DESCRIPTION: The story of the Polish II Corps has never been
adequately told before but the author has followed the story from
the invasion of Poland by Russia and Germany, the imprisonment of
Polish soldiers by the Soviets, the efforts by the Allies free them
when the Soviets were invaded by Hitler, their service in Italy and
the neglect of their interests at the end of the war.  -  Highly
Recommended.
When Britain declared war on Germany, to honour its commitment to
defend Poland, it was to some extent gesture politics. Britain and
France were without the resources to send an army into Poland before
its collapse. Some politicians hoped the declaration of war would
shake the Germans sufficiently to encourage their retreat back over
the German border, followed by a peace treaty and the end of the
possibility of war. Only the most ardent appeasers really believed
that was realistic. The Phony War inevitably followed the German and
Russian occupation of Poland, to be followed in turn by a German
attack on the neutral Low Countries, invasion of France and
evacuation of the BEF back to Britain.
A number of Polish soldiers, sailors and airmen managed to escape and
find their way to Britain, but most became prisoners of war. Those
falling into Soviet hands faired worst. The Soviets murdered most of
the Polish officers in their custody and treated the other POWs badly.
Then, the German invasion of Russia forced the Soviets to become
allies of Britain, France and the US. That opened the way for the
Allies to demand the Soviets release all Polish POWs. It resulted in
the exiled Polish Army as it had survived Soviet captivity being
evacuated en masse over the border into Iran, where they would be
subsequently incorporated into the British Army.
Formed as the Polish II Corps within the British Army under the
command of General Anders, the Poles proved to be tenacious and loyal
allies, fighting their way up Italy. Their service is detailed in
this book, making the most complete account of their history from
Warsaw to Rome.
After WWII, the Poles should have been supported fully by the
British. Sadly, lack of planning and incompetence led to a shameful
fate. They were not alone amongst allies and POWs from central and
Eastern Europe. Partly this was a result of the overwhelming task of
sorting out the wreckage of war and the massive migration of people
around Europe. Partly it was a failure to see Stalin for what he was,
an even more blood spattered despot than Hitler. Uncomfortable
reading but necessary

Op Ed: Women are Remaking the Face of our National Security
By Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) The United States faces a diverse array of threats to its national security in these increasingly dangerous times. I am proud that women are playing a vital role in working to make our country safe, strong and confident on the world's stage. Combat roles are starting to be made open to women, and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter recently announced that Air Force General Lori Robinson has been nominated to head the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM). General Robinson will be the first woman to ever head a combatant command. She has been serving under Air Force Secretary Deborah James, who is only the second woman to serve as a military service chief. While these women are changing perceptions in military roles, women have been leading the way for some time in our nation's defense industries. Women hold just four percent of the CEO positions on Fortune 500 companies, but in the defense industry a large number of the top jobs are held by women. As the Vice Chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, a Subcommittee I have served on for 10 years, and the Chairman of the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, which I have been at the helm of for the last eight years, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges women face as leaders in the defense community, and their successes in meeting those challenges. Marillyn Hewson, the chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin, has overseen development of some of the world's most sophisticated weapons systems during her three-year tenure. She is known for her self-reliance, a trait which she learned from her mother who raised five children on her own. Prior to becoming CEO, Hewson served in 18 < different leadership positions over more than 30 years at Lockheed. Every step of the way, she showed her talent and ability to make the most of any opportunity she was given. One of the top challenges Hewson has faced is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, which is a critical program to ensure that the U.S. maintains air superiority and dominance in the 21st century. When the future was uncertain for the F-35 program, Hewson had the vision to appoint Lorraine Martin as the program's general manager in 2013. As a result of the work by these leaders, criticism of the program has been reduced and we are moving forward with confidence to bring the F-35 into our fighting force. Since 2013, Phebe Novakovic has served as CEO of General Dynamics. Not long after she took over the top job, General Dynamics faced a $2 billion loss and the company's stock was sinking in value. Novakovic spoke candidly about the company's problems and the measures that would be taken to fix them. Thanks to her honesty and authenticity, General Dynamics' stock rallied and wound up 50 cents higher than the previous day. I am fortunate to have a constituent, Della Williams, who was one of the few women in the defense industry when she founded Williams Pyro in my hometown of Fort Worth in 1963. Now named Williams R.D.M., it employs more than 100 people. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, Williams found that she often was not < listened to. She made up her mind to work harder than her male counterparts in order to build her reputation, even returning to work four days after giving birth to her third child when the company was doing support work on the development of the F-16 fighter. The latest woman to join the ranks of top leaders in defense is Leanne Caret, who was named CEO of Defense, Space and Security at Boeing Company this month. Caret is another woman with a reputation for success at tough jobs. She took over leadership of the company's work on the V-22 Osprey program when the unique tiltrotor aircraft was known for chronic problems. Working with co-producer Bell Helicopter in my District, Caret's team has transformed the V-22 into the safest rotorcraft in the Marine Corps inventory. The company is beginning to make overseas sales, and the program is considered a Bell and Boeing success. These women leaders took on some of the toughest challenges in the defense industry and have brought practical, successful solutions to make their companies, and our nation, stronger. We are counting on these women to provide the tools for our national security, and I applaud them for their achievements and inspiration. They are proving that gender is not an issue in our modern world; what matters is what you do < with < the opportunities given to you.
Congresswoman Kay Granger is proud to represent Texas' 12th congressional district, serving a community she has been an integral part of her entire life. Elected to her 10th term in 2014 by an overwhelming margin, Kay has earned her reputation in Congress as a hard-working, tough and < principled leader on the issues that matter most to the people she serves. Her legislative prowess and ability to get things done, < widely respected by both policy makers and influencers in Washington alike, led to her recognition by CQ's Roll < Call as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in Congress as based on her power and influence in the Republican party. Kay- a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution- returns home to the district nearly every weekend to meet with constituents in person and talk with them about what is going on in Washington. Kay attends the First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth and is the mother of three children and grandmother of five. She is an avid and accomplished painter, and enjoys being with her family during spare time. Show Full Article

Q: Why does this generic method implementation NOT require the Type value to be passed? I have implemented a strongly typed implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged, except instead of using the interface, I have added a base class to implement.
It works fine, but the bit I am struggling with is why TValue is used in the base method declaration (I did use this section from some code I found online)
NotifyPropertyUpdate<TValue>(...
BUT in the derived class, it doesn't need to pass TValue at all!
What tells the compiler to resolve this at runtime instead of complaining at build?
Thanks,
Base class:
public class NotifyFuncPropertyChanged<T> : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    #region Implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected void NotifyPropertyUpdate<TValue>(Expression<Func<T, TValue>> selector)
    {
        //get memberInfo from object selection
        MemberInfo memberInfoSelection;
        Expression body = selector;
        if (body is LambdaExpression)
        {
            body = ((LambdaExpression)body).Body;
        }
        switch (body.NodeType)
        {
            case ExpressionType.MemberAccess:
                memberInfoSelection =((MemberExpression)body).Member;
                break;
            default:
                throw new InvalidOperationException();
        }

        //send notifyupdate to memberInfo
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(memberInfoSelection.Name));
        }
    }

    #endregion
}

Usage (derived class)
public class NameTest : NotifyFuncPropertyChanged<NameTest>
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public void TestUpdateName()
    {
        this.NotifyPropertyUpdate(x => x.Name);
    }
}

A: The C# compiler has a feature called Type inference. You can read about it in all its complexity in the language specification, in section 7.5.2, or there's a very brief introduction here.
From the spec:

When a generic method is called without specifying type arguments, a
  type inference process attempts to infer type arguments for the call. The presence of type inference allows a more convenient syntax
  to be used for calling a generic method, and allows the programmer to
  avoid specifying redundant type information. For example, given the
  method declaration:
class Chooser
{
  static Random rand = new Random();
  public static T Choose<T>(T first, T second) {
      return (rand.Next(2) == 0)? first: second;
  }
}

it is possible to invoke the Choose method without explicitly
  specifying a type argument:
int i = Chooser.Choose(5, 213);                   // Calls Choose<int>
string s = Chooser.Choose("foo", "bar");      // Calls Choose<string>

Through type inference, the type arguments int and string are
  determined from the arguments to the method.

A: The compiler can automatically deduce TValue from the argument. In effect, the calling line compiles as:
this.NotifyPropertyUpdate<string>(x => x.Name);

You can see this same thing happening when you call pretty much any LINQ extension method.

A: The compiler infers the type of TValue. It still happens at compile time, not at runtime.
You pass in the following lambda: x => x.Name. The compiler knows that Name is of type string and thus TValue is string.

IT WAS last orders at the Belgard Inn on Sunday, as the 43-year-old landmark pub closed its doors.
The pub is being demolished to pave the way for a Lidl store, with the discount German giant granted permission by South Dublin County Council for a new 'concept' store, plaza and retail/café building on site.
Permission for a new pub on site is provided for in the planning however, Lidl was unable to confirm at this stage if it plans to re-develop a pub.
Last weekend, regulars and past customers flocked to the landmark pub to toast the popular watering hole – and the many memories it held.
Gerry Crawford, Manager of the Belgard Inn, told The Echo: "It's the end of an era and many people are very sad.
He added: "We had a brilliant weekend, the place was jammers and we literally drank the place dry.
"So many people who drank in the Belgard, Cocos or the disco bar Lanigans when they were younger came back with their friends for a final drink.
The Belgard Inn, which called last orders on Sunday, March 18, employed 16 people, a number of whom are moving to the Elms in Liffey Valley – which is under the same ownership as the Belgard.
Others, according to Gerry, have sourced work locally.
"All of the staff would like to thank all of the customers, both the regulars and those who came back over the weekend.
"We all had a great night even if it was a little sad.
When contacted by The Echo, Lidl was unable to confirm if the re-development of a smaller pub on site was included in its plans.
A spokesperson for the company said: "There is no decision made yet with regards to a pub being rebuilt, all options are being explored at present.
Get this week's Echo and turn to page 63 for more pictures of the Belgard Inn's closing night.

Charities & NFP
Scrutiny proposals alarm charities
Matthew Franklin - The Australian
Australia's biggest not-for-profit health provider has accused the Gillard government of planning laws that could allow it to take over charities critical of government policy. Catholic Health Australia has warned that legislation creating the proposed Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission would allow the government to "shame" critics without proving claims of wrongdoing.
Poker machine doublespeak
Malcolm Farnswoth - ABC
It was a day for doublespeak yesterday as Gillard Government functionaries came out in force to promote their leader's "problem gambling policy". They all denied Andrew Wilkie had been stabbed in the back. "We don't have the numbers to deliver the package he has asked for," said Health Minister Plibersek, overlooking the inconvenient truth that Gillard signed up to the policy in exchange for Wilkie backing her into government.

The new outlaws: how same-sex marriage suffocates freedom
Bryce J. Christensen - Mercator Net
Those advocating the radical social innovation, which they label "same-sex or gay marriage," typically claim that they are fighting for freedom, championing a basic liberty. "Freedom to Marry" is indeed the name of a national organization devoted to the advocacy of same-sex marriage. Established in 2003 by civil-rights advocate Evan Wolfson and headquartered in New York City, this group takes "We All Deserve the Freedom to Marry" as its slogan.
Would you say yes to an open relationship?
Samantha Brett - SMH
Monogamy is unnatural! Our species is too obsessed with sex! We are not designed to have sex with the same person over and over again for an entire lifetime! Sounds plausible ... or ludicrous? Either way, these revelations are all from psychologist Christopher Ryan, the author of Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality, whose New York Times bestselling book shook things up when it was released in 2010.
Labor's policy changes should be put to the people, ACL says
Australian Conservative
If the Gillard Government wants to break key commitments it made to secure office, it should put the new policies to a general election, the Australian Christian Lobby says in a media release today: Perhaps never before in the nation's history have so many key promises to secure Government been made and broken in such quick succession, the Australian Christian Lobby said today. "Labor is just half way through its second term and it has broken four key promises following its reneging yesterday of its promise to implement poker machine reform by May," ACL's managing director Jim Wallace said.
Craig Thomson key to Tony Abbott's plotting
Dennis Shanahan - The Australia
Within 48 hours of Andrew Wilkie withdrawing crucial support from the Gillard government, Tony Abbott has started building the argument to move a no-confidence motion against Labor on the grounds of maladministration and integrity. On the issue of a lack of government integrity and trust, Abbott has been given the golden opportunity of Wilkie's sense of betrayal and a swath of public questioning of Julia Gillard's sincerity, ranging from GetUp! to the Australian Christian Lobby.
Prostitution & Sex Trafficking
Plan to rid St Kilda of kerb-crawlers
Aleks Devic - Herald Sun
Police have created a blueprint to rid hooker hot spot St Kilda of street workers within two years. State Parliament is also taking action, passing special legislation allowing police to ban seedy customers from Victoria's infamous sex centre for 72 hours. About 370 kerb crawlers have been banished from the area in one year and been charged with soliciting sex.

Pope warns America of 'grave threat' to religious freedom
Jim Hoft - GateWay Pundit
Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan lashed out at the Obama Administration for forcing religious organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. The new rules are so strict that most Catholic institutions will not qualify for an exemption. Pope Benedict warned of the "grave threat" to religious freedom in United States before the Obama Administration's decision this week.
Police beat, arrest evangelist in Sudan
Compass Direct
Police this week beat and arrested a church leader in Khartoum, sources told Compass. Evangelist James Kat of the Evangelical Church of Sudan was arrested on Tuesday morning, with officers beating him as they took him to a North Division police station, the sources said. He was released on bail the same day. Police detained Kat, who lives at the church site, apparently because he was using the place as his home.
Indonesians unhappy with Abbott plan
Indonesian police are the latest to voice concerns about the coalition's plan to turn asylum seeker boats around at sea but Opposition Leader Tony Abbott isn't backing down.Mr Abbott has long promised that a coalition government would turn the boats back to Indonesia when it's safe to do so. But with offshore processing now in legal doubt he is putting fresh emphasis on the plan, calling it a 'core policy'.
Tankard Reist explain yourself
Kate Gleeson - SMH
Is the anti-porn activist guilty by association with Brian Harradine? Many feminists are suspicious of Melinda Tankard Reist. This is not just because she identifies as a pro-life feminist, a rare species in Australia. It is because of her work for then senator Brian Harradine when he was at his most powerful. It would be naive to suggest anything less.

WHIMS
group show with Ornella Pocetti, Jeanine Brito & La Ruman
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
WHIMS unites the work of Ornella Pocetti (Argentina, 1991), Jeanine Brito (Germany, 1993) and La Ruman (Spain, 1993).
The visual languages and themes suggested in this show are specific to each artist. However, "Whims'' connects harmonious images with surrealist elements, filled with fantasy and a dreamlike nature. The surrealist aspects exhibited in all three painters' practice, convert the scenes into frames that resemble dreams, unmasking extremely lively environments despite the stillness of the figures and objects that act as protagonists.
The artworks presented in this show remind us that paintings consist of visual mechanisms created to slightly manipulate the spectator. Our aim in this exhibition is to exhibit the work of three young female artists who allow themselves to be enthralled by their personal wander and perception - artists who allow themselves to be seduced by a vision, rather than veracity.
Jeanine Brito presents mysterious scenes with exuberant and sensual meals placed in a background that recall dreamlike spaces, with checkerboard floors and curtain backgrounds that are reminiscent of David Lynch's disturbing aesthetics. Within her lush forests and green landscapes, (not far from rococo), Ornella Pocetti stages a somewhat invented female mythology. With a tempting but implicitly dangerous beauty, the heroines are female figures with varied attributes. These characteristics, between the ancient and the modern are depicted conveying security, vigor and independence, despite their vulnerable nudity. The characters depicted by La Ruman, also posses a strong and powerful attitude in the midst of religious and folkloric iconography - resulting in a visual feast filled with symbology and insinuations.
ABOUT JEANINE BRITO
Jeanine Brito -b. 1993, Germany- is a painter living in Toronto, Canada, where she received her B.Des in Fashion Communication from Ryerson University in 2015.
In 2014 she studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, completing a minor in independent fashion magazines. Her design education informs the use of colour and composition in her paintings, where she explores themes of memory and desire through self-portraiture and still life.
Her work is collected privately across North America and Europe, and she has been featured in publications such as Elle US, Creative Review, CBC Arts, Elle Canada, Harper's Bazaar Italia, and S/ Magazine.
La Ruman is a native of Bayarque, a village in the Sierra de los Filabres, in Almería.
Trained in Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Aranjuez and the Accademia de Macerata in Italy, where she began to develop her style, which she describes as Costumbrismo Señorial or Iberian Epiphany.
Symbology, traditions, religion and customs, folklore and popular culture are the protagonists of her work, creating to images that intermingle these interests with his fascination for earlier times.
The figure of the woman as possessor of a dazzling and hypnotizing presence constitutes another of the great references of her work.
ABOUT LA RUMAN
ABOUT ORNELLA POCETTI
Ornella Pocetti was born in Buenos Aires in 1991. She studied Visual Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Arte in Buenos Aires, whilst also training in various workshops and programs.
In 2015 she had her first solo show at the Acéfala Gallery in Buenos Aires and in 2019 she received a grant from the renowned Artists x Artists Program. She is also part of the artistic collective "Viento Dorado" and makes children's editorial illustration.
Her works have been selected in the National Salon competition (2021), Felix Amador Salon (2018 and 2019) in the National Fund for the Arts (2018), Itaú Award (2019), Rosario Castagnino - Macro National Salon (2018) and in the X National Painting Award Central Bank (2017), receiving a mention in the last four.

Mary Beth had many helpful hints including using a floral knife instead of scissors to cut the flowers. To cut, you need to move the flower stem and keep the knife still. Using a knife prevents the stem from crushing and allows water to flow more easily to the flower.
Mary Beth completed 3 arrangements. Two of the arrangements had an autumn theme and one had a Christmas theme. Two of the arrangements were raffled off and one was given to past president, Peggy C.
Our next general meeting will be the FIRST Thursday of the month which is Dec. 3rd at Windermere Town Hall. It will be a business meeting at 10:30am with a Christmas potluck to follow. There will be no speaker or program.
If you would like to attend as a guest, please e-mail Tanya at tkchesire@yahoo.com by Tuesday, Dec. 1st. You do not need to bring an item to share.
If you are a member, please contact Eleanor by Tuesday, Dec. 1st. and tell her what you are bringing to share. Also, we are collecting non perishable canned or boxed food items for West Orange Christian Service Center.
President Peggy Collins presents a check in the amount of $1,000 to Angela Withers, Development Director of the Henry Nehrling Society, to support the rehabilitation of historic Nehrling Gardens in Gotha. The club will receive a Bamboo level Honorary Deed to 20 square yards of Nehrling Gardens in recognition of the club's generous support.

Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, has been named as the first adviser to the government's new Office for Artificial Intelligence.
In his new position, Hassabis will advise the government on building the skills and capability needed for the UK to embrace the benefits of the technology, while also minimising its risks.
He founded DeepMind with Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman in 2010 before selling it to Google for a reported £400m four years later. Based in London's Kings Cross, the company is regarded as one of the world's leading centres of AI research.
"I'm honoured to be taking on the role of Adviser to the Office for AI, and look forward to the huge opportunity that lies ahead," said Hassabis. "I've always believed that AI could be one of the most important and widely beneficial breakthroughs of the 21st century – and as a proud Londoner, it's fantastic to see the UK's world-class universities and start-ups already making major scientific advances.
Speaking at the opening of the London Office for Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement this afternoon, digital secretary Matt Hancock also announced that Dame Wendy Hall, an AI expert who co-authored a government report on the sector last year, and Tabitha Goldstaub, co-founder of CognitionX, will serve as AI skills and business champions respectively and oversee the government's AI "grand challenge".
Goldstaub, who recently authored a report into the state of AI in London, will also serve as the chair of the new AI Council. The industry forum will be charged with growing the UK's ecosystem of AI startups and scaleups and promoting adoption of the technology across the private sector.
The new Office for AI was announced earlier this year and sits between the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. It has been tasked with overseeing the UK's AI strategy and managing the industrial "grand challenge" on AI, which focuses on promoting data as a means to improving the detection of chronic diseases.
DeepMind has won plaudits for its collaboration with Moorfields Eye Hospital on accelerating the detection of sight-loss conditions. But it has also attracted criticism for one aspect of its work in the health sector. A partnership with the Royal Free Hospital Trust in London prompted an investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office in 2016. The ICO ruled that the partnership had initially failed to comply with data protection rules, but that the Royal Free, not DeepMind, was to blame for the violation.

Palestinian territories / Israel - 09/20/2019
Video: Palestinian woman shot and killed by Israeli soldiers at checkpoint
Israeli forces opened fire on a Palestinian woman on Wednesday at the Qalandiya checkpoint in the West Bank, near Jerusalem. They said the woman, who later died in hospital, had brandished a knife.
A 42-second video published on social media shows some of the scene as filmed from a vehicle. An Israeli soldier shoots at a woman on the edge of the road who appears to be moving towards him. She collapses and an object falls to the ground beside her.
In Arabic, the men in the car say, "He shot her! He shot her in the leg." The guard, who is accompanied by at least two colleagues, approaches her and kicks the object away. The woman then seems to try to crawl away.
Warning: graphic images.

TIMES OF GAZA (@Timesofgaza) September 18, 2019
On Twitter, Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said a "terrorist" had tried to attack the security personnel. He published a photo of a knife, supposedly the one dropped by the woman.

Micky Rosenfeld (@MickyRosenfeld) September 18, 2019
A police statement cited by The Times of Israel said that security forces asked the woman to stop when she approached them, but "she did not respond to their calls and took out a knife".
The woman was then taken to Hadassah Hospital, where she died, according to the article.
Amnesty International has reacted by saying the footage "shows the woman standing some distance away from the Israeli guards [...]
"She did not appear to be carrying a firearm and did not pose any immediate threat to the guards or to the lives of people in the vicinity when they opened fire. This strongly suggests that her killing may have been unlawful.
"Under international law, lethal force must only be used when strictly unavoidable and in order to defend people from imminent risk of death or serious injury."
On May 31, a 19-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli police after stabbing two Israelis in the Old City of Jerusalem.

BALTIMORE, MD — The Baltimore Brigade (2-1) beat the Albany Empire (0-2), 52-49, Saturday afternoon at Royal Farms Arena. Brigade quarterback Randy Hippeard was named the game's MVP for his seven-touchdown performance. Defensive back Virgil Gray led the Brigade defense with 10 tackles and one interception and was named Defensive Player of the Game.
The Brigade got on the board first when Hippeard found wide receiver Milton Williams, giving Baltimore a 7-0 advantage just two minutes into the game. The Empire answered with a touchdown pass from quarterback Tommy Grady to newly signed wide receiver Joe Hills, tying the game at seven. The Brigade took a 21-7 lead after consecutive second-quarter touchdown passes from Hippeard. Albany responded with a two-touchdown run of their own – passes from Grady to Hills and fellow wideout Collin Taylor – tying the game at 21. The team's traded scores in the final minute of the first half before Brigade kicker Mark Lewis hit a field goal as time expired to give Baltimore a 31-28 lead after two quarters.
Baltimore and Albany traded touchdowns over the course of the second half. Taylor found the end zone again, this time on the ground, to start the second half scoring and give Albany a 35-31 lead. Hippeard threw his fifth touchdown of the game midway through the third quarter, re-taking the lead for Baltimore, 38-35. A 42-yard strike from Grady to wideout Malachi Jones put the Empire back on top. Hippeard found Williams for the second time, giving Baltimore a lead before Grady connected with Joe Hills for the fourth time, putting Albany back on top, 49-45. Hippeard tossed his seventh touchdown of the game with just over four minutes remaining, finding wideout Quentin Sims for the second time and giving the Brigade a 52-49 lead. The Brigade defense forced and recovered a fumble in the final minute to solidify the win.


Dallas or Fort Worth automated mosquito misting systems tend to work well for residential or commecial areas with mosquito problems.
Although there is no sign yet of the dreaded West Nile virus, Dallas County officials are alerting residents to prepare for the return of the mosquito-borne virus.
Last year's record West Nile oubreak was linked to 19 deaths and 398 moderate-to-severe illnesses in Dallas County. Local health officials said Monday they were taking no chances in getting ready for this year.
Such precautions include purchasing insect repellent, repairing screens and doors to keep mosquitoes out and draining standing water outdoors where the insects could breed.
"We're declaring that this is the beginning of West Nile prevention," said Zachary Thompson, director of the county's Health and Human Services Department.
West Nile, which was first detected in North Texas in 2002, typically appears from May through November each year. It is carried in birds and can be spread to people by mosquito bites.
However, predicting the size of an annual outbreak is virtually impossible. In 2010, for example, no West Nile infections were detected throughout the county.
Last year, the first mosquito tested positive for the virus here on May 30 and the first human infection was confirmed on June 20. Both were considered early.
"It is important to practice the recommended preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of contracting West Nile virus," said Anthony Jenkins, the county's assistant director of environmental health.
Residents should purchase insect repellent in April and have it ready for immediate use when the West Nile season begins, perhaps next month or sooner, Thompson said.
He noted that mosquito spray became hard to find when the 2012 outbreak peaked in August. Many stores had sold out of the DEET-based varieties.
Keeping mosquitoes out of the house also must be a priority, the officials said. A high percentage of severe West Nile infections last year were believed to have occurred inside the home.
The virus causes no symptoms in about 80 percent of infected people, but can cause mild headaches or fever in about 20 percent of those bitten.
About one in 150 infected people will develop a severe neuroinvasive disease, such as encephalitis, meningitis or polio-like paralysis. Among those with severe illness, fatality rates range from 3 percent to 15 percent and are highest among the elderly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Thompson said the next West Nile season will be marked by better cooperation among the four North Texas counties hit hardest by last year's outbreak.
Health departments in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton and Collin counties will work closley with the regional office of the Texas Department of State Health Services, especially if a significant outbreak occurs.
So far, the four counties have agreed to increase the number of fixed mosquito traps that are tested weekly for West Nile so that the public can be alerted to any viral activity nearby.
However, each county will devise its own plan for mosquito spraying, both on the ground and by airplane, if needed.

Twopence To Cross The Mersey UK Premiere Tour
Helen Forrester's Twopence To Cross The Mersey is embarking on its first major UK national tour this Autumn.
The brand new stage production of Helen Forrester's Twopence To Cross The Mersey is embarking on its first major UK national tour this Autumn.
Twopence To Cross The Mersey UK Premiere Tour 2022 will open on Tuesday 6 September at the New Brighton Floral Pavilion in Wirral and then go on to tour a further 13 venues nationwide through to mid-November.
The tour will visit venues in Rhyl, Stockport, Crewe, St Helens, Blackpool, Warrington, Darlington, Halifax, Croydon, Coventry, Bolton, and Southport, before closing in Liverpool.
The new touring production of Twopence To Cross The Mersey is produced by Rob Fennah and Lynn McDermott for Pulse Records Limited in association with Bill Elms and Directed by Gareth Tudor Price. Full cast to be announced.
About the show – Twopence To Cross The Mersey is a stunning period drama set in the early 1930s in the midst of the Great Depression.
In 1931, Helen's spendthrift father was declared bankrupt forcing the family to leave behind the nannies, servants, and beautiful middle-class home in the gentler South West of England. With nothing more than the clothes they stood up in, the family of nine took the train to Liverpool where they hoped to rebuild their shattered lives. It came as a terrible shock to find the thriving, wealthy port Helen's father remembered as a boy, the place his own father made his fortune, had long since gone.
While 12-year-old Helen's inept parents searched unsuccessfully to find work, she was taken out of school to look after her six younger siblings and the full burden of keeping house fell on Helen's young shoulders. Having never had to manage a family budget in their previous life, the Forresters found themselves relying on meagre hand-outs from the local parish, charity organisations, and the kindness of strangers.
At the age of 14, Helen had finally had enough of her miserable existence and so began a bitter fight with her mother and father to attend evening school in an effort to educate herself and make her own way in the world. But Helen's parents had no intention of releasing their unpaid slave. They had other plans for their selfish daughter.
Millions of people around the world know Helen Forrester's life story told through her best-selling volumes of autobiography, Twopence To Cross The Mersey, Liverpool Miss, By The Waters Of Liverpool, and Lime Street At Two
Helen's literary achievements were celebrated in 2020 when an iconic Blue Plaque was unveiled at the late author's family home in Hoylake, a place which featured heavily in her work.

Recording the big moments of life is always a popular topic for memory keeping projects. But when was the last time you recorded the details that make up just another day?

"It's the most horrific hoarding case I've seen," Animal Control supervisor Chase Connolly said.
Animal control officials in Kitsap County rescued 26 animals this week, mostly small dogs, from what were described as "deplorable" conditions in an uninhabited home in central Kitsap County.
The homeowner reportedly lives outside the county and visited every other day to give the animals food and water, according to the release. Kitsap County animal control supervisor Chase Connolly told the Kitsap Sun that the case is being investigated for possible animal cruelty charges.
"It's the most horrific hoarding case I've seen in all my eight years at the shelter," Connolly said.
The Humane Society is seeking volunteers to adopt the animals. Many are fearful and nervous around people, "though several remain curious and interested in receiving attention despite all they have been through," the release states. The animals are not house trained and likely have not worn collars or been walked on a leash. Interested adopters should be prepared to provide "continued patience and gentle care" to attend to the neglected animals, the release states.

Top 5 Things to Do in Victoria BC
by RunningMan
From the world-famous to the lesser-known, here are some of the top Victoria BC attractions.
Victoria, British Columbia is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. With its mild climate and breathtaking scenery, it's a great place to visit at any time of year. But how do you decide what to do? From the world-famous to the lesser-known, here are some of the top Victoria BC attractions.
Stay in a Bed and Breakfast
Victoria BC is more than hotels and tourist traps. It's a city with a rich history that spans centuries, cultures, and nations. Luckily for visitors, it's impossible to ignore, and easy to explore! Strolling around the remarkably preserved downtown core is a great way to view the city's historical side, but if you truly want to experience the city's history, stay in a bed and breakfast.
Some bed and breakfasts were built by Victoria's original settlers, and have been renovated to retain the charm and character of the original building. Their owners can tell you tales of families and hardship, of glamorous parties and scandals—all of which have taken place in the very building you'll be staying in. Is there a better way to experience Victoria's history? I don't think so.
Explore the Butchart Gardens
The Butchart Gardens is a National Historic Site of Canada and one of the most famous gardens in the world. Tucked away on the outskirts of Victoria, the Gardens feature 55 acres of meticulously manicured grounds that are beautiful in any season. In spring, the garden comes alive with the colours and scents of hundreds of thousands flowers. In summer, a magical glow is cast with thousands of carefully placed lights. Autumn brings the Japanese Garden to life with fiery red, russet and golden maples, and in winter, the background trees and shrubs of summer have a chance to shine.
Stroll Along the Breakwater
Victoria's scenic Ogden Point Breakwater affords fantastic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Olympic Mountains and the many cruise ships that dock nearby. It's about a mile walk out to lighthouse and back, which gives you plenty of time to admire the scenery. The surrounding waters are teeming with life, also making it popular spot for scuba diving and fishing. Tip: If you don't mind getting a little wet, go on a windy day when the waves are crashing into the breakwater's granite blocks.
Visit the Oldest Chinatown in Canada
With a history dating back to the mid 19th century, Victoria's Chinatown is the oldest in Canada and second in age only to San Francisco's in North America. Chinatown only encompasses a city block, but its many historic buildings are still connected by a labyrinth of alleys and passages. Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest street in Canada, is found in Victoria's Chinatown. You can explore Chinatown on your own, or book a tour for a more in-depth experience.
Eat the Best Soft Ice Cream in the World
The Beacon Drive In, located on lower Douglas St. right next to Beacon Hill Park, serves the best soft serve ice cream this side of anywhere. Smooth, creamy and refreshing, it's the perfect treat in any season. And afterwards, you can cross the street and explore Beacon Hill Park, Victoria's largest and most popular greenspace.

All of us have our purpose in life, but do you know that very few people know their purpose in life? When I talk about life purpose, I am not talking about the daily goals we set and break the rules the next day. No!
Goal is totally different from your purpose in life. Goal is when you intent to achieve or do something and your purpose has to do with what will become of you when you successfully possess the goal, right?
Let me give you an example with a young ambitious man that had a big goal for himself but never had a purpose in life. One morning he said to himself, he must become rich and famous like his opponents in the field. So he decided to setup a business which did very well and made him famous than his competitors. He made many friends and everyone loved him. Unfortunately one morning, he dedicated almost halve of what he had acquired all these years to the Orphanage.
I hope you have seen people like that? What do you think made him do that? The answer is simple!! He had a goal without a purpose and so achieved his goal and got all the praises he wanted and from there on, wealth made no sense to him again and one morning he did that.
Identifying your life purpose is not difficult or a complicated process. It's nothing more than examining the things you wish to do before you die. For example, my purpose in life is to help people anyway I can, so every day in life, I try to help people in various form especially in the domain of self-help. That is my life purpose. If the universe has to come to an end now, this is what I will be grateful for.
What about you? If you were to certainly die tomorrow, what will be the things you wish you could have done before death comes?
Let me put this in another form for you to discover your purpose in life. Let's say you were death (unimaginable, but for the sake of example) and God decides to reverse your future for just 30days and brings you back to life before you die again, what will be the things you wish to do within these 30days?
As soon as you reflect, you will have a dropdown list of the things you wish to do and those are your life purposes. Those are the things that will really make you feel happy as soon as you start working your way towards that. In one of my articles, I explain how happiness only occurs when a person discovers his life purpose and heads it.
So as soon as you discover your purpose, write them down and start working your way toward it. You will discover that as soon as you start working on that, life will tend to be fair and meaningful.

Former Park administration squandered ₩5.9 billion for overseas medical project
By Kwak Sung-sun
The government's project to expand Korean medical institutions overseas and attract foreign patients to Korea is drifting, despite the 5.9 billion won ($5.2 million) state investment in the past five years. The former Park Geun-hye administration initially pushed for the project.
The Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) is now seeking to sell Korea Medical Holdings, a public-private joint firm established in 2013 to help Korea hospitals enter foreign countries and invite international patients to Korean hospitals.
During a parliamentary audit on the KHIDI on Tuesday, the ruling party and opposition party clashed over the issue of the KMH sale.
Lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party demanded an audit on the KMH by the Board of Audit and Inspection, saying the company wasted away 5.9 billion won government investment.
However, those of the opposition Liberty Korea Party opposed the idea, claiming the Democratic Party was trying to stop the KMH project just because it originated from the former administration's support.
According to Rep. Jung Choun-sook of the Democratic Party, KHIDI invested 200 million won in 2013, 150 million won in 2014, and 126 million in 2015, in KMH. The company additionally received 1.1 billion won private funding subsidy from the Ministry of Health and Welfare every year from 2013 to 2017, she said.
"Although the government poured a total of 5.4 billion won fund for the past five years, the KMH is on the verge of collapsing," Jung said.
She went on to say that despite criticism from the then-opposition party and civic groups, the former Park administration allowed KHIDI to continue investing in KMH, and the health and welfare ministry to provide a private funding subsidy.
"As a member of the Health and Welfare Committee, I will request the BAI's audit into the KHIDI's investment in KMH in vain with taxpayer's money, the health ministry's subsidy support and the overall failure of the KMH business," Jung said.
However, Rep. Yu Jae-jung of the Liberty Korea Party took an issue with the idea of discontinuing the ministry's support "just because it was the former government's project."
"KMH is not a for-profit company. It was established to help companies and hospitals expand in overseas markets. We should not stop supporting the company just because the project was pushed by the former administration."
Lee Young-chan, president of the KHIDI, said the institute decided to sell KMH because it was difficult to guarantee the company's sustainability after five years.
According to the KHIDI's evaluation on KMH's asset value, the face value of KMH plummeted to 174 won per share as of June 30 from the initial 5,000 won.
The KHIDI's board members decided to sell all or part of 168,202 shares in KMH to the Korea International Medical Association or private shareholders. The institute reported its sale plan to the health and welfare ministry on June 22 and has put KMH on sale.

I create a lesson plan that is individual and unique because every student is individual and unique! I am also an avid composer and currently in multiple groups that involve my original music. I have a unique sound and style of composition that is rooted from music education and my personality. I can definitely provide insight and knowledge about composing, music theory and music in general, in addition to guitar.
I currently work part-time at two music schools and am actively teaching through freelance. I am a very professional and qualified guitar teacher/music tutor who is eager to teach! Please feel free to contact me about any question or concerns you may have and I look forward to working with you!

I have been playing the guitar for over 13 years, I have been teaching guitar lessons for over 4 years and I have my Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance. I currently work part-time at two music schools and am an active freelance teacher. On all of my teaching profiles I have received 5 star reviews and have great relationships with all my students. I take the time to listen to my students to understand who they are and what they want to get out of the guitar to give them personalized lessons.
While working towards my Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance, I have become very knowledgeable about music theory. I use it to compose, improvise, arrange, analyze and teach.

I have been an avid composer/songwriter for over 4 years now. I currently am in two different groups where we are performing my original music. I also recently finished a project where I composed, performed and partially recorded all of the music for a podcast.
I have learned alot from steve in only a few lessons. He gives great direction and is very knowledgeable. I have been playing guitar for around 10 years and would highly recommend steve to players of any skill level. If your looking to learn some theory or just to brush up on your chops then steve is your guy.
Just started my lessons with Steve on guitar. I am so excited. It was easy and he is a great teacher!!! I literally had no idea what string is what and how to do anything. Thought it might be difficult not to do this in person, but it went amazing!
Steve is a great, patient and understanding teacher. He is a tremendous guitar player who has the answers to all my questions. It's obvious that he's a trained and talented musician. I already knew how to read music and Steve has been showing me where the notes are on the fretboard, chord shapes and we've started talking about theory. He's also teaching me through online lessons and it feels like he's in the room with me. I'm excited to continue my lessons with Steve and am looking forward to the competent musician that I will become!
Our 10 y.o. son is enthused to learn playing the guitar after his first lesson with Steve. He is looking forward to more lessons and learning more playing the guitar.
Awesome first lesson with Steve, I learned more than I had previously learned from other instructors put together. He's really good at explaining things so they make sense. I'm looking forward to learning more with Steve.
I was really struggling in my Music 101 class until I had a tutoring session with Steve. There are subjects where I do not understand things the first time and reading music happens to be one of them. However, Steve takes his time to explain it to you. He really breaks it down to the core if you need to take it to that level. I was afraid that I wouldn't find a tutor who would have the patience to explain things to me if I didn't get it the first time, but I was wrong. If you are interested in someone who is knowledgeable in music and has patience in explaining it to you, I highly recommend Steve.

Relocating to a new city is a challenge in itself. But when there is a baby involved, the challenge multiplies two-folds! There are so many things you need to take care of if your baby is small. If you too are facing this challenge, don't get too worried. These 6 practical and super easy packing and moving tips will help you in relocating to a new city with ease. Read on to find out more.
Even if you leave the packing job to the very end, remember to prep well in advance. Walk around the house and make a house moving checklist. See what you want to take along with you to the new house and what you want to leave behind. You will find a lot of baby-related stuff that you will probably want to donate or discard. If your child has outgrown his crib or there is a pile of unused toys he hardly plays with, start packing them up. Pack the things your baby doesn't use anymore and won't notice gone, well before moving day. This will not stress him out any day and will make packing and moving with kids an easier for you too.
Everyone likes to complete the packing job well in advance. But how to do an efficient packing and moving with kids? Many people face this question. You should prepare well in advance as mentioned in the above point. But delay the packing as much as possible. This is because your baby may get stressed by the changed setting of the house. He is used to having the bed at a particular place and the couch at a fixed distance away. A change in this will be unsettling for him. Also, if you pack your things up too early, you won't have the basic supplies you need for your baby. As an adult, you can order some takeout food, but you will need the stove and the pressure cooker to prepare your baby's meal. So, don't be too quick to pack if you are moving with a child.
Professional packers and movers can be of great help to a family relocating to a new city. With children around, it is difficult to devote the necessary time and energy you need to properly pack the house. Hiring Packer and mover from UrbanClap will ease your burden and your packing will be over in no time. This works well as you get to spend time with the kids and keep an eye on them. You also get to postpone the job till the last day. As mentioned above, doing this is useful when a kid is present in the house.
Even if you hire packer and mover companies from UrbanClap, ensure you pack your kid's stuff yourself. Keep different boxes for his clothes, toys, medicines and other essential items. Pack a separate bag with your kid's favourite toy, diapers (if you have a very small baby), eatables, medicines and clothes. This will last at least a week before you unpack in the new house. Keep this suitcase with you and don't load it to the moving truck. In case there is a delay in receiving the boxes, your child won't face any problems. Following this step will easily help you relocating to a new city without any hassle.
This is an important packing and moving tip when you are moving with kids. Moving day can be pretty chaotic. You are bound to get distracted by the activities happening around you. So, arrange for your kids to go to a babysitter's house or ask a friend to volunteer. Your kids need to be out of the house and in a place where they taken care of by a reliable person. Arrange for this beforehand. You will be able to handle the moving day activities with more focus when your kids are away. This will in turn help you complete the job with precision.
Before you move with your baby, ensure you speak to the paediatrician. Find out what your baby needs for a comfortable moving experience. Also, look for references of doctors and medical facilities at your destination. Moving can be tiring and stressful for a small child and he may even show signs of illness after a hectic move. Keep your options ready so that the child can receive the care he needs as soon as a need arises.
To put it in a nutshell, you can move smoothly with a baby if you are just a little bit cautious and organised. Keep the moving tips mentioned above in mind and your job will become a lot simpler. Relocating to a new city can be tough and for a family moving with a baby, the challenges can be far more. But if you stay focused and keep the needs of your child in the forefront, the move will be smooth for all of you.
Wow, You share the points about moving is really valuable and important. Your advice is very helpful. I am impressed this blog. Good work. Thanks!

IRIS versicolor 'John Wood'
IRIS versicolor 'Murrayana'
(Harlequin Blueflag, Murrayana Blueflag)


Before the explorers, trappers, fur traders etc. came into what is now North Dakota, nine tribes inhabited the region: Arikara, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Cree, Hidatsa, Lakota ( also known as Dakota Sioux ), Mandan and Yanktonai. Among the first Europeans to visit the area was Sieur de la Verendrye ( 1738 ), when the French claimed the land for themselves. But in 1803 the newly formed American nation, under the guidance of Thomas Jefferson, bought the entire swath of land extending down to the Gulf of Mexico in what was to be called the 'Louisiana Purchase'. The following year President Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the territory. They were followed by the notable Prussian Prince, Alexander Philipp Maximilian and his companion the painter Karl Bodmer.
The Dakota Territory was established by Congress on March 3, 1861 – it consisted of what is today the states of North & South Dakota, most of Montana and Wyoming. During the next 10 years, the American Military built many forts to protect, settlers, westward expansionists, railroad workers and to control the Native Americans.
On June 25, 1876, from Fort Abraham Lincoln, General George A. Custer lead the attack on Chief Sitting Bull which ended in his complete defeat ( along with all 209 of his men ) at the Battle of Little Big Horn. In 1889, N. Dakota achieved Statehood and prior to that many settlers came in to get free homestead land for farming ( mostly wheat ) and cattle raising. Even the future President, Theodore Roosevelt bought his first ranch, the Maltese Cross, in North Dakota and spent several months each year there.
This special 50 cents 'money' medallion was issued in 1961 ( 100th Anniversary of the territory ) and depicts the Capital in 1883 and the State Capitol in 1934 ( both in Bismarck ) along with a portrait of Custer.
