Alienating social conservatives: The real reason Danielle Smith lost Alberta
Interesting thesis:
Was fear of social conservatism the only possible explanation for the meltdown? Does this hypothesis make sense for the most 'small-c' conservative province in Canada? Does this theory (which by the way is not grounded in exit polling data but mere conjecture) make sense for what has been called part of "Canada's Bible Belt"?
There is a more likely explanation for the meltdown, but one which the mainstream media is loath to acknowledge. Polling data suggests that Danielle Smith seriously alienated her natural base of social conservative and religious voters when she began to publicly reject pro-life and pro-family views in early April and ultimately announced, "I'm pro-choice and pro-gay marriage" on April 10th. It was a slap in the face to traditional values voters. Many so-cons probably decided then that since the Wildrose party would not provide a home for them, they in turn, would stay home on voting day, or even to vote for the devil they knew.
If you combine that with a higher voter turnout, that could explain the loss.
Did any Alberta so-cons out there decide to stay home on election day because of this? Did anyone decide not to volunteer to get out the vote?
It is a bit ridiculously to say that social conservatism killed the election when Alberta regularly sends so-con MP's to Ottawa.
Danielle Smith should have learned a lesson from Rob Ford's campaign for Mayor of Toronto. As a candidate, Ford was similarly attacked in 2010 by his pro-homosexual opponents and the pro-homosexual media, over his belief in the traditional definition of marriage. The contempt they poured out on him was vitriolic. But unlike Smith, Ford did not react by apologizing for his principles, or by appearing to run away from them. That would have deflated his critical base of so-con support and quite possibly cost him the election.
Instead, he very calmly and simply responded "I support traditional marriage. I always have". When the media kept badgering him, he very consistently repeated it calmly and unapologetically. In the end, Ford confounded all his critics and won the election by a large margin, defeating the openly-homosexual George Smitherman who was a media darling.
In other words, he didn't panic.
Here's the point that Smith didn't get. In order to lead a small-c conservative movement to victory, you need the social conservative branch of that movement to show up at the ballot box (even if you don't agree with them). By alienating 'values voters', demoralizing them, and causing them to stay home on Election Day, it's very difficult to win.
The thing, Stephen Harper alienates so-cons all the time, and he has a majority government.
I think people will vote in so-cons as long as they're not "scary". Rob Ford is not scary. Federal so-con MP's are not scary. The guy who said gays will burn in a lake of fire was branded as "scary." The guy who said whites had an advantage (which any socialist would admit is true) was scary.
There are scary so-cons and non-scary so-cons. Just like there are scary social liberals and non-scary social liberals.

EastEnders' Danny Dyer is clearly in touch with his emotions, as he is crying "every night" while his daughter Dani is away from home taking part in Love Island.
Danny's wife Jo Mas made the revelation during an appearance on spin-off show Aftersun last night (July 15), admitting that he's also "a bit jealous" of the fun Dani is having.
"I think he's a bit jealous, he does cry a lot. Every night," Jo told Caroline Flack. "He really misses her."
As for Dani's new boyfriend, it seems he's earned the all-important mum-approval, with Jo adding: "I like Jack [Fincham]. I trust him yeah. I think he's caring for Dani, I think he's got her back."
Asked if she's seen Dani this happy in a relationship before, she said: "Yes I have, but I've not actually been a part of her progressing, so it's weird. She's really happy.
"She's got her morals. She knows she doesn't need to use her body in any relationship because she's got a personality."
Despite the fact that Dani and Jack are the show's golden couple, viewers aren't best pleased with them for betraying Charlie Brake's secret.
Charlie confided in Jack that his family sold a huge food business in the past and have a multi-million pound fortune as a result.
But, admitting that he worries his financial situation can attract women for the wrong reasons, he asked Jack to keep the news under his hat.
Love Island continues tonight (July 16) at 9pm on ITV2.

Indiana Orders State-Licensed Casinos, Tracks to Close by Monday, Tribal Four Winds Plans to Remain Open
Posted on: March 14, 2020, 09:20h.
Last updated on: March 16, 2020, 09:34h.
Indiana became the latest state to close its casinos, when the state's regulatory body announced on Saturday that all gaming venues would close temporarily to help contain the spread of the coronavirus.

The move will affect the 10 state-licensed casinos, two racinos, and three off-track betting parlors. Technically, the state licenses 11 casinos, but the Majestic Star in Gary holds two of the licenses, since its gaming operations take place on two boats.
Based on changing circumstances and in the interest of public health, Indiana licensed gaming and racing operations will close for at least 14 days beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, March 16, 2020," a statement on the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) web site read. "The Indiana Gaming and Horse Racing Commissions will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as appropriate."
The IGC's order came a day after neighboring states Illinois and Ohio made similar moves. It also came two days after Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced "non-essential gatherings" in the state would need to be limited to no more than 250 people "in one room or a single space." While the directive did not specifically cite casinos, it did include churches, stadiums, auditoriums, conference rooms, and similar facilities.
"This is a time when we must do all we can to reduce the spread of COVID-19, protect our most vulnerable populations, and reduce their potential to acquire or spread this virus," said Gov. Holcomb. "While some actions are drastic, now, not later, is the time to act."
Tribal Four Winds Taking Precautions
While the state's casinos will abide by the state's order, the lone tribal casino in the Hoosier State plans to remain open.
WBND-TV in South Bend reported that the Four Winds Casino in the northern Indiana city plans to remain open on Monday. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians operate the casino along with three others in Michigan.
In a letter to casino patrons on the casino's web site, Four Winds COO Frank Freedman said the casinos are taking extra measures to protect customers. That includes more frequent "cleaning and disinfecting," especially in public areas, around slot machines, and by ATMs.
"As concern regarding the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States has increased, your health and safety remains our top priority," Freedman said. "As a guest of Four Winds Casinos, we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring reports by the Centers for Disease Control."
In addition to monitoring the CDC, tribal officials are staying in contact with state and local health officials.
Four Winds is a Class II casino that offers only slots and live poker. There have been negotiations with the state to establish a tribal compact that would allow the casino to offer Class III gaming, which would enable them to host a sportsbook and hold other table games.
Closure Comes During Busy Time
Casino gaming is a revenue provider for the state. According to the monthly report released earlier this week, the state-licensed casinos generated nearly $60.5 million in taxes in February.
For the fiscal year, which started last July, the casinos have produced $363.7 million in taxes.
In the 2019 fiscal year, the casinos generated $590.8 million in taxes, with $443.2 million directed to the state's general fund. Those taxes account for about 2.7 percent of the state's revenues, which totaled $16.41 billion, for the year. According to the IGC's 2019 Annual Report, March was the biggest month for wagering and supplemental taxes the past two fiscal years.
Before the order was announced, the casinos were already bracing to take a hit due to the NCAA's decision to cancel its men's college basketball tournament. Casinos anticipated March Madness would give them a boost, especially since the state legalized sports betting last year. Several casinos were planning major events to attract patrons to watch games at their venues during the three-week event.
Since sports betting started in Indiana last September, Hoosiers and those from neighboring states have wagered $777.5 million on football, basketball, other approved athletic events, and the Academy Awards.
The sportsbooks have generated $6.2 million in taxes in their first five months of operation.

they have hundreds of non Indian employees and suppliers that count on them for a living. They are monitoring the cases in the area and will close if the virus increases in their area. As for the small pox the Indians got their revenge by giving you tobacco and you are still dying by the thousands every year.
Scott Muciek March 15, 2020
If the four winds casino remains open. We all should boycott them. They obviously are putting profits over the safety of their patrons. Maybe this will be their way to get even for the chicken pox infected blankets. Remember, if they refuse to close, boycott.

Six days later and she's left the party (photo: Facebook/Mette Theisen)
November 8th, 2022 12:54 pm| by Christian W
Election night for Nye Borgerlige (NB) was supposed to be a joyful event.
The right-wing party had gone up 3.7 percentage points compared to the previous general election and held six mandates in Parliament.
Then … the lort hit the fan.
Now, just six days after the election, NB stands to lose one of its mandates following Mette Thiesen's decision to leave the party and become an independent.
READ ALSO: Record number of women elected to Parliament
From votes to violence
It all began on election night when a man was escorted out of the party's election event after throwing beer in the face of another guest live on camera (see video in link).
Days later, it emerged that the man who was escorted away was the partner of Mette Thiesen, who had just won election to Parliament again.
Then it surfaced that Thiesen's partner had knocked a man down at the event and sent him to the hospital. That man, it turned out, had previously been in a relationship with Thiesen.
Apparently, Thiesen's partner had threatened the man before – even accosting him in his office in Christiansborg – and she had been told he was not welcome at NB events.
Despite that, Theisen brought him along to the election event – a decision that she says she regrets.

Keeping the mandate
NB boss Pernille Vermund has stated that the party was due to meet to discuss Theisen's future with the party after she refused to "take responsibility for solving the problem".
But before that could happen Theisen announced that she had left the party and become an independent … taking NB's mandate with her, much to Vermund's chagrin.
"I think it's a shame and dishonourable to the NB voters who voted for her just a week ago on our party list," Vermund wrote in a party newsletter.
According to one expert, Aarhus University professor Helene Helboe Pedersen, Theisen's departure is the quickest following an election in history.
She received 4,357 personal votes in the election last week.


A Bugatti automobile was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace, France by Ettore Bugatti. The brand was well known for classy design. After the death of the founder in 1947 and his son's in 1939 the company was struggling financial crisis and now days it is adopted by German Company Volkswagen since 1998.
It mainly focuses on the design and patterns of the car and also got success in Grand Prix racing by Type35 Grand Prix cars, Type41 Royale, Type57 Atlantic and Type 55 racing cars. Bugatti's first concept car EB118 has featured a 408 kilowatt, W-18 engine and in 1999 its next concept EB 218 introduced at Geneva Motor Show.


The report details how Dual Language Learners (DLLs) in superdiverse settings (i.e. local, state, and national levels), exemplify the importance of recognizing diversity beyond a standard dual-language program. For example, "considerable diversity can also be seen within DLL subgroups. Black immigrant parents of DLLs come from a wide variety of African and Caribbean countries and speak many different languages, with important implications for programs that serve the Black child population as well as those that target DLLs." There is risk in oversimplifying who DLLs are. Language instruction programs designed to serve DLLs may assume that children from Mexico and Central America speak Spanish, when in fact these children may only speak indigenous languages.
Effective DLBE leaders are knowledgeable about bilingualism and biliteracy and about their school's emergent bilingual population. They set a clear vision for the success of all students and recognize the critical importance of close school-parent-community partnerships. Effective leaders also focus on the power of distributed leadership with social justice as a central goal.
Dr. Menken highlights that, while effective leaders are indispensable, the network of administrators, teacher leaders, family are just as important to the success of DLBE programs. TWIN-CS educators are part a network of like-minded individuals who share in the aspiration to better the experiences of DLLs. Always striving toward progress, members of TWIN-CS connect on a bi-monthly basis in order to recognize and discuss opportunities to improve the experiences of DLLs. As members of a community who wish to facilitate a multicultural, multilingual education for all students, we must continue to discuss ways to improve how we approach dual language learning.
These two published works detail concrete solutions to common issues found in dual language programs. Here at TWIN-CS, we hope to share more applicable research on this blog as dual language programs can always be enriched with knowledgeable teachers and staff!
On February 16th 2018, Chinese New Year, two schools from within TWIN-CS community resumed their pen-pal video conferencing!
Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Academy, located in New York, teaches both English and Mandarin, while Saint Leo the Great Catholic School, located in Texas, teaches both English and Spanish.
In celebration of Chinese New Year, kindergartners and 3rd graders from New York sang songs in Mandarin to their friends in Texas, with some students even breaching their bilingual barrier and wishing their friends Happy New Year in Spanish. Meanwhile, students from Texas taught their friends colors, days of the week, and fun facts about themselves all in Spanish (even a lesson on the different types of dinosaurs). Each group of children recited what their friends were teaching them, actively learning the vocabulary being shared from across the country.
Qianqian Zhang-Wu, a doctoral candidate at Boston College Lynch School of Education and fellow graduate researcher at the Roche Center, organizes these national pen-pal sessions with our Assistant Director for TWIN-CS, Mary Bridget Burns.
TWIN-CS's mission is to provide a substantial linguistic education while promoting cross-cultural tolerance and enlightenment; these pen-pal sessions not only give prominence to our progress in this domain, but manifest the very nature of multicultural education!
Follow the blog to hear more about these sessions and to hopefully see their expansion into other schools!
There are 14.6 million Catholic school-age children in the United States with roughly 1.9 million of those children enrolled in Catholic schools; however, of the 14.6 million children, 8 million children are Hispanic, and yet, in the 2016-2017 school year, only 315,610 students enrolled.
Dr. Hosffman Ospino, associate professor of theology and religious education at Boston College, recently published two articles regarding Catholic education for Hispanic families: The imperative of educating Hispanic children in Catholic schools and Embracing Hispanics in our Catholic schools. Both wonderfully written, the former discusses the opportunities Catholic schools provide for Hispanic children, while the latter details the best way to outreach to the Hispanic Catholic community and exemplifies the benefits of including this community in our Catholic schools.
Welcoming more members of the Hispanic community into parochial schools will bolster the number of children who will finish high school and continue onto college. The Church needs more Hispanic leaders and by making parochial schools accessible to Hispanic families, we just might accomplish this endeavor.
In his articles, Dr. Ospino details a possible solution by enumerating the best ways to include the Hispanic population in the Church: active outreach to Hispanic communities; understanding that Hispanic, Latinx, and immigrant populations have different needs and concerns regarding Catholic education; and that change starts at the top, meaning that we need more Hispanic teachers and administrators who will provide an environment more conducive to learning.
Thank you, Dr. Ospino, for such high praise! Keep following the blog to hear about more faculty publications and interviews.
Jack Davern, principal of Elon Elementary School in North Carolina, recently published an EdWeek article detailing his own experience with a language-immersion program at his school. Principal Davern's own son is a student at Elon and currently is more fluent in Spanish than his dad.
"One day, we encountered an anxious parent who spoke to me in Spanish. I asked my son, who knows much more Spanish than I do, to translate.
"Oh, yeah, I can do that," my son replied. At 7 years old, he listened, figured out that the man was looking for a school event, and told him he had arrived one day early. The man gestured to my son and said, "Whoa, muy bueno! You papa?" I nodded yes with a proud smile."
In this moment, Principal Davern saw the long-term and important benefits of his son's two-way immersion education in action. Empirical research has demonstrated that learning two languages can influence a student's proficiency in critical thinking, interpretive readings, and improves overall cognitive function; furthermore, students that undertake a bilingual education develop stronger cross-cultural sensitivity and relationships.
Young Davern's experience shows the benefits for one's daily life: he was able to be compassionate, helpful, and kind. "Teachers who work with Spanish-immersion students…report an increased level of acceptance of differences. When students encounter classmates' rituals or views that are unfamiliar to them, they'll ask, "Is that a tradition in your family?" rather than assuming the unfamiliarity is strange or wrong." This acceptance of other worldly views or traditions exemplifies TWIN-CS's mission for global tolerance.
The hope, as Principal Davern reiterates, is for a "wider world," a world in which we learn to understand each other despite cultural and linguistic differences. The community which we here at TWIN-CS wish to nurture and sustain is the very same. Follow the blog for more inspirational stories from teachers around the globe!
- A small bookstore with big ambition recently caught our attention here at the Roche Center and TWIN-CS. Located in Rome, Italy The Little Reader is una libreria, a library, in which children of all ages can attend bilingual classes.
Classes are designated by age group and come in a wide range of activities: story-time lessons which are conducted entirely in English with native Italian speakers, nursery rhymes sessions which are recited in English with the children, even lessons during which traditionally English songs are sung with the children! After school, elementary and middle school children can participate in English reading classes through interactive games, creative activities, and fun quizzes!
It is important to note that English language knowledge is not a prerequisite for these classes. Instead, the staff would like the students to enjoy the lessons and learn as they go. Speaking in Italian during these lessons is not prohibited either – bilingualism is encouraged!
The library also contains a multitude of books in both Italian and English, providing all who join an opportunity to expand their linguistic and cultural knowledge.
As members of TWIN-CS, we understand the importance of recognizing and appreciating other languages and cultures, just as the staff of The Little Reader acknowledges the importance of tolerance and learning about other cultures via reading and oral presentations. Opening our eyes to other languages allows us to see beyond our monolinguistic and monocultural perspectives; in fact, by drawing on the other resources these languages (Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, etc.) provide, we can discover new connotations and values in all types of learning, whether it be through a novel, a nursery rhyme, or an everyday occurrence in which cross-cultural understanding is essential.
We at TWIN-CS welcome the type of bilingual learning that The Little Reader intends to bring to light and hope to see more such libraries for many languages!
Ai nostri amici di The Little Reader, buona fortuna con le sue lezioni!
Bridget Yaden, PhD, professor and department chair at Pacific Lutheran University and mentor at our Holy Rosary School in Tacoma, WA., was kind enough to share a few images of her 3-5th grade students completing AAPPL writing and reading assessments in Spanish.
AAPPL assessments are scored through four categories: interpretive reading, interpretive writing, interpersonal speaking and listening, and presentational writing. Because students in TWI programs are encouraged to engage in interpersonal relationships (TWIN-CS teachers foster relationships between native English and native foreign language speakers to promote learning from each other) and because they are immersed in both languages with an equal attention to all subjects including writing and reading, TWIN-CS students score well on these assessments.
Furthermore, a recent comprehensive study regarding dual-language immersion programs develops and expounds upon our statement that these specific programs have long-wielding results: "…we have evidence that a dual language immersion classroom approach directly correlates with greater education achievement." Fitting in with TWIN-CS aspirations, two-language immersion classrooms prove time and time again that they accomplish academic excellence, long-term academic results, and, importantly, cultural tolerance.
As a proponent of the TWIN-CS program, Professor Yaden will be attending the NABE Conference in March of this year. Follow the blog to hear about her experience and learn more about the impact of TWIN-CS!

Q: Do prepared statements give a performance advantage when running multiple times with similar parameters? I've used prepared statements (MySQL & PHP) for many years, but only with an eye to being safe against SQL injection.  I've never re-used a prepared statement, I've always built them up every single time I want something back from the database.
I currently have a query that runs inside a loop.  Each iteration of the loop I build the SQL string, prepare the query, and execute it with the relevant value for the bound parameter.
Someone mentioned that if I instead prepared the query outside of the loop, and inside the loop only bound the new parameter value and executed it, I'd see a performance increase.  And not just the nanoseconds that you'd expect from not having to build a string up each loop.
But I ran a test, and I didn't seem to.
Should I have?
I'm talking about MySQL/MariaDB.  He uses SQL Server.

A: Reusing a prepared statement saves your the SQL parsing and compilation overhead. For simple statements it is quite small, so it wouldn't be surprising to not see much improvement on a lightly loaded system with simple statements being executed.

Nintendo Switch vs Xbox One
With competition between developers who are very strict, there are just new games being released every day. Of course this makes gamers should also increasingly supplementing game collection.

Hardware and Storage
Nintendo Switches are very different from rivals in hardware terms. Without getting too far into the specs, it has a mobile processing architecture from Nvidia that heavily modified the Tegra X 1 chipset, while the Xbox console one all opts for more conventional computing power. One Xbox has a physical disk drive, with a single Xbox console that can even play 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. Weirdly, Sony, even as a founding member of the Blu-ray Disc Association, decided not to add a 4K deck to the latest consoles. They are still capable of playing conventional 1080p Blu-rays, however. The Nintendo switch can do no. Japanese companies have opted to issue with discs altogether, with games coming on the reverse cartridge, much like the 3DS and Nintendo consoles of yore.
- One player can use a Joy-Con in each hand
- Two players can each take one
- Multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options (additional Joy-Con sold separately)
- Slip a set of Joy-Con into a Joy-Con grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
- This item includes the Xbox One console, 1 wireless controller, HDMI cable, and power supply
- The best exclusive games, the most advanced multiplayer, and unique entertainment experiences
- Play games like Titanfall and Halo on a network powered by over 300,000 servers for maximum performance
- The most advanced multiplayer on Xbox Live with Smart Match to find new challengers
When it comes to quantity of games, the Xbox One console clearly win hands down thanks to being around for more than several years apiece. The Nintendo Switch is only just starting its life cycle. But the Switch's line-up is expanding at a wide and rapid pace, and the confirmed games list for the rest of 2017 is actually looking healthy. More than 100 games are coming before the end of 2017.

Re: Falling In Reverse-Alone
I don't mind Falling In Reverse, but I couldn't finish the song. To me it had no substance, especially lyrically. They seem to be singing about something personal to the vocalist, which is fine, but I couldn't relate to it.

So, he's released two more singles that are much better than alone by a long shot.
Cressel
Much, much better. It's good to know that they're doing what they should even if they have that one song around there. I guess they released it first cause it was the "diferent" song around.
There's also a song called "Rolling stone" around live videos of them. It's really good but it has this rap bit that ruins it for a moment, or more than the rap there is some kind of techno breakdown that just doesn't fit in imo.
Here's the link: Falling In Reverse - Rolling Stone (High Quality) - YouTube

Not a fan of Champion, but Fashionably late and bad girls club were surprisingly catchy and awesome. Rolling stone wasn't bad either.
I like It's Over When It's Over. It reminded me of the song Cellar Door by ETF.

He's pretty self-absorbed, which makes some songs hard to listen to. There are some I enjoy, though.

Voyager Disaster Remembered
On the night of 10th February 1964 the RAN's flagship and only operational aircraft carrier HMAS MELBOURNE collided with the Daring Class destroyer HMAS VOYAGER.
At the time of the accident LCDR 'Toz' Dadswell, the Commanding Officer of 816 Squadron operating Fairey Gannet twin engine ASW aircraft, was approaching the carrier in preparation for deck landing practice. Thirty four years later CDRE Dadswell wrote the following article for the RAN Flight Safety Magazine 'Touchdown'. It is reproduced here in memory of the eighty-two men who lost their lives in that dreadful event over 50 years ago.
In February 1964 I was Commanding Officer, 816 Squadron. A very short work-up with MELBOURNE was planned, but as the majority of the squadron pilots were 'old hands' I wasn't too worried. The work-up commenced on Friday 7th and it was intended that the Squadrons would embark on Wednesday 12th. The only pilot who didn't have deck landing experience was LEUT David Farthing, so I took David out to the ship in the Observer's seat on Friday 7th to give him a look at the deck and to experience an arrested landing. On Saturday 8th the squadron did daytime arrested landings and catapult shots. There were no problems. Sunday was a day of rest and we started again on Monday 10th with more day arrests and cats. At times we would taxi forward into the parking area and shut down so that the flight deck crew could practice their drills of moving aircraft around the deck.
Night touch-and-goes (T & G) were planned for the night of the 10th. The program was:
HMAS Melbourne in company with HMAS Voyager and Vendetta.
Serial 1: 2000-2030 3 Gannets T&G
Serial 2: 2030-2100 2 Sea Venoms T&G
It was usual for a pilot to complete at least six satisfactory T & Gs in a half-hour session. My senior pilot, LEUT Ray Morritt, led the first sortie of three Gannets. They carried out a successful session although the ship had trouble finding any surface wind. I spoke to Ray on the aircraft line after he had landed and as I was pre-flighting my aircraft for Serial 3. I clearly remember him saying, 'They are having trouble finding a wind and its bloody dark out there'. He was right on both counts.
David Farthing was to fly the second aircraft in Serial 3. When we started engines David had a minor serviceability problem so I told him to see if the ground crew could fix it, and if they could, then come out to the ship independently. I took off at 2040 and over Jervis Bay I passed the two Venoms from Serial 2 on their way back to ALBATROSS. They told me that their sortie had been cancelled due to a lack of wind.
Ray Morritt had been right; it was 'bloody dark'; however, because of the darkness it was easy to spot the lights of MELBOURNE from our departure point over Point Perpendicular. She was about twenty miles away to the southeast. After clearing the coast I changed channels and called the ship. LCDR Gordon McPhee, Lieutenant Commander (Flying) answered and advised that the ship was searching for wind. A short time later Gordon called and advised that the flying course would be 020 and my Charlie time (land-on time) was 2100. My task was then to position my aircraft to join the circuit, fly past the starboard side of the ship at 400 ft, turn down wind and make a final approach so that the wheels hit the deck at 2100.
The fateful Collision
I approached the ship from the port quarter in a descending turn. I noted that VOYAGER was not in the correct RESDES (Rescue Destroyer) position and mentioned this to my observer LEUT Barry Henry. Then at 2056 a huge ball of flame lit the sky. It was the boiler room of VOYAGER exploding. I levelled out and remarked to Barry, 'MELBOURNE's collected VOYAGER'. (There was a crude exclamation preceding the remark but the Royal Commissioner decided that it was best forgotten.) Gordon McPhee called and advised me to conserve fuel as there was a problem. A master understatement!
As a result of the collision MELBOURNE had lost a number of aerials which had been lowered to the horizontal position for flying, so the ship asked me to activate the rescue services at Nowra. I switched channels and advised Nowra that there was an emergency and to send all available helicopters to the scene and to also sail the search and rescue craft from Jervis Bay. I did not mention the collision as I knew there were people who monitored our frequencies in the hope they would get a story to sell to the media. ALBATROSS, without knowing what had actually happened, reacted immediately.
It was an outstanding effort by the helicopter squadrons and in a very short time helicopters were over the accident area. In fact at one stage there were probably too many aircraft in the one small area. I remained over the area for the best part of an hour passing messages from ship to shore. I landed at ALBATROSS at 2205 and reported to ALBATROSS's Commanding Officer, Captain Mesley, in the tower. The entire air station was a hive of activity. In the early hours of the morning of the 11th the acting Minister for the Navy, Dr Forbes and RADM Becher, the Fleet Commander arrived by aircraft from Canberra. They were briefed and then transferred to MELBOURNE by helo.

At first light the fixed wing squadrons had aircraft in the area and we continued to fly all through the day in the hope of finding survivors. The helicopters were also searching. The weather was very calm but the oil slick and the wreckage was moving southeast at a remarkable rate. My log book shows I spent over six hours searching that day and other aircrew would have done more than that. It was a long 24 hours. The maintenance crews did a wonderful job to keep the maximum number of aircraft flying.
Although the MELBOURNE-VOYAGER collision was a dreadful disaster and had a major impact on the RAN and the country, I don't think it created any great problems for the Fleet Air Arm at the time. It was seen as a 'fishhead' ie, General Service, error. However, the MELBOURNE-EVANS collision in 1969 started people thinking and talking about the need for a carrier in view of the losses incurred.
After the VOYAGER collision I can't remember anyone questioning the value of having a carrier in the RAN, but after 1969 I can remember being asked if we really did need a carrier. People began to associate the carrier with calamity. There was an emotional issue introduced into the carrier debate.

The Square Pie Guys Are Opening A New Flagship Restaurant at Ghirardelli Square
Co-founders Danny Stoller and Marc Schechter are taking their Detroit-style pies to the San Francisco waterfront

Share All sharing options for: The Square Pie Guys Are Opening A New Flagship Restaurant at Ghirardelli Square
Albert Law
Just three years after launching as a pop-up down on Divisadero and one year after hitting the streets of Oakland, the Square Pie Guys are once again on the move, this time taking their smash-hit Detroit-style pies to San Francisco's iconic Ghirardelli Square. Co-founders Danny Stoller and Marc Schechter say they're hoping to debut what will become the restaurant's flagship location by this summer; it'll take over a waterfront space off Beach Street underneath McCormick & Schmick's.
The space previously housed a pub-type restaurant and gives the Square Pie Guys space for a parklet sitting right off the Bay. "We walked into the space and we were like, 'Holy crap, this is gorgeous," Stoller tells Eater SF. The duo was drawn to the square in large part because it's "one of many but not that many open outdoor gathering places in the city," he adds. The restaurant will join a growing number of local restaurants to debut at the well-known tourist destination in recent years including Palette Tea House, part of Koi Palace dim sum dynasty, and the second location of North Beach's Latin restaurant Barrio.
Courtesy Square Pie Guys
As far as the menu, there will be some new and yet-to-be-determined additions — and naturally, they're playing around with ways to infuse a bit of Ghirardelli goodness into the menu. There's the possibility of bringing back a decadent, fudge-y pizza cookie dessert that's made with the historic San Francisco company's chocolate, though Schechter says he's hesitant: "Part of me doesn't want to because I would eat it by the spoonful at the end of every night," he confesses.
But primarily, people will likely be drawn by the Square Pie Guy's signature pies, which are baked in "magical" pans, Schechter jokes, to achieve the perfect crispy bottoms and sides. They also make a point to spread the cheese all the way to the edges to facilitate that lacy, cheesy edge. Of course, they'll be bringing their popular chicken wings to the square, and fans can be assured the Square Pie Guys will continue the quarterly menu changes and celebrity collabs that have helped make the duo some of the biggest stars in the Bay Area's crowded pizza scene. Expect beer, cocktails, and wine on tap, too.
As they continue to expand, the pair say they're always keeping one eye on the quality of the pizza and continue to tinker with the dough to ensure it's just right. And while they say they're squarely focused on getting this third restaurant open, they're not ready to rule out the possibility of future locations down the line. "We're definitely excited to see how this one does and go from there," Stoller says.


The Cass Art Materials Grant came about as part of a partnership between Cass Art and Made in Arts London as a way to alleviate some of the challenges facing emerging artists today, and offered one University of the Arts London student the chance to receive £500 in materials support. With an understanding that affording materials can often hinder producing work for emerging artists, Cass Art decided to offer a bursary which would greatly benefit the recipient by alleviating some of the financial burden that comes with producing work.
We are thrilled to announce Stella Kapezanou as this year's lucky recipient of the Cass Art Materials Grant!
Stella Kapezanou's large-scale figuration paintings feature people from all walks of life. They show the fun of every day, the vulgarity of people and the imperfections of the body. Stella aims to critically explore the habits of people living in Western capitalist societies, exploring their belief systems and the emotional disconnect to their surroundings. Intrigued by subjects that are not considered 'high art' but are common to the viewer's eye, Stella hopes to capture the temporariness, decay and mortality of humans. Her compositions straddle a boundary between the real and the unreal, depicting scenes that never quiet occurred against ideal skies and the greenest lawns. The world is captured not as it appears, but as she perceives it. Most of all they are colourful, full of life and completely unapologetic.
Since joining MiAL, Stella has not only received the Cass Art material support, but she has also received the Clyde & Co Emerging Star Award, as well as exhibiting with MiAL in our annual collection showcase. Not to mention gaining a lot of interest in her work from external parties!
Stella was selected for the materials grant by our Activities Sabbatical Office, Leah Kahn, and our Education Sabbatical Officer, Hansika Jethnani at the Arts Students' Union.
To see Stella's work exhibited book your tickets for Affordable Art Fair Hampstead!
Made in Arts London are pleased to be back for the sixth year presenting an exhibition of emerging talent from University of the Arts London students and recent graduates. This year's artists, including Stella, have embraced the celebration of identity and the perception of persona. The collection explores the way we perceive and express ourselves, whether it's personal, cultural or community identity.
Alternatively, browse through Stella's collection of work on the Made in Arts London website.

Vanishing Spray Will Be Used in the UEFA Champions League
Published on 8 July, 2014
Vanishing spray, named 9:15 Fairplay after the amount of distance between the defensive wall and the free-kick taker, is making its way from the 2014 World Cup to the UEFA Champions League for the 2014-2015 season and could be heading to the Premier League after that. Having been considered a huge success in keeping the defensive wall at 10 feet during free kicks, inventor Heine Allegmagne confirmed that the spray will be used by UEFA referees as well in the upcoming season.
The spray was not always popular and according to Allegmagne some of the higher ups, including FIFA President Sepp Blatter, needed to be convinced that this was a problem that needed to be solved, "Some people needed convincing like them. Blatter was skeptical in the beginning but then realized this solved a football problem."
Allegmagne worked with a company to create the spray out of vegetable oil that disappears after one minute after hearing an announcer on the radio complain that defenders were encroaching the offense during free kicks, the referees also spray a half circle around the balls before they're kicked to make sure they stay in place.
The World Cup was not the first place the spray has been used, MLS and several leagues in Brazil and Argentina have been using it since 2000 and find it extremely helpful. Paul Rejer has expressed his support stating, "We find the vanishing spray to be extremely useful and very effective in ensuring the defenders are 10 yards from the ball," Rejer is the training and development manager for the Professional Referees Organization (PRO) the body that provides referees for MLS, NASL and USL PRO.
The referees chief for the Premier League, Mike Riley, is said to be assembling a report to help decide weather the League will supply their referees with vanishing spray which is said to cost about £3 per can.
The spray is considered popular among the players as well, Portuguese super star Cristiano Ronaldo spoke out in support of the spray saying, "I think it's a great idea, use a spray to mark the distance between the barrier and the kicker can be a great help."
With the spray being considered such a success at the World Cup and in MLS it is likely to become more widely used. With UEFA's Champions League next, it is likely we will see the vanishing spray being used in other leagues such as Serie A, La Liga and the Bundesliga in due time.

Central banks are starting to unwind the flurry of rate cuts in the first quarter of this year as the long-awaited tightening of U.S. monetary policy grows ever closer and the dampening effect on inflation begins to wane after last year's plunge in crude oil prices.
Earlier today, the Central Bank of Iceland became the fifth central bank to raise its key rate in June, the first month in 2015 that the number of central banks' tightening policy has outpaced the number of central banks that have cut their rates.
So far this month two central banks have cut rates - India and the Dominican Republic - while Bulgaria, Trinidad & Tobago, Brazil, Kenya and now Iceland have raised rates.
Year-to-date, 36 of the 90 central banks followed by Central Bank News have eased their monetary policy stance while 17 have tightened, most in response to inflationary pressures from a depreciation of their currencies against the U.S. dollar that has firmed in expectation of rising yields.
The first quarter of 2015 was characterized by a wave of rate cuts by central banks in advanced and emerging market economies in response to disinflation from lower oil prices, sluggish economic growth and the threat of deflation.
In the first three months of this year 26 central banks worldwide cut their rates while only 11 raised their rates. The Swiss National Bank's scrapping of its cap on the franc's exchange rate against the euro in January was the major monetary policy move of the quarter along with Denmark's successful fight to defend its fixed exchange rate, Canada's rate cut, Sweden's launch of quantitative easing and two unscheduled rate cuts by India's central bank.
The second quarter has been characterized by continued easing, for example by Australia, China and India, as 16 central banks so far have eased their policy while 10 have tightened policy.
But central banks are now starting to tighten their policy in anticipation of the Federal Reserve's first rate hike, which could lead to major shifts in capital flows and thus currency instability, and accelerating inflation as the global economic recovery continues and the statistical impact of the fall in oil prices drops out of comparison.
Following is an alphabetical list of countries that have changed their monetary policy this year. The list is updated and can be accessed on the Central Bank News' website under the heading of "Tighter or Easier" as soon as central banks announce changes to their policy.
Jun 10: key rates raised 50 bps as high wage increases, robust demand worsens inflation outlook. Further rate rise in August necessary.
Jun 2: repo rate cut 25 bps to 7.25% in a front-loaded move as inflation should fall further while capacity utilisation remains low and the economic recovery remains mixed with subdued investment and credit growth.

Богосавац је насеље у Србији у општини Шабац у Мачванском округу. Према попису из 2011. било је 1.117 становника. Веће фамилије које живе у Богосавцу су: Срнић, Маринковић, Вучетић, Јованић (Иванић). Након Другог светског рата основан је фудбалски клуб "Слога" који никада у својој историји није прекидао са радом, углавном се такмичећи у нижим општинским ранговима. Православна црква у Богосавцу изграђена је крајем осамдесетих година двадесетог века, прилозима мештана села, и посвећена је Блаженој Марији (Марија Магдалина). Становништво је православне вероисповести. Почетком Првог светског рата цивилно становништво је доста страдало, с обзиром да је село у близини Цера преко ког је дошао први налет окупатора у познатој Церској бици. У центру Богосавца налази се споменик Станиславу Сташку Сондермајеру, најмлађем хероју Церске битке.

Галерија

Према антропогеографским испитивањима 1947, 1948. и 1949. године "Шабачка Посавина и Поцерина" Војислава С. Радовановића, о селу Богосавац и пореклу његовог становништва, речено је следеће:

Село се дели на три мале: Грабичка мала према Маовима, Преки шор према Шапцу, Бело Поље ка Белој Реци, са два дела: Бело Поље је према Џилитовачи, а Мало Бело Поље ка Старом Богосавцу, званом још и Амбарине: били Амбари на Старом Богосавцу, где било село пре Марка Штитарца.

У средини, на раскрсници све три мале је "Пијац". Преслава сеоска Водена субота, прва по Васкрсу; овде скуп.

Пре шорења било је село "расељено" раштркано: Стари Богосавац и Кућишта на Збеговишту. Те две полутке чиниле село, па их Марко Штитарац ушорио.

Ту где је Кречковића имовина, на месту званом Рудо Поље, има Шанчина: Био брег метар и по висок, дуг десетак метара, широк 5-6 m, не памте од када. У атару Богосавца, на Бељевини, има такође Шанчина брег велики, зидан.

Гробље је до Преког шора, према Збеговишту, на Мутнику. И сад се познају кућишта на Збеговишту и на Старом Богосавцу. Кад су Турци били, ту су у луговима биле скривене куће.

Мутник се излива по пољу око корита по неколико стотина метара. "На Мутницима!" обе реке зову Мутник, и од Маова, и од Добрића (можда само неки!) Бунари дубоки 12 — 14 m у Грабичкој мали (жута, плава пепељуша, песак, шљунак).

Број становника 1065 а број домаћинстава 203 (1948).

Tonga: Volcanic Eruption and Tsunami – Jan 2022
Disaster description
A large eruption of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha-apai underwater volcano in the evening of 15 January (at 17:26 local time) caused a tsunami and ash fall in Tonga (total pop. 105,000 people). The volcanic eruption has continued throughout the day with satellite imagery indicating a 5km wide plume of ash, steam and gas rising into the air 20km above the volcano. The ash plume was observed moving northeast over the islands of Ha'apai and is currently proceeding in a westerly direction away from Tonga. The eruption was one of the biggest in Tonga in the past 30 years. During the initial eight-minutes, it was so violent it could be heard as "loud thunder sounds" in Fiji, more than 800km away.
No additional eruptions were recorded since yesterday's update. However, further volcanic activity cannot be ruled out. The ash cloud has slowly moved on in a north-westerly direction. Elsewhere in the Pacific (Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands) tsunami warnings have been lifted and no serious impact has been reported so far apart from some limited flooding [..] For Tonga, the tsunami of Saturday has caused yet to be detailed damage of buildings and infrastructure. Nuku'alofa, Tonga's capital, is covered with a two-centimetre-thick layer of volcanic ash and dust. However, the situation in the city is calm and stable and first clean-up efforts are being made. Nuku'alofa's waterfront is seriously damaged with rocks and debris pushed inland by the tsunami. Overall, there appears to be significant infrastructural damage around Tongatapu, the main island. There had been no contact from the Ha'apai Group of islands with particular concern about two small low-lying islands – Mango and Fonoi. An active distress beacon had been detected from Mango.
An initial assessment from the Government of Tonga is that 100 houses were damaged and 50 destroyed in Tongatapu. No evacuation centres are open in Tongatapu, the people who were displaced (numbers not confirmed as of now) are staying with extended families. There are 89 people in evacuation centres in 'Eua. Information from outer islands is still very scarce. In Ha'apai and Vava'u islands, communication lines remain down and concerns exist regarding damage to low lying island in this group. Three deaths have been recorded so far. Preliminary information from the Tongan Ministry of Agriculture indicates that the damage in the agricultural sector, and particularly of root crops, is less severe than initially feared. Due to thick ash cover is thicker than anticipated (between 5 and 10 cm) and will need more time to be cleared away. Planned relief flights (from Australia and New Zealand, for the time being) are on stand-by.

On 19 January, the Government of Tonga issued a State of Emergency. To date, there are three confirmed fatalities: one British national; a female from Mango Island; and a male from Nomuka Island. The government deployed two vessels with health teams and water, food and tents to the Ha'apai group where the islands of Mango, Fonoifua and Nomuka have been impacted. All houses were destroyed on Mango island; only two houses remain on Fonoifua island and Nomuka island experienced extensive damage. According to the government, evacuation of Mango and Fonoifua islands to Nomuka island is underway. As for destruction in the capital Nuku'alofa, the government announced that 21 houses were completely damaged and 35 severely damaged in parts of the western side of Tongatapu including Kanokupolu. Residents had been evacuated to evacuation centers and supplied with relief items. In the central district, Kolomotu'a, eight houses were completely damaged and 20 severely. On the island of 'Eua, two houses were completely damaged and 45 severely damaged. Water supplies have been seriously affected by volcanic ash. Government efforts have been made to ensure the continuity of the supply of safe drinking water. Tonga's cluster system has been activated and is compiling reports on needs to be addressed.
On 19 January, the UN Resident Coordinator received a request from the Government of Tonga for urgent assistance in the wake of the volcanic eruption and the impact of the following tsunami and volcanic ash it generated. There are still serious concerns about access to safe water throughout the island nation, and concerns about the quality of groundwater in Tongatapu. Data suggest that some 50,000 people are affected and access to drinking water remains one of the highest priorities. The capital's water supply is safe to drink but most people now rely on bottled water. It is estimated that some 12,000 households have been affected as all agricultural sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries) suffered substantially. Of particular concern is the effect of ashfall on crops along with saltwater intrusion and the potential of acid rain. It is further estimated that about 60 – 70 percent of livestock-rearing households either had livestock perished, experienced damage to grazing land, or have contaminated water supplies. As regards to Health, the hospital and the national pharmacy store in the capital are intact and fully functioning. There are some reports of damage to some health centres in Tongatapu, 'Eua and Ha'apai. The main issue going forward is monitoring the risk of infectious diseases through surveillance and the actions underway by the WASH sector.
Ten days on from the violent eruption of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcano, the Government of Tonga continues to provide relief in the most-affected islands while assessing damage and needs. The Government of Tonga and humanitarian partners report that the entire population of Tonga (approx. 105,000 people) have been impacted and that about 84,000 people (some 84% of the population) have been directly affected. Initial assessment data indicate that about 240 houses have been damaged or destroyed. Some 100 houses have been damaged or destroyed on Tongatapu and 50 houses on 'Eua alone. Tonga's key challenges continue to be access to safe water, ash clearance and ensuring food security. The Pacific Humanitarian Team is scaling up the support based on the request from the Government and based on the assessment of needs.
Across Tongatapu 90% of power has been restored as work continues for full restoration. Efforts continue with the clearing of ash debris and coordinating relief distribution to affected communities. NEMO and humanitarian partners have established 16 water stations areas around Tongatapu. The areas of Popua, Patangata, Kanokupolu, and Ahau have been sprayed for vector control and decontamination and the ground water has been chlorinated for safety. 293 houses have been damaged or affected by the volcanic eruption and tsunami according to government figures; the majority in Tongatapu. 1,525 people are still displaced according to initial findings by IOM.
On 1 February 2022, two COVID-19 cases were identified among port workers at the wharf in Nuku'alofa. A national lockdown was in effect as of 6pm 2 February. The lockdown may cause delays in the implementation of the humanitarian response carried out by NEMO and humanitarian partners on the ground. As of 31 January 2022, 2,390 people (2.4 per cent of the country's population) or 465 households remain displaced three weeks after the disaster onset, according to IOM's analysis. Of the 465 households, 54 per cent are in the main island Tongatapu, 31 per cent in Ha'apai Island group, and 15 per cent in 'Eua; 60 per cent of the 465 households have their houses severely damaged or destroyed. The total number of displaced people rose by 57 per cent since the last reporting period with progress in field verification of the assessment data. The local transmission of COVID has also further complicated procedures and the lockdown is likely to lead to further delays. With the help of rainfall, ash residue along the airport runway have been largely cleared. There have been no further reports of ash disturbance during landing, take-off and taxi operations. Most humanitarian needs are being met, however, access to safe water remains the most pressing issue.

The spread of COVID had a negative impact on the aid delivery and further relief and recovery planning. The majority of schools – which only reopened on 31 January – have been closed again on 2 February 2022 due to the COVID lockdown. It is estimated that more than 32,000 children have been psychologically affected by the emergency. More than 30,000 people have been reached with WASH assistance so far. An estimated 15,000 persons have been reached with health assistance and some 10,000 persons with nutrition assistance. Emergency shelter and NFI assistance was distributed to 2,020 people in most-affected areas. The loss in the agricultural sector is estimated at US$ 17 million, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests. While communication systems have gradually been fixed, the full capacity will only be reached in a couple of weeks due to delays in repair of the undersea cable.
As of 8 February 2022, only three direct fatalities and one indirect fatality have been officially recorded in Tonga. The low level of fatalities partly reflects Tonga's effective early warning systems, combined with previous experience of natural disasters in Tonga. Following the eruption, a small proportion of people suffered breathing difficulties and a few, mainly children, were hospitalized.

Activity detectors are primarily supposed to detect and prevent unauthorized usage of your property. Usually these are located at opportunities or windows and when breached, they collection down the alarm. When purchasing a movement detector ensure it's the option to adjust the tenderness level so the possibilities of having a fake alarm are minimized.

This kind of safety program is many typically within houses, stores, buying centers, companies and industries wherever constant tracking is required. Many protection cameras include the possibility to be set up with a video taking device for continuous recording.
They're a standard portion on most modern alarm systems. The objective of it's to ascertain whether a home or window is remaining start unintentionally. The device may send a signal to the alarm system in this kind of occasion and it will set off creating the home operator or the monitoring team aware of the situation.
Flooding and water detectors generally come being an recommended function in home protection alarm methods but they are very important for properties having a basement or houses in close area of a river, stream or sea. They may find high water level at the sump pump or when water is contained in a location wherever it should maybe not be.
Home safety systems can be both budget pleasant and high priced therefore a little study may be worth investing both time and money in. Just in case you are going for a monitored home protection system, question the security standard for a fast security requirement evaluation for your house or property.
