It was definitely an intense top-of-the-table clash between Melbourne and Cronulla on Thursday night. The Sharks at home always give a real blowtorch reception for visiting teams.
The comments by Sharks coach Shane Flanagan about my team's captain, Cameron Smith, also added a little more fuel to that fire. I'll get back to that in a minute.
It is never an easy road trip going there. The Sharks are a tough, physical side who like a grind. We were expecting it and that's what we got.
I'm not sure they were at their best at the start of the game because we got the jump on them with two quick tries. But we knew the Sharks would come back and, to be quite honest, for most of that second half we were just hanging on.
We were under pressure; they had all the ball, had the field position with nine more sets than us. The penalties at halftime were Cronulla's way 4-3 and they ended up 9-6 to the Sharks.
Storm got the first three penalties, so if you take those away the penalties were 9-3 for the rest of the game. So I found it surprising that Flanagan would come out and talk about "Referee Smith" afterwards.
After we got those first three penalties, I saw Sharks captain Paul Gallen come out and have a chat to the referees. I don't know what that was about, but that's when things seemed to change.
If Flanagan thought we got the best of the referee decisions, after those first three, when it was 9-3 for the rest of the game then he was watching a different game to the one I was watching. I'm not sure where he's coming from with those comments.
If "Referee Smith" was refereeing the game he didn't do much a of a job with it.
Remember Smithy got penalised twice himself and that rarely happens in a game.
Even taking the penalty count total of 9-6 against Storm, that shows Cameron wasn't doing any favours for us. I saw several instances where we could have received a penalty and we didn't.
So I was highly surprised at the comment. I know there is a perception out there that Cameron manages referees, or tries to influence them too much. If he's doing that then he's doing a lousy job because Storm hasn't won too many penalty counts over the past 14 rounds.
So if he's trying to run the game, he needs to pick up his act.
Cameron Smith is obviously a very smart footballer. He has a very thorough knowledge of the game and heaps of experience.
I think the thing that gets under people's skins a bit is that they see Cameron talking to the referees in a decent and respectful manner.
Referees cop some angry words and big sprays from club captains and other players. Granted, many of those come in the heat of the moment in games.
But even in those moments, Cameron is calm and considered with his comments.
So if that is trying to "referee a game", I can't see that at all.
All I see is an intelligent footballer expressing what he has seen happen — his observations of an incident — in a respectful way. And that's not a bad thing for our game. Maybe more captains need to try it.
Then the wrestling comment was aired again. It doesn't bother me much any more.
But it seems every time we play Cronulla, and they win, Flanagan doesn't mention it. When Melbourne wins, he comes out and makes a real point about it.
Again, he's not the only coach in the game that mentions it but he seems to be the most consistent.

For most people, a home is the biggest purchase they will ever make – and one of the most complex. Whether you are a first-time home buyer or moving into a new home, working with the right mortgage lender can make the process seamless, efficient, and simple.
At Columbia Bank, we do everything we can to make the process of getting Pennsylvania mortgages as simple as possible. You can begin the process by applying online and check the status of your application using our easy online system at any time.
Fixed-rate mortgages. With a fixed rate mortgage, you pay the same interest rate for the life of the loan. A fixed rate loan is ideal for when you plan to live in your home for a long time, you want the security of predictable monthly payments, or you want to take advantage of low interest rates.
Adjustable rate mortgages (ARM.) An Adjustable Rate Mortgage offers competitively low interest rates for a fixed term. The rate could change in the future based on market conditions and Pennsylvania mortgage rates, meaning that your payments could increase significantly down the road. However, if you don't plan on living in the home for a long time, an ARM might be the best option for your needs.
As you explore your options, it is also time to find out how much you can afford. Ideally, you should have at least 15-20 percent of the home price available for a down payment, but there are loan programs for buyers who don't have a substantial down payment. In some cases, qualified buyers may be able to secure a loan with as little as 3.5 percent down. Keep in mind, though, that the higher the down payment, the lower your monthly payments. In addition, some lenders require buyers to secure private mortgage insurance (PMI) if they opt for a smaller down payment.
After you submit your pre-approval application, our trained team of mortgage experts will get to work finding the right mortgage product for your needs and walk you through the approval process. You can speed up the process by providing all requested information and documentation on time. Once we have all of your information and you're approved for the loan, we can usually have a closing date for you quickly.
Columbia Bank is registered with the National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry as required by the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (Safe Act).
You have found your home and you are ready to apply for a mortgage loan. As a leading mortgage lender, Columbia Bank is proud to offer an array of sound mortgage products and financing programs. Before you begin our online application, you can take steps to help ensure the process goes as quickly as possible.
Review your credit report and know your score. Columbia Bank offers products for a wide range of credit scores, but the higher your score, the better your interest rate and the lower your payments. Before applying for a mortgage, check your report for errors, and take steps to address negative information.
Gather documentation of your income, assets, and debt. This includes pay stubs, bank statements, investment statements, and bills.
Delay any major purchases. Now is not the time to buy a new car or open any new credit cards.
Congratulations! You have made an offer and it's time to begin closing on your loan! At Columbia Bank, we are committed to closing your loan in 60 days guaranteed or we'll give you $300.** We make the process fast & easy, so you can focus on moving into your new home sooner.
*All residential mortgage loans are subject to approval in accordance with Columbia Bank's lending policies. *Columbia Bank's "Fast Track" preapproval program typically provides a decision within 24 hours or on the next business day for weekends and holidays. This preapproval program is valid for 90 days and is available to borrowers who are not self-employed, are not a business owner and do not own any investment property. The applicant must write in "TBD" on their application in order to be eligible for a Fast Track preapproval which is available for purchase mortgages only.**If your Pennsylvania residential mortgage loan does not close within 60 days or less (including weekends and holidays) of your signed intent to proceed, due to no fault of Columbia Bank, you will receive a $300 VISA® Gift Card at time of loan closing. Offer valid for purchase transactions only.Gift card value will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IS) and a 1099-INT will be issued. For current rates, fees and restrictions, please contact Columbia Bank at (800) 962-4989 or visit ColumbiaBankOnline.com for further details. Offer subject to change without notice. NMLS# 504284.


PostMedia reporter Andrew Duffy penned quite the bombshell article recently regarding Joshua Boyle who was "rescued" from a Taliban kidnapping along with his wife and children back in October.
There were a number of aspects of the story that raised red flags, including that Boyle's ex-wife was Zaynab Khadr, sister of Omar Khadr, but the first gulp-inducing moment – even for those giving him the benefit of the doubt – occurred in January when he was arrested and charged with 15 criminal acts.
In other words, he's an aspiring Islamist.
If her allegations are true, it's all so incredibly disturbing, especially considering that Prime Minister Trudeau, went out of his way late last year to arrange a private meeting with the Boyle clan.
But why? What was Justin thinking making time for this creep?
Regardless of how Trudeau apologists might spin this, that private meeting looked bad then and it looks absolutely horrid now.
Joshua Boyle – the poster boy for the Liberal party. A liar, Muslim convert, terrorist connections, narcissist & idiot.
The spin on this will be quite ludicrous. Our resident feminist Andrew will not weigh in for the woman who was abused.
Is there any similarities to the liberalist globalist wingnuts to the stepford wives?…just asking?
Justin is the one and only PM in Canadian history to befriend and pay terrorists with borrowed taxpayers money . Only in 🇨🇦 !
Too further my comment below..hence we have con man/ con women..
My question is, what attracts her to this loser in the first place? She must have known his history.
Allan, some people have trusting souls/hearts..but no street smarts…not too worldly, Gullible, naive comes to my mind..
Trudeau loves terrorists. To his addled mind, they're romantic figures. This man must be defeated next year or we're doomed.
Moving this one forward to this thread….
PAUL MCCULLOUGH commented 12 hours ago.
I'm with Keith on this one…the only way Canada can be saved is like a hostile takeover in Business..when a Business(Country) like Canada Inc., is flailing and scrambling like a bunch of chickens with their heads chopped off..Someone scoops them up for a deal and turns it around into a viable and prosperous identity again…Including the US Constitution.
Ya know, I hear Conservatives whining about not voting for the CPC because of CINO Scheer, but even if Scheer & the CPC are as Liberal as the Liberals, at least having them in the next term will get Jihad Justin out of office.
But no, Conservatives are determined to split the vote and let Justin screw up our country for another four years. Sad.
Looking forward to Caitlin Coleman's interview on 60 Minutes with all the embarrassing details about her family's little tea party in Little Potato's office.
Boyle deserves a medal, he managed to grab Trudeau's attention, who went to visit him at his misogynistic (there's that word again) Manor and in doing so lowered himself down to the level of a Fuzzy Muzzy.
Trudeau is missing the "common sense" gene. He bought this story hook, line and sinker. The public were not that trusting. The article is right, in January we had confirmation of our original mistrust. And now this latest news. When I heard that Caitlyn had gone home to the USA I knew that the "more to the story" was happening.
I hope that this situation is investigated thoroughly, and that Joshua pays the full penalty for his role.
Boyle couldn't keep his story straight; initially he said he traveled to Afghanistan to deliver humanitarian aid (from where exactly is a complete mystery?!!), more recently, he claimed he was looking for story ideas for his "journalism".

Get to know a draft pick — Ivan Provorov
By Ryan DadounJun 23, 2015, 10:55 AM EDT
Like we've done in the past, we're profiling top prospects who may hear their names called Friday in the first round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. But this year, something new — we're featuring special guest analysis from former Minnesota Wild scout Mark Seidel, who currently serves as the president of North American Central Scouting.
Ivan Provorov (D)
Height: 6'0 Weight: 201 Shoots: Left
Team: Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL)
NHL Central Scouting ranking: No. 7 among North American Skaters
What kind of player is he?
An all-around great defenseman.
Provorov can be an impact player with the puck, as he demonstrated last season with his 15 goals and 61 points in 60 WHL contests, but he's just as effective defensively. He's capable of playing a physical game and his high hockey IQ leads to him taking advantage of opportunities at both ends of the ice.
He's a potential top-10 pick and some might wonder if he'll, justifiably or not, end up being past over by some teams that fear he'll eventually bolt to the KHL. However, Provorov hasn't followed the same path as many of the other high end Russian-born players as he came to North America in his early teens. In fact, he passed up an opportunity to join his hometown Lokomotiv Yaroslavl when he opted to join the Wheat Kings, so he's already shown that the NHL is his desired destination.
Seidel says:
"Provorov burst onto the scene this year for the Wheat Kings. The Russian defenseman has a complete game, but it's his offensive skill set that got scouts excited — he makes great passes, can rush the puck when opportunities present themselves and possesses a big shot from the point on the power play. The big question? If his size will prevent him from becoming a star in the NHL. As for concerns about drafting a Russian high in the first round, it would be a moot point with Provorov — he's played in North America his entire career, with no inclination of returning to Russia."

With the Lions' season over, it's time to heal.
It's uncertain which body part was surgically repaired. He missed one game in 2014 and that was back on Oct. 5. He didn't play like he was injured.
Right tackle LaAdrian Waddle announced his surgery on Twitter and also that he started his last two classes to graduate from Texas Tech.
Waddle missed a half-dozen games in 2014 with a concussion also calf and ankle injuries. But it was a knee injury on Dec. 14 that ended his season prematurely.

Q: Parse - Using Local Datastore with Relations My situation includes having PFObjects that are connected with relations and I want to add to the relation using the local datastore.
So, I have a screen that creates a main object and saves it to the data store and server properly like so:
// Save User
PFObject *parseUser = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"Users"];
parseUser[@"name"] = name;
parseUser[@"uuid"] = userUuid;
[parseUser saveEventually];

// Save List
PFObject *parseList = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"Lists"];
parseList[@"name"] = newList.listName;
parseList[@"uuid"] = newList.listUuid;
[parseList saveEventually];

[parseUser pinInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
    if (succeeded) {
        // Create relation
        PFRelation *relation = [parseUser relationForKey:@"listAccess"];
        [relation addObject:parseList];
        [parseUser saveEventually];
    }
}];

[parseList pinInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
    if (succeeded) {
        // Create relation
        PFRelation *relation = [parseList relationForKey:@"sharedWith"];
        [relation addObject:parseUser];
        [parseList saveEventually];
    }
}];

So this part works. This took me a bit to figure out as well, but it works. Creates the User and List. Sets the relations of both then saves. Easy.
On to the problem area:
// Save List
PFObject *parseList = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"Lists"];
parseList[@"name"] = newList.listName;
parseList[@"uuid"] = newList.listUuid;
[parseList saveEventually];

PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Users"];
[query fromLocalDatastore];
[query whereKey:@"uuid" equalTo:[User instance].userUuid];
[[query findObjectsInBackground] continueWithBlock:^id(BFTask *task) {
    if (task.error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", task.error);
        return task;
    }

    PFObject *user = [task.result objectAtIndex:0];

    // Create relation
    PFRelation *relation = [user relationForKey:@"listAccess"];
    [relation addObject:parseList];
    [user saveEventually];

    PFQuery *relationQuery = [relation query];
    [[relationQuery findObjectsInBackground] continueWithBlock:^id(BFTask *task) {

        NSLog(@"resutls: %@", task.result);

        return task;

    }];

    [parseList pinInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
        if (succeeded) {
            // Create relation
            PFRelation *relation = [parseList relationForKey:@"sharedWith"];
            [relation addObject:user];
            [parseList saveEventually];
        }
    }];

    return task;
}];

So what I am thinking I am doing here is grabbing the user from the local data store and adding another relation to it. But in reality, this actually is only saving the parseList to user relation. User doesn't get changed in the datastore or the server.
Other things I've tried:

*

*Querying just the server

*Pinning the User object with a name

*EDIT: includeKey (This doesn't work as the include isn't a PFObject.)

Thanks for the help in advance.
Edit:
Looking through the query and relation grabs I get some weird data information.
So, first off, the relation is empty when searching through it like so:
estimatedData
   0 - name - Bill Nye
   1 - listAcces - no summary
      value - PFRelation
         knownObjects - 0 objects
   2 - uuid - long string that is uuid
So this matches the server stuff, all besides the relation. But, when I query the relation and log it, I get this:
resutls: (
    " {\n    name = Okkkkk;\n    sharedWith = \" Users>\";\n    uuid = \"D8174D80-4F08-4B25-9B72-F8E00CF19DDB\";\n}"
)
So querying it, it is there, but it doesn't exist to the relation?

Follow this map to see the points of interest along Mohawk Trail.
The hilliest section of Route 2 and the country's first scenic "auto route," the Mohawk Trail runs through the Berkshire Hills in northwestern Massachusetts and offers a satisfying excursion.
In 1914 the most mountainous miles of the Mohawk Trail were graded and specifically dedicated to auto touring. This stretch begins in the small city of North Adams and zigzags its way up the Hairpin Turn to the western summit of Hoosac Mountain. It runs eastward along heavily wooded ridges, then drops into the long-settled Deerfield Valley, and finally descends into the broad Connecticut River Valley.
In 1914 the fastest way from North Adams to Boston was by rail, via the 4.5 mile Hoosac Tunnel, itself considered a wonder when it opened in 1875. By 1914, however, cars were becoming affordable and folks were eager to break away from the dictates of the rails, to stop and go where they wished.
The challenge of driving over rather than riding through Hoosac Mountain drew families -- driving their first cars -- from throughout the Northeast. Recognized as a destination in its own right from the 1920s through the 1950s, this initial stretch of the Mohawk Trail sprouted tea shops and motor courts, trading posts and campgrounds, both private and state.
In the 1960s vacation patterns and highway routes changed. The 1965 opening of the Massachusetts Turnpike (Route 90) knocked an hour off the time it takes to cross the state and further back-roaded Route 2. The Mohawk Trail's vintage lookout towers, motor courts, tearooms, and trading posts faded.
For a decade or so now the tourist tide has once more been turning. White-water rafters on the Deerfield River are filling the old roadside lodging places, and bed-and-breakfasts draw travelers into the surrounding hills.
The village of Shelburne Falls, long known for its Bridge of Flowers, has become a showcase for the area's many craftspeople and chefs. Once more the Mohawk Trail is becoming a destination, this time for travelers who appreciate its layerings of history as well as its natural beauty.
The Mohawk Trail, travelers can take it slow and enjoy the view, or you can spend days exploring its side roads and villages, hiking its open public lands.
Greenfield, North Adams: Find out what there is to do in these cities along Mohawk Trail.
Scenic Drives: Are you interested in scenic drives beyond Massachusetts? Here are more than 100 scenic drives throughout the United States.
Considerations: Mid-October through early May conditions may be treacherous due to ice and snow, but the road never closes.


Kim vowed in Singapore to work towards denuclearization but the two sides have yet to define a deal to meet that goal and Washington insists sanctions pressure must be maintained during negotiations.
The North Korean statement followed comments this week by top American diplomats stressing the need for Pyongyang to take additional steps towards denuclearization and contentious remarks last week by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korean Foreign Minster Ri Yong Ho on the sidelines of a regional summit in Singapore.
Bolton, who spoke on Tuesday, said Trump, in a letter to Kim, proposed sending Pompeo back to North Korea, and that Trump was ready to meet with Kim any time.
Ri travelled this week to Iran, where President Hassan Rouhani told him the United States cannot be trusted after the Trump administration reneged on a 2015 deal to lift sanctions in return for curbs on Iran's own nuclear programme.
U.S. officials have declined to comment on a report on the Vox news website on Wednesday saying that North Korea had repeatedly rejected a U.S. proposal for it to cut its nuclear arsenal by 60 to 70 per cent within six to eight months.

Q: Identifier has already been declared error I'm getting this error when using sample code from the up and going book in the ydkjs series. Can anyone help me out? The error is
Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'ACCESSORY_PRICE' has already been declared
    at :1:1
const ACCESSORY_PRICE = 9.99;
var bank_balance = 302.13;
var amount = 99.99;

amount = amount * 2;

// can we afford the extra purchase?
if ( amount < bank_balance ) {
    console.log( "I'll take the accessory!" );
    amount = amount + ACCESSORY_PRICE;
}
// otherwise:
else {
    console.log( "No, thanks." );
}

A: You are using an environment where executing the very same code twice (or more) doesn't allow you to redeclare already declared consts.
I can easily reproduce the code in Chrome's console, in the Sources/Snippets section. Executing the code for the first time works as expected. Executing it again raises the error as the const is already defined by the prior execution.
Assuming the Chrome's console (or similar) is your environment, one of the workarounds is to hit F5 to refresh the page under the console and rerun the script.
Another, disputably cleaner workaround is to switch to another environment where mutliple executions of the same code have no such unexpected effects.

A: You can't re-declare a const. This error says you already declared ACCESSORY_PRICE. Remove the second const ACCESSORY_PRICE or var ACCESSORY_PRICE or let ACCESSORY_PRICE.

The Order of the Eastern Star has a tangled history. Originally conceived as an American form of Adoptive Masonry as early as the 1840s, it took until 1876 for the General Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, to be formed; and there are at least two separate organizations that both say that they are dedicated to the unification of all Eastern Stars, but which lead a separate existence from the General Grand Chapter and were founded in 1947 and 1962 respectively. There is also an African-American organization, dating from the days when American Masons officially barred blacks from membership.
The General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star was founded in 1876. It currently extends worldwide, in association (where appropriate) with the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland. It is open to Master Masons in good standing, and their female relatives over the age of 18 years. There were 2,087,063 members in 1994.
Robert Morris, Master Mason, schoolteacher and poet, first attempted in the 1840s to establish Adoptive Masonry in the United States, using a ritual of his own devising. At first reviled by fellow Masons for betraying Masonic secrets, he nevertheless persisted and throughout the 1850s conferred various degrees on female relatives of Master Masons, with varying levels of cooperation from other Master Masons. His Families of the Eastern Star dated from 1857.
Real acceptance was slow in coming, and it was not until Morris's rituals were revised by the Masonic publisher Robert Macoy in 1866 that any greater success came. Macoy added the degrees of Queen of the South, Past Matron's Degree and the Amaranth Degree. Even then, it was 10 years before the Central Grand Chapter was organized, and the Grand Lodge of England still does not admit that the Eastern Star has anything to do with Freemasonry. Indeed, the U.G.LE. has in the past threatened with expulsion any Master Mason who receives any O.E.S. Degree or serves as Worthy Patron.
The order as now constituted works five degrees, based on the story of five women in the Bible — an example of the way in which organizations adhering to deism have become progressively more Christian in the United States, especially where women are involved. The slogan of the order is, "We have seen His star in the East, and are come to worship Hun." The order even awards scholarships to those involved in religious training.
The initial choice of characters certainly seems strange to an outsider, as Adah was a human sacrifice, and Jepthah the Gileadite appears from the description in Judges 11 to have been an outstandingly unattractive and inflexible fellow. In return for being allowed to win a battle against the "children of Ammon," he promised Jehovah to slaughter as an offering the first thing that came to greet him when he returned home (verses 30—31). He was apparently expecting his daughter's pet lamb, but the daughter beat the lamb to the portals. He was, therefore, convinced he ought to kill her.
Equally strangely, she wished to go to the mountains to bewail her virginity (verses 37—38), which he permitted; and when she came back two months later, not having had the sense to stay away, he killed her. It is one of the most unedifying passages in Holy Writ.
Much the same form of ceremony is used for all five degrees, which are very milk-and-water compared with the Masonic originals: no swords pointed at bared breasts, no tongues torn out and bodies buried at the tide-line. A further degree, Queen of the South, is honorary.
Answer: "Lovely. Fairest — among — ten thousand —altogether lovely.
Note that it is the Mason who interrogates the woman, reinforcing her position of inferiority. It is not hard to sympathize with the U.G.L.E. in its disdain for the order.
Functionally, the Order of the Eastern Star is something between a female version of Masonry in its own right, and an organization riding on the shirt-tails of Masonry; one cannot help wondering how many women would join without the prompting of husbands, fathers, and other male relatives.
Charitable giving includes scholarships for students in religious training, and more.
Another branch or sect of the Eastern Star is the Federation of Eastern Stars, founded in 1962 and purportedly dedicated to the unification of Eastern Star orders worldwide. It had 105,000 members in 1994 and was a female auxiliary of Federation of Masons of the World.
The Federation of Eastern Stars of the World was founded 15 years earlier, in 1947, and is also purportedly dedicated to the unification of Eastern Star orders worldwide. It had 57,000 members in 1994.
With such a strong fraternal spirit — two separate organizations dedicated to unity (but not with each other) and both separate from the main body, to say nothing of excluding the Prince Hall (Black) Order—it is not surprising that the Eastern Star is in decline. The total membership given above is under 2.6 million, which is less than the membership of the General Grand Chapter alone in the 1970s.
The Order of the Constellation of the Junior Stars is the juvenile arm of the Eastern Star.
This order has never been active in The Netherlands. before founding a Dutch female order, the Order of Weavers (Orde Vitae Feminea Textura), the founders had an idea of starting a Dutch branch of the O.E.S. This, however, was prohibited by the Dutch Grand Orient.
In 1921 the degree of Amaranth became a separate order.
From the Order of the Eastern Star, a organization for young girls was founded: the Order of Rainbow for Girls. There is also the Order of Job's Daughters for girls between 13-19, of which many girls join at a later age the O.E.S.

Made of gelcoat, fiberglass, resin and silicone rubber, the suite of works form "a collection of 8 pieces of personal adornment that would not be specifically categorised as jewellery or accessories. The idea was to step out of the traditional jewellery/accessories context in order to develop a 'new breed' of precious objects that can be exhibited both separately on their own and fully attached to the human body."

The monument consists of the remains of a boundary wall incorporating the remains of at least two structures which may be small houses.
The wall, which is probably prehistoric in date, runs from the cliff edge to the W of Ulishield, along the S flank of the hill almost to the edge of the cliff at Jivy Geo, where it turns sharply to the S and runs downslope to the Burn of Wirvie, a total distance of 550m. It is formed of large upright blocks, and may once have been the footing of a turf or masonry wall. Near its west end it is partly submerged and eroded in a small loch, but the likely route of the wall through the loch is included for the sake of completeness.
After the sharp turn, the section of wall running downslope to the burn is more thickly covered with vegetation than the rest, resembling an earthen bank for part of its course. There are two expansions in the wall which appear to be contemporary, and may be ruined houses. One, the more westerly, is about 13.5m across overall, with an oval interior obscured by rubble but possibly having at least one alcove in the internal wall-face. The second is about 9m across and more ruinous.
The area to be scheduled consists of a strip 20m wide (10m on either side of the centre-line of the wall) and approximately 550m long, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract. The scheduled area is split into two parts by the road leading to the N end of the island.
The monument is of national importance as an unusual example of a boundary, which incorporates two possible dwellings or similar domestic structures. This combination of boundary and dwellings suggests that there may be considerable structural complexity preserved within the monument, with the potential to provide important information about the establishment and development of prehistoric agricultural settlement.

"What? Me? I'd rather not." He paused. "I don't have any ability to judge."
"Oh, that is not true," returned the quick reply, tinged now with a hint of sarcasm. "You have already proven yourself very capable, even in our short time together. And besides, you have judged many throughout your life. You have judged the actions and even the motivations of others, as if you somehow knew what those were in truth. You have judged the color of skin and body language and body odor. You have judged history and relationships. You have even judged the value of a person's life by the quality of your concept of beauty. By all accounts, you are quite well practiced in the activity."

Confronting The Hostile: Book Four of The Hostile series by Joy Mutter
A retired Irish superintendent and his former colleague, a handsome DCI from Liverpool, attempt to rid themselves and the world of their lethal tile masters. Will they succeed in reclaiming their freedom, or will the bizarre killing games continue? Set in Manchester, Liverpool, and Ireland. Confronting The Hostile is book 4 in The Hostile series of unusual paranormal crime thrillers.
About Joy Mutter:
Joy Mutter was born in Jersey in the Channel Islands and lived there for eighteen years. She moved to Kent and worked as a professional graphic designer for over twenty years. Joy moved to Oldham in 2012 where she's been writing, designing, and publishing her books full-time ever since. Although she's been writing books since 2007, Joy waited until 2015 to publish six of them on Amazon. Four more books followed in 2016, two in 2017, and one in 2018. All thirteen are now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. Nine are also available as audiobooks on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon. Her first three books are mainly autobiographical and form The Mug Trilogy. Books in this series are A Slice of the Seventies, The Lying Scotsman, and Straws. Potholes and Magic Carpets is a contemporary novel. Living with Postcards is the author's first non-fiction book. Random Bullets is a paranormal crime thriller. Her demonic Angel and other short stories was published in 2016, along with The Hostile, and Holiday for The Hostile. The Hostile Game, and Confronting The Hostile were published in 2017. The Hostile Series Box Set contains all four books in The Hostile series of paranormal crime thrillers. There is an audiobook version of each book in the Hostile series. In 2018, Joy published The Trouble With Liam, a psychological crime thriller, and is now working on two other thrillers.
This is the last of the Hostile series which has a stupendously monstrous conclusion. I'm not going to go into detail about the plot because it could be a spoiler for the earlier books. Having bought the books individually, I'm going to recommend that readers purchase the box set, because after reading the first book you will be wanting more. What was special for me about the series was that each book is not more of the same, the story steps up to new horrors beyond the realms of nightmares. However, there is a lot of humour in this book, and the ghosts interactions with each other are dead funny (excuse the pun). I can't think of any book that I could compare this to which makes it unique, and as an avid reader, uniqueness is what I crave. I have a long to be read list ahead of me, but I'll certainly be adding author Joy Mutter somewhere near the top of that list. Joy by name and a joy to read.

SOLID LOGISTICS STRUCTURE FOR RAPID ORDER PROCESSING AT THE BILSTEIN GROUP
SSI SCHAEFER is providing a reliable foundation for an efficient logistics operation for the spare parts specialist bilstein group, with a steel structure from its own production line to create an automated miniload system and racking installations.
The bilstein group, based in Ennepetal, Germany, is investing in an additional logistics center at its Gelsenkirchen site in order to ensure the global availability of its products and services, both now and in the future. The leading specialist in the independent aftermarket for passenger cars and commercial vehicles is once again counting on the manufacturing expertise of the reliable partner and intralogistics expert, SSI SCHAEFER, for the construction of this in-house steel structure for manual and fully automatic systems.
Equipped for the Future in Dynamic Markets
The bilstein group, now in the seventh generation of family ownership, is headquartered in the town of Ennepetal in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and brings together the brands of febi, SWAG, and Blue Print under one roof. The company supplies wholesalers and repair shops with more than 60,000 different spare parts and repair kits, helping to keep drivers of cars and commercial vehicles around the world moving. "Our industry is constantly changing," says Felix Wortmann, Project Manager at the bilstein group.
"The new structure in Gelsenkirchen will help us to significantly increase our logistics capacities, something which is particularly important as we develop our company to be fit for the future. This second, fully automatic German logistics center will help make us even more customer friendly and enable us to continue to reliably supply our quality products to wholesalers."
Alongside the high availability of their range of products, another objective of this project was to achieve reliable and rapid order processing using sophisticated technologies. When it came to awarding the contract for the in-house steel structure for the various manually operated racking installations and the fully automated miniload system, the bilstein group once again opted in favor of SSI SCHAEFER, the world's leading provider of warehouse and logistics systems.
Intralogistics Steel Construction as the Foundation for Efficient Logistics Organization
It has been full steam ahead with the installation work at Gelsenkirchen since August 2020. As intralogistics specialists, SSI SCHAEFER were directly contracted by the bilstein group and are responsible for manufacturing and installing the steel structure for the automated miniload system, a mobile rack system, a wide-aisle warehouse, a pallet flow rack, and a bin conveying system platform. "Manufacturing expertise is extremely important when it comes to steel structures, as these form the basic framework for an efficient intralogistics system," emphasizes Vanessa Henrich, Head of Product Management, Product Line Steelwork High Bay Warehouse, at SSI SCHAEFER.
"Helping to ensure a project runs smoothly is not just about complying with the relevant standards and legal requirements. When paving the way for future expansions, it's also important to take additional aspects into account at an early stage, such as optimal usage of the hall space and a high degree of scalability."
Reliable Partnership
Given the ambitious schedule leading up to commissioning, there was also a need for fast communication. In this situation, SSI SCHAEFER acts a central contact for the large part of the steel structure, supplying all the components required from a single source; having fewer points of contact saves time and costs. "We have worked on projects with SSI SCHAEFER before and have found them to be a strong and reliable partner who think in the long term and work with us as equals," adds Felix Wortmann. These factors are important, as the ultimate aim is to remain competitive in a dynamic sector.
Keeping One Eye on the Finishing Line: Completion of Steel Construction by mid-2021/Commissioning by mid-2022
So far, the project has not suffered any interruptions to the implementation of the tightly scheduled level plan due to the coronavirus pandemic. Together with the planner and SAP EWM general contractor responsible for the planning, development, and implementation of the overall intralogistics, all the partners are working hand in hand to achieve the goal of starting operations at the new logistics center by mid-2022. As Vanessa Henrich puts it, the steel structure will then act as the foundation or a type of "racetrack" on which the other intralogistics components will later safely and quickly carry out the warehousing and transportation tasks assigned to them, and will help to ensure the bilstein group's delivery capabilities

This northern elephant seal pup rescued from Point Arena in Mendocino County. He still had a full black coat, indicating he was very young, since elephant seals shed their black coats a few weeks after birth. He had become separated from his mother, and was dehydrated and malnourished upon admission to our hospital. Most pups are fed fish milkshakes (ground up fish mixed with multi-milk formula and salmon oil) until they are at least one month old, but Cueball was very unique because he started eating solid fish just five days after being rescued. Cueball's spunkiness earned him the Center's title of Animal of the Year. Within a month of his rescue, a fat and healthy Cueball was released at Point Reyes National Seashore.
Thank you for your generous donation and for making a difference in the life of a marine mammal like this former patient.


We might fly to 34 fantastic destinations around the globe, but here at Virgin Atlantic we're equally enthralled with London and the rest of the UK, and if there's ever been a year to celebrate all things British, it's 2012.
But sometimes, especially when the weather is endlessly dreary, it's easy to become complacent about the things we take for granted. So in the run-up to the first huge event of the summer – the Queen's Diamond Jubilee – we've sought out a new perspective on these fair isles by asking some Brit-based expatriates for their take on UK life.
So what's so great about living in Britain?
It's easy to forget that some of the most ingrained and fundamental aspects of British life are what make this nation so unique. When we asked our expats what they loved most about living in Britain, we got some enlightening replies. For journalist and doctoral student Emma Lundin, originally from Malmö in Sweden, it's our sense of decorum that gets top marks.
And who would've thought our food would be something to write home about? For ex-New Yorker Matt Pincus, a tax lawyer who's been working for a US firm in London for a year and a half, it's been a revelation.
Originally from the San Francisco bay area, writer and vtravelled contributor Alex Robertson Textor agrees about the food and holds plenty of our other idiosyncrasies in high regard too.
But for 16 year old magazine apprentice Keiller Hipkin, who moved to rural Oxfordshire with her family from a small town near Melbourne, Australia last year, it's all about the people.
Matt's head-scratching is over something rather more mundane. "I still don't understand why this country hasn't been able to import the clothes-drying technology that works so well in much of the rest of the world. I've yet to find a clothes dryer here that actually works." Did no-one tell you that we all still use mangles, Matt?
We'll leave the final word to Emma though, because it's an important one. "Fish-finger sandwiches," she says. "I still don't understand the appeal." What? Emma, you're missing out!
Are you an expat living in the UK? What do you love most about living here? What drives you crazy? What do you miss most about your home country? We'd love to hear about your experiences so please do leave a comment below.
And let's not forget all those Brits who are expats themselves. We'd love to know more about where you live too. What are the best things about your new home? Do you miss anything about the UK? Please share your stories, tips and resources for future expats below.
And finally – on the subject of resources, here's something fabulous for our USA-based Brits: Mind the Gap is a brand new blog from BBC America, launched in association with Virgin Atlantic, with the sole mission of helping would-be British expats make the jump across the pond and navigate seamlessly through the land of opportunity, all written by those who have been there and done it already.
Mind the Gap will sit alongside BBC America's existing blog Anglophenia, which has built a strong and engaged following obsessed with the cultural differences and similarities between America and the UK.
Whether you're embarking on a new life or heading home to your old one, visit Virgin Atlantic for flights to the USA, Australia, South Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
