Japes and Scrapes
Honest John's Dog
Jan 24, 2010 Jul 12, 2015 dunxd1 Comment
The search for Konyagi – Tanzania's national spirit, an oily cane spirit, somewhere between gin, vodka and rum – with it's logo of a triumphant athlete, sent me out into the Kilimanjaro darkness on a quest. We had run out of booze and I'd volunteered to go and replenish our stocks.
We were six 18 year olds, who had just finished school, and had decided to fill a summer before starting university with a few months in Tanzania, back at Uru where some of us had visited two years before. We lived together in a lovely old coffee estate house that had been renovated by some teachers from our school and the people of Uru, to house exchange students visiting from Cumbria.
Starting with the nearest shacks we hunted for any kind of booze, but with no luck we had to look further afield. Normally we stuck pretty close to the house, or in the direction of Kilimanjaro's summit, but that night we found ourselves heading downhill, out of our normal comfort zone. It was late by Tanzanian standards, and store after store was closed. By store I mean a hastily constructed wooden shack, roughly the size of an outhouse, with a small window through which to buy Sportsman cigarettes, Blue Omo washing powder, Lux soap bars, toffeed popcorn, or peanuts in a bag sealed shut over a candle.
Down we went, following the muddy track, stepping over steep puddle filled canyons, building up a platform sole of mud on our shoes. The road curved around eventually to follow the contours of the mountain, and we came to a collection of houses lit with fluorescent beams and centred around what looked like a shop. I wandered into the compound, and was quickly startled by a large barking sound and a small furry figure hurtling towards me from one of the houses. It crashed into my right knee, hitting the top of my calf with bared teeth. I screamed in terror, and more lights started to come on outside the houses. Out of a dark doorway came a figure wearing a captain's hat. He smiled broadly, and asked me what I was doing there.
"Well, I was looking for Konyagi, but your dog just bit me".
"I have Konyagi in my shop, but it is closed. I'll get my keys".
Moments later he invited me into his shop, and lit it with an electric light.
"My name is Honest John Kilayo" he said, and proceeded to tell me about his family, his shop, his friends, and showed me many photographs, as a Chagga is wont to do, even when woken late at night. In the photographs was a friend who I recognised as being from a previous exchange visit, four years ago, perhaps when Honest John had been at school.
He opened beers for us and himself, and we talked while we drank. I paid for a bottle of Konyagi, and reminded him that his dog had bitten me.
"Come back any time" he said. He turned the page of his photo collection to show a scene of him standing proudly in his shop, immaculately stacked with goods, holding a beer in an outstreched hand, the captain's hat on his head. "The day I opened the shop". He turned the page. The next picture showed him lying on the floor surrounded by empty beer bottles and the contents of the shop strewn all around. "We had a party when we opened" he told me. "My father is going to let me manage his other shop in Moshi after this one." More beer came, and we drank it, then, mission fulfilled, it was time to leave.
That night, as we staggered back up the muddle track, the realisation that I had been bitten by a dog in Africa started to settle in the foreground of my thoughts. I had been reading avidly a book of tropical diseases, and knew about the risks of Rabies. I started to sweat as I dwelt on it more. Back at the house I tore my trousers off to check the wound. There was no visible damage, but I could still feel the pinch of the dogs teeth. The more I thought of it, the more it tingled. Since the tropical diseases book said so, I scrubbed the site of the bite with a soapy nail brush. The seeds of a terrible fear that would later plague me were sown, but at least we had something to mix with our tonic water that night.

One thought on "Honest John's Dog"
I remember konyagi coming in big sachets like vinegar and you could add it to your fanta. They also had this ginger thing called tangawiyzi that made you more thirsty than before you had drunk it. Never got into mbegi, often suspected it didn't contain any alcohol. Loved the way they would pass off the flower pot it was served in as a "kalibosh".
I was there twelve years ago and we weren't allowed to live in the Usagara house.


FAIRBANKS — She didn't have her big ulu or her special slanted board but Marjorie "Kunaq" Tahbone smoothly sliced blubber and meat from a ringed seal before an audience Monday during a hands-on lesson.
Not many conventions offer food workshops like this one at the First Alaskans Institute Elders and Youth Conference.
The topic was "Food Sovereignty: Working on Seal" and the lead instructor in caring for the animal was Tahbone, a skilled 27-year-old who calls herself "an elder in training."
The ringed seal, or natchiq in Inupiaq, was hunted in Whittier a few days ago. Tahbone, with help in the butchering from Lyle James of Juneau, had everything on hand to teach the basics: how to render blubber into seal oil, how to stretch the skin for sewing, how to make seal soup from the blood-red meat.
The practical lesson, one of a number of "Living Our Culture" workshops as the conference kicked off its first day, covered deeper ideas too.
"Our seal is basically a center of our lives," said Tahbone, who grew up in Nome in a family who lived by subsistence. "We've made songs for them. We've made prayers around these animals that give us clothing, that give us nourishment, that give us heat, that give us light."
She learned to process seal as a young girl and at age 16 first did it alone. The men hunt and women do the rest.
"The moment the seal touches the shore it becomes our duty to take care of it," Tahbone said.
Step one, she said, is to respect the animal in death as in life. Don't shove the carcass with your foot. Cut its eyes so it doesn't have to see the butchering. Maybe give it a bit of snow or water for a last drink.
"Their spirits are still alive," she told the people young and old in the chilly tent pavilion. Treat the animal well, and its spirit will tell others and bring success in future hunts, she said.
Before she started, helpers sopped up the animal's blood from the blue tarp that was her work station. It's disrespectful to butcher on a dirty space, she said.
She asked for volunteers to help and eager young people stepped up.
"It felt so good to help cut the seal," said Ben Hunter-Francis, 18 and a senior at West High School in Anchorage. His family has roots in Marshall and other Lower Yukon River communities. His family gets seal from village relatives but it arrives in Anchorage jarred or sealed in vacuum bags or maybe a big plastic bag.
He had never worked with a whole seal before. He felt the power of all that Tahbone was saying as he held it while she cut away the meat.
"In my head I was thinking I should do it," he said. "You don't get a second chance to do this."
Tahbone explained as she worked her ulu between layers.
"First, we separate the blubber from the carcass," she said. "What my mom always told me was that it is better that you leave meat on the blubber than to leave blubber on the carcass."
That's because when the meat is dried or otherwise processed, blubber left on it will turn rancid, she explained.
She cut off flippers and said they are delicious too. They also can turn into a children's game. Boil them up to get the meat off the bones. Children then see who can collect the most bones, trying for enough to represent a family and a sled dog team.
All the meat must be cut off the blubber too, so that when it is rendered, the oil is clear and not yellow, she said.
In the far North, where it's dry and cold, the blubber is cut up and put into a bucket, where gradually over a month the oil oozes out. But in Southeast, the blubber is heated to render into oil, a process that James was leading with a portable burner in the pavilion.
What parts can you eat raw? a man asked.
All parts – meat and blubber, Rahbone said.
What do you season it with? For a fresh-seal soup, just use salt and pepper and throw in carrots, onion, celery, potatoes – whatever you like, she said.
The ringed seal, though not as big as a bearded seal, was heavy. Rahbone said she worked out at the gym to prepare for seal processing this year. Some traditional strength games help train too, like Indian stick pull.
"These games are meant for activities just like this," she said.
Tahbone, named Miss World Eskimo Indian Olympics in 2010, lives in Anchorage now and is pursuing her master's in cross-cultural studies at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
She spotted an expert seal-skinner from WEIO in the crowd, Charles Brower of Barrow, which is going back to its Inupiaq name, Utqiagvik. He can skin a seal in one minute nine seconds. But even at age 66, he is eyeing the record of 57 seconds, set in 1969.
What Tahbone is doing is terrific for the youths, he said.
The workshop ended but a few people stayed on as Tahbone continued to scrape blubber from the skin.
Her goal, she said, is to become the best elder she can be.


The other day I was fortunate enough to catch the Good Times: A Historic Bar Tour hosted by Chicago Detours. It's a walking tour of the covering three quarters of a mile of downtown Chicago in just over two hour and covering a century of history.
The tour began inside the tribune tower where introductions were made. Our group consisted of Chicagoans, some relatively new to the area, others like myself were lifelong residents. Several people in our group were issued ipads which contained historical photos and video clips that coincided with the tour.
Our guide was Amanda Scotese, who also is the founder of Chicago Detours. Amanda was a researcher for Rick Steves (his popular Travels in Europe television series is seen on public television and best selling guidebooks are in stores everywhere) before starting Chicago Detours in 2010. With several guides hosting public and private cultural and historical tours around the city all year round, there's always an opportunity to see and learn something new. I'm actually really looking forward to the Our Chicago Sound: Jazz, Blues & Beyond tour this summer. Having experienced the Historic Bar Tour, I know this is not one to be missed.
First stop of our Historic Bar Tour was just down the street at the Intercontinental Hotel. We were quizzed by Amanda on the architectural elements of the building and using those clues were able to ascertain the origin and purpose of the building. Knowing what the building was about lead into a discussion on the cultural climate of the time, not only in the Chicago but in America in general when the building first opened it doors. Pointing out even the smallest details in the decor both inside and out gave us a complete picture of what it must have been like to live back then. Being there really tells the story in a way books and videos just can't.
I don't want to give away too much here as far as the details go since I really want you to go on this tour, being a life-long resident of Chicago I thought I knew this city. Amanda with her meticulous research through public records, stacks of books and publications, was able to piece together the complete history of a small sliver of this city…this after all is a walking tour so there's only so much ground we can cover. Through lively conversation, commentary, and with help of some images and video on our ipads, she re-introduced me to a city that was hiding in plain site.
The Tribune Tower and Intercontinental were eye-opening from an architectural and cultural perspective but I was wondering when we were going to get the "bar" in this Historic Bar Tour. The next stop sure enough we got right to it. Descending down the stairs to lower Michigan Avenue and crossing the street to the Billy Goat Tavern. Along the way, Amanda told us interesting facts about lower Michigan, even our route was steeped in history.
Upon arriving at Billy Goat Tavern, our group sat down at some tables in the back where we were served either beer or wine. Sitting there, were were told the amazing story of William "Billy Goat" Sianis and what it took to open this place. Of course the discussion also covered the Cubs Curse, the "Cheezborger Cheesborger Cheezborger" sketch John Belushi made famous on Saturday Night Live, and how it was a hangout for many great journalist like Mike Royko.
In order to stay on schedule, we only stayed in each place about 15-20 minutes. Moving on to the next location we walked down Hubbard Street to what is now Phil Stefani's 437 Rush (Formerly Burt Kelly's Jazz Club) There our conversation turned to Chicago during the Prohibition Era, Segregation, and the origin on Jazz. I never thought twice about this restaurant until Amanda told of its amazing history…made me wonder what else was I missing out on. While at Phil Stefani's 437 Rush , we were again served either beer or wine… not sure what the house red is there but it was wonderful. In addition to drinks, we also had some appetizers.
The next stop we turned north on Rush Street to the lobby of the Marriott by the North Bridge Shops. Here we discussed cocktail culture of the 1960's and to test our knowledge, we had an impromptu quiz-show…lot's of fun and educational. The evening actually just that… fun and educational. Amanda, though her facts were thorough, never really lectured but rather engaged us all in lively conversation which lead us to discover a lot for ourselves. We were all having too much fun to notice we were actually learning a lot.
The tour runs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays until the end of February but they will likely continue to offer it to the public. It will always be available for private group tours for company outings, birthday parties, and family reunions. There are other tours available both private and public… please visit Chicago Detours for details.


Cute, cute, cute! Glad y'all had a great Christmas! Wish we could've been there. Milo has a bunch of stuff down here too; we'll send it up the next time someone heads that way.
I see Bailey's got his beautiful winter haircut (and am reminded that Roxie got a bone like that, too, that I forgot to give her...).
How funny that Milo loves the car so much! All boy, that one.

La Operazione Gedeone (spa: Operación Gedeón, ing: Operation Gideon) fu un tentativo segreto da parte dei dissidenti venezuelani e della compagnia militare privata americana Silvercorp USA di addentrarsi via mare nel Venezuela e rovesciare il governo di Nicolas Maduro in favore di Juan Guaidò.

Il piano
L'obbiettivo prestabilito da parte della Silvercorp USA e dei dissidenti era di invadere il porto della cittadina di Macuto così da prendere il controllo del vicino Aeroporto Internazionale Simòn Bolivar, situato a 21 km a nord dalla capitale venezuelana Caracas. Il fine ultimo della missione era la cattura del presidente Nicolas Maduro e altri esponenti di spicco del governo bolivariano.

Conseguenze

In Venezuela
In Venezuela la vittoria sugli invasori ebbe un grande effetto sull'opinione pubblica, confermando l'appoggio popolare al governo di Maduro manifestato nelle elezioni presidenziali del 2018. Peculiare fu il coinvolgimento accidentale della comunità di pescatori di Chuao (frazione di Santiago Mariño), che rispose offrendosi di partecipare a un'azione congiunta con le Forze Armate il 4 maggio, contribuendo alla cattura di 8 paramilitari. I pescatori di Chuao, così come i militari coinvolti, ricevettero poi un encomio da parte di Maduro.

In seguito all'Operazione Gedeone il governo venezuelano darà inizio a "Escudo Bolivariano", piano militare finalizzato alla maggiore salvaguardia della costa venezuelana, che prevede lo schieramento di 25.000 soldati pronti a intervenire rapidamente e addestramenti su larga scala in caso di invasione.

Nel mondo
Il governo venezuelano accusò pubblicamente Stati Uniti e Colombia, principali sostenitori di Juan Guaido nella crisi presidenziale venezuelana, di essere collusi con l'iniziativa della Silvercorp USA. Tali accuse verranno poi supportate anche da Cuba e dalla Russia, che provvederà poi il 20 maggio a convocare un incontro del Consiglio di sicurezza dell'ONU per dibattere dell'accaduto con gli Stati Uniti.

D'altra parte, Stati Uniti e Colombia hanno negato qualsiasi tipo di legame tra i rispettivi governi e l'Operazione Gedeone.

Tax dollars are being sent to locations that house Planned Parenthood abortion facilities under the federal family planning program known as Title X. Under the guise of simply providing health care, Planned Parenthood uses Title X funds — citizens' tax dollars — to fund staff and facilities where abortions are also committed. Doing clinical breast exams, Pap smears, and STD testing in the same building where abortions take place enable Planned Parenthood to maximize its use of government funding to also cover its abortion expenses, thus forcing taxpayers to fund the abortion chain's violent and ill-supported activities.
Title X helps to support staff salaries, not just for clinicians but for front-desk staff, educators and finance and administrative staff.
Title X provides for individual patient education as well as community-level outreach and public education about family planning and women's health issues.
Title X also helps to support the infrastructure necessary to keep the doors open — subsidizing rent, utilities and infrastructure needs like health information technology.
In 2015, the Guttmacher Institute surveyed a nationally representative sample of publicly funded family planning clinics. Respondents included 535 clinics that received Title X funds. Based on that survey, an estimated 10% of clinics that received any Title X funding reported offering abortions separately from their Title X project.
An analysis of the June 2017 Title X Family Planning Directory of Grantees reveals that government dollars are being sent to Planned Parenthood administration offices and affiliate headquarters, some of which are located ironically at the same addresses as abortion facilities.
1). Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, Inc., identified in the directory as located at 345 Whitney Ave., New Haven, CT 06511. A closer look at that location shows both an abortion facility and the Connecticut Administrative Office, which also advertises abortions online.
2). Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts is listed at 1055 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA 02215. That address contains both an abortion facility as well as administrative headquarters which advertise abortions.
3). Planned Parenthood of Northern New England's Vermont administration offices, which advertise abortions at select sites is listed in the directory at 784 Hercules Dr., Suite 110, Colchester, VT 05446.
4). Planned Parenthood Assoc. of Utah is listed in the directory at 654 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, UT 84102. This location houses a facility which advertises abortion referrals as well as an administration office that advertises abortions.
5). Planned Parenthood of Illinois is listed in the directly at 18 S. Michigan Ave, 6th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603 and houses the administrative headquarters, which advertises abortion online. Also shown at this address is a facility that performs abortions.
6). Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota's administrative headquarters, which advertises abortions online is shown in the directory at the same location — 671 Vandalia St., St. Paul, MN 55114 — as a facility which commits abortions.
7). Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio's administrative headquarters is listed in the directory at 206 E. State St., Columbus, OH 43215. The same address advertises online that it also stands ready to commit abortions.
8). Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, Inc., listed in the directory at 302 Jackson St. N, Milwaukee, WI 53202, contains an abortion facility which advertises abortion as the only "service" they provide. And, the Administrative Offices and Headquarters also located at that address advertises abortions on its website.
9). Planned Parenthood South Atlantic Headquarters — 100 South Boylan Ave., Raleigh, NC 27603 — contains a facility that advertises both abortion referrals and the affiliate's headquarters, which also advertises that it offers abortions.
10). Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette is listed in the directory at 3727 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. NE, Portland, OR 97221. This address is also the location of an abortion facility as well as the affiliate's headquarters, which advertises abortions.
11). Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands is listed in the directory at 2001 E. Madison St., Seattle, WA 98122. This address is the location of an abortion facility in addition to address for the Washington administration offices.
A response given to a woman who called PP St Paul MN. Watch the video here.
Title X dollars originally sent to the states or to other grantees — instead of directly to Planned Parenthood affiliates — are funding additional Planned Parenthood locations that commit abortions. Live Action's Abortion Corporation investigative series documents this reality further. Live Action investigators called several Planned Parenthood facilities that perform abortions and also receive Title X funds through state programs.
The Brooklyn Park, MN, center made it clear to Live Action's investigator that it offers only "pregnancy tests and then abortion care," despite being listed in the state's directory of Title X-funded centers.
Planned Parenthood's Eugene-Springfield, OR, center told a Live Action investigator, "We do abortions here…" This Planned Parenthood facility is also a Title X-funded center, according to a 2017 state directory published online.
Sending tax dollars to abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood — and thus funding abortion through the back door — has many Americans demanding that Congress step in to defund Planned Parenthood. But, there are additional concerns with Planned Parenthood receiving these funds. As Live Action News has reported, Planned Parenthood's ongoing history in failing to report suspected child abuse should be reason enough to pull Title X funds immediately. A detailed explanation can be found here.
Every year, Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion dollars in government funding. Each day that tax dollars continue to flow to the abortion corporation, Planned Parenthood receives $1.5 million of our hard-earned money and violently ends the lives of 900 precious preborn children. As state and federal lawmakers consider funding Planned Parenthood, they should keep in mind that programs like Title X allow tax dollars to directly assist in keeping Planned Parenthood's abortion facilities open and staffed.
It's time to stop helping Planned Parenthood commit abortions with our own money.

In the time Balance Resourcing has been operating, we have been able to make a very real difference to a variety of businesses in very different sectors. While these businesses are very different in their offering and their expertise, they all have similar requirements to get ahead of the competition - people.
All businesses, regardless of the sector, can successfully differentiate themselves from competitors by having the motivated, talented and experienced people doing what they are good at. Whenever an Operations Director is working on elements of Sales for example, they are inefficiently using their time. Balance Resourcing recognises this false economy and provides a risk averse option to address a missing skill or perhaps just a shortfall in capacity.
We had a client who required an experienced, qualified accountant to join their finance team on short notice.
They had a year end project which was tying up considerable resource and we were approached to facilitate. Regulatory requirements meant that the existing Finance team required a specialist accountant to join the team. The year end deadline meant there was a very real necessity for this person to be able to come in and start work immediately with minimal training.
Derek joined the team and was able to seamlessly join in. He was able to immediately be responsible for the specific area he was working in and he was able to detail and recommend areas where work was inefficiently done and add clear structure and systems to the Finance function. He exceeded expectations in his role and his contract was increased as he partook in additional projects.
A marketing client required an experienced, qualified manager to promotions team on short notice.
Another client has a requirement that up until that point drew resource away from the more key functions of other staff members. Parachuting Helen into a role where she was able to work flexibly alleviated the constrained resource and enabled more focussed work from the existing employees. The fact that the external contractor worked flexibly was not questioned by those other staff members.
An IT company establishing their Scottish presence required an experienced sales manager to join their team.
They were establishing their presence in Scotland and required an experienced sales person to join the start up team in Glasgow. Without detailed knowledge of the market and a limited contact base, the company contracted a sales manager from Balance Resourcing to start the ball rolling. Taking someone on a contracted basis proved to be the best course of action. It allowed the company to start straight away and brought in an experienced person in the Scottish IT sector with minimal risk.
The benefit was two fold, establishing their presence in Scotland, while at the same time, introducing an experienced person to the business, whom they were in a position to take on permanently once the 'pipeline' was established and becoming productive.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Even in far-off Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, a bishop said a young person asked him what the church is doing to prevent clerical sexual abuse.
Bishop O'Toole said bishops "must be subject to processes as robust as those we would expect for our priests" and that it is essential to involve laypeople, and especially women, in the process of reviewing allegations and instituting safeguarding programs.
Archbishop Martin said he sees many signs that young Catholics are open to the work of the Holy Spirit, including the countless hours many of them spent trying to defeat the recent Irish referendum to legalize abortion.

Be sure to grasp just what the examiner would like; it happens to be hugely recommended to refer again towards the query all over the response. This level will probably audio like stating the apparent; but, in my working experience, answering the wrong problem is considered the greatest result in of a disappointing examination final result.
In an introduction to an essay you ought to give you a quick, concise summary with the main points to always be elevated. If proper, you may explain primary ideas. Introductions go erroneous when learners go into much too a lot depth, then repeat their arguments within the biggest system on the textual content. Commonly speaking, it is usually a good idea to begin off with short sentences, instead of complicated sentences. This can allow construct a clarity of considered and goal.
A strategy can certainly help to gather your feelings, and ensure you need to do not fail to remember to mention fundamental arguments. It is really a possibility to brainstorm that which you understand about the topic. Even so, it is indispensable to not enter into as well significantly detail – creating search terms and phrases tend to be the most beneficial treatment. I'd personally propose spending 5 -10 % of the allotted time on producing an introduction.
3 Basic steps of the argument.
The initial move is a common assertion and argument; this portion checks your education.
The second phase is to explain your assertion. Do not neglect you will need to describe in relation towards question. Also, because you believe the explanation is obvious, does not indicate you can keep clear of putting it down.
The 3rd step will be to look with the argument with critical length. That is a chance to discuss why the essential premise may perhaps be erroneous or restricted. It's always a possibility to point out you're able to imagine on your own, rather then just memorise a listing of details. This closing move, generally known as analysis or evaluation, is most likely the most tricky part, but is needed to obtain the optimum mark.
I compose this with Economics in your mind, but, I'm certain it really is related to many others subjects too.
In a conclusion you possibly can weigh up the different arguments and judge which happen to be the strongest and most relevant. A conclusion might endeavor to insert a specific thing new, rather than just repeat former factors. By way of example, you can easlily say why an argument is especially potent and provides justification.
How Significantly To put in writing?
I typically get asked this query by students. Numerous learners will publish one aspect after which quit, close to in mid sentence, basically because they presume this means they have got finished. There is absolutely no accurate solution concerning what amount it is advisable to create. The important matter would be to be able to write up to you will in the allotted time, but, only compose what on earth is suitable. Even though it is a fact high quality is much more essential than amount, never make an effort to do a minimalist style and write as modest as is possible. Often talking, at any time you produce greater you might have a far better chance of getting a bit more points throughout.
Did you respond to the Problem?
Hopefully you did not leave it towards the conclude of your respective remedy to grasp you answered the incorrect query.

Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) are relatively weak and result from noncovalent interactions. Despite their relatively low strength compared to other bonds of biochemical relevance, they play a vital role in determining the structure and function of biological molecules owing to their directionality and cooperativeness. This has led to an intense effort in harnessing the properties of these hydrogen bonds in developing organic electronic devices. Though a large number of theoretical investigations have devoted their attention to the structural and energetic characteristics of hydrogen bonds, there are relatively few studies on the electronic transport characteristicsofhydrogen bonds. Inthis workwe evaluate the electrical conductance of a few model systems exhibiting the biologically important hydrogen bonds (N-H···O, O-H···O and N-H···N). We find that the calculated conductance can be correlated to the magnitude of the polarisabilities of the atoms involved in the formation of the hydrogen bonds. The implications of the current work in understanding electron transfer in biological systems is highlighted. We also address the utility of our work in the design and development of novel sensors and electronic devices based on the formation of weak hydrogen bonds.

Online poker is legal and regulated in three states.
Nevada was the first state to go live on April 30, 2013. Delaware's online gaming network launched on November 1, 2013. That only included online casino games. It took an additional week to bring poker online in Delaware.
New Jersey opened its interactive gaming market on Nov. 21, 2013. That was a soft launch phase. The official opening date for New Jersey online poker is Nov. 26, 2013.
New Jersey's online poker market is ring-fenced. The governors of Nevada and Delaware agreed to a poker liquidity sharing agreement in Feb. 2014. This went live in March 2015.
WSOP.com in Nevada links to all three Delaware poker skins. Nearly all cash games and tournaments are shared between Nevada and Delaware.
Nevada has licensed two poker sites to operate. WSOP.com opened on Sept. 17, 2013. Caesars Interactive, a subsidiary of the casino giant Caesars Entertainment, operates WSOP.com.
The WSOP brand is tied to the World Series of Poker. That's a poker tournament series that tours the world throughout the year. The main World Series of Poker tournaments are held every summer at Rio.
WSOP.com offers new players a 100% up to $400 first deposit bonus. Players earn $10 for every $50 raked when clearing the bonus. There's a monthly reload that gives players the same terms. WSOP.com also has a VIP program known as Action Club. This awards players tournament tickets and cash. Higher tiered players may convert their online status to the Total Rewards players club offered by live Caesars Entertainment casinos.
888 powers WSOP.com. There are no skins on the Nevada site.
Real Gaming is the other site that operates in Nevada. South Poker Casino, a local's casino just south of the Las Vegas Strip, operates Real Gaming.
Real Gaming opened in February, 2014. It's been largely unsuccessful. Real Gaming offers players a 100% up to $500 first deposit bonus. It clears at a rate of $10 for every $50 in rake paid. There's also a VIP program where players earn cash daily.
WSOP.com has about 99 percent of the Nevada market. Real Gaming is dark most hours of the day.
Ultimate Poker was the first site to open in Nevada. Its launch was on April 30, 2013. The site was successful in its early days but the opening of WSOP.com left Ultimate Poker uncompetitive. It had software issues that the site seemed unable to resolve. Ultimate Poker shuttered on November 17, 2014.
888 powers the Delaware online poker network. This is why WSOP.com and Delaware can network. They both use the same platform.
Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway are the three Delaware sites. Each connects to the Delaware poker network. All three offer online casinos. The sites offer identical games. The only differ on logos and promotions.
The Delaware Lottery regulates all three Delaware sites. It keeps all money generated in the form of taxes from online gaming in the state if annual revenue falls under $3 million. That has been the case for its first two years in operation.
New Jersey was the third state to launch online poker. Atlantic City casinos may receive a license to operate an online poker room and casino. Software providers may partner with them. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement regulates interactive gaming sites in the state.
There are only two poker networks in the state. Each has about an equal portion of the market share.
Borgata is the most profitable casino in Atlantic City. It partnered with bwin.party. Party Poker operates as a skin with Borgata but provides little in the way of traffic.
Borgata Poker offers a 100% up to $600 first deposit bonus. Party Poker offers a 100% up to $1,000 first deposit bonus. Each bonus clears at a rate of 50 percent rakeback.
WSOP.com and 888 partnered to create the other New Jersey poker network. WSOP.com is related to the World Series of Poker. Most of the traffic enters through WSOP.com on the network.
The two skins are licensed through Bally's in Atlantic City. WSOP.com offers a 100% up to $400 first deposit bonus. 888 offers a 100% up to $888 first deposit bonus. Both clear at a rate of 20 percent rakeback.
PokerStars entered the New Jersey online poker market in 2016. It operates under the Resorts license.
New Jersey was the last state to launch regulated online poker in November 2013. There has been little movement since by state legislatures.
A bill in California passed out of a state assembly committee and died in 2015. Tribal gaming interests and card clubs in California seem unable to agree on what entities should be permitted in the online poker industry.
Many tribes feel that the racing industry and PokerStars should be left out of online poker. Most card clubs and a few tribes feel all should have equal access. Online poker would be the only legal game in California's interactive gaming industry under most proposals.
Pennsylvania seems to be in a better position to pass an online poker bill than California. It has no opposing interests beyond a single casino that does not want to see any online gaming legal. Most casinos appear to be on the same page when it comes to regulations and licensing.
A budget crisis in Pennsylvania may motivate the state to pass online gaming. Proposals have been made for poker and casino games in addition to daily fantasy sports.

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL NOT APPROPRIATE, FOES SAY
ALAN COWELL The New York TimesSUN-SENTINEL
BONN, Germany _ In a last-minute challenge to what had been depicted as a national consensus, a group of 19 prominent German intellectuals, historians and authors urged the authorities on Wednesday to abandon plans for a gigantic Holocaust memorial in the heart of Berlin.
In an open letter to Chancellor Helmut Kohl and others supporting the project, the group said an "abstract installation of oppressively gigantic proportions on an area the size of a sports stadium" would not create the "place of quiet mourning and remembrance, of warning or enlightenment" that its promoters envisage.
The letter said the memorial should include other groups persecuted by the Nazis, such as Gypsies, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war and the disabled.
And, it said, the memorial seemed an artificial gesture compared with the array of historical monuments in Berlin, such as the nearby "Topography of Terror" museum on the site of the former Gestapo headquarters, the Sachsenhausen concentration camp outside the city and the Wannsee villa where the planning of the Holocaust is thought to have been finalized in January 1942.
The letter was made public only weeks before a decision is scheduled to choose between four designs for the monument.
The monument is to be built at the heart of reunited Berlin, between the old Brandenburg Gate and the high-rises of the Potsdamer Platz, next door to the projected site of a new American Embassy in Berlin.
Since it was first proposed a decade ago, arguments have raged unresolved over its location, its artistic feasibility, its aim and its scope.
But, in recent years, a consensus had built among political parties that the project should go forward, and that the foundation stone should be laid in early 1999.
The letter on Wednesday represented a significant broadside against that view.
Adding to the renewed turmoil, the letter was made public only a few days after city authorities acknowledged that they had discovered a bunker used by Hitler's propaganda chief, Josef Goebbels, abutting the 215,000-square-foot site for the Holocaust memorial. The discovery rekindled debate about whether the proposed location for the Holocaust memorial almost atop Nazi ruins was appropriate.
Signers of the letter included the writer Gunter Grass, the historian Jurgen Kocka, the film director George Tabori and Gyorgy Konrad, the president of the Berlin Academy of Arts.

'No Man's Land' by David Baldacci is action-packed
By Waka Tsunoda
"No Man's Land" (Grand Central Publishing), by David Baldacci
David Baldacci's typical action thriller often features a character in dire emotional straits. This gives the novel dramatic depth and intensity, making it an unforgettable read. It has a strong element of science fiction, is action-packed and thought-provoking.
His latest, "No Man's Land," has two such troubled characters: John Puller and Paul Rogers. Puller is a military investigator whose accomplishments were chronicled in several previous Baldacci novels. He's visiting his father, who is hospitalized with dementia, when two Army officials arrive with devastating news. The Army, they announce, has reopened the 30-year-old case of his mother's disappearance after receiving a letter accusing his father of his wife's murder.
Puller Sr., a legendary three-star general, wasn't a suspect back then because he was believed to have been out of the country. However, new evidence and the letter show that he was at Fort Monroe, Virginia — where the family lived at that time — a few hours before Jackie Puller's disappearance.
Meanwhile, Paul Rogers is on parole in an unnamed town after serving 10 years for killing a man. Rogers, an unnaturally strong man with a mysterious implant in the back of his head, has to constantly fight his impulse to kill. He considers himself the most dangerous animal of all because he has "a human brain to go along with the wild part."
Now, the man has one goal: to return to Fort Monroe, where he once lived, to take care of some "unfinished business." Puller is already there, trying to find out what happened to his mother when he was 8 years old and his Air Force major-brother was 9. Only when he accidentally meets and gets to know Rogers is he able to uncover the horrifying truth behind the family tragedy, a secret the Army has covered up for decades.

El Salvador's world
El Salvador's world-first bitcoin adoption has faced problems.
"Today, El Salvador takes a giant stride forward," he remarked.
According to Bukele, the administration had temporarily disconnected it in order to connect more servers in order to meet demand.
A DROP IN PRICES
Reuters, SAN SALVADOR, Sept 7 – El Salvador scrambled to iron out kinks on Tuesday
after becoming the first country to recognize bitcoin as legal cash, disconnecting the
So digital wallet to deal with demand and lobbying for the government-backed software to be accepted by
big app shops.
The Chivo digital wallet became available on Apple's (AAPL.O) and Huawei's (HWT.UL) app platforms
shortly before midday local time Tuesday, after President Nayib Bukele, who pushed for cryptocurrency
adoption and promised each user $30 in bitcoin, railed against the tech giants for not carrying the app.
On Tuesday, the government purchased 150 bitcoins worth roughly $7 million, and McDonald's (MCD.N)
began accepting the cryptocurrency in its El Salvador locations.
Bukele claims that utilizing bitcoin will save Salvadorans $400 million a year in remittance commissions
while also providing financial services to individuals who do not have a bank account.
Carlos Garcia, who went to a booth in a shopping mall on Tuesday to get guidance on the new currency
and learn how transactions would work, and said he was excited about the possibilities bitcoin may give.
In El Salvador, however, where nearly half of the population has no internet connection and many more
have just sporadic connectivity, the poorest may struggle to get the technology required to make bitcoin
operate.
"With or without bitcoin, I'm going to continue to suffer," said Jose Herrera, a sweets vendor who said he
couldn't use his phone.
Around noon, about a thousand people marched to the Supreme Court building to protest the
deployment of bitcoin, burning a tire, and lighting off fireworks.
Money laundering and financial instability, according to others, maybe aided by the shift.
It has already tainted El Salvador's chances of receiving more than $1 billion in assistance from the
International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Bukele, 40, has a high approval rating in polls but has been accused of undermining democracy, not least
by US President Joe Biden's administration.
Last Monday, senior justices nominated by his legislators declared that he may run for re-election, defying
a constitutional prohibition on repeated terms.
Salvadorans attempting to download the Chivo digital wallet on Tuesday discovered that it was
unavailable on the major app stores.
So The delay, according to Bukele, was caused by Apple Inc., Alphabet's Google (GOOGL.O), and Huawei's
app download systems.
"Let him go! Greetings, @Apple, @Google, and @Huawei "Bukele expressed himself in a tweet that
included a red-faced 'mad' emoji.
Huawei and Apple later made the wallet available.
Requests for a response from Google and Apple were not immediately returned.
Warner Bros. Mistakes Bloodsport for Deadshot
So According to polls, Salvadorans are concerned about the cryptocurrency's volatility, and which can lose
hundreds of dollars in a single day.
El Salvador purchased 400 bitcoins worth roughly $20 million ahead of the debut but according to Bukele,
helping to push the currency's price above $52,000 for the first time since May.
After a few hours, bitcoin had dropped and was the last trading at $47,327.32, down 8.84 percent.
Another cryptocurrency, Ethereum, plummeted 10.52 percent to $3,537.62, while crypto exchange
Coinbase Global (COIN.O) declined 3.96 percent after citing delays in some of its transactions.
Businesses will now be able to accept bitcoin payments alongside the US dollar, and which has been El
Salvador's official currency since 2001 and will continue to be legal tender.
If a firm does not accept bitcoin, it is unclear whether it will be penalized.
So The government installed ATMs in the run-up to the launch that allows bitcoin to be converted into
dollars and withdrawn without commission from the Chivo digital wallet.
"El Salvador's bitcoin procedure, like all innovations, has a learning curve," Bukele wrote in a tweet. "Not
everything can be accomplished in a single day or month."
"We must dismantle the old paradigms. El Salvador has the right to become a first-world country "he penned
Bukele has seized control of nearly all levers of power in less than two years in government. Despite his
So promises to fight corruption, Biden's administration has placed several of his close supporters on a corruption watchlist.
So Analysts are concerned that the adoption of bitcoin, which has transaction records that are dispersed over
the internet and beyond the reach of national jurisdictions could encourage money laundering.
El Salvador's creditworthiness was lowered by Moody's after the bitcoin law was adopted, and its dollar-
denominated bonds were also under pressure.
The World Bank repeated on Tuesday that it would be unable to
