In a nutshell…empires wax and wane, and what we are seeing today is the slow and gradual waning of U.S. empire in the new century. I call this phase of U.S. empire the "security state," a phase in which the U.S. turns to war as the only means of maintaining its status as the superpower. This book examines, through research in American popular culture, media and law, how Americans, based on race and gender, are dealing with this change as they try to both protest and shore up the power of their country.

Non-representational Theory
By: Paul Simpson
Non-representational Theory explores a range of ideas which have recently engaged geographers and have led to the development of an alternative approach to the conception, practice, and production of geographic knowledge. Non-representational Theory refers to a key body of work that has emerged in geography over the past two and a half decades that emphasizes the importance of practice, embodiment, materiality, and process to the ongoing formation of social life. This title offers the first sole-authored, accessible introduction to this work and its impact on geography.
Without being prescriptive the text provides a general explanation of what Non-representational Theory is. This includes discussion of the disciplinary context it emerged from, the key ideas and themes that characterise work associated with Non-representational Theory, and the theoretical points of reference that inspires it. The book then explores a series of conjunctions of 'Non-representational Theory and...', taking an area of geographic enquiry and exploring the impact Non-representational Theory has had on how it is researched and understood. This includes the relationships between Non-representational Theory and Practice, Affect, Materiality, Landscape, Performance, and Methods. Critiques of Non-representational Theory are also broached, including reflections on issues on identity, power, and difference.
The text draws together the work of a range of established and emerging scholars working on the development of non-representational theories, allowing scholars from geography and other disciplines to access and assess the animating potential of such work. This volume is essential reading for undergraduates and post-graduate students interested in the social, cultural, and political geographies of everyday living.

Nigerian player Oniya collapses, dies in Malaysia
Local By The Nation Newspaper
NIGERIAN defender David Faramola Oniya collapsed on the pitch and died after playing just a few minutes of a local friendly in Malaysia on Saturday, reports said.
Oniya, 30, went down about three minutes into the game for T-Team and was pronounced dead at hospital around half-an-hour later, the club`s chief executive told The Star newspaper.
CEO Syahrizan Mohd Zain said Oniya, who was in his first season with second-tier T-Team, had barely touched the ball in the friendly with Super League side Kelantan in Kota Bharu.
"There was no hard running and it was a slow tempo match. It`s only a friendly game," Syahrizan was quoted as saying.
"The match was called off in the 60th minute when we received a call from the hospital that Oniya had died."
Deaths on the pitch, often from heart failure, are not unheard of and Belgium lost two players in two weeks in late April and May.
The most prominent case was Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe, who collapsed and died while playing a Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia in Lyon in 2003.

This browser extension shows you just how smart Facebook's image recognition is
by Abhimanyu Ghoshal — in Apps
Between Facebook's social network, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, the company says its users share more than 2 billion photos each day. That's a lot of content – and also a lot that visually impaired people don't get to see.
To that end, Facebook spent 10 months building image recognition tech to analyze and tag photos with descriptions of their contents – and it's pretty damn accurate. It helps blind users by making these descriptions available to screen reading software so they can understand what's in the photos people have shared on their timelines and in their feeds.
*chirp chirp*
Who's there? It's early bird tickets to TNW2020
You can now see just how good it is at recognizing people, objects, expressions, activities, events and spaces, thanks to a Chrome and Firefox browser extension built by California-based developer Adam Geitgey.
Credit: Adam Geitgey
Install the extension, and it'll display tags that Facebook uses as alt text for photos shared by users across its site, as overlays on each image. Facebook's tech can figure out how many people are sitting or standing in a picture, whether they're smiling or not, if the background is indoors or out, and whether there's a baseball game under way in the shot.
Whether you're curious about how powerful Facebook's image recognition engine is, or want to know how photos might be perceived by blind users on the social network, this is a neat tool to try out. The extension is available from the Chrome Web Store and the Firefox Add-ons site.

Camarosmith Self-Titled
By Frank Meyer, Contributing Editor
Monday, October 13, 2003 @ 11:22 PM
(Dead Teenage Records)
Heavy, bludgeoning, raw and rockin' is how one might describe the self-titled debut by Seattle's Camarosmith. Starring Jeff Matz and Donny Paycheck from Zeke, Camarosmith is a band that started as a side-project, a hard rock retreat for the guys to escape the speed metal-punk fury of Zeke, but has blossomed into a full-time lean, mean metal machine.
Camaerosmith's self-titled debut was produced by legendary grunge knob-twirler Jack Endino and certainly has shades of the Seattle sound, yet is much closer in sonic thrills to bands like Fu Manchu, Speedealer or Nebula. I wouldn't call songs like "It's Alright," "S.O.S.," and "Corrupt" stoner rock, so much as odes to '70s metal gods like Black Sabbath, Montrose and Judas Priest carried on in the most faithful tradition. While they don't stray much from the familiar formula of this genre, they embrace it so wholeheartedly that it's hard not to be enticed.
When the band gets bluesy on "714" you can hear the Robin Trower influence as strongly as the Budgie leanings. And when guitarists Chris Johnson and Pat Brown noodle on "Flight of the Red Wing," you can just feel them giggling as they reminisce down Maiden lane. Yet it's vocalist Ben Rew who really steals the show here, unleashing as ass-whomping, bluesy snarl over every tracks and flexing quite a dynamic vocal range (which is virtually unheard of this genre). The man is a powerhouse, the kind of singer all rock bands should have.
Sure, fans of Zeke will dig this, but me say lots of others will too. So go buy.

Kyiv, 30 March 2017 – Ukraine and other countries could see inequalities and exclusion rise sharply if measures are not taken to protect vulnerable groups from unemployment, discrimination and shocks. Women and girls, rural dwellers, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees, and the LGBTI community, are among those systematically excluded by economic, but also political, social and cultural barriers.
These are among the findings of the Human Development Report 2016 entitled 'Human Development for Everyone', released on 21 March in Stockholm, Sweden by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and launched on 30 March in Kyiv, Ukraine.
"Averages conceal inequalities", said Neal Walker, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Ukraine. "We must look below the averages, and it becomes clear that a significant number of lives have scarcely been touched by progress the Human Development index records".
In Ukraine, there are 1.7 million internally displaced persons, 2.8 million people with disabilities, about 60% live below the poverty line defined as actual substance minimum. The disadvantage they face is multidimensional. The report shows that certain groups face disadvantages that often overlap and reinforce one another, increasing vulnerability, widening the generational gap, and making it harder to catch up with others who enjoy higher standards of living.
The report calls for the provision of decent jobs and access to basic services, and recognizes the importance of giving vulnerable groups in particular greater participation, autonomy and a voice in decision-making processes. Key data, disaggregated for characteristics such as place, gender, age, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity is also vital to know who is being left behind, the authors add.
In Ukraine, the Human Development Index measured in the report is at 0.743 - 84 out of 188 countries and territories. Since 1990, HDI value increased by 5.2 percent; life expectancy at birth increased by 1.3 years, mean years of schooling increased by 2.2 years and expected years of schooling increased by 2.9 years, GNI per capita decreased by 31.9 percent. However, Ukraine remains below the average for countries in the high human development group and below the average for countries in the Europe and Central Asia region.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development holds the promise of sharing the benefits of development more evenly among different groups and generations. The report offers recommendations to reorient policies to ensure progress reaches those furthest behind and points to several positive examples from the region.
Ukraine, despite some regress in the Human Development Index, has adopted and is implementing a comprehensive package of critical reforms, such as health, education and social security reforms, land and deregulation reforms, public administration, anti-corruption and law enforcement reforms and many other changes.
The ultimate outcome of these reforms should be progress in human development for every person in Ukraine, with no exception and leaving no one behind.
HDR as you never saw it before: UNV and UNDP Ukraine have prepared a short summary of the content of the Human Development Report 2016, focusing on "Human Development for Everyone", in international and Ukrainian sign language, thanks to UN Volunteer Rupmani Chhetri and her interpreter Mariana.
Selim Jahan, Director of the Human Development Report Office and lead author of the 2016 Human Development Report 'Human Development for Everyone' introduces its main findings and policy recommendations.


This is Carolina's cupboard that she wanted to turn into a project center. It was built by her father and she cherishes it.
What is not evident in the picture is the fact that the crack or separation across the top and down the sides was almost complete and the unit had to be strapped together to be able to transport it.
Repairs were made while it was still on the trailer to have some conficence that it could be moved into the shop in one piece.
The cupboard was mostly just scruffy and ugly from being in the garage for decades and she wanted to put it in the living room. Aside from the major repair to attach the front and rear halves of it, it required only very minor repairs.
This is the finished cupboard. The top/work surface was stripped but there were so many layers of paint that one stripping was obviously not going to do it. It did, however, reveal every layer of paint over put on it along with bare wood in some places.
Something just said that she would want to see it like that so she was called and came by after work. The immediate command was to stop right there. She loved it. It was cleaned up, sanded smooth, and a clear finish was put on that part of it. She had the history preserved.

Q: Discrete Math Big O Notations I'm studying for my discrete math class and I don't fully understand how to proof how a function is not a big O for certain questions. I understand that you have to assume that it is big O and proof by contradiction.
Please explain how you attacked these questions step by step.
1) $1$ is not $O(\frac{1}{x})$
2) $e^x$ is not $O(x^5)$

A: 1) Suppose $1=O(1/x)$. Then there exists a constant $C$ such that for all large $x$, we have $1 \le C/x$. However, for all $x>C$ we have $C/x < 1$, a contradiction.
2) Suppose $e^x=O(x^5)$. Then there exists a constant $C$ such that for all large $x$ we have $e^x \le Cx^5$. However, $\frac{e^x}{x^5} \to \infty$ as $x \to \infty$, a contradiction. [As Peter suggests, use L'Hopital's rule multiple times, or expand the Taylor series for $e^x$.]

Functional Programmers: Why we call them first-class citizens?
Home / Functional Programmers: Why we call them first-class citizens?
Pranav
Convergence Intelligence, Mathematics
In programming language design, a first-class citizen (also type, object, entity, or value) in a given programming language is an entity which supports all the operations generally available to other entities. These operations typically include being passed as an argument, returned from a function, and assigned to a variable. In computer science, a programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats functions as first-class citizens.
Functional languages — languages where functions are the primary means of building programs — all have first class functions.
When you say that a language has first-class functions, it means that the language treats functions as values – that you can assign a function into a variable, pass it around etc. Higher-order functions are functions that work on other functions, meaning that they take one or more functions as an argument and can also return a function.
The "higher-order" concept can be applied to functions in general, like functions in the mathematical sense. The "first-class" concept only has to do with functions in programming languages. It's seldom used when referring to a function, such as "a first-class function". It's much more common to say that "a language has/hasn't first-class function support".
First-class value can be
passed as an argument
returned from a subroutine
assigned into a variable
Second-class value just can be passed as an argument.
Third-class value even can't be passed as an argument.
When it comes to functional programming, Python is classified as a "hybrid" language. It supports the functional programming paradigm, but equally supports imperative paradigms (both procedural and object-oriented). Other languages with built-in support for programming in a functional paradigm as well as other paradigms are: F#, C#, Scala, Java 8.
Functional programming proved to be booster to success of big data revolution. The main reason is that functional programming facilitates distributed programming.

Michigan Opens the Door for Expanded Solar Development on Farmland
On Monday, June 3, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) announced MDARD's decision to allow for commercial solar energy development on land currently enrolled in the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Program, commonly known as PA 116.
PA 116 was established in 1975 and is designed to preserve farmland and open space in Michigan. PA 116 enables landowners to enter into Farmland Development Rights Agreements (also referred to as PA 116 Agreements) with MDARD that restrict development on farmland and provide tax incentives and special assessment exemptions to participating farmland owners. Land subject to PA 116 Agreements must remain in agricultural use for a minimum of 10 years and is protected from any non-agricultural development.
This new policy creates a substantial opportunity for solar developers with respect to land in the State of Michigan. Prior to this policy change, PA 116 Agreements frequently presented an obstacle to solar developers searching for large areas of land for projects within the State. A developer looking to build a commercial solar project on land subject to a PA 116 agreement had to seek a release, which is only available in extremely limited circumstances, and these were often not capable of being met. If a release could be obtained, however, the landowner had to then repay the tax credits taken during the last seven years, plus interest on the parcel being removed. Under the newly announced policy, a release, and the related immediate repayment of tax credits, is no longer required.
To take advantage of the new policy, the landowner must split their original PA 116 Agreement pursuant MCL 324.36110(4). The land that is not subject to a Commercial Solar Agreement will continue to operate under the original PA 116 Agreement. The landowner must enter into an Amended Farmland Development Rights Agreement for the land subject to a Commercial Solar Agreement. In signing the Amended Farmland Development Rights Agreement and a Commercial Solar Agreement with the Solar Project Company, the landowner agrees to certain conditions, including, but not limited to:
The existing PA 116 agreement is extended by deferring its continuation until after the solar energy agreement ends.
Landowner cannot claim tax credits during the time the property is used to generate solar power.
Solar Project Company must design and plant the site to achieve at least a 76 on the Michigan Pollinator Habitat Planning Scorecard for Solar Sites.
Any portion of the site not included in pollinator plantings must maintain United States Department of Agriculture—Natural Resource Conservation Service Cover Standard 327.
Solar Project Company must obtain maintain financial surety sufficient enough to decommission the solar array and return the property to agricultural purposes.
Establishment and maintenance of the site must be such that the land can to be returned to agricultural uses at the end of the solar agreement.
Currently, there is an estimated 3.4 million acres of farmland enrolled in PA 116 which presents a significant opportunity for new solar energy development in Michigan. Dykema has extensive experience handling MDARD agreements and in renewable energy developments throughout Michigan and is prepared to assist with the full array of real estate matters, including acquisition, construction, zoning and land use, leasing, financing, regulatory compliance, and litigation. If you have questions about solar development on PA 116 land, please contact Stephen Estey at 248-203-0538, Adam Fishkind at 248-203-0749 or your regular Dykema contact.

Are Sugar-Sweetened Drinks Addictive?
By Traci Pedersen
Sugar-sweetened beverages may be quite addictive and can lead to withdrawal symptoms when a consumer quits suddenly. In a new study, teen participants who were deprived of sugary drinks for just three days reported headaches, cravings, lack of motivation and other withdrawal symptoms.
The new findings, published in the journal Appetite, are consistent with previous research suggesting the addictive potential for sugar, a relatively new but burgeoning area with parallels to substance abuse.
"An abundance of research points to sugary drinks as contributing to a number of chronic diseases. Our findings — that these drinks may have addictive properties — make their ubiquitous availability and advertising to youth even more concerning for public health," said lead author Dr. Jennifer Falbe, assistant professor in the Department of Human Ecology in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California (UC) Davis.
Prior to the research, all 25 participants (ages 13 to 18) had reported that they normally consumed at least three sugar-sweetened beverages a day. All participants were overweight and three-quarters were female.
The teens were told to consume their normal beverages for five days. Then for three days afterward, they were instructed to consume only water or plain milk. Participants kept beverage journals and reported in to researchers several times during the study.
They also submitted saliva samples to test for caffeine intake, which could influence the results. Most of the teens were not high caffeine consumers before the study, reducing the likelihood that they were just suffering from caffeine withdrawal, an established disorder, rather than also reduced sugar intake.
During the three-day period of cessation from sugary drinks, the teens reported the following specific symptoms: increased headaches, decreased motivation to do work, lack of contentment and ability to concentrate, cravings for sugary drinks, and lower ratings of overall well-being.
The study has strong implications as sugar-sweetened beverage consumption by teens has increased five-fold since the 1950s, and adolescence is a time for increased susceptibility to addiction. Young people, the report said, consume the largest amounts of sugary beverages and have seen the greatest relative gains in obesity in the past several decades.
"These results, combined with present and future corroborating evidence, could inform clinical practice around helping adolescents reduce sugar-sweetened beverage intake, have important implications for messaging in public health campaigns, and inform the need for efforts to reduce sugar-sweetened-beverage advertising to youth and those drinks' availability in and around schools," the report concluded.

The Musings and Rants of an Irish Anglican Priest
Living Outside the Box
Sermon for Sunday 30th July 2006 (Trinity 7, Year B)
2 passages to begin – one from each of this Sunday's appointed readings:
"In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. In the letter he wrote: "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, so that he may be struck down and die" (2 Samuel 11)
"Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted." (John 6)
If you sat down all day and all night with the Bible in front of you I don't think you would find two passages which show more effectively the huge gulf that can exist between rights and responsibilities. In the first passage David is exercising his rights – however repulsive his behaviour he is acting within his rights.
We think of rights as something which protect people from harm or injustice and yet the consequences of David asserting his rights are catastrophic for Uriah as David pursues his lustful desire for Bathsheba.
In the second passage Jesus is exercising his responsibility in feeding the 5 thousand. He doesn't have to do it. He could have let the crowd go hungry but he doesn't – He had a right to ignore their plight – after all they should have made provision for themselves – but he doesn't, he rather embraces his responsibility towards them as fellow human beings made in the image of God.
In the world today we hear a lot about human rights – There is huge concern about the rights of innocent civilians caught up in the current war in Lebanon and Gaza.
We cannot fail to be moved by pictures of children with limbs blown off and faces shattered by bombs and rockets. No matter what our political outlook on this conflict it is abhorrent to see the young and innocent victims of war so horribly maimed. And as we know all too well the failure to protect human rights is nothing new……As long as men and women have breathed on this earth we have constantly failed to acknowledge the essential dignity and sacredness of the human person, no matter what their faith or ethnic background.
Even when we do acknowledge human rights we can be very selective when it comes to their observance – We live in a world filled with people and powers which like David are good at identifying their own rights but not so good about recognising the rights of others. We build our own little self contained worlds within which everyone on the inside is looked after and loved but we are inclined to forget or ignore the implications of our actions for the rest of the world.
Mark Edington a chaplain to Harvard University put it beautifully in a recently published sermon called "Right Angles and Straight Lines". (See Links below)
In this he describes how we go about constructing our models of Church and Community like we would a house with a carpenter's square. This simple tool makes sure that all our angles are right angles and that the walls and roof match and fit perfectly. Using this analogy he says that once we have got the perfect structure with all the right angles we are happy. But we lack something – Our house (or our Church or Community) may have walls and a roof that are in perfect proportion to one another but they may simulataneously be in conflict with the surrounding houses (churches and communities). With a carpenter's square you cannot tell whether the rooms in the house you are building are also square with the world outside the house – God's world.
Edington looks to the prophet Amos for the missing piece in the puzzle. In Amos Chapter 7 we read the following:
"This is what he showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, 'Amos, what do you see?' And I said, 'A plumb-line.' Then the Lord said,
'See, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by;"
The plumbline is the necessary external point of reference that allows us to build our houses (our churches and our communities) in sympathy and harmony with one another. For the Christian that plumbline is Christ and he challenges the integrity of all of the little worlds that we create.
David was operating in a system that allowed him to exercise his rights at the expense of the brave and loyal Uriah the Hittite. As far as David was concerned he was acting with integrity and justice. He was living in a world of right angles and perfect proportion. When we compare what he did to the behaviour of Jesus in feeding the 5,000 we see just how out of synch, how perverted was David's idea of right and wrong. His is the perfect example of how rights can become the fulfilment of selfish desire and nothing more than that.
The Church has always been wary of the language of rights – perhaps principally for the reason we have been just discussing. They can emphasise the perceived needs of the individual at the expense of the greater good. They can be a charter for the spoilt child mentality. What King David did was simply the behaviour of a spoilt child indulging himself regardless of others.
Rights too have come to be associated with litigation. Daily we read of cases taken by individuals who have no sense of responsibility for themselves never mind anyone else and expect others to reward them for their own carelessness.
Rights also seem to be expressed and exercised at the expense of responsibility and duty. For all these reasons the Church has been very wary of backing the human rights agenda and in some cases in human history has turned its back on and ignored some very genuine cases of human rights abuses. This behaviour cannot be justified by any reading of the Gospel. Jesus cares deeply about every single individual he meets. That is what marks him out – his extraordinary compassion for the individual – his love not just for the 'idea' of Creation but the 'whole' of Creation. He feels a deep sense of responsibility – stronger than that – A DUTY to all those who are created in God's image. That is I think the key – when we recognise the other (whoever they are) as a Creation of the God of Love, then we have a responsibility or a duty to them as bearers of the Image of God. It is in that situation that rights can be derived and exercised in such a way that they will not violate the integrity of others.
Rights are not a secular issue – they are a deeply spiritual one which comes from the recognition of our common inheritance of the Kingdom of God. These are values that the Church must stand for because they offer a way forward that will not trample on the other. As Christians we have a huge privelage and a burden of responsibility in sharing these values with a world which is full of individuals and groups with carpenters squares but lacking the guidance of a plumbline. Without God the idea of responsibility and duty is lost – it becomes merely a choice and one without any ethical dimension. That is the consequence of living in a world made with a carpenter's square but no plumbline. The most dangerous thing of all is that the Church can retreat into one of those perfectly square houses and pull down the shutters in search of right angles and safe boundaries. That is not our calling – we are called to be out there with Christ as our Guide and his Love as our way.

Advice for Travellers
Sermon for Sunday 9th July 2006
Gospel: Mark 6: 1-13
Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics.
Some travellers advice from Jesus from today's Gospel – If you were to give the same advice advice today people might look at you a little strangely!
Whatever about that advice one thing that would be a little less controversial is the observation that travel broadens the mind – Certainly it provides new experiences and information to add to the chaotic clutter that most of us have knocking around inside our skulls.
Last week on holidays I saw something really interesting that made me stop and think!
A bin of all things!
I know you are probably saying he got too much sun while he was away and has gone slightly gaga!
But no it was a bin and a very interesting bin at that!
What was interesting was what was on the side of the bin apart from the congealed dripping of various unfinished ice-creams and drinks –
It was an advert for one of the local church communities obviously reaching out to the tourist market. It was called the South Tenerife Christian Fellowship and they had rented out the space on the side of all the bins on the seafront at Los Cristianos to advertise their existence. The advert itself was very cleverly worded – Beside a cartoon picture of an out of breath and heavily perspiring runner was the caption
"Feeling run down?"….."Then call in for a "Service" and Sunday at 11am and 6pm."
At first glance you might think this inappropriate – who would want to identify Jesus with somewhere you put your rubbish – somewhere you get rid of the things that are no longer useful to you? And yet it is strangely appropriate as we are reminded by Tim Costello a leading campaigner for social justice and a Baptist pastor who said the following:
"Jesus wasn't crucified between two candlesticks in a cathedral in a sacred place. He was crucified on the rubbish dump outside the city wall. He was crucified in a cosmopolitan, multicultural place where the inscription above him had to be written in Greek, in Hebrew, and in Latin. He was crucified in a place where soldiers gambled, where smut was talked, and where criminals shrieked in agony as they died."
When we arrived back from Tenerife on Friday night I was talking to a friend who was saying that he had been reading in one of the Irish papers last week how the Island was getting a reputation for itself as a centre of debauchery! If it is true I am afraid I missed it and would have to go back and look for the evidence. We were obviously staying in the quieter part of the Island and going to all the wrong places! The only vaguely over the top behaviour we noticed was in the wake of some of the World Cup games, especially the English when their hoplessly over-inflated hopes were dashed. However it is certainly a cosmopolitan multicultural place and no doubt there are places where one can indulge in debauchery if so inclined.
It is also a place where much of the suffering of the African Continent is coming to Europe. The Islands are just off North Africa which gives them a very pleasing climate but also makes them a popular destination for refugees who come to Tenerife on a regular basis on makeshift and un-seaworthy boats to find a safer and better life. However many of the boats sink on route and those that do make it are often carrying the bodies of those who have died on route. All this happens a few hundred yards from the tourist beach at Los Cristianos where we were staying and is carefully hidden in as much as is possible by the authorities who obviously fear for its impact on tourism.
It is a place where entertainment and enjoyment are the center of things. It is not the kind of place I could imagine living in but certainly it was a very enjoyable place to unwind.
However, very often people do not just go on holidays to unwind – very often they go to get away from something or even somebody that they have been having problems with.
The sad truth is that you can rarely run away from your problems – they come with you in the luggage and they can be even more debilitating when you do not have the distractions of work and other things to occupy the mind.
And so the ministry that this Christian community was offering was both valuable and necessary. And in using the bins as a point of contact they were not only using a highly public space but they were perhaps also saying that even when you feel useless and redundant God has something for you…….?
I don't know – maybe I read too much into it but that is what it said to me.
It also highlights a big difference in the mission and ministry of the Church in the world today. In today's Gospel Jesus has all sorts of salient advice for his disciples as they continue his mission – there is a lot of concrete advice about travelling and lodgings while spreading the Good News. There are also some interesting observations about the difficulties of preaching in familiar territories.
All of this is in the context of a world where the Church comes to the people…..where itinerant preachers like St Paul and others like him are going into new places and new worlds spreading the Good News. What possible relevance can this Gospel have for today we might ask? There are few corners of the Earth that the Gospel has not reached – there are very few places where the Church does not have a tangeable presence! In all our great cities around the world there are huge Cathedrals testifying to the Gospel. In most towns villages there is at least one church and in many a multiplicity. So is this part of the Gospel redundant – Is it irrelevant – Can we/Should we disgard it as an anachronism?
To attempt to get at the answer I want to consider for a moment another image.
This time the location is not so exotic – It is a pub in Dingle (I refuse to call it An Daingean). The pub is called Dick Mack's and is very popular among locals and tourists alike. The pub is sited opposite the Roman Catholic Church in Dingle and has a very interesting caption on its side gate where the deliveries are made.
The caption is this: "Where is Dick Mack's? and the answer underneath reads: "Opposite the Church"That is only half the story for there is a second question and answer under the first and it is this:"Where is the Church?" and the answer reads: "Opposite Dick Mack's"
This to me is almost a parable. The first question and answer represents the place of the church in society until perhaps only a couple of decades ago. Other places are defined in relation to the Church. It is the center of peoples lives.
The second is the situation as we find it today where the Church is defined in relation to a new and rapidly shifting centre or multiplicity of centres.
And so as the centre of society moves so inevitably does the Church and to do that it once again needs to acquire the tools of pilgrimage and mission. Things have actually gone full circle. Christianity started on the periphery and gradually moved to the centre and became the centre – now we once again find ourselves on the periphery and we need to put on our walking shoes again.
Jesus observed in today's Gospel that "Prophets are not without honour, except in their home town, and among their own kin, and in their own house". It just may be that the Church has become too much at home and taken its place in society for granted – has stayed too long in the one place and finds itself compromised by its accommodations to the world. To use another cliché "Familiarity breeds contempt" – It seems to have lost its cutting edge – the challenge that is not just designed to criticise people but to bring out the very best that they can be! That is what God wants for each one of us…..that is what Jesus died for….that we might have life in abundance and if the Church is to communicate that wonderful message then it has to make sure that it is in the places that it needs to be.
And where are those places? – Those places are everywhere, from the darkest and most vile to brightest and most wonderful places. The Good News has the power to penetrate into all situations and we sometimes need a little more confidence in the message we carry. It means going to places that for us are the periphery of our world and places we do not want to go but places that are the centre for some other human beings who are also created in the image and likeness of God.

The Brother (Peter Neill)
Soul Surmise


Boston was our last port of call. It took us awhile to decide what we should do in this port. Boston is about a 5 hour drive for us and we both had been there before.
We decided to take an excursion that was a walking tour of the Beacon Hill area with a stop at Cheers.
We took a bus to the Beacon Hill area and then we started our tour. I had never been to that area and it was interesting to hear the history as well as what is like to live in that area today. We went into the Boston Public Library and found beautiful artwork and a courtyard area. At around the halfway point, we stopped at the "Cheers" bar. The show "Cheers" used the outside of the bar as the outside of the bar on the show. Our tour included a drink there which was a nice break.
The tour was listed as a moderate activity level and it was definitely correctly labeled. After 3 hours of walking with some decent uphill areas, we were definitely feeling it.
Our tour ended at Quincy Market. We were given a coupon for a shuttle bus ride back to the port. At that point, we could spend as much time as we were like at Quincy Market and then return to the port. We walked around a bit and had lunch (lobster mac and cheese, yum!!).


So how do we live in gratitude? God gave us minds to think and hearts to be thankful (Colossians 3:15-16). Gratitude should never be silent. Happiness is like a sugar high for some. It can come and go quickly. Joy is sustainable. Gratitude ignites joy and sustains joy. The opposite of gratitude is bitterness. Bitterness allows pain to live longer. Gratitude begins where our sense of entitlement ends. Gratitude is like fertilizer – sometimes it stinks to do it but when you do you grow and so do others.

First Steps to Take Before You Can Finalize Your Dream Home Design
December 4, 2020 in Real Estate by Brionna Kennedy
Your dream home's designing process is a critical and demanding stage that eventually brings your vision to reality. Before finalizing your dream home design, there are steps to take to ensure your expectations are met.
Find a Home Site
Land to build your dream house is a critical aspect. Land surveying is essential to determine the kind of area you want. You may want to erect your home near a beach while another in a hilly place. Hire real estate professionals to explain to them the kind of environment you want to build your home to get assistance in the search. Services from these professionals are faster and time-saving.
Get an Experienced Designer
A professional and experienced designer can bring your dream house into a reality. Give the designer all the details you want for your house to come up with the best design. A professional designer will advise and add more details to your work if need be to ensure you get the best. When selecting one, ask for credentials and designs the designer has done before. This information will help you determine whether the designer is fit for the job.
Considering your home needs can help you come up with a well-designed dream house. Have a wish list of what you would want to see in and around your home. For example, you may want a library, deck, or swimming pool. If you have a family, ask for their contribution for everyone to live comfortably.
Building your dream house needs financial discipline to save enough money for the project. You also need a budget to help you determine the cost of the project. Civil engineers, architects, and other building professionals can guide you in coming up with an accurate budget. There are other sources of financing your dream house if you don't have enough savings.
Create a House Design
Your designer will create a house design. Be involved in the process to get the design of your preference. Give suggestions on the changes you would want to see on the final design. Take time and brainstorm on the changes because once the building is constructed, it may be challenging to make changes.
Get a Blueprint
A blueprint highlights the designs and the patterns to be followed when building. It acts as a guide to builders to implement the house design on the ground. It is also used to get a building permit. Before starting the building, you need consent to build and planning permission. The highlighted points will help you develop the best dream house design you will love when implemented.
You are likely anxious to move into your dream home, but make sure you follow the correct steps first. This will prevent headaches down the road.

Children enjoy the opening of the Formiga development training centre in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 3, 2015 - The first of two FIVB-backed development training centres was opened in Morro da Formiga, Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday with FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° joining children on a great day of volleyball and fun for the local community.
The #VolleyballYourWay Viva Vôlei Training Centre in the favela neighbourhood of Formiga is part of the International Volleyball Federation's commitment to leaving a sustainable legacy in Rio de Janeiro after the Olympics.
President Graça said: "One thing I am very proud about is to make this programme of Viva Vôlei that we have in 13 states in Brazil - without any government money - and we have more than 200,000 children in poor communities participating. When we come to a community, the most important thing is to motivate, to stimulate the children to go to school and to study. Because if they don't study, they don't play volleyball."
Champions for Peace ambassador Pedro Young and President Graça at the #VolleyballYourWay Viva Vôlei Training Centre in Formiga
The centre in Formiga, which the FIVB will be partly
funding up until 2020, is part of the successful Viva Vôlei programme launched by the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV) in 1999. Its key objective is to use volleyball as a vehicle to educate and socialise children from low-income communities throughout Brazil and promote integration and social inclusion.
IOC Athletes' Commission Member and Peace and Sport ambassador Pedro Young said: "When you have these programmes, especially in the poorer areas, where kids don't have many good opportunities, sport gives them a tool to leave bad influences behind and build a better future."
President Graça discusses volleyball with the children in Formiga
Vinicius, one of the children at the centre's opening on Tuesday, welcomed the programme: "Volleyball is a team sport and brings a lot of kids together to play. It's an opportunity that you have to take advantage of. Get it and never let go."
More than 600 children will participate in the programme as the FIVB looks to inspire the next generation of Brazilians to take up volleyball.
President Graça added: "Volleyball is the sport of peace. Everybody can play - young, women, men, old people. Because there is a net in the middle, there is no contact, there is no struggle, there is no fighting. Which is why we are the sport of the family and the sport of peace."
A second training centre will be opened in Forte do Leme on Thursday.

You are here: Home>Police History>Police Officers>Rowlingson, Hermon, 274 and 98, Police Constable.
Paul Watts with thanks to Kitty Moores
Hermon Rowlingson 1915
Herts Police Hiistorical Society
Hermon Rowlingson was born on the 15th June 1891 at West Wickham, Cambridgeshire.
His father, George William Rowlingson an agricultural labourer, married his mother, Eliza Ann Ward, in 1876 at Cambridge. According to the 1911 census they had eleven children although only details for ten have been identified:
1. Frederick born in 1876 at Cambridge.
2. Oliver born in 1877 at Chesterton.
3. Charles a twin born in 1880 at Chesterton died in 1894 at West Wickham.
4. Amelia a twin born in 1880 at Chesterton.
5. Ernest born in 1882 at Chesterton.
6. Leonard born in 1885 at West Wickham.
7. Grace Sabina born in 1887 at West Wickham.
8. Harold born in 1889 at West Wickham.
9. Hermon.
10. Soloman born in 1893 at West Wickham, a Metropolitan Police Constable who enlisted on the 9th June 1918 as Private 2952 in the Guards Machine Gun Regiment.
During the 1881 census the family were recorded as living at Bermuda Row, Histon Road, Chesterton, Cambridgeshire.
During the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census returns the family were listed as living near the Vicarage in West Wickham, Linton, Cambridgeshire. However, in 1911 Hermon, who was employed as a domestic gardener, was recorded as living with his brother Ernest and his wife at Church Cottages, Gilston Harlow, Eastwick, Hertfordshire.
Nothing more is known about Hermon's life during the following three years until he applied to join the Hertford County Constabulary, following the recruitment drive to replace all the Police Army reservists who had been recalled on the 4th August 1914.
Hermon's Police Service Record has not survived but from other sources we know he was Appointed as Police Constable 274 on the 18th November 1914. He would have under gone his Probationary Training at Police Headquarters at Hatfield.
General Order 14 of the 21st January 1915 announced that 22 recruit Constables having been brought onto the Roster for duty were all being transferred on the 22nd October 1915 from Headquarters for duty at various stations. Hermon was posted to G Division at Harpenden. His entry was accompanied by the comment "W.R.D. augmentation" which refers to the increase in the number of Constables that were needed to implement the Weekly Rest Day. An explanation of the Weekly Rest Day can be found in the post entitled Authorised Establishment in The Great War category. Nearly all of these 22 men were later to enlist themselves.
General Order 98 of the 9th June 1915 was entitled The Police Constable (Naval and Military Service) Act 1914 Police (Emergency Provisions) Act 1915:
The undermentioned Police Constable's being desirous in enlisting in H.M. Army for the period of the War, the Deputy Chief Constable hereby gives the necessary consent, as required by the above Acts:
1. PC 10 Elkins E. A Division
2. PC 120 Day A.T. B Division
3. PC 285 Sirett B Division
4. PC 319 Potter C. C Division
5. PC 133 Mansfield A. C Division
6. PC 145 Abbiss F.W. C Division
7. PC 84 Manton W.E. C Division
8. PC 313 Quarrie H.H. C Division
9. PC 301 Allen G.A. C Division
10. PC 217 Lake O. C Division

16. PC 93 Potton F. G Division
17. PC 274 Rowlingson H. G Division
18. PC 321 Reid N. G Division
The Constables will be permitted to join the Army at once and will paid up to and including the date prior to that on which they commence to draw Army pay.
The Superintendents concerned will report to Headquarters the date on which the Constables are enlisted in the Army, and the Constables will be struck off the strength of the establishment of the Force as from that date.
Published on the 19th June 1915 in the Herts Advertiser under the headline Police Constables With The Colours:
General Order 118 of the 21st July 1915 is a list of 96 officers which included the Chief Constable, 43 Constables who were Army reservists who were recalled and 50 Constables and 2 Sergeants who volunteered for military service. Hermon is shown as PC 274 Rowlingson H. G Division who enlisted in the Hertfordshire Yeomanry on the 15th June 1915.
Hermon's Army Service Record has not survived but from his Medal Roll Index Card and Medal Rolls we know the following: Hermon Rowlingson joined the Hertfordshire Yeomanry as Private 2537 (later 105799 under re-organisation) and landed with them on the 16th November 1915 in the theatre of war 2B the Balkan Theatre, Gallipoli and Aegean Islands. He was awarded the 1914-15 Star and the British War and Victory medals.
He was one of 23 Hertfordshire Police Officers who joined the Hertfordshire Yeomanry who posed for a photograph in 1915 believed at Colchester. The officers were:
1. PC 308 F. Clarke
2. PC 93. F. Potton
3. PC 189 J.W. Clark
4. PC 312 D.E. Cattermole
5. PC 285 G.H. Sirett
6. PC 105 H.M. Armitage
7. PC 313 H.H. Quarrie
8. PC 120 A.T. Day
9. PC 315 W.J. Thurley
10. PC 10 E.A.V. Elkins
11. PC 35 A.W. Reid
12. PS 20 H. Wright
13. PC 233 W.J. Bethell
14. PC 121 F.W.E. Perry
15. PC 274 H. Rowlingson
16. PC 19 H.W. Carder
17. PC 217 O.V. Lake
18. PC 316 A.S. Brown
19. PC 305 G. Archer
20. PC 301 G.A. Allen
21. PC 7 A.G. Capon
22. PC 321 N.J. Reid
23. PC 314 A.W. Corne
The photo included a regular Army Sergeant Jeffrey Arthur Riches who was an instructor.
Like every other soldier when he was demobilised Hermon would have been granted 28 days leave. He would have used this time to arrange his re-joining of the Police. Part of this process would have involved him undergoing a medical examination to determine whether he was still fit enough for Police duties. The end of his period of leave would have coincided with the date of his re-appointment to the Police.
General Order 74 of the 21st March 1919 announced the re-appointments to the Force of five Police Soldiers who had been released from H.M. Army. Horace was shown as PC 98 Rowlingson H. posted to G Division at Harpenden from the 27th March 1919 at £2/7/0 per week. Each officer had to be formally re-attested. The Superintendents concerned had to report when this had been done showing the date and place of attestation and before whom taken. Horace was re-Attested the same day.
Something of note in this Order is the change in his Warrant or Collar Number from 274 to 98. Prior to the outbreak of war, it was fairly common to issue the same Warrant Number to more than one individual providing they were posted to different Divisions so that the Divisional letter would differentiate between them. No record of an Order instructing that this should end and that Warrant Numbers should become unique has been found, but it was obviously issued simply by the fact of the number of returning Constables who were not given their old number, as someone else was already using it, and were issued with a new one.
His period of Army Service from the 15th June 1915 to the 26th March 1919 was deemed to count as Police Service for pension purposes Vide Standing Joint Committee Resolution 35 dated the 9th October 1914.
Unfit For Further Service.
There is no record of Hermon having been re-Attested or even that he actually resumed duty albeit his medical exam was a month after his re-appointment. The following explains why:
General Order 140 of the 29th June 1919 – The Chief Constable regrets to announce that on demobilisation from H.M. Army, the undermentioned Police Officers have been certified by the Constabulary Staff Surgeon to be unfit for further Police Services:
1. PC 233 Bethell W.J. G Division Medical Examination 11/05/1919
2. PC 321 Reid N.J. G Division Medical Examination 10/04/1919
3. PC 98 Rowlingson H. G Division Medical Examination 28/04/1919
No explanation has survived as to what made any of these Officers unfit for duty but, co-incidentally, all three men had originally enlisted in the Hertfordshire Yeomanry.
General Order 141 of the 29th June 1919 announced the award of Disablement Pensions: Subject to any Pensions granted from Army Funds, Disablement Pensions have been awarded to the undermentioned Police Constables:
1. PC 233 Bethell W.J. 18 Years' Service. £75/18/4 yearly from 12/05/1919
2. PC 321 Reid N.J. 4 Years' Service. £49/0/3 yearly from 11/04/1919
3. PC 98 Rowlingson H. 4 Years' Service. £49/0/3 yearly from 26/06/1919
The Electoral Rolls of 1919 to 1921 lists Hermon Rowlingson as living at Burton End, West Wickham with his mother Eliza and brothers Frederick, Harold and Soloman.
Re-joining Briefly.
Whatever the medical reason was for Hermon to be declared unfit for further Police duty in 1919 his condition had apparently improved enough by 1922 that he was re-appointed. However, as can be seen in the following Order his resumed career was very short lived.
General Order 8 of the 13th January 1922 Resignation
Probationer Hermon Rowlingson R Division having submitted on 10th January 1922 an application to be permitted to resign his appointment the resignation is accepted and will take effect on 18th January 1922 his name being struck off the strength of the Force as from that date.
Hermon married Kate Gibson on the 22nd September 1923 at Little Massingham, Norfolk, there is no record of them having any children.
In the 1939 Register Hermon, recorded as a Head Gardener, his wife Kate and his sister Grace were listed as living at 107, Fallowfield Estate, Cambridge.
Hermon Rowlingson died in 1972 at Cambridge.
