"Completely Unacceptable." Arms Committe MP Blows The Whistle On Export of Weapons to Egypt
May 11, 2012 May 11, 2012 ~ Alisdare Hickson	~ Leave a comment
In a letter just received, a key member of the Select Committee on Arms Exports says the export of weapons to Egypt is "completely unacceptable" and that she "will campaign in Parliament for this to be stopped."
Katy Klark, Labour MP for North Ayrshire and Arran and a key member of Parliament's Select Committee on Arms Exports, writes
"I share your concerns at the current situation in Egypt and agree that the Government should be taking robust measures to stop the sale of arms from UK companies to repressive regimes. I believe there is a strong possibility of arms sold to the Egyptian regime being used against their own people and believe it is completely unacceptable that licences for export to Egypt are being granted and I will campaign in Parliament for this to be stopped."
Commenting on the situation involving tear gas exports by Federal Laboratories (owned by the British multinational BAE Systems) in the U.S. to Egypt she writes
"In addition there do appear to be loopholes for subsidiary companies based overseas. I would be happy to look into whether there is any way in which these can be closed."

If you are having difficulty chewing your food, are embarrassed of your smile, or have been experiencing problems related to gum disease and tooth decay, it's probably time to consider a full-mouth restoration.
Restoring your smile to a brighter, straighter and healthier state can rejuvenate your overall facial structure and improve the quality of your life.
Dr. Kardaris has the advanced training and years of experience required to restore your mouth to full health, function and beauty. She can achieve excellent results in cases that range from relatively simple procedures such as replacing worn crowns, to more complex cases that require treating severe gum disease or placing implant-supported restorations.
A full-mouth restoration can include a number of procedures that are done step-by-step to produce the most effective results. Dr. Kardaris may choose to use a variety of treatments from fillings, crowns, bridges, and even implants, dentures and orthodontics.
Dr. Kardaris' aim is to ensure your mouth is healthy and functional as well as beautiful. Missing and broken-down teeth not only limit your ability to eat properly for optimum nourishment, but can also cause problems with the jaw alignment.
Infections in the gums may lead to tooth and bone loss. Additionally, the toxins that are released into your system can compromise your overall health. A full-mouth restoration includes ensuring that these problems are handled.
A full-mouth reconstruction can sometimes involve lengthy procedures. To make your treatment more comfortable, Dr. Kardaris offers various types of sedation.
She can provide oral sedation or nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and for cases requiring IV sedation, she works with a trusted anesthesiologist. You will closely monitored the entire time that you are receiving any type of sedation, and a team member will always be present.
Sedation dentistry has also allowed Dr. Kardaris to help many people who, due to fear or anxiety about dentistry, would not get the treatment they need.
Dr. Kardaris conducts a very thorough oral exam to determine exactly what is needed to return your mouth to a healthy state. She checks the condition of your gums, teeth and oral cavity. Dr. Kardaris knows that every patient is different, and considers each case to be unique and requiring its own specific treatments.
During the consultation she will take photos and give you a video tour of your mouth so you understand what needs to be done. High-quality panoramic X-rays that capture 360° views of your mouth and jaw are also taken when diagnosing and planning your treatment.
She will talk with you about any concerns, answer all your questions and present all the options available to you.
Included in this consultation is an insurance verification in order to help you to maximize your insurance benefits. We also offer financing options with CareCredit.
Together, you and Dr. Kardaris will decide which treatment options are best for you, and she will create a detailed step-by-step treatment plan to be followed to restore your mouth back to health.
"I have some medical conditions that required me to be hospitalized for the extraction of multiple teeth, in case of complications during the procedure. Dr. Kardaris had the professional and necessary training to perform the procedure in the hospital setting with the assistance of an anesthesiologist to use, and anesthesia to put me to sleep during oral surgery, prior to the procedure.
"The procedure lasted a lot longer than expected and required Dr. Kardaris to be on her feet for over four hours to complete the surgery. This was a 'life saver' for me.
"In the past, I had a lot of fear and anxiety while in the dental office. Dr. Kardaris has treated all of my dental concerns for many years with her excellent staff, especially Ashley, the dental hygienist — she is small in stature, yet is gentle with such large care and concern for each patient, while providing valuable information regarding dental care.
We are dedicated to bringing advanced, high-quality dentistry to our patients. We focus on providing all our patients with comfortable and convenient dental services, and our office's modern design features various comfort amenities to create a relaxing and pleasant environment for you and your family.


That's odd it buzzes? I just asked my customer is his car buzzing his clutch has been on his ap1 since of last year and he drives the heck out of it. He said he doesn't remember how many miles he had on the car when I did the install. I wanted to get a close est. to maybe how many miles he's put on his car since then. He's said he's been back and forth to Florida(Orlando) 4 times for already than to Charleston Beach at least 10times visiting home. He's changed his oil numerous of times. He's located in Fort Mill SC. He's est that he's put over 10k give of take he said. At least. I asked him has he felt or heard anything abnormal. He replied no. I'm not sure why the clutch kit you're talking about is having a buzz. My dad's Accord has an exedy I'm sure that man has put well over 10k easily since I've done that install. Now you've made me curious about this!
I'm not disputing that. What I said was to compare at the spring configuration on the old OEM and current Exedy and the current OEM. For some reason Exedy did not change to the new configuration that prevents the deceleration buzz of the old OEM. The current Exedy disc starts buzzing typically somewhere between 5-10k miles.
If you have the opportunity, compare the original OEM clutch disc design, the current Exedy clutch disc design and the current OEM clutch disc design. Please look carefully at the spring configuration design. If you combine that variance with an interview of someone that's used the Exedy clutch disk for more than 5,000 miles, you will see why I recommend the current OEM disc over the Exedy disc.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Tips, tricks and secretsHere you will find the most complete guide to Red Dead Redemption 2, with all the tips and what you need to know to complete the game at 100%.
Crimes: All the information about the different types of crimes in Red Dead Redemption 2Challenges: The 90 different challenges will give you a lot of rewards. We tell you how to get them all.Stagecoach ambushes: «The bag or your life», was often heard on the road. But we will tell you how to assault all the stagecoaches without getting shot in the face.Trophy Guide: Want to get all the achievements and trophies of Red Dead Redemption 2? We tell you everything you need to know so you don't miss a single one of them. Treasure Maps: These are all the treasure maps contained in the game and how to get them all. Become the ultimate treasure hunter.Peristas beads and talismans: We explain how to create beads and talismans in the peristas, which allow us to obtain different permanent advantages.
Many buildings can be explored and, all night long, houses become easy prey for thieves. Rob banks, threaten stores and if possible the most chic, rob houses: you will risk, probably lower your honor, but you will earn dollars and more dollars. Don't forget, before the slightest theft, to hide your face to act incognito.
The stores will always be happy to recover the skins you have obtained in exchange for some distracted coin. The more correctly you kill the animal, the more valuable it will be (we will have the opportunity to return to this in the next update of our hunting guide). Remember that you can also deliver animals to the main camp to improve it. As we have seen, trappers will also be happy to collect furs and other items for resale, but also craft items, with the making of talismans and amulets.
Playing a few games of cards and fleecing people can bring in a lot of money, especially when you are good at it. There are many activities available in the cities with gambling possibilities, keep an eye on them! And, in the worst case scenario, if things go wrong, you can always turn the situation around and rob them – that's freedom of action too.
Throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 you will complete several treasure maps that will make you earn gold bars and thanks to them you can become very rich, we already told you that the bars were key in the trick to get infinite money in RDR2. But in order to create wealth through gold bars you need to take them to a shopkeeper who will value them and exchange them for normal money, something that you can not do in any normal store.
In Red Dead Redemption 2 there are a total of 5 experts and to access them you must first find them. To help you do this, we decided to create this new chapter of our guide to Red Dead Redemption 2 in which we explain where to find all the peristas so you can sell gold and stolen items.
But before we show you the map with the location of all the perists in Red Dead Redemption 2, we must clarify something: three of the perists can be activated by simply traveling to their place of work and talking to them, but there are two that require overcoming missions. The first of these two perists is the one in Emerald Ranch, where you can also sell wagons and stolen horses, which will not be available until you have completed the mission The Spines of America from Chapter 2. The other one is the Clemens Point perist, which requires you to complete the Horse Flesh for Dinner mission from Chapter 3.
The creation system of Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite complete and complex, as it will allow us to access all kinds of things to survive in the Wild West. One of them are the Recipe Guides, which we can buy for a small fee in Peristas stores. In the list below you can consult the available recipes.

I received some exciting news yesterday. Well, news that is exciting for me, but which will prove to be a drain on this blog, my current book projects, and my writing aspirations on the whole. In short, I was selected for a slot in Officer Candidate School in the U.S. Army. That means: A) I will be out of contact for up to a year in various training camps, and B) that even after I finish with training I will be working 40+ hours a week in a profession not particularly conducive to a budding writing career. I may even be deployed for long periods of time with no chance whatsoever to write.
So, both a happy and sad day.
On the one hand, I'll get to live a life of service to others – something that has always been important to me. On the other, my dream of becoming an influential storyteller will slow to crawl. But that's life. Sometimes we have to put one dream on hold to fulfill another. I will be able to write for decades to come, but serving my country is something best done while I'm still young and physically capable.
Anyway, the point is that I will continue to write and post and market and build a following while serving as an officer, but it will likely be much slower than before, and may halt completely for the better part of the next year. That being said, I'm considering having a proxy (friend or relative) continue running my blog, social media accounts, and marketing efforts while I'm in training, so be on the lookout for some occasional content from him or her.
Thank you to everyone who has followed and/or stopped by to read my thoughts or support my writing endeavors! You're all the best. I'll get back in touch in about a year (or sooner if I'm able).

Q: How to only set the remaining progress bar color? I would like to use ProgressBar with the completed part with color black, alpha 0.5 (so it can see through), while the remaining part is white alpha 1.0 (which is not transparent at all).
I try to use
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="@color/white" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
    <clip>
        <shape>
            <solid android:color="@color/black" />
        </shape>
    </clip>
</item>

and set the clipDrawable's alpha to be 0.5. But it turns out the completed (left) part of the progress bar is not transparent since the background is not transparent.
Is there a way to achieve my goal?

A: this is what you can use to customize your progress bar

<!-- Define the background properties like color etc -->
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape>
        <gradient
            android:angle="270"
            android:centerColor="#00613e"
            android:centerY="1.0"
            android:endColor="#00613e"
            android:startColor="#00613e" />
    </shape>
</item>

<!-- Define the progress properties like start color, end color etc -->
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
    <clip>
        <shape>
            <gradient
                android:angle="270"
                android:centerColor="#f6e41a"
                android:centerY="1.0"
                android:endColor="#f6e41a"
                android:startColor="#f6e41a" />
        </shape>
    </clip>

Tomorrow's homes may be made of glass and steel—or they may resemble the shelters built by our prehistoric ancestors. Architects and engineers are taking a new look at ancient building techniques, including building with earth products.
Imagine a magical building material. It's cheap, perhaps even free. It's plentiful everywhere, worldwide. It's strong enough to hold up under extreme weather conditions. It's inexpensive to heat and cool. And it's so easy to use that workers can learn the necessary skills in a few hours.
This miraculous substance isn't only cheap as dirt, it is dirt, and it's winning new respect from architects, engineers, and designers. One look at the Great Wall of China will tell you how durable earthen construction can be. And, concerns for the environment and energy conservation make ordinary dirt look downright appealing.
What does an earth house look like? Perhaps it will resemble the 400-year-old Taos Pueblo. Or, tomorrow's earth homes may take on surprising new forms.
Or, the house may be made with concrete but earth sheltered underground .
How many people live or work in buildings constructed of earth? The folks at eartharchitecture.org estimate that 50% of the world's population spend much of their time in earthen architecture. In a global market economy, it's time that more developed nations take note of this statistic.
Traditional adobe homes in the American Southwest have wooden beams and flat roofs, but Simone Swan and her students at the Adobe Alliance have discovered the African mode of construction, with arches and domes. The result? Beautiful, ultra-strong, and energy-efficient homes, echoing the adobe domes built along the Nile centuries ago and being built today like earth igloos in places like Namibie and Ghana in Africa.
No one can argue with the environmental benefits of using mud and straw. But the ecological building movement does have critics. In an interview with The Independent, Patrick Hannay, from the Welsh School of Architecture, attacked the straw bale structures at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales. "There would appear to be little aesthetic leadership here," Hannay said.
But, you be the judge. Does "responsible architecture" have to be unsightly? Can a cob, straw bale, or earth sheltered home be attractive and comfortable? Would you like to live in one?
"The challenge is to design a single-family unit of about 30 x 40 feet on a plot of 60 x 60 feet to be built by maximum use of earth and local labor in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The client of your design is the middle-income family in any township of your choice in the Ashanti Region. Total costs of constructing the design entry must not exceed $6,000; land value is excluded from this price point. The entry should serve as an example to the local people that mud architecture can be beautiful and durable."
How something is built can have little to do with aesthetics. A home can be well-made but ugly.
Attaining status through architecture is nothing new; creating an image transcends socio-economic class. Design and construction materials, the essential tools of architecture, have the power to make or break stigma.
Architecture has a long history of design principles that often get lost through the years. Roman architect Vitruvius set a standard with 3 Rules of Architecture—Firmness, Commodity, and Delight. Here's hoping that earth igloo construction will rise to the level of being built with more beauty and delight.

Volunteers recruited for a study at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London were asked to drink approximately one British pint, equivalent to about 20 ounces in U.S. measurements, of beetroot juice or water. Those who had the beetroot juice started to show reductions in blood pressure after an hour. At about 2.5 hours, participants who had the juice began to show significant reductions in both their systolic and diastolic readings. The effect was linked to the nitrate found in the beetroot, which reacted with bacteria in the mouth and resulted in blood vessels dilating. Nitrates are also found in spinach and lettuce. Andrew J. Webb, et al. "Acute blood pressure lowering, vasoprotective and anti-platelet properties of dietary nitrate via bioconversion to nitrite" Hypertension—Journal of the American Heart Association Published online ahead of print 4 February 2008, doi: 10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.107.103523
Dr. Garnet Chaney from Stanford University's School of Medicine performed several studies with cabbage juice, and found it was very effective in treating peptic ulcers. (Cheney, G, et al. "Anti-Peptic Ulcer Dietary Factor (Vitamin "U") in the Treatment of Peptic Ulcers," Journal of the American Dietetic Association 25:668-672, 1950.)
Cherry juice and cherries (whole) have been shown to be effective in easing attacks of gout and gouty arthritis, with patients reporting greater freedom of movement in their fingers and toes. Keracyanin, the pigment found in cherries, is believed to be the beneficial agent. (Blau, LW. "Cherry Diet Control for Gout and Arthritis," Texas Report on Biology and Medicine 8:309-312, 1950.)
One study showed that drinking citrus juices regularly, along with reducing dietary sodium, helped prevent kidney stones. ("Keeping Kidneys Stone-Free: Hold the Salt and Pass the OJ," Modern Medicine 63:15, January 1995.)
Cranberry juice has been shown to be very effective in the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections. (Kuzminskik, LN. "Cranberry Juice and Urinary Tract Infections: Is There a Beneficial Relationship?" Nutrition News II:S87-S90, November 1996.)
A Harvard study showed that men who eat at least ten servings a week of tomato-based foods are up to 45 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer, while men who eat four to seven servings a week show a 20 % reduction in prostate cancer rates. Tomatoes and tomato juice contain large amounts of lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. ("Cancer and Tomatoes," Nutrition Week 7, 15 December 1995; taken from 6 December 1995 issue of Journal of the National Cancer Institute.)
Another study showed that feeding tomato juice to mice kept them from developing emphysema after cigarette smoke exposure that was long enough to induce emphysema in a control group. ("Tomato Juice Keeps Emphysema From Developing In New Model; Lycopene" American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology in Science Daily Jan. 25, 2006)
In a study conducted at Norway's Oslo Rheumatism Hospital, rheumatoid arthritis patients drank fresh carrot, celery, and beet juices as part of a special dietary program. Doctors found a substantial reduction in disease activity among these patients. (Kjeldsen-Kragh, J. et al. "Controlled Trial of Fasting and One Year Vegetarian Diet in Rheumatoid Arthritis" The Lancet 338:899-902, 12 October, 1991)
The Kame Project showed that those who drank juices more than three times per week compared to less than once a week were 76 % less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. (Dai Q, Borenstein, et al "Fruit and vegetable juices and Alzheimer's disease: the Kame Project." Am J Med 119 (9): 751-9. PMID 16945610, 2006).
A team of researchers at Neurodegeneration Research University of Massachusetts found that drinking apple juice helped mice perform better than normal in maze trials and prevented the decline in performance observed in aged mice. The researchers observed that mice drinking the human equivalent of two glasses of apple juice per day for one month produced less of a small protein fragment called "beta-amyloid," which is responsible for forming senile plaques that are commonly found in the brains of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The researchers concluded that regular consumption of apple juice can not only help to keep one's mind functioning at its best but may delay Alzheimer's disease.

At More than 3 Million Jobs, Advanced Energy is a Big – and Growing – Source of Employment in the U.S.
Posted by Bob Keough and Frank Swigonski
Mar 2, 2017 8:30:10 AM
Chuck Fernandez takes a selfie with the solar array he just installed in Lancaster, Calif. Image courtesy of Mr. Fernandez and NEXTracker.
Last week, eight major business associations across the spectrum commonly known as "clean energy," including AEE, held a daylong social media event celebrating the employment impact of our collective industries. Under the #CleanEnergyJobs hashtag, more than 900 companies, organizations, and individuals sent out messages, infographics, videos, and photos – including more than a few selfies and team pics – extolling life on the job in clean energy. It was all to amplify a bit of powerful economic news: Based on the latest data from the U.S. Dept. of Energy, clean energy now supports more than 3 million U.S. jobs – equal to the employment provided by retail stores, and twice as many as building construction. We thought this news was worth shouting, if not from the rooftops, at least via Twitter!
Besides AEE, organizers of the #CleanEnergyJobs campaign included American Council on Renewable Energy, AJW (representing Energy Service Companies), Alliance to Save Energy, American Wind Energy Association, the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, Energy Storage Association, and Solar Energy Industries Association. A sampling of the day's social media activity can be found here.
In January, U.S. DOE published its 2017 Energy and Employment Report the result of its second annual survey of employers involved in various aspect of energy. In the report, DOE did not offer a definition of "clean energy," and the trade associations representing different portions of the industry have their own ways of defining what it represents. But the groups all agreed that, in the aggregate, these jobs add up to more than 3 million nationwide.
When it comes to what technologies, products, and services we consider to be advanced energy, we can get a bit more specific:
Nearly 2.2 million workers making buildings, appliances and other products more energy efficient, saving money for families and businesses.
More than 650,000 workers involved with advanced electric power generation, including biomass, biogas, fuel cells, geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, combined cycle natural gas, solar, waste-to-energy, and wind.
100,000 workers in advanced grid technologies, including energy storage, and another 100,000 workers in biofuels.
250,000 jobs in advanced transportation, including hybrid, electric, natural gas, and fuel cell vehicles.
In all, that adds up to 3.3 million jobs supported by advanced energy.
A year ago, based on DOE's first employment survey, we reported that advanced energy supported 2.7 million jobs nationwide. The new numbers and old are not directly comparable, as DOE, working with BW Research Associates, has improved its survey methods, resulting in more accurate – and larger – numbers overall, so the jump cannot be attributed entirely to growth. But this year's DOE report does document significant growth in some advanced energy jobs, year-over-year:
133,000 jobs added in energy efficiency
Solar employment up 25%
25,000 more wind jobs, now topping 100,000 total
65,000 new jobs in transmission, distribution, and energy storage
What's more, employers surveyed expect to add jobs this year:
9% projected growth in energy efficiency, for 198,000 more jobs
6% growth expected in transmission, distribution, and storage
7% expansion predicted in electricity generation overall, including advanced energy generation technologies
These jobs are made possible by the growth of markets for these products and services in this country. AEE's Advanced Energy Now 2016 Market Report found that total U.S. revenue from the wide range of advanced energy goods and services was $200 billion in 2015, more than pharmaceutical manufacturing in this country. Investment over the past 10 years in clean electricity generation has totaled $507 billion, with $59 billion invested last year alone, according to the 2017 Sustainable Energy in America Factbook, published by the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. The wind industry gets American-made turbine parts from more than 500 factories in 43 states. According to GTM Research and SEIA's preliminary report, the solar industry nearly doubled its previous record by installing 14,626 megawatts of generating capacity in 2016.
More than 3 million jobs supported by the advanced energy industry? That's just a start.

On an unusually warm West Bromwich night in February 1989, Sam Allardyce woke up from his sleep feeling musty beneath the sheets. The spirit of Charles Reep was sitting at the foot of his bed. He was inspecting Sam's dunking bird. He thought it was pretty nifty, how the bird bobbed up and down and up again and told Sam so.
Sam, scared witless, asked him what he was doing there. Charles told him to not worry, he wasn't dead yet, that this was just an out-of-body experience. Sam asked him what it felt like. Charles said it was depressing, and not unlike Manchester. Sam thought to himself that he quite liked Manchester.
Charles had two messages for Sam, which were: one, he shouldn't follow his footsteps, and two, if he could please pass the raisins. Sam passed him the raisins and got Charles chatting about football.
Sam thought Charles was pretty clever with his football ideas. As dawn broke, Charles's spirit thought he should return to his body and that he better not be late for his morning tea. He got up and walked through the wall. Sam, trying to follow, broke his nose.
That probably didn't happen. But some really rad stuff went down in 1989. #1 The Berlin Wall. #2 Nintendo rolled out the Gameboy in America. (Soon enough, you didn't have to spend a fortune worth of dimes at arcades.) #3 Microsoft launched its Office Suite. (Spreadsheet, Word Processor, Database and Presentation Software, the works. It made the hippies-turned-telephone-marketers a little more organised in the workplace. Did wonders for the economy.) #4 Hulkamania was running wild.
But you know how these things work. The cosmos had to balance the good stuff out with the bad; progression with regression. And before 1989 knew it, China drove a tank into Tiananmen Square, Donald Trump penetrated prime-time public consciousness on Larry King Live, and Big Sam Allardyce, despite epiphanies, strutted into football management.
Sam, not unlike Trump, is the kind of guy who'd stand uncomfortably close to you at a pub urinal, then fart and say, "better out than in, eh?!" His views on foreign football managers run along the same lines. But before we get to that, we need to visit the lavatory and the legend of Charles Reep.
In the 1950s, Charles Reep had a gut-feeling. Holed in for hours in the idyllic Swindon Town football club outhouse, the restless Reep was flexing his mind and bowels, often at the same time, mustering the methods to get rid of the constipated movement from his side. One day it came to him like a flush in the pan. He, reportedly, wrote the revelation down on toilet paper rolls.
Reep came to the conclusion that movement consisting of three or fewer passes lay the foundation of more goals than sequences of elaborate build-up plays. More simply, more often the ball is hoofed up to the most advanced players, highest up the pitch, the more likely will the bouncing ball present opportunities.
Charles Reep, a former RAF Wing Commander, was a fan of Blitzkrieg tactics and saw his footballing philosophy as a very natural superimposition, and quite understandably, aligned to his view of the world.
Yet, 67 years later, Roy Hodgson, Neil Warnock and English football's confederacy of dunces still treat the missives from the Swindon men's room as their gospel. Sam Allardyce takes it a step further. He calls his office The War Room as an unironic nod to Reep and his own cultural upbringing.
Veteran manager Dave Bassett, and a friend who shared Sam Allardyce's classy sense of humour, once remarked that Sam was what he'd call a ball-playing defender. Which is to say, if he wasn't playing with the ball he was playing with the gonads of the opponents. Viva la Vinnie Jones.
As a manager, he stayed true to his prejudice.
The greatest trick Sam Allardyce ever pulled was convincing the world that British managers are football's second-class citizens.
In 92 football clubs in England, there are only 22 foreign managers plying their trade. Half of them find themselves in the top tier of the Premier League, while 6 of the 11 are the managers of top 6 clubs. This indicates two things: 1) The scarcity of foreign managers in the lower leagues, 2) the British managers still have wiggle room in the Premier League.
From the moment he's unceremoniously sacked, Sam gets himself on any and every TV or Radio programme that would tolerate him, and he sold his porkies to whoever would listen. And as it turns out, in Richard Keys and Andy Gray's (bigots and sexists both) radio show, Sam had a viewership base that would not only welcome, but also empathise with him.
Broadcasting out of Doha, Keys and Gray have strong views against immigrants in British football, but, otherwise, have no issues with the modern slavery of migrant workers used in building World Cup stadiums in Qatar. Amidst perfect hosts, Big Sam sang his favourite ditty on October 27th, 2017.
I'm never going to be at a top-four club because I'm not called Allardici. British football managers? We are second-class citizens, us. Feck Blackburn, I have the balls to manage Manchester United. I would win the Double or the league every time. You know what? Feck, United. Real Madrid is what I should be aiming at. But poor ol' me, I'm just called Sam Allardyce. Not glossy enough, innit? Us lot, we have nowhere to go. We are strangers in our own country, us. Treated like lepers. The Premier League? Listen, the clue it in the name. It's not the English League. It's sold it soul to Sheiks. Them branded managers wearing sissy mufflers and their Gucci suits, and their players wear snoods. Snoods! Good thing the FA banned the snoods. I hope they ban those full-sleeve shirts that double up as gloves. If you can't stand the British winters, sod off to sunny soddin' Spain! Anyway, listen, all this is standing in the way of bright-young British managers coming through… Think of the children! Big Sam did not say it so many words.
The old working-class man against the world bit makes his appointment seem like a moral obligation that well-meaning, patriotic English club owners must fulfil, as a means of giving back to society and right-ing their wrongs.
If history has taught us something, it's that if you tell lies often enough and with conviction, people start believing in them. Stats tells us that people who make the decisions in English football often do, more than most.
In a matter of a few weeks following that rant, Sam Allardyce (aged 63) was appointed the manager of Everton, and David Moyes (age 54), the manager of West Ham United, displacing Dutchman Ronald Koeman and Croatian Slaven Bilic, respectively.
Last December, Bournemouth were 0-2 down at half-time at the Vitality Stadium and in trouble against Juergen Klopp's hellhounds.
Liverpool were enjoying their best Christmas run of games in a long time, earning their third highest points total (37) in that period under the gregarious German – a tally bettered only by Roy Evans' entertainers in 1996, who took 38 points from 19 pre-Christmas games, and Rafa Benitez's Spanish armada in 2008, who collected the highest modern era pre-festive total of 39 from 18 games.
The match ended with Bournemouth winning 4-3, and Juergen Klopp conferring the title of 'Premier League's Most Exciting Manager' on 40-year-old Eddie Howe from the market town of Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
It took a foreigner to point out the true potential of a young British manager, whom the British managerial fraternity made a point to dismiss as a mild-mannered upstart. It didn't take long after Christmas for the papers to start linking Eddie to the Arsenal job, for which he, to this day, is being touted for.
Eddie Howe and the top brass at Bournemouth who nurtured him are, unfortunately, merely an anomaly.
To say that the decision-makers at English football clubs are a cowardly, unimaginative lot would be giving them undeserved kindness. Not only are they are devoid of original ideas, but they choose to play it safe, making their calls myopic .
The same reason can be postulated for David Moyes, who, with a record of less than half-a-dozen home wins in the past two years, with back-to-back-to-back failures at Manchester United, Real Sociedad and relegated Sunderland, still gets asked to come in by David Sullivan and David Gold.
Roy Hodgson's CV, a misplaced relic in time, with 22 managerial jobs with nondescript names like Neuchâtel Xamax, Orebro, Halmstads, Oddevold, Malmo and other great hipster hits, is opted for over others by Crystal Palace.
Short-termism is the only reason why Big Sam, only 7 years younger than Hodgson, despite his track record and more than damning scandals where his integrity has been called into question, finds himself being given his eighth last chance in the top tier.
Further down the rungs, 69-year-old Neil Warnock is living it up in his 17th job as a manager at Cardiff City.
Monopoly: There are 9 British/Irish managers in the Premier League. Only 1 of them is under 45. David Moyes (54), Sam Allardyce (63), Mark Hughes (54) and Roy Hodgson (70), aged between 50-70 have held 25 Premier League jobs between them.
Migrants, therefore, aren't blocking way of Britain's best and brightest young minds. This odious, old gang of middle-aged mafia is. Their monopoly is fouling up the place. These men are the masters of misdirection, playing a leading role in the self-fulfilling prophecy they bandy, caused by none but themselves, and blamed on others.
Sam and the HoofFellas are English football's un-flushables.


Directory Opus 11.4.1 (beta) is now available for all Opus 11 users.
Copying using non-buffered I/O is now disabled by default due to compatibility issues with certain devices. This will affect system cache memory usage while copying and may also affect copy speed (although it can be both better or worse, depending on your system, and probably won't make a huge difference to speed either way). If you wish to go back to how things were in the previous release, simply go to Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced and set copy_nonbufferio_threshold to 1 MB.
Possible fix for crash during startup if network shares were being created simultaneously.
Fix for RAR support not working on some machines unless the new RAR 5 (UnRar.dll) support was disabled.
Fixed crash which could occur when opening or flicking through several folder tabs pointing to junctions if the timing was just right.
The slide show speed can now be set to 0 which means "as fast as possible".
Filters can now be used to stop operations proceeding through junctions and soft links to folders. When filtering, the Subfolder clause can now contain a Type clause, which can be used to match "[Junctions/Links/Shortcuts]". The Type clause was always able to match those things, you just could not use it inside of Subfolder until now.
A few FSUtil scripting methods would go wrong if passed the path to a zip file (e.g. Exists("c:\blah.zip") would return False even if the file existed).
The ActivateTabData object now has oldtab and newtab properties as well as old and new (because new is a reserved keyword in JScript).
Added the Lister.custom_title property to get the custom title string (if any) as set by the Set LISTERTITLE command - this is distinct from the actual window title.
The OnBeforeFolderChange and OnAfterFolderChange scripting events weren't triggered if the new path was a virtual folder with no regular path string (e.g. Computer).


Born and raised in former East Germany, there is a profound optimism installed in us that a protest by the people can, and will, make a difference. The Umbrella Revolution is a very special and unique moment for Hong Kong. The HK student bodies stood up and instigated a movement of civil disobedience - something they doesn't happen very often in Hong Kong. I could not imagine a more amazing, creative and well organised protest. No cars were burned, no stores raided; people joined forces and made something very special happen. This movement has changed Hong Kong forever. In order to protect identities, I wont show any close-ups of protesters.

Porsche grows 2020 911 line with new base Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet
Most will agree, the new 2020 911 Carrera Cabriolet looks fabulous. (Photo: Porsche)
It's been less than a year since Porsche introduced the all-new eighth-generation 2020 911 at the LA auto show, and just seven months since the Cabriolet arrived, and now the German performance brand is readying those mid-range Carrera S models for production and upcoming deliveries this fall. Ahead of these 443 horsepower super cars, Porsche has just released photos and key information about a couple of 911 models that are a bit more down to earth, the more affordable base 911 Carrera Coupe and 911 Carrera Cabriolet.
The new entry-level 911 hardtop and soft-top models share the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder "boxer" engine as those "S" trims, but they incorporate a unique set of turbos for less performance. Still, 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque is no laughing matter, unless the thrill of quick acceleration makes you giggle. The first number adds 9 horsepower over the outgoing 2019 model, which results in a zero to 100km/h sprint time of just 4.2 seconds, or 4.0 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package. This is a significant move up from the outgoing base Carrera that was only capable of 4.6 or 4.2 seconds to 100km/h respectively.
A base model? Yes, it's hard to believe this gorgeous new 2020 Carrera Coupe is the most affordable 911. (Photo: Porsche)
Surprisingly, the new 911 Carrera will only be available with Porsche's new eight-speed dual-clutch PDK automatic transmission when it first arrives. This gearbox, which was originally announced for the Carrera S, adds one gear over the outgoing automatic, for stronger performance and improved fuel economy. Those who want the seven-speed manual will need to wait until later in the model.
The new Carrera Coupe's track speed is identical to the outgoing model at 293 km/h (182 mph), while the Cabriolet's terminal velocity is 291 km/h (181 mph). It's normal for a fabric-topped convertible to be slower at high speeds than its equivalent hardtop coupe, due to the cloth roof "ballooning" at high speeds, but Porsche incorporated magnesium surface elements dubbed "bows" within the redesigned roof's structure, so it manages wind more effectively.
By the way, that fabric roof, which is now bigger to accommodate for the 911's larger interior, can open and close at speeds of up to 50 km/h (30 mph), and only needs 12 seconds to do so thanks to a reworked hydraulic system. What's more, the updated process also extends an electrically extendable wind deflector so as to keep gusts of air from discomforting occupants.
Porsche promises a larger, more accommodating interior with greater refinement and more advanced technologies. (Photo: Porsche)
Inside that larger, more accommodating cabin, the new 911 Carrera receives a wholly renewed interior with a large 10.9-inch high-definition touchscreen on the centre stack, while an all-new safety feature dubbed "Wet Mode" provides greater control when it's raining or otherwise slippery.
All just-mentioned items come standard with the Carrera S, but take note the new base Carrera gets a smaller set of 19-inch alloys on 235/40 ZR performance tires up front, plus bigger 20-inch rims shod in 295/35 ZR rubber at the rear. Additionally, the base Carrera's 330-millimetre brake rotors are smaller than the Carrera S' discs, these biting onto black-coated four-piston monobloc fixed calipers for stopping power that should easily be up to task for dealing with this less potent car's overall performance. Also notable, the 911 Carrera's exhaust system gets unique individual tailpipe covers.
Transport Canada hasn't provided fuel economy specs for the new 2020 911 models yet, but Porsche claims its new base Coupe and Cabriolet will be capable of a 9.0 and 9.2 L/100km city/highway combined rating respectively, when calculated on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). We can expect slightly different numbers when our five-cycle rating system is applied.
Porsche's new eight-speed automatic will be standard until its seven-speed manual arrives later in the model year. (Photo: Porsche)
And what about pricing? Surprisingly the base 2020 911 Carrera Coupe's window sticker gets pushed up $7,000 over its predecessor, from $104,000 to $111,000, while the Cabriolet's starting price has been increased from $118,100 to $125,600, for a $7,500 increase. Then again, we need to factor in that the new eight-speed automated PDK transmission is now standard, and that prices will likely be lowered when the seven-speed manual arrives later in the model year.
Just the same, Porsche is probably hoping that the new 2020 911 Carrera's many enhancements will justify its sharp move up in price, but this said it will be interesting to witness how a more value-driven rival, like Chevy's new 526-horsepower mid-engine C8 Corvette that hits the road for a mere $69,998, might erode 911 sales. Granted, Porsche clientele, particularly 911 buyers, are not normally Corvette buyers, but the C8 is no normal Corvette, and its more exotic mid-engine layout and styling, stronger performance, and bargain basement price might lure in those who aren't as brand loyal.
This said, if you still want a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe or Cabriolet you can order it now and expect delivery early next year, while all-wheel drive C4 models will be available to order soon.
And while waiting, be sure to flick through all the photos we've gathered in our gallery above, plus enjoy the short video below:

Holiday packing can be boring, stressful and near impossible – but it's the challenge we all have to face before we get to the fun part. Unfortunately, travelling light and keeping your suitcase at a manageable weight can be difficult when you just can't resist taking five pairs of shoes (we've all been there). Try these practical tips to compress your packing, and remove the stress that goes along with it.

Die Siedlung Schulze-Delitzsch-Straße im Dresdner Stadtteil Tolkewitz ist ein ab 1927 errichteter, inzwischen denkmalgeschützter Wohnkomplex. Der Architekt war Carl Otto Reinhardt.

Geschichte und Beschreibung
Die von der Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft für Handwerk, Handel und Gewerbe in Dresden und Umgebung ab 1927 in zwei Etappen errichtete Siedlung ist ein Beispiel für expressionistische Einflüsse im Siedlungsbau. Es finden sich "expressionistische Formen und Motive" wie Goldkugeln, Zackensysteme oder Spitzbogen.

Die dreigeschossigen Gebäude werden vertikal durch vorspringende, risalitartige Treppenhäuser gegliedert. Die Ecken der Treppenturmhäuser sind spitzwinklig und zackenartig abgeschrägt. Vertikale Fensterbänder verlaufen über mehrere Geschosse und geben dem Treppenhaus das notwendige Licht. Goldene Kugeln bekrönen die Treppenturmhäuser. An den Tordurchfahrten am Siedlungseingang befinden sich Spitzbogen.

Ein Teil der Gebäude wurde bei den Luftangriffen auf Dresden 1945 zerstört. Der Wiederaufbau erfolgte bis 1957.

As this was agreed to be unacceptable in terms of its impact on the appearance of our streets Tandridge Council agreed to fund three cuts in 2018/19, but has decided it cannot afford to continue this into 2019/20, and invited parishes to consider paying for extra cuts if they wish.
Warlingham Parish Council had already budgeted to sustain the grass cutting service in the parish for 2019/20, and following discussions with Surrey to confirm the costs has now agreed to pay for two cuts so that there will be six cuts in all between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020. This should ensure the grass is kept down to an acceptable height.

Zora Neale Hurston's legacy lives on in Central Florida, beyond
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Zora Neale Hurston may now be considered the most significant Black woman writer of the first half of the 20th century, but at the time of her death, family members say she was penniless. Her 85-year-old niece, Vivian Hurston Bowden, said the writer died without any recognition for her now-acclaimed work. "Nobody knew her before her death," Bowden said. Her name is synonymous with Eatonville, but beyond growing up there, Hurston bounced around Central Florida writing her classics.

The Town that Freedom Built: The story of Eatonville, America's first official black town
EATONVILLE, Fla. — In 1887, during reconstruction, Eatonville, FL became the first official municipality in America that had been established by freed African-Americans. However, they wanted something of their own, and in 1887, Eatonville became the first black town to be officially incorporated into the United States. "The town was founded as a black haven," Nathiri says. On the front page of an 1888 edition of the "Eatonville Speaker," the author tried to recruit other black families, saying "Colored people of the United States! They were important in the founding of the city," Nathiri says.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Bob Gauthier has been named assistant coach of the Ohio State men's gymnastics staff, first-year head coach Rustam Sharipov announced Monday. Gauthier, who was an NCAA All-American at BYU (1984-85), completes the men's gymnastics staff for the Scarlet and Gray.

Let's not forget Zeppa
As the Soo Greyhounds seek to fill the roster spot of 1999 birth-year goalie Matthew Villalta — he is expected to turn pro within the National Hockey League farm system of the Los Angeles Kings — there are a number of newcomers in the mix ahead of the 2019-2020 Ontario Hockey League season.
During this off-season, the Soo traded for overage goalie Christian Propp, getting him from the North Bay Battalion.
And since the end of the 2018-2019 campaign, the Greyhounds have added Noah Zeppa via the under-18 draft and Nick Malik by way of the import draft. Both goalies have 2002 birth dates.
But while a Sault Ste. Marie media outlet has been pumping up both Propp and Malik in a big way, little mention has been made of Zeppa who, simply put, was the most valuable player in the Great North Midget Hockey League in 2018-2019 despite playing for a Soo team that won only 12 of 36 games.
Zeppa may or may not be a year away from possibly playing in the OHL. But let us not forget that he showed well at the Greyhounds evaluation camp in the spring and will be given every opportunity to show what he can do at main camp in the late summer.
Meanwhile, the Greyhounds do have a holdover in 2001 birth year backstop Ethan Taylor. Taylor was Villalta's little-used backup in 2018-2019.

Attending the Minnesota State Fair is a great way to experience all the things the state has to offer in one place. Besides the thousands of friendly faces, it has outstanding food, music and activities for people of all ages.
However, not to be a Debbie Downer, but all that fun comes at a price. It costs to park at the fair, eat at the fair, ride rides at the fair and take part in a lot of other activities. If you are coming in from out of town, you have to add gas and hotel accommodations to that list, as well.
What if we told you we could stretch your dollars and cents even farther for your yearly pilgrimage to the Great Minnesota Get-Together, would you be interested?
First, if you need hotel accommodations ditch the downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul options and stay at one of Richfield's four great hotels. Nightly room rates on average are $50 less a night compared to similar downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul rooms. Plus, these hotels have a lot of amenities, such as free breakfasts and pools that will save you money and add to your vacation fun.
Second, and we do not mean to be disparaging, but parking at the fair is for the birds. It costs $14 to park at the fair and that is a cost you incur even before you walk through the gates. Forget that nonsense! Ride the express bus that picks you up and drops you off in Richfield. It only costs $5 round trip and saves you the hassle of finding a place to park. Also, you can indulge in some of the great craft beers at the fair without having to worry about the drive home.
Lastly, if you need a break from the fair, Richfield has a variety of free activities you can take advantage of while you are here. The city is home to the Wood Lake Nature Center, which boasts 150-acres of natural habitat. The park features several wildlife viewing areas, a 100-seat amphitheater, a picnic ground, and three miles of trails and boardwalks. Most trails are wheelchair accessible. The city is also home to more than two dozen pieces of public art that can be viewed as part of a walking tour.
Pretty convincing, right? Do yourself a favor and save some money this fair season and stay in Richfield.
