Darren, the founder of A G Bell Consultancy has more than 16 years' experience in the telecoms industry. During this time Darren has worked for one of the largest mobile network in the UK, telecoms resellers and an international cutting edge telecom provider. We provide a cost reduction service to our clients. This is done through the analysis of mobile phone contracts. Our independence and industry knowledge often enables us to help our clients save money across all of their contracts.
At A G Bell Consultancy, our telecommunications specialists offer a range of affordable solutions designed to meet the needs of your growing business. Whether you're interested in improving your business telecom needs, A G Bell Consultancy brings you the best products and services that connect you to the world today.
Telecoms costs are both substantial and difficult to manage. Many organisations receive hundreds of invoices and it is almost impossible to check each individual invoice. As a result, errors are made and costs increase.
With our in-depth telecom knowledge we lower our client's telecommunication costs significantly while allowing them to focus on their main business.
Our service starts with an audit of your current contracts and tariffs, followed by a benchmarking exercise to validate the fit when compared to what your current operator should be providing and the wider market has to offer.
From this, we will identify how much you could save (typically in the region of 25%), often through no change at all.
All we need is a copy of at least 3 months bills, a copy of your existing contract (including tariffs) and we will do the rest. Once we have analysed them all, we will be able to confirm the available savings and options.

Emerging from decades of conflict, Timor-Leste became the first new sovereign state of the 21st century in May 2002. All public infrastructure including roads, ports and airports, water and sanitation systems, and government facilities were either non-existent, destroyed or severely dilapidated. There were also severe shortages of human capital; few Timorese had government experience or were equipped with adequate skills for professional services or business, and the general level of formal education of the population was very low. Timor-Leste's institutional frameworks were also exceptionally weak, with the country having undergone a series of markedly different institutional regimes in recent times. Extreme poverty and hunger were widespread and conflict and violence were ongoing threats.
Today, Timor-Leste is a more peaceful, democratic nation and while poverty levels remain very high, considerable progress has been made in improving living standards. The proportion of Timorese living in poverty declined from 50.4% in 2007 to an estimated 41.8% in 2014. At the internationally comparable extreme poverty line of $1.90 (in 2011 purchasing power parity dollars), poverty in Timor-Leste fell from 47.2% to 30.3% over the same period.
While Timor-Leste has succeeded in saving the proceeds of its natural resource endowment, the key challenges now are how to increase the productivity and effectiveness of government spending, and to ensure the natural environment is preserved as an important economic and social resource for future generations.
In a young country with a fast-changing political and social landscape, there is a need to focus on improving institutions that create the enabling environment for good policy-making, economic prosperity and inclusivity.
In February 2013, the World Bank Group approved its first Country Partnership Strategy for Timor-Leste. This strategy, developed in consultation with various stakeholders, guides the World Bank Group's program between the 2013 and 2018 fiscal years.
The new Country Partnership Framework (2019-2023) is currently being developed, following the publication of the first Systematic Country Diagnostic report in late 2018.
1. Improving the management and delivery of services in education, health and nutrition, and social protection. The World Bank Group will help build the capacity of the government to deliver services to create an educated, healthy, employable and less vulnerable population. In particular, the Bank will focus on supporting decentralized service delivery in health and education and improving the targeting and impact of social protection programs.
2. Building core infrastructure to connect communities to markets. This strategic area will develop core infrastructure to improve access to services, employment and markets, and to facilitate efficient and reduced-cost movement of people and goods. Support in this area will include lending, technical assistance, as well as investment and advisory services, and will set the stage for public-private partnerships for major infrastructure.
3. Supporting economic development for a non-oil economy. The World Bank Group will assist Timor-Leste to build the foundations for a non-oil economy that can eradicate poverty, create jobs, and improve livelihoods. It will emphasize development of a productive agriculture sector and support private investment and reduced transaction costs for business, including tourism. This work also focuses on districts that are crossed by Timor-Leste's road corridors to maximize the economic impact of road improvements, demonstrating a more integrated path for rural development.
4. Strengthening institutions for quality of spending. This cross-cutting theme will focus on strengthening institutions to improve the quality of spending, both across government and in the specific sectors addressed by the Country Partnership Strategy. All activities in the strategy will contribute, directly or indirectly, to improving the quality of spending of government ministries. Through improvements in institutional capacity, the World Bank will support the government to efficiently execute its substantial capital investment, improve the quality of planning through better use of data, and strengthen systems to prepare for budget support in subsequent Country Partnership Strategy periods.
Climate resilient infrastructure: Poor road conditions mean that for many people in Timor-Leste, travel by road can be time consuming, uncomfortable, unsafe and expensive. Without reliable access to roads, people cannot reach schools, hospitals or markets when they need to.
The World Bank's Dili to Ainaro Road rehabilitation project is currently restoring a vital 110 kilometers of road corridor, improving access from the North to the South of the island and connecting the districts of Dili, Aileu and Ainaro, which jointly account for a third of the country's population.
Section 1 of the road is now complete, providing a transport corridor road more resilient to weather events and landslides. Work is well underway in other sections of the road, with local farmers and coffee growers benefiting from better access to markets.
Disaster risk management: The World Bank is helping communities along the Dili-Ainaro Road, one of Timor-Leste's most vital mountain highways, reduce the impacts of natural disasters – in particular recurring landslides and consequent road closures – through the Community-Based Disaster Risk Management Project.
This project is training community members from 26 villages in disaster risk management, with comprehensive village-level disaster management plans being prepared, supported by small–scale construction and agriculture projects that aim to reduce disaster risks.
Nutrition: Working with local partners, the World Bank has completed implementing the four-year Community Driven Nutrition Improvement Program in Baucau and Viqueque. The Program has improved nutrition practices for households with children in over 300 villages. Overall 4,500 children and 5,000 mothers have benefited from the program.
With many thousands of young people missing out on completing their education due to Timor-Leste's long and brutal conflict, through the World Bank-funded Second-Chance Education Project, more than 1,600 young people have now completed recognized school equivalency programs.
In addition, to empower communities and support their learning needs, the project also supported the creation of nine Community Learning Centers in eight districts across Timor-Leste. The World Bank has also supported the government to develop materials for teacher training for early childhood development and in conducting early grade reading assessments, a key tool for designing an appropriate curriculum for Timor-Leste.
Tackling poverty: The World Bank assisted Timor-Leste's Directorate General Statistics to design and implement the 2014 Timor-Leste Living Standard Survey. The Gender-Sensitive Insight of Poverty Mapping for Timor-Leste is a new set of poverty statistics that will enable governments, civil society and development partners to pinpoint areas where development outcomes are lagging.
Telecommunications: The World Bank has strengthened the institutional and technical capacity of the Information Communications & Telecommunications (ICT) Unit in the Prime Minister's Office in relation to policy development, implementation oversight and evaluation, as well as the capacity that the government needs to oversee Timor-Leste's newly-liberalized telecommunications sector. Through this support, the government of Timor-Leste requested assistance to establish an ICT policy that addresses all aspects of ICT in Timor-Leste society, including telecommunications, broadcasting and convergent services and their appropriate regulation.
Agriculture: The World Bank is supporting Government with the Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project to increase the productivity and marketed production of smallholder agriculture in selected geographical locations in Timor-Leste.
Economic monitoring: The Timor-Leste economic report is a six-monthly publication that highlights recent economic trends and emerging policy challenges in the country. The reports draw on ongoing economic monitoring and analysis undertaken by the World Bank team with a view to supporting evidence-based policy making.

The Importance of Being the Solution: Transitioning Careers and a Journey Through University – Meet Daniel Morris
http://traffic.libsyn.com/blindabilities/DanielMorris20F.mp3
Daniel Morris may have made the big transition from Australia to Montreal, Canada for love, however, Daniel's transition from one career into another was a whole new world in itself.
In this podcast Daniel talks about what it was like to return to College and into his Masters program. The challenges he met and overcame.
Daniel also gives some great information on nutrition and health as well as the scholarship program that he developed for others and to create opportunities for future leaders. Daniel recognizes that he may have been the first blind person to graduate in his field and encourages others to go where their passions lead them. Be the first, follow your passion, and be the best that you can be.
Blind abilities team member, Nick Dambrosio, interviews Daniel Morris in their hometown of Montreal. Although Canada and the United States are separated by a border, there is still a lot of common ground when it comes to accessibility. And Daniel has a lot to share from his experiences and knowledge gained over the last few years. So join Daniel and Nick as they discuss the challenges and successes in transitioning to college and to take the approach of being the solution rather than being the problem.

Current Moroccan Consumer Boycott is Threatening the Political Status Quo
Imara Crooms
A recent Moroccan consumer boycott is demonstrating the real economic and political consequences of citizen action. Since the call to action first appeared in late April, between 40 and 60 percent of Moroccans have participated in an impressive and politically effective internet and social media-driven boycott of three major national businesses based on their connections to influential economic and political figures.
The ongoing boycott of Afriquia (an oil and gas conglomerate), Centrale Danone (a Moroccan subsidiary of the French multinational Danone) and Sidi Ali (a popular brand of mineral water) is rooted in protest and outrage against corruption and money in politics, a cause which resonates not only in Morocco but also around the world. Price hikes during the lead up to Ramadan on typical commodities initially triggered this protest against perceived corruption and inequality.
There is concern amongst the economic sector over the boycott's potential for medium to long-term harm to the Moroccan economy. One of the targets of the protest, Centrale Danone, reported more than a 50 percent loss of market share for the first half of 2018, driving recent concessions on product prices, and a Facebook message from the CEO of the parent company to the Moroccan people. Recently, after months of silence, Morocco's boycotted mineral water company Les Eaux Minerales d'Oulmes spoke officially on a drop in its revenues in 2018 tied to the Sidi Ali brand.
So far, the political response has been inconsistent. Several officials have released vague public statements denouncing the boycott or dismissing those who participate, and others have not responded at all. These actions have reinvigorated support for the boycott and reinforced the perception of politicians and officials as wealthy disconnected elites.
Official company responses are improving with time as the boycott continues without losing steam, and economic harm becomes more evident. For example, though Afriquia gas has not spoken publicly on the boycott's impact to date, the Moroccan government is currently finalizing a plan to limit fuel prices in an attempt to respond to the boycott.
The protests have also claimed several political officials' careers and threatened others. Former Governance Minister Lahcen Daoudi of PJD resigned after he joined a sit-in against the major boycott campaign in early June. Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Secretary General of RNI, renowned businessman and rising national star Aziz Akhannouch has faced public calls to resign from his party over his ties to boycotted company Afriqua, but thus far has remained in his position.
So far, the boycott campaign threatens the influence and stability of the current political status quo and even has the potential to influence national policy and international relations.
What has driven the impact and widespread adoption of the movement so far?
Unlike other contemporary protests in the country, this boycott benefits from being an internet driven movement, the overt acts of which are easy to understand and participate in, allowing for greater inclusivity.
What makes the boycott resonate so strongly with every-day Moroccan citizens?
The nation has long struggled with inequality, access to resources and a lack of opportunities. Pundits, academics, and politicians regularly speak of Morocco as a nation at two different speeds, presenting different opportunities and rules for Moroccans of differing social classes. The peoples' lack of confidence in the ability to access opportunities has the potential to undermine not only faith in politics but more broadly faith in institutions. Both long-running protests over perceived government neglect in the Rif region, and also the ongoing scandals of suspected widespread cheating on the baccalaureate exam serve as concerning reminders of the importance of faith in those institutions.
So, if those in power hear the protests and understand the people's concerns, what is the next step? Who can ultimately respond to Moroccans' demands?
Inequality is a challenge for both developed and developing economies around the world. The ties between wealth and socio-political power creates a hard barrier for democratic principles such as equality under the law. These issues are immensely difficult ones to solve, but the first step is to recognize the problem and speak to public concerns. Political parties are well suited to respond to these challenges, and it will be interesting to observe who answers the call in Morocco.

Planning principles for the airport site BER
In 1996, the states of Berlin and Brandenburg and the federal government agreed in the so-called consensus resolution to concentrate the region's air traffic at the Schönefeld site. With the planning approval decision in 2004 and the confirmation of the decision by the Federal Administrative Court in 2006, the planning basis for the expansion is available. The planning assumption for the 2004 zoning decision and the infrastructure to be developed were forecasts for 360,000 aircraft movements and 30 million passengers per year, without setting an upper limit. If the forecasts change, the infrastructure must be adjusted.
In the years leading up to 2019, it was observed that passenger numbers increased significantly more than the number of flight movements. The reasons for this are significantly higher load factors as well as further developments of aircraft types with higher seating capacity. Whereas the 2004 zoning decision had calculated an average of approx. 83 passengers per flight movement, in 2017 an average of approx. 121 passengers travelled per flight movement. This trend will intensify. While Berlin Airports has been handling more passengers since 2016 than assumed in the zoning decision at the time, the 360,000 aircraft movements will not be reached until well after 2030.
Despite the current uncertainties and the decline in passenger numbers due to the Corona pandemic, it can be assumed that normality and growth will return and consequently the infrastructure will have to be further developed. The orderly development of infrastructure requires considerable lead times in strategic planning and planning law adjustments before project orders can be issued for implementation. In this context, the crisis can be seen as an opportunity to develop the continuation of FBB's strategic infrastructural model in scenarios and to take the necessary development steps on a building basis and with a sufficient time horizon. The Master Plan BER 2040 is also necessary in times of crisis as a strategic guiding principle for infrastructure development.
The first adjustments to the landside terminal infrastructure were made with the construction of Terminal 2. The airside infrastructure has also already been optimised.
In summer 2018, the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Aviation Authority (Obere Luftfahrbehörde Berlin-Brandenburg), as the planning approval authority, announced that the BER master plan, as an internal strategy paper of FBB, would not trigger a new planning approval procedure in its entirety. On this basis, FBB will independently apply for effective and definable amendments to the planning approval for the respective measures required. The competent planning approval authority will then decide on the admissibility of the project in terms of technical planning.
You can find all documents relating to the planning approval at www.lbv.brandenburg.de (german).

On January 4, 1859, sixty-six senators representing thirty-three states moved in procession into a large and beautiful Chamber, the centerpiece of a new Senate wing built in the 1850s.
1859 Senate Chamber 110th Congress
Since 1789, when just twenty-two senators convened the first Senate, the number of senators had tripled as new states joined the Union and the Senate's old Chamber became crowded, noisy, and worn. News accounts of the event noted the solemn procession, the "finely proportioned" Chamber, and the colorful stained-glass ceiling. Spacious galleries accommodated up to 600 visitors and dignitaries. The Senate had a new home—a Chamber that would witness many historic debates, producing legislation that would reshape the nation.
Over the past 150 years, the Senate Chamber has undergone many changes. By the 1930s, age and decay threatened collapse of the old glass-paneled ceiling, and the Chamber's lighting and ventilation system needed modernizing. A mid-20th century renovation brought upgraded amenities and a clean, contemporary design. Cosmetic improvements in the 1980s provided a telegenic background as C-SPAN coverage of Senate proceedings began in 1986. Today, the Senate Chamber is a blend of old and new—of traditional and modern. It is a place where 19th-century mahogany desks and snuff boxes coexist with the computers and television cameras of the modern age.

Drafting prenuptial agreements, particularly for your high-asset clients, likely is a major part of your practice as a family law attorney. As always, here, too, the advanced financial knowledge and skills you gained by earning your CFL Designation for Divorce Practitioners allow you to competently handle whatever financial issues your clients wish to include in their respective prenups. Be careful, however, about including provisions regarding waiver of attorney's fees in the event of an eventual divorce, even if both parties wish to include such provisions. Such provisions could come back to haunt you if an original prenup client seeks your representation years later in his or her divorce.
The Supreme Court of Iowa recently addressed the issue of if, how, and to what extent a prenup waiver provision should in fact apply when the couple later divorces. The case was In Re the Marriage of Jodi Lynn Erpelding and Timothy John Erpelding.
The district court declined to give Jodi the attorney's fees for which she asked, stating that "[i]n the absence of any articulated public policy of the state of Iowa, the Court thinks it does not have authority to ignore the plain language of the parties' prenuptial agreement." Jodi appealed, arguing that the Iowa Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (IUPAA) prohibits premarital agreement provisions that waive the right to attorney's fees arising from issues of child custody, child support, and spousal support by virtue of the fact that it prohibits premarital agreements from limiting the right to child and spousal support themselves.
The court of appeals agreed with Jodi and reversed the district court's judgment, holding that "the provision in the Erpeldings' premarital agreement waiving [attorney] fees and costs is void and unenforceable as to child-related issues because it violates Iowa 'public policy by discouraging both parents from pursuing litigation in their child's best interests.'" Not surprisingly, Tim appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court.
Noting that the appropriate review standard of a denial of attorney's fees is one of abuse of discretion by the court, the Supreme Court interpreted Section 596.12 by comparing the provisions of the IUPAA, codified in Iowa Code Section 596.12, with the provisions of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) upon which the IUPAA was modeled.
The IUPAA explicitly protects the right to spousal support against waiver, whereas the UPAA explicitly does not.
The IUPAA imposes a duty on both parties to "execute all documents necessary to enforce the agreement," whereas the UPAA does not.
The IUPAA establishes more grounds for claims of unenforceability of premarital agreements than the UPAA.
[O]ur comparison of features of the IUPAA and the UPAA reveals the IUPAA's tendency toward providing more protection to vulnerable parties. As children and financially dependent spouses are vulnerable parties, it is logical to conclude we should interpret IUPAA provisions explicitly protecting children or dependent spouses consistently with such provisions' purpose: the protection of vulnerable parties.

Good workout. Great start to the day!
Everyone was so kind and it was a really encouraging and comfortable atmosphere!
Staff was very friendly and motivational, however the class/workout was not as intense or as difficult as I had hoped for. Towards the very end of class, I did break a sweat, but feel like this class may be more fitting for people at the beginning of their fitness journey.

WOW, so another year has already gone by. It's been an eventful year to say the least, not much in the way of hair though. I'll explain.
To be honest, I've found it worked out better if I just left my hair alone this year. For the most part, I had twists, yarn twists (y'all know how those turned out ... itching n' itching some more. I'm still mad at that, but that's another thread altogether) or bunned. I can safely say that I've made it past BSL despite having cut off quite a bit around this time last year.
I hardly DC, maybe once every 3-4 months.
I now wash once every 2 weeks - 1 month.
Moisturizing maybe 1-2 times a month.
I pretty much just do whatever whenever. It's been largely due to the crazy number of work hours I've been doing. When I do have time off, hair is the last thing on my mind.
I'm still determined to grow longer and will continue to protective style. Since the yarn braids or yarn twists didn't work out for me,I think I may try the marley braids two strand twists. Here's to no itching in 2012!


The 1 day Emergency First Aid course was very thorough and I felt confident in applying the knowledge in a real situation.
I think it was really helpful for the trainer to show us the different epi-pens, asthma pumps etc. so we are familiar with them if we ever need to locate one for somebody.
Nothing negative tbh. The training was engaging and lots of hands on experience which will hopefully make it all 'stick'.
The presenter was engaging and approachable.
I really liked that we started with a discussion of the bystander effect. It reinforced as we learned the first aid responses that we should not be afraid to use them.


I was very lucky to be allowed to do some sketches in the Gordon Museum at King's College London, recently. I plan to do a series of pieces about the museum in the near future, but thought I'd share a small preview of some of the antique medical instruments I saw there. To the layperson, like myself, the collection is a fascinating array of mysterious implements, diagrams, specimens and language. More to come (when I've been back for more visuals).

Due to topography, routes within The Vale of Clwyd since early times have probably tended to run either north to south, along the axis of the vale, or at right-angles to this up the stream valleys leading onto or over the hills to either side, giving rise to a loosely gridded network of roads, tracks and footpaths. Because of the more poorly-drained ground along the valley separate north-south routes have also tended to develop linking communities on the slightly more elevated ground to either side of the vale, with only a limited number of river crossings joining the east and west sides of the valley.
Little is known about the earliest roads and paths in the vale. It is assumed that a major Roman road ran the length The Vale of Clwyd, linking military sites at Caer Gai near Bala and an assumed fort in the Corwen area with sites in the neighbourhood of Ruthin and St Asaph. The course of this road and its relationship with Roman settlements and possible military activity in the vale will no doubt be discovered in the future. Much of the basic network of modern roads, tracks and footpaths no doubt gradually developed linking early medieval and medieval nucleated settlements and urban centres, and no doubt become more and more complex during the later medieval and early post-medieval periods as the number of dispersed farmsteads and tenements multiplied. Again, relatively little is know of the early roads and bridges of these periods in the vale. Many of these early routes would have been unpaved and difficult to pass at certain seasons of the year, though several occurrences of the Welsh place-name element palmant ('pavement') may indicate early made-up roads.
Many of the modern roads and tracks on either side of the vale run in hollow-ways worn into the hillside, particularly those reaching farms and communities up the steeper slopes onto more elevated ground. Some of the hollow-ways are of considerable size and antiquity, the present road surfaces often reaching a depth of between 3-5m from the ground surface to either side, resulting from the erosion of many thousands of tons of soil and subsoil washed away further downhill by surface water over the course of many centuries. Even some of the roads on some of the flatter, lower-lying ground on the floor of the vale can be seen to be formed in hollow-ways, possibly in these cases partly dug out by hand. Many of these early routes have now become fossilized, having been paved and provided with road drains, though others still survive as green lanes.
Considerable improvements were made to road transport in the late 18th and particularly in early 19th century when new turnpike roads and numerous new stone bridges were built across rivers and streams, assisting trade as well as opening up the countryside to visitors. In 1801, Sir Richard Colt Hoare, the antiquarian, noted the construction of a new road through the vale 'now rendered passable for carriages . . . . by which many steep hills and much dreary country will be avoided'. The work was still not complete, however, and with some regret he noted that 'had I known so much of it had remained undone I should not have attempted it in my chaise, for I found the latter part of it as bad as the beginning was good'.
Road improvements continued throughout the late 18th and 19th-centuries, arched stone bridges replacing earlier timber bridges or fords and carried out hand in hand with drainage schemes and the construction of causeways across some of the wetter, lower-lying ground, all of which provide distinctive historic landscape elements throughout The Vale of Clwyd. A number of new main roads were created such as the new Wrexham to Ruthin road via the Nant y Garth, Llysfasi and Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, superseding the old road which ran through Graig-fechan, on the eastern side of the valley. In places this road, like a number of new or improved roads elsewhere in the vale, is superimposed upon earlier field systems. In some cases, as near Lleweni and Bachymbyd, bridges were built by private landowners in order to gain access to farmland on the opposite side of one of the major streams or rivers within the vale. New roads were built to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding urban centres at Ruthin and Denbigh and as late as the 1850s the course of the Corwen to Ruthin road was diverted around Castle Park at Ruthin, leaving the former road bridge across the Clywedog as a distinctive feature of the parkland.
The export of agricultural produce and minerals, the movement of passengers, and the importing of a wide range of commodities was greatly enhanced by the construction of the Corwen-Rhyl railway in the 1850s, with stations at Eyarth, Ruthin, Llanrhaeadr, and Denbigh. Connections were added to Mold by means of the Mold & Denbigh Junction Railway 1869 with a station at Bodfari and sidings for the Partington Steel & Iron Company at Bodfari in 1924. Though abandoned in the 1960s the railway still has a significant impact on the landscape in a number of historic landscape character areas, including the embankments and bridge abutments to the west of Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, the railway cuttings bounding the housing estates on the eastern sides of Ruthin and Denbigh, and the prominent embankment and bridge across the Clwyd near Pontruffydd Farm, to the north-east of Denbigh, as well as a number of former station buildings and gate-keepers cottages. Even where there are no earthworks survive, the course of the former railway is marked by the distinctive boundaries of the fields it once crossed or by the tracks which now run along it.
Few major changes were made to the rural road network in the 20th century, though improvements to the Denbigh to Ruthin road saw the creation of a number of lay-byes, the construction of the Llanrhaeadr bypass in 1971, cutting through the parkland around Llanrhaeadr Hall, giving rise to the demolition of the former lodge and the resiting of the lodge gates of the 1840s. One of the most distinctive changes, as elsewhere in Denbighshire, were the white-painted iron railings erected at numerous rural crossroads during the course of road widening schemes, which enhance the parkland character of a number of areas of the vale.
The visual impact of other 20th-century service industries, including telecommunications, water, sewerage and gas pipelines, has been relatively slight within the The Vale of Clwyd historic landscape areas, though significant valley-bottom palaeoenvironmental deposits were partly disturbed during pipeline construction in the early 1990s to the east of Denbigh.
Offa's Dyke Path, the national long-distance path runs for a considerable distance along the summit of the Clwydian hills along the eastern side of the historic landscape area. The footpath was created partly by the amalgamation of existing footpaths, crosses or runs close to a number of ancient monuments along the summit of the hill, including the Iron Age hillforts on Foel Fenlli, Moel Arthur and Penycloddiau. Erosion resulting from the large numbers of walkers, and more recently by mountain bikes, has resulted in repair works and diversions to the path in a number of areas, particularly where the path crosses steeper ground.

DAVID COVERDALE On TAWNY KITEAN's Death: 'I Didn't See That One Coming'
David Coverdale says that he was shocked to hear about the death of actress Julie E. "Tawny" Kitaen, who is best known in the rock world for her appearance in the band's video for "Here I Go Again".
While WHITESNAKE was working on it 1987 self-titled album, Coverdale started dating Kitaen, who had recently starred opposite Tom Hanks in the movie "Bachelor Party". Kitaen soon appeared in several of WHITESNAKE's music videos, including those for "Here I Go Again", "Is This Love" and "Still Of The Night". Footage of Kitaen writhing around on the hood of a Jaguar in the "Here I Go Again" clip has been called one of the most iconic — and sexiest — video moments ever filmed.
Coverdale discussed Kitaen's passing in a new interview with Meltdown of Detroit's radio station WRIF. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I got a text late at night, and I thought, 'Oh my God.' Really, to be honest, there had been no communication for over 30 years. I've been deeply invested, and continue to be invested, in my marriage to [my current wife] Cindy. I think it would have been different had Tawny and I had a child, but we didn't. And I sent my condolences out to her family and friends and made a modest public statement because it really wasn't my place to do anything else.
"As you know, Tawny is synonymous with WHITESNAKE, with MTV," he continued. "This iconic, amazing beauty who brought so much attention to my music. Once you go, 'Oh my God, she's gorgeous,' you go, 'Wow, the songs aren't bad either.'
"Yeah, so that was a shock — there was no question," David added. "I didn't see that one coming. But then, sadly, I'm losing a lot of people. At this age, it's so weird the amount of people I know who are checking out, privately or professionally. It's pretty crazy. But it's onwards and forwards — it has to be my philosophy."
Earlier this month, a spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff's Department in California said that Tawny's cause of death was dilated cardiomyopathy. The manner of death was ruled natural.
According to the spokesman, other significant conditions included mild coronary atherosclerosis (clogged arteries); mirtazapine (antidepressant), mirtazapine metabolite, alprazolam (Xanax), acetaminophen (Tylenol), pregabalin (nerve pain medication) and hydrocodone (opioid).
Kitaen died on May 7 at her home in Newport Beach, California.
Tawny's children — Wynter and Raine Finley, whom she shared with ex-husband, baseball player Chuck Finley — confirmed their mother's passing, writing in a statement: "We are heartbroken and saddened to announce the death of our mom. We just want to say thank you for all of you, her fans and her friends, for always showing her such support and love. You gave her life everyday. We miss her and love her and we know her legacy will live on forever."
In June 2020, Tawny told "Ouch, You're On My Hair" about how she ended up being featured in the WHITESNAKE videos: "Ironically, I started dating David. He was two million dollars in debt to David Geffen at that time. I was working and had more money than David at that time, so I kind of supported us a little. And when I heard the album and I was allowed to go in and help mix the album… You know how when you sing different tracks, they give you a piece of paper and you pick the word from the best track. So I was able to do that. And John Kalodner, who was the biggest A&R guy in the business, who works for David Geffen, in my 'E! True Hollywood Story' called me Yoko Ono — because I picked the album covers, I picked the single, I picked the photographer. I made the rule that no girls were allowed backstage, so the groupies must have hated me.
"I'll tell you how I came to be in the video," she continued. "Marty Callner, the director of all the WHITESNAKE videos, had it all planned out — had the girl, had everything. The night before the shoot, David said, 'Will you come with me to Marty, the director of the video's house? We have to go over the story boards.' So we went over to his Bel Air mansion, and he opens up the door, and without even saying hi or hello, he pointed at me and he said, 'You're her.' And I'm, like, 'I'm who?' And he said, 'You're the girl.' And I was already an actress. I had turned down a couple of bands from not being in their video, because I was an actress. 'I'm not gonna do a rock video. Are you kidding?' That was the mentality. But it was my boyfriend at the time's video, so I thought, 'All right, I've already helped my boyfriend on all the RATT album covers' — referring to her former boyfriend, late RATT guitarist Robbin Crosby — "why can't I help my boyfriend in his videos?' And so that's how it happened. And this poor girl got a call that she was no longer gonna be in it, and here I was."
In a 2019 interview with Consequence Of Sound, Coverdale confirmed that Kitaen was not the first choice for the female figure featured in the video. "Claudia Schiffer was supposed to be 'the WHITESNAKE woman,' when she was the Guess jeans girl," he said. "But that fell apart near the actual shoot. And I was taking Tawny out for dinner, when Marty Callner called me, and said, 'You have to stop by, we have problems.' We went to his house on the way to dinner, he opened the door, his jaw hit the floor — as you know, Tawny was an absolute beauty — and he said, 'That's her! She's the WHITESNAKE woman!' And I said, 'Marty, this is a friend of mine. She's an actress.' And she said, 'No, David. I'm happy to do it!' So, sorry Claudia — you did very well afterwards, too."
Coverdale and Kitaen tied the knot in 1989 but the union only lasted two years. Kitaen married Finley in 1997 and divorced him in 2002, not long after she was arrested for allegedly attacking her husband in their SUV a few blocks from their home. According to the Los Angeles Times, Kitaen pleaded not guilty to the charges of domestic violence, and the case was dismissed in 2003 after she attended court-mandated counseling. When she and Finley divorced, she released a statement saying she was being treated for a dependency on prescription drugs and vowed to become "the healthiest and the best mother possible" to her two daughters.
Prior to hooking up with Coverdale, Kitaen appeared in RATT's "Back For More" music video. She was also featured in several reality shows, including "The Surreal Life", "Botched" and "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew". She had several other run-ins with the law, including a charge for cocaine possession in 2006 and driving under the influence in 2009.
One of the Jaguars from the "Here I Go Again" video was dusted off for WHITESNAKE's clip for "Shut Up & Kiss Me", from 2019's "Flesh & Blood" album.
The day after Kitaen's passing, Coverdale tweeted: "Just woke up to some very sad, unexpected news… My sincere condolences to her children, her family, friends & fans…"

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition will be the first major home console in the disc-media era to ship without an optical drive, Microsoft has confirmed. The new system will launch on May 7 in the United States and bears such a resemblance to the existing Xbox One S that they share an identical outside shell and motherboard, only with a plastic blocker where the disc drive's slot used to be.
In an interview with Ars Technica, Microsoft's Platform and Devices GM Jeff Gattis confirmed an MSRP of $249, which includes the discless console (currently only in "bone white"), one matching Xbox One controller, an internal 1TB hard drive, and three bundled game-download codes: Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 3. This model will launch "in most Xbox One markets" on May 7, Microsoft says, and all existing Xbox One accessories will be compatible with the All-Digital Edition, owing to its identical motherboard.
Gattis explained that this price point will "pass the value of removing the disc drive onto the customer." I asked him, however, how he reckons that with the fact that, as of press time, most retailers list existing Xbox One S bundles (complete with at least one pack-in game) at a $249 price point.

August 3, 2008 | FDD's Long War Journal
Al Qaeda confirms WMD expert Abu Khabab killed in South Waziristan strike
Bill Roggio
Senior Fellow and Editor of FDD's Long War Journal
Abu Khabab, via the US Rewards for Justice website.
Al Qaeda has confirmed that Abu Khabab al Masri, the chief of the terror group's weapons of mass destruction program, was killed in an airstrike in South Waziristan earlier this week.
Khabab was one of the most wanted terrorists due to his experience, seniority, and expertise with bomb-making and chemicals and poisons. The US Rewards for Justice Program has a $5 million bounty out for the capture of Khabab.
Al Qaeda posted a statement on the network of jihadi web forums announcing Khabab's death, Reuters reported. The statement was signed by Mustafa Abu Yazid, al Qaeda's senior leader in Afghanistan. Yazid said Khabab left behind a multitude of followers trained to strike at the West.
The US military killed Khabab during a targeted strike on an al Qaeda safe house in the village of Zeralita in the Azam Warsak region of South Waziristan on July 28. At least three foreigner terrorists were reported among the six killed in the airstrike.
Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's second in command, is rumored to have been killed in the South Waziristan strike. But the reports are unconfirmed and the Taliban denied Zawahiri was anywhere near the site of the attack. US intelligence believes the reports are not credible.
Khabab is the third senior al Qaeda leader to have perished in Pakistan's lawless tribal regions.
On May 14, Abu Sulayman Jazairi, a senior Algerian operative for al Qaeda' s central organization who directed the groups external operations, was killed in an airstrike against a Taliban and al Qaeda safe house in the town of Damadola in Pakistan' s Bajaur tribal agency along with 13 associates. Jazairi is described as a senior trainer, an explosives expert, and an operational commander tasked with planning attacks on the West.
Abu Laith al Libi was killed in a US strike inside the North Waziristan tribal agency in Pakistan in late January. Al Libi was the leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and served as a chief spokesman for al Qaeda. Laith also commanded al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.
The US military has carried out at least three other strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban targets in the tribal areas this year. These hits include a strike that targeted Baitullah Mehsud in his hometown of Makeen on June 14, an attack on a compound run by Siraj Haqqani on March 16, and the bombing of a fortified fortified compound owned by Noorullah Wazir on March 12.
Background on Abu Khabab
Khabab has a long history of working with al Qaeda's secretive weapons of mass destruction program, which is known as al Zabadi, or 'œcurdled milk."
Khabab "operated a terrorist training camp at Derunta, Afghanistan where he provided hundreds of Mujahidin with hands-on training in the use of poisons and explosives," the Rewards for Justice Website states. "Since 1999, he has distributed training manuals that contain instructions for making chemical and biological weapons. Some of these training manuals were recovered by U.S. forces in Afghanistan."
Dan Darling reported on Khabab's history with the Egyptian military and al Qaeda for The Long War Journal in September 2005.
A former scientist in the Egyptian chemical weapons program, Khabab, turned against the government of Anwar Sadat. Khabab joined Ayman al Zawahiri's Egyptian Islamic Jihad, where he served as an explosives expert and poison trainer for the group.
After Egyptian Islamic Jihad merged with al Qaeda, he became the head of Project al Zabadi. The program largely focused on chemical and biological weapons, and devices to disperse the agents. Evidence of Project al Zabadi's operations has turned up throughout Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
The US military has targeted Khabab in the past. Abu Khabab and four other senior al Qaeda commanders were reported to have been killed in an airstrike in the town of Damadola in the Bajaur tribal agency in January 2006. The US military believed the safe house in Bajaur, which was run by Taliban chieftain Faqir Mohammed, was sheltering Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's second in command. Khabab and the other commanders were later found to be still alive.

Ronald Reagan's Racism Should Come as No Surprise
The historical amnesia that allows people to be surprised that Ronald Reagan was a racist does more than sanitize the image of a historical figure.
Jim Naureckas
Jul 31, 2019FAIR
In the wake of Ronald Reagan being discovered on the Nixon tapes calling African diplomats "monkeys" who are "still uncomfortable wearing shoes," the Washington Post (7/31/19) quotes Reagan's biographer saying there was "no hint that the president would hold the kinds of views he conveyed to Nixon."
"In all of my very careful research into his private papers, I never found an instance where I felt that Reagan was racist," claims Robert Spitz, author of Reagan: An American Journey. "Generally when someone says, 'I don't have a racist bone in my body,' I'm instantly skeptical, but in this case, after all my work, I found myself kind of nodding my head."
Says the Post: "Some of Reagan's most divisive policies--like embracing the apartheid government of South Africa and inventing the trope of the 'welfare queen'--may take on a different light now."
Paul Krugman wrote a good response to this nonsense--12 years ago, in 2007 (Conscience of a Liberal, 11/10/07):
When he went to Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1980, the town where the civil rights workers had been murdered, and declared that "I believe in states' rights," he didn't mean to signal support for white racists....
When he went on about the welfare queen driving her Cadillac, and kept repeating the story years after it had been debunked...it was all just an innocent mistake.
When, in 1976, he talked about working people angry about the "strapping young buck" using food stamps to buy T-bone steaks at the grocery store...the appearance that Reagan was playing to Southern prejudice was just an innocent mistake....
When Reagan declared in 1980 that the Voting Rights Act had been "humiliating to the South"...when Reagan intervened on the side of Bob Jones University, which was on the verge of losing its tax-exempt status because of its ban on interracial dating...when Reagan fired three members of the Civil Rights Commission...it was all an innocent mistake.
This is far from an exhaustive catalog of Reagan's race-baiting. When he ran for governor of California in 1966, he declared, "If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house, it is his right to do so." Spitz must have missed that one in all his fruitless search for Reagan's racist bone.
The historical amnesia that allows people to be surprised that Ronald Reagan was a racist does more than sanitize the image of a historical figure. If you imagine that Donald Trump invented the political technique of appealing to white supremacy, you're going to have a hard time figuring out an effective way to overcome it.

Pamela Anderson is speaking out after her former husband Jon Peters claimed he paid off her debt during their 12-day marriage.
Peters, 74, claimed in an email to Page Six on Monday that he "dropped everything" for Anderson, 52, including hundreds of thousands of dollars. But Anderson's team is claiming it never happened.
"These claims are not only entirely fabricated, they are ludicrous," a rep for Anderson said to Fox News on Tuesday. "Despite Mr. Peters' scurrilous and ongoing efforts to elicit a response from Ms. Anderson, she has no comment to provide and hopes he is well."
The "Baywatch" icon shocked fans last month when she revealed on Instagram she had tied the knot to Peters, her fifth husband, in a secret ceremony in Malibu, Calif. However, the duo split just 12 days later amid reports they never obtained a legal marriage license.
"She had almost $200,000 in bills and no way to pay it so I paid it and this is the thanks I get," Peters claimed in his email to Page Six.
After their split, a source told the outlet that Anderson had made a "terrible mistake" and found Peters to be "too controlling" to stay with. In his email, Peters referred to the actress' claims as "lies."
"There's no fool like an old fool," he continued.
In a statement to Fox News last month, Anderson explained the two put a delay on their marriage license.
"I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union. We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to reevaluate what we want from life and from one another," Anderson said via her rep.
"Life is a journey and love is a process," she said. "With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process."
"Thank you for respecting our privacy," she added.
At the time of their split, a source close to the couple told Fox News that their living situation is what caused a rift in their short-lived union.
"She's known Jon forever, but she never lived with him, contrary to some reports. And until you live with someone… Well, let's just say Pamela asked for a break. She is heading back to her compound in Ladysmith, Canada, to be with her family," said the source.
Anderson and Peters were both married four times previously, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Anderson was formerly married to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock and twice to Rick Saloman.
Peters had a 12-year affair with Barbra Streisand. The film veteran produced the 1976 version of "A Star is Born" that starred Streisand; he also produced the 2018 remake that featured Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
