My 4300's about to drive me into driving it into a canyon.
It's an 02 4300 with hydraulic brakes.
Break booster is / has been operating normally.
Occasionally (though much more frequent lately) the brake pressure warn lamp and alarm will set on start up.
Normally a restart or 10 will get it to go off, but of late it's much worse.
The booster is good, but was recently replaced anyway.
IC will often go back through boot a second time around after start.
Panel dimmer seldom remembers and usually reverts to full bright.
Engine Warn has started coming on over past week and will stay on till restart, but sys shows no codes stored or shows (can't remember the code now, but supposedly unrelated and not always set).
This is an emergency vehicle and I can't keep sending it to IH only to have them shrug their shoulders. Please help.
Unfortunatly, it is common on them and I curse the International engineers everytime I hear this complaint.
I have seeen many show problems when cold, activate the brake pressure light and alarm, but never to reapear once running for a while and no brake problems ever show up. Once warm, or running for a few minutes, if the driver shuts it off, and restarts, the problem does not reappear.
Pretty sad when you can not rely on, or trust a warning system!
Things I have found that can cause this, poor ground on the tail/brake lights, wrong bulbs in tail/brake lights, bad connections in the tail and brake lights, bulb to socket connection problems. Also corroded terminals in the brake pedal switch. If you see any sign of green there, replace the switch. Heck, they are not that expensive, replace it if you are unsure. I hate to throw parts at a vehicle, but we are talking brakes.
Checking with a test light, it is important that both of the terminals that are not normaly powered, have power at the same time when the brake pedal is depressed.
Also, possibly related is your IC going through a second "boot" They are known to have problems with conections on the IC. I have solved many problems by resoldering all the solder joints on the IC as they seem to break loose after a while. Temperature and or moisture (humidity) also seem to aggrivate this problem. Many vehicles have a problem first thing in the morning but do not apear after a few minutes of driving. Time consumeing to resolder them, but cheaper (here anyways) than buying a new IC , if and when you can get them. Usually it is one or more of the solder joints on the IC at one or more of the wiring connectors. So start with them at first.
I hate saying this for the fear some day this may not be the case, but if the brakes feel fine, and you have no problems after the vehicle warms up a bit or driven for a while, there likely is not a problem with the brake systems but just in the warning system and the same for your warn engine light if no codes are present.
I am not saying that so you leave the problem and don't fix it as it is very important that warning systems function properly. I'm just saying it may not be as big a problem (don't take the vehicle out of service type thing if you *need* it). I hope what I am saying makes sense.
Please feel free to ask more questions, I'll do my best to help. The above information is to deal with common problems, but also keep in mind other problems could cause the same or similar problems.
I've gone through the lights and connectors for visual and nothing obvious. Brake sw was good as were terminals, but swapped with a spare just for the sake of sanity and no change. I will ohm the sys out Monday though to be certain.
On the IC issues. Turns out the IH shop is full of idiots. It DOES have codes. I can rem how to show that they exist (cruise control on/resume) but don't rem how to pull them, nor to I have a chart, but it does have codes. That said, I removed the IC and the rear cover to view the solder joints. It seems a good resolder is in order come Monday. For the time being, the peizo is unplugged.
Actually common problem I have found. Try replacing the cap on the master cylinder. Sounds crazy but try it. If you take the cap off after you start it do you hear air going in like the master has a vacuum? The vent gets plugged in the cap and will not let air into the MC. Always worse after morning starts.

Chenango Blues Festival Returns to Norwich
Eloi_Omella
With things starting a slow return to normal following a harrowing year of coronavirus, we are excited to see some of our region's most popular events returning to local stages, arenas and fairgrounds.
Just last week, New York Governor Cuomo announced that county fairs have been given the go-ahead to open their gates to the public. While each county will make their own individual decision on whether to hold a fair or not, or to hold it in a modified way, we hope they do. County fairs in Otsego, Delaware, Chenango and Schoharie are nostalgic hallmarks of summer and we hope to see that tradition resume this summer.
Also, we cannot deny that the announcement of the return of the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse at the end of the summer is fantastic news.
The Chenango Blues Festival is also returning this summer. The event, now in its 28th year, is one of the biggest entertainment events in Chenango County and traditionally draws thousands to Norwich for a couple of days of some of the best Blues music in the Northeast. We are delighted that planners have given this beloved music event the green light and we look forward to attending.
According to Kerri Greene from Commerce Chenango, the Blues Festival is a major economic draw to the county each summer. From restaurants to hotels to service stations and to the retail shops in the county, the economic benefit from this one festival is significant.
The event will be held at the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich on August 20 and 21. Some of the top names in the Blues business will entertain inducing Albert Castiglia, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, and Jamie Vaughn.

Fifty Years After 'Brown v. Board of Education' Half a century ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against segregation in schools. Yet patterns of housing and immigration have created in many areas schools that are extremely segregated. NPR's Claudio Sanchez and NPR's Ina Jaffe report from California, where in some places, the level of segregation is as intense as any in 1954.

Shepard Sherbell/Corbis
Fifty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the notion of "separate but equal" schooling unconstitutional, saying "separate" was inherently unequal. Yet in the decades since the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, the demographics of the country have changed in ways the authors of the landmark decision never envisioned.
Throughout the country, patterns of housing and immigration have created neighborhoods that are extremely segregated. And in such areas, the quality of education provided by public schools is far from equal. Nowhere is this more evident than in California, where 100 percent of the students in some schools are members of minority groups.
As part of an ongoing examination this year of the legacy of the Brown decision, NPR's Claudio Sanchez and NPR's Ina Jaffe report from California for a five-part series looking at school segregation in America, then and now.
Stories in the Series
Garfield High NPR's Claudio Sanchez reports from Los Angeles' Garfield High, a school plagued with overcrowding, undertrained teachers and few resources. Mexican-American students make up 99 percent of the population.
Roosevelt High Sanchez reports from Los Angeles' Roosevelt High School, where virtually all of the students are Latino. Segregation there has as much to do with economics as with ethnicity.
Mendez v. Westminster Sanchez examines the little-known school desegregation case of Mendez v. Westminster. This California case won access for Mexican Americans to white schools in 1947 and helped set the stage seven years later for Brown v. Board of Education.
Sherman Oaks NPR's Ina Jaffe reports from the Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies, one of the integrated schools in Los Angeles. Sherman Oaks is a magnet school, but its students don't have to pass a test to get in. Instead, the school's only requirement is that the student body must be 40 percent white and 60 percent minority.
San Francisco In the half-century since Brown, creating racially diverse schools has met with mixed success. And in cities with ethnic and racial minorities from all over the world, such as San Francisco, desegregation is far more complicated. Sanchez reports on the effort there by schools to achieve a racial balance, even over the objections of some minority families who find that goal unnecessary or offensive.

Saturday's Child
On a morning in May, in 1953, my mother stands at the formica counter in the kitchen of our house in Charleston, South Carolina, drinking cocoa and smoking a Chesterfield. She wears red lipstick, the only cosmetic she ever bothers with, the shiny tube a staple in her sleek white patent-leather handbag. If it were a weekday she would be getting ready to leave for work in the old Dodge, my father at the wheel, but it is Saturday, and Saturday means laundry, grocery shopping, changing the sheets on the beds. This early in the summer, this early in the morning, and it's already so hot a person could faint. She's wearing a straight linen skirt, dark brown with back kick-pleat, white blouse with a V-neck and batwing sleeves, and brown and white spectator heels, and despite the heat, despite its being Saturday, she wears stockings and a garter belt. She drags on her cigarette, douses it under the faucet. She drops the butt into the ashtray on the kitchen table on her way out. Though the screen door is latched, the back door to the kitchen is left open to let in a breeze, should there be, at some point, a breeze. In the side yard, a parasol of a maple tree spreads a circle of shade. The children use the maple tree as the starting point for games of Hide-and-seek and May I? All day the children chase each other, laugh or cry, climb the monkey bars and swing in the swings. Or they go inside where they read books in their rooms while washing machines make a monotonous chugging sound downstairs. All day the children eat butter-and-sugar sandwiches made with sliced white bread that builds better bodies eight ways. They drink bottle Cokes, the wasp-waist of the bottle fitting neatly in their hands though they do not stop to think about this. They race out again—letting the screen door slam and bounce, unlatched—and fling themselves down on the grass, blow milkweed puffs, braiding the ropy stems into bracelets. They practice screaming-in-terror so they can be in the movies. Screaming—the children have observed that this is what women do most in the movies. Actresses are supposed to be terrorized and scream, then fall backwards onto the bedspread. Playing cowboys and Indians, the children slip Indian-style, as they call it, through the yard, and the maple becomes their tepee. But after a few hours of make-believe they find themselves longing for their own lives, which, after all, are still new to them, unexplored and exciting. And so, though it is Saturday, they play school. They pretend it is a school day and that they are sitting at their small desks, working in workbooks. By mid-afternoon, the neighborhood is as silent as sleep except for the pencils being pushed across the workbooks. These kids know more than they would dream, as yet, of writing. They know that, everywhere they know of, there are expectations and practices with the force of rules. That there's not much difference between the pledge of allegiance and school prayer. People here hold revivals and save themselves. My mother thinks this is pretty idiotic. Pretty, but not completely. Since, she tells herself, the truth is you never know what the score is. But she doesn't tell anyone else that. As far as everyone else is concerned, she's got no use for wishful thinking. This is important to her: she wants everyone to know she has no use for wishful thinking. What she has is a boss who keeps trying to put the make on her. She has a new mortgage—this is the first house she and my father have owned—and she can't afford to lose her job. It's a long day. Saturdays are always long. She chain-smokes. By day's end, the bedrooms have been cleaned, the laundry and groceries put away, the trellis roses pruned and the dogwood trees trimmed, supper served and the dishes washed in the sink and dried by hand. She and my father sit for a while on the back stoop, cicadas and whippoorwills contributing background chatter, as if they were guests at a cocktail party, but my parents don't throw parties. Live oaks scrawl shadows on the darkening sky. Magnolia blossoms rustle like silk, brushed by a stirring bird. My mother holds a Coke bottle in one hand, a cigarette in the other. She and my father talk. I don't know what they talk about; their voices are soft, and I am inside, on the other side of the screen door, deeply involved with a biography of Lou Gehrig. The stars come out one by one, like lights turned on in dark houses. Blue deepens into night, and at last there's a breeze. On my face, the air feels like chiffon, billowing like cloth with the sighing breaths of honeysuckle, clover, scented by the dew gathering in droplets on the closed petals of the trellis roses, a perfume that should surely be called Evening in Charleston. My parents' voices are as soft as face powder, as if the South had rubbed all the r's and ending g's down to fine, dissolving outlines. My mother and father come inside and shut the back door. My mother hands the empty Coke bottle to my father and he rinses it out in the sink to keep the ants from being drawn to a sweet residue. There are speck-sized ants that find their way into the cabinets. We keep the lids on jars tightly screwed, the flaps on boxes closed, flour in the refrigerator. My mother crushes her cigarette in the ashtray. All those cigarette butts with red lipstick kissed onto them look like they're bleeding; like tampons. It's like a hemorrhage, that ashtray, like something bursting and flooding.

Phillips, Ruth (2015) British domestic violence perpetrator programmes : 'programme integrity' within 'service integrity'. Doctoral thesis, London Metropolitan University.
Despite its stated importance to outcome evaluations, 'programme integrity' has long been lamented as a lacuna in the literature, especially in relation to domestic violence perpetrator programmes (DVPPs). Indeed, the literature reveals a lack of clarity regarding programme integrity in any context, although a baseline definition recognises its role as being to ensure programmes are delivered as intended and with a high level of efficacy. A 'dominant definition' emerges which is premised on programmes being subject to experimental models of development and evaluation and thus requiring strict adherence to a manual.
This study draws on interviews with British DVPP pioneers, current practitioners and a case study, to explore how programme integrity is understood and practised in British DVPPs. The study finds that the dominant definition is inadequate to capture the practise of DVPPs due to their 'process-driven' approach which relies upon a high level of reflexivity, responsivity, and innovation. Furthermore, DVPPs require a concept of programme integrity – directly related to group-work delivery – which is embedded within a wider 'service integrity' which recognises the ways in which all aspects of the DVPP service contribute to integrity.
The Respect Accreditation Standard requires that the work of the whole service is taken into account but this 'whole service approach' has not always translated into a 'whole service ethos' since the men's group-work aspect of the service is often given prominence in terms of resources and status. Thus, a concept of 'service integrity' is presented which builds on the Accreditation Standard and encourages a culture, or 'whole service ethos', that properly recognises and addresses the contributions of the whole service to achieve an intervention which is effective and innovative, and has 'integrity'.

NASA spaceflight review concludes agency lacks ability to get humans to Mars
Washington Post: "A sweeping review of NASA's human spaceflight program has concluded that the agency has an unsustainable and unsafe strategy that will prevent the United States from achieving a human landing on Mars in the foreseeable future. The 286-page National Research Council report, the culmination of an 18-month, $3.2 million investigation mandated by Congress, says that to continue on the present course under budgets that don't keep pace with inflation 'is to invite failure, disillusionment, and the loss of the longstanding international perception that human spaceflight is something the United States does best.'"
The report bolsters the case for manned missions to the moon, which President Obama oppose. "I just have to say pretty bluntly here: We've been there before," the president said in a space policy speech in 2010. Read the rest

Shuttle Endeavour flies over California today, en route to LA retirement
Photo: Shuttle Endeavour's final landing at Edwards AFB. September 20, 2012. By Todd Lappin
If you're in California today, Friday, Sept. 21, you may have a chance to see space shuttle Endeavour's historic flyover of the state as it heads for the California Science Center in Los Angeles for retirement. Here are more details from NASA Dryden on the exact route and planned times.
The orbiter, atop its 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), is scheduled to fly over northern California and a large area of the Los Angeles basin beginning at about 8:15 a.m. PDT. NASA originally planned the transit for an earlier hour, but rescheduled to increase the odds of good visibility for Bay Area residents—fog is a factor there in the early morning.
"During the four-and-a-half hour flight, social media users are encouraged to share their Endeavour sightings using the hashtags #spottheshuttle and #OV105, Endeavour's vehicle designation," according to NASA, and there's a Flickr group for space fans. The official account for NASA is here. At 11 a.m. EDT (8 a.m. PDT), NASA TV will air Endeavour's departure for the flyover.
NASA Ames' Twitter account is a good one to follow today, as is Boing Boing pal Todd Lappin, who shot the gorgeous photos in this post. SpaceFlightNow is liveblogging, and they're also great to follow on Twitter today.

An airship boom in Southern California
Photo: the Aeroscraft in a hangar in CA. Image: Worldwide Aeros, Inc.
In the Los Angeles Times, an article about an aerospace industry boom of sorts in Southern California, involving new twists on an old technology: airships. Who's buying? The military, and other government agencies, primarily for defense and surveillance purposes.
[I]n recent years, the affordability of airships as well as developments in high-definition cameras, high-powered sensors and other unmanned technologies have turned these oddball aircraft from curiosities of a bygone era to must-have items for today's military. And airships increasingly are being used for civilian purposes.
The federal government is buying blimps, zeppelins and spy balloons, and many of these new-generation hybrid "lighter than air" aircraft are taking shape across California.
"So much is going on with airships in California now," Pasternak said. "It wasn't this way 10 years ago."
Of note, the difference between airships, blimps, and zeppelins: Read the rest

New Cassini eye candy: the changing seasons of Saturn
Carolyn Porco, Cassini Imaging Team Leader and director of CICLOPS in Boulder, CO, writes:
For no other reason than that they are gorgeous, the Cassini imaging team is releasing today a set of fabulous images of Saturn and Titan...in living color...for your day-dreaming enjoyment. Note that our presence at Saturn for the last 8 years has made possible the sighting of subtle changes with time, and one such change is obvious here. As the seasons have advanced, and spring has come to the north and autumn to the south throughout the Saturn system, the azure blue in the northern winter Saturnian hemisphere that greeted Cassini upon its arrival in 2004 is now fading; and it is now the southern hemisphere, in its approach to winter, that is taking on a bluish hue.
[B]ack here on Earth, the Cassini mission was recently given rave reviews by a panel of planetary scientists and NASA program managers for its contributions to our understanding of the solar system, a circumstance that bodes well for a well-funded continuing mission over the next 5 years. Despite the fact that we can't know exactly what the next five years will bring us, we can be certain that whatever it is will be wondrous.

Newfoundland Mermaids... for the win!!
About a month ago, I got an email from Erin, a grade four student at All Hallows Elementary, North River. She was working on a Heritage Fair project, and had decided to do it on the folklore of mermaids in Newfoundland. So I sent her some information, and wrote up a little bit about mermaids in Newfoundland for my "Newfoundland Unexplained"column in The Telegram.
Congratulations, and good luck, Erin!

5G Alert: Evidence of Serious Cell Phone Danger to Pregnant Women, Children and Industry Workers Silenced by 'Captured' FCC
Guest View
Have you read Robert C, Kane's book, Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette?
He had a doctorate in electrical engineering; he was by all accounts an extremely brilliant man. His book is very roughly edited. When he wrote it he was busy dying of a brain tumor contracted while testing mobile antennas for Motorola, but it is an extremely powerful historical perspective on what the industry knew, when they knew it, and how they covered up the risks:
https://www.icems.eu/docs/Robert_C_Kane.pdf
Let me tell you one conversation I had a with a real microwave engineer, the guy in charge of all the base stations for a major network.
I was walking past one of their huge towers, when I saw a pigeon sitting on one of them. I thought immediately: that is a first; I've NEVER seen a small bird anywhere near one of these towers. That tower must be off.
And sure enough, as I got past, I saw a car parked in front of the tower, and the base station's door was open.
So just to check, I phoned the operator. I said I wanted to confirm that this tower was actually off, because this was the first time I'd ever seen a bird on one. It's a claim I often made, and I was quite perturbed to see it being broken.
The guy told me to phone back in a week. He told me, no, that base station was supposed to be on the whole time, it was a "fireable" offense (sic) to turn it off while working on it. I said, "well, I don't want to get your guy fired, but I honestly think that tower was off."
The engineer then said to me: "you know, I've been looking, and you're absolutely right, you don't see birds sitting in these towers."
They are disguised as trees, of course, for "aesthetic" reasons; but no birds are fooled.
This is just one conversation of many I've had with professionals in the business. Quietly, they've admitted to me that I was right, and that there were real problems with the technology. One said their company kept a "black book" of radiation incidents, in workers as well as the public, which was kept in deep secret.
Another told me that "sunburn" from working on towers was common, and that their hair would stand on end as they got close to a tower. Working on towers is now the most dangerous job in the whole of America:
https://www.tvtechnology.com/opinions/the-most-dangerous-job-in-america
Just about the stupidest thing I ever read in my life, was the New York Times's William Broad alleging that information on 5G hazards was a "treacherous fog" being spread by the Russians:
https://www.businesstelegraph.co.uk/your-5g-phone-wont-hurt-you-but-russia-wants-you-to-think-otherwise-the-new-york-times/
Broad quotes experts in Russian propaganda:
—> The Kremlin "would really enjoy getting democratic governments tied up in fights over 5G's environmental and health hazards," said Molly McKew, head of Fianna Strategies, a consulting firm in Washington, D.C., that seeks to counter Russian disinformation. <—
It's a fact that the Russians have, for decades, had the best radiation protection guidelines of any major country, at least 100 times better than the FCC guidelines, which are the worst in the entire world from a protective viewpoint.
The Americans long derided the Russians for their research into "non-thermal" effects of microwave radiation. A 1976 US Defense Intelligence Agency document summarized the Soviet-bloc research and their more stringent protections for the public, and concluded that such protection was not feasible for Americans:
"If the more advanced nations of the West are strict in the enforcement of stringent exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output and military function."
You can read the whole document here:
https://www.magdahavas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/BIOLOGICAL_EFFECTS_OF_ELECTROMAGNETIC_RADIATION-RADIOWAVES_AND_MICROWAVES-EURASIAN_COMMUNIST_COUNTRIES.pdf
The quote comes from p. vii.
Mr Barrie Trower, the UK government's former expert on microwave warfare, has stated repeatedly that the doctrine contained in that one sentence will ultimately be responsible for killing far more people than WW1 and WW2 combined. It's a real death sentence.
Under the most patronizing supervision possible, the WHO got the Russians to replicate their experiments from the 1970s and '80s. To their surprise, the Russian findings checked out. For example, in one experiment, rats were irradiated with microwaves, and then blood serum was taken from them and injected into pregnant rats. You can see the results on p. 18 of the following document:
https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec08_2012_Evidence_%20Effects_%20Immune_System.pdf
Of the cage controls, 4.3% had spontaneous abortions; of sham-exposed rats, 11.7% had spontaneous abortions; of EMR-exposed rats, 55.6% had spontaneous abortions. The Russians regarded this quite elegant experiment just as a pilot study.
In case you think this issue of spontaneous abortions in rats has no relevance to humans, listen to the evidence of Prof. John Goldsmith, doyen of research in this field for many years, holding many professorships around the world, hired by the US government to write the definitive report on the microwaving of the US Embassy in Moscow over several decades.
Goldsmith produced a paper in 1997, in which he reported a study of female physiotherapists who were using microwave equipment, on exactly the same frequencies as mobile phones, 915 MHz and 2450 MHz. The findings:
"Of the microwave-exposed women, 47.7% had miscarriages prior to the 7th week of pregnancy compared to 14.5% of nonexposed women."
The reported results are frighteningly in line with what the Russians found with rats, 40 years ago.
Now: I have corresponded directly with Prof Yury Grigoviev, the chairman of the Russian government radiation protection agency, author of that review of the Russian research. He confirmed for me that the official Russian government guidelines stresses NO MOBILE PHONE USE WHATSOEVER BY PREGNANT WOMEN.
This is a warning that should be given in the West; but, the governments would far, far rather kill your baby, than, heaven forfend, "alarm" you.
Prof. Grigoriev also confirmed, to my amazement, that the official Russian guidelines is absolutely NO mobile phone use by anyone under the age of 18 years, because their immune, nervous and hormonal systems are still developing.
I am told that Russian kids are quite nihilistic, and I'm sure that many if not most use mobile phones. I know that many of them also drink vodka for breakfast, against government guidelines. The fact remains that the government has at least issued precautionary warnings to its population.
Do any of you think you could get a response on this issue from the FCC? Let alone its chairman, Ajit Pai?
Here's a letter signed by 13 US lawmakers in May 2018, asking Ajit Pai why his agency refuses to answer their questions:
https://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/files/documents/FCC.20180.04.252.%20Letter%20re%20oversight%20and%20lack%20of%20responsiveness.%20CAT.pdf
Here's a letter from February 2019 from Congress's Committee on Energy and Commerce, asking Pai again why "you have also repeatedly denied or delayed responding to legitimate information requests from the public about agency operations":
https://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/files/documents/FCC.2019.2.4.%20Letter%20to%20Chairman%20Pai%20re%20116th%20Congress%20Oversight.CAT_.pdf
Even your lawmakers can't get a response from the FCC. It's been described as the most captured government agency in Washington, DC, by a Harvard study:
https://ethics.harvard.edu/files/center-for-ethics/files/capturedagency_alster.pdf
So, just to show how the FCC DOES respond to these charges of industry capture, here is a video of Ajit Pai making jokes about it at an "insider" dinner in 2017:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M7bHNwgTFo
Here is a transcript of Ajit Pai's extremely unfunny little skit:
Ajit Pai: "In collusion, I mean conclusion… sorry, Freudian slip, my bad. Many people are still shell-shocked that I'm up here tonight [as chairman]. They ask themselves, 'How on Earth did this happen?' Well, moments before tonight's dinner, somebody leaked a 14-year-old video that helps answer that question, and in all candor I can no longer hide from the truth."
The video then shows him talking with Verizon Senior Vice President Kathy Grillo:
Kathy Grillo: "As you know, the FCC is captured by industry. But we think it's NOT CAPTURED ENOUGH. We want to brainwash and groom a Verizon puppet to install as FCC chairman. Think Manchurian Candidate."
Ajit Pai: "That sounds awesome!"
Kathy Grillo: "I know, right?! There are only two problems. First, this is going to take 14 years to incubate. We need to find someone smart, young, ambitious, but dorky enough to throw the scent off."
Ajit Pai: "Hello!"
Kathy Grillo: "So you will do it?"
Ajit Pai: "Absolutely! But you said there was another issue?"
Kathy Grillo: "We need to find a Republican who can win the presidency in 2016 to appoint you FCC chairman. I think our best bet is an outsider, but I have no idea who that would be. If only somebody can give us a sign…"
At this point in the video, a picture of Donald Trump appears, to music from The Apprentice. Hilarity from all the insiders at this dinner.
Ajit Pai, Verizon lawyer turned regulator, does not have time to answer questions from lawmakers; but he has plenty of time to make little videos in which he insults all of us.
Remember: Bill Clinton's 1996 Telecoms Act specifically forbids any local authority from making one move to regulate the placement of a tower, even if there's a huge cancer cluster around it, so long as that tower is radiating under FCC guidelines. If a local authority even SAYS one word about it, they are in violation of federal law and can be sued by the operators.
A radiation guideline set by engineers, intended only to provide short-term protection from heating, based on military guidelines intended to protect a large Marine over six feet tall, trumps your rights to free speech, a healthy environment, protection for your kids, protection from surveillance within your own house.
And then they make big jokes about it.
Ajit Pai was appointed by Donald Trump. This is draining the swamp? Ajit Pai is the most vile and disgusting swamp monster I've ever seen in Washington, DC. Even worse than his predecessor Tom Wheeler, who famously said "We won't wait for the standards," in rolling out 5G:
https://www.takebackyourpower.net/gestapo-in-usa-5g-fcc-intimidates-press-kills-free-speech/
In the past, it was Motorola driving the tech through without any proper health testing or evaluation. Now it's the regulator, the FCC itself, saying, we won't wait for the standards, on issues like health.
So, yeah, these are Russian talking points, please, don't make me laugh, it only hurts when I laugh. You Americans need to wake up, and wake up pronto.
I have to go offline for a while now, a huge thunderstorm is brewing and I must unplug my ADSL line. Anyone who thinks I'm taking you back to the dark ages, remember: 5G won't work in the rain either, your self-driving cars will grind to a halt the moment there's a serious downpour.
The storm seems to have passed, but I'm typing very quietly. If the weather devas around here hear you even think the word "modem", there's usually a rumble of thunder.
I'm busy listening to (and audio recording) a presentation by Mr Barrie Trower on the dangers of wifi and 5G, uploaded on March 5, from a conference in Exeter. He waved that DIA document I mentioned above, and said it's the second-most infamous document in history, in the damage it will do to the human race.
The top infamy is a WHO document, from a major conference decades ago, listing all the illnesses to be expected from microwave radiation. It's been stamped TOP SECRET. Mr Trower says the WHO to this day refuses to acknowledge the existence of this document. He's 47 minutes in and going strong, this is a tour de force. He says the estimate is that 2 billion people will be killed by this radiation, that's one in three users. He's about to start on trees and nature in general. Must watch.

AnonyMaker says:
I recently ran across this piece which, besides addressing 5G specifically, also explains succinctly what Russia's aims are in its disinformation campaigns, in which they seek to weaken political and economic competitors, as a sort of holdover from the thinking and strategies of the Soviet Union and the Cold War:
Foreign disinformation: the plot to kill 5G
'Why Russia wants the U.S. to be afraid of 5G
Political scientists have made the compelling case that Russia is acting as a far more important geo-political actor than it really is. With a declining population and economic base, Russia is little more than a regional power, although one with global ambitions.
The current Russian leadership came of age in the Soviet Era, when Russia was a global superpower. Those days are long gone, but both the memory and the ambition remain.
Just as disinformation in the 2016 political campaign ignited massive tribalism in our country, and as the anti-vaccination movement has put millions of people's health at risk, so too does the campaign against 5G endanger our progress and endangers lives.
Russia compensates for its lack of real political power by using disinformation (particularly digitally) to exploit weaknesses in open societies. Putin's goal is to weaken democracy — not through direct confrontation, but rather by causing internal division, lack of faith in social and political institutions, and by spreading lies and false information. This multifaceted campaign throws doubt on science and facts. It causes citizens to distrust news media, political leaders, common sense and each other.
5G is an essential technology that will move the digital revolution into the next phase. Those countries that move quickly into 5G will gain an important advantage over those that lag behind.
Even with Putin's support, Russia is clearly, at best, in the second ranks of 5G development, far behind the U.S., China and South Korea.
The easiest way for Russia to level the playing field with 5G is to cripple its deployment outside Russia. That is where RT comes in. Their report detailing the massive dangers of the effects of 5G technology was titled, "A Dangerous Experiment on Humanity." Not even trying to be subtle or consider scientific evidence, RT — looking at 5G concerns — reported, "There is just a small one. It might kill you."
It's easy to see what is happening here. Through its disinformation tool, RT, Russia is trying to make Americans terrified of 5G. Using absolutely no science (because there is none), RT is stirring mistrust of facts, progress, and technology.'
https://www.digitalcenter.org/columns/plot-to-kill-5g/
Finally, I want to note once more that there are some safety issues with 5G and other broadcast technologies worth further researching, and responding to as actually appropriate. Overwrought sensationalism and dubious information (some of Fred's sources are good, but others are questionable if not outright pseudo-science.) doesn't actually help.
I can't take this anymore. These articles from Fred are making me lose brain cells.
I'd rather read 1,000 ShadowState articles (about Allie Mack) than see another article by Fred.
I have reached my mental limit here.
Help me stay sane, Frank. Stop publishing this shit.
If Frank publishes one more article from Fred, I am likely to OFF MYSELF just to get away from this insane shit.
No, I don't actually read Fred's articles. However, just seeing them on the main page is enough to make me want to OFF MYSELF cuz that mother fucker is literally a man with the mind of a small child.
He's somebody that grew up with a short-circuited brain.
Somehow the wires in his brain got crossed.
Maybe his mom dropped him on his head.
Or maybe his mom just grew tired of him and routinely beat the shit out of him as a child, knocking his brain wires loose, which I'm sure he deserved since no mother deserves to have a kid like Fred.
But either way, Fred is a person with a few screws loose upstairs.
I'm guessing that he's a personal friend of Frank's —— since there's no other reason for Frank to publish such wacky shit.
Maybe Fred grew up with Frank and they both played baseball together back in Sicily.
Stop torturing us Frank. Stop this shit NOW please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't off yourself until after you come on my show, you little chicken sh!t. LOL
po' lil' Pablo says:
Yes, Pablo has reached his mental limit quite a long time ago. He's suicidal but that comes mostly from the cleaning fluids he inhales at his janitor job. Fuck the censorship that Pablo and his meek-minded ilk represent. The truth hurts, you fuck.
Fred, publish this in your post about fluoride in water, they are very interesting articles that I have already seen, I would like to know your opinion.

Jarhead says:
When the first "horseless carriages" first appeared in the early 1900s, many people sounded the alarm due to the higher speeds of cars over horses. They also advocated that a person may not be as intelligent as a horse in the ability to focus on road hazards. Just sayin…
Rather than wade into the weeds of details, let's just do a basic reality check.
If the Russians are so safety-conscious, are they avoiding 5G themselves, or using their own somehow much safer equipment?
Nope – they're busy trying to catch up on internal deployment of the same systems their external propaganda is trying to sew doubt about in the West:
As Russia plans for 5G, Russian propaganda outlet says 5G will kill you
'Given Putin's prioritization of 5G, it may seem dissonant that RT America, the U.S.-based subsidiary of Russia Today, a state-owned "news outlet" widely regarded as the government's propaganda apparatus, is apparently ramping up coverage around the unfounded health concerns associated with 5G.'

Huawei Just Launched 5G In Russia With Putin's Support

Russia's first 5G zone deployed in Moscow
Aug 8, 2019 – Ericsson and Tele2 have launched Russia's first 5G zone in central Moscow on Tele2's commercial network
https://www.ericsson.com/en/news/2019/8/russias-first-5g-zone-deployed-in-moscow
I'm certain that 5G in Russia will be operating under more stringent radiation regulations than the West, but I'll check it out.
The new 5G-friendly regulations from ICNIRP — the guidelines used by WHO — have literally just dropped, I just got an alert from Microwave News. You can find ICNIRP's press release here:
http://icnirp.org/cms/upload/presentations/ICNIRP_Media_Release_110320.pdf
As far as I know, these basic guidelines will remain as they have been since 1998, there were no indications at recent ICNIRP meetings of any major changes, but I'll check these out as well.
ICNIRP is the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, an industry-dominated body that sets standards purely for the convenience of engineers. The ICNIRP standards are only applicable for short-term exposures, the measurement time is six minutes. They have always said they have no scientific basis for setting long-term exposure guidelines. Yet their short-term guidelines are taken as completely safe for 24/7 exposures by governments and the WHO.
I'm certain that the Russians will provide some nice-sounding talking points.
One of their longstanding modi operandi is to have laws and regulations for outward-facing propaganda purposes, which are not necessarily followed and often virtually meaningless. The most infamous example of that is of course their nominal justice system, which in practice is actually draconian (even compared to US over-prosecution) and often politically driven – or are you going to defend that as superior to the US approach, too?
Things like the recent nuclear missile test explosion over a populated area, Chernobyl, the Sverdlovsk anthrax leak, their nuclear submarine accidents, the Aral Sea environmental disaster, higher cancer mortality rates, generally shortened life expectancies, and so on, are more typical of how their system actually works out. Their higher rates of cancer deaths and shorter lifespan by themselves demonstrate that even if the Russians are more fastidious about a few things that might present some marginal risk, all in all its people are actually worse off.
The Russians care more about the welfare of their citizens than the U.S. LOL Things sure have flip-flopped since the good 'ole Chernobyl days. LOL
The Russians care more about the welfare of their citizens than the U.S. LOL Things have really flip-flopped since the good 'ole Chernobyl days. LOL
That is the simple truth, it's the one thing the Russians did right: they looked after their own population in terms of EM radiation.
Because they had weaponized this radiation, testing all the frequencies on thousands of political and psychiatric prisoners — Barrie Trower has stressed this aspect of the Soviet research, the sheer amount of deliberate torture involved, especially with the mood-altering frequencies — because they'd perfected microwaves as a weapon, the Russians knew just how damn dangerous this stuff was.
Here's an interesting fact. The carrier frequencies the KGB weaponized were 450 MHz; 800 – 900 MHz; and 1800 MHz. They found these carriers were the best for influencing the body and brain. Pulsed modulations were then added to these carrier waves.
Now, 450 MHz — is the "open" unlicensed frequency for all security applications, car remotes, etc. Very ubiquitous. Also found in some smart meters.
900 MHz — basic frequency of all the first GSM cell phones. This is also the basic frequency for medical diathermy, like burning brain lesions and tumors out with a focused microwave beam. Robert C Kane says that one reason they chose 900 MHz for cell phones was that there was a lot of existing engineering expertise at this frequency from medical diathermy, i.e. burning and heating tissue. I suspect this is why those physiotherapists were using equipment at this frequency.
So, for engineering convenience, you take the best frequency for burning brain tissue, and use it in devices which children are going to put against their heads. Very, very smart.
1800 MHz — basic frequency of all the GSM broadband phones.
These frequencies are disclosed in declassified US military documents, and in Peter Wright's infamous book Spycatcher, which Margaret Thatcher tried to ban — Wright investigated the microwave irradiation of the US Embassy in Moscow, he was the guy who worked out how The Thing worked (a device found in the National Crest that hung directly above the ambassador's desk).
The main frequency radiating the embassy was 1800 MHz, while The Thing worked on a secondary beam on 800 MHz.
The Thing was an entirely passive reflector, but had a paper-thin metal diaphragm that would vibrate with the ambassador's voice and modulate the constant beam of radiation washing over the embassy, in ways that could be detected remotely.
Later, Wright tracked down the captured German microwave engineer who had been forced to develop The Thing, who had finally been repatriated to Germany by the Soviets, and confirmed every last detail of its construction — Wright's frequency calculations were correct.
The British researcher Alisdair Phillips measured the microwaves used to irradiate the Greenham Common women in the UK in the 1980s, protesting against a US nuclear air base. Many women were made very sick, had miscarriages, contracted cancer. Phillips measured the carrier frequency at 1800 MHz. He testified about this to a House of Commons inquiry
And I personally confirmed from Barrie Trower that 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, the cell phone frequencies, were used as carrier frequencies by Soviet microwave weapons. There are other sources saying the same thing.
So, the exact frequencies that the KGB weaponized, found were the very best for penetrating the body and brain and having biological effects … are the exact frequencies of all the GSM phones all over the world. Quite a coincidence, yes? And I suppose for pointing this out, I'll be called a conspiracy "theorist".
And there's more: as Robert C Kane points out in the beginning of his book, the best frequency for burning brain tissue, in the 900 MHz spectrum, was not given to the surgeons — it was given to the mobile phone manufacturers.
Even more bizarrely, the frequency of microwave ovens, around 2.4 GHz, which resonates with water, is the range also given to wifi and other broadband wireless. I suspect this is why this was the other frequency those female physiotherapists were exposed to with their equipment, they must have been doing diathermy.
There's a famous nematode worm, every single gene of which has been mapped, it's a favourite for research. Around the year 2000, some Scottish researchers exposed these worms to low-level microwaves. Their scientific finding was couched in two words: "Slightly cooked."
Not so surprising.
So here's another reality check – do the Russians then not use GSM on those supposedly dangerous weapons frequencies?
Nope – another fail:
"2G GSM services are provided over the 900 and 1800 MHz bands"
https://halberdbastion.com/intelligence/mobile-networks/mts-russia.
The're also using the other band you cite as supposedly particularly dangerous, 450 MHz (which they've apparently used for other applications as well):
"Tele2 launches Russia's first LTE450 network"
https://450alliance.org/tele2-launches-russias-first-lte450-network/
WRONG. 450 MHz is the UHF licensed radio band. There may some parts of the 450 MHz spectrum that is used for other purposes, but to say the 450 MHz spectrum is unlicensed is a lie. YOU are a liar, Fred.
The primary reason why 900 MHz is used for phones is because the lower bands were already being used, from lowband through the lower 900 MHz. They even cleared TV channels off of certain channels so it could be used for 700 MHz Public Safety radio users, because all of the other available channels above and below were already assigned/licensed for other purposes.
Regarding medical uses of 900 MHz, do you understand the difference between nuclear power and nuclear weapons? They use many of the same isotopes, but you can't use a nuclear reactor as a bomb and you can't make power from a nuclear bomb. Another analogy is standing in the sun compared to standing at the focal point of an array of mirrors to boil water and make steam to turn a turbine and make electricity. You are so clueless it's laughable. In fact, the sun is even higher in the same electromagnetic frequency spectrum than any communications systems, do you stay out of the sunshine as well? LOL Of course, too much sun causes cancer, but it is the main source of vitamin D and regulates many other bodily/hormonal functions, so like most things, moderation is the key. Without vitamin D, your bones can break more easily and I'm sure Mr. Shadow can find a reference for all of the other benefits of vitamin D for your reading pleasure.
Fred, you're just a kook of the worst kind. You know just enough to be dangerous. LOL
Around here, just about all the security devices operate in the 450 MHz range, and they don't pay licence fees for this spectrum use. It may be different where you are, but I doubt it.
The big, big difference between microwaves and nuclear radiation — and solar radiation for that matter — is that it's COHERENT radiation, it's on a fixed frequency. And then it's modulated with very precise bursts of digital pulses, often on biologically active frequencies.
For example, many authorities — including the UK government's Stewart Commission — warn that microwave communications systems should not be pulsed at 16 Hz, the frequency of the calcium gate in cells:
http://whale.to/b/hyland.html
This is one problem with the TETRA system, as it's pulsed at 17 Hz. Barrie Trower first came to public attention when a confidential report he prepared for a police union on safety issues with TETRA were leaked to the public (not by Mr Trower, who never himself uses a computer). This calcium gate frequency was one issue he raised.
The TETRA system is also pulsed around frequencies known to cause epileptic fits and uncontrollable aggression. Many officers have reported mood swings when using this system, and Mr Trower gave evidence in a case where a British police officer attacked a passerby at a G20 protest and pushed him to the ground. The man, an ill alcoholic, died as a result. The officer had been sitting for two days in a radio van saturated with TETRA radiation. He felt that the radiation had affected his judgment.
Mr Trower testified in camera that this TETRA radiation exposure might well have induced aggression in the officer. This was not mentioned in any court coverage of this case. However, the officer was very controversially found not guilty of manslaughter, and I think Mr Trower's evidence may have helped convince the judge that the officer was not to blame. But this could not emerge in an open court.
Now, GSM phones are pulsed just above 8 Hz. I asked Mr Trower what seemed an obvious question: the first harmonic of 8 Hz is 16 Hz, so surely this pulsed radiation will certainly resonate with the calcium gate at 16 Hz, only hitting it every other pulse, instead of every pulse? And Mr Trower said yes, you're absolutely right, and he hadn't thought about that.
In fact, I've never seen anyone worry about it, except me. But the influence of microwaves on the calcium gate was one of the first really thoroughly researched mechanisms as to how low-level microwaves are able to affect the body. This issue of pulsed frequencies simply doesn't arise with nuclear power or sunlight, it's a big jumble of frequencies. This is how we're able to split sunlight up into a rainbow of different colors.
This 8 Hz pulsed frequency has also been reported in dozens of brainwave studies. As I've pointed out before, this is in the low alpha range, and indicates that the brain is falling into sleep. To find brainwave anomalies around 8 Hz is a disturbing finding, it means we are inducing a semi-zombie state in people's brains.
You don't need any specialized knowledge of microwave spying to see this. You just see: mobile phone radiation causes an anomaly at this frequency, not a surprise, as it's pulsed at this frequency; and it's going to put people's brains to sleep. I'll find a WHO review that shows 26 studies reporting these brainwave anomalies with ordinary cell phone radiation. But no one thinks this is a problem.
However, the first harmonic of this, 16 Hz, will have direct physical effects on calcium efflux from the cell. The more you research cell biology and see what actually holds a cell wall together, the more you realise the importance of calcium. Calcification in the body is a major source of artifacts in X-rays. To an extent, aging is just calcification. You cannot overestimate the importance of the calcium gate.
So, here we have one precise digitally tuned frequency having two drastic, but completely different effects on two entirely different physical systems. One is the meta-functioning of the brain. The other is the meta-functioning of every cell in your body. This kind of resonance effect simply DOES NOT HAPPEN with nuclear or solar radiation. You have to think in different ways. You have to think, period. You have to think like Barrie Trower.
When I've got time, I'll put together three reviews of the situation, which all argue that "non-ionizing" radiation is actually more of a hazard than nuclear radiation. One of the witnesses is Barrie Trower again. He went through several full nuclear alerts in the 1960s, like the Cuban missile crisis, as a specialist in radiation warfare. He knows exactly what the hazards of nuclear weapons are.
In an interview with a German medical doctor, Mr Trower described the genetic damage being done to all living organisms through pulsed microwaves. The interviewer said that this sounded worst than nuclear warfare. Mr Trower's response was immediate and emphatic: "It's much, much worse," he said. You think he's kidding. He is not.
Each country has different assignments for the various frequencies. It's related to the harmonics of each nationality and controling their minds. That's why the U.S. uses so many different frequencies, we've got people from all over the world and we want to control all of them. LOL

Are you in need of some Snuggle Font? Meet Snuggle Font, a full alphabet of visual letters I created which stay together by settling into a warm position and kissing to keep its form. A warm font by nature, Snuggle Font spreads warmth, humor, and a strong urge to kiss to all those who view it. While creating the font, I did ponder quite a lot about kissing (as you can well imagine!) It is quite bizarre how the pressing of lips can seal such a strong bond between people…..and even letters! While some letters of the snuggle font kiss quite passionately, for others it is more of a limp lipped affair. Is there anything worse than a limp lipped kiss?! I think not! If you know of anyone in need of a bit of Snuggle Font in their lives, feel free to share the love.

The housing market is tough on buyers. As of early 2018, the number of starter houses had declined by more than 14 percent over the course of a year.
If you're a seller, you'll never have more bargaining power. With so few houses on the market, it is what's called a seller's market. This means you can ask more for your home, and get it, than in a buyer's market when everyone wants to sell.
However, successfully selling your home isn't that simple. If you don't understand how to price your home to sell it quickly and attract high offers, you'll be singing a sad tune.
So how should you go about pricing your home to get higher offers? Continue reading to find out a few of our best tips.
There is not an easy, or even an objective answer to this question. Our professional Realtors know the market and give you top notch advice to arrive at your home's true market value. This will be based on comparables (also called "comps" in the industry), your home's condition, and frankly the demand in the market for that type of home at that particular moment.
So the hard part is finding that market value, but once you feel comfortable with it, put your home on the market for that value. Not a penny less.
If you list your home below market value, you'll likely leave money on the table, and that money will help you greatly in buying your next home. And while losing out on a couple of thousand dollars sounds like no big deal in the scheme of things, sometimes sellers dramatically undervalue their homes out of emotional reasons more than anything else.
Anyone who owns an "expensive" or "luxury" home should think about listing his or her property 5 to 10 percent below market value in order to get an offer in a reasonable amount of time.
Yes, we did just advise against listing your house below market value. Even so, this strategy can help sellers sell above market value in the long run.
Well, put yourself in the shoes of a seller who encounters a nice-looking home for a discount off what comps say should be the price. That seller is more likely to make an offer. And with luxury properties, that's important, because there are fewer buyers ready to buy in that category.
That seller may not be the only one who rushes to do so. Other sellers might get the same idea, and before you know it, your potential buyers could be in a bidding war.
Sellers stand to gain a lot when bidding wars break out. At the very high end of the market, there have been situations in which homes have escalated in price by six figures.
There's only so much you can do your own. You can tweak your home's listing price and fix it up as much as possible, but our agents are the ones who do this day in and day out.
Our professionals are incredibly knowledgeable and help you to be very strategic in the pricing and marketing of your home. They can tell you, for instance, the difference between the average home prices in Eagle, Idaho and Boise, Idaho. This specificity is unmatched by the average home seller.
For this reason, we highly recommend talking to us and working with one of our great listing agents. Doing so could help you save a lot of money in the long run.
Need More Advice on How to Price Your Home to Sell?
We've provided just three tactics you can rely on here, but there are so many more you can put to good use. So don't stop your research here.
If you need more advice on how to price your home to sell right now, our doors are always open. In fact, we'll even get you started by providing you with a home valuation. That said, drop on by today and find out how much your home is worth.

When some people shop for a home, they may focus on what their family needs. However, you may be confident that you can provide your family with everything that they need when buying a home. Your main priority may be finding a property that will provide you with luxurious living. This means that you will need to look around until you find all the right qualities in a single-family home.
Although you can leave your home to be entertained in all sorts of ways, you may be determined to have a lot of entertainment at home for your family and friends to enjoy. A pool and hot tub are two features that you will enjoy, especially when the pool has extra features. You can get a pool with an infinity edge, slide, heater, and high-end tile work to have a luxurious experience.
Some other ways that you can get entertainment in your home are a home theater, bowling alley, tennis court, or basketball court—all of which you can find in luxury properties. You will need to decide which entertainment options you want to prioritize while you are shopping around.
When you want to live in a home that allows you to host events with high guest counts, you need to prioritize spacious houses for sale. While square footage is an important measure, you should pay attention to the common areas because this is where guests will spend the most time. A large entryway, living room, kitchen, and outdoor living space are ideal for entertaining.
When you drive to your home, as soon as it becomes visible, you may want to be impressed with the landscape. This means that you will want to prioritize homes with a finished landscape that has a thorough irrigation system in place to handle most or all the watering needs.
You will also want to hire landscaping experts to maintain the landscape with debris cleanup, deadheading, mowing, and trimming. These services will keep your property beautiful.
To enjoy living in a luxury home, you should make sure that you are getting high-end features throughout the entire property. Prioritizing durable features such as solid hardwood or tile flooring, stone countertops, and fiberglass windows will help you minimize upkeep needs.
Knowing what to prioritize when you look at luxury homes for sale will help you purchase a property that will satisfy all your needs to enjoy luxurious living.

2017 Lotto wins in Cork: Some people had all the luck ...

Grainne McGuinness
FOR a number of lucky people in Cork, their budget for Christmas has grown considerably since last year, thanks to big wins in the Lotto and EuroMillions.
Five punters or syndicates claimed €500,000 in prize money, while another handful won several hundred thousand euros each.
In Gurranabraher, in January, a ticket bought at the Centra on Baker's Road won half-a-million euro in the Lotto Plus 1 draw.
The ticket-holder remained anonymous, but shop regulars were delighted by rumours that it was won by a local.
A couple of weeks later, €250,018 was won in Charleville and, in March, the Centra Quick Stop, on the Grand Parade, sold a ticket worth €236,254. The winner was a Cork man, who also preferred not to be named, but who headed up to Dublin four days later to collect his prize.
The next big win was in Mallow when 20 colleagues from the Barry Group wholesaler picked up a cheque for €369,210 in July.
"The blood just drained from my face, when I saw the €369,000," said Suzanna McAuliffe, whose responsibility it is to buy a Quick Pick ticket every Friday.
"But I was delighted. We're a group, there are 20 of us, so we've all benefitted, everybody's got a bit out of it."
A man described as a sports-loving bachelor won €257,097 in August but was determined it wouldn't change his life.
He even got the train straight back to Cork, after collecting his cheque, so he would be in time for his factory shift.
"I have my feet firmly on the ground, even if the win hasn't quite sunk in yet. I always have, so there's no chance the money will change me," he said.
He planned to spend his winnings on a house and a new set of golf clubs.
August was a good month in Cork, with €500,000 also won in Ballinlough, and €219,204 picked up in Kinsale.
The family who won the half-million prize were lucky to even be in the draw.
"We very rarely buy EuroMillions tickets, which makes the win more incredible," said the winning husband, who purchased the ticket. "I was standing in the queue of the shop and the fella in front of me asked for a Quick-Pick EuroMillions ticket. It was a case of monkey see, monkey do, because I had no intention of buying a ticket, until that!"
Brendan O'Driscoll, who sold the ticket in JJ O'Driscoll's Superstore, said there was "a bit of luck in the air" and it continued throughout Cork for the next couple of months.
Three more €500,000 prizes were won in the city and county, between September and October.
The tickets were sold in Easons in Mahon Point, the post office on Bere Island, and O'Reilly's Maxol on Watercourse Road.
The Blackpool winner said his wife feared the worst when he sat her down.
"I came in from work, after calling up the National Lottery, where they broke the news to me that I had won €500,000. I told the kids to go out and play and asked my wife to sit down.
"Immediately, she thought that I had lost my job, so I had to reel her in for a minute and then just told her we'd won half-a-million."
The lucky family are headed to Disneyland Paris in 2018, with the rest being used to clear the mortgage and put money aside for their children's education.
The Bere Island prize was won by an anonymous syndicate, who said it had been a "crazy week" after the news broke.
"We could never have expected the huge reaction that our beautiful little island has received, all across the world, just because of our EuroMillions win. We are extremely grateful for all of the support we have received and we are planning a big celebration for the entire island, once the dust settles," they said.
Congratulations to all the winners around Cork. Here's to plenty more in 2018.

Hersonissos Harbour - 2010
Road system/waterway
Chersonissos, Chersonisos
Hersonissos Harbour Theotokis Theodoulou (EEA) reports that an underwater autopsy was conducted indicating that: From the head of the harbour and towards the south, the existence of multiple walls was identified. The building style suggests these were Roman constructions, although some of the remains could also be ascribed to earlier periods. Inside the harbour basin pottery, building material, stone blocks, columns etc. were found. The windward breakwater, which was depicted in the drawing of J. Leatham and S. Hood, is completely covered under its modern equivalent; however its base is visible from plenty of places. On the contrary, the downwind breakwater is intact (Fig. 1). There, traces of the moulds are prominent on the preserved part of the puddingstone of the internal padding of the caissons, while directly at the north of its start-point, an elongated structure which can be monitored in the sea bed, built according to the core-and-veneer technique (emplekton), potentially comprises a dock or even part of the coastal pre-Roman wall of the town.

Q: any help i want to insert my trigger class in the codes below any help? global with sharing class ScheduledOrgInfoFetch implements Schedulable {

    public static String sched = '0 2 1 * * ? *';

    global static String ScheduledOrgInfoFetch() {
        ScheduledOrgInfoFetch SC = new ScheduledOrgInfoFetch();

    global static void SaveRecords(){
        GetPackages.OrgPackages();
        GetAccessTokenNBaseURL.getSFOAuth();

    }
}

my trigger class:
trigger StartInfoFetchSchedWhenSave on Client_Org_Info__c (after insert) { // When the client insert his Org credentials, this trigger will fire.

    if(Trigger.isAfter){
        // the trigger must run after insert to ensure that getOrgInfo method has a result that can be used by the Send_API method for GetSysOv

        ScheduledOrgInfoFetch.ScheduledOrgInfoFetch(); // calls the Schedulable class

    }

}

A: If I understood your question right, you want to call some logic in your trigger from some other class.
I suggest you using some trigger pattern for your goal. Take a look at this article, specifically the Frameworks section.
https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Trigger_Frameworks_and_Apex_Trigger_Best_Practices
So basically you create a class which handles all the logic. And you can call any methods from that class anywhere in the code.

Phish plan two-night stand in Worcester
As they tour across the West Coast this month, Phish have announced plans to return to the East Coast this fall. The veteran jam band favorites will hit Massachusetts for the first time this year when they hit Worcester for a two-night stand at the DCU Center on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26. Tickets for each of the shows will go on sale Friday, August 9 at 11 a.m. through Ticketmaster for $65. A limited number of two-night passes will be sold for $120.
This year marks Phish's 30th anniversary. The Vermont-based band are reportedly working on their twelfth studio album and follow-up to 2009's Joy. The album marked Phish's return after a four year break, and also re-united the band with producer Steve Lillywhite, who last worked with Phish on their 1996 release, Billy Breathes. No release date has been set for the new yet-to-be-named album.
"We kind of walked in there and said, 'Let's just write stuff together', which hasn't historically happened a lot," explained lead guitarist Trey Anastasio of the band's current writing process in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. "But it's such a good area right now in terms of communication. You know, writing together. Sitting up in the cupola in my barn with four pads of paper and looking out at the Vermont landscape and writing. So we'll see where it goes. We don't really know right now. But I think that's more important to everybody than anything. It's not really about the results, it's the fact that we're writing together. We like what we've got. We got stuff on tape, but it's not done yet. We're probably going to do a lot in the fall. As soon as this tour is over we're going to go right in the barn, but right now we're just going to enjoy playing."
