The Greenhouse was closed in the early 1990s following the end of the Environmental course a few years prior.

"At the top of the Darwin Building, high above the concrete jungle of London, the Greenhouse is situated as if in a glass cloud almost oblivious to the industrial city outside…
Sir Robin Darwin had the place built as an integral part of the college, consider[ing] it important as a reminder of the natural world beyond the city limits.
The plants and animal life are now well established with mature trees up to the roof, many sub-tropical birds, fish and some reptiles. The large amount of leaf canopy and vegetation enable the birds to co-exist together, forming their own territories and social pecking orders.'
The light filters through the leaves with a glow of colour and dappled tones.
After watering, the humid air is heavily scented like a downpour on a summer's day.
The rich warbling, musical notes of the canaries fill the air with song, accompanied by the continual ze-ze-zeee-zeee of the zebra finches.
In the background, a loud abrupt whistle interrupts the flowing cascade of the canaries. Looking down from the foliage, a large gleaming yellow eye stares like a sulphurous sun against the darkest of skies. The glossy starling watches and then with remarkable agility and quick angular wing strokes, flies off; a blaze of topaz blue and emerald green."
The Greenhouse was closed in the early 1990s following the end of the Environmental course a few years prior. It had been built in 1961 according to the intention of then Rector Robin Darwin, whose studio sat at the back of the 'house amongst the canopies.
John Norris Wood had been appointed tutor of Natural History and Ecological Studies in 1971, caring for the plants and animals and holding specialist drawing classes up 'til it was shut in order to make space for new developments in the Darwin Building. As described in Boys's book: 'On looking further out beyond the glass is a back-drop of irregular sharp-angled buildings. The artificially created world outside is enveloping all around.'
At this point the only comparable space would be the enveloped Fern Garden, a gift from the USA Olympic Team – a thank you for 'our' hospitality and the lending of the College as a Conference Centre and hangout for the sporting elite.
The Fern Garden is off limits. Described as the Rector's 'private project' they are protected by bolts, balconies and the backs of bureaucrats as they type faceless emails concerning the protection of the ground against artistic endeavor. Reported to have cost millions to ship from Australia, the Ferns drain further thousands on each specialist hydraulic act, momentarily flooding their canopies in this false climate.

Stills from Dallas
In the closing scene of the third season finale of Dallas, dastardly oil baron J.R. Ewing was shot by an unknown assailant. The question of "Who shot J.R.?" plagued viewers until close to a year later, when it was revealed that he was in fact alive, and the assailant had been none other than his sister-in-law and mistress, Kristin Shephard.
The device of the 'cliffhanger ending' has long been popular in television, film and literature; and it now applies in our reading and understanding of news and current affairs, and in an escalated form. The Guardian's red "Live" box, and its flashing button that accompanied much of 2016 and continues to thrive in 2017—with three potential tabs going on its Minute by Minutes section as I write—has offered live updates and instantaneous reflection on the EU referendum, the US election and the March attack at Westminster. Updating information in fits and starts as events, results, impact and context are understood; establishing strange narratives that shift and change as things unfold, creating sort-of limericks out of world events.
It is not that the reporting of breaking news in the media is a new phenomenon—it has long been applied in radio, television and in newspapers, and is an important service—but live updates, 'Breaking News' Twitter profiles, or the BBC app that sends alerts to your phone, exacerbate the potential for 'cliffhanger endings' in our understanding of daily life. We can be strung to the page, clicking through as each update arises, the tension mounting when you are only halfway through a note when another part of the story unfolds. Unlike the fans of Dallas who had to wait months on their conclusion, ours are resolved and replaced, sometimes in a matter of seconds.
News, or at least the reading of news, moving predominately online and onto personal devices has, perhaps inadvertently, created a slump in investigative or reflective journalism. We often receive news in a mix, as if we are catching parts of various salacious conversations at orbiting restaurant tables, never quite catching the beginning, or most likely the end, either. Our understanding is with dribs and drabs of context, which will often be fact-checked at a later date, and edited a few times over. The expectation of substance, confirmation, and rigour has made way for news that is immediate, flexible and reactive. As the Blue-footed Booby bird feed undigested, regurgitated fish to their young, we are fed segments of information in bitesize chunks, dependent on the source, but without any particular understanding of it.
Our expectation for instant gratification has led to much-publicised accounts of our degrading attention spans, and think-pieces and advice columns on so-called digital detoxes. If we are to improve our understanding of current affairs, the impact of our decisions and the knock-on effect of events worldwide, a considerable space needs to be marked out for reporting and analysis that surpasses "Whodunnit?"

By Claudia Wiens/Alamy
Straddling two continents, the opposing strips of land that form the city are split by bustling seas. Lit by candy-floss skies, this 8000-year old metropolis undulates to the rhythm of traffic and construction, its rising population cocooned by smoke and mirrors. As summer burns, public life recedes to sloping tea rooms, waterfronts and 'ways, the hum of bazaars providing a backing track for calls to prayer. Bridges adorned with 24-hour neon lights suck hard on the electricity supply. A man-made party island 'for exclusive people' lies only meters from the western shore; it is awash with hysterical consumption.
On the streets, blasts of sentimental music, old-world street sellers, multinational chains and slogans lost in translation vie for the attention of passers-by – the city thrives on misinformation. As it shifts from a centre for industry to one of finance and servitude, legal controls are abolished in favour of investment and perceived renewal. As Las Vegas' signs eclipse their structures, so the structures here overwhelm their city. As neoliberalism struck, the foundations and those who had built them were remade and remodelled, while public services floundered; under- and over-water gateways were developed, creating new fissures between the ever-growing community.
Here, the principles of urban planning and building regulations stretch generously in the hands of gold rush tycoons. This elasticity has led to a long game of demolish-build musical chairs, one that retains only a fraction of its ancient landmarks and preys on the homes of the underclasses. Exploiting the city's propensity for natural disaster, the risk of earthquake damage is utilised to extinguish shantytowns, apartment buildings and entire districts without the consent of homeowners. Social or low-income housing is replaced with luxury, gated complexes – projects on steroids making unjustifiable profits for their well-connected developers.
The city's parklands are being evaporated in favour of fabricated, climate-controlled versions of the outdoors – monolithic meccas to the passé trope of the suburban American mall. Looping highways jut from the urban sprawl, overlapping to create platforms for floating discs of landscaped land, these sterile spaces assisting the fictionalisation of recent history. Concrete gardens are policed and cleared of any marks of human presence – be that wear and tear, or congregations deemed to be disrupting the sense of calm. Funded as part of the public programme to establish common grounds, the gardens funnel people into dead ends from which they can be collected up by officials – or left to enjoy the vantage.
Bedded tulips line the roadside, dancing in the sea breeze, unaffected by pollutants. Laid fortnightly in ornate compositions, the flowers recall the city's rich past in international trade – tulips having been an early form of state currency. Planted in shallow soil, the bulbous heads never droop; they hardly have the time with a life cycle so stunted. The responsibility of putting on the flower show falls to government cronies. The shallow graves are designed to hold out for just long enough for the flowers to convey the beauty and horror of the evolving landscape, before friends of the family swoop in to replant and gather the profits from the generous commissions.
In a trance-like state, participating residents marvel at the beauty of the lustrous city before them, captivated by its live-action transformation. As heritage sites are privatised, the remaining public parks are swathed in shade by residential and corporate developments. These monuments to an advancing economy are intended to steal the spotlight from the president's more fraught endeavours – from constructions steeped in controversy due to adverse geological impact through to the hollowing out of newspapers that refuse to practise ventriloquy.
As well as being a tool for aggressive gentrification, the up-down dance of construction includes the art of the replica. Residents are relocated and their homes turned to dust, only to be rebuilt in their own image, to a lesser standard and at an increased profit margin for the firms. Doors open wide for thinly veiled charm, expert bargaining or a solicitous "how's your father?" Permissions are granted to those willing to trade in party favours. Moving at such a rate, plans become outdated before they find fruition. Open lots and gaping holes dropping over 100 feet dot the city. With the last of the past century's relics teetering on the edge, concrete is filling every gap, as if the streets are a game of Tetris.
Planned as a location that could sustain 5 million people, the city now boasts a population of 15 million and it continues to rise. Bursting at the seams, the only way is up – or out. A new airport, due to be the largest in the world, is rising amid formerly protected wetlands, its connections requiring the levelling of millions of trees. Hills that had been preserved for recreation, as well as providing a substantial catchment for the metropolis' water supply are overrun. One of few remaining public lands, this combined forest and wetland has now been assigned for commercial business. As well as airport services, hotels and shops will line the stretch from the monumental structure. Investment, its pace set by the offer of build-own-operate leasing, is monopolised by those close to the ruling class. Initial development was soon isolated from international interest by a corruption investigation into the firms' senior executives – which was swiftly halted by government intervention, casting talk of the airport in hyperbole and the rhetoric of empire. "It'll be the largest in the world!" is the rallying cry, alongside promises that more roads and more structures will ease, rather than encourage the overcrowding.
As public space vanishes, the haphazard freedoms of social life are ever more curtailed. With views restricted so that all one can see is the show, the captive audiences either sent into waking comas or pitched into palpable unrest. Public space is eroded Revellers and protesters alike gather, celebrating and commiserating the lost world on rooftops, in past palaces, basement flats and peripheral playgrounds. As unrest brought tears of gas, small victories were soon over-ridden by force of government will. Shifting from the busy streets to the shade of overhanging trees, plans for urban revolution are shaped in a quiet hum. Games of cards and catch provide the setting for ground-up change in response to the top-down conversions. As a reflection of society, the city tremors as it is pulled in contradictory directions, stretched to its outer limits. Rapid fire burns public buildings, heritage sites become locations for financial speculation and the megalopolis rages on towards the multifarious conclusions of simulated life.

"He changed my path in life." Dwayne Johnson donated a car to a man who housed it when he was a homeless teenager
Kavita KV
At one time, the men spent their last money to buy a car for Johnson (Photo: screenshot / therock / instagram)
Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson gave a Ford F-150 to a man named Bruno. According to Forbes' highest-paid actor, he would not have achieved what he has without Bruno.
At 15, Johnson had to move from Hawaii to Nashville, where his father had to wait for him. As it turned out, no one was waiting for him there, and therefore the future actor was in a new city for himself without housing, money, and acquaintances.
The guy was sheltered by a man named Bruno – he worked as a wrestling manager and lived in a trailer. He also helped Dwayne Johnson get a job and build a career in wrestling – more precisely, take the first steps in it.
Johnson especially noted the act of Bruno when the guy wanted a car for himself – and the man spent the last $ 40 to buy him a used car. Of course, he was very old and was falling apart on the go, but still, he was very pleased.
Therefore, he decided to make a return gift for Bruno – and gave him a Ford F-150. The man at first did not even believe that this was happening to him, and then burst into tears: "Never in my life has anyone done this for me," he said.
A post shared by therock (@therock)
" I love you, brother. Your kindness and your heart have helped change my path in life. And when you want to retire, just let me know – I will always be there. Enjoy your trips! ", – wrote Scala on Instagram.

City of Dickinson to Focus on Customer Service, Communication, and Strategic Land Development With Four Positions, Three New
As the City of Dickinson embarks on a long-term initiative to rebuild infrastructure and build new assets to mitigate flooding, encourage high-quality development, streamline internal processes, and improve traffic safety, four key positions have been filled, three of which are new to the City. The City now has an Assistant City Manager, a Director of Communications, a Senior Planner, and our first female Fire Marshal.
In a commitment to serving the public with excellence, City Manager Theo Melancon created these new positions to instill trust and camaraderie within the organization and our community. "Since joining the City, I knew these positions were key to accomplishing our long-term mission," said Theo. "The vast experience that all four of these individuals bring to the collective table, combined with the vision set forth by Council and City staff, is going to mark a growth point for the City of Dickinson. I look forward to collaborating with them all as we set our sights on a bright future for the City."
Assistant City Manager- Chaise Cary
The City's new Assistant City Manager, Chaise Cary, comes to Dickinson with an extensive background in City management and deep Dickinson roots. Cary is a Certified Public Manager (CPM), an accreditation he received from the renowned Hobby School of Public Affairs at UH, and previously served the City of La Marque for nine years as Public Works Director (since 2015) and Interim City Manager (2021). Cary will oversee Community Development and Public Works as these are pivotal roles to improving quality of life and responsive customer service for residents. "I have an opportunity of a lifetime to come back home and serve the community where I was born and raised and learn under Mr. Theo Melancon," said Chaise. "We will accomplish great things here for the citizens of the City of Dickinson. "
Director of Communications - Jaree Hefner
The City's new Director of Communications, Jaree Hefner, brings a 12-year career in City communications having previously worked in Galveston, La Porte, and League City. She is tasked with creating transparent and open lines of communication between the City and our community members. "Having grown up spending Sundays across the table from my grandmother at Rogers, Dickinson is so very special to me," said Jaree. " I look forward to creating an open and transparent dialogue that builds trust between the citizens and the City while building immense civic pride within our community through community events."
Senior Planner - Yvonne Briscoe
The City's new Senior Planner, Yvonne Briscoe, brings over five years of experience in City Planning to Dickinson, having most recently served the City of Baytown. With the City in the process of putting together the Comprehensive Plan, and a revamp of the Code of Ordinances and Land Use Plan on the horizon, this role is essential in ensuring that we continue to think ahead of the development coming to the City and focus on taking the burden of paying for municipal services off of single-family homes. "I want to make development easier for people. We have a beautiful community that we can build on, and I would like to make it easier for development, whether commercial or residential, in the City of Dickinson," said Yvonne. "I hope to bring transparency and a very clear process of development to the citizens of this community as we transition to a fully digital world."
Fire Marshal - Shonna Bellow
The City's first female Fire Marshal, Shonna Bellow, is a certified firefighter/paramedic and peace officer. She served as the Assistant Fire Marshal for Texas City for over 11 years and hopes to bring the knowledge and experience gained to the City of Dickinson. "My goal as the City's new Fire Marshal is not to come in and attempt to fix what isn't broken but to build a good relationship with the citizens and enhance the City in the areas that I have experience in," said Shonna. "I believe we can create a safer City by engaging the community through service and education."
"The citizens and businesses of Dickinson made it clear that they were looking for the City to be more responsive and transparent, and I have worked diligently with City staff to answer that call," said Mayor Sean Skipworth. "Theo's addition of these positions, and experience that the individuals filling them bring with them, is building out a framework at City Hall that the citizens can count on to bring about change. I am thrilled to have Mr. Cary, Mrs. Hefner, Mrs. Briscoe, and Mrs. Bellow join our team."
To stay informed about the initiatives mentioned above and all that the City of Dickinson is doing to promote a wholesome and vibrant community for all residents and businesses, please visit our website at www.dickinsontexas.gov.

The Governor's Nevada Drought Forum is off to a disappointing start. At an April press conference, with parched and dusty Washoe Lake as a dramatic backdrop, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval announced the formation of the Nevada Drought Forum, created by Executive Order. The eight-man committee consists of state government department heads, university system reps and the new boss of Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA).
As someone involved in water issues through Great Basin Water Network, I immediately worked my way through the state's phone system to figure out who was putting together the email list. Directed to the Governor's Office staff, I requested to be notified of upcoming meetings.
The first meeting, as it turned out, was last Thursday, June 11. I found out about it on Friday from a news article. These Drought Forum meetings are supposed to be open to the public, and surely they complied with the three day public notice requirements. But outreach to identified interested parties was lacking. Even the Central Nevada Regional Water Authority, listed as a "partner" on the Forum's website, didn't learn of the meeting until the afternoon before the meeting, too late to notify its member groups.
This is an ominous start to what should be an opportunity to bring the state together on drought and water issues. But this isn't the first time water decision making has been less than transparent. When Nevada and Utah were negotiating the division of the waters of Snake Valley which straddles our eastern border, the Nevada negotiating team comprised only state officials and SNWA honchos. There was absolutely no representation on the Nevada team from rural areas and water users to be directly affected. The negotiations were closed to the public, with participants sworn to secrecy. (Ultimately the agreement was not signed by the Utah governor).
Similarly when federal agencies withdrew their protests in 2006 over SNWA's massive water withdrawal in Spring Valley, just west of Great Basin National Park, the feds and SNWA entered into a confidential "stipulated agreement" process for monitoring the effects of pumping. Again, rural local governments, Tribes and the public were shut out of the process and the meetings, with the blessing of the Nevada State Engineer.
It's not too late for the governor and the state officials on the Drought Forum board to make public participation a priority. It's not just the right thing to do; it's also one of the few ways outcomes of the Forum may have a chance to serve the entire State of Nevada.

Welsh GT stars get ready for 2020 + New Bentley Boy Seb Morris and others head to Bathurst
Posted on July 9, 2019 January 21, 2020 by wrdaadmin

BENTLEY FACTORY DRIVER MORRIS ANNOUNCED AS 'PRO' RACER FOR FRENCH TEAM CMR IN GT-3 EUROPE RACING. Bentley factory driver Seb Morris has been announced as the 'Pro' driver for French team CMR (Classic & Modern Racing') in this season's five-round GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup – adding to the Welshman's works commitments in the global Intercontinental GT Challenge. Seb , will dovetail his driving duties with the manufacturer's full works squad, run by M-Sport, with his new role at CMR in GT World Challenge Europe at the wheel of a customer Bentley Continental GT3. Seb is already a proven force in the championship formerly known as Blancpain Endurance Cup, he immediately established himself as a driver to watch and one of the quickest on the grid. Now entrusted by Bentley with the Pro driver role at CMR, the 24-year-old is delighted to be making a return to the pan-European championship for a third year and extremely happy to remain part of Bentley's expanding customer race programme as part of his prestigious works role.
"It's fantastic news to be placed with CMR by Bentley for the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup" I'm really looking forward to starting work with the team and getting preparations underway for the start of the season in April at Monza. Obviously, it's a huge honour to be entrusted by Bentley with the Pro driver role in one of CMR's Bentley Continentals this year and, along with my factory drive in the Intercontinental GT Challenge, I'm determined to deliver the absolute best performances I can for Bentley throughout 2020. It's set to be a very exciting year, I've never looked forward to a season in racing as much!"
Following a two-day official test for the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup competitors at Paul Ricard in France on 12th/13th March, the opening round will take place at ultra-fast Monza in Italy over the weekend 18th/19th April.
Starting with the Bathurst 12 hr race at Mount Panorama in Australia, the growing band of Welsh drivers in International racing action are headed by Seb Morris, who has joined the official Bentley team for the 2020 season having been chosen as one of new breed of young drivers to become 'Bentley Boys! Seb who won the 2017 British Gt Championship, and amongst his awards were the 2011 WRDA Welsh Young Driver of the Year and the 2016/17 Neil Cunningham Memorial Trophy .
2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge consists of 5 races, starting with the Bathurst 12 hr race, the Bentley team will run 2 cars, one for the highly experienced team of Maxime Soulet (Belgium Jules Gounon (France)and Jordan Pepper (South Arica). In the other car is a British trio of Seb Morris with Oliver Jarvis and Alex Buncombe as his team-mates. "It's actually been a textbook route from customer racing into the works team for me," said Morris, who won the British GT title in 2017. "I first raced the Bentley Continental GT3 in 2016 for Team Parker Racing in British GT, which we went on to win! (and won 10 races in 3 years with numerous fastest laps and track records) . Thanks to race all those race wins Seb was selected last year to join the works team in several long distance races in 2019 and impressed with his raw pace!. Seb summed up' Now as a fully-fledged works team driver, I can't wait to start my career as a Bentley Boy."
Bentley's Director of Motorsport, Paul Williams, added: "We've been very careful to grow and adapt our programme in a way that is sustainable for us and beneficial to both our new and old customers, and I am very pleased that we have attracted teams that operate at the highest level. Bentley Team M-Sport has been instrumental in enabling us to grow our customer programme and build the Continental GT3s required for 2020, while also preparing for Bathurst 12 Hours and planning an extensive test schedule that will benefit all of our teams."
Also at Bathurst for the 12hour race are Welsh Legend Jules Westwood (Lamborghini) and Cardiffs Matthew Parry (Aston Martin)
Meanwhile stepping into the seat at JRM that Seb has vacated will be 'Strickly Come Dancing' star Kelvin Fletcher who with Martin Plowman will race with JRM Racing and Bentley this season.
Devaudens Nick Jones and team-mate Scott Malvern will race with Team Parker Racing and Bentley this season, taking the place of Llanellis Ryan Ratcliffe who will move to the Porsche GT Cup that supports the heavily televised British Touring Car Championship!
Andy Meyrick has re-signed for a fourth season with Spanish team, Bullitt Racing for 2020 as the team take on the Michelin Le Mans Cup in a Bentley Continental GT3.
Meyrick, has considerable experience of the Bentley taking wins in 2014 Silverstone and Paul Ricard as well as podiums at the 2015 Paul Ricard, Monza and Nürburgring endurance races.
"I'm excited to take the next step with Bullitt with the eventual target of a place on the 24 Hours of Le Mans grid," said Meyrick. "I have enjoyed a great relationship with Bentley for a long time now and combining this with my three years at Bullitt Racing; I'm very excited for the 2020
The Michelin Le Mans Cup comprises of five two-hour races at the Barcelona, Monza Paul Ricard (F) and Spa-Francorchamps with the finale in Portugal. Moreover, the series includes a 'blue riband' double-header supporting the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans, made up of two 55-minutes races in the middle of June.
"It's fantastic to have Andy back as driver and Team Performance Director for Bullitt Racing's fourth season of racing and the step up to GT3," said Stephen Pattrick. "Andy has been instrumental in making the change to Bentley and to race the Bentley Continental GT3. Meanwhile Andy and his wife Becky are expecting their first baby shortly.
Meanwhile. Cardiff boy Jann Mardenborough @Jannthaman is starting his 5th year in Japan
Seb & Rick battle through at Donington in the last race in the 2019 British GT Championship, but Ryan Ratcliffe & his new teammate posted a non-finish after gearbox failure, meaning that Ryan's fine drive went unrewarded!
In qualifying Seb & Rick were only able to post the 11th fastest time whilst Ryan and his new teammate Jordan Witt were dead last in the GT3 class. However the Team Parker mechanics found that one of the cars turbos was faulty and having changed it, a recovery drive was in prospect for the no. 7 Bentley Continental.
Meanwhile in the JRM pits, the highly experienced Team Engineer Welshman Jules Westwood, explained why the new generation Bentley Continental GT3 car had only One British GT race all season! 'The Balance of Performance (i.e Handicap) given to us by the organisers has really hurt us, as they use the same factors as they use for the European races. It's better on European tracks as there are lots of sweeping corners but in the UK there are lots of Slow hairpins. The drivers say the car handles well but it's slow through the speedtraps so what we gain on one part of the circuit we loose on the rest. It's up to the manufacturer to appeal against the BOP, and we understand they have appealed but we haven't seen any change, and we have a weight and power penalty to carry today' Running 60kg of ballast more than the team had at the beginning of the year, plus less turbo boost, the JRM Bentley was the slowest GT3 car through the speed traps and consistently between 3mph and 4mph down on the competition on the straights!
Dream Team- Rick & Seb meet the public
At the start of the race, the 300th race in the British Gt Championship a clash at the back of the grid brought out the safety car. It what seems to be a series trend, the safety car went so fast that the grid was spread far and wide when the race restarted! Even so Rick Parfitt Jnr in the 31 JRM car and Ryan Ratcliffe in the no 76 car powered forward. However Rick dropped down to 30th place after being forced into a spin by a hit from an Aston Martin. Rick then put in a 'Drive of the Day' to hand over the car to Seb in 11th place!
Meanwhile Ryan Ratcliffe (still waiting for his hair to regrow after 'Braving the Shave') had risen to 6th place but shortly after handing over to his new team-mate Jordan Witt the car was back in the pits and out of the race with gearbox problems!
Joining the action in 12th place, Seb ever the professional racer had a major task with a 16 second gap to the Aston of Valentin Hasse-Clot. Setting the quickest first sector of anyone as he began his stint, Morris certainly declared his intent and was soon into the top 10 and s closed to within almost eight seconds of Hasse-Clot. However a Safety Car period meant Morris got ever closer to the Aston and stalked him and passed Hasse-Clot for eighth. Seb was on fire and he caught, and passed, Bradley Ellis' Aston Martin on the final lap – the car which earlier made contact with Parfitt Jnr – even though the JRM machine was badly squeezed. Completing a superb recovery Sebs his best lap of the race, 1m28.280 seconds, was just 0.4 seconds shy of the fastest of all to underline the tremendous performance.
"Our car on Sunday was one of the best cars I've ever had the pleasure to drive and Rick drove the best he has all season, he was the closest to me in qualifying he's ever been", added Morris, "JRM put together a brand new team for this year and they've done a superb job, I'm looking forward to hopefully being back with them next year – if they want me!"
With the British GT season now completed, Morris' focus returns to his Blancpain Endurance Cup season where he will reunite with Team Parker Racing for the fifth and final round at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain on Sunday, 29th September.
Morris gets a Bentley boost & gets set for Suzaka 10 hrs!
Wrda member Seb Morris has received a big boost after he was confirmed as part of the official works Bentley entry for the Suzuka 10 Hours, the fourth round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge.

The race which takes place on Sunday, 25th August will be Morris' first ever visit to Japan and Suzuka, the classic drivers circuit that is the home of the Japanese Grand Prix. Chester-based Morris will team-up with highly-rated pros Maxime Soulet and Andy Soucek. Combining forces in the Gold No.108 Bentley, the trio will start next week as genuine contenders for the podium and, quite possibly, victory.
"I'm incredibly grateful to Bentley for this opportunity", said Morris, "I've never been to Suzuka, so it's a real boost the team trusts my abilities to be able to go there and do the best job. Having worked with Bentley through its customer team programme for over four years now, I feel very comfortable in the Bentley environment and ready to perform. The Continental GT3 produces great downforce and performs well in high-speed corners, and I fully expect to be competing for top spot on the podium. It's going to be my first time partnering Maxime and Andy, both fantastic pro drivers, so as well as being determined to deliver the very best performance I can, it will also be an incredible chance to learn a huge amount from two of GT racing's most successful drivers."
Suzuka, of course, needs little introduction as one of the world's most well known and high-profile motor racing circuits. Home to the FIA Formula One World Championship's Japanese Grand Prix, the uniquely challenging 3.6-mile, 18-turn track has featured in some of international motorsport's most thrilling battles at the pinnacle of single-seater and GT endurance racing. This year's Suzuka 10 hours, sponsored by BH Auctions is the 48th staging of the race. The entry list eads like a Who's Who of GT racing competition and notably features 1998 and 1999 Formula One World Champion Mika Hakkinen. The first track action at Suzuka will come during pre-event practice next Friday, 23rd August, with additional practice and qualifying following on Saturday, 24th August – the latter getting underway at 13.00 (local time). Pole position shoot-out for the fastest 20 cars from qualifying will commence at around 17.30 (local time). On Sunday, 25th August, the Suzuka 10 Hours will begin at 10.00 (local time), 02.00 UK time.

2019 British GT Championship -Brands Hatch
Before the dramas! Rick leads Glen before Glen crashes out of the race!

There was high drama in British GT event Brands Hatch as Seb Morris was rushed to the medical centre after a damaged car ventilation made him pass out from heat exhaustion! He still managed to finish the 2hr contest in P9 for JRM and also remarkably achieves fastest stint time average!
British GT Championship racer Seb Morris is at home recovering today, Monday, 5th August, following a frightening conclusion to the penultimate round of the season at Brands Hatch where the JRM driver had to be dragged from his Bentley Continental after passing out behind the wheel.
Ventilation issues, which followed on after Rick Parfitt Jnr spun and put the JRM Bentley into the wall. Rick headed for the pitlane after recovering to the track in order to hand over to Morris. The officials insisting on the damaged bonnet of the Bentley being repaired, but missed that the ventilation system was damaged meaning the interior of the car filled with boiling-hot air throughout Morris' stint in the second half of the two-hour race which caused the Welsh racer to begin to lose consciousness. Morris still somehow managed to take the Bentley GT3 to an unthinkable ninth place and he also achieved the fastest average stint time…truly remarkable.
Testament to his incredible fitness, Morris made it back to the pitlane but when he arrived at the team garage he had to be physically dragged out of the car by the JRM crew who administered water immediately, trying to cool Morris' body temperature. Fellow teams up and down the pitlane also rushed to the Chester-based driver's aid before he was transferred to the circuit medical centre.
Thankfully, when his body temperature had reduced to normal levels and fluid levels stabilised, the BRDC Superstar and Motorsport UK 'Team UK' driver was permitted to leave the track around an hour or so after the incident.
"In the whole of my stint the car was over-heating, the heat was coming straight into the car and I started to feel really strange", explained Morris, "There was no air coming in with the ventilation having been damaged after Rick's accident, I really did start to struggle and I was even being sick in my crash helmet. I started to feel like I was passing out! The temperature inside the car was hitting 70 degrees, it wasn't far off being hot enough to boil water, and the heat was coming direct into my face. Somehow, I managed to keep going and I think that's testament to my fitness. It was the deepest I have ever had to dig in my life, the toughest thing I've ever had to do and definitely the longest hour of my life! Morris added: "When I got into pitlane the team had to drag me out of the car as I'd passed out, they started throwing water on me and trying to cool me down and then all of the other teams saw what was happening and they all started to do the same which was fantastic – I can't thank them all enough and, of course, the circuit medical staff who were amazing. They took me away on a stretcher to the medical centre and I was in there for an hour while they started to rehydrate me and keep a check on my body temperature and all my fluid levels. It was really frightening, all I can think is I'm so thankful I've trained as hard as I have with my fitness, that definitely helped to save me from a potentially massive accident."
At least he and Rick scored 3 points! However it was Ryan Ratclffe who posted a 'No score' after his team-mate Glyn Geddie, had crashed hard at Westfield Bend, bringing out the safety car!
All the while trying to apply pressure to the group of cars ahead, the JRM driver was feeling increasingly unwell and yet he miraculously managed to not only take the chequered flag, but also finish within just a couple of seconds behind the top five.
"Even with the damage and the ventilation problem, I still posted one of the fastest laps of the race and that's thanks to the great job JRM did with the set-up", reflected Morris, "If we hadn't been prevented from leaving the pits without the bonnet repaired, I think we could have been fourth or fifth to be honest. In the end, though, I'm just relieved I'm OK…"
In the points standings Ryan & Glynn will finish in 2nd place in the Silver Class after Wilkinson & Ellis scored enough points to win the Class. In the GT3 Drivers championship Ryan and Glynn are in 10th place but only 3.5 points ahead of Seb & Rick in the battle of the Bentleys!
I am sure that neither team thought that would be the sole point of interest, at the start of the season, when Ryan was fighting for the lead, but Seb & Rick went on to win the 1st race at Oulton Park!
Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit in Leicestershire will host the final round of the British GT season on Sunday, 15th September.
Total Oils 24hrs of Spa postscript. It was a bad day at the office for the Bentley squad, with only 1 car finishing out of 4 official entries and The Team Park pro-am squad entry! In Qualifying Seb Morris had the satisfaction of coming out as the 4th fastest driver out of the 16 strong driver team, but he was never able to compete in the race, after Callum MacLeod stopped at the side of the track with a engine blow-up after only 6 laps! The Team Parker entry only lasted 51 laps before crashing out, leaving Ryan Ratcliffe and Andy Meyrick on the sidelines too! Only the car of Lucas Ordonez, Andy Soucek and Pippo Derani made it to the finish, albeit in 29th place, 6 laps behind the winning Porsche 911 GT3 R and the 2nd place Porsche making it a Porsche 1-2
Ryan Ratcliffe and Glynn Geddie took third overall, during round seven of the season at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, 21st July, after a nail-biting finish to the race!
Qualifying on Saturday, 20th July, was impacted by some typical Ardennes weather with heavy rainfall prior to the start of the first session meaning a fully-wet track. But Ryan finished as 2nd fastest just ahead of Rick Parfitt Jnr! Session two, however, didn't go to plan for Morris – GT3 lap record holder at Spa – and in a less than straightforward run he had to settle for the 11th best time. On combined times from the two sessions, the No.31 JRM Bentley lined-up eighth on the grid but although Glynns'time was slower than Morriss', the Team Parker no 7 Bentley would start in 3rd place for Sunday's afternoon's two-hour race.
The Race – 2hrs – Rolling start
In the opening hour of the race Ryan settled into third place in the Bentley Continental GT3 before setting after Ian Loggie's Mercedes ahead, passing and chasing down leader Oli Wilkinson. Opting to leave the Bentley out for an extra lap as the pits were busy was an inspired decision by the Parker Racing team, as it had the second quickest stop in GT3, putting Glynn out in second place.
However, the Scot was hunted down by Rob Bell and Callum MacLeod in the final stages, working hard to fend off attacks all over the circuit. Things came to a head late on, as McLeod got a run on both cars, and they went into Eau Rouge three abreast!
There was further drama on the final lap as Glynn and Bell continued to fight over third place, as oil at the last corner caused chaos! With cars spinning and running wide, Glynn shot across the line in the final podium spot. After the race Ryan Ratcliffe summed up "We had a great race. Loggie had an amazing start in the Mercedes and got past me going into the first corner. I managed to pass him when we got into traffic and from then on it was a case of getting my head down and chasing the Aston. You got some pockets where you got through traffic really well and some where you didn't, but to be fair to the GT4 cars they were really good. It was the backmarkers in GT3 which were hard to get past. It was horrible watching the end of the race; I'd rather be in the car! It was enjoyable though and Glynn did really well. It puts us in a good position for next week and the team are in good spirits too." Glynn Geddie commented "If that's what the whole 24 Hours is going to be like, then it will be a tiring one!
Meanwhile Seb & Rick experienced a continuation of the misfortune which has unfairly hampered their 2019 British GT Championship c hallenge when two luckless penalties and a tyre blow-out ruined any hopes of a podium. Qualifying on Saturday, 20th July, was impacted by some typical Ardennes weather with heavy rainfall prior to the start of the first session meaning a fully-wet track awaited Parfitt Jnr. Lapping well in the challenging conditions, he ended the run with the third fastest time overall.
Session two, however, didn't go to plan for Morris – GT3 lap record holder at Spa – and in a less than straightforward run he had to settle for the 11th best time. On combined times from the two sessions, the No.31 JRM Bentley lined-up eighth on the grid for Sunday's afternoon's two-hour race.
With JRM team-mate Rick Parfitt Jnr having to serve a stop/go penalty early in the 120-minute race, following contact with one of the Lamborghinis, a second penalty had to be served during hour two after officials deemed the mid-race pit-stop to have been fractionally too short.
Incredibly, a puncture with around 20 minutes to run added real insult to injury and necessitated a third unscheduled stop. Chester-based driver Morris eventually went on to take the chequered flag in an exasperating 12th position, 10th in the Pro-Am class.
"We qualified out of place and everything went wrong from there really", said the BRDC Superstar and Motorsport UK 'Team UK' driver, "Rick got into a tangle on the first lap, which gave us the first penalty, and then we were a fraction of a second too fast in the pit-stop. When I had the blow-out, it just rubbed salt in the wound.
"In terms of my performance I was happy, after all of the penalties and issues there was no chance of a result so I just used the race as a test session really ahead of the 24 hour race next weekend. I can't wait for that, racing as a factory driver with Bentley is the biggest opportunity of my career so far. From the point of view of British GT, though, I just hope we can have some better luck soon."
The points gained leave Ratcliffe & Geddie in 8th place overall with 52.54 points ahead of Morris & Parfitt Jnr who are 9th overall with 46 points. Ratcliffe & Geddie remain 2nd in the Silver class 10th points behind race winners Wilkinson & Ellis.
Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit in Kent will host the penultimate round of the British GT season two weeks from now on Sunday, 4th August. In the meantime everyone will remain at Spa-Francorchamps for the weekends prestigious Total 24 Hours of Spa.
Total 24 Hours of Spa. The first sessions get underway on Tuesday, July 23, with the race itself on starting on Saturday July 27.
Welsh Drivers Seb Morris, Ryan Ratcliffe and Andy Meryick are set to star at Spa Francorchamps . 2019 British GT championship. The focus for GT3 action shifts to Spa-Francorchamps for the next 2 weeks with Round 7 of the 2019 British GT championship due on 21st July. The Classic Ardennes circuit should suit the Bentley Continental GT3 cars better than Donington Park did. In contrast to the East Midlands circuit with its 2 hairpins and a slow chicane, Spa is a classic drivers circuit with plenty of high speed corners in its 4.35 miles. In fact Seb Morris holds the GT3 Lap Record set in 2017 with a time of 2m18.821. This was in his championship year with Rick Parfitt Jnr in the Team Parker Racing Bentley Continental GT3. Ryan Ratcliffe had his best result in 2018, when he held off a gaggle of cars in a wonderful, defensive drive that saw him & Rick Parfitt Jnr on the podium after finishing in 2nd place, and a repeat of the result would see Ratcliffe and his 2019 team-mate Glen Geddie take the lead in the Silver Class standings. The only fly in the ointment is the Balance of Performance handicap handed to the new generation of the Bentley in the British GT championship.

Ps Ryan Ratcliffe has being doing a 'Brave the Shave' charity fundraiser for McMillian Cancer support and raised £13,300 so far and hopes he can get it to 15K! https://bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk/shave…/ryan-ratcliffe
After the British GT race finishes the drivers will stay in Spa for the classic Total Oils 24hrs of Spa, July 27/28, which is round of the Blancpain Endurance Championship. Having scored the first win for the new Generation car in the Brit Gt series, Seb Morris has shown some impressive form in Blancpain championship this year, however the car has been beset with problems and team has so far not reaped the benefit.
However he has now been drafted in to the Official Bentley factory squad, as they celebrate the centenary of the Bentley marque! The founder W.O Bentley built his first car in 1919, and his cars went on to score several wins in 24hr races.
The Official Bentley team run by M-Sport, the team set up and run by Rally Legend Malcolm Wilson, have entered 4 cars in an all-out attempt to score an outright win at Spa! With the cars number 107 to 110, Morris will be partnered in car 109 by Rodrigo Baptista from Brazil and Callum Macleod who he knows from British Gt racing.
In car 110 Lucas Ordonez, whose first races was with us the WSSCC, and he is partnered by the ultra-quick Andy Soucek also from Spain, and Pipo Derani from Brazil.
Additionally in the Pro-am Class, in Bentley car 31 run by Team Parker Racing will be Ryan Ratcliffe and Glynn Geddie plus the highly experienced Andy Meyrick and also Derek Pierce.
All 5 Bentleys will be part of a record-breaking 72-car entry list! With some top line and formidable opposition, however the Bentley driven by part of the M-Sport team in the Spa race, recently won the 6 hr race at Paul Ricard, so they have the pace and longevity.

Q: What does a++ mean in C? I am trying to understand the basics of C programming and I'm kind of new to C, I am failing to understand why the output of my program is:
1 2
1 1

Quite alright, I understand the output from the first printf() but I do not seem to get the logic behind the second printf(). Why can't it display 1 2 as well?
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;

    printf("%d %d\n", a, b);
    printf("%d %d\n", a, a++);

    return 0;
}

A: a++ is post-incrementing a. That is, the value of a is copied before it is returned and then it is incremented.
As I mentioned in the comments, I get a different result to you, for the reason I explain below.
If you add printf("%d\n", a);, after your last call to printf() you'll see 2 because a has now been incremented.
If you want to see 1 2, you could pre-increment a (that is increment it and then use it), but you need to introduce a sequence point for this to be guaranteed to work because the order of evaluation of function arguments is unspecified by the standard and you want to use a twice:
printf("%d ", a);
printf("%d\n", ++a);

See it run!

A: The expression a++ evaluates to the current value of a and as a side effect increments a by 1.  The expression ++a evaluates to the current value of a + 1 and as a side effect increments a by 1.
If you had written
a = 1;
printf("%d\n", a++);

you would get the output 1, because you're asking for the current value of a.  Had you written
a = 1;
printf("%d\n", ++a);

you would get the output 2, because you're asking for the value of a + 1.
Now, what's important to remember (especially with ++a) is that the side effect of actually updating a doesn't have to happen immediately after the expression has been evaluated; it only has to happen before the next sequence point (which, in the case of a function call, is after all of the arguments have been evaluated).
Per the language definition, an object (such as the variable a) may have its value changed by the evaluation of an expression (a++ or ++a) at most once between sequence points, and the prior value shall be read only to determine the value to be stored.
The statement
printf("%d %d\n", a, a++);

violates the second part of that restriction, so the behavior of that statement is undefined.  Your output could be any of 1 1, 1 2, a suffusion of yellow, etc.

A: Post Increment, increament after use
#include <stdio.h>
 int main()
    {
      in a = 1, b = 2;

      printf("%d %d\n", a, b);    // 1 1
      printf("%d %d\n", a, a++);  // 1 1
      printf("$d", a); // 2
      return 0;

      }

Following is pre-increment :
#include <stdio.h>
 int main()
    {
      in a = 1, b = 2;

      printf("%d %d\n", a, b);    // 1 1
      printf("%d %d\n", a, ++a);  // Could Be "1 1" OR "1 2"... sequence is undefined here.
      printf("$d", a); // 2
      return 0;

      }

A: Actually, ++x and x++ increment x the same way. The only difference is that ++x returns a reference to x and x++ returns the previous value as a temporary. The "incremented after it's been used" explanation is incorrect.

Sports & Schedules
Support the Games Legacy and our Vision – Sport for All
The value of sport and recreation in our lives is indisputable. Not only does it provide both physical and mental health and wellness benefits, but participation in sports teams and clubs provides social interaction, motivates and inspires youth, and is proven to keep kids off the streets, off their phones and improve their academic performance. For seniors, it provides social interaction and helps maintain mobility and fitness – increasing quality of life and longevity.
But not everyone has equal access to sport. Some people are prevented from participating in sport by financial barriers. Others are deterred by physical barriers or a lack of infrastructure or adequate facilities. Few facilities in Renfrew County have appropriate infrastructure or equipment to allow people with disabilities to participate in sport.
By supporting the Renfrew County 2023 "SPORT FOR ALL FUND", you will help us to remove barriers to participation and improve the quality of life for people young and not so young, across Renfrew County.
The SPORT FOR ALL Fund will be the ongoing legacy for years after the Games have ended. It will support and encourage participation in sport and recreation in our communities.
Please note: You will be issued a tax receipt for any donation of $20 or more.
Your donation will ensure that:
individuals who need a little financial assistance to participate in sport will receive it;
our communities can receive funding to improve infrastructure to ensure that sport is accessible to people with disabilities or the elderly; and
sports facilities/centres can create new programs or purchase equipment necessary to ensure that people can participate in sport safely.
We want to ensure that the Fund will grow and continue to support accessible sport in our communities in the years that follow.

Top Packaging Summit last week was the place to be for exchange of ideas across all borders in the value chain.
The conference also included the final of the Packbridge Challenge Competition. This is the Europe-wide competition for entrepreneurs aiming for the packaging industry.
The audience enjoyed 10 engaging presentations from 10 really interesting Start-up finalists. All with a thought through concept attractive for the industry.
Beside the grand price of SEK 50 000 a Best Pitch Award, sponsored by Empack, was given to the audience favorite pitch. The winner received exhibition space at the value of SEK 30 000 at Empack in Malmö and Stockholm.
This year, there were great competition and the jury had difficulty selecting a winner from all the great ideas and pitches. Two prices was presented but only one winner. And the winner was… Cellutech!
They got the price from the jury as the most promising concept. The surprising result from the voting from the audience was that Cellutech again won the price.
An amazing day for the Stockholm based start-up who develops packaging material from cellulose. For more information visit their web site at http://www.cellutech.se/.

Couple Uses Donor Advised Fund to Establish Lenora Borchardt Spay Neuter Center
Before giving to the Animal League of Gaston County, Michael and Lenora Borchardt did their "research" on the organization … by adopting four dogs from the animal care group.
Their familiarity with the Animal League made it an easy decision to donate toward the expansion and relocation of an existing spay neuter clinic to downtown Gastonia.
Using funds from the Michael and Lenora Borchardt Family Foundation – a donor advised fund with FFTC's subsidiary, the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community – the couple made possible the Lenora Borchardt Spay Neuter Center. The new, larger facility replaces the small but popular Gaston Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, which recently celebrated its 30,000th surgery. The gift from the Borchardts was in support of the couple's belief in rescue and adoption for all family pets.
"We are honored to provide the lead gift to expand and permanently locate the clinic in downtown Gastonia, our home of many years," said Lenora, adding the clinic was originally supposed to be named after Michael, also, but he graciously withdrew his because he felt the name would be too long. FFTC helped negotiate the naming gift.
The Animal League of Gaston County works with organizations in seven counties. The clinic has also received support from the George P. Patterson Family Fund at Foundation For The Carolinas.
The Lenora Borchardt Spay Neuter Clinic was opened in June of 2017. Terry Kenny, executive director of the clinic, helped facilitate the gift and praised the Borchardts for their generosity and support.
"The Borchardts have been our rocks for more than 10 years, and for many years, they donated without any desire for recognition," Kenny said. "Before they made their first donation, nearly all animals entering the shelter were euthanatized, there were hardly any rescues and all of the rescuers paid the vet fees out of their pockets. They changed the entire landscape of animal welfare in Gaston County."

Q: How to wait a thread to be finished Thread b = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {

         location_home.y = -4.5f;
         location_home.theta = 0;
     }

I used b.join() to wait a time until var location receive value from relocation to define value for location_home. But its wrong. thread b and if statement running simultaneously. Help me :( tks all

A: i think it would be good if you use Asyntask in this case:
private class YourThread extends AsyncTask {
    @Override
    protected Object doInBackground(Object[] params) {
        try {
            location = relocation();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Object o) {
        super.onPostExecute(o);
        //log("location success");
        if (location.y > 0) {
            location_home.x = 4.5f;
            location_home.y = 4.5f;
            location_home.theta = (float) Math.PI;
        } else {
            location_home.x = -4.5f;
            location_home.y = -4.5f;
            location_home.theta = 0;
        }
    }
}

and use it :

Q: Eclipse Plug-in Product DB Connection We have an in-house developed Eclipse Plug-in product which is deployed as an exe. It has been running for many years now and the original developer long gone. We do need to migrate the product onto a new server from a desktop. There is no java know-how in the organization.
While I did read about export the plug-in as an executable, I cannot for the life of me figure out where the DB Connection string is defined.
I see references to it as below:
addField(new StringFieldEditor(PreferenceConstants.P_CONNECTION_SERVER_NAME, "Server Name:", getFieldEditorParent()));
addField(new StringFieldEditor(PreferenceConstants.P_CONNECTION_SERVER_PORT, "Server Port:", getFieldEditorParent()));

String[][] authModes = new String[][]{{"Windows Authentication","0"},{"SQL Server Authentication","1"}};
addField(new RadioGroupFieldEditor(PreferenceConstants.P_CONNECTION_AUTH_MODE,
                                    "Server Authentication Mode",
                                    2,
                                    authModes, getFieldEditorParent(), true));

However, I cannot dig to th elocation where the server name and port are defined. Looked in "IAApplication.product", build.properties,config.ini,plugin.xml,plugin_customization.ini files, but couldn't locate it.
Any ideas on where this could be defined? In Eclipse preferences or elsewhere?
Any help in this regard will greatly be appreciated.

A: This appears to be using standard Eclipse preferences.
The preferences are stored in the workspace in the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings directory with a file name of plugin-id.prefs. This is a Java properties file.

Reburial of Newaygo homicide victim, Shannon Marie Siders brings some 'peace' to family, closure to some (video)
By Heather Lynn Peters | hpeters@mlive.com
NEWAYGO COUNTY, MI - As family and friends stood watching the reburial of Newaygo's Shannon Marie Siders on a cold, dreary Monday afternoon, some said the funeral service gave them a sense of peace they've waited years to experience.
Reburial of Shannon Marie Siders
Gallery: Reburial of Shannon Marie Siders
"It will hopefully guide me through the rest of my life. I'm already feeling a little bit of peace," said Shannon's mother, Mary Christine Siders, of St. Ignace, who was accompanied by members of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Mary Siders is Native American, which is why the 40-minute funeral service included Native American songs, prayers and rituals.
Shannon Siders, then 18, was last seen alive on July 18, 1989. Her badly decomposed body was found on Oct. 15, 1989, in the Manistee National Forest off M-82 and Thornapple Road in Newaygo County's Brooks Township - exactly 23 years ago Monday.
Her body was exhumed from the cemetery on July 26 as part of the criminal investigation and laid to rest for a second time during the 2 p.m. Monday service.
Shannon's father, Bob Siders, said he hopes the cold case investigation leads to an arrest of the person or people responsible for his daughter's death.
"It's time for some punishment. It's time for an arrest. It's time. It's past time. Someone has to pay," he said.
Monday's service included a Christian prayer by the Rev. Jonathan Riedel of Newaygo Congregational United Church of Christ and Native American songs and prayers from Sault Tribe members.
A spokeswoman for the Siders family, Amy Bonner, said during the service that she firmly believes the investigation will produce results.
"It was 23 years to this day that Shannon's family learned she was never coming home," Bonner said. "Shannon will get the justice she deserves."
Michigan State Police Detective Lt. Cameron Henke, commander of the Sixth District Special Investigation section, is leading the task force that was assembled in September 2011 to help solve the Siders case.
Henke has said the exhumation was worthwhile, but wouldn't elaborate on the latest findings. The investigation is ongoing.
Once exhumed, Siders' body was under the examination of Dr. Norman Sauer, a forensic anthropologist from Michigan State University, and Dr. Brian Hunter, a pathologist from Lansing.
Her body was brought back to Newaygo last week for the reburial, which was open to the public. Some of Shannon's longtime friends, who have been following her case since the day she disappeared, showed up to the event.
Among them was a former boyfriend, Brian Aishe, who attended the July 26 exhumation as well. Aishe said he too is hopeful the case can now be solved. Aishe was dating Shannon when she disappeared, but he working out of state at the time.
"Hopefully this turns out to be something really good," Aishe said. "At this point if something good hasn't come out of this to bring us closure, I don't know if anything will. But if you want my opinion I think it's right around the corner."
Anyone with information regarding Siders' murder is asked to call Detective Sgt. Scott Rios of the Michigan State Police Hart Post-Newaygo Detachment at (231) 873-3584 ext. 222 or call the toll-free tip line at 1-855-830-6848.
