Neumeyer last week, the community lost one of its most esteemed citizens. For 16 years he was pastor of the First Methodist Church in Mount Pul- aski, administering to the needs of his congregation and adding impetus to the moral fibre of our community. He always had a friendly smile and a kind word for everyone he met. He was greatly admired by his fellow ministers and his wisdom and wise words of counsel will for- ever remain a source of inspira- tion to all who knew him. To Mrs. Neumeyer and his family, the community wishes to express their appreciation for his many years of dedicated service. Mount Pulaski is a better place because he passed this way and those whose lives he touched will forever remember him with respect and love. The Reverend Frank E. New meyer, of Mt. Pulaski, passed away at the Christian Nursing Home in Lincoln Thursday morning 8:25 a.m. June 10, 1971, where he had been a patient for most of the past three years.

In skillet, toast almonds over medium-high heat, stirring and shaking pan often, until fragrant and light golden, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
In heatproof bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate chips until smooth; remove from heat.
Stir in almonds and toffee bits to coat.
Drop by 1 tbsp onto parchment paper–lined baking sheets; refrigerate until firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
Note: I did not have time to roast the almonds, so used it as is.
I melted the chocolate in the microwave in stead of in a saucepan.
No problem, and much easier and faster.

Two days of Green Party conference so far and it has to be one of the best I've been to. We voted unanimously against fracking, heard from Peter Pinkney, National President of the RMT, that they are supporting Caroline's re-election, and had superb speeches from Caroline, Natalie, Will and Jason.
Jason explained how the Brighton administration had met 75% of its manifesto targets during their first two years (and added that sticking by a manifesto is not something you see in other parties).
Natalie said: "We'll keep campaigning until the last food bank in Britain is closed because it's not needed anymore" and "we will bring Royal Mail back into public ownership"
Caroline told us of "The grotesque spectacle of Eton boys lecturing people on how to get on in life" and that "Labour's market reforms have paved the way for the Tories break-up of the NHS"
Will explained that "not only have the lunatics have taken over the asylum they are selling it off brick by brick", that "There is an alternative to LibDem cowardice and Labour laziness" and that "capitalism can't solve the climate crisis. Capitalism has failed environmentally, socially and economically"

Zacks Investment Research, a company founded in 1978 that helps investors with stock buying decisions using advanced financial data analytics algorithms, recently suffered a data breach that affected 820,000 customers. The incident occurred between November 2021 and August 2022, but it was not discovered until the end of last year. The investigation revealed that a threat actor had gained unauthorized access to the company's network and customer records, including full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and user passwords for the Zacks.com website. The type of information exposed in this data breach can be valuable for phishing actors and scammers, as it can be used to access Zacks accounts and any additional information stored on them. However, the company clarified that the incident only impacted customers of the Zacks Elite product who joined between November 1999 and February 2005, and that there is no evidence that financial data was exposed. After discovering the breach, Zacks initiated a password reset procedure for compromised accounts and implemented additional security measures on the network. The company is also working with an external cybersecurity specialist to develop and install more protection systems in the future. It's important for customers who were impacted by this incident to remain vigilant against incoming communications, as scammers can now use their personal information to conduct phishing attacks. Additionally, those using SMS-based 2FA to secure online investment accounts should switch to a different phone number or 2FA method, as the exposed data can be leveraged by SIM swappers to port the numbers on clone cards and take control of the protected accounts. It's also worth mentioning that this [data breach](http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23586688-1-24-2023-maine-sample-notice?responsive=1&title=1) highlights the importance of monitoring and securing sensitive data, especially for companies that deal with financial information. As data breaches continue to occur at an alarming rate, companies should take proactive steps to protect their networks and customer data, such as implementing robust security measures, conducting regular security audits, and providing employee training on cybersecurity best practices. Furthermore, companies should also consider implementing a incident response plan, which is a set of procedures and guidelines for identifying, responding, and reporting data breaches. This will enable them to quickly detect and respond to security incidents, minimize the damage caused, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

BSc, MPhil
DPhil Student
Prior to my current DPhil position, I achieved a BSc Anthropology from University College London, with a year abroad at the University of California, Berkeley. I then completed an MPhil Medical Anthropology at the University of Oxford.
My DPhil research works collaboratively between the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, and the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health. My supervisors are Dr Thomas Cousins and Prof. Katy Vincent.
My research explores hormonal contraceptive use in the contemporary UK healthcare landscape. Hormonal contraceptives are one of the most widely used drugs in history, with an estimated 100 million people worldwide currently using them. Side effects continue to be one of the main reasons why hormonal contraception is discontinued. However, few studies concentrate on what these side effects are and how they impact everyday life. A brief analysis of the current research gap concerning hormonal contraceptive side effects is available here; featuring a recent essay and artwork I completed.
The purpose of my research is to investigate what constitutes a 'side effect' from multiple actors across the UK healthcare landscape, from those who use hormonal contraception, those who prescribe them, their measurement in clinical trials, and their reference in health initiatives and policy. My research aims to provide user-generated data, collected using qualitative research methods, to impact current contraceptive research and innovation.


The eyes of the Wrestling world are glued to New Orleans (and the WWE Network) this weekend, in the build up to WrestleMania 34 on Sunday.
With the likes of Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousy, Triple H and Roman Reigns on the bill (not to mention the in-ring return of Daniel Bryan), it is set to be one of the biggest Wrestlemanias in history. For many fans one of the most intriguing matches on the stacked card is unquestionably the triple-threat match for the Intercontinental title, where the champion, The Miz faces off against the red hot Finn Balor and Seth "freakin'" Rollins.
For WWE Superstar Seth Rollins a victory would mean winning the prestigeous belt for the first time, and so Esquire Middle East sat down with him to discuss 'Mania weekend, his latest run, and what we can expect from the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble Show in Saudi Arabia on April 27.
Once you've done it a couple of times you get used to the size and scale of everything. It's important to find your groove, but it's still Wrestlemania, it's still exciting and gets bigger and bigger every year. I'm still a kid inside somewhere so I don't it will ever not feel special.
People make a lot of "Wrestlemania moments". You had one when you cashed in the Money In The Bank contract at WrestleMania 31. Do you think that will be an iconic moment, like Hogan slamming Andre, to a whole generation of fans?
It's pretty sick when you look at it that way. I have a tonne of memories watching Mania growing up, so to think that my moment will be iconic to the next generation of kids is pretty cool.
You've been on a hot streak in 2018. What has made you kick it up a notch?
I think people forgot about how good I was. So this year I was given the opportunity to show that I can still hang. When the lights are the brightest, that's when I'm at my best. I like the pressure, I like the spotlight, and I want to keep going out there reminding people that I am the best in the world. At the moment, I'm as good as I've ever been.
You wrestled for 65-minutes in a gauntlet match on Raw in February. That's the longest anyone has ever wrestled in a match in the show's 25-year history. How proud are you of that?
It had been almost a decade since I had last wrestled for little over a hour. I did a couple of them in Ring of Honour where they were around 45 minutes, 50 minutes to an hour, so it had been a while since I have done that and this was a totally different animal. It is multiple matches, multiple opponents and you are on a television show. That was something different to anything I had ever done and to set that record was something special.
Because of injuries, last year's reunion of the legendary faction that you were involved in, The Shield, did not go as planned. Is there disappointment there?
I think the cool thing I think we learned about it was that The Shield are always going to be there. Never say never. When the time is right we will get back to it. It is kind of like DX in that way. It is never going to go away. As long as me, Ambrose and Roman are still around kicking, screaming and fighting you can throw us together.
How much are you looking forward to the Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah?
I'm looking forward to the chaos! It's going to be a huge event, and the promotion alone has been nuts! It's going to be a crazy WWE Network special with 50 people in a Royal Rumble match, and on top of that, I'll be in a 4-way ladder match. I've always had fun every time I've been to the Middle East, so let's just get there and see how the chaos happens.
A 50-man rumble match means that it will be the biggest in history. Does that hold the same importance as being a Royal Rumble winner?
I donno! Your answer is as good as mine! It's the first one ever, and 50 is better than 40! If you can outlast 49 other guys, then does that make you better than Nakamura? We'll see what happens.
This is a big deal with Saudi, and arguably an important step in changing the opinions on the country from the outside world. How much do you sense that as a performer?
I don't know anything about the political implications of it, but I will tell you that Middle East fans have been super receptive every time we've been over and I hope that an event of this magnitude will work to attract more eyeballs to what we do, and attract more attention from the other countries in the region. I hope it's going to be a good experience for us, and the fans. Every time we go over there is is awesome, and I am expecting nothing less.


New Delhi, April 17 (IANS) Aviation experts are divided on whether the government's move to allot the now-grounded Jet Airways' slots to rival domestic carriers would impact buyer sentiment.
While the government has maintained that the slots given to other airlines could be taken back on a month's notice, experts said it may not be easy given that airlines would book 3-6 months advance tickets for these flights.
"If asked to return, these airlines may argue that a large number of passengers would be inconvenienced by withdrawal of flights. There is certainly the possibility of delay in returning the slots," an industry source said.
Deepak Jasani, Senior Vice President and Head, Retail Research, HDFC Securities, however, does not see any problem in the temporary re-allocation of slots. He also dismissed the apprehension of buyer interest being impacted by this.
"The airlines, which are getting the slots now, will have to vacate them once Jet Airways is again ready to operate flights. They originally belong to Jet and they have not surrendered them," Jasani told IANS.
"The investors and prospective buyers of Jet Airways are aware of this and they will do their due diligence on what they can get and what they can not get," he added.
Another senior industry executive who did not wish to be named said that while on one side, public sector banks are trying to revive the airline, on the other, slots are being given to rival airlines.
"This is very unfair treatment. If majority of the slots at the busiest Delhi and Mumbai airports go from Jet Airways to other airlines, investors would certainly be put off, " he said.
Meanwhile, at least two private airlines that have got additional slots said that they were taking bookings till July-end for now.
Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has been giving slots to other airlines to mount capacity to fill the gap created by the suspension of Jet Airways' operations. The move is aimed at bringing additional capacity in the market before fares start soaring as a result of demand-supply mismatch.
According to industry sources, the country's largest airline IndiGo has got nearly 20 slots while rival low-cost carrier SpiceJet bagged 16. Air India, Vistara and Air Asia India have also been allotted slots to start new flights.
Battling survival, Jet Airways has suspended operations for want of cash for fuel and other expenses. The airline's fleet has shrinked to a skeletal 5 from the peak of 119.
The airline's lenders are currently in the process of selling their stakes in the company to recover the loans of about Rs 8,400 crore.
SBI Caps, the merchant banking arm of the lead lender SBI, is mandated to complete the stake sale process.

Hip fracture is a debilitating condition – only one in three sufferers return to their former levels of independence and one in three ends up leaving their own home and moving to long-term care. Hip fractures are almost as common and costly as strokes and the incidence is rising. In the UK, about 75000 hip fractures occur annually at an estimated health and social cost of about £2 billion a year. The incidence is projected to increase by 34% in 2020, with an associated increase in annual expenditure.
Latest data for the year to March 2017 shows that the rate of hip fractures for people aged 65+ in Shropshire is 550 per 100,000. This rate is lower than the average for England which was 575. In previous years the rate in Shropshire has been higher than the national average. Shropshire has an aging population with high rates of elderly who are more prone to accidents and hip fractures. Targeted work through the Better Care Fund is taking place to help reduce emergency admissions due to accidental falls.

Q: In Excel, is there a function that returns a cell value that is in the same row (different column) as a user specified cell? On Sheet1, range A1:B6, I have a table like this one:
Code Position
   1 Goalkeeper
   2 Defender
   3 Midfielder
   4 Winger
   5 Forward

What I want is to get a code for a certain position when I enter it on another sheet. Is there a function that does this? I tried with DGET() but it kept returning #VALUE! AND #NUM!. So I was forced to use IF(). However, it's not a very pretty solution.
=IF(S2=Sheet1!$B2;1;
  IF(S2=Sheet1!$B3,2;
    IF(S2=Sheet1!$B4,3;
      IF(S2=Sheet1!$B5,4;
        IF(S2=Sheet1!$B6,5;)))))

Now imagine this with a 25 rows table.
Clarification: S2 is a cell on another sheet in which Position is entered.

A: Enter the following in S2
=MATCH(T2, Sheet1!$B$2:$B$6,0)
You can drag this formula down. It returns the relative position of the specified player's 'Position' in the range i.e. B2:B6 in this case.
e.g. GoalKeeper is first so the formula will return 1.

More Bank Holiday articles & pheeds
A Bank Holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom. Although there is no legal right to time off on these days, the majority of the population not employed in essential services (e.g. utilities, fire, ambulance, police, health-workers) receive them as holidays. They are called bank holidays because they are days upon which banks are (or were) shut and therefore (traditionally) no other businesses could operate.
The US equivalent is a Federal Holiday.
It has been noted (for example in an essay published by the Fabian Society) that the number of holidays in the UK is relatively small compared to the number in many other European countries.
1 History of Bank Holidays
2 Current Bank Holidays
History of Bank Holidays
Prior to 1834, the Bank of England observed about thirty-three saints' days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was drastically reduced to just four: Good Friday, 1st May, 1st November, and Christmas Day.
In 1871, the first legislation relating to bank holidays was passed when Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holiday Act 1871 which specified the days as in the following table. Scotland was treated separately because of its separate traditions; for instance, New Year or Hogmanay is a more important holiday there.
England, Wales, Ireland
Whit Monday First Monday in May
First Monday in August First Monday in August
Boxing Day Christmas Day
Note that Good Friday and Christmas Day were not specified for England, Wales and Ireland because they were already recognized as common-law holidays there.
In 1903, the Bank Holiday (Ireland) Act added 17th March, Saint Patrick's Day, as a bank holiday for Ireland only.
Current Bank Holidays
It was then not until exactly a century after the 1871 Act that the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 was passed; it is still in effect today. The table below details the bank holidays specified in the 1971 Act; also listed are two additional bank holidays introduced since 1971, which are deemed bank holidays by the legal device of a royal proclamation every year. This same device is also routinely used to shift bank holidays that would otherwise fall on a weekend. (This is why diaries often have to resort to the phrase 'subject to confirmation' since theoretically there might not be such a royal proclamation.) The two additional days now routinely added since 1971 are New Year's Day and the Early May Bank Holiday (except in Scotland, where they are the Spring Bank Holiday and Boxing Day).
1 January New Year's Day
2 January (Scotland only)
17 March St Patrick's Day (Northern Ireland only)
The Friday before Easter Sunday Good Friday
The day after Easter Sunday Easter Monday (not Scotland)
First Monday in May Early May Bank Holiday
Last Monday in May Spring Bank Holiday
12 July Battle of the Boyne - Orangemen's Day (Northern Ireland only)
First Monday in August Summer Bank Holiday (Scotland only)
Last Monday in August Summer Bank Holiday (not Scotland)
25 December Christmas Day
26 December or 27 December(1) Boxing Day
Strictly, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas, so it cannot fall on a Sunday. If Christmas Day is a Saturday, then Boxing Day is the following Monday, although in practice, this nicety is often ignored.
A number of pecularities apply to bank holidays in Scotland. Firstly, it is noteworthy (and a considerable surprise to many) that Easter Monday is not a bank holiday there. Also, although they share the same name, the Summer Bank Holiday falls on the first Monday of August in Scotland and the last elsewhere in the UK.
More importantly, bank holidays have never assumed the same importance in Scotland. Whereas they have effectively become public holidays elsewhere in the UK, in Scotland there remains a tradition of public holidays based on local tradition and determined by local authorities. To complicate matters further, in 1996, Scottish banks made the business decision to harmonize their own holidays with the rest of the UK. Thus bank holidays in Scotland are neither public holidays nor the days on which banks are closed!

Glenis runs English classes ones a week at Arimathea Trust. She plays an essential role in integrating refugees and asylum seekers into the society by teaching them the national language, enabling them to feel more confident, and making them able to speak for themselves and meet people. We are so grateful for the work that Glenis has done for us as it has enabled our residents to communicate with support staff about issues that are affecting them and also to feel more integrated in the British society. Without good English teachers it can be difficult for refugees and asylum seekers to integrate and to feel comfortable in their new country. Glenis has volunteered at NAT for around a year. She got involved by joining Skills Exchange and heard about Arimathea through it. She came along to the AGM (Annual General Meeting). She then adds "When I lost my teaching job I rang NAT to ask them if it would be of use to have me teaching English at the organisation." When we asked her what had she gained from her experience from volunteering she said she gained confidence in herself and learned that her language skills could make a positive difference in people's lives. She finally adds "I love giving and it gives me so much to give!". Talking about the difficulties she encounters in her job, she says "My hearing is not so good anymore and I get tired easily now that I am older, but that's why two hours of class a week is alright!" (she laughs). She says she is very well supported at NAT and adds "Now I have an assistant, it's wonderful!" (she laughs again). Well done to this hard working lady!


"Over the years, the combined stress from homes, agriculture, and invasive plants took their toll on lower Little Butte Creek. It resembled more of a ditch that a salmon stream. The recent remeandering and riparian restoration work along the creek near the confluence with the Rogue River was the perfect prescription. It is providing a huge boost for salmon, steelhead, and lamprey, water quality, and riparian-dependent birds. This project provides a great template for additional work on Little Butte and other valley bottom streams in Rogue."
After a major flooding event in 1955, Little Butte Creek was transformed from a winding stretch of slow-moving creek to a narrow, high-velocity straightaway under the belief that water should be moved quickly from the area. Disconnected from its floodplain, this turbulent waterway provided no safe haven for fish during high-water events, and its steep, artificial berms provided little shade, leading to high summer water temperatures.
In 2007, a manager at the Denman Wildlife Area began to explore the possibility of reconnecting the creek to its meandering channel. Although Little Butte Creek was a shadow of its former self, it was still one of the Rogue River Valley's most important salmon streams. Improvements to the creek would create critical new rearing and spawning habitat for Coho and Chinook, giving these important fish a population boost. But the impacts of stream restoration could extend even beyond wildlife habitat improvements, providing additional flood protection to the downstream communities of Gold Hill, Rogue River, and Grants Pass.
After several years of preparation, work on the project began in the summer of 2011. Freeways for Fish acted as the project manager, engaging construction and design firms, managing permitting, and overseeing the work itself. The project was staffed with almost 100% local contractors, amplifying the impact of the project on the local community.
Over the next three months, crews excavated the new, old channel for Little Butte Creek, installed three riffles, constructed 13 large wood jams, and planted willows to give the system a jump start on creating complex habitat.
To create new habitat ideal for willows and other riparian plant populations, construction workers used coir logs and matting to create streamside native soil lifts that resist erosion before vegetation becomes established. The lifts were planted with willow shoots, and designed to encourage rapid and healthy vegetative growth.
Designed to slow water flow and create stable banks, workers also installed logs extending from the stream banks into the river at a slightly downstream angle. The portion of the logs resting on the stream banks were covered in sod mats salvaged from the excavation of the new channel. Sod mats encourage the growth of lush vegetation, while the wood structures protruding into the stream capture fine substrate and reinforce the channel edge.
After earthmoving was complete, the newly formed banks were planted with dozens of species of native trees and shrubs to minimize erosion, develop shade, create velocity refuge for fish during flood events, and provide food sources for juvenile fish.
Returning the channel to its former course added nearly half a mile to Little Butte Creek, and dramatically improved the quality of the habitat for native fish (particularly salmon and steelhead). Stream channel restoration also expanded the amount of floodplain area along the stream's banks, which will help dampen the effects of flooding and make for better wildlife habitat.

[Viewpoint]Know thy neighbor
The Beijing Olympic Games have come to an end. I am truly proud of the outstanding performances of Korean athletes. During the Games, I cried several times. When the national flag, the Taegeukgi, is hoisted and the national anthem, "Aegukga," is played, I cannot hold back my tears. You are supposed to rejoice in moments of victory, but I suspect that my DNA is encoded to respond to Aegukga with tears.
I did not experience the oppressive occupation of Japan. Nevertheless, I inherited the devastation of poet Lee Sang-hwa, who sang "Does spring come to a lost land?" and the longing of Sim Hun, who said, "When the day of [liberation] comes, I will be happy to knock my head against the brass bell in Jongno and break my skull."
I am imprinted with the shame of King Injo of Joseon, who kneeled in front of Huang Taiji of Qing China, bowed three times and dropped his head nine times. I have also inherited the frustration of King Gojong as he was overpowered by Yuan Shikai, who insisted that Joseon belonged to Qing. The king had to get permission from China to dispatch delegates abroad.
Maybe, I still haven't gotten over the starving days from my childhood when it was hard to get through the winter. I do not want to pass this tearful DNA down to the next generation. They should be able to experience happiness without tears. The athletes and the children of the young generation are already changing. The older generation has a duty to protect the liberty and confidence of the youngsters. In order to do that, we need to preserve the country's integrity.
It is crucial for Korea to maintain good relationships with its neighbors. The problem is that Korea is a small country and the relationships are beyond its control. The desires of neighboring nations often overpower Korea because its neighbors are more powerful.
Therefore, if we are going to preserve our integrity, we must build up power. Our fate cannot be left at the mercy of our neighbors any longer.
Let's look at the case of the Dokdo dispute with Japan. We cannot play it down as a provocation of Japanese right-wing extremists. Japan already has a wide sea and countless islands but it still insists that it owns Dokdo. If the right-wing extremists come into power in Japan, there is no guarantee that there won't be a war over Dokdo, just as Japan started the Pacific War.
Think about the attitude of the Chinese toward Koreans during the Olympics. It is eerie how the Chinese rooted for the Japanese baseball team instead of the Korean one.
Given the forces at play, a diplomacy of balance sounds plausible. Korea can survive by maintaining balance between China, Japan and Russia.
President Roh Moo-hyun advocated playing the role of mediator in the region. However, a mediator has to have power as well. Britain was able to play a decisive role in the contest of power between Germany and France because it had influence in Europe.
There was an attempt at mediation during the Great Han Empire. Korea deliberated siding with Russia and rejecting China or using the influence of Japan and China to block Russia. In the end, Joseon was powerless and China, Japan and Russia discussed dividing the country along the 39th parallel. Being stuck among powerful nations, Korea needs something more than mere power.
China, Japan and Russia might all be neighbors, but Korea has to prioritize its national interests. When determining diplomatic policies, we need to keep in mind several principles. The first is whether the country in question shares Korean values. The spirit of Korea's constitution is to respect individual liberty and human rights, to practice parliamentary democracy and defend the market economy. Second, we need to refer to historical experience. We should consider which of these nations has obstructed Korea's self reliance and independence in the past. History is bound to repeat itself.
Third, we need to solemnly look at the reality of power plays in international politics. Why does Ukraine want to join the EU and NATO when Russia is located right next to it, and why does Georgia want to hold hands with the United States? No matter how friendly and nice a giant might be, you will live in fear if it lives right next to you. You need another powerful friend close in order to curb your neighbor.
Chinese president Hu Jintao and Korean president Lee Myung-bak declared a strategic partnership between the two countries. I wonder whether the Korea-China strategic partnership does not collide with the Korea-U.S. alliance. The country should not be divided into pro-China, pro-U.S., pro-Russia and pro-Japan factions like it was 100 years ago. The pro-China and pro-U.S. crowds have already started to fall out.
We are helpless if the country collapses from within because internal division will strengthen the hands of external forces. The government should not confuse its citizens in the name of pragmatic diplomacy.

Q: Is it correct to use a comma in the following case?
The detectives couldn't help each other. Perhaps this "madness"—despite coming from the same source,
  investigating crime scenes—was different for each of them.

I'm not sure whether the comma between the em dashes is correct. Is the comma the right choice for this example?

A: "despite coming from the same source, investigating crime scenes" is a parenthetical statement. Within that, "investigating crime scenes" is another parenthetical statement. Using different delimiters for each statement (em dashes for the first level, and a comma for the second) is appropriate.
It could be punctuated differently, e.g.:

The detectives couldn't help each other. Perhaps this
  "madness" (despite coming from the same source - investigating crime
  scenes) was different for each of them.

Dominique Diur (1929—1980) was a Congolese and Katangese politician who was one of the founders of the CONAKAT party.

Early life
Diur grew up in the Belgian Congo. His father was a dignitary of the chieftaincy of Kayembe Mukulu. He followed his primary education at the Catholic mission of Sandoa, he then continued to the Franciscan small seminary of Luabo, and later the Scheut major seminary of Kabue, Kasai. He followed advanced education in law at the Benedictines in Élisabethville. After his studies, he followed an internship at the Belgian Ministry of Justice.
Diur started his professional career at the Belgian Congo Radio in Élisabethville, before working at the local court (Juridiction indigène). He was elected as a municipal councillor for the Élisabethville commune of Kenya in 1957 and reelected in 1959.
Diur was a member of Gassomel (Groupement des associations mutuelles de l'Empire Lunda), a Lunda organisation. In 1958, a group of young évolués with an anti-Kasaian mindset including Diur, Évariste Kimba, Albert Nyembo, and Godefroid Munongo, grouped together to form CONAKAT. The first meeting leading to the creation of Conakat took place at Diur's house. The statutes were also drafted at his house.

State of Katanga
Congo became independent on 30 June 1960. Eleven days later, Katanga's governor Moïse Tshombe declared the independence of the State of Katanga from the mainland. Diur became the chef de cabinet of Katangese Minister of Justice Valentin Ilunga. Diur applied for the position of Katangese Minister for Foreign Affairs, but Kimba was chosen instead. Godefroid Munongo namely opposed his nomination.

In December 1960, Diur attended an anti-communist conference, organised by Suzanne Labin, at the NATO headquarters in Paris, France. He stayed in the city to establish the permanent delegation of Katanga in France on , not far from NATO and the Eiffel Tower. The appointment came at a time when Katanga sought to intensify its ties with France. French Prime Minister Michel Debré sent out SDECE officer  to Élisabethville, and accepted an official visit by Diur.

Lualaba Province
On 28 May 1963, after the end of the Katangese secession, Diur was thrown in jail by Godefroid Munongo on charges of misappropriating public funds, but released by the new Interior Minister. At the time of his release, he ran for President of the Lualaba Province against Moïse Tshombe's brother Thomas. He was elected as the President, from 1965 the governor, of the province. He held office from 23 September 1963 until 24 April 1966. During his time as the provincial governor, the construction of an omnisport stadium began in the province's capital Kolwezi.

Later life
In April 1966, the Lualaba province was merged with Katanga Oriental into one province of South Katanga. Diur's rival Godefroid Munongo became its governor, with Diur as vice-governor. When intelligence reports (and a series of articles in Jeune Afrique) showed that a mercenary training camp, favourable to the exiled Tshombe, existed in the Ardèche, France, Munongo and Diur were suspended. Munongo was thrown in jail, but Diur was cleared on 25 December 1966. Diur professed his loyalty to new president Joseph-Désiré Mobutu in 1967, as a Provincial Commissioner, but was instead assigned to the Interior Ministry under Minister Etienne Tshisekedi. From there, he would be nominated to the powerful Political Bureau (Bureau politique) of the state party MPR in March 1969. Already towards the end of 1970, he had to leave the Bureau. He died in Lubumbashi in 1980.

Legacy
On 26 September 2020, the stadium in Kolwezi was reinaugurated after a long period of dilapidation, as the Stade Dominique Diur, located at the renamed Avenue Dominique Diur. The modernisation of the building was entrusted to a subsidiary of the Forrest Group.

Tapping out: B.C. Morse Telegraph Club says goodbye to an era
11734323_web1_180503-SNW-M-Johnson-and-Shaw-1024x683.jpg
Tom Zytaruk, May 3, 2018 12:30 p.m.
Are you reading this story in print? Or perhaps on your smartphone, that indispensable device you ritualistically pin your eyes to every day and night?
One day, that oh-so-important gadget will surely become an anachronism as new modes of communication take over. One day, you might well find yourself explaining to your grandchildren or great-grandchildren what it was like to use an Android or iPhone as you view, from behind the display case glass in some dusty museum, a rare specimen that survived the march of time unbroken.
As the Good Book says, we're all dust in the wind, and that applies to technology as well. Take, for example, Morse Code telegraphy, a system of text messaging consisting of dots and dashes, combinations of which represent letters or numerals. Considered to be one of humankind's top 10 inventions, well before there were telephones, fax machines or computers, Morse Code beepity-beeped from a tapping device called a "straight key" along telegraph lines to bring people news of births and deaths, weddings, tragedy and joy, emergencies and disasters, and other news of personal and global import. This medium of communication was, in a word, indispensable.
But that was then.
The last surviving members of the B.C. Chapter of the Morse Telegraph Club held their final meeting on Thursday, April 26, in room A123 of the Oasis building at Fleetwood's Elim Village retirement community, saying goodbye to this important era in the history of communications.
"We're dying off. There's very few of us left," member Chris Naylor, 87, bluntly explained. When it comes to words, the elderly generally don't kid around.
"It is the closing of an era," he said. "Nobody knows Morse Code any more."
It's named after inventor Samuel F.B. Morse who, along with physicist Joseph Henry and engineer Alfred Vail, created the electrical telegraph system in 1836.
This means of communication played an immense role in critical moments in history — such as the RMS Carpathia receiving Titanic's wireless distress call to save 705 souls, and train dispatcher Vince Coleman bravely sacrificing his own life to alert an incoming passenger train to the imminent Halifax explosion in 1917, saving nearly 300 lives.
Locally, the first telegraph message sent along a line linking the U.S. with New Westminster, by way of the Kennedy Trail, brought news of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
The last train order sent by telegraph in North America was in the mid-1980s.
The surviving members of B.C.'s club marked the bittersweet occasion of putting their going concern to rest with a cake that was decorated with a small straight key and the words "What Hath God Wrought."
It's a phrase from Numbers 23:23 in the Bible and was the first message Morse dispatched, on May 24, 1844, witnessed by the U.S. Congress and sent from Washington D.C. to a railroad station in Baltimore, Maryland.
The 21 people present at Surrey's luncheon and final meeting — those 10 remaining members who could make it, some of them accompanied by their adult children — sat solemn as retired Lutheran pastor Alfred Johnson, 92, tapped out grace on a straight key, thanking God, by way of dots and dashes, and beepity-beeps, "for the privilege we had to be part of this wonderful system of communication which the Morse Code has been."
Johnson worked as a telegrapher while attending seminary and raising two children. He started his career as a Morse telegrapher in 1944, as an assistant station agent with the Northern Alberta Railways in Hythe, Alberta at age 18.
After lunch, the club's final business was done, finances were sorted out, and members decided to donate the remaining $78.28 in the kitty to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

Canada May be the Best Place for Hams to Experience the Solar Eclipse, Says VE7DXW
Alex Schwarz, VE7DXW, who developed the online Scanning RF Seismograph to determine which bands are open, is among the many looking forward to the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Although the path of totality will move over Oregon then southeastward toward South Carolina, he believes radio amateurs north of the border can take advantage of this "very exciting celestial event," as those in the US will be doing, and may have an edge of sorts. Members of the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) in the US will sponsor a Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) to conduct their own research.

"This will be spectacular when viewed with our eyes," Schwarz said. "The effects of the solar radiation on the propagation of radio waves will be equally or more exciting." Schwarz said it may appear that Canada won't be a part of the solar eclipse, but British Columbia (BC) will have up to 95% coverage, he pointed out.
"As the solar eclipse is moving over the planet, it is leaving a canyon of de-ionized gas on the ionosphere in altitudes of about 100 to 300 kilometers," Schwarz said. "This puts Canada -- and especially Ontario -- in a very good position to get really long signal paths to the horizon toward the south. Southern Ontario will be in the best location to make contacts into the southern and western US and Central America. In southern BC, we can aim our antennas right down the length of the propagation anomaly and reach the Caribbean and southeastern US." Schwarz said timing is important, because the gas will ionize again after the solar shadow has passed. The entire passage across North America will be approximately 90 minutes.
Schwarz said that during the 1999 solar eclipse in Europe, radio amateurs recorded long-distance contacts on 160 and 80 meters. "We want to inform all amateurs about the opportunity of experiencing the solar eclipse on a totally different level by operating radios in their shacks," he said.

Schwarz encouraged all ham radio clubs to participate in the opportunity, not only to view the eclipse but to experience its effects on radio propagation.

60M propagation experiment
Olivia_60M.jpg
This weekend I decided to become part of an interesting 60M propagation experiment being led by a bunch of keen Albertan hams. The image at left shows which beacons I heard, and which monitoring stations heard my beacon, over the past 24 hours.
From Al, VE6RFM: "The objective of our 60M Experiment is to evaluate the band as a viable HF communications link between remote communities and larger centers throughout the Northern Canada Auroral Zone. To accomplish this, we are gathering a team of interested individuals in various locations to beacon, and to monitor beacons from other stations throughout the region. Beacons heard will be spotted to PSK Reporter and the PSK Reporter data will automatically update our central data base every 15 minutes. Solar weather data will also be updated in our central database every 15 minutes. Beacons heard, and solar conditions observed, will then be displayed graphically on a common time base. The graphs will show us beacons heard by any station and the existing solar conditions at any given time. From this information we are hoping to learn what solar conditions need to exist to support a reasonable communications path, and what conditions will not."

For club members active in HF digital this is pretty easy to set up, especially if you are already using FLdigi as your software suite. It took me about an hour or so to work through configuring FLdigi and the FLdigi Beacon Scheduler and then I was on the air beaconing using Olivia 4-250 on 60M. I plan to leave my station on for the next couple weeks (more use that it has probably seen in the past year!) and see how things go -- as we approach the solar minimum this should be a "worst case scenario" period of time to do the research. If you are interested in giving this a try it is pretty simple to build a 60M dipole.

Plans for new repeater packages on Lolo and Greenstone
rtcm2-750.jpg
As mentioned at the last club meeting, I am working on building two new repeater packages - one for Greenstone, and one for Lolo - to replace the existing aging and frequently failing repeaters. With a lot of help from Lee, VE7FET, we are in the process of planning how the new repeater systems will work and what equipment will be needed. For those members interested, I will provide some links below to information on the software, hardware, and interfaces that we will be putting together over the next couple months. Stay tuned to these pages for more information and updates as things progress.
I have also been working on building some Raspberry Pi-based APRS and Winlink Packet gateways which will also be part of the repeater upgrades. The Raspberry Pi boards are connected to two TNC-Pi boards which are each connected to a VHF radio. The Raspberry Pi will run Xastir for APRS, and LinuxRMS for the VHF packet gateway to the Winlink system. The two radios will share a single antenna, using a Sinclair Q2222 duplexer.

VE7RKA repeater update
RLC-3.jpg
After several trips to Greenstone Mountain and a lot of troubleshooting and testing the conclusion is that the RLC-3 repeater controller has a bad CPU. This means that we can only have one link enabled at a time (for example, the IRLP node).
Please DO NOT use the *A1 all links on DTMF command.
At present the repeater is configured to enable the IRLP node (*5541) so that people can use the IRLP. If you wish to use the North or East links, please follow these instructions:
To use the North Link: Send the DTMF command *A0 (Star A Zero) and wait for the repeater to reply with "All Links Off". Send the DMTF code *3961 to enable the North Link. When you have completed your QSO please send *A0, wait for the message, and then send *5541 to re-enable the IRLP link.
To use the East Link: Send the DTMF command *A0 (Star A Zero) and wait for the repeater to reply with "All Links Off". Send the DMTF code *8321 to enable the East Link. When you have completed your QSO please send *A0, wait for the message, and then send *5541 to re-enable the IRLP link.
If more than one link is active you will likely hear a choppy, interrupted audio coming from the repeater. Should you hear this, please send the DTMF command *A0 (Star A Zero) to turn off all links. You may then enable the IRLP link with command *5541.
If you have any questions, or hear any issues on the VE7RKA repeater, please contact Myles, VE7FSR at (250) 318-5150.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi rumor suggests a Luke vs Snoke battle
May 19, 2017 May 20, 2017 shanna All, Star Wars
A brand new rumor has just sprung up and this time, it points towards an epic battle. This battle will supposedly take place in the Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie . Here are all of the details on this new rumor.
This rumor comes from Making Star Wars editor-in-chief Jason Ward. He's published some details on the upcoming movie which were shared with him by his sources. While he revealed quite a bit of information, one piece in particular has lit the internet ablaze with thoughts, suggestions and hope.
Ward revealed that "Luke is going for Snoke and Rey is going for Kylo." When he asked his source whether or not they believe this to be true, the person replied that "they didn't know for sure."
While it's uncertain how Luke will get to this point, there have been previous rumors suggesting something similar. Rumors from earlier this year state that Leia would fight Snoke after she's captured by Captain Phasma.
Neither of these rumors have been commented on by Lucasfilm so they're both currently just rumors. Hopefully the company will make an announcement at some point to confirm one of these rumors. For now, Star Wars fans will need to wait until the film is released to discover the truth.
Ward also reveals that Luke will carry some interesting equipment in the movie. This includes a special compass which is said to be important in the current trilogy of movies however, there are no details on this. In addition to this, Luke will have a cattle prod-style weapon which is used for both combat and walking.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is currently expected for a December 17th release date so fans shouldn't have to wait too long to discover the truth behind these rumors and new details.
We will provide you with updates about the new Star Wars movie as the release date approaches.

Tailgating ranked as the biggest cause of driver distraction
Mark Salisbury Jun 22, 2022
Wednesday, June 22, 2022 - 09:04
General News, News, Newsletter, Road Safety, Secondary News
Being followed too closely by other drivers is the behaviour that distracts motorists most on Britain's roads, latest research reveals.
A survey commissioned by the UK's leading independent road safety charity, IAM RoadSmart, asked 1,000 motorists to rank a series of occurrences on how distracting they are, with one in three (30 per cent) of the drivers surveyed deeming tailgating to be the most distracting factor.
The research comes in the wake of figures from National Highways revealing that tailgating is a factor in 1 in 8 crashes on their road network.
Neil Greig, Director of Policy and Research at IAM RoadSmart, commented: "The sight of a fellow driver in your rear-view mirror following too closely can be very disconcerting, and our survey shows it is the leading cause of driver distraction on Britain's roads.
"However, it is clear that tailgating is not just a minor inconvenience, with figures from Highways England revealing that far too many people are being left scared, angry and frustrated by the aggressive and reckless behaviour of tailgaters.
"It is worth remembering that you will cover 62 metres every two seconds when travelling at 70 miles per hour, meaning you need around 96 metres to stop, making adequate stopping distances absolutely critical to curtail the tailgating problem."
Tailgating was closely followed by children or other passengers as the second most distracting occurrence, with one in four (26 per cent) agreeing that having others in the car can affect their ability to focus on their driving.
The survey also revealed that traffic is a significant source of distraction for motorists, with one in five (21 per cent) rating this as a factor that disconcerts them.
Neil concluded: "Whether it be from reckless behaviour from another road user, or even a screaming child, distractions while driving can come in many different forms. Drivers should always take control and do all they can to mitigate for them. This way, together we can all ensure Britain's roads are as safe as they can possibly be."

Melbourne Ballet one night only performance
One of the Central Coast's premier entertainment venues, Laycock Street Community Theatre, is proudly hosting the Melbourne Ballet Company (MBC)'s esteemed production of Archè for a one night only event on Thursday 26 May at 7.30pm.
Archè is a Greek word which indicates the beginning; the force that explains birth and death.
Premiering in Melbourne in 2015, Archè takes inspiration from the age-old classic Swan Lake, with the performance exploring and embracing much of the original story and some of the classical repertoire. It also takes inspiration from the Greek Myth Leda and the Swan.
Council's Director Community Growth, Judy Jaeger said the Central Coast is privileged to be a part of this prestigious national tour.
"Founded in 2007, the Melbourne Ballet Company has grown to become one of Australia's most loved dance companies and is renowned for its team of experienced classical dancers who consistently deliver truly remarkable performances.
"They have developed their skills at some of the most renowned companies and schools in the world, including the Australian Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet, Australian Ballet School and the Royal Ballet.
"Having established their own style of innovative and exciting ballet, their performances have become a regular and popular part of our annual season at Laycock Street Community Theatre," Ms. Jaeger said.
Archè has been described as "essential and compelling viewing" by The Herald Sun and audiences will become immersed in a sublime performance featuring an alternative selection of the original Tchaikovksy score.
This one night only performance is definitely one not to be missed. For bookings contact the Box Office on 43 233 233 or go to www.gosford.nsw.gov.au/theatres
