Wreath Laying Ceremony at Columbus Monument Could be Last; Removal Seen as Good "Starting Point"
WAER | By Evan Beebe
Evan Beebe
An annual tradition in Syracuse might have been held for the last time Monday. The wreath laying ceremony in front of Columbus monument during the holiday is a staple for members of the local Italian-American community. Yet, Mayor Ben Walsh's recent announcement to remove the statue has left some of those members frustrated.
Manlius native George Cerio is one member of that community who is upset.
"This statue is symbolic of the heritage of Italian-Americans in this city and I don't it should be swept away. We are losing all our history."
The Columbus Monument Corporation is responsible for organizing the wreath laying ceremony every year. Former Onondaga County Executive Nick Pirro is a member of the corporation, and he was on the action group Mayor Walsh created to discuss the monuments future. Pirro said the committee was one sided, and quickly directed the mayor to remove the statue.
"The mayor has caved in to a small group of protestors. He went through a committee that was pretty well-stacked against keeping the monument, so I was very disappointed but not surprised."
Pirro added that he and the entire Columbus Monument Corporation plan to challenge the statue removal every step of the way.
"It's got to go through a process of going through the preservation board and some state board. We will do our best to appear at those and make our case, and also we will be exploring whatever legal avenues we might have."
Several local attorneys have already reached out to the Corporation and offered to assist with any lawsuits.
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON THE STATUE

The wreath makes its way through the crowd.
A Syracuse University Native American Expert says the removal of Columbus statue downtown is a good starting point toward a more inclusive site. Mayor Ben Walsh announced last week he plans to move the statue to private location and rename Columbus Circle. Director of Native American and Indigenous Studies Scott Stevens says it's the right first step, but will not fix everything.
"It is not aiming too high. The expectation should not be that this will solve a lot of conflicts in our society. It will certainly remove an ongoing point of concept that has been seen as one group's disregard for the history of another group."

As an indigenous person himself, Stevens wants people to understand the complications of our 'settler-colonial' society. He says the majority of the population is descendants of immigrants who live alongside minority groups of indigenous people who have been dispossessed of their land, and descendants of slaves. Stevens says a compromise is needed in order to acknowledge our complex society.
"Any site that might bring to mind mutual recognition of each other and each other's action would be a valuable start"
Stevens says getting to this point didn't come without Mayor Walsh's thoughtful, deliberate process that included the creation of a Columbus Circle Action Committee.
"Hearing all of these voices and letting opposing sides have the opportunity to hear each other as well. It is not just that we imagine what the other side is saying, but we have been given an opportunity, through this process, to hear each other out."
Some have wanted the Columbus statue removed for years. Stevens says the momentum from the recent social justice movements helped make it possible. More than 100 mostly Italian Americans marked the holiday Monday at possibly the last wreath-laying ceremony at the statue, about triple the usual turnout. Many now refer to the day as Indigenous People's Day.

The widespread criminalization of a wide range of activities through NYPD's broken windows or quality-of-life policing practices has steadily driven up rates of arrests for violations and misdemeanors in New York City since the 1980s. Because the immigration system is extremely unforgiving, for non-citizens even a violation or misdemeanor can lead to detention and deportation.
To help defend against these consequences and protect civil and human rights against discriminatory and aggressive policing practices, IDP supports efforts to minimize the number of people entering the criminal legal system—including supporting pre-arrest drug or mental health diversion programs and providing Know-Your-Rights trainings to communities.
IDP was part of the coalition that worked on the IDNYC, a municipal identity card program for New Yorkers. IDP's role in this coalition was to maximize protections for immigrant New Yorkers who are vulnerable to deportation in the program — including pushing for the NYPD to not arrest immigrants who have ICE administrative warrants and to maximize privacy protections for New Yorkers whose documents have been retained as part of the application for the IDNYC.
IDP has partnered with the NYU Law School Immigrants' Rights Clinic to advocate against the disproportionate, unjust impact non-criminal offenses – often addressed in Summons Court – can have in barring eligible young New Yorkers from relief under the federal government's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Low On Cash? Crash On A Couch
February 11, 2008 / 3:02 PM / CBS/AP
Forget hotels and youth hostels - travelers across the globe are using the Web to find a couch to crash on for free.
CouchSurfing, an international nonprofit organization, connects hosts with travelers through its Web site, www.couchsurfing.com.
People can search there for a prospective host in the country they'd like to visit. Hosts display pictures, interests and information about their accommodations on their Web profile.
However, the organization "is about much more than the couch," said Charish Badzinski, 35, a CouchSurfing host and traveler from La Crosse, Wis.
Badzinski first tried CouchSurfing during a month-long trip to Europe in 2006. She was writing about it for a magazine and thought she would try it.
She recalls walking up to the first home in London with a can of pepper spray in her pocket.
Then the host, a 60-year-old woman, gave her a welcoming hug, and her fears melted away, she said.
"It was that instant that I knew this was the best way to travel," she said.
Her host gave her sightseeing tips, she met other travelers at the house, and had an experience she couldn't have planned from a travel guide, Badzinski said.
"It is about so much more than having a free place to stay," she said.
When she returned, Badzinski thought she should return the favor and become a host. She has since had 11 groups or individuals at her home, including a traveler who pulled into La Crosse on his canoe and others trekking through on their bikes.
CouchSurfing also chose Badzinski from among 200 applicants for 11 positions to go to Thailand for two months to work on the group's public relations and marketing needs.
Badzinski is not the only one CouchSurfing in La Crosse. The site lists about 25 other members from La Crosse, more than 300 in Wisconsin and more than 415,000 worldwide.
"I think there is a lot of interest in developing relationships with people from other cultures," said Dan Hoffer, who lives in Silicon Valley in California and was among CouchSurfing's four founders. "CouchSurfing is a more intimate experience than being a guest in the hostel, because you are a guest in someone's home, and at a hostel you meet other travelers, not the residence of that area."
Kyle Westbrook, 23, of La Crosse, signed up for CouchSurfing because he thought it would be a good, cheap way to travel. He CouchSurfed on a trip to Boston.
"I'd never been there before, and I thought this would be a way to see the city and get a tour from people that lived there," he said "Someone that lives there knows where all the off-the-path places are, like small concert venues, beaches and parks that you don't hear about."
But how can you feel safe sleeping on a stranger's couch?
The Web site has many icons with its host profiles, indicating references, friend links and testimonials that can help surfers decide where to stay. Members can be vouched for by an established CouchSurfing.com members. In addition, the organization checks to make sure a new member's name and address are valid.
Hoffer said he believes the organization is safe, pointing to the 99.9 percent of CouchSurfers who report having positive experiences.
"Sometimes you have to suspend your fears. It opens you up to develop deeper relationships," said Badzinski. "Through CouchSurfing, I know I have friends in foreign countries, and I'll always have a place to stay."

Sony Exec Reveals "There Actually Is A Plan" to Connect Spider-Man Universe to the MCU

Spider-Man: No Way Home gets way better not only with the arrival of previous characters from for...
Spider-Man: No Way Home gets way better not only with the arrival of previous characters from former Spider-Man films, but also, Sony Motion Picture Group President Sanford Panitch said that "there actually is a plan" to connect the Spider-Man Universe, or the Sony Pictures Universe for Marvel Characters, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, opening more doors in the future.
In an interview with Variety, Sanford Panitch said "there actually is a plan, I think now maybe it's getting a little more clear for people where we're headed and I think when 'No Way Home' comes out, even more, will be revealed."
Panitch added, "The great thing is we have this very excellent relationship with Kevin. There's an incredible sandbox there to play with. We want those MCU movies to be absolutely huge, because that's great for us and our Marvel characters, and I think that's the same thing on their side. But we have a great relationship. There are lots of opportunities, I think, that is going to happen."
If and when this happens, it will allow Tom Holland's Spider-Man to be both in the films of Sony for Marvel, and in the MCU and can co-exist between the two. Considering that No Way Home is the last film in the deal between Marvel and Sony in sharing Spider-Man, the film being the spark to allow the character to be himself between the two universe makes it even more exciting.
Recently, Sony Pictures confirms to bring back Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Marvel in another way as he was cast to play Kraven the Hunter in their latest project, Kraven. Jared Leto is set to make his jump from DC to Marvel through Sony's Morbius. And of course, Venom, who already has two films under Sony.
If No Way Home is what it is expected to be, the bridge between MCU and Sony Pictures Universe for Marvel Characters, it is also possible that these characters could pass the same bridge making one whole universe together. Now that is an interesting one!

Tag Archives: Leeds City
by jfwknifton | January 17, 2017 · 12:39 pm
I have always wondered exactly what happened to Leeds City, a team that apparently just disappeared, after playing first class football for ten years or more. Of course, we have all heard of Leeds United, famous for its few triumphs and many near misses in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But what about Leeds City? How does a big football club just disappear?
Well, they were founded at the Griffin Hotel in 1904. Here is the Griffin Hotel nowadays. It doesn't seem to be doing much better than Leeds City:
Leeds City were slated to be the primary football team in the city, somebody who could bring the delights of a relatively new sport to a rugby mad area.This allowed them to adapt the council's coat of arms as their own and to wear the city's colours of gold and blue for their shirts:
Luckily for them, a local rugby club folded around this time, and Leeds City moved straight into their old stadium in Elland Road.
A decent ground enabled them to arrange friendly games against local league clubs, and after making powerful friends in this way they became members of the Second Division for the 1905-1906 season, when they finished sixth. Years ago, it was the club secretary who did what would nowadays be the job of team coach and club manager. City started with Gilbert Gillies (1904-1908) and then Frank Scott-Walford (1909-1912). The club's record was fairly average until they appointed Herbert Chapman, the legendary manager of Huddersfield and Arsenal, who took City to fourth place in the Second Division, their highest position so far. Here is the great man. His ghost was said for many years to haunt Arsenal's old ground at Highbury:
Until the First World War, Leeds City continued to wear blue and gold as their colours, except for the 1910-1911 season. Research by David Tomlinson has revealed that their kit changed at this point, when they signed five young, inexperienced, but hopefully talented, Irishmen for the team. The Leeds Mercury, in their match report, said
"It must be remembered that these Irishmen are very young men, who have been brought into a higher class of football than that to which they have been accustomed, and that they were playing their first match amid unfamiliar surroundings. Mr Scott-Walford evidently had an eye to making his new men feel at home as well as to stage effect when he attired the team in green jerseys and supplied green flags to mark the centre line, and he apparently realised that their first match might go wrong when he addressed them in his official programme: "Should your efforts deserve success, and it is denied you, we shall extend our sympathy, when you do badly we shall still think you have done your best."
It certainly looks very strange for a team from Leeds:
During the 1913-1914 season they adapted a kit which they would wear for the rest of their short history:
The Football Association has always been very adept at thinking up rules and regulations. It was strictly forbidden, for example, for a club to pay their players over the course of the Great War. No matter how dangerous it was fighting for King and Country, it was down to you to look after the wife and kids, rather than allow your rich erstwhile employer to help you out, even if that arrangement suited both sides. And woe betide, of course, anybody caught breaking the rules, even though many clubs did. It was a blind date with a bunch of Germans for you. Hopefully, you won't get the one whose hat doesn't fit:
Leeds City were grassed up to the FA by a former player who told journalists that the club's guest players for friendly games were being paid to turn out and play. The FA considered this to be an extremely serious offence, and began an investigation.
City, being both arrogant and stupid, did not help themselves by their poor choice of reaction to the FA's questions. Instead of rolling over with a loud cry of:
"I am guilty, guilty, guilty but O how I regret my wrongdoing"
they basically told the Football Association:
"Get stuffed. You can't look at the books".
The FA's reaction was to make a huge example of the wrong doers. Immediate expulsion from the League sine die as they say, and the disbandment of the entire club.
They had played only eight games of the 1919-1920 season and delighted Port Vale took over the rest of City's fixtures. I bet the man with the rip across his face was the first one to die. I saw it in a horror film once:
Herbert Chapman, the club secretary, and a good few others, were also banned sine die. All the club's assets were to be sold off. Not just the tables and chairs, but the players too.
At ten o'clock on October 17th 1919, therefore, an auction was held at the Metropole Hotel, where sixteen footballers were all sold to the highest bidder. They were bought by nine various clubs for a total of £9,250.
Billy McLeod £1,250 to Notts County
Harry Millership to Rotherham County (who??) and John Hampson to Aston Villa, both for £1,000.
Willis Walker to South Shields (who??) and John Edmondson to Sheffield Wednesday, both for £800
Other clubs who coughed up either £600 or less were Grimsby Town, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Lincoln City and Hartlepool United.
Poor old Francis Chipperfield, worth only £100 to Lincoln City. I wonder if he just packed up football and went to join the circus?
During the afternoon, after the auction, a number of other local officials, or at least, all the ones who were as pure as the driven snow, founded a new club, Leeds United, which could play in the now deserted Elland Road ground. United initially took over the fixtures of City's reserves in the Midland League, but for the next season of 1920-1921, the club was promoted into the Second Division:
As I have done before in other posts, I would like to thank the website who supplied all of the illustrations of the old football kits from days of yore.
It is the best ever website for the soccer nerd and all those little boys who had more than twenty different Subbuteo teams.

Snow joke
Yet again, the Date-Book of Remarkable Memorable Events Connected With Nottingham and Its Neighbourhood 1750-1879 comes up with the goods. Ands today you'll see just how appropriate is the name of the author, John Frost Sutton. Once again, I have tried to simplify some of the more archaic language.
A great fall of snow and intense cold. Drivers of vehicles found it impossible to complete their journeys, and the stagecoach to London was stopped halfway to the capital, and was unable to proceed."
Here is the type of stagecoach we are talking about. It's not really one for the Apaches to chase:
"A contemporary record states that the road beyond Northampton "was crowded with the passengers from the north, all of whom had been detained there all the week, owing to the great depth of snow. Many of them had neglected to make any provision for what had happened, and were in the greatest distress. On the other hand, some, who were well supplied with the one thing they really cherished, lived happily at the nearest public or farm houses. They were literally in high spirits. Almost every house on the road exhibited either a happy picture of noise and merriment, or else showed the visible signs of vexation, disappointment, and humiliation."
"On January 13th, two men were returning in the evening from Nottingham to Papplewick, when they were overcome by the cold, half-way between Redhill and their place of destination. In the morning, one of them was found stretched out on the snow and dead. The other was found in a state of insensibility, with his stiffened arms clasping the trunk of a tree, and icicles at the end of his fingers. With much difficulty his life was preserved."
The orange arrow points to Redhill, and Papplewick is in the top left corner:
"The same day another sufferer was rescued from death by Mr Turner, a Nottingham attorney. A young woman in the service of Mr Lee, of the Peacock Tavern, near St. Peter's Church in the middle of Nottingham, had been to Leeds on a visit to her friends, and was returning to Nottingham."
Here is St Peter's Church in Nottingham, down near the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. The building to the right will one day be Marks & Spencer but it doesn't really know it yet:
The young woman left Leeds as a passenger on the outside of the coach as it was so much cheaper (although a lot colder, of course).
"About midway between Leeds and Nottingham, some thirty miles from the latter town, the tremendous fall of snow rendered it impossible for the coach to proceed any further, and the young woman, not having enough money to stay where she was, set out resolutely on foot. She managed to reach The Hutt, on the road from Mansfield to Nottingham, when her strength totally failed, and she lay down to die."
Here is the Hutt nowadays. It figured in a previous article when a White Stork flew over it:
On this map, the orange arrow indicates the Hutt. The immediate area is no longer as isolated or countrified as it would have been in 1766. Redhill and Arnold are both in the bottom right corner:
"In the hour of her extremity Mr Turner the solicitor happened to be passing that way on horseback, and prompted by humanity, lifted her up, took off his greatcoat and wrapped her in it. He put his gloves onto her hands, and with great difficulty succeeded in carrying her to Redhill, where she was properly taken care of at his expense until sufficiently recovered to be brought to Nottingham."
I included this bit of the account because there are not many stories where a lawyer is the hero, especially a generous one. This is the "Ram Inn", an old coaching inn at Redhill. It faces west so it is not easy to photograph and get much light on the subject:
Right next to it is the Waggon and Horses, another coaching inn of the period:
Two pubs next to each other is fabulously convenient. When the barman in one pub refuses to serve you because you are too drunk, you can just leave quietly and try your luck next door.

A flame test is an analytical procedure used by chemists to detect the presence of particular metal ions, based on the colour of the flame produce. When heated, the electrons in the metal ion gain energy and can jump into higher levels. Because this is energetically unstable, the electrons tend to fall back down to where they were before, releasing energy as they do so. This energy is released as a light energy, and as these transactions vary from one metal ion to another, it leads to characteristic colours given by each metal ion.
In this infographic following metal ion flame test colours described: Lithium (Li+), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Rubidium (Rb+), Caesium (Cs+), Calcium (Ca2+), Strontium (Sr2+), Barium (Ba2+), Radium (Ra2+), Copper (Cu2+), Iron (Fe2+/Fe3+), Boron (B3+), Indium (In3+), Lead (Pb2+), Arsenic (As3+), Antimony (Sb3+/Sb5+), Selenium (Se2+/Se4+) and Zinc (Zn2+).

The following new features were added at version 2.3
The ArcGIS API for Javascript 2.3 provides support for IE9 and significant performance improvements for applications that run within this browser.
Internet Explorer 9.0 provides many new features including improved support for CSS3 and HTML5 and dramatic improvements in graphics performance. In earlier versions of Internet Explorer, drawing 1000+ graphics performed poorly compared to browsers like Firefox and Chrome. At IE9, graphics drawing performance is much improved over earlier versions of IE and is comparable to other browsers.
We created a simple test case that draws 1000 graphics on the map to test the performance improvements in Internet Explorer. This table shows the results of one test run, in milliseconds.
Internet Explorer 9 now supports CSS3 behaviors like rounded corners, media queries, transforms and more. View this sample in Internet Explorer 9 to view these behaviors.
Internet Explorer 9 enhances HTML5 support, now you can take advantage of capabilities like the Canvas Element and Geolocation.
The HTML5 Canvas Element is a space on the page you can use to render images on the fly. Click here to view a sample that demonstrates using the Canvas Element to draw a raster image.
The Geolocation API which can be used to find the user's current location is now supported across all major browsers. You can test this using the Geolocation sample.
Version 2.3 includes snapping support so you can build applications that include snapping to edge and vertices. When defining snapping the developer can specify various options including the key used to enable snapping and a custom snapping symbol. This release includes several samples that show how to enable snapping.
Snapping with the measurement widget
Snapping with the editor
Measurement widget
The Measurement widget provides tools for determining the x,y location and measuring the area and length.
Info windows are used to display information about a particular location on the map. The standard info window allows you to set the title and content of the window. At version 2.3, the Popup class, an implementation of InfoWindow was added to provide the following additional capabilities:
Navigation tools that allow you to move through selected features.
Zoom to selected feature.
Highlight selected feature.
Maximize the info window.
Several new samples that show the popup in action have been added to the help. The first sample styles the popup to apply a new color scheme. The second sample extends the popup to add a link that runs a geoprocessing tool using the selected feature as input.
The PopupTemplate class extends esri.InfoTemplate and allows developers to define templates that include title, description, attachments, images and charts. These components are then organized in a layout that is identical to the popup experience that you get in arcgis.com. Click here to view a sample that uses the PopupTemplate to format the contents of the popup window.
Developing applications that target the Android browser can be challenging. The Android browser has a few limitations such as lack of support for SVG and multi-touch. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript is working around these issues when possible and the 2.3 release includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
Improvements to click to make it easier to click features (NIM068067)
Added support for text and fill symbols. (NIM068063)
Removed the highlighted border that appears around the move on tap.
Resolved graphics positioning problems during map navigation.
Dojo 1.6.1
Enhancements to Dojo 1.6 include Dojox.Mobile enhancements and a growing set of tutorials on various aspects of working with Dojo and Dojox.Mobile. Version 2.3 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript includes Dojo 1.6.1 which contains several bug fixes for IE9.

Mercedes Benz repair specialists, MB Motors, have been in the business for 30 years. They know 'mercs….and 'merc owners know them so, until now, they've had little need to promote their business, existing mainly on word of mouth from happy customers. But it was time to recharge their promotional efforts with a bit of extra 'va va voom'.
We created a website that would link with a new social media campaign, effortlessly complementing MB's Facebook ads and providing a place for Mercedes Benz owners to send enquires through an online form, or even call direct from the linked number on the mobile responsive site. The website didn't need to be complicated – it's just a one-pager – but the smart menu makes you feel like you're driving a much larger model.
MB Motors is a very happy customer and, for local Mercedes owners, it's much easier to find the experts to look after their pride and joy.

This summer's fire
PARK WATCH March 2020 |
Our native plants and animals have had a long and troubled parent-child relationship with fire. It might be becoming an irreconcilable one, writes VNPA Parks Protection Campaigner Phil Ingamells.
Since July last year, fires have burned through nearly 16 million hectares of Queensland, NSW, Victoria, WA, SA, Tasmania and the ACT. About 1.5 million hectares of that was in Victoria.
This has been, unquestionably, an unprecedented event since records have been kept. Some 3,500 homes have been destroyed and 33 people lost their lives. It was something of a miracle more lives weren't lost.
The Australian flora we love, the eucalypts, bottlebrushes and more, have largely evolved in response to fire. Yet fire seems unsatisfied with that achievement; it will not abandon its harsh but nurturing role. It even seems to have taken vengeance on its creation, periodically burning the bush to a crisp and having a good go at us in the process.
Fire, this most primal of elements, this searing expression of the sun's energy on Earth, is getting increasingly hard to live with.
It started late last year with the burning of the previously 'unburnable' subtropical rainforests of Terania Creek and Lamington National Park in NSW. Then, later that summer, as a final gesture, flames incinerated a great many pockets of East Gippsland's warm-temperate rainforests and had a good bite at the Errinundra Plateau's cool-temperate rainforests.
This summer's fire through East Gippsland

The assault on our rainforests was just one of many impacts on nature, but perhaps the cruellest stroke.
Botanists know that 'rainforest' is a misnomer, and would rather call them 'fire-free forests'. These ferny patches of green that we mainly find in sheltered valleys in Victoria are truly ancient forests. They are surviving patches of the great misty forests of Gondwana, the one-time single landmass of the Earth's southern hemisphere.
Their canopy trees, like Lilly Pilly, Southern Sassafras, Muttonwood and Olive-berry, obligingly hold their leaves horizontally, sheltering a moist understory of even more ancient plants: an abundance of spore-shedding mosses and ferns, and their more primitive ancestors in turn. They are, indeed, living museums of ancient flora.
Now just tiny remnants of their former extent, these rainforests have been sheltering perilously from fire for some 45 million years. The flames that randomly trickled or roared through the newly evolved 'Australian' forests, dominated by more recently evolved plants like eucalypts and wattles, generally skipped over deep valleys leaving the Gondwanan forests unscathed.
Or, if fire did occasionally burn into these ferny dells, they would need a very long fire-free period to recover, not having evolved good fire-recovery strategies.
Victoria's most extensive patch of warm-temperate rainforest, East Gippsland's Jones Creek, burnt extensively in 1983, and a 2013 study of its recovery said that if another fire returned in less than 40–50 years, it would cause progressive decline, returning it to a eucalypt dominated forest. This summer's fire has brought that scenario close.
It's not just rainforests that have been hit by frequent fire; repeated blazes can seriously test the capacity of many of the fire-adapted species to hang on.
Snow Gums, the much-loved, beautifully twisted and gnarled eucalypt species of Victoria's high country, can live for centuries. A Snow Gum can quickly resprout from a large underground lignotuber when an occasional alpine fire has killed the above-ground parts of the tree. Yet three fires in close succession can weaken and kill them. This scenario has happened now around The Horn in Mount Buffalo National Park, and in the southern parts of the Bogong High Plains in the Alpine National Park.
Victoria's Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning's biodiversity response crew has estimated that some 170 already rare or threatened species have been impacted by the roughly 1,500,000 hectares of this summer's fires in eastern Victoria. They include animals like the Barred Galaxias, Long-footed Potoroo and Diamond Python, and plants like Buff Hazlewood and Betka Bottlebrush.
We are in a new paradigm. Climate change, and the more frequent fire it brings, is changing our landscape, and not over evolution's necessary aeons; it's happening now, before our eyes.

Rahm Emanuel, a former Chicago mayor and White House chief of staff, is joining ABC News as a contributor, the network announced Sunday.
Previously, Emanuel worked as the 55th mayor of Chicago, serving from 2011 to 2019. He also served as the White House Chief of Staff from 2009 to 2010 under President Obama and as a member of the United States House of Representatives for Chicago prior to his White House position.
Since his mayoral departure, Emanuel has also become a contributing editor for The Atlantic magazine where he penned his first piece "It's Time to Hold American Elites Accountable for Their Abuses." In the article, Emanuel calls on Democrats to focus more on the middle class in light of the Varsity Blues investigation.
Additionally, Emanuel made headlines earlier this year for criticizing the decision by Cook County prosecutors to drop charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett. According to the investigation, police found that Smollett had paid brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo to stage a hate attack against himself on Jan. 29. Smollett also claimed that two men had poured bleach on him, while using racial and homophobic slurs.
"This is a whitewash of justice," Emanuel said. "This is a person who has been let off scot-free with no sense of the accountability of the moral and ethical wrong of his actions."

Retro review — Our favorite version of a Christmas classic
Filed under: Fantasy Realms, Movies, Retro Fix — 1 Comment
By Elizabeth C. Bunce
Audiences have loved Charles Dickens's yuletide ghost story, A Christmas Carol, for 171 years, and it's been committed to film at least 50 times. It's hard to dispute the status of 1951's Scrooge starring Alastair Sim, or surpass Patrick Stewart's masterly performance as the cruel miser in the 1999 television adaptation. But for annual, feel-good holiday fun, our money is on The Muppet Christmas Carol.
Released in 1992 and representing the first of several retellings produced by the zany puppets & crew, The Muppet Christmas Carol also boasts a strong human cast. Most notable, of course, is Michael Caine (Batman Begins, Get Carter) as Ebenezer Scrooge, in a turn that is just the right balance of humbug and humor.
The Muppet version brings all the elements you expect from A Christmas Carol, from dead-as-a-doornail business partner Marley, to Tiny Tim asking God to bless us, everyone… but with wonderful Muppet twists. All your favorite Muppets are here, as well, in their expected roles: Kermit the Frog as put-upon clerk Bob Cratchitt (with nephew Robin in the roll of Tim); Miss Piggy as Mrs. Cratchitt, naturally; and even 1990's standard duo Gonzo and Rizzo, taking a meta-fiction approach as tour-guide-to-the-tale Charles Dickens and a skeptical sidekick.

An Accountability Partner Makes You Vastly More Likely to Succeed
Simply explaining what you're doing to someone you respect is a powerful way to staying on track and avoiding impulsive decisions.

Entrepreneurs, when left unbridled by proper governance, often run their businesses right off the rails. Many have done it. They often squander their venture capital funding before building a working prototype, hire too many employees without considering the impact on overhead and take a company in a different direction without first considering the market demand for what they are now pitching.
Despite the challenges, it is possible to increase one's chances for success to a 95 percent rate. The American Society of Training and Development found that people are 65 percent likely to meet a goal after committing to another person. Their chances of success increase to 95 percent when they build in ongoing meetings with their partners to check in on their progress.

For any entrepreneur who wants to succeed, accountability is crucial. The key to success is to find the type of accountability that speaks to a particular style of communication and personality.
Peer networks.
Peer-to-peer networks focused on entrepreneurs offer two-way communication that enable founders to learn from each other and share their own experiences. These groups bring together entrepreneurs with like-minded perspectives and goals. They often offer tools and resources to help further each other's ventures.
One large-scale example is EO, a global network for entrepreneurs that fosters peer-to-peer learning and provides connections for its members. EO hosts chapter-led forums and experiential events to further its mission of engaging leading entrepreneurs to learn and grow. It also recognizes that entrepreneurs are busy and therefore offers webinars, virtual courses and podcasts to make it easier for founders on the go to have digital access to the right training materials wherever they are.

Mentors.
Some entrepreneurs prefer to be held accountable on a more personal level, establishing a one-on-one relationship with a person who is experienced in a particular field and has achieved a high level of success. Ninty-three percent of small and mid-sized business owners said mentoring was helpful to their success.
Finding the right mentor can be the most difficult part of developing an accountability partnership. A mentor could be an investor, someone with a strong track record who runs a company similar in scope or a boss from an old job or institution that one admires. These are all people who are well-positioned for a mentor role, and many are flattered to be asked or to be introduced.
Related: When You're a Leader, Everything You Do Has an Impact
Some entrepreneurs work best in a competitive setting. Apps create the kind of "leaderboard" experience they're looking for. An app makes tracking numbers and the ruthless data these entrepreneurs crave easy.
Different accountability apps provide different experiences. Some, like StickK, motivate you by pledging money to a cause you despise if you fail to reach your goal. Coach.me matches you with a leadership coach in an area where you need development. Things has been designed to not only show you what's on your plate, but to also show you a visual diagram of how close you are to the completion of a goal.
Entrepreneurs can easily lose sight of their goals and take their businesses in a completely different direction than they intended. The right kind of accountability can provide the insight they need to make themselves and their businesses better. Who's holding you accountable?

How Long Does it Take for Xanax to Leave Your System?
The amount of time that Xanax stays in your body will depend on a variety of factors, including the dosage, and the person's age and metabolism. Let's take a look at what other factors consider when evaluating how long it takes for Xanax to leave your system.
What is Xanax?
Xanax (also known as alprazolam), is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It is part of the Benzodiazepine family and works by increasing the effects of the neurotransmitter, GABA, which reduces anxiety and produces a sense of calm.
Xanax is a central nervous system depressant that decreases nerve activity in the brain, and the dosage strengths range from 0.25 mg to 2 mg.
How Xanax Affects the Body
Although Xanax can be helpful for reducing stress and anxiety, it is often accompanied by unpleasant side effects, including:
Increased heart rate or blood pressure
How Long Do the Effects of Xanax Last?
Xanax usually starts to kick in after 30 minutes, and its effects peak 1-2 hours after being taken.
The effects of Xanax last for several hours, depending on the dosage and the individual's metabolism.
How Long Does Xanax Stay in Your System?
How long Xanax stays in your system will depend on a variety of factors, but the average half-life of Xanax is approximately 11.2 hours in healthy adults. This means that the body removes half of the drug in that time span.
Xanax can be detected in urine, blood, and saliva up to a certain amount of time.
A single dose of Xanax can be detected in urine for up to 4 days. For heavy users, Xanax could be detected in urine for a week or more. The number of days Xanax can be detected in a urine test varies depending on the individual, frequency of use, and dosage.
Xanax can stay in your bloodstream for several days, but can only be detected for around 24 hours after the last dosage.
Xanax can be detectable in saliva for up to two and a half days after the last dosage.
How is Xanax Metabolized?
Xanax enters the bloodstream and travels to various parts of the body after administration. It is metabolized in the liver, specifically by the liver enzyme CYP3A4.
The two breakdown products of Xanax produced by CYP3A4 are 4-hydroxyalprazolam and a-hydroxyalprazolam, both of which are less effective than the original medication. The three substances are then eliminated by the body through urine.
What Affects How Long Xanax Stays in Your System?
There are several factors that will affect how long Xanax stays in your system, including the following.
Metabolism: Xanax is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys, so individual differences in metabolism can affect how quickly the drug is eliminated from the body.
Dosage: The more Xanax you take, the longer it will stay in your system.
Age: Seniors take longer to metabolize Xanax. The average half-life of Xanax in seniors is around 16 hours.
Liver function: Since the liver is responsible for metabolizing Xanax, having a dysfunctional liver can mean a slower metabolization rate.
Mixing Xanax: Mixing Xanax with other medications or other substances, such as alcohol, can affect the amount of time it takes to fully metabolize.
Tips for Getting Xanax Out of Your System Naturally
There's no way to force Xanax out of your system, but there are a few precautions to take if you are concerned about how long Xanax stays in your system.
Stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol & caffeine, which will dehydrate you.
Exercise, which increases metabolism and blood flow.
Eat healthy foods that boost detoxification processes.
Take supplements that support gut health and digestive function, such as probiotics or enzymes.
It's important to note that if you are dependent on Xanax, or have been taking it for an extended period of time, it is not safe to abruptly stop taking Xanax. Be sure to speak to a medical professional before quitting Xanax.
How Addictive is Xanax?
Xanax is extremely addictive when used long-term. Tolerance to Xanax can build up quickly, which can lead to a person taking more than the prescribed dose in order to feel the desired effects. This can lead to physical dependence on the drug, making it difficult to stop taking it.
Xanax dependence can occur in as little as three weeks of taking the medication. Most people who take Xanax will experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop, even if they haven't been taking it for very long.
For some people, it may be a slow process that develops over time as they continue to take the medication for an extended period of time. For others, addiction may occur more quickly, particularly if the drug is misused or taken in large doses.
Signs of Xanax Abuse
Xanax abuse is common among Xanax users, and it's important to be aware of the potential signs.
Some signs of Xanax abuse include:
Changes in appetite or weight
Aggressive or violent behavior
Tolerance and withdrawal symptoms
How Does Xanax Interact With Alcohol?
Alcohol and Xanax are both central nervous system depressants that produce sedative effects. When combined, alcohol and Xanax may cause greater drowsiness and reduced cognitive function.
This combination can cause dangerously low respiratory rates. Xanax and alcohol should never be mixed. You should wait until almost all of the Xanax has left your body before drinking alcohol. With an average half-life of 11.2 hours, it could take a few days for Xanax to be completely cleared from your body.
Mixing Xanax and alcohol can also increase the risk of addiction to both substances.
Detox From Xanax Safely
If you are dependent on Xanax, it can be painful and dangerous to withdraw from. Seizures, extreme confusion and disorientation, and even death may occur when Xanax is abruptly stopped. This is why you should never try to stop taking Xanax abruptly or without a doctor's supervision.
It's important to go through the detox process in a medically supervised facility to ensure your safety in order to make sure that there is no risk associated with discontinuing Xanax.

When DNS changes are made they occur instantly on our nameservers. However, it may be some time before your computer (or your customer's computers) see the changes. This is because every DNS record has something called a TTL (Time To Live) value. The TTL tells other DNS servers how long to cache a DNS record for before refreshing their local data - it's important because it controls the amount of DNS traffic on the internet.
Normally DNS records are set with a TTL value of 14400 (it's in seconds - so this is 4hrs), but some DNS records have a 24Hr TTL value (86400) so it can take up to a day to see the changes take effect.
The TTL delay is compounded by the fact that your operating system (Windows and Macs) both cache DNS data to reduce the number of requests they make to your ISP. On top of that, web browsers also create a local cache.
The knock on effect is that new DNS data can be delayed even longer.

They headed out for a lunch date, but it didn't look like one!
Tennis star Rafael Nadal and his childhood sweetheart Maria Xisca Perello headed out to enjoy some food at a Melbourne restaurant on Thursday.
Surprisingly, though, the couple didn't seem to be enjoying each other's company, if the photos published by Daily Mail are to be believed.
While some pictures show Nadal doing most of the talking, his lady love can be seen pointing at him and keeping her hands on her head in the others.
Furthermore, they appeared to maintaining some distance between them as they walked out.
The duo has been dating each other since 2005. Although they are often spotted on getaways, they prefer not to talk about their relationship in public.
Meanwhile, Nadal is scheduled to cross the swords with Tomas Berdych in the fourth round of Australian Open.

Wellbeing is more than absence of a physical disease. The best doctors know that in order to address their patients' wellbeing, they need to be concerned with the whole person – mental, physical, social and spiritual. At Medical Oncology Associates, Drs. Greenwald and Saidman not only adopt this approach personally; they are part of a family whose story of caring has been tightly woven into the fabric of their community for generations.
Drs. Greenwald and Saidman practice medical oncology together at Medical Oncology Associates (MOA) in Kingston. Long before the concept of "comprehensive cancer care" was mainstream, MOA dedicated itself to caring as much about the emotional and spiritual effects of cancer as it did about the medical aspects. MOA patients receive treatment in a sun-lit, homey environment that even supplies snacks and refreshments.
Beneath the comforting concern for physical needs, however, lies MOA's bedrock support for emotional wellbeing. The practice is unique in that it offers counseling services to all patients without charge. Moreover, because of the doctors' commitment to treating the whole person, their building on Pierce Street in Kingston has become a community gathering place where people coping with life's most profound challenges can meet and bond. Through a variety of initiatives designed to support cancer patients and theirloved ones, MOA has created an atmosphere permeated with a family — rather than a clinical — feel.
Drs. Greenwald and Saidman also founded a "prescription assistance fund" that has become a source of financial support topatients with needs far beyond help with copays. Grateful patients and community members regularly donate to the fund and in October, MOA organizes a raffle on the fund's behalf that Carol Saidman Greenwald says attracts hundreds of gifts from throughout Luzerne County.
Both doctors agree they owe their vision for holistic care of patients to Dr. Lester Saidman's example. One of Dr. Lester Saidman's passions was emergency care and for years he split his time among seeing patients in Noxen, at his home and in the emergency room. He is credited with bringing the concept of 24-hour around-the-clock emergency care coverage to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Dr. Bruce Saidman is Dr. Lester Saidman's son, and Dr. David Greenwald is his son-in-law. The medical partners, however, say they feel like brothers. Their devotion to the wellbeing of northeastern Pennsylvania will continue with another generation as Dr. Jakob Saidman received his MD from GCSOM in 2018.
Dr. Steven Kafrissen, Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (DLFAPA), is a psychiatrist who has been a longtime advocate of people coping with mental illness. He came to the area through his work for the National Institutes of Mental Health, overseeing mental-health relief efforts following the devastation to the Wyoming Valley caused by Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Dr. Kafrissen is the founding medical director of Behavioral Health Services of Wyoming Valley (First Hospital, Choices, and Community Counseling Services), and was a driving force behind many of its innovations aimed at integrated care for people with mental illnesses and developing community mental health services. He is also a founder of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Society and has served as psychiatry coordinator for GCSOM's South Campus since the school's founding. Most recently, Dr. Kafrissen was part of the team that developed the new psychiatry residency program at The Wright Center, a project that grew out of GCSOM's Behavioral Health Initiative.
Dr. Kafrissen originally came to know Dr. Lester Saidman through his service on the board of Rural Health Corporation when Dr. Saidman was the medical director. Their paths later crossed more closely through Dr. Saidman's daughter, Sheila. Dr. Kafrissen is inspired by Dr. Saidman's legacy of caring for the people in the Wyoming Valley.
When innovation is coupled with caring, entire communities win. Such is the case with the inventive mind and compassionate drive of Dr. Robert Wright.
Dr. Wright graduated from the Temple School of Medicine and completed his residency at Temple, training in internal medicine. Ever drawn to new frontiers, Dr. Wright fulfilled a fellowship in hematology and oncology at the University of Washington, Seattle when the field was in its infancy. His colleagues expected him to stay in Seattle, but this native of Archbald believed his skills were needed at home, so he returned to Scranton to serve his own community. For more than four decades, he has treated patients and trained future physicians.
Dr. Wright elevated the standard of care in the region by bringing medical expertise closer to home. He founded the Scranton Temple Residency Program in internal medicine— now The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education. Dr. Wright served as president and designated institutional official of the program for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) until his retirement.
By the time Dr. Wright and the school's other founders began to meet in 2004, the American Association of Medical Colleges, the American Medical Association and many medical educators were calling for expansion of present medical school enrollment and creation of new medical schools to prevent a significant national physician shortage. At the time, Dr. Wright wrote, "The country as a whole will be nearly 200,000 physicians short and the problem will be even greater in NEPA." In addition, the Pennsylvania Medical Society issued a report that confirmed the idea that Pennsylvania was moving toward a critical shortage, particularly in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.
The founders' plan for a Scranton medical school was met with a great deal of skepticism; however, they persevered with feasibility study funded by the Board of The Scranton Temple Residency Program that supported the ideas and found that their goals, though lofty, were achievable. This initial encouragement was augmented by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which paved the way for further fundraising. In 2013, TCMC graduated its first class of medical students and has recently begun to welcome its alumni back to the area. Dr. Wright served as interim president and dean of TCMC and continues to guide its development as a member of its community advisory board.
In addition to the important impact on the region's health that Dr. Wright's innovations have had, an often overlooked but nevertheless significant contribution has been the increase in economic vitality of our region. The initial feasibility study that was so crucial to garnering early support for the school originally forecast GCSOM's economic impact at $64 million. Ten years later in 2014 a study pegged the actual figure at $65 million.
Dr. Wright and his wife, Carole Cook Wright, belong to the School of Medicine's Founders Society and continue generously to support the school through annual and endowed scholarships established in memory of their beloved daughter, Sarah.

Epping is a London Underground station in the market town of Epping in Essex, England. The station serves as the north-eastern terminus of the Central line. Located in Travelcard Zone 6, it is one of eight London Underground stations in the Epping Forest District.[4] The station before Epping is Theydon Bois, which is about three minutes' travelling time away.
2 The station today
In 1856, the Eastern Counties Railway opened a double-track railway between Stratford and Loughton. In 1865, its successor, the Great Eastern Railway, added a single-track extension from Loughton to Ongar. The popularity of the line led to the doubling of the track between Loughton and Epping in 1892.[5] The line was well served, with 50 trains operating between Liverpool Street and Loughton each day, a further 22 continuing to Epping and 14 more to Ongar.
Loughton to Epping became part of the London Underground Central line on 25 September 1949, leaving the single track line from Epping to Ongar as the last steam-worked section. British Railways continued running Ongar services until 1957 when the line was electrified and became part of the Central line.[6] However, services did not run through to the rest of the Central line except for occasional depot workings, so passengers to/from stations beyond Epping normally had to change platforms for the single-track line to Ongar, North Weald or Blake Hall stations.[7] On 2 November 1981, Blake Hall closed and trains passed through the station. On 30 September 1994 London Underground withdrew the service between Epping and Ongar and subsequently sold off that section of the Central line.
On 11 May 2008 an e-petition calling for the reopening of North Weald and Ongar stations was created on the Downing Street website.[8][9] It closed on 11 December 2008 with 1012 signatures. Part of the Epping-Ongar line is now a heritage railway, the Epping Ongar Railway.
Epping Station was to be the terminus of the proposed London Underground Chelsea-Hackney line (Crossrail 2).[10] However, since 2013, the route options for this proposed line have been amended to terminate at New Southgate instead and no longer include the Epping branch.[11]
The station today
Epping station saw a growth in passenger numbers in the mid 1990s due to the closures of nearby North Weald, Blake Hall and Ongar stations. This growth has continued due to significant development in Epping itself and surrounding villages. Another major contributing factor is that many people living in not too distant towns such as Harlow, Bishop's Stortford, and Chelmsford use the station instead of their own National Rail stations, because it is considerably cheaper to travel to London by London Underground than it is to use National Rail services. Growth is now at such a point where the station's car park is full by 6:30 am and parking around the station (as with other stations on this part of the line, e.g. Theydon Bois and Debden) has become a serious problem for local residents, which in turn has caused many residents and local groups to call for the re-opening of North Weald and Ongar stations to help ease demand on Epping station.[12][13]
The longest possible journey on the London Underground without changing trains is the Central line route between West Ruislip and Epping (34.1 miles / 54.9 km).[14]
Epping station counts approximately 6,200 users daily.[15]
Epping has the largest public London Underground station car park with 519 spaces.[15]

(CNN) -- Pakistan have staged a remarkable recovery in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo after a maiden century from debutant opener Fawad Alam on Monday.
Opener Alam marks his century on his first Test appearance for Pakistan.
After being skittled for a humiliating 90 in their first innings, Pakistan trailed by 150 runs as they began their second knock.
But Alam shared important stands with Khurram Manzoor and captain Younis Khan as Pakistan were 178 for one by the close of the second day, a lead of 28.
Alam, who put on 85 for the first wicket with Manzoor, was 102 not out with Younis on 35 not out.
He closed on his century with a six off spinner Rangana Herath, before pulling him for a two to reach the landmark.
He had put on 93 with Younis and they will look to extend the slender overall lead on a crucial third day in the Sri Lankan capital.
Pakistan were in dire straights overnight with the hosts leading by 74 runs with seven first innings wickets in hand.
But paceman Umar Gul and spinner Saeed Ajmal took four wickets apiece to restrict the home side to 240, the last seven wickets going for just 76.
Gull took the key wicket of Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, who missed out on his century when he was bowled between bat and pad 87.
It was a much-needed morale-boosting performance by World Twenty20 winners Pakistan, who crashed to defeat in the first Test in Galle while chasing a moderate victory target.


Breckenridge claimed during a press call on Wednesday that Democrat Jon Tester was using the same tactic in 2018 that his campaign used in 2012 to defeat Republican Denny Rehberg, by sending a mailer promoting the Libertarian candidate at the time, in order to siphon votes away from Republican Rehberg.
Breckenridge said he obtained a mailer, without a 'paid for by' message, stating that Breckenridge is the 'true conservative' in the Senate campaign, so that conservative voters would be lured away from supporting Rosendale.
Breckenridge neither endorsed nor paid for the mailer.
Breckenridge acknowledged that with a minuscule percentage of polling strength, that he does not pose a danger in swinging the election one way or another, however, he stated his displeasure with the tactics that he says were responsible for the mailer.
Rosendale said he was 'honored' to have the endorsement of Rick Breckenridge.
The Rosendale campaign stated in the press call that a complaint with the FEC (Federal Election Commission) against Tester would be filed shortly.
KGVO has received a response from Luke Jackson with the Tester campaign.

Repealing Section 6 of the Civil Union Act
Friday December 6 is your deadline to indicate your support for repealing Section 6 of the Civil Union Act (via the Civil Union Amendment Bill), and you can do so by writing to Mr Zolani Rento ([email protected]) or Mr G Dixon ([email protected]). I've offered some reasons to support the repeal before, and repeat the invitation made in that post to copy and paste whatever you like from it in your submission.

Finally: recognition as a 'homosexual activist'
Thank you, thank you. I wouldn't be here without the help and support of my cats, Mogwai (pictured), Mr Jones and Mot. I must of course also thank the Family Policy Institute, and particularly its leader, Errol Naidoo, for bestowing this honour on me. The reason for Errol bestowing this honour on me is at this stage slightly ambiguous, but for the sake of argument, let's assume he means "homosexual activist" in both possible senses. Here's an extract from his latest emailed newsletter:
Homosexual activist, Jacques Rosseau [sic] has slammed the Film & Publication Board for its association with Family Policy Institute. Apparently, my work to protect children from exposure to porn on TV and the internet is considered "censorship" a crime worse than the social degradation of children.
While I'm grateful, Errol, I do need to point out a couple of problems with the reasoning of your selection committee in bestowing this honour on me. First, it's not quite true that I'm a "homosexual activist" – instead, I try to be an activist against idiocy of various forms, but particularly the sorts of idiocy that results in discrimination. Yours, for example. But also gender or racial discrimination, or giving one particular religious viewpoint undue attention when it comes to deciding on matters of public policy.
Second, the most important reason for mentioning you in that column was to say that the Film and Publications Board shouldn't be endorsing homophobes. As a state body, you'd think they had a duty to respect the provisions related to equality in the Constitution. So, when some religious creep (not all religious folks count here) calls homosexual behaviour unnatural and immoral, and threatening to "the family" (the families that homosexuals are in don't count, of course), you'd think they should distance themselves from you. But no – you're listed as a "useful link" on their website (but without any text saying something along the lines of "This link is useful if you want to know what a bigot looks like").
Third, I'm fully in support of protecting "the children" from undue harm. But you've never (and nor has anyone else) demonstrated that the children will crack the two pin codes required to view porn late at night, nor that there is good reason to swallow your doomsday-ism about the harms that result from pornography in any case. The evidence is inconclusive, and until you can get God to talk to us herself, rather than through folk like yourself, I'll rather not base public policy decisions on your say-so, thanks.
The rest of the newsletter consists of the usual self-congratulatory detail related to how he's saving civilization through setting up urgent meetings to discuss stuff. Or sometimes, waiting to see if people are willing to meet with him:
I am waiting on confirmation to meet with the DG of Communications, Ms Rosey Sekese and the CEO of ICASA who are currently in Cape Town to discuss the urgent need to amend legislation to specifically prohibit pornography on TV and to install filters on the internet to block online porn.
It's a good thing that not even any Christians I know take him, or his organisation, seriously. Except, that's not quite right: they do take him seriously to the extent that they see him as an embarrassment to their faith, and as very bad PR for Christianity in general. Replace "faith" with "species" in the previous sentence, and the Christians and I are in full agreement.
(A pdf of the full newsletter, in case you want to read more. But there's no good reason to.)


Music is probably my biggest inspiration. I am constantly on the search for good music, because good music transcends through all barriers whether it is alternative, jazz, electronic, hip hop, film scores ect. If its good it brings us together. This was all very fitting when over the weekend I met a new group of very cool people and I had the pleasure of hearing music by this artist Gretchen Parlato. I have always been a huge Jazz lover my favorite being Jazz percussionist Ahmad Jamal, however hearing vocalist and percussionist Parlato I think I have found a new favorite.
Her perfectly crafted sound is refreshing and blissful. Her ability to use her voice as an instrument to skew sounds, mimic instruments and transform pitch is utterly amazing. I spent several hours listening to her repertoire of songs and with each song I loved her even more. I think the subtleness and beauty of her voice is really captivating.
Parlato's voice is not the only thing that is amazing but she has a style that is all her own. From her sleek haircut to her chic and simple yet at time quirky fashion sense she is the total package. From the interviews she has given and her bio Parlato has a strong sense of who she is and the unique talent that she is offering to the world. On the journey to find one's self Parlato has definitely arrived and her spirit is my ROXI inspiration this week.

I woke up at 5:15 in the morning for whatever reason and decided to head to Rosemont early. I'm glad I had some extra time before the trucks passed as I discovered one spot with some excellent trash that I took my time sorting through.
It was sort of an odd day all and all. I kept seeing things that I had seen or found before.
For example, the little glass lamp on the right is exactly like one I found around a year ago. I gave that one to a friend but this one I'll probably sell. It's pretty cute and has some vintage appeal. I also took another lamp as well as a little portable radio (with working batteries!).
A pile of stuff that looked like moving leftovers on Garnier. There was some kid's hockey gear but it wasn't in particularly good shape. I saved this catcher's mitt. It's in great shape, broken in to perfection.
This mitt features the name of Lance Parrish, a former all-star and gold glove catcher. He was at his prime in the early-mid 1980s so this glove likely dates back to then.
More moving leftbehinds. I guess someone decided it was time to let go of their kid's minor hockey plaques.
This was the best spot. Inside these bags I found a good collection of older things, my favourite stuff to rummage through. I also found a number of old photos and slides that will be great for my new photo blog.
A woman came out and expressed concern that I was interested in her "papers," which I assumed meant some personal documents one could possibly steal an identity from. I told her I wasn't really interested in that kind of thing. She ended up giving me a reusable shopping bag to carry stuff with which came in handy. I'm not sure if this stuff was her trash or her upstairs neighbours. I'm going to separate the things I salvaged here into a couple of posts.
These are little tokens from a Shell Oil promotion back in 1970 that commemorated the Prime Ministers of Canada past and present. I recognized these from years ago when I helped my grandmother clean out some of her old stuff. I still have a few coins from that, actually.
However, this person had a full set and the wooden piece that goes along with it. Someone on Ebay is trying to sell theirs for about 53$ (including shipping). I'm not sure if that's realistic but I can definitely get a bit of money for them.
This is a classic cross that hangs from the wall.
A medallion of Jean Paul II, which apparently in Latin is Joannes Pavlvs II.
A dagger with a metal sheath that can be clipped to a belt. Its design looks kind of Asian.
I also pulled out a little box full of St John's Ambulance paraphernalia. The two medals in the back are most notable.
Here's a close up of the medals. The one on the left looks like the insignia of the Venerable Order of St John and the one on the right looks like a Service Medal. I can't tell how old these are really, though apparently the one on the right is still issued today and so it might not be particularly old.
Last but not least, do any Canadians out there remember these? I was still a young'un when the 2$ bill was replaced with a coin. This bill was casually thrown into one of the bags. Hey, I always like finding cash. I'll probably spend it normally and enjoy watching the cashier look at it with moderate interest.
I'll post the other stuff I found in good time. I'm going to cook up some lunch and maybe do a post on my photo blog before going to check out trash of the Mile End.
Interesting haul … topped off with a $2 tip. Life is good. 🙂 Looking forward to examining your treasures this weekend.
Found 2 great lawn chairs today in my neck of the woods, Pierrefonds.
Congratulations on finding the money.I am happy you saved all the badges,pendants and insignia.I would not throw out my kids' minor hockey plaques even when moving.They are not heavy or voluminous;they are easy to transport.I always find such sights sad.What I leave behind while moving is a lot of wrapping,broken furniture,boxes,discarded flyers,food bottles,food containers,etc.Art,photographs and books are what I am attached to.I am always delighted when you rescue paintings,figurines,antiques and books.Your discovery of the Expo 67 slides in the trash thrilled me enormously.Please keep rescuing such photo slides.However,unlike you,I do not rescue typewriters that I see in the trash.I have little use for them;I already have one old typewriter in the closet.
In Rosemont too,you seem to go a lot on Masson and Dandurand.I also hope you go on St.Zotique,Bélanger,Bellechasse and Beaubien streets right up to Pie IX.You should also check out the curbside trash on 13th Avenue to 17th Avenue in Rosemont.
Every neighborhood should have smart scavengers like Martin.Does any reader know great streets or spots for dumpster diving in Ahuntsic-Cartierville?I am talking about art,figurines,food,clothing,furniture,books,etc.It is a very big arondissement so I hope a reader or two can post specific tips on this blog.
I can't speak for every borough but I find that the good trash is pretty random. You might find a bunch of stuff on one street in a week and then nothing the rest of the year. The only thing you can do is explore the streets when the trash is out and before the truck comes.
really like that dagger, the reptilian pattern is striking. Maybe you would be interested in another trade? I recently dived 19 boxes of organic natures path flax, and raisin flax cereal. maybe a few boxes of that? I have some other things . .
I was thinking it would make a good gift for someone I know actually so I think I'll hold onto it!
A few years a man found and rescued a living kitten from a garbage can near Atwater metro.There was a bit of talk about this.Have you ever found an animal or a pet inside a trash bin,alive or dead?If you do,please rescue it and let us know by writing about it on your blog.Let us help reduce animal cruelty.
I've never seen a live animal. Another picker once told me he found a live iguana once (this after some report they could carry salmonella). I saw a dead bird in a cage once but that's all.
This week it is going to be rainy.Please relax and recharge your batteries.Also enjoy the Grand Prix ambiance in downtown over the weekend.I was delighted with you for going to Verdun and Point St.Charles last week to look through the trash.I hope you try some more new areas next week.I hope you will have a girl friend or boy friend who can accompany you and ride another bike on another street but in the same neighborhood —two can carry more than one.Two can cover a greater area than one.
I know I'm late to the game here, but have you found a home for the St John Ambulance stuff? I'd love to help give them a properly honourable home.


Reconsideration Request 18-10 – The Committee discussed the suggested revisions to the recommendation on Request 18-10. Following discussion, the BAMC approved a recommendation to the Board to deny Request 18-10 and that no further action be taken in response to the Request because the Board adopted the Resolution based on accurate and complete information and because the Board's adoption of the Resolution was consistent with ICANN's commitments and core values. Nevertheless, the BAMC noted that because Request 18-10 reflects a difference in interpretation by the Requestor of the Resolution, the BAMC recommended: (i) that the Board reiterates that the Resolution was taken with the clear intention to grant the President and CEO the authority to progress the facilitation process between the ACTO member states and the Amazon corporation with the goal of helping the involved parties reach a mutually agreed solution, but in the event they are unable to do so the Board will make a decision at ICANN 64 on the next steps regarding the potential delegation of .AMAZON and related top-level domains; (ii) a high level of communication between the President and CEO and the relevant stakeholders, including the representatives of the Amazonian countries and the Amazon corporation, between now and ICANN 64; and (iii) the Board continues receiving updates on the facilitation process from the ICANN President and CEO in anticipation of revisiting the status of the .AMAZON applications at its meeting at ICANN64.
Actions: ICANN organization to prepare materials for Board consideration.
