Drama As Driver Strips n3ked To Avoid Getting Arrested
General NewsNovember 24, 2013
There was drama at the Palmgrove Bus Stop, when a commercial bus driver stripped n3ked to avoid being arrested by officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority.
The LASTMA officials had blocked five different commercial buses for indiscriminately taking passengers by the side of the road. Passengers in the four vehicles were asked to alight, as officials of the traffic agency took over the wheels of the impounded vehicles.
There was however drama when the old man who drove the fifth bus suddenly went inside his bus and brought out a bowl. A fetid odour emanating from the bowl polluted the fresh morning air. The LASTMA officers, policemen and commuters ran for cover.
But one of the officials came back and stood his ground, wielding a baton and insisting that the man must follow them. When it became obvious that the odour strategy had failed, the driver began pulling off his clothes, prostrating by the front tyres of the vehicle and rolling on the floor.
A crowd formed around the area, with some of the bystanders capturing the scene with their camera phones. One of the officials was heard telling his colleagues to "leave him alone and let him go." However, they took close shots of the vehicle number plate, and the driver, before taking other seized vehicles away.
Our correspondent spoke with a resident who said he knew the old man well. He said, "That is how the man usually does. His bus plies Lagos Island everyday and he picks his passengers from that spot." The source, who did not identify himself, added that it was the second time the man would put up the show.
He said the bus was owned by a military officer. When our correspondent approached the old man for comment, he refused to talk. When he was, however, confronted with the allegation of being a serial offender, he said, "Look, whoever wants to talk should talk. Everybody has his problems and I have mine." He drove the vehicle into a filling station.
Attempts to speak with LASTMA proved abortive. An officer who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone said he was not disposed to comment and referred him to another senior officer, who equally declined comment.

Southwest Airlines unveils first 'green plane'; saves 9,500 gallons of fuel per year
Southwest Airlines has announced the world's first "green plane," a Boeing 737-700 that's 472 lbs. lighter than a conventional model and saves 9,500 gallons of jet fuel per year.
By Andrew Nusca | October 26, 2009 -- 08:19 GMT (01:19 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
It's no secret that the airplanes are some of the worst polluting transportation methods available. According to Outside.com, airlines account for about two percent of "all glacier-melting, polar bear-killing emissions released into our carbon-choked friendly skies."
That article cites Southwest as the leading U.S. airline for carbon footprint awareness, and notes that the company spent $175 million to retrofit the navigation systems on its planes to calculate tighter flight paths and thus reduce jet fuel consumption by six percent, or about 90 million gallons a year.
So it's no surprise that Southwest is again at the forefront of an industry that, in the U.S., lags behind the world in efficiency.
To lighten the Boeing 737-700's load, the company is installing recyclable InterfaceFLOR carpet, weight-saving seat covers and life vest pouches, lighter foam fill in the seats and aluminum (versus plastic) seat rub strips.
Here's a rundown of the advantages, in the carrier's own words:
InterfaceFLOR Carpet - this carpet reduces labor and material costs because it is installed in sections, thus eliminating the need for total replacement of areas such as aisles, where Southwest currently uses one single piece of carpet. The 100 percent recyclable carpet is returned to the manufacturer at the end of its service life and completely re-manufactured into new carpet; the process is completely carbon neutral.
Seat covers - two new products that will be tested on the aircraft seats, offering more than twice the durability than the current leather seats as well as a weight savings of almost two pounds per seat.
On one side of the aisle, e-Leather is an eco-friendly, lightweight and scuff resistant man-made alternative to traditional leather. It is made from recycled materials that have been discarded by the leather industry. It is then upgraded utilizing eco-friendly technology, resulting in composition leather, a man-made material.
On the other side of the aisle, IZIT Leather, a new breed of premium leather alternative, is an evolutionary step beyond calf skin that offers a lightweight product that is both economical and durable, but with the genuine appearance and touch of luxurious leather.
Life Vest Pouch - more environmentally friendly because it offers a weight savings of one pound per passenger, replacing the current metal container with lighter durable canvas. The smaller pouch also creates more room under the seat for carryon items and offers productivity improvements due to design change.
Foam Fill - A lighter weight fill from Garnier PURtec in the back of the seats that reduces weight while providing increased Customer comfort.
Passenger Seat Rub Strips - switching from plastic to aluminum will help with durability, which reduces waste, as well as being recyclable.
The decision to go green isn't just smart for the environment, of course; it's also smart business. Aside from the recyclable elements, the updates will save almost five pounds per seat. That means less emissions (making the federal government happy) and less spent fuel (making shareholders happy).
Southwest also announced the Nov. 1 kickoff of a more robust onboard recycling program.
The company didn't say when the plane would take flight.

The loss of a tooth could be caused from many different reasons; tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.
A single dental implant from Tisbury Dental & Implant Clinic in Tisbury is the most functional secure replacement for a missing tooth, allowing you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence.
A single titanium implant is placed into the jaw, as the replacement root. It's a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic. The implant will need three to six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.
A temporary crown is usually fitted at the same time as your implant placement, which will stay in place until the final restoration appointment.
Once your jaw has healed, an abutment will be fixed to the implant to hold your replacement tooth (crown) in place. Abutments are produced in titanium, gold or porcelain, and can come as a standard fit or crafted specifically for you. These options offer a range of aesthetics results, depending on your requirements.
A crown is then fitted on top, to replace your missing tooth. Your Tisbury dentist will carefully match the colour of your crown to your natural teeth. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.
If you would like to find out more then please ask us about our free consultations.
If you're missing more than one tooth, there are a number of options available to you at Tisbury Dental & Implant Clinic.
Same Day Teeth is a process at Tisbury Dental & Implant Clinic where patients can have implants placed and fully functioning teeth attached in the space of one day.


My very successful girlfriend swears by this audiobook. It's a good read to get ready and make some changes for the New Year.
It's like drunk ice cream.
More than a cookbook, this is a scrapbook of Allegra McEvedy's culinary travels through no less than 20 countries. Divided geographically, with several highlight recipes from each place, the recipes are all easy to make and still very distinctive to the place where they are from. Beyond the recipes, and Allegra's very personal accounts on each place, the layout is simply fantastic and that makes for a very special book.
This is a tome of almost biblical proportions on the subject of entertaining for any time of year and on any occasion. In the book we're invited into the places where Martha entertains most, at home in Bedford and in Maine, and at friends' houses. As usual, Martha Stewart reaches that singular combination of personal and practical for her trademark pitch perfect entertaining.
Because of his lifelong struggle with diabetes, Sam Talbot – who we know and love from Top Chef and from the wonderful Surf Lodge in Montauk – is a pioneer in cooking healthy meals that rank low on the glycemic index. This is a handbook on how to make fun, easy and extremely healthy food for the entire family – and enjoy it while you're at it. This is a great one for parents looking for simple and healthy recipes for their kids.
Our friend Jim Meehan, of one of our favorite bars in NYC – PDT(featured in our app) – has come out with his guide to cocktails. They are guaranteed to be delicious. Also, check out our festive cocktails newsletter from a few years ago to see the recipes he came up with for us then.
Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC is the place to get the most inventive, original and yet familiar desserts. Head chef Christina Tosi is a major sugar addict who creates nostalgic recipes that are simultaneously modern. Cereal milk is one of her ice-cream flavors. She uses cornflakes in her cookies. In short, Tosi taps into our most familiar childhood cravings and makes something new with them. Warning: you're going to need some serious time to achieve her results, but it's worth it.
The cookbook for one of New York's most elegant venues is correspondingly chic. More than a cookbook, and a great one at that, it's a coffee table book with Francesco Tonelli's very sleek and modern photography that matches the caliber of the food. Quite simply a beautiful book.
Traditionally, "The Family Meal" is the meal that the staff at a restaurant takes a break to make and enjoy to fuel a night of more cooking. It's an honor to be invited behind the scenes of the legendary El Bulli where 75 staff members ate a family meal every day until the restaurant closed its doors this past summer. A completely visual book, with few instructions and a lot of very illuminating photos for each step of the way. One of the coolest and most innovative cookbooks in a long time.
This six volume collection is not exactly a cookbook, it's more like a science textbook/encyclopedia of cooking terms/cookbook/definitive guide to the techniques and ingredients that define Molecular Gastronomy. It's not exactly for home chefs (unless you have a centrifuge and an evaporator lying around) but it is a fascinating read with beautiful photography.

Five On Friday - March 16, 1952
Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Friday, March 16, 2012
So, the date is Sunday, March 16, 1952.
On that day, Babe Didrikson-Zaharias won the LPGA Titleholders Golf Championship
Also on that day 1870 mm (73.6220472 inches) of rain fell in Cilaos, Reunion (Cilaos is a town and commune on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean.)
Yesterday I mentioned that we are all in Florida for
Because on Sunday, March 16, 1952 in The Bronx, NY the marriage of Joan Rose and Vincent Ernest took place
Today we are all in Florida
So glad we will be there together.
And since today is Friday...and that means FIVE ON FRIDAY, we offer up some Tuneage Tutelage and 5 songs from the year 1952...
Tutelage Part:
In the month of March, two significant events took place in music:
March 21 - First reported Rock and roll riot breaks out at Alan Freed's Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland, Ohio. Teenage excitement is blamed for the frenzy.
March 27 - Sun Records begins operations
Prior to the creation of the Hot 100, Billboard published multiple singles charts each week. In 1952, the following three charts were produced:
Best Sellers in Stores – ranked the biggest selling singles in retail stores, as reported by merchants surveyed throughout the country.
Most Played by Jockeys – ranked the most played songs on United States radio stations, as reported by radio disc jockeys and radio stations.
Most Played in Jukeboxes – ranked the most played songs in jukeboxes across the United States.
Johnny Ray dominated on the radio and in the stores from the beginning of the year with the song "Cry"
Then, on March 15, 1952, Kay Starr took over the top selling single position
and the most played song on the radio with "Wheel Of Fortune"...
On May 17th, Leroy Anderson took over the top selling spot with his composition "Blue Tango"
Yet, at the same time, the radio was playing "Kiss Of Fire" by Georgia Gibbs
In 1952, the song that charted highest in the limited charts available
around the world was Percy Faith's "Delicato"
Billie Holiday Sings was the first album made by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released in the United States
by Clef Records in 1952. Off that album, I selected the song, "Easy To Love".
60 years is a long time and it is filled with peaks and valleys, but to stay together that long,
it certainly must be....easy to love!

Vinny "Bond" Marini Says:
Mike - got me by 2 years! Have a grand weekend
Margaret- Thanks!
Durward Discussion Says:
Congratulations on a wonderful love story. I was 8 years old and these were some of my first memories of popular music. As luck would have it, today my blog ties in with the beginnings of rock and roll. Enjoy.
Travis Cody Says:
Congratulations to your folks! Love the tunes and the tutelage that came along with them.
Posted on Fri Mar 16, 01:57:00 PM CDT
Interesting to learn what was topping the charts just as rock and roll was breaking onto the scene. Happy Anniversary to your folks! A great achievement to be sure.
Julia Phillips Smith Says:
Posted on Sun Mar 18, 07:17:00 AM CDT
1952 - still twelve years before I came along. Out of the tunes you shared, the artist who has had the most lasting impact is the one was marginalized the most at the time: Billie Holiday. And her song was my favorite this week, although Delicado is a good one!
Mimi Lenox Says:
Your parents look wonderfully happy and totally youthful as well! Congrats to them and so glad you all got to be together for the Big Event.

An Oneida County man who was charged in April with defecating and urinating in the lobby of the Utica Police station appears to be in trouble with the law again, this time for allegedly robbing a church.
Officers with the Utica Police Department were called to a local church on Monday, May 16, 2022 for a report of a burglary.
It appeared that electronic items and clothing were allegedly stolen from the church by someone who had broken into the building. The church has a surveillance system and officials were able to share camera footage with the Mohawk Valley Crime Analysis Center.
According to a written release from the UPD, a member of New York State Parole was able to identify the suspect in the burglary as Alen Pajazetovic.
Pajazetovic was charged on Friday, June 3, 2022 with the following:
Burglary in the Third Degree
Pajazetovic had previously been in trouble with police for allegedly defecating and urinating in the lobby of the Utica Police Department in April.
No injuries were reported as a result of the arrest. None of the incidents have involved any violence. WIBX has asked if a mental health evaluation was requested or ordered as a result of the April incident.
Additional information has not yet been released.

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue Review
Posted By Chris on May 16, 2011
Below is a detailed account of the brand new Star Tours: The Adventures Continue ride. If you want to remain spoiler free, stop reading now!
I had the pleasure of taking part in Disney's soft opening for the much anticipated attraction overhaul of Star Tours this past Sunday (May 15th). There was never more than a 30 minute wait, so I was able to ride it six times in a row with no trouble at all. Unfortunately, there are no photos allowed inside the attraction, so out of respect for Disney and Lucasfilm, I can't show you much. However, I'll go into as much detail as possible about the the new queue line and the ride itself as I try to remember everything about this four minute and thirty second thrill.
The queue line for the ride is pretty much the same as it was before, but there are a few changes worth mentioning.
? The Mon Calamari Officers are still present in their control room high above the line (no changes).
? In the first room of the queue, the full size StarSpeeder 3000 has been changed to a StarSpeeder 1000 and repainted to a maroon and white color from the blue and white that it used to be.
? Also in the first room, is a HUGE screen with flight status reports and weather conditions on various worlds in both basic and Aurebesh which also runs tour advertisements for different worlds every two to three minutes.
? As you enter the second room in the queue, the old REX droid from the previous ride is sitting off to the left side with a sticker that reads ?DEFECTIVE - RETURN TO FACTORY?.
? There?s an x-ray machine with a new security droid that checks each piece of luggage as it?s scanned which you are able to see. There are a ton of items that can be seen: Vader?s boots, Scout Trooper mask, Ewoks, Battle Droid heads, Captain Eo droid, Buzz Lightyear, Wall-E, Mickey ears, astromech droids, tools, sports equipment, etc. The droid tries to make small talk with you as you stand in line depending on what's seen in the luggage he's scanning.
? There?s a door size screen that shows various types of passenger shadows walking by every few seconds (COOL feature!).
? There?s another x-ray machine at the top of the ramp before you get in the actual line for your shuttle that is infrared with a view screen that you can see yourself on.
? The messy look with all the droid parts laying around has been cleaned up for a more streamlined look.
Once you make your way through the queue, you arrive at the boarding gate. You are instructed to go either to the left or the right and asked how many are traveling in your party. Depending on your answer, you are given a line number. On the way to your shuttle, you pick up some ultra cool 3-D glasses for your journey which are pictured above. As you stand in line waiting for the shuttle doors to open, a new video is shown. C-3PO is outside the ship looking things over. There are some Pit Droids attempting to do some maintenance on the outside of the ship, a Mouse droid falls off the side of the launch pad and luggage falls off a passing transport. Once C-3PO is inside, he talks to the captain about trying to fix an issue with the shuttle. You then see the captain walk away while he works on the ship. The shuttle doors are opened and in you go. Once everyone is seated, the Star Tours worker makes sure all are secure in their seats and closes you in as the phrase "May the Force be with you" is said.
Launch control decides it is time for your shuttle to launch without the captain on board much to C-3PO?s displeasure. A photo is taken of a random passenger who is named the ?Rebel Spy? for each mission which always results in a laugh from the other passengers as this person is displayed on a monitor for all to see.
Opening #1:
You are stopped abruptly by Darth Vader and an entire garrison of Stormtroopers on your way out of the hangar. He demands a search of your shuttle and starts tossing you around with the Force, but R2-D2 has other plans. He opens fire on Vader and starts backing up. Vader ignites his lightsaber, blocks the shots and tells his men to chase you. Four TIE Fighters begin the chase as you exit the hangar backwards. Once in space, you destroy one TIE Fighter and avoid several more while flying around Star Destroyers before jumping to hyperspace.
The bay door opens and you are staring right at the Millennium Falcon. An Imperial droid scans the ship and detects the Rebel Spy! You see an entire garrison of Stormtroopers gathering around the ramp aiming at Han Solo. Han puts his hands up and then starts firing on the troopers (Han shoots first!) and runs up the ramp. The Falcon takes off and you follow it out of the hangar into open space. Han shows off his fancy flying as you evade Star Destroyers before jumping to light speed.
After each opening, you blast into hyperspace and arrive at a random world which results in a wild ride around whichever planet or area you happen to be near. Once your time at the first location is complete, you fly back into space where you are contacted by one of three people: Admiral Ackbar, Yoda or Princess Leia. I never saw the Princess Leia version which was the one I was most looking forward to, of course. You are told that you have a Rebel Spy on board and you must see them safely to their destination. A very cool feature for this part of the ride is the fact that they say "him", "her" or "them" when referring to the Rebel Spy depending on who was chosen at the beginning. C-3PO comments "It appears that we've just joined the Rebel Alliance" and you blast back into hyperspace and on to the next location.
Here's a breakdown of each location I visited during my six missions:
Asteroid ring/Death Star - twice
Coruscant - twice
Hoth - three times
Kashyyyk - just once
Naboo - twice
Tatooine - twice
Asteroid ring around Geonosis/Death Star ? You are attacked by Boba Fett in his Slave I ship. You fly through and blast apart many asteroids before he shoots a seismic charge at you which R2 shoots back at him ending the fight. You spin around and see an incomplete Death Star as Vader and his wing men begin their attack run in perfect formation. C-3PO opts to fly straight into the Death Star (which is just insane to watch). You make your way to a hangar bay where Stormtroopers duck for cover as you fly overhead before jumping back into hyperspace and arriving at the Rebel Fleet as seen in the end of TESB. You land inside the Medical Frigate and are greeted with applause and smiles by the Alliance.
Coruscant ? You drop out of hyperspace into the ROTS opening battle where you are flying in and out of the larger ships. Three buzz droids latch on to your windshield. R2 handles one of them while the other two get blasted off as you fly through a ball of fire from an exploding ship. You now make your quick decent onto the planet surface as you free fall next to another ship that's aflame. R2 decides to fly the wrong way through the air lanes before landing on a platform delivering the spy and the rest of the passengers safely.
Hoth ? You land smack in the middle of the bitter cold and follow two Snowspeeders in the Battle of Hoth which includes flying through AT-AT Walker legs, being shot at and eventually, coming to rest on the edge of a steep cliff. C-3PO tells everyone to be still and then screams for everyone to lean back as you begin falling forward. The shuttle falls into a trench of sorts and slides down further and further before being launched off the abrupt end. R2 fires the engines just as you begin to fall back to the ground and off the planet and back into space you go.
Kashyyyk ? You land in the forest and are part of a speederbike chase (very Endor like). A wookiee gets blasted off his own ride and slams into your windshield. He tries to hang on, but gravity gets the better of him and he slides off and away leaving hand streaks all the way down. You come out of the forest and blast off the planet back into space.
Naboo ? You drop out of Hyperspace into the battle over Naboo complete with the blockade in place. You follow a few Naboo Starfighters onto the planet and get shot down into the water where you find the underwater city of Otah Gunga (Jar Jar alert!). A Gungun instructs you to follow him through the planet core where you are attacked by several ?bigger fish? (TPM sequence). The last giant water dweller to attack grabs you in its mouth and shakes you around while it licks the windshield before R2 electrocutes it causing the beast to fall away. You blast to the surface and crash land into a hanger off the shore where the tail of a Naboo Starfighter crashes through the front window of your shuttle. This is done so abruptly and well in 3-D you can?t help but duck.
Tatooine ? You drop right into the pod race where you run into other racers jetting through Beggar's Canon. Along the way, Jabba's Sail Barge is seen off to the right. You turn sideways to make it through a narrow part of the canon and get stuck to another podracer and lurch ahead barely beating Sebulba to the line. You free yourself from the other podracer (which goes spinning wildly), barely make it over the crowd and jet back into space.
While I saw the same locations several times, the ride was never once the exact same. There are always different versions which makes it fun. All in all, a fantastic upgrade to what was already a great ride. The 3-D aspect is not over the top, but just right. This is a must see/ride for any Star Wars fan.

Home News Students and teacher off to International Space Camp
Students and teacher off to International Space Camp
Five students and one teacher have been selected by the Society to attend the International Space Camp (ISC) in Huntsville, Alabama in July.
The Society received over 100 applications from students wishing to attend ISC and the selection panel were most impressed with the standard of applicants
ISC bring together students and educators from all over the world to build relationships and challenge themselves as learners. Thirty-five countries participate and some of these include Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
The students and educators will be both challenged academically and physically through extended duration missions and, if they wish, experiencing microgravity in the Underwater Astronaut Trainer.
Seventy per cent of the travel and registration costs are funded by the Talented School Students Travel Award, managed by Royal Society Te Apārangi and funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
The students selected are:
Sophie Deam, Year 13 student from Papanui High School, Christchurch
Sophie says: "I have always had an interest in space and astronomy, and throughout high school I really began to act on this interest. I read books about space and I follow NASA on Instagram and
I've also recently been accepted into the Elaine P. Snowden School of Astronomy which is run by the University of Canterbury. Only 20 from 150 applicants were accepted. I push myself to excel in mathematics and physics and next year I would like to study a Bachelor of Science at the University of Canterbury and eventually become an astrophysicist."
Callum Greig, Year 13 student from Paraparaumu College, Kapiti Coast
Callum is very involved in school activities, including playing in the school volleyball team for the last five years and coaching a team for the last three years. On top of that, he tutors students in English, Mathematics and Science and runs an astronomy club at school where he has organised trips to the Carter Observatory. Last year he decided to study NCEA Level 2 Earth and Space Science independently, as his school does not offer that subject. "I self-taught myself an external astronomy paper, for which I achieved a merit grade" Callum said. He plans to study engineering at university and then perhaps go on to study astrophysics.
Alexia Landry, Year 13 student from Nelson College for Girls'
Alexia has a strong desire to complete her tertiary study in the field of physics and is particularly interested in astrophysics. In addition to her studies at school, Alexia has been an active member in a number of extra-curricular activities in her senior year. She has founded a lunchtime current issues club, tutors younger students in mathematics and science and volunteers at a number of community events. She is also a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters where she is a trusting "big sister" for a young Nepalese girl now living in Nelson.
Alexia also recently found out that she has been selected to attend the International Summer School for Young Physicists (ISSYP) at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada. This challenging two-week programme starts three days after Space Camp. Alexia said: "Participating at ISC and ISSYP will help me learn more about science and it will be great to be taught about scientific concepts, especially beyond what is offered in the high school curriculum. July is going to be a very busy month".
Vivek Panchal, Year 12 student at Howick College, Auckland
Vivek has been a volunteer at Stardome Observatory since 2016 and a member of the Auckland Astronomical Society. Vivek topped his school for Year 9 and Year 10. He passed Level 1 NCEA with an overall excellence endorsement and also participated in the Education Prefect Science Championships, where he topped the school and was in the top 5% of 80,000 competitors around the world. He says: "I am very interested in all aspects of science (particularly physics and chemistry), but I am also curious to understand a lot more than meets the eye (like electromagnetic radiation). I am looking forward to meeting like-minded people that love and enjoy science where we can share and discuss issues that face our world today. " Vivek would like to study physics or engineering at university the year after next.
Sarah Poulter, Year 11 student from St Mary's College, Auckland
Although Sarah is only in Year 12 at school she has already passed Level 2 NCEA with excellence and Calculus Level 3 with excellence. She is a volunteer school librarian and volunteers for her local surf club. She says: "I am searching for the science career path that will enable me the opportunity to have the greatest impact on our society. I was lucky enough to witness the Rocket Lab launch in Mahia earlier this year and this reinforced my interest in studying aerospace engineering. At the age of eight, I built a "life size" model rocket out of cardboard. Squeezed inside I could travel to the moon".
The teacher selected to accompany the students is:
Erin Nolan, a science teacher at Trident High School, Whakatane
Erin says: "Ever since the fourth form I have had a passion for Geology and chose to study that at university. When I first started teaching, I was disappointed to see that it wasn't offered much in the old Science curriculum but we did teach a little bit of it at Year 10 and 11. I was very excited when it was introduced as a fourth science subject as I could finally teach my background and share my passion for Earth Science with my students. The main reason why I love it and enjoy teaching it is partly because of where we live. Living in Whakatane, there is lots of active geology around us, which makes the subject applicable to our students. We also have an observatory which we are taking students up to, so that they can look at the stars and planets that they are learning about."

Instigative aggression: traditional versus liberal sex roles
Theodore D. Nirenberg (Creator)
Jacquelyn Gaebelein
Abstract: A review of the literature on sex differences in aggression reveals that in the majority of studies males are physically more aggressive than females (Buss, 1963; 1966; Taylor and Epstein, 1967). However, most experimenters have grouped male and female data with respect to sex differences rather than on specific characteristics of the individual. The present study addresses itself to the question whether there are some males who are equally or less aggressive than females and whether there are males who do not differentiate between the sex of the target of aggression, when sex role attitudes are taken into account. Most of the studies on sex differences in aggression also have examined the overt expression of aggression in a simple shock exchange paradigm which involves just the subject and victim. It seems apparent that in society all aggressiveness is not that simple, but in fact involves the presence of others. Gaebelein (1973a) modified Taylor's (1967) paradigm such that third party instigation of aggression was investigated. This paradigm was used in the present study. Briefly, 40 male subjects were preselected according to their score on the Attitude Toward Women Scale (Spence & Helmreich, 1972). The subject (advisor) and a confederate (responder) were told that they were to work together in a competitive task against two other people. On each trial the confederate (responder) was to attempt to attain a faster reaction time than his competitor, since the one with the slower reaction time would receive a shock.

If you like sports and have a pulse, you have undoubtedly heard all of the reports this week about Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and his trip to Las Vegas. Although we still don't have photographic proof, the rumors are the quarterback ditched the last game of the season while on concussion protocol to go party in Vegas in full disguise.
Having said pulse would also mean you have probably heard everyone talking about the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer which follows the murder trial for Teresa Halbach and the suspect Steven Avery. Don't worry, no spoilers here.
Since the internet is an awesome machine of ingenuity, we now have a mashup in Making a Manziel. Big ups to Katie Nolan and her show on Fox Sports 1, Garbage Time, for what will no doubt be an internet classic.

Falling Asleep at the Wheel and Alert Drops
with Anson WIlliams, Actor & Inventor of Alert Drops and Daniel Brown, attorney & National Sleep Foundation Member
790 KABC, September 23, 2017
After a particularly grueling 15-hour workday, Anson Williams fell asleep behind the wheel. Within seconds of doing so, he'd veered off the road and was abruptly jarred awake by the rocking motions of his car.
"It was a really hot day and I was driving home through the Palmdale desert in California," Williams, 68, recalls. "[Without realizing it], I'd gone off the road and only woke up when I started bouncing around. I'm lucky to be alive; God knows what could have happened."
It's been 18 years since the former Happy Days star (he played fan favourite Warren "Potsie" Weber) had his near-death experience, but it left the actor-director shaken to the core and determined to combat drowsy driving. To do so, he enlisted the help of his famous uncle, Dr. Henry Heimlich (creator of the Heimlich Maneuver). Together, the two concocted the perfect antidote: Alert Drops, which only requires a simple spritz of lemon juice right to the centre of the tongue to wake you up.
"Dr. Heimlich explained to me how the citric acid in a lemon, when bitten, will hit the lingual nerve [at the centre of your tongue] and your brain will wake up instantly," Williams says. "You know how you go to a doctors' office and they test your reflexes by tapping your knees? It's the same thing. It's an automatic reaction. There's nothing magical about it, it's just the way the body works. So I started cutting up lemons and keeping them in my car and never [fell asleep at the wheel] again."
Williams—whose birth name is Anson Heimlich—later reached out to his business partner, Joanna Connell, and the two endeavored to create a natural, travel-friendly lemon spray that also raises awareness about this citric lifesaver.
"There's 168 million Americans that drive while drowsy," he says, referencing a recent study. "One out of five people admit to falling asleep, yet no one talks about it."
Consider this: The human mouth carries between 5,000 and 10,000 taste buds, with each bud containing more than 50 receptors that transmit information directly to the brain. The "sour" taste message received via a lemon travels through the nerve fibers to the brain and reaches the sensory cortex, instantly alerting you to your surroundings.
"We found the perfect combination with the lemon," Williams says. "Alert Drops are 60 percent citric acid, sour lemon and water with some sodium benzoate [a food preservative]. One spray can last up to 30 minutes and if you need it again, do it again!"


A farmer's work is in every home. Every person needs to eat. It's not an option, if you want to sustain life. Farmers are the foundation to every meal in this world.
With our first son having major complications, becoming autistic, and subsequent children facing eczema, ADD, cancer,etc.., we found recovery by eating foods from mindful farmers. We thank them weekly and consider our local farmers in Florida (and everywhere) a very important and respected part of our lives. Furthermore, although we go GFCF to recover, we have seen the power of raw milk for many indications; e.g., raw camel's milk for autism, raw goat yogurt for eczema, and much, much more.
This is a very important time. Raw milk and beyond organic food is difficult to obtain. I've worked tirelessly for my kids and the children we love in foster group homes. Many times, I have to be very creative to give them real food. The choice to have life-less food, packed with sugars and additives are very accessible. Yet the choice to have beyond organic, nutrient-rich food is more difficult and expensive. Unfortunately, these farms are not subsidized by our government in the USA. Additionally, our rights to consume the foods from the farmers we trust is threatened because our government branches have extended their reach into my home. Into your home. The choice to eat real food is becoming harder.
My nature is to work hard, plow through, not ruffle feathers and figure it out. However, I have friends in high places. Really smart and politically experienced friends who can make this world an easier place for moms like me and parents like you.
My sweet and very strong friend, mom, and raw milk/real food advocate, Liz Reitzig, called me a couple of weeks ago with wonderful news. A new alliance named Real Food Consumer Coalition with Liz, an incredible legal team, and journalism savant, David Gumpert, is now existent to represent every family in United Stated of America.
The goal is to publicize judicially and politically in a synergistic effort in order to push for freedom and access to real food and raw milk from a farmer of your choice. This includes farmers you may choose over the state line.
Your local grocery store does it, so it shouldn't even be an issue – but it is! Let me personally share that I have an additional level of confidence when I know the farmer and the beyond organic practices. I want to support that farm. It's just like our grocery stores (which we use), except the food from a farm is; more fresh, functionally packaged, and supports the little and mid-size farmers whom we respect.
L to R, Mandy and Liz Reitzig at the 2016 Wise Traditions Conference in Montgomery, Alabama enjoying the local views.
I asked Liz to please send a letter explaining what is happening and how we could help! Please note there are three actionables linked at the bottom. I'm giving a little (every bit counts), and I'm sharing. Please feel empowered to copy, support and share this to provide choice even if you choose differently!
The Real Food Consumer Coalition (RFCC) was founded with the intention of protecting our food rights and bringing transparency to our direct farmer-to-consumer exchanges.
RFCC is seeking your help in securing our rights to choose the foods and farmers of our choice!
During our short 6 months as a group of concerned individuals, we have worked closely with a farmer. He was under investigation by the USDA for meat sales that did not conform to the USDA strict guidelines for slaughtering at a USDA inspected facility. In fact, the vast majority of the farm's private buying club members did not want their meat coming from USDA inspected facilities. Nevertheless, the USDA continued with the investigation including requiring this farmer to hand over thousands of pages of sales records. He did not do this in USDA's allocated time frame and was subsequently charged with contempt of court.
RFCC stepped in, and with the help of many donors, we hired legal counsel for the membership as a whole, the farmer, the USDA, DOJ and the courts to peacefully resolve the contempt of court issues with no personal and confidential consumer information disclosed in the process. This huge victory in early 2017 was the beginning of our efforts on behalf of hundreds of farmers like him who produce food that people want.
Even with the contempt of court victory, this farmer's challenges are not over. Nor are the challenges of all the other farmers who help people get the foods they need even at the expense of interstate sales. Since this contempt of court victory, RFCC has worked closely with Emord and Associates, a specialized law firm based in Washington, DC, to create a citizens petition requesting the FDA to no longer aggressively prosecute farmers for transporting raw milk across state lines as long as the farmers use proper labeling on their product.
The petition is the first step in changing our outdated policy on interstate transportation of raw milk. In 1987, the FDA made it illegal to transport raw milk intended for human consumption across state lines. Since then, they have used that regulation as the means to aggressively raid, and often shut down, small-scale dairy farms that people depend on. One most recent casualty of the regulation is Humpback Dairy in Missouri.
With the petition now filed, and in the FDA waiting response (they have 180 days from the April 26, 2017 filing date), we will pursue the regulatory change from multiple angles simultaneously. While the bureaucrats at the FDA have a chance to look over the labeling and make a decision on the petition itself, we are raising funds to hire a DC based lobbyist to work with us in Congress, making the connections we need with legislators so that the petition can have the greatest impact possible. For this effort, we need to once again reach out to our supporters and advocates and ask for help. The RFCC steering committee and close allies are donating thousands of hours to this cause to make raw milk available again.
Will you help us with a donation of any size so we can continue the work we are doing and hire the right people to help us get the job done?
We appreciate your support. Please follow http://www. davidgumpert.com/blog for all updates on the court case, the petition and the legislative campaign as we get it going. We are so excited to be doing this work on behalf of everyone who wants the freedom to choose the foods of their choice from the producer of their choice.
Thank you for joining with us to make this a success!

PURE MOTIVATION: TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
It is not enough to say I will do my best. We must succeed at doing that which is necessary. It is critical, therefore, that we get a regular "check up from the neck up" and laugh, think, feel and re-energize. Research shows that we learn more, remember more, commit to more, and more wil ...
It is not enough to say I will do my best. We must succeed at doing that which is necessary. It is critical, therefore, that we get a regular "check up from the neck up" and laugh, think, feel and re-energize. Research shows that we learn more, remember more, commit to more, and more willingly accept the challenges of change, when we are entertained!
BUILDING A WINNING TEAM: DOMINATING THE COMPETITION

It's not all about team – teams lose! It's about winning! Are you working with a group that is confusing activity with accomplishment, and realizing that the popular concept of "turning me to we" is not improving your organizational performance? Maybe it's time to work with someone who has actually played on, coached, and worked with championship teams. I love to share the Ten Commitments required to identify, attract, develop and retain winners, and teach how to help them continue to make winning personal as a unified well-oiled machine!
CLOSING SALES / CREATING CUSTOMER DELIGHT: PERFECTING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Wealth flows through you, not to you! If price and money become the focus of conversation, it means the presentation is weak and the relationship is non- existent. Anybody can make a presentation. Anyone can serve a customer. Top of the Table professionals have taught me that to close a deal and generate repeat and referral business, our relationships must connect both on and off task, with a sensitivity that everybody likes to buy, nobody wants to be sold, and everybody likes to do business with a winner!
LIFE CHANGING LEADERSHIP: TRANSFORMING FROM SUCCESSFUL TO SIGNIFICANT

Tweets by Dan Clark
Dan is President/CEO of the international communications and high performance consulting firm, Clark Success Systems, a New York Times Best Selling Author, Award Winning Athlete, University Professor, Adventurer, Journalist, Gold Record Songwriter/Recording Artist, Philanthropist, and one of the most sought after speakers on the platform today!
Described as "a master motivator with an extraordinary intellect," Dan Clark is leading an international movement to teach leaders and organizations how to transform themselves from successful to significance. While others preach, "think outside the box," Dan asks, "what if the answers are still in the box?" While successful individuals seek change from the outside in, have an obsession with what's impressive, focus on fame and fortune, and get what they want, Dan teaches that individuals and organizations who achieve significance seek to become more of who they already are, have an obsession with what's important, focus on purposes instead of just setting goals, and want what they get.
Having fought his way back from a paralyzing injury that cut short his American football career, Dan's unique and comprehensive understanding of how to get from where we are to where we want to be, ignited a desire in him to share his revolutionary insights with the world.
Consequently, in 1982, Dan was sponsored into the National Speakers Association by world renowned motivational teacher Zig Ziglar, and has since spoken to over 4,500 audiences, to millions of people in all 50 states, in 50 countries, having been invited to share his innovative and counter-intuitive views on Significance, leadership, resiliency, increasing productivity, building team unity, and exceeding internal and external customer expectations with many of the world's most significant organizations including Apple, NASA, Super Bowl Champions, Million Dollar Round Table, Honeywell, Marriott Hotels, Delta Airlines, Troon Golf, and the staff at Mayo Clinic.
On July 11, 2005, Dan was one of five elected inductees into the National Speakers Association Speakers Hall of Fame. Since its inception in 1977, only 195 professional or celebrity speakers have become Hall of Fame members including Ronald Reagan, Colin Powell, Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, Art Linkletter, Norman Vincent Peale, Art Berg, and Keith Harrell. Hall of Fame inductees are selected for their mastery in seven areas for speaking excellence: Originality of Material; Uniqueness of Style; Experience; Delivery Technique; Client and Peer Image; Reputation and Professional Integrity; and Ability to Relate to their Audiences.
In 1987, prior to his induction into the Speakers Hall of Fame, Dan was the youngest ever to earn The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, conferred by the National Speakers Association and the International Federation for Professional Speakers, onto candidates who go through a five-year process where they must receive excellent ratings from past clients on performance evaluations; document that they have served a wide variety of at least 100 clients; take part in ongoing education; submit testimonial letters from their clients; and provide samples of their promotional materials.
Over a twenty-five year period, wherein they hired 250 of the most popular speakers/celebrities/authors on the planet, through a compilation of audience evaluations and a strict set of performance criterion which included requests for multiple return engagements, Achievers North America and Achievers Europe unanimously named Dan one of the Top Ten Speakers In The World!
Dan has also had the honor of presenting his ideas at the Festival of Thinkers in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to the general assembly of the United Nations World Congress, to the senior leadership of the United States military, and to U.S./Coalition combat troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa.
As a prolific writer, Dan is a New York Times Best Selling Author of 20 books, and a primary contributing author to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, where he has been published in more than 40 million books in 40 languages worldwide. Dan's story "Puppies for Sale" was made into an award winning film at Paramount Studios starring Jack Lemmon. Dan is also a Gold Record winning songwriter and a journalist who has interviewed many of the most famous movie, sports and music celebrities on the planet.
As an adventurer, Dan has soared to the edge of space in a U2 Spy Plane, flown fighter jets with the Air Force Thunderbirds, flown over Baghdad at 100 feet, and 100 mph in a Black Hawk helicopter, raced automobiles at Nurburgring, raced dog sleds in the arctic (spending the night in an igloo at 60 degrees below zero), won an "America's Cup Class" sailboat race in the Pacific, and carried the Olympic Torch in the 2002 Winter Games.
As a philanthropic patriot, Dan serves on the International Board of Governors of Operation Smile, and with the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force on his National Civic Leaders Board.
Dan's inspirational physical and emotional recovery from his football injury launched his speaking and writing careers. With the help of local business leaders Dan created a non-profit organization called "Tomorrows Leaders Youth" and with four friends, presented a 45-minute motivational assembly to several schools in Utah. Although the program was incredibly successful, after just 13 assemblies the group split up to pursue individual goals.
In 1980-81, Dan received a grant from the Utah State Office of Education and Utah State Legislature to speak to over 180 high schools and junior high/middle schools in the state. In 1982, world-renowned author/speaker, Zig Ziglar, heard Dan speak and sponsored him into the National Speakers Association, who for the next 25 years, served as Dan's mentor in the art of motivational teaching. With his endorsement, Dan teamed up with Dr. Jim Koeninger and joined Leadership Development Institute, where Dan instantly became the most popular speaker at youth leadership conferences in America. Consequently, Dan was invited by US President Ronald Regan's wife Nancy into the White House to take her "Just Say No" Positive Choices program to high schools in all 50 states. From 1983 to 1989, Dan spoke to an average of 3 schools and 9,000 students every day, for 150 school days per year. That's over 3,000 speeches, delivered over a seven-year period, to millions of teenagers, usually in a gymnasium, which incidentally, always ended in a standing ovation.
With a highly practiced, polished and finely tuned ability to deeply connect and engage with his audiences, Dan made the transition from the educational market to speaking in the international corporate world in 1989, and has since delivered at least 150 speeches annually to ten's of thousands of attendees at business, trade association, and government agency meetings every year.

When I visited all vineyards one last time before our summer trip to the U.S. and Canada I tasted the first Bacchus berry tasting like Bacchus. That was yesterday. Harvest is getting closer and it looks like it's going to kick in a bit sooner than usual. It's hard to imagine a better growing weather than we had the last weeks: tons of rain always followed by warm/hot days. We only mulched once this year and didn't plow anything which I'm very glad about looking back. There is a strong vegetation growing in the rows preventing erosion and absorbing some of the water (should slow down growth at least a little bit).
The Regent started turning red/blue already, it's been growing strongly but the yield will be low due to the frost damage. Talking about frost: while the Regent is just 3-4 grapes per vine constantly two Müller-Thurgau vineyards go from extreme to extreme.
While some vines are beautifully green carrying no fruit at all there are also vines being almost overloaded.
What is a bit concerning currently is the high potential for Botrytis trouble I can already see out there. The vine moths (lobesia botrana and eupoecilia ambiguella) have been celebrating a big party this year. The first generation of worms was not really a problem but now the second generation is out. It's still just few berries (in many grapes though) and a dry August could turn the damaged berries into raisins. But humidity would turn those few berries into epicenters of rot. It was recommended to the organic growers to spray Bt which we didn't – now fingers crossed.
Even more important to get enough air floating around the grapes which is why we have spent a lot of time over the last months keeping the vines airy and now do remove all leaves in the grape zone at least for the reds (Schwarzriesling in the picture below).
Every year it's a strange feeling leaving the vineyards behind but we have to get out a little bit before a likely crazy harvest will start early September.


The clutch plate serves as a friction element between the friction plate and the compressing element of the pressure plate, transferring the engine torque moment to the gearbox input shaft.
The type of clutch lining deployed is the determining factor for transfer of the engine torque moment and the durability of the driver plate. Therefore only clutch linings of the very best quality are deployed in our manufacturing processes. A close collaboration with lining manufacturers ensures that the correct linings are used to fulfil all our clients' specific requirements.
This applies particularly to "problem vehicles" (where the linings are "plucked" or require additional durability). Use of special linings is recommended to reduce or alleviate the problem.


McGregor banned for 2 games but apparently can play tomorrow and appeal on Monday.
What a joke that panel is, yeah McGregor probably deserved to get cited for that, but how can they miss Fergusons challenge on McGregor and let's not forget Burkes dive for the mhanks when he went down about 10 seconds later.
Bobby Madden has stated he did not see Alan McGregor challenge and therefore the incident could be reviewed lol WTF . Madden was looking right at the incident and couldn't not have seen the challenge?!?! How could he not see this?
Scotty, need to learn the rules, Burke cannot be challenged as he never gained a free kick or penalty.
Mcgregor deserves ban and so does Alf. Could have missed worse games. Note Morelos only two bookings away from further three game ban.
Jboy I never mentioned Burke. you need to learn to read lol I'm well aware of the rules mate.
Please explain why McGregor deserves a ban and so does Alf?
Jboy you got to be joking at no point did morelos use excessive force or use a stamping motion on McKenna, madden is looking straight at McGregor challenge and didn't deem it a foul so shouldn't have been challenged.
The way things are going Morelos will probably miss 5 or 6 games out of the next 10 or so. Good job Defoe is there. Hitting form at ecactly the right time.
We've got to stop weakening our team through stupidity. Magregor no need to take Ferguson out the way he did. Morelos knows if he gives refs a chance then he's off the park. I still think we've got enough to win games without these guys but let's learn lessons and keep our best team on the park.
Soz Scotty. Blue tinted glasses guys, unfortunately bans are merited.
Hope the SFA view the challenge Ferguson made on McGregor.
Copland. They can't do anything about Ferguson as he was booked at the time and the ref was satisfied that waa sufficient.

10 Facts About Switzerland That Changed Our Opinion About This Country
It's well-known that in Switzerland there are reliable banks, a lot of chocolate, and the Swiss Alps mountain range where cows give the best milk in the world. But these are not the most amazing things that you will discover about Switzerland. Do you know that this country has the most liberal gun laws, that bribes are legal, and that fines are based on your income? And these are not even the strangest things.
We at Bright Side have collected 10 facts which will show Switzerland from a totally unexpected side.
1. The country without a capital and a president
There is no president or capital of Switzerland, but there are 4 official languages in the country.

The citizens have the right to cancel any law that the parliament passes and there have never been any racial conflicts in Switzerland.
2. The most liberal law about guns
Many people think that Switzerland is the country of pacifists because it remains neutral in any military conflict. But this is not entirely true.

The military service for men there is obligatory and it starts at the age of 18. The biggest part of the male population is in the army reserve, that's why men have weapons at home and are ready to use them at any moment.
There are 8 million people in the country and 4 million guns (that's 50 guns for every 100 people). However, the crime rate in Switzerland is one of the lowest in the world. And alcohol is sold only until 10:00 p.m.

There are currently 389 inmates in Florida prisons awaiting the death penalty, the second-highest number of any state in the union.
If the Florida Supreme Court agrees with a cadre of lawyers working on their behalf, every single one of them may see their death sentence whipped out replaced with life in prison without parole.
It's the latest domino to fall after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in January that Florida's death penalty sentencing system was unconstitutional. Most states require a unanimous decision of a jury to impose the death penalty. Not Florida. It merely required a simple majority.
In fact, the final decision on the ultimate punishment was, by law, not even the jury's to make. Legally, judges only had to consider a jury's decision as a suggestion. It was rare for a judge to totally ignore the jury's input, but the Supreme Court's decision stems from an incident in which a judge handed down a death penalty even though only 7 out of 12 members of the jury recommended it.
Of course, that ruling means Florida now has to decide what to do with the nearly 400 individuals left on Death Row who were sentenced under the old guidelines.
"Commute the sentences," says the group of lawyers. The group includes three former state Supreme Court justices and two former presidents of the American Bar Association, among other high profile legal minds. They've filed an amicus brief pointing to an obscure 1972 Florida law.
That long-forgotten law was passed by the legislature at the time in anticipation of a day when the Supreme Court could strike down all death penalty laws nationwide. The Florida law automatically commutes death row sentences to life sentences in the case of such a major Supreme Court decision.
But attorneys representing Florida argue that each the U.S. Supreme Court's decision should not be retroactively applied to every inmate on death row, and instead should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The Florida Supremes will continue to hear arguments about how the federal court's decision should be applied.
State lawmakers, however, have already put a new system in place. Now 10 of 12 members of a jury must recommend the death penalty. That's still not exactly in line with the rest of the nation — in the vast majority of other states, all 12 jury members must agree unanimously.

Q: Visual Studio cross compiling with gcc/gdb within vmware -> memory access error I have configured visual studio to compile my files via GCC within Linux over the new Linux compiler feature (cross compiling).
Everything works: VS compiles and also creates the correct files on my hosting Linux system. So I have created a virtual machine. I am now facing the problem that I don't have access to the virtual machines memory I guess.
This message pops up every time I try to run my program:
Programm
int main()
{
    return 0;
}

Message
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint -1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x530

I thought oh well I just need to run visual studio as admin but did not work.

A: To clarify, VCLinux is not a cross-compiler, it simply builds and executes an application on a target Linux system under the control of Visual Studio. There is no need to run as administrator on the Windows host or root on the Linux target (unless your application needs root permissions and even then it's something to to avoid).
Is there a difference between the "hosting Linux system" and the "virtual machine" you created. I would expect them to be one and the same but the order in which you refer to them is unusual.
You say that your Visual Studio project is building under VCLinux. So, on the Linux target, was a directory for the project created with a sub-directory bin/x32/Debug (or bin/x64/Debug) with an executable <project name>.out (or similar)? In which case all the basic connecting and communication is working fine.
What happens when you log on to the Linux system and run that executable 1)directly from the command line and 2)under gdb ?
Did you set the project as the VS Startup Project (right-click on project)? Does the "debug" button on the VS toolbar show Remote GDB Debugger?
