By Judge Rudolph A. Diaz
hen I was the Chief Deputy in the Federal Public Defender's office in Los Angeles over 15 years ago, it was my job to look out for and defend the rights of people who were charged with offenses they could not otherwise defend themselves against. My stock-in-trade was people who depended on those who, like myself, would ensure their rights were protected as American citizens before the courts of the nation.
When I became a municipal court judge in 1980, I soon realized that I was, in many respects, still a "defende" — but of something more precious than any single person's rights. I now held the trust of seeing that the rights of all people, embodied in the Constitution, were preserved and that laws were applied equally and fairly. Today, with the perspective of many years of judging and several years viewing the judiciary from an oversight capacity, I understand and enjoy that role more than ever.
I like to work with people and make a positive impact upon their lives. As a judge, I see constant opportunities for this.
Particularly since working with the Drug Court — where we handle only drug offenses and treat each offender individually, giving them a rehabilitative "sentence" to encourage them to get and stay free of drugs — I have encountered many people who told me that their lives had changed and that things had really come around for them after participating in our programs.
But there are problems associated with the administration of justice, and the courts often can't or don't serve as well as they should. There are many ways in which the court can improve its relationship to the public, and vice versa.
Access to Justice: In California and in many other states we have seen the passage of "three strikes" legislation. Though there are distinctions from state to state, the core principle is always that an offender with two or three offenses behind him is at a far higher risk of a severe sentence which would involve incarceration.
The fact is that one of the negative aspects of this law in California and across the country is that it greatly increases the quantity of cases which get tried by judges and juries, as the defendants have a great deal more at stake. Thus, they have less time for civil cases and more cases get backlogged. To help offset this, municipal courts have tried to help the superior courts by taking some of their caseload; but, the caseloads have just continued to expand faster than anyone can keep pace.
In Southern California, it means that the results of seven years of largely successful delay-reduction efforts could easily be lost, and private judging and alternate methods of dispute resolution will become more and more necessary.
There is another issue this raises, which is quite close to home for most judges. It is the degree to which they are allowed to exercise their judgment and treat each defendant as an individual, not a statistic. Many who feel strongly about "three strikes" feel that it must be applied literally, with no discretion. Most judges, myself included, feel that this simply isn't fair to the defendants in many cases; examples of this are numerous. In short, fairness rarely includes arbitrariness.
The positive side of this is that I believe that the "three strikes" laws will have a long-term deterrent effect. But it is important that its impact on the judicial system itself is understood.
Another aspect of access to justice is financial. A person's financial resources are too often the deciding factor of whether he can or can't utilize his rights in the justice system. I've seen and heard of many cases of people criminally charged who, due to lack of money, were unable to meaningfully defend themselves or obtain adequate representation. Instead, they were forced to take the path of least expense and resistance and plead guilty to an offense — simply because they could not afford to sit in a time-consuming trial or otherwise show that they were innocent.
But if we look at how court time ties into the issue of money, we see another side. A person with little financial resources accused of a minor criminal offense may get just minutes of court time, even though his record, his ability to obtain desired employment or even his liberty may be at stake. Yet a civil business dispute between two well-to-do parties will routinely receive months of court time and attention.
This problem is not limited only to the criminally charged. There is also the person who has suffered the loss of his rights or been cheated and whose only remedy seems to be through the courts — but how can he get there? The cost of hiring good civil lawyers is so great as to virtually guarantee that only the financially robust can even bring a grievance to court.
I have spoken to a number of attorneys who want to do something about this problem. One innovative solution which I have seen is organizations like Legal Corps of Los Angeles, a non-profit organization with individual lawyers who are sponsored by major corporations to provide legal services to the underprivileged. The lawyer's annual salary and expenses are paid by his sponsor, and he in turn takes on people in need of legal services as his clients. Similar organizations have appeared in California and across the country.
While we have to go much further to solve the problem of money controlling access to the courts, I think that efforts like these are positive and should be both encouraged and expanded.
Reforms Needed: One of the areas which I've felt was in need of change for some time is the handling of individuals charged and convicted of crimes.
I don't feel that society is best served by simply locking people up. Statistically, this has hardly been shown to be a deterrent to crime. Real rehabilitation programs, and giving people with certain types of convictions, such as drug offenses, the chance to work with the court and clean themselves up — and prove that they can stay clean — actually save money and help the individuals concerned to make real lives for themselves.
Programs such as the Drug Court are very positive, but they are also too scarce. Citizens and the courts should both work more toward rehabilitation and doing more with individuals to replace their unlawful ways with constructive and positive ones which they can then use in life.
Essentially, I think that everyone who comes before the court should be treated as an individual, and if they are given a chance to change their lives for the better — and they do so — everyone wins. And we "lose" one criminal in the process as he becomes a contributing citizen again.
Punitive (meaning, literally "to punish") damages is another area where reform is needed. Regardless of whether or not you support punitive damages "caps" (which would limit awards to a set amount or some multiple of the "actual" damages), no one can deny that huge awards almost always result in undeserved enrichment. The plaintiff shows he suffered damage, proves to what degree he did, and, if he prevails, is given a monetary award matching what he was able to prove.
But if the judge or jury deems it appropriate to punish the defendant by way of an additional, punitive damages award, under the current system, the plaintiff gets all of that, too. But why? It wasn't money he lost — otherwise, it would be a part of the actual, or compensatory, damages award.
One innovative solution I've heard for this is to require one-third of all punitive damages awards to go to the courts or local governments. This could then go toward much-needed improvements in the courts and their facilities, such as remedying uncomfortable courtrooms and jury rooms in some courts, which are really unfair to both the judges and the jurors who use them.
In any case, it is an issue fertile for improvement. Equal Justice: In my many years in Los Angeles, I've seen two major incidents of civil unrest which related to justice issues: the 1965 Watts riots and the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The awful acts of violence and destruction were certainly criminal; but they were also acts of mistrust. Both were, without a doubt, partly the result of lack of confidence in the courts and the justice system.
We have a different situation today, but many of the issues which were sensitive or explosive in 1965 and 1992 are still so today: prejudice, uneven treatment, injustice. I grew up in Compton, California, and I understand these issues from all sides. Like most who grew up around me, I was taught to suspect the police and other law enforcement.
The best way to overcome these barriers is to help people get involved and better understand the judicial system. After all, it is a product of their collective direction and the officials they elected to govern them. And it contains many strong points, all intended to treat citizens fairly and guarantee access to justice.
Many courts in California hold "community law days" and similar opportunities for the public and the judges to meet, talk and understand each other better. Such activities should be undertaken very broadly and I hope to see these nationwide. The important thing is to better understand the system, and to learn how to work with it — and resolve grievances when they exist.
I also feel that seeing more diversity amongst the bench and bar, which we have seen much more of in recent years, has its part.
I think the most important issue from the bench itself is to stress equity over rigidity and to encourage more rehabilitation alternatives which offer successful programs.
The Future: The judicial system, with all of its problems, has often served us well and it was clearly the intention of the founding fathers to see it succeed. I think the most important issue from the bench itself is to stress equity over rigidity and to encourage more rehabilitation alternatives which offer successful programs. The public also needs to see that they are heard and that they communicate their concerns in forums where they can be voiced.
By the same token, we must all be mindful of the importance of not letting the judiciary become further "politicized." A judge's job is to follow the law, not serve a political end or an ideological agenda. So long as this is understood — on both sides — communication and efforts to enhance understanding of both sides should be undertaken and should prove worthwhile.
There is much room for improvement in the judiciary. But there are also many innovative judges and people willing to take risks to save time, money and enhance the system. I encourage them, and I encourage you, to learn more and support those efforts that do the most to make the judiciary stronger and more efficient.

TLC saves 1,120 acres in Johnston County
Danielle Herman October 15, 2019
JOHNSTON COUNTY (Oct. 15, 2019) — Triangle Land Conservancy helped save 1,120 acres just east of Smithfield on Tuesday with the purchase of Brogden Bottomlands, one of the largest unprotected natural heritage sites in TLC's six-county region, with over two miles of frontage on the Neuse River along the future Mountains-to-Sea-Trail route. This property will provide valuable open space for wildlife, water quality and future recreational opportunities.
The site, just 35 miles south of downtown Raleigh in the heart of the Neuse Lowgrounds, was among the largest tracts of privately owned undeveloped land in the region. It is the largest property TLC has ever purchased.
Brogden Bottomlands is near the Howell Woods Conservation Area owned by Johnston County Community College and provides exceptional wildlife habitat for a variety of species, including migrating birds such as warblers and waterfowl as well as fox squirrels, black bears, coyotes, bobcats and other rare species.
The Neuse Lowgrounds lie southeast of Smithfield in Johnston County where the Neuse River spreads a four-mile floodplain full of wetlands, sloughs, levees and extensive mature cypress and bottomland hardwood forests. One of the most extraordinary wilderness areas in the Southeast, the undeveloped area can be seen from space.
"This property serves as one of the key habitat corridors in our region. It is a refuge for wildlife and serves as a reservoir for stormwater in a rapidly developing area of the state and is also a carbon sink, absorbing more carbon than it releases. As our population continues to grow, conservation of properties like this are essential for our region's resiliency," said Leigh Ann Hammerbacher, Senior Associate Director of Conservation.
The property protects prime farmland, upland forest areas and a unique brown water swamp, which includes rare oxbow lakes dotted by mature cypress as well as sloughs, streams and a massive 650-acre floodplain. The large floodplain helps maintain a resilient landscape and is one of the most important types of natural areas to protect to help control downstream flooding. The property is critical for filtering impurities from the Triangle's urban stormwater runoff, as well as for absorbing stormwater and floodwaters, acting as one of the largest natural water pollution and flooding control systems on the Neuse River. In addition to over two miles of frontage on the Neuse River, another 13,000 feet of streams feed the river, including many vernal pools and wetlands.
TLC worked with the landowners to purchase the property for conservation purposes using a no-interest loan from private donors to acquire the land and prevent it from being developed, mined or clear cut. TLC will now secure funding from private and public resources and work with partners to develop the preserve for public use in the future. The site is not currently open to the public, but TLC will arrange guided hikes and tours in the future.
Triangle Land Conservancy, the local land trust serving the six-county Triangle area, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving land and protecting water quality for a healthier and more vibrant community. This project coincidentally was finalized just in time for the National Land Trust Alliance's Rally, the largest gathering of land trust representatives in the country, which comes to Raleigh for the first time this week. Over 2,000 conservationists and land trust employees will be coming together at the Raleigh Convention Center.
"Last year, we set a goal to double the pace of conservation in the Triangle by protecting 1,000 acres per year until 2025. With the protection of this property and the support of the community, we are confident we will protect 25,000 acres by 2025. We cannot think of a better way to celebrate conservation with our colleagues from around the country than by saving an additional 1,120 acres just downstream of the conference," said Sandy Sweitzer, TLC's Executive Director.

Last night, Noah and I, attempted (without success) to put the trailer tire back on the rim. I am convinced that someone crept out to my trailer in the middle of the night and put a larger thinner tire on the rim.
Perhaps I'm paranoid but, then again, is it so inconceivable that someone bought a different tire, aged it so I wouldn't notice, then waited for the tire to come off the rim, then swapped my tire for theirs, and then hid and watched me fight for an hour to get a seal… all the while laughing manically? "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Well played, Tire Bandit… well played.
Well we bought a new tire, waited for the rain to pass, and then, with only a little daylight left, we decided to only take the top box from the 6 three deep hives.
To remove the bees from the supers, we smoked them until they ran down. Of course this didn't get rid of all the bees, so when I got home, I used my air-compressor to blow the rest of the bees out – that didn't work at all. Next time, I'll use the leaf blower.
The only way to keep the bees from coming into my house was to take the frames out, one by one and shake off the bees. Then two frames at a time, I carried them in. It was a totally unproductive way to go about it all.
However, as I was taking the frames out, I found 5 that had brood still in them (one with pretty young larva), so I grabbed an empty 5 frame nuc and made a split. Now I don't know if this will work, given there wasn't much pollen and the brood may have gotten chilled on the drive home. Nonetheless, I accidentally brought about 2lbs of bees to the house and this gave them a new home. If it works, then great. If not, nothing lost.
Today is my half-day at work but since it is expected to rain for the next 10 days, I will spend my time extracting the frames I brought home last night.

Die Apapa (I) war ein 1915 in Dienst gestellter Transatlantikliner der britischen Reederei Elder Dempster & Company, der am 28. November 1917 vor der Küste von Wales von einem deutschen U-Boot versenkt wurde.

Das Schiff
Das 7.832 BRT große Dampfschiff Apapa wurde 1914 im Glasgower Stadtteil Govan auf der Werft Harland & Wolff's Govan Shipyard, einer 1912 in Betrieb genommenen Außenstelle der Belfaster Werft Harland & Wolff, gebaut. Das Schiff lief am 30. September 1914 vom Stapel und wurde am 4. März 1915 fertiggestellt. Der aus Stahl gebaute Rumpf war 135 Meter lang, 17,47 Meter breit und hatte einen maximalen Tiefgang von 9,54 Metern. Das Schiff wurde für die 1852 gegründete Reederei Elder Dempster & Company Limited (oft abgekürzt Elder Dempster Lines) gebaut, die sich auf den Passagier- und Frachtverkehr zu den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada, aber auch zu ferneren Zielen wie Afrika, die Karibik, die Kanarischen Inseln und Indien spezialisiert hatte. Die Apapa wurde für den Westafrika-Service eingesetzt. Sie war eines der bis dahin größten Schiffe der Reederei.

Vierfachexpansions-Dampfmaschinen mit einer Leistung von 516 nominalen Pferdestärken trieben das Schiff an und beschleunigten es auf eine Maximalgeschwindigkeit von 14 Knoten. Die Apapa hatte zwei Propeller, einen Schornstein und zwei Masten. Sie war mit drahtlosem Funk und Kühlanlagen zum Transport frischer Lebensmittel ausgestattet.

Die Apapa hatte zwei Schwesterschiffe, die 7781 BRT große Appam und die 7.782 BRT große Abosso (I), die beide bereits 1912 bzw. 1913 in Dienst gestellt worden waren. Die Appam wurde im Januar 1916 mit 319 Menschen an Bord auf dem Nordatlantik von dem deutschen Hilfskreuzer Möve aufgebracht. Die Kaperung sorgte für internationale Schlagzeilen. Die Abosso wurde nur wenige Monate vor der Apapa ebenfalls von einem deutschen U-Boot versenkt.

Versenkung
Am Mittwoch, dem 28. November 1917 passierte die Apapa bei einer Geschwindigkeit von 13 Knoten die Insel Anglesey in der Irischen See. Die Apapa kam mit 129 Passagieren, 120 Besatzungsmitgliedern sowie Post und Fracht an Bord aus Sierra Leone (Westafrika) und befand sich auf dem Weg nach Liverpool. Das Kommando hatte Kapitän James Thomas Toft, der sieben Monate zuvor die Versenkung des Schwesterschiffs Abosso überlebt hatte. Die Apapa war leicht bewaffnet, fuhr aber ohne Geleitschutz. Es war eine klare Nacht mit ruhiger See.

In den frühen Morgenstunden wurde die Apapa drei Seemeilen nordöstlich von Lynas Point vor der Stadt Amlwch von U 96 achteraus gesichtet. U 96 war ein deutsches U-Boot der Klasse Mittel U, das sich unter dem Kommando von Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Jeß auf Feindfahrt befand. Jeß ließ tauchen und, nachdem das Schiff eine 20-Grad-Wendung zum Land hin vollzogen hatte, setzte er ohne Vorwarnung zu einem Heckangriff an. An Bord der Apapa wurde das U-Boot nicht registriert. Um 04.10 Uhr morgens schoss U 96 aus etwa 300 Metern Entfernung einen Torpedo ab, der die Apapa in Hecknähe an der Steuerbordseite traf. Die Erschütterung war so groß, dass viele schlafende Passagiere aus ihren Betten geworfen wurden. Der Maschinenraum wurde sofort geflutet. Kapitän Toft ordnete das Anhalten der Maschinen an und ließ das Schiff untersuchen.

Nachdem der Schaden an der Steuerbordseite festgestellt worden war und sich zeigte, dass die Apapa auf ebenem Kiel sank, befahl Toft das Aussetzen der Rettungsboote. Während der Überfahrt hatte es zwei Notfallübungen gegeben und jeder Person an Bord war ein Platz in einem der Boote zugewiesen worden. Passagiere und Besatzung verhielten sich entsprechend geordnet und diszipliniert. Zehn Minuten nach dem ersten Angriff, während die Evakuierung in vollem Gange war, schlug ein zweiter Torpedo mittschiffs in der Steuerbordseite ein und löste eine noch heftigere Explosion als der erste aus. Die Stromversorgung brach zusammen, was das Mustern von Passagieren und Besatzung erschwerte. Der Dampfer krängte plötzlich schwer nach Steuerbord und mehrere noch in den Davits hängende Rettungsboote wurden überschwemmt. Rettungsboot Nr. 9 mit 20 bis 30 Personen darin wurde in die Luft gesprengt, da der zweite Torpedo genau unter ihm detonierte.

Rettungsboot Nr. 3 verfing sich in der Takelage des sinkenden Schiffs. Mehrere Passagiere sprangen aus Angst aus dem Boot und ertranken, aber das Boot kam kurz danach frei. Als sich das Schiff auf die Seite legte, rissen die Spannseile des Schornsteins, der daraufhin umkippte und auf ein Rettungsboot prallte, welches gerade zu Wasser gelassen worden war. Nur drei Menschen aus diesem Boot überlebten. 18 Minuten nach dem ersten Treffer ging die Apapa mit dem Heck voran unter. 37 Besatzungsmitglieder, darunter der Leitende Offizier, der Leitende Ingenieur und der Chefsteward, sowie 40 Passagiere, darunter mindestens sieben Frauen, kamen durch die Versenkung ums Leben. Kapitän Toft blieb bis zuletzt mit dem Leitenden Offizier auf der Kommandobrücke und ging mit dem Schiff unter. Toft wurde kurz danach an einem kieloben treibenden Rettungsboot klammernd gefunden und gerettet.

Die Überlebenden wurden einige Stunden nach der Versenkung von einem Patrouillenboot der Royal Navy und einem Trampdampfer aufgenommen. Viele der Geretteten zeigten sich in Zeitungsinterviews sehr wütend über den Vorfall und bezeichneten die Deutschen als "Hunnen" und die Tat als "kaltblütigen Mord" und "brutale und unnötige Gefühllosigkeit". Besonders die Tatsache, dass auf das bereits sinkende Schiff noch ein zweites Mal geschossen und somit eine ordnungsgemäße Evakuierung verhindert wurde, wurde angeprangert. Die meisten Betroffenen und auch die Presse gingen davon aus, dass es ohne den Fangschuss keine Toten gegeben hätte.

Unter den Toten waren Alfred Farrar, stellvertretender Kolonialminister für Sierra Leone und die Goldküste sowie Arthur E. Hebbes, Wahlkampfleiter des konservativen Parlamentsabgeordneten Sir Douglas B. Hall und Wahlvorstand der Conservative Party für die Stadt Lowestoft in Suffolk. Die Apapa sank auf der Position .

Powerhouse Q&A with Bill Hughes
A Hudgens has been in the cockpit flying Montgomery Aviation forward for more than 70 years. The Fixed Based Operator company that Bill Hudgens now owns was started by his father in 1945, making it the oldest FBO continually operated by its founding family in the state. That's a long flight, requiring multiple course adjustments along the way, but Hudgens still loves the business and is in the process of expanding and upgrading Montgomery Aviation's facilities.
What does Montgomery Aviation do?
We are a Fixed Base Operator for private aircraft located at Dannelly Field. We are basically a private aviation terminal and service station. We sell fuel, provide hangar space and storage for planes, a pilots' lounge and other services, including maintenance and flight training through a company called Box Aviation, for aircraft owners, be they private or corporatate.
Give us a brief history of Montgomery Aviation.
My father and a few other investors founded it in 1945. They opened up using old surplus WWII planes. The company at that time offered charter flights, which we no longer do. My dad was also a flight instructor, and the company was a Piper distributor.
How long have you been in the business?
I was always out here as a kid and always knew I wanted to do this. I got an aviation management degree at Auburn University, and for a little polish, I went to Harvard Business School. After that, I did flight instruction, I worked in the shop and did a little bit of everything.
What has changed about the private aviation business in the last few decades?
The use of private aircraft took a huge hit around the 2008 financial crisis. Some of the area companies that had and used private aircraft at that time sold their planes and have not re-entered that market. We're pumping less retail fuel than we did 10 years ago, and part of that is due to the above – fewer local owners – but the transient aircraft coming through has thinned out too. And, year over year, aircraft fuel efficiency improves. So there are some challenges.
How have you addressed them?
We have to pay close attention to service, and we do. Most everyone at our front desk and on the flight line has been here at least several years. They know what they are doing, and they enjoy what they are doing and that shows.
Since you bought Pensacola Aviation in 2012 and split your time between here and there, why stay in Montgomery?
It is home. We've put a lot of effort into this community, and we have a lot of sweat equity in this company that my father built. I'm very pleased to be in a position to continue that. And I'm proud of what Montgomery has become and is becoming. What we have accomplished is due to a lot of good people here, our Chamber and its leaders, Mayor Strange, County Commissioner Dean and many more. They have great vision and energy.
How important is the Montgomery Regional Airport to the city and its future?
It's really crucial to so much here. We have a great relationship with the airport, and it serves as a gateway for tourists and folks doing business here. Without it, our economic development efforts would be stifled. Other efforts and industries like manufacturing and the new cyber initiatives are all supported by people traveling in and out of this airport. It's the lifeline to continued progress.
We are breaking ground on a new lobby building this spring or summer and doing some pretty intense renovations on some of our hangars as well.
What's on the horizon for the private aviation industry in general?
Everyone in our industry is excited about the impact of technology on aircraft and aircraft navigation.
What do you love about your job?
I'm a pilot myself, and flying is just neat stuff. I get to do that in this job. The sensation of flying grabbed me as a little kid, and I still love it just as much. I love the other people who fly too; we share a unique bond. The aviation community is full of interesting, nice people, and I get to work with them.
FAMOUS FLYERS
Numerous celebrities have come in and out of the capital city through Montgomery Aviation over the years, giving Hudgens the opportunity to see many famous faces and meet some of them, folks like Elvis, Oprah, several U.S. presidents and lots of college football coaches. But one star that really shines to Hudgens is Ed Long, a pilot who still holds the world record for logging the most flight time: 64,396 hours and 55 minutes in his lifetime. He flew out of Montgomery Aviation.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Following yesterday's two-a-day and a hard practice today, the Seminole football team received some good news. The days of two practices are over for the week as the team will hit the fields just once a day for the next three days before breaking on Friday. The squad will reconvene in Orlando on Monday where they will hold an afternoon practice.
Andrew Datko was named a freshman All-American by Sporting News.
AP named Graham Gano and Everette Brown to its second team and Myron Rolle to the third team.
SI.com named Graham Gano to its second team and Everette Brown and Michael Ray Garvin to the third team.
Phil Steele had Graham Gano and Everette Brown on his second team.
Florida State practiced for 18 periods in full pads on the practice fields.
Christian Ponder completed three passes in 7-on-7. He connected with Caz Piurowski twice and hit Rod Owens one time. D'Vontrey Richardson found Cameron Wade and Jarmon Fortson. Drew Weatherford completed two passes to Louis Givens and one to Fortson. For the second day in a row Michael Ray Garvin had a pass break-up.
Practice ended with goal line where the offense went 2-for-4. Ty Jones ran in a TD from three-yards out and Ponder hit Greg Carr from the one. Kenny Ingram had a great tackle right at the line on a carry from the three and then the last chance from the one was snuffed out by the defense.

Doctor Who "Victory Of The Daleks" In-Depth review
By Dave Golder 2010-04-18T21:08:38.107Z
A present for all of you who remember the minute-by-minute reviews we used to do in the SFX Doctor Who specials
Back in the day, we used to do a kind of review in the SFX Doctor Who Collectors' Editions that we know a lot of you used to like (even if it was only "like to pick holes in", but hey, that's what the internet's for). The format was a minute-by-minute breakdown of the episodes with instant reactions, bits of trivia, random thoughts and even bloopers and in-jokes.
I thought, as an experiment, I'd resurrect the format for "Victory Of The Daleks", partly because I had fun doing them, partly because I've got nothing better to do and partly because the episode was so divisive.
Remember, the following is full of personal views, so feel free to attack my comments with as much vigour as you like. It's all part of the fun. Also, we have the advantage of the internet this time, so if you spot in-jokes or bloopers I didn't, feel free to submit them for possible inclusion.
And if you enjoy the following, let us know, and we might go back and do the first two episodes and continue to do them for the rest of the season.
00:00 A great, short, to-the-point teaser with a great into-the-title sequence mini-cliffhanger. The little Dalek figurine is an amusing touch.
00:19 Ian McNiece guest stars as Churchill. He certainly looks the part and during the teaser is everything you'd want from Churchill, but over the course of the episode his performance is disappointingly comedic and lightweight. At least one scene in which he gets to show that guile and steeliness that made him such a amazing wartime leader would have been welcome. Previous New Who Historical figures have been played for laughs, sure, but they've also had moments of depth and humanity. Churchill comes across more like a caricature throughout.
02:22 "You're late by the way." Matt Smith looking gawkily at his watch is a wonderfully Doctor Eleven moment. The Doctor and Churchill's relationship is great fun. But is this Doctor going to be recognised wherever he goes (re: Liz 10)? What happened to the old days when his arrival was greeted with suspicion?
03:57 Lovely FX shot of the wartime London skyscape, but aren't those barrage balloons a little low?
04:16 Okay, we've all guessed what the secret weapon is, but it's still cool to see (and hear) the Dalek's weapon in action destroying the Stukkas, before we actually get to see the Dalek.
04:19 The army-fatigue Dalek is just a brilliant image, and it makes a great entrance. Its muted armour against the sandbags seems much more impressive than rainbow legion of Next Gen Daleks we get to see later.
04:49 MYTHOLOGY "I am your soldier," is clearly a reference to the Daleks' similar pledge of servitude – "I am your servant" – in "Power Of The Daleks" (1966).
05:10 Doctor Eleven's disgusted reaction to the DalekS is reminiscent of Doctor Nine's in "Dalek". Great nervous jittery performance from Matt Smith that sets him apart from his two immediate predecessors, though.
05:27 TRIVA The Dalek voice is referred to as "Tannoy" on the blueprints. Tannoy did supply the armed forces with PA systems during WWII.
05:45 SCOTLAND Amy: "A Scottish genius too."
05:59 SHOT OF THE EPISODE: beautifully framed, wonderful expression from Matt, and a Dalek that couldn't look more devious than it tried. There's more threat, tension and power in this one shot than the rest of the episode put together.
06:12 How many fans will make their own versions of this poster? Expect to it pressganged into use as Avatars internet-wide? Wouldn't be as good with the tubby, Lego Daleks, would it?
06:34 This is just brilliant. The Doctor helpless to convince Churchill of the monsters he is harbouring as the Daleks innocent (but spookily) perform mundane duties, like carrying files and making tea. This is the episode at its best. Matt plays the unease superbly.
06:43 MYTHOLOGY Amy: "What would I know about the Daleks?" Intriguing. So Amy knows nothing about the Dalek invasion of Earth in either "Doomsday" (2006) or "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" (2008). Where does this lass come from? Is it somehow connected to the cracks in time?
07:41 GREAT LINE: "Love a squaddie." This is a great little scene for Amy.
08:26 Matt's delivery of, "Shut it!" to the Dalek is a delight. It's in these moments he truly is a new Doctor. There's nothing Tennant – or any other previous Doctor – about is at all.
09:32 GREAT LINE "Would you care for some tea?" You have to chuckle as a Dalek spouting that. But at the same time, it's so creepy…
09:48 SCOTLAND "Not bad for a Paisley boy."
11:24 GREAT MOMENT This attack on the Dalek with wrench is blisteringly powerful, and quite extraordinary, a true stand-out moment in the episode, well written and unexpected. You can just feel Doctor Eleven's pent-up frustration bubbling over. Great sound FX too.
12:27 "Correct!" And so, everything starts to go a little bit awry. Just over a quarter of the way into the episode and the best thing about the episode – sneaky Daleks ingratiating themselves into the war effort – is dispensed with. Up until now this has been a pretty decent episode with lots of intrigue and atmosphere, but from here on in the tone changes into more of s romp. An enjoyable romp, with lots of fun moments, but somehow a but lightweight after the set-up (and for the return of the Daleks). Shame, really, that the atmospheric build up couldn't have continued longer with a couple more plot twists before the big reveal. The pacing just seems very lopsided – it's like 12 minutes of plot and 25 minutes of denouement.
12:31 "Review testimony." Having said that, the "testimony" angle is a fascinating new hook.
12:47 Great FX shot! You can't beat a good clapped out spaceship hiding behind the moon!
12:56 Well, there have been gags about Daleks being pepper pots since 1963, but we never thought a Dalek pepper shaker would actually become canon.
13:30 Wasn't expecting that! The Dalek's shoot off Bracewell's hand revealing him as a robot. "We created you."
13:58 "I was their plan." They seem to have missed a trick here. Surely the Doctor would be even more aggrieved by the fact that he's just goaded the Daleks into antagonistic mode?
14:49 BLOOPER Or is it? It seems so deliberate you wonder if it's a stylistic choice. As the TARDIS dematerialises Amy's hair blows in the wind away from the ship, but Churchill's (possibly CG-enhanced?) cigar smoke floats towards the ship.
16:06 GREAT LINE "How about that cuppa now then?"
16:12 The TARDIS self-destruct, aka, a Jammie Dodger – brilliant touch. One of the episode's masterstokes.
16:43 "One ship survived." Oh, doesn't it always?
17:33 "A solution was devised." "Yes, yes, yes, me, my testimony." Again, wouldn't the Doctor be more aggrieved that he has helped to create a new race of Daleks? Matt's performance here seems to lack a certain gravitas, but that's partly because the script isn't really giving him much to work with. It seems a bit too, "Doctor rant by numbers."
18:15 The shot of the lights coming on in London lacks the necessary clout because 1) it's actually a pretty perfunctory FX shot, and b) we haven't been given an indication in the script how important the blackout was. It needed more build up than one comedy old gent yelling, "Switch that light out." Plus, how many Londoners does it take to unscrew a light bulb?
19:50 MYTHOLOGY Ah, that old Dalek control room sound effect again, in use since 1963. And put to great use here.
20:15 And introducing the Teletubby/Lego/Teenage Turtle Daleks. These multicoloured monsters look like they've come for the Dorothy auditions a programme too early. And the humped backs give them a really silhouette that looks slightly odd and comical. They look impressive from some angles, but overall, despite the extra height, they look a bit cartoony. I know some people hate them. I don't, but certainly prefer the more classic design. Maybe they'll grown on us. And how, exactly, does Dalek DNA create new casings?
21:01 Bracewell's self-loathing at discovering what his true nature is a nice touch, but is dealt with in a rather off-hand, half-hearted way. It needed to have a more emotional sting.
23:00 Love the way the new Daleks so casually destroy the old ones – it's a very Dalek thing to do – but you can't help be sad that we seem to be saying goodbye to the superior, old design.
23:12 GREAT LINE "Blimey, what do you do to the ones who mess up?"
23:21 GREAT LINE "Don't mess with me, sweetheart." Delivered so deliciously, this has already become a a but of an internet meme (just Google the phrase)
23:36 "At last! Are they ready?" Oh dear. We're supposed to believe Bracewell has created space-worthy Spitfires (and a Dalek scanner) in, seemingly , his tea break? That's not stretching credulity, it's blowing credulity up with an atom bomb. A simple extra line about, "What about those prototypes you had ready?" or something would have helped. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Spitfires in space – that's just an audaciously silly piece of New Who audacity that's enormous escapist. But come on, there needs to be some kind of logical context!
24:42 GREAT LINE "Alright, it's a Jammie Dodger, but I was promised tea."
24:55 ELEVENISMS Doctor does his spinny heels thing
25:10 ELEVENISMS Doctor: "Ho Hoooooooo!"
25:13 Unfortunately, this Elevenism is immediately followed up by a Tenism, "You beauty." The writers really should avoid putting words in Matt Smith's mouth that immediately make viewers think of Tennant. It's a dangerous game to play.
25:15 These FX shots of the Spitfires versus the Dalek ship are beautiful. Classic Who imagery.
25:34 TRIVIA "Broadsword to Danny Boy." That's a line taken from one of writer Mark Gatiss's favourite war films, and it's also Gatiss providing the voice.
27:47 ELEVENISMS Doctor: "Ha Haaaaaaaaa!"
28:04 "Bracewell is a bomb." That's as near as we'll get to a Dalek saying, "Touché" or twiddling its moustache
28:54 "Then choose Doctor. Destroy the Daleks or save the Earth." It's a great moral dilemma, but again, it's not played up enough in the script, leaving Matt Smith to try to convey everything with a sulky grimmace.
30:13 SONIC SCREWDRIVER Opening up Bracewell, then fiddling about with his innards.
30:22 MYTHOLOGY The Daleks previously used a time corridor in "Resurrection Of The Daleks" (1984).
30:26 The Daleks count in Rels, the system created in the first '60s Peter Cushing Doctor Who movie, and reintroduced into New Who in "Doomsday" (2006),
30:56 "Tell me about your life." Hmmmm, convincing a robot to get in touch with its inner feelings to defuse a bomb? Ladies and gentlemen, logic has just left the building. Shame, because this is actually a quite powerful, touching scene, derailed by the fact that it makes no sense. All it needs is some line about, "If he gains control of his emotions he can gain control of his programming." Or something – anything – to make it more palatable.
33:00 "Dorabella!?" You've gotta love the Doctor's reaction.
33:51 "You're brilliant. And you're brilliant." Again with the Tenisms! Stop it! Stop it now!
35:09 ELEVENISMS Doctor claps his hands.
35:20 TRIVIA This shot of the soldiers is clearly supposed to evoke the classic image of American soldiers planting the flag on Iwo Jima. Not sure why.
36:24 It seems like the Doctor is about to paraphrase Churchill's "Darkest hour" speech, but he never quite gets round to it.
37:27 "KBO" was a phrase coined by Churchill, standing for, "Keep buggering on." Watch it pass into popular internet usage from here on…
37:36 This scene with the Doctor convincing Bracewell to go on the run is amusing and touching but goes on a bit…
37:38 IN JOKE "I've been expecting you, Doctor." With his black glove and lab coat Bracewell now looks like Dr No, and paraphrases a Bond cliché
39:20 GREAT LINE Amy: "So you have enemies, then?"
The Doctor: "Everybody's got enemies."
Amy: "Yeah, but mine's the woman outside Budgens with the mental Jack Russell. You've got, you know, arch enemies."
40:33 THE CRACK! Not sure why some people have a problem with the cracks being so obvious. It's clearly not meant to be an-joke to only be picked up by fans. It's part of an arc plot that Moffat clearly wants everyone to notice.

GoldMining Completes Acquisition of Yarumalito Gold Project in Colombia
Canada NewsWire
VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2019
Yarumalito acquisition further expands GoldMining's portfolio of gold-copper projects in the Mid Cauca Belt of central Colombia;
The Mid Cauca Belt is host to several multi-million ounce gold deposits including Buritica (Continental Gold Inc. – Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd.), Titiribi and La Mina (GoldMining), Nuevo Chaquiro (Anglogold Ashanti Limited – B2Gold Corp.) and Marmato (Gran Colombia Gold Corp.);
Yarumalito hosts both bulk-tonnage, gold-copper porphyry and high-grade, intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization;
18,540 m of historic drilling (55 holes) completed on the Project;
GoldMining has engaged an independent qualified person to verify historic exploration results and undertake a resource estimate, which will be documented in an updated technical report; and
Total consideration of $1,200,000, payable in common shares, and $200,000, payable in cash.
VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2019 /CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD; OTCQX: GLDLF) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated November 4, 2019, the Company has completed its indirect acquisition of the Yarumalito Gold Project located in Central Colombia (the "Project").
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company's indirect subsidiary paid $200,000 in cash and delivered 1,118,359 newly issued common shares of the Company to Newrange Gold Corp. (the "Vendor" or "Newrange") in consideration for the Project. In addition, the Company's subsidiary granted the Vendor a 1% net smelter returns royalty, which can be re-purchased by it at any time before the completion of a feasibility study on the Project in consideration for $1,000,000.
The GoldMining Shares issued under the transaction are subject to a four month and one day hold period and certain additional ongoing resale restrictions pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
Yarumalito is located approximately 75 km southwest of the city of Medellin in the Department of Antioquia in Central Colombia and approximately 40 km south of GoldMining's La Mina Project (Fig. 1). The Project is comprised of one concession for a total area of approximately 1,453 Ha. Nearby projects include Anglogold Ashanti Limited's advance-stage Nuevo Chaquiro copper-gold project and Gran Colombia Gold Corp.'s Marmato Gold Mine. The Project is accessible by paved road with nearby high-capacity power lines, water and labour.
The Project is largely underlain by volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Miocene Combia Formation and comagmatic intrusive bodies of intermediate composition. Gold-copper porphyry stockwork mineralization is spatially related to the intrusive bodies with younger, intermediate sulphidation epithermal veins cross-cutting the porphyry mineralization.
Newrange has disclosed that exploration programs by Newrange and their senior mining company partners from 2008 to 2013 outlined several geophysical and geochemical anomalies across the property including the Obispo, La Suiza, Balastreras, Escuela, El Guaico and El Sucre targets. Diamond drill programs (18,540 m in 55 holes) during that period primarily focused on the Balastreras-Escuela mineralization, which has a surface projection of approximately 1,700 m by 400 m and is intersected in drill holes and underground workings to a depth of 600 m (Table 1).
Table 1: Selected historic drill intersections from the Balastreras-Escuela targets.

GoldMining has not completed sufficient work to verify these exploration and drilling results, however the Company believes the historical exploration work is relevant to any future exploration and as an indication of the potential of the Project. A technical report was completed prior to these exploration programs for Newrange by Richard J. Thompson of Thompson Consulting titled "Yarumalito Project Technical Report" with an effective date of November 30, 2006.
GoldMining has engaged an independent qualified person to, among other things, complete a technical report for GoldMining on the Project, including verifying historic exploration results and completing a resource estimate for the Project.
GoldMining expects future exploration programs will look to expand mineralization outlined at the Balastreras-Escuela targets and drill test the four additional geophysical and geochemical anomalies.
Paulo Pereira, President of GoldMining Inc. has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release. Mr. Pereira holds a Bachelor degree in Geology from Universidade do Amazonas in Brazil, is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 and is a member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

Transit-Oriented Development Tip: When in Doubt, Just Blame Politicians
by Ruth Samuelson March 18th, 2009 September 29th, 2020
Yesterday, I blogged about a critical letter I received. Let me summarize it: Dear classist reporter lady. Don't forget that buses can be part of transit-oriented development too—-even though they "are not chic in DC and it's mostly poor people and those of color who ride them, along with senior citizens in Ward 3."
The letter was concerning a story I wrote about a proposed Brightwood luxury apartment building. I reasoned that luxury minus Metro was going to be a problem. The writer said the closest bus line—-the Metro Extra 79—-was very dependable.
To this I responded that buses were less reliable than Metro, and anyway "at no point in my reporting did a single source—the developer, Councilmember Bowser, any ANC commissioners—extoll the virtues of the MetroExtra 79 with the same zeal you did."
Well, I heard back from the guy. Turns out we agree on something!
"Your point just reinforces my view that DC leadership has no respect for good bus service and doesn't pay much attention to it. They drive. (My career has been mostly in the public transportation field and I don't own a car.) Since vast portions of the District are a far distance from rail stations, we'll never have good mass transit for everyone until the bus system is brought up to par."
About a month ago, the Post reported that Jim Graham, the new WMATA chairman, doesn't use the Metro very often. But hey, he's no different from many people on the board, who barely ride the trains or buses.
I too have no car, and no plans to buy a car. And even though I walk to work, I tend to use the Metro system at least once a day to get around somewhere. When I'm standing waiting for one of the 14th Street buses to come, and all I can see are "Not In Service" buses rolling by, I get deeply irritated.
And you know what deep irritation can produce? Change! Improvements! But it's hard to imagine a group of Metro officials and developers having a real, genuine dialogue about transit-oriented development if none of them actually use the Metro. All councilmembers interested in development in their wards should know which bus and train lines work and which ones are lagging. After all, the people paying rents will want to know.

Ex-dist. judge to monitor Odisha woman teacher's murder probe
Satyasundar Barik
BHUBANESWAR, December 01, 2021 05:18 IST
The Orissa High Court has nominated A.B.S. Naidu, former district judge, to monitor the investigation into the murder of woman teacher Mamita Meher.
The development comes ahead of the winter session of the Odisha Assembly, in which the murder issue may dominate.
The State Government had requested the High Court to nominate a sitting or retired judge of the court or a district and sessions judge to monitor the investigation into the murder case to ensure transparency.
"Based on the request, the court has nominated A.B.S. Naidu, former district judge, to monitor the investigation," Government sources said.
Meher, a teacher at Mahaling in Kalahandi district, had gone missing on October 8 and the body was traced on October 19. She was reportedly strangulated to death by Gobina Sahu, promoter of the school.
Police said the accused killed Meher to prevent her from revealing his extramarital affairs. However, the Opposition parties alleged that Minister of State for Home Dibya Shankar Mishra, who had close links with Mr. Sahu, was shielding him. The suspicion stemmed from the fact that the murder accused managed to give police the slip from a barrack.
Both the BJP and the Congress said they would corner the Naveen Patnaik Government demanding the sacking of Mr. Mishra.
The winter session of the Assembly begins from December 1.

Finally autumn is here and I'm so excited for the winter months to kick in!
I love cosy evenings when it's raining/snowing outside and I'm all cosy and warm in bed but I can hear the rain on my window! I love wearing autumnal colours too and big scarves.
I am a sucker for a hot chocolate and I really like the Options orange hot chocolate flavour. If you haven't tried it already then you definitely should!
I LOVE the Ice Cranberry Yankee candle! It smells sooo good.
My favourite autumn lipstick is 100% Kate Moss 107 lipstick. I think most bloggers out there also love this lipstick. It suits most skin tones and is so nice on.
I always use my Garnier Moisture Match moisturiser regardless of whether it's summer or winter as I suffer from dry skin all year round, so I'd say that was my go to autumn moisturiser.
I love a gold smoky eye during the autumn and this year I've been loving cranberry eyes and a bold lip (my Kate Moss 107 of course).
I don't watch a lot of movies but to be fair but I love watching the Holiday as this puts me in a very christmassy mood!
My big wooly jumpers and fur coat.
In bed when it's cold and rainy outside and I'm tucked in bed with my blankets a cup of tea and my fairy lights on watching the x factor!
I've been a devil twice now and a dead cat, as well as a killer nurse and this year I'm thinking of going as a corpse bride so I think this will be my favourite one!
I also tag every single person reading this blog right now! Make sure you let me know in the comments once you've done it!
The Kate Moss lipstick is gorgeous! I'm so excited for fall because I just want to wear cosy jumpers and drink hot chocolate all day, although it's still a bit too warm for jumpers right now where I live.
Love a good cheese toasty and a cup of tea!

CDC director 'not shy about his Catholic faith,' says Baltimore pastor
Dr. Robert Redfield, a Catholic who is director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testifies about coronavirus preparedness and response to the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington March 11, 2020. (CNS photo/Joshua Roberts, Reuters)
When Msgr. Richard Woy sees Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on television these days flanked by medical experts issuing the latest guidance on the novel coronavirus he doesn't just see one of the top health officials in the U.S., he sees one of the faithful.
Msgr. Woy, rector of Baltimore's Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, said when he met Redfield and his wife, Joyce, "they had been active parishioners here for decades."
As Redfield helps lead the federal response to the growing threat of coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, his pastor and friends say his years of work studying viruses along with his deep Catholic faith will help guide the country through the crisis.
"Dr. Redfield is not shy about his Catholic faith. And I think it does not compromise in any way his work as a scientist," Msgr. Woy told the Catholic Review, the media outlet of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. "I do not believe he sees any contradiction between the two whatsoever."
While they are spending most of their time in Atlanta, where the CDC is based, Msgr. Woy said the Redfields have returned to Baltimore on weekends and attended Masses at the cathedral in February, serving as extraordinary ministers of holy Communion.
Although Redfield was unavailable for an interview, he said in a statement that the faith community will play an important role as the pandemic continues.
In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archbishop William E. Lori has closed Catholic schools, issued a dispensation for Mass attendance and taken other measures to limit the spread of the disease. On March 14, the archbishop canceled all public Masses "until further notice."
"I have witnessed firsthand the impact of the faith community's work in global disease outbreaks," Redfield said in his statement. "The same compassion, counsel and care will be just as important as we confront this new virus and as many Americans and others around the world experience disruption in their daily lives."
He added, "The faith community has always stepped in to enhance response efforts where our public health and clinical settings lack the capacity or expertise to comfort patients, families and whole communities."
Redfield came to prominence during the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s. As a military doctor serving at what was then the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, he was the first to establish that the disease was not limited to gay men. In 1996, he founded the University of Maryland's prestigious Institute of Human Virology in Baltimore with his colleagues Dr. William Blattner and Dr. Robert Gallo.
"He has magnificent credentials in public health. He was the first to develop a classification for AIDS and HIV, the Walter Reed classification, and was published in New England Journal (of Medicine)," Blattner said. "He spearheaded the development of treatment regimens that were more reliable than the original treatments that were being rolled out."
Blattner said he and Redfield participated in one of the first conferences on HIV/AIDS with St. John Paul II, then pope, in the late 1980s.
In 2011, Redfield worked with Baltimore-based Catholic Relief Services in Haiti to help treat those injured by a devastating earthquake. With the University of Maryland, Redfield had also been active in Haiti to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, mirroring his earlier work with the U.S. government in Africa.
Blattner praised the CDC's response to the coronavirus pandemic thus far, saying the decision to ban travel from China, where the virus originated, bought the country valuable time.
"Dr. Redfield was on top of this. I mean, as soon as there was a sniff of something going on, they were on it in terms of what was going on over there. And then rapidly started to develop strategies," Blattner told the Catholic Review.
He noted that the highly publicized problems with COVID-19 testing kits were an early setback, but he said the components are fairly sophisticated and viewed it as a short-term problem.
However, Redfield is not without controversy; many public health advocates questioned his appointment to the CDC in 2018.
Blattner attributed the opposition to politics. He said unlike many scientists, Redfield is staunchly opposed to abortion and favors abstinence over birth control measures such as condoms to stop sexually transmitted infections such as HIV.
"Whenever you're a high-profile person and you have a strong face and you have strong political leanings that are pro-life and so on and so forth, you are going to come under attack," Blattner said.
Redfield joined other top health officials in pushing back against some misleading information from congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump.
On March 11 during a hearing on Capitol Hill, he publicly disagreed with some members of Congress and media personalities who have attempted to label COVID-19 as the "Chinese coronavirus."
He also said physical borders such as a wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico would not stop the spread of the virus, which had been implied by Trump in a recent Tweet.
Blattner, who also is a Catholic and is a parishioner of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine in Florida, said faith in God has grounded his and Redfield's work
"I think that humility is an important gift that we're given. And when you're dealing with this kind of situation, having humility helps one to allow all of the gifted people to be able to be heard and to bring their expertise to the table," Blattner said.

On December 16, 1944, the German Army began the Ardennes offensive known as the Battle of the Bulge. On December 17, 113 American soldiers surrendered to a German armored column under the command of SS Colonel Joachim Peiper [variant: Piper]. After the American prisoners were disarmed, they were assembled in a field near Malmedy, Belgium, and shot. The German soldiers involved in this massacre of the American prisoners were later prosecuted by the U.S. Army for war crimes. In March 1949, in response to charges concerning the unfair conduct of the prosecution in the Malmedy cases, the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services appointed a subcommittee to review the Army's investigative and trial procedures. The Hon. Raymond E. Baldwin, chairman, presided over the subcommittee hearings, which were held in April, May, June, and September 1949. The subcommittee report was released by the full committee on October 13, 1949. The full text of these hearings as well as the subcommittee report are linked below.

Vin du Soleil is our pet project with obscure Rhone varietals. Each vineyard plot we work with for these wines is farmed with meticulous care. Maybe more than most, these varietals seem only to excel when the crop is tiny, so we intentionally keep the yields low to the point of unprofitability-not a problem because these wines are so much fun to make. The white is an aromatic roussanne and viognier blend, and the red–all from Beckman's Purisima Mountain Vineyard–is made with grenache, mourvedre and syrah. They're both delicious alternatives to the norm, and the red ages well.


I had an interesting childhood living part of my early life in Japan and returning later to Britain. This has given me an openness to innovative approaches and cultures.
In deciding how I would pursue a career I knew I wanted to be involved in well-being and healthcare but was conflicted about how I could best serve clients.
The big 'aha' moment for me was when I had osteopathy myself for a rib injury and realised that this approach had so much to offer. I had found my passion and over the next 4 years I attended the European School of Osteopathy leading to my Integrated Masters.
I began working with clients and my broad training programme has enabled me to work with clients on the wide range of issues they were experiencing. From the beginning, my focus was on developing a way of working that puts the client at the centre of the process and ensures I develop a holistic approach which is moulded to their needs.
As I worked with more and more clients I realised that I wanted to continue my study in order to expand my knowledge and techniques through which I could support them. I recently counted up how many hours I have spent ensuring that I keep my knowledge current and extend my expertise in areas in which I want to specialise and was astounded to find it was over 400 hours (so far).
To this end, I have completed a 2 year post-graduate diploma in women's health and am especially interested in how osteopathy can be part of the care offered to women before, during and after pregnancy. As a new mum myself I have been able to experience the changes to the body and how osteopathy can support me through the adjustments and challenges.
My focus moving forward will be to encourage new mothers to care for themselves and how they can be supported as their body has to establish a new balance and cope with the physical demands of their little ones.

Defending the Right to Dissent and Protest
Thirty women and men representing a range of justice organisations as well as a number of individuals attended. Nina Lopez-Jones introduced the workshop.
Brian Haw who started a peace camp in Parliament Square over two years ago in protest at sanctions and now war in Iraq, described Westminster Council's attempts to evict him. But the courts have upheld his right to protest in the Square, acknowledging that his protest concerned an issue of national importance and focused appropriately on Parliament where decisions are made. Michael Schwarz (pictured above left speaking), Mr Haw's lawyer from Bindman's Solicitors which has worked with LAW since 1981, explained how they used the Human Rights Act to win this precedent-setting case which overrides other statutes restricting dissent, and protects individuals acting in groups and alone.
Maria Gallastegui and her daughter who help Mr Haw sustain his continuous protest with food, laundry and other vital services, explained why they do this support work for him. Ms Gallastegui also described her community organising on a very racially mixed "no-go" estate to counter the prejudice estate people faced, which is often used to dismiss what they have to say and to contribute.
The twice-weekly community picket and open mike run by women from the Global Women's Strike (GWS), also on Parliament Square to protest the war and occupation of Iraq, has also prevented several attempts to close it down. The women have been able to rely on the earlier precedent, and on gathering support from the public and some MPs including with a press conference in the House of Commons.
Maggie Ronayne (pictured above right speaking) from the National University of Ireland reported on the case of a woman peace protestor charged with criminal damage to a war plane. The jury failed to reached a verdict. A woman who had lived at Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp described how the women had set new legal standards by defending themselves in court, often successfully.
Chris Coverdale from Legal Action Against War compellingly described efforts to prosecute named politicians for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes using the International Criminal Court and the Geneva Convention. He said that the atrocities in Iraq were clearly grounds for prosecution. A suggestion to issue a petition was accepted.
A woman from the Yarlswood asylum seekers support group sought advice from the workshop on what to do about the judge in the case threatening campaigners with contempt of court for demonstrating outside. Niki Adams (LAW) described a similar experience and stressed the importance of not being intimidated and upholding our right to protest. What happens in court is often greatly influenced by public opinion and it is crucial that campaigners are not deterred from publicising the case and gathering support.
Protestors who had been at Fairford military base sent information. Their civil right to dissent had been severely infringed when they attempted to picket the base. A woman who participated in the 2002 Mayday protests gave an update on their case against false imprisonment.
People described feeling nervous about attending pickets and demonstrations especially since the police had started using the tactic of detaining people for hours. However, armed with precise information about their rights from the workshop, they felt encouraged to continue to exercise their right to protest.

Trying to get high quality drinking water could possibly be as simple as turning on your own kitchen faucet. If you prefer that, a reverse osmosis system in Elmira CA will be able to accommodate that for you. Good drinking water is simply that good! It not only tastes better than municipality provided water, it's even a lot better for you. The benefits of having reverse osmosis drinking water goes on and on. Continue reading the material if you're trying to find an at home reverse osmosis system in Elmira CA.
Reverse osmosis is nothing new. A reverse osmosis system, also referred to as Ultra-Filtration by the water filter industry, represents state-of-the-art in water treatment innovation. Reverse Osmosis (RO) was created in the late 1950's under UNITED STATES Government financing, as an approach of desalinating sea water, in other words it was a means to filter salt from seawater. Today, reverse osmosis has earned it's name as one of the most convenient and extensive approach to filter water. It is utilized by many water bottling plants, as well as by many markets that require ultra-refined water in manufacturing. Currently this innovative technology is readily available to residences and also offices for drinking water filtration. Reverse osmosis water is the very best quality water you could have.
It is an effective mechanical water treatment procedure for minimizing 95 % to 99 % of the dissolved mineral salts, organics and also particles by forcing the water, under pressure, via a semi-permeable membrane layer. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is the typical use for reverse osmosis along with pre-treatment for Deionization.
Reverse osmosis systems use pressure to press water through tiny pores, to develop "distilled water." While doing so, chemicals, bacteria, and also minerals are filtered through various membranes and also carbon filters.
The procedure removes lots of contaminants from water, including dissolved solids, lead, nitrate, sodium and sulfate. Based on customer information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a reverse osmosis water filter gets rid of disease-causing organisms as well as most chemical pollutants. According to North Dakota State University, it could be used in conjunction with various other filtering stages, such as activated carbon, to lower the level of pesticides, dioxins and unpredictable organic substances.
A reverse osmosis water system will certainly get rid of various water quality issues. The system assists with water contaminants, cloudy water, bad tastes or odors, as well as reduce the prices connected with acquiring bottled water.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a tried and tested technology with brand-new applications for different industries. United States Water Services' agents pride themselves on having extensive knowledge of RO water system device installment, operations, troubleshooting and cleansing procedures.
