This module detects the presence of a train and sends a signal to the Signal Controller. In addition to informing the signal controller that the block is occupied, the detector can be used to illuminate an LED on your panel board to show occupancy.
It operates on principle of detecting a minute flow of current between the rails and will detect a loco or illuminated car, marker lights on a caboose, or conductive paint across axles. To protect the rear of a train, it is necessary to have a device in the rear car that allows a small amount of current to flow between the rails.
This detector performs well with a conventional throttle (even when the power is off) or with Command Control systems such as CTC-16, PMP-112, Dynatrol, and Keller Engineering's "On Board".
The detector will perform equally well on HO, N, and Z scales and also may be used with O scale if we substitute two larger diodes ($1.00 added cost).
Its printed circuit construction with industrial grade electronic components is robust enough that there have been no failures in 10+ years of use.
The detector requires a +12 volt filtered DC isolated power supply one detector is required for each block.
Detectors are available assembled or in kit form, and if more than one kit is ordered, we will assemble one free to use as a model along with our detailed assembly instructions.


The article introduces how to convert converts ASF files to 3GP with an easy-to-use ASF to 3GP Converter Software. The software could encode 3GP file with different codecs such as H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, AMR-NB, and AAC. It's an ideal 3GP converter for your mobile phone. Besides 3GP, the software supports popular formats such as 3GP, MP2, WMA, MOV, M4A (MPEG-4 audio), 3G2, M4B (MPEG-4 audiobook), etc. The software could convert MKV to WAV, MPEG to PPM image sequence, 3G2 to MP4, M4V to JPG image sequence, DVD to AVI, and so on.
ASF to 3GP Software supports batch conversion and, is compatible with Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000.
ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format. ASF is an extensible file format designed to store synchronized multimedia data. The advantage of ASF format is that you may begin playing your video file before it is streamed to the end. Instead of specifying how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded, ASF does more in the structure of the video/audio stream which is quite similar to the function performed by the AVI, QuickTime, or Ogg container formats. ASF files specify the structure of the audio or video stream, but not the encoding method. ASF is most commonly used for streaming media purposes. Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) are the most common file types contained in an ASF file. The ASF specification has been submitted to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) for consideration. Note that the file extension abbreviations are different from the codecs which have the same name. An ASF file consists of three objects: a Header object containing information about the file itself, a Data object containing the media streams, and an optional Index object that can help support random access to data within the file. They often contain Windows Media Audio (.WMA) or Windows Media Video (.WMV) data. Files of ASF format support playback from digital media servers, HTTP servers, and local storage devices. The Advanced Systems Format (ASF) is the file format used by Windows Media. They can be compressed using a variety of video codecs. It supports scalable media types and stream prioritization; as such, it is a format optimized for streaming. It supports data delivery over a wide variety of networks and protocols while still proving suitable for local playback.
3GP is a multimedia container format defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for use on 3G mobile phones but can also be played on some 2G and 4G phones. Audio imported from CD onto a PlayStation 3 when it is set to encode to the MPEG-4 AAC codec will copy onto USB devices in the 3GP format. The 3GP file type is primarily associated with '3GPP'. Most 3G capable mobile phones support the playback and recording of video in 3GP format (memory, maximum filesize for playback and recording, and resolution limits exist and vary). Defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project and 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 respectively, these standards seek to provide uniform delivery of rich multimedia over newly evolved, broadband mobile networks (3rd generation networks) to the latest multimedia-enabled wireless devices. The MP4 and the AVC file format specifications described usage of MPEG-4 content in the ISO base media file format. These extensions were registered by the registration authority for code-points in ISO base media file format ("MP4 Family" files). 3GPP is the new worldwide standards for the creation, delivery and playback of multimedia over 3rd generation, high-speed wireless networks. Some cell phones use the .mp4 extension for 3GP video. The Nintendo DSi supports .3gp on an SD card. A 3GP file is always big-endian, storing and transferring the most significant bytes first. It also contains descriptions of image sizes and bitrate. For the storage of MPEG-4 media specific information in 3GP files, the 3GP specification refers to MP4 and the AVC file format, which are also based on the ISO base media file format.

Moving Pictures: Cardell Dance Theater's 'Excerpts'
by Carolyn Merritt
Blazing searchlights trip pounding drum and bass. A gaggle of white-smocked kids chase white balloons and streamers. White-uniformed nurses bounce to the beat. In the background, a woman in an evening gown and a general wave to their admirers, arm in arm, stiff and regal, reaching out yet distant. He tries to prop her up, but she keeps faltering – her body has failed her.
The woman is Evita, María Eva Duarte de Perón, Argentina's (in)famous former first lady – saint and tireless advocate of the poor to supporters, whore and tyrant to detractors. The man is Juan Domingo Perón, thrice-elected Argentine President whose untimely death precipitated a military coup and the ensuing "Dirty War" that introduced the word desaparecido to the world, and whose aftermath plagues the country to this day. The year is 1952, when Evita succumbed to cancer at the age of 33. The children are Argentina's youth, their class differences momentarily leveled under their tiny lab coats. The fiesta is both reality and façade, for behind the Peróns' nation-changing social welfare programs lay a repressive regime. As imagined in Ciudad Evita (2004) by choreographer Silvana Cardell, this festering repression takes hold of Evita's body, foreshadowing decades of chaos to come.
Portrayed by Olive Prince and Bethany Formica, Evita is split in two before our eyes. As Prince lays dead, nurses (Mina Estrada and Shavon Norris) prepare Formica's body for burial, and Estrada narrates slides of Argentina projected behind. Seated calmly, eyes closed, like a sleepwalker at the manicurist, Formica jolts upright at the word "mummified" (the fate of her body) and again at an image of violent riots following the 2001 economic crisis (the fate of her country), both beyond her control. A duet between the two Evitas evolves from her renowned gesture – arm extended, forearm turned in, evincing equal parts strength and sacrifice – into a struggle to escape her body, as each extends beyond and collapses under the restraint of the other. A brutal tango with Perón (Jumatatu Poe) suggests a parasitic relationship and Evita's prescient understanding of its costs in her famed slogan, ¡Vida por Perón! (Life for Perón!). Launching ganchos (leg hooks) and ochos (figure eights) against his unyielding embrace, Prince flops and falls every which way, but Poe drags her up time and again.
Ciudad Evita takes inspiration from Argentine artist Daniel Santoro's paintings, but it is Cardell's knack for crafting a story and the dancers' commitment to their characters that bring these images to life. Set to a musical collage that includes trip-hop, Arvo Pärt, and recordings of Evita's speeches, the work explores the woman and the myth through her body – an uncanny harbinger of Argentine history and potent symbol of the public/ private divide.
Double Vision (2011), inspired by Cardell's daughter's drawing, Doppelganger, examines the post-operative body in a duet that is less narrative than indelible imagery. Maria Urrutia shimmies laboriously to center stage, shifting and readjusting a rippled floor-length skirt, until Formica emerges from underneath in matching skirt and makeshift bandage bustier. Pedestrian noises and repeated doctor's orders blend in a soundscape, evoking tunnel vision, the reverberating effect of jarring news, and the confusion of feeling a stranger in one's own body. Holding hands, they fold into and out of one another, flip upside down and back, multiply and dissolve. Bathed in deep red and warm white lights, their bodies transform – shadows loom large then shrink, threatening to swallow but then collapse under their presence.
Also on the program was Solas (work-in-progress 2012), a whimsical fantasy world inspired by Amy Cutler's illustrations in Turtle's Fur, featuring the always stunning Formica and impressive performances by up-and-comers Leanne Grieger, Sinead O'Neill, and Zachary Svoboda.
Excerpts explores the potential of visual art as source material for choreography in works created between 2004-2012, however the real showcase is Cardell's artistry. From two-dimensional images, she builds worlds that move before us, thanks, in no small part, to a cast of formidable dancers who surrender entirely to her vision. Like words that jump from the page, the movement leaps from the performers' bodies into ours, and we cannot help but be changed in the process.

How a city-based non-profit foundation in China is reaching out to the world
By: Tammy Pham
The Shenzhen Foundation for International Exchange and Cooperation, usually known as 'Shenzhen Foundation' or 'SFIEC', started 4.5 years ago at the end of 2014. This foundation began as an idea from the Shenzhen government meant to address the lack of an organization dedicated to promoting the city and its domestic and international relations.
During the first three years, SFIEC dabbled in diverse fields, including trade and commerce, science and technology, education, culture, art, environmental protection, sister cities exchange, health and hygiene, etc. After three years, SFIEC was able to consolidate its resources and ideas and released two flagship projects at the end of 2017: CityPlus and the Shenzhen x Lancang-Mekong Initiative (S x LM Initiative).
Lancang-Mekong Initiative: Opportunities for Development and Improvement through Cooperation
Lancang-Mekong Initiative (LMI) is under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) is a sub-regional corporation mechanism that was first initiated in 2014 by China's Premier Li Ke Qiang. The mechanism focuses on six countries along the Mekong River – Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China. Through cooperation and diplomacy, the project aims to develop each country and to create a win-win situation for all.
China raised the idea for a cooperation mechanism, prompting the other five countries to join. The overall goals of the initiative relate back to the goals that the United Nations has set out in the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. While LMC works toward regional prosperity and stability, SFIEC wants to provide help wherever they can. This lead to the creation of SFIEC x Lancang-Mekong Initiative (SFIEC X LMI). Through their partnership, SFIEC contributes ideas for LMI's projects.
SFIEC x LMI was created at the end of 2017 and is still relatively new. During this first wave of efforts, they came up with four projects:
Shenzhen Experience Sharing - Site Visit
Photo credits: SFIEC
Special Economic Zone Experience Sharing
This small project is known as the Shenzhen specialty since the city was the first in China to go through market reform in 1979 by Chinese President Deng Xiaoping. After forty years of development, Shenzhen became one of the most prosperous city in the country, behind the two municipalities of Shanghai and Beijing. Therefore, Shenzhen and SFIEC are very knowledgeable about economic development and policy design.
To help the other five countries within LMC, SFIEC organizes seminars, company tours, and site visits for the members of the government who specifically work in economic development sectors. This program works specifically with the governments of the other five countries, providing a think tank type of support. The project was met with open arms by many foreign officials and has gained official recognition from Cambodia and within the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
solar product installation-Mekong River Sunlight Village Project
Mekong River Sunlight Village
In many places in Cambodia, electricity comes at expensive rates. What makes this issue even more difficult to address is the lack of electricity grids in remote areas. To build one would come at a very high cost for the cities and the country. What SFIEC brings to the table changes the game. In Shenzhen, the off-grid solar technology is very mature, making it possible for them to provide Cambodia with solar equipment. SFIEC worked with a local company called D.Light, to bring solar equipment to Cambodia.
By offering off-grid solar equipment, SFIEC x LMI promotes cheap and clean energy, thus meeting the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. This project was inspired after a SFIEC x Diinsider study found that children do not do homework because they do not have light sources in their homes. Lighting has brought more productivity to households because children are able to read and do schoolwork and women can sew. This project has provided 200 sets of off-grid solar equipment to families and 100 sets to public areas. To set up the equipment in Cambodia, the Civil Society Alliance Forum handled the training and installation processes.
Another by-product of this initiative is the successful partnerships among NGOs, private, and public sectors.
In terms of its next steps, the initiative signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Civil Society Alliance Forum to continue a second phase in Cambodia where they are hoping to increase the number of equipment in public sites. Eventually, SFIEC x LMI aims to bring this project to all five countries.
Eyesight Screening-Mekong River Brightness Action
MeKong River Brightness Action
The Brightness Action project focuses on providing cataract cures. SFIEC works with a Chinese-based NGO called Yu Panglin Charity Foundation to provide health services in rural areas. The services include eye disease screening, cataract surgeries, medical equipment donation, and medical training. The project has kicked off in Cambodia and the team hopes to do 17 screenings and provide 150 free surgeries. SFIEC x LMI currently works with volunteers and a local hospital called the Takeo Eye Hospital.
Genetic Screening for Thalassemia and Deafness
This project is still gathering funds and is relatively new. Its goal is to work with local health and medical NGOs to provide free maternal screening for disease prevention and control. The screenings will be for thalassemia and deafness, the two most common diseases that afflict mothers within the Mekong regions. SFIEC is hopeful that the program will launch in the Fall of 2019.
Alongside these projects, SFIEC is continuously doing amazing work in the Mekong region. This young foundation is proof that cooperation between NGOs, public and private institutions, governments, and nations can lead to positive effects and promising developments.

Bat Flew In The Window? What To Do If You Encounter Wildlife at Home
Leave a Comment	/ Home Improvement / By admin
I don't know about you, but I'm deathly afraid of creepy crawlies — especially if they can fly — so I usually keep most of my windows closed. It's not really the best solution, because my home is poorly ventilated (which brings another host of issues) so I've been looking into getting a magnetic insect screen installed.
However, part of me is glad that I don't stay in Upper Boon Keng, where bats have been reported to fly into residents' homes since 2000. I mean, bats are awesome and all, with their nifty echolocation and ability to hang upside down, but they are known to be possible disease carriers.
Some of my friends have told me about birds hanging out on their balcony, monkeys stealing their food, snakes and chickens too! A certain barn owl has also been having regular meetings with PM Lee as well.
It's not uncommon for wildlife to wander into your home
It's not so much about wildlife intruding into our space as we are encroaching into theirs. We chop down their forests for land to build our homes, shopping centres and more; when their natural habitat is destroyed, they either seek out whatever remaining spots are left, die out or are forced to co-exist with humans.
According to the Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES) Annual Report for 2018-2019, there was a 20% increase of calls made to the 24-hour ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2019, a total of 9,811 calls. Of these, 3,376 wild animals were rescued, including those from the illegal exotic pet trade and native wild animals.
To maintain the delicate balance between urbanisation and nature, the National Parks Board (NParks) will work with the community to transform Singapore into a City in Nature. It was also outlined in 2013 land-use plans for 85% of Singapore's population to live within 400m of a park by 2030. And it works — these greening policies have seen the return of some wildlife species.
Currently, some properties close to Singapore's nature reserves include the aptly lush Foresque Residences near the Dairy Farm area, HDB flats in Segar Road that face Zhenghua Nature Park, Le Wood at the foot of Bukit Timah Hill, and Thomson Impressions near Windsor Park.
Wildlife that you may encounter in Singapore
Being close to nature, it's nice to rouse to bird calls instead of traffic sounds and go for an early-morning jog at the nearby park; but there is also a need to know what to do in the event of a wildlife encounter.
1. Bats
Bats were recently reported swooping into the homes of those living at Blk 14, Upper Boon Keng Road. According to a The New Paper article, it seems that ACRES receives four to five bat reports a week. One resident the paper spoke to said she shifted thrice (from Yishun to Yio Chua Kang and then to Sembawang) but encountered bats each time.
Do's & Don'ts:
If a bat flies into your home, stay calm and leave it alone. It should fly away after feeding. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap if you come into contact with it. If you're growing a fruit tree like chiku, harvest the fruits within your premises as the bats are attracted to them; you can also install lighting or hang shiny CDs to deter the bats.
2. Monkeys
In January this year, a monkey reportedly gatecrashed a child's birthday party in Bukit Panjang, but this was not the first time these primates have been spotted in the area. Though they largely live in the Central Catchment Area and Bukit Timah Reserve, macaques also hang around Kent Ridge Park, Changi Village and MacRitchie.
It seems that the macaque that gatecrashed the party was earlier fed by a resident before it engaged in more monkey business. Rule of thumb: Don't feed the monkeys. If you happen to live in an area where monkeys are common, consider monkey-proofing your home by installing mesh/grilles on your windows and doors, plus secure pet entrances. Do also keep food out of sight, including prayer offers, and use a cloth bag to carry groceries as these smart primates tend to associate plastic bags with food and may accost you on your way home. Monkeys are also attracted to garbage bins, litter and fruit trees.
Wild boars are usually sighted in Tuas, Thomson, Punggol, Pasir Ris, Seng Kang and Woodlands. Some known areas where wild boars live are in the Central Catchment Area and Lorong Halus. There have been reports of wild boars injuring a pregnant woman, charging at golfers with piglets in tow, and even crashing into glass doors at Seng Kang MRT station.
Wild boars usually attack when they feel threatened or cornered — that includes whipping out your mobile phone and taking a photo with flash. As they can grow up to 100kg, they're certainly not to be trifled with so stay calm and move away slowly from the animal. Never feed them as this will encourage the mammals to return to urban areas to find food.
A 2.5m-long python was caught in Jalan Bukit Merah, in a Spooner Road flat. Other python sightings were at Pasir Ris, Bukit Batok and even via a toilet bowl in an Upper Thomson shophouse. A cobra, which is venomous, was also found in a landed property near Dover MRT. My 60-year-old aunt also single-handedly battled a python that crawled into her 4th storey Tiong Bahru home with an umbrella at night.
Snakes tend to look for dark areas to hide in, so it's best to keep your distance and alert a professional to remove the slithering reptile. Make sure your pets and children are also kept away from the area, and close all doors in the room, except those that lead outside. If the snake is in your garden or pool, you can use water or a leaf skimmer to get it on its way. Sometimes, snakes are attracted to your birds or worse, your rodent problem.
All over Singapore it's common for birds to occasionally hang out at the window ledge or perch on the grilles, singing their songs before looking quizzically and flying away. Some friends grouse about regularly chasing birds out of their balcony as they leave droppings everywhere. These are usually mynas, and rarely chickens, hornbills or barn owls.
Deter birds from entering your home by making sure food is not left in the open and that rubbish is swiftly taken care of. Consider also installing mesh on the windows, hanging wind chimes or applying non-toxic bird-repellent spray.
What to do if you have wildlife encounters in Singapore
Should you ever have a wildlife encounter, remember 4 things:
These aren't pets and can be unpredictable
Leave them alone / leave the area
Do not feed them!
Call a professional
Aside from that, there are a couple of authorities you can contact for assistance.
ACRES deals with the rescue of both native and exotic wildlife, in public places or in your home (the service is free of charge, but you can donate). You can also report cases of suspected poaching or animal cruelty to them. However, refrain from calling if the animal is just roaming and doesn't need any help / isn't in danger / not bothering anyone.
ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline — 9783 7782 (24 hours)
NParks (AVS, previously AVA)
On 1 April 2019, all non-food plant and animal related functions of the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) were transferred to NParks, under the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) cluster. The AVS functions as the first responder for animal-related feedback. You can contact the AVS for enquiries and feedback on animal-related matters.
Animal Response Centre — 1800 476 1600 (24-hours)

Today is #MaddenDay where Madden 17 comes out officially. One person not too thrilled with Madden 17 is Dez Bryant. After his 2015 season was mostly lost due to injury the Dallas Cowboys WR Dez is pissed off that he has a 90 rating in Madden.
"It is what it is," Bryant said after Friday night's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. "We're just going to see what happens. Like I told Madden, they put me at 90, I'm not worried about that. That rating going to shoot up real quick, you best believe that."
It seems like Dez changed his tune from earlier because he was not joking at first, I heard a quote by him calling an "insult". Honestly I don't know if I blame him for being upset. Dez is probably top 3 WR in the NFL but after a season where he only had 400 yards and 3 TDs it's understandable why his rating went down. I get that pro athletics are usually competitive AF and have huge egos but to me this is so stupid. Stupid that he's so butthurt, but also stupid that he is only a 90. In 2015 Dez was hurt and so was Romo. Just not a great recipe for a productive season and good Madden ranking. If Gronk get's hurt and misses half the season he should still be the best rated TE in Madden because he is. Dez should probably be a 94 or something but it is all semantics and the fact that I'm even blogging this is kind of ridiculous.
But speaking of Rob Gronkowski.....still not okay with Gronk as the Madden cover boy. You're a fool if you think the Madden Curse is dead. Gronk is held together by rubber bands and paper mache at this point. Every hit he takes I think is going to be his last.
But back to Dez I totally understand his beef. He is behind the following WR rating wise: Antonio Brown (97), Julio Jones (96), A.J. Green (93), Odell Beckham Jr. (93), DeAndre Hopkins (93), Larry Fitzgerald (91) and Alshon Jeffery (91) which IS kind of a joke, but that leads me to my next point.
Yo who TF cares what your Madden rating is? So perfectly Cowboys, big market team but they are basically irrelevant. Make the playoffs every 4 years then go 5-11 the next year, rinse and repeat. Idk I think Dez should worry about being on the field more than his Madden rating. If he balls out, it will go up. It's as simple as that. Even if they think it, you're never going to hear players on the Patriots (because we know how to run an organization) cry about madden ratings.


Kendrea Johnson was found dead with a noose around her neck inside her foster home in Minnesota. The 6-year-old's grandmother does not think the foster care death was a suicide, but agency records show the child had homicidal and suicidal thoughts up to seven days per week. Police officers have reportedly stated that the manner of Johnson's death could not yet be determined.
The foster care suicide occurred in Brooklyn Par, Minnesota, on December 27. Police are reportedly strongly considering that Kendrea Johnson committed suicide. In June 2013, the 6-year-old foster child was assessed by medical professionals, who determined that Johnson was having suicidal or homicidal thoughts, and mental health treatment was ordered.
Records reportedly also indicate that Kendrea Johnson also exhibited signs of "severe guilt" and allegedly felt she does not feel either "acceptable" or "lovable." Johnson also reportedly feels responsible for being removed from her home and being placed in foster care.
The 6-year-old was placed in foster care last year, after a child protection agency accused the girl's mother of failing to adhere to an "action protection plan" and of drug abuse, according to the Star Tribune.
While in foster care, Kendrea Johnson's behavior reportedly changed, and "one foster mother" said the little girl wanted to kill herself by jumping out of a window. Johnson also drew photos of a child hanging from a rope while at school. Healed ligature mars on the sides of her neck were discovered by Minnesota police investigators.
The child protection agency report also indicate that while Kendrea Johnson had suicidal thoughts every single day of the week at one point, such feelings had allegedly dissipated to five days per week in the days leading up to the child's death. The same investigation report also states that the 6-year-old foster care girl was in "good mood" just a few hours before her body was found. Kendrea had enjoyed a second helping of her dinner, and then went to her bedroom to watch television.
Johnson had been reportedly been looked in upon about 10 minutes before her lifeless body was found hanging from a rope. In the initial police report, an officer had reportedly noted that the knot in the noose appeared "too sophisticated" for a child so young to accomplish.
What do you think about the Kendrea Johnson death? Foster care suicide or murder?

The quarter-final phase is about to start with the Netherlands and Portugal as the top teams of the IHF Women's U17 Beach Handball World Championship. The semi-finals will be played later tomorrow.
Main Round – Group I

Bastrop, Texas, July 29, 2016 -- CWC Labs, the analytical science branch of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center, today announced water and soils testing services that analyze samples for 20 elements, including 7 toxic metals. Details are available at CWClabs.com.
The service, available via a sampling kit purchased online, allows anyone to collect a soil or water sample and send it to the laboratory for authoritative scientific analysis. There, accredited scientists analyze the sample to determine its parts per billion concentrations for 20 elements, including 7 toxic heavy metals (like lead, arsenic and mercury), 3 major minerals (such as magnesium) and 10 trace elements (such as zinc and selenium).
Because of increased fracking activity across the nation, many Americans are also concerned about the possible contamination of private well water from fracking-related activities. CWC Labs' water testing service allows individuals to sample their own well water and receive authoritative scientific analysis of metals, minerals and trace element contaminants.

Election day.
I might have liked to have sent a message in these elections confirming my desire to leave the EU but the Brexit Party set itself up as the party of no deal thus stands atop a mountain of lies and collective self-delusion. A mass retreat from the real world. Not in my name.
To acknowledge the risks of no deal and argue that the political landscape demands more radical action (and having an idea what to do after) might be persuasive but these people are pushing the idea that Brexit can be fudged without grave consequences. That makes them irresponsible liars and propagandists waging a zero sum game culture war which everybody loses. They are no longer interested in the outcomes. They are only interested in winning for its own sake even if that leaves Britain weaker and poorer.
Being that the Brexit blob never defined a viable outcome they will always cry betrayal which tells you that this is a demagogue's crusade interested only in massaging grievance while masquerading as democrats.
Theirs is the belief that leaving the EU leaves us free to act unilaterally without consequence; The notion that what we do is in isolation from world politics and that we have the might to withstand global forces even superpowers struggle to bring to heel. A fantastical notion of glorious sovereignty where the world will look the other way as we throw international conventions into the bin, expecting that we retain the same levels of carefully nurtured soft power. All you have to do is believe hard enough.
This delusion is no basis for a decision of this magnitude with repercussions lasting through decades. If this pig headed anti-knowledge obstinacy is the thing that ultimately costs us Brexit itself, there will be none more deserving of defeat. It won't be the forces of remain that defeats Brexit. Rather it will be our political system as a whole that probed the inconsistencies and found no satisfactory answers. Much though I would like to leave the EU, it would be a rare example of the system working if no deal is defeated. If the price of that is no Brexit at all then it will be the likes of Farage and Mogg who take the greater share of the blame than May or even the useless remainer bunch.
Just deserts for parliament

Diminishing hopes

Liza Lehman (Londres, 11 de juliol de 1862 – Pinner, Middlesex, 19 de setembre de 1918), nascuda Elizabeth Nina Mary Frederika Lehmann, va ser una soprano clàssica i compositora anglesa, coneguda per les seves composicions vocals. Va destacar en el cant, ja que tenia una bona veu de soprano. També va comprondre diverses peces per a concert i va escriure un llibre teòric de cant, Practical Hints for Students of Singing. L'any 1910 va fer una gira per Estats Units, on va cantar i interpretar la seva obra vocal en recitals. A més, va ser professora de cant a la Guildhall School of Music l'any 1913 i la primera presidenta de la Society of Women Musicians.

Biografia

Família i infància
Lehmann va néixer en una família d'artistes. El seu pare era Rudolf Lehmann, pintor nascut a Hamburg de pares amb arrels angleses, alemanyes i italianes. La seva mare, Amelia Chambers, va ser una talentosa cantant, professora, arranjadora i compositora escocesa de cançons i peces clàssiques que arribà a veure publicada i estrenada la seva obra amb les inicials A. L. Els seus pares van viure a Roma a inicis de la dècada de 1860, però van tornar a Londres per al seu naixement l'11 de juliol de 1862. Va passar els cinc primers anys de la seva vida a Itàlia i la família va traslladar-se defintivament a Londres l'any 1866.

Primers anys de formació
Al contrari de moltes de les seves coetànies nascudes en famílies més convencionals, Liza Lehman va ser animada pels seus pares a desenvolupar la seva carrera artística. I és que la família Lehmann estava immersa en els cercles musicals del moment. Havia rebut a casa seva, a Roma, personalitats com Franz Liszt o organitzava vetllades musicals a Londres, a l'estudi de Rudolf Lehmann, amb intèrprets com ara Anton Rubinstein o Raimond von zur Mühlen.

Va començar la seva formació rebent classes de piano i cant sota la tutela de la seva mare, qui estava determinada a aconseguir que la seva filla tingués la carrera musical professional que ella mai va poder assolir, per després seguir estudiant cant amb Alberto Randegger i composició amb Niels Raunkilde a Roma. Posteriorment va rebre classes de Wilheim Freundenberg a Wiesbaden i finalment va ser alumna de Hamish MacCunn i Jenny Lind a Londres.

Carrera professional com a intèrpret
El dia 23 de novembre de 1885, Lizza Lehmann va debutar en el Monday Popular Concert al Saint James's Hall de Londres. Malgrat el seu ampli registre vocal, no tenia gaire resistència i potència vocal, motiu pel qual es dedicà des d'un inici als recitals.  La bona rebuda de l'audiència i dels crítics, obtinguda gràcies al seu gran gust musical, li va facilitar poder freqüentar com a intèrpret aquest cicle de concerts, en els quals va conèixer Joseph Joachim i Clara Schumann, que la van promocionar. A més també va fer carrera al Crystal Palace, al Philarmonic, als concerts Novello's Oratorio i al Festival de Norwich, entre d'altres.

Entre el seu repertori hi havia oratoris i un gran ventall de cançons per a solista dels segles  i , encara que també va interpretar peces del romanticisme primerenc. També va passar tres setmanes a Frankfurt amb Clara Schumann treballant en lieder de Robert Schumann, marit de Clara Schumann. A més, els programes de Lehmann incloïen sovint les seves pròpies cançons, destacant Eight German Songs, publicades el 1888 juntament amb altres dels seus treballs.

El 1889 va publicar el segon volum de cançons, Album of Twelve German Songs, amb poesies de Prutz, Mirza Schaffy, Geibel von Fallersleben i Ruckbert.

Fi de la carrera interpretativa i retir a la composició
Tot i el seu èxit com a intèrpret, el dia 14 de juliol de 1894 va oferir el seu últim concert al St. James's Hall i es va retirar com a cantant i concertista degut al seu casament amb Herbert Bedford, pintor i compositor anglès. A partir d'aleshores es va dedicar únicament a la docència i a la composició.

En les seves memòries i entrevistes va afirmar que es va alliberar de l'estrès i el patiment que li suposava la seva carrera com a cantant, sense haver pogut gaudir cap dels nou anys dedicats a la interpretació. Així doncs, va viure la retirada dels escenaris com una oportunitat per dedicar-se a la composició, quelcom que segons ella havia desitjat amb nostàlgia des de feia temps.

En una entrevista de 1910, va explicar que de jove no havia considerat la composició com a una possible ocupació, ja que el fet de ser compositora no era popular a Anglaterra. Així mateix, cap dels seus instructors pensava que una dona seria tractada com a professional en aquest àmbit. No obstant això, Liza tenia compositores referents en qui emmirallar-se.Simplement vaig adorar el santuari de qualsevol dona que escrivís música. Maude Valerie White, Marie Wurm, Chaminade: em semblaven deesses! Destaca en particular la influència queva exercir en Liza Lehmann la compositora Maude Valerie White, fins al punt que li va dedicar dues cançons en l'Album of Twenty German Songs. El seu marit també va ajudar-la en la seva activitat compositiva, sovint oferint crítiques de les seves obres.

Com a compositora va tenir l'oportunitat de realitzar diverses gires pels Estats Units. Normalment ella mateixa estrenava les seves obres vocals.

Society of Women Musicians i últims anys de vida
Els anys 1911 i 1912 va ser nomenada primera presidenta de la Society of Women Musicians. El 1913 va ser professora de la Guildhall School of Music i va escriure Practical Hints for Students of Singing (Consells pràctics per a estudiants de cant), un llibre teòric per a cantants.

Durant l'última dècada de segle va tenir els seus dos fills i després de més de vint anys dedicats a la composició, va morir, amb cinquanta-sis anys, el 19 de setembre de 1918 a Pinner (Middlesex), pocs mesos després de la pèrdua del seu fill major al camp d'entrenament a la Primera Guerra Mundial. Actualment se'n conserven les seves memòries, escrites fins l'any 1918 i completades poc abans de morir.

Obra, estil i crítica
La carrera compositiva de Lehmann és normalement entesa i diferenciada en dues etapes, l'anterior i la posterior al seu casament l'any 1894.

Durant una primera etapa va compondre diverses cançons independents, amb especial rellevància de Mirage (1984) i dues col·leccions de Cançons Alemanyes. Quatre obres instrumentals van ser publicades l'any 1892: Àlbum of Ten Pianoforte Sketches, Romança per a violí amb acompanyament de piano, Romança per a pianoforte i Trois Valses de Sentiment per a piano.

L'any després del seu casament fou un any molt prolífic i una publicació de peces notòria, amb obres com Secret of the Heart, un diàleg musical per a soprano i contralt basat en un poema d'Austin Dobson i produït per la German Reed Company o Nine English Songs. L'últim àlbum conté una sèrie de cançons en anglès per a complementar els seus primers àlbums amb referències alemanyes i amb poemes d'Ann Boleyn, Moore, Shelley i Shakespeare.

L'any 1896 es publicà Persian Garden, el cicle de cançons que va propulsar-la com a compositora. En ell apareixen lletres selectes de la traducció del Rubaiyat d'Omar Khayyam a càrrec d'Edward Fitzgerald. L'obra, per a quatre pianos solistes, va estrenar-se aquell mateix any a la residència de Mrs. E. L Geotz, gràcies a Madame Albani, Miss Hilda Wilson, Mr. Ben Davies i Mr. Bispham. A causa del seu text exòtic i l'estil líric característic de Liza Lehmann, ràpidament va guanyar popularitat. Un crític fins i tot descrigué el cicle com «una de les obres més impressionants mai escrites per una compositora». L'èxit de Persian Gardens va ajudar Lehmann a seguir escrivint la majoria de cicles de cançons i comèdies que es van publicar en les següents dècades (The Daisy Chain, In Memoriam, Prairie Picutures, etc.).

Destaca la versatilitat de Liza Lehmann a l'hora d'escriure en diferents gèneres clàssics: Once upon a time, una cantata per a infants, Sergeant Blue una comèdia musical estrenada el 14 de juny de 1904 al Strand Theater i l'òpera lleugera publicada l'any 1907 The Vicar of Wakefield, entre d'altres.

Malgrat que la majoria de les seves obres van rebre una bona acollida per part del públic, Everyman, una òpera escrita l'any 1916 i produïda per la Beecham Opera Company, no va causar furor entre l'audiència anglesa, probablement per la seva proximitat i referències a l'Enfant Prodigue de Debussy.

Kantar: £532m lost from supermarket revenue pool in just three months
By Erin Smith
Kantar Worldpanel released it most recent UK retail figures today showing that "a massive £532m has been taken out of the supermarket revenue pool in just three months" according to Fraser McKevitt, the head of retail and consumer insights at Kantar.
The report shows that revenues only grew 0.2% in the last 12 weeks and prices are falling at a new record rate of 2.1%. "Once again deflation is the main reason behind the sluggish growth," said McKevitt.
"To put it another way: we looked at 75,000 products and the average supermarket shopping basket is now 40p cheaper than it was last year. It doesn't sound like much but 40p per trip is £20 per household over 12 weeks and a massive £532m has been taken out of the supermarket revenue pool in just three months," he said.
Staple foods, like eggs, butter, vegetables and bread are seeing prices fall the fastest, which are often categories dominated by retailers' own label items.
Aldi and Lidl have once again claimed a larger part of the retail market, reaching 5.4% and 3.8% market share, respectively.
However, despite the record-high market share figures and "double digit growth rates that are the envy of the industry, their growth is slowing. This being Aldi's slowest growth since May 2011," said McKevitt.
According to McKevitt part of the slowdown for the discounters is the falling prices of own label staples, "which are of course the discounters specialist subject."
But don't expect to see Aldi and Lidl's growth slow substantially as both are still attracting "substantial numbers of new shoppers" which is the "single best indicator of retail growth," said McKevitt.
Waitrose continues its slow, but steady growth up 1.2% for the month, making this the 81st consecutive month of positive results the retailer has posted dating back to 2009.
Tesco's sales slumped down 1.0% indicating its revival has potentially stalled. According to McKevitt the retailer has "definitely" cut prices, but the rise in volume is not enough to boost growth. Tesco large stores continue to suffer, however Tesco Express' continue "to increase both the number of shoppers and how often people are visiting."
Asda saw revenues fall 2.2% despite a drop in prices, while Morrisons was down 1.1%.
Sainsbury's declined 0.2% which according to McKevitt, "constitutes a relative success compared to their big four peers." Mostly McKevitt attributed diversification out of food items into clothing as helping to defer losses. He also said that the retailer which has over 30% of its business in London, one of the few regions where grocery sales are strongly rising, is another reason Sainsbury's is not declining as quickly as some of its peers.

Braden Looper Retires
Braden Looper has told the Chicago Cubs he is retiring.
The 36-year-old pitcher was in camp as a non-roster player, trying to make a comeback after sitting out last season. The Cubs informed him Friday that he would not make the team out of spring training, so Looper decided to retire.
Looper did not pitch last season after going 14-7 with a 5.22 ERA in 2009 for the Milwaukee Brewers. He made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998.
The right-hander, drafted No. 3 overall by St. Louis in 1996, spent the first nine seasons of his big league career as a reliever before working as a starter from 2007-09. He finished 72-65 with a 4.15 ERA and 103 saves.

NL West Predictions
National League West Predictions
1.San Francisco Giants
2. San Diego Padres
3. Colorado Rockies
4. Los Angeles Dodgers
5. Arizona Diamondbacks
The Giants have the pitching they need to win this division. With Lincecum, Cain, Zito, Sanchez and Baumgarter they will win 95 games. Padres where two games behind in 2010, so they will be right behind the Giants. With Ludwick-Hawpe and Cantu this will be a very offensive team. I see Rockies, Dodgers and Arizona flopping in and out of the 3rd,4th, and 5th place.
Chris Duncan and Jason Simontacchi back to St.Louis
For those of you that wondered what ever happen to Chris Duncan and Jason Simontacchi well Duncan was with the Nationals in 2010 and then released. Simontacchi left the Cardinals in 2004 but was out for the next two seaons till he was signed with the Nationals in 2007. After 07′ he faded out.
Well they are back in St.Louis with Andy Van Slyke. They are the new baseball analyst for ESPN101.1's new radio show "St.Louis Baseball Tonight". The show starts Monday 3/28 at 6pm weekdays. Brian Stull will also be a part of the radio show too. A rotation of hosts.
NL Central Predictions
National League Central:
1. Milwaukee Brewers
2. St.Louis Cardinals
3. Chicago Cubs
4. Cincinnati Reds
5. Pittsburgh Pirates
6. Houston Astros
I believe the top four teams will do battle in the NL Central. Brewers, Cards, Cubs and Reds have improved their teams but all four are having DL issues. Looks like a fun divison to watch. Cards will keep up with the others with timely pitching from Lohse and McClellan. I am concerned with our middle infield and a possible sophmore slump with Garcia.
NL East Predictions
National League East:
1. Atlanta Braves
2. Philadelphia Phillies
3. Florida Marlins
4. Washington Nationals
5. New York Mets
I Find this division to be somewhat fun to watch. With the changes the Braves made by adding manager Freddi Gonzalez and snatching up Dan Uggla just might give the Braves a shot to dethrone the Phillies. Their starting rotation is no where near the Phillies but I find this team to be thorn in the side of Charlie Manuel. I also think that the Nationals and the Marlins will also have a better year to challenge the Phils. Looks like the Mets will stay in the bottom of the pond.
American League Predictions 2011
AL East- 1. Boston Redsox 2. New York Yanks 3. Baltimore Orioles 4. Tampa Bay Rays 5. Toronto Bluejays
AL Central– 1. Minnesota Twins 2. Chicago Whitesox* 3. Detriot Tigers 4. Kansas City Royals 5. Cleveland Indians
AL West– 1. Texas Rangers 2. Oakland Athletics 3. Anaheim Angels 4. Seattle Mariners
I see the Orioles as one of those teams in a up swing but blocked in the standings. The Twins will represent the AL in the World Series.

In Memory of Marty Marion "Mr. Shortstop"
I am sad to report the passing of Marty Marion. My dad always refered to him as "Mr. Shortstop". Marion spent thirteen years in MLB as a Cardinal and a Brown.
Marion suffered a heart attack Tuesday night.
Marty was 94 and still lived in Ladue.
My dad spoke often of Marion as being one of his favorite Cardinals which also includes Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter. My dad loved the 1946 team, mainly because the Cards beat the Redsox for the World Series. He was also an All-Star and also led in put outs as a shortstop in 1946.
Marion was named manager of the Cardinals in 1951.
He took over for Rogers Hornsby as player-manager of the Browns early in 1952 and was dismissed after the 1953 season when the franchise moved to Baltimore. Mr. Marion was hired as a coach by the Chicago White Sox in 1954, then quickly promoted to manager, a position he held through the '56 season before stepping down.
My prayers and thoughts are with the Marion family.
Ian Snell Calls It Quits
Today Ian Snell announced his retirement right after the Cardinals reassigned him to minor league camp.
Snell is only 29. His career went into decline since leaving the Pirates for Seattle.
Snell has lost about 1.5 miles per hour off his fastball compared to his peak, but still throws in the low-90s and certainly could have struck around for a few more seasons at Triple-A waiting for another shot in the majors. I can't blame him for calling it quits.
Mitchell Page Passes Away Today
Mitchell Page died in his sleep last night. The former hitting coach was 59.
Page, playing for Oakland, was named American League Rookie of the Year by the Sporting News in 1977 after hitting .307 with 21 homers and 42 steals.
Page worked at the big-league level for the Cardinals from 2001-04 after being a minor league hitting instructor for the organization before that
New Reality Show "Up to Bat"
The Rome Braves announce a casting call for a new television reality series. Crazy Legs Productions and 10Ten Entertainment will be filming a promo that will serve as casting for a new series on Saturday March 26th from 10am – 6pm at State Mutual Stadium. Participants will be required to take part in baseball tryouts so bring your gear and come ready to play. Free Rome Braves hats to the first 100 contestants.

Straight from the Heart is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Patrice Rushen, released on April 14, 1982, by Elektra Records. It features her most recognizable song, "Forget Me Nots", the oft-sampled "Remind Me" and the popular instrumental workout "Number One". Straight from the Heart scored Rushen her first two nominations at the 1983 Grammy Awards for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Forget Me Nots" and Best R&B Instrumental Performance for "Number One".

The album is Rushen's most successful album to date, peaking inside the top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart at number 14. The success of "Forget Me Nots" is considered the major contributor to the album's popularity at the time of its release.

Critical reception
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave Straight from the Heart a "C+" and said that he prefers side one's "dancy vamp" over the songwriting on side two by Rushen, whom he called a fashionable "ingenue". In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Andy Kellman gave it four and a half out of five stars and called it "an early-'80s jazz-pop-R&B synthesis as durable and pleasing as any other".

In 2018, Pitchfork ranked Straight From the Heart #194 on its list of the 200 Greatest Albums of the 1980s.

The legislation that applies to Stamp Duty (SD) in Malta is the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act" (DDTA).
As you can see below, with the proper planning, this tax does not apply to many situations due to the various exemptions provided for by law. Among these exemptions, we highlight the one for companies with more than 90% of their business outside of Malta and the exemption for companies with more than half of their shareholder capital held by non-residents of Malta (among other conditions).
Application of the Duty on Documents and Transfers in Malta
Documents are subject to Duty on Documents and Transfers if issued in Malta or if issued outside Malta but used in Malta.
A document issued outside Malta shall be subject to tax if used in Malta and if it would have been subject to tax had it been issued in Malta. A document is considered to have been used in Malta when it is submitted to a Court or Arbitrator as proof or submitted to any person or authority in Malta for registration or execution purposes.
Sales and transfers are subject to Duty on Documents and Transfers in the following situations:
Real estate and other real rights (5% or 3.5% for the first €116,468.67 in the case of permanent housing);
Securities (5% for a property company -- company with 75% or more of its assets in real estate -- or 2% for other companies);
Life insurance policy (0.1% of insured capital under certain conditions);
Partnerships capital (2%);
Furniture sold at auction in which the amount paid per article exceeds €230 (2.6%).
In the case of Securities:
Transfer of a foreign security inter vivos to or by any person residing in Malta, including shares in foreign companies that own real estate in Malta (€2 per €100);
Transfer of a local security to or by any person residing in Malta, (€2 per €100);
The tax is calculated on the basis of the declared or real value of the security in accordance with the regulations on Capital Gains.
The transfer of foreign securities shall be exempt from tax if the transfer is performed via a local bank or duly licensed entity, with specific limitations for foreign companies that own real estate;
Transfer of local Securities shall be exempt from tax if the transfer is made via merger, de-merger or restructuring within the scope of a group of companies (holding company and its subsidiaries in which a holding company holds more than 50% of voting rights in the subsidiary or companies that are more than 50% directly or indirectly controlled by the same partners) and involves:
transfer, by a person, of shares that are part of a group of companies in exchange for shares in a company or companies that are part of the same group; or
the exchange of shares between one company and another when such shares are from companies that are part of the same group; or
transfer, at a cost, of shares in a company to another in which the companies are part of the same group.
Exchange of Securities between married persons, in the case of separation -- judicial or by mutual consent -- or in the event of death, involving the respective heirs;
Transfer of Securities listed on the Malta Stock Exchange;
Purchase, sale or issue of Securities by duly licensed entities;
Purchase, sale or issue of Securities by companies that:
Have more than half of their shareholder capital, voting rights and right to profits held by non-residents of Malta (or by a trustee whose beneficiaries are non-residents of Malta);
Are not held or controlled, directly or indirectly, by residents of Malta;
The CIR has decided that the majority of the companies' interests are outside of Malta;
They have more than half of their profits allocated to the Foreign Income account (FIA);
They do not hold property in Malta (excluding some property).
Purchase, sale or issue of Securities by collective investment entities;
Purchase, sale or issue of Securities by companies that have more than 90% of their business outside of Malta, as long as CIR approval is given;
Purchase, sale or issue of Securities by international trading companies, as defined by Malta legislation.
The aforementioned exemptions shall not apply to Property Companies.
In the case of Property Companies:
During the transfer of shares in a Property Company (a company with 75% or more of its assets in real estate), the law presumes that the sale is of its own real estate and as such is subject to a tax of €5 per €100;
In determining the value of the shares of a Property Company, only the following obligations can reduce the respective value:
Bank loan for the purchase/repair of the real estate property in question;
Duly registered debt with respect to the cost of acquiring the real estate property.
In the event of capital transfer in Partnerships:
The transfer of the capital of a partnership shall be subject to Duty on Documents and Transfers at a 2% rate when:
It is a Partnership residing in Malta and the transfer is by or to a Malta resident;
Due to mortis causa;
If it is a Property Partnership (whose assets are 75% or more in real estate property), shall also be subject to a tax of €3 per €100 of the price.
The transfer of the capital of a foreign partnership shall not be subject to Duty on Documents and Transfers when it meets certain requirements, essentially related to ownership of real estate in Malta.

Opening nationwide August 22nd, When The Game Stands Tall centers on Bob Ladouceur, a football coach (he's known as Coach Lad) who guided the De La Salle High School Spartans to a 151-game winning streak. Although De La Salle's recruiting has been top notch (past players include Oakland Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew and former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demetrius Williams), it is Ladouceur's hard nosed, unglamorous, and team first approach that were the ingredients to De La Salle's continued success.
An athletic life is not lost on Jim Caviezel , as he played high school basketball and his father was coached by UCLA legend John Wooden. In playing Coach Lad, Caviezel found a unique entryway to the role.
Click on the audio bar below to hear Caviezel talk about the lessons he learned from his father, and he also talks about the similarities between Coach Ladouceur and the late great John Wooden.
When The Game Stands Tall, directed by Thomas Carter (Coach Carter, Save The Last Dance) also stars Michael Chiklis as assistant coach Terry Eidson.

Neurons Tell Brain When To Stop Drinking
Indo-Asian News Service | Updated: July 09, 2016 16:22 IST
Alcohol consumption alters the physical structure and function of neurons
Neuron called D1, determines whether one drink leads to two.
The findings were published in the journal Biological Psychiatry
PhotoCredit:istock
It is possible to influence drinking behaviour by activating particular neurons in brain, suggests a new study.
The researchers earlier showed that alcohol consumption alters the physical structure and function of neurons in the dorsomedial striatum -- a part of the brain that is believed to contribute directly to decision-making, especially to action selection and initiation. Essentially, they found that activation of one type of neuron, called D1, determines whether one drink leads to two.
Now, they have discovered the neurons that tell us to stop.
These neurons can be thought of like a tree, with many branches, and many small protrusions, or spines, coming off of them. Each neuron has one of two types of dopamine receptors -- D1 or D2 -- and so can be thought of as either D1 or D2 neurons. When D2 neurons are activated, they discourage action -- telling you to wait, to stop, to do nothing. "At least from the addiction point of view, D2 neurons are good. When they are activated, they inhibit drinking behaviour, and therefore activating them is important for preventing problem drinking behaviour," said Jun Wang from Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in the US. Even in individuals without alcoholism, D2 neurons tend to become deactivated when we drink too much, the researchers said. But by manipulating the activity of these neurons, the researchers were actually able to change the alcohol-drinking behaviour of animals who had been "trained" to seek alcohol. By activating D2 neurons, they were able to decrease alcohol consumption, and the more the D2 neurons were activated, the greater the effect is likely to be.
The findings were published in the journal Biological Psychiatry.

Jewish People, Yiddish Nation
Jewish People, Yiddish Nation: Noah Prylucki and the Folkists in Poland
by Kalman Weiser
Noah Prylucki (1882-1941), a leading Jewish cultural and political figure in pre-Holocaust Eastern Europe, was a proponent of Yiddishism, a movement that promoted secular Yiddish culture as the basis for Jewish collective identity in the twentieth century. Prylucki's dramatic path - from russified Zionist raised in a Ukrainian shtetl, to Diaspora nationalist parliamentarian in metropolitan Warsaw, to professor of Yiddish in Soviet Lithuania - uniquely reflects the dilemmas and competing options facing the Jews of this era as life in Eastern Europe underwent radical transformation.
Using hitherto unexplored archival sources, memoirs, interviews, and materials from the vibrant interwar Jewish and Polish presses, Kalman Weiser investigates the rise and fall of Yiddishism and of Prylucki's political party, the Folkists, in the post-World War One era. Jewish People, Yiddish Nation reveals the life of a remarkable individual and the fortunes of a major cultural movement that has long been obscured.
Kalman Weiser is the Silber Family Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at York University, Toronto.
'Jewish People, Yiddish is an especially important reminder of just how much "Russian Jewish" history cannot be told without sustained attention to the large Jewish population that lived in Russian Poland, one of the empire's least digestible and most important regions, and to the numerous other Russian Jews outside Congress Poland.' Kenneth B. Moss, The Journal of Modern History, Vol. 84:2:2012
'This important and impressively researched political biography, contributes greatly to our understanding of the lives of east European nationalist leaders and the issues they championed.'
Sean Martin, H-Poland, January 2015
'Weiser's book is to be commended for its meticulous historical research.'

Anglers from all over the world have classed New Zealand as an Angling Paradise. It hosts some of the best wild Brown and Rainbow Trout fishing in the world.
The foundations of trout fishing in New Zealand were laid over 100 years ago with the introduction of fish from America and Tasmania. Today, trout fishing is an extremely popular sport in the country.
The North and South Islands of New Zealand offer excellent fishing. Most of the crystal clear streams, springs and creeks, stunning rivers, and pure blue lakes support large populations of Brown and Rainbow Trout. Each year many trophy fish in excess of ten pounds are taken.
Most fishing locations are relatively easy to access but if you really want trophy fish and the excitement for stalking these wily trout, you need to go 'backcountry'. A reasonable standard of fitness is required for these expeditions.
Dry fly, wet fly, and nymph fishing are the most common methods for fishing in all regions. Methods of fishing and styles can vary from district to district. Spinning, harling, down rigging, and streamer fishing are very successful in the Central North Island lake areas of Taupo and Rotorua.
We recommend layered clothing suitable for sudden weather changes. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat, especially during the summer months. For stream fishing, felt-soled boots and lightweight waders are recommended.
We recommend employing guides for obvious reasons and there are a number of full-time professional fishing guides available. New Zealand is a wild trout fishery and the emphasis is very much on quality rather than quantity. Experienced guides know the moods of local rivers and the weather trends. They provide advice and will help you adjust your techniques for success. They often have access arrangements to private property and will provide all transport requirements.
Most lakes are fished all year round and provide excellent sport. Trolling on the larger lakes, using lures and flies is the preferred method for catching trout. Boats range from 14ft to 52ft launches and can cater for larger groups; some charters offer an overnight experience. Skippers will supply all fishing gear and offer expert advice and knowledge of the area.
Weight 6-8 fly rods with floating and sink tips are recommended for most regions.
Most guides provide all fishing equipment and are aware of the local fishing regulations and limits.
Licenses are available throughout New Zealand and can be obtained from fishing guides, lodges, visitor centres, and charter boat operators. Fishing licenses may be used in any area of New Zealand except Lake Taupo. To fish Lake Taupo or one of the region's streams, you must buy a local license.
Charges for a guide vary depending on the service and include transport, equipment, and refreshments. Most guides offer half day or full day fishing trips. There are additional fees for helicopter or raft-fishing tours. Prices for boat fishing are dependent on the size and facilities of the launch and the duration of the trip.
Aroha New Zealand Tours chooses only the best fishing guides in this country.

Why is Congress Allowed to Lie to Us?
A Review of the One-Sided System of Honesty in the United States
With the release of the full Muller Report on Holy Thursday, the people of the United States had the opportunity to see that our President was not a traitor. Also, if he was guilty of anything it was not providing all the information requested about a crime that did not happen to a government panel that investigated the offense that did not occur. Moreover, they spent $25 million to see that it did not happen.
No one is above the law.
All of this, only to recommend that the only viable evidence found indicates there may have been collusion (which is not a crime) to obstruct the investigation of a crime that was not committed. Moreover, it occurred in the form of expressing exasperation about the investigation and its effect on the operations of the United States. This $25 million will rank, in the history of government waste, with the $640 hammers at the Pentagon and $600+ toilet seats the government has bought. It was an outright waste and violation of the constitution. We were investigating a person looking for a crime, not a crime looking for a person.
Revelations From the Mueller Report
One thing that the Muller Report did show us is that House and Senate Democrats have a more fragile relationship with the truth than they accuse president Trump of having. We have all seen the claims of Adam Schiff saying that there is "ample evidence of collusion in plain sight." However, he is failing to tell the American people that collusion does not appear in any law. Moreover, he is ignoring the fact that Muller, whose report Schiff said we must accept, said that there was no evidence that any American, not just the president, colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 elections.
This doublespeak hearkens back to the statement of then-candidate Hillary Clinton. She said that anyone who did not accept the results of the election was a danger to the country. Then she would not accept the fact that she lost an election that her party tried to rig for her! Whether you love President Trump or hate him, he is shining a bright light on the double standard that is present in Washington DC. A light that is telling us that we need change.
Mueller Report Exposed Double Standards
The main area of the swamp that the Muller probe exposed is the double standard that we have with the elected representatives in Congress. If an American citizen lies to Congress, then they can be charged with a multitude of crimes. Including obstruction, perjury, and lying to Congress, to speak in the vernacular.
However, members of Congress and government officials can repeatedly make appearances on talk shows, at press conferences and even from the chairs of committees and on the floor of Congress spouting a list of "alternative facts" which they know are lies. We saw this with numerous reports from committee chairs about the now debunked "collusion" scandal. These members of Congress, who knew they were lying, are still sitting in an office. Meanwhile, Americans, who on singular occasions forgot a fact while they were testifying to Congress, languish with criminal records and destroyed careers.
Congress Should Have Same Consequences as Citizens
For years, Americans have been requesting of our elected representatives that an amendment be passed to hold members of Congress to the same standards that the American people are held to. These petitions have included tax laws, health care laws, student loan forgiveness, and military service commitments. Now we must add another "request" to the list. We must request that members of Congress be held to the same level of truth that is expected of people testifying before them.
This is not to say that a member of Congress should go to jail if they misspeak. Or that one of the departmental spokespersons should lose their jobs if they get a fact wrong. What it's saying is that when a member of Congress or government official present to the American people facts that they know to be false, on multiple occasions or in multiple instances, that they should be investigated for lying to the people they represent.
The American people have a right to know. However, through increasingly complex "confidentiality" codes in Washington, more and more information is kept from the public. This trend must be reversed. We need to change our "requests" to "demands." Demand that members of Congress are held to the same standard as the American people.
Stand Up for the Truth
Truth has always been a victim of politics since the dawn of recorded history. As humanity advances, this stain on our evolution seems to remain. It is time for us to change that by calling our representatives and politely demanding that they are held to the same standard as we are.
If you are in a Congress chamber or representing the United States on TV, in the press or around the world and you persist in perpetuating a lie to confuse and confound people as to the issues, you should be subject to the same punishment as the rest of the people of these United States. No one is above the law, even those that are entrusted with making the law.
