Sabres Fire Krueger, Name Granato Interim, Begin Search For New Head Coach
in Atlantic Division, Buffalo Sabres, Featured, NHL, NHL Rumors, Opinion
The Buffalo Sabres long losing skid and residence at the bottom of the NHL standings resulted in Ralph Krueger losing his job, as the club relieved the head coach of his duties. The Sabres lost their 12th game in a row in New Jersey on Tuesday, prompting first-year GM Kevyn Adams to fire Krueger and assistant coach Steve Smith after going 36-49-12 over one and a half seasons in Buffalo.
"This is about results that haven't been good enough." Adams said on a media conference call. "I look and evaluate everything, and I was trying to take a real, honest, fair evaluation, understanding the adversity and the situation our team was in, taking it all into account, but it felt like the right time, and this is about moving forward. This is about how do we improve. I do believe every crisis is an opportunity for positive change and this is a chance for us to move forward and to begin to get this thing pointed in the right direction."
Don Granato was named interim head coach, with former NHLer's Matt Ellis and Dan Girardi named as assistants, but Adams indicated that a search for a new bench boss would begin immediately.
"I'm not going to get into specifics, what I will tell you is the search will be effective immediately. I've thought a lot about the characteristics and attributes that I think would be important for this organization moving forward." Adams said. "There will be a lot of people that I will speak to, there will be other people (that will be) part of the process as we go along, but what I don't want to do is rush into anything or make a quick decision without truly taking as much time as we need, because this is about getting it right. It's great to say I'm looking for this or that, or they have to have this or that. This is about getting the right person and it's critical."
"There has to be a pride that goes with putting on a Buffalo Sabres jersey. There has to be a pride of showing up every day and being a National Hockey League player."
— Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) March 17, 2021
Owners Terry and Kim Pegula purged the organization after missing the playoffs last season, letting go of GM Jason Botterill, most of the management and scouting staff in favor of Adams and a skeleton crew and giving Krueger more input in roster decisions, including the signing of former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall and trading for veteran center Eric Staal.

Financial considerations could be a big part of who the Sabres target for their new head coach. Botterill has a year left on his contract and Krueger was slated to make $3.75 million next season. Veteran head coaches such as Mike Babcock, Gerard Gallant, Bruce Boudreau, and possibly John Tortorella may be on the market this summer, but it is unlikely that any of them would take on the rather large challenge of turning around the fortunes of the Sabres without a big-money long-term deal and some say in player personnel.
Adams will now be focused on the upcoming trade deadline, as the Sabres are likely to move the expiring contracts of Hall, Staal, Brandon Montour, and others for future assets and/or draft picks and hopefully turning around the season of struggling youngsters Casey Mittelstadt and Rasmus Dahlin.

A healthy, balanced body has over 100 trillion microflora, but when you take antibiotics, things can get off track.
Florajen Probiotics can help.
Antibiotics destroy or limit the growth of bacteria. Probiotics stimulate the growth of "good" bacteria in your system.
There are a wide variety of reasons to choose a probiotic. In general, probiotics act by stimulating the growth of microorganism colonies that are "good" or helpful, as compared to antibiotics that destroy or limit the growth of microorganisms that are "bad" or cause harm.
Antibiotics don't discriminate between good and bad bacteria — they kill both and can disturb the natural intestinal microbial balance, often with unpleasant side effects, like diarrhea.
Up to 35% of adults get gastrointestinal distress when taking an antibiotic.4
Up to 40% of children get gastrointestinal distress when taking an antibiotic.7
So, how can probiotics be beneficial? According to the National Institutes of Health, probiotics can:
Help to maintain a desirable or beneficial community of microorganisms in your system.
Stabilize the digestive and vaginal tract's barriers against undesirable microorganisms or produce substances that inhibit "bad" microorganisms' growth.
Help the community of microorganisms in the body return to normal after being disturbed, for example, by use of antibiotics or by an illness.
Outcompete undesirable microorganisms.
Stimulate immune response.9

Cash for Gold (South Park)
Silver Diamond
Cash for gold may refer to:
Gold jewelry recycling, a service buying old, broken, or mismatched gold jewelry by local or online gold buyers.
Cash for Gold (South Park), an episode of the American animated sitcom South Park
Cash4Gold, a mail-in refinery that buys gold, silver and platinum primarily from jewellery
This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia -	https://wn.com/Cash_for_gold
Cash4Gold (sometimes stylized in advertising as Cash4Gold.com) serves as a mail-in refinery that buys gold, silver and platinum primarily from jewelry.
Cash4Gold.com's original ownership team was beset by Better Business Bureau complaints and filed for bankruptcy after overspending on large advertising efforts including a commercial which aired during the Super Bowl. In 2012 the assets of the company were purchased by Direct Holdings Global. The company changed its name in an effort to improve the Better Business Bureau rating; complaints, however, continue about their questionable business practices.
Consumers request a pre-paid envelope known as a "Refiner's Pack" online or by phone. Customers place their gold materials in the pack and ship it to the Cash4Gold refinery in Florida. A Cash4Gold employee weighs the items, photographs them and assesses the items using such tools as acids, X-rays and electronic testing devices. Then they send the customer a check for a value they determine. Customers are given 10 days from the date on the check to ask for their jewelry back if they are not satisfied with the amount of their check.

"Cash for Gold" is the second episode of the sixteenth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 225th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on March 21, 2012. The episode centers on Stan's irritation with J&G Shopping Network and television home shopping networks in general, as he discovers that they prey upon the elderly and fleece them of their money, as well as Cartman's new entrepreneurship inspired by that same idea.
The episode was written by series co-creator Trey Parker and is rated TV-MA L in the United States.
Stan Marsh's grandfather Marvin gives him a bejeweled bolo tie, saying that the Jewels & Gems (J&G) Shopping Network, from which he bought it, claimed that its 14 carat gold and diamonds makes it worth $6,000. After Cartman teases him for wearing such a tacky and unfashionable item, Stan takes it to a Cash For Gold store where he is offered $15 for it. Other such merchants similarly offer him little or nothing for the item, and Stan realizes that his grandfather has been swindled. Stan tries to talk Marvin out of buying him or his sister Shelly more worthless items, but Marvin suffers from Alzheimer's disease and instead relates to Stan an oft-repeated anecdote of a Border Collie named Patches he once had, but laments that he can no longer remember what she looked like.

Silver Diamond (シルバー ダイヤモンド, Shirubā Daiyamondo) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shiho Sugiura. It is published in the monthly magazine Ichiraci. It has been licensed for an English-language release in North America by Tokyopop.
The story starts with a man (Chigusa Senrou) who tries to assassinate the prince of the Amato Empire and fails. He is pushed into a distortion in space and falls into the real world. Rakan, a high school student who lives by himself, returns home from school one day to find Chigusa lying unconscious in his garden, carrying a gun made of wood. Chigusa awakens, and attempts to kill Rakan, thinking him to be the prince, only to be stopped when Rakan unconsciously turns the gun into a tree. Chigusa recognizes him as a "Sanome" and decides to protect him to later bring to the Amato Empire to defeat the prince. After this first encounter, Narushige and then Touji are also brought to the real world through the portal between the Real World and the Alternate World, Amato Empire and become loyal friends to Rakan and Chigusa. When Rakan learns of the state of the Amato Empire and meeting its so-called 'prince', he forces Chigusa into allowing him to come and help stop their world from being destroyed. Rakan vowed to return the alternate world into a green one again and stop the 'prince'.

Gold & Silver, Colour Haze
Your god is made out of your head man
I don't believe what I`m told
I don't say that this is all wrong now
But who are you to judge my world
Look out, outside it's silver
Inside it's all the way gold
One thousand bucks you claim for your kiss babe
And for one dime you sell your soul
Father, son and all this invention
A mirror under dust and mold
Oh my this ride is a phony
See where we all go
Look out, outside your window
Outside it's all the way gold
One thousand bucks they pay for your kisses
And for own dime they buy your soul
And I sit alone before I take a sidewalk
Of a life that is too short
Help me flying
See me flying
We will find what the heavens own
If we trust our love alone
We will see what the angels saw

Most Hungarian believers are Christians and belong to the Roman Catholic Church. There are also many Protestants, mainly supporters of Reformed churches but also Lutherans, as well as smaller groups of Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists.
Under the Hungarian Communist regime (1949–1989), the churches were forced to be loyal to the People's Republic and its leaders. In 1990, religious freedom was entered into the constitution, the state and church were separated and the state was prohibited from interfering in religious matters. Parliament decided in 1991 that the religious communities would regain all property seized during the communist regime.
The 2012 Constitution brought about major changes in the status of religious communities. The law was criticized by the Constitutional Court and, according to a 2014 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, it violated freedom of association or religion. Among other things, it was criticized for the fact that a large number of communities with special status that gave the right to tax exemption and to run schools, now lost their position because they did not meet new requirements, which have been operating in the country for 20 years. The fact that Parliament decides whether a society should be entitled to this particular social status has also been criticized.
The Times of Israel newspaper reported in 2018 that there were about 12,000 people who identified themselves as Jews in Hungary. But the numbers are uncertain: many are believed to have concealed their Jewish origin because of the very severe persecution suffered by Hungarian Jews, especially during World War II (see Population and Languages and Older History).
Countryaah: Population statistics for 2020 and next 30 years in Hungary, covering demographics, population graphs, and official data for growth rates, population density, and death rates.
Another hardship in the European Court of Justice
Hungary violated EU law on freedom of movement for capital when it introduced a law that restricts foreign contributions to individual organizations, the European Court of Justice has concluded. The law, which was introduced in 2017, requires the name of the donor to be published and that an organization that receives money over a certain amount each year registers as financed from abroad. Hungary argues, among other things, that the law counteracts money laundering, while critics believe it was created to silence opposition. In practice, the law is seen as directed primarily at contributions from Hungarian-born financier George Soros.
Coronal Act is replaced by Health Crisis Act
Parliament votes to repeal the abused law that allowed the government to control by decree during covid-19 pandemic (see 11 March, 30 March and 26 May). After that, the government is expected to formally withdraw the state of emergency due to social dangers that prevailed during the spring and formed the basis for the corona law. But Parliament now instead approves a law that allows the government to declare that health risks prevail, and that law also opens according to critics for governance through decrees, and this indefinitely.
Orbán play for Lukashenko
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visits Belarus President Lukashenko and calls on the EU to lift its remaining sanctions on the Minsk regime: arms embargo and travel bans and frozen assets for a number of people. Lukashenko calls Hungary its "leading partner in the EU who understands us like no other". He also praised Orbán for the courage to visit during the ongoing pandemic. Belarus has 253 confirmed deaths in covid-19 and Hungary, with approximately the same population, has 542.
Bitter 100-year anniversary is noted
A silent minute, bell ringing, stagnant public transport and other markings are carried out when Hungary commemorates the centenary of the Trianon Treaty, which was concluded in Versailles in 1920 and drew the country's new borders after the dissolution of the Austria-Hungary empire. Hungarian nationalists see it as a grief manifestation. Hungary's 1900s borders have not only reduced territory but also groups of Hungarian speakers living outside the country.
Orbán takes one step back, on the paper
The Orban government proposes that the state of emergency introduced as a result of the corona pandemic be abolished, as is the severely criticized law that gives the government the right to govern by decree (see March 11 and March 30). But a number of decisions that have been made in the meantime will continue to apply, decisions that give more power to the government and reduce the influence of opponents. These include, among other things, that money for a fund against the corona crisis is taken from party support and from vehicle taxes that previously constituted municipal income (see April 4). This will weaken parties that are critical of the government, and the opposition will find it more difficult to govern municipalities where they are in the majority. At the same time, a bill is being considered that classifies large investments as special economic zones. It is primarily aimed at foreign companies that have invested in Hungary, and reduces the municipalities' role as a contracting party. Agreements and regulatory oversight of such companies are lifted to the regional level.
Agreement with China secretly stamped
Parliament votes to keep the details of an important infrastructure contract confidential for ten years. The contract is for the modernization of the railway between Budapest and Belgrade, which is being implemented together with China and, for Hungary, is described as the country's largest investment in infrastructure to date. Under the agreement with the state-owned Chinese bank Exim, Hungary will pay 85 percent of the construction through loans and the rest with its own funds. By extension, the connection will also be linked to the port of Greek Piraeus, which is operated by China. Business players who are close to Prime Minister Orbán are part of the project, whose critics have warned that the building may be plagued by corruption.
Hungary is losing transit camp targets
The EU court decides the case against Hungary which applies to Röszke at the Serbian border (see April 23) and it will be a hardship for the Hungarian government. The Court finds that migrants cannot be forced to stay in transit camps without having their asylum application individually tested, and that asylum seekers cannot be detained for more than four weeks. Hungary automatically denies asylum, and the Iranian and Afghan citizens who took their protest to court were forced to stay in Röszke for more than a year after being denied the asylum application. The government spokesman rejects the European Court's judgment because the people "could leave the camp at any time in the direction of Serbia", but a week after the verdict is announced that the camps will be closed. 280 people are moved to asylum shelters. At the same time, the Government stresses that applications for asylum can only be made through Hungary's diplomatic missions abroad.
Roma are entitled to damages
About 60 Roma children in Gyöngyöspata in eastern Hungary are entitled to damages after being segregated from other pupils in an elementary school between 2004 and 2017. The Supreme Court decides on a lower court ruling. Ethnic segregation at school is illegal in Hungary, but still exists. In the present case, the students have been deprived of IT and swimming lessons. Prime Minister Orbán believes that instead of damages, students should have been compensated, but HD responds that this possibility is not in the law. The case has already previously led Orbán to announce a review of the tort.
Nordic criticism of Hungary's ruling
The five Nordic countries, in a joint letter (supporting the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe Marija Pejčinović Burić), expressed concern about democracy in Hungary. The reason is the new crisis legislation that will expand Prime Minister Orbán's power (see March 30). The letter leads to Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó calling on the Nordic ambassadors in Budapest and accusing the Nordic countries of spreading misgivings about Hungary.
Failed in democracy for Hungary
Hungary can no longer be classified as a democracy. The bad rating is given by the organization Freedom House, which is politically unbound but operates with the US as its base. The organization annually examines country by country how laws and authorities relate to factors such as freedom of speech, freedom of organization and popular influence. The new assessment of Hungary, described in 2005 as a pioneering country, is a "hybrid regime": the country is on a gray scale between democracy and autocracy.
Parliament noble law against the abuse of women
The Hungarian Parliament refrains from ratifyingan international agreement intended to counteract violence against women: phenomena such as marital rape and genital mutilation. Instead, a government declaration is supported that the agreement would favor "destructive gender ideologies" and encourage illegal immigration. A majority of EU member states, including Hungary, signed the document called the Istanbul Convention 2014. But it will not be law until Parliament has approved it. The Fidesz Government believes that Hungarian law already provides adequate protection for women at risk of abuse, and dislikes that the Convention provides for the right to protection for people who risk persecution because of their gender or sexual orientation. Since Viktor Orbán became prime minister, Hungary's constitution has been changed to exclude marriage between people of the same sex. The law has also been amended to prevent universities from teaching gender studies. The formal name of the Istanbul Convention is the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention and Control of Domestic Violence and Domestic Violence.
EU lawyer criticizes border camps
Hungary's decision to force asylum seekers to stay in a camp in Röszke on the Serbian border is to be considered illegal detention. The assessment is made by EU Attorney General Priit Pikamäe in a case involving four men from Afghanistan and Iran respectively. The men had made their way through Serbia, which also refused to allow them to return when they had been denied their asylum applications in Hungary. The case will be decided by the EU court, which usually makes the same judgment as the Advocate General.
Guest students are accused of spreading infection
Hungarian authorities announce that 14 Iranian students will be expelled. They are said to have violated corona-related quarantine rules, but critics claim it is an arbitrary process: Ever since March 3, when Hungary stopped issuing visas to Iranians, Viktor Orban's government and government-run media have been running a campaign with the headquarters aimed at foreigners who accused of spreading infection.
Compulsory grants are introduced to the Corona Fund
Multinational companies, banks, parties and municipalities must contribute to a fund to finance crisis measures against the corona pandemic, the government announces, which is pushing to the equivalent of SEK 4 billion from the state budget. There will be both special taxes for companies and mandatory contributions to the fund. Municipalities are forced to waive portions of vehicle tax revenues and parties must waive half their public party support. The injunction is expected to be particularly noticeable for opposition parties with little funding, which have been fined on various grounds in recent years.
Hungary is brought before the European Court of Justice
Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic violated EU law when they refused to accept refugees in 2015, when unusually many refugees applied for Europe. This is what the European Court of Justice has concluded, and the three countries are now being fined. All three countries refused to follow a decision taken by the EU's Migration and Home Affairs Ministers that the refugees should be distributed among EU member states. The intention was to reduce the pressure on reception in Greece and Italy (see December 7, 2017).
The power of the orb is extended
Parliament gives (with the votes of 137 for and 53 against) the Fidesz government the right to govern by decree (see 11 March). Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is thus granted the right to extend the state of emergency without asking Parliament for permission. The new law has been enforced against the background of the corona pandemic, but it contains no time limit. Anyone who disseminates "fake news" about the disease or measures taken can be punished by up to five years in prison, raising fears that mass media will not be able to report criticism to the government. Péter Jakab, leader of the opposition party Jobbik, comments on the new law: "It quarantines all of Hungary's democracy."
Closed borders against pandemic
Hungary closes its borders to all but its own citizens to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Freight is to be passed through, but the truck queues will be long at border crossings. The government bans public events and limits opening hours for restaurants and cafes, which must close as early as the afternoon. A first death in covid-19 disease has been reported among 39 confirmed infected. Following pressure from neighboring countries, Hungary allows Bulgarian and Romanian citizens by car to pass to the home countries. The "humanitarian corridor" is kept open at night for motorists applying column driving (co-driving).

An emergency permit is introduced with reference to the need for sharp action against the new corona virus that threatens public health and economy. Ten days later, a new bill can be read on the Hungarian Parliament's internet site: a proposal that would give Viktor Orbán's government the right to extend a state of emergency for an unlimited period of time, and in the meantime rule by decree. At present, the law requires that the extension of an emergency permit must be approved by the Members of Parliament. Other amendments are also proposed, such as imprisonment for those who violate quarantine rules. If two-thirds of parliamentarians vote in favor of the proposals, Orbán will have very far-reaching powers as prime minister.
More children should provide more forest
Prime Minister Orbán presents a climate plan when he talks about the state of the nation: for every child born, ten trees should be planted. According to Orbán's calculations, it should increase Hungary's forest area by 27 percent by 2030. He has previously described the plan as a Christian democratic way of addressing the global greenhouse effect. Orbán now also lists other measures planned: disposable plastic materials will be banned and Hungarian cities will have only electric buses in 2022.
New curriculum will be canceled
A new curriculum is presented. The Hungarian Teachers' Union demands that it be withdrawn. The teachers point out, among other things, that authors with well-known anti-Semitic sympathies are on the literature list, while Nobel laureate Imre Kertész who survived the Holocaust was placed outside. In the subject of history, greater emphasis is placed on Hungarians deported to camps in the Soviet Union than on Hungarian Jews who were taken to Nazi extermination camps. Minister of Education Miklós Kásler responds that the next generation needs a curriculum characterized by "European Hungarian values".
Fidesz remains suspended by conservatives
The Hungarian government party Fidesz will not be excluded from the EPP, the Conservative party cooperation at EU level. But EPP, which has previously been shut down by the party, also does not let Fidesz "into the heat". The message is given by EPP chairman Donald Tusk. The Conservative and Christian Democratic parties included in the EPP dislike Fidesz's handling of the Hungarian rule of law (see March 2 and March 20, 2019). Commentators have pointed out that an exclusion could give the impression that Fidesz is being treated badly by EU colleagues, and have the consequence that the negative attitudes of Hungary towards the EU are growing.
End of congestion money for prisoners
The Hungarian government has decided to no longer pay compensation to prisoners living in the conditions prevailing in the country's prisons. According to the European Court of Human Rights, the overcrowded institutions are unacceptably crowded. Hungary has so far followed a 2015 ruling that criticized the situation, but Prime Minister Orbán believes it has now become a birthplace for lawyers to help interns recover damages. According to the government, about 12,000 cases have so far cost the Hungarian state the equivalent of SEK 315 million.
EU criticism against registration of associations
Hungary violated EU law through its demand for registration of individual organizations receiving financial assistance from abroad, believes the EU Attorney General: The laws, introduced in 2017, violate several EU principles, including freedom of association and the requirement for free movement of capital. The European Court of Justice, which is to judge the issue, does not have to follow the Attorney General's judgment but usually does (see 13 July 2017 and 30 August 2017).
Test tube fertilization becomes free
Test tube fertilization will henceforth be performed free of charge at state clinics, announces Prime Minister Orbán. It is the government's latest move to stop the Hungarian population decline. At the end of 2019, it was announced that the state will buy six private IVF clinics that offer assisted conception, four of which are in the capital, Budapest.

Randolph professor to lecture at Sorbonne Nouvelle University in France
Jennifer Gauthier
Jennifer Gauthier, communication professor at Randolph College, will deliver the lecture, "Real Injuns and Real Indians: Trends in Native American Cinema," May 4 at Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris, France.
Gauthier will discuss the stereotypes of Native Americans in Hollywood cinema over the years, such as the "bloodthirsty warrior" and the "wise elder." She will examine three films (Smoke Signals, by Chris Eyre, 1988; The Doe Boy, by Randy Redroad, 2001; and The Business of Fancydancing, by Sherman Alexie, 2002) made by Native American directors and explore ways the filmmakers are challenging those stereotypes. Gauthier will also demonstrate the ways these films portray masculinity.
Gauthier has a strong interest in global indigenous cinema, and for the last 10 years has studied media produced by Native people of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. She has published several articles and book chapters about the subject.
"I am fascinated by how marginalized groups use film, and now digital media, to rebuild their culture and pass it on to the younger generation," Gauthier said. "I see it as a political act that attempts to recover lost history and expose aspects of the national past that many people would rather ignore."
Gauthier was invited to lecture at Sorbonne Nouvelle University by a former College French language assistant, Clementine Tholas, who now teaches at Sorbonne Nouvelle and researches American silent cinema. She presented some of her research at Randolph College last fall.

Seahawks' Thomas, Shead have hamstring strains
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Pete Carroll spent most of his time Monday talking about injuries. He never was asked about the Seattle Seahawks taking a three-game lead in their division.
Seattle's 26-15 win over Philadelphia came with a cost that could leave the Seahawks short-handed going to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
"It's amazing to see it like that. I made mention of it just a week ago, we had one guy with a turned ankle coming out of the game," Carroll said. "To see all these guys on both sides of the ball get nicked, particularly the running backs took a big hit, it's just unusual. It was a crazy day yesterday."
Seattle's offensive and defensive backfields were left thinned due to key injuries in the victory over the Eagles that gave the Seahawks a three-game cushion over Arizona in the NFC West.
The most serious injury was a fractured shoulder blade by running back C.J. Prosise. Making his second straight start, Prosise had a 72-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, but was injured just before halftime.
Carroll said Prosise will not need surgery, but the team is still a couple of weeks away from gathering a precise timeframe if he will return this season. Prosise's injury and a high-ankle sprain by backup Troymaine Pope left Seattle so thin at running back on Sunday that backup quarterback Trevone Boykin had one carry in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks tried to avoid overworking Thomas Rawls in his first game since Week 2.
Carroll described Rawls as "trashed" on Monday after playing 40 offensive snaps and getting 17 total touches: 14 carries and three runs.
"He threw his body around like he was in a train wreck. He'll be taken care of this week," Carroll said.
Rookie running back Alex Collins was a healthy scratch on Sunday, but almost certainly will be active against Tampa Bay. Seattle might also look at signing George Farmer off the practice squad for additional depth.
On the other side of the ball, starting safety Earl Thomas and starting cornerback DeShawn Shead both suffered first-degree hamstring strains that will likely require 10 to 14 days to recover. Carroll wouldn't rule out either player for the game against the Buccaneers, but said the typical recovery time is about two weeks.
"That's what normal hamstrings are," Carroll said. "Those guys are rare guys. We'll see what happens. We'll see how they adapt."
Shead felt his hamstring acting up during Saturday's walkthrough and tried to go on Sunday, but went to the sideline in the first half. Thomas was injured in the third quarter while running downfield in coverage on a ball intercepted by Richard Sherman. Thomas has not missed a game in his professional career and has started 106 consecutive games.
The combination of Jeremy Lane and Neiko Thorpe filled in for Shead, while Steven Terrell took over for Thomas.
"Both did really well. Both were very solid," Carroll said of Thorpe and Terrell. "Very assignment sound, technique sound, in the right spots throughout. They did a good job, which is a really good sign for us moving forward in the event we have to have those guys playing."
Other injuries for the Seahawks included left tackle George Fant (shoulder), linebacker Brock Coyle (foot sprain), backup wide receiver Tanner McEvoy (toe) and tight end Luke Willson, who appeared to tweak his knee late in the game. Carroll said the expectation is all should be able to play against Tampa Bay.
The one positive with injuries was defensive end Michael Bennett, who underwent minor knee surgery earlier this month. Carroll said Bennett is pushing to get back this week against his former team.
"We're going to see what happens. He's going to see how far he can take it. We'll find out," Carroll said. "The trainers and doctors are open for if he can make it back he can play. We'll see if he's able to do that. "

Wolfpack win gold
The Great Lakes Wolfpack are OFSAA baseball champions.
The Wolfpack rallied to beat the Whitby Sinclair Celtics 16-9 in the gold-medal game Wednesday in London.
The Wolfpack defeated Mississauga St. Marcellinus 8-3 in a semifinal Wednesday morning.
The OFSAA title is the first for Great Lakes, which was created in 2016 by the amalgamation of Sarnia Collegiate and St. Clair.
The Wolfpack fell behind early in the gold-medal game. They trailed 4-2 in the second inning before storming back.
The victory avenged their 8-5 loss to Sinclair at the OFSAA East Regional last week. Sinclair qualified for the OFSAA semifinals with that win, while Great Lakes had to win its next game to join them at the Final Four.
St. Marcellinus beat Pickering 22-12 in a rain-delayed bronze-medal game.
Great Lakes is the seventh SWOSSAA team in nine years to win the OFSAA championship. Lakeshore St. Anne won three gold medals during that stretch, Windsor Holy Names two and Windsor Massey one.

Creeping Managerial Culture in Academe Spells Trouble for Critical Researchers
I just finished submitting my CV for a research job at a university. Neither the job nor the school is particularly prestigious, but they're both respectable. We're not talking University of Phoenix here.
The school in question has adopted, some time over the last year or so, a new application system. Instead of emailing HR your application, you upload it to one of those annoying forms that makes you fill out all your information at least twice. But this one has a bonus feature! It'll tell you how many "inappropriate" words are on your CV.
I thought I was doing my part by refraining from opening every cover letter with "Dear capitalist motherfuckers," but apparently no. Here is the list of words–all from titles of papers and presentations I've written, research I've conducted and positions I've held–deemed "inappropriate" for a job application.
I have no idea what happens to filtered applications once they enter the system. One hopes it's just a friendly warning and not an indication that the application will never even see the light of day.
But it's a clear statement about what the creeping managerial culture in academe–the one that reinvents workers as data and discipline as preventative–means for critical researchers. Even if "inappropriate" applications aren't immediately tossed out (for now), the construction of "appropriate" and "inappropriate" language here serves to mark a very particular set of researchers as risks.

Why Does Representative Poetry Online Bring Up Children in Response to DH Lawrence's "Snake"?
The lie that postmodernism believes it has uncovered is that there was never anything to lose in the first place. (Armstrong 31)
I've been meaning to write about DH Lawrence's "Snake" for awhile because I really liked the poem. But I didn't think I had much to say about it because I mostly just like it because the snake sounds like a good, handsome snake, who if I met him I would say something silly like "Hello snake! What a good snake you are! Yes, you are a handsome snake!" I just like animals, and I like stories that recognize their dignity. But Lawrence's narrator doesn't quite get along with the snake, so, while liking the poem, I found the narrator's revulsion and anger about the snake's retreat into the hole upsetting and kind of frightening to a degree that I can't really make sense of or explain.
But it strikes me that there is something very odd in the commentary accompanying the poem in Representative Poetry Online. At the end of an interesting commentary expanding on Lawrence's poetic allusions, the editor adds:
No doubt this poem can also be read erotically, as Lawrence's vision of a phallic serpent, the demonic seducer of Eve in the garden of Eden, hanging out of and re-entering the body of a firy procreative Earth. Given Lawrence's extraordinary visions of sex and death, such a reading can no doubt be sustained, although children of all ages, in and out of school, might be forgiven for missing the point, believing that he really did meet a snake one day at the water-trough and wrote about it in the same wide-eyed spirit as he did other living things in his Birds, Beasts and Flowers: Poems (1923).
Erm, why are we talking about children?
Of course I would expect children to fuck up most, if not all, literary readings. If practical criticism, the establishment of English as an academic discipline and criticism as a profession, was intended to produce "mature" readings, then children, by definition, can be forgiven for missing the point. And since children are traditionally barred knowledge of the erotic and the sexual, then naturally they would miss the poem's erotic potential—at least consciously. I could argue that children still have sexualities and still would be affected on the level of sexuality.
But what's this "children of all ages, in and out of school" business? Are there non-child-aged children who, reading for innocent pleasure instead of dirty, dirty study, should also be forgiven for ignorance of this huge piece of human experience? What's so much more innocent about aggressively constructed and imposed ignorance of sexuality, than a simple erotic response? Not to mention: DH Lawrence was a giant kinky perverted violent queer, who struggled continuously with his homosexual desires and often gloried in his misogyny and penis-worship. "Extraordinary visions of sex and death" weren't just an idle passtime, they were expressions of a lifelong struggle with identity and sexual and romantic practice. So that's an odd turn in the criticism.
Jolene Armstrong writes about the poem in the course guide (this was my favourite chapter in the course guide, btw, because I felt like it made a lot of my own responses to modern and postmodern literature and criticism a lot clearer). She identifies the moments I found so upsetting as the moment of the narrator's crisis of faith in the institutions of masculinity and Enlightenment education. Postmodernism, she says, is that jerk standing at the sidelines heckling: What? Don't tell me you believed that? Loser. Which is still kind of the problem I have with postmodernism. It's not that I disagree, it's just that these crises, and the reactions of 'believers' to crisis, are really fucking things up. Like Lawrence's narrator, for example, a lot of men have reacted violently to their crises of masculinity. So it seems like the myth of an ideal, better world, even when I know it's a myth, could be a really useful thing.

"Stay Away From Dancehalls": The Weird Imperial Dialogue of VD
When war is instigated, it's safe to assume an awful lot of people are about to get fucked. We all know, of course, that VD was an issue for men and women "overseas" at war throughout the 20th century (and still is now). A few of other things we know, of course, are that some men have sex with other men, sex is not always consensual, and rape (especially rape of racialized women) is a widely used and effective weapon in wars. These are important things to keep in mind as some of the realities that fall outside the limits of dominant discourse, so we can see more clearly the work done by discourse.
I have limited information about the posters below. They were all posted as a part of the "100 Years of Sex" campaign by The San Francisco City Clinic, but without information about when they were made, where, how widely they were distributed. And that's why I say 'dialogue,' because I am reading them as evidence of an ongoing covnersation, not a chronologically developing statement. (There's 100 posters there, one from each year the clinic has been open — totally worth checking out.)
As far as information about how to not get syphilis goes, this is pretty useless. Chances are, all of those men do not have syphilis (probably not the ones who are smiling, anyway — festering genital sore = frowny face), and even if they did, no one is going to catch it by dancing with them.
But that doesn't mean dancing's not dangerous business. This commentary, from the extreme end of the religious right, neatly captures the "trouble" with dancing:
Even back in the 1940s, my mother and her friends—no doubt like millions of mothers all across the United States—had pushed me and dozens of my classmates to attend "dancing school"—where we were taught to dance face to face and chest to chest with young girls barely entering their puberty. We were just little children who wanted to play baseball and "kick the can." God does not forbid dancing, of course, but He does command us to "flee sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18). Why did our mothers push us into the kind of semi-romantic, semi-sexual behavior involved in that kind of dancing when we were only twelve years old?
The commentary is about violence against women and its causes (and it's about as useful as the poster is for preventing syphilis). First syphilis, now violence: dancehalls can't catch a break in this post. Dancing is sexy, so I'll give them that much, but the poster has more to say. Amy Leigh writes:
[…] as the United States struggled with the ethical and racial issues surrounding jazz music in the early twentieth century, legal boundaries, doctrine, and personal rights evolved to accommodate and embrace changing prevailing views. This co-existing development appears especially in the use of ordinances, zoning laws, and restrictive covenants as weapons to insulate middle- and upper-class white communities from the "evils" thought to exist in black communities, red-light districts, and dance halls. Prevailing community ideals held that the goals of maintaining a white, middle-class homogeneity and a proper moral environment suited for childrearing justified all efforts to segregate blacks in American cities.
Public health discourse, like zoning law, is a way that governments can attempt to regulate people's movements. After all, the poster doesn't say "women: don't fuck," it says to stay not only out of, but entirely away from dancehalls. The men in the poster may all be white (and that helps to target an audience of white women), but the syphilis-infected men dancing with white women in the cultural imagination probably were not.
That the men are evidently returning 'home' from 'away' — we see them exiting a train — makes this a story of men's movement as well, referencing the sexual threat of conquest and pillage (the mission just completed, where we must assume the men picked up the VD) and, because it is a racialized message in the US, the lingering exoticized foreignness of racialized masculinity. (I need to know a word for "un-citizenship," btw. What do I mean by un-citizenship? Consider the zillion of so citizens who can't vote because of their "criminal" records. There's citizenship on paper, and then there's citizenship in practice)
Sexual threat brings us pretty neatly to the next image, a picture of Donald Duck, who would be having a super-good day if only he had a condom. Also, he would be raping someone, but 'the West' has always had, and still has, a pretty fucked up discourse around sexual assault and sexual consent. That doesn't make it ok, just unsurprising. (Just because it really can't go without saying, having sex with someone who is asleep is rape, regardless of where she's sleeping, how she came to pass out, and what she's wearing at the time. Not being on guard against rapists 24/7 is not an invitation for sex.)
Whiteness, once again, is a funny thing in conversations about disease and sexual threat. Donald Duck is a soldier in this image, stationed somewhere where tropical plants grow. I don't know if ducks can be 'white,' but I've never seen Donald Duck pictured as other than white. The woman napping under the plants is pictured as an alluring and vulnerable white woman. Despite the fact that Donald Duck is considering raping the woman, it's her body, not his, that's cast as a sexual threat: she might have VD. Given our cultural myths about rape, we might even assume she's promiscuous — she is, after all, 'asking for it' — so then, according to many of the posters on the site, she definitely has VD.
But the reality this poster is interacting with is one where soldiers stationed in the global South have sex with (and rape) women who are not white. And if the poster had shown a racialized woman napping under a bush, with Donald Duck poised to rape her, if only he could do so without risk to himself, well, that story would resonate almost perfectly with the history of American imperialism. It's not quite a "don't rape" message, but it's definitely a warning, casting racialized women's bodies as simultaneously absent and threatening: to the integrity of male American soldiers and, in the dialogue between the poster and the reality it speaks to, to white women's privileged desirability.
The 'exotic' plants place this threat 'far away,' but of course, as American soliders impregnate racialized women in far away places, we have every reason to fear migration.
Speaking of fear, Hitler is very scary. So is that other guy, who might be Hirohito, but, as it now occurs to me, I really don't know anything about the Japanese leadership during World War 2 (or at any other point in history, for that matter), so it could be some other commander-type whose face was familiar to Americans. I wonder why Japanese leaders never became iconic in the same way as Hitler did, but I suppose that's best left unanswered, as it's quite off-topic.
We can repeat the dialogue above about sexual threat and threatening sexualities, taking note in this case the construction of women's bodies specifically as weapons in war, instrumental to the political (and musical?) designs of these caricatures of fascism. This instrumentality contradicts the real use of women's bodies in war, as people who can be raped to establish dominance over an 'enemy' population. (Have I mentioned rape enough in this post? That's because war is super rapey. Hey, Canada's at war in Afghanistan right now. And we've been occupying Haiti for, like, ever. We should probably be talking regularly about how frequently women involved in war in any way, as soldiers or as civilians, are sexually assaulted.)
Anyway. The next two posters mark a shift in the conversation we've been following.
This looks like an aircraft carrier, and the higher production value and inclusion of technology in the image suggest a later date than the others, but who knows? (Does someone know? I think it would be fascinating to be able to arrange this dialogue chronologically without my half-baked guesswork.)
This is my favourite (in the sense of "I'm excited to deconstruct this," not "this is a good STI-prevention tool") of the posters I pulled from the site because the movement of sexual threat from sexualized remediated bodies to sexualized space and place is so apparent. The weather vane indicates that "whereever you go" is a movement from North and West to South and East, identifying the trajectories of invasion and occupation in American imperialism, even as its consistency with the viewer's gaze helps to normalize them. The sexualized threat isn't women's bodies, but the places themselves, characterizing the global 'East' and 'South' as always and already infected: a discourse reflective of American views on 'foreign' (and the exceptional 'homegrown,' always said with surprise as if to entrench its natural foreignness) terrorism, fascism, primitivism and communism, but also one that negates the infectious nature of Western military and economic movement around the world. (Think of american army bases and McDonalds restaurants popping up like clusters of herpes blisters, while violence and hunger cause suffering in those same places. Capitalism is the ultimate opportunistic infection.)
So, last but not least, we come to the point of the VD dialogue. What, if sexuality and bodies aren't necessarily connected in discourse, are we protecting? And in the weird imperial dialogue of VD, the 'citizen' finally makes an appearance among all the infected un-citizens. He's an interesting character: white and male, of course, and he's a child, necessarily subjected to the rule of a higher authority. The citizen, in whose name we engage this weird discourse of sexual morality, sexual conquest and sexual threat, is a promise (or a dream) as much as a person; something we can work toward, but never embody.

One netizen starts a Blue House petition saying there are too many Trot shows
www.wikitree.co.kr
Recently, a petition was written to the presidential office at the Blue House. The petition requested to refrain broadcast stations from producing more Trot-based shows.
The petition was written by a netizen who claimed to be an unknown Trot singer and has been floating around the online communities as many netizens took an interest in the petition's content.
The petitioner started the complaint by saying, "Even though I am a trot singer, I am writing a complaint because there are so many Trot based shows in the music broadcast channels. It seems there are only Trot shows in the broadcast network in Korea. It feels like each broadcast company is competing with one another over the viewer ratings, and I feel they should refrain now."
The petitioner mentioned the tough times with the COVID19 pandemic and explained, "I want to watch tv in comfort. Currently, the Trot trend is sweeping up Korea because of the popularity of one Trot competition show."
He continued to write, "It seems only the singers from the audition are on TV, are even appear in advertisements. Many talented singers are unknown but cannot even show their faces on tv because they do not have the support of a large agency even after decades of hard work."
The petition was started on the 9th of last month and is to be closed on the 9th of this month. Only 723 people signed the petition as of the 8th. However, quite a handful of netizens are agreeing with the petitioner as they leave their opinions on an online community.
Netizens have commented, "I agree, there's nothing to watch tv starting last year if you don't like Trot," "This is so right, I wish the broadcast companies stop making shows based on the Trot genre," "I'm really tired of Trot," "I think this is only a trend and needs to stop, people need a variety of shows to watch not just shows with the same Trot singers," and "I don't like Trot singers now since that's all I see when I turn on the television."
On the other hand, there are considerable objections as netizens comment, "It's only been one year that Trot became popular, it's too soon to complain," "This petitioner should write a petition to the Blue House but to the broadcasting stations," and "I don't understand why this person is getting tired of Trot, it's not everywhere."

bruh....ok


The actual starving are too weak to make such a trek.
These are folk who want to avoid starving.
Would you like to check their BMI before allowing them to apply for asylum?
Another American with no compassion.
I can only imagine how 7,000 plus caravan can travel thousands and thousands of miles by foot and be able to eat and drink and pass through other borders, all uncoordinated and spontaneous without millions of dollars being pumped in by Leftist groups to help them make their incredible journey.
And you just keep parroting the party, make that the Trump line. How does it feel being a parrot? Do you ever have actual thoughts of your own? Ever?
I heard Guatemala found a bunch of ISIS infiltrates in the group.
Should Americans return (if practicable) the Statue of Liberty to the French?
Do you still wonder why I hate Trump?
And just dump 'em on the Boulevard"
If you think that you are an idiot.
People bring their own meager food and savings and maybe a bit of jewelry.
They beg, buy, steal what they can on the way to survive.
people on the way help them.
There wouldn't even be 100 Muslims in that caravan!
Whenever you begin with "I heard ..." we all know it is going to be a propaganda lie.
Well, I thought Trump was an ardent racist. If so, why are they coming to America? I would think they would stop in Mexico, or is that a sh#thole country?
In fact, why not just continue to Canada, the Progressive utopia of North America. I wonder why they want to be put in cages.
Bensman suggested a "healthy skepticism" of Morales' claims is warranted, as the Guatemalan president has been dogged by accusations of corruption and is currently seeking $15 billion in security assistance from the U.S.
All of the journalists down here believe that this is bulls**t, and Morales is just trying to look good to Pence, Trump, and the U.S., but there hasn't been any reporting or news regarding this issue in Guatemala. Since most of us cover the interior ministry and the police, and they always make a big show whenever they capture someone, we think it's bulls**t.
All of the jo ...[text shortened]... d the police, and they always make a big show whenever they capture someone, we think it's bulls**t.
What if DOCTOR Ford said they were ISIS.
Would that be credible enough for you?
I omitted my first post.
Your own article says the claim is BS.

Fire authorities have called in extra resources from the eastern states, as they urge people to be aware of a heightened risk of bushfires on Christmas Day in Western Australia.
Temperatures are set to soar on Christmas Day
An air tanker has been sent from NSW Rural Fire Service in case of fire
People are urged to ensure they are bushfire ready
Department of Fire and Emergency Services South-West Superintendent Andy Wright said the risk of bushfire was higher than usual for this time of year.
"Given the incoming temperatures forecast for Christmas and Boxing Day, we are taking extra precautions," he said.
DFES said the New South Wales rural fire service had sent a large air tanker over to WA yesterday.
Perth is set to hit 42 degrees, Bunbury 40 degrees, and Busselton 39 degrees, according to the Bureau of Meteorology late yesterday.

Mr Wright said conditions were tipped to be better than during the most recent Margaret River bushfires which started on December 8 and burnt 6,000 hectares.
"The temperatures are right up there, [but] the winds aren't as strong as we've seen just previously in the Margaret River fires," he said.
He urged people to ensure they had a bushfire plan ready to go, and to remain aware of any DFES warnings.
Holiday town fears
Thousands of tourists have flocked to the South West coast, including Busselton and Margaret River.
The Busselton jetty is a popular attraction in the tourist town
Busselton's emergency service manager, Blake Moore, said a harvest and vehicle movement ban had been put in place for Christmas and Boxing Day.
"We haven't placed (these bans) on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in the past," he said.
"One of the reasons we have put that harvest and vehicle movement ban is to try and stop any potential sources of fire on those days."
Mr Moore said signage had been put up around the region urging tourists to keep aware of fire warnings.
Volunteers prepared
Ian Mitchell, a volunteer firefighter with the Yallingup bushfire brigade, says brigades are well prepared.

"We hope for the best and prepare for the worst," he said.
"We're always pretty prepared; all of us have our gear in our car, so if we get a call, we can go straight to the fire shed, our trucks are all prepped."
Mr Mitchell said even on Christmas Day, people should make sure they were familiar with their bushfire plan.
"It's Christmas Day, for God's sake — but we are urging people not to get too relaxed, not to take anything for granted and to have a plan and do your best to be prepared."

Long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II exposed as fraudulent dowsing device in Tanzania
Fake geologist and his fraudulent long range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II exposed as dowsing
Date: September 30th 2016
Yet another fraudulent geologist have been exposed as dowser and a modern "witch" in Tanzania.
A fraudulent long-range locator device was used as fake metal detectors with claims to be able to find gold on distances such as up to 1000 meters on vertical and horizontal directions.
The long-range locator device manufactured in China and named Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II have been exposed as dowsing device which falls in the category of witchcraft and not a science.
The electronic circuits within the device detect no gold but are exclusively used to defraud people.
Owners of such devices collect money from gullible small scale and artisanal miners in Tanzania. A simple test in our garden have exposed the owner not to be a geologist but a simple clown.
A person claiming to be a geologist who is able to find gold on distances up to 1000 meter by using mysterious detector arrived to our headquarter in Geita, Tanzania on September 30th 2016.
The device presented was a long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II manufactured in China.
Claimed capabilities of the fraudulent long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II
The device have unreasonably large control panel that simply does not fit into the 21st century.
The fraudulent long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II is supposed to have the capabilities to find copper, silver, gold, precious gemstones, tin, jewels, and aluminum on horizontal distances from 100 to 1000 meter and vertical distances from 5 to 50 meters.
Our preparation before the arrival of the witchdoctor and dowser and fake geologist
Before the self proclaimed geologist and in reality the witch dowser arrived to our location, we have placed one rock which surely had the visible gold inside of it into one of the bucket. As you can see on the video the rock with the visible gold inside was placed into the bucket number two. Some other buckets have been loaded with the simple rocks without gold just. You may see on the subsequent videos that the dowser was thinking to find the treasure and than he was disappointed to find out that those rocks were placed there to distinguish if he can find gold or rocks.
People involved have been our good friend from Kenya Mr. Victor Mollo and Tanzanian team member Mr. Laurence Sendeu and Mr. Jean Louis, mentor in the program Start Your Own Gold Mine.
Video: https://www.startyourowngoldmine.com/images/syogm/tanzania/2016/09/2016-09-30/SAM_0024.webm
Dowsing is type of witchcraft that is traditionally used to find water or minerals and buried treasure. It has no scientific basis and is nothing but a random chance.
Dowsing rods in the case of the fraudulent long-range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II are not made of wood, they are rather modern and made out of the radio antennas.
On this video you may see the witchdoctor and fake geologist explaining how the machine is supposed to work. We let him talk.
Preparation of the fraudulent device Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II
The device was placed in the garden, and the antenna was placed that was supposedly receiving the information from the device that was worn on the body of the dowser. We do not think that there is any real electronic or wireless connection between these two separate devices due to the very rough and simple looking fake electronics which we have seen. But we let it be for the time being.
Here below you may see Mr. Jean Louis in front of buckets without gold inside. We have placed some rock inside, just to give a false surprise to dowser who claimed to find only gold and not normal rocks.
Only one bucket out of 10 buckets contains the gold rock inside. The dowser and witch that that claimed to be a geologist who can find treasure, gold, silver anywhere on distances up to 1000 meters was asked to detect the gold on just one meter distance. And he was ready to show us how his device work.
More pictures of the fraudulent device Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II
Modern dowsing rods in the hands of a magician
Mr. Jean Louis with the modern dowsing rods in the hands is showing how these rods can be moved into any direction by the slightest movement of the hands. They can be fully controlled by the dowser and are in no way controlled by any electronics or waves from the earth. On this page we are exposing the dowser and the dowsing device to be fake and fraudulent and not functional to find any gold not even on the distance of only one meter, unspoken from 1000 meters.
So many attempts, and the fake geologist failed to find the gold in the bucket
The dowser started dancing around, moving into one direction or other direction, he controlled his dowsing sticks without telling us by using slight movements of hands, and tried to convince us how his machine works. But yet he failed to find the gold that was placed in the bucket number two. He attempted multiple times to find the gold but he failed. The device long range locator Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II have exposed as dowsing device and the fake geologist have been exposed as fraudulent. We have warned him that any further attempts to sell such fake geological services are fraudulent and that he may be persecuted by the law.
Videos of the fake geologist failing to prove that the fraudulent device Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II works
Here are few more videos of this fake geologist failing to prove that the long range locator device named Forward Gauss VR-1000B-II works.
In fact, he proved that nothing works, and he even openly admitted on the end to be fraudulent and that the device is fraudulent.
Devices such as long-range locators are fraudulent devices. Persons like these are fake geologist who fraudulently obtain moneys for their services that does not work.
Gold cannot be found by using this type of a device.
Device in itself does not work and has no scientific geological application.
It is not a metal detector and cannot detect any metal.
This device falls into the modern witchcraft and dowsing.
The operator of the device admitted openly that the device is fraudulent and that he must make money somehow. He also was willing to talk on seminars to the small scale miners to tell them how such device is fraudulent and that it cannot find gold.

Whārangi 1. What are wetlands?
Original swamplands (1 o 2)
Kohika excavation site
Significant wetlands of New Zealand
Wetlands and their landforms
Waituna wetland
Wetlands occur where there is poor drainage or where water accumulates.
Freshwater wetlands merge with lakes and rivers, and with brackish or saline wetlands near the coast.
The Resource Management Act 1991 defines wetland as 'permanently or intermittently wet areas, shallow water, and land water margins that support a natural ecosystem of plants and animals that are adapted to wet conditions.'
Diverse types and sites
New Zealand's high rainfall encourages wet soils, and because of its varied landforms there are many types of wetland. The nature of the wetland depends on factors such as substrate (the surface on which it lies, such as silt or peat), the degree of wetness, and the fertility (or nutrient status) of the soil or water. Examples include bogs, swamps, fens and marshes. Vegetation ranges from cushion plants and turf to rushlands and forests.
It is not always easy to classify a wetland – typically one type will merge into another. Often there is a mixture of swamp and pools, with patches of bog and marsh.
A wetland site usually has a close relationship with the adjacent or surrounding dry land. The boundary is not always easy to define, because wetlands visible on the land surface are linked to an unseen amount of groundwater within a larger water catchment.
Some wetlands dry out in summer. Others change over time as they fill with sediment or become eroded.
Life in wetlands
All forms of life need water, but wetland plants are adapted to cope with an oversupply of wetness and its consequences – such as nutrient shortages and the need for an oxygen supply to underwater parts.
Each plant, insect, bird, and fish of the wetlands lives in the places that match its needs, tolerances and ability to compete with other species. For instance, raupō (bulrush) prefers fertile lowland swamps, while the sundews, which gain nitrogen not from the soil but by trapping insects, live in less fertile sites such as bogs.
Māori use
The vast mosaics of lowland swamps and wet forests were important for early Māori. These places contained plentiful food – fish, birds, pollen and roots – and plants such as flax for weaving and thatching, and moss for bedding. The waterways within and between the wetlands provided canoe routes to these resources.
Loss of wetlands
Before human settlement (from around 1250–1300 AD), freshwater wetlands covered about 670,000 hectares of New Zealand. By the 21st century this had been reduced to 89,000 hectares – an estimated loss of 87%. Fertile lowland swamps have been lost in greater numbers than those that were infertile or at high altitudes.
There is regional variation: Southland retains some 35% of its original wetlands, whereas the Bay of Plenty has less than 1%.
Ecological and social significance
Wetlands are ecologically important because:
they contain a large proportion of New Zealand's native plants, including rare and endangered species
they provide habitat for native fish and invertebrates
They are home to a quarter of New Zealand's land birds, and provide vital feeding and resting areas for the many migrating birds that visit each year.
they help maintain water flows, lessening the impact of floods, and maintain water quality by acting as sediment traps
their plants also improve water quality by adding oxygen and taking up dissolved nutrients.
For people, they provide:
recreational and educational opportunities – nature study, fishing, hunting, birdwatching
income for those harvesting sustainable sphagnum peat and eels
essential materials (flax, rushes) for Māori crafts.
New Zealand's Wetlands of International Importance
Based on their ecology, biodiversity and hydrology, wetland sites are designated as Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. In 2007 New Zealand had six such sites, covering almost 40,200 hectares:
Waituna Lagoon, Southland
Farewell Spit, Nelson
Whangamarino, Waikato
Kopuatai Peat Dome, Waikato
Firth of Thames, Waikato
Manawatū River estuary.
Another 67 New Zealand sites qualify for this status.

Important phenomena are briefly described which have recently been discovered in the Crimean studies of flaring red dwarf stars believed to be the most common type of variable stars in the Galaxy. These phenomena include (i) long-lived radiation from a blueshifted component in the ionized-helium λ 4686 Å emission line in the active state of one such star, (ii) a long-lived absorption component in the stellar flare light curves with a lifetime exceeding that of the conventional flare emission, and (iii) solarcycle-like activity periodicity of the star EV Lac, whose mass is only 0.3 solar masses. In theoretical terms, a red dwarf star spot model is constructed which, in contrast to the commonly accepted model, agrees well with the solar spot picture.

I use Windows XP and Mercurial 1.9.2. I have svn and git added to PATH and it works good.
When I try to update my subrepos manually there is no problem, svn up and git pull works good.

A: If the Git for Windows (mysysgit) directory in your path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd, try changing it to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

This will enable git to work with Mercurial.

A: To debug your path problem, you can use the following file
# qnddebug.py
import os
import sys
import subprocess

print os.environ['PATH']
print subprocess.call(['git', '--version'])
sys.exit(23)

and run it with hg --config extensions.foo=qnddebug.py. Then you see in the first line which path mercurial uses to find programs. The last line is error-code of the git call, and must be 0. Maybe there is the output of git --version in the line before the exit status, but this is a platform-specific detail.
