If you do a Google search for concert stadium collapse you get the following headlines – Brazil car race 2010, Indiana State Fair 2011, Radiohead concert stage collapse Toronto 2012 – and dozens of others.
People in emergency services are paid to dream up worst-case scenarios, prepare for them, and then hope they don't happen.
Which is why on tiny Prince Edward Island, police, fire, EMS and other agencies have instituted a multi-agency incident-command system (ICS) for the annual Cavendish Beach Music Festival.
I was invited last July by PEI Fire Marshal Dave Rossiter to tour the festival grounds and learn about incident command for mass gatherings. One of the incident commanders on site, Rossiter said, would be RCMP Cpl. Scott Stevenson, with whom I had grown up in Sydney. N.S., and who is the island's RCMP ident specialist.
Thousands of Canadian communities host summer festivals. With those events come the risk of terrorism, disease spread, fire and catastrophe.
As we all knew but heard loudly and clearly in Elliot Lake, Ont., last summer during the inquiry into the collapse of the Algo Centre mall, impeccable on-scene communication is vital to a rescue operation or any other emergency. When the emergency involves tens of thousands of people, it's even more critical that all responding agencies speak the same language.
Stevenson and his festival counterparts use ICS (www.icscanada.com), one of several incident-command or incident-management programs available to responders.
I was working on this issue of the magazine during the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs conference in May, at which Fire Marshal Ted Wieclawek noted the confusion during the Elliot Lake inquiry over incident command programs and the provincial incident management system (IMS).
"It seemed," Wieclawek said, "that anyone who got up [on the stand] had a slightly different spin to the point where the commissioner was saying, 'Someone please explain to me what is IMS and what is incident command?' "
Presumably, the confusion will work itself out soon as Wieclawek is chairing a committee (with five sub-committees) to review the role of IMS and responding agencies in emergencies.
There were no emergencies at the Cavendish Beach Music Fest last summer – some minor incidents and a lot of paperwork – but had there been, all responders would have been crystal clear on their roles because they knew each other, worked and trained together. Imagine that.
Due to an editing error, the Understanding Flow Paths story in the May issue wrongly stated the number of firefighters who escaped the Forward Avenue fire in Ottawa in 2007; five firefighters jumped from fourth-floor windows.

Q1. How are information system and capability related to each other ?
Q2. Which of the following is not a major design consideration of the system?
Q5. Studying in detail the information needs of users and any information system presently used.


On 26 June 2014 the 9th Physiological Support Squadron held a change of command ceremony at Beale Air Force Base in Northern California. Lt Col Brian T. Musselman passed his command via Col. Jody L. Ocker, Commander, 9th Medical Group to the new and current commander of the 9th PSPTS Lt. Col. Lance Annicelli.
Sage Cheshire Aerospace has collaborated with the 9th PSPTS on high-altitude projects and our technology is helping train a new generation of high-flying pilots anticipate and mitigate risk in the lethal environment in which they operate.
The 9th PSPTS does amazing work around the globe and we support their mission with practical lessons learned on Stratos as well as with realistic training mockups. The origins of physiological support of high-altitude reconnaissance can be traced back to the 1950s when the U-2 first went into service, venturing past the Armstrong line where humans cannot exist without the proper equipment.
There are many specialty units like the 9th PSPTS in our armed forces and they don't always get the credit they deserve. Congratulations to outgoing Commander Lt Col Brian Musselman on a job well done and sincere wishes to incoming Commander Lt Col Lance Annicelli for success in your new post.
The U2 fuselage mock up built at Sage Cheshire Aerospace. Studies from testing conducted on Red Bull Stratos with the Sage Cheshire Aerospace science and engineering team along with chief physiologist Dr. Andrew Pilmanis contributed to changes on high altitude flight profiles. Operating with higher cabin altitude pressure as on the Red Bull Stratos capsule has reduced DCS decompression sickness for long high altitude flights.

Marble fireplace surrounds have been the heart of privileged households for hundreds of years. A Marble, Travertine or Limestone fireplace will last forever and will bring your room alive with its beauty and sophistication. Your fireplace will last for many years and will not deteriorate as would a wooden mantle or surround. It is very strong and durable and most of all elegantly appealing appearing ageless. Travertine and Limestone are beautiful natural materials offering a fireplace that is unique, each having its own natural variation in shading and markings.
All fireplaces manufactured in Travertine and Limestone have shading, veining, fossils, colour variation and crystal markings. This natural stone is cut straight from the earth. The stone is sedimentary formed over approximately 50 million years. The characteristic coloured veins are intermingled with fossils of plants and animal life all add to the individuality of the wonderful material. To find blooms, lighter or darker veins, "wisps" of fossilised fern leaves & other unique features are not considered defects, but are part of the natural beauty the earth brings. This is the beauty of a natural stone. Factory Fireplace Outlet offers Marble, Travertine and Limestone fireplace surrounds that are all hand made by our team of craftsmen and are designed by our very own artists. Artistic designs can be incorporated in all our fireplaces; our only limit is your imagination. Many different colours of marble can be chosen, to fit perfectly into your existing decor. Call us for advice on selecting the right finish for your home.
All our fireplaces are delivered to you in separate pieces to reduce damage. Our surrounds are very easily assembled, and in most cases an engineer is not required to install your marble or limestone surround. You would, of course, require a Gas Safe registered installer for your gas fire, or HETAS engineer for solid fuel. Ask for details if you are not sure.
Although we do not advertise our range of electric, gas and solid fuel fires on the internet, we deal with all the major manufacturers and suppliers, and are therefore in a position to supply you with almost any fire you choose. Why not call our team on 01274 689066 for more information.
Because of the natural stone qualities, all our marble fireplace surrounds are naturally resistant to heat and fire. Designed to fit in any area, we are one of the leading custom designers for marble fireplace surrounds so we can easily customise any fireplace surround to fit your exact dimensional and fire type requirements. When looking for a solid fuel fireplace, be sure to mention this to our advisors as there are certain regulatory requirements, eg. Expansion slots in the hearth and the need for the surround to be slabbed. Choosing a marble fireplace from Factory Fireplace Outlet is easy, just pick your style, size and colour, let us contact you to discuss your needs and we arrange the delivery with our own vehicles.
This is accomplished by the use of our online designer and the fact that we contact you directly, before confirming your order, to ensure that you have considered all the options such as type of flue, chimney breast, carpet cut-outs, choice of fuel, design of fire, etc. We will then build your fireplace to your desired criteria.

New Survey Reports Arizonans' Strong Opinions about Value of Arts
According to Arizonans Speak Out About the Arts in 2018, a new report on a recent national poll, Arizonans exceed the national average in how positively they view the value of arts and arts education, as well as the contributions the arts make to the workplace, tourism, and livability of their communities.
The poll was conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs on behalf of Americans for the Arts during the week of May 9‐16, 2018. To ensure precision in the findings, a sample of 3,023 adults were interviewed online (by way of comparison, the typical national political poll has a sample size of just 1,000 adults). Arizona was one of eight states where additional polling was conducted.
"The results of this survey tell a familiar story, one we hear daily as we work with Arizonans to ensure access to the arts for all: the arts are a vital resource, connecting us to each other, expanding our horizons, and strengthening our communities," said Jaime Dempsey, Executive Director of the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
"When 79% of Arizonans say the arts have a social impact and improve the livability of their community, they are speaking from personal experience. Those 80 percent of Arizonans who believe the arts help students perform better academically have likely witnessed the myriad benefits of arts-based learning in their own families. When 87% of Arizonans say the arts attract travelers and are good for tourism, it's not an assumption, it's an observation. Arizonans have spoken clearly here. They value the arts and believe creativity is a key ingredient in our state's future prosperity," she said.
82% of Arizonans believe the arts provide meaning to their lives (73% national average).
80% believe the arts help students perform better academically (74% nationally); 70% believe the arts improve healing and the healthcare experience (68% nationally), and 54% agree the arts are helpful to military personnel transitioning back to civilian life (46% nationally.)
Arizona residents stand out as being especially likely to agree that the arts have a social impact and improve the quality and livability of their community (79% vs. 71% nationally).
People in Arizona also are more likely to be personally involved in artistic activities as arts makers (63%) than American adults nationally (47%).
About half of adults in Arizona think federal spending per person on nonprofit arts organizations is not enough (48%), and most disapprove of government proposals to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts, including 50% who strongly disapprove.
Arizonans also support state funding for the arts (67%) and funding from their local governments (71%). More than a third (38%) agreed they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supported the arts.
65% of Arizonans see the arts as part of a well-rounded education (61% nationally).
In Arizona, there is consensus when it comes how the arts impact tourism, with almost nine-in-ten adults in agreement that the arts attract travelers and are good for tourism (87%).
"The survey underscores that Arizonans specifically and Americans generally are highly engaged in the arts which promote personal well-being, help us understand other cultures and are key to a solid K-12 education," said Catherine "Rusty" Foley, executive director of Arizona Citizens for the Arts. "Clearly, Arizonans also believe the state and local government has a critical role in funding the arts, and that political candidates that support the arts are more likely to earn their vote," she added.
"This survey demonstrates numerically what those of us involved in the arts know intrinsically," said Becky Daggett, Interim Executive Director at the Flagstaff Arts Council. "The responses from Arizonans are particularly heartening and exciting. Arizona enjoys a wealth of creative talent and a wonderful diversity of culture, thought, and artistic traditions. I count Flagstaff as one of the drivers of this creative culture!"
Cindy Ornstein, Executive Director of Mesa Arts Center and Director of Arts and Culture for the City of Mesa, agreed, emphasizing that the response is particularly compelling "in times of great division when over 80 percent of Arizonans believe the arts help unify us across differences. It bodes well for our state that 74 percent of Arizonans polled—14 percent more than the national average—believe that the more creative they are at their job—individually or as part of a team—the more successful they are in the workplace. These two data points position our region for advancement and growth as a place where arts and culture help people find common ground and support the success of individuals and communities."

Without being hypercritical, it occured to me that the PRA appear to be keeping materials and opinions "on the downsie" at a time where perhaps the industry would benefit from their overexposure, and I can't work out why.
The Internal Model Validation presentation delivered by a PRA representative to the Institute of Risk Management's Solvency II group, which publicly elaborates on the topic more than anything I have seen on the PRA site.
The apparent failure of the PRA to follow their own Terms of Reference for their recently convened Regulatory Reporting Industry Working Group by not publishing the minutes of the December meeting yet. The TORs say 10+2 working days, and I can't find them anywhere!
The almost diametrically opposed position which BaFin have taken over in Germany, where they unequivocally lay out their intentions regarding "comply or explain".
Insurers should "immediately take the necessary steps" to implement the Preparatory Guidelines.
That "undertakings are effectively the target audience" for the Preparatory Guidance, which I am delighted to see acknowledged publicly by such a significant participant.
It is up to each insurer to determine the order of their implementation activity prior to 2016.
That, for the benefit of the industry, BaFin have carved up the Guidance into 15 blocks, and will provide "additional information and tips" periodically over the next two years.
That a special activity for Life Insurers will take place, one suspects in order to help identify the capital shortfalls hinted at at the back end of last year for those with high cost of guarantees.
That everyone is expected to participate in the QRT exercise, ignoring the thresholds offered by EIOPA to the NCAs.
That they will be translating any EIOPA texts released prior to 2016 in English-only into German.
Whilst it may be a case of thinking das gras ist grüner, it would be easy to envy the German contingent when offered this level of disclosure and certainty in dealing with the preparatory phase. What say you, Moorgate?


Hosted PBX systems are the new wave of telecommunications. Read about what you need to know here.
The changing face of business has made it necessary for new technology to connect your team to each other and your customers. With the rise of freelancers and people who work from home, the traditional phone systems don't always work.
This is why 65 percent of businesses surveyed have switched to hosted PBX services. A hosted system allows you more flexibility to take advantage of non-traditional work environments.
PBX stands for private branch exchange. This is a private phone network that makes it easier for a company to route and transfer calls when they have multiple lines.
A PBX system gives you the ability to connect more phone lines. This system also allows free calls between users. This makes it easier to stay connected with your team.
PBX systems are a great alternative to traditional phone lines as they allow for more lines and more features. New technology has increased your PBX options.
You can set-up PBX systems in-house or use a host to provide service. The traditional service requires you to get all the equipment necessary to host your network on-site. Hosted PBX means the network is hosted from outside.
Hosted PBX systems remove the need for in-house equipment and maintenance. The system is hosted by a third-party vendor.
The host has all the equipment necessary to run your PBX system. They take care of all maintenance of the system, eliminating the need for a dedicated IT staff. The host also handles all call routing.
Hosted PBX requires internet service to work. Your systems are connected to the hosting call center through IP networks. This means you must have internet access to run the system.
A hosted phone system makes it easier to access the features of a PBX system though. It also removes many of the headaches involved with a private exchange system.
A hosted phone system increases your options as a business owner or manager. You gain more accessibility with fewer costs than traditional systems. What does this look like for your business though?
With a hosted PBX system, you can eliminate the cost of in-house hardware and software to run your network. You also eliminate the cost of regular maintenance to your system.
A hosted system allows you to pay a monthly fee for someone else to take care of all the equipment and keep the system running smoothly. You also get many features included for no additional costs.
You can also reduce the cost of switching out phones. As long as your phone has internet access, you can use it with a hosted PBX system.
A hosted system means all the set-up is done for you. This cuts down on the need to learn and train employees on how to transfer.
You don't have to wait to get a system set-up in house either. This means you can access your system in less time than a traditional system. You can usually get up and running within a day.
You provide the information and everything is set up for you. You also have easy access to the system set-up so you can make changes without a need to take your system off-line.
A hosted PBX system allows employees to work from anywhere and stay connected to the system. As long as their phone line is connected to the call center, calls are easily routed to employees wherever they are.
This opens up opportunities to stay connected with traveling employees or those that work from home. There's no need for extra numbers. There's no need for multiple calls if a customer is trying to reach someone.
A hosted system also makes your employees more accessible to you. With conference calls and data sharing, you can easily stay connected.
Businesses deal with plenty of changes, especially in employees. With a hosted system, it's easier to add or remove a line if you have changes in the number of employees.
Most services can host up to 300 lines at a time, so adding lines is simple for a growing company. You can also easily change the routing information if you need to. This makes it easier for companies to grow and shift without added burden.
You can also easily add new features as they become available or as your needs change. The process to add new features is simple with a hosted system, so you don't have to take up valuable time. It's also easy to remove a feature if you find you don't need it.
With the ease of set-up and maintenance, you don't have to worry about interruptions or wasted time trying to figure your system out. You also have easy access to a customer service team if you have any questions or concerns.
A hosted PBX system also provides more features, most coming with the plan without additional cost. This cloud system gives you the features available with traditional systems such as call waiting, call routing, call transfers, and voicemail.
These features make it easier to stay connected as a team. This also helps you monitor the system with easy to read reports.
Hosted systems can also easily integrate with CRM systems. This makes it easier to keep up with customer information.
As businesses learn the benefits of a hosted PBX system, more of them will begin to make the switch. If you want to stay up-to-date, it might be time for you to make the switch too.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (Kobo eBook)
By Rachel Joyce
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
"[Rachel] Joyce's beguiling debut is [a] modest-seeming story of 'ordinary' English lives that enthralls and moves you as it unfolds."—People (four stars)
Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning a letter arrives, addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl, from a woman he hasn't heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye. But before Harold mails off a quick reply, a chance encounter convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. In his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold Fry embarks on an urgent quest. Determined to walk six hundred miles to the hospice, Harold believes that as long as he walks, Queenie will live. A novel of charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise—and utterly irresistible—storyteller.
Praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
"[A] gorgeously poignant novel of hope and transformation."—O: The Oprah Magazine
"A cause for celebration . . . [Joyce] has a lovely sense of the possibilities of redemption. In this bravely unpretentious and unsentimental take, she's cleared space where miracles are still possible."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is not just a book about lost love. It is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Jorge Luis Pupo Carballo (* 14. Februar 1982 in Pinar del Río) ist ein kubanischer Wasserspringer, der im Kunstspringen vom 1-m- und 3-m-Brett und im 3-m-Synchronspringen antritt.

Pupo begann im Alter von sieben Jahren mit dem Wasserspringen. Im Jahr 1999 wurde er in die Nationalmannschaft aufgenommen, seit 2002 bestreitet er schließlich kontinentale Wettbewerbe und Wettbewerbe des FINA-Diving-Grand Prix. Pupo startete bei den Panamerikanischen Spielen 2007 in Rio de Janeiro und erreichte als bestes Ergebnis vom 3-m-Brett Rang zehn. Im folgenden Jahr nahm er in Peking erstmals an den Olympischen Spielen teil, belegte vom 3-m-Brett aber nur Rang 27 im Vorkampf. Wiederum ein Jahr darauf bestritt er in Rom seine erste Weltmeisterschaft und konnte vom 3-m-Brett das Halbfinale erreichen, wo er 13. wurde. Er gewann im Jahr 2010 seinen ersten nationalen Titel.

Pupo nahm auch an der Weltmeisterschaft 2011 in Shanghai teil, schied jedoch im Einzel- und mit Deiné Castellanos im Synchronwettbewerb vom 3-m-Brett jeweils nach dem Vorkampf aus. In Guadalajara errang Pupo bei den Panamerikanischen Spielen seinen bislang größten sportlichen Erfolg. Im 3-m-Synchronspringen gewann er mit René Hernández die Bronzemedaille.

What could be the problem?

A: I found the solution. The issue was I was seed the database with the script from the sql file.
context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(File.ReadAllText(baseDir + "\\data.sql"));

The insert contains
ALTER TABLE country DISABLE TRIGGER ALL;
INSERT INTO country .......

So the sequence current value was not updating. Current value remained 1.So when I inserted with application. Autoincrment become 1 hence PostgresException: 23505: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "PK_country".
Resolution
After ALTER TABLE country ENABLE TRIGGER ALL; add SELECT pg_catalog.setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('country', 'country_id'), MAX(country_id)) FROM country;
Now it application run successifully.
Hope help someone else.

A: Even though the solution here was already found, the question does not specify that you load the data from some .sql file. If you had been loading the data in the following way, this would have also generated the same error:
_context.Add(new Country { CountryId = 0, CountryName = "MyCountry" });
_context.Add(new Country { CountryId = 1, CountryName = "MyCountry" });

The reason is, that (I don't know why) the first row will have CountryId = 1 and the second one also CountryId = 1. Which leads to duplicate key value.
This happens with:

DENVER — Four Colorado Republican lawmakers on Thursday brought their ideas to the White House on punishing so-called sanctuary cities, hoping to build on the Trump administration's lawsuit challenging California laws it says protect immigrants in the country illegally.
State Rep. Dave Williams said he advocated for holding individual cities and their policymakers personally liable during a meeting with the White House Domestic Policy Council. The Colorado Springs Republican says he hopes U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions follows up on the California lawsuit this week with similar legal actions against municipalities.
Williams said he also called for more immigration agents in Colorado — and that White House advisers were receptive to his suggestions. Lawmakers from Ohio also attended the meeting, he said.
The Democratic mayor of Denver has limited co-operation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Police policy is to notify ICE when immigrants, who are suspected of being in the country illegally, are to be released from city jails, but they refuse to grant access to jail cells. Mayor Michael Hancock and other officials have criticized the presence of ICE agents in courthouses and raids near public schools.
The Trump administration last year threatened to withhold federal funding for police programs in Denver and other sanctuary cities. A federal judge permanently blocked the effort after a lawsuit.
But that didn't stop President Donald Trump from calling for Congress to pass legislation that would strip funding from localities that don't co-operate with federal immigration authorities.
"They want the money, they should give up on the sanctuary cities. It harbours horrible criminals," he said Thursday at a White House Cabinet meeting.
Trump also lambasted Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for recently warning the public about an unannounced raid by federal immigration officers. Sessions said in a speech in California on Wednesday that Schaaf's action allowed hundreds of "wanted criminals" to avoid arrest.
Williams, the Colorado lawmaker who is of Hispanic heritage, has introduced state legislation to make city and law enforcement officials liable for crimes committed by immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
The measure would allow the victims of such crimes to seek damages from "officials of the jurisdiction who were responsible for creating the policy to operate as a sanctuary jurisdiction." Officials could face up to $700,000 in civil damages.
Democrats and others challenge the legality of Williams' proposal — much like California Gov. Jerry Brown, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and others nationwide did in reaction to the Sessions' lawsuit.
Brown says the state is on firm legal ground with laws that limit police and employers' co-operation with federal immigration agents and require state inspections of federal detention facilities.
Associated Press writers Jill Colvin in Washington, Don Thompson in Sacramento and Sudhin Thanawala in San Francisco contributed to this report.


New notifications of HIV (the Human Immunodeficiency Virus) have — overall — stabilised in recent years. But HIV diagnoses have also increased in some population groups.
Australia has made great progress in HIV prevention within the gay community. For example, HIV diagnoses in gay and bisexual men in NSW in the first half of 2017 decreased by 31%.
HIV diagnoses in 2017 among heterosexual people, however, grew by 29%.
The rate of HIV diagnosis is also 2.2 times higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than among non-indigenous people born in Australia.
It's never been easier to get tested for HIV.
The Dried Blood Spot (DBS) test can be done at home by NSW residents, aged 16 years and over, who are at higher risk of HIV — including heterosexual people. It detects both HIV and hepatitis C, and is free, easy and confidential.
You simply order a DBS kit online here, collect a few drops of blood from your finger, then return the test to a laboratory in a reply-paid envelope.
If you are not eligible for the test kit (check your eligibility here), or if you live outside NSW, you can see your GP or visit any sexual health clinic for a standard HIV test. Use the healthdirect service finder to locate a clinic near you, including clinics that bulk bill.
Condoms and water-based lube When used correctly, they stop body fluids passing between partners and are most effective when paired with water- or silicone-based lubricants which, unlike an oil-based lube, won't damage the condom.
Low or no-risk sexual practices You can still do plenty of things with a partner that pose no or low risk of HIV transmission. Visit the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (AFAO) to find out more.
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) A pill that's taken once a day by HIV-negative people to help prevent them from acquiring HIV. PrEP was recently added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), making it much cheaper for Medicare card holders.
PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) A treatment taken for 1 month to prevent HIV acquisition in a person who may have been exposed to the virus. While it can still be effective if started within 72 hours (3 days), it's most effective if started within 24 hours of exposure.
TasP (treatment as prevention) These treatments suppress the level of HIV (known as 'viral load') in an HIV-positive person so their immune system is healthy, and they have an undetectable viral load. This means it's extremely unlikely the person will be able to pass HIV on to a partner.
If you're concerned you may have been exposed to HIV, visit the Get PEP site, visit your nearest hospital emergency department or sexual health clinic, or see your GP as soon as possible.
Speak to a registered nurse on the healthdirect helpline: 1800 022 222 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).

Deep within each of us, there is a well of love – a place of wholeness, a place of completeness. This sacred well is alive with wisdom and tenderness… it is where Perfect Love resides.
At times we glimpse this love, perhaps in a child's embrace or through the unsolicited kindness of strangers. Sometimes though, it is young love that prompts us to dream.
Today I share a personal story with the hope that it warms your heart as it has mine.
In just a few weeks, one of my sons is getting married. His love story began more than thirty years ago when his bride-to-be and he were just toddlers in upstate New York. They were inseparable at the time, but when her family moved to Kenya, the two lost track of each other and went their own ways.
Years passed, but then on a warm summer evening, the bride's mom called me. I was living in California at the time, and she had returned to Pennsylvania. Over the intervening years, both of us had become single parents.
My friend explained that her daughter was working in the desert, a few hours from me. She wondered if I could check on her, and of course I said I would – and did.
At a nearby university, my son was finishing his senior year. I thought perhaps he would like to contact his childhood friend, but he showed little interest.
Unbeknownst to either my friend or me, however, our youngsters had decided to meet.
It seems they vaguely recalled their early love, but they did not want their mothers to know. And so, they secretly met over the months that followed, and much like when they were babes, they laughed and played. Finally, they shared their joy with us; they had rekindled their love.
I'm reminded of a quote by C.S. Lewis: Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
Sometimes we need to be reminded of the miracles of life.....don't you agree?
Gwen, thank you for sharing this sweet love story. I was drawn to your post by the title and you have delivered! Yes, it is uplifting to be reminded of miracles such as this!
That's wonderful - congratulations to them on re-finding each other. I love seeing the miracles around us!

Darrell Waltrip on racing hurt: 'NASCAR has to save us from ourselves'
By Kelly CrandallAug 17, 2016, 6:13 PM EDT
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
CHARLOTTE — With Dale Earnhardt Jr. set to miss his fifth Sprint Cup Series race this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, the concussion discussion continues around NASCAR.
Three-time champion Darrell Waltrip said he doesn't know all the particulars around Earnhardt's injury but noted how far the sport has come with making it easier for a driver to miss races while recovering from an injury.
"You got to remember something, our sport was so different not so terribly long ago," Waltrip said Tuesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame after helping reveal Matt Kenseth's throwback paint scheme for the Southern 500. "If you missed a race, you were done. You couldn't miss a race and win the championship because you'd miss one race and that's 185 points, and it's hard to make that up. So we got in those cars. I know I did, I know Dale (Earnhardt) did, Rusty (Wallace), Bill (Elliott), all of us got in those cars when we shouldn't have been in them, but we had to. We didn't have any choice."
Ricky Rudd was one of the most famous drivers who raced injured. In 1984, Rudd was hurt in a wreck during the Busch Clash, but he would run the Daytona 500 with his eyes duct-taped open. Rudd was also in attendance on Tuesday and said, "No, not all," when asked if there was any hesitation to running the Daytona 500 the way he did.
"It's good to see they've caught up with the other sports now," Rudd said of NASCAR. "A driver didn't use to have the luxury or the option of sitting out a race. Your championship season was over if that happened, so the system wasn't set up for it back in the day."
The 2014 revamping of the playoffs tied Chase for the Sprint Cup berths to wins, allowing drivers to be granted waivers permitting them to compete for the title despite missing races with injuries in the regular season. Kyle Busch won the 2015 championship despite missing the first 11 races with a broken right leg and fractured left foot, and Tony Stewart will make this year's playoff after being sidelined for the first eight races with a fractured back.
"The way things are set up today, they're set up to take care of these guys," Waltrip said. "NASCAR has to help keep us from hurting ourselves, because we'll get back in the car no matter what. We'll get back in the car with a broken leg, broken arm, concussion, whatever, because that's how we think.
"NASCAR has to save us from ourselves a lot of times. As much as we don't like it and sometimes you think, 'Oh that's not fair, I didn't have it that way,' but in all honesty, it's the best it's probably ever been."
Jeff Gordon, Waltrip's broadcast partner at Fox, has driven the No. 88 for Earnhardt in three of the last four races. He will back behind the wheel on Saturday night in Bristol. There is no telling how long Gordon will stay in the car, and Waltrip knows Earnhardt wants to return to racing when he's able.
There is a concern, however, about a driver's long-term health and wellness. Waltrip described Sprint Cup cars as "violent" because their handling relies more heavily on bump stops than the springs more commonly used in his era. That does have an impact on drivers, Waltrip believes.
Regardless, Waltrip said it's not for anyone to speculate whether Earnhardt Jr. should or shouldn't get back behind the wheel.
"You have to know everything there is to know to say (Earnhardt Jr.) should or shouldn't consider driving in the future," Waltrip said. "I don't know what his situation is. I do know this, though: I watch those cars, and I know when you have a wreck and you hit the wall, you have an impact from that. But the way those cars are set up these days riding on the bump stops, basically all you have for springs are your tires, and you watch those cars go around the racetrack, any racetrack, even a smooth one, and the driver's head is always bobbling a little bit. It's always kind of moving around a little bit.
"You got those headrests right there, and you're not violently hitting them, but you're bumping your head back and forth. And if you've had concussions, and maybe it doesn't take much to give you another one, that could be an issue. The cars ride rough … when they sit on those bump stops you're basically riding on the tires, and all that comes right back to the driver, and he's constantly being vibrated. It could take its toll."

Attorney-Client Privilege in Probate Litigation
Death, Lawyers, and Loose Lips: Third District Court of Appeals Clarifies Distinction Between Ethical duty of Confidentiality from Evidentiary Privilege
The attorney client privilege dates back to the English Common Law of the late sixteenth century making it the first privilege the law recognized for confidential communication. For example, see Dennis v. Codrington, 21 Eng.Rep. 53 (1580) (finding "A counselor not to be examined of any matter, wherein he hath been of counsel"). Thus, it is generally accepted by Florida probate lawyers that the ethical rule of attorney-client confidentiality limits disclosure of information acquired during the scope of the representation. The only exception is where the client consents to the disclosure. Rule 4-1.6(a) of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct articulates the prohibition of disclosure of confidential information: "A lawyer must not reveal information relating to representation of a client…unless the client gives informed consent."
The sanctity of the protection is also codified in the Florida Evidence Code. Fla.Stat. 90.502 provides that both a lawyer and the client have a privilege to refuse to disclose, and to prevent any other person from disclosing, the contents of confidential communications when such other person learned of the communications because they were made in the rendition of legal services to the client. The official comments to Rule 4-1.6 make it clear that the lawyer has an ethical obligation to assert the evidentiary privilege on a client's behalf when it is applicable. Florida probate litigation involving will contests, trusts, and inheritance disputes frequently raises the issue of the scope and applicability of the lawyer's duty to protect communications with a deceased former client.
For example, in Vasallo v. Bean, 2016 WL 6249167, 41 Fla.L.Weekly D2407e (3rd DCA October 26, 2016), an action to revoke the probate of two wills was brought by four of the testator's children challenging the testamentary capacity of their mother and argued that the wills were the product of undue influence by a fifth child (the only named beneficiary in the challenged will). When the mother's estate planning lawyer who prepared the challenged wills was asked during a deposition to state the reasons for the mother's decision to disinherit her children so late in her life, the lawyer refused to answer questions. The probate lawyer claimed that it would be unethical for him to testify because the statements made to him were confidential under rule 4-1.6 of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
The Third District clarified this conundrum by pointing out the line of cases Florida holding that an attorney's testimony about a testamentary instrument drafted by her is not ordinarily privileged because of the exceptions to the privilege in 90.502(4)(b) (providing that "[t]here is no lawyer-client privilege under this section when:…a communication is relevant to an issue between parties who claim through the same deceased client."). The Court also noted that "[w]hen multiple parties claim through the same deceased client, as in a will contest or a challenge to testate or intestate succession, each party claims to best represent the interests of the deceased. To allow any or all parties to invoke the lawyer-client privilege prevents the swift resolution of the conflict and frustrates the public policy of expeditiously distributing estates in accordance with the testator's wishes."

6 NL East hitters who will torment Phillies pitchers in 2022

2. Ronald Acuña Jr., Atlanta Braves
The NL East wasn't the same without Ronald Acuña Jr., who tore his ACL right before the All-Star break.
However, his absence made life easier for the Phillies; he's hit .317/.410/.561 with a .971 OPS in 51 career games against them. His 60 hits include 13 doubles and 11 home runs, 39 runs scored, and 33 RBI. He's also 9-for-12 in stolen base attempts.
Against their current pitching staff, he has a lifetime .295/.441/.727 batting line and 1.168 OPS in 95 at-bats.
Acuña hits Aaron Nola especially hard; in 29 at-bats against him, he's hit a preposterous .379/.500/.793 with a 1.293 OPS, three doubles, and three home runs. Nola has walked him seven times, and struck him out nine times.
Zack Wheeler has fared slightly better; Acuña is *only* hitting .286/.310/.714 against him with a 1.025 OPS, but again, three doubles and three home runs. The key difference? Wheeler has only walked Acuña once in 28 at-bats.

"Oh my gosh, Harry! Just LOOK at those tomatoes. I've never seen anything like it."
Mrs. Peterson was just one of the many people at the Bridgeport Fair who was awed by the first prize, bright red, ten-inch wide tomatoes entered by Ford Corpa. The tomatoes, along with his foot-long peppers and four-inch fat carrots were probably the most exciting things that had happened to Bridgeport in years.
Ford's little shop, "Ford's Fruits and Veggies," was one of the main attractions of the town, growing steadily in wealth. Reporters came to get this fascinating success story for fillers in the news and nature specials. Ford opened up more shops and the money kept rolling in. He built up his business until it was a state-wide chain. His fruits were voted by USA Today to be the "Best in the Country , Maybe the World." Thousands of gardeners all over the country asked for gardening secrets, but Ford was a very quiet man who never got involved in anything, except once....
One of the more "interesting" stories of Bridgeport was the Sara Marley story. Sara was a very rich woman who had been murdered a few months before. Her son, Peter, was very close to her and vowed that he would find her killer. He hired private detectives, but they all told him that they needed to see the body in order to find out exactly how she had been killed. The problem was Peter, being very upset at the time of her death, had buried her right away. A few people didn't want Mrs. Marley exumed, for they thought that this would disturb her from peace. One of these people was Ford Corpa. He claimed that he had been close to her, though there was no real evidence of this, and fought Peter in court with expensive lawyers. Ford lost, and the body was dug up.
At the graveyard, shadowed by Ford's house, Peter and the detectives began to dig up Mrs. Marley. As they dug, a man drove in and excitedly announced that someone had confessed to her murder. The confessor was sent to jail for life but was released early and, rumor had it, the release was highly influenced by Ford's money.
In a few years, Ford's famous "Ford's Fruits and Veggies" had stores all over the East Coast, the
fastest growing chain since McDonald's. The story of Ford was never really reported in full. This is not to say that no one had tried, but Ford had professional "disinformation specialists," who made sure that no one obtained his full story. This fact didn't seem to surprise anyone except two reporters: Bill Woodwood and Ted Birdstein.
Bill and Ted hadn't had a real story in years. They thought big, and they were determined to report the story that was infamous for being impossible to get: the Corpa story. They soon discovered, quite easily, that the telephone would get them nowhere. They needed to go to Bridgeport. They first went to the Town Hall and asked for all of the information on Ford. The only thing that was recorded was Ford's fight, years ago, against the disinterment of Mrs. Marley. They recorded this, but they could only deduce that Ford had killed Mrs. Marley and paid off someone to confess. Unfortunately there was no real evidence of this and so they still did not have a story.
Although they had been warned by the town that "Mr. Corpa don't like visitors," the two storiless reporters decided to give his house a try. Bill commented on the oddity that Ford Corpa, one of the richest men in the country, who could have any house that he wanted, chose this eerie mansion next to a graveyard. As they rang his doorbell, two guards appeared and asked them if they had an appointment. They told him they were doing a documentary on Ford, and that Ford had told them they could interview him today (though this had only happened in Ted's dream). Without allowing protest, the guards told them harshly that they were not on the "list" (the guards made a point of showing the duo that the "list" was a blank sheet of lined paper) and that Mr. Corpa didn't like visitors.
This was the closest the two ever came to Ford. The only thing left for them to do was to snoop around the outside of the house for any leads. Avoiding all security cameras, the reporters carefully examined all of Ford's plants for gardening clues and even stole some soil from around the house. But their search was in vain. They still had no clues, leads, or anything real that they could publish, until one stroke of good luck fell their way. As they were walking through the graveyard to the car, Ted yelled, as his foot fell though the ground. Bill immediately pulled Ted up and they examined the hole.
Though they could see little without a flashlight, Bill tested its depth by dropping a penny in it. Listening intensely, they heard something very strange:
"...clink..."
Now if the sound had been a "thud," or a "splash," Bill and Ted would have thought nothing of it. But a "clink" meant something metal, something man-made was under the ground. This wasn't much, but it was out-of-the-ordinary. The hopeful reporters returned to their apartment.
"Here are all of the facts," Bill thought out loud, "Ford Corpa wants no one to know his success story: this leads me to believe he has something to hide. He gets involved with nothing save Mrs. Marley's unburying; he lives unnecessarily near a graveyard, which has some sort of pipe below it... which could be underground sprinklers for all we know, Ted! This story is getting nowhere,"
"No, wait!" exclaimed Ted. "There must be something about that graveyard. Everything about him relates to it. His factory in Maine...."
"Was right next to a graveyard!!" interrupted Bill. "We've been so blind! I'm going to get some shovels. Tonight we are going to dig up that hole and get to the bottom of this."
That evening Bill and Ted returned to that strange hole and began to dig it out. Shortly, they hit a big sheet of metal. After digging further, they found that it was a giant tube, large enough for a man to walk in.
"It's a tunnel of some sort..." Bill began.
"Of course!!" Ted shouted, too loudly. "This tunnel leads directly under the graveyard. Ford is tunneling under and stealing the bodies! That's why he didn't want them to dig up Sara Marley! But why?"
"Fertilizer!" Bill stated, "That's his secret! He uses them for fertilizer, which makes his foods grow!! We have it, Ford! I think we might have something!"
In a few weeks Bill and Ted returned with more men and bulldozers, and began to dig up a good portion of the tunnel. After burning open a hole, they found it was just the beginning of a whole maze of tunnels. After visiting the other factories they found the same thing there. Bill Woodwood and Ted Birdstein became household names and began their new life of fame and fortune. Ford Corpa, another household name, and plot for endless mini-series, was sent to prison for life. n

Casco Bay Estuary Partnership and the Waterfront Alliance would like to announce a series of audio/visual stories, called Wharfside, that illuminate the many facets of Portland Harbor's working waterfront. Learn about the Coast Guard staff in charge of keeping the lights burning at 22 lighthouses in Maine, spend a day on the water with SailMaine instructors and students on Casco Bay, meet a 92 year-old resident of Portland who has worked on Widgery Wharf for the past 66 years, and other stories of Portland Harbor's working waterfront.
Wharfside stories were produced by Galen Koch, and photography is by Justin Levesque and Jenny Rebecca Nelson. You can find all the Wharfside stories on the Wharfside site and soon on the Casco Bay Stories site.
Partner Profile: Friends of Casco Bay "Nitrogen Nabbing" Project
CBEP awarded the Friends of Casco Bay (FOCB) a Community Grant in 2016 to launch a "Nitrogen Nabbing" public education and volunteer monitoring effort. Conducted in partnership with the Maine DEP and City of South Portland, the program aimed at educating people about the role of excess nitrogen in the acidification of our coastal waters.
This water sampling "flash mob" helped FOCB and Maine DEP better understand nitrogen levels in Portland Harbor. On a rainy day in July 2016, 97 volunteers braved the weather and hung out over docks or trudged through mud to collect jars of seawater. These water samples were analyzed for total nitrogen.
Part of the rationale for launching this effort was to inform and refine DEP's model for nitrogen inputs as it develops nitrogen standards. One of the lessons learned was that large amounts of nitrogen enter the Bay through small urban streams and brooks.
You can learn more about this project on the FOCB website here.
2017 Community Grants Announced
CBEP announced its 2017 Casco Bay Community Grant awards. Six grant awards were made, for a total of $10,000, for projects in Brunswick, Chebeague Island, Harpswell, Phippsburg and Portland. Through the Casco Bay Community Grants program, CBEP seeks to encourage new partnerships and innovative projects that engage communities with Casco Bay and its watershed, and that are tied in with the 2016 Casco Bay Plan.
The following 2017 Community Grant awards were made:
Brunswick Junior High School, Connect Casco Bay: A seventh-grade team will engage in a four-week expeditionary learning unit to help students understand the fragility of Casco Bay and their duty to care for it.
Chebeague Island Community Association (CICA), Chebeague Island Aquaculture Festival: A one-day festival on the island will educate community members about aquaculture farms in the community, as well as raise awareness of the importance of quality to these operations.
Friends School of Portland, Intergenerational Investigation of the Casco Bay Watershed: Students will learn about and test water quality, and interview seniors about their connection to Casco Bay.
Harpswell Heritage Land Trust, Engaging Youth with a Junior Ranger Program: An initiative to engage local youth and families with Harpswell's coastal environment.
Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, Community Conservation of a Phippsburg Clam Flat: This project will bring together community partners to educate students about important natural resources and actions they can take to improve these resources.
Maine Coast Fishermen's Association, Climate Change through the Eyes of Shellfish Harvesters: A video will explore how environmental changes have impacted the Harpswell shellfishing industry.
Otter Brook, Harpswell. CBEP provided funding to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust in 2016 to help protect the Otter Brook corridor, a vital wildlife travel corridor that drains into important marine habitat for fisheries and waterfowl.
The CBEP 2017 Habitat Protection Fund will be announced shortly. CBEP will be offering grants from $500 to $10,000 per project to support the permanent protection of targeted habitats in the Casco Bay Watershed. Currently, a total of $25,000 is available for the 2017 grant round. Check the CBEP website over the next few weeks for that announcement.
Sediment Assessment Report Completed
Since 1991, Casco Bay Estuary Partnership has sponsored a monitoring program to track the concentrations of certain pollutants in sediments throughout Casco Bay to answer the following questions:
What are the concentrations of chemicals in Casco Bay sediments?
Are chemical concentrations in sediment high enough to harm marine life?
How have chemical concentrations in sediment in the Bay changed over time?
The completed fact sheet and report present and interpret the results from sediment monitoring conducted from 1991 through 2011, the most recent year for which data are available. The sediment data show that concentrations for legacy pollutants tend to be declining throughout the Bay.
CBEP's sediment monitoring program was associated with one of CBEP's priorities for watershed protection in the original Casco Bay Plan (1996; revised in 2006): to reduce toxic pollution to the Bay. Based, in part, on these monitoring results, CBEP's most recent Casco Bay Plan (2016) shifts priority from some of the legacy pollutants (e.g. DDT and PCBs) to ongoing and emerging sources of chemicals to the Bay (e.g. stormwater and nutrients).
You can find the full Sediment Assessment Fact Sheet on our website here and the full report will be available soon on our website.

MARTIN AMIS PUSHES "EUTHANASIA BOOTHS"
Home/Latest News Releases/MARTIN AMIS PUSHES "EUTHANASIA BOOTHS"
In an interview yesterday in The Sunday Times (of London), English novelist Martin Amis called for euthanasia booths on street corners to facilitate the death of elderly persons. "How is society going to support this silver tsunami?" he said in an interview. "There'll be a population of demented very old people, like an invasion of terrible immigrants, stinking out the restaurants and cafes and shops. I can imagine a sort of civil war between the old and the young in 10 or 15 years' time," he warned. His answer? "There should be a booth on every corner where you could get a martini and a medal."
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on this issue today:
If it was the goal of Martin Amis to gin up publicity on the eve of his new novel, The Pregnant Widow, he succeeded: his sick comments have received wide coverage in the U.K. But now he's stuck with his mad idea, and attempts to walk it back are too late.
Already, English pundit Toby Young is coming to Amis' defense saying, "He didn't mean it." Young says it was just satire. Not so fast. If what Amis said was in jest, then are we to believe that he was similarly joking when he said, "There should be a way out for rational people who've decided they're in the negative. That should be available, and it should be quite easy." Sure, like having death booths on street corners.
Do we think Amis is going to start a campaign to establish death booths? No, but if someone followed up on his idea, we're confident he wouldn't lose a night's sleep. In any event, we hope his dream world fantasy doesn't migrate to our shores.
In short, it's too late to rescue Amis. Besides, he could have gotten just as much publicity by denying the Holocaust. But he would never say such a thing, and that's because such an idea would strike him as morally repugnant.

Karaoke Goes Live at SOhO with The Selections
Live Band Gives You That Rock-Star Feeling
The Selections
Courtesy Photo
For one shining moment, karaoke crowns us with the spotlight — we feel like the stars we are deep down, permitted to let free our innermost confident rocker with as much gusto as we can muster. On Wednesday, September 28, S.B.'s very own live karaoke band The Selections will stand behind you in your shining moment at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, fueling your favorite song of choice with the added oomph of live instrumentation to make your rock-star rendition all the brighter and you all the cooler. With their huge repertoire of songs (more than 350, and counting), it's likely they'll have your go-to pop song on roster.
The immensely talented band — John Whoolilurie (keys, guitar, saxophone, backup vocals), Austin Beede (drums), Rob Moreno (bass), Joey Fior (guitar) — first started playing weddings before moving onto regular shows at Seven Bar, Dargan's, and Blind Tiger. With the help of iPads to display the chords, the band can nail everything from Toto's "Africa" (their most popular song) to the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and everything in between. "I am continuously impressed by the way the band handles, remembers, and pulls off all these tunes," Whoolilurie said. No sweat if a tricky Bon Jovi guitar solo flies their way after a many-month "Wanted Dead or Alive" dry spell, and no worries if you happen to stumble over that Left Eye Lisa's verse in TLC's "Waterfall"; the band's got you on this.
Having a live band makes a huge difference for karaoke singers, Whoolilurie said. For karaoke lovers, there's nothing more exciting. Participants "get to feel the power of the drums and bass rocking behind them, and the thrill of a standing next to a burning virtuosic guitar soloist. They get to feel the support of the back-up vocalists that are there to harmonize their lead or get them back on track," he said. "We are here to back you up."
The Selections play SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Wednesday, September 28, 8:30 p.m. Ages 21+. Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

You are here: Home / Meta / I'm blogging!
After years of getting progressively more interested in local politics and policy wonkery, I'm making the plunge into joining the conversation. The goal of the blog is partially to get my ideas out there, but even more so, to put ideas into the crucible of feedback that helps me refine them and understand the context of the city I live in.
Compared to the national and international politics which I spent most of my time on in my 20s, I've found local politics to be much harder to break into. There are fewer sources of both news and analysis of what goes on in local politics, and not many people make a concerted effort to involve new people in policy-making. Decisions are often hashed out over the course of months and months of back-and-forth and to be in the loop, you often need to attend meetings in person, rather than reading about what happened in the media. Fortunately, since the internet has really come into its own as a discussion of local issues, it's getting easier and easier to learn about local politics online; I hope to both benefit from and contribute to this trend.
I'm planning on a very soft launch; perhaps I'll tell a few friends or my facebook friends, but probably only really publicize after I get some true posts up here.
Just came across your blog. Nice job so far!! Great stuff.
