The federal government says it will do whatever it can to protect Torontonians from the "vindictive and destructive" actions taken by the new Ford government.
Adam Vaughan, a Toronto Liberal MP and parliamentary secretary for urban affairs, says Ontario Premier Doug Ford is plunging Toronto into chaos at a time when it needs stability the most.
Ford announced Friday morning that his government will introduce legislation to cut the number of Toronto city councillors from 47 to 25, aligning city wards with federal ridings.
Ford said having fewer city councillors will improve the decision-making process at Toronto's city hall, and save taxpayers $25 million over four years.
It's a surprising move and one that Ford didn't raise while campaigning for premier. A failed mayoral candidate himself, and a single-term city councillor, Ford defended his decision by pointing to an election promise to reduce the size and cost of government.
Vaughan said the proposal is "reckless, irresponsible" and tosses Toronto into a political storm when it needs leadership on critical files such as asylum seekers, gangs and shootings on the city streets, transit and housing.
Vaughan said Ford is taking these actions because "he doesn't like Toronto" and accused him of "breaking" the city.
He insisted the city is too important for the federal government to "stand idly by and let this happen."
"We may not be able to change the electoral map but you can be damn sure we're going to make sure the city of Toronto is protected in terms of its role in providing all kinds of opportunities and a home for millions of Canadians," said Vaughan.
"If we have to work around Queen's Park, we will work around Queen's Park. Because at the end of the day Torontonians are Canadians too, and the Canadian government has a responsibility to protect Canadians, especially when people are taking such vindictive and destructive actions towards them."
The Liberals have shown a penchant for finding ways to work around provinces.
The government's vaunted $40-billion national housing strategy provides some money to provinces and territories, but delivers the bulk of federal funding through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. to provide more direct cash to cities.
The Liberals first announced the funding bypass in the 2017 budget, arguing it was needed to ensure cities could quickly access and spend money on the country's stock of aging affordable housing.
Infrastructure money has also been delivered through programs run by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
In reaction to Ford's decision, the Prime Minister's Office said the government "will continue to be a strong partner with the City of Toronto."
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh accused Ford of abusing his power and interfering in Toronto's municipal elections.
"...you can't say you're for the people and not consult them before slashing their elected representatives. We need to stand up to this undemocratic move," Singh tweeted.

Driver hurt, car catches fire in Saturday…
Driver hurt, car catches fire in Saturday evening DUI near Longmont
By Amber Carlson | acarlson@prairiemountainmedia.com |
A DUI incident southeast of Longmont left at least one person injured Saturday evening.
Master State Trooper Gary Cutler said the Colorado State Patrol received a call at 5:52 p.m. reporting that a vehicle had run into someone's field near the intersection of Oxford Road and North 119th Street. At some point, according to Cutler, the car caught fire.
The driver, a 36-year-old man from Arvada, sustained minor injuries and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, Cutler said. There was also a female passenger in the car at the time of the incident, but it's not known whether she was injured.

Japanese table tennis players look to atone for World Championships failure at home Open
By James Crook
June 18 - Top Japanese players will be looking to prove themselves after a shambolic showing at last month's World Championships in Paris when they compete at the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Tour Super Series Japan Open event, which gets underway in Yokohama tomorrow.
Two of the Japanese women's team members that won silver at London 2012, Kasumi Ishikawa and Ai Fukuhara, are seeded first and second respectively, leaving home fans dreaming of an all-Japanese final in the absence of the world's dominant Chinese players.
But the pair will have to make drastic improvements on their performance at last month's World Championships, in which Fukuhara crashed out in the first round, and Ishikawa followed in the second.
World number eight Ishikawa, who was surprisingly hammered 4-0 in her second round clash in Paris by North Korean Myong Sun Ri, is relishing the chance to get back in front of her fans on home turf and perform to her potential.
"I am feeling good," she said.
"This is the first international tournament held in Japan since the London Olympics, so I really want to perform.
"I hope everyone will come and cheer me on, which will help me produce a good performance."
(Left to right) Olympic silver medallists Ai Fukuhara, Sayaka Hirano and Kasumi Ishikawa will make their first home appearances since London 2012 in Yokohama
Ishikawa and Fukuhara were not the only Japanese players to take an early exit at last month's World Championships, as world number 10 Jun Mizutani was also eliminated at the first hurdle after being defeated by a man ranked 121 places beneath him, young Czech player Pavel Sirucek.
Mizutani will have the hopes of the nation resting on his shoulders, and a strong performance will also be expected from Youth Olympic Games champion Koki Niwa.
But up-and-coming local duo Kenta and Kenji Matudaira will also be of interest to home fans, and 22-year-old Kenta believes that he has what it takes to defeat the top seed Chih-Yuan Chuang of Chinese Taipei, who he will face in the second round should both players progress from their opening fixtures.
"Me and Chuang have been very close when playing," he said.
"It will be a tough match but I think I can win, especially with the home crowd on my side."
"I took a break after my breakthrough event in Paris, so I am not feeling 100 per cent fit, but hopefully I will be good enough", said the world number 28, who defeated top 10-ranked players in Chinese veteran Ma Lin and Vladimir Samsonov on his way to the quarter-finals at the World Championships.

Frightening with Cosmic Consequences: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead on their TIFF-Premiering Synchronic
Working for the past several years as a directing tandem, filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead return to the Toronto International Film Festival with Synchronic, a film described by TIFF programmer Michael Lerman as "both suspenseful and subversive." Following two paramedics based in New Orleans as they uncover a series of odd, drug-related deaths, Synchronic represents the next step forward for the two genre-filmmakers. Complete with two franchise-leading stars (Anthony Mackie of Avengers fame and Jamie Dornan of Fifty Shades of Grey), the film marks the directing duo's return to TIFF after a five-year hiatus (when their gory foreign romance, […]

"It's About Pursuing 'Truth' and How Each Journalist Interprets That Word for the Rest of Us": Yung Chang on His TIFF-Debuting This Is Not a Movie
Long a thorn in the establishment's side, veteran foreign correspondent Robert Fisk has spent the past four-decades-plus reporting "subjectively" from frontlines the world over, most notably in the Middle East. An Arabic speaker, who interviewed Osama bin Laden three times before 9/11, Fisk has forever served "on the side of the suffering," political implications be damned. Unsurprisingly, this has caused the Beirut-based Brit to become a controversial, if highly respected, figure, labeled both human rights advocate and terrorist sympathizer alike. Now in his seventies and still dodging bullets, both literally and figuratively, Fisk continues to file columns for The Independent […]

TIFF 2019, Day 5: Knives Out, The Moneychanger
A passion project Rian Johnson has been mentioning since at least 2010, Knives Out will presumably be a cornerstone of some future retrospective on movies made after fulfilling the imperative to successfully execute a blockbuster, alongside Ridley Scott's The Counselor and Colin Trevorrow's The Book of Henry. In 2010, Johnson pegged it as "an old fashioned murder mystery, like an Agatha Christie," and I'd be curious to read the earliest draft to compare/contrast with the final product — the world has worsened considerably since, and the present is unavoidably imprinted. This begins as a locked-room mystery, concerning the suicide (or is it murder, etc. […]

"I Tried to Take a Look at These Things from a Distant Future": Thomas Heise on his TIFF-Premiering Berlin Doc, Heimat is a Space in Time
Winner of the Caligari Film Prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival, Heimat is a Space in Time is German documentarian Thomas Heise's absorbing look at 20th-century history in his homeland via his own family's artifacts — most notably astonishingly intimate letters that sweep us from the rise of Nazism, to the Cold War division of the country, to life on the Stasi-controlled side of the Berlin Wall. Three generations of firsthand accounts, read in unobtrusive voiceover, are gracefully interwoven with family photos and archival images to create a nearly three-and-a-half-hour cinematic epic — one that unfolds in digestible parts like a […]

Diversity was a hotly debated topic within the "Dialogues: At the Table" panel.

The outspoken, decisive Franklin Leonard, who runs online network The Black List, which connects writers and their scripts with agents, producers and financiers, shrugged his shoulders: "The numbers don't lie.

Within two weeks of each other, Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike struck the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the late summer of 2008. The two storms not only caused plenty of destruction on the Louisiana and Texas coasts but also very far inland too. This compilation is of Jimbaux's illustrated story of his personal experiences with Gustav and Ike, which include preparations in New Orleans, "evacuating" into the path of the storm to be with his parents in Cajun country, and then spending the aftermath of the storm in and around Memphis, Tennessee, including of Gustav-related scenes occurring in Memphis, followed by pictures a week later back in New Orleans and in Des Allemands of the effects of both Gustav and Ike.
August 28 – Waiting for Gustav – This post shows some train pictures taken in New Orleans as Gustav was approaching.
August 30 – Heading Into The Path of the Storm – This post shows images from a drive into an area about to be struck by a hurricane.
September 2 – Evacuation From the Aftermath – This post describes and illustrates a dusk drive out of the area where Gustav had just passed, and it describes a nighttime drive to Memphis, Tennessee.
September 3 – Welcome to Memphis! – This post includes scenes of Memphis, mostly railroad activity, and an encounter with an insulting and unimaginative fellow Gustav evacuee from Louisiana.
September 4 – Gustav in Memphis, A Rerouted Gustav Train, and President's Island – This post includes a visit to President's Island and the Canadian National Railway's activity there, the remnants of Hurricane Gustav arriving in Memphis, and a train that normally passes through southern Louisiana rerouted through Memphis.
September 5 – Lorraine Motel, Downtown Memphis, Memphis Streetcars, Central Station Sinkhole, Regular Trains, and FEMA Train – This post includes plenty! It starts with a visit to the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King II was assassinated, shows other parts of downtown Memphis, includes a visit to Central Station and scenes of the sinkhole that occurred there that year, shows the parked FEMA Train that would depart for New Orleans that night, shows other trains in and east of Memphis, shows more scenes of downtown Memphis including the neat streetcars there, and shows Gustav evacuees from the New Orleans area boarding the FEMA train.
September 6 – Returning to New Orleans and Stopping at McComb – A brief visit to McComb, Mississippi, is made, and the location is appropriate considering the overall trip.
September 7 – New Orleans – This lone image shows a train in New Orleans as life returns to normal (the post-Katrina "normal") after Gustav.
September 14 – Ike – With southern Louisiana still reeling from Gustav and still vulnerable, Hurricane Ike came. Ike was an enormous storm that struck near the Texas-Louisiana border, and its storm surge had water going up Bayou Des Allemands (and many other waterways) where the ground was still soaked from Gustav. The comments section of this post includes a comment from an Ohio reader who lost his roof due to Gustav!
Below is seen one of the pictures taken in Des Allemands on September 14 as the community was suffering the effects of both Gustav and Ike simultaneously.
This series, like all of the content on this publication, is a time-consuming, resource-consuming, one-man labor of love that came at a large personal cost to the correspondent who wouldn't know how to not do any of this, for this is how he was programmed from conception!

This is a terrific book. Authors Michel Cormier and Achille Michaud have captured an era in New Brunswick political history that is as lively as good daily journalism and as relevant as good history.
In spite of the title, the book isn't a biography of Richard Hatfield in any strict sense; it's a picture of a province through a changing time, with Hatfield at the centre and the usual cast of characters peopling the inner circle, the outer circle, the margins and the fringes. How can anyone say New Brunswick is dull?
Hatfield was certainly one of the more interesting premiers in our country in the recent past and all the predictable stories are here: Bricklin, kickbacks and Francis Atkinson, the doll collection, the membership in the Parti Quebecois and the bizarre toast to the Princess of Wales and, of course, the marijuana affair. Some of the stories are more familiar (and more frivolous) than others but all, especially the chapter about the Atkinson affair, are meticulously researched and clearly presented.
Other stories (and I was a journalist in New Brunswick and knew Richard Hatfield socially) are less familiar; the authors had good sources and have an engaging way with anecdotes.
Maybe the most interesting thing these authors bring to the book is their own Acadian background. Not a lot has been written for English-speaking readers about the political dynamics of the Acadian communities and the relationship Hatfield was able to build with them – which most certainly was one factor in his longevity as premier.
Certainly Hatfield was a charming and engaging man and his life makes for an interesting story but a reader coming to New Brunswick politics for the first time must wonder how anything got done in the province, how any progress could be made. And in truth, many things didn't get done; progress was limited to one or two areas of Hatfield's special interest.
There was an ambivalence about Hatfield in the province which I think these authors understand very well. Some people voted for his governments because to vote for another party was not an option to be considered.
In this day and age, it's a wonderful thing to read a book that has all the words spelled right and is almost completely devoid of editing inaccuracies. (Okay, IODE stands for Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, not International etc. etc. In the authors' defence, this is an organization not commonly found in Acadian communities.) In general, Goose Lane has made an attractive, readable book – with photographs interspersed rather than bunched in the middle.
People in New Brunswick knew that, I think. That would be another reason for his political success over such a long period.
The book is still available and anyone interested in looking back at fairly recent history would definitely enjoy it.
This book is in my library, and your piece has convinced me it's worth reading. I am familiar with your writing going as far back as the Miramichi Leader and Atlantic Insight. Best wishes.

NBA Power Rankings 2017: Week 1 has Warriors, Cavs, & Thunder leading
The NBA Champion Golden State Warriors are No. 1 on the first edition of ESPN's NBA Power Rankings for the season. [Image via NBA/YouTube]
The top 10 teams for the first edition of ESPN's rankings are no-brainers ahead of the season openers.
October 16, 2017 at 9:04 PM October 16, 2017 at 9:04 PM
The NBA 2017-18 season is just around the corner and ESPN has unveiled their Power Rankings for all 30 NBA teams. It's no surprise that the top three teams are headlined by the reigning world champions, the runner-up team, and the new top contender that is up there with them. Here's a look at the Top 10 NBA power rankings as the season gets started this week.
No. 10 to 6
The Portland Trail Blazers come in at the No. 10 spot with Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and company ready to try for another postseason.
At No. 9 are the Milwaukee Bucks who are one of the rising young teams thanks to their emerging superstar "The Greek Freak." They also feature Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker, and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.
The Bucks are a team to watch out for in the East.
The No. 8 team is the Washington Wizards. They showed that they had the ability to compete last season as John Wall, Bradley Beal, and the Wiz took the Boston Celtics to the limit with a full seven-game series in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
No. 7 goes to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a team that was on the cusp of becoming a playoff team, and, after adding All-Star Jimmy Butler, veteran Jeff Teague, and Taj Gibson, this team is ready to compete.
Surprisingly, the Boston Celtics get the No. 6 spot. One would think this team should be in the top five after adding Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, and Jayson Tatum, but ESPN feels that there are several West teams that are better.
No. 5 to 1
Checking in at the No. 5 spot are the San Antonio Spurs. This team is always ready to compete no matter who's playing on the roster, thanks to savvy veteran coach Gregg Popovich. The team recently worked on a contract deal with LaMarcus Aldridge and is awaiting the return of Kawhi Leonard from injury.
At No. 4 to start the season are the Houston Rockets.
They've reloaded their roster a bit by adding All-Star point guard Chris Paul alongside superstar James Harden. The Rockets look like a team that could challenge in the West, but they are really neck-and-neck with the Spurs and the No. 3 team.
That team at the third spot is the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's hard to argue that any team made bigger moves in the offseason than OKC.
They added Paul George via a trade with the Pacers and then, weeks later, shocked the basketball world by also trading for the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony. Now they have their own "Big Three" of Melo, PG13, and Russell Westbrook.
It's no surprise that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are No. 2 to start the season. That was expected before the season and has been that way for the past several seasons. The Cavs traded away Kyrie Irving but gained Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder. They also picked up former NBA All-Star and champion Dwyane Wade and former NBA MVP Derrick Rose as free agents. With a reloaded roster they'll try to take the title again.
Does that leave any doubt who ESPN would give the top spot in the rankings to? It's the Golden State Warriors -- who really didn't change a whole lot about their roster, and that's a good thing.
The team added former L.A. Lakers star Nick Young but kept their corps of All-Star players intact. It appears that this team is ready to defend their NBA Championship this season as KD, Steph, Klay, and Draymond dominate the competition.

Gray weather has returned to Midcoast harbors, but sailors and others who enjoy time on the water appear to be undeterred, as moorings are inspected and boats launched.
Every day shows more masts swinging to the breeze, and plans for individual and group voyages are under way.
Rockland Yacht Club kicks off 84th season
ROCKLAND —The Rockland Yacht Club announced a successful start to its 84th sailing season, hosted by Steve Pierce.
Three boats left Rockland Saturday morning, June 4, heading for Seal Bay: Webfoot crewed by Commodore M.J. and Dave Shiverick with guests Dale and Nancy Harrington; Altair, a Saga 48 crewed by Rick and Julie Palm; and Spirits crewed by Pierce and Alan MacDonald.
The weather cooperated for the first cruise of the season, with a fresh but cool wind for the start. As the group headed east, the wind eased, facilitating a leisurely sail from Rockland into the entrance of The Fox Islands Thoroughfare.
Going the long way around the south end of Vinalhaven and up East Penobscot Bay, a fourth boat, Black Bear, crewed by Gary Cran and Norm Farrar, left from Pulpit Harbor and was the last boat to arrive at Seal Bay. Dutch Dresser, leaving Rockland on Koan late in the afternoon, spent the night at Perry Creek.
Saturday afternoon was beautiful and calm at Seal Bay. A work session ensued, as the crews on each boat worked on various projects and repairs. Palm went to the top of Altair's mast to put a nut on its wind indicator, which had been noticed wobbling while under sail. Later in the afternoon, the Palms hosted cocktails, displaying work that was done on Altair over the winter at Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding.
Early Sunday morning, Black Bear was the first boat to leave Seal Bay. It was another beautiful day and a little warmer than Saturday. Spirits and Webfoot left about 9 a.m., while Altair waited until later. With a light wind, Spirits and Webfoot motored from Seal Bay and into the Thoroughfare.
Approaching North Haven from Perry Creek, Koan joined Spirits and Webfoot. In company, the three boats continued out the Thoroughfare toward Rockland. Sometime after passing the PB buoy, the wind came up and allowed the group to finish the cruise under sail. Altair's later departure paid dividends for them, as they were able to return from the Thoroughfare to Rockland under sail. All things considered, it was a very nice start to the 84th cruising season.
The Fireworks Cruise, July 2 through 4 off Stonington, is RYC's next cruise and will be led by Don and Jody Abbott. This cruise was very popular last year. Visit the RYC website at rocklandyc.org for more information.

Marine ecologist to speak on mass extinction
BLUE HILL — On Tuesday, June 21, the public will have an opportunity to hear marine ecologist Jeremy Jackson give a talk titled "Brave New Ocean: The Future of the Ocean Past," as part of the Marine Environmental Research Institute Ocean Environmental Lecture Series. Note that this June lecture is on a Tuesday, not the customary Thursday evening.
The biodiversity of the oceans and abundance of marine life are undergoing critical and increasingly rapid changes, a press release said. Coral reefs are being devastated, large numbers of marine fish populations are collapsing, and the planet is losing coastal and marine ecosystems. According to Jackson, major drivers include over-exploitation, trawling, destruction of habitats, globalization of species, ocean warming, damage to marine food webs, and pollution.
Human activities are transforming once productive and complex ecosystems like coastal seas into oxygen-starved dead zones, and devastating kelp forests and coral reefs. The challenge for sustainability in the oceans, said Jackson, is to develop successful management and conservation strategies.
Jackson is director of the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation; William E. and Mary B. Ritter Professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Calif.; and a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
Jackson's lecture will begin at 7 p.m. and will be preceded by a 6 p.m. reception for the speaker and for distinguished marine biologist Nancy Knowlton who will be signing her new National Geographic book, "Citizens of the Sea: Wondrous Creatures From The Census of Marine Life."
Marine Environmental Research Institute is located at the MERI Center, 55 Main St. in Blue Hill. For more information call 374-2135, e-mail info@meriresearch.org, or visit MERI's website at meriresearch.org.

North Haven welcomes alewives
NORTH HAVEN — A story by Catherine Schmitt, first published in the June issue of The Working Waterfront, and linked from the Maine Lobstermen's Association's Landings newsletter at mainelandings.org, described the arrival of two Maine Department of Marine Resources tanker trucks at North Haven, via the Island Transporter.
In the tanks were live, adult alewives taken from the Kennebec River. Their destination was Fresh Pond, which once supported North Haven's commercial alewife fishery.
The article described the work of Jeffrey Pierce, executive director of the Alewife Harvesters of Maine; Adam Campbell, North Haven fishermen and oyster farmer; Charles Curtin, island resident and science professor at Antioch University; Island Institute photographer Peter Ralston; and Toby Bonney and Jason Valliere, fisheries biologists with the Department of Marine Resources, in delivering the fish.
The alewife delivery on May 29 was the culmination of three years of planning and many more of dreaming, Schmitt's article said. "With the arrival of the trucks of fish, alewives will move between Fresh Pond and the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in over a century."
Approximately 25 people were on hand watch 2,500 fish pour into the pond.
"The adult alewives stocked in Fresh Pond will spawn and leave the pond within a week or two," Schmitt wrote. "The eggs will hatch and grow into juveniles over the summer. In the fall, as they migrate to the ocean, they'll pick up sensory cues unique to the North Haven environment. This 'imprinting' will serve to guide them back to Penobscot Bay next year, although they won't be old enough to spawn; that will take another two years, which is why the DMR will be stocking Fresh Pond for the next several years to secure a population."
Research continues on lobster sensitivity
A story by Dawn Drazal, first published in The New York Times, and linked from the Maine Lobstermen's Association's Landings newsletter at mainelandings.org, discussed recent research on whether lobsters feel anything when they are cooked.
Drazal's article presented the work of Richard J. King, in which the author offers insights on a topic that has been under debate since the early 19th century.
"The latest scientific research on the subject holds that although a lobster lacks the neurological hardware to process pain like higher animals, it does register 'nervous irritation,'" Drazal wrote. She offered a number of methods to kill the crustacean with less likelihood of pain, including the suggestion that cooks "anesthetize the lobster in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then, flipping it on its back, use a sharp knife to split it all the way from the top of the tail (technically the abdomen) to the head. That severs the ganglia and kills it almost instantly."
"The lobster population in the Gulf of Maine has inexplicably exploded, and while lobster fishing remains to some degree an individual enterprise, it has also become a multibillion-dollar, globally distributed industry," the story states.
According to the website wordorigins.org, "Scuttlebutt is an early 19th century nautical term for an open cask of water kept on deck for use by the crew. The term comes from scuttle — to cut a hole in — and butt — a large cask. Sailors would gather about the cask and trade stories and gossip, much like modern office workers do at the water cooler or coffee pot. By the turn of the 20th century, American sailors began using the term scuttlebutt to refer to these sea stories and gossip. Eventually the term became associated with any gossip or rumor."

I was on a ten day journey that initially had nothing to do with photography. My brief required that I film in 360* the Cocoa Bean and Shea Nut plantations in Ghana for the EXPO exhibition in Milan scheduled for the spring of 2015.
Ten days were not sufficient time to accomplish everything and, from necessity, the Land Cruiser travelled fast while flashes of Ghana passed, one after the after, before my eyes.
During my many journeys around the world, I always have a camera ready to photograph what fascinates me most; the people I see around me.
'A World of People' is a selection of shots I have taken during the last five years and records the many and varied faces of those people, the people who inhabit your and my world.
These two campaigns were shot for a charity called 'Dubai Cares' and the agency J. Walter Thompson in Dubai. The aim was to raise money to provide education for children in need in Africa, The Middle and Far East.
These photographs were taken during a commission for a charity in the UAE called 'Dubai Cares' and for the agency J. Walter Fhompson in Dubai. The aim of the commission was to raise awareness of these children's need for schools and education.
The shots were to be used for a campaign to raise money for educating children affected by the earthquake in Nepal.
The island of Lamu nestles in an ancient and long forgotten river delta on the kenya coast. An island where, once apon a time, almost all the then known world used to visit leaving behind rich traditions, superstitions and the birth place of the swahili culture. Lamu is a jewel forgotten in time, a land of no pretentions and where secrets still exist waiting to be discovered.
These shots were taken during a commission for a charity called 'Dubai Cares' and J. Walter Thomson in Dubai. The shots were to be used for a campaign to raise money for educating children who live in orphanages in Zanzibar.
These photographs were taken over a period of three years in which the face of the city changed at a frightening pace, acquiring its new appearance; one of cement monoliths, sparkling glass facades, intertwining overpasses and six lane highways.


Lupe (Rio Locsin) and Calixto (Nonie Buencamino) moved to Manila along with Gabriel (Yogo Singh) and their newborn daughter Darlene, after learning that Franco had engaged in land grabbing of Samuel's properties. Gabriel grows to become a quarrelsome boy, planting the seeds of his revenge against Franco.
Franco (Christopher de Leon) walks away with impunity, having been elected as Senator and interested in the presidency. Gabriel (Coco Martin) begins his revenge against him by sabotaging Natalia's (KC Concepcion) wedding to James (Bryan Santos) as he produces photos showing the latter flirting with another woman.
A kind-hearted jail warden named Roman (Dennis Padilla) helps Samuel (Joel Torre) escape from jail. Samuel eventually locates Calixto, Lupe, and Gabriel. In order to begin life anew and help Gabriel exact revenge against Franco, Samuel and Calixto briefly return to Salvacion to dig and sell the gold bars that were buried with Maximo when he was buried alive by Gonzalo and Pacquito before the ship explosion.
Isabelle (Amy Austria-Ventura), introducing herself as Dolores, helps Esther (Arlene Muhlach) after the latter collapses in a public market. She becomes friends with Esther and Roger (Smokey Manaloto), and later meets Jacq (Kim Chiu), whom she is able to recognize as her daughter Andrea.
Gabriel enters into a relationship with Natalia, only to destroy their relationship later on in favor of Jacq (whose real identity Gabriel is not yet aware of) as part of his revenge against Franco. While courting her, Gabriel follows her to Salvacion, accompanied by Jacq. Natalia informs her father's chief of staff and mistress Tessa (Mylene Dizon) about somebody who looks like her mother. The paths of Franco and Jacq then cross as a DNA test proves a father-daughter relationship between them.
Franco holds a party introducing Andrea as his daughter. Isabelle sneaks into the party and Franco sees her Isabelle makes Franco believe that she has an amnesia but its false.Franco lets his wife and children live in the same home, and locks Isabelle and Andrea up to prevent them from escaping again. Natalia got into a fight with Isabelle and Andrea. Later on, Franco came and stopped it by slapping Natalia. Andrea and Isabelle meet up in the room and Isabelle tells Andrea the whole truth about herself and Franco. Unluckily, Tessa recorded their discussion in which they plan to escape with Natalia. Franco forces Isabelle to renew their vows, but Isabelle acting with a fake amnesia, tells him that they should not go to fast into renewing the vows because it is a decision for 2 (Franco and Isabelle). During this occasion, Samuel and Gabriel successfully rescue Andrea and Isabelle, but the following day, Natalia can only helplessly watch as Franco ruthlessly murders Samuel.
Charges of murder, falsification of documents, and domestic violence are filed against Franco, but despite a legislative inquiry and the issuance of a warrant of arrest against him by the NBI, he refuses to surrender, holding Andrea hostage. With Gonzalo's words from his past during the ship exploration, Gabriel decided to duel Franco in a ship, but Franco falls off the ship to his death after getting pierced by the ship's anchor. In the end, Andrea marries Gabriel and it is implied that Gabriel has regained the land in Salvacion that Franco took away from his family.

NYC Has Laws Restricting Big Trucks on City Streets. Are Companies Obeying?
The tractor trailer Henry Panama was driving when he ran over and killed Renee Thompson Wednesday evening. The truck appears to exceed the maximum length allowed on surface streets without a permit. Photo: ##http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/girl-16-killed-truck-upper-east-side-article-1.1414399?localLinksEnabled=false##Daily News##
The death of Bronx high school student Renee Thompson, 16, on the Upper East Side Wednesday evening was the latest in a string of fatal crashes involving large trucks. Thompson was at least the seventh pedestrian killed by a semi-truck driver in New York City in the past year. While there are laws on the books intended to regulate the use of these vehicles, the state of truck enforcement in the city remains opaque, with NYPD's public information office (DCPI) generally providing no details about whether the vehicles involved in these crashes had the proper permits and safety equipment.
Thompson was walking west across Third Avenue on the north side of 60th Street shortly after 7:00 p.m., leaving her job at Dylan's Candy Store, when a tractor-trailer driver turning right from westbound 60th onto Third struck her with the rear wheels of the truck. The driver, Henry Panama, received summonses for violating the pedestrian's right-of-way, careless driving, and operating an unregistered vehicle, but police and prosecutors have not filed criminal charges.
The law requires a permit for trucks longer than 55 feet to operate on surface streets, and it appears the truck Panama was driving likely exceeded that length. DCPI could provide no details about the size of the truck, who owns it, and whether it met safety regulations. It appears, however, that only Henry Panama — not the company that owns the vehicle — faces any penalty for the killing of Renee Thompson.
Last month, the driver of a tractor-trailer killed 73-year-old Ngozi Agbim on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. That truck also appeared to be longer than 55 feet. As did the trucks involved in the deaths of Amar Diarrassouba in East Harlem this February and Jessica Dworkin in Soho last summer. In each case, it remains unclear whether the trucks were being operated with or without permits. NYC DOT, which issues the permits, has not responded to a freedom of information question filed in March about the number of permits it gives to oversize trucks.
Engineering and enforcement measures to improve truck safety are not a great mystery. "We know that trucks are three times as deadly as cars, because their size and weight make the impact on blood, flesh, and bone much, much worse," said Juan Martinez of Transportation Alternatives. "And we also know what to do to reduce the dangers posed by the trucks that rumble through our crosswalks — we design our intersections to make pedestrians the priority, and we deploy law enforcement to let truck drivers know that they need to follow the law. The only big unknown here is whether our leaders have the wherewithal to do what's necessary."
This fatal crash occurred in the 19th Precinct. The next precinct community council meeting is scheduled for this upcoming Monday at 7:00 p.m. at 153 East 67th Street. Call (212) 452-0613 to confirm.

The Simple Change to Truck Design That Can Save Lives
By Stephen Miller	| Dec 18, 2014
When someone is struck by a turning truck driver in New York City, the worst injuries are typically caused when the vehicle's back wheels run over the victim. Amar Diarrassouba, Ngozi Agbim, Noshat Nahian, Jessica Dworkin, and Renee Thompson were among the New Yorkers run over by the rear wheels of large trucks in recent years. Large trucks designed […]

Last month, the Upper East Side's 19th Precinct devoted two full pages to traffic safety in its inaugural monthly newsletter. In an echo of Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, who claimed at the initial Vision Zero press conference that 73 percent of crashes injuring pedestrians are the victim's fault, it featured an eyebrow-raising statistic that blames […]

Medical billing businesses play an essential part in the health industry for medical professionals and patients. They provide a valuable service for doctors and health care providers. Medical coding is a significant portion of the practice of seeing the health care provider. It is the process of showing what kinds of services were given during any type of doctor visit. A decent medical billing business, like parkmedicalbilling.com, will utilize electronic medical billing and it'll help medical care providers tremendously.
Billing process has improved through the years with the assistance of technology. The medical billing procedure is a procedure that involves a medical care provider and the insurance company (payer) pertaining to the payment of health services rendered to the customers. When a service is done in a physician's office each procedure has a specific code that's been assigned to it. The paying company will understand what the doctor performed and then they can pay the physician for those services which were rendered. The insurance provider will pay their part and the patient is going to have to pay their part based on their very own medical insurance policy conditions. This service lowers the multiple points of contact and streamlines the services they're looking for.
When doctors tell you you will need surgery, the price isn't always apparent. If your physician does not pick the most suitable diagnosis code, it's possible your insurance program is not going to cover the care you received. Your health care provider could be able to alter the diagnosis code to one that provides you with the insurance policy coverage you will need. Many doctors won't understand how much money they're getting from a visit with a patient till they are reimbursed from the insurance provider. So, whenever the doctors send a bill to the insurance provider, they will typically increase the true cost to make certain they get adequate payout.
Medical billing and coding is a developing career opportunity in the health care field. It can be hard to acquire a coding or billing job straight away. Becoming an inpatient medical coder demands good academic abilities and persistence. Unfortunately, it has been promoted by some software companies as an easy way to make money working from home, and some people have set themselves up as medical billers who have little or no experience in the field. Whether or not a medical billing or medical coder works in a big institution like a hospital or a modest private practice will also determine salary.
It is very important to realize that a medical billing, coding and transcription certificate is the thing that indicates sufficient knowledge on someone's part of the area, helping the employer have a crystal clear idea of the person's suitability for the job. A health coder and billing agent works very close together to make sure that the billing procedure is taken care of properly the very first time.


The creeks are flowing and the dams are full after reasonable rains through out the winter months. Pruning, one of the most important jobs in the vineyard at this time of the year is almost finished. Pruning sets up the vine for the coming vintage, as we need to leave the right amount of buds per variety, each having different requirements. To many buds and the vine will struggle to ripen the excess fruit, not enough and the vine will be to vegetive with too much growth and will be hard to manage through out the season.
The sheep have been doing their job eating all of the winter weeds, converting them into manure and distributing it around the vineyard as they roam about. Mind you, they will have to go as soon as the vines start to sprout, as they love those new green shoots of our Chardonnay. The first variety to bud burst in early Spring.
Compost is also spread over the vineyard during winter and is the corner stone of our nutritional program. Soil sampling is carried out in Autumn and analysed, any deficient minerals and elements are added to the compost along with our Biodynamic preparations. These aid in the breaking down of our canes from pruning and grape marc (seeds,skins & pips from last years winemaking) and are estimated to contain 80% of the nutrients required for our next years crop.
This all adds to the increase of our soil organic matter and to the sequencation of carbon and it's recycling (the Buzz words of today) We believe this to be the only responsible and sustainable way to farm for the future.
What's happening in the winery at the moment.
All of the new seasons whites are being fined and filtered ready for bottling with many already bottled. Displaying great fruit aromas with strong acidity that is a reflection of the hotter than normal vintage. This has brought the best out in, the varieties of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from the region this year. The marriage of these two varieties into the classic Margaret River blend, showing strong tropical fruit aromas and flavours with crisp acidity.
The reds have finished ferment, pressed and racked off their lees (all solids removed) and put into barrel for further maturation and refinement. They will now be left in barrel for another 12 to 18 months for optimum integration of oak and fruit flavours.This will depend on the variety, fruit weight and style of wine required. All wines are showing ripe, red berry fruit flavours with fine tannins and structure developing. We are all looking forward to the release of these wine in the future.
Now with all of the winter jobs nearly complete we might take a couple of days off and go fishing. Skippy and Herring can be caught every where up and down the South West coast at this time of the year. There is nothing better than freshly caught fish pan fried in butter, washed down with a nice Margaret River Chardonnay or SBS.

Q: SQLAlchemy ORM multiple many to many relationships I am trying to make a movie database and I would like to have the tables: movies, groups(tags), genres and directors. I would like to have a list of groups, genres and directors in the Movie class as well as a list of movies in each of those.
e.g:
Movie:
    file: str
    id: str
    title: str
    etc: str
    groups: list of Group
    genres: list of Genre
    directors: list of Director
Group:
    group: str
    movies: list of Movies with this Group
Genre:
    genre: str
    movies: list of Movies with this Genre
etc...

I have this code:

I am very new to SQLAlchemy and databases in general so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I understand that the list of Group is what is causing the problem but I'm not even sure if the relationships are done correctly. What is the correct way to do a relationship like the one I would like. Thanks for any help.

A: The key issue seems to be that your code does not reflect properly the relationships.
What you need (multiple times) is a Many to Many relationship, which requires an association table.
The code below shoes what needs to change for the Movie/Group relationship, and you can repeat the same changes for other many-to-many relationships you have:
# define secondary table
user_group_table = Table(
    "movies_groups",
    Base.metadata,
    Column("movie_id", ForeignKey("movies.id"), primary_key=True),
    Column("group_group", ForeignKey("groups.group"), primary_key=True),
)

...

# changes to the Movies model:
class Movie(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'movies'
    ...
    # REMOVE below row
    # group_name = Column(String, ForeignKey("groups.group"))

    # CHANGE below as shown
    groups = relationship("Group", back_populates="movies", secondary=user_group_table)
    ...

# changes to the Group model:
class Group(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'groups'
    ...
    # CHANGE below as shown
    movies = relationship("Movie", back_populates="groups", secondary=user_group_table)
    ...

Now the below should work:
info_dict = {
    "file": "",
    "id": "tt0848228",
    "title": "The Avengers",
    "year": "2012",
    "runtime": 143,
    "rating": 8.0,
    "groups": [Group(group='marvel'), Group(group='no-fun')],
    # commented out for now: "directors": [Director(name="Joss Whedon")]
}
movie = Movie.from_dict(info_dict)
session.add(movie)
session.commit()
...

Ok folks you may of missed this on another new group but were planning an unofficial meet up for Northen Lightwave users (UK)so far it look like the first will be Manchetser side of the Pennines and the next Sheffield side (hopefully).
I'll let every one know when it's decided the place and dates, if it is Manchester for instance the guys and gals from the Midlands may be intrested as well as it's only a short train trip north for you all? I'm sure you will be more than welcome.
any way bye for now, I'll keep you posted.
Good luck! I hope you get a good turn out. I used to live near Wakefield, so I`d have come along a couple of years ago, but now the distance is a bit daunting! :) I`ll be back in the UK in another two or three years, so you never know, but you might see me yet.

Upon graduating from high school, I went to work for Greater Louisville First Federal Savings and Loan Association at the corner of 4th and Market downtown. I worked for about five years as a keypunch operator in the IBM Department.
I was 22 years old when I married Doug Edwards in 1965. I quit working when I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Dana, in 1969. I really intended to go back to my job at Greater Louisville, but my husband thought I should be a stay-at-home mom. So, that is just what I became.
Doug started his own dental practice; I did try to work for him, but that was not to be. We divorced in 1982.
I then started working at the Jefferson Mall in the GNC Health Food Store, and continued to work there for several years. I moved to Florida in 1990, and lived in Tampa for about eight years.
Then I got the call from my daughter, Dana; I was going to be a grandma. My perspective on life changed — I was going to be a grandma! So I moved back to Louisville on Halloween night, of all nights, in 1998. A few years later Dana also presented me with another wonderful grandson.
When I returned to Louisville, I started working at Bacon's department store in the Bashford Manor Mall. Then I got a job at AirTouch Communications in the collections department. AirTouch went out of business, so everyone lost their jobs.
Shortly thereafter, I secured a position with Lightyear Communications, now Lightyear Network Solutions, a provider of data, voice and wireless telecommunication services. I worked there for about eight years. They downsized, and guess what? Along with a lot of others, I "got downsized," too.
My mother was getting on in years, so I moved in with her to help with her activities of daily living. She has since passed away. I am happy that I got to spend that time with her.
For the past five years I have worked part time at Sugarbakers Classy Consignment. I enjoy working there and meeting all of the different clientele that I encounter.
In the past 10 years, I have had two hip replacements. Other than that, my health has been good. I love to take walks, read books, and spend time with my daughter and grandsons.
Almost every weekend and some weeknights, I spend my time watching ball games in which my grandsons participate — soccer, basketball, baseball and lacrosse. I did play tennis, but had to give it up because of my hip problems.
I really enjoyed all the reunion activities. I especially enjoyed the party at Richard and Marcella's house. It was a very relaxing, social gathering with great food and great people with whom to get reacquainted.
I hope our classmates stay in touch during the coming years.
All in all, life is good now.
Let's join forces to locate all of our classmates.
Below are a few photos from our monthly planning meetings and our mailing session. Hint: Hover your mouse over the bottom right of the show and click on the square icon to display photos full screen!
We have distributed our class photo directory and the DVDs. The cover is shown above. Contact Barbara Ann Fultz to order your copy, and ask her about also getting the DVD slide shows with most of the photos from the reunion events and this web site!
Billy Guest has two sweethearts in the same photo: Ellen Boyd was a 14 year old freshman when an older guy, Billy, a 15 year old sophomore, asked her to the 1959 Sweetheart Dance in Southern's cafeteria. "That was our first date," recalls Bill. "However, this snapshot was at Ellen's house in 1961." They married in 1963 and have four sons and seven grandchildren. His other sweetie in the picture was "my '56 Chevy. I was showing off the new metallic green, custom paint job. It had a Corvette cam, solid lifters and three deuces, in order to beat that '57 Chevy at Cedar Creek Drag Strip. Share your own snapshots with all of us!
Before Southern, many of us attended Okolona Elementary.
Do you have snapshots from our high school days?
Hey, SHS Class of 1961, we need your help!
Please send us your own photos for display here!

Southerners Walter and Keata (Hogan) Longacre were married in 1963. They have two children, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. While they were in Indianapolis, they were really in the chips! Read about that in their biographies right here on our web site.

Q: Default GWT Checkbox to unchecked I have the following simple class which extends Checkbox and want to make it so that the Checkboxes default to unchecked upon creation. I tried calling setValue(false) in this class however the checkboxes are still defaulting to checked. Any help is appreciated
 public final class ServerTaskCheckBox extends CheckBox {

    private final ServerTask serverTask;

    public ServerTaskCheckBox(ServerTask serverTask) {
        super(serverTask.getCheckBoxLabel());
        this.serverTask = serverTask;
        setValue(false);
    }

    public ServerTask getServerTask() {
        return serverTask;
    }

}

A: The default value of a checkbox is false / unchecked. I assume that you have a setValue(true) somewhere else in your code.
