This project involved re-roofing, external repairs and construction of a new external fire escape within an occupied London hospital. Extensive asbestos removal works took place throughout the roof void, and a five‐storey scaffold with a temporary roof was constructed over a large proportion of the exterior.
As the hospital remained open throughout the duration of the contract, careful coordination of the requirements of many stakeholders was required.

Syrian Refugee Camps: Winter Extends the Suffering
Vernon Brewer
Shells explode in the distance. Shouting. A woman's cry. The sobbing of a child. Bloodstained streets.
The Syrian border is only a few miles away, but for hundreds of thousands of refugees, the nightmare is far from over. The biting winds signal the coming of winter, and the landscape looks barren and bleak.
Having escaped from the onslaught of brutality being waged in their home country, most Syrians hoped these temporary camps would serve as safe havens from the violence and fear. Instead, they have become a holding tank for riots, a place where women and children are kidnapped and sold to traffickers . . . the road to a "slow death" as many refugees have called it.
The violence that began with anti-government protests in the spring of 2011 has escalated into a full-blown crisis. More than 40,000 Syrians have lost their lives since the uprising began. Many were slaughtered in their own homes—even the children did not escape.
Recent counts indicate that over 385,000 Syrian refugees have fled to the Syrian border and are trying to survive in the neighboring nations of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. Over a million more have been internally displaced because of the fighting.
Desperation is rising as the temperatures drop. The meager shelters in the camps are not enough to shield from the weather, much less the violence within.
Our network of aid workers on the ground tells me that food supplies are not sufficient to meet the needs of the masses. Hunger is sweeping through the streets, and sickness from the lack of proper sanitation is following at a staggering pace.
Our immediate response is crucial in the fight to save thousands of lives.
Refugees have now resorted to finding other dwellings outside the camps. As a result, dozens of people are cramming into abandoned buildings or single-room shelters, and the demand for food and medicine is urgent and extensive there.
In response to these overwhelming needs, our humanitarian aid strategy has primarily been to those on the outskirts of the refugee camps where there is no aid available. Our partners are strategically positioned to assess the needs and respond to these individuals and families efficiently and effectively. As we speak, they are working tirelessly to distribute staple food supplies and life-saving medicine to thousands.
Provisions are almost entirely depleted. As the winter months approach, we must act before it's too late.
Your gift can make an immediate difference:
$20 will feed and provide medicine for one refugee child for one month
$100 will make these provisions available for an entire Syrian family for one month
$1,200 provides these same vital supplies for a family for one year
Today, I'm asking you to consider the thousands of refugee children who will go to sleep hungry tonight because of this crisis. Consider the refugee mother who is dangerously ill, but cannot afford medicine. Consider the refugee father who feels hopeless because he cannot provide for his family.
Sending life-saving provisions to a Syrian family is one of the best gifts you can give. Please respond generously today.
Together, we can help save many lives . . . and make a difference that will last for eternity.

Many people have heard the term common law marriage. But what is it exactly? Most marriages are statutory; meaning that they are conducted in accordance with laws of the State which are codified in the State's statutes. In Colorado, a statutory marriage requires that the parties be at least 18 years of age, or between 16 and 18 with the consent of the parents, have a marriage license which is given upon a signed application, and within 30 days of obtaining the license, have the marriage solemnized by a person authorized to so such as a judge. A certificate of marriage is then forwarded to the Clerk and Recorder to be registered.
Common law marriage in Colorado does not have the above formalities and is not recognized by any statute. However, case law has recognized that parties can become married simply by their actions, even if they never apply for any marriage license. These actions must show that the parties mutually agreed to a marital relationship. Now usually, the issue of a common law marriage does not come up until one of the parties wants a "divorce" and the other party disagrees that they were ever married. So evidence of a mutual agreement to be married is very important to establishing that a common law marriage exists. In Colorado, there must be conduct showing a mutual public acknowledgement of the marital relationship to establish a common law marriage. The reason for the public display requirement is to guard against fraudulent claims of common law marriage.
Public acknowledgment of the marital relationship can be shown in part by cohabitation, but more is needed; particularly in this day and age where cohabitation is not taboo as it once was and where it is considerably easier to get a marriage license than it used to be. There must be a general understanding or reputation among persons in the community in which the couple lives that the parties hold themselves out as husband and wife. Specific behavior that may be considered includes joint bank and/or credit card accounts held in each other's names; purchase and joint ownership of property; the use of the man's surname by the woman (or vice versa); the use of the man's surname by children born to the parties; and the filing of joint tax returns. There is no specific form that this evidence must take, but rather any evidence to show that the parties openly manifested their desire to be husband and wife will suffice.

ANKLAM, Germany — Automotive supplier and tire manufacturer Continental recently opened a new research laboratory here to research the use of dandelions as an alternative to the rubber tree.
The Taraxagum Lab Anklam will be set as the base for future research on farming and the extraction process of Russian dandelion as an alternative raw material source to the rubber tree in the tropics. If initial test results indicate viability, the tire manufacturer is planning to introduce the raw material into serial production within ten years, according to a news release from Continental.
Also in attendance at the ceremony was Harry Glawe, minister of Economic Affairs of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Michael Galander, the mayor of Anklam, and site manager Dr. Carsten Venz.
Setzer added that the company's investment in the new laboratory is part of its Vision 2025 business strategy, in which Continental has invested more than 2 billion euros in production, research, and development as well as in jobs and new products.
Approximately 20 employees with background in agricultural sciences, chemistry, and production and process technology will conduct research on plant cultivation, in addition to developing, setting up, and operating machines for processing Russian dandelions at the new location.
Continental had presented plans for the laboratory in August 2016 and began construction in November 2017.

Lawsuit vs. Gaddys costs Dunlap taxpayers $20,000

DUNLAP, Tenn. Taxpayers of a small town hounding two of its senior citizens in court have spent a pretty penny on the process since June 2015.
Civil prosecution of the case City of Dunlap vs. Gaddy has rung up a bill of F$19,592 since it was launched June 2015, according to bills submitted by attorney Stephen Greer to city recorder Norman Hatfield.
By David Tulis / Noogaradio 1240 AM 101.1 FM
That was up through Feb. 14, when at least another quarter of a billable hour was added to the tab to hire Mr. Greer to show up with town officials at the locked gate of the Gaddy property on Main Street. A judge ordered an "inspection" that Tuesday, one the Gaddys refused as unlawful and without warrant.
Hemming, hawing
When informed of the F$19,592 price tag, Commissioner Jeff Johnson, a banker, says, "Obviously, to me, first impression is that is a lot of money to pursue on one particular case. I think there's not anybody that wouldn't say that, whether it be the mayor or other commissioners or taxpayer in general, either one. But at the same time, you know, I guess I could see it as justifiable in that we do have ordinances, we do have laws that are to be upheld on the books. So things have to be done the legal way, the right way within the policies and parameters of the way things are supposed to be done. *** So if you look at it from that perspective, I can see how it's justified."
When I say that someone who sees the Gaddy case as unjust would say it is too much money, whereas one generally supportive of Mayor Land would say it's reasonable, he is guarded. "That's your words. I wouldn't necessarily make that comment. Again, I could see anyone saying it's excessive."
"We've kind of taken the stance as to not comment a lot while this is in litigation," based on advice from Mr. Greer. He says he doesn't know a lot about it, as much as the mayor does.
Reached by phone Friday, Mayor Land rebukes this reporter as shoddy in his trade. Asked if he would give a moment to comment, he says, "No, because you know what? You don't print exactly what I say so don't call me again." As this reporter was offering to correct any errors, Mr. Land hung up.
Allen Jones, a commissioner who works as an architect in Chattanooga, says the Dunlap body won't be involved in the process until it is complete. When asked to respond to a report of the total, he says, "Oh, gosh, I have no idea, to be honest with you. I don't get involved in legal cases, so I don't know what is appropriate for legal fees. I would honestly prefer not to comment on that."
Asphyxiated by local media
The local newspaper, the Dunlap Tribune, has ignored the case and not given residents any sense of its importance as a matter of substantive and procedural legal rights.
"When it comes to chancery cases we usually don't" cover cases, says Sandy Dodson, publisher, her office in Pikeville. "I know we've had coverage on Mrs. Gaddy in the past. She's had run-ins with the law and with the city officials, but I'm not sure if we've had an article on the case" now in chancery.
A third commissioner overseeing city affairs is Judy Layne, a retired schoolteacher. Is F$19,500 for the Gaddy case well spent? "I don't think I'd better answer that." She says the people of the city, whom she represents on the legislative branch of government, have not addressed her on the Gaddy case.
Traffic controls rip poor, violate travelers' rights, Hirsch says
"I haven't had a lot — any — questions from the citizens about that. I really haven't."
Maybe the citizens don't care about the prosecution? I ask.
"No, I think they care. I think they care, but I think they also realize there's two sides to the story, but I don't really have that much information on it. I mean, I really don't." Is that because the Dunlap Tribune doesn't cover the story? "I haven't seen any, either. It's a very conflicting situation, and, but I don't remember seeing anything in the Tribune. And I read the Tribune — I get it every week."
Lovely small-town residence
The day of the court-ordered inspection Mrs. Gaddy posted photos of the house's interior and tells about it. The Gaddy house was built in 1868, Mrs. Gaddy says, by Judge Charles H. Carpenter, who married a young woman who lived just across Coops Creek, which burbles at the boundary of the back yard.
It is a loving work in progress and "has been fully redeemed, new and beautiful," says the former real estate businesswoman, 69.

The couple, aided by son Kelly of Chattanooga, say renovation is 90 percent complete, with a solarium and passive solar system installation blocked by a city-obtained court injunction.
Mayor Land launched a legal attack on the Gaddy's, swearing under oath the house is "dangerous" to the public, based on a 2015 viewing from the property line.
The city sought to buy the property 10 years ago, Mrs. Gaddy says, and has "harassed and trespassed upon" her and her husband ever since, "including being bullied, terrorized.
The city raised the street elevation in front of this home "to intentionally create a manmade waterway directly at this home," she says in a Facebook post. The city is "funneling all street water and muddy runoff water from the 4 acre city-owned dumpsite across the street in front. This man-made waterway created by the city puts everyone driving this during heavy rains in danger. *** This is truly a wicked and corrupt municipal corporation."
Photos making this complaint are part of a court record that fills two big green folders kept by the chancery court clerk, and now a third green one.
"We will not quit, or yield to these bullies," she vows. The Gaddys "will continue to defend our private property rights and pursue the peaceable enjoyment of our private property as our Tennessee constitution promised under the declaration of rights. God put us on this property and we are staying here, if we have to fight them all the way to the U.S. supreme court. To God be the glory!"

Good, bad, or indifferent, it does not matter or change the end situation forthe Gaddys. Ignoring a court order, lawful or not, has only one consequence. Well in this case two.
They can allow an inspection under protest or undue influence or whatever. A likely scenario will probably follow. The inspection will come up with several code violations. The city will refuse to issue a certificate of occupancy and give X number of days for the problems to be fixed or remove the Gaddys from the house until the violations are fixed.
I'm not saying this is what is going too happen but it is possible if the city chooses to play hardball. Then the Gaddys can fight their protest in court.
We have sat on our rear ends all these years and allowed these governments to become our master and not our servent to the point that one person could walk to the moon easier than coming out on top in these situations.
If the Gaddys choose to play hardball they could wind up in jail and lose their house.
What has that accomplished? What change has that accomplished? If playing hardball here is worth 95 percent chance of going to jail and losing your house, then go for it. I wired up a hot tub some time back. When the inspector came back for final inspection he noticed a steel door next to the hot tub. He said the door had to be grounded. Somebody might touch the door while in the tub and get shocked or electrocuted.
Of course I asked why. He said that a fourth type of electricy had been discovered. Until this new dicsovery there were only three known types of electricy — AC DC and static. But this new kind was discovered floating around out in the ether and it might attack the door at the same time someone might touch it.
He could not pronounce the name of this new discovery but he got his code book and showed me where it was in the code. I am not making this up. I'm not going to say which party is right or wrong in this case, the Gaddys or the city.
They do not operate by our constitution. Their constitution is their code book.

U.S. current account deficit rises to more than 12-year high
Reuters | Posted: Dec. 18, 2020, 1:41 a.m. | Updated: Dec. 18, 2020, 12:20 p.m. | 2 Min Read
By Lucia Mutikani
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. current account deficit surged to its highest level in more than 12 years in the third quarter as a record rebound in consumer spending pulled in imports, outpacing a recovery in exports.
The Commerce Department said on Friday the current account deficit, which measures the flow of goods, services and investments into and out of the country, widened 10.6% to $178.5 billion last quarter. That was the highest since the second quarter of 2008.
Data for the second quarter was revised to show a $161.4 billion shortfall, instead of $170.5 billion as previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the current account gap increasing to $189.0 billion in the July-September quarter.
The current account gap represented 3.4% of gross domestic product in the third quarter. That was up from 3.3% in the April-June quarter and the largest since the fourth quarter of 2008. Still, the deficit remains below a peak of 6.3% of GDP in the fourth quarter of 2005 as the United States is now a net exporter of crude oil and fuel.
Imports of goods increased $94.4 billion to $602.7 billion, the highest since the fourth quarter of 2019. The broad rise in response to pent-up demand following the easing of business restrictions to slow the spread of COVID-19, was led by imports of passenger cars.
Imports of services rose $6.5 billion to $107.7 billion, mostly reflecting increases in fees for intellectual property, mainly licenses for research and development. There were also increases in sea freight transportation and personal travel.
Consumer spending grew at a historic 40.6% annualized rate in the July-September period, driven by more than $3 trillion in government pandemic relief. Consumer spending contracted at a record 33.2% pace in the second quarter.
Exports of goods rebounded $68.4 billion to $357.1 billion last quarter. The broad increase in exports was led by shipments of motor vehicles, parts and engines. Exports plunged in the April-June period amid coronavirus shutdowns overseas.
Exports of services gained $2.8 billion to $164.8 billion. That mainly reflected an increase in fees for research and development licenses. But education-related travel declined.
Primary income receipts rose $26.8 billion to $238.7 billion, driven by investment income, mostly earnings.
Secondary income climbed $1.4 billion to $35.3 billion, lifted by an increase in private sector fines and penalties.

These four rural departments make up the northern part of the Midi-Pyrénées region, in south-western France. Together they boast diverse and unspoilt scenery, vibrant medieval towns, fascinating caves and grottos, and some of France's most beautiful and most visited villages and cities.
Named after the river, Tarn enjoys varied and unspoilt scenery, and several interesting and vibrant medieval towns. For those who love the great outdoors, Tarn offers river valleys, dramatic gorges and forested mountains, with walking trails, cycle routes, horse-riding and fishing.
Its prefecture, Albi, is widely considered one of France's most beautiful cities and was the birthplace of post-impressionist artist Toulouse-Lautrec, in 1864.
Stone-built properties are typical in Tarn, along with half-timbered or colombage houses. In the countryside, elegant farmhouses, vigneron houses and other agricultural buildings are common, and there are plenty of châteaux and pigeonniers.
Traversed by the Rivers Tarn and Garonne, this department was created in 1808 by Napoléon Bonaparte and is among France's smallest, yet it offers surprisingly diverse scenery. This includes the foothills of the Massif Central, dramatic gorges of the River Aveyron in the north-east, and rolling hills in the south-west.
The departmental prefecture is Montauban, which lies in a fertile plain, watered by the Tarn and Garonne rivers and is renowned for its fruit growing.
Properties in Tarn-et-Garonne include stone Bas-Quercy houses, with stone cellars, courtyards and pigeonniers, and rustic stone houses with wood beams, large and luminous rooms, sometimes separated by archways.
Named after the Lot River, this is the most northerly department of the Midi-Pyrénées and enjoys varied and attractive scenery, including rolling hills, rivers, dramatic cliffs, hilltop villages, unspoilt woodlands and sunflower meadows, as well as some of France's most visited underground caves and grottos.
Its prefecture is the medieval cathedral city of Cahors, which lies in a wide loop of the Lot River and is famous for its bridge, the Pont Valentre.
Property styles include Quercy houses, found around Cahors and in the higher Quercy area, which are made of clay. They are rectangular and usually include shed dormers, covered terraces and a pigeonnier.
Many houses were built using limestone and yellow sandstone, some of which may still be exposed inside. Some roofs were built using ancient Provençal tiles, and in many properties the tower is a part of the house. There are also half-timbered properties.
Part of the southern Massif Central, this department is the fifth largest in France, and enjoys varied and beautiful scenery, from flower-studded moors and rugged plateaux to rolling hills and dramatic river valleys.
It also boasts no fewer than ten villages belonging to the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France association – more so than any other department. Most are unspoilt and medieval, and some fall within the Via Podiensis GR65 pilgrim route to Saint Jacques de Compostelle, which crosses the department.
Aveyron has a healthy tradition of handicrafts, and is home to the famous Couteau de Laguiole knife, with its distinctive slim styling and bee emblem. Its most famous delicacy is Roquefort cheese, produced in the village of the same name.
Its prefecture is Rodez, with museums, a rich historical centre, parks and an aquatic centre.
The ten plus beaux villages de France: Belcastel, with its 15th century castle, Brousse-le-Château, with an 11th century fortress, La Couvertoirade, known as the jewel of the Larzac, Conques, a major stop on the Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, Estaing, with several medieval buildings, Najac, a medieval village, Peyre, with stone houses and a troglodyte church, Saint-Côme-d'Olt, an unchanged medieval village, Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt, with traditional pebble-built houses, and Sauveterre-de-Rouergue, built around a large, arcaded square.
The architecture in Aveyron is as varied as its landscape, and this is a popular area for second homes. Buildings on the higher plateaux have steeply pitched roofs covered with split stones, or lauzes. In the west, farmhouses have tiled roofs and external stone staircases leading to covered balconies or bolets. The colour of the stone ranges from creamy white to dark honey to umber red around Rodez.


There are three ways of bringing sickness onto the path: best, intermediate and inferior.
The best way is simply to leave any intense pain that accompanies your sickness just as it is, without seeking to remedy it, and by settling into it relaxedly, to allow the essence of the pain to arise as an experience of emptiness beyond conceptual elaboration.
The intermediate way is to consider that the suffering and harmful influences (dön) that afflict sentient beings are all included within the intense pain accompanies your sickness. Then, by bringing this pain onto the path and eliminating it together with the mental afflictions, it can become a support for virtuous practice.
The inferior way is to recognise sickness as a repayment for past negative actions. Without employing any method to alleviate it, do not react with aversion, but understand that it arises through the compassion of the Three Jewels, and, in this way, you will purify harmful actions and obscurations.


"I'm so pleased we have moved Arthur to swim with you. With the small classes it is so much better value for money and much more enjoyable for him. Glad we found you!"

On May 18, solidarity actions were held in New York City and in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, to protest the recent assassination of Zapatista José Luis Solís López, better known as Galeano, who was murdered by paramilitary forces earlier this month.
Within Mexico, organizers announced that solidarity caravans will travel to La Realidad to "hug the family members of Galeano and the Zapatista grassroots." Meanwhile, more than 75 communiques from various organizations and individuals expressed their condemnation of the paramilitary attacks, including writers and activists such as Arundathi Roy, Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Immanuel Wallerstein, Ivon LeBot, Kristinn Hrafnsson, Manuel Castells, Michael Hardt, Gustavo Esteva and Pierre Beaucage.
The National Indigenous Congress explained: "It is an aggression against all of us who are learning from the many Zapatista teachers who continue teaching us what the face of liberty looks like." The group demanded "an end to the war against our Zapatista brothers and sisters, and punishment for the intellectual and material authors" of the murder.
On May 2, Galeano was murdered in the community of La Realidad in the Mexican state of Chiapas. According to the Good Government Junta — the Zapatistas' governing body — those responsible for Galeano's murder were paramilitary forces that came from two rightwing parties, the Green Ecologist Party and the National Action Party, as well as the Independent Center for Agricultural Workers and Historic Peasants. Galeano was murdered by three gunshots after he, unarmed, was surrounded and refused to surrender.
The attack took place on the eve of a meeting that the Zapatistas had planned to hold with other indigenous organizations and indigenous people of Mexico during which spokesperson Subcomandante Marcos had planned possibly to reappear after a public absence of nearly six years. During the attack, a number of people were injured, and a Zapatista school and health clinic in La Realidad, both of which were symbols of the movement's autonomy, were destroyed.
Galeano is the first Zapatista from the supportive communities, known in the movement as the "bases of support," to be killed by paramilitary government forces since 2003. He served as a teacher during the recent escuelita, when thousands of students from across Mexico and abroad came to learn from the movement. His murder further reveals the ongoing counterinsurgent war that is carried out by Mexican government across Zapatista territory. This counterinsurgency, which began after the uprising in 1994, seeks to erode and wear out Zapatistas' struggle to build autonomous institutions such as schools, clinics, hospitals and its own system of government. In response to the attack, the Zapatistas are asking for justice rather than vengeance, expressing once more their fight for peace.
La Realidad, the area of the attack, is a tropical forest region where indigenous Tojolabal Mayans live. During the Zapatista Army for National Liberation's struggle in 1994, the community served as the base camp for the Zapatistas leadership and the area became emblematic of the struggle. It was also in La Realidad where the Zapatistas had the first encounters with the federal government. In February 1995, thousands of Mexican troops entered the community to try to detain the Zapatista spokesperson Subcomandante Marcos, who was forced to flee into the jungle alongside hundreds of children, women and elderly people in order to avoid violent repression by the military.
In 2003, when the Zapatistas organized its autonomous communities into five regions called caracoles, which translates to "snail" in Spanish, La Realidad became known as "The Mother of the Caracoles of the Sea of our Dreams." Without accepting any resources from the Mexican government, and with their own efforts and daily work, members of the Zapatistas founded the first of the now 32 autonomous rebel municipalities in the caracol of La Realidad. This site is where the first generation of the Zapatistas autonomous government was born.
After the assassination, some of the Mexican mainstream media reported that the death came from conflict from within the community, without waiting for a statement from La Realidad's Good Government Junta or from human rights organizations that have mediated conflicts in the area. But in a communique, the Zapatistas refuted this account of events.
"This was not about a problem within the community, where different groups confronted one another, caught up in the heat of the moment," the Zapatistas wrote in the communique. "This was something planned. [Galeano] did not fall into a surprise ambush …. He was surrounded by 15 or 20 paramilitaries — and yes, that's what they are, their tactics are paramilitary."
Galeano was born in the community of Nueva Victoria in the municipality of San Pedro Michoacán, which is a community in La Realidad in the southern jungle zone of Chiapas. In the first issue of the Zapatista Rebellion print magazine, published this past February, Galeano wrote his reflections on the escuelita, known in English as the Little School of Liberty According to the Zapatistas.
"Now they have seen with their own eyes and felt the sacrifice that we make in order for us to achieve everything we have," he wrote. "They lived here with Zapatista families, and they realized how much sacrifice and suffering that family experiences in order to harvest, to get the resources they need to sustain themselves, and to resist bad governance."
For Galeano, the escuelita was "a way for us to communicate, to know other people from the city, from our country, and from the world. It is a bridge for us to communicate through."
In response to the attack and at the invitation of the Good Government Junta, part of the general command of the Zapatista Army for National Liberation has relocated to La Realidad in order to investigate the attack and assassination. Upon arrival, the Zapatista Army explained that it could bring further violence to La Realidad if it relocates to the region and takes up the investigation.
"Do you want us here to look into this problem and ensure justice, or would you prefer we go elsewhere? Because you could now suffer direct persecution from the governments and their police and military," the army explained.
Nevertheless, Galeano's son insisted that the Zapatista general command should stay and find who killed his father, and Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés is heading up the investigation.
Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés and Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos are also listening to the voices of those living in La Realidad, and Marcos has dedicated himself to writing down the words of these compañeros. In one of his entries he recounts that, as one person was crying, another Zapatista explained, "Compañero Subcomandante Insurgente, don't misunderstand our tears. They are not tears of sadness, they are tears of rebellion."
The last communique signed by Subcomandante Marcos announced that on May 24 all of the caracoles will pay tribute to Galeano.
"It would be good if on that day, others do something to pay tribute in their places, according to their own modes and times," he also wrote.
In the postscript of the communique, Marcos reiterated the Zapatistas' commitment to peace, even in the face of violence.
"If you ask me to summarize our laborious path in few words, it would be: Our efforts are for peace, theirs are for war."

Finding the best SD card for your device is not always easy. In many cases, we have to look for products with specific characteristics, such as certain data transfer capacity or a size that is not less than or greater than certain quantities of GBs. And it is not the same a 16 GB micro SD card for your mobile that a high demand card for a camera that records in 4K.

The Swastika is a symbol that is said to have a 12,000-year-old history(I) and is occasionally suggested as having an Atlantean link. This is highly improbable as modern research has suggested that it was more likely to have originally represented an ancient cometary display in the sky(c), explaining the ubiquity of the symbol around the world. Fernando Coimbra wrote a paper(h)on this subject in 2011.
In 1896, the Smithsonian Institution published an extensive paper by Thomas Wilson (1832-1902), a curator at the U.S. National Museum, demonstrating the global spread of the swastika symbol[1466].
Another site demonstrates the widespread use of the swastika and its variants in commercial iconography(d). In April 2014, a well illustrated report(k) revealed that a 7,000-year-old piece of pottery with a swastika on it was discovered in Bulgaria.
I recall that my native Dublin had a firm, founded in 1912 by a Mr. Brittain, called the Swastika Laundry, which had their vans liveried in bright red with a white swastika on a black background. The business lasted into the 1960's.>However, the use of the swastika in Ireland goes back much further, perhaps to pre-Christian times. St. Brigid, one of Ireland's patron saints, is generally thought to be a christianised version of the Celtic goddess Brighid. St.Brigid's Cross, a popular symbol of the saint found all over Ireland, is considered to be a variant of the swastika. One Indian gentleman was amazed when he encountered a swastika inside the Catholic church at Ballintubber Abbey in Co. Mayo(s).<
James Churchward claimed that the swastika was a symbol of his invented civilisation, Mu, while Robert Stacy-Judd speculated[607.243] that it had originated in Atlantis. Others have attempted(e) to link the swastika and its presentation in red, white and black to be in some way connected with Plato's reference to the colours of the rocks found in Atlantis. In a 1959 article in Sykes' Atlantis magazine by Arthur Louis Joquel II declared(o) that the swastika had been the symbol of Atlantis! No evidence was offered.
Leaving conjecture aside it can be demonstrated that the swastika was an ancient Hindu symbol and also used in the Indus Valley civilisation(b).>In fact the use of the swastika has now been traced back to circa 10,000 BC. This image is included in the incredibly well-illustrated lecture by Robert M. Chapple, which also includes a large section with many images of swastikas used from early christian times in Ireland until the present(r).<
While Heinrich Schliemann was excavating Troy at Hissarlik, he discovered many hundreds of swastikas throughout the site and was responsible for bringing what had been, until then, a benign symbol back to Germany, where it was later hijacked by the Nazis and came to represent oppression(n).
The long honourable history of the swastika should not be erased because of its abuse at the hands of the Nazis. The residents of Swastika in Ontario, have for decades steadfastly refused to change the name of their community, which has been in use since 1907.
In 1925, the people of Panama's indigenous province of Guna Yala adopted a flag having a black left-facing swastika, said to represent the four directions and the creation of the world(p).>Also in the Americas, Gary A. David has highlighted the use of the swastika in a more benign way by the Hopi of northern Arizona along with its innocent use in other cultures including the Minoans, as well as in 20th century USA(q).<
Jacques Gossart wrote a book[341] on the history of the swastika and in Denys Eissart's now inactive website, L'épopée atlante (The Atlantis Epic) he devoted a page to a discussion on the subject(a). More recently Richard Cassaro has published two articles(f)(g) highlighting the extensive use of the swastika. The articles are well illustrated including some fascinating images. He also attempts, unsuccessfully in my view, to suggest a link between swastika and Atlantis. A Reclaim the Swastika website(j) is campaigning for the promotion of the swastika as a spiritual symbol as it had been in the past.
A number of large swastika shaped features have been spotted from the air(m).

Allen, J.M.
J.M. Allen, a Scotsman, worked in the 1970's as an expert in satellite mapping with the British Royal Air Force. He was also a researcher of ancient measuring systems. The combination of these two interests led to a conviction that Plato's Atlantis could be matched with a site in the Altiplano of Bolivia,which he outlined in his book Atlantis: The Andes Solution[0040]. Coincidentally, in the same year, Tony Morrison published an article entitled The Bolivian Atlantis(k-n).
Allen's case is primarily based on the discovery of a vast canal network in the region together with aerial photography indicating concentric rings on the ground. His chosen site of Pampa Aullagus contains red, white and black rock reminiscent of the Atlantean masonry described by Plato.
In a TV documentary that focused on his theory it was suggested that the other nine kingdoms that comprised the Atlantean domain were probably to be found in South America.
Allen has also written Decoding Ezekiel's Temple(a), which discusses ancient measuring methods.
In 2008 Allen delivered three papers to the 2nd Atlantis Conference[750] in Athens. All three papers are available online in pdf format(g)(h)(i).
2009 saw the publication of a second book, Atlantis: Lost Kingdom of the Andes[207] designed to reinforce his original thesis of Atlantis on the Altiplano of Bolivia. A trilogy was completed in 2010 with the publication of The Atlantis Trail (Kindle)which records his travels in the Andes in search of Atlantis(b). A small hotel is now being built in Pampa Aullagus to cater for increased number of tourists, no doubt in response to the work of Jim Allen.
In 2012, Allen published Atlantis and the Persian Empire, which is available to download as a free pdf file(c). This work is really just a reprise of his earlier writings. In this somewhat provocatively titled book he claims that Plato took the geography of the Atlantis story from the Andes, a theme he has been promoting since 1998.
However, he also maintains that the military history in Plato's narrative was based on the war between Athens and the Persian Empire in the 5th century BC. Another of his more exotic claims is that the Sea Peoples were from South America. Allen devotes a considerable part of the book to ancient South American metrology and ends with a comparison of relative merits of the Altiplano versus Santorini as the inspiration behind Plato's Atlantis story.
An extensive critique of Allen's theories is offered by Timothy J.Stephany on his website(e). Nevertheless, although I consider Allen's basic theory regarding Atlantis unacceptable, I find that part of his website showing images(f) of an extensive range of artefacts demonstrate most eloquently that South American civilisation was heavily influenced by distant cultures, both east and west.
Support for Allen's views has continued into 2013(d), despite those elements of his theory that still conflict with Plato's narrative: dating, dimensions and the improbability of an invasion of the eastern Mediterranean by a force from the west coast South America! However, I have found that in 1900, Peter de Roo devoted chapter seven of his History of America before Columbus[890.v1] to a review of the idea that at various times native Americans travelled eastward and among other things were responsible for the settling of Egypt!
Allen's site offers an extensive article on the life and research of Posnansky, including excerpts from his work(j).

Geology is one of the many 'ologies' brought into play by modern Atlantis studies. Plato records that the stone quarries of Atlantis produced red, white and black rock that was extensively used to adorn the capital port city.
Stone with all these colours are usually associated with volcanic eruptions in the form of tufa, pumice and lava. The Central Mediterranean is home to the most seismically and volcanically unstable region in that entire 2,300 mile long sea.
Plato also notes that "at a later time" following exceptional earthquakes (Tim. 25d), Atlantis was devastated by inundation and the Athenians wiped out by being "swallowed up by the earth". The proponents of the Iberian Atlantis, such as Diaz-Montexano, will have to explain the geology that would simultaneously cause such destruction at two points separated by over 1,500 miles assuming that if they were that far apart and that the two events were concurrent.
However, the answer may lie in the fact that before Plato the terms 'Atlantic' and 'Pillars of Heracles' had meanings other than what we understand by them today. The western Mediterranean was known to some as the Atlantic Sea and the straits of Sicily and Messina, between Africa and Italy, were, among other locations, referred to as the Pillars of Heracles. In order to share the consequences of even severe earthquakes would place Atlantis at it nearest to Athens somewhere in the vicinity of Malta, only 500 miles away. There is clear evidence of such seismic convulsions in that region.
Another view of Atlantean geology is offered by Carl Martin(a). He opts for the Azores as the remnants of Atlantis which was destroyed by post-glacial crustal adjustments. He speculates that Atlantis "might have suffered from the effect of rebound compensation?", and wonders if it "could have been "sucked" down to make up for the crustal rise in North America and Northern Europe?"
R. Cedric Leonard also advocates the Azores as Atlantis based mainly on the oceanographic surveys of over half a century ago(b).>Also in the mid-twentieth century there were still efforts to justify a view of geology and Atlantis based on what are now outdated theories such as the different views held by Hörbiger and Malaise(d).<
The announcement in May 2013 that part of a previously unknown mini-continent had been found in the Atlantic, 900 miles off the coast of Brazil, immediately got some of the print media linking it to Atlantis(c). It should be kept in mind that Plato never described Atlantis as a continent, but consistently referred to it as an island, which along with other islands led to a continent. Even today travellers going from Sicily to Southern Italy, refer to going to the 'continente'.

Intel set to hike chip prices amid supply chain crisis: Report
In April, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that he expects the semiconductor industry to suffer supply shortages until 2024.
Indo-Asian News Service| Posted by Mansoor Hameed | Published: 14th July 2022 10:30 pm IST
New Delhi: Chip-maker Intel is rising prices on a broad range of microprocessors owing to a supply-chain crisis in the tough global macro-economic environment, the media reported on Thursday.
According to Nikkei Asia, the company informed customers that it "will raise prices on a majority of its microprocessors and peripheral chip products later this year, citing rising costs".
The company is yet to finalise price hikes which could take Intel's flagship products such as central processing units for servers and computers into account, according to the report.
The hike will also include products like chips for Wi-Fi and other connectivity options.

Gelsinger explained that the issue may drag on due to a lack of key manufacturing components.
"In the supply chain, lockdowns in Shanghai and the war in Ukraine have demonstrated more than ever that the world needs more resilient and more geographically balanced semiconductor manufacturing," he said.
The chip shortage cost the US economy $240 billion last year.
"We expect the industry will continue to see challenges until at least 2024 in areas like foundry capacity and tool availability," Gelsinger noted.
According to Counterpoint research, Global semiconductor chip shortages are likely to continue easing during the second half of 2022 as demand-supply gaps decrease across most components.
