New Joker War Batsuit Is Here and It Is Very…Interesting.
BY Roman Colombo July 23, 2020July 22, 2020
Batman has had more wardrobe changes than a runway model during fashion week. It's part of the fun of the character; Batman is always adapting to whatever crisis he faces. Sometimes those crises demand underpants on the outside or very big pointy ears. Or a rainbow. The Lego Batman Movie mocked this brilliantly with the massive Bat-closet that included classics such as "disco Batman" and "Merman Batman." Well, as Tony Stark says in Iron Man 3, it's time to meet the "bouncing, badass, baby brother." In the kickoff to Joker War, Lucius Fox and Batman discover a brand new batsuit. It's definitely…different.

It's a bad sign that neither Lucius Fox nor Batman even know where this suit comes from. Aside from the new Batsuit and the one he's wearing, however, Joker controls everything in Batman's war arsenal. Joker took control over the Wayne fortune and all of Batman's toys. So, a new Batsuit, especially one this armored up, looks like it would be a godsend. But will Batman risk wearing it, not knowing who designed it? Does he even have a choice?
Who Designed the New Batsuit and Why it Matters
A look at the new suit. (Batman #100, Variant Cover, DC Comics)
The style itself might give a little away. At first glance, it looks like a cross between Silver Samurai, Green Lantern, and a dash of Cyborg. The most interesting part of the new costume, however, is what it lacks: black and gray. The belt and some of the armor has a greenish-gray to them, but more on the olive drab side. The cape is a bright blue, but the inside could be gray or greenish—we'll have to see it in action to determine if this is just shading or not. The body is a deep emerald green, and the cowl, gauntlets, and boots are a metallic almost turquoise. Then there's that bright glowing bat symbol on his chest.
Best guesses? Alfred designed this before he died, as a contingency in case one of their many villains compromised Fox (which Joker has). Judging by the samurai-like armor, it could even come from Ra's Al Ghul or Tahlia. But to fight the Joker, one of the most likely people to design this new batsuit is the Joker—especially in war, Joker is chaotic and unpredictable. Regardless, Bruce better hope it's enough to take down the Joker and get his fortune back. Otherwise, Gotham is in a lot of trouble.
What do you think of the new design? Tell us in the comments below.

'Key for Two': Just When You Think It Can't Get Any Funnier, Then It Does!

Elizabeth Replogle (Magda) and Charlene Sloan (Harriet)
ALEXANDRIA, VA. - To set the mood prior to showtime, a track of 1980s music, including Billy Joel's and Barbara Streisand's plays and curtain is open, revealing Harriet's (Charlene Sloan's) Regency flat in England. The multi-colored flat is where Harriet, a divorcee who needs help paying the bills, plays mistress to two men, Peter Harrold (Gordon) and Cal Whitehurst (Alex).Travis Downing's set includes not only a bedroom and a living room, but also Charles Dragonette's choices of gold metallic wall art.
Dave Freeman's and John Chapman's writing, coupled with EleanoreTapscott directing, leads to a very funny production of Key for Two. The show also features Dana Gattuso (Anne) as Harriet's childhood friend who has left her husband, Richard (Justin Latus) and is paying a surprise visit.
Harriet schedules her married lovers'--Gordon's and Alex's--visits so that they are like ships passing in the night. That is, until both deviate from her schedule and arrived at her flat on the same day. Gordon's wife, Magda (Elizabeth Replogle) and later Alec's wife, Mildred (Liz LeBoo) are right on their heels. Harriet's tangled web of deception continues to devolve when Anne and, eventually, her drunken husband Richard, arrive. Mistaken identities and further falsehoods hilariously follow.
Both acts are set in Harriet's apartment, with the second act becoming even funnier than the first when Harriet tries to pass off her flat as a hospital where Anne pretends to be a nurse.
The costumes (Julia Cofrancesco's) hint at '80s styles without being distracting, so there were neither legwarmers nor neon sweatshirts. For example, Harriet's red shoulder-padded dress and feathered hairstyle were retro without going over the top, as were the slightly wider ties than men wear today. Such subtle nods to the '80s allowed the witty repartee and classic dry British sense of humor to shine through without distraction.
Tapscott's love and aptitude for directing British farces shows in the actor's comedic timing, especially during the second half. For example, Dana Gattuso supports Harriet's charade by vacillating between the characters of Anne and of a hospital nurse when the wives come by. Meanwhile, LeBoo's skeptical "straight man" version of Mildred provides perfect contrast to Harriet and her charades.
The show features Harrold's Gordon as a British advertising executive, Whitehurst's Alex as a fisherman, and Latus's Richard as Ann's intoxicated and estranged veterinarian husband. A big element of the show's success is that the actors go right to the edge of hilarity but stop short of going over the top.
This subtlety, thanks to a dialect coach (Cheryl Sinsabaugh), continues with everyone's British accents, and especially with Anne's New Zealand accent, which shows further nuances.
Enjoy "Key for Two" before the Little Theatre of Alexandria's performances end on March 18, 2017. The theater is at 600 Wolfe Street, in Alexandria, VA. For tickets, either call (703) 683-0496 or visit www.thelittletheatre.org.

1. How is a message of human survival being published today, and where is it found?
TODAY the survival of the human race is in question, if we are to judge from statements made by militarists, scientists and economists. But, no matter how disquieting the statement of their fears may be, there is an authoritative message of survival now being published. Hence there are people today who believe in the survival of the human race. These few who have such a remarkable belief are being heard widely today. They are publishing everywhere the "word of life." That life-giving word is contained in the Holy Bible, which is the Word from the Fountain of life, Jehovah God.
2. (a) With what distribution would the publishing of the "word of life" reasonably have to be accompanied? (b) How would the introduction to James' letter and the time when he wrote it indicate such a distribution?
2 Since the "word of life" is contained on the pages of the Holy Bible, the publishing of the "word of life" would reasonably have to be accompanied by the publishing and distributing of the Bible. That Book was meant to be spread around everywhere. Various prophecies in it show that. Introductions to a number of letters in the Bible indicate that. For example, the disciple James, in writing his letter to the symbolic "twelve tribes" of Christian Israel, opened it by saying: "James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are scattered about: Greetings!" (Jas. 1:1) How widely scattered abroad were the "tribes" by then, especially if James wrote his letter about A.D. 60, or about twenty-seven years after the holy spirit was poured out in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost? On that day about three thousand Jews and proselytes were converted to accept Jesus as Lord and Master and Messiah or Christ, the Son of God; and Acts 2:5-11 tells us that they were from "every nation of those under heaven," Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Egypt, Libya, Rome, Crete and Arabia. When these departed from Jerusalem after the festival of Pentecost was over, they returned to these distant parts of the earth. In order to reach all these believers of the spiritual "twelve tribes" of Israel, James' letter had to be copied and widely circulated about.
3. (a) Why would the letter to the Hebrews have to be circulated as widely as James'? (b) Why would Peter's first letter have to be circulated?
3 Likewise, the fifty-eighth book of the Bible is directly addressed to the Hebrews, that is, to Hebrew Christians; and for this letter to reach them, it would have to be circulated just as widely as James' letter. (Heb. 1:1) The introduction of the apostle Peter's first letter reads: "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the temporary residents scattered about in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, to the ones chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father." (1 Pet. 1:1, 2) Thus Peter's letter required circulation; and unless his original letter was slowly passed from one congregation to another, copies must have been made and distributed among all the congregations included in his introduction.
4. (a) Why did the last book of the Bible also require circulation? (b) How is Paul shown to have encouraged circulation of his letters, and who in Babylon was familiar with his letters?
4 The last book of the Bible, A Revelation to John, is addressed by John to the "seven congregations that are in the district of Asia," in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. Hence this last book of the "word of life" required circulation also. The apostle Paul was a great letter writer. He supplied fourteen of the letters found in the Christian Greek Scriptures of the Holy Bible. Paul especially encouraged the circulation of his letters, he writing to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians and Hebrews generally. In his letter to the Christians at Colossae he said in his conclusion: "When this letter has been read among you, arrange that it also be read in the congregation of the Laodiceans and that you also read the one from Laodicea." (Col. 4:16) Even the apostle Peter, when he was writing from Babylon in Mesopotamia, spoke of his familiarity with the letters of Paul. (2 Pet. 3:15; 1 Pet. 5:13) All the evidence is that those first-century Christians were sharing the "word of life" with others in this dying world.
5. (a) What manuscript copies of the Christian Greek Scriptures are still in existence? (b) Whom did Christian copyists have as an example for copying the Scriptures, and how could they produce the complete Bible?
5 Today there are still in existence about 4,000 manuscript copies of the twenty-seven books found in the Christian Greek Scriptures, none of these, however, being of the first century. Besides this, there are around 8,000 manuscript copies in a Latin translation, and around 1,000 manuscript copies of translations in still other languages. As regards making copies, the early Christians, the first of whom were Jews or Hebrews, had an example in the Jewish scribes or Sopherim, who, from the days of Ezra the priestly scribe or copyist, made handwritten copies of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures for the Jewish synagogues. The synagogues came to be established all around, inside and outside the Roman Empire, wherever the Jews were scattered. Thus it was possible to go into a synagogue in Antioch in Pisidia, Asia Minor, and hear the Hebrew Scriptures read; or in Beroea, Macedonia; or in Rome, Italy. (Acts 13:14, 15; 17:10, 11; 28:16-23) So the Hebrew Scriptures had a then worldwide circulation. Accordingly, besides copying the Christian Greek Scriptures, the Christian copyists could make copies of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures or of its Greek Septuagint translation, if they could not buy copies from the Jewish vendors or sellers. They could thus make copies of the complete Bible of sixty-six inspired books.
6. (a) How were the Christians under a command different from that of the Jews as regards publicity? (b) This "word of life" is what kind of word, as demonstrated by Jesus during temptation?
6 Under the law of Moses the Jews were under command to keep to themselves, or separate from the Gentiles. The Christian congregations, however, were under command by the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, and his apostles to move out, to become unitedly the greatest publicity organization on earth, a Christian organization specializing on publishing to the whole dying world the "word of life," the good news of God's kingdom. This "word of life" is not a mere verbal tradition, a message handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. It is a written Word, that remains unchanged by time or circumstances and that can be read, analyzed and compared with the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. That is why Jesus Christ himself, who is called "the Word of God" and "the word of life," could repulse the Devil's temptations by saying repeatedly: "It is written," and then quoting the written Bible—Scriptures!—Matt. 4:1-10.
7. (a) What did Jesus predict regarding the good news in our day? (b) For this to be accomplished, what has it required, and to what extent has this been done by now?
7 Pointing forward to our days, days that have been marked by world war, famine, pestilences, earthquakes and perplexity of the nations because of their approaching end in the universal war of Armageddon, Jesus said: "Also, in all the nations the good news has to be preached first." (Mark 13:8-13) For the good news of eternal life through God's kingdom under Christ to be preached and understood in all the nations, it had to be translated into the languages of the peoples of those nations. To this end, because the Holy Bible is a book with a message from God for the whole world, it has been translated into more languages than any other book in human history. By this year 1961 it had already been translated in whole or in part into 1,165 languages and dialects, so that, if everybody on earth were taught to read in his own language, the Bible or parts of it could be read by 90 percent of the world's population.
8. What is reported about Bible translation in behalf of the peoples in Asia and Africa and island peoples?
9. When especially were Bible societies established, and what have popes of Rome said about such societies?
10. In spite of Catholic disapproval what work went on, and what were established in Europe and America?
11. What society was incorporated in 1884, and what has it kept printing till now?
11 Comparatively late, but in God's due time, in 1884 there was incorporated at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, what is known today as Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Though a special target of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and of the Protestant clergy as well, the Watch Tower Society has kept printing Bibles till now and is the publishing agent used by Jehovah's witnesses.
12. Since the forming of Bible societies, how great has been the putting out of the Bible, and how is this keeping up with the growth of the world population?
12 Since the formation of all these Bible societies the publishing and distributing of the Holy Bible has been enormous, more than two thousand million copies having been put out, in whole or in part. This past year there was a world distribution of 30 million copies by all Bible societies, many of these being New Testaments, or the Christian Greek Scriptures. However, the world population increases by 45 million persons a year, or half again as many as the number of copies of the Holy Scriptures. So the production of copies of the Scriptures is not keeping up with the world population. Yet we must remember that much of this population increase is in Communist Russia and Red China, which are behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains, so that their peoples cannot easily be reached.
13. How is the crying need for putting out more Bibles shown in the experience of one Bible society this past year?
13 There is a crying need for the distributing of more Bibles. One Bible society reported that there had been "an astonishing increase in circulation of Holy Scripture in areas of political tension and revolution"; that in Cuba and the African Congo, for instance, the society's stocks were exhausted; that fresh printings had to be made and new books rushed, sometimes by air, to supply the demands of religious organizations in those areas of turmoil; that, in co-operation with other Bible societies, in seventy-five countries, the organization had put out more than 23 million pieces of Scripture last year, which means an increase of 32 percent over the distribution during 1959.—New York Times, May 12, 1961.
14. Why may much of this vast Bible distribution have been in vain, and how only can the Bible be understood?
14 Here it is proper to ask some questions: How much of this vast Bible distribution has been in vain? Recently there has occurred what is called a "reading explosion," so that doubtless more persons are reading the Bible. But will Bible reading alone impart life to the reader? Does such Bible reading, begun by an individual with much enthusiasm and appreciation, fall off after a while and this book become just another stacked away on his library shelf? Can the Bible be understood and harmonized by the individual reader by himself? God gave the Bible, not to an individual, but to a nation, first the Hebrew nation, and then to what Peter calls God's "holy nation," which is the "Israel of God," whose circumcision is not in the flesh but in the heart. It is thus an organization Book. It can be understood only in company with God's true visible organization, the one filled with his holy spirit.—1 Pet. 2:9; Gal. 6:12-16.
15. How does the case of the Ethiopian Bible reader illustrate that the Bible cannot be understood unaided by someone else?
15 Remember the Ethiopian Bible reader. He was returning from the temple in Jerusalem and reading aloud Isaiah's prophecy as he rode along. Directed by God's angel, the Christian evangelizer Philip hailed the chariot and asked this Ethiopian court official whether he understood what he was reading. Honestly the Ethiopian answered: "Really, how could I ever do so, unless someone guided me?" He invited Philip to step aboard and then listened to Philip explain the prophecy to him from the Christian standpoint. Now he understood to the point of desiring to become a follower of Jesus Christ, "the Word of God." On driving near to a body of water he asked: "What prevents me from getting baptized?" After baptizing him Philip left and the Ethiopian convert went on his way rejoicing.—Acts 8:26-39.
16. Through whom did the Bible have to be explained, as illustrated in the case of the Berean Bible-reading Jews?
16 Remember also the Bible-reading Jews in Beroea in Macedonia. They heard the Law and the Prophets read in their synagogues and also studied these Scriptures privately, but never understood. Then along came the apostle Paul and he went into their synagogue. What he told them was new and different to them. But they were noble-minded about the matter. In what way? "They received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so. Therefore many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the reputable Greek women and of the men." (Acts 17:10-12) To understand the Bible for their salvation they had to have it explained through God's organization.
17. What questions must be asked as regards the reading of the Bible in Jewish synagogues and in Christendom's churches and homes?
17 From then and over these nineteen centuries till now the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms have been read in the Jewish synagogues, along with the comment of their rabbis. But has that saved the Jews? As for the reading of the complete Bible having both the Hebrew and the Christian Greek parts in the churches and the homes of the non-Jews, is this Bible reading by them as members of Christendom's many sectarian religious denominations saving these hundreds of millions of Bible hearers or readers?
18. What makes it evident that all such Bible reading is in vain?
18 In this perplexing day how much of this religious Bible reading is aiding the readers to make right decisions on the vital issues of these times, now when we are living in the "conclusion of the system of things" and when the nations are on judgment before God regarding the supreme issue of universal sovereignty—by Jehovah God or by Satan the Devil? In spite of the Bible reading that the people hear or do in connection with Christendom's religious systems, the people continue to conform themselves to this old world just the same as the atheists, the agnostics, the skeptics and the pagans do. They are not preparing themselves to meet the "war of the great day of God the Almighty," by lining up with God's kingdom, the good news of which is being preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations. (Matt. 24:14) Evidently their personal Bible reading is in vain. So what is needed?
19. (a) What may be said in commendation of putting out the Bible by itself? (b) But by what else must the Bible be supplemented as illustrated by the cases of the Ethiopian and the Berean Bible readers?
19 As in the case of the Ethiopian and the Berean Bible readers, there is an instructor, guide or teacher needed, one who is filled with God's holy spirit and under God's guidance as Philip and Paul were. Philip and Paul were no longer of the cast-off Jewish religious church but were now of God's newly chosen organization, his "chosen race," his "holy nation," his "people for special possession," filled with his spirit. We agree that Bible translating and publishing and distributing is a commendable thing. There is no book better to deal with than the Holy Bible. It is symbolically called the "sword of the spirit"; and certainly it is better to manufacture and distribute the "sword of the spirit" than to engage in the arms race and in making the munitions of carnal warfare, which only result in injuring, maiming and killing. But the Bible must be supplemented by something else. No, not by the traditions of men who were religious leaders of Christendom or of Judaism. The Bible must be supplemented by dedicated, baptized persons of God's organization whom he sends forth to preach and teach.
20. What parting words of Jesus to his followers are still applicable, and so what is needed in conjunction with Bibles distributed?
20 Nineteen centuries of time have not taken away the force and applicableness of Jesus' parting words to his followers: "Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." (Matt. 28:19, 20) Down into the present "conclusion of the system of things" there is need of teaching by the sent ones in conjunction with the Holy Bible, the written Word of God.
21. What do the words of Paul and those of James show as to the mere readers and hearers of the Word of life and those doing it?
21 Call to mind Paul's words: "There is no partiality with God. For instance, all those who sinned without law will also perish without law; but all those who sinned under law will be judged by law. For the hearers of law [but who sin under it] are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous." (Rom. 2:11-13) Also James' words: "Become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning. For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is. But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in it, this man, because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing it." (Jas. 1:22-25) So not the mere readers of the Bible, nor the mere hearers of the Bible, but the doers of the Word of life are the ones who are approved and who will be rewarded with life.
22. (a) What, then, must we do besides publishing and distributing Bibles? (b) Also besides publishing books explaining the Bible?
22 What, then? We must not only publish and distribute Bibles but also live the Bible. We must not only put Bibles in people's homes; we must also go back and help them to understand the Bible that we make it possible for them to read. We must arrange for them to have with us a home Bible study in order for them to see the truth of the Bible according to revealed scriptures and according to prophecies fulfilled in this "conclusion of the system of things." We must help them to see the truth according to God's dealings with the visible organization that he has chosen and is using to publish the "word of life." Also, we must not only publish books about or in explanation of the Bible; we must also help the Bible readers to understand these Bible-explaining books, and to prove the things set forth in such books by their own copies of the Bible.
23. (a) In what respects should we all copy the greatest Bible teacher ever on earth? (b) Doing so, what do we all publish?
23 In this activity we must especially copy the greatest Bible teacher on earth, Jesus Christ, who is God's Word personified. When God poured out his spirit upon him, Jesus was commissioned to preach. (Isa. 61:1-3; Luke 4:16-21) The work that he was commissioned to do he did, although there is no record that Jesus put out one copy of the Holy Scriptures. He left the making of copies of the Scriptures and the distributing of these to the Jewish scribes or copyists of his day. He specialized, not on copying Scripture or making Bible copies, but on teaching what was already copied of the Bible. He used people's own copies of the Scriptures or those kept in the synagogues. (Luke 4:17, 20) Not all of us can be Bible printers, but we can be Bible distributors and, especially, Bible teachers. This in particular is how we all publish the "word of life" today.
24. What are the facts with regard to Jehovah's witnesses in the use of Bible translations in their work from house to house?
24 "But Jehovah's witnesses have and use their own translation of the Bible," some critics will say in order to prejudice and stumble others regarding Bible teaching by Jehovah's witnesses. The Bible itself shows that it was written in its original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek) by Jehovah's witnesses, from Moses down to the apostle John, who wrote the last book of the Bible. But the many current translations of the original Bible were made by whom? By persons who claimed to be Jehovah's witnesses? No; but by men who were, for the most part, members of sectarian churches of Christendom. Today Jehovah's witnesses are doing the commanded teaching work in 158 languages, using not their own translations but those of the 1,165 translations already at hand for them to use. Where Bibles are already in the homes that Jehovah's witnesses visit in preaching from house to house, they use those Bibles or let the householders use such Bibles in conducting a home study of the "word of life." And yet with such Bibles Jehovah's witnesses are able to teach the same good news of God's established kingdom by Christ.
25, 26. (a) What do Jehovah's witnesses use as their legal servant, and what is its record as to printed Bible translations? (b) In preaching the Kingdom message, what Bible translation do Jehovah's witnesses use?
25 Jehovah's witnesses use as their administrative, publishing and legal servant the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society. It publishes English Bibles printed on its own presses in Brooklyn, New York. First, forty-two years after this Society was incorporated, it began to print on its own presses a Greek-English New Testament called The Emphatic Diaglott, which was produced by a Christadelphian twenty years before the Society was incorporated. Fifty-eight years after it was incorporated the Society began printing copies of the Authorized or King James Episcopalian Version of the Bible of the year 1611. Sixty years after it was incorporated the Society began to print copies of the American Standard Version Bible of 1901. And now seventy-seven years after it was incorporated, the Watch Tower Society produces for the first time, namely, in this year 1961, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures in one volume, under one cover, a Bible translation that came out in six successive separate volumes from 1950 to 1960. This is only in the English language and not usable by Jehovah's witnesses in the 157 other languages in which we preach and teach today in 181 lands.
26 So we do not need to have our own Bible translation in order to preach and teach the glorious message for which Jehovah's witnesses are distinguished from all the sects of Christendom—the good news of the established kingdom of Jehovah God and of his Christ. We use what Bibles are available in all languages.
27. (a) If not that of Bible translations, what is the real question today? (b) What, then, should the united publishers do with regard to the "word of life"?
See The Time Is at Hand, by C. T. Russell, published in 1889, page 322.


In 2018, Mars will appear brightest from July 27 to July 30. Its closest approach to Earth is July 31. That is the point in Mars' orbit when it comes closest to Earth. Mars will be at a distance of 35.8 million miles (57.6 million kilometers).

WASHINGTON, June 28 — President Bush's effort to overhaul the nation's immigration policy, a cornerstone of his domestic agenda, collapsed in the Senate today, with little hope that it can be revived before Mr. Bush leaves office in January 2009.
The bill called for the biggest changes to immigration law in more than 20 years, offering legal status to millions of illegal immigrants while trying to secure the nation's borders. But the Senate, forming blocs that defied party affiliation, could never unite on the legislation's key provisions. Rejecting the president's last-minute pleas, it voted 53 to 46 to turn back a motion to end debate and move toward final passage. Supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to close debate.
Mr. Bush placed telephone calls to lawmakers throughout the morning, but members of his party abandoned him in droves, with only 12 of the 49 Senate Republicans sticking by him on the key procedural vote that determined the bill's fate. Nearly one-third of Senate Democrats voted, in effect, to block action on the bill.
The bill called for the biggest changes in immigration law in more than 20 years. The vote followed an outpouring of criticism from conservatives and others who decried it as a form of amnesty for lawbreakers. The outcome was a bitter disappointment for Mr. Bush and other supporters of a comprehensive approach, including Hispanic and church groups, and employers who had been seeking greater access to foreign workers.
Both supporters and opponents said the measure was dead for the remainder of the Bush administration, although it is conceivable that individual pieces might be revived.
The vote reflected the degree to which Congress and the nation are polarized over the issue of immigration. The emotional end to what had been an emotional debate was evident today, with a few senior staff members who had invested months in writing the bill near tears at the result.
"The bill now dies," said Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, who helped write the measure.
The outcome also underscored the challenge that Mr. Bush faces in exerting authority and enacting an agenda at a time when members of his own party increasingly break with him and the Democrats no longer fear him. Having already given up on other ambitious second-term plans like overhauling Social Security, the White House has little prospect of winning any big new legislative achievements in the final 19 months of Mr. Bush's tenure.
But the collapse also highlighted the difficulties that the new Democratic leadership in Congress has had in showing that it can address the big problems facing the nation. In this case, Democratic leaders asserted that the failure of the immigration bill was a reflection on Mr. Bush's issue and not on their party.
In voting to end debate, the 12 Republicans were joined by 33 Democrats and 1 independent. Voting against the motion to end debate were 15 Democrats, 1 independent and 37 Republicans, including the minority leader, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Among the Democrats voting no were several up for re-election next year, including Senators Max Baucus of Montana, Tom Harkin of Iowa and John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia.
In the end, many of the groups who had supported pieces of the bill urged the Senate to pass it in the hope that it could be "improved" in the House.
Supporters of the bill agreed with opponents on one point: Many Americans believe that the government lacks the ability to carry out the huge responsibilities it would have had under the bill.
"People look out and they see the failures of government, whether it's Hurricane Katrina or the inability to get enough passports out for people, and they say, 'How is the government going to accomplish all of this?' " Ms. Feinstein said.
Opponents of the bill were elated.
Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, a leading opponent of the bill, said that talk radio was "a big factor" in derailing the immigration bill.
Supporters of the bill wanted to pass it quickly, "before Rush Limbaugh could tell the American people what was in it," Mr. Sessions said.

Local Living in the city, living off the land
Living in the city, living off the land
By: Eva Wasney Posted: 7:00 PM CDT Friday, Aug. 14, 2020
Audrey Logan hasn't been to a grocery store in more than a decade.
This article was published 14/08/2020 (897 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Métis, Nehiyaw Elder refers to herself as an urban bush woman who forages, grows and dehydrates all the food she needs from the neighbourhood around her West Broadway apartment. They are techniques she learned as a '60s Scoop survivor and traditional practices she later reclaimed from relatives who lived off the land.
"I can forage throughout the city here I can find grapes and cherries and apples and plums and all kind of things," Logan says. "You just knock on a person's door."
Elder Audrey Logan has been building an Indigenous gardening site at the old Klinic building on Broadway to teach and share traditional farming techniques. (Mike Deal / Winnipeg Free Press)
Born in Edmonton, she was taken away from her birth family at the age of three during the '60s Scoop — an era that started in Canada in the 1950s and saw child welfare agencies regularly removing Indigenous children from their homes for placement in foster care and adoption to white families. Logan was placed in a home that used children as farm labourers.
"By fostering kids they made extra money as well as had farm help," she says. "They were not very kind people."
She paid close attention to the farming practices used on the farm and came to the conclusion that most western methods, like monoculture planting, did more harm than good. At 13, she ran away from the home and used what she learned about plants to survive while evading child and family service agents.
"I had to move around a lot because if CFS finds you they lock you up and next thing you know you've got a police record, whether you did anything wrong or not," she says. "Everywhere I moved, I did people's backyards and gardens and thus fed myself and eventually my daughter.
In her 20s, Logan reconnected with her family in northern Alberta and spent time learning from her kookum and auntie, both of whom were skilled bush women.
However, her passion for traditional Indigenous agriculture began when she found out cultivated squash seeds had been discovered in the stomach of a mammoth. In 2015, students at Canadian Mennonite University made headlines when they successfully grew a squash from an 800-year-old seed found during an archaeological dig in what is now known as Wisconsin.
"It was a turning point finding out that none of this actually came from Europeans," she says. "We were the farmers here, we managed the land… all the tomatoes people grow, potatoes, your melons, beans, your squash — all of that's from Indigenous people thousands of years ago."
For the last six years, Logan has been promoting the history of Indigenous agriculture and teaching traditional methods at a community garden plot on the corner of Broadway and Good Street.
On a Tuesday in early July, the garden is a lush mess of berries, vegetables and medicinal plants growing in partnership with one another. Logan plants according to the lunar cycle and uses the seven sisters method — a traditional form of companion cropping — to plan the garden. Pulled weeds are left on the ground to build up the soil, a necessity since the garden is currently growing on only a foot of soil covering the foundation of a demolished house. Anyone is welcome to harvest food from the garden.
Despite health issues — she recently found out she needs a double lung transplant — Logan spends three evenings a week teaching and toiling in the garden.
"It's total therapy," she says. "Some people meditate and like the sound of the singing bowl, me, I like the crunch and the munch of the leaves."
Evan McIntosh has been joining Logan in the garden every week for almost a year. The 27-year-old grew up in a farming community in rural Manitoba, but didn't know much about growing food. His time watering, weeding and listening to Logan's teachings have turned him into a "farmer for life" and helped him connect to his Cree and Anishinaabe heritage.
"I like to eat food and garden food is the best, especially when you get to see it grow and actually have a hand in doing it, it's really empowering," McIntosh says, while picking a spinach-like plant called lamb's quarter to use in a salad for dinner.
Logan has faced criticism at other community gardens for her methods and she's been chastised by city officials for growing medicinal plants considered illegal. Lamb's quarter, for example, is on the noxious weed list in Manitoba because it can be poisonous to livestock.
"It's total therapy," says Logan. "Some people meditate and like the sound of the singing bowl, me, I like the crunch and the munch of the leaves." (Mike Deal / Winnipeg Free Press)
"Many of our plants have been put on the noxious weed list as well as the invasive species list, not necessarily because they're invasive or foreign," she says. "The Europeans when they came over didn't understand a lot about the plants."
The garden plot is about to receive a significant makeover.
The West Broadway Community Organization (WBCO) has started a crowdfunding campaign to make the garden a permanent fixture on the lawn of 545 Broadway, the site of the former Klinic building. The WBCO purchased the land from Klinic and plans to build affordable housing on the lot, but first needs to move the garden to the east side of the yard.
"We would have never wanted to displace the garden," says director Greg Macpherson. "The amount of energy and knowledge that's been put into that space already is something that we wouldn't want to disrupt."
It's a big undertaking and Logan has been involved in every step of the design and planning.
"I wanted something flowy that people could walk through," she says. "A little place to meet."
The new space will include a meeting area and paved pathways to allow for wheelchair access. The Gofundme campaign aims to raise $50,000 on top of funding the WBCO has already secured.
"We feel extraordinarily lucky to have Audrey working on that land," Macpherson says. "I think having a community meeting space and permaculture garden on the front lawn of one of the most marquee buildings in the inner city is just a testament to our community's commitment to biodiversity and the environment and celebration of Indigenous culture."

Q: Unable to setRawMode in a nodejs script Initially I tried to set raw mode using tty.setRawMode(true) the log told me that was deprecated and I should be using process.stdin.setRawMode(true) but that command is giving me TypeError: Object #<Socket> has no method 'setRawMode' I cant seem to find much else in the way of raw mode documentation that suggests any other apporoaches anyone know how to get this working?
I am using version 0.10.25

A: It works wonderfully via node server.js but nodemon server.js gives me TypeError: process.stdin.setRawMode is not a function error and the server aborts.
Since nodemon is also waiting for keys to be pressed (i.e. "rs" to restart server), we're running into a conflict because nodemon has commandeered process.stdin.
To workaround the issue, I added a config.ini directive named nodemonMode=yes|no.  If it is set to yes, then I skip the offending section of code with the process.stdin.setRawMode(true) code in it.  I bet there's is even a simpler way to determine if you're running nodemon.

A: So it turns out nodemon uses child_process, because of this writing process.stdin.setRawMode(true); in a script that you then run with nodemon will result in TypeError: Object #<Socket> has no method 'setRawMode'.

Papua wants more Papuans involved in business, issues new procurement rules
Victor Mambor
Jayapura, Papua / Thu, August 1, 2019 / 04:17 pm
This picture from the Presidential Palace shows President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo (2nd right) riding a motorbike in Wamena, Papua, on May 10, as he embarks with his delegation to get a first-hand look at the proposed trans-Papua highway. (AFP/Indonesian Presidential Palace)
Papua Governor Lukas Enembe has issued a regulation to help boost the involvement of Papuan businesspeople in procurement projects and speed up development in Indonesia's easternmost province.
The 2019 gubernatorial regulation on procurement is effective since Thursday. It serves to implement a 2019 presidential regulation on procurement in the provinces of Papua and West Papua.
"We expect more native Papuan businesspeople to be involved in the procurement of goods and services in the province with the issuance of the regulation," Enembe said in Papua's capital city of Jayapura on Tuesday.
He explained that the presidential regulation had three aspects to facilitate the involvement of Papuan businesspeople. The first is the direct procurement of goods and services worth up to Rp 1 billion (US$70,855) or consultation services worth up to Rp 200 million.
The second is a limited tender for native Papuan businesspeople only, and the third is a partnership and subcontract for native Papuan businesspeople.
Enembe expressed hope that the regulation would spur interest of local businessmen to take part in the province's projects.
This was especially important, he added, because provincial administration tenders for the procurement of goods and services had only reached Rp 2 trillion so far this year, while the province had budgeted Rp 14 trillion of for the procurement of goods and services in 2019.
There was also suspicion that the heads of working units in the administration split procurement projects into smaller projects worth no more than Rp 200 million each, thus enabling them to procure goods or services by direct appointment or self-management rather than through a tender, he added.
Enembe said he was irked because such practices had been conducted for years by rogue officials in the working units.
"Papua's administration is collaborating with the Corruption Eradication Commission [KPK] in building an electronic government system to deal with such things," Enembe said.
In response to the gubernatorial regulation, the Papuan Businessman Customary Chamber (KAPP) submitted to the provincial administration the profiles of 65 companies belonging to native Papuan businesspeople.
"We hope all working units will give native Papuan businesspeople wide opportunities," KAPP chairman Musa Haluk said, adding that the 65 companies were spread out across the province and were active in their businesses.

Q: Expressions vs Lambdas I know what a Lambda Expression is.
But I am not sure if that is the same thing as an Expression.  There seems to be more to know here than I know.
I am looking at wrapping IQueryable and that uses Expressions a lot.  So, for example, is there more to the 'Expression' parameter here than can be thought of in a Lambda?
public InterceptedQuery(InterceptingProvider provider, Expression expression)
{
    this._provider = provider;
    this._expression = expression;
}

A: A lambda expression is a compiler feature that is compiled, depending on context, into one of two things:

*

*A (hidden) function and a delegate to it

*An Expression
Once the application has been compiled, the concept of a lambda expression doesn't exist, as it's been turned into one of the above two options.
I'm not sure what you mean by

is there more to the 'Expression' parameter here than can be thought of in a Lambda

An expression encapsulates and expressed application logic in an inspectable form (in other words, it lets you see what the developer wrote in terms of properties and functions invoked, constants included, comparisons, etc.). This is how query providers (for the most part, object-relational mappers like the Entity Framework) take code and turn it into SQL.

A: Lambdas are generally compiled code, where Expression represents "abstract syntax trees" (AST), ie. a data structure that represents code, and can be compiled to code. IQueryable generally operates on Expression because it's supposed to compile the AST to code that runs in different environments, like an SQL server, instead of just the host machine. There are IQueryableProviders that compile to SQL (Linq2Sql), to JavaScript, to OpenGL shaders (Bling), and more.
The C# compiler can sometimes turn a lambda into an expression, if the method parameter expects an expression of the right type:
void Foo(Expression<Func<int>>) { ... }
...
Foo(() => 3);

Melbourne Metro Rail Authority to manage delivery of $518m Ballarat Line Upgrade
Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan has announced that the roll-out of the $518 million Ballarat Line Upgrade is going to be managed by a dedicated project team from the Melbourne Metro Rail Authority (MMRA).
"Melbourne Metro Rail Authority is delivering the biggest public transport project in Melbourne, and it will now deliver the biggest project in regional Victoria as well," Ms Allan said.
Construction works tender for the Ballarat Line Upgrade is expected to be announced by the end of the year, with project completion set for 2026.
MMRA – who is also overseeing the delivery of Australia's largest public transport project, the Metro Rail – is one of Australia's most experienced rail experts and this makes them the perfect team to deliver the half-a-billion dollar upgrade.
"MMRA has the experience and expertise to deliver these projects and more frequent, reliable trains to Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and Ballarat," said Member for Buninyong Geoff Howard.
Upgrade works will include duplicating a 17-kilometre section of single track between Deer Park and Melton, allowing more frequent and reliable rail services to Melbourne's outer western suburbs as well as Melton, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and Ballarat.
Works will also include the duplication of a three-kilometre section of single track west of Warrenheip as well as the construction of three additional crossing loops at Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and near Bungaree. Second platforms will also be created at Bacchus Marsh and Ballan stations and the existing Rockbank Station platform will be extended as part of the project.
"This is wonderful news for the Ballarat Line Upgrade, which will deliver more frequent, reliable trains – building on the new carriages and services we've already delivered for Ballarat commuters," said Member for Wendouree Sharon Knight.

To benefit the local community through the promotion of responsible and sustainable geo-tourism, Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark (HKUGGp), in collaboration with the Environmental Association, provided capacity building opportunities for the local community in Tai Po, training villagers to engage them in the long-term development of the geopark and their community. A total of 24 participants completed the training and are now ready to provide local guided tours on the Ma Shi Chau Nature Trail.
Concurrent with the successful completion of the capacity building programme was the official reopening of the Tai Po Geoheritage Centre after its latest enhancements. To mark this major milestone and to celebrate the graduation of the villagers in their capacity building journey, a graduation and centre reopening ceremony was held on 31 October.
Officiating guests at the ceremony included Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment; the Hon Cheung Hok-ming, Chairman of the Tai Po District Council; Ms. Wong Pik-kiu, Vice-chairman of the Tai Po District Council; Mr. Shek Kwong-yin, Village Representative of Sam Mun Tsai New Village; Mr. Chan Kai-sing, Village Representative of Ap Chau Village; Mr. Chan Ka-chun, Founder of Hong Kong Discovery; Mr. Tam King-wah, CEO of the Sai Kung District Community Centre; Dr. Yau Wing-kwong, CEO of the Environment Association; and Mr. Patrick Lai, Assistant Director (Country and Marine Parks) of the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department.
Escorted by the trained villagers and the young managers of the Tai Po Geoheritage Centre, the guests were briefed on the cultural heritage of Sam Mun Tsai New Village and the enhanced exhibits in HKUGGp.

One Iowa House 89 candidate wants to be loud, the other wants to listen
Tony Currin and Elinor Levin face each other in Democratic primary

Elinor Levin, Democrat running for Iowa House District 89 (submitted photo)
Tony Currin, Democrat running for Iowa House District 89
The Democrats running for Iowa House District 89 disagree on the role they should play if elected.
Elinor Levin sees herself as a listener. Tony Currin is tired of listening.
"I say 'nobody puts Baby in the corner,'" Currin said, using a line from the 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing." "I'm going to be loud. If that Legislature has Democrats still in the minority, I'm going to be a damn loud minority. I won't be quiet."
Currin, 52, a labor activist from Iowa City, is running against Levin, 34, a private writing tutor from Iowa City, to represent House District 89, which includes part of Iowa City and University Heights.
Rep. Mary Mascher, a Democrat who has represented the district for 28 years, announced in November she would not run again.
The winner of the Democratic primary June 7 is expected to face Jacob Onken, a Republican, in the November general election.
Onken is not listed as a candidate by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office because when he filed he listed the former district number, but the Johnson County Republicans plan to nominate him at convention, said Karen Fesler, a Johnson County GOP organizer.
Levin is running for office because she thinks the laws crafted by Republicans in power are deterring working-age people from staying in Iowa.
"We have so much more place than people, but the people create so many opportunities to be a part of something," she said of Iowa. "When we don't encourage young people — and by young I mean under 50 — to want to stay here, organizations die, opportunities get lost, people retire and no one takes over. There are going to be fewer and fewer of those beautiful, incredible opportunities people can take advantage of."

Levin wants to see the Iowa Department of Natural Resources get the funding it needs to clean up the state's water and for the state to do more to encourage conservation farming, such as reduced tillage and fertilizer use. Iowa must support solar and wind power, which produce less greenhouse gas than coal and petroleum, she said.
If elected, Levin plans to spend time listening to constituents — not just hers, but those in other districts who don't think their elected officials represent their interests.
"I don't shy away from having conversations that will be uncomfortable for me if I think they will be important," she said.

Currin decided to run for office after recovering from prostate cancer.
"If I'm not going to get busy with the activity of dying then I need to get busy with the activity of living," he said, paraphrasing a quote from another movie, "The Shawshank Redemption."
He's had enough of an Iowa Legislature in which Republicans have such a large majority that they don't have to work with Democrats. The GOP controls the Iowa House, Senate and governor's office.
"The priority I have by winning a seat in such a safe district is having a platform to go to the districts that are swing districts and help get more Democrats elected," he said.
Currin supports local control, whether it's over mask wearing in schools or funding of state universities.

Family: Single, godfather
Both he and Levin oppose a legislative plan to tie higher education funding to in-demand professions. They also do not think the state should fund private school scholarships, also known as vouchers.
"Public funds for public schools," Currin said.
"That's one of the clearest places we can speak to rural voters," Levin added.
Both Currin and Levin believe women should be the ones making reproductive decisions. This matters because the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to overturn part or all of the Roe v. Wade court case that legalized many abortions.

On May 28, I attended the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation's lecture at El Presidio de Santa Barbara entitled "Basque Culture, History, and the Study of Gastronomy." In the talk, Dr. Iker Arranz of UCSB spoke about the philosophy of food – about thinking while we eat. According to him, we are no longer simply eating to consume, to feed ourselves, but to engage in an experience. He raised questions of eating and identity while establishing links between culture and gastronomy in the Basque Country.
What classes have you taught as UC Santa Barbara, and what will you be teaching in the future?
I have been teaching Basque Culture, Basque Language (Levels from 101 to 103), Basque Cinema, Basque-Spanish Fantastic Cinema and Culinary Arts and Identity. I will be mainly teaching the same courses in the future, but we will might try to offer two classes on Culinary Arts and Identity for next year, it will depend on a few factors that we need to study during this summer though.
How did your Culinary Arts class go this last quarter?
The class was awesome! Apart from the Chef I had 3 different scholars contributing to my class. I had Prof. Hertweck from UNR for one week. He gave 2 lectures for my students and another lecture for UCSB scholars and students. The feedback has been really good, and many students have been using these lectures in their papers. I also had Prof. Galfarsoro from Leeds University and Prof. Alvarez from UPV. They both gave lectures via internet to my students and they really enjoyed the experience. We have been using readings from these two lectures and the students had the chance to ask the authors about their ideas and writings, something that they really appreciated in my opinion. And finally, Chef Aingeru Etxebarria was teaching how to cook traditional and more elaborated "pintxos" to the students. The goal was to offer the chance to taste all the theory on culture and identity to my students and also try to change their habits with some healthy and tasty Basque creations.

Study Finds West Nile Virus Can Still Kill Years After Infection
Saranya Palanisamy, Tech Times 16 November 2016, 04:11 pm
The West Nile Virus infection could be deadlier than previously thought, reports a recent study presented at the 2016 American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene meeting.
The mosquito-borne disease is found to cause fatalities even years after initial exposure to the virus. Kristy O. Murray, the lead author of the study from the Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital said that, amid Zika virus threats prevailing in the United States, it was found that WNV is potentially fatal in people affected with the virus years after infection.
West Nile Virus Infection In United States
WNV infection that first appeared in the United States in 1999 infected around 45,000 people and claimed the lives of about 2,000 people accounting to four percent of fatality rate in the country. The WNV also belongs to the family of viruses that cause yellow fever and Zika. People infected with WNV do not experience any symptoms much similar to Zika infection.
However, in rare cases some people experience symptoms like fatigue, rash, fever and nausea. The complications of WNV infection include swelling of brain and spinal cord. Though WNV is known to be potentially fatal, no vaccine to prevent or treatment to contain the infection is found by far.
Study On West Nile Virus Infection
For the purpose of the study, Murray and her team studied 4,144 WNV cases reported in Texas between 2002 and 2012. The researchers reviewed acute fatalities that occurred in first 90 days of infection as well as deaths that were reported months and years after infection.
About 286 people were reported to have died of acute WNV infection and around 268 patients were found to have survived the disease. However, on deliberate analysis, it was found that all the patients that survived initial infection have died subsequently in upcoming months.
Outcomes Of West Nile Virus Infection
The overall deaths from WNV infection from both acute and delayed mortalities between 2002 and 2012 were found to be 554, which accounts to 13 percent of fatality rate in the country. The figure is much higher than four percent fatality rate between 1999 and 2015 reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In addition Murray found in a study in 2012 that among 139 patients infected with WNV about 40 percent of them developed kidney diseases. It is therefore clear that the WNV infection leads to chronic kidney diseases not only in elderly but also in patients under 60 years of age.
"We had been surprised in the 2012 study to see so much chronic kidney disease develop in younger West Nile patients because it's not that common in people under 60," Murray said.

CP gets input on zoning changes
by Art Stein
As the most populated town in Saratoga County, when many think of Clifton Park, images of strip malls and congested highways come to mind. However, in this town of 47 square miles, there still remain the vestiges of a deep and rich history. The Clifton Park Historic Preservation Commission held a public hearing on June 12 to give the public an opportunity to comment on proposed changes to Article XIII of Local Law No. 10 of the Town Zoning Code.
This was the second public hearing on the proposed amendments. The first public hearing was held on April 18.
The historic preservation commission is an advisory board and has no powers on its own, but makes recommendations that can be acted upon by the town planning board and town board. The commission was formed in 1992, and the town preservation code was adopted in 1996. At the time, 24 houses in the town were selected to be on the Historic Register.
The town of Clifton Park's historian John Scherer provided an overview of the proposed amendments.
Under the existing code, houses were designated on the Register subject to approval of any changes to building exteriors, Scherer said. `But through a miscommunication between the preservation commission and the town board, the town board made it a voluntary choice to be placed on the Historic Register. Predictably, few wanted to remain on the Register, because they would be subject to exterior restrictions. As a result, the Register was made an honorary designation, in order to acknowledge the importance of historic structures in the town. Today, there are now no restrictions on being designated part of the historic register. However, the town code still reflects the original exterior restrictions on houses designated on the Register.`
To remedy this inconsistency, the proposed amendments are designed to reflect what has been in effect for the last 10 years, that there are no restrictions on houses designated on the Historic Register. The commission had also adopted farm conservation tax easements and applied them to historic preservation. The result was that while the desig-nations were honorary, in order to apply and receive the ease-ments, the homeowner had to comply with the code regarding exterior restrictions.
By applying for the tax easement, homeowners can save up to half on the assessed value of their houses.
`Again, this is voluntary,` Scherer stressed.
The proposed legislation also allows for the creation of historic districts of which there are currently none in Clifton Park.
During the public comment period, Liz Thackeray of 280 Sugar Hill Road, read a prepared statement.
`My concern is that the changes proposed seem to be reducing some of my rights that I have accorded under federal and state law,` she said. `Under Article 13, it states that if my house is considered for historic status, that I will be notified and will have an opportunity to answer that. And while I understand that this is not subject to state and federal oversight, when the law affects my rights as a property owner, because of changes in the local law, then I have a concern.`
Paul Kitchen of 277 Sugar Hill Road noted that some of the wording under the new law is contradictory, and needs clarifi-cation to avoid future problems. While Kitchen said he was not opposed to historic preservation and was grateful to the board for hearing his concerns, he pointed out some inconsistencies in the language as it is stated.
Regarding the proposed establishment of historic districts, Kitchen said, `The guts of the language regarding the criteria in determining an historic district has been taken out at the same time that the amended language calls for the establishment of historic districts.`
Kitchen requested that the language be reinstated. Scherer noted that the language dropped out of the previous draft and concurred that it needed to be put back in. Kitchen also said that the use of the certificate of compatibility was no longer appropriate under the amended law. Scherer noted that it needed to stay in to accommodate the tax easement process. Kitchen responded that the easement provision is covered under the certificate of appropriateness, which is remaining in the law. Scherer concurred. Finally, Kitchen pointed out that the National Historic Preservation Act allows people to be excluded from a National Historic District, and questioned why the town's proposed legislation doesn't allow for this.
In related news, the National Historic Preservation Commision bestowed two awards at the meeting. Each year during National Historic Preservation month, the Commission selects two properties that best represent the stewardship and preservation of the history of the Town of Clifton Park. The Connors family received an award for their efforts in maintaining the compatibility of the Greek revival architecture style, prominent in the hamlet of Vischer Ferry.
`It is a perfect example of how modern construction can be combined with the existing community designs,` said Kazmierczak. The second award went to the town of Clifton Park for its continued support of historic preservation as evidenced by the work on the Grooms Tavern and purchase of the `Grange."

Everyone is Welcome Here
Aripeka Cemetery
In the News ...
Photos in the News ...
In the old days, cemeteries were usually located on the nearest hilltop on the edge of any town. In the case of Aripeka lying as it does in the low coastal plain bordering the Gulf of Mexico, there are no hills to be found. The cemetery is about four miles east of Aripeka, on Hunter's Lake Road (about a half mile east of U.S. 19). The Cemetery overlooks Hunter's Lake, and has a peaceful solitude and pretty view. In the official records of Hernando County, dated the 23rd day of August, 1912, there is a deed conveying from Richart A. Ellis and Leonore B. Ellis, his wife, of Hillsborough County, Florida, to J. B. Lee and E. G. Willingham, as Trustees of the Aripeka Baptist Church, and their successors in office, a certain five-acre tract of land to be used as a cemetery. Also there is a quick-claim deed bearing the date of October 18th, 1935, in the official records of Hernando County, Florida conveying from John M. Weeks and Olive Weeks, his wife, the same five-acre tract of land to be used as a cemetery for the residents of Aripeka, Florida, to J.B. Kolb and H. M. Fitzgerald, Trustees of the Aripeka Baptist Church and their successors in office.
The first burial was in 1906. Pioneer families represented are Bondurant, Kolb, Newton, Norfleet, White and Wood. Rumor has it that a young girl died of drowning, and her family had no place to bury her. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis donated the Hunter's Lake hillside land so that the residents of Aripeka would always have a place to bury their dead. The deed for the Aripeka Cemetery calls for free burial plots to the residents of Aripeka regardless of religious affiliations or belief. In order to improve, maintain, and provide for future care, it is necessary to appeal to the residents of Aripeka for donations and bequests.
It is the aim of the Board to establish a modern cemetery that will be maintained in a manner in which our community can be most proud, and in which, no grave will go unmarked or unattended. The Board of Control shall be composed of three Trustees of the said Church, and the Trustees shall appoint two additional members to be chosen from the Community of Aripeka and who are not required to be members of said Church. The members of the Board of Control receive no pay for their time or for their expenses.

Discussion in 'Motorhome Chat' started by Sheddy, Aug 28, 2014.
I am currently investigating the process to import a used van from Germany.
In the eyes of HMRC, what constitutes proof of VAT being paid by the previous owner in the country of origin, or do I actually need the proof as the vehicle is nearly 3 years old and has 10,000 miles on it.
The Van had one previous owner and was registered as new in France with French plates, if I import it, it will be from a German dealer with German trade plates for the transfer.
Just want to make sure I have all the correct paperwork from the dealer before parting with my hard earned cash.
We paid the vat in germany and made sure that it was shown seperately on the invoice. We then filled out the customs form in the uk ( in the post office import pack ) and sent this with the invoice to the dvla. A few weeks later the tax disc and log book arrived. I dont think the dvla will register it until they get te green light from the customs people. Just make sure the vat is shown seperately on the bill and you should be alright.
Have to say I have never seen a German motorhome doing less than 90MPH on the autobahns, I made a mental note, never buy a motorhome from Germany!!!!!
Sometimes the dvla would want to inspect the vehicle before it can be registered in the uk.
I had this issue when i bought a scooter from Italy,in January this year.
Er.....90+ MPH in a motorhome, what kind of strain is that putting on the engine & gearbox etc ???
Here is what HMRC say should happen!

08.18 14 Nov 2019
A mother and son are being questioned in connection with the abduction and torture of Quinn Industrial Holdings executive Kevin Lunney.
They were arrested along with another man earlier this morning. They are being questioned at separate Garda stations.
A Garda spokesperson said the the woman, aged in her 50s, is being held under the Offences Against The State Act.
The two men - one in his 20s and another in his 40s - are being held under the Criminal Justice Act.
Mr Lunney was kidnapped and brutally assaulted by a group of masked men in September.
The attack was the most serious act in a campaign of intimidation against executives at the company that has been ongoing for years.
Last week, gardaí and the PSNI launched a cross-border taskforce to investigate the attack and the wider campaign – which included a number of death threats.
The task-force was announced following a series of raids on both sides of the border and in England.
Gardaí searched 12 locations south of the border while the PSNI searched five locations in the North.
Meanwhile, British police were searching the home in Derbyshire.
Police said one of the main suspects in the investigation, Irishman Cyril McGuiness, died during the raid in Derbyshire.
The 58-year-old was taken ill after police carried out a search warrant at an address in Buxton where he was staying.
This morning, Gardaí appealed to anyone with any information "no matter how insignificant it appears, on this vicious criminal attack" to contact them.
They are also looking for information any other criminal activities which have taken place in the Cavan/Fermanagh border area over recent years.
