Although Black History Month for 2015 officially has to come to a close, Murfreesboro is fortunate that with the work of the Bradley Academy Museum amd Cultural Center the focus on black history is a year-round event.
We want to commend the city of Murfreesboro for its plans to spend more than $180,000 on renovations of the historical structure on South Academy Street.
Bradley Academy has been an important part of the community since its founding year, now established as 1809, as the first school in the county and one that helped educate James K. Polk, who became president of the United States.
The academy also served as a hospital during the smallpox epidemic in 1836 and the Battle of Stones River in 1862.
Bradley Academy did not locate in its current site until 1917, and by that time it had become the elementary school for African-American children in Murfreesboro. That role in the then-segregated South began in 1884.
The school evolved into providing elementary and high school grades until the founding of Holloway High School in 1928.
Then the Academy Street building fell into disrepair, but Bradley supporter Willie A. McGowan made it his personal mission to renovate the facility for a use as a museum and community center.
Bradley Academy Museum and Cultural Center now is open to the public Tuesday though Saturday and includes exhibits on the Underground Railroad, a century of change in Rutherford County, Bradley and Holloway High and U.S. Colored Troops and a Heritage Classroom.
We hope the renovations will help the museum to increase its holdings and its programs.
We know that the facility now has problems with parking capacity, and we also hope for some relief with that.The city of Murfreesboro is making a financial commitment to the museum, and we hope the community also will increase its support for its programs.
Bradley Academy Museum and Cultural Center has been an integral part of this community for more than 200 years, and we want its future only to be bright.

Feral Fixers brought in eleven more cats today to the PAWS-Chicago Spay/Neuter clinic to be fixed. Eight of these cats were ferals while the other three were "friendly ferals".
Due to the modest number of cats today, I did the trips solo, both ways; picking up the cats from Tammy's in the morning and taking them to PAWS and then picking them up from PAWS this afternoon and bringing them back to Tammy's for recovery and distribution. Once again, super-volunteer Judy was at Tammy's this morning and this evening - helping out with everything (Thanks Judy!).
I wrote last week about how a couple of key people were leaving PAWS and being replaced. I was a little worried that things might not be as smooth today because of how new these PAWS people were in their positions. Silly me - everything ran smoothly, another testament to how well PAWS is organized and managed, and the high-quality of their people.
One of the ferals and one of the friendly-ferals turned out to have already been spayed, so we wound up having nine cats fixed today. This brings our April total to 56, our yearly total to 205 and our overall total to 7,483.

Recipe for Fitness: Merry Day After Christmas... and other randomness.
Merry Day After Christmas... and other randomness.
How was your holiday? Ours was great! Christmas Eve we held our annual family poker tournament. Bethany won this year! Everyone had to wear crazy hats ;-) It was a fun night, that lasted well into morning, lol.
Hmmm, everyone's eyes glow? How'd I manage that?
Guess it's just my unique skill-set, lol!
Christmas morning, we had our traditional (and clean, woot!) breakfast burrito's and opened gifts. Unfortunately, Ariel had to work on Christmas, so she headed out, then Bill's dad, his wife, and Grandma came over for dinner. Did you see my picture of the apple pie on facebook? hehehe. This is Bill's 2nd favorite dessert (first place goes to my white chocolate raspberry fudge cheesecake, lol).
Anyway, it was a nice, fun, family oriented holiday. Just the way I like it ;-) Nakki has made it longer than we expected, and it was a special blessing to have her with us, though bittersweet since we know this was her last Christmas. She got a giant bone ;-) (Winnie got one, too). She spent the day snuggling up to each of us and chompin' on her treat. She's still so playful and loving that it's hard to believe that she's near the end.
And now we're frantically gearing up for the Engagement party. I've got to hit Costco either today or tomorrow (I vote for tomorrow) to get all the food, then it gets crazy. The girls all head the bridal salon Saturday morning for sizing & fittings - Shi will try on her dress for all the girls and Monica (Jared's mom), and I'll probably cry. Again.
After my weigh in earlier this week, the weight gain kept bugging me - it seemed like a big jump for just 4 weeks. Sure enough - I weighed in again the next day and it was lower. I think I'll split the difference and call it 4 lbs, lol. Probably a water thing, that it read so high. I know I'm supposed to be gaining (build phase), but it's still got to be controlled. I can see more definition, so that's a nice side benefit.
So to cap my random thought-based post today (haha), here's my latest ink: I'm a firm believer that tattoos should mean something - I mean, seriously, that stuff's permanent! If you're gonna have to have it forever, then it should have meaning, IMHO. ;-) This has significance for a couple reasons... first, it's a set with my daughter, Shiloh - her infinity reads "faith" (Bethany will get one when she turns 18, and Ariel hasn't decided if she's getting one or not, lol). I waited to get mine until I was set on the word I wanted. This last week, I finally did it - I chose "believe". That one little word tells my story. Where I've been, where I am, and where I'm going. I've learned to believe, and I love having this permanent reminder that no matter what obstacle faces me, I can and will keep going.
Here's to moving forward! ;-) And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go ice my shoulder.

It's 5:15 p.m. on a Tuesday when Sally Owens is driving seven-year-old Pete home from soccer practice. He's hungry, she needs a new phone charger and dad's at home waiting on a box of nails so he can fix stuff.
She takes a right and pulls into a spot in the shopping center parking lot. Forty-five minutes, two stores and one franchise restaurant later, the Owens' SUV pulls into the driveway brimming with plastic bags. Everything the family needed was neatly packed into one quick-and-easy shopping trip conveniently located on the way home from the soccer field.
Coincidence? Not by a long shot. The brands that benefited from Sally's shopping excursion knew exactly what she needed and where she'd be when she went to buy it. They've analyzed countless pockets of their very best customers to determine who those shoppers are, where they travel, what marketing they respond to and which locations best meet their day-to-day needs.
This is precisely the kind of scenario that results when key decision makers know how to leverage location-based spatial data.
Analysis of spatial data is what lets you see who's driving where (and when), how one location impacts another and which pockets of customers hold the most promise for your brand. Without this highly detailed information on where customers live, work, drive, shop, recreate and more, a company may never reach the full potential of its data.
Put simply, location-based data—everything from mailing addresses and proximities to trip and traffic trade areas—can be used to unlock truly deep insights about a company, customers and competitors.
No amount of customer profiling and marketing will influence a company's success if it occurs in the wrong place at the wrong time. Spatial data is the key to getting it right.
To better understand the impacts of spatial analysis, let's look at a real-world example inspired by actual events.
Imagine for a moment you're back in the early 1990's, when the dine-in movie theater concept was new. Back then, the most moviegoers could expect at one of these locations was basic bar food and a limited selection of second-run movies.
Now fast forward to 2016, and you can look at virtually any urban area to see that the theatre-turned-restaurant is THE place many people go to catch first-run feature length films. The idea was a brilliant one, but it took more than two decades for the concept to catch on.
Bottom line: If you want to turn a great idea into a growing brand, start by analyzing your spatial data.


De Pont has for the second time received, on loan, a special work of art from Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen: Walter De Maria, A Computer Which Will Solve Every Problem in the World / 3-12 Polygon, 1984. The work was first exhibited in De Pont in 2005-2006.
The American artist Walter De Maria (1935) made this impressive floor sculpture specially for Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. In a strictly ordered, diagonal placement, seventy-five stainless stell rods lie on the floor. The sculpture begins with a row of three rods, triangular in cross-section, and ends in a row of twelve nearly round, dodecagonal (twelve-sided) rods measuring one meter in length. This length determines the entire scale of the work: the parallel rows are consistently placed one meter from each other, the same distance with which the successive rows are staggered on one side. Despite this distinctly serial construction, the sculpture possesses great visual complexity, and every change of perspective gives rise to a new image.
The work of Walter De Maria is often related to Minimal Art. He uses materials with a streamlined surface or industrial products in geometric or serial configurations. A number of his works have been carried out in landscape and are thereby considered Land Art. For a brief period, De Maria was also occupied with film and music; in 1965 he had been the drummer for the New York pop group The Velvet Underground. His best-known work remains The Lightning Field (1977), located in the desert of New Mexico. This is comprised of 400 stainless steel poles that stand upright in a large rectangular formation. The area is known for its sudden thunderstorms, and lightning frequently strikes the steel poles of the artwork.

Happy Friday guys! I'm so excited to introduce you to one of our guest DIYers and a super cute conversation heart cake tutorial today! Since me and Emily aren't the best at baking we felt it would be better if we handed you over to Holly from Club Crafted for this adorable tutorial just in time for Valentines Day….
Hi there! I, Holly, am really only into Valentine's Day for the treats. Sorry boys, but dessert is still the way to my heart, and whether you celebrate Valentine's Day with your girl gang or with your S.O., these fun conversation heart cakes are the perfect way to celebrate the day of love.
Based on the classic conversation heart candies, these mini cakes can be customized with your favorite little sayings. Display them for a party, make them for your friends or make them for simply indulging on Valentine's Day! Using any recipe you'd like with mini heart pans, spread pastel colored icing all over the cake and write words on them with red gel icing to create cakes that look just like the conversation hearts we all know and love. Here's how to make them!
*Note, a recipe for 24 cupcakes will make approximately 6 mini heart cakes.
First, choose your flavor! I thought it was appropriate to make red velvet cake with a smooth cream cheese frosting for these themed cakes. You can use any combination as look as the frosting is light enough to be dyed a pastel color. Then, preheat your oven to the necessary setting, usually 350 degrees.
Spray the heart springform pans with cooking spray and set aside. Prepare the cake batter according to the recipe instructions and divide the batter between the pans so that each is about ½ full. You may need to bake in batches depending upon how many cake pans you have.
Place the pans on top of a standard baking sheet. This makes them easier to move into and out of the oven. Baking times will vary according to the recipe. Bake for approximately the time of a batch of cupcakes and check often, increasing time as needed until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before removing from the pans. Use a cake level or knife to level the domed top of the cakes.
Prepare the frosting. It should not be too thick in order to spread easily. Separate the frosting into multiple bowls and add a couple drops of desired food coloring to each bowl. Mix to combine until each bowl reaches an even pastel color.
Spread a small amount of frosting into the middle of each cake board and place the cakes top down onto the frosting to secure them to the boards. Use an angled spatula to apply a crumb layer by applying a thin layer frosting all over the cakes. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the cakes from the fridge and ice a second layer on the cakes, scraping the icing until smooth on all sides. Repeat with additional layers as needed and store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Lastly, use a red gel icing to carefully spell out words on top of each cake in capital letters. My personal favorites were BAE MINE, HEY GIRL and UR CUTE. To make the letters as even as possible, work slowly and start with the middle letters of the words (this ensures the words align in the middle of the cake).

Gaz de Bordeaux est une entreprise française de fourniture de gaz naturel et de services associés.

Historique

Entreprise

Le , Jean Benel, négociant bordelais, crée une société anonyme autorisée par ordonnance royale, la Compagnie d'éclairage de la Ville de Bordeaux. Le procédé du gaz à hydrogène n'est alors pas nouveau, puisque c'est un français, Philippe Lebon qui, en 1799 brevette la thermolampe qui allait révolutionner l'éclairage urbain.

C'est en 1832 que démarre l'installation du gaz à Bordeaux avec la construction d'une usine, rue Judaïque. Le gaz est alors manufacturé : la combustion du charbon dans des chambres de carbonisation en fonte libère du méthane, emmagasiné dans des gazomètres ; ce gaz est alors injecté sous pression au réseau. Jusqu'en 1875, c'est alors la Compagnie Impériale et Continentale qui est adjudicataire de l'éclairage au gaz de la ville de Bordeaux. L'éclairage est alors l'unique débouché de cette nouvelle énergie.

En 1845, apparaissent les premiers appareils de chauffage et en 1954, l'invention du brûleur à flamme bleue (appelé à tort Bunsen) marque les débuts de la cuisine au gaz. Enfin, l'eau sera aussi chauffée au gaz avec la découverte des premiers chauffe-bains à circulation d'eau sous pression.
Mais à l'époque, les gaziers de Bordeaux étaient essentiellement occupés à « chauffer les cornues » (four servant à fabriquer le gaz) et à allumer les becs de gaz.
1875 marque la fin de la présence anglaise : la concession cédée à la Compagnie Impériale arrive à échéance et l'exploitation du gaz est confiée à la Compagnie du Gaz de Bordeaux qui héritera de deux usines : celle de la rue Judaïque mais aussi celle de La Bastide, construite en 1845.

En 1906, une usine de distillation de coke s'installe à Bacalan : seize fours à cornues capables de fabriquer  de gaz par jour. Parallèlement, on assiste aux progrès de l'électricité. En 1919, une Régie Municipale du gaz et de l'électricité est exploitée sous l'autorité du maire de Bordeaux, célébrant ainsi le premier mariage industriel de la cité. Les nouveaux usages du gaz progressent aux dépens de l'éclairage ; une nouvelle usine est construite à Bacalan en 1922. Plus performante pour répondre à une demande grandissante, elle est aussi novatrice dans le domaine du recyclage des sous-produits de la houille.
Électricité, gaz naturel, la jeune Régie ne s'arrête pas là et compte bien mettre à profit sa maîtrise de la technique des chaleurs : c'est en 1931 que le Conseil municipal décide de construction d'une usine d'incinération de ordures ménagères. L'énergie thermique produite par la combustion des gadoues est alors transformée en énergie électrique : douze cellules d'incinération traitent alors  de déchets par jour et produisent  d'électricité.

À la Libération, la loi de nationalisation ne concerne pas la Régie, déjà municipalisée. L'objectif étant de mettre dans la communauté nationale des industries vitales pour la nation, ce but est considéré comme atteint à Bordeaux.
En 1949, le gisement de Lacq est découvert dans les Pyrénées Atlantiques : le gaz naturel remplace alors le gaz de ville manufacturé et les brûleurs domestiques des  de l'époque doivent être adaptés à cette nouvelle formule chimique. La Régie propose un nouveau service au client : la maintenance des installations. Avant, après compteur, son savoir-faire devient complet pour l'ensemble de la chaîne gazière. La Régie décide de se consacrer exclusivement au gaz naturel en cédant la concession de la distribution électrique à EDF. Elle s'appelle désormais Régie Municipale du Gaz de Bordeaux.
 À Bordeaux, des nappes d'eau chaude sont exploitables. C'est le début de la géothermie exploitée par la Régie. Le forage de Mériadeck permet de chauffer  de bureaux et d'économiser . Suivront les stations de la Benauge et du Grand Parc en 1984.

En 1991, le capital de la Régie est ouvert à de nouvelles participations avec un changement de structure juridique qui transforme la régie en SAEML.  Mais la ville de Bordeaux reste l'actionnaire majoritaire de ce qui devient la SAEML Gaz de Bordeaux. Les années 2000 sont marquées par l'ouverture du marché de l'énergie, conformément aux directives européennes de décembre 1996 (« paquet énergie »). Cette nouvelle réglementation impose une séparation entre le gestionnaire de réseau de distribution et le fournisseur d'énergie. Cette séparation est d'abord comptable avant de devenir juridique en 2008 avec la répartition des deux activités dans deux entreprises distinctes. La société nouvelle chargée de fournir l'énergie garde le nom de "Gaz de Bordeaux" et peut étendre sa clientèle sur un marché désormais ouvert à d'autres opérateurs. Ainsi, Gaz de Bordeaux est aujourd'hui un fournisseur d'énergie en concurrence et disponible partout en France pour tous les clients, professionnels et particuliers.

Bâtiments

En 1935, le siège de la Régie Municipale est construit rue Poquelin-Molière sur les plans de l'architecte Raoul Jourde, également à l'origine du stade Municipal. Le bâtiment en béton de style Art déco fera scandale notamment en raison de sa haute tour-balise abritant l'ascenseur, et proche de la tour gothique Pey Berland. L'immeuble est converti en résidence hôtelière Mama Shelter qui ouvre en 2013.

Depuis 2007, le nouveau siège social est sur la place Ravezies, au Nord de Bordeaux en pleine mutation. Il a été conçu par les architectes de l'agence Flint et Michel Moga.

Métiers
Après la découverte du gisement de gaz de Lacq, le gaz naturel va se substituer au gaz manufacturé et les brûleurs ne sont plus adaptés. La Régie Municipale propose alors à ses clients d'adapter les injecteurs des appareils gaz en assurant en exclusivité le service de relèvement de pression (passage de 9 à ). L'entreprise intervient pour la première fois sur les installations intérieures, c'était le début du SAV.

Aujourd'hui, sur le volet « services », Gaz de Bordeaux réalise un chiffre d'affaires de  au titre de l'entretien et du remplacement d'appareils, fort d'une équipe de plus de  et un réseau local de près d'une trentaine de prestataires ou sous-traitants.

Sur la partie « fourniture d'énergie », Gaz de Bordeaux enregistre un volume annuel de près de  auprès de  sur le territoire national.

Mid-May: The temperature of Delhi reached new heights, and so did Team POSist's desire to go up to the mountains and cool our summer blues. The much-awaited trip to Rishikesh finally began on the night of 20th May, when the POSist team geared up for the excursion of a lifetime.
At 11:30 in the night, the POSist team boarded the buses that were to take us to our weekend getaway. We laughed, and sang, and had a hell lot of fun during the entire ride, discovering several singing sensations in the team, who sang their hearts out. We also unearthed several talents, such as our in-house DJ Bulbula, who went on to play the most atrocious songs of the millennium, that became more unbearable by the passing minute, yet were still requested to be re-played every so often.
We reached Rishikesh the next morning, delayed by the traffic and tired from the journey. The entire fatigue of the journey, however, was entirely wiped out once we got a glimpse of our beautiful campsite. The camps were nestled in the heart of the valleys of Rishikesh and were truly an exquisite sight to behold. A makeshift bridge that ran over the running stream led us to the entrance of the campsite.
In we walked and had to quite literally hold our breath as we took into the panoramic beauty. The crisp, clean, mountain air refreshed us, and we pranced around, exploring the entire campsite. Little tents had been set up around a clearing, where we later gathered together for music, food, fun and games. There was also provision for rope climbing, volleyball at the back.
After a quick breakfast, we set out for the adventure we all had been eagerly awaiting for so long: river rafting! Chanting Sparta all along, the POSist team buckled our jackets, and geared up for the adventure of a lifetime! We settled into our rafts, and thus began the rafting. Over the waves, we paddled, but the soreness in our arms was nothing compared to the adrenaline rush that we got, that made us feel alive like never before. We took a pause from rafting and decided to test our nerves by diving from the cliff. Although the height wasn't much, the dive surely turned out to be an exhilarating experience. We also stopped at a Maggi point to have hot, delicious instant noodles before resuming our rafting adventure. At calmer waves, we even jumped from our rafts and took refreshing dips in the water. After an exhausting yet completely thrilling river rafting session, we traipsed back to the buses and returned to our camps.
Back at the camps, we satiated our starving bellies. After some rest, all of us gathered at the lush green lawn in the evening, where we spent the entire night chatting, singing, playing games and having fun. With food and drinks in plentiful, we had a gala time the entire night. We retired into our camps well late into the night, with some of our more adventurous teammates staying up until 4:30 in the morning!
The next morning greeted us crisp, cool, and fresh, and we decided to go on a trek. The clear spring just outside of our camp beckoned us invitingly, and we spend a happy time there playing in the fresh water.
After breakfast, we checked out of the camps and decided to explore the city. We walked along the streets of the holy city, taking in the grand temples, and the local culture. A few of us also snipped into the local shops and bought some souvenirs. All the walking has made us quite hungry, and we decided to have lunch at the famous Freedom Café. Spent from the trip, we had our delicious pasta, pizza, and fresh juices and shakes, before we began our journey homewards.
The bus journeys were a great experience of their own. Once more we fished out the speakers and cleared our throats and sang our hearts out.
The trip to Rishikesh brought about the much-needed getaway from the sweltering Delhi heat and the hustle-bustle of the city. Strengthening our bonds as a team, the trip turned out to be a great excursion and helped is blow off some steam. Amid great hullabaloo, fun, and games, the trip had us completely spent, but also rejuvenated us in so many ways.

Lichfield 2 played their second away game in the Derbyshire Winter League on Wednesday against Duffield 6. A harder fixture than their previous outing but the fixture was won relatively comfortably overall only marred by defeat at 5th string.
Mike Allen won his second match 3-0 with his opponent pushing him close in the third.
Rob looked very comfortable in the first game against Wayne but the games alternated to 2-2. He fell behind in the third, 8-3 down at one point but came back to win in the closest match of the night.
Mark won 3-0 against Sue fairly comfortably and Richard lost 3-0 at number 5 (fairly uncomfortably).
Ben had a fast and furious game against Nathan losing the first but finding his rhythm the further he went into the match to win 3-1 overall. He does however now understand that his racket has to be raised to claim a stroke, even if the ball is about to strike his opponent and said opponent fully agrees it is a stroke. Rules eh?!

I wish I come here more often, the words have bottled up for so long but there isn't much time in a day to slow down and get them out. When I do sit down to write I find myself thinking of the same themes and thoughts I had a year ago, I guess nothing much has changed which worries me, because by now something different must be happening inside but it has not. I feel like floating in space going around and around the same objects with nowhere to land.
Time alone and to reflect is what moved me to dig deep within before but I am trying to drown my worries I am keeping as busy and occupied as I can. In the long run is not good for me, I know. Starting today I will do my best to isolate myself from time to time. Being in the desert of my being I can see things more clearly and the words emerge effortlessly. I also need to finish a project I have been holding on to for too long and let it fly, wherever that might be. I need to revisit the places I was exploring before and see if there has been any changes also, I am sure it has. Most of all I need to give voice to my needs and wants in order to obtain them.
I see in the horizon a new possibility but I am immobilized, I don't believe it is my call to do so. I hate to be labeled for it, so I will wait to come my way if it is what is meant to be. All I know is that inspired me to be the best that I could be and even expanded the way I saw myself and what I could do. It was a wonderful feeling, I felt alive and creative. But I will leave it at that and let God move things in the way he knows is best for me, in the meantime I will receptive to his promptings.
May you always continue to find the right inspriration at the proper time Clary. All the best.
Thanks Phil, I certainly hope so.
Oh, I am sorry! I must be doing something wrong because clicking on my name isn't linking to my blog.


Abstract: Using the full data set of the NA48/2 experiment, the decay K+- -> pi+- e+ e- gamma is observed for the first time, selecting 120 candidates with 7.3 +- 1.7 estimated background events. With K+- -> pi+- pi0D as normalisation channel, the branching ratio is determined in a model-independent way to be Br(K+- -> pi+- e+ e- gamma, m_eegamma > 260 MeV/c^2) = (1.19 +- 0.12_stat +- 0.04_syst) x 10^-8. This measured value and the spectrum of the e+ e- gamma invariant mass allow a comparison with predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory.

This was the northeastern part of the ghetto, where many wooden houses, previously inhabited mainly by Poles, were located. A large segment of the area was made up of fields, gardens and cottages. For the ghetto inhabitants, Marysin was a symbol of well-being. Here, there were vacation homes for the favored officials and what functioned as summer apartments for some of the Jewish administrations dignitaries. However, special centers for Zionist youth, the so-called hakhsharas, where young people learned to cultivate the fields, were situated here as well. Plots of land managed by various youth organizations also marked the area. There were more than 20 kibbutzim, with well over 1,000 people involved. The kibbutzim were also involved in cultural and educational activities.
The Central Managing Office of Marysin II was located at 5 Prozna St. In the first months of the ghetto operation, the Marysin area had orphanages (100 Marysinska St. and 119 Okopowa St.), schools (48 Marysinska St.), along with summer camps and day camps for children from that were established June 11, 1941. The day camps were organized especially for poor children and orphans. The camps for children were held mainly in the summer, but also at other times of the year. The children lived in boarding houses, where they were learning and working. More than 100,000 children attended the camps. Many photographs have been retrieved that show the children playing in the fields of Marysin.
The Summer Camps Office and the Section of Children's Soup Kitchens were located at 23 Zagajnikowa St. In September 1942, during the so-called "shpera" the children from the summer camps were deported to the death camp at Chelmno-nad-Nerem, along with several thousand other young inhabitants of the ghetto, and killed. Later, these buildings were occupied by various departments.
Today, the Marysin area looks completely different from the war era. Some of the buildings survived, but the vegetable fields are gone. Houses and apartment complexes now dot the area.
Mr. Chairman, who stayed in Marysin on Saturday afternoon, made an inspection of the children from the summer camp. Troops of children led by their tutors marched lively past the Eldest of the Jews.
The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto, July 13-15, 1941, Vol. 1, p. 197.
We had no classes because all children staying in Marysin were to march in front of Rumkowski, and, what's most important, we got an additional afternoon snack: a piece of bread with a slice of sausage. Indeed, a lordly gesture of our master! Of course, a speech couldn't be avoided. The old man said that he gives us what he can and, in return, he demands from us to learn, learn and learn well.
Dawid Sierakowiak, Diary, July 27, 1941, p.43.
The ghetto is developing better and better. A large number of workshops and factories is being established, and together with the old one they indeed constitute what they jokingly call '/1 Jewish Industrial District." Marysin, a completely separate district, houses not only schools, summer camps, sanatoriums, etc., but also many factories and labor departments, like the workshop producing carpets from rags, a marmalade factory, candy factory, a shoemakers' workshop, ornament workshop and many others. It is all "state-owned" or "des Aeltesten der Juden" [supervised by the Eldest of the Jews].
Dawid Sierakowiak, Diary, August 24, 1941, p. 49.
Above all, the Chairman was determined to invite as many workers as possible to his place in Marysin for a regular holiday. And so he did. Every week another group of ''distinguished'' managers, trusted people and reliable friends would go to the house in Marysin; they would go on foot, sometimes by horse carriage, and later also by tram to the Eldorado of the ghetto, to the Chairman's house (119 Okopowa St.), in order to relax from the nerve-racking everyday work in the ghetto. It was the Chairman's wish that the vacationers not be visited by any relatives during that short holiday. And indeed, this was a rest! It's amazing how much this week has done for us. It is only a few minutes away from the city center, but it is a completely different world. The landscape of Marysin, gloomy and not delightful in itself, as was the entire area, would turn into a paradise for the vacationers.
Oskar Singer, Walking Quickly through the Ghetto, p. 114.
Two years ago, the Chairman established a rest house (Heim) for high-ranking dignitaries in Marysin. The lodging period was scheduled for seven days. The first groups consisted of the highest-ranking dignitaries and people closest to Rumkowski's heart. They were fed well. The population started protesting against such injustice; those who are allotted the best food rations and even get special coupons from the Chairman do not need any better food, the more so because the first groups included people whose work was not exhausting, for they did not do anything. Under pressure from public opinion, they started to send to Heim other officials as well, such as office advisers, clerks, etc. Those were, however, still the privileged people. Only at the end of the summer of 1942, new Heims were set up for the workers, and workers from the departments were beginning to be sent there in large groups. At present, four Heims are functioning: two for officials and two for workers. People are sent there all year round, but those who suffered from abdominal typhus have priority.

In the last quarter of 2015, the European Commission kick-started its review of the regulatory framework for telecoms and also consulted on the EU speed and quality targets beyond 2020. The ambitious consultations covered a wide range of EU policies, Directives and Regulations crucial to the development of the Digital Single Market. Earlier this month, the Commission published a summary of the responses ahead of the proposals due later this year.
The public consultation on Europeans' broadband needs attracted 1551 responses, predominantly from individuals and organisations based Germany and France. The preliminary results indicated that users' needs in terms of internet speed and quality were not currently fulfilled, users' expectation is to see the use of internet and services dramatically increasing by 2025 and policy measures are required to support the development of infrastructure in line with their future needs.
The consultation on the EU telecoms rules gathered 244 responses predominantly from organisations based in Belgium, Germany, France and Italy. The consultation covered issues such as regulations on network access, spectrum management and wireless connectivity, sector specific regulations for communications services, universal service rules, and institutional set up and governance.
The European Commission highlighted some interesting trends including a consensus from stakeholders around the need to review the current universal service regime. However, results also highlighted the disparity of views on issues such as the regulation of electronic communications services, and whether the focus of the regulation should be on service or infrastructure competition.
Of course, the difficult bit is now using this disparate evidence to bring forward proposals that enhance the Framework, with the Commission bringing forward its legislative and policy proposals later this year.


They also sacked the Deputy Speaker, Sina Animasaun.
Both Oluwawole and Animasaun are members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Oluwawole, a staunch loyalist of Governor Ayo Fayose, was removed at about 11.00 am behind closed doors.
Former Deputy Speaker, Segun Adewumi, was returned to his post by the lawmakers.
He was removed by Fayose's loyalists earlier in the year.
Sunday Akinniyi was elected Minority Leader.
The minority APC lawmakers were joined by their PDP counterparts who will soon defect to the broom party.
The change in leadership was believed to have been effected in anticipation of the change of government.
Outgoing Governor Ayo Fayose will make way for the incoming Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who will be inaugurated on Tuesday.

Woman killed by canines; CM promises steps to end stray dog
August 21, 2016 by zahed
Thiruvananthapuram: After a 65-year-old woman become the latest victim of the stray dog menace in Kerala, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today assured that necessary steps would be taken to end such canine attacks.
Siluvamma, a local resident, was attacked by a large pack of dogs on the Pulluvila beach at nearby Kanjiramkulam last night and succumbed to injuries while being rushed to a hospital.
The dogs also attacked the local people who tried to rescue the woman, her family said.
In a separate incident, another native of Pulluvila, Daisy, was also attacked and severely injured by stray dogs last night. These incidents triggered an outrage in the area.
Reacting to the incidents, Vijayan said stray dogmenace had increased in several parts of the state.
In a brief statement tonight, he said the concern and fear of the people over the street dog issue would be resolved.
Siluvamma's son Selvan, who was also attacked by the dogs while he was trying to rescue his mother, escaped by jumping into the sea.
"My mother went to the beach in the night. As she did not return, I went out searching for her. What I saw was shocking. She was being attacked by over 100 stray dogs. She was bleeding," Selvan told reporters later.
In the second incident, 52-year-old Daisy said she was attacked by a pack of dogs when she went out of the house at around 11.30 PM.
She was rushed to the government medical college here and given a shot of anti-rabies vaccination.
Medical college hospital sources said though she had injuries on her hands and legs, her condition was stable. She was shifted to Pulluvila primary healthcare centre for further treatment in the morning, they added.
Stray dogs have been posing a grave threat to the residents, especially women, children and the elderly in coastal stretches, including Pulluvila, for some time.
The issue has been a point of debate for the last few years after increase in incidents of stray dog attacks and it was also raised in the Assembly earlier this year.
According to a report submitted in the Supreme Court recently in a connected case, more than one lakh people in Kerala have been bitten by dogs in 2015-16.
The report was submitted by a committee appointed by the apex court to look into the aspect of treatment of people bitten by stray dogs and claims of compensation in the state.
The report also said Kerala is estimated to have stray dog population of 2.5 lakh, which feed lavishly on the waste and garbage dumps across cities and towns.

Question & Persuasion Jedi

Why Question AND Persuasion?
in Reflections , Questions
Forget the Possible. Dominate the art of the Impossible.
What is The Possible?
Hoo boy, heavy one. I suppose everybody's gotta think about something heavy sometime.
Me? I think I'll have another coffee.
Start over.
What is Possible?
Bumped into an old Welsh friend a year ago.
We got chatting about the current state of British politics.
Politics is the Art of The Possible, he told me. I wonder if that's why politics is so bloody frustrating to those of us who content ourselves with bread and circuses.
Today my aching muscles are reminding me of what I did yesterday, which was a Black Belt Physical Baseline test. It's mandated by the school where I train in Tae Kwon Do. I have to do it if I want to pass the grading for my next black belt level.
Eight hard, punishing exercises . . . .
All intended to measure The Possible. What I'm physically capable of right now.
Two minutes of running, wall-to-wall. How many lengths? (Answer: 22. Pleased with myself. I figured I could do 16, but 22? Happy with that.)
One minute of pushups. How many? (Answer: 26. Annoyed with myself. I'd done 31 the day before.)
Wall-sit. Sitting upright with your back against a wall, holding yourself up with your legs, nothing under your backside. That's a killer. My legs were spasming Richter 7.2.
How long? (Answer: 1 minute, 45 seconds, but that was 15 seconds better than the day before, so I was pleased. The ladies outperformed the guys on this one. By quite a margin. Interesting.)
And so on, and so on. Eight of 'em.
By the end, I was reasonably happy. I biked home, thighs still screaming. And went out for another bike ride with the family in the evening. The old bod is reminding me of how I abused it yesterday.
How much pain can you stand before you quit?
(Key idea there: Answer a question with a better question. Always a good move.)
I was never a jock as a kid. I come from a family of geeks, not jocks. We do black boxes, not black belts.
This was partly exacerbated by Crohn's Disease.
All through high school, I was plagued by recurring gut cramps.
Painfully thin. Easily outclassed in any physical activity. This included anything up to and including physical violence, so I was easily bullied and pushed around. I learned to avoid certain people, and to diffuse conflict before it threatened to become more than verbal.
My weight problem was always keeping my weight UP.
Even as a university student, just a hair under 6 feet tall, I weighed around 135 lbs.
By age 21, the Crohn's had been diagnosed, and I was ill.
really ill.
In the spring semester of my final year of mechanical engineering, I wound up in Toronto General Hospital for 7 weeks. I got out two weeks before final exams. Nearly didn't graduate.
So for most of my life, the idea of defending myself, or of excelling at any physical exercise . . . was beyond the realm of the possible. Far, FAR beyond.
It was The Impossible.
It wasn't helped by something in the soul.
Hard to articulate this. Not because I don't wanna. The words are just . . . missing.
There was something running through my head, 24/7, that said . . . .
Don't you get too big for your britches, little fella.
That's all you are, anyway. A little fella.
Don't make us have to take you down a peg or two.
See that box you're living in? It's a nice little box. We've made it just for you. You stay in it.
Don't ask for too much. Don't try to rise above your station. Nothing but trouble will result if you do.
I do not know where that thread came from. But it was running through my brain all the time growing up.
It ran through my parents' heads as well. And probably through theirs.
I wasn't taught to think that way. But I learned it nevertheless.
Why did I allow this nasty little monster into my head?
My great-grandfather knew about his own nasty little monster.
Early setback in life. Born in Northamptonshire, he was age two, his mother pregnant with his brother, when his father dies of tuberculosis.
This was late Victorian era.
Women depended on a father or a husband to provide for them, and there was no Plan B.
She was now left with a terrible decision to make.
My great-grandfather ended up being put into an orphanage, while she "went into service" . . . . as it was called . . . . for the rest of her life, generating just enough money to keep her and her unborn child alive.
Family records here are sketchy. Old Pop (as my great-gramps was called) was educated at a boys' school in Dover, where the school practice was to dip in the English Channel every morning.
Winter and summer.
The English Channel? You know? The one connected to the Atlantic Ocean?
Been for a dip in the Atlantic lately? Seen the last few scenes of Titanic?
Graduating from school, the headmaster gave him a Bible, handwriting in it that he had "a first-class education and a thoroughly good character".
A few years later, he's in Cuckfield, Sussex, where he's somehow been apprenticed as a carpenter, and married to a woman ten years his senior.
Ten. Years.
And he's having to tip his cap to every "gennelman or lady" who passes. Yes, sir. No, sir. Three bags full, sir.
And it's around this point that something in him snaps.
TWANG!
In 1910, with two small boys, and the promise of free land in Canada, they board a liner for Montreal.
Goodbye green and pleasant land. Pity you weren't greener and pleasanter to me.
A train west, and he spends the rest of his life in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. First as a carpenter, and then he gets into real estate. Does well enough to buy and rent out several houses, buy a summer cottage on Manitou Lake, and put my grandfather through university.
Not too shabby for an orphan from Northamptonshire. He'd not have managed that if he'd stayed put.
I was raised on accounts of his funny antics and one-liners. Particularly about his exacting, exquisite recipe for preparing cucumbers for dinner.
(The details vary depending on who tells the story, but the finale was always the same:
He threw the cucumbers, which he despised, out the window.)
Dad always affectionately referred to him as Old Pop, saying that he was a great friend to a young boy.
Well, go figure. Determined to give his grandson what he himself never had.
But for some reason, one now-obvious fact about him was never emphasized to me:
He was a maverick
He refused to just accept the hand he was dealt.
Don't tell me what's Possible. Your definition stinks. I'm gonna find out for myself. I deserve better than the hand I've been dealt.
When I hit my forties, two things happened to me:
(1) I turned forty.
Funny how that focuses the mind. Bummer. This might be the second half I'm playing in now. Hmmmm.
(2) I lost my dad.
Literally, on my fortieth birthday, I bid him farewell, and boarded the plane back to England.
Worst birthday I've ever had. A month later, I was back to bury him.
My dad was not a maverick. There were lots of things he wanted to do, to study, to try . . . .
Things that he Never. Went. After.
And then the ref blew his whistle. Match end.
With the party in full swing . . . .
. . . . the star of the party checks out with half his presents unopened.
What a bloody tragedy.
A few years later, I'm sitting in the local sport centre, waiting for my daughters to finish their dance classes one night.
I look through the window into the gym, and watch Master Ray Gayle train his Tae Kwon Do students, as I had many times before.
Memories of my dad and of my own schoolday bullying experiences came a-flooding.
What if The Possible isn't where I think it is?
What if the universe actually extends beyond the limits of our solar system? What if the universe is still expanding?
(Hint: It does, and it is. Google it. The answer will make your head hurt, but google it anyway.)
What if a pencil-necked geek could actually become . . . . a Black Belt?
Fast forward ten years, and two things are clear:
(1) The answer is yes. (And as of yesterday, I'm working towards my 2nd Dan.)
(2) The Possible is way, way bigger than I thought it was. But you don't get to find that out until you reach your hand out, to push. And then reach further, and still further . . .
What I thought was the outer edge of the universe, was only Saturn.
'Impossible' isn't a fact, says Tony Robbins. It's an opinion.
Forget the Art of The Possible.
Practise, nay, dominate . . . . the Art of The Impossible.

This past August a special exhibition highlighting the musical career of Manuel Galbán opened in Villena Hall @ UNEAC in Havana. On the opening day visitors enjoyed photos that ran the spectrum of Manuel's career and were treated to personal files never published before. However, the real treat was the world premier screening of Blue Cha Cha, the documentary of his newly released CD/DVD on the Concord Picante label. Here are some images illustrating the exhibition which remains open until the end of the month.


Tinea versicolor is a common skin condition due to overgrowth of a skin surface yeast. This overgrowth results in uneven skin color and scaling that can be unsightly and sometimes itch. The yeast normally lives in the pores of the skin and thrives in oily areas such as the neck, upper chest, and back. Tinea versicolor has small, scaly white-to-pink or tan-to-dark spots which can be scattered over the upper arms, chest and back. They may sometimes appear on the neck and the face. On light skin, Tinea versicolor may be faint or can appear as tan-to-pink spots, while on dark skin Tinea versicolor may be light or dark. The fungus grows slowly and prevents the skin from tanning normally. As the rest of the skin tans in the sun, the pale spots, which are affected by the yeast, become more noticeable, especially on dark skin.

Several oral medications have been used successfully to treat tinea versicolor. Because of possible side effects, or interactions with other medications, the use of these prescription medicines should be supervised by a dermatologist. After any form of treatment, the uneven color of the skin may remain for several months after the yeast has been eliminated until the skin repigments normally.

The Balcarras Trust
The Balcarras Trust is a new Trust which has been established by the Trustees of Balcarras School, Cheltenham. Balcarras is a highly successful 11-18 school situated in the heart of the Charlton Kings area of east Cheltenham. Consistently rated outstanding by Ofsted, it has also been recognised by The Sunday Times as the highest achieving comprehensive school in the South West. Its highly regarded Headteacher, Mr. Dominic Burke, has recently assumed a dual role as he is now also Chief Executive of the Balcarras Trust.
Currently, The High School Leckhampton is the only other school in the Trust, although future expansion is likely. The Balcarras Trust has a very strong ethos, a commitment to inclusivity and is always striving for improvement. We will seek to promote these values in all our schools.
The High School Leckhampton is an 11-16 comprehensive school which opened its doors in September 2021. The school was commissioned by Gloucestershire County Council to cater for an expansion in pupil numbers at secondary level in the south Cheltenham area. The school is being sponsored and developed by The Balcarras Trust who have been centrally involved in all aspects of the new school's development since 2018. The school opened to Year 7 pupils in September 2021 and is temporarily located at Balcarras School. In September 2022, we will move to our permanent home on Farm Lane, where the school will welcome a new cohort of Year 7 pupils. Eventually we will accommodate 900 pupils. The Farm Lane site is located on the southern edge of Cheltenham, just over 2 miles from Balcarras School. The school will occupy an idyllic setting, a stone's throw from the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and nestled below Devil's Chimney. It is a superb place for a school site.
The Trust believe that school should be a golden time in a young person's life. We want our children to succeed academically and to achieve the best possible educational outcomes so that doors open beyond school. Few schools nationally can claim to have higher progress figures than Balcarras. Our children make superb progress academically regardless of their starting point and the Trust has set out to create exactly the same expectations at the High School Leckhampton.
We believe that school should be enjoyable and we want children to actively look forward to coming in every day. Lively and engaging teaching is the best way to achieve this but it is also vital that there is a broad and extensive range of extra curricular opportunities and there will be.
Right from the start we want to stress that The High School Leckhampton is a separate school to Balcarras with its own leadership team and uniform etc. Of course the two schools will work closely together as 'sister' schools, sharing expertise and supporting one another.
We are delighted that the school has successfully relocated to Farm Lane in the fantastic new building.

Rose Bruford College Ranked Safest University in London
Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in Sidcup has been ranked as the safest institution in the university sector in London following the publication of 'The Complete University Guide's 2016 Crime Tables'.
Calculated using the annual number of reported incidents (per 1,000 residents) around students' term-time addresses, the crime tables provide safety-conscious students with an invaluable source of information when making their university choices.
The crime score collates the reported incidence of burglaries, robberies and violent and sexual offences. The College was also ranked in the top 10 safest institutions in the university sector in England and Wales.
The report says;
"If you're a budding student of the performing arts, you're in luck. With the lowest crime score of any university in London, and alumni such as Tom Baker and Gary Oldman, this is bound to be a popular choice with students of this discipline."
The College is located in beautiful parkland campus in Sidcup and recently opened student accommodation a short walk from the campus. In an internal survey carried out in early 2016, 100% of first-year students said they felt safe on campus.
Principal Michael Earley is delighted that the College's community-focused approach to safety has been acknowledged;
'We are pleased that Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance, Sidcup and Bexley are among the safest university destinations in England and Wales for higher education students. We work very hard with local partners, the police and through our Students' Union to maintain the highest safety standards we can.'

Study Finds That 65 Different Species of Animals Laugh To Express Happiness
By Madeleine Muzdakis on January 17, 2022
Photo: PANTHERMEDIASELLER/Depositphotos
Laughing rats and dogs may seem more like something out of a Disney animated film than of real life, but they do exist. While neither species laughs like a human giggles, each has their own joyful noise. A recent UCLA study published in Bioacoustics discovered that 65 animal species have their own form of "laughter." Among the species who make such playful vocalizations are seals, dogs, rats, and mongooses. These noises may offer clues about the evolutionary purpose of our own human laughter.
Rather than examining each species anew, the UCLA study drew upon the results of many other experiments already conducted on a variety of animal species. UCLA anthropology graduate student Sasha Winkler and UCLA professor of communication Greg Bryant combed each study for evidence of vocal play signals. These sounds are thought to indicate non-aggression during play. They vary in pitch, length, and volume by species. Some—like the laughs of chimpanzees—are familiar to the human ear. Others—such as those of rats—cannot be detected without scientific technology.
Scientists have long posited that human laughter has an important social function. Winkler noted in a statement, "When we laugh, we are often providing information to others that we are having fun and also inviting others to join…Some scholars have suggested that this kind of vocal behavior is shared across many animals who play, and as such, laughter is our human version of an evolutionarily old vocal play signal." While primates are evolutionarily closely connected to humans, some laughing species such as cows, foxes, mongooses, and parakeets are "separated from humans by tens of millions of years," Bryant notes. This poses new and interesting evolutionary questions for researchers.
One of the first animal laughs to be discovered was the ultrasonic squeak of the rat. Scientists at Humboldt University of Berlin investigated the science of touch by tickling rats while recording their vocalizations. The team discovered that the rats appeared to love the tickling of their backs. When the researchers stopped the touch, the rats would look expectantly for more and even chase the retreating hand. Their squeaks reached 50 kHz, the pitch of a happy rat receiving food or socializing with its fellows. The pleasure of the touch also lit up the sensory cortex of their tiny brains, further establishing the rats were in fact "laughing" from the tickling. Now, it seems such joy is widespread in the animal kingdom. Further research will perhaps discover even more laughing species.
A UCLA study finds 65 species of animals laugh while they play, although the vocalizations sound quite different than a human giggle.

These laughing animal species include cows, seals, dogs, mongooses, and—most famously—rats.
