Taking Care of Children During COVID
Hibiscus Children's Center Announces New St. Lucie County Prevention Collaboration
Karin Torsiello, Behavior Basics President, Jackie Lindgren, SFC Family Advocate, and Caroline Vinyard, Hibiscus COO at a Hibiscus Booth to spread awareness about child abuse prevention in St. Lucie County.
St. Lucie County – Hibiscus Children's Center is excited to announce a new prevention program serving St. Lucie County families. SafeCare is a collaborative partnership between Hibiscus Children's Center and Behavior Basics, Inc. The program is focused on providing parenting education through home visits by "Parenting Coaches". SafeCare is funded, in part, by Children's Services Council of St. Lucie County and Communities Connected for Kids.
"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults" (by Frederick Douglas). The SafeCare Program is doing just that for our community's children. Preventing child abuse and helping children and youth thrive while we strengthen families is at the core of a strong and vibrant community. SafeCare is an evidenced-based training program for parents who are at-risk or have been reported for child abuse and neglect. Services are targeted to families that have one or more risk factors, including families with substance abuse, domestic violence issues, teen parents, parents of special needs children, single parents and low-income families. The program has been successfully implemented in other parts of the country and has been effective for families struggling with these issues, many of which can increase the risk of child abuse and neglect. In-home Parent Coaches, Deidra Bass and Jean Snyder, will work with families to increase parental knowledge and skills related to the four essential program components: parent-infant interactions, parent-child interactions, home safety and child health.
Hibiscus Children's Center is excited to collaborate with Behavior Basics, Inc. Their mission is to sustainably improve the quality of life for clients and their families through education, training and ongoing services. Together, we are working to prevent child abuse and strengthen our families and community.
If you would like more information about Hibiscus Children's Center, please visit us at HibiscusChildrensCenter.org. For SafeCare referrals, please contact Behavior Basics, Inc. at (772) 463-0444 or email: info@behaviorbasicsinc.com or visit the website: behaviorbasicsinc.com

Kate Aumonier is a London based singer-songwriter born in Sussex, England. Her debut album was released in 2004 entitled 'Here I am'.

Biography
As a former drama school student, she was talent spotted by veteran UK producer Glyn Johns, a friend of Aumonier's father at the age of 17. Johns was most impressed by her vocal talents and recommended that she travel to Los Angeles and team up with his son Ethan, also a well known producer. Johns found Aumonier session work on Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt's Grammy-nominated duo album, Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions. In 2000, Aumonier returned to the UK where she began a residency at "The Kashmire Klub", one of London's up-and-coming venues. She opened for A-ha at the Royal Albert Hall and toured the country. Aumonier then teamed up with fellow songwriter Tim Lind and began on writing material for a planned solo project. This later moved closer to fruition when she signed a recording contract with the "When!" offshoot of Sanctuary Records. The four-track Fall From Grace EP was released at the end of 2003 and overall attracted good reviews with attention being paid to her raw vocal talent and her ability to craft sumptuous, melodic pop rock songs. All of the tracks from the EP were included on her debut album "Here I Am", which was released in July 2004. In 2005 she got a slot on Sunday at the Isle of Wight Festival.

Aumonier is currently singing with Ben Parker in a group called Chains.

As one of the longest droughts on record continues, examiners are feeling the heat after an administrative meltdown leaves hundreds of students in Limburg facing a miserable summer. The government admits that new migrants have been left high and dry by the integration process, employees are being burned by the rise of casual labour and Max Verstappen is on fire in the Austrian Grand Prix. In the discussion Paul and Molly look back at how Mark Rutte hot-footed it from Brussels to Washington to the Catshuis as he attempted to fix all the world's major problems, including Donald Trump, by Tuesday lunchtime. And spare a thought for the delivery drivers who broke down in a sweltering van with no way out and a huge pile of money for company.

Please highlight the recent developments in the Indian auto LPG market.
500+ cities in the country are covered with around 1100 auto LPG filling stations. More than half of these are owned by Public Sector through IOC, HPC, BPC.In the private sector, companies like Reliance, Total Oil, Aegis, and SHV - SuperGas have taken up lead in setting up these stations.About 25 lakh vehicles in the country are estimated to be running on LPG today. Most of these vehicles are aftermarket conversions with less than 20 % accounting for OEM Models.
Auto LPG for the past several years has been about 40% of the price of petrol.While this made it significant cheaper than petrol, yet its running cost was higher than that of diesel. However with effect from October 1, 2016, the PSUs radically cut down the pricing of auto LPG to around 50% of the price of petrol. This effectively made it not just 50 % cheaper than petrol but cheaper than diesel as well in terms of running costs and comparable to CNG.
For a city like Lucknow, the running cost of petrol vehicle (with an estimated mileage of 14.3km/ litre), comes out to be Rs. 5.11 per km, for diesel vehicle, running cost comes out to be Rs. 3.45 per km, for CNG vehicle, the running cost comes out to be Rs. 2.69 per km, whereas, for an LPG vehicle it is even cheaper and comes out to be Rs. 2.58 per km.
On account of this, industry has already seen an increase in the sales volumes. Industry-wide monthly sales jumped from around 26 thousand tonnes in the month of October 2016 to over 30 thousand tonnes in December 2016, thus registering a 16% growth. Owing to these radical changes, industry is expected to close this fiscal year with an overall growth of more than 4% over the last year.
How auto LPG is helping as a step- forward to a cleaner transport fuel and helping in tackling pollution?
Auto LPG is the world's 3rd most selling automotive fuel after petrol and diesel. More than 26 Million vehicles run on auto LPG globally, consuming more than 26 million tonnes of LPG.Auto LPG is a low hanging fruit with extremely clean emissions. LPG has 22 percent lower CO2 than petrol, 96 percent lesser NOx than diesel and 68 percent lesser than petrol, and PM - 120 times lower emission than diesel.
It also provides tremendous opportunity to avoid usage of high polluting carcinogenic diesel-fuelled cars for personal and public transport.That Auto LPG has helped various Governments globally to tackle air quality issues and emerges from the fact that several similar counties like Turkey and Korea are one of the biggest users of LPG globally. It is notable to mention here that more than 40% of the four wheeler vehicle cars in Turkey run on LPG.
It is a low hanging fruit in terms of the fact that all other similar cleaner fuels need huge amount of capital investment as well as a gestation period running into several years to build pipeline and related infrastructure, whereas an Auto LPG station can be set up in as quickly as over a 60 to 90 day period, thus providing an immediate relief and impacting urban air quality.
In the wake of rising prices of petroleum, what is the future of auto LPG as the future fuel of India?
On account of the massive shale gas outputs coming from the US, LPG market globally has seen a major growth. LPG prices have come down from being at around $1200/tonne to about $500/ tonne.
With the shale impact expected to continue, LPG prices are expected to remain at lower levels in the foreseeable future.
India is projected to be one of the biggest car markets in India in future. Please provide suggestions on reducing vehicular pollution in India. What are the advantages of auto LPG as a fuel in comparison to others like biofuels and upgraded emission norms like BS-IV?
India needs to adopt the right mix of cleaner fuels. While bio fuels look great on paper, yet availability of the same shall always remain a challenge particularly on account of India's efforts to ensure availability of food for masses at lower prices. Any increase in demand of bio fuel shall undoubtedly impact prices.
Meanwhile in terms of the much talked Electric vehicles, Government needs to realise and consider the total well-to-wheel emissions, particularly for a country like India which produces most of its electricity from coal-based power plants. Electric vehicle may ultimately be more pollutant than gaseous fuel.To adopt any fuel strategy the government really needs to formulate a judicious mix of all cleaner fuel available.LPG offers one such solution which is available immediately.
What are the key issues being faced by the auto LPG industry in India? What are your suggestions to address the same?
One of the key issues is differential pricing on various grades of LPG, which results in diversion on subsidized domestic LPG to automotive usage. Secondly, there is a need for OEMs to push LPG variants.

Q: Read RTK-Query state in a selector without having to pass the cache key Very simple:
Let's say we use RTK-Query to retrieve the current weather.
For that, I pass to the endpoint the arg 'Paris' as city.
It will serve the current weather of my « game ».
Then later, in a Redux selector, I need to compute some derived state based on that current weather.
How to read the state without having to pass the cache key « Paris »?
Indeed, that knowledge of « Paris » was only necessary at the beginning of the app.
It seems that with RTK-Query we're stuck since you have to pass the argument that was used (the cache key) to the endpoint#select method.
Am I right in saying that RTK-Query does not currently allow that kind of state reading:
« select that current (and single) store entry X whatever the argument that was needed at loading time is ».

A: No, since that's an edge case.
Usually, there are multiple cache entries per endpoint, and there is also no concept of a "latest entry" or something, since multiple different components can render at the same time, displaying different entries for the same endpoint - the concept of a "latest" there would come down to pretty random React rendering order.
The most common solution would be to just safe "Paris" somewhere in global state to have it readily available, or to write your selector against RTKQ store internals by hand (although there might be changes to the state internals in the future).

This is too cute NOT to post. Tonight at my moms house, my brother decided that the boys should learn a little bit about ninjas.
Jack is in the black, Emerson is in the blue. I stole this little collage from my brother-in-law on facebook. I'm sure he won't mind...and if he does? Eh...I'll send my little ninja after him!

10 Attractive Dwarf Flowering Shrubs With Great Color!
10 Dwarf Flowering Shrubs that will grow in coastal gardens. These low growing shrubs will add a splash of color to any garden.
Try this selection of 10 different types of flowering shrubs in your coastal garden. They are tolerant of wind and salt spray although some of them might need a bit of protection from a hedge or wall to thrive. Most of them tolerate the sandy soils that are so common near the sea.
Of course, they are also suitable for any other garden.
Try these small flowering shrubs are for flower beds, rockeries, and mixed borders.
This deciduous, compact shrub grows about 2-3 ft high and wide depending on variety. These dwarf flowering shrubs like a moist but well-drained soil and thrive in full sun to part shade.
This shrub can deal well with sea winds and requires little shelter. The pretty flowers appear over a long period from early summer to autumn.
Popular Potentilla varieties are 'Abbotswood' (white), 'Goldfinger' (yellow), 'Primrose Beauty' (pale yellow), 'Tangerine' (orange) or 'Red Ace' (red).
Compact Fuchsias are lovely deciduous, dwarf flowering shrubs for part-shade to full sun. They can be grown in flower beds, mixed borders or containers. These dwarf bushes prefer a moist but well-drained soil.
Some Fuchsia varieties are more frost tender than others. A thick layer of mulch can help to avoid too much damage. A great variety for coastal gardens is Fuchsia 'Mrs. Popple'. This plant forms an upright bush up to 3 feet high and flowers from mid-summer till autumn.
Other popular dwarf Fuchsia varieties: 'Beacon', 'Lady Thumb', 'Tom Thumb', 'Genii' (golden foliage), 'Sunray' (variegated foliage with a pink tinge), 'Dollar Princess', 'Alice Hoffmann'.
These ground-covering roses grow up to 3 ft high and wide. They come pink, coral, amber, white, yellow and red. These healthy and low-maintenance roses are great in containers, rockeries or flower beds.
The pink Flower Carpet Rose is a fantastic seaside plant. We had great success with this rose in the most exposed gardens. This carpet rose seems to be coping with seaside conditions best followed by the red velvet Flower Carpet Rose.
Choose a reasonably well-drained spot in full sun to part-shade for these dwarf flowering shrubs. These roses are very healthy and hardly need spraying against diseases.
Dwarf, evergreen azaleas are a great addition to any garden. These spring flowering shrubs grow 2 to 3 feet high and wide and need a moist but well-drained, acidic soil.
They require some shelter from winds so plant them inside a wall, hedge or among other shrubs if you have an exposed garden.
Many different azalea varieties are available and they are all beautiful! Choose from pink, red, purple or white azalea bushes to suit your color scheme and taste.
These evergreen, small flowering shrubs grow approx. 2 feet high and 3 feet wide. They prefer a well-drained, neutral to acidic soil. Diosma grows best in part-shade to full sun.
These charming, low growing shrubs start with flowering in late winter until late spring. The pinky-white flowers are quite small but countless. They grow very well in seaside gardens if they are provided with a little bit of shelter.
Diosma is suitable for dry banks, rockeries, flower beds and in pots. They are drought-tolerant and a great ground-cover plant.
This is a lovely, evergreen shrub with showy, bright yellow flowers during the summer. Halimium grows about 1.5 feet high and wide and is a fantastic ground-cover plant for slopes and banks. They are also very pretty in rockeries and mixed borders.
These dwarf flowering shrubs grow best in a sandy soil in full sun. Also a great plant for seaside gardening. This bush requires little shelter from wind.
This dwarf Escallonia grows about 2 feet high and will cover 3 feet in width. The glossy foliage sets off the lovely tubular, red flowers that appear during the summer.
Escallonia shrubs prefer a well-drained soil in full sun. Escallonia 'Red Dream' is suitable for small beds and rockeries. It is also an excellent plant for a low hedge.
Although they are not quite as tolerant of sea winds as its bigger cousin, Escallonia macrantha, it still makes a nice, ornamental seaside plant if given a little bit of protection from wind.
This evergreen, mat-forming shrub only reaches a height of 6 inches but can spread 2-3 feet wide. This makes Lithodora plants an excellent choice for covering banks and gravel beds. They are also great for hanging over walls and as a rock garden plant. These are excellent dwarf flowering shrubs!
Pretty dark blue flowers appear from spring to early summer. They prefer a humus-rich, acid to neutral soil in full sun. A well-drained soil is essential for success.
Lithodora is a great seaside plant once provided with adequate drainage. They are also available in white (Lithodora diffusa 'Alba'). Lithodora 'Star' has blue and white flowers.
This is also an evergreen plant with silvery, aromatic foliage. They can reach a height of 2 feet and a spread of 3 feet. Yellow button-like flowers appear during the summer.
Santolia shrubs prefer a well-drained soil in full sun and benefit from a light pruning after flowering.This a great seaside plant for rockeries, gravel gardens, banks, and slopes.
Heathers come in many different colors, usually in shades of white, pink and purple. Size depends on variety and ranges from 5 inches to 2 feet high. These small evergreen flowering shrubs are great ground-cover plants for rockeries, flower beds, banks, and slopes. They are suitable for containers and window-boxes.
Heathers prefer an acidic, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Important for container growing is that you use an ericaceous potting soil that contains no lime! Heathers are available as winter and spring flowering varieties or as summer flowering varieties.
Erica varieties make better seaside plants than callunas. They can tolerate more wind and salt spray and are less prone to wind burn.


The University of Texas Medical Center sought to anchor a new teaching, patient care and research district with Austin's sole Level 1 trauma hospital located on a sloped site in a dense urban setting.
This 517,000 square foot,185-bed teaching hospital maximizes a small footprint and creates an accessible gateway to the UT Medical Center campus. HKS designers kept the urban scale in mind through a pedestrian-friendly ground level plaza, interior courtyards for peaceful reflection, and a sky bridge connecting otherwise disjointed floors. The building is sensitive to the natural context, offering views of the Texas state capitol and visual access to the natural beauty of Waller Creek and the revitalized Waterloo Park.
As the Austin area's only Level 1 trauma center for adults, the hospital now plans to expand inpatient and surgical areas through vertical additions and integrate new technologies like interactive patient care boards and digital signage.
The facility is part of a vibrant, diverse, dense urban district with human-scaled architecture. The LEED Gold-certified, 195-bed teaching hospital is the first new academic medical center on an undergraduate campus in the United States.

Lemon Law is becoming an increasingly well known term within America, as it involves our favourite mode of transportation – cars. Lemon laws are American State laws that can provide remedy for people who have purchases a vehicle that has continually failed to meet the required standards of quality and performance. Unfortunately, each year, more and more Americans are sold cars that appear to have persistent problems, these cars are known as 'lemons' and Lemon Laws are designed to protect citizens of all states from faulty autos. If you have ever encountered a 'lemon' car, or if you're considering what action to take if you feel like you've been sold one recently, then the Lemon Law section of Going Legal can hopefully give you some informative articles on what you should do next.

I've gotten a request (my first post request! Is this what relevancy feels like?!) to do a post about how I take care of my hair. Ever the obliging one, here it is!
Secondly, try to avoid heat styling as much as possible. I only use heat tools on my hair when there's some sort of special occasion. If you have to blow dry your hair, only dry it about 60% and let the air do the rest.
Use good products. Most commercial shampoos and styling products have harmful sulfates in them that dry out your hair. Use a cleansing conditioner (or google "no-poo solutions" to get recipes for baking soda rinse) to avoid harsh chemicals. Research product ingredients and what they actually do to your hair before you buy.
Braid your hair or keep it in a bun when you're sleeping; it keeps it from getting tangled and breaking.
I try to do a deep-conditioner at least once a week. What I use varies; I like to keep it natural and use coconut or olive oil, but sometimes a deep conditioner from a pot at the drugstore is easier to use (I like the Organix brand). If you use oil, make sure not to get it in your roots unless you're staying in for the day, since it gets pretty greasy.
This is basically my dream hair. Slowly but surely, right?
That's how I take care of my hair and it's growing pretty fast now!
My hair is pretty long but I love that models! That would be my dream hair also!
I stopped washing my hair ever day since November and can honestly say my hair is in the best shape it's ever been! !
I know, it makes such a difference!

Q: Google Cloud Dataflow: Writing to BigQuery after GroupByKey causes lag but CoGroupByKey does not. Why? I found a strange occurrence while running a Google Cloud Dataflow job. After running a GroupByKey transform and then writing each item from the groups to BigQuery using the WriteToBigQuery transform, the writes were around capped around 500-600 records/second:

I then ran the exact same job and used a CoGroupByKey instead of the GroupByKey and the writes went up to 50000-100000 records/second:

I'm not sure if the underlying implementation of the GroupByKey causes this delay/lag and am curious as to why this happens. Has anyone experienced this issue?
I am using Apache Beam V2.4.0 in Python.

A: The CoGroupByKey is to performs a relational join between two PCollections having the same  key type. The GroupByKey is to collect all of the values associated with each unique key in a collection.


This summer, I got together with old friends Adam Traynor, Kara Blake and Thea Metcalfe to brainstorm an idea for a new WP video. I had close to zero budget, but they had some cool ideas.
After hearing the new tunes, Adam and Kara selected the song "Everything" – not the usual guns-blazing anthem we choose for a single, but I was game. We shot it at the end of the summer with cinematographer Jules de Niverville. Now it's ready for your enjoyment.
The song was produced by Murray Lightburn and features Chilly Gonzales on piano. It's from the new EP Old Dreams, which you can buy or stream on your favourite platform here.
The new World Provider EP, Old Dreams, is out November 2 on Ting Dun.
The 5-song record is produced by Murray Lightburn and features longtime WP contributors/pals Stacey DeWolfe, Chilly Gonzales, Steve Raegele and my brother Nick Fraser.
Or pick up the limited edition 10″ vinyl EP available exclusively at Phonopolis in Montreal.
Somehow we let three years go by without a visit to the WP's hometown of Toronto. That's to be corrected when we hit TO this Saturday, October 11 at Handlebar (159 Augusta in Kensington Market). Also on the bill are The Almighty Rhombus, The Lord Almightys and Bardos. It's all put on by our old friends at the Wavelength music series. We are super excited for this return and have prepared a set of songs old and new. Doors open at 9pm and the WP hits the stage at 10:30. Check out my Wavelength interview here.
We're also happy to present our new video, which premieres today on the Exclaim site. It's the first release from the batch of tunes we recorded earlier this year. That's Stacey on the lead vocal and my man Chilly Gonzales on the keys. The video is directed by longtime WP collaborator Kara Blake. Check it out here.

« Ferguson puts spooks to work for mining companies
Margaret Thatcher's memories of power »

Dirty Money. The true cost of Australia's minerals boom
Matthew Benns
Random House Australia, 2011
As an environmental disaster it was world-class — up there with last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and then a bit. In fact, according to some, BHP's Ok Tedi mine in Papua New Guinea is the third largest environmental disaster ever, and the largest associated with mining. A sliding scale of environmental disasters is probably meaningless — they all threaten our future on this planet — but this one was on a grand scale.
In 1984, BHP in partnership with the PNG government began mining at Mount Fubilan in the Star Mountains on the headwaters of the Fly River. Mount Fubilan was pretty much a mountain of copper with the added bonus of a gold cap, but the inconvenience of several million tonnes of soil and rock.
The Star Mountains are among the remotest and wettest places on earth, receiving 1000 metres of rain annually on precipitous volcanic mountains. All that rain makes the Fly River a very big and important waterway. It's not a long river, but it carries an enormous volume of water.
Earthquakes are frequent in New Guinea's seismically active mountains, and a small one fairly quickly demolished the half-built tailing dam intended to keep BHP's heavy metals and other dangerous mine waste out of the Fly. BHP decided it was too expensive to build a new dam, and proceeded to flush a big part of Mount Fubilan down the river — 80 million tonnes a year. What was once a mountain is now is a deep pit in the ground.
The once clear waters of the Fly turned milky brown, about 1300 square kilometres of forest are dead, the crocodiles are long dead, 90 per cent of the fish are dead and the remainder inedible because of heavy metal pollution, the livelihoods of 50,000 people and 120 or so villages are gone because the fish are gone, the boars that lived in the forest are gone and the village gardens are dead.
BHP sold out of Ok Tedi in 2002 after local landowners began court action seeking compensation. BHP settled the case for $US28.6 million and indemnity from further prosecution. The mine still operates under other ownership and is still pumping tailings down the river.
This is not a new pattern for BHP, named after the distinctively shaped Broken Hill in the Barrier Range (Leaping Crest to the Aboriginal people of the area) of far-western NSW. Broken Hill Proprietary started out in 1885 mining a rich lode of silver, lead and zinc, and pulled out in 1939, leaving a legacy of lead-laden tailings that have ever since been stirred up by every breeze to poison generations of Broken Hill children.
Like Mount Fubilan, the Broken Hill is no longer a feature of the landscape, but there are plenty of tailings dumps.
Matthew Benns, in a clear, easily read style, outlines all this and a lot more about the other side of Australia's minerals boom — the side that's never mentioned in the business pages of the daily newspapers, and rarely in the general news.
There's Lihir Gold, for example, a stockmarket favourite later taken over by Newcrest Mining. It ran one of the biggest goldmines in the world in the Louise Caldera on Lihir Island in PNG's New Ireland province. That mine also had an inconvenient amount of other stuff mixed in with the 550,000 ounces of gold it extracted annually.
Lihir solved the problem by dumping the tailings across 60 square kilometres of deep ocean, denuding the area of most marine life. There's even a name and an acronym for this — deep-sea tailings processing (DSTP) — no doubt designed for eyes to slide over in an ASX prospectus. But never mind, who can sell fish, sea grass, coral and other marine life on the stock exchange?
Gold is popular since the global financial crisis. Its price has soared as stockmarket gamblers look for a "safe haven" that's less subject to abrupt fluctuations, and Benns includes the stories of a couple of goldmining companies that also could have done better environmentally, although that didn't hurt their stock price.
There's Barrick Gold, which mines on the edge of Lake Cowal, a seasonal body of water in central NSW. When full, in about seven out of every 1o years, Lake Cowal is the largest inland lake in NSW, and an internationally recognised breeding ground for 227 species of bird. As well, the goldmine happens to be on a site that's sacred to the Wiradjuri people.
Because Lake Cowal is located in a dry area, extraction of water from it is strictly regulated, but the mine is allowed to take as much as it needs. Barrick uses a lot of cyanide in processing its ore and has an unfortunate problem with massive amounts of contaminated tailings, but no doubt the birds have been warned to stay away, like the Aboriginal people whose sacred site has been destroyed.
Barrick also mines at Porgera in the New Guinea highlands, and there the tailings, 6 million tonnes of them annually, are flushed away in the Porgera-Stickland river system, staining it bright red.
The story doesn't stop there, as Australian companies from Saskatchewan to The Philippines to various parts of Africa scour the world seeking minerals to rip out of the ground and turn into profits and tradable securities. Benn describes the Montaro oil well blowout that polluted a large area of the Timor Sea and destroyed the livelihoods of several Indonesian fishing villages. Then there's the ongoing disaster of uranium mining in the Northern Territory, and repeated tailings dam failures in monsoonal rain.
The book also touches on matters such as the largely unknown story of fly-in, fly-out prostitution to attend to fly-in, fly-out workforces at remote sites scattered across Australia, and the effects on local towns of the increasing use of FIFO.
As Benns says, it's a dirty story, as mining with scant respect for the environment or local residents, whether they be NSW and Queensland farmers fighting fracking, Aborigines defending their sacred sites, Indonesians or New Guinea highlanders trying to protect their lands, or Africans such as those of the village of Kilwa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, most of whom were shot down by troops called in by Canadian-Australian Anvil Mining to defend its operations.
Matthew Benns has put together a great deal of information on Australian mining companies, their dubious environmental and social records and their political methods. His information is referenced and everything I have cross-checked is accurate.
One thing is clear, the methods Benn describes make social and environmental disasters inevitable, they are not accidental, but their vast wealth means they can buy political influence and they can get away with just about anything, including murder at times.

Shellshock Attacks Spotted Against NAS Devices
First in-the-wild exploits found targeting QNAP network-attached storage devices.
Just a week after news of the Shellshock Bash bug went wide open, researchers believe the onslaught against the Internet of Things (IoT) has already begun. The malicious actors are starting with attacks targeting network-attached storage (NAS) devices, say researchers with FireEye, who believe these are the first in-the-wild attacks against embedded devices using the Bash remote code injection vulnerability.
According to FireEye researchers James Bennett and Josh Gomez, the attack has homed in on NAS devices made by QNAP, which is among the top manufacturers of low-cost NAS devices for consumer, SMB, and enterprise customers. These devices, along with QNAP video surveillance and network media player devices, all primarily run embedded Linux and are vulnerable to Shellshock without a patch. The way that the Bash vulnerability presents itself in these devices grants root privileges to attackers, and QNAP has warned users to completely disconnect systems from the Internet until they can patch the bug.
"We have evidence that attackers are actively exploiting the time-to-patch window and targeting embedded devices, specifically those made by QNAP, in order to append their SSH key to the authorized_keys file and install an ELF backdoor," the researchers wrote.
These attacks have so far been targeting QNAP NAS devices on networks associated with universities and research institutions in Japan and Korea, as well as an isolated case in the US. The attack attempts to instruct the target NAS to download a script that affects the device's startup environment to allow for future malicious updates, loads the malicious SSH key to allow for future password bypass, and then further cements itself with an ELF executable that gives the attacker shell access to the device and can be invoked in three different ways. FireEye warns that even if unpatched QNAP NAS devices are taken off the Internet, they could still be vulnerable to lateral attacks from inside a network.
Considering that NAS systems are used by consumers and organizations to store large amounts of data and to house databases, it is no wonder they're attracting Shellshock-armed attackers like flies to honey.
"This makes an NAS an attractive target for attackers given the broad types of data they handle," they said. "In this case, the attackers can gain full access the NAS contents as well as execute other commands."
According to Jacob Holcomb, a researcher preparing to present at Black Hat Europe on NAS security, about half of NAS devices he's investigated can be taken over without authentication. A security analyst for Independent Security Evaluators, Holcomb recently uncovered 30 zero-day vulnerabilities in a dozen major NAS vendor products and roll them up into a proof-of-concept, self-replicating NAS worm. Holcomb believes that NAS devices can present a meaningful weakness for a number of types of attacks, including as a foothold for attackers to sprinkle infected files that could be used to send the attack to other devices on the network and as a control center for man-in-the-middle attacks against routers and network clients.

Beyond QNAP?
NAS is a sizeable market with some well known players. hope they are working fast and furious to close that time-to-patch window real soon.


The Tri Faith Inititative has purchased property in Omaha Nebraska to be used for communal purposes by the three most recognized religions in the world, Chistians, Jews and Muslims.
People who call themselves Christians, Jews, and Muslims will share 35 acres on the site, with a common building to be used for combined events. A temple, church and mosque will occupy the land per the Tri Faith Initiative and an article written in Arab American.com.
It appears Tony Blair and his ilk, are achieving their purpose of one world religion. One state at a time?

Eli Whitney's cotton gin hits the industrial scene
Roger Allen - photo by Special
Roger Allen
Special to the Herald
Updated: Jan. 11, 2015, 11:02 p.m.
(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the history and evolution of agriculture in Georgia and Bulloch County.)
The two varieties of cotton being grown in Georgia required different kinds of processors, or gins.
Upland cotton was cleaned with a saw gin. This machine had a saw whose teeth pulled the seeds apart from the cotton.
Sea Island cotton, however, was cleaned with a roller gin. This machine had two rollers which would pull the cotton through, leaving the seeds behind. The roller gin processed five times the amount of Sea Island cotton that could be cleaned by hand in a day.
Whereas in 1790 only 20,000 pounds of cotton was sold at Savannah's cotton market, in 1796 the amount of cotton being brought to market in Savannah had jumped to 1.7 million pounds.
The story of how the first working American cotton gin came to be made is an interesting tale indeed, according to D.A. Tompkins, whose book, "The Cotton Gin and Its Invention," was published in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1901.
According to Tompkins, in 1792, a young man named Eli Whitney traveled from Massachusetts to the port of Savannah intending to get a job with a wealthy family as a private tutor.
While onboard the vessel, he met and befriended Mrs. Nathaniel Greene, the widow of the Revolutionary War hero. She was very impressed with this young man.
He, therefore, accepted Mrs. Greene's offer of her house in Mulberry Grove, upriver from Savannah, as a place from which he could undertake to study law. His search for a job as a tutor was abandoned.
Mrs. Greene's friends came by regularly to visit with both Mrs. Greene and Mr. Whitney. Whitney offered to design a machine to separate the cotton for Majors Brewer, Forsythe and Pendleton, who lived in the Augusta area.
He was given a room in Mrs. Greene's basement in which he could build his invention. He filed a petition for a patent for his new machine in Philadelphia with none other than Thomas Jefferson on June 20, 1793.
Whitney's patent was issued on March 14, 1794, and was actually signed by President George Washington along with then Secretary of State Edmund Ramsey, and United States Attorney General William Bradford.
Some questioned the validity of his patent in the United States District Court in Savannah in 1804, but it was certified in court documents by none other than then-Secretary of State James Madison.
For his invention, Whitney received royalties for the use of his machine from South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee of some $90,000. In Georgia, however, Whitney attempted to create a monopoly on all cotton processed on his gin.

[Review] Rainforest World Music Festival – 20 Years of Song and Rhythm in Sarawak
February 23, 2018 October 31, 2018 | by Georgette Tan
I wrote this review last year for The Borneo Post but the article was published with all traces of its reviewer removed. I was so traumatised, I filed it under "selective amnesia". Here is my unedited copy, which I found this week sorting my folder.
'Rainforest World Music Festival – 20 Years of Song and Rhythm in Sarawak' contains all you need to know about Sarawak's internationally acclaimed music festival on it's 20th year of existence.
Officially launched by Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah on July 12, the 164-page book sounds like a hefty tome but the writing manages to be both light and to-the-point, leaving the spreads of colour photographs to paint their thousand words and dredged up memories of the years I attended.
For regular festival goers, this book contain information on RWMF that you may have wondered but never wondered enough to ask. When the festival gets going, there is too much to keep up with to even try keeping up with everything.
The typical audience member only wants to know who is playing that night, where a workshop venue is, and where to get food. The logistics and machinery of what makes the festival run is something that few think about. Fortunately, this book addresses a lot of that.
Gracie Geikie with a copy of the book.
The authors, Gracie Geikie and Lah Wan Yee, spoke to key personalities behind the festival, and honoured their role in making RWMF happen.
People like Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar James Jemut Masing, who was the Tourism Minister in 1997, had the task of presenting the idea to the then Chief Minister Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
Taib asked him if he could guarantee that this idea would work, probably because he was just asked to drop a total of RM250,000 for the festival.
Masing responded with, "I cannot guarantee that, but I can guarantee that it will not work if we don't start."
It would be impossible to capture and sandwich the true atmosphere and the music of the festival between the pages of a book, and the authors did not bother trying.
Instead, they looked into the evolution of the venue, Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV). They looked into the complementary events and bazaars springing up around the venue, and how other aspects of indigenous culture – crafts, food, tattoos – are being brought forward.
It's easy to think that the book is about the festival but it is really about the people – those who pushed for it to begin, those who guided its baby steps, those who came as volunteers and stayed as part of the backbone, and those brought word of it out of SCV and in to the greater parts of Malaysia and the world.
It's about those who went to earlier festivals, and left dreaming that one day they will be the ones on stage playing to the audience. It's about longtime guardians of indigenous music and instruments, and about how more young people are playing the sape today than back when RWMF started.
It's about personal and corporate responsibility, and of countering any environmental damage created by bringing thousands of people to Kuching and the Santubong Peninsular for a weekend.
At 20 years old, it's safe to say that RWMF isn't going anywhere, so drop by and say hi.
'Rainforest World Music Festival – 20 Years of Song and Rhythm in Sarawak' comes in hard cover (RM200) and paperback (RM180) and contains 164 pages. It was published by Place Borneo Sdn Bhd.
It is available at the festival site this weekend, or online. It will soon be available via Amazon.com. Like their Facebook page for updates.

Hello! My name is Lindsey and I'm going to be a senior at Clarence High School this upcoming fall. I started taking voice lessons at MSS with Leah Wietig when I was a sophomore. My goal at the time was to make it into my high school musical, but eventually my my goals turned into much more. Over the years, Leah has challenged me with loads of new repertoire, and I fell in love with music even more than I had before. Once I decided to pursue a career in vocal performance, Leah helped me immensely with choosing great pieces to match not only my voice type, but also to fit together in a great package for college. Taking lessons at Main Stage Studios definitely helped me discover talents I didn't know I had, and it also opened up new doors of opportunity. The atmosphere is truly welcoming, and I enjoy taking lessons and continuing the journey every week.

Shutdown worsens historic blizzard that killed tens of thousands of South Dakota cattle
Tuesday Oct 8, 2013 7:16 PM
KNBN-TV
Rapid City and many other parts of South Dakota recorded record snowfall totals for the entire month of October in just three days over the weekend.
An unusually early and enormous snowstorm over the weekend caught South Dakota ranchers and farmers unprepared, killing tens of thousands of cattle and ravaging the state's $7 billion industry — an industry left without assistance because of the federal government shutdown.
As many as 75,000 cattle have perished since the storm slammed the western part of the state Thursday through Saturday with snowfall that set records for the entire month of October in just three days, state and industry officials said.
Across the state, snow totals averaged 30 inches, with some isolated areas recording almost 5 feet, The Weather Channel reported.
The South Dakota Stock Growers Association estimated that 15 percent to 20 percent of all cattle were killed in some parts of the state. Some ranchers reported that they lost half or more of their herds.
The storm was accompanied by hurricane-force wind gusts, especially Friday night, which drove some herds seeking shelter miles from their ranches. A trail of carcasses left a gruesome sight, said Martha Wierzbicki, emergency management director for Butte County, in the northwestern corner of the state.
Parts of South Dakota are in cleanup mode after a strong winter storm pounded some areas. Kirsten Swanson of NBC station KNBN reports.
"They're in the fence line, laying alongside the roads," Wierzbicki told The Rapid City Journal. "It's really sickening."
Ranchers have no one to ask for help or reimbursement. That's because Congress has yet to pass a new farm bill, which subsidizes agricultural producers.
And even if there were a farm bill, the government shutdown means nothing could be done under one anyway.
State Agriculture Secretary Lucas Lentsch called the early-season blizzard "devastating to our producers," saying his agency was trying to figure out a response.

In the meantime, he said, the best farmers and ranchers can do is meticulously document their losses, with detailed photos, for use when and if claims can be processed.
The most immediate concern is proper disposal of the dead livestock, which state law says must be burned, buried or rendered within 36 hours — for the health not only of surviving herds but also for people.
"That can be a significant source of disease spread, so we want to make sure those carcasses are burned, buried or rendered as quickly as possible," Dustin Oedekoven, South Dakota's state veterinarian, told the Journal.
But the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association warned that the effects would be felt for years afterward. Not only were tens of thousands of calves killed, but so were thousands more cows that would have delivered calves next year.
And the stress of the storm will leave its mark on surviving herds, the South Dakota State University Agricultural Extension Service said, leaving the remaining cattle vulnerable to ruinous diseases with names like infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine respiratory syncytial virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus.
Most of the diseases have incubation periods of a week or two, so those problems can't yet be assessed, the extension said.
"This is absolutely, totally devastating," Steve Schell, a rancher in Caputa, near Mount Rushmore, told the Rapid City newspaper. "This is horrendous. I mean the death loss of these cows in this county is unbelievable."

Circular to Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski and the Colonels of the Continental Light Dragoon Regiments, 25 October 1777
Circular to Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski and the Colonels of the Continental Light Dragoon Regiments
Head Quarters [Whitpain Township, Pa.]
I am sorry to find that the liberty I granted to the light dragoons of impressing horses near the enemy's lines has been most horribly abused and perverted into a mere plundering scheme. I intended nothing more than that the horses belonging to the disaffected, in the neighbourhood of the British army, should be taken for the use of the dismounted dragoons, and expected, that they would be regularly reported to the Quarter master General, that an account might be kept of the number and the persons from whom they were taken, in order to a future settlement.1 Instead of this, I am informed that under pretence of the authority derived from me, they go about the country plundering whomsoever they are pleased to denominate tories, and converting what they get to their own private profit and emolument.2 This is an abuse that cannot be tolerated; and as I find the license allowed them, has been made a sanction for such mischeivous practices, I am under the necessity of recalling it altogether. You will therefore immediately make it known to your whole corps, that they are not under any pretence whatever to meddle with the horses or other property of any inhabitant whatever, on pain of the severest punishment, for they may be assured as far as it depends upon me that military execution will attend all those who are caught in the like practice hereafter.
the more effectually to put it out of their power to elude this prohibition, all the horses in your corps, in the use of the Non Commissioned officers and privates, not already stamped with the Continental brand are without loss of time to be brought to the Qr Master General to receive that brand; and henceforth if any of them shall be found with horses that are without it, they shall be tried3 for marauding and disobedience of orders.
I am fully confident, you will be equally disposed with me to reprobate and abolish the practice complained of; and will adopt the strictest measures to fulfil the intention of this letter, and prevent its continuance in future. I am Sir Yr most Obedt ser.
Df, in Alexander Hamilton's writing, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW. Copies were sent to colonels Theodorick Bland, Elisha Sheldon, George Baylor, and Stephen Moylan.
1. See General Orders, 24 October.
2. One of GW's informants apparently was Samuel Potts of Pottstown, Pa., who petitioned GW on 2 Oct., complaining "That under Colour of an Order or Writing whereof ⟨the⟩ annex⟨ed⟩ is a true Copy a certain Cornet Brown this Morning entered the Stable of your Petitioner at the Town aforesaid and forcibly seized and carried off three Horses the Property of your Petitioner; Against which illegal Proceedings he begs leave to remonstrate for the following Reasons.
"1st Because General Poliski had no Power or Authority to issue an Order to divest the Peaceable Inhabitants of this Country of their Property without their Consent.
"2ndly Because the said Order is illegal; inasmuch as it vests the sd Cornet Brown with a dangerous and Arbitrary Power of determining who are Whigs and who are Tories and to take without Colour of Law the Property of those whom he, tho' a perfect Stranger, may upon false information please to call the latter.
"3rdly Because the said Cornet Brown, when told that he was more than fifteen Miles from Worcester Township, under the Pretense of having further Verbal Orders, exceeded the Limits of his said Warrant both as to the Place of taking, the Person whose Property he took, and the Horses by him carried off.
"Not doubting but your Excellency out of Regard to Law and Justice will immediately put a Check to Proceedings so indiscreet illegal and Arbitrary your Petitioner humbly prays that you would be pleased to order a Restoration of his Property to be made" (PHi). The enclosed impressment warrant has not been identified. John Brown (1762–1820) of New Jersey, who had served previously as a sergeant in Col. David Forman's New Jersey militia regiment, became a cornet in Col. Elisha Sheldon's 2d Continental Light Dragoon Regiment in January 1777, and he was promoted to lieutenant on 11 Oct. 1777. Brown resigned his commission in June 1779.
3. At this place on the draft manuscript, Hamilton first wrote "deemed guilty." He then struck out those words and wrote the word "tried."

As retailers, it is natural for us to be keyed on the hottest products of the season or holiday, or the latest fad that has blown up on the Internet.

There are dozens from which to choose.
Another ever-popular toy staple are dolls, which now come in endless varieties. Choose from our Fancy Fashion Doll Set for $1.90, Glitter Fashion Doll for $3.40, Glamorous Black Fashion Doll with Dress & Handbag for $4.25, Dreamy Fashion Doll with Dresses for $4.50 and myriads more. You will also find a number of decorative doll stands and add-on fashion accessories and touches for sale.
For the builders, movers and speedsters, there are always construction sets, supersonic planes and the latest hot rods and speedy cars.

So browse through out inventory and pick out a nice cross-section to offer to your customers.
Let's face it, kids love to run around and play. Luckily, Kole Imports has many things to consider, including the Swirly Super Bounce Ball for $0.69 and the Arcade-Style Basketball Hoops Game for $13.00.

Season in Review: 2018 F&M Football
Schedule/Results | 2018 Statistics | Highlight Video | Single-Game Highlights
With the seventh postseason appearance in the last 10 years and the most wins across a two-year span in program history with 18, Franklin & Marshall football's continued success in 2018 helped to sustain one of the most successful runs by a Diplomat team. F&M ended its year with an 8-3 record and won its second-straight Centennial-MAC Bowl. Seven Diplomats were named All-Conference and senior defensive end Joe Granahan '19 reset the Centennial Conference (CC) and F&M career sack records.
Click here to watch the highlights from the 2018 season.
F&M started out the year with four straight victories, with dominating wins over Lebanon Valley (44-21) and Juniata (40-17). The next two were hard-fought seven-point victories over McDaniel (21-14) and a 14-7 overtime thriller against Susquehanna.
Two midseason setbacks had F&M sitting at 4-2 heading into the final stretch. The Diplomats took care of Dickinson on Oct. 20 by a 35-14 score to retain the Wagon Trophy and thrashed Moravian 40-6 on Homecoming Weekend. A final-second field goal lifted Ursinus over F&M on Nov. 3 and the Diplomats finished out the regular season with a 34-10 win over Gettysburg to keep possession of the Lincoln Trophy.
A 7-3 regular season record secured F&M a spot in Centennial-MAC Bowl for the third straight year, the most out of any team in either conference, and set up a matchup with Lycoming on Nov. 17. A back-and-forth affair came down to the final seconds when Brendan Kilkenny '19 blocked a 32-yard field goal attempt with 13 ticks on the clock to secure a 21-20 victory over the Warriors and a second consecutive bowl win for F&M.
Seven members earned All-CC accolades. Two first-team honors came on offense with K.J. Pretty '19 and Brian Denoncour '20 earning spots. Two more came on defense as Joe Granahan '19 and Sebastian Silva-Muniz '20 were honored and Kevin Lammers '20 was honored as a first team specialist. Brendan Kilkenny '19 was a second-team selection and Phillip Weiser '20 received honorable mention. Granahan became just the 46th player in CC history to be named to the First Team in three consecutive seasons.
Granahan went on to be named to the D3football.com All-South Region Third Team. The honor was the second consecutive All-Region selection for Granahan. He reset both the Centennial and program career record with 36 career sacks. He started in all 11 games, and recorded 31 solo tackles and assisted on 25 more. Granahan had 13.5 tackles for a loss, including 10.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles in 2018.
For the second consecutive year, Drew Tomlinson '20 and Kevin Lammers '20 were each named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 Football Team. The CoSIDA Academic All-America Program requires that nominees are at least a sophomore with a 3.30 or higher cumulative grade point average and are starters or significant reserves on their team.
Brendan Kilkenny '19 was named a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's 2018 William V. Campbell Trophy. He was one of just 41 semifinalists from an NCAA Division III program and one of four from the Centennial to receive the honor. The candidates for the award must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of playing eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship.
Twelve players were named to the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll. To make the Academic Honor Roll list, student-athletes must be a sophomore or higher in standing and have a cumulative GPA of 3.40 or above following the 2018 spring semester. Jake Barr '21, Dom Bertone '21, Brian Denoncour '20, Stevie Gerovasilis '19, Matt Hamby '20, Brendan Kilkenny '19, Derek Kleinman '20, Kevin Lammers '20, Garrett Perschy '21, Tyler Schubert '19, Drew Tomlinson '20, and Phillip Weiser '20 all made the list.

– Very inspiring speech from a elementary school teacher, waiting for the metro in Stalingrad, Bastide. He spoke passionately and combined French with English while making his point very clear. He believes that the early years are fundamental to children for their further development in life. The element of 'humans are good by nature, but not by choice' is an interesting perspective and arguable to many.
