Was Aussie Move Really A Capital Sin?
By Nathan Jeffay January 15, 2019 3:46 pm
A year after America recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, another important Western democracy has followed suit. But while President Donald Trump's move was met with razzmatazz, this time there are just yawns and snarky comments.
Australia now recognizes Jerusalem as capital. Officials there saw it as a fitting move given the flourishing ties with Israel, cemented two years ago when Benjamin Netanyahu became the first sitting Israeli prime minister to visit there.
If you didn't hear about last month's announcement, or just heard the basics, you're not alone. The news has been largely overlooked. The timing wasn't ideal — Australia's prime minister, Scott Morrison, made the supposedly big announcement as most of the world was winding down for Christmas. But this is more than a story of bad timing.
Morrison didn't just recognize Jerusalem, but also said that Australia will set up a trade and defense office there. "With deepening defense industry ties and Australia-Israel trade now running at over 1.3 billion [Australian] dollars per year, this will help continue to build our strong bilateral trade relationship," he said.
If he was expecting even a fraction of the enthusiasm and excitement expressed when Trump recognized Jerusalem, his hope was misplaced. Minister Tzachi Hanegbi, a Netanyahu confidant, said: "Our sovereignty will not be partitioned nor undermined."
The problem came in the form of one word — "west." Australia didn't recognize all of Jerusalem as capital, but rather the western part of the city.
The idea here was to tell Israel that it accepts the facts on the ground, namely that while much of the international community hasn't recognized any city as Israel's capital, Australia sees exactly where Israel's state institutions are located, and embraces this as the capital.
Morrison said that recognition is given to West Jerusalem, "being the seat of the Knesset and many of the institutions of government." A few hours after his announcement, in western Jerusalem, Netanyahu held one of his cabinet meetings, where he tends to laud even the smallest of advances in Israel's international standing. He didn't even mention the Australian announcement.
Journalists wanted to know what he thought, so he just said that he had "nothing to add" to the Foreign Ministry's statement. The statement he referred to was as cold as ice, simply saying that Australia has taken a "step in the right direction."
Hanegbi was on hand to play the bad cop. He said that there is "no such thing as 'West Jerusalem' and 'East Jerusalem,'" and suggested that as Australia based its announcement on the premise that there is, it made a "mistake" that it needs to "fix."
Peter Medding, a politics professor at Hebrew University, thinks that Australia was unprepared for the backlash. "They did it as a friendly act," he said of the leadership in Australia, where he grew up. "But they got it wrong."
Medding told me that as the Israeli government sees it, "lots of people think they are helping out when they are really bulls in china shops." He said that any gains from having western Jerusalem recognized as Israel's capital are outweighed, in the government's view, by the fact that eastern Jerusalem wasn't also classified as its capital.
If that wasn't enough, Morrison also said that he wants a two-state solution with the eastern part of the city becoming a Palestinian capital. The Israeli leadership resolutely states that Jerusalem won't be divided.
As a journalist who writes from Israel for both Australian and American readers, and who closely follows the political scenes in both countries, I find myself wondering whether Israel's response was very much a Trump-Era Reaction.
Let's imagine that Trump hadn't yet recognized Jerusalem, and Australia had come out with its announcement. Would Israel really have been so cold, or would it have graciously embraced the move? Perhaps not as the ideal announcement, but as an important one?
After all, Israel does celebrate partial breakthroughs — gestures that other countries make to Jerusalem, even in cases when there are deep problems in the relationship. Officials in Jerusalem are ecstatic that things are warming with Saudi Arabia, and that in the last three months three leading Israeli politicians paid visits to Gulf states and that "Hatikvah" was played at a judo contest in Abu Dhabi. Does it make sense that these developments with largely antagonistic countries are celebrated while the loyal friend Australia is shunned because its gesture wasn't entirely in sync with Israeli thinking?
Australia wanted a two-state solution with Jerusalem as capital before its announcement, just as it does now. Nothing has changed in that respect. What has changed is that Australia recognized that the main area where Israel's state institutions are concentrated is, in fact, its capital. In this spirit, there will be a trade and a defense office established there.
For the Netanyahu government, the episode of Trump recognizing Jerusalem was a dream come true. But it needs to welcome lesser gains, too. If there is one image Israel doesn't want internationally, it's that of an ungrateful nation.

thanx a lot for these great examples... opened my eyes instantly!
Any chance to get x and y position after dragging with left mouse? I tried it with postmessage, a1, 2... no success!
I do not think so. When you send PostMessage, 0xA1, 2, you are moving the window, not the object drawn on the window.
You should be moving the object drawn on the window by changing the x and y values.
To give you an idea, you can use MouseGetPos to find your (x, y) value. When you click on the screen, save the values as x_click, y_click. Then when you are dragging, save the new values as x_drag, y_drag.
Subtract. dx := x_drag - x_click. Now add dx to the the x value you set in background. Add dy to the y value you set in background. I apologize if this isn't a clear explanation.
Keep in mind I am not trying to port Rainmeter over to AHK, even though it is possible. It's just too much work.
after coding a little with sendmessage, 0xA1, 2 I found out that using a dummy-key for GetKeyState, status would position the objects (background and text) by dragging as expected.
So here's a tiny code for a desktop-clock using your fantastic subtitle-class for any purpose and testing... hints are welcome!
Why did you need a dummy button? I got it to work without. It still flashes someones when you release the left mouse button, but I imagine that is due to the timer and gosub clashing or something.
SetTimer, ticktack, 10 ; Changed to 10 milliseconds for smooth animation.
global ; Make all these values global.
Try to avoid sendmessage, 0xA1, 2 and PostMessage, 0xA1, 2 because we want to move the Subtitle Object, not the window it is drawn on.
You don't need to specify the width or height ever, because my Subtitle class will compute that for you. Also, there's no need to ever change text x, y positions, as that is also computed for you!
I changed the render time to 10 milliseconds. Depending on your CPU, this is 10 milliseconds, 15.6 milliseconds, or 1 tick of the processor. This may eat up some CPU power, but I'm sure you can modify the code so that it only draws at 10 milliseconds a frame when it is being dragged.
Also strength doesn't do anything at the moment.
I've finally added some documentation.
Click on List of Methods on the main post.
Iseahound, your version is quite laggy imo.
kczx3 wrote: Iseahound, your version is quite laggy imo.
I did mention that it would eat up CPU power, as it is rendering every 10ms ≈ 100 frames per second. That's quite excessive, so it is possible to render a frame only when 1) time changes, 2) x position changes, or 3) y position changes.
This should make it as efficient as the original script moefr01 posted.
Meh, it seems better but still laggy.
Found out that the blur-function eats most of memory (>38MB at 4% load) on my barebone (i5) while displaying with fontsize 48... increases extremly with sizes above!. So I decided to code with gdip+ and simulate the shadow with another Gdip_TextToGraphics underneath the coloured text (see pic). In addition I use sendmessage, 0xA1,2 in combination with a transparent GUI... works very smooth!
Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing how your project turns out.
If you think the blur function is slow, the glow function is much slower... Alpha Blending is one of the costliest operations to perform. If you set the blur to 0 and only set horizontal and vertical offsets the shadow renders fast with low memory usage.
Still looking for a better blur function (tic's Gdip_BlurBitmap is terribly slow) preferably in machine code.
I have added a few static variables and augmented your __New() and __Delete() to automatically start and shutdown Gdip so that the user need not be bothered.
parent := ((___ := RegExReplace(A_ThisFunc, "^(.*)\..*\..*$", "$1")) != A_ThisFunc) ? ___ : ""
Here's an alternative Gdip_Startup() and Gdip_Shutdown() wrapper.
The reason that I do not save the instances within class Subtitle is because I have multiple Graphics objects, and not all of them are Subtitle objects.
Still, many people will find your addition to be useful!
Warning: Calling Gdip_Startup() twice in the same AHK script may cause random crashing. That's another reason I was hesitant to include it.
Thank you very much, iseahound. I have used it in a UiPath workflow to add subtitles as part of a text-to-speech activity that also uses AHK.
Some changes have been made. It's not perfect, but I was running into some limitations with the previous version that have been resolved in this version.
horizontal:50px - denotes the horizontal offset.
vertical:50px - denotes the vertical offset.
color:Black - changes color to black.
opacity:0.5 - opacity is at 50%. you might want to do 50% if you like integers.
size:10px - extends the edges by 10 pixels.
So dropshadow:(h:50px v:50px b:5px c:Black o:50% s:10px) would be used.
stroke:1px - a one pixel outline does wonders to increase the readability of text without changing the font size.
glow:7px - extends the edge (counting from the end of the outline) and creates a glow of 7pixels. Try to use a value less than 4 pixels if you want fast rendering.
tint:Purple - specifies the glow tint. This will give the glow a unique color.
So outline:(stroke:1px color:Blue glow:7px tint:purple) would be used.
You can drop the colons but it's harder to read. Also I increased rendering speeds by 10x. Also you don't need to call Gdip_Startup anymore. Also there's a real gaussian blur made in C.
That's really a great script, iseahound. Awesome.

by Jesse James Deconto on 2/25/09.
Bryan Berger never imagined the tax revolt that began in his Carrboro living room would draw an overflow crowd to a 350-person meeting hall three weeks later.
Organized through word-of-mouth and $1,700 worth of yard signs, fliers, newspaper ads and robocalls, the ``Orange Tax Revolt'' ballooned so big in the Big Barn on Monday night that leaders are looking for another venue for the meeting March 16.
Berger and others estimated the crowd at 1,200 people, and the Orange County fire marshal had to bar some from entering the conference center because of safety regulations.
Orange's growing anti-tax movement is built on frustration over the countywide revaluation that raised the average home's tax assessment 23 percent, to $290,000.
Berger and others encouraged those attending to appeal assessments, lobby for lower taxes, and scrutinize county budgets.
Leaders in the county and towns aim to lower tax rates so taxes on an average home won't go up. Berger is skeptical.
``They have never been revenue-neutral once, even though they say they're going to be,'' Berger said.
The county did set a revenue-neutral rate -- 20 years ago. Even if the county and towns decide to raise the same amount of revenue, some tax bills would still increase.
The revaluation's goal was to rebalance values to bring them more in line with the market, meaning some went up faster than others over the past four years.
Homes in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district, for example, went up by 29 percent, while those in rural Orange County went up less than 20 percent.
Both Foy and Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton said the towns were unlikely to trim their budgets below the revenue-neutral rate because that would compromise services and infrastructure.
In particular, Foy resisted some citizens' call to eliminate fare-free bus rides, saying the town would lose federal funding and it would create more traffic.
Valerie Foushee, chairwoman of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, said it was too early to say whether the county could consider spending less money next year than it is spending this year.

Causes include bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic microorganisms.
Most commonly superficial and resulting from infection by Staphylococcus aureus ; use of antibacterial soaps may suffice as treatment for uncomplicated folliculitis, which is self-limited.
Deeper infection and inflammation of hair follicles from Staphylococcus aureus generally require systemic antibiotic therapy based on culture sensitivities.
Other common infectious agents include gram-negative organisms, fungi, viruses, and parasites; can occur in acne patients undergoing long-term oral antibiotic therapy and may mimic an acne flare.
Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause; hygienic measures, MRSA eradication, and symptomatic therapies are other important treatment modalities to consider.
Folliculitis is an inflammatory process involving any part of the hair follicle; it is most commonly secondary to infection. It is important to recognize noninfectious causes of folliculitis (e.g., eosinophilic folliculitis) as well as folliculitis primarily involving the scalp (e.g., folliculitis decalvans). The condition manifests clinically as erythematous papules or pustules around hair follicles. Depending on the etiology and chronicity of the condition, histologic examination reveals various populations of inflammatory cells around the pilosebaceous unit. Folliculitis commonly occurs in areas with terminal hair growth, such as the head and neck region, axillae, groin, and buttocks; it also favors areas under occlusion.

Sampha Lahai Sisay (* 1988 in London) ist ein britischer Musiker.

Karriere
Sampha Sisay stammt aus Morden im Südwesten von London. Seine Eltern, die dem Volk der Limba angehören, kamen Anfang der 1980er Jahre aus Sierra Leone. Er wuchs als jüngstes von fünf Kindern auf. Als er neun war, starb sein Vater an Krebs. Sampha begann früh damit, Klavier zu spielen und auch eigene Songs zu schreiben. Später diente er sich den Grime-Rappern in seiner Umgebung an und machte die Produktion für die Rapsongs seines Freunds. Erstmals auf ihn aufmerksam wurde man durch einen Remix des Songs Basic Space von The xx im Jahr 2009. Viel Anerkennung erfuhr er auch zwei Jahre später, als er beim von der Kritik gelobten Debütalbum von SBTRKT nicht nur als Produzent, sondern auch als Sänger und Songschreiber mitwirkte. Die Sängerin Jessie Ware war eine weitere Londonerin, mit der er zusammenarbeitete. Zu der Zeit veröffentlichte er auch seine erste eigene EP Sundanza.

2013 wurde Sampha vom kanadischen Rapper Drake eingeladen, auf seinem Album Nothing Was the Same mitzuwirken. Der gemeinsame Song Too Much wurde als Single ausgekoppelt und kam in die britischen und die US-Charts. The Motion, das als Bonussong produziert worden war, erreichte ebenfalls eine Top-100-Platzierung. Danach veröffentlichte er seine zweite EP Dual und bei Sound of 2014, der BBC-Prognose für den Durchbruch im kommenden Jahr, wurde er auf Platz 4 gewählt. Es gab aber in diesem und auch im nächsten Jahr kein Debütalbum und erst einmal auch keine sonstigen Veröffentlichungen, sondern er arbeitete weiter mit anderen Musikern wie SBTRKT und Katy B zusammen. 2016 war er auf Alben von Kanye West und Frank Ocean vertreten. Der Song Don't Touch My Hair vom Album A Seat at the Table von Solange Knowles brachte ihn zum zweiten Mal als Gastsänger in die US-Charts.

Zum Jahresende stellte er dann zwei Songs im Vorgriff auf sein Debütalbum vor. Anfang Februar 2017 wurde das Album Process international veröffentlicht. In Großbritannien stieg es auf Platz 7 ein und auch in USA und Australien und weiteren Ländern in Europa konnte es sich in den Charts platzieren. Das Album wurde mit dem Mercury Prize 2017 ausgezeichnet.

This Spiced Pear Pie is the perfect end to an autumn supper!
I feel like pumpkin, apple, and pear are The Big Three of the fall baking fruits (if you count pumpkin as a fruit). But I feel like pears don't get as much limelight as apples and pumpkins. Which is such a shame: they're one of my all-time favorite fruits!
Last month, I decided to buy half a lug of pears from my mom. And I'm so glad that I did! Even though they were seconds, they had an amazing flavor and texture. We had them plain, with whipped cream (SO good), in a Pear Dutch Baby, and (of course) this Spiced Pear Pie.
To make the pie, start by slicing up some pears. You can peel them if you like, or leave the peels on like I did.
Next, you want to toss the pears with some flour and spices. The flour helps the pie filling to thicken in the oven, and the spices add a touch of lovely fall flavors.
Before you fill your pie crust, sprinkle it will some cane sugar. This helps to prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy.
Now dump in your pear mixture and even it out.
Top with a second pie crust. You can do a lattice like I did, but a plain 'ol topper would be great as well! If you opt for a plain top crust, don't forget to cut some holes in it to allow the juices to escape.
BTW – I used my Sourdough Pie Crust for this recipe.
My biggest tip for success with lattice crusts is to freeze your strips of pie dough on a cookie sheet before attempting the weave. It makes it a lot easier to work with!
After you've topped your pie to your liking, brush the top crust with heavy cream.
Serve with a (large) dollop of homemade whipped cream. This is the perfect end to a fall meal. Or you could eat if for breakfast: no judgement!
I drastically reduced the amount of added sugar in this spiced pear pie. In fact, there's only 2 tablespoons in the whole pie! If you like your desserts on the sweeter side, you can up the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup. Also, the sweetness of your pears can affect how much sweetener you need to add.
This Spiced Pear Pie is the perfect end to a fall supper! Top with a dollop of vanilla whipped cream.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. In a large bowl, toss the pears with the vanilla and flour/spice mixture.
Roll out half of the pie dough and line a pie dish with it. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar over the bottom of the crust. Pour the pear mixture on top. Roll out the other half of the pie dough and place it on top of the crust. Trim and crimp the edges.
Brush the top of the crust with the heavy cream. Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 50-60 minutes. Tent with foil or a pie crust shield if the crust browns too quickly before the pie is done baking.
Remove from oven and cool in the pie pan on a cooling rack for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
I used my Sourdough Pie Crust recipe.
Your pie crust is absolutely beautiful!
I hate pears, I think it's a texture thing for me. I have just never liked them. The one exception would be the wonderful Harry and David pears. I always buy a box of those at Christmas time and they are so good.
I totally agree – there's a huge different between an inferior pear and a really good one. 😊 You could always substitute apples in this recipe if you like!
I came across your pear pie and I think it would be perfect for a Thanksgiving Pie Post which I am putting together for my site, Just a Little Bit of Bacon. I'm planning to post in the next week, so I would appreciate it if you would let me know if I can use one photo along with a link back to your post.
Yes, that's fine to use my photo on your blog with a link back to the original post. Thanks!

REN Holiday Recipes
by Bruce Cherney (part 2)
In a prelude to the Mathers Commission's first session on April 20, the Roblin government used friendly newspapers to mount a campaign designed to discredit the Liberals and deflect criticism. For example, the Portage Weekly Review (April 3, 1915) cited Sir Rodmond Roblin as accusing the Liberals of trying to "deceive the people and make it appear that something was radically wrong with the affairs of the province ... The whole aim and purpose of the Opposition campaign before the public accounts committee was to discredit and injure the government and to create distrust in the minds of the people as to the honesty and integrity of the administrators of the province."
The newspaper claimed the Liberals perpetrated a "scandalous and barefaced conspiracy" against the Roblin government, which was the worst "in the history of the province or of the Dominion."
During the 19 days leading up to the appointment of the commissioners, the lieutenant-governor was also threatened with removal from power. The Conservatives accused him of exceeding his authority when he demanded Roblin resign or call a royal commission. When he didn't budge from his position, Douglas Cameron was then offered a second term in office if he would reverse his earlier ruling. Cameron continued to resist the pressure exerted upon him, which included a visit from Robert "Bob" Rogers, a Conservative MP from Winnipeg and a former public works minister in the Roblin government, who expressed displeasure with the accusations against the premier and his government.
In the meantime, legislative building contractor Thomas Kelly fled to the United States to avoid appearing before the commission, joining other potential witnesses in self-imposed exile. Kelly's lawyer, E. Anderson, advised the commission that his client would not appear and would remain in the U.S.
"We regret our inability to procure the evidence of Thomas Kelly particularly," wrote the commission in its later report, "and to secure the production of the firm's books."
The day before the commission was appointed, Victor W. Horwood, the provincial architect, left for Minneapolis and then Rochester, Minnesota, to undergo a serious operation. Dr. Walter Montague, the minister of public works, then suggested to Horwood he should take an extended holiday to recover.
Montague had allegedly approached Horwood to sign an application to be relieved of the responsibility of testifying "pending the result of the investigation of the royal commission."
His lawyer advised Horwood to refuse to sign the document and instead apply for a lengthy leave of absence.
Although Horwood was obviously ill, the commission concluded he left Canada to avoid being served with a subpoena.
Dr. R.M. Simpson, the treasurer for the Conservative Party's election campaign, left for military service before he could testify, but the commissioners said their investigation revealed his "complicity in the matter."
With the scandal intensifying in scope, Premier Roblin on May 12, 1915, handed in his government's resignation to Lieutenant-Governor Cameron. The same day Cameron approached Tobias C. Norris asking him to form the new government. After a 15-year hiatus, the Liberals returned to power.
Roblin issued a statement giving his reasons for resigning, which in no way implied his government was guilty of misappropriating funds in its dealing with Kelly. The only measure of complicity in the scandal admitted was that the government was "constitutionally responsible for the acts of their officials in matters of this kind."
"The production of certain evidence during the sitting of the Public Accounts Committee caused the government to institute a departmental enquiry," wrote Roblin, "together with the statement made before the Royal Commission by counsel for the contractors, convinced the government that adjustments between the province and contractor were necessary. Further, the government believed that such adjustments could be made with more satisfaction to the public by a new government."
Roblin said his decision was also influenced by the outcome of the July 10, 1914, provincial election. "The result (significantly reduced majority) indicated the withdrawal of that public confidence which had hitherto been extended to me."
Roblin said the part he played will be left "to the judgement of my fellow countrymen and the future historian of this province." He was confident that historians would judge his government on its benefits to Manitobans rather than the taint of scandal that led to his resignation.
It was alleged that a deal was struck between the Liberals and Conservatives, promising the end of the Royal Commission if the Roblin government resigned. But the public was so antagonistic to the Roblin regime that Norris was unable to fulfill his end of the agreement without evoking a loud cry of protest, so the commission continued its investigation.
In retaliation, another publicity campaign was launched against the Liberals, which solicited aid from any friendly source.
Brandon architect W.A. Elliott claimed the Liberals had all along been involved in the legislative building over-payments. He told the commission that Horwood said the Liberals received $12,000 from Kelly "as an insurance that if in the (July 10, 1914) election the government should change, he would be allowed to go ahead with his contract without any inconvenience from the new government."
The commission would later report the allegation was completely unfounded.
When testifying before the Mathers Commission on June 8, Roblin said he had become disturbed by the session of the public accounts committee which indicated the amount paid for the caissons was not accurate. He then engaged lawyer A.J. Andrews to conduct a departmental investigation with John Sweeney, the Canadian government's district engineer.
Sweeney reported to Andrews, said Roblin, that a quantity of yardage paid for by the government had not been used in the caisson construction, but he didn't receive the information until the day before the legislative session ended. The next day, the assembly was prorogued and Roblin appointed a Royal Commission.
On the witness stand, Roblin said he had signed the contract for the caissons in error as the contract was among a pile of other public works department papers on his desk.
At the time, Dr. Montague was ill and the premier took over his responsibilities. Roblin said when Montague returned he told the premier a mistake was made in signing the contract. Montague said he wanted to consult experts before taking responsibility for the $800,000 contract.
Roblin expressed his sorrow in making the mistake and asked Kelly to hand over the new contract, which allegedly occurred.
Roblin then told Montague to obtain all official documents as well as the original order-in-council calling for the alteration. Once he obtained the documents, Roblin said he threw them in a wastepaper basket.
"There was no attempt to destroy all traces," Roblin told the commission. "That was impossible, as 30 or 40 people in the various departments knew about it. It was only the formal record that was wiped out."
On June 12, the commissioners travelled to Minneapolis to hear testimony from provincial architect Horwood, who broke down when he was asked if he had deliberately perjured himself as a witness appearing before the public accounts committee in March. Horwood was so remorseful that he offered to go to prison for his role in the affair.
Just before he broke down, Horwood told the commissioners he had gone to Roblin and George Coldwell, the education minister, prior to his public accounts committee testimony and said, "He had better tell the truth," but lied to the committee at the urging of the two politicians.
With Horwood excused until he regained his composure, William Salt, the government inspector at the building construction site, testified that 25,194 yards of material was placed in the caissons, which was 10,799 yards less than what Kelly had been paid for.
Salt was one of the important witnesses who had "disappeared." Over a two-month period he fled to Minneapolis, then to Chicago, then Minneapolis again and then Denver under the alias of William Malcolm.
Salt had been offered first $2,000 and then $10,000 in hush money, which was confirmed by several witnesses, including Salt. His testimony was important to the commission as Salt had documented the construction on the legislative building and had kept two sets of plans — one of which was fraudulent.
Harry Whitla, the former counsel for Horwood, told the commission he had arranged for the bribery of Salt in the interest of his ex-client. He claimed not to have any dealings with Dr. Simpson prior to arranging the bribe.
Whitla said he only acted on Horwood's behalf as he believed any testimony from Salt would result in his client being charged with perjury.
Whitla took $5,000 to Pinkerton detective Captain Hatfield in St. Paul to be forwarded to Salt across the river in Minneapolis. Salt then asked for another $5,000 which was obtained.
In testimony during a closed session at the Royal Alexander Hotel, Montague, who was ill at the time, told the commissioners about the contract with Kelly negotiated by the premier. The public works minister said the steel, including grillage (beams covering foundations) for the north wing, was bought for $230,000, but a contract for $215,000 surfaced for grillage steel only.
Montague was not involved in changing the plans from pilings to caissons, which occurred when Coldwell was the public works minister. And it was Coldwell who ratified the alteration to the original plan.
When talking with Horwood, Montague said "there must be something wrong with this contract for $215,000 which only included grillage ... Mr. Horwood replied that if it only included grillage it must be a mistake."
Kelly, who was present at the meeting, agreed that the contract must include sufficient steel. Montague then instructed Horwood to have new plans made "for the purpose of binding the contractor to put in the quantity of steel which he ought to put in at the price we arranged for in the first contract."
A new contract was arranged for $802,000, but Montague said he had nothing to do with its preparation. According to Montague, he thought the new contract was for construction of the dome.
"Did the amount not strike you as exorbitant?" asked commission lawyer C.P. Wilson.
"I have already told you that I wanted skilled engineers' plans," replied Montague, although he admitted no such plans had been produced.
Wilson also wondered why the excessive contract for grillage alone — not the entire dome — had been paid six days before the provincial election.
The minister said he made no inquiries into the matter.
"I suppose the reason was obvious, that if he (the premier) was giving such an exorbitant amount he was getting a quid pro quo (from Kelly)," said Wilson.
"I am not discussing what is obvious or not obvious," declared Montague. "You might think it was, if you like."
Wilson then mentioned the $1.25 million in "extras" added to the contract, bringing the cost of construction to $4.5 million.
Montague replied he didn't understand all the extras.
In their overview of the evidence, the commissioners said Simpson had explained to Horwood that there was to be no record of the contract for the caissons going before the legislature. Instead, the funds were to be placed in the Conservative election fund.
Horwood told Simpson he would not take instructions from anyone other than a cabinet minister. The result was a visit from Coldwell who told Horwood to act upon Simpson's instructions.
Horwood's part in the scheme was necessary as it was his signature that was needed on the certificates in order for the government to pay Kelly.
The report filed by the Mathers Commission on August 24, 1915, said a "fraudulent scheme or conspiracy formed before the contract (for the caissons) was entered into to obtain from the extras an election fund ... For this purpose Dr. R.M. Simpson, V.W. Horwood, the provincial architect, and at least some members of Thomas Kelly & Sons became parties to and active participants in carrying it out in addition to those by whom the original conspiracy was formed."
The commission said Kelly had obtained the original contract for $3,250 less than the Lyall tender by obtaining advance knowledge from Premier Roblin.
The commission said there was no direct evidence linking J.H. Howden, the provincial attorney-general, to the conspiracy at its inception, "but his subsequent conduct convinces us that he early became a party to it.
"We believe that Dr. Montague for some time after he became public works minister did not become a party to the fraudulent scheme or conspiracy entered into by his colleagues, but that he was informed of its existence and purpose by Dr. Simpson in January or February, 1914, and he then became a party to it."
The commission charged that Kelly's company was paid the following sums it was not entitled to:
• Caissons — $680,704.50
• North wing steel — $102,692.36
• South wing and grillage — $68,997.71
• Brick for rubble — $17,968.73
• Excavation paid for but not performed — $21,734.80
The total came to $892,098.10, but other "extras" resulting from the alterations to the plans increased the amount to $1,182,232.50, according to the commission report.
Even before the commission filed its report, Manitoba voters had drawn their own conclusions from the evidence. The result of the public indignation was a sweeping victory for Norris during the August 6, 1915, provincial election with Liberals claiming 42 of 49 seats in the legislature. Winnipeg Labour candidates Fred Dixon and Richard Rigg also won seats, helping to reduce the Conservatives to just five MLAs.
It was a spectacular fall from grace for a "political machine" lead by Roblin that had won majority governments in 1903, 1907, 1910 and 1914 with popular support ranging from 45 to 51 per cent — today governments commonly attain a majority with popular support in the high-30s to low-40s percentages.
With the findings of the Mathers Commission in hand and overwhelming public support, all that remained for the Liberals was the implementation of the second phase of the legislative building scandal — the trials of politicians who allegedly took part and the extradition of Kelly from the U.S. to answer to the serious charges levelled against him.
On September 1, 1915, proceedings were begun in the city police court against Roblin, Dr. Montague, former education minister George R. Coldwell, and James H. Howden, the former attorney-general, all of whom voluntarily surrendered to the police on October 31, 1915. Pending an indictment, the four ex-cabinet ministers were released on $50,000 bail each until a preliminary hearing began on September 14.
The October 9, 1915, Free Press reported Magistrate P.A. Macdonald committed the four ex-ministers for trial. The men were again released on $50,000 bail "the amount that was fixed by (Winnipeg Police Magistrate) Sir Hugh Macdonald in the police court, and the same bondmen went good for the new sureties. ...
"None of the accused seemed surprised at being committed.They stood up when the clerk asked them if they had anything to say, and replied in the negative."
It would be months until Roblin, Howden and Coldwell were tried. The other defendant, Montague, had been ill for a long time, and died on November 13 of "apoplexy."
Meanwhile, the person who was not on-hand to appear before the magistrate was contractor and fugitive Kelly, who was facing criminal and civil charges in Manitoba. The Manitoba government brought a civil suit against Kelly to recover the money he was alleged to have padded the contract to build the legislative building. The warrant for his arrest listed perjury, conspiracy to defraud and obtaining money under false pretenses as the criminal charges.
While Kelly hid out in the U.S., Winnipeg police armed with a warrant raided his company's office in the Lindsay Building as well as his Assiniboine Avenue home. Deputy Attorney-General Allen, J.B. Coyne and Crown counsel R.W. Craig took part in the raids to select "papers they believed might be used in the case."
Kelly's employees had refused to open the vault in the office, so the combination was knocked off and a hole drilled through the lock, which was pounded off to open the door.
At his home, "some rather important papers" were found.
The police and court officials were unable to obtain all the papers needed for their case, as some had been spirited away to the U.S. and destroyed.
Testifying at the preliminary hearing on November 4, Maurice Kelly, 20, the son of Thomas and a partner in the firm Thomas Kelly & Sons, said he had taken some documents from the office in early September to the family cottage at Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, burning some in the furnace.
"Kelly's explanation of his act was that he was nervous alone and that he wanted to make sure that if the authorities made another search of the company's office they would find nothing," reported the Free Press.
"I did it of my own accord, and I got the deuce for it from my father and two brothers."
Although he got "the deuce," neither his father nor brothers told Maurice to return the papers to the company safe.
While in the U.S., Kelly apparently believed himself to be quite safe from the long hand of the law in Manitoba, which, as it turned out, was not the case.
Kelly had actually been under surveillance for weeks after fleeing Manitoba by "special officers" from Winnipeg's Thiel Detective Agency hired by the province.
A rumour relayed to Manitoba by the detective agency was that Kelly intended to make his way from Minnesota to South Carolina where the state law on extradition was "lax." Kelly was reported to be in Chicago where he was believed to be only making a brief sojourn before heading south.
A "hurried conference by the authorities (in Manitoba) resulted in (Winnipeg Police) Commissioner (John) McRae telegraphing (to Chicago) for the arrest of Kelly."
Detectives in Chicago had traced Kelly to the city through an attorney named Thripple who had left Winnipeg a few days earlier. A "detective followed Thripple, who registered at the Blackstone Hotel," reported the Free Press on October 2, 1915. "Then by watching for Kelly they finally saw him walking along the street. Detective Moody, accompanied by Lieut. Larkin and Sarg. O'Brien, of the Chicago Police, recognized the grey haired contractor ... After he was locked up at detective headquarters, he admitted he was Kelly, and asked for attorneys ..."
Eventually, Kelly hired eight lawyers to fight his extradition to Manitoba. It was said he was willing to spend his entire fortune in order to avoid returning to Canada to face trial.
"The only reason father was grabbed at Chicago was because he was away from the influence of his friends," claimed sons Charles and Laurence. "He is a property owner in Minnesota and preferred to fight at St. Paul, where all arrangements had been made. It was a deliberate trick to catch him in Chicago."
Kelly's sons claimed citizens of Mexico received more justice than Canadians and the charges against their father were "ridiculous."
McRae and Crown attorney R.A. Bonner travelled to Chicago hoping to bring the fugitive back to Canada. "We are going to take Kelly back with us if we have to stay here a year," asserted McRae.
Actually, it was a lengthy process to extradite Kelly, who vigorously fought his removal to Canada all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
On October 15, Kelly first appeared before U.S. Commissioner Louis F. Mason to be extradited on charges of defrauding the Manitoba government. His hearing was postponed and Kelly was denied bail as a flight risk.
Being denied bail was not overly onerous on Kelly as he only spent one day in jail in Waukegan, Illinois. Instead of awaiting his extradition hearings in a "proper jail," Kelly was permitted by local police to lease the entire second floor of the Genesee Hotel where he was joined by his wife and daughter-in-law, a son and a "retinue of servants."
The lavish accommodations had apparently been allowed by Sheriff E.J. Griffin of the Lake County police with the tacit approval of local U.S. Marshall John J. Bradley.
Hundreds of kilometres away in Washington, Solicitor-General John W. Davis heard about Kelly receiving special privileges while supposedly in the custody of the U.S. government. He telegraphed Bradley in late December asking why the prisoner was not in a proper jail, pointing out it would be embarrassing to the U.S. government if an international prisoner escaped.
Bradley's reply was that it was none of Davis's business. The solicitor-general was not amused and wired Bradley back to have Kelly committed to a "proper jail, there to remain until surrender shall be made."
In the meantime, U.S. Commissioner Lewis F. Mason first heard the Kelly case and concluded, after being presented the evidence gathered in Manitoba, that the charges against the contractor were justified and ordered his extradition.
Kelly appealed to the U.S. District Court, but Judge Kenesaw Landis, the man who cleaned up baseball after the infamous Chicago White Sox gambling scandal in 1919, upheld the earlier ruling and again ordered Kelly extradited.
The U.S. Supreme Court then heard the case on April 17, 1916, and upheld the earlier rulings.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said: "The fact that there were other steps necessary in addition to sending in a false account, or that other co-conspirators co-operated in the fraud, does not affect the result that on the evidence Kelly obtained the money from the provincial government by fraudulent presentations to which he was a party and that his statement was the foundation upon which the government was deceived."

For years the best bet for an Egyptian in New York was to hide behind a pastrami sandwich and pray. Now, at long last, it is time to get out from behind the rye bread and mustard.

This Lake Elsinore project was funded by the HERO program. The artificial turf provides a green, low-maintenance, no-water landscape solution. The pavers made for an expansive patio for entertaining. The walkway leads to a fire pit with beautiful views of the lake. The project was complete with an insulated patio cover to protect the home owners from the harsh summer sun.
This sprawling residential yard in Menifee begged for some hardscape and plantings. After project completion, the homeowner was able to enjoy a custom statement water feature, a large fireplace, BBQ combination, expansive paver patios, grass and garden spaces. The low voltage lighting installed allowed for year round, day and night enjoyment!
This golfers' delight in Corona features an extra-large putting green, a chipping area and even a sand pit. The artificial turf across from the golfing area provides additional recreation space for the family.
Artificial turf was a feature of this Roripaugh Ranch landscape that created a low maintenance and low water area for grandchildren to play. The raised garden boxes allow for delicious homegrown vegetables and herbs to be grown for all to enjoy!


Reading this article I get the impression that you are suggesting bales should be rolled out rather than placed out ahead of time for planned bale grazing. If this is what is being suggested, I would like to point out the cost of rolling out bales. Seventeen years ago I was feeding 200 dry cows rolling out bale with horses. A friend using a pickup with a roller kept telling me that his method was very inexpensive. When we did a comparison, yardage when feeding with horses cost $0.25/hd/day, his method cost $0.35/hd/day, and planned bale grazing cost $0.10/hd/day. Based on 200 head, planned bale grazing saved $30 & $50/day respectively. Yes nutrients are concentrated, however, to be a low cost producer, all expenses must be considered.
Yes, unrolling hay will cost more than bale grazing.
If bale grazing is done at an appropriate number of bales per acre to not overload the soil with N, the result is islands of nutrient enrichment with higher productivity than the surrounding areas.
What is the difference in total yield the subsequent year(s) after the hay was fed depending on whether it was unrolled or bale grazed?
Depends on the environment. I do not know of research making that comparison.
Anecdotally, I have heard ranchers claim anywhere from no difference to 50 more AUD/acre when the hay was spread out more uniformly. I suspect the person who said there was no difference has no actual measurement to verify that claim. The individual claiming 50 AUD/acre more has records showing that difference. He is convinced there is an advantage to unrolling hay compared to bale grazing.
Using the figure of an AUD value of $.58 from your article today, that would be $29 more income per acre from unrolling the hay.
Was your comparison of yardage cost in US on CAN $?
in 2017 an 11acre paddock provided 49SDA of forage. A herd of 350 dry cows was bale grazed in the paddock the winter of 2017-18. During the summer of 2018, that same paddock provided 194SDA of forage, for an increase of 145SDA. Using $0.58/SD, that equates to an increase of $84/ac (CDN$ lol). I have not seen that kind of improvement rolling out bales, however, my experience is limited.
At what hay price point does bale grazing become viable? Local hay prices are $150-200/ton, and the $150 needs protein supplement.
I've done bale grazing when hay was inexpensive, would be costly venture this winter.
What is the product value of critters eating that hay?
Where is the cattle market today?
How much wastage is occurring in the bale grazing? That depends on frequency of feeding.
Another reason I prefer unrolling is you can much more tightly control wastage compared tobale grazing.

Should I Move With Family or Professionals?
Moving is always stressful, both physically and emotionally. There are certain aspects of the process you can't change and will have to deal with but there is one area in which you can make a decision, and it will be a major one: do you hire professional movers or ask your friends and family if they will help?
1. How much stuff do you have to move? If all your things can be moved in two loads or less, friends may be a better option. If you have a lot of things, especially larger items, hiring professionals can reduce a day-long endeavor into only a couple of hours.
2. How much experience do your friends/family have moving? Will they be able to navigate tight corners without damaging walls or your furniture? Do any of them know how to load a moving van for the greatest efficiency? Professionals move items for a living and know the tricks that make navigating easier, and they have learned how to make the most of the space available.
3. Will friends and family help willingly? Professional movers are hired to move things. You don't have to worry about them feeling you are taking advantage of the relationship or taking them away from something else they feel is more important. If you know the help is given willingly and doesn't create hardship or inconvenience for your friends, then ask for their help. If you aren't sure, consider a professional.
4. How far are you moving? If you're only moving down the block or across town, it might make sense to settle for your friends or family. If the move is further away, professionals will not only be more cost-effective but also time-saving.
Now, consider the pros and cons of both choices.
*Can make the process fun.
*Plans can change and leave you stuck on moving day.
*It will take a lot longer.
*Breakages aren't financially covered and neither are injuries.
*Move can be completed quickly and efficiently.
*You can count on them showing up.
*They have the experience to move with minimal damage.
*You may feel you have no control of the process.
If you still can't decide which option is best for you, consider combining the two. You could ask for friends and family to help with some of the smaller items and hire professionals to move the larger pieces. You may also ask for help packing and unpacking from friends or family and leave the rest to professionals. You can decide which things are best completed by professionals and which you feel comfortable with letting your friends and family help with.
Whatever you choose, take time after the move to relax and enjoy your new home. You've worked hard on making it happen and deserve a break.

Q: Org-Capture-Template portablility in Windows and Crostini I've been using org-mode for my GTD system for a little while and now that I'm happy with it I decided to set it up on all my computers. My main machine for the last year or so has been on Archlinux and that's where I did my setup originally now I've added a windows computer and a Pixelbook running Emacs in crostini. I'm syncing my org files with Dropbox and that works fine. I've copied my .emacs file to each computer and changed some file paths for my windows machine. Almost everything seems to be working fine except for something strange with my Capture Templates.
On the Pixelbook the Templates using file+olp+datetree throws an invalid capture target specification ie:
("m" "Meeting Note" entry

(file+olp+datetree "~/Dropbox/org/Journal.org" "Meetings")

"* Description: %^{Description|Meeting} %T

- Participants: %^{Participants}

- Location: %^{Location}

** Notes:

- %?

** Next Steps: :ReFile:

- [ ] ")

On the windows computer my Inbox ToDo capture throws the same error in the minibuffer:
("t" "New TODO to Inbox" entry

(file "C:/Users/jgallo/Dropbox/org/GTD.org" "Inbox")

"* TODO %?" :prepend :time-prompt t)

Anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?

A: The file+olp+datetree target expects just one argument, the filename. The same is true of the file target in your Windows configuration. If you want to use a headline for the target, you can use file+headline.
The details of these can be seen in the Org manual at Org capture template elements

Why don't supermarkets open stores in West Oakland?
Higher development costs in densely populated urban areas where there is limited land availability for building larger supermarkets. One study concluded that it can cost up to 30% more and take up to three times as long to build a grocery store in a densely populated urban area.
Higher employee turnover in lower-income areas where fewer residents have job training and job experience. Large supermarkets tend to lack the ability to provide the in-depth employee training and ongoing support necessary to mitigate this problem.
Higher rates of product loss from shoplifting, employee theft, damaged and spoiled products, and errors in recording the purchase and sale of products. Many chain stores struggle to establish authentic relationships with their employees and customers in a way that reduces these problems.
Inability to tailor products and services to the preferences and needs of specific communities. Large chain stores can have a difficult time adapting to communities with a high degree of cultural diversity.
Inability to undertake the deep community engagement and relationship building necessary to strengthen the business' chances of success.
We believe that there are solutions to all of these issues. Designing the right solutions requires fresh thinking, local insight and an investment of time and effort. Most supermarket chains aren't able to make that kind of investment. There's also evidence that independent grocers that are locally rooted can more effectively address these issues and can perform better and serve better in lower-income areas. We're creating People's Community Market to demonstrate solutions that can work and how independent stores can excel at providing those solutions.

Today in Black America - January 15
Shattering the Myth of a Post-Racial Society
By Dr. Ron Daniels
POSTED: July 28, 2009, 12:00 am
The arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates by police officers in his home in Cambridge has ignited yet another debate about the degree to which race still matters in American society. In fact, a considerable number of analysts, advocates and ordinary people (including Blacks) believe that the election of the first African American President signals the dawning of a post-racial society. Ostensibly, this means a society where race is no longer a significant barrier to fulfill one's aspirations or where a group's progress is no longer constrained or adversely affected by deeply ingrained myths, stereotypes and misconceptions about its culture, habits and behavior – where structural/institutional racism is a thing of the past.
Make no mistake about it; Africans in America have made huge strides towards freedom in this country in the last half century. There are no "white only" signs visibly blocking our access to public accommodations; poll taxes and grandfather clauses have been banned and people of African descent have penetrated to the highest heights of virtually every profession, appointed and elective office in this land including, the presidency of the United States. As the old folks might put it, "we sure ain't what we're gonna be, sure ain't what we want to be, but we sure ain't what we were!" That we have made enormous progress since emancipation from enslavement and the abolition of apartheid should be self-evident. However, those who believe this progress has eradicated racism are delusional.
Professor Gates may well have been one of those who were drinking the post-racial society Kool Aid before his highly publicized encounter with the police. If this had been a non-prominent Black person, the incident would not have made the news at all, let alone provoke a firestorm of national controversy. The media was quick to point out that Professor Gates is one of America's most distinguished Black scholars. He is not only a leading Black scholar, he has long been a darling of the White academic establishment because of his assault on African-centered education and notable African-centered scholars like Dr. John Henrik Clark and Dr. Leonard Jeffries, arguing that their work was too political and not sufficiently rigorous to meet the standards of the academy. Therefore, it came as somewhat of a surprise that Professor Gates would come out swinging so militantly after feeling he was profiled by the Cambridge police.
But then again, he is not the first among us to experience the rude awakening that class and elite status do not matter when you are Black in America. Far too many in White America, and frankly immigrants who come to this country and are infected by stereotypes and negative images in the media, perceive Blacks as criminals and suspects people to be feared, mistrusted and avoided. This is particularly true in the criminal justice system where Professor Gates got his reality check.
As our late, beloved Sister Dr. Charshee McIntyre documented in her book The Criminalization of a Race, ever since we arrived in this country as enslaved Africans, the criminal justice system has been used as a mechanism to control, constrain and detain people of African descent based on the false premise of White superiority and Black inferiority. Largely, this has meant that Whites have had a different and more positive experience with the police and the courts. For example, after emancipation, many states and local governments passed vagrancy laws, specifically forbidding individuals or groups to loiter in public places. These laws were specifically targeted at the formerly enslaved Africans, the vast majority of whom were without land or property in their newfound state of "freedom." With no "40 acres and a mule" or other provisions to give them a meaningful stake in society, they were prime candidates to be disproportionately victimized by these newly enacted laws. As a result, formerly enslaved Africans were disproportionately incarcerated in the penal institutions in the South, where many of them were leased out as labor for private companies in the infamous "convict lease system."
As Blacks migrated in large numbers to urban areas in the North and West, the role of the police was to contain and control the new immigrants inside the confines of what Dr. Kenneth B. Clark termed "dark ghettos." Historically Blacks in urban areas have tended to view the police as an occupying army sent in to "crack heads" to maintain peace/security among a suspicious, unruly, lawbreaking and culturally different people. Hence, police brutality has been endemic to the Black experience in America. Euro-ethnics/Whites do not understand Black fear, anxiety, anger and suspicion of the police and the criminal justice system because their experience has been different. With rare exception, they have been treated as citizens while people of African descent have been treated as intruders, suspects and criminals. Institutional racism abides in the criminal justice system.
The so-called "war on drugs" is another example of the difference in approach the criminal justice system takes toward the Black and White communities. Even though Whites consume drugs at a higher rate than Blacks do, the primary battleground for the "war" has been Black communities, particularly aimed at Black men. Employing "quality of life" and "zero tolerance" policing methods and paramilitary units as the enforcement mechanism, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Black men have been stopped and frisked on the streets for drugs and weapons or pulled over and had their cars searched. It is as if an entire race/community has been "profiled." The war on drugs has exacerbated tensions between the police and the Black community. Little wonder that a recent New York Times/CBS News poll revealed that 66% of Black men feel they have been stopped by the police because of their race as compared to only 9% of White men.
Moreover, because of disparities in sentencing between powdered cocaine and crack cocaine, which is trafficked heavily in the Black community, hundreds of thousands of Black people, mostly men, are disproportionately incarcerated in the prison jail-industrial complex. Things have hardly changed since the vagrancy laws were adopted and targeted at the Black community after emancipation.
If Professor Gates were not a "prominent" person, he would be in jail. The real story is that thousands of ordinary Black men have similar encounters with the criminal justice system every day in America and land in jail. Thousands more are routinely stopped, frisked, humiliated and grudgingly permitted to go their way. Some do not survive these encounters at all. What is certain is that virtually Black men in America carry the history/memory, if not some personal testimony, of this oppressive relationship with the criminal justice system just below the surface of their consciousness. Most Whites in America have no such memory.
Straining to contain himself in the face of increasing hostility among Whites, President Obama was correct to suggest that the police incident in Cambridge is potentially a "teachable moment." Race still matters in America. If we are ever to achieve a "post racial" society, then this nation must stop being in denial about the persistence of racism in American life and address the disparities in experiences and perceptions of Whites and Blacks head on. Otherwise, ordinary Black folks will continue to bear the day-to-day burden of being routinely profiled in America, out of sight and out of mind until an injustice to another prominent Black man or woman catches the attention of the media.

Life is restarting again. Or that's what if feels like. Summer is such a confusing time for people like me, mothers of school-aged children. Because while other people are vacationing, you're wondering where your time to do anything went. Then you feel badly for not enjoying your children. Then you take them to do fun things that turn out to be difficult because the schedule change is hard for them, too, and cranky times happen. So do good times, and my Summer had a fair share of both.
But I'm also a college instructor, so Summer means a break from teaching, if you can call it that. Again, I'm a full-time mother during the day, so sometimes my teaching is my break. For me the smell of chilled air means I have a whirl-wind of tasks I must complete: finish writing my syllabuses, make sure the kids are immunized, fill out paperwork, go to parent orientations, and do the hundreds of other task I normally undertake on top of preparing my children for a routine. I'm not in love with the rush of anxiety that's been my friend as August has come to an end.
But I do love the Fall, both the season, and the fall from summer. We are shedding off the wild times for a more contemplative break, a schedule of thoughtfulness, and that fits my other occupation-writing-very well. My manuscripts are waking up, shaking off the sand that I tossed their way from too many trips to the beach. The warm weather was ripe for fine tuning and editing, but creativity was dormant or pushed to the side for family fun and sun time. My mood is sure to seem more morose, my fingers a frenzy of stories built up, but I'm never sad that the gloom has begun.
To me, Fall is a hot cup of tea, pumpkin-based foods, spices, sitting on hay and reading when it rains. Eating, drinking tea, writing and reading are my favorite things and I don't have to feel badly for staying out of the good weather to pursue them. Or I don't have to pretend to want to get sunburned. I get to run in the rain, write, read and have tea parties with my kids when they get home from doing their things. I get to help them imagine what to be for Halloween, and eat hot, crisp pumpkin seeds.
Blackouts, depression and gloom, as a woman with a mood disorder is sure to be another form my fall takes. But I still can't help but get excited when the wind replaces the sun and the rain drowns out the brown. Even when things die in the Fall, it seems to make sense, and it's a more beautiful, colorful death. Golds and browns and yellows and reds.
It's September and I'm ready to Fall.
H.M. Jones is the author of Monochrome, re-released by Gravity, an imprint of Booktrope. Her short story "Light Storm of 2015" is one of six time travel tales in Masters of Time. She is also a contributing poet to several soon to be released anthologies, including My Cruel Invention and No More Shame, as well as the author of the poetry quartet, Attempting to Define.
For a fall treat, she is releasing a short story entitled "Tiptoe Through Time," available September 20th. She plans on spending the cold weather writing like a mad woman and becoming a NanoWriMo winner. She's working on a YA sci-f/dystopian novel this Fall, and, yes, she might wear a steam pirate hat for kicks. There are no rules to what one can wear in the Fall.
My hubby is ready for fall and the cooler weather it brings. For me, my impromptu paid vacation is over and I'll be going back to work. I'm a little mixed about that because I had plenty of time this summer for writing and the day job always cuts into that.

Q: force inno setup to store data in HKCU with PrivilegesRequired=lower When Inno Setup configured with PrivilegesRequired=admin, it stores uninstall registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
How can i force to store uninstall registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER?

A: As your title said, you need to use PrivilegesRequired=lowest. Anything other than that, and the "local user" may not be what you expect.
If the setup needs admin permissions to remove the old setup, you can use ShellExec, making sure that the application you're calling as the admin manifest, or you pass the "runas" verb.

An 'Enduring' Attraction - Motorsports
By Team autoX | on August 1, 2013
Even if you are a neutral fan of Endurance sportscar racing and not particularly turned on by Audi's near decade and a half long domination of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it is still a great time to follow the greatest sportscar race in the world.
There is the tense battle Audi is waging with Toyota as both manufacturer squads try to prove that they have the best handle on hybrid technology. And while Audi has maintained that an undertaking like Formula 1 is not relevant for them, they haven't been above taking a helping hand from F1-derived technology.
The German squad won its 12th overall Le Mans title in 14 years and second in as many years with the R18 e-tron Quattro, a diesel-electric hybrid fitted with a flywheel based energy recovery system that was initially developed by Williams F1 for their 2009 Grand Prix machine.
Japanese rivals Toyota also employ a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) device on their petrol powered TS030 Hybrid. Lead by the team of Anthony Davidson, Stephane Sarrazin and Sebastien Buemi, Toyota fell just one lap shy of beating their German rivals whose pairing of Danish legend Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Loic Duval took top honours.
As if the battle between two of the biggest automobile groups in the world with some of the best drivers in the business wasn't enough, there's also the matter of what all is to come in 2014 and beyond.
Porsche's return to the legendary race next year officially took shape with its LMP1 challenger being unveiled while testing in Germany as was the driver who would get behind the wheel of it.
Having had his fill of Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing's machinations, Australian Mark Webber will return to sportscar racing where he gained infamy as the driver of Mercedes' notoriously 'airborne' CLK GTR in 1999.
Porsche's return is believed to be a source of friction between it and Audi, both of whom come under the Volkswagen Group umbrella.
Idle speculation has Audi linked with a foray into F1 in the near future in the wake of Porsche's Le Mans entry, due to F1's adoption of the 'green' 1.6-litre, turbocharged, Energy Recovery System, V-6 units.
However, it is far more likely for F1's new powertrains to be featured at Le Mans before an existing manufacturer decides to switch disciplines in order to avail of the new engine formula.
French sportscar manufacturer Alpine is believed to be in line to receive a powered down version of Renault's 2014-spec F1 engine for use in the LMP1 category. It would be in line with the intention of the International Automobile Federations' (FIA) plan for the engine formula to become a 'universal' one for its racing disciplines. An added bonus for the FIA would be for more manufacturers to follow Honda back to F1 as well.
However, even a new F1 engine pales in comparison to the more radical ideas featured in the great race's 'Garage 56' entry. The entry slot is reserved for alternatively powered vehicles and next year will see the evolution of Nissan's Batmobile-esque Deltawing racecar in the ZEOD RC.
The futuristic closed-cockpit racer is intended to be a test-bed for Nissan's future electric propulsion systems. Even though the ZEOD RC itself is not fully electric, technologies like zero emission settings are intended to be tested and developed using it as the ultimate laboratory on four wheels.
Let's just hope the car fares better than the diminutive Deltawing itself last year that got punted out by Toyota's hybrid entry!


In an interview to Sport Mag the former world No. 4 Sebastien Grosjean commented on the main players competing at this week's Montpellier Open. On the 19-year-old Canadian Denis Shapovalov, Grosjean said: "His offensive game is very efficient, including an amazing serve for a lefty.
He is young with a big potential, like he showed through his big wins against Rafael Nadal and Juan (Martin) del Potro, just to mention someone. He is already part of the new stars in the world of tennis, it was very good for the Open South de France that he was there."
"Gilles Simon played very well at the beginning of the year and he won most of the titles by playing indoors. The Open Sud de France is a tournament he likes, even if he did not reach the final yet." "Jo-Wilfried Tsonga started the year very well with a nice semifinal in Brisbane.
His injuries are behind him and he can still get very good results. Already last year he impressed us before getting injured at the end of the semifinals." "Tomas Berdych was very strong in Doha for his comeback to the competition, reaching the final.
He is a player who competed at the highest level for a long time, especially on a fast surface and who already won the Open Sud de France in the past."


The cultural heritage of Scotland is celebrated in A Scottish Year, a book for children ages 4 to 8 that looks at the life of children in Scotland. The book shares information on celebrations, foods, school, free time activities, and the landscape, with simple color illustrations that show children engaging in a variety of activities. This book is part of a series that examines life for children in other countries, and it does a fantastic job of illustrating the differences and the similarities between cultures.
