An Introduction to the Broads and the Broads Authority
National Parks are a 19th Century American invention, adopted in the UK after the Second World War. The National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 introduced a process for the designation of National Parks, and the Environment Act 1995 established National Park Authorities. From as early as the 1930s the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads ('the Broads') was considered as a potential National Park, being Britain's largest and most important wetland. However, it was not included in the first round of designations in the 1950s because of initial concerns about the costs of maintaining the area.
The Broads is Britain's largest protected wetland, with some of the rarest plants and animals in the UK, and one of its most important inland waterways. The Broads attracts more than 7 million visitors a year. As a local industry, tourism is second only to farming, supporting more than 7000 jobs and contributing nearly £6m a year to the local economy.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988 gave the Broads an equivalent status to that of a national park, and the Broads is a proud member of the UK family of National Parks. By creating a Special Statutory Authority (the Broads Authority), the Government recognised that the Broads needed the same protection as a national park but with the added responsibility for protecting and maintaining the navigation. More details on our legislation can be found on our website.
The Broads Authority was set up in 1989 with responsibility for the Broads and specifically for conservation, planning, recreation and waterways. While the area administered by the Authority is formally known as the Broads Authority Executive Area, the term 'Broads National Park' has been adopted by the Authority to promote the Broads and increase public awareness of its unique qualities.
The Broads Authority is an independent body working within the framework of local government. Under the Broads Act 1988 it has three general duties:
To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the Broads
To promote opportunities for the understanding enjoyment of the special qualities of the Broads by the public
To protect the interests of navigation
In discharging its general functions, it must have regard to:
The national importance of the Broads as an area of natural beauty and one which affords opportunities for open air-recreation;
The desirability of protecting the natural resources of the Broads from damage;
The needs of agriculture and forestry and the economic and social interests of those who live or work in the Broads.
The Authority also has the duty to maintain the navigation area for the purposes of navigation to such standard as appears to it to be reasonably required, and to take such steps to improve and develop it as it thinks fit.
The Broads Authority is the local planning authority for the area and is also a harbour and navigation authority.
The Broads Plan
The Broads Plan is the partnership strategy for the Broads. It sets out a long-term vision and guiding actions to protect and enhance the area's special qualities. The current Broads Plan covers the period 2017-22. While the Broads Authority is responsible for its production it is very much a partnership plan, and its success depends on a common vision, joint working and the best use of shared resources.
We also have a number of guiding strategies that sit under the Broads Plan. These generally focus on a single theme or area, such as education, access or the Broadland catchment.
Our Annual Business Plan gives an overview of our work priorities for the coming year. It is a link between the Broads Plan, and our Directorate and team work plans.
Each year we identify a small set of strategic priorities that focus on Authority-led projects that have high resource needs or a very large impact on the Broads, or that are politically sensitive. Setting these priorities helps target resources and make the most of partnership working and external funding opportunities. Priorities are set each year, although the scale of many projects means they are implemented over several years. The progress on the strategic priorities is presented at each Broads Authority meeting.
Around 150 officers work for the Broads Authority in either full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary positions.
We have three Directorates:
Chief Executive: Finance, IT, and Governance
Operations: Construction, maintenance and environment teams, ranger services, safety management and the volunteer service.
Strategic Services: Tolls, strategy and projects, development management (planning), communications, and human resources
See our Organisational Structure Chart for more details.
We also have a great team of volunteers who support our work in everything from countryside management and patrolling the waterways to research and administrative work. As well as helping to implement our strategic aims, our volunteers are a vital link to our local communities.
The Authority is funded from two major sources: National Park Grant (NPG) from Defra and Navigation Toll Income. These are approximately equal and are used to fund the activities, including staffing, across the organisation. This is supplemented by income from planning fees, fen management and Rural Payments Agency income, staff recharges to Whitlingham Charitable Trust, Visitor Centres /Yacht Station sales and external funding such as Heritage Lottery Fund and European Regional Development Fund.
The Financial Strategy sets the annual budget and provides indicative figures for the following two financial years. This is agreed annually by the Broads Authority, normally at the January meeting, depending on when the NPG settlement is received.
The consolidated budget is split between National Park and Navigation activities as the legislation dictates that only Navigation income can be spent on Navigation activities. A number of budget headings make up the consolidated budget, with activities split by percentages between the two. These percentages were originally agreed by the Resource Allocation Working Group but can be amended by the Authority as long as it is not in contradiction to the legislation.
The budget is monitored throughout the financial year (1 April to 31 March) and reported to the Authority as part of the Finance Performance and Direction report. Budget holders are asked to provide commentary on a monthly basis as to any variances (differences) between their profiled budget and their actual position. There can be a number of reasons for variances throughout the year, including contract savings, receipt of additional income or contractor delays. Members receive commentary on these and an indication of what the final results will look like, referred to as the Forecast Outturn.
At the end of the financial year the actual levels of income and expenditure are used to produce the Statement of Accounts. These include additional adjustments made at the end of the year to cover items such as depreciation and pension contributions. Training is provided to Members to help understand the differences. The accounts have to be produced in draft by 31 May and approved by the Authority by 31 July. They are audited by the Authority's external auditors, Ernst & Young, between these periods and are made available for public inspection. Copies of the Annual Accounts are available on our website.
The Statement of Accounts is made up of core statements that include the Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement, Balance Sheet, Movement in Reserves and Cash Flow. These are supplemented by a number of more detailed notes. One of the notes is specific to related party transactions, including transactions between the Members and the Authority. It is crucial that Members submit their annual declarations as accurately as possible, including any pecuniary interests, as this is disclosed within the note. Further guidance is available from the Chief Financial Officer.
As well as external audit, the Authority also belongs to Eastern Internal Audit Services, a consortium made up of Breckland, Broadland, North Norfolk, South Holland and South Norfolk District Councils, Great Yarmouth Borough Council and the Broads Authority. Internal audit's focus is to provide an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems, corporate governance arrangements and systems of risk management. The result of these form part of our Annual Governance Statement, produced alongside the Statement of Accounts. The annual accounts are published on our website. Four service areas are reviewed every year and will always include Key Controls (Finance) and corporate governance. ICT is reviewed every other year. Past audits have covered other areas such as external funding, planning, the Port Marine Safety Code and asset management. The results of internal and external audit are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee.
We have 21 Members from diverse backgrounds who represent the public's interests in the Broads. Nine are appointed by local councils, ten by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and two by the Authority itself from the eight co-opted members of the advisory Navigation Committee.
Terms of Appointments for Defra and co-opted Navigation Committee Members are for four years up to a maximum of 10 years. The terms for Council appointees are usually one year, except Suffolk County Council and North Norfolk District Council whose terms are for four years. Appointments are made by Councils after the May election.
The Meet our Members page has more information about our Members and the committees they sit on.
Member induction
All new Members go through a comprehensive induction programme. This covers a variety of topics, including the Authority's history, purposes and functions, and also includes site visits.
Member development
Following induction, you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and site visits to help develop your skills and enhance your contribution as an Authority member. To support the Authority and your role, we ask you to complete a Members' Review every year. Further details are in the Broads Authority Member Development Protocol.
Scheme of Member Allowances
The Scheme of Member Allowances is made in accordance with the provisions of the Local Authorities (Members Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003, as amended.
A basic allowance is payable to all Members unless they choose not to receive the payment. This allowance is paid in recognition of the time and money devoted to Authority duties.
You can also claim for private mileage on Authority business in accordance with approved HMRC mileage rates. Claims should be submitted quarterly to the Governance Team, by the 20th of the month for payment the following month. Blank Member Expenses Claim Forms are available on the Member's Handbook webpage.
Members' Privacy Notice
The Members' Privacy Notice outlines how we use any information you give us, and how we protect your privacy. It reflects the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulations.
Collectively, the Members are the prime decision makers through the meetings of the Broads Authority. Members are responsible for setting the Authority's strategic direction and policy, and monitoring their implementation.
Day-to-day decision making is delegated by Members to officers, as set out in the Scheme of Powers delegated to Officers.
To ensure this relationship is balanced and the respective roles of Members and officers do not become blurred, the Authority has a Protocol on Member and Officer Relations. This contains valuable guidance on roles, expectations and working relationships, as well as specific guidance to Members if there are any problems.
Members should at all times conduct their relationship with officers in a manner that reflects the obligations of the Broads Authority under the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Equalities Act 2010 and other employment legislation.
The Authority's Annual Governance Statement sets out how the Authority maintains high ethical standards in its governance and internal control systems.
The Audit and Risk Committee meets three times a year. It has responsibility for financial scrutiny, including a review of the Statement of Accounts and Annual Governance Statement, financial planning, audit and risk management. It takes a strategic view on whether the resources allocated to the Authority are used effectively. This is an advisory committee to the Authority and has a very limited decision-making role.
The Authority's functions as a local planning authority are carried out by its Planning Committee, with powers delegated to officers in accordance with nationally established legislation. The Planning Committee is a decision-making committee and normally meets 4-weekly. Planning decisions, whether made at Committee or through delegated powers, are published on the Authority's website.
The Authority's Navigation Committee of 13 members and co-opted members advises on the navigation function of the Authority. It is an advisory committee and does not make decisions. However, if the Broads Authority does not accept recommendations by the Navigation Committee it is required to give reasons.
The Broads Local Access Forum is a semi-independent body to advise the Authority on the improvement of public access to land within the Broads executive area.
The Committee Structure Chart shows how the committees work together.
The Authority has appointed two Independent Persons who are regularly consulted to enable the Authority to achieve high ethical standards.
Core values and ethics
On 30 September 2016 the Broads Authority unanimously adopted its new Code of Conduct, based upon the Nolan Principles.
The Authority also has its own set of core values, which it promotes to staff and Members through posters and screen savers, codes of conduct and protocols, recruitment, interview and appraisal processes, and development programmes.
We show commitment - Working together for a common purpose; Showing flexibility, trust and enthusiasm; Delivering on our promises.
We are caring - Setting realistic and properly resourced workloads; Supporting each other to get things done; Giving praise and daring to challenge.
We are exemplary – Being visible, approachable and professional; Making sound judgements on strong evidence; Aiming higher, smarter and always inspiring.
We are open and honest – Being fair and consistent in our words and actions; Always willing to ask, listen and respond; Doing what's right and being accountable.
We are sustainable – Looking after our resources wisely; Understanding the impact of our choices; Doing work that adds real value.
The committee calendar is reviewed annually and approved at the Broads Authority's March meeting. The annual committee cycle is set to meet key business deadlines, as shown in the table below.

Agenda papers
The Authority has adopted the use of electronic agenda papers at meetings, and therefore hard copy papers are not sent to Members. Full agenda papers are sent to you by email for the relevant committee a week before the meeting, and are also published on the committee pages of our website.
Rules for the conduct of Broads Authority and committee meetings
Terms of Reference of Committees
The Broads Authority has specific rules for the conduct of its meetings, set out in the Standing Orders. Much of the wording follows long-established rules and precedents used by local authorities, updated to reflect changes specific to the Authority.
The Standing Orders cover matters such as the Order of Business, Motions, who speaks, when and for how long, and rules of debate.
As well as being able to ask questions on Authority agenda business, Members are also entitled to ask questions on business before the meeting, providing they give four clear working days' notice (Standing Order 6).
The Standing Orders include a section on recording meetings and using hand-held electronic devices. Meetings are audio recorded and recordings are available to the public on request.
Generally, Authority meetings are open to the public. The exception to this is when discussions are taking place on confidential 'pink items'.
The Code of Conduct will apply whenever Members act in their official capacity, including when conducting the business of the Broads Authority or acting, claiming to act, or giving the impression they are acting in their official capacity. The Code is not intended to apply to issues relating to Members' purely private matters or to political opinions.
The Authority also has a Social Media Policy Guidance.
Openness and transparency on personal interests
As a Member of the Authority, it is your responsibility under the law to declare interests and to satisfy yourself as to which interests should be declared. The Members' Code of Conduct has a section on disclosable pecuniary interests and other interests.
For official guidance on the circumstances when Members should register Disclosable Pecuniary Interests and other interests, we recommend the Department for Communities and Local Government's 'Openness and transparency on personal interests: A Guide for Councillors'.
Probity in planning and code of conduct for members of the Planning Committee
The Authority has a separate Code of Conduct for members of the Planning Committee. Among other guidance, it sets out rules on lobbying, pre-application matters and circumstances where Members are connected to someone making a planning application.
Planning Committee members should also refer to the Local Government Association's publication Probity in planning: advice for councillors and officers making planning decisions.
Freedom of Information Act, data protection and confidentiality
Legal provisions apply to Members in regard to freedom of information, data protection and confidentiality. These are generally dealt with as part of your induction, due to their complexity.
The Authority has a duty to comply with requests made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) or the Environmental Impact Regulations, within 20 working days of a request being received. Generally, the rules are clear and are routinely dealt with by officers. Any Member seeking information from the Authority should follow the provisions in the Protocol on Member and Officer Relations, rather than use the FOIA. This includes the procedure if a Member considers that confidential information should be disclosed by them in the public interest.
Confidential matters brought to Authority meetings are presented in the confidential section of agenda papers and are known as 'pink items' (as they are on a pink background). These items are discussed at the part of meetings at which the press and public are excluded and should be kept confidential. There is no audio recording of confidential items.
For more information on anything in this section, contact the Authority's Data Protection Officer.
Additional guidance for committee meetings
Predisposition, predetermination or bias in decision making
These concepts of predisposition, predetermination and bias are judge-made, common law issues, and not part of the Authority's Code of Conduct. When complaints are made, it is often in the context of planning matters. There is a difference between breaching the Code and being predetermined or biased. It is perfectly possible to act within the Code and still cause a decision to be bad for predetermination or bias.
What is predisposition?
It is not a problem for Members to be predisposed to a particular view. That predisposition can be strong and can be publicly voiced. However, a Member must be open to the possibility that, however unlikely, they will hear arguments during the debate about the issue that will change their mind about how they intend to vote. As long as they are willing to keep an open mind about the issue, they are entitled to take part in any vote on it.
What is predetermination or bias?
Predetermination is where a Member's mind is closed to the merits of any arguments that differ to their own on a particular issue on which they are making a decision, such as an application for planning permission; in other words, when a Member makes a decision on an issue without taking other arguments into account.
If Members are involved in making a decision, they should avoid indicating that they have conclusively decided how they will vote at the meeting, such that nothing will change their mind. This impression can be created in a number of different ways such as quotes given in the press, and what they have said at meetings or written in correspondence. It is recommended to remain prudent about commenting prior to making a decision.
Rarely will membership of an organisation on its own, such as a national charity, amount to apparent bias. This is unless the organisation has a particular vested interest in the outcome of a specific decision that a Member is involved in making.
When considering whether there is predetermination or bias, Members responsible for making the decision should apply the following test: Would a fair-minded and informed observer, having considered the facts, decide there is a real possibility that the Member had predetermined the issue or was biased?
However, when applying this test, they should remember that it is legitimate for a Member to be predisposed towards a particular outcome as long as they are prepared to consider all the arguments and points made about the specific issue under consideration. Planning decisions are not similar to judicial decisions, they are administrative. Therefore, it is acknowledged that Members may appear predisposed for or against a particular planning decision.
Other procedures and general information are on our website under Constitutional documents.
The Port Marine Safety Code sets out a national standard for every aspect of port marine safety. Its aim is to enhance safety for everyone who uses or works in the UK port marine environment. The Code is applicable both to statutory harbour authorities and to other marine facilities that may not have statutory powers and duties. As the Broads Authority is a statutory harbour authority, the Code applies to us.
The Code requires us to appoint 'duty holders' who are accountable for our compliance with the Code and our performance in ensuring safe marine operations. The role of duty holders is undertaken by Authority Members who are, both collectively and individually, publicly accountable for marine safety under the Code.
The Authority has a range of statutory and non-statutory duties and powers relating to marine operations. These duties include a duty of care to those using the harbour, which means the Authority has an obligation to conserve and facilitate the safe use of the harbour as well as a duty of care against loss caused by the Authority's negligence.
The Code requires a Safety Management System to be developed and documented to detail arrangements, policies and procedures of how these duties are to be discharged.
The Authority has appointed the Head of Safety Management as the 'Designated Person' responsible for providing the Authority with independent assurance that the Safety Management System is effective. The Designated Person has direct access to the Duty Holders. The Designated Person presents regular progress and audit reports to Members so they can be assured of compliance with the Code and ongoing development of the safety management system.

Island Information
Island Covid cases have risen for the first time weeks.
Courtesy Island Boards of Health
Covid Cases See Summer Breakthrough
Noah Asimow
After weeks of decline, Covid-19 cases shot up again on Martha's Vineyard, with health agents reporting 16 new cases last week, including six breakthrough cases among vaccinated residents.
In a weekly case update, Island boards of health reported 11 symptomatic, one asymptomatic and four unknown cases between July 11 and July 17. The 16 new cases come after six straight weeks in which health agents reported four cases or fewer, with cases in late June dropping to zero on the Island.
According to the update, all but one of the cases were tested at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital. While six of the new cases are among unvaccinated residents, four are unknown and six are among fully vaccinated residents. Monday's update marks the first time health agents have specified the vaccination status of patients.
Ten of the cases are currently active, health agents reported, with cases in every age group from zero to 70. Four of the cases are among patients over the age of 70.
In an interview with the Gazette Monday morning, Tisbury health agent Maura Valley said that the patients were generally experiencing mild symptoms.
"The people that we reported this week, I don't believe any of them were extremely ill," Ms. Valley said. "I think the symptomatic individuals were mildly symptomatic. I have not heard of any of the vaccinated individuals this week being extremely ill."
According to the Centers for Disease Control, both the Pfizer and Moderna two-shot, mRNA Covid-19 vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of Covid-19, including severe illness, by 90 per cent or more among people who are fully vaccinated. While breakthrough infections can occur among vaccinated people, data has shown infections to be less severe, according to the CDC.
Approximately 86 per cent of Dukes County has received two vaccine shots, according to state public health data based on 2019 census numbers. Among eligible age groups, only those between 50 and 59 have less than a 95 per cent vaccination rate, with 92 per cent of people in their 50s receiving at least one dose of the vaccine.
As the Delta variant spreads across the country, Ms. Valley said that the hospital and boards of health have sent positive test samples off to the state epidemiology lab to be sequenced for variant testing. She said results could take as long as three weeks due to a backlog at the state lab.
The jump in Island cases mirrors state and national case rates, which have climbed since dropping precipitously in the wake of the initial vaccine push. But as vaccination rates have stagnated across the country, cases have slowly continued to rise.
Ms. Valley said on Monday that a number of the Island cases were connected, with two families with two positive cases, and one with three or four.
"No big groups, and no sense that it's a cluster in any way," Ms. Valley said. "Just various family members."
While Ms. Valley did not know how many of the cases were connected to off-Island travel, contact tracing had shown that a couple of Covid-positive patients had traveled to Provincetown last weekend. Provincetown has seen a small case surge in recent weeks, with state officials expanding testing capacity in the outer Cape.
Ms. Valley said guidance has not changed due to the recent cases, and that previously-scheduled outdoor events were still a go. The Beach Road Weekend concert festival in Tisbury is scheduled to start Friday.
"Guidance has not changed on anything on this point," Ms. Valley said. "Beach Road Weekend is still using the seating pod arrangement that was in place before different Covid measures were lifted, trying to give people separation . . . it's not like 2019's Beach Road Weekend."
But Ms. Valley expressed frustration that cases were still rising, nearly 16 months after the pandemic began. She pointed to various factors, including the large summer population spike and the rainy weather, as possible explanations.
"I was really hopeful that our numbers would remain low. But just seeing the number of people on the Island, I wasn't surprised that they went back up," Ms. Valley said. "There are a lot of people here, a lot of people traveling here, and it is pretty crowded. And a lot of it also could be that there's been pretty crummy weather, so people are spending more time inside than they normally would be."
The Island has now had 1,527 confirmed positive cases since March of 2020.

I was inside Morning Glory Farm yesterday, vaccinated and wearing a mask. And I was glad I did. 90% of the shoppers were not masked. The place was mobbed with summer people, who brought their children, and their houseguests to see the charming place. Many people who were not shopping were wandering around blocking aisles for shoppers, standing in aisles having long cell phone conversations (hence expelling their germs). In a large store like Cronig's or Stop & Shop, it's not so bad. But in such a small space it is dangerous with the highly infectious delta variant. I spoke with a manager and suggested they have a sign that says, GIVEN COVID CONCERNS, PLEASE ONLY TWO SHOPPERS PER PARTY. He listened politely, but I don't know if they will do anything. I want to support our local businesses, but they need to realize that Covid is not over!
Liz, Islander / full time
I too shop at Morning Glory and elsewhere on the island frequently , I am fully vaccinated and enjoy being mask free and if you are that fearful, that hesitant, maybe you should consider staying home, shop during off peak hours, or simply continue wearing your mask everywhere you go, no one is stopping or judging you, but to lecture and judge others and businesses on what they should be doing according to you is not your place. You have a choice, and so do we, thankfully, the many of us who have been fully vaccinated have followed the science regarding Covid, masking, vaccinations, the variants, etc., , followed the proper protocols and have chosen to resume our lives, mask free. Should you disagree or decide to live differently, that is your choice, but please don't tell others they are wrong and should be living and thinking like you with all due respect. We all have different opinions on the matter, we are all responsible for ourselves, we can agree to disagree….that's ok.

M.C., Edgartown
Gazette - Can you follow-up this article with additional info on which of the 3 vaccines the 6 vaccinated-yet-covid-positive people received? And also what % of the infections were Delta variant? In the news coming out of NYU's Grossman School of Medicine study today that J&J might be less effective against the Delta variant, this information might help boost citizen confidence in getting the vaccine if it's Pfizer or Moderna instead of J&J. As opposed to contributing to the false and inaccurate (yet proliferating) perception that the vaccines are ineffective against preventing Covid, so "why get a shot in the first place?". Thank you!

El Himno Nacional de la República Socialista Soviética de Bielorrusia (bielorruso: Дзяржаўны гімн Беларускай Савецкай Сацыялiстычнай Рэспублiкi, transliteración: Dziaržawny himn Bielaruskaj Savieckaj Sacyjalistyčnaj Respubliki), fue el himno de la RSS de Bielorrusia, una de las repúblicas constituyentes de la Unión Soviética.

Historia
Este himno fue utilizado del 24 de septiembre de 1955 hasta el 25 de agosto de 1991. Compuesto por Nestar Sakalowski, con letra compuesta por Mihas' Klimovich.  La versión original estalinista fue grabada en 1952, y fue oficializado hasta 1955, dos años después de la muerte de Stalin. En 1956, como parte de la desestalinización, la mención del exlíder soviético fue retirada.

La música de este himno fue reutilizada en 2002 para My Belarusy, himno actual de Bielorrusia. En esta versión, se retiran todas las referencias a Rusia y al comunismo, caso similar hecho con el himno ruso.

Arizona Music Historian John Dixon Is Hosting a Record Sale This Weekend in Scottsdale
Guided by Voices: Booze, Leg Kicks, and Chemistry
| Interviews |
Amy Young | June 12, 2014 | 9:41am
One of the more prolific bands in rock history (21 albums and counting), Guided by Voices has managed not only to have a hearty discography but also the ability to consistently write quality songs, keeping rabid fans addicted while getting new admirers to jump aboard the band's eclectic ark. The songs' lengths and production values may vary, but the result is the same -- a unique sound that engages splashes of several kinds of rock, including lo-fi, pop, punk, garage, psychedelic, and progressive.
Since the band's inception in the early '80s, the driving force behind the merrily mischievous music makers is Robert Pollard, a former Dayton, Ohio, schoolteacher. Though the band has seen a lot of personnel changes over the years, Pollard currently is playing and touring with members of an early GBV lineup and doesn't see that changing anytime soon.
"The so-called 'classic lineup' is a term pegged by Matador Records for their 21st anniversary bash in Vegas four years ago," he says. "I've got no plans for any lineup changes for GBV. We're having a blast."
Any GBV fan will tell you that the band's live show is something not to be missed. The band is definitely not afraid to drink a beer or 20, and from beginning to end, it's not just any old show. Booze-injected and loaded with energy, band camaraderie, and plenty of Pollard's signature leg kicks, it's a goddamned experience. It's like dropping the band and a few hundred diehard fans and other music lovers into a great big envelope, sealing it up, and handing the package over to a giant who shakes the whole thing vigorously for a couple of hours, dropping everyone out at the end in a sweaty, smiling stupor. It's sincere and fun.
Guided by Voices Guitarist Doug Gillard Explains Band's Myriad Side Projects
From the countless sing-along favorites, like anything from 1994's Bee Thousand to poignant beauties like "Fair Touching" from 2001's Isolation Drills, Pollard says to plan on hearing a mix of new and old.
"This tour includes a lot of songs spanning the entire GBV canon. Lots of new songs from the two albums we released this year, Motivational Jumpsuit and Cool Planet. Also, it's the 20th anniversary of Bee Thousand, so we'll be doing quite a few songs from that album. And then we'll sprinkle one or two songs from the rest of the albums that the "classic" lineup performed on, like "Teenage FBI" -- close to 50 songs in all.
Proving that age really is often just a numeral, the amount of years under the band's collective belt doesn't mean any slowing down of the show.
"We're still having fun. I think the chemistry is still there and warrants live performance," Pollard says. "I needed to hear how the new material from our two new albums translated to the stage. I think it does very well. We still spark a decent amount of energy for our ages. We're getting up there, but it doesn't matter."
As far as what he's putting in his own ears these days, Pollard says, "I still listen to mostly old stuff. I'm kind of out of touch with what's happening contemporarily. I've heard some really good stuff on indie labels like Sacred Bones and Hozac. I'm just not as diligent in my search for interesting new records as I used to be. Also, I keep myself pretty busy with my own output."
Guided by Voices is scheduled to perform Sunday, June 15, at Crescent Ballroom.

Ilya reached her second turn. Third door on the left… she could see it from here through another emergency light. She squinted, her eyes finally having adjusted to the darkness. Despite her caution,her steps quickened and Ilya practically slid into the open doorway.
The room seemed to just fit around the large man as he sat wedged between the wall and a small table. He was hunched over and appeared to be asleep.
"Ilya?" Cael's voice came to her muffled. She peered into the room.
She crouched down and ducked her head near the seat across from Alberich. She saw the top of Cael's head as he tried to twist to see around his own shoulders. She reached over and rustled his hair.
"He Bhaga! I've come to rescue you after all." She tried to laugh, but the relief left a tremble in her voice.
She reached down and pulled at the restraints around his wrists.
There was a quiet rumble of voices building in the distance. They must be gathered somewhere close by. Ilya sat back on her heals and counted her breaths again. In… one… two… three…. She couldn't make out which language it was; too many voices speaking at once and too many walls muffling the consonants.
Out… one… two… "There's no other choice." Her joints felt rubbery as she pushed herself up.
The light pouring through the doorway bloomed and wavered and Ilya realized she had started crying. Irritated with herself, she rubbed her eyes with the collar of her jacket before peeking into the hallway. There was a flicker of light at the end of the hallway to her left. Something about it seemed off, though. It was a cooler hue than the emergency lights, and seemed to be shining sideways though another doorway. She glanced to the nearest door to her right and backed toward it as she kept a wary eye on the suspicious light in the distance.
Was that light moving? Ilya rubbed her eyes again and squinted. Through the emergency light she could see the colder beam in the distance skew and shine at multiple angels. She just recognized the flickering as silhouettes passing through each other's lamp lights when she reached the next doorway. Ilya dove into the dark room.
It was another interrogation room, empty this time. Ilya listened to the approaching voices. They slurred and hissed at each other. Not the voices of authority she was hoping for. Her ears began to ring as she gasped for breath.
He Bhaga, woman, BREATHE! IN… ONE… TWO… THREE….
She was going to have to try for another room. Her coat was dark, maybe they were still far enough away, they wouldn't see her if she moved quickly. Ilya leaned against the doorway and peaked just long enough to see they were closing in. They didn't seem to be in a hurry, though, popping in and out of doorways as they passed. That was both very good and very bad. They weren't just going to pass her by this time. It was hard to tell how many of them there were as the shadowy figures jumped in and out of the roaming lamp lights, but they were definitely men.
Out… one… two… three…. She was definitely feeling faint. What was she going to do? She had to find something before those men found Cael and Alberich.
The sound came from the dark kampdator attached to the table. She tiptoed over and sat down.
"Oh, of course." He whispered. She could hear a faint thud and click from the hall.
Ilya let out a shaky sigh of relief.
Ilya was staring at the dead kampdator when it popped on with an intense brightness and blinded her. She stifled a yelp and slapped her hands over her face again.
Ilya could hear the inner hum of the kampdator struggle as the light dimmed between the cracks of her fingers. She ventured a peak with one eye, yet again, to see the wavering head and shoulders of Sieffre.
Ilya swallowed and heard an involuntary whimper in her throat.
"I can't! I can't do this!" Her panicked whispers devolved into breathless squeaks.
Sieffre flipped back onto the kampdator before her, his face full of concern and empathy as he looked at her. She got an odd feeling as their eyes connected for a moment. It was as if he was really there, seeing her through the skrina instead of looking through the camera.
Ilya dropped her head to the table and let out a tortured moan. Sieffre let her take a moment to sit up and rub her eyes again. She took a deep breath and nodded.
Sieffre broke into wide grin.
Another few pops, closer this time, and Ilya started to shake.
She looked at him incredulously from behind the palm of her hand.
There was screaming; a man screaming in terror running through the halls, getting closer.
"Out… one… two…" her voice shook but Sieffre's calm demeanor was having its effect. After a few more repetitions, Ilya's breathing was relatively under control again.
He pointed behind her and she turned around to see the door slide open and the dim hallway quickly fade out and in twice.
Ilya watched as his attention seemed to turn inward for a moment before focusing back on her.
Ilya turned away from the skrina and squinted into the dimly lit room. A giant rectangular blotch made it impossible to walk through the room and she walked into another desk before she realized she could switch the hand she was still using to cover half her face. Suddenly the room seemed to be awash in light from the skrina behind her. The hallway before her was practically glowing.
Ilya peeked into the hallway with her good eye. Beyond the light shining over the door of the women's holding cell she could see the intersection was still empty. Glancing down the hall behind her, Ilya quickly tiptoed to the cell's doorway.
Mari had slumped completely to the floor and was half hidden by the bench. She let out a low moan, and Ilya hesitated. If Mari was waking up, she should probably stay.
She pushed away from the door and rushed to the intersection. Its emergency light was already on its second fadeout before she realized Sieffre was warning you about danger. She heard boots and bare feet pounding in the other hallway; their shouts had more of a celebratory feel to them. Ilya slid to the floor and quickly scooted against the nearest wall, unsure of which direction the danger was coming from. Thankfully, the intersection was plunged into darkness just as several men ran by one practically skipping along, slapping the walls and ceiling as he brought up the rear. All of this Ilya pictured in the darkness as she hugged her coat around her with her eyes tightly shut.
She peaked with her good eye to see that the light was back on and quickly switched to the bad eye. In… one… two… three. She pushed her way up the wall and held her breath as she darted to the hall on the other side of the light. Out… one… two… three. Ilya felt safer as soon as she was safely in the shadows again.

Guysborough County Heritage
Old Courthouse Museum/Guysborough Historical Society
Goldboro Interpretive Centre
Communities Along The Bay Interpretive Centre
Commercial Cable Heritage Building
Canso Islands National Historic Site of Canada
Afrikan Canadian Heritage Friendship Centre
This Heritage building was one of the largest cable relay stations in the world. It housed some of the most technologically advanced equipment for its time. Nine thousand miles of cable ran in and out of this building facilitating much of the news of world events and communications between Europe and North America. It was first constructed of wood in 1884 and replaced by the brick building in 1888.
Located in Hazel Hill, just outside of Canso, this town has elegant company houses which are vestiges of a bygone era.
Next to the building is a park which has one of the Stations of The Trans Atlantic Cable Communications Heritage Trail.
The Americans first conceived the idea of linking the hemispheres and it was their money which primarily financed the companies involved. The German-designed cable was constructed at Sir Alexander Siemans' factory at Woolrich, England. The English not only did the actual work of laying the cable but also provided the ships necessary for this important task. Almost all cable operators were rigidly trained in England. The Creed Automatic Printing Device, an instrument used in virtually every cable office in the world, was invented by a native Nova Scotian who for many years lived in Canso. His name was Frederick Creed.
Although an American Company, Commercial Cable relied almost exclusively on the English for operation and management personnel. The Hazel Hill 'Canso Station' was promoted by the company as being the most technologically advanced Cable Station of its' time. To attract and retain their workforce, Commercial Cable is reported to have provided "generous salaries and luxurious working living conditions to their British telegraphers" …and families. Commercial Cable employees lived in rent free homes. They were also provided with a multitude of recreation and leisure activities, one month of vacation each year, and a fifty dollar bonus every three years. "Such amenities in the nineteenth century were virtually unheard of." Company homes had electric lights, running water and indoor plumbing, well in advance of most homes of that area.
Commercial Cable was sold to International Telegraph and Telephone (ITT) in 1927 which in turn was acquired by Western Union in 1988.
Commercial Cable Heritage Site
The Canso Station ceased operation in 1962. The words of the last Superintendent of Commercial Cable, Mr. Charles Holness, seem to best sum up the feelings of the times:
"I was there all by myself. This enormous cable station, and it was just about to die…I sent this message to the executive vice president in New York: "It is with feelings of sadness that we watch the lights of the Canso Cable Station go out, and realize that a mere effort that blossomed for the greater part of the century is come to an end. Those members of the Canso staff will be leaving our service today, some of whom have completed fifty years of service, are grateful to you for your kindness and bid farewell, and have asked me to express their earnest hope that the new era now beginning will bring prosperity to the country and happiness to all its employees. My sincere personal regards."……then I pulled the plug and the station darkened."
The shuttered large brick building still stands in faded glory. There is a project under way to restore it as a tourist site. Until that time you can visit the park adjacent and read the interpretive panels there to get a better picture of the heritage attributed to the Canso Cable Company.
Tans-Atlantic Cable Communications Heritage Trail
In 1874 the first direct connection between Europe and mainland North America was made at Tor Bay Nova Scotia.

DIM – Diindolylmethane is a phytonutrient (plant nutrient) and it is responsible for many of the health benefits associated with vegetables. When taken as in supplement form it may give help women with estrogen dominance, that is, changes in hormone production and metabolism resulting in excess estrogen action, the result being hormone imbalance.
When you eat vegetables one of the many compounds you ingest is DIM (Diindolylmethane), however it is difficult to get enough DIM from your diet from vegetables. That is why it is beneficial to take it as a supplement.
A useful dose is 15 mg per day, and men should start with 30 mg per day.

Its a beautiful day for railfanning in North Bessemer! The Bessemer has just pulled in with a heavy train of iron ore pellets as the Union railroad awaits departure.
3 tunnel motors ease there way into the yard on a very beautiful almost spring day.
Bessemer crew seen walking down to unloosen the brakes on the end hoppers before setting back north.
Seems like every week one of these tunnel motors broke down, it's barely been a week since I caught 908 broke down in NB. Now it's 907 and 908!
Three tunnel motors pull into North Bessemer as snow begins to thaw out as the sun shines!
Broken down 908 idles in North Bessemer as it desperately waits in the cold for a crew to come rescue it.
A trio of tunnel motors seen in North Bessemer yard from high above as if it was an HO scale layout!
900, 902, and 901 reverse into a long string of empty hoppers that are soon to head north.
905, 906, and 908 head back north as they pull through East Oakmont with empty hoppers.
908 trails a trio of engines as they pull towards the northend of North Bessemer to pick up empty hoppers.

Very good app. Makes it easy for me to keep up with my team. However, I can't find documents sent from other team members. I have to open them from the email notifications.
Have greatly enjoyed this app on my iPhone. Helps me keep up with products created within projects. Can do with app what I can do on website.


Why have pro-life bills died in the Mississippi Senate in years past? Pro-abortionists have had a powerful ally in State Senator Hob Bryan (D), who has repeatedly been appointed chairman of Senate Judiciary B Committee by Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves (R). Reeves has referred most pro-life bills to Sen. Bryan's committee in the past. As head of that committee, Sen. Bryan has been given the power to set the agenda of what bills are brought up and voted on in committee.
What's interesting is that the Mississippi Democratic Party Platform statement supporting abortion (in Roe v. Wade language) states: "We support a woman's right to privacy in making her own health care decisions." Pro-life bills have been killed by Lt. Gov. Reeves' chairman by refusing to bring them up in committee for a vote because of the high possibility they would pass in committee and later on the Senate floor. Sen. Hob Bryan stays true to the Democratic platform supporting abortion.
Although there are no abortion related, pro-life bills in Sen. Bryan's committee this year, the pro-abortion industry need not fear if the Mississippi House passes pro-life legislation. Most pro-life legislation in the House comes out of House Judiciary B committee. If a bill passes out of the House Judiciary B Committee and is passed by the House, it is routinely referred to the Senate companion committee, Senate Judiciary B, that Sen. Bryan chairs, where pro-life bills get the death sentence. See how that works?
Pro-life legislation has also had a similar fate under Sen. Dean Kirby (R), also appointed by Mr. Reeves, who chairs the Senate Health and Human Services committee. When considering pro-life legislation, this committee and its leadership have faced enormous pressure from the Mississippi State Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, expressing their "concerns" about or "opposition" to pro-life legislation. Why does Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves keep appointing leaders who are either weak or opposed to pro-life legislation?
Send an email to your Mississippi representative and senator, encouraging them to help get pro-life legislation out of committee so they can be voted for on the floor.
Mr. Reeves has termed out in his current office as Mississippi Lt. Governor. Many have considered him to be a "shoo-in" for Mississippi governor. Mississippians are tired of establishment politicians who are weak on pro-life issues and who think the only meaningful legislation that should come out of committee are those related to business or government bond legislation.
The angst of Mississippi voters was made abundantly clear in the 2016 elections when they supported Mr. Donald Trump for president in the general election. Trump voiced an unapologetic, pro-life position, and garnered 58% of the vote in Mississippi. This is more than what establishment presidential candidates Mitt Romney (55%) and John McCain (56%) received in Mississippi's general election in 2012 and 2008, respectively.
The pro-life mandate is even more stark when considering that Mississippians also strongly supported Mr. Trump in the Mississippi presidential primary with 47% of the vote. Compare that to the dismal 8.8% of the vote that Gov. John Kasich, the preferred Mississippi establishment presidential candidate, received. Gov. Kasich also recently vetoed a pro-life, heartbeat bill in Ohio. Mississippi saw similar actions opposing heartbeat legislation in 2012. In 2012 a heartbeat bill passed the House, but when the bill went to the Senate it never had a chance to be voted on. Why? Because the anti-life, Democratic senator appointed by Lt. Gov. Reeves, Sen. Hob Bryan, killed the bill in committee. Read the story, here and here.
The Mississippi Republican Party Platform states, "We believe that life begins at conception and that all life, regardless of age, is a precious gift from God, and must be protected."
Deadline to bring these bills out of committee is Tuesday, January 31. Does Mississippi Republican leadership really believe what the Mississippi Republican platform claims? Soon it will be clearer to voters if the Republican, pro-life platform that Lt. Gov. Reeves, Sen. Kirby, and others want to run on is in "word and deed" or in "word only."

Changes in the environment due to global warming and extreme weather conditions is making it difficult to protect themselves from the excruciating summer heat. Every living organism present on earth are trying to protect themselves from effects of excessive heat. If you want to protect yourself from the effect of excessive heat and keep yourself cool then you can adopt following Ingenious ways.
During summer everyone feels very thirsty and sweat excessively, even though sweating is beneficial because it helps in removing unwanted substance created in our body but sometimes, useful substances are also exuded via sweat which makes the body physically weak and that's why to maintain their energy level, one must keep a check on their food habits. Fruits which contain more amount of water should be actively consumed. Here, we are going to discuss such food products that are beneficial to beat the heat this summer.
Watermelon- From centuries, the favourite fruit of children and young people has been watermelon which gives keeps the body cool and keeps away from the bad affect of heat. Nearly90 % of Watermelon is water and this helps the human body to fight against the shortage of water. Watermelon also contains vitamin A and vitamin C which is very useful for protecting against cancer and heart diseases.
Muskmelon- Muskmelon which contains plenty of water, helps to protect against dehydration. Due to its low calorie and high potassium content, it also helps in reducing weight.
Sour fruits- Sour fruits like malta, grapes and lemonhelp keep our body cool during summers. Besides being tasteful, they help in keeping the body healthy and young. Sour fruits also help in improving digestion.
Besides fruits certain vegetables also have cooling effect are useful for human body. Vegetables like Cucumber, carrots, mint etc help maintain body temperature during summers due to their high water content.

Q: USB stick shows contents of a DIFFERENT stick I'm using Xubuntu 18.04 on a Dell XPS 15 7590.  I've been having a really weird problem since I used this computer to create a bootable USB Stick so I could install Xubuntu 20.04 on a different computer.  I used this command to create the bootable USB stick:
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sda status=progress oflag=sync

Notice that I used /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1.  (And no, I didn't overwrite my system disk; the system disk is /dev/nvme0n1.)
The install stick worked great, and I successfully installed Xubuntu 20.04 on the other computer.  But now, when I insert any USB stick into my Xubuntu 18.04 Dell computer, it appears to be the install stick that I created!  It auto-mounts as an ISO filesystem, and I can even read the files, even though they definitely aren't on the USB stick that I put in.  It doesn't matter what size the USB stick is or what port I insert it into -- they all appear the same.
It seems like the stick's partition table and ISO filesystem is cached (maybe possible because this computer has 32GB RAM), and Linux is always re-using that same cache for every USB stick, regardless of the stick's serial number, label, or whatever else sticks use as identity.
Here is the lsblk of a different 4GB USB Stick (not the Xubuntu 20.04 install stick!):

As you can see, they both appear to have the "Xubuntu 20.04" label, even though they really don't.
Do you guys have any ideas?  Thanks.
Different problem, but probably related: https://support.google.com/chromebook/thread/7883827?hl=en

A: Is it possible that you've actually dd'ed into /dev/sda when the device /dev/sda wasn't recognised by the system for some reason, like you'd forgot to put it in, or the connection went funny for a minute, or something like that, so /dev/sda is now an actual file stored in /dev, instead of a special device file populated by the system?
Does ls -lga /dev/sd* still show sda even when the USB drives have been removed? Or is it gone like you'd expect until one's plugged in. Also do multiple extra /dev/sd* devices pop up when you plug one in? Could it be that it's assigning new drives to sdb, sdc etc as expected, but still mounting that /dev/sda image file only when another hardware drive is detected? A way to tell between regular and device files is whether the owner shows "disk" or "root"
!! - pretty much the entire next paragraph has potential for data loss, so be double-sure there's nothing on the USB that you want, double-check root, take backups etc!!
If the /dev/sda seems to exist as a file on its own regardless of whether there's a USB in, and you're certain it's not root or another file system with important stuff on, just try rm /dev/sdaing it. If it only exists when there's a USB in, and there is no other sdb/sdc/sd[etc] being made when one's inserted, something may have gone wrong on the device's partition table. You can create a new one using fdisk(mbr)/gdisk(gpt)/gparted(graphical/both) but that will cause data loss.
A last path of investigation, how does ls /dev/disk/by-id/ change when you add/remove usb drives in the current state?

Q: Folder layout created during Python installation In the main folder where Python is installed there are
Python26
  -DLLs
  -Doc
  -include
  -Lib
  -libs
  -Scripts
  -tcl
  -Tools

What is each of these supposed to be?  Why is there libs and Libs?  Why do some things go in Lib\site-packages like Django and others like sqlite3 in Lib?  An explanation of how things are decided or a pointer to an article would be helpful if possible.

A: DLLs: contains the Dynamic Link Libraries (windows only) for python and its extensions. only important if you're extending or embedding python
-Doc: Python documentation
-include: include files for extending python
-Lib: the python libraries (things like pickle, email, cgi, etc.)
-libs: Not quite sure about this one. I think it's mostly the c/c++ parts of python extensions
-Scripts: Useful scripts (easy_install and the like)
-tcl: For the tkinter gui library
-Tools: More useful scripts.
The reason that sqlite3 is in Lib and django is in Lib/site-packages is that sqlite3 is a builtin module. Django, on the other hand, is a extension to python, installed separately from python.

Q: How to increase the json size limit for ASP.NET WebAPI Post call? My form on the page is a little too large. It collects the monthly measurement data. Please take a look at the sample:
{
"Year":2013,
"Month":3,
"Records":[
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/1/2013","RiverSection":5,"UserNumber":56},
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/1/2013","RiverSection":7,"UserNumber":200},
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/1/2013","RiverSection":8,"UserNumber":556},
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/2/2013","RiverSection":5,"UserNumber":56},
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/2/2013","RiverSection":7,"UserNumber":200},
    ...
    ...
    {"Id":0,"Date":"3/31/2013","RiverSection":7,"UserNumber":200}
}

So I am posting the big data to an APIController.
I works fine in my local machine using the Visual Studio debugger server. But after I uploaded the code to the server (IIS 6). It gives a 500 Internal Server Error.
I tried posting some sample data and checked the length of the stringified json.
In one sample data set, the length of my json is 5743, and I got a "success". But if the json size goes up to 17345, I got a 500 Internal Server Error.
So I tried to increase the limit of json. Base on this post
In Web.Config:
<system.web.extensions>
<scripting>
  <webServices>
    <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="5000000">
    </jsonSerialization>
  </webServices>
</scripting>
</system.web.extensions>

But it is not working.
There is another answer, using:
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
serializer.MaxJsonLength = Int32.MaxValue;

But where should we place this code? in Global.asax?
Please note I am using an IIS 6. So is it a problem? How can I correctly increase the limit of json size so that my data can hit the WebApi action?
Thank you for any assistance.

A: Try adding the aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers under appSettings in web.config
<add key="aspnet:MaxJsonDeserializerMembers" value="20000"/>

Source:
An ASP.NET request that has lots of form keys, files, or JSON payload members fails with an exception

Q: How to add custom ColorFunction in FillingStyle with Opacity I want to plot a series of lines with one half-space filled for each line. By setting opacity to something less than 1, I want to make the overlaps stand out. What I have looks something like this:
Plot[Table[x + a, {a, 0, 5}], {x, -1/2, 1/2},
 RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, y < 5],
 Filling -> 5, FillingStyle -> Directive[Opacity[0.25]]]

This is fine. Now I want to also shade the colors for each half space in a particular way. Instead of the flat shading for each at present, say I want to shade it by the y value. I.e., if the flat shade color is blue, the shade of blue is scaled by y (0 most intense or 5 most intense doesn't matter). So at the first overlap, it automatically becomes 2y, 3y when two half-spaces overlay.
How do I do this?

A: You could try ParametricPlot. For example
ParametricPlot[
 Table[{s, i + s/2 + t}, {i, 0, 2}], {s, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 3},
 Mesh -> False, PlotStyle -> Automatic,
 ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
 PlotRange -> {Automatic, {0, 3}},
 ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, s, t},
   Directive[Opacity[0.2], ColorData["NeonColors"][y/3]]],
 AspectRatio -> 1]

Result:
