The Greatest Hallmark Films Ever

Effectively there have been many new and upcoming releases, that come out in the course of the holidays. Blood Diamond, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and released in 2006, was filmed principally in South Africa, despite being set in Sierra Leone, mostly due to the superior infrastructure accessible here supporting this dimension of film manufacturing.
The price of producing films in that era was financially back breaking, with Nigerians additional irritating the efforts of the filmmakers by opting to look at movies of occidental and oriental origin on the Cinemas and Exhibition centres, rather than the locally produced ones.

Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and household travel across the nation to get to Wally World, the films version of Disney Land. A lot of the movies of the time had been made in Igbo language with English subtitles.

Television commercials on new releases are sufficient to entice tens of millions of film lovers who run off to the movie theatres to look at these motion pictures.

Tv commercials on new releases are enough to entice hundreds of thousands of movie lovers who run off to the movie theatres to observe those films. This movie will get Meyer labeled a feminist by some film critics but Meyer himself denied this by saying, I simply thought it will be enjoyable to have the ladies beat up on the lads for a change." In later films the women continued to be dominant and were usually the heroes whereas the men of his films have been either clueless or villains.
Thank you – I've simply looked at a number of other lists of 'finest no matter' movies they usually're all nothing but "Dirty Dancing", "Titanic", "An Officer and a Gentleman", and so forth, etc – no matter what the record is, 'Greatest Haunted SciFi Kung Fu Love Story' = effectively after all, it is "Fairly Woman".

Russia lodges surreal claim against Ukraine in Strasbourg
25 July 2021 25 July 2021 / editors (JC)
DMITRIEV's recent problems can be traced back to 5 August 2014 when he denounced the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of east Ukraine at Sandarmokh during the annual Day of Remembrance. This spring, over five years after since his arrest in mid-December 2016, lawyers from Memorial submitted an appeal on his behalf to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. In Russia, meanwhile, his case has reached the Supreme Court.
Here Halya Coynash discusses Russia's own bizarre appeal to the ECtHR, concerning the shooting down of flight MH17 in July 2014 and the issue of mainland supplies of water to Crimea, occupied by Russia since February 2014 (24 July, Human Rights in Ukraine).

"Russia has lodged its first ever inter-state application at the European Court of Human Rights [ECtHR], with a series of claims against Ukraine. There seem no grounds for taking any of the accusations seriously, however two are of particularly staggering cynicism.
After sending the BUK surface-to-air missile carrier to Donbas where it was used to down Malaysian airliner MH17 and kill all 298 passengers and crew on board, Russia has brought a claim against Ukraine for not having closed its airspace. It has also accused Ukraine of not providing water to Crimea, invaded by Russia in February 2014 and illegally occupied ever since.
Punished for memorialising Sandarmokh
29 January 2020 15 December 2020 / editors (JC)
Russian historian Yury DMITRIEV turned 64 on 28 January 2020. It was his third birthday detained on charges that bear no scrutiny, and, writes Halya Coynash, his arrest coincided with the beginnings of a campaign to rewrite the history of one of the darkest pages of the Soviet Terror – the mass killing by quota of Russians, Ukrainians and other prisoners of the Solovetsky Archipelago at the Sandormokh Clearing in Karelia in 1937.

If the current regime in Russia was hoping to silence Dmitriev, it has failed. The historian and head of the Karelian branch of the Memorial Society has just published a book entitled Sandarmokh: A Place of Memory, providing information about both the victims and the perpetrators of the mass executions in the forest.
The Search for Sandormokh
2 October 2019 13 December 2020 / editors (JC)	/ 3 Comments
"Twenty years ago, it seemed to us that Sandormokh as a place and these acts of remembrance divided the present from the past," said Irina FLIGE in August 2017, at the Day of Remembrance at Sandormokh. "Today, unfortunately, we must recognise that memories of the Great Terror have not become part of our [shared] memory …"
The previous year two historians at Petrozavodsk University had put forward a 'new hypothesis' as to who lay buried in the woods outside Medvezhegorsk; in the Karelian capital, Yury Dmitriev was spending his eighth month in jail.
It took years to locate Karelia's largest killing ground of the late 1930s. Irina Flige's account of that long, painstaking quest is described in her The Search for Sandormokh, which was launched in Moscow in July 2019. At the same press conference the proposed excavations by the Russian Military History Society were exposed and condemned. Meanwhile, Dmitriev, acquitted in April 2018, was on trial for a second time and once again incarcerated in Petrozavodsk's Detention Centre No 1.
Ukraine's "executed renaissance"
8 May 2019 13 December 2020 / editors (JC)	/ 2 Comments
Acclaimed curator and theatre director from New York Virlana Tkacz and artist Waldemart Klyuzko will give a talk in London tonight about Les KURBAS, Ukraine's most important theatre director, who radically transformed Ukrainian theatre in the 1920s.
Kurbas and almost three hundred other representatives of Ukraine's intelligentsia were shot at Sandarmokh between 27 October and 4 November 1937. They have become known as Ukraine's "Executed Renaissance".

Another of those shot at Sandarmokh between 27 October and 4 November 1937 was Oleksiy SARVAN (1893-1937). The March 1937 Resolution from the White Sea Canal corrective-labour camps (see below) sends Sarvan for trial because of his "systematic anti-Soviet work" among his fellow prisoners.

Home/Poker/Haxton Continues Heater With 2023 PCA $100K Super High Roller Victory
Haxton Continues Heater With 2023 PCA $100K Super High Roller Victory
The first High Roller of the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure wrapped up today with $100,000 PCA Super High Roller, an event that saw three players taking home seven figures after an ICM chop between Isaac Haxton ($1,082,230), Seth Davies ($1,078,347) and Adrian Mateos ($1,095,903). The players agreed to play out the tournament turbo-style, and in the end, it was Haxton who took home the shimmering golden trophy.
Haxton has had as good of a start to the new year as anyone could hope for as on Jan. 20 he took down a PokerGO Cup $50,000 high roller in Las Vegas for $598,000. Less than a week later, the American takes home nearly double that after getting through the field of 49 runners and navigating a six-handed final table on Day 3.
"I don't think I've ever won two tournaments in a row before, and these are pretty good ones to do it in," Haxton told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "So yeah, I'm feeling great. This is a fantastic start to the year."
Only seven places paid in the Super High Roller that marked the return of the legendary PCA stop, and those who found a return on their $100,000 investment included Spain's Juan Pardo (4th – $522,900) and Canada's Mike Watson (5th – $404,100), Daniel Dvoress (6th – $320,900) and Timothy Adams (7th – $249,600), who fell on Day 2 shortly after securing the minimum cash.
$100,000 PCA Super High Roller Final Table Results
1st Isaac Haxton United States $1,082,230*
2nd Seth Davies United States $1,078,347*
3rd Adrian Mateos Spain $1,095,903*
4th Juan Pardo Spain $522,900
5th Mike Watson Canada $404,100
6th Daniel Dvoress Canada $320,900
7th Timothy Adams Canada $249,600
*Denotes three-handed ICM deal
Where It All Began
An accomplished high stakes professional who had $30.5 million in Hendon Mob-reported earnings heading into the event, the 37-year-old got his live poker start right here in The Bahamas.
Isaac Haxton
Back in 2007, a younger, longer-haired Haxton finished second in the PCA WPT Championship for $861,789, his first-ever live cash. Many poker fans will remember an epic clip of Haxton bluffing Ryan Daut as his dark brown hair waved in the wind during an outdoor heads-up battle that only could've taken place at the height of the Poker Boom.
The runner-up finish was a sign of PCA results to come for Haxton, who had two small first-place finishes at PCA before his latest victory.
"I've done quite well here in The Bahamas, and it feels fantastic to add another score to the list," said Haxton. "I like being here, like playing these tournaments, and yeah, I feel great about it."
From Chip Leader to Next Out, Twice
The four hours of play on Day 3 can only be described as swingy as Day 1 and Day 2 chip leader Watson went out in fifth after a colossal bluff against Pardo that left him as the short stack before he called off with king-ten to be dominated by the ace-ten of the eventual champion.
Mike Watson
The bluff-catch gave Pardo a dominant four-handed chip lead but it was short-lived as the Spanish pro doubled up Davies before losing even more to the Oregonian. Just an hour after taking the huge chip lead, Pardo was out in fourth when his ace-queen was pipped by the Big Slick of Haxton.
Haxton managed to pick up all the right hands at the right time. Earlier in the day, he was at risk of busting in sixth when he was all-in against Dvoress. Luckily for him, it was only a small risk as he had pocket aces to crush the ace-king of Dvoress, who fell shortly after in sixth.
"To be honest, I had in a lot of ways the kind of uneventful final table," Haxton said. "I didn't play that many interesting post-flop spots or anything like that. I just got great hands. My opponents got slightly worse ones, and I got all the chips. That's how it goes sometimes."
But Haxton couldn't sun-run forever, and he doubled up Mateos twice during three-handed play to even things out. The three agreed to an ICM chop that left the Spanish crusher taking home the biggest portion of the $4,753,980 prize pool and Davies picking up his biggest career live cash by a few pips (his previous best was ($1,020,000).
Adrian Mateos
"I think Seth and Adrian are both really great players, so once we got to even stacks, I was perfectly happy to chop it up. When I had the big chip lead, I thought, you know, I have an advantage there from the chip lead that isn't fully captured by the same calculation, and it's hard to agree on a number," Haxton said.
He added, "So we didn't really even discuss it up until that point. I think basically everyone's on the same page about that. It's really difficult to chop three-handed when stacks are very different because it's hard to reach an agreement about what everybody's position is worth. But then once it got to equal, I think, yeah, we're all just happy to lock $1,000,000 each and call it a day."
Haxton, who played the entire event in an N95 mask, has been relatively inactive on the live circuit in recent years, primarily out of caution of the coronavirus, but he said he plans on adding more stops to his schedule.
"I've been quite cautious about COVID since that started, but I expect that in 2023 I will be back at quite a lot of the major tournaments," he said.
That wraps up the PokerNews live reporting team's covering of the exciting $100,000 PCA Super High Roller to kick off the 2023 PCA. Be sure to check out the team's coverage of all the other exciting events taking place here in The Bahamas.

Kelli Maroney
Nov 30, 2017 | Guests
Kelli Maroney began her career acting and studying at the Guthrie Theater in her native Minneapolis. Like her fellow horror heroine Barbara Crampton, Maroney's first roles were on daytime television: evil adolescent Kimberly Harris on RYAN'S HOPE and the vengeful Tina Clayton Lord Roberts on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. She made her film debut as 'Spirit Bunny' Cindy Carr in the teen comedy classic FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982).
Maroney achieved her greatest enduring cult popularity, however, in the horror and science fiction genres with NIGHT OF THE COMET (1984) and CHOPPING MALL (1986). Maroney has often cheerfully poked fun at her own B-movie starlet image in numerous TV guest star appearances, such as a crazed evangelist on HBO's TRUE BLOOD. She has also continued to act on the stage in Los Angeles in productions such as PINK at the Renegade Theater, OUTWARD BOUND at the Hudson Backstage, THE EDGE OF ALLEGIANCE at the Met theater.
Maroney lives in Hollywood and has several projects in development as actor/producer.
Barbara Crampton is a classically trained theater actress who started on the stage in New York before eventually moving to LA, where she landed a role on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Daytime television, including iconic shows like THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, would continue to be a force throughout her career.
Crampton had a few brief roles in BODY DOUBLE (1984) and FRATERNITY VACATION (1985) before making a cult splash as Megan Halsey in Stuart Gordon's now-midnight classic RE-ANIMATOR (1985). In fact, the film suited her so well that she re-joined her RE-ANIMATOR costar Jeffrey Combs in another Lovecraftian adaptation, FROM BEYOND, just a year later. She found somewhat of a niche in horror, appearing throughout the 80s in cult classics like CHOPPING MALL (1986), alongside fellow Silver Scream guest Kelli Maroney, and PUPPETMASTER (1989).
Crampton took an extended break from acting to raise a family, but when she finally returned to the screen, it was horror that brought her back: Adam Wingard's YOU'RE NEXT (2011). The second stage of her acting career has also been dominated by genre films, including WE ARE STILL HERE (2015), Rob Zombie's LORDS OF SALEM (2012), and BEYOND THE GATES (2016). She recently filmed a role in the star-studded extravaganza DEATH HOUSE.

Training Corps

It was with a pensive heart that Laria retreated behind the barracks, for a quiet smoke and a moment of solitude. This would be an unusual year, the next intake of cadets formed from willing enlistees and reluctant conscripts alike. Not only that, there would be those shaped and scarred by the events of Shiganshina, a catastrophe beyond reckoning. That humanity's defences could be breached was unthinkable and, while the three main military factions were facing scrutiny (though the Military Police seemed to escape the worst of it, as they always did), the Training Corps had been mercifully overlooked. It appeared their sole purpose was to diligently and voicelessly churn out the next generation of soldiers.
Laria huffed, feeling a touch resentful, and exhaled a plume of smoke into the cool spring air. Her thoughts turned to the Survey Corps - her former regiment - and to Commander Erwin. What a hellscape he had to navigate in these trying times.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught movement.
It was as though she was fifteen again, hiding behind the storeroom with a handful of other cadets, passing a smouldering cigarette between them. Countless stolen moments had been spent plotting their futures, as if the adolescents had a chance of controlling what would befall them, as if they were the masters of their own destinies. Laria would never have guessed that a leg brace was written into her stars, nor would she have ever believed it was preferable to the alternative.
Reflexively, the instructor straightened and focused her attention on the newcomer, the hand holding the cigarette dropping to where it would be half-hidden by her hip.
Tyler Morgan
Alias: Samara
Re: New Kid on the Block
It was all so new and familiar at the same time. Years had passed since Tyler graduated from the Training Corps, but walking around the grounds it felt like it only happened yesterday. The place where he had fought one of his greatest fears and won. Fulfilled the expectations, ranked in the top ten and secured a place to work for the MP. A place where he had found a home with his team. A place where he can't return to as long as he was recovering.
Keith Shadis, the man in charge of the Training Corps, had just finished showing Tyler around his future work place. The man reminded Tyler strongly of his own instructors. If this was good or bad, Tyler wasn't too sure. However it was a sign that not much had changed since his days at Cadet. It soothing thought. The only big change were the Cadets forced into service after the fall of Wall Maria. There had always been a few kids forced into military service due to their family's bad financial situation, but it had never been such a large percentage like it will be this year.
Tyler decided to spent the first free minutes of the day sinning. His leg had started to hurt halfway through Shadis' tour and a cigarette was a tempting way to distract him from his pain. The man wasn't sure when and why he had picked up smoking as a habit. There had been a few cigarettes as Cadet, but that was more because of the forbidden touch, the danger it posed when you got caught. The real beginning had been when he joined his unit in the MP and his superior asked if Tyler will accompany him to smoke. It soon developed into a ritual and it got really bad during the last weeks. Bound to a bed smoking had often been the only thing keeping him from destroying his room.
When he reached the spot they had used as Cadets, it took him longer than in the past and Tyler cursed his limp, Tyler saw that someone was already there. He was nearly relieved when the woman turned out to be too old to be a Cadet. Reprimanding Cadet's for their behavior wasn't something Tyler wanted to do at his first day. The woman wore the Training Corps uniform, so she probably was another instructor. "Hello, I don't think we have been introduced yet. I'm Tyler Morgan, the new instructor for survival skills," he greeted the woman and tried to sound friendly, even though the pain in his leg dampened his mood. "I think there will be some official introductions later on. I hope it doesn't bother you if I join you for a smoke?"

As the second largest city in Slovenia, Maribor oozes the historic charm of a relaxed, medieval town. It is no wonder, then, that in 2012 Maribor was awarded the flattering title "European Capital of Culture". "A life well lived" could very well be the slogan for the capital of Slovenia's Styria region, for its greatest asset is its extraordinary access to nature, with an attractive position between the Drava river, the green Pohorje plateau on one side and, on the other, sunny wine-growing hills that stretch all the way to the Austrian border and beyond. With its quality congress/business capacities and opportunities for unique experiences combined with picturesque surroundings and the warm hospitality of the people, Maribor is becoming increasingly renowned as a host destination for conventions, seminars, and other meetings and events.
Maribor, due to its incredible landscape, offers extensive sports activities all-year-round. As an example of its good practice in preparations and hosting of various sports events, Maribor collected in December 2017 its title as the European City of Sport 2018. In the frame of the programme as the European City of Sport 2018, Maribor has been this year hosting several sports events, including the AETF Senior and Junior European Taekwon-Do Championships, the IXS European downhill cup, the Ice Hockey Women's World Championship Division II, the Vinoeuro, the European football championship of wine producers, the FIMBA European Maxibasketball Championship (European Basketball Championships for veterans), and the European Kickboxing Championships, to name a few. In addition, Maribor is well known for one worldwide attraction – the annual Golden Fox FIS Ski World Cup which was held in February 2018, while its celebratory 55th edition will be held in February 2019.
Maribor is home to the oldest vine in the world. The "Modra kavčina" or "Žametovka" or "Žametna črnina" (Blauer Kölner), certified as being more than 400 years old, is the Guinness record holder for the oldest noble vine in the world still bearing grapes. The vine, also a protected natural monument, grows at the front of a long solid two-story old townhouse, named The Old Vine House (Hiša stare trte) situated in Lent, Maribor's old city centre, and near the serene Drava River. The Old Vine House, built in the 16th Century, is apart from being a hotspot of wine tradition and culture of Maribor, Styria and Slovenia, an exceptional event room offering wine tasting of excellent wines from the Styria region and it also offers space for business events and incentives. The uniqueness of the world's oldest vine, located in the old town core of Slovenia`s second biggest city, spiced up by excellent wine and food creations and the notorious hospitality of the locals, definitely results in the uniqueness of the event itself. This year, a catering & cultural event in front of the Old Vine House for the guests of the Slovenian Incoming Workshop was held.
Just a short distance from Maribor, nestled among rolling green hillsides and exquisite vineyards, the Ramšak estate offers a fairytale country castle. The heart of the property is the wine-growing infrastructure surrounded by a tree house and glamorous tents furnished like luxury hotel rooms with bathrooms, spacious terraces and a garden jacuzzi. It all adds up to unique comfort mingled with the magic of sleeping under the stars, breathing fresh air, and listening to the sounds of a stream. The estate offers various experiences that give visitors an insight into the wine-making process.
The wine shop in the Old Vine house offers excellent wines made by local producers (with international success), which are also offered for wine tastings. At the moment, the wine shop boasts of 165 very best wines from the Slovenian Styria region. Unfortunately, the wine made from the Oldest Vine is not possible to taste. It is very precious; the amount is very limited and it is used as the protocol gift of the city. However, there is a great comfort to that – the wine shop sells the wine of the first descendants of the Old Vine. This unique gift can be combined also with a special jewellery made of the oldest vine's leaves.
The city of Maribor with its vicinity is a home to two of five best restaurants in Slovenia according to Austrian culinary magazine Falstaff: Hiša Denk in Zgornja Kungota with chef Gregor Vračko, and Mak restaurant in Maribor's city centre with chef David Vračko. Both of the chefs, Gregor Vračko and David Vračko, are brothers as already their surnames imply. They don't belong only among the best chefs in Slovenia, but also in Europe.
The Pohorje plateau the pride and joy of the Styria region and its capital Maribor, is a natural wonderland awash with primeval forests, lakes, waterfalls and an abundance of hiking and biking trails that criss-cross its breathtaking scenery. In winter the area is transformed into a buzzing ski resort, one of the largest and most attractive in Slovenia, an additional speciality of which is the longest night-skiing trail in the country.
Additionally, on the Pohorje plateau range, in the embrace of the intact nature of the Natura 2000 Natural Reserve Park, lies a boutique, fairytale village with eco bungalows made exclusively of natural ecological materials such as Pohorje supre timber and wool. The Ruševec Estate, consisting of the Green Village with eco-lodges, eco villa, and eco-wellness, is committed to an ecological experience of nature. This mission is also shown through its Permaculture Circle. The area is ideal for biking, hiking, running, skiing, climbing, swimming, mushroom picking and spending time in the Šumik Primeval Forest Reserve. Special treats come in the form of organised trips to the intact areas of Pohorje – the main attractions being local culture, flora, and fauna.
Maribor is not just a place to be for lovers of sports and for all wine lovers (the vineyard-covered Pyramid hill rises directly above the centre of the town what makes Maribor one of the few world's cities with a vineyard right in its centre; The Benedictine Dveri Pax cellar storing 50,000 – out of 300,000 – litres of wine in oak barrels; The Water Tower Winery; The Vinag Cellar – the largest cellar in Europe; and the three wine roads), but also for event lovers. The Styrian capital hosts numerous international events all-year-round: Lent festival, Old Vine Festival, Maribor Festival, Wine Festival, and many others. And if that is not enough, a congress guest to get even more adventure should try the traditional rafting on the Drava river. The rafts, built in Robinson Crusoe-style, offer a different insight into the beauty of Maribor's major attractions such as the Old Vine House, the two defense towers along the river, and the old town Lent. Thus, the conclusion is clear: Maribor, although still growing on the MICE map, certainly can not disappoint with the locations and activities on hand for any demanding meeting planner. It is slowly growing, but with a huge effect and there is a bright future in front of it.


Diabetes can cause the tiny blood vessels in the retina to swell and leak blood or fluid around the retina. As they heal scar tissue forms and can damage the retina so its function is less effective and consequently, vision is impaired. This disease process is known as diabetic retinopathy.
Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NDPR): This is the early stage of diabetic retinopathy. In this stage, the tiny blood vessels within the retina leak blood or fluid. The retina may have dot and blot haemorrhages, microaneurysms and exudates.
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR): This is an advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy. In this stage, there is a widespread closure of retinal blood vessels (ischaemia) preventing adequate blood flow. The retina responds by growing abnormal blood vessels (neovascularisation) in an attempt to re-establish blood supply. These abnormal blood vessels are very fragile and often leak blood or fluid into the retina, resulting in severe vision loss.
Macular oedema, macula ischaemia, vitreous haemorrhage, traction retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma are all possible conditions that can arise from diabetic retinopathy.
All people with Diabetes- both type 1 and type 2- are at risk. This is why everyone with diabetes should have a detailed eye exam at least once a year. More frequent eye checks are needed if you already have signs of retinopathy, poorly controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, or if you are pregnant?
Symptoms include: Blurred vision, difficulty reading, floaters, and distorted (wavy) vision. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy is essential for the preservation of vision. It is possible that you may not be experiencing any symptoms yet still have early signs of retinopathy.
During the early stages of diabetic retinopathy no medical treatment is needed other than more frequent eye checks. However, to prevent progression and vision loss, good control of blood sugar levels, blood pressure and blood cholesterol are essential. Regular exercise and a sensible diet are also required.
When there is more severe retinopathy or macula oedema (swelling), treatment with laser or injections into the eye is indicated. Your ophthalmologist will discuss these treatment options with you.


There are many different types of trusts, and they can be complex to set up and execute. However, a trust can be a very flexible and advantageous means to transfer your assets in the future. Most trusts can also provide current benefits, such as tax deferral and deductions. Unlike a will, a trust may help avoid probate upon your death. To learn more about trusts and how they may benefit you, we will be happy to help you consult a qualified estate planning attorney who can assist you with these issues.

The article in Sky News published on 27th February 2015: (http://news.sky.com/story/1435614/how-to-outwit-the-cunning-cyber-criminals), tells individuals how almost all social media platforms have the ability to expose an individual's information to the public world. These forums are unaware of how extreme damage can fall upon an individual whose information is exposed. In order to prevent this Dave King has spoken to Sky News urging individuals to minimize the documentation of their private life. The expert insists upon how negatively a single outsourcing of personal information done by individuals can be used negatively. The idea of choosing the right friends and allowing the right people access to social media pages was also discussed. These websites have malicious software on them. A single email triggered by a hacker or someone looking to commit cyber fraud can damage all computer systems that receive that email.
In response to the article published in BBC News, detectives at Private Detectives Peterborough (http://privatedetective-peterborough.co.uk) urge individuals to take steps that minimize the possibilities of fraud. Several social media platforms now require private details of the individuals. One must run a thorough check and read all the rules of the media platform itself. The information gives a rough idea as to how each spec of information will be provided to the public. Private detectives at Peterborough go on to warn individuals on how to protect credit card and computer fraud; both which are sprung by illegal access to intricate personal information. Detectives have asked users to avoid opening emails that seem to hold a link or an advert that seems tempting. It is these ads and links that hackers are looking for to commit fraud and gain access to phone books and computer systems. Above all, such fraud is committed with a lot of scrutiny and might leave the victim in a complex situation with no solution. Private detectives at Peterborough provide individuals with their expertise to help avoid such frauds.
The Chief Investigator at Private Detectives Peterborough, Joan Wilson, speaks up about the caution that is absolutely imperative to avoid cyber fraud. She says "It is possible for any individual to make up a new name and personality. Basically they create a whole new identity through online forums. This is where things can go very wrong. Such individuals have the ability and the capacity to get into the computer system of others. This access allows them to commit all kinds of frauds. Worst of all, sometimes they may not even leave a trace of them being there in the first place. We help people avoid such matters." Investigator Joan Wilson can be reached via email (j.wilson@privatedetective-peterborough.co.uk) or through the company's contact number (01733 860 921).

Q: Apache deflate ignores javascript I have set up deflate in my htaccess. Everything works fine, except for some reason javascript files are being ignored. I tried every possible combination of AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE with multiple mime-types but all without effect. Its not a caching issue, it actually let me believe it was working until I came home a double checked. Currently I am using this tool, site is here. You can clearly see that everything is compressed except js files (missing correct Content-Encoding unlike the js from google and css files).
Here is my current htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)">

    Deny from all

I had the DEFLATE filter out of file match as well.
Any help is appreciated, regards
Edit:
I already found the problem. Site is behind ISA firewall which removes "Content-Encoding: gzip" from js files.

A: Maybe the issue is your FilesMatch block. We've had success using AddOutputFilterByType instead.

Oct. 5, 2005 (NLTB) - "Why are they having this at the Cal Neva for a little retreat?" Schmidt asked. "It should be in downtown (Reno) with bus service free for the public so they can give feedback. "Instead there's a $50-per-plate dinner with all the government officials on Monday night paid for by your tax dollars. And all these subcommittees discussing ways to nitpick, when our tax dollars should be spent figuring out regional planning issues like sewage, water and roads." (Complete Story)
Dec 9, 2004 (RN&R) - Gary Schmidt, business owner, vice chairman of Washoe County's Board of Equalization and frequent public document-access litigant, has one small announcement he'd like to make to all those public agencies who would deny him public records: I win again. (Complete Story)
Jan 16, 2003 (RN&R) - Schmidt, who during the last few years has become a public-records activist to be reckoned with, had just come to the RN&R offices from Reno City Hall after being stymied in his pursuit of some public documents. (Complete Story)
Jan. 6, 2001 (LVRJ) - Meanwhile, in another public records case, a Washoe County district judge has cited the Supreme Court's decision in ruling that a businessman who sued Washoe County for public records is the prevailing party and therefore entitled to attorney fees even though the county eventually released the records before he could obtain a court order.

Management expert Ken Blanchard recalls a time when he conducted a sales seminar for a grocery market chain. During his training he challenged participants to "put your personal signature on something you do in order to make customers feel special so they will want to come back".
Participants jotted this notation in their notebooks thinking it a good principle to remember. But Johnny, a nineteen year old grocery store bagger with Down syndrome was uncertain that his personal signature would make much of an impact.
He understood how the store manager's impact could be great. She could make corporate decisions, offer special promotions and decide which charities to support. Johnny also understood how the cashiers who bantered cheerfully with customers could make a difference. But what impact could he have as he packaged groceries? Most people barely noticed him.
But Johnny couldn't escape Blanchard's challenge to place your personal signature on the job you've been given to do. So, determined to add value to others and do more than just offer a friendly smile, he put a plan into action.
That night he went to the computer and found various sayings that he liked. Collecting several, he made multiple copies and with the help of his dad cut them into slips to stuff into his customers' shopping bags. Every day as he arranged the groceries, he slipped his signed quotations into the bags. On the days he couldn't find just the right saying, he made up his own. Before long people usually in a hurry to get their groceries and go home started to line up at the till to which he was assigned. Some who previously shopped weekly, now came on a daily basis.
When the store manager attempted to direct customers to less crowded registers, people refused to move. Even when the line stretched deep into the aisles, people were willing to wait. No one griped about how long things were taking. Getting Johnny's message was worth waiting for.
Before long other employees found their own personal signatures to add value to others. Instead of directing customers to hard-to-find products, they led them to where they were located. Instead of watching a woman struggle with an overcrowded basket, they brought a shopping cart to ease the load. Flowers with broken stems were now saved as boutonnieres to pin on unsuspecting customers. At the end of the day, employees had energy to spare. Customers who entered the store after a long, difficult day, left with refreshed perspectives.
All this began because Johnny, whose voice would never be heard in the boardroom or in a marketing brainstorming session had a simple idea. Be a difference maker. Give from a sincere heart so others will benefit.
Johnny has much to teach us about personal wellness. But it would be wrong to merely try to copy his strategies and implement his techniques.
Johnny's workplace wasn't changed because of a strategy. It was changed because he found that his personal fingerprint communicated a purpose bigger than bagging groceries. His gift also gave people a deepened understanding that impact occurs when we see our purpose through a lens that has been properly focused.
When Johnny first stepped out, his sphere of influence was small – himself. He needed a changed understanding of the contributions he could make. As he did his small part, his influence circle grew, in time extending far beyond a groceteria's checkout line. His personal wellness grew contributing to a community's wellness.
Wellness increases when we communicate value and appreciation to those around us. It's not merely about what we do – those things are just tasks. It's more about why we do it – that is about purpose and attitude.
Those oriented to strategies can think of personal wellness as a new exercise regime, a renewed commitment to better nutrition or the institution of a new policy. Resolutions to read more books and engage in more activities help us accomplish pre-determined goals. All those things contribute to wellness but better than all those is our active engagement to be a value giver to others. Being an intentional value giver changes our actions and our outlook. If value is authentically felt and acknowledged, watch how the world around you can change.
Make no mistake – value doesn't operate in silence. It must be expressed! When it is, the culture of an organization changes and a climate of wellness grows. Organizations that ignore this do it to their peril. According to one study, four of the top five reasons people leave their place of employment is that they didn't feel that their contributions were valued and acknowledged. Simply put, these organizations know little about a culture of wellness and they pay a high price as a result.
Finding ways to authentically communicate value and express genuine appreciation for people's contributions is essential. Value sincerely given spills into all that we do. Our perspectives broaden. Our attitudes change. Our energies increase.
But when efforts aren't authentic, watch out! Don't confuse method with purpose. Gifts and incentives, back slapping, and achievement pins are often seen as manipulative strategies that accomplish corporate goals at the expense of personal loyalties.
There are many things you can't control. You can't control whether someone chooses to give expressions of value that should have been said. But remember, personal wellness begins with you. Give what is in your power to give. No matter what you have or haven't been given, you can determine what you can give. When you do, everyone gains.
And when you are tempted not to believe it, think of Johnny. He didn't sit around demanding that others give value to him. He just did what he knew what was right to do.
We could passively wait, wishing for a Johnny to come into our world. Then again, perhaps you are that Johnny for whom others have been waiting. Try being a value giver and just see what will happen.
I welcome your feedback as well as your observations about servant leadership that adds value to others and the lessons you have learned. Submissions are made with the understanding that they may be freely and without obligation be used in any future publications by Rob Inrig.


Home/Atrial Fibrillation/What Can An A-fib (Atrial Fibrillation) Alert Dog Be Trained To Do?
We will be teaching our medical alert dog class in Seattle April 5th-8th 2018 in Seattle. Registration must be completed by March 15th!
What Can An AFib Alert Dog Be Trained To Do?
Franklin from Nashville Tennessee has our question of the week. Franklin, like a lot of older adults, has a medical condition called A-Fib, which stands for Atrial Fibrillation. AFib is a condition in which the heart beats irregularly and can lead to weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath and on the more severe end of the spectrum can cause blood clots and strokes. Franklin wants to know exactly what an AFib alert dog is and what the dog can be trained to do to help him with his A-Fib. See what our answer is in this weeks Medical Alert Dog Monday video.
So what do you think of our answer? Do you think that you can train your own A-Fib alert dog using our in person training classes like Citka?
Citka was originally trained as a diabetic alert dog in 2010 but then started to spontaneously alert to his owners Afib episodes without any additional training!
I went through Service Dog Academy to train my dog to alert to Afib. Because of Boo Radley alerting, my electro cardiologist did a surgery (ablation) and changed my medicine. He has woken me up at 2:30 AM to alert.
Afib is sneaky and will sneak back into your life. I have a fit bit but you dont stare at it all the time.
I cant say how grateful I am for the training program.
My Drs, pup, hospital and Service Dog Academy are all part of my team.

The electro-popsters of Passion Pit will make some noise Nov. 6 at Stage AE.
Electro-popsters Passion Pit will be performing in support of their latest release, Gossamer, which soldiers on with saturated vocals and stadium-sized rhythms — and a pretty killer single in "Take a Walk" — that offers just the kind of latter-day jams that keep the kids dancing in droves (or something like that).
Yeah, that's right — Uriah Heep is comin' to town. And with that comes 40 years of keyboard-bassed Dickensian hard rock in support of the group's 23rd studio album, Into the Wild. Like most bands long in the tooth, the Heep has had its share of lineup changes, though main Heep songwriter Mick Box has kept things afloat with constant sell-out tours in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Russia and Japan.
Do you like surprises? Me neither. But for those who do, OvreArts, the resident ensemble of Heinz Memorial Chapel, presents "A Great and Mighty Voice," featuring surprise guest artists from the National Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna State Opera and La Scala. In addition, you can register for a pre-concert meal with all the fixins.
Walter Morales, an adjunct professor at Chatham University, presents a three-part recital series, offering a sample of the varied piano works of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Morales created the presentation with the Chatham University Music Program in honor of the 2012 Global Focus Year of Scandinavia. Morales plays the giants of Northern music, as well as modern pieces; this month's show features classical music of Denmark.
How does Christmas in November sound? A bit odd? Well, not if you're Brian Setzer! The swing revivalist will be back in Pittsburgh for this holiday event. With appearances from television commercials to the White House, ex-Stray Cat Setzer and company have been bopping out classic standards since the early '90s, and this year promises to be no different. This special performance will feature holiday tunes from the group's two albums of Christmas standards.
Pittsburgh's Get Hip Recordings has passionately tended the fires of garage rock for more than 20 years, gallantly providing a bevy of psychedelic and spirited rock for aficionados to get their grubby little mitts on. One of the label's latest releases, by Austin-based The Ripe, continues in that tradition with a sublime offering of Loaded-era Velvets meets the Beau Brummels that's sure to please those who yearn for three chords and the truth. The fellas pay their respects to power-pop heavyweights Big Star in Yellow Phone, while singer/guitarist Jake Garcia boasts an uncanny vocal resemblance to Luna-era Dean Wareham (another VU protege) in album closer "Lost Weekend." The real highlight, though, is searing rocker "Constant Waves," which shows the band's elasticity in songwriting, with instruments fussin' and a feudin', leaping to and fro amongst genres and decades, culminating in a bittersweet crescendo of audacity that would provide a solid anchor for any self-respecting mixtape.
Gather 'round, dear readers, as I give you a brief synopsis of the man named Weird Paul Petroskey: He began writing quirky pop tunes in his bedroom more than 25 years ago — songs that ran the gamut of subject matter from teenage rebellion to sage advice. It didn't take long to strike a deal with indie label Homestead Records, which brought the seminal Lo-Fidelity, Hi-Anxiety to the masses. Petroskey returned to the scene in the mid-aughts with more records and live shows, eventually leading to a documentary. But this "best of" comp featuring cautionary tales of public inebriation ("I Got Drunk at Chuck E. Cheese") and a guest spot by the Titan of Quirk himself, Jad Fair, makes 25 Lo-Fi Years the perfect primer for Weird Paul fans, old and new.

This collection paints a picture of Hitler from members of his household in the unique position of being "seemingly ever-present, yet totally unconnected to events."
The reader is introduced to Hitler's Bodyguard Karl Krause (1934-39), his house administrator Herbert Döhring (1935-43) and chambermaid Anna Plaim (1941-43). From these accounts we get a deeper sense of Hitler in close proximity.
These accounts massively add to our understanding of Hitler as a three dimensional character, especially from subjects like Plaim who only knew Hitler's home life, having rarely left Berghof.
The series is able to shed light on his likes and dislikes from foods to his hobbies, creating a strange sense of humanity. This collection also provides the reader with fresh anecdotes, observations and portraits of Hitler's entourage and relatives. Plaim's images of Eva Braun come from finding torn fragments in the bin, whilst Döhring sheds light on Martin Bormann's demeanour.
The contributors have provided personal views of Hitler and their life serving him. They have been at pains to present what they believe is a true account without seeking to praise or denigrate him... The accounts are fascinating and provide material comparative to the accounts already published by other servants, military and SS personnel. In much of the material, there seems to be no real feeling of a terrible war going on around them in any personal sense.

The glimpses they give us into the deceptive normality of Hitler's private life irresistibly and graphically reinforce the significance of Hannah Arendt's often criticised concept of the "banality of evil."

NOC Recaps The Legend of Korra: Stargazing
Episode Eleven, "The Night of a Thousand Stars"
I am not going to lie. This season of The Legend of Korra has been better than I expected. So the next four episodes are for sure going to make me drop some F-bombs and some holy expletives with tons of exclamation points to fill in my excitement. So you've been warned.
"The Night of a Thousand Stars" was a filler episode and a warm-up to what we all have been waiting for, the "Harmonic Convergence" show down.
As we know, Korra barely escaped a battle with Unalaq in the Spirit World, but could not save Jinora. So Tenzin and the crew break the bad news to Pema as they inform her that Jinora's soul is caught in the Spirit World. Tenzin then promises Pema that he will get her back at any cost. A real touching moment, that sets up Tenzin's quest.
"Where is Jinora?"
We then cut back to Republic City, where there is a red carpet event for the final film in the Nuk-Tuk series. Bolin, who has been a disappointment these last couple of episodes, makes a visit to his brother in prison Mako. If you recall, Mako was set up (it's pretty obvious by whom) and was found with explosives and stolen merchandise. As Bolin talks to Mako, he begins to act like the Bolin of old, the one we loved to cheer for. You can tell he feels guilty for letting Hollywood go to his head, and promises Mako that he will get him the best lawyer out there to get him out. But as he is about to leave, Mako warns Bolin, in his best Cypress Hill impression, that if he is right about Varrick tonight will be the night that, "when the $#!+ goes down, you better be ready!" (There you have it, a Korra and Cypress Hill connection).
As parting gift, Bolin gives Mako a signed poster of the Nuk Tuk movie and makes his way to the movie premiere.
Meanwhile in Southern Water Tribe country, Tonraq cannot wait any longer for Korra and decides to lead the rebellion against Unalaq, which brings us one of the most epic water bending fights we have seen this season. Brother vs Brother.
For real though…
"It's time to take back what is ours!"
We then cut to the premiere of the Nuk Tuk film. Varrick tries to sweet talk president Raiko, by once again talking about the war. President Raiko reiterates, that he will not support the war which foreshadows what happens next. As Bolin watches with Asami the film there is a scene sequence that were pretty awesome Which brings me to say the following things:
Why does Naga look like a panda?
Pabu is a laser bender? what???
Someone give Pabu an Oscar for his performance, for real!
In the midst of the film, Bolin gets up and Asami follows, he confesses that he misses his friends and says "that team avatar is falling apart," a well profound statement coming from him. As he walks back to see the rest of the film, he slips on some jelly filled cake, and then discovers that the detectives have been bound and stuffed away in some lockers. The detectives tell him that they are some waterbenders trying to kidnap the president, and Bolin takes action by rescuing the president and defeating the kidnappers.
And for saving the day, he gets some just smoochie oochie.
As everything seems to return to normal, Korra arrives and informs President Reiko that Unalaq's new plan is to destroy the world. President Reiko, reiterates again that he will not send forces to help, which leads to Bolin saying, "I never should have saved that guy." Everyone goes to where Mako is being held and as he is released from jail, he is embraced and kissed by Korra which leads to awkward moment #4,080 in the Makorra relationship.
After an affirmation that Team Avatar is back in order. They interrogate Varrick who then offers them to take his battleship Zhu Li (he named the ship after his assistant!) Team Avatar is ready to take on Unalaq.
Meanwhile in Southern Water Tribe country, Tonraq sees an opportunity to end this fight and tries to defeat Unalaq once and for all. Which is one of the most awesome fights we have seen in LOK.
And just like that…. the episode ends.
Damn. Damn. Damn.

Життєпис
Девід Доусон народився 7 вересня 1982 року у місті Віднес, графство Чешир, Англія.

Девід відвідував середню школу Ферфілд та громадський коледж Воррінгтона, перш ніж його прийняли в Королівську академію драматичного мистецтва в 2002 році. Ще під час навчання в школі він був членом театральної трупи «Musketeer Theatre Company», де серед інших ролей він зіграв роль Догберрі у п'єсі «Багато галасу з нічого» Вільяма Шекспіра.

У підлітковому віці він написав дві п'єси — «Розлучені та відчайдушні» (англ.«Divorced and Desperate») та «Хлопчик у ліжку» (англ. «The Boy In The Bed»). Джулі Волтерс і Барбара Віндзор допомогли профінансувати лондонський дебют 18-річного Доусона в театрі Тауер в Ізлінгтоні.

Також у Девіда є молодший брат Джеймс.

Кар'єра

Першою професійною роллю Девіда була роль дублера Кевіна Спейсі в ролі однойменного героя шекспірівської п'єси «Річард II» у фільмі британського режисера Тревора Нанна.

It was the last rabbit on the first day that beat us so bad. We had our excuses. By the time Sugar Ray jumped the bunny, we'd been chasing swamp rabbits through the Alabama wilds for eight long hours. We were worn down by wet thickets and cut up by cane briar. We were headed back to the truck with enough rabbits in the bag to carpet the tailgate, but then Tyson chimed in with Sugar Ray, bawling deep in the swamp. Lacy and Molly joined the race, and then every other dog in the pack cut loose with a song.
This swamper wasn't giving in easy, though. Ten minutes passed before the pack pushed the rabbit out of the flooded woods and across a ridge of green fields and open pines. The bunny covered ground in giant 10‑foot leaps as it turned for a second swamp on the far side of the ridge. The beagles were still in the woods when the shooting started.
Screen Time: During hunts, the group will take breaks to record videos for Benson's popular YouTube channel.
As the rabbit neared the second swamp thicket, racing across the open, Marquan Brown fired again, on the run, 12-gauge to his shoulder, like a tank gunner on the move. Pellets kicked up dust behind, in front, and all around the rabbit, then the critter vaulted through a line of pines and vanished into muck, cypress trees, and black water.
Hollers and whoops erupted from the field. Whoever didn't shoot let the rest of us have it. No one could believe we all missed that rabbit. We gathered the dogs and turned to the trucks, laughing and marveling at the only swamp rabbit to beat us all day—one that deserved a little peace and quiet in the Coosa River bottoms.
That's when Tremayne Benson called out from the farm road. He stood behind a video camera mounted on a tripod. "Y'all hold on a second," he said.
His buddies pulled up short. Benson dialed in the focus.
The beagles are eager to start hunting.
In front of the camera, Benson wears a shy smile and speaks with a quiet, measured voice. Unless you really know rabbit hunting and beagle breeding, you'd never guess that this Social Security administrator and part-time preacher from Andalusia, Alabama, is one of the sport's most recognizable ambassadors and impassioned practitioners—and a bit of a social media sensation.
This is rabbit hunting's funky new frontier. The 36-year-old Benson runs a YouTube channel with 5,400 subscribers. It's one of the most visited rabbit-hunting sites on the internet. Over the past six years, Benson has posted more than 120 rabbit-hunting and beagle-training videos. He hosts a call-in online chat program called "Hound Talk" and fields calls every week from around the country and overseas from hunters seeking advice on rabbit dogs, dog training, and dog breeding.
Release the Hounds: A pack of his beagles follows a scent.
Social media, it seems, is the new country store for this breed of beagle fan. For something as niche as rabbit hunting—and swamp rabbits at that—a Benson's Kennels post might rack up 1,000 views in a matter of hours; some of its hunt videos have garnered 50,000 to 60,000 views. "I get 80-year-old men calling me, crying and thanking me for helping to keep this sport alive," Benson says. But it's not just veteran hunters. He gets more calls from 25- to 40-year-old hunters than from any other age group. He hears from Canadians, Germans, and Australians. He fields so many requests from Spanish-speaking callers that he hired an on-call translator to help.
The internet—and social media, specifically—has democratized the beagle world, Benson figures, and it is now home to what he calls an "underground economy" of rabbit dogs.
To see the evolution from the inside, I hooked up with Benson for a three-day Alabama road trip, hunting our way from Birmingham to Mobile. Along for the ride were an uncle, a cousin, and a passel of pals Benson befriended through social media. After meeting in Birmingham, we hit the ground hopping.
The author with the swamp runners.
Benson and his crew will run any rabbit, but they specialize in hunting Sylvilagus aquatic, the legendary swamp rabbit. Easily twice the size of a cottontail, swampers on the run have more wits than a coyote and more speed than a fox. Pushed by dogs, a swamp rabbit traces huge ellipses and figure eights through briary bottoms, sometimes taking an hour to make a single round. Also called "cane-cutters," they are excellent swimmers and will power-stroke downstream, then crawl out of the water in thick cover to throw the dogs off the track. They'll dive and hide nose-up under root wads and logjams. And they like their woods tight as a tick.
Marquan Brown shows off a hefty buck.
That helped explain all the smiles when we pulled up to the woods on our second morning on the road. Marquan Brown, a financial-security consultant, had scored permission to hunt a client's 1,000 acres of swamps and pines north of the Coosa River, and 10 minutes after we dropped the tailgate, a six-pack of beagles struck a rabbit so deep in the swamp, the dogs blew mallards off the water.
Benson yodeled to his troops: "Hunt for him! Hunt for him! HUUUNT in here!" A pair of wood ducks sailed in to land, spotted the commotion, then flared wildly. It was a beautiful little mise-en-scène of man and dog, woods and water.
In four hours of hunting, the dogs ran a half-dozen rabbits, every one of which wound up on the tailgate. At midday, we pulled the trucks into the shade of tall pines, watered the dogs, and fired up a grill. Jamie Thompson and Antoine Buchanon pressed out fresh deer burger patties and told me about the 13 beagles they kept in the backyard of the house they had rented while at the University of Alabama. "One February, we hunted 25 days," Buchanon said. "The only days we didn't hunt was because it was raining too hard to go." Benson pulled up a camp chair as rabbit stew simmered on a nearby stove, and I asked him how he trains his dogs to chase rabbits that would just as soon swim as run.
Benson's pack traces its lineage to a foursome of beagles run by his longtime mentor, Robert Clark, of River Falls, Alabama, who passed away a couple of years ago. Clark still has a powerful hold on Benson. Within seconds of mentioning his old friend, Benson choked up and couldn't speak. In the latter stages of his fight against cancer, Clark gave Benson the bedrock beagles of his pack. "He told me at least 100 times that he'd prayed to God to send him someone who loved dogs as much as he did," Benson said.
About three years before, as Benson was getting ever more serious about rabbit dogs, he turned to the internet for details on dog training. He was amazed at the lack of footage of running hounds.
A break at the truck.
Which is how we spent the next five hours. At the end of the day, we spread 15 rabbits across the tailgate of Uncle James' 1973 Chevy Dually. There were only two "hillbillies"—cottontails—in the mix. You could hardly see metal under all those swampers.
A tailgate doubles as a rabbit-cleaning station.
The next afternoon found us near Boligee, Alabama, east of the Tombigbee River, on 1,800 acres of deer-club land veined with slow-moving creeks. The creekbottoms were cloistered with palmettos, the trees hung with Spanish moss. It was dark, gloomy, and wet, and it didn't take long—three minutes, tops—before Buchanon heard the first rabbit trying to tiptoe through the briars. He called the dogs over, and the swamp bottom erupted in a chaos of beagles.
A rabbit is left out to cool before going in a game vest.
I took off running. For a day and a half, I had held back a bit, trying to get a sense of how these guys get in front of the dogs and intercept the rabbits. I didn't want to muscle in on the show, but my strategy of working the flanks of the hunters had bombed. I hadn't gotten a single shot. Now I could hear the dogs turn, so I pushed through briars, picking thorns from my arms with my teeth so I don't take my hands off the gun. When three sparrows flitted out of the brambles, I skidded to a stop and stared hard. Something had to have bumped them from the thicket. Thirty seconds later, a harelike shape materialized deep in a mat of wet briars humped up like concertina wire. I found two tall ears and rolled the bunny with the lower tube of an o/u 20.
Benson is all smiles after a successful hunt.
Benson's growing fame might be rooted in the online world, but everywhere on the road was a sense of community, of the many ways that rabbit hunting brings people together. At country stores where we'd stop for snacks, strangers wandered over to the trucks packed with dog boxes to talk beagles and bunnies. Hotel clerks saw our camo duds and muddy boots and wanted to talk about hunting with their dads. When we pull off the main road to unlock gates, trucks roll up beside us, windows down, blocking traffic, the drivers prodding the group with queries: How many swampers? Kicking up hillbillies? Them dogs any good?
There's so much laughing and good-natured hard-time giving between these hunters that it seems a bit odd that my most memorable swamp-rabbit-hunting moment was solitary in nature.
Benson keeps a swamper out of reach.
The dogs had been on a track for 15 minutes as we all eased into position. I squirmed through briars and thick palmettos, headed down a small stream, remembering what Uncle James had told me earlier about how a swamp rabbit will run down a creek bed, bounding from side to side to spread its scent. I hit an open slough with a 20-yard view of the creek just as the beagles turned my way, and I was looking around to find a better spot to stand than smack in the middle of the water when I saw the rabbit coming. My first glimpse was as the buck neared the peak of a 6-foot-long leap down the middle of the slough. I froze as the swamper hit the shallow water and vaulted again. For a heartbeat, there were two rabbits—the one in the air and the one mirrored in the water below. He saw me raise the gun, but in midair, there was nothing he could do, his options gone. In that moment when the two rabbits became one, I pulled the trigger and flipped the swamp buck backward in the creek, 11 paces away.
Within a few seconds, beagles and hunters trickled into the scene, and I hoisted the swamper above the dogs as they leapt to snap at its head and feet. I had to tell the story new each time another guy found his way to the slough, each hunter filling in more details of the chase from his own perspective in the swamp. We were high-fiving and laughing and passing the rabbit around when I caught Benson out of the corner of my eye. He had slipped off quietly and was setting up the tripod. He aimed the camera back toward the group and nimbly stepped backward into the frame. He wanted the lens to capture it all, unscripted and in the moment. With his pals still yakking it up in the background, he held the swamp buck up and nodded toward the camera.
What happened next seemed to occur naturally. No one hissed shhhh or pointed toward the camera, but the entire crew mellowed out and quieted down. Each man shifted position so they all formed a loose semicircle behind Benson, a pulpit of canvas and blaze orange, no one man blocking the other from the camera's eye. They'd all been here before, many times. Each has bought fully into Benson's passion for sharing the hunt. They all looked into the lens and nodded as he spoke.

In decades to come the population of more than half of the municipalities will shrink. Many people fear that the municipalities will endure financial problems because of the shrinkage. Presumably this is not the case. This conclusion is the outcome of a research project conducted by COELO, which was presented 26 June. The research project was commissioned by the Fryske Nasjonale Partij ('Frysian National Party'), facilitated by the Scientific Bureau of the Independent Senate Faction in The Netherlands Senate. The Centre for Research on Local Government Economics (COELO) is an independent research institute, affiliated to the Faculty of Economics and Business.
A shrinking population affects both the revenues and the expenses of municipalities. Revenues from building lot development, for example, will decrease, while some expenses continue, also with fewer users. The number and size of schools may decrease, but this is not realised overnight. A school with fewer pupils, however, is not cheaper in terms of maintenance or use of energy. Do shrinking municipalities need measures to prevent financial problems? This was the main question of the COELO research project.
First, COELO examined whether the revenue system of municipalities is organised in such a way that a shrinking population may have negative effects. This turned out not to be the case. Further research into the factual revenues of municipalities that have been shrinking for a while confirms this. Shrinking municipalities receive a higher government contribution per capita from the municipality fund and that contribution increases more than that of growing municipalities. The revenues from OZB per capita are rather insensitive to the development of the population, even when the housing prices fall. The sharp rise in housing prices in recent years did not lead to a big increase in revenues either. Municipalities adjust their rates to receive the desired revenues. Other revenues are not expected to be problematic either, despite the decrease in revenues from building lot development.
Large expenses as a result of a shrinking population are often expected when the housing stock is restructured or in case of facilities for which the expenses are reduced slowly despite a decrease in users. COELO therefore examined municipality expenses in the fields of education, environmental planning and housing, and recreational facilities (libraries, sports facilities, etc). However, there is no indication that a shrinking population leads to higher expenses per capita.
To confirm this, more detailed research was conducted into five separate shrinking municipalities in North-East Groningen. These were compared to five similar municipalities in Friesland that do not shrink. This comparison did not indicate a connection between a shrinking population and higher expenses either.
Finally, research focused on the possibility of municipalities postponing financial problems by using up their reserves. This analysis did not reveal a difference with non-shrinking municipalities either.
COELO did not find indications that a shrinking population leads to financial problems for municipalities. It is possible that problems only arise after a very long period of shrinkage. This cannot yet be determined. What research clearly shows, however, is that shrinking municipalities are very different from each other. Differences between shrinking municipalities are often just as big as differences between shrinking and growing municipalities. It is therefore expected that possible problems in the future will not be met with generic measures but will require tailor-made solutions. At the moment, however, these measures are not yet under discussion.
This research modifies the sometimes frightening picture that was drawn in several earlier publications. The fact that financial problems are not expected in the near future does not mean shrinking municipalities do not face a challenge. However, this challenge is not primarily financial, but mainly concerns adaptation processes.

Revision as of 15:45, 27 November 2017 by Peter jackson (talk | contribs) (→Where next?)
The Pali Canon is the scripture collection of Theravada Buddhism.[1] "Pali Canon" is the usual English name;[2] it is also known by the name "Tipiṭaka".[3] It is in Pali,[4] which is a language of ancient India.[5] Mahayana Buddhism tends to regards the Tipiṭaka as a sort of "Old Testament"[6]. Most scholars recognize the Canon as the oldest source for the Buddha's teachings.[7]
3 Where next?
The Canon is traditionally regarded by the Theravada as the Word of the Buddha (died around 400 BC[8]), though not always literally.[9] It is said in the Canon itself that whatever is well said is the Word of the Buddha.[10] Modern scholars tend to regard at least large amounts of the Canon (with disagreements on how much) as the work of a number of unknown authors ([2]).
According to a tradition generally regarded quite favourably by scholars, the Canon was written down from oral tradition in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in the last century BC.[11] The oldest known manuscript fragment of the Canon dates from the 8th or 9th century, but in general manuscripts have not survived from before the 15th century, and the majority are probably no older than the 18th.[12]
The Canon has now been printed and posted on the internet: see links below.
The vast majority of commentarial literature is connected with just four names: Buddhaghosa, Dhammapala, Sariputta and Nanakitti.[13]
