CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
August 18, 2022 January 28, 2022 valmanwillLeave a comment
I ushered the four pre-rock stars across the narrow road toward the truck. The buildings on either side of us darkened the road, peppered with a thousand windows and a thousand eyes ready to stop us. But the truck had gone through the portal. It had somehow! That key information in my back pocket piqued my confidence.
"Won't someone tell me what the bloody hell is going on?" Ringo hissed from behind us.
"I'll explain everything once we're safe," I whispered. "We just have to get out of here in this truck."
"What? All five of us crammed into the cab at once?" George asked.
"No, you guys will be hidden in the back," I said, bouncing on my feet. "C'mon, let's go!"
The Beatles exchanged worried looks between themselves.
"You've done it before," I reassured them.
"What does she mean by that?" Paul whispered harshly to John.
"Just trust her," John said, turning Paul around by his shoulders. "We don't have much time."
The driver unloaded the last box and then left his truck unattended as he spoke to the plump shop owner accepting the delivery. He took off his cap and wiped his brow.
I gave the signal and we snuck around the side keeping an eye on the driver. John held the doors of the meat truck open and turned to the other boys.
"Alright. In you go, then."
"Now, hold on just a minute!" Paul grabbed John by the elbow. "I've followed you this far, but this all seems very wrong to me. Stealing a working man's truck like this, it's no good."
Down the street The Cavern doors burst open with a loud crash and Thorne hobbled out holding his gun.
"After you, George." Paul gestured to the open truck.
"Much obliged," George said, piling into the back.
Ringo stepped in, still as confused as ever of having casually breezed into a perilous getaway. John tried to follow them, but I yanked him by his shirt collar.
"Wait, not you," I said. "I need someone to drive the truck."
His eyes widened. "I've never properly learnt to drive, Em. You'll have to do it."
"I've never driven a car in my whole life!"
We stared at each other in shock for a minute or two, until my IND buzzed sharply.
I grabbed him and ran to the right side of the truck where there was no steering wheel. I opened the door and not so politely shoved John all the way over to the driver seat. In the rear-view mirror, I watched Thorne pull a helpless motorist out of their car and get in.
"Start the car! Go!" I said shutting the door behind myself.
John whimpered to himself, started the car and hit the gas.
We rolled down the street at the same pace as a bicycle. Maybe slower.
"John! Drive! Get out of here!" I yelled.
"I'm trying! I'm trying! I'm trying!"
The car made a series of crunching sounds as John slammed repeatedly on the gas, still we went no faster than fifteen miles per hour. Thorne was closing in on us.
"Let out the clutch mate!" Paul yelled from the back.
John pumped the clutch and shifted gears. The truck pitched forward with the forced momentum. A collective loud bang came from inside the truck as three young bodies slammed against the wall.
"Oy!" Ringo yelled, followed by a string of expletives that I couldn't hear over the roar of the accelerated truck.
John now had more of the speed but navigating the narrow Liverpool streets wasn't an easy task. Thorne caught up quick and bumped into the back of the truck. More expletives sounded from the boys.
A police officer was directing traffic ahead at a roundabout. He whistled for us to stop. John didn't stop. He whistled harsher. John didn't slow down.
"Clutch mate!" Paul yelled again.
John took a deep breath closed his eyes and blew into the roundabout. The cop dove out of the way, with screaming staccato whistles as he went. A car honked and veered as Lennon cranked the wheel and fishtailed into a lane.
Thorne followed after, nearly knocking over the same policeman who had barely gotten back onto his feet. He swerved sharply around an elderly couple in a Buick and got on our tail.
"Go to the dock!" I cried. "The portal is across the river at New Brighton!"
"Cars don't swim yet, Em," he said. "We'll have to go to the Birkenhead tunnel."
John made another turn past the irate policeman, starting a second lap around the roundabout.
"There! To Birkenhead!" I cried, pointing to the exit sign as it sailed past. "You missed it!"
John growled as we made yet again another turn on the roundabout. Thorne was still hot on our trail trying to get around the side of the car. The policeman ran for the blue telephone booth across the way.
"Right… There!"
John pulled the steering wheel, starting to exit one turn too soon.
"Not that one! The next one!"
"Grr! Em!" John wrenched the steering wheel around and flew over the sidewalk into the next exit. More thuds, bumps and expletives sounded from the boys in the back. Thorne got off on the too-early exit and slammed his breaks so hard they screamed.
We swung around and dashed for the Birkenhead tunnel. Right into the log jam of motorists in line to pay their dues at the toll bridge. John slammed on the breaks which choked and stalled the engine stopping us just before we crashed into the car in front of us. Thorne's breaks squealed as he came to a sudden stop somewhere in line behind us.
"Oh, come onnnn," I urged the other cars under my breath as Thorne opened his door.
John started the engine, ducked around the line of cars and pulled up to the window of the only lane that was closed. The toll operator leaned out the window with a frown under his bushy mustache.
Thorne leapt back into his car to follow us. When the other motorists saw our truck in the other lane, they too tried to jump behind us, nearly knocking into an erratic Thorne and honking at each other.
"You'll have to go around son," the toll booth operator said to John. "This gate is closed."
"Right, sorry. It's just we're a bit tied down at the moment. Car chase and time travel stuff. Very serious business."
"Eh?" The operator reared his head. "What's all this about? How old are you? Is this even your truck?"
Ringo's voice piped from behind. "This isn't even me band."
The operator's mouth seemed to drop to the street at the mysterious passenger voice from the meat compartment. John banged on the back of the cab with the side of his fist.
A shot rang and echoed as it pinged the side mirror of the truck. The operator leapt into his booth in fright.
"Ope. Sorry. Gotta go. See ya." John accelerated and smashed through the flimsy arm of the gate.
Lennon sped into the tunnel, shifting correctly for once.
The lights on the Birkenhead tunnel swished past one after another. Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. John messily wove in and out through cars so sharply it made me feel sick. Or maybe the stress of what was happening made me feel sick. Either way, I was holding a churning puke.
Thorne was a much better driver than poor John learning to shift in a meat truck and he caught up to us with ease.
John swerved in front of a double-decker bus that honked loudly at him. "Where is the portal Em? I don't know where I'm going!"
"It's off the cliffs just beyond the funfair."
"Oh, brilliant. Would've been a whole lot easier if we had gone then."
"Hindsight, Lennon."
A familiar sound filled and echoed through the tunnel. That old European siren. WEE OH. WEE OH. WEE OH. Red and blue lights flickered on the tunnel walls.
"Uh, oh."
"Is that for us?" George asked from the back.
"Keep. Driving." I told John.
PING. A bullet punched a hole through the middle of the windshield. John yelped.
"That one nearly had my name on it."
I leaned my head out the window and yelled. "Dammit, Thorne! Don't you know 'assassination requires a healthy dose of subtlety'?!"
Thorne sped up and re-aimed his gun. I reached over and grabbed the steering wheel, jerking it hard.
"TURN NOW!"
We veered into a separate tunnel on the side. The truck lost control and slid until John could regain control with the steering wheel again. But it was too late. The quick and sudden turn had killed the engine and sent us spinning and sitting backwards.
We heard brakes screech loudly from the tunnel. Car lights approached as Thorne spun around and drove head on through the stream of traffic toward us.
"Where does he think he is? America?"
"Just get us out of here!"
John turned the key into the ignition and straightened the car. A loud rev burst into the side tunnel followed by the growing sirens in pursuit.
We rushed through the tunnel and out the side exit into the sun. Four men in business suits cross the road in a line right in front of us. I covered my eyes and screamed as John cranked the wheel and turned sharply.
There was a significant crunch and thump that threw us forward. John's glasses knocked off his face and clattered to the floor. Suddenly, we were on the pier.
"Em, my glasses!" he said leaning over the steering wheel. "I can't see!"
"Oh, John!"
Pedestrians shrieked and ran. One man with a bulldog on a leather leash almost didn't make it and had to pull his dog out of the way at the last split second.
The same crunch and Thorne had followed us onto the pier. Two more crunches and the cops followed close.
John squinted desperately as he drove. I leapt to the floor to feel for the glasses with my hand. A woman screamed from outside and the truck swerved, throwing my head into the bottom of the dashboard. I may have had an armor mod, but my head still throbbed and the welt from the bullet stung under my collarbone.
"Em! Help!"
I felt the plastic frames under my fingertips, grabbed them by the lenses and hopped up by John. I tried to stick them on his face but somehow jabbed him in the eye instead.
"Watch it!" he yelled.
"Sorry," I said. "I don't know how these work! We don't have them in 2109."
"They sit on your nose, it's not brain surgery." He grabbed the glasses, flicked them open with one hand and put them on.
Around the bend, a tall and menacing shadow came into view. A dark structure akin to the Eiffel Tower loomed over the colorful attractions of the fairground.
"There's the Ballroom Tower and the fair!"
"But how do we get to the portal?"
"John!"
Right in front of our path was a giant cement barrier marking the end of the board walk and the beginning of a sharp drop into the sea. John twisted the wheel and dodged the barrier but not soon enough and scraped the side of the truck.
We crashed through a wooden fence right into the fun fair. The dense crowd of fair goers shouted and parted as the meat truck slammed into a tent. The canvas ripped off and draped across the windshield. More people screamed as Thorne in the second car careened into the fair. One of the cops didn't quite get the sharp turn and the Wee Oh of his siren crashed with a sad groaning "woop".
The tent canvas completely covered the windshield and sounds of crashing and gasping were all around us.
"Get it off, Em!" he yelled.
I leaned out the window and reached for the canvas. The tent edge was flapping wildly in the wind and I barely grazed it with my fingertips. I had finally grabbed it when suddenly the truck smashed through a planter box. The bump knocked the canvas off but also knocked me further out the window. The glass of the window dug into my hips, as I was face to face with the rolling tire.
Thorne took another shot at the truck and the bullet dinged against the metal siding.
I hoisted myself back into the cab of the truck and huffed a lock of hair off my face.
"Gee thanks for the help," I said to John.
"I don't dare take my hands off the wheel!"
"I could've rolled to my death!"
"If I take my hands off the wheel you will."
We exited the funfair on the other side of the Tower Ballroom and around the coast to the cliff where the portal secretly hung in the sky. Thorne followed us. The police followed Thorne. An old man in Wellingtons stood on the beach, puffing his pipe, and calmly watched the parade of frantic drivers.
"There, there! Turn!" I yelled.
Another whip of the wheel. The Beatles in the back were complaining less and less, I hoped John's desperate driving hadn't knocked them all unconscious.
We drove up the hill the truck straining with the sand and the grass. Thorne followed and at least two other cop cars, their lights whirling and spinning. I activated my IND to get the exact coordinates for the portal.
"Alright, stop!" I yelled. The car came to a jolting halt. "Now back up a little."
"I- uh…"
John shakily put a hand on the gear shift, keeping an eye on the fast-approaching Thorne. He started backing up.
"Okay! Stop, stop, stop!" I yelled.
Another slam of the breaks.
"Right here! Perfect!"
"It didn't work, Em!" he yelled. "We're still here! Where's the portal?"
"Yeah…" I grabbed the steering wheel and yanked it a full 90 degrees. Twisting the wheels until they faced the edge of the cliff.
"Are you completely mad?!" John asked.
CRUSH! We both jolted forward. In the side mirror I saw the hood of Thorne's stolen car crumpled under the bender of the truck. Then his door opened, and he got out, gun in hand.
"Get down!" I took John by the shoulders and pushed him further into his seat. "Drive! Drive!"
Thorne power walked to the driver's side. I climbed into John's seat and sat right on his lap. I put my foot on the lever thingy that I assumed was the gas. The truck, still in reverse, whirred against Thorne's car, the wheels sinking into the muddy hillside.
"Make it go forward!" I screeched, grabbing John's hand, and trying to get him maneuver this machine I didn't understand.
"You mad woman! You'll kill us all!" he said resisting me, pulling, and fighting.
As Thorne got to the window I laid my entire body across John covering at least the most vital parts.
"Get off!" Thorne yelled at me gesturing with his gun.
I opened the truck door and smacked Thorne's arm. Ping! A bullet, which I hoped was the last, shot through the roof of the car.
A megaphone sounded from behind. "Lower your weapon! The lot of you, get out of the car!"
I kicked the gun out of Thorne's hand, and it clattered to the floor of the cab. He growled and grabbed me by my shirt sleeve.
"John drive! He's going to kill you!"
Finally, John shifted the truck and inched slowly to the edge of the cliff.
Thorne kept pace, jogging next to the car pulling me by my shirt. I tried to roll the window up on him, but it was one of those stupid hand cranks that I had to wrench around while struggling out of his grasp.
"Stop! Get out of the car!" The megaphone shouted at us.
"John! Go!"
He shut his eyes tight and shifted again. The car sped toward the cliff. Thorne couldn't hold on. He dropped off the car and rolled behind us. Closer the edge of the cliff came into view. My stomach pitched, as I hoped to Galactica that the portal would catch the entire truck. And not just half of us.
"No, no, no, no, no!" John screamed, each 'no' more panicked than the last.
The wheels sailed off the edge and we were in free fall. The last thing I remember was a half a yelp from John, cut off by a blinding light.
Again, the feeling of slow motion. John's arms raised slowly to the roof by his wrists. Everything inside the car seemed to float up with us. Papers from the floor of the truck. A hot dog bun from the fair. The weight of three more Beatles that I couldn't see.
My neck slowly cranked to the left. Where in the void and the light and the space I saw myself. A fresh nervous self. Mid jump, clutching to the straps of a parachute with Thorne at my side.
Clunk! Smash! The wheels hit the hard floor of the sterile travel room. I slammed on the brakes, but it wasn't in time. We skidded, fishtailed, and slammed into the wall.
A low blaring alarm rang and scientists from all around ran for us. I saw Thorne sitting on the edge of the hood. He wore an entire padded suit like what a crash dummy would wear. He wasn't chasing us anymore, he was calmly undoing the strap from his helmet.
John lay limp against the driver's seat, his neck stretched back. I didn't even know my heart could beat any faster, but when I saw him, I really thought that he hadn't made it. No one had ever brought a live person through the portal before and I wasn't sure if it were possible to live through that.
I grabbed him by his shirt and shook him, until finally he let out a loud shuttering breath and opened his eyes.
"I went out," he said quietly.
I couldn't help but laugh and pulled him in for the hardest smooch I've ever given anyone.
"We did it," I got out frantically. "I love you!" The door opened wide and a team of travelers snatched me away from John

Cannabissearch.com Buzz Rating: Just like the classic AK47, this backcrossed variety hits smokers with a force, enveloping their mind, body and spirit in an intoxicating, medicinal effect, lasting for around an hour.
Vicky Peach is most easily recognized by her large, dense buds that are absolutely caked in trichomes, giving off a pungent aroma of sweet fruit and musk. This strain is a serious cough-inducer, so users with asthma may want to stay away from smoking it. Eating it would be the best course of action. Despite being a sativa, this bud is a serious couch-lock variety that will have even the most seasoned of tokers comatose on the couch or even the floor. Productivity does not usually go along with this succulent peach.
The breeder recommends allowing Vicky Peach to vegetate at least five weeks, before forcing flowering. They also recommend topping or FIMing in order to produce bigger buds and a bigger yield, while keeping the height to a reasonable level. When cultivated indoors, this strain will usually flower anywhere from eight to nine weeks. Outdoors they will be ready by the beginning or middle of October. Gardeners can expect big yields of potent bud when they add Vicky Peach to their garden.
Vicky Peach 0 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 0 user reviews.

FBI Plans to Populate its Massive Face Recognition Database with Photographs Taken in the Field
In the last few years, the FBI has been dramatically expanding its biometrics programs, whether by adding face recognition to its vast Next Generation Identification (NGI) database or pushing out mobile biometrics capabilities for "time-critical situations" through its Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC). But two new developments—both introduced with next to no media attention—will impact far more ordinary Americans than anything the FBI has done on biometrics in the past. Read about the second development below and the first here.
As Privacy SOS reported earlier this month, the FBI is looking for new ways to collect biometrics out in the field—and not just fingerprints, but face recognition-ready photographs as well.
The FBI recently issued a request for quotations (RFQ) to build out its mobile biometrics capabilities. Specifically, it's looking for software that can be used on small Android-based mobile devices like Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets to collect fingerprints and face images from anyone officers stop on the street.
If the plan goes through, it will be the first time the FBI will be able to collect fingerprints and face images out in the field and search them against its Next Generation Identification (NGI) database. According to the RFQ, FBI's current mobile collection tools are "not optimized for mobile operations" because they are large and are limited in scope to determining if a person has "possible terrorist links (in the U.S. or abroad) or is likely to pose a threat to the U.S."
This plan appears to be a broad expansion of the FBI's "RISC" program. RISC provides mobile fingerprinting tools to determine whether someone is an "Individual of Special Concern" by allowing access in the field to a database of "wanted persons, known or appropriately suspected terrorists, sex offenders, and persons of special interest." The FBI says RISC is intended for "time-critical situations" and to identify a limited subset of people within its criminal fingerprint database. But now it appears FBI intends to use its mobile biometrics collection tools much more broadly.
The biggest concern with this new mobile program is that it appears it will allow (and in fact, encourage) agents to collect face recognition images out in the field and use these images to populate NGI—something the FBI stated in Congressional testimony it would not do.
Specifically, in 2012, Deputy Assistant Director Jerome Pender stated:
Only criminal mug shot photos are used to populate the national repository. Query photos and photos obtained from social networking sites, surveillance cameras, and similar sources are not used to populate the national repository.
But the new RFQ contradicts this because it appears the desired software would allow officers to submit non-mug shot photos to NGI. The RFQ says the FBI is looking for a mobile biometrics tool that would, "at a minimum . . . include fingerprints and facial photographs for submission and receipt of a response." Photographs taken in the field are clearly not "mug shot photos" because they're taken before booking and possibly even before arrest. And it's hard to see how a mobile tool that allows officers to collect these non-mug shot photos and "submit" them to a database is not also "populating the national repository."
Unfortunately, as we have noted many times before, we don't know exactly how the FBI plans to populate NGI with face images because it hasn't updated the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for its photo database since 2008—well before the development and deployment of NGI's facial recognition capabilities. Mr. Pender testified to Congress in 2012 that FBI was in the process of updating this PIA to "address all evolutionary changes" since 2008. But despite a 2014 letter to then-Attorney General Eric Holder signed by EFF and 31 other organizations calling for FBI to update the PIA, the Bureau still fails to explain to Americans exactly how it plans to collect, use and protect face recognition data. Our calls for an updated PIA are clearly falling on deaf ears. But without one, it is impossible to tell exactly how the FBI is limiting its acquisition and use of facial recognition data now and in the future.
As EFF testified during a Senate Subcommittee hearing on facial recognition, Americans should be very concerned about the government's plans to build up its facial recognition capabilities:
Facial recognition takes the risks inherent in other biometrics to a new level...[it] allows for covert, remote, and mass capture and identification of images, and the photos that may end up in a database include not just a person's face but also what she is wearing, what she might be carrying, and who she is associated with.
Given the FBI's broad goals for face recognition data, the time is right for laws that limit face recognition data collection.

Unlike Sky, the character he plays in Mamma Mia, Adam Jacobs comes from a close-knit family — so close, in fact, that all the members share the same musical gene and itch to entertain.
Jacobs' grandmother was a cabaret singer who was asked by Tommy Dorsey to travel with his band at the ripe age of 15. Jacobs' mom always sang in the choir at church, and his little sister Gabrielle began her entertainment career at age 6, performing with song and dance troop Razzle Dazzle in California. When Gabrielle invited Jacobs to start voice lessons and join her, he jumped at the chance. They performed in hotels and at weddings for years, before Jacobs discovered community theater.
In between visits, the couple uses cell phones, Skype and Webcams to keep in touch. At the beginning of a tour, they lay out their schedules side by side with an atlas and see where and when visits make the most sense. "The most important thing is knowing when the next time we are going to see each other is," Jacobs says. "We like to plan ahead." It helps that he is able to negotiate extra vacation time, and that Kelly's tour usually has three or four days in between stops.
Mamma Mia plays at the Fox Theatre Feb. 9-14.


It will be difficult for you to stay still.
ate last night on Instagram's algorithmic explore page that I learned about an Ohio based rapper named Q Money. Ironically, it wasn't on his page. I watched a blooper video of two young women dancing like him to his song. It was funny.
If you know me like I think you do, you know that I am one of the people behind Lil Bizzy's recent musical debut. So, there was an instant interest there. A burst of curiosity takes over when I work with people who aren't from a metropolis. Naturally, we become deeply invested; wanting to know who else is from the town.
Out of curiosity, I went deeper. Next, I listened to his three track mixtape titled, "WIN." Each record hooked me. Personally, I like the way his voice sits in the pocket of each instrumental. "Work," the video, reminds me of a few previous instances in rap culture. Most importantly, Q Money added the element of dancing—which has won millions of people over in the past. Do you remember how people reacted to the clip of Bobby Shmurda's dance in that Vine clip? It also doesn't hurt that, like Shmurda, his 'hood backs him.
It is making its rounds around the web now, but I think Q Money is going to be the next big thing in the industry. We've been starving for something new, on the major-mainstream front. It's here.
Q Money's latest music video is out now. Watch the incredible "Work" below. It will be difficult for you to stay still.

High Street, Horam
High Street, Horam - a Memory of Horam.
Because of the grounds of Horeham Manor virtually all the shops were on the side of the road that is to the right in the photograph entitled "Horam, Main Road c1955". One exception can be seen in this picture, and I believe is still there now. It was a wooden structure, built (so I understand) by my late father and his brother (the latter died in 1955, before I was born). The two began selling produce from ground they rented from Horeham Manor, calling their business 'Manor Nurseries'. In about 1959 my father moved what had then become a greengrocery and florist business - using the same name - to the brick-built shop almost directly opposite (which since he finished in 1967 has itself been various types of shop, currently one selling antiques).
My father's name was John Pierson, and some of the shop personnel included Mr (Harry) Sands and Mrs (Marjorie) Pope. My name is Mark, and I was very young when we lived (in an old caravan) behind the wooden shop. My brother Andrew was born in the brick-built shop.
We both attended Maynards Green CP school, but in 1968 as a family we moved from the village to elsewhere in the country. Our parents have since passed-on.
However the village and the house where we spent our young (formative?) years are dear to us even though much time has passed since then!
Thank you for allowing me to 'go down memory lane' and God bless!

Ballistic is my attempt to create a gaming system that incorporates the flexibility of systems like d20, but is streamlined enough to provide quick setup, and fast gameplay. The impetus for this project was my desire to play an RPG that could accurately reflect the feeling of action films. Attempting to play a game based on something like James Bond or Die Hard would be difficult with d20 because of all the extensive stats and rules players need to remember, and working with that system would slow down the gameplay to the point where it loses the intensity those films have.

What the heck.. I talked Helen into hunting this afternoon..it's 84 degrees and should be in 4 th rut of the year.. It is crazy here in levy county.
I'm usually hunting in snow this time of year. 47 when I left to go hunting this afternoon and 54 right now at 7:30 pm. Crazy.
Helen had a button buck come by at 3:45 and some Tom Turkeys after that..then she saw a deer behind her in the thick stuff right before dark. I had 2 big does with a big fawn feed by at 12-15 yards at 5:10pm. No bucks or hogs. I am going to put Helen in my bow stand tomorrow, since I see those 3 does often there. I can sit about 300 yards from her in a rifle stand.
Just got settled into my rifle stand over looking a cut over..I put Helen in my bow stand where I saw 3 does yesterday afternoon. I have an antlerless deer tag good only for this 3000 acres..she passed on a button buck yesterday, we don't shoot them. We are about 300 yards apart..wind is gusting up to 12mph and good for me but just ok for her stand..if it stays more NE she will be good..not as hot as yesterday.
the deer moved late today about 15 minutes before too dark to shoot, I had 2 does walk 15 and 24 yards behind me down wind..they didnt seem to wind me and walked towards Helen. Helen heard some hogs up wind of her working south..towards the stand she sat in yesterday.. on the way out we swung over to her regular gun stand and the hogs had been there, fresh rooting on the trail in to her stand and in front of the stand.. We saw a Japanese restaurant open on the way home, Shrimp tempura for me Sushi for Helen, no dishes to wash..


This training video was designed for Home-Health Providers but could also be used by other rehabilitation specialists. The 30 minute video is based on two important evidence-based exercise programs for fall prevention, the Otago Exercise Program for Fall Prevention and the Lifestyle integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program. The LiFE program adapts Otago strength and balance exercises for integration into activities of daily living using various triggers in the home. Demonstrations of strength and balance exercises and how they can be integrated into regular activities of daily living are presented.
The STRIDE team encourages home health providers and other rehabilitation specialists to review this video and use the concepts and examples with their patients both in the rehab setting as well as for long term self-management if warranted.
STRIDE team experts and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing developed a series of training modules to inform practitioners on fall risks and strategies for prevention. Review of the following modules is recommended for all exercise providers.

We have over 6 fully qualified technicians with a number of them trained to IMI standards and fully Hybrid trained. We look after a large fleet of Hybrid vehicles and fully electric vehicles for a number of large companies and colleges in Cambridge. We can work on all makes of cars petrol, diesel and Hybrid electric with the specialist tools on hand and the experience and knowledge to fix faults the first time. All our staff have experience in the motor trade and have been picked for their knowledge and experience of a varied number of manufacturers and our front of house team in the office are also ex-technicians so they can clearly explain faults to customers in a way that the customer will understand should they not have knowledge of the faults or services they have had done.
During the winter months, it is even more important to check that your vehicle is well maintained and in good running order. Wallis & Son would like to help prepare drivers for the unpredictable British winter weather. This service is also a great thing to do before you plan any long trips in the winter or summer so if you are not due a service why not pop your car in for a health check before that long trip away.
Wallis & Son Service Centre is offering fix price servicing now from £135.00 in Cambridge and Royston and also a Winter/ Summer health check (RRP £39.95) on all vehicle makes and models. The winter check includes brake, battery, light and tyre check, all tyre pressures will be adjusted as necessary and oil and screen wash, antifreeze, brake fluid levels topped up if required and the fixed price servicing gives you the option to maintain your car the way you want to and this is more than likely to be better than the manufactures schedule.
We can also offer this service in the summer to get your car ready for any long trips you may have planned with your MOT if your service is not due.
General Manager Richard Evans is in overall charge of the workshop operation at Wallis and Son, with Christian Peck dealing with all of our customers' requirements, so you can be sure you're in safe hands. Wallis & Son is a member of the Good Garage Scheme which means that the dealership must adhere to a strict code of conduct. Only the very best service garages are permitted to join the scheme which is designed to maintain the highest workmanship and customer service standards. To ensure that these standards are upheld, every member is regularly assessed by the organisation's own highly skilled technical inspectors. Wallis & Son is also a member of the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) which provides customers with further reassurance and assistance if needed.
Wallis & Son has invested more than half a million pounds in order to provide the Service Workshop with the very best facilities. This highly impressive workshop includes the latest tools and 'SNAP-ON' and 'Auto Logic' multi-franchise computerised diagnostic fault finding systems are featured along modern 'Sill Lifter' ramps which magically disappear into the concrete floor whilst not in use to save space. The up-to-date MOT testing bay can provide tests on all cars and light commercial vehicles, Richard and Christian ensure that there are almost 'clean-room' conditions within the workshop which you can view from the comfortable reception area whilst waiting for your vehicle to be MOT tested.
Everything from routine servicing to major repair work is undertaken on all makes and models and the accomplished technicians are highly trained to deliver the best possible workmanship and all work and parts come with a guarantee.
You will find the workshop open from 8.30am till 5.30pm Monday to Friday and from 8.30am until 12.30pm on Saturday.
Only genuine or equivalent manufacturer replacement parts are used during servicing and repairs and our labour rates are extremely competitive against those charged by many main dealers and our local competitors. What's more, servicing can be performed on new vehicles still covered by the manufacturer warranty as all tasks are performed exactly to makers' service specification as required. This means that you can receive the highest quality workmanship at a value-for-money price. Several members of the workshop team have remained with the dealership for more than 50 years which helps when it comes to providing continuity of service.
MOTs can be carried out while you wait, but for longer periods Wallis & Son offers a free courtesy car or van while we have yours.
Read comments from a few of the many satisfied workshop customers on the Customer Testimony page. A considerable number of local businesses use the services available at Wallis & Son, and Cambridge University regularly maintains their fleet of 50 vehicles through the workshop as well as local builders and companies this is helped by the varied fleet of vans and tippers we have to loan to them while we have theirs.
The company operates one of the largest courtesy fleets in the region and the new high specification Nissan Jukes which are replaced every two years. Running a large courtesy fleet assists in reducing lead times. Book your vehicle into the recently expanded and modernised workshop and the eight expert technicians can often begin work the very next day, while you drive one of our courtesy cars free of charge. Hardly surprising then that Wallis & Son have many repeat customers who are delighted by the excellence of workmanship and reasonable labour rates charged. The company's primary focus is customer service and this is evident in everything they do from when you walk in the door to when you collect your vehicle after the service, MOT or repairs.
As we all know, air conditioning keeps you cool, comfortable and alert at the wheel. It can also reduce driver error caused by fatigue or frustration and can help with the de-misting of windows.
Although most vehicles are now fitted with air-conditioning as standard, strangely the system is not often included in the manufacturer's servicing schedule. A poorly-maintained air-conditioning unit can also drain power from your vehicle's engine and increase fuel consumption dramatically.
It's also worth noting that if your vehicle's air-conditioning system has not been maintained regularly it can harbour harmful fungal spores, especially if the system hasn't been operated for a while. When you switch on your vehicle's air con unit these spores are released through the ventilation system. When inhaled they can have harmful effects on your health and it is possible that you may experience unpleasant flu-like symptoms.
Not regularly servicing the system could mean that it fails just at the moment when you need it most, in the heat of the summer or when demisting windows in the damp or cold of winter. Repairs almost always turn out to be a lot more expensive than a service and, as the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Wallis & Son's technicians are highly experienced in the field of vehicle air-conditioning maintenance and can change poly-filters, disinfect the system and re-gas your vehicle's air conditioning unit to ensure that it's working safely and efficiently.
To avoid reduced performance, bigger fuel bills and future costly repairs, let Wallis & Son carry out a service on your vehicle's air conditioning system. It will save you some potentially heavy bills in the long run.
We also have free WiFi while you are waiting for your vehicle and a new coffee bar and hot food!
Get customers ready for winter and make sure their headlamps are working to their full capability or just give their car a new fresher look!

We sell black tea from almost all areas of its production. We started with teas from Darjeeling, Nepal, Indian Assam, and also Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Later we added black (red) teas from Taiwan and Japan. It was initially believed that black and green teas come from two different types of Chinese tea shrub. At least this is what the Swedish botanist Carl Linneaus published. However, both types come from a single plant, Camelia sinensis.

How did it all begin...
The drinking of black tea in Europe became widespread, especially thanks to the popularity of the drink in Great Britain. The Brits got to know tea as a result of colonialism and tea drinking made its way to the rest of the world.
The specific taste of black tea is shaped by the way of its processing and oxidation. Freshly picked tea leaves are left to wither to soften up. During withering, water evaporates from them. Then they are rolled, which disrupts the cellular structure, helps release the juices enables proper fermentation. This is the core process for the production of quality black tea. When performed correctly, tea has good taste, flavour and clear infusion.
Another important part of the process is drying with hot air, which also fundamentally affects the final taste and fragrance. Overheated tea may acquire an undesirable caramel flavour.
The fine caramel scent in black teas is the result of the caramelisation of sugars during the fermentation process. However, if it is too strong or resembles the smell of roasted bread, it is an indicator of poor tea processing.
Quality tea is the work of an experienced manager who controls the whole process and whose wrong decision can ruin even the best leaves.
There are whole-leaf and broken-leaf teas. This division takes place during sorting and breaking. Sometimes, the CTC technology (crushing–tearing–curling) technology is used for the processing of large quantities of leaves that are crushed and torn at the same time during curling. There are also powder teas (fanning, dust).
Black tea and human health
Around 400 substances contained in tea leaves, so-called active ingredients, have been recognised. They include particularly caffeine, polyphenols (tannins), flavonols, flavonoids, theophylline and theobromine (similar to caffeine), fats, waxes, saponins, essential oils, carotene, the C, B1, B2, B5, B10, B12, E and K vitamins, enzymes, iron compounds, potassium, fluorine, sodium, calcium, copper, nickel, zinc, trace elements and many more.
Black teas are fermented; this process destroys most of the vitamins contained in tea leaves. However, useful minerals and tannins remain.
The content of polyphenols varies depending on the tea type. Thanks to these substances tea has a positive effect − it helps prevent cancer, cardiovascular diseases, infections, caries and many other health problems.
Polyphenols (tannins) are present in all genuine teas and cause their slightly bitter, astringent taste and distinct scent. After ingestion, they are absorbed in organs. They are excellent antioxidants.
Tannins have an anti-inflammatory effect, help soothe the stomach and intestines and heal airway mucosa during cold. Theophylline stimulates blood circulation and relaxes muscle spasms. Tooth decay is prevented by the fluorine present in tea.
Black tea producers
One of the most famous black tea producers in the world. In the northeast of India, in the lowlands around the River Brahmaputra, more than half of the total production of Indian tea is grown at a maximum elevation of around 120 m a.s.l. Most of it is drunk in India in the form of strong, very sweet tea with milk. Together with the provinces in south China, Assam is the only place of origin of wild tea. The local variety, Camelia Sinensis var Assamica, was discovered by Robert Bruce in the 1920s. He also began experimental tea cultivation. In the 1930s, its commercial cultivation commenced.
Thanks to uniform climatic conditions and soil quality, most Assam teas are easy to recognise thanks to their full, fresh flavour with a strong, sweet, almost honey aroma. The colour of the infusion is darker than in Darjeeling and Ceylon black teas.
Apart from tea processed by orthodox methods, the area offers broken teas and CTC (finely granulated torn leaves). A large proportion of Assamese tea goes into blends (English Breakfast is the most popular).
Real gems among black teas are those grown at the foothills of the Himalayas near the border with Nepal and Sikkim. Here, in the vicinity of the former colonial town of Darjeeling, at an altitude of about 2000 m, a highly acclaimed tea is grown on a rather small area of 83 plantations. They were founded in the 19th century and have been planted mostly with Chinese tea plants with varying proportions of the Assamese variety. In the demanding terrain, tea has always been hand-picked and processed in century-old but well-maintained machines that remember the British Empire. This small area produces only a few thousand tonnes of tea per year; however, it is royal-quality tea.
Indian tea from the "Blue Mountains" in south India at the borders of the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Tea is grown on slopes of 600 to 2750 metres. About 70% of production is processed by means of CTC technology; the remainder is whole-leaf teas. The Nilgiri teas have sought to secure a position next to the teas from Darjeeling and Ceylon. The quality has been continuously increasing and it can be expected that Nilgiri is going to offer real gems in the future. The majority of the local tea is sold at the auction at the Coonoor Tea Trade Association and is used for tea blends and bagged tea. It is harvested in two flushes: spring, from January to April, and the monsoon summer flush in July and August.
Sikkim is a stone's throw from Darjeeling, which is further south, divided by the valley of the River Teesta, with its tea plantations literally in view. The Sikkim teas are often sold under the Tevi Tea brand. This is where the only local tiny tea factory and the largest tea garden of about 437 acres are. The production of other small growers associated with The Sang Martam Small Tea association, who farm on around 75 acres, is almost negligible and is processed in the Tevi Tea Factory. Tea is harvested in three flushes identical to those of Darjeeling. The character of the teas is also very similar to those produced by Sikkim's southern neighbour and until recently it could have been compared only to the average production of Darjeeling teas. However, the situation has changed rapidly and Sikkim teas have been improving their position in the market.
In the same area, west of Darjeeling, there is another popular tea-growing region with climatic and geographical conditions suitable for the cultivation of Nepalese teas. Most plantations are in the eastern part of Nepal near the border with India in altitudes from 900 to 2100 m.
The first tea seedlings were a gift to the Nepalese Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana from the Chinese Emperor. The year 1863 saw the foundation of the first gardens in Ilam, an activity heavily supported by the governor of eastern Nepal, Gajaraj Singh Thapa. Ilam is a tea-growing centre till the present day. Currently, Nepalese tea is grown on 16,000 hectares in more than 85 gardens. The yearly yield is around 13,000 tonnes of predominantly black tea (80% of which is CTC). Nepalese tea has been experiencing a renaissance recently, with better and better teas whose quality is becoming close to those from Darjeeling. Unorthodox processing methods have been experimented with, which makes the local oolongs and green teas a real surprise.
There are three main flushes, identical to those in Darjeeling.
Originally, mainly coffee and sometimes cocoa was grown in Ceylon. Unfortunately, these plantations were destroyed by a disaster in the form of the Hemileia vastatrix rust in the mid-nineteenth century. The afflicted growers quickly found a replacement in the form of tea. The environment and climate were very favourable for tea growing and tea became widespread, soon replacing coffee completely within a few years.
Ceylon is the fourth largest producer of tea in the world. Tea is grown on 187,000 hectares, predominantly in the central and southern parts of the island. Three cultivation zones are recognised, depending on altitude:
high grown – above 1200 m
medium grown – central levels, from 600 to 1200 m
low grown – from the sea level to 600 m
Most local yield is processed into broken tea (BOP), fannings and CTC and is used in tea blends and bagged teas. Whole-leaf tea constitutes only a tiny part, not to mention green and semi-green teas.
Typical Ceylon tea has a full, spicy, honey-sweet − or fresh, even astringent − taste with a sweet fruity aroma and golden orange infusion.
Local black teas, sometimes referred to as "red", are not particularly popular in China and large quantities of them have been produced only in recent decades. They include immeasurable quantities of various types of tea, often of excellent quality. The most famous red teas come from the Chinese provinces of Yunnan, and Anhui and to a lesser extent in most of the usual areas.
Kenya is one of the largest tea producers in the world. Most of the tea produced there is processed mechanically by means of CTC and ends up in tea bags. The majority of teas are of average quality, with a taste somewhere between those from Assam and Ceylon.
Among other areas worth mentioning are Georgia, Turkey, Java, Sumatra, Argentina and Brazil.

Welcome to the Wallis and Marilyn Kimble Northwest History Database Home Page.
The core of the database is the Northwest newspaper clippings collection. The newspaper articles were collected and organized in the late 1930's by dedicated historians working for the Works Progress Administration. The work was organized and supervised by Dr. Herman Deutsch, a professor at WSU.
The selected articles have been digitized and made searchable in this online collection. The collection describes in vivid detail a period of rapid growth and development in the history of the Pacific Northwest. During the early part of the 20th century the Pacific Northwest experienced an influx of inhabitants leading to rapid development in the area. Settlers were still arriving, when farmable land and available water were getting scarce. Large and small irrigation and reclamation projects were planned, funded, and constructed during this period. The profound impact of the settlers on the indigenous Native American population is vividly documented in the newspaper clippings selected.
The database also includes primary source material such as government reports, laws, maps, etc. pertaining to the settlement and development of the northwest. In addition the site has extensive links to other related web sites, such as Native American cultural sources, relevant dam web sites and important laws and legislation. The site is a work in progress and new material appear daily. If you find any bugs or glitches or if you would just like to send a suggestion, please e-mail the webmaster at mascref@wsu.edu. Funding for the creation and construction of this project was made in large part by the generous donations from WSU Alumni Wallis and Marilyn Kimble. In March, 2014, WSU Libraries Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections held an exhibit entitled "Clipped History: The WPA and the Stories Behind the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Collection." Click on the exhibit title for photos and information on that exhibit. Thank you and enjoy your visit.

Royal Bank of Scotland Report on Jobs – February 2019
/ March
Latest report shows growth in permanent placements slows to modest pace in February.
According to the latest Royal Bank of Scotland Report on Jobs, the Scottish labour market remained strong during February, with permanent staff appointments and temp billings both expanding. Although the rates of increase slowed in both cases, growth momentum was stronger than recorded for the UK as a whole. Furthermore, demand for temporary and permanent staff rose strongly, despite easing since January. Amid a further deterioration in labour supply, pay pressures remained elevated in February.
Latest survey data extended the current period of growth in permanent appointments in Scotland to 25 months. This contrasted with the UK, where permanent placements stagnated. However, the expansion in Scotland eased notably from the historically marked rates seen towards the end of 2018 and was only modest overall. It was also the slowest increase seen across the current sequence of growth.
Temp billings also rose further during February, although the rate of increase slowed. The expansion was strong overall, despite softening to the weakest since January 2018.
As has been apparent since March 2012, permanent staff availability in Scotland declined, albeit at a pace that was the softest in four months. Nevertheless, the fall was steep overall and markedly stronger than seen for the UK on average.
Short-term candidate supply in Scotland also deteriorated in February. However, the drop in availability was the weakest for almost one year. Temporary staff shortages were also apparent across the UK as a whole.
A healthy appetite for new hires in Scotland was signalled by further growth in demand for both permanent and temporary staff during the latest survey period. In each instance, however, vacancies expanded at softer rates. Permanent job openings increased at the weakest pace in just over two years, while growth in temporary roles was the slowest since January 2018 and below the long-run average.
Scottish recruitment agencies pointed to further growth in pay during February. Salaries awarded to permanent starters in Scotland rose sharply, despite the rate of inflation easing to the slowest since March 2017.
Short-term pay rates in Scotland also increased in the latest survey period, thereby extending the trend seen over the past four years. Though strong, the rate of temp wage inflation slowed to a six-month low.
Nick Stamenkovic, Senior Economist at Royal Bank of Scotland, commented on the latest report:
"The latest report was mixed. Permanent appointments slowed markedly in February, continuing the recent trend, but remain in positive territory. Temporary staff billings also slowed last month albeit modestly.
"However, vacancies for permanent staff continued to increase at a healthy pace in February whereas demand for temporary staff has clearly weakened recently, dropping below the long-term average. Supply-side constraints for permanent workers, evident since March 2012, show few signs of easing: the availability of permanent staff continued to shrink sharply in February, mirroring the trend in the rest of the UK.
"The upshot is that pay pressures for permanent staff have eased to their lowest level since March 2017, below the UK average, and to a lesser extent for temporary workers.
All in all, the Scottish labour market has lost a bit of momentum in early 2019 but remains strong, keeping upward pressure on pay. With inflation moderating, real incomes continue to improve, a key support for consumers."

So I beleive that Neil and I have finally decided on a name. Lukas William Wells. We have always had the middle and last name picked out, as William is Neil's grandfathers name… and as for Wells, that is Neil's last name. Neil would have been the last male in his family to carry the name on…. so now it will be the baby's turn.


TEXAS CITY, Texas — A plumber's traded-in truck has landed in Syria, and the man's friends at home think he's been aiding terrorists.
A photo posted on an Islamic militant group's Twitter feed shows a Texas plumbing company's old truck turned into an anti-aircraft firing weapon on the front lines of Syria's civil war. The company wants to make clear they're not aiding terrorists.
It's all because of a photo posted on an Islamic militant group's Twitter feed. It shows one of Mark-1 Plumbing's old work trucks with its logo on the side, turned into an anti-aircraft firing weapon on the front lines of Syria's civil war.
"We had no intentions or no idea that this would even happen," said Jeff Oberholtzer, son of Mark-1's owner.
He traded the truck in himself in November 2013 at an AutoNation Ford dealership about 20 miles away in Houston.
The truck immediately went to auction and likely traded owners over and over before apparently winding up in the hands of a Chechen group named Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar, a dealership spokesman said.
The group primarily consists of Chechen and Russian fighters but also has recruits from Europe and the USA, according to the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium.
"To think something we would use to pull trailers now is being used for terror, it's crazy," Oberholtzer said. "Never in my lifetime would think something like that."
He's had to take his phone off the hook because of the fallout of angry, even threatening, phone calls from across the USA.
"We have a secretary here. She's scared to death," he said. "We all have families. We don't want no problems."
Tracing how the Ford F-250 pickup wound up in the middle of a Middle East civil war is nearly impossible, but Oberholtzer said he's learned a valuable lesson in hindsight: Remove any company logos from vehicles before selling them; you don't know where they'll end up.

Erling Braut Haaland Records 11 Goals in Eight Matches
By joshua on September 8, 2021 sport
Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland has taken his club form to his country. He continued his phenomenal goalscoring form with a hat-trick in his country's 5-1 win over Gibraltar in World Cup qualifying. The Norwegian striker scored three goals in the thrashing.
Erling Braut Haaland Continues Impressive Form
Kristian Thorstvedt opened the scoring and then provided the assist for Haaland to make it 2-0. He then got his second before Reece Styche's lob made it 3-1. Alexander Sorloth pounced on a loose ball to restore Norway's three-goal lead in the second half, and Haaland tapped in his third in injury time.
The Manchester United target has now scored 11 goals in eight games for club and country this season and has already scored two hat-tricks. In his first game of the campaign, he scored in a 3-0 win against Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup, and now this one against Gilbraltar.
