Mr Schacht also said that the programme to improve the diesel engine, both in performance and social characteristics, is moving ahead at high priority along with the turbine development.

Over 30 members submitted their artwork for the critique, positively and constructively carried out by an old friend of the Society, Sian. Each painting was viewed and reviewed, with knowledgeable advice given. Every member always gains from the critiques, for their own and others work, and we thank Sian for imparting her expert and kind, constructive critiques.
It was a difficult choice, she said, but chose her top 2! Kevin Strong's glorious leaf collage was her first choice and Roger Bennett's fabulous African lady was the runner-up. Well done and well deserved!

My name is Ruan Peat and I would like to adopt Timespan Museum.
I live in Caithness, in the north of Scotland, and have been here for 20 plus years. I am the Network librarian for the Wick ILC and I am based and mainly work form the Wick High School Library. I am a keen crafter and love painting, I adore the Highlands of Scotland and know that if how good it was up here was known down south we'd be inundated!
Timespan, located in Helmsdale in the Scottish Highlands, started in 1986, and while it has moved and upgraded over the years, it has kept the original ethos of local history made accessible, and welcoming. It covers the local area of Sutherland from the far past of early man and how the very land formed, to cutting edge art and post clearances survival. It is good value with even a family ticket under a tenner, and is open all year round; also it's a great venue in bad weather or good.
My first visit was due to car sickness, my then small children needed a break and we followed the museum signs. With no preconceptions we wandered in and fell in love. My oldest child is dyspraxic and chats away nonstop, the staff answered every question and showed him how everything worked, they let him touch and hold, see and help, he learnt so much from that visit and many since. They have the local heritage come alive, and every visit has left understanding more about this wonderful culture. The changes over the years have been to its improvement and the little café should get recognition all on its own. They hold exhibitions that could be very local right up to international ones linking us to the world. Timspan is very much a Highland locals museum, run by supporting staff and set up for locals and visitors, to help bridge gaps and spread knowledge wider than just who you know. A true hidden jewel as its off the main road and runs on Highland time.


The European Union is to review the energy sector this autumn, including proposals on unbundling ownership while large companies say it is a politically-motivated move could harm the entire market.
If made law, the policy will result in the forced sale of energy assets.
Unbundling has become the new buzzword in the halls of the European Commission. The umbrella term includes various types of unbundling, all aimed at separating energy supply from its delivery and generation.
But none compare to what may lye ahead for energy giants.
"The worst case scenario is ownership unbundling which means that the infrastructure can not be built by the company which is trading the gas. If this will not be possible in the future anymore, we will have a lack of investment, prices of energy could increase," predicted Ingo Neubert, Managing Director of Wingas Transport Kassel, Germany.
Some types of unbundling are already being enforced. The so-called legal unbundling has altered the structural make-up of companies such as Wingas, a joint venture of Germany's Winters-hall and Russia's Gazprom.
Until recently, Wingas was involved in shaping the connecting infrastructure that delivers gas to EU consumers. But in 2006, it had to create a new company, Wingas Transport, to meet new unbundling requirements. The separation is not only symbolic but physical as the new company is located in a completely new building.
As are it's 65 staff members, along with all the paperwork necessary for the relocation. Wingas claims the changes only increase administrative barriers and slow down the company's operations. Selling these assets will solve everything, policy makers claim.
They insist ownership unbundling will help small companies enter the market.
But legal experts say there's more behind the move.
"They may also have other interests like opening up the market for their own major players," pointed out Oliver Steffens, a partner at McDermott Will and Emery.
A number of countries such as Germany and France are against such a measure.
And in order to make ownership unbundling a law, the European Commission requires the consent of all member states, which raises a bigger issue.
"How much power the EU is actually supposed to have in approaching the member states in sectors such as energy sector," shared Mr Steffens.
Companies, of course, say less is better.
"I believe we already have a lot of laws concerning the energy market in the EU. We don't need additional laws," stated Mr Neubert.
Policy makers refuse to leave everything up to the free market. They claim regulation is necessary to protect both small companies and consumers from the monopolistic behavior of energy giants. But the radical shake-up of the energy market could cause a bundle of other problems such as higher prices and a lack of investment.

For years, I taught in several NJ elementary schools and had the privilege of educating many Kindergarten, Second Grade, and Fifth Grade students, as well as leading Basic Skills reading groups. Reading and writing have been my favorite activities since I was a little girl so I always made them a large part of every lesson I taught. Tutoring students for reading readiness and fluency was a natural transition from the classroom when I became a stay-at-home mom.
I found myself working with a lot of families who identified their children as struggling readers. The reading activities I had developed for my Basic Skills students in the public schools worked equally well in our tutoring sessions. Parents began to use my activities in their homes as reinforcement, and with their other children as well. Several encouraged me to write these activities down and that is how the Reading House began!
Please feel free to contact me by e-mail, or keep in touch via Facebook and Twitter. I love receiving questions, comments, and ideas from fellow parents and educators!


"You've got a global—a set of global networks—that Al Jazeera has been the leader in, that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes," Clinton told members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news," Clinton said Thursday.
So what is it about Al Jazeera ("The Peninsula") that's won grudging praise from Hillary who admits that American news organizations are unable to inform and who implies that officials watch the network far more than they would admit?
To me, it's not just about organizational and technical matters of global network or lack of commercials or format or, thankfully!, the absence of talking heads and assorted poseurs who essentially know nothing about, say, the Middle East region, much less their country's actual behavior and how it's perceived and experienced by the world outside.
Nor is it about American professors of media and journalism talking the anodyne language of the press or media in society, their analysis, understanding, and perceptions limited by their cultural provincialism. Or Charlie Rose show-type chatter by American journalists conversing on the intrepidness of, yes, American journalists uncovering, oh such amazing stuff, heroically, even romantically reporting from faraway (embedded) battlefields, essentially saying little and assuming a default American innocence.
Is it the network's smart studio layout and production sophistication, its multicultural awareness employing white, brown, black, Asian anchors and reporters?
Its dignified, intelligent, poised, bilingual/multilingual, Arab female anchors and reporters, a curious site to those who only know of the oppression of Arab women? Its in-depth special reports and programs, such as "Empire" and "Witness"?
The apparent, perceived crisp intelligence of spoken British-English of most of its anchors and journalists? The authentic experts, from America to the Middle East to China, consulted on every conceivable topic in every part of the world?
It's probably all those things, real and perceptual, but it's also something deeper.
The reality is that even free media reproduce their own cultures—their prejudices, biases, their Weltanschauung, even though they try hard, we assume, to report facts and be objective. American media reflects the American's way of seeing and apprehending the world, and that's essentially through an American nationalist lens.
Add to this the fact of corporate ownership that has limits on deep, critical, reporting and analysis of America's dominant financial and economic institutions, and you have quite uninteresting and uninformed reporting. Al Jazeera is also not free from cultural limitations, and if it seems, on its reporting of American policy in the Middle East or Palestine, biased, it's reflecting the region's world view (and I dare say much beyond)—and of course what seems like criticism to American officials is quite objective to the rest of the world.
Al Jazeera's superiority is, to me, a matter of seeing, understanding, and perceiving at many levels that the vast majority of Americans typically cannot.
Al Jazeera is emblematic of a more complex, contextualized understanding of life representing, for lack of better term, a third world or perhaps old world view.
We Americans, unlike Europe or the rest of humanity, have not experienced revolutions or transformations of regime, violent class conflict, genocide, tyranny, religious wars, wars on our soil (with the exception of the Civil War), occupation, suffering and so on. We had our revolution and it's all been linear progress and plenty since—or so that's how we perceive our history.
We believe our country's actions are always benevolent in nature and purpose, even beseeching the world to emulate our success. We don't easily relate to the idea of a nexus of power between economic and political elites, how those privileged determine much of what goes on in the vast majority of the world's societies, economies, and polities.
We tend to see the "free market" as a panacea for all ills, an abstract totemic thing we virtually worship, a replacement of moral, public, and civil society space. The right wing radio talk show wing nuts even believe that American media is hopelessly leftist and liberal and socialist and anti-American, for everything about us is right and just and good. We are a profoundly status quo nation, hardly comfortable with revolution and fundamental questions and critiques of socio-economic and political change yet proudly insistent that we were born of one, revolution that is.
Our media is like our movies, pitting good against evil, hero against anti-hero, usually narrated with a happy-ending, typically portraying, along with ubiquitous commercials, a fantasy America populated with affluent people with nice homes and cars and vacations and gadgets and happy children.
News, certainly 24-hour news, is ideally supposed to educate, inform, edify, offer a new perspective, a new way of seeing an issue or others. Instead, American news has that inescapable quality of entertainment about it.
Also, the idea that our nation is motivated by anything less than noble goals and delusions of benign American power out to do good is profoundly rooted in American culture, and it shows in the news. We don't act ideologically, like "communists" and "socialists," we don't have "ideology," but merely wish to bestow our great values, freedom and democracy, on the rest of the world. We are impatient with detail and complexity, with nuance and context in understanding social movements and histories. We apply military power for good. Americans will fiercely hold on to their core myths regardless of the reality. How we see the world, based on our own experience, is how we, the mainstream media, report it.
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, because of the legacy of the black experience, see at many levels that which white Americans, part of the dominant majority worldview, generally cannot. They get it, including, I'm willing to bet, the issue of Palestine, as does virtually every black American I've spoken to about this topic.
Oppression, exclusion, marginality will do that; will make one far more aware and perceptive of life and the other guy, the guy who has power and is in control.
In the end, Al Jazeera's journalism is one of depth, nuance, and context that American media simply cannot replicate.
Al Jazeera producers, hosts, anchors, reporters—Arab, European, Asian, and African—do apply context and depth (as do American reporters who absorb Al Jazeera's organizational culture and mission). They come from societies with a thousand year history; they get it. Consider Anderson Cooper's enthusiastic reporting for freedom and good and anti-tyranny in Egypt and Libya. A great thing to be sure, but notable for its naivete, its form over substance, its lack of meaningful observation or insight, its inability to go beyond the surface, its reliance on in-house experts.
This is typical of American media. Contrast this with a typical field reporter for Al Jazeera (Arab or European), who can relate from her/his own experience and background, understands at deeper levels the discourse of "state" and "society," the meaning of authoritarianism, dictatorship and monarchy, the complexity and cynicism of human behavior, the importance of religion or spirituality in human, including Muslim, life, the role of money, wealth, class in the unfolding of political and social change.
In this way, Al Jazeera's reporting and specials anywhere in the world, particularly the third world, contain unique critical analysis and reporting. It's "real news," as Hillary has it.
Al Jazeera minces no words about its advocacy for liberalization and change in the Arab world, and of course it's been signally instrumental, along with the Internet, in this regard.
I assume Hillary, from her remarks, is happy with this, but of course the problem is that we're not happy if the message, the narrative of our role, is not spun exactly, precisely as we want it, to avoid any questions, any whiff, of hypocrisy, lies, and double standard. To accuse Al Jazeera of biased or unprofessional reporting is not to see ourselves and to betray our annoyance at being unable to control others' perspective on our policies. To say that it's unbalanced on Palestine-Israel is to deny the permanent near (mainstream media) blackout on the brutal reality of Israel's occupation and the facts that inform it. Everything is permissible to openly talk about, investigate, report, including Arab revolution of the acceptable kind—except Palestine.
Is not the network ultimately doing what Western commentators say they want to see: a free media that relentlessly questions the prevailing assumptions, received wisdoms, and authorities? Unfortunately, satellite and cable owners refuse to carry Al Jazeera for something other than the false, benign explanation of competition with American networks, and that is fear of "real news" about Israel.

Our findings from the latest International Business Report show business leaders around the world, for the most part, enter 2017 in a positive frame of mind. During 2016 business leaders faced an unprecedented level of uncertainty, particularly in the UK and the United States. The estimate for global growth fell from 3.6% in 2016 to 3.4%. Despite this business, optimism stood at a two year high of 38% at the end of 2016. However, business optimism has dropped to a two year low in Singapore to -28% and in other developed economies of the Asia Pacific, such as Japan.
Grant Thornton's International Business Review (IBR) will provide quarterly insight into business sentiment in these turbulent times.
The IBR draws on more than 10,000 interviews with business leaders and international economic forecast data, this latest report explores the growth drivers and constraints facing dynamic businesses over the next 12 months including economic uncertainty, export growth, and business propensity to reinvest among other indicators.
Global business optimism stood at 38% at the end of 2016, representing a five percentage point jump from the previous quarter, and the highest level in almost two years.
Despite Brexit we have witnessed a marked rise in business optimism across the European Union, up six percentage points from 28% to 34%.
Globally the proportion of firms expecting revenue to increase in 2017 has climbed to its highest figure in nearly two years.
Half of the businesses tell us they expect to generate greater levels of revenue, but only 20% plan to offer wage increases to their employees above inflation rates.

Rick's Picks #7
Posted on December 21, 2010	by groovyrick
I just finished watching "My dinner with Jimi", a film that was made by Howard Kaylan back in 2003. If that name doesn't sound familiar to you, Howard was the lead singer of The Turtles in the 1960s, then went on to join Frank Zappa's band in the 1970s with his fellow Turtles singer, Mark Volman. They did a few albums as Flo and Eddie, and also sang back-up vocals on some classic hits, including "Hungry Heart" by Springsteen and "Bang a Gong" by T-Rex.
The movie centers around Kaylan's recollections of The Turtles' first visit to England after they became famous with the mega hit "Happy Together". They hung out with Graham Nash of the Hollies, as well as Donovan. Nash got them good and stoned and took them to a London club called "The Speakeasy". That's where they met The Beatles, and Turtles rhythm guitarist Jim Tucker became pretty disillusioned almost immediately. On their way out, Kaylan ran into Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, and ended up having dinner with Jimi Hendrix. One important note: this all happened on their FIRST NIGHT THERE.
I won't tell you any more about the movie, you should check it out for yourself. But it reminded me how much of a Turtles fan I really am. They were a GREAT 60s band, and Howard Kaylan himself has made a contribution to the book that I'm writing (more on that later).
This edition of Rick's Picks is a little different, as I won't be focusing on an album. The Turtles really weren't an album band…they were a singles band. So here are my top ten Turtles singles:
1-Outside Chance – This tune wasn't a hit for the band, but it's a great song, written by a very young Warren Zevon.
2-Somewhere Friday Night – A beautiful piece of psychedelic pop written by Kaylan.
3-Happy Together – Far and away their biggest hit, one of the biggest hits of 1967, I never get tired of this song. The harmonies are fantastic.
4-Eleanor – Kaylan wrote this song as an "anti-Happy Together" to show their record company that songs like that were silly. The joke was on Howard…it became a top-ten hit.
5-She's My Girl – According to original drummer Don Murray, many radio stations didn't play this song because they thought "morning glories" were a drug reference. He says that's what kept it from number one.
6-You Showed Me – Written by Roger McGuinn and Michael Clark of The Byrds as an up-tempo Beatle-ish number, producer Chip Douglas played it for The Turtles on an old pipe organ that hadn't warmed up yet, so it ran slow. The Turtles preferred the slower version.
7-It Ain't Me Babe – Their first hit was a remake of the Dylan tune. When they met Dylan backstage after performing that song, Kaylan says that Dylan remarked, "That's a great song…you guys oughta record it."
8-You Baby – Pure California 60s pop at it's finest, written by Steve Barri and PF Sloan.
9-You Know What I Mean – Not a big hit, but a great song with great harmonies…written by the same guys that wrote Happy Together, Gary Bonner and Alan Gordon.
10-Grim Reaper of Love – One of the first songs written by band members (Chuck Portz and Al Nichol), it's dark, psychedelic…and cool.
Check out some Turtles when you get a chance. And if you have an opportunity and want to learn more about the group, Rhino Records made a great movie about 15 years ago called "Happy Together: The Story of the Turtles". It's hosted by Volman and Kaylan, and they tell some GREAT stories.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
"Years ago there was a game Philip Guston and I used to play. We were the last artists." - Morton Feldman
In the 1950s and 60s, Morton Feldman struck up close friendships with two artists who deeply informed his life as a composer: John Cage and Philip Guston. During the course of each friend's life, Feldman witnessed transformations which comprise chapters now iconic in the history of Western art: Cage fully embracing chance as a compositional construct, and Guston returning to figurative art after decades of abstract expressionism. Feldman was left to navigate the space between them.
Following this development in Guston's practice in the 1970s, Feldman (fully committed to the ethos of abstraction) was unsure of his position toward his friend's new work. This friction caused a gulf between the friends from which they never fully recovered. Despite this rift, in 1977, Guston painted Friend - to M.F., a portrait of Feldman with a massive ear and smoking a cigarette in profile. When Guston died in 1980, Feldman delivered the Kaddish at his late friend's funeral.
Although the two never resolved their differences, they preserved a deep affection and lasting respect for one another. Visiting Guston's studio to view his dear departed friend's last works, Feldman still struggled to make sense of where he and Guston lost their common understanding of the world. "I have resistance," he said, "in talking to anyone who could tell me why Guston assembled these last works the way he did. My attitude is not unlike my father refusing to ask for directions the time we were lost in Hoboken."
Written in 1984, three years before Feldman's own death, Feldman produced his nearly five-hour trio For Philip Guston, a poignant homage to a dearly departed friend that touches upon friendship, intransigence, affection, searching, memory, loss, and love.

Ever been told that you can be anything you want to be in life? Well if you believe that, then Richard Mille is the brand to believe in when it comes to luxury watches. Richard Mille watches are dreams and experiences transformed into tangible timeless timepieces. The RM011 which enjoyed a nine-year reign as a much sought after luxury wrist piece is just one of the legendary luxury watches that come to mind. The novelty embodied by all the watches in the Richard Mille collections has kept the innovation behind all these designs alive.
Richard Mille's Mission was to create luxury watches that completely realize their function with every element of their form. The brand uses materials never before seen in watch-making. The brand is in a habit of reimagining the purposes and designs of certain. Novelty is the word that comes to mind when you discover the first titanium movement baseplate which was the highlight of the 2001 release the RM002, the carbon nanofiber baseplate from 2004. Richard Mille boasts of the world's lightest mechanical tourbillion never stopping in breaking its own records from the RM06 to the RM09. Another aluminum-lithium tourbillion movement and a case constructed from ALUSIC, movement from Phynox rods and working movement elements cut from semi-precious stones among others can only add to the marvel of this brand.
The majority of Richard Miller luxury watches get their inspiration from sports and from the athletes themselves. The line of luxury watches has a long history of association with prolific athletes across all disciplines that have influenced one design or another. The likes of Rafael Nadal the tennis star, Bubba Watson US golfer and Felipe Massa the Brazilian race car driver are just but a few who have been huge influences in the brand with others being brand ambassadors after the fact.
The most notable alliance is the one between Richard Mille and Rafael Nadal which saw the watchmaker breaking new grounds in using new materials for movements in order to make the watches even lighter than was previously thought possible. Their 2010 partnership birthed a watch that weighed only 18 grams and Rafael Nadal wore the RM027 during his matches at the French Open, US Open, and the prestigious Wimbledon. In 2015 the first Richard Mille luxury watch to have a metal bracelet was unveiled. It was an improvement on the first one made for the tennis player and has a unibody design, another first for luxury watches.
In another of Richard Mille's daring feats a limited edition luxury watch named for Felipe Massa the brand's first ambassador is created with a case made entirely from sapphire crystal. This becomes its most famous and expensive luxury watch and the creativity pays off with huge numbers.
The luxury wristwatches by Richard Mille have continuously been improved in on very unexpected ways. The founder Richard Mille a seasoned watchmaker brought into life an eponymous brand of luxury Swiss watches that has been testing and breaking limits of what was previously unexplored ground since 1999. And the result is an ever inspiring collection of luxury watches that we have today.
Hotwatches designer replica watches are the closest to the original brands.
Being a proud owner of a Richard Mille luxury watch shouldn't be a stressful endeavor for you. Our Richard Mille replicas are identical enough to pass the test with every component duplicated to the finest detail. Looking around for a luxury watch on a limited budget one has to come to terms with the fact that getting the next best thing to a genuine Richard Mille might actually be the best thing. Genuine luxury watches are expensive and whether you can afford one or not it might not be worth it to spend all that money on a watch you can get an impressive imitation of at a much more affordable price. Hotwatches are the best choice for you as they look every bit as expensive as the ones from the genuine Richard Mille without making bank balance drastically.


1870 Indian head penny value continues the run of early years and higher valued coins of the series. Your coin is a scarce date to find and needed by many collectors.
Compared to other years a relatively small number of these 1870 pennies are around today. Normally available in worn condition collectors examine each one carefully judging its condition. These circulated examples range from heavy to light wear and determining the extent of wear leads to an accurate value.
Highest valued are "uncirculated" condition coins. An 1870 penny protected from wear and abrasions is a very rare coin. Remarkably, a few of these are as bright and lustrous as when minted and like the one pictured worth $500 and higher.
Very important with these old Indian pennies is the condition. Finding a readable "Liberty" in the headband is a small detail but places your coin in above average condition. Indian penny collectors are looking for these scarce traits and pay a premium when found.
Pull this Indian penny out of your box of old coins and at first glance it may appear as all the rest. The color is similar to the others, the date however is the first indication you have something special. Looking closer the amount of detail is also separating it from the rest. This 1870 penny is showing promise, as both a scarce date and in nice condition and possibly high value.
Turning to the reverse it begins to reveal more about its condition and the true value of the coin. Original mint luster is still clinging to the small protected areas among the leaves. Under a magnifying glass the final judgment is made when it's discovered the coin never circulated. No wear is evident to the surfaces and now this old penny is accurately graded as "uncirculated."
Indian pennies seldom seen in top quality, uncirculated condition are keenly sought by collectors. Offered at a David Lawrence rare coin auction, bidding put the value of this 1870 penny at $598. The consignor, by having the true condition of the coin revealed, saw it reach its highest value.
With 1870 Indian head penny value rising quickly for better condition coins, accurate "grading" separates a coin worth a few dollars from the hundred dollar penny. Match your coin to the images and grading descriptions.
Good: If a coin has received extensive wear it is referred to as "good" condition. As your scan travels around the rim, it is important all lettering is visible. Although the portrait is very worn the bold design is clearly separate of the surface. Few details of the headdress remain, feathers are just an outline and the headband is obscured. Her facial features are very faint, the eye does have some depth and the cheek is faintly separated from her neck. If a small amount of roundness is visible to her face your 1870 Indian head penny value is slightly higher.
A very popular coin, everyone understands and has heard of the value of an Indian Head penny. Common dates are now worth $1 each. Many collectors are building collections and putting a heavy demand on not only your 1870 penny but also the very rare dates and better condition coins. Compare your coins to the values chart.

Seven further reasons Rick Ross should get more sleep
Ross, you wouldn't water board yourself, so don't deprive yourself of sleep. Because of the extreme disorientation and drastically impaired judgement caused by interrupted rest, sleep deprivation has been used extensively as a torture-lite interrogation technique. Menachem Begin, a future prime minister of Israel, described his experiences of sleep deprivation under the Russian secret police thus: "In the head of the interrogated prisoner, a haze begins to form. His spirit is wearied to death, his legs are unsteady, and he has one sole desire: to sleep… Anyone who has experienced this desire knows that not even hunger and thirst are comparable with it."
Not to put too fine a point on it, Rozzy, but another thing that sleep deprivation plays havoc with is weight, leading to either a loss of appetite and ultimate starvation in rats, or an increase of appetite and obesity in Americans. Studies have shown rats lose weight the less they are allowed to sleep, because, in a tired body, the amount of energy expended on eating is greater than the calories gained. On the flip side, one hypothesised reason for the weight boom of recent years in America has been a sharp decline in average sleeping hours, with tiredness affecting the production of hormones that affect appetite and glucose production.
Rick Ross, like politicians and bankers, boasts happily of 20+ hour days, but recent studies, quoted in the Financial Times have pointed out the disastrous effects of sleep deprivation on our moral capabilities. Too tired to consider the consequences of your actions, your ethical judgements are severally impaired, patience and alertness goes out of the window. As anyone who has experience the super-odd "something out of the corner of our eye" effect of a sleepless night, full-blown hallunicatory psychosis is a frighteningly common effect of even minor sleep deprivation. After 17 hours awake, you are effectively drunk – a 2000 study found out that drivers who had not slept for as little as 17-19 hours had the worse affects than someone with .05 blood-alcohol rate, the legal limit. Andrew Marr recently spoke about the link between these effects and the macho work culture of the major players around the credit crunch, pointing out that the greatest financial disaster of our time may well have been administered by hallucinating drunks whose moral sense was shut off.
Not to mention the war, but as a neat counter-point to the macho sleep culture of today, Winston Churchill was famously fastidious in his wind-down, taking an hour to read before sleeping a full six hours a night, even at the height of the Blitz, while Hitler suffered from insomnia and delayed sleep syndrome, with his chief of staff reporting that by the end of the war, his sleep was so bad that he had "lost his mental flexibility and imagination." Rozzy should take a leaf out of Churchill's book, really.
Though a night spent tossing and turning leads most to a miserable day, rather counter-intuitively, sleep deprivation has been shown to help treat depression. One suggested reason is the larks / owls divide: people with depression have different circadian rhythms to those without depression, meaning that mild sleep deprivation is closer to their natural state. However, for those without depression, sleep deprivation will only make us sadder. Ross, a man who has written such songs as We Shinin', Billionaire, I'ma Boss and Money Makes Me Come does not strike this writer as particularly depressed.
The phenomenon of micro-sleeps is what may have had it in for Rick Ross. If deprived of down-time, the human brain will resort to automatic shutdowns, resulting in the super-weird few seconds of shut-eye, of which the micro-sleeper is completely oblivious. Microsleeps are a major cause of transport accidents, in particular the Waterfall rail disaster, in which a guard micro-slept and the train was derailed.

THE CRITICAL DEBATES
IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
From talk radio, to television, to podcasts and to Twitter, we want students to understand not just the debates but the critiques, the spins and the patterns. We want to support teachers in developing critical thinking and news literacy in students — two things that will serve them throughout their lives and help them to be part of our democracy. This curriculum is designed to foster media literacy, by highlighting the most significant moments in televised presidential debates.
1960: Kennedy vs. Nixon
1960 - 1976: The Gap Years
1976: Carter vs. Ford
1980 - 1984: Ronald Reagan
1988: Bush vs. Dukakis
1992: Clinton vs. Bush vs. Perot
2000: Bush vs. Gore
2012: Obama vs. Romney
2016: Trump vs. Clinton
By Andrea Stone
The three presidential debates between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush in 2000 are best remembered more for what wasn't said than for what was.
Gore was slightly ahead in the polls going into the first debate on October 3 in Boston. The Democrat, who had served on Capitol Hill and in President Bill Clinton's White House, was widely seen as more experienced on domestic and foreign affairs issues than his Republican opponent. Expectations for Bush, whose political resume was short, were low. But body language, not policy expertise, would carry the day.
In the first debate, Bush delivered one of his best zingers about his rival: "I'm beginning to think not only did he invent the internet,[1] but he invented the calculator. It's fuzzy math."
As he spoke, though, the TV split screen caught an apparently bored Gore sighing, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. Viewers at home interpreted his reaction as smug and disrespectful. His verbal performance was hardly better as the vice president came off as too wonky, saying seven times that he would put Social Security and Medicare in a "lockbox." Gore's campaign staff members were so concerned about the impression he left that they "made him watch a tape to see how he was coming off."[2]
"Saturday Night Live"[3] certainly noticed, parodying the debates on three consecutive weekends. Will Ferrell depicted Bush as simple-minded and confused, with a tendency toward malapropisms such as the comedian's famously coined "strategery." Darrell Hammond's Gore was nerdy, stiff and prone to repeating what soon became a punchline, "lockbox."
On the day of the third debate, October 17, a brewing company released a lighthearted poll that found voters would rather have a beer with Bush than Gore, a measure of likability reflected in more serious gauges of public opinion.[4]
Gore did little to reverse that sentiment in the town-hall style debate in St. Louis when he walked up to Bush and lurked uncomfortably close[5] as he spoke. Bush smirked and gave him a quick nod, sparking audience laughter.
Gore's non-verbal behavior was "devastating," to the Democrat, said Princeton political historian Julian Zelizer. Such crystallizing moments "create and cement certain images that voters have."[6]
Although Gore would wind up winning more popular votes, it was the Supreme Court's historic decision[7] and the Electoral College that ultimately decided the outcome in Bush's favor.

10 lost Tunbridge Wells pubs we can no longer enjoy a pint at
How many of these former boozers can you remember?
The Greyhound caught alight in June 2003
Stay up to date with all the Dover news with our weekly email, as well as getting all the latest breaking news delivered directly to your inbox
After previously outlining 10 former pubs of Dover, Folkestone and Ramsgate, Tunbridge Wells is the next Kent town to get the microscope treatment when it comes to lost drinking establishments.
Many of these have long and detailed histories, helped by the Dover-Kent website, and hopefully these will bring back plenty of memories.
It may have been a weekly catch up with fellow locals or perhaps they hosted a darts or pool tournament that you competed in, we're keen to hear your personal recollections.
Read more: 10 Ramsgate pubs we've loved and lost over the years
Let us know in the comments section below if we've missed off your dearest lost local which you'd love to have a final pint in.
The Greyhound
On 131 Upper Grosvenor Road, the Greyhound was the victim of a fire in June 2003, destroying stock and personal contents inside.
Investigators found that six drums had been ignited in the pub and was treated as arson, although no one was ever brought to justice.
Following a period of being boarded up, the site became one of the town's most notorious eyesores and even became an unofficial car lot at one point.
However, it's now a much more welcome sight in the form of houses and flats.
Bristol Arms
The former Bristol Arms pub, now the Guinea (Image: Google Maps)
Found on Calverley Road, just outside the town centre, was the Bristol Arms.
It was used as a watering hole by many well known acts who appeared at the Assembly Hall with one previous visitor recalling seeing Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen there around 1971.
It since became the Guinea Butt and was more recently taken over and rebranded as gastro pub the Guinea.
The Crystal Palace pub (Image: Google Maps)
A town centre pub in Tunbridge Wells came in the form of the Crystal Palace.
Its 2014 closure came as little surprise following a string of violence outbreaks, in fact the landlord was jailed around that time after glassing a man in the face.
It has remained boarded up ever since, despite plans to replace the site with a three-storey building with three underground parking spaces.
Hole In The Wall can be seen on the left of this photo
One that drinkers in the '60s, '70s and '80s may recall and miss visiting in the town was the Hole In The Wall.
It was a popular boozer on the High Street and was a tobacco shop (known as 'Allman's') with an exclusive bar at the back, which at first was not signposted outside.
Despite being rather exclusive early on, it was later sold and completely revamped - the shop went and the whole ground floor was opened up, leading to it opening further to the public.
It went somewhat downhill and closed in the late 1980s, since becoming many things, from a card shop to a tea room to a children's clothes store.
The Kelsey Arms
The Kelsey Arms before it became a Tesco Express (Image: Google Maps)
The Kelsey Arms was a 19th Century town house pub with a large open plan containing a wooden panelled interior.
It was popular with locals while darts and pool leagues were a big feature at the left of the main bar.
They also used to serve popular Sunday roasts before closing in 2012, becoming a Tesco Express.
Times Tavern
Closing before many locals could experience a pint within, the Times Tavern was located on the north-east corner of Grosvenor Road and Basinghall Lane.
Dating back to at least 1864, this was a popular part of town to station a pub with many boozers once found in the area.
The pub sign depicted the grim reaper holding an hourglass, inferring the 'Time' aspect of its name.
This particular tavern also served as a meeting place for various organisations, notably the Tendon and Provincial Yearly Dividing Friendly Society.
However, as with many other buildings in this area, it was forced to make way for the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre which opened in 1992.
Litten Tree
The Litten Tree became a British Heart Foundation shop (Image: Google Maps)
Situated on Grosvenor Road, on the corner of Rock Villa Road, was the now-departed Litten Tree.
The site actually stood as a Courts furniture store for many years before its controversial conversion into a 400-capacity super pub at Christmas 2000.
Opposition arose from locals regarding possible noise and late-night disturbance, but that didn't stop it being a popular venue during its brief stint as a public house.
It ultimately closed in 2005 and stood empty until September 2008 when it opened as a British Heart Foundation Furniture and Electrical shop.
Major Yorke
The former Major Yorke pub
The Major Yorke was on Langdon Road, near the roundabout that joins onto Major York's Road.
The 16th century coaching inn was originally known as the Brokers Arms before its change of name.
It became famous for its traditional ales and was under the ownership of the Spa Hotel situated opposite.
It was named after Major Martin Yorke who bought the Spa Hotel in 1772, after making his fortune with the East India Company.
After an initial closure, it reopened in 2002 but subsequently closed again and has remained empty for some years.
Windmill Tavern
Former Windmill Tavern in Tunbridge Wells
On 32 North Street, the Windmill Tavern could once be frequented by locals.
Having been there from at least the beginning of the 20th century, it was named from it being in what was known as Windmill Fields, where a windmill once operated.
Those who visited this tavern referred to it being "tucked away in an obscure location on North Street" and "not surprising that this very local local could not make ends meet."
It closed in 2001 when it was converted into flats.
Alma Tavern
The Alma Tavern was located at 7 Varney Street, down a side street off Calverley Road.
It was one of many other English pubs and buildings to derive their name from The Battle of Alma of September 20, 1854 during the Crimean War.
Noted as being somewhat of a rough place, it was demolished in the early 1980s with the land along Varney Street eventually swallowed up by the construction of the Royal Victoria Place.

Q: How to unload a script when a button is clicked? So on my website, I integrated a plugin called manychat. This is implemented by a <script>;
When I click on the Drawer Cart this manychat symbol overlays over the checkout button, which doesn't look nice.
So when I click the "cart" button it should unload this script. With the next action, it should then be loaded again.
Is this possible?
I am using Shopify
<script src="//widget.manychat.com/1541935499435047.js" async="async"></script>

A: You can't unload a script once loaded. You can, however, dig deep in to the script and cancel out the global variables it create - and undo what it does to your DOM such as any event listeners it might have registered.

Back in the summer when I worked in Central, my lunch would always be above my budget. I was quite sick of take out and I wanted to try a decent priced and quality French restaurant in Hong Kong with a friend. My colleagues recommended La Marmite by Aqua Restaurant Group for their lunch menu so I booked a table and gave it a go. Just a heads up, the owner of La Marmite is French so this is legit French food in Hong Kong.
Their set lunch menu is at HKD98 for two plates and HKD118 for three and since I usually don't eat a lot for lunch I just went for the two plates. Before the appetizer came the server served us a hot baguette with an absolutely amazing spreadthat I would gladly purchase if they sold it. I'm not sure what the spread was but my friend and I just kept going at it and we were half full by the time our meal arrived.
Starting off with the extremely creamy cream of pumpkin soup that I couldn't finish because I had too much baguette. The soup was thick and extremely rich in pumpkin flavour.
I was almost done after the soup and then the roast duck breast with potato scallops came (uh oh). The duck was juicy, tender and light so adding the potato scallops was a perfect addition to leave me just about full after I was done.

Bainbridge pool molestation
bainbridge-conversation
A 44-year-old Bainbridge man allegedly molested a young girl in a bathroom at the Bainbridge Aquatic Center last week. Prosecutors are seeking a minimum sentence of 25 years. Read police and legal affairs reporter Josh Farley's report below.
New 'Predatory' Sentence Possible in Bainbridge Pool Molestation
By Josh Farley
Utilizing a new law, Kitsap County Prosecutors Wednesday filed enhanced molestation charges against a Bainbridge man who allegedly followed a young girl he didn't know into a bathroom at the island's aquatic center, according to documents filed in Kitsap County Superior Court.
If convicted of the charges, Michael J. Gaffney, 44, faces a 25-year minimum sentence. It would be the first time Kitsap County Prosecutors have filed such charges under the law, passed by the State Legislature in 2006.
Arrested by Bainbridge Island Police Tuesday, Gaffney remains in the Kitsap County jail on $100,000 bail.
Detectives' reports say the girl, who is under five years old, went into a bathroom near the center's lobby March 26. According to a probable cause statement, the 44-year-old followed her in, where he took her bathing suit off and observed her using the restroom.
The girl's mother, who was at the facility's front counter, thought her daughter had been in the bathroom too long. She walked into the bathroom and encountered a man, later identified as Gaffney, standing near a paper towel dispenser. When she confronted him about why he was in the bathroom, the man "froze" and quickly left, reports said.
A tip to detectives identified Gaffney as a possible suspect. Following his arrest Tuesday, the 44-year-old was interviewed and admitted he had followed her into the bathroom and removed her bathing suit.
Kelly Montgomery, deputy prosecutor who charged the case, said a records check at the prosecutor's office showed Gaffney's case to be the first Kitsap County had filed under the new law. The enhanced penalty requires that the defendant committed the crime "under predatory circumstances," that the victim is a stranger under 15 years of age, and that the contact was for sexual purposes, Montgomery said.
Jamie Whitney, manager of the aquatic center, said staff "do everything we can to make sure this pool is a safe place," and that life guards and employees are always walking the facility and on alert.
"They're always watching out for everyone's safety," she said, adding that cameras — including one that allegedly spotted Gaffney going into the restroom — are there to be an extra layer of security.
Mark Duncan, Bainbridge Island's interim police chief, said the arrest can serve as a wake up call.
"We all need to be aware that there are people inside our communities that we shouldn't trust," he said.

Last time we learned most of the tricks needed to assemble a co-design diagram from the smaller boxes inside:
Remember, we're really building a feasibility relation out of other feasibility relations. Each smaller box is a feasibility relation. If we don't inquire into exactly what feasibility relations these particular boxes stand for, just how they're assembled, there's just one question left to discuss. What happens when a wire _bends back?_
Intuitively, this describes 'feedback'. For example, I may take some bread, toast it, sell it, make money, and use that to buy more bread. Here I'm stringing together a number of processes, each one producing the resources needed for the next... until finally the last one produces some resources needed for the first!
It's not obvious how to describe feedback using just **composition**, which takes two feasibility relations \\(\Phi \colon X \nrightarrow Y\\) and \\(\Psi \colon Y \nrightarrow Z\\) and puts one after the other:
and **tensoring**, which takes two feasibility relations \\(\Phi \colon X \nrightarrow Y\\) and \\(\Psi \colon X' \nrightarrow Y'\\) and puts them side by side:
Using these we can build co-design diagrams like this:
But we cannot get wires that bend back! For that we need two extra feasibility relations. The first is called the cup:
It looks like a wire coming in labelled \\(X\\), bending around and going back out to the left. In co-design diagrams, labels of wires stand for preorders. The wire coming in stands for a preorder \\(X\\) as usual. But what about the wire going back out? This stands for \\(X^{\text{op}}\\): the same set with the opposite concept of \\(\le\\).
This is a a rule we haven't discussed yet. A wire going from left to right, labelled by some preorder, stands for that preorder. But a wire going right to left, labelled by some preorder stands for the _opposite_ of that preorder.
But how do we tell if wire are going from left to right or the other way? One way is to draw arrows on them, as I've done just now. Fong and Spivak often use a different notation: a wire going from left to right is labelled \\(\le\\), while one going the other way is labelled \\(\ge\\). This will turn out to make a lot of sense.
Anyway, it looks like our cup stands for a feasibility relation from \\(X^{\text{op}} \times X \\) to... _nothing!_ But what's 'nothing'?
That's another rule I haven't told you. 'Nothing' - the invisible wire - is our symbol for the preorder \\(\textbf{1}\\). This is the set \\( \\{0\\} \\) made into a preorder in the only way possible, with \\(0 \le 0\\).
So, our cup stands for some particular feasibility relation
\[ \cup_X \colon X^{\text{op}} \times X \nrightarrow \textbf{1} . \]
Which one? We can guess if remember that such a feasibility relation is really a monotone function
\[ \cup_X \colon (X^{\text{op}} \times X)^\text{op} \times \textbf{1} \to \mathbf{Bool} .\]
We can simplify this a bit:
**Puzzle 213.** Show that for any preorder \\(A\\), the preorder
\\( A \times \textbf{1}\\) is **isomorphic** to \\(A\\):: in other words, there is a monotone function from \\( A \times \textbf{1}\\) to \\(A\\) with a monotone inverse. For short we write \\(A \times \textbf{1} \cong A\\). (This is one way in which \\(\textbf{1}\\) acts like 'nothing'.)
**Puzzle 214.** Show that for any preorders \\(A\\) and \\(B\\) we have \\( (A \times B)^{\text{op}} \cong A^{\text{op}} \times B^{\text{op}}\\).
**Puzzle 215.** Show that for any preorder \\(A\\) we have \\( (A^{\text{op}})^{\text{op}} \cong A\\).
So, we get
\[ (X^{\text{op}} \times X)^\text{op} \times \textbf{1} \cong (X^{\text{op}} \times X)^\text{op} \cong
(X^{\text{op}})^\text{op} \times X^\text{op} \cong X \times X^\text{op} \]
Replacing the fancy expression at left by the simpler but isomorphic expression at right, we can reinterpret the cup more simply as a monotone function
\[ \cup_X \colon X \times X^{\text{op}} \to \textbf{Bool} . \]
What could this be? It should remind you of our old friend the hom-functor
\[ \text{hom} \colon X^{\text{op}} \times X \to \textbf{Bool} .\]
And that's what it is - just twisted around a bit! In other words, we define
\[ \cup_X (x,x') = \text{hom}(x',x) . \]
If you forget your old friend the hom-functor, this just means that
\[ \cup_X (x,x') =
\texttt{true} & \mbox{if } x' \le x \\\\
\texttt{false} & \mbox{otherwise.}
Whew! It's simple in the end: it just says that when send a resource round a bend, what comes out must be less than or equal to what came in. The little inequality symbols on this picture are designed to make that easier to remember:
One more thing: to describe feedback we also need a feasibility relation called the **cap**, which looks like this:
This is some feasibility relation from 'nothing' to \\( X \times X^{\text{op}}\\), or more precisely
\[ \cap_X \colon \textbf{1} \nrightarrow X \times X^{\text{op}} .\]
**Puzzle 216.** Rewrite this feasibility relation as a monotone function and simplify it just as we did for the cup. Then, guess what it is!
The cap winds up being just as simple as the cup. We can discuss this and work it out... and next time I'll show you how to use the cap and cup to describe feedback.
By the way, this stuff we're doing was first invented in particle physics. Feynman invented diagrams that describe the interaction between particles... and he realized that an antiparticle could be understood as a particle going 'backwards in time', so he drew little arrows to indicate whether the edges in his diagrams were going forwards or backwards in time. The cup describes the annihilation of a particle-antiparticle pair, and the cap describes the creation of such a pair.
Only much later did people realize that the preorder \\(X^{\text{op}}\\) is mathematically like the 'antiparticle' of \\(X\\).

Version 2.1.8p2


Carbon-14 (14C), a radioactive isotope of carbon (half-life 5570 years, max β- energy 160 keV), is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere through the reaction of neutrons from cosmic rays with nitrogen (14N n,p 14C). The 14C rapidly oxidises to form 14CO2 and, as such, lies at the head of the food chain for all living organisms. The level of 14C in atmospheric CO2 has remained essentially constant over ancient times but with certain perturbations due to variations in the cosmic ray output from the sun. An additional major variation occurred in the 1950s and 1960s when a large input of 14C and tritium was made into the atmosphere during the atmospheric nuclear weapons trials, with the level of 14C in the Northern hemisphere rising to nearly twice its normal level in 1963/4.
Three methods are currently offered by RCD for carbon-14 measurement, benzene synthesis, direct absorption and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). AMS is the preferred method for samples with low carbon content, i.e. below 0.5g carbon. Full processing is carried out at RCD in the first two methods whereas the smaller samples, which require the third method, are processed to CO2 then sent to the AMS laboratory for measurement.
Benzene synthesis - combustion/acidification of the sample to CO2 followed by conversion to benzene through the stages of lithium carbide and C2H2. Liquid scintillation counting of the benzene sample in an optimised low level liquid scintillation counter, e.g. Wallac Quantulus, to achieve an overall precision of ± 1% (ie ± 2.5 Bq/kg carbon). Sample size required 1g to 4g elemental carbon.
Direct absorption - combustion/acidification of the sample to CO2 followed by absorption of the CO2 in a suitable scintillant for immediate liquid scintillation counting. Precision of the measurement is between 5% and 10% (ie ± 12.5 to ± 25 Bq/kg carbon). Sample size required 0.5g to 1g carbon.
Accelerator mass spectrometry - combustion/acidification of the sample to CO2 (at RCD) followed by conversion of the sample to graphite at an accelerator laboratory and measurement of the 14C content. Precision of the method is better than ± 1% (± 2.5 Bq/kg carbon) and the sample size required is 5mg to 10mg carbon.
The main difference between the methods is the size of sample required for measurement, but the second technique, direct absorption, offers considerably lower precision than the other two and is, therefore, generally only of use in situations where the question is simply whether a sample is ancient (0% 'modern') or modern (> 100% 'modern') but not where finer detail is necessary to help unravel mixtures of sources or provide an actual age.
The technique for dating once living material containing carbon was proposed by W.F. Libby and first tested in 1948. Its basis is that all carbon life forms assimilate the radioactive isotope of carbon, carbon-14, whilst alive but that after death the amount accumulated in the organism decays away at the rate consistent with the 14C half-life - originally thought to be 5568 years, now corrected to 5730 years.
In theory therefore, the age of a sample can be determined from a measurement of the 14C remaining in the ancient sample. In practise this residual measured value requires further correction (calibration) to convert the apparent age to an actual calendar date.
Suitable materials for carbon dating include: wood, charcoal, ivory, straw, hair etc.
For samples which can yield between 1g and 4g of carbon (eg ~15g wood taken from a house timber or 5-10g charcoal from an archaeological site) the dating procedure via benzene synthesis can be carried out in-house by RCD. The process usually takes 4-6 weeks to complete (Please phone to discuss any contemplated dating project with RCD before commencing any sample taking).
For samples yielding significantly smaller amounts of carbon (eg hydrological samples or art history treasures) please refer to the requirements given in Carbon Dating For Art History.
Modern landfill sites containing organic waste produce landfill gases (including CH4) which carry the 14C levels appropriate to the time the material was living. If the waste contains a high proportion of recent organic material, eg garden waste, then a clearly measurable difference exists between CH4 originating from decomposition of matter in the landfill and CH4 from coal measures or oil products which do not contain 14C.

Thanks a lot Alex. Last year at the annual Betbeze Beach vacation, Alex asked me if I had played "mad birds". I got the demo and about three minutes later I was hooked.
In case you're counting, I've purchased four different versions of the game.
I'm on a quest to get three stars on every level and all of those golden eggs and stars.
Give it a listen, it's awesome. The music in the Seasons game is good too.
I would definitely say that you're obsessed.
Imagine how great this world would be if we could focus your obsession to something that helps me…perhaps our joint venture iPhone app maybe!!!

Q: Using Wiremock standalone, how can I define default headers? I have a setup where I run Wiremock standalone (as a Docker container, if that matters), with mappings defined in JSON files.
Is there a way to specify certain headers that will be applied to all responses? Specifically, I want all responses to have Content-Type: application/json, without having to repeat it in each mapping.
