Court Awards Ex-Husband Lottery Win Share
By April Lopez Updated: July 17, 2014Categories: Divorce News and Statistics, World Divorce News
won £500,000 in the National Lottery and his ex-husband, a hotel
porter, got £85,000 in the High Court because she used some of the money
to buy a family home.
The prize was "non-matrimonial property", Judge Mostyn said.
But the woman converted part of her non-matrimonial assets into matrimonial property the moment she used some of it to buy a house.
Following divorce by a judge in England, his decision is thought to be the first ruling on a lottery prize.
After a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London, the judge announced his decision.
By order of the judge the couple's identities were not disclosed.
The porter was not entitled to "anything like" an equal
share of its value because he had actually lived in the house for a
relatively short period.
According to Justice Mostyn's written ruling, he had to
consider the treatment to be awarded to a lottery prize of £500,000 in
financial remedy proceedings following divorce.
He had no knowledge of any similar decisions made in English courts,
although there have been at least five reported decisions on the subject
in Australia of a dispute over a lottery win.
The couple had separated several years ago after the wife had won the £500,000.
The London property was worth £275,000 and the woman used
the cash to buy it. Now the property is worth nearly £500,000.
Where a husband or wife was unilaterally buying tickets from
his or her own income, without the knowledge of their partner, then it
was easy to see the prize as a receipt by that party alone and therefore
as non-matrimonial property, according to Justice Mostyn.
However when she bought the house, she had made part of it into matrimonial property.

Equinoxes are a time of great potential for change, but they can also push us into a healing crisis, and feel like a tidal wave sweeping us off our feet. To really harness the autumn equinox's potential, we need to stay clear, focussed and connected. A nutritional approach can help you find a clear way forward.
are very much a part of nature, and have an innate drive to respond to these seasonal changes.
Starting in the spring and early summer, our environment has been experiencing a distinctive upwards thrust, as plants shoot and flowers unfold. We too can use this energy to unfurl from our winter contraction, and gather momentum as we spiral outwards to match the blazing energy of the sun.
Now it's time to start drawing ourselves into our centre again, spiralling gently inwards. We breathe in, gather ourselves in to reflect, and protect against the harsh winter to come.
Many of us are not so responsive to the seasonal cycles, however. We may not open fully as we uncoil in the spring, but stay a little contracted. It's a natural, protective stress response to stay coiled, ready to spring into action – to fight or to flee. It accompanies the modern state of living on our adrenals: depleted and bombarded by ongoing stresses. Perhaps a difficult relationship or a stressful job; added to toxins in our water, food, medicines and air, and electromagnetic interference all around us.
As we hold on tightly our very cells contract, and we gradually become more toxic and stuck.
It is at this point that the extraordinary energy of an equinox can create the shift we need to free ourselves up and move forward again.
The autumn equinox is the fulcrum point at which that seasonal change in direction occurs: from spiralling out to spiralling in. As such, it is a moment of infinite possibility.
There's something special about the pause between the breath out… and the beginning of the next breath in. It's a pause filled with potential, an opportunity for change like no other.
As we discover from Bird & Tompkins in "Secrets of the Soil", when you stir water first in one circular direction and then the other to create an energising vortex, the true magic occurs at the point when the direction is changed and brief chaos ensues. Within that turbulence, hundreds of tiny vortices are created, energising the fluid with the vibrancy of as many little tornados.
So when we notice the energy of the seasons spiralling first outwards and then inwards, we can start to understand how the equinoxes, those moments of directional change, can bring us the energy of a multitude of vortices to help us shift stuck emotions, patterns and toxicity.
We know from millennia of experience that the force of this shift can often lead to a healing crisis. A healing crisis is what happens when toxicity – be it toxins, waste materials or unresolved emotions – is suddenly released from the cells, and quickly overloads the body's routes of elimination. Acute episodes such as rashes, diarrhoea, colds and flu can be quick to appear to help take the load off the thickened and struggling lymph.
The Chinese word for crisis, literally translated, means "danger-opportunity." With any healing crisis, we can use it as an opportunity to free ourselves of what's being shifted – or we can suppress the uncomfortable symptoms and push ourselves into a more chronic state. We can do this with suppressive medications, by bingeing on certain foods, or by keeping ourselves constantly busy. We can even do this with alternative approaches that focus only on alleviating symptoms.
So as we approach the autumn equinox, it is important that we take time and space to support ourselves. Natural Nutrition offers a wholistic approach to this. The approach helps you to make connections, recognise your patterns, and create space to move forward, offering dietary advice and simple naturopathic techniques to support you on your way.
The first step would be to gradually remove as much stress as possible, so the body can breathe and move freely again and so fully hydrate. We think hydration is about drinking enough water, but actually it's more to do with how well that water flows in and out of our cells, nourishing, cleansing and carrying information.
We can't always remove external stresses in our lives, but we can take much of the stress out of our diet. Look at the quality and quantity of water you are drinking. How many preservatives, additives, transfats and pesticides are in your food? How much sugar, caffeine and alcohol?
evolved to thrive on the food that grows around us in each season, and have developed cooking habits to match. In the summer, our faster, fiery digestive system loves cooling salads, and works well with raw vegetables and quickly digesting fruits. As the weather gets colder, however, or if we are stuck in a colder, more contracted internal condition, our digestive system slows down and our bellies need more fire. Soups and bakes are often much more suited to autumn/winter energy in our Northern European climate.
We can also use the energetic of food to support us. Fruit and vegetables grown above the ground have a higher vibration; whereas root vegetables and proteins, especially animal proteins, are much denser and therefore more grounding. Chinese Five Elements theory teaches us that that bitter leaves, such as kale, can also help draw our energy downwards, and that pungent foods, such as onions and garlic, are especially supportive in the autumn months.
Above all, take some time out, connect in and give yourself the attention and support you need to make the most of this golden opportunity.

The Natural Landscape of Death in "God's world"
Glenn Beauvais
This first blog series began with a thought-provoking collage by Mary Barnes called "The Evanescent and the Eternal." The intention was to initiate a discussion on aging and mortality. For me this immediately brought up Jung's image of the rhizome and the ever-enduring pursuit of the eternal beneath or within the continual flux of the appearances.
This rich subject, especially as it relates to mortality, also reminded me of another passage from Jung's Memories, Dreams Reflections where Jung expresses a deep appreciation for nature and growing up close to nature in the country. This memorable passage occurs in the second chapter on his school years, while he is grappling with No.1 and No. 2 personalities, as he calls them. It was just after his teacher wrongly accuses him of plagiarizing an essay:
It was some months after the incident just described that my schoolmates hung the nickname "Father Abraham" on me. No. 1 could not understand why, and thought it silly and ridiculous. Yet somewhere in the background I felt that the name had hit the mark. All allusions to this background were painful to me, for the more I read and the more familiar I became with city life, the stronger grew my impression that what I was now getting to know as reality belonged to an order of things different from the view of the world I had grown up with in the country, among rivers and woods, among men and animals in a small village bathed in sunlight, with the winds and the clouds moving over it, and encompassed by dark night in which uncertain things happened. It was no mere locality on the map, but "God's world," so ordered by Him and filled with secret meaning. But apparently men did not know this, and even the animals had somehow lost the senses to perceive it. That was evident, for example, in the sorrowful, lost look of the cows, and in the resigned eyes of horses, in the devotion of dogs, who clung so desperately to human beings, and even in the self assured step of the cats who had chosen house and barn as their residence and hunting ground. People were like the animals, and seemed as unconscious as they. They looked down upon the ground or up into the trees in order to see what could be put to use, and for what purpose; like animals they herded, paired, and fought, but did not see that they dwelt in a unified cosmos, in God's world, in an eternity where everything is already born and everything has already died.
Memories, Dreams, Reflections (Vintage Press, 1989), pg. 66-67
As an inveterate city-dweller, born and bred, these words struck me with some regret, when I first read them, for not growing up in closer relationship with nature. As a boy, I only remember brief distracted visits to the zoo which, in hindsight, tend more towards our separation from nature than our integration. I do remember, however, a couple of instances at the aquarium where I was left alone briefly in front of huge tanks of slowly wandering fish, big and small, and the lively and joyous activities of the penguins were particularly memorable. For the most part, these few visits served more to reinforce our detached urban culture than to nurture any kind of real connection with nature.
A few months ago, when I desperately needed some fiction after completing my MA degree, my dear partner who is a great fan of Laurens van der Post, suggested I read A Story Like the Wind. I had been aware of the close friendship between van der Post and Jung but I had not had the opportunity to read his fiction while being consumed by other things. Jung's influence and ideas became obvious at once as van der Post contrasts the mentality of the white colonialists with the ancient wisdom of nature, the bush or veld, and how this wisdom expresses itself through the indigenous culture as it is taught from one generation to the next. As I read I marked many passages worthy of reflection, but the following in particular stands out, especially for this blog series on aging and mortality.
At this point in the novel, the central character, François, is on the brink of manhood with a seriously ailing father when his uncle and guiding mentor, Mopani, gives the boy his intuitions about the immanent sad fate of the boy's father:
Mopani, of course, was right. No imagination has yet been great enough to invent improvements to the truth. Truth, however terrible, carried within itself its own strange comfort for the misery it is so often compelled to inflict on behalf of life. Sooner or later it is not pretence but the truth which gives back with both hands what it has taken away with one. Indeed, unaided and alone it will pick up the fragments of the reality it has shattered and piece them together again in the shape of more immediate meaning than the one in which they had been previously contained. Yet one must hasten to admit that even that was not the whole of the matter.
The boy's appreciation of his uncle's insight is supported by the cultural wisdom that surrounded him as he grew up among indigenous workers on the family ranch and their leader, 'Bamuthi, another great influence on the boy's education. I find this following passage remarkable in its contrast with the modernist mentality, as Edward Goldsmith calls it:
Like Mopani, François had the natural life of the bush to aid him in this moment of truth. Young as he was, death was no stranger to him. He could hardly remember, had he found it necessary to give so routine a matter a thought, a single day in his life in which he had not witnessed the death of some living thing. For instance, he had seen animals he had known personally as it were at Hunter's Drift, killed daily for food. He had learned to make his peace with the fact because it was death inflicted in a cause of life. He had been encouraged in this acceptance of this aspect of reality by seeing the same law at work in the life of animals, birds, insects and even plants. Moreover, he himself had been forced to be an instrument of death, by helping to shoot from an early age for food. He had also on several occasions seen people dying what men call a natural death. Lammie and Ouwa (his mother & father) both insisted, when any of their friends or servants were dying, that they all should rally to their side and stand around them so that they should know that they were not left to face that great departure alone in their little beehive huts. It was utterly impossible, therefore, young as he was, for him to think of death as the outrage which it is increasingly becoming in the view of metropolitan man, who keeps himself and his young as far as he can from witnessing death of any kind and so allows all the natural aids life has built into man for facing death to crumble by neglect and default. Death was as much part of the natural landscape of the spirit for François as that of the physical world. It was always near. One crossed the Amanzim-tetse river at one's peril from crocodiles and hippopotami. One entered daily the great bush so full of danger that from time to time men vanished into it, never to return. Nature, one's instinct informed one, was the example one neglected at peril to one's progress through life, was perhaps the world of the spirit made manifest without so that one could recognize it from within.

They did indeed see Jerusalem. They had walked where Jesus walked. In the Garden of Gethsemane, the guide said to them, "This is where God said his prayers."6 They walked along the Via Dolorosa, the road of tears that led to the Cross. They saw the place where Christ died and where he rose again. And it was on the journey home, when stopping in the Italian port of Brindisi, that G.K. Chesterton walked into a Catholic church and looked up at a statue of the Virgin and Child, and there made the decision that upon returning to England he would become Catholic. It was Easter Sunday. After death, resurrection.
He called his conversion "the chief event" of his life. But the surprising thing was how outwardly very little changed. He had defended the Catholic Faith in his writings for years; he would continue to do so. He had already written two dozen Father Brown stories. Nothing changed in terms of his stances on justice for the poor, for the laborer, for the downtrodden. He still fought corruption and greed and misgovernment. He still suffered fools gladly.
And yet everything changed. This was the hinge on which his life turned. After standing at the door of the Church and ushering others in without having entered himself, he finally went in. Now he belonged. Now he was in full communion with the saints.
Happy the man who meditates on wisdom, and reflects on knowledge; Who ponders her ways in his heart, and understands her paths; Who encamps near her house, and fastens his tent pegs next to her walls; Who pitches his tent beside her, and lives as her welcome neighbor; Who builds his nest in her leafage, and lodges in her branches; Who takes shelter with her from the heat, and dwells in her home. Motherlike she will meet him, like a young bride she will embrace him, Nourish him with the bread of understanding, and give him the water of learning to drink. He will lean upon her and not fall, he will trust in her and not be put to shame. She will exalt him above his fellows; in the assembly she will make him eloquent. Joy and gladness he will find, an everlasting name inherit.
"Dale Ahlquist is probably the greatest living authority on the life and work of G. K. Chesterton. As such, nobody is better qualified to offer a concise and illuminating overview of Chesterton's important contribution to contemporary faith and culture."

Ubisoft are giving away a Year 1, 2 or 3 operator to everyone who logs into Rainbow Six Siege from 24 December 2018 to 1 January 2019. Players will get one random operator and those who already own them all will receive 25000 renown.
Ubisoft is feeling festive once again and is giving every Rainbow Six Siege player a special gift wrapped pack which includes a random Siege operator from Year one, two or three. A special gift will be available from today - 24 December 2018 and will run until for just over a week, so better hurry up and claim your free operator.
Players will be able to get every operator they currently don't own and in case you have every single one of them, don't worry, Ubisoft won't leave you without a Christmas present. You'll be able to refund the pack and get 25000 renown in return to spend it on in-game skins, charms or whatever you want.
We already claimed our pack and got attacking operator Dokkaebi. She was introduced in Operation White Noise as a part of the Year Two pass. With her ability to hack into opponents' phones and make them vibrate for easier spotting she's not a bad drop at all.
Recently, Ubisoft added a new Fortress map and two operators in the Operation Wind Bastion update. Kaid is a defense operator and his unique skill is an electro claw used to electrify walls, hatches, barbed wire and deployable shields. Nomad, on the other hand, is an attacker and she can launch non-lethal repulsion grenades which push back and disorient the enemy when activated.
Along with these Christmas gifts, Ubisoft's Holiday Sale on Uplay is also live and you can get a lot of Rainbow Six Siege stuff at discounted prices. Some of the items include Pro League Sets, weapon skins as well as sets for various operators.
Additionally, you can also take a look other Ubisoft games as some of them are on huge discounts like The Division which is available for only $7 which is a bargain that comes just in time for the upcoming sequel.

Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon on the Growth of the Kosher Industry
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon, administrator of kosher certification agency KSA Kosher, has witnessed a growing interest in the kosher industry during the last decade. According to Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon, the quality of kosher food is prompting more consumers to explore information about these products.
Q: How has the kosher industry grown in recent years?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Studies produced by Integrated Marketing Communications have shown that kosher products outsell other brands by at least 20 percent.
Q: How is the marketplace adjusting to this growth?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Kosher is now the most common claim on new products, even surpassing the labels "organic," "natural" and "fair trade." Food manufacturers and grocery store owners see the label as a marketing tool to increase product sales.
Q: What foods are considered kosher?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Many detailed laws are defined by the rules of Kashrut. For example, only animals from a kosher classification are allowed and must be ritually slaughtered in accordance with the Kashrut laws.
Q: Do the animals need to be prepared a certain way?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Yes. Dairy and meat should remain separate, both in consumption and production.
Q: What kind of foods are prohibited?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Certain types of fish and meat are considered non-kosher, and consumers should seek out kosher certification labels for clarification.
Q: How many kosher consumers are there in the United States?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: There are about 9 million regular kosher consumers in the U.S.
Q: What food manufacturers sell kosher products?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Kraft, Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola and General Mills all produce a large number of kosher certified foods.
Q: Is kosher considered an assurance of quality?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Most definitely. In a study performed by Mintel Organization International, 62 percent of those surveyed said they purchase kosher products because of their perceived quality.
Q: What other reasons do consumers purchase kosher products?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: General healthfulness is a common reason, and of course, the observance of religious rules.
Q: How does a company begin producing kosher foods?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon:A company must first apply for kosher certification with an agency like KSA.
Q: What is the application process?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Applications can be filled out online by completing a brief questionnaire that clearly states the company name, contact information and specific food products.
Q: What happens next?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: After the application is received, a rabbinic coordinator contacts the company and guides its leaders through the certification process.
Q: How does the rabbinic coordinator handle this supervision?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: The rabbinic coordinator inspects the facility, evaluates the kosher certification fees, and defines necessary procedures for the company.
Q: What are the costs involved?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Costs are based on frequency of coordinator visits and a fee for the use of the registered trademark symbol of kosher.
Q: What happens after an inspection?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: After inspection, the rabbinic coordinator completes a detailed report and outlines issues that must be resolved. The head office then convenes to see if the company meets the guidelines to be certified kosher. The company obtains its kosher certificate when the contract is approved.
Q: Are these companies monitored afterwards?
Rabbi Binyomin Lisbon: Field representatives with ample experience in food production visit each company on a regular basis.

Edward Steichen (1879-1973). Photogravure from Camera Work Steichen Supplement.
Working in the early years of photography, Edward Steichen developed a groundbreaking, widely influential approach to the medium as he shot studio, aerial, editorial, and commercial pictures. Originally trained as a painter, Steichen made frames early in his career that embraced the soft focus, atmospheric composition, and retouched details that were also common to Alfred Stieglitz's Pictorialist approach. During World War I, Steichen shifted to aerial photography in order to help the war effort. His subsequent work embraced a sleek, modernist aesthetic, which is reflected throughout the iconic fashion photographs he took while working at Vanity Fair and Vogue. He later became the director of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art. Steichen has been the subject of solo shows at MoMA, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the International Center of Photography, and the George Eastman Museum. His work has sold for millions on the secondary market.

Neemix® 4.5
OMRI Listed & NOP Compliant. Kills, Repels & Deters A Long List of Sucking & Chewing Insect Pests.
Quart Concentrate
Neemix 4.5 is a broad-spectrum Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) botanical insecticide. Once a targeted insect (in its larval or nymph form) larvae or nymph comes into contact with or ingests Neemix 4.5 it interferes with its ability to molt. Although this product kills only immature stages (larvae or nymphs), treated larvae may die as pupae. Additionally, it repels and deters feeding in all the life stages of targeted insects. Neemix 4.5 is deadly to many sucking and chewing insects, but it has minimal impact on beneficial insects and posed no hazard to mammals and birds.
When using a product that relies on direct contact with the insect for maximum efficacy, it can be challenging to make that important connection. This is especially true with insects like whiteflies that feed on the underside of leaves. Neemix 4.5 addresses this issue by penetrating the plant via translaminar movement, which means it is absorbed through the leaf surface to affect the insect on the other untreated side. Repeated applications of Neemix 4.5 establish a barrier within the plant to prevent future establishment of infestations.
For use on vegetables, melons, strawberries, bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees, grapevines, caneberries, and other food crops raised for transplanting to production fields. Use on crops in the field, in and around commercial nurseries, greenhouses and mushroom houses.
Not for use in food-handling establishments.
The pH of spray solution containing Neemix 4.5 must be kept between 3 and 8. Use spray solutions within several hours of preparation for maximum effectiveness. Do not store diluted solution for later use.
When using lower application rates (less than 10 fl. oz.), combine Neemix 4.5 with an approved adjuvant such as a non-phytotoxic crop oil, up to 1% for improved spray coverage and translaminar uptake.
Do not apply to wilted or otherwise stressed plants, or to newly transplanted material prior to root establishment.
Do not apply to known spray-sensitive plants without testing first.
Application Rates: Target 30 ppm spray solution by using 4-10 oz. per 100 gallons of carrier.
OMRI listed and NOP compliant.
0-day Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) and 4-hour re-entry interval (REI).

Use with any suitable ground, aerial, or hand application equipment that allows for uniform coverage of the targeted treatment area.
Use with care when applying near streams, ponds, lakes of other bodies of water. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift or when the likelihood of runoff is high.
TANK MIXING:
Neemix 4.5 is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers. Check physical compatibility first by doing a small jar test. Then, test tank-mix combinations for phytotoxicity on a sample of plants prior to use. This must be done with combinations used before as environmental conditions can alter the interaction between compounds. Do not mix Neemix 4.5 with oxidizing agents such as bleach, or strong acids and bases as they will destabilize the product.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON FIELD-GROWN FOOD CROPS:
Application Rate: Apply 0.25 - 1 pint (4 - 16 fl. oz.) of Neemix 4.5 per acre in a manner to obtain uniform and complete plant coverage. For agronomic crops apply using conventional ground application equipment in a minimum of 30 gallons of water and aerial application equipment in a minimum of 3 gallons of water. Use the low rate as a preventative when pest pressure is low, or if used in conjunction with adulticide products. Otherwise, use the high rate. The maximum application rate is 20 grams active ingredient or less per acre according to the tolerance exemption (40 CFR 180.1119).
DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN GREENHOUSES (OR OTHER COVER) AND PLANT NURSERIES:
Apply Neemix 4.5 in sufficient water to ensure adequate plant coverage. Use 1-2 gallons of spray solution per 1,000 square feet, or a minimum of 30 gallons of water per acre for conventional application equipment (3 gallons of water per acre for low/ultralow volume equipment). When using lower rates (less than 10 fl. oz.), combine Neemix 4.5with an approved adjuvant such as a non-phytotoxic crop oil, up to 1% for improved spray coverage and translaminar uptake. Repeat applications every 7-10 days or as needed to maintain control.
Please refer to the manufacturer's label under the DOCS tab to get more extensive directions for use, including applications for chemigation, commercial lawns/ turf, mushroom houses, as well as pest-specific applications.

44 travel news May 2014 May 2014 travel news 45 Now that I have your attention I hope to draw you in a little more, before your daunting tasks of whatever-you–may-do, grab you away and my little story becomes a forgotten memory. Alas I cannot confess, at this moment, to wave a mighty wooden spoon around with a host of ingredients and disclose some of my treasured recipes, but this is more about wildlife. (Well, I could slip one little recipe in, if TN will let me! See page 49.) Most of my life I have had the privilege of being able to live, work, guide and be fortunate enough to traipse across our beautiful country. I could paint a picture with enthusiastic aplomb with a paintbrush gesticulating madly like the infatuated conductor, splashing huge amounts of paint hither and thither. Our landscapes deserve better, as we do have, right on our doorstep a mighty majestic canvas, filled with cascading monuments of exquisite beauty, which no matter how hard one tries to slap together a masterpiece, it will still not capture the ever-changing blossom of mighty scenes. However, I turn to wildlife, which as mentioned has, to put it mildly, entangled me in its mighty web of fascination. There is so much to learn, absorb and take into account that I could not possibly fulfill my lifelong ambition to become a complete 'boffin', as my interests encapsulate every aspect of - how can I put this - birds, plants, flowers, insects, the eco system, wildlife (large & small). Need I say anymore? I eat to live, not live to eat! by Peter Cadot Ace Safari Guide & Chef Extraordinaire Rest assured that I will continue to learn as much as I can, from whatever source available and therefore I am not shy to take on more information! I was recently on safari in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater, which I last visited with my brother and his clients in 1973; I was then a mere whipper-snapper. It was perhaps the last time one could set up a full luxury camp on the floor of the caldera – magnificent, I must say. One special moment that I will never forget and I quote from my dairy, on my first morning in camp on the floor of the crater, having reached camp late at night: "The following morning as the sun was rising and casting delightful shadows across the plains, a herd of wildebeest with their ungainly lollop, mixed with zebra came rumbling past the front of our camp, dust clouds casting a gorgeous backlit golden orange with the rising sun, then out of this dusty scene, two beautiful, very proud lions with huge black manes, strolled out no further than a 100 yards from camp and sauntered past. It was one of those most magical, special wildlife moments that I will never forget for the rest of my life, a memory and a moment to treasure." Today it's a little busier than 1973, with at least five lodges of approximately 100 beds each, lining the rim of the crater, but all the same there are moments of tranquility from the roaring diesel engines and vociferous excited clients, where one can observe in relatively peaceful surroundings the abundant wildlife. We happened upon a golden jackal with unusual behavior. I say unusual, as I had not witnessed this before and therefore the excitement bubbled forth. Trotting towards us it approached each and every rock, placing its front paws on the rock and pulling it over, dipping its head, then munching happily away at whatever it caught underneath – ' things' somewhat vague, but I could not work out what they were.

Canzonetta, Op. 19 is a piece for Alto Saxophone and Piano accompaniment composed by Gabriel Pierné and arranged by Marcel Mule. Initially written for Clarinet and Piano, the piece was written in 1888 and can be played by advanced players with a fairly high difficulty level.
Composed in a single movement, the piece features some different sections linked together. It starts with dotted rhythms that are slightly reminiscent of a siciliano, and is followed by a part that sounds like a Scherzando. The dotted rhythms disappear in the Piu Vivo section but the opening theme soon comes back before a grandiose finale.
Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer, conductor and Organ player. He won the French Prix de Rome 1882.

Novolex Introduces Supplier Code of Conduct
Novolex has introduced the Novolex Supplier Code of Conduct (the "Code"), which is designed to hold members of its global supply chain to vital standards for ethical conduct and to adhere to policies and practices that can protect the environment, respect human rights and promote worker health and safety.
"All of us who are part of the Novolex family hold ourselves to high standards of conduct that will ensure our business practices respect and protect our employees, the communities where we live and operate, and customers and their consumers who use our products," said Novolex Chairman and CEO Stan Bikulege. "We view our suppliers as part of our family and an integral part of our value chain. We expect them to share our commitment and adhere to the same standards that we set for ourselves for ethical and responsible conduct."
The Code elaborates on requirements for supplier conduct in a number of areas. The Code obligates suppliers to respect and protect those rights as well as ensure the health and safety of their employees. The Code also calls on suppliers to adopt and apply practices that strive to minimize the impact of their operations on the environment by encouraging reductions in the use of energy and water and the generation of waste and emissions.
The Code includes anti-corruption and anti-bribery provisions as well as guidelines for gifts and entertainment. In addition, the Code addresses the need to protect data to safeguard confidential information. Finally, the Code offers suppliers and their employees access to an independent Ethics and Compliance Helpline that can be used to report violations of the Code without fear of retaliation.
"Our Code is integral to our relationship with suppliers large and small who we rely on every day to produce the highest quality products and manage many aspects of our operations," said Gary Alstott, senior vice president and chief procurement officer at Novolex. "Adherence to our Code will reinforce the commitment of our suppliers to the values they share with us to behave ethically and responsibly."

Michael Holding wins SJA Award for Best Pundit in 2020
Former West Indies fast bowler and commentator Michael Holding broke down while speaking on racism during the West Indies tour of England in 2020
By Editor On Mar 16, 2021 Last updated Mar 16, 2021
Michael Holding has won the Sports Journalists' Association (SJA) Award for Best Pundit in 2020 at the SJA Awards and Sky Sports won the Sports Network of the Year category.
The Sports Pundit award, which is decided by an SJA Members' vote, was given to former West Indian pace bowler Holding for his powerful testimony about racial injustice in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, on Sky Cricket's coverage of England against West Indies in July 2020.
Alongside Ebony Rainford-Brent, a nominee in the same category, Holding delivered an emotional and impassioned plea for an end to institutionalised racism through meaningful change in society as the pair reacted to the death of Floyd in police custody in Minnesota.
In his acceptance speech, delivered via video at the awards ceremony hosted online due to COVID-19, Holding said: "It is something that has been in me and in my head for many, many years.
"People don't understand what it is like to go through life and always thinking that people think less of you than what you think of yourself.
"It can be a little bit tiring and when I got that opportunity it just came spilling out."
Asked by host Jim Rosenthal if he thinks that 2020 will be a pivotal year for change in social and racial equality, Holding answered: "I believe so and I hope so.
"If you just look at the protests on the road and look at the faces of the people that were on the road. I saw a Swedish women's football team take a knee before a game, so it is going all over the world that people are recognising that things need to be done, and it's about time it did."
CWI President Ricky Skerritt praised Holding for his passion and bravery: "Michael Holding has always made West Indians and his many international fans proud of him, both on and off the cricket field. His latest journalism award recognises his sincerity, passion, and bravery in the face of adversity and conflict. These are some of the same principles that represent the best of West Indies cricket. CWI celebrates with Mikey Holding, for continuing to make us all proud to be West Indian." (Sky Sports and CWI)

Unplanned vehicle downtime can be a major disruption for any fleet operator, especially those with specialist service, engineer or delivery fleets, and can prove costly if not managed effectively.
For many fleets, time is money, and having vehicles off the road for any length of time can disrupt schedules, delay deliveries and, ultimately, affect cash flow and profitability.
Having a vehicle off the road for whatever reason can also be expensive in terms of replacement costs or lost business opportunities.
Both drivers and vehicles are critical to your business, particularly if they are skilled technicians or the vehicles are modified or equipped for a specific job, so unplanned vehicle off-road (VOR) time is a drain on business resources that needs to be kept to an absolute minimum.
When is VOR time planned?
Planned VOR time occurs normally within the business and would include regular interventions such as scheduled service and maintenance and 'duty of care' or safety inspections.
However, when vehicles are off the road due to breakdown, collisions, or any delays in service and maintenance and repair schedules, then this is unplanned.
Planned VOR time should be a known cost and planned into workflows to minimise disruption to the business.
This can have the benefit of reducing maintenance costs, minimising disruption but still maintaining high safety standards through having regularly maintained vehicles.
And vehicles that are not required elsewhere may be able to be reallocated to fill in for a vehicle which has a planned VOR time.
Accidents and breakdowns are typically identified as the causes of most unplanned disruptions to vehicle availability and, perhaps understandably, are usually more difficult to manage.
The old adage that 'prevention is better than a cure' may well apply, and there are very clear benefits to the adoption of robust daily vehicle checks coupled with regular preventative maintenance, duty of care inspections and driver training.
Nipping a maintenance issue in the bud could prevent a long period of unplanned VOR at a potentially difficult time.
However, where unplanned VOR does occur, as speedy a resolution of the problem as possible is required.
CLM offers a fully integrated downtime management system that ensures proactive management of all service, maintenance and repair (SMR) events to ensure vehicle downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.
Dedicated fleet control staff proactively chase the progress of any SMR events via direct links with the garages involved.
The driver and fleet manager are kept up-to-date with regular updates by phone, text or e-mail. And because every minute matters during downtime, any issues raised or outstanding actions identified are followed up as quickly as possible.
Where repair work is required due to an accident, qualified technicians monitor repairers closely and authorise necessary work rapidly.
This expertise allows us to ensure the integrity of the repair, reduce vehicle downtime by timely completion and exercise greater control over costs. Additional support is also provided by rapid mobile support responses for tyres and glass.
Where the driver's vehicle is not roadworthy for whatever reason, and where a courtesy car is not available through the repairer, we can provide an alternative vehicle, typically sourced from our daily rental operation.
This can be arranged on a like-for-like basis with vehicles delivered within two hours to ensure the minimum disruption to the driver.
Currently around 30% of our rental business is for accident replacement or mechanical breakdown cover. However, our corporate rental arm operates a multi-supply network with all of the leading rental suppliers.
Between them they operate over 1,000 outlets in the UK, providing access to a whole range of cars and vans that meet the short term requirements of corporate customers at extremely competitive rates. So supply is never an issue.
At the same time, our fleet controllers effectively manage the amount of time that the vehicle is on hire to ensure that clients do not incur costs for any longer a period than absolutely necessary, thus providing them with complete peace of mind.
What are the benefits of downtime management?

All too often, Ph.D. students leave grad school with no idea of how to find jobs outside a traditional academic or research career track. This problem is particularly acute in the humanities and STEM fields without obvious industry career tracks, such as my own, planetary science.
The fault lies with university departments and their faculty. The reason is obvious: professors, those most responsible for training future Ph.D.-holders, typically followed a traditional academic career path (college → grad school → postdoc x n → tenure-track position) and had limited exposure to sectors beyond academia.
I received my Ph.D. from a geology department. Although there are career paths for geologists in all sectors—academia, industry, nonprofit, government, education—my department did not provide any information on non-academic/research career options. The implicit message was the only acceptable career options were in academia, a government lab (e.g. NASA or the USGS, often soft money unless you're a civil servant), or a non-profit research institution (which is nearly always soft money).
My grad school didn't train me sufficiently on how to get a non-academic job, but at least the campus was pretty!
During my postdoc, when I decided to jump ship from academia, I had to figure out how to do so on my own. My postdoc advisor told me "I can't help you"—not out of malice but because he sincerely had no idea how to guide me. I was on my own.
To learn how to develop a non-academic career, I joined the Cheeky Scientist Association industry training program. It provided an excellent framework for how to decide in what direction to take my career as well as the steps for how to do it. It's biased towards the life sciences but has plenty of advice and guidance that applies no matter what your Ph.D. is in.
The training I received worked. I applied to only 1 job; my first day of work was 3 months later. I've spent the past ~3 years working at start-up companies and have zero regrets about my decision to leave the career path I had been trained—and expected—to follow.
Note: I am not receiving any payment for sharing the resources above. They are included because I honestly believe they are valuable.
Explicitly tell your students that you'll be supportive of their choices even if their career path doesn't end up looking like yours.
Educate yourself on non-academic career options and how to best prepare your students to enter a sector you're unfamiliar with. For example, do you know how a resume is different from a CV? Do you know what applicant tracking software is and how applicants should write their resume to ensure a human sees it?
Invite individuals with relevant degrees from diverse sectors to speak about their career paths to students in an informal setting that allows them to ask lots of questions. I participated in an "alternative careers" panel at a major conference and was told by an attendee that she learned more from the panelists in that hour than a semester-long seminar on the topic taught by professors who had never worked outside academia.
Maintain an alumni database that grad students can easily access for networking. Simply having a list of where alums work 5, 10, 15, 20 years later can demonstrate to students how non-linear careers can be—and that it's okay to do something unexpected with your degree.
Invite colloquium speakers from outside academia.
Have a recruiter educate students on the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring process.
So much of human interaction is nonverbal. No one ever told me in grad school that I would be a failure if I left academia, but that was the message I absorbed. Simply talking about non-academic careers will go a long way in normalizing them.

Making it Work is part of the 21st Century Life investment area of Investing in Communities, though which Big Lottery Scotland invests in projects that bring improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need. The programme will offer investment of up to £1.25 million each to a partnership in 4 local authority areas: Edinburgh, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire and Fife. Up to £2m investment is available to a partnership in Glasgow. Making it Work aims to join up services to tackle the barriers faced by lone parents returning to work, and to create more sustainable local partnerships to support lone parents in the future. The programme is targeting lone parents experiencing the greatest barriers, including those with disabilities, or caring for someone with disabilities; with a large family (3 or more); living in an area with a depressed labour market; living in chaotic circumstances; with little work experience or who have been out of work for two or more years.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the Foundations Independent Living Trust (FILT) Warm at Home (WAH) Programme in terms of the impacts on health and wellbeing of households in receipt of the Programme as seen from both the perspective of Home Improvement Agencies delivering the Programme and beneficiaries. The evaluation also considers the FILT, HIA and national body of HIAs model for delivery of home-based interventions as a vehicle to combat the impact on health of poorly heated homes occupied by vulnerable householders. To do this it is important to understand which interventions (systems, processes and interventions) have worked well for whom and why.
To carry out a Health Impact Assessment on the health and quality of life, including security and mental well-being of Lambeth's residents based on the impact of the Decent Homes ('DH') programme and the Lambeth Housing Standard ('LHS') programme on the Council's own housing stock.
An evaluation Yorkshire Adoption Agency's (YAA) activities funded by a DFE Expansion Grant (2014-16). Employs a mix of quantitative and qualitative data, including Adoption Leadership Board (ALD) data.
The project will evaluate the impact of programme activity over the two years and increase the research and evaluation capacity, skills and knowledge of DMBC adult social care and its partners.
The project team also includes Angela Tod (Sheffield Hallam University) and Annette Haywood (University of Sheffield).

The First Afghan War:
The British colonies in India in the early 19th Century were ruled by the Honourable East India Company, a powerful trading corporation based in London, answerable to its shareholders and to the British Parliament.
In the first half of the century, France as the British bogeyman gave way to Russia, leading finally to the Crimean War in 1854. In 1839 the obsession in British India was that the Russians, extending the Tsar's empire east into Asia, would invade India through Afghanistan.
This widely held obsession led Lord Auckland, the British governor general in India, to enter into the First Afghan War, one of Britain's most ill-advised and disastrous wars.
Until the First Afghan War, the Sirkar (the Indian colloquial name for the East India Company) had an overwhelming reputation for efficiency and good luck. The British were considered to be unconquerable and omnipotent. The First Afghan War severely undermined this view. The retreat from Kabul in January 1842 and the annihilation of Elphinstone's Kabul garrison dealt a mortal blow to British prestige in the East, only rivalled by the fall of Singapore 100 years later.

The causes of the disaster are easily stated: the difficulties of campaigning in Afghanistan's inhospitable mountainous terrain with its extremes of weather, the turbulent politics of the country and its armed and refractory population, and, finally, the failure of the British authorities to appoint senior officers capable of conducting the campaign competently and decisively.
Shah Shuja holding court in Kabul: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
At the beginning of the war the substantially Hindu East India Company army crossed the Indus with trepidation, fearing to lose caste by leaving Hindustan, and appalled by the country they were entering. The troops died of heat, disease and lack of supplies on the desolate route to Kandahar, subject, in the mountain passes, to repeated attack by the Afghan tribes.
Once in Kabul, the Anglo-Indian army was reduced to a perilously small force, with many of the troops sent back to India, and left in the command of incompetents. As Sita Ram in his memoirs complained: 'If only the army had been commanded by the memsahibs all might have been well.'
The disaster of the First Afghan War was a substantial contributing factor to the outbreak of the Great Mutiny in the Bengal Army in 1857, and, more immediately, led to wars in Sind, Gwalior and against the Sikhs in the Punjab.
The successful defence of Jellalabad and the progress of the Army of Retribution in 1842 could do only a little to retrieve the East India Company's lost reputation.

Account of the Battle of Kabul 1842:
Learning of the massacre of the British and Indian Army retreating from Kabul in January 1842, the Governor General in Calcutta, Lord Auckland, rushed reinforcements across India to Peshawar, and appointed General George Pollock commander in chief of the relieving force, the first artillery officer to hold high command in a British Army.
Afghan tribesman: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
Pollock reached Peshawar on 6th February 1842, to find the two brigades of Indian sepoys in a state of near disintegrated morale. It took months of encouragement and training to restore the regiments to a condition of battle readiness, all the while receiving pleas for help from Brigadier Sale, besieged in Jellalabad beyond the Khyber Pass.
In March 1842, a third brigade, consisting of cavalry, reached the army, a reinforcement that completed the restoration of the sepoys' morale.
On 5th April 1842, Pollock's army of eight infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments and two batteries of artillery, 8,000 men in all, marched out for the Khyber Pass.
Afridi tribesmen blocked the pass with a barricade of wood and thorns. Columns of Anglo-Indian infantry infiltrated along the peaks on either side of the barricade, while the artillery blasted grape shot into the thicket, causing the Afridis to abandon the barricade without a fight. That night, the army encamped beneath the recaptured strongpoint of Ali Masjid, the iconic feature at the top of the pass.
3rd King's Own Light Dragoons: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
At about this time the Ameer left in Kabul by the British, Shah Shujah, was murdered by the Sirdars in his capital city, and his son, Futteh Jung, reluctantly and fearfully took the throne for a short time, before escaping to the British camp and surrendering to Pollock.
In the South of Afghanistan, Brigadier Nott had resolutely held Kandahar for many months, with a force maintained at a high level of efficiency and morale, in sharp contrast to the state of the dispirited and finally annihilated troops that marched from Kabul in January 1842.
In December 1841, Elphinstone despairing called for Brigadier Maclaren's brigade to march from Kandahar to Kabul, but the Afghanistan winter had balked the journey and forced Maclaren to return to Kandahar, leaving Nott with a powerful and self-confident force.
In January 1842, Nott received the same message that Shah Shujah sent to Sale in Jellalabad, directing him to retreat to Indian. In marked contrast to Sale's vacillations, Nott refused point blank.
The British Army marching out of the mountains into Central Afghanistan: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
In March 1842, news reached Kandahar of the surrender of the garrison in Ghuznee to the Afghans. Despite a guarantee of safe conduct, the Afghans massacred the sepoys and took the British officers prisoners, among them John Nicholson, later to earn fame at the Siege of Delhi during the Indian Mutiny.
Also in March 1842, Pollock's force reached Jellalabad, where the garrison was found to have fought off the besieging Afghans. Pollock and Nott awaited instructions from the new Governor General in Calcutta, Lord Ellenborough, Pollock's primary concern being to secure the release of the British prisoners from the Kabul garrison, still held by the Afghans.
Skinner's Horse at exercise: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
Ellenborough's initial order, sent in mid-May 1842, was for both forces to retreat to India, with the implication that the prisoners would be abandoned.
Before either force was ready to begin the withdrawal, Ellenborough, on 4th July 1842, varied his orders by permitting Nott to withdraw to India via Kabul and Jellalabad, and Pollock to withdraw via Kabul.
This was the wide discretion each general sought, and both rushed for Kabul.
Pollock fought two vigorous skirmishes on his way to Kabul, in one of which, at Huft Kotal, he inflicted a heavy reverse on Akhbar Khan and his army of 15,000 Afghan troops, before marching onto the old race course outside Kabul on 15th September 1842. For much of the route the troops were forced to march over the bones of their colleagues and their families, massacred and mutilated during the terrible retreat in January.
British storming Afghan position at Huft Kotal: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
The progress of Pollock's army was marked with the utmost savagery. Not for nothing was it named the 'Army of Retribution.' In areas known to have taken part in the massacre of the Kabul garrison, whole populations were slaughtered and villages burnt.
On 9th August 1842, Nott sent the greater part of his force back to India from Kandahar, via the southern route through Quetta, while he marched for Kabul with his two British battalions, his 'beautiful sepoy regiments' and his artillery.
On 28th August 1842, as Nott's army approached Ghuznee, his cavalry was badly mauled in a bungled attack on an Afghan force.
On 30th August 1842, an army of 10,000 Afghans formed on the hills to the left of the Kabul road. Nott attacked and forced the Afghans off the battlefield with substantial losses.
Nott reached Ghuznee on 5th September 1842 and drove the Afghans out, before pillaging the town in revenge for the massacre of the sepoy garrison and the ill-treatment of the British officers.
Release of the British prisoners held by the Afghans: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
It was the command of the new Governor General, Lord Ellenborough, that the army bring away a set of ornate gates, known as the Gates of Somnath, said to have been looted from India by the Afghans and hung at the tomb of Sultan Mohammed in Ghuznee. A sepoy regiment, the 6th Jat Light Infantry, was required to carry the gates back to India.
On 17th September 1842, Nott's army reached Kabul to find, to his chagrin, Pollock there before him.
It was known that the British prisoners from the Kabul garrison were being taken west towards Bamian. Nott, on his march to Kabul, had refused to comply with the urgings of his officers to dispatch a force to Bamian. Pollock did send a force to Bamian, comprising Kuzzilibash Horse under Sir Richmond Shakespear. Brigadier Sale was sent with a force of infantry to support Shakespear, appropriately as Lady Sale was one of the prisoners.
Shakespear arrived at Bamian on 17th September 1842 to find the British prisoners had negotiated their own release and were in command of their prison and the surrounding area. Prisoners and escort arrived in Kabul on 21st September 1842 to a rapturous greeting. Before the British and Indian troops left Afghanistan for India there was still unfinished business.
The Kohistanees were known to have played a major part in the uprisings of December 1841 and January 1842, leading to the massacre of the Kabul garrison. A division from the 'Army of Retribution' conducted a foray into Kohistan, burning the capital Charikar to the ground, and massacring much of the population.
Bazaar in Kabul: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
In Kabul, Pollock's army destroyed the main bazaar on the basis that the heads of Macnaughten and Burnes had been carried through it after their murder in 1841.
On 12th October 1842, Pollock and Nott left Kabul with their troops and began the retreat to India via Gandamak, Jellalabad and Peshawar, destroying Jellalabad, Ali Masjid and many villages and towns on the way. Yet again the truth of Wellington's words was demonstrated ('It is easy to get into Afghanistan. The problem is getting out again.') The Afghans harried the retreating troops along the route, particularly through the gorges of Jugdulluk and the Khyber Pass. In the final fighting, 60 of Nott's force were killed before the British and Indians reached Peshawar.

Casualties at the Battle of Kabul 1842: British and Indian casualties were around 500 killed and wounded. Afghan casualties are unknown. Many thousands of Afghans were slaughtered in the reprisals.
Follow-up to the Battle of Kabul 1842:
Britain's involvement in Afghanistan has always been dramatic and destructive; never more so than in the First Afghan War.
Captain Colin Mackenzie of the Madras Army in the Afghan costume he adopted to escape from captivity: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
Britain had enough of Afghanistan after the terrible events of 1839 to 1842. The policy of the Government of India, particularly that of the 'masterful inactivity' of Lord Lawrence, kept the British out of Afghanistan for thirty years, until another lapse of good sense and restraint saw the outbreak of the Second Afghan War.
The gates in the toomb of Sultan Mahmud of Ghuznee, removed by Brigadier Nott as the 'Gates of Somnath': Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
Anecdotes and traditions from the Battle of Kabul 1842:
The Gates of Somnath: In around 1025 AD, Mahmud of Ghuznee pillaged the Hindu Temple of Somnath, on the south-western Indian coast. Tradition had it that the Afghans removed the sandalwood gates of the shrine and took them to Ghuznee, where they were hung on Mahmud's tomb. Lord Ellenborough, the Governor General, in an attempt to gain the approval of his Hindu subjects, directed that the gates be recovered and brought to India. In obedience to Ellenborough's order, Nott's men, during the pillage of Ghuznee in revenge for the massacre of its garrison, removed the gates. On hearing that his order had been complied with, Lord Ellenborough issued a declaration that the British, in recovering the gates, had wiped out a disgrace of 800 years standing. The 6th Jat Regiment carried the Somnath Gates back to India, where Ellenborough caused them to be paraded across the country in a special ceremonial car, before being returned in triumph to the shrine at Somnath. On examination, Hindu scholars rejected the idea that the gates were the originals taken from Somnath and they were relegated to the fort at Agra. No doubt there was unflattering comment made of the Governor General in the ranks of the 6th Jats.
Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal: Battle of Kabul 1842 in the First Afghan War
The Khelat-i-Ghilzai Regiment of the Shah Shujah's service, on its arrival in India, was taken into the British service with that name and continues in the Indian Army.
A battery of horse artillery in Shah Shujah's army was also taken into the British Army, and continues as T Battery of the Royal Artillery, with the subsidiary name of Shah Shujah's Battery.
The East India Company issued a medal called the Candahar, Ghuznee, Cabul Medal to the troops of Pollock's and Nott's forces.

Q: How do I choose what language to use in DrScheme? I recently downloaded PLT Scheme and DrScheme. When I open DrScheme, I am told to choose a language. However, I'm not familiar with any of my options, and the help guides don't really break it down to help me easily choose which choice.
So, first - is DrScheme and PLT Scheme really the tools I need to learn Lisp and/or Scheme? If so, what are the different languages and which one(s) should I be using?

A: Just go for "Pretty Big". That will be all you need until you know what the rest are for. I find that R5RS is good, but it does lack the extensions that PLT has added to DrScheme.
edit: I just checked and I guess that both "Pretty Big" and "R5RS" are considered "legacy" in DrScheme 4 and the "Module" language is favored instead. Just make sure that all the files you use with the Module language start with
#lang scheme

Module is a way to specify the language used in the source file rather than globally by the DrScheme interpreter. This means that you can use different languages for different parts of your program by breaking it up into files and indicating in each file the language you're using. If you're just starting out, all you need to worry about is just keeping #lang scheme at the top of all the files you use.
A small note - this declaration is not official Scheme, and needs to be removed if you attempt to use the files in another Scheme interpreter.

A: Standard (R5RS) is the actual thing so that would be your best bet
i learnt it from http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/
used MIT Scheme while doing that
but otherwise i find plt a lot nicer to work with


Ricky Warwick, one of our many talented home grown rock and roll stars has stepped aside from the ranks of Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy to bring us his own collection of songs.
The Belfast born singer songwriter has put together a double album, part one showcasing his straight up electric rock n roll roots, with comparisons to the sounds of Thin Lizzy and BSR. Meanwhile part two, Hearts on Trees, tends to sway more towards a simpler style of songwriting, directly influenced by his own experiences living in America and Northern Ireland.
Although the album has given the front man his opportunity to break away from the title of Thin Lizzy and Black Star Riders, that does not stop this album from boasting an array of amazing musical talent featuring alongside the Irishman for some songs. Names such as Joe Elliot (Def Leppard) Damon Johnson (Thin Lizzy/Black Star Riders) Nathan Connolly (Snow Patrol) Richard Fortus (Guns 'N' Roses/The Dead Daisies) Billy Morrison (Billy Idol) Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers) and Andy Cairns (Therapy?) all appear on the tracks within this album. A pretty impressive group to have featuring, I'm sure any rock and roll fan will agree.
The double album holds some monstrous rock n roll songs, flying out of the traps from the offset with 'The Road To Damascus Street', setting up a trend of hard hitting, head banging tunes, filled to the brim with those familiar vocals of Ricky himself, that at times pay tribute to those of Phil Lynott. Face melting guitar solos, rocking power riffs, gut shaking bass lines and throttling drum fills also run a riot throughout the album, a prime example of which is shown on the track titled 'If You're Not Gonna Leave Me'. The first part of the double album seems to be a collection of songs equally as personal as the second half, made for the big crowds that want to sing back and go crazy, sticking to the more familiar version of Ricky Warwick, that guitar wielding front man keeping classic rock and roll alive.
With part one of this double album ringing in our ears, thanks to its loud rock n roll heights, Ricky kicks off the second part of the album, a collection of acoustic songs, in what would seem equally as aggressive manner, however this time picking up an acoustic guitar instead. The rocky blues track of 'Presbyterian Homesick Blues', heavily influenced by the experiences of our little corner of the world, provides an honest opening song, with lyrics that will hit home of any Belfast inhabitant and have you hitting that repeat button for sure.
The album goes on to provide us with a really stripped back version of Ricky, with heartfelt acoustic songs like '82', dishing out what seems to be very personal thoughts and stories. The songs remain very much rocky however, not swaying from his roots, its as if rock and roll decided to just whisper for the second half of the album, creating some beautifully composed songs wrapped around those brutally honest lyrics.
This form of songwriting is a rare commodity in today's music scene, with not many artists today being able to pull such an album off (never mind a double album!). The album is a true testament to the talents of Ricky Warwick, showcasing just how brilliant of a songwriter the man is. Yeah it has everything we would expect from him, in terms of those classic rock n roll riffs, the moments that provide us with nostalgic thoughts of Thin Lizzy, but the album holds so much more than just that. It's more like a biography, a collection of songs that show how the front man was shaped into the figure he is today. Think, if Van Morrison had an equally as talented, rockier, tattooed covered brother that just released an album.
Apart from a few months living in Prague I've lived my whole life in Ireland. I've always been involved with the music scene from the moment I was given the opportunity. Joining the GiggingNI team was just the next step for me. A way in which I would be able to share with readers the great music that's surrounding us. We don't need to wait for the Arctic Monkeys or the Foo Fighters to come to us to experience a great gig, we can find it all on our own doorstep most weekends. But anyway, hope you enjoy my articles and get to see some great new bands from it, or at least have some great nights out.


The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Dylan Reese to a one-year contract, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Reese's contract is a two-way deal worth $600,000 at the NHL level.
Reese, a native of Upper St. Clair, Pa. joins his hometown team after spending the last three seasons in the New York Islanders organization. The 27-year-old Reese split last season between the Islanders and their top minor-league team, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League (AHL).
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound Reese established NHL career highs in 2011-12 for games played (28), assists (6) and points (7) with New York. Reese also appeared in 27 games with Bridgeport, notching 15 points (2G-13A).
Reese, who was originally drafted by the New York Rangers in the seventh round (209th overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft, has played in 74 career NHL games with the Islanders, amassing three goals, 14 assists and 17 points.
Reese, who played his youth hockey with the Pittsburgh Hornets elite travel program, has played parts of six seasons in the AHL with Hartford, San Antonio, Syracuse and Bridgeport, accumulating 13 goals, 83 assists and 96 points in 260 games. He's added six points (2G-4A) in 10 AHL playoff games.
Before turning pro, Reese played four seasons of college hockey at Harvard of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) from 2003-07, notching 61 points (21G-40A) in 121 games. Prior to joining Harvard, he spent two years with the now-defunct Pittsburgh Forge of the North American Hockey League (NAHL).
Reese becomes the fourth player from the Pittsburgh youth hockey system to play for the Penguins organization since 2003, joining Ryan Malone (2003-08), Bill Thomas ('08-09), and Nate Guenin ('09-10).
