Hans Knot werd vorig jaar benaderd door mevrouw Hoodle van Leeuwen. Eind jaren 60 verhuurde zij kamers aan o.a. voormalig Caroline en RNI DJ Carl Mitchell. Carl Mitchell is begin 1971 naar Denemarken vertrokken met achterlating van zijn persoonlijke spullen, waar onder veel zeezender herinneringen, in de kamer. Carl Mitchell is in 1991 overleden. Dit is de 4e publicatie uit de zeezender herinneringen van Carl Mitchell.
Every avid listener to the offshore radio stations in the sixties and seventies recalls that now and then a letter was read from another listener who wanted to tell how the reception of the station was in his radio shack. Radio Northsea International had, at one stage, an excellent program, called RNI Goes DX, run by Albert. J. Beirens and assisted by Pierre Deseyn. Both came from Belgium and through very good contacts with the owners of the radio ship MEBO II, which housed RNI from January 1970 up till August 1974, AJ Beirens was offered producing and presenting a special program. RNI transmitted the programs on AM, FM and Shortwave. In his program A.J. Beirens not only talked about recent changing within the radio industry, but he highlighted also the history of stations, especially those active in the past from international waters. Above that he had a feature in which he talked to the listeners, who wrote in to the program.
If you follow my articles about Radio Northsea International through the years you understand that I've followed this station a lot, as it was for me the best since Radio London disappeared off the air in August 1967. I had and still have several contacts with people who worked for the station and therefore my archive about RNI has some marvellous documents. This time I dived into a file called 'special listener reports'. Most of the letters used for this article were from the Carl Mitchell archive, which is in my possession since 2006. More than 600 envelops sent to the stations were never opened until I got them here in Groningen.
The radio ship MEBO II left Holland for anchorage on January 22nd 1970 off the Dutch coast in international waters and the next day at 10.30 GMT the first test started on 6210 kHz and on 102 MHz FM. It lasted up till February 11th that for the first time the station was on the air at 1610kHz, 186 metres AM.
It was William P.Kilroy in Washington USA who thought he already heard RNI on 1562 kHz, as he wrote to the station's Swiss address (RNI Box 1136, CH 8047 Zürich in Switzerland) a long letter: 'I would like to inquire if your station on MEBO II is yet commenced broadcasting. Early this morning, I made a tape of a station on 1562 kilocycles, January 26, 1970 at 8.50 AM Central European time. The program format consisted of many popular music tunes mostly US Songs of current popularity'.
Killroy also wrote that probably one of the announcements heard was done in the Flemish language. He had made a tape recording and wrote that he could be of help when they wanted a copy. The signal strength, of the station he received, was excellent. Two other notes to mention from this letter from the USA are firstly that William Killroy used a Hammarlund HQ double conversion receiver with the use of a 20 metre longwire antenna up 8 metres. Secondly he mentioned that he heard in various radio bulletins that Radio Veronica, at that stage, had ceased broadcasting. Well that wasn't truth of course as the offshore station Veronica went on transmitting up till August 31st 1974. And next to that it's clear Killroy received another station as the frequency wasn't used by RNI and also the AM was not on the air before February 11th.
Then a rundown of programming follows in the article in Disc and Music Echo and some news of new deejays, who will come aboard: 'Ross Brown, alias Freddy Bear, Ed Mereno are expected to join soon. Well Ross Brown never appeared aboard the MEBO II and Ed Mereno only for one short stint.
What occurred was that the transmissions on 186 metres interfered with the Walton on the Naze coastguard, who used the 183 metres. So they really had problems there to stay in contact with the Trinity House as well as the lightships at the time. March 27th RNI decided to closedown the AM transmitter for a small period to return on the air on April 10th on a frequency of 1578 kHz (190 metres). It took another 5 days before the British Authorities decided that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications had to take action. A jamming transmitter with a 800 c/s tone came on the air on the same frequency as RNI was. The governmental transmitting site at Rochester in Kent was therefore in use.
This resulted of course in a very difficult way of radio listening to RNI. I personally remember Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the sky' as the first record I heard when the jamming period started. It was highlighted on the double LP 'The History of RNI' which was produced by Jacob Kokje and Hans Knot for the station in 1973. And when a station is in problems of course the letters are coming in with hundreds a day.
On RNI the presenters still asked the listeners to send in reception reports and one of the many who did so was Peter Newton from Watford in County Herts. I can't exactly mention the date he wrote the letter to RNI as in the header of the letter is says 'Time 11.40 Tuesday I don't know the date 'I have written in answer to your request on Tuesday, you wanted to know what local receptions were like. Unfortunately we get a lot of Morse code and some f…..g German station or other coming in and interfering. The signal is good though and there's very little fade out. I would like to really congratulate you guys because I think what you're doing is really worthwhile you know. I was real sick when 'Caroline' folded up and hoped someone would get it together soon'.
The rest of the text of the letter from Peter Newton tells it clear in swearing words that he disliked the government in Britain and also would like the BBC to leave the air for ever. It was just before RNI became Caroline for a few weeks in 1970.
And that Michael was indeed a super fan of RNI in 1970 became known in another strophe from his letter when he told what he was doing to publicise the station by the old way of Graffiti: 'I'm writing it everywhere on trains, on walls for everyone must know that Radio Northsea is the Greatest and the Weird Beard is back!' With the last words he wrote about Carl Mitchell, who worked for Caroline in 1967/1968 and came back on the air for RNI in March 1970. His nickname was 'The Weird Beard'.
One of the organisations who fought against the government in the sixties and seventies of last century, with several petitions, demonstrations and other forms of protest was the FRA (Free Radio Association.) Listeners could become members of the FRA and even could set up their own local branch. March 24th 1970, the next letter was written by Fred Power to deejay Carl Mitchell. He came from the Isle of Wight and claimed his place was the Headquarter for the Free Radio Association, Isle of Wight Branch.
Next to the official protests made by the FRA and other organisations (see also my article 'The fight for free radio, The political activation of offshore radio's fanbase 1964-1989' at www.soundscapes.info Volume 6, 2003), a lot of individuals wrote to the authorities when the RNI transmitter on the mediuwwave was heavily jammed. A non personal standard answer was sent back by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications: 'Dear Mr. I have been asked to reply to your recent letter addressed to the Minister about the pirate station Radio North Sea International. I hope you will find the information contained in the enclosed leaflet, which was written when the Marine Etc. Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967 was made law, will help you understand why pirate broadcasting stations cannot be allowed to operate'. Was undersigned by W.F. Johnson.
He did enclosed an international reply coupon for an answer. Sadly enough when I was exploring the hugh boxes with letters from the Carl Mitchell archive, which I got early 2006 from Mrs and Mr Hoodle in Amsterdam (housekeepers of the late Carl Mitchell) this letter was still in a disclosed envelop. So Anthony never got an answer on his letter.
And I can tell you that this was not the only listener in France as there were a lot, especially to the programs of RNI. During 1970 I was already writing on the subject radio – in those days for Pirate Radio News - and I can tell you we had a lot of subscribers in France. one of them – the late great André Blondeau – was a fine fanatic follower of RNI and recorded a lot himself. At one stage, when the boss of the Dutch service had asked Jacob Kokje, co-editor of the Pirate Radio News to record the station 24 hours a day, André also came around the corner. The recorded '24 hours a day' tapes were kept in store for four weeks and once a month, or so, André drove form his living place, Neuilly sur Seine, to Leiden in Holland and took the tapes with him. Still the main bunch of tapes are in store. The very sympathic Blondeau died early in a car accident, but the archive survived and treasured by the people of the French OEM.
A dramatic event happened at Saturday August 29th 1970 as a launch, the Viking, and the Huski, a tug, were seen heading for the radioship of RNI, the MEBO II. Following the words of the presenters the Viking drew alongside and a guy with the name of Kees Manders climbed aboard the MEBO II. He told the crew and captain that the radioship had to be taken into the harbour of Scheveningen. After the captain told him to leave the radioship he left threatening to cut the anchor and tow her in. Also they warned to put water cannons on the transmitter mast. The deejays were broadcasting a live report on what was happening and requested on the air for assistance. Phone numbers from the head office in Zürich as well as the phone number of the Hotel in Scheveningen were both RNI directors Meister and Bollier stayed at the time, were mentioned several times over the air. Several ships came to assistance and even the Dutch navy vessel VanNes anchored nearby. Then the Huski as well as the Viking left to Rotterdam and Scheveningen harbour. It was a dramatic happening which was, as told, live on the air. In the evening Andy Archer was very happy he could play a lot of requests to the young lads on the Navy Vessel. After the transmissions of the Kees Manders thing, many letters came in and I've chosen the one which was dated April 30th 1970.
Ivan and Roy Parker were responsible for writing the letter from their home in Thorrington, near Colchester in Essex: 'We thought we would like you to drop a line and congratulate you and the other staff on the MEBO II on the way you dealt with the situation on Saturday 29th August. It must be very difficult to keep programmes flowing calmly without being able to see what is going on outside. Immediately we switched on our radio and realised what was happening we started our tape recorder in case we were witnessing the end of R.N.I., obviously we are delighted this was not so.
A pity also Ivan and Roy Parker never got an answer on this question as the letter had a closed envelop, like most of the mentioned letters. They were all found back in the boxes which Carl Mitchell had left in Amsterdam in 1971 and which were officially given to me by his former housekeeper in early 2006. More another time.

Studies have shown that cloud users end up enjoying as much as a 17% IT cost reduction compared to their non-cloud counterparts.
The cloud allows you to use software as a service. Microsoft 365 is one such example. When you use software as a service, you enjoy certain benefits such as more regular updates at a lower cost and the ability to have anyone work on the program for you by sharing the access credentials with them.
Moving to a cloud-based environment puts the burden of maintenance and downtime reduction on your service provider. That means you can use your limited IT staff more efficiently and also don't have to worry about the costs associated with such maintenance or downtime.
Studies have shown that cloud users enjoy better productivity than their non-cloud counterparts. This could be because cloud service providers are better equipped to handle any IT eventualities than the average SMBs.
So, perhaps it's time to 'get cloudy' and enjoy all that the cloud has to offer your SMB. And…if you need help in doing that, we are just a phone call away! Contact us.

Dramond Bryant transforms into leader for New Bern basketball
Dylan Johnson
For the Sun Journal
New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra famously said, "baseball is 90% mental and 10% physical." For any sport, when an athlete masters the mental side of the game, it can unlock new levels of success. New Bern junior guard Dramond Bryant's big jump on the basketball court this year can be traced to doing exactly that.
"I used to get down on myself a lot and let outside life affect how I was doing on and off the court and also in the classroom," he said this week. "Being mentally strong has helped me so much this season and it also built my confidence."
Bryant has at least doubled all of his averages this season. In 20 games last season he averaged 5.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. In six games this season, those averages are up to 13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.2 blocks per game.
"For (Dramond) the biggest reason for growth in his game has been confidence," New Bern head coach Calvin Campbell. "He has the potential to be one of the better players on the court every night he just had to start believing that himself."
He's not just doing more; he's also doing it more efficiently. Bryant's field goal percentage this season is 47%, up from 32% a year ago. He's also up to 76% from the free throw line this year after shooting 68% last season. Most of the increase in his shooting accuracy has come from two-pointers, where he's up to 56% this season from 34% a year ago. For context, he's made six more two-point shots this season on 14 fewer attempts so far.
"It's a huge confidence booster to see what I've worked on to make me a better person and basketball player," Bryant said. "I know that coach Campbell believes in my abilities every time I step on the court. That's another huge confidence booster. Every practice I get more and more confident, and I feel like that was one big thing that I was always missing in my game."
Bryant has scored in double figures in three straight games, culminating in his star performance in New Bern's 65-37 win over Southern Wayne. He poured in 32 points, grabbed six rebounds and recorded five steals.
"It couldn't have happened to a better kid. He faced some adversity last season, and I was hard on him because of the potential I saw in him, so for him to be reaping the benefits now is a great feeling," Campbell said.
New Bern is off to a good start this season with a 4-2 record. After dropping its first game, the Bears have won four of the last five, only losing to perennial juggernaut South Central.
The Bears fell to 4-3 on Friday night after an overtime loss to Rose, but Campbell says he just wants to see Bryant's motor running high every single day, practice or game. Bryant's expectations are similar, and then some.
"Continue to work hard on and off the court and to uplift my teammates and win a state championship. I believe we can do it; we have all the pieces to do so."

The energy during the services these last couple of weeks has been evident. We have heard a lot of discussion around all the exciting things happening at Church this fall!
Sunday, September 7 marks the 'official' beginning of our Church year with the traditional Welcome Back Picnic. As always, we will provide the hotdogs and hamburgers. Thank you to many who have signed on to help set up, clean up, and provide sides or desserts.
It will be an eventful day! In addition to the picnic, there will be a Formation "Sneak a Peek" for children and adults, and we will have a Blue Grass Mass.
For those of us who have had the opportunity to travel away from home this summer, it may be a bit of a fabulous shock to have so much excitement and energy all around you at Church. As we have said in earlier Checking-Ins, so many people gave extra time and energy developing all our programs during the summer. The result of their efforts is the positive responses all around us!
We have to remember that this is just the beginning of our year. Just like school starting up and everyone wanting new routines and activities to 'stick', we have to pace ourselves to maintain this energy toward our programming. There are lots of ways we can encourage this. However, the most important is to encourage involvement. How many of our mothers told us to 'try it, you might like it'? And, how often were they correct?
So we as your Vestry, are encouraging you to not just come to the picnic, but to become involved with one of the programs that you see information on. We are serving as greeters during each service and are available to listen to your interests and ideas. After all, it is by listening to as many of you as we could and meeting together frequently that we have developed this great start to our Church year. Welcome Back to Church!

Increased knowledge will help you now. Have mate's phone bugged.
The dead man is to be referred to as the "suspect" and never the "victim". The intent of these talking points is to cast suspicision onto the dead man and direct any criticism away from the police.
He was not Caucasian. Preferably he was of Asian or Arab appearance.
Do not just mention that he was (mistakenly) taken for a suicide bomber, but describe suicide bombings in detail. Especially the aftermath. The intention should be to frighten the reader.
Remind the reader what would (never say "might") have happened if the suspect "had" been a suicide bomber and the police had "not" shot him. Exaggerate.
Imply that he had a rucksack of the same colour, size, and design as preferred by real suicide bombers.
Blame the terrorists for his death and be sympathetic towards the police at all times.
When describing the man use imagary drawn only from the CCTV pictures of the real bombers. Conjour up the image of a suicide bomber.
Mention but do not discuss his innocence. Mention it only when necessary.
Belittle the suspect. Describe him in negative terms as poorly dressed, unshaven, and nervous, but also as a physically intimidating man, burly, agile, fit, dangerous.
It should not be written that he "failed" to obey police as failure may be construed as meaning that there was some other possible reason for his not stoping than presumed guilt. Avoid passive associations by describing his actions only with action words commonly associated with guilt such as "refused" or "resisted".
Give conflicting eye-witness accounts of the actual moments of the shooting so as to protect officers.
One witness thought he saw a "bomb-belt" on the suspect. Quote this witness extensively and as often as possible. Offer no speculation or implication that he may have been mistaken (which of course he was). Use his observation as if it was the sworn testimony of an expert in suicide bombings requiring no further comment.
The police began following the suspect after he left an apartment in the same block in which another apartment was under surveillance. Use this in such a way as to connect him to the bombers (by describing the apartment block as a "house", for example). Do not speculate that the police may have followed the wrong man.
Bury the information that the real bombers are still on the loose by mentioning some vague arrests but do not give details as those arrested in the early days of such crises invariably turn out to be innocent.
Avoid mention of the suspect's family (especially if it turns out he had a wife and kids) but report in depth on how sorry the police are. Use words like "regret" and "tragic".
Assert that the way in which the suspect "dived or fell to ground" was cause for suspicion in itself. Never connect this to the simultaneous shouting by armed police for every one to "get down" as this may contradict prior assertions that he refused to obey the police.
Report it as if "the regulations" required the police to shoot him.
Report that there will be an internal enquiry as if this is a magnanimous police gesture as opposed to mere routine. Report on the process but not the substance of the enquiry, and phrase process descriptions in terms of thoroughness, accountability, and above all sufficiency. Avoid mention of previous police-shootings that have resulted in public enquiries.
Generate debate on the circumstances in which the police should shoot to kill, and avoid moral or legal issues. Frame the debate in terms of terrorism only and dismiss mistaken-identity arguments as left-wing or liberal.
If the suspect turns out to be non-muslim you should still continue to question muslim clerics on matters related to terrorism.
If the suspect does turn out to be muslim connect muslim sympathy or sorrow over his death with radical extremism.
Utterly groundless speculation is allowed to be presented as fact only when it results in a positive image for HMG.
All other topics, speculation, criticisms of the police, or discussions, are forbidden.

A Powerfull Message on the Fall of Humanity from Keanu Reaves*
Keanu Reeves has long been known to be a stellar actor, one who can play serious and hilarious roles. Something else he's becoming known for is his wisdom. It's not something you often find in celebrities. Every few months, he…
"I cannot be part of a world where men dress their wives as prostitutes by showing everything that should be cherished. Where there is no concept of honour and dignity, and one can only rely on those when they say "I promise" .
Where women do not want children, and men don't want a family.
Where the suckers believe themselves to be successful behind the wheel of their fathers` cars, and a father who has a little bit of power is trying to prove to you that you're a nobody.
Where people falsely declare that they believe in God with a shot of alcohol in their hand, and the lack of any understanding of their religion.
Where the concept of jealousy is considered shameful, and modesty is a disadvantage.
Where people forgot about love, but are simply looking for the best partner.
Where people repair every rustle of their car, not sparing any money or time, and themselves, they look so poor that only an expensive car can hide it.
Where the boys waste their parents money in nightclubs, aping under the primitive sounds, and girls fall in love with them for this.
Where men and women are no longer identifiable and where all this together is called freedom of choice, but for those who choose a different path-get branded as retarded despots.
I choose my path, but it's a pity that I did not find similar understanding in the people among whom I wished to find it most of all … "

For British MP Grenfell Tower Fire Was an Inside Job*
By Sean Adl-Tabatabai
A British MP has accused the U.K. government of covering-up evidence about the cause of the Grenfell Tower fire in what looks increasingly like an inside job.
According to Labour MP David Lammy, contractors working on the Grenfell Tower are removing vital evidence from the scene of the crime, destroying documents about the incident and threatening whistleblowers with lawsuits in order to cover-up the truth about what really happened.
The British government in collusion with the mainstream media have already been caught underplaying the death toll as a result of the fire – with many estimating that as many as 500-600 could have been killed – a massive difference from the 58 officially being reported.
Presstv.com reports: Speaking to SkyNews on Sunday, Labour MP David Lammy said some contractors working on the Grenfell Tower were removing evidence of their work after the last week inferno that killed dozens of people in the 24-story building.
"Within the community, trust in the authorities is falling through the floor and a suspicion of a cover-up is rising," said Lammy, who lost a close friend in the fire.
"The Prime Minister needs to act immediately to ensure that all evidence is protected so that everyone culpable for what happened at Grenfell Tower is held to account and feels the full force of the law," he added.
The MP called on the government to find and preserve all emails, meeting documents, correspondence with contractors, safety assessments, specifications and reports in order to withhold justice for the victims.
The Wednesday blaze has so far killed 58 people while many other residents still remain unaccounted for.
"At this stage, it is my grave concern that the families of Grenfell Tower will not get justice if documents are being quietly destroyed and shredded and emails are being deleted," Lammy (pictured below) further warned.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has already called on the government to conduct an investigation into reports that Gavin Barwell, the former housing minister who was recently appointed as the Prime Minister's adviser, had failed to OK a fire safety review request he had received.
Later on Sunday, former U.K. chancellor Philip Hammond said the cladding material used on the building was banned on British high-rises.
May under fire for U-turn
Meanwhile, embattled May found herself in more trouble on Sunday, after her administration walked back a promise to house the survivors of the fire in the same neighbourhood.
A day after the deadly incident, Housing Minister Alok Sharma told MPs the government "will guarantee that every single family from Grenfell Tower will be re-housed in the local area."
However, May retracted the pledge on Saturday night, said that the residents would be found homes in the same borough or neighboring ones.

U.S. Aircraft Directly Transporting ISIS Fighters Out of Raqqa*
As the death toll climbs in the city of Raqqa, the United States is now being accused of transporting ISIS fighters to safety, before embarking on an offensive that has included reports of cluster bombs and white phosphorus.
Iranian news agency Fars News reported that Ammar al-Assad, a senior Syrian lawmaker, said the U.S. has "allowed over 120 [ISIS] members to leave Raqqa with their weapons and go towards al-Sukhnah to create insecurity in Palmyra."
"The U.S. is highly coordinated with the Syrian Democratic Forces as some of the group's commanders are from the U.S., Britain, France and certain regional states," al-Assad reportedly said.
"Actually what is happening in the battlefield is against what the media says. Many surprising events happen."
Al-Assad claimed that "three weeks ago, the U.S.-led coalition planes staged heliborne operations in Raqqa and transferred a number of ISIL ringleaders to unknown places."
He also questioned how groups such as ISIS and Syria's Democratic Forces could arrive at such an agreement, given their ideological differences.
One of the most notable things Ammar Al-Assad reportedly told Fars News was that the leaders "were not Syrian, Iraqi or Chinese, but were the western commanders" of ISIS.
Reports of the U.S.-led coalition transporting ISIS leaders out of the city of Raqqa is especially interesting, given the fact that the city they are fleeing from is the same city that has been a direct target of the coalition's wrath in recent weeks.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, an army backed by the U.S.-led coalition, began its effort to capture Raqqa on June 6, with an onslaught of airstrikes and ground troops.
As The Free Thought Project has reported, there have been multiple claims that the coalition dropped a cluster of airstrikes on Raqqa—a city housing at least 200,000 people—containing chemicals such as white phosphorus, which is illegal in residential areas.
Xinhua News, China's state press agency, reported that
"Tens of civilians were killed on Thursday when the U.S.-led airstrikes targeted Syria's northern city of Raqqa with white phosphorus," citing a report from Syria's Sham FM radio.
After just one week, Paulo Pinheiro, chairman of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry, told the Human Rights Council on Wednesday that the coalition's sharp increase in attacks has led to a "staggering loss of civilian life," and has "led to 160,000 civilians fleeing their homes."
"Coalition air strikes have intensified around the city," Pinheiro said.
"As the operation is gaining pace very rapidly, civilians are caught up in the city under the oppressive rule of ISIL, while facing extreme danger associated with movement due to excessive air strikes."
Karen Abuzayd, an American commissioner, told the council that the independent panel has documented around 300 deaths in the region since March.
"We have documented the deaths caused by the coalition air strikes only and we have about 300 deaths, 200 in one place, in al-Mansoura, one village," Abuzayd said.
Reuters noted that the death toll could be much greater, but because U.N. investigators do not have access to Syria, they are limited to conducting interviews with "survivors and witnesses in neighboring countries or by Skype with those still in Syria."
If the latest claims out of Syria are found to be true, it would mean that the United States has now been accused of transporting the leaders of the enemy it claims to be fighting to safety, and then using chemical weapons to torturing the innocent civilians of that city—which is arguably a war crime.
If these types of accusations were made against Russia or Syria, the U.S. government would band together with the mainstream media to demand WAR. However, when the claims are made against the United States, both entities fall eerily silent.

INVASION ALERT! White Christian Criminal Hordes Overrun America*
By Kevin Barrett
White Christian Crime in America
By Dr. John Andrew Morrow
Since 2016 FBI statistics are still preliminary, this study is based on the complete findings covering the year 2015. During the year in question, 3,908 white Americans were charged with murder or manslaughter, 11,809 were charged with rape, 32,439 were charged with robbery, 184,024 with aggravated assault, 112,992 with burglary, 621,585 with larceny, 4,952 with arson, 234,190 with violent crime, 779,529 with property crime, 544,870 for other types of assault, 27,419 with forgery and counterfeiting, 67,594 with fraud, 7,278 with embezzlement, 44,561 with theft, 101,481 with vandalism, 63,967 with weapons offenses, 17,084 with prostitution, 28,650 with sex offenses, 803,809 with drug abuse violations, 1,296 with illegal gambling, 47,312 with crimes against families and children, 681,638 with driving under the influence, 160,628 with violating liquor laws, 239,556 with public drunkenness, 189,321 with disorderly conduct, 13,247 with vagrancy, and 17,782 with loitering.
Caucasian Americans, 70% of whom are Christians, were responsible for a whopping 69.7% of crimes committed in the United States in 2015. 26.7% of crimes were committed by African American, 83% of whom are Christians, while 18.4% of crimes were committed by Hispanics, 98% of whom are Christians. Clearly, some will suggest, there is a correlation between Christians and crime as well as a correlation between Caucasians and crime. American Indians, in contrast, committed a mere 2.1% of the crime in the country. Caucasians and Christians come to our indigenous land and show no respect for our laws. Rather than contribute to the country, they spread crime and spend their time sexually assaulting women. The rate of white-on-white and Christian-on-Christian crime in America is staggering.
If white, predominantly Christian, men were all deported back to Europe or the Island of Patmos, the crime rate would drop nearly 70%. If we deported all American Christians, including African Americans and Hispanic Americans, who make up 71% of the US population, as part of this plan of repatriation, crime would be almost eradicated. The statistics speak for themselves. Of the tens of thousands of women who were sexually assaulted by violent misogynistic men in 2015, 57% were raped by white predominantly Christian men and 27% by black predominantly Christian men. As for the rest, their ethnicity was unknown or mixed. One can only assume that many of them were Hispanic Christian men.
At 1%, American Muslims are a minuscule part of the population. They have the second highest level of education of any group in the country, surpassed only by American Jews. When it comes to education, American Muslims are ahead of all groups in gender equality: Muslim women with university degrees outnumber Muslim men. Muslim women are also more likely to work as professionals than women from most other religious groups. The number of crimes committed by American Muslims is microscopic. In fact, they are among the most upstanding and law-abiding citizens of the United States. White Christians: Stop blaming Blacks, Latinos, immigrants, illegal aliens, and Muslims for crime. From a statistical standpoint, Muslims are not a menace to America. Face the facts America, the overwhelming majority of crimes in this country are committed by Caucasians and Christians. Muslims might kill you with kindness and hospitality. Non-Muslims will rape, rob, and kill you for real.

Heavily Guarded Ancient Artifacts… Why?
These ancient artifacts have the ability to rock the foundations of civilization, religion and history to their very core. The strange and amazing secrets of the past are just a heavily guarded government vault away.
This is a detailed study of how and why government agencies have, for decades, taken a clandestine and profound interest in numerous archaeological, historical and religious puzzles.
Investigates the abiding interest of American (and British) military and civilian intelligence agencies in anomalous ancient artifacts and megalithic sites representing exotic technology that can be utilized, primarily, for military purposes, and which may threaten with rewriting history as we know it.
Needless to emphasize, an equal measure of attention has been devoted to certain researchers and their hypotheses.

Hacking The Planet: The Climate Engineering Reality*
By Dane Wigington
In the mid 1940's global powers made the decision to intervene in Earth's climate and life support systems without the knowledge or consent of populations.
The weather makers tell us their programs are a form of mitigation for global warming, but is this the truth?
Is climate engineering / solar radiation management helping to cool the planet?
Or are the ongoing geoengineering operations only temporarily cooling some regions at the cost of further fuelling the overall rapid unravelling of Earth's climate and life support systems? What other covert agendas are being carried out? How dangerous is the highly toxic heavy metal fallout from these programs that is raining down through our breathable air column? "
Hacking The Planet: The Climate Engineering Reality" is a condensed hard hitting 40+ minute climate engineering educational documentary. This informational video reveals shocking film footage of the ongoing atmospheric spraying operations in addition to covering the most fundamental facts about the covert global geoengineering / climate intervention programs. Answers to the most frequently asked climate engineering questions are also covered in this production.
Will climate engineering save humanity from global warming?
Or will man's attempt to play God with the weather only ensure our common demise?

Use of the Pythagorean Theorem and its Three Dimensions in Ancient Babylon*
By Luis Teia
Very much like today, the Old Babylonians—20th to 16th centuries BC—had the need to understand and use what is now called the Pythagoras' (or Pythagorean) theorem. They applied it in very practical problems such as to determine how the height of a cane leaning against a wall changes with its inclination. This sounds trivial, but it was one of the most important problems studied at the time.
A remarkable Old Babylonian clay tablet, commonly referred to as Plimpton 322, was found to store combinations of three positive integers that satisfy Pythagoras' theorem. Today we call them primitive Pythagorean triples where the term primitive implies that the side lengths share no common divisor.
Old Babylonian clay tablet (known as Plimpton 322) stores combination of primitive Pythagorean triples: (above) photo of original and (below) translated.
Why was the tablet built?
Unlike what one may imagine, the reason behind the tablet was not an interest in the number-theoretical question, but rather the need to find data for a 'solvable' mathematical problem. It is even believed that this tablet was a 'teacher's aide' for setting up and solving problems involving right triangles. This sounds like an environment not so different from our classrooms today.
How is this related to us?
As human beings we share the same nature as the Old Babylonians – in solving problems to live and evolve. The problems nowadays are normally more exotic and elaborate than a cane against a wall, but they share the same legacy. Right-angles are everywhere, whether it is a building, a table, a graph with axes, or the atomic structure of a crystal. While these are our contemporary challenges, we, like the Babylonians, strive to deepen our understanding of the Pythagoras' theorem, and on the various triples that generate these useful right-angles for our everyday practical applications.
Spherical trigonometry: Three right angles inside a triangle on a sphere (Public Domain)
Were the Babylonians so different from us?
Babylonians may have used algorithms to compute side lengths of right-angled triangles into areas, and vice versa, similar to our contemporary numerical methods of analysis. These areas were farming fields, while the side lengths were canals for irrigation. Maybe the canals were structured to distribute a certain amount of water per canal.
Nowadays, in a very similar manner, computers are used to find the distribution of properties (e.g., stress, deflection, etc.) along a material (e.g., a metal beam), or even the displacement of fluids through volumes (i.e., computational fluid dynamics).
To find a solution to a problem, analytical solutions are often not available. Hence, numerical methods are employed. These consist of splitting the volume that is being analyzed (say the material of a beam, or the air in a room) into small elements (typically Platonic solids like prisms or tetrahedral). It is interesting to think that this so-called "meshing" in the engineering world, or splitting a calculation into small portions, was already applied by the old Babylonians.
Overall, one could say that the tendency to split a problem into pieces, and solve them individually to find the answer, is a human characteristic that we share with the people of Babylon. From this perspective, the Babylonians were not so different from us.
Babylonian problems employed calculations similar to our contemporary numerical challenges
Did the Babylonians know the Pythagoras' Theorem?
Some argue that scribes in Old Babylonian period knew Pythagoras' theorem 1,000 years before he did . The most famous tablets here – one showing a square with two diagonals, and Plimpton 322 containing a table of numerical symbols – suggests that the Babylonians knew at least some of the consequences of the theorem . Whether they derived the proof as Pythagoras did, it is unknown.
A Babylonian tablet bearing a rough sketch of a square and its diagonals, and Pythagoras and his theorem
It is clear that the Pythagoras' theorem has greatly helped humankind to evolve. It is universally applicable, but still it is exclusively binding to two dimensions. Since we live in a three dimensional world, the awareness of this gap in knowledge poses the question…
What does the Pythagoras' Theorem look like in three dimensions?
Until recently, this was not known. For the past five years, Luis Teia has conducted a one-man quest to shed light on this mystery. Based on his recent paper, Pythagoras triples explained via central squares published in the 2015 edition of the Australian Mathematics Senior Journal, he derived the proof. It is not philosophically farfetched to say that even the simplest things escape great minds. For example, Teia shows how to hand draw all the Pythagoras' triples starting from the first (3,4,5) together in one outward evolving infinite spiral. This is something Pythagoras himself could have drawn some 2500 years ago, but the fact is, it eluded him and his followers, until now. Similarly, the three dimensional version of his theorem also eluded him, and is now presented.
Progressive construction of the Pythagoras family of triple as an outward evolving infinite spiral
Why is the 3D Pythagorean Theorem important?
Considering the radical technological leap that Pythagoras imparted on mankind with his theorem some 2.5 millennia ago, the implications of this new 3D version can be equally significant today. Perhaps, it leads to an "upgraded" three-dimensional version of our current trigonometry. Who knows?
As for Teia's next dream, he will be exploring the physical meaning of the three dimensional theorem (ergo the 3D "cane against the wall" problem), and the practical impact it has on contemporary science.

Just the Baseball stitches, that's it! Well, actually you get a LOT with this design... a myriad of SIZES, something for everyone... starting with a 3.5" great for babies and doll shirts that fits the 4x4 hoop, on up... 5" to 13" high!!!
For reference, if you look at the picture showing one of my testers wearing her sweatshirt: word MOM is 3" high by 7.5" wide on this sweatshirt and the stitches are 10" high. Can't you picture your child's jersey # right under the MOM? Great for Girlfriend and Little Sis shirts! Your Softball player will love one for herself too! You will receive 8 sizes (a total of 15 files, except in JEF, only 13 files there as the 13" will not convert to JEF) to fit your 4x4, 5x7, 9x9, 6x10, 200x300mm (8x12) and 200x360mm (8x14")hoops! NOTE: Larger sizes are separated into Left Side(LT) and Right Side (RT) and will require multiple hooping for most machines to get the desired effect with a monogram etc in the middle. I have included complete sets to fit in various hoops: 3.5x3, 5x7, 6x9, and 8x12.

In simple terms, a lead refers to a person or company you are hoping to turn into a paying customer. Each lead should be a business that is a good fit for your product or service in terms of its size, market sector and turnover, and who could benefit from the solution you are offering.
The way businesses qualify and categorise leads will vary greatly from company to company, but most will use a sliding scale ranging from cold to hot.

A cold B2B lead is a company that is a good fit for your product or service (based on your pre-determined criteria) but who hasn't yet engaged with your brand.
Cold leads are generally purchased from a third party lead generation company – a bought in contact list – rather than being gathered by a company itself. They will have a much lower conversion rate due to the unfamiliarity the contacts have with your brand. The aim here is to plug away until you find the few opportunities that may be amongst them and then to nurture these leads over time, to turn them into warm leads.
What is a warm sales lead?
A warm B2B sales lead is a business that has interacted with your company directly, completing a set of predefined actions. This may include filling out a contact form, visiting your website multiple times, or downloading certain content. Basically, any action that shows they are getting closer to the point of purchase and may be ready to be contacted by the sales team.
The leads will have actively shown an interest in the product or service you are offering and will be much more likely to talk to you about their problem and your solution.
What is a hot sales lead?
A hot sales lead, also known as a B2B Sales Qualified Lead (SQL), is a business that has shown a strong intent to purchase and is worth contacting immediately. There are many ways you may judge that a lead is now hot, for example: they may have come to your website via paid advertising, been nurtured along the sales funnel, downloaded a sequence of content that indicates they are ready to make a purchase, or have been qualified personally by someone in your team.
By targeting sales qualified leads rather than cold leads, you can save a huge amount of time and resources, leaving the sales team to concentrate on only the best leads.

Quint checks out Stephen King's newest Dark Tower novel THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE!
Published at: March 21, 2012, 2:57 p.m. CST by quint
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you've been reading AICN with any regularity you'll probably remember that I'm kind of obsessed with Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It started in middle school as I was plowing through all of King's books. The school library had the paperbacks of the first three Dark Tower novels (all that was released at that time) and I read them in a marathon.
The second book, The Drawing of the Three, in particular grabbed my imagination. It had the perfect mixture of science fiction, fantasy, pulpy crime stories and horror. There was also that feeling of electricity in the air. A storm was building. It took three books for Roland Deschain to gather his posse, his ka-tet, for the grander adventure through the horror show of a post-apocalyptic alternate universe towards his destiny: the Dark Tower, a structure that is lynchpin for all realities, including our own.
Through all seven books King has been able to work towards the moment that Roland sets eyes upon his White Whale while still giving each book its own tone and feeling. The Gunslinger is a western, The Drawing of the Three is a sci-fi fantasy, The Wastelands is a sci-fi adventure, Wizard and Glass is a tragic romance, The Wolves of the Calla a samurai tale, The Song of Susannah kind of a horror show in all possible readings of that phrase and The Dark Tower an oddly melancholy epic conclusion that fits every aspect of the previous books into one narrative.
If you've read the series you know that King announcing a new Dark Tower book is a bit of head-scratcher. The final Dark Tower book had a pretty definitive ending, afterall.
The Wind Through The Keyhole fits neatly between Wizard and Glass and The Wolves of the Calla, prompting some King fans to call it book 4.5 in the Dark Tower series.
I ordered the Grant Books limited Artist Edition of The Wind Through The Keyhole for a few reasons… the professional binding and slipcase are great, you get Jae Lee art that won't be in the trade edition, it's autographed by Lee and, most importantly, you get it a full two months before Scribner's trade hardcover. Which is why I have a review ready now even though the book doesn't come out until April 24th.
I remember the same thing happening with Grant's Wizard and Glass, which I did order and read, but back then it wasn't really a race. "I better read it early so I don't get spoiled!" didn't enter my mind. It wasn't until the last few years that I noticed I wasn't alone in my Dark Tower worship. As a kid, these were the King books people didn't know or give a shit about, even my grown up friends who read King didn't give these books much attention.
Now the fanbase has grown to quite an impressive level, with websites dedicated to the series and talkbacks full of educated opinions every time some iteration of a feature film version of The Dark Tower series rears its head and we post a story on it.
Grant Books' printing is spectacular, with a turtle shell-like hardcover pattern and high quality paper and binding. If you're a fan I highly recommend getting a jump on your friends by ordering the Limited Grant Edition which will run you $75.00 plus shipping, but for that money you get a quality level you won't get in the trade edition. And you'll likely get it pre-release, just like I did.
So the wrapping was nice and all, but what about the story? Did King slip effortlessly back into Mid-World? How does this book fit into the series as a whole? And what the hell is the wind going through that keyhole for? Doesn't it have anything better to do with its time?
King dedicates the book to Robin Furth and the team from Marvel, who have been working on adapting Wizard and Glass and have been telling some previously unknown stories of Young Roland after the tragedy at Mejis. Right off the bat that should tell you where this book fits.
It's like King was coming up with ideas for Marvel's books and then was hit with this one and just couldn't give it over to the comic guys.
The book starts with Roland, Jake, Susannah, Eddie and Oy on the road to Calla Bryn Sturges after the events of Wizard and Glass and I gotta tell you it was pretty emotional to slide back in with the group. I missed those guys and it was clear that King missed them too because their voices rang true. Eddie was his usual big hearted, smart-ass self, Jake and Oy the best "boy and his dog" pairing ever and the little glimpses of Odetta peeking through Susannah's more controlled personality had me clutching my sizable gut with laughter once again.
It was like a family reunion in a weird way and if I had any complaint about the book it's that we don't get another adventure with these guys. I just miss them and miss the energy of King's writing when he's working with them.
When the ka-tet gets trapped by a hellacious storm, Roland gathers them around and tells them another story of his youth. Narratively, this is an odd book because it's basically a guy telling a story about a younger version of himself telling a story. The Wind Through The Keyhole is a Gilead fairy tale that, of course, crosses over into the main story in The Dark Tower series.
Young Roland is sent to investigate the violent murders in the countryside. His father believes it to be the work of a "skin man," or shape-shifter as we'd call it. So, Roland and his buddy Jamie de Curry take off to investigate as Roland is in an emotionally delicate place after the events of Wizard and Glass.
The only witness that could solve the mystery of the identity of this shape-shifter is a scared young boy that resembles young Jake in personality and description, so this protective relationship seems to foreshadow Roland and Jake's in the books. Ka is a wheel, right?
In order to calm this boy down, Young Roland tells him this fairy tale and I'd say it comprises at least 75% of the book. The thing about this fairy tale, though, is it isn't just us reading this old timey text… this is Roland telling the story, so he tells it from his point of view, adding in little flourishes that could very well have been influenced by his adventure so far.
The Man In Black figures into the story, about a small child whose father is killed and he's put on the path through a deep dark forest in order to save his mother. There are dragons, enchantments, mutants, magic and all types of Mid-World iconography sprinkled throughout.
The Wind Through The Keyhole feels a lot like The Eyes of the Dragon, King's pure fantasy book with a lot of tangential Dark Tower connections, and it's a great note to strike. King is really good at fantasy and doesn't play in this universe a lot. While I would have loved to have a book that enlightened me a bit more about Roland as a character or given us another adventure with the ka-tet at their peak, I gotta say I was quite happy with this book.
There's an ease here that I haven't felt from King since The Wolves of the Calla. I've liked many of his novels since, including his more recent 11/22/63, but this one just feels like he's in his element, even more so than the last two Dark Tower books, which had some amazing things in them, but also felt a bit cluttered and jumbled. This is a quick story that touches on many of the elements that made me fall in love with King's Dark Tower series to begin with.
You have the close-knit family relationship with Roland, Susannah, Jake, Eddie and Oy, the horror story of Young Roland hunting down a shape-shifter that's tearing a small community apart (literally) and the Grimm's fairy tale of little Tim Stoutheart who ventures into the dangerous Ironwoods at the prodding of a familiar man in black with nothing but his dead father's hand-ax, a lantern and a child's determination to save his mother to see him through.
The Wind Through The Keyhole section is the most fleshed out and the most complete, with a solid pace and nice payoffs. The Skin Man section feels a little more rushed. King doesn't milk the mystery of the set-up as much as I was hoping he would. This could have been a great The Beast Must Die style reveal, but instead it feels like the conclusion happens too quickly and with little consequence. Adult Roland and his ka-tet really only serve as the book ends, but even our little time back with the group was enough to make me happy.
Jae Lee's art is beautiful and further strengthens my theory that this was almost a King-dictated story for the Marvel books that he decided to just write himself in novel form (since Lee does the art for the Dark Tower comics, ya' ken?). His black and white work, in particular, is striking. However, his color stuff… I don't know, it looks overly cartoonish to me. As much as I like Lee's work overall and dig the comics, he's never captured the Mid-World I imagine when reading.
I'm a fan of the Dark Tower art by Michael Whelan, Phil Hale, Ned Dameron and Bernie Wrightson. That, to me, is the world of The Dark Tower. Rough, but beautiful.
I felt content when I turned the last page of the book and had a strong compunction to pick up Wolves of the Calla and follow my ka-tet on their adventure. I'd love it if King would continue to fill in gaps of time in this story or tell parallel stories whenever the mood strikes him. Like I said above, he just feels at home in Mid-World. Damn near everything he has done and continues to do ties into this world in some small or large way, but there's nothing like a true-blue Dark Tower King story. I didn't realize how much I missed them until I was about 2 pages into The Wind Through the Keyhole.
Scribner's hardcover trade edition hits April 24th and will run you about $16, but if you're impatient and have a little extra dough to drop the Grant Books Limited Edition is a solid option. Those are shipping now.

Q: Irreducible components of hypersurface This is exercice 5.4 from Miles Reids Undergraduate Commutative Algebra.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. For $f \in k[x_1,...,x_n]$, write $V(f) \subset k^n$ for the hypersurface defined by $f=0$.
Using Hilberts Nullstellensatz, one can show that:
Claim: if $f$ is irreducible and $f$ does not divide $g$, then $V(f) \not\subset V(g)$ (see this post of mine).
From this result, I want to deduce the following.
If $g= $  cst $\cdot \, \,\Pi \, \,f_i^{n_i}$, then the irreducible components of $V(g)$ are of the form $V(f_i)$.
If I understand correctly, this follows from the counterpositive statement of the claim above.
Indeed, for any $f_i$, we have that $V(f_i) \subset V(g)$ and hence $f_i$ is either irreducible or $f_i$ divides $g$. If $f_i$ is irreducible, we are done. If not, we can reiterate the process until we get irreducibility.
Does this make sense?
Thank you for all your comments and remarks.

A: You can't just use the contrapositive of the quoted result, you need the if and only if form. I.e., that $f\mid g$ if and only if $V(f)\subseteq V(g)$.
Your proof is phrased rather weirdly, and I can't quite tell what you're saying. I thought that the $f_i$s were the irreducible factors of $g$, but then you conclude that $f_i$ is either irreducible or $f_i$ divides $g$, which makes no sense as a conclusion if the $f_i$s are irreducible factors, since we know both of those things about $f_i$ from the start.
The correct proof goes like this.
Let $g=c\prod_i f_i^{n_i}$ with the $f_i$s irreducible polynomials with $f_i$ not an associate of $f_j$ for $i\ne j$, and $c\in k$.
Then $f_i\mid g$, so $V(f_i)\subseteq V(g)$. Moreover, if $a\in k^n$ with $g(a)=0$, then $\prod_i f_i(a)=0$, so for some $i$, $f_i(a)=0$. Thus $a\in V(f_i)$ for some $i$. Thus $V(g)\subseteq \bigcup_i V(f_i)$. Thus we have that
$$ V(g) = \bigcup_i V(f_i).$$
It just remains to check that $V(f_i)$ is irreducible. Suppose not, then there are $g$ and $h$ such that $V(f)\subseteq V(gh)$, but $V(f)\not\subseteq V(g)$ and $V(f)\not\subseteq V(h)$. Using that $f\mid g$ if and only if $V(f)\subseteq V(g)$, this translates to the existence of $g$ and $h$ such that $f_i\mid gh$, but $f_i\nmid g$ and $f_i\nmid h$, which contradicts the irreducibility of $f_i$, since irreducibles are prime in $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$.

When was the last time you came out of a film wishing you could go back in and watch it again? It's not often that there happens a film like Amen. With top-notch visuals, magnificent narrative style, superb performances from the entire cast, this is a shockingly spectacular experience that takes you to an altogether different world.
The story is happening in a village called Kumarankary in the backdrop of a Christian church. The all-powerful vicar Fr. Ottaplackan (Joy Mathew) believes in an orthodox world and is generally against the emergence of new thoughts, just like most of his parishioners. Meanwhile, the altar helper of the church, Solomon (Fahadh Faasil) is in love with Sosanna (Swati Reddy), who hails from a wealthy household.
As the parish seriously discusses whether to retain the church's band that had lost to the rival group in the earlier band competition, a young priest Fr. Vincent Vattoli (Indrajit) takes charge under Fr.Ottaplackan. He is stylish, dares to defy conventions and is in support of the romance between Solomon and Sosanna. His actions irk the senior priest and things take a serious turn after a while.
You may like the theme here or not and there are chances that you may feel uncomfortable with the fart jokes and the use of some expletives. Also, the story tends to move along in a predictable way, especially towards the film's climax. But there is no way you can't be mesmerized by this visual spectacle. The sincerity of those who made this film is written in every frame.
Lijo Jose Pellissery, who made critically acclaimed films like Nayakan and City of God earlier, proves that he is one of the finest talents in business. The screenplay and top-notch dialogues by P S Rafeeque, based on the director's story is truly commendable. Abhinandan Ramanujam's outstanding cinematography is going to be discussed for a long time from now. Prasanth Pillai's music is impressive as well.
Amen boasts the best performance you will see by an ensemble cast in a long time, and that includes even the bit players. Among the actors, Indrajith is witty and genuine as the young priest, he gives evidence of his potential when trusted with well-written roles. Joy Mathew just shocks the viewer with his looks and style and Swati Reddy is bubbly and beautiful.
But then, all the actors regardless of the length of their roles, underlines their eminence with well-written characters. Kalabhavan Mani, Sunil Sukhada, Sasi Kalinga, Kulappulli Leela, Nandu, Sudheer Karmana, Anil Murali and Makrand Deshpande need special mentions.
But the story is about Solomon and with another spectacular performance; it is Fahadh Faasil who tells the world why he should find a place among the finest actors ever in Malayalam cinema. He is spontaneous, lovable and limits his presence to certain mannerisms. But this actor continues to surprise everyone with his versatility and terrific screen presence.
When most films move out of your mind minutes after you leave the theatres, Amen just grabs you in a fantastic way. It is has its flaws for sure, but just don't miss this gem. Two big thumbs up and a must watch recommendation for Amen!
Verdict: Brilliant

MOTHER'S DAY ~ A MIXED BLESSING?
Posted by Janet Grunst on May 6, 2014 in Blog, Commentary, Journal, Uncategorized | Comments Off on MOTHER'S DAY ~ A MIXED BLESSING?
It's safe to say we all had mothers, but Mother's Day can bring on a multitude of differing emotions, some painful some pleasant. The same is true for Father's Day and often for the same reasons, but since it's May, and for the purpose of this commentary we will focus on Mother's Day.
When our nation celebrates Mother's Day, one is bombarded for weeks ahead by merchant's pleas to purchase cards, gifts, and flowers for those special Mothers in our lives. On a walk through any card shop in early spring we will see Mother's Day cards honoring mothers, step-mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, mother's–in-law, daughters, nieces, and friends. What is lost in all the commercial promotions is that Mother's Day can also elicit emotions that no one wants to celebrate. Not everyone has had a positive experience with their own mother growing up, or as an adult. Some people find Mother's Day a time of great sadness because it is a painful reminder of the loss of a beloved parent. What about the woman who has longed to be a mother, but for whatever reason, she's never experienced that joy? That Sunday can pierce her heart annually. And for some of us who were mothers, or were about to be a mother, but lost that precious child, it can be an agonizing or a bittersweet day.
I was very blessed to have a terrific mother with whom I had a wonderful relationship. She died of an excruciatingly painful disease when I was thirty, and I will always feel her loss, and regret that my children never knew her. Providentially, when my father remarried, he gave me a stepmother whom I loved and enjoyed for many years. I've also been fortunate to have mother's-in-law whom I loved, respected, and felt fortunate to have in my life. There are also a few women in my life who have been mentors for me. In their own way, they have been like mothers. I am grateful to have had all of these ladies in my life and I learned much from each of them. Now, I have daughter's-in law and a stepdaughter, each a mother, doing a terrific job raising their children.
So this Mother's Day I give thanks to all the "Mothers" in my life and to my two sons who gave me the privilege of being a mother. I will also pray for a special blessing, and healing for those women who may find this holiday less than joyous.
What are your thoughts on Mother's Day?


I will be holding an introductory Sorcery class in the amphitheater on the evening of the 12th, at the 10th Late Bell.
This class is aimed primarily at those who have an interest in Sorcery and who are not yet Bound. Those who are Bound may attend and participate if they so wish.
The next class will be held at the same location, once more at the 10th late bell next Moon's day, the 19th.
As before, this class is for all those with an interest in joining the Sorcery Program, but Bound Sorcerers are welcome to attend and participate.
If there are any for whom the current date and time do not serve, please contact me directly with your current wakings bells. On week days, I cannot accommodate anything before the 9th late bell, but I have more flexibility on Saturn's day and Sun's day.
A reminder that this is tonight.
This is taking place tonight once more, in the same place and at the same time.
Please note, the class is postponed tonight. It will instead take place tomorrow, the 27th of the 2nd moon, at the 10th late bell in the usual place.
This is happening tonight at 10 late bells, in the usual place.

Steve Roberts JrStaff Writer
A York County man who allegedly walked into his neighbor's garage three nights in a row for a shot of rum each night faces as many as 44 years behind bars.
Nicholas Andrew Wildeson, 35, has been charged with two felony counts of entering a dwelling at night with intent to commit a larceny, one felony count of breaking and entering an occupied house to commit a certain misdemeanor crime and three misdemeanor counts of petit larceny, according to arrest warrants filed in York-Poquoson General District Court.
On Nov. 7, York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a home on Sheilds Lane in York County for a homeowner complaint, according to court documents.
When deputies arrived, the homeowner told the officers her next door neighbor had entered her garage the last three nights to steal her alcohol out of a refrigerator, court documents said.
Wildeson, the homeowner's neighbor, walked into the attached garage and poured himself a glass of Captain Morgan's rum before leaving, according to court documents.
When officers spoke to Wildeson, he admitted he walked into the garage and poured himself a shot of rum before leaving the last three nights, court documents said.
Wildeson drank with the homeowner's son and thought it wouldn't be a problem, according to court documents.
Wildeson was served arrest warrants on Wednesday and taken to the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail where he remained on Thursday, according to court and jail records.
On all the charges, Wildeson faces as many as 44 years in jail and a fine of no more than $210,000, according to the Virginia Code.

Innovative energy scheme set to receive £15 million of Government funding in Peterborough
Posted by Sebastian Conway-Jarrett | Jan 3, 2023 | Cambridgeshire, Development, Eastern Echo, Environment, Infrastructure, News, Peterborough, Plan, Technology | 0 |
An innovative infrastructure project to deliver low-carbon heat and electrical power for Peterborough businesses and public buildings has been approved by Government.
The PIRI (Peterborough Integrated Renewables Infrastructure) project is one of the first national schemes to receive support from the Green Heat Network Fund, which was announced on December 20.
Once complete, it will transport heat and electrical power from the council-owned Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Fengate (operated by Viridor) direct to the city buildings via a series of underground pipes and cables.
The ERF generates its own energy by taking non-recyclable household waste that would otherwise go into landfill and using a combustion process turns it into heat and electricity.
PIRI will be delivered in two phases – phase one will create the underground pipework and cables needed to deliver heat and power and phase two will deliver heat to the buildings concerned.
The buildings were chosen as they are large energy consumers with the anticipation that when complete the project will reduce the carbon consumption of these buildings by as much as 92 per cent.
A total of £14.5 million of funding has been given to the scheme by the Government. Of this, just over £900,000 will pay for further project work to prove the effectiveness of the scheme in order to secure inward investment. A further £13.5 million has been pledged to help pay for the construction costs.
It is expected that the total construction costs for the project will be around £53 million with the remaining money expected to come from inward investment.
Once complete, there is potential for expansion to other businesses and eventually homes across Peterborough.
Elliot Smith, commercial manager at Peterborough City Council, said: "This is an innovative project which could deliver huge carbon savings, helping Peterborough to become a carbon-zero city. There's still a long way to go until its completion, but the concept has been proven as effective and it takes only a little imagination to see that in the future it could be scaled up to provide heat to many more businesses, public buildings and homes across the entire city."
Councillor Wayne Fitzgerald, leader of Peterborough City Council, said: "Peterborough is ready for a project of this size and thanks to this Government funding we will be well on the way to becoming one of the first carbon-zero cities of the future. It is yet another significant indicator of the confidence that the Government has in our city's growth and its importance on the national stage."
Ken Hunnisett from Triple Point Heat Networks Investment Management said: "It's a joy to reflect that the first awards from this exciting new fund are being made to progressive city councils at the start of their own respective journeys to the city-wide decarbonisation of their heating infrastructure.
"It will be a real pleasure to work with the team at Peterborough to see how these networks commercialise and develop through the life of the Green Heat Network Fund"
Dr Nik Johnson, mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, said: "This is a hugely exciting project for Peterborough with the capabilities to greatly reduce carbon consumption and make huge steps towards Peterborough City becoming net zero by 2030. In line with recommendations from the Independent Commission on Climate, to effectively manage climate risk for our communities and adapt to climate change, mitigation and adaptation must go hand in hand. One is cutting carbon emissions to reduce the long-term impacts of climate change and the other is ensuring our communities are resilient to the climate impacts we are currently experiencing.
"Our Climate Action Plan for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough highlighted the need for increased climate infrastructure to ensure our energy systems generate and deliver renewable energy, and the innovative PIRI project will do just that, removing waste from landfill whilst simultaneously reducing carbon emissions and providing cleaner air for residents."

Q: What is the length of the cosyzygy funtor? Let A be a Nakayama algbebra and M and N uniserial A-modules with $l(M)\geq l(N)$. I want to prove that then $l(\Omega^{-1}(M))\leq l(\Omega^{-1}(N))$ with $\Omega^{-1}$ the cosyzygy functor.
In Auslander's "Representation theory of Artin algebras" this is used in the proof of Theorem 3.8 in Chapter X (p.358).
