MANILA—Seeking to continue steering the country towards its maritime nation vision, ANGKLA Party-list was among the first sectoral parties to manifest its desire to participate in the 2016 elections. Members of the ANGKLA Party-list, through its President Atty. Augusto Perez, Jr.; Secretary General Atty. Bernadette Yanzon-Blanco, and Press Relations Officer Chief Engineer Peter Lugue, filed the Certificates of Nomination and Acceptance of the Nomination at the Commission on Elections on Monday.
ANGKLA Party-list is the first and only party to represent the maritime sector in Congress.
Leading its formidable list of nominees is incumbent ANGKLA Representative Jesulito A. Manalo. Cong. Manalo, a son of a ship captain, is a maritime lawyer. Next in the roster is Capt. Ronaldo Enrile, who is affiliated with the private sector. Completing the list are Atty. Augusto Perez Jr., Chief Engineer Petercon A. Lugue, and Atty. Bernadette Yanzon Blanco as third, fourth, and fifth nominees, respectively.
"We, in ANGKLA, remain adamant in our efforts at promoting that the industry be always included in the main agenda of the Philippine government, and made part of the political, economic and social consciousness of the country and its people," he added.
"During ANGKLA's first term in Congress, we endeavored to institute far-reaching reforms in the maritime sector," he said.
"Finally, the maritime industry was extended an opportunity to be significant, attended to, and to improve. We seized it and by now have introduced and supported more than a hundred laws, resolutions and policy reforms that will better promote shipping and resolve other matters of national importance," he explained.
Despite being a neophyte in Congress, ANGKLA's Rep. Manalo was able to pass landmark legislations such as R.A. 10635, which created a single maritime administration for implementation of STCW. The measure intended to cure the then imminent loss of employment and sources of livelihood of our Filipinos seafarers and their millions of dependents, due to the Philippines' failure to aptly comply with the STCW and other international conventions.
ANGKLA also passed the Liberalization of Philippine Cabotage Law, which effectively brought down the prices of commodities.
Soon to become laws are the ANGKLA's Naval Architecture Modernization Bill, which seeks to elevate the practice of naval architecture, and the Seafarers' Protection Bill, which imposes a cap on the fees which can be charged by lawyers to 10% of the monetary claims of seafarers. Both measures have already been passed on Third Reading by both Houses of Congress, and are merely awaiting the signature of President Benigno Aquino III.
Apart from performing its legislative mandate, ANGKLA also catered to the needs of its constituents through its social programs. ANGKLA provided scholarships and granted medical assistance to seafarers and their families. The party-list also led the distribution of seedlings and sports equipment, and provided funding for the construction of multi-purpose halls in localities with numerous resident seafarers.
"Truly, ANGKLA has been continuously fighting for the rights of the seafarers, and this public duty has always performed even when the seafarers are beyond our borders. Testament to this was when ANGKLA was at the forefront in the release of the 4 Filipino seafarers, who were unjustly detained in Argentina," Cong. Manalo said.
"Notwithstanding these milestones, much remains to be done in order to fulfill ANGKLA's vision," emphasized Cong. Manalo.
"Thus, once again, ANGKLA seeks to be at the helm in Congress in order for it to continue transforming the Philippines into a true maritime nation with more world class vessels, which will be built by world class Filipino ship builders in the Philippines, manned by world class Filipino crew, registered under Philippine flag, operated by Philippine ship management companies, and owned by no less than Filipinos," the incumbent ANGKLA representative concluded.

Anonymity, Film, Lectures & Events, Social Ethics, The Decision Between Us
This is the final scene from Todd Haynes' film SAFE. In it, the character Carol, (Julianne Moore) enters the windowless igloo-like cabin that has been assigned to her, at a New Age recovery centre somewhere in the southern California desert. Suddenly drawn to the small mirror on the wall opposite her bed, she approaches it and while looking into the mirror, and says, in a nearly inaudible hushed tone, "I love you." Shot from the point of view that we take to be occupied by the mirror, and which is the point of view that we as viewers are now made to assume, it is as though Carol is no longer professing her love to her mirror reflection and thus to herself, but (or perhaps also) to some unidentified and invisible other who inhabits the space outside of the frame, and towards which her gaze is directed. This could be any one of us as viewers, or more simply and expansively, it is an alterity that Carol (and each us) is in rapport with as the singularities that we are amongst other singularities.
Leo Bersani discusses this scene in his recent book, Thoughts and Things, specifically in terms of a certain "unnamed passion" that is presented here, and that Haynes and Moore ask us as viewers to reckon with. This scene, and Bersani's reading of it, are also featured in my current paper/talk on "The Commerce of Anonymity." There, I argue that an impersonal and anonymous commerce or compearance is staged here at the end of the film, in which through this "unnamed passion" that is also the passion and pleasure of not naming and of going unnamed, the self is opened up to as yet unknown encounters with yet-to-be-known others.
The "you" of Carol's "I love you" is the "you" that each of us is in the anonymous commerce of our sociality. The decision that we are left with is the decision to sustain a love that is legitimate to the extent that it operates without the safety and security provided by the legitimizing authority of the name. Love—and therefore friendship and even more broadly the commerce of encounters with strangers, passersby, and other anonymous others—is thus redefined as that which finds its legitimacy in the de-legitimzing pleasures, risks and affects of that unnamed passion that is anonymity.

I created this project to reflect upon how men are traditionally captured in art. In all mediums, cis men are mainly portrayed as hypermasculine while cis women are portrayed more consistently as delicate objects of pleasure. While I hope to challenge this representation in my artwork, I find it necessary to take into consideration this context and the reality of societal gender roles. I photographed these two friends and tried to display the affection and vulnerability that goes into friendship but is hardly ever displayed in male relationships. I feel strongly that men (and all people) should be able to display affection for one another without being labeled as "gay", because this notion perpetuates homosexuality as wrong and gross. The stigma against soft men and vulnerable relationships between men is caused by homophobia. I believe that artists and all people have the duty of not playing into gender roles that promote this stigma which feeds into the cycle of toxic masculinity.

For my part, each trend blogger should know about this stuff whether they choose to talk about it, support it or not, so ought to magazines and all related on-line media. Unfortunately, the most important manufacturers like Topshop or Nike for instance are additionally the largest sponsors and the most corrupt in relation to human and labor rights. Saying no to promoting corrupt manufacturers would mean reducing down on their earnings. What they don't understand is that if all of us collectively supported ethical manufacturers (like Asos Inexperienced Room, Fashion Saint, Stella McCartney and lots of more) then all the ability and cash of the fashion industry would shift to them.

Man who sold gun to Texas synagogue hostage-taker sentenced to nearly 8 years

Texas rabbi on surviving hostage crisis
Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker shares what happened inside Texas synagogue during hostage crisis 07:45
A man who sold a pistol to a man who used it to hold four hostages inside a Texas synagogue before being fatally shot by the FBI was sentenced Monday to nearly eight years in prison for a federal gun crime, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Henry "Michael" Dwight Williams, 33, pleaded guilty in June to being a felon in possession of a firearm, prosecutors said. Williams sold Malik Faisal Akram the weapon Arkam used when he entered Congregation Beth Israel in the Dallas-area suburb of Colleyville on Jan. 15 and held the synagogue's rabbi and three others hostage, according to prosecutors.
Williams, who was previously convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and attempted possession of a controlled substance, sold Akram a semi-automatic pistol on Jan. 13. Prosecutors said that in plea papers, Williams admitted to possession of that firearm despite his prior conviction.
"This defendant, a convicted felon, had no business carrying — much less buying and selling — firearms," U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham said in a news release.
Prosecutors said Williams confirmed selling Akram the handgun at a Dallas intersection.
Akram, a 44-year-old British citizen, held hostages while demanding the release of a federal prisoner. The standoff ended after more than 10 hours when the temple's rabbi threw a chair at Akram and fled with the other two remaining hostages just as an FBI tactical team was moving in. None of the hostages were injured.
Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker told CBS News shortly after the incident that he "told them to go, I threw a chair at the gunman and I headed for the door. And all three of us were able to get out without even a shot being fired."
Law enforcement officials praised Cytron-Walker for remaining calm and collected during the ordeal.
Cytron-Walker said his response was informed by different courses he had attended over the years with the FBI, the Colleyville Police Department, the Anti-Defamation League and Secure Communities Network.
"They really teach you in those moments that when your life is threatened, you need to do whatever you can to get to safety. You need to do whatever you can to get out," he said.
Williams was arrested just over a week after the standoff.

This past Wednesday the CSA hosted a sweet pizza party in PCH.
Students started showing up around 5:30pm and continued to trickle in until just before 6:00. That's when the good part happened. Nearly a hundred pizzas were brought out of the magical doors at the back of PCH and put on a bunch of tables, then the bowls of limitless pop were pilled high with the flavoured sugar water cans and those lucky few students who knew where to go had an awesome feast.
The CSA executive oversaw the party from the head-table on the stage. They had microphones in front of them and, while the party goers frolicked in the cheese-y pizza-ness of the party, answered questions.
After this, students took turns doing karaoke to their favourite hits from the CSA townhall in the fall semester. Some students did not seem to understand how microphone's work, but that's just how it goes with the karaoke sometimes.
One student took the time to inform the party that she was a vegan and everyone had a good laugh.
The party wrapped up after most students had left as the CSA handed out cool branded water bottles and hats to people in attendance. Everyone left full and happy.
No word on when they will be holding the Annual General Meeting, but they hosted a great party.

Q: Docker container unreachable from remote machine I use docker and docker-compose to deploy and run my java application running on port 5555.
I run it as  docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
But if I run telnet command outside of my server where docker container is runnig I  get Connection refused message. If run it inside the server everything is fine.
So these things are checked:
$: docker-compose ps

$: ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From

Update 1
From the docker logs of my container I found that application binds correctly to desired port:
2019-01-18 10:18:11.481 DEBUG 1 --- [ntLoopGroup-2-1] io.netty.handler.logging.LoggingHandler  : [id: 0xaf27337e] REGISTERED

Update 2
From my home computer I run telnet command telnet myhost 5555 and I get an error:
Trying myhost...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

After it's done I watch my container logs and they are empty (netty didn't register any connections).
Else I want to point that if I telnet another container with potgresql inside it - everything is ok.

A: Well, shot answer is think what host you are binding.
In my case netty server was bound like this:
BIND: localhost/127.0.0.1:5555

I've change it to:
BIND: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:5555

And it works like a charm!

Was it the first bursts of fire in another civil war in America? The "run of the mill liberal" who intended to kill off the entire Republican caucus on the baseball field was just a regular guy, according to those that knew him well. They couldn't believe that he'd plan and carry out a plan to gun down unsuspecting Congressmen on a baseball field, but that's exactly what he did. Several who were eyewitnesses to the shooting have expressed their belief that Divine intervention must have been the reason that only one was critically injured, given that the attacker was using a rifle, and yet was unable to hit numerous Congressmen even at very short range. Thank God the would-be killer was either a terrible shot, or angels were on hand to see to it that those dozens of bullets missed their mark.
Evidence shows that he was an avid consumer of the angry, ever suspicious, ever accusing mainstream and cable news anchors and analysts. The smirking lesbian on MSNBC was his favorite source of "information." She, the tag team on CNN, and the viscerally smug reporters and commentators from every mainstream outlet have created false and unrealistic expectations in the minds of liberals. They've been led to believe that the Trump presidency would be brought down at any moment, at the next hearing or as a result of the next headline in the NYT or the Washington Post.
Time and time again their hopes and expectations have been dashed after months of breathless reporting of "possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence services." Misinformed zealots have been driven nearly crazy with the 24 hour a day drumbeat that President Trump will be convicted of high crimes during the testimony at the very next hearing. Or, the one after that, they'll nail him for sure!
And then… nothing. No smoking gun, no evidence of "collusion," no evidence of obstruction of justice beyond the tender emotional suppositions of the 6′ 8" Boy Scout who sacrificed his reputation last year to exonerate Hillary Clinton in the long list of demonstrable crimes she'd committed while serving the Obama administration. Since the Director was unceremoniously relieved of his duties as head of the F. B. I., he's been emotionally conflicted about private conversations he had with the president months earlier. Contrary to his testimony, under oath before Congress where he swore there had been no effort to impede any inquiry, suddenly, in the wake of his dismissal, he's not so sure..
If someone is eventually successful in bringing down President Trump, can you imagine the praise and worship they'll receive from the purveyors of hatred toward this administration? Whether or not you've noticed, the middle aged attempted murderer of all the players on the the baseball field is being vindicated by an explosion of hatred on social media. "He had it coming… that KKK whore!" That's the tune they're playing, and there are reams of it.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the mainstream left despises the conservative positions of the man who now lies in critical condition, subjected to a series of delicate operations to try to save his life. Steve Scalise has been in full throated support of the current agenda, which in fact existed in the hearts of many patriotic Americans long before the emergence of the current president as a politician. Scalise is in favor of the deportation of illegal alien criminals, in favor of the 2nd Amendment, wants the influx of refugees limited, wants the southern border defended, Planned Parenthood defunded, and so on down the list of socialist sacred cows. If Mr. Scalise doesn't make it, the left will celebrate openly.
A Trump look-alike is being stabbed to death nightly in a Central Park, off-Broadway production to a standing, cheering audience. The list of shootings, beheadings and angry threats (Madonna said, "I've been thinking an awful lot about blowing up the White House.") issued by celebrities is long and growing. They've couched their language and imagery in terms of life and death. In essence, Trump and his supporters deserve death and destruction so their Utopian dream won't be interrupted.
Friendships are being jettisoned, marriages broken up and families ripped apart, so emotionally charged are the "feelings" over the possibility that the United States might be returned to some of the fundamentals of its creation.
This organization has not attempted to get involved in elections or politics whatsoever. First of all, any such attempt wouldn't amount to a belch in a whirlwind. But the real reason is, it's not a part of our commission. Ours is to continue to put out the unexpurgated message of the gospel, repentance and the path to salvation, while at the same time keeping watch of the world events that are propelling all of us toward the times of trouble of which the Bible warns.
The threats to western civilization, the influence of the papacy, the downward spiral of morality, the influx of culturally incompatible populations into the Israelitish nations, of terrorism against innocent civilians and of leaders who refuse to acknowledge the dangers that politically-correct dogma presents to a formerly lawful society, those are things with which the Church of God has always concerned itself. Some will find it painful to see their sacred cows slaughtered, and for that we're sorry. But we will not shy away or be intimidated by the doctrines of political correctness, many of which are inventions of communist ideology. The Bible says man's righteousness is like filthy rags to God, and its hard to imagine any "righteousness" filthier than the doctrines that have infected media, institutions of "higher" learning, or yes, even the churches of mainstream Christianity.
The Bible is replete with prophecies, End Time prophecies concerning the modern descendants of the ancient tribes of Israel. The Jews, Judah, are but one of the Tribes. Who are the others? Can the TEN Tribes that made up the House of Israel, following the death of Solomon, in opposition to the House Of Judah, be identified in this modern world. They certainly can. There is a plethora of meticulously researched material from various authors, including Yair Davidy, a Jewish researcher and author living in Israel and Steven Collins, whose books can be found on Amazon.com among others.
BUT, you can have an equally well researched book, authored by Garner Ted Armstrong, that traces the Biblical promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and traces the history of the Tribes of Israel right up to the present time. Who are they? Where are they today? What does Bible prophecy foretell for these modern Israelitish nations as we approach the end of the age and the return of Jesus Christ. The time when Jesus Christ plainly stated, "22And except those days should beshortened, there should no flesh be saved (alive): but for the elect's sakethose days shall be shortened." Matt. 24:22 (read all of Matthew 24!

Q: Equivalent of C++'s typedefs/alias use in template programming I'm working on a C# project, and found myself trying to reproduce a common pattern in C++, but so far have been unable to. An example of what I'm trying to do (in C++):
enum ProductItemTypes {
    Product,
    Family,
    SubFamily,
    Department

class ProductItem : PanelItem {

};

There are different classes that inherit from PanelItem and have their own item_subtype_t.
Then, classes that use PanelItems, can know the corresponding item type and work generically.
Having some sort of similar ability in C# would help me avoid lots of repeated code, but I don't wan't to pass all the types (ProductItem, ProductItemType, and some more that I have excluded for simplicity) around all the time.

A: It's hard to tell exactly what your use case is here because you haven't provided an example of this:

Then, classes that use PanelItems, can know the corresponding item type and work generically.

A class using PanelItems directly wouldn't be able to do this.  The only way around that would be if the class was a template class that took the type in directly (which I'm guessing is what you actually mean is happening):
template<class T>
class Foo
{
public:
    using item_type_t = typename T::item_type_T;
}

You're not going to be able to do this with C#.  While syntactically generics and templates look very similar they are two very different beasts.  C++ templates are compiled once for every different concrete type substitution that you make.  This is also what allows SFINAE to take place.  Basically every time the compiler sees a usage of a template, it substitutes in the type parameters and tries to recompile the class or method.
C#'s generics, on the other hand, are compiled exactly once and are agnostic to the type parameters.  This is the reason for the existence of generic constraints in C#: it allows you to give the compiler more knowledge about the kinds of types it's going to deal with.  It also means C# has no concept of SFINAE because there's no actual substitution done by the compiler.
My opinion is that your current approach is leaky.  Basically the different item_type_t types are implementation details of the derived classes and users of those classes must know what that type is in order to work with the type properly.  To me this is breaking encapsulation and C++ just provides a mechanism for you to get around this leakiness by hiding knowledge of the type from the programmer and only requiring the compiler to actually know it.
Without more details about exactly what you're trying to do it's difficult to give any suggestions about alternative approaches.  I'm fairly confident that there's an alternative design that'll cleanly deal with your problem, but right now this is a bit of an XY problem.


Graffiti used to be considered just another form of public defacement left to vandals, delinquents and ne'er do wells. But, thanks to post-modern visionaries like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, street art or "graffiti art" has become an increasingly influential and controversial form of artistic expression. And what better place to explore/create street art than in an unconventional, exhibitionist place like Austin! So straight from the underground art world of our beloved city, here are 5 amazing street artists every Austinite should know.
Bringing light and smiles to the streets of Austin, Mike Johnston AKA Truth uses his art to spread the message of joy across the city.
His murals and art works can be seen in paintings and on walls all around Austin, and he especially loves painting on found objects and huge concrete surfaces. Johnston's zen artistic vision is inspired by his travels across Asia and the Middle East, with his main influences coming from comic books, graphic art and street art.
Check out more about Mike Johnston and peruse his collection of prints, paintings and commissions here.
Born in Cordoba, Argentina, Lucas Aoki brings the colors and influences of Latin America to the Austin art world with his street murals, drawings, canvases and mixed media. After moving to Austin in 2004, Lucas was inspired to pursue his passion for art.
Collaborating with other local artists and contributing to various galleries and projects, Lucas loves the culture and creative vibe of Austin. His various works and media can be found at sprATX, BigCartel and Austin Art Garage, as well as on several walls and restaurants around the city.
Aoki's work is highly conceptual, surreal and Dali-esque, almost reminiscent of children's illustrations but with a darker twist. Check out more of Lucas Aoki's recent art work here.
Originally from El Paso "Chuco", TX, contemporary artist and UT alumnus Bradford Maxfield works with several groups and local creative minds to contribute to Austin's unique street art scene. Maxfield's art, which can be found at Estudio Bradlio as well as around the streets of Austin, reflects the complexity and beauty of the human mind.
As a self-made artist still exploring his creative depths, Bradford likes to work with various mediums and techniques. His colorful and vibrant vision is influenced by some of the greats like Salvador Dali and H.R. Geiger, as well as local artists and groups like the Blue Dozen Collective and Lucas Aoki.
One of his more recent artistic contributions to Austin is a huge mural commissioned by New Amsterdam Vodka for their "It's Your Town" event, held at spratx. But there's still plenty more to see around Austin, at Estudio Bradlio and on Bradford Maxfield's page here.
Born in the border town of El Paso, TX, graffiti artist Federico Archuleta AKA "El Federico" uses inspiration from his Mexican and Chicano background to build a totally original and impressive portfolio that includes street murals, art crawls, stencils for restaurants and nightclubs and even work with Jarritos Beverages!
A completely self-taught artist, Federico combines his childhood influences, from rock n roll album covers and comic books to cartoons and Lucha Libre, with his wide array of experience as a portrait artist on the market squares of Guadalajara, Mexico, to keep the Latino spirit alive in Austin.
You can find Federico's various works across Austin at bars and restaurants, at the East Austin Studio Tours and on the streets of Cesar Chavez. Check out more from Federico's portfolio of work here.
Jason EatherlyQuickly rising in the ranks of the graffiti art world is eminent artist Jason Eatherly. Whether it's videos, murals, paintings or fine art, Eatherly brings a fresh take on creative expression that is heavily influenced by our generation's urban culture and zeitgeist.
Eatherly's work can be found at the renowned Art on 5th gallery, as well as HOPE Outdoor Gallery and on the streets of Austin. The works themselves are mesmerizing and evocative, with traces of graphic art and modern expressionism. Check out more of Jason Eatherly's portfolio and available art here.

Caples named new assistant coach of Tarleton Baseball program
July 4, 2018 debug Sports, zAS-Tarleton, zAS-Top 0
STEPHENVILLE – Jacob Caples has been named the next assistant baseball coach at Tarleton State University. His role at Tarleton includes being the recruiting coordinator and hitting instructor.
"We're excited to have Jacob joining the program," said head coach Bryan Conger. "He is coming from a very good Arkansas-Monticello program with an awesome mentor in Coach John Harvey. Jacob has a great understanding of where college baseball is headed and has valuable offensive experience to continue the direction we want to go. He's also a tireless recruiter."
Caples comes to Tarleton with five years of NCAA Division II experience under his belt after spending his final two years of playing eligibility at West Texas A&M and the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Arkansas-Monticello. He steps into the top assistant role on Conger's staff, replacing Ben Buck who was named the head coach of Lamar Community College last month.
"As a player and coach, I have had the opportunity to witness what Tarleton Baseball is all about," said Caples. "The teams I've seen led by Coach Conger have been resilient and, as a coach, I have seen a great deal of respect for Coach Conger and the Tarleton Baseball program across the coaching community.
"Coach Conger has developed a forward-thinking program here and I am honored to have a chance to lead that front from the offensive side," he continued. "I'm excited to be a part of a program that sets themselves apart by the way they develop athletes and to be a part of this great Tarleton State University community."
Over the past three season, Caples has helped Arkansas-Monticello to three consecutive championship seasons in the Great American Conference.
In his first season with the program, the Boll Weevils went 40-16 and were the GAC Tournament Champions. They advanced to the regional tournament finals. The team followed up in 2017 with their second straight tournament title and NCAA regional berth. In Caples' final season at Monticello, his team earned the regular season championship. Arkansas-Monticello went 103-56 over the last three seasons with Caples on the bench.
In 2016, Caples helped coach Corey Wood to the Josh Willingham Award with 26 home runs, 90 RBI, and a .375 batting average. In his final year with the Boll Weevils, Caples' team accounted for 14 all-conference players, four all-region players, and an All-American. The team his .321 with 79 home runs.
Prior to his coaching career, Caples began playing collegiately at Western Texas College where he was an honorable mention all-conference catcher and helped his team to the first NJCAA tournament appearance in school history. From there, he continued his career at West Texas A&M in the Lone Star Conference and was an all-conference second team selection as a junior before helping his team to their first conference championship in school history in 2015.
Caples is a native of New Caney, Texas and graduated from New Caney High School. He received a bachelor's degree from West Texas A&M in 2015 in sport and exercise science. He earned a master's degree in physical education and coaching from Arkansas-Monticello in 2016. He resides in Stephenville with his fiancé, Victoria.

Sometimes you forget important things and that's what happened with my car which was meant to go for a fitness test this year. The laws in Mauritius state that a vehicle needs to go for its first fitness test after 7 years from first registration (for imported cars, it will be the date it was originally registered in that respective country), otherwise you will be get a fine of Rs500 for using a vehicle without a valid test certificate (Section 15(1)). Well my car was registered in March 2006 in Japan and I was supposed to take it for inspection in March this year but I totally forgot.
So last Monday, I did a research and found there were only 2 Vehicle Inspection Centres on the island; one at Plaine Lauzun and the other one at Forest Side. So I called the Plaine Lauzun Centre and got an appointment for 1 week later. Although there are 4 different numbers for the test centre, only one actually works (212 2719 ) and most of the time it's busy, so you have to try many times before you get connected to an agent. The person who answered my call sounded sleepy (at 09:45) and seemed as if he didn't want to be there and do his job. He gave me a reference number (3 digits) which I noted.
One day before my appointment, I tried to look where that Plaine Lauzun Centre was located and Google Maps indicated somewhere in Coromandel. Since I wasn't too sure where to go, I called the centre to ask for directions and was greeted by the same sleepy person who didn't do a good job at explaining where the centre was found. Fortunately though, I met my cousin on the way and he told me it was located near Cite Vallijee. If you're coming from Port-Louis, you have to turn left immediately after Kia Motors (Sam Motors) and on your right you'll see a bus terminus. If you follow the road all the way straight ahead, you'll see Tara Industries on your left and the first right you see, you need to take it. Once in that road, you'll see Roger Fayd'Herbe & Co Ltd on your right and if you continue a bit further, you'll find a road on your left and that's where the Plaine Lauzun Centre is located.
There is a big dedicated parking space inside the centre but you can also park outside on the road as well if the parking area is full. Note that the first entrance you see on your right when you turn into that road is for vehicles going for inspection and you should go to the second entrance instead to pay for your appointment first.
Once at the centre, you'll need to go to Counter 1 to make payment for the fitness test and they are open from 9am to 3pm except for 30mins break at 12. For motorcars, you will pay Rs400 and they will ask for your appointment reference number and your horsepower. They will retain the horsepower and tender you a receipt and tell you to take your car to a lane number; mine was 2. So drive out and go to that first entrance in the lane they stated.
A security guard will make note of your vehicle registration number and the current time. As I was sitting in the car, I decided to take a few pictures and overheard the inspector on my right telling the owner of the car that because his front licence plates were attached by adhesive tape, it was enough reason to fail his fitness test. The driver pleaded and said it happened this morning only but he was going to get it fixed straight away. His car was a 06 one and the inspector decided to pass him after his little scare.
On my left, there was an old car, probably manufactured in the year 1998 and the mechanic asked the driver to open his bonnet and start his engine. He then pulled something to make the engine go faster and told the driver his exhaust was making a bit too much noise. He then went underneath the car to check something and I did not manage to find out what happened next because an inspector was ready for my car.
So the mechanic/inspector looked briefly at my car (15 seconds max and just the outside!) and asked me for my insurance certificate. I showed him my insurance contract but he insisted on seeing my "carnet d'assurance" which I thought was the insurance contract. He asked me to remove my car from the inspection centre and go to the parking area where he will meet me. So I parked and asked someone what exactly was that "carnet d'assurance" thing and the guy showed me his. I quickly went through all the documents I brought with me and fortunately came across my insurance certificate which was attached to a little "carnet". I went back to the inspection centre because the inspector was not coming to me and showed him my insurance certificate but he had already completed the vehicle inspection report sheet for my car and handed it to me as well as my horsepower and asked me to go and submit the report at Counter 4.
I was astonished because he didn't check anything at all! It then occurred to me that only older cars and vehicles which are in bad shape are in actually inspected. It makes sense as well because on average 400 vehicles are checked at a Vehicle Inspection Centre and to meet with that demand, you obviously will not be checking vehicles thoroughly. It is actually very dangerous to be conducting inspection like that because many vehicles which are not roadworthy are overlooked and it increases the chances of accidents.
Anyway, I proceeded to Counter 4 where I submitted my horsepower and vehicle report and was told to wait before they issue me with my certificate of fitness. After a couple of minutes, someone called from Counter 5 and gave a fitness test certificate which is valid for 2 years. So next time I'll have to there is in 2015!
I thought a whole day would be wasted at the Plaine Lauzun Centre but it took me around 1 hour only. There's toilet facility at the premises and a person selling food at the entrance as well.
The government needs to take this fitness test more seriously. There are a lot of old cars on the road and they need to crack down on those which are not fit to be driven. I believe safety should always be a priority and they should do more to thoroughly inspect vehicles and only issue a fitness certificate when they are sure the vehicle is definitely roadworthy.
For more information, check the NTA website.
Wait. Did you mean that you had no fitness from March 2013 to June 2013? Normally, he should be fining you or at least give you some sort of warning. I might be wrong but I know that vehicles which are correctly regulated like here, need the vehicle to be towed to the center for its inspection.
Last point: On one of my visits, the officer asked me if "tone ammene l'enveloppe". I did not understand anything and replied him "non".
Later, I understood that he was looking for a bribe (dithé) but my car was in good condition, so he did not bother to explain to me what he wanted exactly lol.
btw, I get lost each time I go there. LOL!
When I called to make my appointment, I asked whether I would be fined for being late in getting my car's fitness certificate and the guy told me it was not like road tax and there's no penalty for any delay except when you're stopped by the police and you're unable to produce a valid certificate.
There's no proper indication where the centre is located and the road works close to the area does not help at all. I followed the diversion on my first go and ended up on the motorway!
This site is very helpful and has saved me of many a hassle this morning. I was through the entire procedure within one and a half hour, inclusive of going to the Post Office for the payment of the Road Tax at Bell Village where I was re-directed to the NTA itself for the payment of a penalty. Well done. Thanks.
"There are a lot of old cars on the road and they need to crack down on those which are not fit to be driven"
I heard 4 new test centres will open soon and the vehicle fitness check will be privatised and have more modern equipments. Hopefully then, they will crack down on those cars which are unfit to be driven.
Very helpful. Thankyou. Someone who needed help knowing how to manage!

Regina, a new adv campaign to tell its commitment to sustainable development
The 30″ video is now online with shorter versions at 15″ and 6″.
2 November 2021, Porcari (Lucca, Italy) – There's a time for everything. Including a time to tell our commitment to sustainability. Especially when the whole world is looking to ecological transition as one of the central issues for building a positive future.
"Sosteniamo" (We Support) is the title of the new online advertising campaign launched in Italy on the first of November by Regina, the best-known brand of the Sofidel portfolio, a world leader in the production of paper for hygienic and domestic use. The goal: to make people increasingly aware that, behind every sheet of Regina paper, "there is much more": that is, the constant commitment to people's quality of life and the protection of the balance of nature.
Created by Grey, the campaign is being launched at the same time as COP26, the global conference on the climate currently being held in Glasgow, Scotland. It is no coincidence. Because Regina toilet paper, paper towels, handkerchiefs/tissues and napkins are designed to offer simple and effective hygiene solutions that fully safeguard the balance of the planet's ecosystem. Little everyday certainties on which to depend knowing, at the same time, that Regina uses in its production only cellulose from certified forests, limits CO2 emissions to the utmost, reduces the use of plastic in its packaging and avoids wasting water.
"We are committed to improving the wider oikos – which means the life of families, their homes and our shared home: the Earth – and, for the first time, we are delighted to tell this to our consumers, who are very concerned about sustainability issues. So, we are turning to advertising with a campaign focused on Regina's commitment to protecting the environment. From our point of view, it is also a way of promoting increased awareness among people on issues that, at every level, are central and inescapable. For everyone. For our part, the search for reliable hygiene solutions that simplify life and placing the maximum focus on the natural capital are two maxims that guide us in offering innovative products and integral well-being," said Francesco Pastore, Sofidel's Chief Marketing & Sales Officer.
The campaign features normal people, like all of us, dealing with typical moments of family life and with little mishaps in the home, the sort that happen every day: a child who suddenly turns out to be an artist, daubing the glass of a window, a cake fresh from the oven dropped by the cook that ends up on the floor, a pan on the hob that, in a moment of distraction, goes up in smoke. Whatever happens, though, in line with the strategic and creative platform that has steered the brand's advertising for four years, Regina offers the certainty that it "supports" everyone in such situations, helping them to put everything in the house in order rapidly and without waste.
But situations in the home are just the beginning because the voice-over tells us about the "much more": Regina is also committed to responsibly taking care of a much bigger house, which belongs to everyone: our planet. The only one we have. The one we must protect. The one for which the world is now looking hopefully to COP26.
The 30″ video is now online with shorter versions at 15″ and 6″ aimed at specific targets: from those most aware of environmental issue to lovers of cooking, from families with children to younger consumers.

Garðaríki (também transliterado como Gardarikki, Gardariki ou Gardarike) ou Garðaveldi é um termo do nórdico antigo utilizado durante a Idade Média para se referir aos estados da Rússia de Quieve. A forma abreviada, Garðar, também se refere à mesma região, bem como o termo Austr, que designava o "Oriente" de modo geral, além de seus diversos derivados: Austrvegr ("Caminho do Oriente"), Austrlönd ("Terras do Oriente") e Austrríki ("Reino do Oriente").

O significado da palavra Garðaríki costuma ser interpretado como "o reino das cidades", provavelmente referindo-se a uma série de fortes situados ao longo do rio Volchova, começando com Lyubsha e Ladoga (ver Evolução da palavra Gord). Estes fortes tiveram que resistir ao Canato Cazar até o fim do , e acabaram por desenvolver o primeiro Estado eslavo, conhecido como Rússia de Quieve.

Gardar tem a mesma raiz que o termo eslavo grad ou gord ("cidade"), e o inglês garden, "jardim". Garðr referia-se a uma muralha ou fortificação, e com o tempo passou a designar aquilo que estava envolto por eles (para a etimologia germânica deste último elemento, veja Reich).

Como os varegues entraram em contato inicialmente apenas com as terras do norte da atual Rússia, suas sagas mencionam apenas a cidade de Holmsgardr (Novogárdia Magna) como capital de Garðaríki. Entre outras cidades mencionadas nas sagas estão Aldeigjuborg (Antiga Ladoga), Kœnugarðr (Quieve), Pallteskja (Polócia), Smaleskja (Esmolensco), Súrsdalar (Susdália), Móramar (Murom) e Ráðstofa (Rostóvia).

Três das runas varegues, a G 114, a Sö 338 e a U 209, se referem a homens escandinavos que estiveram em Garðar.

McMahon Back On Active Roster; Back In Lineup, Back Into the Swing of Things
© Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
byTracy Ringolsby
Sponsored by Sam's No. 3 -- No. 1 in Denver Dining
Amid the excitement created by the impactful night Rockies first baseman Ryan McMahon had in the 6-2 victory against the Phillies on Thursday night at Coors Field, the most insightful moment of all came during McMahon's post-game media session.
Wearing his traditional smile, glancing at the media crowding up to hear him during the typical clubhouse jubilance, McMahon touched on reality.
In the aftermath unloading a three-run home run on a fastball up in the sixth inning for a 3-0 lead, and clearing the right field scoreboard an inning later with a two-run home run on a fastball that had sunk out of the strike zone for the final margin of victory, McMahon touched on reality.
"This is just one game," he said with a smile that emphasized he did enjoy the one game. "This is a humbling game. As soon as you think you have it figured out you are screwed, but I am definitely taking what I did tonight and taking some confidence from it."
And he should. The Rockies second-round draft choice in 2013 out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Ca., McMahon's name has consistently been mentioned in talk about who the keys for the organization's long-term success are, but his initial big-league cameos have been more a reality check with just how much a challenge the sport can be than anything else.
An All-Star selection at each of his five stops on his minor-league journey to the big leagues, McMahon had a big-league cameo appearance in September of 2017, managing just three singles in 19 at-bats.
A year ago, he appeared in 91 games spread out over three different stints in the big leagues, and while he became the first player in franchise hit game-winning home runs in the seventh inning or later in back-to-back games against the Dodgers in August, the lack of consistency was underscored by his .232 average in 91 games. Even with the two dramatic blasts against the Dodgers, he hit only five home runs in those 91 games, compiling a .242 average while striking out 64 times in 181 at-bats.
And while he was in the Opening Day lineup at second base this year, the struggles continued. On Thursday, he returned from a 12-day stint on the disabled list because of a sprained left elbow, having only four hits to show for his first 20 at-bats of the season –just one single in the 15 at-bats before being placed on the disabled list.
"I always believed in myself," he said. "But one of the loneliest feelings is to be the guy going up and not getting that knock to help the team. We are all highly competitive people. We all want to be in that situation and succeed."
On Thursday night, McMahon was successful
With Opening Day first baseman Daniel Murphy still on the disabled list (broken finger) and right-hander Zach Evelin on the mound for the Phillies, manager Bud Black did not hesitate slotting McMahon into the No. 5 spot in the lineup, playing first base.
McMahon repaid the confidence.
"He had good swings," said Black. "He had a great return. A great night."
It was, however, "a night," something to build on, said McMahon. It didn't guarantee anything about Friday, much less the rest of the season.
"I have always believed in myself," he said. "But one of the loneliest feelings is to be the guy going up and not getting that knock to help the team. We are all highly competitive people. We all want to be in that situation and succeed."
This season doors opened for McMahon to make a claim to a major-league roster spot, even if initially it was at second base, a void created by the free-agent departure of DJ LeMahieu to the Yankees, a position that the Rockies had McMahon learn in addition to third base, his initial position in pro ball, and first base, the first base.
"I didn't look at it as a pressure," said McMahon. "I look at it as an opportunity."
And then came the injury. The Dodgers' Cody Bellinger ran into McMahon's left arm when McMahon reached up the first base line to catch a throw from Nolan Arenado. The frustration initially flared up.
Quickly, however, McMahon regrouped. He focused his time away from the active roster on regaining the swing he had refined in the off-season, taking advantage of advice from assistant hitting coach Jeff Salazar late last season on becoming more focused on pulling the ball instead of settling for an opposite-field approach.
This was, after all, his big chance. The Rockies had lost LeMahieu to free agency, and while they did sign Daniel Murphy to take over at first base with the return of Ian Desmond to center field, McMahon had shown a definite comfort at second base in his conversion to the new position.
At the big-league level a longer swing that he had developed on his way up the baseball ladder from high school through the minor leagues was no longer good enough for McMahon to be as good as he wanted to be. Salazar made the simple adjustment that instead of starting with his hands down, he should raise his hands to their high point, and start from there.
"I was able to hit the ball the other way, but I did not want to use that as a pacifier," he said. "It was not how I was going to get the best swing off."
With the suggestions from Salazar to build on, McMahon had a basis to work from in the off-season with Trent Otis, who over the years has worked with McMahon on his hitting approach.
"He broke some things down and helped me connect the dots from what Jeff was saying," said McMahon.

How Come There's a Highway to Hell but Only a Stairway to Heaven?
A story of sex, drugs and sausage rolls
Accordian to rumours some people doubt my ability to open a story with a music-related pun followed by the lyrics of the song 'Uptown Funk' all jammed into one opening paragraph. Don't believe me? Just watch!
On a serious note, if you are affected by the overuse of music puns, you have my utmost symphony.
I keep coughing and singing 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra
I think I've got the crooner virus
Lee Serpa Azeva-who?
Reflecting on the back-catalogue of ballads, heartbreakers and none-hit wonders that have become the Greatest Hits of my life, it's comforting to know I've never felt the need to sell out. Plus, let's not forget that as a witless weed-toking wino, masterfully masquerading as a high-functioning, upstanding musical member of society, I don't really have the time for such shenanigans.
Surely, not everyone was Kung-Fu fighting?
Like many other adolescent boys my age, I used to sit alone in my bedroom for hours on end beating the stick, avoiding the rim and crashing the cymbal. I loved that drum kit.
The Blu-Tac Dinosaurs
As we all know, I didn't get where I am today without being anything less than a complete and utter bullshitter, but even I can't polish the proverbial turd that is my first foray into the world of a wannabe musician.
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard. I should've known we'd never get far.
I know what you're thinking — "is this wannabe writer going to wax-lyrical about his musical meanderings for very much longer? He's talking absolute gobbledygook!"
My first wander into the world of music was about as successful as Mick Jagger's solo career. Within a matter of months The Blu-Tac Dinosaurs had split up due to musical differences; we didn't know our treble from our trouble, our Rock from our Roll, nor our Soul from our arsehole.
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, Stevie carried on playing the guitar, and I realised that if I remained a drummer, the only way I was ever going get a pretty lady on my arm was by visiting the local tattoo parlour. I don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but I'm really good when it comes to remembering names in songs and stories, but every Dom, Rick and Gary knows that.
Suffice to say within a few months I'd taught myself to play the bass guitar. Want to know my secret? Stay tuned.
Shrubbery Convention
About a year or so later I hear through the grapevine that Stevie's got himself a half-decent band and is looking for a bassist.
I was now in my first rock band. I once shared an office with a slightly unhinged guy who played heavy metal at work, every single day. He was office rocker.
It takes exceptional stage presence, tons of talent and oodles of animal magnetism to front a successful rock band, none of which our beloved frontman Pete had.
Pete would leap on stage in a flowery summer dress, singing to — or more like shouting at — his favourite cactus about his love of all things cheese. I slip you knot, he was a complete and utter basket case, as mad as a hi-hatter.
The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum
Pete's voice was so bad no one would ever dare sing along with him. It was like he needed a duet yourself kit. Pete took more drugs than Keith Richards, who himself should win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, don't worry, it's alright to tell jokes about the Rolling Stones, in fact, it's a gas.
All rock bands have their personnel problems. For example, back in the day, Aerosmith's Joe Perry spread those filthy rumours that Steven Tyler handles a pen very femininely. The word on the street was he doodles like a lady.
We released our debut EP 'Cheese Comes in Other Colours Than Yellow', and then disbanded. Talking of colours, it's a shame The Beatles didn't make the submarine in their song green, that would've been simply sublime.
The Duvets
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but, that's the only way to judge a tribute band.
Being the new kid on the rock in a middle-aged classic-rock covers band is neither cool, hip or trendy. But my god was it fun! No joke.
In The Duvets, I loved jamming more than a broken printer. The guys took me under their Wings and really got to know me. It was like I was a need to know bassist.
Many people now regard the 90s as the new 60s, if you remember the Pixies, you really weren't there, man.
Honey Pit
A couple of years later Stevie had himself another band and was once again seeking a bassist.
As 'Honey Pit' we were a half-decent back-to-basics rock band, with some decent songs under our belt and a demo tape to boot.
Some things are not meant to be, and each of us ended up going our own way.
Admittedly my solo career is a back catalogue of half-written songs penned by a burnt-out old hippy. But they do say it's better to burn out than to fade away, but they also say you shouldn't buy the newly released Bonnie Tyler sat nav, it keeps telling people to turn around, and every now and then it falls apart. But, at least it's not as bad as that Bon Jovi sat nav. Apparently, we're always halfway there.
To conclude these shenanigans I'd like to say it's been an absolute privilege to perform in front of you this evening. You've been an amazing crowd, thank you, goodnight, god bless.
"Play like no one is listening,
pick like you've never been plucked,
and sing like no one is paying to get in."
Lee Serpa Azeva-who?!
Thank you for the applause, thank you, thank you, you're too kind.
In writing this story, I hope I haven't sounded like a broken record, I've just enjoyed talking 'bout my generation and what it was like to be a wannabe musician in 90s London.
Music is both magical and powerful. It has the potential to enter our soul and stir our emotions.
Music connects us to one another, through our culture, and our language.
Through this gig called life, I've accumulated a veritable set-list of life lessons:
Life is not a rehearsal
Rockstars are only cool because they have a lot of fans
Live your life like there's no encore
Never techno for an answer
We are all words of a song that is yet to be written
If you throw faeces at the audience, the shit will hit the fan
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."

Cutaneous sarcoidosis and malignancy: An association between sarcoidosis with skin manifestations and systemic neoplasia.
Cutaneous sarcoidosis and malignancy: An association between sarcoidosis with skin manifestations and systemic neoplasia.Jay Lenner2019-02-08T20:10:04+00:00
Dermatol Online J. 2011 Jan 15;17(1):2.
Alexandrescu DT, Kauffman CL, Ichim TE, Riordan NH, Kabigting F, Dasanu CA.
BACKGROUND: Whereas the association between multisystem and pulmonary sarcoidosis and malignancy has been documented, a relationship between cutaneous sarcoidosis and neoplasia has not yet been reported. Because cutaneous manifestations are seen in 20-25 percent of cases of sarcoidosis, this association deserves further investigation. METHODS: We reviewed the relevant literature, in addition to our case series, for a total of 110 cases of cutaneous and non-cutaneous sarcoidosis associated with malignancy with the aim of analyzing possible associations between cutaneous sarcoidosis and malignancy and to enhance the dermatologist's understanding of their critical role in the management of this disease. A search for consecutive cases, which were encountered during the past 20 years, identified 10 cases of confirmed cutaneous sarcoidosis. A review of the relevant literature was also conducted to identify cases of malignancy associated with cutaneous and non-cutaneous sarcoidosis. RESULTS: Cutaneous localization of sarcoidosis was identified in 58 of 100 patients with sarcoidosis and cancer found in the literature (58%) and in 4 of 10 patients in our series (40%). In our series, all cases manifested solid tumors, including breast (n=4 tumors), prostate cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (n=1 of each type). Among the 6 patients in our series with cancers and non-cutaneous sarcoidosis, the types of neoplasias encountered were renal cancer (n=1), mycosis fungoides (n=1), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=1), colon cancer (n=1), and ADK of parotid (n=2). Neoplasias developed after an average of 7.14 years in the literature cases and eight years in our series, following the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Among the 100 cases of cutaneous (n=58) and non-cutaneous (n=42) sarcoidosis associates with malignancy, which were extracted from the literature, hematologic malignancies accounted for 73 percent of cases and sarcoidosis preceded the detection of neoplasia in a majority (76%) of cases. Among 110 total cases analyzed in this paper, cutaneous sarcoidosis was confirmed in 56.4 percent of overall cases, a figure exceeding expected rates of cutaneous involvement (20-25%) in the general sarcoidosis population. CONCLUSIONS: Sarcoidosis with cutaneous manifestations appears to be associated with malignancy, possibly at a higher rate than other systemic forms of sarcoidosis. The predominant occurrence of sarcoidosis before the development of neoplasia may indicate that an immune dysregulation, such as impairment of cellular immunity mediated by sarcoidosis or the effects of treatment may contribute to an increased risk of malignancy in predisposed individuals. Physician recognition of this link between sarcoidosis and malignancy is critical. Dermatologists, in particular, play an important role, given that many of these associated cases manifest initially, or even solely, with cutaneous findings.

Articles on p39 of
Arcus Drusi: erected by the senate some time after 9 B.C. in honour of the elder Drusus (Suet. Claud. 1; HJ 216).a It was of marble, adorned with trophies, and stood on the via Appia, probably a little north of its junction with the via Latina. It seems to have given its name to the Vicus Drusianus (q.v.), and is probably the arcus Recordationis of the Einsiedeln Itinerary (11.3; 13.24; cf. Mon. L. I.515; DAP 2.ix.416). See also Aqua Drusia.•
Arcus Drusi: erected in honour of the younger Drusus after his death in 23 A.D., if the statement in Tacitus (Ann. IV.9; cf. II.83) be correct. Possibly it stood at the north end of the Rostra, as the arch of Tiberius stood at the south.
Arcus Drusi et Germanici: two arches erected in 19 A.D. in honour of Drusus and Germanicus on each side of the temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum Augustum (Tac. Ann. II.64; CIL VI.911 = 31199; cf. 912 = 31200).

Ogilvie Mansion in Quebec
Helen Johnston was the wife of William Watson Ogilvie. Ogilvie was a successful businessman who had made a fortune in the grain trade with his business, Ogilvie Flour Mills.
In April 1892, William purchased the 180 acre Sommerville farm. The farm included a half-mile of St.Lawrence shoreline. Today the area is known as Lasalle.
William hired well-known Montreal architect A.C. Hutchinson, to plan and build an English-American Queen Anne style mansion on the land facing the rapids, and to distinguish it by using wood instead of stone materials for its structure. Stables and Barns were added to shelter his racing horses and his cherished Ayershire cows. The country estate was completed in 1893 and became the family's summer residence. The house was adorned with beautiful paintings and works of art.
Their summer retreat became a popular place for Montreal's dignitaries and celebrities to attend. The family's primary residence was the Rosemount House, located in Montreal.
William Ogilvie died on Jan 12th, 1900, leaving all of his land and possessions to his family. Upon his death, the Ogilvie mansion fell into disuse for a period of time. In 1910, it was sold by the Ogilvie family to the Ross Realty Company.
Around 1935, the Ogilvie Mansion became the LaSalle Golf Club. In 1944, the estate and the 18 hole golf course were sold to Lasalle's famous Alepin family. The family rented the land and the house to the Lasalle Golf Club.
Several renovations were made to the mansion including a large Lasalle Golf Club emblem on the floor in the front lobby. The golf club ceased operations in 1970. A caretaker (Jean-Paul Laramée) was assigned to watch over the property, a position he held until July of 1980.
The city of Lasalle expropriated the land and proposed demolishing the property to create a new road and park. The property was designated as a National Heritage site, thus saving it from demolition.
Sadly the mansion burned down due to an act of arson.

The walls of Jericho have fallen and God has given victory to the Israelites. There are plenty of spoils of war, but God demands that he be given the treasures. This seems unfair, but God is reminding the Israelites that he gave them the victory. It was only through the power of God that the city of Jericho was conquered. The treasures are used for the continuing of God's work through the Israelites. Everything that the Israelites have is only because God gave it to them and it is to be used for his purposes.
The bounty from the victories we have are not for our own purpose, but instead to be used for the continuing of the kingdom of God. Often, we forget this and think that our treasures are our own. We get greedy and hoard, when God is calling us to give. This means more than our money: it means our whole selves. Everything we have is God's gracious gift to us and it is up to him how those gifts get used. By giving our whole selves to God, we allow his plan to continue through us.


Capsule were invited for the 3rd year running to produce a showcase at this years Sonar Festival in Barcelona. We put forward two Birmingham bands ZX Spectrum Orchestra + Pram, which took place in the Sonar Hall on Thursday 19th of June. Both acts performed to a full to capacity hall (3000 +) with an overwhelming response from the audience, this was our best response yet.
We also had a stall in the record and media fare, selling our wares. With thanks to Ben Javens/Pram/ZX Spectrum Orchestra/Jacob + Kate/Dan Davies/Film Ficciones/Geoff Dolman/Juan Rae/Ian Rogers/Katherine Godfrey who all took it in turns to man the stall and promote Birmingham.
We produced 'Capsules Guide to Birmingham', a free leaflet which is by no means a definative guide to our fair city but trys to give an alternative view to visitors who will attend Supersonic and to intice those at Sonar. It includes recommendations of things to do/places to stay/eat and shop. It was co-ordinated by Capsule, written by Dan Davies and designed by Ben Javens.

An Organization That Is on the Move
2014 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses
What Is Happening at Wallkill, Warwick, and Tuxedo?
How Is the Warwick Project Progressing?
Rapid Progress at Warwick
They Offered Themselves Willingly—In New York
Highlights of the Past Year
On Friday, July 5, 2013, the United States Bethel family was thrilled to hear Anthony Morris of the Governing Body announce: "On Thursday, July 4, 2013, an agreement was reached to sell the six buildings comprising the 117 Adams Street and 90 Sands Street complex in Brooklyn. The sale of Buildings 1 to 5 requires that we vacate them by mid-August of this year."
Brother Morris explained that the Laundry and Dry Cleaning Department, located on the sixth and seventh floors of Building 3, would continue to function there until mid-2014. "The 90 Sands Street building," he said, "will likely be vacated during the 2017 calendar year."
The sale of the six large buildings is part of the effort to move the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses from New York City to a 253-acre (102 ha) property at Warwick, New York. However, preparation and excavation at the construction site could not proceed until the necessary permits were obtained.
Hence, the United States Bethel family listened eagerly to the announcement read by Mark Sanderson of the Governing Body on Thursday, July 18, which said: "We are happy to announce that on Wednesday evening, July 17, the Warwick Planning Board unanimously approved the site plan for the new world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses. This is the final approval needed to begin obtaining building permits to start construction. It is of interest to note that last evening's approval came exactly four years to the day since we closed on the purchase of the Warwick property. What is more, the events of the last few days that led to this approval provide dramatic evidence of Jehovah's blessing." Brother Sanderson thanked everyone for their tireless work and earnest prayers in behalf of this important project. "Most of all," he said, "we give praise and thanks to Jehovah for this important milestone in the relocation of the world headquarters to Warwick, New York."
On Friday, July 26, Brother Morris met with some 1,000 Bethel and Regional Building Committee (RBC) volunteers who were gathered in the new dining room located at Tuxedo, New York, the staging area for the Warwick project. After speaking on an encouraging spiritual topic, he said that he had an announcement to make. "In my hand," said Brother Morris, "I have something I just received that I would like to share with you. At the top of this form, it says: 'Building Permit.'" Before he could read any further, the volunteers erupted in thunderous applause. To the delight of all in attendance, Brother Morris went on to read portions of the first major building permit, which had been issued by the town of Warwick just three hours earlier.
Since the start of the expansion project at Wallkill in August 2009, about 2,800 brothers and sisters have served there as temporary volunteers. The project includes a new residence building, a parking garage, and an office building. One of the present residences is being renovated, and adjustments are being made to the printery, laundry, auditorium, services building, and main lobby. Construction on the Wallkill expansion is expected to continue until the end of 2015.
In the meantime, construction began at the site of the future world headquarters at Warwick. In the few months since the work started, grading and excavation, as well as installation of underground utilities, have been under way. Construction of the first three buildings—the Vehicle Maintenance Building, the Visitor Parking Garage, and the Maintenance Building—began late in 2013. These buildings are critical in caring for the equipment and the on-site workforce, both during and after construction. They will be followed by the construction of residence buildings and the Office/Services Building, which are slated to begin in 2014.
The Tuxedo facility, a 50-acre (20 ha) property located about six miles (10 km) north of Warwick, "is a support site for the future world headquarters at Warwick," explains Construction Project Committee member Kenneth Chernish. "It will house some of the volunteer workers and will also be used to support them with meals, materials, and equipment." To expedite the construction project at the Tuxedo facility, selected RBCs in the eastern part of the United States have been assisting with certain aspects of the work.
Many volunteers who work with RBCs around the country look forward to having a share in the construction of the future world headquarters. Skilled brothers and sisters are already making themselves available for temporary volunteer service on these construction sites. Leslie Blondeau, who works in the Plumbing Department with her husband, Peter, says, "Working together draws us closer to each other and gives us memories that we will cherish for a long time."
"I am currently working with the electrical crew here at Tuxedo," says Mallory Rushmore. "Every day it is exciting to see all the people here—all the volunteers—everyone working together."
"This is a remarkable privilege," says Quincy Dotson. "I thought that I would be giving a lot of myself, but in actuality, I've been gaining so much more."
"It is thrilling to be a part of this project," says Brother Chernish. "The brothers and sisters are doing the job quickly and efficiently, and at the same time, they're enjoying it immensely."
