Another very impressive wine from the Oddfellows, made from a blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Cabernet. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Perfumed nose of violets, spice, blackberry and blackcurrant. The palate has impressive weight, delivering a 'joosy' quality that is more often associated with McLaren Vale. The tannins are soft, making the wine very approachable. Flavours of black pepper, blackcurrant and spice emerge over a white pepper back palate. Aftertaste of plum, spice, blackcurrant and liquorice allsorts with white pepper persisting.

Articles Planing raw oak is no problem!
– It's just not necessary to dry oak that will be left untreated in a gate. And if you build using raw wood, then it won't warp as much during drying, explains Mikael Carlsson at Toftens sawmill.
Mikael and his brother Kjell operate the business that has been in the family since the 1700s. Until five years ago, their main area of business was milk, but today it is small-scale woodworking.
-It started when we went on a job to do conservation work in a nature reserve. We were thinning the forest and used horses to draw out the timber in order to avoid damaging the grounds, says Mikael.
When the brothers were asked if they would be able to make a set of gates for the area, the idea started to take form. Pressure-treated wood was out of the question- it would have to be a naturally durable tree species. The choice fell on oak.
– Oak's heartwood is highly durable, says Mikael, pointing out that the sapwood is significantly worse.
Does it need to be dried?
The right raw materials were standing right in the forest. The property had a circular sawmill and a Logosol planer/moulder PH260. It was just a matter of getting started with the construction. But Mikael soon realised that it was unnecessary and unwise to let the wood dry before planing and installation of the gates.
-Drying increases the risk of warping in the wood. Furthermore, it is not necessary to dry material for a gate that is going to be outside and which will not be surface treated, but rather naturally protected by the heartwood, he says.
No sooner said than done. In went the fresh oak to the planer. It worked splendidly, and since the gate was bolted together, there was no warping after drying. Countless metres of fresh oak have gone through the planer since. The tannic acid has left no trace on the machine and the surfaces are even and true both before and after the wood has dried. One might well wonder why Mikael spends time planing wood for gates that will stand untreated in a nature reserve. Over time the differences between planed and unplaned are unlikely to be noticeable.
– I plane them to get the right dimensions. Assembly is easier that way, replies Mikael.
News of the reliable and durable oak gates has spread, and orders are coming in from half the country, including for a tribute to the king of botany himself, Carl Linneus.
– For Linneus' 300-year anniversary celebration, I got orders from the agricultural university in Uppsala for posts that would be used to mark footpaths during the celebration. The posts would have to be planed with milling on the sides to paint different colours to point hikers in the right direction, says Mikael, who received more orders for posts after the delivery.


September 25, 2014 - Wolffkran is a manufacturer of tower cranes for sale and for hire with headquarters in Switzerland and production facilities in Heilbronn and Luckau, Germany. The company recently introduced an IP-based remote maintenance system for their products that ensures a high degree of IT security by using encrypted VPN connections. INSYS icom's MoRoS HSPA industrial-grade cellular radio routers and the INSYS Connectivity Service are key modules for automated connection control in the new remote maintenance concept.
The crane manufacturer made this decision since the previous GPS-based system, which had been in use since 2002, no longer fulfilled all technical requirements, and worldwide availability could no longer be guaranteed. Goals for the next solution were independence from special providers, a higher data transfer rate, easy retrofitting, and an efficient encryption method.
Deltalogic Automatisierungstechnik GmbH was tasked with the implementation of the project. The automation expert, manufacturer of innovative hardware and software components, and long-established INSYS icom partner also delivers communication adapters to Wolffkran – these make the operating and error data from Simatic S7-300 controllers in the cranes available for the proprietary helpdesk software WolffLink.
In Deltalogic's new remote maintenance concept, the crane controller independently logs into the central Wolffkran server via SMS. If required, the server then prompts the cellular radio router MoRoS HSPA via SMS to establish an encrypted VPN tunnel that enables Wolffkran service staff to access all relevant error, status, and connection data from the S7-300 controller. Deltalogic's communication and programming adapter ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact which is installed between the MoRoS HSPA and the S7-300 ensures smooth communication between the TCP/IP world and the proprietary Siemens interface MPI.
The SIM cards for the MoRoS industrial routers are provided by telecommunications provider Telefónica, who cooperates with INSYS icom and Deltalogic in the "Excellence in M2M" network which offers comprehensive solutions for the field of industrial data communication.
"With the smart business solutions, our customers can operate their internal and external processes and complete applications much more efficiently and at much lower costs", says Kai Brasche, Vice President Digital M2M at Telefónica Germany. "Costly or time-consuming IT projects are no longer necessary." In order to install and operate the VPN connections, Wolffkran uses the INSYS Connectivity Service which INSYS icom provides via the portal https://connectivity.insys-icom.de. This central VPN network service enables users to quickly, easily, and cost-efficiently establish VPN networks without any special skills or technical requirements. Logged-in users merely need to create the desired devices – the VPN configuration and the system-generated certificates are then downloaded automatically. MoRoS industrial routers are configured automatically, but users can also employ devices from other manufacturers.
"We have found the solution for our high demands: MoRoS cellular radio routers offer a wide range of functions and can be easily configured which saves valuable time", says Andreas Wagner, Head of Electrical Engineering at Wolffkran in Heilbronn. "Additionally, the routers offer important options that we will need for future services. Therefore, we now equip all our cranes with INSYS icom's MoRoS HSPA." Recently introduced at this year's Baumaschinen-Messe exhibition in Bern, Switzerland, the new crane WOLFF 5014 city is one of the first models equipped with the IP-based VPN remote maintenance solution.
Founded in 1992, INSYS icom is a well-established technology partner for industrial data communication and M2M technology. The company's product portfolio includes simple serial modems, integrated cellular radio routers, controllers for e-mobility charging stations, and complete energy efficiency solutions. INSYS icom supplies customers from various industry sectors, such as energy production, mechanical engineering, and traffic engineering. The company's durable solutions are also employed by system integrators, automation experts, and the public sector. They are used for various applications such as remote access, alarm messages and monitoring processes, and the intelligent secure integration of systems.


It was late July 2016 and I was staying at the Pez Espada with my family. After a lovely day around the pool and a delightful dinner in the hotel's restaurant, we thought we would go for an evening walk along the promenade towards the marina, which holds the most beautiful view. On our arrival back to the hotel I ordered a SAN Francisco drink which has the most refreshing taste, I sipped my drink while watching the peaceful pool. Just another lovely day at Pez Espada, I love the hotel so much that il be making my return sometime this year.

Il formicaleone di Maria Matilde (Myrmeleon mariaemathildae ) è una specie di Mirmeleontide (formicaleone), famiglia di insetti appartenenti all'ordine dei neurotteri, endemico di Tunisia e Sardegna.

Il nome è un omaggio a Maria Matilde Principi (1915 – 2017), entomologa e accademica dell'Università di Bologna.

Descrizione
Il formicaleone di Maria Matilde condivide l'aspetto degli altri membri della specie.

Nella fase larvale presenta un corpo largo abbinato ad una testa piatta dotata di lunghe mandibole protese in avanti con cui caccia le prede, costituite da afidi o bruchi, nella caratteristica trappola a forma conica, corpo caratterizzato dal colore beige, punteggiato con tonalità più scure, ricoperto di setole.

Nell'adulto il corpo ha una lunghezza modesta, che va dai 18 ai 22 mm, presenta due paia di ali strette e lunghe quanto il corpo, ricche di nervature, e un addome lungo e sottile, di colore giallo pallido con macchie più scure, aspetto che le fa assomigliare alle libellule.

Distribuzione e habitat
Myrmeleon mariaemathildae è stato rivenuto in una parte dell'areale mediterraneo, nelle zone costiere della Tunisia e dell'Italia insulare, ma solamente in Sardegna  e in Toscana, precisamente all'isola d'Elba.

Vive nelle dune costiere con vegetazione erbosa, con gli adulti che volano per circa una settimana tra la primavera e l'estate, dove la femmina depone un uovo per volta in diversi punti sotto la sabbia, dove poi rimarranno per tutta la fase larvale, accanto a piante del genere Ammophila.

Biden's world
by Gareth Porter, Lawrence Korb August 29, 2008 September 23, 2020
Panel discussion with Gareth Porter and Lawrence Korb
PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: Welcome to the continuing coverage of The Real News and the Democratic National Convention from Denver, Colorado. Joining me just minutes after we've heard from Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden is Gareth Porter, a historian and investigative journalist, and Lawrence Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, who was an assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration. Both our guests join me from Washington. Gareth, what's your reaction to Joe Biden's speech? It was supposed to be a foreign policy speech. There was at least—not much foreign policy in it, but there was a little. What did you make of it?
GARETH PORTER, US FOREIGN AND MILITARY POLICY ANALYST: Well, you're right: there wasn't very much. And I found myself feeling the heavy hand of the structure of American politics on this speech, and not just on the speech but really on the entire Democratic ticket's approach to foreign policy in this electoral campaign. What he did, essentially, was to position the Obama-Biden ticket to the right, in a very important sense, of John McCain. And, of course, there was a series of sort of "gotcha" moments, where he said that John McCain's judgment was terribly flawed, was wrong on a series of national security, foreign policy issues, and Barack Obama's judgment was right on. But when it came to making the ultimate foreign policy point, it seemed very clear to me that there was a deliberate decision made to, as I say, position Obama and Biden to the right of McCain.
JAY: What's an example of that?
PORTER: Well, specifically, I mean the penultimate point—or the ultimate point was the point that John McCain fails to understand that the center of the war on terror, the central front of the war on terror, is Afghanistan and Pakistan, and that the United States must have more troops in Afghanistan. So, in effect, he's portraying John McCain as weak on the war on terror compared to the Obama-Biden ticket. And I must say it's more than a little reminiscent of the positioning that John F. Kennedy made in 1960, just to the right of Richard Nixon. Of course there are other examples as well, but that's the one that sticks in my mind.
JAY: Larry, what did you make of Biden? And what do you make of what Gareth is saying?
LAWRENCE KORB, CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS: Well, I think Senator Biden was trying to show that it's not just how long you've been doing something but whether you have the right judgment. And then the other thing is that the Democrats are not going to shy away from defending the country. I don't agree with Gareth in the sense that I think the shift to Afghanistan was basically something Obama has said for quite awhile, because he said that was the central front, we took our eye off of the ball by going to Iraq, and therefore he has urged to cut down in Iraq so you can give more attention to Afghanistan. I don't think sending two to three, you know, brigades, which is what Obama has said, is, you know, going to change the number dramatically. I mean, that would be maybe about a 10 percent increase. And interesting enough, McCain has also embraced that; the only thing is he's going to wait till he can cut down in Iraq.
JAY: But Gareth, a couple of brigades probably won't make that much of a difference, which means that if there is going to be a difference on the ground there, it's going to take a lot more troops than that.
KORB: —so that they won't allow a haven for a Taliban and al-Qaeda in what they call the federally administered tribal areas.
JAY: Gareth, how do you answer that?
PORTER: Well, there's no doubt that, you know, a couple of brigades is really quite a small addition in comparison with what most military people really feel they would need to have in order to have a much greater impact on the strategy. And by that, I think, you know, Larry's absolutely right that they need more troops in order to reduce air power. But from what I've seen, the figures that have been given are, you know, that there would be a multiple of two brigades that would be required in order to ease off on the air power. And my view of, you know, what we have in Afghanistan, as well as in Pakistan, on that front is really a crisis in strategy. And I'm really disappointed, although I must say that I'm not surprised, that the Democratic ticket is really embracing simply the position that we need more troops, rather than raising more fundamental questions about the strategy itself. And Larry has correctly pointed to the overuse of air power. In fact, the dangerous use of air power, which was just in the headlines in the past two days, two or three days, where the result of that has been massive civilian casualties in a very major incident. The United Nations, investigating it, has contradicted the position of the US military. And this is just once again an indicator of how the US role in Afghanistan is in danger of really repeating the mistakes of Vietnam. I mean, what we're seeing—
JAY: Larry—.
KORB: —is, you know, large-scale civilian casualties. Karzai, president of Afghanistan, has called attention to this in the past. It really has not been addressed adequately. We're really in a strategic crisis there, and I would really like to see the Democratic ticket take that on. I'm afraid that is not the way American politics operates.
PORTER: —an indicator of how the US role in Afghanistan is in danger of really repeating the mistakes of Vietnam. I mean, what we're seeing—
KORB: —is large-scale civilian casualties. Karzai, president of Afghanistan, has called attention to this in the past. It really has not been addressed adequately. We're really in a strategic crisis there, and I would really like to see the Democratic ticket take that on. I'm afraid that is not the way American politics operates.
JAY: Larry, one of the things that Obama does to differentiate himself from McCain and Bush is that he says he's far more committed to multilateralism and working with countries and regions. But in terms of Afghanistan, I have not heard Obama or Biden articulate any kind of a strategy that would involve the countries of the region. And there's also been, some people say, provocative language about an increased use of targeting al-Qaeda and other kinds of what they call "high targets" in Pakistan itself, which some people say inflames opinion in Pakistan. So what do you think of Gareth's statement that there needs to be a new strategy and we're not hearing it?
KORB: Well, again, I think there needs to be one, but basically what Obama has said all along: you're so focused on Iraq that you can't even devote the time to Pakistan. And one of the things he quoted McCain in saying, you know, Afghanistan is already won. And so, you know, you're going to have to emphasize it more. And I think the whole idea of working with other nations, I mean, it's implicit that we're not there alone. There are 37 other countries, including, you know, troops from Canada, that you would have to work together so that the whole would be greater than the sum of the parts, which is not the case now, because basically you've got three separate commands over there and everybody kind of doing their own thing.
JAY: One thing, Gareth, that Biden did state quite clearly which, I think, does distance Obama and Biden from McCain is he reinforced his position about negotiations with Iran. And he said it without any kind of this, you know, "Only in my time and my place." He defended the very basic principle of negotiating itself. Don't you think that's meaningful?
PORTER: Well, absolutely. There's no doubt that on the issue of Iran, there's a clear distinction between Obama and Biden on one side and McCain on the other in terms of their fundamental approach. And that certainly is a point to be welcomed and celebrated as far as the Democratic ticket's position is concerned. I mean, they're very clear that they favor negotiations; they feel that war against Iran would be a disaster, as Biden said publicly. And I think we have to recognize and applaud that position. I'm afraid that there's nothing in the public record so far that would indicate that Joe Biden has a clear conception of how to negotiate a settlement with Iran, but I do believe that once the United States and Iran were to sit down together with good will on both sides, that that problem would not be an overwhelming one, would not be an overwhelming obstacle to an agreement.
JAY: Larry, Biden just went to Georgia and came back talking not so differently than what we've heard from McCain, although I think McCain is perhaps—you know, it's hard to get more aggressive than McCain's been on Georgia, but Biden came back sounding somewhat similar. What do you think of the Biden and Obama position on Georgia?
KORB: Well, I think Biden said it, and he said, you know, "We're going to stand up for Georgia," but he didn't say that we're going to have a war with the Russians on there. And you go back to the earlier point about, you know, working with other nations and not ignoring the problems. I mean, he mentioned that McCain, basically, and Bush have not recognized that Russia and China and India are going to be world powers that you're going to have to deal with.
JAY: But he used a very strong phrase; he talked about not just rebuilding Georgia, but he talked about holding Russia accountable, which is quite strong language.
KORB: Well, it is, but, I mean, "accountable" [means], you know, they have to live up to agreements that they make. I mean, I think that's the position of the United States and NATO allies is that they agree to a ceasefire, they agree to, you know, basically, you know, restore the status quo before the war, and they haven't done that.
JAY: Right. Gareth?
PORTER: Well, on Georgia, I think the problem that I see in the Biden message here is that it does not really address what is a fundamental problem in US relations with Russia, which is the intention of the United States, which the Democratic ticket now strongly supports, to extend NATO membership eventually, at least—no timetable at this point—to Georgia, right on the Russian border, in a situation which clearly is unstable. And, you know, I understand that there's sufficient ambiguity there for one to argue that, well, you know, we're not committed to doing this until the problem is solved, but the background of this, as we all know, is one of the Bush administration pushing for NATO membership for Georgia in a situation which was clearly provocative because it encouraged the government of President Saakashvili to use force to try to reclaim those territories, or at least to isolate Russia in the hopes that that would somehow help his case. And I'm afraid that the problem of the provocative nature of NATO membership under those circumstances is being swept under the rug, and I think a policy that is really nuanced in terms of, you know, relations with Russia would take that more seriously.
JAY: Larry, are you concerned at all that there's been not any hint of critique of the Bush administration coming from Obama or Biden on Georgia? For example, the missile agreement with Poland, people from [as] far afield as George Friedman from Stratfor to Pat Buchanan have been very critical of, certainly, McCain's camp, of Randy Scheunemann having lobbied for Georgia and being a foreign policy advisor for McCain. That, one would think, would be a natural thing to criticize, but we haven't heard much critique of any of this out of the Obama or Biden camp.
PORTER: Well, I think if you take a look at the missiles in Europe, I mean, what Obama has said and Biden has said is that there was no rush to do it. Now, once the Russians go into Georgia, then you have a different situation, because then you don't want to look like you're backing down in the face of, you know, Russian pressure. And, of course, the Poles, they were not quite sure they wanted it; then right after, of course, the Russians go in, and of course they want to move in that direction. My understanding is, though, that basically Biden and Obama had said, "What's the rush? What was the rush to do it when you did it at that particular time?"
JAY: So, Larry, if you were to say in just one final word what will be new about an Obama-Biden foreign policy, what would it be?
KORB: Well, basically, the Bush policy is unilateral if we can, multilateral only if we must. I think the Biden-Obama policy would be multilateral if we can, unilateral only if we must.
JAY: Same question to you, Gareth.
PORTER: Well, I think what we could hope for is certainly some negotiations with Iran, and that would be, certainly, a breath of fresh air. But, again, I'm afraid that what we're looking at here is a United States which is headed towards more disaster in the Afghanistan-Pakistan front. The question of whether the policy trajectory that the United States is on and which the Obama-Biden ticket now appears to be strongly supportive of, of increasing the US military commitment in Afghanistan and possibly even, you know, supporting some sort of operation in Pakistan, is courting disaster in a situation where the population of the large parts of those countries are more and more anti-American. And use of military force has clearly caused that to intensify; that problem is intensifying because of that. [inaudible]
JAY: Right. That's a long word.
PORTER: It really needs to be asked whether these are winnable and whether they are wars that—both the war in being and the one that is being contemplated, certainly, by the CIA, are wars that would be further disastrous for the United States.
JAY: Larry, do you want to answer, just quickly?
KORB: Well, basically, I think that the difference would be, basically, to focus on the real threats to your security. We can talk a long time about the right strategy in Afghanistan, but the fact of the matter is we took our attention off it before the job was done, and we've got to get back to that, and we can't do it by ourselves. I think that's the main message.
JAY: Great. Thank you very much for joining us, both of you. And thank you at home for joining us. And please stay tuned to The Real News Network for continuing coverage not just of the Democratic National Convention but of the Republican convention, and of course of all the major foreign policy issues. Thanks for joining us.

Moore Field School and the Mystery is the start of an exciting children's series featuring Samantha, whose parents teach at her school, Moore Field School in Manchester, England. Her best friend is Jessica. But Moore Field School is about to close down. At the last minute, the headmistress, Miss Moore, moves the school to Lakeview, a place she has always liked. Just what is the mystery at Moore Field School? Before the first term starts at Lakeview, the students go to a fun camp where they hear about a local haunted house. Meanwhile, some scary men are searching for long-lost trophies that they will do anything to find. They even search Miss Moore's office for clues to where the trophies could be hidden. What is happening with the trophies and how is Moore Field School involved?
Samantha has gone to Moore Field School for most of her life, along with her best friend Jessica. Her parents even work at the school. But unfortunately, Moore Field School is closing its down. In a last imnute call, Miss Moore, the headmistress, relocates the school to Lakeview. Its a town nearby, so the students don't have to move, and because of the lease of the previous building coming to an end, it seems like a good choice.
Before starting the new term at Lakeview, Miss Moore organized a summer camp for all the students, to get used to the new environment and to make new friends. Unfortunately, during camp, one of Samantha's friends gets kidnapped. She, Jessica, and a few other friends have to find out what's going on. Some mysterious burglars seem out to find long-lost trophies, and they may be involved in the kidnapping. On top of that, a local house is supposedly haunted, and the burglars aren't the only ones after the trophies.
Moore Field School and the Mystery was a fun read. The characters acted a little young for middle graders, so I'd say this was more for a lower grade audience. The mystery was definitely surprising. When I thought it was going to go one direction, it quickly changed into another direction. Some things seemed pretty random at first, but then started to make sense as the book progressed. I liked Samantha and Jessica, and their friendship was entertaining as well. They had a lot of inside jokes that made them seem like real people, instead of characters in a book.
All in all, a good read for children and tweens looking for a fun mystery.

The dissension between The Bullet Club Firing Squad and The Bullet Club Elite is turning out to be one of the most intense rivalry of the year and earlier today on Twitter, the war between the group's continued as Cody Rhodes and Tama Tonga traded blows on the social media.
After initially forming The Firing Squad at The G1 Specials in San Francisco, former three-time IWGP Tag Team Champion Tama Tonga, alongside his fellow Bullet Club Firing Squad members have made it to the news for all the controversial reasons, thanks to their recently developed notorious behavior in NJPW.
Throughout the entirety of the recently concluded G1 Climax Tournament, The Bullet Club's Firing Squad developed a very notorious reputation, all thanks to their regular interference in almost every single match in this year's G1 Climax.
The trio of Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Bad Luck Fale constantly made their presence felt in high stakes matches and caused an issue with almost every single member of the NJPW roster, including the likes of Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega.
The recently ignited war of words between Tama Tonga and Cody Rhodes initially started when the former put out a video on Twitter stating that he and his fellow Firing Squad members are looking to recruit new superstars to The BC Firing Squad.
Cody, who over the past few months has developed himself as one of the more prominent members of The BC Elite, responded to Tama's recruiting efforts by stating that The Bullet Club currently got the best wrestlers in the world, a badass queen (referring to Brandi Rhodes), and even got a dog.
In addition, Cody also mocked another one of Bullet Club's new members, Mr. Gino 'Juicy' Gambino and eventually asked 'The Bad Boy' to head down to NXT already.
However, Tama subsequently also responded to Cody's claims by assuring that he and his crew aren't going anywhere and are pretty loyal to NJPW.
Cody Rhodes is currently slated to challenge for the IWGP US Championship at NJPW's next show in the US, Fighting Spirit Unleashed at Long Beach, California, where Cody goes one-on-one with Juice Robinson.
Meanwhile, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa will be challenging The Young Bucks for the IWGP Tag Team Titles at the very same show.

A rape reported every 15 minutes. Reasons why India is unsafe for women
Updated On September 30, 2020
by	STP Team
In the last 24 hours, a two day old baby was stabbed 100 times. A rape survivor died succumbing to brutal injuries after she was gang raped. What's wrong with our safety efforts?
A rape is reported every 15 minutes in India. In the last two months more than 25 rapes made headlines, of this some were reported as heinous acts of violence and gang rapes, mostly from the state of Uttar Pradesh, where the girl was strangled, her tongue was cut, or she was raped and her body was thrown away. The Hathras gang rape case has left the nation shocked, not just by the brutality of it but with the grim reminder how deep rooted and rampant caste based violence is in the country. Women are asking, why does India fail its daughters every single day? Women are neither safe at home (India has no laws against marital rape and domestic violence cases are on the rise), nor on the streets.
Here are ten reasons why India is unsafe for women:
A Thomson Reuters Poll 2018 called India the most unsafe country in the world. Women reported nearly 34,000 rapes in 2018 (these were reported, every day many go unreported). Of these, over 85 per cent led to charges, and 27 per cent to convictions, according to the National Crime Bureau (NCRB) report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs. It shows that while cases are registered, most stay inconclusive giving no justice for long periods of time.
The "Crimes in India -2019" report by NCRB shows that crimes against women have gone up by 7.3 per cent last year. The crime rate registered per lakh women population is 62.4 per cent in 2019, up from the 58.8 per cent figure of 2018.
Our deep rooted cultural, tribal and customary rituals put men in a position of power leading to 'sexual slavery' for women.
Caste based violence against women is prevalent in India where the society is divided not just by class, gender but also by a very hierarchal caste system putting privilege and power in the hands of some castes, more so in the hands of men of the higher caste.
We don't have laws against marital rape, as a result, an abusive husband gets away and a woman is forced to stay in the marriage without any support from the system.
While the minimum age required to get married in India is 18, child marriage and marriage of minor girls is rampant. 27% of girls in India are married before their 18th birthday and 7% are married before the age of 15. According to UNCIEF, India has the highest absolute number of child brides in the world – 15,509,000.
Female foeticide is widespread in India. This is due to sex-selective abortion, childhood neglect of girls and infanticide. In India sex-selection is banned but despite that rampantly done.
Another deep-rooted issue is our mindsets. This further makes India unsafe for women. Women are seen as the lesser sex. Society perpetuates the notion that boys should be put ahead of girls because apparently when they grow up they will 'earn for the family' while women will be married off and be 'given away'.
Recently a young girl, in Lakhimpur Kheri district of UP, was gang raped when she was going to another district to pick up a scholarship form. A 2 day old little girl was stabbed a 100 times reportedly with a screwdriver. Little has changed for women in India since the Nirbhaya rape cases of 2012 which made global headlines.

I am the parent of a weird kid, and I know I'm not alone
Guest post by Sacha Davis
#Being Parents#big kids#lesbian family#LGBTQ#medical conditions#playgrounds#special-needs
As I pushed my daughter in the cool spring-like air I felt a warm hand grip mine all of a sudden, holding on tightly and pulling at me. Considering that my older son was flitting around in another area of the playground, I knew the hand that gripped mine was an interloper. I looked down to find a boy, younger than my son, older than my daughter, looking up at me and pulling me towards the swing next to mine.
"Do you want to swing?"
The boy nodded.
I'm a parent and I love kids, so if some random kid on the playground wants to grab my hand and silently suggest that he'd like a boost into the swing, I'll oblige. So I did, and moments later his mom rushed up, embarrassed, apologizing, clearly flustered that her apparently non-verbal child had accosted a total stranger in his search for a turn on the swing, that I was having to deal with her weird kid. I smiled at her and assured her that it was no problem for me to help her son. But I wanted to tell her something else. I wanted to tell her that I understood more than she realized.
Parents of weird kids, you are not alone.
How do I know this? I am the parent of a weird kid. The one that was flitting in and out of the play equipment, a flash of red and fluffy blond hair. The one that is currently upside down on my couch as I squeeze in a few minutes of writing between wiping runny noses and preparing dinner. The one that rarely just walks but goes through life dancing by my side.
Life with a weird kid is isolating. You spend a lot of time tamping down that parental anxiety when your kid is freaking out and it seems like all the other kids are sitting nicely and cooperating. You explain over and over that your kid just doesn't like circle time or story time or most organized activities. I've learned over time to respect my son and the way he functions, and there are a lot of activities we simply cannot do because he can't handle them. I've learned that the reason it seems like all the other kids can cope is that the parents with the weird kids are staying home. I've felt completely and utterly alone as seemingly everyone else went around with their perfectly normal, average kid.
The Incident: my son was bullied for having gay parents
A few months back, I wrote that my son had never been bullied at his Texas public school. Perhaps it was inevitable, given that Waylon... Read more
The playground is the great equalizer. All kids love to run and jump and play. All kids love to swing, especially my non-verbal little friend, who later rummaged through my bag, whipped off his hat and put mine on. His mother apologized profusely again and I grinned and proclaimed it rather cute. After all, on a previous visit my kid was the one running around after a group of older boys and hissing at them. When I asked if he was trying to play with them he just replied, "I like to hiss." The playground is where the weird kid mixes in with the other kids and you get those anxiety ridden parental interactions because they know their kid is not the norm, that he or she is someone special.
Call it what you will. High-Functioning Autism. Quirky. Walking to the beat of a different drum. Sometimes I call it having a weird kid, because, honestly I have a weird kid. For my son the official label is sensory defensiveness. He is a wonderful boy who spends a lot of time responding to stimuli in his world. As he grows older and more aware, we will work with him, and for him, to be the best he can be while remaining true to who he is. I know he's my weird kid but all he knows is that he's a boy who loves Angry Birds, Star Wars, and his parents, and I work hard to keep it that way.
Later that day my son and I went to Trader Joe's and we came across another mother and son shopping. The mother was reminding the son to watch his body space, to be aware that we were behind him, using a mildly irritated tone. I know how she feels. About the one millionth time you remind your kid about the social mores we grownups take for granted, about the basic sense of proprioception most of us don't even think about, you feel fatigued. I smiled again and told her it was totally fine. Because it was. Later the same kid came up and told me where the stuffed animal that gains you some sort of treat was hidden, a little awkward, a little abrupt, but he was open and sweet and willing to talk to an adult instead of being shy, and thoughtful.
So, parents of weird kids everywhere, you are not alone. We're out there, but not always in plain view. We're on the playground. We're in the stores. We get it, and we're happy to have your kid be his or herself around us, just like I was perfectly happy to hoist a kid who wasn't mine, who could only make a request by placing his hand into mine, into the swing and push him for a little while on a warm springish day.

I am a parent, spouse, and registered nurse. I live, learn and love in Seattle with my wife of 20 years and our two amazing kids. On any given day you can find us playing in the park or sitting on the shores of Lake Washington throwing rocks in the water or eating ice cream or having a good time with our friends. If you see someone walking down the street with a boy dancing by her side, that's me. Life is good.
Comments on I am the parent of a weird kid, and I know I'm not alone
As a former weird kid/weird current adult, thank you for writing this piece. My parents spent years stumped by my tendencies to tell outlandish and blatantly untrue stories for no apparent reason and spent so much time apologizing. In the end, instead of repressing my behavior and harping on my to BE NORMAL, DAMN IT, they taught me to channel the imagination I wanted to share with everyone into a creative process instead. Now I'm a writer, and with their encouragement, can spaz to my heart's content. Your love for your kids is obvious; thank you for not forcing them into things they don't want, and thank you for letting weird kids/weird parents/weird parents-to-be (hi!) know that there's a wonderful weird community out there that understands.
What is "weird" anyway?
There are of course some behaviour that adults do that is outside the norm (and the norm kan vary from country to country) and there are things people do that are blown out CRAZY and they need medical help, but what is "weird".
When I think about weird I think about me and the other kids that never fit in at childrens school (don't know the school system in US… but in Norway you start college(?) at 16)
so when we started "college" at 16, we found a group of peers who dressed different, funny make up, piercing, talked about books that was just "sooo weird" and was all "OMG, we are so WEIRD. All you other guys, don't talk to us, we are cool `cause we're WEIRD and you are not".
I have grown out of that fase. I still beat my own drum, but I'm not weird, I'm just Me.
It seems like a lot of parents think "I was weird and now my child is weird, that means we are cool".
To everyone: Don't label yourself or wear "weird" like some teenage badge of honor, just be You.
butchenuf says:
I think this is important for the parents of supposedly not-weird kids to read too. I think a lot of parents behave badly because they are afraid their child is going to embarrass them in public by having less than perfect manners or being just a tiny bit weird or loud or whatever. Sometimes they just radiate irritation and impatience, and sometimes they get into a shouting match (or worse) just because of that fear.
Ioonah Wierdkidherself says:
Dear Sacha,
Thank you for this article, I was the weird kid and now have 3, each a different level of being from the 'spectrum of Autisim', to damaged by menigitis, to wild and amazing and unstoppable and 'challenging' to stuck people. Each is so well loved for being who they are, but will never have a 'normal job'. I was the weird kid who read too much off peoples faces and told them things that popped into my head, things that were unspoken but true, till I was silenced. What is it that this world expects such a miracle of life to be tamed to dullness that we cannot be unique and experience it in our special brand of sensory input?
Perfect timing! I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter who lives in the realm of "weird kid". She has SPD and a related language delay. I struggle between apologizing for her and feeling defensive to wanting to shout to the world "f**k yeah, my daughter is quirky and awesome!" In the sea of "normal" kids, my daughter rocks it and does her own thing with a style all her own. As adults we should take more care to celebrate the oddities. Thanks for the reminder!
I like this article. I've got a boy who likes playing with girl toys in down south, football playing Texas. Just yesterday my 3 year old son was asking me if I will hide his Mrs. Potts (from beauty and the beast) mini tea set key ring because he didn't want the boys on the playground to make fun of him, but yet he didn't want to be without his tea set toy either. He also plays with action figures and nerf guns, and all those other "boy" toys. I am so tempted to move away to a more liberal place where people don't act like I'm crazy because my son has zero interest in Little League and enjoys watching Doc McStuffins. I don't think he's weird, just on the gender neutral side. Unfortunately, though, that's "weird" here. 🙁
I was a weird kid and I have a weird kid. He introduces himself by making car noises. (That reminded me of your son hissing.) His vocabulary is off the charts, but he doesn't like to talk to other people, especially kids. He's more vocal with adults. I love how weird and tender and sensitive he is and I see echoes of myself in him. And I love him so much.

Seattle Mom says:
As the mom of a weird kid, I mostly really appreciated this article. But I found it rather ironic that you chose to write this: "The playground is the great equalizer. All kids love to run and jump and play. All kids love to swing…"
Um, no they don't. My kid doesn't like playgrounds, doesn't like to run and jump and explore the equipment. He just doesn't. Never has.
If the point of this article is to make parents of weird kids feel better, this article is going to fail for anyone whose kids are weird in ways that are different from the ways in which *your* kid is weird.
I think the real problem is when we assume that *all* kids are supposed to sit quietly for circle time, or enjoy the playground…or anything really. They're all different. And being "weird" is really about just not conforming to societal expectations about what *all* kids are supposed to do or like.
The problem for me is not so much the weird things my weird kid does: I'm used to it.
The problem is when other adults (at the park, in the neighbourhood) start labelling him as the difficult kid, complaining about him all the time, even for things that are to be expected in any child.
So then you find yourself in the awful position of either trying to get your kid to be more "normal", or having to tell people to bug off, and keep their preposterous expectations to themselves.
I've had a really bad day, and am so tired of dealing with people who should be adults, and are instead just big whiny overgrown babies, and bullies.
Betsy Massie says:
My six year old son is a weird kid. I always worried about him before he started school. Would he make friends? Would he get picked on? Thankfully he made a few buddies and he has chilled out (just a little, not enough to change his awesomeness). I've always worried about taking him to birthday parties or letting him go to a friend's house. He can be hard to deal with if you don't know him and his quirks. But he's special. He's special like all the other weird kids are special. Our weird kids can grow up to be musicians and scientists. Weird kids are inventors and astronauts and aren't afraid to explore the unknown. New things in the world don't come from boring people. New things come from weird kids who grow up to be weird adults that think outside of the box.
Basima says:
Almost cried as I read this. I don't know how many sleepless nights I've spent worrying about my son fitting in to school and social norms. I have nightmares about bullying. I want him to be himself. I've stopped trying to explain his behavior because I've realized that he's a happy boy with a huge imagination that will never follow the crowd. Doesn't stop the worrying at night but it's made my days shine.
Momoftwo says:
I started reading this article and then it hit me that I've read this before! It must have been several years ago when I was also googling "weird kid". Obviously, not much has changed! It's about 95 degrees outside and my son is wearing his three piece suit. It's either the suit and tie or just underpants. There is no in between. My son is 8 years old and in some ways perfectly normal! He loves fidget spinners and Minecraft. He goes swimming (not with the tie) and eats ice cream. But there is the other stuff. He spends hours tinkering in his "workshop". He's freakin' amazing with computers….the guys at the recycling place save parts for him to come collect. He takes them home and makes them work. He ignores people who are speaking to him directly. Today a older lady at the grocery store commented on how nicely he was helping me (dressed to the nines and pushing the cart), but he seems afraid to look at anyone. I told her that he's just shy. Honestly, he's just weird. I wouldn't change a hair on his head. He's got some wonderful gifts, but socialization is always one of them. I hope this leads to the next Bill Gates and not the next guy in his basement with a tin foil hat and a bag of Cheetos.
Jerral Agbayani says:
Isn't abnormality normal? I thought we were supposed to be helping kids not grouping them out and claiming who is weird and who isn't. Weird is defined to me as the abnormality in a society that may not have an explanation. To me I find everyone, even people with syndromes and whatnot, normal. A little friendliness doesn't hurt. Trust me I've known how it felt to be considered 'weird' or 'special' and it pushes a weight on your chest pressuring you to follow the "normal" in a society. That's why we can't have peace. For the kids who are themselves but are finding people to be thinking your weird stay 'weird' because eventually people at one point or another will depend on you.

Many people are still trying to understand just what the heck Social Media is or how to use it for their own brand recognition. However, predictions are that "within 12 months, a full 82 percent of businesses will be using social media to promote their brand and the goods and services they offer consumers", states Patricia Abbate of the Boston Small Business Examiner. A report released today by Equation Research finds that two thirds of marketers are already using Social Media. Small business will find themselves in a unique position to reach larger audiences and big business will be able to expand on their brand recognition using the many tools afford them via Social Media. The amount of Social Media outlets are growing as a staggering pace and it is often difficult to keep up.

Steeplejack
Title: Steeplejack

Collection: Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations
A steeplejack at work.
A steeplejack is a craftsman who scales buildings, chimneys and church steeples to carry out repairs or maintenance.
Steeplejacks erect ladders on church spires, industrial chimneys, cooling towers, bell towers, clock towers, or any other high structure. In the UK, steeplejacks now use a belay rope fall-arrest system (similar to the method used by rock climbers) attached to the ladders as they are erected to eliminate free climbing and greatly reduce the risk of falls from height.
Steeplejacks abseiling on one of the towers of Bamberg Cathedral
Once ladders have been erected, the next stage is usually to suspend a bosun's chair (a strong wooden plank on which the steeplejack can sit, pull himself upwards or lower himself downwards, or sit in a stationary position), but abseil equipment is replacing the bosun's chair on many operations because of its lighter weight.
Once this has been done it is possible to use this access to begin building scaffolding to carry out any repairs which may be required. This is done by fixing anchors into the wall (whether concrete, stone, or brick) and "kicking" the scaffolding off from there.
It is also possible to carry out repairs from "suspended access cradles". These are the same type of rig window cleaners use on skyscrapers. The cradle is suspended from four wires. Two of these run through an electric motor which can "climb" or "descend" the wire, and the other two run freely through a box which allows the cradle to travel upwards with no obstruction, but will stop it instantly if it starts to fall. These "suspended access cradles" are popularly called "swing stages" by their crews.
Steeplejacks are called upon to repair or replace masonry (brick, stone or concrete), carry out general carpentry or painting or roof repair, remove and clean and repair windows, as well as sandblasting and other masonry cleaning tasks.
In Ontario, Canada, many steeplejacks are represented by Local 598 of the OPCMIA union (Operative Plasterers, Cement masons and Restoration Steeplejacks International Association of the United States and Canada), and are required to complete a five-year apprenticeship.
In the UK steeplejack companies may be members of the industry association A.T.L.A.S (Association of Technical Lightning and Access Specialists). Britain's most famous steeplejack was Fred Dibnah, who became a television presenter and minor celebrity as a result of his craft.[1][2]

Many New Zealand organisations are launching significant change programmes, transformations, or new operating models. These initiatives are intended to deliver benefits to customers and organisations, so they involve all parts of a business, and a wide range of stakeholders.
Why then does mentioning 'transformation' or 'operating model' often elicit groans of despair from communications professionals?
Programmes of these magnitude and importance should be some of the most exciting, challenging and significant pieces of work PR people work on.
Change programmes call on all disciplines within the field; internal communications, stakeholder management, media communications, government relations, investor relations, design, social media, risk management, strategy development, and implementation.
Effective communication is critical to the success of these programmes. You have the opportunity to make a difference, and the expectation that you will do so.
Despite this, getting communications teams involved can be challenging.
Sometimes communications staff don't want to work on a programme, or help it communicate about its work. At other times, communications and programme teams work at cross purposes. At worst, they actively work against each other.
Often these differences play out in an all too obvious way, creating distrust, confusion and a lack of communication about what is really important.
It reflects a gap between communications and programme people – a gap partly explained by different backgrounds and roles.
Communications people are often big picture thinkers, interested in concepts, symbolism, and creativity. They tend to think more about external audiences – customers, owners, media. Often they know 'a little bit about a lot', but aren't immersed in detail.
In contrast, programme staff are often about the fine detail, process, and the nuts and bolts of an organisation, as well as strategy. They are often focused on internal stakeholders. And quite often they work at a very 'deep' level across a narrow range of activities – but don't have a sense of the wider picture.
New and experienced communications professionals can sometimes struggle to cope with the transition to working in a programme. That's not meant as a judgment – the culture of change programmes isn't necessarily an ideal one. But 'fit' is a factor that needs to be considered.
These different ways of thinking about an organisation's purpose, make up and work should be complementary, rather than in opposition. Bringing them together is important to ensure change programmes are successful.
What makes the difference is having a team that can work across the organisation and its stakeholders, a team that understands the different people and audiences involved, their strengths (and weaknesses) and that can translate and negotiate between different perspectives.
Organisations should build communications teams that champion strategy and keeps the threads together.

Sunshine, banging DJ sets and up to 5,000 music fans raving into the night - it's safe to say the party's at the Riverside this weekend.
It's the fourth outing for the Riverside Festival, courtesy of The Electric Frog and Pressure - and if Saturday is anything to go by then the sell-out Sunday is bound to be an even bigger party.
Stars Sven Väth, Ben Klock, Rødhåd and Laurent Garnier and local heroes SLAM and Gary Beck were among the highlights outside the Riverside Museum yesterday.
Today, it's over to headliner Fatboy Slim, along with sets from Dimitri From Paris, Jackmaster, Kerri Chandler and DJ Deeon - as well as another day of Heverlee beer, street food and VIPs grabbing a spot inside the Riverside Museum for summer cocktails.
Organisers announced last night that the Sunday sesh is sold out - but for those of you lucky enough to have a wristband, there are eight hours of non-stop beats ahead.
It's a good job you're off work tomorrow.
What's the weather like in Glasgow today?

We all carry about that image of who we once were; or, perhaps of many of the person we once knew. Which memory-bank do we wash upon, once the shores of present images dissipate and the lapping waves of bygone days have begun to fade, like the vestiges of old photographs submitting to time's ravages in the decay of life's cycles of natural degradation?
The person I once knew — was it of the boy who sat upon a beach and giggled as the foam of gentle waves sang upon the tickling bare feet? Or the teenager who had acted like a fool and allowed for regrets to shadow one's conscience for having been unkind to the unpopular girl who later turned into the beautiful swan and sang the merriment of forlorn days away? Or of the young man or woman who had hopes and unlimited dreams that somehow were closeted for a future time, never to be reopened to dust them off when the opportunities had come and gone?
The person I once knew was the one who defied danger and laughed in the face of a greasy cheeseburger, but now is fearful of the next health crisis and the pain that wrings the neck of a squawking chicken.
For the Federal or Postal employee who suffers from a medical condition where the medical condition begins to prevent the Federal or Postal worker's ability and capacity to continue to perform all of the essential elements of one's Federal or Postal job, it is no longer important to consider the person whom once I knew, but rather, the person who will move forward into the future.
Preparing, formulating and filing an effective Federal Disability Retirement application, to be filed with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, whether the Federal or Postal employee is under FERS, CSRS or CSRS Offset, is an indication that the greater importance of one's future self is being recognized as opposed to the person I once knew, thus allowing for the past to be buried in favor of a future still bright with tomorrow's promises.

Trae Young V Luka Doncic – Who Won the Trade?
There is absolutely not denying the 2018 NBA Draft Class had a multitude of talented young players to watch. However, it would be DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley who led the pack as the first and second pick. Hindsight, they say, is always twenty-twenty. It is very easy for us to question some particular picks today (looking at you Mohamed Bamba and Mikal Bridges). But there are two players who have stood out among all else. And looking back, they were ironically enough traded for one another.
The Atlanta Hawks would select Luka Doncic with the third pick in the draft. A couple picks later, the Dallas Mavericks would close in on Trae Young with the fifth pick in the draft. Later that evening, both would be traded for one another. Atlanta ended up with Young, Dallas with Doncic. Remember that hindsight thing? Well, today one could say it was one of the most even sided trade in the history of the NBA. Both teams, in a way, changed their futures completely.
In their first seasons, it was clear who had played professional ball before. Luka wasted no time averaging 21.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG and a solid 6 APG. Trae Young struggled early on, but went on a tear the final few months of the season. He wasn't to far behind, with 19.1 PPG, 8.1 APG, and a pretty astounding 3.1 TPG considering he was a rookie. But this season is playing a completely different tune.
Young is putting up 28 PPG, 8.7 APG, with a .464 FG%. Not to mention he has some ridiculous highlights already. Doncic is at 28.3 PPG, 10.3 RPG, and 9.1 APG. 0.9 APG away from averaging a triple-double. It's also important to remember that Young is 21, while Doncic is 20. Together, they are putting the NBA on watch as they hope to continue their dominance.
The Dallas Morning News
So the question comes forth: who won the trade? Did anyone? Or was this one of those situations that both teams walk away happy? From the standpoint of most NBA Fans, one would be safe to assume both players are excelling because of the trade itself.
No, that does not mean Doncic and Young would be lesser of players if the trade never went through. But I would be willing to bet they wouldn't have evolved at this pace in any other city. Young has made Atlanta his home, and Atlanta has embraced their new star. Dallas, who loves their INTL Players, is already ready to build a statue for Doncic.
Either way, as the future for both these players unfolds it is an exciting time to be a fan of the NBA. June would be a much more enjoyable month if one day, Atlanta and Dallas met in the NBA Finals. Trae Young vs Luka Doncic. Has the intense and competitive rivalry of Magic and Bird reborn with these two? Discuss below!

That evening we had a homecooked meal on the rooftop terrace and then had tea with the owner of the hotel. He was a very nice man who ran the hotel with the help of his nephew and his wife and their daughter (the wife is the one who cooked dinner). We even got to meet his puppy Alice!
The next day we headed to Ephesus after a delicious breakfast on the rooftop. The hotel had a free shuttle (it was only about 3km from where we were staying) that dropped us off around 8:45. I don't have much to actually say about Ephesus other than it was amazing. I will let the photos speak for themselves.
After wandering around in the ruins all morning, we had a bit of time to kill before our 4pm bus to Bodrum. So, we headed to the Ephesus museum - where they took all the cool stuff from Ephesus and surrounding areas.

Allimax® Rescue Spray contains Allisure® AC-23 stabilized allicin and MINT oil and is made from fresh, raw garlic. Allimax® Rescue Spray is manufactured in the EU to Pharmaceutical Standards.
Heads of garlic are specifically selected to ensure that they contain significant enzyme activity (allinase enzyme). Garlic heads are split into cloves, which are left unpeeled and then subjected to crushing, filtration and a temperature controlled extraction process designed to produce pure liquid allicin dissolved in water. No chemical solvents are used. The allicin amino acid in fresh garlic is subjected to complete conversion by the allinase enzyme and to ensure a large volume of active allicin is harvested. The volume of allicin produced is directly related to the enzymatic activity.
Use as often as desired or as directed by your health care provider for maximum health benefits. Refrigerate after opening for best results. For throat and mouth health.
Ingredients: Aqua, Allicin liquid, aroma (peppermint).

In aviation, a control zone (CTR) is a volume of controlled airspace, usually situated below a control area, normally around an airport, which extends from the surface to a specified upper limit, established to protect air traffic operating to and from that airport. Because CTRs are, by definition, controlled airspace, aircraft can only fly in it after receiving a specific clearance from air traffic control. This means that air traffic control at the airport know exactly which aircraft are in that airspace, and can take steps to ensure aircraft are aware of each other, either using separation or by passing traffic information.

In the USA the term control zone is no longer used and has been replaced by airspace class D. Typically it extends 5 miles in diameter with a height of 2500 ft AGL (above ground level) around small commercial airports. Aircraft are required to establish radio contact with the control tower before entering and to maintain in contact while in class D airspace. This implies that an aircraft must be equipped with at least a portable radio to fly in Class D airspace.

In the UK, control zones are normally class D airspace and usually extend from the surface to 2000 ft AGL. They can be observed to be usually rectangular, extending along the axis of the main runway, although irregular shapes may be used where more complex airspace dictates this (see Liverpool and East Midlands). A control area (CTA) is often placed between a CTR and nearby airways to give uninterrupted controlled airspace to airways arrivals and departures.

In Germany, control zones are a special type of class D airspace, called D (CTR). The main difference to the regular German class D airspace is, that within a CTR there is a minimum required cloud ceiling of 1500 ft AGL.
