The dead man has been identified as Uriel Reynolds. The accident occurred just after 9 pm along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
A 31-year-old father of one became the country's latest road accident victim on Tuesday night when a 4×4 pickup slammed into the bus that he was driving.
The dead man has been identified as Uriel Reynolds. The accident occurred just after 9pm along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
Reynolds was heading home to Linden when the speeding 4×4 pick-up that was being driven in the opposite direction slammed into a vehicle in front of him before slamming into the vehicle he was driving.
The young man was picked up at the scene in an unconscious state and rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Eyewitnesses said both of his legs appeared to have been crushed by the impact of the collision and he also suffered multiple head injuries.
The driver of the 4×4 pick-up has since been arrested as the investigations into the matter are ongoing.

A: Change
if (((String) directroy[i]).endsWith("txt"))

to
if ((directroy[i]).getName().endsWith("txt"))

Edit:
long size = directroy[i].getSize();//get file size

long getSize(): gets file size in bytes.

Bob Katter Jr was born 22 May 1945 in Cloncurry, Queensland. He has been the federal Member for Kennedy in Queensland since 1993, following a highly successful career in state politics where he held four ministerial positions.
Katter follows in his father's footsteps as the Member for Kennedy, with Hon. R.C. Katter Sr. holding the seat for 24 years. Originally a National Party member for most of his parliamentary career, due to his disenchantment with economic rationality that he felt the National Party was adopting, he chose to stand as an Independent member in the 2001 federal election, where he won his seat in a landslide.
Bob is married, with children and grandchildren.

Q: Can't open .py file from Spyder after downloading Anaconda Navigator Even after looking through numerous topics about this matter, I have been unable to find a solution for my predicament.
I have recently downloaded Anaconda navigator v.1.7.0 from which I can use Spyder v3.2.6 has an IDE. I would like to open .py scripts from file explorer with Spyder has default, but when I go in 'open with' and click on spyder.exe in C:\Anaconda\Scripts, all I get is a black console window that closes instantaneously. Can anybody help me out on this matter?
I note that I can drag and drop .py files on the Spyder console directly, but has previously mentioned by other users, this feels a little awkward and cumbersome.
From How to get Spyder to open python scripts (.py files) directly from Widows Explorer, I have tried manipulating the spyder-script.py in regedit but to no avail.
This is a similar issue but doesn't seem pertinent for the current case:  WinPython Cannot run .py files directly (without spyder)
These two threads precisely discuss about what I'm trying to do:

*

*How to read a .py file after I install Anaconda? But no good answer

*Set Spyder as default Python and there are comments that talk about creating a spyder.dat file, but I have no idea on how to do this and I can't find any proper documentation on it.

I also took a look at this: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/466 and this https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/971 but I can't make sense of the exchanges
Could the answer be with the spyder.dat file? Or maybe with something else? That's what I'd like to know.
Cheers

Gangs of Wasseypur - Truly a Magnum opus
by Divya Joshi
Gangs of Wasseypur - A master presentation, truly a magnum-opus by Anurag Kashyap which displays the finest work of instincts and drama.The movie is quite slow throughout so if you expect it to be fast and melodramatic and try to judge it by the promos and sizzling trailors - you are certainly wrong ! and to those who still believe that its the same as the likes of Rowdy Rathore with a slight desi touch - are still living under shadows.
The Cinematography is unexampled and it supports the story to the core , the trans desi language from Bihari to awadhi and Bhojpuri adds to the taste. Moreover the artists are anatomists of stage and theatre and hence their work has come out with flying colours. The dialogue delivery is schematized to perfection and the profanity envolved does the magic, it enthralls all the desi lovers who have trolled into the multiplex for the very first time. The expressions of lust and anger are fabulous and its Manoj Baajpayi who could bring the character of 'Sardaar' to life.The traditionally mixed desi songs are umatchable and they have been thoroughly researched specially 'Oo womaniya' and 'Im a hunter'. 'Teri keh ke lunga' is an additional background tadka.
All in all its a family movie , but make sure you dont go with your family :p
A few would recognise Tigmanshu Dhulia who has played the role of 'Ramadhir Singh' and is known very well for his fine works like - 'Haasil' , 'Saheb Biwi aur Gangster' and 'Paan Singh Tomar' , this time the director turned actor has marvelled in acting as well and has performed finely.
'Wasseypur' is a small town adjacent to (now in the middle of ) Dhanbad, the movie originates from Wasseypur as it was the heart of coal mines and factories. The movie is a class, it is minutely researched and circumstantially planned, the story revolves around the downfall of colonisation in India, where the Coal and Scrap mafias could be seen growing and are are busy flaunting their prowess and thereby generating business. Regionalism and Communism have taken after Nationalisation of industries and business types. The story engulfs 'Sardaar Khan' (Manoj Baajpayi) who swore vengeance on the man who betrayed his father 'Shahid Khan' and murdered him out of insecurity.
'Sardaar Khan' proves to be a fearless phantom and starts eliminating Ramadhir Singh's gang one by one .....and then...........
If I write ahead it will be unfair - both for the geniality and essence of the movie, so its much better if you go and perceive the very sense of the movie on your own. I cant bet that you would not regret, a person with sense and understanding of regional trends and the history would certainly admire the flick. Moreover even if you would not understand it, yet you enjoy but in part..........
Note: I repeat again, its a very good and sensible movie with core profanity and admirably disgusted gestures of states like Bihar......and all in all its a family movie ........... but Don't go with your family, else the enjoyment goes in vain............. ;)

We have gone to great lengths to improve our website and make it more relevant. I must congratulate the team that made this possible, as I realize that a lot of hard work was undertaken to ensure that the website meets the expectations of our visitors to this site. There has been a renaissance in Environmental Health both in South Africa and internationally, which is based on new evidence of the inextricable link between people and the environment. Therefore colleagues, it becomes critical to ensure that we, Environmental Health Practitioners are well equipped and able to meet these new challenges facing our noble profession.


I am trying to find information on my grandmother's family. She came to NY approx. in 1916, to help her father, who supposedly was in poor health. My mother told me that she with her father to see doctors in the US, and that when he returned to Ireland, she stayed. After looking on various ship manifests into Ellis Island, I believe she was from Jonesborough Ireland. Her name was Mary Catherine Grant, and she has brothers and sisters who were in Ireland. The family was in farming, and at least one sister became a nun.


Local indie noise pop trio STAR have great taste in music. A while ago they previewed a sweet cover of "I'll Do It Anyway" by the Lemonheads on their MySpace site, and now they've put up their brand new take on a rather obscure track by Big Star frontman Alex Chilton called "Rock Hard."
STAR's 2007 album "Devastator" - an exploration of wall of sound and shoegaze somewhere in-between The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Ronettes - was one of my favorite records of the year. Particularly notable were the dreamy vocals of Shannon Roberts, whose detached, commanding lows and angelic highs gave the tunes an extra ethereal feel.
Roberts and the band take a slightly more playful approach on the under-two-minute "Rock Hard," which does just what its title suggests and offers up some noisy fun you'll want to put on repeat. If the song is any indication of what's on tap for the band's upcoming second album, "Violence Against STAR," there's a lot more to look forward to.
Download "Rock Hard" on STAR's MySpace site, and catch them live July 19 at Quenchers and July 26 at the Abbey.

CEZ plans to expand a fast charging network across the eastern European nations, as the company estimates that about 10,000 EVs will be on Czech roads alone by 2020, with 250,000 expected in 2030. In response to the growing e-mobility trends, the company will begin expanding before the year is out, planning to double their current charging stations in operation for a total of over 150 by the end of 2019.
The fast charging network, which will comprise of 50 kW fast chargers capable of serving both CHAdeMO and CCS standards, will cost around 1 billion Czech crowns, or about $44 million over the next ten years. About half the financing is expected to come from subsidies from the various nations involved. CEZ is also looking at opportunities for acquisitions to help speed up their growth.


When you think of pilgrimage, you think of traveling to a special place.
It might be a place of great personal interest or of profound historical or religious significance. One who goes on a pilgrimage might be seeking beauty, or blessing or a miracle. It might be the place of an early childhood memory, the homestead of an ancestor, or the grave of a loved one.
Wherever this journey takes you it is a holy place, a place of personal reflection that inspires, shapes and moves you to a place of greater growth as a person and deeper into the heart of God..
For us as Christians, Holy Communion is a pilgrimage back to the foot of the cross. Whether we celebrate the Lord's Supper weekly, monthly, or more or less often, it should be a pilgrimage. As we come to the foot of the Cross in Holy Communion we remember, we ponder, we meditate, not just on the fact of Christ's death, but also on what was accomplished on the Cross, the benefits of His death and what that means to us in everyday life.
... the list could go on and on.
It's all because of the Cross! These are the types of things we should remember when we come to the Table of the Lord.
As we make a pilgrimage to the foot of the Cross in Holy Communion, meet us there. And may the benefits, accomplishments, and victories of the Cross, be lived out through each and everyone who professes Your Name. Amen.
The picture here is of the tabernacle. There is at least a sense of awareness that people are gathering in the Name of Yahweh. I imagine busyness, the noise of people, the noise and smell of animals being brought for sacrifice, commotion, much activity and, perhaps an atmosphere of celebration as people draw near with thanksgiving and praise. This was good. This was necessary.
This was the outer court.
There was and is another place, a holy place, the Holiest of Places, where none of those outer court practices will be tolerated. The Overwhelming Presence demands, requires, compels: silence, reverence, a breathtaking sense of awe as we approach with holy fear... the very throne of God. There... the Almighty speaks to us and we are... broken so we can be made whole, humbled so we can be raised up, made to see our sinfulness so we can fully appreciate and experience His forgiveness. In that Place and only in that Place we are truly... changed.
The veil of separation has been torn asunder; access has been granted; the Father, with outstretched hands, beckons us to "Come."
May we and our churches never be content with mere "outer court" worship.
You often hear about the need for revival. Preachers call their congregations to pray for revival. Though not as common as a few years ago, we have revival meetings. (The church world is now flooded with "conferences," but still no revival.) There are multitudes of books, CD's, and DVD's about revival. Revival, revival, revival!
The question I ask is, a revival of what? Signs and wonders? Passion and fervor? Real prayer and true worship? Service? Holiness?
When it all boils down, when we get to the bottom line, what we need a revival of, what the world needs to see a revival of in the Church and in individual Christians, what the Father longs to see in His children is a revival of... Christlikeness.
"Revive us, O Lord. Do not simply give us a hunger and desire for Christlikeness, for a hunger is not satisfied, and a desire shows something lacking and unfulfilled. Mold us and shape us into the image of Christ, not just as a testimony to the world, but for Your glory. Revive in us, a true spirit of the likeness of Your Son. Send revival, O Lord."

Reds vs. Pirates, 16 April 2010
By Charlie Wilmoth Apr 16, 2010, 3:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Reds vs. Pirates, 16 April 2010
CINCINNATI - APRIL 11: Mike Leake #44 of the Cincinnati Reds throws a pitch during the game against the Chicago Cubs on April 11, 2010 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Mike Leake vs. Zach Duke, 7:05 PM.
I'm pretty curious about this one, and not because of the funny similarities in these two pitchers' names. Leake was the Reds' first-round pick last summer, and he's a good pitching prospect but not a premium one. The Reds let him skip the minor leagues entirely (although he did pitch a few games in the Arizona Fall League), inserting him directly into their rotation. He made his major league debut on Sunday and shut down the Cubs, allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings, but he walked seven batters.
Maybe the Reds end up looking like geniuses for doing this, but putting Leake in the rotation without a day's worth of minor league experience looks to me like the sort of cockamamie idea that can lead to weird cycles of promotion and demotion that can derail a guy's career. Andrew Miller was supposed to be one of the best talents, if not the best talent, in the 2006 draft, and now I look at how his career has gone and I just feel bad for him. He hasn't had a major injury, but he's had the misfortune of playing for two organizations (Detroit and Florida) that place little value in continuity. He's pitched in the majors every season since he was drafted, but he has obvious problems with control and mechanics that he's never ironed out, so he keeps going back to various minor league levels, where he steamrolls the competition. This is not the way to develop a pitcher, and I think it's pretty likely the Reds end up doing something like this with Leake while burning through a bunch of his service time in the process. Good for Leake for getting good results in his first start, but the seven walks suggest there are some things he could work on.
While I'm at it, I think it's funny that the Pirates have a player in Brad Lincoln who taken two picks before Miller out of college in 2006 and still hasn't pitched in the majors yet. The Lincoln saga isn't a success story either, but one of the few things I think Dave Littlefield did well was to promote prospects at an appropriate pace. Obviously, he didn't acquire many prospects to begin with, so there wasn't much in the way of temptation, but I'm glad that the list of stunts he pulled didn't include, for example, making Andrew McCutchen the starting centerfielder at the beginning of the 2007 season, or something like that.

Dr. Phibes rises from his grave 3 years after entering and goes on a quest for immortality. This one was about as good as the original, I thought, with another batch of really neat ways to kill folks.

Central Electric-Sponsored Kenan Fellow Shares the Co-op Way
Last year, Central Electric sponsored Daria Fedrick, a career technology teacher at Bragg Street Academy in Sanford, through the Kenan Fellows program. Once her time with the program and the co-op were complete, Fedrick decided to share the experience with her students.
As a part of her class curriculum, Fedrick's class formed their own co-op, all the way from a not-for-profit business model to an acting board of directors that helped guide the co-op's decision-making process. Thus, Bragg Street's "Sugar Shack" came to life.

Each student became an active member of the newly formed candy cooperative, working together to sell candy via the school's "behavior points" system. Some students worked on filling orders, while others took on roles of customer service and marketing the product to students in the school. At the end of the project, margins were divided and distributed back to the students.
"Thank you to Central Electric and its members for giving me the opportunity to participate in the Kenan Fellows program, and most importantly for the experience it provided to my students," Fedrick said. "Not only were my students able to experience first-hand the benefits of the not-for-profit business model, but also the commitment the co-op has to its members and the community."

Her Best Christmas Ever
SURPRISE HOLIDAY DELIVERY: EIGHT POUNDS, TWO OUNCES!
He'd have a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner at his mom's ranch, count his blessings, then superstar country singer Greg Clayton would go back on tour. But when a storm stranded him alone with the very pregnant Connie Montoya, Greg delivered her holiday baby himself!
Suddenly, he'd found something that could compare to fame and fortune: the beautiful single mother and the sweet baby girl who felt like his own. But Greg's life was on the road—and Connie's past made joining him impossible. Until a holiday miracle called love showed him how to make all Connie's Christmas dreams come true...
Hoping to beat the storm that darkened the vast Texas sky, Greg Clayton stepped harder on the gas pedal, accelerating the rental SUV.
He'd just wrapped up another grueling tour, and the members of his country-western band had scattered, each one going his or her own way for the upcoming holiday season. Greg had boarded a flight, too, and was now heading for the only place he'd ever really called home—the Rocking C.
Fourteen years ago, Granny Clayton had found him hiding in her barn, alone and afraid. Within a month, she'd started adoption proceedings to make him a part of her family.
And now, at twenty-seven, he'd been a Clayton half his life— the best half by far.
A jagged streak of lightning ripped through the clouds, which were growing more ominous by the minute, and it didn't take long for a groan and rumble of thunder to follow.
Greg swore under his breath. This storm—the first of two, if the weatherman had called it right—was going to be a real gully-washer.
Fortunately, he wasn't far from the ranch. But there was one particular dip in the county road that was prone to flooding with any significant precipitation, so he needed to get past that low spot before the rain began to fall. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get through at all.
When his cell phone rang, he grabbed it off the clip on his belt and answered.
"Greg?" his elderly mother asked over the crackling line. "Is that you?"
"Yes. Is everything okay, Granny?"
"Well, yes and no. I'm doing fine, but I'm afraid Lester had a stroke. He was visiting his sister in Houston when it happened."
"That's too bad." Lester was Granny's foreman, a position he'd stepped in tofill after Clem Bixby died. As far as the ranch went, Lester did a great job. But no one would ever replace Clem when it came to having a positive, paternal influence on three adolescent boys.
"Where are you?" Greg asked, scanning the ominous, charcoal-gray horizon and hoping she was close to her destination. He didn't like the idea of her being out on the road, especially at her age.
"I'm with Hilda," she said. "So you don't need to worry about me."
Greg rolled his eyes in a silent scoff. That was supposed to make him feel better? While Hilda was only a couple of years younger than Granny, she seemed to be the designated driver these days. And more often than not, the two tended to get into trouble when they were together.
Not that the women drank; they were both churchgoing teetotalers. But together they seemed to get involved in one adventure after another, which gave Greg and his brothers more cause for worry than peace of mind.
"But where are you?" he asked.
"Somewhere within Houston city limits," his mother said. "I'm not exactly sure, but we'll be staying in a hotel tonight. It's starting to sprinkle now, so we don't want to be on the streets any more than we have to."
That was a relief.
"How far are you from the ranch?" she asked.
Another flash of lightning struck, followed by a thunderous boom and a celestial shudder. "I'm almost to the county road now, so I'm only a couple of miles from the house."
"Good. The only one left on the ranch is Connie, my cook. Do you remember meeting her?"
Greg had met Connie briefly at Granny's eightieth birthday party in June. The attractive young woman had short brown hair with blond highlights. And she'd baked one heck of a chocolate cake.
If he was lucky, he'd arrive home and find a pot of something tasty simmering on the stove. He hadn't eaten a bite since he'd boarded the plane in Las Vegas. Not that they hadn't served him anything in first class. But he'd been exhausted after the last performance and had slept all the way to Houston's Hobby Airport.
He wouldn't complain, though. He loved being onstage. But sometimes he needed to replenish his creative well, and the best place to do that was at the Rocking C.
So he was looking forward to some downtime and to spending the holidays with the Clayton clan, which was growing. His older brother, Jared, had married Sabrina in a quiet little ceremony a couple of months ago. And Matt was now engaged to Tori.
Yep. Greg would enjoy catching up with his brothers and the new ladies in their lives.
Of course, by the time New Year's Eve rolled around, he'd be ready to meet up with the band and begin the winter tour.
"I gave all of the ranch employees time off for Thanksgiving," Granny said, drawing Greg back to the conversation they'd been having. "But Connie didn't want to travel. So when I got the call about Lester's stroke, I had to leave her all by herself, which I really didn't want to do. So I'm sure glad to know you'll be with her, especially since there's a storm brewing."
"No problem. I'll keep her company." Greg found himself smiling. To be honest, he was looking forward to seeing Connie again. She'd been pretty quiet when they'd been introduced five months ago, and her shyness or disinterest or whatever it had been had intrigued him.
Most women, whether they were young or old, single or attached, seemed to fawn over Greg, so he was looking forward to doing some of the chasing for a change.
After disconnecting the line, he continued to the ranch, arriving about five minutes after the first sprinkle of rain hit his windshield. He parked close to the house and entered through the back door, where he removed his hat and boots and left them in the mudroom.
Just inside the kitchen, he caught the aroma of warm cinnamon and spice, and his stomach growled in response.
Since he figured his mother had told Connie he was coming, he didn't announce his arrival. Instead, he walked into the living room, where he found her snoozing on the sofa. In her arms, she cuddled a pillow. She'd draped an autumn-colored afghan over her and had it pulled up to her chin.
Her hair was longer now; the blond highlights were gone. He couldn't decide whether he liked it that way or not. Still, she was just as pretty as he remembered. Her face, with its light olive-colored complexion, practically glowed.
If his memory hadn't failed him, her eyes were a greenish shade of hazel. Of course, he'd have to wait until they opened to know for sure.
A grin stretched across his face. Something told him he was going to really enjoy this particular visit home. And he almost looked forward to a fire in the hearth and the sound of rain on the roof.
Realizing he couldn't continue to stand there and stare at her, he decided to let her sleep and to carry his luggage into his room. But as he took a step, one of the slats of hardwood flooring squeaked in protest.
Connie gasped and shot up on the sofa, her eyes—yep, definitely green—growing wide.
"Oops," Greg said, placing his bag on the floor. "I didn't mean to scare you."
Her mouth opened, yet she didn't attempt to speak, so he added, "I'm Greg. Granny's son. We met at her birthday party a few months back."
"I know who you are," she said, running her hand through her brown locks of hair. She didn't seem to be impressed.
"I thought I'd put my bags away," Greg said, "then fix myself something to eat."
"I can do it." She threw off the pillow, as well as the afghan, revealing a belly the size of a basketball. No, make that a beach ball.
Damn. She was pregnant.
The absolute shock must have shown on his face, because she rubbed her distended womb, furrowed her brow, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You…" He shrugged. "You're going to have a baby."
"Didn't you know?"
"Nope." And no one had told him. Not his mother, his brothers…. How could they neglect to mention something like that? He didn't think that he'd kept his attraction to her a secret.
Lightning cracked across the sky, briefly illuminating the room.
No wonder Granny had worried about leaving Connie home alone. She looked ready to… pop.
"When are you due?" he asked, hoping it was a month or two from now. Hell, even next week would give him some peace of mind.
"On Friday," she said.
And this was Tuesday. He hoped that the kid would stay on schedule.
Connie rubbed the small of her back and grimaced.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
She arched, all the while continuing her massage. "I've had a backache all afternoon."
He glanced at the antique clock on the mantel. Five-fifteen.
For a man who'd been looking forward to having some time alone with a woman and turning on the charm, he'd sure changed his tune. Now all he could think about was making it through the night and hoping Granny wouldn't decide to spend any extra time in Houston.
"I'll get you something to eat while you put away your things," she said.
"No, I can't let you do that, especially since you're hurting. Go ahead and lie down again. I'll just make a sandwich. In fact, I'll make two—one for each of us."
"Well," she said, "as long as it's no trouble…."
"It's not." And that was the absolute truth. Hell, he needed to keep his hands busy and his thoughts on something else.
Otherwise, he was going to spend the next umpteen hours stressed out of his ever-lovin' mind.
Connie's back had been aching like crazy, but it had seemed to ease some over the last hour. Her heart was still skipping and jumping all over the place, though.
She'd been sound asleep when Greg had entered the house. And while she'd known he was coming, she hadn't been expecting him until later this evening.
I'm Greg, he'd said. Granny's son. We met at her birthday party a few months back.
Connie hadn't needed the introduction. She'd known exactly who the tall, dark-haired man was. His handsome face had adorned the covers of several of her favorite CDs, and his voice had been a regular on KCOW, the radio station she'd always listened to when she'd lived near Galveston.
In fact, Greg might never understand why, but when she realized that her employer's son was the Greg Clayton whose hits were tearing up the charts, Connie had nearly given two weeks notice and begun looking for a new job.
Not that Greg would have any idea who she was. Her singing career, as short-lived as it was, had been limited to gigs at seedy, two-bit bars. It had also been a surreal time in her life she wanted to forget.
After Ross's last drunken rage, Connie had made up her mind that she wouldn't ever let him hit her again. That she was going to make some changes in her life. Some big ones.
"Do you want to press charges?" the first officer on the scene that night had asked, as his partner called for an ambulance.
She'd nodded. "Yes, I do."
The violence had started as a push here and a shove there. Over time, it had escalated to a twist of her arm, which had been so hard that she'd thought he might have broken something. At that point, she'd told herself she wouldn't tolerate any more rough stuff.
The first time he actually struck her and split open her lip, he'd cried like a baby and been so remorseful that she'd softened and gone against her best judgement.
"I'm sorry, baby," he'd said. "I just love you so much." Then he'd apologized and promised it would never happen again.
It was a promise he hadn't been able to keep.
Connie hadn't grown up in a violent home, so the next time he'd blown up had been the last. She'd refused to live with a bully any longer.
As the officer read him his rights, Ross had grown even angrier. While being helped into the back of the patrol car, he'd yelled to Connie, "You're going to be sorry for this."
She'd been sorry already. Sorry for getting involved with him in the first place, sorry she hadn't left him the very first time he'd raised his voice and had given her a shove.
A rumble of thunder sounded in the distance, drawing her from the dark memories, and she padded to the window to peer out into the rain.
Her mother always said that this kind of day called for a pot of soup and homemade bread.
Connie agreed, even if she wasn't all that good at whipping anything up in the kitchen that wasn't a dessert. She was getting better at fixing meals, though, thanks to Granny's insistence that she do the bulk of the cooking in spite of her limited experience.
"You've got to learn sometime," the older woman had said, "especially since you're going to be a mother in a few short months."
Connie blew out a sigh and rubbed the small of her back, which had begun to ache all over again.
Had she done too much or pulled something? Or was this just one of the many discomforts associated with the last weeks of pregnancy?
For a moment, she wondered if she might be going into labor. After all, the books she'd read mentioned something about a backache. But it seemed as though she'd been plagued with a similar pain off and on for the past few days or so.
She had a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so she'd have to ask about it. Especially since it seemed to be hurting worse today than before.
Maybe sleeping on the soft sofa hadn't been good for her.
Thinking that it might be better if she moved around a bit, she headed to the kitchen where Greg was fixing sandwiches for them.
Earlier, she'd baked a cake, but she'd put off preparing anything else to eat until after she'd taken a nap, which made her feel somewhat remiss now. She'd been hired to cook the meals, so she didn't want anyone to think she was slacking off. Neither did she want anyone to think that her pregnancy—or the baby— would hamper her ability to work and pull her own weight. She needed this job and a safe, out-of-the-way place to live.
As she stepped into the doorway, she found Greg standing at the counter, his long, dark hair pulled back with a strip of leather and hanging past his broad shoulders.
He was loading up slices of bread in Dagwood style, with ham, turkey, cheese, sliced tomatoes and whatever else he'd been able to find by rummaging in the fridge.
It was strange to see someone of his caliber standing so close, to see a talented, sexy man engaged in a run-of-the-mill task. He appeared to be one part cowboy, one part warrior, and she found herself in awe.
But she was determined not to fawn over him like a starstruck groupie.
"How about a piece of apple-spice cake?" she asked, shrugging off any misplaced attraction as she entered the kitchen.

False killer whales in danger of extinction from getting caught in fishing gear
Earth.com staff writer
12-26-2016 Environment
Entanglements between fishing gear and offshore false killer whales have occurred in Hawaii so often that the population has been designated a "strategic stock" under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. In response, a team of researchers and fishermen coordinated an effort along with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego in order to observe how these marine mammals interact with fishing lines.
This led to the first observation of how Hawaiian false killer whales attempt to remove fish from longline fishing gear, in a process called "depredation." The major component of a false killer whale's diet is gamefish, such as yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi. In their hunt for these fish, they forage in the same open-ocean regions where commercial fishermen set 30-60 kilometer-long fishing lines in an effort to catch the same fish.
Unfortunately, while fishing in the same areas, these whales often end up as an unintended catch of the fishermen. Their designation by the Marine Mammal Protection Act as a "strategic stock" has led to a federal take-reduction strategy for reducing the negative impact to the population from the commercial fishing operations.
Researchers are interested in learning more about the animals' behavior, as well as what attracts them to the fishing gear and how they attempt to remove the bait. To observe how the false killer whales interact with these longlines, the Alaskan and Hawaiian research team deployed an underwater camera, sound recorder, and vibration detector on longline fishing gear.
During a 30-second encounter caught on video, the scientists found that a false killer whale was producing distinct clicks and whistles as it approached the longlines and took baitfish off the hook. Researchers were able to estimate how far away the animal was from the line by calculating the vibrations on the line and how loud the whale's sounds were.
In a paper published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, lead author Aaron Thode said, "This study addresses some important questions about the nature of this depredation, and whether underwater sound can be used to study or possibly alleviate the issue."
He believes that further studies might be able to help them understand even more about the behavior of these whales. New information could potentially be used by fishermen to hear the animals make echolocation noises before they deploy their fishing gear. Thode continued, "The study can also be helpful in designing future experiments to estimate the actual number of animals in the region."
In the future, the research team hopes that these studies can lead to the production of a so-called "smart hook," which could reduce the negative impacts to animals and fishing operations.

AGL pushes ahead with demolition plans for coal-fired power plant
Australian energy giant AGL is advancing its exit from coal with Delta Group awarded the contract to demolish the Liddell Power Station as the site is prepared for transformation into a clean energy hub dominated by a 500 MW/2 GWh grid-connected battery energy storage system.
January 23, 2023 David Carroll
The Liddell Power Station will be closed down entirely in April.
Image: AGL
AGL has confirmed the appointment of Melbourne-based engineering contractor Delta Group to oversee the demolition of the 1,680 MW Liddell Power Station in the New South Wales Hunter Valley with the coal-fired facility to be shut down entirely in less than three months.
AGL Chief Operating Officer Markus Brokhof said it will be the first of company's thermal generation sites to be converted into an integrated, low-carbon industrial energy hub, which will support the energy market and regional economic development.
"After over 50 years of generating electricity for Australia, Liddell Power Station has reached the end of its operational life and will close in April 2023," he said.
AGL has already secured planning approval to build a 500MW big battery with up to four hours of storage at the site, which the company said will provide a new source of dispatchable power and allow the company to reuse the existing grid connection infrastructure.
The demolition process is expected to commence in early 2024 and take approximately two years. Work will include removal of all main structures (boilers, chimneys, turbine houses, coal plant) and ancillary buildings, and levelling of the site using recovered crushed concrete.
More than 90% of the materials in the power station, including an estimated 70,000 tonnes of steel, are expected to be recycled during demolition. Critical infrastructure, such as transmission connections, will be retained to support the ongoing use of the site as an industrial energy hub.
The demolition of the Liddell power station signals the beginning of the end for AGL's coal-fired generation fleet.
The company has confirmed its Bayswater power station in the Hunter Valley will close down between 2030 and 2033 and last year announced it will shut down the Loy Yang A power plant in Victoria's Latrobe Valley 2035, a decade earlier than planned.
To replace that capacity, AGL said it plans to have up to 12 GW of new generation and firming capacity in place before 2036. This includes an interim target to have up to 5 GW of new renewables and firming in place by the end of the decade.

'Worst fears, best hopes' for the Trump presidency: Susie Gelman, Israel Policy Forum
Susie Gelman
Susie Gelman (Israel Policy Forum)
Editor's note: The upset victory by Donald Trump in the 2016 elections stunned a Jewish activist and leadership class that is at times as divided as the electorate at large. JTA asked some of those leaders to describe their concerns and expectations in a series of brief essays, "Worst fears, best hopes," that will appear regularly between now and Inauguration Day.
(JTA) — The election of Donald Trump and his subsequent actions have created serious concerns at Israel Policy Forum. Broadly speaking, we worry what a Trump administration portends for our country and the world.
More specifically, we fear what it may mean for the future of our already challenging mission of advancing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Absent such an eventual agreement, the security of the State of Israel will be threatened, its future as a Jewish and democratic state will be jeopardized, and the long-term stability of the U.S.-Israel alliance, rooted in bipartisanship, could be irrevocably shaken.
Trump's appointment of Stephen Bannon as his chief political strategist – someone who led an extremist publication that has promoted expressions of intolerance and hate toward a number of minority groups and has purveyed ugly and divisive rhetoric – is also cause for grave concern. The vile anti-Semitism unleashed during the campaign has intensified since the election.
In this grim environment, there are reasons to be hopeful that progress toward a two-state solution can be made. We look to Trump's interview in The Wall Street Journal of Nov. 11, when he described a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as "the ultimate deal." Later he said, "As a deal maker, I'd like to do … the deal that can't be made."
We are cognizant that every president for nearly five decades has realized that it is in America's interest to make progress on the two-state solution, to solve this intractable problem and to realize additional American regional priorities. Moreover, the majority of American Jews, Israelis and Palestinians support it.
So we at IPF are not abandoning hope. We will do all that we can to provide resources to illuminate a path forward and to stand up for what is right. We pledge to support any helpful efforts by the Trump administration to move toward a two-state future and to oppose any harmful steps that do the opposite.
(Susie Gelman is chair of the Israel Policy Forum.)

A film and television programme maker with a flair for writing and teaching
Masterpiece ...Wolf Rilla's The Village of the Damned. Photograph: Kobal Collection
Philip Purser
Tue 25 Oct 2005 09.28 EDT
Wolf Rilla, who has died at the age of 85, accurately defined himself as a writer, filmmaker and television maker. He published six novels, directed 24 movies, notably Village of the Damned (1962), and was active in television from the brave days when the BBC's pioneer service was resuming at Alexandra Palace in 1946, after a wartime closedown of six and a half years.
As its first drama script editor, charged with seeking out plays and stories that could be enacted live in cramped studios, he alighted with glee on a taut thriller taking place in one room. Alas, the BBC did not rise to his recommendation, and Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder went on instead to enjoy a long West End theatre run and a Hollywood production by Alfred Hitchcock.
Rilla was born in Berlin, where his part-Jewish father Walter Rilla was a prominent actor. In common with many others in entertainment and the arts, Walter recognised the dangers when Hitler came to power, and the family moved to London in 1934 when Wolf was 14. He completed his schooling at the enlightened co-educational Frensham Heights school, Surrey, and went on to St Catherine's College, Cambridge. In 1942 he joined the BBC World Service's German section, transferring to television in the late 1940s.
He left the BBC staff in 1952 to pursue his ambition to make films, but continued to take on television productions as a freelance. In a collective memoir of those times, Coming to You Live, a BBC production secretary told of her baptism to live drama in a Sunday night play of his. It was a seaside thriller thought rather daring at the time. But then, she added rather unkindly, Wolf was "one of those trendy-type guest producers". In fact, he was a reliable, steady pair of hands and much loved by the crews he worked with.
In the cinema he was dependent at first on Group 3, an idealistic production company set up by the National Film Finance Corporation with Michael Balcon, John Baxter and John Grierson in charge. The idea was to give young talent a chance to make low-budget quickies, unfortunately - as it turned out - to no great acclaim. But by 1960 Rilla was working regularly for MGM in Britain. He directed his father, along with George Sanders and Richard Johnson, in Cairo (1963), a remake of John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle, with Tutankhamun's jewels in a Cairo museum now the target of the robbers.
His masterwork remains Village of the Damned, from John Wyndham's sci-fi novel The Midwich Cuckoos. As well as directing it, Rilla was responsible, with Geoffrey Barclay and the American screenwriter Stirling Silliphant, for the adaptation. George Sanders also starred in this, with Barbara Shelley.
For television he dabbled in all manner of series, from The Adventures of Aggie, a 1956 BBC sitcom aimed chiefly at the American market, to the TV version (1969-71) of radio's popular Send for Paul Temple detective series. His novels included Greek Chorus, The Dispensable Man, The Chinese Consortium and one simply entitled Movie.
But for all his energy and creative output, it may well be that his lasting contribution to the popular culture of his day was educational. He lectured at the London International Film School, and wrote A-Z of Movie Making (1970), one of the most lucid, comprehensive and intelligent guides to writing for the industry that I know.
In bachelor days a member of the convivial Soho set revolving around Dylan Thomas and Jeffrey Bernard, Rilla was also a serious reader and music-lover. In 1958 he married Shirley Graham-Ellis, a publicist for the tea suppliers Jacksons of Piccadilly and London Films. They had a son, Nico, who as a filmmaker himself continues a family tradition that now spans three generations and 85 years.
After Wolf had held office in both the film technicians' union ACTT and the Directors' Guild, he and Shirley moved to the south of France, to buy and run a hotel at Fayence in Provence, where she survives him.

"Jeans for Giraffes" Fundraiser – now until June 21!
AUSB, in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Zoo, is having a "Jeans for Giraffes" fundraising drive, and we want you to join us. Until Wednesday, June 21 – World Giraffe Day – you can donate an old pair of jeans to raise money to protect giraffe populations.
Since the fundraiser began on April 22, contributions have been outstanding and have far exceeded expectations. All these jeans will be recycled and the funds are used to support giraffe research and protect giraffe populations.
Giraffe populations in Africa have declined by more than 40% in the past 15 years. One sub-species, the reticulated giraffe, has declined by more than 80% in the same time. Estimates are that at this rate the reticulated giraffe will be extinct in 10 years. Poverty, lack of food, and the proliferation of automatic weapons have combined to create a dramatic increase in poaching.
Current conservation efforts require support and additional projects and research must be initiated. People living in areas with giraffes need to be educated and provided with alternative sources of income and food.
So, search through the back of your closet, ask your friends and neighbors, and then simply drop off your demin in the box in the AUSB main lobby or at the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Resident Evil Pair Announced for Wii
– April 6, 2007Posted in: Capcom, News, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Screenshots, Wii
Confirming the rumors and speculation that have been floating around recently regarding Resident Evil's future presence on the Wii, Capcom has officially announced today two RE titles for Nintendo's hot new console, including Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
"Resident Evil has become one of the premier franchises in the games industry, with more than 30 million RE games sold around the world," said Jack Symon, director, product marketing, Capcom Entertainment. "The innovative controller functionality of the Wii will allow us to design innovative, original game play never before seen in a Resident Evil game. With RE4, we're challenging the Wii hardware to meet Resident Evil, while in The Umbrella Chronicles, we're adapting Resident Evil to the innovations of the Wii."
Adapting to take advantage of the Wii's motion-sensing controls, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition brings back the award-winning GameCube and PS2 classic from 2005 and packs in new Wii-mote support to enable players to knife slash, aim and fire guns, reload, dodge attacks, and complete the various action sequences all using intuitive controller gestures. Nintendo fans who were disappointed by missing out on the cool extras the PS2 version received over the GameCube should be happy to hear that all of the bonus content will be packed into this Wii version as well.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, on the other hand, is a brand new installment in the acclaimed franchise that will explore the back story behind the Umbrella Corporation's demise. The gameplay will fuse together typical RE action with first-person, light-gun style shooting and take players through classic locales from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 and the all-new Umbrella stronghold, with multiple paths through the game for high replayability. Past RE stars Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine will be making their return, as are other classic characters like Rebecca Chambers and Carlos Oliveira.
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition is slated to ship this summer, while Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles' release date is still yet to be determined. We'll be back as soon as any new details emerge, but for now we'll leave you with the debut screenshot and artwork for both titles (continue reading for the galleries).

WOOTZORS!!!!!! ZOMFGBBQNUBSAUCEPWNFACECAKE!!!!
I've been waiting…and waiting…and WAITING for them to FINALLY make this announcement official. I knew about it for about a month now, and I was just like "SAY IT, ALREADY!!!". With that said, if they mess this game up…I will not be a happy man.
Good time to sell my used copy on GC.
It's cool to see RE4 getting updated some, but it's also kinda sad that it's just another port updated with Wii controls. That's like all the Wii is getting from third parties right now- for such an "innovative" platform I'm really not seeing that much real innovation yet other than a few games. Will it be cool to play RE4 with the motion-sensing? Most likely yes, depending on how well the controls are implemented. But it better come out at some sort of reduced price (which it probably won't lol), as I already have the Cube and PS2 versions it'd be a hard sell for me to pay another 40-50 bucks just to play the same game a slightly different way, even if it is still one of the best games ever.
Posted April 13, 2007 at 5:00 PM
Dood…all I'm trying to figure out is this: WHY IS NINTENDO PLAYING PUSSY-FOOT WITH THEIR GRAPHICS?! My GOD, man. It's CAPCOM! They made RE4, one of the most beautiful games on the Gamecube or any of that generation's systems, and yet they can't make Umbrella Chronicles look better than that?! SERIOUSLY!
Posted May 2, 2007 at 10:46 AM
At least Wii is getting a new RE. Doesn't look like PS3 will. =(
Um, the PS3 (and 360) is getting RE5, and that'll be a million times better than Umbrella Chronicles lol.
