NEGP, Parkruns and 5 medals at Northern Champs for Team Blyth
On Wednesday, the NEGP season concluded at Monkton Stadium with lots of great performances from our young athletes. Caitlin Creaby produced one of her best ever 200m races, recording a grade 4 time of 29.63s. in the 800m, George Bryce produced a fine new PB of 2:40.98 whilst Frankie Foster also put in a good peformnace. Frankie also equalled his PB in the high jump, with a best clearance of 1.25m. In the final Grand Prix standings, we have several award winners. Caitlin Creaby is 6th overall in the U13 girls, with Frankie 6th in the U13 boys. Luke Pichler takes 4th in the U15 boys. These three athletes will be presented with trophies at the end of season awards.
NEGP Results
Its been a busy weekend of parkruns. Last weekend, Frankie took 1st place at the Keswick junior parkrun, before this weekend taking 1st place with a new PB at the South Beach Parkrun, closely followed by Luke Gormley in 2nd. Richard and Grace also rank strongly. At the Blyth Links parkrun Niamh and Daniel both produced great runs once again.
The Northern Championships have a tradition of providing great moments of sporting drama, and this year was no different. On Saturday, Luke Pichler had a crazy half-hour, as both his hurdles and long jump were at nearly the same time. This resulted in a mix-up which meant that a hurdles lane was not set out for Luke. He was allowed to race, and delivered a fine performance to take gold by a fraction in 11.28s, a PB which was just 0.01 outside the championship record. Luke was however then disqualified - before being rightly re-instated upon appeal. All the while the long jump competition was progressing - with Luke pulling out a huge PB in the final round of 6.39 to take another gold. Oscar Pichler was in action in both the long jump and shot put - showing great consistency and he was just a couple of centimetres off his best in both events.
On Sunday, Senna Gorvett kicked of proceedings in the long jump - although was not able to deliver the result she wanted. Luke took his third gold of the weekend in the high jump with 1.75m, whilst Lauren Creaby cruised through her 800m heat. Younger sister Caitlin ran strongly in her 100m heat, but produced her best performances in the 200m where she was an excellent 3rd in her heat, qualifying for the semi-finals where she was 6th. Senna negotiated a tricky 75m hurdles to qualify for the final, whilst Hannah Wilson was fastest qualifier as she proceeded to the 200m final. The day ended with 3 finals - first up Hannah Wilson took bronze in an extremely close 200m finish. There was further drama as the bronze was initially given to the athlete that finished 5th, but Hannah eventually got her moment on the podium. Next up was Lauren, and she took her first Northern medal with a superb bronze in a hard fought race, running her 2nd fastest time ever. Finally, Senna finished the day with 6th place in a hugely competitive hurdles final, coming through strongly in the final stages.

MASSIVE PLEA FOR HELP FROM OUR PARENTS & FAMILY MEMBERS
Athletics can only run thanks to the support of volunteers. One thing we are desperately short of is FIELD OFFICIALS. These are volunteers who can help run field events at T&F comps, in particular the NEYDL. As a participating club, we are required by the rules to provided qualified officials at NEYDL events, something we have struggled to do last year. This year, if we are unable to fulfill our obligation to provide officials, we will not only lose points, but also we will be limited in the numbers of athletes we can enter into field events. This is something that we cannot allow to happen.
If you wish to consider starting on the officiating journey, then please know that you will have the full support of the club and all fees will be paid in full by the club. Officials receive expenses, and have opportunities to progress if the ambition is there. Officials from Blyth have recently been in action at World-Class Diamond League events, and will testify that it is the most rewarding experience.

How to Book a Flight to China
What Is Needed to Travel to the Dominican Republic?
What to Pack for a Trip to Quebec, Canada?

Are Passports Needed to Go to Canada Via the Detroit Bridge or Tunnel?
How to Pack When Traveling to the Philippines
Thanks to its French roots, the Canadian province of Quebec has a decidedly European air and lends itself well to romance. Whether it's beautiful cities like Montreal or the untamed wilderness, Quebec has something for every visitor looking to experience the "joie de vivre." Before heading over the border, make sure you pack everything needed for a wonderful trip.
The Right Clothes for the Season
The province of Quebec has four distinct seasons and the weather varies greatly at different times of year. Spring and autumn are fairly mild, but bring clothes for layering and a waterproof coat to keep dry. Summers are hot and the perfect time for sundresses, shorts and other warm weather garb. Winters are very cold and snowy, requiring travelers to bundle up. Pack a hat, scarf, gloves, heavy coat and boots, in addition to warm socks and sweaters.
French-English Dictionary
French is the official language of Quebec, giving it a distinctly European air. Though many residents of the province speak English, knowing some French and being able to look up words and phrases in the language will be helpful. Invest in a small French-English dictionary or cellphone app to make travel easy and pleasant, helping your to connect with the locals in their native tongue.
Though Canada is just a hop over the border, visitors to Quebec still need the proper documents. Those crossing into Quebec via land can use a passport, a passport card, an enhanced driver's license that also proves citizenship, or an approved photo ID and a document proving citizenship, like a birth certificate. Air travelers need a valid passport to enter Quebec. Generally, Americans do not need visas if visiting Canada for less than six months.
Before traveling, exchange some American dollars for Canadians ones so the trip begins easily, without a desperate hunt for a bank or an ATM. Students should pack their school IDs, as various places in the province offer them discounted rates and prices. Women visiting Montreal and Quebec City should bring a pair of practical shoes for exploring, as both locales have cobblestone streets that are poorly suited to high heels.

Vehicle detection for better gas station business strategies
Pricing, new stations, or modification of opening hours are some of the decisions made based on data from Meshlium Scanner vehicle detection
Zoilo Ríos Gracia ran her father's grocery store. In 1927 there were hardly any cars on the street, but Zoilo came up with the idea of incorporating a fuel pump. That's when Zoilo Ríos, S.A. was established, with the first pump located in the industrial estate "El Portazgo", Zaragoza, Spain. Today, Grupo Zoilo Ríos is a gas and other services station chain with twenty lots and is discovering the benefits of IoT. A new twist in its business strategy in which Libelium's technology has assisted.
A couple of years ago, Grupo Zoilo Ríos, this chain of service stations, installed a Libelium solution for detecting Bluetooth devices in vehicles in the original station. Its purpose was to measure how many cars entered and left the gas station to cross this data with those of refuelling, cafeteria, store, car wash, and other services offered by the station.
» What has been the challenge of this field vehicle detection project?
Knowing cars that enter and leave or pass by the Grupo Zoilo Ríos service stations to adjust pricing and open hours.
» Which Libelium solutions work in this IoT project?
1 Meshlium Scanner.
Meshlium scanner for vehicle Bluetooth detection
Advance Soluciones company was born from the diversification of the Grupo Zoilo Ríos business lines and is dedicated to the design of an ERP solution for gas stations. This management software integrates data from various sources to redesign business strategies, assist in decision-making and improve the figures of service stations. Among all these integrated data are those collected by Meshlium Scanner. This Libelium gateway scans and detects smart devices that work with WiFi or Bluetooth technology (phones, tablets, hands-free, and even wearables, such as bands or smartwatches). Smart device scanning is a technology widely used in the retail sector as it allows for a more in-depth understanding of the customer's journey within shops and department stores. But this time, the tracking objective is the cars that enter and leave or pass by the Grupo Zoilo Ríos service stations.
A tool for price suggestions in gas stations
DynPrecio, the tool built by Advance Soluciones, helps to set fuel prices. It is designed in a web environment and starts from some input data and rules to get a price proposal that the station staff accept, discard, or modify. This input data is:
Purchase price of fuel
The sales price of the surrounding competition
History of litres sold in the past
Date and time of the sale
In addition to being able to calculate the price, it enables them to generate graphs with which they can conclude when modifying the rules for the pricing strategy.
Traffic data that changes the price strategy
The integration of Meshlium Scanner incorporates traffic data near the station that is blended with the rest of the data that the ERP already has (sales, litres of fuel, price, etc.). In this way, Grupo Zoilo Ríos can draw graphs that compare, for example, the number of vehicles detected versus the number of refuellings per hour. This allows them to optimize the pricing criteria based not only on internal variables but also on environmental variables.
Once the tool suggests a price, staff decide whether to apply it or not, but it can be configured to automate the change. When the new price is approved, automatically or manually, it is sent to all POS terminals with a minimum margin of one hour for its entry into force. When that time arrives, it is directly communicated to the pumps and price monoliths. The staff at the point of sale do not have to do anything. It's all automated. Finally, when that price is accepted, the platform sends an SMS to the Ministry of Industry and Consumer Affairs automatically. To guarantee maximum transparency, legislation requires that the communication of the new prices be made at least two hours in advance. Therefore, the software already considers those two hours and does not admit a previous schedule.
More info to better business decisions
But not everything is focused on the price.
By detecting the vehicles that pass in front of the gas station, they know whether or not a change in service hours is required. "Due to COVID, people's behaviours are changing and we have to continually adjust schedules. Although it is not an issue that ends at prices, it can also help in management ", says Ignacio Hombreiro, Product Manager of DYNGAS at Advance Soluciones.
Grupo Zoilo Ríos also used the solution to decide if it would be profitable to invest in a gas station located in front of the current one. The Meshlium Scanner detected how many cars passed on the road in the opposite direction. With the data in hand, they discovered that it was worth opening a service station with a quick return on investment. This decision based on data from IoT technology has helped them increase their business volume.
Considering the innovative approach of Grupo Zoilo Ríos, it is certain that they will implement more ideas with Libelium technology.

Bob Goes Fishing | About
Bob Goes Fishing
My fishing story
A story in two parts - a passion when young and a return in my later years.
As a lad fishing was a passion but through my working life it became an occasional thing. Retirement gave me the opportunity to return.
In my younger days I was a member of an angling club and we fished mainly in rivers, predominantly the Thames. There were no well-stocked 'commercial' lakes. Coming back to fishing I was seduced by the local 'commercial'. Carp were mythical fish when I was a lad and it was amazing to be able to catch them relatively easily in the 'commercial'.
My best was 19lb and I was hooked. But after a while things became a bit monotonous. It was to a large extent all so predictable.
I've now returned to the rivers, when in season, and in particular am seeking out smaller rivers and streams. I also have a bit of a thing about chub. Fishing in these natural environments brings with it the mystery of not knowing what the next cast will bring. And for me that's what fishing is all about.
From 35mm to video
At first I photographed the fish. Now I'm videoing my outings. Moving with the times!
In September 2020 I started videoing my outings. On the first trip I simply used my iPhone, either hand-held or on a tripod. As I filmed more trips I started to consider how to improve the footage. I carried on using the iPhone but dispensed with the tripod and started using a monopod. This was easier to plant on uneven banks.
On the earlier videos I added the commentary when I was processing the video for publication. This was because my iPhone was invariably too far away to reliably pick up my voice, while picking up much extraneous noise. In October 2020 I bought a body cam and from that point recorded live commentary, which was far more chatty and less formalised. I think this was a great improvement.
The body cam, however, had limitations, the main one being that the view was often obstructed by my arms when I was playing a fish. In February 2021, therefore, I bought a miniature camcorder that is worn above the right ear, providing an eye-level view. The camera is very light and the results were impressive. This is now my chosen camera for recording the action.
I was still using my iPhone for the 'long' shots but in June 2021 I bought a Panasonic camcorder with an impressive optical zoom. The intention was to record ambient material, such as wildlife, or a closeup on the float. But I was laid low during the summer awaiting a hip operation so the camera wasn't put into action immediately.
When I finally did try it, it became clear that the lightweight monopod wasn't stable enough for the heavier camera. I was reluctant to go back to my tripod because it was quite heavy and with my often roaming approach weight was a factor. Also, the legs had 'click-in' set adjustment lengths, which could make setting it up on an uneven bank difficult. So I continued using the iPhone for a while.
Wanting to use the camcorder, I investigated lightweight tripods and found a possible product on Amazon. Made with aluminium it is certainly light. It also has an adjustable head for levelling the camera and a quick-release block that allows you to attach or remove the camera very quickly. It also has a fitting to mount a smartphone. And the legs are adjustable using locking clamps, meaning that the adjustment is continuous rather than in discrete steps. It really ticks all the boxes and only cost £18.95!
The one remaining issue was audio. The head-cam has its own mic that works very well and having added a fluffy muffler is very tolerant of wind noise. I had bought an extension microphone lead for the iPhone, for long shots where I speak to the camera, which worked well after I had added an efficient wind muffler. But when I decided to start using the camcorder I had a problem, as it didn't accept an external mic.
To get around this I bought a cheap but effective voice recorder app for the iPhone and I now record using this with the extension lead mentioned previously. This has proved to be very effective. It is, however, necessary to create a synchronising sound, a sharp tap for example, so that the two soundtracks can be aligned when processing the video.
No doubt I'll continue to refine my approach as I get more experience.
Building this site
For those who are interested in such things, brief explanation of how the site has been constructed.
I use an application called RapidWeaver to build my sites. Historically the approach was, and for many people still is, to buy a pre-built theme, which could then be customised. Modules called Stacks can be bought from third party developers to provide specific functions not available within the basic RapidWeaver application.
Depending on the theme varying degrees of customisation are possible. By using Stacks and by writing CSS and/or HTML code snippets further customisation can be achieved. However, at the end of the day the theme remains the dominant determinant for the look and feel of the site.
A few years ago things changed when the framework concept was launched. With this approach you start with literally a blank sheet and the framework and associated stacks provide the necessary building blocks to create a bespoke site.
This site has been built with the Source micro framework by the developer Shaking the Habitual. I've also used the Splider, Animate and Scroller stacks from same developer. The diary page uses Poster 2, a set of advanced blogging stacks by inStacks Software.
The book reader stack, Pagelit, is by the developer 1LD.

MADRID, Spain -- As a result of talks here between the Federation of Commercial Aviation Pilots (FCAP) and the International Commercial Airline Association (ICAA), an agreement has been announced that would allow commercial airline pilots to continue on the job until the year of their 96th birthday. In a joint news release, the FCAP (the largest collective bargaining organization in the world, representing airline pilots in over 140 countries) and the ICAA (a major airline trade coalition) stated that this new agreement will apply to all current and future pilots and will become effective immediately.
According to Hans Theelmann, spokesperson for the ICAA, "the deal comes as a result of changing personnel factors within our industry. Our airline members have been adding additional aircraft to their fleets over the past few years as demand for air travel has been increasing. At the same time, however, the pool of personnel trained to pilot those aircraft has been shrinking due to age-triggered, mandatory retirements. Allowing current pilots to stay on the job longer will forestall any immediate personnel crunch and will offer pretty much life-time employment for pilots considering airline industry careers."
Among the adjustments to the new contract are a number of issues that will account for the needs of advanced-aged pilots. For instance, pilots will now be allowed up to 120 minutes of nap time while in flight and 40 minutes while parked at a terminal. Cockpit instruments will be reconfigured with larger readouts, and special, high-fidelity headphones will be available as needed. Moreover, during their annual pilot recertification tests, pilots over the age of 60 will be allowed twice as much time to perform emergency maneuvers as younger pilots.
Justine Polmoir, noted airline industry observer, said that she expects that this policy will rollover into the personnel policies of all airlines by the end of the year.

Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Woodstock
2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, the festival that would inspire all modern music festival to this day. While I understand 25th or 50th, but 40 seems kind of an odd milestone to me. Who can argue with Warner Brothers for re-releasing this epic 1970 documentary.
Contents from the Woodstock (Target Edition)
Perhaps they felt that they have the technology to remastered the original film onto high definition bluray (even though I doubt the Woodstock generation would care so much about technology), but nevertheless the DVD and Bluray packages are pretty impressive. Standard releases includes 4-discs (yes: that's right, nearly four hours), two bonus discs (additional concert footage that was ended up on the cutting floor, plus featurettes), leather (fake?) clothing, Life Magazine replica, a lucite lenticular display, and a patch. There is also a limited edition Target version, which comes with a full-sized canvas tambourine (instead of the patch) and oversized circular box.
Although the music festival only lasted three days, you can tell that director, Michael Wadleigh, started his work weeks before that August 15th date. The daunting task of editing all the footage ended up on Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker's laps (who was nominated for Academy Award for Film Editing, but lost to Hugh S. Fowler for his work on "Patton").
The documentary opens up with an old gentlemen, who talked frankly about how in all his life, he's never seen anything quite like it. For a show that was only meant to house 50,000 people in a field at best, about a million people showed up. It slowly cut in "the kids" showing up days early in anticipation for the show, as they're still building the center stage. The music they used in the background was mostly Crosby, Stills & Nash ("Wooden Ships", "Long Time Gone") - who would later appear to end the first part of the documentary.
Incidentally, the band later had a major hit a Joni Mitchell-written song called "Woodstock", inspired by her then-boyfriend Graham Nash and seeing Woodstock on television. Mitchell never went to Woodstock, herself, she had a conflict on those dates by appearing live on The Dick Cavett Show for ABC television (you can actually see her appearance on the The Dick Cavett Show - Rock Icons (3 DVD Set)).
Back to Woodstock, the live performance are up close and personal, you can see every sweat & tear from the performers. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of technology, some of the filming looks soft and not as crisp as modern recording devices. You see a lot of film grains, and on occasion, spots and cuts. Colors are not as vibrant, but overall, most people are not going to notice these imperfections. Audio-wise, I had no problems with the audio.
Some key moments in the documentary you should look out for: Joe Cocker's version of The Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends", Sha Na Na's version of Danny & the Juniors' "At the Hop", Janis Joplin's "Work Me Lord" and Jimi Hendrix's unforgettable "Purple Haze".
Like many of you, this release of Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music is the only means of giving us a glimpse an era gone by. Unfortunately, the only drawback is the pricing of this product retails for $49.95, which is a bit of a luxury for most people. You can probably netflix this, but the way it's packaged (with all the goodies), it is marketed to be owned by consumers.

A literature essay is one where the writer analyzes a certain part of the work to show what they learned from the book or how the author did certain things in the book to convey his or her ideas to the reader. Since literature essays have been written on the same books over and over again it can be hard to find a fresh topic to do your essay on.
If you have the chance to choose your own topic for this kind of essay, you can start to find fresh ideas by reading the other ideas that other students have done on the subject. The best thing to do is to do a Google search of the book essays that are available online and read them over to see what others did and to give you ideas on what you might want to do your topic on. I'm going to give you some general ideas that you can use to come up with fresh ideas for you topic.
Gender Roles In The Novel: Since most books that you read are from different times periods, you can examine how men and woman had different gender roles in different time periods. You can examine their rights and how they handle themselves in that time period.
Genre Comparison: If you can do a general literature essay, you can compare and contrast the different literary genres. Here you can examine how each is written and how each one of them is different then the other.
The Author's Background: The way an author grew up or what time period they lived in can shape the kind of work that they write. Examining this can give you insight on who the author is and why they write the way that they do.
Politics: Novels like Uncle Tom's Cabin and other books like this touch base on things like discrimination, rights, and equality. If the book you have to do your essay on has themes like this, you can do an essay on this kind of issue.
Religion: If your book has religious themes in it you can focus your essay on that aspect in your essay.
Compare Two Characters: Comparing two characters in an essay shows the reader the difference between the character and how they helped shape the story. A Separate Peace is a good example of two totally different characters that became best friends, Gene and Finny. Though best friends, they had different personalities and didn't always see eye to eye.


Healy was born in Chicago, Illinois. He played the lead character "Craig" in E.L. Katz' dark comedy thriller Cheap Thrills, and substantial central roles in Ti West's The Innkeepers, Craig Zobel's Great World of Sound, and Compliance (also directed by Zobel). He has also appeared in memorable supporting roles in Magnolia (as the pharmacist at the receiving end of Julianne Moore's profane meltdown), Ghost World, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Harmony and Me, Dirty Girl, Snow Angels, Rescue Dawn (2006), Undertow, Pearl Harbor, and Home Alone 3.
He also appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Draft Day starring Kevin Costner.
On television, he has starred on Eagleheart, and appeared on Six Feet Under, Star Trek: Enterprise, 24, Grey's Anatomy, The Shield, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Without a Trace, NCIS, Cold Case, Charmed, CSI: Miami, Chicago Hope, NYPD Blue, and The Practice.
Pat has written three episodes of HBO's In Treatment (Weeks 1-3 of Walter's – played by John Mahoney – sessions in Season 2), and wrote and directed the 2000 short film Mullitt starring Healy, Michael Shannon and Henry Gibson.
He is an ex-member of the comedy sketch group, "The Pretty Okay Ho-Hum Spectacular on Ice!" . 2015 played also one of the leading roles in the Anthology film Tales of Halloween.

UR ENTERTAINED
J. Cole World Domination
Although hip-hop fans have declared him as one of the most underrated artists in hip-hop, J. Cole has been on a hot streak since his debut with Roc Nation. Having already published two #1 albums in the past couple years, Cole's latest record has added yet another gem to add to his collection as he continues to pick up speed and notoriety.
As you can imagine, the praise has been bonded with criticism as fans hunger for Cole-features that remained unfulfilled. Regardless, facts can't be denied – he stands incomparable, adding a fresh, optimistic contestant in the group of budding lyrical-heavyweights offering more to the rap game than just a looped hook and a beat. An appearance on the Dave Letterman Show validated Cole's steady transformation as he performed "Be Free", a bitter and heart-piercing cry for understanding and equality.
The project that has been on everyone's tongue since its drop, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard charts and set a U.S. record for the most streamed album within a week. 2014 Forest Hills Drive silenced many mainstream critics' tongues that doubted his versatility and ability to deliver; recognizing the sentiment of his craft as he molds hip-hop back to its former roots. Jermaine had social media buzzing as fans excitedly awaited the album's release. Their anticipation was not wasted as Cole applied smooth instrumentals to his lyrical ability of old-school storytelling. As a tribute to personal issues endured since having his dreams come true, 2014 Forest Hills Drive (titled after his childhood home in North Carolina) touches on many controversial subjects, including the whitewashing of hip-hop, bluntly naming Iggy Azalea and Macklemore.
The rapper's growth is apparent as he establishes a new standard that should be expected from our celebrity obsessions by calling out those who failed to voice intolerance against civil injustices as opposed to hiding behind money and materialistic lifestyles. Cole unapologetically stood with Ferguson protesters, paying respects to the slain teen, Mike Brown, whose tragic death caused nationwide unrest against police brutality against minority youth.
By way of well-rounded ideals and disregard for playing into the hand of record labels, Cole is setting a heightened bar for characterizing hip-hop idols, a depth that has not been seen in rap culture for decades. The gold chains don't matter – Cole vowed not to wear them. Cars no longer matter – on the Angie Martinez radio show, Cole revealed he sold his luxury car replacing it with a bike he now uses to travel throughout New York City.
J. Cole left 2014 with a bang and may be categorized, by some, as one of the golden visionaries of our time – only time will tell. Nevertheless, Cole is becoming an icon in his own right through his engagement with the people and his distinct, unfiltered style that has us anticipating what to expect during 2015.

Why Arabs Hear Sharon, Not Bush
By Tony Karon Thursday, Apr. 15, 2004
GPO/EPA
President Bush meets with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at the White House
Who are the Arabs going to believe, the Bush administration or Ariel Sharon? According to President Bush, Sharon's plan to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza while consolidating his grip on key West Bank settlements is a bold new start and an important step toward a two-state peace solution. Sharon, however, proclaims his plan a "heavy blow" to the Palestinians that forces them "to give up their aspirations for many years to come."
That discrepancy may explain why President Bush's approval Wednesday of Sharon's plan to unilaterally redraw the de facto boundaries between Israel and the Palestinians has provoked a chorus of criticism in the Middle East and Europe. Perhaps mindful of the inevitable backlash, President Bush framed his endorsement of Israel's claim to keep the bulk of its settlements in the West Bank as consistent with previous peace plans. "In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949," the President said. "And all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion." He added the important qualifier that Sharon's boundaries are temporary, and final borders between Israel and the Palestinians would have to be reached in negotiations between the two sides.
Despite the optimistic spin, President Bush's statements on settlements and his dismissal of any claim of a right of Palestinian refugees to return to their original homes in Israel were widely recognized on both sides of the Middle East divide as an epic victory for the Israeli prime minister. Previous negotiation proposals had indeed allowed Israel to keep some of the settlements in the occupied West Bank, but only as part of a comprehensive agreement with the Palestinian national leadership that included a splitting of Jerusalem and a surrender to the Palestinians of land inside Israel-proper equivalent to that annexed in the West Bank. In the absence of such a comprehensive deal — indeed, in the absence of any involvement at all by the Palestinians in the latest discussions — President Bush's comments are viewed by many Israelis and Arabs as a renunciation of a decades-old U.S. policy that treated the settlements as illegal and the 1949 armistice line (more commonly referred to as the 1967 borders) as the basis on which a peace agreement would have to be negotiated.
President Bush did leave himself plenty of exit ramps, citing the "road map" and UN Resolution 242 (which requires Israeli withdrawal from territory captured in 1967) as the basis for a political settlement that would determine the final borders. But the real significance of his statement on the issues of borders and refugees may come from the fact that they were made at a moment when there is no peace "process" to speak of, and the "road map" is entirely hypothetical. The only negotiations that went into Sharon's plan, and its endorsement by the Bush administration, have occurred within the ranks of Israel's ruling Likud party, and between it and the Bush administration. Arab leaders have been informed by Washington of Israel's plans, and asked to help out or told of their "responsibilities," but their objections have been largely ignored. And the Palestinian leadership has been entirely excluded, the Bush administration having long ago embraced Sharon's view that Yasser Arafat and his minions are wedded to violence and therefore not recognized as a negotiating partner — a position rejected by U.S. allies in Europe, including Britain, and the Arab world.
The End of Arafat?
There is no reason to believe the Palestinians plan to dump their elected president any time soon, and the most significant challenge to Arafat's leadership in Palestinian ranks comes from the Islamist radicals of Hamas and the rank-and-file of his own nationalist Fatah movement, which increasingly shares the Islamists' belief in the path of confrontation. Hence Sharon's recent remarks to an Israeli interviewer on his Gaza plan: "The Palestinians understand that this plan is, to a great extent, the end of their dreams, a very heavy blow to them," which, he said would "force them to give up their aspirations for many years to come, until a new leadership emerges on their side that is ready to fight terror." Sharon helped father the settlement movement in the 1970s despite U.S. objections and nurtured it in the belief that creating demographic "facts on the ground" would force policy changes. Bush's statement not only vindicated that effort, but also appears to have encouraged Mr. Sharon to pursue new "facts on the ground" by building a "security fence" that looks remarkably like a border.
The U.S. position obliges Sharon to proceed with the "road map" — but only once the Palestinians have chosen a new leadership willing to renounce violence. That could mean waiting a generation, or longer, while in the interim Sharon has won U.S. support for consolidating Israel's grip on settlements that every U.S. administration, including this one, had previously defined as an obstacle to peace. From the moment he assumed office, Sharon had made clear that he opposed the pursuit of a final peace agreement with the Palestinians, pressing instead for a long-term interim arrangement. And in Sharon's mind, that perspective now carries White House support.
And that may be a political death sentence for Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority. The generation of PLO leaders that embarked on the Oslo process had been derided by militants for putting all of its eggs in the basket of American goodwill, and Hamas crowed on Thursday that Bush's statements had vindicated its strategy of violence by proving that the path of negotiations pursued by Arafat and the PA was a dead end for Palestinian aspirations. And in light of the President's statement, it will be hard for PA leaders to sustain a belief among Palestinians in the idea of the U.S. as an "honest broker."
The political decline of the Palestinian Authority may now have entered its terminal phase. Its administrative and security structures have largely collapsed in the course of the intifada, and its institutional purpose — the completion of Oslo — appears to have outlived itself. Sharon has no intention of negotiating a settlement with the PA leadership. The PA's decline has been accompanied by the growing preeminence of Hamas and likeminded elements in Fatah, and it is that alliance that looks most likely to fill the political vacuum in Gaza once the Israelis withdraw. It is the prospect of the green and white banners of Hamas being hoisted over the vacated settlements of Gaza that has the hawkish faction of Sharon's own Likud party warning that withdrawal will be claimed by Palestinians as a victory for terrorism, and that like Israel's unilateral pullout from Lebanon in 2000, the result will be to encourage further violence.
Friends Like These
President Bush's perceived policy shift has predictably drawn a wave of criticism from U.S. allies in Middle East and Europe. It's worth remembering that the first Bush administration, in order to maintain Arab participation in its Gulf War coalition, threatened to cut Israel's funding in order to force a halt to settlement activity. But today's Iraq coalition has negligible participation by Arab allies, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq has turned most of their citizenry against the U.S. — it's not as if U.S. standing in the Arab world could fall much further. Except, perhaps, inside Iraq: the plight of the Palestinians is an issue close to the heart of many Iraqis, more so since they became an occupied people themselves. Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin drew a firestorm of criticism across the political spectrum in Iraq, and became a rallying point for anti-American violence that bridged the Shiite-Sunni divide. Signing off on Sharon's settlement policy and preemptively trashing the longstanding Arab shibboleth of a Palestinian "right of return" is unlikely to win the U.S. many friends in Iraq or among its neighbors — and right now, it could use a few more.

BPF offers small UK companies a more affordable route to K 2016
K Show_BPF
The BPF is offering small UK companies what it says is a more effective route to exhibiting at K 2016, as part of the association's two international pavilions.
Recognising smaller companies' need for financial support, the BPF says it has developed cost-effective, all-inclusive stand packages as small as 9sqm (compared to the minimum of 20sqm required to book as an individual company) on one of its two pavilions located in one of the two international halls; Hall 5 dedicated to materials and Hall 12 focused on machinery.
The K exhibition, which takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany on 19th-26th October 2016, is set to draw over 3,000 companies. The last edition of the show attracted well over 200,000 visitors from approximately 100 countries, solidifying the show's status as the largest plastics event in the world.
K 2013 saw the UK Plastics Industry being represented by over 100 companies; however this amounted to only three percent of the total number of exhibitors, with cost being cited as the main barrier to the show.
The BPF is encouraging interested companies to secure their place on one of its pavilions before the final cutoff date of Friday May 29, 2015 by following the instructions on its webpage: http://www.bpf.co.uk/events/k2016.aspx

A "Transitional Generation"
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959), which culminated in the ousting of authoritarian Cuban President Fulgencio Batista and the establishment of a revolutionary communist regime led by Fidel Castro. Over time artists have reacted to, recorded, and reflected on the millions of lives impacted during the Revolution and in the years following.
Born in Havana in 1946, José A. Figueroa, has been a chronicler of daily life in the island nation for more than 40 years. Considered a part of the "transitional generation," described by Cristina Vives -the artist's wife- as too young to have been an active participant in the Revolution but old enough to witness it, his body of work offers a unique perspective of this time. He not only documents the historical significance of the years right after the Cuban Revolution, but offers an intimate look at his experience. Images of political figures like Fidel Castro and the Argentine revolutionary leader, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, armed soldiers, and numerous rallies abound in the historical record. In addition to these documentary photographs that speak to his experience as a photojournalist, Figueroa captures intimate snapshots of life in Cuba—he often portrays his family and close friends engaging in everyday activities. From the last portrait a family took together before leaving the island to images of children on the street, the artist has referred to his work as a "Cuban self-portrait;" representing with equal power individual experience and historical event.

Man, Mansion, and Motion (II) A Forward History of Homesteading and Horsepowering
Alexandru Rîpa
The last argument concluded by leaving an open door to the second facet of our topic: the duality of transport/mobility & house/stability. We set up the context of our discussion based on the relationship between action and movement, which has applicability in the analysed duality. We argued how the action axiom is the spine of the above dualism and we performed afterwards a short review of the history of transport from its roots to its forthcoming developments. Having taken care of transport, we will discuss in this article how humans acted with regard to the concept of homesteading.
Home and castle
Before moving further, we should offer up a definition of homesteading to pre-empt appeal to one of the many others in circulation. We will treat homesteading according to its definition from the Oxford Dictionary – Life as a settler on a homestead – and we will consider a homestead to be a household and, in current vernacular, a house.
As bygone times reveal, in the beginning man used caves and other natural structures in order to take shelter. Too much to be called shelters, yet enough to be called home. While the first means of transport were represented by self-locomotion, the first homes were personified by what one could carry or display around oneself. But when prehistoric people got out from caves and started to use sledges in order to transport goods, they also established the first so called hand-built settlements: an example would be tents made from mammoth skin with bones used as props. On the other hand, the true settlements at their most rudimentary lives came with agriculture and the accompanying settling down, which eventually led to building houses from bricks or other forms of processed materials, which lead to longer lasting constructions. As this is not a historical narration, further details are left to the reader to investigate. Stability (represented here by homesteading and homes in general) is exactly another form of action. Man acts first by determining the need of having a roof above his head. He does not need to move physically or to act properly yet, but to be conscious of his need, which will trigger the acquisitive process. In accordance with the human action axiom, a man staying inside his home is a man in action, performing the conscious act of staying.
The homestead got to evolve. The first towns were made of houses with few amenities or features, including windows or sealed barriers, sometimes with the roof serving as the access. Then, step by step people started to build improved homes, from cabins or huts made of wood, to houses made of bricks and stone. They became larger, in accordance with social status, some buildings serving as homes for obvious and self-conscious elites. Higher mobility and the scarcity of valuable real estate led to transactions for the transfer of property, and eventually a real estate industry sprang into existence to mediate and profit from this need. In contrast to today, the homes were often closely tied to the livelihood of the owner, coming attached with land, service infrastructure, special rights or commercial space. Financialization in modern and recent times has made real estate into one of the most profitable areas to invest in, but also one of the most volatile ones. This drives significant profits for investors, landlords and for the public sector, through property taxes. This flourishing business sector acted in a self-reinforcing pattern, becoming an integral part of the economy.
Man developed knowledge on how to build better, and the limits of architecture got pushed. Mathematics combined with an eye towards aesthetics and growing insight into functionality in order to upgrade and update. Skyscrapers were the apotheosis of the 20th century thrill for height, size and industry, though they conformed to the age old need to show off.
Urbanization led to a homestead which involved the practical day to day living of the family within a closed space with few outside enclosures and a growing need of social distance and virtual privacy to compensate for the lack of actual distance and privacy. Thin walls are a problem today, as is the psychological effect of crowded living. Technological revolutions, productivity and concentration of infrastructure make more and more people choose this lifestyle and the structure of the economy requires less muscle power and more sedentary work involving knowledge. Office buildings became an extension of the homestead with colleagues and friends that came into being as so called professional families, starting with guilds and ending with today's corporate pretences of "esprit de corps". While transportation advanced from land to sea and air, and incremental innovation followed epochal changes, the homes advanced in fits and starts, subject less to technological upheavals (thought these also took place) and more to revolutions in lifestyles. Visionary and cutting-edge design were implemented in offices but also public buildings, with private homes lagging.
The ultimate trend in homes is represented by the solar design houses. In order to better use and conserve energy, man developed 2 types of solar homes: the one based on active heating systems, which uses a collector to absorb sunlight, and the one based on a passive solar design that initially collects, then stores, so that in the end distributes the energy as heat, or just simply reject the sunlight to maintain a cool environment. The last one has the potential and advantage of not including in its functioning process any device (mechanic or electric).
In homesteading, after fruitless diversions in seasteading, the most prestigious and transcendent plan belongs to Elon Musk and his plan for human civilization spreading to Mars. The Mars colony plan is a next step in the evolution of stability, this time mediate by interplanetary mobility. This is the next level we may say, though it will be awhile until our outposts will turn into large human communities.
