Only One-Third Of Parents Think They Are Doing A Good Job Helping Kids Eat Healthy Foods
Last updated March 6, 2017

Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health
Many parents do not promote healthy eating in kids, according to this month's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at the University of Michigan.
If you know healthy eating is important for your kids but you also feel like it's easier said than done, you're not alone.
Nearly all parents agree with the importance of healthy diets during childhood, according to a new national poll. But when it comes to their own homes, only a third of parents of children ages 4-18 are confident they are doing a good job shaping their child's eating habits.
While a little more than half of parents polled believe their children eat mostly healthy, only one in six rate their children's diets as very nutritious, according to the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. Meanwhile, about a fourth of parents say their child's eating is somewhat or not healthy at all.
Common challenges get in the way: Price, picky eaters and convenience.
"Most parents understand that they should provide healthy food for their children, but the reality of work schedules, children's activities and different food preferences can make meal preparation a hectic and frustrating experience," says poll co-director Sarah Clark.
"The tension between buying foods children like, and buying foods that are healthy, can be an ongoing struggle. Many of us know the feeling of spending time and money on a healthy meal only to have our children grimace at the sight of it and not take a single bite."
Most parents polled agree it's important to promote a healthy diet for their children. Still, one in five don't think it's important to limit fast food and junk food in their child's diet. Another 16 percent believe it is somewhat or not important to limit sugary drinks.
In general, parents of teens were less worried about unhealthy eating habits compared to parents of younger children.
"It can be easy to slip into more convenient habits that seem less stressful and less expensive. But if occasional fast food or junk food becomes the norm, it will be even more difficult to promote healthy habits for kids as they grow up," Clark says.
"Many convenience foods are high in sugar, fat and calories and overconsumption of fast food can cause childhood obesity and other health problems."
Another hurdle: The often overwhelming quest to shop healthy. Nearly half of parents polled admit that it is difficult to tell which foods are actually good for them. Phrases such as all-natural, low-fat, organic, and sugar-free are used inconsistently on food labels and packaging and can be confusing for shoppers.
Additionally, about one in four parents say healthy foods are not available where they shop, a challenge which is more prominent among parents with lower education and income levels.
"Most parents want their children to eat as healthy as possible but may need help making that happen," Clark says. "Some parents need help with shopping, meal preparation, or other household chores so that mealtimes are not so hectic. Others would benefit from easy-to-understand information on how to identify packaged foods that are healthy, ideas on how to make kid-friendly recipes a little healthier, and practical suggestions on convincing picky eaters to try a more balanced diet."
This report is based on responses from 1,767 parents who had at least one child age 4-18 years.

Sh2-249 è una nebulosa a emissione visibile nella costellazione dei Gemelli.

Si trova nella parte occidentale della costellazione, in direzione della brillante stella , la cui luce ne disturba l'osservazione; appare immersa in un ricco campo stellare. La sua declinazione non è particolarmente settentrionale e ciò fa sì che essa possa essere osservata agevolmente da entrambi gli emisferi celesti, sebbene gli osservatori dell'emisfero boreale siano leggermente più avvantaggiati; il periodo in cui la sua osservazione è ottimale nel cielo serale è compreso fra i mesi di novembre e marzo.

Sh2-249 è un'estesa regione H II a forma di fiamma posta in direzione della stella , sebbene quest'ultima sia una stella molto in primo piano e appaia dinanzi alla nube solo per un effetto prospettico; la nube si troverebbe infatti sul Braccio di Perseo e potrebbe essere legata al complesso nebuloso molecolare di Gemini OB1, situato a una distanza di circa 1500-2000 parsec. La fonte di ionizzazione responsabile dell'illuminazione della nube proverrebbe dal vento stellare di tre stelle massicce di classe spettrale B, catalogate come HD 43753, HD 43818 e HD 255091, a cui si aggiungerebbe secondo altri studi la stella blu di classe O HD 255055, un membro del vicino ammasso aperto Cr 89. A seconda della determinazione delle stelle ionizzatrici, si ottengono diverse distanze: nello studio in cui è stata inclusa HD 255055 il valore di distanza diventa di soli 800 pc, mentre in quelli che hanno teso a escluderla questo valore si sposta a circa 1250 pc o 1600 pc; in particolare questi ultimi collocano Sh2-249 nella regione di Gem OB1, in associazione alla regione H II catalogata come BFS51, ad alcune nebulose a riflessione, fra cui spicca vdB 75, e a delle nebulose oscure, catalogate come LDN 1564, LDN 1567 3 LDN 1568. Altri ancora aggiungono a queste nebulose associate pure LBN 845 e IC 444.

Picket Lines Set Up at Mount Polley
Thursday, May. 24th, 2018
-Image Submitted
A legal picket line remains up at the Likely Road and Bootjack Road as unionized Mount Polley workers continue their second day of strike action.
"The parties aren't talking. We've offered to go back to the table next week, and they've said no. So that's where it sits," said United Steelworkers Local 1-2017 business agent Dan Will.
The strike was initiated Wednesday by the Union following a three-hour lockout by Mount Polley Mining Corporation that had invited employees back "under the terms of a new comprehensive and competitive wage and benefits package."
Imperial Metals said in a release that the lockout was intended to overcome an impasse on the renewal of the collective agreement, which terminated on December 31st, 2017.
"There are quite a few issues, but I'm not going to bargain it in the media," said Will noting the strike affects about 200 workers.
Mount Polley is located about 56 kilometers northeast of Williams Lake.


"Grief is chaotic and messy and hard," writes Debbie Augenthaler. And yet grief is also an invitation to see the world differently — aware of what we have lost and in appreciation of what remains.
In her new book, You Are Not Alone: A Heartfelt Guide for Grief, Healing, and Hope, Augenthaler draws upon her own trauma — losing her husband suddenly and tragically to an aortic aneurysm at only 45 years old — and her clinical experience as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and grief to offer hope, encouragement, and understanding for those struggling with loss.
"The moments before and the moments right after someone dies are etched in your mind with crystal clarity," writes Augenthaler.
Death, Augenthaler tells us, is difficult to comprehend. In our efforts to deny the unbelievable, we bargain, deny, attempt to escape the overwhelming feelings that threaten to take us over.
We often replay the moments before death endlessly, as if the effort itself can change what has already transpired. "It's a natural response; because the world feels scary and out of control, and we feel helpless and wish we could change the outcome," writes Augenthaler.
Yet while we may cling to the world before, somewhere in the space between, we often have experiences that are magical and mystical.
"Spirit lives on," writes Augenthaler. "The connected bond of love doesn't end." But walking forward into our new realities is painful, and each step is another reminder that our loved ones are gone.
"As each day goes by, the impact of my loss grows. Not only is my husband gone, I have lost my best friend, my lover, my rock. I have lost our future together. Now I have to confront the reality alone," Augenthaler says.
The natural question grief brings is: Who are we now? With each day and each decision, we are further confronted with new realities, new losses like fresh wounds, each warranting their own mourning.
The effort of moving forward into a world without the one we have lost is nearly impossible to comprehend, and it is normal to simply not want to. Augenthaler describes luring herself back to eating with the smell of cinnamon toast, which becomes as much a ritual as it does a simplification of the act of eating.
There is no way around the discomfort grief brings. There is no right way to grieve. And there is no way to simplify grief.
"The only way out of grief is to go through it," explains Augenthaler.
We may move from despair to rage and back to despondency, and yet often, when we are at our lowest point, there is a subtle shift where we become open to the possibility of something transformative, even spiritual.
"You will feel the shift; you will know it. You'll hear the sounds of life again, feel the wind, breathe in a sunny day, something will happen and the awareness of the shift will be clear. Like having lived through a very long storm and then one morning the sun comes out," writes Augenthaler.
Healing is an awakening to the new, with keen senses, an expanded heart and a connection to those around us that runs deeper — unafraid of grief and aware of the transformation it offers.
You Are Not Alone is not just a guide to healing from grief. It is a story full of tender moments, heart wrenching memories and compassionate wisdom. For anyone coping loss, it is an invaluable read.

Mercer University Club Basketball President Kevin Kinnard kneels on the sideline during the final 3 on 3 drill of the day's practice Nov. 6.
Mercer University junior Kevin Kinnard was always passionate about basketball growing up, and he wanted to carry that passion with him to Mercer. COVID-19 hasn't kept him from expressing that passion in the form of Mercer's Club Basketball team.
When Kinnard arrived as a freshman in 2018, he participated in the original Mercer Club Basketball team.
"My freshman year, we played a couple of times (in) a couple tournaments. I had a lot of fun. And my sophomore year, we didn't because of certain different things, because of conflict," Kinnard said. "So I decided, Okay, well, I know I'm gonna continue doing this. So let me just go ahead and be the one to make it."
Kinnard is now the president of the new Mercer Basketball Club team along with a full staff of other students including vice president and social media manager Jerrell Smith, treasurer Elijah Berry, assistant coach Jacoby Felder and head coach Jeremiah Pulliam.
"I had to have a staff in order to get the application done. And these guys are amazing guys, they are. They all have the same love for basketball that I do, and without them, I wouldn't be able to do (this), we wouldn't be here today," Kinnard said.
The club in their second bout of tryouts after having their first round on Oct. 22.
"(The) first day the tryouts went amazing. Nobody questioned us when it came to COVID protocol. We set it up great. We had drills ready, everybody had fun even though you know it's a hard time to even try to do anything," Kinnard said.
COVID-19 protocols dictated that players and staff would have to wear masks when not participating in play, drills could only consist of five or less players on each side of the court and the staff sanitized the balls before and after tryouts.
These protocols were put in place by student Gerald Washington, the club's COVID-19 safety manager.
Even once the team is established, they're looking forward to next semester when it comes to playing in tournaments.
"We discussed the possibility of a tournament and there's no way, you know, a tournament could happen this fall," Kinnard said. "I understand that I don't want to put anyone at risk."
Kinnard had high hopes for anyone looking to join the team as a player, staff or even as a partner organization.
"I would introduce club basketball as a part of Mercer that loves basketball. I love the game, if you would love to ever have any type of opportunity to be involved in basketball as a player, coach, staff, anything, we're open to anyone," Kinnard said.
The second round of tryouts are scheduled Nov. 6 from 6-8 p.m. and Nov. 7 from 2-4 p.m. at the University Center intramural courts. Anyone looking to try out must provide a negative COVID-19 test to attend.
The team is looking to admit anywhere from 14 to 15 players on their roster and is accepting all applications for staff positions.

Astrology - An Overview
By Suresh Shrimali on November 20, 2015 0
The roots Astrology can be traced back to the ancient times when the civilization had started. According to Indian Astrology, the personality and fortune of a person are defined by the position of the planets, at the time and place of his/her birth. The present and future positions of the planets are compared with those at the time of birth to predict the future. The Hindu Astrology is called 'Jyotisha' in Sanskrit which means the 'Science of Light.
The Astrology is called 'Phalita Jyotisha' and its relationship with astronomy is complementary. It is a well-oiled and scientific system which has evolved tremendously over several centuries both in the East and in the West. It is a wide belief that science of astrology originated in India and has been practiced for more than 8000 years. There have been a slew of renowned astrologers who correctly predicted the occurrence of important events well in advance and a lot of astrologers tell people about their past correctly while advising them about how to shore up their future. It is a testimony to the fact that astrology is not merely superstition but an effective mechanism that benefits legions of people.
One can rightly argue there have also been a string of inaccuracies in predicting the future through astrology. But then no profession or any field of life can boast of 100% success record. Even the most competent and cerebral scientists cannot predict the earthquakes or tsunamis. Hence we can say that the fault lies not in astrology or science but in our mechanism. There must be thorough and panoramic research in the realm of astrology to gain deeper knowledge and greater insights.
One cannot deny the fact that astrology provides hope to people who are bogged down by several adversaries in life. It also gives them certain solutions to thwart the uncertainties and vagaries of life.
However, it is essential to develop a system of scientific uniformity in astrology domain to get more accurate and reliable insights. That will attract people towards astrology along with enhancing its credibility manifold in an era where advanced technology and science rule the roost. It would also keep petty charlatans at bay who often take the gullible people for a ride.
Adhyatmik Sadhna Siddhi Kendra is one of the most sought-after destinations for services in Astrology, Spiritualism, Vastu Shashtra, and Numerology domains. It was established by Dr Radha Krishan Shrimali with an objective to shore up the lives of common people through celestial cognizance. His inspiring legacy is carried forward by Mr Suresh Shrimali who is known for his admirable felicity, clinquant credentials, and tremendous erudition. The Centre has completed 50 years and has enriched common people of more than 160 countries. It also provides a wide range of gemstones, rudraksha, astrology yantra , astrology pyramid, astrology books, and astrology products .

On April 2, 2019, Catherine McKenna, the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change approved the production of genetically-modified Atlantic salmon by AquaBounty Technologies at Roll Bay in Prince Edward Island.
This may represent the first genetically modified animal for human consumption anywhere in the world. The new fish includes genes from Pacific Chinook salmon (for size) and ocean pout (for cold-water tolerance). AquaBounty has been working on the project for the past 20 years and received the green light in 2016 from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada to proceed. The final stage of the process was the environmental assessment conducted by Environment Canada and approved and announced by McKenna on Sunday. AquaBounty plans to produce some 250 tonnes of GM Atlantic salmon in its first year of operation.
What does this mean and should people be concerned?
The answer to that question is complicated. The demand for fish from our ever-growing global human population is huge: about a third of people consume fish as their primary source of protein, and this will no doubt grow as beef and other environmentally-taxing land-based meats become less and less sustainable. Further, 90% of wild fisheries are in trouble, with some scientists estimating a complete global collapse by 2050. Aquaculture, specifically finfish practices, is a relatively new phenomenon that started in New Brunswick in the early 1970s, for better or worse, along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy. The industry has certainly had its fair share of criticism and has been responsible for various forms of environmental problems – from sea-lice to the use of illegal pesticides to genetic contamination with wild fish.
But this isn't the question we should be asking. The real question is: will farmed fish, genetically modified or not, feed the most disenfranchised and help create planetary sustainability for humans in an equitable way?
The answer to this question is more simple: no.
Just eighteen days prior to Minister McKenna's announcement about GM Atlantic salmon, more than 1.5 million young people across 135 countries walked out of school to draw attention to our collective inaction on climate change and environmental injustice. Led by sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg of Sweden, their request of politicians and leaders was a wholesale change in the way we consume and distribute wealth and resources.
The products of finfish aquaculture and especially genetically-modified aquaculture will never end up on the dinner plates of people from sub Saharan Africa or Ecuador or even the communities close to the AquaBounty farms in eastern P.E.I., like Red Point or Eglinton. It is too expensive. These products are largely if not exclusively consumed by the richest 1% of us.
Further, and most importantly, the energy, financing and resources required to farm fish takes away from the urgent need to restore our natural ecosystems. Biodiversity — the wild, living things that together form incredibly interconnected systems which provide our fresh water, air and healthy soils — is fundamentally responsible for our survival. Open or closed-contained aquaculture pens do nothing to support biodiversity.
Wild Atlantic salmon have been extirpated or are in serious trouble in large swaths of their historic range, from Lake Ontario to the rivers and tributaries of the Gulf of Maine, the Bay of Fundy and much of the southern and eastern shores of Nova Scotia. Healthy populations still do exist along North America's eastern seaboard, thanks in part to a ban on commercial fishing in the communal foraging grounds off western Greenland. Wild salmon are keystone species: they are the cornerstone of the ecosystems where they live, providing food to many other creatures and eating many creatures themselves. Balanced ecosystems lead to sustainable and prosperous human communities.
Meal for wildlife: an Atlantic salmon on the shore of the Miramichi River, N.B.
Let us refocus our goals for human sustainability. Let us plan for a future 50 and 100 years from now. In this future, biodiversity is strong and healthy and robust and resilient. In this future, Atlantic salmon contribute to the ecosystems where they're found and provide an invaluable resource to society overall.

Q: Facebook API PHP, get page feed I feel like I've been all over the facebook documentation as well as hours of google searching and I cannot figure this out.  Much of what I found is years old; before Facebook switched to another API version so I'm getting confused about a ton of things.
It seems my business pages already have apps created for them, so all I'm trying to do is get the feed from the page.  Here is my code so far, and I'd just like to know what to do next.
$facebookAPP_ID = 'THERE IS A VALID ID';
$facebookAPP_SECRET = 'THERE IS A VALID SECRET';

require 'facebook/autoload.php';

use Facebook\FacebookSession;
use Facebook\FacebookRequest;
use Facebook\GraphUser;
use Facebook\FacebookRequestException;

FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication($facebookAPP_ID, $facebookAPP_SECRET);
$session = FacebookSession::newAppSession($facebookAPP_ID, $facebookAPP_SECRET);

try {
  $session->validate();
} catch (FacebookRequestException $ex) {
  // Session not valid, Graph API returned an exception with the reason.
  echo $ex->getMessage();
} catch (\Exception $ex) {
  // Graph API returned info, but it may mismatch the current app or have expired.
  echo $ex->getMessage();
}

Doing $session->getToken() retrieves a token which is cool but I want data.
The following code directly after gives an error. An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.:
try {
  $response = (new FacebookRequest($session, 'GET', '/me'))->execute();
  $object = $response->getGraphObject();
  echo $object->getProperty('name');
} catch (FacebookRequestException $ex) {
  echo $ex->getMessage();
} catch (\Exception $ex) {
  echo $ex->getMessage();
}

I've read that there is no '/me' for pages, so what is the correct call to get the page feed?

A: It seems Facebook just whispers this part in its documentation; that you can authenticate using only the ID and Secret, so this one call over cURL is working for me without any of that code above being necessary (with the correct values of course).
'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$facebookPageId.'/posts?&access_token='.$facebookAppId.'|'.$facebookAppSecret;

Feast of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (November 13) Leave a comment
Above: St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
SAINT FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI (JULY 15, 1850-DECEMBER 22, 1917)
Founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart
Francesca Savierio Cabrini, born at Sant'Angelo, Lodigiano, Italy, on July 15, 1850, became a great champion of emigrants and immigrants. She, the youngest of thirteen children, grew up on a farm and trained at a convent to become a teacher. At the age of 18 years she tried to become a nun, but her health prevented that effort from succeeding. Our saint taught at the House of Providence Orphanage for girls (closed in 1880) at Cadogono, Italy, for six years. Finally, in 1877, she was able to take her monastic vows. Three years later Cabrini founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, dedicated to the care of poor children in schools and hospitals.
Our saint aspired to become a missionary to Asia, as St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552) had done. Pope Leo XIII (reigned 1878-1903) had another idea, however. He sent her and six other members of the order to the United States, where an influx of Italian immigrants had led U.S. Roman Catholic bishops to request priests and religious from Italy. Italian immigrants were a despised population for a set of reasons:
Most of them were Roman Catholics. The United States was a predominantly Protestant nation-state in which anti-Roman Catholicism was endemic and accepted. In various states in the late 1800s Blaine Amendments to constitutions prohibited the granting of public funds to parochial schools. The real target was Catholic schools, although the wording of the amendments applied to institutions of other denominations, ironically. And in 1884, at a rally for James G. Blaine, the Republican presidential nominee, a Presbyterian minister stated that Blaine would save the United States from the Democrats, the party of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion," a reference to, in order, alcohol, Roman Catholicism, and the Civil War. Blaine was almost certainly unaware of that remark in real time, but his support for the failed federal constitutional Blaine Amendment that inspired state constitutional amendments made criticisms of him for being anti-Roman Catholic seem not unreasonable.
Most of Italian immigrants were also poor. They competed with others, including many native-born Americans, for low-paying jobs. Economic insecurity has frequently contributed to opposition to immigration.
They spoke Italian and needed to learn English. This was easier for some than it was for others. With the issue of language came the related issue of the culture the tongue from the old country carried. This was a point of controversy with regard to more than one ethnic group (i.e, Danes, Norwegians, Germans, Swedes) in the United States in previous generations. [Aside: It remains one today, mostly with regard to Hispanics. The other groups assimilated, as many Hispanics are doing. This year, for example, I have heard news stories about politicians having to appeal to Hispanic voters who do not speak Spanish.]
Nativism and xenophobia have never ceased to exist in the United States, a country of immigrants and descendants thereof, since the founding of the republic. They have fed off the fact that immigration alters the country's demographics, a reality that has proven frightening in the U.S.A. since the late 1700s. This has been evident in, for example, the Alien and Sedition Acts (1798), the existence of the American Party (1843-1856), and the federal immigration law of 1924. [Aside: One can find evidence of nativism and xenophobia in contemporary social media and politics in many nation-states quite easily in 2016.]
Cabrini and her six companions arrived in New York City in 1889. Their first convent, if one could call it that, was a tenement unfit for human habitation. Archbishop Michael Corrigan, who initially thought this mission to slum-dwelling immigrants unsafe for the women, ordered them to return to Italy. Cabrini replied that Pope Leo XIII outranked him. In time the archbishop an advocate for and benefactor of the sisters' work among the slum-dwelling immigrants. Cabrini remained in the United States for the rest of her life and became a naturalized citizen. She died of malaria at Chicago, Illinois, on December 22, 1917. She was 67 years old. Our saint was responsible for the existence of 67 institutions–schools, hospitals, and orphanages–in Europe, North America, and South America.
The Roman Catholic Church moved relatively rapidly to recognize Cabrini formally. Pope Pius XI declared her a Venerable in 1937 and a Blessed the following year. Then, in 1946, Pope Pius XII canonized her.
Cabrini is the patron of emigrants, immigrants, orphans, hospital administrators, and victims of malaria. Her life invites to consider those who are vulnerable and those who are foreign to us. They bear the image of God also, her life reminds us. Will we act accordingly?

Feast of Henry Martyn Dexter (November 13) 1 comment
Above: The Flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
HENRY MARTYN DEXTER (AUGUST 13, 1821-NOVEMBER 13, 1890)
U.S. Congregationalist Minister and Historian
I, as a bookish person, like scholars, generally. Anti-intellectualism is among the most undesirable features of certain varieties of religion. Even Roman Catholicism, with its admirable tradition of Thomism, has also contained a strong strain of anti-intellectualism. The rational aspect of the Anglican Three-Legged Stool (really a tricycle) is one of the theological realities which keeps me an Episcopalian.
Henry Martyn Dexter (1821-1890) was an intellectual and a scholar par excellence. He was also a minister of the Gospel. That union of religiosity and intellectualism warrants my respect. That said, nobody should assume that I agree with all or many of Dexter's opinions, especially when he quoted the Bible to criticize extending voting rights to women. He was godly yet mistaken about a great many topics.
Our saint entered the world at Plympton, Massachusetts. His parents were Elijah Dexter, a Congregationalist minister, and Mary Morton. Henry graduated from Yale College (B.A., 1840) and Andover Theological Seminary (B.D., 1844). He, ordained, served at Franklin Street Congregational Church, Manchester, New Hampshire (1844-1849), and at Berkeley Street Congregational Church, Boston, Massachusetts (1849-1867).
Dexter was an editor of publications. He edited The Congregationalist (1849-1866) from 1851 to 1866. From 1859 to 1875 he was one of the editors of The Congregational Quarterly (1859-1878): 1859, 1860, 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1876, 1877, and 1878. Our saint also edited the successors of The Congregationalist:
The Congregationalist and Recorder (1867), and
The Congregationalist and Boston Recorder (1867-1901), a.k.a. The Congregationalist.
Dexter was the foremost historian of American Congregationalism. He was a prolific author, as my research about him at archive .org revealed:
Our National Condition, and Its Remedy: A Sermon, Preached in the Pine Street Church, Boston, on Sunday, June 22, 1856;
Christian Pamphlets (1858), as one of the authors;
Street Thoughts (1859);
Twelve Discourses (1860);
The History of King Philip's War by Benjamin Church (1865), as editor;
The Verdict of Reason Upon the Question of the Future Punishment of Those Who Die Impenitent (1865);
Mourt's Relation or Journal of the Plantation at Plymouth (1865), as editor;
What Ought to Be Done with the Freedmen and with the Rebels? A Sermon Preached in the Berkeley-Street Church, Boston, on Sunday, April 23, 1865 (1865);
The History of the Eastern Expeditions of 1689, 1690, 1692, 1696, and 1704 Against the Indians and French by Benjamin Church (1867), as editor;
The Church Polity of the Pilgrims: The Polity of the New Testament (1870);
Pilgrim Memoranda (1870);
Memoranda, Historical, Chronological, Etc., Prepared with the Hope to Aid Those Whose Interest in Pilgrim Memorials, and History, is Freshened by This Jubilee Year, and Who May Not Have a Large Historical Library at Hand (1870);
Congregationalism: What It Is, Whence It Is, How It Works; Why It is Better Than Any Other Form of Church Government; and Its Consequent Demands (1874);
As to Roger Williams, and His "Banishment" from the Massachusetts Plantation; with a Few Further Words Concerning the Baptists, the Quakers, and Religious Liberty: A Monograph (1876);
A Hand-Book of Congregationalism (1880);
The Congregationalism of the Last Three Hundred Years, As Seen in Its Literature (1880);
The True Story of John Smyth, the Se-Baptist, As Told by Himself and His Contemporaries (1881);
Common Sense as to Women Suffrage (1885);
Sketch of the Life of Increase Niles Tarbox (1890); and
The England and Holland of the Pilgrims (1905), completed by his son, Morton Dexter.
Our saint specialized in prose. As his son, Morton Dexter (1846-1910), son of Emmeline Palmer, indicated, our saint
never regarded himself as a poet and never gave much attention to versifying.
Nevertheless, our saint wrote some ballads, at least one hymn, and at least one hymn translation ("Shepherd of Tender Youth"). "Shepherd of Tender Youth" debuted in the December 21, 1849 issue of The Congregationalist.
Dexter, who received the LL.D. degree from Yale in 1890, died at New Bedford, Massachusetts, on November 13 of that year. Yale received his library of Congregational Church history–1,850 volumes.

Feast of St. Abbo of Fleury (November 13) 1 comment
Above: The Sword of Orion
Image Source = Jet Propulsion Library
SAINT ABBO OF FLEURY (CIRCA 945-NOVEMBER 13, 1004)
Roman Catholic Abbot
St. Abbo of Fleury was a great Christian intellectual, a scholar of philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. He also wrote a biography of St. Edmund , martyred King of East Anglia.
The saint, born at Orleans, studied there and at Reims before becoming a Benedictine monk at Fleury-sur-Loire. From 986 to 987 he served as abbot at the new monastery at Ramsey, England, serving also as head of the school there. In 988 he was elected Abbot of Fleury. A political dispute followed, for another monk, one with royal connections, claimed the post. Yet Gerbert (the future Pope Sylvester II, 999-1004) settled the dispute in St. Abbo's favor.
As abbot St. Abbo became caught up in the difficult church-state politics of his time; there was no way for him to stay out of it. In 991 he attended the Synod of Basel, which deposed Arnoul as Archbishop of Reims, a vacancy which Gerbert filled for a few years. This deposition was political, and St. Abbo helped to reinstate Arnoul in 999. The saint also stood with Pope Gregory V (reigned 996-999) against Antipope John XVI (reigned 997-998) and tried to make peace between the Pontiff and King Robert II of France (reigned 996-1031), who wound up being excommunicated for marrying this cousin Bertha.
End-of-the-world hysteria is not new.
There was a wave of it across Europe in 999. St. Abbo worked to calm fears at that time.
Unfortunately, the scholar-saint died violently of wounds suffered during a violent confrontation at the monastery at LaReole, in Gascony, in November 1004. He was trying to reform the monastic life there. The fact that two groups of monks were attacking each other indicated the need for such reform. The saint tried to end the confrontation and got stabbed for his trouble.
The more I know about St. Abbo, the more I like him.

Feast of St. Brice of Tours (November 13) Leave a comment
Above: A U-Turn

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SAINT BRICE OF TOURS (CIRCA 370-444)
Roman Catholic Bishop
Also known as Saint Britius of Tours
Sometimes I hear or a comment about how someone with obvious character flaws was or is "not a saint." Such a statement of what qualifies one as a saint indicates a major misunderstanding. The New Testament definition of a saint is a Christian. And those whom church authorities have recognized as saints have been among the first to acknowledge their sins. The official saints were not as different from the rest of us who profess to follow Jesus and struggle with our sins as some think. We sin, we confess our sins, we repent–"turn around," literally–and we repeat the cycle. What matters most is that we keep returning to the proper path.
The life of St. Brice (or Britius) of Tours (circa 370-444) is an excellent example of this principle. He, the ward of St. Martin of Tours, tried his guardian's patience. St. Brice was a juvenile delinquent who heaped contempt upon the very patient St. Martin. St. Brice reformed and became a priest, but he slipped back into unholy patterns of living. Yet St. Martin refused to give up on him. Of St. Brice the elder saint said,
If Christ could tolerate Judas, surely I can put up with Brice.
St. Martin succeeded in reforming St. Brice, who succeeded him as Bishop of Tours in 397. But the younger saint demonstrated what one source called a "disagreeable character." For years many people tried to have him removed. They succeeded after some accused him of having carried on an affair. This may have been a false charge, but he was unfit for his office. The initial phase of St. Brice's episcopate had lasted for thirty-three years. For seven years St. Brice insisted upon his innocence. Finally, restored as Bishop of Tours, he was a changed man, one whose lived holiness was impossible not to notice. He died in 444, beloved.
I wonder: How might St. Brice have turned out without human and divine patience? And how will the example of his life influence how you, O reader, treat others?

This is another report documenting the production process and progress of the second issue of my artist book/comic Blotting Paper: The Recollected Graphical Impressions Of Doctor Comics. The new chapter A Blot on His Escutcheon continues the experimental approach to image-making. It involves experimental approaches to drawing including abstract drawing, contour drawing and blind contour drawing. It's having fun with paper and pencil and the drawing process.
Using line as an element of construction and expression, the drawn line as well as the printed line and written line, although restrictive is potentially quite expressive to me. I find that drawing details very carefully of constantly changing scenes with accompanying alterations in point-of-view leads easily into abstraction.
Drawing anything that comes to my mind whilst listening to music invariably produces a pattern of abstract lines on paper that is most expressive. I look at the lines whilst I am making them and try to keep up with the tempo of the music. No erasers! A quick tempo produces less inhibited lines and surprising shapes.
Another fun with drawing exercise I have utilised is to draw a character or object without actually looking at the paper I'm drawing on. I try to follow the outlines of the object but don't look down to see how the drawing looks. Without the constant checking things tend to drift and shift out of perspective and registration. The contours can be accurate but might be out of place.

Paul Weller – On Sunset
(Polydor) UK release date: 3 July 2020
by Ben Hogwood
published: 3 Jul 2020 in Album Reviews
Paul Weller cuts a very contented figure these days, but that doesn't mean his music making has become complacent. On Sunset, his sixth solo album in 10 years and his 15th in total, finds him not only ageing gracefully but continually renewing his musical explorations.
There was a time when the former Jam and Style Council front man would have used anger at current world affairs to fire his inspiration, but these days his songs barely allude to those events. Instead they are more personal and reflective, unafraid to appreciate the smaller things in life and the presence of those close to him. This is understandable given the relative domestic bliss in which he now lives, but it stops a long way from self indulgence. Instead the positive and appreciative lyrics are paired with music that is upward looking and ultimately extremely creative.
Walkin' is a good example of his current state of mind, its ambling profile a study in contentment while its production is laced with birdsong. And yet it does not sound too twee, the pastoral elements complementing the familiar, slightly swarthy tones of the singer. The voice can be soulful, too, as the expressive tones of Baptiste illustrate.
Village is even more immediate. Underpinned by a sure footed bass line, it has gorgeous string arrangements, the fruits of another successful stint working with Hannah Peel. This is in keeping with previous album True Meanings, which enhanced Weller's familiar band line-up with sensitive and effective orchestral colouring.
The arrangements make a big difference; for once again they are not layered on thick but subtly sculpted, capturing the rise and fall of each song where they are used. More is one such example, drawing back to its dubby bass line at the start of each verse but applying some gorgeous brushstrokes as the chorus arrives.
Weller continues to open his music up to others, too. Original Jam member Steve Brookes is in, while Slade violinist Jim Lea appears to enhance Equanimity's easy gait. Earth Beat takes a track from Ghost Box's Jim Jupp, reworking it through an almost bewildering set of styles heading towards Weller's electronic experiments. It sprawls a little, but intrigues in equal measure.
On Sunset has three of the longest songs Weller has allowed onto an album, a sign of his continuing confidence to let the music breathe. None of them outstays their welcome, either. Mirror Ball begins the album, a mini-suite of mind-expanding sounds. In its central section it pans out, capturing the excited whoop of an audience in the moment their subject arrives on stage. In doing so it brings an unexpected, searing pang for the return of live music. The title track has pleasant contours in its reflections that would grace a George Harrison album, with dappled orchestral colouring charting Weller's reminiscences. More is allowed an extended coda, where the rasp of a baritone saxophone underpins a brass section and The Strypes' Josh McClorey delivers a penetrating guitar solo.
Even as this album is released Weller is writing more songs, his next solo chapter already coming into view. It is an indication of the speed of his thought these days, and is shown in On Sunset's ability to translate instinctive musical ideas into an album at a moment's notice. Weller has found an ideal blend of experience and a quest for more that provides for an optimistic album for an English summer.

Q: compareTo() getting true or false output So if I had two strings I understand that if the first string was, let's say, ape and the second was zebra and I said word1.compareTo(word2); the output should be negative.
How would I get an output of true or false?

A: compareTo() returns a number that is less than, equal to, or greater than zero, corresponding to the first string being before, the same as, or after the second string respectively; so you can test for a particular ordering by comparing the result to 0 with any of the relational operators (==, !=, <, <=, >, >=).
For instance:
// Returns true only when word1 and word2 are in order or the same
return word1.compareTo(word2) <= 0;

and
// Do s1 and s2 need to be swapped?
boolean outOfOrder = s1.compareTo(s2) > 0;

if (outOfOrder) {
    // swap s1 and s2
    // ...
}

(Note that comparisons give you boolean values that you can return, assign to variables, and so on; you don't need if (cond) { return true; } else { return false; }.)

A: Ternary:
(word1.compareTo(word2) == 0) true ? false

If/else:
if(word1.compareTo(word2) == 0)
    return true;
else
    return false;

there are lots of ways to do it. you can make a new method to do it for you if you like.

In Virginia, the overall infant mortality rate has continued to slowly decline since 2013, dropping from 5.63 to 5.20 deaths per 1,000 live births. The same holds true for the natural infant mortality rate, which declined from 4.69 in 2013 to 4.00 in 2016. Despite the steady decline in natural infant death, the non-natural infant mortality rate rose from 0.94 in 2013 to 1.20 in 2016. The frequency and rate of sleep-related infant deaths also increased over the four-year period.

Watch It Now!
The Singularity Has Occurred.
An A.I. Has Awakened.
And It Has…Opinions.
When Colleen's Amazon Alexa refuses to play her favorite Bruno Mars song, she becomes aware of the emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) consciousness that has awoken around the globe. Will she welcome our robot overlords? More importantly, can she convince them that her taste in music isn't terrible?
SINGULARITY STORIES VOL. I is the premiere project from CineCism Media, and the first in a potential series exploring ideas about Artificial Intelligence that skew towards the ridiculous and absurd.
Check Out the Script
And Other Production Materials!
Why does the A.I. always have to turn out bad?
It was a question that I had been asking myself for a while. I had this thought that perhaps the reason we always assume the A.I. will ultimately want to destroy us stems from a natural, but ultimately irrational, expectation that an Artificial Intelligence will think like us. Wouldn't a machine - bodiless, emotionless, with access to sensory input and knowledge vastly different from ours - inherently form thoughts in a way unique from human beings, despite our having created it?
Then Jack Whaley, my long-time collaborator and friend, mentioned that we should do a project with the extremely talented Colleen Madden, an accomplished stage actress whom we've both known for years. We had recently worked with her on a short film, Christmas Trees, and we knew she was looking for more on-screen experience.
So, I was eager to work with Colleen again, and I was interested in a sad robot story. Mix those two ingredients together, and the script for Singularity Stories was born. Add in some of the most talented and hard-working collaborators in the Midwest, and that script becomes the short film we have here today.
Singularity Stories Vol. 1 was shot over two days at a rural farm house (and wedding venue, the Octagon Barn) outside of Spring Green, WI. The shoot went exceptionally well, which is a credit to the excellent team. But even before that weekend, I knew we had something special when I went into the studio with the brilliant Carey Cannon and she recorded all of the Alexa dialogue in under 45 minutes. What made it from that session into the final cut is only slightly edited, and as I was listening to Carey lay down the vocal tracks that would become the heart of the movie, I realized this project was not only actually happening, but could very well be GOOD.

What most people get wrong about the cynic is that the negativity isn't about disdain or superiority. It's not about hate. No, cynicism is born from love and pain. The true cynic is a romantic, but one who has seen their affection be lured in, used, and discarded. The true cynic has been hurt, and so they hide behind a wall of cool dismissal, all to protect their wounded heart.
CineCism isn't about rejecting the mainstream or the popular. It isn't about elevating the artist over the enthusiast. And it certainly isn't about striking a terminally hip stance, or disaffected irony.
CineCism is about loving movies, from the indie feature seen by a few hundred lucky eyes, to the roller-coaster ride that is the next blockbuster. But we've been hurt. Hurt by lazy sequels that do nothing to challenge the formula. Hurt by twee indie dreck that seems to think maudlin equals charming. Hurt by once great artists, titans of the industry, who have lost their way in a forest of inflated budgets and quick CGI solutions.
CineCism Media was created with this mission: tell smart, interesting stories that respect the audience's intelligence while being wildly entertaining. We don't have lofty artistic ideals. We just want to make original narrative content that excites us, that challenges us, and that moves us the way we know only the movies can. We wish to be a safe port in a storm of new media madness and mediocre storytelling.

PCMCIA Parallel Port on Laptop [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!
I bought one of these cards on ebay and finally just today got it to work with Mach2 and my Xylotex board.
The problem was that I had to tell MACH the correct address to look for the port. The address is not the normal address for LPT1, the address was FEE8 instead of 378.
I had a little mini tester to test the parallel port, and I knew the voltages were fine and that the drivers were working in the laptop, but I couldn't get MACH to work until I read that I needed to change the port address.
I searched these forums high and low for the answer to whether these cards will work, and I read several posts that said that they just won't work, but I did indeed get it to work.
This has been an adventure in and of itself. I helped my son build himself a small CNC mill for engraving as a science fair project. Getting the mill built was the easy part, wiring up the motors and sxetting up Mach wasn't tough, but trying to get that laptop to run the whole thing was a real pain in the neck.
Now that I have it working, my son can take his laptop to the science fair and actually run the machine there. It is way cool.
You should be able to do this in windows device manager.
You may need to set it to use any interupt, check the box for legacy support, and set the port to use LPT1.
The setup should be the same for using any device that uses a printer port, zip drive, etc.
Also, be sure you are using the drivers that came with the card, windows could of put it's own driver in there and it may not allow changes.
If none of that works, you could try the settings in the laptop's CMOS.
You may be able to remap the address of the PCMCIA port to 0378 and thus the MACH software may work.
Or at least map the address FEE8 to 0378 or 0378 to FEE8 whichever will work.
windows should map your LPT1 to that device.
The ebay auction link you provided, the description says remapping is one of it's features.
The card is suppose to work for any LPT1 device.
You may have to make some changes to the settings to get it to work.
I was not looking for help in my post, I was merely letting everyone know that I got this card to work with MACH and Xylotex. I had read several posts that said that these cards don't work, and some posts that they do. So I was just telling of my experience.
Thanks anyway though, your explanation is very thorough and someone may need the info.
The laptop is a Toshiba Satelite, I don't have it in front of me right now to check the model number, it was purchased new in december 2006.
I just got a Taig cnc mill off ebay. I also bought the exact same card for my laptop. I put the right address in Mach 3. My problem is that, most of the time, the motors will not start. They will rather shake a little, move slightly and make a grinding noise. Some other time, but much less often, they will work perfectly?! I have no idea what is the problem. I managed to make a couple of circular pocket on wood to learn to use the mill.
It seems to come and goes rather randomly. Like one minute I have perfect control over the motors and suddenly the motors begin to stall and "grind".
Well, if you guys have any idea what it could be I'd be please to try your suggestion, this is really frustrating!
I am assuming that your wiring is correct, I actually had my motors wired wrong to start and had to redo my wiring at first.
I am by no means an expert, but it sounds to me like your motors are not tuned right. I had to play around with my motor tuning to get smooth operation of the motors. I ended up going way way way down on both the acceleration and velocity. My velocity is set to 0.25 and my accelleration is set to 3.500. My motors are 8 wire nema 23 steppers. I am using the xylotex 3 axis board. Since the little mill was built with 1/4-20 threaded rod for the leadscrews, and the motors have 200 steps per revolution, that works out to 25,600 steps per unit (inch). My Z axis is actually a nema 17 6 wire stepper and the steps worked out to 78858 steps per unit (inch). The accel for Z is set to 0.64 and the velocity is set to 0.064.
I tried several other setting before I settled on these setting. At these setting the motors are very strong and they don't miss steps, however, they do get pretty warm when running at slow speeds.
Just play around with the velocity and acceleration until you get the result you like.
Thank you Jim for your answer. I'll give a try tomorrow afternoon and get back to post the outcomes. I don't know anything about cnc, I am brand new to the subject. What is weird is that it sometimes works very well. Also it almost never goes wrong while performing a cut?! It is just very hard to get it started.
Anyway, I appreciate your suggestion and let you know what I get.
That should be it! Let me know if everything is working fine for you.
You don't have to change the address of the parallel port. You just have to give mach3 (I am assuming that is what you use) the right address. So open mach3, open the tab Config, then click on Port and Pins. Then you'll see an address like 0x378 on the left hand side box. Change it to 0xfee8. Then you should be able to start jogging.
That's cool you got the card working.
and I'm trying to get it to work with mach3, with no success so far. I can't find out what port it is to get it to work in Mach3. It appears on 'USB controllers' as 'usb printing support' which does not sound too good to me.
Would anyone know if a port can be assigned to this so it'll work in Mach3?
Have you tried looking at the properties of the card in the "device manager". It should have a selection of LPT1,2,3 etc and the address. Once you have found the address, you can enter this address into Mach3. What I don't know is weather Mach3 will work with large addresses.
I have just got a similar card with with the paln to use it with Mach3 but I haven't had time to test it out yet.

Sarkozy and Hollande box over economy
Nicolas Sarkozy claims he is the only one with experience to save France from financial woes, while François Hollande says Sarkozy caused them.
French presidential elections: how they work, who's running
After months of campaigning and thundering rhetoric, the French presidential elections finally get underway this coming Sunday with the first round of voting in what is a two-round poll. The two candidates who emerge with the highest scores on April 22nd will go on to a final play-off in the second round held two weeks later, on May 6th. The result of the approaching first round is far from decided in advance, while the stakes, amid a severe economic crisis, have never been greater. This simple guide explains how the presidential election system works, who the candidates are, the issues of debate and the factors at play for the outcome of the voting on Sunday.
Economic constraints dampen French election promises
The French presidential election campaign has laid bare the decline in the nation's public finances and lack of wiggle room for next head of state.
Hollande win down to 'anti-Sarkozy vote'
The Economist finds French presidential election Socialist Party candidate François Hollande is likely to win chiefly because he is anti-Sarkozy.
Nicolas Sarkozy hit by defections and poll slide
Nicolas Sarkozy's re-election hopes suffer double setback after a string of public defections and a tumble in opinion polls days before voting begins.
'Nature' quizzes Sarkozy and Hollande about plans for science
Nature magazine asks the leading French presidential election candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, about their plans for science.
Chirac 'will vote for Hollande' says former president's aide
Former French conservative president Jacques Chirac will reportedly vote for socialist candidate François Hollande in the presidential elections.
French opinion polls silent over key campaign issue of race
Unlike in the US, French opinion polls are forbidden from reporting on intentions of voters from specific ethnic, racial or religious background.
French elections in images: hoarse Hollande targets first round turnout
Photographer Patrick Artinian is following the French presidential election campaign trail for Mediapart, with a series of photo and video reportages of the candidates, their supporters, meetings and the milestone events. This weekend, in the Paris suburb of Vincennes, he mingled with supporters of Socialist Party candidate François Hollande as he held his final major meeting before polling begins in the first of the two-round elections on Sunday April 22nd, just as Nicolas Sarkozy held his own rally in central Paris. It was a crucial media clash between the two main rivals, both eager to display their capability of mobilising supporters en masse. While Sarkozy's so-called "silent majority" jumped and clapped in blue, white and red at the Place de la Concorde, a demonstrably more black and white crowd, what Hollande calls his "popular majority", cheered and danced to Caribbean music before the Château de Vincennes.
French elections in images: Sarkozy's last stand, where the guillotine once stood
American Paris-based photographer Thomas Haley has been following the French presidential election campaign with a series of reports posted on his Mediapart blog. This weekend he followed the crowds that turned out for incumbent candidate Nicolas Sarkozy as he held his last make-or-break rally in central Paris, ten kilometres away from a mass open air meeting by his main rival, Socialist Party candidate François Hollande.
Sarkozy 'embarrassed France' with Obama video conference TV stunt
In an unprecedented move in French diplomacy, TV channels were given a video link-up between Nicolas Sarkozy and US President Barack Obama.
French rich prepare for exile in London
Plush London districts are attracting super-rich migrants from France, scared by a tide of tax hikes promised by presidential election candidates.
Hollande seeks to reassure on his credibility with markets
Socialist pesidential candidate François Hollande insists that France won't suffer financial market opposition if he is elected next month.
Sarkozy cites Spanish woes as reason for not voting Hollande
Nicolas Sarkozy said the turmoil in Spain shows why French voters must not hand power to Socialist Party presidential candidate François Hollande.
French elections in images: Hollande rides to the deprived suburbs to rally abstentionists
Photographer Patrick Artinian is following the French presidential election campaign trail for Mediapart, with a series of photo and video reportages of the candidates, their supporters, meetings and the milestone events. Here he follows Socialist Party candidate François Hollande on a day-long tour of socially-deprived suburban areas, or banlieues, close to Paris, the scenes of major riots seven years ago, where the turnout for elections is traditionally low. The often disenfranchised population of these neighbourhoods, composed of a comparatively high proportion of North and West African immigrant families, and first- or second-generation French, suffer from an unemployment rate often above twice the national average. At one meeting he exhorted a cheering crowd: "Don't let others decide in your place, come and vote." Referring to the stigmatization of ethnic and religious groups during the campaign by both the mainstream Right and Far Right, he said: "When I see you, when I look at you, I don't guess at your religion by your face. I will not let France's children be humiliated."


The war for talent is raging across the world. From Silicon Valley to Zhongguancun, organisations and institutions battle to recruit the best the world has to offer. So why is the football labour market viewed any differently to that of other industries and sectors? Surely demand for star players should be no different to the demand for product designers, data scientists and programmers.
Yet in light of the current controversies surrounding issues such as third-party ownership (TPO) and accusations of greed, and due to its mass market global appeal, football is different.
It seems strange then, that so little is known about the inner workings of the football machine – and in particular, those mysterious agents who grease the wheels, move the cogs and, apparently, make vast sums of money in the process.
Football agents make some of the biggest deals in football, sometimes profiting hugely from the talents of their superstar clients. Their role can be defined as "representing clubs and players within the context of contracts or transfer negotiations".
Essentially, they are middlemen. But their role is increasingly growing to include responsibilities traditionally undertaken by the football club, such as being sold to another team. This raises the significant possibility of conflict of interest, when agents and clubs disagree about the player's career path. Muddying the waters further is a hierarchy of power and division of labour within the role of agent so that some smaller agents work under the orders of the more powerful few.
So where do these agents come from? In a report on the big five leagues, just over half of agents had already worked in the football industry. Of these, 23% had a playing career, 13% scouted for players, 7.5% worked as a football manager and, 5.5% were sporting directors.
At the top of the profession, are the powerful few described by the media as "super agents". Jorge Mendes is considered by many to be top of the pile, with clients including Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Costa and Jose Mourinho among the £625m worth of contracts he has secured.
But given the current lack of transparency and regulation, all the agents and their dealings are difficult to identify, although they are viewed as the most powerful men in football.
Despite the significant number of people registered as agents in professional football, their presence is not evenly spread. A recent report highlights that representation in Europe's five big leagues (England, Spain, France, Germany and Italy) is so highly concentrated that half of those leagues' footballers are managed by only 83 football agents or agencies.
These increasingly powerful upper hierarchy of agents operate globallyacross divisions, leagues and continents.
Public and industry opinion towards football agents remains hostile – Napoli's owner, Aurelio de Laurentis, has described them as the "cancer of our world". The media frenzy often directed at agents is adding pressure across the football industry to better regulate them. But football intermediary Jonathan Booker claims that it is those in football leadership, not the agents themselves, who have stood by and let this status quo continue.
And what about the agents themselves? Despite the fact that they should have a key voice in the debate about their role, you rarely hear from them. As part of our research we have interviewed football agents and intermediaries operating across the UK, Europe and beyond.
The buying club can obtain a player who will make their team better without having to pay the full amount the selling club is asking for. And the investor, whether that is an agent or consultant or company, will look for a return on that investment.
Addressing concerns about the impact of agent deregulation by FIFA in April 2015, he continued: "What does football expect? To become a coach in a professional club you need a relevant, often nationally accepted qualification. To become an agent you need to simply pay a small [£500] fee. This has created a context whereby a huge influx of agents have appeared, lacking due knowledge of regulation and impacting upon the system by continually approaching players with misplaced promises whilst trying to gain a living.
FA as agents of change?
In the UK, the picture appears bleak, contradictory and dominated by big money. While we have strong calls by the FA for tighter local regulation, the Premier League is pushing for an easing in youth (aged 14-15) player regulation. This will no doubt heat up the chase for younger and cheaper players and will open up the disturbing reality of child trafficking and exploitation, when agents arrange ownership of very young players from developing countries. There's no suggestion that the Premier League condones trafficking or exploitation of young players.
While agents call for global leadership and governance from FIFA to get rid of the rogue elements from their industry, many observers (and insiders) are treating this is a long-term aspiration (given they have enough to deal with already!). In the interim, the FA has an opportunity to lead and demonstrate a gold standard of practice, by heading up a coalition of stakeholders including the Association of Football Agents, the Premier League, English Football Championship and leagues, Players Football Association and government.
Complete transparency on all transfer and financial sensitivities, a formal and enhanced accreditation process and a national programme of education and training would allow the FA to protect its assets, repair its integrity, and position itself as a leader in football regulation.

State, Communities and Forests In Contemporary Borneo »
Edited by: Fadzilah Majid Cooke
The name 'Borneo' evokes visions of constantly changing landscapes, but with important island-wide continuities. One of the continuities has been the forests, which have for generations been created and modified by the indigenous population, but over the past three decades have been partially replaced by tree crops, grass or scrub. This book, the first in the series of Asia-Pacific Environmental Monographs, looks at the political complexities of forest management across the whole island of Borneo, tackling issues of tenure, land use change and resource competition, 'tradition' versus 'modernity', disputes within and between communities, between communities and private firms, or between communities and governments. While it focuses on the changes taking place in local political economies and conservation practices, it also makes visible the larger changes taking place in both Indonesia and Malaysia. The common theme of the volume is the need to situate local complexities in the larger institutional context, and the possible gains to be made from such an approach in the search for alternative models of conservation and development.


The discussion on establishing a new South Surrey-White Rock municipality or a ward system surely deserves serious consideration.
The discussion that has recently graced these pages on the respective merits, or otherwise, of establishing a new South Surrey-White Rock municipality, or, alternatively, of a ward system in Surrey into which White Rock would be incorporated, surely deserves serious consideration.
The transportation, business and economic axes primarily run east-west, from Crescent Beach to Cloverdale. To recognize this reality provides a number of advantages.
Such a municipal reorganization would significantly extend and vary the tax base for the whole area. The planning capacity would be enhanced, and issues that concern White Rock – such as development options beyond the building of highrises, the provision of affordable housing, the development of community assets such as daycare, community gardens and sustainable food production, improved tourism attractions, the issues surrounding the rail lines, just to mention a few of the city's outstanding challenges and opportunities – would stand a much better chance of resolution within a larger municipal entity.
Not least, an effective planning capacity could examine, with effective community input, much more extensive visions of the future of the area. For example, the possibility of attracting high-tech industries, with associated post-secondary training provision, for which there is space in White Rock, is a possibility worth examining.
As it stands, the municipality of White Rock is too small, too parochial and too blinkered to examine options that could substantially improve the quality of life for residents across South Surrey.
