I am really enjoying using our stay-at-home down-time to work on my documentary photography skills. I actually signed up for a photography class specifically on that topic that starts on Monday. I'm nervous – the last time I paid for a workshop I quit after 2 weeks because I couldn't keep up with the assignments (also I was 39 weeks pregnant), but this one was more expensive so hopefully my guilt keeps me motivated. Today we are going to leave the house even if we all freeze to death though, because these children are driving me bananas.
The kids went to school for 2 whole days this week, which was the first week back after vacation. We had Thursday off because it was snowing all day. We have Friday off because the wind is terrible and all the shoveling I did today was useless. Then it's the weekend again. Hopefully by Sunday we can go back to our regularly scheduled activities because this house is starting to feel REALLY small. I might have ordered 12 different kinds of organizing storage container today because if I have to be trapped inside all the time at least it's going to be in a clean house.
Here is some of what we did today.


Daredevil getting canceled over at streaming big Netflix raised fairly a number of eyebrows. When Netflix determined to ax Iron Fist, all of us thought that made sense. The first season was lukewarm, at greatest, and though the second season was an enchancment it nonetheless wasn't top-notch content material. Then, Netflix canceled Luke Cage. That shook up the web a bit as a result of Cage was miles higher than Iron Fist. The bulletproof hero's departure weighed heavy on many, however it was quickly brushed beneath the rug. Then, Netflix canceled Daredevil, and followers determined they'd sufficient. As reported by Deadline, a brand new report from Parrot Analytics reveals that Daredevil ranked fourth simply final week in viewer demand amongst each single digital unique within the US.
The solely three unique digital collection within the US that ranked larger than Daredevil in viewership have been Narcos, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Stranger Things. As you possibly can inform, Netflix has a stranglehold on the digital streaming demand. The examine measured "want, engagement and viewership" to provide you with their calculations. Daredevil completed November's ultimate week with near 30 million on-demand expressions. Deadline experiences that Netflix has "zero possession stake within the IP" of the Marvel reveals on their platform. That hurts, particularly since Netflix paid for the manufacturing of the Marvel reveals. Disney shall be launching their very own streaming service, Disney, subsequent yr. Their content material will slowly be pulled off Netflix, and it seems that the streaming big has no qualms with that.

Dark Souls Remastered - Discount for owners of the PC PTD Edition
After a long time there is now a discount for owners of the PC version of Dark Souls on the pc. Anyone who owns the first version of Dark Souls, published as "Prepare to Die Edition" PTDE via Steam, receives a 50% discount when upgrading or purchasing Dark Souls Remastered.
Owners of the PC version of "Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition" will be able to upgrade to "DARK SOULS REMASTERED" at a discounted price. Please feel free to take advantage of this campaign. pic.twitter.com/A3mEXG2tmi
- FROMSOFTWARE (@fromsoftware_pr) April 24, 2018
At the same time, the Prepare to Die Edition will no longer be available on Steam from May 8th. The remastered version will be released on May 25th. Whoever owns the game on Steam will of course keep it, Steam will not remove the purchased game. It is only no longer available to new players, who only get Dark Souls Remastered.
Dark Souls Remastered - Now with a discount
According to initial statements, there should be no discount. The fan base reacted very angrily to this. Because the upgrades for owners of Dark Souls are rather minimal and partly free by the Mod DSFIX to obtain. Only the improved online or multiplayer function was not enough for many players to justify a second purchase of the cult game.
The discount makes switching easier and should prevent the feared division of players. Just that PvP players looked forward to new opponents and PvE fans hoped for a revitalization of the "jolly cooperation", ie the interaction with like-minded people.
The multiplay system of Dark Souls ensures in all parts again and again for great experiences in which the players face the dangers or invasions by other players together.
Dark Souls Remastered will be released on May 25th for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4. The Switch release has closed postponed to summer.

Using up to 11 years of data from a global network of Global Positioning System (GPS) stations, including 12 stations well distributed across the Pacific Plate, we derive present-day Euler vectors for the Pacific Plate more precisely than has previously been possible from space geodetic data. After rejecting on statistical grounds the velocity of one station on each of the Pacific and North American plates, we find that the quality of fit of the horizontal velocities of 11 Pacific Plate (PA) stations to the best fitting PA Euler vector is similar to the fit of 11 Australian Plate (AU) velocities to the AU Euler vector and ∼20% better than the fit of nine North American Plate (NA) velocities to the NA Euler vector. The velocities of stations on the Pacific and Australian Plates each fit a rigid plate model with an RMS residual of 0.4 mm/yr, while the North American velocities fit a rigid plate model with an RMS velocity of 0.6 mm/yr. Our best fitting PA/AU relative Euler vector is located ∼170 km southeast of the NUVEL-1A pole but is not significantly different at the 95% confidence level. It is also close (<70 km in position and <3% in rate) to a pole derived from transform faults identified from satellite altimetry, suggesting that the vector has not changed significantly over the past 3 Myr. Our relative Euler vector is also consistent with all known geological and geodetic evidence concerning the AU/PA plate boundary through New Zealand. The GPS sites offshore of southern California are presently moving 4–5 ± 1 mm/yr relative to predicted Pacific velocity, with their residual velocities in approximately the opposite direction to PA/NA relative motion. Likewise, the easternmost sites in South Island, New Zealand, are moving ∼3 ± 1 mm/yr relative to predicted Pacific velocity, with the residuals in approximately the opposite direction to PA/AU relative motion. These velocity residuals are in the same sense as predicted by elastic strain accumulation on known plate boundary faults but are of a significantly higher magnitude in both southern California and New Zealand, implying that the plate boundary zones in both regions are wider than previously believed.

UK's largest greenhouses will meet 10% of tomato demand
posted by Charlie Hart
in Supply chain, Sustainability
The world's first low-carbon greenhouses are being built in the UK with the capacity to meet over a tenth of the country's demand for tomatoes.
Two greenhouses, which are being constructed in Norwich and Bury St Edmunds, will be warmed using waste heat from a water treatment facility to reduce the carbon footprint of produce by up to 75%.
Greenhouses are designed to capture and store solar radiation to increase air temperature, but in Europe this method alone can't provide sufficient energy to reach optimal growing temperatures all year round.
Most commercial greenhouses use another source of energy such as a gas-fired boiler to heat the air to allow in-demand vegetables such as tomatoes to be grown year round.
Closed-loop heat pumps will be used to transfer the heat from Anglian Water recycling centres to the greenhouses, cooling the facility's treated water outflow before it is returned to the environment.
Greencoat Capital, which has invested £120m in the project, said decarbonisation of the heating and agriculture sectors has been "disappointingly slow despite their enormous carbon output", adding the greenhouses would be a significant step to dealing with the issue at scale.
The greenhouses are set to be the largest in the UK at 13 hectares each –three hectares larger than the O2 arena. They will also be 7m tall to allow for crops to be grown vertically across guidewires. The produce will be grown hydroponically from nutrient-rich water solutions.
Once in full production, Greencoat Capital said the facilities would have the capacity to produce 20 tonnes of tomatoes every day, approximately 12% of the amount produced by the UK.
James Samworth, partner at Greencoat Capital, said: "We're very pleased to have achieved another innovative first in the UK renewable energy sector. Technology and cross-sector co-operation is continuing to unlock some amazing possibilities in energy and agriculture.
"We see considerable opportunity to invest in renewable heat in the UK, providing pensions investors with the predictable returns they require to pay beneficiaries, meanwhile reducing our carbon emissions as an economy."

A Manchester City Council report entitled "The Rationalisation and Development of the Manchester Metropolitan University Estate" dated July 24, 2013, said that, "The University is now reaching the final year of a £350m investment programme in creating new high quality learning environments, supported by key welfare and academic services administration in the city. Within Manchester the intention has been to unify MMU into one central campus, to bring the Didsbury, Hollings, Aytoun and Elizabeth Gaskell campuses together with the existing All Saints campus to create one sustainable, central learning environment. .... This will see the new Hulme Campus accommodating the Institute of Education and the Faculty of Health, Psychology and Social Care from the current Didsbury and Elizabeth Gaskell Campuses. The Aytoun and Hollings Campuses will be housed within All Saints, in the new Business School and in the refurbished Cavendish Building. The new Business School and Student Hub opened in September 2012, the remodelled and rebuilt and the Arts and Design Building opened in April 2013, the Cavendish refurbishment completes this summer, whilst the Hulme Campus is scheduled to open in September 2014."
Regarding the Hollings Campus specifically the report adds, "The Hollings Building is a Grade II listed building which sits on a 3.72 acres site. It will be vacated in the Autumn of 2013. The University are in discussion with the City Council and are in discussion with English Heritage to agree a development strategy for this asset. These discussions are ongoing. Given the buildings listing, its condition and the challenges that it presents in respect of creating an economically viable development proposition for this building, consideration is currently being given to engaging the market to establish if there are other viable opportunities which could be considered."
Below is a look at the Hollings Campus when it was still part of the University.
If you drive out of the city centre along Oxford Street it becomes Oxford Road and then Wilmslow Road. As Wilmslow Road passes through Rusholme you pass Platt Fields Park on your right and across the street from the park you will see a building that Sir Nikolaus Pevsner described as "a piece of pop architecture if I ever saw one".
The building in question is part of the Manchester Metropolitan University's Hollings Campus but when it was built in 1959 it was the new home of the Hollings Domestic and Trades College, which had been teaching cookery and domestic science in various incarnations since 1901.
The buildings were designed by City Architect L. C. Howitt who clearly had a sense of humour because in designing two buildings for a domestic science college he made one look like a toast rack and the other a fried egg.
Pevsner says of the building that it exhibits "a large number of very closely set steep angled concrete piers looping over at the top as parabolic arches. The floors, owing to this, decrease in depth from bottom to top ... The staircase windows slint like the arches."
A lower extension at the rear of the building, seen above, was built to provide workshops.
Manchester Metropolitan University says this of the Hollings Campus, "Hollings is world renowned for its teaching in clothing and fashion, food, hospitality and tourism management. It has excellent facilities and strong links with industry to help prepare graduates for a wide range of career opportunities.
Central to the Faculty's work is the close relationship it enjoys with professional bodies and the industries in which students find employment, both in the UK and abroad. This ensures that courses are both vocationally relevant and provides opportunities for industrial experience and work placements."
Manchester Metropolitan University operates seven campuses across Manchester and into Cheshire. Its long term plan is to close some of its outlying campuses and concentrate its activities in an ever expanding All Saints Campus, in Hulme. Alice McKeegan reported in the Manchester Evening News on October 30, 2012, that, " The Fallowfield landmark – named for its distinctive roof and wedge shape – has been declared no longer fit for purpose by bosses at Manchester Metropolitan University. ... It has appointed property group DTZ to help sell off its surplus sites"


I'm not replacing my video card, hard drive, power supply, or case. This is a straight "drop in" replacement for my existing Athlon X2 4800+.
First, a few words on why I chose these specific parts. Computer hardware is one of my few indulgences, but I do a freakishly obsessive amount of research before buying anything. Allow me to share my freakish obsession with you, dear reader. After all, that's what the internet is for.
Motherboard. The 965 Express was an editors' choice at Tech Report. It's the most modern chipset for the Core 2 Duo, too. ASUS is a well respected brand name, and I really like the fact that it has a silent heatpipe on the northbridge instead of a fan. Modern northbridges run very hot, and cooling them quietly can be a PITA because of their proximity to the CPU and video cards.
Memory. Fast DDR2 memory ain't cheap. And I won't go below 2 gigabytes, which is what I consider a mainstream memory configuration these days. Have you priced 2 gigabytes of DDR2-1066 lately? Personally, I think buying extremely fast memory is overrated; by the time the system has to reach beyond the L1 and L2 cache into main memory, the performance penalty is already so severe that a few additional nanoseconds isn't going to matter in the big scheme of things. That's why I went with a nice midrange DDR2-667, specifically the AData Vitesta memory which did quite well in a recent AnandTech value memory roundup. Even if you push the front side bus up to 400 MHz-- what I consider an extreme overclock-- that's still only (400 x 2) or DDR2-800 officially. And all the value DDR2-533 memory AnandTech tested ran fine at 800 speeds, as long as you bumped up the voltage a bit.
CPU. Core 2 Duo is clearly the benchmark champ at the moment. I've been a long time AMD enthusiast, but Intel finally abandoned the problematic Pentium 4 architecture and built a better mousetrap this time. The E6600 is the cheapest Core 2 Duo with 4 megabytes of level 2 cache. I'm a big believer in cache, so I'm not willing to drop down to the E6300 or E6400 which only have 2 megabytes of L2. This might be a little irrational if you actually compare the performance of both cache sizes on an apples-to-apples clock rate basis, but so be it. I loves me some L2 cache.
Heatsink. If you want a quiet PC, buy the best CPU heatsink you can afford. That said, the Scythe Infinity is definitely overkill for a Core 2 Duo system, even an overclocked and overvolted one. But it's such beautiful, magnificent, glorious overkill. It barely fit in my case. That just made me love it all the more. This monster barely gets warm under dual Prime95 load. Running it completely passive is a no-brainer, but make sure you have proper case airflow.
As a responsible overclocker, I also ensure the system is actually stable at these settings through hours and hours of Prime 95 torture testing. I still have those two instances of Prime95 running in the background as I'm writing this post.
So how did I turn my 90-pound weakling of a $320 CPU into a fire-breathing $999 monster CPU? It's quite easy. Read on.
Install the latest BIOS on the motherboard. This is standard operating practice whenever I build a new system. On the P5B, the flash utility is built into the BIOS and it even supports USB flash drives! Finally! I downloaded the latest P5B Deluxe BIOS from ASUS' web site, copied it on a flash drive, plugged it in. I then booted, pressed ALT+F2 during startup to access the flash utility, and it autodetected the new BIOS file. All I had to do was hit enter to start the BIOS update, and I was done.
Slowly increase the FSB speed in the BIOS. I have an E6600, which is a 2.4 GHz chip with a 9x multiplier. That means the FSB speed is 2400 / 9 or 266 MHz. As I increase the FSB speed, the CPU speed also increases. I first tried 333 MHz, which results in 333 * 9 or 3.0 GHz. As you can see in the screenshot, I've currently gone a bit further for 3.15 GHz. Remember, make small changes and test as you go. Don't immediately go for the highest possible overclock. Be conservative initially; you can adjust upward more later after you develop confidence.
Increase voltage to the CPU, and memory in the BIOS. To goose that extra bit of performance out of your system, increase voltages in the BIOS across the board. Don't worry, I'm not talking about massive increases here-- just slight boosts. I'm using 1.425 volts for the CPU (up from 1.35v), and 2.1 volts (up from 1.8v) for the memory. If what you want to do doesn't work with these modest voltage boosts, it probably won't work at all.
Boot and see what happens.
My computer won't boot. Don't worry. No harm, no foul. Unplug your system, find the clear CMOS jumper on your motherboard, and use it to clear the CMOS. You can also pop out the CMOS battery if you're impatient. Make sure you do this with the system unplugged, and give the system a full minute to clear the CMOS.
I can't boot into my operating system. Your overclocking settings are too aggressive. We already increased voltage, so you need to back down your overclocking settings in the BIOS.
It works! Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Don't get cocky. See next step.
Burn your new settings in with Prime95. Assuming you booted and logged into your operating system without crashing, hanging, or bluescreening*, your next job is to run torture tests to see if things are really working. Prime95 is your new best friend. You'll run one instance for every core in your CPU-- create a copy of the Prime95 folder for each core, and run the executables from those folders. Use Options, Torture Test, "In place large FFTs" to start. If you can run Prime95 this way for an hour, it's very likely your system is stable. If you can run Prime95 this way overnight, your system is guaranteed stable.
Now that I've gotten my Core 2 Duo system stable at 3+ GHz, I can bask in the glory of a system that's 50% faster than my old Athlon X2 4800+ -- at least according to SYSmark 2004. Not bad for under 800 bucks.
* Sounds traumatic, but if you want to make an omelette, you have to break some eggs. Don't be afraid to break stuff.

DEA seized enough fentanyl to kill every person in the US in 2022
Nick Miroff
The Washington Post • December 20, 2022
The Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday it has seized more than 379 million potentially fatal doses of illegal fentanyl this year, as Mexican drug-trafficking organizations continue to flood the United States with the cheap synthetic opioid responsible for record numbers of U.S. overdose deaths.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday it has seized more than 379 million potentially fatal doses of illegal fentanyl this year, as Mexican drug-trafficking organizations continue to flood the United States with the cheap synthetic opioid responsible for record numbers of U.S. overdose deaths.
The agency said it has confiscated more than 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder and 50.6 million illegal fentanyl tablets so far in 2022. That was twice the number of tablets seized in 2021, when more than 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses. Two-thirds of those deaths were caused by fentanyl, according to U.S. public health data.
Anne Milgram, the DEA administrator, said the seizures recorded by the agency this year contained enough fentanyl "to kill everyone in the United States," home to about 330 million residents.
"DEA's top operational priority is to defeat the two Mexican drug cartels — the Sinaloa and Jalisco (CJNG) Cartels — that are primarily responsible for the fentanyl that is killing Americans today," Milgram said in a statement.
A Washington Post investigation published last week found that illegal fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49. Fatal overdoses from fentanyl have surged 94 percent since 2019, and the drug now claims more lives in the United States than car accidents, gun violence or suicides, The Post reported.
The DEA seizure numbers released Tuesday represent only a partial count of the volume of illegal fentanyl detected by law enforcement agencies this year. The statistics do not include seizures tallied by U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the southern border, where authorities detected more than 14,000 pounds of illegal fentanyl — a record amount — during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.
Last month, CBP seized more than 2,900 pounds of the drug along the Mexico border, the highest one-month total ever, according to figures obtained by The Post.
Fentanyl, 50 times more potent than heroin, has become a billion-dollar business for drug cartels that produce the highly addictive narcotic in clandestine laboratories in Mexico. "Most of the fentanyl trafficked by the Sinaloa and CJNG Cartels is being mass-produced at secret factories in Mexico with chemicals sourced largely from China," the agency said in the news release.
The traffickers typically press the drug into tablets designed to resemble prescription pain pills or blend the fentanyl into the kind of powder mixtures sought by habituated opioid users seeking stronger doses. Some drug dealers in the United States also lace methamphetamine, cocaine and other illegal drugs with fentanyl powder to boost potency and get more customers hooked.
U.S. authorities estimate they are only catching 5 to 10 percent of the illegal fentanyl that crosses the southern border, primarily in commercial trucks and passengers vehicles that arrive at official crossings.
The DEA issued alerts last month warning that 6 out of 10 illegal fentanyl tablets sold on U.S. streets now contain a potentially lethal dose of the drug, up from 4 in 10 last year. U.S. agents and others on the front lines of the crisis said the cartels have boosted the potency of their tablets in response to market demand for stronger and stronger doses from customers who develop an opioid tolerance.
That has made the basic dosage unit — the tablet — even more deadly to a first-time user or someone who does not know they are consuming fentanyl.
Fentanyl pills sold on U.S. streets are often "made to look identical to real prescription medications — including OxyContin®, Percocet®, and Xanax® — but only contain filler and fentanyl," the DEA said, warning people against trying to buy any of those legal drugs through social media sites.
"Fake pills are readily found on social media. No pharmaceutical pill bought on social media is safe," the DEA said. "The only safe medications are ones prescribed directly to you by a trusted medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist."
The DEA said it has started providing a regularly updated tally of fentanyl seizures to track how much of the drug the agency is confiscating.

Category: Away Games. - ST ANDREWS BERWICK RANGERS SUPPORTERS.
How will we get on today?(not well).
well it's a short away trip today, Cowdenbeath is about a 30 minute drive. I'll pick up my dad and my friends Gordon and Ewan then head off to Central park. I'm optimistic for this game, God knows why. We have been put to the sword by Cowdenbeath this season a 4-0 defeat at Central Park followed by a 3-0 defeat at Shielfield. Cowdenbeath are close to us in the table and are a team we could take points from, we need to keep the points gap from Albion Rovers to stay away from the relegation spot. The result last week against Edinburgh City gave us a valuable and in my opinion an unexpected point, let's hope we can build on the performance we had in the last 30 minutes or so of that game and get a result today.
we arrived in plenty of time as usual and got parked. Then into the ground and a pie and a cup of tea (bovril for my dad). We had a good old chit chat with some Cowdenbeath fans and the stewards about the upcoming cup game against Rangers. There will be 4000+ at Central Park for that game, a far cry from the 300-400 that attend a league game. All hands on deck then but a massive payday for Cowdenbeath. £20 a ticket and half the gate from the cup games. So £40k if all tickets are full price, there will be concessions of course but with program sales and 50/50 draw tickets they should net at least £30k. Chit chat finished we headed for a seat in the stand for the main event.
Well it was another defeat and another sending off, we've now played Cowdenbeath 3 times this season. In those 3 games we have conceded 9 goals, scored 0 and picked up 5 red cards. Today's red card was another stupid red for mouthing off at the referee. A complete lack of control and discipline to get a card like that, it a way to let down your team, manager and the fans. Yes tempers can rise but it's easy enough to keep a lid on it and walk away, there is no way a mouthful towards the ref is going to result in anything but a booking. It was a tough game to watch, we did have spells where we had a go but overall not great. I have written a few things here and deleted them, I don't want to grumble and single out players who were below par. I will say that Jordan Orru had a good game, full of running and effort and one of our best players. We need a solid leader in defence though (bring back Pat Scullion, all is forgiven... although he was subject to a load of abuse from a section of the Berwick fans) The first goal we conceded was a real lack of concentration though. We had a free kick that nobody was switched on for, the ball swung into the Cowdenbeath box to static Berwick players. Nobody was prepared. Cowdenbeath took the ball and drove forward and scored, it was deflating to see and really shouldn't have happened. Overall possession was pretty even but Cowdenbeath had 15 shots to our 5. No point in having possession and doing nothing with it. Then we gave away a penalty for what looked like clipping the heels of the Cowdenbeath player. Albion Rovers managed a draw with Queenspark too, they were leading at one point so they are slowly reducing the gap. Next week home to Clyde. I don't see us winning that one, my faith has gone for now. I will of course still go to the games, you have to don't you. I think other than the Peterhead game away in a couple of weeks I'll be at all the home and away fixtures for the rest of the season (weather permitting). As I've said before, league survival is the aim this season, as rubbish as that is it's the reality for this season. We have 2 games still to play against Albion Rovers and they are looking pretty crucial for league survival now.
Final game of the season away to Clyde.
well it was off to Broadwood for myself, my dad and tom for the final game of the season. We were also meeting up with our friend John (Clyde fan) who was making his own way there. We arrived just before 2pm, nice and early as usual and headed to the bar in the ground. We bumped into See (our injured striker) in the bar and I approached him for a bit of a chat. He's a nice guy and seemed happy to talk to us about his recovery and the impact it's had on him working. Driving is off limits for now, he has a shot of his dad's car because it's an automatic but it's a bit too much of a struggle for the time being. After my dad's interrogations he hobbled off to the changing room to the rest of the squad. He did say that he's finding being at Berwick to be good for him, a good group of lads friendly and welcoming. That's a nice thing to hear. We hung around to watch the end of the Liverpool v Stoke game then headed to the stand. It was Tom's first time at Broadwood so another ground to add to the list.
well I was tasked with writing the match report for this game so my synopsis is a bit different than usual.
It was a game Clyde were needing to win to keep their playoff hopes alive, it didn't turn out the way they hoped.
Clyde started on the attack forcing a corner in the first minute and a shot on goal. It was looking like the start of an assault for Berwick as Clyde looked for the big win they might require to take a playoff spot from Stenhousemuir. But it was Berwick who struck first, Jordan Orru's Cross found Jack Hamilton who slotted home neatly with a left footed shot in the 7th minute.
Clyde continued to press but were now on the back foot looking for an equaliser. A few minutes later Barry Cuddihy (Clyde) worked his way forward to have a shot from a difficult angle but the shot went wide to the right. Clyde continued to press and on the 22 minute mark Mark Lamont (Clyde) had shot from outside the box but Brennan saved it comfortably. This was the start of a surge for Clyde who had a further 4 shots on goal in the next 10 minutes.
Berwick handled the pressure, The defence holding up well to the Clyde attack. Notman then picked up a yellow in the 33rd minute for a clumsy challenge. A few moments later Paul Willis found the space to have a shot from outside the box narrowly missing the top left corner. Clyde pressed further with David Goodwillie (Clyde) having a shot on the 48 minute mark narrowly missing the target.
Berwick continued to soak up the pressure and Robert Wilson should have made it 2 for Berwick on the 40 minute mark but his header from very close range missed to the right following a well taken Willis corner. In the last few minute of the first half Jack Cook picked up a yellow card and Willis had a further shot on goal that was saved by the Clyde keeper.
The second half started with Clyde still pressing, Berwick conceding 3 corners in the first 12 minutes under the Clyde attack. The Berwick defence were holding under the pressure until the 57th minute when Clyde equalised. Jack Boyle (Clyde) with a shot from close range finding the bottom left corner of the Berwick net.
Clyde's celebrations were to be short lived however. In the 62nd minute Jack Hamilton headed home from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. The ball supplied by Jordan Orru with a well placed and weighted cross to make it 2 for Berwick.
Notman was then shown a straight red in the 73rd minute for a lunging tackle, reducing Berwick to 10 men. Not the ending that Notman would have wanted for his final game, leaving the club after 11 years, 13 goals and over 300 appearances. Martin McNiff (Clyde) and Jordan Orr both picking up yellow cards in the minutes to come.
Clyde pressed on with the extra man advantage winning 4 corners in what remained of the half. Berwick defence coped well with the loss of Notman and Steven Thomson worked his way into a close shot from a difficult angle that missed to the right.
3 minutes of added time passed and the final whistle blew. A good win for Berwick who despite not having as much possession or shots on goal looked the better team and came away with the 3 points.
Starting XI: Brennan, Fleming, Wilson, Todd, Cook, Notman, Willis, Phillips, Orru, Murrell (Lavery 75), Hamilton (Thomson 83). Subs: McCrorie, Simpson, Fairbain.
It was a long day on this Saturday. My day started by leaving the house at 7:30am to take my car for a service in Dunfermline then collecting my dad and Gordon on the way up to Montrose. I was under no illusion that we would get the 3 points from this game but you never know. I had secretly hoped we would, all fans do don't they? We had never been to Montrose before but it was a relatively easy drive and it was a nice sunny spring day. We arrived at around 2pm and got parked in the car park just next to the ground.
the game and a bad injury.
the game wasn't a bad one, we were under pressure for sure but we had a few decent chances, unfortunately we never manage the final touch. We had a goal chopped off for offside but I was unsure if it was offside or not. It wasn't the hammering by the league leaders that some had predicted. The stats on the BBC and SKY sports are off for this game. It claime Berwick had 1 shot on goal. This simply wasn't true. The biggest incident of the game was the tackle on the Berwick striker Ousman See. I never fully saw the tackle from my vs rage point but it was soon apparent the striker was in tremendous pain. Shouts from the field to call an ambulance quickly confirmed this. It was an excruciating wait for the striker as the ambulance took almost an hour to arrive. See was traested on the pitch by paramedics and then was taken off and into the waiting ambulance. The game then restarted after a short warm up.
The club released an update on the injury later in the evening. The injury has been confirmed as a broken Tibia and dislocated ankle. Terrible news for the lad. As I have pointed out before these guys are part time so his work will be effected. I don't know what his job is, I'm hoping it's something sympathetic to his injury. Not a zero hours contract or any such thing. Our thought are with him and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Cowdenbeath v Berwick. Victory is ours!
i went to pick up my dad and head off down the road for this one. It's about a 30 minutes drive from my folks house so the easiest away game to get to. The rain had eased off and the sky was sunny. Not 30 minutes down the road it wasn't! Rain sweeping in waves and gale force winds to add to the misery. We waited in the car for 10 minutes for the rain to stop and we made a break for it. We had an interesting time getting in. My dad is a consession so he went to the concession turnstile, I went to the regular one. I could see my dad through the ticket window at the other side. It was one booth with a window on either side. I paid and asked the girl to take the money for my dad. She said she couldn't he was a consession and had to be paid at the consession turnstile...so I gave her the money to pass to my dad, who gave it back to pay for his ticket..... this seemed to satisfy her. We then bought some halftime draw tickets and then off for some tea. The tea was ok, my dad is a bovril man. The pies were awful. Not the worst thing I have had at a sporting event (the burger st the Fife Flyers ice arena still holds this title) but it wasn't too pleasant. The pie was tepid on the outside with a cold middle, lovely. We found our "seats" and watched the rain sweep in.
it was my job to write the match report for this game. my second one now, the first was the cup game against Motherwell at the start of the season.
With last week's home game postponed due to the weather it's back on the road again for Berwick. New signings Ouzy See, Declan O'Kane, Jack Hamilton and Alex Petkov all featured in the starting lineup. With Captain Stevie Notman and Michael McKenna sitting this one out due to suspension.
Cowdenbeath also strengthened their squad during January, With 4 new signings, Aiden Malone, Ben Reilly, and David Cox all in the starting line up and Jordan Hornby starting on the bench.
Cowdenbeath started this game at the foot of the table having picked up only 9 points in 19 games, Berwick sitting in 7th having picked up 21 points in 19 games. It's a game both teams wanted to win, Cowdenbeath desperately needing the points to lift themselves from the foot of the table and Berwick wanting to increase the gap from the bottom of the table.
The rain was intense and the wind set itself up to hamper play as it blustered around Central Park. Both teams struggling with the elements and the dugout taking it's share as it blew over shortly before kickoff.
Berwick started the game brightly, In the fourth minute a good break down the right hand side saw Ouzy See have a good shot saved from the centre of the box. This resulted in three successive corners for Berwick but nothing was to come of them.
Berwick continued on the attack and a further shot from Stephen Thomson on the 9th minute was saved again by the Cowdenbeath keeper. David Syme for Cowdenbeath came close in the 17th minute with a header from the left hand side of the box. Berwick continued to press down the left hand side. The result of this producing an excellent cross by Gary Phillips into the box for Jack Hamilton to head home a very well worked goal on his debut for the club.
Berwick continued to push the attack and most of the game was played in midfield until another break for Berwick in the 37th minute saw another shot from Ouzy See saved by the Cowdenbeath keeper. The wind and the rain was still hampering play and Cowdenbeath had two further corners that resulted in nothing. Then in injury time of the first half Alex Petkov gave away a foul in the penalty area. Harvey Swann slotting home the penalty to bring Cowdenbeath level.
The second half started and it was the turn of Cowdenbeath to play into the wind and the rain. Berwick winning corners in the 48th minute and the 52nd minute as they pressed Cowdenbeath but both corners yielding no results. In the 40th minute Steven Thompson picked up a yellow card for a foul.
Then on the 54th minute Stephen Thomson let rip with a left footed shot from more than 30 yards away that flew in off the underside of the bar leaving the keeper with no chance to save it. Surely a contender for goal of the season.
Both teams continued to trade blows in midfield and both being hampered by the strong wind and the driving rain. In the 61st minute Cowdenbeath player Fraser Mullen was booked for a foul. Steven Thomson taking a shot from the free kick but put it over the bar.
Both teams continued to trade blows in the wet and blustery conditions then in the 76th minute Jamie Pyper picked up a yellow card for Cowdenbeath, Kieran Stewart for Berwick Rangers picking up a yellow card shortly afterwards in the 79th minute.
Then in the 82nd minute Stephen Thomson's Cross found Ouzy See in the box who headed home from close range to make it 3-1 to Berwick. In injury time Berwick player Declan O'Kane had a shot from a direct free kick more than 35 yards out but it went high over the bar.
As the final whistle blew the Berwick fans who had been vocal throughout gave the players a standing ovation as they left the field of play.
Final Score Cowdenbeath 1 Berwick 3.
Berwick Rangers: McCrorie, Stewart, Fleming, Fairbairn, Phillips, Petkov, Thomson (Orru 90), O'Kane, Hamilton (Murrell 72), Lavery (Cook 86), See.
Stirling Albion v Berwick Rangers.
Well it's Stirling Away tomorrow at Forthbank Stadium. I've never been before and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be going with my dad and Gordon will be coming too. My brother might also come along. Now the biggest problem is whether on not it will actually be on, It's been raining solidly for the last 2 days. It is an artificial pitch so it should be ok but if the temperature drops it could be frozen. Fingers crossed. As for the actual game and result who knows. Berwick have had a it of a rollercoaster season, a few lucky sneaky wins and draws have given us a reasonable amount of points and Robbie Horn has done well with this squad, they are playing with more conviction than I have seen for a while. Still changes are to be made. Rutherford has gone, Scullion has gone and it's likely Thomson will be off too. There are also rumours that McKenna is being linked with a move to Arbroath. 3 loan players who are regulars in the squad are likely to move on at the end of January. It might be a case of holding on until the summer to build the squad that Robbie wants, but with very little money for players wages it will be difficult. Luckily Cowdenbeath have had a terrible season and we have a decent gap between us and them, with Edinburgh and Clye in-between. I'm still hoping for a win against Stirling.
Edinburgh City v Berwick Rangers.
i had high hopes for this game. With the disappointment of the two previous home games cancelled due to frost I was in high hopes that this would be a Berwick Victory. I had been to the Clyde game on the 23rd of December and that resulted in a 0-0 draw. Clyde and Edinburgh are the teams we need to beat. We cannot afford to lose points to the team below us. Although we are in a far better position than this time last season we have had a few lucky results to boost us along. I was lucky enough to get a lift from Berwick to Edinburgh for this game, Thanks to Ian Beresford for that. It was a odd game, Berwick played pretty well and the score line was flattering to Edinburgh. Still a 3-0 loss is a 3-0 loss...... A moment of ill judgment with a header back to the keeper lead to the second goal and up to that point we were still in with a chance, Again the lack of a recognised striker has come back to haunt us. We sent plenty of good balls into the box but with nobody in position or with a good first touch we are seriously missing out.

Made of lovely red sandstone, the Strathmore valley town of Kirriemuir is often regarded as the gateway to the Angus Glens, some of Scotland's most unspoiled landscapes. JM Barrie - creator of the much-loved children's character, Peter Pan, and subject of the Johnny Depp film 'Finding Neverland', was born in the town and his house is now a museum looked after by the National Trust for Scotland. A statue of 'the boy who never grew up' can be found within Kirriemuir. However, Barrie is not the only literary connection to this charming little town. Nearby Glamis castle was the setting for Shakespeare's 'cursed' play, Macbeth. The historic Pictish Stones at Meigle and the Angus Glens are well worth visiting and offer spectacular views whilst hill walking.

I often wonder why I have this all consuming drive to photograph and document life. I know I am not alone in this, I see countless others around me striving to hold on to these moments and create something tangible from a fleeting event. To hang on to it in some form. The theory: If I photograph it, it is not lost.
"How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn.
Now I'm one of those people who does far too much thinking for my own good but no matter how much I think, I can't put my finger on the 'why?'. It was only when I was looking around my back catalog for a particular photo that I stumbled upon some images that made me realise why I do this. When Lola was 8 days old I took some photos of her – I posed her, put little props on her head and smoothed out her imperfect baby skin. She looked thoroughly adorable of course. But in this back catalog I had kept my 'outtakes' in a separate folder – the inbetween moments, the unposed, the spontaneous, and sometimes the out of focus or technically amiss – yet these were the real treasures. This was the real Lola – the way I had remembered her in all her beautiful, imperfect squishy glory. Like little keys they unlocked all of these beautiful memories of our first days together. To find these photos I felt both happy and sad. She's so big now, a proper little girl. How did it get so late so soon?
I find the passing of time so bittersweet. It happens so fast that some days I feel as though life just snuck up on me and kind of snowballed out of my control. So, how do we reconcile the relentless march of time? Do we reflect and mourn the loss? Or ignore it and forge on revelling in the present moment and what's to come? I know I need to do the latter more but I've realised now that capturing and collecting these memories is an important step that helps to keep me looking forward. Photography to me is an act of love and the photographs I take are the precious souvenirs from a time I once visited.
Oh wow, Shelley! I could not resist clicking to read your blog, and i'm so glad! You have so many gifts. <3 Thank you for sharing them with the world!
I love this so much! Your words truly resonance with me.

Giant NBA "Role-Model" in Assault and Pepper Incident
By Kenneth Garger 08/15/11
Kendrick Perkins, the Oklahoma City Thunder colossus, may face big questions at his anti-violence kids' camp after a pepper-spraying night club brawl in Texas.
Perkins: Heavy weekend Photo via
Kendrick Perkins, the 6'10'' Oklahoma City Thunder center—who hosts a children's camp promoting drug and gang awareness—saw his role-model credentials take a nosedive this weekend. He was arrested outside a nightclub in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas, in the early hours of Saturday morning for attempting to fight the venue's manager. 26-year-old Perkins—who weighs in at 280 pounds—was apparently the catalyst for a mass brawl involving 50 club-goers, fisticuffs and the unwarranted use of pepper spray. He was forced out of the club's back door by the crowd, still "yelling obscenities," according to The Oklahoman. Some courageous cops hauled the man-mountain to Jefferson County jail at around 4 am, where he was slapped with public drinking and disorderly conduct charges. Shortly afterwards he posted $150 bail—probably not a stretch for a baller due to rake in $6,696,720 this season. Perkins was in town with a slew of other NBA stars hosting his annual basketball camp at Clifton J. Ozen High School, his alma mater. The camp promotes drug awareness and stresses the dangers of gang affiliation and violence. Last year the former "Blood" gang-member and Training Day actor, Cle Shaheed Sloan, came to speak to the campers. "Gangs are a big problem right now in Texas," said Sam Cassel—the NBA star-turned-assistant-coach, who helped Jenkins organize the camp in 2010. It's been an action-packed few days for Jenkins. He suffered an apparent seizure after a house party on Thursday, which his spokesman said was caused by "dehydration."

Books for Giving & Forgiving
March 20, 2020 | Michele Sharpe
Have you been reading more during the COVID pandemic? Or thinking about reading more? Here's five quick reviews of some favorites among the books I read in 2019. Looking back, "Books For-giving" makes sense since all of these books have some element of forgiveness to them, whether it's forgiveness of another person, a culture, or oneself.
Many years ago, Gloria Steinem published Revolution from Within, which was my first introduction to the idea of holding your previous selves with love and forgiveness. It's easy to judge our own trespasses more harshly than we judge others' behavior. Steinem (as I recall) recommended visualizing your "old" self as a fallible human being and forgiving any wrong-doing or wrong-thinking.
But that's a book I read thirty years ago. Here's what occupied my mind in 2019:
The book that wowed me the most in 2019 was Kia Cothron's novel, THE CASTLE CROSS THE MAGNET CARTER. That's not a typo, but I've wondered if this weird title has something to do with the sad fact that this book didn't win every single major literary award the year it was published. Or maybe it was the length. If you're someone who isn't scared of long books with even longer threads of moral complexities, this is for you.
As others have noted, Kia Cothron's book is a masterpiece. Brilliant language and dialogue, unforgettable characters, and a complex narrative arc all inform this magnificent historical novel. The last hundred pages broke me open like I was a pomegranate, all ruby red and full of seeds.
It's barely three years since publication of STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING, Ibram X. Kendi's comprehensive history of racist ideas and policies. Since then, Dr. Kendi has taken a position at American University as director of the new Anti-Racist Research and Policy center, and he's written this brilliant new book, HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST.
Interweaving the history of his own changing ideas about race from childhood to the present with the intellectual history of social and political theory and policies concerning race during the same time period, this book is a must read for everyone interested in healing the wounds of racism in our country.
Dr. Kendi's logic is concise, beautiful, and convincing for me — and even, I think, for people who are not as ga-ga over syllogisms as I am. I listened to the audiobook (read by Dr. Kendi) and then bought the print version to re-read and use as a reference.
Somehow, even as a lifelong fan of British women novelists, I'd never read anything by Jo Baker until this year. It's especially surprising that I never picked up Longbourn, her riff on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, one of my childhood/young adult faves.
Baker has the particular storytelling gift of exposing cultural lapses in logic and compassion, and similar lapses in individual readers. In other words, she sets you up like a bowling pin for your own personal epiphany.
Longbourne parallels the plot of Pride and Prejudice by prefacing each of its chapter with a quote from P & P. These function as a sort of shorthand for the where and when of the main characters of Longbourn: Mrs. Hill, the housekeeper, Mr. Hill, the butler, Sarah, the ladies' maid, and Polly, the char. The acts and concerns of the gentry, however, are as the acts of insects — utterly insignificant, except when they happen to sting. And sting they do, in surprising, devastating ways, often with less consciousness of cause and effect than an insect.
The focus is on the hearts and minds of the people employed by the Bennett family. It is their secrets, their desires, their thoughts, and their concerns that move the novel forward. In the precarious and changing economy of early 18th century England, these characters are as concerned with stability and security as the Bennett daughters, and they make a host of distinct sacrifices to stay afloat. This is a page-turner with a deeply embedded treatise on class division.
Read this one nearly nonstop, and it is the book I wanted to give everyone in my gift list! I picked it up because I thought there might be some scripts or pointers I could use to talk with conservative family members about politics and race. I either got that idea from a review or from my misinterpretation of a review. This book has no easy answers about that.
The story is expertly braided around "uncomfortable " questions Mira Jacobs' young son asks her, beginning when he becomes obsessed with Michael Jackson. It's hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
I was amazed not only at how much the illustrations (is that the right word?) added to my enjoyment of the book. Jacob reproduces the same image of each character over and over again, yet each drawing seems to change expression to match new text. How did she do that??? Miraculous!
OMG, I haven't read so many books by men in one year since I was a kid on a Dostoevsky binge. That's because so many books by men have irritated me to the point of rage. Men, y'all are leveling up.
I've been consumed by issues of race this year as many people have been. Ruffin's very original take on one possible future of race-based policies and race relations is scary, even (or especially?) for me, the old 97% white lady. I had a hard time getting past the narrator's hinky voice, but believe me, it's crucial to the story line.
I'm always looking for my next book, so if you have any recommendations, please post a comment!

Skrill removed the free first transaction a few days ago.
This was a good way to bet before it changed.
Now that this is gone, i expect them to lose a lot of clients. And you know how companies like this deal with loss of potential revenue - they start scamming their customers.
I have a friend, who worked with them until recently and as he was leaving, their transitions were just happening - being bought by Blackstone, rebranded under the same umbrella with Neteller etc.
They started racking up different new types of fees recently - added 1 % and above to transactions, that were free before on deposit. Now they applied the 1.45 % tax, as well as removing the free transaction without any notice. The offer to open a new account with a free transaction was actually still up on the website a couple of days after they removed it. Just goes to show how much the new management has changed things and how much they care about their customers.
They used to be a very decent e-wallett.. Now things have become very bad and it's probably going to get worse. Make of it what you want. I chose to withdraw all my money and stop betting through them.
Previous post modified to protect the poster.
Its like every move they make is to ban smart gamblers. With this particular move it brings damage to all of them who have an open account, hit and run strategy.
I don't like this strategy and those who use it are making damage to all of us.
But what i don't like most is skrill greed.
oh wait, you're seriously talking about the first free transaction when opening an account???
for the past few years skrill have evolved from easy-to-use to an absolute nightmare, charging fees every step of the way for everything. you can't even deposit for free anymore; they make it impossible to use them. and then you open a thread because you're single first transaction is not free anymore, wow.
http://prntscr.com/m50ahh what does this mean ? its free to transfer money or im getting it wrong ?
You're right. They've become a very bad company. A lot of the decisions they made were very greedy.
But personally, so far i've been able to go around it. I've had money for a long period of time with them and i didn't need to deposit money (and pay fees for them as well lol).
I was able to go around their other charges as well by having at least one Silver Skrill at a time. Most of the times it would take me more than a month to make it, but it was worth it. No charges on any transfers this way.
But this one is a deal-breaker for me, because i have to give Skrill charges as well. On a 7k withdraw i would have to pay them 100 bucks in fees. It's a very bad deal for a guy like me, who only does value betting. Not to mention, Bet365 limit you at just about any larger bet.
The free transaction was offered by them exactly to attract gamblers before. Old management was way better.
New one never ceases to surprise me. I don't even want to think what will happen after March comes and the new T&C additions kick in, when they will be able to suspend and terminate accounts at will.
Let post modified to protect the poster.
I would like to inform you, that all first P2P transactions with Skrill are free of charge for all referred by arbusers members.
Credit to Arbusers for getting things done once again.
So if I register on skrill via the banner then I get the first transaction free?
My friend registered his account with the banner a few weeks ago, but when he is trying to send money the transaction cost is 1.5%.
No payment was made to other person, only to bookmakers.
Send me the account number and I ll ask our manager.
We were informed by PaySafe that they no longer offer the free first P2P transaction since Tuesday. This is valid for all affiliates. No early warning was sent out by PaySafe.
We (arbusers) will cover all fees paid by our members for their referred by arbusers skrill accounts, for first P2P transactions until today, Thursday the 14th of February 2019.
Send us a screenshot of the transaction together with the account number and the account (Skrill, Neteller or ecoPayz) where you would like to receive the funds.

Broad Green is one of the smaller residential districts in the London Borough of Croydon. Located in south east London, Broad Green is squeezed between the larger areas of Croydon – the administrative and commercial centre of the borough, and Thornton Heath – another residential area. The area was developed in the 19th century around the eponymous green – a small park with a triangular shape. Many houses and stores were built around it. Unfortunately, the only really notable landmark in Broad Green, the famous Safari Cinema house, was demolished in 2005, but the area is still associated with it. The Safari Cinema was opened in 1936 by the Associated British Cinemas and had the impressive capacity of 2300. After the cinema's demolition the land was used to built several apartment buildings – 138 apartments to be precise, of which 52 were of the so called key worker shared-ownership type.

May 16, 2019 July 17, 2019 UnfilteredAdventuresLeave a Comment on Surviving war in Europe: one person's story of the Bosnia War
Bosnia-Herzegovina is a lush, green playground of mountains, crystal clear rivers and architecturally stunning settlements. But, along with its neighbours, the country's past is complicated and littered with conflict. The Ottoman, Austria-Hungary and German empires have all had claims to the land at different points in history and have influenced the culture and architecture.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is perhaps most famous for Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination in the capital, Sarajevo, which sparked World War One in 1914. Following annexation by the Nazi's during World War Two, Bosnia-Herzegovina experienced a period of stability under the communist regime of Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslavia.
Near the border with Croatia, some 30 miles into the Herzegovina region, sits the beautiful city of Mostar. Famous for its UNESCO protected, old-yet-new Stari Most bridge, where locals and professionals, including the Red Bull Cliff Diving series, take the rite of passage by diving the 70-plus feet into the turquoise water of the Neretva river below.
This beautiful and deceptively steep bridge is a symbol of the unification of the Bosnian and the Croatian sides of the city, as it had been since its original construction in the 16th century. But, as with many things in Bosnia-Herzegovina, it has seen more than its fair share of turmoil.
Gabriela has lived in Mostar for most of her life. She has seen the changes, and remembers the days of communist rule.
"Yugoslavia was an independent country and life was much better than in other communist countries. We could travel anywhere. School was free, health care was free, there was no crime. It was a social country. Everybody had a job, a flat, but of course members of the communist party had better opportunities. After Tito's death everything changed.
"There was a difficult period I remember in the 1980s. My mother complained there was not enough coffee or oil to buy, but we were young and it was not a big problem for us."
Tito had led Yugoslavia since 1953, and before that as Prime Minister since 1944, and his death and transfer of power had not been planned for. Following his death in 1980, a power struggle gripped Yugoslavia and ultimately led to a rise in nationalism, and the presidential reign of Slobodan Milošević in 1989.
Milošević's view of a 'Greater Serbia' came at the expense of every other region within Yugoslavia, resulting in wars breaking out in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo.
Gabriela explains: "When the war started, I was just 23 years old. I had just got married. I had a good office job as a German translator and I was enjoying life. I only remember good days, having lot of fun with friends, but of course it was not always perfect.
"In 1992 the war started. I first stayed in Mostar when the town was attacked by Serbian forces that occupied the left bank of the city. My flat was at the right bank, so it was safer.
"To start with, the Bosnian and Croatian army fought together against the Serbs, and after a few months the Serbian army was forced to leave the city. We all thought, 'that's it, the war will end soon!'. But we were wrong. I never thought it could get any worse."
The war saw a significant overlap in who was fighting who. Complicated by the Croatians, largely Catholic Christians; Serbs, largely Orthodox Christians; and the Bosnians, largely Muslims (known as Bosniaks) each living across these now newly drawn borders, meaning the countries were keen to take 'their people' and 'their towns'.
Learn more about our trip few Bosnia-Herzegovina by clicking here.
Gabriela continues: "So, May 9, 1993, the Croatians started the war against the Bosnian army. What a mess. They wanted Mostar. The whole city. So, they started to expel all the Bosniaks [Bosnian Muslims] from the city. We saw trucks collecting the Muslims coming nearer and nearer to our flat, so we decided to spend the next few days at my husband's aunt's house. She was married to a Croatian man so it was safer at her place.
"We arranged papers from the police so we could leave the city, helped by a good Croatian friend of my husband, who helped us escape. At that time, I had also given birth to my son who was less than three months old when we left.
"We first left for Split, then Zagreb [both in Croatia], where my uncle came and took us to Germany where we stayed until the war ended."
In 1995, the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed, and the war ended. Thousands had died; Sarajevo had endured a four-year siege; over half the country had been displaced and hundreds of religious buildings had been destroyed. The worst examples of ethnic cleansing and genocide had also been committed in Europe since World War Two; and the 427-year-old Stari Most bridge, both a historic landmark and metaphor which joined the two sides of Mostar together, was destroyed by Croatian artillery fire.
Asking Gabriela what affect the destruction of the bridge had on the locals, she is emotional, "9 November, 1993 the Old Bridge was destroyed by Croatian artillery. You ask me how I felt. For every Mostarian it was like we lost a family member. It was the symbol of our city. It was the place where we spent so many days in our youth.
"In our flat in Germany we could listen to a radio station from Bosnia. That day the whole family sat listening to the news when the radio announcer said that the Old Bridge had been hit and totally destroyed. At first, we couldn't believe it. Nobody said a word but everybody was crying. As I said, it was like we lost a family member.
"We came back to Mostar in 1997. There were still so many ruins and the 'Old Bridge' was not there. First it was a wooden bridge before finally, in 2004, it was rebuilt. It's very important the bridge was there again."
UNESCO and the World Bank, among others, provided the $15.5million needed for the reconstruction of the bridge, using the same construction techniques of its original 1567 build. Work began in 2001, and the Stari Most bridge reopened in 2004, and now, once again, locals dive into the Neretva river below, to transcend into adulthood.
But this is only a small fix for this complex country. Progress is slow, in part due to the Dayton Peace Agreement, negotiated in 1995, showing signs of its limitations, particularly with present day politics in the Balkans holding a delicate truce. A three-president system, one each to represent the Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian populations, allows each to veto any decisions, meaning it has been used as a tool to hinder one-another's proposals and plans, stalling everything from road repairs and welfare, to European Union membership.
Unemployment rates are over 30% and there are a significant number of war-wounded. Also, as with most countries in Central to Eastern Europe, there is a skills shortage, with the likes of doctors leaving for better pay and opportunities in richer European countries.
Even to this day, Bosnia-Herzegovina is still scarred by the conflict, littered with bomb-damaged buildings in the towns, landmines in the countryside, and the appropriate motto, 'forgive but never forget', graffitied across the country.
Gabriela has hope. "People are good, and good at coming together, but the politicians? We still have separate schools in Mostar [for Croatians and Bosnians], and I think all kids should attend school together. If the kids are not going to be in the classrooms together, the future cannot be good.
"Do Bosnians miss Yugoslavia? I don't know, maybe some. Some would say no because we just had to choose if we were Croatians or Serbs. In 1974 we were allowed to say we were Muslims, but it was just religion, not nationality."
Despite having been through so much, Gabriela is pragmatic, but realistic about the town she loves and the damage that has been caused to a country once famed for its multicultural tolerance.
"Today Mostar is a divided city. I always say it's like the city lost its soul. The real Mostarians were expelled during the war and they never came back. My husband and I, we wanted always to come back, but it was very difficult the first years after the war.
You know the older people always spoke about the Second World War and I never thought that I would have to survive a war in my life time. But it happened. And you know, as strange as it sounds, you get used to it. Life without electricity or water in your flat, hiding from bombs… but I don't know if I would survive it again.
"I hope there is no war again."

This declaration expresses beliefs common to its members.
We believe that the Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the written Word of God and, therefore, inerrant in the original documents and absolutely authoritative.
We believe that there is but one living and true God, the Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things, who is Spirit, infinite in being, and in all perfections. We further believe that one God exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; all three having the same nature, attributes, and perfections, but each executing distinct, but harmonious, operations in the work of creation and of redemption.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, in His incarnation united to His divine nature a true human nature, and so continues to be both God and man, in two distinct natures but one Person, forever. He was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, perfectly obeyed the law of God, poured out His blood on the cross as a vicarious atonement for sin, and rose again bodily on the third day for our justification; He ascended to the Father's right hand where He now lives to make intercession for His redeemed.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and seals every believer until the redemption of His body, the Church. We further believe the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and in consequence incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God, bringing sin, guilt, depravity and death upon all his posterity except the virgin-born Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that God in His mercy and grace saves all who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ, justifying them through faith in the Saviour and giving them new life by the Holy Spirit. God further wills that all who believe should grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. True believers are kept by the power of God, so that none is lost; but the idea that this secure position in Christ entitles one to sin with impunity is false and pernicious.
We believe that, at a day and hour known only to God, He will rapture His church to Himself and, our Lord Jesus Christ shall come again personally, bodily, visibly, gloriously, to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace. We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust. The just will bodily rise to the eternal blessedness of the saved in Heaven. The unjust will rise to the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.

Public School Students Served 6 Year Old Lunch Meat
This week it was reported that children in Tennessee public schools were being served lunch meat that was 6 years old.
Apparently there was a problem with the food at Hawkins County Schools for a long time, but someone from Joseph Rogers Primary School recently sent a photo to Hawkins County Commissioner Michael Herrell, showing the expired meat and sparking an investigation.
The county denies that the food was served at this specific school, but admits that the meat was served at other schools. It is unclear who took the photo, but if the food was actually not served at this school then it is possible that an employee took the photo and refused to serve the food.
It was confirmed that this meat was served at Cherokee High School last week, but Harrell admits that the meat was served at other schools as well.
"Here in Hawkins County, we have a lot of kids that go to school and that might be the only meal they get all day long. It just upsets me that these kids are going to school to get that meat," Herrell said.
Herrell told reporters that one of the workers in the caffeteria told him "that it smelled so bad they made gravy to put over the meat."
"I heard that McPheeter's Bend, cooked the meat there (and) that the smell was so bad the school had the smell all through the school," Herrell said.
"There was some meat that was in our freezers with dates of 2009, 2010, 2011," Hawkins County Director of Schools Steve Starnes said.

SAYS TO SELECT A 2nd NUMBER??
Re: SAYS TO SELECT A 2nd NUMBER??
Yes you would be charged $4.99 a month for a third number.
They apparently have a bug in the configuration wizard.
It is not necessary to get that thing to 100%.
Thanks, I was very hesitant to pick a number as I felt something was not right with that. Thanks for your help.


To keep out of these controversies as considerably as feasible let us concentrate right here on the most typical alternative energy sources: solar energy, wind power and geothermal energy. Solar power industry also needs to locate the adequate energy storage solution in order to solve the intermittency situation (considering that the sun does not shine all day lengthy). The very same predicament is with hydropower since some feel that hydropower is a standard supply of energy collectively with fossil fuels while other individuals do not appear at hydropower as standard source of power.

Interest in composites starts to heat up
Light, shock resistant and able to withstand temperatures of well over 1,000°C, thermostructural composite materials are fast becoming the next big thing in the aerospace industry. Herakles (Safran) is leading the way internationally.
Herakles delivered the first thermal protection components for the IXV(1) space vehicle in March 2014. The parts will make up the craft's nose, lower surface and leading edges and act as a shield as it reenters the earth's atmosphere. During this twenty-minute phase, they will have to resist temperatures of up to almost 1,600°C! All of the components are built using ceramic matrix composites (CMC), a variant of thermostructural composites combining carbon fibers and a silicon carbide matrix. For Herakles, November's flight will provide a unique opportunity to test just how resistant its parts are in a full-scale exercise.
Time-tested expertise
As Marc Montaudon, Aeronautics and Composites Business Unit Director at Herakles, explains, "The first thermostructural composites we developed almost 40 years ago were made from a carbon matrix reinforced by carbon fibers. They replaced the extremely heavy metallic alloys previously used in the hottest zones of missile engines. Then we extended their use to other fields, like in telescope tubes for observation satellites and the nozzle for the American Delta IV space launchers. Carbon-carbon composites are now mainly found in aircraft brakes. Messier-Bugatti-Dowty has become the world number 1 in the field, in no small part because of the technology we developed at Herakles."
From carbon-carbon to CMC
"We were the first worldwide to introduce CMCs to mass production on an aircraft with the Rafale's nozzle flaps," continues Montaudon. "We then capitalized on our know-how by diversifying our range. For instance, we produced the hot gas valves used to steer the American SM-3 anti-ballistic missile. We're currently working with Snecma on the extendible nozzle* for its Vinci engine, which will power the future Ariane 5 ME and Ariane 6 launchers. Our main challenge in the years to come will be extending the benefits of CMCs to aircraft engines. We are on the brink of a real industrial turning point for these materials."
Having mastered the entire design and manufacturing chains and a diverse range of applications, Herakles is positioned as one of the world leaders in thermostructural composite materials. "With almost 200 employees working in the sector, unparalleled resources and solid partnerships all here in Bordeaux, we're definitely a Safran center of excellence," says Montaudon.
(1)IXV (Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle) is an experimental space vehicle intended to validate atmospheric reentry technologies to be used as part of the European Space Agency's reusable launcher.
*The extended nozzle accelerates the gases to a supersonic speed of up to 4,000 m/s.


BK CC&7 545 will make a great herd bull, he is by the popular Sydgen C C & 7 and is out of BK Primrose 905. Sydgen C C & 7 was the top-selling bull of the 2006 SydGen Sale where half interest in him sold for $39,000 to Hoover Angus in Iowa, he recorded the top adjusted 205-day weight of the offering at 840 pounds to ratio 119. As the natural calf to the first and only Corona daughter in production at SydGen in 2006, CC & 7 went on to post the top ADG at 3.92 to ratio 124, the top adjusted 365-day weight at 1,467 to ratio 121, and the top adjusted URE measurement at 17.3 sq. in. to ratio 130. C C & 7 is named for his two closest sires, Connection and Corona, and the fact that all 7 females in his three generation pedigree have either served as a SydGen donor or been the dam of a SydGen donor. BK Primrose 905 is by EXAR New Look 2971 and is out of an Ankonian EXT 224 daughter. This is a fantastic cow that produces great calves. He was born 12/23/15 and has a 82 lb BW and a weaning weight of 816. $3.500 Click here for pedigree information.
