Poet Douglas Ridloff creates American Sign Language poetry and performs at ASL Slam, a creative outlet for deaf people.
It's spoken word without spoken words—ASL SLAM is an open space for poets to perform their work in American Sign Language (ASL). As ASL SLAM's executive director Douglas Ridloff explains, ASL poetry doesn't rely on rhyming patterns or meter within auditory or written wordplay; rather, the art is "more about the movement, a visual rhyme versus an audio rhyme." Its performance is a stunning and emotionally potent artistry that connects with all audiences.
ASL Slam is an "open hands" event where members of the deaf community express themselves through poetry. Held at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, individuals can rap, rhapsodize and rehash on stage.

ASL has now gained legitimacy and been shown to include the deep grammar and syntax found in spoken languages. It is also the wellspring of deaf culture, a proud community wary of historical attempts to assimilate them into a hearing world.

ASL SLAM Provides an Artistic Outlet for Denver's Deaf Community
ASL SLAM got its start in New York City in 2005 as an open mic night with the name ASLian Poetry and Storytelling Night, which pushed the notion that ASL could be used in poetry performances. By 2010, emerging artist and poet Douglas Ridloff had taken over and expanded the concept to satellites in Denver and Boston.

ASL SLAM, self-described as "a space for Deaf performing artists to take to the stage and rap, rhapsodize and rehash," is a monthly ASL poetry and storytelling event in New York City, Boston and Denver curated by poet Douglas Ridloff.
"Deaf people have a voice," Ridloff signed from the stage Sunday night. "It's silent, but we can be quite vocal." After the show, Ridloff explained through interpreter Anthony Adamo, "ASL Slam provides deaf people an audience that can participate, but also gives them a chance to be part of one, or to get up on stage and express their art through different types of poetry."

How to Farm Mud Carp
10 December 2009, at 12:00am
This guide from the FAO Cultured Aquatic Species Information Programme provides information on farming Mud Carp (Cirrhinus molitorella).
Cirrhinus molitorella Valenciennes, 1844 [Cyprinidae]
FAO Names: En - Mud carp, Fr - Carpe de vase, Es - Carpa de fango
Biological features
Body laterally compressed and elongated, round abdomen; standard length 3.3-3.8 times body height and 4.7-5.2 times head length; small and short head; snout blunt; mouth inferior and transverse; two pairs of palpi, one on snout and the other on mandible, the former longer than the latter; 62-74 gill rakes on the first outer gill arch, gill rake long; three rows of pharyngeal teeth slanting at the tip, laterally compressed, formula 2.4.5-5.4.2, 37-39 scales in lateral line. Dorsal fin ray: 3-4,12-13; pectoral fin ray: 1,15-16; ventral fin ray: 1,8; anal fin ray: 3,5-6. Dorsal part of adult head and back greenish grey, lower part silvery. 14th and 15th scales above pectoral fin marked with turquoise blue crescent spots. Green stripes on base of lateral scales. Fins all purplish.
Mud carp culture began much later than common carp, in the areas along the Pearl River of southern China. According to historical records, the culture of mud carp was closely related to the will of the current governor. In the Tang Dynasty (618-904 A.D.), the family name of the emperor happened to be pronounced the same in Chinese as common carp, the only fish cultured then. The royal family prohibited common carp to be sold and killed by the people. For this reason, mud carp was chosen by farmers as a substitute for common carp in aquaculture, together with silver carp, bighead, grass carp and black carp; the seed of these species were easily available in the areas along the Pearl River.
Mud carp culture remained relatively small-scale, due to its dependence on wild seed, until success in induced breeding technology significantly promoted its farming. The fish is native in the Mekong, Chao Phraya, Nam Theun, Xe Bangfai and the Nanpangjiang basins of Asia, as well as in the Red River (China and Viet Nam) and Pearl River.
Mud carp have been introduced to several other countries, including Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan Province of China and Hong Kong SAR. Almost all reported farmed production of mud carp occurs in the People's Republic of China.

Habitat and biology
Mud carp are native Asian freshwater fish with a broad distribution from the Mekong to the Pearl River deltas, inhabiting lakes, rivers and reservoirs. A semi-migratory species, the mature broodstock migrate to the upper reaches of major rivers to propagate. As noted in the historical background section above, they have been introduced to about five other countries and territories and there have been limited reports about natural populations occurring in those areas.
Mud carp normally dwell in the bottom of the water column; they prefer clear water and can move swiftly. They do not tolerate temperatures below 7 ºC. This species is naturally omnivorous, feeding on organic detritus, filamentous algae, and pieces and seeds of aquatic weeds. However, the fry/larvae feed on zooplankton. Mud carp reach sexual maturity when three years old. Although they reach sexual maturity during aquaculture, they are unable to spawn unless induced by hormone injection and environmental stimuli, such as flowing water.
Production cycle
Seed supply
At present artificial propagation is the major source of mud carp seed, although natural seed is still available in the Pearl River. Seed collected from the wild is mainly used for maintaining the genetic quality of broodstock. Broodstock used for artificial propagation are usually raised in captivity from seeds from the wild or from breeding stations where good natural stocks are maintained.
Hatchery production
Broodfish of mud carp weigh about 0.8-1.4 kg (for example, a female mud carp weighing 850 g has an ovary weighing 136 g and has 204 000 eggs - usually an individual fish can spawn more than 100 000 eggs). Well-matured breeders are released into a spawning tank (round, cement, with diameter of 6-10 m and a water depth of ~2 m), after being injected with an inducing hormone (usually LRH-A). The oestrus of mud carp begins 4-6 hours after injection. The sex ratio of female and male of mud carp is 1:2. The mud carp often makes a low mating call 'ku ku', with many bubbles coming up to the surface of water. Water circulation is maintained throughout the spawning period.
Eggs are transferred to hatching raceways or jars, either manually or by gravity. Hatching raceways (which are round or ellipse-shaped structures) are commonly used for large-scale production. The width and depth of the raceways is normally 0.8 m and 0.8-1.0 m respectively. The inlets are mounted on the bottom of the raceways with openings in the same direction and at an angle of around 15 º to the bottom, to promote water circulation. Screens are mounted on the inner wall for discharging water during the operation. Water can be totally drained out through the outlet on the bottom. Current flow is maintained during the hatching period to keep the eggs and larvae suspended in the water column. This phase typically takes about 18 hours at 28 ºC.
Rearing fingerlings
Nursery phase
Earthen ponds (usually 0.1-0.2 ha and 1.5-2.0 m deep) are used for the nursing of mud carp. Ponds are chemically treated after total drying, to eliminate all harmful organisms after total drying; normally quicklime is used for this purpose, at 900-1 125 kg/ha. Organic fertiliser - animal manures and/or plant wastes ('green manure') - is commonly applied, to increase the natural biomass of algae and zooplankton, 5-10 days before stocking, according to water temperature. The quantity of fertiliser is usually 3 000 kg/ha for animal manure or 4 500 kg/ha for green manure. Green and animal manures can be used simultaneously but the quantity of each is reduced accordingly.
Monoculture is practiced in the nursery stage, with a stocking density of 3 mm fry normally ranging between 4.5-6.0 million/ha, depending on the length of rearing and targeted size. The nursery phase usually takes 4-5 weeks in China. Organic fertilisation is used to enhance the supply of zooplankton, normally ranging from 1 500-3 000 kg/ha once every 4-5 days for animal manure or green manure, depending on existing water fertility. Soybean milk may also be used as both direct feed and fertiliser to replace organic fertiliser in this phase of culture; if used, the normal quantity is 3-5 kg (dry soybean)/100 000 fish daily. This usually means production costs are high. A paste-form of soybean cake or other by-products from grain processing is applied from the 5th day after stocking, usually at a rate of 1.5-2.5 kg/100 000 fish daily. Sometimes a paste of water peanut, water lettuce and water hyacinth is used to replace the above-mentioned feed and fertiliser regimes at the rate of 25-40 kg/100 000 fish daily (0.5 per cent of table salt needs to be added to the paste of water peanut to remove its saponin toxicity). Normal survival rates in nursery ponds are 70-80 per cent, although they may reach over 90 per cent under good management.
The fish usually reach a length of about 30 mm after 4-5 weeks of rearing. These are called summer-fingerlings in China and are ready for the fingerling rearing stage. Conditioning, through careful netting and holding the fish at high density for a while (several hours) is required before the transfer of summer-fingerlings to the fingerling pond; this enhances tolerance to transport stress.
Fingerling production
Relatively larger (0.2-0.3 ha) and deeper earthen ponds (about 1.5 m) are used for fingerling rearing. Contrary to the nursery stage, both monoculture and polyculture are practiced. Usually monoculture is adopted for summer-fingerlings from 30-60 mm in size. It is important to ensure good fingerling survival rates to select healthy and similar size fry for stocking; they should be active, uniform-sized, bright-coloured, complete-scaled, small-headed, and thick-backed, and able to swim strongly against water flow. A stocking density of 3.5-4.5 million/ha is used for monoculture. Mud carp fingerlings can be polycultured with other carp species except silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), which competes for the same food; the stocking density is usually 1-1.5 million/ha when it is the major species in the pond. For example polyculture ponds may be stocked with 1 050 000-1 500 000/ha of mud carp, and 45 000/ha of grass carp or 1 050 000-1 200 000/ha of mud carp, 15 000/ha of grass carp, and 30 000-45 000/ha of bighead carp.
Feeding is vitally important throughout the fingerling rearing period, mainly with commercially manufactured feeds. In monoculture, groundnut cake can be used at 0.3 kg/day/10 000 fish. Two months after stocking, 'tatsao' (a traditional Chinese combination of various wild herbaceous plants, compost and inorganic and organic manures that encourage the proliferation of plankton) is applied at 1 500-2 500kg/ha once every 15 days.
Fingerling rearing normally takes 4-8 months in China, but can be considerably shortened in warmer climates or if lower stocking densities are used. The normal survival rate should be above 80 per cent.
Ongrowing techniques
The most commonly adopted ongrowing technique for mud carp is polyculture in ponds. Though this species grows slowly and does not reach such a large size as grass, bighead and silver carp, it can be reared in high density and its production rate is high. Mud carp may be stocked either as the major species or as a secondary species, together with other carps.
Polyculture as a major species
When they are one of the major species in pond polyculture, mud carp stocking density is 15 000-25 000/ha of 25-50 g fish. Grass and bighead carp are also stocked as major species; 1 200-1 800/ha of 250 g grass carp and 450-2250/ha of 500 g bighead carp are used. Other fish are stocked as secondary species, such as silver carp (375-750/ha of 250 g fish), tilapia (3 000-6 000/ha of 15-20 g fish), common carp (375/ha of 100 g fish), black carp (75/ha of 500 g fish), and bream (525/ha of 50 g fish).
After one year, the mud carp typically reach 125-200 g, with a production level of 2 000-3 000 kg/ha, accounting for about 24 per cent of total production, which ranges from 7 500 to 10 000 kg/ha. The grass carp reach 1 000-1 500 g (~1 800 kg/ha), the bighead carp 1 000-1 500 g (~2 700 kg/ha), the silver carp 1 000g (~700 kg/ha), the tilapia 150g (~560 kg/ha), the common carp 900 g (~270 kg/ha), the black carp 2 000 g (~120 kg/ha), and the breams 250g (~100 kg/ha).
Mud carp are omnivores that feed on both natural food and commercial feeds. Although some farmers continue to use individual feed ingredients or mixtures of them in monoculture systems, the use of pelleted commercial feeds is becoming more popular. These feeds mainly consist of by-products from oil extraction (such as soybean cake) as the major protein source, together with grain processing by-products. The use of animal protein (fish meal) is very limited (
Polyculture as a secondary species
Mud carp can also be stocked as a secondary species in ponds, in which case no special feeding is required; the mud carp stocking density is normally 7 500-9 000/ha of 25-50 g fish. Production can achieve 1 000-1 500 kg/ha in a year, usually accounting for 10-15 per cent of the total. Mud carp can also be cultured as a secondary species in pens in shallow lakes; stocking and production levels are similar to pond culture.
Feed supply
Commercial feeds are readily obtainable in China. There are many manufacturers of freshwater fish feeds and some are specifically designed for mud carp.
Harvesting techniques
Mud carp, being a bottom-dwelling fish, are difficult to harvest effectively without draining the pond. Harvesting takes place at the end of the culture period firstly by netting at a reduced water depth, followed by total harvesting after drainage. Selective harvesting is also practiced by some farmers for balanced marketing. Selective harvesting is usually conducted in the early morning (because temperatures are relatively low and for morning sales) during late summer and autumn. Individuals of marketable size are selected after netting.
Handling and processing
Farmed mud carp is normally sold live or fresh. However, some is canned and a small quantity is processed by ready-to-eat food stores. This process consists of mincing the fish back muscles in a grinder and mixing the result with flour to form a fish cake or quenelle (dumplings). Mud carp are also dried and salted by some traditional inland fishers or farmers.
Production costs
This varies according to the culture practice used but is normally below USD 0.60/kg.

China is the major producer of farmed mud carp; in 2001 (the last year for which statistics are currently reported from China for this species) it produced 220 000 tonnes. In that year, only 118 tonnes was produced in the only two other producing areas, China Hong Kong SAR (104 tonnes) and Taiwan Province of China (14 tonnes). Production in these latter two areas has fluctuated quite significantly; peak production was 368 tonnes in China Hong Kong SAR in 1999 and 419 tonnes in Taiwan Province of China in 1989. In 2001, the last year for which full statistics are reported, the global value of farmed mud carp exceeded USD 220 million.
Market and trade
Mud carp is currently mainly consumed locally. Traditionally, it is consumed fresh. Some farmed fish are marketed live or fresh; some are canned, and some are processed to fish cakes or dumplings by ready-to-eat food stores, and some are marketed dry or salted. Mud carp has a moderate price that is affordable to middle- and low-income people. There is no specific control over the marketing of mud carp as it is basically for local consumption.
Status and trends
Mud carp has a long history in aquaculture and is one of the most important species cultured in inland water bodies in southern China. Considerable efforts have been devoted to research on this species; the most important achievement has been success in the development of induced breeding technology. This will ensure a constant supply of seed for large-scale farming. Another important aspect of research was the study of nutritional requirements and the development of cheap pelleted feeds. There have also been many studies on disease control under culture conditions. Culture techniques and models for pond culture have also been well developed.
Output in Taiwan Province of China and China Hong Kong SAR has declined in recent years, possibly because of changes in consumer demand. Despite its delicious taste and fine meat texture, mud carp contain a large quantity of fine inter-muscular bones, which may limit acceptance by the modern consumer. Producing larger fish (>500 g) could significantly alleviate this problem.
Mud carp is a preferred fish in southern China, due to its good meat quality and high nutritional value. Progress in genetic improvement to improve growth rates is on-going in China, in order to increase the marketable size. This would make mud carp more competitive and better accepted by consumers. In addition, canned mud carp is becoming more and more acceptable to consumers. The prospects for further increases in production in China are therefore quite positive. However, for the reasons listed in the previous paragraph, it is unlikely that there will be any significant increase in the production of this species in other countries, or for mud carp to become an important item in the international market.
Mud carp is an omnivore, and a very suitable secondary species in polyculture in ponds and pens. In those cases it does not need special feeding and there is no negative impact on the environment or other fish. However, its intensive culture as a major species is more dependent on pelleted feed. Accumulation and discharge of various wastes to natural water bodies may cause adverse impacts. Poor management of fish health may result in the extensive use of various chemicals and drugs, which may affect the quality of the product and also cause pollution.
Responsible aquaculture practices
Several issues need to be addressed in considering responsible aquaculture practices for mud carp culture:
The first is the use of antibiotics and other drugs in disease control during the intensive culture of mud carp. Due to high stocking densities and the poor water quality that results from various wastes, such as unutilised feed and fish faeces, mud carp are often infected with bacterial and parasitic diseases. Antibiotics and other chemicals are sometimes used for treatment. This form of abuse may cause negative impacts, either directly or indirectly, on consumers. Efforts should be made to ensure that reasonable stocking densities, good feeding practices and quality feeds, and good water management are used to minimise the occurrence of these various disease problems. The relevant government regulations must be strictly observed whenever chemicals and drugs are used.
The second is the impact of intensive pond culture. With the increasing use of artificial feeds, unutilised feed and other wastes gradually accumulate, and water containing high organic and other chemical levels is usually totally discharged into natural water bodies at the end of the culture operations; this can cause negative environmental impact. Reasonable stocking densities, integrated fish farming and careful management of feeding are highly recommended in order to minimise these impacts.
A third issue is the genetic quality of the seed used in farming. Artificial breeding of this species has been practiced for four decades in China but breeding control was not always regarded as having high importance by all hatchery operators in the past and inbreeding actually happened in quite a few farms. This caused a degradation of the quality of seed produced for culture, which may result in poor growth performance and less disease resistance. The latter problem can also bring another dilemma - increased use of antibiotics and other drugs. Therefore, induced breeding of mud carp should be carried out with carefully maintained broodstock of genetic quality.

Suzi Dunn went through a difficult phase in her life – losing her mum to cancer, turning 40 and struggling with anxiety. But she had always wanted to fly a plane, and for some reason, that dream resurfaced just when she was at her lowest ebb.
As a little girl, I lived in Lincolnshire, England, close to one of the RAF bases, which happened to be home to the famous acrobatic display team, the Red Arrows. The fighter jets roaring overhead and air traffic control messages blaring on radio mesmerized me. Adding to this fascination, I was given a flight simulator for Christmas in 1984. Ever since, I have dreamed of flying and learning more about air traffic control.
Of course, life intervened – I studied Computer Science at College and my career took a different path as I specialized in IT Service Management. My dad passed away when I was 25 and I also got busy with family life.
A few years ago, I lost my mum to cancer and entered a difficult phase in my life – struggling with anxiety. Around the same time, I turned 40 and something happened inside me: I wanted to chase my long cherished dream of flying!
In April 2017, I finally started flying lessons. I got immense support from my sisters and close friends who knew this was my moment of reckoning. I persisted in mastering the nuances of flying, working through all the demanding pre-requisites, as I tried to achieve my pilot's licence within a year.
It was not all plain sailing. I faced setbacks. I struggled with some manoeuvres, especially with landing techniques. It was also a constant battle to find the time to prepare for the daunting challenge of nine written exams, a radio exam and the two and a half hour flying exam. But I kept my goal in sight, snatched time for studying during train journeys to and from work and completed all of the exams successfully!
Throughout this journey, I've enjoyed immense support from the TCS family. As a woman, there are certain parallels between my work in IT and my experience at the flying school. In general, I felt that I had to work harder to prove my commitment whilst operating in professional environments largely dominated by men.
Personally, I'm sure that I've evolved in the process. From my inspiration, the pioneering female aviator Amelia Earhart, I learnt that determination and tenacity are of prime importance in life. Once you take the initial leap, everything else falls into place. So I now have more confidence and faith in myself. And I hope I have shown my daughters that, once you have set yourself and committed to a goal, nothing can stop you from achieving it.
Whilst I look forward to more flying and visiting airfields, I'm already onto my next pursuit – training to be an Air Traffic Controller. I recently passed my written exams to be a Flight Information Service Officer (FISO) at the local airfield, an initial step into air traffic control. I'm also aiming to earn an instructor's certificate to introduce others to the joys of flying.
Flying is all about safety. It's about being aware of your engine, knowing your limits and understanding what risks to take. The same principles apply in life. We have to prioritize, be prepared for the journey whilst planning for every possible emergency. To my colleagues, I would like to say that nothing is impossible. Set small goals, chart your course and you will come out with flying colours!

Gold Cup Qualifying Fixtures Confirmed
Follow the latest Gold Cup news on Facebook (Gold Cup Rugby) and Twitter (@goldcuprugby).
GARDENS Rugby Club of Uitenhage grabbed the final spot in this weekend's Gold Cup qualifying play-offs when they recorded an historic first-ever EP Grand Challenge title on Wednesday night.
Gardens beat Port Elizabeth Harlequins 27-13 in front of 3,000 spectators at the Central Ground in Uitenhage to ensure they are just two play-off matches away from representing Eastern Province in SA Rugby's three-nation championship for non-university clubs, which kicks off on 10 September.
All rugby roads in the Eastern Cape will lead to the DP Ferreira Stadium in Rosedale on Saturday afternoon when Gardens host arch-rivals East London Police, who finished top of the Border Super League, in one of four Gold Cup play-off knockout matches scheduled across the country for 15h00.Vaal Reefs will host newly-crowned Limpopo champions Potgietersrus in Klerksdorp; Blue Bulls Carlton Cup champions Matleng Centurion will welcome Wesbank of Boland; and in Durban, Your Communications College Rovers will continue their Gold Cup rivalry of recent years against Raiders of Johannesburg.
The eight play-off teams are seeded according to the final provincial rankings from the 2015 Community Cup – as the Gold Cup was known then. The format is straight knockout, with the four winners from this weekend playing against each other in two matches next Saturday, 27 August. The two surviving sides will take their places in Pools A and D of the Gold Cup proper.
"When 3,000 people come out on a cold Wednesday night to watch club rugby in a working-class town like Uitenhage you just know there's something special brewing around community rugby," said SA Rugby CEO, Jurie Roux. "Last weekend we had a full house at Outeniqua Park in George for the SWD final and that wasn't even the biggest crowd of the weekend.
"Boland Park saw 9970 people attend the Worcester derby between Villagers and Young Hamiltons and this trend of people flocking back to club rugby is being seen all across the country. The Gold Cup will kick off in three weeks' time and and it's then that the wider rugby public will hopefully see just how much the club game has bounced back in the last few years."
The Gold Cup kicks off on 10 September, with 20 clubs once again competing in a Rugby World Cup-style format consisting of eight pool matches per week for five weeks up until 8 October. The top two from each group will progress to the quarter-finals a week later. All knockout matches, including the televised semi-finals (22 October) and grand final (29 October) will be hosted at participating clubs.
The rugby-mad Boland town of Worcester will host the televised opening match of the tournament when OneLogix United Bulk Worcester Villagers – at 133 years, the oldest club in the Gold Cup having been founded in 1883 – host Tiger Wheel & Tyre Welkom Rovers in Pool A. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & HD, kicking off at 14h45.


In a statement issued through his agent, the couple said their baby, Poppy, was delivered stillborn in London on Saturday.
Dawn was eight months pregnant. On July 5, Barlow tweeted that Poppy was due to be born in seven weeks' time.
In the statement, Barlow said: "Dawn and I are devastated to announce that we've lost our baby. Poppy Barlow was delivered stillborn on August 4 in London.
The 41-year-old singer had previously spoken about how he was looking forward to becoming a father for the fourth time with his wife, a 42-year-old dancer.
Speaking at the time, he told fans: "We are a very excited family."
In April, Barlow, already a father to Daniel, Emily and Daisy, wrote on Twitter: "There's gonna be another girl in the Barlow household!"
He was recently asked by a fan on the website how Dawn was, and replied: "gr8 tanx, 7 weeks to go."
In June he was crowned celebrity dad of the year.

Is it a fliny tying helicopter?
Of course the machine in the picture above is a superconducting magnet, capable of bending the light with it's huge magnetic fields. The principal purpose of this machine is to bend light beans in an angle of 180º, causing a front colision betwen the photons of the original light bean, generating matter from the energy gained due this colision. The element created depends of the initial frequency of the original light bean.
The bean must enter in the left side of the machine. The black and yellow tape can be moved freely and transport the supercurrent, creating the huge magnetic field needed to bend the light.
It's very important to keep metal suff away from this device, sice it can cause a simple paper clip to become a deadly projectile, due the huge magnetic fields involved.
This is a prototype for the next generation xbox. it's portable and comes with a built in screen.
This is the "New and Improved" Politician Maker 3000. When you get tired of your current political representative, you can just come to this machine and purchase another. Politicians are made of clear transparent material fed from the back so you can see what they're really full of. This is only a prototype machine, and can only produce politicians of current quality, the next generation machine will actually be able to produce ones that actually work and do what you want them to do.

This was Poland's response to IBM's Deep Blue in 1996. Unfortunately, the device was largely rejected once word got out that the extent of its functions were limited to multi-colored blinking lights and a bios, beep-code version of the Polish National Anthem, ma'zurɛk dɔmbrɔf'skʲɛgɔ, played in loop.
This is a leaked photograph of President George Bush's commissioned but as-of-yet unfinished mind-control machine. The caution tape design was implemented soon after Mr. Bush and vice President Cheney mistook its long trough for a urinal after an evening of whiskey shots and prank calls to the Vatican.
This is the control module for Senator Hillary Clinton's left hemisphere. The left half of her brain was replaced by a small but powerful computer after injuries sustained from sniper fire in Bosnia, 1996. Linear reasoning and language functions, taking place in the temporal-parietal junction of the left hemisphere, are meant to be controlled by the implanted software. Sadly, the unit stopped functioning during the recent presidential primaries.
This machine, now in the possession of a "murder memorabilia" collector, was devised and built by a manic depressive, bi-polar schizophrenic with the sole purpose of ending the life of media celebrity Joan Rivers – for reasons yet unknown. Its function was to cause instant cellular deceleration and deconstruction of all organic matter when activated with a human inside its armature. After Ms Rivers was chloroformed and removed from her Beverly Hills mansion around midnight last week, the perpetrator placed her within the confines of the machine. The machine performed flawlessly; however the perpetrator was found passed out on his basement floor, apparently after having discovered Ms. Rivers –alive and cursing – with all but her left ear and two big toes remaining.
This was the first and last fully automated, pet-hair macramé machine. Users would place their squirming pet (be it the unlucky dog or cat) within the steel structure – then by selecting the desired macramé pattern from the digital display on the left, they could turn their pet into a walking show-piece. For a brief period in the mid 1980's there were countless dachshunds, collies and other long-haired breeds with dreadlocked, owl patterned backsides and knot-braided legs. The ASPCA quickly stepped in and cited numerous cruelties due to the machine, including the loss of the Rastafarian movement's identity. The machine was dissembled and shipped to a Chinese buyer, where it is now installed in the kitchen of a downtown Beijing restaurant – turning stray dogs into "designer" food for the high-society Chinese. Latest information suggests that the continuous-squareknot Pomeranian soufflé-aux-de-la-fruit is a major success; along with the popular slipknot-hitch cocker spaniel mandarin appetizer.
This is not your grandmother's loom boys and girls, this is the counterbalanced Loomtronic 7000. Put your achy little arthritic fingers to rest grandma, this bad-boy can churn out your formulaic old rug designs in under two minutes flat. Yes ladies and gentlemen, your wait is over – step out of the way "Fruit of the Loom," there's a new kid on the block, which can make your too-tight-for-comfort-itchy-as-heck-why-are-my-cheeks-chaffing whitey titees faster than a sweatshop worker on crack-cocaine. This is it folks, this is the answer to the world's sheep overpopulation problem. An entire village of Ukrainian retirees were put to the Loomtronic 7000 challenge; and after nearly nineteen straight hours, and four cardiac arrests, the Loomtronic 7000 still outproduced and outpaced the competition. If the Sheik of Tajikistan bought one for making his custom silk underpants, why shouldn't you own one?

It wasn't until Dan Brown was completing research for a new novel did the details of this item surface in 2002.

The train will run from Jayanagar in Bihar to Kurtha in Dhanusa District in south-eastern Nepal's Janakpur zone. This is a 34-kilometre stretch.
Sources in the Indian Railways have confirmed that the first passenger train to run onboard gauge between Indian and Nepal is likely to commence this December.
It is also learnt that Indian and Nepalese nationals crossing the border via this train will have no visa requirements. The train will run from Jayanagar in Bihar to Kurtha in Dhanusa District in south-eastern Nepal's Janakpur Zone. This is a 34-kilometre stretch.
According to the Economic Times, an immigration check-post manned either by the Bureau of Immigration or the State Government will be established at the Jayanagar Station.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs will be finalizing the logistics through meetings. The government has had several inter-ministerial meetings with the Nepal government, railways and other stakeholders.
After Nepal's Prime Minister, K.P. Sharma Oli's official India visit, the relations between the two countries got onto the right foot and the rail link sealed through the agreement for the construction of the railway line linking Raxaul in Bihar with Kathmandu.
The project, divided into three phase, is estimated to cost over Rs 5 crore. The first phase already discussed above is near completion; second is the construction of an 18-kilometre segment from Kurtha to Bhangaha in Mahottari District; and the last, a 17-kilometre segment from Bhangaha to Bardibas.
The Himalayan nation, Nepal shares cordial relations with both India and China.

World Energy Outlook 2019 highlights deep disparities in the global energy system
Deep disparities define today's energy world. The dissonance between well-supplied oil markets and growing geopolitical tensions and uncertainties. The gap between the ever-higher amounts of greenhouse gas emissions being produced and the insufficiency of stated policies to curb those emissions in line with international climate targets. The gap between the promise of energy for all and the lack of electricity access for 850 million people around the world.
The World Energy Outlook 2019, the International Energy Agency's flagship publication, explores these widening fractures in detail. It explains the impact of today's decisions on tomorrow's energy systems, and describes a pathway that enables the world to meet climate, energy access and air quality goals while maintaining a strong focus on the reliability and affordability of energy for a growing global population.
As ever, decisions made by governments remain critical for the future of the energy system. This is evident in the divergences between WEO scenarios that map out different routes the world could follow over the coming decades, depending on the policies, investments, technologies and other choices that decision makers pursue today. Together, these scenarios seek to address a fundamental issue – how to get from where we are now to where we want to go.
The path the world is on right now is shown by the Current Policies Scenario, which provides a baseline picture of how global energy systems would evolve if governments make no changes to their existing policies. In this scenario, energy demand rises by 1.3% a year to 2040, resulting in strains across all aspects of energy markets and a continued strong upward march in energy-related emissions.
"What comes through with crystal clarity in this year's World Energy Outlook is there is no single or simple solution to transforming global energy systems," said Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA's Executive Director. "Many technologies and fuels have a part to play across all sectors of the economy. For this to happen, we need strong leadership from policy makers, as governments hold the clearest responsibility to act and have the greatest scope to shape the future."
However, the momentum behind clean energy is insufficient to offset the effects of an expanding global economy and growing population. The rise in emissions slows but does not peak before 2040.
Alongside the immense task of putting emissions on a sustainable trajectory, energy security remains paramount for governments around the globe. Traditional risks have not gone away, and new hazards such as cybersecurity and extreme weather require constant vigilance. Meanwhile, the continued transformation of the electricity sector requires policy makers to move fast to keep pace with technological change and the rising need for the flexible operation of power systems.
"The world urgently needs to put a laser-like focus on bringing down global emissions. This calls for a grand coalition encompassing governments, investors, companies and everyone else who is committed to tackling climate change," said Dr Birol. "Our Sustainable Development Scenario is tailor-made to help guide the members of such a coalition in their efforts to address the massive climate challenge that faces us all."
A sharp pick-up in energy efficiency improvements is the element that does the most to bring the world towards the Sustainable Development Scenario. Right now, efficiency improvements are slowing: the 1.2% rate in 2018 is around half the average seen since 2010 and remains far below the 3% rate that would be needed.
Electricity is one of the few energy sources that sees rising consumption over the next two decades in the Sustainable Development Scenario. Electricity's share of final consumption overtakes that of oil, today's leader, by 2040. Wind and solar PV provide almost all the increase in electricity generation.
Putting electricity systems on a sustainable path will require more than just adding more renewables. The world also needs to focus on the emissions that are "locked in" to existing systems. Over the past 20 years, Asia has accounted for 90% of all coal-fired capacity built worldwide, and these plants potentially have long operational lifetimes ahead of them. This year's WEO considers three options to bring down emissions from the existing global coal fleet: to retrofit plants with carbon capture, utilisation and storage or biomass co-firing equipment; to repurpose them to focus on providing system adequacy and flexibility; or to retire them earlier.

Home News Democracy in Text Only – India Blocks 800+ Porn Sites
Democracy in Text Only – India Blocks 800+ Porn Sites
Martin van Staden
According to an AFP report on IOL News, India's Department of Telecommunications has instructed domestic internet service providers (ISPs) to block around 857 pornographic websites.
This is despite the Supreme Court of India ruling earlier last month that the government cannot ban porn sites, as it would be in violation of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the rights of all citizens to personal liberty. But the government is now playing a linguistic game of legalese with the courts, stating that they are not banning the right of citizens to view porn, but rather the right of websites to show porn.
Thankfully, there are many ways to circumvent the unconstitutional and illiberal excesses of government, as Quartz India reported recently. What they fail to mention is the very useful application known as TOR, which can be found at www.torproject.org. According to the TOR Project website:
"Tor's users employ this network by connecting through a series of virtual tunnels rather than making a direct connection, thus allowing both organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Along the same line, Tor is an effective censorship circumvention tool, allowing its users to reach otherwise blocked destinations or content."
By all accounts it appears that the Indian social media network has come out largely in opposition to these measures by their government. As was heard in the Supreme Court, the most common objection to the ban is 'why exactly is the government trying to tell adults what they can and cannot look at inside their own homes?'
Obviously, this would not have happened in the first place had organizations and activists not called for it. Be it leftists who believe pornography 'objectifies women' or rightists who believe it chips away at the 'moral fabric of society', it is the close minded elements within civil society who usually champion the inevitable oppression citizens suffer at the hands of their governments. I have been unable to identify specifically which Indian civil society entities were driving this initiative, however.
India has often been hailed as the world's largest democracy. But does democracy truly exist when the people (demos) cannot rule (kratos) themselves? Here's hoping the Indian Supreme Court will declare the government's trickery of legal language to be inconsequential to its prior order, and reverse this draconian, moral policing measure.

Porvair Sciences, a producer of high-performance filtration and separation technology is hoping to drive medical and healthcare device innovation with its range of Vyon porous plastic materials.
Vyon is a highly versatile porous plastic whose surfaces can be modified to give them hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties or enhanced to achieve specific chemical and biochemical separations.
Additionally, Vyon also aims to offer excellent inherent properties for venting by allowing closed environments to breathe whilst maintaining bacterial resistance. This is thought to be a key property in a wide range of medical applications and highly desirable.
The hydrophilic version of Vyon has been shown to give enhanced benefits when used with aqueous solutions.
Unwanted fluid transmission is prevented by the addition of a material to the Vyon composite material that is able to swell on contact with aqueous solutions, resulting in an effective shut-off valve being produced.
Vyon is a suitable choice of porous plastic for medical device and healthcare companies looking to produce drug filters, vents for catheters, medical collection vessels and operating theatre bone mixing cement with a competitive advantage.

It's pretty much a simple continuous run with a front scenic area showing a double track; one serving a small branchline through station, with a siding for parcel's/goods loading and unloading, or for serving a terminating train. The other line serves for through express and freight services. The fiddle yard at the back can accomodate a small number of locos etc, off scene. The layout could represent any era, though the lack of a run-around facility on the goods siding could limit the layout more towards the diesel era.

Not very far from the Italian border, can you find three beautiful holiday apartments (ATI867, ATI003 and ATI004) spread over two floors, each with a private entrance and a private garage in Obernberg. The house is lovingly and very elegantly decorated. At your disposal is a balcony, a terrace and a cosy little cottage on the shared property. Directly next to the house are hiking trails that lead to the beautiful mountain valleys of Obernberg. Obernberg is located about 40 km south of Innsbruck, beside a valley in Wipptal, away from the busy tourist areas and traffic of the city. This pristine natural landscape provides a 'dream background' especially in winter for various Ski- and hiking trips. A cross-country skiing trail runs for about 8 km around the St. Nikolaus Church up to the magnificent, snow-covered forest at the end of the valley. It further leads to a leisurely hike to Obernberger Sea after which you can go back to the valley in a great toboggan ride. The toboggan ride is illuminated in the evenings and is suitable for the family. The location of holiday houses is such that it is ideal for undertaking day trips across the Brenner as well as to south Tyrol and into the Inn valley with many tourist attractions and destinations. There is a playground in front of the house for the children.

Horror moment two female cops set on fire after molotov cocktail thrown at them
**WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT** Anti-government protests have gripped Chile in recent weeks, with one shocking video showing two cops being set alight in Santiago
Sofie JacksonNews Reporter
Horrifying video shows the moment a molotov cocktail set two female police officers on fire after being hurled at their feet during a violent protest in Chile.
The two women had no time to react as they were engulfed in flames barely a second after the projectile hit the ground.
In what looked likes shock or panic they tried to beat the fire out with their hands, with one of the policewomen then going out of view of the shot.
Thankfully, another police officer had a fire extinguisher to hand and the fire was put out within about 10 seconds.
One policewoman was then seen on the ground, moaning with her face screwed up as if in severe pain, while her colleagues tried to help her to her feet.

Dad of Mexico Mormon shooting victim says drug cartel killed two nephews in 2009
The shocking incident was filmed on Plaza Italia in the central Chilean capital Santiago while a team of Chilean police, known as Carabineros, were trying to contain a protest on Monday.
Local authorities said the officers are being treated in hospital and, despite the severity of the attack, are not in a life-threatening condition.
Chile's police force has faced allegations of violence and sexual assault against anti-government protesters as the uprising took hold in recent weeks, taking an increasingly violent turn.
Maria Hernandez Torres and Abigail Aburto Cardenas have been named as the two policewomen set alight by the petrol bomb explosion.
The injured cops were visited by Interior Minister Gonzalo Blumel, the director general of the local police Mario Rozas, and the sub-secretary of crime prevention Katherine Martorell.
Blumel condemned the "cowardly attack" and stated that the authorities "reject these violent acts".
Speaking out on Twitter, Senator Isabel Allende Bussi also slammed the violence.
She wrote: "Defending human rights is also about rejecting this kind of behaviour".

She then added: "I hope there will be many raised voices against this violence, burning and looting that does nothing to improve people's quality of life".
The National Institute of Human Rights in Chile (INDH) claimed that "several serious human rights violations" have been committed by the authorities during 18 days of protests for a fairer society.
The authorities are reportedly investigating 23 deaths related to the protests.
According to the INDH, more than 1,600 people have been injured during the unrest while the Red Cross believes the number could be closer to around 3,000.


A man of moderate temperament, Orlando Bridgeman came from Wigan, where his father held the living, being later appointed Bishop of Chester. After graduating from Cambridge Bridgeman practised at the Bar, becoming a Bencher of the Inner Temple. He was knighted in 1640 being at that time a member of the Long Parliament for Wigan. In 1644 he was a member of the Oxford parliament.
Permitted to practice privately during the Commonwealth, he is recorded as living at Beaconsfield in 1650, a safe distance from London which he was only allowed to visit by special licence. He was created a baronet at the Restoration in 1660, returning to public life and presided at the trial of the Regicides later that year.
Bridgeman had acquired a house in Teddington by 1662, and perhaps earlier, being listed in the Hearth Tax Lists for that year. He may have spent time here in 1667, seriously ill. He retired to Teddington in 1672, ill again, after his dismissal from the post of Lord Keeper of the Great Seal for refusing to sign the Declaration of Indulgence.He brought with him his chaplain, Thomas Traherne.
His house is believed to have been on the south side of Teddington High Street to the east of Field Lane - a house called Bridgeman House was on this site until demolition in about 1911. The Hearth Tax Returns of 1664 to 1672 indicate that the house had about twenty hearths, the largest in the village. The telephone exchange is now on the site.
His wife Dorothy remained at Teddington until her death at the end of 1696 and was buried on 12 January 1697. She gave some land to the parish, on the north side of the street, the income from which was to teach poor children to read.
He died at Teddingtom on 25 June, 1674 and was buried at St Mary's Church where there is a memorial inscription summarising his life.
Patronage of the Curacy had been vested solely in the lord of the manor and rectory until 1671, but then Bridgeman purchased fee farm rents of about £80 in order to augment the living. In consequence, alternative presentation of the curacy was given to him. He did not settle the rents legally on the church so, following his death the arrangement lapsed. Disputes arose between Bridgeman's heirs and Edward Hill, the lord of the manor about presentation which were only settled in 1709 when Sir John Bridgeman and Edward Hill agreed on alternation. This was the year of the appointment of Stephen Hales to the curacy.
Sole rights were later acquired by Orlando Bridgeman, 1st Earl of Bradford (of the 2nd creation) in 1815, being vested in the Bishop of London in 1913.
The 4th Baronet, also Orlando, married Lady Ann Newport, daughter of Richard 2nd Earl of Bradford of the first creation. The title lapsed with the death of the 4th Earl but was recreated for the Bridgeman family in 1815. Francis Newport the 1st Earl (1620-1708) lived in the house later rebuilt as Richmond House on Twickenham riverside.


In endeavoring to prepare officers to meet the Navy's present and future needs, the NA&OE Department offers EAC/ABET accredited degrees in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering (ENM) and Ocean Engineering (EOE) - both dynamic interdisciplinary fields involving the application of engineering principles to the ocean environment.
Learn about our courses, facilities, faculty and most importantly our students by exploring our website.
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering combines imagination, artistic instincts, and proven scientific principles, tempered by basic engineering considerations, in designing the means of ocean transportation of the future. The many types of ships, boats and vehicles needed to operate on, under, or above the ocean's surface provide the broad field in which the designer is to work. The naval architect's technical horizon is bounded only by their energy and creativity.
The key to unlocking the last frontier on earth lies in the hands of the ocean engineer. By blending the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, material science, and oceanography with the basic elements of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, the ocean engineer is able to apply this knowledge to ocean materials, power systems, acoustics, wave mechanics, life support systems, and the design of a wide variety of ocean vehicles and structures.

Was Obama Stampeded Into War?
April 13, 2011 by Linda
"NATO is moving very slowly, allowing Gadhafi forces to advance," said rebel leader Abdul Fattah Younis, as the Libyan army moved back to the outskirts of Ajdabiya, gateway city to Benghazi.
"NATO has become our problem."
Younis is implying that if NATO does not stop Libyan soldiers from capturing Ajdabiya, the rebels may be defeated — and NATO will be responsible for that defeat.
And who is Abdul Fattah Younis?
Until six weeks ago, he held the rank of general and interior minister and was regarded as the No. 2 man in Moammar Gadhafi's regime.
Yet his military assessment does not appear too far off.
Last week, Gadhafi's forces were again on the offensive, after having been driven by U.S. air and missile strikes all the way back to his hometown of Sirte.
What gave the Libyan army its new lease on life?
The Americans handed off the war to NATO and moved to the sidelines, restricting U.S. forces to supporting roles.
As of today, however, it appears that if the U.S. military does not re-engage deeply and actively in this war, the Libyan uprising could go down to defeat. And we will be blamed.
How did Barack Obama get us into this box?
Last week, Sen. Jim Webb questioned Gen. Carter Ham, head of the U.S. Africa Command.
As neither the United States, nor its citizens, nor any U.S. ally had been attacked or imperiled, Webb asked, what was the justification for the U.S. attack on Libya, whose government, Gadhafi's government, the State Department still recognizes as the legitimate government of Libya?
"To protect lives," was Ham's response.
Yet, as last week brought news of the slaughter of 1,000 civilians by gunfire and machete by troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the man we recognize as the legitimate president of the Ivory Coast, a question arises: Why was a real massacre in West Africa less a casus belli for us than an imagined massacre in North Africa?
Was Obama stampeded into war by hysterical talk of impending atrocities that had no basis in fact?
That is the issue raised by columnist Steve Chapman, that ought to be raised by a Congress that was treated almost contemptuously, when Obama launched a war without seeking its authorization.
On March 26, over a week after he ordered the strikes on Libya, hitting tanks, anti-aircraft, radar sites, troops and Gadhafi's own compound in Tripoli, 600 miles away from Benghazi, Obama told the nation he had acted to prevent a "bloodbath" in Benghazi.
"We knew that if we waited one more day, Benghazi — a city nearly the size of Charlotte — could suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world."
White House Middle East expert Dennis Ross reportedly told foreign policy experts: "We were looking at 'Srebrenica on steroids' — the real or imminent possibility that up to 100,000 people could be massacred, and everyone would blame us for it."
A hundred thousand massacred! And our fault? But that is seven times the body count of Katyn, one of the Stalinist horrors of World War II. Was Benghazi truly about to realize the fate that befell Carthage at the hands of Scipio Africanus, at the close of the Third Punic War?
How did the White House come to believe in such a scenario?
In this low-scale war, the cities of Zwara, Ras Lanuf, Brega, and Ajdabiya have changed hands, some several times. Misrata, the only rebel-held city in the west, has been under siege for seven weeks.
Yet in none of these towns has anything like the massacre in the Ivory Coast taken place, let alone Srebrenica. The Guardian's Saturday report read, "Fierce fighting in Ajdabiya saw at least eight people killed."
Yemeni President Saleh's security forces killed six times that many civilians just to break up one rally in his central square.
True, on March 17, Gadhafi said he would show "no mercy." But as Chapman notes, he was referring to "traitors" who resisted him to the end. And Gadhafi added, "We have left the way open to them."
"Escape. Let those who escape go forever." Gadhafi went on to pledge that "whoever hands over his weapons, stays at home without any weapons, whatever he did previously, he will be pardoned, protected."
Perhaps Gadhafi is lying.
But there is, as yet, no evidence of any such slaughter in any town his forces have captured. Nor do the paltry forces Gadhafi has mustered to recapture the east — Ajdabiya was attacked by several dozen Toyota trucks — seem capable of putting a city of 700,000 to the sword.
With the Libyan war now seemingly a stalemate, and pressure building for the United States to renew air and missile strikes, and train and equip rebel forces, Congress needs to learn how we got into this mess.
Was Obama stampeded into this war by the panic and hysteria of his advisers? Because, quite clearly, he did not think this thing through.

Q: How to add the word "Table" to subtable caption in subtable? This is a follow-up to this question and I will be using the table provided in the answer:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\DeclareCaptionSubType*{table}
\captionsetup[subtable]{labelformat=simple}% no parens
\renewcommand{\thesubtable}{\thetable\alph{subtable}} % added <<<<<<<<

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht!]
        \centering
        \begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
            \centering
        \begin{tabular}{cc}
            a&b\\
            c&d
            \end{tabular}
            \caption{sub one}
        \end{subtable}
        \begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
            \centering
        \begin{tabular}{cc}
            a&b\\
            c&d
        \end{tabular}
            \caption{sub two}
        \end{subtable}
        \caption{Two sub--tables caption}
    \end{table}

    \begin{table}[ht!]
    \centering
    \begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
        \centering
        \begin{tabular}{cc}
            w&x\\
            y&z
        \end{tabular}
        \caption{}\label{subt:t2a}
    \end{subtable}
    \begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
        \centering
        \begin{tabular}{cc}
            w&x\\
            y&z
        \end{tabular}
        \caption{}\label{subt:t2b}
    \end{subtable}
    \caption{ As shown in \ref{subt:t2a}  and in \ref{subt:t2b}...}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Which produces a table like this (again taken from the answer):

However, what I want is that the subtables have a word "Table" in the caption and that there are no captions of their parent tables. Additionaly, I would like to insert a period after the table ID in the caption, but not when the table is referred to in the text. Here is a schematic of what I would like, made in Word:

How can I achieve this?

A: Does the following meet your formatting needs?

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{subcaption}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{myformat}{\tablename\ #2}
\captionsetup[subtable]{labelformat=myformat,labelsep=period}
\renewcommand{\thesubtable}{\thetable\alph{subtable}}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\p@subtable{} % no prefix string in cross-references
\makeatletter

\usepackage[noabbrev]{cleveref} % optional, for '\cref' macro

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering

\begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc} a&b\\c&d \end{tabular}
\caption{Sub one} \label{tab:xx}
\end{subtable}
\begin{subtable}{0.3\textwidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc} e&f\\g&h \end{tabular}
\caption{Sub two} \label{tab:yy}
\end{subtable}

\end{table}

As shown in \cref{tab:xx,tab:yy}, \dots
\end{document}

Lease discussions with White Pass remain suspended | The Skagway News.
After a long process of creating, reviewing and approving a memorandum of understanding (MOU) governing a potential new tidelands lease agreement and amendments to the current lease between Skagway and the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, the railroad's attorney had taken a first crack at producing a lease based off the MOU.
However, following the negotiating team's receipt of that draft lease, Skagway's Borough Assembly voted to have the mayor send a letter to White Pass announcing the assembly's determination not to proceed further with drafting a tidelands lease.
"The municipality expected to receive a draft amendment to the 1968 lease and a draft 15-year lease beginning in 2023, consistent with the signed MOU," Mayor Monica Carlson said in her letter. "The negotiating team was surprised to receive a draft lease beginning now until 2023, replacing the 1968 lease, and with deviations from the MOU.
White Pass President John Finlayson said the railroad strongly believes that a relationship between it and the borough should be a cooperative one.
Finlayson said the instructions given to White Pass' lawyer was the lease was to mirror the MOU.
The letter is "a little ambiguous" as to how the railroad and borough should proceed Finlayson said, and he added that he is curious to see the assembly's plan moving forward.
"It takes two to dance, and if you don't have a willing partner then there's not much you can do," Finlayson said.
"It is our goal to welcome all cruise lines to our Municipality in a fair and equitable way," Carlson wrote.
In addition to the executive session on March 15, the assembly has recently held a number of closed-door meetings over matters dealing with the borough's waterfront. Most recently an executive session was held on April 5, where the assembly privately discussed the potential hiring of a port director, specialized legal counsel, development of a request for proposals for port waterfront management and other topics. After re-opening the meeting back up to the public on April 5, the assembly voted to continue that executive session discussion at a special meeting on April 12.

I've been playing the piano for about 10 years, but I never really felt like I enjoyed it or that I would ever progress with it until I found The Piano Place!
I feel like a whole new pianist! I've moved up so much faster than I had all the years before. Not only do I enjoy playing now, but it has become a passion.
Thank you so much to The Piano Place for changing my life!
Piano Place has done an excellent job of matching my children with teachers who are perfect for their personalities and musical interests. As a result, my kids love lessons and they love playing the music they are assigned. As a bonus, most of the teachers here have taken the time to learn about the Let's Play Music curriculum, so I am comfortable referring my graduating students here as well.
The piano place has so many talented teachers. After I told them my child's personality, they suggested a few teachers that might fit. I was then able to have my child meet with them and ultimately decide on the teacher that she wanted. Just the fact that my child could choose her teacher made her like piano more. Plus her teacher is amazing at making sure piano is fun for her.
We are so happy we found this place!

I heard Phelps' people are coming Sunday? What say you?
Have heard the same thing. They posted that they would be here at 7 at the Convo on their website. That was posted after they didn't show the other night.
