The surfaces to be coated must first be sanded or planed, so that the product adheres well to the base, and the bindings and ties must be firmly glued in place. Coating is carried out either manually or using a high-pressure spray-gun. Basket willow switches are harvested in autumn and winter, when the plants have shed their leaves. Harvested switches are traditionally stored in pools of water until they start to put out shoots in the spring; then the bark is stripped by hand with knives.
Willow Smith - Everything Stays
There are many obstacles to the development of basket willow production and the expansion of small-scale industries for manufacturing basket willow products — not only the lack of technical and scientific expertise, but also the lack of proper organization and the management problems of the Chimbarongo artisanal sector. It was popularly held that the basket willow grown in Chimbarongo belonged to various species, which explained differences in the quality of the raw material.
Secrets of a Kept Woman?
Never Love a Lord (Foxe Sisters);
Thus people spoke about yellow or good basket willow and green or bad basket willow. However, electrophoresis and molecular analysis of material collected from different crops and sites showed that all the basket willow grown in Chimbarongo belonged to the same species Salix viminalis , indeed the same clone, which had been widely propagated in the area because of its ease of vegetative propagation. The difference in quality was explained by characteristics of the site such as soil fertility, irrigation and drainage.
The artisans — and the general population — held that basket willow could be grown only in Chimbarongo, and also that the best species for use in manufacturing products was the one that grew there Salix viminalis. Eight trials set up in the north, centre and south of the country using various species of Salix showed that basket willow can be grown in other parts of the country besides Chimbarongo as long as appropriate sites are chosen — i. However, Chimbarongo did indeed prove to be the best zone for growing basket willow and also certain other species of willow as shown by higher harvest yields, measured in dry tonnes per hectare.
Willows Course Tee Times – Surrey Golf Club
The Chimbarongo artisans shared an ingrained belief that it takes many years to train an artisan and that only men have the necessary skill and dexterity to learn the craft. This belief was preventing the involvement of women and the extension of skills to other parts of the country. The strong hold of this myth among the Chimbarongo artisans governed their working conditions, as well as prices, delivery times, working hours and types of product, thus preventing the implementation of projects put forward by businesses that were attracted by the unique qualities of basket willow and came to settle in Chimbarongo.
Transfer of skills was needed to stimulate competition and to generate new opportunities for rural populations in other places where basket willow cultivation had proved successful. The project therefore sponsored courses in the rural areas where basket willow trials had been set up, and about people from those areas were trained in basket willow manufacturing techniques. The learning period turned out to be short two or three months ; people obtained further experience on the job and were thus able to improve the quality of their output.
The results showed that women had considerable capacity for working in basket willow, an activity that is also viewed positively because it allows them to generate income while still caring for their home and children. In due course female artisans formed organized groups, for whom workshops on the production and marketing of their output were then held with the support of the local government. In the late s, as a result of the stagnation of the basket willow sector in Chimbarongo, products — mainly basketwork — were being sold on the domestic market at very low prices, leading to a belief that basket willow was little appreciated in the country.
Other rooms, such as the bedroom and kitchen, contained tables, shelves, trunks and smaller items such as hampers and trays of basket willow. However, consumers were dissatisfied with quality, uninspiring designs and substandard finishing.
Egrets Run Wild In Willows
At the same time, market surveys carried out in Europe and Central America revealed considerable interest in Chilean basket willow products, especially furniture. However, if the demand was to be met, the quality needed to be improved and quantities needed to be increased to balance the high transport costs.
These findings indicated the need to attract investments and to develop production in such a way as to combine artisanal work with the tools of business management.
As a result of these findings, the project initiated work to improve the manufacturing processes used for basket willow products, particularly furniture. It promoted the use of screws instead of the traditional nails, as well as the use of iron in the structure and the improvement of joints, assembly and finishing. The development of new designs was also promoted. Courses and technical assistance were provided regarding quality control.
A technological tour was organized for a group of artisans, giving them an opportunity to visit rattan furniture production centres in Asia and major showrooms and trade fairs in Europe and Central America, so that they could see for themselves the production systems adopted, the quality of the products, and current fashions and trends. The designs were later shown at the first basket-willow furniture fair. TABLE 1. Required dimensions of basket willow switches according to Standard Varilla switch.

Below you will see samples of law enforcement & firefighter badge jewelry that we've created for the great state of Missouri since 1984. If you don't see your department, you can upload a photo of your badge using the Schedule Consultation button below.
Did you know that the Missouri state seal was designed by Judge Robert William Wells and adopted in 1822? Since then it has gone through minor revisions. The seal is comprised of two bears on each side of the center piece with a crescent moon, grizzly bear and eagle with the words circled around "United We Stand Divided We Fall". In 1931, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was established and since has evolved into a leading police agency. The seal of the state of Missouri has many intricate designs within each badge and departments. We can personalize your law enforcement & firefighter badge jewelry by adding a gemstone in place of the state seal.


This is where I am going to ignore the fact that it's been a month since we got back from India. Because I am still working on my posts about that trip. You know how that goes when you don't have time to even get the camera out and gather the photos.
Butttttt, I've been working on this post for a while, if not by actually writing it, then by composing it mentally. One of my plans for the trip even before leaving was to visit a certain bookstore when we were in the husband's town and grab books written by Indian authors. I had been to that store (DC books) four years ago and had a vague memory of seeing many shelves of such books. However, when we went this time, we didn't see as many books by Indian authors as I had imagined there would be. That was a bummer but we still got some good books there.
A week later, we were in Chennai when we decided to go to another bookstore (Starmark) at a mall. This wasn't in the plans so I am glad this happened because this is where I bought the bulk of my books. The book selection here was great even in the kids section - I just did not get as many kiddie Indian books as I wanted to. I think, truthfully, I didn't really have an idea about what I was looking for so that made the hunting much harder.
I counted 13 books in total, plus 6 picture books for the kid. Of these, 11 are books I bought and 2 (Aarushi and Best Indian Short Stories) are books gifted by a childhood friend of mine, who I was meeting after a decade (more about this in my next post about the trip).
Sleeping on Jupiter by Anuradha Roy: this one was in the news recently after being nominated for the Man Booker Prize. It was bumped up on my TBR when Dolce Bellezza reviewed it here.
The Smoke is Rising by Mahesh Rao: Rao's One Point Two Billion is probably the more popular book right now (plus the cover of that book is one of the best ever!) but I liked the sound of this book more. Maybe I will find a way to get hold of One Point Two Billion some other day.
Chemmeen by T. S. Pillai: Chemmeen is one of the most famous movies to come out of Kerala. I could never make myself watch the movie - growing up, I have seen too many people cry at the ending. I guess I am now old enough to acquaint myself with the story. No? Let me start with the book.
Mrs. Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna: I had heard of Twinkle Khanna as an actress, not a writer. I don't think her acting career is going right now, if at all anywhere, but she does have several fans as a writer.
Aarushi by Avirook Sen: This narrative about the true life murder of a teenage girl and her family's servant only recently came to my spotlight. I did watch the movie about the murders and although it looks like the murders are still mostly unresolved, I am looking forward to reading about it.
Shikhandi by Devdutt Pattanaik: This book has been on my TBR for a long time, ever since it was released. It's also top of my list right now to read so hopefully, I will get to it sooner than later.
Honour by Elif Shafak: This is the lone book in this list NOT by an Indian author. Shafak has long been an author I want to read so I'm excited about this one.
Have you read any of these titles? These books have been sitting by my shelves for the better part of a month and I have managed to not pick any to read until I got this post out and cataloged these titles on my spreadsheet.


A fascinating casebook of true stories from the self-styled "Card Detective" that reveals the inner workings of backroom poker cheats, dice scams, bunco artists, horse race swindles, rigged games of the carnival and midway and much, much more.
Written in a breezy style, "Mickey" MacDougall takes the reader along for an entertaining and informative ride as he consults with casino bosses and card room owners to stamp out cheaters and grifters.
Swindlers take many forms and purvey their trade anywhere people gather: aboard trains and cruise ships, at the racetrack, in back alleys, military barracks, hotels, night clubs and even in private homes.
Learn the various swindles and cheats and how to protect yourself. Don't get taken, unlike the victims in the book.

Opening weekend at 2nd Space: 'Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure'
By Donald Munro
Good Company Players
After the holidays, do you feel like you're on digital overload? Does the thought of one more bout of Netflix or overhyped college football game on TV make your hands clammy? Perhaps a restorative dose of live theater is what you need.
Good Company Players presents a lively updating of the world's most famous detective with "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure." This reinterpretation of the 1899 play by William Gillette and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was written by Steven Dietz. In it, Holmes depicts the famous detective taking on one last case just as he is about to retire.
Johnna Leary has a recap of the plot in DC Metro Theatre Arts:
The King of Bohemia is being blackmailed, and the world famous opera singer Irene Adler is mixed up in the heart of the crime. Joined by his faithful companion, Watson, Sherlock Holmes sets out to solve one last mystery which leads him straight into danger at the hands of his arch enemy.
The GCP production opens Friday, Jan. 3, at the 2nd Space Theatre and runs through Feb. 23. The cast includes such usual suspects as Gordon Moore and Henry Montelongo, both pictured above.

Skandinavische Filmtage Bonn Designed by Smartcat


The ASI Model 600 is specially engineered to withstand greater radial and axial movement common to larger equipment such as slurry pumps, mixers and agitators. The 600's seal components are designed to work in unison, preventing under-compression or over-compression of the seal faces.
Unison Component Design- One set of springs, independent of the seal gland plate, energizes both stationary faces. Anti-rotation devices are positioned to give seal components maximum movement. This allows the seal to move freely with the pump shaft without increasing or decreasing the mechanical seal load on the inboard or outboard seal faces.
Greater Radial Clearances- The Model 600's design incorporates greater radial clearances between individual seal components, enabling the seal to compensate for increased shaft whip or radial thrust.
Larger Springs- The Model 600's longer, stronger springs have less tendency to clog, as well as greater resistance to fatigue. Springs are strategically secured so that if one set of seal faces should fail, spring tension remains on the other set of faces, ensuring the integrity of the seal.

Running the 35-Mile Two Oceans: Distance Running South African-Style
May 5, 2016 10:42pm
by Nick Mead, The Guardian, May 6, 2016
"You're running the Two Oceans? That's 35 miles isn't it? Lekker. What are you training for? Comrades?"
I forget how many times I had that conversation in the run-up to the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town last month – but it happened a lot more than you'd imagine if, like me, you come from a country where completing a regular marathon is seen by most as an end in itself.
This is South Africa, though, a sport-obsessed country, where ultra marathons such as the Two Oceans and Comrades – 56 miles between the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban – attract huge crowds of spectators and the kind of mass participation usually reserved for big-city marathons.
In fact, the Two Oceans was originally conceived in 1970 as a 35-mile training run for the Comrades by founder Dave Venter – but, with a route around the Cape peninsula taking in both the Indian* and Atlantic oceans (hence the name), as well as two big climbs up Chapman's Peak and Constantia Nek, it's a worthy event in its own right.
I love an arbitrary target as much as the next runner, but I hadn't even known sub-5 was a thing until the day before
Before the race, I spoke to Louis Massyn. as he prepared for his 44th consecutive Two Oceans (and his 41st attempt at finishing both the Two Oceans and the Comrades in the same year – a record). The 65-year-old medical rep says the massive growth in the scale of the race has been the main change he has witnessed. In the first year, only 26 runners took part – and only 15 finished, but all of them in under four hours, which is speedy for a 35-mile course with 1,560 feet of ascent. This year, 11,000 people took part in the ultra, with 16,000 in the half marathon and a further 3,000 in the trail run, friendship run or fun runs – what the organisers bill as an Easter weekend "festival of running".

It was still dark as I squeezed into the pen ahead of the 6.30am start, just as the thousands of other runners packed shoulder to shoulder launched into a powerful rendition of the South African national anthem. I may have even heard the odd vuvuzela – bringing back unwelcome memories of England's ignominious departure in the first knock-out round of the 2010 World Cup.
Massyn's first piece of advice was to be careful on the first flat 19 miles to Noordhoek and the start of the first climb. But as soon as the gun went, that advice was forgotten, as I got swept along on the surge.
Before the race I had had no real target time in mind. The Two Oceans is like a regular marathon – but with nine miles of hills tagged on the end – so I didn't have any similar events to judge it against. It was only when I went to the expo to pick up my number that I realised finishers were awarded different medals for different times: gold for the first 10 men and women; silver for sub-4 hours; a colourful Sainsbury medal (named after Mr Two Oceans Chet Sainsbury, who died earlier this year) for sub-5; bronze for sub-6 and blue for sub-7. There's a strict cut-off after seven hours, and if you're not on schedule at certain points in the run, then it's race over.
By the halfway point I found myself travelling in the sub-5 "bus" and decided to sacrifice peace and quiet for the simplicity of following in the footsteps of a pacer and a big group of runners. I stuck with them for the next few miles and up Chapman's Peak, which must be among the most spectacular stretches of tarmac in the world. Once we reached the top, though, I decided to take Louis's second piece of advice and hop off to soak up the sheer cliffs and the Atlantic sparkling far below. I love an arbitrary target as much as the next runner, but I hadn't even known sub-5 was a thing until a day before.

Maybe I was just making excuses, but taking those extra few moments at key points to drink in the views and chat to runners around me really made the rest of the race more memorable. Support along the route was fantastic and the big turnout of spectators and musicians gave Two Oceans that big-city marathon feel.
I finished in five hours, three minutes, so just a plain old bronze medal, but it's destined for the spare-room drawer with all the other finisher medals anyway. The memories of supporters and stunning views were much more special.
*Technically, the Indian Ocean begins somewhere between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas, 60 miles to the south east but we'll gloss over that …

Only preservative-free eye drops can alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes without damaging the eyes.
The symptoms of dry eyes can be quickly and easily relieved with lubricating eye drops. Preservatives in the preparations can, however, damage the eyes. That is why only preservative-free eye drops should be used.
What are preservatives in eye drops good for?
Preserving agents in eye drops are supposed to prevent germs from getting into the eye. Bacteria or fungi can quickly settle and reproduce in many eye drop bottles without a sterile closure. With drops, they then get into the eyes and can cause infections there.
Preserving agents should impede germs from growing. However, tests have shown that the preservatives do not offer comprehensive protection from germs. In a third of the eye drops tested, bacteria were detected in the bottles after 15 days – and that despite the addition of preserving agents. Therefore, the real benefit of preserving agents is questionable. In addition, these additives are not always well tolerated1.
Which preservatives are there in eye drops?
Above all, the preserving agent benzalkonium chloride comes under fire. The substance, which is also used in disinfectants, damages the delicate cornea and changes the composition of the tear film. The condition of dry eyes worsens as a result.
Eye drops with benzalkonium chloride can cause more harm than good if used over prolonged periods. In addition, benzalkonium chloride can cause allergies. Particularly someone who uses eye drops every day should definitely therefore turn to a preparation without preservatives.
Alongside benzalkonium chloride, there are other preserving agents with which eye drops are preserved. These include, for example, Polyquad®, PURITE® or the oxychloro complex. These agents are only slightly more tolerable than benzalkonium chloride. They, too, can irritate the eyes and give rise to allergies.
In daylight, PURITE® disintegrates into harmless ions and oxygen. It is, however, questionable how quickly that happens and whether PURITE® is therefore less harmful to cells than other preserving agents. Trials on living tissue have shown detrimental effects2.
The best alternatives for dry eyes for long-term users and contact lens wearers are eye drops without preservatives. The innovative multi-dose bottles from Ursapharm make preservative-free sterility possible; the products are fitted with the unique COMOD® system. Thanks to a refined airflow and a special pump, the system prevents the eye drop solution from coming into contact at any time with the surrounding air. Bacteria and fungal spores can therefore not gain access to the inside of the bottle and contamination is eliminated. Thanks to the COMOD® system the eye drops can be used for six months after opening.

A recent Meet Up called "Mixed Reality in STEAM Education" had Fab Lab Connect co-founder running a workshop with the teachers of Brooklyn's St. Joseph High School. Nader Shaterian introduced the brand new School Fab Lab Augmented Reality (AR) app to educators.
The workshop was aimed at school administrators and teachers who want to transform their classroom into a Digital Fabrication Lab using cutting-edge technology, a way to empower students with 21st century job skills. This Meet Up on May 17 included pointers on how to use mixed reality in STEAM education and immersive project-based learning, to build a Fab Lab Makerspace at schools.
For educators and makerspace enthusiasts, the School Fab Lab Augmented Reality (AR) app is a tool which can help design a new makerspace and visualize the machines. The app illustrates how 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, Vinyl Cutters, and CNC Milling Machines work and fabricate various objects. This helps educators inspire students to become innovators and makers.
The School Fab Lab Augmented Reality (AR) app is available on the Apple store.

I've seen this form called "Thomas Jefferson" type (he was apparently fond of using such things). It is spring loaded with a trigger. Beautiful original tiger maple case. Pound for pound this is the finest example we've ever seen.


So, to honor this lost soul, we've made her into a beer.
Our Barrel Aged Series has done rather well lately. The Keel and The Scupper both scored in the mid-90s at BeerConnoisseur.com, and fans have been raving about The Skeg and The Topsail.
The concept for the Barrel Aged Series has never been a one-and-done kind of idea — that would make it a pretty lame "series"! Head Brewer Brian Hink with the help of Director of Brewing Operations Jimmy Valm designed the first four that we brought out last year.
The theme of last year's series was nautically-based. This time around, we've taken a bit of a different tack.
Per square foot, Cape May is probably the most haunted place on the planet. We have no data backing up that assertion, of course, but things can get a little creepy at times around town. There've been at least five books written about the ghosts of Cape May, MAC runs at least seven ghost tours, and Syfy's Ghost Hunters did an episode here, Over 300 years of history combined with gorgeous Victorian architecture practically necessitates ghosts.
That's why, this time around, the Barrel Aged Series has taken on a distinctly spooky theme.
The room was completely closed, she was alone, and the bathroom door slammed shut of its own volition.
"Do you see her there?" she asks her oblivious husband.
He slowly shakes his head no.
"She's right there," she says, pointing to a chair by the window, indicating the elegant woman in her long, green dress, hair twisted into a lavish Victorian knot.
"Honey, there's no one there," he responds.
It's bright and cheery, but not without the Victorian excess that befits its name. The Queen Victoria® — the crown jewel of Cape May's bed and breakfasts — is home to its very own Brothel Madam, as well as Doug and Anne Marie McMain.
We sat down with Doug and Anne Marie, relaxing in the sitting room of the House of Royals — a former brothel and gaming parlor — while strains of Mozart and Wagner play in the background.

Illinois Industrial Commission Utilized Last Day Of Work As Accident Date In Repetitive Trauma Claim Even Though Condition Manifested Itself At An Earlier Date Where Claimant Continued To Work Faithf
The Commission awarded benefits for claimant's repetitive trauma knee injury based on a last-day-worked accident date, despite the fact that the condition manifested itself at an earlier date. An employee who discovers the onset of symptoms and their relationship to the employment but continues to work faithfully for several years without significant medical complications or lost working time, "may well be prejudiced if the actual breakdown pf the physical structure occurs beyond the period set by the statute."
Since 1997, claimant was in charge of maintenance for defendant, an agricultural business selling fertilizers, fuel, seed and erecting and maintaining grain bins in the fall of every year from July to December. This work required claimant to kneel on perforated steel floors four to six hours per day. He testified that in 1995, while working on grain bins, he noticed swelling in his right knee and pain in hi knee joint. He also noticed that his right knee hurt when walking or climbing stairs. In September 1995, he sought treatment but continued to work without restrictions until the day before surgery on December 28, 1995. He alleged the last day of work-December 28, 1995,- as the accident date on his Application for Adjustment of Claim.
In awarding benefits, the arbitrator rejected defendant's argument that the condition manifested itself prior to the alleged accident date and the filing of the application. The arbitrator noted that claimant indeed admitted that he knew prior to December 28, 1995, that his right knee condition was caused by his work activity repairing grains bins. The arbitrator further noted that claimant chose not to have surgery until after his seasonal work on the grain bins had been completed. The arbitrator explained that the general rule was that the date of accident in a claim alleging repetitive trauma was the date on which the condition manifested itself. The WCA, however, is not always so narrowly applied and exceptions to this general ruled to do exist. The arbitrator explained that under certain circumstances, the last day of work may be used as the accident date in repetitive trauma claims even though the condition "manifested itself" at an earlier date. This was especially true where the employee continues to work faithfully beyond the limitations period set forth in the WCA. The arbitrator found that such circumstances existed here.
The Commission affirmed, relying on the Illinois Supreme Court case of Oscar Mayer v. Industrial Commission for the proposition that the phrase "fact of the injury" was not synonymous with "fact of discovery." The Commission further relied on Oscar Mayer by explaining that an employee who discovers the onset of symptoms and their relationship to the employment but continues to work faithfully for several years without significant medical complications or lost working time, "may well be prejudiced if the actual breakdown of the physical structure occurs beyond the period set by the statute."
The Illinois industrial commission majority awarded wage differential award, reasoning that claimant should not be penalized for moving from Chicago to rural location with less job opportunities
A majority of the Commission held that claimant was entitled to wage differential benefits pursuant to section 8(d)1 of the Workers' Compensation Act, even though claimant moved from Chicago to a rural area with less job opportunities. Claimant moved out of state in order to sustain himself and his family.
Claimant, journeyman tuckpointer, injured his back while assisting a co-worker in moving a hanging platform. He was diagnosed with a persistent severe left sciatica. Following treatment, he was assigned by defendant's carrier to a medical case manager and vocational rehabilitation representative but was not provided with any job leads or interviews. He testified that he looked for work on his own, making 15 to 20 contact per weeks. He even attempted to return to tuckpointing work as foreman but could not continue due to back pain. He eventually secured light-duty employment at the rate of $7.00 per hour. However, he had to quit his job because he and his family were "nearly homeless." He testified that the people that he and his wife and children were living with sold their house and he could not afford to remain in the Chicago area. Therefore, claimant and his family went to northern Wisconsin and move din with his family. After moving to northern Wisconsin, claimant continued to seek light work but did not find any regular employment. He stated that he maintained his family after moving by doing odd jobs for the elderly such as cleaning garages and painting residences. Claimant continued a formal job search through a Wisconsin state agency. He made ten contacts a week. However, there was not much work available in the area where he resided and he had no special training in any trade other than tuckpointing.
The arbitrator awarded temporary total disability for 138-6/7 weeks and $453 per week for life in wage differential benefits pursuant to section 8(d)1 of the WCA.
A majority of the Commission held that claimant submitted sufficient evidence to prove his entitlement to wage differential benefits. The majority relied on expert testimony along with the results of a valid functional capacity evaluation indicating his inability to return to tuckpointing. Despite this inability, claimant attempted to resume tuckpointing. Also, the majority found that claimant demonstrated that he conducted a thorough job search and that defendant's two rehabilitation companies failed to offer him any assistance with this search. With regard to claimant's move to Wisconsin, the majority determined that claimant should not be penalized for moving out of state in order to sustain himself and his family. Also, the majority determined that the $7.00 per hour job he quit prior to moving to Wisconsin was the best indicator of his earning capacity, given his permanent restrictions and limited education.
The dissent argued that claimant was not entitled to benefits pursuant to section 8(d) 1, reasoning that claimant removed himself from the Chicago labor market. The dissent explained that there were numerous jobs in Chicago but very few in rural northern Wisconsin. Further, the dissent found no support for the finding of partial incapacity given the absence of significant medical findings regarding treatment. The dissent noted that a myelogram and CT scan were negative for any serious or permanent injury, there were only subjective complaints of back pain and claimant was not under any medical care or undergoing treatment. The dissent replied on Durfee v. Industrial Commission, in which the appellate court denied section 8(d)1 benefits to the claimant, who had elected to pursue a different life style. Because the Durfee claimant "self-limited" his employment, the court held he could not obtain the award at the employer's expense. The Commission found that in the instant case, claimant, too, had chosen a different life style, one which self-limited his wage opportunities.
Illinois industrial commission awarded benefits to teacher who fell in school hallway while walking to union meeting
The Commission held that claimant's injures, sustained while walking to a union meeting, occurred in the course of employment, where the accident happened during working hours as a place were claimant would reasonably be int her performance of her duties and while engaged in something incidental to her employment. Also, the accident arose out of her employment, for the meeting was both a benefit to defendant and incidental to claimant's employment, and the general public would not have had occasion to encounter the defect which caused claimant to fall.
Claimant, a teacher, for defendant-school district, was walking to a union meeting during working hours when she tripped on a wrestling mat left in the school hallway. She suffered a large tear of the rotator cuff along with severe capsulitis. A memorandum regarding the meeting was distributed to all teachers in their mailboxes. Those teachers who chose not to attend the meeting had to remain in their classrooms and work. A high percentage of teachers attended the meeting. Pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement between defendant and its employees, the union was permitted two general meetings per school year to begin at 3:00 p.m. with employees being released at 2:50 p.m. A union representative testified that the meetings were important to foster communication between defendant and its employees. He noted the importance of this meeting to both the union membership and the school district because of a recent acrimonious strike. Problems between defendant and the employees were discussed at the meetings were often resolved.
The arbitrator awarded benefits, finding that claimant's injuries arose out of and in the course of employment. The arbitrator explained that claimant was attending a sanctioned meeting of the teacher's union during working hours. The meeting was vital to both defendant and its employees. The arbitrator noted that the meeting was on the premises of defendant and claimant fell because of a defect on the premises. The arbitrator found it foreseeable claimant was walking. It was unique to the setting where claimant fell.
Therefore, the injury occurred "in the course of" claimant's employment because it happened during working hours at a place where claimant would reasonably be in the performance of her duties and while claimant was engaged in something incidental to her employment.
Further, the arbitrator explained that because the injury was a condition related to defendant's premises or the work environment, claimant's injury arose out of her employment. The arbitrator explained that defendant permitted claimant use of its facilities for an activity that was both a benefit to defendant and incidental to her employment with defendant. The general public was not invited to the meeting, and the public would not have had occasion to encounter the defect which caused claimant to fall.
Upon review, the Commission affirmed and adopted the decision of the arbitrator.

Turkish diplomat gunned down in Iraq's Arbil
Arbil
At least one gunman killed the Turkish vice-consul to Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region in an attack on Wednesday in the regional capital of Arbil, a police source told AFP.
"Three people, including the Turkish vice consul, were killed in an armed attack targeting the consul and the consulate's employees in a restaurant in Arbil," the source said, adding the attackers had fled the scene.
Witnesses in the city said checkpoints had been quickly set up inside and around the neighbourhood of Ainkawa, which hosts numerous restaurants and the Turkish consulate.
Turkey confirmed that an "employee" at its Arbil consulate was killed in a shooting.
The attack was not immediately claimed.
Turkey is waging a major military offensive in Iraq's mountainous northern region to root out pockets of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The PKK, seen as a "terrorist" group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, has waged an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984 and operates rear bases in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region.
Several rocket attacks have targeted diplomatic missions in Iraq in recent months, including rockets near the US and the UK embassies in Baghdad's "Green Zone."–AFP

Investing in Mary Jane
By Malcolm Berko
Dear Mr. Berko: Three other people and I own a small company. We've been in business together for 14 years. We have a large 401(k) plan, in which we equally share, and I've been managing it since we took it over from an adviser in 2011. And it has done very well since. I decided to invest $60,000 in several marijuana-related stocks and told my partners. They strongly objected, saying it was too risky because marijuana is illegal and there's a negative social stigma attached to it. It's caused friction because I'd never been questioned on portfolio selections before. Do you have any comments or thoughts before I look for an alternative investment? And please tell me about some good pot-related stocks, in case I decide to personally own some. Why won't Congress legalize pot? — PC, Detroit
Dear PC: Wouldn't it be nice if all of you could just get a bong?
Howbeit, I understand how your partners feel. And after 14 years of working together and building a successful business, it's not worth risking a falling-out. Still, the marijuana movement has been unstoppable. Canada recently became the second country to legalize possession and recreational use. The U.S. has also witnessed a steady progression toward legality, and it's estimated that federal approval would generate $100 billion in tax revenue by 2022 and create over 1 million jobs. So far, 10 states and the District of Columbia have approved the recreational use of marijuana, and most allow pot to be used for medicinal purposes, even though the feds still classify it as an illegal Schedule I drug. A recent Gallup Poll survey found that 64 percent of Americans approve of the legalization of recreational marijuana, and 94 percent say it should be used medicinally. But be wise. Forget about stocking pot in your 401(k).
The most consequential reason Congress won't legalize pot is money. Sundry federal agencies would be forced to dismiss a large number of wage earners employed to arrest and detain pot users, suppliers and growers. Furthermore, courts across the nation are overloaded with pot cases, which consume an average of 50 percent of criminal courts' daily proceedings. Legalizing pot would force many lawyers, judges and court employees to stand in unemployment lines and look for productive jobs. It would also reduce our prison population by at least 30 percent. Imagine how that would impact the thousands of small businesses across the nation whose revenues from food, toiletries, office supplies, tobacco, etc., are sustained by local prisons. Then imagine how many prison employees, most with zero skills, would lose their paychecks. And legalizing pot would also reduce the ranks of most local police forces. Pot is a hugely profitable enterprise for law enforcement, and enforcing anti-pot laws hurts the earnings of too many families for Congress to make it illegal.
I can't shake a stick at all the worthless pot stocks because there are so many, and there are almost as many sweet-talking stockbrokers who want to sell them to you. Some well-known pot stocks to consider are Tilray (TLRY-$114), GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH-$123), Cronos Group (CRON-$8.50) and Canopy Growth (CGC-$32). I know little about these issues, but I know they are enormously volatile. In the past dozen months, TLRY has traded between $20 and $300 a share, while CGC has traded between $17 and $60. That's scary stuff. So is it any wonder that your partners are pot stock-shy?
If you choose to buy a pot stock on your own, consider the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ-$29), a non-leveraged exchange-traded fund that owns 45 different pot stocks. It came public in December 2015 at $24. A month later, it had fallen to $21. Then it rose to $45 this past September. MJ's $600 million portfolio owns all of the above issues. It has 18 million shares outstanding and trades about 500,000 shares daily. Its portfolio turnover averages 44 percent, and it has a low 0.75 percent expense ratio.
You might propose Constellation Brands (STZ-$196), a pale-blue chip $8 billion beer, wine and spirits company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, to your partners. STZ took a $4 billion position in CGC earlier this year and hopes to offer cannabis-based drinks in the near future. Hmm.

Killer meth driver sentenced over horror Christmas crash
Makayla and Karin Tritton were killed in the crash on Manly Rd on Christmas Day in 2017. Living&Loving Photography
by Chris Clarke
A MAN who killed a mother and her daughter in a Christmas Day head-on collision while high on ice has been sentenced to a maximum of seven years in jail.
Mark Jason Veneris, 48, from Capalaba, pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm, and other drug and alcohol related charges.
He drove his BMW dangerously after smoking the drug ice and colliding head-on with another vehicle at Manly West just after 11am on Christmas Day in 2017.
The crash killed 18-year-old Makayla Tritton and her mother Karin, 56, who were on their way to Christmas lunch with family.
In sentencing Veneris, Justice Paul Smith spoke of the gravity of Veneris' crimes.
"This is a very serious matter with catastrophic consequences," Justice Smith said.

After the crash, witnesses saw an ice pipe on Veneris' front passenger seat that was still emitting smoke and was hot to touch.
Makayla died at the scene, while Karin died some hours later in hospital.
Outside court, family friend Catherine King said Christmas Day would never be the same.
"This has been a tragic experience," she said.
"We were hoping for more (years in jail).
"Christmas Day is supposed to be a day of celebrating with family and friends.
"They were beautiful, beautiful people. Makayla had an infectious smile."
He was sentenced to seven years for dangerous driving, along with six months for drug and alcohol related charges.
The terms will be served at the same time.
Veneris has already served 18 months in custody.

Q: Move resources/volumes across contexts in Kubernetes clusters I have a kubernetss cluster which i have started with a context "dev1.k8s.local" and it has a stateful set with EBS -PV(Persistent volumes)
now we are planning to start another context "dev2.k8s.local"
is there a way i can move dev1 context EBS volumes to context "dev2.k8s.local"
i am using K8S 1.10 & KOPS 1.10 Version

A: A Context is simply a representation of a Kubernetes configuration, typically ~/.kube/config. This file can have multiple configurations in it that are managed manually or with kubectl context.
When you provision a second Kubernetes cluster on AWS using Kops, brand new resources are recreated that have no frame of reference about the other cluster. Your EBS volumes that were created for PVs in your original cluster cannot simply be transferred between clusters using a context entry in your configuration file. That's not how it is designed to work.
Aside from the design problem, there is also a serious technical hurdle involved. EBS volumes are ReadWriteOnce. Meaning that they can only be attached to a single pod at once. The reason this constraint exists is because the EBS connection is block storage that is treated like a physical block device connected to the underlying worker node running your pod. That physical block device does not exist on the worker nodes in your other cluster. So it's impossible to simply move the pointer over.
The best way to accomplish this would be to back up and copy over the disk. How you handle this is up to your team. One way you could do it is by mounting both EBS volumes and copying the data over manually. You could also take a snapshot and restore the data to the other volume.

This story has been updated throughout.
A Plano man arrested in the rape and strangulation of a woman near Texas Christian University last month went on to kill a Plano woman whose body was found in Lake Ray Hubbard days later, police said Friday.
Police say Reginald Kimbro, 23, has also been linked to at least two previous rapes, but he was never prosecuted. They are now looking from Dallas-Fort Worth to Arkansas for other possible murder or sexual assault victims.
Megan Leigh Getrum
Kimbro was arrested April 27 and later charged with capital murder in the death of Molly Matheson, 22, of Fort Worth. He now faces an additional capital murder charge in the death of Megan Leigh Getrum, 36, of Plano. Prosecutors in Tarrant and Dallas counties could seek the death penalty.
Kimbro and Matheson dated briefly, but Kimbro and Getrum were strangers, police say. Both women were raped and strangled.
Law enforcement is "backtracking" where Kimbro has been, Plano police spokesman David Tilley said. The department is asking local law enforcement in two states to examine unsolved murders, missing person cases and sexual assaults similar to those Kimbro is accused of committing.
"We had the one, and then we had two," Tilley said. "Where there's two, there could be three."
Tilley also said some rape victims could have been fearful of reporting crimes to police because Kimbro is a "dangerous" man.
"There may be people out there who may have been scared to come forward. Now he's locked up, and he's probably not getting out," Tilley said.
Kimbro denied that he killed either woman, police say. His attorney could not be reached for comment.
Plano woman's body was found floating in Lake Ray Hubbard days before she was reported missing
Both victims were raped
An arrest warrant affidavit released Friday said Kimbro's DNA was found on both Matheson's and Getrum's bodies.
Plano police believe Matheson was sexually assaulted and strangled on April 10. They said her killer tried to get rid of evidence by washing her body at her Fort Worth apartment.
Four days later, Getrum left her Plano home for a walk in a park and never came back. On April 15, her body was found nearly 30 miles away in Lake Ray Hubbard, but it would not be identified until April 19, a day after her family reported her missing.

The medical examiner concluded she died of homicidal violence that included blunt force injury, neck compression and drowning, court records show.
A sexual assault exam found Kimbro's DNA, the records say.
During the investigation of Matheson's murder, Kimbro told police he had been in her room shortly before her death. He denied killing or raping her.

Kimbro's Facebook page, which has been deactivated, said he lived in Plano and was a marketing student at the University of Arkansas, where Matheson went to school. The university, however, said last month that it had no record of him being a student.
Matheson's family released a statement Friday afternoon saying they were saddened by the latest accusations against Kimbro.
"It is extraordinarily frustrating to know that neither of these senseless murders should have ever happened if our judicial system had done its job properly," the statement read.
The worst part is we are no longer the only family involved. The Getrum family is in our prayers.

Reginald Kimbro
(Mansfield Police Department)
Never prosecuted for rapes
Kimbro has been the suspect in at least two other sexual assault investigations in the past, but those investigations didn't result in any charges against him.
In 2012, a woman in Plano accused him of throwing her to the ground and sexually assaulting her as he choked her. Police said he then ordered her to get into the trunk of his car. She promised not to tell anyone what happened, but reported the alleged incident to police when she got home.
Plano police didn't file any charges against Kimbro at the time because the woman said she didn't want to pursue a case.
A girlfriend of Kimbro's told Plano police in 2014 that he liked to "strangle" her while they had sex. She "would then have to remove his hands away from her neck because he had, 'gone too far,'" the arrest affidavit released Friday says.
In 2014, police in South Padre Island arrested Kimbro after a woman said he raped her and choked her. His DNA matched samples collected from the woman in a rape examination, but authorities there didn't pursue a case against him, Plano police wrote in their arrest affidavit for the Getrum case.
South Padre Island police and the Cameron County district attorney's office could not be reached for comment about why the case did not move forward.
Kimbro's father, Eugene Reginald Kembro, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1994 in Dallas County. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The father was originally charged with murder. Details about what happened weren't immediately available.
The father also has convictions in Dallas County for burglary, DWI, drug possession and being a felon unlawfully possessing a gun.
2012: A Plano woman accuses Reginald Kimbro of sexually assaulting her and covering her mouth and nose to where she couldn't breathe.
2014: Kimbro's girlfriend tells a Plano detective investigating the 2012 incident that Kimbro liked to choke her while they had sex.
2014: South Padre Island police arrest Kimbro after a woman accuses him of choking and raping her after she turned him down for sex. The charges are dismissed.
April 10, 2017: Molly Matheson's body is found in her Fort Worth apartment near Texas Christian University.
April 14: Megan Leigh Getrum leaves her Plano apartment for a walk and is not heard from again.
April 15: A woman's body is found in Lake Ray Hubbard.
April 18: Getrum's family reports her missing to Plano police.
April 19: The body is identified as Getrum's.
April 27: U.S. marshals arrest Kimbro at his father's house in Dallas, and later charge him with capital murder charge in Matheson's death.
May 25: Plano police file a capital murder charge against Kimbro in Getrum's death.

Home nCa English The boy who didn't want to learn violin spellbinds Ashgabat
Raviliya Kadyrova
Ashgabat, 18 November 2016 (nCa) — Chen Zimbalista, the boy who didn't want to learn violin, gave a spellbinding concern Thursday evening in Ashgabat.
Co-hosted by the Israeli embassy in Ashgabat and the ministry of culture of Turkmenistan the joint concert of Chen Zimbalista and the symphonic orchestra of Turkmenistan led by its artistic director and conductor Rasul Klychev, the concert was a feast for the soul.
Ambassador Itzhak Carmel Kagan said in his opening remarks that when Zimbalista was just five, he already knew what he wanted to do with his life. His mother wanted him to learn violin but he was determined to pursue percussion instruments. As a result, his mother sold her car to buy him marimba, a unique instrument with origins from Africa.
It was the same marimba that was flown in from Israel for the concert in Ashgabat.
Even though his marimba is the main attraction in every performance he gives around the world – and he has toured more than 17 countries already – Zimbalista is master of some 40 different percussion instruments.
The concert opened with Zimbalista playing Bach's violin concerto in A minor on his marimba and meandered through the master pieces of Beethoven and Nury Halmamedov, the recklessly joyous Saudacao from Mexico and the soulful expression of love in Oblivion from Brazil, culminating with Zimbalista being Zimbalista with his marimba and percussion solo and sets.
In the eleven numbers on the ticket, first few were conducted by Zimbalista and the remaining by Klychev with Zimbalista leading on his marimba.
The orchestra, both under Zimbalista and Klychev, performed as one body, one heart, one soul. It was all so natural, so blissful.
The little bell that he wore around his left ankle, added further mystique to the magic of Zimbalista. With his skillful tapping of the left foot, he mixed subtle silver peals to his powerful music.
After the concert, the Israeli ambassador hosted a reception at his residence. Zimbalista said at the reception that even though he had given joint concerts in many countries, it was the first time that he felt a unique resonance, oneness, harmony with the symphonic orchestra of Turkmenistan. He plans a joint project.
This will hopefully propel the symphonic orchestra of Turkmenistan to the world stage, adding to the possibilities of how music can be the messenger of peace and love.
Here are some pictures from the concert:

Rachel wanted desperately to be the narrator this year. She read the entire Christmas story for us. She also played the part of shepherd and wise man.
Miriam only wanted to be Mary. She was originally dressed similarly to Rachel but ended up in Brother Brown's present instead. Baby Jesus was played by Baby Norah.
I guess Andrew took a turn narrating this part. King Benjamin was coveting that box of frankincense, gold, and myrrh pretty hard.
And here we are together (except for Daddy because he's taking the picture) around the Christmas tree.
I would have liked a family photo but some of us (ie. Benjamin) weren't in a taking-picture mood and needed to be put to bed. All in all it was a successful Christmas Eve.
great pictures - I especially love the last one.
Merry Christmas to a super family!
Looks pretty good to me. We neither did the nativity nor even read the Christmas story. We instead put that Joy to the World Video on that came in Ensign a couple of years ago. Thank goodness for that because Dr. J was conked out on the floor and I was exhausted from making tamales :) Not my best Christmas moment!

The Brown Scapular & Other Scapulars
The following is taken from the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy: Principles and Guidelines of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, 2002.
The history of Marian piety also includes "devotion" to various scapulars, the most common of which is devotion to the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Its use is truly universal and, undoubtedly, it is one of those pious practices which the Council described as "recommended by the Magesterium throughout the centuries."*
The Scapular of Mount Carmel is a reduced form of the religious habit of the Order of the Friars of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel. Its use is very diffuse and often independent of the life and spirituality of the Carmelite family.
The Scapular is an external sign of the filial relationship established between the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of Mount Carmel, and the faithful who entrust themselves totally to her protection, who have recourse to her maternal intercession, who are mindful of the primacy of the spiritual life and the need for prayer.
The Scapular is imposed by a special rite of the Church which describes it as "a reminder that in Baptism we have been clothed in Christ, with the assistance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, solicitous for our conformation to the Word Incarnate, to the praise of the Trinity, we may come to our heavenly home wearing our nuptial garb."**
The imposition of the Scapular should be celebrated with "the seriousness of its origins. It should not be improvised. The Scapular should be imposed following a period of preparation during which the faithful are made aware of the nature and ends of the association they are about to join and of the obligations they assume."***

Last Execution in the Tower of London
Category: Did You Know
The last execution in the Tower of London took place during World War II when Josef Jakobs, a German soldier, was captured while parachuting into England.
Following his trial, he was convicted of espionage, brought to the Tower and executed by firing squad on August 15, 1941.
The chair in which he sat during his execution is still on display.
Jakobs was just one of many who were executed at the Tower of London during its 900 year history, and as a result it has gained a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in Britain.
