Posted January 18th, 2016 - News Posted for Australia News, World Surfing News.
Jordan Mercer celebrates after being crowned the Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series Champion.
Sunshine Coast Daily – Ominously for her rivals, newly crowned Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series champion Jordan Mercer believes she can only get better.
The 23-year-old from Noosa Heads yesterday followed in the footsteps of her father, Darren Mercer, to win the iconic summer competition.
"It's such an incredible moment, a bit like a fairytale" she said.
Mercer held the joint lead with club mate Kirsty Higgison coming into the sixth and final round at North Cronulla.
But she capped off her campaign in style by winning the eliminator event to finish ahead of Higgison and Brodie Moir in the overall standings.
"I had every opportunity (to win the series) and I really didn't want to let this slip so the nerves were high, as you would expect," she said.
Mercer, whose nickname is "Magic", also won round two at Coolum in November and was highly consistent across the rounds.
And the series triumph could be just the start of big things for her.
"I'm excited because this season I feel like I have really found some good form," she said.
Mercer burst on to the surf scene when she qualified for the series as a 16-year-old.
As the daughter of a six-time series champion who won the Coolangatta Gold and an Australian ironman title, she immediately attracted attention.
She has since won five Molokai to Oahu world paddleboard titles and has been competitive in ironwoman events under the coaching of her father.
But she didn't win her first round of the series until two months ago.
But Mercer admitted it had been difficult at times carrying the family name.
"Right from the start my dad was my first hero and I think being in the same sport and following the same sort of dreams and achievements was definitely tough at times," she said.
But she now feels like she is racing with more freedom than ever.
"I guess there was a perspective change," she said.
Mercer lauded the performance of rookie Higgison.
"I've got so much respect for her," she said.

Solar Panel Price
Solar Panels are the source of energy which capture energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Solar panel price or cost anywhere between Rs 20 per watt to Rs 30 per watt depending on the quantity. Generally, types of solar panels are Monocrystalline solar panel, Polycrystalline solar panel and Thin-film solar panels. Each type of solar panels has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Solar Panel Price List
Solar Panel Price Per watt(Rs)
Solar Panel 50 watt 2000 40
Solar Panel 100 watt 3500 35
Types of Solar Panels ?
Thin Film Solar Panel
Solar Panel Types Advantages Disadvantages
Mono crystalline Solar Panel High efficiency/ performance Higher costs
Efficiency upto 22 %
Temperature co-efficient
Occupy less space
Poly crystalline Solar Panel Low cost Lower efficiency/ performance
Slightly lower heat tolerance Efficiency typically 15-18%
Occupy more space
Thin Film Solar Panel Lightweight and Flexible Lowest efficiency/ performance
Efficiency typically 08-14%
Shorter Warranty
Monocrystalline solar panels solar cells are made from a single crystal of silicon. Monocrystalline solar panels are generally thought as a premium solar product. The main advantages of monocrystalline solar panels are higher efficient. In these solar panels, silicon is formed into bars and cut into wafers, as we know the cell is composed of a single crystal, so electrons that generate a flow of electricity have more room to move.
Advantages of Monocrystalline solar panel
Highest efficiency as a comparison to other types of solar panels.
Monocrystalline solar panels convert more than 22% of sunlight into electricity.
Monocrystalline solar panels are space-efficient, they also occupy the less amount of space compared to any other types of solar panels.
Monocrystalline solar panels have a long lifespan of a 25-year warranty.
These solar panels are temperature co-efficient.
Disadvantages of Monocrystalline solar panel
Monocrystalline solar panels are the most expensive. But most of the manufacturers making monocrystalline solar panels targeting the premium brand in the market.
Monocrystalline Solar Panel Price List
Monocrystalline Solar Panel Price Per watt(Rs)
Solar Panel 350 Watt 11900 34
Polycrystalline solar panels have solar cells which made from many silicon fragments that are melted together in a mould before being cut into wafers. Polycrystalline solar panels were previously thought to be inferior as a comparison to monocrystalline solar panel because they are slightly less efficient, however, because of the cheaper method by which they are made of coupled with only slightly lower efficiencies they have become the dominant technology in solar panels market.
Advantages of Polycrystalline solar panel
The process used to make polycrystalline solar panel is simpler and less costly.
In polycrystalline solar panel, the amount of waste silicon is less compared to a monocrystalline solar panel.
Polycrystalline solar panels tend to have slightly lower heat tolerance as other types of solar panels.
Polycrystalline solar panels will tend to have a higher temperature coefficient as a comparison to other than solar modules made with mono cells. This means that as heat increased output of polycrystalline solar panels cell will fall less. However, in practice, these differences are very minor.
Disadvantages of Polycrystalline solar panel
Polycrystalline solar panels cover a larger surface to output the same electrical power as monocrystalline solar panel produces.
The efficiency of polycrystalline solar panels is typically 15-18%. Because of lower silicon purity, polycrystalline solar panels are not as efficient as a comparison to monocrystalline solar panels.
Polycrystalline solar panels have Lower space-efficiency.
Thin-film solar panels are a totally different technology as a comparison to Monocrystalline solar panels and Polycrystalline solar panels. A thin-film solar panel can be identified as a solid black appearance, if the solar panels have no frame it is a thin-film solar panel.
Advantages of Thin Film solar panel
Thin Film solar panels are cheaper to manufacture as a comparison to crystalline-based solar panels.
Thin Film solar panels can be made flexible, which opens for many new potential applications.
In Thin Film, solar panel high temperatures and shading have less impact on solar panel performance.
Disadvantages of Thin Film solar panel
The efficiency of polycrystalline solar panels is typically 08-14%.
Thin-film solar panels are in general not very useful for in most residential situations because they require a lot of space.
Crystalline solar panels produce up to four times more output as thin-film solar panels for the same amount of space.
Thin-film solar panels tend to degrade faster than the crystalline solar panel that is why they typically come with a shorter warranty.

To make the most of our free time, Scott Dooley made arrangements with Chiang Mai Adventures for a day of fun and of course... adventure! We were picked up by a company guide and headed about an hour out of the city. We passed rice fields in various stages of planting or growth. Trade stores and "kai bars" dotted the way, just like PNG with an Asian twist. The forested hills and patches of banana trees also reminded me of home. An occasional elephant walking down the road reminded me that I was in another world.
Olivia Dooley was the youngest member of our group and too small for the first of our adventures, so she and her mom were dropped off for a ride at the elephant farm.
The rest of us unloaded at Zipline Chiangmai. We were helmeted and harnessed with all sorts safety contraptions. We were briefed on the appropriate techniques for flying through the air, both right side up and upside down, and then spent a few moments practicing what we had learned. A short hike took us to the start of the 12 line route. One by one we zoomed through the air, flying between trees and over a beautiful river. The longest of the lines was 400 meters. Now, I am generally afraid of heights. I admit I was a bit of a tree hugger at the beginning, but soon relaxed and had a incredible time! I even zipped upside down and have pictures to prove it. Aaron would be sooo proud!
After collecting Gail and Olivia, we paused for a brief lunch. We then piled into the back of a pick-up and rode about 30 minutes to the launch point of our next adventure... white water rafting. There was another session on rafting techniques and safety. We were handed helmets, life jackets, and paddles. Becky and the Bennetts and I geared up and climbed into the first raft. "Paul" was our guide and comedian for the afternoon. The first part of the trip was rather mild, like a lazy canoe trip down the Kokosing river. But we were not to disappointed and soon plummeted over some class 3-4 rapids. We didn't lose one passenger along the way. Though Paul did play a trick and flipped us all into the water of one of the calmer sections of the river. What a blast!
Back in Chaing Mai, part of our group gathered for dinner at Pizza Hut. What a treat to order pizza, rather than make it from scratch! After dinner, Jessica and Ethan Myers and I all had our very first Thai massages (one hour for about $5). It was fun to experience, but one was probably enough to last me until I come back in 4 years. Ooch!
Only thing left to try now is skydiving.

Imprisoned journalist loses 30 kg amid kidney disease as family asks for help
by TurkeyPurge | Nov 18, 2017 | Today in Crackdown
Rahime Gül Çetinkaya has begged for help for her father, veteran journalist Tuncer Çetinkaya, who faces the risk of death from serious health complications after he was jailed 16 months ago in Turkey along with hundreds of colleagues.
"My father lost 30 kilogram after he was jailed. He has been diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Despite a medical report stating that he must remain at home, they have not released my father," Rahime Gül Çetinkaya said in a message to Turkish Minute.
Tuncer Çetinkaya, a bureau chief for one-time best-selling newspaper Zaman, which was unlawfully seized by the government and subsequently shut down, was detained on July 23, 2016 and jailed in Döşemealtı Prison in Antalya province.
"Psychology is important factor for patients. My father was tortured in prison. His medications were not given to him for five months. His disease has reached a critical phase," said Rahime Gül Çetinkaya.
On January 22, 2017 Çetinkaya had hernia surgery; yet, authorities failed to inform the family about it. None of his relatives were allowed to stay with him at hospital during recovery after they finally received news of his hospitalization, a blatant violation of his rights in pretrial detention.
"After the surgery, he was kept in a surgical gown for eight hours in a barred room next to the morgue. Later he was dragged back to prison," his daughter said.
"My father was not allowed to go to the doctor despite the fact that he has serious pain due to his kidney disease. We wrote petitions, we met with the prosecutor, but nothing has changed. They told me my father has to wait because 700 prisoners are also waiting for a doctor," Rahime Gül Çetinkaya added.
"My father is innocent, and that will be proven in court. But who will give my father back his health? He cannot stay in prison any longer. The medical reports say so. He has been a journalist for 25 years. I want him to be free."
Turkey was ranked 155th among 180 countries in the 2017 World Press Freedom Index released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on April 26.
If Turkey falls four more ranks, it will make it to the list of the countries on the blacklist, which has the poorest records in press freedom.
The US-based Freedom House, an independent watchdog organization dedicated to the expansion of freedom around the world, has named Turkey as among the countries that have a "not free" press, in a report released on April 28.
According to Freedom of the Press 2017, the Turkish government, using enhanced powers under a state of emergency, carried out a massive purge of media outlets accused of links to an attempted military coup in July.
Turkey is the biggest jailer of journalists in the world. The most recent figures documented by the Stockholm Center for Freedom (SCF) show that 253 journalists and media workers were in jail as of Nov. 5, 2017, most in pre-trial detention without having been convicted. Of those in Turkish prisons, 228 are under arrest pending trial, while only 25 journalists have been convicted and are serving time. Detention warrants are outstanding for 133 journalists who live in exile or remain at large in Turkey.
The government also closed down more than 180 media outlets after a failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016.

This book was hilarious, exciting and extremely satisfying. Strongly recommended. You have to give it a shot.
This book describes the history of the foods we love, the people that hate it, and why it's far better and has greater depth than we expected. A fun book.
I love a good superhero story, and this doesn't disappoint. The conflict is there, both within the two protagonists of the story and among different characters. There is spectacle, there are memorable scenes you will remember long after you finish the story, and compelling characters.
1. The handful of unresolved and critical storyline threads, a couple of which absolutely need to come to fruition.
2. A brand new conflict is introduced almost immediately after the inevitable final showdown ends. This could have easily been left for the prologue of the next book.
1. Pillars of Eternity: How crowdfunding changes the rules, and changes the priorities of the developer who promised backers certain gameplay features, against deadlines and a limited budget. This story provides a better understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of crowdfunding.
2. Uncharted 4: How too much success affects a studio, and how to successfully end a successful series. It is also the story of The Last of Us, which nobody expected to be successful early on. I enjoyed all the possibilities of how different this game could have been.
3. Stardew Valley: The great risks and heartwarming payoff of going solo. The ending made me want to play this game.
4. Diablo 3: The troubles of online-only games, and the angst and pressures of racing against time to meet player expectations. In the end, it is a success story that had a lot of challenges and frustrations along the way.
5. Halo Wars: How games are transformed in the middle of development, and the pressures of working against a deadline. The Age of Empires developers are behind Halo Wars. Who knew?
6. Dragon Age: Inquisition: How EA corporate politics and poor can slow down game development and creates a large degree of developer frustration. After reading this, I have a better understanding of why EA is a blight on video games.
7. Shovel Knight: The quest to create an iconic character inspired by classic NES games and characters. It provides an insider look into an indie game team and the challenges they face.
8. Destiny: The challenges of combining multiple genres and trying to create something that's never been done before, and how past successes tend to dictate what the next success would look like. It is also the story of how a developer matures.
9. The Witcher 3: The reason for the volume and quality of content is revealed, in one of the most fascinating and enjoyable chapters of this audiobook.
10. Star Wars 1313: How a game that can do no wrong ends up being buried due to corporate politics. Delayed because of Disney and canceled outright by EA, this is the game that makes you wonder, what if? Also, f*ck EA.
This is what happened when the cave men argued against fire, or when technophobes riled against the Internet. It's another instance of the backlash against anything new, and it will unfortunately continue in a series of generational battles as long as people are around.
Listen to this, and promise yourself that you won't be part of the problem when a new technology emerges.
Finally, a book that tells you to stop screwing yourself up with what-ifs and why-nots and instead do something good. It challenges you to stop listening if you're unsatisfied with what's being said, but you know you can't. It is profound.
Imagine taking a hike along the windswept red plains of Mars to dig for signs of life or touring one of Jupiter's 64 moons, where you can photograph its swirling storms. For a shorter trip on a tight budget, the moon is quite majestic and very quiet if you can make it during the off-season. Packed with real-world science, The Vacation Guide to the Solar System is the must-have planning guide for the curious space adventurer, covering all of the essentials for your next voyage, how to get there, and what to do when you arrive.
Once in a while, a unique audiobook comes along that's just a joy to listen to. This is one of them. It goes through all the planets and major celestial bodies (even Pluto), and explores what it takes to get there, how to survive and what to expect. This is a work of genius.
At this point of the series, one has to wonder if there's any reason why I even bother. The characters are caricatures of themselves, the story is going nowhere and the next book had better be the series finale.
Bryan Cranston provides a rich and captivating autobiography, detailing his beginnings, his successes and his failures. This is a story worth listening to.
"Are you happy?" is a question that kills any joy most of us have. In our hopeless and endless pursuit to find happiness, we miss out on the happiness and positivity we might otherwise enjoy.

Jones is off in shake-up
FOOTBALL: VETERAN striker Graeme Jones has left Bury after being released from his contract at Gigg Lane.
VETERAN striker Graeme Jones has left Bury after being released from his contract at Gigg Lane.
The 34-year-old made just three brief appearances after joining the Shakers from Boston during the summer.
"For whatever reason, it's not quite worked out and he may be joining a club in Scotland," boss Graham Barrow said. "But there will be no player coming in to replace him. It's a wage saved and that's the only fact that matters."
Jones has scored 85 League goals in nearly 300 appearances for Doncaster, Wigan, St Johnstone, Southend, Boston and Bury.
Clyde manager Billy Reid admitted last week that Jones was one of the strikers he had been looking at.

From when I can remember, my extended family (my mother has 11 siblings!) would gather everyday of the Navrathri pooja, and sing a set of 30 songs composed by Akka Paati. From the youngest toddler to the oldest thaatha and paatti, everyone knows and sings these songs even today. I never knew anything about Akka Paati until a few days ago, when my mother narrated her story to me, all choked up.
Akka Paatti was my maternal grandfather's mother's elder sister. Since my great grandmother called her 'Akka' (elder sister), my mother, aunts and uncles called her 'Akka Paatti' (elder sister - grandma). Since my grandfather's mother died at a young age, he and his siblings were all brought up by her.
Akka Paatti lived an ordinary life of a traditional housewife. But it seems like she lived an extraordinary life of a bhakta (devotee). At nights, my mother would hear her sing devotional songs, which she would ask my mother or my grandmother to write down the following morning. In her lifetime, Akka Paatti composed close to 500 songs in Tamil and Kannada in different ragas and talas, out of which only about 100 remain in print. The rest have been forgotten.
One day last week, I was there to be part of the ritualistic group singing. As we came to the 29th song in Madyamavathi ragam, I choked.
naan pandu pol aaraadikka paangudan veetriruppai (poruththaruLvaai)"
Mother, Please bear with them.
Forgive them for their ignorant mistakes, and protect them.
Love and forgive these children who know not what they are doing.
Stay here with all your grace for me to worship you everyday.
Akka Paatti knew about her death exactly 15 days before it, and asked for her son to take her to spend her last days with him. But while on her death bed, her daughter in law abused her endlessly. Akka Paatti composed this song (her very last) asking for forgiveness for her. Such extreme compassion that she was capable of speaks volumes of her goldliness! I am getting ready to learn some of her other compositions where she talks about the madness of the material world, the illusion created by the mind, and pleads God to help her dissolve her ego and its arrogance and simply surrender!
When I was young, singing Akka Paatti's songs along with my cousins used to be nothing more than a fun ritual. As I grew up, singing her songs took on newer meanings for me. This time, it was a deeply devotion-filled experience. I really felt like I bathed in her divine energy!
enga appava contact pannu. he has some stories to tell if u r interested. not only that song. most other compositions( or all!!?) are really good ones.
karuna sagara moorthie nee indha kayam irukkum podhe smarippai.
here kayam means the physical body. kayam irukkum podhe implies that though i'l experience u or die in u after this body goes, do show up b4 this body goes.
innum paaraa mugam(y)eno? dhayavudan vandhennai tharkaatharulvai.
tharkaappu is self defence/protection. when does YOU defending/protecting ME become tharkappu? when u become me or vice versa. here the essence of vishistadvaita is told.
dharaniyulake dhana dhaanya sampathgalaniyu neeve pradhana magizhchi. this shows how she perceives the Thaayar.
and she's good poet too.

Thanks Arun for that comment. Yes, I should speak to your dad about her. And I didn't know about that printed book. Will take a look at it. Didn't know you had taken so much interest and done so much research into Akka Paatti's songs! Will talk more later.
I found her picture too!


The US banking sector continues to outperform the broader market. Furthermore, for the first time this year, regional bank shares are outperforming the overall bank index, which is driven primarily by the largest banks.
The key reason for the strong performance among US banks remains the steepening treasury curve. Banks pay next to nothing on deposits while charging a rate that is often linked to treasuries on the loans they make. The steeper the curve, the wider the "margin". And given the leverage inherent in the banking system, even a small margin increase materially improves the return on equity.
The treasury curve has been steepening sharply in recent weeks - as seen from the spread between the 10y and the 2y yields (as well as 30y and 2y).
What's driving this steepening? Historically, rising longer dated bond yields were caused by higher inflation expectations. That's not the case this time around. In fact as the chart below shows, longer-term inflation expectations have been declining.
The rise in yields is instead mostly driven by higher expectations of earlier and faster reductions in securities purchases by the Fed. In particular, some at the Fed have been happy to see a bit of stabilization in monthly payrolls growth (at around 200K).
The sustainability of this trend is yet to be proven, but combined with better GDP figures (see chart) and improved new home sales (see chart), these data may be sufficient to push even this dovish FOMC into launching its exit sooner than expected. The fact that corporate spreads are at the levels not seen since 2007 (see post) doesn't help the case for maintaining the current pace of QE either.
At the same time, Bernanke was quite clear that it will be some time before the Fed will begin pushing up short-term rates - even after QE ends. We therefore have the short-term rates (and therefore bank deposit rates) remaining near zero, while longer term rates rising due to expectations of taper. This is resulting in significant curve steepening, a great environment for banks.
The next question is why all of a sudden we are seeing regional banks outperforming the overall banking sector. The answer has to do with the changing regulatory landscape, as the Volcker Rule is about to go into effect.
WSJ: - Barring a last-minute surprise, the votes will result in tighter restrictions on certain trading activities that go beyond what regulators had agreed to just a few weeks ago, according to people familiar with the matter. Since then, regulators have been locked in tense negotiations that threatened to upend the provision.
Under the final rule, regulators are expected to closely track trading activities with an eye on whether certain trades known as hedges are designed to post a profit rather than offset risks that accompany trading with clients. The finished version of the Volcker rule is likely to require that hedges be designed to reduce specific risks, according to a portion of the proposed rule reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Hedging activity should shrink or alleviate "one or more specific, identifiable risks" such as market risk, currency or foreign-exchange risk, and interest-rate risk, the language says.
"This is the new era of Big Brother banking," said Michael Mayo, an analyst with CLSA Americas. "Now banks' fortunes are more closely tied to the government."
This "Big Brother banking" will have a far greater effect on the largest financial institutions than on the regional or smaller banks. The inability to trade in "prop" accounts is already resulting in reduced liquidity and weaker market making capability among the larger banks. As a result, in the US bond markets for example, banks often do little more than act as "introduction brokers" for a quarter-point spread. In some instances this is far cry from the high volume market-making activities banks used to be involved in. All this is resulting in declining "sales & trading" revenue for the largest banks.
Bloomberg: - The $44 billion at stake represents principal trading revenue at the five largest Wall Street firms in the 12 months ended Sept. 30, led by New York-based JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. lender, with $11.4 billion. An additional $14 billion of the banks' investment revenue could be reduced by the rule's limits on stakes in hedge funds and private-equity deals. Collectively, the sum represents 18 percent of the companies' revenue.
Not facing these same headwinds, regional banks are now outperforming.

Home / FIJI: Supreme Court hears multi party cabinet case: What next?
FIJI: Supreme Court hears multi party cabinet case: What next?
Paper no. 725 29.06.2003
by Dr. S. Chandrasekharan
The Supreme Court finally took up for hearing the multi party cabinet case on June 18.
The case in brief is as follows. After the General election in 2001, the Prime minister of Fiji is required under section 99(5) of the Fiji Constitution of 1997 to permit any party holding at least ten percent of the seats in the House of Representatives and which is not already in the government be represented in Cabinet in proportion to its membership in the House. This provision was introduced essentially to ensure that both, the ethnic communities the Fijians and Indo Fijians have a substantial presence in any cabinet formed for running the government.
In accordance with these provisions, Prime Minister Qarase invited Chaudhry's party to join the cabinet on September 10, 2001 and Mahendra Chaudhry in return accepted the invitation. However Qarase did not either consult or include any of the representatives of the Fiji Labour Party headed by Chaudhry. The action of the Prime minister was challenged in the lower court and finally it has come up before the Supreme Court of Fiji.
The Fiji Court of Appeals on a reference by the High Court gave specific replies to questions posed by the High Court and it is this matter that is being deliberated by the Supreme Court.
The response of the Court of Appeals on the points raised were-.
1. The letter of invitation of Prime Minister and the acceptance of opposition leader were in accordance with the section 99 of the Constitution.
2. The Prime minister was required under section 99(9) of the Constitution to consult Mr. Chaudhry in inducting members of the opposition party into the cabinet and this provision was breached.
3. The Prime minister has breached a constitutional duty in advising the President in the formation of a cabinet without the inclusion of the opposition. members in the cabinet.
The Queen's Counsel took a pathetic stand in the Supreme Court. According to him, the Prime minister's obligation was only to invite under the Constitution and "no less and no more. " The obligation was to invite and not include. This is a strange argument as this defeats the very purpose of Article 99 of the Constitution.
The second point made was that the offer of acceptance of Mahendra Chaudhry was "conditional" and the Prime minister, therefore was under no obligation to include his (Chaudhry's) party's representatives in the cabinet. This latter point was already decided in the lower court in favour of Chaudhry and there is no legal issue involved.
The government side stuck to their position that the provision of a multi party cabinet under the Constitution is unworkable as their mandate to rule cannot be implemented with the opposition Labour party in the cabinet as they hold two extreme positions.
All these arguments have been considered and rejected by the High Court and the Supreme Court is only obliged to rule on the point of law and not on facts.
It looks that the Supreme Court ruling may go in favour of Mahendra Chaudhry and if so the case will go back to the High Court who will make the orders.
What next? Prime minister Qarase has repeatedly said that he would abide by the court verdict and he is not likely to invite international opprobrium by rejecting the court verdict. He has only two options left. One- to call for another election and Two- include the Labour party members in the cabinet but give them no portfolios. In the latter case, though it would go against the spirit of the Constitution, he will be legally justified as it is the prerogative of the prime minister to allot work for the ministers in his cabinet.
It is on record that Qarase ha rejected snap elections for two reasons. One, it will be expensive to hold another election ( at least 16 million dollars) and two- the results may throw up a similar situation where he will have to provide seats to opposition political parties, an arrangement he has maintained as "unworkable."
Qarase has declared repeatedly that his long term aim is to dismantle the multi racial constitution of 1997 and introduce a new structure where the indigenous Fijians will have complete political control. It remains to be seen how he would go about it, by remaining within and undermining it as he is doing now or by other means.
Opposition leader Mahendra Chaudhry has so far refused to have "Talanoa" talks on the ground that he would await the court verdict. Without waiting for the High Court orders, he should in our view, seek a meeting with Qarase. He has also got an option in getting his party members included in the cabinet but let them resign en masse to give Prime minister Qarase a free hand in running the government. This could be done provided he strikes a deal that the Constitution will not be amended in the near future to give either of the two communities total control of the government. This is necessary in the interest of racial amity and stability in this unfortunate racially divided country.

Shelter Island bowling: A fabulous week for Cass and company
BEVERLEA WALZ PHOTO | Bowler of the Week Donna Cass consulting a higher power as her ball is ticketed for the gutter.
BY CARA LORIZ
The gap between the top teams narrowed this week as the Fabulous Five continued their winning ways. The Fabs' Donna Cass earned a triple crown, her third Bowler of the Week title, and Jackie Brewer bagged the first "emu" of the season, blasting four strikes in a row to close the contest with Paint by Numbers.
The Fabs took two of three games, but it was not enough to knock the Paints off the top spot. The Odd Balls won as well, gaining on Mama P's Chicks and fueling hopes of a championship season.
The Paints were a little slow at the start of play last Monday, but once Phyllis Power warmed up, she set the pace. With five spares, a strike on 7 and two strikes in a row on 10, she scored a 170, the high game of the week. Paints Captain Ginny Gibbs threw in a few spares and a strike of her own. Meanwhile, Donna started strong for the Fabs, notching seven spares and a strike for a 154 game.
Kat Franzoni, our previous Bowler of the Week, kept the magic flowing by throwing three strikes in the first four frames. Then, it seemed, the spell was broken, and Kat became all too familiar with the gutter. The Paints took the first game by 20 points.
Essie Simovich and Donna put the pressure on for the Fabs in game two, each scoring in the 150s. The Paints couldn't keep up — Elaine Clifford was the only Paint to beat her average. This trend continued into game three, with Donna staying consistent and then Jackie Brewer waking up in the final frames, adding 60 pins to her total in frames 9 and 10 with that incredible emu.
Donna's 454-pin series total was the high for the week and translated into the most over average and high handicap series. Well done, Donna.
Beverly Pelletier was ready to roll when her Odd Balls met Mama P's Chicks in the week's second match up. Bev threw three spares and two strikes in the first five frames, picked up another strike on 9 and closed with a spare and strike on 10 for a 161.
But the Chicks came on strong as well, most bowling well over average, including Mama P herself, who picked up three spares in the last four frames. The Chicks won game one by 15 points.
Kelly Michalak took inspiration from Bev and lit up the scoreboard in game two. She followed a frame 1 spare with a perfect turkey. She picked up two more spares before game's end and netted a 162 — this week's most over-average (33 pins) and high handicap game (207).
The Chicks struggled to close frames, although Melissa Steinmuller picked up a notable spare on a 3-10 split (in addition to a strike), and Sharon Wicks had two each strikes and spares. The Odd Balls were on a roll, and kept it going right through the third game, winning each of the last two games by over 60 points. They took 8 of 11 match points, putting them just 2 points behind the Chicks in the team standings, and 5 behind the Paints.
It may be January, but the ladies bowling season is really heating up.

Immune: EMF effects on humans and mice
Effects of electromagnetic fields on the immune systems of occupationally exposed humans and mice
//omega.twoday.net/stories/1004430/
Roy: This is the first time I have seen a combined study re mice and humans that confirms immune changes re lymphocytes and neutrophils in the same way I have reported many times that my two grandsons' rare immune deficiencies improved after moving their beds away from a source of chronic, prolonged EMR exposure (electric meter) and the equally significant changes in guinea pigs before, during and after chronic, prolonged EMR exposure (electric meter).
Two CBC's were run on two guinea pigs prior to exposure exhibiting "normal results," severe and significant declines after exposure, and "improvement in white cell counts" in the surviving guinea pig. One died within 30 days of placement against "powerwall"/electric meter. Another set of two guinea pigs were found to have drastic white blood cell changes after exposure. In that set, one also died within 30 days and the other "improved" after moving the cage away from electric meter.
In this occupational study out of France, humans and mice were evaluated in same EMR environment with decline in blood parameters after exposure and improved blood results after EMR reduction. The exposures were apparently not as drastic as those due to sleeping close to electric appliances/electric meters and yet similar results were achieved.
You may recall that the boys' immunologist had told me he knew of a study or studies that found immune changes in mice due to low dose EMR exposures but that he didn't know how much of what happens to mice happens to people. That was about 14 years ago!!!!
The immunologist sent grandsons' blood to EMF researcher, Dr. Fatih Uckun but never told us the blood was going to an EMF researcher doing studies for the National Institute of Health (NIH)!!! Dr. Uckun has made statements that the gene is the same for Leukemia as that for Hypogammaglobulinemia (low immune).
As you know, Prof. Dennis Henshaw, an EMF researcher for the London Charity, Children With Leukaemia, recently released a study re electric appliances such as electric stoves, etc. All studies re EMR are important, but studies that will simulate EMR exposures to which children are now being subjected while trying to get the much-needed sleep to restore their bodies are vital. Assoc. Prof. Olle Johansson has agreed to replicate those findings but needs funding.
It is essential that governments around-the-world re-introduce "prudent avoidance measures" -- recommendations that were being made back in the early 1990's!!!! Health costs are spiraling out-of-control and our children deserve to have their parents know that electric appliances/devices must not be close to the heads of their beds!!!! The children can't study if they don't get proper sleep. They can't study if they develop ADD or ADHD and learning problems due to sleeping close to electric appliances/devices/meters. They can't study if they are sick from EMR-induced asthma and other chronic inflammatory problems such as sinus infections, ear infections. Some go on to develop Leukemia.......
EMR levels in the French study appear to be lower than what would be measured from a bedside electric clock, fan, telephone equipment, power supply boxes, electric meters, monitors, etc. "on-the-pillow," therefor indicating an urgent need for action. The children can't wait while scientists try and determine whether the adverse health effects are promoted by RF (radio frequency) from the clock/meter, etc., whether due to polarization, multi-directional fields from the transformer, or whether a level of 1.0 mg "on-the-pillow" versus 2.0 mg, 3.0 mg or 4.0 mg!!!! High frequencies may be on electrical wiring including wiring right behind or next to a bed.
The children must not have ANY electrical items by the heads of their beds!!! Action required is minimal -- simply moving the electrical items and/or the bed away from a wall opposite a refrigerator, electric meter, etc. and virtually "cost-free!!!"
It is essential that I repeat much of what everyone who works every day for the EMR cause already knows (about our grandsons and guinea pigs) because the French study confirms my "non-expert, anecedotal reports" and, combined with other existing studies, leaves little doubt (unusual re medical/scientific studies) that there are grave reasons for immediate action!!!!
EMR activists also know adults are affected -- often close to "equally" re EMR effects linked to children. Adults die from Leukemia too and suffer from EMR-induced insomnia that causes every health problem. Many of us believe children are "God's gifts" or "gifts from a higher power" and, in fact, if we don't provide proper care, in many instances, the government intervenes to order medical treatment and/or to actually remove children from irresponsible, negligent parents.
As Don Maisch wrote the other day regarding my concerns about three Chinese children developing Leukemia after being adopted in the U.S.: "In a perfect world, all of these cases should be investigated [re EMR exposure]." Don is right, the world is "far from perfect" but there are a whole lot of scientists, politicians, industry leaders and others who continue to "let our children down!!!!"
Those smiles on childrens' faces are perfect and precious -- they depend on us -- they need our help!!!!
You and other EMR activists know the importance of informing the public re prudent avoidance. The "plea for help" is intended for others who will receive this email who know what needs to be done but choose to "pull the covers up" in their own beds, some of whom claim to "care about children" such as most politicians who don't even dare respond to the question "WHY hasn't the EMF Interagency Committee Report ever been released to Congress" and "WHEN will the information be presented to Congress???!!!"
Take care and best wishes to all who really DO CARE!!!! Joanne

Colorado elects first openly gay man as governor
July 4, 2022 November 17, 2018 by Gay Cam Chat
Colorado just made history by electing an openly gay man as governor
In a state once nicknamed the "hate state" by progressives for its anti-LGBTQ laws, Democrat Jared Polis was projected to defeat Republican Walker Stapleton with a 6-point lead and roughly 60 percent of districts reporting.
Polis has served as a congressman in the U.S. House since 2009. Not only did he not hide his sexual orientation on the campaign trail, he highlighted it.
"Tonight we celebrate and tomorrow we roll up our sleeves," Polis said in a victory speech in Denver. "We have work to do to to turn a bold vision into a reality."
Polis, a philanthropist, is the founder of numerous tech companies and services — including a an internet access provider provider called American Information Systems he founded in college —that have sold for millions of dollars and generated him considerable wealth. He founded the Polis Foundation in 2000 to "create opportunities for success by supporting educators, increasing access to technology, and strengthening our community."
Critics dubbed Colorado the "hate state" in 1992 when voters turned down an initiative to legalize protections for LGBTQ people.
Colorado was also the state that sparked a national debate over cake bakers who refuse to serve gay people that went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the cake baker.

Q: HttpURLConnection send variables along with multipart data I am trying to upload a file to web server,and also send two variables along with it. The file uploads correctly but the variables are not available at server side .Here is my code
 URL url = new URL(upLoadServerUri);

            // Open a HTTP connection to the URL
            conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
            conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
            conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
            conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
            conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
            conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data");
            conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                    "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
            conn.setRequestProperty("uploaded_file", fileName);
            conn.setRequestProperty("from", phone);//here
            conn.setRequestProperty("contact", contact);//here
            dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
            String urlParameters = "from=" + phone + "&contact=" + contact;
            dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
            dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploaded_file\";filename=\""
                    + fileName + "\"" + lineEnd);

            dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);

At server side which is PHP i am accessing the variables from and contact using $_SERVER['from'];
Can you point out what am i doing wrong or a new approach to it?
I also tried dos.writeBytes("contact=a&from=b");

A: I found the solution on this thread:
Sending files using POST with HttpURLConnection
This is what i end typing:
    String boundary =  "*****";
    String lineEnd = "\r\n";
    String twoHyphens = "--";
    HttpsURLConnection conn = null;
    DataOutputStream dos = null;
    BufferedReader inStream = null;
    int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
    byte[] buffer;
    int maxBufferSize = 10*1024*1024;
    String urlString = "https://yoururl.com/phpfile.php";
    try{
        File f = new File("filepath");
        String filename = "filename";
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(f);

        // open a URL connection to the Servlet
        URL url = new URL(urlString);
        // Open a HTTP connection to the URL
        conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        // Allow Inputs
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        // Allow Outputs
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        // Don't use a cached copy.
        conn.setUseCaches(false);
        // Use a post method.
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
        conn.setRequestProperty("enctype", "multipart/form-data");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary="+boundary);
        conn.setRequestProperty("upfile", filename);

        dos = new DataOutputStream( conn.getOutputStream() );

        String name = "myvariable";
        String value = "123456";

        dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + name + "\""+ lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" + lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes(value+ lineEnd);

        dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"upfile\"; filename='"+ filename+"'" + lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
        // create a buffer of maximum size
        bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
        bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
        buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
        // read file and write it into form...
        bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
        while (bytesRead > 0)
        {
            dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
            bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
            bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
            bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
        }
        // send multipart form data necesssary after file data...
        dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
        dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);
        // Responses from the server (code and message)
        int serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
        String serverResponseMessage = conn.getResponseMessage();

        Log.i("upfile", "HTTP Response is : "
                + serverResponseMessage + ": " + serverResponseCode);

        // close streams
        fileInputStream.close();
        dos.flush();
        dos.close();
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException ex)
    {
        Log.e("Debug", "erro: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
    }
    catch (IOException ioe)
    {
        Log.e("Debug", "erro: " + ioe.getMessage(), ioe);
    }

And this is my php relevant code:
try {

if (
    !isset($_FILES['upfile']['error']) ||
    is_array($_FILES['upfile']['error'])
) {
    throw new RuntimeException('Invalid parameters.');
}

switch ($_FILES['upfile']['error']) {
    case UPLOAD_ERR_OK:
        break;
    case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
        throw new RuntimeException('No file sent.');
    case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
    case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE:
        throw new RuntimeException('Exceeded filesize limit.');
    default:
        throw new RuntimeException('Unknown errors.');
}

if ($_FILES['upfile']['size'] > 100000) {
    throw new RuntimeException('Exceeded filesize limit.');
}

$variable = $_REQUEST["myvariable"];
//do what you want with the variable you send

if (!move_uploaded_file(
    $_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'],
    sprintf('myfolder/%s',
        $_FILES['upfile']['name']
    )
)) {
    throw new RuntimeException('Failed to move uploaded file.');
}

echo 'File is uploaded successfully.';

} catch (RuntimeException $e) {

    echo $e->getMessage();

Polar explorer ERNEST SHACKLETON (1874-1922) is today's go-to fearless leader, although he didn't discover the South Pole or cross the Antarctic continent. What he did do made such feats pale in comparison. In 1914, his ship, The Endurance, was crushed by pack ice, stranding his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition beyond hope of radio or rescue. Shackleton led twenty-seven men on a nearly two-year journey across shifting ice floes, treacherous oceans, and uninhabited island edges. Their adventure culminated in a near-suicidal 800-mile lifeboat journey across the roughest seas in the world, as well as an impromptu, inexperienced traverse of an uncharted and glacier-ridden mountain range. The story of The Endurance involves so much suspension of disbelief (even though it's all true) that every film about it has fallen short, and every written account has been crushed by the packed action. In 1917, when he returned everyone under his care alive, a nation shrugged and got back to the business of slaughter. But Shackleton's irrepressible optimism and perseverance outlasted his era, and today his adventure is recognized for what it was: the most excellent.
On his or her birthday, HiLobrow irregularly pays tribute to one of our high-, low-, no-, or hilobrow heroes. Also born this date: Conor Oberst.

In terms of Shackleton books, one of the oldest is still one of the best, Alfred Lansing's 1959 "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage." What it lacks in style it more than makes up for in nonstop adventure and tightroping-between-the-twin-towers-style suspension of belief. Lansing was able to interview some of the survivors ad had access to a number of the diaries. His very occasional interjections about the larger meaning of things and judicious, and spot-on. The first time I picked it up I literally couldn't put it down, and there are very few books I can say that about.
…suspension of DISbelief, of course I meant to say! but the impossible situations accumulate so quickly that suspension of *belief happens, too.
It is hard to conceive of just where Shackleton would stand in our pantheon of heroes without the inimitable and incomparable Frank Hurley photos that documented the entire ordeal (minus, of course, the boat journey and traverse of South Georgia Island). In the U.S. the Scott expedition is less well known – precisely, I think, because of the lack of photographic documentation of his feat. Photos such as this one reify and cohere for us a saga that is, for the average American, not only hard to imagine, but literally inconceivable.

I agree Jon, it remains one of the most astonishing aspects of the 1914 expedition that they managed to save so many awkward, heavy, breakable glass negatives! A good selection is online here:
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/endurance/
And of course Caroline Alexander's companion book to the 1999 AMNH Shackleton exhibit features many great prints of those photos.


"Dw i ddim yn cofio mil naw saith dim."
Translation:I do not remember nineteen seventy.
This makes me feel so old!
Why is there a second "dim" at the end?
So this is used to express the date.
This is a very simple and easy to use date system since after 'mil' only the simple numbers are expressed.
2014 = 'dwy fil un pedwar' or sometimes similar to English 'dwy fil un deg saith'.
Is there a reason that it doesn't accept "I can't remember 1970"? This seems to be a more natural way of saying the same thing in English.

August is Back to School Month: Is Your Family Ready?
Posted by Century Support Services on Aug 15, 2020
This has been one of the strangest summers on record for many people. And while uncertainty abounds at the moment, at least one thing is for sure: A return to school is coming — even though it may look very different this year. If you're wondering how to prepare for back-to-school season when you don't even know what school will look like yet, you're far from alone. In honor of August's Back to School Month, here's a closer look at what to expect this fall, along with tips for helping your family cope with the many challenges of this unprecedented time.
Virtual, Face-to-Face or a Hybrid?
With schools all over the country starting to roll out their recovery and reopening plans for fall, one of the most startling things we're seeing is how different they are. Proposed strategies include everything from staggered schedules and longer school days to temperature checks, routine sanitizing and social distancing in classrooms and buses. Meanwhile, while most experts agree that masks should be worn, many parents and teachers alike are questioning whether it's possible — especially in early childhood education settings.
Meanwhile, whenever and whatever your school district decides, plans are subject to change due to the fluid nature of the situation. "We'll have to see on a step-by-step basis as we get into the period of time with the fall about reopening the schools, exactly where we'll be in the dynamics of the outbreak," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Education Dive.
The takeaway? With so much in the air, planning is hard. And yet the more proactive we are about managing expectations, the better we'll be able to face what's ahead.
Supporting Your Family's Health and Wellness
There's no denying that all of this ambiguity is creating stress for many families, especially in cases where parents must return to work with young children who can't be home alone. Additionally, many families are struggling financially and lack the resources necessary to support virtual learning.
The priority through these challenges? Safeguarding the health and wellness of kids, most of whom have experienced major disruptions to their daily lives because of the pandemic. Helping them understand that a "new normal" is coming is important, as is focusing on the positives of the situation. Whether they're scared to go back to school, worried about wearing a mask, or feeling isolated from friends after not seeing them for months, children are resilient, but will also benefit tremendously from reassurance from the adults in their lives.
For the good of everyone, this means attending to your own feelings, too. "As children often take their emotional cues from the key adults in their lives – including parents and teachers – it is important that adults manage their own emotions well and remain calm, listen to children's concerns, speak kindly and reassure them," cautions UNICEF.
Persevering toward your Financial Goals
As a visitor to this website, it's clear that the financial health of your family is also important to you. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic may have been a setback in this respect. Between the inability to work, childcare issues, and other unexpected obstacles, it may feel especially hard to stay on track toward your financial goals. And yet committing to doing so is more important than ever.
Some ways to keep your family's costs low during COVID-19 including reevaluating your household budget, meal prep, reducing energy usage, growing your own food, buying in bulk, taking advantage of digital coupons, and looking into reducing your home and car insurance premiums. While these savings may seem small, they add up. Also, be sure to take advantage of resources for families in your area, such as free or reduced lunch programs and electronic device loan programs.
Another bright spot? Communities, schools and educators are working diligently to ensure that kids and families have what they need to succeed. "It hasn't been easy, and this health crisis presents us with a whole new set of challenges. But we're going to continue to fight through it to make sure that our kids have the best possible education," teacher Michelle Polo-Thorpe told USA Today.
One thing COVID-19 has taught all of us is that we can't know what tomorrow will bring. By accepting that things can and will change and by keeping your priorities at the forefront — including your family's physical, mental, emotional and financial wellness — you can position your family not only to survive these troubling times, but to emerge stronger on the other side.
