'We would've liked our day in court'
A FORMER director of a major engineering firm is understood to have been dealt with by law chiefs after being reported over the issuing of a cheque.

David Lee, 49, of Fisher Gardens, Paisley, was reported to the procurator fiscal over a company cheque he allegedly wrote shortly before resigning as director of Steel Engineering Services Ltd in Renfrew.
Company bosses say they reported Lee to the police and the fiscal was subsequently informed.
Now, Lee has been dealt with by the fiscal by means of a "direct measure" recently introduced into the criminal justice system in Scotland as a way of reducing the number of court cases.
An accused person must agree to accept this form of disposal.
Law chiefs will not reveal the nature of the measure taken against Lee because all such matters are confidential to the accused because the matter is not dealt with in open court.
However, action could either have been a warning letter, a 'fiscal fine', a fiscal compensation offer, or a 'combined offer', which comprises a fine and a compensation offer.
In all such cases the accused person does not end up with a criminal record, although a record of the disposal is kept by the procurator fiscal.
The Paisley Daily Express visited Mr Lee at his home in order to give him every opportunity to comment on the matter.
He denied any involvement in wrongdoing, or having any contact with the procurator fiscal over the matter.
David Maxwell, managing director of Steel Engineering. said: "We are disappointed the procurator fiscal didn't see fit to bring this matter to court.
"We would have liked our day in court."
Steel Engineering Ltd, parent company of Steel Engineering Services Ltd, is a multi-million pound company that originated in Paisley in 1922.
Now located at the former Babcock site, in Renfrew, it carries out large-scale work for the oil and gas industries.
A spokesman for the Crown Office in Edinburgh, said: "We can confirm the procurator fiscal in Paisley received a report in relation to a 49-year-old man.
"After a full and careful consideration of all facts and circumstances the case was dealt with by way of a direct measure and is now closed."

The Tuning Fork,
Often referred to as the discovery act from Bluesfest 2019, there was no doubt in our minds but to bring The War and Treaty to New Zealand in 2020 to share their incredible talent with Americana, gospel and soul fans. It is hard to believe that this powerhouse duo has only just come into focus. While their back story is romantic and emotional, they have been paying music dues for a long time.
Having both been gifted with incredible voices, the couple also have a natural talent for storytelling through song. Michael Trotter's back story tells of a shy, poverty-stricken childhood, eventual enlistment in the US Army and being shipped off to serve in the Iraq war in 2003. Trotter was not meant for fighting but had a gift for making music, which he nurtured with an abandoned piano while the American soldiers encamped in a Saddam Hussein palace. After the war, Michael pursued a career in music, which led him to meet Tanya, at a festival in 2010. They fell in love, made music, had a child and began their passionate journey together as The War and Treaty.
Having come from a musical theatre background and landing a role in 'Sister Act 2' singing a duet with Lauryn Hill in her early career, it is clear from their performance that Tanya is no stranger to the stage. The War and Treaty deliver live shows and records that make the hairs on the back of necks stand up. Their music and stories bring tears, goosebumps, beaming faces, united voices and rejoice!
Watch the powerful soul voices of married couple Michael Trotter and Tanya Trotter-Blount at Spark Arena's companion venue, the Tuning Fork.

What we tested: Three varieties -- penne, elbow macaroni, and spaghetti -- all cooked al dente.
Servings per container: While the nutritional panels stated the boxes contained "about 7 servings," we found that they contained closer to 6 servings. What does this mean? Simply dividing the box into portions according to the approximate "servings per container" won't necessarily give you the correct serving size.
Cooked measurements: We got down to it and found that a single 2-oz. serving of the dry penne cooked up to a heaping cup. Both the cooked spaghetti and the elbow mac measured in at a scant cup per serving.
Dry measurements: Wanna cook up a single serving of pasta but don't feel like busting out the food scale? A 2-oz. serving of uncooked elbow macaroni comes to just shy of 1/2 cup. The same amount of dry penne measures in at a little more than 1/2 cup. Good to know! There's no easy cup measurement for uncooked spaghetti, but there are some cool measuring tools out there!
Bottom line: Pasta generally doubles in size when it cooks, and a cup of cooked pasta is a good ballpark for a single serving size!

A variety of different flowers grow all around your village, though running through them can destroy them. Watering a withered flower, which looks grayish-brown, will bring it back to life the next day. You can tell when you've watered a flower because it will drip with water and sparkle afterward.
Flowers can also be purchased from a sloth named Leif once you unlock the Gardening Center. After opening the garden shop, you will be able to buy two flower seeds, one sapling and one tool (axe or watering can) per day. Flower seeds each cost 80 Bells, saplings cost 60 Bells, axes cost 400 Bells, and watering cans cost 500 Bells.
On the Tropical Island you can get pocketfulls of free flowers by playing certain minigames. You can take the flowers home with you without any hindrance!
You can later upgrade the Gardening Shop to expand it. First, you have to upgrade Nooklings 3 times and spend over 200,000 Bells at both Nooklings and the Gardening Shop combined. You must wait 7 days after opening the Gardening Shop to upgrade it.
There are many different kinds of flowers, and acquiring all of them requires some time and patience. You can breed new flowers by placing differently colored flowers of the same type next to each other. Getting some of the rarer flowers can be a little tricky as they appear randomly in your village over time. Getting Gold Flowers requires you to have 1 Black, Wilted Flower and 1 Gold Watering Can. Read up on Tools to find out how to get the Gold Watering Can.
Growing flowers can be time consuming, as the type of flower grown is random. You can mix flowers in different colors and get a new random flower, or you can match two flowers of the same color next to each other to get a new color; for example, two red roses side by side may produce a black rose. Some flowers require fertilizer, which can be bought from the upgraded Gardening Shop, in order to breed.
You will earn Badges if you plant a number of saplings and flowers.
100 total of seeds and saplings grown.
250 total of seeds and saplings grown.
500 total of seeds and saplings grown.
Flowers of the same species planted next to each other will occasionally spawn rare hybrids. Pairs of flowers can be situated horizontally, vertically or diagonally to spawn a hybrid, but there must be an open space to spawn the hybrid near the pair.
All hybrids have the same attributes as their parents, so two Pink Cosmos can create a Red or White Cosmos.
You can purchase fertilizer at the Garden Shop to plant with a Shovel near flowers to create more rare hybrids. Rare hybrids will also appear more frequently after rainy days and after watering.
Carnations can only originally be obtained via correspondence -- often a letter from "Mom" or "Dad." After obtaining Carnations, they will breed the common Pink or Red Carnation color or the rare White.
Cosmos are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Red, and Yellow.
Dandelions randomly grow in your town. They spend a few days in their yellow form, then turn into puffs and eventually disappear.
You can only obtain Jacob's Ladders by having a Perfect Town Rating. There is only one color: White. Jacob's Ladders appear randomly by cliff edges in your town on days you have a Perfect Town.
Lilies are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Red and Yellow.
Pansies are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Red, and Yellow.
Only "special" Red Pansies hybrids from Blue Pansies or Orange Pansies will create Purple Pansies.
Roses are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Red, and Yellow.
Gold Roses You can only get Gold Roses by watering dried Black Roses with a Golden Watering Can. Gold Roses will never dry out (but they can be destroyed by running over them).
Only "special" Red Roses hybrids from Purple Roses and Orange Roses will create Blue Roses.
Tulips are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Red, and Yellow.
Violets are a common flower. They spawn randomly and also are sold in three original colors; White, Purple, and Yellow.


"What's In It For Me?": the essential question your prospect will ask, directly or indirectly. It's essential that, at selling, the potential customer's WIIFM is considered into argumentation.
WIIFM is an acronym that salespeople often use to remind themselves that prospects are always looking for benefits, not features.

Much virtual ink has been spilled in the past two weeks over the increasingly bitter "tone" to the debate between the two candidates for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and more especially between their advocates, emissaries and supporters. Here on Public Seminar, Jeffrey Goldfarb has weighed in on this phenomenon and its infelicities from both a pragmatic and principled perspective. I have no quarrel with Jeff's helpful intervention in this discussion, but I do want to shed light on another element of the conversation the past week and a half, which is a true "teaching moment" if ever there was one.
I am thinking of Senator Sanders's already (in)famous statement—in response to some real baiting and gotcha-style journalism that the mainstream media has been full of in every direction and on every occasion—that "perhaps" Secretary Clinton is "not qualified" to be President of the United States. This "hot topic" arose again, inevitably, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard debate just last night, which I am going to quote from this transcript [with ellipses and other editorial elements eliminated] in what follows. The first "real" question of the debate was to Senator Sanders and was phrased thus: "Senator Sanders, in the last week, you've raised questions about Secretary Clinton's qualifications to be president. You said that something is clearly lacking in terms of her judgment and you accused her of having a credibility gap. So let me ask you, do you believe that Secretary Clinton has the judgment to be president?" What is interesting to me is the way in which the question shifts from "qualification" to "judgment." I find this phrasing very felicitous, and believe this was Wolf Blitzer's best contribution to political discourse in a long time. What I believe he has noticed (or maybe he did this without noticing) is that "qualification" can refer to credentials in terms of practical competence or in terms of moral competence. By ending on "judgment"—which was crucial to Sanders's reply, as we will see in a second—Blitzer has actually clarified the issue at hand in a striking way, as we will see by following the candidates responses.
Blitzer then asks Clinton to reply, and after a predictable and perhaps necessary defense of her competence in the first sense—which Sanders had just conceded he never meant to call into question—interestingly chose not to defend her moral competence but rather to move into an attack on Sanders's practical competence. She says: "But if you go and read, which I hope all of you will before Tuesday, Senator Sanders' long interview with the New York Daily News talk about judgment and talk about the kinds of problems he had answering questions about even his core issue, breaking up the banks.
So, to summarize. What we have seen in this moment of the Navy Yard Debate is two related things. First, we have a crystallization of the central dynamic of the Democratic Presidential primary: Sanders has called into question Clinton's moral competence; Clinton has called into question Sanders's practical competence. Voters, in essence, are asked to choose: do you go with Clinton, and get a candidate with incontestable practical competence in exchange for questionable moral competence?
But there is something still more interesting here. Namely, we have been given an unusually thoughtful and viscerally present crystallization of one of the central questions of moral and political philosophy: what, exactly, constitutes "good judgment?" Sanders has indicated that, for him, "good judgment" means something like "always acting on the basis of your most cherished beliefs, be the politics whatever they are" while for Clinton "good judgment" means something like "always acting on the basis of a vision of what is achievable in the here and now and does the most good and/or the least harm." I want to stress that these are both very sound judgments about the nature of good judgment, but also that they clearly conflict. You can't believe both of these at the same time, at least not all the time; sometimes, maybe or rather often or even almost always, there will be a conflict in public life between acting on one's beliefs in full and acting in accordance with practical considerations. The candidates have clearly made their decisions about this, but how might we, ourselves, come to judgment about how to define good judgment in public life?
This way of posing the dilemma makes it pretty clear which side Weber was on, but agree with him or not, it is incumbent on anyone who cares about politics to come to terms with the dilemma and with Weber's way of putting it. So, please, go read the speech right now if you never have, and remember its context! If you do, you will see that Weber shows us that the politician must always try and always fail to balance practical competence (he calls this "the Ethic of Responsibility") with moral competence (he calls this "the Ethic of Moral Conviction"). Without the slightest touch of cynicism, and in fact speaking to a group a students who are trying to build a just and representative democracy out of the ruins of the Great War, Weber's lesson is that it is in fact not possible to balance to moral and practical considerations. Rather one must always err to one side or the other.
Not only in their answers at the key moment in the debate last night, but also throughout this campaign and really throughout their whole lives, the two Democratic candidates have made their positions clear. Clinton favors practical competence, urging voters to choose her on the basis of a shared rational preference for that kind of competence and the kind of judgments it gives rise to: compromises on positions that inevitably shift over time (as your people's vision changes over time), a life at the very center of governing coalitions, a series of successful contributions to incremental changes. Sanders favors moral competence, urging voters to choose him on the basis of a shared rational preference for that kind of competence and the kind of judgments it gives rise to: uncompromising convictions on positions that remain the same for forty years (as your people's vision slowly comes to coincide with yours on many points) a life near but always on the periphery of political power, a series of contributions (not always successful) to potential transformational changes.
Now, as Jeff also tried to stress, each of these lives (and these ways of living) is eminently respectable and I hope that we can all step back from the "heat" of the race to acknowledge that. But I want to emphasize something else: there are "pros" and "cons" to each of these stances, but if we learn anything from Weber, it is that one cannot do a "cost-benefit analysis" and then decide. No. First one makes a decision: are my politics fundamentally practical, or are my politics fundamentally moral? Then, having decided, you make your other calculations as best you can, and you lead others in the way most suited to your personality and your skills. Thus, for Weber, a life in politics is not grounded in reason—the decision to be moral or to be practical cannot itself have a rational ground—but it is enacted in and through reason, because our leaders can and must express their decisions rationally and then we must make our choose to follow them rationally.
With this in mind, and like Hamilton, Madison and Jay (authors of the Federalist, which I just had the joy of teaching for about a month earlier this semester), I close with an appeal to the reason of the People of New York; a faculty which I hold in the highest honor and to which I aim to submit every consideration as a thought experiment. My question to the voters of my hometown and my home state (well those who have been registered "Democratic" long enough thanks to New York's especially unforgiving closed primary system) is Weber's question. You have before you two professional politicians in the best sense of the word. These are not "career politicians" in the derisive sense of 1990s apathy and anti-politics, but rather two individuals called (angerufen) to a life in the service of the American people as their Beruf (profession/vocation). Each of these candidates has clearly indicated where they stand on the impossible, yet necessary decision that faces someone who will make a life in politics: knowing that both moral and practical competence are required to lead yet impossible to enact to the same degree in each and every action, are you going to err on the side of practical competence or on the side of moral competence? Clinton and Sanders have made their decisions. The time has come to make yours.

Doug Jones Introduces Bipartisan bill establishing Disaster Health Care Service

Justice Department says Equal Rights Amendment deadline has passed, fight continues
U.S. Sen. Doug Jones speaks on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Doug Jones released a statement Saturday supportive of President Donald Trump's decision to launch airstrikes in Syria.
Jones released the comments after news that the United States, France, and the United Kingdom undertook targeted airstrikes to weaken Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons capabilities.
"Bashar al-Assad's repeated use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians – so many of them children – was an atrocity and must be stopped," Jones said. "I fully support the President's actions last night to strategically target Assad's capacity to use chemical weapons, and to do so with the assistance of our allies. It is my hope, as General Mattis stated last night, that Assad gets the message this time and that further action, which should be done with Congressional approval, will not be necessary."

"Finally, I am grateful for the capable service of the Alabama airmen who supported this mission in Syria last night," Jones added. "To them and their families, I share my continued appreciation for their sacrifices on behalf of all of us."
Jones's support for the attack mirrors that of many in Congress, including Senator John McCain, R-Arizona, who also released a statement supporting the president.
"I applaud the President for taking military action against the Assad regime for its latest use of chemical weapons, and for signaling his resolve to do so again if these heinous attacks continue," McCain wrote. "I am grateful to our British and French allies for joining us in this action."
"I hope these strikes impose meaningful costs on Assad," McCain added. " The message to Assad must be that the cost of using chemical weapons is worse than any perceived benefit, that the United States and our allies have the will and capability to continue imposing those costs, and that Iran and Russia will ultimately be unsuccessful in protecting Assad from our punitive response. To succeed in the long run, we need a comprehensive strategy for Syria and the entire region. The President needs to lay out our goals, not just with regard to ISIS, but also the ongoing conflict in Syria and malign Russian and Iranian influence in the region. Airstrikes disconnected from a broader strategy may be necessary, but they alone will not achieve U.S. objectives in the Middle East."
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday called for air strikes on Syrian airfields.
"I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them," Clinton said.
Clinton said that she had supported a no-fly zone in Syria, but President Barack Obama had opposed that.
The Syrian strikes came just days after a sarin gas attack on a Damascus suburb that killed an estimated 72 people. The attack has been attributed to Bashar Al-Assad's Syrian government forces.
Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired at three military targets in Syria. The 59 missiles were fired from both U.S. Navy ships and from U.S. Air Force B1 bombers flying out of Qatar.

Warka Irititja Munu Kuwari Kutu/Work from the Past and the Present
Stephanie Radok
The Big Pond: Australian Artists Overseas
Issue 18:4 | December 1998
A celebration of fifty years of Ernabella Arts Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, Adelaide August - September 1998
The 50 year anniversary of Ernabella Arts and Crafts was celebrated this year with an important historical exhibition at Tandanya and the production of a substantial catalogue including interviews with Aboriginal women, and essays by art advisers, past and present, as well as anthropologists and curators. It is a time of reflection and assessment as the Ernabella art centre is at present being remodelled and renovated and the way it is organized is being reviewed.
Each of the more than forty Central Australian art centres are different and have evolved differently but Ernabella Arts was the first one. To see rather than merely read about the rugs and shawls made by the women of Ernabella from wool they spun themselves or to look at some of the photographs of the smiling slim girls, such as Nyukana Baker, sitting or standing in the Musgrave Ranges next to their rugs is very poignant and makes you certain that, in spite of all the documentation, there are many unspoken layers to this story.
Some of those stories could perhaps be found in the Ara Irititja Archival Project of the Pitjantjatjara Council, which is an ongoing computerized resource of the visual documentation of the area. At the opening of Warka Irititja Munu Kuwari Kutu the archivist John Dallwitz was present to demonstrate the way databases have been used to make this material available to the people whose history it contains.
Work on show in the exhibition ranges from crayon drawings to greeting cards, from rugs and stoles to punu (woodcarving), prints, ceramics and, above all, batiks. The crayon drawings by children are usually considered to be the origins of the walka, a loose paisley-like form that is the distinguishing feature or recurring pattern of the artwork of the Ernabella women. "Walka refers to all meaningful and deliberate mark making including writing." (catalogue p39) The story goes that in 1940 a schoolteacher said: Kurakura walkatjura which means: "draw badly" or "anything goes" (isn't that the name of a book by Paul Taylor?) and the patterns that the children made were used as designs for the first rugs and weavings. The rest is history. Chris Nobbs, Education Officer at the South Australian Museum, claims in his essay for the recent Tjungu Warkarintja/Working Together exhibition at the Jam Factory Gallery of ceramic plates decorated by Ernabella women, that the earliest reference to such designs is in 1903 when Herbert Basedow recorded some "elaborate drawings" on the walls of a rock shelter.
In the 1940s when Ernabella was a sheep station and mission it was Mary Bennett's idea to use wool for making handcrafts. Aboriginal women were already spinning human hair on cross stick spindles. The reasons for making something with the wool were not to make warm blankets for themselves. The priority was to productively employ Aboriginal women who were staying in one place as they could not do what they had been doing as nomadic people, ie food-foraging. Thus the historical situation in which the women were placed was an important factor in the development of the art and craft movement at Ernabella, the desire or need to earn income, the lack of employment opportunities, the presence of sheep and determined missionaries. The first interview in the catalogue is with Nura Rupert. We do not know how old she is but she remembers the past when she and the others were weaving and making teacosies, kangaroo sole shoes, knee rugs and scarves. Rupert is quite nostalgic and many times she says: " I would like to teach the children."
The art and craft centre is very much a women's centre and the art and craft produced there explicitly display the strength and energy of Ernabella women. Today the art and craft centre is more than a work place it is "a clubhouse, refuge, meeting place, social place and children's area". (catalogue, p57)
An ongoing issue in the marketing of Ernabella designs is that to many people the works do not look 'Aboriginal', they do not tell stories, they do not place identifiable culture on to canvas or silk. Instead the works are essentially decorative and speak strongly of the exuberance and energy, vitality and pleasure in making of their creators. As Frida Kahlo used to say: Vive la vida! The artwork of Emily Kngwarreye also has this looseness and energetic jouissance. When seen in paintings rather than batiks such expression tends to be seen as having moved into a different register, a different tradition, though of course it was with batik that Emily started her career as an artist in the non-Aboriginal world.
Craftwork supervisor Winifred Hilliard wrote about her more than twenty years of experience at Ernabella in a book called The People in Between: The Pitjantjatjara people of Ernabella which was first published in 1968. Hilliard has also written an essay for this exhibition in which she describes the introduction of batik, a traditional Indonesian craft, in 1971. A historic example of an exercise showing batik techniques when Ernabella artists travelled to Yogyakarta in 1975 is a fascinating part of the Ernabella Arts Archive.
James Bennett, Curator of South East Asian Art and Material Culture at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory writes in the catalogue about the relationship between Indonesian and Ernabella batik, and questions if the relationship is one of inspiration or derivation. He concludes that there is an immense gulf between the two approaches but states: "More than any stylistic influences, it was a sense of common purpose rooted in non-European aesthetic values that formed a shared ground with Javanese batik makers. As Australia furthers cultural exchange with regional indigenous artists it is these values, associated with humbleness towards the work in hand and a commitment to ancestral traditions, that perhaps are most relevant for consideration today." (catalogue, p36)
Hilliard's own exuberance comes out in the end of her essay where she writes: "Already we have been enriched. Who knows what riches are still to come!" (catalogue p28)

Dana Perino: Ten years after Tony Snow died much too young, I remember the important things he taught me
By Dana Perino, | Fox News

Every July, I get an uneasy feeling — like something is missing — but I can't quite put my finger on it. And then, around July 12th, it hits me. This is the season when Tony Snow died, and this year marks the tenth anniversary of his passing.
Tony was known to many for lots of reasons -- he was a prolific writer and editorialist, a friendly and sharp talk radio host, an anchor of "Fox News Sunday" and a press secretary to President George W. Bush. He was also a dear friend of mine.
In 2006, Tony inherited me as his principal deputy press secretary. I was honored when he put his trust in me to manage the office and hire additional staff. He let me attend the senior staff meetings and brief the president before press conferences, because I had a knack for knowing what reporters would ask. By allowing me to step into the spotlight, he pushed me out of my comfort zone, and that's how I gained the president's trust. We had a terrific team that worked hard and laughed a lot.

Bush (C) reacts as White House Press Secretary Tony Snow speaks while newly announced White House Press Secretary Dana Perino (L) listens in the press briefing room of the White House.

When Tony came to the White House, he was in the midst of chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer. One of our assistant press secretaries, Emily Lawrimore Schillinger, had survived cancer as a teen. She couldn't believe how he managed to show up for work during that process, let alone as the White House press secretary. Throughout his treatment, they would talk about cancer and the toll it takes on the human body.
She and I touched based this week and she remembered that Tony never complained, which was remarkable, really.
The only way you knew he was fighting cancer was during our early staff meetings at 7 a.m. when he would eat a huge stack of pancakes with bacon and sausage stuffed in between and tons of butter and syrup on top, washed down with an extra-large vanilla latte -- he needed the calories to keep up his weight. And sometimes, after a press briefing, I'd see him lean his head back on his chair in his office. I'd reach in and gently close the door. "Let's give him a minute," I'd say, because he always had time for us.
When Tony was in the hospital for several weeks before he died, his wife, Jill, sent me a note saying that Tony watched the press briefing every day. She said he would get so mad on my behalf that one day he sent his tray right off the table in solidarity with my frustration.

Paulson as his nominee to replace Secretary of Treasury John Snow at the White House in Washington May 30, 2006. REUTERS/Larry Downing - GM1DSSKGDZAA (REUTERS)
The morning Tony died, I got a call from Ed Henry, who was with CNN back then. It was Saturday at 6 a.m. and we'd just returned the night before from a grueling trip to Japan for the G7 summit. I saw the number and thought, "Oh no." I didn't give him a comment and told Ed I'd call him right back.
Sure enough, checking my BlackBerry I saw that sometime in the 3 a.m. hour a note had arrived letting us know that Tony had passed away. A devastating loss for his family, especially his wife and their three children (all of whom are doing well today, I'm happy to report), his White House and reporter colleagues, and everyone who knew and loved watching him on Fox News.

REUTERS/Jim Young - GM1DSLXXZSAA (REUTERS)
A decade later, I spent some time reflecting on things I learned from Tony that I try to incorporate into my life today. Here are five:
1. Don't be a boss hog. Tony was not insecure about his position with the president, and so he allowed his team to fill in for him without worry that he would be usurped. That gave me a chance to learn to do the job of the press secretary, and that way I was a better deputy for him. Ensuring your staff has access to the big boss is empowering to everyone, and it's a practice that's served me well.
2. Be a gracious winner. Tony was able to win most every argument he entered into because he came with more facts, smarter wit and a disarming smile. He never danced in the end zone, even when it would have felt good for a moment. He would concede a point and then come back with two more to persuade listeners to his way of thinking. Twitter didn't exist when he was the press secretary. Something tells me he never would have bothered to get on it. Gracious, indeed.
3. You're better at this than you think you are. That's what he told me the day before he departed the White House in 2007. I was nervous about taking over for him - he was 6'5" and I am 5'0". His shoes were enormous to fill. I didn't feel I'd ever be able to do as well as he did at the podium -- and I never did. But he made me stand up and look him in the eyes and with his hands on my shoulders he shook me a little and said, "You're better at this than you think you are." It took me a few weeks to see what he meant. I realized I didn't have to be just like him -- I just needed to be myself. And with every new challenge I try, I keep this mantra in mind. Try it -- it helps.
4. Keep your doctor's appointments. Tony told me that because of his family history, he was supposed to get colonoscopies early and often. But one January, news was breaking and he pushed off his appointment - and then he didn't actually get to the doctor for several months. He regretted that. And he made me promise to always keep my appointments. There are times when it is inconvenient because with the exciting news cycle we're in, there's never a good time to be out of the office. But I keep my promise to him on that and encourage everyone else to do so as well.
5. Live your faith. Tony loved the Lord and he practiced his faith openly. He was a dedicated husband and father. His family always came first. I remember when we helped him buy fifty gifts for Jill for her 50th birthday. It was a wild scramble but we got it done. It was a beautiful gesture, and I've tried to celebrate my husband Peter with the same kind of love (but not as many presents!). Tony regularly forgave others, and treated everyone with kindness, even in the toughest debates. He towered at the White House podium -- and not just because of his height.
Some people, like Tony Snow, come into your life and leave lasting impressions. I'm grateful to have known him and remember him fondly.

NETBALL – Ms. Sharika Booso (Secretary)
The CMCC organized a Netball Carnival on 23rd September 2017, to commemorate the 145th Anniversary of the Club. This was a unique tournament where six games starts simultaneously at a single blow of a whistle and ends the same way. This concept is the first time in the history of Netball introduced in the country. Singapore and Malaysia follow this method in their tournaments, and this was introduced to us by the former National Coach, Mrs. Hycinth Wijesinghe, who is our Tournament Consultant. The final was won by The Army Netball Team and runner-up were the HNB Netball Team in the women's category and Schools that came to the finals was won by Maliyadeva Girls School, Kurunegala and runner-up were Holy Family Convent, Kurunegala. Mrs. Rosy Senanayake was the chief guest and gave away the prizes. This was held in a Carnival atmosphere with lots of food stalls with Malay delicacy, entertainment, etc. and was a grand success. Many thanks goes to the Mrs. Hycinth Wijesinghe, the Youth of the CMCC, Ex-Committee members and other members for their unstinted support and co-operation to make the event a success. We also appreciate all the teams that participated in the tournament giving their best in highlighting the tournament to the maximum. Limited number of Polo Fabric T-shirts were sold at the event to mark the 145th Anniversary of the Club. There was a musical show held after the event our ever loving Ronnie Leitch and Luke Henricus entertained the crowd till late night.

Melbourne's Sydonia are releasing their first taste of album #3 into the world and heading out on an Australian tour to celebrate. The acclaimed 4-piece, who have been praised by media and massive artists alike – Lamb of God's Randy Blythe to Slipknot's Corey Taylor are both fans – are sharing their new song "Eyes of Sand" ahead of hitting the road on one of their biggest Australian tours to date.
The band have been consulting with Shihad's Tom Larkin on the songwriting of the tracks for their Third album, a follow-up to 2014's 'Reality Kicks' and 2012's 'Given to Destroyers'. "Eyes of Sand" has been produced by the band themselves, giving it a rougher, heavier, faster edge – this is the band at it's most frenetic and focused. The track was mixed by Sydonia drummer, Sean Bailey.
(triple j The Racket)'s best of 2014, played solidly on triple j, Triple M, AndrewHaugRadio and more, did amazing numbers on their Australia-Wide tour and received critical praise at all turns. The four-piece, consisting of Dana Roskvist on Guitars and Vocals, Adam Murray on Bass and Vocals, Ant Connelly on Guitars and Sean Bailey on Drums, are now veterans of the Australian Music scene – but are consistently bringing fresh sounds to what defines 'heavy'.
Sydonia have released 2 full-length albums and a handful of EPs, toured Australia as a headliner as well as with Slipknot, Stone Sour, Lamb of God, Korn, Machine Head, Between the Buried and Me, Trivium, In Flames, Snot & Hed PE, Dead Letter Circus, Voyager, Caligula's Horse, Mammal and more, as well as touring the USA as main support to Stone Sour. An army of loyal fans throng to shows and you may even spot a relic of their classic t-shirt design in the crowd – an "I fucked the chick from Sydonia" design from the first album era.
The tour in late July-August takes in Australia's iconic venues such as Melbourne's Corner Hotel, Adelaide's Jive, Brisbane's Crowbar, Sunny Coast's Sol Bar and more.

James Martin (19 October 1933 – 24 June 2013) was a British Information Technology consultant and author. Martin was nominated for a Pulitzer prize for his book, The Wired Society: A Challenge for Tomorrow.
James Martin was born on 19 October 1933 in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England. He earned a degree in physics at Keble College, Oxford.
Martin joined IBM in 1959, and since the 1980s established several IT consultancy firms. Starting in 1981 with Dixon Doll and Tony Carter he established DMW (Doll Martin Worldwide) in London, UK, which was later renamed James Martin Associates (JMA), which was (partly) bought by Texas Instruments Software in 1991. He later co-founded Database Design Inc. (DDI), also in Ann Arbor, to promulgate his database design techniques and to develop tools to help implement them. After becoming the market leader in Information Engineering software, DDI was renamed KnowledgeWare and eventually purchased by Fran Tarkenton, who took it public.
Martin was an expert in the field of systems design, software development methodology, information engineering and computer-aided software engineering. He was one of the first to promote fourth-generation programming languages, and was one of the main developers of the Rapid Application Development methodology.
Information Engineering (IE) is an approach to designing and developing information systems. It has a somewhat chequered history that follows two very distinct threads. It is said to have originated in Australia between 1976 and 1980, and appears first in the literature in 1981 in the Savant Institute publication Information Engineering by James Martin and Clive Finkelstein.
Information Engineering first provided data analysis and database design techniques that could be used by database administrators (DBAs) and by systems analysts to develop database designs and systems based upon an understanding of the operational processing needs of organisations for the 1980s.
The Finkelstein thread evolved after 1980 into the data processing (DP)-driven variant of IE. From 1983 till 1986 IE evolved further into the business-driven variant of IE, which was intended to address a rapidly changing business environment. The then Technical Director, Charles M. Richter, from 1983 to 1987, played a significant role by revamping the IE methodology as well as designing the IE software product (User-Data) which helped automate the IE methodology, opening the way to next generation Information Architecture.
The Martin thread in Information Engineering was strategy-driven from the outset and from 1983 was focused on the possibility of automating the development process through the provision of techniques for business description that could be used to populate a data dictionary or encyclopaedia that could in turn be used as source material for code generation. The Martin methodology provided a foundation for the CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tool industry.
Martin himself had significant stakes in at least four CASE tool vendors—InTech (Excelerator), Higher Order Software, KnowledgeWare, originally Database Design Inc, (Information Engineering Workbench) and James Martin Associates, originally DMW and now Headstrong (the original designers of the Texas Instruments' Information Engineering Facility and the principal developers of the methodology).
At the end of the 1980s and early 1990s the Martin thread incorporated Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and soon after also entered the object oriented field.
Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a term originally used for describing a software development process first developed and successfully deployed during the mid-1970s by D.Dinadasa at New York Telephone Co's Systems Development Center under the direction of Dan Gielan. Following a series of remarkably successful implementations of this process, Gielan lectured extensively in various forums on the methodology, practice, and benefits of this process.
Martin introduced his approach in 1991. Martin's methodology involves iterative development and the construction of prototypes. More recently, the term and its acronym have come to be used in a broader, generic sense that encompasses a variety of techniques aimed at speeding application development, such as the use of web application frameworks and other types of software frameworks.
RAD approaches may entail compromises in functionality and performance in exchange for enabling faster development and facilitating application maintenance.
In 2004 Martin donated £60m to help establish The James Martin 21st Century School, which in 2010 was renamed The Oxford Martin School, at the University of Oxford, in what was the largest single donation to the university. This school aims to "formulate new concepts, policies and technologies that will make the future a better place to be". In 2009 Martin pledged up to an additional $50 million if it could be matched by other donors. This condition was met in April 2010.

Martin was awarded an honorary fellowship by Keble College, Oxford and an honorary Doctor of Science degree by the University of Warwick in July 2009. He gave the Turing Lecture in 2008. According to Computerworld's 25th anniversary issue, he was ranked fourth among the 25 individuals who have most influenced the world of computer science.
Since the 1990s, Martin lived on his own private island, Agar's Island, in Bermuda, where he died on 24 June 2013, apparently in a swimming accident.
