The US Government has been running TV broadcasts in Iraq to show the Iraqi people what a free, democratic, pluralist media looks like. (Stop laughing, this is serious.) Whom did they get to produce the nightly news programme? Who else but an extremist Christian Fundamentalist media company with strong Zionist leanings?
While it's unclear whether Grace News Network actually produces any news, it has produced a documentary movie titled "Israel: Divine Destiny" which it showed at the National Press Club in September 2002. The film is about "Israel's destiny and the United States' role in that destiny," according to Grace News Network.
Not that long after Melbourne community radio station PBS-FM was forced out of yuppified St Kilda, it's 3RRR's turn to move. 3RRR's lease on its Fitzroy premises (right off the trendy Brunswick St. latte strip) is coming to an end, and the landlord has told them to move on. They're hoping to find a place in "Fitzroy, Collingwood or Carlton", though with the yuppification of inner-city areas, that sounds a bit optimistic. An industrial park in Lalor or Thomastown or somewhere sounds more likely. Or they could always look around Footscray; it's becoming trendy, but still grimy enough to be cheap.


Before implementing Responder, there are several things to consider. Be sure to review the Responder Read Me file for complete system requirements.
Responder Tables: Create the Responder and Archive tables in your geodatabase by following the steps outlined in the Implementation Scripts sections for Oracle or SQLServer.
Hardware/Servers: Responder may be hosted on multiple servers or on a single server. We recommends three individual servers to optimize Responder's performance. This means a separate server for each component: Responder services, web, and geodatabase. All routers/switches between the Responder server and the client machines must support IP multicasting in order for Responder events (e.g., refresh) to be available. Each component has its own requirements.
Responder Server: This server hosts the various Responder Services (e.g., Data Services, Prediction Services, Archive Services). The Responder services may also be hosted separately on individual servers as well as on a single Responder server. The Configuration section of this online help describes how the Responder services must be configured.
Web Server: The web server requires IIS and hosts the web-based Call Entry browser. Configuring this server is also covered in the Configuration section.
Database Server: The database server hosts the database used to view incidents in ArcMap. You may use data replicated from your production geodatabase, or implement a geodatabase copy or versioning strategy. This database must be maintained to remain concurrent with the production geodatabase. It is recommended that you determine how this data will be maintained before implementing Responder.
Client Machines: The Configuration section of this online help describes how client machines must be configured to use Responder.
Multicasting: All routers and switches must support multicasting. The multicast group number must be unique from other groups, and match between the Responder services config files for all Responder services (Data Services, Prediction Services, Archive Services). The multicast group number is available in the Responder services config files (e.g., Miner.Responder.DataServices.exe.config).
Multicast groups are restricted to class C network IP addresses (in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.0.0.0). Responder uses scope-relative multicast addresses (in the range 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255). This means that the group is for local use within a domain (it does not need to be globally unique and packets are not passed beyond the domain boundary).
Configure Feeder Manager: Feeder Manager is required for Responder to work properly. The Configuring ArcFM Solution online help contains procedures for configuring Feeder Manager.
Load Points: When an outage occurs, a load point is placed to indicate customers without power. Load points are defined as the lowest point modeled on the network. Before implementing Responder, it is important to determine on what features load points can be placed (usually transformers or service points). Devices assigned as load points are indicated by the FDRMGRLOADPOINT model name (see Assign Model Names). This feature class also requires a Phase Designation field with the PHASEDESIGNATION field model name assigned.
You may use both service points and transformers as load points. For example, to assign load points to service points in an urban setting. But in a rural setting, you may have customers assigned directly to a transformer. In this case, assign the FDRMGRLOADPOINT model name to the Service Point feature class and to a Yes/No field (e.g., Load Point field) on the Transformer feature class. You may need to create a Load Point field to which the FDRMGRLOADPOINT field model name is assigned. If you are creating a new Load Point field, ensure it is a Yes/No field. Do NOT assign the model name to the Transformer feature class. When the field is set to Yes, the transformer will be treated as a load point.
After assigning model names it is necessary to initialize trace weights using the Initialize Electric Trace Weights tool in ArcCatalog.
Associate Customers: Ensure customers are associated with the devices on which load points may be placed (e.g., service points, transformers).
Responder Customer Tables: The Responder customer tables must be populated with customer information from the CIS. Before implementing Responder, it is important to decide how these tables will be populated. Once populated, it is important to determine what method will be used to update the data and how often. Below are examples of methods that utilities have used to populate the Responder customer tables with CIS information.
SQLServer: The data that ties the customer to the service point is stored in the GIS rather than the CIS, and the GIS customer data is versioned. On a weekly basis, the GIS customer data is updated to match the data for a particular LOCATIONID in the CIS. This creates a new version in the GIS. The customer data in this new version is exported to a file that may be read by SQL Server Data Transformation Services (DTS). DTS replaces the Responder customer data with the updated data.
Oracle: Another possible method is to utilize an Oracle view to the customer data that resides in the CIS. A migration/interface matrix is required to define which fields in the CIS map to the fields in the Responder Customer table and how. This method also requires a method to interface the CIS to Responder to allow the information to be updated regularly.
Oracle: Use View Table Queries to identify and remove customers without active account numbers, update the connect status field for existing customers with the active CIS customer's connect status, and append any non-existing customers from the CIS data. These tasks are executed nightly by a Microsoft Access macro through the Microsoft Schedule Task tool.
Create Responder Services User: While installing Responder Server, you were prompted to type a username and password for a domain user. This is the login used when executing Responder Services (e.g., Data Services, Prediction Services, Archive Services). This user should exist on your domain before starting the Responder Server configuration.
Citrix Users: Responder takes advantage of ArcFM Solution functionality that makes Responder Explorer semi-transparent before highlighting a feature in ArcMap. This functionality does not work well with Citrix configured for 256 color-depth. Modifying the color-depth of the Citrix connection properties to 16-bit or 24-bit color corrects the problem.
Clustering: You may choose to cluster your Responder servers and Message Router in order to provide failover support. This configuration is optional.
Database Connections: We recommend using direct connections to the database. Refer to Esri's ArcGIS for Desktop help for information about setting up direct connections.


Seattle Polish Foundation (SPF) is the main Polish-American charity in Seattle and Washington State. Established in 2000, it serves as the fundraising arm for the Polish Cultural Center Dom Polski in Seattle and Polish Home Association, as well as for many local Polish-American organizations. It partners frequently with other organizations when staging or sponsoring events promoting Polish culture and language to the general public in our area.
The most important event produced by the Foundation is the annual Polish Festival Seattle, held in July at the Seattle Center. It is part of the Festal, a yearly series of the 24 biggest ethnic festivals in Seattle.
About 5,000 to 10,000 people attend the Festival staged by 200+ volunteers. The Festival is organized in co-operation with the Seattle Center, the Polish Home Association (PHA) and its Polish Women's Club (PWC) and several other organizations.
Another big event organized by SPF in partnership with PHA & PWC is the annual Pierogi Fest, held at the Polish Cultural Center on Capitol Hill in Seattle in May. This event typically draws about 800 to 1000 guests and is very well known in the neighborhood.
An important part of SPF mission is helping different Polish organizations in fundraising for different goals in line with the SPF mission. The most important of those was fundraising for the Polish Home Expansion project; it raised about $800,000 in cash and in-kind donation for the construction of the new wing (extension to the old building) of the Polish Home, now the Polish Cultural Center Dom Polski.
SPF is an all-volunteer organization. All Foundation events are open to the public and highly attended by King County residents of many diverse backgrounds.
SPF is a public charity with the 501(c)(3) tax exempt status; donations to SPF are tax-deductible. The IRS tax identification number is EIN 91-2152458.

Q: is there a way in ansible for my python script to get all the variables that are defined without passing them all in? is there a way that myscript.py can have access to all these variables that my playbook has without passing them in from the command line? I have a python script that requires about 30 environment variables to render a template. I cannot use jinja2 because there is a bug in jinja2 when you use sets and includes. so i had to write a script to do the work.

A:
I cannot use jinja2 because there is a bug in jinja2 when you use sets and includes

sounds like your actual question, but the spirit of answering what was asked: I believe the environment is likely the shortest path from where you are to where you want to be:

  args:
    executable: python3
  environment:
    ANSIBLE_JSON: '{{ vars | to_json }}'
  delegate_to: localhost

then in your script:
import json
import os
vars = json.loads(os.getenv('ANSIBLE_JSON'))

Chrysler Crossfire and SRT-6: the retuned Mercedes SL
Launched in 2004, with a roadster and SRT-6 following in 2005, the Chrysler Crossfire was an interesting "on the cheap" addition to the Chrysler collection. The German automotive press generally considered this retuned, reskinned, prior-generation Mercedes SL to be better than the original — surprising praise, indeed. The American press was not as accepting.
The car was a rear-wheel-drive two-seat sports coupe with a modern 18-valve, 3.2-liter V-6 single-cam engine; buyers could choose between a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic transmission. The engine was good for 215 hp with 229 lb-ft of torque; Chrysler had argued for using its cheaper, 250-hp, 250 lb-ft 3.5 V6, but Daimler execs did not want to pay for the tooling changes, and may have been insulted by the idea as well.
On the lighter side, one year later, Chrysler launched the SRT6 version, with a supercharged V6 good for 330 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
We found that the ordinary Crossfire and the SRT6 looked almost identical, but felt very different. The SRT6 didn't just have more power, but felt better in general, with more confident cornering, a nicer ride, and more comfortable seats.
The Crossfire was marketed as bringing the best of both DaimlerChrysler worlds, but its ad campaign mostly proclaimed the superiority of American styling and German craftsmanship (ignoring Mercedes' sinking quality ratings, and Chrysler's quality gains and engineering). While the ads ran, Volkswagen and Audi sales soared, and Chrysler's plummeted.
To some, the Crossfire represented the worst of the "merger," as Mercedes insisted on having it made in Germany, with a Mercedes engine — in an effort transparent to all auto reporters.
It was not that bad — Chrysler engineers did a substantial amount of retuning, so that some German magazines procaimed the Chrysler to be superior to the Mercedes. Given the changes that were made, it was based on, but was not, a previous-generation design. Still, sales were slow, as foreign-car buyers were turned off by the Chrysler label and domestic buyers by the German chassis.
It took two years to develop the Crossfire. In early 2003, Karmann, which had built the Mercedes SL, began making Crossfires in Germany.
The front suspension was a double wishbone; the rear, a five-link with coil springs. A speed-sensitive rear spoiler (not available on the SRT-6) rose up at around 60 mph, and could be manually raised; the SRT-6 used a normal spoiler. The car came with "summer" Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires and wheels, 18-inch (P225/40) up front and 19-inch (P255/35) in back. The ride was decently cushioned despite the low profiles.
The SRT-6 had stiffer spring rates (50% in the front, 42% in the rear, with higher jounce and rebound rates) and larger brake rotors, with vented rear discs. Oddly, there was no manual transmission available.
Our test drive: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire car review
The Crossfire drew admiring looks; its low sales helped it to stay unique. The interior seemed well executed for the most part, the usual textured plastic dominated the upper dash, and the silver-matte center stack had silver knobs and buttons relieved only by the vents and the thin indicator dials on the climate control knobs.
The gauges had precise markings and an elegant typeface, but matte silver rings diminished the effect. Doors had chrome bars for grips, and door speakers and interior handles had chrome surrounds. Passengers had the short end of the stick, with a plain plastic glove compartment under a plain dark plastic dashboard top.
The SRT-6 interior used soft Alcantara suede for the seats, increasing friction (less sliding) and temperature shock. The SRT speedometer was marked in 20 mph increments instead of 10 mph increments, making it just a tad easier to read. The speedometer also went to 200 mph, an affectation if ever there was one.
At night, all switches were lit, and the gauges were backlit by strong green lighting, all highly readable.
Acceleration was fairly swift, taking a bit under 7 seconds to get to 60 mph, with the automatic, but it neither had brute-force instant-on power nor the need to stay near redline. We found the automatic to sometimes be jerky, and at low speeds it seemed to want to avoid upshifting.
With the supercharged SRT-6, the engine had considerably more power, again without the instant-on brute force, but it certainly moved effectively and quickly. Hit the gas, wait for the downshift, and you get rapid thrust; lift your foot off, and the engine will stay in low gear for a while before downshifting and letting the rpms fall. The supercharger gave the impression of a decent-sized V8 rather than a boosted V6. Gas mileage was 17 city, 24 highway. 0-60 times are in the low-to-mid 5-second range, depending on the source.
Cornering was excellent, using the standard, summer tires. Even when under hard acceleration, the tail didn't swing out (possibly due to the stability control); the Crossfire made it deceptively easy to swing round turns with surprising speed and ease. On the other hand, it had a moderately heavy feel. The SRT-6, while heavier, felt better; the increased spring rates seem to actually make the ride better, counter-intuitively, and adjustments to the stability control parameters probably helped as well.
We were unable to get the SRT-6 tires to squeal; the traction control and active suspension won't allow that. We even tried boneheaded tricks like slamming the gas full on during a sharp turn, but all that happens is the engine revs, the traction control cuts in, the engine cuts back suddenly, and then comes on as quickly as it can without losing traction.
The ride is sporty-firm, but not painful, and can absorb bumps and rough surfaces. While some sports cars have a busy ride, letting you feel every rock embedded in concrete, and making a loud noise over rough surfaces, the Crossfire cushions out most of the small stuff, while remaining generally firm and hugging the road. The compromise is favorable if tilted toward the sporty side. Oddly, the SRT-6 seemed to have a better ride, providing a greater sense of control without a cost in comfort.
Interior noise was not bad; while the engine was a bit gruff and noisy it usually wasn't too loud. The Chrysler 3.5 would not have been less well mannered (and would have provided more power than the base engine). Sound insulation could be better; on the highway, there was more wind noise than one would expect from this range. Or perhaps it was a compromise reached to allow for better performance (lighter weight) and lower pricing.
Interior space was good for two people, though some may find entry and exit to be difficult due to the low height and low door openings. Netting by the center console holds the bulky owner's manual, leaving the glove box free. A single cupholder in the middle put drinks right where they can be knocked over by a stray elbow. The hatchback design made cargo access easy, and the hatch/trunk is surprisingly large and conveniently shaped. (The convertible has less space.)
Despite low windows, visibility is surprisingly good to the sides and ahead; rear visibility is not bad through the rear view mirror, but forget about the rear corners, which are thoroughly blocked by thick pillars. Backing up can be an adventure.
The cruise control is oddly designed and placed just above where the turn signals normally are, while the turn signals are lower and can be hard to reach. Also, in a page from GM, Mercedes has overloaded the turn signal stalk, so it includes headlight dimming as well as wiper-washers; and if there are intermittent wipers, we haven't found them (on the SRT6, there is a single intermittent-wiper setting, bringing back shades of the 1970s).
Two barely accessible buttons protrude from the instrument panel; one adjusts the interior light dimming and shows distance to service, while the other can be pulled to set the clock. The other controls generally make sense until you get to the radio, a stereo/navigation unit. This provides a navigation system without a full sized LCD screen. (You'd think this would bring the price down, but you'd be wrong.) It doesn't have a map but does show the next turn and the compass. It is surprisingly easy to set up, with the usual point of interest or address options for destination, and a woman telling you where to go; but it shares the CD player with the audio system, so if you miss a turn, you have to put the navigation CD back in until the buffer fills back up again. (It remembers directions without the CD in place).
The stereo controls are awkward enough without the "luxury feature" of dimming the sound and bringing it back again every time you change the station or band. This is not a stereo you want to fiddle with much while driving. Nor is the sound quality up to the standards of, say, the Chrysler Infinity system.
The SRT-6's base stereo sounds better. The audio range allows for both comfortable talk radio and thumping-bass music, and the stereo separation is excellent. Again, though, this stereo has almost absurdly poor controls. The luxury sound-dimming feature is maddening.
The climate control was easier, with large dials and a quiet fan.
The automatic transmission includes a winter mode that starts from second gear, and an override feature so you can bump up or down a gear; it goes back to automatic after a while, or can be made to return by hitting it up to fifth gear.
The dash-mounted headlight control is traditional except for two spots which turned out to put on the parking lights for just one side of the car.
A number of things were conspicuous by their absence. Let's start with the lack of a tilting steering column, a gift from Mercedes — even the lowest Dodges and Plymouths had tilt-wheel a decade ago. Just about every other car has sun visors that swivel to cover side windows; these don't. Seats are missing lumbar supports, and the speedometers are insanely set up to top out at 160 mph (stock 210 hp engine) and 200 hp (supercharged). That makes finding your precise speed harder.
The car was also missing a child door lock, even though the passenger door latch automatically unlocked the door. There was no option for side curtain airbags.
Crossfire prices range from about $30,000 to over $40,000. Ours ran $34,000, with the automatic transmission and navigation system. Our base SRT6, on the other hand, ran $45,695 with no options at all.
The Crossfire had good looks, and that was its chief asset; you can have as much fun in a lower-performing sporty car, and you could get a higher-performing car in this price range. It was not as easy (or practical) to drive as a WRX or SRT-4, and slower than the SRT-4 as well. The real performance strength of the Crossfire was high-speed cornering without even the hint of a squeal; if you want thrilling straight-line performance, look elsewhere. But the Crossfire sure is nice to look at.
With regard to the SRT-6, you get the looks with a much more fun car. The cornering is light-years away from the base Crossfire, and the acceleration is far better as well. Though we weren't really all that keen on the standard Crossfire, we really liked the Crossfire SRT6, and think you'll like it too.

India rockers two UK satellites into space
News RSS feed September 16, 2018
Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh: India on Sunday night successfully put into orbit two British earth observation satellites, NovaSAR and S1-4, in copy book style.
Two satellites aboard the Indian rocket – Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) – belonged to Surrey Satellite Technologies Ltd (SSTL), UK.
The satellites were put into sun synchronous orbits under an arrangement with Antrix Corp Ltd, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Indian space agency.
The total lift-off weight of the two satellites was 889 kg.
NovaSAR, which weighs 445kg, is a S-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite intended for forest mapping, land use and ice cover monitoring, flood and disaster monitoring.
S1-4, which is 444kg, is a high resolution Optical Earth Observation Satellite, used for surveying resources, environment monitoring, urban management and for disaster monitoring.
After the successful launch, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said: "The PSLV rocket preciously placed two of our customer satellites in 583 km orbit. The success will give added energy for industry to make PSLV."
At 10.08pm the four staged/engine PSLV-CA rocket, standing 44.4 metres tall and weighing 230.4 tonnes, blasted off from the first launch pad.
With the fierce orange flame at its tail lighting up the night skies here, the rocket slowly gained speed and went up and up enthralling the people at the rocketport while the rocket's engine noise like a rolling thunder adding to the thrill.
Just under 18 minutes into the flight, the rocket slung NovaSAR and S1-4 into the orbit.
Answering a question raised in the Rajya Sabha, the Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, Jitendra Singh, said in August: "In the last four years more than 200 foreign customer satellites have been launched. Considering the future launch demand for increased number of nano and small satellites, there are plans to increase the number of PSLV launches and also develop dedicated small launcher to cater to this high market demand."
According to him, as on August 9, 237 foreign satellites belonging to international customers from 29 countries have been successfully launched using PSLV.
With the successful launch of two British satellites on Sunday, the total number of foreign satellites launched by India goes up to 239.
"We have an order book[ed] of [Rs9.8 billion], with [Rs5-6 billion] contracts in [the] pipeline for launch services in this fiscal (2018-19) and next fiscal (2019-2020)," S. Rakesh, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Antrix Corp, said.

While all meetings are different, one trait they share in common is that attendees often spend a lot of time seated. Dr. James Levine, a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist who has done extensive research on the dangers of inactivity, believes sitting is the new smoking.
After three decades of work funded by the National Institutes of Health, Levine has concluded that excessive sitting is responsible for many chronic health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease, as well as premature death.
Overall, we have become a seated society. "More than one-half of an average person's day is spent being sedentary—sitting, watching television or working at a computer," says Dr. David Alter, a cardiologist at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute who published a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine decrying the negative health effects of prolonged sitting.
The American Osteopathic Association estimates that more than 70 percent of office workers spend close to six hours per day glued to their chairs.
Why is Sitting So Bad?
According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), prolonged sitting:
Shortens the hip flexor muscles and limits the ability of the hip to extend, placing extra pressure on the lumbar spine.
Makes you overweight; those who spend more than six hours per day seated are 2.5 times more likely to be obese.
Causes tightness in the upper back and shoulders, and reduces oxygen flow to the lungs, especially when sitters slump.
Elevates low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol) and increases the risk of high blood pressure.
Lowers metabolism, increases free fatty acids and raises the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
ACE is taking a stand against sitting. It suggests that trimming sitting to less than three hours per day could give the average American an additional two years of life expectancy.
Strategies for Sitters
If you work in a corporate office where your derriere must be in a chair for a considerable period of time each day, try the following:
Set a timer to regularly stand and move around.
Schedule an office-wide stretching break.
Stand when making phone calls and reading paperwork.
If you have a question for a co-worker, stroll over to ask it in person rather than sending an email or making a phone call.
If the office building has stairs, opt for them instead of the elevator.
Send work to the printer that is farthest from your desk.
When conferring with a small group, suggest a walking meeting outdoors.
Standing and treadmill desks have been touted as a viable solution for workers who sit too much. Although research indicates that they help build bone and muscle density, and users burn more calories using them, experts express caution.
"Sitting all day and standing all day are both bad for you," says Alan Hedge, a professor in the Department of Design and Environment Analysis at Cornell University, who advises alternating between the two.
He warns that standing all day introduces a bevy of other health problems, including varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis, as well as foot, knee and lower back issues. Hedge recommends breaking up the work day into half-hour increments where you sit for 20, stand for eight and move around for two minutes.
Considerations for Meeting Planners
Sitting is de rigueur at conferences. Make marathon meetings more bearable by getting attendees out of their seats between sessions. Here are some ideas:
For a small group, organize a short scavenger hunt that has participants racing through the venue or preferably, outdoors.
If the group is large, stage different fitness breakouts in different rooms; for example, yoga, dodgeball, stretching or dance.
Gamify movement by giving away branded trackers and staging challenges. Award prizes to those who take the most steps or cover the longest distance.

Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications	・ High Meadows Environmental Institute
Be it the Mima mounds of Washington state or the famous "fairy circles" of Namibia in southwestern Africa, people are captivated by the regular patterns of plant growth that blanket desert and grassland landscapes, often with mesmerizing consistency.
Scientists have long debated how these phenomena originate and persist. Now, a new theory suggests that instead of a single overarching cause, large-scale vegetation patterns in arid ecosystems could occasionally stem from millions of local interactions among neighboring plants and animals, according to a Princeton University-led study published Jan. 19 on the cover of the journal Nature.
Like Russian nesting dolls, small-scale patterns formed by plants in response to water scarcity lie within a larger polka-dot formation created by the nests of social insects such as termites and ants. The nests in turn appear as circular clusters of vegetation or as gaps of bare soil, depending on how the insects affect plant growth.
Satellite images from four continents showed that insect nests are often remarkably evenly spaced, with each nest having an average of six neighbors. The researchers used mathematical models and computer simulations to show that territorial aggression between adjacent colonies can produce this arrangement, which leads to a large-scale hexagonal, or honeycomb, distribution of the nests. Individual colonies spread outward until they encounter and fight with their neighbors, occasionally killing off smaller colonies. Over time, this leads to a mosaic of six-sided territories. Each of the six sides represents the frontline between a colony and its enemies next door.
Lead author Corina Tarnita, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton, explained that the pattern arises when termite colonies are roughly equal in size and the landscape is homogeneous.

Petticoat Pirates is a 1961 British comedy film directed by David MacDonald and starring Charlie Drake, Anne Heywood, Cecil Parker, John Turner and Thorley Walters. The film had its premiere on 30 November 1961 at the Warner Theatre in London's West End.

Wren Officer Anne Heywood and the 150 girls under her command are piqued. On the grounds that Wrens can do anything that men can do, at least as well or better, they demand the right to serve at sea in warships. When their request is turned down by the authorities they board a frigate, imprison the skeleton crew,  and set off to sea, where they unintentionally become embroiled in a training exercise between British and US fleets...

Cast

Reception
According to Kinematograph Weekly the film was considered a "money maker" at the British box office in 1962.

Parapsychology: An Insider's View of ESP
by J. Gaither Pratt
Doubleday, 300 pp., $4.95
Croiset the Clairvoyant
by Jack Harrison Pollack
Experimental Psychical Research
by Robert H. Thouless
Penguin, 148 pp., 95c
Lectures on Psychical Research
by C.D. Broad
Humanities Press, 450 pp., $10.00
These books are all about the same subject, for the expression "psychical research" is just an older equivalent, still favored in Britain, for the newer "parapsychology." They range widely in both level and quality, but, precisely for that reason, they can together give a fairer view of the present state of the subject than could be got from any one separately—even from the most thorough and substantial, which is, by a very wide margin, that by Broad.
Pratt sets his tone from the first sentence: "In 1936 I became a professional revolutionist. This book is about the revolution I joined." Fortunately, as the author assures us immediately, it is an intellectual revolution only. Yet as such it is supposed to be comparable with, among others, the change "from the Newtonian system of mechanics, to Einsteinian relativity, with its resulting release of atomic energy and the precipitation of the Atomic Age." This latest intellectual revolution "consists in the scientific demonstration that man is fundamentally mind-centered rather than brain-centered." The demonstration is supposed to have been achieved by parapsychology, and in particular by the statistical experimentation which has been so much stimulated by Professor J. B. Rhine of Duke University. Since 1936, apart from the interruptions of war service, Pratt has been Rhine's right-hand man. This book is very much made in the Rhine image, but it is a rather inferior version of the master's New Frontiers of the Mind (1937) or The Reach of the Mind (1947). About the only possible reason for preferring it to either of these books is that Pratt gives an account of his attempts, by experiments on the homing of pigeons, to answer the question, "Do animals have ESP?" The chapter is called: "Winged Messengers, What Is Your Secret?"
Pollack is a journalist, and his book is a report of perhaps the most outstanding clairvoyant operating today: the Dutchman, Croiset, who claims among other things to have solved many mysteries of crime and disappearance. Pollack's book consists almost entirely of short and snappy case reports, given such tabloid titles as "was the Father Poisoned?," "The Brother Rapists," and "A Cop's Conscience." One gets an impression of police work in contemporary Holland similar to that suggested for late Victorian Britain by the Sherlock Holmes stories: the police forever baffled, until at last they have the wit to call in Croiset—although Croiset, unlike Holmes, may be misguided into confirming the erroneous suspicions which he has read in the minds of the wretched professionals. It is quite impossible to do justice to the claims of Croiset from this presentation, and it is not made any easier by the undiscriminating citations of endorsement. There are, for instance, tributes from both members of a husband and wife team who have established their home as an Institute for the Study of Mental Images, and one is quoted from a journal edited, largely written, and published domestically—in a peculiarly literal sense, a house organ.
The most serious thing about the book is what it suggests, obviously quite unwittingly, about Dr. Tenhaeff. Tenhaeff was the first occupant of the world's first official professorship of parapsychology, at the University of Utrecht. Croiset has been Tenhaeff's special subject and, according to Pollack, has accepted Tenhaeff as his mentor. Pollack seems never to miss a chance of referring to Tenhaeff's wisdom, scholarship, and devotion. He even provides a charming picture of the Professor's frugal and meticulous domestic arrangements. Yet the book gives no hint that all these years of study of Croiset have ever involved anything more than observation and recording. We are irresistibly reminded of Darwin's remark: "About thirty years ago there was much talk that geologists ought only to observe and not to theorize; and I well remember someone saying that at this rate a man might as well go into a gravel pit and count the pebbles and describe the colors." One of the book's illustrations is of "5 Springweg, Utrecht, Holland, where Professor Tenhaeff conducts most of his experiments." But of experiments, in the scientific sense, the book says not a word. There is of course a lot about "chair tests" and various other public and private demonstrations, often described, wrongly, as experiments: "The experiment proved beyond doubt Croiset's honesty and paragnostic [=clairvoyant—AF] abilities, even though some Germans continue to remain skeptical." But of experiments designed to test hypotheses, or even theories and hypotheses to be tested, nothing. Pollack lists among his qualifications that he is "a former US Senate Committee investigator."
Thouless is someone who both knows what an experiment is and has chosen to write about experiments only. He has spent his life in experimental psychology. His book is useful as a short, well-informed, albeit—by some standards—optimistic account of the present experimental situation. It will appeal to a different and wider public than Soal and Bateman's Modern Experiments in Telepathy, which is in fact much more than Thouless's bibliography suggests: "An account of two of the key experiments to establish the reality of ESP." It is also narrower in scope than D. J. West's Psychical Research Today, available in the same series. The special merit of the Thouless book is its sophistication and interest in questions of method and the interpretation of results. The thirty pages on chance and the significance of results could be read with profit by a great many people whose primary interest is not in their parapsychological relevance. There is, for instance, an elegant account of "the crumpled paper fallacy," which consists in mistaking some given pattern of folds to be significant for no better reason than that it—like every possible pattern—had formerly seemed enormously improbable.
But there are two places where, surely, he lapses. In the chapter on "Experimental Precautions" he runs through various suggestions that ESP successes were due to unconscious whispering, recording errors, and so on, and urges that these are "no longer a live alternative to the hypothesis of ESP." This is to sell such ideas too short: no doubt it is wrong to put all the positive results down to any one of them singly; but it is not by the same token equally obvious that, given a sufficiently long list, these cannot possibly be attributed to one or another alternatively. In another chapter he entertains the idea that the only way to make sure whether any kind of event is possible is to find out empirically whether or not it happens." This is strictly true. But it is also misleading. For the best reason for saying that something is impossible is that its occurrence is ruled out by what is on good evidence believed to be a law of nature. All such beliefs are, of course, in principle, open to correction. Yet it is not necessarily and always unreasonable to dismiss some story as impossible on the grounds that the occurrence reported is inconsistent with what we (think we) know. If such procedure were always unreasonable critical history, among other things, could scarcely begin.
Broad is a philosopher of distinction with what, in Britain, is unfortunately unusual in a philosopher, a background in the physical sciences. He has had a lifelong active interest in parapsychology, preceding by many years the introduction of this new label. This book is mainly the product of an energetic retirement, and it has all the qualities—both engaging and forbidding—which his admirers will know to expect.
From the Preface we can feel sure that Broad will give us none of the usual sentimental wishful guff about life after death: "If there should be another life, one can judge of its possibilities only by analogy with the actualities of life on earth. Nothing that I know of the lives and circumstances of most human beings in the present and the past encourages me to wish to risk encountering such possibilities after death." This quotation gives the feel of the whole treatment of the survival question. It is this which is likely to interest most readers most. But the first of the three sections of the book deals with three of the main sets of experiments in card-guessing. These include those of J. G. Pratt, the author of the first book reviewed here, on Hubert Pearce. The accounts are full, and the discussion is technical and thorough. Typical of Broad's fastidious, but never merely pedantic, care is his suggestion that to call these experiments quantitative, as is usual, is misleadingly generous: "quotitative," referring simply to frequency, would be a better word. "Quantitative work, in the usual sense of that phrase, is concerned with measurable variables and their correlation with each other." This, as anyone can see once Broad has pointed it out, is not the case here.
The second section consists in a similar treatment of what, again aptly, Broad would like to call the sporadic, rather than the spontaneous, cases, This is largely a matter of hallucinations and quasi-hallucinations which seem to give evidence of telepathy. Nowhere in the book does he give consideration to the putative physical phenomena in which things are supposed to be moved in physically unaccountable ways. Unless, that is, you count the reference which occasions this item in the Index: " 'Ectoplasm'; see Butter-muslin." This is delicious. But it will not quite do. For if all the testimony for paranormal physical ongoings is to be thus dismissed, this must surely bear on the question of the reliability of the testimony for mental ones.
The third section is about trance mediums. Like the others it concentrates on a few really thorough investigations. In one chapter Broad's special interest in all things Swedish produces a comparison between the communications of, or through, Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Willett with the picture presented by Swedenborg. The latter seems to have had a critical acuteness not vouchsafed to all visionaries. He was apparently capable of rebuking spirits for claiming literally to speak to him. Notoriously they had no vocal machinery. Besides, their communications reached him in Swedish, a language which usually they could not reasonably be expected to know!
To a philosopher the most appealing chapter of all is the Epilogue. Broad's final remarks on survival are as drily sober as his Preface. We pick two almost at random. First, Broad insists that almost all believers in survival have, like St. Paul, believed in some sort of future body—something which is often curiously overlooked even by those who think themselves to be Christians. Second, he recognizes that, if identity is to be preserved through death and dissolution, we require some variation on a Platonic-Cartesian view of man, in which the soul becomes the bearer of the individuating characteristics. On the substantive issue Broad is agnostic: "One can only wait and see, or alternately (which is no less likely) wait and not see."
After all this have we any excuse if we still cannot bring ourselves to believe in the revolution Pratt proclaims? To begin with, there is altogether too much fraud, delusion, and incompetence around. This is bound to give the whole subject a bad smell, both to those whose home has the cleaner and austere atmosphere of the natural sciences, and perhaps especially to psychologists and others who cherish similar salutary ambitions for their own studies. It cannot but be rather offputting to learn that three leading members of the Society for Psychical Research (London) were recently able to do a magnificent hatchet job which showed beyond reasonable doubt that the late Mr. Harry Price had been faking the phenomena he was supposed to be investigating. (See E. J. Dingwall, K. M. Goldney, and T. H. Hall, The Haunting of Borley Rectory, London, Duckworth, 1956.) It is discouraging too to learn that such a prominent and exceptionally scrupulous investigator as Dr. S. G. Soal, the person responsible for some of the most impressive of all the positive experimental evidence, should have had to reveal, in 1956, that the original scoring sheets of all the crucial experiments on Basil Shackleton had been lost at Cambridge railway station in 1945. To note this is not mere professional overfastidiousness. For the original sheets, and only the original sheets, might have revealed signs of tampering with the notes of the guesses and targets before, or while, these were being scored up against one another. (Broad should, I think, have given the year as well as the volume and page of the journal where this confession was made.)
Another thing which is perhaps offputting to some is the tendency to surround a few pinches of experimental fact with a caskful of grandiose speculation. Pratt, following Rhine, provides a bad example. He claims that the sort of experiments done at Duke have demonstrated "that man is fundamentally mind-centered rather than brain-centered," construing mind as some sort of Platonic-Cartesian incorporeal soul. It is this which explains his definition that "parapsychology is the science of the mind," which would make it the cuckoo in psychology's nest. But this view seems to be, for both Rhine and Pratt, a presupposition rather than any sort of implication arising from experimentation. For there is in the experimental reports not the slightest reason for attributing the ESP capacities to any such Platonizing entity. There are, after all, human, corporeal performers present in the laboratory.
Yet none of this would matter much if only there was even one reliably repeatable experiment. Unfortunately for the revolution, and despite all efforts in a growing number of centers throughout the world, this remains as much the unattained aspiration as it was ten, twenty, thirty years ago, and way back to 1882 when the S.P.R. (London) was founded. Pratt draws confidence from comparisons with, among others, Benjamin Franklin. The enormous difference is that Franklin's experiments with clouds and kites and keys could be repeated anywhere by anyone who was prepared to try. Certainly the investigations must go on. There is far too much impressive and perplexing evidence to ignore. But a sure-fire intellectual revolution? Not yet. "One can only wait and see, or alternately (which is no less likely) wait and not see."

President Gül has had a number of meetings with civil society groups and political party leaders in the hopes of putting a stop to increasing polarization.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul met former Chief of General Staff retired general Hilmi Ozkok over lunch at the Presidential Palace in Ankara on Thursday.
Replying to questions of reporters after the meeting, Ozkok said Gul and he discussed general situation in Turkey during the meeting.
The meeting also focused on Turkey's EU accession process, he said. "I told President Gul that activities in regard to the process have slowed down. I also said I believed that the EU process benefited Turkey," Ozkok said.
"I am not a wise man --scientist or academician. I only conveyed my views to President Gul," he said.
Ozkok said they also touched on the Ergenekon probe, but they did not discuss the matter in detail.

The tour was announced via an online press conference.
Tour "surprises"
The band's members — Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx — said they'll put on three-hour shows at each stop.
"When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope, and that's part of Motley Crue's legacy," bassist Sixx said. "As far as letting on to what we're doing, that would be like finding out what you're getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we'd like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour."
The band also said it signed a "cessation of touring agreement," which starts after the tour.
Motely Crue has sold more than 80-million albums in its 30-plus years together, including 22 top 40 rock hits, six top 20 pop singles and three Grammy nominations.
After the North American tour, the band will spend 2015 saying goodbye internationally.
"There's no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock 'n' roll," said Rick Franks, Live Nation regional president of North America concerts. "But behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue."

Government and UNMISS Inaugurate South Sudan's First Juvenile Reformatory Centre in Juba

Today, the United Nations Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Moustapha Soumaré, and the Deputy Minister of Interior, Hon. Gen. Majak Akech Malok, dedicated South Sudan's first Juvenile Reformatory Centre (JRC) in Juba. The project, which is part of ongoing technical cooperation between the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the National Prisons Service of South Sudan (NPSSS), was implemented by the South Sudanese NGO, Charity Aid for Development and Emergency (CADE) through the UNMISS Quick Impact Projects programme. The International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) provided additional funding and support to ensure its completion.
The JRC will allow children in conflict with the law to be safely and securely housed, separate from adult offenders, in compliance with international best practices and South Sudan's own legal framework. It will also serve as a centre where children in conflict with the law can receive formal education, vocational training, rehabilitation services and psycho-social support to prepare them for their re-integration into the society as productive citizens.
Speaking at the dedication ceremony, Mr. Soumaré stated, "The juvenile reformatory we dedicate today is more than just a building. It is a symbol of a modern juvenile justice system for South Sudan." He welcomed the efforts by the Director-General of the NPSSS to ensure that corrections officers assigned to the JRC possessed the necessary skills to address the special needs of children in conflict with the law and pledged continued UNMISS support for the finalization of the operational plan and training curriculum for this and future juvenile reformatories in South Sudan.
Deputy Minister Malok observed that "youths are the backbone of any nation". He described the opening of the JRC as a "step forward" in juvenile justice in South Sudan. He said it will provide an environment for juveniles to "positively contribute towards the building of this nation." The Deputy Minister also applauded the First Family of South Sudan for dedicating 100 mattresses to the reformatory.
The Jubek Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Welfare, Hon. Rose Lisok, agreed that the opening of the JRC was a historic moment. She noted that juveniles now had a clean and healthy living environment while their cases are resolved.
The Director-General of the NPSSS, Gen. Henry Kuany Aguar, thanked UNMISS and other partners for the successful renovation of the building. Without their support, "this historical achievement would not have been realized," he noted.
In addition to establishing this JRC, to ensure that cases involving juveniles proceed more efficiently through the national justice system, UNMISS is providing technical advice to all national justice sector actors to prioritize review of their cases. As part of a pilot project implemented at Juba Central Prison, prison officials have reviewed all warrants of detention to identify those cases awaiting trial, which are being reviewed by public prosecutors from the Ministry of Justice to ensure that the cases are ready for trial. The Judiciary has assigned judges to hear these cases at court sessions to be held at Juba Central Prison, and civil society and other partners have pledged legal assistance to ensure fair trial rights.

Arif Izmirligil, Appellant, et al., Defendants.
David L. Singer, P.C., Melville, NY, for appellant.
Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC, White Plains, NY (David V. Mignardi of counsel), for respondent.
In an action, inter alia, to foreclose a mortgage, the defendant Arif Izmirligil appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Whelan, J.), dated January 28, 2014, which granted the plaintiff's motion to be relieved of any obligation to comply with the attorney affirmation requirement of Administrative Orders AO/548/10 and AO/431/11 of the Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts and 22 NYCRR 202.12-a (f), and (2) an order of the same court dated May 20, 2014, which denied his motion for recusal.
Ordered that one bill of costs is awarded to the appellant.
In 2009, the plaintiff commenced this action to foreclose a mortgage executed in 2006 by the defendant Arif Izmirligil (hereinafter the defendant) to secure a note in the principal sum of $1.1 million. In September 2013, the plaintiff moved to be relieved of any obligation to comply with the attorney affirmation requirement of Administrative Orders AO/548/10 and AO/431/11 of the Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts and 22 NYCRR 202.12-a (f). In an order dated January 28, 2014, the Supreme Court granted the motion, concluding that the subject Administrative Orders were invalid because the Chief Administrative Judge acted beyond her authority in issuing them (see Bank of N.Y. Mellon v Izmirligil, 43 Misc 3d 409 [Sup Ct, Suffolk County 2014]). We reverse.
In 2008, the New York State Legislature, in response to widespread "robo-signing" of affidavits, responded by enacting comprehensive legislation concerning the residential foreclosure [*2]process (see L 2008, ch 472; L 2009, ch 507). The legislation imposed new notice and other requirements on mortgage lenders and servicers (see L 2008, ch 472; L 2009, ch 507). It also created a mandatory settlement conference procedure whereby the parties must negotiate in good faith to agree on a loan modification, if possible (see CPLR 3408 [a], [f]), and to which the plaintiff was required to bring certain underlying documents, while the defendant was required to bring, inter alia, proof of income (see CPLR 3408 [e]).
In addition, on October 20, 2010, the Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts issued Administrative Order AO/548/10, "effective immediately," requiring a plaintiff's attorney in certain mortgage foreclosure actions to submit an affirmation confirming the factual accuracy and the accuracy of notarizations of all filings in support of foreclosure (see Aurora Loan Servs., LLC v Gross, 139 AD3d 772 ; Wachovia Bank, N.A. v Akojenu, 138 AD3d 1112 ). Administrative Order AO/548/10 stated that the plaintiff's counsel in a residential mortgage foreclosure action "shall file" an affirmation with the court confirming that he or she communicated with a representative of the plaintiff, who informed counsel that he or she "(a) has personally reviewed plaintiff's documents and records relating to this case; (b) has reviewed the Summons and Complaint, and all other papers filed in this matter in support of foreclosure; and (c) has confirmed both the factual accuracy of these court filings and the accuracy of the notarizations contained therein" (see U.S. Bank N.A. v Eaddy, 109 AD3d 908, 909 ). For new cases, Administrative Order AO/548/10 provided that the affirmation must accompany the request for judicial intervention (see 1-2 Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures § 2.01). Where a residential mortgage foreclosure action was pending on the effective date of Administrative Order AO/548/10, and no judgment of foreclosure had been entered, Administrative Order AO/548/10 provided that the affirmation must be filed "at the time of filing either the proposed order of reference or the proposed judgment of foreclosure" (see U.S. Bank, N.A. v Ramjit, 125 AD3d 641, 642 ; Wells Fargo Bank, NA v Ambrosov, 120 AD3d 1225 ; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Hudson, 98 AD3d 576, 577 ). Where a judgment of foreclosure had been entered but the property had not yet been sold, the affirmation was required to be filed "five business days before the scheduled auction, with a copy to be served on the referee" (see U.S. Bank N.A. v Eaddy, 109 AD3d at 909).
In January 2011, 22 NYCRR 202.12-a was amended to add subsection (f), which allows the Chief Administrator of the Courts to continue to require counsel to file affidavits or affirmations confirming the scope of inquiry and the accuracy of papers filed in residential mortgage foreclosure actions.
On March 2, 2011, Administrative Order AO/548/10 was replaced by Administrative Order AO/431/11, retroactively effective November 18, 2010, which revised the form for the required attorney affirmation (see Aurora Loan Servs., LLC v Gross, 139 AD3d at 772-773; Emigrant Sav. Bank-Brooklyn/Queens v Makinano, 126 AD3d 934 ). Administrative Order AO/431/11 requires a plaintiff's attorney in a residential mortgage foreclosure action to file an affirmation indicating that he or she communicated with a representative of the plaintiff, and that the representative informed the attorney "that he/she/they (a) personally reviewed plaintiff's documents and records relating to this case for factual accuracy; and (b) confirmed the factual accuracy of the allegations set forth in the Complaint and any supporting affidavits or affirmations filed with the Court, as well as the accuracy of the notarizations contained in the supporting documents filed therewith" (see Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Watanabe, 136 AD3d 1413, 1414 ). The order incorporated two forms for this purpose—an affirmation to be filed by the plaintiff's counsel ("shall file"), and an affidavit to be filed by the plaintiff's representative ("may file") (see Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Pabon, 138 AD3d 1217 ).
On August 1, 2013, the Chief Administrative Judge issued Administrative Order AO/208/13, "effective immediately," which directs that the provisions of Administrative Order AO/431/11 "shall not apply to residential mortgage foreclosure actions commenced on or after August 30, 2013." In actions commenced prior to August 30, 2013, "where no affirmation has been filed pursuant to AO/431/11," Administrative Order AO/208/13 states that the "plaintiff's counsel may either (1) comply with AO/431/11, or (2) file with the court at the time of the filing of the Request for Judicial Intervention a certificate of merit whose contents are described in section 3012-b (a) of the [*3]Civil Practice Law and Rules" (see Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Pabon, 138 AD3d at 1218 n 3; Patrick M. Connors, 2013 Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR 3012-b).
CPLR 3012-b, effective August 30, 2013 (see L 2013, ch 306, § 1), provides, in relevant part, that "the complaint shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the attorney for the plaintiff, certifying that the attorney has reviewed the facts of the case and that, based on consultation with representatives of the plaintiff identified in the certificate and the attorney's review of pertinent documents, . . . to the best of such attorney's knowledge, information and belief there is a reasonable basis for the commencement of such action and that the plaintiff is currently the creditor entitled to enforce rights under such documents" (CPLR 3012-b [a]). CPLR 3012-b authorizes, but does not require, dismissal of the action, "without prejudice," as a sanction for the "willful[ ]" failure to provide copies of the necessary documents at the time of the filing of the complaint (CPLR 3012-b [e]).
Contrary to the Supreme Court's determination, the Chief Administrative Judge was not acting ultra vires in issuing Administrative Orders AO/548/10 and AO/431/11 (hereinafter together the Administrative Orders), but pursuant to authority delegated by the Legislature to adopt rules and orders regulating practice in the courts after consulting with the administrative board (see NY Const, art VI, § 30; Judiciary Law § 212  [d]; cf. Matter of A.G. Ship Maintenance Corp. v Lezak, 69 NY2d 1, 6 ). Moreover, the attorney affirmation itself is not substantive (see LaSalle Bank, NA v Pace, 100 AD3d 970, 971 ) and, thus, is within the authority of the Chief Administrative Judge to promulgate rules of procedure.
In addition, that the Legislature manifested a clear intent to apply the certificate of merit requirement of CPLR 3012-b only to those actions commenced on or after August 30, 2013, does not manifest an intent by the Legislature to relieve a plaintiff's counsel of the affirmation requirement in actions commenced prior to August 30, 2013. Had the Legislature intended to regulate the area of then-pending mortgage foreclosure actions by obviating the need for any such affirmation, it easily could have done so (see Matter of Luis C., 124 AD3d 109, 118 ). That the Legislature elected not to legislate comprehensively permits the reasonable inference that it had no strong objection to the extant administratively regulated practice (see McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 1, Statutes § 74). This construction is buttressed by the fact that CPLR 3012-b imposes similar obligations on the plaintiff's attorney as those found in the Administrative Orders. Moreover, a practical reason exists for the Legislature to omit from the scope of the new statute those actions commenced prior to August 30, 2013, as it would be fruitless to impose a requirement on the plaintiff's counsel to attach such certificate of merit to the complaint when the action has already been commenced. Also, to adopt the construction proposed by the Supreme Court would run counter to the Legislature's intention in passing the homeowner-protective provisions of CPLR 3408 (see generally US Bank N.A. v Sarmiento, 121 AD3d 187 ; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Meyers, 108 AD3d 9 ; see also McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 1, Statutes § 74).
Finally, because the Supreme Court, in finding "good cause shown, and in the interests of justice" (22 NYCRR 202.1 [b]), relied on its own erroneous determination that the Administrative Orders are ultra vires, the court improperly waived the affirmation requirement (see 22 NYCRR 202.12-a [f]; Matter of Eastgate Corporate Park, LLC v Assessor, Bd. of Assessment Review of Town of Goshen, 54 AD3d 1036 ; cf. Martinez v Murdock, 111 AD3d 1443 ).


The bus currently runs with electronic fuel injection.
wired into the ECU is a autometer monster tacho with shift light and oil pressure warning light. A Hurst line lock with input into the ECU to set the launch control. Autometer oil temp gauge. Here is the DTA ECU, this sits strapped to the roof of the engine bay and connects through a multiway jack on the end of the ECU wiring loom in the bay.
Here's the coil pack, this is controlled by the ECU and replaces both the distributor and coil. The was originally bolted to the back of the fan shroud when the type 1 fan system was in place.
This is the neat crank trigger sensor, the toothed wheel has one tooth missing so the ECU can orientate itself to the position of the crank.
Here's one the 45mm Jenvey throttle bodies showing the two Bosch injectors on the high pressure fuel rail. The fuel flows in from the pump to the first rail then to the second rail on the other throttle body then to a fuel pressure regulator that has a vacuum sensor on one manifold. Finally it routes out to the fuel tank return that is tapped into the fuel tank filler neck. Also shown here is the throttle position sensor for the ECU on the butterfly spindle.
Here is the oil temp sensor, tapped into the left hand side rocker cover. This provides information for the cold start map in the ECU and also provides the reading for overheat protection.
In practice the DTA system has been fine, the software supplied to control the mapping and perform diagnostics works well and is clearly laid out. It runs in Windows but I run a PC emulator on my Macintosh laptop and run it from that. The map editing is very straightforward, connect the laptop, load the software and point and click to setup launch control, dump diagnostic data from the ECU or tweak any aspect of the engine management.
Apart from a few minor teething problems everything has been fine and the engine runs very well with correct fueling in pretty much all situations (quite normal for a EFI system but a rare occurrence on a hot motor with carbs !) .
Aside from a niggling issue on cold running on with the cold start enrichment map as the weather turned damp and cold in the autumn, which has now been fixed, all is smiles.


Rejuvenation. Samsung refreshes its Series 7 models and launches the successor to the luxurious all-rounder 700Z5A with the latest hardware. In the following review, we will take a look at how well the aluminium-cloaked 700Z5C performs in our tests.
Another thing - where is the windows 7 experience rating number??
I found this for £799 on John Lewis. http://www.johnlewis.com/231740125/Product.aspx. It's currently reduced to clear, which to me looks like an absolute bargain.
I appreciate this useful review of the Samsung laptop. However, none of the criticism relates to my problem: The level of screen illumination seems to fluctuate and change every few seconds, which is extremely annoying when doing word processing. What can be the cause? Is it a failing video card? Everything else seems to work as expected.
If anyone else has encountered this problem, I would like to hear from them.

Car dealer wife killer loses appeals over £1.5m ruling in family's favour
A MILLIONAIRE car dealer who murdered his ex-wife lost his appeals today over a £1.5 million ruling in favour of her sister and two of his sons.
Ian Workman, 63, was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 17 and a half years, at Preston Crown Court in December 2011. At the time he stabbed 55-year-old Susan, his wife of 35 years, in April 2011, they were involved in ongoing financial proceedings following their divorce.
Mrs Workman's sister, Carol Forrester, together with two of the estranged couple's sons, Nicholas and Ben Workman, brought a damages claim against Workman.
Ian Workman
In law, someone who is criminally responsible for the death of another cannot benefit from it, and Mrs Workman's family claimed that this rule should also apply to the financial proceedings.
They said that Workman, of Turton, Lancashire, should not be able to avoid what they contended was the highly likely outcome of a £1.5 million award in his ex-wife's favour.
Decisions given in the High Court in 2014 resulted in the entry of a default judgment against Workman in favour of Mrs Forrester and the two sons in the sum of £1.5 million plus interest and costs.
Workman went to the Court of Appeal, pictured, to challenge two orders. One required him to disclose his assets and, in default, debarred him from defending the value of the claim, while the other rejected his bid for a relisting of an application to 'freeze' his assets.
Dismissing both challenges today, the appeal court said there had been a 'persistent failure' by Workman to comply with the disclosure order. His 'flagrant contempt' in failing to comply had the potential to frustrate the damages assessment and could not be ignored. The court also found that the judge who refused to relist the application had reviewed all the material circumstances and was entitled to decide as she did.
During his time in business, Workman owned IWG, a dealership group representing brands including Hyundai, Subaru and Isuzu in the Bolton area. After the company entered administration in 2000, he operated independently from a single site.

Directions: On the B4413 from Llanbedrog, carry on into Aberdaron village centre, where you shall see a signpost for Rhiw which you should follow and you should then head out of the village up a steep hill, with the churchyard on your right. Within two miles you will come across a crossroads with a post box, turn right here and you should come to what looks like a disused farm, with a pond on the left. The car park is around the back of the outbuildings on your right.
Porth Ysgo with Maen Gwenonwy (island) beyond.
Porth Ysgo is nestled within the cliffs between Porth Neigwl/Hell's Mouth and Aberdaron. The descent to the beach is down a flight of over 150 steps, crisscrossing the side of the cliff. If you want to miss out all of these steps though, you can! So don't be put off if you would still like to explore this area, However, it is worth noting that the paths are steep and uneven in places.
Start from the car park at the farm. You should be able to see a public footpath sign pointing down a rough track. Follow the public footpath to the left slightly and you will soon find yourself following a small stream in the bottom of the small valley. When the valley opens out at the end you should find yourself looking out across the sea across to Enlli/Bardsey in the distance. A narrow dirt path leads off to the right, follow this to the top of the cliff and the top of the steps to the beach. If you don't want to go down the 150 or so steps, you should stay on the previous path, which follows the hillside round to the left. If you choose to go down to the beach, follow the same steps back up to the top of the cliffs to get back to the main path. Once back on this path, continue around the hill side, rather than going back the way you came.
You will come to a style and you should see another small stream. Walk upstream following the path. This path leads all the way back up to a country lane. When you get to this lane turn left and after just over about a quarter of a mile, you will find the car park you started on.


We recently saw research that suggested negative radiation pressure in light could lead to a practical tractor beam. A partnership between the Czech Republic's Institute of Scientific Instruments and Scotland's University of St. Andrews can show that it's more than just theory: the two have successfully created an optical field that flipped the usual pressure and started pulling objects toward the light. Their demo only tugged at the particle level -- sorry, no spaceships just yet -- but it exhibited unique properties that could be useful here on Earth. Scientists discovered that the pull is specific to the size and substance of a given object, and that targets would sometimes reorganize themselves in a way that improved the results. On the current scale, that pickiness could lead to at least medicinal uses, such as sorting cells based on their material. While there's more experiments and development to go before we ever see a tractor beam at the hospital, the achievement brings us one step closer to the sci-fi future we were always told we'd get, right alongside the personal communicators and jetpacks.
