As well as the new ITC product lines and product extensions at Southern Manufacturing, show visitors were genuinely absorbed by the quality of the BIG KAISER range of MEGA Micro Chucks. Complementing the new ITC range of micro-tools, the MEGA Micro Chuck design has a notch-free nut that prevents vibration and noise. This offers superior balance and concentricity, which is critical for high-speed machining with small tools.
Demonstrations of this technology and the ITC micro end mills certainly put ITC on a pedestal as a leading supplier of micro-tooling solutions at Southern Manufacturing. For manufacturers that didn't get to see the new innovations at Farnborough, your next opportunity will be the forthcoming MACH show in April. Please come and visit us on stand H20-650.

Jewish Life Kolot

Kolot – Almost A Mother
By Irene Frisch
Although my own mother has been dead for a long time, I remember her vividly, always with great love. Yet, on this Mother's Day I am thinking about a woman who never had children of her own; a woman who touched my life with her strong and loving hand, a woman who risked her own life to save mine.
Our story began 65 years ago in our little city in Poland. My mother, a young housewife at the time, took her baby son for a walk in his stroller. Little did she know at the time that this would be the most important walk of her life. On her way to the park, she was stopped by a teenaged peasant girl.
"What a beautiful baby," the girl exclaimed. "Can I play with him?"
This was music to the ears of a young mother, who adored her chubby firstborn.
"Surely," she responded. "What is your name and where are you from?"
The girl was about 15 years old, blonde, with two long braids, smiling blue eyes, and a perky nose. She was barefoot — her only pair of shoes tied together and hung over her shoulder (as shoes were to be saved and not worn). In her hand she carried a colorful kerchief tied into a bundle, containing all of her possessions.
"My name is Frania," the girl replied.
She had come to the city looking for a job in a household. While she spoke with my mother, she shook the rattle, made faces and cooed at the baby. It was obvious that she was quite smitten. My mother, who was generally not one to make hasty decisions, somehow made up her mind at that very instant.
"You have found a job right now," she said, and took the girl home with her.
This was a time when hiring help was less complex than today. People trusted each other and small town life was easy, with no media to frighten anyone with reports of outrageous crimes.
And so, Frania became a member of our household. She had been orphaned at the age of five. Her mother, a poor farmer and widow, was left with little land and many children. The children had all started working at an early age. Frania started her first job at age six tending the geese of a wealthy farmer. Although her formal education ended at this point, she never ceased to learn. She was observant and gifted with both natural intelligence and a great deal of common sense. Although she was illiterate, she developed into a capable young woman who was well-equipped to deal with any situation she found herself in.
Frania was part of our household for 14 years, witnessing the arrival of my sister and then me. All that time she was extremely devoted to us and remained convinced that "our children" were the smartest and the most special. A devout Catholic, she instilled in us her faith and fear of God. In her own simple way, she taught us right and wrong. Her values were high and her code of ethics strong, supported by tales of her youth and by examples from village life. She gave us all the security in the world and would have easily won the approval of today's child psychologists. During World War II she did not hesitate for one moment to save our lives, although it meant endangering her own, devising the most outlandish tactics in order to outsmart our persecutors.
Many years later, already old, she was reluctant to accept our help, afraid that she might deprive us of something. Today, dear Frania, I hope that you are in your much coveted and deserved paradise. I hope that you have learned to read and that, as you read this tribute, you are happily sharing it with your neighbors and saying "our children did it again," as proud of me now as you always were.
Irene Frisch lives in West Hartford.
Readers are invited to submit original work on a topic of their choosing to Kolot. Submissions should be sent to judiej@jewishledger.com.

Ozil joined Arsenal in 2013, but he has never played at St JamesPark in Newcastle in the past five years. So this weekend will be Ozils first away game against Newcastle, the British media Daily Mirror jokes: The Germans have to create a new milestone. It doesnt make much sense. Ozils most important thing now is to play his part in the game. He enjoyed the weekly salary of 350 thousand pounds, but his performance has not been satisfactory.
In the past international competition day, Mesut Ozil had a rare rest. After the world cup, Mesut Ozil announced his withdrawal from Germany and he can play football for Arsenal. The Daily Mail revealed that Ozil had stayed in London for the past two weeks, volunteered to practice and had a dialogue with Emery about his responsibilities on the pitch and how to improve.
Emery is eager to see Ozil take on a more aggressive offensive level, he is looking forward to Ozils seasons first goal and first assists. He has been making progress. I hope to get the best out of him, hopefully get more lethal passes, get closer to the penalty area and score goals. He and I have the same idea. He can continue to improve. He can do more. We will continue to help him. We will fight together to find his best. Emeri said.
This is a new era for everyone of us. Mesut Ozil is no exception. He has done a good job recently. He is very good. I just want to give him a push. Im very demanding of everyone. Ozil is not a special one. Emeri hopes Mesut Ozil can lead by example.
Emery insisted that there was no conflict between him and Ozil, and that they were only slightly different in their work. I have a good relationship with him. Im just pushing him forward. I hope he can play the best. Mesut Ozil, like other players, works very well. I have been watching him and asking him to focus his attention on the team.
Will team CEO go to Milan AC? Emery didnt answer positively: Im only talking about the tactics of the team. You should ask him this question. I dont know the rumors and what to say.
Emeri again lashed Mesut Ozil: he can do better, we really have no contradiction.

Brendon Urie Reveals How a Text Led to His Taylor Swift 'Me!' Collaboration
Katrina Nattress
It all started with a text.
Ahead of the Billboard Music Awards, Brendon Urie explained to Entertainment Tonight how his collaboration with Taylor Swift, "ME!," came to fruition.
"We were a tour, and I got a text from her," he said. "She texted me and said 'Can I call you?' I said 'Absolutely.' So she sent me over the song and said, 'We need to finish this together. I don't have a bridge, I don't have a couple other parts. I said 'Great.' From that point on, for the rest of the tour, the song was just stuck in my head—it's a beautiful earworm of a song."
"About a month later we met in the studio, finished the song together," he continued. "It happened so organically, it felt so natural, and that's a testament to Taylor's hard work as well. She's just incredible to be around."
Brendon and Taylor will be giving the song its live debut at the BBMAs tomorrow (May 1). He'll also be performing "Hey Look Ma, I Made It" with his band, Panic! At The Disco. The 2019 BBMAs will be hosted by Kelly Clarkson and air live on May 1 at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC.

With the introduction of several new major retail chains, Apple has announced that its mobile payment platform is now available at 74 of the top 100 merchants in the U.S. and 65 percent of all retail locations across the country.
In a news release today, Apple announced that Target, Taco Bell, Hy-Vee supermarkets, Speedway convenience stores, and Jack in the Box have now come on board with Apple Pay, although the actual rollout to retail stores is still ongoing.
The rollout at Target has already begun, and Apple Pay is expected to be available at all 1,850 locations in the coming weeks. Hy-Vee and Speedway have already completed their deployment of Apple Pay, while Taco Bell and Jack in the are expected to have the mobile payment service available at all of their locations over the course of the next few months.
Apple Pay has continued to expand throughout the U.S., with Costco competing its rollout to over 500 warehouse stores last summer, CVS Pharmacy introducing it across all of its 8,400 standalone locations, and 7-Eleven launching the service at 95 percent of its U.S. stores last year.
While contactless payment terminals are almost ubiquitous in Canada, Australia, and many European countries, where the technology has been incorporated into physical credit and debit cards for years, the U.S. retail and banking industry had not widely adopted contactless payments prior to the advent of Apple Pay — only two percent of U.S. retailers supported any kind of contactless payments when Apple unveiled the service four years ago. As a result, U.S. retailers have had to upgrade equipment and payment systems in order to support the new technology, making the wider deployment of Apple Pay within the U.S. a significant indicator of the popularity and influence of Apple's mobile payment platform.

I know we are in a serious situation, but I need a break from the gloom, doom and bullying by way of hoarding. Music has always been my refuge and watching those beautiful Italians singing to each other from their balconies reaffirmed my belief that music is the answer. So until the old normal returns, I am going to share a song I listen to that helps me escape the current state of things, if only for a few minutes each day. And if this helps anyone else, even better.
Earlier this week drummer & percussionist Jamie Oldaker passed away at age 68. He specialized in a few different music genres including rock, blues and country. He played with a lot of diverse artists including Bob Seger, Leon Russell, Stephen Stills and Freddie King. But I will remember him best for all the work he did with Eric Clapton, including as one of his drummers during his Live Aid set. You can see both men in action by watching that performance on YouTube (they did three songs: "White Room", "She's Waiting" & "Layla"). Incidentally, that show took place 35 years ago this month. That is absolutely mind-boggling to me!!!
Clapton wrote a really sweet tribute to his former drummer on his Facebook page today, crediting Oldaker's sound as the reason Clapton wanted to play music again after getting lost in his drug addiction for too long in the early 1970's. Oldaker's magic is heard on Clapton's 1977 album "Slowhand" & 1978's "Backless". So when you hear songs like "Cocaine", "Wonderful Tonight", "Lay Down Sally" and today's pick, that is Oldaker's superb rhythm you are hearing. Today's song has special meaning for me because for about two months when I was a teenager, I went to sleep with this record on every night. Every. Single. Night. I found it calming, soothing and a bit of a lullaby thanks to the "la la la" chorus. And falling asleep to Clapton's voice was a guarantee of oh so sweet dreams.
Rest in peace, Jamie. Thank you for all the great music and for reuniting Clapton with his guitar. All of his fans owe you so much.

Q: Do we need "cloud recommendations" There is a Stack Exchange site called "Software Recommendations".
Since we are living in a cloud world full of services for every aspect of live: do we need a new Stack Exchange site called "cloud recommendations" or "service recommendations"?
Topics in that site could be about:

*

*Is there a cloud service that...

*How to combine Cloud services A and B?

*Which free services can I use in order to do...

*Condiguration recommendations for cloud services?

*API vs UI

A: After Software Recommendations and Hardware Recommendations, it was decided not to have more "Recommendations" SE sites for the foreseeable future.
I don't think "Cloud Recommendations" would work in the SE model, which is aimed at providing answers that will remain useful for a long time. The properties of cloud services can be changed at any time, at the desire of the company that offers the cloud service. This makes lasting answers a difficult proposition.
If you really want to try, you could go to Area 51 and propose such a site. But I doubt it'll fly, for the reasons mentioned above.

Tailor Brands Raises $1.1 Million in Seed Funding To Build Out Its Automated Design Process
Sarah Buhr	@sarahbuhr / 6 years
The algorithmic logo design startup Tailor Brands has raised $1.1 million in seed funding from Disruptive Fund and various angel investors.
We first wrote about the beta launch of Tailor Brands at Disrupt San Francisco this past fall. It tested various branding concepts in beta. It's now ready to use the new funding to build upon those concepts and for the public to access its logo and design services.
The goal of the startup is to reduce the cost of design by letting a machine create the look of logos and various branding items. These include business cards, bags, mugs, pens and various online materials such as social media profiles for smaller businesses that can't afford to hire a graphic designer to do the work.
A graphic artist might charge anywhere from $1000 on the lower end to upwards of $10,000 for the design of all branding material, depending on the job. The Tailor Brands site will design and let you download the logo for free for your own use. It will also allow you to have unlimited revisions to that logo for free.
The money is made when you want designed assets and higher resolution images. Higher resolutions and storage of the logo on the Tailor Brands site starts at $24 for one job and go up to $99 for a complete package of business cards, higher resolution images and social media profile designs. Compare that to ordering business cards from a site like Moo at $19.99. Moo will design the cards for you using pre-made stock designs and then adding your information in after. Note that Tailor Brands provides the design but will not actually make and ship the cards to you.
The startup has so far done business in over 35 countries since its launch at Disrupt, according to Tailor Brands CEO Yali Saar.
This has helped set the company up for both funding and some runway to build out the business. Saar says he and his co-founders plan to use the new funds to hire more designers and to build out the services offered such as app design. Though he says Tailor Brands is experimenting with a lot of different ideas.
"Basically anything that can be designed we want to do," he says.

Video Content Track Listing:
Video: Stuck in a Moment (US Video) (4:27)
Video: Walk On (Europe Video)
Video: 4 × 30s Clips from Elevation 2001 DVD)
In North America, "Walk On" was the second single released from All That You Can't Leave Behind. Throughout the rest of the world, "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" was the second single. "Walk On" would eventually be released to the rest of the world as the last single from All That You Can't Leave Behind, in late 2001. The song itself was inspired by Aung San Suu Kyi, a longtime human rights campaigner who was wrongfully imprisoned by the Burmese government in an effort to prevent her from assuming leadership of that country. U2 became aware of Suu Kyi after she received the Freedom of Dublin Award in 2000, the same year the honour was bestowed upon the band.
A commercial CD was released in the UK, Europe and Australia. It would feature the same artwork as the earlier "Walk On" release in Canada, however these covers were tinted a variety of colours. A DVD single was also issued which contained promotional videos for the "Elevation 2001: Live from Boston" video release.
Two videos were filmed for "Walk On." The first was directed by Liz Friedlander and released in February 2001 to promote the song in the USA and Canada. The video was shot in London in November of 2000. It featured footage of U2 performing in-studio and walking through the streets of London. This is intercut with shots of people running through the streets, being bullied, and then later escaping their situations and tearing at their clothing. It ends with an infinite view of people making up the inside of an eye as the camera pans out. The second video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, was released in the fall of 2001 to promote the worldwide single release. It features footage shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2000, during the promotional tour for All That You Can't Leave Behind. Footage includes U2 interacting with fans, walking through Rio, playing soccer on the beach, and standing on the balcony of the Copacabana Hotel. It is interspersed with footage from their performance at Globo Studios. Both versions of the video were included on the U218 Singles compilation.
"Walk On" was first performed live at Irving Plaza in New York on December 5, 2000, during the All That You Can't Leave Behind promotional tour. It was performed every night on the 2001 Elevation Tour, with the exception of one concert in Manchester, UK. The song was rarely played during The Vertigo Tour, appearing in-full at just eleven shows. It made a permanent return to the setlist for The U2360 Tour, however, being played at every show between 2009 and 2011. Live recordings of the song have appeared on the Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland DVD and fan club CD (Dublin, September 1, 2001), the Elevation 2001: Live from Boston DVD (Boston, MA, June 2001), and the multi-artist America: A Tribute to Heroes album and DVD (London, UK, September 21, 2001). This version, which is preceded by an excerpt of U2's "Peace on Earth," was recorded in a studio in London and features David Stewart, Natalie Imbruglia and Morleigh Steinberg on backing vocals. Finally, a version recorded in Zagreb, Croatia on August 9, 2009 (and preceded by "MLK") during the U2360° tour was included on the fan club album U22. The 22 tracks on this live compilation, out of an eligible 46 recordings, were selected by popular vote by members of the U2 fan club.
Several different versions of "Walk On" have been released in addition to the versions contained on this single. A "Remix" version with slightly different instrumental levels was released on promotional CD. As mentioned previously, an alternate edit was contained on the earlier Canadian releases. Another promotional CD was released in February, 2002 to coincide with that year's Grammy Awards ceremony. It included a unique mix by Mike Hedges called the "Hallelujah Mix." The B-sides "Big Girls are Best" and "Beautiful Day (Quincey & Sonance Remix)" were later included on the Target-exclusive "7 (Rare and Remixed)" EP.

Luke Combs Just Had One of the Best Weeks in the History of Country Music
by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | June 18, 2019
If it seems like Luke Combs is crushing a new milestone every week . . . he is.
In addition to getting invited to join the Grand Ole Opry on June 11, Luke achieved the largest streaming week ever for a country artist. Check out a few of his amazing accomplishments on the Billboard country charts this week.
Luke's five-track EP, The Prequel, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
Luke's 2017 debut album, This One's for You, is No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
All five tracks on The Prequel are in the Top 25 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, which hasn't been accomplished since Johnny Cash did it in 1959.
Luke recently made history as the first artist to simultaneously top all five Billboard country charts for multiple weeks: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales. He is also the first country artist in history whose first five singles have reached No. 1.

I received my BA in Art History from China Central Academy of Fine Arts, where I studied stone reliefs of the Han Dynasty as my primary area of focus. Later, I continued my studies at China Central Academy of Fine Arts and received my MA in Cultural Heritage and Art Archaeology. My MA thesis focused on how the concept of "stone sculpture" is framed within the system of modern art in China, from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s. At ISAW, I would like to expand my research into the interactive relationships between ancient Chinese and the foreigners living around China with an emphasis on art history and art archaeology, drawing upon my academic background in art historical studies.


Dnevni avaz: "Spriječiti izbijanje nasilja"
This workshop was organised in co-operation with the Centre for European Security Studies (CESS), Holland, in the framework of their project under the auspices of the Stability Pact for South East Europe, "Democratic Control: Programme of Education of the Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Personnel".
The Centre for Security Studies is the CESS's partner organisation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The workshop focused upon Bosnia and Herzegovina and included the participation of parliamentarians from the region of Southeast Europe. The objective was towards the intention to create the effective parliamentary oversight of security structures, as well as the implementation of the necessary reform of the security sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The participation of prominent international and local experts ensured that all factors pertaining to the issue of democratic control were discussed, and the inclusion of parliamentarians from the region made certain that the workshop highlighted these issues within a regional context.

Warm bread with freshly spread butter, melting in your mouth.
And you feel good because you know, even though no one else can tell, it's sourdough, and that means that it contains more readily available nutrition than traditional breads.
What better recipe, than a classic favorite, to add to your repertoire?
This gluten-free, sourdough banana bread is a simple recipe, easy to make, and delicious!
To download the PDF of this recipe, click this link: Gluten Free Sourdough Banana Bread.
I am all about eliminating unnecessary sugar from my family's diet. I use stevia in conjunction with traditional sweeteners to reduce our overall sugar load. This recipe gives you options, if you're working the sugar out of your diet.
Combine your wet and dry ingredients. Cover and allow to ferment for 7-12 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baking dish in oven to heat while you finish your batter.
1 loaf pan, bake for 50-55 minutes.
9×13 inch cake pan, bake 20-25 minutes.
Banana bread should be firm, lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
After baking, like most breads, allow to rest several minutes before slicing.
* This recipe uses honey for its sweetness and its moisture. Sugar will work, but it will result in a more dry loaf. Traditional banana bread recipes use 1 cup of sugar per loaf. For similar sweetness, use 1/2 cup of honey (8 TBS) with 1/4 tsp. stevia. If you are in the process of reducing your sugar intake, try 1/3 cup of honey (5 TBS) with 1/4 tsp. stevia. If you are already accustomed to low sugar, you may enjoy 1/4 cup (4 TBS) of honey with 1/4 tsp. stevia, or adjust to your individual preference.

On April 10, 2002, an individual employee filed a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and 42 U.S.C. § 1981, against her employer, Aldi Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The plaintiff, represented by private counsel, alleged racial discrimination and the intentional infliction of emotional distress under state law and asked the court for $75,000. The plaintiff sought to amend her complaint so that she could act on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals.
On August 25, 2002, the court (Judge John W. Lungstrum) granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The court also denied the plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint regarding Title VII class claims but granted the plaintiff's motion in part regarding her remaining claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Briggs v. Aldi, Inc., 218 F. Supp. 2d 1260 (D. Kan. 2002).
The case was voluntarily dismissed in December 2002, and each party was ordered to bear their own costs and expenses.

It looks as if new iterations of the Nike Air Max 95 will follow us throughout the remainder of 2016. Modern color updates to the revered style are dropping at a steady pace, including colorways like this one in Light Bone.
Equally justified as off-white, the monotone construction breathes new life into the iconic silo while black outlining at the branding and a gum sole below close the look. Pairs of the Nike Air Max 95 "Light Bone" are available now at international retailers like titolo.


We met up with Gerard and Steven going through security at the Auckland airport. Nick had already cleared and was waiting at the gate. What a blessing that they were able to join us for two and a half weeks in New Zealand! The five of us flew together from Auckland on the North Island to Queenstown on the South Island. Queenstown is an adventurer's paradise, and we took full advantage!
Upon arrival in Queenstown, we picked up our rental car and then drove to Pub on Wharf for a late lunch. We were famished and so ready for the delicious the food at Pub on Wharf! It was hard not to stay at the wharf, checking out the sites of this beautiful and fun city. But we wanted to get checked into our Airbnb and relax for a while, so we enjoyed our lunch and tore ourselves away from there until later.
Our accommodation was a spacious, comfortable, clean, three-bedroom house. It had a large living/dining room, kitchen, laundry room, heated towel racks in the bathroom, two balconies and a large patio with a gas grill. It also had lots of windows with beautiful views of Queenstown. This is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed in using Airbnb during our RTW, and it was a welcome sight for all of us.
We each claimed a bed (or side of the bed), unloaded our bags from the car, and then got back in the car to drive to the nearest Countdown: one of New Zealand's supermarket chains and the one we liked the best when we were there. We bought a ton of food, considering that we'd only be staying at this location for a couple of days. But the leftovers would be good road trip food for our upcoming travels throughout the South Island.
We returned from our shopping trip, grilled some fresh salmon and steaks, cooked the potatoes and broccoli, and sat down for our first home-cooked meal together in over a year. That was something special! We stayed up late telling stories and laughing so hard — for some of us, until we cried. You would never have known that three out of the five of us had serious jet lag and had just traveled for more than 24 hours to get there. We finally did get to bed, though, because the next day was going to be a big one.
The next morning we woke up slowly and lingered over cups of coffee and tea, cooked and ate breakfast/lunch, and then took a cab to the Skyline Luge. It was a little bit of a walk to town from where we were staying, and we knew it would be a long day when we headed out. So we took it easy on ourselves and resisted the urge to walk to the luge. Also, even though it was summer in New Zealand, it was cold and rainy when we left the house. By the time we got to the top of the luge, it was sleeting.
Along the way, we all giggled simultaneously upon reading the bumper sticker on a parked and run down van that said, "Jesus is all what you need." (That's not a typo.) We're not sure why we found that SO funny, but we did. That became one of our mantras for the next two and a half weeks together.
Once we got to the luge, stood in line, and finally mounted our equipment, Dirk thought he was at NASCAR. What made this even funnier is that fact that guests are required to ride the slower of the two luge rides the first time (the bunny slope). Watch the hilarious video below of us on the bunny slope and judge for yourself. Fortunately, lawsuits are a lot less frequent in New Zealand than in the U.S. or we might find ourselves defending one right now. Jee-sus! 😉 We rode the faster luge after that one, but it wasn't nearly as comical.
After the luge incident, we went to the Stratosfare Bar at the top of the gondola and enjoyed the stunning views of Queenstown from the top of the mountain. We eventually made our way down and headed to Minus 5 Ice Bar, stopping at the Queenstown Visitor Center along the way to pick up coupons for the ice bar.
Minus 5 Ice Bar was really cool (of course, literally). We've seen ice bars in lots of places, but this was the only time we've visited one of these. We liked the way you get bundled up in your coat and gloves before entering the ice bar. These "costumes," serve an important function, of course, but they also lend a festive feel to the experience before you enter what feels sort of like a cave. Everything in the ice bar is, as you might expect, made of ice: the furniture, the glasses, the decor. You have your choice of a couple of different vodka drinks. When you're done with your class, you get to experience the joy of throwing it into the ice bowl and watching it shatter. It's not clear whether you're supposed to do this, but a couple of us did.
We left the ice bar and walked a few steps to Little Blackwood, a cool restaurant/bar on the wharf. From there, we were going to go into the nearby SkyCity Wharf Casino; but you have to be 21 to get in. Nick was just shy of his 19th birthday. So Dirk, Gerard, and Steven spent a little time and a little money at a blackjack table at the casino, while Nick and Bev hung out at Little Blackwood. Among the gambling trio, two won and one lost. Steven does the best impression of the young woman working the table saying, "Thank youuuuuu," as she raked in the chips.
The five of us all met up again at Little Blackwood. At midnight, we toasted Dirk on what was officially his 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dirk! Exhausted but still laughing, the five of us walked back home along a very dark Lake Wakatipu. The next day would be an even bigger day.
Again, we had breakfast/tea/coffee and headed out. We went straight to Shotover Jet on the Shotover River to do the jetboat ride. They give you looks and feels a little strange, but it serves its purpose. You're going to get wet on that boat! What a blast!
After the wet and wild boat ride, we went to the Fat Badgers Pizza Bar for birthday pizza. And then to the Pig & Whistle. From there, we walked back home and rested a bit. When we ventured out again, we walked along Lake Wakatipu in the daylight. It was a beautiful little hike to work off some of the pasta, fish & chips, and pizza we'd been enjoying. But we'd enjoy more.
Gerard and Steven treated us all to a wonderful Dirk's birthday dinner at Farelli's Trattoria. Dirk's favorite cake is lemon cake. They had lemon polenta cake. Close enough. It was delicious, too! The celebration moved back to the casino/Little Blackwood scene from the night before, with Bev and Nick waiting longer this time around for the gambling trio to return. This time, more money was won than the night before. But still not as much as was lost. everyone crashed out! After winding down the celebration, we took a taxi back to our Airbnb and crashed out.
See Ya Again Soon, Queenstown!
The owner was decorating a Christmas tree in the living room of our Airbnb as we finished packing up and checking out the next morning. We had a couple of weeks of touring more of South Island before we'd return to Queenstown on December 26th, but we would miss these accommodations.
By the time we did return, worn out but still wanting to make the most of every moment, we had exchanged the rental car for a Wicked Campers van. In addition to that, we always have our camping gear for two, so we decided to stay at a campground for a couple of nights. It was very nice, with clean restrooms; and it was surprisingly (pleasantly) quiet.
We hung out at the wharf for a while. By now, that area had become our usual hangout in Queenstown, especially places like Pier 19, Finz, and Public Kitchen & Bar. We ended that night, again, back at Little Blackwood. There was a live band (a trio) performing, and they were great! They played lots of fun oldies — from Johnny Cash to Dolly Parton to the Eagles and then some.
At midnight, they sang Happy Birthday to one of the other guests. Bev announced that it was also Nick's birthday, at which time a young woman grabbed Nick and dragged him onto the dance floor for the band's next song. After showing off a few of her dance moves, she yelled over to Bev, "Sorry, mum!" We laughed and laughed, as we walked back to the campground to catch some zzzzs before yet another big day the next day. Along the way, Nick proclaimed that pretty much every day from then on would be his birthday. Why not?
After we awoke and each used the campground showers, we had breakfast/lunch at an American-themed restaurant near the visitor's center. Several of us really wanted some "American coffee" badly. They didn't really nail that at this place, which is a common theme on this RTW. But Nick seemed enjoyed his birthday hamburger very much. Steven wasn't feeling well by this time.
Steven and Bev walked back to the campground early, so she could give him some oregano oil to help him feel better. It worked, but not soon enough for him to feel like he could participate in the Class V whitewater rafting trip with Queenstown Rafting. Dirk had aggravated an old back injury when we had built a bonfire on the beach near Franz Josef the week before and was moving slowly. Welcome to 50! So he wisely sat out the rafting trip. We'd paid for three slots. So Bev — who had not originally planned to go — did the rafting with Gerard and Nick.
A shuttle bus wound around what is purportedly the most dangerous road in New Zealand to take us to the put-in. It's the narrowest, scariest road Bev has ever been on, and she's been on her fair share. When you exit the bus and make your way to the safety briefing before putting on the river, the guide tells you that you can ride the bus back down if you have decided you don't want to paddle. Ha ha. No takers, of course!
That was a wild ride, and one that we'd have better video of if it weren't for two things: 1) It's hard to tell with the Pivothead sunglasses camera when they're on to record or when they're turned off. Unfortunately, we accidentally had them turned "off" instead of "on" for most of the rafting trip. And, 2) Nick was gentlemanly enough to allow a young woman who had a GoPro on her helmet sit in front. So she undoubtedly got good video — even though, uh-hum, she didn't really paddle. Some of us got a really good workout, though!
We would've probably paid for the company video of the rafting trip, but our group of five had some miscommunication in trying to find each other after the rafting trip. By the time we rejoined each other, we were all too hungry to go back to get the video. The three of us who went on this trip are very grateful for Queenstown Rafting for making so much fun…and safe. Especially our guide, a very experienced and professional Dutch guy who also guides in France part of the year. Sorry we don't recall his name, but he was the best!
Of Course, It's Still Nick's Birthday. Every Day Is.
After the paddling trip, we all met up again at the wharf. It was a gorgeous, sunny day; so we lingered at the outdoor tables for a while. Eventually, we returned to Farelli's Trattoria, where we'd enjoyed Dirk's birthday dinner a couple of weeks prior. This time we were celebrating Nick's birthday, and we enjoyed Farelli's Trattoria just as much as we had the first time we ate there.
The next day was our last full day with the boys in New Zealand. We packed up and cleaned the Wicked camper van, and Dirk dropped the others off at the Black Sheep Backpackers while he returned the Wicked camper. Once we were able to check into our rooms, we rested a bit and then walked to Queenstown Beach.
We had a wonderfully relaxing time just hanging out at the beach. Steven took a stroll along the waterfront, and Gerard and Nick rented a canoe and paddled again for a while. Dirk and Bev sat on the shore and read books. Later that day, we all enjoyed a walk through the Botanical Gardens, literally stopping to smell all of the amazing roses and vote on which color smelled the best. No one seemed to want the day to end.
We didn't realize how busy Queenstown gets during the holidays. By the time we got online to book our return trip there for the end of December, we were disappointed to learn that everything — except for the Black Sheep Backpackers — was booked up. We'd started out in Queenstown earlier in the month in very nice accommodations, clearly run by someone who cares. But we would not have that benefit this last night. At least we had a two-person room (for Dirk and Bev) and one three-person room (for Gerard, Steven and Nick), each with a shared bathroom down the hall. That was okay. We're definitely used to camping and staying in other non-luxurious accommodations.
What was not okay was the screaming and fighting that went on at the hostel and in the empty lot next to it. Different groups yelling and (almost?) rioting. All. Night. Long. We all had an early departure, so it was rough not getting any sleep. It made for not the best way to say our very sad goodbyes early the next morning. But if you're ever in Queenstown, NZ, do yourself a favor: No matter what, DO NOT STAY at the Black Sheep Hostel. Any questions?
After an epic, celebratory time with Gerard, Steven and Nick, Dirk and Bev took a long bus ride to Christchurch and prepared to ring in 2016.

Nedstrand is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway.  The  municipality was located along the Nedstrandfjorden, an inner branch off the main Boknafjorden.  The municipality encompassed the majority of the Nedstrand peninsula. Originally (from 1838 to 1868) it also included the Sjernarøyane islands and the western part of the island of Ombo in the fjord to the south.  The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Nedstrand. Nedstrand Church is located in Hindaråvåg, a small village just west of Nedstrand village. Today, the area is part of the large municipality of Tysvær.

History
The parish of Nærstrand was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law).  Originally, it encompassed the two sokn (parishes) of Hinderaa and Sjærnerø, located on the northern (mainland) part of the municipality and the southern (islands) in the Nedstrandfjorden, respectively.  On 1 January 1868, the municipality was divided into two separate municipalities, named after the two sokn that made up Nærstrand: Hinderaa (population: 1,680) and Sjærnerø (population: 922). On 10 August 1881 the name of Hinderaa municipality was changed by royal resolution to Nerstrand.  Later, between 1910 and 1920 the spelling was changed slightly to Nedstrand to better match the local pronunciation.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Nedstrand (population: 1,200) was merged with the neighboring municipality of Tysvær and parts of the municipalities of Avaldsnes, Skjold, Vats, and Vikedal to form the new municipality of Tysvær.

Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Nedstrand, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads.  The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Nedstrand was made up of 17 representatives that were elected to four year terms.  The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

COMIC-STRIP JUSTICE FOR RUPERT MURDOCH – LORD JUSTICE LEVESON DELEGATES PRESS JOB TO TONTO
By John Helmer, Moscow
There are 7,018 pages in the four-volume paper print of Lord Leveson's report on the ethics and practices of the British press. But just three references to Russia. One of them is a reflection on press freedom in primitive Russia and Ethiopia, compared with civilized UK by Alexander Lebedev, owner of the London dailies, The Evening Standard and The Independent (both currently for sale).
The report is modestly titled with an indefinite article: "An Enquiry into the Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press, Report." The byline belongs to Sir Brian Leveson (image left), a specialist criminal lawyer, then an appellate court judge. According to one of Lebedev's papers, Leveson is in the running for promotion to the job of Lord Chief Justice, as the principal position in the British judiciary is called. That's to say, he was in the running before his report was composed and despatched to Prime Minister David Cameron.
Leveson's executive summary can be read here; the four volumes here.
There are also 748 references to Rupert Murdoch, his son James, and other family members and in-laws, whose alleged telephone hacking, bribery of policemen, blackmail threats, influence trafficking, lobbying of politicians, and other practices led to the appointment of the enquiry in the first place.
Russia is the only jurisdiction in the world which, having investigated Murdoch for corruption in connection with his operation of News Outdoor Russia and his attempted sale of the asset, got rid of him. Leveson appears not to have known of its relevance, nor investigated the details.
Of the three references to Russia in his report, two are inconsequential. One is a passing note about the US Embassy cable, which was published in Wikileaks and given prominence in the Anglo-American press, calling Russia "a virtual Mafia state". The second reference comes from Cameron's witness appearance before Leveson, when the prime minister described a private jet trip to meet Murdoch "on the way back from a visit to Georgia (which had recently been invaded by Russia)." Murdoch's personal animus towards Russia – enhanced by the Latvian nationality of his last but one wife — is as well-known as Cameron's one-sided endorsement of Georgia's invasion of Ossetia, which triggered the war of August 2008.
The third reference comes with Leveson's endorsement of Alexander Lebedev as a KGB veteran and a philosopher. "Lebedev offered an interesting insight, bearing in mind the perspective of his Russian background, into the constitutional importance of a free press: 'Well, I just think that – okay. Going back to the question of politicians meeting proprietors, I think we are in danger of building a society where every institution, every element of democracy becomes too feeble. So politicians become too feeble, police becomes too feeble, the country itself becomes too feeble. If the press also becomes feeble, then what we get is what I would call a tyranny of consensus, and everyone is afraid or thinks twice or has to check twice before a step they make, a comment they make, and I think one of the extraordinary things about this country is a very robust and diverse press, and I think that has to be protected. Without, of course – those who have created – who have committed crimes, sorry, should be punished and punished according to the law. But I think the robustness of the press in this country should be protected because otherwise, as I mentioned earlier, I've been recently going on trips to countries where there is no freedom of the press. I've just come back from Ethiopia and there are journalists there that have been charged with terrorism, with genocide. Some might be put to death. Countries like that, when you visit them and you see what the lack of the freedom of the press has on the effects on the government and the state, and also, as far as I'm concerned, I come from – I was born in the Soviet Union, I come from Russia, and I can see the effects of not having a free press is having on Russia.' " (Volume 1, sect.2:26.)
The terms of reference to which Leveson worked, announced by the Prime Minister in July 2011, indicate that Leveson was authorized to do more than inquire. He was to judge. "The second part of the inquiry," Cameron told the House of Commons on July 13, 2011, "will examine the extent of unlawful or improper conduct at the News of the World and other newspapers, and the way in which management failures may have allowed it to happen…We have agreed that the inquiry should consider not just the relationship between the press, police and politicians, but their individual conduct too. We have also made it clear that the inquiry should look not just at the press, but at other media organisations, including broadcasters and social media if there is any evidence that they have been involved in criminal activities."
Thus, one of the UK's leading judges was engaged to spend a large amount of public money (almost £4 million as of June 30, 2012), hear months of testimony, and compile his report. But has the Lord Justice done the one thing he was supposed to do – judge? And what does his performance reveal of the difference between the Russian and British way of doing things in the press, and in the courts?
Leveson concedes the obvious at the start — "the extraordinary influence that Rupert Murdoch has exercised over the development of the press in Britain, since he purchased NoTW [News of the World] newspaper in 1969" (1-s1.1). He also judges Murdoch's newspaper style. "Mr Murdoch introduced a style and understanding of journalism that he had developed at the Adelaide [Australia] News. In an otherwise staid newspaper market, the re-launched The Sun and NoTW were irreverent and anti-establishment." (1-s2.22). There is also reticence in the judicial finding that "Mr Murdoch takes an active interest in the editorial direction of the NGN titles, though the position in relation to The Sun and NoTW was far from identical" (1-s2.49).
Leveson has no difficulty passing judgement on ministers in the current Cameron government. Vince Cable, the business minister, for example: "Despite strong attempts to lobby him behind the scenes, Dr Cable acted with scrupulous care and impartiality until he was interviewed by two journalists posing as his constituents in early December 2010. He was fully entitled to hold strong views about the press in general and News International in particular, but his quasi-judicial role in relation to the bid meant that he had to put them to one side. Unfortunately, his unguarded remarks to these journalists about Rupert Murdoch and News International entered the public domain, thus creating an appearance of bias, and the Prime Minister was forced to transfer responsibility for the handling of the bid elsewhere" (Executive Summary, s123).
Then there is the judgement against Jeremy Hunt, the media minister: "I have concluded that there is no credible evidence of actual bias on the part of Mr Hunt. However, the voluminous exchanges between Mr Michel and Mr Smith, in the circumstances, give rise to a perception of bias. The fact that they were conducted informally, and off the departmental record, are an additional cause for concern" (Executive Summary, s128).
But what judgements does Leveson reach on the evidence presented on the Murdochs?
Volume 1 of the report deals with telephone tapping, hacking, and bribery. Regarding James Murdoch, Leveson rules: "The extent of James Murdoch's knowledge of the allegations is not clear." For a judge quite capable of precise forensic analysis to assist his judgement, it is odd that Leveson lets Murdoch off the hook on this analysis of what Murdoch's brain was capable of in 120 seconds: "James Murdoch explained in evidence that he did not read all the email chain, and did not read the specific allegation made by Mr Taylor because he received the email on a Saturday when he was with his family. He said that since he was due to meet Mr Myler to discuss the issue on the following Tuesday he did not feel he needed to read beyond the request for a meeting. James Murdoch replied to the email within two minutes of receiving it. The speed and content of his reply appear to support his claim not to have focused on the key allegation" (1-s7.41).
The Murdoch defence to the allegations against them is that criminal acts had been committed, but too far down the chain of command for them to know; and that subsequently up the chain of command there had been a cover-up. That, according to Rupert and James Murdoch, had turned the two of them from perpetrators into victims. Here is Leveson on the central issue for judgement: "Given the significance of the issue, it is necessary also to deal with the extent to which Rupert Murdoch had knowledge of the relevant facts. Rupert Murdoch said in evidence that he knew nothing of the settlement of the claim brought by Mr Taylor when it happened in 2008. He said that he first learned of it in 2009 and was very surprised by the size of the settlement. He recalled discussing with James Murdoch why the settlement was so high, but denied that there was any discussion about the fact that Mr Taylor had evidence of further illegality at NoTW or that NGN had had to settle at that level to buy the silence of Mr Taylor. He said that James Murdoch's explanation for the value of the settlement was that, though high, it was less than the anticipated cost of a full trial" (1-s7.45).
"Rupert Murdoch claimed that senior management at NI: '…were, all misinformed and shielded from anything that was going on there… there's no question in my mind that maybe even the editor, but certainly beyond that someone took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to' "(1-s7.46). "He went on to say that the culture of cover-up emanated from: 'one or two very strong characters ………or the person I'm thinking of…..was a clever lawyer and forbade people to go and report to Mrs Brooks or to James'" (1-s7.47).
Were the Murdochs telling the truth or lying? The judge flubs.
"I must make it clear that if James Murdoch was unaware of the allegations, his lack of knowledge is, at least in part, only as a result of chance, rather than as the consequence of a sustained campaign by Mr Myler or Mr Crone (if there was one) deliberately to keep him in the dark. The fact is that had he read, in detail, the entirety of the email that he received on 7 June 2008, there was sufficient to put him onto a line of enquiry which could have led to an investigation of the entire issue. It also depends on precisely what he was told on 10 June 2008" (1-s7.51).
"It is sufficient to say that if James Murdoch had been the victim of a cover-up, or an attempt to minimise the gravity of the position, then the accountability and governance systems at NI would have to be considered to have broken down in an extremely serious respect. If James Murdoch was not the victim of an internal cover up then the same criticism can be made of him as of Mr Myler or Mr Crone in respect of the failure to take appropriate action to deal with allegations of widespread criminality within the organisation" (1-s7.52).
"A similar analysis stands in respect of News Corporation. Although there is no evidence from which I could safely infer that Rupert Murdoch was aware of a wider problem, it does not appear that he followed up (or arranged for his son to follow up) on the brief that he believed had been given to Mr Myler to 'find out what the hell was going on' [Rupert Murdoch quote], leaving the matter solely in the hands of Mr Hinton. If News Corporation management, and in particular Rupert Murdoch, were aware of the allegations, it is obvious that action should have been taken to investigate them. If News Corporation were not aware of the allegations which, as Rupert Murdoch has said, have cost the corporation many hundreds of millions of pounds, then there would appear to have been a significant failure in corporate governance" (1-s7.50). That subjunctive has cost £4 million in taxpayer's money.
Leveson wants to appear strenuous in the performance of his duty, but in the end he fails to discharge it. "I have given careful consideration as to whether I should go further, and conclude that Mr Crone's version of events as to what occurred on 10 June 2008 should be preferred to that of James Murdoch. There are aspects of the account of Mr Murdoch that cause me some concern: in particular, it is surprising if the gist of Mr Silverleaf's opinion was not communicated to him in circumstances where the potential reputational damage to the company, of which he was CEO, was likely to be great if an early settlement of the claim brought by Mr Taylor were not
Achieved" (1-s7.53).
Here is the buck passing into oblivion: "Whatever the truth [sic], there was serious failure of governance within the NoTW. Given the criminal investigation and what are now the impending prosecutions, it is simply not possible to go further at this stage. In any event, what can be said is that there was a failure on the part of the management at the NoTW" (1-s12.11).
In volume 2, Leveson makes 52 references to the Murdochs, and issues one ruling, another contorted subjunctive: "Mr Murdoch would no doubt not wish to countenance the deployment of tactics tantamount to blackmail" (2-s4:53).
Volume 3 of the report investigates the Murdochs' political operations and the extent to which they used their media power to threaten politicians with support or opposition in print at election time in return for policies promoted by the Murdochs, including commercial favours and payoffs to their companies and pockets. This section of the report runs to 1,476 pages with 542 references to Murdoch.
Sir John Major, the prime minister in 1997, is explicit. "There was a significant exchange between Mr Murdoch and Sir John shortly before the election. Sir John invited Mr Murdoch and his wife to dinner because he had been urged by party officials to "woo" newspaper proprietors. Sir John said this about the occasion: '…In the run-up to the 1997 election, in my third and last meeting with him on 2 February 1997, he made it clear that he disliked my European policies which he wished me to change. If not, his papers could not and would not support the Conservative Government. So far as I recall, he made no mention of editorial independence but referred to all his papers as "we". Both Mr Murdoch and I kept our word. I made no change in policy, and Mr Murdoch's titles did indeed oppose the Conservative Party…'" (3-s.2.21).
In his witness testimony former prime minister Tony Blair was more coy – so is Leveson.
In March 1998, according to the report evidence, Murdoch requested Blair to ask the Italian Prime Minister at the time, Romano Prodi, to allow Murdoch to take over the Italian Mediaset television group. "Whether Mr Blair would have telephoned Mr Prodi to intervene on Mr Murdoch's behalf had the latter not telephoned him first on another matter is unclear. In any event, taking full account of the fact that Mr Murdoch was seeking very limited benefit from the intervention, what may be more important is what can be inferred from the fact that Mr Murdoch was able to ask the Prime Minister to make the enquiry in the first place" (3-s.3:21).
Five years later, in a much better known and more momentous episode in March 2003, Blair asked Murdoch for support of Blair's decision to go to war with Iraq. Leveson reaches for camouflage. "Although Mr Blair did not have a clear recollection of the precise content of these calls (and nor did Mr Murdoch when asked about them), it is interesting that he made time to discuss these issues with a newspaper proprietor speaking from the USA. It is also interesting that Mr Murdoch's newspapers worldwide all supported the war" (3-s.3.23).
The relationship between Murdoch and British politicians, the judge finally judges, is too close. But that isn't because Leveson has ruled on the evidence of corruption in the relationship. All Leveson has found is a problem of "perception".
"Mr Cameron frankly and, in my view, properly accepts that politicians have got too close to the media. In his words: 'Yes. I mean, that's part of my evidence, really, is to say I think this relationship has been going wrong for, you know – it's never been perfect. There have always been problems and you can point to examples of Churchill putting Beaverbrook as a minister. There have been issues for years.But I think in the last 20 years, I think the relationship has not been right. I think it has been too close, as I explain in my evidence, and I think we need to try and get it on a better footing.' The problem is public perception. This section of the Report has dealt with too many issues where the public, not knowing any more than it has (or, I might say, than what it reads in the newspapers), has been entitled to worry about the way things have been done and what has been going on. A way of conducting relationships with the media which leads to a situation in which a public Inquiry is needed to take an objective, not to say forensic, look at the matter in order to reassure the public cannot be considered as satisfactory or itself in the public interest." (3-s4.8).
Leveson's forensics do more to establish whether Rupert Murdoch went in to see the prime minister through the front door of 10 Downing Street, or through the back door. He refuses to rule on the truthfulness of the conflicting evidence of what was said inside. He also omits to investigate whether British readers of the papers are in fact as influenced by the editorials and media partisanship as Murdoch and the politicians he favours appear to think.
Russian readers are more knowing. For generations, before the communist revolution, during the Soviet period, and since 1991, they believe the media are propaganda tools – not to be believed as sources of either truth or sense. Leveson's report illustrates the likelihood that the British are more gullible; and that the Murdochs use every trick in the book, along with money and the promise of making more out of advertising and celebrity, to keep them that way. When Lebedev compared Russia and Ethiopia unfavourably to the UK, he omitted to say that he has investigated the credulousness of readers of Moscow and Ethiopia. Lebedev makes certain his own conclusions on the matter can't be challenged because he refuses to expose himself, his son Evgeny, or their common business practices to independent questioning.
And so to Leveson's finale, and if Lebedev is right, the huzzah for British democracy.
"It has been suggested that it is important that I resolve this conflict of evidence and express my view as to where the truth lies. I decline to do so for two very different reasons. The first is very important in the context of the nature of the Inquiry and the manner in which it has had to be approached both as a matter of statute but also, as I have indicated, practicality. It is possible to postulate circumstances in which the question of whether this telephone call took place was central to the resolution of civil litigation between the parties. In that event, considerable investigation would have focussed around the precise date and time of the alleged telephone call; questions would have been addressed to Mr Murdoch as to how he said that the call had been connected; phone records and other documents sought on discovery. Mr Murdoch would have been cross-examined at length by counsel for Mr Brown and vice versa. The question who to believe would have been capable of decision within a far fuller factual matrix. To do so, in particular, without permitting cross-examination seems to me to be unfair to both men" (1-s3.10).
"I recognise that judges are sometimes required to make difficult factual decisions with very little more than the information available and, if it was critical to do so, I would have had to do the best that I could. That leads me to the second reason. In short, it is neither critical nor, indeed, necessary to decide where the truth of this conversation lies: save in the limited respect of the credibility of Mr Murdoch, it is not relevant to the Terms of Reference at all…"
"In part, I have gone into the detail of this particular factual conflict because of the interest and concern that has been expressed about it. Of greater importance as a reason for doing so has been to explain the limitations of the forensic exercise that it has been possible to undertake while addressing the very wide Terms of Reference within the broad timeframe within which I have been asked to report. This Report will not provide all the answers to all the questions that could possibly arise out of the uncountable number of issues that have been raised in evidence. Those who are expecting it to do so will be disappointed" (1-s.3.12).
This pleading in mitigation by the judge comes down to a single word. Disappointment isn't the word for it.
