Palestine human rights campaigners today welcomed news that the UK's fifth biggest food retailer, The Co-operative Group, will "no longer engage with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements".
The Co-op's decision, notified to campaigners in a statement, will immediately impact four suppliers, Agrexco, Arava Export Growers, Adafresh and Mehadrin, Israel's largest agricultural export company. Mehadrin sources produce from illegal settlements, including Beqa'ot in the Occupied Jordan Valley. During interviews with researchers, Palestinian workers in the settlement said they earn as little as €11 per day. Grapes and dates packaged in the settlement were all labelled 'Produce of Israel'.
Mehadrin's role in providing water to settlement farms and its relationship with Israeli state water company Mekorot makes the company additionally complicit with Israel's discriminatory water policies. Other companies may be affected by the Co-op's new policy if they are shown to be sourcing produce from Israel's settlements in the Occupied Territories.
Hilary Smith, Co-op member and Boycott Israel Network (BIN) agricultural trade campaign co-ordinator, said "we welcome this important decision by the Co-op to take steps toward fully realising their policy of support for human rights and ethical trading. The Co-op has taken the lead internationally in this historic decision to hold corporations to account for complicity in Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights. We strongly urge other retailers to follow suit and take similar action".
The announcement by the Co-op came just before their Regional AGMs, due to take place over the next two weeks, and where motions on this issue have been submitted for discussion. For months Co-op members have been highlighting their concerns about trade with complicit companies through co-ordinated letter-writing and discussions with local offices.
"Israeli agricultural export companies like Mehadrin profit from and are directly involved in the ongoing colonisation of occupied Palestinian land and theft of our water. Trade with such companies constitutes a major form of support for Israel's apartheid regime over the Palestinian people, so we warmly welcome this principled decision by the Co-Operative. Other European supermarkets must now take similar steps to end their complicity with Israeli violations of international law. The movement for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law is proving to be a truly effective form of action in support of Palestinian rights".
Campaigners say that this widening of the Co-op's human rights and trade policy represents a victory for the BDS campaign, called for in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian civil society organisations. Actions across Europe to highlight the issue of complicit agricultural trade companies have included co-ordinated popular boycotts, pickets of supermarkets, lobbying and blockades of company premises.
Last year Agrexco, formerly Israel's largest agricultural goods exporter, was ordered into liquidation after posting record losses and failing to pay its creditors. Shir Hever, Israeli economist and commentator who researches the economic aspects of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, said that one factor was "the fact that Agrexco has been the target of an international boycott campaign, in protest at its role in repressing Palestinians".
All other major supermarkets in the UK continue to trade with the companies that are now barred under the Co-op's human rights and trade policy.
5. Mehadrin Group – An Update, by Who Profits?
Since 2009, The Co-operative Group has operated a Human Rights and Trade Policy, which establishes the exceptional circumstances under which we will withdraw all trade from a particular state, area or settlement.
One such circumstance is where there is a broad international consensus that the status of a settlement is illegal.
There are only two examples of such settlements: the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the Moroccan settlements in Western Sahara.
On this basis, our policy has previously been not to source any produce or own-brand product from the Israeli settlements (or from Moroccan settlements). Since its adoption, this position has been underpinned by a rigorous monitoring process.
On the 25th April, The Co-operative's Board determined that, going forward, we will additionally no longer engage with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements. This decision will impact four suppliers*, and circa £350,000 of trade.
In reaching this decision the Board was mindful of the additional costs involved in the tracing and auditing of all produce supplied by these businesses.
In line with the Board's decision, we have audited our supply chain and identified a small number of businesses that we can no longer source from, as there is evidence that they source from the settlements.
This position is not a boycott of Israeli businesses, and we continue to have supply agreements with some twenty Israeli suppliers that do not source from the settlements, a number of which may benefit from a transfer of trade.
We will also continue to actively work to increase trade links with Palestinian businesses in the Occupied Territories.
*The four suppliers are Agrexco, Arava Export Growers, Adafresh and Mehadrin.

FIFA punishes Bulgaria, Hungary for racial abuse with fines, orders to play games without fans | iNFOnews | Thompson-Okanagan's News Source

FIFA punishes Bulgaria, Hungary for racial abuse with fines, orders to play games without fans
Graham Dunbar
ZURICH - FIFA denounced "abhorrent, shameful" racist and anti-Semitic abuse by Bulgaria and Hungary fans at opposing teams on Tuesday, and ordered each team to play a World Cup qualifier in an empty stadium.
The punishments were announced as players and anti-discrimination groups demand tougher action against incidents at stadiums, including in Italy and Serbia.
"FIFA strongly condemns all forms of racism in football, and any form of discrimination will not be tolerated and will receive a strong response by the relevant FIFA authorities," world football's governing body said in a statement.
FIFA fined Bulgaria 35,000 Swiss francs ($38,000) and Hungary 40,000 Swiss francs ($43,400).
Bulgaria fans made monkey chants at Denmark defender Patrick Mtiliga, who is black, during a World Cup qualifier in Sofia on Oct. 12. Bulgaria, which is in the same group as Italy, will play in an empty stadium on March 22 when it hosts Malta.
"The offensive, denigratory and discriminatory action of a small group of Bulgarian supporters was shameful," FIFA said.
Hungary fans directed anti-Semitic slogans and reportedly displayed Iran flags to insult Israel at an Aug. 15 friendly in Budapest. Hungary's punishment applies to the World Cup when neighbouring Romania visits on March 22.
FIFA's disciplinary panel was "unanimous in condemning an abhorrent episode of racism, anti-Semitism, and of political, provocative and aggressive nature perpetrated by supporters of the Hungarian national team."
However, FIFA declined to take World Cup qualifying points from either team as its disciplinary code allows, and which would have severely damaged the two teams' chances of advancing to the 2014 tournament in Brazil.
Bulgaria and Hungary are in second place in their respective groups, which would be enough to earn a place in the European playoffs in November.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said that "sanctions must be a deduction of points or something similar" to uphold the governing body's zero-tolerance stance on racism and discrimination.
Blatter spoke out at the weekend after AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng led teammates to protest at racial abuse by opposing fans by walking off the pitch and force a friendly against fourth-tier Italian club Pro Patria to be abandoned.
At the FIFA player of the year awards on Monday, Blatter said Boateng was "strong and courageous" but that players leaving the field "cannot be the solution in the long term."
FIFA was helped in taking its latest action by the European fans' network FARE, which sends anti-discrimination monitors to high-risk matches.
"We welcome the action taken to enforce a 'closed doors' sanction on Hungary," FARE executive director Piara Powar said in a statement. "Although the punishment does not reflect the action the FIFA president suggested should be imposed last week, it is a strong message for a first offence."
Denmark also complained to FIFA after second-half substitute Mtiliga, whose father is from Tanzania, was abused by Bulgaria fans during the 1-1 draw.
In an unusually detailed published verdict, FIFA said Mtiliga was abused "each time he touched the ball after entering the field in the 54th minute."
"In the 73rd minute, the (FIFA) match commissioner spoke to the 4th official, and a public address warning was given to the home fans by the announcer. Although the level of abuse subsided, audible racist abuse still continued until the final whistle," FIFA said.
Powar said FIFA's verdicts "should be echoed across football."
"The incidents FARE observers reported ... are a reminder of the power that the far-right still have in Europe and the influence they seek over some football fans," he said.
The Bulgarian Football Union was previously fined €40,000 ($52,000) by UEFA for racist abuse by fans directed at England winger Ashley Young in their European Championship qualifier in September 2011.
FIFA has invited fans to report abuse incidents, noting that "any person might report conduct that he or she considers incompatible" with its disciplinary code.
Also on Tuesday, the English Football Association confirmed it would appeal to UEFA against sanctions applied to two of its players after a volatile Under-21 European Championship qualifier in Serbia in November.
UEFA also has filed a challenge to its own independent appeals panel to seek tougher sanctions against Serbia, whose fans aimed monkey chants at England defender Danny Rose. Serbia players and coaches brawled with the English team after the match.
The UEFA disciplinary panel was criticized for fining Serbia just €80,000 ($104,000). Serbia was also ordered to play one U21 match in an empty stadium, plus two coaches and four players were suspended.

SESQUI Stories
SESQUI Ambassadors: Ray Dumas
SESQUI "HORIZON" – DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
SESQUI was interesting from the very start, so I was very keen to jump aboard. It'd be something that was not only good creatively but something that I thought would be good for the country. The fact that this was an homage to the original 360 at Expo '67 really appealed to me.
Our country's so huge and there's so many people that don't get to experience the entirety of our country and all of its beauty and all that it has to offer. So to do SESQUI, I think is important. I think it's important to people born in Canada and to new Canadians, to really get a sense of scale and scope and grandeur of where we live. It's really a remarkable place and the fact that it's a vibrant population, we're growing, but it's very few people and such a huge amount of space. So it's really important to celebrate that and to realize that we're very lucky to be where we are.
For me personally that I wanted to pick places to film that I hadn't been before so that:
I could experience that, and
It really helps when you go somewhere new and you're in a creative capacity you get inspired much more somewhere new.
I had never actually gone to the Northwest Territories or to the Yukon, so when I ended up shooting those segments I was very, very excited. It was a fantastic experience. I'm a city-dweller, I've always been, and it's really remarkable when you go to a place where it's so wild, where people still commune with nature and live off the land. That's what made it special for me; to get a taste of what life is like in a part of Canada that's so far away.
I think that what makes 360° different rather than the tradition style of media and filmmaking is that, traditionally people are directed where to look and what to feel and what to see and how to absorb. Whereas in 360° it really is just like being in a crowd in a real-life situation where it's up to you to look at what you want to look at. So it's more of a personal experience and what you get out of it is based on how you look at the film and how you perceive things.
So I think it is really interesting. It makes it more difficult to tell a story and people are still learning how to how to craft storytelling in this new format, and that's something that also attracted me to this project.
The biggest difference between how we shot the film and how earlier projects such as Expo '67 were shot, is you have the ability to look all around you, which isn't unique cinematically, it has happened before but this is the first time, in this situation, where we're going to project on a full dome, so you can not only look all around you in 360-degrees, but you can look straight up as well, up into the sky. So for example, a great use of that was filming Haida Gwaii and shooting totem poles, and being able to look up at the amazing height and beauty of these totem poles. And even the old growth forests in B.C.. So the way we shot it is using technology that is actually still being developed. We ended up using cameras that did not exist off the shelf, we had to make our own devices to marry cameras, stitch the images together and to re-project them on a screen so it feels like you're standing in the middle of a lake or an ocean or any number of places that we shot.
When I think of Canada, the first word that comes to mind personally, for me, is luck. I feel incredibly lucky to be here, at this time in history and geographically. I couldn't imagine a better place right now. And I feel pride but I feel lucky more than anything else. When you go out and you shoot something like SESQUI, and you're experiencing it and letting it sink in, you realize the incredible abundance that we have in nature, and the amazing personality of our people.
My biggest hope for Canada, would be that we not only celebrate what we're so lucky to have but my biggest hope is that we protect it – that we're smart enough to protect it and not let it go to waste and not exploit it for the wrong reasons. That's my biggest hope.

Career development remains the most important concern of employees. They want to know how they will grow within the company and what opportunities exist or will be available to them in the future.
Ownership of career development is not so clearly defined. Is it that of HR? or, is it the immediate supervisor's or manager's? or, is it that of the business unit head's?
Career development plans needs availability of good amount of information on the current jobs as well as future jobs and the skills that are needed for the current and the future job.
Most companies do not have such information and thus it is difficult for the employee, HR or Manager to clearly help the employee.
Get Skills Profiles of all the jobs in one place. Skills profiles in a simple, structured and precise manner showing the skills required and the skills proficiencies required for the job.
Similarly get Skills Profiles of all the employees. Get them to map their skills and rate their proficiencies in the skills.
Make the Job Skills Profiles accessible to the employees such that they can compare their skills with any job in the company i.e. be able to compare the Job Skills Profile and their Employee Skills Profile.
They themselves will be able to appreciate the various jobs in the companies, understand the skills required for the jobs and be able to appreciate their skills gap.
Note that the Skills Profile is same for that of job and the employee and is simple, structured and has proficiency levels.
Here is a sample output of the Skills Gap Analysis for a company.

Lee Rust, founder and CEO of Freedom Forever Ministries, has been faithfully proclaiming God's Word to incarcerated women since 2000. Her passion to reach the lost and provide freedom in Christ through biblical instruction has offered hope to those whom many have forgotten.
Lee's personal testimony is one of tragedy, loss, and of God's grace leading her to begin ministering to hurting women. Her authentic, straight-forward style of teaching has inspired and encouraged women in prison cells as well as sanctuaries, Bible studies, and all types of women's events. Lee and her husband Eric have three children and reside in Paducah, Kentucky. Lee is a Kentucky Missionary and also an active member of the ACA (American Correctional Association), CMCA (Correctional Ministries and Chaplain Association) and the AJA (American Jail Association).
In December 2000, under God's direction, Ms. Lee Rust began Freedom Forever Ministries as a Christian ministry for incarcerated women. Eighteen years later, Freedom Forever Ministries is reaching thousands of female inmates annually. The weekly session includes praise music, Bible study, and prayer. Ms. Lee Rust has developed a program that speaks to these female inmates in a way they can identify and understand.
Our statistics continue to provide valuable information concerning the inmates and their needs. These women are abused, educated mothers from lower middle class and middle class families who have a misguided picture of love. They have often expressed appreciation for what the ministry has given them during their incarceration and they continue to use after they leave the facilities.
Freedom Forever Ministries exists to glorify God by providing Biblical principles to incarcerated women through worship, scripture and life application.
To lead incarcerated women into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Incarcerated women around the world will be redeemed, restored and returned to their families.
Our Statement of Faith summarizes biblical truth that historically and doctrinally has been regarded as essential to the Christian faith. We ask that all of our leaders, board members and volunteers be in full agreement with this statement.
We believe the Holy Bible, to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the World.
We believe in His eternal existence as God; His Incarnation and Virgin Birth; His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin; His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead; His present ministry of intercession in heaven; and His personal, future return to earth.
We believe Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Through Jesus Christ, we find redemption of sin and assurance of an eternal home in heaven. Salvation involves repentance, a change of mind in respect to God and thus turning from one's own sinful way to God's way. Salvation believes by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; it is by grace we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ not by works.
We believe the Church is a local, visible body of assembled baptized believers who gather for worship of the Lord Jesus, and scatters to be His witnesses.
We believe the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.
We believe human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.
We believe in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth; in the bodily resurrection of the just to the eternal abode in the glory of God's presence; and in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.

Az I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For a második dal az ír U2 rockegyüttes 1987-es The Joshua Tree albumáról. Ez volt második, és mindezidáig az utolsó kislemezük a With or Without You után, amely az első helyet érte el a Billboard Hot 100 listán. Az angol slágerlistán a hatodik helyet érte el.

A dal egy másik, Under the Weather Girls című dalból fejlődött ki. Miután a dalnak egy hevenyészett változatát felvették, Daniel Lanois producer a nemtetszését fejezte ki iránta, egyedül Adam Clayton basszusszólamával és Larry Mullen Jr. dobjátékával volt elégedett, így ezt használták az I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For alapjának. A dal végső szerkezetét végül The Edge rétegezett gitárszólamával, és Bono tenor énekével kapta meg, amely összességében egyfajta vágyakozó, emelkedett lelkiállapotot fejezett ki. Több eltérő vélemény van a jelentéséről, egyesek szerint békehimnusz, de van olyan feltételezés is, mely szerint Bono a keresztény hittel való találkozását írja le. Egy nyilatkozatában maga Bono gospel dalnak nevezte. Maga a The Joshua Tree album egyfajta kísérlet volt az amerikai zenei gyökerek felfedezésére, ennek kapcsán a készítése során inspirációs forrásként sok gospel dalt is hallgattak.

A videóklipet a Las Vegas-i Fremont Streeten forgatták, ahol az együttes tagjai az úton sétálnak, Bono a dalt énekli, The Edge pedig akusztikus gitáron kíséri.

A dalt folyamatosan játszották a The Joshua Tree Touron, az 1987. szeptember 28-án a New York-i Madison Square Gardenben, a New Voices of Freedom gospelkórussal közösen előadott anyag szerepelt az együttes következő, 1988-as Rattle and Hum című albumán.

1988-ban Grammy-díjjal jutalmazták a "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group" kategóriában.

2004-ben a Rolling Stone magazin 500 legjobb dalának listáján a 93. helyre sorolták. Ugyanebben az évben a Los Angeles Times kritikusa, Robert Hilburn a U2 Let It Be-jének nevezte.

Today was yet another day that didn't seem to have a particular theme. I was only in the booth for a couple of hours, but did some very well received demos to a few of the seemingly limitless number of pilots who have no idea what Flight Simulator can do for them, or, in some cases, that it exists at all. I talked with someone and their publisher about something I can't talk about yet, and I met for a half hour with that guy who has that one airplane that's part of another project I can't talk about. He was very excited to help us out.
It's always remarkable to see assorted flavors of Flight Simulator running at so many other people's booths. There's at least half a dozen avionics manufacturers that you try their products while flying with ours. You'd think they'd at least say "thank you", but what are you going to do? It's not like we're the richest company in the world with an army of lawyers … Oh, wait. Actually, we love to see FS on display like that. The closer we come to ubiquity in the aviation world, the happier I'll be. And, to paraphrase Ian Fleming, nothing ubiqs like ubiquity.
I had a wrap-up interview today with Sky Blue Radio, and, in it, I said something convoluted about how time seems to be a bit schizophrenic at AirVenture – suddenly, it's the eve of the last day, and I'm only just now getting started … yet some part of me feels like I've been here for years. Regardless, tomorrow is the day when I get to clean up the mess I made, shipping all the stuff back to Redmond that I shipped out here before I left.
The thoughts of a lot of people here go out to the family of Gerald Beck, the pilot and builder of a scratch-built P-51A recreation that was killed in a formation landing collision with a P-51D in front of the crowd here yesterday. This was probably the only time in my life when I was glad not to see a Mustang. I heard the crash, and I've seen some pictures, and that's already too much. (The images aren't hard to find on the web – I can't bring myself to post any links here). There's supposed to be some solace in the fact that he died doing what he loved, and I hope that's the case for his friends and family. Doing the things we love to do, those rare and precious indulgences that nothing can keep us away from, these things are what give us life … for me, there's something particularly terrible when, in the random flash of an instant, they take it all back.
I suppose, however, that such is the risk of passion – the more we love something, the more power we give it to break our hearts.
Now that I've taken such a steep turn for the contemplative, I'm doing a lot more thinking than typing. Given that, I'll go ahead and offer up a few of my favorite pictures of the day (those taken by me, that is), then roll the dice and see if tonight's the night that I actually eke out more than 4 hours' sleep.
Flight Sim cockpits setup in the KidVenture hangar at Pioneer Airport. No, I don't have one of these at home, shut up. The same sort of thing, but for bigger and wealthier kids – Redbird Simulations shows their nicely constructed and immersive cockpit.
It fits, and it matches my shirt, too. I remembered today the first time I saw Jerry's One Man Band – I was 21, and thought his setup was spectacularly ridiculous. 18 years later, I realized just how much I count on him parked at the corner of Vern & Knapp, year after year. I'll probably buy one of his CD's tomorrow.
There's something so very promising about a biplane parked on the grass. Tailwheel airplanes have an optimistic stance and they sit literally looking up. That promise is somehow even richer at sunset: It isn't the bold "let's go, right now!" of a blue-gold sunny afternoon, but the warm aspirations of what's possible tomorrow. Serenity.
A BIG thanks Hal, for keeping us all informed about what you guys were getting up to at Oshkosh. Despite the lack of blog comments during the week, rest assured that many of us looked forward every day to your Oshkosh blog, and the photo\'s you included.
( Really like that little Autogyro, but will have to be content with a T-Shirt).
Thanks for everything – greatly appreciated.

Q: Is CQRS applicable with total ordered views and sharding? Merry Christmas everybody.
I am trying to solve a theoretical sharding problem out of my own curiosity and I think CQRS can help me achieve properties that I want of my data.

*

*I have too much data for a single thread or machine, so it is sharded.

*I want overall data throughput not to be limited by a single CPU core. This means that when threads access and edit the data is not limited by a shared mutex or lock.

*I want total ordering over the data.

*When I want total ordering of the data, I need pages at a time, not the entire data set.

*I am trying to achieve the best possible latency and throughput rates that are achievable with this architecture.

I am working on multithreaded and multiserver software and I'm trying to increase throughput by sharding data. The problem is that I also want total orderered views over this data.
Each thread maintains a sorted collection that can independently be inserted into and retrieved and deleted.
I also want to maintain a total order across shards for example on the homepage or on admin pages.
My previous stackoverflow question asked how to retrieve the Nth item of a multiple sorted collection which I think is relevant.
If I keep my data sorted on each shard, I can retrieve a page X of data with N operations which is rather slow and expensive.
So my idea is If I split my architecture into a total-order-architecture, a blob storage architecture where data is kept sorted and high throughput architecture where each shard serves requests for that shard. Is this appropriate?
Is this essentially a caching architecture? The read path is different to the write path, which is what CQRS is.

Q: Google API PHP Client Library on GAE I'm trying to implement a button, that when clicked, will upload a generic file to Google drive. The following code works fine on my local machine (using Google's SDK for local dev), but when uploaded to Google App Engine it can't get past the require_once statement in slowtest.php. Here is my code:
HTML file:

    ...

    ...

Data Page

Press the button to upload a file.

        <button onclick="upload()" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">Upload</button>

Return:

Calls upload() here:
function upload() {
    xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
        {
            document.getElementById("uploadedFiles").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
        }
    }
    xmlhttp.open("GET", "slowtest.php", true);
    xmlhttp.send();
}

And finally, the php file:
<?php

require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
echo 'success!';
?>

If I remove the 'require_once' line, 'success' is added to the paragraph line on the webpage. However, when it isn't commented out, nothing happens when the button is clicked.
There is no error output on the page, but a 500 error is outputted to the console.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
I've run the same code on the command line and it works. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be deeply appreciated.

A: Okay, I found the problem and it is pretty simple. I was referring to the google-api-php-client library as a static_dir, when instead none of the files are static.
Using the code from this question helped efficiently solve this:
- url: /google-api-php-client/(.?)/(.?)/(.*)
  script: google-api-php-client/\3/\2/\1.php
EDIT: See the comment by IanGSY below. You don't need to mention the google-api-php-client library at all in your app.yaml.

A: There is a detailed post here on getting the PHP API client working with App Engine, which as far as I know is still accurate and works correctly.
I would suggest following the instructions in this blog post and report back if it still does not work.
Also, definitely do not put any paths in the api client directory in your app.yaml file, as mentioned above.

William Walton, the journalist turned painter who chaired the Washington Fine Arts Commission from 1961 to 1971, was born in Jacksonville, Illinois. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, he pursued a career in journalism, ultimately working with the Associated Press in Chicago and as Time-Life war correspondent during World War II (when he parachuted into France with the 82nd Airborne Division to cover D-Day). In 1945 Time-Life moved him to Washington where he also edited for the New Republic. Four years later, he resigned his positions to concentrate on his (predominantly abstract expressionist) painting.
Walton played a key role supporting his Georgetown neighbor John Kennedy's 1960 Democratic presidential campaign by first working in the Wisconsin and West Virginia primaries and, after the convention, helping manage the New York campaign. He accompanied JFK to Val-Kill when the candidate sought ER's endorsement in August. President Kennedy then appointed Walton chair of the Fine Arts Commission where, working closely with Jacqueline Kennedy, he had a major impact on the preservation of historic Washington, especially in the restoration of Lafayette Square and the Renwick Gallery and the expansion of the National Gallery of Art. He also influenced the design of Dulles Airport and the Washington rapid transit system. He resumed writing and in 1966 wrote The Evidence of Washington, a photographic book chronicling the development of the national capital.
He returned to New York in 1975, where he died in 1994 from heart problems.

Remember I bought six sheep heads in order to get tongues for the Tail and Tongue Potjie recipe? Well, I had six head that were taking up too much space in my freezer. I gave some to some friends and decided on featuring recipes on the blog as well as on my column…..
When I was in Mpumalanga, I went to a traditional food restaurant called, TJ Corner in Sabie. Curiosity got the best of me and I ordered Inhloko (skopo). They serve it with a generous portion of pap and a selection of two vegetables. It was cooked in the form of a stew and it looked and tasted amazing.
Well, I recreated that recipe and you can find it on my Cape Times column today. I wanted to do something different with this one, I cooked it in the oven for 12 hours. I know some of my friends are gonna argue that it is too much electricity to spend on one dish. I won't even attempt to dispute that. Yes indeed it is a lot of hours. However, the results are a succulent, tender and tasty inhloko that falls off the bone. Hope you get to try it out. Enjoy!
1. Preheat oven to 110 degrees C.
2. Place the sheep head in a baking tray together with onion, garlic, stock powder, curry powders, thyme and season with salt and pepper.
3. Add water and cover with foil.
4. Cook in the oven overnight.
5. Serve with pap or steam bread.

Q: Are AC circuits limited to only a serial connection? What would happen if you set a condensator, a resistor and a solenoid all parallel to each other in an AC circuit? Would it not work or is there a way?

A: Yes it would work fine, and here's how.
At low frequencies, the inductor looks like a low impedance, and shunts low frequency signals to ground. At high frequencies, the capacitor looks like a low impedance, and shunts high frequencies to ground. At inbetween frequencies, the resistor looks like an ordinary resistance and shunts a bit of all frequencies to ground.
The result is a bandpass filter, a circuit in common use in audio applications. The high and low cutoffs are determined by sizes of the inductor and the capacitor. The sharpness of the bandpass effect is set by the size of the resistor: the smaller it is, the less sharp the high and low frequency cutoffs are. Omitting it entirely makes the bandpass characteristic more selective and "peaked" in the midrange frequencies.

Read more about Royal Flush Gang at: Wikipedia
Official Site: DC
The Royal Flush Gang or RFG are fictional character in DC Comics. They first appeared in Justice League of America #43 in March 1966 under the leadership of Professor Amos Fortune.
They are a group of playing card-themed supervillain who are usually thwarted by the superhero they encounter. They have code names based on a royal flush in poker i.e. Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten.
The original Royal Flush Gang was Professor Amos Fortune's childhood gang. With Fortune himself as Ace, they fought the Justice League on two occasions, using Fortune's luck-altering "stellaration" technology to realize the fortune-telling significance of playing cards. After Fortune abandoned the Gang, they attempted to steal paintings containing clues to a hidden treasure but were thwarted by the Joker's manipulations (Joker #6). Most of them then abandoned their criminal careers, although Jack briefly joined the Secret Society of Super Villains as "Hi-Jack". Fortune's gang wore costumes based on the suit of clubs.
In the pages of JLA Classified, it was revealed the original Royal Flush Gang (sans Amos Fortune) reunited to fight the "Detroit Era" Justice League and their successors in the second gang. In this battle, the original King, Queen, and Ten were all killed.

A combination of pressure and rubbing may be the cause of blisters on the feet. Incorrect footwear could be the culprit if your foot does not fit into the shoe properly. This can lead to friction against the foot which may cause a blister to occur. Wearing shoes without socks can be another cause of blisters, in addition to wearing new footwear that has not been broken in. There are several remedies for treating blisters, including proper bandages which may help delicate skin and sole inserts that have extra padding to reduce pressure on the feet. It is also important to keep your feet dry to help prevent blisters from forming. Applying talcum powder before an activity may help reduce moisture around the feet. Once a blister develops, it may be beneficial to protect the skin and allow it to heal on its own. If the blister has difficulty healing or changes color, a consultation with a podiatrist is advised.
Blisters are prone to making everyday activities extremely uncomfortable. If your feet are hurting, contact Dr. Rick L. Simon of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
