Man killed and Garda officer dragged 500m by car after 'serious incident' in Irish town
BY: Aidan Lonergan
A MAN has been arrested after another man was killed and a Garda officer seriously injured in a road traffic collision in Co. Monaghan.
The incident occurred at around 11.30pm last night in Castleblaney, and reportedly began when a man left the local Garda station and attempted to drive away in a silver Audi A6.
It is understood that a Garda attempted to stop the man when he drove off, dragging the officer approximately 500m along the road before crashing into a Skoda car parked on Main Street in the town.
A man aged in his 40s who had been sitting in the parked car was pronounced dead at the scene following the collision.
The Garda, who is in his late 20s, suffered a number of facial, head and leg injuries.
The driver of the silver Audi, a man in his 40s, was arrested and is being detained at Carrickmacross Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
Main Street in Castleblaney was closed to facilitate an examination of the area by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and Crime Scene Examiners.
Local diversions are in place, and the road was expected to reopen this morning.
Witnesses are being urged to contact Carrickmacross Garda Station on 042 9690 190, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

Sinhalese, also spelled Singhalese or Cingalese, member of a people of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) who constitute the largest ethnic group of that island. In the early 21st century the Sinhalese were estimated to number about 13.8 million, or 73 percent of the population. Their ancestors are believed to have come from northern India, traditionally in the 5th century bce. Their language belongs to the Indo-European family.
Like other peoples of Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese constitute a caste-based society with a complex structure historically founded largely on occupation. Differences in religious and other customary practices are minimal between the castes. Marriage is generally endogamous within the same caste, with spouses drawn preferably from the children of the mother's brother or father's sister. Monogamy is the rule, as polygyny and polyandry were declared illegal in the mid-19th century.


In the last of my Mental Health guest post series, Bethanie talks about her experience with eating disorders.
Those who know exactly what an Eating Disorder is will tell you that it is one of the worst things to go through. Those who have not been through the reality of eating disorders will probably have no idea what I am going to talk about… but that ok, because its time for people to actually sit down and understand it.
Ok… imagine this, you have a friend, this friend is the most annoying, clingy person you possibly know. you want them to leave you alone, but you are stuck with them, they are constantly telling you that everything you do is wrong, and that no matter how hard you try you can not please people. Nothing you do is good enough. When you walk places – you haven't walked enough, when you eat something -you have eaten to much.
Stressful right? This is what people with an eating disorder experience first hand on a daily basis.
Now from an outside point of view eating disorders may not make sense… I mean just eat right? I'm sure its not that hard to go to Burger King and have a burger. WRONG. For those who suffer with an eating disorder all of this makes sense.
Growing up, I always suffered with my eating… back before I was in high school it was purely unintentional. To me I just wasn't hungry, it wasn't about how big I was etc… however i always thought I was bigger then the average person. I remember on one occasion my nan brought me some orange tonic medicine thing… it was the most vile thing I have ever tasted in my life… and it was to make me eat.
In primary school I would throw my sandwiches away so i wouldn't get in to any trouble for not eating them. At the time I didn't think it was a big deal but looking back it kind of makes senses.
When I eventually got in to high school I started to develop like any other girl, which I hated. Because I'm quite small, the weight I gained made me look bigger then I actually was. I tried everything to get my weight down. I bought diet pills online, I tried teatoxing, binging and purging, restricting, and before I knew it the weight did come off. This carried on all through out my high school years. I would log on to Pro- ana sites, looking for more motivation to loose weight, it was an out of control spiral, and I couldn't stop myself. I had a ton of 'ana buddies' these are basically people that you meet online that helps you loose weight.
Now at the time I genuinely thought there was nothing wrong with me, but one of my 'buddies' at the time, who actually is know one of my best friend's messaged me one day and basically said her family had found out and had sent her to get help. She told me she had realised what she was doing and that she didn't want to do it anymore, we skyped and cried and cried for hours and finally I decided I was going to go and talk to someone about my eating habits. — I am now going to say that this vanished over night… and I am not going to tell you that i do not have any eating problems now. Because i do. Sometimes its so difficult not to restart my eating, especially if i put on a pound or two.
Sometimes when i pig out with friends, its hard not to throw up after.
It does get easier in a way. I do not weigh my self every day like i used to.
I go to the Gym, and i eat healthy, but i still indulge a little bit. There are certain foods that i do not eat, and maybe will never eat again, purely for the problems that I have. But I'm coming up to 2 years in recovery, it has been a bumpy road, and i have had a few slip ups. But I have never been happier.
An eating disorder isn't about the size of a person, but its about what is going on inside of that person. It is a mental disorder, and society has made it into a joke.
For people reading this that do not know much about it, please please research it before you make judgement on someone.
And for those that have been through an eating disorder, I really hope and pray for you on your journey, and that where ever you are, you are finding the strength to fight through it!

Pope Francis Surprises Survivors In Italian Earthquake Sites
Pope Francis has made good on a promise to go to the central Italian region hardest hit by the devastating earthquake that struck in August. He arrived Tuesday without warning to console survivors and urge them to press forward.
According to the Associated Press, the pontiff hoped to keep his visit low-key, so it wasn't announced until after he had already arrived in Amatrice, the town devastated by the magnitude 6.2 earthquake that killed almost 300 people and left an additional 4,000 homeless.
"I didn't come earlier so as not to cause problems, given your condition," the pope told survivors, reported the AP, which cited Vatican Radio. "I didn't want to be a bother."
Pope Francis visited with schoolchildren who are still occupying makeshift classrooms, as well as firefighters and police. He also visited the red zone, an area of Amatrice that is still sealed off owing to safety concerns.
The pope urged residents to keep their spirits up. "There is always a future," he told them.
According to the New York Times, the pontiff's visit even caught local officials by surprise.
After visiting Amatrice, the pope traveled to the nearby towns of Accumoli and Arquata del Tronto.

Harrison Hoping For Favour
By Diogo Peral
Chippa United coach, Mark Harrison, admits it was a tough game as his side ran out 1-0 winners over Santos in a Promotion/Relegation Play-off match at the Cape Town Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and is now hoping his local rivals can do them a favour.
The result saw Chippa up to four points in the mini-league format and still in with a chance of making it to the Absa Premiership next season as they sit two points behind MP Black Aces.
For Santos they will play another season in the National First Division, but despite that fact Harrison is hoping they can do his side a favour when they meet Aces next weekend.
Chippa, though, will first have to do the business when they meet Aces this coming Wednesday where a loss would signal the end of their promotion hopes.
"It was a tough game – a local derby as well as a relegation/promotion scrap," said Harrison after the match.
"It was a battle for 90 minutes and both teams gave everything they had.
"They might have had most of the possession but we created the better chances. We got the goal and that made them come at us, but we stood our ground and defended the box very well.
"We deserved the win.
"We have another massive game coming on Wednesday night and we have to win that one.
"We have to win that one, it is that simple and if we do we are in with a fighting chance. After that we have to hope that Santos can go to Aces and do a professional job."

Kerim Seiler was born in 1974 in Zürich. He lives and works in Zürich, Berlin and Johannesburg. Seilers wide-ranging practice — installation, sculpture, painting and drawing — has sought to challenge the boundaries between art, science and popular culture. His energy and inventiveness and his consistently visceral, visually arresting work, has made him one of the leading artist of his generation in Switzerland.
Seiler explores the uncertainty at the core of human experience; love, life, death, loyalty and betrayal through unexpected and unconventional media. Best known in Zürich for 'Kerims Lampenladen' which present different colored neon tubes in vitrines suspended from the celling of Zurich's main train station, his works recast fundamental questions concerning the meaning of life and the fragility of biological existence. For Seiler, the vitrine functions as both window and barrier, seducing the viewer into the work visually while providing a minimalist geometry to frame, contain and objectify his subject.
His work has been shown in various exhibitions in Moscow, Cairo, Cracow, Marseille, Zurich, New York, Berlin, Paris, Los Angeles and Johannesburg. He is represented by Grieder Contemporary in Zurich.

Qin Yu nodded slightly in recognition of Zhou Wanqing's words, the soul overture is a very evil and powerful method.
At this time, Su Yuru beside him suddenly hummed a small tune: "Singing the soul overture to find the root, facing the evil kiss of the devil world, turning around without being polluted..."
"Ha, ha ha ha!"
Hearing this familiar tune, Qin Yu laughed loudly, and Su Yuru also giggled.
The few girls around looked at each other and didn't understand what they were laughing at, but the tune was pretty good.
Well, these two people are in love in previous lives and have secrets that everyone doesn't know.
While they were talking, suddenly, the core furnace blasted, and energy waves spread out, and Qin Yu and others sensed a huge force that was fed back into their bodies at the same time.
Qin Yu's original power of 600,000 fierce horses has soared to 800,000 fierce horses at this moment!
That's a full two hundred thousand!
This value is already close to the theoretical power limit of the Condensed Crystal Realm: the power of nine hundred ninety-nine thousand violent horses!
According to the ratio of ten to one, the four demon concubines received 20,000 horses at the same time. 20,000 is not a big deal for Fang Xiyu's power. Chu Xiuyun is also fine, but it is still in the training. Su Yuru and Zhou Wanqing in the aura are soaring.
What the two sensed at the same time, Zhou Wanqing said eagerly: "My husband, I found that I was about to condense into the crystal realm suddenly!"
"me too!"
The second daughter unexpectedly realized that she was about to suddenly reach a realm at the same time!
This made Qin Yu overjoyed. With a big wave of his hand, he obtained a large amount of spiritual stone pills from the secret realm. The heavenly materials and earth treasures were piled up under the spirit tree. At the same time, Fang Xiyu divided the last part of the spiritual medicine and spiritual materials he collected into two. The storage bag was handed over to them.
"Two sisters, just retreat here!"
Both women nodded, Su Yuru jumped onto a branch of the Spirit Tree, surrounded by Manshushahua, and the breath of reincarnation spread.
And Zhou Wanqing sat cross-legged, and the spirit stone in front of him was directly shattered under the operation of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Power, and turned into extremely pure aura, only a little mouthful of joy was incorporated into the body.
Qin Yu didn't worry about anything. With the cultivation of the second daughter, it was not a problem to break through the crystal state.
In addition, Fang Xiyu and Chu Xiuyun are there, so relax.
Qin Yu smiled lightly and said, "You have a good breakthrough, I will look back at you."
Speaking directly, his figure moved and left the space.
Fang Xiyu didn't follow her, she was a responsible big sister who wanted to watch the two younger sisters break through.
In the early morning of the second day, Qin Yu stood alone on the beach, took out the Shenmu Flying Boat, looked for a direction and galloped away.
The increase in power made him fly extremely fast, although it was not as good as Fang Xiyu, but it was far better than the cultivator in the Crystalline Realm.
He had already sensed that he was about to break through the realm, because the Mitian Stone was completely refined, and he was only a layer of window paper from the peak of the Crystal Condensation Realm.
At this time, while controlling the Shenmu Flying Boat to fly towards the mainland, he sat cross-legged, but was not in a hurry to practice, but planned to digest the villain's value.
Now he has a total of 711700 points worth of villains, 20 witch crafting cards and 10 space upgrade rolls.
"Give me ten space upgrade scrolls for the Harem World!"
"Ding, the host chooses to use space to upgrade the volume!"
The system's prompt sounded, and the next moment, the intensity of the small world increased again, and at the same time, ten upgrade coupons gave back 30,000 fierce power.
Eight hundred and thirty thousand violent horsepower!
At this moment, as if some bottleneck in his body was broken, Qin Yu's realm directly rushed to the peak of the crystal condensing realm!
This time, instead of relying on self-cultivation and condensing the true essence, it completely relied on external forces to push the body's true essence soaring, and then forcibly broke through the realm!
Taking advantage of a breakthrough, Qin Yu directly ran the Chaos Wuji Gong, refining Fang Xiyu's Yuan Yin energy in his body.
At the same time, he felt the true qi in his body surge, because the energy was transformed into the surging true essence, Qin Yu showed his air speed to the extreme in order to vent!
"Wow!"
The Shenmu Feizhou turned into a cyan light, shuttled through the clouds like a shooting star, and the speed was really a blue light piercing the sky.
The scenes on both sides retreated rapidly, and Qin Yu turned his Chaos Wuji Gong with full force!
In this day, the blue light was raging above the sea, and wherever it passed, all the monsters and ghosts in the ruthless sea retreated in terror. Some of the insightful crystal-level sea monsters thought that the blue light was a sign of the birth of a strange treasure, and even chased after it. .
It's just that the speed of cyan light is too fast, and they can't catch up.
I don't know how long Qin Yu finally stopped. He landed on the sea and let out a sigh of relief while sitting in the boat.
At the moment, I really feel comfortable!
His realm is naturally the peak of the condensed crystal realm, and his power has reached the power of 900,000 fierce horses!
However, under the influence of Chaos Wujigong, his breath was even more restrained, and at the same time he felt that he seemed to look better again.
The eyes are like jewels, the hair is unusually supple, the skin of the whole body is so good, the Chaos Wuji Gong has some effect of keeping the face, which makes Qin Yu look more beautiful as he cultivates, and he can be able to do it without the need for something like a calming pill. Youth stays forever.
The crystal condensing realm is at its peak, and the system can be upgraded once it has been cultivated to the psychic realm. After the system has been upgraded, it can be fully strengthened.
The future is bright!
Qin Yu feels that the road ahead is bright, and he accepts a beautiful and unspeakable wife, and he feels very happy.
"System, use twenty witch cards, old rules, all random."
"Ding, the host chose to use twenty witches to make cards, please wait."
The witch cards in the portable space all floated up and burned in the next moment. In the flames, a witch was being born.
"It's Fire Demon again?"
Qin Yu was curious, but the answer came out after a while, it was not a fire demon!
"Ding, congratulations to the host, for successfully making 20 witches."
The next moment, a light flashed before his eyes, and twenty witches wearing black witch robes and a magician hat appeared on the flying boat.
This is the purest witch among the black witches in the demons. This black witch is a race after human beings have been demonized. In essence, it is not much different from humans.
Therefore, although the appearance and body of the twenty girls in front of them are different, their appearance and appearance are no different from that of human beings without exception.
However, the witches produced by the system are all beauties, and the twenty witches in front of them are naturally beauties.
Of course it's not as good as the devil concubine.
"See the master."
Twenty witches bowed down, all saluting Qin Yu sweetly.

TEF1026F provides 24 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation RJ45 ports, 2 gigabit SFP slots and offers a data rate in full duplex of as high as 2000 Mbps. Working with Tenda SFP modules TEG311SM, the switch supports a maximum transmission distance of as high as 20 km. In addition, a large capacity cache is equipped in the switch and all ports support wire-speed forwarding, ensuring fast transmission of large files, smooth playback of videos and stable connection for 7*24 hours.
With professional lightning protection circuit, all ports and power supply module feature 6 kV lightning protection, greatly protecting the switch from being damaged by thunder storm.
Three devices are cascaded through 25 and 26 Gigabit ports, which can support up to 72 channels of 500W camera access and ensure stable video transmission without jamming. If both devices are connected to NVR, the local watching of surveillance video can be realized. The equipment of surveillance room can also be connected to NVR, and the other edge device can be connected to router to connect external network.
In that mode, all ports can communicate with each other, but the switch could not be managed through web UI.
In that mode, ports 1 to 8 have higher priority than other ports, and all ports can communicate with each other. When the switch is connected to multiple IP cameras, you are recommended to use this mode for better smooth transmission, and connect the key IP cameras to the ports with higher priority, connect the two uplink ports (ports 25 and 26) to uplink devices (such as NVR or router).
In that mode, ports 1 to 24 can communicate with uplink ports (ports 25 and 26) but cannot communicate with each other. You can use this mode to isolate DHCP broadcast and eliminate broadcast storm.

Andrea Edwards
Andrea was born in the UK where she trained in ballet, tap and modern dance in her early years. She then moved into competing in disco freestyle in singles, doubles and team and Rock 'n Roll doubles where she discovered her love of choreography. She carried on with sporadic classes in jazz and tap dance throughout adulthood until she lost the use of her left leg and foot in 1999. This forced a back operation to prevent paralysis and saved the leg, but unfortunately left her with chronic pain where she lost her job and had to stop dancing.
In April 2007, she was prayed over and the Lord healed her chronic back pain and brought her into the kingdom of God. She realized that she could use the gift of dance to honor and worship Him. She felt led to start 'toddler time' at WoodsEdge Church, which uses dance and song to connect with children and parents and show Jesus' love! She has taught and choreographed for several of NYT classes and productions.
In Kazakhstan, Andrea had the opportunity to direct and choreograph for shows You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Wizard of Oz and assist in Christmas performances with the International School.

She is new to the world of theater, having shied away from the stage until she started co-leading worship for her Bible study in 2017.

Jill has enjoyed serving on several parent committees such as props, mics, green room, hospitality and sets. But her favorite role has been as Program Manager as it not only allowed her to get to know the cast members and families better and work alongside excellent staff members and directing teams, but also to build upon hidden talents and abilities that God wanted to reveal to her. She has discovered that NYT does not exist only for the kids to grow in the ways God created them, but also for the parents.

In her "spare time," she directs a Classical Conversations campus in Tomball and plans Disney vacations for families. She loves traveling, decorating really early for holidays, and being with her husband Kevin, and their four amazing kids: Judah, Canaan, Annie, and Hallie. Aimee categorizes herself as someone who is "easily moved," as pretty much any form of beauty (a pretty day, a majestic little league home run, literary passages) can cause her traitorous tear ducts to activate, but music stirs in her soul such joy and worship of the great God who created this beautiful means of expression.

Jim Hallford
Jim's love of music was realized in his childhood, and though there were relatively meager opportunities in his small northwestern New Mexico town, his parents helped him find a piano teacher, enroll him in band in school, and encouraged him to sing in the small church adult choir as a teen. His uncle gave him his first Harmony brand guitar and his grandma bought him his first trombone and he was off.
After a year of college, Jim found what he thought was the perfect blending of his faith and his music and toured across the U.S. with a music and drama ministry where his faith was sharpened like never before. He later graduated with a bachelor's of fine arts with a vocal emphasis and teacher's K-12 certification from Stephen F. Austin State University and served on church music staffs for the next nine years conducting choirs and orchestras before going into public education where he has taught for more than 20 years in the Klein Independent School District. He has also taught piano, voice, guitar and low brass instruments privately since graduating from college.
Jim co-founded a youth musical theater ministry company here in the Houston area in 2006 and has served as an acting/assistant director, vocal director and orchestra director in shows such as Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables, Cinderella, Narnia, Godspell, The Sound of Music, and Peter Pan.

She went on to be in several commercials, dozens of productions, minored in theatre, and eventually directed and taught school theater. Angel even met her fantastic husband, Russ, in their college production of Little Women where he took a main role playing opposite her role as Amy so he could get to know her better. She traded in directing, acting and teaching for the adventures of having a baby, adopting three more blessings and living across the world.
After moving back from Thailand, the family's passion for theater and desire to find a Christ-centered community led them to National Youth Theater. While those at NYT often know Angel as an over-passionate and dedicated green room mom she is blessed to be on staff using her theatre-nerdiness to bless others.

Her "training" began as an eight year old at a summer camp and has since included numerous musicals and voice, dance, and drama classes, as well as learning about the many functions of what goes on behind the scenes.

His statement made me shudder with fear. It was the same fear that gripped my body at age 8 when I first glimpsed the Creature from the Black Lagoon. When the creature emerged from the inky, black pond on my family's black and white RCA cabinet television and I imagined it crawling out of our neighbor's dark-water irrigation pond, staggering into our backyard, scratching a hole in my bedroom wall with its barbed-wire claws and snatching me while I slept. Of course, I had an excuse; I had never seen a horror film before. Even Old Yeller terrified me when the lovable golden retriever was mercy-killed after his encounter with a rabid wolf. OK, so I frightened easily when I was young.
I had no excuse today. 60-year-old men are not supposed to succumb to fear, even when coming face-to-face for the first time with senescent zombies. These weren't the flesh-eating ones that would, understandably, cause some alarm; I hate those kind. But the ones to which Bill referred were the geriatric-type zombies who slouched coma-like in their wheelchairs or haltingly stumbled in their walkers. They all had what Bill called "dead eyes" and they filled the hallways of The Court.
"They are all dead," Bill intoned again, thinking I'd missed it the first time around.
Essay It Made Me Stronger?
Essay Who Motherhood Made Me?


Because of the orderly fashion in which the book of Acts is written, and because of the missions and leadership principles Luke deals with, we may assume he intended Acts to serve as a training manual for pastors and missionaries who were committed to spreading the Gospel. Unfortunately, most Christian leaders don't accept the Book of Acts as a guide for how to plant and multiply churches. I am convinced that if spiritual leaders spent just half their time doing what Paul did, the world would already have been evangelized several times over. And the churches they planted would have been born with multiplication in their genetic code.
1. Fear of Death. People just don't want to die like Paul did. Paul's methods for reaching the unreached and the unchurched are so radical that they guarantee fierce opposition, even persecution and death.
3. Pride. On the other hand, some leaders think they can improve on the way Paul did things, so they don't take his methods and principles seriously. One missionary said to me rather flippantly, "If Paul were alive today he would change the way he did things." When I asked him why he thought that way, he didn't know. He just assumed Paul would learn from our understanding and make changes accordingly. What arrogance!
4. Unfocused Goals. Many spiritual leaders have unclear goals of what they want to accomplish. Staying busy in ministry can easily take the place of being effective in ministry.
5. Unbelief. For some, the challenge to trust the Holy Spirit to break Satan's strongholds over cities and nations requires steps of faith and obedience they are not willing to take.
6. Ignorance. Few leaders have taken time to seriously study the church planting methods of Paul. Some even believe Paul had no concern for the poor. They suggest that by planting churches Paul had not thought through the best way to advance the kingdom of God.
7. Confused Missiology. Another reason I see for the church not following Paul's method of church planting is that people have changed, added to and amended how Paul did missions so much that he now gets blamed for all the slip-shod, unfocused, ineffective activity that is being done in the name of "missions." This is especially true for short-term missions activities, where so much more could be done if the leaders of these outreaches would apply the principles and practices of the great apostle. It should be pointed out that many of the churches Paul started were established on "short term" outreaches.
8. Poor Interpretation of Scripture. Some movements and churches have neglected the Pauline methodology because of the misunderstanding about what Jesus meant when he instructed his disciples to "...make disciples of all nations." There is a grave mistake in the thinking of some that cross cultural missionaries are commissioned by Jesus to reform the social, economic, educational and political structures that exists in nations. "Discipling nations" has thus come to connote transforming a nation rather than spreading the gospel. This approach to missions actually devalues the important ministry God has given to ordinary persons in a local church. Christians are to be salt and light in society, but that is not the calling of the cross-cultural missionary. When cross-cultural missionaries attempt to civilize rather than evangelize, they will colonize.
9. Inconsistent Application of Paul's Principles. According to Roland Allen (Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?), some people have neglected Paul's methods because they have "...adopted fragments of St. Paul's method and have tried to incorporate them into alien systems..." The failure that has resulted from these hybrid methodologies has been used as an excuse to reject the apostle's methods. To quote Allen again: "For example, people have baptized uninstructed converts and the converts have fallen away; but Paul did not baptize uninstructed converts apart from a system of mutual responsibility that insured their instruction." Obedience based discipleship based on hearing and obeying the Spirit as He instructs new converts is a much surer way to prepare followers of Jesus for baptism.
10. Disrespect For the Apostolic Calling of the Church. The Pauline approach to missions has lost it's stature in some circles because some spiritual leaders have borrowed the term "apostle" to reinforce their position of authority or dominance over their followers. Others have wanted recognition or prestige in the Body of Christ. "We are apostles," they claim, expecting have the same title means they deserve the same respect those early apostles had. Those were men of great courage who opposed the Roman Empire, withstood the fierce persecution of the Jewish leaders, and suffered and sacrificed to spread the gospel all over the world. If so called apostles were truly "sent ones" they would be giving their time and energy to pull down Satan's strongholds in the 10/40 window, endure stoning and jail sentences, plant scores of churches among the unreached, and spreading the good news of Jesus with courage and passion.


An event with a very distinct first and last theme took place in the skies over southern England on the afternoon of 14 September 2016.
Three Boeing Chinook HC.4 helicopters from RAF Odiham's Nos 18 (B) (ZA712), 27 (ZA683) and RAF Benson's 28 (ZH777) Squadrons took part in a formation photographic sortie from Odiham. This was the first time all three centenary marked Chinooks had been seen collectively together.
Before the flight departed an opportunity was afforded to a small group of media and invited guests to photograph the three Chinooks on Odiham's ramp.
For once the unpredictable British weather on the day was fine and sunny, as the air and ground crews prepared the three helicopters for their flight south. In company with the Chinooks, a Westland Lynx AH.9A (ZG916) from No 657 Squadron AAC acted as the formation's photoship.
At the allotted time the familiar thump of the Chinook's rotor blades and the underlying whine of their Lycoming T-55 engines were heard as each helicopter went through their pre-flight checks. The Chinooks, with ZA683, leading then taxyed and positioned themselves for the Lynx to take a number of photographs of the helicopters in the hover, looking back towards Odiham's hangars and ramp.
Following this the formation departed on their flight to the South Coast where they overflew Selsey, Portsmouth, Cowes and the Needles. The flight then turned inland and headed for one of the Chinook's regular training grounds, the Salisbury Plain Training Area, where a number of photographers were gathered to record the scene.
After spending over half an hour on the Plain, in which time the Chinook's positioned themselves so that each Squadron had a turn at leading, the three helicopters returned to Odiham accompanied by their Lynx photoship.
Whilst the three helicopters have often been seen individually, this was the first time all three had been observed together and according to RAF sources, is highly likely to be the last.
In 2015 and 2016 each Chinook had special artwork applied to commemorate their respective squadron's centenaries. The artwork was designed by Chinook pilot Flight Lieutenant Andy Donovan (who also organised the photographic sortie and choreography) and was applied by a specialist team from Serco.
This was the first of the trio of Chinooks to have the centenary colour scheme applied in May 2015 at RAF Odiham.
No 18 Squadron was formed at Northholt in May 1915 and at the time formed part of the Royal Flying Corps. The Squadron's badge features a rampant Pegasus which was approved for use by King Edward VIII in May 1936. In World War One the Squadron co-operated with the Cavalry Corp at the time of the Somme Offensive and Pegasus was chosen to commemorate this historic connection.
The scheme applied to the 18 Squadron Chinook within its design encompasses the Squadron's transition from 1915 through to 2015. There is a great deal of thought gone into this scheme which includes the change of colour of Pegasus from white to red in 1936, through recognition of the Squadron's participation in World War 2, operating the Canberra and present day operations. The finishing touch is the incorporation of 18's motto Animo et fide (With courage and faith).
On 5 November 1915 No 27 Squadron was formed as part of the Royal Flying Corps at Hounslow Heath Aerodrome. Initially equipped with the Martynside G.100 Elephant bi-plane, which was deemed to be a fighter, No 27 went on to utilise the aircraft for reconnaissance and bombing, a role for which it was more suited.
The centenary paint scheme was applied to the Chinook at RAF Odiham with unveiling taking place on 5 November 2015.
No 28 was formed on 7 November 1915 at Gosport but due to a number of changes that were taking place at the time, it was not been possible for the Squadron to celebrate its centenary until a later date. The 7 April 2016 was chosen to mark the event as it was also the day the Squadron moved into its new hangar facilities at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire.
The Squadron's badge features a demi-Pegasus and fasces which was approved in 1936 by King Edward VIII. The demi-Pegasus represents the white horse carved into the chalk near Yatesbury, No 28's first operational base, whilst the fasces commemorates the Squadron's service in Italy in World War One.
My thanks go to Nyssa Cole at RAF Odiham for co-ordinating the event and to Chris Cannon - www.simplyplanes.co.uk - for the invite.

Angola's de-dollarization dilemma
The drive away from the dollar and towards meaningful use of the kwanza could make Angola's poor even more vulnerable.
A woman walks past a Chinese construction site in Lubango, Angola
Angola is one of Africa's richest countries. After a harrowing civil war lasting 30 years came to an end in 2002, the country has made huge strides forward, taking advantage of the country's natural wealth of oil and diamonds.
But this natural wealth has remained largely out of reach for the average Angolan. While there are the few that take lengthy holidays to the Mediterranean, sail their yachts and drink champagne, the rest of the population lives in poverty: unemployment is rife, literacy rates fall far from expectations, and infant mortality rates are high. With stunted infrastructure growth and pressures from a subdued oil price, opportunities for Angola's majority are limited.
Angola's cash strapped government, which has revised its most recent budget down due the dramatic fall in the oil price, will soon start to struggle to keep up with the infrastructure spending as it currently stands.
One way to tackle the slowdown in this development, which will also tackle Angola's social inequality, could be through an increase in foreign direct investment. FDI can bring with it opportunities, jobs, and myriad other benefits.
Investor benefits
To this end, Angola is trying. Most recently, Angola's authorities revised a foreign investment law, which offers tax breaks and other incentives to draw investors in. Further benefits are offered to those types of investments that target rural areas as well as those away from the oil sector and there are even plans in place for international companies to partner with local SMEs. Diversification of Angola's oil dependent economy is key and the main driving force behind the law.
Ventures such as Porto Ciao, Angola's first public private partnership which aims to build a world-class port in one of Angola's northern-most provinces, plans on training locals to work on the project over the long term. It is the hope that some of these projects will have a sense of social responsibility as well as an aim of financial gain.
But Angola's de-dollarization drive – the slow removal of the greenback as the currency of choice on the ground to be replaced by the local kwanza – comes at odds with Angola's foreign investment drive.
As low oil revenues combine with the de-dollarization process, government bodies are struggling to find the dollars to pay contractors and local SMEs are struggling to pay loans in an environment where dollars become harder to come by. As a result, banks are becoming a more risk averse as they see NPL ratios tick up as SMEs struggle to pay back loans. Within this context of low dollar liquidity, foreign investors will be rightly steer clear of the risks.
The de-dollarization drive is in part for Angola to begin using its own currency in a more meaningful way, and to create a national identity. But at the same time, the drive could limit foreign investment and the amelioration of the people. That's a situation that the government may find it tricky to deal with as time goes on and the gap between the rich and poor gets wider.

Home/Sports/SMB flexes might, draws first blood in QF series vs Converge
SMB flexes might, draws first blood in QF series vs Converge
Unleashed in their familiar hunting ground, the Beermen wasted no time in reminding everyone why they sat atop the league's food chain in the past years.
CJ Perez leads San Miguel Beer to a blowout Game 1 win vs Converge (PBA Images)
San Miguel Beer proved to be just a different beast in the playoffs, beating Converge on all fronts to cruise to a 114-96 victory and draw first blood in their best-of-three quarterfinals series in the 2022 PBA Commissioner's Cup at the PhilSports Arena on Wednesday, Dec. 7.
The Beermen gave the FiberXers a dose of their own medicine with their relentless transition attacks which were anchored on the solid interior defense behind June Mar Fajardo and import Devon Scott.
SMB asserted its might in the first half and built a lead that ballooned to as many as 31 points before it leaned on the clutch performance from CJ Perez who steadied the ship for the Beermen against Converge's huge fourth quarter storm.
Perez spearheaded the Beermen's vaunted firepower with 25 points – seven of which came in the final five minutes of the contest to douse the FiberXers rally which cut the lead down to just 11 points in the final frame.
Scott also made sure to exact his revenge on Converge which gave him a rude welcome in his debut, posting 23 points and 12 rebounds while Fajardo was in his usual dominant self with a double-double output of 19 points and 16 rebounds.
Terrence Romeo and Marcio Lassiter added 13 and 11 points, respectively.
The FiberXers continued to threaten the Beermen in the final frame behind import Quincy Miller who poured in 41 points but their last gasp rally was ultimately foiled by Perez and the Beermen who were just too poised in the final five minutes of the game.
The Beermen made sure to put on the brakes on the FiberXers rousing offense, denying their signature transition attacks while putting enough challenge on Converge's shooters who went 0-of-19 from deep in the first half.
On the other end of the floor, SMB just dumped the ball inside either Fajardo or Scott who both managed to create their shots inside the paint and hit open teammates from their kickout passes.
The rout however didn't come without a scare as Converge finally found the mark at the start of the second half, going toe-to-toe with SMB as the two teams exploded for 33 points each in the third quarter.

Q: Android regular task (cronjob equivalent) The last time this question was asked (by a different user), the answer response was:

If this is in a running activity, you could use Timer/TimerTask and a Handler, or you could use postDelayed() and an AsyncTask.

Here: Android Repetitive Task
I am still learning how to program android. I have gone through the skills I do know including threads and had many issues with my code. Can anyone give an example of how to use: time/timertask and handler OR postDelayed() and AsyncTask.

A: The most suitable approach is through services. I learned how to write services by looking at the source code for the stock Email app that is included with Android.
The general idea is that you override the Service class, and set up alarms to activate your service. Unlike daemons and Windows services, Android services aren't always running - they start up (usually when activated by an alarm), perform work, then shut down. In some cases, you may need to acquire a partial wake lock to keep the service going until it completes the task - otherwise, Android may kill your service prematurely.

A: If you want to build a cronjob runner then what you want is a Service:

A Service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface. Another application component can start a service and it will continue to run in the background even if the user switches to another application. Additionally, a component can bind to a service to interact with it and even perform interprocess communication (IPC). For example, a service might handle network transactions, play music, perform file I/O, or interact with a content provider, all from the background.

A: For Cron like tasks you have to use AlarmManager, this is a system service, for using it in your code you need to call:
AlarmManager myAlarmManager = Context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE).

Discussion in 'General Mac Discussion' started by beefstu01, Jun 19, 2003.
Hey, I don't know if Apple would do this, but after Panther is shown at WWDC, do you think that every computer sold after that day will have a free upgrade to Panther option? I don't know if Apple did this for Jaguar, and I don't really want to compare Apple to Dell, but Dell offered free upgrades to XP just before it came out.
I believe that Apple had something that if you bought a computer after a certain date, and it didn't have Jaguar, you could buy a Jaguar CD from them for $20.
I know it's not free, but it still helps Apple and it's not expensive at all, seeing as you get $110 off.
Usually Apple will offer some sort of discount. They did for Jaguar, where only those who purchase a Mac on or after July 17 qualified for a free upgrade from Mac OS X to Jaguar (they had to pay Apple $20 to ship a CD though).
If Panther is a paid upgrade and if it is as costly as the Jaguar upgrade (at $130), Apple will most likely do a similar program.
there's no "if" about this. Panther will cost cash, lol.
they will probably have an upgrade plan though for new machines bought and it will probably cost the price of a CD and shipping. this will be especially true if they release new 970 Powermacs running a special build of Jaguar--these will likely have a totally free upgrade to panther when it ships.
ill say it again and people will bitchat me all day but oh well. if apple sticks to what they have said in the past panther will be free. but none of will know until they announce it.
what have they said in the past? last i heard, jaguar cost a full 130$. are you talking about how 10.1 was free and 10.0 cost money? you could speculate on that, but i think that 10.1 was free because 10.0 had no justification for charging--it was a "fake" OS like the first release of windows 95. 10.2 is a perfectly stable, full-featured OS. i want apple to charge for 10.3. they need the money, and their OS is one piece of merchandise they sell that is most certainnly not overpriced.
i believe it was phil talking on some video, not something inside thing because many people can back me up on this but he said they would like to have every other OS to be free, as in 10.1,10.3,10.5, see what i mean. but its hard to believe they may do that so thats why we wont know until whenever they announce it.
I don't know, a lot of people are happy with 10.2 so far. After they show off Panther, it better have enough features to justify a $129 price tag, if that's what they're going to do. Maybe it'll be free or cheap to 10.2 owners, but full price for 9 to 10.1 users. I can just see them charging full price for everybody just for a few new features and some speed, but you have to use 10.3 for things like Safari. Combine that with no G5, and you have a riot.
Come on cheap upgrades and 970s.
Apple is a business and the main asset of this business is the MAC OS. They will charge for it.
If half the rumors of Panther are true, then many people will gladly pay for it, regardless of cost.
But I suspect with the hype aurrounding this OS and all the other 64 bit/970 hype, Apple will use the momentum to have a few sales of th OS.
Plus, if they sell Panther, at $129 then that helps them keep 970 prices the same or lower than the current lineup.
yeah, gotta be careful about taking comments to seriously--like "we won't be releasing new hardware at expos so much"--after which follows the 12 and 17 inch powerbooks... and "no more public safari builds..."
no gateway needs money, i think if apple charges they should put those stupid coupons to use and offer a cheaper upgrade. maybe we will find out monday.
why? they gross like billions of dollars less than some PC companies i could name. don't take it out of context!
