Colonel David Crawford (1625 – 1710) was a member of the House of Burgesses and an early plantation owner in Virginia.

Life
David Crawford was born circa 1625, in Scotland, emigrating to the Virginia Colony with his father, John Crawford around 1643. His father was later killed in Bacon's Rebellion of 1676.

His daughter Elizabeth (died 1762) married Nicholas Meriwether II of New Kent County, an ancestor of Meriwether Lewis.

Crawford amassed many acres of land and owned a large plantation that eventually became the site of Richmond, Virginia. On April 2, 1692 he was elected to the House of Burgesses as one of two representatives from New Kent County, Virginia for two years. He introduced a piece of legislation, requiring that County Clerks maintain an office in their respective County Courthouse.

In 1693 he deeded his 400-acre Assaquin Plantation to his grandson William Meriwether. Four years later he gave his grandson David Meriwether 200 acres of land in St. Paul's Parish.

As an elderly man, he was killed by Pamunkey Indians at Assaquin Plantation, New Kent, Virginia in 1710.

Chicago police: Attack on lesbian couple an anti-gay hate crime
CHICAGO -- A lesbian couple was attacked in a Chicago neighborhood on Saturday night by as many as 10 men who taunted them for being gay and took turns punching and kicking them on the dark street.
By Staff Reports Thursday, July 11, 2013
CHICAGO — A lesbian couple was attacked in a Chicago neighborhood on Saturday night by as many as 10 men who taunted them for being gay and took turns punching and kicking them on the dark street.
Police have labeled the attack a hate crime and have charged one man in the assault, while the remaining suspects remain at large, reported the Chicago Tribune.
"It was punches, kicks, everything being thrown at us," said one of the women, 23. "We just held each other until somebody said, 'Here come the police.' "
The victim said a man they knew from the neighborhood started following them, calling them dykes and bitches.
The woman said she did her best to ignore him but he kept following, and that when a second man approached the first man took a swing and punched the her.
The couple said they fought back and other men quickly joined in, dragging the women apart.
The couple struggled to get back together, pressed against a car as the beating continued and no one came by to help, the woman said. "I didn't think we were going to make it out," she said.
Watch an interview with one of the victims from the Chicago Tribune:
Terry Glover, 24, has been charged with two counts of felony hate crime and two counts of felony robbery. He is being held on $1 million bail.
The women escaped the attack without suffering any serious injuries.

As parents and older loved ones age, they can find themselves unadjusted to a new dynamic of society. Where once they might have trusted many people in their younger days, they're now faced with the sad reality that not everyone who offers help is truly interested in helping them. As a younger care giver or family member, it's up to you to keep an eye out for financial abuse of your loved one.
Financial abuse can take many forms. Basically, it's the illegal embezzlement, theft, or misappropriation of funds or possessions from an elderly person to someone else. Many elderly people have a difficult time caring for themselves so often depend on others to handle their affairs. If the person handling financial and personal affairs is not honest, financial abuse can occur. Financial abuse occurs for too often.
Who could be financially abusing your love one?
Consider checking the backgrounds of those caring for your loved one such as nurses, home health care attendants, personal caretakers, and nursing home personnel. Often those who you'd trust most with your loved one can be the ones abusing them. Not to indict all medical professionals, many only want what's best for your elderly patient, but be careful to watch for any signs of elderly abuse.
What to do if you suspect financial elder abuse?
Financial Elder Abuse is far more common than most people realize. If you believe your loved one is being taken advantage of financially, don't hesitate to act. Gather information on why you believe they are being abused and seek positive evidence of these acts. Find a local attorney in your area who deals with elder law and seek his/her help in determining if enough evidence exists for legal action to take place. Do not approach the abuser personally until you are sure you have legal actions in place.

iServer supports the alignment of infrastructure architecture with the business strategy by capturing, managing and optimizing infrastructure portfolios, as well as relating them back to the business services and capabilities they support.
Infrastructure architecture is the practice of modeling the basic technology elements which are common across an organization and the relationships between them with the purpose of ensuring they support business objectives. It covers the client and server nodes of the hardware configuration, the infrastructure applications running on them, the services they offer to applications, as well as the protocols and networks that connect applications and nodes.
In practice, the job of infrastructure architects is to clarify what functionality is required, by whom, and at what quality level. If successful, they facilitate informed decision making in the process of designing, constructing and running an organization's infrastructure by enabling the use of the right models quickly, which leads to better results.
iServer offers end to end support for the development and management of an infrastructure architecture. The central repository facilitates alignment to industry standards by providing templates based on their Technical Reference Models and information such as BDNA's Technopedia. It also nurtures a culture of full visibility th anks to its ability to define, govern, maintain and audit documentation infrastructure standards, processes and policies.
Furthermore, iServer's Application Portfolio Management features guarantee access to user-relevant information, because infrastructure architects can determine what services and technology support are required from each business unit. It's able to match technology solutions to business requirements and evaluate scoring criteria based on business versus technology fit, business dependence versus potential contribution, or reduce total cost of ownership.
Lastly, iServer aids with the all-important task of communicating information to different stakeholders. Its communication modules – Live Documents, Portal and HTML Publisher – can be used to rapidly and easily share architecture repository information with relevant audiences.
Technology roadmaps, which allow users to match short and long-term goals with specific technology solutions in order to meet those goals.
And technology reference models, to help you clarify the standards, specifications, as well as technologies that support and enable the delivery of services.
Infrastructure architecture is just one of the many architecture domains supported by iServer. To see how iServer can support your own activities, please book a free demo with a consultant today.

Sibel Edmonds: FBI's Compromised Security Damages Turkey's Security, Too
(Balkanalysis.com Research Service)- In a new interview for the Turkish publication Vatan, former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds provides a general recap of her extraordinary story, but also provides several new details of interest to Vatan's Turkish audience.
In the enigmatic fashion that has characterized all of Edmonds' under-the-gag-order limited disclosures, the outspoken whistleblower claims in the Jan. 28 interview that "…the criminal activities which I complained about were also threatening the Turkish people's interest and Turkish national security."
This comment came in the context of Edmonds' well-known allegation regarding former colleague Melek Can Dickerson, also of Turkish extraction and married to Air Force Major Douglas Dickerson. She claimed that the pair had threatened her after failing to recruit her into an international criminal ring that had infiltrated the US security apparatus, hampering FBI investigations into Turks suspected of involvement in what Edmonds has previously loosely described as a "semi-legitimate" organization.
This group was involved, according to Edmonds, in arms and drug smuggling and relied on a complex web of governmental and non-governmental figures in several countries. She has not stated whether this organization has been eliminated since her sudden termination from the FBI in spring 2002.
For the Turkish publication last week, Edmonds added that "…both of them [i.e., the Dickersons] were committing crime against the US, against the US military and US intelligence secrets. We can describe these activities as clearing of black money, smuggling drugs, weapons and nuclear material and seizing information." When asked about the scope of the activities involved, the whistleblower repeated her claim that "…we are talking about millions of dollars here."
However, the biggest detail to emerge from the Vatan interview is Edmonds' claim that the "semi-legitimate" organization's operations also impinge on Turkish national security. She highlighted the dangers when saying that "I like Turkey very much… the Turkish government absolutely must investigate the people who I have complained about."
When asked by the interviewer how any such investigation can be started from the Turkish side, since she is still prevented from naming those involved with the illicit dealings, Edmonds replied that "…I gave all the names to the relevant state department."
Taken together, these statements would seem to add a piece to the puzzle. They would seem to show that while perhaps a few individuals in the Turkish government's employ may have been part of the "semi-legitimate organization" in question, that the government as a whole on a policy level was not. This is significant as a great deal of speculation has revolved around the extent of Turkish government involvement in the operation, since 60 Minutesin October 2002 implied that an agent of the Turkish Embassy in Washington had been spying on the FBI. Edmonds later stated that this claim was imprecise and that she had actually not been implying this.
Now, the controversy continues as Edmonds and her supporters continue to petition Congress to hear her case. However, we have learned that new mass media queries of suspected organizations in the Washington area are comin g up against a wall of silence; certain powerful parties are determined to see that the full story does not come out.

The Utah Outliers are at the halfway point in the 2018-19 WSHL hockey season and now are preparing for a very exciting week, the WSHL Las Vegas Shootout. Each year, every team in the league participates in the showcase in front of hundreds of scouts, hoping to increase their odds of advancement in their hockey careers. This season, the Utah Outliers have three new opponents that they normally don't play during the course of the year, taking the forms of the Bellingham Blazers, San Diego Sabres, and the Seattle Totems. Of these three opponents, Utah has only encountered the Blazers, back in 2017-17, winning three straight. All three teams have seen success this season, and are vastly improved from previous years. Bellingham and Seattle are jousting for the top spot in the Northwest Division, carrying records of 22-5-0-0 (Bellingham) and 15-6-1-2 (Seattle). San Diego is looking to keep moving up, sitting in 3rd place in the Western Division with a record of 9-12-3-1.
In the previous two seasons, the Utah Outliers have experienced a great deal of success at the showcase. Numerous players have received a lot of college interest and also have signed with teams that saw their talent at the event, while overall as a team; Utah has an impressive 6-1-0-0 record (4-0 year one / 2-1 year two). The Outliers also made some magic last season when goaltender Dawson Rodin scored a beautiful goal, making it onto SportCenter's number 2 play of the week. This season Utah will be looking to replicate their first season, by using this showcase as a momentum swing to help carry the team to a dominating second half of the year.
This season has been up and down for the Outliers. The team this year have been able to find wins (17), but has had a hard time stringing together consecutive games and putting together a sizeable win streak. The scoring has been inconsistent while still somewhat effective (5th place in the league), and the defense has also done well (5th place in the league). For Utah to make a sizeable run at the Thorne Cup Championship the balanced attack will need to keep rolling and impact players will have to increase their scoring volume. In year's past, the Outliers have been a team that tends to heat up near the halfway point, and this season the boys are looking to keep that trend going as 2018 ends and 2019 approaches.
Puck drop for game one is scheduled for 6:45 PM at City National Arena B against the Bellingham Blazers. Games can be viewed on blackdog enterprises website. Don't forget to tune in for some great action, and also be sure to keep an eye out on social media and the league website for live updates and more information.

The Watermelon
Mary Ellen Palmeri
Welcome to our monthly "Origami Page". Origami is folding paper and ending up with delightful figures and models, such as flowers, boxes and animals. This feature will showcase a different origami model in each monthly issue, with diagrams and photos to help readers learn how to fold them. Most models use one square of paper, some use a rectangle, and others use more than one piece of paper.

The Watermelon: Interesting Facts and Fancies:
The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5.000 years ago in Egypt! It is found in Egyptian hieroglyphics on walls of ancient buildings.
The watermelon is thought to have originated in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa and it still grows wild in that area of the world. They are tropical or subtropical plants and are grown in many areas of the world today. In 2014, global production of watermelons was 111 million metric tons!
Interestingly, there is a traditional Japanese game called "suikawari" that involves splitting a watermelon with a stick while blindfolded. The rules are similar to the Piñata game, except that the watermelon is laid on the ground while the blindfolded participants attempt to smash it open with a wooden stick. The first to crack it open wins, and everyone gets to share in eating the melon!
This origami watermelon is from one of my favorite designers, Shoko Ayogi from Japan. She presents a very playful style in the origami models she creates. I love to use this particular model to decorate greeting cards for the summer months. Large models are fun to use to decorate a festive party table as they will stand by themselves, and smaller models can be used as place-cards.
Happy folding!
Origami originated in ancient Asian cultures and has been adapted by contemporary artists worldwide to reflect their own cultures. Local artist Mary Ellen Palmeri has incorporated paper folding into many of her mixed media art paintings, and teaches origami classes locally and nationally. Some of her work can be seen in a Tucson Happenings feature here: Artist_Profile
Ms. Palmeri's original origami models have been published in books and magazines, she has been featured on broadcast media, and her mixed-media fine art works often include various original origami models. Origami LAFF (Lyric Arts Folding Fest) is a Tucson based club founded by Ms. Palmeri to provide a venue for sharing this art. The group meets monthly at a local library; for more details please contact the artist at info@lyric-arts.com

Currently watching (5/10/20) – Secret Army and The Caesars
October 6, 2020 October 6, 2020 archivetvmusings I Have Been Watching	currently watching, secret army, the caesars
Recently I've attempted to put a little more order into my archive television viewing by selecting ten programmes and watching an episode from them once a week, between Monday and Friday.
Currently they are –
Monday – Secret Army S2 and The Caesars
Tuesday – Special Branch S1 and The Mind of Mr J.G. Reeder
Wednesday – The Main Chance S1 and Undermind
Thursday – Upstairs Downstairs S1 and The Brothers S1
Friday – Public Eye S4 and The Biederbecke Affair
Every so often I'll record a few brief impressions of the episodes I've recently watched, and possibly in the future I might want to revisit one or more of these series and examine them in more depth. So to begin ….
Secret Army – Not According To Plan (25th October 1978)
We're five episodes into the second series, which means that the reformatting of the series (moving Lifeline's base of operations from a dingy café to a rather plush restaurant where Albert can conveniently overhear Nazi bigwigs chatting about important matters) is now complete.
It's rather jarring that Natalie seems to have obtained a boyfriend, Francois (Nigel Williams), out of thin air. Surely this could have been worked into the continuing plotline a little less clumsily?
Performances are key to this episode. Jonathan Newth (one of those actors who turns up in virtually every drama series of this era) is typically solid as Jean Barsacq, a blind aristocrat who is also a member of the escape line. This might seem a little unlikely, but – as highlighted by a scene with Kessler – it's also convenient, as he's obviously unable to identify a suspect for the Sturmbannführer.
Valentine Dyall receives a rare character scene (Dr Keldermans is usually called upon to do nothing more than advance the plot) whilst Michael Byrne gives all he's got (and then just a little bit more) as the hot under the collar Communist Paul Vercors.
I've never quite been convinced by the way that Vercors so readily decides to betray Lifeline. In exchange, Kessler agrees not to execute twenty Communist prisoners, held after a train – coincidentally carrying Natalie and Francois – is blown up. Since the Communists are supposed to have been carrying out a lengthy reign of terror, why hasn't Vercors crumbled under this sort of threat before?
Emma Williams catches the eye as the doomed Danielle, sacrificed – in part – to save Kessler's reputation. It's fascinating to see Kessler squirming under the intimidating gaze of Oberst Bruch (Leon Eagles). Bruch expresses amazement that Kessler hasn't been able to smash Lifeline, and suggests he moves to a new position (on the Eastern front maybe).
Capturing Barsacq and shooting Danielle therefore allows Kessler to claim that he's smashed a key part of the escape route, even if we – and Brandt – know that he's lying. By this point in the series, Clifford Rose has really become SA's main performer – certainly Kessler looks to be the character with the most potential for future development.
The Caesars – Tiberius (6th October 1968)
Whilst The Caesars will always have to live in the imposing shadow of I, Claudius (1976), Philip Mackie's six-part serial has many strengths of its own. Chief amongst these is André Morell's wonderfully weary performance as Tiberius. It's a world away, both in terms of writing and performance, from George Baker's later turn. This Tiberius is no deviant – instead he's an icy-cold administrator, thrust unwillingly into the role of emperor.
Today's episode (the third) chronicles the downfall of Germanicus (Eric Flynn). It plays out pretty closely to the later I, Claudius episode, with John Phillips offering a similar performance (as Piso) to that of Stratford Johns.
One notable aspect of this serial is how downplayed Livia has been – to date, she's only had a handful of scenes although today Sonia Dresdel is allowed to bare her teeth (previously, you might be forgiven for thinking that Livia was little more than a nice old lady).
There's plenty of strength in depth amongst the rest of the cast – Freddie Jones, as Claudius, might not be the central character but he still has a few notable moments. Caroline Blakiston glowers wonderfully as Agripinna, the widow of the unfortunate Germanicus whilst John Woodvine steps up to deliver a few lines in his trademark imposing fashion.
Secret Army – Scorpion (1st November 1978)
October 17, 2020 October 17, 2020 archivetvmusings BBC Drama - 1970's	bernard hepton, michael culver, secret army
Major Brandt's wife, Erika (Brigitte Kahn), is in Brussels for a brief visit. Their interactions later provide the spur which kicks the plot into gear, but before that there's plenty of nice character development on offer.
Brandt is clearly delighted to see her (something she reciprocates, although in a rather cooler way). This is partially explained by the fact that, as a General's daughter, she suffers from something of a superiority complex – for example, she has no wish to meet Kessler. A member of the SS is plainly a much lower form of life.
Plot-threads which pay off later in the year are established here. Erika now finds living in Berlin, which is suffering heavy bombing raids on a regular basis, intolerable. Fearful for her own life (and that of their children) she begs Brandt to move them to Brussels. This he declines to do, although he concedes that they should leave the city.
There's an intriguing moment when she finds a photograph of an attractive young woman in his wardrobe. His mistress? Since we know that he's a workaholic it would seem not and his protestations of innocence do appear to be sincere. And yet ….
You have to say that his explanation for its presence (the cleaning woman could have left it there) is a bit feeble.
Brandt has already tried and failed several times to infiltrate the escape line with one of his officers. Indeed, during series one it seemed like he was doing it every other week.
He hasn't attempted it for a while, so I suppose it was bound to happen again. The way that the audience (and Lifeline) learn about it today is a touch contrived though. Brandt and Erika are having an argument in bed and he tells her the whole story (an infiltrator – accepted as genuine by London – will shortly be going down the line). But at that precise moment his cleaning lady happens to overhear the whole thing.
That's hard to swallow moment number one. Hard to swallow moment number two is the fact she knows that Albert is the person who needs to be told about this straight away. Slightly clumsy plotting then.
Hans Van Broecken (Gunner Moller), Natalie's uncle (and no friend of Albert), returns. As a German himself, he's the ideal man to try and identify the spy, but given his loathing for Albert, will he agree? Yes of course, otherwise the plot would have floundered somewhat.
If he's unsuccessful then there will be some difficult decisions to be made. With nineteen British airman in Brussels, one way out would be to shoot them all. It seems cold-blooded, but it might be necessary in order to protect the line.
Some familiar faces can be found amongst the motley collection of airmen. James Wynn (later to play Sooty Sutcliffe in Grange Hill) is one whilst Harry Fielder (someone with a list of credits longer than several arms) is another. The spy isn't either of these though – but he's eventually dealt with by Max, with a horrified Hans looking on.
Hans' disgust that Max resorts to murder is a little difficult to credit. Did he think they'd just let him walk away? He might not have discovered too much about the escape route, but he still would have been able to identify a number of people (Max and Hans, for two).
As touched upon eadlier, the plotting of the episode feels a little suspect in places. We're told several times that various airmen have been cleared of suspicion, but it's not explained how this is done. Considering that the infiltrator appears to be, until the very last minute, a perfectly normal British officer it's hard to work this out.
Kessler only features briefly, but his scene – a meal with Madeleine (Hazel McBride) – is still a fascinating one. There's some light shone onto Kessler the private man (he admits to being lonely at times, which is why he's sought the company of Madeline – he's decided she's a kindred spirit). And he almost (but not quite) declares that Brandt is his friend, explaining to Madeline that normally he'd be irritated by the superior attitude of Erika, but given his respect for Brandt he's content not to make a scene.
Secret Army – Weekend (8th November 1978)
October 27, 2020 October 19, 2020 archivetvmusings BBC Drama - 1970's	angela richards, bernard hepton, clifford rose, secret army
Kessler is taken hostage by two desperate American airmen whilst Lifeline are keen to get their hands on three priceless paintings by Rubens ….
Even those with only a rough working knowledge of 'Allo! 'Allo! will be able to spot that this episode was used as the inspiration for the long-running saga of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies (by Van Klomp). And whilst the later parody by 'Allo! 'Allo! means that the paintings subplot raises a titter (as it were), events later in this episode take a rather grim turn.
I've previously raised an eyebrow at some of the series' plotting and I'll do so again here. Kessler knows that three paintings by Rubens are stored in a convent somewhere in the country, but he doesn't know their location. Then up pops Oberleutnant Horst (Christian Roberts) who helpfully tells him exactly where they are. Well, that's lucky.
Not only that, Lifeline are preparing to take possession of the paintings with the full consent of the Mother Superior (Sylvia Barter) and plan to leave expert forgeries in their place. What were the odds that Kessler and Lifeline would suddenly both decide to take a great interest in art?
For Albert the paintings mean security – at least for a little while. With no money currently coming in from London, once the paintings are sold they will allow the escape route to carry on (although not indefinitely). The shifting objectives of the war are touched upon here, with Albert unhappy at the way London are attempting to take more control (insisting that Communist spies are weeded out from the line). Although given that Albert's first love has always been money (others in Lifeline may be patriots, Albert is much more mercenary) I'm not quite sure why he doesn't just go with the flow.
It's interesting to ponder what Kessler's motives are. He tells the Mother Superior that the paintings are being taken into protective custody, bemoaning the fact that other art treasures have been looted. Is he telling or truth or does he plan to squirrel them away for his own use?
Christian Roberts gives a nice performance as the hapless Horst. Keen to impress Kessler at every turn, he nevertheless ends up a fellow prisoner after the pair are captured by Peter Harris (Paul Wagar) and Charles McGee (Vincent Marzello). The series has presented us with unpleasant airmen before, but McGee is in a class of his own.
Whilst Harris is mild-mannered and conciliatory, McGee is arrogant and reckless. Both are lucky to stumble across a friend of Lifeline who takes them in for the night – but McGee isn't prepared to wait around to be collected the following day. Instead he ambushes a car (containing Horst and Kessler) and puts his masterplan into operation. Actually I don't really think he's got a plan, so it's rather fortunate that he happens to stumble across the barge owned by Hans Van Broecken (this seems a tad contrived).
Kessler, now a prisoner on the barge, seems to be deriving a certain pleasure from the situation, confiding to Horst that he rarely has had the chance to study evaders at such close quarters. Clifford Rose, yet again, is on top form – contrast Kessler's early (and quite informal) conversations with Horst to his later business-like persona.
Another plot oddity concerns the three Rubens. They're in the boot of Kessler's abandoned car which is located quite easily by Monique and Max (they swop the originals for the forgeries). How did they know where the car was, especially since it was moved off the main road and hidden?
The episode really springs into life towards the end. When McGee and Harris finally end up with Lifeline, McGee's sexist banter doesn't go down well with either Natalie or Monique. Angela Richards has a mesmerising moment as Monique spells out the facts of life to McGee at gunpoint.
And for those thinking that everything has gone just a little too smoothly, there's a late sting in the tail – Hans and his wife Lena are taken away by Kessler for questioning. Kessler is at his most chilling when he tells them that they have nothing to worry about – provided they have nothing to hide.
Lena – unable to face the prospect of interrogation – commits suicide by stepping out into the path of an oncoming car. The bitter irony is that Kessler's questioning was (or so he says) purely routine. Hans tells him that he doesn't realise the fear he instills in people. Kessler replies that he does ….
It's a slight surprise that we don't see Natalie's reaction to the news that her aunt has died.
Weekend was written and directed by Paul Annett. It's an unusual double for this era of British television (Annett was much more prolific as a director, his only other television writing credits being a couple of episodes of Agatha Christie's Partners In Crime). Apart from a few plot niggles, it's a decent episode. Not the best the series has to offer, but still very watchable.
Secret Army – The Big One (15th November 1978)
November 12, 2020 November 12, 2020 archivetvmusings BBC Drama - 1970's	clifford rose, michael culver, secret army
The RAF mount a massive raid over Berlin – the big one. But things go awry after bombs are dropped short, destroying a residential suburb on the outskirts of the city. Amongst the dead are Brandt's wife and son ….
The Big One is an episode that could easily have centered totally around the Germans as Lifeline's contribution is pretty negligible. Opening with the bombing raid (stock footage mixed in with newly shot material and somewhat melodramatic music cues) we then cross to the Candide, where Brandt is dining with Oberst Neidlinger (Mark Jones). Neidlinger is the latest oficer attempting to draw Brandt into the conspiracy to kill Hitler, but Brandt still refuses to commit himself.
The conflict between the aristocratic military (as represented by Neidlinger) and the thuggish Gestapo (as represented by Kessler) is given another airing today. Kessler, dining with Madeline, repeats his views on the subject (he's still fuming about the way the Gestapo is treated with arrogant comtempt by the military elite). The cliché of the good German hovers in the background of this episode, but by the end the lines between Kessler and Brandt have been somewhat blurred.
Brandt travels to Berlin in order to arrange the transfer of his family to a safer location – ironically on the same day that the bombs hit. There's some more stock footage patched in, along with a small rubble strewn set which is the only bit of desolated Berlin we see. Brandt's collapse (after he learns of his loss) is nicely underplayed by Michael Culver.
The relationship between Kessler and Madeline inches forward (he gives her a chaste kiss).
I like the way we switch from Lifeline (listening to the BBC radio broadcast stating that 22 RAF aircraft failed to return) to Kessler and Madeline (German wireless reported 45 aircraft shot down). Both Max and Albert have a suspicion that the German figures are more likely to be correct.
Lifeline pick up one airman, Flight Sgt. Bert Lewis (Daniel Hill), but they don't hold onto him for very long. Frankly it's not surprising as their interrogation of him is brutal and hectoring. Plot-wise the reason for this is obvious – Lewis, believing they were German spies, later makes a run for it – but given the experience Lifeline have, it's hard to believe that Monique and Alain would be quite so clumsy.
And this is Lifeline's major contribution to the story. Whilst a little tension is generated (will Lewis betray any of Lifeline's secrets?) this falls flat as Lewis doesn't really know anything about them. So this part of the plot would have played out just the same had Lewis spent a couple of days wandering around the countryside before getting picked up by a German patrol.
Brandt returns to Brussels and is treated to a meal by Kessler. This is a fascinating scene, not least for the way that Brandt behaves (in a very jolly and hyperactive manner). Seemingly shrugging off the death of his wife and son as matters of no consequence, he then playfully begins to mock Kessler's liaison with Madeline. The reason for doing so is obvious – it's Brandt's way of telling Kessler that whilst others may gossip about his totally innocent relationship, he doesn't (and hopes in turn that Kessler doesn't read anything into the meetings he's had with known anti-Hitler officers).
Given that Brandt earlier confessed to being somewhat wary of Kessler, it's strange that he decided to be quite so blunt. But maybe it's a sign that he's not thinking clearly.
Matters come to a head for him during his interrogation (or debriefing, as he calls it) of Lewis. It begins amicably enough, in his trademark friendly style (something which Kessler has long derided). But a still grieving Brandt eventually loses control and takes out his frustration on Lewis. The few minutes leading up to his sudden outburst of violence are mesmerising – it's framed as a tight two-shot of Brandt and Lewis, which slowly closes in on Brandt as his anger increases.
The Big One is Michael Culver's episode and he doesn't disappoint.
Secret Army – Little Old Lady (22nd November 1978)
November 20, 2020 November 7, 2020 archivetvmusings BBC Drama - 1970's	andrew robinson, angela richards, bernard hepton, secret army
Wing Commander Kelso (Andrew Robertson) is required back in Britain as soon as possible. But it won't be easy to move him – as he sustained severe facial burns when his plane crashed. There are ways though, but will Kelso agree?
The second series of Secret Army has already suffered from some melodramatic music cues, but there's several in today's episode which take the biscuit (especially the one during the opening few minutes). Rather than helping to create tension, their over the top nature somewhat dissipates the mood.
Although Albert briefly escapes from the Candide to meet Kelso, he otherwise remains pretty much rooted to the spot. But Hepton does have some decent scenes today, which makes a nice change (he's been somewhat underused so far during this second series). Albert's love for the Candide is displayed after someone drops a bomb into the middle of the dining room (luckily it doesn't go off). More than helping the airmen to escape, more than his relationship with Monique, you do get the sense that Albert's first love is the Candide – mainly because of the money it makes him.
Albert's close fraternisation with the likes of Kessler hasn't gone unnoticed, hence the bomb. We never discover if it was a dummy or whether it had a faulty fuse. But in story terms that doesn't really matter as it serves to shake everyone up – especially Madeline, who is feeling isolated during Kessler's absence. She latches onto Monique and the pair strike up a hesitant friendship – encouraged by Albert (who can see the benefits) and despised by Max (who has no love for collaborators).
One running theme throughout the episode is Madeline's fur coat, which she gives to Monique. She decides to wear it when taking Kelso down the line and gifts it to him as a parting present (he later throws it away). Amazingly it's found by a German soldier and Brandt mentions it to Kessler. Could this be a clue that leads Kessler a step closer to discovering that the Candide is the headquarters of Lifeline? Presumably not, but you never know ….
Andrew Robertson gives a solid performance as Kelso. Despite notching up over fifty flying missions, Kelso eschews the aura of a hero – maintaining that he's simply been lucky. His abrasive nature means that initially he clashes with Monique, but in a not terribly surprising plot twist they part on much better terms.
Things get a little odd mid way through the episode when Kelso decides, for no good reason, to hop off the train he and Natalie are travelling on. Partly this seems to have been done so that Kelso (a locomotive expert) can pinch another train and go chugging down the track. Commandeering a steam engine is not exactly the thing do to if you're trying to keep a low profile.
Later safely ensconced with Sophie and Madeline (two old ladies who we've met before), Kelso is then introduced to Louis-Victor Condé (David King). An experienced actor, he uses his knowledge to instruct Kelso how to masquerade as a woman (as a female he'll be able to use heavy make up which will disguise his scars). The scene where Louis-Victor fashions a tablecloth into a baby and proceeds to demonstrate the art of the actor is another of those odd moments. It's certainly an unusual scene for SA.
Francois pops up again. He continues to be Lifeline's least interesting member as either he's fretting that Natalie's in danger or he's embracing her heartily once she returns. Max doesn't have a great deal to do, but Stephen Yardley's aura of simmering danger is put to good use – particularly when Albert is carted off by the Gestapo. Albert returns later – shaken, but unharmed – although Max continues to brood.
Angela Richards probably comes off best, script wise. Not only does she share a fascinating two-hander with Hazel McBride which helps to bulk up both their characters, but later there's a handful of strong scenes between Monique and Kelso (who by now is thawing somewhat).
Little Old Lady lacks many moments of real tension, but David Crane's script is a good character piece and, apart from a few minor plot niggles, works well.
Secret Army – Guests at God's Table (29th November 1978)
November 26, 2020 November 9, 2020 archivetvmusings BBC Drama - 1970's	bernard hepton, secret army, stephen yardley
A badly wounded airman has been found and hidden by a group of street children. Desperate for food and clothing, they attempt to sell him for a handful of Christmas treats ….
Given that a sense of repetition is unavoidable (oh look, it's another important airman who has to be returned to Britain as quickly as possible) it's always good when the series does something a little different.
The Group Captain (played by Mark Taylor) remains mute throughout – only occasionally opening his eyes and managing a smile before slumping back into unconsciousness. So since the focus isn't on him (we don't even learn his name) it can instead be directed towards the four grubby children who've found him.
They're led by Wim (Keith Jayne). Easily the most experienced actor of the four, by this point Jayne had already racked up credits in a number of popular series (Upstairs Downstairs, Survivors, Angels, Rumpole of the Bailey, etc). Marie-Clare (Rachel Beasley) is his trusted lieutenant, with both taking it in turns to look after the two younger children – Bobo and Gaby (John Nani and Natasha Green).
Throughout the story there are numerous reminders that winter is really biting – with things made especially hard by the reduced rations and lack of fuel (Albert has secured a coal supply, but only because he was willing to pay way over the odds). Even the Germans aren't immune to these cutbacks, with Kessler doing his best to eke some warmth out of his office fire.
Despite this, Monique and Natalie remain in a festive mood – even more so when the demands of the children reaches them. The items they request – clothing, jelly, a doll, etc – are piffling (in total, about the cost of a bottle of wine). So once the reluctant Albert gives the go-ahead, they begin to assemble the box of goodies with glee (Monique even going so far as to raid the till to give them a little extra cash!).
Throughout these scenes, Albert finds himself in the role of a stern father (with Monique and Natalie as a couple of unruly children) but there's a sign that his bark is worse than his bite.When no-one is looking, he takes some notes from his wallet and adds it to the cash already pilfered from the till.
All this is quite low-key and touching, and that's how the first half of the episode plays out (as a nice character piece, bereft of tension). But as we reach the conclusion of the story a sense of danger and anxiety begins to build.
Key scene of the episode, in terms of character development amongst the regulars, occurs between Kessler and Brandt. Kessler is concerned about Brandt's excessive intake of alcohol, but Brandt is more concerned about the rumours he's heard regarding German atrocities in the East. That the pair choose to have a row in the middle of the Candide only adds a little extra spice – as does the fact that after Kessler leaves, Monique (with Albert's blessing) shares a drink with Brandt. Albert's smug expression makes it plain that there could be a weakness to be exploited here.
Max continues to be a mild topic of conversation, with the others wondering what he gets up to when he's not with them. The audience has long known about his Communist sympathies, but the other Lifeline members remain ignorant – for now.
Max keeps a watching brief on the children – even after they've handed over the airman – much to Albert's puzzlement. Although when it's revealed that Max was an orphan himself, things become clearer. The episode's conclusion – a snow-covered Max gives the children some money before being forced by the Germans to move on – means that things end on a slightly hopeful note. Although with food and fuel becoming scarcer and scarcer, the situation still looks bleak for them.
Guests at God's Table is a totally studio-bound story, but a well designed street set helps to give the "outdoor" scenes some depth. It's another strong script from John Brason, SA's most prolific writer.

Weisburd (también conocido como El Bravo) es una localidad del departamento Moreno, provincia de Santiago del Estero, Argentina.

Se sitúa en el noreste de la provincia de Santiago del Estero, dentro de la Región Chaqueña, es una llanura boscosa, sin cursos de agua natural como ríos o arroyos.

Población
Cuenta con , lo que representa un incremento del 21,3% frente a los  del censo anterior.

Su población originaria se mezcló con el español de la era colonial dando lugar a mestizaje. Luego llegarían inmigrantes italianos y sirio-libaneses, conformando una población de más de 1800 habitantes.

Flora
Especies propias y características de esa región: quebracho colorado y blanco, algarrobo blanco y negro, itín y mistol, entre otras.

Fauna
La fauna autóctona está conformada principalmente por guasunchos, iguanas y zorros.

Toponimia
En honor a su fundador.

Historia
 1854, el gobierno provincial instala una línea de fortines: puestos militares y verdaderas Colonias Rurales.
 1895 y 1898, Adolfo Ruiz, gobernador de Santiago del Estero, analiza atraer a capitalistas a una provincia rica por naturaleza. Se fundarían pueblos en regiones inhóspitas, con monte impenetrable de valiosas maderas. Así, aparece el "Sindicato de Capitalistas" para adquirir tierras, y proyectos de inversiones.
 1901, llegan a la región inversionistas para instalar establecimientos forestales, pero el monte impenetrable, la falta de agua, de caminos y de infraestructura de transporte inviabilizaban los emprendimientos.
 1902, Ernesto Tornquist, banquero y representante del Banco Belga de Préstamos Territoriales, el Banco de Ambéres, la Caja Hipotecaria Amberes, con fuertes capitales se hace cargo personalmente de la compra e instrumentación de la instalación del Ferrocarril para esta región, viaja a Amberes, puerto de Bélgica, y allí constituye la Sociedad Belga-Argentina de Ferrocarriles. El archivo histórico de Ferrocarriles Argentinos testimonia que el ferrocarril "Ramal Industrial", se inaugura el 5 de julio de 1904, fecha clave para el nacimiento de otra ciudad, Quimilí, como un pueblo estable con intensa actividad forestal basada en la explotación de madera de quebracho y de tanino. Al año de existencia, ya se desplegaba una intensa actividad forestal destinada a la obtención de durmientes, postes de alambrado y leña. El ferrocarril se constituyó así en pieza fundamental del desarrollo, de transporte de viajeros, de proveedor de agua, de vida para todos los pueblos que recorría la región. El ferrocarril permitió la instalación de pueblos estables, pero con el devenir histórico, los cambios de política de nuestro país y la paralización del mismo, muchos se convirtieron en pueblos fantasmas.
 1941, Israel Weisburd inaugura su fábrica de tanino, con una gran demanda por la guerra mundial. Con un edificio de 1 ha de ladrillo vista, techos de cinc, maderas, y su chimenea espectacular; las formaciones ferroviarias ingresaban directamente por el portón de la fábrica. Su capacidad era de 6.000 T/año, y por más de 12 años funcionó continuamente con tres turnos diarios. 3.500 obreros trabajaban en sus tres turnos rotativos, alojados en casas de material, tejas rojas separadas con costaneras blancas en medio de un tupido bosquecillo de frondosos árboles. Cuando los ingleses se retiran absolutamente de las provincias para hacer tanino de Mimosa asiática, a un precio mucho más bajo, arrastran en agonía a esta fábrica, que quebró en 1961.

U.S. congressmen, former CIA director to testify in support of Kentucky hemp bill
FRANKFORT, Ky. — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, U.S. Reps. John Yarmuth and Thomas Massie, former Director of Central Intelligence R. James Woolsey (of the Clinton Administration), and Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer will testify next week in support of an industrialized hemp bill.
Industrial hemp is a fiber and oil seed crop with a wide variety of uses. Hemp fibers have been used to manufacture hundreds of products that include twine, paper, construction materials, carpeting and clothing.
The Senate Agriculture Committee will hear the testimony Monday, Feb. 11 at 11 a.m. in Room 131 of the Capitol Annex in Frankfort. Senate Bill 50, sponsored by Sen. Paul Hornback, R-Shelbyville, establishes a framework to re-introduce industrial hemp into Kentucky's agri-economy if and when the federal government acts to legalize it.
Immediately following the vote on SB 50, the group will move to Room 154 of the Capitol Annex to take questions from the media.
The bill has support from several groups and legislators. Its biggest critics are Operation UNITE, the Kentucky Narcotic Officers' Association and the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police.
Operation UNITE said industrial hemp production in Kentucky is not economically sound, that it would impose an unnecessary financial burden on the state and could facilitate future efforts to legalize its cousin – marijuana. Police groups also say the legalization and growth of hemp in Kentucky would impede law enforcement officers' marijuana eradication efforts, because "the plants are indistinguishable to the eye," said Tommy Loving, executive director of the Kentucky Narcotic Officers' Association.
The Kentucky Industrialized Hemp Commission says Kentucky has the perfect climate and soil to produce industrial hemp, and the farmers to grow it. Comer believes the crop could be a great economic boon to Kentucky.
The group recently commissioned an economic impact study to be performed by the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. It hopes such a study could have an impact on the discussion at the federal level to legalize industrial hemp.

According to officials, Sharma would also meet people who came from West Pakistan immediately after Partition in 1947 and settled in Jammu. There are nearly three lakh such people.
Jammu: The Centre's special envoy on Kashmir, Dineshwar Sharma, on Friday visited Jagti area here, the largest township of the displaced Kashmiri Pandits, and met people to understand their problems.
He visited several households in the area where people apprised him of their problems, officials said. Sharma, who visited Srinagar and Jammu earlier this month, will be in the state for the next four days.
Sharma, a former Intelligence Bureau chief, was appointed the Centre's interlocutor on October 23 to hold talks with all stakeholders in an effort to find lasting peace in parts of Kashmir.
Sharma will also visit the "ground zero" of unrest in south Kashmir's Pulwama and Anantnag districts, they said. The high point of his visit will be his interactions with youths and students in Pulwama and Anantnag, the officials added.
These districts were the epicentre of unrest following the encounter killing of Hizbul Mujahideen's poster boy Burhan Wani on July 8 last year.
Over 11,500 cases against stone pelters have been registered since July last year following Wani's death. Of these, over 4,500 youths were first-time stone pelters.
In a bid to resolve the Valley's electricity crisis, especially during winters, Sharma also took the initiative of providing additional 300 MW to Kashmir this year.
Attempts are being made to ensure round-the-clock electricity supply by the beginning of winter next year, the officials said.

Popular comedian Baba Suwe is dead
A popular Nigerian comedian Babatunde Omidina better known as Baba Suwe is dead.

Omidina began acting in 1971 but came into the limelight after he featured in a movie titled, Omolasan, a film produced by Obalende.
He became more popular after he featured in Iru Esin, produced by Olaiya Igwe in 1997. He had featured and produced several Nigerian movies such as Baba Jaiye jaiye, a movie that featured Funke Akindele and Femi Adebayo, the son of the veteran actor Adebayo Salami.

State asks feds to stop Rover work
By Shane Hoover GateHouse Ohio Media
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency wants federal regulators to halt Rover Pipeline from boring beneath the Tuscarawas River until the company can show it won't lose drilling fluid underground. Ohio EPA Director Craig Butler made the request Friday in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission after Rover's attempt to stem the loss with casing and cement failed at the Bethlehem Township drilling site. Rover had lost 146,000 gallons of drilling fluid down the pilot hole as of Jan. 11, according to Ohio EPA. "Obviously, they're in a problem area and the approved fixes were not successful and, then, these temporary fixes were not successful," Butler said. "Rather than just continue to put a Band-Aid on this, we think they need to stop (and) come up with a permanent solution before they're allowed to proceed." There is no evidence of drilling fluid leaking at the surface or contaminating private wells, but Rover's underground losses put at risk a nearby wetland and groundwater, Butler said. "Just because it's not coming to the surface does not mean it's not a problem," he said. Drilling engineers will need to come up with a fix, but it could mean drilling deeper or in a different spot, Butler said. Messages seeking comment were left Friday with spokeswomen for FERC and Rover. Rover is an interstate natural gas pipeline project, and the portion that crosses Stark, Carroll and Tuscarawas counties consists of two 42-inch diameter pipelines. One of the two mainlines is finished and carrying natural gas. The other is under construction. Butler said the agency was concerned the underground fluid loss could cause a large surface spill. In April, 2 million gallons of drilling fluid pumped underground surfaced in a wetland next to the river and led FERC to suspend some boring work temporarily. Cleanup was complicated when inspectors discovered the clay-based slurry was tainted with diesel fuel. The source of the contamination remains under investigation by FERC. According to Ohio EPA, Rover attributed the April spill to a build up of pressure from the loss of drilling fluids over time. Texas-based Energy Transfer is building the $4.2 billion Rover Pipeline, which will carry 3.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day from the Utica and Marcellus shales to markets in Canada and the United States. The state is suing Rover in Stark County Common Pleas Court over multiple environmental violations during pipeline construction.


This photograph taken on February 7, 2018, shows the production of BEREG-KIT for drug and doping control, at Berlinger AG facility in Ganterschwil, which are scheduled to be used for the collection of urine samples at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said February 1, 2018, that it had confirmed that new generation drug-testing kits could be susceptible to tampering and recommended use of an older model at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. With the Winter Games due to open on February 9, the International Olympic Committee had asked the agency to look into the matter after a laboratory in Cologne reported the newer bottles could be opened after being frozen. The glass containers had been touted as the next generation of sample bottles since being released last year, part of the ongoing effort to avoid a repeat of the Russian doping scandal that dogged the 2014 Winter Olympics and still reverberates today. But WADA said the older BEREG-KIT 2016 — released for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro — should be used instead.
WASHINGTON — U.S. lawmakers introduced a bill on Tuesday that would make it a crime to use or distribute performance-enhancing drugs while competing in international sports events.
Penalties would include fines of up to $250,000 for individuals and prison sentences of up to 10 years for those who make, distribute or use banned substances at international events, such as the Olympics.
Other countries, including Germany, Italy and Kenya, have similar laws. U.S. authorities have long been hamstrung by limited legal options to prosecute doping cheats.
