Andrea Huser est une vététiste, triathlète et athlète suisse née le  à Alt Sankt Johann, et morte le .  Coureuse d'ultra-trail à la fin de sa carrière sportive, elle remporte notamment la Diagonale des Fous en 2016 et 2017, année où elle remporte également l'Ultra-Trail World Tour 2017.

Biographie
Andrea Huser est une athlète des montagnes qui recherche des expériences extrêmes. Championne d'Europe en 2002 et quatrième des championnat du monde en 2004 de cross-country marathon en VTT. Elle pratiqua par la suite des triathlons comme ses deux victoires à l'Inferno Triathlon (2011, 2012) ou sa médaille de bronze aux championnats d'Europe de triathlon d'hiver en 2012 derrière la titrée Tchèque Héléna Erbenová et la Norvégienne Borghild Løvset où on découvre ses qualités d'endurance en ski de fond cette fois. Elle finit sa carrière en tant que coureuse d'ultra-trail : elle remporte notamment deux fois le Grand Raid (2016 et 2017) et deux fois l'Eiger Ultra Trail (2016 et 2017), devenant ainsi double championne suisse de trail. Elle est vice-championne de l'Ultra-Trail World Tour 2016.

Elle meurt lors d'un accident sur les hauts de Saas-Fee, à la suite d'une chute de près de 140 mètres après avoir glissé sur un ruisseau verglacé. S'entraînant pour le trail-running, elle ne donnait plus signe de vie depuis plusieurs jours.

Plumbing vents are in fact vertical pipes going from water and sewer pipes, through the walls, and then up and out through the roofing of the house. These vents let air into the piping which hold pressure in balance and helps everything to proceed along the piping easily and quickly. These vents can without difficulty become blocked, however, which could cause plumbing clogs. Plumbing blocks can manifest in a number of ways which include bad smells, slow drains, and backups. Drain and sewer line clogs happen frequently and for several reasons, however there are some indications to keep an eye out for if you are worried a plumbing vent may be blocked.
Many of these are simply dealt with, although certain issues, including rust, are more complicated. Plumbing vents are much like any other pipe and, after awhile, will probably need to be swapped out because of deterioration. It's recommended to be familiar with exactly how old your pipes are so you know when that time could possibly be drawing near.
There are three major signals a plumbing blockage is being brought on by a vent blockage; toilets gurgling if flushed, slow drains, and sewer gas smells. Although these troubles could, however, be a result of various variables, a plumbing vent clog may be an easy mend for many. As noted earlier, generally with vent obstructions, fixes are not as upsetting as having to replace a pipe or whole vent system. When a gurgling commode is the issue, this is most likely a good sign. In nearly all instances, gurgling toilets don't progressively become worse, it just will begin gurgling some day before it gets fixed. The gurgling is commonly brought on by a blockage in the entry of the line such as a bird's home or foliage. This problem develops because insufficient air is getting into the plumbing by means of the plumbing vent causing too much pressure. When you go to flush the commode the water is combating the pressure whenever it's attempting to go down the drain. Slow drains may be the result of several plumbing troubles, nevertheless the plumbing vent becoming clogged might cause this too. For the very same reason as the commode making a gurgling sound when it is being pushed down a drain with high pressure, the other drains will drain more slowly. Other drains at home aren't getting forced down, so they're not needing to fight the high pressure inside the pipes, the water merely flows down the drain at a reduced speed, if a blockage from the vent is to blame. An awful smell of sewer gas is another concern that may be a result of a blocked vent or it can be a result of different things.
The best action to take if you are experiencing one of these 3 problems is to have an expert have a look at the vent entrance on the roof. In the event the pipe looks good, then, at least, the vent can be ruled out. The most beneficial preventative care for plumbing vents is to pay attention to the roofing to be certain there are no over hanging limbs and remember how old the plumbing is in your home.

Afghanistan: Taliban arrests professor who criticized senior official
The Taliban arrested a Kabul university professor who gained national fame for berating a senior official on live television, a sign of the intensification of the crackdown on critics of The new Afghan regime.
Faizullah Jalal, professor of political science and law at Kabul University, was arrested on Saturday, weeks after confronting a Taliban official during a debate on Afghanistan's largest television station, Tolo. Tackling the extremist Taliban regime, he called Mohammad Naeem, spokesperson for the Taliban political bureau in Doha, a "terrorist" and "calf", an Afghan insult to people with little intelligence.
Chief Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid confirmed Mr. Jalal's arrest on Twitter, calling the professor a "fanatic" who has used social media to entice people. Mr Mujahid posted screenshots of a social media account displaying anti-Taliban messages on behalf of the professor.

Mr Jalal's family members, who operate his official Twitter account, said the account in the screenshots was fake. Mr Jalal's daughter, Hasina, told the Wall Journal that the family had not been able to contact the professor since Saturday afternoon local time.
In the weeks since taking power in August, the Taliban have repeatedly stated that they support the free media and have mostly refrained from jailing critics, even as dozens of former government officials and members of the security forces were shot dead, often by unknown assailants.

Q: Adding an existing user to a group (JavaScript) Seems simple right ?
Well, for the current user, it is, but when looking for a specific one :
https://www.google.fr/search?rlz=1C1GCEA_enFR779FR779&ei=ihWYWorCIoHxUpT0o7AO&q=sp+js+get+user+-current&oq=sp+js+get+user
Nothing.
I'm taking inputs from a listForm using JS, one of the fields requires the client to type in an existing username
When getting the value from the list I get a collection of SP.FieldUserValue wich only contains the ID and name of the user
Is there a way to add every user in this collection to a specific group ?
What I've tried so far :

*

*Putting each field value directly in the group with myGroup.get_users().addUser() - "The LoginName cannot be null/empty or 256+ caracters"

*Retreiving the User using myWeb.get_siteUserInfoList().getItemById(myField..get_lookupId()); - "Cannot read property 'toString' of null"

*Retreiving the User the same way then using myWeb.ensureUser(user) to create it if it doesnt exist(even if it obviously does) - The code executes without any exeption... and nothing is put in the group

I printed out to check if every variable (group, web, user, even functions) were null, and none of them were, they all had the correct info
I'm kinda lost... any ideas ?
Here's my last code version :
ApplyPermissions()
{
    //Many commented out code
    this.SetupGroup('Visiteurs_x0020__x0028_Lecture_x', 'Visiteurs');
}

SetupGroup(value, suffix)
{
    var users = this.requestData.get_item(value);

    var groupInfo = new SP.GroupCreationInformation();
    groupInfo.set_title(this.subweb.get_title() + ' - ' + suffix);
    groupInfo.set_description('Ca marche presque correctement !');

    var newGroup = this.subweb.get_siteGroups().add(groupInfo);
    var testGroup = this.web.get_siteGroups().add(groupInfo);

    //this.AddUsersToGroup(users, newGroup);
    this.AddUsersToGroup(users, testGroup);

    return newGroup;
}

AddUsersToGroup(users, group)
{
    users.forEach((user)=>{
        var userID = user.get_lookupId();
        var userInfo = this.web.get_siteUserInfoList().getItemById(userID);
        console.log(group.get_users().addUser);

        this.context.load(userInfo);
        this.context.executeQueryAsync(()=>{
            group.get_users().addUser(userInfo);
            //I already tried putting another Query here to save, nope
        }, QueryError);
    });
}

The ultimate goal is to add the user to a subweb next, any help is extremely appreciated

A: Finally...
Here's the final code :
It is necessary to use ensureUser and call another query after adding each user
AddUsersToGroup(users, group)
{
    users.forEach((user)=>{
        var userID = user.get_lookupId();
        var userInfo = this.web.get_siteUserInfoList().getItemById(userID);

        this.context.load(userInfo);
        this.context.executeQueryAsync(()=>{
            var newUser = this.web.ensureUser(userInfo.get_item('Name'));
            group.get_users().addUser(newUser);

            this.context.load(group);
            this.context.executeQueryAsync(()=>{console.log(newUser)}, QueryError);
        }, QueryError);
    });
}

I'll still accept any other answer that does the trick in an easier way, if there's one

It's hard to avoid "service" in Abu Dhabi. Labor is (disturbingly) cheap and it seems sometimes that there is always someone offering to wash your car, clean your apartment, carry your bags.
But the other day in Lulu (a big grocery store chain here), I saw "service" taken to a new level: a worker unloading a shopper's grocery cart at the check-out line. She was on the phone, he was plopping things onto the conveyer belt; they both seemed oblivious to one another.

The other night after dinner, Caleb waved me into the kitchen. "I have to talk to you in private," he whispered.
We went into the kitchen and he pulled me down to whisper. "Today at school, E. told me I was hot," he said, cheeks pink. "She said she liked me like this," and he waggled his hand back and forth.
That ineffable Calebian shrug. "I don't know," he said, and ran back to his dish of ice cream.
So there you go. My son is object of some girl's affection. Already.
Since this conversation, "hot" has become something of a joke in the house, including Liam's mockery of my new sneakers, purchased in hopes of getting shredded by Jillian Michaels. Who I hate, by the way, and who I am still convinced is the Svedka fem-bot.
These are my sneakers: are they that bad?
I mean, okay, they're black and pink, but is that so terrible? Liam says not only are they not hot, they are so awful that I am an embarassment to him when I wear them. To which I said, kid, you're only ten, and I'm your mother. We've got at least another full decade of me embarrassing you.
He seemed unimpressed by my logic and continues to flinch whenever I put on my spiffy sneakers.

The latest release of the Oracle Database is here. On Unlearning and Modeling. Check out the new features here. Question and Answer. Whilst you are here, check out some content from the AskTom team: Latest Followup. You Asked Hi Tom, Assume the below case: And in the explain plan I am seeing 'pickler fetch' which is fine. My question here is: Like in this scenario I want the date column to be indexed collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g memory, so that we can perform 'Index Range Scan'?
The reason I am asking is, when I ran the explain plan, my Estimated rows and Actual rows are way off for this and this is resulting in query taking more time to execute. I am considering a global temporary table, but I am yet to test this approach.
There is not a native way to do this. If you did go down this path, you could then also use some of the facilities described by Adrian Billington to set cardinality dynamically. See http: I'm a fan of global temporary tables, but you might have similar issues - ie, first execution puts say 10 rows into the GTT, and later executions put say 10, rows into it.
Unless you hard parse each time, you query may be optimized for Hope this helps. Write a Review. Ravi from BA, India. Thanks for the tip, I have dropped the idea of GTT: I tried dynamic sampling but surprisingly it did not help: Am having serious doubts about this technique but it's worth a try I guess. November 16, - 4: Collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g from BA India. I am an idiot, I was typing the syntax for dynamic sampling wrongly all the time!!!

Control of the adaptive optimizations has altered in See here. Cardinality feedback was introduced in Oracle Database 11g Release 2. When the optimizer generates an execution plan mcgrath ymca childwatch hours presence of missing statistics, stale statistics, complex predicates or complex operators may trigger the optimizer to monitor the cardinality of operations in the plan.
Once the execution is complete, if there is a significant difference between the estimated and actual cardinalities, the actual cardinalities are stored in the SGA for later use and the statement is marked as reoptimizable. On next execution the statement is reoptimized using the stored cardinalities, allowing a better plan to be determined.
Cardinality feedback is statement specific and is lost if the instance is restarted or the statement is aged out of the shared pool. In Oracle Database 12c, cardinality feedback has been renamed to statistics feedback. The following code creates a pipelined table function to allow us to demonstrate statistics feedback.
We know the optimizer always estimates the cardinality of pipelined table functions based on the database block size, so we can expect an incorrect estimate of the cardinality of a query against the pipelined table function. The following query returns 10 rows, but the optimizer estimates rows. If we run the statement again, we can see a more accurate cardinality estimate and a note telling us statistics feedback was used. Notice also the change in the value of the child number.
The documentation suggests the detection of cardinality misestimates will also result in the production of SQL plan directives see last paragraph of point 1which myself and others have misunderstood as meaning statistics feedback is persisted in the SQL plan directive. Collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g can check for the presence of SQL plan directives as follows. As we can see, in this case no SQL plan directives were created.
We will discuss this point a little more later. In this case, the optimizer decides if a statement should run in parallel and what degree of parallelism DOP is appropriate. On completion, the actual performance of the statement is compared to the estimated performance from the initial optimization phase.
If there is a significant difference between them, the actual performance statistics are stored as statistics feedback and the statement is marked as reoptimizable. Collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g next collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g the statement is executed the statistics feedback is used to select a more appropriate DOP.
This section is mostly speculation, based on my experience of using statistics feedback and speaking with others. Sachtler video 14 spreeder am not a optimizer developer, so I can not guarantee the following information is true. If I get any evidence to the contrary I will happily post it here.
I previously made the statement that statistics feedback does not get persisted as SQL plan directives. Although that seems to be true, the situation is a little more subtle. Statistics feedback is an indication that the optimizer has made a bad choice.
Typically these bad choices are because it is missing vital information when deciding on an execution plan. Statistics feedback can be used to feed back into the reoptimzation, but it doesn't actually solve the initial problem. The base statistics are still not representative! SQL plan directives are "extra notes" that can prevent the optimizer making the same mistakes in future.
The example in this article uses a pipelined table function to demonstrate statistics feedback. Dynamic sampling of a pipelined table function is a really bad idea, as it will query the pipelined table function once to get the cardinality estimate, then again to process the actual statement.
As a result, creating collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g SQL plan directive that suggests dynamic sampling of a pipelined table function would be a really bad idea and it seems the optimizer team have avoided this situation, which is good.
There seem to be some interesting interactions between statistics feedback and SQL plan directives when they are both collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g as a result of cardinality misestimates. Since SQL plan directives are only persisted periodically, this means the reoptimization you get could be totally different depending on how long you wait between the first and second execution of the SQL statement, making the outcome rather unpredictable.

Roly porter funkysouls s from India.
B6 AND: Regards Nikhil B. So are we saying it gonna cause performance overhead?. Hope i am not bothering you too much. November 30, - 1: I read collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g thread where you said "use hints as tigo pesa application last resort".
However, I ran into a tuning issue that required a hint to solve and want to know if you think I could possibly solve this without a hint. The issue: The output parameter is a ref cursor. Hence, the unique index would be the best way to service the query.
The problem - the cost of the full table scan is lower than the cost of a unique scan, so the CBO goes with the full collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g scan. Hence, performance is very slow. I believe the reason the second explain plan has such a high cost is because the CBO wrongly assumed that the table function would return a large number of rows.
Thus, I rewrote the query with the cardinality hint to reflect the usual number of id's passed from the jsp: Can I fix this problem without using either the index hint or the cardinality hint? Shauna Johnson from Vancouver, WA. I've often looked to your site to answer challenging questions, and it is an invaluable resource so thank you!
I looked through the threads and I'm sure the postings are relevant, but I felt it never answered the root of the issue. When I did a show autot, I found that it was set to autotrace on the explain plan. It was enabled still after previous executions of it.
In the labs I'm doing, it's one or the other - either use a trace or an Explain Plan. I know this is an old post, collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g I found my way here by researching the issue so I thought I'd add this in case it comes up again for someone.
Thanks, Shauna. Javier from Reston, VA. Based on our execution plans and trace files, we see this operation when querying access restricted tables. This, of course, is expected and is done as a hash join against the results returned by the function. The function is then called as many times as the nested loop operation runs. Where a report might take a couple seconds, it will take minutes to complete because the function collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g called thousands of times.
These reports are very long and complex but below collection iterator pickler fetch oracle 11g a sample where I forced the nested loop query takes too long without additional predicate. I am not the developer of these reports but I am doing my best to help them tune it. I can force them to use hash joins and the query time is excellent. There are, unfortunately, thousands of these reports with varying degrees of performance degradation because of this function and developers are wondering if there are other alternatives.
Is there a way to tell the optimizer to use hash joins when dealing with this funciton? Thoughts greatly appreciated. Vikas Chopkar from India. HiPlease guide me Whether table function will improve performance or degrade the performance. As from some website i came to know that Table function is good for OLTP system and Push the data as soon as it get single row to Frontend. Please help me in clearing the confusion.

experiences in both spheres with a lively pen and a keen sense of humour. Almost every Marine officer has a sense of humour, naval as to basis, but usually tinged with a slightly sardonic flavour which lends it additional piquancy. Experts tell us that they can even distinguish between the humour of the Red and the Blue Marine. The former is perhaps more racy, but the latter gains by a slightly elusive quality. The difference is something like that which exists between the jests of the under- graduates' table in Hall and the more proleptic shafts of the Dons—or like that between Dickens and Thackeray. Irony is always a marked feature of Blue Marine humour, and Sir George Aston is a typical Blue Marine in this respect. Withal he has nothing unkindly to say of the 250 people, more or less, whom he mentions in these pages, which is rather refreshing in these days of virulent recollections. Altogether, he has given us an exceedingly attractive addition to the literature of reminiscence.
"I was to be responsible for defence policy with the War Office, for detailed knowledge of the defences of all the harbours of the British Empire, and for issue of information on the subject to Their Lordships and to the Fleet ; the matter was rather pressing because the naval officers most concerned knew nothing of the defences, and little of the resources, of the bases they might require to use for shelter or replenishment. There was another rather serious gap in their information ; they did not know the power of the weapons that an enemy might be expected to use against them in action, so 'all foreign guns (at sea and in coast defences) and torpedoes, mines, &c., and experiments connected therewith ' were added to the subjects upon which I must obtain and supply full information. Electric lights and the armour protection of foreign ships also came into my pro- vince. To this wide range of subjects was added subsequently a short but somewhat pregnant heading : 'British and Foreign Trade : Defence and Attack.' This subject also was confided as an extra to the individual charge of a young subaltern of Marines. The story reads- like fiction in these days. Looking back at those times I suppose that British sea-power had been unchallenged for so long that every one had forgotten that it came within the range of possibility for the British Navy to be called upon to fight against any other Navy."

Each jacket, after the letter had been inserted,. was folded lengthwise ; a Sort of ring of paper was then slipped round it, so as to hold it round the middle like a belt. I do not know the origin of this practice ; it worked out somewhat as follows : The official whose upinion was invited first slipped off the paper belt, then straight. ened out the foolscap sheet so as to be able to read the contents, arid sometimes as many as twenty letters in similar jackets and belts, were attached for him to read, and he had to repeat the same process for each one to gather its contents. I once calculated that the average official in the War Office in those times must have spent the equivalent of three weeks in every year in taking off tffe belts and straightening out the papers before he could read them."
" The official returns showed that in case of emergency somewhere about 80,000 tons would be obtainable for the Fleet by purchase in Malta. It seemed a good idea to check this figure, so one day I rode round the various stores and looked in. There was scarcely any coal to be seen. The next step was to visit each merchant and ask him whether he could supply within twenty- four hours the amount which he had given as his average stock. Seeing a chance of doing business, A. said : I not got it, signor, but I get it from B. by to-morrow.' Visits to B., C., D., and E. produced similar answers ; each would get the coal from the other, and I doubt whether there was an appreciable amount ot coal in the whole of their stores at that time. Reliance on such statistics might have held up the whole strategical plans for roveral days, and days mean much in naval strategy."

Six months ago I was caught between two worlds. I wanted to go but at the same time I wanted to stay. Our family of four was planning to move from Deep in the Heart of Texas to the Magnolia State of Mississippi. The almost move – a symbol of rejection, heartbreak, despair, and new beginnings – caused a battle between the things and the people and I love the most.
I think the African Dust Cloud has come to Dallas.
So earlier this summer, there really was an African Dust Cloud and its particles made their way to central and south Texas. In non-Texan speak that means San Antonio and Houston. Well…maybe Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Except I did not hear about it from anyone in Austin, so I'm not quite sure about them. Christie will know because she lives there. I think she will comment below this post if she knows about it.
I heard about the African Dust Cloud on a podcast between Big Mama and Boo Mama. They are mom bloggers who I stalk whose blogs I read regularly. They are blogging friends and once every so often they host a podcast and chat. And stalkers readers like me can listen and laugh, because if they weren't bloggers they'd be comediennes.
Big Mama (by the way, her real name is Melanie) lives in San Antonio. Earlier this summer, she mentioned on the podcast that there was a dust cloud in Africa and its particles came all the way to Texas and her allergies were acting up. I Googled it because I did think it sounded a little crazy (not so crazy that I wouldn't use it myself) and wouldn't you know it….she was right!
The very next week, I had a sinus infection. Then Cheryl's son's allergies started acted up. And my kids' allergies starting acting up. And Jada had a sinus infection. And I bet you had allergy and sinus problems, especially if you live in Dallas.
So I told Cheryl about the African Dust Cloud, and then I told her that it was true because Big Mama said it. I've found that sometimes if my source is another blogger, that establishes validity.
But there was nothing about African Dust Cloud in Dallas news. So I couldn't write about it on the Best Southwest Moms Blog. Because we have journalistic blogging standards there.
Well now, a month has passed, but more friends have sinus issues. I know because they put it on Facebook. And second to mom bloggers, Facebook posts are the next best source a girl could have. At least when it comes to African Dust Clouds.
So I spent part of my evening researching the whole African Dust Cloud issue of 2013 and I couldn't find anything. Well, anything that said we could suffer from it in Dallas. But I KNOW it's there. Then I gave up because I didn't want to promote this whole dust cloud thing if it wasn't true.
But while I was scrolling on Facebook, I now see posts saying "Something going around," and "I need new sinuses," and "Benadryl is my friend." And I want to tell them about the African Dust Cloud. I really do. Because I believe that even if there aren't as many particles, we are still affected by it here in Dallas.
So that's where I am with the African Dust Cloud. I'm curious though, how have your allergies acted this summer?
Or you'll fall for anything. That's what my parents used to tell me. And that's exactly what Texas State Senator Wendy Davis did a few weeks ago. She stood for more than 11 hours on a filibuster for the abortion bill. And it died…until the next session. However, it impressed me that she felt that strongly about women's health care that she did that.
Armed with her backbrace and her tennis shoes, she did something, I don't think I could do.
I really believe in the cause…but standing non stop for 11 hours? It kind of makes you go hmmm. How can I teach the Littles that this is the kind of strength and determination we must have to truly make a difference in the world? Furthermore, how can I teach myself?
It's sad to say, but I have fallen into the check-writing trap. When I want to support those who are truly making a difference, I give a donation. And sometimes money isn't the answer. Sometimes, we have to be willing to stand, or walk, or canvass, or whatever needs to be done.
So while I'm still trying to figure out how that's going to look for our family, I did take about 2 hours out of my day to stand. There was a rally for the women's health care movement in Dallas and I went. While I realize that didn't accomplish much on the fight, it did spark something in me to make me committed to doing something more.
And not to mention,I got the chance to meet some pretty cool people.
So that's one of my goals for the fall. I'm thinking it will carry in to 2014. I'm going to stand.
Christie and I at my 40th birthday party last year.
I moved to Texas in 1995. One of the first people I met when I arrived is Christie. Since then, our friendship has grown from planning weddings to having babies, to sending our children to private schools and then public schools…and the list continues. We've planned birthday parties together, we've scrapbooked together, we've extreme couponed together, and now we are taking on a new challenge together.
She is moving to Central Texas. I live in North Texas. There's a three hour drive between those two regions. And while I am excited because the Three Amigos and I have a new place to visit, I am trying not to be sad. Really I am. So I'm not going to talk about what I'm going to miss, I'm going to talk about what I'm gaining.
Her son starts high school in the fall. And he will be playing football. And since the infatuation with high school football in Texas is statewide, we will catch as many of his games as we can. I'm thinking at least two.
She's keeping her job! Her job in Dallas, that is. That means that she'll have to come up here for official work meetings and such. And when she comes, she will need a place to stay. I'm thinking at least once, that place needs to be my house. I'm just saying.
I'm thinking she'll blog about her adventures. I like it when my real life friends also double as my blogging friends. And she is a blogger. So, we'll all be able to read about life in Central Texas.
We're connected by social media, texting, and internet word games.
But I still have that twinge. The little twinge that is going to miss her. The little twinge that hits me in my gut when I have to list an emergency contact on the kids' school registration forms. Because she's always been about 20-30 minutes away, and now she's 3 hours away.
Ok…I can do this…we can do this….we can, right?


A warm, sunny day in October. Probably the last day of me wearing shorts (outside!) in 2018. This was the first of three consecutive weekends in the Big Smoke and, with the weather being as nice as it was, a trip to a green space beckoned. A journey across London from North to South, as a combination of the Victoria line, Northern Line and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) took me from Walthamstow Central, across the River Thames, to Greenwich.
I've been here before. And, I enjoyed it before too. Granted, it has tourist attractions that draw people away from Central London, but it's much less chaotic. In fact, I find it quite a relaxing spot. No skyscrapers and some lovely open spaces to enjoy.
There was no specifically designed pub crawl route. It was simply a plan to walk from the historic Cutty Sark to the Greenwich Peninsula and the Emirates Air Line. No, I wasn't then planning on travelling to the middle east! This is the scenic cable car route that takes you back across North of the Thames again.
You don't have to step far from the DLR station at Cutty Sark to start stumbling across pubs. The Spanish Galleon (Shepherd Neame) and the Gate Clock (Wetherspoon) are both nearby. But, it was another pub that called me towards it, for the first pint of the day. The Gipsy Moth, which is where I also began my pub journey on a previous visit here.
The location is ideal to attract tourists and locals alike. A stone's throw from the Cutty Sark, large indoor dining area and outdoor seating, a food and drinks menu with offerings to quench the thirst and feed the hunger of all.
It felt appropriate my first beer of the day should be a local treat. On keg, they had offerings from local Meantime Brewery. On cask, though, they had a Fuller's staple that I couldn't resist – London Pride. I have a real soft spot for Fuller's and this pint didn't disappoint. The right temperature, full of flavour and it even had a foamy head! I didn't spot a sparkler on the swan neck of the hand pull, but it certainly poured like it had one.
That pint gave me enough time to soak up a bit of atmosphere in the Gipsy Moth and start to formulate a slightly better plan for the crawl. The Gipsy Moth was alive, lots of people taking advantage of the warm day to sit outside. As well as the usual food menu, today they had the barbecue going. An October barbecue!
In the beer garden, there was plenty of greenery and flowered hanging baskets. A nice sight at a time of year when my garden begins to lose its vibrant colour and energy.
The walk to Greenwich Park was also lined with tempting pubs with Cask Marque plaques. Too tempting to ignore. So, my walk to the Plume of Feathers was delayed, as I took in the delights of the Kings Arms (Greene King) and Greenwich Tavern.
Like the Moth, these pubs were also buzzing with life. Tourists resting their weary feet after walking around Greenwich park. Locals enjoying the beer gardens of both venues. A guy from Leeds, eager to continue his Greenwich beer adventure.
The Kings Arms was standard Greene King fair. A nice food menu and selection of Greene King Ales with some supporting guests. For the first time, too, I saw Greene King's 'Beer Academy' initiative have beer on cask hand pull. In the end, I opted for St Austell's Proper Job. Disappointingly, it was on the turn – vinegar. There was no fuss at the bar is I swapped it for a guilty pleasure of mine, Greene King's own Abbot Ale. This was in much better nick.
At the Greenwich Tavern, I came across an unexpected delight. Adnams, and lots of it. Ghost Ship on cask, Mosaic Pale and Ease Up IPA on keg. There would have been more too, but it looked like I was a little late to the party. Lighthouse and Broadside with their clips turned around on the hand pull.
I bought a half of all three and I started a mini-Adnams party. Sadly, once again, a beer was on the turn – Ghost Ship. It's very rare I find this, one of my all-time favourite beers, on cask. So, I returned my half with sadness and ordered the house cask ale instead.
The imaginatively named Greenwich Ale didn't hit the hop craving I had from almost getting Ghost Ship. However, it was a very tasty beer in its own right. A nice, malt-focused ale, with nut and caramel dominating the flavour. I couldn't find out who brewed this for the pub. A mystery, for now.
It was time to embark on the walk across Greenwich Park. My regular pit stops on the way there hadn't meant I'd missed enjoying the nice weather. The park was full of families and, although the weather remained great, the piles of leaves told the true story of Autumn.
Enjoying dragging my feet through mountains of leaves, I actually missed the park's exit to the Plume of Feathers. A quick cut back on myself corrected that.
The Plume of Feathers is a gem. A local country pub in an urban space. Homely, with character and a top selection of beers to chose from. And, luckily for me, more Adnams! The Plume of Feathers continued where the Greenwich Tavern had started. This time, though, it was the turn of Southwold Bitter and Dry Hopped Lager. Fantastic!
With a few beers now consumed, pangs of hunger began to take over my thirst for beer. Fortunately, I had scouted ahead of the Plume to the next destination, which offered great beer and home-cooked pizza – The Crown.
Another delightful pub, with carpets, a wooden bar and traditional pub seating. What set this pub apart from the others though, was the aroma of cooking pizza, which drew my eyes to a properly fired Pizza oven. When I say properly, this was a traditional pizza oven. No metal here.
On the bar, another good selection of ales. I opted for another locally brewed beer, Truman's Zephyr. Dubbed a pale ale, this beer had much more of the flavour and aroma attributes of a red ale. Moreish malt taste and mouthfeel that was balanced with citrus hops. A lovely accompaniment to a home-made American Hot.
The warmth and brightness of the day had now become dark and cool. The wind, earlier refreshing, was now a pest on my bare legs. However, the food had left me re-energised and I made one last stop before my flight across the Thames. Greenwich's own Meantime Brewing Company.
All the previous pubs had the charms of a traditional British pub. The tap room at Meantime, was a complete contrast. Benches, tall tables, bright and airy, with the brewhouse just metres from the bar. This had all the hallmarks of a modern brewery tap room.
I love drinking beer from the source. I find the freshness unmatched and, it's one of the few times a brewery gets to serve its own beer how it wants and expects it to be served. Alas, no cask ale. This was all keg, cans and bottles. No issue for me personally, but something a beer fan should be aware of before coming here.
As with many modern bars, there was a taster option available. Four third pints for £8. Perfect to satisfy the beer ticker in me. I took little time in ordering London Helles, Anytime IPA, London IPA and their flagship Pale Ale. The latter was tank fresh.
Unusually for me, the Helles stood out the best. I tend to find the style quite thin and lacking the big flavours my palate so often demands. But, perhaps a day of such variety had made me crave an easy drinking, sessionable lager.
With time and night drawing on, my check-in at the Emirates and return trip to Walthamstow was calling. This had been another trip to Greenwich that was fun, enjoyable and relaxing. Well worth the day trip.


In June 2013, the new green residential area called "Bilkerhöfe – Färberstrasse" was completed in Düsseldorf. These 219 apartments, built around an old military hospital in 14,500 m2 area have been equipped with the Aereco ventilation system. The building won the DGNB gold medal (Office of Environment and Urban Development of Germany).

Though all four performed together in either Rites of Spring or One Last Wish, Brief Weeds was a very different type of thing – spontaneous home recorded music that was heavily informed by '60s psychedelic pop.
Paint Branch - I Wanna Live
After a series of production delays, Paint Branch's debut album I Wanna Live -- which was released digitally last year -- is finally available on LP. The record reunites Chris Richards and John Davis, both formerly of Q and Not U, for 11 vocal harmony-heavy and acoustic guitar-driven songs. Recorded by Chad Clark, of Beauty Pill, and limited to 200 copies courtesy of Cricket Cemetery Records.

What Is The Lacey Act?
The Lacey Act is currently in Phase IV, which was implemented on April 1, 2010. It is important for all exporters and importers of wood and plant containing matter entering into the U. S. to know how this will affect you.
The Lacey Act has been amended to make it illegal to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce, any plant or wood product -- with very limited exceptions -- taken or traded in violation of domestic or international laws.
Under the Lacey Act amendments included in the 2008 Farm Bill, imports of certain plants and plant products must be accompanied by an import declaration that contains, among other things, the scientific name of the plant, the value of the importation, the quantity of the plant and the name of the country from where the plant was harvested. For paper and paperboard products containing recycled content, the declaration also must include the average percent of recycled content without regard for species or country of harvest. USDA began phasing in its enforcement of this requirement in December 2008. Phases II and III of the Lacey Act became effective in 2009.
The underlying ban on the importation of illegal wood and wood products has been in effect since May 2008. The phase in process refers to the required documentation that must be provided for certain articles upon importation to the United States.
List of products and HTS headings currently affected:
4401 - fuel wood
4402 - wood charcoal
4403 - rough wood
4404 - poles, stakes
4406 - rail sleepers
4407 - wood sawn or chipped
4408 - veneering
4409 - moldings
4412 - plywood, veneered panels (some exceptions)
4414 - wooden frames
4417 - tool handles
4418 - joinery, doors
4419 - tableware, kitchenware
4420 - marquetry, caskets, statuettes
4421 - other articles of wood
6602 - walking sticks, whips, crops
8201 - hand tools
9201 - pianos
9202 - other stringed instruments

General Parts (U) Ltd v Kunnal Pradip Karia (CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 266 OF 2013.) [2013] UGCA 20 (11 November 2013);
IN THE COURT OF APPEAL
HOLDEN AT KAMPALA
CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 266 OF 2013.
(Arising from Civil Appeal No. 60 of 2010)
GENERAL PARTS (U) LTD:::::::::::::::::::::::::: APPLICANT/APPELLANT
=VERSUS=
KUNNAL PRADIP KARIA:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RESPONDENT
BEFORE HON. JUSTICE R.A OPIO.
This application was brought by notice of motion under Rule 30 (1) (b) and (2), rule 43 (1) and (2) and rule 44 of the Judicature Act (Court of Appeal Rules). It is seeking for orders that additional evidence be taken in Civil Appeal No. 060 of 2010 arising from HCCS 223 of 2006.
The application is supported by grounds contained in affidavit of Hajji Haruna Semakula, the Managing Director of the applicant company, deponed on the 15th August 2013 but briefly are:-
The additional evidence intended to be adduced was not available at the time of hearing HCCS 223 OF 2006.
The evidence intended to be adduced will assist court to determine the dispute between the parties once and for all.
The intended additional evidence will ensure that justice is not only done but seen to be done.
The Respondent shall not be prejudiced if the application is allowed.
It is the interest of justice that this application be allowed.
The additional evidence intended to be adduced are:-
An alleged original certificate of title in respect of plot 14, South Street LRV 184, Folio 4 which the applicant claims has been in the possession of the government of Uganda (DAPCB).
A Special certificate of title in the names of Kunnal Pradip Karia, the respondent.
The respondent opposed the application interestingly without filing affidavit in reply.
Background:-
The background facts giving rise to this application is somehow interesting. The property in dispute was expropriated during the dictatorial regime of Iddi Amin Dada. In 1995 its former owners, Rajabali Valimahomed Viaya, Akbarali Valimahomed Viaya, Tajdin Alidina Valimahomed and Nurdin Alidina Valimahomed, repossessed the property on which the suit property is located and later on obtained a certificate of repossession. At that time the Applicant was a tenant in one of shops and a flat which comprise the suit premises. The Applicant remained in the premises while paying rent but subsequently defaulted. That status quo forced the former owners to obtain a warrant of distress against the Applicant to recover arrears of unpaid rent. In 2002 the former owners instituted HCCS No. 570 of 2002 against the applicant for eviction order and vacant possession of the property and rent arrears. The Applicant filed a defence and counterclaim in which the Applicant claimed for value of the improvements carried out on the suit property and the value of the goods the plaintiff (former owners) had illegally distressed.
In that suit, the applicant counterclaimed for compensation of ug. Shs. 55,000,000/= being the costs of improvements it carried out on the suit property and also sought to recover ug. Shs. 142,100,000/= being the value of the spare parts distressed from the premises in execution of the warrant of distress. Instead of pursuing the above suit to its logical conclusion in the Commercial Court, the former owners decided to sell the suit property to the respondent in 2006.
It was the contention of the Applicant that the above transaction was illegal, fraudulent, unlawful and was intended to defeat the applicant's claim for the improvements carried out in the suit property. Consequently, the Applicant sued the Respondent vide HCCS No. 223 of 2006 making the same claims for costs of improvements and repairs carried out on the suit property and the value of the goods illegally distressed upon. An attempt was made to consolidate the above suits but was successfully opposed by the defence counsel. Subsequently, when HCCS No. 223 of 2006 was fixed for hearing before the retired Lady Justice Ann Magezi, learned Counsel for the defence promptly raised a preliminary point of the law to the effect that no cause of action was disclosed by the plaintiff against the defendant (Respondent) because the defendant was not the repossessor (former owners) of the suit property. The presiding Judge agreed with the objection and ruled in favor of the Respondent as follows:-
"In conclusion the defendants' preliminary objection is therefore allowed because not having been a former owner of the suit property, he cannot be held liable under the expropriated property Act…………………………"
An appeal against the ruling of the learned Judge was preferred by the Applicant vide Civil Appeal No. 060 of 2010 and one of the major grounds of the appeal is that the respondent is responsible to compensate the applicant by virtue of the fact that he inherited all liabilities in respect of the suit property as an alleged buyer and therefore his liability is not only to be based on the fact of repossession.
An application for stay of execution of orders in HCCS No. 223 of 2006 particularly for recovery of costs and against eviction of the applicant was lodged vide Misc. Application No. 069 of 2010 which the Registrar allowed on condition that the applicant deposited shs. 156,000,000/= in court or a bank guarantee. The applicant was dissatisfied with the deposit part of the Registrar's ruling and accordingly made a reference to a single Justice of Appeal vide Ref. no. 084 of 2010 where it was held that there were no reasons for imposing such unjustifiable and harsh condition. It was the contention of the applicant that a series of investigations later on unearthed new evidence leading to this application.
Legal arguments
Both parties filed written submissions.
Moses Kugumisiriza, counsel for the applicant submitted, correctly in my view, that the suit under which the application is brought for adducing additional evidence which gave rise to Civil Appeal No. 060 of 2010 in which additional evidence is intended to be adduced, was decided on a point of law of lack of cause of action and was not dismissed as per the ruling of the Retired Lady Justice Ann Magezi dated 26/02/2010. Counsel submitted that the additional evidence they had applied for was set out in paragraph 23 (a) to the effect that while the former owners were applying for a repossession certificate to the suit premises, they went to the Land Registry and got a 6th November 1995 certified copy of the Registry copy which they used to get the repossession certificate. It was that copy which they used to file HCCS No. 570 of 2002 where they sought eviction orders which has not yet been granted.
The learned counsel submitted that under paragraph 23 (b) of the affidavit, the Registry copy clearly indicated that the property was subject to an encumbrance by the then Grindlays Bank (U) Ltd a fact which the repossessors ought to have known. The learned Counsel contented that according to paragraph 23 (c) of the affidavit, a special certificate of title was later processed and issued directly in the names of the Respondent on the ground that the original had got lost. As contained in paragraph 23 (d) counsel contented that it had been discovered that the government of Uganda had paid and retrieved the original title from Grindlays Bank (U) Ltd and it was in possession of the DAPCB. Counsel submitted further that the suit property was among the eighty (80) properties the government had retrieved in respect of which it has an interest. The learned counsel concluded that the suit property had now been allocated to the applicant in a letter dated 19/10/2012.
For the above reasons the learned counsel submitted that this was a proper case where court should have the additional evidence referred to above admitted/taken for the just disposal of the appeal and settlement of all matters arising.
The learned counsel referred this court to the case of Attorney General versus P.K Ssemogerere and others, Supreme Court, Constitutional Appeal No. 002 of 2004 which lays down the principles which court has to follow while considering an application for adducing additional evidence.
Mr. Alex Rezida who appeared for the Respondent opposed the application, contending that the alleged additional evidence had nothing to do with the appeal or Civil Suit No. 223 of 2010 from which the appeal arose. The learned counsel submitted that the substance of Civil Suit No. 223 of 2010 and the subsequent appeal it gave rise to, facts admitted by the plaintiff in paragraph 6 of the affidavit in support of the application was:
A claim for costs of improvements carried out on the aforesaid property.
The value of goods distressed upon after the applicant failed and /or refused to pay rent for part of the premises it occupied on the suit property.
The learned counsel contended that the above claims of the applicant were not about legal proprietorship of property. Counsel accordingly submitted that the additional evidence which was basically land titles pointed to questions of legal proprietorship which was neither the concern of the aforesaid Civil Suit nor the current appeal. It was accordingly the Respondent's submission that the alleged additional evidence was seeking to introduce a new cause of action, that is, the bonafides of repossession for which the applicant had no locus standi at all. The applicant was only a tenant and its claims arose from the said tenancy. It would be absurd for a tenant to start questioning legal proprietorship of the property at this stage. Moreover under paragraph 4 and 5 of the affidavit in support, the applicant clearly admitted that the property, subject of the additional evidence was indeed repossessed by its former Asian owners and no question about it arose or ought to arise in the appeal. The learned Counsel emphasized that if at all the government had paid money to Grindlays Bank (U) Ltd as alleged by the appellant, it would be the government as the aggrieved party and the one with locus to commence any action in respect to the repossessed property. The learned counsel concluded that additional evidence should only be taken in the discretion of court only in exceptional cases.
Decision of the court.
The need to adduce additional evidence has been a long time common law practice. The courts of law have long championed the doctrine that interest republiceae ut sit finis litium,- it is the interest of the state that there be an end to litigation. The background of the above doctrine is that courts should not be mired by endless litigation which would occur if litigants were allowed to adduce fresh evidence at any time during and after trial without any restrictions. On the other hand, courts must administer justice and in exceptional circumstances, new evidence should be allowed. The appellate court should weight these two interests when determining whether a party may adduce additional evidence not presented at the original trial.
The principles to be applied by the Appellate court when considering whether to call an additional evidence was laid down since decision of Lord DENNING in the case of Ladd VS Mashall [1954] IWLR 1491:-Those principles are as follows:-
It must be shown that the evidence could not have been obtained with reasonable diligence for use at the trail.
The evidence must be such that if given it would probably have an important influence on the result of the case though it need not be decisive.
The evidence must be such that as is presumably to be believed or in other words it must be apparently credible though it need not be incontrovertible.
The decision in Ladd vs Mashall was approved in Skone VS Skone [1971 IWLR 817]. In East Africa it was followed in Mzee Wanje and others vs Saikwa & others [1976-1985] I.E.A 364 (CAK) and A.G vs P.K Ssemogerere & others Constitutional Application No. 2 of 2004(SCU).
In the case of Mzee Wanje (Supra) the court of Appeal of Kenya had this to say:
"It must be shown that the new evidence could not have been obtained with reasonable diligence for use at the trial, and that it was of such weight that it was likely in the end to affect the court's decision. I consider that the same test should be applied to our rules for otherwise it would open the door to litigants leave until an appeal all sorts of material which should properly have been considered by the court of trial" Emphasis added.
In Uganda, Rule 30 of the Court of Appeal Rules grant the Court of Appeal discretionary power to hear additional evidence, for sufficient reasons. The above rule is the handmaid of Article 126 of the Constitution which advocates that in adjudicating cases the courts should apply the principle of substantive justice. That in essence means that the role of the Court of Appeal is not only about law but about justice.
Sufficient reasons were defined by the Supreme Court in Attorney General VS Paul K. Ssemogerere & others, Constitutional Application No. 2 of 2004. In that case, the Supreme Court relied on the authorities in Ladd vs Mashall and Skone VS Skone (Supra), among others, and observed that an appellate court may exercise it discretion to adduce additional evidence only in exceptional circumstances, which include:
Discovery of new and important matters of evidence which, after the exercise of due diligence, was not within the knowledge of, or could not have been produced at the time of the suit or petition by the party seeking to adduce the additional evidence.
It must be evidence relevant to the issues.
It must be evidence which is credible in the sense that it is capable of belief.
The evidence must be such that if given it would probably have influence on the result of the case although it need not be decisive.
The affidavit in support of an application to adduce additional evidence should have attached to it proof of the evidence sought to be given.
The application to adduce additional evidence must be brought without undue delay.
As noted from above, the court expanded the principles in Ladd VS Mashall and emphasized the doctrine that litigation should come to an end in the following terms:-
"These have remained the stand taken by the courts, for obvious reasons that there would be no end to litigation unless a court can expect a party to put in full case before the court. We must stress that for the same reason courts should be even more stringent to allow a party to adduce additional evidence to reopen a case, which has already been completed on appeal"
In the instant case, what I consider strange is that the appeal which is under investigation arose out of a ruling on a preliminary point of law of lack of cause of action. The matter did not go on trial on its merits. No evidence was adduced by the parties. The trial court struck out the plaint after looking at the pleadings and the annexures thereto. In legal parlance additional evidence would presuppose that there was evidence adduced at the trial. Since no evidence was led, the applicant's case does not fall within the ambit of the court of Appeal rule 30 (1) (b) of the Court of Appeal rules and the case of AG. VS P.K Ssemogerere & others (supra).This is because the role of the appellate court in the instant matter would not be reappraising evidence but would be determining whether the plaint discloses a cause of action. That role would be accomplished by only looking at the plaint and its annexures. See Tororo Cement Co. Ltd vs Frokina International Ltd Civil Appeal No. 2 of 2001 (SC).That task does not require any evidence or additional evidence however formidable it may be. Therefore, I find the intended additional evidence not relevant to the trial on appeal and would not influence the appellate court because it has no bearing on the issues on appeal. The same also lacks credibility because it is a stranger to the proceeding in so far as it brings in a new cause of action by vesting in the applicant proprietary rights over the suit property. The original cause of action was based on the claim that the Respondent was responsible to compensate the applicant by the fact that he inherited all liabilities in respect of the suit property from the former owners. In the new cause of action the applicant is challenging the process of repossession.
Again, what is strange here is that it is the government of Uganda which would be dispossessed and the one that would have locus standi to apply for additional evidence as the interested party. In Mudasi VS Uganda [1999] EA 193 (SCU) it was held that an application to call additional evidence must be made by the interested party.
The applicant being a stranger to the process of repossession is not an interested party and cannot competently move court for additional evidence.
For those reasons I find that the application misplaced, grossly misconceived, a misdirection and premature. It is accordingly dismissed with costs.

SCOPHONY
Scophony Ltd., Thornwood Lodge, Campden Hill, London N.W.8
Scophony Limited was formed in order to exploit the patents of G W Walton which related to the optics of mechanical television. At the end of 1932, Scophony obtained investment from Ferranti, but after 18 months Ferranti lost interest having decided that Scophony were going nowhere - they were still playing with 30-line systems when 120, 180 and 240 line systems were beginning to appear.
Th Scophony "Home Reciever" produced a 14½x10½" picture and was shown at the 1936 Radio Exhibition. It is unlikely
that it ever entered production.
But just as Ferranti pulled out, the "Jeffree Cell"supersonic light control emerged , an invention that seemed to persuade Ekco to invest in the company.
An Ekco-Scophony receiver was shown at the 1936 radio show, which although probably never entered production it was enough to demonstrate the performance of their system. It produced a relatively bright picture - clearly superior to the 10x8 picture obtained from the early 12-inch CRT's. Scophony went on to produce large picture televisions for use in both homes and in clubs / cinemas.
Although the remaining sets shown on this page all pre-World War II I believe they continued manufacturing sets certainly in the late 1940's but I've yet to locate any further information.

If you thought the straw ban was insanity, then just wait – there's more! While people worry about trying not to get thrown in jail because they sipped their favorite beverage with a straw, or waiters/waitresses risk their careers by slipping someone a straw by accident, then you won't be shocked when you're informed that the plastic straw ban isn't limited to just straws. That's right, the insanity runs even deeper. Those fancy little plastic cocktail swords are banned too.
Patrons at restaurants who finally made it to their location after trekking through, or around, the gross amount of feces, used needles, and the stench of urine might need a few extra drinks to make their travels home better. Unfortunately, they won't be sipping their concoctions out of the straws anymore, so they'll put their lips right on the brim of a possibly dirty glass and they won't even be allowed to have their drink look fancy for Instagram since the fun tiny weapons of mass decoration aren't allowed anymore.
The umbrellas are gone, too? I can't even. Get me to Starbucks right away. I need 26 venti drinks with no straw, no splash stick, and I just feel like dumping them all over myself out of rage. Actually, that sounds like a horrible idea – just as bad as sitting in a Starbucks for hours and not buying anything, then getting arrested when you're asked to leave because you simply felt like loitering.
Just imagine Barack Obama accidentally sipping with straws and using plastic swords a few times. He'll get fined or end up behind bars!
"Other straw bans typically target food service businesses, but this one will prohibit anyone, including grocery stores and other retailers, from selling plastic straws.
Like all good straw bans, the text of Tang's bill mentions the questionable statistic that Americans use 500 million straws a day. This statistic comes from a unconfirmed 2011 phone survey of straw manufacturers conducted by a 9-year-old. Market analysts think the actual number is far lower.
Meanwhile, in California, it was their Democratic Governor Jerry Brown who signed a bill that basically allows others to pass HIV to someone without being charged as a felon, as per the LA Times. "Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection.
You can basically end someone's life in California by sharing HIV infected blood, by not telling the blood bank, and not be charged with a felony, but you better not drink from a straw! Of course, you won't be a felon for using a straw either, but just the fact that someone can be legally punished, via fines, is abhorrent enough. Wait. Nevermind. I was wrong. At least two towns threaten to jail repeat offenders. Just imagine going to prison for drinking water through a plastic straw a few times. That's crazy, right?
Does anyone really think banning straws in California is going to save the planet or the environment at all? Are people serious with this? What about all the feces and urine in California? What about those wildfires going on? What if we looked at other cities like Chicago where 41 people were shot in less than 7 hours?
With all the harmful things going on in the country, it's probably best for California to get their act together and worry about things that matter.
Drinking out of a plastic straw isn't going to change the planet.
What are we going to drink out of instead, a big plastic lid?
Can California be serious for like five minutes?

Music and cars fuel parish, school ministries
Story and Photos by Peter Finney Jr., Clarion Herald
Yes, it's all about location, location, location!
Our Lady of the Rosary Church and Cabrini High School – located side by side on Esplanade Avenue – are just two blocks from the entrance to Jazz Fest. They both have made their parking lots available to Jazz Fest music lovers for $40 a car.
The parking is a major fundraiser for both the parish and the high school. Father Jonathan Hemelt, pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary, said the parking revenue last year was used in part to landscape the front of the church and install a wrought-iron fence.
"Usually, we can accommodate 160-165 cars," Father Hemelt said. "The money does go into our operating funds that we use for certain projects, and it's helped us pay for a lot of improvements. The front of the church really does look nice."
Helping out in a tight spot
Parking in the neighborhood is so restricted during Jazz Fest that the parish alters its Mass schedule for the two weekends, canceling the Saturday Vigil Mass and celebrating two Sunday Masses at 7:30 and 9 a.m. There is no Sunday evening Mass.
This year, the parish added a 7 a.m. Jazz Fest Saturday Mass "so that parishioners who want to attend Mass each day have that opportunity."
Father Hemelt's advice to Jazz Fest patrons looking for parking: Get there early.
"We start parking at 8:30, but on Saturday or Sunday, if you get there past 11, you may not get a spot," he said.
His crew of a dozen volunteers helps patrons back into parking spots, making it easier to leave. No one ever gets blocked in.
Cabrini dads come together
Cabrini High president Jack Truxillo says the Cabrini Dads' Club has been running the parking since 1989 – even providing food and drinks for patrons – and has helped the school with its ongoing operations.
Parking rates are market-driven.
"I told Father Jonathan we were going to beat his price this year and charge $39.99," Truxillo said, laughing. "He told me, 'If you do that, we'll go to $39.98.'"
Cabrini High has advanced reserved spots available online – www.cabrinihigh.com. Our Lady of the Rosary takes only drive-up business.
Cabrini's parking fundraiser may bring in as much as $60,000 this year, an important asset. The Dads' Club squeezes in about 240 cars.
"This is really a great brotherhood of men," Truxillo said.
St. Raymond-St. Leo the Great Parish, near St. Bernard Avenue and Abundance Street, is a little farther away from Jazz Fest. It charges $20 per car.

The global economic crisis shrunk the ranks of billion-dollar endowments from 77 to 54 in a year's time, according to a report of the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
The global economic crisis shrunk the ranks of billion-dollar endowments from 77 to 54 in a year's time, according to a report Thursday that provides the fullest picture yet of endowment performance in the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
The value of university and college endowments fell almost 19 percent on average during that period in what report authors described as the worst decline since the Great Depression.
"What last year demonstrated is that what goes up does come down – and that's what happened to college and university endowments," said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of government and public affairs for the American Council on Education.
Things appear to be headed up again, mirroring trends in the stock market and most other investments. In the 2009 calendar year, Duke's endowment grew 8.5 percent and Georgetown's grew 8 percent, school officials said, and other colleges and universities have reported similar gains.
The swings are part of what has been a volatile decade for endowments, which are managed as permanent assets and are especially crucial for large private schools that don't rely on state funding.
The average rate of return on endowments soared as high as 17 percent as recently as 2006-2007; endowments on average posted annual gains of 4 percent during the up-and-down 2000s.
Schools spend 4 to 5 percent of their endowments annually on student aid, faculty, research and other costs. On average, schools spent 4.4 percent of their endowments on operating costs in the last fiscal year, up slightly from the year before. More than 7 in 10 schools with $1 billion-plus endowments increased spending.
"To the extent endowments are there to support the academic enterprise during difficult times, they stepped up to the plate this year," said John Walda, president of the National Association of College and University Business Officers, which jointly issued the report with the nonprofit Commonfund.
Matthew Hamill, a senior vice president at NACUBO, disputed the notion that endowment managers are relying on risky strategies with little regard for the students. He said university endowment managers have posted better returns than major market indexes like the S&P 500.
"That seems to suggest the investment strategies are very carefully thought through," he said. For the first time in several years, smaller endowments outperformed large ones, in large part because of their reliance on fixed-income investments, the report said. More universities and colleges sought to diversify their portfolios by investing in hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.
Of the universities with supersized endowments, Harvard, the largest, suffered the greatest losses – 30 percent, from $36.5 billion to $25.6 billion in 2008-9. That loss is larger than the entire endowments of all but four other schools.
The return on Duke's endowment dropped 24.3 percent to $4.4 billion in 2008-2009, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. The private school in Durham, N.C., postponed a major construction project, offered early retirement incentives and isn't increasing salaries for employees making more than $50,000.
But as with many schools, the last decade has been good to Duke's endowment as a whole – its average annualized returns have been 10 percent, Schoenfeld said.
"It was certainly not catastrophic to the university's aspirations," he said.

One of the things that interests people most about cloud is its speed: you don't need to hang around for new hardware or more outlay. Moving testing and development to the cloud enables teams to gain on-demand flexibility of resources that can speed up development, time to market and reduce cost.
IT and development teams are being asked to deliver innovative solutions more frequently, and to be more agile and responsive to business needs. Performance testing is typically resource-intensive, and can be handled in two ways: add more resources, or steal capacity from other applications. With this in mind, using cloud is an obvious win-win in terms of improving testing efficiency, time and cost.
From the workforce point of view: developers want to be able to focus on writing code rather than be slowed down by continual admin and maintenance. dsp can take all of this off your hands, leaving you free to concentrate on creativity, growth and innovation.
From a business point of view: they need instant, on-demand capacity to smoke-test patches. dsp can instantly stand up and take down environments in the cloud, which means companies need only pay for the exact resource they consume, which is charged literally by the amount of data processed.
Cost savings is one of the core reasons companies look to cloud for development and testing. Organisations can avoid purchasing or allocating on-premises infrastructure for these temporary workloads, paying only for actual use. It doesn't make business sense for companies to buy servers, storage, and other infrastructure to support a project for only a few months.
For many organisations, the fact the cloud is an opex model rather than capex (for on-premise) can be leveraged to financial advantage.
In an age where agility is everything, cloud enables powerful testing and flexibility to clone entire application stacks with minimal configuration, and to complete testing more quickly. This all helps make development more simple and agile. Additionally, this frees up on-premises resources for mission critical applications.
One often overlooked fact is that better testing resources also improve product quality. Instead of using a scaled-down environment you can provision a full copy of the production environment to simulate and test more accurate real-life scenarios. Parallel testing, which can reduce the test cycle length, is now more achievable because scale is no longer a constraint. It is also relatively simple to simulate geographically distributed servers or users.
At dsp, we've learned from some of the "poster-boys" of the digital age, for whom it not just about IT but about how they do IT. One of the insights that has made dsp a leader in providing cloud solutions for development and testing is that "Process is critical" – there's little advantage to using cloud if you're still doing it with 'old-school' processes. As an example – we try to make sure that the "human processes" aren't the bits that take a week, when we can do the actual testing in half an hour.
Cloud is not just technology, it's a set of processes that enable and accelerate, consume on demand, scale at will. We go to great lengths to ensure that human systems don't get in the way of what our customers need. dsp's CTO is passionate about going the extra mile to automate as much as possible and to strip out things that slow things down. You must have the processes that back it up. Our processes also need to be subject to "Moore's Law" and get faster.
Which is just one of the reasons why we believe dsp are different, and bring unique understanding and insight to every engagement. We'd love to tell you more in person – talk to us today.

As the highly anticipated TV show returns to screens soon, No.1 take a look at which Scottish location inspired Game of Thrones!
Doune Castle, near Stirling, was actually the first location used to depict the Stark's home of Winterfell. And, aside from exterior shots, the castle was also employed for Robert Baratheon's feast in the pilot episode.
So, why not take a trip to the castle to get ready for season eight and get your swords ready for battle!
However, this isn't the last time Game of Thrones could be coming to Scottish soil as there have been rumours of the show returning to the Isle of Skye.
The Sunday Herald reported that HBO was scouting outdoor filming locations on the scenic Isle of Skye in Scotland for the Game of Thrones prequel set during the Age of Heroes, set thousands of years before the current show.
