It was quite a nice sunny day when I was leaving Chiang Mai and I was happy when I arrived to the bus station. Walking few kilometers in a sunny day with a big backpack and a guitar took energy from me. They tried to sell me an expensive ticket for 150 THB (4.4 USD), but I knew that I can also take a local bus for 80 THB (2.35 USD). After some asking, I found the place where they were selling these tickets and I bought one. There was a Wi-Fi inside. I was chilling inside and one guy came to buy a ticket. He also wanted to keep his luggage there but they didn't want to look after it. I told him, I will stay there and that I will take care of it. That is how I met Michael from Germany.
Suddenly, there was plenty of smoke around us. What is going on? Fire in the forest? I was asking about it and one girl told me that they are burning the forest in order to grow some expensive mushrooms. I won't buy any mushrooms from you!
We arrived to Pai after nearly 3 hours (normally it should take about 4 hours) and I was quite surprised that there are plenty of shops around. I was expecting a small village – it certainly didn't look like that. Plenty of people were telling me about Pai and I think the tourism changed this village a lot – to a small version of Bangkok.
There is a bar street. One and only. Since 8 pm to 12 pm it is full of people. Bars are next to each other and it is quite common to spend some time in one and then to go to the next one. Up to you 🙂 Beer is expensive, it is better to drink some in 7/11 and then to go to dance. The first day, we went to one bar with Michael. I remember myself coming back from the bar to my hostel at about 0:30 am and grabbing my guitar. I wanted to play so much. I was looking for some place where I would not disturb. Then I found a place close to the road and I was enjoying this beautiful sounding guitar. After about 30 minutes, one Thai guy whom I have seen earlier arrived to the hostel. I saw him playing saxophone in a bar. He just sat next to me and he was listening. Then he started to hum some melodies. No words needed for another 20 minutes. Understanding based upon the feeling. After this session, we agreed on meeting each other the next day.
I rented a bike and we went few kilometers behind Pai. We found a nice place with a red bench underneath a big tree and I started playing and singing. He started playing the saxophone. In that moment the context changed. I was not playing alone anymore. There haven't been so many times when I would be playing with someone else. We were creating something bigger than us. I was enjoying this so much.
The hostel where I lived was full of very inspiring people. It was owned by a painter and musician, it was more like a gallery. There was a small girl jumping all over the place. I was playing with her a lot. She was very interested into my computer and the thing she liked the most was bashing into my keyboard and typing random stuff. While she wasn't perfecting her skill, I was working on my VPN and cloud server and I finally developed a long-term backup solution for my photos.
The other day I met Michael, we borrowed a scooter for him and we went to explore the surroundings. We saw a sign that said "waterfall". We were enjoying our ride and then one older woman jumped into the road and she was showing us that she has some weed that she would like to sell us. We didn't want to buy anything and so we continued to the waterfall. In there, we had an amazing time with Thai guys sliding on the wet rocks. I felt connected with them, everyone was happy and enjoying that place.
We saw a small road that led us to a river which we crossed on our scooters and then we were offroad-riding on some soft and sandy road. This was so much fun. My scooter called "The bluish slime" was suggesting me that his name is not right. It revved hard.
We reached the top of the hill and we were able to see everything around us. A little bit further, people were taking care of their fields.
When we went back, we decided to try to buy something. The lady was still on the same place. She sat on her motorbike with her friend and she told us to follow her. They took us to their stash and they tried to sell us as much as possible for quite a high price. In the end, we bought about 6 g of weed for 300 THB (2.35 USD). On our way back to Pai, we lost each other. I was getting close to Pai and in the corner I saw a soldier with a machine gun. He was showing me to pull over. Behind the corner, there were another 5 soldiers and 4 policemen. They were not checking for international driving licences or helmets. They were looking for drugs. Adrenalin rushed through my veins. I was being checked everywhere like that instead of my balls I had a package of weed there. I was clear, but my friend, he had it with him. I called him right after the roadblock. I wasn't able to reach him for 2 minutes, but then I finally reached him with my czech phone number. He told me that he already went through. He kept repeating "I love Pai, I love Pai." and somehow they stopped searching him 2 cm below the package. Uff. I was reading about the procedure and it is quite aggressive. When they find something, you have to go for 3 weeks minimum anti-drug treatment, then your visa is probably going to expire and you are also going to the court afterwards and you have to pay a lawyer etc.
It is quite difficult to smoke in Thailand. We enjoyed our smuggled stuff well though 🙂 For the next few days, Michaels cottage (or crib how he called it) became our base. Me and Michael, we were walking on the street and I saw Dimitri and Megan – a couple that I met in Chiang Mai. I liked them so much. Everytime I've seen them, they made me happy just by being around. They spent some time in a monastery and they just arrived to Chiang Mai when I met them. I was about to go to the monastery as well but after speaking with them, I realized that it is actually not what I was looking for – too many tourists.
Time changed. I didn't feel the rush while being in Pai. Every day we went somewhere else. One day, we went to see the White Buddha. I wanted to have a conversation with him, but he was not able to hear me. I needed to go closer.
We went to see hot springs, but they asked us for 300 THB (9 USD) per person. No, thanks. Instead of it we went to the Pai canyon. It was full of Japanese people taking selfies and standing right next to the cliff. It was like saying "Me so hero!" with the selfie. Virtual level: Iron man. I am wondering how many people die while taking selfies.
I was moving from one hostel to a different hostel so that I could write some paid reviews. I moved to Ming Guesthouse. In there I met Viv from South Korea. Our conversation started when she saw me programming on my computer. She has just finished a boot camp in Germany and she is about to go there and work there as a programmer. She didn't know about the waterfall so I took her there. In there we met two guys struggling to start their motorbike. I was trying to help them but I wasn't able to make it. I was about to go to the village to get some help and then this Thai woman appeared and she started the bike in 5 seconds. Reskept. We kept meeting these 2 guys all day and so we became friends :D. Mattia and Terence. They were travelling along with Alejandra and it was so much fun to stay with them. The next day, we went about 10 km away from Pai and we played with small Thai kids in the river. I was a bit scared playing with them because I didn't know if it is acceptable or not. Terence just started to play with them as there is no problem at all. I did the same. I made me so happy. I felt exhausted, but I didn't want to stop. I felt like a small kid as well. Just play. Be there.
I was playing a guitar for them for a while and their eyes were shining. I also enjoyed conversations with Terence and Mattia a lot. They had this bright energy without fear.
Michael, Dimitrij, Megan, Terence and Mattia left Pai after some time and me, Viv and Alejandra stayed there.
There was a Thai new year coming (Songkran) and we wanted to see the sunrise on it's first day (13th of April) and also to enjoy Pai for the last time. In the morning, we went and all small kids were already prepared with buckets full of water next to the road. We were riding in 3 people on my motorbike and those kids just kept throwing all the water onto us. It was fun, but in the same time, it was quite dangerous. I was not able to see anything for a while and sometimes it hurt (especially later close to Chiang Mai while riding about 100 km/h). We chilled on the waterfall for the last time and then we rode 4 hours to Chiang Mai to see one of the biggest Songkran celebrations. More in the next article.

Programme Sep – Dec 2010
ILLUSTRATED SEMINARS
THURSDAYS: 16 & 23 SEPTEMBER 2010 The Feud that Sparked the Renaissance
The seminars cover the feud between two Florentine Artists: Flippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo over the commission for the doors of Church of St John the Baptist. Lorenzo Ghiberti got the commission and Brunelleschi took the path that led him to rediscover the laws of perspective. Fifteen years later they were again in contention as to who would build the widest, heaviest and highest dome ever constructed – the Dome of Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. Donatello was their pupil and a younger man Masaccio forged his own way. The four of them laid the ground work for the artistic revolution, now known as the Italian Renaissance.
THURSDAYS: 11 & 18 NOVEMBER 2010 Gauguin Maker of Myth
The seminars will outline the painting career of Paul Gauguin. His post-impressionist style profoundly affected the course of modern European painting. In contrast to the impressionists, he emphasized the symbolic content of his subjects and used broad, flat areas of colour and dark lines to separate objects.
These four two hour seminars will be given by Bernard Courtis and will start at 10.30 hrs at Winchester Discovery Centre Maximum available places 34; Cost £16 per member per subject.
THURSDAYS: 14 & 24 OCTOBER 2010 English Modernists
These Seminars will cover developments in British art during the years 1910 – 1939.
Seminar 1: Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant – will focus on the painting and decorative art of the Bloomsbury Group especially that of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Roger Fry's importance as a curator, lecturer and art critic will be highlighted. We will look at the output of the Omega Workshop and the impact of World War One on artists.
Seminar 2: Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson will consider the post war period and the depression and take us up to the rise of fascism and the outbreak of World War Two. The paintings of Paul Nash and Ben Nicolson will be studied as will the abstract sculpture of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. The influence of Herbert Read's art criticism and his advocacy of modernism will be discussed.
These two two hour seminars will be given by Beth Taylor and will start at 10.30 hrs at Winchester Discovery Centre. Maximum available places 34; Cost £16 per member per subject.
TUESDAY – 7 SEPTEMBER 2010 National Gallery Exhibition Fakes, Mistakes and Discoveries
This exhibition in the Sainsbury Wing explores the vital contributions of applied science to the understanding of Old Master paintings in the National Gallery. A world leader in its field, the Gallery employs advanced techniques in scientific examination, conservation and art historical research to investigate a painting's physical properties. The exhibition will showcase some of the most intriguing stories behind paintings in the Gallery, as it explores the ways in which advances in scholarship and technology can reveal the misconceptions of the past. There will no guide as the exhibits are self explanatory AdmissionFREE No restrictions on numbers attending
TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2010 Southampton Gallery exhibition Bridget Riley – Flashback
Bridget Riley since the mid-1960s has been celebrated for her distinctive, optically vibrant paintings which actively engage the viewer's sensations and perceptions, producing visual experiences that are complex and challenging, subtle and arresting.. Her subject matter is restricted to a simple vocabulary of colours and abstract shapes. These form her starting point and from them she develops formal progressions, colour relationships and repetitive structures. The effect is to generate sensations of movement, light and space: visual experiences which also have a strong emotional and even visceral resonance. Please assemble at Gallery Café at 1015am Maximum available places 15; Cost £4 per member
THURSDAY 9 DECEMBER 2010 V&A Museum Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, 1909 1929
This exhibition will showcase the glamour and magic of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, exploring its origin and legacy 100 years after its first performance. A larger than life personality, Diaghilev's artists included such luminaries as George Balanchine, Coco Chanel, Robert Delaunay, Natalia Goncharova, Vaslav Nijinsky and Pablo Picasso. Diaghilev's extraordinary company, which survived a twentyyear rollercoaster of phenomenal successes and crippling problems, revolutionised ballet. As importantly, Diaghilev's use of avant-garde composers, such as Stravinsky and designers such as Bakst, Goncharova, Picasso and Matisse, made a major contribution to the introduction of Modernism. Cost per member depends on personal situation please see application form

An Overview of Perl
1.3 A Grade Example
Suppose you had a set of scores for each member of a class you are teaching. You'd like a combined list of all the grades for each student, plus their average score. You have a text file (imaginatively named grades) that looks like this:
Clementine 49
Norm 66
Doug 42
Clementine 0
You can use the following script to gather all their scores together, determine each student's average, and print them all out in alphabetical order. This program assumes, rather naively, that you don't have two Carols in your class. That is, if there is a second entry for Carol, the program will assume it's just another score for the first Carol (not to be confused with the first Noël).
By the way, the line numbers are not part of the program, any other resemblances to BASIC notwithstanding.
1  #!/usr/bin/perl
3  open(GRADES, "grades") or die "Can't open grades: $!\n";
4  while ($line = <GRADES>) {
5      ($student, $grade) = split(" ", $line);
6      $grades{$student} .= $grade . " ";
7  }
9  foreach $student (sort keys %grades) {
10      $scores = 0;
11      $total = 0;
12      @grades = split(" ", $grades{$student});
13      foreach $grade (@grades) {
14          $total += $grade;
15          $scores++;
16      }
17      $average = $total / $scores;
18      print "$student: $grades{$student}\tAverage: $average\n";
Now before your eyes cross permanently, we'd better point out that this example demonstrates a lot of what we've covered so far, plus quite a bit more that we'll explain presently. But if you let your eyes go just a little out of focus, you may start to see some interesting patterns. Take some wild guesses now as to what's going on, and then later on we'll tell you if you're right.
We'd tell you to try running it, but you may not know how yet.
Gee, right about now you're probably wondering how to run a Perl program. The short answer is that you feed it to the Perl language interpreter program, which coincidentally happens to be named perl (note the case distinction). The longer answer starts out like this: There's More Than One Way To Do It.[13]
[13] That's the Perl Slogan, and you'll get tired of hearing it, unless you're the Local Expert, in which case you'll get tired of saying it. Sometimes it's shortened to TMTOWTDI, pronounced "tim-toady". But you can pronounce it however you like. After all, TMTOWTDI.
The first way to invoke perl (and the way most likely to work on any operating system) is to simply call perl explicitly from the command line. If you are on a version of UNIX and you are doing something fairly simple, you can use the -e switch (% in the following example represents a standard shell prompt, so don't type it):
% perl -e 'print "Hello, world!\n";'
On other operating systems, you may have to fiddle with the quotes some. But the basic principle is the same: you're trying to cram everything Perl needs to know into 80 columns or so.[14]
[14] These types of scripts are often referred to as "one-liners". If you ever end up hanging out with other Perl programmers, you'll find that some of us are quite fond of creating intricate one-liners. Perl has occasionally been maligned as a write-only language because of these shenanigans.
For longer scripts, you can use your favorite text editor (or any other text editor) to put all your commands into a file and then, presuming you named the script gradation (not to be confused with graduation), you'd say:
% perl gradation
You're still invoking the Perl interpreter explicitly, but at least you don't have to put everything on the command line every time. And you don't have to fiddle with quotes to keep the shell happy.
The most convenient way to invoke a script is just to name it directly (or click on it), and let the operating system find the interpreter for you. On some systems, there may be ways of associating various file extensions or directories with a particular application. On those systems, you should do whatever it is you do to associate the Perl script with the Perl interpreter. On UNIX systems that support the #! "shebang" notation (and most UNIX systems do, nowadays), you can make the first line of your script be magical, so the operating system will know which program to run. Put a line resembling[15] line 1 of our example into your program:
[15] If perl isn't in /usr/bin, you'll have to change the #! line accordingly.
Then all you have to say is
% gradation
Of course, this didn't work because you forgot to make sure the script was executable (see the manpage for chmod (1))[16] and in your PATH. If it isn't in your PATH, you'll have to provide a complete filename so that the operating system knows how to find your script. Something like
[16] Although Perl has its share of funny notations, this one must be blamed on UNIX. chmod (1) means you should refer to the manpage for the chmod command in section one of your UNIX manual. If you type either man 1 chmod or man -s 1 chmod (depending on your flavor of UNIX), you should be able to find out all the interesting information your system knows about the command chmod. (Of course, if your flavor of UNIX happens to be "Not UNIX!" then you'll need to refer to your system's documentation for the equivalent command, presuming you are so blessed. Your chief consolation is that, if an equivalent command does exist, it will have a much better name than chmod.)
% ../bin/gradation
Finally, if you are unfortunate enough to be on an ancient UNIX system that doesn't support the magic #! line, or if the path to your interpreter is longer than 32 characters (a built-in limit on many systems), you may be able to work around it like this:
#!/bin/sh -- # perl, to stop looping
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if 0;
Some operating systems may require variants on this to deal with /bin/csh, DCL, COMMAND.COM, or whatever happens to be your default command interpreter. Ask your Local Expert.
Throughout this book, we'll just use #!/usr/bin/perl to represent all these notions and notations, but you'll know what we really mean by it.
A random clue: when you write a test script, don't call your script test. UNIX systems have a built-in test command, which will likely be executed instead of your script. Try try instead.
A not-so-random clue: while learning Perl, and even after you think you know what you're doing, we suggest using the -w option, especially during development. This option will turn on all sorts of useful and interesting warning messages, not necessarily in that order. You can put the -w switch on the shebang line, like this:
Now that you know how to run your own Perl program (not to be confused with the perl program), let's get back to our example.

Barclays Officials in Court on Charges of Receiving Money from Qatar - ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English Archive
Barclays Officials in Court on Charges of Receiving Money from Qatar
by Asharq Al-Awsat | Jul 4, 2017 | Business |
London- Four former top Barclays executives appeared in court in London on Monday to face charges that they conspired to commit fraud during the bank's 12 billion pound ($15.56 billion) emergency fundraising in 2008.
Former Chief Executive Officer John Varley, former chairman of investment banking for the Middle East Roger Jenkins, ex-wealth chief Thomas Kalaris and Richard Boath, former European head of the bank's financial institutions group were charged by Britain's Serious Fraud Office in June in the first criminal prosecution for senior bankers' actions during the financial crisis.
In a 60-minute hearing at Westminster magistrates court, the case was sent to Southwark Crown Court, with the next hearing scheduled for July 17.
The case centers on agreements between Barclays and Qatari investors during two fundraisers in June and October 2008.
The men are the most senior UK banking executives to face criminal action since the financial crisis, which sent banks scrambling to raise funds to cover billions in losses. The Serious Fraud Office case relates to 322 million pounds ($418 million) in fees Barclays paid the Qatar Investment Authority and a $3 billion loan facility it made available to the nation as part of side deals to the 12 billion-pound fundraising from the Qataris and others.
Qatar Holding, part of the Qatar Investment Authority sovereign wealth fund, and Challenger, an investment vehicle of former Qatari Prime minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, invested around 5.3 billion pounds in Barclays.
The defendants were all charged with conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation in relation to the first round of fundraising.
Barclays, Varley and Jenkins were charged with another count in regard to the second round of financing, as well as a separate charge of providing unlawful financial assistance.
In bailing all four, senior district judge Emma Arbuthnot ordered Jenkins and Kalaris to pay a security each of 500,000 pounds because Jenkins lives in the United States and Kalaris is a dual national.
Boath and Varley were released on unconditional bail.

Q: Change the content of a page from a wordpress plugin I am creating a payment gateway for woocommerce and it works great.
Now I need to change the content  of the thank you page so I think that is better to create one of my own.
I have a folder with the page that I want to show inside my plugins under a "templates" folder, si my idea is to show that one.
I still not able to show the content of that website. Any ideas on how to do this ? I would be really greatful.

A: At the end, the best solution was to have functions / shortcodes that do some stuff before loading the pages and then redirecting to the pages.
At least this worked for my plugin.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/webpay-woocommerce-plugin/
Any way, if you want to change the content, you could add a website through the plugin calling the following methods.
get_header();
get_footer();

With those 2 functions I could call everything that I needed to create my website page withing my plugin.

Just what colour should the Sand Scorcher be? If you said "French Blue" (and white) then a lot of people would agree with you - any online source you care to look at is going to tell you the "correct" colours for the Sand Scorcher are TS-7 Racing White and TS-10 French Blue.
However, I don't think that's right - or at least, not always.
Note: I have to admit that the way colours are reproduced on screen may be undermining my argument here, perhaps to a fatal extent - all the blue colours here, despite being obviously different to the naked eye when the actual items are right in front of me, all look the same on my monitor.
Re-release (2010) models - those colours are specifically called out in the build manual. Although let's face, every man & his whippet has a French Blue and white Scorcher.
Later vintage examples - I don't have a specific date in mind, for discussion purposes let's say that mk.2 Scorchers (original "grey" bumper, stubs instead of screws for locating the springs in the front suspension towers, "normal" looking front arms, space for only a single 1150 bearing in each rear arm, plus a whole load of detail changes on the gearbox castings, and no doubt things I can't remember off the top of my head) probably should be painted French Blue, if you want it to be "box art".
I can't say anything other than that, because the vintage bodyset (which dates from later than the kit) box illustrations call for TS-7 and TS-10. However, the illustrations match spookily well to the brush paint X-14 "Sky Blue" - and not "French Blue" at all (images 01 & 02).
A further "however" is that I also have to go on my experience of the period. Although you'd have been able to buy a Scorcher kit from most British model shop worthy of the name at the end of the 1970s/very early 1980s, there is no way you'd have been able to get Tamiya aerosol paints of any description.
If you were very lucky you might have been able to get Tamiya X & XF brush paints, but more likely your "choice" would have been a rack of Humbrol Enamel tinlets, or to go to your local motor factors (or Halfords) & pick out a couple of colours that looked close.
Given the high relative cost of the kit, plus the radio gear, battery, charger, more batteries for the transmitter, you (or your parents) would probably have drawn the line at the metal bearings the model shop might have tried to push, let alone spending even more on paints.
This I suspect is why you see so many "loft find" Sand Scorchers brush painted in whatever little Johnny had left over from his Airfix kits, or whatever cellulose rattle cans dad had left over in the garage. Compared to any of the randomness that produced, any blue/white combination really should be considered "correct".
TS paints didn't appear in the English language edition of the Tamiya Catalogues until 1997, which I think backs up my point: the further you got from Japan, politically as well as geographically, the less likely it is that you can be prescriptive about what the "correct" colours should be.
Glossing over (boom! boom!) the non-availability of Tamiya TS paints in the UK for several years at the end of the noughties/beginning of the teenies due to "labelling issues", the insistence that there are correct colours to use and that anything else is wrong is a luxury (and a laziness, IMO) borne of easy access to items from all over the world, undreamt of in the past.
To summarise, if you were building a later Scorcher in Europe, you probably would have just used any mid blue you could get your hands on, maybe even a colour called French Blue. But it almost certainly wouldn't have been a Tamiya product.
Mk.1 Scorchers, which had the original black bumper, screws in front towers instead of stubs, much thinner front arms, gearbox casting differences, space for dual bearings in rear arms, etc - which for discussion purposes we'll say was available in 1979 and 1980 (?) shouldn't be French Blue IMO if you want it to be "correct".
In earlier Tamiya photos (there's a specific one used in a lot of Tamiya materials for several years, image 03 shows a scan of it from the 1983 RC Guide Book) showing a Mk.1 (or possibly even prototype, judging by the impossibly pale radio box without embossing) Scorcher with paintwork that looks very much like X-14 Sky Blue.
The colours aren't called out in vintage build manuals. The example in the vintage Scorcher isn't even blue and white - red and yellow are called out, and not even with Tamiya reference numbers.
The earliest appearance of TS paints in Tamiya literature (thanks Lars) is in the Japanese version of the 1981 RC Guide Book. From that I deduce that the very earliest adopters of the Sand Scorcher (which has an official release date of December 1979) just wouldn't have been able to buy the "correct" paint at all, so any blue white combination that looked like the box could be considered "box art". If you wanted to stick with Tamiya paints your choices would have been pretty much limited to X-4 Blue (which looks far too dark) or X-14 Sky Blue (which is a pretty good match - but if you go by the cap alone it can look worryingly lurid).
Try to look at the illustration on the box (image 04) with an objective eye - I'm not sure that even on average you could call that French Blue, the colours look to me to vary between Sky Blue and Royal Blue, via several shades of blue in the middle -and even if it does look French Blue, that doesn't mean it's correct - I'm thinking specifically of the Rough Rider and Sand Rover that look red on the box but "should" be orange, and the later Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide that looks black but "should" be blue.
Think about it - if you didn't already "know" that colour was "supposed" to be "French Blue" and I showed you an appropriate colour chip & asked you if it was in fact "Wedgewood Blue", would you agree?
Repeat the same thought experiment but substitute "1970's British Rail locomotive blue" or "Oxford Blue" - same result? The results would vary by gender (most women have a better sense of colour differentiation than most men), whether I was wearing a white coat & spoke in RP (or wore a silly hat & reverted to a Norfolk accent), or whether I told you what was "correct" or guided you to your own conclusion - physiology and psychology would be at least as important as the actual colour.
X-14 Sky Blue and any white or off-white Japan, & probably the USA: Tamiya French Blue & Racing white.
UK (& probably the ROW): some sort of French Blue & white, just not Tamiya. Tamiya French Blue & Racing white.

10/8/03 - IRAQ'S NEW ARMY - 2003-10-10
President George W. Bush says the Iraqi people have taken another major step towards building a democratic Iraq:
". . . seven hundred and fifty Iraqi citizens completed their military training and became the first battalion of the new Iraqi army. For decades, Iraq's army served the interests of a dictator. Today, a new army is serving the Iraqi people. And less than a year from now, Iraq will have a forty-thousand-member military force, trained and dedicated to protecting their fellow citizens."
Soldiers in the new battalion join more than eighty-thousand other Iraqis serving as police officers, civil defense troops, border guards, and security forces. The U.S. and its coalition allies are helping to train and equip Iraq's new military and police forces. President Bush says the Iraqi people are already seeing a change for the better:
"For three decades, the police in Iraq were the feared enforcers of a dictatorship. Now Iraq's new police are enforcing the just laws of an emerging democracy. . . . We're on the offensive against the desperate holdouts and Saddam loyalists who oppose progress in Iraq. The free nation we are helping to build will be free of them."
Iraqi police are working with coalition forces to arrest terrorists and violent criminals. A judicial system is being established that will deal out fair and effective justice and protect the newly-won civil liberties of the Iraqi people. To aid the Iraqi people in this and help meet their security needs, the U.S. will provide some five-billion dollars. President Bush says security is vital to Iraq's development: "Greater security is essential to Iraq's future. A secure Iraq will protect the nation's schools, and the hospitals that are opening, and the roads that are being built, and the water and power facilities we are repairing."
The transition from dictatorship to self-government is a complex and difficult process, but the Iraqi people are making it. President Bush says that the U.S., for its part, "will keep our promise to fully return Iraq's government to Iraq's people as soon as possible."

Syrah, also known as Shiraz in Australia, is one of the most noble grapes of the Rhône Valley, and by far the most widely planted Rhone variety in California. It is a key component in both our Grenache-based Côtes de Tablas and our Mourvedre-based Esprit de Tablas (typically 20-35% of each, depending on vintage), the lead grape in our Patelin de Tablas and Le Complice blends, and makes a wonderfully dark, spicy varietal wine, which we've made most years since 2002.
Syrah is one of the oldest established grape varietals in the Côtes du Rhône region of southern France, and the sixth-most-planted grape worldwide. It is tremendously flexible, and can make elegant and restrained wines as well as wines bursting with fruit and oak, in locations as diverse as France, California, South Africa, and Australia.
Despite various other legends about its origin, DNA research by Carole Meredith at U.C. Davis showed that Syrah is a native French grape, the offspring of two grapes (Dureza & Mondeuse Blanche) from southeastern France. Syrah first appears in the historical record in 1781 outside the Rhone village of Tain-l'Hermitage, where it is still planted today. The origin of Syrah's name is unknown, though it does not appear to have anything to do with the Persian city of Shiraz or the Greek island of Syra. Instead, linguists suggest it comes from the Latin word serus, meaning late-ripening.
Syrah is still most closely associated with the Northern Rhône appellations of Hermitage and Côte-Rotie, where it produces wines of phenomenal elegance and longevity. But it is also an important component (typically second after Grenache) in the wines of the southern Rhone, and actually represents a higher percentage of total national acreage in both Australia and South Africa than it does in France.
Syrah Around the World
France, Syrah acreage has grown nearly fifty-fold in the last half-century, from roughly 4,000 acres, most in the northern Rhône, in 1958 to nearly 170,000 acres all over the south of France today. In the northern Rhone, Syrah is typically made as a varietal wine, at times co-fermented or blended with small amounts of Viognier. In the southern Rhône and Languedoc, Syrah is an important blending varietal, and second only to Grenache in acreage. It provides to Grenache-based blends darker color, structure, tannin and ageability.
Australia, where the grape is known as Shiraz, has the second-most planted acres after France, at some 108,000 acres. It is the most-planted grape there, accounting for roughly one quarter of total acreage. Other countries with more than 10,000 acres planted include Spain, Argentina, South Africa, Italy, and the United States.
The first records of Syrah in the United States show it arriving in California in 1878, but it remained scarce until quite recently, with only 1,200 tons harvested in 1992. But the grape was about to experience rapid growth. In 1995 there were just 1,330 acres of Syrah in California. By 2001 there were 14,700 acres, an eleven-fold increase in six years. Acreage peaked in 2010 at 19,280, and declined to 15,400 acres by 2019 as many of vineyards supplying bulk grapes instead switched to the more fashionable Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. Syrah is still the most widely planted Rhône grape in California, with more acreage than all the other Rhone varieties combined. Although it is occasionally confused with Petite Sirah, they are separate grapes. Experts believe most of what is called Petite Sirah is a cross of the varietals Peloursin and Durif.
Syrah at Tablas Creek
When we brought our cuttings from France we included four different clones of Syrah. These were quarantined for three years, then propagated here. We planted our first Beaucastel-clone Syrah blocks in 1994. The 14.8 acres we have is our 3rd-most, after Mourvedre and Grenache.
Syrah in the Vineyard and Cellar
Syrah is quite vigorous, and requires both fruit and cane thinning most years. Unlike most other Rhone grapes, its canes extend horizontally rather than up toward the sun, which is why it is the one grape permitted to be trellised instead of head-trained in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It ripens earlier than any of the other red Rhône varietals, and we typically harvest it throughout the first half of September.
Syrah's small clusters and small berries produce juice with concentrated flavors and significant tannin. During vinification, we ferment Syrah in large open-top tanks, a process that exposes the juice to more oxygen and thereby softens the tannins and compensates for Syrah's tendency toward reduction.
Syrah's small clusters and small berries produce juice with dark color, concentrated flavors and significant tannin. During vinification, we ferment Syrah in large open-top tanks, exposing the juice to oxygen and softening the tannins. We have recently begun experimenting with some whole-cluster fermentations, which emphasize Syrah's herbal and spice elements. Wines made from Syrah are intense with a dark purple-black color, with flavors of blackberry and black raspberry, smoke, bacon fat, and black pepper. Syrah reflects minerality well, and the chalky character of the tannins allow majority Syrah wines to age for decades, while also providing backbone to softer, fruitier grapes such as Grenache.
In our Mourvèdre-based Esprit de Tablas, Syrah is either the second or third grape, adding a deep blackish-purple color, minerality, spice, longevity and back-palate tannins. In our Grenache-based Côtes de Tablas, Syrah is our number two component, cutting the apparent sweetness of Grenache and producing wines that are balanced between sweet and savory notes, with more color, mineral, and spice. It is the lead grape, representing roughly half the total, of our Patelin de Tablas. Since 2016, we have celebrated the kinship between whole-cluster-fermented Syrah and Terret Noir with our Le Complice bottling. Finally, beginning in 2002 we have bottled Syrah as a varietal wine in limited quantities about two-thirds of our vintages.

Lakeland couple tied up in home, robbed at gunpoint
LAKELAND (FOX 13) - An elderly couple is in shock, and three suspects have been arrested, and Lakeland police continue their investigation after a home invasion in Lakeland early Monday morning.
Close to 1 a.m., Lakeland police received a call regarding a home invasion on Cleveland Heights Boulevard. The victim, Claudia Critton, had reported to police that someone had rung her doorbell and run away earlier in the evening. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again and four suspects entered the home.
Police say at least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun. The suspects proceeded to tie up Mrs. Critton and threaten bodily harm to Mr. Critton if he did anything. The individuals stole electronics, money and the couple's car.
Just 30 minutes later, police say Lt. Brent Addison spotted a speeding vehicle. He later found the vehicle crashed into a ditch at the intersection of Main Street and Don's Court. Three suspects were found inside the car who matched the descriptions provided by Mr. and Mrs. Critton. Also in the vehicle were several of the Critton's stolen items.
The suspects taken into custody are 16-year-old Julio Alcantar, 15-year-old Joseph Alcantar, and 19-year-old Issiah Coffy.
The vehicle they had been driving was not the car stolen from the Crittons, but a different vehicle that was reported stolen in Kissimmee.
Mr. and Mrs. Crifton told FOX 13 that they are "thankful to be alive."
Police are still searching for the fourth suspect and for the stolen car, which is a 2012 black Buick Lacrosse with Florida tag BGU-C84.

Bolton Wanderers to start 2019/20 season with points deduction
Bolton will begin the season on -12 points after entering administration

Bolton Wanderers have been deducted 12 points for the start of the 2019-20 season and will begin the campaign on negative points.
Bolton were relegated from the Championship this season after a woeful campaign, which included their clash with Brentford being cancelled - and the Bees were awarded a 1-0 victory.
A statement released on Bolton's official website confirmed the club had entered administration, with Paul Appleton and Asher Miller of London-based insolvency firm David Rubin and Partners as joint administrators.

It was also confirmed that Fildraw – and not Ken Anderson – has placed the club into administration.
As such, Bolton will kickstart their League One campaign next season on -12 points.
"This has obviously been a long-running situation and it is vitally important that we quickly establish the position of both the football club and the holding company," Appleton said in a statement.

"It has got to the stage where the Trust could not sit back and allow the club to go into liquidation. Decisive action had to be taken and the Trust believes the decision is in the best interests of Bolton Wanderers."
"Everybody at the club as well as the supporters need a sense of clarity and that is what I will be seeking to provide as quickly as possible."

Rose quartz is your go-to stone for all matters of the heart – everything from self-love to romantic love to healing from a breakup to forgiveness.

The power of love is limitless and everlasting. When you shift your mindset and see your problems from a place of love, it softens your heart and then your mind can fall into that same heart space of love.

After your bath, give the rose petals back to the earth – don't throw them away in the trash.
Carry your rose quartz with you in your purse or pocket, or place it on your nightstand in your bedroom.
Hold your rose quartz in your dominant hand. Breathe in and out deeply seven times. Affirm out loud, "I choose love." Say this affirmation as many times as you need to, until your heart and your head feel that these words are true.
Lie down on your bed, a yoga mat or on any other flat surface, and set a timer for eleven minutes. Place your rose quartz over your heart and just breathe. Know in your heart and soul that love is the foundation of all things. You can change your life at anytime through love. When the timer rings, you are finished! Be kind to yourself today. You are loved.

Take action once you hear the names and tell those people that you love them.

'Jeopardy: The Greatest of All Time' a HUGE Ratings Hit
Eric McCandless/ABC
01/11/2020 by Rick Porter for The Hollywood Reporter
The ABC specials are averaging 3 million-plus more viewers than any other non-sports program this season.
Through its first three airings on ABC, Jeopardy: The Greatest of All Time is averaging close to 15 million viewers in same-day ratings.
To say it's been a while since a network show consistently put up those kinds of numbers would be an understatement. And in the context of the current season, the show is pulling in audiences almost no other entertainment show can match — even with the benefit of delayed viewing.
The Greatest of All Time has grown its audience each night it has aired so far: 14.42 million for its debut on Jan. 7, 14.87 million the next night and 15.55 million for round three. The competition featuring Jeopardy hall of famers Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter will air at least one more time, on Tuesday; the tournament ends when one player notches three nightly wins.
Those three episodes rank second, third and fourth among all entertainment programs so far this season in viewers. Only NBC's Golden Globes broadcast, with 18.32 million viewers, currently ranks ahead of it.
Each episode of The Greatest of All Time has also outdrawn the first four games of the 2019 NBA Finals, the first five games of the 2019 World Series, all but one of ESPN's 17 Monday Night Football telecasts and seven of Fox's 11 Thursday Night Football showcases.
As for entertainment programming, the Jeopardy stunt's same-day average of 14.95 million viewers is currently running 32 percent — and more than 3.6 million viewers — ahead of the next most-watched show, CBS' NCIS at 11.33 million. It's also the top non-sports show in adults 18-49 with a 2.3 rating, 15 percent ahead of The Masked Singer's 2.0.
It has been four years since any non-sports program averaged as many same-day viewers as The Greatest of All Time is now. NCIS (16.6 million) and The Big Bang Theory (15.2 million) did so in the 2015-16 season.

Good score for CHEK.


One of the final stops on my "tour" was Daddy Daughter Night at Chickfila. At the last training I went to with my previous company, David Salyers, the Vice President of National, Regional and Local Marketing for Chickfila, spoke to us about being Remarkable! He showed many tear inducing videos (you can find them here and here) throughout the presentation, one of which highlighted the community event Chickfila restaurants put on – Daddy Daughter Date Night! As a 32 year old daughter, even I was moved to go! I talked my father into joining me for a night of castles and princess cows and it was awesome!
As I eat at all my regular spots and say my goodbyes, I have noticed a repeat offender, Vert's Kebap! I have literally had lunch here every other day for the past two weeks!!! If you haven't had it yet, it is a must!
Not only have I been eating and enjoying my favorite spots but I have been fitting in as many Orange Theory Fitness sessions and Strike! classes. I am definitely going to miss these two formats, but I can't wait to discover the classes in El Paso and hopefully teach one in the near future!
I know I will be back to visit family and friends, but it has been fun catching up with friends and coworkers, eating at old favorites and soaking up the last few days I am in Austin. Thank you to everyone that has made time to see and spend time with me before I head west!!
