution to the field of cancer prevention through a series of professional development activities. These activities are designed to prepare individuals for the transition from postdoctoral fellows to successful, independent scientists and professionals in cancer prevention.
We have organized the professional development activities to address the needs of fellows at the beginning, middle, and end of the fellowship. At the beginning, once fellows have completed their master's program, activities focus on identifying the best research experiences and on learning successful approaches to securing such opportunities. Other activities include designing a personal plan for productivity and time management. For those who are mid-way through the fellowship, activities focus on methods to enrich their training experience further through learning how to design a long-term independent research agenda, and by developing "professional polish." To help those approaching the end of the program, activities prepare fellows for attaining their first professional position. Fellows learn where to find jobs in cancer prevention and control and how to prepare applications for such positions.
To meet the individual needs of fellows, professional development activities consist of structured workshops, seminars, and personal meetings, including:
In addition, new activities are being developed to further expand the portfolio of professional development training.

Web hosting for enterprises poses unique challenges. These include data breaches, digital transformation, migration difficulties, high costs, disaster recovery, and more. How do enterprises overcome these struggles to deliver powerful digital experiences?
Hosting is one of those things that is best appreciated by not being noticed. Like hidden pipes, good hosting can’t be seen. It’s the absence of friction, when a website is doing everything it’s supposed to do, even under less than ideal circumstances, that makes a well-hosted website.
Poor hosting, on the other hand, is painfully visible. At best, weak hosting can result in rage-clicking and abandoned shopping carts, and at worst, data breaches and unacceptable downtime.
Nowhere is solid hosting more important than on enterprise websites. While popular hosting providers like GoDaddy and Bluehost lead the hosting provider industry and are totally appropriate for the majority of digital properties, they often fall short of what’s required to maintain a true enterprise site.
There are currently over a billion websites currently registered worldwide - traditional hosting methods simply aren’t enough to cater to the complex, evolving needs of enterprises. Enterprises often own multiple digital properties with high levels of traffic 24/7/365. As such, they must have excellent and secure server architecture, intense scalability and a robust server that can withstand high loads, cutting-edge developer tools, and top-tier customer service and support.
How powerful hosting solutions protect enterprises
Disaster Recovery
In the event of a disaster at your physical hosting site, you need a contingency plan. For enterprise hosting, redundant methods such as having hot standby applications spread across multiple regions mitigate risk. For those who are unfamiliar with the terminology, a hot standby is a method in which one system runs simultaneously alongside an identical primary system. When the primary system goes down, the standby system immediately takes over.
There are a number of different redundancies (or in layman’s terms, backups) that reliable enterprise hosting services should employ:
- Network redundancies involve multiple internet carriers used by servers.
- Hardware redundancies involve multiples hard drives and other forms of equipment in case a piece of hardware fails.
- Power redundancies involve backup power supply units, often with feeds from different utility companies. Each feed should have a battery backup as well as a diesel generator for longer outages.
- Geographic redundancies are essential in the case of complete datacenter failures - which, from inclement weather to mechanical failure, cannot always be prevented. If your Dublin datacenter goes down, your Toronto datacenter on standby can pick up where it left off.
In 2018, Microsoft’s Azure faced an eleven-hour service outage due to cooling systems failing in their Dublin datacenter on an 18°C day. To mitigate the risk of such an unnecessary outage, enterprises should seek hosting providers that offer these redundancies along with robust SLAs to make disaster recovery seem like a walk in the park.
Data Security
Data loss has plagued mankind since the tragic burning of the Library of Alexandria.
Security measures should be firmly embedded in every layer of an enterprise’s hosting architecture. An ironclad data backup strategy and rapid response to security vulnerabilities are key. From legal consequences to lost revenue and productivity, data loss can be truly devastating to companies.
Enterprises are especially vulnerable to data breaches. For example, the emerging trend of omnichannel marketing and Internet of Things (IoT) devices increases risk significantly. In fact, according to the 2018 IBM report on the costs of data breaches, extensive use of IoT devices increases the cost of data breaches by $5.4 per compromised record. In other words, every new channel an enterprise pursues to reach customers is a channel that can be breached.
The IBM report also shows how deploying security automation lowers costs of data breaches by USD $1.55 million on average. 38% of companies sampled plan on deploying security automation in the next two years, and only 15% of companies have fully deployed security automation. Enterprise hosting platforms that use artificial intelligence to automatically identify security vulnerabilities are extremely important to maintaining data security.
In terms of cost savings, the two most significant factors according to IBM’s study are having an incident response team ($14 saved per compromised record) and extensive use of encryption ($13.1 saved per compromised record). As such, enterprises must adopt a hosting solution that maintains a world-class protocol for incident response and employs impressive file system encryption across the entire infrastructure.
Without appropriate security, your entire online presence is vulnerable to cyber attacks. A secure hosted environment protects you from attackers, while proactively monitoring, patching and alerting for vulnerabilities. The physical security of the host’s servers must also be military grade. Finally, a routine and firm data backup protocol must be in place when prevention fails.
Uptime and Monitoring
From a customer experience perspective, sufficient uptime is essential because the availability guaranteed to you by your web host mirrors the availability you guarantee to your customer. Your organization's ability to reach its customers starts with the host.
There is no such thing as 100% uptime: all systems require maintenance. The industry standard is 99.9% (8.76 hours of downtime annually). Enterprises, however, should pursue 99.95% uptime at a minimum (4.38 hours of downtime annually). Why? Because it’s twice as reliable and downtime can cost enterprises a lot of money.
In 2013, Amazon lost nearly $5 million in revenue due to only 40 minutes of downtime. It gets worse: in 2018, Amazon lost up to $100 million in expected sales due to an hour-long outage on their biggest shopping day of the year (more on this below).
Beyond frustrating customers, having excessive downtime could hurt your search engine optimization. Search engines like Google may see your website as unreliable and lower your ranking. This doesn’t necessarily mean your enterprise will plummet to the bottom of the rankings because your uptime is slightly lower than competitors. It could, however, be enough to put your marketing team’s hard work optimizing content this year to waste.
A lot of hosts offer high uptime, but they better deliver. Enterprises should rely on reliable and renowned hosts such as Acquia and Pantheon can safely deliver on their uptime guarantees.
Compliance
If your organization must comply with PCI, HIPAA, or other regulatory requirements, hosting platforms such as Acquia Cloud Shield enable you to enforce stricter controls over data by segregating your infrastructure from that of other customers, and by enabling your organization to maintain sensitive data within your network.
In data breach scenarios, compliance failures cost companies an additional USD $11.9 per compromised record on average.
Hosting Heroes & Horrors
Hero: Mueller Report Release via Justice.gov
Excellent Planning and Maintained Uptime
In April 2019, the US Department of Justice was set to release Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report on foreign interference in the US election. With the publicity surrounding the investigation, the Department of Justice knew they’d face an unprecedented spike in traffic on their Drupal website as a result.
By taking a proactive approach in collaboration with their host Acquia, the department was able to successfully sustain a 7,000% surge in traffic and 247 million visitors in the first hour the report was released. The Justice.gov site averages 8 million visitors a day. Having the right host and content management platform helped the department ensure they could deliver what was needed when it was needed most.
Horror: Amazon Prime Day 2018
Excessive Downtime, Failure to Accommodate Traffic Spike
Even the biggest companies are not immune to excessive downtime. The most famous example in recent memory is the ill-fated Prime Day 2018, Amazon’s biggest shopping event of the year (even bigger than Black Friday).
Unfortunately, Amazon had failed to secure enough servers to handle the extraordinarily high traffic on Prime Day. As a result, Amazon was forced to launch a scaled-down backup page and cease all international traffic within the first 15 minutes of Prime Day to reduce the load on their servers. Glitches occurred across the site for hours, and Amazon lost up to $100 million in revenue due to service outages.
Hero: Arizona State University
Velocity of Delivery and ROI
Arizona State University decided it was time to transition from self-hosting their 2,000 sites on dozens of internal virtual machines. They weren’t equipped to handle high-traffic situations, and managing the complex infrastructure cost their team hours of lost productivity.
Looking for a cost-effective approach, ASU decided to standardize their 2,000 sites on Drupal, the content management system known for its scalability and multisite capabilities. ASU’s team transitioned to an adaptable, custom Drupal distribution on the Pantheon hosting platform. The transition freed up three full-time employees and gave the university the ability to adapt to traffic spikes instantly.
Horror: Healthcare.gov
Inadequate (and expensive) Infrastructure
Poor hosting infrastructure was among the causes of the disastrous rollout of the Healthcare.gov website in 2013, which cost hundreds of millions. Poor planning and flexibility was one problem: the system had only been tested with an estimated 2,000 concurrent users, as opposed to the far larger number of concurrent users that would visit the site in the first week.
Then there was also quality assurance issues: The twelve physical servers running the website’s backend were located in a single data center, which experienced an unplanned network outage (remember geographic redundancies?). Some of the servers in the data center even ran different versions of the cloud computing platform they used for the project.
Ultimately, only six people were able to sign up on launch day out of 10 million total visitors.
Hero: City of Los Angeles
Increased Performance and Uptime
Between excessive downtime and poor performance, the City of Los Angeles felt like they weren’t fulfilling the diverse and growing web site requirements of their population of over four million.
Prone to earthquakes, the City needed an especially reliable solution that could support dramatic spikes in traffic at any moment. After workingwith Drupal host Acquia, the City was able to deploy and manage over 20 different websites on the Acquia platform, experiencing an increase in site availability from an average of 95% to nearly 100%, a 60% increase in web performance, and a 100% increase in mobile responsiveness.
Horror: JP Morgan Bank Robbery
Data Breach
The 2014 JPMorgan Chase data breach was the worst cyber-attack and data breach in history, and is something every organization that handles sensitive data should learn from. The data compromised in the breach was associated with 83 million accounts or two out of three households in the United States. This was after the bank spent over $250 million on computer security.
So what went wrong? The bank had actually failed to upgrade one of its servers with a double authentication scheme, creating a massive security vulnerability that was entirely avoidable. Security automation, in the form of automatic security updates, version syncing, and rapid incident response can help mitigate the risk of catastrophic breaches like this.
Future of Enterprise Hosting
Growing CDN Market
A content delivery network (CDN) is a network of geographically distributed servers that work in unison to provide faster delivery of content, as reliably and cheaply as possible. They do not host content, nor do they replace the need for proper hosting providers. What they really do is allow for a quicker transfer of assets and files needed to load content on webpages. Essentially, CDN servers act as middlemen between the user and the origin server, increasing transit time by allowing users to connect to a geographically closer data center.
Today, most traffic on the web is served through CDNs, and the technology is popular among big players like Facebook and Netflix. CDNs are credited with improving load times on websites, increasing redundancy and content availability, and reducing bandwidth costs. They are also commonly used as an additional layer of security, protecting websites from malicious attacks.
The content delivery network market is expected to grow from USD $12.4 billion in 2019 to USD $22.1 billion by 2024. Big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are technologies that are contributing to the growth of the market. With the growing size of the CDN market, demand will increase for rich media and video on websites - demand enterprises should be equipped to meet.
The Cloud is King
Cloud hosting is a logical next step for a number of organizations. Transitioning to the cloud from internal systems can be expensive, and there is some risk involved (which can be mitigated by the redundancies mentioned previously). However, many organizations are beginning to realize that the total cost of ownership of maintaining internal systems is much higher. For example, according to Gartner’s IT budget report, healthcare companies spend nearly 75% of their IT budget on maintaining internal infrastructure. The resources that can be freed by making the switch are extremely valuable.
Cloud computing is also driving growth in the enterprise software market, which is expected to reach $427 billion in 2019. According to a LogicMonitor study on cloud computing, it is estimated that 83% of enterprise workloads will be hosted in the cloud by 2020. Further, on-premise workloads are to shrink from 37% (2018) to 27% by 2020.
The primary concern among IT professionals when it comes to switching to the cloud is security. Security during the migration process is of particular importance. This highlights the importance of selecting a hosting vendor with a “heroic” reputation (see the last section in this piece for examples).
Conclusion
Based on the unique challenges faced by enterprises in delivering their digital experiences, it is important they get more from a hosting service than just keeping their website up - they need a proactive and trusted advisor.
A proactive approach to security and maintenance is essential. Enterprises should seek a web hosting service that provides frequent backups and is constantly monitoring logs for access from known malicious actors.

Over the years, auto insurance premiums have slowly by steadily soared from what they use to be. Yet as the premium rates rise, there are always ways to get the best deal from your insurance. The topic on its own cannot be exhausted in a single post. We will just take a look at some tips to lower your premium rates.
Park Your Car in a Safe Place
One of the things you would expect your auto insurance to cover is damages or loss caused by theft or any other related activities. The idea with lowering premiums is to reduce the risk associated with your car. You can reduce this risk by parking your car(s) in a secured garage or driveway.
Install a Car Alarm
A car alarm on its own does not have the capabilities to prevent theft but it can fend it off. Modern cars come fitted with a car alarm with gets triggered whenever there is an unauthorized entry or an attempted entry. You have to ensure you have a car alarm that is approved by your insurer.
Drive a Less Expensive Car
If you have a thing for cars, this may not go down well with you. For insurers, the less expensive a vehicle is, the less risk it has. This is because it costs more to repair or replace an expensive car than it is to repair or replace a less expensive car. |

RAILS
& ROADS: CANADA ROAD 1817
by Barry Rodrigue,
My dissertation is for research about the old "Canada Road," its
support structures and the pre-Civil War migration of French Canadians along it
to Maine. The Canada Road was the modern overland derivative of a system of
water and portage routes linking the Chaudiere River in Quebec to the Kennebec
River in Maine and served as the primary transportation corridor between Canada
and Maine until the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1853.
The route has been used for millennia by indigenous peoples between the St.
Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean. Euroamerican missionaries, soldiers,
colonists and traders also followed this route in the 17th century. The Jesuit
priest, Sebastian Rasle, regularly journeyed on it while conducting his mission
to the Norridgewocks between 1694 and 1724. On the eve of the American
Revolution, British officials planned a post-road through this area to connect
Quebec with Boston, but hostilities interrupted its construction. The Arnold
Expedition traveled along portions of this route to lay siege to Quebec City in
the fall of 1775. However, this project is concerned principally with the early
19th century development of the overland route between Maine and Lower Canada.
With the post-Revolutionary War settlement of the Maine-Quebec frontier, two
partial and primitive roads began to develop along the Chaudiere and Kennebec
Road extending northwest from Augusta. Federal plans for a National Road from
Maryland to Ohio and a turnpike from Maine to Georgia, as well as many other
road and canal projects, helped to inspire this plan to create an international
road between Maine and Lower Canada. Construction to link the Chaudiere and
Kennebec Roads across the border began in 1817, but poor communication and
primitive government infrastructure slowed the work, and it was not completed
until 1819.
After Maine separated from Massachusetts in 1820, the new state barely
maintained its portion of the Canada Road, which primarily served drovers taking
livestock to the market in Quebec City. The few residents on the border
petitioned for a carriage road at a time when, according to local settlers'
accounts, wolves would surround houses during hungry times and howl until dawn.
Demands by residents led to the road's upgrading between 1828 and 1835. Early
developments included a customs house, postal service, a stage line and
roadhouses. A ten-dollar ticket would buy a two-day stage coach ride from Quebec
City to Skowhegan, Maine. Construction of the state capital (1829) and the
Kennebec dam (1834) in Augusta drew French Canadian workers with their families
to Maine. A cholera epidemic in 1832 and the depression, famine and rebellion of
1837 hastened this migration.
The French Canadian migration down the Canada Road prior to the Civil War is
one of the least known of their emigrations to the United States. Historians
have only a very sketchy knowledge of French Canadian movements into New England
before the 1870s, which usually receives only a couple of pages in the preface
of even major texts about French Canadian and Franco-American history.
Geohistoric studies have likewise tended to focus on the major water routes into
the heart of North America, such as the St. Lawrence and Mississippi river
systems, and have ignored secondary axis between regions like those of the
Chaudiere and Kennebec Rivers. The story of the Canada Road is told in
traveler's diaries, letters between Canadian and United States road
commissioners, government documents, oral histories, surveyors' notebooks and
maps. Research on this topic has been complicated by the fact that much of this
primary material is scattered in Boston, Augusta and Quebec City.
The Canada Road lies in an area where little work has been done on locating
historic archeological sites. Of more than 1800 sites in the inventory
statewide, only twenty sites have been identified in Somerset County. This
amounts to an average of 0.17 sites per town - far less than the state-wide
average. Virtually all of the sites recorded so far represent contact and
colonial periods. While there has been some interest in the Arnold Trail,
virtually no work has been done on the 19th century development of this area,
which in this case is of far greater importance in understanding the region as
it is today. Whereas earlier work has focused on the waterways merely as a
transportation route, this study is concerned as well with the settlement of
this borderlands region.
This research will expand the dimensions of this Canadian-American borderland
study, and is innovative in bringing together archeological, documentary, and
oral history resources hitherto ignored. A review of the Chaudiere-Kennebec
route will produce an expanded view of French Canadian culture and society in
North America. |
We all know that diamonds are a girls best friend and if it’s one thing that girls does not want, it’s to not get there precious pieces of jewellery damaged and dirty.
Therefore, to make it easier to maintain your delicate sentiments, below are a few easy steps on how to clean your diamond jewellery.

An eyebrow or even a lipstick brush will even work, as these are soft and small, which make a good substitute. However, insure that any brush you use is clean and does not have makeup on it. Soak the diamond jewellery for a few minutes. Then scrub with a brush. Make sure to get under the stone too, as this is where the dirt and oils will gather.
4. Rinse
To rinse diamond jewellery, use a fine-mesh strainer.

Overview
In recent decades dramatic advances have been made in treating “oncogene dominant” cancers. These are cancers where a particular protein drives the cancer, where blocking the protein can kill the cancer cells. Cancers of this type are now treated with specific inhibitors across a range of different cancers, from breast cancer to melanoma. A recent advance has come in lung cancer, where the mutated ALK receptor has been found to drive the cancer in up to 8% of cases, i.e., over 100 people in NZ a year alone. ALK inhibitors can now give such patients dramatic responses, regressing the tumour and allowing quality of life previously unattainable. However, the effect is temporary, as within several years the cancer evolves resistance to the drugs. Our research has identified over-activation of the ERK pathway as a mechanism of ALK inhibitor resistance, which in turn regulates apoptosis and DNA synthesis. We have further identified BIM and cyclin D1 as mediators of this ERK effect. Both of these are “druggable targets” and student projects would involve investigating whether drugs that modulate BIM and/or cyclin D1 for their ability to overcome ALK inhibitor resistance in lung cancer cells. This work ultimately aims to find drug combination strategies that could help prolong the lives of patients with oncogene dominant cancer of all types.

History
Founded in 1926 with 1 funeral home and 4 employees, The Palm group of funeral homes, cemeteries and crematories has grown to include 7 locations and more than 200 employees, caring for 1000s of Southern Nevada families each year. Palm Downtown Funeral Home opened in 1957 to better serve families in the Cultural Corridor and North Las Vegas. The facility’s midcentury architecture is iconic. Palm Downtown Cemetery opened that same year.
Las Vegas entrepreneurs
Anna Roberts Park founded the original Palm Funeral Home in 1926 on the corner of First Street and Carson Avenue, where the Golden Nugget stands today. Originally from Pennsylvania, Anna arrived in Las Vegas in 1911. She had been living in Bakersfield, California, as a cook in a boarding house when she met her future husband, William Roberts. A plucky and strong-willed woman, Anna helped her husband run his various business interests.
In 1912, she embarked on a cross-country journey to finance a lime and gypsum quarry near Slon, Nevada. Anna’s efforts were successful, and she came back to Las Vegas to open the quarry. The business, Nevada Lime and Plaster Co., was founded by William and is still in operation today. During this time, the couple also owned a general store on Fremont Street, called the People’s Store. Anna traded dry goods for basketry and other crafts made by the Paiute Indians.
Entrepreneurs turned undertakers
In 1915, the undertaker of Las Vegas was run out of town after a brief time in jail. With the former undertaker gone, William saw an opportunity and opened the Las Vegas Undertaking Co., which drew on skills he learned from a former career. Anna learned on the job, but in 1920, also sought formal training in Los Angeles while William ran the business.
Divorce of William Roberts
In 1925, Anna discovered that her husband had been unfaithful and promptly filed for divorce. The newspapers could not get enough of their juicy divorce and followed it closely. Unlike what was expected of women during that time, Anna refused to stand by and let her husband take everything they built together.
Caring for her community
In 1927, William left Las Vegas while Anna stayed and opened Palm Funeral Home, named after a single palm tree in her yard, and put her training into action. As a trusted funeral service provider, Palm Funeral Home held services for many local people, including the workers who died while constructing Hoover Dam. Although Anna sold the business in 1946, we carry on her commitment to serving the families of Las Vegas with the highest degree of compassion, respect and attention to detail.
Palm Downtown Cemetery
Situated on 25 acres of land, Palm Downtown Cemetery offers those who come to honor loved ones a peaceful place of remembrance. Numerous trees such as queen palms, live oak and Mondale pines provide shade to the cemetery grounds, which is much appreciated in the desert heat. The well-landscaped cemetery also features annual blooming flowers, nature gardens, a monument to Civil Rights and several water features—all of which make wonderful places to reflect.
Burial and cremation options for every family
A walk down any of our winding paths reveals a range of burial and cremation memorialization options to suit your needs.
For traditional ground burial property, we offer upright or flat markers, lawn spaces and crypts, 5 outdoor mausoleum complexes, private and semiprivate estates, and sarcophagi.
For families who prefer cremation, memorialization options include columbaria (glass- and granite-front niches are available), crypts, cenotaphs, benches, lawn niches, private and semiprivate estates, and scattering gardens.
If you prefer something more exclusive, we can custom-build a private estate or garden for an individual or multiple members of a family. The Palm Downtown Cemetery team will work with you to plan, develop and personalize a private estate, which is meant for casketed burial or placement of cremated remains. Similarly, a private garden can be used for the burial of up to 8 family members and customized with your choice of plants, flowers and shrubs. Each private garden is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence with a gate that locks.
Water features in the desert cemetery
Throughout the cemetery grounds, you'll find water features that offer peaceful places for reflection. Our Garden of Repose includes wonderful shade trees and a modern reflecting pool while the Garden of Roses has a bubbling fountain, which is adjacent to our private estate section and modern cremation garden. The cremation garden includes ossuaries, columbaria, memorial benches and niches.
Prepared for the future
Palm Downtown Cemetery stands ready to serve many more generations of Las Vegas families. We still have plenty of undeveloped land in our 25-acre cemetery. Our team stays up to date on the cemetery industry to ensure we offer the products and services that today’s families require. Please stop by at any time for a guided tour of our beautiful cemetery property.
The Garden of Dreams
The cemetery's Garden of Dreams opened in 2012 as a place to remember the U.S. Civil Rights movement. Completed in 2013, the Garden of Dreams serves to educate people about the struggles and successes on the journey toward equal rights in this country.
Queen palms mark the way to the Walk of Dreams, which leads to the Garden of Dreams’ Civil Rights Plaza. Memorialization pavers are available to honor loved ones, and the proceeds from the sale of pavers go to fund college scholarships.
Inside the Civil Rights Plaza, 14 polished granite stars embedded in the floor of the plaza represent the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Each year, we honor the contributions of a leader in the civil rights movement by dedicating a star on the walkway. In the center of the plaza, a 40-foot-tall, rock-pitched torch represents the ideal—when we all live together in harmony as equals.
The expansive lawn surrounding the Garden of Dreams offers a beautiful view of Sunrise Mountain and includes both ground burial and cremation options.
We care about the Las Vegas community

Teachers have a huge responsibility of educating a child and great teachers have exceptional qualities. You’ll have a lot to learn from great teachers. They always aim to give what the students deserve. They are hardworking. We might still be wondering why do great teachers spend a lot of time preparing for each day.
Why Do Great Teachers Spend a Lot of Time Preparing for Each Day?
Good things happen in the classroom of a great teacher. Why? It’s because a great teacher will do everything to ensure student achievement. Thus, he or she is competent. The skills and talents of a great teacher are noteworthy.
I am a teacher, too. I am always considering student learning. Hence, I make the necessary preparations every day. I am certain that learning is happening in my classroom and I am excited every time I meet my students.
Although teaching has become very overwhelming, I still love every inch of it. For me, there is real happiness in teaching as there is great satisfaction seeing students doing their best and are improving in their performances.
_______________
<<Don’t miss anything – jot them down. We have the best planners that can be customized as you plan every day. Check them out!
_______________
Reasons why great teachers spend a lot of time preparing for each day.
1. They ensure quality student learning.
Great teachers devote much of their time preparing for their instructions to ensure quality student learning. They always make time to create a student-centered learning environment. Certainly, they make careful assessments of their student’s needs and learning styles so they know exactly what to do with their students.
Moreover, great teachers impact student achievement. They work hard to deeply motivate students to learn new concepts and master life skills. Thus, these teachers never come to school unprepared as they always consider what transpires in the classroom.
Creating an active learning environment is their main concern. They think outside the box to provide their learners with exemplary learning experiences. Moreover, they don’t just stick to one teaching strategy as they always consider the diversity of learners. This really makes them effective and great teachers.
2. They share their great passion for teaching.
With many jobs available, why are there professionals who choose the teaching profession? We know that teaching is never easy because you have to deal with students of different backgrounds, personalities, and abilities. Maybe this is something we call – passion for teaching.
Teaching is advantageous if it’s your passion to teach. Hence, great teachers always get ready for each day because of their great interest in teaching. Looking at the education setting, teachers have done their best for the improvement of the students. So, I must say that most teachers are great teachers. They don’t stop at anything just to show their teaching prowess.
I should say that the development of society depends on the hard work of great teachers because they are doing their best to educate the children- the future citizens of the world. I am glad that I belong to the noblest profession. One of my goals is to create a well-educated society. Hence, I will prepare and equip myself with the necessary teaching skills.
3. They establish a strong work ethic.
Great teachers are committed to their mission and are mindful of the vision of the education sector. Nurturing young minds is one of their roles and they take it sincerely. Thus, the eagerness of great teachers never falters. They always extend the extra mile for the sake of student learning.
For me, teaching is a great career option. But it can’t be suitable for anyone. One should have a strong desire to nurture young minds and mold different personalities. All this needs a lot of work. Being accountable for the education and academic growth of the students, great teachers never render service half-baked. True service emanates from their hearts, hence they teach from the heart and make a big difference in the lives of the students.
Having been in the teaching career for years now, I have been abiding by teaching professional ethics. I know deep in my heart that I have a huge responsibility on my shoulders. And I can just live each day with the thought of whatever comes just let it be. For me, everything should be done to lay the foundation of each of my student’s lives. Therefore, I prepare.
4. They set high expectations for all students.
I always bear in mind that a teacher like me has a strong influence on student’s lives. That is why I set high expectations for all my students. I treat them equally and give them enriching learning opportunities. This can’t be done if I just let things be. Of course, I set myself as a positive example to my students for them to understand the things I am expecting of them.
Teachers who set high expectations for their students believe that they can achieve great things in their lives. Hence, these teachers really set time to design learning activities that promote optimal learning in students.
On my end, I prepare learning activities that are highly relevant to my student’s experiences and tasks that stimulate critical thinking. As I do it, my students feel that I believe in their strengths and I know their interests. Thus, my students also work hard to demonstrate learning and the skills that are expected of them.
5. They help students establish learning goals.
The day-to-day instructional management teachers provide should help establish learning goals for the students. Again, this should be part of the greater plan for student learning.
Conveying lesson content and instructions should support students and should prepare them for maximum academic growth. Furthermore, great teachers help students set their own learning goals and rely on their efforts for their achievement. If students are able to specify what they have learned for the day, they will be able to make plans for themselves and become more independent learners.
It’s a wrap-up.
Teachers should always be well-prepared to make the most of teaching and learning. Before entering class, the great teacher knows very well what to do first and what to do the entire learning day.
An enthusiastic teacher loves the teaching profession. He or she does the necessary preparations so students always get attracted to listen and participate. Furthermore, great teachers don’t just design learning activities but also provide a fun learning environment and immediate feedback to students.
Quality assessment should be given to test the efficacy of the instruction. If one strategy doesn’t work, a great teacher is always ready with another most fitting teaching strategy. |

New Delhi artist Rohan Prasanna has had a long-standing training in sarod from the age of seven—by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, no less—so it’s safe to say that he knows what it means to be rooted in classical norms, but also experiment.
His guru Amjad Ali Khan has had decades of formidable fusion excursions (most recently with guitarist Joe Walsh), and Prasanna is clearly no stranger to it either. He has collaborated with New Delhi artists such as Anirudh Varma and the Revisit Project. Most recently, his work with rock band Kitanu also came to the front, with the release of their debut self-titled EP.
Setting out on his own with his album Bouquet of Life clearly means being totally unrestricted, if stylistic
limitations were ever in fact an issue for Prasanna. As a vocalist, songs like ‘Out of Body’ and ‘She’s Like
a Breeze’ ease the listener into fairly new sonic terrain—there’s classical vocal melodies, whistling and
sarod, that’s almost played like a guitar. Then, on ‘Too Much Bro’, there’s a lot of abstraction, going from
funky grooves à la Jacob Collier or Vulfpeck to what seems like an intentionally discordant shift into a
classical sarod movement.
It’s confusing at this point, but in an intriguing way. Because we don’t hear that side present itself again
for a bit, given the tranquil and vibrant mood of ‘Melodies of Enlightenment’ and the transporting jazz-
fusion style of ‘Camel in A Club’, where Prasanna’s hushed a cappella sits subtly amidst swirling
Middle Eastern melodies.
Prasanna returns to that sneaky, unpredictable style we’d heard before when we get to
‘Intellidjentlewomen’. He picks away at glistening melodies and an (obviously) djent-
informed rhythmic pattern. It’s shapeshifting and ambitious, which means it could fail to hold one’s
attention for its seven-minute span but if you’re a fan of prog bands like Animals As Leaders, there’s
something in here that will keep you hooked.
After scaling what is arguably a summit of experimentation on ‘Intellidjentlewomen’, Bouquet of Life
wanders into the abstract space with mixed results. ‘Singing to You’ might stand out on its own, but in
the flow of the album, it does little to hold one’s attention. ‘Room Vibes’ maintains the jam-like
aesthetic that Prasanna has constructed on previous tracks, but doesn’t sound too different from what
we’ve heard before. ‘Why You Goin’, however, sees Prasanna bow out strongly. There are dance beats
straight out of an Indian street procession and jazz vocals going with strong keyboard melodies, with
Prasanna, phasing in and out of them.
The Collier influence is undeniable in Prasanna’s playfulness and while the sarod artist has got a lot more styles in the mix on Bouquet of Life, it could still do with some more finesse.. |

However, problems exist in some regions, such as redundant administrative approval, inefficient administrative work, and half-hearted reform, the premier said, after hearing reports from inspection teams.
The State Council dispatched eight inspection teams last month to check enforcement work in 16 provinces and dozens of ministries.
As Chinese government operates on five administrative levels (state, province and ministry, municipal, county and township), a policy package may taper off as it passes downward, and the purpose of the inspection is to ensure the policies are not misinterpreted or distorted by local executors.
Li said that the cabinet will continue to simplify administrative approval, open more sectors to private investment, enhance financial support for agriculture and small companies, and speed up key projects such as railways, municipal infrastructure and water projects.
He urged local authorities to adhere to central government policies in boosting trade, and promoting growth in sectors such as environmental protection, energy savings, elder care, health and culture.

August 13, many senior citizens and youths are busy celebrating the birthday of a timeless diva, Sridevi. Even though she crossed her prime and not a starlet anymore, fans roll out red carpet for this sultry Tamil siren. On this occasion, we tried to find out where her hardcore lover and ardent fan is.
Cursing Boney Kapoor for snatching seductress Sridevi away from her, director Ram Gopal Varma has many times reciprocated his love for the ex-heroine. Also he used to use loads of cuss words to blast Boney, a couple of years back. Ramu explained how he worshiped Sridevi before becoming a director, and how he used to maintain proximity with her during shootings. Sri acted as leading lady of Ramu’s Kshana Kshanam and Govinda Govinda.
If one has to praise Sridevi, by the time we write a paragraph Ramu will write volumes of books on her eternal beauty. But the blazing gun has turned mute today, as there is no single tweet or any statement about her. Though he is active on twitter, there is no mentioning of the dream girl of his fantasies. What Ramu, is everything okay? |

Online Fax Services - Is a Scalable Corporate Fax Plan Right For Your Business?
In these challenging economic times, one hears a lot about out-sourcing and using third party companies to handle many of your operating business tasks. One area which has drawn a lot of attention is "cloud computing" which is hosting your computer files or services on remote computers away from your main location. Using an Internet or online fax service is one perfect example where companies can both save money and have a more efficient way to send and receive their faxes.
Basically, all your faxing services are out-sourced to a third party for a small monthly fee, usually around $8 to $10. You sign up to one of these fax providers and you're given a local or toll-free fax number which you can use. Your faxes are sent as email attachments using your regular email system. You're also given an online account or interface where you can log in to check and send your faxes. Since your account will be online, you can access it anywhere, anytime - as long as you're connected to the web.
Perhaps, the most attractive part of this form of out-sourcing, most of these online fax providers have custom corporate plans which can be implemented to cover all your business faxing, especially if your faxing volume is high and you need a robust fax service. These providers will design a fax plan specifically engineered to meet all your needs and many will also give you special rates if you do a lot of faxing.
This can be an ideal arrangement, especially when you consider most of these corporate plans can be easily scalable to meet your growing needs. And since there is no extra hardware (fax phone lines or fax machines) to install, all this scalability comes very cheaply. Any company can easily increase or decrease their fax numbers, depending on how your business is growing.
Another area of interest, is the whole issue of fax broadcasting, this is where you send a fax to a large number of clients at once. With fax broadcasting, this can be done with one click. For a company or business which depends upon faxing to advertise or to make sales, this can be a great benefit.
Still, another issue concerns the competitiveness of using an online fax service. You must realize since this way of faxing is not limited to the office setting or even office hours - your faxes are available around the clock, 365 days of the year. Which means your business is open and accessible at all times and in this business climate that may mean your business will be more competitive, especially against companies which are not using online fax.
Choosing one of these fax providers will take some work on your part but there are many well known providers who offer corporate plans such as MyFax. However, don't rule out smaller lesser known fax providers such as MetroFax and Faxage. Some times these smaller companies will provide more attention to their clients than a big multinational companies with countless clients.
So the only question you have to ask yourself, "Is a scalable corporate fax plan right for your business?" It's your call.

Title
Evaluating the Stormwater Treatment Performance of AbTech Industries Smart Sponge® Plus, Landry, N
Abstract
The ability of AbTech’s Smart Sponge® Plus to remove fecal-borne bacteria from stormwater was evaluated in a storm drainage system located in Seabrook, New Hampshire. The Smart Sponge ® Plus was installed into a water quality inlet and samples were collected from influent (pre-treatment) and effluent (post-treatment) for analysis of bacterial concentrations and loadings during 15 storm events from September 3, 2003 to May 24, 2004, excluding winter months. The 15 storms included events with a range of rainfall intensities and amounts, as well as accompanying runoff volumes. Flow weighted composite samples were analyzed for fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and enterococci to determine if concentrations were lowered as stormwater passed through the Smart Sponge® Plus material. In most cases, bacterial concentrations were reduced within the treatment system, but to varying degrees. The efficiency ratio based on reduction in event mean concentration for each bacterial indicator in the flow was calculated for each storm event. The values ranged most widely for fecal coliforms, whereas the range of ratios was narrower and the values were more consistent for enterococci. The overall load reductions for the bacterial indicators were 50.3% for fecal coliforms, 51.3% for Escherichia coli and 43.2% for enterococci. Relatively consistent pH values were observed in influent and effluent samples. The overall range of pH values was large, ranging from 5.21 units in influent from storm event #11 to 7.64 units in influent from storm event #1. Conductivity values were gr eater in the effluent in 14 of the 15 storm events, especially in storm events #12 and #13 when effluent conductivities were >50% higher than influent values. Quality assurance/quality control procedures supported the methods and results of the study. Overall, the observed reductions in bacterial concentrations in post-treatment stormwater would still result in discharge of elevated bacterial levels that would continue to limit uses in receiving waters.

Ice Rules
Each skater is responsible for following the ice rules. Please review the rules and accept them prior to skating on club ice. Columbus FSC members will review and accept these rules during membership application or renewal. Guests will receive a copy when they make arrangements for ice time. Questions should be directed to an Ice Monitor or the Ice Chair.
Payment
Payment for ice time is possible in one of three ways and the rates are listed below:
- Purchase a punch card from the monitor. Each punch card is worth five hours of total ice time broken into 15 minute increments on any club ice session. Punch cards do not expire, are non-transferrable, and may be used at the skater’s discretion. $75.00 per 5 hours. $7.50 per ½ hour.

Contracts, available in the Fall, Winter and Spring, offer the lowest price and guarantee skaters preferred times. Contracted sessions are not refundable, unless cancelled by the club or special approval is granted by the Ice Chair. On approval, make up credits for absences are issued when notifying the ice chair in advance of the missed sessions. $6.00 per ½ hour.
Monitors
Monitors are provided for each session to collect money for ice time, play music, and ensure that rules are followed. Since the club, not the rink, runs the session, skaters must check in with the ice monitor located on the far side of the rink to pay for ice or ask any questions. Rink and front desk staff are unable to answer your club questions. Monitors are compensated in an ice credit stipend for their time.
Not ready for Club Ice?

According to a local sheriff the railroad crossing does not have crossing arms, therefore the tractor trailer was crossing and either did not see or hear the train coming. The Amtrak train was travelling at about 75 mph when it hit the tractor trailer. The train’s cars derailed because of the impact of the crash, but they all managed to stay upright. The passengers expressed their anxiety and struggle to get off the crashed train. A small fire broke out from the initial impact, so when the initial reaction from passengers was to jump out the window, they saw the fire and paused. They felt trapped. One lady stomped out the flames that were in her train car, and once those were out, she jumped out. Many passengers acknowledged how lucky they were and thankful for surviving the accident. All 64 passengers on the train had injuries, but most were minor. The passengers were taken to a local high school awaiting transport arrangements from Amtrak.
Investigators with Amtrak and Burlington Northern Santa Fe, alongside the Montana Highway Patrol are investigating the crash and seeing exactly what happened. The train had damage to its front engine, as well as, the railroad tracks were damaged in the crash. They were diverting trains until they could complete their investigation and get the tracks fixed.
Sadly, the 65-year-old Sidney man died on the trailer-tractor, and multiple people were injured due to the accident. One lady said that when they hit the impact caused her legs to be jammed in the seat in front of her causing bruises. |

Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis outlines that 2020 is on-track to be the quietest year for upstream transactions in the Asia Pacific region since the beginning of the 21st century.
As of mid-November, only US$426 million of assets have changed hands this year, down over 90 per cent from the US$5.1 billion transacted in 2019.
Globally, upstream mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have felt the pandemic’s impact acutely, as commodity prices fall, and operators shelve growth plans in favour of resilience and long-term strategic planning. But with strategic repositioning underway in the face of an energy transition, the situation is expected to change.
Wood Mackenzie Principal Analyst, Alay Patel, said that never before has the upstream industry been challenged to this extent.
“The combination of the oil price crash, COVID-19 and rising pressure to comply with ESG standards have created the perfect storm in the upstream industry,” Mr Patel said.
.”
Wood Mackenzie estimates around US$12 billion (NPV10) of upstream assets in the market or rumoured to be for sale/farm down across Asia Pacific.
Portfolio rationalisation, financial deleveraging and decarbonisation in preparation for the energy transition are key drivers of these divestments.
Unsurprisingly, majors and large-cap international oil companies are the primary sellers of assets; a trend which has accelerated since the oil price crash in Q1 2020.
A deeper dive into sub-regional breakdown reveals that over half of the assets on sale come from Australia and New Zealand. LNG opportunities account for almost 60 per cent of the 5.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent of resources on offer.
Wood Mackenzie Research Director, Andrew Harwood, said: “If we look further ahead towards potential farm downs or future candidates for divestment, we assess a further US$26 billion of assets could come to the market as corporate strategies evolve.
“The big question on the minds of many market watchers is who will step up to acquire the many assets coming to the market.”
Potential buyers are slowly emerging, targeting specific geographies and asset types.
Asian national oil companies, regional specialists and infrastructure funds are likely to be key buyers.
Private Equity-backed buyers could also make a splash in the region as they adapt their strategies to the new upstream outlook.
These players may not be the traditional buyers of mature assets in Asia Pacific, says Wood Mac, who recommends policymakers, regulators and investors to become familiar with the strategic objectives of these new buyers as the region’s corporate landscape undergoes its own transformation. |
Russell Crowe is gunning for that Oscar, as he revealed his latest transformation for Unhinged.
The 55-year-old is currently shooting for his upcoming film, in which he plays a psychotic man who makes a woman’s life hell after a road rage incident.
And he stayed in character as he enjoyed a cigarette break on set, between takes.
He appeared to rock a fat suit for the role, underneath a light blue shirt – complete with blood stains – and beige trousers.
In the film, he goes after a woman who beeps at him on the road in a severe fit of road rage – and takes it out on everyone close to her.
Basically, it sounds terrifying.
Russell has been joined by Gabriel Bateman, Caren Pistorius and Anne Leighton in the cast.
But this isn’t the only time the actor has undergone a major transformation for a role.
Earlier this year, the Gladiator star was spotted on the streets of New York looking completely different as he turned into TV executive Roger Ailes for The Loudest Voice In The Room.
And, thanks to a prosthetic face and bald cap, no one had any clue they were walking straight past the award-winning actor.
Russell recently made headlines after he let slip that he bought a dinosaur skull from Leonardo DiCaprio when he was drunk – for $35,000 (£28,000).
A casual purchase.
During an appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM’s show, he admitted: ‘I bought it for my kids, and you know, cut myself a little bit of slack here, there was a bunch of vodka involved in the transaction and it happened at Leonardo’s house…’
So far, so relatable..’

HISTORY means that many European countries ihave kinsfolk either outside their borders: Estonians and Latvians in the slivers of territory they lost to Russia during Soviet rule, Lithuanians in Poland and Belarus, Poles in Lithuania and Belarus, Ukrainians in Russia and vice versa, Hungarians in the Trianon territories...the list goes on and on.
Sometimes the very existence of such people is controversial. Greece does not like the idea that it has a "Macedonian" minority that speaks a slavic language identical to that spoken in its nameless northern neighbour (hello trolls: you need read no further but start posting at once). The pinch point is often passports. In what circumstances can, should, or may a Macedonian apply for a Bulgarian passport? Or an ethnic-Polish citizen of Lithuania for a Polish one? Or a Moldovan for a Romanian one? Sometimes this is simply a badge of national identity. Sometimes it has a strong economic dimension.
A Hungarian living in Mukhachevo1 may find a Hungarian passport a life-changingly useful document. A Hungarian living in the Slovak city of Istropolis (look it up) will find the same document makes no big practical difference, though carrying it may be a big symbolic decision.
All the more reason to welcome a thoughtful study by the Soros-funded thinktank the Romanian Center for European Policies which looks at Romania's policies on recovering citizenship. These are controversial in other EU countries, which think a) that Romanian is undermining Moldovan statehood and b) allowing Moldovans and Ukrainians into the EU labour market. The report argues that these fears are overblown and that Romania's policy, though haphazard and ill-run, is similar to those of other European countries such as Germany (which offered ethnic-based citizenship to Germans from the former USSR), Spain (which gives citizenship to descendants of Civil War refugees and others, Britain (too complicated to go into here), plus other countries described above. The authors, Andrei Avram and Andreea Valentina Dimulescu, deserve particular praise for the compilation of comparative statistics (see below). Print it out and take it to the beach.
1 I am being deliberately mischievous here: other toponyms, all valid in their own way, are reckon that this 'passport ethnic politics' inhibits certain dangers and mustn't strictly be seen as a problem of immigration, but rather in respect of ethnic antagonisms between central and eastern European old rivals. Central and east European governments have a different agenda than what meets the eye. The 'home passport' is a very convenient and powerful tool at their disposal, with which to control consciences.
The people's suit for better living conditions has lead many to adopt a 'passport of convenience', and so fall into the trap set by national governments. I don't blame the poor folk for seeking a passport out of poverty, but rather the 'Mother countries' for using this need as 'ethnic' leverage...
What about Italians living in Fiume and Dalmatia, Nice (Nizza), Savoy (Savoia), Corfu and Rhodes (Rodi)? Should they be conferred citizenship and offered the same benefits and protection that Italians living within her current borders - and paying taxes to the Italian Government - are bestowed?
The advent of the Common Market means that these days such a passport and citizenship is more symbolic than pragmatic.
A prime example of far-reaching implications of possessing a foreign passport is the recently disclosed case of Kyiv's mayor Leonid Chernovetsky who is suspected of holding both a Ukrainian and an Israeli citizenship. Since under the Ukrainian law dual citizenship is not permitted his election as Mayor of Kyiv could be declared null and void and his Ukrainian citizenship could be declared invalid. While at this point in time his exact legal status has not yet been confirmed, the fact that he and his wife own property in Israel and have been in possession of Israeli residence permits is not disputable.
Chernovetsky's assets in Ukraine are substantial, including banking and major real estate interests. He has been criticised for his failure to keep his private interests separate from his position as mayor of the capital city.
The legality of Chernovetsky's holding mayor's office will be challenged in the event of official confirmation of his dual citizenship. Ukrainian laws clearly prohibit the election of a citizen of another country to any state office. Should his dual citizenship status be confirmed, the legality of all his acts since assuming the mayor's office could be considered null and void. This would open up a real "Pandoras box" in terms of the status of a multitude of documents signed by the mayor.
The way I see it the term 'ex-communist Europe', while not ideal, is the best so far invented. After all, every country of the former Soviet communist block (except Russia itself) got rid of their respective baggage of communist rulers, state symbols, constitutions, governing methods and the like replacing them with something different, maybe not perfect, but certainly different.
But to call Russia "ex-communist" is grossly inaccurate as the present day Russia is governed by the same communist-trained apparatchiks, employing the same autocratic methods, celebrates the same communist hierarchy of former leaders, uses the Soviet red banner with the Soviet state emblem on official occasions, follows the same judicial concepts and rules, and last, but not least, considers Russia ( and only Russia ) a direct legal successor to the Leninist-Stalinist communist state officially known as the USSR.
So, I fail to see exactly how can anyone call today's Russia "EX-communist" ?
Dear Sir,
since I am not yet on the beach I did everything as recommended. I looked up Istropolis (wow!), read your note to the end before commenting, opened the pdf with Romanian Center for European Policies' report and looked up the hallmarks. It is all interesting and brings new knowledge to me, I am glad that obviously you have finished writing your new book (or at least the leave is over...) and you are back where you should always be and never leave, which is of course "Eastern Approaches. Ex-communist Europe". Speaking of that name... (yes it's the same Forlana, a bore who dislikes the term). I find it increasingly puzzling that TE and E.L. in it, still find it reasonable that issues pertaining to ie. ex-communist Russia (the most recent instance:)
are by the same mystical link as related to the issues of ex-communist NATO and EU-member Czech Republic or ex-communist Slovenia, NATO, EU and EZ member, to name just two, as the issues between or just concerning i.e. ex-communist Eastern Lands of Germany, ex-communist Poland or ex-communist, non-Soviet Croatia and so on.
Regards from Warszawa
A small pedantic point: in Yiddish it's "Minkatch".
Multiple names for the same cities and towns are very common in that part of Central-Eastern Europe. Just a few other examples:
Bratislava (Pressburg - Ger., Pozsony - Hung.); Usov ( Marisch-Ausee - Ger.); Prostejov (Prossnitz - Ger.); Miroslav (Misslitz -Ger.); Karlovy Vary (Krlsbad - Ger.); Krnov (Jaegerndorf - Ger. ); Chernivtsi (Czernowitz - Ger., Cernauti - Rom. ); Lviv ( Lwow - Pol., Lemberg - Ger., Leopoli - Italian); Kaunas (Kovno -Rus.); Vilnius (Vilno - Pol.); Wroclaw (Breslau - Ger.)
There are many, many others.
Those figures are next to nothing compared to the 100 000 citizenships granted in 2008 alone by France, Germany and UK each.
I love the bit about )." -- this really gives the reader the time to understand that history is not so clean-cut and in one location many different ethnicities may have stayed side-by-side, often in peace.
The main conclusion from glancing over the figures of the report is that the number of people granted citizenship in Eastern European countries (Poland, Romania, Hungary) seems tiny w.r.t. the numbers granted, e.g. French citizenship. Even if you take a single North African country like Marroco or Algeria, the numbers granted French citizenship in a single year dwarf the whole of new Eastern European citizens combined. Of course, these countries might have "played nice" before joining the EU + of course, if it becomes an EU citizenship, it's more attractive, of course. However, it seems like a minor issue.
In my view an important part of the issue is willingness of countries like Russia to issue Russian passports to ethnic Russians who are permanent residents and hold passports of other states. Similarly, many people get Israeli passports without surrendering passports of their country of residence. This provides them some degree of protection in the event of charges against them.
I do not intend to undermine the paper's statistics and sources---although I do have a hard time understanding how their table figures add up---, but the figures seem suspiciously low to me. For a Moldovan population of 3.5m (varying depending on your assumptions), a number of regained citizenships of <5000 a year, during each year up to 2009, looks strange. From personal experiences I would tend to believe that the number was considerably higher.
In any case, I'll probably go ahead and print out the paper before going to the beach..
"In what circumstances can, should, or may a Macedonian apply for a Bulgarian passport? Or an ethnic-Polish citizen of Lithuania for a Polish one? Or a Moldovan for a Romanian one?"
You pose a valid question but you avoid discussing what in my opinion is the most important issue: namely what are the relative provisions of the constitutions of Romania, or Moldova, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, etc. on the issue of dual passports ? Most, but not all countries prohibit dual citizenship, therefore consider dual passports invalid. Passports entitle holders to certain rights and obligations. You are not simply entitled to another country's passport by virtue of your cultural preferences or political sympaties. You have to meet the requirements set in each country's legislation. |

Optimizing Iterating over a giant hash
OK, problem solved :)
first of all thanks for all the answers.
What I eventually did was some version of divide and conquer.
When reading the inital data (filling the hash) I instead wrote it in a more suitable way for a new file that was then sorted (shamefully - with the linux sort util) and then i could process the lines that started out the same (same entry + timestamp) and out put. this also gave me a sorted result.
I liked the idea of seperating the internal hash to a list - this actually might decrease lookups and not run out of memory for those lists which are relatively short.
I did not use a database because i was under the impression that i need an sql server (for example) to be running and i don't have one. am i wrong? this could be usefull...

So, if you’ve been reading this blog for long you know I have a lot of jobs. One is as an editor for The High Calling at The Theology of Work Project. (THC, for a long time, was solely a production of The H. E. Butt Family Foundation in Texas….also known as the people who bring you Laity Lodge, one of the most beautiful places on earth. But I digress.)
Anyway, the day-to-day production of THC now happens at TOW, where I curate the archive, publish a weekly newsletter, and do some other stuff. Some of the “other stuff” is uploading sermon notes which were originally sent out to THC readers in the late 2000s and early 2010s (as a side note, being able to type those numbers means that I am now officially really old.)
One sermon I uploaded today, originally written by a pastor named D. J. Reed in 2010, was called “The Curse of Hard Work.” It’s framed as a response to a book called The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss, which basically argues that we should all outsource the parts of our jobs we find boring or difficult, focus on our passions, and get it all done in as little time as possible so we can earn lots of money and spend time lying around in hammocks, or whatever floats your boat.
Now, I agree with Reed that this, in itself, is not enough to make life meaningful. Lying in a hammock can get boring. Floating a boat can even get boring, though probably not quite as fast. Outsourcing the boring parts of your job pretty much begs the question of who you are outsourcing them to and what that does to the outsourced upon. (Check your privilege, Ferriss, stat.)
But I was bothered by Reed’s conclusion. (This botherment, by the way, is not meant to extend to THC more broadly. Even before I got the gift of curating their archive, I was impressed by the nuance and lack of a “party line” they regularly brought to discussions of what you should do when work sucks.) Reed ends up with the hoary story about the guys building a cathedral, except only the third bricklayer knows that’s what he’s doing. He concludes:
Those who champion the four-hour workweek would probably discount this story as simple-minded. They’d probably say that the poor brick-layers should establish a business plan and let others do the work while they can rest on a hammock in the shade. But it seems to me as if the first two are living under the curse, while the third has countered it. Yes, it’s hard, sweaty work; but it’s good work. It’s good because it has meaning. It’s good because it has purpose. It’s good because it transcends his fickle desires…. May we find a similar contentment, knowing the work God has called us to has meaning and purpose.
Even if the bricklayer is finding purpose in his work, how do we know his work is justly administered? (Knowing medieval labor practices, I suspect the answer to that question is no.) How do we know he’s paid well? How do we know that encouraging him to be content in that work really contributes to the common good? Can we conceive of a common good that would ever call for the overthrow or at the very least the modification of unjust systems? Contentment is a good thing, but if we encourage people to be content with their lot, can we ever stop hearing “opium of the people” echoing in our brains? (Maybe not in your brain, but in mine. A childhood lived in the 1970s and a mainline seminary education will do that to you.) Is contentment just another word for privilege? Do I need to check mine?
Stay tuned. |

What is a swing bed?
Medicare permits small rural hospitals to use its beds as needed, either for acute care or skilled care, hence the term "Swing Bed." Some physicians may "swing" patients from one level of care to another while staying in the same facility.
If you find yourself needing time to recover from a surgery, illness or injury, a swing bed program would allow you to recover in a hospital setting versus a nursing home. In the hospital, you would have easy access to nursing care and therapies. The goal of swing bed is to assist you or your loved on in becoming as independent as possible before discharge to home.
Who pays for swing bed?
Medicare part A will generally pay for Swing Bed if the patients meets the following criteria.
- Your swing bed care must be related to an acute hospital stay.
- You must need skilled nursing and/or rehabilitative services on a daily basis.
- You must have a three night qualifying stay in an acute care setting in the past 30 days.
Staff at Frio Regional Hospital can assist with the process of verification of services.
What type of services does swing bed offer?
The goal with our swing bed program is to help you achieve your maximum level of function and return home. Since swing bed is located within our hospital, we are able to offer specialized services such as:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Registered dietician services
- IV therapy
- 24 hour registered nurses on staff
- 24 hour Emergency Department on site
- Low nurse to patient ratio
- In-house pharmacy
- Social services
- Activities
- Private rooms
- Discharge planning
- Close to home!
When is swing bed appropriate?
If you or a loved one needs any of the following care, swing bed would be appropriate.
- Need to heal and regain strength after a hospitalization or surgery
- Wound care
- IV therapy
- Stroke rehabilitation
How long can I stay in a swing bed?
As long as you are making measurable progress you can stay in a swing bed program. You could be in the program as little as three days up to 21 days depending on progress.
Transitional services
During your stay in our facility, we will work with you and your family to ensure a safe and easy transition back to home. We can help with Home Health, hospice, therapy, doctors ap-pointments and medications. If you require any of these services, please contact our Utilization Review Staff Nurse. |

Father Clery was a busy man, never ceasing to visit many of his parishioners. Along the way, he had stopovers with his friends. One of these friends was a man that lived in a hotel. He was an inventor, an eccentric inventor at that. He was a lively man, with long black hair and an unkempt appearance. He was completely absorbed in his inventions he sometimes forgot to bathe or eat.
Father Clery made his regular visits with Alois, the inventor to make sure he was all right. When he opened the door, he found the man deeply in thought, staring at some papers in front of him. Alois, had once been a handsome young fellow, with wavy dark hair, dark eyes, and aristocratic visage. He was rather tall and slim, but his dashing good looks had eroded and all anyone saw was a slipshod man who forgot to live beyond his ideas.
Though, Alois was not youthful and handsome as he erstwhile was, he still kept his energy and wits about him. “Good day, Alois,” Father Clery greeted him.
“Who-huh-what?” Alois was a bit absent minded when it came to time. He could spend days thinking and creating ideas without realizing that night had turned to day and that winter had become spring. “Is it spring already?” Alois looked baffled. Father Clery always visited Alois on the first day of spring as the snow melted away giving away to clearer roads. Father Clery was unable to travel during the winter since his horse drawn coach was unable to tread through the deep, deep snow.
“Yes it is,” Father Clery.
“That means it is time for tea,” Alois said and set about to make tea and take out some biscuits. In no time they were sitting down with a cup of hot tea and some confections that Father brought along, knowing any food in Alois hotel room was either stale or rotten.
“What have you been up to, Alois?” Father Clery sipped his tea.
“I have been envisioning,” Alois said enthusiastically.
“Is that so,” said Father Clery.
“Since I can remember I have had these visions with bright lights,” said Alois. “Of scenes I have never imagined. One day, I will invent something that will print these images from my mind. It all started when I use to see an aura around my cat as a child. I was an excellent student, exceling in my studies. I superior to the other students. Most people would say I was obsessed with my education, but I state otherwise.” It was typical of Alois to ramble on about different subjects. Sometimes he would forget what he was talking about, other times he would forget that Father Clery was present and resume his tinkering in his inventions.
“My brother saw these visions too,” Alios became sad. “But, I don’t want to talk about that.”
“I understand,” said Father Clery. After their tea and a bit more of Alois’s prattle, Father thanked his hostess and bid farewell to Alois who barely heard him as he stood over a clutter of papers. On Talking Terms |

Come on board to learn what turned the engine turbines, drove the propellers, and powered the catapults. Be ready for climbing and exploring, for we'll be visiting several locations on board the ship that illustrated why thermal energy was vital to the USS Midway. The highlight of the visit will include an Energy Hunt throughout the ship. In groups, students will use digital cameras to document energy flow and teachers receive a CD of the students work for their post visit lesson.
Our on board workshops are designed to support NGSS MS-PS1-4 & DCI PS1.A, PS1.B, PS3.A, & PS3 6

July 29, 1862 (Tuesday)
For many in General Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of Mississippi, the long train ride from Tupelo to Chattanooga, Tennessee was over. For others, it had just begun. Hoping to take advantage of Union General Don Carlos Buell’s lazy advance towards eastern Tennessee, Bragg decided to move his entire army northeast to block the Federals.
Prior to the move, the Federal Armies of the Tennessee and the Mississippi were on his front and left. After taking command over both of Federal forces in Mississippi and Tennessee, newly-installed General Ulysses S. Grant had little choice but to go on the defensive. This allowed Bragg the opportunity he needed to slip away, which he did on the 24th.
Even before the Rebels left, Grant knew something was up. General William Rosecrans had taken direct command of the Union Army of the Mississippi after General John Pope went east. On July 18, he reported that the Rebels had divided their force and predicted that a column under General Sterling Price was possibly headed towards Chattanooga, while others were moving on Vicksburg and Mobile. 1 This information was more correct than not. Bragg had sent General Earl Van Dorn to take command at Vicksburg, while he gave General Price a sizable force to play upon the Federals along the Mississippi/Tennessee border. He had also sent a few thousand troops by rail via Mobile to reinforce General Kirby Smith at Chattanooga.
Two days later, Rosecrans reported again, correcting the previous report. In it he claimed that Bragg himself had left Tupelo with most of his army, and was headed for Chattanooga. This was not even close. All the while, both Grant and Rosecrans had been writing to the St. Louis Armory and to General-in-Chief Henry Halleck to secure better arms and equipment for the cavalry. It was clear that they would be doing the bulk of the work in this part of the country.2
After going over the various reports, Grant concluded that “nothing absolutely certain of the movements of the enemy has been learned.” The only certainty, Grant reported to Halleck, was that “a movement has taken place from Tupelo, in what direction or for what purpose is not so certain.”3 This, in all its vagaries, was more or less correct. By the 24th, much of Bragg’s Army was en route to Chattanooga, while Price was moving north independently.4
Finally on the 28th, things started to come together. Rosecrans’ cavalry, under General Philip Sheridan, had just returned from a mission. Along the way, they captured a Confederate Captain and a bundle of letters offering proof that most of the Rebel force was on their way to Chattanooga.5
The next day, both Rosecrans and Sheridan filled in the details. “The enemy have been and still are moving in large numbers to Chattanooga, via Mobile and Montgomery, concentrating at Rome, Ga,” reported Sheridan about Bragg’s men. “A large number of troops are at Saltillo, not less than 10,000.” Saltillo, ten miles north of Tupelo, was where General Price was basing his operations.
The mail, lifted from the 26th Alabama Regiment, talked of moving to Chattanooga and then to Huntsville, Alabama, where General Buell was headquartered as his slow-moving Army of the Ohio inched its way towards Chattanooga.6
Breckinridge Moves to Retake Baton Rouge
While Bragg was making his move to Chattanooga and Price was holding his own north of Tupelo, General Earl Van Dorn was defending Vicksburg. Having driven the Federal Naval fleets away from the city, he decided the time was right for his Confederates to retake Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which had been surrendered after the fall of New Orleans.
For the job, he selected former United States Vice-President John Breckinridge, now a General in his command. Breckinridge, along with a few fellow officers, believed Baton Rouge almost worthless. If captured, it could not be held. As a defense along the Mississippi River, it offered no place to erect heavy artillery. All, even Van Dorn, knew that Port Hudson was a much better locale for river defense. Baton Rouge, however, was the Louisiana State capital. Its capture would be quite a coup for General Van Dorn.7
And so, on July 27, Breckinridge’s force of 4,000 boarded trains in Vicksburg, riding the rails east to Jackson, Mississippi, and then south to Camp Moore, a Confederate training camp near Kentwood, Louisiana. They were roughly sixty miles northeast of Baton Rouge.
Upon arrival, Breckinridge organized his force into two divisions and prepared for battle. On this date, General Van Dorn sent word that he was to begin his march towards the state capital. They would step off at dawn.8

An important point about Baton Rouge is that the Union at that time had naval supremacy in the area. To counteract this, the Confederates needed the CSS Arkansas, which had just been repaired to more-or-less battle-ready condition. But her skipper was away and sick, and had ordered the exec not to move the ship without his permission. |

Fuel Storage
Fuel and Air Intake
Description
The fuel tank is usually made of stamped steel or plastic. The tank is held in place with steel straps. In some cases, a bracket-and-strap arrangement is used.
Purpose
The fuel tank stores gasoline for the engine, holds the electric fuel pump and sending unit, and provides a connection to the vapour collection/recovery components of the emissions system. The tank also has a filler neck, which restricts fuelling to unleaded fuel nozzles. On 1996 and newer cars, the mouth of the filler neck is designed specially for OBDII-compatible gas caps.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions
Unless damaged, fuel tanks last for the life of the vehicle. On many cars, the fuel tank needs to be removed in order to replace the fuel pump. On 1996 and newer cars, a light on the dash, labelled SERVICE ENGINE SOON or CHECK ENGINE may turn on if the gas cap is left loose after refuelling. Make sure the gas cap is always installed properly after you refuel. Turn the cap to the right until it clicks in place.

History
This is a brief historical account of Oxley United's history from 1913 to the present.
Founding
Oxley United Football Club is either the oldest, or at the very least one of the oldest football clubs in the Football Brisbane Association. A number of clubs can claim some connection to previous incarnations that were formed before 1912, but in Oxley's case, we have been able to build a documented history based on Brisbane football magazine articles, newspaper clippings and articles, and diary notes written by the Oxley Football Club founder William Gunthorpe, which trace an unbroken history dating back to 1912.
The club has its possession an article from the local Brisbane media from the 1970s where Oxley’s early history was recounted in a short interview with Jack Gunthorpe, an original member of Oxley’s first squad from 1913, who was the brother of the club founder William Gunthorpe.
According to Jack Gunthorpe, the Oxley Football Club was formed in 1912 during the tramway strike. ‘That year, some of us put up goal posts and played matches on Sundays’. Further to that article, the club also has in its possession notes written in the early 1950s by club founder William Gunthorpe. These notes include all of the grounds Oxley played at between 1913 and 1953 and Oxley premiership and cup wins for junior and senior teams from the same period.
The records Oxley United has state that in 1913 Oxley entered a side in the Brisbane Football Association. The first Oxley playing fields were at Dunlop's Paddock, which was located near to where the Oxley Bunnings warehouse is currently located on Blunder Road. The club played at Dunlop's Paddock until 1927 and then moved onto Lucock's Paddock, which was located on Englefield Road, Oxley, where it played up until 1934. The club then played out of Cawonea Park on Oxley Station Road up until 1953, before moving to Graceville Oval where it played until 1955. In 1956, Oxley United moved in to its current home ground of Dunlop Park at Corinda.
Records indicate that Oxley United fielded a junior second grade side during 1915, whilst the first mention that is found in the Brisbane Courier newspaper records regarding the Oxley Football Club was on the 20th of June 1918, reporting that an Oxley side would be playing Wallabies at Oxley. Records indicate that the Oxley United seniors played in the Brisbane Third Division competition in 1918 and in the Second Division competition in 1919 and 1920.
Early Years
There are many mentions of the Oxley Football club during the 1920s when the Oxley sides who carried nicknames of the ‘Boomerangs’ and 'Ramblers' during this period, fielded strong junior sides. The Oxley juniors played in the junior First Grade competition in 1924, the junior Third Grade competition in 1927, winning the premiership and promotion to the junior First Grade competition in 1928. The 1928 juniors played in the Pike Cup final of that year losing out 4-0 to Latrobe. In 1929 the team went one better than their 1928 counterparts, winning the First Grade junior premiership. A photo of the 1929 First Grade Premiership winning side, and other sides from the 1920s can be found in the pictures section of the website.
In the season of 1930 the Oxley 'Ramblers' fielded a senior side in the breakaway Ipswich and West Moreton competition. For the years between 1931 and 1934 there is no references to Oxley senior teams in the Brisbane and Ipswich newspapers, but there are a number of references to junior teams during the period, as well as newspaper articles reporting on fundraising dance and card nights run by the Oxley 'Ramblers' Football Club members. The notes from William Gunthorpe identify that Oxley won a Third Grade junior premiership in 1934.
Now referred to as Oxley United, the senior’s rose to prominence again in the Ipswich and West Moreton competition in 1936 and the Brisbane competition in 1937 and 1938. In 1938 the side was led by the Queensland and Australian representative centre forward Cec Brittain and ran fourth in the First Division competition. A picture of the 1937 Oxley United men's team can be found in the pictures section of the website.
During the war years there are few references to the Oxley United Football Club, but once the war was completed, the senior side once again started to shine. In 1946 Oxley United won the B Senior competition and was promoted back to the Brisbane First Division for the 1947 season. The club was relegated after one season in the First Division and the seniors played Second Division football in 1948 and 1949. The notes from William Gunthorpe identify that in the junior section of the club, the Third Grade junior team won the One Round Cup in 1948 and that the Juveniles won the premiership in 1949.
In 1950 there are no references that can be found for an Oxley United senior men's team, however there are records that Oxley United fielded a Junior A Grade side in that year and a Junior Second Grade side which won the premiership. The Juveniles from that season also won the premiership, with both premiership winning junior teams winning the Second Round Cup as well.
These junior sides provided a number of senior players for the Oxley United 1951 side, which won the Fifth Division premiership and the Fifth Division One Round Cup. The club then picked up the Third Division premiership in 1952, as well as the Third Division Knock Out Cup and the Third Division One Round Cup.
Oxley then won its Second B Senior title in 1953, gaining promotion back to the premier division of the day, the Brisbane First Division. In 1953 Oxley also won the B Senior Bond Cup and the B Senior One Round Cup to go with its premiership. Several pictures of Oxley men's sides from the 1950s can be found in the pictures section of the website.
The Oxley United club then played First Division football continuously from 1954 until 1970. During that period the club had its best season in 1958 when it won the Triple Crown, which was the First Division premiership and the Tristram and Hilton Shields. It followed up its success from 1958 by winning the inaugural Ampol (Queensland) Cup in 1959. It also qualified for the Australian Club Championship (the Australia Cup) in 1962 when it was placed third in the Brisbane First Division competition. The Oxley United sides from that era included many great players such as Australian representative goalkeeper Brian Topfer, as well as a number of Brisbane and Queensland representatives including Len Jones, Jerry Murray and Eddie Hillier.
1960-1999
During the remainder of the 1960s the side remained in the top flight and whilst it didn’t always challenge for premiership or cup honours, it still contained a number of representative players and coaches of the period, including Raggs Tatters, Bill Haig and Brian Tristram. There are a number of photos of Oxley United teams and players from this era in the pictures section of the website.
Oxley’s fortunes began to change in the 1970s, with the top side relegated from the Brisbane First Division in 1970. It bounced back immediately though when it won the Second Division premiership in 1971. During the period from 1972 to 1974 the top side played in the Brisbane First Division competition and had a Queensland representative in Paul Yuell in its ranks, as well as several other top players from the era including Trevor Jones and Tony Lowndes. From 1975 to 1979 the club played in the Second Division, going close to promotion back the First Division on several occasions. Pictures of the teams from the 1960s and 1970s can be found in the pictures section of the website.
The 1980s saw Oxley mostly playing in the Brisbane Third Division, winning a Third Division Grand Final in 1983. From 1984 to 1987 it finished mostly near the top four or mid table, but in 1988 the top side was relegated from the Third Division. The 1989 season saw Oxley United bounce straight back though, winning the Fourth Division premiership.
After the success of 1989, the early 1990s saw the clubs fortunes turn again, with the top side struggling on the park during the early and mid 1990s. As a consequence, Oxley United at senior level was relegated several times during the 1990s. Junior playing levels were also low during this period, but the strong commitment from committee members during these difficult years saw the club start to flourish again in the late 1990s. By the season of 1999, Oxley United was a solid Brisbane fourth tier Football Club, playing in the Amateur 2 competition. The club started to make some improvements at that time to its facilities and junior participation rates at the club started to improve, leading to more players transitioning from the juniors into the senior ranks during the 2000s.
2000-2009
In 2000, both the top side and reserves were placed in the top four at seasons end, and in 2001 the top side ran third and gained promotion to the Premier 2 competition for the 2002 season.
The club maintained its Premier 2 status until 2005 and was relegated to the Metro 1 competition in 2006. The club then picked up its first senior men's trophy in 19 years when the top side won the Metro Cup in the 2008 season. Pictures of that side and the celebrations for that trophy can be found in the pictures section of the website.
In 2009 the top side had a great year running second in the Metro 1 competition and winning promotion back to the Premier 2 competition. In 2010 the side ran 11th, just hanging on to its Premier 2 status. At the same time, the Oxley ladies won their fourth division grand final, the first trophy for the women’s side of the club in 32 years. Photos from that day can be found in the pictures section of the website.
2010-Current
In the season of 2011 the Oxley top side started the season well winning the Queensland Times QT Cup. Proving the result wasn't a fluke, the top side went on to qualify for the Premier 2 finals series, with the reserves team also qualifying for the finals series. For the senior side of the club, it was Oxley's best season in a long time and proved the club was moving in the right direction.
In 2012, Oxley United's centenary season, the senior men's side of the club again put in a credible performance, with the top side finishing just outside of the top four and the reserves qualifying for the finals series. Unfortunately the reserves were not able to make the grand final, losing to undefeated premiers Bayside in their semi final. For the ladies, the Division 2 side won the premiership, the best result for the ladies side of the club since 1978 and Oxley's first senior premiership since the men's Fourth Division premiership in 1989. The ladies missed out on the premiership-grand final winning double, but winning promotion to Division 1 for the 2013 season was a sweet reward for a great effort!
In 2013 the ladies side of the club performed brilliantly in the First Division only narrowly missing the finals in what was their first year in this league. The men's side of the club went through big changes with a new coach and a pretty much new squad. The side maintained its Capital 2 status by a narrow margin.
In 2014 both the men's and ladies side of the club performed well, with both the men's top side and ladies top side easily maintaining their status in Division 1 (ladies) and Capital 2 (men’s).
There were several junior premierships won in 2014, with the under 14s and the men's division 7 sides both winning the league. Oxley also had their under 18s reach the grand final as well, highlighting a very bright future down at Dunlop Park.
2015 saw the men's topside and reserve team both back in the reckoning for honours at the end of the season. Both finished fourth and qualified for the end of season finals but weren't able to add any trophies finding themselves eliminated from the finals in the first week. For the ladies it was a tough year with side finishing ninth. The men's City 7 side qualified for the finals again, whilst in terms of the juniors, they were successful in delivering the club an under 13s premiership.
After a top four finish in 2015, it was expected that the Oxley United top side and reserve team would be major threats in the Capital 2 and reserves competition in 2016. Whilst at times both sides put in good performances, they were a little off the pace and both finished mid table at the end of the season.
For the two city league sides (City 5 and City 7), it was a different story, with both having strong seasons and qualifying for the finals. Both sides found the going tough though, knocked out in the first week of the finals.
The ladies side improved on its 2015 performance running fifth in the City 2 league, just missing finals football. In the juniors, Oxley United picked up a premiership in the under 12s Div 3, with several other sides (under 12 Div 6s, under 13 and under 16s) qualifying for the end of years finals series.

My overall aim was to try for these two cats with the additional bonus of multiple bats and there species that have been regularly seen and reported in other trip reports. In 4 nights we saw all 4 cat species found in Sri Lanka (Fishing,Jungle,Rusty Spotted and Leopard) and recorded 41 mammal species.
Fishing cat was seen on the first night in Sigiriya with two different animals in distinctly different locations.One fled almost immediately and the other crossed the road twice which allowed me to take a very shaky video for a few brief seconds.The third sighting was on a night drive outside Wilpattu National Park, a large adult walking across a marsh area. The Rusty Spotted cats appeared on the last night in Sigiriya, a large adult walking away from the road into scrub and a juvenile sitting on the road. Both moved away quickly but allowed for clear views. The jungle cat was seen once in Sigiriya and once in Wilpattu on night drives. The leopard was seen on the last afternoon drive in Wilpattu.
The trip of course is built around the local knowledge of the best sites provided by the Bird and Wildlife Team and the expert spotting and identification skills of my guide (Diluksha). So it is possible, within a very short period of time to see these elusive cats. The key was becoming nocturnal with night drives starting at 10 or 11 pm and ending at 5am. Sleeping through to lunchtime and then going out in the late afternoon to a number of bat roosts which ensure that the spotting tally keeps going up. The accommodation at Sigiriya was very good but a bit commercialized for my liking and always felt I had to change out of my camo gear before eating in the massive dining hall. The tented camp at Wilpattu was perfect (only 4 safari type tents) and right on the edge of the park, so wildlife is your only neighbour.

A recent Department of Health (DoH) report found a 44 percent rise in UK hospital admissions related to malnutrition over the past five years.
The DoH revealed the number of bed days accounted for by someone with a primary or secondary diagnosis of malnutrition rose from 128,361 in 2010/11—the year the Conservative-Liberal Democrats coalition came to power—to 184,528 last year.
Malnutrition as the main cause of hospital admissions has more than doubled over the past decade. From 65,048 bed days in 2006-2007, the total surged to 184,528 hospital bed days last year.
Each bed costs the National Health Service (NHS) on average £400 a day to staff and a spell in hospital because of malnutrition averages between 22 and 23 days. Information supplied by the House of Commons library shows that 57 percent of the patients involved were women and 42 percent were aged over 65.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) classes someone as malnourished if they have a body mass index of less than 18.5, or have suffered the unintentional loss of more than 10 percent of their weight over the last three to six months, or have both a body mass index under 20 and have unintentionally seen their weight drop by more than 5 percent over the previous three to six months.
According to NHS statistics, 3 million people are at risk of malnutrition, with 7,366 of these admitted to hospital with the condition between August 2014 and July 2015, a 51 percent increase since the corresponding period from 2010 to 2011.
Speaking about the increasing numbers of elderly people being admitted to hospital with malnutrition, Simon Bottery, director of policy at the Independent Age charity, said, “These new figures on malnutrition are genuinely shocking. As a society there is no excuse for us failing to ensure that older people are able to eat enough food, of the right quality, to stay healthy.”
He continued, “Yet we have been cutting back the meals on wheels services and lunch clubs on which so many vulnerable elderly people relied and reducing the numbers who receive home care visits.”
Research by the National Association of Care Catering found that only 48 percent of local councils still provided meals on wheels, compared to 66 percent in 2014. Freedom of information requests submitted to local councils in England found that 220,000 fewer people were receiving meals on wheels in late 2014 than in 2010, a fall of 63 percent. Only 17 percent of councils in the northwest of England still do so, and 91 percent of providers expect the provision to fall further in the next year.
The response of the Department of Health to the findings was not to address the causes of malnutrition, but to glibly suggest that better data collection, more training and a paltry £500,000 to Age UK would assist in the spotting and reduction of malnutrition in the elderly.
Malnutrition is not only confined to the elderly. The figures for the rise in cases of malnutrition and other health issues show the impact of increasing poverty is widespread among all age groups. It is linked to cuts and sanctions to welfare benefits, cuts to and privatisation of health and social care services, unemployment and low pay. This is seen in the massive rise in people who now regularly depend on charities for basic food supplies.
Recent figures by the Trussell Trust, an anti-poverty charity, report a huge uptake in emergency food supplies between April 2016 and September 2016. Across the UK, they distributed 519,342 three-day emergency food supplies to people in crisis, compared to 506,369 during the same period last year. Of these, 188,584 went to children. The staggering number means that the food bank network is on course to distribute the highest number of food parcels in its 12-year history during 2016-17.
The Trust cited changes to the benefits system and low pay and unemployment as the main causes of the rising use of food banks. It said, “Benefit delays and changes have been the biggest reasons for food bank use, accounting for 44 percent of referrals to Trussell Trust food banks (27.4 percent benefit delay; 16.6 percent benefit changes). Low income was the second largest cause of a crisis, accounting for nearly one in four of all referrals to Trussell Trust food banks, driven by problems such as low pay, insecure work or rising costs.”
A long-term study into increasing levels of deprivation and social and economic inequality since 1983, “Breadline Britain: The Rise of Mass Poverty,” by Joanna Mack and Stewart Lansley, revealed poverty levels have soared, with the current figure standing at 20 million people (around a third of the population). Lansley, the co-author of the 2015 report, stated, “This study paints the most appalling picture of levels of deprivation across the country and of how generations are being denied opportunities.” He added, “It is horrifying and appalling to me that we have a society that has built into its DNA growing levels of poverty. It is completely unjust and completely unnecessary.”
Lansley warned, “You have a situation where levels of poverty will already be rising significantly and the picture can only get bleaker as people become more desperate. On current trends, the next five years will see more people in the UK in poverty, more often and for longer. Despite falling unemployment, the combination of an increasingly polarised labour market, rising housing costs and a continuing squeeze on benefits will put further pressure on low incomes.”
Linking increasing levels of poverty with economic and social inequality, the Oxfam charity revealed that in Britain millions of workers are struggling to cope to put food on the table, let alone maintain a healthy nutritious diet: “The UK is one of the richest countries in the world, but it’s a nation divided into the ‘haves’ and have-nots.’ While executive pay soars, one in five people live below the poverty line and struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table.”
Jonathon Ashworth, Labour shadow health secretary, expressed dismay at the DoH malnutrition figures, stating, “Real poverty is causing vulnerable people, particularly the elderly, to go hungry and undernourished so much so that they end up in hospital.” The research, he said, “reveals a shocking picture of levels of malnutrition in 21st century England and the impact it has on our NHS. This is unacceptable in modern Britain.”
Ashworth did not address the previous Labour government’s systematic assault on the living standards of the working class in the wake of the 2008 economic crash. He also omitted to mention that while in opposition Labour has supported every cut to welfare benefits and public services. Nor did Ashworth mention the role of Labour councils that have carried out every single cut to services and, along with the trade unions, have supported the assault on the living standards of millions of workers and the decimation of the welfare state.

Heart valve disease can reduce the pumping efficiency of the heart and eventually cause heart failure. The heart contains four valves that permit the one-way flow of blood through the heart and lungs. One or more of these valves can be damaged by disease. This damage can result in stenosis (valve narrowing), regurgitation, insufficiency (valve leaking) or a combination of stenosis and regurgitation. Some causes of valve disease include:
In adults, the most commonly affected valves are the aortic and mitral valves, and less commonly, the tricuspid and pulmonic valves. When valvular heart disease progresses to a point where the heart can no longer pump effectively, symptoms occur and may include: fluid retention, irregular heartbeat, angina (chest pressure), shortness of breath, and fainting spells. At this point, the damaged valve(s) must be repaired or replaced.
At Lahey Clinic, patients with valvular heart disease are evaluated and treated through a coordinated effort by nationally recognized clinicians and surgeons who are experts in their respective specialties. Cardiologists with expertise in cardiac imaging and the treatment of heart rhythm disorders work with a team in the cardiac catheterization laboratories and cardiovascular surgeons to diagnose and treat all types of heart valve disease. In cooperation with the American Heart Association, Lahey cardiologists have contributed to the publication of national guidelines for the management of patients with heart valve disease. Cardiologists are also involved in a variety of research programs directed at improving the quality of life for patients. State-of-the-art care from Lahey's team of nationally recognized cardiologists reduces complications and morbidity, and thus, improves the survival of patients with heart valve disease..
Valvular surgery includes both repair and replacement procedures.
Repair surgery is most commonly performed on the mitral and tricuspid valves. This surgery may involve:
In certain situations associated with aneurysms, a leaking aortic valve may be preserved instead of replaced.
When a valve is too badly damaged for repair, valve replacement is performed using one of three general types of replacement valves:
The major difference between mechanical and biological valves relates to durability and the need for anticoagulation. Any replacement valve can fail prematurely or unexpectedly, but this is rare. The majority of replacement valves will behave reliably and in a predictable pattern. Mechanical valves are the most durable type of replacement valve, typically lasting a lifetime. However, they are slightly more prone to blood clot buildup on the valve apparatus, which could cause the valve to malfunction or produce a blood clot that could travel to another part of the body. This tendency for blood clot development can be greatly reduced by prescribing an anticoagulant, a medicine that reduces the ability of blood to clot. Anticoagulants are taken daily, and the dose is adjusted based on periodic blood testing. Bioprosthetic valves, on the other hand, usually do not require anticoagulation long-term unless the patient has certain chronic heart rhythm abnormalities. A daily aspirin is usually sufficient to prevent blood clots from forming. However, over the course of 12 to 15 years, these valves may begin to wear out and in some cases another operation may be required to replace them. Patient age at the time of valve surgery influences the longevity of bioprosthetic valves - these valves last longer in older patients. Thus, bioprosthetic valves generally make good sense in older patients who have bleeding tendencies, as well as in any other patients who cannot take anticoagulants. Because the longevity of bioprosthetic valves is significantly reduced in patients under the age of 50, mechanical valves are typically most appropriate for younger patients. However, for younger patients requiring aortic valve replacement and for whom anticoagulation is undesirable, an aortic homograft valve may be best. These valves do not normally require Coumadin and usually last longer than bioprosthetic valves, although they too will ultimately wear out and need to be replaced. All types of valves are well-tolerated by the body and will not be "rejected." However, they are foreign materials, and are therefore prone to infection. Any necessary, major dental work - especially involving abscessed teeth or gums - should be performed before surgery. After your valve surgery, be certain to let your dentist and all other physicians know that you have an artificial heart valve so they can give you antibiotics before performing certain invasive procedures, operations, or dental work.

International Men’s Day is open to people with different points of view
Men’s day founder Dr Jerome Teelucksingh wanted the day to be one of unity and solidarity between people so International Men’s Day supports everybody who makes a positive contribution that builds community and understanding between people. It is open to all people regardless of whether they identify with ‘men’s rights activists’, feminists, left-wing, right-wing etc.
International Men’s Day supports International Women’s Day
International Men’s Day fully supports International Women’s Day as an important day to highlight the ongoing issues facing women. It strengthens International Women’s Day by giving space for the discussion of men’s issues away from the discussion of women’s issues and promotes the discussion of how men can support women, gender equality and make society better for everyone.
International Men’s Day breaks from traditional stereotypes
International Men’s Day breaks with traditional stereotypes of masculinity by promoting discussion about the negative aspects of traditional gender roles for men, encouraging the men to talk about being vulnerable, and supporting men in non-traditional roles.
International Men’s Day supports different definitions of ‘masculinity’
The grassroots, inclusive nature of International Men’s Day allows people to define ‘man’, ‘manhood’ and ‘masculinity’ in ways that make sense for them. Everybody has their own understanding and can participate in their own way. |

I've got it on the way from Lovefilm so I've decided to not read any reviews and see how I find it myself.
Resi 5 was very much a Marmite game - and one that I actually really enjoyed so I find it very hard to go by any review for any of the newer action orientated Resi games.
The series certainly isn't what it was in terms of Survival Horror but I just sort of go in and expect a pretty solid action game these days.
I'll be interested in seeing if this is the first core Resi game that I don't enjoy as I've Loved Resi1,2,3,4,5,0 and CV so far - i think my alltime fave one has been the REmake on the cube - played that one to death!
rbevanx@ CheekyLee
There have been three versions I have played of RE1 which is the original version, directors cut and the Gamecube remake all three are brill. I never played the Game Boy colour version though, so I have no idea how that worked and what bits they used, as things are different in the three versions I played from what I can remember.
2 is also my fav of the series, which is the easiest but my God...just fantastic still for me :)

squidman@ FantasyMeister
Though nobody in the world can drive the Borderlands vehicles elegantly. Fact.
FantasyMeister@ squidman
In other words one man's meat is another man's poison, e.g. whilst transport in Borderlands 2 might feel to you like "twitchy, unpredictable vehicles that handle like a bull on ice" personally I'm able to fling them about at high speed and pin-point precision, so that's an example of your negative becoming my positive :)
squidman@ FantasyMeister
@Neon-Soldier32
1) Yes
2) No :(
3) Made very little difference to my experience. It's more than something they've plonked on to just say it's got co-op; there's different paths through the levels depending on which character you are and you get character-specific weapons, too, so they've made some effort to make it work as a co-op game. But, like I said, when I was playing it in co-op I wasn't having either a better or a worse time.
Interesting point about the schizophrenia thing - I read up on it and you're right. Now I feel like a fool :(
FantasyMeister
I'll definitely pick it up when it hits the £19.99 mark (true for any game nowadays, I've got so many now I'm not in a rush) as I quite enjoyed 5, and whilst weapon upgrades are replaced by a perk system in this one the option of infinite ammo etc., is still there so I still get to grind for something worthwhile.
Plus by all accounts it's a huge game, loads of content, and jumping into someone else's game as a monster to try and kill the host for extra points (conversely they get points if they survive) seems like a natural progression for the series.

But everything else and will even include the gun games I just hated. I wanna see the original 3 at least to get HD remakes.
Did do the original 3 this Spring actually as I still have my PS1 games, also did Syndycate Wars after having a random game craving for PS1.

Yeah I would like to know that, but it's still a no buy for me even for cheap. I liked the demo (well only Leon's part) but there cleary wasn't enough there for me to warrant 20 hours of my time.
Sounds like Max Payne 3 all over again to me with the focus on quantity/story rather than a game going from Martin's review which was good btw :) |
History
Before the Great Migration, the area of today’s Poland was predominantly inhabited by East Germanic tribes. Slavs immigrated to the region from the 6th century. At the end of the 10th century, the Poles adopted Latin Christianity. With the coronation of Bolesław I from the Piast dynasty, Poland became a kingdom in 1025. From 1386 to 1569 Poland came under the Jagiellonian dynasty, which ruled Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine. With the marriage of the Polish heir to the throne Hedwig in 1386 with the Lithuanian Grand Duke Jagiełło, the independent empires of Poland and Lithuania were united under a common monarch (Polish-Lithuanian Personal union). After King Sigismund II had no male successor, Poland became an elective monarchy in 1572. In the period that followed, the Polish throne was often occupied by foreign princes. Increasing Russian interference and the aristocratic parties that fell apart in a civil war resulted in the first partition of Poland. Poland lost about a quarter of its territory to Prussia, Russia and Austria. Revolts by the Poles against the partitioning powers led to the second (1793) and third (1795) partition after their suppression. The country had thus lost its state independence.
It was not until 1918, after the First World War, that Poland regained its statehood. On September 1, 1939, the Second World War began with the invasion of Poland by German troops. After the war, in which around six million Poles lost their lives under German occupation, Poland was compensated for ceding territories to the Soviet Union with former German eastern territories. The now dominant influence of the Soviet Union led to the restructuring of the economy and society under the communist auspices and to integration into the Eastern Bloc.
The quest for more democracy and economic decline led to the establishment of the independent trade union Solidarność in 1980, chaired by L. Wałęsa. Although party and government leader W. Jaruzelski imposed martial law, democratization could no longer be stopped. The first free elections took place in 1991. In 1997 a new constitution came into force. Poland has been a member of NATO since 1999. In 2004 Poland joined the European Union. There was a shift to the right in the 2005 presidential and parliamentary elections. The Law and Justice Party (PiS) became the strongest force in parliament. Your top candidate L. Kaczyński († 2010) also won the presidential election. From 2007 to 2015, the liberal-conservative citizens’ platform ruled. In 2015, the PiS was able to win an absolute majority. Their top candidate A. Duda became president.
Culture
The introduction of Christianity marked the beginning of the cultural development of Poland. Religious motifs were the focus of artistic creation at the beginning. Since the end of the Middle Ages, Polish culture has received important impulses from what is now Germany, Italy and France. The old royal seat of Krakow in particular shows magnificent examples from Polish architectural history such as the Gothic cathedral or the Wawel Castle in the Italian Renaissance style. Visit beautypically.com for Poland a historical cultural site.
The Polish art appeared in the 19th century by the history paintings of J. Matejko in appearance. At the turn of the century, new art movements such as symbolism (J. Malczewski) and constructivism (W. Strzemiński) received great attention. In the post-war period, Polish poster art was also internationally successful.
The Polish literature began in Bible translations from the 14th and 15th centuries and has produced many well-known representatives in the course of history. A. Mickiewicz created the national epic »Pan Tadeusz« in 1834. H. Sienkiewicz received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905 for his novel “Quo vadis?” The writer S. Lem is one of the most famous science fiction authors. After the dissolution of the communist regime (1989), literature experienced an upswing through the return of exiles, e.g. C. Miłosz, and the turn to new themes and forms.
With directors such as R. Polanski, A. Wajda and K. Kieślowski, Poland has risen to become one of the leading film countries. With »Pan Tadeusz« (1999, by A. Wajda) and »Quo vadis?« (2001, by J. Kawalerowicz), the film takes up Polish literary sources.
In the Polish philosophy was to the 19th century scholasticism determining. In the 20th century, especially after World War II, Marxist philosophy came to the fore. Christian Catholic philosophy has been the mainstream since 1989.
Probably the most famous composer in Poland is F. Chopin. He wrote almost exclusively piano pieces which also incorporate elements of Polish folk music. In this way he brought the folk dances Mazurka, Polonaise and Krakowiak international recognition. At the same time he inspired other composers and pianists such as A. Rubinstein (Polish music). Jazz plays a special role in Polish musical life. It saw itself as an expression of the Polish striving for freedom and was not welcomed by the communist regime in post-war Poland. Nevertheless, it enjoyed enormous popularity and developed an independent Polish style (»Polski Jazz«) in the 1950s. The best-known representative from this period is Krzysztof Komeda (* 1931, † 1969).
Winter sports play a major role in sport, especially ski jumping. The most important winter sports resort in Poland is Zakopane. Ball sports such as soccer, volleyball, handball, basketball and tennis are also very popular. The Polish national soccer team won the gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics. |
Randolph, Henry men held in drug investigations
WINCHESTER, Ind. – An investigation by Union City police into an odor – of marijuana – emanating from a Stateline Road home resulted in a local man’s arrest on heroin-related charges.
Ryan Michael Keen, 35, was taken into custody late Tuesday after authorities responded to a report of “the smell of marijuana” in the 300 block of North Stateline Road.
“The smell of burnt marijuana was apparent before even reaching the front” of Keen’s home, an officer wrote in an affidavit.
A search of the house resulted in seizure of a bag containing heroin, three syringes, a set of digital scales and other drug paraphernalia, authorities said.
Keen was arrested on preliminary charges of dealing in a narcotic drug, possession of a narcotic drug, possession of a drug device and maintaining a common nuisance.
Randolph County Prosecutor David Daly’s office was given until Monday to file formal charges in the case.
In other court news:
Meth arrest: New Castle police said they were searching for another person in a city home Thursday when they found a local felon hiding in the basement, in close proximity to plastic bags containing meth.
Edward Miller Broderson Jr., 51, allegedly tried to persuade officers he was a different person.
He was charged Friday in Henry Circuit Court 1 with dealing in meth, a Level 3 felony carrying up to 16 years in prison, and false informing, a misdemeanor.
Broderson’s long criminal record includes convictions for auto theft, dealing in meth, driving after a lifetime suspension, driving as a habitual traffic violator, possession of meth, receiving stolen property, residential entry and trespassing. |
I shouted myself a Chrissie present this year. A NCE Pro 5 AMP (with power supply), radio Pro cab, and a basic tethered cab control, along with 20 basic (3 function) decoders. It has an iface for the pooter too, but that'll get plugged in at some stage later. I was gunna plug in on to some track (and programming track) last night, however had to suffice reading the manual by candlelight. Had a storm go through, and it blew down a few power poles about 8 kilometres away. So didn't have any power for 16 hours. So plugging it in will have to wait till tonight. But I digress...... The default (factory set) loco address is "3" according to the manual, and you set the loco address on the programming track. Then you can move it to the main track and do the rest, if you wish. However, what, after say a while, you forget what loco address you gave that loco? How can you find it out, without having to step through from 1 to who knows how many on the cab, and try and drive it, to find out what it was? Can you just put it back on the programming track and set it to a new loco address, and have the decoder retain it's settings? |

"There is first a discourse that precedes and enables that "I"
and forms in languages the constraining trajectory of its will.
There is no "I" who stands behind discourse" and executes its volition...
On the contrary, the "I" only comes into being by being called, named...
The impossibility of full recognition...of ever fully inhabiting the name
implies the instability and incompleteness in the subject-formation.
The "I" is thus a citation of the place of the "I" in speech,...
a certain priority and anonymity with respect to the life it animates"
Judith Butler, "Critically Queer"
*************************************
What is in a Name?
This last Friday, the Medieval and Early Modern Institute at the George Washington University held a talk in which we discussed, among other things, the priority of the ontological subject (in this case an old Casket) over its name and network. The issue at hand seemed to be how a body can be an identifiable thing, with its own distinct dignity, and also be composed of multiplicities and participate in a wider ecology. Can we think in terms of proper names and also in terms of networks? Of Course, but we find that while the named assemblage becomes all the more important for being so called, the act of naming is not a very distinct act.
Michel Foucault performatively asks "What is an Author?" and "What difference does it make who is speaking?" A reactionary might see this rhetorical move which assumes either "everything" or "nothing" is the corresponding answer and that these are answers are equivalent. Of course Foucault would not serve his author-function if the outcome of his work is that we fall into universalism and through it into ideology which is unseeing or uncaring about distinctions or disproportionate flows of power. The author-function in fact is one such very process which notes distinctions and discursive networks of power.
Judith Butler speaks of the place of the "I" and Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari speak of haecceities, masses, molar identities, bodies without organs, packs, and the list goes on for all the different ways we can look at named bodies. It might be surprising that so much attention is given to "individuals" by thinkers we spend so much time focusing on the decentered and networked aspects of things, but it would be impossible to think it networks without some sort of way to think in masses; its like trying to imagine a forest without trees.
Naming serves on one level, a practical function. While a named thing is no less networked for being identified by certain boundaries, it is useful to be able to refer to a specific set of things because we are incapable or acting or perceiving all things at once. Thus naming is on one level an act of humility, we cannot know or serve all things simultaneously. We can talk to a person, we can pick up a rock, we can pet a dog, but it would be harder to talk to America, pick up an ecosystem or play fetch with a species. Also, there is an ontological level in which this assemblage is qualitatively distinct from any other part of the network, at any other time or place.
As we participate in transformation, however, it is likewise pragmatic to change names, either through remarking the boundaries of their associated objects (which is perpetually slipping and growing) or by changing the name when a name's signified boundaries are too rigid to helpfully describe the bodies it describes (such as Romeo and Juliet's family names or the transgender person who is transitioning, or a Catholic after Confirmation). Also, the recognition that bodies exist in multiple networks at once and can be identifies by multiple names at once, each one drawing attention to a specific assemblage or dynamic set of relations.
O, Be Some Other Name!
“What does it mean to love somebody? It is always to seize that person in a mass, extract him or her from a group, however small, in which he or she participates, whether it be through the family only or through something else;
What is Romeo? He is just a name, but one which designates a certain network of things (probably, but contingently, a skeleton, some muscles, Leo's fabulous fair and eyes, maybe even a Hawaiian shirt). Montague of course designates another network which includes but expands beyond, and genetically through, Romeo (a bunch of human bodies, properties, corporate symbols are included here).
The question Juliet seems to asking is whether the defined borders of these networks are inherent, essential, and unchangeable. Could we take Romeo out of the Montague network and change his name? Yes, but it would require stopping every perpetuation of the act of asserting that relationship to the network and name on him (which is quite hard). Or, we could take him out of the network, or change the behavior of the network, but keep the name. This would in fact change the function of the name Montague.
Other things can change the act/power/function of a name and this by introducing new things into the physical/discursive network which it marks. Within the drama of the play, Juliet and Romeo respectively enter into each other's networks, knitting them together, and changing the shape/flow of both.
Ironically, while the question of changing family names are a focal point of the play, we do not discover whether Romeo or Juliet take one another's names. The lack of the renaming ceremony, in fact the relative lack of (public) ceremony highlights the contingent discursive network of naming. That is: can Romeo be a Capulet or Juliet a Montague without the recognition of others?
The performative act of becoming married lacks the naming-function until it is publicly pronounced/revealed at the play's conclusion, after the lovers are already dead. Thus Romeo, who was present and effected by the marriage approaches Tybalt now as under a common name, they are functionally the same body/family. Tybalt on the other hand is unaffected by the marriage performative, leading into a brawl which ends in Mercutio's death, Tybalt's death and Romeo's exile. Likewise, Juliet refuses to marry Paris because she is effected by being named wife of Romeo, a shared identity of Romeo + Juliet that cannot admit another in the same manner (unless Romeo is named as dead or the performative annulled). Her parents however are unaffected and unaware of her renaming and thus press the marriage to Paris, causing her to take desperate measures.
The function of names is powerful, but contingent. A name can bestow subjectivity (Butler), can bestow authority/agency (Foucault), can sanction the integration of bodies (Deleuze and Guattari) and dictates the relation between bodies in a network (Romeo and Juliet) but each naming requires that the performative act be witnessed and received as felicitous. Of course, as Butler notes, this position of the name is unstable and incomplete. Thus we can see a reading of Romeo and Juliet as the failure of over-determined and under-determined bonds of naming.

That Name, which is no part of thee, Take All Myself

by which in our culture one limits, excludes, and chooses;
in short, by which one impedes the free circulation,
the free manipulation, the free composition,

Michel Foucault, "The Author Function"
In the storytelling of Rome + Juliet, with the introduction of images and sound, other things may also be brought together physically and representationally to change the function of the words/names/networks. For instance, to mark the transition of Romeo's poetry from a simple listing of contradictions early in the play with Romeo's poetry of more subtle interplays later on, the movie sets up a parallel structure in the representation of Romeo as poet. When we first meet Romeo, he is sitting, smoking alone, composing his verse in a journal and recognizable music plays as he speaks. Later, in exile, we find Romeo, sitting, smoking alone, and composing his verse as the same recognizable music plays as he speaks. Both these scenes/lines exist in Shakespeare's text, but the movie uses other things to act on the scene which serve to connect them as parallel, but with notable differences: i.e. his poetry is better.
Another such instance, these are marked/named by the introduction of new actants, specifically Juliet and water. When we first meet Juliet, she is shown through the water of a tub. When Romeo first meets Juliet, she is shown through a fish tank. When Romeo and Juliet have their rising action (the marriage proposal/balcony scene) we see Juliet marked with the reflective light of a pool, then through the pool water when she and Romeo fall into it. After their climax (literally and dramatically) the lovers rework the classic argument "is that the morning bird or the nightingale?" while under the blankets, which stand in for the flow of being under water. At last in the epilogue, just after the lovers die, we are shown these exact scenes, finally resting on the image of their underwater kiss.
While this storyline exists in the text, the introduction of the water into the physical / representational space of the lines marks these scenes as participating in a network and flowing in a certain direction; in other words, it NAMES the network. The act/function of naming does not necessarily create new things or separate them from other networks, but draws out attention to regard certain things as together in a set, in a certain way.
So as we see, naming as a function and naming ability to be plastic (i.e. our ability to name any number of things) does not mean that an author/name is universalized or negated. By naming things we mark different things in a network and different networks to draw attention to how they act in certain ways and thus inform us on how we might inter-act or change with them. Thus as noted, Romeo and Juliet might live, we might appreciate the text in new ways, a transgender person may be recognized by their gender, or a confirmed Catholic might be recognized as a member of the Church, if a community is able to participate in the act of naming, which is an ongoing, incomplete, unstable, and dynamic production of identity.

A thousand young men in Texas have gathered to create their own government and organizationally experience just what it takes to run a campaign. What is revealed in Amanda McBain and Jesse Moss’ staggering new work, is an exacting microcosm of American politics, as it has influenced a new generation of Political Scientists. Many of the young men arrive with their own ideas of how things are done, their own beliefs about how government and country ought to operate, never challenged, and instilled by folks of the same beliefs within their community. As the gubernatorial contest rolls, some participants meld their beliefs into those of the created party. Others stand true to their hearts, not only here for the notoriety of doing the thing, but because they have a deep sense of wrong and right and must practice their beliefs. Some still use the event as something else entirely, to repeat the vicious cycle of political organizing perpetuated by adults, like they are auditioning for a frat house.
Boys State is an annual event held in select states. Famous alumni such as Bill Clinton, Beau Biden, Dick Cheney, Roger Ebert, and Bruce Springsteen have emerged from Boys State competitions. It’s the final moment of youth before teenagers are molded into men and let out to go effect lasting change in the country, and at the dawn of their coming-of-age story, it is both enlightening and terrifying what they produce, in their own diorama of government. The story follows four contestants through the entire course of the race, as they are sectioned off into two parties (Federalists and Nationalists), and must build their own senate, although the doc is naturally most interested in the highest attainable position as Governor, which produces at least one amazing human interest story.
Steven Garza arrives as a fully formed politician. And he is just the kind America needs. Bright and socially aware, Garza’s path to Governorship is anything but guaranteed. Initially, the teens must secure thirty signatures to make the ballot. While other men impress themselves upon the group socially, Steven waits patiently, working toward more meaningful conversations, and genuine support. Surrounded by conservatives, Steven is a lone duck, projecting only his values and the esteem enriched in him by a wonderful family who tell the full story of America. It is rare to be truly inspired by such young men, but Steven is a capital guy, whose honesty and perseverance shine through at every obstacle. When his social presence leaks out from the opposing campaign (which also freely disseminates racist memes), a picture of him at a March for our Lives event nearly stops his campaign dead. Because he is strong and knows what it feels like to overcome such obstacles, Steven continually reshapes and refines his party’s agenda, and comes away looking like a true leader. He gets a little help from friend René Otero — an enormously charismatic speaker with a big heart that never flutters, even as his party tries often to impeach him and muddy his name.
And here’s where it all hits the fan. Many of the boys have learned from what they have seen. They have genuine conversations about the way President Donald Trump won the election. They admire and facilitate his views. It’s all a bit Lord of the Flies. Given free reign and complete political freedom, most attendees would rather Texas secede from the States. They shout for guns and hoot and holler against pro-choice agendas. It’s a tough little world that directly reflects our own. What they’ve learned from their parents. The Federalist party, running against Steven’s Nationalists, take to slimy political memes, disparaging their opposition, and running roughshod with absurd Trumpian logic, playing to the basest instincts of their followers. The behavior and ideas they express, while disturbing, also make a whole lot of sense of the world.
Boys State is an important movie right now. Come November, it may become staggeringly important. It is likely to sweep any awards for documentary the next year. The way Amanda McBain and Jesse Moss have framed their political microcosm is not only prescient and socially necessary, but it plays out like a written film. It has more structure and composition than many planned films. Often, it is so completely absorbing, it never feels like a documentary at all. Perhaps it’s because we know what it is. It captures the fundamental truth of the country’s democratic process. Boys State is American politics.
One thought on “Boys State: The Documentary of the Election Year” |
The person who coined the phrase ‘Time flies’ wasn’t joking was he? It only seems like five minutes since I began my gravel pit bream campaign, and here I am, writing about how it went. I have been fishing two-night sessions and in this final week I managed to get two such trips in. After three successive blanks, my confidence level was high. Surely I wouldn’t blank for five trips on the trot. Would I?
Well, setting up for the first of this week’s sessions, there was nothing wrong with my confidence level. However, even though confidence is an important part of angling, ultimately it takes more than that to put fish on the bank. In spite of having the utmost faith in my baiting up, tackle and positioning of bait, I still blanked.
With lots of time during the hours of daylight, I was able to enjoy the natural surroundings of the gravel pit. Since first fishing there in March, I have witnessed the whole of nature bud and blossom. Even the usually pretty drab and ordinary Hawthorn bush had suddenly come alive with colour. There really is so much to appreciate, as we look around at the wonderful natural world in which we live.
I also added a new species to my bird list for the year, taking the total to 73. It was only by chance that I picked up the binoculars, for a casual sweep across the pit. Amongst the Great Crested Grebes, Moorhens, Coots and Mallards, I spotted a solitary Ruddy Duck. It stayed for no more than five minutes, before it left in search of waters new.
Now is also the time that the birds that have been successful in breeding, are out and about with their offspring in tow. A couple of slices of bread soon had a family of Canada Geese around the peg, with the young looking as if the word ‘cute’ had been invented just for them.
Weather wise this first session was plagued with torrential showers. Although they only lasted for a few minutes, they were very intense, and I was glad to be in a bivvy as opposed to just basic shelter. I had noticed another angler had set up for the night with just a standard umbrella. He was certainly in for a wet time!
The second night again proved to be very quiet as far as the fishing was concerned. But to round off my campaign, I was back a couple of days later to give it my best shot, and hopefully go out with a bang. This time the weather was hot – with the temperatures reaching the low 20’s – and not a drop of rain in sight.
However, instead of a bang, I went out with a whimper! Nothing at all could be tempted to take my bait. But, as any bream angler will testify, this is par for the course when pursuing big slabs. The thrill of bream fishing is not necessarily with the fight, but the initial capture!
As I woke for the last morning of the campaign, I was greeted with a powerful sun trying to fight its way through the mist. I quickly grabbed my camera and caught what I consider to be a very beautiful scene. A moment or two later and it was gone, as the sun overpowered its way through and burst into the sky. Any angler that night fished regularly will have many memories of not only wonderful sunrises, but also sunsets as well.
With the bream on the pit mainly coming out at night, as we are now into summer, my fishing time is little more than six or seven hours in the twenty-four hour cycle. The hot, sunny days and the still, mirror like surface of the water is not conducive at all for bream fishing. Plus, the water temperatures have brought the fish into spawning mode – probably why I’ve been blanking!
Hence it was time to call it a day. Plus I have a few other things to do (angling wise) before the love of my life – the rivers – open up on June 16th. As with all campaigns, we have to look at the big picture, and in that respect it has been quite successful. It would have been nice to have spread the blanks out though, rather than have them concentrated at the end! Still, with a new personal best bream to come out of it all, as an end of term report I must give it a B.
