ST. GEORGE – One of the most-used and oldest parks in St. George may be getting a facelift down the road once funding becomes available.
A part of the central downtown area of St. George, Vernon Worthen Park has played host to a myriad of events since the 1940s. Due to age and extensive use, city officials want to upgrade and modernize the park in order to better accommodate safety and accessibility issues. They also want to provide downtown residents with the same amenities that are offered to neighborhoods with newer parks.
"It is one of the most popular and busiest spaces and most programmed places in town," said Jeff Peay, parks planning manager for the city. The only other park that is used as much is the Town Square, he said.
Peay presented a conceptual master plan to the St. George City Council during a Feb. 28 work meeting that addressed various needs and issues surrounding the aging facility.
The plan came into being after members of the City Council asked about moving the playground away from the road. While looking at the possibility, city staff also took the opportunity to address other issues, such as parking.
The master plan, which will be implemented in phases, moves the playground equipment to the center of the park near the restrooms. The gazebo will also be moved, relocated north of the playground's new position. To the east of the playground, below upgraded pickleball courts, an amphitheater is proposed that will be accompanied by a shade structure.
West of the pickleball courts, where the city currently has a gated area for two greenhouses and equipment storage, a parking lot is proposed accessible from 200 South.
"One of the things we really wanted to do is create a front door for the park," Peay said, noting the proposed plan helps achieve that purpose. It also gets some of the parking off of 400 East, which pleased council members with safety concerns related to parking along the busy road.
The proposed parking lot could also be used as a staging location for events like the St. George Lions Club's annual Dixie Roundup rodeo, Peay said, as it is positioned across from of the Dixie Sunbowl's southern entrances.
Another element Peay showed on the proposed plan was a trail wrapping around the park with paths leading to the restroom and other parts of the park.
The trail will help tie things together, Peay said, as well as supply easier access to elements of the park for individuals who use wheelchairs or have other mobility issues. It will also provide better access for maintenance vehicles. Right now elements of the park are spread out, he said, and offer little uniformity.
The Pearl Harbor Memorial currently installed by the park's gazebo would be relocated to a point along the trail system as well. And the fireplace-chimney structure currently set north of the playground would be removed.
"It's a great concept," St. George Mayor Jon Pike said.
A facelift for the old park would help with continuing efforts to rejuvenate neighborhoods in downtown St. George, City Manager Gary Esplin said. Having a revamped and modernized park will also be nice to have along with the new Legacy Elementary School the Washington County School District is building next to the Dixie Sunbowl.
"The new school needs that new park," Councilwoman Bette Arial said.
The City Council expressed its favor for the proposed master plan, yet Esplin noted there currently is no available funding for the project that would run an estimated $2 million.
The mayor said the money for the park project could come from a possible sale of city property. Once funding is secured, Pike said, the project will likely become a priority for the city, echoing the words he said during last month's meeting.
"I think it ought to be a priority," the mayor said.

Robert D. Kavanaugh, Hales Professor of Psychology, Emeritus
Since coming to Williams in 1976, you have served the college in almost every way possible. In the classroom you have introduced countless students to the marvels of human behavior. As a researcher you have expanded our understanding of the mind of the child, and in particular of the important things that happen in that mind when adult and child play pretend. This long-term research project has led to a string of scholarly papers and has drawn in a great number of your students, many of whom have gone on in the field. You have chaired the psychology department during times of rapid growth, and in the 1990s chaired the Campus Commission on Race Relations. You have served as dean of first-year students, were an early director of the Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford, and later directed the Oakley Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences. With department colleagues you wrote an introductory psychology textbook that has been in wide use nationally, while locally your interest in children has led to your service on the Williamstown Elementary School Committee and as president of the Williamstown Community Day Care Center. In short, you have exemplified the liberal arts faculty ideal of teacher, scholar, administrator, and citizen.
I hereby declare you Hales Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, entitled to all the rights, honors, and privileges appertaining thereto.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE — June 25, 2020
Published: Jun 23, 2020 at 4:10 p.m.
Updated: Jun 25, 2020 at 6 a.m.
Mount Allison faculty members applaud the graduates as they enter Convocation Hall last May. "Universities do best when people are hired and appointed on academic criteria alone," argues Mark Mercer. - SaltWire Network
Hiring on wrong basis
Re: "Universities stuck in doldrums when it comes to diversity." In his June 21 online opinion piece, Scott Stewart, chair of the Student, Staff and Faculty Alliance (SSFA), recommends that universities hire "Black and Indigenous tenured faculty and senior administrators" and include "dedicated spots for Black and Indigenous members on boards of governors."
But universities do best when people are hired and appointed on academic criteria alone — and race, ethnicity, and cultural affiliation are not academic criteria. A university that has abandoned academic criteria cannot function as a place of free, open, and dispassionate inquiry and teaching. The post-academic university Stewart favours will serve no one well.

No nuance in statue-smashing frenzy
With the "smash the statues" anti-racism protesters in overdrive, columnist Gail Lethbridge joins in and takes a sledgehammer swing at 18th century Nova Scotia governor Edward Cornwallis ("Will racism truly recede as symbols fall?" June 13).
She laments the fact the Cornwallis statue is no longer standing in Cornwallis Park since "there would have been a certain poetic justice in seeing him toppled during anti-racist protests." But don't give up — the statue may end up "smashed … to pieces and hauled off to the dump."
At a time when facts, historical and otherwise, can change as fast as fashions, Cornwallis has become a convenient symbol of the anti-colonial/anti-racism movement. Historical events and personalities are open to any number of interpretations and perspectives, and Cornwallis is no exception, given his role in establishing Halifax while opposed by a hostile French-Indigenous alliance.
Often overlooked is the fact Cornwallis was responsible for safeguarding the settlers he brought with him in 1749 and those who followed. The 1749 bounty (rescinded in 1752) on taking prisoners or killing a Mi'kmaw warrior was a military tactic intended to protect the settlers. But the bounty did not deter Indigenous forces from attacking settlers in Halifax, Dartmouth and Lunenburg during the 1750s. (Bounties for scalps were paid by both the French at Louisbourg and the British.)
Lethbridge makes a good point that "real change happens with the donkey work of data gathering, comparison and transparency." A good start in this regard, particularly to maximize the learning opportunities represented by statues and similar works of art, is a read or reread of the Halifax council minutes of the 1749-1752 period, along with Cornwallis's reports to superiors in London and related military accounts covering the turbulent 1740s and 1750s in the region.
Hopefully, this will help to place Cornwallis's Nova Scotia actions in context and slow the "smash the statues" sprint to a donkey's pace.

Focusing on anomalies
When I am exposed to the risks to life and health associated with some of my vitall medications, I'm left to wonder. My fears are for the most part put to rest when my physician explains that the chances of an adverse effect are rare, to the point of being statistically insignificant. I am advised to continue my meds, as the benefits far outweigh the risks.
In a similar vein, there are 18,000 police forces in the U.S. and many hundreds of thousands of arrests each year, the vast majority of which are dealt with appropriately and for the benefit of society.
We aren't exposed to that story — just those rare and unjustifiable incidents that leave us wondering if these police forces should be shut down.
I stop wondering when, as my physician would say, the benefits far outweigh the risks. Some think that it's the media that should be defunded for the relentless focus on those rare cases without any statistical context.

Don't waste this crisis
It's hard to believe it was only six months ago that Greta Thunberg was here in Canada. Why, just last summer we were hosting town halls, planning our transition to a green economy, promoting green jobs.
Some of us were trying to change forestry policy and put paid to Prof. Bill Lahey's recommendations. Others were still trying to get the provincial government to wake up to his 2015 recommendations on open-net pens — the seminal Doelle-Lahey Report — but it still languishes in a miasma of government-industry double-speak.
Many were fighting to influence the Trudeau government's rewrite of the Environment Act and address the challenge of the industry-captive regulatory process, which governs offshore drilling.
There were also massive ongoing struggles against provincial and federal government supports for damaging, dangerous industries that clearly work against the Paris accord and against the Mi'kmaw ethic of netukulimk — that is, using the natural bounty provided by the Creator without jeopardizing the integrity, diversity or productivity of our environment.
Then came COVID-19, Portapique, and the killing of George Floyd. Viral infections, madness, race relations — vital front-page issues — eclipsed our environmental crisis. The survival of life on this planet suddenly found itself in the backseat.
As a species, it seems we suffer from ADD. Hard to keep our eyes on the ball. But all these things are so closely related. Driven by greed and unearned entitlement, income disparity and poverty drive our current woes. It is they which threaten our very existence.
So, as we are coming out of this COVID period, it's time for corrective measures. We must take advantage of our recent hard-earned experience to change course. We will have only one shot at this. We cannot go back to the way things were.

More Duffy, please
Re: "I fought the lawn and the lawn won." I must say it was with delight and a sense of nostalgia that I read Peter Duffy's June 17 letter. It brought me back to the enjoyment of reading his regular column years ago — the chuckles and amusement brought on by his lighthearted, yet informative tone, being educated on various topics or interesting folks he had interviewed, not to mention the bits and bobs of the developments on Coronation Street.
Though I felt badly for his misfortune with his current attempts at maintaining his green space (his letter's topic), he conveyed it in that entertaining and adorably self-deprecating way that many of us had grown to anticipate and appreciate over the years, in print.
Personally, I'd be thrilled to see more letters by Peter Duffy in the future — and I bet I speak for others. We've missed you, kind sir, but no pressure, of course...

Seaport market in slow lane
Why is it so complicated to fully open the Seaport Farmers Market in Halifax? The point of going there is to enjoy the spontaneity of buying what you see.
To pre-order takes the whole experience away from walking around. Now I see they are opening Saturdays only, outside, with primary producers for pre-order pickup.
Any answers as to why?
We can go to Costco, Walmart, shopping centres without pre-ordering, but not farmer's markets.
Oh, well, a summer with changes in my Saturday schedule. I will miss seeing my regulars.

Our new kit for Team KitBrix was publicly launched at the London Outdoor Show, provided by Champion System UK who are now providing team kit to the OCR industry.
"Team KitBrix will be running in our super light weight CS Tech Lite™ Performance tops and lycra lined shorts. The full-stretch fabric has super high wicking properties delivering effective thermoregulation. This helps keep the athlete comfortable so they can remain 100% focussed on the next obstacle.
"The new design is more of a retro cycle kit style and will certainly make us instantly recognisable on the course again."
"The people that make up the team have to give 100% effort and be respectful of the brand, the sport of OCR and every individual that partakes. Winning is not as important as team ethic and values. Although we are spread across the UK (and now Europe!) communication and team work is key to helping each other on and off the courses.
We have some members that focus on podiums and others that want to achieve their own goals. The balance is extremely important in the team and we are delighted that our new line up for 2018 is split with male and female age group athletes, along with our Elite racer Conor Hancock and our Swedish brother Jens Jexmark.
With the World Championships being hosted in the UK this year we are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and working with every athlete, race organiser and event to promote OCR.

How NAFTA Drives Immigration
Like many developing countries, Mexico's economy is heavily dependent upon agriculture.
NAFTA required Mexico to end the majority of its subsidies and credit programs for small farmers.
NAFTA also required Mexico to eliminate tariffs on agricultural imports from the United States. This resulted in a flood of cheap grains into Mexican markets.
Imports fromthe U.S. are cheaper than food grown in Mexico because U.S. staple crops receive billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer subsidies, allowing large agribusiness exporters to sell grains on the international market for less than what it actually costs farmers to grow them.
The flood of imports has forced over one million Mexian corn farmers out of business since NAFTA took effect. According to the Economic Policy Institute, at the end of 2004, there were 6.8 million unemployed agricultural workers in Mexico.
The poverty rate in rural areas has climbed to an outrageous 81 percent. This has led to an exodus from rural areas into cities and border towns, creating intense competition for jobs and driving down wages for everyone.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Mexican-born people living in the United States increased by more than 80% between 1990 and 2000.
Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans continue to migrate to the U.S. each year, with more than two-thirds coming from corn-producing regions.
Things Working Americans Should Know about Immigration
NO LEGAL ENTRY: For most Mexicans displaced by NAFTA, there is no legal way to migrate into the United States. Most people who legally immigrate do so through a family petition. A U.S. citizen or lawful resident may petition for a foreign spouse or child to be allowed entry — typically a multi-year process with many financial hurdles. For those displaced Mexican farmers who do not have a very close family member already living in the United States and able to file a petition on their behalf, there is virtually no legal way to immigrate.
RISKING LIVES: People who feel they have no other choice but to enter the U.S. illegally are literally risking their lives to do so. Since NAFTA was enacted, at least 3,000 Mexicans have died trying to cross the border. Some have asphyxiated in shipping containers. Others have drowned. Many more have died of thirst after becoming lost in the desert.
PAYING TAXES: Undocumented immigrants living in the United States pay the same real estate, sales and excise taxes as everyone else. Most also pay income taxes and contribute to Social Security, even though they have little chance of ever collecting Social Security. On average, immigrants pay more per capita in taxes than they receive in government services.
IMPACT ON WAGES: Businesses know that undocumented workers have relatively few options for employment and are less able to "rock the boat." When unscrupulous employers hire undocumented workers in order to take advantage of their marginalized status, this drives down wages for everyone. U.S. Labor Department studies show that following the 1986 amnesty for undocumented immigrants, real wages for those workers increased dramatically, exerting an upward pressure on wages for all.
Expanding Worker Solidarity
Increased immigration can cause economic and social strains in the United States, but blaming immigrants for these problems would be both morally wrong and counterproductive. As one rural Mexican preparing to cross the border in the U.S. recently said, "I would rather risk dying in this desert than endure the shame of watching my children suffer from hunger in their own land."
Finding solutions to the question of undocumented immigration will not be easy, and reasonable people will certainly have differences of opinion, but from a working person's perspective the approach taken on this issue should be based on principles of worker solidarity.
We need to broaden our opposition to free trade agreements from simply preventing the offshoring of American jobs to also defeating trade provisions that hurt farmers and workers in developing countries.
We need to question politicians who urge us to "get tough on immigrants," yet continue to support trade policies that increase forced migration.
We need to demand that everyone working in the United States receives the same workplace protections and has the same right to organize, so that employers can no longer exploit workers just because of their immigrant status.

Two traumatically abducted and interrogated over a meme and threatened
June 30, 2017 · by Muju Naeem
Whether you share my beliefs or not, whether you agree with my convictions and stances or not, whether you like my works or not, or whether you have a good opinion of me or not, consider reading this from start to end. This is not about religion or petty death threats; this is about the actual, realistic dangers all Maldivians face – from the average person to the poor and elite.
Yesterday morning, just before lunch time (in Male'), I received some messages on my Facebook page. Someone who called himself Tarzan WoWo (Leandro) on Facebook was sending me messages incessantly. Before I reproduce those messages, here is a picture of person available on his Facebook profile. Just in case he decides to remove it later.
From this post on Facebook page Resist I was, however, able to get a clear picture of his face.
From this Police tweet from 8th April 2016, we know that his name is Abdulla Naasih. He was 20 years last year. He would now be 21 years of age. He is from Ga. Atoll, Kodey Island, and his home is Dhaarul Garaaru.
We also know from the link in the Police tweet that he is a felon who has been tagged with an electronic "MoniCon" bracelet which is used to monitor the whereabout of some criminals in the country. The tagging can be done by order of the courts.
We also know from this criminal court document that he also had a court hearing against him on 28th November 2016. His name appears on page 4 as the last entry. The case against him was "causing bodily harm to a person." No other details are provided.
He responds to the police tweet by tweeting at them asking for a better picture to be included and then goes on to provide a clearer picture of how he likes himself to be seen as. In the tweet, he says "people will think what you want them to think about me (with that picture). Put this photo instead rather than the current photo (referring to the mugshot).
From his cover image on Facebook, we can tell that he is very proud of the gang that he is affiliated with.
Masodi Gang is now parading around as a Sports Club like many of the gangs in the country. It's an easy cover for all the gangs in the country.
Below are the screenshots of the messages that I got from this guy earlier today; He spoke in Dhivehi while I spoke in English. I have paraphrased translations after every screenshot below. I am only able to bring this story because this radicalized gangster felt the need to gloat and brag about his handy work to someone. And he picked me thinking I have something to do with the meme pages (been getting a lot of that lately).
In the first messages he says;
Tarzan: Not very good huh? All talk frothing at the mouth. Ultimately that video had to be deleted after bragging about how you all want to "fly like a bird and die like a hero". It had my picture in it.
Tarzan: You can make bubbles while you stay abroad (sends a screenshot). Tell the people that run this page.
Note: I was going to say "I am not sure it was deleted by them" but had gotten autocorrected to "I am sure it was deleted by them".
Tarzan: Ask them about the video. Whether it got deleted after reporting or whether they deleted themselves.
Tarzan: (sends two screenshots) Ask these people then.
He then responds to my comment about being someone's tool by saying " Yes. Slaves of Allah. We know that"
Tarzan: Bwahaha. Give my regards to the kids who cried last night. You can only be strong while being overseas.
My comments.
Tarzan: When we get our hands on you, you will be also just like your boys last night.
Tarzan: Yeah. You are the one who knows (everything).
Tarzan: I also don't know. You would like to know very much, wouldn't you?
Tarzan: Hahaha. I am really just a young guy. I will always be on the streets even if I am young or older.
My comment.
Tarzan: Free like a bird.
Tarzan: You don't have balls or anything else.
Tarzan: Drugs my ass. I am not mad like you.
Tarzan: Do you think everyone on the streets is an addict?
Tarzan: I am not mad like you. Where are your balls you can't come to Male'?
Tarzan: I wouldn't be hiding even after doing something.
Tarzan: (If you are so scared) don't do things. Hahaha. Do you think we sell drugs for a living?
Tarzan: We go to jobs and earn our own living.
Tarzan: Your best part is talking while in hiding. Isn't it? Bark like a dog.
Tarzan: Hahaha. You are hiding because you are gay (implying coward).
Tarzan: Afraid of Jail. Afraid of the cops. Afraid of kids on the street.
Tarzan: Who stay high overseas without coming to the Maldives.
Tarzan: Taking LSD and other things.
My comment: Masodi gang can fuck-off.
Tarzan: You can only say all that while being far away. That's all that everyone does.
Tarzan: All you people want is not to go to jail, not to get hurt and still talk. That's how gays are.
Tarzan: why are you talking to an idiot if you think I am?
Tarzan: Even if you live 1000 years, there is no happiness for you when you die. 1000 years is a small time period.
My comment: Yeah you are so great bullying young kids.
Tarzan: You don't know. The two FB profiles I just sent, they are older than me.
My comment: Do you think you get something great when you die? Everybody just rots in the end.
Tarzan: You will see what rot is. I don't mess with kids. That's what you think. You don't even know that they both are 22.
Tarzan: You don't even know the age of your boys. (he really thinks those two guys they abducted was working for me. And that was why he was messaging me. To gloat at how clever he is).
Tarzan: You should see how they pissed themselves after all that talk on FB.
Tarzan: You are still by far more scared than they were. I really hope you live a long life. (sarcasm?)
Tarzan: 100 plus
Tarzan: You could die right at this moment while you are talking.
Tarzan: So don't mess with people like me
Tarzan: Look, it's gonna be better for you too. I'd have to mess with you because you mess with me for nothing.
My comments: Just watch how I mess with you.
Tarzan: If you keep quiet I don't have to mess with you. But don't mess around being far away like a gay.
Tarzan: It's a dirty thing
Tarzan: That is very dirty.
My comment: You and I don't think alike, I don't share the same values as you.
Tarzan: Hahaha. You can't do anything. You can only talk being far away. You can't do anything else.
At this point, I stopped talking to the guy. He would later block me from Facebook as well.
I then messaged the Meme page in question. Raajjethere Adventures of Yaameen Abdul Gayyoom and Friends. I approached them directly about the kidnapping incident, with the screenshots and identities of those Tarzan provided. Sadly, I was unable to retrieve the desired amount of information, as there are still questions that I don't know, but they have answered all the core questions.
Below I am publishing screenshots of the conversation I had with this page. The whole conversation happened in English.
Here I am publishing the screenshots passed to me by Raajjethere Adventures of Yaameen Abdul Gayyoom and Friends about the conversation they had with one of the abducted persons. It was Maisam Moosa Ali that they forced to message the meme page.
The other person they were holding captive was Zakwaan Asim (Zaki). I understand them both to have been freed by their abductors after the video was deleted. Sources who would like to remain anonymous tell me that the abductees were released and left on "good terms", and wanted to "pass it away as a misunderstanding" as none of the parties wish to be further involved. I suspect this, as Tarzan (Abdulla Naasih) did say they were "silenced".
This is the video that was first published by Raajjethere Adventures of Yaameen Abdul Gayyoom and Friends and later removed under duress. I had come across the video when it was first published last week. I noticed that it was the very first-time gangsters were being used in a satirical meme video publicly and noticed the attention it was getting on social media. For whatever reason, instead of simply observing, I decided to download and save the good ones to my Google Drive. Just like everyone else, I knew these rash toying around will not end well, even if they were just memes. But I never expected to be re-uploading it onto my Youtube channel and posting it on a blog post about an abduction, or what possibly may have been one.
At this point, I needed to know more about this Abdulla Naasih aka Tarzan WoWo. So I looked searched for him on Twitter and found his Twitter account.
On Twitter, he describes himself as, "Slave of Allah" as you can see from the image below; Also notice the hand gesture next to the Slave of Allah description. It's the finger symbol of Tawhid. It's very common for Islamist militants and ISIS members to be photographed with their index finger pointing upwards.
Below are some of his Islamist tweets;
In the Tweet below, he says: "Why are you not jailing people who say things against the religion? Why are they not being punished?"
It was interesting to note that he had commentary regarding Yameen's murder as well. In the Tweet below he says: "It is a bigger danger to not punish those who mock the religion"
The quoted tweet says: "People giving encouragement to those who killed Yameen in the name of religion is a national security risk"
In this tweet, he says: "Islam does not come after people asking them to learn it. People have to go after the religion to learn it if they want to".
In this tweet, he says: "You won't know what Islam is by watching TV. Or doing your O'level. Or A' levels. Don't open your mouth if you don't know the religion. Only those who seek will know the religion".
In this tweet, he says: "Do you not know why it can't be stopped? This is the end times. Bloodshed will increase. Not even @PoliceMv or even if the whole world tried to stop it. @Lucasjalyl"
If this does not sound suspicious, it's ridiculous. It also clearly and outrightly supports murder and bloodshed – and this is conveniently coming from a known convict who has "caused bodily harm" to someone, as we know from the police records.
The quoted tweet says: "Why are people being killed? Why can't it be stopped? How many families has to face this sorrow? Stand up for justice"
The image in the quoted tweet shows both the mothers of Yameen Rasheed and Ahmed RIlwan.
In the tweet below, he posts an image that has screenshots of Yameen Rasheed's tweets and some writings from his blog.
The Dhivehi language comment in the image says "People who know him (Yameen) knows this. Below are two tweets of blasphemy"
With this image, he tweets: "We should not pray for a person like this. When will the Maldivians realize this"
The day after Yameen's murder he was "inconvenienced" that their gang area was being monitored by the Police – He tweets: "Whenever something happens in Male', Police knows to put checkposts only near Masodi ge. Stop being personal and work for the nation" (Note: the gang Masodi is named after the house Masodi ge)
In this next tweet he says "Whenever something happens in Male', do the police only see 'Masodi'? (referring to his gang) Arrest them wherever you see them?"
Two weeks before Yameen's murder this ominous tweet appeared;
At this point, all Maldivians should be very concerned. All these gangs are normalized in the country as sports clubs. Their members are radicalized and operates systematically; they have infiltrated the judiciary and society and they are openly abducting people and even killing people to achieve dominance. The police doesn't care, doesn't do anything, and/or maybe directly involved. The people are left to fend for themselves.
At this point, when people are being abducted and interrogated for things as little as joking around, and cannot safely rely on the authorities, do people not need to band up and seize their own basic safety and wellbeing?
NOTE: At the time of this post, the meme page Raajjethere Adventures of Yaameen Abdul Gayyoom and Friends was offline. It wasn't offline when I talked to them. I am unable to verify what had happened to the page.
FURTHER EDITORIAL NOTE: The "jobs" that all these gangsters are referring to, is working at the Maldives Ports Limited. If anyone looks close enough, you will all realize how many gangs related persons are being employed by the Ports Authority where they are effectively around cargo clearing. It enables drugs, illegal weapons and other contraband to enter the country without being checked. Don't believe me? Go look for yourself.
UPDATE: This post was unpublished 48 hours after publishing it first on 6th June because of sustained threats by the members of Masodi gang and their sympathizers. I am republishing this now again, after securing my safety.

You know Maldivians are concerned, because of people like you. Who try and twist people to your ideology with whatever you can use, its the same as making propaganda. Im happy you are not in Maldives. Please stop harassing and continuously attacking our beautiful religion. If u have a problem with it keep it to yourself and stay out. we dont go continously bashing on how foolish your belief and logic is when everything is so clear.

how wonderful for you to twist this saying IT IS A COMMON ISLAMIST MILITANT SIGN – We use it every day too, every muslim does.. BECAUSE ITS AN ISLAMIC GESTURE.
THE ONLY TERRORIST IS YOU TERRORIZING MALDIVIANS WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA REGIME! TWISTING AND BENDING EVERYTHING TO LABEL ISLAM AS MILITARY FORCE. TO YOU THE WAY A MUSLIM LIFTS TO EAT HIS BREAD OR WASH HIS FACE MAY EVEN BE AN ACT OF A TERRORIST, oh wait.. sign of an ISLAMIST MILITANT.

Um.. no.. not every muslim does.. and the only time i have seen some one do it- is from a terrorist. IT IS NOT A KNOWN ISLAMIC GESTURE. Pose facts from Hadith or Quran if you are sure it is. whatever Muju said, in his freedom is his to repent for or keep. if you were a friend, maybe you could advice him against it like islam dictates to do but we know thats not so. So in short, it is none of ur biz.
Masodige and its Jareemas arent new to any maldivian. everyone knows the drugs/ gangs/ killings/ etc etc. impaling your own kind (humam) for money and whatever else. this post wasnt about religion. but rather death threats, abductions, fighting, bllodshed and all in the name of religion? thats sick shit man. and we call our religion the most peaceful.
Tel you what. go to palestine- with the fishodi peeps.do a good jihad against the israel if by then you havent YET pissed in your pants. I will and the wold will pray for you. You can die feeling a 100% sure you will go Jannath.
the thing that these gangsters turned bloody mullahs or mullahs turned gansters do in the name of islam, they arent even sure what they are doing

All seems well under the lengthening day but that long-awaited opportunity quickly fades as the clouds above cast their shadow upon on the world below. Lightning strikes and thunder echoes in the distance… "Is my day over?" A landscaper asks on a phone call with WeatherWorks. "No." says the meteorologist, "Just a passing front for 30 - 45 min; the rest of the day will be dry."
It's amazing how much the outcome of a day is weighted so heavily on Mother Nature's itinerary. What may initially present itself as a beautiful day may actually be the disguise of afternoon turmoil. Risks like this are what we at WeatherWorks focus on most as we head into the warm season. From outdoor concerts and sporting events to landscaping and paving, we have been there for over 32 years helping to make those final calls when it matters most. So what is it about WeatherWorks that sets the bar above the competition? Obviously anyone can look at their smart phone and pull up the radar. But to us, weather is more than what's on the computer screen; it's a lifestyle.
Our meteorologists are dedicated around the clock, monitoring changing conditions and keeping an open line of communication with our clients. We spend our down-time educating our staff through an extensive training program. Not only learning new material, but also reviewing years of case studies and pattern recognition to ensure that we are prepared when crucial decisions are to be made.
WeatherWorks CEO Frank Lombardo briefs the staff on some important training material.
From severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to coastal flooding and high winds, we do it all. Each client is unique in their own way and has valid concerns in every situation, which becomes our primary focus. Marine terminals, theme parks, professional sports teams, stadiums, facilities, landscapers, public works departments, colleges, and schools districts are just a sample of client types that rely on WeatherWorks so that they can safely execute their day while achieving an efficient and cost effective operation.
We are there before lightning threatens a pool, concert, or an afternoon softball game. We are there bright an early on a Monday morning when an itinerary must be made for the week in order to combat any weather-related interruptions. Our goal is to find our clients the best and safest windows to work and to know when to call the day a "wash". This is just a part of what sets WeatherWorks above the rest; our dedication, experience, and high level of care for client satisfaction.

Over the past six years, Angie Nussey has managed to successfully make the leap from 'up and coming artist' to 'accomplished leader' in Canada's music scene.
Raised in the small, northern, town of Lively, Ontario, Angie began songwriting at the age of 7. Continuing this personal pursuit through adolescence, she carries with her years of private experience as an artist with the delicate and captivating quality of humility. Having written and composed over 100 songs before her first public performance, she intended to work towards a career in medicine. However, one year of University, a summer of tree-planting, and a near death experience that resulted in heart surgery concluded with Angie shedding all illusions about becoming anything other than a professional artist. The result is a career that has garnered her acclaim as having the ability to express inward feelings and emotion, powerfully tell a story, and poetically convey the feelings of heartbreak in a style that is often both comedic and confessional.
Her first album, "Circumstantial Overload" (2001), is a personal look at a young woman still floundering in that early twenties stage; a mix of experiences as a small town girl moves away from home. Some of the songs are about her experiences working in a group home; others are about falling in love and making tough decisions.
"Circumstantial Overload" garnered impressive sales, and much acclaim that resulted in national radio play, television spots and web-based success.
Releasing "Paint and Turpentine" in late 2004 under her own label, Dragonfly Distribution, Angie has continued on the path of self discovery and innocence. The album has been described as: "a layered, textured, wonderfully endearing, frank album that conveys all its ideas and meanings without resorting to clichés." The artistic and sales success of "Paint and Turpentine" has catapulted Angie into the recognized songwriter that she has now become.
With the success of her past recordings, it is no surprise that Angie has been recognized by the independent music industry for her diversity, honesty and originality. Some of her past awards include: Best Female Performer and Best Songwriter at the "Toronto Independent Music Awards", and Best Song in the humour category for the "Songs from the Heart" contest put on by the OCFF. She has also been nominated for the awards of Best Songwriter at "Songwriterfest" in Kitchener Waterloo, and Best Songwriter and Best Vocals in a Song at the "Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards."
Currently residing in Orangeville, Ontario, Angie is busy working on her next full-length album entitled Little Tragedies. She also plans on releasing a live album dedicated entirely to her Silly Songs. In the meantime, she performs over 250 live shows a year; she can be seen in a variety of venues including festivals, bars, coffee shops, and concert halls.

Sexual harassment affects business too, says Microsoft VP
By Alice Cuddy • last updated: 23/01/2018
REUTERS/Mike Blake
Microsoft's top dealmaker has opened up about her experiences of sexual harassment in the tech industry, warning that the issue has a "business impact."
Peggy Johnson, executive vice president of business development at the tech giant, was speaking on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on "Gender, Power and Stemming Sexual Harassment" on Tuesday.
"When the #MeToo campaign first came out, I remember talking to a group of my friends and they said 'well it should have been #WhoHasn't', because literally everybody has a story," she said.
Johnson recalled female staff in former workplaces avoiding men's offices "who might say something inappropriate about your dress," and "the customer who you wanted to end that dinner [with] and say 'I've got to go' because you didn't want to be propositioned."
She lamented the time women in her industry had wasted avoiding sexual confrontations with male colleagues and seniors, which they could have spent furthering their own careers.
"Not only should we be changing this because it's the right thing to do, there's a business impact to this and that just angers me when I look back at it now."
Johnson said that as her status has risen, she has faced less sexism in the office, and has also learned to react to it differently.
"I have a daughter who just entered the tech industry and she told me the other day, 'Mum when I'm at work and I hear inappropriate jokes, I don't laugh,' and I thought to myself first I always laughed, I thought I had to," she said.
"I don't anymore because I'm in that position of power."
Microsoft hit headlines last year when it eliminated forced arbitration agreements that required employees to resolve sexual harassment cases outside of the courtroom, and away from the public eye.
It is also backing a proposed US federal law that would ban such agreements and has urged other companies to do the same.
"If anything, the #MeToo movement taught us that we're silencing voices. We need to hear these voices," Johnson said.

Bad breath, known as halitosis in professional circles, can cause embarrassment for the carrier and discomfort for others. If you have bad breath, you probably don't want to talk about it, and if you know someone who has it, you don't want to bring it up. Many people suffer from bad breath without even knowing it. Those who suspect they have halitosis try temporary cover ups, like breath mints or alcohol-based mouthwashes that dry out the mouth and increase susceptibility to bad breath. Some people just don't know what to do, so they do nothing.
The primary cause of halitosis is decay of oral bacteria, human cells, and food debris, a continual process that creates odorous molecules called volatile sulfur compounds. Brushing and flossing can help a little, as can regular dental cleanings and repairing decayed areas. These efforts may not completely solve the problem.
The revolutionary CloSYSII system is four-part program that can permanently eliminate bad breath. The product's active ingredient is a proprietary formulation of chlorine dioxide and phosphate, which not only neutralizes and eliminates those smelly volatile sulfur compounds on contact, but it also prevents their return for up to five hours.
CloSYSII manufacturers recommend taking six steps to kissable breath. First, use a plastic tongue scraper to remove all the coating from tongue. The starter kit includes a tongue scraper, or you can purchase them at the drugstore. Scrape the entire tongue, including the extreme back portion. Next, use a Q-tip to place a tiny dab of CloSYSII toothpaste between your teeth and below the gum lines. Floss over this gently. Then, with your CloSYSII toothpaste and warm water, brush your teeth, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, and the sides of your cheeks. Remember, bacteria isn't picky about where it hides.
Next, rinse twice: first with water, then with CloSYSII mouthwash for 30 seconds, forcing the liquid between your teeth. Finally, use a fresh mouthful to gargle for 60 seconds. Do not rinse again with water. This will stop the odorous sulfur compounds for up to 5 hours. Tuck the CloSYSII breath spray in your pocket so you can freshen as needed throughout the day. Most people experience dramatic results in just a few days of treatment.


First and foremost, I'd like to say how amazing it is that we are able to have this discussion about Pluto/Charon. Thanks to NASA and all the scientists from every discipline for their contributions to the process of discovery and knowledge. I have nothing but respect for NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the marvelous team that got us to Pluto/Charon and the scientists who are trying to interpret their geological history.
This is the mainstream science mind set.
Before we had been to Pluto/Charon, scientists were pre-speculating about a diverse system of which we knew very little. Some of that speculation was around Plate Tectonics. Stated another way, before we knew much about Pluto/Charon we decided what we would find when we arrived, then when we saw the system up close, we needed to support these presuppositions, consequently, we continue to make the observations fit our preconceived notions. Its fine to speculate about what we will find before we find it but when that becomes a view which doesn't fit the evidence then we need to adjust.
I too, initially postulated a theory. When I first studied Pluto, my preconceived notion was that tidal forces between Pluto and Charon were creating the heat at Sputnik Planitia. I adjusted that idea because of their near perfectly circular tidally locked orbit. I adjusted my opinion to align with the evidence I didn't try to make the evidence fit my preconceived ideas.
Its been over a year since I wrote the above paragraphs and I now understand that at some point in their past Pluto/Charon danced around each other in an eccentric or elliptical orbit.
This would have created tidal flex energy which if it occurred within the last billion years could have initiated the activity at SP and create some form of an interior rocky core which may still be slightly warm from that recent dance.
Additionally Pluto's axis wobbles 24 degrees over a 2.4 Myr period. When Pluto twists and torques, it's gravity also torques Charon's axis to keep their poles aligned.
This gravitational torque also induces internal flexing heat (not a lot but nitrogen doesn't need a lot of heat to become a molten magma. Nitrogen can reach it's triple point at 66 degrees Kelvin depending on pressure.
NASA has a favored Rocky Core Model, which I will refute as I feel its a theoretical description looking for evidence (which I don't see) rather than evidence providing a description of the events.
One scientist on Zooniverse explained the rocky core concept, to me, like this, "the density of Pluto is 1.86 g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimeter) meaning part of Pluto is rock, we don't see rock on the surface so we conclude there is a rocky core."
Seems pretty straight forward and simple and I don't have so much a problem with there being some form of rock and ice separation. The big question is how much separation i.e.. how large is this differentiated core of rock, is there total or partial differentiation and how old and big is it?
According to Bill McKinnon at most, 67% of Pluto is rock by mass but only 40% by volume. The differentiated rocky core concept is built off a presumed 4 byr old collision event model developed by Robin Canup that was theorized 10 years before we got to Pluto, a theory that when analyzed, doesn't support a fully differentiated core rather at most 40% of the 40% rock material by volume would have separated out of ice during this theoretical collision but this model is used as evidence of a fully separated rocky core which is also theoretically purported by Bill McKinnon to be radioactively hot after 4 billion years (Ga). An ice ball with a core radius of only 850 km at 35° K is supposed to still be hot after 4 Ga. According to NASA's New Horizons' scientist Francis Nimmo, the minimum radius of which a core could still be radioactively hot is 1,000 km.
However, when we take the best case scenario where the rocky core is 850 km and apply Robin Canup's collision model with its theoretical heat induced impact energy separating out only 40% of the rocky material we instead end up with a 370 km core. Yet this tiny ball of rock is supposed to be radioactively hot after 4 Ga. I cover this in detail in later pages. suffice it to say the collision model only supports a core diameter of 370 km which according to NASA scientist Francis Nimmo is too small to be radioactively hot. Yet he and other's claim there is a hot core. I'm confused by this.
Here's the problem for me.
Scientists create a theoretical collision model of two uniform (not differentiated) bodies slowly impacting at a slight glancing angle then they distort the outcome of the model to suggest Pluto became fully differentiated during this event. They repeat their distorted interpretation until it is accepted as standard basic truth then they ignore their own facts about the minimum core radius requirements suggesting there's a currently radioactively hot core then they use this to conclude there is a subsurface ocean then they use that to conclude SP is a positive gravity anomaly while the basis of their suggested interpretations has no substance.
I'll show you how this process takes place with their proposed concept of Plate Tectonics on Charon.
I will attempt to provide a fair representation of the NASA Plate Tectonic theory as it relates to Charon but I don't agree with it at all so I will also explain why.
Here's one quote that was presented prior to our arrival at Pluto.
In July 2015, we get our first close look at the dwarf planet Pluto and its moon Charon, a fact that has scientists hypothesizing more than ever about what we might see there.
Here's another quote presented after we arrived at Charon, this is from NASA's web site.
The team has also discovered that the plains south of the canyon, informally referred to as Vulcan Planum, have fewer large craters than the regions to the north, indicating that they are noticeably younger. The smoothness of the plains, as well as their grooves and faint ridges, are clear signs of wide-scale resurfacing.
Here's how it works, we speculate about what we'll find before we get to Pluto then to demonstrate how knowledgeable we are, we push the speculation onto the scene rather than looking at it for what it is, putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. NASA compares a crack on Charon to Valles Marineris on Mars after all we knew we'd find tectonism.
This is Valles Marineris on Mars. Notice how the land bordering the valley is level and even in height from one side to the other?
This indicates the land actually pulled apart or collapsed creating a valley in between, hence, the word Valles for Valley.
This is one flat surface with a rift or valley separating the two sides.
This on the other hand is an image of Mars where obvious ocean erosion has taken place.
The land is flat on the right side but slopes down on the left with cracked fragments falling down onto the lower terrain.
Nobody is arguing that this is not ocean erosion.
This is ocean erosion not a rift adrift.
Here's the grand canyon in Arizona. It is very similar to Valles Marineris on Mars.
They are both opened cracks in an otherwise flat terrain.
Below is the image referenced by the NASA quote above when it refers to canyons and Valles Marineris on Mars. This site looks nothing like Valles Marineris. You'd have to squint and completely ignore all the surroundings to even remotely consider this a rift or valley.
This scene of ocean erosion on Charon is referred to as plate tectonics. The words we use to describe a thing can strongly influence how we see the thing.
One person can look at this image and see a rift like Valles Marineris on Mars or the African rift valley or even the grand canyon. Whereas another person (me) steps back to see the entire ocean of fluid that is eroding these mammoth iceberg sized blocks from off the cliff face of land ice.
If this exposed section were drifting apart on a plate, it would not look like it fell into a freezing ocean of fluid. Here's an obvious question for the rifters out there (I'm a clifter). Why don't we see this process occurring anywhere else on Charon? It only occurs at the place where warm fluid interacted with the solid land ice, that's what I call ocean erosion.
The fluid would have been much warmer, relatively speaking, than the land ice that it eroded which would have under cut the face of the land wall cliff, When the cliff face finally broke away it pivoted over and fell into the ocean which was cooling. The under cut section fell forward into the cooling ocean drifted with the flow and then finally froze in place just like an iceberg.
Look at Charon and ask yourself, is this plate tectonics or ocean erosion?
It was pointed out to me that there are cracks in the lower portion of the southern hemisphere, which to some indicate tectonic activity. Many of the cracks run through or terminate at impact sites. In other words, the frozen ocean fractured to relieve stress at points where objects impact the surface.
This isn't subsurface tectonics this is surface fracturing due to hypersurface impacts as well as ice expanding when it freezes. Some see these cracks as tectonics I see them as ice cracking to relieve stress.
The theory is that Charon split apart around the equator and fluid ran out covering the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere along its edge of contact with the south has a rise in elevation between 4 and 7 miles high. How would the entire northern hemisphere rise 6 miles above the southern hemisphere if the fluid spilled onto and covered the southern mantle?
If fluid spilled out of a rift or rip and spilled on top of the south (as is suggested) its smooth surface would be elevated above the northern hemisphere not below it. It would have acted similar to a mud volcano which would be elevated smoothly above the terrain with the mouth being the highest elevation instead the southern hemisphere looks more like it was blasted off Charon with it's 4-7 mile drop in elevation.
Ocean erosion is a process of water undercutting the land via erosion.
Here is a scene of ocean erosion.
Charon's gravity is only 2.8% of Earth's and Charon's crustal ice shell at 4 to 6 miles thick would stand up to massive undercuts from the ocean erosion process before it collapsed.
On earth we call this erosion but on Charon because of low gravity and rock hard strong water ice creating much larger versions of this process we call it tectonic activity. On Charon, the process in this image becomes plates sliding apart.
But, one simply needs to look at it to see how obvious it is that what took place on Charon was ocean erosion not a rift or land masses pulling apart.
So we agree that the southern hemisphere is much younger than the north and this was a wide scale resurfacing process which I call an ocean. For it to resurface, Charon's southern hemisphere had to flow as a fluid or even as a liquid meaning it was a much warmer fluid than the 4-7 mile higher land ice in the north. This temperature difference would have acted to undercut the northern land ice cliff face. Isn't it obvious this is erosion not tectonics?
Take note in the picture below how there is a much smaller version of the land ice having been undercut eroded with cliff face collapse by the warmer ocean water. This much smaller version of the same type effect can't possibly be confused as tectonics.
Here's that small eroded cliff face zoomed in.
This is clearly a collapsed undercut cliff face this is not tectonics (a rift adrift) and it looks very much like the larger fallen cliff face.
Here's one scenario NASA suggest could have taken place.
My difficulty with this scenario is this, Charon theoretically froze, cracked open then water lava flowed. That just doesn't make sense. Look at the scale of this event.
Charon is 30-35 Kelvin. Water couldn't have flowed out of a single crack and stayed warm long enough to cover the whole southern hemisphere before freezing.
Just as lava spills out forming ripples, water based lava would do the same thing if it came from one source.
Obviously Charon's southern hemisphere resurfaced but not through one crack.
The whole southern hemisphere was catastrophically disrupted in a single event which caused water to flow out from everywhere at the same time.
And there's this simple fact. If a crack opened spilling out fluid on the south it would look similar to a mud volcano, elevated above the surrounding terrain. The southern hemisphere is 4-6 miles collapsed below the height of the north. Massive amounts of crust have gone missing from the south as if blown off leaving behind the underbelly of fluid lava water.
Below are the 2 mile high iceberg mountains called Norgay Montes getting mashed into a muddy soft land ice section called Wright Mons. The Wright Mons area has no evidence of impacts indicating the land is soft young and frequently renewed.
This is one location that could possibly be interpreted as "plate tectonics" This is the southern edge of Sputnik Planitia (Page 3) where the land ice looks almost like a volcano. Volcanoes imply liquid eruptions often caused by two plates sliding past each other.
The difference here is that you can see obvious icebergs ramming into the land ice at this very spot folding this soft surface like clumps of muddy dough.
While this may be evidence of two sets of objects with various mass interacting with each other, it just doesn't have that belching hot flowing fluid look to it. These icebergs are acting like a bulldozer slowly pushing into a berm of mud. Update: on page 11, I have concluded these are not volcanoes.
The images below are just to the west of Wright Mons and may be the result of the Norgay Montes iceberg mountains pushing into the land ice. In any case this is the one area that truly looks like tectonic activity is taking place as compression or fold mountains are being formed.
On Charon words like tectonics and valleys are used to describe an erosion process while on Pluto the fold mountains are completely ignored in a paper that states "there is no evidence for recent compressional tectonic features". Wright & Piccard Mons are called cryovolcanoes while actual cryovolcanoes go unreported. Sputnik Planitia is referred to as an impact site while cartoon drawings falsely indicate there is an ejecta blanket. These two pages explain why I say Wright Mons isn't a cryovolcano and SP is not an impact site.
A Quote by Robert Smith - retired Minnesota Vikings running back.
Science doesn't start with a conclusion and then try to fit the facts. Science takes the facts and tries to work toward a conclusion.
Scientists are human and just like anyone, are susceptible to prejudices that slant their view in a particular direction.
When we approach a problem knowing or thinking we know the answer before we see the evidence we produce the answer to the question we decided to ask not necessarily the answer to the question presented by the evidence.
Here's an interview with Richard Feynman, (awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965) one of my favorite scientists'.
If you forward to 14 min 35 sec under the section of magnetism you will see an interesting discourse between the interviewer and Richard.
The interviewer asks a question which launches Richard into a series of questions about the question for 5 minutes.
The more we think we know, the less we question.
The less we question, the more we assume.
The more we assume, the less we understand.
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.
Just stumbled onto this Stephen Hawking image, seemed appropriate to place it here.
I've made plenty of errant conclusions about the processes taking place in the Pluto system but continue to revisit and study the information and question everything and re-evaluate what stands up to scrutiny versus what doesn't.
I regularly change and adapt my view as the evidence suggests I should.
I dialog with smart people that disagree with me so I can hear a different perspective and sometimes that opens my eyes to thoughts I would not have considered.
On page 68 I had to admit one of my biggest mistakes which was a bit hard to swallow.
As a result of that blunder, I decided to re-read and re-write this entire web site but now I think I was correct in the first place so I've flopped on this issue and I'm back to my original conclusion.
Sometimes scientists (like any human being) draw quick conclusion without really scrutinizing the scene then once committed to a statement it becomes an issue of pride or reputation preservation to prove their position correct.
These incredibly talented and brilliant scientists that took us to Pluto make mistakes just like the rest of us. I'm not judging, simply making an observation, we all make mistakes even really smart people. My initial desire to understand Pluto was prompted by a passion to simply learn about the source of its heat but in the process, I've found I have to unlearn and scrutinize whats being purported to be science fact.
Here's a repeated process taking place in this media induced science frenzy.
First, science speculation is presented in papers or lectures as potential possibilities.
Then journalists report the speculation (each desiring to be the first regurgitist of the new speculation).
Then news and magazines repeat the regurgitation's turning the speculation into conclusive facts.
Then scientists speak of and repeat the speculation as though its fact.
Then models are created to prove a formula can be written in support of the speculation which in turn becomes conclusive evidence.
Then science cartoons are drawn with false information purporting to be science fact.
Then by virtue of repetition the world accepts speculative potential possibilities as fact.
Then statements like Kelsi Singer's are distributed indicating, "Its been long known that Pluto and Charon collided"
I'm calling this process, "Media Science" as it appears to be grounded more in sensationalism than asking real questions about actual observations. Instead it seems to be more directed at media hype.

I work for a trade magazine that focuses on what's happening in grocery stores with generics and how retailers can attract more or new consumers to their generic brands. My article is specifically on how retailers can attract Asian Americans. I have already reached out to the typical Market Research firms (Nielsen, Hartman Group, MarketResearch.com, Mintel, etc.) so I thought your site might be able to hook me up with someone new!
Fox News Channel I'm hoping to conduct an on-camera interview today, or tomorrow morning, if today isn't possible, with someone who is very familiar with the concept of multiculturalism. I will be using a soundbite or two from that interview for a report on multiculturalism in the United States compared with Europe. I will only need about 5 minutes of the person's time.
--What is the definition of multiculturalism?
--Why do European leaders (in France, Germany and England) mean when they say it isn't working in their countries?
--What are we doing differently in the United States, and is it working?
--Is there any reason we should do things differently in light of what's happening in Egypt and Libya etc?
I am specifically looking for someone who can talk about multiculturalism from a global perspective, in light of what the Euopeans leaders said about it not working in their countries.

Colin Salmon found himself in the dance-off for the second week in a row and became the fourth celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2012. Colin and his partner Kristina Rihanoff lost the dance-off with Richard Arnold and Erin Boag. The judges voted 4-0 to keep Richard Arnold in the competition with Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli voting to keep Richard. Len Goodman said he would have saved Richard. So it was "final dance" time for Colin and Kristina.
It was a miracle escape for Richard Arnold who was 10 points behind Colin Salmon on the judges' scoring of the first dances, having forgotten part of the routine. In the dance-off he raised his game and delivered a much better performance. Richard will really have to work much harder if he is to stand any chance of getting to Wembley in two week's time. He has survived two dance-offs now, so a third would be pushing his luck.
Victoria Pendleton was in the bottom two after the judges' scores this week but the public vote moved her to safety. Victoria is another celebrity who will have to work harder on her technique if she is going to go further in the competition. She was very brave to open her dance standing on the judges' desk and she looked great; if she has the confidence to do this then surely she can do anything!
For me Louis Smith is the clear favourite despite a weaker performance this week. Denise Van Outen is also very strong and the other three all have a shot at the Glitterball trophy. These are the five celebrities I expect to make the semi-finals. There will have to be some significant improvements elsewhere for this to change.
The Wanted featured on the results show and for once the director got his act together and focused on the singers, rather than showing the professional dancers in a distracting routine. Normally the cameras gets confused as they struggle to decide whether to show the singers or the dancers. Flooding the dance-floor with dancers doing their own thing worked very well. Hope they remember this in future weeks.
Also on the show was Andrea Bocelli who performed an enjoyable version of Nessun Dorma.
Next week we will be without Sir Bruce Forsyth as he is taking a break before the Wembley show in two weeks time, so Tess Daly will be presenting the Saturday night show with Claudia Winkleman. Tess has taken to wearing some bolder outfits recently and there was much comment about her "red number" on twitter and forums during the Saturday night show. Fans were divided on whether the belt suited her! Let us know what you think.
For full detail on the judges scores see Strictly Come Dancing Results.


Do you have any knowledge of Bagshot families?
This is one several pages provided as a vehicle for posting questions related to Bagshot people and families that other readers might be able to answer. The index to these is here. Please scroll down to the message pad to ask a question or provide an answer.
If you are seeking genealogical information about your ancestors then look at the page entitled "Tracing Your Family Tree" where I tell you where the old church records are archived, and offer some further suggestions and information sources to help your search. I am not able to provide any information from such old records or to conduct research on your behalf.
I have another page for general questions about Bagshot.
From Carolyn: I would like to ask if anyone has any information about the Floersheim family who I believe owned Penny Hill Park after Louis Schott did (and may in fact have been relatives). Louis Floersheim was a naturalised German merchant banker and I believe he owned the estate for some time in the late 1800s.
One of his sons, Cecil Floersheim, wrote a book of poetry and in this is a poem entitled "The Dogs' Grave at Bagshot" implying that there might have been a pets graveyard on the estate at one time and that that the family spent some time there, although from the census and other records their main residence appears to be in London. I am interested in the family as an ancestor of mine married Cecil Floersheim. [Feb12] Please use the message pad below to reply.
I come from two old Bagshot families, Berry and Gosden. It was suggested the Gosden's originated in West End, Bisley or Windsor. My grandfather had four sisters, one, Kate Gosden (married name Parker) lived in Vicarage Road, Bagshot, possibly died in late 60s or early 70s, and may have had a daughter Joy.
If you know anything of these families, or are an old friend and would like to make contact then please use the message pad below.
I am researching my grand father Thomas Huddle, born in 1873. He appears on the 1881 Census as a resident of The Royal Albert Orphan School aged 8 years.
I understand that he joined the Gordon Highlanders as a boy soldier and I have a photograph of him in the Regiment's uniform aged probably around 15 years. The photograph was taken at a Guildford studio. He was in the band and after 11 years transferred to the Coldstream Guards band where he served for a further 21 years.
I believe he had a sister, a little older than him, who I only know as Aunt Kitt. ?
I have forwarded Peter's questions about school records to the Old Boy's Association, but can you help Peter? If you can add anything to this, or any other enquiry, please reply using the message pad below.
I have been tracing my ancestors for a couple of years now. They arrived in Windlesham in the early 1800s and stayed there until the 1970s. The main name that I have been tracing is Gatfield. Family rumours have it that my great grandparents John Gatfield and Elizabeth Soan met while they were working at Bagshot Park.
I have many lines still to follow, what happened to Theresa Gatfield who was a domestic servant in the 1881 census? Emily Gatfield and William Hawthorne who married shortly after the 1881 census? Walter Gatfield? Edith Gatfield? I have quite a bit of information which I would be delighted to share with "distant" cousins. Other names include Rackley, Dare and Soan.
Apparently my great Grandfather also worked for Fromows and I was wondering whether any photos existed of that time. I have the book "Nurserymen to the World" and saw that there were quite a few staff photos of Waterer's, do any still exist of the Fromows staff.
Any help or connections would be greatly appreciated. I live in Spain so most of my research has been done over the Internet. Thanks and congratulations for a brilliant village web-site.
From a lady in New Zealand wrote : My Grandad was a Gatfield and apparently he was spanish! I would like to know more!
