No fewer than 273 girls were abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, by suspected Boko Haram insurgents two weeks ago. The House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh and other Service Chiefs, over the remaining abducted school girls in Borno. Of the number, 43 girls escaped from the captors unharmed. However, the house at the plenary urged the security agencies to expedite action in rescuing the abdicated girls. It further urged the National Emergency Management Agency to provide relief materials to those whose houses and shops were destroyed during the incident. The house also urged government to seek for foreign assistance in rescuing the girls. This resolution emanated from a motion by Peter Gumtha (APC-Borno), which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Gumtha said that 43 girls abducted escaped from their captors while 230 were still in captivity. According to him, rescue effort was hindered due to the neglect of the 50km untarred Mbala-Chibok-Damboa Road. He said that up till this moment, the parents of the girls were yet to receive any reliable information from the security agencies about their children. Robinson Uwak (PDP-Akwa Ibom) said that the country's security system should be scrutinised. He, however, attributed the security lapses to the low morale of the military who were currently engaged in fighting the insurgents. Mr. Uwak and Nnenna Ukeje (PDP-Abia) stressed the need for Nigeria to collaborate with other countries to check the boarders with the view to rescuing the girls and to fight insurgency. Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi (PDP-Enugu) said unless there was synergy between West African countries the situation would be helpless. Farouk Lawan (PDP-Kano) said in spite of the presence of the military in Borno and Yobe, terrorism activities were still high. Meanwhile, Francis Ezenwa, formerly of APGA in Imo and Charles Odedo formerly of APC (Anambra), defected to the ruling PDP.

Dr. David Ambaras – a New Book and a European Lecture Series April 3, 2019 | Ingrid Hoffius In March, Associate Professor David Ambaras traveled to Europe to give a series of invited lectures on his recently published book Japan's Imperial Underworlds: Intimate Encounters at the Borders of Empire (Cambridge University Press, 2018). Ambaras spoke at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Edinburgh, at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. While in Paris, Ambaras helped lead a workshop to advise early-career French scholars on publishing in English-language Japanese Studies journals. Japan's Imperial Underworlds excavates long-forgotten histories of child trafficking, marriage migration, travel and adventure writing, and piracy in the spaces between Japan and China from the 1860s to the 1930s. Ambaras argues that transgressive intimacies between Japanese and Chinese fundamentally shaped the territorial borders and imaginative geographies that defined Japan's imperial world and continue to inform present-day views of China. Ambaras also spoke about Japan's Imperial Underworlds on a recent Meiji at 150 podcast, and in an author Q&A for the Weatherhead East Asia Institute. You can learn more about Dr. David Ambaras HERE.

Q: (SOLVED) Calculus Integration $\int_1^2 \frac{2}{((x^2)(x+1))}dx $, where's my mistake? Integrate (upper limit =2, lower limit = 1) $\int_1^2 \frac{2}{((x^2)(x+1))}dx $ My ans: $1+2\ln(3/2)$ Lecturer ans: $1+2\ln(3/4)$ Checked multiple times, can't find out where's the careless mistake (if any) PLEASE HELP! A: Via partial fraction decomposition, we can break this integral as: $$\begin{align}\int_1^2 \frac{2}{x^2(x+1)}dx & = 2\int_1^2 \frac{dx}{x^2(x+1)} \\ & = 2\int_1^2\left[-\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x+1}\right]dx \\ & = 2\left[-\ln|x| - \frac{1}{x} + \ln|x+1|\right]_1^2 \\ & = 2\left[\ln\left|\frac{x+1}{x}\right| - \frac{1}{x}\right]_1^2 \\ & = 2\left[\ln\left|\frac{3}{2}\right| - \frac{1}{2} - \ln|2| - (-1)\right]\\ & = 2\left[\ln\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) + \frac{1}{2}\right] \\ & = 2\ln\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) + 1\end{align}$$ A: Even without doing the integration, it's possible to see that the answer $1+2\ln(3/2)$ cannot be correct: Because of the $x+1$ in the numerator, the integrand $2/(x^2(x+1))$ is less than $1$ for $x\gt1$, so the integral from $x=1$ to $2$ (an interval of length $1$) is less than $1$. But $3/2\gt1$ implies $\ln(3/2)\gt0$, which makes the purported answer greater than $1$. This doesn't mean that $1+2\ln(3/4)$ is necessarily correct, but at least $\ln(3/4)\lt0$ means $1+2\ln(3/4)\lt1$.

SRINAGAR: Building up the tension to India's Independence Day in Kashmir, a pre-dawn gun battle in Batamaloo led to the killing of a policeman, injuries to another policeman, two CRPF troopers, and to the owner of the house where five militants were hiding, two of whom the police arrested and three of whom escaped, on Sunday. ADGP Law and Order Muneer Ahmed Khan told reporters that the encounter started between 3:30am and 4am, after government forces received "specific input" of presence of militants in Derwani locality of Batamaloo. He said that during the search, militants opened fire and a gun battle ensued. A wreath-laying ceremony was held for slain policeman Parvaiz Ahmad at District Police Lines Srinagar. A police spokesperson said the slain cop was a resident of village Dandote in Tehsil Budhal, Rajouri district. Khan did not share details about the arrested militants. He said the house was a major hideout of the militants in Srinagar, but which has now been busted. Kashmir Range Inspector General of Police (IGP) Swayam Prakash Pani also did not say to which outfit the militants belonged. He said two important "accomplices" of the militants had been arrested. The encounter site is just meters away from the Civil Secretariat Srinagar, and from the spot where a CRPF man was killed by militants some days ago. This area has huge presence of government forces round the clock. In the past few days, the forces have erected temporary bunkers and have been frisking automobiles as part of security measures ahead of August 15, Independence Day. The Special Operations Group (SOG) of police assisted by paramilitary CRPF had conducted the cordon and search operation (CASO) in Derwani locality of Batamaloo today. Muneer Khan said that Derwani is a dense residential area where "collateral damage" was mostly likely, but the discipline exercised by government forces prevented it. He said police did a commendable job in preventing militants from having a base in the city.

Secretary Pompeo: On the Occasion of Eid-al-Fitr Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State Susan and I extend our warmest wishes to Muslims around the world who are celebrating Eid al-Fitr. Over the past month, Muslims at home and abroad have fasted, centered around spiritual reflection, community and values of gratitude, compassion, and generosity, and have adapted to practicing their faith and observing Ramadan in a world changed by a global pandemic. Ramadan and Eid serve as reminders of the importance of community, acts of service, and protection of fundamental freedoms such as religion or belief, especially in this time of crisis. During this global pandemic, Muslim communities such as Uighurs, Rohingya, and others who face harsh challenges to practice their faith have faced even greater threats, including scapegoating, harassment, and confinement. We are especially grateful for the many private Islamic relief organizations, in America and around the world, whose heroic work has saved lives. We join the Muslim community in standing in solidarity with the oppressed, no matter their faith or interpretation, and call on all governments to protect religious freedom for all.

I remember my mother saying I must be psychic because I got chills when people mentioned certain things. It would be little things that struck me out of the blue, but usually they'd turn out to have some meaning later on. Like the time my brother was talking about crashing his red Hot Wheels car into the wall so hard it would explode into a million pieces, and I told him never to joke about it, but I was so serious he started crying and my mother scolded me. An hour later we learned my Aunt was rear-ended by a red sports car, she was ok, but I wasn't able to sleep that night at all. Apart from things like that though, I liked the idea of being psychic. Since all I ever got were weird flashes that only seemed meaningful after the fact, it wasn't something I ever felt like I could count on. When Great Gran mentioned that the kind of things that could hide in shadows were a "real nightmare" though? That sent a chill through me the size of an iceberg. It doesn't make sense to fidget as a ghost. No body means our actions aren't much more than pantomimes. Didn't stop me from running my left hand along my right arm though. Some habits die hard, and some habits just won't die at all. She had her hands on her knees, massaging them, and was rocking slowly back and forth on the bench that sat kitty corner to the one I was on. She glanced over at me, reading my expression I think, or maybe waiting to see if I would interrupt her. I didn't. She clearly wasn't done explaining things yet. I was rewarded for that decision with a smile and a small nod before she continued on. "Like with ghosts," I said, after Great Gran paused to see if I was following. I stopped rubbing my arm and drew in a breath. I knew how I felt, but knowing what I was exactly, or even how things worked for me? I couldn't claim to have the first clue about that. Not really. "How does that work?" I asked, leaning forward a bit. "So why do people like us stick around?" I asked. "I can't remember any of it I'm afraid," I said. "It sounds like we cast a spell to do it or something," I said. "And that's what ectoplasm is?" I asked. "Let's hope not," Great Gran said. "Because if they got a taste for you, they're going to want a whole lot more," she said.

Global minerals, arms smuggling networks fuel DR Congo conflict - UN report UN News - December 7, 2009 Minerals and arms smuggling worth millions of dollars persists in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) despite international sanctions, fuelling rebel strength despite national army operations, and army and rebel soldiers continue to kill civilians, according to a new United Nations report that calls on the Security Council to take action to plug the gaps. The independent Group of Experts monitoring UN sanctions on the DRC reports that the mainly Rwandan Hutu rebels of the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) continue to exploit gold and cassiterite in North and South Kivu provinces with the help of trading networks in Uganda, Burundi and the United Arab Emirates, while irregular arms deliveries have come from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Sudan. End buyers for cassiterite include the Malaysia Smelting Corporation and the Thailand Smelting and Refining Company, which is held by United Kingdom-based Amalgamated Metals Corporation, the experts add. The rebels also get weapons leaked to them from the army itself while the rebel diaspora abroad, particularly in Europe, coordinates fundraising and operations. "The increasing rate of FDLR combatant defections and FDLR temporary removal from many of its bases are only a partial success, considering that the armed group has regrouped in a number of locations in the Kivus, and continues to recruit new fighters," they write of the army's offensive, noting that the rebels continue to benefit from residual but significant support from top army commanders and external support networks in Burundi and Tanzania. "FDLR has a far-reaching international diaspora network involved in the day-to-day running of the movement, the coordination of military and arms trafficking activities and the management of financial activities." The report calls on the Security Council to ask Member States to share data on active FDLR diaspora members, prosecute sanctions violations by nationals or leaders of armed groups residing in their territories and take steps to prevent companies from supporting such groups by trade in natural resources. The Council should also call on all States in the Great Lakes region to immediately publish their full import and export statistics for gold, cassiterite, coltan and wolframite and centralize them in a body chaired by an independent auditor mandated to verify any statistical anomalies. "The focus of the report is the international, regional and local networks that are fuelling the crisis in eastern Congo," Group Coordinator Dinesh Mahtani told a news conference. The experts call on the Council to strengthen the authority of the UN Mission in the DRC (MONUC) in monitoring the arms embargo, and to reiterate its request to Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, the Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia to provide full data on all flights to or from the DRC. On human rights abuses, they call on the Council to mandate MONUC to set up a vetting mechanism to screen the records of national army officers and impose disciplinary and judicial sanctions on gross human rights abusers. "FARDC (the national army) and FDLR have been involved in significant killings of civilians and other abuses from March to October 2009, causing additional waves of displacement of several hundred thousand civilians," they write. Turning to the efforts to reintegrate former rebels into the army, the experts report that the officer class of another group, the Congrès national pour la défense du peuple (CNDP), in particular General Bosco Ntaganda, has continued to retain heavy weapons from its period of rebellion and still controls revenue-generating activities and parallel local administrations. They call on the Council to urge the DRC authorities to remove General Ntaganda from the position of Deputy Commander of Kimia II operations (the offensive against FDLR) and implement an assets freeze and travel ban against him, since his name is included in the list of individuals under sanctions. "CNDP military officers deployed as part of FARDC Kimia II operations have profited from their deployment in mineral-rich areas, notably at the Bisie mine in Walikale, North Kivu, and in the territory of Kalehe, in South Kivu," they write. "In both these areas, the FARDC commanding officers on the ground are former CNDP officers," they add, citing evidence showing direct involvement of CNDP military officials in the supply of minerals to a number of exporting houses which supply the international companies mentioned above. • 'Deadly environment' plus 'political and social' obstacles hinder Ebola fight, Security Council hears (July 24, 2019) • Ebola outbreak declared an international Public Health Emergency (July 17, 2019) • At least 30 dead after massacres in Ituri (March 2, 2018) • Peacekeepers, Congo Army to Resume Joint Fight Against Rwandan Rebels (January 28, 2016) • DR Congo Scores High on Growth, Lags in Poverty Reduction: IMF (October 13, 2015) • Political tensions 'running high' in DR Congo ahead of 2016 elections (October 7, 2015) • UN Report Blames Ugandan Islamists for 237 Killings in DR Congo (May 14, 2015) • DRC Army Putting Pressure on FDLR (April 1, 2015) • Southern African Leaders to Meet in Zimbabwe (August 15, 2014) • Congo Improves Natural Resources Accounting (July 4, 2014) • ICC confirms war crimes charges against Bosco Ntaganda (June 10, 2014) • Senior UN officials urge Brazzaville to halt expulsion of DR Congo nationals (May 26, 2014) • Kerry Calls on Kabila to Honor Constitution (May 4, 2014) • Security Council extends UN mission, intervention force in DR Congo for one year (March 28, 2014) • Bosco Ntaganda Attacked Civilians on Ethnic Grounds, ICC Prosecutor Says (February 10, 2014) • New DR Congo amnesty law welcomed by UN envoys (February 5, 2014) • Colonel Mamadou Ndala Is Killed in Ambush (January 2, 2014) • DR Congo, M23 Rebels Sign Declarations Marking End of Kampala Peace Talks (December 12, 2013) • No 'Peace Deal' With Defeated M23 Rebels, DR Congo Says (November 11, 2013) • Congo Will Not Sign a 'Peace Deal' With Defeated M23 Rebels, Government Says (November 6, 2013) • Congo Army Takes Control of Mbuzi Hill From M23 Rebels (November 4, 2013) • Kabila Congratulates Congo Army for Defeating M23 Rebels (October 30, 2013) • Advancing Congo Troops Take Control of Rumangabo From M23 Rebels (October 28, 2013) • Congo Army Liberates Rutshuru, Kiwanja and Kibumba From M23 Rebels (October 27, 2013) • Congo Army Dislodges M23 Rebels From Strategic Town of Kibumba (October 26, 2013) • Ban Ki-moon Confirms M23 Rebels Shelled Rwanda (August 31, 2013) • DR Congo Will Defend Itself Against an Attack by Rwanda, Government Says (August 31, 2013) • M23 Rebels Fired Shells Into Rwanda, Not Congo Army, UN Says (August 30, 2013) • Mortar Shells From Rwanda Kill Civilians in Eastern Congo (August 23, 2013) • Dozens of M23 Rebels Killed by Congo Army in Renewed Fighting (August 22, 2013) Load older related articles • Bosco Ntaganda • CNDP • FARDC • FDLR • Kenya • MONUC • Mineral Ressources • United Nations (UN) • United Nations Security Council

Above: Dream City: Metropolis in action. Navigating the corridors and alleys of cities can often make a person feel small, but video games are here to make you feel big again. Mobile publisher Storm8 wants to give players control over city streets, business, and housing in its new Dream City: Metropolis game that launched July 7 on iOS and Android. In this app, gamers take on the role of a tycoon who must revitalize their town. Dream City is entering a $36.9 billion mobile gaming market that is not short on builder-style games. Top-grossing games like Clash of Clans, Game of War, and Boom Beach all feature mild city-management elements, but they are a different type of game. Of course, Storm8's take is much closer to Electronic Arts' SimCity: BuildIt game, which is in the top-100 highest-grossing apps on iOS and Android. That is a mobile adaptation of SimCity, which was the originator of this genre when renowned director Will Wright developed the original in 1989. SimCity was a breakout hit, and city-management games have had a large audience ever since. Storm8 is hoping to capitalize on that crowd while also growing it by offering players freedom and discovery. Storm8 wants to give players all the tools to make exactly the city they want. Dream City is not a restrictive experience. Players can put roads, buildings, and attractions anywhere they want. This is different from some games that feature zoning restrictions. On top of that, the developer worked to include top-notch animations and visuals to give the game world personality. Dream City also features a narrative where players must uncover what happened to Old Man Chesterfield, who ran the city before you. In moving through the game, players will learn more about the history of the city by working with and crafting items for the people in various industries. Finally, Storm8 is bringing a pinch of reality into Dream City through an interesting marketing partnership. One of the buildings that players can use is a Regal Cinema-branded movie theater. As players upgrade their theater, they can get to a point where they can go into the building and watch trailers for games and films. Down the line, Storm8 expects to bring other brands into the game.

In honor of our 40th season, we're kicking off a series of "weird facts" about the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. This is my personal favorite… Every show starts and closes with the sounds of 'London Homesick Blues' by Gary P. Nunn playing overhead. I drive home from the show singing this song and wake up every day during the duration of the show with it stuck in my head. It's a good thing that this is a great Texas song. This is the version we play at the show, but here's a live performance for your viewing pleasure. You can see another version here with over 1,000 other people playing guitar along, too. For more "Weird Fact Wednesdays" follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

I am a plant ecophysiologist interested in the mechanisms underlying plant responses to their environment.

NHL fan Rahal looking forward to inaugural INDYCAR 500 "I believe it's going to put on one of the best oval races, period." Rahal at the Winter Classic with fellow Bridgestone guest Aly Raisman, one of the most highly-decorated U.S. Olympic gymnasts in history. (Russell photo) January 4 – INDYCAR star Graham Rahal is becoming a regular visitor to the St. Louis region. He was in town Monday for the NHL's Bridgestone Winter Classic and will be returning next week for a corporate appearance. He then will practice in his Honda-powered INDYCAR at Gateway Motorsports Park on May 2 in preparation for the inaugural INDYCAR 500 on August 26. "It's cool for me to be here," Rahal said Monday. "A couple of my buddies play for the Blues. Alex Pietrangelo came to the Indianapolis 500 with us last year. Being a big hockey fan in general, it's fun to come out to support them." The son of Bobby Rahal, a three-time Verizon IndyCar Series champion and winner of the 1986 Indianapolis 500 — and husband of NHRA Top Fuel Dragster driver Courtney Force — is looking forward to competing in GMP's inaugural INDYCAR 500. "I'm anxious to come here at the end of August to go racing. I was excited, for various reasons, to see Gateway added to the 2017 INDYCAR schedule. Of course, to add a race to the schedule, but track owner Curtis Francois is a great guy — a top-notch guy. I've known Curtis for a handful of years, coming to Gateway with my wife Courtney, watching her drag race. To see the time, dedication and money spent on the oval track to improve it — to get the facility back up and running again — I was excited by that. I think Curtis' approach is really good. I hope we get a great crowd — that's going to be the biggest key to the life and stability of the event. "It's going to be awesome racing. The track was a lot of fun at the tire test last October. I think it's going to put on the best short-oval race that we'll have all season long. It's very difficult to set up a car when the turns are different like at Gateway. You have to get your handling, your balance close enough and really you focus on Turns 1 and 2 for that. But at the same time, aerodynamically, you can run a lot of downforce. You're gonna be flat out because the straightaways are so long. It's unusual to have that length of a straightaway on a mile-and-a-quarter track. Because of that, you want to trim aero, take off the drag, because you want to go fast down the straights. Come race day, you're going to have a mix of guys who want to run a lot of downforce and just try to stay pinned but then you're going to have guys who are going to commit to just lifting (the throttle) and reduce all the downforce. You're going to have an interesting mix of all these different things. I believe it's going to put on one of the best oval races, period."

No net loss of trees. Placing structures and all impervious surfaces in such a way as to protect the survivability and substantial growth of the healthiest trees on a property. Maintaining the diversity of tree species native to Amelia Island. Protecting and maintaining the existing mature growth native trees important to the City's tree canopy. Preserving, enhancing and restoring the unique aesthetic character of the City. Preserving, enhancing and restoring the natural environment through the protection and establishment of native trees and existing natural systems for the enjoyment of present and future populations. The inventory contains 7,000 trees, and covers most of the City's streets and public open space north of Sadler Road. Of the 7,000 trees inventoried, 67% were street trees and 33% were public space trees. In general, the condition of the City's public trees is good (73.4%), but is not as diverse as it should be according to ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards. The ISA recommends that no more than 10% of the forest be composed of a single species. The tree inventory shows that 28% of the City's public trees are live oaks, 19% are sabal palms, and 12% are laurel oaks. It is recommended that future plantings be selected to increase diversity in order to lessen vulnerability to pests and diseases. The inventory does not contain trees on private property, which make up a majority of the City's trees. Using 2008 aerial photos of the City, it was estimated that the overall tree canopy coverage for the entire City is 37%. Trees are not just aesthetically pleasing, they also provide environmental benefits such as storm water management and increased air quality. The study used i-Tree software to quantify the dollar value of the annual environmental and aesthetic benefits of the 7,000 trees contained in the inventory, and that value is $56,637,455. The management plan is currently used by multiple departments, such as Streets and Parks & Recreation, to better care for the City's existing public space trees by helping to identify hazard trees and to identify and prioritize maintenance tasks, such as pruning. Better planning for the future urban forest is also possible through the plan's recommendations regarding better tree selection for planting spaces and for the replacement of trees that have been removed.

Q: Natural example of bad results with a Lehmer Random Number Generator I tell my students every year that there's some correlation between successive draws in a Lehmer RNG, so they should use a Mersenne Twister or Marsaglia's MWC256... but I am unable to provide a natural example where Lehmer would fail. Of course there are specially designed tests that Lehmer generators fail, but can someone provide a natural situation where the autocorrelation results in aberrant results? Thanks for your thoughts. A: I finally came up with a question that send Wichman-Hill's generator off the road. It is not as natural as one may wish but I hope it's spectacular enough. Here's the problem: study the distribution of $$ X = -10U_1 - 22U_2 + 38U_3 - 3U_4 + U_5 + 4U_6 - 38 U_7$$ with the $U_i$ iid uniform on $(0,1)$. We will just draw an histogram. x <- c(-10, -22, 38, -3, 1, 4, -38) RNGkind(kind="Mersenne") U <- matrix( runif(7*1e6), nrow= 7 ) hist( colSums(x * U), breaks = seq(-70,50,by=0.25), col="black" ) Now try with Wichman-Hill: RNGkind(kind="Wichman") U <- matrix( runif(7*1e6), nrow= 7 ) hist( colSums(x * U), breaks = seq(-70,50,by=0.25), col="black" ) Yep, all generated values are integer: > head(colSums(x*U), 20) [1] 3 -9 -52 -21 -23 -14 -18 8 -23 12 5 4 -17 -16 -19 -44 5 4 -23 [20] -15 If some people show interest, I may explain briefly how I constructed this example. Here is a sketch of the construction of the example. Linear Congruential Generators rely on a sequence in $[1,\dots m-1]$ defined by $x_{n+1} = \alpha x_n \ [m]$ (which means modulo $m$), with $\gcd(\alpha,m)=1$. The pseudo random numbers $u_n = {1\over m} x_n$ behave roughly as uniform random numbers in $(0,1)$. A known issue of these generators is that you can find lots of coefficients $a_0, a_1, \dots, a_k\in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $$ a_0 + a_1 \alpha + \cdots + a_k \alpha^k = 0 \ [m].$$ This results in $a_0 x_n + \cdots + a_k x_{n+k} = 0 \ [m]$ for all $n$, which in turns results in $a_0 u_n + \cdots + a_k u_{n+k} \in \mathbb{Z}$. This means that all $(k+1)$-tuples $(u_n, \dots, u_{n+k})$ fall in planes orthogonal to $(a_0, \dots, a_k)'$. Of course with $k=1$, $a_0=\alpha$ and $a_1 = -1$, you have such an example. But as $\alpha$ is usually big, this won't give a nice looking example as above. The point is to find "small" $a_0, \dots, a_k$ values. Let $$L = \{ (a_0, \dots, a_k) \ :\ a_0 + a_1 \alpha + \cdots + a_k \alpha^k = 0 \ [m] \}.$$ This is a $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice. Using a little modular algebra, one can check that $f_0 = (m,0,\dots,0)'$, $f_1 = (\alpha,-1,0,\dots,0)'$, $f_2 = (0,\alpha,-1,0,\dots,0)'$, $\dots$, $f_k = (0,\dots,0,\alpha,-1)'$ is a base of this lattice (this is the key result here...). The problem is then to find a short vector in $L$. I used LLL algorithm for this purpose. Algorithm 2.3 from Brian Ripley Stochastic Simulation pointed (after my answer) by kjetil b halvorsen could have been used as well. For Wichman-Hill, the Chinese remainder theorem allows to check easily that it is equivalent to a generator of the above kind, with $\alpha = 16555425264690$ and $m = 30269\times30307\times30323 = 27817185604309$. A: The application most concerned with tiny deviations from correlation is cryptography. The ability to predict a pseudo-random value with better than ordinary accuracy can translate into superior abilities to break encryption schemes. This can be illustrated with a somewhat artificial example designed to help the intuition. It shows how a truly dramatic change in predictability can be incurred by an arbitrarily tiny serial correlation. Let $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ be iid standard Normal variables. Let $\bar X = (X_1+X_2+\cdots+X_n)/n$ be their mean and designate $$Y_i = X_i - \bar X$$ as their residuals. It is elementary to establish that (1) the $Y_i$ have identical Normal distributions but (2) the correlation among $Y_i$ and $Y_j$ (for $i\ne j$) is $-1/(n-1)$. For large $n$ this is negligible, right? Consider the task of predicting $Y_n$ from $Y_1, Y_2, \ldots, Y_{n-1}$. Under the assumption of independence, the best possible predictor is their mean. In fact, though, the construction of the $Y_i$ guarantees that their sum is zero, whence $$\hat{Y_n} = -\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}Y_i$$ is a perfect (error-free) predictor of $Y_n$. This shows how even a tiny bit of correlation can enormously improve predictability. In cryptanalysis the details will differ--one studies streams of bits, not Normal variates, and the serial correlations can be tiny indeed--but the potential for equally dramatic results nevertheless exists. For those who like to play with things, the following simulation in R replicates this hypothetical situation and summarizes the mean and standard deviations of the prediction errors. It also summarizes the first-order serial correlation coefficients of the simulated $Y_i$. For reference, it does the same for the $X_i$. predict.mean <- function(x) mean(x[-length(x)]) predict.correl <- function(x) -sum(x[-length(x)]) n <- 1e5 set.seed(17) sim <- replicate(1e3, { x <-rnorm(n) y <- x - mean(x) c(predict.mean(y) - y[n], predict.correl(y) - y[n], predict.mean(x) - x[n], predict.correl(x) - x[n], cor(y[-1], y[-n])) }) rownames(sim) <- c("Mean method", "Exploit", "Mean (reference)", "Exploit (reference)", "Autocorrelation") zapsmall(apply(sim, 1, mean)) zapsmall(apply(sim, 1, sd)) As written, this will take a good fraction of a minute to run: it performs $1000$ simulations of the case $n=10^5$. The timing is proportional to the product of these numbers, so reducing that by an order of magnitude will give satisfactory turnaround for interactive experiments. In this case, because such a large number of simulations were performed, the results will be pretty accurate, and they are Mean method Exploit Mean (reference) Exploit (reference) Autocorrelation -0.064697 0.000000 -0.064697 5.502087 -0.000046 Mean method Exploit Mean (reference) Exploit (reference) Autocorrelation 1.0235 0.0000 1.0235 321.8314 0.0031 On average, estimating $Y_n$ with the mean of the preceding values made an error of $-0.06$, but the standard deviation of those errors was close to $1$. The exploit offered by recognition of the correlation was absolutely perfect: it always got the prediction right. However, when applied to the truly independent values $(X_i)$, the exploit performed terribly, with a standard deviation of $321.8$ (essentially equal to $\sqrt{n}$). This trade-off between assumptions and performance is instructive!

The announcement by the Sullivan County Labor Council came at a press conference and luncheon held at D's Restaurant in Monticello, and focused on the council's endorsements in that fall's Supervisor races, which were especially significant in an era when town supervisors also governed the county. The relationship between labor unions and the Democratic Party was longstanding and believed to be unshakeable, making the endorsement of a number of Republicans even more surprising. The Labor Council's endorsements – and the initial reactions to them – were front page news in the October 19, 1967 edition of the Liberty Register, which had not long before transitioned from a staunchly Republican paper to one with strong Democratic Party leanings. "Liberty Supervisor William E. Pearson, Democrat running for re-election with Liberal Party endorsement, was the only incumbent Democrat other than Supervisor Mortimer Michaels of Fallsburg to receive the endorsement of the Sullivan County Labor Council in action taken by that group on Monday and Tuesday of this week," the Register reported. The three biggest surprises among the endorsements were those provided to incumbent Republicans Ralph Meyer of Thompson and George Neuhaus of Bethel and to Democrat Warren Doetsch of Callicoon, a newcomer running against popular Delaware Supervisor John Eschenberg. The Labor Council, representing 15 unions in the construction and building trades, cited assurances they had received from Meyer and Neuhaus that the long delayed construction of Sullivan County Community College would be expedited in the new term if they were re-elected. The SCLC also noted that their opposition to Eschenberg's candidacy was based on his vocal opposition to the construction of the Sullivan County airport, another major project that had become a political football among the Supervisors. The Council also criticized the sitting Board of Supervisors for failing to move forward plans for a civic and convention center in the county. The endorsements drew an immediate response from Michaels, a former Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, who, in what the Register labeled a "blistering statement, not only questioned the Council's judgement in endorsing Meyer and Neuhaus, but rejected his own endorsement by them. Michaels was running unopposed. "He termed the council action as 'incomprehensible,' pointing out the long labor record of Neuhaus' opponent, Jerry Amatucci, a lifelong plumbers union member," the Register reported. "Michaels also stressed the failure of the Council to back men with long labor records, such as Supervisors Joseph Raffa in Neversink, Cecil Stewart in Rockland, and John Eschenberg in Delaware, while declaring that the endorsement of Supervisor William Pearson in Liberty was well deserved. He recounted Pearson's long record of progressive measures, benefiting labor, but termed Meyer and Neuhaus obstructionists." In his statement, which the Register published in its entirety, Michaels sang the praises of Eschenberg and Stewart in particular, while leaving no doubt whatsoever how he viewed some of his other colleagues on the Board. "Certainly, with labor stressing the importance of getting millions of dollars of college construction on the road, such men as Stewart and Eschenberg should not have been overlooked while labor's blessing was given to men who used every delaying political action to block the college," Michaels said. "To make matters worse, Neuhaus scarcely deserves praise for backing an airport in his own backyard in Bethel. In every other regard he has been an obstructionist. Virtually everything Pearson and I have fought for, he and Meyer have been against." "What is behind all this blessing by labor?" Michaels asked. "What sinister or hidden forces decided who was to be picked and who was to be cast aside? Behind all this, I say without fear of contradiction, is the heavy hand of certain hotelkeepers and certain Raceway representatives. We have seen this sort of thing before. I dare say we will see it again." When all was said and done, the furor over the Labor Council's choices turned out to be much ado about nothing, as most—but not all—incumbents won re-election, with or without the union endorsement. Under the new weighted voting system taking effect on January 1, 1968, the GOP would hold a three-vote margin over the Democrats. Despite the endorsement from the labor unions, Neuhaus was unable to withstand the challenge from Amatucci, who, helped by his Conservative Party line, won the election by 110 votes, and took office as Bethel supervisor in January, 1968. Of course, there were big doings in Bethel during his tenure in office, and Neuhaus was able to regain the office in the election of 1969, in the wake of the Woodstock music festival, the blame for which he laid squarely on Amatucci.

When the governess arrived at Bly, she received a letter saying that Miles had been expelled from his school, though the note does not give a reason for this expulsion. The governess's relationship with Miles is colored by this suspicious past, because it implies that there is a kind of devious or even evil side of him which she cannot reconcile with what she perceives to be his immaculate behavior. The governess further assumes that Miles meets regularly with the ghost of Peter Quint, or that he is at least under his influence.

She threw back her head; she had clearly, by this time, and very honestly, adopted an attitude. "Oh, never known him—I don't pretend that!" I was upset again. "Then you have known him—?" "Yes indeed, miss, thank God!" On reflection I accepted this. "You mean that a boy who never is—?" "Is no boy for me!" I held her tighter. "You like them with the spirit to be naughty?" Then, keeping pace with her answer, "So do I!" I eagerly brought out. "But not to the degree to contaminate—" "To contaminate?"—my big word left her at a loss. I explained it. "To corrupt." She stared, taking my meaning in; but it produced in her an odd laugh. "Are you afraid he'll corrupt you?"

It would have been impossible to carry a bad name with a greater sweetness of innocence, and by the time I had got back to Bly with him I remained merely bewildered—so far, that is, as I was not outraged—by the sense of the horrible letter locked up in my room, in a drawer. As soon as I could compass a private word with Mrs. Grose I declared to her that it was grotesque. She promptly understood me. "You mean the cruel charge—?" "It doesn't live an instant. My dear woman, LOOK at him!" Unlock with LitCharts A+ "The children?" "I can't leave them now." "You're afraid—?" I spoke boldly. "I'm afraid of HIM." Mrs. Grose's large face showed me, at this, for the first time, the faraway faint glimmer of a consciousness more acute: I somehow made out in it the delayed dawn of an idea I myself had not given her and that was as yet quite obscure to me.

To play with him, I mean—to spoil him." She paused a moment; then she added: "Quint was much too free." This gave me, straight from my vision of his face—such a face!—a sudden sickness of disgust. "Too free with my boy?" "Too free with everyone!" "They know—it's too monstrous: they know, they know!" "And what on earth—?" I felt her incredulity as she held me. "Why, all that we know—and heaven knows what else besides!" Then, as she released me, I made it out to her, made it out perhaps only now with full coherency even to myself. "Two hours ago, in the garden"—I could scarce articulate—"Flora saw!" Mrs. Grose took it as she might have taken a blow in the stomach. "She has told you?" she panted. "Not a word—that's the horror. She kept it to herself!"

I couldn't abjure for merely wanting to, but I could repeat to Mrs. Grose—as I did there, over and over, in the small hours—that with their voices in the air, their pressure on one's heart, and their fragrant faces against one's cheek, everything fell to the ground but their incapacity and their beauty.

It was his brightness indeed that gave me a respite. Would it be so great if he were really going to tell me? "Well," he said at last, "just exactly in order that you should do this." "Do what?" "Think me—for a change—bad!" I shall never forget the sweetness and gaiety with which he brought out the word, nor how, on top of it, he bent forward and kissed me. It was practically the end of everything.

Their more than earthly beauty, their absolutely unnatural goodness. It's a game," I went on; "it's a policy and a fraud!" "On the part of little darlings—?" "As yet mere lovely babies? Yes, mad as that seems!" The very act of bringing it out really helped me to trace it—follow it all up and piece it all together. "They haven't been good—they've only been absent. It has been easy to live with them, because they're simply leading a life of their own. They're not mine—they're not ours. They're his and they're hers!" "Quint's and that woman's?"

Related Characters: The Governess (speaker), Mrs. Grose (speaker), Miles, Flora, Peter Quint, Miss Jessel What it was most impossible to get rid of was the cruel idea that, whatever I had seen, Miles and Flora saw more—things terrible and unguessable and that sprang from dreadful passages of intercourse in the past. Such things naturally left on the surface, for the time, a chill which we vociferously denied that we felt… Related Characters: The Governess (speaker), Miles, Flora I call it a revolution because I now see how, with the word he spoke, the curtain rose on the last act of my dreadful drama, and the catastrophe was precipitated. "Look here, my dear, you know," he charmingly said, "when in the world, please, am I going back to school?" Transcribed here the speech sounds harmless enough, particularly as uttered in the sweet, high, casual pipe with which, at all interlocutors, but above all at his eternal governess, he threw off intonations as if he were tossing roses. "Dear little Miles, dear little Miles, if you KNEW how I want to help you! It's only that, it's nothing but that, and I'd rather die than give you a pain or do you a wrong—I'd rather die than hurt a hair of you. Dear little Miles"—oh, I brought it out now even if I should go too far—"I just want you to help me to save you!" Related Characters: The Governess (speaker), Miles "She's with her?" "She's with her!" I declared. "We must find them." My hand was on my friend's arm, but she failed for the moment, confronted with such an account of the matter, to respond to my pressure. She communed, on the contrary, on the spot, with her uneasiness. "And where's Master Miles?" "Oh, he's with Quint. They're in the schoolroom." "Lord, miss!" My view, I was myself aware—and therefore I suppose my tone—had never yet reached so calm an assurance. "The trick's played," I went on; "they've successfully worked their plan. He found the most divine little way to keep me quiet while she went off." "'Divine'?" Mrs. Grose bewilderedly echoed. This inference grew in a few minutes to sharp intensity and seemed bound up with the direct perception that it was positively he who was. The frames and squares of the great window were a kind of image, for him, of a kind of failure. I felt that I saw him, at any rate, shut in or shut out. He was admirable, but not comfortable: I took it in with a throb of hope. Wasn't he looking, through the haunted pane, for something he couldn't see? Related Symbols: Windows "It's he?" I was so determined to have all my proof that I flashed into ice to challenge him. "Whom do you mean by 'he'?" "Peter Quint—you devil!" His face gave again, round the room, its convulsed supplication. "Where?" …"What does he matter now, my own?—what will he EVER matter? I have you," I launched at the beast, "but he has lost you forever!" Then, for the demonstration of my work, "There, there!" I said to Miles. But he had already jerked straight round, stared, glared again, and seen but the quiet day. With the stroke of the loss I was so proud of he uttered the cry of a creature hurled over an abyss…We were alone with the quiet day, and his little heart, dispossessed, had stopped.

POWERFUL ARGUMENT The question of whether the power cables taking 'juice' from the proposed new straw-burning power station on the outskirts of Brigg would run underground, or be carried on pylons, has been raised by concerned Coun John Kitwood. He raised the issue at the town council's monthly meeting, held on Monday in the Angel Suite, questioning why the eco-friendly power station proposal had not been discussed by the 'full council' before. He was told it had been considered in general terms at committee level, but no planning application had yet been received. The plant is being suggested for the old Brigg sugar factory site, and some Scawby Brook residents are concerned about the number of straw-carrying lorries which would pass their homes on the way to the plant. The suggested route for them is the M180 to Forest Pines interchange, then Castlethorpe Corner and Scawby Brook, before taking the old sugar factory entrance road. Quite how lorries would negotiate the mini-roundabout near Fountain House, Scawby Brook, has yet to be explained. But it might well need this junction to be re-designed. The only traffic issue for Brigg would be if lorries coming from the Grimsby/Barton/Humber Bridge direction decided to leave the A180 at Barnetby Top, and head through Wrawby and Brigg to Scawby Brook, rather than use the M180 to Broughton. However, the town council meeting heard it was possible for devices in lorries' cabs to tell the owners which route had been taken. People have also expressed concerns about the possibility of straw blowing off lorries and littering the area. However, Brigg residents who can remember when the sugar factory (pictured) was going full tilt might well think windblown straw somewhat less of a problem than the 'bouncing beet' which was often a hazard On Brigg Streets as tractors took their loads to be processed. The firm behind the power plant held a two-day exhibition at the Angel Suite at the weekend, to gauge public opinion and inform Brigg area residents of their aims.

Town Mayor Coun Michael Doherty told last night's Brigg Town Council meeting the changes had been made a couple of weeks ago. He said, according to management, the ambulance was receiving an average of only one call for service every six hours. Management felt that resource could be better employed elsewhere. The Mayor said he understood one fast response vehicle was based in Brigg all the time and another for a limited number of hours each day, with an ambulance available in Scunthorpe, to be called when necessary. Deputy Town Mayor Coun Mike Campion gave a report of two 'scrutiny' meetings he attended, involving North Lincolnshire Council and the ambulance service. He said, according to the ambulance service, replacing ambulances with fast response vehicles (like the one pictured here) was something being done all over the country. And the service seemed surprised Brigg people were objecting. The plan - unveiled exclusively by the Scunthorpe Telegraph - proved controversial, and a public meeting was held in Brigg, which the ambulance service declined the invitation to attend, saying insufficient notice had been received. The town council is to monitor the situation over the coming months. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Tuesday, April 29, 2008 No comments: HAVE YOUR SAY TONIGHT Pop along to the Angel Suite tonight if you feel strongly about the plans to build 44 new homes, with garages, and access road, landscaping and car parking space on the former Glebe Road school site. For Brigg Town Council is making the plans available for the public to inspect and comment on. Keigar Homes has acquired the site from North Lincolnshire Council and wants to develop the housing estate on what is now a piece of unattractive, unused land. However, there are some concerns about the amount of extra traffic the housing estate could bring to an already congested part of the town. Brigg Town Council's monthly meeting is in the Angel Suite, off Market Place, starting at 7.15pm. Having met earlier, at 6.30pm, the planning committee will reconvene at 8pm for the public forum on the Glebe Road development. And finally...Apologies for the rare technical problems which meant Brigg Blog being unavailable for a time over the weekend. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Monday, April 28, 2008 No comments: Brigg does not get many accolades - certainly not as many as it should. So how about the town getting involved in the search to find Britain's best park? What about the Donkey Field (sorry, showing my age - that should be the Almond Grove play area)? Or the Davy Memorial, between Bigby Road and King's Avenue? To mark the sixth year of the Britain's Best Park Competition, sponsor Briggs & Stratton is calling on Lincolnshire residents to put forward the name of their perfect local park. Nine regional finalists will be selected and a panel of respected judges will decide the overall winner. Prizes up for grabs include the coveted title of Best Park in Britain, and a certificate to mark the achievement. In addition, the winning park will receive a host of national and regional publicity (including a mentioned in Brigg Blog!) Briggs & Stratton's business development manager, Ian Small, said: "This competition aims to find the most attractive, well- maintained, accessible and community-friendly public spaces in the UK, and reward the hard work that goes into maintaining them." The eventual winner will go on to compete for the title of Europe's Best Park, also sponsored by Briggs & Stratton, where they will be up against parks located in Germany, France, Sweden, Poland and Italy. Last Year saw Pollok Park (Scotland) crowned as Europe's Best Park in a lavish ceremony celebrating the green open space and its facilities. To nominate a park, and for further details, visit www.britainsbestparks.co.uk and fill in the entry form. Alternatively, call 01332 372196 and one will be sent to your address, or email [email protected] for an 'electronic' copy. The closing date for entries is Thursday, August 29. In case you were wondering, Briggs & Stratton is the world's largest manufacturer of air-cooled, four-cycle petrol engines for outdoor power equipment, including lawnmowers, generators and pressure washers, as well as many industrial/commercial applications.

Further details are available from organiser Pete Boston on (01652) 651685. WILKO, CHAPS! Take a look through the windows of the new Wilkinson's store, on Cary Lane, and you will see work on transforming the former Kwik Save premises is coming along well. The entrance lobby is in place and the tills are there, although's there still lots to do before the opening in June. SPOKE IN WHEEL? Some of us are mystified about what's going on with the new, wider cycle lanes along the A18 in Bridge Street and Scawby Road, Scawby Brook. North Lincolnshire Council announced it was putting them in and adjusting roadside gulleys. Workmen were then seen, a few weeks ago, carrying out what seemed to be preliminary work. Indeed, the markings for the old cycle lanes were rubbed off the road surface. However, no new lines have been painted on. It's all a bit baffling but Brigg Blog will be making inquiries and reporting back as soon as we can. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Thursday, April 24, 2008 No comments: NARROW DEFEAT Brigg Town Cricket Club's debut in the West Wold Evening League last night ended in a narrow defeat at the hands of Brocklesby Park, who triumphed with a six off the penultimate ball in an enjoyable encounter at Brigg Recreation Ground. Afterwards the teams enjoyed a drink or three at the Nelthorpe Arms. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Wednesday, April 23, 2008 No comments: ON AT THE WOOLIE Next month's 'turns' at the Woolpack Inn, in Brigg Market Place, are: May 3, Trudi; May 10, The Underdogs; May 17, Wild Messiah; May 24, Grace and Baby Fly. SIGNS ARE GOOD Wilkinson's store, in Cary Lane, has moved a significant step nearer with the erection of the two main signs on the front of the former Kwik Save premises. The hardware giant is expected to open its doors in Brigg in June. BOWLING ALONG In reply to correspondent Bill, who wonders whether we would be willing to include bowls news on Brigg Blog, the answer is a resounding Yes. And the same goes for all other sports played in the town. Please email your news and JPEG pictures to [email protected] and [email protected] ON BOARD WITH CAMPAIGN As public meetings in Brigg go, Saturday's – held in the Angel Suite to call for the reintroduction of a 'meaningful' passenger train service – attracted what was a record attendance, certainly for such get-togethers in recent years. About 50 people – members of the public, railway enthusiasts and councillors – came from as far afield as Gainsborough, Retford and Dronfield to discuss the topic in detail. Chairman of the meeting, Edward Richardson, from Upton, near Gainsborough, described the turnout as very good and said he felt those who attended were a 'representative sample' of the public. Everyone was keen to see the current service – just three trains each way on a Saturday – improved. And now the comments made, points raised and feeling of the meeting will be passed on to firms running passenger trains, and to the Department of Transport, which subsidises rural trains, very few of which anywhere near break even. People from Brigg who got to their feet to express opinions included Town Mayor Coun Michael Doherty, Phil Hewson, David Davies, Jim Allcroft and Coun Jackie Brock. Coun Tom Glossop, of Brigg, was vice-chairman of the meeting and opened proceedings by explaining how the Brigg line had suffered cuts down the years, reducing it to its current level. However, he explained major improvements to the track meant the Brigg line was going to be reopened for freight traffic throughout the week, and that created an ideal opportunity to press for more passenger trains. "I do think this is the ideal time to try to get a meaningful service back on the line," he stressed. Phil Hewson, a keen supporter and user of trains through Brigg, warned against calling for too much, too soon – and pointed out it would be difficult to fit passenger trains round freight traffic, as some sections of the route are single track. "Please be realistic about what you are asking for," he urged. Stephen Gay, from Sheffield, renowned railway author and historian, wondered whether it might be possible to gradually switch some of the Transpennine expresses which go from Cleethorpes, though Scunthorpe and Doncaster to Manchester, and send them through Brigg and Gainsborough instead. Coun Neil Poole, from Messingham, a member of North Lincolnshire Council, suggested the massive income from freight traffic could be used to help support the 'less viable' passenger service on the Brigg line. After the meeting closed, many people stayed on to talk about railway matters in the Angel Suite, while others visited Brigg shops, the Saturday market and local pubs. So holding the public meeting in Brigg helped put trade the way of a number of local businesses. If you missed the public meeting you can still make your views known. Post a comment on this Blog and we will pass it on to the right people for you, telephone Coun Tom Glossop on (01652) 656744, write to Brigg Town Council, the Angel Suite, Exchange Place, Brigg, or email Brigg Town Council - [email protected] Pictured above are top table speakers at the public meeting, held in Brigg's Angel Suite, to discuss rail services. Left to right: Edward Richardson, from Upton, near Gainsborough; renowed railway author and historian, Stephen Gay, from Sheffield; Coun Tom Glossop, of Brigg Town Council; and David Walford, sub-regional rail development officer, Community Rail Humber. THE PLAICE TO GO! New sign, new ownership...well-known Brigg business of many years' standing. This is the chippie, with 'eat-in' facility, in Coney Court, just off Market Place - a favourite with Brigg folk, and visitors, for decades. However, it has never advertised itself as prominently as this before, now bearing the name The Hungry Fisherman. I recall interviewing a former German prisoner of war, from Pingley Camp, who came back to Brigg about 1980, to see a family in Westrum Lane he'd known back in the 1940s. He said he was looking forward to Brigg fish and chips again, and I seem to remember the 'chippie' in Coney Court was where they planned to take him. EVENING STARS? Tuesday sees Brigg Town Cricket Club kick off a new season in a new league. Brigg has put a team into the West Wold Evening League for the very first time and (weather permitting) will be hosting Brocklesby Park at the Recreation Ground, off Wrawby Road, from 6pm. Back in the mid-1970s, Brigg joined the Broughton and District Evening League and enjoyed many happy years in that competition. Sadly it folded a few years ago due to a declining number of teams, with changing, and longer, working hours being blamed by many players at the time. It was just no longer possible to get away from work for an early evening match, especially away from home. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Sunday, April 20, 2008 1 comment: FANCY A GO? Monday (April 21) sees a meeting of Brigg New Age Kurling Club at St John's Church Hall, Bigby Street, from 1pm-3pm. Yearly membership is £2.50, and it's £1.50p per session. There's a craft session at Brigg Resource Centre, Horstead Avenue, on Tuesday at 10am. The cost is £2. Contact Marilyn Demott at the Fresh Start office for further details of either event. Tel (01652) 653384. Tuesday also sees Brigg and District Flower Club meet in the Angel Suite at 7.15pm, to hear Pat Musgrove's presentation called Tickets Please. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Saturday, April 19, 2008 No comments: TRIBUTE TO OUR MICK There's a tribute to former professional footballer from Brigg, Mick Atkin, in a recently-launched national football magazine. The April issue of Backpass includes an obituary on the former Scunthorpe United player, whose death, aged 59, we reported, with great regret, in Brigg Blog in January. Mick taught at what is now Vale of Ancholme Technology College and played for the Iron between 1968 and 1974. A glossy publication, Backpass, costing £2.50p, is a great read, concentrating on football nostalgia from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. If you've not seen a copy, we recommend you take a look. It's edited by Mike Berry, a friend of mine from days spent covering Minor Counties cricket. He's a very experienced sports journalist, and that shines through in the content, lavishly illustrated with photographs. For further details write to Backpass Ltd, Greystones, Beechgrove, Kington, Herefordshire, HR5 3RH, tel 07976 248 102, or email [email protected] Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Friday, April 18, 2008 1 comment: TOM'S FUNERAL A funeral service will be held on Tuesday (April 22) for Tom Kennedy, who died tragically in Brigg on April 6. It will be at Woodlands Crematorium, Scunthorpe, starting at 11.30am. The funeral arrangements, and floral tributes, are being handled by Kettle of Brigg, 10 Elwes Street. SMILE TODAY Get yourself down to the Market Place today and wear your broadest grin...for a good cause. The Scunthorpe Telegraph is supporting the Lindsey Lodge Hospice's smile campaign, through which members of the public donate £2 to the charity and, in return, get their pictures taken. Get down to the bandstand between 11am and 1pm to play your part in this worthy initiative. TRAIN OF THOUGHT Brigg folk are being urged to attend a public meeting in the Angel Suite on Saturday (10.15am) to press for the return of a meaningful passenger service, so we can get to places like Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Gainsborough and Sheffield during the week...not just for a few hours on a Saturday, as is currently the case. The more people who turn up and pledge support for better passenger services calling at our station in Brigg (pictured), the greater the chance of train operators being persuaded to come onboard. Edward Richardson, from Upton, is to chair the meeting - 'supported' by Brigg's own Coun Tom Glossop. A meaningful passenger service would also benefit people in Gainsborough, Kirton in Lindsey and surrounding villages in West Lindsey. So those communities are expected to be represented in Brigg at Saturday's forum. The enthusiastic Edward says: "Gainsborough (Central) Station will be a new Clapham Junction, if a public meeting at Brigg has it's way. "Improved train services from Gainsborough (Central) to Kirton Lindsey and Brigg will be discussed at a meeting in Brigg on Saturday morning. This line runs from Sheffield to Grimsby and Cleethorpes via Worksop and Retford. "Access to Robin Hood Airport, with a new station at Finningley, are amongst suggestions to vastly improve access to the airport from Nottingham, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Lincoln and Grimsby. "All trains will run into Central station in the middle of Gainsborough, giving convenient 'interchange' facilities for travellers. Main line rail interchange is already available at Doncaster, Retford, Sheffield and Nottingham, and a direct service from Lincoln to London has already been approved. "There will be calls to extend Robin Hood Line trains from Nottingham via Mansfield to Worksop, and for them to continue into Gainsborough (Central), then on to Doncaster by way of Robin Hood Airport - a case of Robin Hood to Robin Hood. "Recent improvements on the Robin Hood Line will see Sunday services starting in December, and these Sunday trains would be ideal for taking travellers to and from Robin Hood Airport. Younger people and those with families see a Sunday service from Sheffield via Gainsborough (Central) to Cleethorpes as being ideal for a day out by the seaside. "Connections via the Barton Line and Humber Bridge give access to Hull from a wide area of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire not served at present. "There will also be suggestions to reopen stations in North Nottinghamshire at Beckingham, Walkeringham and Misterton; and in Lincolnshire at Cherry Willingham, Reepham, Caistor and Knaith Park." Edward describes Saturday's forum as a joint venture between Brigg Town Council and Gainsborough Constituency Liberal Democrats. Further details from Edward Richardson.

It's clearly a reference to our earlier Brigg Blog postings about the surpising distances shopping trolleys manage to get from town stores. Please keep your sightings coming in. Email [email protected] ALL THE FUN OF... Sheldon Dowse's funfair is now setting up on the old Atherton Way lorry wash site, near Tesco roundabout, for its usual spring stay in Brigg. Doubtless many youngsters will go along to enjoy the amusements. This is a much better site for the fair than taking up much-needed spaces in the Old Courts Road car park. Older Brigg folk will remember when the fair was sited next to the old Grand Cinema, where the Horse Fair Paddock sheltered accommodation now stands. Our picture from the not-too-distant past shows youngsters enjoyed the Dowse's funfair waltzers in Brigg. OPEN TO ABUSE Even before 5am today a car driver was inside the Market Place, in what's supposed to be a pedestrian area. I watched him arrive from Cary Lane and do a U-turn to drop someone off. You could literally say ignorning the law goes on all day and all night in Brigg town centre. Or very nearly so. DOWN AT THE WOOLIE Live musical entertainment continues at Brigg's Woolpack Inn, in the Market Place, on Saturday (April 19), with Whicker on the bill. The following Saturday (26th) it's the turn of Zero Damage. More 'turns' are lined up for May. Tomorrow (Tuesday) Fresh Start - serving the over-50s of Lincolnshire - has a craft session at Brigg Resource Centre (10am). The cost is £2. On Wednesday there is a meeting of the grandparent and grandchild group, with various activities, from 10am-noon at the same venue. The cost is £1 per child, including refreshments. Telephone (01652) 653384 for details of both events. It's amazing this public telephone at Brigg railway station is in full working order - considering the vandalism and graffiti to be seen in this part of town and the fact it is housed in an open shelter on the nearside platform. Lights have been smashed on, and near, the station and what remains of the Victorian brick walls virtually demolished. Yet, through it all, the phone survives intact. Edward Richardson, who is organising this coming Saturday's public meeting on Brigg's rail service (see tomorrow's Scunthorpe Telegraph Brigg Extra page for details) alerted me to the fact the telephone's still working. And, on Saturday, when I popped down for a look, it most certainly was offering a clear dialling tone. Currently, no trains are running on the Brigg line, due to major engineering work. But once they resume the phone will offer passengers the chance to check on train times and also summon taxis. DON'T BE CAUGHT OUT The A1084, Bigby Road, will be closed to traffic at Brigg level crossing, while further work is carried out, from 10pm on Tuesday until 6am on Wednesday. The alternate route will be via Wrawby and Kettleby crossing. Posted by NIGEL FISHER at Sunday, April 13, 2008 No comments: FAREWELL, TOM How sad it was to hear of the death of Tom Kennedy. The Brigg 'grapevine' identified Tom as being the person found in the Ancholme some time before the authorities were able to give official confirmation. Not that that's meant as a criticism of their work. I first knew Tom even before we were school age, as his family and mine lived only a few doors from each other in the Woodbine Grove 'prefabs' - now long demolished. These temporary homes (built after the Second World War to try to solve the UK housing crisis) stood on what is now the children's play area between Hawthorn Avenue/Brigg Town FC's ground and South View Avenue. I seem to remember Tom popping round to watch our black and white telly with us. That must have been 1960/1961. He also played a bit of a trick on me, in our garden, involving a very angry bee in a matchbox, which ended with gullible me being stung on the finger. We attended Glebe Road school together and although, educationally, we went our separate ways some years later, we kept on speaking terms and, as adults, would sometimes have a chat in one of Brigg's pubs. And so it was, quite recently, we spoke for what the final time - in the Yarborough Hunt - when we both confirmed we would be attending May's Brigg Beer Festival, and reflected on how much we had enjoyed last year's. What turned out to be the day before he died I was driving from Cary Lane to Spring's Parade, late in the afternoon, and saw Tom walking past Tesco, in his work clothes. So, in the past few months, our town has lost some well-known, middle-aged characters - Paddy Quirke, Vic Berko, 'Chuck' Marshall...and now Tom Kennedy. CALLING ALL GRAPPLE FANS Brigg fans who used to enjoy attending wrestling events at the Corn Exchange in days gone by can rekindle their interest when the sport makes a welcome return to the area tomorrow (Saturday). Ancholme Leisure Centre is the venue for the family-orientated event featuring wrestlers from Lincolnshire, Nottingham and Manchester. Doors open at 7pm, with action under way at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £8 for adults, £5 concessions or £20 for a family ticket. Fans are urged to book early on 01472 505663, 07771 618288, or online at www.realdealpromotions.co.uk The event was switched to the leisure centre at short notice, due to licensing problems at the original venue in Scunthorpe. Pictured (by Mark Wright) are tag team champions Chaos and Sykes. Wrestling was a feature at the Corn Exchange until shortly before its closure. And among those to appear were Pat Roach (who acted in Auf Wiedersehen Pet and one or two of the James Bond movies) and Giant Haystacks. A few wrestling nights were later held at Ancholme Leisure Centre. BUILDING FOR FUTURE Planning permission to erect a replacement detached house at 5 St Helen's Road, Brigg, is being sought from North Lincolnshire Council by Linden King. Brigg Town Council has no objections to Peter Shew's plans to replace windows and doors at The Merchant's House, 3 Bridge Street – a listed building, with North Lincolshire planners having the final say. And finally...Humberside Police have been given the go-ahead to trim an ash tree – protected by a tree preservation order – next to their station at the corner of Barnard Avenue and Cary Lane. We mentioned this application in an earlier Brigg Blog after it was discussed at a town council meeting. DISASTER STRIKES What should have been a day to remember for a group of Brigg area football fans turned to deep disappointment, and anger, as they were left stranded in North Lincolnshire, rather than being ferried down to Wembley to watch Grimsby Town play in the Johnstone' Paint Trophy final against MK Dons. Martin North, who played amateur football for many teams in the Brigg area including Brigg Amateurs and Black Bull, told Brigg Blog: "I just thought you might be interested to know about the utter disappointment myself, my son and six more people encountered on what should have been a super day out at the New Wembley on March 30. "We were supposed to have been picked up at Briggate Lodge at about 6.20am. The coach never arrived. "This was a trip organised by GTFC Supporters' Club and we can't seem to get any answers as to why, and who is responsible. And are we to get a refund?" Former Brigg landlord Martin describes himself as '£117 out of pocket'. We are forwarding Martin's story to our colleagues at the Grimsby Telegraph, in the hope they can find out what went wrong. CRIME ON DECLINE Head of rural policing, Insp Brett Rutty (pictured), delivered the following report to the Brigg Annual Town Public Meeting, held in the Angel Suite. Criminal damage and anti-social behaviour in the community are the two main issues our Neighbourhood Police Officers and Police Community Support Officer (PCSOs) focus on. Each Neighbourhood Officer was set a target to reduce criminal damage by 15 per cent during the year ending March 2008. Here in the Brigg and Wolds, so far this year to date we have seen a reduction of 22%. Similar reduction targets have been set for calls for service for anti-social Behaviour. Although it is unlikely were will meet that target this year we have seen a slight reduction in calls for service to Brigg and Wolds so far this year of 1.5% Staff from the Neighbourhood Team and the Friday and Saturday evening Respect Patrols continue to address this issue but we do need support from the community and parents have a big part to play. Although we accept that teenagers want to meet up with their friends, they need to think about where they meet and recognise that their behaviour, particularly when congregating in numbers or when behaviour becomes rowdy, can be frightening and intimidating to other people in the community. Parents can help get this message across to their sons and daughters. The Brigg area team is lead by Sgt Liz Staff, with PC Rob Armstrong being the Neighbourhood Officer for Brigg and Wolds. Rob is assisted by PCSO Lisa Bogg. We also have a new PCSO, Rob Straker who has just completed the class room side of his training and joins the team today! Lynsey Stamp has come to Brigg too as a result of a change is staffing brought about by the transfer of an experienced PCSO to the team from Scunthorpe. Rob Armstrong and Sgt Staff are currently working with Sir John Nelthorpe School and our partner agencies to tackle damage to the school and anti¬social behaviour in the vicinity of the school. Rob and Lisa are also focusing attention at the Springs Parade area of the town where again we are receiving complaints about youths congregating there in significant numbers. Alcohol is being seized where teenagers are found in possession of it and parents will be contacted where teenagers are behaving inappropriately. There have been report of teenagers climbing on buildings in the town and this is perhaps the early signs that Free Running, the latest urban sport involving the running and climbing on buildings has come to Brigg. Although this may appear harmless, it can result in injury to the 'free runner' and cause damage to buildings. Rob and Lisa are keeping an eye out for this type of behaviour and will give strong words of advice should they encounter it. Parking problems have been brought to Rob and Lisa's attention at various locations around the town and include parking in disabled parking bays and on the pedestrian area. Advice has been given to motorists and warning notices distributed. A period of enforcement will now follow Neighbourhood Policing is about providing communities with: Access to policing services through a named point of contact Influence over policing priorities in their neighbourhood Interventions: Joint action with partners and communities Answers: Sustainable solutions and feedback This involves dealing with the issues that matter most to people in the community. The Police alone cannot deal with these issues. Experience shows that long term solutions can be found when the police, partner agencies and the community work together. One way of achieving these aims is through Neighbourhood Action Teams (NATs) which have been established in each of the 17 Neighbourhoods using Council Ward boundaries in North Lincolnshire. Invited to the Brigg NAT are representatives of the Town and Parish Councils, Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators, Residents' Associations and North Lincolnshire Homes. The Police and staff from the Safer Neighbourhoods CDRP always attend. Issues impacting on the community are discussed and prioritised and actions carried out by the most appropriate agency, singularly or jointly with others. An update on progress is required at the next meeting. The next Neighbourhood Action Team meeting will be on Wednesday, April 16 at Worlaby Village Hall, commencing at 7pm. By working together we can make the area a safer place in which to live, work and visit. TIME FOR A FRESH START? Fresh Start, serving the over-50s, has a new age kurling session today (Monday) at St John's Church Hall, Bigby Street, 1pm-3pm. No experience necessary. Yearly membership is £2.50p, and it's £1.50p per session. Contact Marilyn Demott at the Fresh Start office, Brigg Resource Centre, Horstead Avenue, for further details. Tel (01652) 653384. Some prankster decided to take full advantage of plastic panels left by contractors at the side of Woodbine Avenue over the weekend by spreading several across the road and closing it off to traffic for a time last night. And as Brigg Blog suggested, digging up Glebe Road to lay new power cables has resulted in several of North Lincolnshire Council's large Tarmac traffic humps being considerably reduced in size, which is good news for cars passing over them. Many Brigg folk will mourn the passing of Barry Boston, of Central Square. A family man, he had lived in the town for many years, and was very proud of his garden. A funeral service was held in Scunthorpe last week. It was heartening to read in the Scunthorpe Telegraph's business section of significant refurbishment and investment in the shop on Atkinson Avenue, Brigg - at a time when many small retail outlets are really feeling the pinch from large supermarket competition, and even closing altogether. With Glebe Road an obstacle course, due to the cable-laying reported earlier in Brigg Blog, I was unable to get to the shop I'd normally visit the other night, and so rode the Grammar School Road speed humps and negotiated the many parked cars to make the short detour to Atkinson Avenue, to make my small purchase there instead. And I bet I'm not the only customer Glebe Road shop lost as a result of the roadworks! Will any compensation be paid? Older Brigg residents will remember, in the 1960s and 1970s, when the shop serving the Springbank estate was run by Mr and Mrs Lilley. The premises have been extended down the years, and it's good to see the place still going strong. If, or when, the huge Brigg North housing development gets underway - scores of new homes on land stretching from Western Avenue to Atherton Way - it will create additional trade for this retail outlet. Similarly, in Glebe Road, when Keigar Homes put up new properties on the former school site it will mean extra customers using the small shop opposite, if only to pick up a copy of their favourite local newspaper. Glebe Road shop used to benefit from the passing trade created by the school - before the new one opened in Atherton Way - with parents arriving to pick up their youngsters maybe getting a few items, and children popping in for crisps and sweets. Turning the clock back to the late 1960s, we would make regular visits to Mrs Gray's shop, as it then was, for our sweets, chewing gum, or a bottle of pop, as a treat. Famously, on one occasion, when senior pupils were given the summer task of repainting the outside of the Glebe Road school swimming pool, our teacher (Brian Neale?) said we would need to apply plenty of elbow-grease, as well as paint. This led to Mrs Gray's staff being asked for some tins of the stuff. I kid you not - but stress I was not one of those who fell into the trap! While dwelling on the subject of small shops, we should not forget Dave Dent's Spar, in Queen Street. On Brigg Amateur Social Historians' excellent calendar there's a picture of these premises three or four decades ago. Still instantly recognisable. Long may small general stores like these continue in Brigg. But, like many things in life these days, it's a case of 'use it or lose it'. Let's all think about that next time we are planning to make a small purchase. It's great to have Tesco and Lidl for the 'big family shop' but, for many of us, particularly men who don't do much shopping, convenience counts for a lot. We've lost a few small shops down the years, of course. There used to be Button's, on Bridge Street, opposite the Brocklesby Ox, later taken on by a Mr Rae, if memory serves me correctly. Button's also used to handle parcels on Lincolnshire Road Car buses which stopped outside. And Bowen's, of course, had a shop attached to their bakery, near the junction of Grammar School Road and Glebe Road, where you could buy groceries as well as freshly-baked bread and delicious cakes. Further down Grammar School Road - next to the Ancholme Inn - was Ernie Robinson's shop. It later belonged to Ian Reid, a member of the well-known Brigg family from Springbank, but was eventually demolished and is now the site of a couple of new houses. Way back in the '60s, there was Cordock's little shop alongside The Monument, next to Sass's garage showroom. How many remember that one? Last, but by no means least, was George Hewson's in Colton Street, selling a wide range of items to people on the Newlands estate. George was a very well-known and long-serving councillor, and Mayor, serving local government at town, borough and county level. The main council offices in Brigg, Hewson House, were named in his honour. If you can recall any further convenience shops which were serving Brigg folk in the 1960s and 1970s please email [email protected] or [email protected] EXTENSION ON WAY Planning permission to erect a two-storey rear extension at 74 Grammar School Road, Brigg, has been granted to Mr R Andrew by North Lincolnshire Council. Meanwhile, permission to erect a conservatory to rear of 12 Westrum Lane,is being sought by Mr Welburn. Labels: p GARDEN TOWN Brigg will be among a host of small towns and villages chasing honours in this year's Calor Village of the Year competition for East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire. Entry forms were distributed in February, and now the organisers have issued a reminder to communities that they only have until April 18 to send them in. This could include some villages in the Brigg area. Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council's competition organiser, Peter Hirschfeld, is urging those which have not yet entered to do so soon. "When villagers work together to complete an entry to the competition it brings alive a community spirit in them that just can't be replicated in any other activity," he said. "We want as many villages as possible to benefit from this. The closing date is approaching but there is still time for villages to enter if they act now." The competition is sponsored by Calor – the UK's leading supplier of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Later this year, one of the winning villages from East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire will have the added honour of being nominated to go forward and represent the area in the prestigious Calor Village of the Year for England competition. This will give that village the opportunity of gaining recognition at national level as well as a share of a prize fund totalling more than £40,000. The county's nominee to the 2007/8 national competition, Wrawby, is now preparing for a visit from competition judges, coming up on April 22. Entry forms for can be requested from Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council by telephoning 01377 232134 or downloaded from www.hwrcc.org.uk Brigg has done well in the small town section in the past, and a good number of framed certificates can be seen in the meeting room of the Angel Suite, where the town council is based. Additional planting of flowers is being funded this spring, which should improve the town's chances of gaining further success. Judges pay visits and award marks to decide the top places. Pictured above is the versatile Peter Hirschfield, community development officer, Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council, addressing a recent public meeting in the Angel Suite about parish plans. CRYING SHAME The announcement yesterday there is to be no Brigg summer fair in August is very depressing indeed, not only for the people of the area who enjoyed the street entertainment and fun events provided in the Market Place and Wrawby Street, but also for town traders, whose tills were kept busy by the visiting crowds. With the fair stretching back in time more than 800 years, we now have to hope the travelling/gypsy community still turns up to stage the horse fair. For that event - run separately to the summer fair these days - is purely unofficial. The police keep a watching brief, some barriers are put along Station Road (near the Hewson House council offices) and everyone does their best to keep away the horses being paraded a safe distance from onlookers of all ages. But in today's culture of risk assessments and extensive health and safety legislation, there's no way organisations like Brigg Town Council and North Lincolnshire Council want to get involved with the horse fair part of the event. It passed off peacefully last year, with no reported mishaps. And many, many townsfolk, and visitors, enjoyed watching the horses being traded in the centuries-old manner. But it's a great shame the continuity of one of our town's great traditions now rests on whether travellers from other parts of the UK decide it's still worth bringing their steeds to Brigg on 'oss fair day. And there's another potential problem: Will the travellers stage the event on the traditional August 5 (a Tuesday), or go for the nearest Saturday (August 2)when bigger crowds will obviously turn out? Maybe Coun Tom Glossop will be able to help clear that up, nearer the time. For, in the days when he chaired the community association which oversaw the event for a time, he used to have some useful contacts in the travelling community which came to trade horses in Brigg. Pictured above is a typical scene from last year's Brigg horse fair, held on a Saturday. FEEL LIKE DANCING? Circle dancing is being held on Thursday at Brigg Resource Centre, Horstead Avenue, where Fresh Start - serving the over-50s of North Lincolnshire - now has a base. The session - from 6.30pm to 8pm - offers the chance to have fun, learn new dances and make new friends. It's just £2 per person. Thursday also sees a get-together of Brigg Older People's Club at St John's Church Hall, Bigby Street, from 1pm to 3pm. This costs £1 and includes refreshments. For further details about either of these sessions, contact Marilyn Demott, community development worker, on (01652) 653384. WE CAN TURN BACK TIME Small towns and villagers in England are sometimes accused of being in a timewarp. In Brigg, at present, we might have to accept that description as being true - in part. For no-one has yet got round to adjusting our most prominent timepiece - the two-faced clock on top of the North Lincolnshire Council-owned Buttercross, fronting onto the Market Place. Despite millions of other UK timepieces, computers and machines having been updated at the weekend to keep British Summer Time, ours is still an hour 'out'. Maybe someone will be able to get it sorted by market day, when the town enjoys its customary influx of folk from surrounding villages. NIGHT OF NOSTALGIA Former pupils of Brigg Grammar School, Brigg Girls' High School and Sir John Nelthorpe School met at Elsham Golf Club for their annual dinner. Eighty members, ranging in seniority from George Gurnell (87), who attended Brigg Grammar between 1932 and 1938, through to those currently at Brigg Sixth Form College, attended the event. There was a very strong contingent from the 1960s and several members had made considerable efforts to return. Neville Miller flew in through blizzards and snowdrifts from the frozen wastes of the Arctic where he had been installing satellite equipment in temperatures of minus 40 degrees. Others came from Spain, America and Croatia. John Allcock (a pupil from 1958-1965), who now teaches at Sir John Nelthorpe School, spoke of his experiences as a grammar school pupil travelling into Brigg by bus six days a week, as that included Saturday morning school in the 1960s. His speech was packed with of humour and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the occasion with a rare standing ovation when he sat down. He reminded his contemporaries of the instruction by prefects as the bus crossed the bridge into Brigg – 'caps on' – and of the cottage industry which took full advantage of the various skills collected together on one bus, enabling homework to be completed during the journey. He spoke warmly about the various characters among his contemporaries, many of them gathered at nearby tables to hear his recollections. Football, cricket, swimming and athletics were high on the list of priorities and each held an amusing story or anecdote. However, he reflected that through lack of local education authority investment the sports facilities have not been improved in 50 years and schools in Scunthorpe are demolishing facilities far better than those still in use at one of the leading schools in North Lincolnshire. Sir John Nelthorpe School headteacher, Linda Hewlett-Parker, praised the performance of the present students and detailed their successes in the summer examinations 2007 where they were top of the North Lincolnshire league tables for subjects including maths and English. Briggensians' chairman, Jane Gibbons, thanked those who had worked so hard for the association during the past year and congratulated those who had gathered from many quarters of the globe to reunite with their old classmates and enjoy the opportunity to catch up on the life and achievements of their friends. Secretary Barbara Kernon described it as a a very good evening.. "There was a table of 12 from John Allcock's year and John was an excellent speaker – he kept everyone amused," she said. The sixth formers did a super job running the raffle and photographs from the past were on display, giving guests plenty to talk about. "People seemed reluctant to leave," she added. Next year's dinner date has been fixed as Saturday, March 21 at Elsham Golf Club. For further information about the association, visit the website www.briggensians.net or email [email protected] Pictured here are (left to right): John Allcock (chief guest); Linda Hewlett-Parker (headteacher, Sir John Nelthorpe School); Jane Gibbons (chairman of the Briggensians); Roy O'Neill (chairman of governors), Barbara Kernon (Briggensians' secretary.

In a world of on-demand streaming services, it's easy to forget that some people still really like owning a downloaded or disk version of a movie, and for anyone with a huge library, Movietag could prove incredibly useful. The interface is straightforward, and once you have an account, adding movies in your collection to the platform and tagging them is as easy as pie. Just search for them using the bar at the top of the screen and then select from the list that appears as you start typing. It's all pretty slick. Once you've added in your downloaded, DVD, Blu-ray or other format films with appropriate tags they're easily sortable, and appear in a list on your main account page under the tags you've created. In this sense, tags are more akin to 'categories'. Don't worry if you end up with a huge number of tags – they're also searchable, so you can always find the one you need in a pinch. For people who rarely watch movies, Movietag probably feels like overkill, but for anyone with an expansive collection, you'll know how easy it is to lose track of what you own and what you haven't seen yet. As well as helping you organize movies into categories, you can mark them as public or private – so you can keep anything embarrassing away from prying eyes. However, Movietag is by no means perfect, and depending on how you use it, might not make any sense at all. For example, the demo account on the website uses categories like 'Best of Comedy', 'Best of Animated', 'Own' and 'Watchlist' – but it might not really make sense to have to remove the 'Watchlist' tag once you've seen something and add it to another category. It also means you'll have a collection of movies spanning different genres here that you'll need to re-tag later. I like the option of having a watchlist – it just might be best logically served by a tag, rather than its own section. Each category page shows you all the movies tagged within and a star rating system underneath, in case you can't remember which movies you really liked and which ones you'll probably want to avoid in future. Clicking through to an individual title shows you a synopsis of the movie, release info, cast and crew and review information (where applicable). For anyone that likes to manage their collection on the move, the platform works well from a mobile or tablet too, allowing you to view titles as a list rather than as tiles. Overall, it might only appeal to movie buffs or people with huge collections to keep track of but Movietag is a simple, free way to cut down the 'what shall we watch?' discussion – and that's priceless.

Twenty-two school children on their way to start a new term are among those feared to have died on a ferry missing for 12 days between remote islands in Kiribati. Ten primary school children were among the 88 on board, as well as 13 high school students. One 14-year-old girl was among seven survivors rescued in the central Pacific on Sunday, from a wooden dinghy that had no engine, water, food or radio. The MV Butiraoi ferry left Nonouti Island on 18 January for a two-day, 250km (155-mile) trip to Betio, the largest township of Kiribati's capital city, South Tarawa. It failed to arrive as scheduled on 20 January. The Nonouti council has gone door to door compiling a list of anyone who had family on the ferry, which was carrying no emergency rescue equipment or locator beacon, and had a recent history of mechanical problems. Using this method, the council has confirmed that a total of 88 people – 45 male and 43 female – boarded the ferry. The Kiribati government has been strongly criticised by families awaiting news of loved ones for its alleged disregard for marine safety, and the fact it took officials six days to call on Fiji and New Zealand for help from the air, using radar equipment and specialised marine rescue teams. Ieremia Tabai, a Nonouti MP, slammed the vessel as "unseaworthy" and said the government should have stopped it sailing. Planes from the US and Australia have also joined in the aerial search, but nothing of significance has been spotted in the massive search area since Sunday, rescuers have said. President Taneti Maamau gave a second public address overnight, saying a full investigation would take place. "The government is with you, the people of Nonouti, including those who have been greatly affected by this incomparable incident and it will not run away from it but to humbly accept it and will try its very best to search for the remaining passengers," Maamau said on Radio Kiribati. A Kiribati medical team of three doctors and four nurses reached the seven survivors on Tuesday. The survivors are now on board the Te Anoai and being transported to the main island of Tarawa for further treatment. They are reported to be in reasonable health. Maamau said he remained hopeful that others could still be found alive. Former president Anote Tong told the ABC that the apparent sinking had shocked his nation and people were angry at the government as they looked for someone to blame. "This is by far the biggest disaster in terms of numbers and also in terms of the people involved," said Tong, who has called for a thorough investigation of the incident, saying the disaster could amount to a "criminal act" if it was found to be due to gross negligence.

Junichi Masuda Responds To Pokémon Sword And Shield Fan Backlash Game Freak producer Junichi Masuda has responded to the controversy that has now surrounded Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. This backlash came after it was revealed at E3 2019 that not all Pokémon will appear in the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusives. "Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I've read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon," Masuda explained in a message. "Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pokémon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I'd like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games. "The world of Pokémon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pokémon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey." In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, you will choose between three starter Pokémon – Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble – before having the chance to explore the Galar region – with its idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. Challenging the Gyms in the region, you will once again look to become Champion. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch worldwide on November 15th. Junichi Masuda The Pokémon Company

We're up to the seventh post on the in the plan cache series. This time we'll be talking about the last of the possible children for the Statements elements – the StmtSimple element. StmtSimple, commonly referred to as statement simple, can contain the plan information for a query plan, a store procedure, or a user defined function. The StmtSimple element is the place in which most of the interesting and useful queries against the plan cache will originate. The missing index and parallelism queries are both based on children of the StmtSimple element. And after his post, the shift of the Can You Dig It? posts will shift from academic to practical. I can hear the crowds roar now. The StmtSimple element defines the execution plan for a single query, store procedure, or user defined function. Note the user defined function bit – you won't find their plans embedded in the query or store procedure plans. They have their own separate plans. Much of the information gathered for the execution plan will be contained at this level including statistics on rows and cost, along with the SET OPTIONS for the statement. The statistics mentioned for the statement are stored as attributes for the StmtSimple element. Rather than go on and on about how awesome they are, here's a list of some of the more useful elements. StatementOptmLevel: This states whether the plan that is trivial or full. A trivial plan occurs when the optimizer determines only one plan will ever be optimal. StatementOptmEarlyAbortReason: This attribute indicates if the plan compilation aborted before before the compile threshold was reached. Aborting early isn't necessarily bad since less time compiling plans leaves more resources for other activities. There are three values possible for this attribute, besides no value. These values are GoodEnoughPlanFound, TimeOut, and MemoryLimitExceeded. The only one to be concerned with is the MemoryLimitExceeded as it can indicate resource issues. For more details on these reasons see the note in the XML Showplans MSDN article. StatementType: The type of T-SQL statement. This will vary based on the statement. Some possible values are ASSIGN, SELECT, DELETE, GOTO, etc. QueryHash: Binary hash value that can be used to help identify similar query statements. QueryPlanHash: Binary hash value that can be used to help identify similar query execution plans. This isn't an exhaustive list of the attributes for StmtSimple, but it does highlight some of the more useful. With some of these you can immediately start investigating your plan cache. A few of the upcoming posts will examine some of these use case. A possible child of the the StmtSimple element is the StatementSetOptions element. This element is applicable whether or not the the statement is a query, stored procedure, or a user-defined function. This element contains all of the SET options that can have a bearing on your query cost and execution. Each of these can have an expected or unexpected impact on how queries run in your environment. The store procedure out in your environment that is rounding the investments made to your retirement account because of NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT setting might be important to discover. Or how about finding out your annual bonus was miscalculated in a suboptimal way due to ARITHABORT? This post might feel like the end, but it is just the beginning. As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, the remaining posts will be shifting to more practical posts that can be applied to your environment. Through the last few posts the groundwork of the information within the plan cache has been laid out. From here we'll start to look at specific needs and how to query your plan cache to discover the occurrences of this information. This will provide you with methods to evaluate your SQL Server as a whole as address the areas with the greatest need. If you have a need to retrieve some information from your plan cache and can't figure out how to get it out, feel free to leave a comment below and I'll see what I can do to get it out for you. It'll likely become a future blog post and useful resource for others.

GigRadar New Band of the Week GigRadar Goes Global American Bands Asian Metal Aussie Rocks Canadia Rock Dutch Metal Espana Rock Hungarian Metal Irish Metal Kiwi Rocks Norwegian Punk ScandiRock Swiss Rock GigRadio GigRadar Playlists GigRadar Spotify Playlist GigRadar Travel Introducing Italian Bands Introducing: Genus Ordinis Dei Posted on 24/05/2018 by robilaz Italian symphonic death metal quartet Genus Ordinis Dei are a fascinating proposition, having honed an exciting sound that fuses heavy metal with more delicate, often haunting orchestral instrumentals. Furthermore, their music is largely inspired by their alternative take on passages of the Bible, which fuels the intrigue. The quartet of Nick K (vocals and guitars), Tommy Mastermind (guitars), Steven F.Olda (bass) and Richard Meiz (drums) were born and raised in the town of Crema, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, and shared stages in various different bands before forming Genus Ordinis Dei back in 2012. Having opened for Lacuna Coil on their cross-Europe tour in 2016, which included a sold out show at Camden's Koko, it's safe to say this is a band that's going places and has fairly lofty ambitions. As they tell us: "To be the kind of band who inspires the next generation to do music, like Metallica or Iron Maiden did to us and pretty much everyone!" Inspired by the likes of Lamb Of God, Gojira, Dark Tranquillity, Dimmu Borgir, Insomnium and Periphery, you'd be right in assuming this is pretty heavy stuff, with fascinating vocal delivery and booming guitars supported by haunting symphonic instrumentals. Their latest album Great Olden Dynasty, released last year, is a work of symphonic metal brilliance, which also features the unmistakable vocals of Lacuna Coil frontwoman Cristina Scabbia on penultimate track Salem. Opening track The Unleashed, throws you straight in at the deep in with huge driving drums, powerful vocals and guitars soon joined by darting violins before huge booming guitar chords join the party. The album is chocked full of awesome tracks but worthy of particular mention is the spectacular The Flemish Obituary, which opens up with haunting organ music that's soon joined by choral vocals, which continue alongside booming metal guitars. It drops into light guitars, then chugging guitars under wild vocals that lead into really cool darting guitars. The choral vocals return, a meandering guitar solo kicks in, then a faster solo gives way to more choral vocals and violins are joined by heavy guitars and drums as the song draws to a mighty ending – this epic track really has everything. Then, of course, there's the fantastic Salem. It opens with a light piano intro that gives way to booming guitar chords that are joined by a driving fast-paced riff. Nick's huge vocals come in answered by melodic yet powerful responses from Cristina Scabbia. Check it out in the lyric video below: On what inspires their music, Richard tells us: "Pretty much everything that's art. We live in Italy, so we are surrounded by art in every form. We find inspiration in books, cities, travels, music… but also films and TV series! Everything that makes the 'Right vibes.' (But) our key topic is a reinterpretation of the Bible like every passage of it seen from another perspective." "Every one of us had this dream and we found out that we all have the same ambitions. So we started the band and here we are! It's like having a second family. We always support each other not only for the 'band things' but for everything else too! And Richard tells us their creative process is far more complex than simply getting into a studio and jamming songs out. As he explains: "We are not the kind of band who just go and rehearse until a song is written. We must write first due to the orchestral parts that have to be arranged. "Me and Tommy are the main composers of every song. I usually start with the idea of a song and later on Tommy does all the orchestrations and the final arrangement, then I start to work with Nick on the lyrics." We've featured many awesome bands coming out of Italy, for whom the difficulties of making a living out of rock and metal are a common theme. Richard told us: "It's not easy at all! I mean, it's easier now to start doing music because everyone can record at home and thanks to the Internet you can share your music everywhere. But if you can do that, every band can do that! It's quite impossible to make a living because CD sales are falling down and the only way that a musician can earn is to tour. But touring is most of the time expensive until you reach a certain notoriety!" Genus Ordinis Dei are a fascinating band who, from what we've heard, certainly have the capability to earn that notoriety. They have a couple of videos released for album tracks and have started the writing process for their next album. You can also see them live in the next couple of months as they play Legend Club in Milan on 17 June then Rock In Park in Grosseto on 15 July. More info on upcoming gigs is here. You can follow Genus Ordinis Dei on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, and check out their music on Spotify, iTunes and all the usual places.

Sinya's Rescue News Updates Sinya's Rescue On the 14th September at 8 On the 14th September at 8.00 am an elephant calf of approximately eight months old was discovered by Maasai boys trapped in a well dug for their livestock on the Kenyan border with Tanzania in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The location was not far from Amboseli National Park and close to the Sinya mines where Meerschaum is mined. There were no longer any elephants in the area, her family obviously having abandoned her having tried desperately to rescue her no doubt, but mindful too of the fact that the herd was vulnerable in an area frequented by humans. The well was not particularly deep yet the steep solid sides, with little space for maneuvering, made any hope of her getting out on her own impossible. Her head was propped against the rough side of the hole and her trunk had been chewed by Hyenas overnight or possibly in the early hours of the morning as she lay trapped yet exposed. One of the three Maasai boys who discovered her walked to the Kenyan Wildlife Service Kitirua Gate in order to send a message to the Headquarters of Amboseli National Park, while the other kids remained at the well site with the calf and their livestock. The Amboseli Trust for Elephants team received the message late morning and immediately went to the scene arriving there by midday. Due to how narrow the hole was and how steep the sides were they had difficulty in extracting the calf themselves, and had to wait for the Kenyan Wildlife Service to arrive with more hands to help. In the meantime both Cynthia Moss, and The Kenyan Wildlife Service had alerted The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust about the plight of this poor unfortunate calf and we began with the usual preparations for a rescue. Due to the time restrictions and the fact that the rescue plane would have to take off from the Amboseli National Park airstrip no later than 6.15pm, it fast became evident that given the distances involved in this rescue coupled with the difficulty the rescue team was having in extracting her, time was running out. We made the decision to fly the Keepers to Amboseli to be dropped off in order for them to overnight with Sinya, as she was named, to give her the all important antibiotic injection, and both the milk and rehydration she would need overnight. On arrival at Amboseli our three Keepers were met by Cynthia and immediately set off for the site in order to lend a hand with the rescue proceedings. The time now was 17.30pm. In the meantime, the Kenyan Wildlife Service team had arrived and together they had managed to pull the calf out. She had scrapes on her body where she had struggled against the walls of the well, but the more serious injuries were on her trunk caused by Hyeanas. The team of Keepers and Cynthia met up with the KWS rangers at Kitirua Gate where the keepers were able take over and make the calf more comfortable. They then drove to the Amboseli main airstrip and the Keepers and calf were housed in a building under reconstruction at the airstrip so that they could be on hand for the rescue plane due in early the following morning. There were no windows or doors which clearly was going to prove challenging throughout the night for the Keepers, but thankfully Sinya was feeding well and immediately bonded with the Keepers desperate for more fluids and happy to have a finger to suck. Having been fed supper and armed with a powerful torch and hurricane lamp the three men and the calf endured a long and sometimes harrowing night. The Keepers with a calf that screamed out in anguish and hunger from time to time were mindful of how vulnerable they were from not only predators but wild elephants coming to investigate the cries. They barricaded the large entrance with a small table and a drum of diesel in an effort to keep the African night at bay but were painfully aware of what an unsatisfactory barricade it actually was. The haunting cry of Hyena echoed through the building shell, coupled with a whistling wind which picked up overnight, but fortunately for them, although they did not sleep a wink, Sinya had no intention of running off into the night, all too aware of what a threat the Hyenas could be to her and more than happy to take comfort at the side of the Keepers. As the dawn broke over Amboseli and Mt. Kilimanjaro, Cynthia Moss and the rest of the Amboseli Elephant research team returned to the airstrip to see how everybody had fared overnight. There she found three tired men having had no sleep at all, but Sinya sound asleep. Before the rescue plane arrived the Keepers took their young charge for a walk down the airstrip and she followed them willingly, ravenous for more milk. It was not long before the plane arrived with Robert, another Keeper, armed with freshly mixed milk, and some breakfast for Stephen, Amos and Josophat, who by this stage were exhausted. Sinya was loaded into the aircraft with the help of KWS personnel and the Amboseli Elephant Research Unit and flown directly to Wilson Airport in Nairobi and once there then had to endure another short journey in the back of the pick up to The David Sheldrick Wildlifes Nairobi Nursery situated in Nairobi National Park. On arrival at the Nursery it was evident that she had suffered not only the obvious wounds from the Hyena mauling she had endured while trapped helpless in the well, but also massive bruising and chaffing on her legs, chin and back from struggling for so long and hard in an effort to free herself. She was by now exhausted, clad in a warm blanket, she rested her head close to Amos and slept soundly until the next feed time. Her wounds were treated and a broad spectrum antibiotic administered again. She was originally placed in the stable next to Shimba, but the following day when she met up with the three little orphans already resident at the nursery, Lempaute, Shimba and Lesanju, she became instantly hooked on Lesanju. (We had removed the stable partitions the previous day to accommodate Lempaute and Lesanju in one large stable as they had been moved from their original stable to accommodate the newcomer) Mellow Shimba didnt seem bothered either way, and Lempaute was clearly jealous as Lesanju became fixated by the newcomer. She is such a responsible little elephant Lesanju, and she shares a special bond too with Sinya, as both suffered the same fate, albeit hundreds of miles apart and from two different elephant populations in Kenya, but both fell down man made wells, and both were rescued by caring Maasai and Samburu tribesmen respectively. Sinyas first full day in the nursery began with her being placed in the big stable together with all the little orphans as it was a rainy cold morning. This provided a perfect place for them all the get to know each other, and for us to get to know her. Although mischievous little Lempaute was more interested in playing with whoever would oblige, and occasionally shoved Sinya when she thought nobody was looking. Soon the rain subsided and the rest of the day was spent outside, the little group of babies staying together for the day. That night Sinya refused to stay in the stable next door to Shimba and was incredibly restless even becoming aggressive towards the Keepers for the first time. At first we thought it may be because of the pain from her recently dressed wounds, but it soon became evident that it was Lesanju she was after. Eventually Sinya was moved into the big stable and once she found herself back with the other two little girls, Lesanju and Lempaute, she instantly calmed down and fell asleep close to them peacefully, three elephant lumps in the hay, and three Keepers. This left Shimba alone with his Keeper with no next door neighbor but he appeared to be completely oblivious to this development, and probably was relieved to have a more peaceful night as a result. With the company of the other elephants close by Sinya each day and night her physiological wounds will heal, it will of course take time, but thanks to those that rescued her and with the love of her dedicated Keepers and the other orphans in the Nursery the memories of her terrible ordeal will fade and she has another chance of life.

Low expense businesses – Affordable Business Ideas are occasionally difficult to identify if you happen to be looking inside the wrong area and desiring mounds of dollars.

It requires certain capabilities such as: manage, have vision and initiative, promote, encourage, motivate, convene, direct, organize and evaluate with duly established indicators, the activities of a work team, in such a way that the objectives effectively within the administrative process of an organization. The first empirical research on leadership was published in 1904, main impulses in that field occurred during the First World War, whose interest was to identify the characteristics of leadership and way men ascend into managerial positions. At that time there was the phenomenon of industrialization that, together with the development of large bureaucratic organizations in the business activities and the government, provoked the need for new leadership. Organizations are constantly facing numerous changes. Stephen B. classifies them into six forces: nature of the labor force, technology, economic crises, competition, social trends, and world politics; each of these forces with an argumentative support that alerted us on the new challenges that the leaders of the 21st century should assume. In many organizations, the people who are in charge of the posts managers usually amount to that position, because they are relatives of the owners, as well as in politics applies this type of practices. The first studies on leadership were focused on finding the psychological traits inherent in effective leaders; characteristics like intelligence, will, sociability and conditions of authority were the most accepted. A second stage in the study of leadership are the theories of double factor (they study the behavior of the leader), these theories have as their core central the variable authoritarianism democracy, defined as the degree of participation that the boss gives his subordinates in the search for alternatives and decision making. It is necessary in all types of human organization, whether in the companies or in each of their departments. It is also essential in administration functions because the administrator needs to know the human motivation and know how to lead people, that is, to be a leader. According to the authors of the Theory of human relations, leadership can see from different perspectives, namely: Leadership as a phenomenon of interpersonal influence Leadership is the interpersonal influence exerted in a situation, oriented to the achievement of one or several specific objectives through the process of human communication. Leadership, a social phenomenon that occurs only in social groups, should be analyzed according to the interpersonal relationships in a certain social structure.

Motivate people. The leader must diagnose the performance of the individuals, create a pleasant and motivating environment and reward good performance to reinforce and encourage it. The motivation of the people is another fundamental ability for leadership. 4. Manage conflicts.

Adam McKay on how to make a movie about climate change Don't Look Up finds the dark humor in existential threat. This is a crossover episode between Volts and The Carbon Copy. If you like what you hear, consider subscribing to both podcasts. Pop culture is increasingly grappling with climate-change themes. And some of it is appealing to wide audiences. But Hollywood films with climate themes are often dystopic and heavy-handed. They fail to consider in nuanced ways the forces that are causing and exacerbating climate change right now. So when David Roberts heard about a new Netflix film last December called Don't Look Up, he figured it would be more of the same. But he was delighted when he realized that screenwriter and director Adam McKay had actually flipped the disaster-movie premise. It worked. Don't Look Up became one of the most-watched movies ever on Netflix. And it sparked an overwhelming online response among climate scientists, culture writers and audiences responding to the angst. This week on The Carbon Copy: a conversation between David Roberts and Adam McKay about the inspiration, themes and impact of the film. Will it convince Hollywood to approach climate issues in a different way? Guest: David Roberts, founder of the Volts newsletter and podcast. Read his review of the film. Listen to the extended version of his interview with Adam McKay.

История Сформирован в Красноярске из лётчиков-инструкторов Красноярского, Ачинского и Черногорского аэроклубов как 679-й ночной ближнебомбардировочный авиационный полк, однако практически сразу по поступлении в действующую армию перепрофилирован в транспортный авиаполк. На вооружении полка состояли самолёты У-2 В составе действующей армии с 10.03.1942 по 13.01.1945. В основном действовал на кестеньгском направлении Карельского фронта, использовался для транспортировки командного состава, ведения ближней разведки, снабжения как регулярных частей, так и партизан, разведывательных и диверсионных групп. При этом, несмотря на название, вплоть до окончания боевых действий на севере в 1944 году, частично использовался как бомбардировочный полк. Так, весной 1942 года 1-я эскадрилья полка использовалась в боевых действиях в районе Кестеньги, а 2-я осуществляла транспортные перевозки, находясь в распоряжении начальник тылы ВВС Карельсконго фронта. По окончании боевых действий в Заполярье в боях не участвовал. Подчинение По-видимому, в период с июня по декабрь 1944 года входил в состав одной из авиационных дивизий, действовавших в составе 7-й воздушной армии.

Journal Name: Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry Publish Date: Decmeber 1998 Volume/Page: 51(12):1591-3. Type: Human Study, Case Report Categories: Brain, Pharmacokinetics, CNS The CSF fluoride level of individuals drinking water with normal fluoride content and of patients with endemic fluorosis were studied. For the purpose of studying the relationship between the dynamic equilibrium of the CSF fluoride and other body fluids, urine and blood fluoride were examined simultaneously. Fluoride was revealed in every CSF sample of the control group and its mean value was lower than that of the blood. The CSF fluoride concentration of patients with fluorosis was slightly higher than that of the control group, although there was no statistically significant difference. The results suggests that fluoride is a normal component of CSF. In severe cases of fluorosis or breakdown of the blood-brain in some diseases of the central nervous system, the CSF fluoride value might be increased. Related Studies : The tissue distribution of fluoride in a fatal case of self-poisoning. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of fluoride poisoning along with a discussion of poisoning characteristics, analytical procedures, and a review of previous reports of fatal intoxications with analytical data. A case of suicidal ingestion of 40 mL of a rust removal agent containing hydrofluoric acid Neurobehavioral evaluation of soil and structural fumigators using methyl bromide and sulfuryl fluoride. Neurobehavioral functions affected by methyl bromide exposure were evaluated in California structural and soil fumigators using methyl bromide and sulfuryl fluoride. Sampling data revealed that structural fumigators are exposed for up to 1.5 hrs/day to 0-2.2 ppm methyl bromide and/or 10-200 ppm sulfuryl fluoride, and soil fumigators can be exposed Evaluation of free radical-scavenging and anti-oxidant properties of black berry against fluoride toxicity in rats Oxidative damage to cellular components such as lipids and cell membranes by free radicals and other reactive oxygen species is believed to be associated with the development of degenerative diseases. Fluoride intoxication is associated with oxidative stress and altered anti-oxidant defense mechanism. So the present study was extended to investigate Investigation on the role of Spirulina platensis in ameliorating behavioural changes, thyroid dysfunction and oxidative stress in offspring of pregnant rats exposed to fluoride. Highlights Sodium fluoride exposure from pregnancy to lactation induces thyroid toxicity. This can affect neurodevelopment and induce behavioural changes. Spirulina platensis role in reversing fluoride-induced toxicity was ascertained. Significant protection was exerted by Spirulina The study investigated the role of Spirulina platensis in reversing sodium fluoride-induced thyroid, neurodevelopment and oxidative alterations Effect of fluorosis on mice learning and memory behaviors and brain SOD activity and MDA content Objective: Explore the brain mechanism of the effect of fluorosis on learning and memory behavior. Method: A method combining behavioral observation and biochemical testing was used to study the effects of long-term drinking different concentrations of sodium fluoride on mouse learning and memory behavior and changes in content of brain Related FAN Content : Fluoride & IQ: The 64 Studies As of December 2019, a total of 72 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence. Of these investigations, 64 studies have found that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ in humans, while over 60 animal studies have found that fluoride exposure impairs the learning and/or Fluoride Affects Learning & Memory in Animals An association between elevated fluoride exposure and reduced intelligence has now been observed in 64 IQ studies. Although a link between fluoride and intelligence might initially seem surprising or random, it is actually consistent with a large body of animal research. This animal research includes the following 45 studies (out Fluoride's Direct Effects on Brain: Animal Studies The possibility that fluoride ingestion may impair intelligence and other indices of neurological function is supported by a vast body of animal research, including over 40 studies that have investigated fluoride's effects on brain quality in animals. As discussed by the National Research Council, the studies have consistently demonstrated that fluoride, at widely varying concentrations, is toxic to the brain. Fluoride's Neurobehavioral Effects in Humans & Animals In addition to studies linking fluoride to reduced IQ in humans, and impaired learning/memory in animals, human and animal studies have also linked fluoride to a variety of other neurobehavioral effects. These studies, which are excerpted below, provide yet further evidence that fluoride is a neurotoxin.

Contribute Now > WeGov Online Organizing Civic Hacking TechPresident Home All Topics Emergent Governance: Who Needs Bees When the Grassroots Swarm the White House BY Alan Rosenblatt | Wednesday, November 5 2008 As we transition from the presidential campaign to an Obama administration, the looming question is, "What will become of all those people networked via My.BarackObama.com (MyBO) and Obama's massive email list?" Is there a place in government for the swarming grassroots masses? And can we capitalize on its collective intelligence in order to make its contribution meaningful? I see two non-mutually exclusive tracks Obama can take. Track one is to keep MyBO alive as a political community outside of government. Track two is to turn Obama's massive grassroots community into a vehicle for a more transparent and connected democracy. Regardless of how Obama pursues using these new technologies in the coming years, there will be technological and legal challenges to overcome. The laws separating the two domains and the technological challenges of bringing federal government systems up to date will shape how social networking technology gets incorporated into the mix. And in addition to the challenges of bringing the social network inside, there will also be the challenge of making government more transparent. In an ideal world, the government will provide an easy to use interface for citizens to access government data and an open access to the raw data so others can use them in other ways. Track one: keep the community alive For years, I have advocated that elected officials should keep their campaign website going in between elections. Doing so would allow them to call on their political supporters to help promote the officials' legislative and regulatory initiatives. For Obama, this means he could mobilize millions to write Congress, send letters to editors around the country, comment on blogs, and a host of other grassroots activism activities. Additionally, keeping the community alive means it will grow and be vibrant when it is time to run for re-election. Beyond keeping MyBO alive, Obama is also sitting on top of an extraordinary network of supporters on several social media websites, including MySpace, Facebook, BlackPlanet, MiGente, Eons, Asian Ave, Eventful, Twitter, Digg, Flickr, YouTube, MyBatanga, Glee, FaithBase, LinkedIn, and DNC Partybuilder. Throw in other emerging advocacy-oriented social networks like the Center for American Progress Action Fund's IAmProgress.org and AARP's online community, and the potential for cultivating a dynamic and powerful grassroots advocacy base to enhance MyBo and spread the progressive message is enormous. Track two: transparent and connected democracy This track is a little trickier, but no less important. By creating an official White House social network that invites all voters in and opens the doors to the governing process, Obama has the opportunity to reinvigorate Edmund Burke's delegate model of representative government. Instead of guessing from Washington what the people want, such a platform can more accurately reveal the public will and make it easier for government to reflect that will. For years we have talked about how Washington is disconnected from Main Street. With these new technologies and the millions already connected through them, that disconnect can be put to rest. But the challenge of making sense of millions of people clamoring to be heard is huge. One approach to raising the quality of the public voice is to integrate collaboration tools into the social network platform. Rather than letting individuals each offer their selection, which would create an email overload that dwarfs what Congress faces, the network can be organized into affinity groups and given tools that allow them to build collaborative documents that are supported by more consensus or the approximation of consensus. These affinity groups may be geographically based, issue based, demographically based, or based on any meaningful group of people with a shared interest. Each group can work together, if provided the right tools, to create a coherent policy recommendation to pass up the line. One tool recently launched to help these matters is MixedInk. MixedInk combines the well-established wiki collaboration approach—most commonly recognized on Wikipedia—with a social ranking system similar to Digg. MixedInk also allows users to borrow language written by other collaborators and integrate it into their own document. The approach is really quite ingenious. As a user starts typing, the software pops up in a side window similar text from other users. To use that text instead of your own, just click on it and it moves over to your document. The assembled document makes it easy to figure out who wrote it—each piece of text is tagged with the name of the original author—and the document as a whole (and in parts) can be voted on by other users. Emergent governance The notion of emergence, where intelligence is manifested from a collection of minds, is a core concept in chaos theory and the underlying principle in James Surowiecki's The Wisdom of Crowds. Scientists have long noted that, on average, the assessments of a crowd are more likely to be correct than the proclamations of an individual expert. From Elisabeth Noelle Neuman's work on predicting election outcomes (The Spiral of Silence), to the central limit theorem that underlies statistical sampling methodology, the emergence of intelligence from large groups has been well established. The exciting opportunities for governance presented by social networking and collaboration technologies are palpable. The election of a president who understands this potential portents a new golden age for democracy. Perhaps. social networks; transparency

2018 Editorial Goals: Expanding Coverage of Iranian Minority Voices Written byMahsa Alimardani Posted March 5, 2018 18:32 GMT Map of ethno-religious distribution in Iran. Public doman via Wikimedia Commons. In 2018, Global Voices newsroom editors, section leaders, and other core team members will be experimenting with a new approach to our work: periodically setting detailed goals and keeping track of our progress on the Community Blog. In the following post, Iran editor Mahsa Alimardani presents her plans for the first part of the year. 1. What is your editorial goal for the next three months? I have a few: 1. Recruit and expand GV Iran's coverage of minority voices. Currently one of the consistent writers is Rahim, an exiled Ahwazi activist and blogger. It would be great to continue his work on repressions against Iran's Ahwazi's and try to highlight other voices, such as Kurdish, Bahai, and Azeris in the country. 2. Expanding special coverage on Iran. I plan to do at least one more interview in the next three months for the journalist series. Create a special coverage page for the content we posted from the protests in January. Create a page for the artist interviews Omid has started. 3. Continue to maintain relationships and publish content from partners including CHRI and ARTICLE 19. 2. Why is this important, and why now? There are many groups and media outlets providing mainstream coverage of politics in Iran, but there are few mainstream outlets highlighting the voices of minorities like Iran's Ahwazis. Shedding more light on the voices, concerns, and struggles of Iran's minorities, who face censorship, arrests, and threats to their quality of life in Iran, will be crucial in enriching GV's mission and aiding these communities. 3. If achieved, what impact do you envision this goal will have? This will establish Global Voices as a safe space for voices typically ignored in mainstream media. Hopefully, it will enliven the involvement of these groups in the GV Community as well. 4. How does this goal support GV's mission? It goes beyond the mainstream. While the protest movement of December 2017 to January 2018 unearthed more interest in Iran, very few delved into what was at the heart of it; the discontent, for instance, in outlying provinces and amongst various ethnic groups. If we can offer a window into these lives, it will feed into a better understanding of the macro-events and concerns in Iran. 5. Propose a timeline for your goal. Identify: a) the different tasks and stages involved and b) the interim and final outputs By the end of next year, I endeavour to have at least one regular contributor from 2-3 Iranian minority groups. Once the authors have been recruited and on-boarded, I hope to create series or special coverage pages for the regions, or concerns these authors will cover. 6. Against what measures will you evaluate your progress? The variety of content and regions these voices cover.

The Ottawa Star Sexy Pages Four Popular Basketball Casino Games in Canada China altering DNA of military to create genetically engineered "super soldiers," reveals head of U.S. intelligence Home›Health›American media ignores two deaths caused by Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine American media ignores two deaths caused by Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that at least two people died after getting vaccinated for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). And as to be expected, the American mainstream media is completely ignoring the inconvenient news and refusing to report on it. It took The Jerusalem Post from halfway around the world to get the word out about the deaths, which were caused by Pfizer's experimental mRNA jab – you know, the same one the company insists is very safe and effective. mRNA technology, by the way, is capable of reprogramming the human genome through DNA modification. It has never been used in humans until now. You can learn more about how it all works at this link. In an FDA Briefing Document entitled, "Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee Meeting December 10, 2020," the federal agency revealed that Pfizer's experimental Chinese Virus vaccine, which was developed in partnership with the German company BioNTech, caused multiple "serious adverse events" in test participants. Both of the victims were over the age of 55, the reports explains. One suffered cardiac arrest 62 days after receiving vaccination #2, and died three days later. The other suffered atherosclerosis three days after vaccination #1, resulting in almost immediate death. Only one of these individuals was considered to be "immunocompromised," suggesting that Pfizer's experimental WuFlu vaccine is dangerous even for people who are considered to be healthy. The document was released ahead of an upcoming meeting among outside experts who will debate whether or not emergency authorization should be granted by the FDA to Pfizer and BioNTech for the "warp speed" release of the jab. FDA says deaths caused by Pfizer jab prove safety, effectiveness In considering the outcomes incurred by these two now-deceased individuals after getting jabbed, the FDA reportedly came to the conclusion that the experimental vaccine is perfectly "inline" with emergency use authorization, meaning the agency is planning to approve the vaccine regardless. According to the FDA, deaths resulting from COVID-19 vaccination serve as proof that the jab "works," and will be considered as such when the agency grants emergency approval to the "Operation Warp Speed" medical intervention. The only types of people who may not be able to "safely" receive the vaccine are pregnant women, children and other "immunocompromised groups," though this could change once more "research" is released to justify administering the jab to them, too. As it turns out, death is just one of many "serious adverse events" that can result from getting vaccinated with Pfizer's Chinese Virus vaccine. There are 21 other potentially life-threatening conditions that can also result from getting jabbed, so beware. There are two FDA advisory committee deadlines rapidly approaching that are accepting public comments. One is on Dec. 10 and the other is on Dec. 17. Readers are encouraged to watch the live streams and comment on them. The Dec. 10 meeting can be viewed at this link, and the Dec. 17 meeting can be viewed at this link. Much of the hysteria surrounding COVID-19 is a factor of people getting tested with fake tests that produce more than 97 percent false positives. By getting the infamous nose javelin, people are not only handing over the DNA to the unknown, but they are also contributing to the erroneous "case" count that is being used as justification to push for mass vaccination. "Genetic weapons alert," wrote one Health and Money News commenter, succinctly pointing out the true purpose behind the COVID-19 plandemic and Operation Warp Speed.

"Two brothers have sent their toy pirate ship on a North Sea voyage" it traveled 390 miles to Denmark where it was picked up by a family, who contacted the Fergusons via Facebook with photos of them with the boat before returning it to the sea. From there, it traveled to Sweden where it found its way into a tree, found by a woman in her boat who did some running repairs before setting it off on its latest voyage, this time to Norway. "Partly because it was going to waste, we used the Playmobil boat but also as it was more eye-catching for people to pick up rather than leave it where it is," he says. "It's obviously worked better than it ever could have." Its last appearance was in Norway, where it was found by a crew member aboard a conservation vessel a quarter-of-a-mile off the Norwegian shoreline. "It made it to three countries in just about six weeks which is incredible," says Ferguson, with an infinitely more demanding journey now under way. It was put on board the Christian Radich, a fully-rigged ship, and pushed into the waters towards Cape Verde in the Atlantic Ocean.

I used to think that English was the right language, the only language. That everyone else translated their languages into English in their heads. I would hear instructions to put on my zapatos and in image of my pink Velcro light up shoes would pop into my head. Zapatos = shoes. I remember my first time traveling to Mexico at six years old. We walked around shopping centers and I watched as families spoke rapidly with each other, and I wondered how quickly they translated the words in their heads before they spewed out new Spanish conversation. It only made sense that everyone thought in English. As I read the bright orange neon sign at the mall I knew that Zapatería = shoe store. At seven years old I picked up French, and stared learning Hebrew shortly after that. It never occurred to me that the languages were interchangeable, that I could translate French to Spanish, Hebrew to French, Spanish to American Sign Language. English was always the right language. The only language. The other ones were just fluff. As I got older, I had my share of Madams, Señoras, and גברתים, and at some point I realized that the extra languages were not so much superfluous but more of a way to see a different part of the world, a different way that people lived. I realized that not everyone thinks that way I do, and that language was just one way to demonstrate that. Botellazo. It just doesn't exist in English however it is absolutely my favorite word. Its meaning? To hit with a bottle. That's it. Short and sweet. Botellazo. Si no me haces un pastel, te diré un botellazo. If-you-don't-make-me-a-cake,-I'll-hit-you-on-the-head-with-a-bottle just doesn't sound nearly as good in English. Or as cool. The other day while I was waiting for the train, a bunch of city workers jumped out of a truck, decked out in luminescent green snowsuits and armed with snow shovels, and started shoveling the path down to the train tracks. One of them started singing "Me duele, me duele, me duele…" and I smiled as the rest joined in, feeling bad that they had to do all this work while I just stood there in my ski jacket with the fur hood pulled up to keep me warm. It's possible that I may have been staring, envisioning what my life would be like had I emigrated from Mexico, left everything I had just to move snow all winter and cut grass all summer. "Grosera," I heard one of them yell over the noise of the oncoming train. I hadn't meant to be rude at all, and I'm not sure if it was directed at me, but I responded "Feliz Navidad" and I saw the worker smile as I hopped on the train. It's scary not to know what's going on. Not to know what everyone is saying, what they're doing, what they want you to do. I too, am guilty, of watching Telemundo and forgetting that the rest of the company with me on the couch does not understand a word of the ongoing Telenovela. I sometimes speak in Spanish, not thinking, and realize that no one around me understands what I just said. My dog es bilingüe, como yo but somehow I forget that I cannot always just talk AT people when I want to talk TO them. People, unlike dogs, have conversation, responding and listening, and people, think in a specific language. Everyone is different. Some of us think in English, some of us dream en español, and others translate Italiano to Deutsch without even thinking. But no way is wrong. Everyone has her own language, her own way of thinking and hoping and wishing and being, and that is exactly what makes the world interesting.

Q. My baby used to love her pacifier, but now she's found her thumb and there's no looking back. Should I worry about the problems we'll have breaking her of this habit in the future? There's something so sweet and endearing about seeing a baby drifting of to sleep with thumb in mouth. But when they get to be preschoolers, it's not so cute. Knowing a surplus of germs was going straight into my daughter's mouth several times daily was, well, hard to swallow. When she turned four we decided to take action. Thumb sucking after permanent teeth erupt may result in protruding front teeth, an irregular bite or cross-bite, warping of the jaw, facial asymmetry, speech problems and mouth breathing, Williams said. Together, Olivia and Dr. Land came up with a star chart and plan of attack that included wearing socks on her hands at night. Like many children, Olivia's weakness was when she was sleepy. Hence, the socks. Let me say for the record, I wish I had my daughter's willpower. She was done with the thumb within days. She proudly marched into Dr. Land's office when her chart as filled and got the reward she earned. We tend to hear the horror stories about thumb-suckers who continue the habit well into their teen years or beyond. And though it's true that you can't take away a thumb the way you can a pacifier, many children stop on their own once they find new ways to calm and comfort themselves. If your child is still happily sucking away around four or so years of age and you want to help eliminate the habit, keep in mind that nagging and punishing won't help. Instead, consider modifying the behavior with the guidance of a respected orthodontist or pediatric dentist who's been successful helping children give up thumb sucking. As with any behavior modification program, the key to success is consistency.

1994-04-13 Assigned to ROTEC reassignment ROTEC ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS). Assignors: FUSON, FRANCIS G., SNYDER, JEROME F. A message delivery system (12) automatically delivers messages (44) through mobile units (20) as the mobile units (20) travel within a predetermined area (10). Each message (44) is delivered only when the mobile unit (20) is near a point of interest (16) which is the subject of the message's content. Each message (44) is delivered in its entirety, from beginning to end, without repetition. Que points (24) are defined to reside before corresponding points of interest (16) when mobile units (20) travel in particular directions. Based upon these particular directions of travel, message content may be configured to describe points of interest (16) using left or right relative directional references. Messages (44) are delivered in real time, and their content may change quickly and frequently. A control station (18) controls the programming of the mobile units (20) and sends programming communications (48) over the air to change mobile unit programming as needed. The present invention relates generally to message delivery systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to message delivery systems in which messages whose contents are related to geographic points of interest are delivered through mobile units when the mobile units are near the points of interest. Message delivery systems that deliver messages whose contents are related to geographic points of interest are highly valued by travelers. Generally, as a traveler moves past a point of interest covered by such a message delivery system, the system delivers, performs, displays, announces, or otherwise conveys a message to the traveler. Desirably, this message imparts information that describes or otherwise relates to the point of interest being passed. In a primitive form of such a message delivery system, travelers view a sign that informs them to tune their radios to a particular channel or frequency where they may receive a recorded message. Typically, the range of the station delivering the message is either undesirably large or undesirably small. When the range is too large, precise matching of message delivery to the geographic point of interest is difficult. The message may be received even when the traveler is nowhere near the point of interest. Messages are typically repeated one or more times as the traveler moves through the range of reception. The repetition of messages is particularly annoying to a traveler because a traveler in an unfamiliar area may otherwise be nearly overwhelmed with new information. In addition, only a limited number of messages may be delivered for a given geographic area. When the range is too small, radio reception is typically poor even when the traveler is precisely at the point of interest. When the traveler moves through this small range, an entire message may not get delivered while the traveler's radio is within range. In either case, a message is often delivered starting somewhere in the middle of the message rather than at a beginning of a message. In a typical scenario, the traveler first experiences a message from middle to end, then waits for the message to repeat. If the delivery range is sufficiently large and if the traveler waits long enough, he or she then experiences the message from beginning to middle, at which point the message repeats for the traveler. Starting message delivery in the middle is undesirable because it is more difficult for a traveler to understand the ending parts of a message when the beginning parts have not yet been delivered. Attempts have been made to improve upon such primitive systems. However, such attempts typically cause other serious problems. For example, systems have been designed to broadcast message index codes which are evaluated by special purpose receivers. Each receiver has a repertoire of stored messages, and each receiver delivers the message from the repertoire that corresponds to the received index. This message may be delivered from beginning to end. However, this special purpose receiver is inflexible for message changes and is difficult to customize for areas having a dense distribution of points of interest. Typically, drivers of vehicles equipped with such special purpose radios must be extensively involved in tuning radios and in insuring that the radios remain programmed with a current repertoire of messages. Moreover, conventional message delivery systems fail to provide an implementation that is well suited for public transportation. Systems that require vehicle drivers to tune a radio to specific stations are not suited for public transportation. Driver cooperation is an essential element of successful message delivery, and the drivers are typically uninterested in receiving the messages. In addition, travelers in public transportation, such as tourists who may have arrived in a particular city by aircraft, may be disoriented as to north, south, east, and west absolute directions. Conventional message delivery systems do not impart relative directional information, such as right and left, to such disoriented travelers. Thus, conventional message delivery systems do not adequately provide a message content that distinguishes geographic points of interest on one side of a road from those on another. Accordingly, it is an advantage of the present invention that an improved message delivery system and method are provided. Another advantage of the present invention is that a flexible message delivery system which accommodates rapid and frequent message content changes is provided. Another advantage is that the present invention is sufficiently flexible to be customized for a wide variety of areas having a high density of points of interest. Another advantage is that the present invention provides a message delivery system in which messages are delivered in their entirety from beginning to end. Another advantage is that the present invention provides a message delivery system in which messages are delivered without repetition. Another advantage is that the present invention provides messages whose content may refer to geographic points of interest using left and right directional references. Another advantage is that the present invention provides a message delivery system that may be located in public transportation and other vehicles and that does not rely upon driver involvement. Another advantage is that the present invention provides a message delivery system having a simple, robust design that may be implemented at modest expense. The above and other advantages of the present invention are carried out in one form by a method for distributing messages through a mobile unit. The method calls for obtaining a location for the mobile unit. A message identity is determined in response to this location. A message corresponding to the message identity is then delivered. The above and other advantages of the present invention are carried out in another form by a method for distributing messages through mobile units which calls for receiving, at a mobile unit, a radio communication that conveys a message. A beginning of the message is detected, and a delivery system is activated in response to the beginning of the message. The delivery system is used to deliver the message. An end of the message is detected, and the delivery system in deactivated in response to the end of the message. FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of a message procedure performed by the mobile unit. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a geographic area 10 covered by a message delivery system 12. Area 10 has a network of roads 14 and any number of points of interest 16. System 12 includes a control station 18 and any number of mobile units 20. Control station 18 broadcasts radio frequency communications which may be received throughout area 10. Mobile units 20 can freely move about within area 10 and elsewhere. In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, mobile units 20 are configured to obtain data that describe their current locations. Such data may be obtained by receiving signals from a location determination system 22, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), Loran, or the like. Through system 12, messages are delivered from mobile units 20. System 12 may deliver a variety of messages having diverse contents. Specific messages are delivered at specific locations within area 10. Desirably, the content of each message relates to the location within area 10 from where the message is delivered. System 12 may be adapted to a wide variety of areas 10. The preferred embodiments of system 12 are desirably adapted for use in connection with a city that may be favored by a large number of tourists. Thus, public transportation is likely to be readily available, numerous businesses and other enterprises vie for tourist attention, and tourists desire information which describes area 10 and its points of interest 16. However, system 12 is versatile and may be adapted to other types of areas 10. Likewise, the present invention places no requirements on what points of interest 16 are. In the preferred embodiments, points of interest 16 are typically businesses, such as hotels, resorts, casinos, shopping centers, restaurants, museums, sports facilities, and the like, that vie for tourist business or have a specific message to give patrons, customers, visitors, and the like. Thus, the messages that system 12 delivers may be business advertisements that are presented when mobile units 20 are near the businesses. However, the present invention is not limited to just these points of interest 16 or messages. For example, points of interest 16 may have civic, historical, or public service importance, and the messages may simply provide related information. Control station 18 broadcasts the messages in real time and manages the programming of mobile units 20. Control station 18 may be located anywhere, but preferably has transmitter antennas positioned so that the transmission range includes all points of interest 16 addressed by system 12. Control station 18 is discussed below in more detail in connection with FIGS. 2-4. In the preferred embodiments, mobile units 20 are installed in conventional public transportation vehicles, such as taxi cabs, buses, trolleys, limousines, shuttle vans, and the like. But, this is not a requirement of the present invention. Mobile units 20 are configured to determine their locations, to selectively receive the messages transmitted by control station 18, to selectively deliver these messages from beginning to end without repetition, at least within a predetermined interval, and to alter their programming in response to over-the-air instructions received from control station 18. Mobile units are discussed in more detail below in connection with FIGS. 5-8. Que points 24 are identified for use by system 12 on a point by point basis. Que points 24 represent locations within area 10 which, when passed by mobile units 20, queue the delivery of messages. Thus, que points 24 correspond to points of interest 16. Each point of interest 16 is associated with at least one que point 24. In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, que points 24 represent location data only. System 12 requires no devices to be positioned at que points 24 or their corresponding points of interest 16. Thus, system 12 does not suffer the complexity associated with obtaining permission to locate devices at or near que points 24, installing devices at or near que points 24, or providing power to such devices. Rather, system 12 only needs information describing the locations of que points 24. Desirably, que points 24 are defined to slightly precede the corresponding point of interest 16 when a mobile unit 20 travels in a particular direction. If a mobile unit 20 traveling in the opposite direction passes a que point 24, the corresponding point of interest 16 is not upcoming but has already been passed. Since the corresponding point of interest 16 follows the que point 24 when traveling in the particular direction, a relative direction, such as left or right, to the point of interest 16 is indicated. In other words, when a mobile unit 20 passes a que point 24, if the corresponding point of interest 16 lies ahead of the mobile unit 20, it will lie in a known relative direction, either left or right, of the particular direction of travel for the mobile unit 20. Thus, a message delivered in relation to this point of interest 16 may refer to the point of interest 16 using a relative directional term, such as left or right. The use of relative directional terms, such as left and right, in messages is a desirable feature. A directional reference in a message focuses a traveler's attention on the precise point of interest 16 to which a message may relate. This enhances the impact that a given message may have upon the traveler. Moreover, in tourist applications, tourists are often directionally disoriented due to unfamiliar surroundings, aircraft travel, and other factors. The use of absolute directional references, such as north, south, east, and west, would be inappropriate and even frustrating because a vast number of tourists to whom the messages are directed would not know to where such absolute directions are referring. It is the positioning of que points 24 prior to corresponding points of interest 16 that allows the present invention to deliver messages which use such relative directional references. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a control station 18. Control station 18 includes a controller 26, which may represent a conventional computer. Controller 26 includes or couples to a data entry section 28 through which data are entered into controller 26. The locations of que points 24 (see FIG. 1) and unique identity codes associated with the messages represent two types of data which are entered through data entry section 28. In addition, an audio recorder 30 couples to controller 26, and a microphone 32 couples to audio recorder 30. Controller 26 also couples to any number of audio players 34, and audio players 34 couple to their own transmitters 36. Each transmitter 36 couples to its own antenna 38, or alternatively, outputs from each transmitter 36 may be combined (not shown) for broadcast from a common antenna 38. The messages delivered by system 12 are recorded through microphone 32 by audio recorder 30. No restrictions are placed upon the content of the messages. However, as discussed above the messages desirably refer to points of interest 16 (see FIG. 1), and they desirably use relative directional terms, such as left and right. In various modes of operation permitted by control station 18, different messages may be delivered in different types of vehicles for the same points of interest 16. In addition, different messages may be delivered for the various points of interest 16 when approached from different directions. These messages are formatted through controller 26 and combined into packets or communications which are played at audio players 34 and broadcast from antennas 38 in accordance with a schedule that is managed by controller 26. While FIG. 2 illustrates the use of audio players 34 for clarity, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the messages and the communications which convey the messages may alternatively be stored in an entirely digital form within controller 26. In the preferred embodiments, each transmitter 36 is configured to broadcast on different radio frequency channels. These channels are desirably, but not necessarily, located in the UHF band. The communications, which include messages, are simultaneously broadcast through these channels. In addition, various messages may be arranged sequentially so that a particular channel may broadcast a few different messages in sequence, then repeat the sequence. Control station 18 allows great flexibility in the delivery of messages. No limits are placed upon the number of messages, the duration of messages, or upon the number of simultaneously operating channels. Each message can have a different duration. Moreover, the message content can change instantly. For example, nothing prevents entire sets of messages delivered by system 12 from changing in accordance with the time of day. This mode of operation may be desirable, for example, to deliver longer messages during a rush hour when mobile units 20 typically move more slowly and shorter messages at other times when mobile units 20 typically move faster. FIG. 3 shows a data format diagram for two typical message communications 40 sequentially broadcast in a single channel by control station 18. Controller 26 (see FIG. 2) formats and schedules the communications 40. As discussed above, other message communications 40 may be simultaneously transmitted in other channels. Each message communication 40 desirably includes a beginning data code 42 that serves two roles. Data code 42, and other data transmitted from control station 18, may be encoded for transmission in any conventional manner. For example, data code 42 may be encoded using conventional paging signals, MODEM tones, DTMF tones, and the like. In one role, data code 42 conveys a message identity that serves as an index for a message 44 being delivered by the communication 40. Desirably, data code 42 uniquely identifies message 44 within the set of all messages delivered by system 12. However, in alternative embodiments, data code 42 taken together with an identity for the channel over which the message 44 is being transmitted, may form a unique identifier. In another role, data code 42 serves as an indicator for the beginning of message 44. Message 44 begins at the end of data code 42. Thus, as soon as a mobile unit 20 (see FIG. 1) detects a data code 42, it may activate a message delivery system to enable delivery of the message 44 starting at the beginning of the message. Message 44 is desirably a conventional audio signal that is transmitted in real time. In other words, a mobile unit 20 (see FIG. 1) may annunciate message 44 throughout the duration of message 44 within communication 40. This delivers message 44 in its entirety from beginning to end. In one embodiment, an end of message code 46 represents a sub-audible, low frequency tone that control station 18 (see FIG. 2) broadcasts simultaneously with message 44. For the most part, code 46 is not heard by a traveller listening to message 44. When end of message code 46 ceases, a mobile unit 20 (see FIG. 1) may conclude that the end of message 44 has occurred and deactivate its delivery system to prevent repetition and/or the delivery of inappropriate messages. In an alternate embodiment, an end of message code 46' represents a data code that follows message 44. When a mobile unit 20 detects an end of message code 46', the mobile unit 20 may conclude that the end of message 44 has occurred. Although FIG. 3 depicts both end of message codes 46 and 46', system 12 desirably uses only one. FIG. 4 shows a data format diagram for a programming communication 48 broadcast in any channel by control station 18 (see FIG. 2). Controller 26 (see FIG. 2) formats and schedules the communications 48. Communications 48 may be broadcast at any time when it is advantageous for the operation of system 12. Communication 48 is a data communication that does not convey a message. As shown in FIG. 4, communication 48 may include a preamble 50, followed by a target address 52. Target address 52 identifies a mobile unit 20 or a class of mobile units 20 to which the programming communication 48 is directed. For example, target address 52 may specify a unique, individual mobile unit ID. Alternatively, target addresses 52 may specify one of various classes of mobile units 20. Such classes may, for example, distinguish bus mobile units 20 from cab or limousine mobile units 20. In addition, one class may refer to all mobile units 20. A length code 54 may follow target address 52. Length code 54 may specify the length of communication 48 so that mobile units 20 can identify the end of communication 48. Next, communication 48 includes various sets of addresses 56 and related data 58. Addresses 56 specify where in a memory of mobile unit 20 the related data 58 are to be stored. Finally, communication 48 conveys an error detection/correction code, such as a CRC code 60. CRC code 60 can be used by mobile units 20 to verify that communication 48 was accurately received. FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of a mobile unit 20 used in system 12 (see FIG. 1). In the preferred embodiments, all mobile units 20 are configured in substantially the same way. Thus, the below-presented discussion related to a single mobile unit 20 also relates to all mobile units 20 within system 12. As discussed above, system 12 may include any number of mobile units 20, and mobile units 20 are desirably mounted in vehicles that are free to roam throughout area 10 and elsewhere. Mobile unit 20 includes a location system receiver 62 that is compatible with location determination system 22 (see FIG. 1). In the preferred embodiments, location system receiver 62 is a GPS receiver which generates location data in latitude and longitude form. Location system receiver 62 couples to a mobile unit controller 64, and particularly to an input/output (I/O) section 66 of controller 64. Controller 64 additionally includes a microprocessor 68 which couples to I/O section 66, to a memory 70, to a timer 72, and to a data decoder 74. I/O section 66 of controller 64 additionally couples to a data input of an electronically tunable receiver 76 and to a control input of an audio amplifier 78. Receiver 76 has an audio output that couples to data decoder 74 of controller 64 and to an audio input of audio amplifier 78. An output of audio amplifier 78 couples to a loudspeaker 80. Controller 64 uses its timer 72 to help keep track of real time and to maintain the current time. Memory 70 includes data which serve as instructions to microprocessor 68 and which, when executed by microprocessor 68, cause mobile unit 20 to carry out procedures which are discussed below. In addition, memory 70 includes variables, tables, and databases that are manipulated in accordance with the operation of mobile unit 20. Receiver 76 is compatible with the communication channels over which control station 18 (see FIGS. 1-2) broadcasts. The particular channel to which receiver 76 is tuned at any instant is controlled through data supplied from controller 64 under the influence of programming instructions. Receiver 76 receives communications 40 (see FIG. 3) and 48 (see FIG. 4) transmitted by control station 18, and provides audio baseband signals corresponding to these communications. Data decoder 74 of controller 64 detects the various data codes which may be present in various parts of these communications, and provides such data codes to microprocessor 68. In addition, the baseband audio signal is routed to audio amplifier 78 where it is amplified to drive loudspeaker 80. However, the amplification performed by amplifier 78 is enabled by data from I/O section 66. Such control data activates or deactivates amplifier 78 so that loudspeaker 80 produces sound only when activated. In the presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, the messages delivered by system 12 (see FIG. 1) are audio messages. Thus, audio amplifier 78 serves the role of a delivery system for mobile unit 20. However, in other embodiments, messages may be visual text messages annunciated at a display or video messages presented at a monitor. In such embodiments, the mobile unit's delivery system may be an appropriate display, video monitor, or the like. FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of a programming procedure 82 performed by mobile unit 20. Generally, procedure 82 is performed to obtain programming data from control station 18 (see FIGS. 1-2) and to program mobile unit 20 in accordance with the programming data. Procedure 82 may be performed in accordance with a predetermined schedule, such as from 3:00-3:15 AM every day, and the timing parameters of this schedule may themselves be the subject of over the air programming. Alternatively, procedure 82 may be continuously performed in a background mode so that programming may take place at any time for any reason. Procedure 82 performs a task 84 to monitor data codes being received by receiver 76 (see FIG. 5). In particular, task 84 causes microprocessor 68 (see FIG. 5) to monitor data decoder 74 (see FIG. 5). No tuning of receiver 76 is performed, and task 84 monitors the channel to which receiver 76 is currently tuned. However, if procedure 82 is performed on a schedule, receiver 76 may be instructed to tune to a specified channel (not shown). Next, a query task 86 determines whether a received data code indicates the reception of a programming communication 48 (see FIG. 4). A communication 48 may be identified when preamble 50 (see FIG. 4) is detected. When no programming communication 48 is detected, program control loops back to task 84. Program control remains in a programming loop that includes tasks 84 and 86 until a programming communication 48 is detected at task 86. However, if procedure 82 is being performed on a schedule, a test (not shown) may be included to break the loop at a specified time. When task 86 detects a programming communication 48, a query task 88 evaluates the target address 52 (see FIG. 4) of the communication 48 to determine if it corresponds to the particular mobile unit 20 performing task 88. As discussed above, target address 52 may correspond to the mobile unit 20 by specifying the mobile unit's unique ID, or a class to which the mobile unit 20 has been assigned. Such ID and class assignment may be set forth through appropriate programming of memory 70 (see FIG. 5). When task 88 fails to detect correspondence with target address 52, program control loops back to task 84. No programming of the mobile unit 20 will occur. However, when task 88 detects correspondence with target address 52, a task 90 collects all addresses 56 and data 58 from communication 48 (see FIG. 4) and stores them in a temporary buffer in memory 70 (see FIG. 5). After task 90, a query task 92 obtains and verifies CRC code 60 (see FIG. 4) from message 48. If CRC does not verify, the programming communication 48 is assumed to have been received inaccurately, and program control loops back to task 84. No programming of the mobile unit 20 occurs. When task 92 verifies CRC, a task 94 updates old programming in memory 70 (see FIG. 5) of mobile unit 20. After task 94, program control loops back to task 84. In order to enhance the likelihood that mobile unit 20 receives accurate programming, control station 18 may desirably repeat programming communications 48. Then, after several repetitions system 12 may conclude that, to a high degree of confidence, the affected mobile units 20 have been programmed. If a mobile unit 20 fails to accurately receive a first repetition of a programming communication 48, it may receive a subsequent one. FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of a map structure 96 maintained in memory 70 of mobile unit 20. Map 96 is presented in the form of a table. Map 96 is shown because it is likely to be reprogrammed through programming communications 48 (see FIG. 4) from time to time through the normal operation of system 12 (see FIG. 1). However other items, such as an internal clock, various timing variables, and programming instructions may be reprogrammed as well. Map 96 includes a list 98 of que points 24 (see FIG. 1). The que points 24 included in map 96 are the locations, expressed for example in latitude and longitude form, of the que points 24 to which mobile unit 20 will respond by delivering a message. Nothing requires all que points 24 recognized by system 12 to be included in list 98. Table 96 also associates various other items of delta with each que point 24 included in list 98. For example, each que point 24 in list 98 has a channel number 100, and a message identity 102 associated therewith. Channel number 100 identifies a channel to which receiver 76 (see FIG. 5) may be tuned to receive a message for a point of interest 16 (see FIG. 1) that corresponds to the que point 24. Message identity 102 specifies the message which relates to the point of interest 16. Thus, if several messages are being sequentially broadcast over the identified channel, the message identity 102 defines which of the several messages relates to a que point 24. Nothing requires all mobile units 20 to have identical message identities or channel numbers specified for like que points 24. In addition, table 96 includes various exceptions 104 in association with the que points 24 included in list 98. Exceptions 104 are data that correspond to previously delivered messages. Such data may describe the previous message identity or que point 24. Exceptions 104 are used by mobile unit 20 to prevent the delivery of inappropriate messages. As discussed above, que points 24 are located before a corresponding point of interest 16 when a mobile unit 20 travels in a specified direction. However, when the mobile unit 20 travels in the opposite direction, the corresponding point of interest has already been passed when the que point 24 is encountered. The delivery of messages related to such passed, rather than upcoming, points of interest may be considered inappropriate. As discussed above, by limiting messages to upcoming points of interest 16, message content may refer to a point of interest 16 through a relative direction, such as left or right. A special case exception that may be handled through table 96 or through special programming instructions relates to the same que point 24. If the que point 24 included in list 98 is duplicated in the associated exceptions 104, then the immediate repeated delivery of messages may be prevented. Repetitions of messages may otherwise occur if a mobile unit is stuck in traffic near a que point 24. FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of a message procedure 106 performed by mobile unit 20. Generally, procedure 106 is performed in a foreground mode to detect when que points 24 (see FIG. 1) are encountered and to deliver the messages associated with the que points 24. Procedure 106 performs a task 108 to obtain a current location for mobile unit 20. The location may be obtained from location system receiver 62 (see FIG. 5) and may be in latitude and longitude form. After task 108, a query task 110 evaluates this location to determine if it corresponds to a que point 24 included in list 98 of table 96 (see FIG. 7). Task 110 may repetitively perform a distancing calculation between the location obtained in task 108 and the que points from list 98 until either a corresponding que point 24 is discovered in list 98 or until all que points 24 in list 98 have been evaluated. This distancing calculation may, for example, determine whether the location obtained above in task 108 is within 100-200 feet of a que point 24. If task 110 determines that no que point 24 in list 98 corresponds to the current location for mobile unit 20, program control loops back to task 108. As indicated at a block 112, mobile unit 20 refrains from delivering any message for the current location. If task 110 finds correspondence between a que point 24 and the current location, a query task 114 determines whether an exception is indicated for the identified que point 24. An exception may be determined by consulting the que point list 98 and/or exceptions 104 (see FIG. 7) associated with the identified que point 24 and comparing the exceptions with data that identify a previously delivered message. As discussed above, an exception is programmed to prevent delivery of a message. Such exceptions may occur when travel in a direction opposing message orientation occurs or when a message is being repeated. If an exception is detected, program control loops back to task 108. As indicated at block 112, delivery of repeat and other inappropriate messages is prevented. When task 114 determines that no exception is indicated, a task 116 examines the record of table 96 (see FIG. 7) that has been selected in response to current mobile unit location and identifies the communication channel 100 (see FIG. 7) and message identity 102 (see FIG. 7) associated with the current que point 24. In addition, task 116 tunes radio receiver 76 (see FIG. 5) to the indicated channel. After task 116, a task 118 then monitors beginning of message ID codes 42 (see FIG. 3) received on the channel to which receiver 76 has been tuned. Task 118 monitors the message ID codes 42 by evaluating data decoder 74 (see FIG. 5). Next, a query task 120 determines whether the last received message ID code 42 matches the message identity 102 (see FIG. 7) obtained above in task 116. When task 120 fails to find a match, program control loops back to task 118. As indicated at a block 122, mobile unit 20 refrains from delivering any message. Program control remains in a loop including tasks 118 and 120 until a received beginning of message ID code 42 matches the message identity 102. However, a time out test (not shown) may be included to break the loop should a match not be found within a predetermined period of time. When a match is detected at task 120, a task 124 activates the message delivery system provided by audio amplifier 78 (see FIG. 5). After task 124, message 44 (see FIG. 3) will be delivered. Concurrent with the delivery of message 44, a task 128 continues to monitor message communication 40 (see FIG. 3) for end of message code 46 or 46' (see FIG. 3). A query task 130 determines whether an end of message has occurred. As discussed above, end of message code 46 represents a sub-audible tone communicated during message 40. The removal or absence of end of message code 46 signals the end of message 40. End of message code 46' represents a digital code that follows message 40. The detection of end of message code 46' signals the end of message 40. If no end of message is detected, program control loops back to task 128. However, when an embodiment using end of message code 46' is implemented, a time out test (not shown) may be included to break the loop should no end of message code 46' be detected within a predetermined period of time. When task 130 detects the end of message 40, a task 132 deactivates the message delivery system provided by audio amplifier 78 (see FIG. 5). The deactivation of the message delivery system prevents any message from being delivered until the message delivery system is re-activated. After task 132, a task 134 saves, in memory 70 (see FIG. 5), data describing the message just delivered. These data may convey a message identity 102 (see FIG. 7), que point list 98 (see FIG. 7) or other identifying data. These data are evaluated in task 112, discussed above. In one embodiment of the present invention, a watch dog alarm timer may be set (not shown) whenever task 134 is performed. If this watch dog alarm timer expires, other programming (not shown) clears the data written during task 134. The result of this feature is that a que point 24 that might have been considered an exception, such as for a repeat message or a wrong orientation message, will not be considered an exception at task 112 if a sufficient amount of time has passed since the previous message delivery. After task 134, a task 136 tunes radio receiver 76 (see FIG. 5) to a predetermined "home" channel. Thus, receivers 76 are tuned to their home channels except when they are listening for or delivering a specific message. This allows control station 18 (see FIGS. 1-2) to broadcast programming communications 48 (see FIG. 4) on only the home channel and still have a high probability of successfully reprogramming mobile units 20. After task 136, programming control loops back to task 108 to monitor the current locations of mobile unit 20 for other que points 24. In summary, the present invention provides an improved message delivery system and method. The message delivery system of the present invention is sufficiently flexible to adapt to a wide variety of areas and situations and to accommodate rapid and frequent changes in programming and message content. In accordance with the present invention, messages are presented in their entirety from beginning to end without repetition. Message content may refer to geographic points of interest using left and right relative directional references. The message delivery system of the present invention may deliver messages in public transportation and other vehicles without reliance upon driver involvement. In addition, the above described preferred embodiments may be implemented with a relatively simple, robust design at modest expense. The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes and modifications may be made in these preferred embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the above-described preferred embodiments relate to a system where radio coverage of an entire area is accomplished through transmitters located at a central site. However, those skilled in the art could devise an equivalent cellular system that distributes multiple low power cells throughout the area of coverage. Moreover, the above-described preferred embodiments relate to a system where que points are located to dictate left and right relative orientations. In alternate equivalent embodiments, the mobile unit could track location data provided by the location determination system to determine direction of travel and whether a left or right orientation is appropriate for any given que point. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the flow charts presented herein are intended to teach the present invention and that different techniques for implementing program flow that do not necessarily lend themselves to flowcharting may be devised. In particular, each task discussed herein may be interrupted to permit program flow to perform background or other tasks. In addition, the specific order of tasks may be changed, and the specific techniques used to implement the tasks may differ from system to system. These and other changes and modifications which are obvious to those skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. g) deactivating said message delivery system in response to said end of message code. e) refraining from performing said steps b) and c) when said location does not correspond to a que point. e) delivering a message corresponding to said message identity. e) delivering said current message, said current message corresponding to said message identity. said method additionally comprises the step of refraining from delivering said received message when said evaluating step determines that said received message identity code does not correspond to said message identity determined in said step b). c) delivering a message corresponding to said message identity. deactivating, in response to said end of said message, said delivery system. 10.

It's The Jolly Green Giant! Found these sitting in a field on my way to Yellowstone. They are just north of Border Junction hanging out in a field. Border Junction is right on the border of Idaho and Wyoming (where Hwy 89 and Hwy 30 split). This is as close as I could get to them without jumping a barbed wire fence.

Joe Orton, född 1 januari 1933 i Leicester, död 9 augusti 1967 i London, var en engelsk dramatiker och romanförfattare. Liv och verksamhet Han är känd för sina farser med svart humor och gränsöverskridande innehåll. Han började skriva pjäser i början av 1960-talet, slog igenom 1964 och var framträdande och högproduktiv fram till sin död tre år senare. Till hans mest kända verk hör Byte (1967) och Vad betjänten såg (uruppförd postumt 1969). Ortons privatliv speglas i hans verk. Han var homosexuell med många tillfälliga sexualförbindelser och hittade vid dessa på fiktiva namn och personligheter åt sig själv. Impulsivitet, drömlogik och ohämmad sexualitet är genomgående i hans pjäser. Litteraturkritikern C. W. Bigsby skrev om Ortons pjäser att i dem "är sexualitet aggression; det är subversion.

There is an apartment tower near the C-train line that is always dark at night. The lights never seem to go on, or if they do, they never do on the north face. The building never advertises any vacancies, and in fact almost never gives any outward signs of being inhabited at all. The building's front door is always locked, but the side door that opens onto a nearby alley opens with ease. Unfortunately, the room on the other side is shin-deep in blood. Close the door behind you and begin to ascend the stairs. Never Ever leave the staircase until you reach the top floor, no matter what you hear or see. The staircase itself is tall and long and steep,, and a steady stream of blood flows down it from the top. Once you reach the top of the stairs, you will see its source: A pulsating, bleeding tumour five feet across that has been nailed to the wall. Don't touch it, or it will release its spores. Instead, go through the door into the main hallway of the top floor. Do not let it close behind you. The walls of the top floor have been broken out and have been replaced with screens made of dried skin. If you touch it, it feels warm and moist, as though it were still alive. Some of the sheets have faces. At the center of this hall, you will find a man on a throne made of men holding awkward poses and contortions. He will smile at you, showing three rows of teeth, and offer you his hospitality. Do not accept. You do not want to stay in the tower like the rest of these poor souls. Instead, tell him you want to borrow a book. Carelessly, he'll throw whatever he's currently reading at you. It's entirely possible you'll be left with nothing but a wrinkled John Grisham, but for the most part, his reading material is far more interesting and esoteric. Bring whatever book he gives you to Eddie Decae, who will offer you something that isn't printed on human skin.

MAFS' Lizzie Sobinoff Finally Revealed The Truth About Her Rumoured 6 Figure Show Salary Married at First Sight's darling Lizzie Sobinoff was rumoured to have been paid $100, 000.00 to return to the show for the last season. The rumour shocked many as it's common knowledge now that contestants get a feeble $150 stipend a day for expenses. You might love me, you might hate me but uh, if you are denying that these earrings aren't anything but amazing, you tripping 😂 @apmmonaco @dxd.agency #apmmonaco #jewelry #jewellery #jewelryaddict A post shared by Lizzie Sobinoff (@lizalizzieelizabeth) on May 11, 2020 at 6:39pm PDT Ex-contestants Telv Williams and Nasser Sultan have both come out publicly criticising the amount offered and saying it doesn't cover personal expenses. Lizzie recently addressed these rumours on her Instagram Live Q & A. A fan asked her "Liz, can you dispel the rumours that you got paid on MAFS" and immediately both Seb and Lizzie exclaimed, obviously a little annoyed this was coming up. Lizzie goes on to say "There's no special privileges…none of that", which is in direct opposition to what Mishel had to say on the topic. Mishel Karen, who had an unfortunate run on the show, did an interview with WHO Magazine and said that Lizzie got a TONNE of special privileges. "She didn't do it like us. She did it in first-class while we did it in third class… No, the luggage area of the plane," she told the magazine. I wonder who's telling the truth?

Q: Asyncio - create_task blocks thread I'm trying to create a Python script that will receive messages from a websocket connection and every time it receives a new message, it needs to run an asyncio task in the background. In order to "simulate" this process, i made a blocking functio that starts counting with a while True statement. The expected output is that every time a new message is received from the ws connection, a new count starts, but in my case, as soon as i run the script, the count function will block the whole code. How can i solve this? Here is what i tried: import asyncio import websockets import json import time #this is the blocking function.. def counter(): count = 0 while True: print(count) count += 1 time.sleep(0.5) async def main(): while True: try: async with websockets.connect('MY-URL') as websocket: while True: msg = await asyncio.wait_for(websocket.recv(), 500) try: data = json.loads(msg) await loop.create_task(counter()) except Exception as e: print(e) except Exception as e: print(e) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(main()) A: You have two major problems here. Your first problem is, that you create an infinite loop in counter and than call it, when you try to pass it to create_task. This way create_task is never even called. The second obvious problem is, that you try to pass a method to create_task while it expects a coroutine. Define your counter method again as coroutine using async def and replace time.sleep with asyncio.sleep and I think it might work. As a general note: You cannot have blocking code in the same thread as your event loop. This means never ever use time.sleep in asynchronous code...

This is project uses last of the new Second Release Sale-a-Brations items, and it is fantastic. I have finally embraced the Rainbow Trend that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment, and, using one of the examples in the Second Release Leaflet as my inspiration, I have created a 4 x 4″ card. I hope you agree that this is not only cute, but really easy to put together. I have used pretty much the whole of the Brights Colour Family in this, so have listed the full Ink Pad Collection in the product list as getting the whole set, saves you 10%, and we always like to save money if we can. Other than the inks, there really aren't that many products needed; the Wink of Stella is of course optional, but a bit of glimmer is always good. I hope you like this project and will give it a go. If you need any of the p roducts and you are in the UK, I would love to earn your business. Everyone who orders with me gets a handmade card and gift at the beginning of the following month, plus, if you sue the Hostess Code you also get to share the Hostess Rewards, and lotsof other benefits along the way.

Review: QUEEN AFIA SCHWARZENEGGER HOSTS UNITED SHOWBIZ Mar 21, 2022 Entertainment As known, United Showbiz is an Entertainment show on the United television (Utv) every Saturday which begins at 9:00.p.m prompt and is always extended to midnight around 12. a.m. The host, Nana Ama Mcbrown has been away for some time and it's alleged she's on a medical break. So management has decided to bring different people from the industry to host the show. The various people who have hosted the show are Yvonne Nelson, John Dumelo, Fella Makafui, Mzbel, and Empress Gifty. Last week, Utv Ghana, made a post on Instagram with Queen Afia's picture on a flier for the United Showbiz program with the pundits, Mr. Beautiful, Amanda Jissih, Bro. Sammy, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo and Ola Michael. It was captioned, " You Asked, we listened ". As controversial as the comedienne, Afia, the show started controversially and ended as such. When it began, the actors and actresses discussed the problems they are facing and Amanda made it point-blank that the government is not making any efforts to help the entertainment (movie) industry so, therefore, they themselves should come together to find various solutions to their problems in order to be able to produce quality movies, series, funny videos, and skits for consumers. They went further to compare the industries in Ghana and Nigeria and they said that much more money is gained from Nigerian producers than Ghanaian ones. Bro. Sammy gave an instance that, upon going on set to work with Dr. LIKEE on a role, he was paid 40 ghc but because he has a good relationship with Likee he took it in good faith. They all laughed over it. Mr. Beautiful also addressed the issue he had with the movie producer, 'Phamous'. He said that they shot a movie together but when the movie was launched, his picture didn't appear on the flier and so on. National Problem ( Queen Afia) also chipped in that he, Phamous took a picture with her, and before she realized, he was communicating to the general public that he was on set with her. Afterward, they moved on to discuss the doings of Abena Korkor and everyone expressed their views. Afia said that if any woman allows what Abena says about their spouse to cause confusion in their relationship or marriage then that woman lacks wisdom. Bro. Sammy added that his wife conceived but had lots of complications so she was admitted to the hospital. While in the hospital, one of the guys he Bro. Sammy and his wife live with went and told his wife that he(Bro. Sammy) has brought in another woman. His wife also believed the guy and now there's confusion in the marriage. So Bro. Sammy said, "I can't ever have sex with my wife". However, Shatta Wale and their mother's issue was also raised. Afia made a statement that the mother of Shatta didn't bring him up well, she used herself as an example that despite her behavior none of her children has ever done anything bad even on social media because she trains them well even as a single parent. She also said that one time she visited her mum with her friend, Tracey Boakey and her friend gave her mum 2000 ghc but when they were about to set off her mum asked her for money again so Shatta should take care of his mum no matter what. Thereafter, the most anticipated topic came up, which was the death of Afia's father and the rising issues attached to the transition ceremony. She stated categorically that 'cancer' killed her father and according to her she knew her dad was going to die. The funeral was held in Kumasi, KNUST. Afia said for security reasons she employed a Military Band, therefore, denied over four different free bands. In one of the scenes at the funeral, we realized that she slapped a certain young man which she explains was because the guy assaulted her elderly sister by squeezing her arm to pick money from the ground. The guy said he was part of the band, meanwhile, he says he's not a soldier and the military band doesn't consist of civilians either. Afia said if the military police don't arrest the guy, she will sue them. Queen Afia ended the show by thanking the management of Utv and the show, viewers, and close friends who helped in her father's funeral arrangements like Tracey Boakye, Diamond Appiah, Bro. Sammy, Dr. Kwak Oteng, Prophet 1, Chairman Wontumi and many others. It was fun! Story By: Benedicta Twum (Playhaus Radio) Is Abena Korkor Sexually Deceptive?!

The field of Galactic astronomy has revolutionized astrophysics in the last twenty years. The discovery of the extended halo of the Milky Way composed of tidally shredded dwarf satellite galaxies and globular clusters gave rise to a rapidly developing approach of Galactic archeology, one of the major drivers for the next-generation wide area surveys such as LSST, of which JHU is an institutional member. Furthermore, the Milky Way offers an opportunity for detailed high-quality observations of the interstellar medium, star formation and exotic stellar behaviors. But perhaps none of the astronomical discoveries of the last 20 years has as profound impact on humanity as the discovery of exo-planets — planets around stars other than the Sun. JHU faculty members with primary interests in Galactic astronomy are Profs. David Neufeld, Kevin Schlaufman, Rosemary Wyse and Research Prof. Luciana Bianchi. Prof. Rosemary Wyse is one of the leaders of the RAVE survey and a world expert in Galactic archeology, conducting studies of the structure of our own Galaxy from both theoretical and observational perspective. Prof. Luciana Bianchi characterizes elusive components of the Milky Way stellar populations using optical and ultra-violet observations, including those by NASA's GALEX satellite. Her census of hot white dwarf stars, with over an order of magnitude increase from previous catalogs, provided new insight on their progenitors and their contribution to the chemical enrichment of the Milky Way Galaxy. Using optical and ultra-violet spectroscopic data, Prof. Bianchi derived new diagnostics of the surface chemistry of evolved stars. She also studies hot massive stars, which are the main driver of the dynamical and chemical evolution of galaxies. She used the Hubble Space Telescope as well as data from JHU-built FUSE satellite to measure physical parameters of such stars, finding that they were less hot and less luminous than previously thought. She also uses Hubble Space Telescope and GALEX to study star formation in external galaxies. This work is revealing star formation in sites where it was never expected or seen before, as well as providing insight into how young stellar populations form and evolve in different environments and conditions. Closer to home, we find that the interstellar medium of galaxies is often rich with molecular gas. In some circumstances, naturally-occurring masers can form, producing extremely bright and collimated beams of radiation. Prof. David Neufeld is an expert in all aspects of molecular astrophysics, and uses molecular diagnostics to elucidate the properties of astronomical systems from planets and comets to stellar atmospheres to molecular clouds. His research using SOFIA and Herschel observatories has resulted in discoveries of several new interstellar molecules which provide key information about the interstellar medium. Characterizing diffuse UV emission has long been a goal of Prof. Richard Henry's work. The last decade has seen an explosion of interest in the formation of planetary systems, now that we can detect hundreds of extra-Solar planets as well as conduct detailed studies of many of our own Solar System's planets through a variety of space experiments. A number of CAS astrophysicists are deeply involved in these efforts, developing new techniques for detecting extra-Solar Planets (Prof. Holland Ford), studying the atmospheres and magnetospheres of other planets in our Solar System (Prof. Warren Moos), and analyzing cometary spectra (Prof. Paul Feldman). Following up on these exciting developments, Prof. Colin Norman has organized an interdisciplinary program in astrobiology. Prof. Schlaufman is interested in exoplanets and planet formation as well as metal-poor stars and Milky Way formation. Most of his recent projects have used the architecture, orientation, and host star properties of exoplanets to explore the physics of planet formation. He's also leading the first all-sky search for the most ancient stars in the Galaxy, with a special focus on the bulge.

September 6th, 2013 saw a first in football history as the Grenadiers took on South Korea, a new frontier for the world's favorite sport. Played in Seoul, the match saw coach Antonio Israel Blake Cantero replaced by interim coach Pierre Roland Saint-Jean. Saint-Jean will coach until a newly appointed coach is selected by the FHF (Haitian Football Federation). Recently placing 74th on the most current ranking from FIFA, the Haitian team looked to best their rivals, coming in at 56 on the same list, in a friendly match to honor their first meet on the green of the Incheon Football Stadium. The game was made possible by the pulling out of the team from Iran, which dropped their scheduled game with South Korea early in the month of August. On the team for the game were the only three teammates playing at a national level, Jean Robert Jean (Valencia CF), Tempête FC's Charles Hérold Junior and Monuma Constant Junior from Racing Club Haïtien. Other members of the team included, goalkeepers: Gabart Fénelon, who plays for FC Saint-Léonard out of Canada and Johnny Placide, coming from RS Reims from France, midfielders: Jeff Louis (AS Nancy/France), Pascal Milien, from Sligo Rover, the Republic of Ireland, defenders: Kim Jaggy (FC Aarau/Switzerland), Kévin Pierre Lafrance of Widzew Lodz, Pologne and Jean Jacques Pierre out of France who plays for SM Caen, and forwards: Sony Nordé from the Bangladeshi Sheik Jamel Danmondi FC, Le Mans, France player Kervens Fils Belfort and Garry Ambroise (AFC Tubize/Belgique).

Ballerina In Red - Canvas Print Edgar Degas Art print #1331 Slim Black Matte [.75" WIDTH] Luxe Black [1.5" WIDTH] Classic Dark Wood Frame [1.25" WIDTH] Natural Wood Frame Mottled Gold Frame White Matte Frame Black Matte Frame [2" WIDTH] .75" WIDTH 1.5" WIDTH Edgar Degas, is his formative years as a young artist, came across a burgeoning group of likeminded artists Monet, Renoir, and Sisley. The group would go on to form the basis of the Impressionists, and together would change the face of western painting. Participating in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, Degas subsequently stood out as an urban, socially aware painter of the Impressionist style. Unlike his contemporaries his medium was the economic and cultural environment of Paris, its seedy underbelly, its savage social hierarchies, and most importantly, its dancers. Driven from the glare of natural light by a crippling eye condition, Degas turned to the gloomy interiors of rehearsal studios and ballet theatres to find a microcosm for the sickly condition of French life in the late nineteenth century. Known since as the 'painter of dancers' Degas' 1500-plus works depicting figures in movement were in fact predominantly drawn in pastels. The result is an otherworldly elegance and frozen reality that eloquently captures the visceral energy and fragility of these young dancers. Degas' "Ballerina In Red" is a savage critique of the miserable treatment of "The Dancers required to fill the halls of the luxury theatres of Paris' upper class. This iconic work is an example of the artist's documentary style, and his eagerness to give life and expression to the neglected protagonists of urban modernity. Drawn in dramatic chiaroscuro, "Ballerina In Red" is a dynamic indictment of modern alienation - preparing for the spotlight but destined for a lifetime in the shade of poverty.

Chick-fil-A Donates to SPLC, Anti-Christian Group linked to Shooter that Stormed Family Research Council anti-Christian discrimination Bill Miller BBQ Christian charities corporate purpose Dan Cathy Floyd Corkins Southern Povery Law Center Tony Perkins Truett Cathy CHQ Staff | 12/2/19 Tax reports have now exposed Chick-fil-A for funding the anti-Christian Southern Poverty Law Center; an organization linked in federal court to domestic terrorism after their smear campaign of Christian organizations resulted in a shooting in which the gunman planned to smear Chick-fil-A sandwiches in the faces of his victims. Chick-Fil-A Orders Values to Go Guest column by Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council | 11/26/19 Chick-fil-A made a conscious choice to draw attention to this very public divorce from two Bible-believing charities. And then, in a calculated move, announced its support was going to an organization that, on its website, openly and proudly supports everything about the LGBT community. Chick-fil-A ends support to Salvation Army after bullying by left anti-Christian bias Tammy Bruce, Washington Times What was compelling about the Chick-fil-A story was that it reminded people that efforts to punish Christians in particular would not succeed if people of all stripes rejected that craven effort. It didn't require you to agree with the position of an executive about traditional marriage, it didn't require you to be a Christian, and it wasn't even about your politics. People appreciated the opportunity to publicly reject the all-too-familiar strategy of the left to destroy anything that does not conform to their narratives or agendas. The organiation caved and it won't be the same. Now just another chicken place, it may be staying closed on Sundays, but for many, Chick-fil-A will be considered closed seven days a week. How to Disunite America Ben Shapiro, CNS News When the cultural left can't achieve what it wants through public mobilization, it simply uses the power of government to blackmail those it dislikes. Our First Amendment culture is endangered when local governments are given the capacity to block businesses from operating, not on the basis of business discrimination but on the viewpoint of the company's founders alone. That's precisely what's happening here. Politics has invaded everything from education to sports, from movies to fashion. Should politics now determine where we buy a chicken sandwich? A country that punishes restaurants because its founders don't openly celebrate same-sex marriage is a country destined to bifurcate. And that's pretty fowl. Chick-fil-A Destroys Its Brand George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 11/20/19 A brand is more than food and service, it is also what customers perceive about the corporate ethos. Chick-fil-A, with the announcement that it will no longer donate to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, has effectively destroyed the perception that it still adheres to founder S. Truett Cathy's Christ-centered corporate values. Chick-fil-A And NRA Prove Democrats Can Never Be Trusted With Power 2020 Democrats abortion clinics AG William Barr First Liberty Institute Operation Choke Point political discrimination Secretary Laine Chao Texas AG Ken Paxton George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 4/5/19 What's happened to Chick-fil-A and the NRA prove, there remains no protection except the ballot box to curtail the ability of Democrats to shut down arbitrarily whole classes of businesses they deem to be "politically incorrect." Banning Chick-fil-A is not only bigoted -- it's illegal Keisha Russell, Fox News Americans agree that tolerance and inclusion are necessary in our diverse and pluralistic society. The government sends a dangerous message when it threatens businesses owned by religious people because they (or the organizations to which they donate) may not hold the opinions that the government prefers. Neither Texans nor Chick-fil-a should stand for such intolerance and bigotry by the government. Anyone who stands for tolerance and equality should actively oppose the discriminatory action manifested by San Antonio City Council officials. Irrational Christophobes Attack Chick-fil-A Bill Donohue, CNS News The left has only one god: power. That is what defines it. To the extent that Chick-fil-A inspires people to adopt its values, it is a threat to radical secularists. Moreover, survey data have repeatedly shown that a very large portion of the "nones," those who answer "none" when asked about their religious affiliation, are on the left. They see Christian activists as a threat. Jews are too secular to begin with, and Muslims are too small to matter. So they focus on Christians. Ted Cruz Nails Mark Zuckerberg's Liberal Bias House Energy and Commerce Committee Senate Judiciary Committee unsafe to the community George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 4/11/18 When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed there was no political bias at Facebook Senator Cruz rattled off a laundry list of examples: A "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" page that was banned in 2012, around the time that homosexuals were organizing a boycott of the fast-food chain after its chief operating officer made comments against same-sex marriage. Diamond and Silk, the outspoken Trump fangirls who were told by Facebook that their "content and brand" were "unsafe to the community" were just two examples on the list. Remembering S. Truett Cathy – Founder of Chick-fil-A It's Better to Build Boys Than Mend Men S. Truett Cathy The Dwarf Grill The Dwarf House WinShape Foundation By George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 9/9/2014 To the thousands (perhaps millions) of Chick-fil-A employees and Christian seekers he touched through his business, his motivational books and speeches, and his Christian ministry he will ever be remember as "Mr. Cathy" a man who showed those who were prepared to listen that there was a power higher than the almighty dollar and next quarter's earnings statement. Chick-Fil-A Founder Dies Leon Stafford, Atlanta Journal-Constitution Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, a Southern icon for the company he created and for the religious principles that kept the chain's stores closed on Sundays, has died at 93. Thanks to Michelle O, Chick-fil-A Banned from School federal school nutrition standards Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network Socastee High School will no longer welcome Chick-fil-A food or sponsorship of their special education department thanks to Michelle Obama's school nutritional guidelines. Obama doesn't have a degree or even a certificate in nutrition. Chick-Fil-A Values Atlanta snow storm New York Post Editorial Staff Chick-Fil-A stores in the south put their Christian values on display by providing free food and shelter to stranded travelers. Why didn't they capitalize on being the only locally available food source? Because the company is based on taking care of people before profit. Take that, liberals.

Today marks a momentous day not only for CSA but for all IT and information security professionals as we release Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing 4.0, the first major update to the Guidance since 2011. As anyone involved in cloud security knows, the landscape we face today is a far cry from what was going on 10, even five, years ago. To keep pace with those changes almost every aspect of the Guidance was reworked. In fact, almost 80 percent of it was rewritten from the ground up, and domains were restructured to better reflect the current state of cloud computing, as well as the direction in which this critical sector is heading. For those unfamiliar with what is widely considered to be the definitive guide for cloud security, the Guidance acts as a practical, actionable roadmap for individuals and organizations looking to safely and securely adopt the cloud paradigm. This newest version includes significant content updates to address leading-edge cloud security practices and incorporates more of the various applications used in the security environment today. Software Defined Networks, the Software Defined Perimeter and cloud network security. The use of immutable, serverless, and "new" cloud architectures. Today is the culmination of more than a year of input and review from the CSA and information security communities. Guidance 4.0 was drafted using an open research model (a herculean effort for those unfamiliar with the process), and none of it would have been possible without the assistance of Securosis, whose research analysts oversaw the project. We owe them—and everyone involved—a tremendous thanks. You can learn more about the Guidance and read the updated version here.

KIEV, November 4. /TASS/. The list of Russian cultural figures banned from entering Ukraine includes nearly 140 people, Ukrainian State Security Service (SBU) said in an official statement published by Verkhovna Rada deputy Olga Chervakova. "Ukraine's State Security Service banned nearly 140 Russian cultural figures from entering the country, including 50 of them who have been banned from entering since 3 December 2015," the document, dated 29 October 2016, said. The document signed by SBU head Vasily Gritsak says that the ban was imposed because the activities and statements of Russian cultural figures contradict Ukraine's interests. "I hope this will shut down the discussion about complete idleness of special services in this matter, along with the discussion on the necessity of introducing draft laws in the parliament that will not change anything," Chervakova wrote on her Facebook page. Ukrainian Culture Ministry earlier published a list of 83 Russian and world cultural figures who Kiev authorities think present a threat to the country's national security. Among those on the "blacklist" are directors Karen Shakhnazarov and Pavel Lungin; musicians Alexander Rozenbaum, Sergey Penkin, Nikolay Rastorguyev; actors Vasily Lanovoy, Valentin Gaft, Oleg Tabakov, Valentina Talyzina, Valentina Telichkina, Natalya Varley; singers Lev Leschenko, Iosif Kobzon; and many others. Fred Durst, frontman of US band Limp Bizkit, and boxer Roy Jones Jr were also put on the list.

The table is a surface upon which my mother spreads the bounty of weekend trips driving an hour out of the way to a Vietnamese market that was unlike the clean brightly lit Safeway a few miles from our house or the 99 Ranch mega Asian Markets more common in Orange County these days. Often crowded, it was an assault on the senses. An alchemy of strange spices, assorted live or nearly so fish and pungent produce congealed under fluorescent lighting. The market most likely did not comply with Federal or State regulations pertaining to food safety. The table is the shortest distance to the backyard of my first family home. When we moved in, the yard was an overgrown jungle crawling with garter snakes. Mystery monsters lurked in the tall grass, until by some magic, my parents transformed it into organized clusters of cilantro, mint, thai basil, mustard greens, bumpy melons, and a sundry of exotic vegetables I have yet to identify in English. It is an intersection and a cross section. As a family, we do not agree on everything, but when we convene, it is almost always at a table over food, usually food that was prepared together in a small kitchen. The table is a rectangle of plywood stained with used coffee grinds sporting a hinged top allowing for the storage of plates and cloth napkins, and containers for micro-greens that begin to sprout within three days. The obsessive, an excuse to pick at seed shells, spritz away compulsively and snack. The table is an action, ongoing research into the practice and practicalities of food when one lives in a small apartment with little light and no yard. Anyone can construct a table and anyone can sit at a table and anyone is invited to sit at my table, but anyone who comes to sit at my table must bring something.

A native of Southern California, under the wishes of his grandmother who stressed the importance of keeping the traditions of Japan alive in America, he has traveled throughout the United States performing and introducing the art of Japanese classical dance at various venues. He attained his natori, equivalent to a Master's degree, at the age of seventeen, when Bandō Mitsugorō IX granted him the professional name of Hirohichirō. In addition to his career as a professional Japanese classical dancer, he is the first non-Japanese to become a professional Kabuki actor in the theater's history. He is apprenticed to National Living Treasure, Sakata Tōjūrō and performs under the name of Nakamura Gankyō. During his full-time career as a Kabuki actor, Hirohichirō was fortunate to enough to be trained by the leading headmasters of various Japanese classical dance schools in Japan, where he was introduced to different interpretations, styles, and evolving techniques of Japanese classical dance. In addition, to Kabuki acting and Japanese classical dance, Hirohichirō has been trained in a variety of traditional arts such as nagauta (singing and shamisen), koto, jiuta, tokiwazu, gidayū, narimono, sadō, kadō, wasai, shishū to only list a few. As part of Tōjūrō's vision of introducing the art of Kabuki to the world, Hirohichirō completed his Master's from the University of Southern California (2010) and his Ph.D from the University of California-Los Angeles (2019), specializing in Classical Japanese literature, culture, and the performing arts. He is a Fulbright Scholar (2013-2015) where he was a visiting scholar at Waseda University and Tokyo University. In addition of teaching courses in premodern and contemporary Japanese literature and cultures at the university, he has starred in numerous Hollywood productions, the most recent in Netflix's upcoming action film, Kate. To share his passion of Japanese classical dance to the future generations in the United States, Hirohichirō was granted his shihan, equivalent to Ph.D, by Mitsugorō X in 2007. Hirohichirō then founded Bandō Ryū Kyō no Kai (坂東流 京の会) in 2008 opening studios throughout California. Currently, Hirohichirō has students spanning the United States and in Japan. In supporting Hirohichirō's mission of introducing and educating future generations, Mitsugorō X bestowed upon Hirohichirō as one the official representative of Bandō Ryū to the United States.

Brian Mitsuhiro Wong Brian Mitsuhiro Wong, an American of Japanese and Chinese descent, won the "Grand Prix" award for achieving the highest scores on his teaching examinations from the Sawai Soukyokuin Koto Conservatory in Tokyo, Japan in July 2006, surpassing many Japanese native candidates. Brian was tested in vocal and instrumental performance, classical and contemporary koto works, shamisen, Japanese music theory and music history, sight reading, sight singing, and tuning accuracy. In December 2019, Brian became the second koto performer from outside of Japan to qualify as a contestant in the prestigious Kenjun Koto Competition in Kurume, Japan. (his mom was the first performer) Brian continues a brilliant legacy of koto performance in America that spans three generations, and has roots in the internment camps of World War II. His mother, Shirley Kazuyo Muramoto, also a koto teacher and musician, taught Brian how to play the koto from the age of 4. At the age of 16, Brian attended a concert Madame Kazue Sawai. Sawai Sensei's performance was dynamic and exciting. Brian was inspired by her performance, and decided to continue his studies at the Sawai Soukyokuin in Tokyo, Japan. In June 2007, Brian also earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition at California State University East Bay in Hayward, California. He has written works western and eastern instruments. Brian is also a jazz saxophonist. His musical mentors growing up were Khalil Shaheed and Ravi Abcarian, Dave Eshelman, Dann Zinn, Steve Parker, Michael Wirgler, Thom Kwaitkowski, his parents, grandparents and family friends. Brian has traveled to Montreux, Umbria and Vienne Jazz Festivals in Europe with CSUEB. He has taught koto classes at UC Berkeley, and is an active composer. Brian performed at Yoshi's Jazz Club with the Murasaki Ensemble, the CSUEB jazz ensembles, and with the Oaktown Jazz Workshop with Pete Escovedo. He has performed in concert with koto masters Kazue Sawai and Hikaru Sawai. Isabella Kazuai Lew Isabella Kazuai Lew, an American of Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino descent, began taking koto lessons with Shirley Kazuyo Muramoto in 2005 as part of an after-school koto class program at Montclair Elementary School in Oakland. Right from the start, Isabella was an exceptional koto student, picking up techniques and songs very quickly. She continued private lessons from Muramoto Sensei and performed at local concerts and community events, including recitals and various Cherry Blossom festivals. In 2014, Isabella was awarded funding from the ACTA Alliance for California Traditional Arts with her teacher. That same year with help from this funding, Isabella attained her Shihan teaching credentials from the Chikushi Kai Koto Conservatory in Fukuoka, Japan, and attained the professional name of "Kazuai". Although she does not speak much Japanese, she passed her tests with flying colors because music is the universal language. Isabella Kazuai's curriculum included training on classical as well as classical singing, traditional, contemporary, jazz and rock music on the koto. She has written her own arrangements for koto as well. In 2020, she started assisting Muramoto Sensei in teaching the Monday Koto Workshops being taught at the Oakland Buddhist Church until the shelter in place was ordered due to the corona virus. Through studying koto, Isabella has been able to learn much about Japanese culture and hopes to help preserve Japanese traditional arts for future generations to come. Isabella also graduated from Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo in 2019 with a degree in civil engineering. We are proud to be sponsored by:

A young child is fighting for her life after the tragic wreck Allie Martin, SHERMAN, Miss. (WCBI) – Three members of a family have died, and one is fighting for her life after their minivan was hit by a train in Sherman. The town of Sherman was holding its regularly scheduled court Monday evening when the call came in from 911. "We got the call of a traffic crash of car versus train, on arrival we found a single vehicle had been struck by the train," said Sherman Police Chief Joel Spellins. Inside the minivan, 51-year-old Robert Sheffield, his wife, 52-year-old Sharon Sheffield, and their 14-year-old son, Max Sheffield, died. Seven-year-old Elizabeth Sheffield was thrown from the vehicle on impact. She was airlifted to LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis. Spellins said the lights and bells at the railroad crossing were working. The crossing has no gates. "The vehicle had knocked down one of the railroad warning lights, it was gone but the one on the other side of the track was still going," said Spellins. The chief emphasized he doesn't know why the minivan didn't stop at the railroad crossing, but he encouraged all motorists to be extra cautious and aware this time of year. "Terrible tragedy to lose lives, want everyone to pay attention and get to where they need to go safely, everybody is so occupied with other things, hate to see the loss of life in stuff like this," he said. The crossing was also the site of a fatal car train wreck four years ago. The chief said the train had more than 100 empty grain cars and three engines.

The stunning extortion claims made by Amazon and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos against the Trump-friendly National Enquirer tabloid — have spotlighted a fierce behind-the-scenes media feud, taking place in an ever more toxic US political climate. The story recounted by Bezos — the world's richest man — touches on political intrigue, sexual indiscretion, the murder of a Saudi journalist and bitter charges of media bias. The supermarket tabloid last month reported Bezos had an extramarital affair with a former news anchor, publishing a trove of private text messages. The report appeared days after Bezos and his wife Mackenzie announced their divorce. That prompted Bezos to launch an investigation into the Enquirer, and how it was able to obtain such intimate material. American Media said in an emailed statement that it "believes fervently that it acted lawfully in the reporting of the story of Mr Bezos" and made "good faith negotiations" with the US billionaire but had decided nonetheless to "promptly and thoroughly investigate the claims" by the Amazon CEO. Bezos pointed out that Pecker recently entered into an immunity deal with federal prosecutors on his role in so-called "catch and kill" stories — in which reports are quashed by paying off sources — about Trump and his alleged mistresses. But Pecker and his Enquirer colleagues could face fresh criminal investigations based on the Bezos allegations, according to former federal prosecutor Jacob Frenkel. The allegations "easily could fall into possible violations of federal criminal statutes involving extortion or wire fraud," the attorney said. The case highlights a politically-tinged feud between the Post owner and the supermarket tabloid, with Bezos asserting that he would not be intimidated. Releasing the email exchanges, he said, shows "the precise details of their extortionate proposal: They will publish the personal photos unless Gavin de Becker and I make the specific false public statement to the press… And there's an associated threat: They'll keep the photos on hand and publish them in the future if we ever deviate from that lie." The disclosures are also likely to deepen the rift between Bezos and Trump, who claims that the tech entrepreneur is using the newspaper for his own purposes. Taking aim last month at Bezos, Trump alluded to Enquirer reporting of the billionaire's relationship with the former news anchor and entertainment reporter, Lauren Sanchez. "So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post," he tweeted.

Nezhat & the Rise of Advanced Operative Video-Laparoscopy Chapter 8. Desormeaux Antonin Jean Desormeaux – The First Successful Operative Endoscopic Procedures in Living Patients There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. The mid to late-19th century stands out as one of the world's most extravagant eras of innovative splendor, with breakthroughs in just about every discipline; the invention of the telegraph, advances in germ theory, Darwin's theory of evolution, Sir James Simpson's introduction of chloroform (anesthesia) in 1846, all were part of this time period's great discoveries. As for our emboldened endoscopic pioneers, this era was equally heady, with a rush of innovative vigor pouring forth from all directions. Leaving off from the sub-specialty of laryngoscopy, we flip a u-turn back out of the esophagus and return to the lower GI as the primary focus for the remainder of our historical survey. By this juncture, the pace was really picking up for endoscopy's development and no doubt this growing fervor awakened the imaginations of many minds. However, the French urologist, Antonin Jean Desormeaux, stood out as one of the most influential leaders, earning acclaim as one of the "fathers" of endoscopy. Desormeaux's most outstanding accomplishment is that he put operative endoscopy on the map by performing the world's first successful operative procedures using an endoscope [1]. Desormeaux is also credited with coining the word "l'endoscopie," a term he introduced, along with his revamped device, to the Academy of Science in Paris on July 20th, 1853. Though Desormeaux's innovations were not radical deviations from the design principles established by earlier pioneers, he is credited with constructing the first functional endoscope (what we would consider a cystoscope or urethroscope today [2]) which enabled the consistent and successful diagnosis of urethral and bladder diseases in living male patients. In many cases too, he was able to perform simple therapeutic operations endoscopically, some for the first time ever. Achieving such results marked a clear turning point, for up until this point in time the endoscope had proved to be of very limited clinical value. By refining the endoscope in subtle yet significant ways, Desormeaux was able to demonstrate not only its value as an effective diagnostic tool, but also demonstrated its promising therapeutic possibilities. In this way, Desormeaux helped to significantly transform surgical practices of his era and beyond. Of course, a change of this magnitude was no small task. Therefore, in order to gain a better understanding of just why Desormeaux represented such an important turning point in the story of endoscopy, let's review in detail the many formidable obstacles he overcame to bring to life his vision for endoscopy. Endoscopy's Great Transformation As with other innovators, many of Desormeaux's contributions were not necessarily the first of their kind. What made Desormeaux's unique was his ability to recognize just the right combination of adopted technologies needed to improve the endoscope. This point leads us to a detail in the historical record that should be addressed at the onset: Desormeaux is often credited as being the first to have used endoscopy on living patients. However, as previously noted, Bozzini was in fact the first documented to do so. Several others also succeeded in using their endoscopes diagnostically on living patients, such as Segalas, Cruise, possibly Avery, and many of the laryngoscopists already mentioned. The most crucial distinction here is that Desormeaux was able to perform the first known operative endoscopic procedure. This was only possible because of Desormeaux was able to achieve better visualization, which allowed him to become one of the few to successfully- and consistently - utilize the endoscope for therapeutic procedures; in other words, operative endoscopy. These therapies consisted of simple but effective operations, including cauterization with chemicals (e.g. silver nitrate), which could be applied through open slits in the shaft of the endoscope [3]. In this way, Desormeaux was able to treat diseases of the urethra, such as strictures and gonorrhea. In defining this category of the first ever-operative endoscopic procedure, we do make one key distinction here and exclude the various minimally invasive techniques used in lithotripsy, in which stones had been crushed or removed. Desormeaux's first operative endoscopic procedure– that of lysing of strictures in the urethra– is different because living tissue is removed. A Turning Point for Endoscopy: Desormeaux and True Visualization Some of the amazing firsts Desormeaux is credited with include the first ever endoscopic excision of a urethral papilloma, and one of the first endoscopically-assisted urethrotomies, circa 1865. In addition, our research indicates that Desormeaux did indeed become one of the few to actually endoscopically visualize and treat bladder stones, though this remains as part of the contested history [4]. Desormeaux demonstrated this ability by drawing up diagrams of the bladder neck, bladder mucosa, and bladder stones, all aided solely by peering into his scope. This is important because, prior to Desormeaux, many of the endoscopic therapeutic procedures actually were not always performed with full endoscopic visualization; in other words, many were performed semi or entirely blind. Though Desormeaux too was not always able to reach full visualization in all of his patients (or in all types of procedures), he nevertheless achieved more than any others had at this time as a result of his exceptional skill and development of improved techniques and technologies. Desormeaux's success in achieving such high quality visualization for his era not only demonstrated endoscopy's invaluable diagnostic role, but it also raised awareness about its potential therapeutic value. This transformation therefore marks another significant turning point for endoscopy. Finally, his textbook, De l'endoscope, was highly influential and helped to popularize endoscopy. Concerning the technical aspects, much of Desormeaux's endoscope was a compilation of technologies that already existed. In fact, several sources claim that Desormeaux derived his idea from the prior work of J.P. Bonnafont. As mentioned previously, Bonnafont's protests went unnoticed for the most part. Still others went so far as to say that Desormeaux's endoscope was essentially the lichleiter resurrected. Cruise, on the other hand, suggested that his idea had come from instead Segalas and Avery. Desormeaux apparently didn't take such suggestions lightly and in one known instance, countered his critics by calling into question the work of Avery in particular, whose attempts he described as "fruitless." Such contestations over priority may never be fully resolved. However, certain features of Desormeaux's instrument were commonly accepted as having roots in earlier works (which in any case does not diminish the validity of newer inventions). For instance, centrally bored concave mirrors - utilized also by Bozzini, Fisher, Segalas and others - had been an established lens technology available since the 17th century. And of course, the overarching design theme– that of long thin tubes connected to a light source to convey the illumination– had been a shared feature for essentially all endoscopic pioneers since Bozzini. The distinction then is one relating to subtle refinements that yielded substantial results. Desormeaux's improved light source is a prime example of this talent for optimizing existing technologies. It appears that Desormeaux was able to achieve better clinical results, mainly due to his incorporation of a new light source, as well as from subtle changes made to the angles of the lenses. Regarding the light source, he had been experimenting with various technologies, but settled upon the "gasogene" lamp, a mixture of four parts 96% alcohol with one part turpentine, which in turn was introduced to a burning flame. As a result of this unique mixture, the light generated was substantially brighter and at the same time more transparent than regular candlelight. This produced a more condensable beam of light that enhanced examinations. Desormeaux was also able to reconfigure the angles used in the lens system so that the light could be concentrated more precisely to one area. This involved changing the positioning of the lenses so that lateral reflection could be achieved. Through the combination of these insightful changes, Desormeaux was able to finally achieve consistently reliable clinical diagnoses. In fact, Desormeaux's endoscope was the basis for virtually all further designs that used reflected light until the next generation of pioneers arrived (such as Bruck, Trouve and Nitze) whose improvements were in part the result of newly available electrical technologies [5]. Desormeaux's contributions to the medical literature were also substantial. With his penchant for collecting precise and extensive clinical data, his publications proved to be seminal works. One of his most acclaimed, his book entitled Endoscopy and Its Applications in Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases of the Urethra and Bladder (Paris, 1865) ("De'Lendoscope et ses applications au diagnostic et au traitement des affections de l'urethre et de la vessie"), was said to have produced "great astonishment among the surgeons." Another important article, published in the journal The Chicago Medical Journal and entitled "Endoscope's usefulness in diagnosis and treatment of Urinary Affections" (1867), served to highlight Desormeaux's considerable progress in therapeutic procedures. Combined, these publications helped redirect the attention of the global medical community to the great potential residing within the world of endoscopy. Some Technical Flaws and Other Hindrances Despite such substantial innovations, Desormeaux, like so many pioneers before him, certainly had his share of critics. To begin with, some sources assert that Desormeaux achieved only moderate success, specifically in terms of visualization. One such adverse report claimed that when Desormeaux demonstrated his urethroscopy to German doctors, about "three or four out of the ten present" purportedly could see nothing. In this instance then, that translated to an error rate of approximately 30-40%. Of course, we cannot project our own modern perception onto these results; a 60% success rate was possibly the highest standard achieved at the time and therefore would be considered an extraordinary achievement. Whatever the case, a few similarly described criticisms were voiced by other physicians when Desormeaux's earlier devices were initially tested. Concerning the technical flaws, there were a number of drawbacks mentioned as well. The voluminous size has been singled-out as a particularly distracting feature. One source in fact asserted that Desormeaux's device had been considered "a clumsy monster," noting its weight as topping one kilogram and measuring 48 cm high, with a 12 cm rectoscope attachment (though nowadays of course rectoscopes are much longer). And while the brighter light was appreciated, it tended to produce a rather sooty, smoking residue. The required positioning of Desormeaux's endoscope also created some distinct hazards. Because the device had to be held between the legs of the patient, consequently there was always the danger of either burning the face of the physician or the thighs of the patient. In addition, without an effective catheter system, urine would often "extinguish the flame, ruining the examination." Summary – Desormeaux Despite these minor flaws, overall Desormeaux's work was instrumental in catapulting endoscopy to a greater developmental stage. Though his work was not necessarily the first or most original, Desormeaux was nevertheless able to refine existing endoscopes and adapt better technologies in order to bring to the world one of the most functional endoscopes of his era. Desormeaux's systematic collection of clear and indisputable clinical data of his experiments was also a significant contribution, one which no doubt influenced others to conduct similar high quality research. With respect to the four tasks hindering the endoscope, Desormeaux made considerable headway on multiple fronts. His development of an improved solution for the second task of illumination by using gasogene enabled more accurate clinical outcomes to be achieved. His publications were also highly influential and were said to have revived interest in the subject the world over. And it bears repeating that his vision of the endoscope as a therapeutic technology was quite ahead of his time. Overall, his genius was in demonstrating the enormous potential of endoscopy by establishing sound methods for others to follow. Ultimately of course, time becomes the true arbiter in matters such as these. In this respect, Desormeaux's endoscope did in fact stand the test of time. His design principles were displaced only after the next generations of innovators were gifted with the invention of Edison's electric bulb. 1. We make a distinction here and exclude the minimally invasive techniques used in lithotripsy, in which stones had been crushed or removed. Desormeaux's first operative endoscopic procedure– that of lysing of scrictures in the urethra– is different because this is living tissue that is removed. 2. Desormeaux's cystoscope is synonymous with today's hysteroscopy, a topic we will cover separately in the next chapter. 3. These same slits were a part of Bozzini's lichleiter as well. However, unlike Desormeaux, Bozzini was not able to use his device for procedures in living, male patients. 4. The well-respected history of Endoscopy by Reuter indicates that other procedures by Desormeaux were performed blindly, specifically the treatment of urethra scrictures. 5. Some of these referenced electrical technologies, such as galvanized platinum wires, were actually available during Desormeaux's time. However, at that time, they were considerably more complicated and therefore quite cumbersome for medical usage.

Subversion was kind of it for a few years - a sturdy wire protocol that Git and Mercurial could be push/pull to for introp outside their ecosystem. It is increasingly becoming Git now. Major tools vendors mast have Git in their "is compatible with" list. More esoteric things like SparkleShare push Git to a place outside of source-control, as does VersionRocket. Aiming at one wire-protocol makes things easy for those seeking allow choices, and those will come too. Two commercial SCM makers now speak Git on the wire, to their industrial strength back-ends: Perforce and PlasticSCM. They have a video for a forthcoming server release speaking Git to Atlassian's SourceTree client (soundless), but no documentation as yet. Perforce has had Git-Fusion for a while - it's a bridge that allows Git clients to push/pull to a traditional Perforce server. What's new this year is their GitSwarm, that makes a portal experience around a Git front end to Perforce's back-end. Increasingly package maintainers are targeting Git as the mechanism by which packages are maintained for platforms. That's OS X's Homebrew (which has sidelined Macports - Subversion and Fink - CVS). It is now also Arch Linux's AUR package manager and Gentoo's package manger too (both in the last 48 hours). Config-as-Code the Consul way, can be glued to Git as a backend via git2consul. Granted those are more normal usages of Git for sourccode managememt, but there are also non-mainstream usages of Git. For example, there are a dozen Git-backed wikis now Realms, Gitit, ikiwiki, Gollum, zim-wiki, Ewiki, Wi-wiki, G-wiki, Waliki, Melkor, Smeagol, Wigit. Who doesn't want to escape lock-in for extensive sets of wiki pages? Git is a fast moving target though, whereas Subversion was very slowly moving. sparse-clones - it already has sparse checkouts. go beyond the 1GB "safe clone size" limit. have an ACL/permissions design for branches, and subdirectories.

Aladdin Posts $2.5 Million Loss The Las Vegas Sun LAS VEGAS -- The Aladdin hotel-casino, citing soft table play in its casino, lost $2.5 million in August, according to a report it filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas Tuesday. The Aladdin, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection two years ago this month, had revenue of $20.7 million for the month and expenses of $22.7 million. The company also reported reorganization expenses totaling $500,243 for the month. In August 2002, the company reported a loss of $683,851 on revenue of $20.6 million, expenses of $20.7 million and reorganization expenses of $148,583. A spokeswoman for the company said that despite the loss, the company is continuing to show good cash flow, which was $3.8 million for the month. In July, the company reported cash flow of $4.6 million and in August 2002, it was $4.1 million. Tyri Squyres said the average daily hotel rate was $99.95 compared with $94.08 for the same month a year ago. For August 2003, the occupancy rate was 99.4 percent. Squyres said that although table play was off, slot machine play was strong at the Strip hotel-casino.

You may not realise this, but The Netherlands are quite a haven for those who care about their stomachs. Our sweets and cheeses are good, but did you know there's more to enjoy? The east of The Netherlands is famous for its game, while the province of Zeeland is the cradle of some of the best produce in the country. So it's no surprise that its capital Middelburg is quite the culinary gem. Oysters, mussels and fresh fish are a given when in Zeeland, so close to the sea. But the salty sea air has more in store as it is this air combined with the most hours of sun in the country that are the perfect ingredients for wine. Yes, Dutch (award-winning, I might add) wine, I bet you never thought of that. Add to that the many cheese farms and breweries and you just know you'll be in for a great culinary feast when visiting Middelburg in Zeeland. I grew up not too far from Middelburg, yet I never visited. But when I did, my my, was I in for a fantastic surprise. Middelburg was a hub for the Dutch East India trading company in the Dutch Golden Age, resulting in the city being a rich place where exotic spices, excellent wines and Port, silk and other trading goods were pretty common. This wealth is still pretty visible when wandering along the historical streets. I feel that the rich soil, the sea air, the oyster banks and mussel farms combined with a history of rich herbs and spices has resulted in restaurants in Middelburg being just that bit more adventurous while at the same time celebrating what's close to home. During my weekend break in Middelburg, I feasted myself, a couple of times over and was able to extract my 10 favourite cafés and restaurants in Middelburg. Go on and try them. The perfect place to kickstart your day with coffee and breakfast or go for a well-deserved coffee break with cake. Honeypie is situated just outside the old city walls and locals love to go there. I can see why, as it's much more than just a café. You can grab some knitting and work on a communal scarf or just sit and read while you consume the best cakes, ever. Apparently, we all need some vitamins every now and then when travelling (though why we can't just live on oysters alone, is beyond me). So pop by Juice junkies when you have the chance and order yourself a healthy green juice or a smoothie made from local ingredients. A policeman turned barista. That's pretty much the story behind Expresszo. Owner, and ex-policeman, decided to turn a gorgeous abandoned building on Pottenmarkt into his own coffee heaven. His mother makes all the cakes. Also, try the homemade juices and lemonades when you have the chance. I have this thing for special bookshops, and especially bookshops that are also cafés (read my article on Amazing bookstores in The Netherlands for inspiration). And Drvkkery in Middelburg is right at the top of my list. Basically, this bookstore is set in a beautiful old building facing the pretty market square. The books are set up in half circles around a café area where they serve the best sandwiches, quiches and salads. A great place for lunch, while you bury yourself in your newly acquired novel. What would we be without concept stores these days? I simply love InMiddels as it's the perfect combination of fun must-haves, like posters, stationery, jewellery and a snug corner to have coffee and cake. Freelancers also love this place to work, making it even more appealing to me (as I often travel by myself for work, and these places are perfect havens). And if you have a bad hair year, get a haircut in the back while you're at it. Vriendschap means friendship in Dutch and this warm and wonderful restaurant is near the market square of Middelburg. But it's much more than just a place where family and friends can hang out and catch up over a meal. Most of the produce, used for all the dishes, is grown on the roof terrace of the restaurant. Vriendschap doesn't want to spill any food and a lot of fruit and vegetables are pickled and kept, as you can see from all the preserves on the shelves in the back of the restaurant. It's also the perfect place to sample some local craft beers. Vegans and conscious eating will definitely like the concept behind Imagine. The owners (of course) named their business after John Lennon's song as they not only wanted to open a shop and café, but also leave the world a little better and a little cleaner. Their dishes are made with local produce and tell costumers where the products they've used come from. In the back of the café you'll find a shop that sells local produce without wrappings, to save on plastic and packing material. Imagine is famous for its soups and seasonal salads. I still feel like making an apology to the staff at Scherp for making 'nom nom' noises all through the three courses I had, as everything was simply so amazing. I tried a glass or two Schouwen-Druivenland Blanc+, a dry white wine that is made just around the corner at vineyard De Kleine Schorre. It has just a hint of salty sea air, making this a perfect wine to have with seafood. I am not the only one impressed by this wine, as Dutch airline KLM has chosen Schouwen-Druivenland Blanc+ to serve with their business class menu. But back to the restaurant and the food now, as both the setting and the menu are a perfect mix of tradition and modern. The Taste of Art crockery has pictures of modern women in traditional dress and looks absolutely stunning. As do the dishes of razor shells, oysters from Zeeland (Zeeland flat, creuses and Dutch imperial oysters) tongue and sole. I tell you, I had to refrain from licking the plate (I do pretend to have some class). This restaurant is set on a beautiful historical spot and run by chef Martijn and his wife Michelle. The food is honest and beautiful. Martijn only works with produce that is in season and that is for sale at the daily market. Now, that's how I like it. I especially recommend visiting during lobster season when the most amazing lobster dishes appear on the menu. A restaurant, wine bar and wine shop all rolled into one. What's not to love really. Vliegendt Hert opened its doors in 2017 and is already extremely popular, and I so get why. The setting is perfect in a house dating from 1575, a little majestically but modern. All dishes look clean and bright and taste just as intense. And don't get me started on the wine! There's a direct train from Amsterdam to Middelburg. It will take you close to 3 hours to reach Middelburg. Plan your journey through this website. You can buy your ticket at the station. Since it's quite a long way to Middelburg, I recommend you stay the night in Middelburg. I had an amazing time at The Roosevelt (yes, the Roosevelt's were from Middelburg originally and their connection to the city is still very strong). This boutique hotel has amazing rooms and a great restaurant, I really enjoyed my breakfast there. And I wasn't the only one, the Dutch royals also like to stay in this hotel. If you're curious about Middelburg, check out 7 things to do in Middelburg, The Netherlands. Plan your complete trip using my complete city guide Middelburg. These all look suuuuper cute! My two favorite things in the world are coffee shops and bakeries. I could spend an entire vacation just popping in and out of each one. Would love to visit all of these! By the way – I'm trying to figure out what's going on in that first photo… Are there actually pieces of cheese on the plate? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?? It looks like the woman is popping right out of the plate! Oh I hear you, I have a thing for book cafés myself!! Thanks for stopping by! Ugh that cheesecake is giving me hunger pangs. I ate my heart out when I was in Amsterdam last year and would love to do that again, in more of the Netherlands like Middelburg! Haha! I think so many people are surprised by Dutch cuisine as they can't really imagine what it's all about before they get here (do The Netherlands have 'a cuisine' at all?) and then get totally blown away by the beautiful produce and lovely signature dishes we have! Lot's of stuff sounds and looks really delicious. 🙂 When I was in the Netherlands it was really hard for me not to eat all the time, haha delicious food was everywhere. Omg, I shouldn't have read this on an empty stomach. Everything looks so amazing and delicious. I love good food, so I am sure I would love Middleburg. Your photos are making me hungry. So many adorable places, although the book shop cafe is calling me the most. I also love the story behind the police officer's cafe. Oh, that caramel cheesecake! My mouth is watering. I would also check out Imagine, as I don't eat meat — sounds like the perfect place for me! We are completely on board with the bookshop cafe idea! Nothing better. And also with the habit of audibly enjoying a great meal! 😉 Sherp sounds fantastic, but also De Gouden Bock sounds like our kind of place, with it's fresh menu. So much great stuff here – we're taking notes AND pinning this for later. 🙂 Thanks for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard!
