Former school board president dies at 92
Submitted to the Reporter-Herald
Robert Lebsack
By Shelley Widhalm |
The seat halfway up from the 50-yard line at the Ray Patterson Field will be empty the next time Loveland High School plays.
Robert "Bob" Lebsack, 92, who died in his home Tuesday morning of a heart attack or blood clot, attended nearly every home and away game that his alma mater, Loveland High School, played since the year he graduated from the school in 1940. He also attended all of the basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball and soccer games that his three children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren played.
"He was always there. That's what he looked forward to," said Lebsack's youngest of three daughters, Janna Dunkle, of Loveland, adding that in 70-plus years, he missed less than five of Loveland High School's football games.
Lebsack, considered by many to be a community leader, served as president of the Loveland Rotary Club in the mid-1970s, president of the Thompson School District school board during 12 of his 16 years of service there from 1969 to 1985 and president of the Loveland Rural Fire Protection District from 1961 to 1984. He and his late wife, Donalie, served as the Corn Roast Grand Marshal, were youth sponsors in their church and led the Twin Mounds 4-H Club for more than 25 years.
"You can't help but like Bob," said Jerry Westbrook, past-president of the Loveland Rotary Club, which meets Tuesdays over lunch. "He likes to be active, and he's just a great community supporter. I can't think of anybody who's given so much to this community as Bob has."
Lebsack, a member of Rotary for 45 years, helped with the club's Kids Pak weekend food program that distributes portable meals to low-income Thompson School District students.
"It will be hard telling our volunteers (Wednesday) morning. He loved being on the bag team," said Tom Carrigan, cochairman of Kids Pak. "Bob will be greatly missed at Rotary."
Lebsack missed few packing days for Kids Pak, when volunteers set up an assembly line at the Food Bank for Larimer County's Loveland Food Share building and pack plastic bags with the food, said Bruce Pettigrew, co-chairman of Kids Pak.
"My heart's broken he's gone, but I know he's in a better place," Pettigrew said. "I was just lucky to know him. I don't ever remember a day he didn't have something pleasant or happy to say. He always had a positive attitude. He was always upbeat. He had a great sense of humor."
"Devoted" is the word that comes to mind when Dunkle thinks of her father from family to church to the community, she said.
"What he chose to do, he did full hearted. He never held back," Dunkle said.
Lebsack's middle daughter, Jackie Anderson of Loveland, described her father as a strong Christian family man. His oldest daughter is Sheryl Stroh.
"Both of our parents were very supportive of everything the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids did," Anderson said. "He's very much about family."
Jeff Swanty, a Rotarian, describes Lebsack as an icon of Loveland.
"He's been involved in everything from education to public safety to the welfare of children in our community," Swanty said. "He's just that kind of guy, giving and never looking for attention or recognition, always doing it for the right reasons."

From martial arts classes to yoga routines, these sessions are for those who are tired of their workouts in conventional gyms.
The warmer weather only means one thing: Summertime is upon us. With that come beach trips and out-of-town activities that will most likely require you to get into swimwear. And who wouldn't want to look and feel good in swim shorts? If you're tired of doing the same workout routine in the gym, then these fitness classes will help you achieve that coveted summer body.
Unlike sessions done in conventional gyms that let you do workouts without trainers, these fitness gyms offer classes that are guided by professionals. Coaches may help you achieve the goals you're aiming for faster, may that be toned abs or stronger arms.
The pioneer in the boxing gym scene, Elorde Boxing Gym has evolved from an exclusive spot for professional boxers into a fitness gym that even the novices in the sport can get into. The brand has one of the largest boxing gym networks in the country, with more than 30 branches mostly located in Metro Manila. Each boxing clinic offers a variety of boxing classes, from sparring lessons to advanced sessions. Other branches also offer Muay Thai classes and even high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, so it may be best to inquire in the location you're looking into.
Unlike Elorde Boxing Gym, which started as the place for pros, Elite was founded to cater to those who want to add boxing into their workout routines. The gym offers classes that combine circuit training with either boxing or Muay Thai. Trainers are usually amateur boxers themselves, so prepare for intense and grueling sessions. It has three locations in Makati, Ortigas, and Libis in Quezon City.
If you want to try boxing without human contact, then Flyweight's boxing sessions are for you. The studio offers 45-minute group boxing workouts that combine core and footwork exercises with shadow boxing using a heavy bag. If that sounds too easy, there are three types of classes for different levels of fitness.
The gym only has one location in Quezon City, but it offers one of the most extensive sets of martial arts practices in the area. Aside from the usual boxing and Muay Thai classes, it also offers sessions on mixed martial arts (MMA), arnis, Brazilia Jiujitsu, and even wrestling. All these are anchored on the gym's goal of teaching self-defense (in case the worst happens). With that in mind, it's not uncommon to find kids as young as five years old training alongside adults in the gym.
One of the biggest martial arts clinics in Metro Manila, Fight Factory offers specialized classes for boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiujitsu in its eight branches in Metro Manila. Each branch has its own roster of professional trainers, most of whom regularly participate in or coach teams for competitions. Still, if you're just looking for a place to practice your punches, the gym also offers a one-time yearly fee for the usage of their gym equipment.
Dubbed as Makati's largest box (at 1,200 square meters), Primal Ape is undoubtedly one of the best places to hit new personal records in weight training. The huge gym sometimes offers two classes in an hour and still has more than enough space for other fitness enthusiasts. It's also one of the few boxes in Metro Manila that offers a wide range of schedules for its classes. From Mondays to Sundays, the first class starts as early as 6:30 am, while the last ends at 10 pm.
This box along Pioneer street in Mandaluyong is also one of Metro Manila's most spacious as it is found inside a warehouse. Like most Crossfit gyms, Avant Garde offers classes for every type of participant, from newbies to professionals, who are into competitions. It's closed on Sundays though, but it has classes that start as early as 6 am on weekdays.


Upon approaching the entrance to the funeral home for the evening session, my daughter's momther-in-law tripped and fell head first into the metal door jam. An ice pack was applied to her forehead almost immediately, but her right eye was already closing and the area across the bridge of her nose and around her eyes were beginning to become all discolored and sore.
It was several hours before we arrived home. She was to attend the funeral the next morning and was afraid that she would not have enough makeup to cover the black and blue.
When we finally arrived at home, I immediately searched through the testimonials on black eyes and bruising. Of all the different oils I could have used, I only had Frankincense and Peppermint on hand. I applied the Frankincense first and then the Peppermint on top of the bump and around the eyes.
Within minutes, the bruising started to diaper! I applied it two more times. By morning, there was no discoloration! The bump shrank in half and very little pain and only when she touched it. She didn't even need the makeup.
Additional keyword(s) assigned by the editor: bruising, bruised, purple.


Battersea Chaise End Corner Sofas are the quintessential modern gentleman with that extra bit of class. A contemporary leather corner sofa who's clean cut style and solid build will add a bold touch to any room. Like his rich family history, his seat cushions go way back, leaving ample room to nestle down in his strong, square arms. He is entirely English, handmade by master craftsmen like all of his Old Boot relatives, so you can sit comfortably in the knowledge that he was built to last.
The ultimate comfy leather corner sofa, Battersea Chaise End Corner sofa has it all, foam cores maintain the plumpness of his utterly cosy cushions, whilst duck feather topping gives them that 'lived in' look and also adds an extra touch of softness that you can often miss with a leather sofa. He wears both our beautifully aged, vintage leather and our super soft, super thick, rustic leather, the choice is yours as we think he looks terribly handsome in both. If you're after something a little less straight and a bit more rebellious, you should meet Battersea's nephew - Urbanite, he aspires to be like his uncle but is a true character in his own right, a fine example of the English youth.


We will provide you with the knowledge and the skills you will need to safely visit the underwater world. The course is divided into three segments: Academic training, Confined Water training and Openwater training. We will provide you with either a textbook or a cd/rom for you to study at home. You'll get together with your instructor for lecture sessions where you'll be quizzed on your understanding of the materials. We'll spend as much time as necessary in the pool developing the skills needed to dive safely and then we'll do at least four open water dives in the beautiful clear waters of the Palm Beaches.
We provide all the equipment needed, boat fees, certification fees, and course materials. Our class sizes average 2 to 3 persons and are scheduled at your convenience.

Deconstructing the story: different techniques for connecting with your story.
I attended on Saturday at workshop at the Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. The workshop was called "Connecting with stories". It was an interesting workshop conducted with Sarah Perceval. Throughout the workshop we were presented with different ways of connecting with the story which we had chosen to tell.
I have often been puzzled by the constant tugg of war between learning by heart every minte detail of the story or the opposite approach, which is to determine the basics of the story and then depending on your life experience and the audience, let your imagination embroider around the story. The workshop addressed these tow questions in a useful manner although the topics got explored somewhat indirectly. Read more about these techniques in the Digistory Blog.

Lod stabber released from remand
Arab rioting in Lod; Photo credit: Yossi Aloni/Flash90
Please click here for a list of posts relating to the mid-May Arab rioting throughout Israel.
Wednesday, November 10, 2021, 11:44 Following an appeal by his attorney to the Supreme Court, a minor suspected of stabbing a Lod resident at the time of the Arab riots during Operation Guardian of the Walls was released from remand yesterday (Tuesday). The Lod District Court had ordered his remand extended until the end of proceedings. The minor, who is known to the authorities and has a criminal record, was indicted for an act of terror, aggravated assault, and as an alternative to remand will stay in a hostel after his release.
At a hearing today (Wednesday) on the suspect's release conditions, Honenu Attorney Chayim Bleicher, who accompanied the victim's family, stated that "it is appalling to see a 17-and-a-half-year-old terrorist smiling on his way to a hostel while youths aged 13-14-15 are held in remand over illegal protests."
The victim's family objected to the release of the suspect: "We are disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision to release the minor to house arrest. The victim is still is still in serious condition, and in contrast the person who tried to murder him out of nationalistic motives has left remand. This is a terrorist with a record of nationalistic violence. With this record, one would expect the Supreme Court not to overturn the ruling of the [Lod] District Court and to hold him in remand until the end of proceedings.
"The terrorist is a dangerous man. He should not be released. It is inconceivable that he will be released while the victim is still injured. Every announcement like this exacerbates his condition. If the previous violent crimes against Jews do not constitute a justified reason for remand until the end of proceedings, then what does? Murder?"
The victim was on his way to bring a car to rescue his family from the rioting they had experienced the previous night, when he was attacked by several Arab rioters and stabbed in the back by one of them. He was evacuated to the Assaf HaRofeh hospital and is still suffering from the effects of the attack.
Honenu Attorney Chayim Bleicher, who is representing the victim and his family as victims of terror, sharply criticized the release of the suspect: "The terrorist is accused of stabbing a Jew, whose life was almost taken, and has a record of many violent acts against Jews. It is inconceivable he would be released from remand while the victim, who has not yet recovered, and his family are still suffering. The court placed the well-being of the despicable terrorist above the serious injury to the victim and his family. The State of Israel has turned into a paradise for terrorists who are working towards the destruction of the Jewish nation."


The U.S. Department of Energy has announced plans to issue a funding opportunity to support technology development plans for the manufacture of drop-in biofuels, bioproducts, or biopower in a pilot- or demonstration-scale integrated biorefinery.
On April 20, the Iowa Senate adopted a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress, U.S. EPA, President Obama and the next president of the United States to continue to support the renewable fuels standard (RFS) through 2022.
The U.S. EPA has published renewable identification number (RIN) data for March, reporting nearly 1.52 billion RINs were generated during the month, bringing the total for the first three months of the year to more than 4.37 billion.
The growing interest for ethanol in the Asia-Pacific region is driven in part by ever-growing environmental concerns, especially those related to rising greenhouse gas emissions and deteriorating air quality associated with increased fossil fuel use.
Alliance BioEnergy Plus Inc. has developed a technology that the company said will allow corn ethanol plants to process their own distillers grains and corn kernel fiber into cellulosic ethanol, adding millions of gallons to their annual output.
The U.S. EPA delivered the proposed rule for the 2017 renewable fuel standard (RFS) to the White House Office of Management and Budget on April 15. OMB review marks a final step before the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register.
The effort to stop the U.S. EPA from implementing a model that unfairly blames ethanol for increased emissions hit a "temporary setback," according to the Urban Air Initiative in response to action by the U.S Court of Appeals.
April 18 is tax day. While hardworking Americans will receive an average of more than $2,800 in refunds, oil producers and refiners receive $4 billion–6 billion in federal tax incentives and subsidies every year.
Green Biologics Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of U.K.-based Green Biologics Ltd., announced two distribution agreements in April. The company is currently retrofitting a corn ethanol plant in Little Falls, Minnesota, to produce n-butanol and acetone.
The Federal Aviation Administration has approved a new biobased fuel, known as Alcohol to Jet Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (ATJ-SPK). It is created from an alcohol called isobutanol that is derived from renewable feedstocks such as sugar or corn.
A new analysis of the genetic diversity of cassava will help improve strategies for breeding disease resistance and climate tolerance into the root crop, which represents both a food source and a strategic source of renewable energy.
Legislation pending in the New York State Assembly aims to allow filling stations located within marinas to sell motor fuel that does not contain ethanol.
Comet Biorefining Inc. has signed an offtake agreement with bio-succinic acid producer BioAmber for high-purity dextrose from Comet's planned commercial plant in Sarnia, Ontario. The dextrose will be produced from agricultural residues.
Researchers have developed a process that makes lignin biodegradable and turns it into the large rolls of mulch film that farmers use to block weeds, retain moisture and soil temperature, and improve crop yield.

« P-75I: Germany will consider bidding if the Liability Clause is relaxed
Indian plans to expand its fleet of the Missile tracking ship »
Dassault on backfoot on Indian Navy deal offers more upgrades
Published December 5, 2022 | By admin
SOURCE: RAUNAK KUNDE / NEWS BEAT / IDRW.ORG
Dassault Aviation seems to be on a slippery slope when it comes to the Rafale Marine jet due to severe limitations that have made the F-18E/F Super Hornet much more attractive while the Indian Navy brainstorms which aircraft will suit its operational requirements. French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu who was in India and even visited the indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant hinted at providing various concessions to the Indian side.
idrw.org has been told that Dassault and France will be offering Rafale Marine at a much more discounted price and have offered to upgrade it to the same standards as IAF's Rafale fleet with more Indigenous Indian content.
Rafale Marine is available only in a single-seat version for which France is ready to offer 3 used Twin seater Rafale, an Ex-French Air force variant to be used as an advanced training aircraft at a discounted price, even though it doesn't have reinforced undercarriage to carry out carrier take-offs and landings.
Rafale Marine is also incapable of folding its wings which could have huge ramifications for the Indian Navy due to limited space on the aircraft carrier. Dassault and France have highlighted commonalities between the air force and Marine variants due to which India could save a lot on the infrastructure needed to support the F-18E/F Super Hornet fleet.
Indian Navy is likely to take a final decision after studying both the proposals and after going through the evaluation report that was done off a ski-jump facility in Goa earlier this year.

Biografia

Dalla provincia al successo parigino
Dubois nacque in una famiglia di modeste condizioni economiche. Venne avviato allo studio del pianoforte da Louis Fanart, Maestro del coro della Cattedrale di Reims, il centro più vicino al suo paese natale.

Nel 1854 venne ammesso al Conservatorio di Parigi (che poté frequentare grazie al sostegno di un mecenate) dove ebbe come docenti alcune delle figure di spicco della scena musicale parigina, quali Antoine François Marmontel, François Benoist e Ambroise Thomas. Durante gli studi riscontrò un notevolissimo successo accademico, culminato nel 1861 con la vittoria dell'ambito Prix de Rome (con la cantata Atala). Durante il soggiorno a Roma studiò a fondo la musica di Palestrina, il che probabilmente contribuì ad accrescere ulteriormente il suo interesse per la musica sacra, e ricevette inoltre gli apprezzamenti di Franz Liszt.

Già nei primi anni parigini Dubois aveva iniziato ad esercitare la sua attività di organista: dal 1855 nella Cattedrale di San Luigi degli Invalidi, per poi passare nel 1858 a Santa Clotilde (allora ancora non elevata alla dignità di basilica minore), al fianco di César Franck, dove in seguito venne nominato Maestro del coro. Nel 1868 ottenne l'incarico di Maestro del coro alla Chiesa della Madeleine, dove nel 1877 succedette a Camille Saint-Saëns come organista titolare.

Dal 1871 affiancò l'impegno didattico al Conservatorio di Parigi, dapprima come docente di armonia, poi ottenendo una cattedra di composizione. Didatta rigoroso, fu autore di vari scritti teorici e metodi di perdurante successo: da ricordare fra gli altri il Trattato di contrappunto e fuga (1901).  Annoverò fra i suoi allievi Gustave Doret, Paul Dukas, Xavier Leroux, Albéric Magnard, Édouard Risler, Guy Ropartz, Spiro Samara, Henriette Renié e Florent Schmitt.

Sposò nel 1872 la pianista Jeanne Duvinage (1843-1922), che lo rese padre di due figli: il secondogenito, Charles (1877-1965), divenne archeologo e membro dell'École française di Roma.

Pur non intervenendo di frequente nel dibattito musicale, il suo contributo alla musica francese fu considerato della massima importanza e gli valse nel 1894 l'elezione a membro dell'Académie des Beaux-Arts (dove andò a occupare il seggio lasciato vacante da Charles Gounod). Divenuto ormai una figura di indiscussa autorevolezza all'interno della scena musicale parigina, la carriera accademica di Dubois culminò nel 1896 con la sua nomina a direttore del conservatorio in seguito alla scomparsa di Ambroise Thomas.

Da un riepilogo dei suoi incarichi risulta chiara la sua progressiva ascesa ai vertici del mondo musicale parigino dell'epoca, che lo portò ad essere tra i protagonisti della scena musicale francese nella seconda metà del secolo:

 1855-1858: Organiste accompagnateur alla Cattedrale di San Luigi degli Invalidi
 1858-1868: Chiesa di Santa Clotilde
 1858-1863: Organiste accompagnateur (con Franck organista titolare)
 1863-1868: Maestro del coro
 1869-1896: Chiesa della Madeleine
 1869-1877: Maestro del coro
 1877-1896: Organista titolare (successore di Saint-Saëns)
 1871-1896: docente al Conservatorio di Parigi
 1871-1891: docente di armonia
 1891-1896: cattedra di composizione (successore di Léo Delibes)
 1891-1896: Ispettore per l'educazione musicale
 1896-1905: direttore del Conservatorio di Parigi.

La direzione del Conservatorio di Parigi
La sua impostazione fu in sostanziale continuità con le tendenze conservatrici del suo predecessore Thomas. Dubois fu estremamente avverso alle innovazioni di Claude Debussy, arrivando nel 1902 a vietare agli studenti di assistere alle recite di Pelléas et Mélisande.

Sembra tuttavia importante ricordare che Dubois, pur nel suo essere conservatore, contribuì ad introdurre il "nuovo" all'interno del conservatorio parigino: intraprese l'ampliamento dei programmi di studio e soprattutto fu il promotore della nomina di Gabriel Fauré (già Maestro del coro alla Madeleine durante il titolariato di Dubois) come successore alla cattedra di composizione di Jules Massenet, contro il parere dei suoi colleghi più intransigenti. Fu tra i detrattori del modernismo di Maurice Ravel, il che finì (ironicamente) per anticipare il suo pensionamento.

Nel 1905, in seguito allo scandalo divampato in seguito all'esclusione di Ravel dagli ammessi al Prix de Rome, venne sostituito alla guida del conservatorio da Fauré su decisione del governo francese.

Gli ultimi anni
Dopo il pensionamento si dedicò completamente alla composizione, trascorrendo il suo tempo tra Parigi e la sua villa nel suo paese natale, Rosnay. A questo periodo risale inoltre la pubblicazione del suo celebre Trattato di armonia (1921), summa di una lunga esperienza didattica, e tutt'oggi in uso in vari conservatori del mondo.

Morì a Parigi all'età di 86 anni.

Produzione musicale
Dubois fu un compositore particolarmente prolifico, il suo catalogo consta di oltre 500 lavori che coprono praticamente tutti i generi musicali.

Buona parte della sua produzione è formata da un vastissimo corpus di brani cameristici per varie formazioni (duo, trio, quartetto, quintetto), musica per pianoforte, per organo, musica vocale da camera e musica sinfonica per orchestra (con e senza solisti). Tale produzione fu senz'altro stimolata dalle attività della Société Nationale de Musique, alle cui attività Dubois partecipò con entusiasmo fin dai suoi albori nel 1871.

Si dedicò anche all'opera, producendo alcuni titoli che, andati in scena in vari teatri di Parigi, ebbero un'accoglienza positiva ma non entusiastica. Forse per questo motivo abbandonò ulteriori dopo la nomina a direttore del conservatorio.

Il successo più importante gli venne tuttavia prevalentemente dalla copiosa e sfarzosa produzione sacra (messe, cantate, oratori), che rimane tutt'oggi eseguita in Francia con una certa frequenza.

A major fire has engulfed much of one of France's most famous landmarks - the medieval Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Its spire has collapsed. A major fire has engulfed one of France's most famous landmarks - the medieval Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
A major operation to tackle the blaze is under way at the 850-year-old Gothic building. A Paris fire official said the main structure had now been 'saved and preserved'.
A spokesman for the Paris fire department said the next hour and a half was "crucial" in order to determine whether the fire could be contained. Loud bangs could be heard as flames burst through the cathedral's roof, also and destroying its stain-glass windows.
Loud bangs could be heard as flames burst through the roof of the cathedral, also engulfing its left tower. All efforts are now being put into saving the cathedral's artwork and preventing the collapse of its northern tower.
Thousands of people have gathered in the streets around the cathedral, observing the flames in silence. Some could be seen crying, while others sang hymns. The deputy interior minister Laurent Nunes told reporters it was "not certain" that it could be saved.
Mr Macron has cancelled his planned speech to the nation following the fire, an Élysée Palace official said. Mr Macron had earlier cancelled an important TV speech to the nation because of the fire, an Élysée Palace official said.
"There will be nothing left," he said. "It remains to be seen whether the vault, which protects the cathedral, will be affected or not." "It remains to be seen whether the vault, which protects the cathedral, will be affected or not", he said.
The Notre-Dame cathedral, a popular tourist attraction is undergoing renovations after cracks began to appear in the stone, sparking fears the structure could become unstable. The Vatican has said news of the fire has caused "shock and sadness," adding that it was praying for the French fire services.
The Paris prosecutor's office said it has opened an inquiry into the incident. No injuries have been reported so far and buildings in the surrounding area have been evacuated.

We have made it to the FINAL FOUR, folks! We had two 14 seeds make their respective finals...will they have enough star power left to win it all?
We have made it to the Sweet Sixteen of the Movie Madness – Acting Edition Tournament!


So where did we go. I last left you in Cobh. On Thursday we drove along the coast to Bantry Bay via Kinsale, Courtmacsherry, Clonakilty, Skibbereen, heading east at Glengarriff and visited the gardens on Garnish Island( Ilnacullin) just a couple of hundred yards down the road. A small ferry took us out to the island passed a group of seals who were sunbathing and did not care about the boat. We then drove a short distance north and took the "Ring of Kerry" road down to Cathair Donall, Cahirsiveen and up to a B&B just outside Tralee.
Off to Ireland. Tuesday morning we left Crewe and headed to Wales to board a ferry to Dublin.
We had lunch at a small town with a rather large name.
The vistas along the road were wonderful.
A Dublin church. There must have either been 2000 of them or we saw the back and front of 1000.
Wednesday we head out again.
I am beginning to wonder if there are more cows than people. Green grass and cows were everywhere.
Lots of roadside attractions…..them or us ????
Courtown Harbour, a wonderful spot top stop and stretch.
Today was a wonderful day just spending time with great friends.
We assembled at the home of Stella & Ernie Russell. Present were Doreen Grierson, James Pitt-Payne, Dale and I.These are all great friends who we have met through Rotary and never would have met without the International Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians.
During the lunch I presented James with a Paul Harris Fellowship in the name of his late wife Jacqui who was a wonderful loving and caring individual who supported James in all his Rotary activities.
What a wonderful wedding. It took place in a 1000 year old church in Bekesbourne. A small church but absolutely beautiful. The ceremony was simple but wonderful. Dale and I both agreed it was the best we have ever attended. The reception following was at the home of Sarah's parents. Rose & James Baker are warm and welcoming people who made us feel very comfortable.
Speaking to the vicar after the wedding he told us that the estate at the bottom of the hill (see up one photo) was the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Later the cottage on the left was used by Ian Flemming when he was writing the James Bond stories. The local school bus route was numbered "007".
After a flight that was 75 minutes late leaving Halifax ( at 1 am) we made it to Heathrow. The flight was the usual uncomfortable situation where about every 20 minutes there was a "bong" and we were told to fasten out seatbelts. Needless to say no sleep.
James Pitt-Payne met us at the airport and took us to Gravesend where Doreen Grierson fed us lunch and then both Dale and I had a most needed nap. Then off to a a restaurant for some dinner. The photo below shows on the left, Tina Mallard, James and Doreen, and on the right Barry (Baz) Mallard, myself and Dale.
I cannot forget that if it had not been for Rotary we never would be making this trip and visiting with such wonderful people. Later today we will be attending the wedding of Ben & Sarah Grierson in Canterbury. Photos will follow.
Gord received Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Hey! Was I ever surprised when I received a call from the Office of the Premier of Nova Scotia asking me to attend a ceremony and accept the Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Even more surprising was the fact that both Kim and Tina were recognized and known by the Premier. Kim had in the past babysat his son and he is a regular at The Vines which is Tina & Hans' restaurant.

For those who enjoy old music please drop by James Pitt-Payne's Midi Website (http://www.pitt-payne.com/ ) James will be our chauffeur from the airport to Gravesend and we will be staying at his home in Beckenham one night. Again another wonderful Rotarian and friend.
I recently hired a local chap to cut some trees for firewood for me. Here is an example of his work.


A course to help physicians care for patients from different cultural backgrounds.
The better you understand your patient's language and culture, the easier it is to elicit a useful history, investigate symptoms, reach a correct diagnosis, and coordinate a mutually-agreeable treatment and follow-up plan with your patient. Ideally, therefore, every patient should be matched with a physician who is fluent in both the patient's primary language and his cultural background. But in a world of 6 billion people divided among 191 nations and speaking over 6000 languages, this isn't always possible. And as America becomes increasingly diverse, you will inevitably find yourself attempting to diagnose and treat patients whose language, culture and beliefs may be totally unfamiliar to you. Despite these barriers, you will still be expected to provide such patients with the same quality, compassionate care as you provide to those from mainstream American culture. And to do this, you must develop cultural competence.
1. Explain the inherent dangers of allowing friends or family of the patient to serve as translators.
2. Describe the correct protocol for working with a translator.
3. Determine whether a patient from a different language or culture understands you well enough to offer informed consent and to carry out follow-up instructions.
4. Design specific strategies for identifying and overcoming communication barriers that may be interfering with your ability to provide appropriate care.
This course is designed for those who want to improve their ability to care for patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Neither Dr. Gafner nor Dr. Schutte have any relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests.
This course is valid from 5/1/2017 and expires 4/30/2020.

Jennifer Hostetler, left, and Stacy Schrock look at some clothing donated for anyone in need of a new outfit for the Hollywood Premiere dance. More donations of formal clothing in adult sizes are needed.
When it was learned a Tim Tebow Foundation Night to Shine event would not be held locally this year, many in the community sprang into action.
"So many people's lives have been touched by that dance. It was disappointing that it was not going to happen," Cassie Elvin of Starlight Enterprises Inc. said.
The idea for a similar formal dance was launched. "I thought we certainly would be able to do this. Buckeye Career Center and DJ Steve Kelly were my first two calls. It's just kind of taken off from there. Buckeye said we could use their space, and that was perfect. We were also looking for a space that was going to be accessible for everyone," Elvin said.
Elvin then reached out to others in the community who were more than willing to help. A committee of volunteers from Starlight Enterprises Inc., Challenger Baseball, Dover-New Philadelphia Food Pantry, NewPointe Community Church, Advocates for Success, Tuscarawas County Board of Developmental Disabilities, New Century Business, Bradford Homes, Horizons, Tuscarawas County Special Olympics and New Life Center began meeting in early 2019 to plan a similar dance.
Though it's a formal dance, formal wear is not required. "We decided our main goal is to let people have fun. From those at SEI, we knew that everyone loves music and loves to dance. So what better way to get together and have fun?" Elvin said.
There was much enthusiasm among the individuals when they learned a spring formal would be held. "They were very happy, jumping up and down," Elvin said.
The free dance, Hollywood Premiere, will be held on Friday, April 26 from 6-9 p.m. The individuals selected the theme for the dance.
Unlike the Night to Shine, which statistics showed more attendees came from out of the county than in, the Hollywood Premiere is limited to individuals from Tuscarawas County. Dance attendees must be 18 years of age or older with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To date, 127 individuals have registered to attend.
As at a Hollywood Premiere, they'll be a red carpet for those attending to walk, and their names will be announced as they make their way into the dance. Organizers also are looking for anyone willing to donate palm trees for the event. Committees are working on Hollywood-themed decorations in black, white, silver and blue.
Transportation has long been a problem for individuals with DD, leaving many unable to attend evening events. Through their committee discussions, SEI and other providers decided to change their program hours the day of the dance so anyone who wants to attend will have transportation to and from the event if needed.
The registration form, which was revised several times in the planning process, addressed the issue by asking the questions: Do you need a buddy or do you have a buddy?
More volunteer buddies are needed for the event, and all buddies must undergo a background check to be approved as a volunteer at the event. The TuscBDD is providing the checks, but an appointment must be made.
There will be no spectator or observation areas available. Family members, caregivers and friends will not be permitted to enter the dance unless they are an approved buddy or approved event volunteer.
There are other ways the public can help. More donations of formal clothing in adult sizes are needed. Monetary donations also are needed to help defray the costs of the event. Donations may be sent to Starlight Enterprises Inc., P.O. Box 1054, New Philadelphia, OH 44663.


MOSCOW — After a week of turmoil for Olympic hockey, Russia believes it is poised to be the big winner at the 2018 Games in South Korea.
The country has waited more than 25 years for an Olympic gold medal, and its top league wants to fight the N.H.L. for international markets, so the absence of N.H.L. players from the Pyeongchang Games next February could be, well, a golden opportunity.
The Olympics are "the biggest, most significant event in global sports," said Vyacheslav Bykov, who won a gold medal as a player at the Games in 1988 and 1992 and later coached Russia's national team. "Competing at the Olympics is much more important than the Stanley Cup."
The Russian hockey system is a tangled web of sports, government and commercial interests, but all of those parties see Olympic gold as a national priority. Since Bykov and the Unified Team of former Soviet republics won gold in Albertville, France, 25 years ago, the best Olympic result for Russia has been a 1-0 loss to the Czech Republic in the gold-medal game in 1998 — the first Olympic tournament in which N.H.L. players were allowed to take part. On its home ice in Sochi in 2014, Russia lost, 3-1, to Finland in the quarterfinals.
The N.H.L.'s announcement Monday that it would not shut down so its players could play in Pyeongchang leaves Russia in a strong position. It is home to the Kontinental Hockey League, widely regarded as the best professional league outside North America, with talent including former N.H.L. stars like Pavel Datsyuk, Ilya Kovalchuk and Slava Voynov. And if some N.H.L. players are allowed to play in the Olympics, Russians including Alex Ovechkin and his Washington Capitals teammates Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov, as well as the Pittsburgh star Evgeni Malkin, have said they plan to participate.
That would make Russia a gold-medal favorite even if Canada and the United States were able to count on a handful of N.H.L. stars, too.
Less familiar to North American fans are Russian players like Vadim Shipachyov, the top scorer at last year's world championships, and Evgeny Dadonov. Both were reported to be considering moves from SKA St. Petersburg of the K.H.L. to the N.H.L. this summer.
Whether they move could be a litmus test for Russia's Olympic hopes.
With players potentially facing a choice between N.H.L. contracts and playing for their country's first gold medal in a generation, the Russian Hockey Federation is trying to "bring home" stars from North America and stop emerging talent from leaving the K.H.L., the league chairman, Arkady Rotenberg, said Wednesday.
If Russian players want to go to Pyeongchang while under N.H.L. contracts, Rotenberg vowed to help with their legal costs.
Rotenberg typifies the close links between sports and the government in Russia.
A close friend of President Vladimir V. Putin's, Rotenberg became a billionaire in large part because of government contracts. His nephew, Roman Rotenberg, is vice president of SKA St. Petersburg, which signed Datsyuk, Kovalchuk and Voynov using money from the state-run natural gas company, Gazprom.
The K.H.L. relies heavily on payments from state-run companies and regional governments. With the Kremlin focused on controlling government spending, the league has recently gone through some lean years. But there are salary-cap exemptions for top Russian players who want to come home.
Scheduling a break for the Olympics is a no-brainer for the K.H.L., which already crafts its season to accommodate not only the world championships, but tuneups for the national team scattered through the year.
The K.H.L. has been pushing to beat the N.H.L. to the potentially lucrative Asian market and has had a team in China since August. If its players become Olympic stars in South Korea while the N.H.L. sits out, the K.H.L. could cement its presence in Asia.
The K.H.L. has tried to take advantage of N.H.L. missteps in the past, particularly by enticing star players to Russia during the most recent lockout, but its attempts to expand outside the former Soviet Union have often suffered from financial problems or lack of interest from local fans.
For many in Russia, though, the N.H.L.-K.H.L. intrigue is far less important than the Olympics.

It's a simple problem, but that doesn't stop it from bedeviling some computer users: What do you do if you buy a new computer and want to easily move all your old bookmarks over to the new one? In this video how-to, we'll show you two ways to export bookmarks and then upload them into a browser on your new machine.
Using Chrome, I start by going to that browser's bookmark manager and clicking Organize. I then export my bookmarks to an HTML file, choosing where to save it. From there, using email, file-sharing, or a thumb drive, I can bring my bookmarks over to a new computer.
There's an even easier way using Google Chrome. Just sign in when you use the browser. That way, whenever you're signed into Chrome on any machine, your bookmarks will travel with you.


In the position of Juror, I thought about the terms of curatorial process, here I found conflict in the duty of these titles Juror, and Curator vs. Exhibition and Festival.
I thought of creating an open call for a thematic online exhibition, but then I thought, why a festival If an online exhibition?
Digital Muddy festival was born out of The Muddy Film Festival. I asked myself what happened that there was a need for a new entity rather than just adding a new category to the existing festival. Basically it was because of presentation. Traditionally film festivals are screened in a cinematic setting; here the new category Digital was just to broad a category and many of the works were not made for just presentation. This all sounds very simple, but really not.
I see www.digitalmuddy.com as a publication. The publication is user friendly, and the information can be viewed, individually or collectively. The festival will continue to expand adding dimension to the terms, perspectives, and most definitely positions where these works, practices can be seen and further explored. One could also refer to the site as instructional for installation or presentation.
My objective as a curator is to pursue information as a survey; that can be structured as theme or narrative. It is my sincere intention for you to expand upon my findings. My criteria for these selected works were based on artist objective, craft, and experimentation with the uses of both new and traditional mediums, concept, and process.

In Aloria there is me, a left-wing party, and four right-wing parties, another left-wing party would be nice.
Once the Hulstrian regime is gone, we'll likely have some sort of multi-party democracy again. I don't really want to be stuck as the Septembrists forever (yearning to re-establish the HDV), and without RPers to help flesh out multi-party competition it's hard to sustain, so some social democrats, liberals, conservatives or other democratic parties, possibly originating from the Septembrist Movement like the parties of old H&GS, would be nice!

In Luthori we could do with a moderate party or two - right now our political system is split between one far-left party, one right-wing party, two far-right parties, and two parties which haven't really done much in the way of roleplaying. A social democratic, progressive, or liberal conservative party would very much be welcome.
We only have 3 parties in Aldurie and while we're all pretty active in RP, you can only have so much happening with 3 parties. we have a far-left party (me) a centre left party and a very ideologically varied party called the Pirate Party. A conservative, centrist, fascist or monarchist party would help make things more interesting.
We need an active, serious, deep RPer in Hawu Mumenhes because I'm doing all the RP myself and its burning me out. Let me just say this: Hawu Mumenhes has the coolest system of government in the game, bar none. Why don't any serious RPers seem to want to play in HM?

The $92.8 million civil penalty levied against former Galleon Management hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, despite claims the district court abused its discretion by imposing the hefty penalty.

Preferred Partnership Program
CTP Announces First Preferred Partnership Agreement
Posted by Morgan Cox on February 22, 2022 under General
SWOG Clinical Trials Partnerships Announces Preferred Partnership Program's First Collaboration
SWOG Clinical Trials Partnerships (SWOG CTP) has signed a collaborative research agreement with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation to form a strategic alliance via our Preferred Partnership Program that will jointly develop and conduct clinical trials investigating potential new cancer treatments.
This relationship will carry out clinical and translational research under the scientific leadership of the SWOG Cancer Research Network using investigational drugs developed by Novartis. This preferred partnership will initially focus on testing treatments for leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and myelofibrosis.
"SWOG CTP is excited by the possibilities of this preferred partnership with Novartis," said Charles D. Blanke, MD, group chair of the SWOG Cancer Research Network. "Novartis's very deep and impressive pipeline of investigational cancer drugs offers great potential for our patients."
SWOG CTP is the mechanism the SWOG Cancer Research Network uses to collaborate with industry partners. It is a limited liability corporation under SWOG's charitable arm, The Hope Foundation, and is directed by Kathy S. Albain, MD, SWOG vice chair for Clinical Trials Partnerships.
The collaboration under the Preferred Partnership Program, SWOG CTP's first, will pursue a range of clinical trial strategies and designs appropriate to each disease site or pathway being targeted. These may include master protocols or multiple parallel phase II trials, or may follow a platform approach to test agents across multiple diseases or subtypes. These models would allow for the development of subsequent phase III or drug registration study designs.
The partnership is governed by a joint steering committee, consisting of senior leaders from both organizations, that provides executive oversight of conducted studies. SWOG will function as the sponsor of these studies for regulatory purposes.

Celtic transfer latest: Mohamed Elyounoussi £9m price tag, Fabricio Bruno agent warning, advice from John Hughes
Mohamed Elyounoussi has impressed while on loan but Celtic may need to splash out to sign him, while any bid for Brazilian Bruno could hinge on a tangled relationship between player, selling club and agent.

Southampton want £9m for Mohamed Elyounoussi
Southampton would be prepared to accept an offer of £9 million for winger Mohamed Elyounoussi who impressed on loan at Celtic during the first half of the season.
The English Premier League club paid £16m to land the Norwegian from Swiss side Basel in summer 2018 but he made just 16 league appearance for Southampton.
He joined Celtic on loan last summer and has scored seven goals in 13 appearances in all competitions despite his season being disrupted by injuries.
He helped Celtic win the Betfred Cup final against Rangers last month.
Southampton are keen to offload Elyounoussi and, according to the Daily Express, would take a fee in the region of £9m, the same amount Celtic paid Paris Saint-Germain to sign Odsonne Edouard, their record signing.
Celtic warned about Fabricio Bruno's agent
Celtic's pursuit of the Brazilian defender Fabricio Bruno has been complicated by a warning over the player's agent.
Saulo Froes, the chairman of Bruno's club Cruzeiro, has told all clubs interested in the player not to deal with Fabio Mello who he says is "wholly unethical".
Bruno, 24, is trying to get out of his contract at the Belo Horizonte-based club after accusing them of failing to pay him.
The matter is mired in a legal battle.
Froes said: "The player's agent is wholly unethical. I would urge all clubs around the world to have nothing to do with him."
Former defender says Celtic need a new striker
Former Celtic defender John Hughes believes the club need a new striker as back-up to Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths as they bid to hold off the challenge from Rangers and win a ninth consecutive Scottish title.
Griffiths has played only sporadically this season due to injuries and personal issues and Hughes would like to see more support for the front men.
"I'm always worried about Griff with that calf problem and maybe Celtic need to bring in another striker," Hughes told The Scotsman.
He thinks the destiny of the title could hinge on the business Celtic and Rangers do in January.
"It will be massive what both clubs do in the window now," he said.
"I think Celtic will bring in two or three, I'm not sure Rangers need two or three."
