Pakistani musicians Shafqat Amanat Ali, Salman Ahmad saddened by Shashi Kapoor's demise
The Kapoor dynasty has a house in Peshawar, Pakistan. It was constructed between 1918 and 1922 by Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor, the father of Prithviraj Kapoor, the first member of the family to enter the film industry.

Pakistani music artists Shafqat Amanat Ali and Salman Ahmad on Monday condoled the sudden demise of veteran actor-filmmaker Shashi Kapoor, remembering how he believed in peace and harmony among neighbours.
Shashi Kapoor (1938-2017): A star untouched by stardom
Shashi — who earned the epithets of 'the charming man' and 'the brave producer' — died at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai at age 79 after a period of hospitalisation.
"At a loss for words as veteran actor Shashi Kapoor passes away. Spent countless hours watching movies of this legendary and charming actor while growing up. Rest in peace, sir," Ali tweeted.

The younger brother of late Raj and Shammi Kapoor, who were both actors par excellence, Shashi started his tryst with acting at the age of four, with plays directed and produced by his father Prithviraj Kapoor.

Pakistani sufi rock band Junoon's frontman Ahmad also posted: "A very kind man and a great actor. I met Shashi Kapoor in Karachi on the set of the film 'Jinnah'. He was co-starring with Christopher Lee. Shashi always believed in peace and harmony among neighbours. Free at last. (RIP)"

Shashi started acting in films as a child in the late 1940s. His best known performances as child artist were in Aag (1948) and Awara (1951), where he played the younger version of the character played by his elder brother Raj.
He made his debut as a leading man in the 1961 film Dharmputra, and went on to appear in more than 150 Hindi films.
Shashi, whose nuanced acts in memorable films like Deewar, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Trishul and Kabhi Kabhie captivated Hindi film buffs, was married to English theatre actress Jennifer Kendal. He had three children — Kunal, Karan and Sanjana Kapoor.

Armed with swords, knives, and more, it is even better than the best previously-released EVA-01 action figures, springing to life with so much fun you won't be able to put it down. * 'Shogouki' (or simply Eva Unit 01), the mecha piloted by Shinji Ikari is based on the famous Anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. This hyper-poseable 6-inch figure can be put in so many poses, you won't know where to start! * Figure about 6 inch tall Awesomeness!
Great detailing and sculpting. Very good representation of Shinji Ikari's EVA.
Don't buy this figure! You'll want to have all revoltech series if you do! This was the first revoltech I got and now I'm emptying my bank account buying the rest of them. It's perfectly sculpted, it comes with several hands, a second berserk head, a gun, a rifle, a proggressive knife and a sword (I never saw it on the anime). It's perfect in all ways.
I've been a fan of NGE for as long as I can remember, and I won't settle for anything but great quality. The figure itself is great and the joints are easy to move and stay in place. The package comes with extra hands that mate up with what ever weapons you want to equip. It comes with an EVA sized machine gun, pistol, bowie knife, and sword (I guess I'm not aware of Unit 01 ever using a..sword, lol) The construction on the sword isn't as great of quality as the rest of the package, but I won't ever use ..

Q: Need MotionLayout Reference using DataBinding Tree I'm trying to get the reference to my MotionLayout inside a Fragment inside my RecyclerView so that I can attach my addTransitionListener. I've got the listener prepared, but I don't know the valid path to this object.
I've seen many great examples that reference motionLayout vars, but I can't seem to get a valid one using DataBinding methods.
My RecyclerView is inside my Fragment as:
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/shipper_list"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                android:background="@color/mainList"
                tools:listitem="@layout/row_shipper_line"
                />

My MotionLayout is inside my "row_shipper_line" as:
<androidx.constraintlayout.motion.widget.MotionLayout
    android:id="@+id/line_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="60dp"
    android:background="@color/mainList"
    app:layoutDescription="@xml/row_shipper_line_container_scene"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

My binding var is set as:
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(
            inflater,
            R.layout.create_shipper_fragment,
            container,
            false
        )

I've got this code entered and it compiles, but the events aren't called:
rec = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.shipper_list, null)

ml = rec.findViewById(R.id.line_container)

var transitionListener = object : MotionLayout.TransitionListener {

     override fun onTransitionStarted(p0: MotionLayout?, startId: Int, endId: Int) {
                Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionStarted.")
            }

     override fun onTransitionChange(
                p0: MotionLayout?,
                startId: Int,
                endId: Int,
                progress: Float
            ) {
                Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionChange.")
            }

     override fun onTransitionCompleted(p0: MotionLayout?, currentId: Int) {
                Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionCompleted.")
            }

      override fun onTransitionTrigger(
                p0: MotionLayout?,
                triggerId: Int,
                positive: Boolean,
                progress: Float
            ) {
                Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionTrigger.")
            }
        }

 ml.setTransitionListener(transitionListener)

My line swipes LEFT perfectly. I just need to listen for onTransitionComplete.
My binding tree looks like this:
Fragment containing my RecyclerView -> Row Layout containing the MotionLayout tag.
What I'm trying to do is something like this:
binding.shipper_list.line_container

Thank you in advance!

A: I finally found a solution by experimenting. The key is to place the transition listener inside the list adapter class during onBindViewHolder. Again, this is the only solution I've found if you're using DataBinding inside a Fragment. It immediately works. After further consideration, having this handler inside the list adapter class makes far more sense to keep things encapsulated.
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ShipperViewHolder, position: Int) {

    holder.bind(shippers[position])

    var ml = holder.itemView.findViewById<MotionLayout>(R.id.uldMotionLayout)

    var transitionListener = object : MotionLayout.TransitionListener {

        override fun onTransitionStarted(p0: MotionLayout?, startId: Int, endId: Int) {
            Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionStarted.")
        }

        override fun onTransitionChange(
            p0: MotionLayout?,
            startId: Int,
            endId: Int,
            progress: Float
        ) {
            Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionChange.")
        }

        override fun onTransitionCompleted(p0: MotionLayout?, currentId: Int) {
            //viewToVibrate.vibrate()
            Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionCompleted.")
        }

        override fun onTransitionTrigger(
            p0: MotionLayout?,
            triggerId: Int,
            positive: Boolean,
            progress: Float
        ) {
            Log.d("MyApp", "Transition onTransitionTrigger.")
        }
    }

    ml.setTransitionListener(transitionListener)
}

Johannes Schmoller (* 10. August 1607 in Eisenach; † 4. August 1688 in Stuttgart) war Kriegssekretär des Herzogs Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar im Dreißigjährigen Krieg.

Leben
Johannes Schmoller wurde am 10. August 1607 in Eisenach, der damaligen Hauptstadt des Herzogtums Sachsen-Eisenach geboren. Nur ein knappes Jahr vor seiner Geburt vermählte sich sein Vater Johann – ein studierter Rechtswissenschaftler – mit Anna, Tochter des Johann Nödas, welcher dem Sächsischen Rat angehörte und Bürgermeister und Obersteuereinnehmer in Eisenach war. Nachdem die Schmollers 1616 einen großen Teil ihres Besitzes durch eine große Feuersbrunst verloren hatten, siedelten sie in die damalige Universitätsstadt Erfurt um.

Johannes genoss bis in das Jahr 1616 den Unterricht eines Hauslehrers. Er besuchte danach in Erfurt die dortige Lateinschule bis ins Jahr 1623. Zu Ende dieses Jahres wurde er von dem Hof- und Geheimen Regimentsrat zu Eisenach, Johann Ruegger, seinem Taufpaten, ins Haus genommen und damit wieder in seine Geburtsstadt zurück versetzt. Ruegger behielt ihn sieben Jahre als Kanzellisten bei sich und nahm ihn vielfach auf Geschäftsreisen mit. Zuletzt reiste er mit Ruegger nach Leipzig auf den von dem Kurfürsten Johann Georg von Sachsen veranlassten und im Jahr 1631 eröffneten Generalkonvent der evangelischen Stände des Reichs. Dort wurde Schmoller mit Erlaubnis seines Landesherrn, des Herzogs Johann Ernst von Sachsen-Eisenach, von Herzog Bernhard als Kriegskanzellist in Dienst genommen. Er war während seines Dienstes bei Bernhard bei vielen Schlachten und Belagerungen dabei; schon 1631 befand er sich bei der Belagerung und Einnahme von Würzburg durch den schwedischen König Gustav Adolf II., nachher bei der von Mainz und vielen anderen. Am 6. November 1632 folgte er seinem Herrn zur Schlacht bei Lützen und war Augenzeuge der Schlacht zwischen König Gustav Adolf von Schweden und Wallenstein.

Nach der 1634 verlorenen Schlacht in Nördlingen war Schmoller auf der Flucht und verbrannte sämtliche Kanzleiakten, die sonst dem Feinde in die Hände gefallen wären. Anschließend wurde er von Truppen des bayerischen Obergenerals Johann von Werth gefangen genommen und über fünf Wochen lang als Gefangener von Ort zu Ort geschleppt. Als in Durlach der Aufbruch der Armee erfolgen sollte und man im Begriff war, ihn nach München zu schicken, floh er mit dem ebenfalls in bayerische Gefangenschaft geratenen Hauptmann von Trautschwiz. Er gelangte zurück nach Mainz, wo er Herzog Bernhard wieder traf. Dieser händigte ihm sogleich 200 Gulden aus, um sich auszustatten, und erteilte ihm das Prädikat eines Kriegssekretärs. Schmoller geleitete Bernhard in den Jahren 1636 und 1637 nach Paris, nachdem der Herzog 1635 einen Vertrag mit Ludwig XIII. geschlossen hatte. Nach zwei anderen kriegerischen Unternehmungen, denen Schmoller im Jahre 1636 und 1637 beiwohnte, befand er sich im Februar 1638 bei der Schlacht und Einnahme von Rheinfelden.

Nach dem Tode Bernhards 1639 beabsichtigte Schmoller, in seine sächsische Heimat zurückzukehren. Doch die Brüder des gestorbenen Herzogs wiesen ihn an, weiterhin in Breisach zu bleiben und sich den ihm anvertrauten Geschäften zu widmen (Rechnungsführung und ökonomische Besorgungen). In Breisach heiratete Schmoller am 20. April 1640 Anna Magdalena, die älteste Tochter des Johann Konrad Müller – dortiger Magazinverwalter, später württembergischer Rechnungsrat zu Stuttgart. Nach seiner Vermählung wurde Schmoller als Beamter im weimarischen Heer in französischem Dienst angestellt und ihm wurde die Stadtvogtei zu Neuenburg am Rhein nebst dem Kommissariat in angrenzenden Herrschaften übertragen. Nach dem Frieden 1648 wollte Schmoller diesen Dienst quittieren, musste aber noch bis 1650 auf seinem Posten bleiben. Nachdem sein Schwiegervater Müller als Magazinverwalter in Breisach resigniert hatte, wurde ihm zu seinem bisherigen Amt auch noch diese Stellung übertragen.

1650 reiste Schmoller nach Württemberg, weil sein Schwiegervater nun in Stuttgart angestellt war und er Aussicht hatte, dort auch eine Anstellung zu finden. Er wurde durch ein von Herzog Eberhard III. von Württemberg unterschriebenes Dekret vom 26. April 1651 in das Land aufgenommen. Auch wurde ihm das Prädikat eines außerordentlichen Rechenbankrates erteilt. Im Jahre 1655 wurde er, nach dem Tod seines Schwiegervaters, als ordentlicher Rechenbankrat angestellt. Seine Gattin starb am 3. April 1668. Er lebte noch 20 Jahre als Witwer, bat aber bereits im Jahre 1669 um Entlassung von seiner Stelle. Sein ältester Sohnes Johann Bernhard, Kanzlei- und Stadtadvokat in Stuttgart, war nach achtjähriger Ehe bereits 1667 gestorben. Johannes Schmoller starb im Alter von beinahe 81 Jahren am 4. August 1688.

Slip hazards, environmentally friendly products and professional finishes – ALL real issues that need to be addressed when deciding on floor and surface protection.
For four years, Packexe researched and developed a suitable, safe solution for floor and surface protection during building and renovation work.
'28605 major injuries were reported in 2005/06. Over one third were caused by slipping and tripping' (source: UK HSE Statistics 2006).
Slips and trips continue to be a growing concern and with loose plastic sheeting and dust sheets causing major hazards, these contribute to dangerous working conditions, rising insurance claims and customer dissatisfaction.
The dustsheet is bulky, takes time to lay out properly, rucks up and creates slip hazards, scatters dust and debris and, unless you pay for one with a tight weave, can leak spillages on to the surface underneath. Yet people keep on using them because alternatives also have their drawbacks. Plastic and paper are difficult to keep in place and become slippery. More upmarket carpet-style products work well although are expensive and cumbersome.
Time saving, easy to apply, low slip and waterproof, surfaces are protected against damage from spillages, debris and foot traffic. Easy removal after use, leaving no sticky residue, a professional finish is achieved in every situation. The film is fully recyclable and has attained a fire standard making it the leading product in the market.
To compliment the well established Packexe Self-Adhesive Film portfolio, the Packexe Dispenser is a unique new product specifically designed to make the application of protection film quicker and easier. Special consideration was taken when designing the dispenser to ensure that it was strong and durable yet lightweight and compact. Ergonomically suited to any user, the adjustable handle assists in combating back problems that could result from bending over to lay down loose polythene sheets or dust sheets.
Film is applied to the surface at an exceptional speed, as the unique tri-roller mechanism lays the film smoothly in one easy movement to maximise the adhesive grip. When applying to floors, the user pushes the dispenser forwards walking directly on the laid film therefore avoiding having to walk on the clean floor they are protecting.
The Packexe Dispenser is unique in the market, saves time, effort, money and coupled with Packexe Protection Film, is the ultimate temporary solution for floor and surface protection.

Armory Joins Continuous Delivery Foundation as Founding Member
Mar 12, 2019 by Ben Mappen
Spinnaker is rapidly being chosen by enterprises as the open-source software delivery platform used to modernize their application deployments. Today marks a monumental day in the continued growth and adoption of Spinnaker. The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the formation of a new foundation for the diverse continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) space.
The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) will serve as the vendor-neutral home for the most important open source projects for continuous delivery and specifications to expedite the release pipeline process. CDF will foster collaboration between the industry's top developers, end users, and vendors to evangelize CI/CD and DevOps methodologies, define/document best practices, provide guidelines, and create training materials to enable any software development team around the world to implement CI/CD best practices.
What Does this Mean for Spinnaker?
Spinnaker will be one of a handful of inaugural projects — including Jenkins, Jenkins X, and Tekton — to be hosted by the CDF. Until now, Spinnaker was an open source project originally led and governed by Netflix and Google. What the CDF brings to the table is a level of focus, governance and scale that will drive innovation and worldwide adoption of the project.
The CDF is an open source foundation. This means it will have an open governance model that encourages participation and technical contribution and will provide a framework for long-term stewardship and sustainability for CI/CD tools that are part of the foundation. This is great for Spinnaker as it will provide the infrastructure and marketing support required to push Spinnaker to the next level of mainstream adoption.
The Importance of Open Source to Armory
Open source is core to the fabric of what Armory is all about. As such, we believe it's our role as a company focused on the success of an open source project in Spinnaker, to serve as a champion for the Spinnaker community. So we made the decision to join the CDF as a founding member, along with 17 other technology innovators and thought leaders including Alibaba, Capital One, Google, Netflix, Red Hat, and others, with the goal of working with the community to foster the adoption of innovative software delivery practices.
"Spinnaker powers the core of Armory's platform. We have brought Spinnaker into more Global 2,000 enterprise environments than any other company," said DROdio, CEO of Armory. "The formation of the CDF will only accelerate the widespread adoption of Spinnaker across the enterprise and we look forward to our role in the CDF to help make that happen."
Now as an active participant in the CDF and Spinnaker project, we will be able to more effectively partner with other industry leaders and define standards and interfaces for how software is delivered to multi-cloud environments.

Eastern Kentucky University has announced academic honors for its fall 2015 semester.
To earn the Dean's Award, students must achieve dean's list honors at EKU for three semesters, not necessarily consecutive. A lapel pin is presented to students by the dean of their academic college.
One night in the fall before the season started, South Oldham made a list of goals.
Earning the No. 1 seed for the District 29 tournament was one goal. Getting to 20 wins was another.
The Dragons accomplished both within a week, and another goal looms Saturday with arguably its biggest test of the season.
BEDFORD — North Oldham showed a glimpse of what it's capable of doing against a strong Trimble County. The problem is maintaining that display for 32 minutes instead of eight.
A picture-perfect first quarter dwindled slowly for the Lady Mustangs last Friday night as they let a lead slip into a 46-32 loss on the road to wrap up regular season district play.
North Oldham senior Cat Fiorito has etched her name in the record books with even more opportunities still within reach.
Fiorito was honored at the North Oldham boys' basketball game last Thursday night for joining the 1,000 career-points club this season, a feat she accomplished in her career-high 29-point effort against Oldham County on Jan. 15.
North Oldham took first place at the annual Mustang Classic last Saturday. The Mustangs scored 197.5 total points in the field of 19 schools with 12 wrestlers finishing in the top six. Woodford County finished second with 184 points and Oldham County placed third with 179.
Dallas Ochsenbein (120), Collin Portman (220) and Landin Jones (285) won their respective weight classes, with Ochsenbein and Portman earning the Most Oustanding Wrestler of the Tournament honors.
LOUISVILLE — Jacob Karaglonis wanted to try something new when he decided to join North Oldham's swim team this season. As a senior, Karaglonis knew the reputation North Oldham had built in the pool and wanted to contribute to the legacy.
He didn't realize he would enjoy that legacy as much as when he hoisted the Cup, which isn't changing its address.
CRESTWOOD — South Oldham seniors Starr Thompson and Drew Koch signed a National Letter of Intent to continue their respective football careers at Georgetown College on Friday.
Koch finished his senior season with 10 field goals and 47 made extra point attempts. He kicked five field goals in South Oldham's win over Oldham County, which was one shy of the state record for most in a single game.
The KHSAA announced the pairings for the boys' and girls' Sweet Sixteen tournaments Wednesday.
For the girls, the winner of Region 8 will be paired with the winner of Region 10 in the first round of the Sweet 16 tournament scheduled for March 9-13 at BB&T Arena at Northern Kentucky University.
It will be the first year since 2001 that the girls' Sweet Sixteen tournament will not be held at WKU's E.A. Diddle Arena.
I was riding in a car with a younger friend and her pack of teen and pre-teen kids. One of the kids hollered, "Turn up the radio, Mom, I love this song." It was a Christian rock song singing about Jesus.


But there's another argument that's emerging from some of our nation's leading thinkers. Rather than jump on the doomsday bandwagon and whine about how machines will automate all of our jobs away, they're saying that the R2-D2s and Watsons of tomorrow will help us do our jobs better.
As Wired founding executive editor Kevin Kelly put it recently, "You'll be paid in the future based on how well you work with robots." I'm a fan of this argument. After all, would machines that automate repetitive, mundane tasks and free us up to take on more meaningful, thought-provoking work be such terrible news?
To demonstrate how humans and machines might work together in the future, let me borrow an example from Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson's latest book, "The Second Machine Age." The two MIT professors reference Deep Blue, the IBM computer that beat reigning world champion of chess Gary Kasparov in 1997. While the outcome proved that computers will nearly always beat humans at the game, there's no reason for people to give up and burn their chess boards.
In new "freestyle" chess tournaments, competing teams include any combination of humans and computers. Kasparov himself says that hybrid groups beat even the strongest computers. While the machines are insanely good at pattern recognition, human players contribute strategic guidance. This is the kind of combined intelligence that we'll see in our workplaces over the coming years.
It's not as though one day we'll arrive at the office and magically have a robot assistant ready to give us a hand. On the contrary, people will need to develop the skills that enable us to work smarter with the help of machines.
What are the uniquely human skills that machines—at least for now—will have difficulty automating? They're the ones that allow us to ask questions and think creatively. Computers make lousy salespeople, therapists and entrepreneurs, for example.
I may not be a world-renowned chess player, but I see how this winning combination could play out in HR functions. Recruiters often gripe that they can't find the right people to hire. At the same time, smart college graduates struggle to find jobs that use their skills and interests.
Imagine a computer that can mine all the information associated with individuals, whether or not they submitted a resume, and quickly analyze and suggest potential candidates. Hiring managers would spend far less time reading cover letters or browsing LinkedIn. Instead, they'd have more time for meaningful conversations during which they'd use their human intuition to determine the person is a good fit.
In other cases, the transition will be more difficult. Manufacturing, an industry particularly attune to the pressures from automation, will see many line-worker positions eliminated. But for years the sector has reported shortages of skilled labor, for roles like machinists, operators and planners.
In a recent survey of 18-to 24-year olds, manufacturing ranks dead last among industries in which they'd choose to start their careers. Companies will need to work more closely with schools to prove that they're more than mill-worker employers. They need to show exciting opportunities in computer programming, microchip design or 3-D printing, for example, to attract new talent.
Manufacturers also will need to develop their current workforce so that individuals understand how to manage the machines that automate much of the physical tasks they once did. These transitions require investments, but the outcome of smarter, more efficient workers is well worth the costs.
As automation accelerates, the changes it brings will redefine what it means to be human and help us find more meaning in our work. Finding purpose in work is key to bottom-line success: organizations with high levels of engagement report 22 percent higher productivity, according to Gallup. If we race with the machines, as McAfee and Brynjolfsson suggest we should, we'll make our human capital even more valuable.

In search of Hippocrates
Eric Anderson, MD
Come to the Greek island of Kos, where the Western world's first medical school thrived, and time still moves to ancient rhythms.
Text and photos by Eric G. Anderson, MD
Family Physician / San Diego
The sunset at Cape Sounion, on the journey to Kos, is spectacular.
Greece has always been a mystical place for me. It's where arguably the greatest civilization in history began, where democracy first flowered, and where the greatest physician of all time was born, lived, and practiced his craft, on the island of Kos.
Kos, which lies so far east in the Dodecanese chain that its shores are only four miles from the mainland of Turkey, is the Greek island least visited by Americans. But it's such a summertime favorite of Scandinavian, German, and British tourists that a spring or fall visit is advisable if you want to savor the place for what it has to offer.
And what it offers, if you get beyond the new resorts that rise up around the waterfronts of the capital, also called Kos, is fishing villages where the rhythms and flavor are Greek.
We sat in a taverna in the little town of Kardamena, 18 miles southwest of the capital. Our lunch was the typical "peasant salad" of tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, and onions with huge chunks of feta cheese on top, and some honey and yogurt on the side. Even for spring, it was a hot, languid day and no one was in a hurry—especially the waiter. We mentioned that to a Greek companion, who responded with the remark heard all over Europe: "Americans hurry too much."
He pointed out the owner of the taverna, a burly man sitting with friends around a long table in a corner. They were all clutching their ouzo, telling stories, and having a great time.
"I was in this restaurant one night," said our guide, "when an American tourist signaled he wanted his bill. He couldn't get the owner's attention. Finally he went over and said he wanted to pay. The owner replied that he'd come to the man's table in half an hour—he was with friends. The American got angry and said he'd leave without paying if he couldn't have his bill immediately. The owner said, 'That's okay. Go.'
"The American flung some money on the table and stormed out. He didn't understand."
I thought of this the next day at the harbor, where an old fisherman had laid out sponges harvested from the sea. Usually Greeks enjoy haggling—and, of course, being originally Scottish, I like a bargain, too.
He had two qualities of sponges, with brown cardboard signs showing the prices of $1 and $2, oddly enough in US dollars. I picked up a big $2 sponge from the table and said, hopefully, "One dollar?" He slapped my hand—I guess playfully—and said, "You bad boy!"
I came back to the hotel to show my wife the $2 sponge I'd got for $2 and some native-fired china I'd bought at Clarisse's Keramik factory on the outskirts of town.
On the islands, life hasn't changed much since an unknown sculptor created this statue of Hippocrates.
The next day, I drove two-and-a-half miles out of Kos, past chickens and pigs and goats, past honey-colored buildings laden with bougainvillea and gardens spilling with olive trees and oleanders, to the most famous architectural ruins in medical history.
When Hippocrates was born on Kos in 460 BC, the prosperous island was home to 160,000 people. Today, the population is one-sixth that number. Thanks to tourism, however, local residents are regaining some of their affluence.
Astypalaia, the capital in the fifth century BC, lay on the west side of the 28-mile-long island, distant from the eastern sea routes—and the pirates who plied them. This gives some credibility to the theory that Hippocrates taught his students on the west coast of Kos, nowhere near the present capital. According to some historians, the father of medicine never entered the temple of healing, the Asklepieion.
But when the settlements in the western part of the island were destroyed by an earthquake and a subsequent Spartan invasion in 411 BC, the people moved the city to the present location of Kos, to be close to a friendly populace and the Asklepieion itself. Some writers, describing a fire there, relate that Hippocrates tried to save "manuscripts and tables of the temple" and was severely burned, nearly losing his life.
But was the Asklepieion, unearthed in 1902, the same one honored by Hippocrates?
Many archaeologists believe so. That's good enough for physicians who know, as they wander in the Asklepieion, that they're walking in the footsteps of Hippocrates himself. This ancient center of healing spreads across wooded groves on the lower slopes of Mount Oromedon. That the grove was sacred in earlier times adds to the belief that Hippocrates practiced here, even though his teachings and writings were the antithesis of the "incubation" ceremonies, miracle cures, and other religious rituals of ancient Greece's temple priests.
Roman conquerors partook of the mythology surrounding Hippocrates.
They built the temple of Apollo at Asklepios.
The area is laid out in three terraces. The view from the upper level carries the eye over tall cypress trees to the green fields and cobbled streets of Kos, to the harbor and the 14th-century battlements of the Knights of St. John and—beyond the turquoise sea—to the coastline of Turkey itself.
In contrast to many archaeological sites, this one is easy to understand. The lower terrace was the entrance and arena for special events. It contained health spas, bathhouses, and fountains spouting water from nearby springs.
The water of one fountain is rich in sulfur. Says a local guide, Christa Mee, "Whatever effect the water was intended to produce upon . . . invalids, it is perhaps no coincidence that . . . a sumptuous latrine was constructed in the vicinity."
The middle terrace, 30 steps up, contains the foundation of the altar of Asklepios; built between 350 and 330 BC, it's the earliest symbolic structure left on the hillside. On the right, to the west side of the altar, is the Temple of Asklepios, constructed in the third century BC to house gifts the sick brought their priest-physicians. To the east is another temple, constructed by the Romans and dedicated to Apollo.
Sixty more marble steps bring visitors to the foundation of the huge temple of the upper terrace, built in the second century BC with 104 Doric columns around its 340-foot perimeter.
The Knights of St. John chose to use parts of the Asklepieion for fortification against the Ottoman Turks. Little of value remains.
There are more than 300 centers in the ancient world named for Asklepios, but none as famous as this. You sit on the upper terrace, imagining what Hippocrates' students must have felt sitting at his feet, here and under a great plane tree in the center of town.
A functioning windmill on Kos blends ancient and modern forms.
A similar conviction is necessary at the other end of the ruined agora. But when you walk into the Greek Archaeological Museum on the island of Kos, you nearly step on one of its treasures, a mosaic floor transferred from a Roman villa in the ancient part of town. The mosaic shows Asklepios, the god of healing, arriving on the shores of Kos and being welcomed by an islander and by Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Created in the third century AD, about 600 years after the death of Hippocrates, it remains one of the few illustrations of medicine's founder.
Beyond the Roman courtyard is another significant image for an American doctor: a statue from the fourth century BC—identified by Italian architects when a 1933 earthquake exposed what had been an arena, the Odeon. The statue stands in an apse at the end of a hallway. Bathed in deep green light, it seems to stare into the distance. The sun streaming in through the overhead window highlights this link to medicine's heritage—the image of Hippocrates himself.
A recent best-seller in Greece talks about health and alternative medicine, popular subjects even for defenders of the present medical establishment. According to a spokesman in the Office of Public and Trade Relations of the Greek National Tourist Organization in New York, "the book is as current and significant today as it was more than 2400 years ago."
The book, rewritten in a contemporary voice, is called All About Medicine. Its author is a Greek physician named Hippocrates.

Conygar agrees deal with Claremont
Claremont Interior Solutions, part of Claremont Group Interiors, has acquired a two-storey 7,800 sq ft office building in Birchwood to expand its serviced office portfolio.
Claremont made its first move into the serviced office market in 2006 with the launch of The Breeze, a 6,500 sq ft office and meeting space within its main head office building, also in Birchwood.
The new building, renamed The Breeze at Carnoustie House, is located close to the first Breeze in Kelvin Close. There will be three meeting rooms and a range of flexible office suites for four people and above. Refurbishment work is schedule to start in August ready for tenant occupation in mid September.
Mike Gardner, director of Claremont Interior Solutions said: "We've always been keen to replicate our success with the Breeze, assuming we could find the right premises within Birchwood. Carnoustie House gives us the optimum square footage for our second venture and is close to our head office, which will allow for much more effective management of the new serviced space."
Claremont Interior Solutions has taken the long leasehold of Carnoustie House from Conygar Investment Company for an undisclosed price.
BE Group advised Claremont on the deal; Steve Widdowson of Magnus acted for Conygar Investment Company.

What Truck Wastes the Most Gas?
If you're wondering what kind of vehicle wastes the most gas, you should know that pickup trucks are often the worst culprits. These low-tech vehicles use more fuel than cars do and are less fuel efficient than sports cars. But it's also important to know that pickup trucks are also practical, and they can be more fuel-efficient than luxury vehicles.
NRCan's ratings take into account differences between models, including fuel-saving technologies and off-road trims. For example, some trucks are only available with a four-cylinder engine while others have a turbocharged engine. The best way to determine what truck wastes the most gas is to see what engine it has. You can also look for the EnerGuide label for model-specific fuel information.
What Truck Has the Lowest Gas Mileage?
What Truck Had the Best Gas Mileage?
What are the Worst Trucks to Buy?
What Car Gets 70 MPG?
Why Do 4WD Trucks Get Worse Gas Mileage?
Do Trucks Use a Lot of Gas?
When it comes to gas mileage, hybrid trucks and light-diesel trucks are the clear leaders. However, the downside is that they often sacrifice towing and payload capabilities. In addition, they tend to cost more than conventional gasoline trucks. Buyers should calculate how much they'll save on gas before making a final purchase. This savings will depend on the size of the truck, how often it's driven, and the price of gasoline.
To save money, consider buying an older truck. While they may not be as fuel-efficient as their modern counterparts, they still offer an open cargo bed and competitive payload and towing ratings. Some of these models even get over 40 mpg. If you don't need a full-sized truck, consider a midsize or full-sized truck that offers excellent mileage.
If you're in the market for a used truck, you might want to look at the Honda Ridgeline. This truck has an unibody construction, 19 city/26 highway mpg, and a price that's affordable.
If you're looking for a truck that'll get you the best gas mileage, the Chevrolet Colorado might be the answer. Its rear-wheel-drive version features a 2.5-liter engine with 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for great fuel efficiency. This truck gets an estimated 22 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
READ ALSO: How to Do a Logbook For Truck Drivers?
While there are several factors that determine a truck's fuel mileage, it's important to choose a truck that delivers a good combination of performance and efficiency. The Ford F-150 is among the most fuel-efficient trucks on the market with a V-8 engine. This truck gets a combined 19 mpg, which is better than any other truck in its class. It also has the lowest starting MSRP in the truck segment.
Another truck with excellent gas mileage is the Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma, a midsize pickup, gets a combined fuel mileage rating of 25 mpg. Its price is only around $18,000.
Full-sized pickup trucks are a popular choice for American consumers. Buying a fully-built American truck is a matter of pride for many buyers. American automakers have been making full-sized trucks for decades. In recent years, full-size trucks have seen a variety of redesigns and innovations. Some models have leapfrogged the competition, while others have fallen behind.
The 2014 Chevy Silverado was very popular with consumers, garnering numerous awards and critical acclaim. However, a significant issue plagued this truck model. Its paint began to peel. While a new coat of paint will fix this problem, the results are temporary. Not only is it expensive, but the fix will not last. Furthermore, the vehicle also had problems with the A/C system.
Another bad mid-size truck is the Toyota Tundra. The Tundra was considered a joke pickup truck when it first came out in the 2000s. It was underpowered and lacked the performance to compete with its rivals. It continued to decline in quality in subsequent years and is now considered one of the worst Toyota trucks.
There are a few things to consider before purchasing a new car. The most important thing is to look for an efficient vehicle with an overall mpg of at least forty. In addition, fuel-efficient cars should have an acceleration time less than eleven seconds. This is possible with today's technology. However, you should also be aware that the faster you go, the more fuel efficiency you will lose. This is why it is important to stick to the speed limit and use cruise control when driving.
READ ALSO: How Much Does It Cost to Build a Sema Truck?
Fortunately, there are a few ways to increase fuel efficiency in your car. One way to increase your MPG is to use a four-cylinder engine. This engine offers better fuel efficiency than a six-cylinder engine. This is because four-cylinder engines are smaller and lighter than six-cylinder engines. You can also install stamped metal pieces in the inlet manifold to increase your MPG.
Four-wheel-drive trucks are more fuel-hungry than two-wheel-drive vehicles, which can be problematic for the fuel economy of a vehicle. The reason for this is that four-wheel-drive systems add anywhere from 350 to 500 lbs to the vehicle's mass. This weight is a direct result of the size of the drivetrain components and the additional torque required to move the car. Additionally, the additional weight of the 4WD system creates more internal resistance that results in increased fuel consumption.
In addition to the added weight, four-wheel-drive vehicles typically use larger tires and beefier components. Bigger tires and engines use more fuel than two-wheel-drive vehicles. Using two-wheel-drive vehicles to get around town is a better choice for gas-saving purposes. Even so, it is still not a bad idea to have an all-wheel-drive vehicle if you regularly go off-road or in snowy regions.
The difference in gas mileage between two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive trucks depends on their design. A four-wheel-drive truck has four wheels that always receive power and torque. This system also allows it to rotate at different speeds, so the torque is sent to the wheels with the most traction. This system is most commonly used in passenger cars and light sport utility vehicles.

You may not realize it, but trucks use more fuel than your average passenger car does. According to the Department of Energy, heavy-duty trucks burn 0.8 gallons of fuel for every hour they sit idle. This is an enormous waste of fuel, as truck drivers often leave their vehicles running in idling mode for hours on end. The cost of idle fuel adds up fast.
The amount of gas that a truck uses is affected by a number of factors, including the type of truck and how it is driven. Drivers who travel on the highway will use less gas than drivers who travel on city streets. Gas prices also vary from place to place, and at different times of the day. So, when calculating how much gas your truck uses, be sure to factor in about 50% of the price of a full tank of gas.
The reason pickup trucks use more gas than cars is due to aerodynamic drag. As a truck travels through the air, aerodynamic drag increases exponentially. This means that the engine needs to work harder to overcome the increased resistance. Moreover, the weight of a pickup truck also adds to fuel consumption.

You've Qualified Sales Leads, Now What?
In the world of traditional selling, when a lead came in, it was usually a cue for a sales rep to proceed by giving a product demo, quoting pricing, or some other overly aggressive, outbound tactic.
In the world of inbound selling, the approach is a bit different. When you apply inbound marketing to your sales process (i.e. inbound selling), you engage with leads differently. But trust us, it's for the better.
Here's how sales leaders should use inbound marketing assets to engage with their qualified sales leads.
You've made it through Phase 1: attracting prospects to your website through inbound marketing assets like blogs, videos, etc. This part of the sales process is heavily marketing-related. Marketing creates these assets and distributes them in places where target prospects can find them. Then, when the right prospects do find them and engage with them, they are captured as a Marketing Qualified Lead. These MQLs have proven they are ready to be handed to Sales based on their engagement with Marketing materials. It is then Sales' job to determine if they are a Sales Qualified Lead.
SQLs require a great deal of nurturing. Traditionally, that "nurturing" would be in the form of repeated phone calls, aggressive sales demos, etc. Thankfully, those days are behind us!
All of these assets make up the content marketing strategy and can be used for different lifecycle stages. For example, a MQL most likely wouldn't receive a Case Study because they are just uncovering their problem. Case Studies are reserved for bottom of the funnel sales offers—when SQLs are more sales-ready. A Case Study is considered a bottom of the funnel offer because it gives evidence of other client's success with your business. This is only useful for leads that are sales-ready.
In order for Sales to compete today, they have to get on board with Marketing and use the tools that inbound marketing efforts create. It's a new way to sell—inbound selling. Educate, engage, and excite prospects through inbound selling to convert them to customers.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL "W113 Pagoda"
10K Club Member
hasskabal
The 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through 23 February 1971, when the W 113 was replaced by the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350 SL. Over the years, the W 113 evolved from a sports car into a comfortable grand tourer, and US models were by then usually equipped with the 4-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. Manual transmission models came with the standard 4-speed or the optional ZF 5-speed, which was ordered only 882 times and thus is a highly sought-after original option today. In Europe, manual transmissions without air conditioning were still the predominant choice. Of the 23,885 280 SLs produced, more than half were sold in the US.
The main change was an upgrade to the 2,778 cc (2.8 L) M130 engine with 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) maximum power and 180 lb⋅ft (244 N⋅
maximum torque, which finally gave the W 113 adequate power. The performance improvement was achieved by increasing bore by 4.5 mm (0.2 in), which stretched the limits of the M180 block, and required pairwise cylinder casts without cooling water passages. This mandated an oil-cooler, which was fitted vertically next to the radiator. Each engine was now bench-tested for two hours prior to being fitted, so their power specification was guaranteed at last.
The M130 marked the final evolution of Mercedes-Benz' venerable SOHC M180 inline-six, before it was superseded by the entirely new DOHC M110 inline-six introduced with R107 1974 European 280 SL models. For some time, it was also used in the W 109 300 S-Class, where it retired the expensive 3 liter M189 alloy inline-six.

Guest Post – Finding Inspiration by Irene Wittig
May 21, 2021 histficchickie Leave a comment
By Irene Wittig
World War II and the Nazis have been with me all my life, coloring all my memories, affecting my interpretation of politics and world events, and influencing my choices of movies to see and books to read. It was bound to inspire my writing. But it took time. I started writing because I fell in love with the hand painted ceramics I saw in Italy when I lived there. I set out to learn how to do it, and was eager to share that knowledge. So I wrote THE CLAY CANVAS, CREATIVE PAINTING ON FUNCTIONAL CERAMICS, and many magazine articles. I so enjoyed the painting and the writing, that I illustrated and wrote the alliterative AN AMUSING ALPHABET for pre-schoolers, based on designs I'd originally developed on ceramics.
But the Nazi era was never far from my mind. It had exploded my family, killing some, throwing others from their home in Vienna to Italy (where I was born), New York, France, Argentina, and Uruguay. My early childhood was spent changing countries and languages until we too arrived in New York into a world of displaced Europeans, many
of them Viennese. Unlike many immigrants who'd come to America seeking a better life, they had come because they'd been forced to leave lives they'd loved merely because they were Jewish, or half-Jewish, or married to Jews. Even as the years passed by, the past was never past. Anger, grief and longing rippled out from one generation to another. Finally I was ready to write about Vienna. Unexpectedly, I found myself writing about what life might have been for someone who had stayed. And so it was that my novel ALL THAT LINGERS was born.
Now that I felt like a writer, I couldn't stop, so I wrote and published a few short stories with a twist called SHORT TALES AND RUMINATIONS, and have just launched my new novel THE BEST THING ABOUT BENNETT, which was partially inspired by experiences
my husband and I had in Uganda.
Inspiration can come from a world-changing event, or something small and seemingly unimportant—a dream, a conversation heard on a train, an unexpected visitor. In doing research for ALL THAT LINGERS, I collected videos and recordings, articles and photographs that I thought would interest readers and put them all on my website:

Hitler and Mussolini's "Option" Left the Tyroleans with Nothing – by Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger
October 8, 2020 histficchickie Leave a comment
After WWI and ratification of the Versailles treaty, Italy, as a European ally, was ceded the portion of Tyrol south of Brenner Pass. As part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the population was German speaking and had been part of an autonomous province for some one hundred years, meaning they had controlled their laws, government, and all aspects of their society. The allies stipulated that the German speaking population should have their rights, language, culture, and religion protected and that they should be able to participate in governing their own territory.
The idea of self-determination introduced by Woodrow Wilson in 1918 legitimized their quest for protection of their ethnicity and language. Yet, the peace of Paris of 1919 denied the South Tyroleans the right to self-determination and incorporated the German-speaking territory of the South Tyrol into Italy. The Allies and Austria recognized that "the Italian Government intended to pursue a liberal policy toward its new subjects of German nationality regarding their language, culture, and economic interest.[1]
During the first years of South Tyrolean integration into Italy, both Italian authorities and South Tyrolean representatives tried to find an appropriate solution for the future settlement of what was now—as part of Italy—a German-speaking minority. Yet, a movement called the irredenta, or the unredeemed, insisted that this area should have always belonged to Italy, and were determined to crush any sense of Tyrolean culture. When Benito Mussolini and his Fascist party took over in 1922, the South Tyroleans faced a different treatment by the Italian authorities. Fascism threatened not only to suppress the language of the German-speaking minority in the north, but also began to uproot the cultural identity of that area.[2]
The first and major aim was to Italianize the public language of the area, to Italianize all public inscriptions, town names, street names, and eventually family names and even inscriptions on tombstones.
[1] Eva Pfanzelter, The South Tyrol and the Principle of Self Determination: An Analysis of a Minority Problem, p33
[2]. Eva Pfanzelter, The South Tyrol and the Principle of Self Determination: An Analysis of a Minority Problem, p33
They provided "relief organizations," which would aid in further penetrating the German speaking communities: free schoolbooks, meals and holidays by the sea for children who joined their youth organizations, jobs for those adults who joined the workers association and established trade connections for the companies who collaborated with the Fascist economic organizations. For those who did not comply, there was major harassment, despotic laws that even regulated their pets and personal belongings.
"Majoritarianism" was the attempt by the Italian government to generate an Italian majority in the South Tyrol. In Bolzano, they built a new industrial complex, and apartment buildings for Italian factory workers. In other cities the government financed the construction of hydroelectric power plants which flooded lands and villages. The government started purchasing land from South Tyrolean bankrupted farmers and provided minor compensation for land destroyed by the flooding. The South Tyroleans had little chance to resist the dictatorial measures.
Although open confrontation with the Italian regime was rare, the South Tyroleans managed to withstand most of the Italianization efforts. They could not prevent the Italianization of the names of their villages and streets, but they prevented the Italianization of their children by speaking their German dialect at home and by teaching them written German in their illegal, secret schools. Organizations and associations that the Italian regime had not forbidden found ways to bypass the official orders. The marching bands renamed songs the fascists had prohibited. The traditional Austrian "Under the Double Eagle" became the "Eagle March" and the march "Vienna Always Remains Vienna" turned into "Wine Always Remains Wine. Also, due to secret financial help from German relief funds during the economic crisis, many South Tyroleans did not have to face bankruptcy.[3]
[3] Eva Pfanzelter, The South Tyrol and the Principle of Self Determination: An Analysis of a Minority Problem, p 39
The idea of Volkssturm found its most radical realization in Hitler's ideology. The new resistance group consisted mostly of young people. For them Germany, and especially Nazi-Germany, was the example of unprecedented economic rise and a reflection of the modern age. Between 1928 and 1939 various resistance groups formed in the province to fight the fascist Italian regime and its policy of suppressing the German language.
Yet, no matter how intense the South Tyroleans' effort to conform with national socialistic ideals was, Hitler had different intentions; he claimed that Germany's only possible option was to assure Italy that the South Tyrolean problem did not exist. Despite Hitler's public renunciation of South Tyrol and despite the development of the German-Italian friendship, the South Tyroleans' continued to hope for integration with Nazi-Germany. For them Hitler's foreign policy was an indication that his remarks on South Tyrol were tactically necessary steps[4]
During Hitler's visit in Rome in May 1938, Mussolini confessed, "The past developments have shown, that this tribe cannot be assimilated," therefore he promised that he would make some concessions to the German-speaking minority in the north as long as Hitler guaranteed the pacification of the area. By now, both Germany and Italy were interested in settling this question once and for all.[5]
June 23, 1939 the two dictatorial regimes decided to move the German-speaking South Tyroleans to German territory in the north and leave South Tyrol with Italy. The two governments gave the South Tyroleans the option either to emigrate to Germany or to remain in South Tyrol and become "good Italians." At first, the South Tyroleans' reactions were a fierce rejection of Hitler's offer to "come home into the Reich." But soon the Nazi-oriented VKS (Völkisher Kampfring Südtirols, or the South Tyrolean People's Freedom Party) succeeded in convincing their fellow countrymen that the South Tyroleans' resettlement in Germany was a necessary "sacrifice."[6]
The propaganda that evolved on both sides during the months following the June discussions, eventually divided the German-speaking South Tyroleans population into two hostile camps, those remaining and those who opted for Germany.
85%-90% of the population opted for emigration; and were called Optanten. Those who chose to stay, called Dableiber, or the Leavers and Stayers. The Dableiber were condemned as traitors while the Optanten were defamed as Nazis. The Option destroyed many families and the development of the economy of the province was set back for many years. The first families left their homeland in 1939, and by 1943 a total of around 75,000 South Tyroleans had emigrated, of which 50,000 returned after the war.
The era of the Options, however, had opened a deep gap among the German speaking population of the South Tyrol. Those remaining were in the minority and were repeatedly exposed to persecution from those who had opted to migrate. They were treated like betrayers of their country, their nationality, their blood, and their neighborhood. Friedl Volgger, who became an influential politician, had opted to stay in the South Tyrol and ended up in the concentration camp Dachau. He explained: "What the Jews were in the German Reich, were now part of the South Tyroleans in the eyes of their fanatical compatriots. The hatred between the two groups did not know any confines. Children left their parents, neighbors burned their neighbors' houses, priests fought each other from the pulpit. In 1943 when Hitler's troops finally marched into the South Tyrol the situation of those who had opted to remain became even worse. [7]
Seventy-three years after having their autonomy stolen from them, the German-speaking minority in the north of Italy succeeded in securing the ethnic, cultural, social, economic, and political uniqueness of their homeland. Today, the South Tyroleans are among the best protected minorities in Europe. They determine their own political future and administer their province by themselves.

PILOTS AND DWI: THE FAA AND LEGAL MALPRACTICE: HOW TO PROTECT TWO LICENSES AT THE SAME TIME: YOURS AND YOUR CLIENT'S
By J. Gary Trichter and Christian Samuelson
Let's talk about pilots and DWI as well as the FAA and legal malpractice. So, you are a big time DWI/DUI lawyer and it is your lucky day! Your secretary tells you that a civil attorney friend has referred a commercial pilot neighbor of his and that he is now on the telephone and wants to schedule an appointment. Of course, hearing the potential for a large fee, you stop what you were doing and take the call.
Pilots and DWI: A Case Study
Captain Lucky Lindy, a 15-year major airline pilot with 15,000 flight hours and who is also a United States Air Force Reserve Flight Officer of 19 years, tells you that 16 days ago he was not so lucky as he was arrested for drunk driving by a member of the local constabulary. He apologizes for not coming in sooner, but he had been on a weeklong round trip flight out of the country and had to immediately report for military reserve duty upon his return.
Unlucky Lindy then informs you that he refused the Intoxiliar breath test and that he is very concerned that this incident might cause him to be forced into early retirement. The client's high level of stress is clearly manifested in his voice and by the fact that he continually asks for assurances that he is not going to lose his lifetime investment in his aviation career. Reassuring him that he will be all right and that he is in the best of hands, you schedule an afternoon appointment for him.
FAA Reporting Requirements
Not being a pilot or a person with any real aviation experience, you call a local flight school to ask what is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reporting requirement for DWI/DUI. A young certified flight instructor (CFI) first tells you that there are three types of pilot medical certificates:
a first class that is good for six months
a second class that is good for 12 months, and
a third class that is good for twenty-four months.
He further explains that all pilots must have a current medical certificate in order to be legal to fly. The CFI then said the only requirement that he knew about concerning a DWI/DUI conviction was that it be admitted in the space provided for it on the medical certificate application form. Feeling somewhat better informed, you thank the youngster, say goodbye, and wait for your new client to arrive.
The FAA First Class Medical Certificate
At your office interview later that day, Lindy tells you that his FAA First Class Medical Certificate will expire in two weeks and then requests your advice as to whether or not he needs to report his arrest to the feds. Not knowing about the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's), you tell him not to worry, that you will do some research into the matter, and have an answer for him soon.
During the interview, you properly and thoroughly explain that his case is very defendable, that a DWI/DUI first offense, if there is a conviction, could theoretically result in a sentence of jail, a fine, both jail and a fine, and a driver's license suspension of up to one year.
You further inform him that as a consequence of his breath test refusal and because he missed the 15-day period after his arrest to request an administrative hearing, he will lose his driver's license for 90 days. The good news, however, is that he is eligible for an occupational license and that it is almost a sure thing the court will grant him one during the 3 month suspension period.
Pilots and DWI: "How will this affect my flying?"
Unlucky Lindy again revisits the questions with you as to "how will all this affect my flying?" and "do I have to report this to the FAA at this time or later?" Exactly how you answer this question will make a big difference to your legal malpractice carrier, if you have one, and to your retirement account if you do not have coverage. More importantly, it will make all the professional and emotional difference in the world to your pilot client
The New Medical Certificate Needs to Include Everything
Remembering the CFI's quick tutorial, you inform the client that it is your opinion the medical certificate form only requires the reporting of "convictions" so there is no need to make reference of the arrest on the form when he applies for a new medical certificate. Fortunately, for you, that information is correct. You then say that it is your opinion that the FAA need not be notified at all unless there is a conviction. Oops! The force field around your retirement account just got weaker. You misadvised your client.
The source of your error can be found in Section 61.15 of the FAR's. It provides:
OFFENSES INVOLVING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
(c) For the purposes of …this section, a motor vehicle action means:
(1) A conviction after November 29, 1990, for the violation of any Federal or State statute relating to the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or a drug, while impaired by alcohol or a drug, or while under the influence of alcohol or a drug;
(2) The cancellation, suspension or revocation of a license to operate a motor vehicle after November 29, 1990, for a cause related to the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or a drug, or while under the influence of alcohol or a drug (emphasis added);
(d) Except for a motor vehicle action that results from the same incident or arises out of the same factual circumstances, a motor vehicle action occurring within three years of a previous motor vehicle action is grounds for:
(1) Suspension or revocation of any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this part.
(e) Each person holding a certificate issued under this part shall provide a written report of each motor vehicle action to the FAA, Civil Action Security Division (AMC-700), P.O. Box 25810, Oklahoma City, OK 73125, not later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action. The report must include:
(1) The person's name, address, date of birth, and airman certificate number;
(2) The type violation that resulted in the conviction or the administrative action;
(3) The date of the conviction or administrative action;
(4) The State that holds the record of the conviction or administrative action; and
(5) A statement of whether the motor vehicle action resulted from the same incident or arose out of the same factual circumstances related to a previously reported motor vehicle action.
(f) Failure to comply with paragraph (e) of this section is grounds for:
Bad Advice Could Result in Your Pilot's License Being Revoked
Your incorrect advice could cause client Lindy to have his pilot's license suspended or revoked if he does not notify the FAA Civil Aviation Security Division not later than 60 days after his driver's license goes into suspension for refusing to submit to the Intoxiliar test. Of course, should Lindy lose his pilot's license then he most likely would lose his job, too, and you will inevitably get sued!
Pilots and DWI and FAA Logic Aren't Predictable
Lets change the facts a bit so that Unlucky Lindy comes to you and says he simply wants to plead guilty, get probation, and get this unfortunate episode behind him. He then asks "will it be sufficient to report my plea and conviction by affirmatively noting them on my medical certificate application?" If you are inclined to think that it is logical to assume the answer is "yes" because your client is actually notifying the FAA of his conviction by admitting it on the form, then you should be happy to know it is indeed a logical conclusion. Regrettably, however, like the rest of the government, the FAA does not always think, act or promulgate its rules logically.
The FAA and a Major Airline Captain: A Story About Bureaucracy
If you don't like that answer, then consider the bureaucratic nightmare that befell a major airline captain in 1991. In May the pilot was arrested for drunk driving. Days after the arrest, feeling very concerned about his career and about following the rules, he actually called the local FAA office (Flight Standards District Office, a/k/a "FSDO") to ask about the affect the DUI/DWI would have on his pilot's license. The FSDO, being helpful, only reminded him that it would be necessary to report the conviction, if one happened, on his medical application form when he reapplied for it the next month in June.
Not wishing to contest the DUI/DWI, the captain pled guilty on June 10. Within two weeks, during the completion of his medical application form, the captain in answer to question "21v" checked "yes" and self disclosed the conviction. Notwithstanding the fact that he did not make further reference to the conviction on the form, he did explain and further disclose the events giving rise to the conviction to the FAA Medical Examiner Physician. The doctor, ostensibly believing the captain fit for flying, issued him a new medical certificate.
On the first of October, the FAA's Aeromedical Branch, following routine procedures, requested the captain to furnish further details of the conviction. The information was promptly furnished to the satisfaction of the branch.
Then comes the bureaucratic nightmare. The FAA popped the captain for a twenty day suspension for violating FAR 61.15 because he did not specifically notify the Civil Aviation Security Division in Oklahoma City within the sixty days as called for by the rule. "Wow!" you say? Well, so said the captain too! "Unreasonable!" you say. Well, you must be clairvoyant because that is exactly what the dumfounded captain also said.
Does the word "appeal" come to mind? It did to the captain and he appealed to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) saying in effect that because he had no intent to deceive and that he had in fact reported his conviction to the FAA, although not to the security division because he was unaware of the rule, it was unreasonable to find a violation and suspend him. "Wow!", said the judge agreeing with the pilot. "Unreasonable!", said the judge again agreeing with the pilot. Indeed, after hearing the evidence the judge not only found that there was "substantial compliance" with the rule, but also, he dismissed the case against the pilot.
Does the word "appeal" come to mind again? It did to the FAA and it appealed to the full 5 member NTSB Board. "Wow!" said the Board. "Reversed" said the Board, and they reinstated the record of the conviction albeit without the suspension. The Board went on to say that "[a]s a general rule, airmen are expected and obliged to know the regulations to which they are subject, and ignorance of them is no defense. The reporting requirement regulation was in effect at the time of the [captain's conviction] and its language is absolutely clear". (emphasis added) "Ouch!" said the captain. "Ouch!" screamed the legal malpractice carriers!
Be Careful When It Comes to Pilots and DWI
The above examples ought to make you very careful in representing pilots in drunk driving prosecutions and/or administrative driver's license proceedings that are collateral to the drunk driving case. Clearly, the effect of either a failure to report or even a properly filed report are quite consequential for the pilot Clearly, too, if that effect was brought about by ignorance and improper advice of counsel then, it too, has serious consequences for the lawyer.
Unquestionably, FAR 61.15 is a landmine just waiting to get stepped on by the innocent pilot/client and the unwary lawyer. One would think if the self-disclosure requirement were that important to the FAA that it would have created a form for reporting the required information just as it did on the medical certificate application. That, however, is not the case because there is no preprinted form.
What You MUST Report to the FAA
To summarize, the pilot/client who is convicted of DUI/DWI must report that conviction on his medical application. He must also notify the FAA Civil Security Division in Oklahoma City within 60 days of the conviction. Contacting the local FAA FSDO is not compliance under the rule. The pilot/client must also report any action taken on his driver's license that emanated from the drunk driving arrest, i.e., a suspension for either failing the breath/blood test or for refusing a breath/blood test. This report, too, is made to the FAA Oklahoma Office Civil Security Division and must be made within 60 days of the suspension. In cases where the pilot/client suffers both a DUI/DWI conviction as well as an administrative license suspension that arose out of the same factual circumstances, he must timely report both of them to the Security Division or face a non-reporting violation. Note, however, that only one of the two reports can be used for suspension/revocation purposes under FAR 61.15 (d), i.e., the FAA needs 2 separate incidents within a 3 year period to deny an application or suspend/revoke a pilot license.
Playing lawyers for the moment, arguably the reporting requirement for both a conviction and/or a suspension for refusing and/or failing a breath/blood test is in our opinion stayed for as long as the conviction and/or suspension are on appeal. There is no law on this question as of yet but the 60 day clock on appeals we have handled have been treated by the FAA as starting when the appellate process was over and there were actual final court orders in affect.
Playing lawyers again, from a strategy viewpoint, in many jurisdictions it may be advantageous in defendable DUI/DWI prosecutions where the pilot/client plans on contesting the charge to always appeal the loss of an administrative driver's license revocation/suspension hearing. This is true because in many jurisdictions, the license is suspension is rescinded as a matter of law where the criminal case ends with a verdict of "not guilty". Clearly, this strategy will prevent you and your client from having to deal with the FAA on the issue of record correction and/or expungement. Said another way, it is a lot easier to not ring the bell in the first instance than it would be to unring it after the fact.
Lets stroll through the minefield with two more examples before we put this topic to rest.
EXAMPLE 1): HOW ABOUT WHERE THE PILOT/CLIENT IS ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING, REFUSES THE INTOXILIAR TEST, DUI/DWI CHARGES ARE FILED BUT SUBSEQUENTLY DISMISSED FOR INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, HOWEVER, HE STILL SUFFERS A DRIVER'S LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR THE BREATH TEST REFUSAL. LOOKING AT FAR 61.15(C) (2), THE QUESTION BECOMES DOES THE NOT SO CLEAR LANGUAGE:
"…for a cause related to the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated…"
(emphasis added) excuse such a pilot from the self reporting requirement because there was not sufficient evidence of "while intoxicated" to warrant a continued drunk driving prosecution?
Applying the NTSB logic about "language [that] is absolutely clear" from our first example, a reasonable pilot and/or reader should clearly interpret the "while intoxicated" language of FAR 61.15 (c) (2) to mean what it says, i.e., that there must be sufficient evidence that the driver was intoxicated to require him to notify the Civil Aviation Security Division. Requiring that a statute, rule, regulation or law be interpreted in light of the clear meaning of its words makes good sense to us. Indeed, that has been a judicial and legislative rule of construction for quite some time now. Moreover, one would also think that a reasonable pilot and /or reader could rely on the doctrine of "stare decisis". Remember, this is the doctrine that requires consistency so that "we the people" can rely on precedent in order for us to be "expected and obliged to know the regulations to which [we] are subject…"
Regrettably, there is no guarantee in life that either the FAA or the NTSB will act logically, reasonably, sensibly, on the clear meaning of a FAR, or on precedent. Such was the hard 120 day pilot's license suspension lesson learned by an Ohio commercial pilot who had been stopped for erratic driving and subsequently refused to submit to a breath test. In that case the pilot was neither arrested nor charged with drunk driving but did suffer a one-year driver's license suspension.
This case turned on the FAA's and NTSB's interpretation of FAR 61.15 (d)'s language "motor vehicle action". On the rationale side of the controversy was the pilot who argued that a breath test refusal is not proof of alcohol or drug involvement. Indeed, the definition of "motor vehicle action" requires that the suspension be "for a cause related to the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or a drug, while impaired by alcohol or a drug, or while under the influence of alcohol or a drug (emphasis added)." In this regard, it is of import to note that the suspension was not for being intoxicated, but rather, only for refusing the requested test. Of course on the flip side of the controversy was the FAA which claimed in a conclusory and wholesale fashion, that a breath test refusal fit within the broad meaning of "motor vehicle action" under section 61.15. In a decision that runs afoul with reason and plain language, the NTSB simply deferred to the FAA and rubber-stamped its definition. So much for fairness, uniformity and "stare decisis".
EXAMPLE 2): OUR FINAL EXAMPLE INVOLVES THE SCENARIO WHERE THE PILOT/CLIENT, ALTHOUGH ORIGINALLY CHARGED WITH DUI/DWI, IS ALLOWED TO PLEAD TO A LESSER OR NEW NONINTOXICATION/ NONIMPAIRMENT/NONINFLUENCE CHARGE SUCH AS RECKLESS DRIVING AND THE ORIGINAL CHARGE IS DISMISSED, OR, WHERE THE DUI/DWI PROSECUTION RESOLVES ITSELF WITH A PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION, DEFERRED ADJUDICATION, OR PROBATION BEFORE JUDGEMENT, I.E., THERE IS NO FINAL CONVICTION.
The question here is: "whether or not FAR 61.15 requires self reporting of cases that are resolved without alcohol, drugs, intoxication, impairment, influence or that do not involve a final conviction?" The short answer, at least for now, is "no!"
The Devil is in the Details
So what does all this mean to the lawyer who represents the client/pilot who is accused of DUI/DWI? It means you need to be real careful to protect your pilot and yourself from collateral dangers that abound to the client because he is subject to a different and additional set of rules than the non-client/pilot due to his winged status. It means that not only do you need to go out and get a copy of the current FARs, but also, that you need to read and understand them. Review of NTSB decisions are also a must! Don't get trapped! Read and don't hesitate to ask others more knowledgeable for help or advice. A great place to start is the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
It has a pilot assistance hotline for members at 1-800-USA-AOPA (1-800-872-2572) and a web site at: www.aoap.org
In closing, those of us who have been lucky enough to represent pilots know that they are some of the greatest clients and nicest friends around. Remember, protecting a pilot's license is protecting your own law license. Avoid the FAA pitfalls. Don't crash and burn.

Understanding as Being: Heidegger and Mamardashvili

Part of the Analecta Husserliana book series (ANHU, volume 103)
The paper deals with the concept of thinking that Heidegger and Mamardashvili promoted to encourage and sustain questioning of being by abstaining to use language forms that did not contain the voice of being. Heidegger and Mamardashvili lived in the 20th century separated by cultural, social and political divides of their time, entangled into ideological struggles in their countries, keeping loyalty and allegiance to their principles of authenticity in the turbid world of mass obsessions and rampage of totalitarian ideologies. They both were very sensitive to calcified forms of rationality that functioned in the modern society contributing to build-up of inauthenticity that both men diagnosed and tried to remedy.

Bagpiper hails completion of latest step of youth centre project
Katy Sandalls
There have been celebrations from the rooftops in Woodbridge as a massive community project took its next step.
The £3.5million Jetty Lane project has been working for the past few years to bring a new youth centre and arts project to Woodbridge.
The project began back in 2017 when the existing youth centre was taken down due to safety concerns.
Since then a small group have been working to bring a new space which will provide spaces for a number of community groups from across the town as well as studios and other working spaces.
While fundraising work continues to bring about the main building, those behind the project have been looking at other ways to help their community.
Back in July, two converted shipping containers were donated to the project by Eric Reynolds, chairman of Save Britain's Heritage and trustee of the National Maritime Museum.
The containers had previously been used at London's Jubilee Pier.
Since then, Woodbridge builder Tony Farrell and his team have been working to refurbish the containers so they can be put back into community use.
The buildings have been fully renovated with heating and electricity now connected up.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed working on this project for Jetty Lane," said Mr Farrell.
"We all like the fact that it's for a charity and is something by and for the community.
"We're glad to have helped bring this part to fruition."

To mark the completion of the work a member of Mr Farrell's team, Scott Davidson, who is also a talented musician, played the bagpipes on top of the containers.
Cordelia Richman, project manager for Jetty Lane said it was a real step forward for the site.
"It's been an empty space for the last few years but this is something visible," said Ms Richman.
"We have very exciting plans Lots of people walk past that area and there will be lots to look at."
The project will now be looking to keep moving towards its goal te despite the difficulties posed to fundraising as a result of the pandemic.
"All the funding bodies have diverted their funds to people dealing with the virus," said Ms Richman.
"So we are strengthening things behind the scenes and are still hoping to move forward."
