It is April, 1940, and England is once again at war with Germany.
The nation is preparing for an imminent invasion, but soon the Battle of Britain will be fought and won over the skies of England.
Meanwhile, in Cradley, the Vicar of St. Peter's (the Rev. Robert W. Yaxley) is gravely concerned. The Parochial Tea and Entertainment has shown a profit of £17 2s., and the congregation at the Good Friday devotion between two and three o'clock was as large as usual, but he has been "... drawn to the inevitable conclusion that it would have been to hear some pleasant singing, and not for any real desire to worship."
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46, verse 10

PREPARATION FOR THE HOLY COMMUNION. (continued)
The last six commandments tell us our duty towards others. Let us take the fifth and sixth this month.
Fifth Commandment.
Have I been helpful in the home, putting duty and kindness to others before pleasure?
Have I honoured my parents and those set over me?
Sixth Commandment.
Have I been kind, and hurt nobody by word nor deed?
What has my temper been like?
Have I taught evil to another, or been mean?
Am I too pleased with myself, or selfish?
VICAR'S LETTER.
Holy Week in Cradley was alternately inspiring and most disappointing. The choir excelled itself in its performance of Stainers' "Crucifixion" on Palm Sunday evening, and the stirring music and words could not fail to move those in the big congregation, one would think to some realization of the great sacrifice Our Lord made on the Cross nineteen centuries ago. And yet when Good Friday came round again this year, how many were there to spend a few moments in recollection of Calvary? It is true the congregation at the one hour's devotion between two and three o'clock was as large as usual, but I think of the hundreds who let it all go by, and often times for no better reason than they had never been before, or that it would have been a rush after dinner, or something equally futile. And how many of those who didn't come in the afternoon came in the evening? We had hoped at one time to arrange Stainers' "Crucifixion" for Good Friday instead of Palm Sunday, but black-out restrictions made that impossible. I have no doubt but that there would have been as good a congregation as there was on the Sunday evening, and one is drawn to the inevitable conclusion that it would have been to hear some pleasant singing, and not for any real desire to worship. No! our religion is not deep enough. We don't let it cost us anything, and I would with all my heart ask you to read what I am constrained to write with sympathy. I am really concerned. We are very good at raising money in Cradley, and I have said over and over again what a privilege I deem it to be the Vicar of Cradley. But do support me in the spiritual as well as the material side of my ministry. Here is an instance of what I mean. We have been forced to alter the time of evening service owing to the black-out. The congregations even at 6 o'clock have not been what they were before. We are told that it is too close upon tea. So that when tea and worship interfere, tea wins ! ! My answer is that on special occasions such as the British Legion Service, and the Palm Sunday rendering of the Crucifixion, it matters not whether the service is in the afternoon or at 6 o'clock, your congregation is there. And, there are far too many fair weather Christians about as well.
I said that Holy Week was alternately inspiring and disappointing. One of the inspirations was the Holy Communion service on Maundy Thursday evening. A number of those present have spoken to me of the atmosphere, and I know it must have meant a great deal to them as it did to me. I think that as time goes on many more will learn to find real inspiration and help in this service.
The Church was beautifully decorated for the Easter Day services and we are very grateful to those who gave time on Saturday to help with the decoration and to those who gave flowers. It was encouraging also to find that in spite of much illness and the fact that several of our young fellows are away serving in the forces, the number of communicants remained at the level attained in the last two years. Easter services can be a real joy, and a real help, and they were certainly so to me. It was good to see our recently confirmed members making their communion for the first time on that day. On Easter Monday I had the opportunity and the privilege of taking communion to some, who through illness were unable to get to Church. I would like the more active co-operation of the congregation, in the matter of informing me of those who would care to have communion in their homes. I was not given a single name by any member of the congregation in response to my appeal.
To avoid congestion, we are arranging the Day School Anniversary Services rather earlier this year, and 28th April has been fixed. The children are practising hard and despite the fact that all our bigger boys and girls have been removed to the new Senior School at Homer Hill, we look forward to a very happy day We know that a number of old scholars and friends make a practise of attending that day and we shall be very glad to welcome them again this year. I hope you will do your utmost to make the services well known.
The bishop has done us the honour of suggesting that the Ordination service be held at Cradley on Trinity Sunday, 19th May. Normally of course, ordinations are held in The Cathedral. This year there are only a few candidates, I think two Deacons and one Priest, and in the absence of the Bishop of the Diocese who is unwell, the Ordination will be taken by Bishop Duppuy. It will be an inspiring service, and I know that Mr. Davey, our new curate, is greatly pleased that the Ordination should be in the Church where he is to serve his first curacy. I hope you are continuing to remember him in your prayers daily and that you will give him a real welcome into our midst.
With all good wishes,
I am your Friend and Vicar,
ROBERT W. YAXLEY

GIFT DAY.
By now you should have received a circular telling you about out proposed Gift Day on St Peter's Day, Saturday, 28th June, when I am going to sit in Church throughout the day to receive your offerings.
I want to clear up one point on which I am told there is some misunderstanding. We want to raise the sum of £300. I hope this is not by any means all to be spent on the decoration of the Church. What I wish to make plain is that this year, owing to war conditions we are unable to contemplate the usual Sale of Work. We have in the past raised about £300 at this effort, and as our normal Church collections do not nearly meet all our necessary expenses, the Churchwardens have relied on this Sale of Work to enable them to meet their charges. They will need this year a sum very near to that which they have always required. Anything left over and above the Churchwardens' requirements will go towards the very necessary interior decora tions of the Church about which the appeal letter speaks.
We want everybody on the electoral roll - and others interested in our work to start saving now so that there may be hundreds of gifts - large and small - to be presented on 29th June. Will you think what you can do, and pray about our effort and make it as widely known as possible! If you would like a collecting box to help you just let me know and I will see that you are supplied. If every body does a little, there need be no doubt as to the ultimate issue of the appeal.
CONGRATULATIONS. Our congratulations are offered to Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Meredith on the birth of a daughter.
We offer our very best wishes to Wesley Millward and Florence Wood on the occasion of their marriage. They are both very well known in the Church and both have the welfare of the Church very much at heart. A big congregation gathered to give the happy couple their good wishes on Saturday, 23rd March, and at the ceremony the organist played appropriate music and the choir was in attendance. We trust that it will be some little time before Wesley has to join up, though he has already registered. His departure will mean, amongst other things, finding a new Superintendent for the Parish Church morning and afternoon Sunday Schools, and a new Server. Both he and his bride are in the choir, and are absent from Church only on the very rarest occasions. May God bless them and their home.
Two other very regular members of our congregation, Jack Lawton and Mary White were married at Cradley a few days before Easter. We extend to them too our sincere congratulations and best wishes and rejoice to know that they are still to reside in the parish.
Our best wishes too are given to John Cyril Harris and Edna Gertrude Russ who were married at Cradley on Easter Day.
SYMPATHY. The Church has lost a very faithful member in the passing of Emma Davies at the age of 77 years. She was one who had a real love for her Church and from whom many could well take an example. We rejoice that she is now reaping the reward of a life well spent for her Master, and that she is reunited with those who had passed on many years before.
We convey our sympathy to Mrs. Whittle of High Street in the loss of her son, aged 17 years, under tragic circumstances.
Also to Mrs. Clifton of Two Gates Lane, whose husband passed away at Wordsley Hospital at Eastertide. He had for some little time been attending St Katharine's.
St Katharine's has lost one of its oldest and most devoted members in the death of James Dunlop. Mr. Dunlop attended the Mission Church before the present building was erected in Beecher Street and it was the last place to which he went before his long illness. He had sung in the choir for thirty years or more and his heart and soul was in St Katharine's. It was appropriate that, after short prayers at the house, the major part of the burial service should be held at St. Katharine's and fellow choir members sang some of the hymns he loved so well. Before interment, the body was taken into the Parish Church. We extend our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Dunlop and to the family in their loss. They have happy memories of one who served God and Church well, and who inspired his family to do likewise.
Much sympathy has been expressed with Mrs. and Miss Woodall of Windmill Hill in the loss of Mr. Woodall. Although he had been ailing for some time, his end was most unexpected and he had been in hospital for a couple of days only when news came that he could not live. Mr. Woodall, formerly in the teaching profession, was much respected in the neighbourhood. His wife has suffered very bad health for a long time and we pray that both she and her daughter will be given all strength, all the peace and all the comfort they need in this time of their loss.
With tragic suddenness Hannah Maria Hipkiss of the Woodlands Colley Gate was called from this life on Sunday 10th March, and was laid to rest at Cradley the following Thursday. Mrs. Hipkiss was very well known in Lye and Colley Gate, and was a member of the Parish Church. Although she had been unable to attend much of late years she was always ready to respond to any appeal made to her, and she had taken her part in the recent effort to wipe off the debt on the Renovation Loan.
A choral service preceded the interment. We extend our very sincere sympathy to Mr. Frank Hipkiss in his great loss and pray that God will sustain him through it.
GOOD SHEPHERD NOTES.
The Good Shepherd Mission Church was beautifully decorated for the Church's Queen of Seasons. Willing hands had laboured lovingly to make the Church typical of hope, faith and joy, Holy things which have no meaning if Christ has not risen. But Christ has risen and our labour is not in vain in the Lord. G.E.

1 Robert William Yaxley
From our transcription of the Cradley entry in Kelly's 1940 directory:
"The church of St. Peter [...] the living is a vicarage, net yearly value £500, in the gift of the Rector of Halesowen, and held since 1939 by the Rev. Robert William Yaxley B.Sc. of Birmingham University and Ripon Hall, Oxford."
Cradley Links wishes to thank Pamela Cottle and Elaine Leigh, who generously provided from their records many interesting details about the branch of the Yaxley family to which Rev. Yaxley belonged.
Robert William Yaxley was born in 1905, somewhere in the Aston registration district. His father, William John Thomas Yaxley, was born in Saltley in 1877, and died in Barnstaple in 1973. This William Yaxley was the eldest of the twelve children born to William Robert Yaxley and his wife Eliza.
It seems that Rev. Yaxley went on from Cradley to become Canon of St. Anne's Parish in Birmingham.
Pamela and Elaine supplied many other details regarding the Yaxley family. Cradley Links will be pleased to forward contact information to interested parties.

We would also like to thank the current (2004) Vicar of Cradley, the Rev. Tony Coote, and Church Warden John Clifton for permission to reproduce the Cradley Parish Magazine on Cradley Links.

Q: What machine learning algorithm for predicting inputs to get a certain output I have a simple golf game where the only inputs are angle and power. Submitting these values shoots the ball towards the hole. After the ball stops, a score is created based on the distance between the hole and the ball.
I want to use a machine learning algorithm to predict angle and power values that will give me the perfect score (sinking the ball in the hole).
I understand that I can use a Linear Regression to predict a score based on a chosen angle and power, but I'm not sure how to do it the other way around (get a suggested angle and power from a given score).

A: Learning of a linear regression model in your case is to solve (a,b,c) in:
score = a * angle + b * power + c
After the training you have values of (a,b,c). When you want to suggest angle and power to obrain particular score you have

The angle is in range of <0,90), so you can calculate the power needed to use for particular angle to obtain a perfect score.

Courts and Tribunals
Judges and Judgments in the Chancery Division
Judges of the Chancery Division
The Judges of the Chancery Division are highly specialised in the broad range of work carried out by the Division:
High Court Judges: There are currently 17 High Court Judges (including the Chancellor, Sir Julian Flaux) attached to the division. The Chancery High Court Judges also sit as judges of the Upper Tribunal (particularly the Tax Chamber) and in the Competition Appeal Tribunal. High Court Judges deal with the majority of trials, applications for interim and other relief listed in the Applications Court, and certain categories of business such as committals and the work of the Patents Court. The Chancellor supervises the Chancery lists in the B&PCs in London and on the South Eastern Circuit. A Chancery Division High Court Judge supervises the Chancery work including the Business and Property lists outside the South-East.
Chancery Masters: There are normally 6 judges who are referred to as Masters (one of whom is the Chief Master). General applications are usually listed before Masters. Masters may grant all types of interim injunctions including interim injunctions which are secondary to the main relief sought. Directions and other case management hearings are typically listed before Masters, save where this is reserved to High Court Judges. There is now a significant overlap with the work of High Court Judges, and there are relatively few matters which may not be dealt with by a Master. For further information on the division of Chancery work between Judges and Masters, see the Chancery Guide (external link) at Chapter 14.
ICC Judges: There are 6 Insolvency and Companies Court Judges ("ICC Judges") (one of whom is the Chief ICC Judge). They deal with the two sub-lists (Insolvency and the Companies Court) comprising the Insolvency and Companies List of the Chancery Division, where the work is not reserved exclusively to a High Court Judge.
Regional Centres: Outside London in the B&PC District Registries, work is undertaken by specialist B&PC Circuit Judges who sit as Judges of the High Court and specialist B&PC District Judges. For details of the Judges carrying out Chancery Business outside the Rolls Building, see Appendix C of the Chancery Guide (external link).
Deputies: The work of these judges is supplemented by fee-paid deputy High Court Judges, deputy ICC Judges, deputy Masters and, in the B&PC District Registries, by Recorders and deputy District Judges. All such deputies are approved specialist judges.

Built among a former pineapple plantation, Banyan Golf Club in Hua Hin opened in October 2008. Immediately following, the course was awarded 2009 Best New Course in Asia Pacific by the readers of Asian Golf Monthly. Since then Banyan Golf Club course, clubhouse, and staff have consistently claimed 'Top 3 in Asia' awards and have been featured in the 'Rolex Top 1000' in the World.
The world class 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Thailand golf course architect Pirapon Namatra from Golf East and is known to be one of the most natural in the country.
The course provides for spectacular mountain and ocean views from most all of the holes and is one of the best layouts in Hua Hin. Each hole has 6 tee boxes making the course more or less challenging depending on each golfer's ability and tee selection. Strategically placed water hazards, waste bunkers, and sand traps are spread out throughout the course. Significant use of native pineapple groves make local fruits come into play if straying too far off the fairways. Be careful, pineapple plants are sharp and scratch easily.
The signature 15th hole is a 139 yard par-3 with panoramic ocean views all the way to Singtoh (Tiger) Island in the Gulf of Thailand. Hole 12, a par-5 monster is 610 yards, all uphill, making it a challenge to reach for even the most accomplished of golfers. Other holes feature elevated greens, sloping fairways, meandering creeks and waste areas, and well placed fairway and greenside bunker complexes.
Practice facilities include a grass driving range and 2 large putting and chipping greens. The Banyan Golf Club has a contemporary Thai styled club house including, full reception area, well-stocked pro shop, elegant locker rooms, and 2 international restaurants; both of which are 5-star. The changing rooms are fitted with rain showers and luxury grooming amenities.
The Terrace Restaurant is an International all day dining venue with a variety of Western and Thai cuisine and several daily specials. It also features a walk in wine cooler with excellent selection of fine wines to suit all connoisseurs. Mulligan's Pub, with western views over the golf course and Burmese Mountains, makes for an ideal way to have a few cold drinks, reflect on a round and take in a picture perfect Thai sunset.
The Banyan golf course is designed for walking, but for those who opt to ride, optional golf carts with onboard GPS can be helpful. Caddies who are well trained handle all of the usual services including keeping you cool during the round and making sure you have a great day golfing at Banyan Golf Club.

Cooking rice without a rice cooker has never been easier! Learn how to make perfect rice every single time!
Cooking rice is the most basic kitchen task in Asian cooking, yet many people have trouble creating fluffy white rice that is not mushy. However, once you learn the tricks, you'll find that cooking perfect rice is the simplest thing to do!
Of course, you'll need a perfect rice-to-water ratio, so the rice will absorb the water completely during cooking. If you use less water, the rice will be tough and some grains might not be cooked completely. If you use too much water, the rice will become mushy and even turn to an oatmeal-like texture.
In this recipe, I listed the ratios for cooking both short grain and long grain rice. However, you might need one or two attempts to figure out the golden ratio. Because the rice will absorb different amounts of water depending on the type and quality.
Bookmark this recipe so you can easily serve white rice with your favorite bang bang shrimp or stir fried beef next time!
Rinse the rice with tap water, gently wash with hands, and discard the water. Repeat 3 times. Cover rice with water again and let rest for 30 minutes.
Transfer rice to a sieve and drain well.
Transfer the rice to a medium dutch oven (or heavy pot with a tight fitting lid) and add water to cover.
Cover and cook over medium heat. As soon as the water is boiling, turn to low heat. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Uncover and take a quick peek at the rice. If there is water left, cover and let cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Our Holiday Pop Up was filled with Joy, Peace, and LOTS of Love! On November 10th, we held our first Holiday Pop Up at Sabin Hall + Unity Chapel at The Liberty Center in Liberty Township, Ohio. We always say that we have the BEST Girl Bosses at our Pop-Ups and this event was no exception. We had over 30 Girl Bosses that brought their Holiday cheer to the Pop Up and it was such a joy to see the rooms filled with such light!
Over in Unity Chapel, Collective Charm + Winnie James Co. sponsored pieces for The Crystal Collection to create an amazing photo booth set up for guests to enjoy. JScoFoto brought along Queso to provide our guests with a souvenir from the Pop Up!
We had such a fantastic turn out from the community and we want to thank you for coming out to shop and support local Girl Bosses and their small businesses. Take a look at some of the magic that was captured by Emma McMahan Photography!


How much financial bloodshed is necessary before we realize that there is no safe and easy shortcut to investment success? When do we learn that most of our mistakes involve our very own greed, fear, and unrealistic expectations?
Eventually, successful investors begin to allocate assets in a goal directed manner by adopting a realistic investment methodology - an ongoing selection and monitoring process that is guided by realistic expectations, selection rules, and management guidelines.
If you are thinking of trying a strategy for a year or so to see if it works, you're due for a smack up alongside the head. Viable strategies transcend cycles, not years, and viable equity strategies consider three or four disciplined activities, the first of which is selection.
How should you determine what stocks to buy, and when to buy them? Will Rogers summed it up: "Only buy stocks that go up. If they aren't going to go up, don't buy them." Many have misread this tongue-in-cheek observation and joined the "buy anything that is rising" club. I've found that the "buy investment grade value stocks lower" approach works better.
A Google search produces a variety of criteria that help to identify value stocks, the standards being low price to book value, low P/E ratios, and other fundamentals. But you would be surprised how the (self serving) definitions can vary, and how few include the word quality.
In the late 90's, it was rumored that a well-known value fund manager was asked why he wasn't buying dot-coms, IPOs, etc. When he said that they didn't qualify as value stocks, he was told to change his definition --- or else.
How do we create a confidence building stock selection universe? Operating on blind faith with one of the common definitions may be too simplistic, particularly since many of the numbers originate from the subject companies. Also, some of the figures may be difficult to obtain quickly, and it is essential not to get bogged down in endless research.
1. An S & P rating of B+ or better. S & P is a major financial data provider and its "Earnings and Dividend Rankings" combine fundamental and qualitative factors into a letter ranking that speaks to the financial viability of a company.
Potential market performance (a guessing game anyway) is not a consideration. B+ and above ratings are considered investment grade. Anything rated lower adds an extra element of speculation to the portfolio. A staff of thousands does your research for you.
2. A history of profitability. Obviously, a company with a history of profits is a less risky investment than an unproven, start-up, or losing enterprise. Profitable operations adapt more readily to changes in markets, economies, and business opportunities, and are more likely to produce profit-taking opportunities for you.
3. A history of regular dividend payments. The payment of dividends, and periodic increases in the rate paid, are signs of economic viability. Companies will go to great lengths, and endure great hardships, before either cutting or omitting a dividend.
There is no need to focus on the size of the dividend itself; equities should not be purchased as income producers. On the other hand, companies who enrich officers and don't reward investors should be avoided.
Additionally, dividend cuts are a clear indication of financial stress within the company.
4. A reasonable price range. Most IGVSI stocks trade between $10 and $100 per share. If you have a seven-figure portfolio, price may not matter from a diversification standpoint, but in smaller portfolios, a round lot of a $40 stock may be too much to risk in one position.
An unusually high price may be caused by high sector or company speculation while a single digit price may be a warning signal. With no real structural size limitations, I feel most comfortable with a range between $12 and $80 per share.
5. A NYSE Listed Security. I'm not sure that the listing requirements for the NYSE are still more restrictive than elsewhere, but it is helpful to be able to focus on just one set of statistics. Market Stats, Issue Breadth, and New Highs vs. New Lows are reported separately by exchange.
Your IGVSI selection universe will become the conscience of your equity investment program - allowing no room for creative adjustments to the rules and guidelines you've established. You will be able to focus on diversifying properly and on identifying stocks that are ready for purchase.
Always keep in mind that you want to sell each equity at your target profit ASAP. What, you say, what are targets? Well, security selection is just one part of the process.
You'll want to establish appropriate diversification, buying, and selling rules as well. For example, I never consider buying a stock until it has fallen at least 20% from its 52-week high. Your actual "buy list" should change every day in symbol, # of issues, and day-limit price.
You will need to apply consistent and disciplined judgment to your buying activity so you don't violate a formalized set of diversification rules as to sector, individual issue, global interest, etc. And then the absolute most important function of all - profit targeting.
Never, ever, say "no thank you" to a net/net profit of 10% (or less under certain circumstances) and you'll be able to do it again, and again, and again.
One other observation, as IGVSI stocks gyrate above and below your purchase price (as they absolutely will), you can be confident that it is merely the nature of the stock market and not an imminent financial disaster --- and that should help you sleep nights.

El aguardo es aquella disciplina cinegética consistente en esperar al animal por abatir en un lugar preparado con anterioridad, al que el animal acude asiduamente. Se desarrolla principalmente desde el atardecer en adelante.

El jabalí es el rey de esta especialidad, arrastrando a cientos de cazadores en el mundo y sobre todo en la península ibérica. Existen varias formas de realizar el aguardo al jabalí. Se pueden diferenciar tres tipos básicos de emplazamientos para el aguardo: la baña, el comedero y el paso.
La baña: Consiste en apostarse cerca de una zona húmeda o charco donde sabemos que el jabalí acude a bañarse y así desparasitarse. La forma de saber si un jabalí utiliza la baña es analizar la misma previamente, son varias las pistas que nos deja el animal, como por ejemplo la turbidez del agua, las huellas en el barro y las cerdas o pelos adheridos a los árboles cercanos, donde el jabalí se rasca después del baño.
El comedero: En este tipo de aguardo se ceba al animal aportándole comida en un lugar que nos parezca apropiado. El animal es bastante desconfiado ante este tipo de comederos por eso esta modalidad se utiliza sobre todo en épocas del año en las que la comida natural escasea.
El paso: Es el tipo de espera que necesita menos preparación. Consiste en observar una zona por la que pase un jabalí periódicamente, como por ejemplo una alambrada. Podemos observar que el jabalí ha pasado por ahí viendo las cerdas engnachadas en la alambrada.

Una vez que tenemos claro el tipo de aguardo que vamos a realizar, el siguiente paso sería seleccionar el mejor sitio para apostarse. Debe ser un lugar no muy cercano a la zona de disparo, aunque este aspecto depende y mucho de la orografía del lugar. Es necesario tener en cuenta otros factores como la dirección viento o la luz de la luna, ya que en noches de luna llena las sombras pueden aportarnos una zona de ocultación perfecta. Como ya es sabido el jabalí es un animal especialmente astuto y muy receloso de sus decisiones.

Judging in a Therapeutic Key
Therapeutic Jurisprudence and the Courts

Part I of this book describes the newly emerging problem-solving courts (such as drug treatment courts, domestic violence courts, mental health courts, etc.) and other related approaches to problem-solving judging and judging with an explicit ethic of care. Authors Winick and Wexler show how judges can use therapeutic jurisprudence not only in specialized problem-solving courts, but in general civil and criminal judicial settings as well. In Part II, the book covers emerging "principles" of therapeutic jurisprudence that seem to be at work in successful judicial approaches: how courts can encourage offender reform, how they can help offenders develop problem-solving and coping skills, how they can encourage offender compliance with release conditions, how they can serve as effective risk managers, and much more.
"Rarely does the academic work of law scholars have such a clear-cut impact in shaping the research agendas of a broad range of legal academics. Rarer still are the times when such legal scholarship positively impacts the working lives of judges and practicing lawyers. As these essays make abundantly clear, therapeutic jurisprudence has come of age as a legal discipline in its own right, ready to be further tested carefully and strategically within our judicial system… The authors assembled in this worthy volume believe strongly in the law's potential to serve as a 'healing agent' and seek to cast judges and lawyers in the roles of peacemakers and creative problem-solvers. Their vision deserves our serious consideration." — The Journal of Legal Medicine
"Winick and Wexler have gathered an impressive collection that both introduces the topic to newcomers and provides additional depth for those already generally aware of the concepts." — Steve Leben in The Justice System Journal


In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One. From itself, two beings the Original One did make. Time started to spin.

Yacht Charter Destinations
Where to Whale Watch in New Zealand
PhotosPhotos
Party Life
By Editorial Team 15 October 2015
Exploring New Zealand is like no other experience, with towering mountain ranges, magnificent lush landscapes and striking coastlines making it a spectacular superyacht destination. Whether you're looking for an activity that gets your pulse racing, or something a little more little more relaxed, whale watching off the coast of New Zealand is an unmissable and truly magical experience for everyone.
Not only one is New Zealand one of the world's most pristine destinations with an incredibly diverse landscape with a third of the land protected as a reverse, the waters are home to 25 out of 37 of the Southern Hemispheres marine mammals making it some of the best seas to spot a plethora of whales and dolphins. From year-round residents to seasonal migraters passing through on their travels from Antarctica to the tropics, the geography of New Zealand provides the perfect environment for sighting these majestic creatures.
Kaikoura on the east coast of the South Island, the Bay of Islands situated at the northern most peak of the North Island, and Hauraki Gulf in Auckland are some the best places to spot whales from Humpbacks to Orcas, and if you're lucky a fleeting glimpse of the giant Blue Whale. At each location the chance of sightings are guaranteed daily to roughly 85% making your chances on a yacht charter in the area extremely probable; a moment to cherish with your friends and family for years to come.
In Kaikoura there are year-round sightings of Sperm Whales and one of the only places in the world where you are guaranteed to spot them. The 18 metre, 60 tonne giants are the deepest diving of the species and treat the nutrient rich subtropical waters off of the coast of Kaikoura as their favourite hangout for feeding. For unrivalled views of these whales revelling in their natural habitat, why not take a helicopter ride and keep your eyes peeled for their blow-spray breaking the surface as it reaches heights of up to 15 feet.
What draws Sperm Whales and others such as the Humpback, Pilot, and Southern Right Whale to this area repeatedly is the unusual submarine landscape. Due to the extremely deep underwater canyons produced by the drop in the continental shelf, the conditions are ideal for the whales that retreat to the mysterious depths.
For the best chance of spotting the inquisitive and acrobatic Humpback Whale, the Southern Right Whale which is extremely active on the surface, and the large pods of Pilot Whales, visit these desired regions between the months of June and August as the whales pass through the area from the Antarctic in the summer and the South Pacific for the winter. During October to March you'll be able to spot the top predator and magnificent creature that is the Orca Whale in pods of five to fifteen.
The landscape of New Zealand is as equally remarkable as the marine life and with snow-peaked mountains in the background and golden sands in the foreground as a whale breaches the surface, the whole experience becomes something utterly enchanted.
Whale watching is a unique experience and no sighting is the same. It's the mystery of these enigmatic creatures which fascinates and captivates you
The Bay of Islands is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches peddled across more than 100 islands in secluded inlets and across immaculate sweeping bays. The striking volcanic black rocks and rugged cliffs that mark the coastline are ideal for discovering and dropping anchor on a relaxing yacht charter vacation – or returning to after adventuring out to the bountiful marine adventure playground.
Covering an area of 4000 square kilometres Hauraki Gulf is privileged to be one of the world's richest marine regions with more than twenty two species of whales and dolphins are estimated to inhabit the Gulf's waters. In a similar way the Bay of Islands is host to an abundance of sea wildlife from penguins, Fur Seals and sea birds from Australian Gannets to the endangered Dotterel, displaying how plentiful the wildlife around New Zealand is and a spectacle that cannot be missed. Vast pods of Bottlenose Dolphins will also be on your checklist as they spend all year feeding, breeding and frolicking in the safe balmy waters, making these areas perfect for marine watching whether that's diving, snorkelling or on board your charter yacht.
For your chance to spot some of the more endangered species visit between June and July to catch a rare glimpse of the Blue Whale, or head to Hauraki Gulf to spot the endangered Bryde's Whale, one of the most anticipated whales amongst whale watchers. These relatively small elongated whales with twin blowholes are New Zealand inhabitants for most of the year and are sometimes seen with their heads out of the water, also known as spy hopping. Grab a canoe to get a closer and more personal experience, grasping the true size of the mammal as it effortlessly swims past.
Across New Zealand the whales are protected by the Marine Mammals Protection Act which is fantastic for the future of the whales and also means that you get unrivalled and extraordinary sightings of some the world's most mysterious mammals in their natural, and exquisite, environment. Whale watching is a unique experience and no sighting is the same, from far away or up close you might capture whales feeding skilfully and methodically, majestic tale flicks marking a deep-dive or impressive acrobatic displays. It's the mystery of these enigmatic creatures which fascinates and captivates you.
Whether you've never seen a whale before, or whether you're eager to see your next gentle giant, your breath is guaranteed be taken away. For your chance to whale watch in New Zealand, please contact your preferred charter broker to plan an itinerary. Alternatively, compare all our luxury yachts available for charter in New Zealand.

Lindsey D.'s ramblings on the moving image!

"New to me" reviews
Dynamic Duos in Classic Film: Cary Grant and Joan Bennett
While it will come as no surprise to any regular visitor of TMP that I love Cary Grant, it may come as a surprise that one of my favorite leading ladies of his is Joan Bennett. I know exactly what you're thinking: "But Lindsey, Topper is one of your favorite films of all time! Don't you mean the other Bennett sister?"
While it is true that I love Cary and Constance in Topper, Cary's work alongside Joan is just as delightful. Today, TMP takes a look at Cary and Joan's two pairings in 1936: Wedding Present and Big Brown Eyes.
Cary and Joan for Wedding Present (Image: The Movie Projector)
Ah, newsroom love. Romances between intelligent, sparring journalists have been explored in many films, and more than once in Cary Grant's filmography. Wedding Present is one example.
Charlie Mason (Cary Grant) and Rusty Fleming (Joan Bennett) are a pair of rising stars who work for a Chicago tabloid. They're also very much in looooove.
Though they always churn out a fantastic final product, Charlie and Rusty are known for their unprofessional behavior in the process of hunting down those sensational stories.
Though this poster may make you think otherwise, Cary Grant portrays a newsman in this film, not rouge-and-lipstick-lovin' clown. (Image: movies.io)
After cracking a particularly grand story involving an archduke, Charlie and Rusty are given journalistic excellence awards. Rusty is given a month of vacation which she uses to visit New York, while Charlie must stay in Chicago because the paper can't afford to have them both away at once.
While Rusty is away, the city editor of the paper quits and the publisher gives his job to Charlie… but Charlie doesn't quite make an impressive boss, alienating virtually his entire staff due to his workaholic tendencies and pompous attitude.
When Rusty returns, she's disgusted by his behavior and decides to head back to New York, for good.
Can Charlie make up for his mistakes and win his lady back? So goes the central dilemma of this Paramount romantic comedy. Wedding Present was directed by Richard Wallace.
This film has a completely upbeat mood right from the opening, and two more lovable leads could not have possibly been found to fill the roles of Charlie and Rusty. We all know by now how much I love Cary, and Joan is one of my favorite performers as well. Apart they're amazing, and together they're even better. Their chemistry is absolutely fantastic here.
The film is generally quite well-written as well. There's plenty of comedy in the dialogue, and in the scenarios that the characters get themselves stuck in. There's a nice mix of newsroom drama, subplots of certain articles that Charlie and Rusty are working on, and of course… the romance. I like the fact that the film gives the viewer more to focus on than just whether or not Charlie will win his girl back. We get a good look at their interactions both as a couple and as co-workers, as well as their individual lives.
If you're a fan of Cary Grant, you'll likely enjoy this film. If you're a fan of romantic comedy in general you'll likely enjoy it. There is some typicality to it (you can probably predict the ending before you even begin the film), but this is something that happens across the board with rom-coms and as a result I can't dock the score for it. I'm a fan of the genre despite its consistently-followed formula, and I enjoyed this flick a lot thanks to its wonderful cast and sense of wit.
(Image: doctormacro.com)
Released in April, about six months before audiences fell in love with the screwball, star reporter team of Grant and Bennett in Wedding Present, the two splendid actors co-starred in Big Brown Eyes.
Dan Barr (Cary Grant) is a low-ranking cop who's hunting down a gang of jewel robbers. His girlfriend, Eve (Joan Bennett), is a manicurist with an ear for gossip who just may be able to help Dan track down the criminals he's after.
Eve soon finds herself moving on up from manicurist to budding star reporter. Her snooping skills help Dan capture one of the jewel gang members, who accidentally killed a baby during a shootout in a local park.
When the case goes to trial, though, the man is set free, leaving Dan disillusioned with the justice system. But with Eve's sharp ears still at work, the snooping couple just may be able to crack the entire jewel thievery case and break up the crime ring.
Raoul Walsh directs Big Brown Eyes. The film is based on the story "Hahsit Babe" by James Edward Grant.
The film features an attention-grabbing opening full of beauty shop and barber shop gossip, effectively setting up the premise of jewel thievery and cluing the viewer in to how important Eve will be in solving the case.
From then on the film maintains a nice pace. Zippy dialogue makes the film seem even quicker than it actually is.
A lot of that zippy dialogue is shared in the verbal sparring between Cary Grant and Joan Bennett as Dan and Eve. Both stars give solid performances and they have incredible chemistry, just as wonderful as it is in Wedding Present. Their banter is a lot of fun to watch, and Joan's character in particular is incredibly funny.
The film's plot is fairly standard, but the material is elevated by the charming and charismatic stars. The filmmakers seem to have known this and they definitely capitalized on the star quality of the film's cast, even throwing a nod to Cary's work in She Done Him Wrong by having Joan repeat Mae West's famous "Come up and see me sometime" line.
The banter-filled romance between Cary and Joan is without a doubt one of the best things about the film, but the criminal aspect of the plot has intrigue as well, and the combination of the two makes the film well worth watching.
Unfortunately, these were the only films that Cary and Joan made together. When the year ended, Cary Grant continued being Cary Grant and Joan later turned toward more dramatic roles, with the two never crossing paths on-screen again. Though Big Brown Eyes is similar to Wedding Present in that our two stars appear as a vibrant, witty couple in each film, they are far from carbon copies of each other. It can be difficult for screen teams to differentiate their films from each other when they fall into similar genres (in this case, screwball rom-com and screwball crime comedy), but Grant and Bennett have no trouble giving each film a distinct flair. Their chemistry and performances are very strong in both films, and these two wonderful comedies alone are reason enough for Cary and Joan to be considered a dynamic on-screen duo.
The score (for both films): 4/5
Big Brown Eyes and Wedding Present appear in the Cary Grant Screen Legend Collection DVD set.

Sounds like both these films have some good lines. Plus they both have Cary Grant. How can you go wrong with that!
They're both a lot of fun!

As someone who loves old films and is a big fan of Cary Grant (just like everyone else), I am not familiar with these titles. This is unacceptable. Must watch soon!
Margaret Perry says:
Wowo – how many people are writing about Cary Grant in this blogathon? That boy really got around! I haven't seen either of these movies, but I do love Joan Bennett as Amy in LITTLE WOMEN (1933). My post is about Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn – I hope you'll check it out! http://thegreatkh.blogspot.com/2013/07/dynamic-duos-in-classic-film-katharine.html
I will check it out! Very behind on my blog reading since I'm on the road this week but I'm glad to hear there's been lots of Cary Grant. :) Can't wait to read them all!
Todd Benefiel says:
Two more Cary Grant films I'd never heard of, but both sound like a lot of fun! Although, leave it to 1930s cinema to have a baby killed by gunfire…in a COMEDY!
That was definitely an odd, morbid addition to the film!

John Turturro Holds Out Hope for a 'Big Lebowski' Spinoff
8:42 AM PDT 7/1/2016 by Alex Ritman
Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic/Getty Images
"I can tell you I've been bowling," he said. "I've been bowling a lot, and I'm getting better!"
It's been more than two years since John Turturro first revealed his desire to revisit the world of Jesus, the purple-clad, sex offending ten-pin bowler whose five-minute turn in the Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski became some of the 1998 cult comedy's most iconic scenes.
Since then, despite the clamoring of fans, a Jesus spinoff has appeared to look unlikely, with even Joel Coen earlier this year saying that he didn't the project was going to happen.
But in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Friday, Turturro implied that the idea wasn't quite in the gutter.
"It's a very complicated legal situation," he said, adding that his lawyer was "yelling" at him to not discuss the matter. "Until things are all signed, you can't really talk about it. But we'll see."
Without his lawyer in the room, however, Turturro did say that the Coens would be involved, but not as directors.
"This would be something they would support with me," he said.
The complicated legal situation may revolve around the fact that The Big Lebowski's production house, Polygram, no longer exists. But when it comes to Jesus himself, Turturro said he was actually his creation.
"That character was actually based on a play I had done many years before that, a Spanish play I did at the public theater,. It's a character I invented," he said. "If you ever tell anything to Joel or Ethan, they basically steal it from you!"
Although Turturro gave no hint at a possible timeframe, he did indicate that he had been practicing for the role.
The actor was speaking at the press junket for The Night Of, HBO's upcoming New York crime mini-series from Steven Zaillian (the acclaimed Oscar-winning scriptwriter's first TV project), in which he plays John Stone, an unorthodox ambulance-chasing attorney who picks up the case of Naz, a young Pakistani-American college student (Rogue One's Riz Ahmed) accused of murder.
More than seven years in the making, The Night Of initially had James Gandolfini playing Stone (the late actor is still listed as exec producer), with a pilot episode shot four years ago, before his death.
Although Gandolfini appeared in only one scene in the pilot, Turturro admitted he was initially reluctant to watch it.
"He was a close friend of mine, he was the lead in my movie, Romance & Cigarettes," he said. "I've known him for many years."
But Turturro did eventually see the pilot, and even used Gandolfini as an inspiration.
"Of course, I watched it with one eye closed. But he had just dipped his toe in. And you're very different anyway, it's not like I had to erase anything he did. I just sort of kept it in my pocket. It was another thing that you can use to spur you on. So I did think about him, as my friend."
The actor also revealed that he looking to work on his own TV project, having optioned the rights to Susan Sheehan's 1983 Pulitzer winning non-fiction book Is There No Place On Earth For Me?, recounting the lonely, harrowing life of a woman who is a diagnosed schizophrenic.
"I love the long form, and I love to see if I could turn this beautiful book into a four or five-hour thing," he said.

Unitarian Universalists smiled when we heard President Obama mention "a young mother of five" in his stirring speech in Selma, Alabama, last weekend. If one hadn't heard of Viola Liuzzo, one might have thought he was just giving a random example of the kind of person who might possibly have answered the call to go to Selma, the way a speech will refer to "a Georgia sharecropper" or "a factory worker from Cleveland." In fact, when he spoke of "the willingness of a 26-year-old deacon, or a Unitarian minister, or a young mother of five to decide they loved this country so much that they'd risk everything to realize its promise," we knew that he was talking about three specific people who not only risked, but paid the ultimate price: Baptist deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson, Unitarian minister the Reverend James Reeb, and Detroit Unitarian Universalist Viola Liuzzo.
Although I don't know her story in a great deal of detail, and can't know her personality enough to be sure, I doubt Liuzzo went to Alabama to die. She went to join in a struggle for justice that she regarded as hers as much as anyone's, and while she knew it was dangerous because she'd seen the terrifying coverage of "Bloody Sunday," when people were beaten as they tried to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, she joined a march there two weeks later and was unharmed. Maybe having taken that plunge, she felt safe. Maybe she didn't really suppose that teaming up with another activist to drive people from the Montgomery airport to Selma could be as risky as that march. But a carload of KKK members chased them down the highway, pulled up next to them and fired into the car, killing Liuzzo instantly.
I ask myself now and then, for what would I risk everything? Mostly I would like to give my life by living and working for a cause, not by dying for it. When I think of what I would risk dying for, I think of freedom and fairness, of the earth, but mostly of people: people I know. It's a principle of community organizing and congregational leadership that what people give to, sacrifice for, go to the wall for, is their connection with other people. When we know someone who is suffering under oppression, abstractions such as freedom and justice take on flesh. They acquire a face, and the face silently asks us to act. Their fight becomes our fight.
It's probable that that face was a specific one in Liuzzo's life: her close friend Sarah Evans, who was African American. Evans warned her that it could be dangerous, but as Liuzzo told her husband, she felt compelled to go to Selma because what they were seeing on television was "everybody's fight." Lots of other white people joined it, though mercifully few paid the price that Liuzzo did; but in any fight, most of us cheer or cry from the sidelines, while only a few actually pack a bag and show up on the battlefield. The world is turned by those like Liuzzo who do, and whenever I hear her story, I wonder again whether I'm ever one of them, and for what, or for whom, I'll fight and even die.
Before "world music" experimenters like Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, and Paul Simon incorporated explicitly African sounds into western popular music, there was Miriam Makeba, a South African singer who had her biggest hit in the US in 1967 with "Pata Pata." It reached #12 on the Billboard Top 100.
Makeba wrote the song with another South African singer-songwriter, Rhodesia-born Dorothy Masuka. Both were civil rights activists and were exiled for it for decades. Makeba suffered a second exile: having come to the United States (helped by Harry Belafonte), appeared on the Steve Allen Show, signed a recording contract here, and made hit records, she became too controversial for American record companies upon her marriage to Stokely Carmichael. They canceled her contracts and the couple moved to the Republic of Guinea.
She was born on this day in 1932 and died in 2008.
A week ago my grandmother gave me a dry-eyed hug at the San Francisco airport and told me again that if I valued my life at all, I should not get in touch with anyone I knew until we could be sure my enemies were no longer looking for me. My Nini is paranoid, as the residents of the People's Independent Republic of Berkeley tend to be, persecuted as they are by the government and extraterrestrials, but in my case she wasn't exaggerating: no amount of precaution could ever be enough. She handed me a hundred-page notebook so I could keep a diary, as I did from the age of eight until I was fifteen, when my life went off the rails. "You're going to have time to get bored, Maya. Take advantage of it to write down the monumental stupidities you've committed, see if you can come to grips with them," she said. Several of my diaries are still in existence, sealed with industrial-strength adhesive tape. My grandfather kept them under lock and key in his desk for years, and now my Nini has them in a shoebox under her bed. This will be notebook number nine. My Nini believes they'll be of use to me when I get psychoanalyzed, because they contain the keys to untie the knots of my personality; but if she'd read them, she'd know they contain a huge pile of tales tall enough to outfox Freud himself. My grandmother distrusts professionals who charge by the hour on principle, since quick results are not profitable for them. However, she makes an exception for psychiatrists, because one of them saved her from depression and from the traps of magic when she took it into her head to communicate with the dead.
Allende's first novel, almost incredibly, was The House of the Spirits, epic in scope and powerful in its emotional and intellectual impact. From my perspective as an adoptive Northern Californian–a status she shares–her novel Daughter of Fortune is particularly interesting, because it moves from Chile to the founding of San Francisco as a modern city, during the Gold Rush. Her descriptions of modern-day Berkeley are so incisive (and funny) that although I've never been to Chile, I feel that Santiago, too, must be exactly as her words describe it. She has a stunning command of language, poetic yet straight-shooting, with phrases that can make you laugh out loud and shake your head in sorrow at the same time. In 2010, Allende was awarded Chile's National Prize for Literature, one of only a few women to have received that recognition.
Not having yet read the book, I don't know why the ironic twinning of these tragedies led to her feeling that she had gained a country. How does one even make a home in the country that destroyed one's homeland, much less proudly claim that new nationality as one's identity? If anyone can trace the complexities of that journey in such as way as to bring us along and make us understand, it's Isabel Allende.
Why . . . ?
I stammered a bit before arriving at the obvious correct answer: because the makers of the show were sexist. When they thought of exciting things like space exploration, their imaginations weren't up to conceiving of anyone except men carrying them out. It was jarring to see it through her eyes. I'm used to thinking of Star Trek as groundbreaking, and maybe it was even in this respect; the women on the Enterprise had jobs, after all, in space no less, even if they were the well-worn options of secretary (Lt. Uhura), nurse (Nurse Chapel), and, hm, what is a yeoman (Yeoman Rand)? Captain's P.A.? That makes it a striking, and surely deliberate, departure from Lost in Space, in which the wife and daughters are . . . a wife and daughters. I guess someone has to dust the controls and look pretty.
I didn't want to make excuses for Star Trek, but in the interests of teaching her some history, I told the munchkin that the show was a leap forward. What chiefly struck me, though, was how far we've come since 1968, which is, coincidentally, the span of in my lifetime. There is still plenty of tokenism in entertainment and it bugs me a lot, as I've written on this blog before. But an eight-year-old girl in 2015 noticed easily what was invisible even to a pioneer like Gene Roddenberry fewer than 50 years earlier, and that's cause for gratitude and hope. Also, for this mama, pride.

CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. We have designed our program to elicit the broadest adaptational response possible. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains.
The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual's competency in all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to perform successfully in multiple diverse and randomized physical challenges. This is the fitness demanded of military and police personnel, firefighters, and many sports requiring total or complete physical prowess. CrossFit is proven to be an effective method of training for this calibre of fitness.
Aside from the breadth and totality of fitness the CrossFit Program seeks, our program is distinctive and unique. Our focuses lie in maximizing neuroendocrine response, developing power, cross-training with multiple training modalities, constant training and practice with functional movements, and the development of successful nutrition strategies.
Our athletes are trained to bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances. This guarantees exposure and competency in the three main metabolic pathways.
We train our athletes in gymnastics from rudimentary to advanced movements. This cultivates a great capacity for controlling the body both dynamically and statically, while maximizing the strength to weight ratio and flexibility. There is also a heavy emphasis placed on Olympic Weightlifting. This is due to the sport's unique ability to develop an athletes' explosive power, a control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. And finally we encourage and assist our athletes in exploring a variety of sports as a vehicle to express and apply their fitness.
TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE; TO BE HEALTHIER, HAPPIER, AND MORE FIT!
We can help with that! Come in and meet with our knowledgeable and caring staff and let us talk to you about how we can help you meet your goals and have fun doing it.

Bordered by the California Golf Club and Westborough Blvd to the North, and the Brentwood neighborhood to the South, the Avalon (and Southwood) neighborhoods take a lot of its character from the golf course and club. Homes in this area are a mixed bag of styles and sizes, having been built over the years from as early as 1942 to mini-mansions built in the party-year of 1999! Most homes were built in the post-war years to accommodate South San Francisco's burgeoning workforce.
With street names like Country Club Dr. and Fairway Dr. you know you're in the area. While not a modern golf community, with homes interwoven with every fairway, there are a few homes bordering the course if you're looking for wide open views. Further up the hill to the West there are homes along the border of the neighborhood, Hwy 280, which for some has the sound of rushing water instead of cracking golf shots. El Camino Real provides the Eastern border, and Alta Vista Dr. is the southernmost street before the Brentwood neighborhood.
Homes in this area are a mixed bag of styles and sizes, having been built over the years from as early as 1942 to mini-mansions built in the party-year of 1999! Most homes were built in the post-war years to accommodate South San Francisco's burgeoning workforce. Values range from the mid-700k's to over a Million dollars. Configurations are anything from 2br – 1 ba. to 3-2's and 4-3's. Lot sizes are typically 4500-5000 sq.ft. Updated homes can be found throughout the area.
These homes are in the South San Francisco Unified School District. The South San Francisco High School is just across the El Camino Real, and Baden High School is tucked inside the neighborhood. Ponderosa Elementary School is also located inside.

Since the 1980s, supercomputer-powered weather models have added a new day of predictive power with each new decade. Today, the best forecasts run out to 10 days with real skill, leading meteorologists to wonder just how much further useful forecasts can go. A new study suggests a humbling answer: another 4 or 5 days. A seminal 1969 paper by Edward Lorenz introduced what would later be dubbed the "butterfly effect": The chaotic, nested turbulent flows of the atmosphere would make it impossible to forecast the weather after 2 weeks, he suggested. Until recently, however, global weather models have been unable to render the small-scale cloud-forming processes that drive such chaos. Using the latest operational models from Europe and the United States, researchers have now shown that Lorenz was about right in his prediction.
