Home > My council > Council News > Debut for recycling competition winning poster design
Pupils from Parish School with their headteacher Tracey Fulthorpe and Cllr Steve England, Chairman of WLDC
Schoolchildren from across the district got a glimpse of their arty design which has been blown up on the side of a West Lindsey refuse lorry.
West Lindsey District Council organised a competition with schools from across the district to raise awareness of contamination in the recycling bins. The winning design from Parish Church School in Gainsborough, featured a campaign about nappies and was chosen by a panel of judges at the council.
Proud pupils from year 3, 5 and 6 at the school who took part, met the Chairman of the Council, Cllr Steve England to get a glimpse of their competition-winning recycling poster design.
Year 5 Pupil, Ruby explained they had all been learning about recycling in class, and the things they can recycle instead of throwing them away. She said: "We worked together to draw out the design, it was fun".
Teacher, Sam Wilks from Parish Church School said the children were very proud to see their winning design in place on the lorry. She said: "These sorts of projects make the learning real for the children, gives it a purpose. It also starts them off on the right track with their attitudes to recycling."
The competition was launched to raise awareness of recycling and help people to make the right recycling choices.
A thank you to all the schools which took part was added to the other side of the refuse lorry, which will be in service around the West Lindsey area for some time.
Councillor Steve England, Chairman of West Lindsey District council attended the unveiling, and praised the children's efforts: "It was wonderful to meet the schoolchildren and to see how pleased they were to see the design on the lorry. Recycling is something that we should all be thinking about and by starting the conversations at an early age, we will be able to develop good recycling habits for future generations. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part and to the team for organising the competition."
As well as the unveiling of the design, the children were able to get behind the wheel of the refuse lorry and learn some of the many controls on the dashboard, where the flashing warning lights and the horn were particular favourites.
West Lindsey is part of the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) which deals with around 360,000 tonnes of waste per year, most of which is household waste.
In 2017/18,
More than 43% was recycled, reused or composted
Around 52% converted to energy
Less than 5% goes to landfill
The Streetforce lorry was commissioned earlier this year and will be in service around the West Lindsey area for at least the next 5 years, so the children's message will be seen by many people across the district.

More and more men are starting to worry about this: why do al the cool colorways and prints only release in the WMNS collection? Ofcourse that's not always the case but it is true that the WMNS collection is getting more exciting and more striking as well. And the men want to have them too but they only come in the small lady sizes. That's also the case with the Nike Air Max 1 Leopard – Grey & White. This awesome shoe with leopardprint would also be able to be the hype of the gentlemens floor of every sneaker store. Don't you think?
Leopard are the most trendy animal there is right now. At least, when It comes to fashion. We first saw it coming back at the catwalks and also the printp-on-print style is making it's way in the fashion industry, so these Nike Air Max 1 Leopard – Grey & White are probably selling like fresh and warm rolls. Especially because there is also a black sister of this shoe. Black with a yellow (more natural) leopardprint. When you put them together you've got a summer and winter edition!
The Nike Air Max 1 Leopard – Grey & White has a grey rubber sole and a white midsole with in it's heel a red airbubble. This color also comes back on the inside of the shoe, from which you see a small path alongside the ankles when you wear them. For the rest the shoe consists of mousegrey suede and white mesh. Then there are small pieces of mouse grey leather with white leopardprint on the toes, alongside the upper and on the heel.

Grey's Anatomy Wins Big at the 2015 People's Choice Awards
By Jim Donnelly
Congratulations to Grey's Anatomy for taking home four 2015 People's Choice Awards! We are so excited to share that the show won for Favorite Network TV Drama, Favorite Dramatic TV Actress (Ellen Pompeo), Favorite Dramatic TV Actor (Patrick Dempsey) and Favorite TV Character We Miss Most (Dr. Cristina Yang). Thank you all so much for voting!! These big wins got us feeling a little nostalgic, so we're recalling those days of McDream men in halls, panties on the wall and the greatest Post-It wedding of them all. There have been so many memorable moments, compelling cliffhangers and countless on-call room rendezvous since Grey's Anatomy first hit the air on March 27, 2005. Take a look at 8 classic clips.
Stick-to-itiveness: Dr. Spencer Silver was trying to create a super-strong adhesive when he accidentally invented a somewhat-sticky pressure-sensitive one that he put to use with Post-Its. If not for this fortuitous faux pas, two of Seattle's top docs may have never tied the knot. But they did and, yes, they made it stick.
Meredith and Derek's Post-It Wedding|MerDer write their vows down on a post-it and sign it.|Meredith and Derek are way too busy to run down to the courthouse so they do what they can; they write their vows down on a post-it and sign it.
First Person Plural: Who's that person you put down as the one to call in case of an emergency? Do you even have one? Maybe you have several. Maybe you don't have any. A person like this can be hard to come by. When you find your person, you should hold on tight—even if they're not a hugger.
Meredith and Cristina's First "You're My Person"|These two have continued to be each other's person for 10 seasons.|These two have continued to be each other's person for 10 seasons.
Things are Getting a Little McSteamy in Here: Before Addison went off to join a certain Private Practice, she stuck it out in Seattle trying to save her marriage. That never really worked out. Both she and Derek knew it was over. If there was ever even an inkling of doubt about that, a mutual friend helped them see that it was truly over.
Addison and Derek's Marriage is Over|Addison is cheating on Derek with Mark.|Derek felt bad when he came over to break it off, but got over it when he found his soon to be ex-wife cheating on him.
Candlelight McDreams: If you're ever prepping an emergency kit in case of a blackout, you may want to contact Meredith Grey. She apparently has a huge stockpile of candles. She whipped together a wax-based house as part of a rambling effort to woo her McDream man. Derek could only think of one way to shut her up.
Meredith Builds Derek a Candle House|Meredith tells Derek they could be extraordinary together.|While standing in the middle of a symbol of their future, Meredith tells Derek that they could be extraordinary together. McDreamy decides to break it off with Rose.
An Unspoken Bond: It was way back in Season 1 when George O'Malley got the nickname of 007. Others joked he had a license to kill due to the fact that several of his patients died during his internship. George overcame this adversity to become one fine doc. He put forth valiant efforts right up until the end when his old nickname would come into play one more time.
John Doe is Really George O'Malley|George reveals his true identity to Meredith.|Meredith is finally the one to realize the truth after George signs '007' in her palm.
Dead on the Table: Of all the season cliffhangers and premieres, none were more heart-pounding and heart-wrenching than when a gunman went on a rampage in the hospital. He didn't care who he killed, but his primary target was Dr. Derek Shepherd. The gunman found his prey. The only reason Derek is alive today is because of the courage and quick-thinking of his friends.
Cristina Desperately Tries to Save Derek|The gunman barges into the ER and demands that Cristina stop operating on Derek.|The gunman barges into the ER and demands that Cristina stop operating on Derek. He only leaves after Jackson tricks him into thinking that Derek is dead.
Crashing After the Crash: Mark Sloan and Lexie Grey had their share of ups and downs in their relationship. Whether they were together or with others, there's no denying the genuine affection and love they had for each other. This was never more evident than when Lexie said her final goodbye.
Lexie Grey Dies|Lexie and Mark profess their love for each other right before her death.|At first Mark cannot accept that Lexie is going to die. Lexie and Mark profess their love for each other right before her death.
Six De-Grey's of Separation: We love looking back at the great memories of Grey's past, but we also can't wait to come back for more memorable moments each week. That's why we had throw in at least one classic moment from Season 11. Characters may come and go, but they'll never be forgotten. And, well, certain doctors in Seattle are a bit closer than they ever thought!
Six De-Grey's of Separation|"We all have sexual relations. That is horribly weird."|A conversation takes place between Meredith, Alex and Callie about how they all slept with the same people at different times. Remember George O'Malley? Yes, they are all "related through sex." Watch this hilarious scene from Grey's Anatomy Season 11 Episode 7: Can We Start Again, Please?

At least 30 people were injured on 11 December morning after the bus they were travelling in fell off the Jamni River bridge in Tikamgarh area of Madhya Pradesh.
Four people were critically injured in the accident. All the injured have been shifted to Prithvipur hospital.
The bus was returning from Jhansi to Tikamgarh when the accident took place at around 4 am.


With the fate of birth control up in the air after the Senate voted not to require health insurance to cover its cost under ACA plans, many are worried about how they'll continue to afford contraception once changes to the current health care system are implemented.
Those living in states such as New York (which has already passed regulations to protects its residents) will likely remain covered, but others, like those in the states of Arkansas, Texas and Ohio, have serious cause for concern with regard to women's healthcare.
Now, one woman in particular is stepping up to ease some of those concerns: Bill Gates (AKA the best Secret Santa ever)'s wife, Melinda.
Penning her own op-ed piece for National Geographic, Melinda says that she, as part of the global partnership she co-chaired in 2012 dubbed Family Planning 2020, still hopes to deliver on its promise to get 120 million women access to contraceptives by 2020 — despite the fact that they're currently not on track to do so (at their halfway point of July 2016, they had reached 24 million women thus far).
It's a cause that Melinda says is particularly close to home, not only as a woman who has benefitted from birth control herself ("The decision about whether or not to get pregnant was a decision that Bill and I made based on what was right for me and what was right for our family," she says), but with regard to her global work as part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"In the decade and a half since Bill and I started our foundation, I've heard from women all over the world about how important contraceptives are to their ability to take charge of their futures. When women are able to plan their pregnancies around their goals for themselves and their families, they are also better able to finish their education, earn an income and fully participate in their communities," she writes.
Though the partnership would need to increase their productivity over the last three years by nearly 33 percent per year to hit their goal of 120 million, or 32 million women per year, Melinda is not deterred.
Here's to hoping they're able to do just that.
What do you think of Melinda's lofty heath care goals? Share with us @BritandCo.

C-SPAN BookTV Video, 2006
I did this talk (with Q&A) at the New Dominion Bookshop in Charlottesville, VA in May 2006. Apparently, C-SPAN just made its BookTV video archives available online, and the bookstore folks were kind enough to send me the link. As follows:

A Month in Xela
After having lived in Mexico for nearly three years, and still speaking bad Spanish, I decided it was time to do something about this sorry state of affairs. The problem, I realized, was that it was difficult for me to get an "immersion experience" in Mexico: I simply had too many bilingual friends here. I would have to go to a place where there was no escaping the Spanish language, twenty-four hours a day; a place like Guatemala.
I had been to Guatemala two years before, mainly following the tourist route: Antigua, Lago Atitlán, and the villages that surround the lake. Antigua was soaking in language schools, I remembered; but when I consulted the guidebooks on the subject, they all said the same thing: you won't learn Spanish in Antigua. The place is crawling with gringos; you'll just wind up socializing with them and speaking your native tongue. Quetzaltenango--or Xela, as it is popularly known--is where you want to go. Americans don't know about it; it's off the beaten track. So, encouraged by this "tip," I got on the Internet and enrolled in a language school in Xela for four weeks. I flew into Guatemala City two weeks later, and arrived in Xela the next day. (As it turned out, everybody else had apparently read the same guidebooks and had taken the same advice. There were more Americans in Xela than in all of Houston; or so it seemed.)
I don't know what I had expected of the physical environment--something like Antigua, perhaps--but Xela was not it. It soon became clear to me that Antigua was a "showcase" city, the exception rather than the rule. With a population of 200,000, Xela claims to be the second-largest city in Guatemala; yet its infrastructure is completely shot. The streets are riddled with cracks and potholes; sidewalks, when they exist, are typically broken. More often than not, you are walking on dirt or trekking through mud. Riding the buses is not to be undertaken on a full stomach, as they are old and decrepit, and jerk you up and down as though you were in a milkshake machine. The cause of all this is not hard to ascertain: Guatemala is, in effect, ruled by an oligarchy, and a large fraction of the national budget is earmarked for the military (which the country needs like a hole in the head). There is very little left over for roads, bridges, transportation, education, and public health. Truth be told, Guatemala is a lot like the United States, only a bit more strung out.
Of course, the United States has no excuse, whereas after thirty-six years of civil war (1960-96) Guatemala had the stuffing kicked out of it. Nearly half the population is illiterate, and half the country's children suffer from malnutrition. With heavy American support, the Guatemalan military undertook a scorched-earth campaign, complete with U.S.-trained torture and death squads, that destroyed any possibility of social justice. The result? After 626 massacres there were something like 150,000 dead, 100,000 desaparecidos, 1 million persons who had gone into hiding, and 1 million refugees (most of them fleeing to Mexico and the United States). More than 440 indígena pueblos were wiped out, 200,000 children were orphaned, and 40,000 women became widows. The urban population is understandably demoralized and cynical, living in a strange kind of spiritual vacuum. What Gertrude Stein once remarked about Oakland, California, applies to Xela a hundred times over: There is no "there" there.
The odd thing is that this huge void at the center has been filled by a purely consumer culture, one very much based on the U.S. model of the "good life." In fact, Xela comes across as a bad version of a bad American city--Sacramento, Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, etc. "Culture" consists of cell phones and Internet cafés, which are always crowded; there doesn't seem to be much else. Whatever happened to the Maya?, I thought to myself. To an outsider, the whole thing made for a strange sight: elderly indígena women on broken-down buses clutching cell phones, and nine-year-old Mayan girls tottering around on high-heeled shoes. And as in the majority of U.S. cities, the people are basically unfriendly. The staff in stores consists mostly of adolescents, who won't make eye contact and can barely grunt out "para servirle." It is as though what the United States was not able to destroy by means of "hard power," it was now finishing off by means of "soft power"--electronic toys, blockbuster films, Coca-Cola, and neoliberal economics.*
These impressions were largely confirmed by conversations I had with people born and raised in the town. One woman, a social worker in her early forties, agreed with me about American electronic gadgetry being the focus of Xela culture. "It's quite amazing," she told me; "I work with families who go to bed hungry, who literally go without food, so that they can buy and maintain a cell phone. It enables them to say, 'yo soy alguien' (I am somebody), because in truth, they have no other identity or source of self-esteem. It's pretty pathetic, but that's what Guatemala has come to." (I subsequently learned that Guatemala is No. 1 in Central America in cell phone consumption, and No. 3 in all of Latin America.)
"When did all this start?", I asked her, "and how?"
"I think in the sixties," she replied, "around the time that I was born. The greatest single influence was American television. Those images of the wealthy consumer life had a big impact on the Guatemalan population. Most of us still believe the images are real."
"But what did Guatemalan culture consist of before the CIA overthrew the Arbenz government in 1954, and before the invasion of American TV?", I continued.
She shrugged her shoulders. "I honestly don't know. What you see in Xela today–McDonald's, Wendy's, shopping malls and all the rest–is all I've ever known. It's who we are now. I don't know who we were before that."
I confess, I found this really chilling. It reminded me of that town in One Hundred Years of Solitude that lost its identity because the inhabitants forgot the names of things.
The language instruction I received in Xela, in any case, was first-rate: one-on-one classes, four to five hours per day, until I felt my head was going to explode. That aspect of my time in Xela was very positive, and in fact I became good friends with the director of the school, who was also a professor of economics at the local university. All of this made the trip very worthwhile. But I couldn't--can't--shake the image of a city without purpose, without meaning, and of a country which, having been largely destroyed by U.S. politics, now seeks to emulate the American economy and American culture, both of which are dying. If the sources of vitality can no longer be found in traditional Mayan culture, then it's not clear where they can be found, or what the future holds for a nation that became a pawn in the Cold War through no fault of its own and was subsequently hung out to dry.
My four weeks in Xela having come to an end, I decided to clear my head by spending a couple of days in Antigua before returning to Mexico. Yes, I thought, it's a tourist trap and a showcase town, but two days of sitting in the central square drinking that exquisite Guatemalan coffee and reading newspapers may be good for the soul. Which proved to be the case. And then, during one of those days, I ran across something that caught me completely off guard: a gallery crammed with Guatemalan art, art that was absolutely dazzling. Oils, acrylics, ceramics, you name it--the colors were truly vibrant.
"Where is all this from?", I asked the curator. "Who did all this?"
"It's all Guatemalan," he told me, "artists from 25 to 80 years of age. From all over the country," he added. A few of them, it turned out, actually lived in Xela.
I stood there and gaped. After four weeks of living in a spiritless environment, I was now confronted by this marvelous concentration of spirit, of art as fine as I had seen in galleries in Mexico City or New York. "Your country wasn't able to destroy us completely," the paintings seemed to be saying. "Not with guns, and not with gadgets. There are still a few of us who know what life is about."
Of course, I wound up buying a small painting and hanging it on the wall of my study back home, along with some photos I took of the Guatemalan countryside. I look at it every day. And if I listen closely, I can still hear it whispering, from time to time, telling me about a life that refuses to be extinguished. It reminds me of a graffito I once saw on a wall in Chiapas, addressed to the ruling class: "Nuestros sueños no caben en sus urnas"–Our dreams do not fit into your ballot boxes. Would that that were true of all of Latin America.

*What I am describing here, however, may not apply to rural Mayan culture, and there is some literature pointing to native resistance to Americanization and consumerism. Anthropologist Robert Hinshaw, who lives in the Mayan village of Tzununá, says that his neighbors are proud of their traditional culture and not interested in having it altered in any significant way--although they all seem to own cell phones(!). Edward Fischer, who lived in Patzún and Tecpán for twenty-eight months during the 1990s, claims that globalization has galvanized a resurgence of Mayan identity politics. His work, however, has been questioned by other anthropologists. The jury, in short, is still out on this matter. See Jack Houston, "Robert Hinshaw," Revue (Guatemala City), Vol. 18 No. 6(August 2009), pp. 18-19 and 106; Edward F. Fischer, Cultural Logics and Global Economics (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2001); and the review of the latter by Charles R. Hale in the Journal of Anthropological Research, Vol. 59 No. 2 (Summer 2003), pp. 296-98.

ones. I would agree to return failure in this case.
gpg:          This could mean that the signature is forged.
(gpgv does the same, trust me (tm)).
I don't think that's what we want. An OpenPGP certificate has a claimed temporal validity window: from the creation date of the certificate to its expiration or revocation date.
in the tarball i attached above, we reject signatures that have been made before the key was claimed to be valid.
so gpgv and gpg are *not* ignoring the key's claimed temporal validity window entirely -- they respect the start of the claimed temporal validity window.
But they ignore the *end* of the temporal validity window. That seems like a mistake.
Sorry, I expressed my concern poorly. gpg does recognize the keys as being expired/revoked, but this is not reflected in the exit code of the gpg/gpgv process.
$ python3 -c "import gpg; print(gpg.Context().verify(open('/home/teythoon/repos/g10/gnupg/obj/fortune.expired.gpg')))"
$ python3 -c "import gpg; print(gpg.Context().verify(open('/home/teythoon/repos/g10/gnupg/obj/fortune.revoked.gpg')))"
for expiration (or for revocations flagged "key was superseded" instead of "compromised"), you can have a signature made *before* the key's expiration/revocation, but you might be verifying it *after* the key was revoked/expired.
In this circumstance, signature S is invalid (and can only be made valid if the key's expiration date is updated to a point later than t=2).
Thinking about it more broadly, i think that gpgv (and gpg, when used in signature verification mode) should have a return code that is as close to the true/false underlying semantics that users will want, rather than relying on status messages to distinguish between these cases.
obviously, there's more nuance to this than true/false can provide, but users *want* a simple verification step, so they're likely to use the return code. we should make sure it works as clearly and cleanly as we can.
We are in feature freeze and changing the status code of gpgv will likely cause problems for gpgme. We need to defer this.
Can you describe the problems it would cause for gpgme? gpgme already currently expects that gpgv will return a failure for signatures made before the validity window of the key. so gpgme won't break just because gpgv is capable of returning a non-zero response.
I also note that back in 2016 Werner identified this as a candidate for 2.1. Please help make revocation and expiration actually meaningful.
GPGME does not use gpgv. What Justus likely meant is that we would need to change the common code used by gpgv and gpg. That may give problems in GPGME.
I did not re-read this thread but I do not think that this would affect GPGME. However, we need to stop fixning bugs at some point and do a release for a stable maintained branch (LTS they call it these times). This is why we can't fix this now. I am really sorry about this. Many other things took too much time and thus the 2.2 release is more than a year late. We need to live with some bugs for now and find a way later to fix them without an invasive patch.

Omega Boost (PS1)
Perspective: Behind view
Gameplay: Shooter
Vehicular: Mecha / giant robot
Setting: Sci-fi / futuristic
Published by: Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc.
Developed by: Polyphony Digital Inc.
Omega Boost is a development of the well-known genre of transformers, where all sorts of robots shoot at everything without a break and are quite gracefully transformed along the way. The game is detailed to the point of impossibility, and also has a huge number of locations. Dynamic lighting works differently in each area. Progress has already reached the point that each weapon is illuminated in its own way. Each robot has at least three types of weapons, two standard and one special (homing missiles, volcanic cannon and special attack), so all robots feel very confident in battle. Each robot can aim its missiles at the enemy in much the same way as it was done in the Panzer Dragoon series. But now you get the accelerated targeting capability that gave the game its name. Omega Boost has several other useful innovations. So, if you lose sight of the enemy, then your systems will automatically scan the surroundings in search of the enemy. There is also a homing laser, which acts automatically and can be aimed at several targets at the same time, and in addition, the Baru Cannon, which does not have much power, but shoots very quickly, and the projectiles are automatically aimed at the target. The device, mysteriously named Viper's Acceleration, is not really anything special. If there is no chance of finishing off the enemy with the help of standard weapons, then you can use this Haste to crash directly into the enemy, like a ram. Thus, you kill two birds with one stone - deal with the enemy and get rid of your dilapidated robot without the cost of disposal.

The Room Next Door: The Private Papers of Bayar and Okyar
I was mesmerised by the diversity and wealth of the papers' content.
Ozan Ozavci reflects on meeting the descendants of key figures of early Republican Turkey, and the priceless private papers these families have preserved.
e-mail: h.o.ozavci@uu.nl
In November 2014, through a common acquaintance, I had the privilege to meet the family of Celal Bayar (1883-1986), the third president of the Republic of Turkey and a member of the Turkish delegation to Lausanne in 1922-3. Back then I was making the final revisions to my book about the times and ideas of the liberal writer and politician Ahmet Ağaoğlu (1869-1939). Since the Bayars and the Ağaoğlus had lived in the same building in Keçiören in the nascent years of the Turkish republic, I was hoping the two families' proximity might have produced one or two juicy anecdotes that I might include in my book.
Bayar's daughter Nilüfer Gürsoy and granddaughter Emine Gürsoy-Naskali welcomed me in their house in Erenköy, one of the well-off residential districts in Istanbul. They were both wonderful hosts; courteous, congenial and pleasantly curious. Aged in her mid-nineties at the time of our meeting, Nilüfer Hanım's sharp memory astonished me throughout our conversation, which lasted more than four hours. Listening to her stories about republican politics, especially the Democrat and Justice Party eras in the 1950s and '60s, was an invaluable experience of oral history. Not many historians, she told me, "knock on my door for this."
"Not many historians" she told me, "knock on my door for this."
Just as invaluable was her daughter Emine Hanım's comment that the private papers of Celal Bayar were kept in one of the rooms opposite the spacious salon in which we sat. The room wasn't readily available for me to investigate on that first visit. But on my second visit to Erenköy, six months later, I was allowed in. In the dim light of the room I wandered amidst the files, randomly plucking a few out: one held German documents from the mid-1930s, requesting certain profitable economic concessions from the Turkish government.

Much more remained to be found, as the catalogue of the papers (134 pages, single-spaced) suggested: files on Ottoman and republican-era domestic issues ranging from the 31 March Event to the Armenian question, from the Independence Tribunals to Yassıada, and from the Caliphate and Kurdistan issues to the capitulations at the Lausanne Peace Conference.
I was mesmerised by the diversity and wealth of the papers' content. Of course, my living in another country meant that I'd have only limited access to them. Fortunately the digitisation of the papers could begin in situ, and the family members generously provided access to the materials. Along the way, several meetings were held with fellow historians, including my colleagues at CETOBaC, with digital archivists from Gallica and the Kadıköy History and Art Library and with family members in Istanbul and Paris, to decide on how best to store the materials and make them available to researchers. The documents will be accessible at the Celal Bayar Foundation building in Bursa, after its renovation in 2022-3.
In the meantime I've had the opportunity to meet the families of other key figures of the early Republican Turkey, such as the eponymous grandson of A. Fethi Okyar (1880-1943), the second prime minister of the republic, and his wife, İlkim Buke Okyar, who is a fellow historian. Okyar's private papers are also kept in the family house in the Princess Islands. Though smaller in size, its contents are equally priceless for the insights they afford into early republican politics and diplomacy, and still await cataloguing for the use of historians.
In our forthcoming edited volume on Lausanne as well as in the pages of this website we intend to draw attention to these and other untapped archives. Who knows, maybe they can place the early twentieth-century global Middle East in a new perspective, and enable us to re-write its histories beyond the confines of memoirs, state and company archives and secondary sources that determine the current state of the art.
Just imagine how much is waiting for us – in the room next door!

One of the challenges of selling quilts online is that colors are not always shown true on every monitor or screen. When I get a request for a custom quilt, I will often ask for a paint chip number so I can find the right fabric for that quilt.
These fabrics are for a twin sized chevron quilt and I think I found a pretty close match with these Robert Kaufmann Kona solid cottons.

Ivanka Trump Is Getting An Office At The White House
By Lindsey Pulse
The president's daughter will also get security clearance and government-issued communication devices.
Ivanka Trump is setting up camp at the White House.
Senior officials say the first daughter is getting an office at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Her attorney said she's set to receive government-issued communication devices and security clearance.
This isn't typical; Ivanka Trump is not a government employee, nor will she be, and there's not a whole lot of precedent for a first family member to have this kind of power.
Her attorney said she'll serve as President Donald Trump's "eyes and ears," but it's unclear exactly what that means.
Ivanka Trump has agreed to abide by the same ethics rules as official government employees.

But ethics watchdogs have questioned whether that's going far enough. The younger Trump has distanced herself from her businesses and brand but hasn't relinquished all ties.
Jared Kushner, Ivanka's husband, also has watchdogs wondering about conflicts of interest. Kushner serves as senior adviser to the president.
Still, Ivanka Trump says she'll continue to offer "advice and counsel" to the president as she has for her "entire life."


You can call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and urge your representative to vote for the Taylor Force Act (H.R. 1164).
On Tuesday, the U.S. House is expected to vote on the Taylor Force Act (H.R. 1164) which would pressure the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) to stop the practice of paying convicted terrorists and their families by eliminating U.S. funding to the P.A. unless it stops these types of payments.
The bill was authored by Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-CO and Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-NY. The bipartisan legislation passed the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Nov. 15 in a unanimous vote.
Rep. Ed Royce, R-CA, serves as the chairman of the committee.
"Since 2003, it has been Palestinian law to reward Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails with a monthly paycheck.
Palestinian leadership also pays the families of Palestinian prisoners and suicide bombers. These policies incentivize terrorism," Royce said.
The bill was named in honor of U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force, who was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2016. The 21-year-old terrorist behind the brutal stabbing of Force was killed by police, but he was praised by the Palestinian Authority government and his family received lifelong financial compensation.
Pension for life triple the average salary in P.A. areas.
And that's where this current legislation draws the line. Royce says stopping that practice—courtesy of $300 million U.S. tax dollars every year—is what's behind the Taylor Force Act.
The practice is known as #pay-to-slay.
Despite earlier pressure from Congress to stop these payments, the Palestinian Authority has actually raised the amount paid to terrorists whom they consider martyrs. The payments are on a sliding scale. The more successful the attack, the bigger the payout.
In the 2017 P.A. budget, money to convicted terrorists serving time in Israeli prisons increased by 13 percent and four percent more went to their families—more than 30,000 recipients in all.
This year, direct funding of terrorism has reached $355 million and yet the P.A. is largely funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

XponentialWorks expands manufacturing facility in Ventura to provide more Industry 4.0 jobs
Anas Essop July 18th 2019 - 12:00pm 0 0
XponentialWorks, a California-headquartered venture investment, advisory and product development firm for 3D printing and other Industry 4.0 technologies, has announced the expansion of its Innovation Labs based in Ventura, CA, with the opening of a new manufacturing facility. The new building will double its existing floor space, and was established to reflect the growth of XponentialWorks' portfolio companies, which are beginning to commercialize their products and services.
Companies within XponentialWorks' portfolio, like Nexa3D, will also benefit from the enhanced manufacturing infrastructure generated by the expansion, including an array of new Manufacturing 4.0 jobs. This will help to scale the companies commercial and manufacturing output.
"Our ongoing growth and expansion validates our initial site selection in Ventura and reflects the growing needs of our portfolio companies and the resilience and endurance of our unique business model," explained Avi Reichental, CEO of XponentialWorks.
"Each of our portfolio companies now has greater resources to develop, manufacture and scale their commercialization efforts and more importantly, more opportunity to collaborate and collide with other startups and mature companies that together are developing game-changing solutions to some of society's biggest challenges."

Establishing Ventura as the new hub for Industry 4.0
XponentialWorks was founded by Avi Reichental, former CEO of 3D Systems, in 2015. The company aims to develop digital manufacturing and autonomous robotic technologies, including additive manufacturing, by combining the innovation of startups with the experience of mature businesses within its infrastructure. It focuses on investing in startups to nurture their growth and success, while assisting large, mature companies with digitalization.
With the expansion of its manufacturing facility, XponentialWorks is aiming to provide an increase in sourcing and supply chain operations, while its portfolio companies undergo the commercialization of their products. This will help create business opportunities for hardware and software suppliers within local and regional areas.
Significantly, the expansion is also part of a bid from Reichental to establish an alternative tech capital to Silicon Beach in Ventura County, cementing the region as a new innovation hub geared towards "reviving and expanding the manufacturing space." Ventura offers lower facility and operational costs, and is in a prime location for sourcing talent, according to XponentialWorks. Since its founding the company has created dozens of jobs in Ventura, and with the new manufacturing space and expanded innovation lab, it is expected that XponentialWorks will create over 100 more jobs within the next year.
"Ventura is quickly becoming the heart of our portfolio companies' efforts to digitize the future of manufacturing," added Reichental. "We built our entire ecosystem in Ventura seeking to differentiate from the overcrowded Silicon Beach and Silicon Valley economies and forgo the fierce talent market competition."
"The announcement of our third expansion in just 24 months underscores the fact that in selecting Ventura, we have selected a region that offers an attractive and qualified talent pool in a highly desirable community."

Xponentialworks portfolio of 3D printing companies
Currently, XponentialWorks has a total of eight startups undernearth its venture portfolio, and five mid-size manufacturing companies as corporate partners.
Examples of startups within its venture portfolio includes the California-based 3D printer manufacturer Nexa3D, which recently unveiled the new Varseo XL SLA 3D printer at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2019 in Cologne. UNYQ, a company specializing in 3D printed medical wearables based in San Francisco, and NXT Factory, the California-based company behind Quantum Laser Sintering (QLS), are two more startups that have received investments and mentoring from XponentialWorks.
The company has also established corporate partnerships with the likes of XYZprinting, a Taiwanese 3D printer manufacturer, and Nano Dimension, a pioneer in the 3D printing electronics market. Avi Reichental himself joined Nano Dimension's board of directors in 2017.

The skies opened up and the angels descended. They had a mission to take our loving mother Florence home to rest with them.
Born Florence Elizabeth Adamowicz on Feb. 22, 1927, to the late Bolislaw and Alexandra (Milewska) Adamowicz, on a small farm in Cromwell, Mom had a large family, many of whom are now deceased: Stanley, Genevieve, Raymond, Joseph, Edward, Walter, Francis and brother Charles, who died in WWII. She is survived by a sister, Laura, who will be 100 this year, and her very special brother, Bay, and we can't forget Aunt Shirley, Mom's besti, her Sunday morning gossip partner. Our father, Albert, passed away at the young age of 49, in 1974, which left Mom alone but never lonely.
She also leaves three children, Charlie and his wife, Laurie of Vernon, Peter of Terryville and her daughter Amy and partner John, of Meriden; Six grandchildren, David, Daniel (Joanna) and Aaron (Kristina) Audette, Alex (Briana) DiMauro, Jessica Philips and Ashley DiMauro. Also three little guys, Nolin Phillips, Dominik and Maria Audette.
Mom loved to walk. She'd walk down to have her nails done and to get those scratch tickets she loved so much. She also never missed a Little League game. Although we had a divided house, Red Sox/Yankees, we somehow made it work. She spent her last few months living with her daughter in Meriden. She wasn't able to do much walking there, but there was always someone to purchase her scratch tickets. She had lot of nieces and nephews that came to visit faithfully, and for that, we are ever so grateful, To Sandy, Melanie, Alissa and Allison - your help, guidance and genuine love for our Mom made her last few months bearable. A heart- felt thank you for your service.
Friends and family may call on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Berlin Memorial Funeral Home, 96 Main St., Kensington. Everyone is invited to go directly to Sacred Heart Church, 66 Cottage Street, East Berlin, at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 17, 2019, for a Mass of Christian Burial. She will be laid to rest with Dad in Rose Hill Cemetery, when the time is right.

Vice President Joe Biden made a "Get Out the Vote" campaign stop at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Madison on Friday, November 4 – just days ahead of this year's presidential election.
Nestled behind the scenes of such events are the Madison Fire Department and other agencies, all working together to guarantee everybody has a safe and enjoyable experience.
A MFD ambulance joined the motorcade that escorted Vice President Biden to the event venue. With large crowds anticipated downtown, another was prepared to respond to medical emergencies from Fire Station 1 on Dayton Street.
Meanwhile, Code Enforcement Officers (CEOs) with the MFD's Fire Prevention Division were busy inspecting the Orpheum Theater to make sure all safety codes were enforced and adhered to. Officers also monitored crowd capacity, ensured clear access to all emergency exits, and stood by the fire alarm panel during the event, ready to respond and investigate any alarm that might come in.
MFD's CEOs are well-versed in activities like these. When political dignitaries aren't coming to town in the throes of election season, there are still Badgers football games, Kohl Center events, Freakfest, and many other occasions that require this kind of special attention.
MFD Code Enforcement Officer Scott Strassburg contributed to this post.

Eagles Great Wes Hopkins Dies at 57

Former Eagles safety Wes Hopkins passed away Friday at age 57, the team announced.
Drafted by Philadelphia in the second round in 1983, Hopkins spent his entire career with the team, playing 10 NFL seasons before retiring after the 1993 campaign. Andre Waters and Hopkins were the safety duo on the 1991 Eagles defense known as "Gang Green," a unit that is considered to be one of the best ever.
Hopkins, a first-team All-Pro in '85, played 137 career games, the third-highest total for an Eagles defensive back. His 30 interceptions rank fifth in team history.
Former Eagles linebacker Garry Cobb was first to announce Hopkins's death, writing on Twitter that the safety was "a great player, a great teammate" and that "we will all miss him dearly."
"Wes Hopkins is one of the best safeties in the history of our franchise and played a major role in the team's success during his time here in Philadelphia," Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He was well-respected among his teammates and coaches, not only because of the way he played the game and what he was able to accomplish on the field, but also because of the way he carried himself and the type of leader he was. He had a genuine love of the game and that's one of the reasons he connected so well with the people of Philadelphia. Wes will be forever remembered as an Eagles Legend and somebody who helped build the foundation for our organization's success. Our thoughts are with his family during this time."
Hopkins was a 2018 inductee to the SMU Athletics Hall of Fame. He initially joined the team as a walk-on but became an all-conference player during his final two seasons in college.

7 Khoon Maaf is an intense and dark film. Based on Ruskin Bonds short story Susannas Seven Husbands, Vishal Bharadwajs latest is treat for the thinking mind.
Susanna is a lady in search of love. She finds it, not once but six times, each time being betrayed by life. And yet, like an eternal optimist, she jumps from one failed marriage to another, at times within the blink of an eye. The film captures her journey from a 21 year old to her sixties as she goes around killing each of her husbands.
Vishal, adept at translating novels onto celluloid, takes Ruskins short story and infuses it with immense detailing and depth. Every character is sketched out with care not to paint them black or white. He handles the music too, giving us the brilliant Darling and Bekaraan.
That brings us to the films other pillar, Priyanka. Playing Susanna and her life from twenties to sixties is a tough task that she pulls off with the finesse of a veteran. She is confident, assured and relentlessly evil reveling in the bestial undertones to her character. And yet, it is to Priyankas credit, that she brings such an innocence to Susannas craving for love, that not once does the audience hate her for being the murderer. This film is a milestone in her career as well as for the Hindi film heroine.
Not everything is perfect with the film though. It definitely needs sharper editing and shortening. The narrative gets clumpy towards the end, with the climax getting a little tardy. And for a commercial flick, it lacks the chutzpah to rake in the bucks.
The films narrative is episodic, which works in the first half of the film but is a bit of a drag post interval. Scenes and episodes transition and not change, adding to the lyrical quality of the film while also lengthening it unnecessarily. Of the husbands, Neil, Irrfan and Naseeruddin leave an impact, but it is Annu Kapoor who takes centre-stage with his immaculate performance. John is just passable, while new comer Vivaan is a revelation.
Inspite of all this, 7 Khoon Maaf is a gem, something we dont often see in Hindi films. A shining example of international cinema coming out of mainstream Bolywood, this one is definitely worth a watch.
