Supreme Council of Energy issues Directive number 1 of 2017 on the establishment and installation of electric vehicle charging stations in Dubai
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, has issued Directive number 1 of 2017 on the establishment and installation of electric vehicle charging stations in Dubai. This directive states that all public and private organisations and developers in Dubai must get approvals from Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) before establishing, installing, operating or maintaining any electric vehicle charging station. In turn, DEWA will coordinate with Dubai Municipality (DM) and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to ensure that electric vehicle charging stations meet the technical requirements and standards adopted by the relevant authorities.
"The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy has issued Directive number 1 of 2017 to achieve sustainability based on the best global standards and practices that meet DEWA's technical requirements. This supports the wise vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to enhance sustainable development," said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of Energy.
"Under the umbrella of the Supreme Council of Energy, DEWA and the RTA intend to implement the Dubai Green Transport initiative to promote the use of electric and hybrid cars, and reduce carbon emissions caused by land transport. This supports the Dubai Plan 2021, and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to make Dubai the city with the lowest carbon footprint in the world by 2050. This also supports the Dubai Carbon Abatement Strategy to reduce 16% of carbon emissions by 2021," added Al Tayer.
"The Supreme Council of Energy is working to increase the percentage of electric and hybrid cars in Dubai. It issued Directive number 1 of 2016 to set a target for the government. Therefore, at least 10% of all newly-purchased cars will be electric or hybrid from 2016 to 2020. The proportion of electric and hybrid cars will rise to 2% by 2020, and 10% by 2030," said HE Ahmad Al Muhairbi, Secretary General of the Supreme Council.
"Electricity tariffs at the charging stations will be clearly defined by the Government of Dubai. DEWA will duly adhere to these tariffs. We urge the public and private sectors to collaborate with each other to achieve these ambitious targets," added Al Muhairbi.
DEWA has successfully installed 100 electric vehicle charging stations in different areas in Dubai, in cooperation with many stakeholders who helped to identify the most appropriate locations for the stations. Locations include Dubai Airports, Dubai Municipality, the RTA, shopping malls, petrol stations, hotels, parking areas and Developer's locations.

Backyard pecan growers can't effectively use fungicides to fight diseases in their trees. They must grow varieties with disease resistance. A new one provides protection and a big nut, too.
The Excel variety was discovered on a farm in Pierce County, Ga. It has been patented and is sold at Clough Pecan Nursery in Blackshear, Ga. Like the Elliott, Summer and Gloria Grande varieties, it has strong resistance to scab, pecan's most troublesome disease.
Excel bears a relatively good crop at an early age. It has a large nut, producing about 50 nuts per pound. The kernels are a golden color and store well. The quality is good, but its shell thickness reduces the percentage of kernel in the nut. It shells well, though, and kernels fall out in full, complete halves.
A large nut size means the variety will need plenty of water in August and September. This variety can be harvested in late September through early October in most years.
Its thin limbs and sparse leaf canopy give it a willowy look. This allows for good air circulation and sunlight, which prevents insect and other disease damage.
Most pecan trees are alternate-bearing, meaning they produce a full crop every other year. This is always a problem to consider when speculating over the choice of a pecan variety. Since Excel is a relatively new variety, we don't know a lot about its alternate-bearing tendencies. But when it gets older, it may suffer from alternate-bearing.
Anyone growing pecans should remain aware that scab resistance of any variety may only be temporary. The more widespread a variety, the greater chance it has to lose its scab resistance. This is simply a hazard that anyone growing pecans in the Southeast must face.
The most popular commercial pecan variety in Georgia, the Desirable, was immune to scab when first introduced and is now known as one of the most highly susceptible varieties.
Still, for homeowners, scab control should be the top priority. It does no good to make nuts every year, if they are annually covered in scab lesions. At the moment, no other variety offers the large nut size, early harvest and scab immunity of Excel.
Remember to keep the soil around newly planted trees moist until established. You need at least two pecan varieties in the home orchard to ensure adequate pollination.
For more information on pecan varieties and production go to the Web site www.tifton.uga.edu/ugapecan or contact your local University of Georgia Cooperative Extension office at 1-800-ASK-UGA1.

Sarah Jarosz
by Sandor Slomovits
From the September, 2014 issue
Sarah Jarosz's first recording was nominated for a Grammy before she even finished high school. Last year, soon after she graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, her third album also received a Grammy nomination.
But Jarosz is not interested in being in a class by herself. She seems to thrive on collaborating with other musical wunderkinder--and wunderelders, for that matter. She is solidly in the school of postmodern acoustic musicians that includes the likes of bassist Edgar Meyer, mandolinist Chris Thile, banjo player Bela Fleck, and many others, who are learning from and teaching one another how to erase the boundaries among classical, folk, roots, jazz, and other genres of music. There is no head of that class, no valedictorian in that group, but Jarosz is perhaps unique in the breadth of her musical abilities. She is a highly developed performer and composer on mandolin, banjo, and guitar; one of her instrumental pieces, "Mansinneedof," also received a Grammy nomination. But she's a compelling singer as well, and a songwriter of uncommon poetry and power.
Like impressionistic paintings that allow viewers to complete the pictures in their own imaginations, her lyrics often feature subtle and stunning images. On "Build Me Up From Bones" she sings, "The moon's a fingernail / scratching on the back / of the night in which we lay beside." And, like the richest art in any medium, her songs work on many levels. What appears to be a straightforward love song turns out to be possibly also a singer singing to her instrument or even to her music. Again from "Build Me Up From Bones": "I held every inch of you / I wrote every line for you / I made time when time was all but gone / You're the love I've always known." Her voice, constantly changing in timbre, by turns breathy or belting, fuzzy or focused, is the ideal instrument to convey these songs, perfectly mirroring both the complexity and
the directness of her melodies and words.
Jarosz has been touring and recording for most of her career with fiddler Alex Hargreaves and cellist Nathaniel Smith. Even younger than she is, they are the ideal complements to her vocal and instrumental prowess. In concert their virtuosity allows them to create a thicker, more intricate orchestral sound than seems possible for a trio.
On "Rearrange the Art," Jarosz sings, "The masterpiece that lies within this room / has yet to leave these halls / and break through every door." In her short career Jarosz has already compiled a body of work that artists twice her age would be proud of, but it's probably true that her masterworks are still ahead of her. We have much to look forward to but a great deal to enjoy right now.
Sarah Jarosz and her trio return to the Ark on Friday, September 5.

Hush Now
Rather than just talk about a band I would recommend going to see tomorrow night at Schubas, I asked Michael Hush, lead of pop-rockers Five Foot Nine, to tell me his favorite pop culture tidbits from 2008 (Now that it's over).
Before I get all list-y, the Five Foot Nine play fresh, clever, well-arranged rock that most immediately reminds me of Brooklyn's Bishop Allen. Both bands combine tasteful guy/gal harmonies, tight rhythm sections, and great sing-along choruses with charm to spare. Local swaggering glam-punk poppers The Handcuffs are also playing.
MP3: Five Foot Nine, "Back to the Tunnels" (file courtesy of Radio Free Chicago)
Here's were Mike's Pop Picks of 2008.
Books: as for fiction… Here are 3 novels that I really admired this year
Denis Johnson, "Tree of Smoke"
Michael Chabon, "Yiddish Policeman's Union"
The Lazarus Project, "Alexander Hemon"
Sally Hawkins in Happy Go Lucky
Bonny Prince Billy
Probably Holiday Inn Express spot where the geeky marketing dude displays his dope rhyming skills on the corner in NY…

Boys & Girls Mix
For a while I've been wanting to make a mix of bands that swap vocals between guys and gals, but, as I really like that sound, I feel like I have too many songs that fall under that category. Like, ya know, Belle & Sebastian, Stars and half of my itunes.
So, for this 'lil boy/girl mix I was trying to avoid some of the obvious tracks, but they pretty much seeped in anyway. I also tried to stay in the folk/pop vein so you're going to miss some of those great hip-hop/electro girl/boy vocals, namely: Positive K's "I Gotta Man", Human League's "Don't You Want Me", Postal Service's "Nothing Better", Streets' "Get Out of My House".
Because of the inherent drama of boys and girls harmonizing, most of the songs have some "relationship" content, be it lovey-dovey or breakup-y. Also, it makes for a pretty even-keeled, laid-back type mix and one which you should be careful while listening to if you're driving and feeling a bit sleepy. So, after all that, enjoy!

View more >Bone biopsy is a common procedure in bone disease diagnoses, therapies and research. In this procedure, bone biopsy needles are inserted into bone tissues. Although needle insertion into bone is often essential for the diagnosis of bone diseases, the hard tissue-needle interactions are not quantitatively understood. In this paper, we describe a quantitative assessment of forces involved in insertion of healthy trabecular bone using clinically applied Jamshidi CrownTM bone biopsy needles of gauge 8 (4-mm diameter). The measured forces were related to the insertion depths up to 25 mm and insertion rates of 1 mm/s to 5 mm/s. At the initial insertion stage, a clear linear force-depth relation was measured. With the increase of the insertion depth, the forces increased nonlinearly. In the final stage of insertion, the forces increased much more quickly at the lower insertion ate than that at the higher insertion rate. The maximum insertion force reached pproximately 1000 N when the insertion depth reached 25 mm at the insertion rate of 1 m/s.

Hello and welcome to the Banner video tutorial series.
This video is intended to help you setup and monitor an inspection with more than one sensor.
For this example, we're starting with a match sensor already set up and taught to recognize the Banner logo.
We're going to add a blemish sensor to the same inspection to ensure the space beneath the logo is clear of any prints.
Start by clicking on the setup icon, then select inspection.
Clicking sensors will open the current inspection and allow you to see the sensors you already have defined.
Each inspection can include up to five to seven match area and/or blemish sensors.
Click add sensor and select blemish as your sensor type.
Click the Blemish1 button to start editing your new sensor.
Click ROI type and we'll resize the ROI for the space beneath the logo.
Clicking the home icon will take us back to the run screen.
If you click on an area of the screen where two or more ROIs overlap, you will be asked to select which sensor you're trying to edit.
Select 'blemish' at the top of the screen for a shortcut to the sensor setup.
Choose 'Pass Count' then set the max value at zero pixels to ensure nothing is present in this region.
Click Home then Trigger to verify both sensors are working properly.
Go to the history screen. Here you can see statistics for pass/fail for the individual sensors or the inspection as a whole.
This information might be helpful to identify a specific feature on your part as failing more frequently than others, providing you with an opportunity to address this part of your process sooner and minimize waste.
Switching back to our original view of the main window, we can continue to watch as our inspection runs with multiple sensors set up.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this Banner video tutorial.


In economics, a shock is an unexpected or unpredictable event that affects an economy, either positively or negatively. Technically, it refers to an unpredictable change in exogenous factors—that is, factors unexplained by economics—which may have an impact on endogenous economic variables.
The response of economic variables, like output and employment, at the time of the shock and at subsequent times, is measured by an impulse response function.
If the shock is due to constrained supply, it is called a supply shock and usually results in price increases for a particular product. A technology shock is the kind resulting from a technological development that affects productivity. Inflationary shock happens when prices of commodities increase abruptly (e.g. following government subsidies cut) while not all salaries are adjusted immediately throughout society (this leads to a temporary loss of purchasing power for many consumers); or that production costs fall behind corporate revenues for the same set of reasons (e.g. following energy price hikes).
Shocks can also be produced when accidents or disasters occur. The 2008 Western Australian gas crisis resulting from a pipeline explosion at Varanus Island is one example.
In the context of microeconomics, shocks are also studied at the household level such as health, income, and consumption shocks. For example, in development microeconomics the relationship between household income shocks and household levels of consumption are studied to understand a household's ability to insure itself (testing the full-insurance hypothesis).

The Master's degree programme imparts the specialised scientific, didactic and educational knowledge, skills and abilities which are required to take up preparatory training for teaching positions in secondary schools. In addition, students acquire research-related qualifications. In the Master's degree programme on the subject of history, methodological knowledge is applied to concrete research situations. Furthermore, the students focus on acquiring knowledge about the specific features of each historical epoch or the research area. Over and above the purely subject-oriented specialised training, special emphasis is placed on imparting knowledge about prerequisites and experiences to engage students to independently teach and enjoy the subject of history.
The research foci include the field of early medieval history, the history of Christian hagiography, the roles of women and gender in history and the issues relating to communication and media. As far as the High and Late Middle Ages are concerned, main interest is directed at the social history of European societies from a comparative perspective and the study of intercultural transfer processes and historical relationship systems. In the area of Modern Times, research deals with environmental, social and legal history, the history of administration, the sciences, crime, and religion, and historical anthropology. The research priorities, as far as the 20th century and contemporary history are concerned, are the fields of political culture of the interwar years and the origin and development of totalitarian systems.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Residents are outraged at a proposed funeral home and crematory on North Council Rd. It would be just feet away from a neighborhood and right next door to a senior living center.
"If I knew a crematorium was going in there, I would have never bought a house here," John Flynn said.
Mercer-Adams Funeral Service says it needs more room and a crematory, which would be built on the back side of the building.
"The cremation percentage has increased to the point where its economically feasible to have our own," Gary Mercer said.
But a group of neighbors say they don't want the smell of death floating in their backyard. They are also concerned about mercury being released into the air.
"If you have mercury amalgams in your mouth from dental work there will be mercury emissions, and many older people do," Lucinda Ritchey said.
Residents also worry their property values could decrease. President of Mercer-Adams Funeral Service, Gary Mercer, says those are just fears.
"There's no place here in the metro area that has a crematory nearby properties in the northwest quadrant of Oklahoma City that has been negatively impacted by a crematory," Mercer said.
So we asked someone who currently lives near one. One woman says she was originally opposed to a crematory being built across the street from her in Edmond, but after it was built she says nothing changed, and there is no smell.
But that doesn't change the minds of some Bethany residents.
"The entire community is against it, and we're counting on our city council to protect us like they promised they would when we elected them," Kevin Davis said.
The Department of Environmental Quality says crematory emissions are not high enough for them to need a permit.

James Myers was an American politician who served as the second lieutenant governor of Ohio from 1854 to 1856.

Biography
James Myers was born in June 1795 in Dutchess County, New York of German ancestry. When young, his parents moved to Albany and then Schenectady, where he grew up. During the War of 1812, he volunteered during the summer of 1813, and served on the northern frontier in the winter campaign under general Wade Hampton. The next summer he was stationed at Brooklyn Heights, near New York City.

After the war ended, Myers farmed and engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1823 or 1825, he became collector of tolls at Schenectady on the new Erie Canal, until 1836, when he moved to Toledo, Ohio.

In Toledo, Myers became involved with the construction of the Miami and Erie Canal. After completion of the canal, he concentrated on property management and real estate. He was elected to two terms under Ohio's first constitution to the Ohio State Senate, to represent much of Northwest Ohio starting in 1848. Under the new constitution, he served a single term as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio as a Democrat.

He was in feeble health beginning in the mid-1850s, but served a two-year term as a representative from Lucas County in the Ohio House of Representatives during the American Civil War, after nomination by the Union convention.

Myers' health further declined, and after much pain, he died July 19, 1864 at his home, northwest corner of Jefferson and Superior Streets, Toledo.

With as many as seven players unavailable, for a variety of reasons, from the previous Saturday, it was a much changed Dinas Powis team that made the long trip to Aberdare, to take on a usually strong Harlequins team, for their third league game of the season.
Despite the changes in personnel and positions Dinas chartered their way through the first third of the match well, and after seven ends the score was very close, at 26-25 to the home team, with nothing in any of the four rinks.
Indeed through the middle third of the game three of the Dinas rinks continued to keep up the tempo, with Clive Todd's rink tied at 10 apiece, Mike Ackland just two behind at 13-15 and Ritchie Janes three down at 13-16. Unfortunately for the villagers Gareth Griffith's quintet had a horrible run, dropping 16 shots, including a seven on end 11, as they fell away to trail by 15 shots at 5-20.
With the home team scenting blood they stepped up the pace and sadly Dinas were unable to find the desired response. Janes and Ackland kept their rinks in contention, before slipping to defeat by five and six shots respectively. Clive Todd's rink, who lead 11-10 after 15 ends, dropped away to lose by 10 and Griffiths' rink just didn't recover, dropping a further six shots on end 15 before plummeting to a disappointing 9-33 defeat.
Captain Dave Parker will no doubt hope to have a fuller roster to pick from next Saturday, 4th July, when Dinas face a tricky away trip to Skewen in Round 2 of the Carruthers Shield.

November 5, 2016 News By DONNA BALANCIA, California Rocker Interview, Musicians Comments Off on Cindy Lee Berryhill To Release New Album, 'The Adventurist,' Truly a Transcendent Labor of Love

By DONNA BALANCIA
Cindy Lee Berryhill is a "Lover of Love" and that comes through loud and clear on her new album, The Adventurist.
Cindy Lee, a fixture in the LA music scene who now lives in Encinitas, gave CaliforniaRocker.com a sneak listen to the album, which will be released on March 10 on Omnivore Records.
Pre-order Available Now
Pre-Order The Adventurist on Amazon and on iTunes now.
Cindy Lee will perform at McCabe's on April 2.
"We all have our drugs of choice mine is love," Cindy Lee said. "I made a decision to write an album in honor of the love I shared with my husband. I'm very excited, it's my first very focused work since the '90s."
The Adventurist is Cindy Lee's first album since all of her years of caregiving her ailing husband, rock writer Paul Williams. Paul passed away in March of 2013 from complications of a brain injury.
The songs on the album are songs of love, attraction and desire. One simple and succinct song we like on the album is "American Cinematography."
"It's the same thing behind the album that's behind the song," she said. "Each song is a tone poem to love and desire and the chemical soup of feelings you have when you fall in love. 'American Cinematography,' for me, is when you're in love with somebody and you look at your beloved, it's like you're shooting a film. It's beautiful and it's love."
The Love Affair With Cindy Lee Berryhill
Cindy Lee's unique sound has earned her a spot in music lovers' hearts. She put out her first album Who's Gonna Save The World? in 1987 and it was followed up in 1989 with Naked Movie Star.

In 1999, she published the book, Memoirs of A Female Messiah, which was released along with a live album called Living Room 16.
She has chronicled her experiences in her blog, Beloved Stranger.
Cindy Lee is happy to be back in the recording studio and performing while raising her son, Alexander.
But despite dealing with serious issues life has dealt, Cindy Lee has kept an upbeat attitude. It's her positive vibe that keeps her a fan favorite.
And now that she's back into music full time, would she consider moving back to LA any time in the near future?
"I do have commitment to my son," she said. "I have a commitment to have him continue high school here. That's partly because I grew up where every three years we moved, so I've grown to love consistency. "
"Encinitas is 100 miles from LA and I live two blocks from the beach, how can you get better than that?"
Overcoming Rough Patches
The road has not always been smooth for Cindy Lee. Coping with her husband's afflictions and trying to keep her family and career in tact was a challenge. And during this time in the 1990s, there wasn't so much information in the news about head trauma.
"My husband had a brain injury," she said. "It was very difficult towards the end, especially. Seven years after the injury, things started to go south."
She observed that all these years the news related to football injuries leading to dementia has put her fight by her husband's side into focus.
"From 2004 on, I was Paul's caregiver," she said. "But we had a child in 2001, Alexander, and he is doing amazing."
Cindy Lee said that today it's all about moving forward.
"At a certain point I really wanted to write a song about love and attraction, but how you need transcendence," she said.
A New Digital World of Music
Cindy Lee is returning to a business that has changed drastically even over the last 20 years.
"When I grew up, you fell in love with the record, and then you went to see artist," she said. "Now it's the other way around."
Cindy Lee has a strong connection to trends in the music industry because of her "day" job — she's a guitar teacher. She said kids today use a different route to find music they like.
"I'm priviledged working with young people every day," she said. "Young people are finding music through computer games and TV shows; They know older songs and that's through their parents. It's secondary to the games."
As music is being discovered through TV advertisements, is that considered selling out?
"TV commercials and movies are the way people are discovering the music today," she said. "So the only thing that's a sellout is if you hate the product. If it's something to get behind, then that's great."

Long Lost - Wolf 1979 Series
Wolf Racing was founded by Canadian Oil Magnet Walter Wolf in 1977 after an ill feted start made in partnership with Frank Williams in 1976.
The Wolf team with Dr Harvey Postlethwaite designing the cars came flying right out of the box in Argentina 1977 scoring a debut win with Jody Scheckter at the wheel of the Wolf WR1. Scheckter impressed further by driving to two more wins in 1977. The 1977 series Wolf design ran WR1 - WR3 same as the chassis numbers.
During the following season the second series Wolf WR4 - WR6, with ground effects side pods that were all the rage in 1978, was less impressive and Jody, who had been courted by Ferrari well before his Wolf contract was up, left to join the red team from Maranello.
The third series Wolf, which ran WR7 to WR9, apparently seen here at The Cotswold Motoring Museum, was designed by Dr Harvey Postlethwaite who had been reunited with former Hesketh driver James Hunt for the 1979 season.
As ironic luck would have it former Wolf driver Jody Scheckter would go on to win the 1979 World Drivers Championship in his first season with Ferrari while ex World Champion James Hunt quit the Wolf Team after the Monaco Grand Prix having struggled to qualify better than 10th in seven races and scored one 8th place finish and six retirements.
Keke Rosberg took over the driving duties for the rest of the year but with no improvement in the teams performance Walter Wolf sold his team onto the equally struggling Fittipaldi brothers at the end of 1979.
Walter Wolf kept one of the third series cars while Fittipaldi upgraded the remaining two cars into Fittipaldi F7 spec with a centre post rear wing and heavily revised side pods with out the rear flick ups and built a third F7 from scratch.
The Fittipaldi F7 cars all but disappeared from public view in the early 80's. According to the museum description provided by the cars owner Andrew Smith by 1982 the Fittipaldi Team was in administration and all of the teams assets were acquired by ADA Engineering.
Andrew a James Hunt fan, and former Mini racer, saw WR7 race, with Keke Rosberg driving, at Silverstone in 1979 and bought the car from ADA Engineering with a Cosworth DFV engine. Some of the third series Wolf style body work, and unique '79 Monaco spec twin element front wings have been refitted to this chassis which still has F7 running gear, a Fittipaldi in Wolf clothing.
At this moment there are inconsistencies in the accounts as to which third series Wolf chassis became which Fittipaldi F7 chassis. Not having seen which, if any, chassis plate this particular vehicle, seen at the Cotswold Motoring Museum, is carrying I cannot be sure exactly which, of the two Wolf chassis or three Fittipaldi chassis this is.
If you have evidence as to which of the Wolf third series chassis were transformed into the Fittipaldi F7 series chassis please chime in below or send me an e-mail to the address which appears at the very bottom of the blog page.
My thanks to Steve Holter, and Norman Jones from The Nostalgia Forum for their contributions to today's blog.
Hope you have enjoyed todays Wolf edition of 'Gettin' a lil' psycho on tyres' and that you will join me again tomorrow for a look at a world champions daily driver that is coming up for auction on Saturday. Don't forget to come back now !

In 2005, Chopin Mon Ami began as a small catering company operating in Galveston. They started catering for UTMB and small weddings.
After 6 months in business, they quickly grew into a full-fledge catering company for weddings and corporate events on Galveston Island. They are proud of the fact that Chopin Mon Ami rose to success without any advertising. They grew slowly by client referrals, which proves the quality of their business.
Today Chopin Mon Ami caters over 70 events annually, for which they thank their wonderful clients.
Call ahead for appointment or to reserve dinners. Meals must be picked up between 4pm & 6pm.
I've seen the ads for the Shrimp Burger at Chopin Mon Ami and they got my taste buds on alert, so I had to try one. My previous meals from there have been carry-out evening meals, all home-cooking comfort food and quite satisfying. But for quite awhile now CMA has had a dining room in addition to their traditional take-out and catering so I decided to dine-in there.
The place is airy and light with simple decor and plenty of seating. Ordering is at the counter, with food delivered to the table when ready. The owners are the staff and are very friendly and courteous.
Food choices are multiple but we were there for one thing: our Shrimp Burgers. There are numerous choices of bread with the sandwiches—all baked on the premises—and a variety of vegetable sides. My friend and I both ordered our Shrimp Burgers, with whole wheat buns. I selected potato salad for my vegetable.
What a fine lunch! The burger was almost all large chunks of shrimp, breaded enough to hold together in a grilled patty. Made me proud to be a Gulf Coast-er! Seasoning was satisfying and did not overwhelm the fresh shrimp taste. Warning: this is not a diet meal! One burger could easily be shared to two persons (although I consumed all of mine). Potato salad was just like mom used to make, only better. I do wish they had more green vegetable choices.
We needed something sweet to top off our lunch. They had a wide offering of tasty and tempting baked good. We decided to go "light" and share a piece of Coca Cola cake. How perfect! It was a delicious as any I've had; ditto my buddy who has been known to bake a bit herself.
Overall we had a great lunch, in a convivial atmosphere. Their food is down-home, simple, and good eats, whether you eat-in or take out.

Health care worker serial killer suspect smothered 17 elderly women, stole cash and jewelry: Prosecutors
by KC Wildmoon
2,236 Shares Tweet
A suspected serial killer accused of killing 14 elderly north Texas residents was indicted for three more deaths this week, and authorities say he has been linked to another seven deaths, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Billy Chemirmir, 48, has been charged with 17 counts of capital murder and two counts of attempted capital murder in two north Texas counties.
Chemirmir allegedly posed as a home health care worker or maintenance worker to gain entry to the victims' homes before smothering and robbing them of jewelry, cash, and other items, as CrimeOnline previously reported. Most of the attacks took place in senior living facilities.
Get your daily crime on! Breaking crime and justice news on 'Crime Stories with Nancy Grace'
Chemirmir's arrest came after an attack on a woman on March 19, 2018, when a 91-year-old Plano woman said a man forced his way into her apartment at Preston Place Retirement Community, telling her, "Go to the bed. Don't fight me." She said he put a pillow over her face until she lost consciousness. A friend found her later and called 911. This woman provided a description of her attacker, and police identified Chemirmir as a suspect.
The next day, they arrested Chemirmir at his Plano apartment on outstanding warrants and retrieved a jewelry box from a dumpster where he tossed it. The box had the name of Lu Thi Harris, an 81-year-old woman who lived in Dallas. Dallas police found Harris's body in her bedroom; her son identified the jewelry box and a set of keys found in Chemirmir's car as his mother's.
On March 21, Chermirmir was arrested for Harris's death and the attacks on the Plano woman and a 93-year-old Frisco woman who identified Chemirmir from a photo lineup as the man who said he was a maintenance worker on October 29, 2017, before forcing his way inside. He tried to smother her with a pillow and took her jewelry, she said.
Indictments on those three attacks and 11 other deaths came down by summer 2019, and in February 2020, two more murder indictments were handed down. Chemirmir, who maintains his innocence, has been charged with killing:
May 14, 2016: Phyllis Payne, 91, Edgemere senior living facility in Dallas
June 5, 2016: Phoebe Perry, 94, Edgemere in Dallas
July 18, 2016: Joyce Abramowitz, 82, The Tradition-Prestonwood senior living facility in Dallas
July 31, 2016: Juanita Purdy, 82, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
August 19, 2016: Leah Corken, 83, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
August 28, 2016: Margaret White, 86, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
October 8, 2016: Norma French, 85, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
October 30, 2016: Doris Gleason, 92, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
October 31, 2017: Minnie Campbell, 84, Preston Place Retirement Community, Plano
December 24, 2017: Doris Wasserman, 90, The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas
December 31, 2017: Carolyn MacPhee, 81, in her Plano home
January 19, 2018: Rosemary Curtis, 75, in her Dallas home
January 31, 2018: Mary Brooks, 88, in her Richardson home
March 4, 2018: Martha Williams, 80, Preston Place Retirement Community, Plano
March 9, 2018: Miriam Nelson, 81, Preston Place Retirement Community, Plano
March 18, 2018: Ann Conklin, 82, Preston Place Retirement Community, Plano
March 20, 2018: Lu Thi Harris, 81, in her Dallas home
The newest indictments are for Joyce Abramowitz, Margaret White, and Doris Wasserman, all of whom died at The Tradition-Prestonwood in Dallas.
Officials are looking at several other cases as well, including at least one man and a woman who died at Edgemere in April 2016. Families of some of the victims have filed suit against the senior living facilities for failure to protect them; in some cases, those lawsuits led to indictments.
Paul Abramowitz, Joyce Abramowitz's son who told the Dallas Morning News that he was an executive at several nursing homes for years, said the facilities should be held responsible.
"Because I came out of the industry, I'm disgusted," he said. "It looks like this guy went shopping each week at The Tradition."
At one point in 2016, Chemirmir was arrested for trespassing at the Edgemere and sentenced to 70 days in jail. He was released on good behavior after 12 days.
Chemirmir, a citizen of Kenya, maintains his innocence and is being held on an $11.6 million bail. Prosecutors have announced they are seeking the death penalty when his trial begins next year.

All the last Pritzker awardees were part of architecture's star system until the Australian Glenn Murcutt came around, an unclassifiable figure foreign to the mediatic circles, that not only credits the award as much as his illustrious predecessors, but also adds an alternative tone that previous editions lacked. Born by chance in London in 1936, Murcutt was trained in the miesian rigor and was seduced by Jean Prouvé's constructional precision and the experimental passion of the Eames, though what gives his oeuvre an exceptional character – and has earned him the label of 'ecological functionalist' – is the combination of these references with an in-depth knowledge of the landscapes and the vernacular traditions of his country. Giovanni Agnelli, J. Carter Brown, Ada Louise Huxtable, Carlos Jiménez, Lord Rothschild and Jorge Silvetti were part of the jury that selected Murcutt; the architect, who works alone and has built, almost exclusively, elementary houses of wood and sheet whose perfection lies in their formal and material economy, received this unexpected recognition in the Roman Campidoglio, on 29 May.

The information on the programme page reflects the intended programme structure against the given academic session. If you are a current student you can find structure information on the previous year link at the top of the page or through your Department. Please read the important notice regarding changes to programmes and modules.
Our teaching and learning approach is designed to support and encourage students in their own process of self-learning, and to develop their own ideas, responses and critique of international development practice and policy.
We do this through a mixture of lectures, and more student-centred learning approaches (including tutorials and seminars). Teaching combines innovative use of audio-visual materials, practical exercises, group discussions, and weekly guided reading and discussions, as well as conventional lecturing.
In addition to the taught part of the masters programme, all students will write a 10,000 word dissertation. Students develop their research topic under the guidance and supervision of an academic member of the Department. Students are encouraged to explore a particular body of theory or an academic debate relevant to their programme through a focus on a particular region.
All Masters programmes consist of 180 credits, made up of taught modules of 30 or 15 credits, taught over 10 or 20 weeks, and a dissertation of 60 credits. The programme structure shows which modules are compulsory and which optional.
As a rough guide, 1 credit equals approximately 10 hours of work. Most of this will be independent study, including reading and research, preparing coursework, revising for examinations and so on. It will also include class time, which may include lectures, seminars and other classes. Some subjects, such as learning a language, have more class time than others. At SOAS, most postgraduate modules have a one hour lecture and a one hour seminar every week, but this does vary.
More information is on the page for each module.
SOAS Library is one of the world's most important academic libraries for the study of Africa, Asia and the Middle East, attracting scholars from all over the world. The Library houses over 1.2 million volumes, together with significant archival holdings, special collections and a growing network of electronic resources.

Protecting pipes against cold now saves money, headaches later
Nick Coltrain
If you haven't wrapped outdoor pipes in insulation or put heat on outdoor pumps, stop reading this and do it now. It might save you a headache later.
"If (people) don't have them wrapped today, they're going to be sad tomorrow," said Don Bennett, president of Athens Plumbing and Well Service, on Monday.
The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory Monday morning warning that windchill can push the temperature below zero. While it can whip frostbite into your veins in a matter of moments, it can pop pipes and pumps with equal ease, Bennett said.
"The most damage will come from people's pipes in people's homes," he said. "Anywhere that's not insulated sufficiently, the pipes will freeze and then they'll burst and there will be water damage."
He advised finding all outdoor pipes, especially those exposed to that bone-brittling wind, and insulating it. For outdoor wells and pumphouses, try and get a heat source on it, even if it's as simple as a light bulb.
Many folks joke about plumbers loving the deluge of business during weather like this - and it does get busier - but that doesn't mean Bennett and his team look forward to it.
"Hey, it's cold out there doing that work," he quipped, adding, "You're not only out there repairing something, but you've got 10 other people waiting on you."

La Torre de Couso, (siglo XVI), también llamada Casa Grande de Maindo, es un pazo-fortaleza situado en la parroquia de Santa María de Couso, La Estrada, (Pontevedra). Se encuentra a orillas del rio Ulla, cerca del Pazo de Ximonde y con jurisdicción sobre el coto salmonero de Couso, pero en la orilla pontevedresa. Perteneció al patrimonio nobiliario de los Condes de Gimonde.

Descripción del pazo

La Torre de Couso, o Casa grande de Maindo, es una pequeña fortaleza construida dentro de un recinto amurallado que incluye un hórreo. De planta rectangular, consta de planta baja y un piso. Tiene dos puertas de acceso, una de ellas con arco de medio punto y la otra con arco apuntado.  Las dos están formadas por grandes losas de piedra con un pequeño escudo esculpido. En la fachada meridional hay vanos rectangulares y un escudo. El escudo está fechado en 1530 según consta en una lápida en la entrada.

Historia
La Torre de Couso perteneció a los Condes de Gimonde.

El primer titular del Condado de Gimonde (o Ximonde) fue D. Juan Antonio Cisneros de Castro y de la Barrera  (1721-1798), Regidor Perpetuo de la ciudad de Santiago y Señor del Coto de Gimonde, de la Torre de Couso, del Pazo de Anzobre y del Castillo de Mirón, entre otras propiedades.

Su hijo, segundo titular del condado de Gimonde, y en consecuencia también del Señorío sobre la Torre de Couso fue D. Pedro Cisneros de Castro y Ulloa  nacido en San Miguel de Sarandón, Vedra (La Coruña) el 2 de diciembre de 1770.  Se casó con Dª Agustina de Puga y Araujo, y tuvo una única hija, Dª Jacoba Cisneros de Puga, III Condesa de Gimonde, que falleció en Santiago de Compostela en 1860, a los 53 años de edad.

Al no tener descendencia la Condesa, heredó su patrimonio su primo Manuel Maria Puga Feijoo que fijó su residencia en el Pazo de Anzobre y cedió la Torre de Couso a su hija, Dª Gumersinda Puga Blanco, casada con el Catedrático de la Universidad de Santiago, D. Jesús Novoa López, fallecido en 1911.

Le sucedió como heredera del Pazo su hija Dª. Carmen Novoa Puga, cónyuge de D. Salvador Lissarrague Molezún.  Y posteriormente, le sucedió la hija de ambos, Dª. Carmen Lissarrague Novoa, hermana del conocido catedrático y escritor Salvador Lissarrague Novoa, que fijó en el Pazo de Couso su residencia veraniega.

Procedencia de la propiedad de los Condes

El abuelo del primer Conde, D. Bernardino Cisneros Figueroa ya era reconocido en un documento de 1702 como legítimo dueño y poseedor de la casa y pazo de Maindo y sucesor legítimo en el vínculo y mayorazgo que fundaron María Suárez de Reino y María Suárez de Aldao.

En realidad el pazo do Outeiro de Maíndo (Couso) es, posiblemente, el vestigio más antiguo de la historia medieval en las tierras del Vea, y el que mejor puede atestiguar el esplendor de las fortalezas y torres de los señores feudales.

Algunos autores sugieren que la casa señorial podría existír a finales del siglo XIII o principios del XIV, junto a otros caserones similares cercanos al río Ulla.

Pero la historia de esta torre fortaleza es conocida a partir del siglo XVI. Lo cierto es que la fecha de construcción que figura inscrita en la puerta es la de 1530. Inicialmente estuvo relacionada con el linaje de los Bendaña, y después con los Reino, Castro y Ximonde. Se sabe que el obispo de Mondoñedo, Álvaro Núñez de Isorna y Bendaña pasó a controlar la torre por concesión del arzobispo de Santiago, Lope de Mendoza. Tras el dominio de los Suárez de Reino, que constituyeron el mayorazgo, el control pasó al linaje de los Cisneros, ya en el XVII, que son los titulares del Condado de Ximonde.

El caserón perdió su carácter militar, para adquirir funciones de residencia de administradores que cuidaban las pesquerías del Ulla.

Entorno del Pazo

El Pazo está situado en un paraje de gran belleza, en la parroquia de Santa María de Couso, Ayuntamiento de   La Estrada. Por Couso pasa el Camino Real que llegaba por la orilla izquierda del río Ulla desde Puentecesures,  formando parte de la ruta francesa del camino de Santiago y que atraviesa el rio Ulla por el puente románico de Pontevea, de seis arcos.

El pazo domina el coto salmonero de Couso, más conocido como
Xirimbao, descendiendo desde la casa una hermosa pradera hasta el  río Ulla. El coto cuenta con una pasarela peatonal, próxima al pazo, recientemente restaurada, desde la que se puede observar el río y el coto de couso

The best books of 2018, according to experts
Dec 31, 2018 6:30 PM EST
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-best-books-of-2018-according-to-experts
In 2018, notable new books often reflected and supplemented conversations around current trends, topics and events. Author Ann Patchett and Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada join Jeffrey Brown to share their favorite books of the year.
Amna Nawaz:
As we mark the end of year, many of us are thinking about resolutions.
That might include reading more. If so, you'll want to pay close attention as Jeffrey Brown guides us through the best books of 2018.
Jeffrey Brown:
And for our look at books, I'm joint by two distinguished literary voices.
Ann Patchett, as many of our viewers know, is an author, novelist and owner of the bookstore Parnassus. Her last novel, "Commonwealth," was on many critics' list for best books of the year in 2016. Her latest book is "Nashville: Scenes From the New American South." And Carlos Lozada is the book critic for The Washington Post who specializes in nonfiction.
Welcome to both of you.
Ann, start off with a couple of your fiction choices.
Ann Patchett:
I love year-end roundups, because I get to really think about what stuck with me over the course of the year.
My favorite book hands down this year is called "Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine." It's a short story collection by Kevin Wilson. It's just wholly original, a little rough. Every story is unique. There are no weak sisters in the book. Every single story is a winner. I love this book. I hope it just takes the world by storm.
A very close second for me, favorite, "The Overstory" by Richard Powers. You could really say every Richard Powers book is a masterpiece, but this one is really important. It's a giant novel about trees and the people who work to save them. But every single one of his narrators has an amazing story about an amazing tree. And then, finally, all of those parts come together. It's a giant , engrossing novel. I loved it.
Ann, I know you're a big reader. Do many books stay with you throughout the year?
No. And it's really odd, because I can read a book that I love, and then I will forget about it. And then another book that I wasn't so sure about, six months later, if I'm still thinking about it, I will know that that's a book I really loved.
OK, Carlos, you got a couple of nonfiction books, especially topical books, huh?
Carlos Lozada:
First is "The Line Becomes a River" by Francisco Cantu. He's a young writer who studied about borders and immigration in college, and then wanted to see it for himself. So he becomes a Border Patrol agent working in the Southwest. His mother warned him against taking the job. She said, the soul can buckle in a job like this.
And his did. He ends up having a lot of nightmares. He's racked by guilt. And he is at the same time trying to discourage migrants from coming over by ransacking their supplies, while he's also trying to help some, advising them on the right time of the year, for instance, to try to do the crossing.
This is one, I should say, I hope our viewers should remember, because I went into the desert with him to talk about the book, yes.
Yes, I think — and you really get a sense of place with this book.
What I like about it so much is that we're having all these big policy debates over immigration right now. And the dilemmas that Cantu faces are the dilemmas that the country is facing right now, but told just through the very honest, empathetic story of one person.
Next up is "Good and Mad" by Rebecca Traister.
Rebecca Traister is the columnist for "New York" magazine and has written a history of female anger in politics, basically, from the suffrage movement through the MeToo movement. It came out in the midst of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. It was sort of excruciatingly topical at the time.
And she writes how men are often praised and lionized for their anger, while female anger is dismissed as emotional or irrational, when, in fact, it can be a vital educational and organizing tool.
The — one of the key things in this book is that Traister also turns the lens on herself and writes about how she used to suppress her own anger in her writing. She's not doing that anymore. This is a book that embodies its own argument.
All right, Ann, where do you want to take us? You want to stay with fiction?
I can really follow up on that. I have got a great novel about female anger.
And that's "Circe" by Madeline Miller. Her first book was "Song of Achilles," which I had thought could not be topped. But she really does something even better with "Cerci." She goes back to Homer and is retelling these stories of classic mythology. Cerci is the witch that Ulysses meets on his way back home in "The Odyssey," and she turns his men into pigs.
But that turns out to be just one tiny bit of her story. She is all-powerful and really grabs a hold of her own life. It's a fantastic book, educational, but also a ripping good read that will keep you up at night.
And then another book that I loved was called "Early Work" by Andrew Martin, which was a book that I stumbled on because I read a review of it in The Times, and I thought it sounded so interesting.
It's really dirty.
It's a book about…
How dirty is it, Ann?
… attractive young graduate students who drink a lot, read a lot, have a lot of sex. And, somehow, it's just mesmerizing.
I have given this book to a dozen people, and everybody says just they stayed up all night, they loved it. Terrific book.
OK, can you top that, Carlos?
This won't be as dirty, though now I want to be the 13th person that gets that book.
Post-Truth by Lee McIntyre.
So, there have been many books on…
In our moment, right, the truth.
(CROSSTALK)
Yes, on the — many, many books on the fate of truth and the American republic. They all have funky names, like "Truth Decay" or "Gaslighting America."
What I what I like about this book, which is more of a philosophical tour, is that he isn't just concerned about the fate of particular facts or truths, but he thinks what is really under result here is the very method by which we ascertain truth or get to truth, in particular, science.
What is also helpful here is that he doesn't just stay at the level of the collective or sort of as a society kind of arguments, but he really tries to look at what we can do as individuals to fight back against this current.
And he says, we need to question our own truths, our own certainties. We need to embrace doubt. He says, that's very hard to do, but it's a good message for this moment.
Another book that I also think hits the moment in kind of an unusual way is called "The List" by Amy Siskind. This is a very weird book. It is a reflection of this exercise the author did at the beginning — right after the 2016 election. She began just compiling online a list of every weird norm-breaking move made by the incoming Trump administration.
The first week, it was nine items. Then it was 18. Then it was 26. And, finally, she's chronicling hundreds of items per week. And what is what is helpful here is that it's basically — basically a compressed history of the Trump presidency.
And you forget in every shock of the moment about the last shock of the moment that you have already forgotten about. So I hope she does volumes two, three and four, though this book is already 500 pages, so I'm not sure how she's going to do more in the next one.
I think we might have time for one more pick apiece.
Ann, you want to start?
I'm going to pick "The Baltimore Book of the Dead" by Marion Winik, who wrote the terrific "The Glen Rock Book of the Dead." It doesn't seem logical, but it is the most life-affirming little book.
They are tiny vignettes of people that she knows, has known who have died, and also famous people that we all know who have died. They're like little personal obituaries. And, oddly, the collective effect is that it sees — makes you see the joy and the beauty of life, a weirdly terrific holiday gift, "The Baltimore Book of the Dead."
And that one, we should say, is nonfiction, clearly, right?
Carlos, one more?
Kwame Anthony Appiah's "The Lies That Bind" about identity politics, another hugely controversial subject right now.
It's basically a tour through the history and philosophy of identity politics. He is sort of skeptical of this trend to identity politics. And he feels that, really, there — he rejects essentialism, the notion that we have some kind of overriding force that defines us and puts us into one group.
He thinks we're messier than that, and the fact that we're messy is actually what sets us free as individuals. It's a nice counterpoint to a lot of the identity writing, but in a way that's not judgmental, and is actually quite enlightening.
A start on what I hope is good reading for many people for 2018.
Carlos Lozada, Ann Patchett, thank you both very much.
