A message to all of our friends and supporters
It has been nine, long and arduous months of campaigning to retain the historic Maurice Kirby Velodrome from destruction at hands of the City of Greater Dandenong. Never before has our community rose to an injustice fraught with the knowledge the community will never be listened to but, despite this injustice we all took up the challenge against the City of Greater Dandenong and fought until the very end.
In the process we were fortunate enough to rediscover and retell the humble story of a Noble Park and Melbourne identity, that was Maurice Kirby and his passion for not only cycling and sports but also his ability to bring issues to the forefront of public discussion.
A heartfelt thank you to Noble Park locals who took this photograph then sent it to us, eg: they can remove a velodrome but they will never remove our dreams ❤❤❤
As this campaign draws to a close, we thank each and every one of you for persisting against the bias that was glaringly obvious to anyone that took notice. All those long emails and phone calls to council and our elected representatives, your attendance at council meetings were not for nothing.
Out of this we have reformed the old Noble Park Dandenong Cycling Club Inc. and we will continue to carry on Maurice Kirby's legacy.
Join the club: http://nobleparkdandenong.cc/membership/
We thank each and every one of you again for fighting so incredibly hard to save the Maurice Kirby velodrome. The Noble Park community has spoken and the fight for justice will have no expiration date!
Maurice Kirby, Velodrome
Sarah Gigante: Velodromes are really great places for kids to learn to ride a bike in a safe environment
Also I remember when I was little and it was my first time on a velodrome and even though I was only probably going 20km per hour, I felt like a little Olympian, we all did, following in the footsteps of the other cyclists

Sarah Gigante talks about her
racing journey
I've been racing my bike since I was 8 years old and along the way, I've met so many great people, learnt how to really push myself and also kept very fit. These are just some of the benefits of the wonderful sport of cycling. I've also won many junior national titles and represented Australia at the Junior Track and Road World Championships in Switzerland and Austria. Earlier this year, I was crowned the Elite Women's Road Race National Champion.
My racing journey all began at an outdoor velodrome, just like the Noble Park velodrome. In my case, it was the Brunswick Cycling Club's home track. It's a bit bumpy in places and the back straight is downhill, but we all love it and it's used every day.
The most important part of Brunswick is that they run a Junior Clinic on the track for kids aged between three and sixteen, and I can definitely see the new Noble Park Cycling Club starting up something similar in the future with the many children and novices who visit the velodrome.
Sarah Gigante: My racing journey all began at an outdoor velodrome, just like the Noble Park velodrome.
As it is, simply having the velodrome there is a very encouraging and safe option for all bike riders, no matter their age or experience. The roads around the area are quite busy and filled with fast-moving traffic, so for serious cyclists, the velodrome offers a place to train and go as fast as they want while knowing that they will arrive home safely. For families, the velodrome is also a great location to ride a bike.
Bike paths are fantastic and definitely serve their purpose, but when you have kids of different speeds, the velodrome allows everyone to go their own pace while still staying near each other and staying safe. This is also helpful for non-cycling parents, who want to let their children grow up with the freedom of riding a bike, but would prefer to just watch from the sidelines.
While also keeping cyclists fit, happy and off the couch, the velodrome offers another benefit for aspiring riders. The track cycling at the Olympic Games is one of the most memorable and inspiring events, with the steep velodromes and incredibly powerful athletes.
By having a local velodrome, the community's kids are able to start to follow in the path of these cyclists and they may see a starting point for their own cycling and racing journey.
Advocacy, Club News, Maurice Kirby, Velodrome
Who was Maurice Kirby?
So who was Maurice (Maurie) Kirby? Read the Kirby's family account below of the larger than life sporting legend and local resident of Noble Park.
"Angus Burrows came from Neerim South sometime before 1915 and established the bakehouse, along with two shops and residences in Leonard Avenue, Noble Park.
Mr. Burrows' wife died and he remarried. His daughter, through a broken marriage could not support her young son, Maurice, and fostering was considered. The solution was for the grandparents to adopt him.
Velodrome or soccer fields?
City of Greater Dandenong has put out plans to demolish the Historic Maurice Kirby Velodrome to make way for an additional soccer field.
The historic velodrome was built between 1954-1955 and named after Maurice Kirby, a Noble Park resident who founded the Pedal Clubs of Victoria which reached 50,000 members strong. He was also a well known sports commentator for 3XY radio and Channel 9 tv station.
This is the only velodrome remaining in the region and the City of Greater Dandenong have no plans to resurface, rebuild or replace the historic venue.

Parkfield Reserve Draft Master Plan
The masterplan released by the council can be seen below.
Point 3 reads: "Demolish the existing velodrome and expand the existing cricket oval". If you look at the masterplan carefully, it is clear the historic velodrome is mainly removed to make way for an additional soccer ground.

Outcry against velodrome plan
Dandenong Journal: Outcry against velodrome plan. By Cam Lucadou-Wells (24 August 2018)
Riders John Inguanti, David Koroknai,Kim Nguyen and Alan Giang at the velodrome.
The daughter of Noble Park sports legend Maurice Kirby has spoken out against draft plans to demolish a velodrome named in his honour.
Gayle George told Star News the family was not consulted by Greater Dandenong Council, which had proposed to remove the Parkfield Reserve cycling track for a shared cycling path, soccer fields and cricket nets.
"The first I heard of it was when I was recently messaged on Facebook.
"I was very disappointed."
Her larger-than-life father Mr Kirby ran a cycling shop in Noble Park, was a sports caller and set up the enormously popular Pedals Club for hundreds of children in the 1950s.

Utah Grizzlies: Fickle Fortune
If Fortune favoured the Grizzlies on Monday, she proved a fickle friend last night.
The first shift of the game began well for the Grizzlies, though they were quickly hemmed into their own zone for the next few shifts, as Adirondack got to work. Utah scrambled in their own end a little, but after four minutes, shots were tied 3-3, and the Grizzlies began to push back.
At 4:15, Jon Puskar turned and fired in the high slot, and Mathieu Aubin put the puck past Ken Appleby for his second of the year.
The play went back and forth with plenty of board battles and chances on both sides. There was a bit of a scare as Puskar went down after being hit up high with the puck, but he remained on the bench, apparently little worse for wear.
With 2:25 left in the period, Phil Pietroniro was called for holding, the Grizzlies' penalty kill got down to business, and Kevin Boyle made several very good saves.
At the end of 20, Boyle and the Grizzlies were up 1-0, though the shots tipped in Adirondack's favour, 13-12.
The Grizzlies came out flying in the second, and Brandon McNally just missed the wide open net, but it was the Thunder who scored first, as both Robbie Donahoe and the puck went into the net behind Boyle at 1:22.
Utah went to the power play shortly thereafter, as James Henry hooked Ralph Cuddemi, but the Adirondack penalty kill proved up to the task against a lacklustre power play. To make things worse, right off the power play, the Thunder came the other way, James Henry's pass beat out a sprawling Grizzlies' defenceman, and Peter MacArthur deked out Boyle.
The game got heated after that, as Keegan Kanzig and Travis Howe dropped the gloves with 13:03 left in the second, and the crowd roared their approval as Howe saluted them on the way to the box. Adirondack was assessed an extra slashing penalty, so the Grizzlies went back to the power play. The first half of the power play was pretty abysmal, but the second half had some signs of life, though it ultimately came up empty.
With about eight minutes left to play, Adirondack got in behind the Grizzlies' defence, and Boyle made an outstanding save to keep the deficit to one goal.
For a couple of teams who almost never see each other, a fair bit of dislike has built up between them in the past two games, and the last five minutes saw two fights break out. the first between McNally and Phil Lane with 4:31 left, and the second between Mike Bergin and Kenton Helgesen, after Bergin took exception to a big hit of Helgesen's. As the Thunder also took a slashing penalty together with the first fight, the Grizzlies got a power play, but were unable to make anything of it yet again.
Pietroniro took his second penalty of the night with 18.2 left to go in the period, but the Grizzlies ended the period buzzing around the Adriondack net. After 40, shots were 27-18 for the Thunder, who also maintained the 2-1 lead.
Then the game got a little weird.
Half way through the third, Boyle made a big save, the whistle went, the puck flew out, and Adirondack scored, but the goal was waived off.
A few shifts later, the puck rang the crossbar and bounced out to the slot, where the Thunder put the puck back in the net, but it was waived off immediately thanks to a distinct kicking motion, so the Grizzlies dodged yet another bullet.
With about 1:20 left to play in the period, the Grizzlies pulled Boyle in favour of an extra skater and called their time out. Unfortunately, despite some good pressure, the Grizzlies were unable to capitalize, and they fell 2-1, outshot 32-25.
It was good to see Boyle return to something like the form he showed in his first two games of the season. As head coach Tim Branham said, "He's a competitor, and we saw when he first got here that he's going to be a top goalie in this league…his first two starts were excellent…obviously there were probably some goals he would have wanted back, and we kind of put him under some pressure too in those three games that he lost, which is tough for a rookie goaltender. But today he responded. He was solid. We left him out to dry on those two goals against, and he made some big saves tonight, that's for sure."
As to what they need to do tonight to come out on top in this three game series with Adirondack, Branham added "Guys just need to refocus, take a look in the mirror, figure out what they did right, what they did wrong, come back with a better effort. When the pucks aren't going your way, you just have to work that much harder to make sure they go your way, and you can't give up, can't give in."
The Grizzlies and the Thunder face each other again tonight at 7 PM for the last time until January, and will be wearing their specialty throw back Golden Eagles jerseys which will be auctioned off after the game with the proceeds going to the Angel's Hands Foundation.

Charles XIV John of Sweden

Olympus (sculpture)
Charles XIV & III John, also Carl John, Swedish and Norwegian: Karl Johan (26 January 1763 – 8 March 1844) was King of Sweden (as Charles XIV John) and King of Norway (as Charles III John) from 1818 until his death and served as de facto regent and head of state from 1810 to 1818. When he became Swedish royalty, he had also been the Sovereign Prince of Pontecorvo in Central-Southern Italy from 1806 until 1810 (title established on June 5, 1806 by Napoleon), but then stopped using that title.
He was born Jean Bernadotte and subsequently had acquired the full name of Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte by the time Carl also was added upon his Swedish adoption in 1810. He did not use Bernadotte in Sweden but founded the royal dynasty there by that name.
French by birth, Bernadotte served a long career in the French Army. He was appointed as a Marshal of France by Napoleon I, though the two had a turbulent relationship. His service to France ended in 1810, when he was elected the heir-presumptive to the Swedish throne because the Swedish royal family was dying out with King Charles XIII. Baron Carl Otto Mörner (22 May 1781 – 17 August 1868), a Swedish courtier and obscure member of the Riksdag of the Estates, advocated for the succession.

This Group Wants to Unite Bushwick's Longtimers With… Can We Say 'Hipsters'?
December 13, 2013 By Erica Martin
via Bridging Bushwick's Facebook page.
No discussion of the state of things in Bushwick would be complete without a philosophical brainstorming session on what a "hipster" is, and whether the label applies to anybody or everybody around. On Monday night, 22 people sat in folding chairs at The Living Gallery for a round-table discussion called Bridging Bushwick, an event meant to "erase stereotypes and negative energy that surround our community," according to its Facebook page. Two friendly cats, one black and one gray, wandered around distracting everybody.
One guy in his twenties, who had moved to Bushwick by way of Russia and whose longwinded explanation of his job can best be summarized as a putter-on of raves, announced that he wanted to separate himself from the hipster stereotype, then tried to verbalize its definition.
"It's those people," he said, "you know – apathetic, insular…"
"Rich," interjected Nyssa Frank, owner of The Living Gallery and co-coordinator the event.
"It's a cultural circle-jerk," said the young resident.
"That's not what I think of when I hear the word, or at least that's not what it's supposed to be," said Yazmin Colon, owner of Jazzabels Boutique and co-coordinator of Bridging Bushwick. "I think of someone young, free, who doesn't care what people think, and just wants to express themselves."
Colon and Frank launched Bridging Bushwick as a monthly discussion series in an attempt to open a line of communication between the young artists and college grads moving in droves to the neighborhood and longtime Bushwick residents, many of whom are Hispanic and working class. "Get to Know Your Neighbor" is their tagline.
"The goal was to start having people open up in a safe place so we can diffuse certain perceptions," Colon told Bedford + Bowery. "I think we just need to learn more about each other's backgrounds and cultures. I understand that not everyone is as welcoming or sociable as the next person, but that does not mean that we can't try to know each other."
The biggest hurdle for the project, according to Frank, was to attract Bushwick residents who wouldn't normally attend an event at the Living Gallery. "There are a lot of predispositions about this place," Frank told us before the event. "It's an art gallery, and a white girl owning it."
Frank handed out Spanish translations of the event flyer to local business owners, and Colon, who grew up in Brownsville and has lived in Bushwick since 2005, encouraged her network of friends to attend.
"I've known Nyssa for a while, we run a youth program together," said Colon, who had the original inspiration for the discussion series, "and I felt that this movement needed to be done with her. We are from different backgrounds and love the crap out of each other, so I felt me and her can set the example for this community."
The only Bushwick native present at the first meeting was Ronnie Diaz, who owns Express Yourself Barista Bar on Central and Jefferson.
"We opened the space specifically for new people in the neighborhood to meet us who were born and raised here," he said. "We put conference tables in on purpose, to force you to talk."
The night's discussion began with theories about the tension between cultures in the neighborhood ("a lot of people just have social disorders," somebody said), but things quickly turned more hands-on and political. Horror stories of fake eviction notices and tenants being priced out of apartments were exchanged, and plans for a rent strike half-jokingly bounced around. Colon explained that tenants can call 311 anonymously on their landlords, and Guadalupe Martinez, a fairly new Bushwick resident who is studying to become a real estate agent and an electrician in order to buy old houses and rewire them to be eco-friendly, explained the rules of legal rent withholding in New York state.
Several attendees were members of the community group Northwest Bushwick, which formed this September in opposition to the Rheingold rezoning, after Community Board 4 approved it in a controversial closed meeting. Northwest Bushwick organizer Bridget Blood spoke about using affordable housing as a tactic for staving off displacement. Bushwick's many manufacturing warehouses will continue to be rezoned into residential areas, she said, like what's happening now with the Rheingold development. Advocacy groups should be involved each time they do.
At the end of the night, Frank gave a homework assignment: "We want everyone to go and talk to somebody that they would normally never talk to," she said. "That guy at the bodega, who every time you get your coffee you know he wants to kill you for some reason? You should invite him personally to the next meeting."
Bridging Bushwick will have a second, more involved meeting on Dec. 30, complete with a potluck dinner (the invite asks attendees to "bring a dish that represents you & your culture") and performances by the children in two of Colon's and Frank's youth groups.
"We want 90-year-old women to come, and 14-year-old kids to come," Frank told Bedford + Bowery. "We want it to be for everybody."

Teaching about the Holocaust can be challenging. The following videos are helpful guides and refreshers to prepare for classroom instruction. Each video is roughly 15-minutes long and provides historical context, methodological and pedagogical suggestions, and questions for discussion.
Antisemitism existed long before Hitler's rise to power: Jews had been victims of widespread hatred and suspicion for centuries before. This video explains the historical context of racial antisemitic ideology and provides a framework to enable you to teach this subject.
This video examines the ghettos established throughout Nazi Europe, specifically the Lodz ghetto. It provides primary sources to highlight individual experiences during this period, and helps you reinforce the Jews' struggle to maintain their human dignity despite overcrowding, starvation, disease, and grief.
This video examines the complexities of teaching about the "Final Solution," the systematic mass murder of six million European Jews. The video focuses on survivors' stories to help you present the subject through a human lens instead of relying on dry statistics, and promotes empathy to enable you to explore the struggle for life in the shadow of death.
A common question when studying about the Holocaust is, "Why didn't the Jews resist?" But they did. This video introduces different forms and types of Jewish resistance, spiritual and armed, to enable you to present them to students with substance and clarity.
The liberation of concentration camps by the US Army at the end of WWII is an excellent entry point for US history teachers into the study of the Holocaust. This video interweaves liberators' and Jewish survivors' testimonies and other primary sources, helping you present their personal stories to your students. Great care has been taken not to include graphic visuals.
This video introduces effective approaches to help guide you in making instructional decisions, in order to increase students' knowledge of the history of the Holocaust, and their understanding of its ongoing relevance to their lives and current society.

06 September 2010; Oban, Scotland.
September 14, 2010 / Captain Albert / 0 Comments
I was not a very happy captain when I reviewed the weather for Oban. The wind, which was blowing force 5 to 7 in Peel, was only predicted to intensify and that might have grave consequences for the call at this port as it was an anchorage call. Also by coming to the Scottish Isles it left me we very little "plan B's" as an alternative as there is not much there that works here with the prevailing winds. My only hope was that I could anchor close enough under the lee of the land to ensure a safe tender service. At Oban we were assigned the outer anchorage, about a 10-minute tender distance away from the dock. There is an inner anchorage but the Prinsendam is really too big for the area as the ship would not be able to swing freely around the anchor on the turning tide. Going in and drifting on the engines would be an option but then the ship would effectively block the harbour from the ferries coming and leaving. Oban is the main hub for the local ferries to the outlying islands and the ferries come and go about every two hours. Sitting with the ship right in the way, would certainly have raised the Harbourmaster's blood pressure and that is something one has to avoid at all times. So off we went and hoped for the best.
When we arrived we did have a wind force 8 to 9 blowing but by the time we came to the anchorage location, there were no waves or swell as the wind was almost easterly. Wind force 9 is gale force winds but the tenders have no problems coping with the wind, it is the waves and the subsequent bouncing of the craft that is the challenge. The free surface area for the wind to blow over was not that much and thus there were just wind ripples on the water. The chief officer could safely lower all his tenders and get the show on the road. I dropped the hook 2000 feet away from Maiden Island and all was well in the world. At least; as far as the tender service was concerned. The dock in the harbour was a sloping ramp and it was even wheel chair and scooter friendly. When the tide went up, the tenders just dock a little bit further in to keep the ramp height in line with the tender door opening.
I was having fun on the bridge for most of the day as the holding ground for the anchor was not that good, so we started to drag. The sea bottom was made up of thick grey clay that normally holds very well, but it was interspersed with shells and they can really break up the solid constitution of a good holding ground. So if there is too much strain coming on the anchor it can break out more easily as the shells form a sort of "crack" in the compactness of the clay. Then, because it is clay, the anchor will slither over the bottom and will only dig in again and hold after some distance has been covered. And where the anchor goes, the ship follows. Not much to worry about in principle as the wind would push the ship to open water; otherwise I would have never anchored there. Still being pushed to open waters, would increase the tender distance and the chance for the wind to create waves as it was now covering a larger water surface. So I had to stay as close behind Maiden Island as possible.
That meant re-anchoring. First with the same anchor and more chain, then with two anchors and eventually with one anchor, bow thrusters and engines, as the strong wind provided to be too much for the holding ground. By using anchor and thrusters, I was able to keep the strain enough off the strain sot we did not drag and provided a steady location for our tender service. However the guests had a good day, as it was dry and sometimes even a bit sunny. Oban is a very nice town, with lots to see do and drink. The latter as there are a number of distilleries in the area.
By 1700 hrs. we had all our guests back onboard and we pulled up the anchor for the last time. As luck would have it, we picked up a steel cable. Also in Oban the navy had been very active in the 2nd world war and had left a few reminders behind of those days. One of those reminders had nicely wrapped itself around the flukes of the anchor. Time for the Chief Officer to go fishing. It took about 90 minutes of lifting with a hook and lowering the anchor and then the loops came off and the steel cable slid back to the bottom of the Lorne as the area is called. We could not get the end of the cable on deck, otherwise we would have winched it in. It would have brought a nice bit of money into the scrap-steel-fund that we have for the crew.
Because we were now delayed, I had to take the outside route to the next port of call.
I was planning to take the inside route, to go sightseeing, but it had some very narrow passages that I was not willing to take during the dark hours and there would not be anything to see anyway.
Our next of call is Portree of the East side of the Isle of Skye. A very sheltered port when the wind is coming from the West. I guess it is coming from the East and it will still be blowing wind force 8 to 9. So it is going to be very interesting.

Traffic information centres could be kept open if anybody is willing to run them
The closure-threatened travel information centre at Preston bus station is one of four across Lancashire which could remain open.
Paul Faulkner
Four closure-threatened transport information centres in Lancashire could remain open if the county council can agree a deal with groups interested in running them.
The hubs at Preston bus station, Carnforth railway station and Clitheroe and Nelson interchanges were all due to close after their budgets were cut earlier this year.
Two petitions were submitted to Lancashire County Council protesting at the planned closure of the information centre at Clitheroe interchange.
But a public consultation revealed "considerable objection" to the proposal, according to papers presented to a meeting of the authority's cabinet.
Members agreed that the centres should now stay open while council officials explore the possibility of handing them to organisations which have expressed an interest in taking over the services.
Keith Iddon, Lancashire County Council's Member for Transport, told the meeting: "'I'm very hopeful that we [will] be able to keep the centres open at no extra cost to the council - which would be very good for everybody."
Almost 900 people responded to the consultation and over 90 percent were opposed to the planned closures.
Two thirds of respondents said they would travel less frequently than they do now if the centres were no longer available.
The council's own assessment of the plan concluded it would have "a disproportionate adverse impact" on vulnerable groups.
"[It] may make travel by public transport more difficult for older people and for people with disabilities, because other sources of information and tickets are less understandable," the report noted.
"Older and disabled people are less likely to use digital alternatives to obtain travel information or tickets," it added.
The original proposal would have saved the authority £156,000 per year by 2019/20. Members were told that an assessment period to decide whether to offer the centres to other operators would delay the full savings for a further year.
Labour opposition leader, Azhar Ali, welcomed the move and asked that any takeover proposals made by people who work at the centres be considered.
Leader of the Conservative-run authority, Geoff Driver, said of the overall plan: "We're quite happy to do this; it is the right way to proceed."
A final decision on the future of the travel centres will be taken by cabinet when a report into the expressions of interest is presented at a later date.

Coachella is known for its combination of the hottest acts of current music culture paired with the most talented musicians in the emerging-mainstream. This year the festival has also included one of electronic music's pioneers, Jean-Michel Jarre, who is set to make his U.S. festival debut at the Indio, California event. Jarre will be performing his 'Electronica' show, which he previously performed in North America on a nine-stop tour in 2017.
The French producer personally designed the impressive stage show and is well known for his prodigious ability to bring his productions to life in a live setting. Jarre will be performing at four North American shows around his festival performances, where he will be showcasing music from his two-part LP ELECTRONICA and most recent release OXYGENE 3, alongside classic material from milestone albums such as Oxygene and Equinoxe.
Jarre is set to perform on both Fridays of Coachella 2018.

Air Vice-Marshal Sir Charles Warburton Meredith  (23 August 1896 – 19 April 1977) was a South African air force pilot, and Air Officer Commanding of the Rhodesian Air Training Group during the Second World War.

Early life and family
Meredith was born in Wynberg, Cape Town and attended Wynberg Boys' High School. He was an electrical engineering student with South African Railways before becoming a cadet at RAF Staff College, Andover and was then commissioned as Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps (Military Wing) in October 1917. He was promoted to Flying Officer in February 1918.

After the First World War, in 1924, he joined the South African Air Force, having been recruited by Major Allister Miller, and in 1937 was appointed Commanding Officer of the Aircraft and Artillery Depot.

He was appointed Director of Civil Aviation in Southern Rhodesia in 1939.

Meredith was commissioned Air Commodore in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on 21 March 1940 for the duration of the hostilities. He was promoted to Air Vice-Marshal during the War.

Rhodesian Air Training Group
Meredith was Air Officer Commanding of the Rhodesian Air Training Group, part of the Empire Air Training Scheme. Sir Archibald Sinclair, the British Secretary of State for Air, praised the excellent quality of the reinforcements coming to the RAF from the RATG.

Meredith expressed in 1943 that the Air Training Group would expand and that the expansion would be beneficial after the war for aeronautical training.

Meredith is the author of an article 'The Rhodesian Air Training Group 1940-1945' in a Rhodesian historical journal, published in July 1973

Honours
Meredith was awarded the Air Force Cross in June 1919.

He was appointed Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in July 1941; Grand Commander of the Royal Order of the Phoenix (with swords) in 1943; and Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (Military Division) in June 1943.

This morning we visited the San Salvador Volcano in El Salvador. It is easily accessible - most of the way by car, and then a 20 to 45 minute walk up steep stairs depending on which path you take. The day was hazy and overcast, which didn't allow for nice clear views.
The crater, which gives it the present name (Boquerón means "big mouth" in Spanish) is 1.5 km in diameter and 500m deep. It is huge. Within the crater around the upper walls, crops are cultivated by the locals who live on the volcano.
A photo can never convey the immense size of the hollow below us. Standing on a lookout area, I fired off 7 shots to turn into a Panorama. I used Affinity Photo on my iPad Air to stitch the pano together. It matched things up well. The second image of the dome at the bottom of the crater was taken with an equivalent 300mm lens.
If this were to go off there'd be a bloody nuclear winter, for sure!
Due to this close proximity to San Salvador (2-1/2 million people), any geological activity of the volcano, whether eruptive or not, has the potential to result in catastrophic destruction and death to the city.
The most recent eruption in 1917 caused a flank eruption on the volcano along the N40W fissure. During this eruption, the crater lake inside the Boqueron evaporated and a cinder cone appeared, christened 'Boqueroncito'.
How large was the lake before it "vanished"?
You have taken an amazing photo. Greatly appreciated your work.
Is that in piled up rocks?
Asher literally it means "God Blesses", not directed at anyone special.
"Bendiga" would be a full statement to believers!
That's a lot of rocks to move!
I wonder how that's allowed on a national monument!
Is anyone allowed to leave messages? Here, National Park Rangers would haul the rocks away or use old pictures to restore the site!
I agree it's an unfortunate desecration of a natural site but no surprise in a third world Latin American country. "National Monuments" are often treated quite differently below and beyond the US border. Once while traveling in the Pinacate Biosphere Reseve in Mexico I came upon an obvious footpath running North /South through the desert marked occasionally with stones alongside. There were no "Park Service improvements" anywhere to be seen anywhere for miles around. I learned later that the trail was on the order of 500 years old (nothing ages in the desert) and used by Indians coming south from what is now Arizona to trade for salt on the coast of the Sea of Cortez. Were the trail in the US it would have a wheelchair accessible paved parallel access path or road with and descriptive signs every ten meters. I was very pleased to be able to enjoy the loneliness and privacy at the site.
One thing I learned from Mike Spinak, is not to disturb nature. He wanted me to ban a fellow for taking photographs of bears too close. The consequence is the bear then gets visits from naive photographers and someone gets killed so the park service has to kill the bear, and that might be a mother!
So Mike insists that such pioneering, "close to the wild" photographers are disgusting people!!
Anyway, Mike takes his shoes off on occasions when approaching rarely blooming wild flora so as not to damage a thing.
After he leaves, he rearranged the brush and leaves so it's as before he arrived and never even breaks a twig or leaves a wrapping as that would a clue to others to discover the rare flora's secret location!
Yes that is a saying that Christians like to use. As I mentioned, the local people farm the land on the slopes inside the volcano.
I have no idea what was going on in that crater - it is a massive 1 1/2 KM across and so deep you can barely see the dome at the bottom - definitely not the words. We were up on the rim.

'Evil eyed' fish caught off Newfoundland inspires intrigue, disgust
HALIFAX- For a brief moment, Nova Scotia fisherman Scott Tanner thought he might have a case of cabin fever when he spotted a fish with glowing, green eyes in his trawler's net.
SaltWire Network | Posted: March 8, 2016, midnight | Updated: Oct. 2, 2017, 11:37 a.m. | 3 Min Read
A fish caught by Nova Scotia fisherman Scott Tanner is shown in a handout photo. For a brief moment, Tanner thought he might have a case of cabin fever when he spotted a fish with glowing, green eyes in his trawler's net. A curator of zoology at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, offered a more scientific-based explanation: the bug-eyed creature appears to be a knifenose chimera — one of three chimera species in North Atlantic waters.
The 23-year-old Lunenburg man was about a month into a 40-day commercial fishing trip for cod and redfish off Newfoundland and Labrador's Grand Banks when the mysterious creature turned up, shocking even veteran fishermen on board.
"It stood out right away with the green eyes," said Tanner, who snapped photos of the dead fish and posted them on Facebook. "Everybody was pretty amazed by it. The older guys, even, said they'd never seen one before."
With its luminous peepers, long tail, sword-like nose and fins resembling wings, the fish netted last month has caught both the intrigue and disgust of the Internet.
"What the hell is this?" blared a headline on the Daily Star, a U.K. tabloid that described the catch as a "winged fish with evil eyes" and "a nose like a wizard's hat."
There were more than 700 comments Tuesday posted under an image of the alien-like fish on the popular social media site Reddit.
"Put it back, the mothership is bound to come looking for it," read one post.
Someone else said the creature looked like something that was fished "straight out of my nightmares."
Andrew Hebda, curator of zoology at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, offered a more scientific-based explanation: the bug-eyed creature appears to be a knifenose chimera — one of three chimera species in North Atlantic waters.
"It's a kind of neat-looking thing," he said. "The eyes are quite striking."
In Greek monster mythology, the chimera is described as a grotesque mashup between a lion, a goat and a snake that spews fire.
But in reality, Hebdra said chimeras are a relatively primitive, cartilaginous fish related to sharks. Their retinas are designed to seek out food in extremely low light on the sea floor. Once exposed to light, their large eyes appear to glow.
In this case, the chimera's eyes were likely bulging out because of how fast the fish was pulled out of the ocean.
Tanner said the sudden change in pressure could also explain why the fish was dead when it was found in the net. After taking a few photos, he said the chimera, which he estimates weighed between five and 10 pounds, was tossed back into the ocean.
It's not unusual for unknown creatures to land in the net, but Tanner said the chimera ranks among the "coolest" he's ever seen — if not the most unsettling.
"I'm not sure if it even had teeth," he said. "I didn't really look. I didn't stick my hands around there too much."
Hebda said it's not surprising the fishermen were stumped by the fish, given that chimeras are rarely seen or caught. Also known as "rat fish," they typically live between 2,000 and 3,000 metres down into the ocean, trolling along the sea floor looking for crustaceans and worms to eat.
Chimeras are edible, Hebda noted, though he'd prefer to have one in the museum's collection instead of on his dinner plate.
Tanner agreed.
"I definitely wouldn't think about eating it."

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Not caring a lick or an iota for action/sci-fi books and movies—no shade, babies, it's just not our cup of entertainment tea—Your Mama has to admit when we first heard last week from from a Kiwi named Kiki that actor Karl Urban was selling his rather homey house in Auckland (New Zealand) we were like, "Who the hell is that?"
Natch, we fired up our trusty laptop computer and discovered Mister Urban, a well-built brunette with somewhat delicate facial features whose big break came on the New Zealand soap story Shortland Street, has successfully crossed over from the Australian/New Zealand movie scene to the Hollywood big time. In addition to scads and scores of movies and tee-vee shows Down Under, he's appeared in a substantial number Hollywood-made sci-fi and action nuggets that include Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Bourne Supremacy, Star Trek, and Xena: Warrior Princess. His Internet Movie Data Base resume shows beaver-busy Mister Urban has hefty handful of film projects in the hopper or in production that include a sci-fi thriller with Vin Diesel (Untitled Chronicles of Riddick Sequel) and still-to-be-titled sequel for Star Trek with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
Your Mama doesn't know how to look up public property records in New Zealand so we really can't say when Mister Urban and his Missus bought the gated residence located in the upscale Auckland enclave of Herne Bay or how much dinero they forked over to buy it. We also don't know, as it turns out, at what price the property is listed. That's because current listing information does not indicate a specific asking price but does show that unless the property sells before, it will be sold by auction on the 4th of April. A recent report in the local papers shows the house has a "capital value" of $1,410,000 (NZ), an amount that converts to $1,150,450 (US).
We are not familiar with the specifics way of the New Zealand real estate business so we haven't a clue what "capital value" is and we also can't say if this auction business is customary for the region. In the U.S., a property auction often reeks of desperation (and/or foreclosure) but iffin we were the betting type—and we're not—we'd wager both our long-bodied bitches Linda and Beverly that the scheduled auction for Mister (and Missus) Urban's digs in Auckland are absolutely not an indication of an over-squeezed pocketbook.
Anyhoodles poodles, listing information does reveal the ship-shape, two-story shingled cottage measures 281 square meters and includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A quick consult with our conversion contraption allows all us Americanos not on the metric system to understand 281 square meters is the exact equivalent of 3,025.66 square feet.
A bowling alley-length entrance hall with wood beamed ceiling and wood floors stretches clear through to the back of the house where it opens through French doors to a sizable wood deck that extends the first floor living areas into the tropically-landscaped and high-hedged back yard. Groovy, geometric-minded light fixtures splash a honeycomb-like pattern on the walls that, by our meaningless opinion, complements the colorfully graphic area rugs but competes uncomfortably with the numerous wall-hanging artworks.
The wood floors continue into the not-very-formal "formal" living room with fireplace and high wood beamed ceiling. The furnishings are eclectic and include linen slip-covered and leather sofas, an iconic Isamu Noguchi coffee table, a rug that looks like it was inspired by something our Grandma T-T tatted, and a variety of artworks on the walls including one over the fireplace ringed with a tangerine-colored frame that has Your Mama drooling with envy...over the frame, not the painting.
The adjacent dining area has full-wall built-in buffet with turquoise and orange painted accents and French doors open the dining area to the back deck. The dining area is completely open to the compact but well-equipped kitchen with free-standing center work island not particularly fancy stainless steel appliances. One entire wall of the kitchen is covered in snap shots and other family ephemera, a warm and fuzzy design idea the children can inexpensively and easily do in their own homes.
Upstairs a second sitting room (lit with the same geometrically-minded lights as in the entrance hall) opens to a deep covered porch with glistening bay views over the trees and roof tops of the surrounding homes.
Obviously we're not apprised of Mister Urban's specific real estate plans but eh told the local press he has no plans to relocated to Tinseltown and, in fact, has definite plans to stay in Herne Bay 'hood.

Kia Ora (Maori for hello) from NZ> If you want to look up property details, go to qv.co.nz - you can pay but browse several reports. "Capital value" is the amount of the property for council tax purposes. Auction is a popular way to sell a property as it may go for well over its capital value. He lives in a very cool area called Herne Bay, just west of the City and home to many beautiful properties.

New Zealand, like Australia, cottoned onto the loony idea many moons ago of selling all [decent] properties at auction - because as the "agents" would like you to believe, you get a better sale price as a result. PAH ! It's nothing other than a well used scam by local REA's to charge the seller for fees, web listings, advertising costs and the like [where in most other normal countries these costs are the agents, not the sellers].
One fine example: once when viewing a Kohimarama [next to Herne Bay] waterfront property, the long legged bweetch of a part time housewife/part time agent said to me when I asked what the price was, that she couldn't say, as the seller was seeking buyer interest. Asking the agent again, if perhaps she could give me an idea of expected price, she simply batted a botoxed eyelid and said, you tell me how much you have and I will tell you if you can afford it. I could have slapped the beetch, but simply replied, if this were my house and you were the agent, I would sack you on the spot.
I then left NZ and bought in victorian terrace house in London.
Poor little NZ'ers, will always be wrapped up in their provinciality and small minded thinking. And as 99.9% of them are in debt beyond their eyeballs, the sh*t has yet to hit the fan, and when it will Mr Urban's home and like properties will come back in at under 500,000 NZ$ which is really all they're worth on an international scale.
And before I get flamed by any incensed and defensive NZ readers...I lived in NZ for many years - so me speaketh from experience.

Wow lot's of readers from NZ. Kohimarama is no where near Herne Bay.

Roy Curry of the Hamilton Co. Ramblers Featured in the TFP – Barking Legs Theater • Chattanooga, Tenn.
I hate that the term local often is taken to mean lesser. The Hamilton County Ramblers, who will be having a CD release party at the Legs on Sunday, October 11, can hold their own on any bluegrass stage, anywhere. Barry Courter of the Times Free Press, has done the band justice in this piece, which focuses on guitarist extraordinaire, Roy Curry. Showtime Sunday is 3 pm, and it kicks off a monthly, Sunday matinee collaboration between CoPAC and Forever Bluegrass.
Roy Curry had pretty much retired from his job with the city as well as from the public side of playing music when he hooked up with James Kee and Josh Hixson. Both are about half his age and full of energy and excitement when it comes to playing bluegrass music.
"I have a pair of Tony Lama boots I got when I was playing with The Forester Sisters that are older than they are," Curry says.
But their passion for the music has lit a new flame under him, Curry says. The three are members of the Hamilton County Ramblers along with John Boulware and Jim Pankey. The group will have a CD release party Sunday, Oct. 11, at Barking Legs Theater.
Curry has been playing since he was 14 and is a national flatpicking champion several times over. He admits to losing a little of the passion for playing in recent years, but that's all changed thanks to Kee and Hixson.
"I was a little bummed out, and they got me fired up to go back and play," he says. Band rehearsals also got his chops back up to par as well.
Curry says the big prize was a Wayne Henderson-made guitar worth quite a bit of money. That makes 24 guitars Curry has won over the years. He says this one is the best and likely his last.
Curry says the band does the "bluegrass like I grew up with," with nods to Flatt & Scruggs, Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe. They also do a version of James Taylor's "Copperline" that Curry especially likes.
"I'm real proud of what we do," he says.
The self-titled CD was recorded in Nashville and "I've never been prouder of anything I've been involved with. It's very representative of what we sound like.


Add all ingredients to mixer bowl, blend for 30 sec/speed 9/MC on. Scrape bowl down and repeat 2-3 times until smooth.
Divide into 4 portions and freeze in snap lock bags.
At step 1 add on extra processing time until paste is smooth.
I' enjoy the green curry paste and am about to give this one a go. Just wondering why the spice seeds are not pre-roasted in this recipe before blending? Thanks so much for so many great recipes!
I just made four portions and froze them for later use. Could any of you please share a curry recipe in which you use this paste? It smelled amazing and I do not want to waste it. My guess is diced chicken, some coconut milk or Cream, but how long and when to add the paste etc?Thanks heaps!!
The recipe for the paste is amazing with such authentic flavours, the curry was superb! Thank you Nik for continuing to wow us with your recipes! I'm so happy I can make this from scratch, and have three more batches in the freezer for more!!
Hi – wondering if you have any suggestions for a vegetarian shrimp paste substitute?
I'm struggling to find dried whole chillies…. we live in the hunter valley and don't have many Asian grocers locally. Would fresh still be suitable?
These are usually in the spice section of Coles and woo lies too.
My local Coles & Woolworths don't seem to stock whole dried chilli – should I just oven roast some myself for the same flavour?
I didn't even read the recipe properly so I used fresh chillies, I haven't made it before to comapre with dried chillies but the curry was amazing it had just the right hotness for me and I would do it with fresh chillies again next time.
If your in the Maitland / greenhills area there is an Indian / Asian grocer near the rta at greenhills. Sun supermarket 11/4 Garnett road east Maitland. He also sells the babas curry powder.
Made this today, added more chilies as I like my curry HOT! Was so easy to make and tastes amazing in the curry. Froze three portions all ready for the upcoming few weeks for dinner.
Hello. I was just wondering how long this would last in the fridge and/or freezer?
Will last weeks in the fridge with the salt and oil. As for freezer – MONTHS!

"Instead of writing out a huge long descriptive text answer, we show rather than tell."
Founded in Seattle, Washington in 2013, Outreach is the enterprise communication platform for sales teams and has experienced 3x growth YoY in the last 2 years. They went from just a handful of employees to now over 200 and $60 million from DFJ, Trinity, Floodgate, Four Rivers Group, Mayfield, and Microsoft.
Their Technical Support team focuses its efforts on tracking bugs and getting them fixed. The challenge was to find a well-oiled process that would speed up bug reporting, troubleshooting and thus empower their Product and Engineering teams.
During the 'Steps to Reproduction', they are asked to record a video of their screen to describe the issue. In case of any console errors, they also need to include CloudApp screenshots of those console errors.
After logging these issues in Zendesk, they will also push them to JIRA with steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and a required CloudApp video of the issue in action (if applicable). Engineers will take these issues in JIRA and prioritize them accordingly. When the Engineering team needs more information, Support Reps will send additional CloudApp video or screenshots to clarify the situation.
These screen recordings from the Technical Support team also facilitate discussion with customers experiencing technical issues. It's hard to describe an issue without the correct vocabulary. Using video made it faster and less frustrating for both sides.
Using CloudApp makes bug reporting faster and easier. It takes only a few seconds to record their 'Steps to Reproduction' and it avoids any miscommunication. This clarity is also appreciated with their customers. In some cases sending quick and easy video recording prevents Outreach's support reps from having to hop on a call to explain something. It saves the team a lot of time and allows them to work on more strategical tasks.

Жиль Маршан (; род. 18 июня 1963, Марсель, Франция) — французский сценарист и режиссёр.

Биография
Жиль Маршан родился 18 июня 1963 в Марселе, Франция. Образование получил в парижском Институте кинематографических исследований (IDHEC, сейчас «La femis»), где познакомился Домиником Моллем, Тома Бардин и Лораном Канте, с которыми он в дальнейшем активно сотрудничал.

Первые шаги в кино Жиль Маршан начинал как автор музыки для короткометражного фильма Тома Бардина «Кэролайн и ее друзья». В 1988 году начал карьеру сценариста с дебютного телевизионного фильма Лорана Канте «Кровопийцы» (), в котором также сыграл небольшую роль. В этот же период дебютировал как режиссер, поставив несколько короткометражных лент.

В 2000 году Маршан выступил соавтором сценария (с режиссером Домиником Моллем) фильма «Гарри — друг, который желает вам добра», который боролся за «Золотую пальмовую ветвь» 53-го Международного кинофестиваля в Каннах, а Маршан (с Д. Моллем) в 2001 году номинировался за лучший сценарий на главную французскую кинопремию «Сезар».

Первой полнометражной режиссерской работой Жиля Маршана стал триллер «Кто убил Бэмби?», Вышедший на экраны в 2003 году и попал в отбор в официальную программу Каннского кинофестиваля 2003 года. В 2010 году Маршан срежиссировал свой второй фильм — психологический триллер «Чёрные небеса» с Грегуаром Лепренс-Ренге, Луизой Бургуан, Мельвиль Пупо и Полин Этьен в главных ролях. Эта лента, как и первый фильм режиссера, была также представлена в официальном отборе на Каннском кинофестивале 2010 года.

> Development at Broomielaw could mean 2000 new jobs
Development at Broomielaw could mean 2000 new jobs
A £100m waterfront development at the Broomielaw will create up to 2000 new jobs in the heart of Glasgow's financial district.
Glasgow's waterfront is set for another multi-million-pound development which will bring up to 2000 new jobs, offices, shops and luxury flats to the city's Broomielaw.
Property investors have been given the go-ahead for a £100million development in Glasgow's International Financial Services District - an area known as "Wall Street on the Clyde" .
The blueprint by leading investors Marlebone comes as a double boost for IFSD chiefs, following news last month of plans for Central Quay.
Now Marlebone has been given planning approval by the city council to build 250,000sqft of quality office accommodation, 20,000sqft of retail units, and 25 luxury apartments in Washington Street, just of the Broomielaw.
Officials say that as well as creating hundreds of jobs, the move could also bring other construction schemes to the riverside area.
Marlebone's marketing director Patsy Hyslop said: "Approval by the planning committee means we can now get to work on developing the next stage of our proposals and together with Scottish Enterprise and Glasgow City Council we believe we can secure major plc companies and hotels willing to invest in the city.
"We are already in negotiations with some major employers who are very interested in this site and we look forward to starting work to deliver this project for the people of Glasgow.

Q: Chrome not picking up margins for centering, works in safari and firefox I'm having an issue with Google Chrome not picking up a margin-left and margin-right to center a span in my menuheader. I searched, but I can't seem to find a working solution. It's working fine in Safari and Firefox. Can someone explain or point me in the correct direction ? I'm hoping for a solution without css hacks.
The menu is a horizontal list with 5 elements, the 3th elements is the one where I will place the logo and the title. I'm placing all three into a span and I give the span with the logo a bg image and a text-indent. The span's with the title's are showing perfectly fine in all browsers, the span with the logo only showing fine in safari en firefox, not in chrome.
I load a normalize.css before I load my stylesheet.

  text-decoration: none;
  border: 0;
  padding : 0;
  background : url('../images/logo.png');
  background-size: 100px 100px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
}

By adding left: 50% and margin-left: -10% which is half of the width: 20% you will get it centered.
Here is a JSFIDDLE to show the solution minus the text-indent: -9999px; to show its centered.
Hope that helps.

A: After rereading my question when posted to stackoverflow, I figured it out !
I removed the logo span, and I added the background to the main-nav-home div and everything is showing perfect now.
Thanks anyhow ! :-)
SOLVED !
