From the Wire: Reviews from a Ten-Year-Old Film Critic
@mattsinger
Reviewing kids movies is a tough assignment for a critic. What does a 40-year-old know about the adventures of a magical talking dolphin and his wacky camel sidekick? A film might look horrible to me and fantastic to a child. But if it was designed for kids, and kids enjoy it, who am I to say it's bad?
If you're looking for a child's perspective on recent movies, you might want to check out the reviews of one Miranda Clarke, who's been a contributor to CinemaNerdz since last summer. She was just nine when she wrote her first article about "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer" ("One of my favorite parts of the film is when Mouse, Judy Moody's cat, works the Magic 8 Ball. I think it was a great way to show how talented cats can be.") Now ten, she's got a new piece on the stop-motion animated cartoon "ParaNorman."
"I think 'ParaNorman' is a movie about life. Norman changed the world in his own way. Even if you don't have everything you can change the world too, in your own way. You should see 'ParaNorman.' It's funny, it's crazy, and it's out there. This movie is like no other movie I've seen. It's really good."

Most critics include star or numerical ratings in their reviews, and Clarke is no exception, awarding a perfect "five out of five" to most of the movies she sees, including "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," "Ice Age: Continental Drift," and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked." The one notable exception is Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin," which she gave just two and a half stars.
"The Tintin character is kind of annoying because he takes so long to do a simple thing. Like when Tintin was just staring at a clue for two minutes. He always wants to try to solve the case. Tintin irritates me because he is kind of boring and talks way too much."
Brutal. But not as brutal as professional (grown-up) New York Times film critic A.O. Scott's review of the new kids movie "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure," which is written from the perspective of Stella, a seven-year-old girl he brought to the press screening. You might say Scott was channelling his inner Miranda Clarke with Stella, or maybe his inner Howard Beale, since he was clearly none-too-pleased to have endured the Oogieloves in their big-screen debut.
"There's 3 Oogieloves. The girl is Zoozie. The smart one is Goobie and the one with pants that fall down is Toofie. When his pants fall down your sposed to go "Goofy Toofie Pick up Your Pants." It happins 4 times. When the butterflies come on the screen your sposed to stand up and sing the song, then sit down when the turtles come, but a lot of kids dint sit down and the grown-ups dint stand up because they were texting. Hallie's dad texted Shoot Me Now and that was silly because why would you text someone to shoot you. There is no shooting in this movie."
Stella's funny, but I like the real thing better. My advice to Miranda: keep up the good work. You're a much better critic than I was at your age; if I was a parent, I'd definitely read your reviews before deciding whether to take my kids to the theater. Make sure you're getting paid fairly — a good critic doesn't write for free. Also, I can't wait to read your review of "Holy Motors." Oh, and if anyone out there would like to read my treatment for the future children's classic "Porpy the Magical Talking Dolphin" they can write to me at wackycamel@gmail.com. Thanks.

This case study offers an in-depth investigation of the organizational identity construct (Albert and Whetten, 1985) from a shared mental model perspective. Specifically, the study explored the links between shared identity and members' coordination and communication behaviors in a microbrewery. Using six semi-structured interviews, five dimensions defining the character of the studied organization were elicited: quality producer, influence of the founder, involvement in the local community and social events, geographic attachment, and family/team. Building upon those findings, quantitative survey data were obtained from 35 organizational members in different departments to test the relationships at the dyadic level between shared perceived organizational identity and perceptions of coordination and communication behaviors. Departmental affiliation was also tested for moderating effects. The findings suggest some evidence of associations between members' agreement in dyads about organizational identity and their perceptions of group processes. The moderating role of departmental membership was not supported. Theoretical and practical implications of the study's results are discussed. Recommendations for future research are also proposed in light of the study's limitations.

Q: Bootstrap table with no padding/margin? I have this table:

      Input

  </thead

      <input type="text" />

I use Bootstrap as my framework and it looks like this:

How can i stretch the input width & height to fit table cell?
I'm using CSS on input: width: 100%
I've tried CSS on td: padding: 0; margin: 0;

A: Add padding:0 to td. Place your style sheet below bootstrap.css. so !important is not required. if you use css in inline then !important is required. .form-control class is used to make input width 100% of the cell.

td{padding:0px !important}
.form-control{border-radius:0px !important;}
<link href="http://getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

      Input

  </thead

      <input type="text" class="form-control" />

A: As @Araz comment:
tr td{
  padding: 0 !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
}

A: To remove table gaps and margin, add this to your css file
table {
   border-spacing: 0px;
}

'The Avengers' made $200 million this weekend. Yeah, that's a record.
By Jen Chaney

"The Avengers" : Saving humanity and pocketing a ton of cash. (Marvel Studios via Reuters)
Even the least savvy box-office prognosticator on planet Earth could have predicted that "The Avengers" — Joss Whedon's testament to the power of superheroic teamwork — was going to win this weekend's box-office race. And it did. But the degree to which it triumphed is more staggering than some may have anticipated.
Since opening Thursday at midnight, "The Avengers" has earned a jaw-dropping $200.3 million in North America, according to studio estimates, making it the biggest movie debut of all time without adjusting for inflation. That breaks the record held previously and briefly, it turns out, by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," which opened last year with an intake north of $168 million.
Hulk smash? Uh, yeah. This qualifies as a Hulk smash, to say the least.
Here are a few other numerical facts about "The Avengers" and its mind-bogglingly successful box-office performance.
— According to this handy chart on Box Office Mojo's Web site, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, et al sold 25.6 million tickets over the weekend. Clearly the more expensive 3-D and Imax screenings may have contributed to its overall revenue; according to the L.A. Times, 52% of moviegoers opted to see "The Avengers" in 3-D. But that's still an awful lot of tickets sold in three days.
— Thanks to a strong performance overseas before rolling out in U.S. and Canadian multiplexes, "The Avengers" has already amassed an overall gross of $641.8 million.
— Fun fact: If you combine the opening weekend revenues for last summer's two "Avengers"-related films, "Thor" ($65.7 million) and "Captain America" (also $65 million), you get only $130.7 million. This is further evidence that when multiple Marvel superheroes combine forces, they can not only achieve swift justice but also a much stronger immediate cash flow.
— In case you were wondering, half of the people who went to see "The Avengers" were younger than 25 and 60 percent of them were male, again, according to the Los Angeles Times. So it scored a direct hit on that summer-season season sweet spot: the young fanboy demographic.
— One of the most gratifying takeaways from all this is that it could mean very good things for Joss Whedon. Needless to say, this is the most lucrative film project the "Buffy" creator has ever been involved in, which should amplify his clout and his ability to get projects greenlighted in the future.
— From the department of stating the obvious: "The Avengers" has just set a daunting box office bar that "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight Rises" can only attempt to cross this summer.
Oh, by the way, some other movies made money at the box office this weekend, though not nearly as much. I mean, not even close. But here's a list of the top five anyway.
1. "The Avengers" — $200.3 million
2. "Think Like a Man" — $8 million
3. "The Hunger Games" — $5.7 million
4. "The Lucky One" — $5.5 million
5. "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" — $5.4 million

French-Vietnamese astronomer dies of Covid-19
Renowned French-Vietnamese astronomer Professor Nguyen Quang Rieu, 89, died of Covid-19 in Paris on Tuesday.
The General Union of Vietnamese in France confirmed the news on Wednesday, and Rieu's funeral was held privately in compliance with pandemic prevention regulations.
Rieu was born in Hai Phong in northern Vietnam and went to France at the age of 18 to study at Sorbonne University.
He obtained a doctorate and tenure as a professor at Sorbonne, and went on to become research director of the Paris Observatory.
He was research director emeritus at The French National Center for Scientific Research, one of the world's leading research institutions.
In 1973 he was granted an award by the French Academy of Sciences for detecting and locating the explosion in the Cygnus constellation (Cygnus X3).
He published over 150 papers in astrophysics in renowned journals.
He had the reputation of enthusiastically supporting young Vietnamese astronomers until his death.

I hope everyone in the South that's feeling the effects of this heat wave are staying safe and hydrated. It's times like this that I worry about Mr. SB, he has the kind of job that keeps him out in the heat for most of the day and as a nurse I get to see what happens to folks that get overheated(that's never a fun thing).
The heat would be all right if we didn't have this blanket of humidity to go with. When I think about summer I think about going to the beach, growing up I spent quite a lot of time at the beach picking up shells and sunbathing!
I still love the beach and I try to get my toes in the sand as much as possible, but when I'm not able to, I like to decorate the house to remind me of all the natural beauty the beach has to offer!
This is a photo of the foyer and how it looked for spring.
And this is how it looks for the summer all decked out with driftwood and shells, (some I collected from my many visits) as well as others that I purchased(like the starfish).
I added a lantern and the burlap runner for the neutral touch and I placed the large conch shell(which is all the way from the Bahamas) on top the books. I decided to keep the pineapple lamp.
Hope this summer change up helps get your mind off the heat for a while. In the meantime he's a couple of pictures I took on a recent trip to the beach, now doesn't the water look so refreshing!
Inter coastal waterway Ocean Isle Beach.
Love your glass enclosures and your vignette is beautiful. Are they from Pottery Barn?

Gazelle Horns in Animal Jam - How to Get Them?!
In Animal Jam and Play Wild, it is possible to make an animal appear like another animal by wearing all kinds of different clothing items. If you ever wanted to look like an amazing gazelle, the Gazelle Horns definitely will do the trick. These colorful horns are quite rare, and can only be worn by members. Today, we are going to take a look at what these horns are all about.
The Gazelle Horns were first released during the Beta Testing of AJ. Once the game got out of Beta Testing, the horns went on clearance, and weren't seen in the shops for a while. In 2014, it made a comeback, until it went on clearance again on July 26, 2017. The horns returned for a third time, and have been available at Jam Mart Clothing since May 20, 2018.
The Gazelle Horns are quite similar to that of the antlers of an actual gazelle, at least in their form. They are spiral-shaped, and quite large. They always have a two-toned color in the game. There are a total of nine different color variants, which also includes a Rare Item Monday one. In the pictures below, you can see what the different variants of Gazelle Horns look like.
The Rare Item Monday Gazelle Horns were released back on March 20, 2013. They were only available for a day, so not many Jammers actually obtained one. The picture of the RIM version appears slightly different, but their shape and two-toned color scheme remains the same. You can see what the RIM version of these horns looks like in the picture below.
It is actually quite easy to get Gazelle Horns for yourself. However, it should be noted that these horns are a members-only items, which means you need a membership to wear them.
The cheapest way to get Gazelle Horns would be to go buy them yourself at Jam Mart Clothing. The horns are currently still sold here, and only cost 250 Gems. If you have enough Gems, you should probably buy a few of them, as they become quite rare when they go on clearance.
Once the horns go on clearance, the only way to get them would be by trading with others. In the beginning, they won't be as rare, but as time progresses, you will need to offer more and more to get the horns.
There are no codes available for these horns. If you know of any useful codes, leave a comment down below!


Voters want open primaries in the Golden State, but parties are fighting them in court.
They're strange bedfellows, even by California standards. Republicans and Democrats in the Golden State have stopped fighting for votes. Instead, they're fighting voters.
State party leaders have gone to court to block Proposition 198, a voter-approved initiative that would let Californians, regardless of party affiliation, vote for any candidate in primaries.
Supporters argue the measure would give voters a greater say in state politics, boost election turnouts, and dilute the influence of political activists - usually the more extreme wings of each party - and thus make the process more representative. But critics - including the Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian parties - believe it will undermine the party system, a hallmark of American democracy.
The California case is being closely watched across the country. Two states, Alaska and Washington, already hold open primaries. But such a move by California, the nation's unofficial bellwether, could change how the rest of the country chooses its leaders. The measure comes at a time when the primary system is under scrutiny at the presidential level as well, in part because of the influence small states like New Hampshire, and the moderate and liberal wings of the major parties, hold over elections.
"A lot of people argue that if voters say parties mean less and less, allowing people to vote for either party makes them even more meaningless," notes E.J. Dionne, a political commentator at the Washington-based Brookings Institution. "There are two options: One is to accept the critique and get rid of restrictions on primary voting, the other is to say no, parties should stand for something."
Passed last year with 60 percent of California's voters behind it, Prop. 198 would allow voters to back a variety of candidates on the primary slate. Under the previous system, voters were limited to choosing candidates from their own party.
The parties have filed suit on the grounds that Prop. 198 infringes on their First Amendment rights to freedom of association. It interferes with members' ability to choose their own nominees, they say, and creates opportunities for abuse.
Democrats offer an example from the 1996 presidential election to explain. Under an open primary system, Democrats could have crossed the floor to push Pat Buchanan to victory in the California Republican primary, casting their vote for the Republican they felt President Clinton could beat most easily. "It's a little like allowing your opponent to determine your lineup in a baseball game," says Art Torres, the state Democratic chairman.
IT'S an unrealistic scenario, counters Rep. Tom Campbell (R), who played a major role in getting Prop. 198 on the ballot. "Tell me how Democrats get Democrats to vote for Pat Buchanan," he asks. "Do they run ads for him saying he's a good Democrat? It's absolutely implausible."
Mr. Torres and others raise the possibility of more profound change, saying an open primary could fundamentally alter the party system. Candidates heading into a primary would have to adjust their stance to appeal to voters across the political spectrum, they say. "It would turn the political process into mush," Torres says. "The purpose of individual parties is to have a clear perspective of ideological candidacy."
But Torres and his allies might be hard-pressed to find sympathy. The votes on Prop. 198 indicate most Californians want change. And Secretary of State Bill Jones questions the parties' rejection of voters' wishes. "It's improper for the leaders of California's political parties to be in court trying to reverse the democratic result of a majority vote cast by the members of their own parties. California voters have the right to reform their government."
And despite Torres's claims that California is a unique political entity, lawyers for Secretary Jones dismissed many arguments against Prop. 198 by citing Washington and Alaska, where the United States Supreme Court has upheld open primary systems.
A decision is expected before the end of the year - just as ballots are being printed for state elections in June 1998.

Home Loetscher - Leaping Ibex Chalet Swiss Cuckoo Clock - Made in Switzerland
Loetscher - Leaping Ibex Chalet Swiss Cuckoo Clock - Made in Switzerland
by Loetscher
This marvelous chalet cuckoo clock pays tribute to the goat's wild cousin, the ibex, who prefers the more vertical, rugged terrain above the snow line. Male ibex are famous for their imposing, backward-curling horns. In the scene presented here, we see two male ibex facing each other. Are they going to lock horns? Quite the contrary. Upon hearing the happy sound of our cuckoo bird the ibex leap into the air gleefully.
Dimensions: 20 x 16cm - 8" x 6"
Movement: Mechanical Movement runs for one day before you need to wind up the chain.
Manufacturer: Loetscher
Figurines and Ornaments: The figurines are hand-carved and hand-painted, which makes each one of them original and unique.
Night feature: A manual switch that allows you to turn off the cuckoo without affecting the clock's movement.
Cuckoo: Every half hour
Free Shipping and VAT Included in Price
The Quality and Spirit of Switzerland
Loetscher clocks are a piece of Switzerland because of the materials within and because of the stories they tell.
Locally Sourced Swiss Materials and Craftsmen: The stones, the sand, and the
linden wood are sourced locally, from nearby Loetscher's home town of Brienz. Brienz is a cozy little Alpine village located right in the heart of Switzerland, sitting at the northern shore of the breathtakingly beautiful Lake Brienz. This peaceful, idyllic hamlet of just over 2,000 souls has developed a reputation over the centuries for its artisans in the woodworking industry. These gifted craftsmen and craftswomen are admired across the continent for consistently producing the highest quality woodworks. Not surprisingly, Brienz boasts a world-renowned woodcarving school.
Swiss Culture and Stories: The world-famous stories of Heidi the charming orphan and Barry the legendary rescue dog are intertwined with depictions of other Swiss culture, architecture, native wildlife, and traditions.
Loetscher built their first clock in 1920, and they're deeply gratified to say that the same loving care and craftsmanship that went into their first clock, still goes into every Loetscher cuckoo clock built today, making each one a truly timeless timepiece. Loetscher is also proud to say that they're the only genuine Swiss chalet cuckoo clock maker in existence today.
Loetscher operates two facilities in different parts of Switzerland that have specific
duties in the manufacturing of the clocks. All of the initial steps involved in building the clocks are done in the woodworking facility in Brienz, a small village in central Switzerland in the canton of Berne. Their woodworking artisans take wood that has been aged several years (to ensure it won't warp or crack in humid or dry environments) and hand-carve every chalet and all the figurines that adorn them. This initial process takes time, and it's the most costly way to build clocks, but it's what distinguishes Loetscher from the rest.
The finished clock bodies are then brought to their assembly plant in Kreuzlingen, by the lake of Constance, where the clockworks, music boxes and gears that enable the figurines to move are assembled and positioned into the clocks. And then finally, the weights and pendulums are added, completing the last steps of assembly.


Currently we maintain about 45 pools every week. Some of these pools are serviced by us for more than 10 years.

My Alzheimers Journey January 27, 2015 at 7:22am I had a great day out with my friend Linda yesterday. I made a gift for her over the week end. She was my assistant manager at the first job I ever had in 1985. I also worked with her at 2 other retail stores in later years. God knew what he was doing when He made us friends all those years ago. We grew up in the same church denomination. Her Mom had AD many years ago& when she saw about my Diagnosis & reached out to me. Here's a pic of us after our day out with her little gift. She was so surprised !
I wanted to break up my post into 2 parts because I know it's hard for my friends with dementia to read very long posts. I have started going on video chats with others that have dementia, I am learning so much from them but it can be a little scary at the same time. I see my future in them. They are all truly amazing people to share their lives with us. People that share their lives with us are very brave individuals. Because of their opening the windows to their lives & letting us look in we as new patients with the diagnosis see what we will face . We will also learn what we can do to make our lives better & live to the fullest with the time we have left. Older people seem to think it's something to be ashamed of & that it shouldn't be talked about. I know some people like that right now & they would not like for me to suggest that they should even see a neurologist. They live in the same house & both are a lot worse than me. As a matter of fact I am completely "normal" compared to what they are experiencing. I will go talk to them & share what I am doing to Prepare for what's ahead in the hopes that they will realize they need to" take care of business" as well. Otherwise I know they are going to be taken advantage of later. Sorry for so much posted today but I thought I better write while it's all coming to me. It doesn't happen very often. I 'll stop here & start my last one for the day.
Truthful Kindness Wonderful!!! Can I put it on a blog page so that it can be added to PWD Perspective "Best of Jan 2015" ?

Building muscle on a vegan diet: everything you need to know
Gaining muscle and strength on a plant-based diet might be a little harder, but it's still possible
If you're a vegan looking to bulk up, first consider these key points before delving deeper into your diet plan.
Plant-based diets are generally lower in protein and calories, two crucial components of a muscle-building meal plan. As a vegan, you have to eat a much larger quantity of food to get sufficient protein and calories in your diet.
Because plant-based foods are higher in fibre and water, they tend to make you feel fuller early on. For general health and weight loss, this may be an advantage. But if you're looking to pack on some serious mass, you'll need to make sure you scoff down enough calories.
That said, vegan diets tend to be carb-heavy and rich in many micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and nutrients). Carbs will help you build size by supplying your muscle cells with energy in the form of glycogen.
According to a set of guidelines published by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, vegans may need to supplement with certain items such as creatine, due to it mainly being a meat-based compound.
Despite the hoops vegans have to jump through, experts say "through the strategic selection and management of food choices, a vegan diet can achieve the needs of most athletes satisfactorily".
Let's look at the ins and outs of a plant-based diet in more depth, and how they correspond to muscle growth.
The best protein sources for vegans
Workout at home this Christmas with these five easy exercises
For a meat eater, that 20 and 40 grams of protein you need per meal is pretty simple to achieve. A chicken breast, beef steak or fish fillet usually contains a level of protein somewhere between those two figures.
Vegan meals can't rely on one single source of protein to hit that number. Unless you've got the time and appetite to sit there and eat kilos of peas.
Combining a number of vegan protein sources into one meal is the easiest way of going about getting your post-workout protein fix. The best plant-based sources include:
Nuts/Seeds
Plant-based omega 3s
Yes, oily fish is by far the best and most potent source of omega 3 fatty acids, crucial for brain function and fighting inflammation. But you can still find them in plant foods too.
The best sources are:
Flipping a 350 kilogram tyre with a top strongman
Many vegans supplement with Vitamin B12, as energy-boosting B vits are mainly found in meat. However, you can still find them in plant-based fortified foods.
Fortified foods are those which have had vitamins added. Cereals and plant milks are typically fortified with Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3.
Zinc, Iron and Calcium
No, Alan Johnson from Peep Show, the three amigos aren't "Word, Excel and PowerPoint". They are actually zinc, iron and calcium. Probably.
Anyway, these are all crucial for energy production. More energy equals lifting heavier weights for longer. And that spells growth.
Animal-derived protein is rich in zinc, iron and calcium, but in case you've gone vegan, these are the best plant sources to pick from:
Fortified Plant Milk
Green Veg (such as broccoli, kale and cauliflower)
Building muscle on a plant-based diet may take some getting used to. But it's possible.

This news bulletin is brought to you by the International Children's Palliative Care Network. Keeping you up to date and informed on issues related to children's palliative care from around the globe.
Monday 12 May is International Nurses Day. Nurses form the backbone of children's palliative care services in many countries and are always there to share the ups and downs of the journey with the children they care for and their families. An American nurse practitioner, Christine Bell, sums up the role of a nurse beautifully when she says: Our job as nurses is to cushion the sorrow and celebrate the joy every day, while we are 'just doing our jobs'.
ICPCN would like to take this opportunity to honour and acknowledge all those wonderful nurses who work in children's palliative care and thank them for their compassion, expertise and love.
ICPCN is proud to be a part of ehospice which has been shortlisted for the prestigious Charity Awards, recognising and rewarding those organisations doing exceptional work in all areas of charitable activity. The awards are an annual programme held in the UK which celebrate and highlight best practice across the voluntary sector.

The winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on 12 June.
A recent article in the Sunday Tribune, a South African weekly newspaper, takes a deeper look at the unbearable burden of care that led a South African mother living in London to kill her three children suffering with SMA and try to kill herself. The story highlights most poignantly the need for more and better palliative care services around the world.

A deep dive into my love of swimming
Credit: Glasgow University Swimming & Waterpolo Club via Facebook
Lisa Paul opens up about her passion for swimming and how she has coped without being in the pool.
For as long as I can remember swimming has been a part of my life. Unlike a lot of the other girls at my school who dreaded the compulsory biweekly swimming lesson, I recall feeling sick with excitement for it. As I grew into my teens, I wanted to take it more seriously. My dad (reluctantly) started to taxi me along to early morning training and competitions; I had become hooked. Not only because of the endorphins that would ensue from spending hours in the pool but because it had become a ritualistic escape from the stresses of daily life. I could just put my head in the water; focusing on placing one arm in front of the other, kicking, turning off the wall, and repeating until our coach bellowed the next set from the poolside.
When I came to university, I was unsure of what to expect. But the one thing I knew I would definitely do, come hell or high water, was join the Glasgow University Swimming and Water Polo Club (GUSWPC). On arrival, the club felt like a safety net; a familiarity that I welcomed with open arms. I didn't know how to reference a journal article or find my way around campus, let alone the rest of the city. I was having a difficult time coming to terms with being a small fish in a big pond. Although the location and coaches were new: swimming was something that I knew I could do. The club was far bigger than the one I had had at home, with understandably more talent. I was now swimming beside people that had gone to British Championships and played water polo at an international level. I was intimidated, but I settled in.
Through the club, I made friends: walking to training together, sharing long chats in the Stevenson building's steam room followed up with free pizza from Bank Street Bar. I was finally starting to feel a sense of belonging that I hadn't yet found on my course or through my halls of residence. I had ordered my own Glasgow University Sport branded sweatshirt with the leggings to match; eager to wear them throughout the second semester. But my eagerness was short-lived. By mid-March, coronavirus was spreading throughout the country and within the space of 24 hours, the University was closing its facilities and had cancelled all upcoming face-to-face teaching. I begrudgingly made my way home on the first available train.
To begin with, the cancellation of sport hadn't crossed my mind. Instead, I was absorbed in the initial excitement of the pandemic; arguably the most major international crisis of my life to date was unfolding, and I was watching it all escalate from the comfort of my parents' living room. But, once I had acclimatised to the new normal, I realised just how much I'd taken the sport for granted. I was growing irritable in the house, anxious to fill the void in my routine that was triggered by the pool's absence. Within a fortnight I had exhausted the few Les Mills home workouts that were on the internet for free, I ran when I could, and went for regular walks with my family to fill time. Although these activities helped to clear my thoughts, it wasn't the same as being in the water, and unfortunately, I didn't have a loch or a beach nearby to try my hand at open water swimming. I, like many others, had to wait it out.
Pools are set to reopen in Scotland on 31 August. However, they won't be how we fondly remember them. In an attempt to limit face-to-face contact, pool opening hours look likely to be highly restricted, limiting the number of training hours available. Water polo is forecast to see the most drastic changes as the swimming regulatory body, Scottish Swimming, states that there should be no gameplay or physical contact in the water. Instead, water polo shall be limited to individual drills: each player spread two metres apart with their own ball passing to themselves until restrictions are eased further. Additionally, the add-ons that would normally make the experience of training more relaxing but chats in the steam room and regular socials look to be in jeopardy.
When I think about what the sport means to me on the one hand, it's just about being in the water: a way to relax and get away from essay deadlines or stresses at home. But when you take away the add-ons, the socials and the gossips exchanged before and after training, the prospect of getting back in the water doesn't fill me with as much glee as it would've done previously. Since coming to university, the sport has taken on a different meaning for me: belonging to something bigger than myself and having a place to make and maintain friendships. I know I will be able to maintain these from a distance, and soon our routines should return to normal. But in the meantime, I'll have to carry on making do with home workouts and Zoom socials, going easy on myself in the water's absence.

The Postal Act of 2006 divided postal products and services into two distinct categories — market dominant (also referred to as mailing services) and competitive (also referred to as shipping services). Different rules for each category allow the Postal Service to bring new products and services to market more quickly, with greater pricing flexibility.
Price changes on average for any class of mail within mailing services may not exceed the rate of inflation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous 12 months. Price changes for shipping services must produce sufficient revenue above a price floor that covers attributable costs and, for shipping services as a whole, an appropriate share of institutional costs.

About four years ago and just recently, I wrote about Arcosanti and its history but I have never been there. Last week, Sharon and I got the opportunity to visit and spend a night at this extraordinary place. We didn't have any idea what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised. The only thing I knew was I would be taking lots of photos of the unique architecture.
Sharon had been asked by her friend, Lance, to visit Arcosanti many times. He lives and works there and thought many of the residents would love to hear her ghost experiences. Since the High Desert Heritage Museum was having an anniversary celebrating, he invited us to go, speak about our experiences, sell our books, and then stay the night at nearby Arcosanti. We could not pass up this chance to see this place because we had talked about visiting there for a few years.
About an hour north of Phoenix is Cordes Junction where many stop to fill up their gas tanks or grab a meal and drinks at the McDonald's or quick mart on their way to Flagstaff, Sedona, and Prescott. Cordes Junction may be small, but they are proud of their museum and heritage. You have to take the turn-off and pass McDonald's to get to Arcosanti. The road is paved part of the way, but becomes a dirt road up to the facility.
As you are driving up to the place, you automatically notice the unusual shapes of each building. We parked in the visitors parking lot, and went up the bell tower to the lobby to get our key. You immediately notice and hear all the wonderful wind-chimes hanging all over the place. They make each one there. The lobby is adorned with many wind-chimes, jewelry, and other pieces of art for sale by the local residents.
After we got our key and a map of the place, we wandered around in amazement while looking for our room. We were staying in the Sky Tower suite which was three flights up with no elevators. They don't have AC units either, just fans. I have to say that climbing up and down stairs for two days did a number on my calves.
Since I have so much to cover and tons of pictures to show, I thought I would talk about this place in a few posts so you can get as much out of it as we did.

I think I've finally recovered from last weekend. The North Park Festival of Arts was awesome but apparently some guera left the house without sunscreen so I've got my first sunburn of 2013. It's been a great week so far, though admittedly it's been absent of any shows. I'll make up for that the rest of the week. Listings are in early this week, so we've got you covered.

Ancient Order of Pilgrims
Installation Ceremony
The ceremony following is the approved order for the installation of the officers of a subordinate sanctuary, and for the officers of the Supreme Home. The titles and duties of the respective officers being practically the same, excepting the fact that the titles of the officers in a Supreme Home carry the prefix "supreme."
In a subordinate sanctuary it is the duty and prerogative _of the retiring Worthy Shepherd to install the officers elect, but any Past Worthy Shepherd in good standing in the Jurisdiction is qualified to perform the ceremony. In the installation of the officers of a Supreme Home, the ceremony must be performed by any one of the following, the preferred order being: the retiring Supreme Worthy Shepherd, the President of the Supreme Council, an active member of the Supreme Council.
Officers whose absence is justifiable, and which has been satisfactorily explained to the sanctuary or to the Worthy Shepherd, and to the Supreme Worthy Shepherd and the Supreme Council, in the case of Supreme Home officers, may be installed by proxy.
The hour having arrived to perform the ceremony, the installing officer occupies a position in the hall similar to that occupied by the Worthy Shepherd in a local sanctuary, calls the members to order and announces the names of two marshals, previously selected, -who will lead the Pilgrim March.
The Pilgrim March
The marshals appointed will arrange the members in couples, forming two columns, each of which is led by one of the marshals. As the music is played the double column passes from the West towards the East, by the way of the North, in review by the installing officer.
As the columns pass the installing officer the second time, they move along the center of the hall toward the West, and there separate, one column returning to the East by way of the North, and the other turning to his left, goes back to the East by way of the South, thus forming two elliptical circles.
As the marshals approach the West the second time, the two circles having been distinctly formed, the two columns intersect in front of the station in the West, a member from each passing alternately, thus each repasses to the East by a different route. This position leaves the members in two parallel columns, extending from West to East, each headed by a marshal, one standing to the right of the installing officer and the other to the left.
The two marshals march down the columns on the inside, observing that the lines are straight, one of which faces the North and the other the South. When the marshals meet in front of the station in the West, they walk hand in hand to the East midway between the two columns, where they salute the installing officer with the public Supreme Honors, thus:
Place the palm of the right hand over the right ear horizontally, carry the right forearm across the breast to the left shoulder, dropping it suddenly to the side, and then bow the head. This is done only once.
Address by Installing Officer.
W.S.: The Marshals will present Brother (sister) …, who has been elected Worthy Shepherd of ... sanctuary for the ensuing term .... At the command just given the marshals salute the installing officer, thus: Raise the right forearm to a horizontal position across the breast, then drop the arm suddenly to the side. The officer elect is escorted to the East, walking hand in hand between the two marshals. The other officers elect are escorted in the same manner.
W.S.: Brother (sister) ..., I welcome you upon your elevation to the highest office within the gift of this sanctuary. It becomes my duty to lay before you the importance of punctuality and regular attendance on your part, which will serve not only to dispatch business, but as an example to the other officers.
Let candor and equity be your distinguishing characteristics in all your proceedings, and your decisions void of partiality.
W.S.: Do you promise faithful obedience and protection to the laws and regulations of the Supreme Home and the orders of the Supreme Worthy Shepherd, and to use every legitimate means that the same may not be violated by the sanctuary under your control, nor by any of its officers and members?
Ans.: I do.
W.S.: Do you agree that no person nor set of persons can be initiated into the mysteries of this fraternity unless the constituted number of duly qualified members is present, or unless authority has been expressly granted by the Supreme Home of the Jurisdiction or by its duly authorized officers to do otherwise?
W.S.: Do you agree that no visitor shall be entitled to a seat in your sanctuary until after due examination he proves himself worthy, or unless he be vouched for by one or more members in good and regular standing, and if there is reason to believe that the presence of such an one will in any way tend to disturb the peace and harmony, said person will be denied admission?
W.S.: Do you promise to maintain the honor and dignity of your position and employ every means for the upbuilding of your sanctuary and the fraternity generally?
W.S.: Officers and members of ... Sanctuary No ..., you have listened to the solemn pledges of our brother (sister), are you still in favor of having him (her) as your presiding officer for the ensuing year?
Ans.: We are.
W.S., prompting the candidate to repeat: I, ..., in the presence of Almighty God and all present, do solemnly pledge that as Worthy Shepherd of this sanctuary, I shall faithfully discharge the duties pertaining thereto, and shall employ every means to preserve the peace and harmony and for promoting the general welfare of the sanctuary and the Order generally throughout the Jurisdiction.
W.S.: The Marshals will now invest the Worthy Shepherd (Supreme Worthy Shepherd) with the badge of office, whom we salute with the public Supreme Honors.
Public Supreme Honors are given by all members, led by the marshals; but after the badge of office has been put on the W.S.
W.S.: You may conduct the presiding officer to the station in the East, and present the Worthy Vice-Shepherd elect.
The marshals salute the installing officer and present the Worthy Vice-Shepherd in the same manner as before.
W.S.: With much pleasure do I welcome you, now that you are about entering upon the duties of so responsible an office. Your duty, from time to time, will be to assist the Worthy Shepherd (Supreme Worthy Shepherd) in upholding the honor of the chair, and maintain order throughout the transaction of the business. Do you realize the importance attached to your office, and do you promise to conform to all the requirements thereof?
W.S.: After investing the Worthy Vice-Shepherd with the insignia of office the Marshals will conduct him (her) to his (her) station in the West and present the next officer in rank.
The marshals execute the order as before and present the Worthy Recorder.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, I have the honor to present for installation as Worthy Recorder of ... Sanctuary No. ..., Brother (Sister) ..., who has been elected to serve during the ensuing year.
W.S.: With the utmost pleasure I congratulate you on the eve of assuming the duties of one of the most responsible offices of this sanctuary (fraternity).
Your duty as Worthy Recorder (Supreme Worthy Recorder) is to keep a correct account of the proceedings on all occasions, and thus place this sanctuary (fraternity) in the front rank of progress. The marshal will now invest the Worthy Recorder with the insignia of office, and will present the Worthy Locker after having conducted the Worthy Recorder to his station in the East to the left of the Worthy Shepherd.
The order is executed as before.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, I present to you Brother (sister) ..., who has been duly elected Worthy Locker for the ensuing year.
W.S.: Brother (sister) ..., being the choice of a majority of the members of this sanctuary (fraternity) for the position of Worthy Locker shows the high estimation in which you are held. Into your hands will be placed the funds of the Order for safe keeping, which may be called for at any moment to administer to the necessities of such worthy members who may become objects of our charity, and worthy of relief from us in their distress. Do you hereby promise and pledge to maintain the confidence imposed in you, and on retiring from office to surrender to your successor whatever funds and records which may be in your posession and belonging to the Order?
W.S.: The Marshals will invest the Worthy Locker with the insignia of office, conduct him to his station to the right of the Worthy Shepherd in the East, and present for installation the Worthy Senior Usher and the Worthy Patrol.
The order is executed as before, the candidates for installation having a position between the marshals.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, with much pleasure we present to you Brother ... and Brother ..., who have been elected to the offices of Worthy Senior Usher and Worthy Patrol, respectively.
W.S.: My ..., your duty is to prepare and conduct candidates through the ceremonies of initiation into the mysteries of our fraternity, as well as to execute such orders about the sanctuary as the Worthy Shepherd may direct. It is of necessity that you be well acquainted with the workings of our Order, that you might rightly present its beautiful truths and lessons to those who come ready and qualified to receive instruction.
Ever bear in mind that the nature of the Impression made upon a candidate depends upon the amount of care exercised in the discharge of your duty. As Worthy Senior Usher and Worthy Patrol, do you sacredly promise to perform creditably the duties devolving upon you?
Ans.: We do.
W.S.: The Marshals will invest these officers with the proper insignia of office.
The Marshals invest each of the officers with the badge of office.
W.S.: Worthy Senior Usher, the scroll and baton within the star, which is your badge of office, is a symbol of well formulated plans and their consummation, and teaches that as the first impressions upon a candidate are lasting, they should in all cases be good. Worthy Patrol, your badge, the baton within the star, is to remind you that the preservation of good discipline is a necessity to the welfare of your fraternity. The Marshals will conduct these officers to their respective stations, and present the Worthy Junior Usher and Worthy Sentinel for installation.
The Marshals execute the order as before.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, it is a pleasing duty to present Brother ... and Brother ..., who have been duly elected Worthy Junior Usher and Worthy Sentinel, respectively, of this sanctuary for the ensuing year.
W.S.: My ..., you are the inner and outer guards of the entrance to this sanctuary. To you is intrusted the protection of the secrecy of our proceedings and the prevention of such alarms as will disturb unnecessarily the solemnity of our ceremonies. Do you promise to discharge your duties faithfully and with the utmost zeal?
W.S.: The Marshals will invest these officers with the badge of office.
The Marshals invest each officer with the badge of office.
W.S.: Worthy Junior Usher, the dove within the star symbolizes peace, and indicates that harmony is essential to the prosperity of our Order.
Worthy Sentinel, the crossed-swords within the star is a sign of protection. At your post be ever vigilant, as our safety against intruders rests upon your watchfulness. The Marshals will conduct these officers to their stations and present the Worthy Inspirator and the Worthy Counselor for installation.
The order is executed as before, and as the Marshals conduct the Worthy Inspirator and the Worthy Counselor to the East, the members sing an appropriate hymn accompanied by music when possible. A sacred instrumental selection can be substituted for the same.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, I present to you ... and ..., who have been elected to the offices of Worthy Inspirator and Worthy Counselor, respectively, for the ensuing year.
W.S.: My brother (sister), your position is one of marked distinction, as is evidenced by your station in the center of the sanctuary. There is the Holy Bible, the revelation of Divine Truth, and through its sacred pages are taught the lessons of love, faith, hope, holiness and the other Christian graces. It will be your duty to invoke the blessings from on high upon the deliberations of your sanctuary, and to instruct those who seek admonition in those heavenly virtues which are illustrated in the lives and characters you present. May a halo of beauty and sublimity encircle your station, as typified by the crown and stars, the symbol of your office.
Marshal invests Inspirator with badge.
Worthy Counselor, the office to which you have been elected is one of significance. Your badge of office, the anchor, symbolizes the steadfast hope and our assurance of safety in being anchored to the principles and virtues of our ancient mysteries. Your duty will require safe and wise counsel on your part with the officers and members of the sanctuary.
When the trials and sufferings, which mortal man is heir to, arise almost too grieyous to be borne, by wise co-operation between you and your Worthy Inspirator, and your Worthy Shepherd, the membership may realize that the afflictions of this world 'are not worthy of comparison to the joys that await us in the Great Beyond.
The Marshal invests the Worthy Counselor with the badge of office.
W.S.: The Marshals will conduct these officers to their stations and present for installation the board of Worthy Trustees.
The Order is executed as before, and the three Trustees and the Marshals approach the East hand in hand ⸻ one of whom walks between the two Marshals.
Marshal: Worthy Shepherd, we take great pleasure in presenting to you Brothers ..., ..., and ..., who have been elected to the office of Worthy Trustees of this sanctuary for the ensuing year.
W.S.: My brethren, the office to which you have been elected shows the high regard and esteem the members of your sanctuary have in your ability and judgment to look after the material welfare of the sanctuary. Your badge of office, the burning lamp, symbolizes the searching scrutiny to be exercised in the light of truth in reference to all the business transactions, and especially the investment and expenditure of the funds of this sanctuary. Do you pledge yourselves, in the presence of the members here assembled, to faithfully discharge your duties?
W.S.: After investing these officers with the insignia of office, the Marshals will present for installation the Supreme Council.
The order is executed as before, and the members of the Supreme Council are presented.
Marshal: Supreme Worthy Shepherd, we present, with the highest degree of pleasure, the following brethren, as members of the Supreme Council, to-wit ....
S.W.S.: My brethren, though the last to be presented for installation, your position in the Order is one of the most exalted. Your badge of office, the emblem of Justice and the Book of the Law, suggest the spirit and temperament of mind which I should be uppermost in all your deliberations.
There can be no higher duty nor any greater responsibility imposed upon you by our institution than the responsibility of sitting in judgment as a judicial tribunal for the adjudication of grievances, charges, complaints and appeals as they arise throughout the Jurisdiction.
As the Marshals invest you with the insignia of your office, let us impress you that your purpose should be to regard the spirit rather than the letter when vindicating the majesty of the law.

Cemitério de Brompton () é um cemitério gerido por The Royal Parks, localizado no borough de Kensington e Chelsea. É um dos Sete Magníficos, Londres. Estabelecido pelo Ato do Parlamento e erigido em 1839, foi aberto em 1840, originalmente é conhecido como o Cemitério de West of London e Westminster. Consagrado por Charles James Blomfield, Bispo de Londres, em junho de 1840, é um dos mais antigos e distintos cemitérios de jardim da Grã-Bretanha. Com cerca de 35.000 monumentos, desde simples lápides a mausoléus substanciais, marcam mais de 205.000 locais de descanso. O local inclui grandes parcelas para mausoléus familiares, e sepulturas comuns onde os caixões são amontoados nas profundezas da terra. Tem também um pequeno columbário, e um Jardim de Memória isolado no extremo norte para restos cremados. O cemitério continua a estar aberto para enterros. É também conhecido como um refúgio urbano para a natureza. Em 2014, foi-lhe atribuído um subsídio da Lotaria Nacional para realizar restauros essenciais e desenvolver um centro de visitantes, entre outras melhorias. Os trabalhos de restauro foram concluídos em 2018.

Embora o cemitério tenha sido originalmente estabelecido por uma empresa privada, é agora propriedade da Coroa.

História
Nos primeiros anos do Século XIX, os cemitérios do interior da cidade, na sua maioria adros de igrejas, eram há muito incapazes de lidar com o número de enterros e eram vistos como um perigo para a saúde e uma forma pouco digna de tratar os mortos. Em 1837, foi tomada a decisão de estabelecer um novo cemitério em Brompton, Londres. O espírito comovente por detrás do projeto foi o arquitecto e engenheiro, Stephen Geary, e foi necessário formar uma empresa a fim de obter autorização parlamentar para angariar capital para o efeito. Geary foi nomeado arquitecto, mas foi mais tarde forçado a demitir-se. A garantia do terreno - cerca de 40 acres - ao proprietário local, Lord Kensington e à Equitable Gas Light Company, bem como a angariação do dinheiro provou ser um desafio alargado. O cemitério tornou-se um dos sete grandes e novos cemitérios fundados por empresas privadas em meados do século XIX (por vezes chamados "The Magnificent Seven") formando um anel à volta da orla de Londres.

O local, que anteriormente comercializava jardins, tendo sido comprado com a intervenção de John Gunther de Fulham, tinha 39 acres (160.000 m2) de área. O Cemitério de Brompton foi eventualmente concebido pelo arquiteto Benjamin Baud, com no seu centro, uma modesta capela em cúpula de arenito datada de 1839, no seu extremo sul, atingida por dois longos colunatas simétricos, agora todos de grau II*, ao estilo da Praça de São Pedro em Roma, e ladeada por catacumbas. Pretendia-se dar a sensação de uma grande catedral ao ar livre. Tem uma forma rectangular, com a extremidade norte apontando para noroeste e a extremidade sul para sudeste. Tem uma "nave" central que vai da Old Brompton Road em direção à colunata central e à capela. Durante o projeto de restauração de 4 anos que teve início em 2014, um pavimento original vitoriano com padrão radial de pedra Bath e York foi descoberto por baixo do tapete da capela .

Por baixo das colunatas encontram-se catacumbas que foram originalmente concebidas como um enterro alternativo mais barato do que ter uma parcela nos terrenos do cemitério. Infelizmente, as catacumbas não foram um sucesso e apenas cerca de 500 dos muitos milhares de lugares nelas foram vendidos. A Lei dos Intermediários Metropolitanos de 1850 deu ao governo poderes para comprar cemitérios comerciais. Os acionistas da empresa de cemitérios ficaram aliviados por poderem vender as suas ações, uma vez que o custo de construção do cemitério tinha sido ultrapassado e tinham visto pouco retorno do seu investimento e havia poucos funerais no início .

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o cemitério sofreu danos causados por bombas.

Activism, Analysis, etc.
Who is really progressive in Northern Ireland? (3/3)
May 24, 2008 johanneswilm	6 Comments
I recently went to Northern Ireland, to the city of Belfast. The Left has generally supported those pro-catholics, who are working for a united Ireland as a part of a national liberation struggle from London rule. I decided to interview representatives of progressive parties on either side on the issues that socialists should really care about — social issues — to see how different they really are in their day-to-day politics in these current times of peace. This is the last of three parts, in which I conclude after having interviewed Hugh Smyth from the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) and Paul Maskey from the socialist Irish-republican Sinn Feinn party.
So there we go. I interviewed a representative of a progressive party on either side of the divide, and their answers were remarkably similar.
Local demands against profit rather than alliance with one EU-country or another can be seen in Belfast as well.
Let us review their answers once more:
PM: Paul Maskey (Sinn Fein)
HS: Hugh Smyth (HS)
HS: not opposed to rich apartments, but percentage needs to be affordable
PM: not against private houses, but more social housing
parks and roads:
HS: no issue currently, under direct rule not enough funding
PM: various departments need to think more together, under British direct rule it wasn't thought through
HS: lowest unemployment for over 50 years/ever, more apprenticeships (two year government program)
PM: built more hotels, tourism, insure employment opportunities for young people
HS: way behind, but current budget a lot better than under direct rule
PM: some very good, a lot very poor, way better now with local minister
11+ exam:
HS: don't scrape it before satisfactory alternative, party is split
PM: for area based education system, might work some places and not in others
drugs/anti-social behavior:
HS: more money for councilors/youth workers (no budget cuts)
PM: has a lot to do with war, more money for councilors/youth services also from other government departments, all-Ireland approach
joy riding:
HS: more police presence needed
PM: part of youth worker program
police:
HS: not sufficient men, need more funding
PM: party is going onto police boards to make them concerned about their issues
working class representation:
HS: better now than ever, but not good enough
PM: yes, his representing working class
What one might have expected is that Smyth is faith in the positive role the British police plays, whereas Maskey is more interested in an all-Ireland approach to fighting anti-social behavior. But besides such minor points, the two seem to have virtually the same program: apprenticeships/work opportunities for young people, more cheap housing without prohibiting rich people form building altogether, emphasis on investment in health care overall positive expectations from local rather than direct rule. In fact, under most other circumstances one would expect them to form a party together in order not to confuse the voter with too many similar choices. The reason that that wouldn't work in this case is obviously that the militia groups connected with the two parties have too long a history of killing one-another.
For any progressive group from the outside though, it seems silly to be supporting one but not the other of these two. If anything, one should demand from the two to be cooperating on a parliamentary level and to work together to form majorities for their common points.
At the same time, while sounding thoroughly social democratic in their view points, different from the Schröders and Blair's of this world, none of their immediate action program points to any revolutionary ambitions. Now one may say that's good, especially in this case where undoubtably revolutions would be connected with endless bloodshed, and it is true that a coalition of these two would certainly be an improvement to today's situation. But in the sense of revolutionary as setting forth a program that would transport one beyond capitalism, the parliamentary work of parties such as these will likely not suffice.

Malachy Steenson says:
Not really worth commenting on,as the research falls down immediately on interviewing only two parties, the inbuilt bias is clear from the opening paragraph which describes PSF as both socialist and progressive, even a quick tour through their history would clearly show this is not the case.
The whole project lacks any clear knowledge of the Irish situation and this is reflected in your replies on Indymedia. In future look beyond the PSF spin
Johannes Wilm says:
@Steenson: Not really. The thing is that those who are local and who do have experience with it know quite well that such opinions wouldn't be accepted around there. And having bricks thrown through your window is not exactly something worth giving your opinion for.
And sorry, I don't think there is anything more to be understood about someone is attack/kill you.
As to the extent of the survey: you have currently the following parties in the Belfast city council: DUP, SF, Social Democrats, UUP, Alliance, PUP. Can you name me any others of these that are supposed to be socialist or progressive according to either their own or the opinions of others?
That there is a plethora of sects at the 1-30 people level, the way it just is in the UK, doesn't really qualify any of them as political parties.
As to Sinn Fein: Now you might not realize this, but they do show up at various conferences around Europe as part of the Left. Their youth is part of ENDYL — European New democratic Young Left — together with the youth groups of most other party youths of parties to the Left of the various social democrats.
Also, quite officially, SF is part of the United European Left fraction in the European Parliament together with amongst other The Left from Germany.
So before you give another of those "you don't have the right to talk, cause you don't know anything about it" comments, maybe you should consider whether it could be worthwhile to come up with actual arguments instead.
As I had imagined, reactions would come from either side. Unfortunately Indymedia Ireland seems to have found a comment supporting my view to be inappropriate and deleted it.
here you can find more:
Indymedia Ireland and Indymedia UK.
Firstly we have The workers Party, The Irish Republican Socialist Party, and Republican Sinn Fein who are all parties of long standing and are Republican Socialist in ideology, and are organised throughout the 32 counties.
There are also many smaller groupings on the left.
The absence or presence of members on Belfast City Council is not an indication of work done on the ground but as a result of the type of electoral politics we have.
The fact that PSF appear at conferences of the left, the Irish Labour party and British Labour party also appear at these conferences, are your seriously claiming that they are socialist or progressive. PSF attempts to portray themselves as left doesn't wash, look at their policies and particularly the policies they has pursued since taking power in the North.
@steenson:
just as I said, there is a bunch of small groups. I actually went to a meeting on the Iraq war held by one of them, and I bought their newspaper. However, there has to be some kind of cut-off. Getting into the local parliament is a fairly impartial way of doing it.
As to the connection: Sinn Fein, and only Sinn Fein, is part of the UEL-group in the European parliament. And SInn Fein Youth, and onlu Sinn Fein Youth is part of ENDYL . You may twist that whatever way you want, but they have to be worthy candidates for the status of progressive and socialist, at least in their own understanding. That is why I compare their positions with those of the PUP and find out that they're not so different. If you has read the interview, this should be pretty obvious.
Also, please accept that on the ultra left everybody apparently thinks they are the only true leftist, but I cannot take that as a standard for anything. It is a very sad state of affairs indeed, but hey… that's the ultra left to you
the belfast connection says:
welcome to our world. everyone from every political shade will be stamping their feet and throwing a tantrum that you didnt see everything entirely from their point of view. all youve done is present the parties in the political light in which they present themselves. this seem the fairest way to go about it. we are all intelligent enough to look at the information and put it in context with our own experiences and knowledge. my personal conclusion is that the main policical parties here are as pathetic as ever. they attatch a tag to them elves to give some sort of validity, meanwhile the parties on the fringes are claiming support that they dont have and are itching to start pulling triggers again.
as for indymedia.ie they always censor anything that dosent fall in line with the views of the republican extremists that tave taken control of it. i stoped going on it because any comments i wrote always led to me getting terrible abuse such as being called an "orange bastard" "protestant bastard" and "murdering agent of the british state" before my comments and any supporting me were quickly removed. big brother flies the starry plough!
in northern ireland division and sectarian bigotry = votes and at the end of the day no matter what the grouping or what they claim to be this is what they always fall back on when they want to gather support.
aw crap! you got me started off again johannes, and just when i was stopping lying awake at night annoying myself over northern irish politics.

Exxon's third development project on hold; Gov't asks Canada to help with review
Offshore Guyana
BusinessPolitics
By Editor On Aug 12, 2020
ExxonMobil's third development project offshore Guyana is on hold as the People's Progressive Party Government awaits a review of the Payara Field Development Plan (FDP) before granting approval.
President Irfaan Ali at the sidelines of an event on Tuesday told the media that he convened a meeting with various stakeholders and informed them that the Government will review what was done so far.
"So we are in the process of engaging an international expert to do that review of the work done so far," President Ali noted, adding that it is in accordance with the PPP's campaign promise to review certain aspects of the petroleum industry.
"We've asked for this review and we have to await the review," he added.
The Government is still to source the money to fund the review along with the expert but has reached out to Canada for assistance.
"Well we haven't identified a person, what we have to do first of all is secure financing, see where financing is, there is a lot of technical assistance in the sector, we've approached the Canadian High Commission for example for help in relation to sourcing someone, getting someone, so that is where we are," President Ali said.
ExxonMobil submitted the FDP in September 2019 following which the former Government embarked on a review and approval has been pending since December 2019.
On May 4, 2020, Director of the Department of Energy Dr Mark Bynoe said that the review was fairly advanced with some preliminary issues raised with the Operator.
With a new Government in place, the responsibility for the energy sector was taken up by the President's office.
President Ali said on Tuesday while the day to day operation will be handled by the Ministry of Natural Resources and its sub-agencies, the policy governing the sector will be handled by the Office of the President.
Once it gets on-stream, the Payara project will ramp up oil production to 750,000 barrels of oil per day.

Do Not postpone treatment varicose veins can start out as a seemingly small problem, but left untreated, can become much more serious. Complications of varicose veins may include ulcers. These may form on the skin near the affected veins, particularly near the ankles.
