Dunedin's mayor (Cull) persists with his obsession with global warming and catastrophic sea level rise as being in some way connected to the flooding event of June last year in Dunedin. This, even though local meteorologists dismiss it as nonsense.
In order to pay for the effects of the damage caused, he is now trying to link this to the truly catastrophic damage caused by the earthquake in Christchurch the cost of which is substantially underwritten by central government.
The sketch lampoons the mayor for trying to squeeze money from central government coffers on such patently baseless arguments.

A sister ark 'construction' has also been identified in satirical comments about the stadium.
But what of Noah's contrariness towards rules of the district plan, lack of consultation over the build (see LTP and AP), and obvious parking demeanors incurred by the ark.

█ Message: Worth noting that the council instructs officers that they must write 3 tickets per hour. How have we let councils construct such an unpopular and penal extra tax?
Wellington drivers are being stung by millions of dollars in parking fines, and are 10 times less likely to have them waived than if they parked just 20 minutes away in Porirua. Official figures from Wellington City Council show the number of tickets it issued dropped to 141,341 in 2015, but that still put an extra $6.4 million in the council coffers. In 2012, when the council issued 262,627 tickets, it gathered almost $10.01m in revenue.
In May, it was revealed that the capital's 32 wardens had been told they had to issue at least three tickets an hour. The council defended the "performance measure" and insisted it was not a quota.
The region's councils were asked to supply figures showing how many tickets were issued, how much revenue this generated, and how many tickets they waived.
Did Harls jump on her media bandwagon over a wine or two after she watched Sunday TVNZ's exposé on binge drinking at Dunedin (10 May).
The programme aired at 7:00 p.m. yesterday. The deadline for ODT's Monday edition is 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
So did the Otago vice-chancellor see the programme before writing her opinion piece?
Well, not unless the ODT editor worked some sort of marvel of factory production.
Evidently, Harls conspired with the local newspaper to get her illuminatory thoughts in print today, of ALL DAYS. Chess as the television hoedown-showdown hits her university and the city council.
OPINION The Sunday programme last night once again put the spotlight on the University of Otago for alcohol related harm. This time the focus was on the trouble that is caused by some rambunctious, messy and noisy students and other young people in North Dunedin and other parts of the community.
OPINION Wellington is more of a student town than it used to be – thousands of tertiary students, attending various institutions, live here. They are a welcome economic boost for the city, and they also add to the life of the place: someone, for instance, has to fill up the city's famously rich concentration of cafes and bars. By and large, Wellington has not had the trouble with students that some other cities have faced.
Most notoriously, Dunedin's orientation weeks have often been drunken frenzies of flaming couches and showdowns with police. Wellington's student body would be more happy with a "massive, street-wide wine and cheese evening", one Otago wit quipped in 2012 after a particularly riotous Dunedin episode.
So it's somewhat jarring to discover that, already this year, Victoria University has imposed total alcohol bans at four of its halls of residence after, in the case of the most recent one, excessive drinking, property damage and "overall unacceptable behaviour". (Some bans have since been lifted).
That's more than over-indulgence; it's ugly, anti-social drinking that no-one needs as any kind of life highlight. There is a fine line to be walked here. Tertiary study is often associated with drinking, and some of that is just life – a product of young people leaving home, making decisions for themselves, and revelling in new freedoms. There is no point in being complete wowsers about this, any more than there is in adopting a puritan approach to drinking in New Zealand more generally. Alcohol can be a pleasure, an aide to camaraderie and relaxation. Yet, just as plainly, drinking can be dangerous and miserable – especially among the young. Consuming vast torrents of booze might seem like a game to beginners, but in fact it is hugely risky behaviour – for those who partake, for those who have some responsibility for them, and indeed for anyone they come into contact with.
2.4.15 University rolls down, Harlene not the only problem….

Public Memorial Service (1 February) details below.
Renowned Wellington-based architect Sir Ian Athfield has died. He was 74.
Athfield Architects associate Rachel Griffiths said Sir Ian died in Wellington Hospital early this morning surrounded by family. His death was the result of "unexpected complications" during a procedure to treat his colon cancer.
"Ath had been dealing with cancer for some time with his usual stoicism and inappropriate humour," Griffiths said. "There is … no-one else like Ath and we are devastated by his passing." The Athfield family had asked for time to deal with their grief, she said. No date had been set for the funeral or memorial service at this stage.
Athfield, who was knighted in the most recent New Year Honours for his work in architecture, won more than 60 awards for his work. In a professional career spanning half a century, his stamp was imprinted across Wellington, and with Roger Walker, he was probably New Zealand's leading exponent of modernist architecture. His most well-known works included the City Library and its nikau palm columns, built as part of the Civic Square redevelopment in the 1980s, and his own sprawling Khandallah house. He also designed Jade Stadium in Christchurch, which was damaged in the February 2011 earthquake.
Walker said he was "still in shock" on getting the news of Athfield's death.
The New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) have organised a public memorial service to celebrate the life and work of Sir Ian Athfield, to be held at 3pm, Sunday 1 February, in Civic Square, Wellington.
'Architect Athfield' examines the frustrations and achievements of one of New Zealand's most lively and innovative architects. In 1975 Ian Athfield won an international competition directed towards providing housing for 140,000 squatters from the Tondo area in Manila. Ironically, Athfield had jumped to international prominence before any wide-ranging acceptance in his own country. This film examines Athfield's practical philosophy of architecture, and culminates in his trip to the Philippines, where he hopes to make his prize-winning design a reality.
[YouTube] Julia Gatley's interview with Sir Miles Warren and Ian Athfield on the 23rd of June 2012 at City Gallery Wellington.
Ian Athfield on his new honour and he talks about this weekend's forum on how architects and designers can help out following natural disasters.
Leading New Zealand architect Ian Athfield yesterday praised Dunedin's wealth of heritage buildings but urged a rethink of aspects of the city's one-way-street system. Mr Athfield, of Wellington, was in the city yesterday to give the annual New Zealand Historic Places Trust R.A. Lawson Lecture, as part of the Dunedin Heritage Festival. Addressing about 200 people at the University of Otago's St David lecture theatre, he said "we have to look at heritage differently". One-way street systems, in Dunedin and elsewhere, could sometimes separate important heritage buildings from their communities, and could make it difficult for people to approach such buildings on foot because of traffic volumes. Mr Athfield […] urged people to take a more flexible and holistic approach to heritage, treasuring the wider context of historic buildings, including their landscape settings, rather than seeing them only in isolation.
Only 1,000 copies printed with 100 special edition copies that include one of five photographic prints. At 140 pages, a true collector's item for those interested in New Zealand history, architecture, design and photography.
Portrait of a House is a photo book by photographer Simon Devitt in collaboration with graphic designer Arch MacDonnell (Inhouse Design). This is Devitt's first foray in the photo book genre. His book explores the Athfield House – the 'village on the hill' – an architectural experiment that Ian Athfield started in 1965 on the Khandallah hillside in Wellington, and which he is still altering and extending today.
The house is renowned in bohemian and academic circles for its many colourful dinner parties and occasions, and is infamous with neighbours past and present for the antics of its free-range livestock and frequent run-ins with Council. Roosters have been shot, construction shut down and architectural pilgrimages made.
This is an extraordinary story told through Devitt's sensitive eye, blended with historic photographs, paintings and drawings from the Athfield archive. Clare Athfield's contribution of her own recipes (dating from the 1960s until now) complements a selection of personal letters by family, friends, colleagues and clients which are insightful and often very funny – memories that make Simon's photographs all the more potent in their beauty and silence.
Arguments for intensifying the density of housing tend to fall into two categories: Affordability and putting a halt to urban sprawl.
Ideas talks to two architects who advocate higher density housing not just for those reasons but because they believe, if done right, it will result in more liveable houses and communities.
Robert Dalziel, the co-author of A House in the City: Home Truths in Urban Architecture, has travelled the world looking at traditional models of high density housing and come to some interesting conclusions; and Ian Athfield, one of New Zealand's most celebrated architects, talks about the lessons he's learnt from building his own house which now combines living quarters for 25 people with office space for another 40.
The rebuilding of Christchurch is clearly an emotive issue. Wellington architect Ian Athfield and Christchurch planning and resource management consultant Dean Crystal join us to discuss the rebuild debate.


Graphic design is visual language, it seeks to express emotion of clarify information. As a language, it doesn't use a vocabulary of words and sentences, but of images, colors, composition, knitted together with a grammar ruleset of things like composition and contast. Graphic design is often something that can be (is) exchanged commercially, can be sold for money. Therefore, as a process it is not only inherently communicative, but also externally; the designer's clients will have to be persuaded of the fact that the design needs to look blue, there must be a reason for it to look blue, and this reason should be communicated.
We can't just walk up to our clients, offer them something bluish and expect them to like it because we do... they will want some kind of explanation of why we are using blue, why blue is the logical choice in this case. Thus, designing is a conceptual process, a result of conclusions and decisions based on research and background information. The what, why, how, when and who play an essential role in this process.
"Design is a process of observation"
The world is full of strange and crazy things. The designers looks at the world through a microscopic lens, observing those oddities, enhancing them, exposing them. Each design process involves asking oneself how it can be visualised in a way that makes it interesting to look at and think about. There is also a social factor that plays an important role: since the designer has the power to display the world in a certain way, he or she plays a part in social awareness and social critique; the things that are made should relate to the world and expose its flaws, not just look beautiful and sell for big money.
One of the most common statements about design and arts is that everything has already been done, all styles and influences have been drained dry. Therefore, it is fairly useless and boring to create yet another design based on a style that has been uses over and over. Each creation follows its own rules, based on action and reaction, without any preconceptualised style or esthetic. Design is not dead, it follows a recurring circular motion: in ten years time we will see old things be made anew - and something that is regarded as ugly now may be considered beautiful in ten years time. Beauty is a relative notion based on conformity.
"Design is an associative process"
The elements in any graphic work, texts, images, color, all relate to each other, and to the outside world. Often, these relations are more important than the elements themselves. Thinking about observation, we could once again say that design seeks to expose things and display them in new ways, based on the associations and internal relations that are made.

Are we all Anti-Stairway

It's not that I'm anti-Stairway (not at all) but more of a "can't you play something else that's not usually played on the radio" opinion.
That being said, not too long ago STH came on the car radio while I was waiting for someone, and I sat there, closed my eyes & really listened to it for the first time in a long time. It was magical- what an amazing song!

I would never bash it or tire of hearing it and those who say they don't like it because its been played on the radio a lot are just following the media or anti Zep brigade. That excuse to me as Zep fans is the worst reason you could have for not liking it.
At least say you don't like it cos you simply don't like it
I don't really care if Robert doesn't like it or like singing it, to me it was, is and always will be a piece of historic classic rock music. Despite what RP says I don't believe even he can ignore it's place in musical history generally and of course in Led Zeppelin. It helped define the band and its music, so called albatross or not, I don't think or believe Jimmy or Jonesy have the same feelings about it Robert does.
Jimmy wrote a tune anyone would be proud of, if Robert is uncomfortable with his lyrics for it, thats fine. As he says it was then and he left the man who wrote them behind long ago.
The song still resonates for many people, ask people about Led Zeppelin who are not really fans and they all know the song. So what if its the only one they have heard or know. They KNOW it!! lets not be snobbish about it cos we know more songs than they do.
I remember being shaken by it the first time I heard it back in 1971, the intro still sends tingles through me and thats what matters, not whether anyone else does or doesn't. get the same response to it.
My late mum loved the song ( she heard every song they did and loved others too)
It's going to be played at my funeral. and that has always been my wish.
If some of you are anti STH then fine but lets not have a go at those who still love it.
59LesPaul
Fine,as long as the opposite holds true.
I'm not sure if everyone's really BASHING the song- I know I'm not. But when you hear it over and over and over again on the radio some of the magic is lost. But then again, as I noted earlier I still love to hear some of the better live versions. Particularly 6/23/77.
Great song, a classic indeed. But unfortunately, overexposed.
Well said! I couldn't agree more
Where am I bashing?
Naw. YOU SUCK! You made Stairway cry!
BIGDAN
No, I love Stairway. My favourite Zep song ever.
Hi 'lzfan715'
Not my favourite, none are, I love to listen to any Zepp song, anytime, any place, anywhere, they are my Martini.
Even now, when ever I have seen a Zepp Tribute Band, everyone always wants to hear and applauds "Stairway", lets face it, its one of the songs that made them. And as for Robert not liking it anymore, so what, do we have to do or behave like he does? No I dont think so.

Yes Dan,you must do AND behave like Robert does or you're not playing on the same team.Folks who aren't team players will be cut.It's automatic grounds for dismissal.

Hey Danny!
How many of you remember buying the album?
I went going with some friends to the record store(that's what they called back in the Sone Age! ,who were not into Zep and buying the album for that song!
I would not be one here and post if they were not my favorite band,....
The only time I will play STH,is on Christmas morning,coffee in hand,then I blast it!
Pagey's solo on the Telly rips my heart strings,.........
KB(Merry Christmas,Led-heads!)
Nowhere,I just wanted to make the point.It goes both ways...
Yeah,I suck......on Marlboros,a bottle of beer here and there....

I was 14 when I bought the album. Threw it on the old stereophonic that mom and dad had and proceeded to watch both of them feel the hair on the back of their necks stand up, just like mine
The old man just looked at me and said " good song "....lol
Hi 'Rorer714'
No you cant call me "BIG DANIEL", I'm "BIGDAN" and thats final, OK?
I'm a Jimmy fan, I only do and behave like Jimmy, singers are two a penny, I could listen to Zeppelin without Roberts voice, but not without Jimmys guitar.
And let me tell you mate, it will take someone with a name bigger than mine to dismiss me, till then I'll stick around, if its alright with you that is?
You and me are from the same egg mate, (Dinosaur egg that is)
And a Merry Christmas to you too.
Sorry BIGDAN
It's alright with me

Stairway To Heaven is one of my favorite songs whether Robert Plant likes it or not.

Its a great song when you play the record, its not great to hear it on the radio, because major fm radio stations in ny have overplayed and overhyped the song for way too long.
Devil's Haircut
I waited in line for several hours for the record store opening to get my copy. We got there before daylight !
So, you don't frequent other band boards ? If another band wasn't your favorite you wouldn't be posting there, if you hold true to your statement. I think there may be alot of people here who Led Zeppelin isn't their favorite band, but still count them among the best and enjoy the board in general, not just the Zep content.
I post on a few band boards, even my second, third or fourth favorite.
Didn't have to worry about getting a copy so there was no need for me to get to the record store early. Just walked into 'Kelly's' and picked it up. I believe I paid $2.50 or something like that. I think I bought a few more albums that day but IV was the one I went for.
Well there were only 2 stores in Honolulu that advertised that they would have it, so I made sure I got my copy as early as possible. There were sometime shortages on the islands back then, the West Coast teamsters or whateva's got lazy occasionally. I also did the same when Houses of the Holy came out in '73.
I paid about the same. You know, funny thing...kids today bitch about CD prices so they don't buy, only download. 25 years ago an album had about 35-40 minutes for say, $2.50. That same $2.50 would be about $20.00 now at least and CD's are what....$15 at the most and more time in general. The deals on CD's are way better than what we paid in the early 70s and moolah was harder to come by at minimum wage teenage jobs at about $1.75/hr.
Yeah, that's about what I was making working part time. I was still in High School, didn't have to pay rent at home at that time, and spent every single cent I made on albums and concerts Oh, and a few other goodies

Stairway is the greatest rock song of all time. I could play the studio version over and over for 100 times (and I sometimes do, well, maybe 50 times, LOL), and I would never tire of it. You get to the end of the song, and it is so uplifting, and you just want to hear it again just to get to the ending so you can get that high, and then you want to play it again, get the high, and then play it again, over and over.
I am thrilled everytime I hear it on the radio. Today at lunch it came on the Sirius Led Zeppelin Channel just as I arrived at the restaraunt and I couldn't get out of the car until it was over, even though I was on a tight schedule. I was thinking how ridiculous it was that I couldn't turn the song off as I have dozens of versions of the song on CD, vinyl, DVD, IPOD, etc..., but I just could not bear to miss hearing the ending.
Oh..and I meant 35 years ago !
Same here, matter of fact I still spend a big majority of my discretionary income on music in one way or the other, always have.

Well, outside of the obvious hike in expencess that all of us have come to know well since those day's, I just realized that I'm spending the bulk of my disposable income on the same stuff too.
That's OK though, we could have joined the Moonies or something like that

The Commonwealth of Virginia – America's Top State for Business
Published on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 by Expansion Solutions Magazine
Virginia was founded as a business venture in 1607, representing the first English settlement in North America and a gateway for global enterprise. More than four centuries later, Virginia is ranked by CNBC as America's Top State for Business in 2021—the first state in the U.S. to earn back-to-back victories and the Commonwealth's fifth win since the study began in 2007. Virginia's leadership position can be attributed to a strong economy, stable business environment, and highly educated workforce. The Commonwealth also received top scores for education, infrastructure, and technology and innovation.
From Capital One Financial Corporation and General Dynamics Corp. to Dollar Tree and Owens & Minor, Virginia serves as the headquarters for 38 Fortune 1000 firms. Continued investments from industry leaders like Micron, Dominion Energy, Nestlé USA, The Hershey Company, Altria, Northrop Grumman, Gerber, Merck, Lidl US, Volvo Group, and Microsoft demonstrate the Commonwealth's competitiveness across diverse target sectors.
Business Climate Advantage
Virginia's pro-business environment is critical to its value proposition. The Commonwealth is one of only 13 states that holds a AAA bond rating from all three ratings agencies, and maintains a six percent corporate income tax—one of the lowest in the nation—that hasn't increased since 1972. Virginia also boasts the fifth-lowest average commercial electric rate in the United States and building costs that are six percent to 18 percent below the national average, depending on the region.
Advantageous Location and Infrastructure
Virginia offers unparalleled access to national and international markets from its midpoint location on the East Coast. This prime position within a one-day drive of 47 percent of the U.S. population is complemented by the Commonwealth's extensive transportation infrastructure. Virginia is home to the second-densest interstate system in the Southeast, with 28.3 miles of interstate for every 1,000 square miles of land area. Ten railroads, including CSX Corporation and Norfolk Southern Corporation, operate on the state's network of more than 3,000 miles of freight railroad mileage. Virginians have access to 16 commercial airports with flights to more than 100 domestic and 50 international destinations, including Washington Dulles International Airport, a gateway that provides non-stop flights to every continent in the world except Antarctica and Australia.
Virginia companies can easily navigate the global marketplace through The Port of Virginia, the third-largest port on the East Coast by total TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) and served by every major shipping line, including CMA-CGM, which maintains its U.S. corporate headquarters in Norfolk. As the only East Coast port with authorization for 55-foot channels, the Port boasts deep shipping channels, no height restrictions, and double-stack rail service with two Class 1 railroads – enabling it to regularly service 13,000+ TEU vessels. With over $700 million already invested as part of a $1.5 billion modernization and expansion project, including terminal improvements, dredging, and technology, The Port of Virginia is on track to create the deepest, widest, and safest commercial shipping channels and harbor on the East Coast by late 2024.
Connectivity is key to Virginia's position as a choice location for international businesses, and more than 880 firms from over 40 countries call the Commonwealth home. These companies hold over $52 billion in assets across the Commonwealth and demonstrate the wealth of opportunity available to global companies seeking growth in North American markets from Virginia.
Talent Advantage
CNBC ranked Virginia as the best state for business in large part due to its world-class education system (No. 2) and highly skilled workforce (No. 3). Virginia's nationally ranked colleges and universities are preparing today's workforce for tomorrow. The Commonwealth's higher education system is the tenth largest in the nation by enrollment and includes 23 community colleges with 40 campuses around the Commonwealth. There is a community college within 30 miles of every Virginian, providing businesses direct and sustained access to highly skilled talent. The Commonwealth's workforce successfully supports the state's substantial industrial base and represents one of the most productive and educated demographics in the U.S. Nearly 40 percent of Virginia's population has a bachelor's degree or higher, making the Commonwealth the sixth-most educated state in the country (and first in the South).
Virginia is committed to building the talent pipeline to meet companies' needs in every region of the Commonwealth. Virginia maintains a robust workforce development system and is pushing new boundaries in the development of 21st-century talent through its innovative workforce solutions. In 2019, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership launched the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, a world-class, turnkey, custom workforce recruitment and training incentive program executed in collaboration with the Virginia Community College System, with funding support from the Governor's administration and the Virginia General Assembly. The program accelerates new facility start-ups through the direct delivery of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a company's unique products, processes, equipment, standards, and culture. All Virginia Talent Accelerator Program services are provided at no cost to qualified new and expanding companies as an incentive for job creation.
Customized, job-specific training services are designed and delivered using methodologies and media determined to be most effective for accelerating learning in each topic. These can include hands-on training, simulations, broadcast-quality videos, illustrated work instructions, instructor-led classroom sessions, animations and e-learning modules. All company-specific materials developed during the project become the property of the client and all proprietary information is protected by a non-disclosure agreement. Recruitment services can include localized company- and job-specific recruiting web pages, applicant tracking, video job descriptions, quality-of-life videos, high-potential candidate identification, social media outreach, advertising, job fair support and pre-employment training to help both employers and potential employees achieve good matches.
In addition to recruiting and training services, the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program offers a robust suite of organizational development and operational excellence training and consulting services that help companies establish a collaborative culture and optimize individual performance.
The Virginia Talent Accelerator Program is catalyzing additional investment in the Commonwealth from both new and expanding global companies across varying industries, and Business Facilities recently named the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program the second-best state workforce development program in the nation, just two years after the program launched.
Virginia boasts the highest concentration of tech industry workers in the U.S. To strengthen the industry talent pipeline across the Commonwealth, Virginia is making performance-based investments in public higher education institutions statewide. Through its historic, innovative Tech Talent Investment Program, the Commonwealth of Virginia, donors, and corporate partners are investing more than $2 billion to expand Virginia's tech talent pipeline, doubling the number of graduates each year in computer science and closely related fields, ultimately resulting in 32,000 additional graduates over the next two decades in excess of current levels. Additionally, Virginia higher education institutions already produce roughly 12,000 tech-related degrees and certificates annually in areas ranging from computer science to modeling and simulation. Fourteen Virginia universities will share state funding over the next two decades for the expansion of their degree programs and construction of new facilities, fueling the growth of the Commonwealth's robust tech sector.
Virginia continues to build on its centuries-old legacy of innovation, always adapting and prospering in a global economy. The addition of these programs to Virginia's workforce development capabilities further enhances the Commonwealth's competitiveness, while continued collaboration among state, regional, and local partners around both industry-wide and company-specific workforce needs will ensure a talent pipeline that is prepared for the technologies and industries of the future.

Villager and Madame: Muckraking On Sunday
By Raphael Tenthani
"If you tremble
with indignation
at every injustice
then you are a comrade of mine"
Ernesto Che Guevara
Let me tell you a tale of two countries rolled into one.
Villager John has been knocking on doors of the rich in his village looking for piece-work without much luck.
"Times are hard," the rich man Mr. Sato tells Villager John. "I have no work for you."
He walks on, Villager John, knocking on this door and the next.
What must I do? Wonders Villager John.
His feet are sore, Villager John, thanks to the hours of walking. He left home at dawn; it is now approaching dusk.
He starts going back, Villager John, to the hovel he calls home wondering what to tell his wife and kids.
Then, as he passes the rich man Mr. Sato's compound, Villager John hears some noises.
Out of curiosity, Villager John goes to check.
A goat is tethered to a pole.
Maybe the herd-boy has forgotten to take it back to its pen, Villager John thinks.
A fleeting thought goes through his mind. He looks around, Villager John, nobody is in sight. God forgive me, he prays silently.
He fishes out the knife he always carries with him and cuts the rope. He musters all his energy and carries the goat and starts running away with it.
But the goat bleats and alerts the rich man Mr. Sato's compound. Villager John twists the goat's neck and runs as fast as he can.
At his hovel, Villager John quickly skins the goat and his family has braai all night long, their first taste of meat since the last Christmas, and their first semblance of a proper meal in months.
But, as he was running away from the rich man Mr. Sato's compound, Villager John did not realise that his 'Jesus' (sandals made from used tyres) had come off.
"I know it's his for he came looking for ganyu at my place, Your Honour," the rich man Mr. Sato tells the magistrate.
"Besides," testifies the rich man Mr. Sato's herd-boy, "we confiscated this goat hide from his compound."
So Villager John is quickly convicted; he is sentenced to three years imprisonment with hard labour for theft.
Life is tough in prison; food is scarce, the hard labour is real hard. A room meant for four inmates has 20. Villager John, being the villager he is, is cheated of the already scarce food by town crooks. When he can take it no more, he picks fights with the crooks.
"We cannot consider Villager John for good behaviour for he picked lots of fights," the Chief Warden tells the delegation from the Ministry of Home Affairs which is visiting the penitentiary to look for prisoners to be included on the President's Independent Day pardon list.
Half-way through his jail term, Villager John gets sick. The warden responsible for the clinic positively diagnoses tuberculosis but only prescribes Aspirin for him.
"There are not enough drugs in hospitals to waste on criminals like you," says the warden.
It is until he becomes so emanciated he can hardly walk when a decision is made to take Villager John to the government hospital.
But it is too late to save him; Villager John dies two days later, chained to his bed.
Meanwhile, in the city Madame – a top government official, is playing monopoly with public funds. She and her colleagues have just discovered the payment system can be dribbled.
Madame dreams of having a 'half' State House.
But her husband laughs. "But, Make Thoko, we already have a big, spacious government house; why should we need a 'State House'? Besides, we have that one house we are letting out to the British ambassador; once we retire in ten years' time, we will claim it back."
"Listen and listen good, Bambo a Thoko," Madame tells her husband. "You know the new payment system in government is so porous we can skim billions from it. Everyone is doing it."
"But, being controlling officer in your ministry, any theft can be easily be traced back to you."
"Don't be stupid, Bambo a Thoko," she admonishes her husband. "I raise a voucher, I tell someone to sign for it, I raise a cheque in favour of our company. I'll be the one to approve payment when the bank calls, Bambo a Thoko. Since the voucher will be in order nobody will know we didn't supply any goods or services to government, pure and simple!"
And so her dream 'State House' project is actualised; building materials are all imported – furniture from China, chandeliers from Italy, rugs from Iran.
Within six months, Madame has her 'half' State House.
Not so blind justice
But, as she and other government officials continue playing monopoly with the public money, somebody slips up and the whole skimming scheme unravels.
Madame is arrested; the Auditor General traces that she skimmed about US $1 million from the government payment system.
"One of your five houses is already worth US $200,000," her lawyer advises her. "Plead guilty quickly and offer one house; it will cover the money you stole. Restitution is the best mitigating factor."
"But won't they forfeit my little State House?"
"Why? Government's interest is to get back the money you actually stole. How much profits you made from the money you stole government is not interested."
And so Madame pleads guilty to the simple charge of theft.
"She showed remorse by pleading guilty and, therefore, did not waste court's time," the judge rules.
Caressing his goatee, Justice Two-boy adds: "Besides, she paid back all the money she stole."
But the judge does not want to be taken as a sissy.
"But, that notwithstanding," he says, "stealing government money is serious, so I have no choice but to give her a custodial sentence of three years," he declares.
But her lawyer already anticipated – read negotiated – this and has already talked to his friends in the prisons department.
"You know what, Dick," the lawyer whispers to Chief Warden Dick, "don't be too hard on Madame; she only stole government money, whose money is that anyway?"
Dick grins. "You're my friend…But you know this stingy government has just increased the peanuts we call salary by only 24 percent."
"Don't worry, Dick…"
So Dick cleans up the prison's 'sick bay' for Madame. A mattress, that can be expanded to the user's preference, is smuggled into the 'sick bay'.
Warden Dick brings into the 'sick bay' stuff that, as per procedure, were taken away from Madame – a purse, shoes and a belt. Madame takes out a few wads of bank-notes from the purse and hands them over to Dick.
"I am sorry, Madame," says Dick sheepishly as he struggles to make the wads of cash fit in his back pocket, "today you'll have to do without a bath. But we will make arrangements where you'll be having your bath."
After a week, Madame feigns a bout of hypertension and Warden Dick recommends the country's top-notch private clinic.
"Even prisoners have rights," he tells a curious junior warden who reminds Warden Dick of a prisoner named Villager John who was sent to a poorly-equipped government facility. "Remember, we're here not to punish, but reform offenders."
So Madame spends the first year of her incarceration between the prison and the private clinic, taking baths and meals at a nearby hotel in between.
"She can't take your m'gaiwa with beans," the doctor writes in his medical report. "We're a signatory of various conventions on the rights of people, including prisoners, remember?"
And, because most prisoners soil their behaviour records with fights over food, Madame's behaviour record is clean. So, less than half-way into her sentence, Home Affairs officials assess her record.
"The committee recommends that the President considers Madame for Independence Day pardon list for good behaviour," writes the committee.
So, while Villager John is six feet under half-way into his sentence due to harsh prison conditions, Madame lives happily ever after while reclining on her divan on the upper floor of her 'half' State House half-way into her sentence.
Thus ends the tale of a country where there is one justice for the 'haves' and another for the 'have-nots'.

Supporting the wedding industry
Member of Parliament for Clwyd South, Simon Baynes MP, has spoken out in support of the wedding venue industry in Clwyd South during a Westminster Hall debate in Parliament on Monday 9th November.
Mr Baynes addressed fellow MPs during the Live Events and Weddings: Covid-19 Support debate, stressing the importance of the issue to his Clwyd South constituents and the local economy. Mr Baynes spoke about the series of roundtable virtual meetings that he has organised over the last few months with representatives from the Clwyd South wedding venue industry, such as Phil Godsal of Iscoyd Park, Andrew Marshall of Tower Hill Barns, Tracey Owen of Tyn Dwr Hall and others from further afield in Wales. These meetings were also regularly attended by UK and Welsh Government Ministers.
Mr Baynes also highlighted the importance of the industry to rural economies such as those in parts of Clwyd South. And stressed that while this is a devolved issue in Wales, it is vitally important to recognise that the wedding venue industry across the UK is facing the same issue.
During his speech, Simon Baynes MP said:
"The limit on numbers for wedding venues, whether that be 15 or 30, is arbitrary and should be related to the size of the venue. The limit is out of kilter with European venues, where the figure is often significantly higher—up to 100. The venues I talked to say that in the majority of cases, 50 guests is an economic number, and that it is difficult to break even with lower numbers.
"With all due respect to everyone in the health industry, weddings are not super spreaders of the virus. All the guests are known to the bride and groom and therefore easier to control in terms of track and trace by the venue. There is also a strong vested interest among the guests—to them, there are no random guests—to look after each other health-wise.
"Plenty of economic support has come forward but, as many have said this afternoon, it is not targeted in the way that it needs to be for wedding venues. One suggestion of a practical solution, given that a lot of venues are suffering from the withdrawal of clients' deposits—that is now getting to be a very serious problem—would be the underwriting or financial furloughing of those deposits. That would bring stability and a breathing space so that the wedding venues can plan with greater confidence for the future."
Business Minister, Paul Scully MP, in his closing remarks for the debate, said:
"It is pleasing to see the dedication of my hon. Friend the Member for Clwyd South (Simon Baynes) who, as a number of people have done, has brought the industry together, listened to the sector, reflected on its views and been working tirelessly for those sectors that are so hard pressed and unable to open fully, or in some cases at all."

LOS ANGELES TIMES CARTOON: Easy Financing for Trains
I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times about issues related to California and the Southland (metro Los Angeles).
Gov. Jerry Brown has a dream, a dream that would serve as his greatest legacy — a high-speed train that would slash the six-hour drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco to a relaxing ride a smidge over two hours.
It may seem like a pipe dream now, but similar links have transformed other countries. When I visited Paris as a kid, the eastern city of Strasbourg was a weird, remote border town where people spoke German and claimed to like black blood sausages. Thanks to France's TGV trains, an all-day schlep is a quick day trip — two hours each way — which paved the way for Strasbourg to become an important headquarters for EU bureaucrats and Eurozone business types. Moreover, two hours on the train are not like two hours behind the wheel of a car. You can get a lot of work done on a train.
It doesn't take a big stretch of imagination to see why Silicon Valley and Hollywood might want to work together more closely.
Unfortunately, Brown is having trouble scaring up the $68 billion estimated total cost of the project.
Fortunately, money seems to be easy to find these days.
California's parks department, for example, used to be in the habit of squirreling away tens of millions of dollars for a rainy day — in the middle of a budgetary typhoon. Maybe they have a few bucks under the cushions now?
Geeks are willing to fund just about anything on Kickstarter. Sure, people are starving, but how about $67,000 for a statue of the fictional character Robocop?
Then there are like 70 "alternative" cybercurrencies, all based on, well, nothing. If catcoins and dogecoins and sexcoins can convince people to part with real ("fiat") money, why not traincoin?

France footballers questioned in connection with underage sex case
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 - 01:06 PM
French footballers Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema were held for questioning by police today as part of an investigation into an alleged prostitution ring.
They were taken in by a special prostitution brigade in Paris at the request of an investigating magistrate.
The inquiry became public this year after a young woman claimed that several soccer players on France's national team paid to have sex with her when she was underage.
Zahia Dehar said the players were not aware of her age when they had sex with her.
Prostitution is legal in France, but prostitutes must be over 18 years old, and clients are liable if they are not. The case is in the investigation stage, and no charges have been filed.
Real Madrid striker Benzema and Bayern Munich forward Ribery could face up to three years in prison and a €47,000 fine if found guilty of paying to have sex with a minor.
"It is an intentional offence, he would have to know her age, which wasn't the case," said Ribery's lawyer, Sophie Bottai.
"She would have to look minor, which wasn't the case, she would have to tell him she was minor, which wasn't the case, since all over the press she claimed that she was adult and that she was more then 20 years old."
Dehar said she had been paid for sex since the age of 16 when she began partying in Paris. She claimed she met Benzema at a nightclub and he bought her services, and alleged that Lyon and France forward Sidney Govou had, too.
She told Paris Match magazine that Ribery flew her to a hotel in Germany for the night as a birthday present to himself.
Despite the scandal, Ribery was called up to the national team for the World Cup in South Africa, where France did not advance past the first round following a string of poor performances. Benzema was left off the squad, with then-coach Raymond Domenech saying it was because of his unimpressive season.
Dehar had written a letter to Domenech asking him not to take the case into account before announcing his squad for the World Cup.


Mary F. Pols, former movie critic for Bay Area Newspapers, had always wanted to have a baby. Four years ago, at age 39, she met a cute guy in a bar, and nine months later gave birth to a son. Those months in-between — to keep the baby or not, the reactions of friends, family, co-workers, her rocky relationship with the baby's father — make up her memoir, "Accidentally on Purpose: A One-Night Stand, My Unplanned Parenthood, and Loving the Best Mistake I Ever Made" (Ecco/HarperCollins, $24.95, 288 pages).
It's beautifully written: at times funny, often poignant, and always brutally honest. Publishers Weekly says "Candid and unaffected, Pols provides an important lesson about not being willing to compromise herself, and that being brave can bring the richest rewards." "Accidentally on Purpose" comes out June 3 and is already being considered for a movie and a TV series.
Join Mary F. Pols in conversation with Times Book Club founder Lynn Carey at 7 p.m. June 9 at Town Hall Theatre, 3535 School Street (at Moraga Road), Lafayette. The theater is intimate, so the audience will also be able to participate in the conversation. Books will be sold at the event at a discount. Tickets are $8; call 925-283-1557.


The physical and chemical processes taking place in filtration leaching of uranium from uranium ore sample by sulphuric acid solution have been studied by modern physico-chemical methods (X-ray diffraction, scanning electron spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis, optical emission spectroscope, ICP OES). Column leaching test was carried out for ore samples obtained from a uranium in-situ leaching (ISL) mining site using deluted sulphuricacid to study the evolution of various elements concentration in the pregnant leach solution. It has been shown that the uranium in pregnant solutions appears by dissolution of calcium and magnesium carbonates and uranium minerals as well. It was found the decreasing of filtration coefficient from 0.099 m day-1 to 0.082 m day-1, due to the presence of mechanical and chemical mudding. Partial extraction of uranium (85%) from the ore has been explained by the slow diffusion of sulfuric acid to the uranium minerals locates in the cracks of silicate minerals. It was concluded that the studied uranium ore sample according to adverse geotechnical parameters is not suitable for uranium extraction by filtration leaching.

Well hello there! It's been a while.
We are still adjusting to life in Minnesota, and one way we did that was buying a cabin in Wisconsin this past February. Trust me, that makes perfect sense.
Playing, walking, sledding and sliding around on the frozen lake. It's still a totally foreign concept for this born-and-raised California girl.
We have just recently passed the three-year anniversary of our move to Minnesota. And we're still very pleased with our new lives here. It's been a bit tough making friends, but we're getting there.
Doesn't this little sweetie look thrilled with her new digs? To see more of her playhouse, go take a look!
And, as a last update for now, I am in a band now! I'm one of two voices in a group called "Slapdash" and we're coming up on our second show this Friday! It's tons of fun and I really love my bandmates. We met on Craigslist, of all places. You can find us of Facebook!

Ohio Lawyer Suspended for Bilking Prisoners' Families

Ohio Lawyer Suspended for Bilking Prisoners' Families
On November 1, 2006, Ohio's Supreme Court suspended attorney Derek A. Farmer from the practice of law for two years.
Admitted to the bar in 1999, Farmer became known as a prisoners' lawyer, maintaining a practice that focused mainly on criminal appeals and civil rights. His suspension raises the specter that he was taking advantage of those "who are usually of modest means, education, and sophistication, and therefore are among the law's most vulnerable," the Court stated.
Ironically, Farmer was formerly incarcerated himself; he was convicted in 1974, at the age of 16, in connection with two murders, of a policeman and security guard during a bank robbery, and served 18 years in prison.
Farmer's suspension followed a finding of guilt on two counts. First, the family of Charles Martin had consulted Farmer about appealing Martin's convictions for aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and rape. During consultations, Farmer assured Martin's family that he definitely would be able to secure Martin's release.
He said he would accomplish this by filing an intensive appellate brief. That would require withdrawing a previous attorney's brief, which Farmer stated "wasn't worth the paper it was written on." He then filed a plagiarized version of the original brief, including its erroneous statute citations. Over a two-year period Martin?s family paid Farmer $9,000 towards a $41,000 flat fee.
When confronted with a request for a refund, Farmer refused. In fact, he tried to entice further work with a false claim that the victim had recanted. The Supreme Court found that Farmer also had misled the state's Disciplinary Counsel.
The second count of misconduct involved Farmer's receipt of $5,000 to represent prisoner Searcy Rutledge, Jr., $1,000 of which was non-refundable. After two years, Farmer had performed no work on Searcy?s criminal case but refused to return any of the money paid by Searcy's fiancé.
The Court determined these acts made Farmer unfit to practice law; the Court also found that he collected excessive fees and failed to keep records of time expended on cases. Moreover, the Court held that Farmer was deceitful and would "exaggerate his advocacy skills and any prospects for success regardless of whether the claims were justified."
As such, the Ohio Supreme Court suspended Farmer from the practice of law for two years, with one year suspended if he refunded all but $1,000 to each client plus statutory interest, and if his work was supervised by a monitoring attorney during the stayed suspension period. See: Columbus Bar Assn. v. Farmer, 111 Ohio St.3d 137, 855 N.E.2d 462 (Ohio 2006), motion for reconsideration denied.
On March 2, 2007, a total of $7,915 was reimbursed to one of Farmer's former clients by the state Clients' Security Fund, as Farmer had failed to issue the refund despite a directive from the Supreme Court to do so.
PLN has previously reported on Farmer [PLN, Sep. 2003]. In 2003 he hired Margaret Ghee, the former head of the Ohio Parole Board to work for his firm in representing Ohio prisoners in parole board hearings. At the time, ethical concerns were raised about the appearance that prisoners could buy parole by hiring the duo. Ghee had paroled Farmer from prison and assisted him in gaining entry to law school.

** SOUL MAN HEADS TO THE WAITING ROOM ON 30.08! **
Hackney soul boy Albert Gold celebrates the release of a brand new single called 'Give In' by hopping over the blood on the tracks, ie the A10 to Stoke Newington for a headline show at The Waiting Room, as per this information below.
'Give In' features up-and-coming electro producer Marble Empire, who will join Albert on The Waiting Room bill. A dizzying combination it is too, as 'Give In' is all-over-the-place in the best possible way, with sweethearted synths fuelling a chorus which positively gallops over the horizon.
Club Fandango & fierce panda present:
+ MARBLE EMPIRE + YAZ AIYLA
STOKE NEWINGTON WAITING ROOM
(175 Stoke Newington High St, London N16 0LH)
ALBERT GOLD (onstage 9.40pm) 'Give In' follows his 'Second' EP which was indeed the second of three Albert Gold Extended Play releases slated to come out over the course of the year, the first being the summertime '17 'Oxygen' EP. Hackney boy Albert's expansive velveteen tones have drawn comparisons with Luther Vandross, Frank Ocean and Sam Smith. More new Golden tunes coming real soon…
MARBLE EMPIRE (onstage 8.45pm) is 21 year-old singer/songwriter/producer Matt Berry from North London. Berry is a multi-instrumentalist who writes and produces all his own material, which he describes as a blend of, "Gritty basslines, jazz harmony and guitar lines soaked in effects". Influenced by the likes of Ben Khan, Jungle, SG Lewis and Frank Ocean, tentative early single releases last year quickly gained him much attention and saw Marble Empire feature in the BBC Introducing Top 30 for 2017.

YAZ AIYLA (onstage 8.00pm) is an alternative R&B singer songwriter (born Yasemin Taylor-Gencer), who creates powerful and pure neo soul-rooted music.

Aiyla takes inspiration from an eclectic group of genres, from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Tom Misch, The Internet and Erykah Badu to Banks, Bononbo, Tash Sultana and Santana, aiding her in creating a delicately and delightfully put together sound.

Home/Health/Covid-19 : Vaccination Of Young Children Launched In The United States!
Covid-19 : Vaccination Of Young Children Launched In The United States!
Injections of the Covid-19 vaccine to children aged 5 to 11 began Tuesday evening in the United States.
Judy Francis Send an email December 4, 2021
A "Turning point" For The American President
The vaccination "will allow parents to put an end to months of worry for their children," said US President Joe Biden immediately after the announcement, hailing an "important step forward" and a "turning point" in the fight against the pandemic.
The government had largely anticipated the decision of the health authorities by procuring enough doses for this age group, and by starting to send millions of them to the four corners of the country. Since the clearance from the FDA, "there hasn't been a time when the teams haven't collected, packaged, and sent vaccines," Jeff Zients, the pandemic coordinator, assured Monday. the White House. "They have been working around the clock and will continue to do so."The vaccination campaign for young children "will reach its full capacity the week of November 8," he said.
Pfizer 90.7% Effective
More than 1.9 million cases of Covid-19 have been recorded among 5 to 11-year-olds in the United States. More than 8,300 children have been hospitalized and more than 2,300 cases of MIS-C (pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome) were identified. About a hundred deaths have been counted.
According to clinical trials conducted by Pfizer on thousands of children, the vaccine has demonstrated an effectiveness of 90.7% against symptomatic forms of the disease, recalls AFP. In addition to preventing them from falling ill, the expected benefits also include a decrease in the number of class closures and a possible reduction in the transmission of the epidemic to the general population.
The doses will be available in pharmacies, pediatric hospitals, but also in offices of pediatricians, family physicians, and some schools. The caps on vials intended for children are orange, making them easily recognizable compared to the purple caps on vials for older age groups.
57% Of Parents Ready To Have Their Child Vaccinated
According to a survey presented by the CDC on Tuesday and conducted in September of 1,000 parents, 57% said they would "definitely" or " probably" vaccinate their child. Among those who are hesitant, the concerns above all relate to short or long-term side effects.
Earlier today, an expert committee convened by the CDC had unanimously recommended Pfizer's vaccine for ages 5 to 11. These independent scientists reviewed, during a day of discussions broadcast live, the available data on the impact of the epidemic in children, the effectiveness of Pfizer's vaccine, and its possible side effects.
A Few Hundred Cases Of Myocarditis
The main concern was the risk of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, detected in adolescents and young adults (especially males) after vaccination with Pfizer or Moderna. Health authorities have confirmed nearly 880 cases in those under 30 (more than 600 remain to be assessed), of which around 830 required hospitalization. Most cases resolve within a few days.
Nine deaths were suspected to be related to myocarditis after the vaccine. But out of six cases so far reviewed, vaccine-related myocarditis has ultimately been ruled out "as the cause of death," pediatric cardiologist Dr. Matthew Oster said in a presentation. "The risk of having a heart problem is much higher if you catch the Covid than if you take this vaccine," he added.
Experts further believe that the risk of myocarditis should be rarer in young children, thanks to the reduced dosage, and because this risk may be related to testosterone levels. " If I had a grandson I would definitely get him vaccinated, " said Beth Bell, infectious disease specialist, and committee member. " We have excellent evidence of efficacy and safety. We have a favorable benefit-risk analysis," she insisted.

Q: How can I get the coordinates of a clicked mouse (I need math calculation only) I have a box with a width of 800 and height of 600.
Then my screen size (container) is 1000 and its height is 700.
then, if we say:
x = container
y = rectangle
z = point in space

The engine only outputs the z based on its coordinate in x, therefore I need to calculate the coordinate of z in y.
I have:
z
size of x
size of y
coordinate of z in x

and what I want?
coordinate of z in y

A: Click for Demo
Jquery
  $("#id").click(function(e){
       var parentOffset = $(this).parent().offset();
       //or $(this).offset(); if you really just want the current element's offset
       var relX = e.pageX - parentOffset.left;
       var relY = e.pageY - parentOffset.top;
    });

Html
<div id="id">
           //or $(this).offset(); if you really just want the current element's offset
</div>

A: Demo Link
It gives co-ordinates only for related container
Here is Script
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#container").click(function(e){
   alert(e.pageX - $("#container").parent().offset().left);
    alert( e.pageY - $("#container").parent().offset().top);
 });
});

Q: Grub2 menu won't appear in Ubuntu 14.04 So I recently dual booted Ubuntu 14.04 onto a Windows 10. I handled the partitioning correctly. I checked that it is there after a reboot and I have a installed it with
secure boot off,
hibernation off,
system protection off,
and a power setting off.
Yet my computer goes straight to Windows 10 with no Grub prompt to choose Linux. I have press/held the shift, f1, f2, f10, f11, f12 key and only the f12 key has brought up a menu, however the menu only appears when the install USB is in and my only choices are to boot Windows or INSTALL Ubuntu.
How can I fix this so a grub menu appears on boot?
I have seen in other posts a mysterious etc/grub folder, can i edit this from Windows? If so, where is this folder?

A: What I think has happened is that the GRUB bootloader got overwritten when Windows was installed.
This seems to be the quickest way to fix it:

*

*Boot Ubuntu live via a CD or another method

*Open a terminal in the live session and run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

this installs the boot repair utility, which will reinstall GRUB, and hopefully fix your problem

*Type boot-repair into the console

*Using the recommended repair will attempt to fix the problem, and if it fails it will generate a pastebin link which you can post on the original question to provide further details.
