Talking about discipleship and truly being a disciple are two very different things. It is easier to know what we should do than to carry out. Many saints from our tradition have had much to say about this struggle to do what they know they must do, and not do that which they know they shouldn't. It is part of being human.
Without God, we have no chance to overcome this predicament. Without God, our actions can ring hollow, or often we are immobilized to act at all. Without God, we suffer with blindness to the truth of what is important and eternal.
The story in John 9 of Jesus healing the blind man is about more than a physical healing and just one man. It is about how each of us can find healing of our blindness by turning to Jesus Christ. Are you someone that has been saying, "I don't understand all this talk of discipleship and stewardship. What's the big deal?" We all have a blindness that needs to be healed, and the Body of Christ needs you so that God's presence in our world can be seen in a more profound manner. The reality is that God heals the blindness of those you seek him, so that in turn, they may be vehicles by which others may see as well.

Attorney general nominee William Barr addressed concerns on Tuesday about a memo he wrote about executive powers.
He spoke for most of the morning to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill during the first day of his confirmation hearings; those hearings continued in the afternoon.
Barr has faced concerns about his views on the issue of executive powers ever since President Donald Trump nominated him to become the nation's next attorney general on December 7.
Last year Barr wrote a legal memo criticizing the ongoing special counsel investigation for pursuing obstruction of justice charges against Trump. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) referenced the memo early during the Tuesday hearings in her opening statement.
"In the memo you conclude, I would think, that special counsel [Robert] Mueller is 'grossly irresponsible' for pursuing an obstruction case against the president and that pursuing the obstruction inquiry is fatally misconceived," Feinstein said.
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been leading the special counsel investigation, which is looking at whether Trump or his associates colluded with Russian interests during the presidential campaign. Feinstein noted the investigation covers both the interference allegations and obstruction of justice. It's the obstruction of justice issue that she said is a concern.
Barr, 68, said he won't let partisan politics, personal interests or any other improper considerations interfere. He also stated he had confidence in the special counsel investigation and would let it finish. His written testimony was released a day earlier, showing that he planned to address the issue.
Attorney General Nominee William Barr: "I believe it is vitally important that the Special Counsel be allowed to complete his investigation."
Love watching Democrats trying to trip up the consummate professional William Barr in his confirmation hearings.
Barr sent his memo to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special counsel. Rosenstein is planning to depart once Barr is confirmed.
Barr will be replacing former Attorney General Jeff Sessions if confirmed.
Sessions left the role following a tense relationship with Trump on November 7.
Barr has previous experience in the attorney general role, having served in that position for a few years under former President George H. W. Bush. The Democrat-controlled Senate confirmed him by a voice vote just 36 days after he was nominated.
Then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Dela.) led the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time — and advanced him with a 14-0 vote.
Barr said he would not allow the president to edit or interfere with the report. He also explained there will be two separate reports when it comes to the special counsel probe. The first report will be what the special counsel team drafts; it will be classified. The attorney general will then use that information to draft another report to share with lawmakers and the public. Barr said he is committed to being transparent.
Trump has repeatedly accused the special counsel team of being a biased witch hunt against him. Congressional Republicans have also expressed concerns of bias while reviewing the special counsel probe as part of their own investigation. The president has expressed dissatisfaction over Rosenstein as a result.
The special counsel team has taken down a handful of former associates of the president since launching its investigation in May 2017. But it has yet to connect the president himself to any collusion allegations and much of the charges already issued are due to unrelated crime allegations.
This piece has been updated to reflect new information.


Trouble, trouble knocking on my door.
Won't let trouble come in anymore.
Ain't got hate for those who put me down.
I'm moving on up, leaving the past behind.
I've been worried for too many times.
But no more worries will upset my mind.
Mistreated, I've learned to push my frontiers.
I won't back down, as courage conquers fear.
All is forgiven. All is forgiven.
Mercy, mercy, you've been gone too long.
Life without mercy is a life gone wrong.
I dread no evil in my darkest night.
As long as there is mercy, there will be light.
I could've been there, I could've been a friend.
I could've been more patient and tried to understand.
But nothing really matters now, since you've gone.
I could've been closer, less distant in your mind.
I could've been more open and less selfishly blind.
Oh, let's dance one more time through the night.
Oh, let's dance one more time tonight.
Maybe it was bad, maybe it was wrong.
Maybe I should've been there to help you grow strong.
I know this will change me, it will never feel the same.
Even now this aches, you really can't be blamed.
but to give you this song and treasure the memory of you.
So, let's dance one more time through the night.
if you wanna get ahead in life, don't stay behind no one.
There's more to this world, than I can ever show.
So, this is where I have to let you go.
Play your blues in the morning.
Play your blues while the moon is shining bright.
Even when we're apart, you're always in my heart.
As I hit the road he said: "son, bear in mind.
Don't think of home as a place, but a state of mind.
your wisdom from the grey.
So, you can pass it all along some day.
And play your blues in the morning.
everything you are today, was right there all along.
The greatest gift in life is to be who you are.
You'll always find a song in your guitar.
Play your blues, 'cause you were born this way.
Yesterday's gone now for a while.
Nothing fades as time goes by.
and everything that was left unsaid.
You gotta let go. Gotta let go.
Your world's spinning in the past.
In the end nothing ever lasts.
some things won't happen twice.
Seize the moment, before it's gone.
Grieving won't bring back the times.
It keeps that load on your mind.
Love ain't measured by the pain.
So, don't take pride to suffer in vain.
Nothing blooms on a barren field.
to a place where you can grow.
Don't feel guilt when you start to forget.
Let the past go dim while you move ahead.
Life has new moments, wherever you'll roam.
But you gotta let go. Gotta let go.
Gotta let go. Gotta let go.
Bring on the night and let me fade away.
Here in the dark, there's not much left to say.
With eyes open wide, pretending to be asleep.
As we lie back to back, I fall into the deep.
it doesn't make a difference, whatever I do.
All of me ain't longer all of you.
As my everything means nothing to you.
Time to move on and make my getaway.
only black in your white. So, I can no longer stay.
There's no us no more. We're right back at you and me.
Forever turned out to be just a temporal eternity.
my everything means nothing to you.
Scorned, ignored, I've been pushed around.
My life's been hard since I touched the ground.
No harm can keep hope away from me.
I'll be free. Oh, I shall be free.
Fought and lost. I've been knocked down hard.
Your love only knows how to break my heart.
Time will relieve me of my misery.
Chained and drawn by this earthly toil.
My loneliness kills what's not yet destroyed.
My day will come, oh you will see.
Free, one day I shall be free.
shown you more pain than one should ever feel.
You caged your dreams, so I could set mine free.
But they'll live on in the blood that runs through me.
I'm looking for that place where I belong.
slowed you down and made your eyes grow dim.
but every piece of me remains a part of you.
It's alright between your solitude & grace tonight.
or how our worlds collide, we'll always be the same.
but the more I see me, the more I see you.
We're as one, no more fights, no more wrongs.
Love tears down the walls around our soul.
Late in the evening, as the sun is set to sleep.
In this quiet hour, I can hear the sound of peace.
As the darkness surrounds me, I let the silence reign.
And I won't be fooled again. Oh, no no.
Knowledge is a hunter that kills the unknown.
Won't follow the leader, even if I don't know where to go.
In the heat of their desperation, only lies remain.
But I won't be fooled again. Oh, no no.
Building up tomorrow, as I'm breaking down today.
If I'm not the change, it will be like yesterday.
I'm no longer playing their game.
'Cause I won't be fooled again. Oh, no no.
I won't be fooled again. Oh, no no.
I won't be fooled again. I won't be fooled again.
hold me down. Hold me down.
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down.
It's my time to rise.
moving on. I'm moving on.
I'm not afraid of moving on.
No one will break my stride.
I'm on my way, on my way.
stop me now. Stop me now.
Ain't nothing gonna stop me now.
My mind's all set to go.
I'll let it be. I'll just let it be.
the light guiding my road.
Go ahead and sleep, close your eyes.
It's quite late and you've got an early rise.
And when it's hard for you to find peace of mind.
Listen, my dear, to this distant lullaby.
Go ahead and dream of what will come.
Soon we'll be back as one.
Take a look outside, babe.
Let me catch you in the moon.
as if you're in a silver air balloon.
Goodnight, my love, hang up the phone.
Though it hurts to hear you feel alone.
I'm right here with you in this distant lullaby.

Police close net on pitch invaders
"YOUR faces are known."
That's the blunt message today from police and football club officials to the idiots who ran on to the Portman Road pitch when Town equalised in the last minute of the derby match with Norwich.
Ipswich Town officials and police officers are studying television pictures from the Sky coverage of the match and published press photographs of the match to try to identify the culprits.
When they are identified they could be prosecuted and banned from the ground for several years.
The football club is facing an FA inquiry following the pitch invasion - and that could result in a fine of several thousands of pounds which it cannot afford at present.
Officials from the club will need to show the FA that it is doing all it can to identify the culprits and take action against them if it is to avoid a heavy fine.
The club's previous good record is expected to be a plus point for them - but they will still need to show they can keep the crowd under control.
Many of those who ran on to the pitch are believed to be known to the police, which should make identification less of a problem.
And there is an acknowledgement that Sunday's incident only involved a few dozen "hard core" supporters and was not a general pitch invasion like those seen at the end of earlier seasons.
Ipswich is not the only football club to be using television and press pictures to identify thugs.
Birmingham City bosses are studying Sky television and pictures from the Birmingham Evening Mail in an attempt to identify the fan who confronted Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enkelmann after he let in bizarre own goal on Monday evening.

When I started dieting in my early twenties, it created a love-hate relationship with food that lasted for more than thirty years. Starting with that first fast, I became more engaged with food than with the rest of my life.
Sometimes I craved a particular food so powerfully, I'd have barreled over anything or anyone to satiate that craving.
Sometimes the craving for food was so subtle I didn't feel it. At social events when food appeared, I'd nibble even though I wasn't hungry, and it didn't feel like I had a craving. Sometimes at meals I'd keep eating what was in front of me until I felt stuffed, even though I didn't crave a particular food.
Although it doesn't involve a craving for a particular food, overeating on any food is a food craving—simply because it is a craving for food.
Not everyone with extra pounds struggles with craving food and wants to lose weight. And conversely, not everyone who by all accounts is slim goes through life never struggling with food cravings.
I wrote this book for the people who are tired of dieting and of the never-ending struggle with food. If you are reading it, I assume you want to lose weight, or that you lose weight but struggle to keep it off.
In this book, I share my thirty-plus year journey of me living through the anguish— and coming out the other side—of the diet-crave-binge cycle. This is what I speak about. It is what I teach.
That's not to say that men don't struggle with food cravings. They do. But I rarely hear them talk about it.
Chances are you've had limited dieting success or you wouldn't be reading this book now.
If you're like me and countless others, you've dieted and programmed, you've weight-watched and maybe even hung out with Jenny. But now you're back, looking for the next thing, the right thing, and the final thing.
You might know how to lose the weight, but keeping it off, well…that's another story.
In Clear Your Cravings I show people who are fed up with dieting and who struggle with food cravings how to move to a diet-free lifestyle, how to lose weight and how to keep it off, without giving up any of the foods they love.
If this sounds too good to be true, I promise I will show you how, so stick with me. I hope this book will inspire you to start on your own journey to clear your food cravings, not just to lose those extra pounds—but so you too can stop the anguish of a life that revolves around the conflict of both loving and hating food.
So you too can rediscover the pleasure of eating without the guilt.
So you too can engage with life more often than with food.

5 Pound British Gold Sovereign (Random Year)
1+	 $1,699.00	 $1,716.70	 $1,769.79
Any quantity available for $24.99 per oz over spot!
The sovereign is a gold coin issued by the United Kingdom for standard circulation within the British economy. The traditional British Gold Sovereign is a coin with a nominal face value of One Pound Sterling, but it is also issued in various other weights and face values. The 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign coin is available to you now online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Arrives in protective plastic.
Official gold sovereign coin of the United Kingdom!
Contains 1.1775 Troy oz of actual gold content.
Issued a face value of 5 (GBP) by the British government.
Obverse includes the effigy of the reigning monarch.
Reverse features the design of St. George slaving the dragon.
Design on reverse from Benedetto Pistrucci.
Minting of British gold sovereign coins dates back beyond 1604, the last year of mintage for the previous English gold sovereign coins. It wasnt until the Great Recoinage of 1816 that the United Kingdom brought back production of a gold sovereign coin featuring the image of the reigning monarch on the obverse.
Modern British Gold Sovereign coins were introduced in 1817 and remained in steady production until 1917, with full circulation of the coins as currency continuing until 1932. These gold coins were struck off and on during the 20th century, with a brief one-year striking in 1925 and continuous production picking back up in 1957 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
All 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign coins feature a number of similarities. Though not released into wider circulation like their One Pound, Half-Sterling, and Two Pound mates, these coins feature the same obverse and reverse design concepts of the circulating coins. The reigning monarch of the day is always featured on the coins obverse.
In the case of 5 Pound British Gold Sovereigns, only the image of Queen Elizabeth II has ever appeared on the obverse. She is captured in right-profile relief on the coins, with early offerings in the 5 Pound collection including the Maklouf third-generation portrait of the Queen. All coins struck after 1998 feature Ian Rank-Broadleys fourth-generation depiction of the Queen.
The reverse of all gold sovereign coins, dating back to their reintroduction in 1817, includes a design from Benedetto Pistrucci of St. George and the dragon. The history of St. George and a depiction of him killing a dragon dates back as far as the 7th century, and he is often revered as a soldier saint.
In this listing, youll receive a 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign with a random year of issue from the Royal Mint. Gold coins in the sovereign collection are struck by the Royal Mints facility in Llantrisant, Wales.

'Fifty Shades Darker' Secures More Revenue Over The Holiday Weekend
By karen_querubin , Feb 22, 2017 05:14 PM EST
Despite the mediocre reviews from critics as well as moviegoers regarding the romantic-erotic relatinship between "Dominant" Billionaire Christian Grey and "Submissive" Anastasia Steele, the film Fifty Shades Darker has surprised reviewers by gaining massive earnings over the holiday weekends as compared to the first franchise, Fifty Shades of Grey.
'Fifty Shades Darker' Beats 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Record Over The Holiday Weekend
The film Fifty Shades Darker which stars Jamie Dornan as the lead Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele earned $20.35 Million from Friday till Sunday with a total weekend earning of $23 Million from Friday till Monday. According to movie critics the film is doing a lot better with a 56 percent plop as compared to the first franchise, 'Fifty Shades of Grey" which gained a 73 percent drop over the holiday weekend.
Two Years ago, Fifty Shades of Grey opened with $85 million and a total domestic debut of $166 Million. On the other hand, despite the not so good reviews about its forerunner, Fifty Shades Darker has already bagged massive earnings of $193 million in total and has actually claimed the top spot for four days since it was released from the Box office Charts which is quite surprisingly better as compared to its predecessor.
Over its worldwide release, the film has already bagged humongous earnings amounting to $284 Million with a lot more to come which also makes it a massive hit for Universal/Comcast Corporation.

I must admit that when I started the comic, I had intentionally made the human character designs a little extra cartoon like. This was because, if you dig back into the archives, you'll see that a lot of the earlier strips just involve dinosaurs eating people. It was easier (and more hilarious) to do this the less human and relatable they were, but in today's comic we explore the human frailties behind the mask.
Create a more long form story arc. Even if it's just a one pager, it would be an interesting challenge to adapt the comic to that format and storytelling style.
More guest strips. I have a bunch of talented friends, and I'd love to showcase a collaboration with them!
Create character reference sheets, turn arounds, and play with perspective and composition in my panels. I mean, I guess.
Create more enamel pins! I made some pins for the comic last year, and I'd like to continue to play with that idea. You actually purchase one online right now, and I'll probably be putting a few more designs on the store in the near future. Every purchase supports the comic and helps me to keep producing and hosting new content!
Be more active on social media. I currently use them as platforms to announce new comics weekly and that's about it, but I'd like to create some more content and engage more specifically in those spaces.
After typing it all out, that list seems more ambitious then it did when it was just in my head. It's only January though, so I can't wait to dig into it. I hope you'll join me and see how Dino Timecop Force evolves this year!

I bet you didn't know that this is a national holiday. It's true, though. June 4 is National Hug Your Cat Day.
This is one of those simple, straightforward days, not a Hallmark Holiday frenzy like several other days of the year with which we are all very familiar.
Hug Your Cat Cay simply encourages cat owners everywhere to hug their cats. If you aren't a cat owner, you can always borrow one for part of the day. The more dedicated cat owners don't really need to be reminded to hug their cats, but–like many other things we take for granted–it never hurts to be nudged about our feline friends who are generally content just to cuddle up to give a little comfort and companionship to their owner.
If you have a cat like Maxine, my old lady feline roommate, you'll never need to worry about hugging your cat. For someone who is 16 years old, she can leap into my lap faster than an ice cube melts in the sun on a 90 degree day. Somehow, she seems to know when I'm even thinking of sitting down and can be there right beside me in a flash, almost before I get settled. Maxine takes it as an open invitation to go for my lap whenever I eat at my table; if I don't make it inviting for her, she stares unblinkingly at me from where she sits on the floor a foot from my chair. It's not easy to eat even a bowl of cold cereal in that circumstance.
Maxine has it pretty easy living in my house, but she would have an even better life if I hadn't grown up on a farm. Back in the day–especially when there was livestock on the farm–all animals lived outside. Even pets. There was plenty of space in the barn when they needed to get in, and we played with them there and outside, but no cats, kittens, dogs, or puppies were in the house. So it was a big step for me to get a house cat. I hope Maxine understands that I don't fuss over her constantly.
I'm sure there are many more house cats who are pampered much more than mine. In 2017, I found, there were some 96.8 million pet cats in our country. Based on surveys, the estimate is that there are currently about 58 million stray cats in the U.S. As I figure it, that means there is about one cat for every four people on the planet.
So, even if you don't have your own cat, now is the day to go borrow one to hug.

There is some good news ahead for marines and sailors, with a new Navy Community College hopefully opening in 2021. This type of educational opportunity is very much needed for a few different reasons. Finishing a traditional degree while serving in the military can be quite difficult. Between deployments and other trainings, there is not a lot of time to fit in a traditional program. A Navy Community College would help with this.
Another reason for a Navy Community College would be so that sailors and marines could be eligible for real-world college credit based on what they have done during their time in the military. This would be a great way for sailors and marines to move forward in an after military career before they even leave the service, and use what they have learned to help them in the future. It can also create a stronger military force.
John Kroger, the Navy's new Chief Learning Officer, has the job to align the department's academic institutions. That includes the US Naval Academy, the Naval War College, Naval Postgraduate School, Marine Corps University and the new Navy Community College coming in a couple of years.
Kroger believes strongly in educating marines and sailors in today's world. The college will be mostly online, allowing for a more flexible way to go to school, which is needed. However, the hope is to also have in-person classes in areas where there are larger navy and marine corps populations.
The school would offer sailors and marines free associate's degrees, as well as college credits that service members would be able to easily transfer to other accredited schools. Sailors and marines would be able to earn degrees in a variety of subjects, from computer science to history or data analytics according to Kroger in a Military.com article on the new Navy Community College.
The Navy wants to partner with colleges and universities that already offer strong associate degree programs. Classes will be flexible in order to allow sailors and marines to complete their education without having to start and stop their programs or give up time in a program that they can't complete because of military obligations.
Kroger wants to develop technological solutions making it easier for sailors and marines to participate in ongoing and sustained education. The Navy Community College would be a big way to do this and would be keeping up with the more modern way of completing an education, which is more flexible, and available to more and more people.
Hopefully, things will move ahead with this plan and we will see the Navy Community College opening in the next few years. The college would be a big help to many sailors and marines.

2023: Obi Urges Youths To Take Back Nigeria
Sally's Groove
The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged the Nigerian youths to take back their country.
Obi spoke in Owerri, Imo State on Saturday while inaugurating the new Secretariat of the party donated by one of his supporters.
He stated that Nigeria cannot continue the way it is.
He said that he was happy that the people were more anxious now to take over the leadership of the country.
Obi stated that he was ready to redirect leadership and pull it out of its sorry state and hand it over to the youth and the other citizens who had borne the brunt of bad leadership all the while.
"As you know, campaigns have not started. So, I am not here for campaigns. I am here to receive from a wonderful supporter, who gave us this building to support our Labour movement.
"We have not started campaigns. When campaigns start, we will come and we will be able to tell you what we are going to do. But one thing we will assure you is that our journey is not a normal campaign. We are bringing back Nigerians, to take back Nigeria.
"We are going to take back Nigeria and give it to the youth where it belongs. When that time comes, you will know. We will be able to change this country. It cannot continue the way it is, today

Q: Limit of the Trapezoidal Rule
Let $f$ be Riemann-integrable and $\zeta=\{x_0,...x_n\}$ the most equidistant pratition. Show that $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{b-a}{n} (\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{f(x_{k-1})+f(x_k)}{2})=\int_a^b f(x)dx$$

My try (but this is obviously wrong)
We define the Riemann-integral as (short) $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f(\xi)\Delta x_k$$
Hence $f(\xi)=\frac{f(x_{k-1})+f(x_k)}{2}\in f([x_{k-1},x_k])$
(Note, this is only true if $f$ is increasing).
Could anyone give me a hint on how to continue, without the need for an increasing-function assumption?

A: The sum you wrote down is a Riemann sum. Let $$I_0=\left[a,a+\frac{(b-a)}{2n}\right]$$
$$I_k=\left[a+\left(k-\frac12\right)\frac{(b-a)}n,a+\left(k+\frac12\right)\frac{(b-a)}n\right]$$
For $1\le k\le n-1$, and
$$I_n=\left[b-\frac{(b-a)}{2n},b\right]$$
The intervals cover $[a,b]$ and the width $\Delta x_k$ of each interval containing $x_k$ is the weight given to $f(x_k)$ in the trapezoidal rule.

A: Clearly if $f$ is Riemann integrable on $[a, b]$ and if $\zeta = \{x_{0}, x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}\}$ is a partition of $[a, b]$ with $x_{k} = a + kh$ and $h = (b - a)/n$ then by the definition of Riemann integration it follows that $$\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{b - a}{n}\sum_{k = 1}^{n}f(\xi_{k}) = \int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx\tag{1}$$ where $\xi_{k}$ is any arbitrary point in interval $[x_{k - 1}, x_{k}]$.
Now we need to take $\xi_{k} = x_{k - 1}$ in $(1)$ and again take $\xi_{k} = x_{k}$ in $(1)$ and adding the resulting equations we get $$\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{b - a}{n}\sum_{k = 1}^{n}\{f(x_{k - 1}) + f(x_{k})\} = 2\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$$ and dividing by $2$ we get the desired equation. All we need to assume is that $f$ is Riemann integrable on $[a, b]$.

Firstly, the anti-gun lobby (e.g. the Brady Bunch) have managed to subvert the meaning of the term "assault rifle." The etymology of that term is crystal clear. It is the literal translation of the German word "Sturmgewehr," which the Nazis created and applied to a unique "machine gun" (Stg44) that they developed late in World War II. There shouldn't be any confusion about the nature or meaning of the term. et, I read almost daily about assault rifles which are only semi-automatic firearms, but are assigned that label only because they are black and/or ugly. The gun-haters misuse the word "assault" because it falsely conjures up violence and law-breaking.
When was the last time you saw the word "embryo" or "fetus" in a newspaper or popular magazine article? They are the correct terms to apply to a stage of human development which, if brought to completion, results in the birth of a child or children. Those words are no longer de rigueur. Today, thanks to the pro-lifers and their accomplices, you only read about "unborn child," "baby," "person." Is there something wrong with "embryo" or "fetus?" The pro-lifers want you to think that a fertilized ovum is a person. Ridiculous!
Occasionally we now see or hear the term "illegal Immigrant." Rest assured, the Latino-bloc and the bleeding-heart, social engineers will soon make that term a memory. Already, they have invented "undocumented immigrant" and/or simply have dropped the "illegal" adjective. I'm sure we'll see other novel euphemisms used to describe the law breakers.
Incidentally, a dictionary definition of euphemism is: "The substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant." It fits, doesn't it?
The bottom line is that those activists, abetted by the media, are muddying the clarity of our language to further their political agendas and confuse the general public. For shame!


Honda's two-person and four-person 2014 Pioneer 700 and Pioneer 700-4 models commence a new assembly of side-by-side off-road machines in the Honda lineup. The Pioneer machines were designed by Honda Research and Development in Ohio and built at Honda South Carolina, to gratify the needs of off-road aficionados. The new Pioneer models supersede the esteemed Big Red and head the excitement for future Pioneer models.
The Pioneer 700 and Pioneer 700-4 fall into the steadily growing multipurpose side-by-side category and easily outstand neighboring competitor's quality and value with the Pioneer 700 starting at $9,999 and Pioneer 700-4 at $11,699.
Honda's development of the Pioneer models are powered by an all-new chassis built around the 700cc-class liquid-cooled OHV single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a distinctive automotive-style automatic transmission and integrated doors and headrests. The new chassis and design features a long-travel suspension configuration for a leveled ride over hard-hitting landscape, so riders can carry and tow heavy loads without apprehension.
The Pioneer 700-4 includes a load carrying bed and convertible seating arrangement that can be swiftly and easily transformed from a two-seat to three- or four-seat arrangement without using tools.
Depending on the carrying needs, the two rear seats lift from the bed by releasing the latch and locks into place, switching to a three or four seating arrangement with three-point seat belts available from above on the Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS).
Both Pioneer models are built with a sturdy steel frame and a wheelbase slight longer than the Big Red's –76.8" vs. 75.7"- however the total length and width have been slightly reduced, making the Pioneer models more efficient with a 14.8" turning radius and 10.3" ground clearance.
The new Pioneer additions distribute relaxed and coordinated double-wishbone independent front suspension system with 7.9" of travel and double-wishbone independent rear suspension system with 9.1" of travel with twin rear shocks adjustable for preload, creating exceptional off-road, carrying capabilities. The 2014 Pioneer models have new front tires sized at 35 x 8-12 for improved and responsive steering. Riders and passengers will also experience noticeably less engine vibration and an even ride with the innovative engine-mounting subframe and vibration-isolating bushings that better control the steering wheel, handholds, floor, seat bottom, and seat backs.
A dual shift-mapping program is new to Honda's Pioneer models, which automatically selects the Cruise or Sport transmission-shifting mode depending on the driver's repetition of throttle operation. The Sport mode initiates and holds the transmission in gear longer before shifting to supply uncompromising performance when required. The Cruise mode permits the transmission to shift up earlier for prolonged limits and casual performance.
The 2014 Pioneer models feature full-time 2WD to transfer the power into enhanced, terrain-grabbing traction. A new rear-wheel drive now integrates a non-differential rear end, delivering excellent drive features including a 4WD gearshift selector for rough areas and a front differential lock for maximum pull. The Pioneer's tilt-bed is rated for a massive 1000-pound hauling capacity and a remarkable 1500-pound towing capacity, and includes multiple D-rings on the cargo's wall and bed for accessible tie-down points.
Honda's Pioneer models have over 50 genuine and signature accessories, allowing owners to deck out their new Pioneer for individualized needs. The innovative Pioneer models embrace Honda's unparalleled quality, and cater to the various demands of off-road recreational riders, hunters, outdoor families, job site employees, and everyone in between.

Outremeuse (Waals: Dju d'la Mouse) is een wijk in de Belgische gemeente en stad Luik. Op 31 december 2015 telde de wijk 9799 inwoners.

De naam Outremeuse betekent aan de overkant van de Maas (Frans: La Meuse). Sinds de aanleg van het afwateringskanaal in de 19e eeuw is het een eilandje op de plaats waar de rivieren de Ourthe en de Maas samenkomen. Voorheen heette het Entre Ourthe et Meuse. Het paleis van de prins-bisschop van Luik Ernst van Beieren stond in deze wijk, het werd door hem afgestaan om er een hospitaal van te maken.

De schrijver Georges Simenon groeide op in Outremeuse. Zijn grootvader had een hoedenwinkel in de Rue Puits-en-Sock en de Sint-Foillankerk speelt een rol in zijn boek 'Het lijk aan de Kerkdeur'. Verder zou het folkloristische personage Tchantchès in augustus 760 geboren zijn in de wijk. Een aantal inwoners van de wijk riep in 1927 de onafhankelijkheid uit bij de stichting van de République Libre d'Outre-Meuse.

Natuur en landschap
Outremeuse was vroeger een moeras, daarna het deel van Luik op de rechteroever van de Maas. Toen in de 19e eeuw het Afwateringskanaal Luik werd gegraven, kwam Outremeuse op een eiland te liggen, waarop zich ook de wijk Longdoz bevindt.

Nabijgelegen wijken en kernen
Outremeuse grenst aan de wijk Longdoz, en via bruggen aan de wijken Luik-Centrum en Amercœur.

Ook grenst Outremeuse aan de deelgemeente Bressoux en aan de wijk Droixhe van Bressoux.

I love the soft colors, the forest of trees, and cute little squirrels. It is such a sweet collection, perfect for highlighting your fall pictures.
Each paper is double-sided. One side is great for using as a background, while the other is handy for borders, fussy cutting and creating your own embellishments. There is even a matching die-cut sheet of patterned paper.
The paper has the perfect weight to it. You can distress it without ripping it, but it's thin enough to punch easily.
The collection also includes a sheet of die cut cardstock, an overlay sheet, and three different alphabets to choose from. There is a chipboard alphabet, a glittered epoxy set, and those teeny tiny "Mini Alphabet' stickers that everyone loves.
-The weight of the paper is perfect for distressing and punching.
-The paper is double-sided. You get more for your money.
-The cute images and colors are perfect for fall OR girl themed projects.
-I wish there were more borders on the die-cut cardstock sheet.
-The overlay would be easier to use if it were die-cut as well.
-I would love to see more letters in the glitter alphabet set.
Available at: TwoPeasInABucket.com, *ScrapGal.com, and Ally Scraps.
I really enjoyed using this collection! I saved the scraps to be used again on other projects. What do YOU think? What are your thoughts on this collection by My Little Shoebox? Aren't those little squirrels the cutest things ever? Will you be running out to get some? Or do you already have it? If so, do you love it as much as I do?
I absolutely adore anything that My Little Shoebox comes out with. Imagine a Forest is just too darn cute and I've already purchased several pieces of the paper. I agree with you about the overlay - it would be really great if it was die cut as well!
Thank You for the wonderful insight !!! I love your LOs!!!! You are awesome !!!!!
Love this line--it is a cut above some of the other lines that are out now. Seems there was a lot of thought put into this one. Cute stuff!
thanks for the insightful review and the lovely inspiration, mandy. My Little Shoebox has really hit the bullseye with this line.
I love how much you used those circles and half circles. I never know what to do with those and you gave me some great ideas!
Love this line! Great article...Fantastic LOs!!!!!
I had never heard of this web site before you mentioned it. I've enjoyed reading the reviews. I think this is a really cute line, a little too pink for me but really sweet. Great projects! Thanks for reviewing it.
The comment about it being easy to punch may have swayed on this collection.
Your "HI" card is sublime! I'm kinda over the forest cuties trend but the paper is beautiful!
I love it. What an adorable line. I am so glad you have this site, I get to see alot of cool stuff I'd never know existed otherwise.


According to psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker Amy Morin, these are the traits that mentally strong people exhibit. I've outlined the list below, but please click here to read writer Cheryl Conner's article in full.
Waste time feeling sorry for themselves.
Waste energy on things they can't control.
Make the same mistakes over and over.
Feel the world owes them anything.
Do you have these qualities? Is there area for improvement? This might be something to consider as you set new goals for 2014!

Caroline Broadhead: a retrospective
A Critical Rehearsal
Designing in Turbulent Times
Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine
Wellcome Photography Prize 2019
Take a look at the exhibitions that have happened so far this year at the Lethaby Gallery.
7 - 14 November
The Postgraduate Art Auction returned to the Lethaby Gallery, bringing together an incredible collection of donations from our celebrated alumni, friends and students. Lots in the live auction, for which we welcomed returning auctioneer-extraordinaire Adrian Biddell, include generous donations from Shezad Dawood, Antony Gormley, Mona Hatoum, Cathy Lomax, Cathy de Monchaux, Paula Rego, Raqib Shaw, John Stezaker, Nicole Wassall and many others.
The funds raised from the annual Auction are of enormous value to our Postgraduate Art students, with the proceeds contributing to the cost of hiring an external venue for the interim exhibition. They have also contributed to students' final degree show installations, catalogue, and a critics' feedback session.
14 September – 27 October | Lethaby Gallery and Window Galleries
Across a wide range of design disciplines, this exhibition showcased a selection of the very best 2019 graduate projects from Central Saint Martins, offering compelling and disruptive propositions for more sustainable and equitable futures.
Tatty Devine
20 July - 11 August
Featuring over 100 pieces of Tatty Devine's statement jewellery from the past 20 years. From the early leather cuffs and piano belts to giant two metre versions of their 'greatest hits' including a lobster, their magpies and a huge banana, alongside sketchbooks, ephemera and two new films.
Tatty Devine's founders Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine set up a market stall in Spitalfields Market in the mid 1990's. Their DIY, unknowingly anarchic approach resonated with an industry and public who were hungry for something different from the commercialised, mass produced products on offer. Together they challenged jewellery conventions and invested in a laser cutting machine, going on to create personality-packed jewellery much loved and still culturally relevant 20 years on.

Foundation Show 2019
26 - 8 April | Lethaby Gallery and Waterlow Park
The 2019 Foundation Show reached further than ever before with two sites: one inside at the Lethaby Gallery at Central Saint Martins and the other outside at Waterlow Park in Archway.
From 26–28 April, students from Foundation Diploma in Art and Design shared their final projects from the year's study. In the Gallery, visitors saw work from the course's four curriculum areas: Three Dimensional Design and Architecture; Fashion and Textiles ; Fine Art; and Graphic Communication Design. Over in Waterlow Park, our Fine Art students responded to an exciting environment exploring scale, site-specificity and public participation through film, sculpture, installation and more.
2 March - 15 April
Madame B was an immersive video installation which examined the link between capitalism and romance in relation to Gustave Flaubert's 1856 novel Madame Bovary. It is a collaboration between Dutch cultural theorist and video artist Mieke Bal and British video and performance artist Michelle Williams Gamaker.
Working anachronistically to highlight the novel's shocking contemporaneity, Madame B opened up historical and contemporary connections between economics and romantic love, desire, consumption and loneliness. Divided into eight key scenes and split across 19 screens, the installation framed the complex drives at play in the lived experiences of women – both then and now. Through an immersive video experience, Madame B showed how these factors have persisted over the 150 years since Flaubert's novel was published.
The project was hosted and curated by Michaela Giebelhausen and Alison Green, Course Leaders of BA Culture, Criticism and Curation and MA Culture, Criticism and Curation.
Seductive Capitalism: In Conversation – read our interview with the exhibition's artists and curatorial collaborators.
8 - 22 February
A Critical Rehearsal considered the work of "becoming" and reconsidered performance as a series of trialled possibilities crafted through collaborative action.
This was the first event in a programme marking the centenary of the establishment of the Bauhaus, a renowned school of art and design. A Critical Rehearsal places process centre stage to challenge the form that "rehearsal" is assumed to take and share how Central Saint Martins students devise their practices daily.

Bringing together work from across four decades, this exhibition reflected the breadth of Caroline Broadhead's pioneering creative output.
Using jewellery design as a departure point, Broadhead's objects were designed to be worn on the body and changed through touch and interaction. Further encompassing sculpture, installation, performance, textiles and photography, her practice is concerned with the borders of the individual – between inside and outside, public and private and the balance between materiality and image. Often working in collaboration, Broadhead's works are activated by bodies and performers, examining the demarcation of human physicality.

Alumni award winner builds bridges for UWO
by | Jul 12, 2016 | Alumni News, Education and Human Services, Headlines
During his professional career, James Hoffman '75 and MS '82, has been a teacher or administrator at all four levels of public education–elementary, middle and high school and in higher education.
His passion and dedication to the field of education will be honored with a Distinguished Alumni Award during Homecoming 2016 at the Alumni Awards Celebration on Friday, Oct. 21.
Hoffman arrived at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh as an undergraduate student after serving in the U.S. Navy from 1968 until 1972. He earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education in 1975 and a master's degree in curriculum and instruction administration in 1982.
He began his career as a teacher and worked his way up to administrator, a role he served in for 26 years.
After retirement in 2007, Hoffman took a job with his alma mater—the UW Oshkosh College of Education and Human Services (COEHS) as the outreach and special projects coordinator. In his position, he serves in a critical role as a connector between UW Oshkosh and the K-12 educational system.
As a result of his hard work, Hoffman has transformed how the college operates and thinks about its mission for outreach education. He has opened doors with local school districts and agencies the college once thought were firmly closed–creating rural-based networks with school districts that provide better facilities for students at UWO, improving school programs in K-12 schools and supporting the college when budgets are tight.
"Without Jim's tireless energy, good humor, willingness with his dean, none of this would have happened–none of it," said COEHS Dean Fred Yeo.
Hoffman's dedication goes beyond the expected 9-to-5 work day. He previously served as the president of the COEHS Alumni Association Chapter of the UW Oshkosh Alumni Association and also was a member of the UW Oshkosh Alumni Association Board.
He helped raise funds for scholarships, volunteered as a staff adviser for student organizations and recruited principals and superintendents to participate in college mock interviews. Since the Principal Licensure Program began, he has taught the internship course for the program. Hoffman also has served on various committees at the state level and spoken at administrative conferences through the state.
For more information about the Alumni Awards Celebration on Oct. 21, please contact the UW Oshkosh Alumni Relations Office at (920)-424-3449 or send an email to alumni@uwosh.edu.

Custom paint, 27.5+ and e-bikes from Orbea
Orbea celebrates 175 years of cycling with 2016 range
Published: September 3, 2015 at 5:25 pm
This video was produced in partnership with Orbea.
Originating in the Basque region of Spain, Orbea has a long history of cycling – 175 years to be exact, and the breadth of its range rests on years of development and innovation in many disciplines of cycling. At Eurobike 2015 Orbea unveiled new mountain bike models, updated road bike options and an e-bike for the large commuter cycling market.
New to Orbea's range of mountain bikes are the Occam and the Loki. The Occam comes in two versions; the 27.5 all mountain AM, and the 29er TR trail bike. The Orbea Loki is named for the shape-shifting Norse god, which gives a clue to it's nature – running 27.5 plus it can also take 29er wheels, and Orbea says it's ideal for new mountain bikers looking for a stable, fun, robust ride.
Related: Orbea Loki 27.5+ first ride
Another noteworthy development for 2016 is the option to fully customise the paint work on the Orca road bike range, surprisingly for no additional cost. At the other end of the cycling scale, the Katu e-bike is a steed designed to work well in the urban environment, with plenty of storage and a low centre of gravity.
Check out the new bikes, products, gear and technology on show at Eurobike and Interbike 2015.

You shoud check to see if $Data is indeed defined otherwise there has been an error. You can now send SQL queries and retrieve info to your heart's content! See the description of functions below and also test.pl to see how it all works.
See new for more information.
Also, in an effort to keep the examples short, no error checking is done on return values for any calls other than the one being exemplified. You should always check for error conditions in production code.
WARNING: The example code has not yet been tested. This will be fixed ASAP, but be forwarned!
Retrieves the catalog from the current ODBC object. Returns a four-element array (Qualifier, Owner, Name, Type). Note:All fieldnames are uppercase!
Returns the object's ODBC connection number.
Closes the ODBC connection for this object. It always returns undef.
Retrieve data from previous fetch for a list of field names. In a scalar context it returns all of the field values concatenated together. In an array context, it returns an array of the values, in the order in which they were specified. If no field names are given, all fields are returned in an unspecified order.
Retrieve data from previous fetch for a list of field names. Returns a hash where the field name is the key. If no field names are given, all fields are returned.
where DSN is the Data Source Name and Remark is, well, the remark.
where DRIVER is the ODBC Driver Name and AttribX are the driver-defined attributes.
Dump to the screen details about the last error condition. This includes error number, error text and the ODBC connection number that caused the error (if there is one). This is used primarily for debugging.
Dump to the screen all field names and the data in all rows of the current dataset. This is used primarily for debugging.
Returns the last recorded error in the form of an array or string (depending upon the context) containing the error number, error text and the ODBC connection that caused the	error (if there is one).
Fetches the next row of data from the previous specified SQL statement. You would then call Data or DataHash to actually retrieve the individual elements of data. Returns undef if there's an error, TRUE otherwise.
Returns a list of field names extracted from the current dataset. This is used mostly for testing/debugging. FieldNames returns the data in an array, with no guarantee of the order of the names.
Returns an array of connection numbers for all objects.
Returns the DSN (Data Source Name) or the ODBCDriverConnect string for the connection conn, or the current connection if not specified.
Returns the current maximum single field data size, in bytes.
Returns the current ODBC close type setting. This is used mainly for debugging. Type will be one of: SQL_CLOSE, SQL_DROP, SQL_UNBIND, or SQL_RESET_PARAMS. See SetStmtCloseType for more info on what each of the types mean, and how they are used.
Sees if more result sets are present and initializes for fetching rows from next result set. You would then call FetchRow to actually fetch the next row of the next result set. Returns undef if there's an error, TRUE otherwise.
Creates a new ODBC object, given a DSN (Data Source Name) or a properly formatted ODBCDriverConnect string. Returns the created ODBC object or undef if there is an error.
Returns the number of rows that were affected by the previous SQL command. Note: This does not work on all ODBC connections.
Submit the SQL statement stmt and print data about it. This is used only in debugging.
Sets the maximum buffer size that a single field can allocate when executing a FetchRow. The default limit is 10240 bytes and the absolute maximum is set to 2147483647 bytes. This absolute maximum can be reset by recompiling the module. Returns undef if successful.
Sets the current ODBC close type setting used by the ODBC Manager. This is used mainly for debugging. Normally, when you open a statement handle and perform a query (or whatever) the results are associated with the statement. You need to free the statement in order to execute another query. When you do this, usually the dataset (from the query) is cached. This caching action may be good for speed but could cause some memory problems if your dataset is huge. See the ODBC API call SQLFreeStmt(hstmt, option) for more details. (All of this is handled automatically by the Win32::ODBC package).
Closes the ODBC connection and print data about it. This is used only in debugging.
Executes the SQL command stmt. Returns undef on success, SQL error code on failure.
Retrieves the list of table names from the current ODBC object using Catalog. If not specified, qualifier and owner default to "", name defaults to "%", and type defaults to "'TABLE'". TableList returns an array of table names. Note:All fieldnames are uppercase!

Environmental Impacts
Drawdown History
Rodman Campground
Lake Oklawaha R.V. Park
Lou & Donn Snow's Cabin
SAVE RODMAN RESERVOIR, INC
The fight to save Rodman has been a long and hard battle. The 1995, 1996, 1997, and the 1998 Florida legislatures refused to appropriate any money for the destruction of Rodman Reservoir. In fact, the 1999 legislature appropriated $500,000 for repairs to the facilities, including restrooms and boat ramps.
No funds for destruction have been allowed since then and improvements to boat ramps, fishing piers, restrooms, and camping facilities have continued. Channel day markers were installed in 2002.
The supporters of Rodman Reservoir have only asked that the fate of Rodman Reservoir be guided by facts and reason, the following findings of the 1995 scientific reports are provided
Rodman Reservoir has more visitors than all but 12 of Florida's State Parks, supports over 3 times the recreational use of the Oklawaha River, and will support over 50% more recreation than a restored river.
Florida DEP estimates that Rodman Reservoir supported 307,217 visitor days in 1993, more visits than all but 10 of Florida's 129 state parks. In 1992, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated there were 376,609 visitor days, more visits than all but 12 of Florida's 129 parks. Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (GFC) documented the total recreational use of Rodman Reservoir (343,840 person-hours) was 3 times greater than the use of the Ocklawaha River (113,859 person-hours). Florida GFC and Florida DEP estimated that between 55% and 58% of the total angling effort at Rodman Reservoir is attributable to largemouth bass fishing. Over 40% of the anglers are targeting other fish. Between 4% and 6% of the anglers are subsistence anglers, who catch 2.7-2.8 meals/week from the reservoir and tailrace, respectively. Florida GFC also documented that Rodman Reservoir supported 32,059 person-hours of recreational swimming, 13,934 person-hours of recreational boating, 6,839 person-hours of canoeing, and 1,195 person-hours of hunting. Rodman Reservoir provided more non-fishing recreational use (62,229 person-hours) than the Ocklawaha River (51,650 person-hours). Florida DEP estimated a loss of 55% of the total recreational use if the Ocklawaha River is restored. Florida GFC concluded the loss of Rodman Reservoir will result in a 63% decrease in recreational use. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume 1-pages 2-40, 3-37, 3-41 & 3-55; (Fl. GFC Recreational Use and Fisheries Report, pages 5,9, & 15)
Rodman Reservoir provides between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 per year to the economies of Putnam County and Marion County.
Florida DEP estimated the visitors to Rodman Reservoir in 1993 provided $6,206,439 of the direct expenditures to Putnam County and $6,903,499 in direct expenditures to Marion County. Florida DEP also estimated the presence of Rodman Reservoir resulted in the employment of 45 individuals in Putnam County and 57 individuals in Marion County. Florida DEP states the Full Retention Alternative will provide additional positive impacts for the economies of Putnam and Marion counties. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume 1-pages 7-26, 7-30)
Rodman Reservoir, after operational costs, provides at least $18,000,000 in positive economic benefits over the next 20 years and these benefits exceed those of any Oklawaha River restoration alternative by more than 225%.
Based on comparisons of quantifiable benefits and costs, Florida DEP concluded that the Full Retention Alternative and the Status Quo Alternative produce higher quantifiable net economic benefits over the next 20 years than either Full Restoration or Partial Restoration. The difference between economic benefits and costs for Full Retention of Rodman Reservoir was estimated to be $19,943,842 after 10 years and $29,181,578 after 20 years. The difference between economic benefits and costs for maintaining the Status Quo at Rodman Reservoir was estimated to be $18,060,235 after 10 years and $26,438,663 after 20 years. Compared to the Partial Restoration Alternative, the least expensive restoration alternative, the economic benefits of the reservoir exceed those of restoration by 225%. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume1-pages 6-9, 6-10 & 6-16).
Removal of Rodman Reservoir produces negative net economic benefits over the next 20 years ranging from -$3,895,646 to -$18,295,500 depending on the restoration alternative chosen.
Based on opportunity cost analysis, Florida DEP concluded that Partial and Full Restoration of the Ocklawaha River produces negative net economic benefits over the next 20 years. Depending upon how restoration is implemented and how long it takes, Florida DEP estimated Partial Restoration will result in economic losses ranging from -$3,895,646 to -$5,175,972. Economic losses for Full Restoration were estimated to range from -$15,257,983 to-$18,295,500. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume 1-pages 6-12, 6-13, 6-14, 6-15 and 6-16)
A restored Oklawaha River is not a free Oklawaha River. Land management costs will be at least $550,526 per year.
Florida DEP states that one continuous flaw in previous economic analyses of the costs of retaining Rodman Reservoir versus the costs of Restoring the Ocklawaha River is that once the de-construction costs were completed there would be zero costs allocated for maintaining the area as a refuge or recreation area. Florida DEP estimates the annual land management costs for a restored river will be $550,526. Florida DEP estimates the users of a restored river would only be willing to pay $511,672 per year for use of the river. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume 1 pages 2-20, 2-39)
Users of Rodman Reservoir are willing to pay $985,752 to $1,160,680 for Rodman Reservoir, thus paying for annual operating and maintenance costs.
Florida DEP estimated users of Rodman Reservoir would be willing to pay $985,752 for the Status Quo Alternative and $1,160,680 for Full Retention Alternative. Florida DEP estimated an annual expenditure of $435,480 is needed to continue full lock and dam operations at Rodman Reservoir. Land management costs, which include upkeep and maintenance of the lands and recreational facilities within the Rodman Reservoir complex are estimated at $349,156 for the Status Quo Alternative and $617,487 for the Full Retention Alternative. Total annual costs for maintaining Rodman Reservoir, therefore, range from $784,636(Status Quo) to $1,052,967(Full Retention). DEP, however, acknowledges that some costs are inflated and that costs could be lower depending on how the Rodman Reservoir complex is operated. (Fl. DEP Socio-economic Study, Volume 1-pages 2-28, 2-29, 2-38, 2-39, 5-30, and 5-31)
Removal of Rodman Reservoir has unknown costs and threatens the boundaries of the Cross Florida Greenway.
Florida DEP states the State of Florida is currently obligated to pay back to the counties, which funded the original Cross Florida Shipping Channel and Barge Canal through ad valor taxes, $25,732,580 in non-construction costs. If the Legislature decides to restore the Ocklawaha River, Florida DEP estimated it may take up to two years and cost at least $180,000 to obtain all necessary state and federal permits. The U.S. Congress must also deauthorize Buckman Lock. Restoration costs are estimated to range from $13,926,520 (minimum restoration) to $34,609,920 (full restoration). Because it has long been argued that restoration is needed to restore the natural floodplain functioning of the Ocklawaha River, full restoration will undoubtedly become the alternative demanded by activists once the dam is removed. Florida DEP further acknowledged that there may be unknown court and land purchase costs. There are 17 easements (7,600 acres of flooded easement land) within the Rodman Reservoir taking line. If the courts rule that "inverse condemnation" applies, the State of Florida will have to purchase these lands in order to maintain the present boundaries of the Cross Florida Greenway. (FDEP Socio-economic Study, Volume1-pages 2-18,2-19, 2-46 and 4-9)

Police are warning people to keep their cars locked and secure after a spate of thefts in Hyndburn.
Thieves have been targeting cars in the Clayton-le-Moors, Altham and Baxenden areas with around 15 cars targeted at the end of November and beginning of December. All of the cars targeted had been left insecure with items such as purses, wallets, cash, mobile phones, tablet devices and satnavs stolen.
Police are following a number of leads and the offences remain under investigation.
The warning comes during the busy Christmas shopping period – heightened patrols will be carried out in town centres as neighbourhood policing teams work to reduce crime and keep people safe.
Neighbourhood Coordinator Tony Ford said: "Please remember to always lock your vehicle and ensure valuables are not on view. Don't leave charging wires hanging out of power sockets – it suggests there might be a sat-nav or a phone in the vehicle.
Police are urging people to be extra vigilant and to report anything suspicious to the police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.


Kitchens are one of the hardest rooms to keep organized. Not only do you need places to store appliances and other cooking equipment, it's where you store the items you eat on and with as well, not to mention food and other various knick-knacks.
Add in needing counter space to prep meals, and even the largest kitchen can sometimes feel too small. So, how do you keep a kitchen organized when it seems that the old motto "a place for everything and everything in its place" is impossible to achieve? You make yourself more places, of course. Read on to find out how.
Store your sponge in an upcycled bottle.
Use magazine racks to make some shelving in your freezer.
A desk rack works perfectly to organizing cutting boards or cookie sheets.
Cookie cutters can be kept organized on a paper towel holder.
Installing a curtain rod on the inside of the cabinet door is easy and is the perfect place to store pot lids.
For plastic lids, CD racks work great, so they don't go everywhere in your cabinets.
A little velcro will help to keep those dish towels from falling onto the floor.

How Should the World Respond to the Humanitarian Crisis in Xinjiang?: A Conversation with Darren Byler
In this episode, Dr. Darren Byler joins us to discuss China's policies in Xinjiang and policy options for the international community. Dr. Byler analyzes the portrayal of Uyghur and Kazakh ethnic minorities in Xinjiang in comparison to other minorities in China and in relation to the Han majority. He describes how Chinese policymakers have shifted the discourse on policies towards Uyghur Muslims from concerns of "separatism" to concerns of "terrorism," and evaluates the appropriateness of these terms to the Uyghur and Kazakh populations in Xinjiang. In addition, Dr. Byler describes the displacement of Uyghurs and Kazakhs in the Xinjiang region following China's economic development policies in the 1990s. Finally, Dr. Byler discusses the camps in Xinjiang and the responses from the international community towards the camps, and offers suggestions for international policymakers moving forward.
Dr. Byler is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Asian Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he researches the dispossession of ethno-racial Muslim minorities through forms of surveillance and digital capitalism in China and the global South. Dr. Byler's first book project, Terror Capitalism: Uyghur Dispossession and Masculine Violence in a Chinese City, examines emerging forms of media, infrastructure, economics and politics in the Uyghur homeland in Chinese Central Asia. Prior to joining the University of Colorado, Dr. Byler was a lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Washington in Seattle.

  # etc..

I'm not trying to change the permissions, just look at the octal value.
Something like this:
-bash-4.1$ ls -l test*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user joe 0 Nov  11 09:41 test1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 user joe 0 Nov  11 10:12 test2*
-r--r----- 1 user joe 0 Nov  11 10:14 test3
-rwxr-x--- 1 user joe 0 Nov  11 10:17 test4*
-bash-4.1$ ./perm test*
test1:
permissions: 644
test2:
permissions: 555
test3:
permissions: 440
test4:
permissions: 750

A: If you just want to print the the octal representation for a given file, stat can help:
stat --printf '%a' your_file
