What's more southern than a family tradition? Nothing. That's what. And in keeping with tradition, Blackberry Smoke took over The Tabernacle on Black Friday for their annual Brothers and Sisters Holiday Homecoming. Charlie Starr and the boys took in their friends and family on a cold Friday night and warmed us up with more jams than a breakfast buffet. It seemed like half of the nearly sold-out venue was sporting stickers that read "VIP - Friends and Family," which served as a visual for how deeply connected Blackberry Smoke is with their hometown crowd.
Beyond the family atmosphere, the ambiance of a packed-out Tabby captivates my imagination as I imagine what those who used to worship here would think about the spectacle. The trappings of the church still remain -- beautiful, stained-glass windows, glimmering chandeliers and a crowd of devotees packed in at the altar -- but they are juxtaposed with the opulence and gluttony of a live music environment. To pay homage to the Tabernacle's religious history, Starr and Blackberry Smoke preached a sermon on how to play the damn guitar, and the congregation showed their satisfaction at every opportunity.
From the first song of their epic, 25-song setlist to the final chords of closing song "Aint Much Left of Me," the crowd was dancing in the aisles, in their seats and in the hallways. From clever covers like the Beatles' "Come Together" or Joe Cocker's "Space Captain" to personal favorites "Good One Comin' On" and "Pretty Little Lie," there wasn't a single guitar lick, bass line or drum fill that I wasn't impressed by, and I'd wager to say everyone around me felt the same way. There wasn't a second the crowd wasn't moving, and the band fed off that energy to deliver an extraordinary performance.
Blackberry Smoke's Holiday Homecoming has grown over the years as Blackberry Smoke has, and many of the fans that attend have been going for years now. In talking with Bullet Music alum Christian Brooks, he said "I never miss the Holiday Homecoming," and there are plenty of others who share that tradition. I saw everything from large families spending time with one another to individuals and small groups combining to form new families, if only for the evening. While I've been to about a million concerts solo, and never felt particularly awkward, this was maybe the first time I walked into a venue of this size and felt invited and at home. I'll be back next year, for sure.

SALT LAKE CITY- This Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer months, more families will be opting not to take big vacations in order to save money in this tough economy. But that doesnt mean they have to skip all the family fun.
AAA reports the number of Utahns traveling this Memorial Day weekend will be down from last year.
Leigh von der Esch of the Utah Office of Tourism said, I think people, because of their overall economic situation, are staying closer to home.
That may hold true for the summer as well. But families still want to have some kind of vacation.
Joel Riecker of the Utah Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau said, Theyre looking for, How can we still get out and do recreation? How can we go out and do something How can we go out and do something new with the family?
These mini-vacations are called staycations, and travel experts say Utahns have a lot to take advantage of.
A lot of them dont cost anything; the canyons, the river, a drive on a scenic loop, Riecker said.
Von der Esch said, If youve never been fly fishing in Flaming Gorge, this is the summer to do that. Or if your children have never seen our national parks, get out there and see them.
Riecker said, Timpanogos Cave, up American Fork Canyon, is wonderful. Its a national monument.
They can get packages for really affordable lodging and then the activities are almost free, Riecker said.
If your budgets really tight, you can even make a staycation in your own backyard by setting up a tent and camping out.
Family consumer writer Jen Singer said, The key is to treat it like a real vacation. Leave all of your electronics inside, stop checking your e-mail.
We play games like ghost in the graveyard, or we tell a story around the fire where we each tell a sentence until we have that scarry ghost story. she added.
Wherever your staycation, experts say rediscovering your neighborhood, city or state can be just as memorable as heading thousands of miles away.
Informational brochures are available at the travel council hall by the Utah State Capitol. They have details about different recereation opportunities in Utah.

Heather Barker, Reporter|March 30, 2017
At 10:58 p.m. March 17, Marshall University Police officers were called to Freshman South Residence Hall reguarding two possible cases of underage drinking. When officers arrived, two 18-year-old males were found sitting in the lobby with a smell of alcohol coming from their persons. Officers issued each subject an arrest citation for underage drinking.
Destruction of Plants
March 20, a complainant reported five plants had been destroyed on the south side of the football stadium. Estimated damage is valued between $250-$300 if the plants are unable to be salvaged. After reviewing video surveillance, officers found there were five subjects on bikes who uprooted the plants between 6:25 to 7:58 p.m. March 19. Officers tried to obtain video footage from nearby businesses, but the suspects remain unidentified.
Possession of Heroin
At 12:38 p.m. March 23, MUPD received a 911 call from a male stating a 35-year-old female had overdosed on the west side of the football stadium parking lot. EMS and fire were on scene providing medical treatment to the female. EMS administered Narcan to the female's nasal cavities and she was revived. She was then transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital. A metal spoon with a small amount of a substance with the consistency of heroin was found on the passenger side of the vehicle. The suspect admitted to injecting heroin into both her right and left hands. She was issued arrest citations for possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication.
March 26, plants were again reported as being destroyed in the same area as the ones that were uprooted March 20. Three plants were pulled from the ground on the south side of the football stadium. There were no leads on the cameras and there are no suspects at this time.
After attending a Marshall basketball game March 26, a victim and his family reported two iPhones were stolen from the glove compartment in their car. The car was parked in the football stadium parking lot and was unlocked at the time of theft. Video surveillance is being reviewed at this time.

People are generally frightened at the idea of "Clash of Civilizations", growing phobia towards others, accompanied by prejudice and lack of understanding of other's faith and cultural values. At the same time, hi-tech communication technologies have helped the hate-mongers to spread chaos, enmity and hatred through disinformation, misinformation and false propagandas. Today, even a small occurrence in any part of the world affects the entire globe. However, we are not immune to events which are happening in other continents. In this respect, peace-building initiatives, interfaith dialogue, culture education and awareness programs are imperative in the contemporary society. Many nations have realized that "multiculturalism" is a sterling value, which citizens should imbibe in their daily life. The nations should launch extensive programs to spread these universal values.
It is a human nature to get frightened at the idea of a strange thing. When anybody hears a strange noise while walking in a dark street, his first reaction is one of fear. But after finding that the noise was caused by an innocent small kitten, his reaction converts into love, care and sympathy. It is so imperative to study and promote intercultural values, interfaith dialogue and peace-building initiatives to lay the foundation for peaceful coexistence, harmony and brotherhood.

Dancing is back on the cards in Auckland nightclubs for New Year's Eve.
Nightclubs in the orange traffic light setting can re-open to capacity for vaccinated customers and there's no longer seated service requirements.
From today, everywhere is now in orange, except Northland, which remains in Red.
Sapphire Nightclub owner Aryan Soin told Tim Dower they're looking forward to tonight.
"I reckon it's going to be one of the craziest New Year's Eve Auckland has ever had, with there being no Rhythm and Vines, no Northern Bass, no Hidden Valley, no festivals that you can go to."

Feelin' Moody: Can Syracuse Land Bookend DEs in Justin Moody & Ogundeko?
With the current Orange enjoying its bye week, The Fizz fires up Syracuse's recruiting engine. The latest addition to the list of 2013 prospects is defensive end Justin Moody. The Philly native favors SU and Pittsburgh as his top schools. Rutgers, USF, Temple, Purdue, Buffalo and Old Dominion round out Moody's offer list.
The 6'3" 240 lbs. beast had a tremendous junior season that has carried over into his senior stint. Moody had 20 tackles for a loss, 12 sacks and five forced fumbles last year and currently anchors the defense for 4-0 George Washington High School. Head coach Ron Cohen has seen the development of Moody, and gave The Fizz a thumbnail of Moody in the college game:
"He's an aggressive young man that plays both sides of the ball. For the next level, I'm pretty sure hopefully defensive tackle or defensive end. He has good speed and quickness off the ball."
Speed definitely fits the profile for a Syracuse defensive player. The Orange has struggled so far preventing the big play this season. Finding big guys on the line that have speed is a huge plus. SU has certainly explored those types like commit Wayne Williams and highly sought Ebenezer Ogundeko. The Marrone Era continues to be centered around accumulating fast, playmaking talent.
The Orange must pounce on Moody's services quickly. Syracuse can't only play the ACC card since Pitt also has a chance to land Moody. Geography actually favors SU in this battle. Quick pop quiz: Which campus is closer to Philadelphia? The correct answer is Syracuse (by about 50 miles), even though Pittsburgh is in Moody's home state.
He can play in the MetLife College Classic for two years as well compete in the Carrier Dome. It would also help if SU could pull out a win next Friday night when it hosts the Panthers, and perhaps crawl up the BE power rankings. Coach Cohen says Justin should be making a visit soon as well as to other Big East competitors:
"He's going to take a trip up to Syracuse, Central Florida, Purdue, Pittsburgh, probably Temple. Right now that's what we are trying to figure out. We are in the meat of our season so it's tough."
Ironically enough, the three-star Moody ranks 17th in the top players from Pennsylvania, with SU QB commit Austin Wilson right behind him at #18. Wilson is killing it right now at East Pennsboro posting big numbers. Moody also plays basketball at George Washington. Perhaps he's giving Coach Boeheim a call or hitting up Dion Waiters to ball up at the local courts before training camp with the Cavs.
But Moody is all business during football season. He has been a mainstay for his high school team. Cohen says he gets respect from the locker room on and off the field.
"He's done a very good job. The kids listen to him. He's been on varsity for four years, a four year starter. They respect his ability and his leadership."
George Washington currently leads the pack in its division with an undefeated record. The Fizz asked Cohen if Moody has an "it" factor that separates him from other players. Come the end of each week, Cohen says Justin is off to the races:
"He has a motor that he turns on game day. He works hard in practice. But on game day he hits the other switch. He plays very aggressive and doesn't come off the field too often."
Imagine an incoming set of bookend DEs in Moody and Ogundeko? Syracuse has had its eyes on Moody since last year, and now is the time to try and seal the deal.

Very Few Entrepreneurs Know About State's Much-Hyped Single Window System: NITI Aayog Survey Report
By IW News Service | Aug 28, 2017 | Judiciary |
New Delh: The much hyped Single Window Clearance System(SWCS) for approval to start business by the state governments in the country, in fact, is not know to may of the industrialists in the country. That is what a NITI Ayog survey report says.
"The survey data show low awareness among enterprises about single window systems, instituted by states", points out the country's apex policy making body's survey report, which was launched on Monday.
The report says that on an average only about 20% of start-ups, which are of recent origin, report using single window facilities introduced by state governments for setting up a business. "Even among experts", the report adds, " only 41% have any knowledge of the existence of these facilities.
Describing it as Informational Gaps, the report suggests that the states need to enhance awareness of the steps being undertaken by them to the improve ease of doing business.
The NITI Aayog's Ease of Doing Business report based on an enterprise survey of 3500 manufacturing firms across Indian states and union territries was released by the union minister of commerce, Nirmala Sitaraman, and minister of law & justice and electronics and IT, Ravishankar Prasad, released the survey report at a function, here on Monday. The survey has been conducted, along with the IDFC Institute, to assess the business regulations and enabling environment across India from firms' perspective. The vice chairman of NITI Aayog, Arvind Panagariya, his successor Rajiv Kumar who is to assume office on 1st September, CEO NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant and the secretary, department of industrial policy promotion(IPP), Ramesh Abhishek, were present on this occasion.
The survey comes in the backdrop of the fact that India needs to create an environment that fosters globally competitive firms, capable of driving and sustaining economic growth.
Pointing out that a high level of economic activity and better performance on a range of doing business indicators are strongly correlated, the report says enterprises in high-growth states are significantly less likely to report major or very severe obstacles in (i) land/ construction related approvals, (ii) environmental approvals and (iii) water and sanitation availability relative to enterprises in low-growth states. Quite remarkably, firms located in high-growth states also report 25% less power shortages in a typical month, compared to firms in low-growth states, it adds.
Stating that there is an improvements in getting clearances to start business, the report said newer and younger firms, including startups established after 2014, report a more favorable business environment in that they take less time in obtaining approvals than older firms, suggesting an improvement in the business environment. Moreover, young firms report that most regulatory processes do not constitute a major obstacle to their doing business.
On labour regulations, the report says it is a bigger constraint for labour intensive firms.
"We find that labor intensive sectors, that create proportionately more jobs per unit of capital investment, feel more constrained by labor related regulations.
For example, compared to other enterprises, the enterprises in labor intensive sectors: 19% more likely to report that finding skilled workers is a major or very severe obstacle; 33% more likely to report that hiring contract labor is a major or very severe obstacle; lose a greater number of days due to strikes and lockouts; and report higher average time for environmental approvals and longer power shortages.
About barriers to firm growth, the reports says that large firms with more than 100 employees face more regulatory hurdles than smaller firms with less than 10 employees.

It is with great difficulty that we survey the melancholy state of affairs in this new millennium. Despite our unprecedented abundance, and even cultural excess, we still have those who suffer needlessly in their day-to-day lives. Disease and political violence have become central issues in the halls of our great governmental organizations, but hunger continues to be one of the most unheralded challenges to the progress of human civilization.
While this problem is particularly acute in the Third World, it is also a great shame here at home. Our rural poor compete against those in inner city ghettoes for the ignominious title of most underprivileged. With all the technology and ingenuity at our disposal, the United States has utterly failed to come up with an answer to this incredible dilemma.
Many blame overpopulation for this crisis but we should acknowledge that the corruption of dictatorships in places like Africa is another contributing factor. Christian aid charities have worked relentlessly to feed the needy but they are simply overwhelmed. In other cases, the systems of distribution have failed. This is due to the expense of transportation, the mechanical requirements of refrigeration, the seasonal limitations of crop growth and so on.
In colonial America, lobster was considered a disagreeable foodstuff. Only slaves enjoyed this crustacean. Now it is one of the most expensive items on any menu. Squirrels and possum have been popular elements in Southern cuisine for some time while in Northern cities they are considered abominable. In many parts of the word and in many periods throughout history, human beings have eaten animals and insects that most would never contemplate. Bats, camels, guinea pigs, bears, whales, locusts, grasshoppers and evenhorse are delicacies to countless peoples.
Could cat meat possibly be the answer to the world's malnourishment? There are many strong arguments in its favor. The animals themselves thrive inevery environment in every nation, no matter how hot or cold, how dry or wet. They reproduce quickly and easily. There is an overpopulation of these creatures and veterinary scientists have woefully stumbled in their efforts to keep numbers in check. They are easily domesticated and docile. One needs little space to maintain a herd of cats.
Cats have what is called an estrous reproduction cycle, which means they can produce several litters over the course of their 6-month breeding season. One entire estrous cycle or "heat" lasts roughly from 18 to 24 days. Pregnancy normally lasts 66 days and produces between 3 and 10 offspring. These kittens reach sexual maturity within a year. Cats grow to about 8 to 15 pounds in full adulthood. They have a 10% bone to meat ratio. Discounting the 1 to 1½ pounds of head and tail, they average about between 6 and 12 pounds of consumable meat per animal. In essence, a single cat can produce about 130 pounds of consumable meat per year.
The meat itself is light and similar in taste to rabbit. In fact, cat meat was often substituted for rabbit in medieval Europe. Others compare it to lamb for itstender, subtle flavor. It has a fine texture and high digestibility. The firmness of the meat makes it especially adaptable to all types of ethnic cuisines. It can be plain or heavily garnished. It can be used in stews and soups, as stock or eaten as a meat staple. As for its dietary properties, this food is high in protein, but low in calories, cholesterol and saturated fats. Health-wise, it is good for heart disease patients, newborns and the elderly.
On a federal level, consuming cat meat is not illegal (although some states have taken measures to restrict it). Popular cuts include quarters, drumsticks, ribs, sausages and salami. It can also be prepared as a whole spit roast. One successful purveyor in the United States offers such specialties as whole fish fed cat, meat fed cat and chicken fed cat. Clearly there is an interest in this foodstuff and its health benefits are accepted by accredited nutritionists.
The obvious advantage of feline meat is that it can be cultivated in any environment close to those who consume it. One need not have it driven or flown over long distances. The corrupt practices of businesses and governments are thus avoided. As mentioned previously, it is inexpensive even for those in dire poverty. Cats themselves eat what humans do not– from small bony birds to snakes, mice and insects. They also thrive on refuse, such as fish bones and the like. This contributes to the recycling of what would otherwise be viewed as waste. From mountain regions to arid plains, from traditional societies to crowded inner cities, cat meat is a plentiful food source that crosses all borders.
I realize this proposal may strike some as odd and I welcome any mature alternatives that others can suggest. Countless theoreticians have wearied over human malnourishment for years, offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, but who has actually devised a constructive solution? The stigma of cat meat consumption is something the world will simply need to overcome as global food shortages reach a critical level. There is hope, however, that as a culture we can break down these barriers. In many ways, this is also a humane resolution for the felines themselves, since they are considered pestilence and vermin by many and treated as such. As a nation of people who have always striven to overcome adversity, we can lead the way in solving the hunger problem. Cat meat may very well be the great answer we have been searching for.

Comic Creator Pini Segna
Pini Segna
(22 October 1925 - 13 September 2012, Italy)
Born in Florence, Pini Segna graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1944. He settled in the Langhe area during the second World War and has lived there for the rest of his life. In 1946, he debuted with the Vincenzo Baggioli scripted 'Agente K6', followed by 'Il Giustiziere Mascherato', for the publishing house Nuova Aurora. In the following year, for Editoriale Sportiva, he made 'Penna Azzurra'. Starting in 1948, he worked as an illustrator of 'Saetta' and 'Volpe' stories for Alpe, and as a collaborator of Arc publications like 'Pantera Bionda', 'Tom Mix' and 'Tom Bill'.
In 1949, he began to work for the Albi dell'Intrepido collection. In the early 1950s, he drew series like 'Dix', 'Tornado Bill', 'Carabina Jones' and 'Gim Falco' for Marino Tomasina Editore, and in the late 1950s, he did art for 'Dick Montana', 'Gill Bart', 'Glory Men', 'Giungla Kid' and 'Dakota'. Between 1965 and 1977, he was mainly active as an illustrator of 'Mandrake', 'L'Uomo Mascherato' and 'Kriminal stories for Editoriale Corno, as well as 'Akim' for Editions Aventures et Voyages.
Between 1977 and 1982, he illustrated various stories with 'Zagor' for Daim Press. From 1990 to 2007 he was a collaborator of the local monthly Dogliani e le sue Langhe. He was in a car accident in the spring of 2007 and was hospitalized. A few weeks later he suffered a stroke and has since lived in a nursing home in Salmour. He passed away in September 2012.

The interest in dreams is by no means new. There are documentations of dreams reaching back thousands of years. In ancient Greece, they had dream temples dedicated to dream healing and receiving sacred messages from the gods. Native Americans placed high values on their dreams as well. Some Iroquois tribes even believed a person could get very sick if dreams were ignored. As we will see in the chapter about nightmares, they were right about the importance of dreams. If we ignore our dreams, emotional blockages are built up and we do indeed risk becoming very sick. Many world religions also honor dreams. In the Bible, there are over a hundred references to dreams, and many Tibetan Buddhists practice dream yoga, a beautiful way of enhancing higher states of awareness even when dreaming.
Australian aborigines believe in the concept of "Dreamtime," the space where everything is created and dreamed. According to this tradition, we dream ourselves into this world, and then back into Dreamtime! The Australian aborigines' view on dreams illustrates that there is, in fact, no differentiation between past, present, and future. It is all happening now, in Dreamtime. In the chapters about synchronicity and guidance, we will see that we can miraculously dream about something that is simultaneously happening in another part of the world, or dream of a person we haven't seen in years, only for them to show up on our doorstep the next day! The concepts of time and space may not be as fixed as we believe them to be.
Many scientists and fiction authors have also drawn inspiration from their dreams. For instance, author Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed up the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in one of his dreams, and the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev received help from his dreams when he discovered the right order of the elements according to their atomic weight.


Contract disputes can occur within a corporation or limited partnership. They occur when two or more parties disagree on how the specific goals should occur within the organization or when there are issues related to contracts, the hiring and firing of employees or others issues come up in which there is a disagreement among the various employees or CEOs/CFOs. While it can be handled openly and without litigation, sometimes one or more litigation attorney with specialty areas including employee law and corporate disagreements.
The legal system uses contract law in order to determine how businesses are enforced. A legal contract is enforceable as a result of enforceable promises made buy one party toward another. The legal parties must be entities in the legal sense and can include private limited partnerships, legal corporate entities and limited organizations. In m cases, the contract must be in writing but this is not necessarily so.
Statutes are written starting points and are legally binding and enforceable. Currently, there must be additional legislation passed by lawmakers that the second piece of legislation makes more enforceable. Contract law is clarified and amends the initial legal document. It can create a whole new law that renders the old law or laws outdated and irrelevant.
The Court of Law hears arguments regarding contract law cases and helps identify whether or not an agreement has any degree of enforceable. The outcome of any trial can mean that there is a compromise or that both parties have to agree to the original agreement and follow its original terms.
When it comes to contract disputes or any type of corporate legal advice, you might get with minor problems to use a general practice attorney. In most cases, however, the contract dispute issues are complex and you need to make use of a specialist in contract law or a specialist in contract dispute. This guarantees that you have the best chance of legal success and can more easily win your case. You should contact a litigation corporate specialist as soon as an issue comes up so you can get the clearest possible advice and so that the legal process can begin without delay. Your lawyer will ask you questions about the legal issues involved and you always be honest with your lawyer. Papers are drawn up depending on what's needed and meetings are scheduled with the opposing party. If the situation goes to court, your litigation corporate attorney will prepare a case for you and present it to the judge and/or jury.


- "Prior to 1924 we had not regarded it as a federal government function to make employment. Employment was a matter for the people themselves to work out."
"When the federal government took over and undertook to solve the problem for them, grave disasters followed.
President Roosevelt inherited a huge volume of unemployment. He did not cure it. The figures for 1933 are worse than the figures for 1932. The years 1933 to 1939, inclusive, show unemployment exceeding 10 million for three years, including 1938, and show unemployment exceeding 9 million for five years out of the seven"
"The historical record is damning. The New Deal, viewed as an economic policy designed to promote employment, is condemned by the historical and statistical record."
- "In the first place, these long-established, politically defined units have much less to contribute - and much less freedom to make contributions. The painful irony is that, driven by a concern to boost over-all economic well-being, their efforts to assert traditional forms of economic sovereignty over the people and regions lying within their borders are now having precisely the opposite effect." "Second, and more to the point, the nation state is increasingly a nostalgic fiction. It makes even less sense today, for example, than it did a few years ago to speak of Italy or Russia or China as a single economic unit. Each is a motley combination of territories with vastly different needs and vastly different abilities to contribute.


The "caviar" on my mind these days involves black-eyed peas, not those extravagant little fish eggs. Marinated with chiles, onions, bell pepper, corn and tomatoes, the humble legumes are transformed into the classic Texas caviar.
This chunky salsa is a staple in the Lone Star State–a little bit Southern, a little bit Mexican, and altogether irresistible. Countless variations have made the round of backyard barbecues and tailgate parties since the 1950s, but the original was the creation of Texas culinary star Helen Corbitt, a cookbook author who served as food consultant for Neiman-Marcus in Dallas.
I've been thinking about this dish ever since I made it for good luck last month. Southern folklore says you'll get a dollar in the coming year for every black-eyed pea you eat on New Year's Day. Inflation has sort of reduced the fiscal return on that deal, I'm afraid. I can't eat enough peas to make a difference in my bank balance, but it still makes me feel good to uphold tradition.
Super Bowl is my excuse for sharing it now. I don't care much for football, but I do like the snacks.
This recipe updates the original, with home-cooked peas rather than canned, and adds tomatoes and corn kernels for color, texture, and fresher flavor. I've reduced the oil a little, too. It would be a guilt-free indulgence if I could just pass on the tortilla chips. But we all know that's not likely.
Don't be put off by the idea of cooking the peas from scratch. There's nothing to it. They don't require soaking in advance and cook more quickly than you would imagine–usually about an hour of untended simmering. Or you can throw them in a slow cooker (after soaking) for 3-4 hours on high.
The cooking time will depend on how dry the peas are. When they're tender to the bite, they're done. Just remember not to add salt until the end of the cooking time since it is thought to make beans tough.
Alternatively, just open the cans. I found cans of organic black-eyed peas at Whole Foods that were quite good and not too salty.
Even with canned peas, this salsa would be the star of any casual get-together. Say, a Super Bowl party?
Pick over and rinse peas. Place in a medium saucepan with about 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Remove from heat, cool and drain.
In a large bowl, mix drained peas, corn, onions, garlic, tomatoes, chiles and bell pepper. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper together in a small bowl or shake together in a small jar. Pour dressing over pea mixture and stir to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to come together.
Just before serving, add cilantro and toss well. Serve with tortilla chips as a party dip or on a bed of lettuce as a salad.

Q: Oracle nested multiple subqueries I am looking for a reliable algorithmic way to nest queries in Oracle without having to parse and rebuild SQL statements. In DB2, MYSQL, and SQLITE I can simply nest from the largest columns set in the inner subquery to the smallest column set in the very outer query like this:
  SELECT A, B FROM (
       SELECT A, B, C FROM (
            SELECT A, B, C, D FROM (
                 SELECT * FROM myTable
                 )
            )
      )
 )

This does not work for Oracle, I had to use the WITH clause but that allows me one level of nesting like
 WITH Q1 as (
      SELECT * FROM myTable
            )
            SELECT A, B FROM Q1

is there an algorithmic way to nest select statements in Oracle like DB2 or MySQL above
You can always assume it is a single table. The queries are generated automatically
Found the root cause:
My code assumes an "AS alias" is needed and appends it to the subquery as in "Select A, B from (select A, B, C from myTable) AS Q1"      --- Oracle does not like that and gives an error  "missing right parenthesis"

A: What do you mean by "does not work"?  The structure you seem to want works perfectly well in Oracle
SQL> select ename from (
  2    select ename, empno from (
  3      select ename, empno, job from (
  4        select ename, empno, job, mgr from (
  5          select * from emp
  6        )
  7      )
  8    )
  9  );

The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans falls apart. Of course, there's also the small fact that Rachel is the one who caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it. Not to mention the most powerful demon in the ever-after—the soul-eater Ku'Sox Sha-Ku'ru—has vowed to destroy her, and has kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage.
If Rachel doesn't give herself up, they will die. Forced by circumstance, Rachel teams up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack—a partnership fraught with dangers of the heart as well as betrayal of the soul—to return to the ever-after and rescue those she loves. One world teeters on the brink of interspecies war, the other on the brink of its very demise—and it's up to Rachel to keep them both from being destroyed.
Who knew that the same man who tormented you and made you crawl would end up being a friend. And who knew I was so bloodthirsty. Bad people came back into Rachel's life and was saying out loud, "Kill him!" I liked the book up to the ending which just left me scratching my head.

Parallel programming with partitioned address spaces has several advantages, including, explicit data dependencies, programmer awareness of data-locality, and absence of obscure bugs cause by forgotten synchronization around shared data. However, partitioned address spaces do create their own problems. Our past and ongoing research has shown that it is possible to address productivity-related issues by devising abstractions for specifying communication However, an important shortcoming of programming with partitioned address spaces is that it is difficult to leverage hardware shared memory for such programs, due to program semantics and the limitations of the underlying communication libraries.
MPI is the leading communication library used for partitioned address-space programming. In this project, we will develop techniques that combine MPI-aware compiler analysis and run-time systems to optimize MPI programs for shared memory by achieving zero-copy communication in a large number of cases. We avoid the difficult problem of matching sends and receives in MPI programs by developing a smart run-time system that serves as a drop-in replacement for standard MPI primitives. A source-level compiler, based on LLNL's ROSE framework, will optimize the original MPI program by converting the original calls to MPI primitives and selectively globalizing communication buffers into shared space to enable zero-copy communication. We will extend our analysis and implementation to also work with a declarative language for specifying communication that we have been developing, called Kanor.
The ability to optimize partitioned address-space programs, such as those using MPI, on increasingly common many-cores gives us a powerful motivation for our project. However, to achieve improved scaling, we will also explore optimization challenges for hybrid platforms, consisting of clusters of shared-memory machines.
Automatic optimization of programs written for distributed memory (such as, using MPI) for shared memory remains an open problem. This project will aim to address this important problem, which will be a significant step toward automatic migration of legacy code to next generation machines. By leveraging our work on Kanor this project will also help develop a uniform parallel programming environment that can deliver high performance at multiple scales.
One PhD student and one MS student will gain first-hand experience of working on a shared high-performance resource by working on FutureGrid. Outcome of the research will be published in leading international conferences, which will also provide the Masters student exposure to computer science research. The source-level compiler, based on ROSE, and the run-time system will be made available under an open-source license.
One node at a time, initially. Multiple nodes in the later part of the project.

SURFACE ROULETTE
Today I drove after work to the last stretch of beach before the border and walked barefoot along a deserted shore until the sun caressed the horizon. My roommates (in good Baja custom conditioned to bundle up at even the prospect of 55 degree weather) would slap me for exposing my bare feet to the "frigid" SoCal earth and air, let alone for allowing the winter waves to wash over my ~ work pants ~ up to my calves as I danced the boundary where wave meets shore.
Consciously taking slow steps (Midwest hustle culture translates into all bits of me, including the pace at which I walk), I was passed by a woman (sporting a puffer jacket and hiking boots, as an aside) walking her dog along the water's edge. It's quarantine days, which consequently often means to our reductionist minds that it's the days of pretending passersby are in a world different from our own. But in this particular instance (and I think because I was in my office attire and felt like an asshole wearing a peacoat on the beach) I felt an urge to pause my sad girl music and ask her if I could pet her dog, whose name was GiGi.
GiGi snuggled up against me like a toddler does to their parent upon returning home. The woman thanked me (have people always thanked others for greeting their pets??) and made a comment about how usually she (the dog) doesn't go up to people, saying I must be a real animal person! Idk, I assume this lady could just tell I was being all contemplative and wanted to "Be that person to change someone else's day." Anyway, afterward, the dog was elated, jumping all willy-nilly (what a fun adverb to type) and gaping up at her owner as if she'd just been granted a treat.
THE TREAT WAS MINE, GIGI. They got far enough ahead of me that I shrank securely back in my solitude and a soft wave of tears overcame me. Yeah yeah, I get it -- we both know where this is going. Epiphany and shit: this sap is my pattern & destiny and at least it's not going in an Instagram caption; but post-nearly-a-year into not petting a single stranger's dog and post-three-months-or-more of not having shed a single tear (a red flag but maybe it doesn't need to be), the moment was ~ inspiring.
{CAVEAT}
The intended subject derived from this inspiration was something I have completely forgotten now, because after walking for a while I sat down in the wet sand to type but my fingers were frozen and so was my phone as it teetered on 3% battery. And how could I wallow in my sad girl moment if my sad girl music could no longer play?? So I walked back and had a different ~ wave of inspiration ~ while sitting back in my car. (Wooahhh how about THESE #bts deets!)
{CAVEAT WITHIN THE CAVEAT}
What I had already written sets the context well enough for what I have now written and I can't think of a way to bridge the two parts without making something up, so instead I am going all meta and exposing this explanation of my jagged writing process, which happened entirely within my phone notes. Okay, here's part two:
There's something interesting about walking on that part of the sand between the dense, packed part where the tide rolls in and the feathery, separated part on the other end. This literal middle ground is a surface roulette. The sand looks like sturdy terrain, and sometimes it is, but sometimes the crusty top crumbles into air pockets of damp dirt, testing your balance. It's neither compacted nor fluffed. It's a workout; it's a trust exercise.
I'll equate it to "grey area."
In this game (or, depending on how dark/light you're feeling, dance) of surface roulette, each step is one, one could say, in faith. Faith that you will continue to walk, whether the ground holds you up effortlessly or whether you have to dig your heels in a bit.
I recently heard (not for the first time but afresh at a time that the subject matter didn't completely repulse me to the point of turning my ears off) that — and this is simply the quote as I heard and wrote it, I think a reference to Richard Rohr's words but Pete Holmes said it — "The opposite of faith isn't doubt; the opposite of faith is anxiety. Meaning, faith is the ability to not know. To not have the answers and not panic, because you know you're in the river and you can just let go."
For a while I've rejected the mere idea of faith. It feels foolish and like voluntary blindness and an invitation to be coerced into something deceivingly hypocritical. I don't mind the idea remaining largely unresolved, perhaps forever, but I can say this: the shakiness of the unknown, the gamble of it, makes it interesting enough to engage. Why else did I continue treading the center sand?
Is it in fact more interesting (fun?) to live in the challenge of the interface? Is constantly contemplating extremes simply a form of living amid them?
Maybe the question of sustainability was the wrong question. I realized after expelling the last post (I say expelling because that is the sensation and felt purpose of these stupid ass (parenthetical within a parenthetical: I will never not value the rhetorical power of the phrase "stupid ass" and no mature orator may sway me) published indulgences) the utter irony of my desire to conclude EITHER grey area OR black/white as good or bad. It's comical really, the levels to which a brain will go in order to make sense of such an integral part of our existence that we cannot even notice its playing out as we investigate it.
Perhaps that previous version of myself, which I had defined as drowning herself in extremes, was not doing that or anything extreme at all. Perhaps she was just living. In light of the turning of a page (it's January damnit!) and thanks to beach walks, I am getting the sense (surprise!) that the perpetual slew of futile questions I'm always asking (which, yes, is exhausting, thank you) just lead to MORE QUESTIONS! This is nothing new. And must be for good reason. And while it's not exactly an answer, and probably in five days I will think of myself as having another epiphany and denounce this denouncement (are you lost yet in my cerebral rabbit holes? yeah, join my therapist), there is a sort of relief that comes with the realization that I am draining myself (and anyone else who lends an ear to my bullshit) dry with this "sensory" illusion -- this illusion that with enough _______, I can make sense of things.
To say this is not to condemn Socrates for his whole "The unexamined life is not worth living" thing. I'm not that full of myself at the moment, and actually, mere rationality and/or enduring bouts of depression post-unexamined-living will undoubtedly lead you to the conclusion that yeah, the unexamined life is not worth living... and therefore I must examine every fucking bit of my life and everything in it and everything about it and everything around it. (Make friends with and make jokes about your coping mechanisms!)
So actually I am speaking to his point — or trying to — by saying, in a weird roundabout way, (GiGi gad no idea she was evoking this kind of reflection) that meaning-making is the whole gig. And while the whole gig is an illusion (because, like faith, it's something that exists and remains in existence due to our human necessity to comfort ourselves and provide some sense of grounded-ness within an untethered and answerless existence), it's worth living. The gig, the gag, is worth living. And even when you're toggling between what seems on the surface to be opposite shores, you're really just swimming.
In the game of surface roulette, you can ponder whether or not the ground will hold you, but it will. You can ponder whether you are anchored or drifting, but it's irrelevant. You don't transcend/escape/outwork/evade the water because you are the water.
And it's not wrong to ponder these questions, even to the point of exhaustion because even though our therapists kindly remind us that we don't need to waste our energy like that, sometimes it's just how we want to live, and sometimes searching for meaning becomes meaningful in of itself. Do what helps you, as long as you're honest with yourself.
Just know: what is unknown is not asking you to know it. If you want to try to wrap your head around paradoxes, sure. (It took a lot of self-control for me not to say "shore" there.) You will create another one, and find yourself entangled within it all the same. (I'm thinking here of that scene in HP where the more the three struggle in the branches, the tighter the branches grip them... By the way it took me nearly 15 minutes scouring the internet typing synonyms for "branches" to find that clip to link... Apparently the correct term is "Devil's Snare," which, from a spiritual standpoint just further confirms by point. So thumbs up.)
I've been thinking lately about how much paper and plastic has been used in the service industry during the pandemic. Isn't it funny that by now, the number of plastic cups and cutlery we managed not to use in that while-long wave of pushing for sustainability (RIP to dialoguing over a coffee bar about my Keep Cup) have probably been surpassed by now? Everything balances out. We make all our efforts to change things, to make a dent, and of course often we do, and things can change, but it's like inevitably the opposite will occur, somewhere, even if only apparent to you in small doses, whether or not you asked for it, just to over and over prove Newton right and your desire for control wrong.
I can't remember the specific video I saw once upon a time but it's from this dude who likes to explain quantum physics, and in this particular one he talks about how when going into deeper levels of **term which I can't recall but wish I could so that I could seem very smart**, there were just more levels and levels of those **term which I can't recall but wish I could so that I could seem very smart** repeating. It was biological inception. That's what life seems to be. The depths repeat what could have been seen from the surface. There are no answers to uncover, no patterns to escape, no unknowns to make known. The ocean already is, and will continue that way, and your (my) struggling against its force is what's drowning you (me), not the waves.
I hope even just a waxing moon sliver of this made sense. I promise I'm completely sober. If it didn't make sense, take with you two items: 1) the thesis of this piece: stop trying to make things make sense; and 2) this is all for my own indulgence and, further exemplifying item 1, these 283 paragraphs are me trying to make things make sense.
Ok, swim on, my fish. Walk on, my reptiles. Fly on, my doves. XO

Q: Android libGDX: Eclipse crash when using google-play-services_lib I'm learning how to make games in libGDX, and I'm trying to add ads to my game.
I'm following this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwAN4LMXo58
(I'm using Eclipse instead of Android Studio).
I got stuck at 9:35 of the tutorial; I've copied all the code and everything seems to look good; but when I try to run the code, nothing starts; Eclipse just keeps loading until the following error pops up:

Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded
GC overhead limit exceeded

It seems to be the same problem as this guy had:
Importing "google-play-services_lib" into Eclipse crashes libgdx project
But I followed all the suggested steps and Eclipse still crashes... (I seem to have too little reputation to comment on that post).

Eclipse didn't crash before, when I didn't select google-play-services_lib in Properties - Android (after right-clicking the android project), but had it selected in Properties - Java Build Path ; but then there was a different problem (which I've partly forgotten), I believe the class AdView couldn't be found or something (sorry for not being to able to be specific).
I'm using Eclipse Luna. I've tried to make a new project just to try everything a second time; same problem.

Please tell me if it would help to post other information! :)

A: This issue is related to your VM options which you can change in your Eclipse.ini file. I don't know your default values but if you increase -Xms and Xmx limits, your problem will be fixed.

Daniel Mondor strains under the weight at the Manitoba Powerlifting Association competition at the Central Plains Recplex in Southport, Sunday.
Southport, Man. — It was one of the last major sporting events in Manitoba before face masks and social distancing became the norm.
This article was published 19/10/2020 (456 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Canadian National Powerlifting and Bench Press Championships, featuring more than 420 of the country's top weightlifters, took place in Winnipeg March 3-7 at the Victoria Inn.
Four days after everyone finished their squats, deadlifts and bench presses, the NBA suspended its season owing to COVID-19 concerns and the rest of the sports world quickly followed suit.
"It was actually really cool because that was the last powerlifting meet in Canada for four or five months there. It was a huge relief because the whole organization... we would've been in a lot of trouble both financially and logistically and out a lot of money and been in a lot of trouble," said Manitoba Powerlifting Association president Mathew Bowen.
"We were very, very fortunate we were able to run the national event two weeks before the world shut down... We knew (COVID-19) was coming. We were paying attention to the news because we didn't have to postpone everything. There were already restrictions happening in B.C. and travel restrictions were starting overseas. We were paying attention to it, but we didn't know the impact that it would have."
Luckily for Bowen and the rest of the local powerlifting community, COVID hasn't stopped them from competing. This weekend the MPA held its provincial championships in Southport, south of Portage la Prairie, at the Central Plains Rec Plex, featuring lifters between the ages of 14-70. The MPA previously held an event in August, which was the first powerlifting competition in Canada since the nationals, at Movement Fitness and Performance in Winnipeg.
It went off without a hitch, leading to the organization feeling comfortable hosting provincials.
The provincial championships do, however, look quite a bit different from a normal year. The entire event, including athletes, coaches and volunteers, is restricted to 50 people. The masters (age 40+) hit the platform Saturday and the juniors (ages 19-23) and sub-juniors (ages 14-18) battled it out Sunday. The open category will take place in November in Selkirk barring any government rule changes. Masks were mandatory for everyone involved on the weekend. With Winnipeg in code orange, the event was moved to Portage la Prairie. Nationals are set for May in Newfoundland.
Jared McIntyre lifts on Sunday.
"There are people with kids or immunocompromised people who won't come," Bowen said.
"Basically our attitiude has been we're going to host the event if the government lets us. You can come if you want to. We have refs that don't want to come, we have athletes that don't want to come, we have volunteers that don't want to come for their own personal reasons. There's no pressure to show up. That's been our stance on this. We just want to be able to hold competitions under the Manitoba guidelines if we can."
To prepare for this year's provincials, lifters had to get creative during the early stages of the pandemic in order to stay sharp.
"During the pandemic, my coach, myself and a few other people chipped in to buy a bunch of equipment and we trained inside my coach's house and made it work that way," said 22-year-old Winnipegger Jared McIntyre who won gold in the 74-kg weight class on Sunday.
"So we overcame a lot of things during the pandemic. We're really passionate about playing the sport. It's something we always made time for. It kind of kept us sane because a lot of people that do usually work out, not just powerlifters, were going crazy with no equipment and gym and all that stuff. I think it's really good for everyone's mental health especially during times like this."

Taylor Armstrong, a 17-year-old from Dauphin who captured gold in 47-kg category, got into the sport right before the pandemic. She said with the precautions in place, she felt safe competing and that athletes like herself are just happy to have the chance to do so.
"It kind of held me together and made the pandemic a lot more bearable as I had my outlet," said Armstrong on having something to train for the past few months.
Bowen said overall the interest level has been high in their events. He believes it's one of the safer sports out there.
"I always say 'Would you rather be in a well-mainted environment or a Wal-Mart?' We've minimized contact... We're not getting close to eachother if we need to... I think it's safer to be here than to be in a public place like Wal-Mart or anywhere really," said Bowen.

Asylum Resources for Attorneys: New Project Compiles Resources for Lawyers Representing Central America Asylum Seekers
A new joint research project between the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Sheller Center for Social Justice at Temple University Beasley School of Law supplies lawyers with an annotated index of documents that can be used to support the asylum claims of those forced to flee El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The index, organized into a series of Annotated Tables of Contents (ATOCs), aims to give attorneys compelling information on country conditions in Central America's Northern Triangle region, detailing "state complicity"—how government actors in the region are unable and unwilling to protect individuals fearing persecution at the hands of non-state actors.
Central America is one of the most violent regions in the world, largely due to the failure of the region's governments to provide basic protections to citizens facing threats such as gang recruitment, extortion, LGBTQ hate crimes, or gender-based violence. There are few options for those facing threats—youth services are limited, economic opportunities are scarce, justice systems fail to uphold the rule of law, and police forces are ineffective and sometimes in league with local gangs. Consequently, vulnerable families, women, children, and LGBTQ people who are victims of violence are forced to flee their communities, often heading for the perceived safety of the United States. Eventually, many of these individuals apply for asylum because they have little confidence that their governments can protect them.
WOLA supports efforts to produce long-term change in the region, including efforts to strengthen the rule of law, attack corruption, and extend violence prevention programs. At the same time, protection is needed for the rights of vulnerable asylum seekers fleeing Central American violence and persecution. The asylum process in the United States is complicated and the Trump administration has continually pushed to make it harder for applicants to qualify for asylum. Detailed research and expertise can provide a powerful countermeasure to this injustice, equipping attorneys to defend the thousands of vulnerable families and children requesting asylum.
With decades of on-the-ground experience in Central America, WOLA's experts are frequently asked to serve as expert witnesses in asylum cases. Given the growing needs of the legal community, and out of a desire to provide more support for asylum seekers, WOLA has partnered with the Sheller Center for Social Justice at Temple University Beasley School of Law on a project to produce a set of resources that provides detailed information on country conditions that lawyers can use to support these asylum claims.
As part of this collaboration, WOLA and Temple Law reached out to asylum lawyers to determine priority issues to research and present through an online index. These ATOCs provide asylum lawyers and their clients with carefully tailored research, demonstrating that the governments of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras are unable and unwilling to protect individuals fearing persecution at the hands of non-state actors. The student researchers have found information that is typically harder to locate, either because it is in Spanish, comes from local in-country news sources, or simply requires some digging to unearth.
The ATOCs focus on state complicity in harms perpetrated by gangs and other non-state actors. Additional, shorter ATOCs analyze state complicity specific to women facing domestic violence and other gendered harms, members of the LGBTQ community, and children, all of whom face persecution by non-state actors. These materials are being produced for Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras—countries from which increasing numbers of asylum seekers are coming.
As contexts shift, WOLA and Temple Law will continue to provide additional materials on different particular social groups and update existing ATOCs.
To access these materials, please visit the following website maintained by the Sheller Center for Social Justice at Temple University Beasley School of Law.

I want to render:
render() {
  const [book={}, ...rest] = this.state.details;
  console.log(JSON.stringify(book, null, 2));

// console.log(book.title);

 return (

{book.title}

{book.author.name}

 );
}

getting error: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined, if I set book's default value to empty object i am able to get title,
but now i get error: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined.
What's the
here's the default state
state = { details: [], loading: true };

componentDidMount() {
  fetch(this.props.match.url)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => this.setState({ details: data, loading: false }))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));
}

A: My understanding from your code and error is that the details object in the state is being fetched asynchronously, and so the component tries to render before it has the required data available.
You could return null or a loading message while the data is being fetched.
render() {
    const [book={}, ...rest] = this.state.details;
    console.log(JSON.stringify(book, null, 2));

    // console.log(book.title);

    if (!book) return null;

    return (

{book.title}

{book.author.name}

    );
}

A: You have to init your object (book):
example
 book = {
      genre: [
        {
          _id: null,
          name: null,
          url: null,
          id: null
        }
      ],
      _id: null,
      title: null,
      summary: null,
      author: {
        _id: null,
        first_name: null,
        family_name: null,
        date_of_birth: null,
        name: null,
        url: null,
        id: null
      },
      isbn: null,
      url: null,
      id: null
    };

A: My guess is during your first render details = [], then you update the state with valid details which causes the component to rerender.
So this is erroring during the first render
Try this
render() {
  const [book={}, ...rest] = this.state.details;
  console.log(JSON.stringify(book, null, 2));

  if (ramda.isEmpty(book)) return null
  // console.log(book.title);

  return (

{book.title}

{book.author.name}

  );

}

A: reading your comments, the details is an array, and you are doing something wrong, which is trying to access to values that are not defined because of an Async call.
so, when you do:
const [book, ...rest] = this.state.details;
you are getting the current [0] object that you have, but since you dont have anything preloaded, you will get and error trying to do book.title because book is undefined.
const [book={}, ...rest] = this.state.details;
basically you are creating a default object if there is nothing (which is the case in the first render), thats why you can see book.title(which is undefined, but book isnt) but then doing book.author.name will show it as an error, because book is defined, but it doesnt have a prop called author, thus author.name wont work.
after your async call finishes on the componentDidMount it updates the state triggering another render and then you will have the data.
you using your code, while you are loading the data use the loading prop on the state that you have, so your render should be like this:
render() {
    if(this.state.loading){
        return null;
    }else{
        const [book={}, ...rest] = this.state.details;
        console.log(JSON.stringify(book, null, 2));

        return (

{book.title}

{book.author.name}

        );
    }
}

Boxtop 22 commemorative cairn: "A place of memory and healing."
By RCAF
"David. Marc. Monty. Paul. Richard. Tony. And the two outside – tend to them first!"
Twenty-five years after the fatal crash of a CC-130 Hercules from 435 Transport Squadron in Edmonton, which was conducting the Boxtop 22 resupply flight to Canadian Forces Station Alert, Nunavut, Captain (retired) Wilma de Groot, once again called the roll.
Every hour or two after the Hercules crashed 16 kilometres from Alert on October 30, 1991, as 12 of the 14 survivors huddled half-frozen in the shattered tail section of the transport aircraft, Captain de Groot, a physician, called out the names of her fellow survivors to ensure they were still awake and had not succumbed to the cold.
They endured more than 30 hours in a brutal storm on the northern tip of Ellesmere Island that brought high winds and temperatures of -20C to -30C with extreme wind chill – all in the 24-hour darkness of the Arctic winter. The first two overland rescue efforts were called back due to weather conditions and dangerous terrain and, although a search and rescue Hercules from 413 Squadron in Greenwood, Nova Scotia, arrived over the site after about eight hours, the search and rescue (SAR) technicians were unable to parachute in because of the high winds and lack of visibility due to cloud cover. When they finally risked the jump, almost all their equipment and medical supplies were whipped away by the wind and disappeared. But they made do with what they had, offering shelter, assistance and comfort to the survivors. Shortly thereafter, another group of SAR techs jumped in, followed by a third overland expedition, carrying supplies and equipment.
The survivors and six SAR techs were flown from the site to the station onboard a CH-135 Twin Huey helicopter that had been transported north onboard another Hercules. The remaining SAR techs, the overland rescuers and the bodies of the dead were brought out by American HH-160 Pave Hawk helicopters from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska.
Four people died almost immediately from injuries sustained during the crash: Captain Judy Trépanier, Master Warrant Officer Tom Jardine, Warrant Officer Robert Grimsley and Master Corporal Roland Pitre. Captain John Couch, the Herc's pilot, answered the roll call for several hours before finally succumbing to hypothermia – after doing everything in his power to help ensure the survival of the other men and women.
Captain de Groot called out the names one last time at Alert when all the survivors had been rescued and were gathered together in the station's dining room, which had been turned into a makeshift medical facility. It was the first and last time all 13 were together; they were then flown south to medical facilities to begin the long process of healing.
She never thought she'd call those names again, but on October 30, 2016, seven survivors and their families, families of three who perished, as well as rescue personnel and a number of people who were in Alert on that terrible day, gathered at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario, to mark the 25th anniversary of the crash and unveil a Boxtop 22 commemorative cairn.
At the end of the private luncheon before the ceremony, the survivors were asked to stand. "Call the roll, Wilma," came a voice from one of the tables. Captain de Groot stood and, as she once again called the roll, one by one the survivors in attendance stood and answered her call with "Here!"
"The two outside" – Ms. Sue Hillier and Mr. Bob Thompson – could not be brought into the shelter of the crashed Hercules' tail because their injuries were too extreme for them to be moved. The others built a shelter around them and, against all odds, they survived. Captain de Groot's words to "tend to them first" echoed what she told the search and rescue technicians when they finally reached the survivors in the tail section.
"It was far more emotional than I expected it to be. Seeing the people stand up when I said their name was actually very, very emotional, and I didn't expect that at all," said Captain de Groot. "I was told by someone who was at Alert at that time that I did the roll call when we were in the dining room and they thought that we were delirious and didn't know where we were. And no, it was a very deliberate [act] – like today. 'We are now back in the same place together. Who's still here?'"
The families of Master Warrant Officer Tom Jardine, Warrant Office Grimsley and Master Corporal Pitre attended the luncheon and ceremony.
Master Warrant Officer Tony Cobden – the last Boxtop 22 survivor still serving in the Canadian Armed Forces – Captain (retired) Wilma de Groot, Captain (retired) Richard Dumoulin, Captain (retired) David Meace (who held the rank of master corporal at the time of the crash), Master Seaman (retired) Douglas "Monty" Montgomery, Master Warrant Officer (retired) Marc Tremblay and Sergeant (retired) Paul West were also there.
Also surviving the crash were Mr. Robert Thomson, Ms. Susan Hillier, Lieutenant Joe Bales, Lieutenant Michael Moore, and Master Corporal Mario Ellefsen, and Private Bill Vance, who passed away in May 2002.
