Malawi: The Politics of Despair
By T. David Williams
Cornell University Press, 1978, 339 pp
Reviewed By Jennifer Seymour Whitaker
This lucid history of Malawi is notable for a thorough analysis of the effect of Hastings Banda's one-man rule on the country's economic development. Although 15 years of dictatorship have kept everybody down on the farm, in the view of the author the "orderliness" of Malawi's development is the result not only of repression but of the country's extreme backwardness-which has not changed much since independence.

FOR RUNWAY SAFETY AREA (RSA) IMPROVEMENTS
AT LANAI AIRPORT
LANAI AIRPORT, ISLAND OF LANAI
NPDES PERMIT NO. HI S000362
Docket No. HI S000362
The State Department of Health (DOH) tentatively proposes to issue a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to discharge storm water associated with construction activity from the Ruway Safety Area (RSA) Improvements at Lanai Airport project site, to receiving State waters, subject to special conditions to:
AIRPORTS DIVISION (DOT-AIR)
The proposed permit for the new discharge will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance.
The project is located at Kaumalapau Highway, Lanai Airport, Island of Lanai, Hawaii, TMK: (2) 4-9-02:041.
The proposed project includes extending the approach end of the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runway 3-21 at Lanai Airport. Scope includes: onsite excavation of soil and the embankment and compaction of that same soil to extend the Runway Safety Area. Other major activities include the relocation of an existing 10″ waterline onsite appurtenant with the proposed earthwork operations, glide slope critical area grading and paving and removal of navigational aids and equipment. DOT-AIR requests to discharge storm water runoff from the proposed construction site. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for storm water runoff and non-storm water sources will be implemented to minimize the discharge of erosion and other pollutants from entering receiving State waters. Post construction BMPs include permanent grassing and maintenance of graded areas.
The receiving water, Kaumalapau Gulch, is classified by the DOH as a Class 2, Inland Water. The objective of Class 2 waters is to protect their use for recreational purposes, the support and propagation of aquatic life, agricultural and industrial water supplies, shipping, and navigation.

Venice VR to be an Entirely Online Experience
in VRExperiences
2020 Aug 23, 09:00
The festival, which has incorporated VR elements since as early as 2016, will this year take place entirely online in partnership with HTC Vive, VRChat and Oculus.
Jon Favreau's highly anticipated Gnomes and Goblins will be one of the forty-four VR experiences available online.
It's 2020 and nothing is going according to plan. With widespread bans on large public gatherings and social distancing rules as a major consideration, large events need to find ways to adapt in order to survive. For the Venice Film Festival, the solution appears to be virtual reality.
Credit: LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA
Having shown interest in virtual reality since as early as 2016, the 2020 Venice International Film Festival's VR competition will take place 100% online. Hosted on a platform designed by VRrOOm and supported by giants like HTC Vive, VRChat and Oculus, Venice VR Expanded will run from the 2nd to the 12th of September. Forty-four creative pieces from twenty-four countries will be featured in the festival. These include nine 360-degree films and 26 interactive experiences, among which is Jon Favreau's highly anticipated Gnomes & Goblins.
Members of the international jury include director and screenwriter Celine Tricart, film and documentary director Asif Kapadia and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima. You can register for for free to access to a number of these projects through VRChat, Viveport and Oculus TV. For €100, users will be able to purchase Venice Accreditation status which will allow them access to further projects, as well as panels and other festival events. Venice has also partnered with a number of venues around the world to bring VR Expanded safely to a wider audience, more details on where to find your closest satellite venue can be found here.
In only a few short years, VR has gone from a novel addition to the festival to the very platform on which it is held. As VRs capabilities continue to expand with recent advancements in immersion, we can be sure that Venice VR Expanded 2020 will be only the first of many to go all-in on the VR platform.

Share: er…do you have a water drinking schedule?
A reader had left me a question on my Facebook page asking if it's all right for her to drink a lot of water daily. At that time, I had told her that it should not be a problem but it's more important to be drinking quality water. However, shortly afterwards, I found out that there is actually a dangerous medical condition called Hyponatremia, caused by drinking excessive water and resulting in one not having enough salt in the body fluids outside the cells. So I guess that's why the recommendation is always for us to drink 8 glasses of water a day. But realistically, do we really count how much water we drink? Plus, how should these 8 glasses of water be spread out in the day?
Because your body starts to dehydrate after a long night of rest, you should drink your first glass of 250cc water at this time when you wake up to help your kidney and liver to detoxify. Also, do not eat your breakfast right away but wait about half an hour after drinking your first glass of water.
If you're on the go such as traveling to school or work, you are likely to perspire and perhaps become tense because of having to rush, and your body will start to dehydrate. At this time, you should replenish by drinking 250cc of water.
If you're working in an aircon environment, you may be losing moisture and it's good to rehydrate by taking 250cc of water.
After lunch, drinking 200cc of water aids your digestion and enable the food nutrients to be better absorbed by your body.
Instead of drinking tea or coffee during your break, trying drinking 200cc of water to refresh your mind.
Drinking 250cc of water at this time will make you feel satiated and prevent any overeating during dinner.
Drinking 200cc of water half an hour after your dinner will boost the performance of peristalsis, a series of organized muscle contractions that occur throughout the digestive tract.
Drinking 150cc of water an hour before bed will help in the your cell renewal process during your sleep.
I think the timings are meant only as a guide but it's kind of interesting that water intake is not recommended every hour but almost every other two hours. And I noticed that the water drinking frequency in the morning is rather low in this water drinking schedule whereas I've actually been drinking much more water in the mornings!
So tell me ladies, do you following such a water drinking schedule or do you have your own schedule? Do you also keep track of how much water you drink per day?
Neither did I! I thought drinking water is rather adhoc but apparently it's not supposed to be…I just find this very interesting to share but to follow, well, I guess it needs some practice.
I don't really have a drinking schedule but I did heard about that water drinking schedule you mention in your post. I always drink around 250cc of water when I wake up and a little before bed. It's hard for me to follow that drinking schedule since things always change up! Anyways, thanks for sharing this informative post!
Yes, hard to follow in that sense but it's like a guide. I have to cut down a bit when I'm at home cos I tend to drink too much.
I don't have a drinking schedule too. To be exact, I don't drink that much water. I know that's bad to body but I really don't like to drink water. But I also read somewhere that it is bad to drink too much water before meals too. It will weaken the gastric acid in your stomach. No sure how true is it. But I used to practice drinking in the morning and I think it helps in detoxing.
I do drink plenty of water first thing in the morning (1 liter). And 1/2 a glass of water every hour or 1 glass every 2 hrs. My drinking stops, after 7.30 pm, to ensure I do not have water retention problem. At night, since we are mostly inactive and do not sweat, it is advised that we women do not drink at all. But I will take a sip of water every 1 to 1 1/2 hr, to ensure our body gets hydrated.
Yes, good point…to not drink so much in the night. Actually my night water drinking schedule is almost close to the recommendation I listed. I usually drink after dinner and about an hour before I sleep.
Get filtered water. In my entry I covered last week about drinking quality water, I did mention this issue. I think water from vegetables is better than from juices cos drinking too much of the latter = more sugar intake too.
I don't think I am one who can go on a timely water intake schedule. I used to have insufficient water intake, and that could be one reason that cause my constipation problem.
To prevent that, I bought myself a BROs water bottle ( 700ml ). Because 1 glass of water=250ml, I just need to remind myself to drink 3 bottles of water a day, which makes up to 2100ml.
Yeah, that's a good way to measure your intake. That's what my girlfriend does!
Agree with your post about losing too much salt by drinking too much water. In Gerson Cancer Therapy, the cancer patient is adviced to drink 13 glasses of juices (with potassium chloride ==> it is also a type of salt ==>which helps to replace sodium chloride).. we have too much sodium in our diet.. but we cannot do without salt in our tissues.. so Gerson replaced sodium chloride with potassium chloride (minimal)… since the patient is drinking 13 glasses of juices… he/she does not need to drink a lot of water (zero to only a few sips of distilled water is allowed)..
WATER Dr. Gerson forbids drinking water. You have read you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. But it is a well established fact that people who have malignant problems or other chronic diseases have poor stomach acid secretion, and when you drink water, you dilute stomach acid. This doesn't occur with juice because it is a food. If you drink water, it makes it very difficult to digest the juices. It gives you gas, it gives you an upset stomach, diarrhea and so on. So when you are on the Gerson therapy, don't drink water. You are getting 13 glasses of juice a day so you are not going to be thirsty during the day. If you are thirsty in the evening, or if you would like a cup of tea after lunch, there are herbal teas. We are very much in favour of using peppermint tea for instance. It stimulates secretion of stomach juices, settles the stomach, helps with gas and helps diarrhea. It is very soothing and very helpful. If you use water you have to use it as a tea, or in your food in soups and of course for your coffee enemas. But whatever water you use has to be clear of fluoride and chlorine.
I have no medical background to comment on this but based on a layman's point of view, I prefer to take things with moderation. I find tea diuretic and can cause more water loss. Whenever I drink one cup in the morning, I've to visit the toilet like 2 – 3 times in the hour! But like I said, I really don't know the basis for his recommendation. To forbid drinking of water sounds really radical.
Perhaps the purest water we can drink is distilled water? Coconut water may cause diarrhea for some due to the high osmotic load.
Coconut water is naturally distilled for 10 months by the tree itself and then entrapped into the coconut… so yes, it is the purest form of water..
Thanks for the link…I'll take a look when I get the time. Btw, I'll try to email you over the weekend regarding your blog question. I've just started on something new and am rather busy.
I think juices need to be moderated…there's sugar in fruits and it's not that great to drink too much. I'll still go with water and a cup or two of juice.
Hi lanie, I'm a dietitian and I most likely will not recommend anyone to drink 13 glasses of juice per day. One as sesame mentioned is the amount of sugars and calories one will be getting from all that juice. Secondly, sugar derived from fruit – fructose, together with the salts and minerals in the juice may result in diarrhea.
It is important to note that the Garson therapy was performed on seriously ill patients with cancer. This probably means that the juices were all that the patients were consuming and hence the calories wasn't an issue. In fact for seriously ill cancer patients, having more energy intake will help them to fight the battle against the cancer. Lastly, I read from your link that the Gerson therapy was written in 1958. I suppose back then medical and nutritional science weren't developed enough and complementary medicine was generally accepted. Most importantly, the advice should be read in context!
hi Liyan, glad there is a dietician in the house..
you are right about the sugar and calories, and that the 13 glasses of juice were recommended for cancer patients.. who normally have low sodium, low calorie, vegetarian diet.. however, it still is unarguable that the purest form of water we can get is from fruits and vegetables (particularly coconut water)… fruits also have natural acids which helps to control absorption of fruit sugars to the blood stream (e.g. apples have malic acid)…also Gerson therapy is not just purely fruit juice but also green vegetable juice which is very low in sugar..
my mother has been drinking or feasting in juice for almost 2 years now.. but never had diarrhea (am actually secretly wishing to have diarrhea–as both of us have chronic constipation)… there are also lots of raw foodies (google raw food world).. who feasts on nothing but pure fruit and vegetable juice.. but never had diarrhea..
I am not a dietician..not a medical practitioner.. but you will notice that all my posts always talks about this being applicable to my mother as she have cancer..
i also agree that we should not drink too much water as there runs the risk of hyponatreamia. it should be noted that hyponatreamia aka water intoxication is most commonly seen in athletes and infants. sodium is lost through sweat, and if an athlete drinks just water, the risk of water intoxication is high. the other recent fatal incident with water intoxication that i read is one on the competition to win a wii by holding on to their wee. the participant who died drank 2 gallons of water. in instances like this where a person ignores the warning signals from the body, the risk again is increased.
my stand is that if one follows one's thirst sensation and not drink to the point which one feel bloated, the risk of water intoxication is rather low. given our increasing obesity rate, dietitians/nutritionists in singapore will recommend drinking water rather than fruit juices for the ordinary folks.
while i agree that vegetable juice is good, i usually encourage people to eat the whole vegetable instead of juicing it. same goes for fruit. im not sure how you juice your fruit/vegetables, but i generally encourage people to have them "blended" to include the pulp and fibre. again, this is for the ordinary folk. for patients with poor appetite and requires the additional energy intake, i have no qualms with them juicing the fruit and vegetables.
i understand your intent to share knowledge on the goodness of fruit and vegetables to people, but sometimes people just pick up on things that they wish to hear/see. for example if an overweight individual learns that it is ok to drink 13 glasses of juice and that water is bad (when in fact water is good for them), they might just heed the advice and forgo water.
Like April Moon, I try to drink less at night. My naturopath said that water intake should be less as the day progresses. She advised me to drink the most amount of water first thing in the morning, drink water throughout the day but to stop 1-2 hours before sleep. It promotes good sleep and prevents water retention. I tried it for one week and it worked but I couldn't keep up since I'm really lazy to drink water in the morning. Then I'll gulp one glass-full before hitting the bed which makes me wakeup in the middle of the night to pee. -_- I even have a draft post about this but haven't published 'cause i was being ambitious and trying (very, very hard) to make an infographic, hahaha! I don't think I can get around to doing it since it's so time consuming.
Interestingly, when I followed my naturopath's schedule, I really stopped feeling thirsty at night. At first, I argued with her, saying I usually need at least half a glass of water before sleeping but she said it was most likely because I never drank enough water during day time (which is true, lol).
EcoBeauty last post is: 5 Simple Tips to Help you Get Started on Being an Eco Beauty!
Yes, it makes sense. I cut my intake of water after dinner. The peeing part comes whether or not I drink anything but I don't want to drink too much cos I don't want to wake up with puffy eyes.
Looking forward to your Infographics. I was considering creating that but I don't have time at all now.
Hope to see it nonetheless…I'm transiting into my new place and geez, am finding it hard to even blog on some days.
I've actually read somewhere that its not beneficial to drink large amounts of water in one go, and that its better to drink / sip smaller amounts throughout the day.
Yes, that was what I was wondering. If the schedule suggest 250cc, does it mean we have to drink all at once. It's easy to drink with filtered or mineral water but with normal water, quite hard to gulp down. Plus like what you've mentioned, it's not really beneficial to gulp that much at one go.
I never thought that water drinking could be scheduled like that. I drink plenty of water specially during this hot summer season. But never thought of scheduling it.
Neither did I. This is also very new to me.
I am aware that having a schedule is good. But I really just drink as and when I feel free and thirsty. Very bad. haha.
You think it's good? I don't know…it's kinda hard to adhere. Like you, I will be sipping my water quite frequently…as and when I'm thirsty.
8 glasses is minimal amount/day.. and that does not include coffee/tea/colas.
A friend once told me to take ur weight a divide by 2.. Say I weight 60kg, i should drink 3litre of water..
Ah…it makes sense to go by our body mass! I am under 60kg but I think I might be drinking about 3 litres on some days.
I thought we should drink water more in the mornings as opposed to the evenings!!! I do drink water, 8 glasses, but don't have a proper schedule or anything but what I think understand from this schedule is that we should distribute the water intake throughout the day instead of taking a concentrated lot of water at one time so that there is a continuous flush of water in the body!!!
Going by the schedule, morning consumption of water is higher. I also drink more in the mornings and yes, I also agree with you that water consumption should be sort of continuous.
if an overweight individual learns that it is ok to drink 13 glasses of juice and that water is bad (when in fact water is good for them), they might just heed the advice and forgo water.
OMG this post is very interesting for me because i don't drink water as much as good for me… I'm trying drink 8 glasses of water /day.
hi, sesame i enjoyed reading your post, its very interesting, but i have a serious problem, that is i cant drink more than 1 glass of water a day, at max 2, i know its very bad not just for my skin but also for my whole body.
please suggest some tips how i can over come my issue.
Is it due to the taste of the water? What about mineral water? Does it help? If not, try throwing in a lemon into your water and see if you can drink that better? Drinking some juices during the day is good too but I would advice to drink with moderation too.
Sadly, I don't have a water drinking schedule. Nevertheless, I'm glad I stumble upon this post. Now, I will have a water drinking schedule. Thanks!

All mappings use the same signature except for the nested mapping lets see some examples.

```php
$map->string('title');

$map->point('location');

$map->shape('area');

$map->nested('tag',function(Blueprint $map){
  $map->string('name');
})
```

We can provide mapping options in two ways

via fluent syntax

```php
$map->point('location')->lat_long(true)->geohash(true);
```

or via method argument

```php
$map->point('location',['lat_long'=>true,'geohash'=>true]);
```

This past year has included some major steps forward for me with trying and finding new beauty products that I like. I've never been super knowledgeable about beauty products…I grew up with exclusively brothers and definitely didn't start developing an interest in makeup or products until way after the majority of my friends.
This year, I had a serious goal of taking better and more preventative care of my skin. Confession – I have never used a face cleanser in my entire life. Seriously.
I have extremely sensitive skin, and I am pretty blessed to have basically completely clear skin, too. Anytime I tried cleansers growing up, they made my skin worse…and when I left my face alone, it looked fine! Now that I'm 24, though, I know that there are so many more things I can do to take care of my skin and help take preventative steps to keep it healthy and young down the road.
Now that I've really gotten a sense of a solid beauty routine that I love and some products that I've seen incredible results with I wanted to share them with all of you!

Buenos Aires Slums Have Too Much Water (From Flooding) But Not Enough For Drinking And Sanitation : Goats and Soda On rainy days, wastewater floods into homes. Yet on those very same days, residents often can't draw water from their taps.
View of apartments in the Villa 31 shantytown in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 25, 2017.
Margarita Garcia has two problems: Too much water — and not enough water. And often at the same time.
On a hot summer day in March, she headed home from her cleaning job and found that her street was flooded with water.
The clouds had broken with more rain than her neighborhood — a slum on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires — could handle. The water rose to her knees by the time she got to her home, the bottom floor in a four-story slapdash brick building. That morning, she'd set up a blockade using a big wooden board, but it hadn't kept the water from seeping in.
There were about six inches of water covering the floor. Most of her furniture was wet, the walls would be damp for days.
But in an ironic twist, she also needed water she couldn't get.
Her faucets and shower ran dry that night, a chronic problem that sometimes lingers only a few hours but can stretch across two or three days. With most pipes having been installed by residents — and city officials not regulating whether water pressure is strong enough to reach them — Margarita frequently finds herself unable to shower, drink or boil food.
Last year, city officials announced they would be addressing the water problems in four of the worst slum neighborhoods — a plan far more ambitious than residents there had seen in years. But execution has proven problematic and slow.
"This is the population that has its rights broken more than anyone in the city," says Pablo Vitale, coordinator of Argentina's Civil Association for Equality and Justice. "In Buenos Aires slums, we're seeing a violation of lots of rights, especially access to water."
The residents of the slums, now at around 275,000, have a long history of suffering. The neighborhoods were originally impromptu settlements built by European immigrants arriving in the 1930s and '40s. For decades, the government treated them as squatters, periodically leveling their brick and mortar homes.
During Argentina's military dictatorship in the late 1970s, an estimated 90 percent of residents in these slums, mostly from rural areas, were removed.
In the 1990s, city officials passed laws requiring that "intervention" in the slums — efforts to improve living conditions — take the place of attempts to remove them entirely. Though those laws are well-written, Vitale says, they have rarely been followed.
Streets zigzagging through the slums weren't constructed according to public code, so they're often too small for workers to enter and install improved sewage or drinking pipes. And some officials believe the area is too dangerous to work in.
Fire engines also have trouble with the narrow streets — and can't tap into enough water to put out house fires.
Community representatives say there were ten fires in one of the slums, Villa 31, in 2016, most due to the use of candles during summer blackouts. They say it's become a neighborhood responsibility to extinguish fires.
"I can't manage all of this much longer," Garcia, 38, says of the complications that come with life in destitute conditions. She says she feels frustrated that neither she nor the community have the resources to help themselves.
After the flood, Garcia's three young kids needed a bath, a drink and a bathroom they could use. Like many of her neighbors, she'd placed large plastic containers on the roof to collect rainwater, which she then boiled for drinking and cooking.
One bucket went into the toilet tank, leaving another bucket for the bath. She waits three, sometimes four days between her own showers, which is especially difficult after flood clean up. Human waste seeps onto the street even on the sunniest of days, but during a storm it mixes with the other uncollected trash from the neighborhood and flows right into her home with the floodwaters.
Waste can linger for days on the street with nowhere to drain, causing blood disorders and skin infections. Official reports have also warned of mercury, cholera, typhoid and Hepatitis A.
Last year, standing water attracted mosquitoes to one southern slum neighborhood that resulted in widespread dengue fever, community representative Marcos Antonio Chinchilla says.
Chinchilla and other residents in the slums are organizing events this year that raise awareness about diseases lingering in unclean water and by encouraging residents to purchase bottled water if they can afford to. But they say there's only so much they can do without the government assistance they were promised last year. But significant work has not yet begun.
"The government has always said it is working hard for the slums," Chinchilla says. "Then nothing happens. They spend money on posters, campaigns and promises. But we never see much of a difference."
Yet he also expresses his belief in the power of slum residents to continue organizing and encouraging Buenos Aires's government to fulfill its pledge to clear out the dirty water and bring in the clean.
"In a future that isn't so far off, hopefully everyone in the slums will have the same services enjoyed by everyone else in the city," he says. "That's my hope, that things will really change."

If the turtle is all black with one or more pale spots on its head, or no markings at all, it is a Black Marsh Turtle.
That sounds like it possibly could be a yellow-headed temple turtle, but I'd really have to see pictures. Is it possible for you to put a picture on the web somewhere?
I want to find a turthe that is of Thailand .it was kept in an aquarium for sale . I think it is a endangered species it has black body with white spots ,spots are close to each other . Size is small ,has a horney type of shell . I want you to find this species. And help me.
I have been living in Thailand for 25 years and know a lot of animals.
I live on a large 17 Rai property with a 4 Rai lake.
We normally see lots of turtles throughout the year, however today we ended up with a turtle in my smaller Water-lily pond which we have never seen before.
I do have a picture and like to know if this is a rare species to Thailand.
Best Regards and I hope to hear back form you via my Email.

Aquarius club owner says he's selling building
By Frazier Smith
The Aquarius nightclub could be on the way out of business after police and fire crews ordered "at least 400 people" out of the building last weekend because the occupancy was supposed to be capped at 49.
Monday night, club owner Wayne Kelley told News Center 7's Kate Bartley he's selling the building and evicting the tenants -- who run the club -- when their lease expires Nov. 19.
"The fire department had warned them several times. I had warned them numerous times," he said.
According to a Dayton police report, several officers were called to the club, 135 E. Second St., at 1:19 a.m. Sunday on an overcrowding/fire hazard call.
Officers shut it down after estimating that "at least 400 people" were in the club -- more than double the normal capacity and eight times the number of people allowed under a temporary order from the fire department.
Officers spent approximately 40 minutes clearing the second floor of the club, describing the mass exodus as a "continuous flow of people."
One police sergeant, whose name was not in the incident report, had apparently stopped by the club earlier in the night to warn the owner and manager that temporary capacity for the building was listed as 49 occupants.
The club was already past that number at the time the sergeant visited, and he warned club operators to thin the crowd out, according to the incident report.
Andrew Steele, a fire prevention specialist with the Dayton Fire Department said the club's occupancy had been restricted as of last month when the city revoked their public assembly permit. Steele said the club's managers had been made aware of violations of the fire code, including nonworking exit signs and problems with the fire alarm, back in the spring and had failed to fix the issues or contact the fire department.
"On Oct. 31 we posted an order on the front door," Steele said, and they informed police of the new occupancy limit.
Fire investigators said they will follow up, according to the incident report.
Last April, News Center 7 went inside the club when the city tried to pull the liquor license because city officials learned Kelley was leasing the building to the former owners of the A-List Lounge.
That's the place where a Central State University football player was gunned down two years ago.
Kelley, who said he stood by the managers then, now said they owe him rent.
"The building is up for sale," he said. "Anybody interested?"

According to Ash Baker after the Brentford match they were stern words.
Now I don't imagine Jos Luhukay replicated the famous changing room scene between Neil Warnock, Chris Morgan and Phil Jagielka but whatever his "strong words" were it got the most out of the players last week. Two wins, six points and a sense that we're going in the right direction.
The Wolves' game was as expected. Lots of changes on both sides but we faced a Wolves side who have Premier League quality in the depths of their squad. We did put in a strong performance though and that is exactly what the Manager is after. It's what we all crave.
It would have been economically better for us to stay in the Carabao Cup for a little longer. As the well known supermarket says 'Every Little Helps,' this season.
We move onto Reading, a club like us who unexpectedly climbed the mountain of the play-offs only to tumble below base camp last season. This year they are without a win, have drawn two and lost three of their matches.
In 13 away fixtures at Reading we have only won four times. Post 1980 we've only won there once in February 2014; a Chris Maguire penalty and a Benik Afobe clincher. Liam Palmer was in the team that day. A survivor from a different era.
The win before that was 21st December 1979; the day after my 1st birthday.
It's fair to say we don't travel away to Reading well, especially if you were there on the days we lost 5-0 and 6-0.
I hate to jinx us but I've got a feeling we might break the 'once every 34 years,' win ratio this weekend. Reading are at a low ebb and we have to start being more ruthless with teams in this position. It hasn't been our forte over previous seasons, beating teams in the lower half of the table but maybe, just maybe the "strong words," will continue to resonate.

When does the violation of women's bodies become a "red line"?
If people divide their understanding of militarized violence into normal and not normal, acceptable and not acceptable, it makes a terrible kind of sense: violence against women has been "normalized".
Lauren Wolfe
A line of female refugees from Syria waits to register with UNHCR in Arsal, Lebanon, November 2013. M. Hofer/UNHCR/ Flickr. Some rights reserved.
Two years ago I was on vacation in Maine when I started getting really, really mad. I'd been working to track sexualized violence in the Syrian war for a long time and had gotten very little response from policy makers despite many meetings with those in our government and the UK's and at the UN. Cases piled up, and response remained nil. And now suddenly President Obama was responding—but not to cases of rape, or torture, but to the possible use of chemical weapons. It was his so-called "red line"—the thing that would make him do something.
Much of the world long ago decided that chemical weapons were an abhorrent thing to unleash in war. More than 160 countries signed a treaty attesting to this. And I am in no way disputing that this is not a massive, massive human rights violation. But it got me thinking—why is that the red line? When does the violation of women's bodies become a "red line"? How many cases does it take? I'm not talking about random acts of violence, I'm talking about sexualized violence being carried out by armed forces under the control of a government or militia.
(To be clear, when I'm talking about Syria, this was all before Islamic State began its mass sexual slavery campaign. And we still don't know whether the Assad-related rapes in Syria have been systematic and organized from above. But we do know that the Syrian government has been made aware of them, and hence they have a legal obligation to investigate. Guess where that has gone.)
So, in those angry days, I spoke on the phone with Eve Ensler, the author of the Vagina Monologues who has been advocating for women raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo for many years. She told me something interesting:
She said that the Congolese she'd spoken to felt great empathy for the Syrians, but they were confused by the United States' immediate and overwhelming reaction when—after 16 years and 8 million people dead in their country—they are still waiting and demanding that the U.S. stop aiding Rwanda, which has long supported the M23 and other rebel groups that have destabilized Congo.
"For how many years," Ensler asked me, "have we been banging on the doors of the White House, saying thousands and thousands of women have been raped?"
Ensler, like many I spoke to, were not and are not advocating for a military intervention in places like the DRC where women bear the brunt of the fallout of war. They are asking for political intervention based on human rights violations. But still, no one seems to be listening.
For one thing, world leaders, like representatives in Congress, have turned a blind eye to the violence in a place like the DRC for a simple reason: "It does not disturb their preconceived notions about where violence is normal." That's something Yifat Susskind, the executive director of a women's human rights organization called MADRE told me. And I tend to agree.
If people divide their understanding of militarized violence into normal and not normal, acceptable and not acceptable, it makes a terrible kind of sense: violence against women has been "normalized," especially in Africa.

In an interesting parallel, I would say our national attention has not truly been ignited about the ongoing world refugee crisis, in which 4 million Syrians alone have been registered, and 13 million overall globally (not to mention 38 million people internally displaced). Mainly, these refugees have landed in surrounding countries—Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey. But now that the crisis has hit European shores (and a particularly affecting dead child's image has been plastered across the news) everyone is suddenly (sort of) stepping up, pledging to take in a few more refugees, and asking, How do I donate?
The example of the refugee crisis and the lack of action to stop violence against women in a place like Congo can be explained perhaps with one particularly damning question: Do the people at risk matter to the people in power? And the answer, it would seem, is no.
So from here, I want to imagine a world in which these people would matter. What would that look like?
Because I am a journalist, and I get to travel to actually meet the women who are so affected by this lack of foreign policy attention, I'd like to describe a few of them for you and explain how their situations could be changed by international response.
I'll start in the desert of Jordan, where a 23-year-old woman attached herself to me on a sun-blasted day at Zaatari, the refugee camp there holding approximately 150,000 Syrians. Her name was Abeer and she was the less obviously beautiful, older sister to a 16-year-old girl who had just been sold off by her parents in marriage to a much-older Libyan food distributor. He gave the girl, Reem, a watch, perfume, and water when they first met. They then married in front of a couple hundred guests at a wedding hall in the nearby town of Irbid, staying there together for a month before Reem returned to Zaatari.
When I met her she'd been waiting for him to come back to her; he was busy in Tripoli securing her a passport, she said. That he called every couple of days may have indicated he actually planned to return, but I'd been told that many men pass through Zaatari taking on brides for just days or a month or two.
Wearing only a dented gold wedding band for jewelry and with her hair covered by a pink leopard-print hijab, Reem shyly smiled when I asked her if she wants to go to Libya. Yes, she said—because her husband told her it's like Syria: "green, with lots of water." Will she miss her family when she moves to Libya? "Definitely," she said.
Abeer, however, had no such out. Swathed in a sweltering polyester abaya, she said she used to be a hairdresser in Syria. She can't do that here though. There's no equipment. No scissors, no styling products, no hairdryer. And no money to buy any. Instead, Abeer sat, day after day, sweating in a caravan in the desert not knowing when she'll ever leave, how she'll ever make money, and what she'll ever do every day that is worth more than this. The Syrian war left her nothing, like millions of her fellow refugees. Nothing is the present, nothing is the future, and the past, the past is too painful to think about. Instead, Abeer sat.
The media talks about the radicalization of bored young men in the Middle East. But is it crazy to worry not only about Abeer's mental health, but to realize that there will be many young women like her, drawn as a number of women are these days, into radical groups like Islamic State by the lure of a so-called better life? Putting aside for now that girls like her sister are being sold off into marriage, let's think about what happens to the others. Could it make actual foreign policy sense to address what happens to this lost generation of young women and for once stop thinking about the young men only? And if not for worry of them being radicalized, then for the basic reason that educating and employing young women makes economic and social sense?
And now to the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Last year I met a girl named Mireille. She held a small baby in her arms and cried. At 16, a group of militants under the leadership of a man named Morgan—who was famous for mutilating women, cutting off their vulvas and marking circles around their mouths—took Mireille. They held her for eight months in the bush, where, she said, she was raped by so many men she didn't know who the father of her baby was. "What will I do when he asks who his father is?" she said. Through tears that became choking, she described how she owned nothing more than the clothes on her back. "Who will help me now?" she sobbed.

Recently I saw that Angelina Jolie is speaking out about the Islamic State's use of rape as a policy. It was all over the media. I couldn't help though scratching my head and wondering why it's taken a year or so of these mass atrocities against women—and a celebrity—to blow up the papers like this. Now I'm watching and wondering if her finger-pointing will lead to any concrete help being put in place for the women returning from captivity traumatized and pregnant. We'll see.
I have met too many women in my reporting who have never seen or even considered justice in their lives for the crimes they've suffered. Next to nobody is prosecuting their crimes; next to nobody is handing them money or assistance. The fact is that justice is utterly unobtainable for women in many parts of the world. It is knocked aside by the larger issues of conflict, aka the male issues. There are still major problems in tribunals and with witness protection that prevent women from wanting to come forward. At a more local level, there is the problem of police—who are usually men: They laugh, bribe, or re-rape women seeking an arrest.
The unceasing cycle of violence, in part, depends on how we prioritize it. If we pay attention to all facets of conflict, as a select few are doing, if we can gain the attention of policy makers, can the world become a more peaceful place in which both women and men's lives are valued equally?
I, for one, am glad there are so many people out there pushing that boulder up the hill.

Derby County Ladies hit double figures in a stunning 10-0 win at Bradford City Women on Sunday in the FA Women's National League Northern Division to move into the top half of the table.
The Ewe Rams picked up their first win of 2019 in spectacular fashion and boost the confidence of a team that remains in with a realistic chance of finishing in their highest ever league position.
Goals from Nikki Ledgister, Monique Watson x2, Camilla Newton, Moriah McIntosh, Lauren Cresswell, Emily Joyce, Cara Newton and Andi Bell x2 completed the rout in our first league match of the new year and left Boss Sam Griffiths delighted.
Griffiths said "Really pleased with that performance today, we never take any game for granted and prepared properly but to get our goal difference up was much needed and something we were conscious off and that we needed to stretch.
"One of the things that pleases me was that goals came from across the pitch today and it will have given the strikers a boost that they all got in on the act as well today so all delighted all round with the performance.
"We've got a massive few games for us now starting with Middlesbrough in a couple of weeks and they like us have been a bit up and down this season, so it's crucially important that we work hard to prepare and get ourselves on a little run of wins.
The Ewes made enforced changes with niggling injuries creeping through the camp as Cresswell made her return after signing with the club earlier in the month and Leah Kellogg returning in goal.
The Ewes piled on the early pressure on an inexperienced Bradford side that have been decimated this season with departures but it took until the 15th minute for the opening goal as Ledgister was on hand to tap home inside the 6-yard box for a 1-0 lead.
Moments later, the Ewes doubled their lead when a deflected Watson shot wrong-footed the Bantams goalkeeper before a needless trip in the box on Camilla Newton earned Derby a penalty, with the left-back converting from the spot for 3-0.
Despite pressing on the Bantams defence for the remainder of the half, the home side held out to the break as the Ewe Rams went into half-time with a 3-0 lead.
Two goals inside the first 6 minutes of the half took the game beyond the hosts as McIntosh latched onto a pin point ball over the top from skipper Hannah Ward to fire home a fourth before Cresswell made a goalscoring return with a trademark 25-yard stunner.
Ewes star Joyce got in on the act in the 63rd minute as Cresswell's cutback saw the midfielder hit a first time shot from the edge of the area that gave the Bantams goalkeeper no chance for a 6-0 lead.
Having worked her socks off and been thwarted on a number of occasions by the Bantams goalkeeper, Cara Newton got in on the act with a curling 20-yard effort.
With the hosts tiring, the Ewes pressure never relented as substitute Bell provided a lovely ball inside the box to Watson who stroked home her second of the game in the 87th minute.
Their was still time for two more goals and they came from Bell who first got on the end of a Amy Sims cross with a diving header, before she latched onto a mistake by the goalkeeper to tap home the Ewes 10th goal of the game.
That win moved the Ewes into the top half of the table, sitting just 4 points off second place and pushing their goal difference back into the positive.
The Ewes are next scheduled to play Middlesbrough Women on Sunday February the 3rd at Mickleover Sports FC in a 2pm Kick-Off.


Canna 'Cherry Red' is a compact cultivar with intensely red flowers. The staminodes are not as narrow as some Crozy Group cultivars and are bright red and the labellum is smaller, more narrow and generally recurved and is the same intense cherry red. Both the staminodes and the labellum can have a fine yellow colouration near the throat. The foliage is green. A small to medium-sized cultivar it is typical of the shorter-height hybrids introduced by the German firm, Wilhem Pfitzer. Despite its rather pedestrian name Canna 'Cherry Red' is a desirable cultivar with a good pedigree and its strong red colour gives it a powerful impact. It is ideal for the grower requiring a smaller height plant with a strikingly-coloured flower.

In Search for the World War Two history in the Pacific :
Changi POW Chapel & Labrador Park Battery
This is the story about visits to two historical sites in Singapore following the World War Two Trail. The trail takes us to visit a replication of one of the historical chapels build by POWs to a visit of the impressive gun position at Labrador Park, overlooking the coast of Singapore.
Changi POW Chapel and museum
The parking lot is empty except for one car, which is parked in a remote corner. I park my car, get out and move towards the entrance to ChangiPrisonMuseum. It is scorching hot and the only thing you can hear is the birds merrily singing, cicadas and the noise from the nearby ChangiInternationalAirport.
Through the entrance at the museum, you can see the famous chapel, which is a replica of the chapel, that British and Australian POWs built during their Japanese captivity. Since there was not much distraction in the prison, any religious ceremony was a welcome employment in the small and primitive chapels in the prison and a natural hubs for prisoners.
I walk into the small enclosed courtyard where the small chapel is located. There are placed rows of small primitive wooden benches in front of the altar under the open sky. From time to time, memorial services are held for the many young soldiers who were killed either in the fierce fighting in the region or from different diseases, which flourished in the tropical climate. Although the number is decreasing every year, veterans and their families are often participating in these commemorations. The chapel and altar is built of coarse untreated boards and available materials.
In the middle stands a cross, which was drawn up by one of the prisoners and is made of materials from one of their discarded vehicles.On both sides are greetings and badges from the various associations and army units. Next to the cross are lots of Origami paper cranes made by Japanese school children over the years and symbolize the desire for peace and understanding and does represent an evidence that there actually is an awareness of the atrocities imposed by Japanese soldiers among certain groups of people in Japan.
After the short visit to the chapel I now move into the associated museum, which is shaped like a horseshoe around the chapel. The museum shows many good and informative displays about the Allied surrender of Singapore, occupation, and of course how life was lived in the Changi prison. Many inmates were transferred to various projects in the region, including the infamous "death railway", which among other things include the bridge over the River Kwai. Not many survived these projects and this was of course not only the hard work, malnutrition and regular executions, but also because of the many different jungle diseases. .The museum displays many artifacts and stories that are described in many other books, documentaries and museums, however it is certainly worth visiting. I leave the museum and chapel full of thoughts and am especially grateful that I was not among the many adults and children who happened to be in the region during the time when World War II really took hold in this region. In addition to the fine displays the museum also has a very good selection of literature, which are sold at acceptable prices.
A visit to Labrador Park Batteries
"It is LabradorPark you must visit" ... I have just discussed the impact of WW2 with one of my senior colleagues who parents where both Chinese. He had mentioned Labrador Park as the place to visit to see some of the on-site remains from the war and was not the only one to recommend that as the place to go.So now I had decided to visit Labrador Park as the last point of visit on my "WW2 Singapore Trail".
It is a sunny and warm Saturday morning. I am on the way to Labrador Park in the light morning traffic. I pass the mighty Marina Bay sands of shopping centers and beautiful hotels on the left side and on the right side the impressive towers of the Singapore Finance Center. To a large extent a beautiful image of a young nation, which in many ways has performed impressively well thanks to a hard-working post-war generation. After passing yet another impressive shopping center, Vivo City, which is located immediately adjacent to the Sentosa Island which besides Universal Studios, beaches, golf courses, hotels, aquariums and other sort of entertainment also has Fort Siloso, which today is a museum. It was deemed to be a major guarding measure of Singapore's port. Stories and myths tell that a secret tunnel was dug between Fort Siloso and the Labrador batteries on the other side of the little strait. There are plenty of good stories here in Singapore about the WW2 though not always true they are a part of the folklore. However, it is certain that there is a network of tunnels on either side and most of them are sealed for security reasons.
I have now turned off and am heading up a little road towards Labrador Park, which is a dense and overgrown, but still well maintained park near the city center. I now see one of the old classic houses in front of me, which is converted into an exclusive Thai restaurant and I spin down and park directly in front of the impressive driveway. I am now walking past the great gate to the restaurant opposite another restaurant, which should be known for its delicious brunch. This restaurant has a small terrace designed in front of the first major military installation, which will allow you to make an "attack a delicious brunch" in an appropriate setting.
After a few minutes, I reach the real beginning of the series of gun emplacements, which Labrador Park consists of a list and map of the complex has been put up so you can see the complex scope. I'm impressed. You can choose various small paths that lead through the jungle vegetation, which connects the various bunkers and gun and observation posts. I choose one of the paths that will take me past all positions and can see that it is a tough battle to keep these areas free of the heavy vegetation. The strong roots slowly raises the tiles covering up and you have to tread carefully so as not to fall into the dense forest. I now reach the first position, which is well maintained and gives a good idea of the decor. This is exactly what I've been searching for and I am both pleased, impressed and especially happy because I finally found a well-kept WW2 facilities on site in Singapore, which is presented in an appropriate manner. This first position is well maintained, but without guns and with all accesses to the associated tunnels and storage rooms locked or sealed. Oddly enough a large tree grows up through the foundation of the cannon, almost to show posterity that this is not going to be a gun position again. After having taken a few photos I am venturing myself to the next position. On the way I pass an observation post, though they do not allow much overlooking the fairway in front of Labrador Park. In general, the forest has grown up and covers the entire field of vision in front of all positions. But with a little imagination you can well imagine how one could see and observe an enemy who wanted to penetrate from the sea side.
I have now reached the next gun position which are largely designed in the same way, except that here a historic cannon has been installed with a full crew made of black cast iron. Beneath it there has also been placed a stack of shells in the caliper, which was used. Beside each installation are information boards on both the position, but also with stories of relevance to both this and other historical installations in Singapore. Pretty interesting and instructive. I have now taken some more photos and inspected the other positions and easily pick up the historic atmosphere.
At each location there are various tunnel entrances and at one of them, they have chosen to simply set up a door of bars, so you can get a feel for the interior. I have now migrated from one gun position to the next and reached the initial entrance from the sea side. This appears as the original defensive position, namely in red bricks. This was later changed to heavy concrete.
I have now walked down to the water's edge where there is a clear view of Sentosa and Fort Siloso on my left side on the other side of the narrow strait. On my right side, hidden behind dense vegetation, is the part of the old observation towers and defense positions that due to security reasons, are not open to the public. With a little effort and by moving into the thicket, one can however easily find old overgrown stairs and tunnels leading into the large complex. Some tunnels are simply filled up with earth and rubble others with sealed doors. The various installations can be seen up the steep slopes. Close to a potential point of invasion, below the closed part of the whole complex, is today a machine gun bunker, which would cover the coast against an invader trying to reach the shore.
It is now late morning and this coastline seems to attract local fishermen who stand side by side with their fishing rods, so not only is this a lovely peaceful place, but can also help a little on the food budget in the form of local fresh fish. On the various displays is, as mentioned, various short stories. Among other things, the story of how they found exhibited cannon buried close to another installation.
The Discovery of a 6-inch gun barrel
In March 2001, an old six-inch gun barrel was found one meter below the ground at the site of the former Beach Road Camp. It was meant to be part of a 6-inch Quick Firing (QF) gun as it had similar features. It was probably part of the pre-war arsenal used by the Singapore Volunteer Artillery (SVA), that was part of the Singapore Volunteer Corps (SVC). The SVC was housed at the Beach Road Camp and a 6-inch QF gun was used for training from 1912.
Such guns were first put into service on 13 September 1894 and were used for coastal defense duties. With a maximum range of 10,900 yards (9967 meters), a maximum elevation of 20 degrees, and traverse of 360 degrees, these guns were formidable anti-ship weapons. Each shell weighed 100 lbs (45kg), and the gun weighed 6.5 tonnes (6,604 kg). The 6-inch QF gun was also illustrated in the two 6-inch rifled Bridge Loading (RBL) guns deployed to Labrador during the war, and the Beach Road Discovery is an apt reminder of the role played by the Labrador Battery under the Battle of Singapore in February 1942. The Labrador Battery, under Faber Four Command, was manned by the 7th Coast Artillery Regiment. The guns were used in conjunction with those of Fort Siloso, against enemy targets at sea. On 12 February 1942 it fired on and sank a Japanese ammunition ship that was traveling west near St. John's Island. They also fired on and sank both empty lighters and some full of ammunition, that had come loose from its moorings
in Keppel Harbour nearby. This was in order to avoid them falling in to enemy hands. The traverse of the guns was hampered by protective walls behind the Emplacements, but they were Capable of being traversed up to 270 degrees and were used to assist the land forces. They only had a limited number of high explosive shells, but used them to some effect on destroying oil tanks on Pulau Bukom and notably to assist the 1st Malaya Brigade in its epic two-day battle against the Japanese 18th Division on Pasir Panjang Ridge. This action, that ended in hand-to-hand fighting, checked the Japanese in its intention to march down Pasir Panjang Road towards Keppel Harbour.
One of the displays at the site also helps to remove some of the more persistent myths about Singapore during WW2 that can be read in the following.
Singapore - An Impregnable Fortress- this idea hatred er perpetuated for so long by British propaganda and the world press that when Singapore was captured by the Japanese in barely a week, there was great shock and bewilderment. The need-to-explain Britain's worst military disaster context to many myths about the defense of Singapore, especially surrounding the guns. Many Singaporeans grew up believing in these myths - they have become part of the folklore in explaining the British loss of our country. A closer scrutiny of the British defense plans and strategies, help getting the facts right.
MYTH 1: The British did not expect an attack from the north
The presence of big guns in mainly the southern and eastern parts of the island naturally led many to believe that the British expected the Japanese to attack from the sea. This was initially true, for the fixed defences were planned in the 1920s where it was assumed that a modern army could not cross the thick jungles of the eastern coast of Malaya to attack Singapore. Roads to Singapore had not been developed in these areas yet.
However, economic development in the 1930s led to the building of roads and railway lines that linked the east coast to Singapore. By then the British were aware of an overland threat from the Japanese. They carried out military exercises in 1937 and 1939 to prove it. In fact, in 1940, a plan code-named "Operation Matador" was drawn up for pre-emptive strike against Japanese landings in southern Thailand an northern Malaya. Unfortunately, the British failed to execute it when the Japanese attacked in 1941.
MYTH 2: The guns pointed the wrong way and could not be turned landwards
After the defeat it was rumored that the guns of Singapore could not be turned to fire northwards. Although the guns were situated at coastal fortifications to repulse attack from the sea, they could and did turn landwards. As early as 1924-25 the War Office had suggested that the guns should have an all-round traverse. This would allow them to fire northwards at sites in Johore, where the enemy may land or operate from. When the guns were installed (except for the two 15-inch guns at Buona Vista battery, which had insufficient cables) all guns had mountings that allowed them a 360 degree traverse.
MYTH 3: The guns did not contribute to the defence of Singapore
While it is true that they did not play an effective role in the Battle for Singapore, it would be inaccurate to say that the guns remained silent. Japanese troops were attacked by a number of the coastal batteries throughout the battle. For example, the batteries at Labrador and Siloso fired at the Japanese along Pasir Panjang Road, giving much needed support to the Malay Regiment defending the area.
Tengah Air Base was taken by the Japanese early in the battle and it became Yamashita's HQ. Connaught and Johore Batteries fired several rounds to create massive holes in the runway in an attempt to make the airbase useless. In fact the Connaught guns rifling was worn smooth by the incessant bombardment.
For counter battery purposes, observers were placed on top of tall buildings such as the CathayBuilding or on hill tops. They were to locate enemy artillery positions by spotting the flashes of their guns. This information was then relayed to FortCanning, which would assign the nearest battery to turn and fire their guns at the enemy. The greatest contribution the guns made for the men in the field, was to boost the morale. The Indian, Australian and Malay troops defending the western area testified that they received encouragement from hearing the continuous firing of the Connaught Battery. To them the shells passing over their heads on their way to the enemy sounded like express trains. The thought of these rounds crushing into enemy positions must have given satisfaction and hope to the beleaguered troops.
