An eyewitness has given a first-hand account of yesterday's near tragedy involving Augusta AW139 helicopter conveying Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, and ten others in Kabba area of Kogi State.
Mr. Dare Olayemi, an aide to All Progressive Congress Kogi West senatorial candidate, Senator Smart Adeyemi, was at the scene with his principal. They were both at the field where the helicopter crash landed to receive Osinbajo, who was in the state for the Tradermoni scheme.
Olayemi told The Nation that first to arrive, was a helicopter occupied by the Vice President's advanced party. However, about 30 minutes later that of Osinbajo was sighted in the air and about the time it was landing trouble erupted.
"My leader, Senator Adeyemi, and several others were in a Coaster bus when we suddenly realised that the pilot had lost control.
"Were it not for God's timely intervention and the pilot's reaction, our bus would have become a trap in a stadium built by Senator Adeyemi for his people a few years ago.
"The surging crowd made it difficult for the bus to move and when the helicopter crash landed, losing one side, some of us rushed to help but other than the VP, I can't recognise faces of the others in the helicopter," he told the paper.

Facebook Casts a Wider Advertising Net
by Zoe O
Facebook has recently announced a change to its advertising policy, which may see the network reach wider than ever.
Advertisements on Facebook will now be visible to not only those who use the social networking site, but also to third-party apps and websites. This will apply to anyone who has ever visited the website, not just those who are logged in to their accounts.
For those who wish to opt out, ad preferences can be tailored to avoid seeing ads on external sites. Further information is available in the company press release (bit.ly/24aO3G7)
Like many other companies, Facebook collects data from its 1.6 billion users via cookies, which then informs the targeting of marketing. Advertising is a substantial revenue stream for the company, with mobile ad sales representing 80 percent of its income in the first quarter. The marketing portion of the business is likely to continue to grow, with the corporation also finding new ways to encourage the use of video advertising.

Q: Google Slides API with Django Shell Per the example at https://developers.google.com/slides/quickstart/python, I tried:
$ python manage.py shell --settings=myapp.settings-test

In [1]: from apiclient.discovery import build
   ...: from httplib2 import Http
   ...: from oauth2client import file, client, tools

   ...: flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
   ...: store = file.Storage('credentials.json')
   ...: creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
   ...:

manage.py: error: unrecognized arguments: shell --settings=myapp.settings-dev
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

Is there a different way to set up Google Slides from within the django shell? Or what can I do differently to make it work?
I see that someone had a similar question here but I was unable to draw inspiration from it.

A: Settings and then using flags like below did the trick
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
flags = tools.argparser.parse_args(args=[])
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)

H/t to the answer here

1965: Art Modell Makes a Playoff Push
Before he was the most hated man in Cleveland, he built a dynastic football program.
Before Art Modell was Cleveland's public enemy number one, he was the owner and architect of one of the best teams in football. In 1961, Modell purchased the Browns for $4 million. Three years later (and after a well-publicized rift with legendary coach Paul Brown), Modell's Browns were at the top of the mountain, winning the NFL Championship 27-0 against the Baltimore Colts on Dec. 27, 1964.
A year later, Modell and the Browns once again were on the cusp of history. With Jim Brown, Frank Ryan and Gary Collins lighting up defenses across the league, the Browns finished the regular season 11-3.
In this undated photo, Modell holds court at a late-December practice in 1965. After clinching the Eastern Conference title at the beginning of December, the Browns rested most of their starters in the their last two games — a 42-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and a 27-24 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Even with well-rested starters, the Browns lost 23-12 to the Green Bay Packers in the final NFL Championship. The Browns failed to recapture their magic in 1966, going 9-5 due in large part to the sudden retirement of Jim Brown. Modell owned the Browns until 1995, when he abruptly announced he'd be moving the team to Baltimore, a decision that forever condemned him in Cleveland. Modell, who owned the Ravens until 2004, died in 2012 in Baltimore

Discussion in 'Retro Video Games' started by FAKK2, Mar 31, 2002.
Since people are actually starting to read my tutorial here is a nice new fresh update to version 0.4!
Just a minor note for anyone reading this doc... in one place it says the first byte of the protection code should be changed to 4E75, but in all of the examples 4F75 is used. I'm about 99% sure that 4E75 is the correct value, but I haven't tried this yet.
would you have other documentation for cracker the games of the kind last blade 2?
The link still works for me. To crack more advanced protections (what other games have these? I've heard of KOF '99, Real Bout 2, and Last Blade 2, but I think patches exist for all of them) you'd probably need to learn 68000 assembly language and find out where the CD interface registers are on NGCD (e.g. by tracing the BIOS calls for loading files from CD), then look for code that does strange things with them (i.e. instead of calling the BIOS).
for KOF 99 is it good I have find the ace but for several games neo cd me serious galley if someone is able to help me?
Yo!! Krisman......email me and ask your friends to better decipher your english for you and if I can figure out what you want I can help you out!!! PLUS tell me where you got your kof 99 game origonally, and what home system are you playing it on!!! Those 2 info are Extremely important!!
I have a neo cdz and I downloaded on internet an iso and mp3.
is it necessary to put the same thing always for all the games to protect by the same protection?
@ss0 but your english is worse than SNK's!!
Haha thats funny because in the games and the instruction manuals I used to always be like what the heck is goin on ?.... oh well the games fun .
Whats that magician lord ?
Is it supposerd to be underground passage of terror ?
yup thats Magician Lord......Your power is powerless in our presence...hehehe you are very dangerous...be dead down here! LOL aagin changes to hell! what a great game!! To this day, they should have made part 2. 600+ MEGS!! now that would be awesome....confusing...but awesome...VICTOLY!!

Are you guilty of sending inappropriate emails?
A staggering 92.6 per cent of Brits think there are certain things you should never do over a work email, with the sending of inappropriate content, kisses and not addressing people correctly, taking the lead.
That's according to the latest data from independent job board, CV-Library.
With email communication seemingly taking over face-to-face interaction (17.1 per cent admitted to receiving up to 80 emails each working day), the study explored the views of 1,100 UK workers around emails in the workplace.
In addition to this, it appears that a more formal approach to emails is favoured by UK workers, with 38.9 per cent stating that they'd open an email with 'Dear [Name]' and 41.8 per cent would close the email with 'Kind Regards'. Following this, 30.2 per cent would open with 'Hi [Name]' and close with 'Regards' (16.8 per cent).
"It's no secret that sending inappropriate content over email is a no-go in the workplace," says Lee Biggins, founder and managing director of CV-Library.
"That said, it's interesting to hear that other small common occurrences are bugging UK workers, not to mention the fact that the majority appear to be take a more formal approach with their communications.
"It's always important to remember that the workplace is a professional environment, and while interaction through technology is increasingly becoming more and more instant, the traditional rules still apply.

Q: Javascript Cannot close the window which script has created using window.open I am working on a script which opens a window with a url and then closes it using window.close(), but then Firefox gives error Scripts may not close windows that were opened by script.
However in my case, the window is really created by the script, so I tried to get the handle of the window in a variable like this:
var popup = window.open(url, '', '');
but now I am getting null reference in popup variable.
this is insane, because if it returns null then how can a script close the popup which it has opened.
Please help... Thanks in advance.

A Century of Art Thefts
Posted on May 5, 2016	by babbityjean
An immense artistic heritage valued around 5 billion euros is irretrievably lost every year. It is the profitable black market of art. The most sought after masterpieces are those of Picasso and Van Gogh, but the most famous thefts are those of the Mona Lisa and the Scream by Munch. Unfortunately, there are too many police forces that are not coordinated at an international level. And there are still many museums that are not equipped with effective security systems.
There is one positive note. Since 1969 Italy has had one of the best investigative units to counter art theft. It is entrusted to a branch of the Carabinieri for the protection of Italy's cultural heritage. But today new international alarms come from countries violated by Isis, with the looting of their artistic heritage, which disappears into thin air, and then is sold by fencers to ravenous western collectors.
Here is a review of some of the famous art thefts of the last century. The 1900s opens with the most famous theft (see post of 12 November 2015). La Gioconda (Mona Lisa) of Leonardo da Vinci was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 by a former employee. The thief was Vincenzo Perrugia, an Italian patriot who mistakenly thought that Napoleon had stolen it from Italy. Peruggia entered the Louvre during the day, hid in a broom closet, and left at night with the Mona Lisa hidden under his overcoat. He kept it in a suitcase under his bed in a Paris apartment. His mistake was to try to sell it to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence two years later.
According to Thomas D. Bazley, author of "Crimes of the Art World," 90% of stolen art work is never recovered, and this fact assumes enormous proportions if you think of the artistic heritage robbed during the Second World War. During the Nazi occupation, Italy was robbed of such a huge amount of art that is difficult to quantify both in numbers and economic value. Toward the end of the war negotiations began with Germany for restitution, with the Americans as brokers, who after September 1943 formed a special force to catalogue the assets stolen from Italy.
A big question is what happened to the paintings preserved by the Italian embassy in Berlin, which disappeared on the arrival of the Russians in the spring of 1945, together with so many other art works stolen from Italy on the direct orders of Hermann Goering. The most striking case is that of two ships of the Roman emperor Caligula: Recovered by the Fascist regime with the hulls miraculously intact at the beginning of the '30s from a small lake, they were placed in a museum specifically constructed for them. They were burned by the Nazis 3 days before the Allies entered Rome.
Systematic looting ended after the war, but museums and private collectors continued to be robbed of their treasures. In 1961 the "Portrait of the Duke of Wellington" by the Spaniard, Francesco Goya, was stolen from the National Gallery of London, which had just acquired it. In 1965 the thief turned himself in. He was an older man who had managed to enter the museum thanks to a simple ladder forgotten by workers at a nearby construction site.
The most burning case, at least in Italy, remains that of the "Nativity" by Caravaggio, stolen at night in October 1969 from the Oratory of the Church of San Lorenzo in Palermo, Sicily, and never recovered. Among the paths followed by the investigators was that of the Mafia, which could have used the painting as a bargaining chip with various institutions. The most probable theory is that it was destroyed, perhaps buried in the countryside of Palermo or burned by the Mafia, or even exchanged with the Camorra and then tragically disappeared in the earthquake of 1980 in Irpinia.
In the '70s, two masterpieces of French impressionism were stolen in London: One was a still life, "Fruit on the table with a Little Puppy" by Paul Gaughuin and "Woman with 2 Armchairs" by Pierre Bonnard. The paintings were stolen from a wealthy English couple living in London. After the theft, the canvases took an unpredictable path and remained in an Italian railway wagon coming from Paris. In the end, they were bought by a Fiat worker at auction for the ridiculous amount of 45,000 lire.
In 1975 another incredible theft took place at the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino. Thieves stole "Madonna di Senigallia" and the "Flagellazione di Cristo" by Piero della Francesca. Fortunately, the works were retrieved by the Carabinieri a year later in Locarno. Also in 1975, in the Modern Art Gallery in Milan 28 paintings were stolen, including those of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gaughuuin, Renoir and Corot.
The following year opens with an incredible theft from Florence's Stibbert Museum: Carted off were 11 works of Tiepolo, Botticelli, Paul Brill, Neri di Bicci and other great artists. And it wasn't only paintings: in Saint Louis in 1978 3 statues of Auguste Rodin were stolen. And in 1983 art thieves managed to haul away from the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest 7 masterpieces of the Italian renaissance. The works would fortunately be recovered in an abandoned Greek convent.
One of the most famous art thefts in the United States was at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. Two fake police officers came into the museum without any difficulty and hauled away paintings of Vermeer, Rembrandt, Manet, and Degas for a value between 400 and 500 million dollars. They have never been recovered.
Besides Picasso and Van Gogh, another painter targeted by criminals tied to the art world is Edvard Munch, and in particular his "Scream." Stolen the first time in February of 1994, it was recovered 3 months later. The thieves had left a note that said, "thanks for the lax security." The second theft, in 2004, was in true Hollywood style, with robbers armed to the teeth who entered the Oslo museum full of visitors. Again this time, after a few years, the work was recovered.
In 1998 it's Rome's turn, where at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, "Il giardiniere" and "L'Arlésienne" of Vincent Van Gogh were stolen. Some masked men tied up the night guards and escaped undisturbed after having taken the 2 Van Gogh canvases together with a Cezanne as shown on the security system's camera. The Carabinieri resolved the case 2 months later, arresting 8 people, among which was the insider—a guard at the museum.
In December of 2000 at the National Museum of Sweden in Stockholm were stolen a self-portrait by Rembrandt and 2 Renoir paintings—"Giovane parigina" and "Il gardiniere," valued at about $30 million. The theft was completed in a few minutes by 3 armed men that burst into the museum at closing time. "Il gardiniere" would be subsequently recovered by the police, while the other two, despite not being saleable, were never recovered.
On New Year's evening of 2000, a Cezanne painting, "Auvers-sur-Oise" was stolen from the Ashmolean Museum in the university city of Oxford, England. Its value was estimated at around 3.5 million euros. The thieves climbed onto the roof from the neighboring Department of the History of Art and from the skylight of the Ashmolean went down through the roof and removed the painting from the wall.
Then another Van Gogh targeted: in 2002 from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam "The Reformed Church di Nuenen" and "View from the Beach of Scheveningen" were stolen. These paintings belong to the first Dutch period of the painter and have a value so high that it is impossible to calculate, even though $100 million has been suggested. In 1991 20 canvases of Van Gogh had been stolen from the Amsterdam museum dedicated to the artist, among which was a version of the famous "Sunflowers." Fortunately, the works were recovered a few hours later, in an abandoned car.
More shrewd were the thieves who in 2003 stole a Leonardo work, "Madonna dei Fusi," blending in with the tourists at the Castle of Drumlanrig of the Duke of Buccleuch in Scotland. For 4 years police searched for it all over the world. In 2007 it was found in a law office in Glasgow, hanging in plain sight as if nothing had happened.
In 2008 from the Buehrle Museum in Zurich, 4 impressionist paintings of Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Cezanne were stolen, in what is considered one of the hits best organized in the history of art theft. And in 2012 it is the turn of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, where 5 priceless works were stolen, including paintings of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
The last art crime in order of time is the theft from the Castelvecchio Museum of Verona in November of 2015 (see post of January 21, 2016): 17 paintings were stolen by a professional gang, probably on commission. Among the artists were Tintoretto, Peter Paul Rubens, Mantegna, Pisanello and Bellini. The real value of the marvelous works can't be calculated.
UPDATE: An unbelievable turning point in the investigation of the "hit of the century" in Verona. In March of 2016, 12 men were arrested—2 Italians and 10 of Maldavian nationality. Among the men was the "insider"—the guard on duty at the Castelvecchio the night of the robbery. At this time the art has not yet been recovered by it is believed to be held somewhere in Moldavia (a principality between Romania and the Ukraine).

I started with meditation out of the hopes for increased focus and the ability to get more done. While the internet is the ever present distraction but even more then that when I look back is the rampant emotions that take over what I'm trying to do. Being distracted starts with the emotional state, not doing something other then what your doing. So if I'm not happy I look for something to distract myself.
2. Turning everything into generosity, into giving away everything to everyone else.
I like the moment because in practicing it, I am building up my attention and focus to stay with my work. My ability to finish anything was lost. It felt like I was being overcome with ADD. So I plunged into meditating trying to get into the moment. If I'm sanding a wall, the strokes of sanding up and down are just like breathing, washing dishes, each dish is just to be washed. Doing the wash is just taking the clothes out of the hamper, into the laundry basket, into the washing machine, fold them after the dryer and repeat. It's just work that you can pay attention to like you can pay attention to your breath.
While David Allen and getting things done is a great system what it doesn't have is a way to practice staying on task. Keeping your mind clear if you make a list is a great start but what about all the stories your mind makes up? Meditation by training you to acknowledge the little emotional stories that spring up endlessly in our heads, those stories are just "thinking" and then come back to paying attention to the task. it's practice for life, that's what meditation is. Allen uses lists to keep his mind clear for all the things he needs to do. But for me I can spring up a thousand stories in my head that can set me spinning without having anything to do about them. And since half of them are built off of the past I can't change them, the other half from the future who knows?
Of course, I'm still pissed at that bully who took my candy in fifth grade. And sometimes those bullies just sit and take over my life. I know it's just a thought and the lessons say drop the thoughts and be in the present moment but the thoughts have taken me over.
And that is where the generosity come in because when you see that everyone has bullies in their life, when you take in the bullies of everyone into your heart and you send out healing thoughts to them you can break the bullies in a way that isn't possible in any other way. But what do you do when you don't want to be generous and just want to be selfish?

Q. 2-under par 70, is that a fair reflection of how you played?
SHANE LOWRY: Could have been a little better, but I was going out there trying to make a few birdies and made a couple of bad errors because of that.
Yeah, it's pretty average, a bit like my week, really.
Q. This week, there's a lot more attention on you guys, maybe more demands on your time but is it overall an enjoyable week for you?
SHANE LOWRY: You know, I'd be lying if I said it was a very enjoyable week, and that's no disrespect to anyone. It's a tougher week than I normally get. You know, it's weird because I love playing in front of the Irish people, but I try my best and I try probably too hard to do well for them and for myself and for my family that's here.
You know, it's such a tough week that I find it hard to find it enjoyable, if you can somehow get what I mean there. I'll look back on it, and I played some good golf this week. I just let it get to me for nine holes yesterday and that was the big downfall of my whole week was sort of nine holes yesterday, and I wish I could go back and play those again but unfortunately I can't.
Q. Do you find it suffocating?
SHANE LOWRY: I wouldn't say suffocating, because I'm very lucky to do what I do, very lucky to be here playing The Irish Open, and I've actually won the tournament, as well, so I'm very lucky to have that under my belt. It's my own fault for letting it get to me.
I said at the start of the week, I was going to try and be better, but the harder you try, the harder it is.
Q. Is it a case where you feel you want it too much and you want to play well too much?
SHANE LOWRY: That's exactly it. I said on Wednesday, I'd give anything to have a chance here today. After yesterday afternoon, I didn't, so yeah, trying too hard and wanting it too much, I suppose, is the reason I'm in the here, or is the reason I'm here finished at one o'clock on Sunday.
Q. Give us your assessment of your Irish Open this year?
SHANE LOWRY: I think average is just a good word for it I think. My golf was okay in parts but the week as a whole was pretty average and average finish.
Q. How do you approach now the next couple weeks coming up?
SHANE LOWRY: I've got a week off now. I've played a lot of golf over the last few months and I have a lot of golf over the next couple of months, as well. I really need a week off, I think. I don't think if I went and played in Scotland this week that I would be in the right frame of mind to play in The Open Championship. Just try and relax as much as I can this week and get ready for next week.
Q. Do you think your game's pretty close and possibly come Open time, things might click for you?
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, there's a couple parts of my game that need to sharpen up. I just need to try to work on those the next week or so and try to get ready for Carnoustie.
Q. Up-and-down week, two rounds where you were pretty happy, two rounds where it just slipped away, but your own assessment?
SHANE LOWRY: I think the week as a whole, average is a good word to use, if you look at where I finish, it's pretty average for me I feel, especially around here. I felt like I could have done something this week.
But look, I tried my best. Got in my own way at times, but what can I do.
Q. When you say you get in your own way, do you find some sort of diagnosis for that? Because clearly if you get out of your way, we know how your game flows.
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, it's hard. You're out there and I'm trying so hard to do well and possibly trying too hard, and I'm wanting it too much. I just -- I don't know, it's so hard. Like I find this week quite difficult and quite draining to be honest and I'm looking forward to a few days off.
Q. You've got two big weeks to come. Where do you feel your game is at? There's a lot of very good stuff in there. How do you let it flow?
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, I mean, my putter left me for nine or ten holes yesterday and somehow got it back today. I think there's certain parts of my game that really need to sharpen up before Carnoustie because we all know how hard Carnoustie is, so I just need to go away now for the next week or so and try to get them better than they were this week and see what sort of game I bring to Carnoustie and try and do my best there.
Q. What makes The Irish Open particularly difficult for you?
SHANE LOWRY: I think wanting it too much is probably the biggest thing. The crowds out there almost want it too much for you, as well. It's hard. I just find it difficult. I don't know why. People at home might look at me and think I'm mad for saying that but that's the way it is. I find it difficult. I find I put too much pressure on myself. I said at the start of the week I wasn't going to but yesterday afternoon, I still did.
Another Irish Open down and hopefully I'll learn a little bit from this one. But haven't seemed to learn from the last five or six. We'll see.
Q. Two weeks away from a major and you won't play Scotland next week. What will you do next week?
SHANE LOWRY: To be honest, even though it's a week off, I have a pretty busy week. I have a couple of corporate things to do. Try and get as much practise in as I can and try and rest as much as I can and relax as much as I can and get ready for Carnoustie.
Q. You must be looking forward to Carnoustie, a course that could very well soot your game?
SHANE LOWRY: Yeah, you definitely need your B Plus or A Game going to Carnoustie. I've shot some good scores around there but that's in the Dunhill Links and I believe it's a different animal when you get to The Open Championship. Just be interested to see what it plays like. I'm looking forward to it but I'm really looking forward to a few days off first.

A-dZiko Simba Reaches for Yaddo
Tanya Batson-Savage | Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
A-dZiko Simba
Jamaican Writers
writing residency
The space to write is one of the most coveted treasures of all writers so A-dZiko Simba is looking forward to what may be the trip of a lifetime this summer. Simba is a poet, storyteller, scriptwriter and later this year will add novelist to that list. She has been accepted into the prestigious Yaddo Corporation Artists' Retreat where she will spend a six-week residency. However, to get there she will be collaborating with a slate of local poets to raise funds to support her during the residency.
The event, dubbed Yo! Yaddo! Word! will take place at Redbones the Blues Cafe on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 starting at 8:00pm. Joining her on the microphone will be reggae poet Cherry Natural, percussionist and poet M'Bala, and poets Mel Cooke and Damali, which suggest the makings of a strong night of poetry.
The event attracts a cover charge of $1000 and attendees receive a copy of Simba's poetry CD Crazy Lady Days.
Simba confesses that the significance of attending a residency at Yaddo did not come home until after she was accepted.
"I knew it was a good place to go to and I applied because being allowed all that time and space to just write is so rare and precious," she said. "It was after I go in and looked at the list of former residents that I was amazed."
In attending Yaddo, located in Saratoga Springs, New York, Simba will be in the historic company of some literary greats. Among the early visitors to Yaddo were James Baldwin, Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, Langston Hughes, Sylvia Plath and Mario Puzo. Simba explains that one of the elements she looks forward to most is the collaborations which are possible as Yaddo accepts artists in multiple disciplines including filmmakers, choreographers and performance artists.
"I really look forward to the possibilities for collaboration. I read a lot with M'Bala, a fabulous musician and visual artist, and that has been so rewarding. As Yaddo hosts artists from all all disciplines, who knows what I will encounter and what creativity it will spark?" she said.
A-dZiko Simba is an internationally published and award winning writer Her debut novel, All Over Again will be published by Blouse and Skirt Books this year. She has written for BBC television (the sitcom 'The Real McKoy'), Jamaican radio and co-authored five stage plays. Her poetry has been anthologised in So Much Things to Say: 100 Calabash Poets and Jubilation!. A-dZiko's prose fiction has appeared in the short story collection Iron Balloons.
"It is all poetry but there is sure to be variety," A-dZiko said, encouraging all to come to Redbones next Wednesday.

I am trying and apparently struggling to get a connector setup for my new POS system to send receipts. I have a new custom receive connector and it is scoped for the devices. I have tried anonymous, I have tried using credentials. When the program tries to send a receipt I see below. I do need to be able to send to internal recipients and external.
Make sure to read the entire article and pay attention to STEP 2 Powershell Commands.
I saw your post on this elsewhere. I tried these settings on a new connector, scoped to the range I need, and the log still shows the same entries as above.
Are you setting the program's authentication or anything? The program should just have hostname for mail, and port 25 (or whatever port you made for listening). No auth, no SSL, no anything.
I did have TLS checked and credentials in there. I now unchecked it and took out the credentials. Will test. Thanks.
Well it is working after reviewing the settings as you posted and then stripping out all auth and unchecking TLS. Thanks!

Israel Policy Forum Condemns Storming of the Capitol and President Trump's Incitement
By Israel Policy Forum
Earlier today, the United States experienced the first disruption of the peaceful transfer of power in its history, when an armed seditious mob stormed the Capitol at President Trump's behest, with the aim of preventing elected Members of Congress from certifying the presidential vote in the Electoral College. We unreservedly and wholly condemn this. We live in a democratic republic where the rule of law reigns supreme, and there is no possible justification for insurrection aimed at preventing Congress – our first branch of government under the Constitution – from performing its constitutional duties. We condemn President Trump for inciting this brazen invasion of the citadel of our democracy, and we condemn all who encouraged it, cheered it on, and participated in one of the darkest and most shameful moments in the history of this country. We look forward to the peaceful transfer of power to President Biden on January 20, not as partisans but as patriotic Americans who value our democratic law and traditions, and we trust that all those involved in the disgraceful events that struck at the heart and symbol of American democracy will be held to account.
Israel Policy Forum
Israel Policy Forum was founded in 1993 to build support in the American Jewish community and in Washington for the diplomatic vision of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.


Here are some dating tips for you to consider.
How Many Free Dating Websites Should You Join?
The answer is as many as you can keep track of, after all, they are FREE!
Think of it this way. You are here because you are trying to meet someone special. Unlike any other time in history, you can now be in more than one place at once. The more dating sites that you join, the more exposure you will give yourself and the more likely you are to find someone special.
The first thing that you need to do is create an interesting profile. A natural photo of you with some friends is a good place to start. Showing yourself in your natural environment also shows what kind of people you are comfortable socializing with.
Guys: Try and keep your shirt on… This is LotsOfish, so beaches and swimming pool photos are rather clever. Many men have used photos of scuba trips or fishing trips as well. On the other hand photos of you in front of the computer with your shirt off in a dimly lit room give the appearance of creepy cybersex desperation. If you must post a photo of yourself with your shirt off, try to make it an outdoor scene and you will have much better luck with the amount of responses that you will get.
Ladies: You would probably get lots of responses if you used a profile photo with your shirts off. This is frowned upon here however as there are very specific laws as to what you can actually have in a profile photo. What you can do is use a current photograph. Be comfortable with who you are and post a recent photo. If you do find that someone special you want them to already have accepted you for who you really are when it comes to looks.

Paul Gayten: "Back Trackin'"
DELUXE 3177; JULY, 1948
Though he couldn't have known it at the time, this was the ideal title for a song which Paul Gayten would revisit twice.
It's also a perfect way to look into the working mind of an artist as he navigates a still uncertain musical terrain, while his own future – and rock 'n' roll's for that matter – is still largely up in the air.
But while his ultimate destination at this juncture was still not set in stone, we can see that once he made the decision to push all of his chips into the center of the table and make his bones as a rocker, he'd be dealing from a position of strength.
It's worth remembering just what the environment was when this was recorded. Of all of those who were joining this ragtag movement Paul Gayten was one of the few who'd had verifiable success prior to rock's emergence in mid-1947.
He had scored right out of the starter's block months earlier with a pop song called True and then matched that achievement when he backed his group's female vocalist, Annie Laurie, on a pop-styled hit of her own at the same time.
These feats – though seemingly well outside of our focus as rock enthusiasts – had far-reaching benefits for rock 'n' roll itself, starting with the fact that those records commercial returns helped to establish DeLuxe Records as a viable independent record company. In turn it gave the labels owners, David and Jules Braun out of New Jersey, a pipeline to New Orleans where Gayten was from and where these records did so well. That led, somewhat indirectly, at least in the sense Gayten himself wasn't involved, to DeLuxe signing Roy Brown in July 1947 and recording the song that would launch rock 'n' roll when released in September.
You might think that would put Gayten in a bit of a defensive position, for while his recent hits were indeed bigger sellers than Brown's Good Rocking Tonight, at least initially, it was a different story when it came to local clamor for what Brown had laid down.
For those in New Orleans who were hip to the cultural changes brewing Roy Brown had offered up a musical manifesto for the sound of tomorrow which suddenly made anything else, no matter how popular, seem old hat. For Gayten who was poised to be the next big star in the Crescent City just a few months earlier his time at the top of the musical pecking order now seemed in jeopardy.
But rather than feel threatened by this new challenger – one recording for the same label no less! – Gayten was more intrigued by the opportunities Brown had presented. Let's not forget that he himself had presaged a lot of the musical innovations that Brown brought to light, with Your Hands Ain't Clean had adorned the B-side of Gayten's hit from the spring and was about as close as you could get to calling anything from that gestation period rock 'n' roll.
So while both he and Laurie continued to release pop-sides to satisfy those who'd given them their initial success, Paul Gayten began to explore rock in earnest as soon as he went back into the studios that fall.
Thus far the results have been very promising – if often very quirky – and Back Trackin' is no exception in either of those assessments.
The Wrong Track
One of the self-imposed requirements for this project which attempts to review music more than a half century old is to not look ahead much, if at all, when critiquing each record's strengths and weaknesses.
That's easier said than done of course because what came next is usually widely known. We can't help but be aware of what routes rock music traveled and what excess baggage they discarded along the way and knowing this gives us insight that consumers, producers and artists of the time were oblivious to. But it's imperative that you not use the standards that followed to assess the results, you have to judge things in the context of their own time. By treating the era being reviewed as if it were the present you keep the future at arm's length.
But it's another thing entirely when you're confronted with a record in 1948 that would be re-cut by the same artist a year later, in the process shoring up its weaknesses, tightening the arrangement and adding components to give it a much fuller sound.
When THAT version becomes the one that is far more easily available ever since its release, and in fact oftentimes is never even referred to as being a remake to begin with, then uncovering the truth and finding out this earlier take on it was what was first heard puts you in a quandary… namely, how to pretend the updated version we know much better doesn't exist.
In that case don't you need to point out the differences, to highlight the improvements, to show the evolution of the idea itself? Or do you wait until the later version is reviewed and focus on those aspects then? Is it even possible for the two records be treated as entirely separate entities once both are in the public domain, no matter what ground rules we set for ourselves?
So let's just start by acknowledging there are two records that are the same song by the same artist and point out that THIS, the original version, was just known as Back Trackin' and came out on DeLuxe in the summer of 1948 and features a much more sparse sound than Dr. Daddy-O (Backtrackin') released a year later on Regal Records and then do our best to ignore the latter from here on.
The Right Track
Instrumentals to this point in rock have been largely sax driven (and would remain so for quite awhile… there we go, "predicting" the future again). Of the two instruments featured on Back Trackin' neither is a sax, or any horn for that matter, which is a little strange simply because of how New Orleans music of all stripes regularly showcased the brass section.
But Paul Gayten himself is a pianist and so it's hardly surprising that he gets such a prominent role on this, leading it off with a very simple progression that sounds like something a first-year piano student uses for warm up exercises.
It's anticipatory by nature, climbing up the scales, then going back down, leaving you hanging waiting for the payoff. Surely Gayten is going to start bashing the keys, or maybe playing some fleet-fingered runs to show off his talents at any moment. But instead he hands over the lead role to the OTHER featured instrument – the guitar.
This is quite unexpected frankly, though entirely welcome. We haven't heard much out of the guitar yet in rock… umm, assuming we will in the future, which is no sure thing as of July 1948 so forget I mentioned that it might go on to be more prominent down the road.
The guitar's increasing flexibility as an instrument, playing lead or rhythm in a variety of sonic textures, is something that bodes well for its continued spread now that technology has given it greater resonance with the solid body electric models and the ability for the sounds it produces to be carried more thanks to better amplifiers.
Here Jack Scott (who in fact wrote the song) delivers his line with sharpness, albeit with something of a thin reedy tone that harkens back more to jazz outfits. At his best here he keeps this more aggressive in his approach, slashing rather than picking, while taking full advantage of the subtle rhythm churning underneath to give it an edgier sound.
When that backing is stripped down however he mellows out considerably, taking it into the jazzier realms with more of a dreamier feel to his solo. It still works within the parameters of the song, but the edginess it might've been building towards is lessened as a result. Again, in 1948 this approach was considered sound. Jazz had used guitars in this way with enough success that it probably wasn't considered something that had to be drastically re-imagined for another style of music.
Yet it's the moments that hint at something different, a harsher sound, a more assertive role, that make it stand out on Back Trackin' and when Scott lays back it becomes routine.
Gayten for his part doesn't do much to offset this. He gets a solo of his own but it's even more laid back than the bulk of Scott's work on guitar. He's not quite playing a supper club arrangement, there's still a little bit of a bounce to it, but for the most part this is music best suited for the background to be heard only intermittently amidst a steady buzz of voices at a party.
Double Back
Even without knowing that Gayten would revisit this a year from now, Back Trackin' sounds like something of an unfinished demo. A dry-run, a rough cut of a song that was gestating in his mind and he'd yet to figure out the means with which to best unveil it.
Many of the familiar Gayten touches are present already however, the choppy rhythm, the quirky stop/start construction, the trading off between instruments, yet it's all done in somewhat crude form. The two most notable pieces missing that might've turned this idea around are a more emphatic beat to give the song something to keep locked in and some horns to at least provide a melodic bed to alleviate the sparseness of the arrangement.
On the whole this comes across like Gayten had some time to kill in the studio, grabbed a few guys hanging around and sketched it out quickly just to be able to hear what it sounded like. Then upon assessing the results, rather than flesh it out to fill in the obvious gaps, they turned their attention to something else entirely only to see this get released as if it were something they'd worked on for days rather than maybe twenty minutes or a half hour.
Of course we don't know for sure if that was the case, or at least we wouldn't have known in the summer of 1948 when this was released, but a year later when he did return to it and made many of those changes on his own it gives some credence to the idea this original was merely Gayten experimenting in the studio.
Like many experiments – musical or otherwise – there's no end to the tweaking of the formula if you have enough time and in his case a new record label willing to indulge in revisiting something to try and get it closer to perfection.
Since it's rare in the era before bootlegs and studio session boxed sets to have the opportunity to hear an artist refining their work over time, the two versions of this one composition released a year apart shows us not only the evolution of the artist in question, but also it would turn out, shows us the ongoing evolution of rock 'n' roll itself.

Q: Use of inroads in a sentence I was reading "The Man who was Thursday" from G. K. Chesterton when I found this sentence which I have not been able to fully understand because of the use of the word 'inroads'. I don't really understand how does the word 'inroads' work, neither in this sentence, nor in general.

"If in a few moments this table begins to turn round a little, don't put it down to your inroads into the champagne. I don't wish you to do yourself an injustice."

Thank you in advance for your help.

A: "If in a few moments this table begins to turn round a little, don't put it down to your inroads into the champagne. I don't wish you to do yourself an injustice."
Chesterton is one of those oft-quoted sources for wise, interesting, and often humorous quotes.
The table is about to turn. To turn the tables can be used as a figure of speech meaning a reversal of fortune, but we would need more information to know whether that is the case here. As I see the table begin to turn, I might be inclined to think that the champagne is catching up with me, that the shift is an illusion of the early stages of intoxication.
The inroads provide the way into something, the beginning. The inroads into the champagne would be the tingly effervescence and light-headedness of being tipsy, or slightly drunk.
He means that I should not write this turning of the table off as mere drunkenness, which would be underestimating my abilities ("an injustice"). Apparently the turning of the table will be real and significant.

A: When there is a limited supply of something, 'make inroads into' means using using up a serious quantity of it.  The shifting table might suggest too much alcohol has been drunk; the speaker says there is another explanation.

make inroads into (Collins)
" to start to use up the supply of something ."

A: It is an example of the figure of speech known as hyperbole. And hyperbole is all about exaggeration - the dog's become like an elephant since it went to that family.
Inroads are incursions, or invasions e.g. militarily, into something.
By using inroads for something small and trivial, like inroads into the Champagne it gains attention, dry humour, and irony.

A: This is one of those quips that's hard to figure out from the dictionary.  Inroad is indeed a kind of incursion, a military term meaning "an advance or penetration, especially at the expense of someone" (Merriam-Webster 3rd international).  Here it is made at the expense of the bar's supply of champagne.  It implies that the "dreary and greasy beershop" Syme has entered has a large amount of champagne, but also that Symes has now drunk a good portion of it. As a result, Syme is close to drunk.
This is why Gregory warns him, "when the table starts spinning, it doesn't mean you're drunk".  Syme is just drunk enough to not be flabbergasted when the table begins spinning, and screws itself down into the secret underground headquarters of the anarchists.

Eburu Forest is a treasure of the Great Rift Valley and that is why the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust stepped in and is engaged in a major long-term conservation exercise to preserve and sustainably manage it, writes Diane McLeish.
Eburu Forest was gazetted in 1936 and falls under the Mau Forests Complex which is fully managed by the Kenya Forestry Services (KFS). Compared to other forests, Eburu is a small forest of 8,700 hectares on the rolling foothills, deep valleys and steep slopes of little known Mount Eburu. This prime indigenous forest nestles within the folds of a geologically active volcanic mountain which overlooks Lake Naivasha, Lake Elementaita and Lake Nakuru, and is the source of the Ndabibi River, numerous streams and ground springs.
Most motorists zoom past on the Nakuru highway not realising that travelling along the North Lake Road towards the Rift Valley Lodge, on the northern side of Lake Naivasha, it is easy to get to the Eburu Forest. Those of us who have visited have been delighted to find this tranquil forest and have spent a relaxed day either exploring, bird watching, hiking or picnicking in the glade.
Leaving the tarmac close to the Rift Valley Lodge you head continually uphill for 12km on a reasonable dirt road, following the KenGen Eburu Geothermal Power Station signs, passing through farmlands growing a wide range of food-crops. The countryside is dotted with dwellings, village shops and rural schools. It comes as a surprise to see the steam bellowing from the geothermal plant just inside the Eburu Gate, making you realise just how active this mountain really is.
Entering the calm, green forest the track narrows considerably and you drive down fern-lined tracks and through tree tunnels into the heart of the reserve. Stepping into the forest is like entering another world. You leave all the fuss and stresses of a busy life behind, to be greeted with the tranquillity and fragrance of nature. Branches covered in lichen hang over ferns and vines tangle themselves around the majestic trees towering above. The earthy smell of damp ground combined with fallen leaves has an instant calming effect.
Continuing along the track it leads you into thick upland forest and down scenic valleys until you reach the forest glade. Pack a picnic, bring binoculars, a book or simply doze off for an afternoon nap in the dappled light of the forest canopy. While a day trip is wonderful, a weekend is better as you can camp overnight. There are no facilities so everything needs to be brought in, including water. For those who don't want to camp, there are plenty of accommodation options around Lake Naivasha.
The forest is a paradise for bird watchers as it has a rich variety of upland birds. The delightful walking trails plus the opportunity of having knowledgeable birding guides makes this forest an appealing destination. It is also the home to an extraordinary diversity of butterflies, moths and insects as well as over 40 species of mammals.
As rich and diverse as this ecosystem is, the forest hasn't always been so blessed. Deforestation had been ruthless especially in the 90s. It was heavily damaged due to 50% deforestation from unauthorised logging, charcoal production and fires and by bushmeat poaching and livestock invasion.
Eburu Forest is a treasure of the Great Rift Valley and that is why the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust stepped in and is engaged in a major long-term conservation exercise to preserve and sustainably manage it. Forests are the water towers of Kenya and since the 43.3 km electric fence was completed in 2014 there have been significant improvements in natural forest regeneration in Eburu. The partners of KFS: Rhino Ark Charitable Trust, Kenya Wildlife Services, M-PESA Foundation and Flamingo Horticulture have been instrumental in fundraising and promoting conservation of Eburu Forest.
Local communities have benefitted from the success of the fence through activities such as eco-tourism, honey production from the 1,000 beehives within the forest and other conservation-related activities. Farmers have reported less human-wildlife conflict as crop raiding animals like the buffaloes and bush pigs are confined to the forest. This has resulted in safer living conditions and improved crops. A wildlife corridor and dispersal area has been opened up through Loldia farm to the shores of Lake Naivasha. There are no more cattle in the forest and no dead wood is allowed out.
What you will now see is commitment, not just from the conservationists and donors but from the local Eburu communities who are proud of its revival and growing reputation. Communities who were once seen as opposing conservation are now important partners and see themselves to be custodians of the forest.
And there is more good news……
The habitat of undisturbed mountain forest, steep valleys, springs and waterfalls make this precious ecosystem the ideal home for about 12 mountain bongo thought to be surviving here. This represents 10% of global wild population of the critically endangered bongo. While still far from secure, the bongo is being given every chance to bounce back from the brink of extinction.
Patrols have removed hundreds of snares and traps. Remote camera "traps" and GPS devices have been placed and are being monitored by the Bongo Surveillance Project. They patrol the forest checking the 40 cameras and give feedback on their findings. Translocation into the forest of other mountain bongo may be the only way to preserve this species.
Eburu Rafiki, the forest community group, supports the rejuvenation of the forest reserve. During May 2019, they planted 11000 seedlings on the lower slopes of the denuded mountain. They don't just plant seedlings but husband the plants by weeding, watering, inspecting and replacing any damaged ones.
The attraction of this forest is to walk in it while taking in the remarkable natural scenery. There are six trails, all of special interest, which take in some of the most beautiful scenery within the forest. The trails vary in distance covered and steepness as well as difficulty. The two longest trails are the summit routes which are about 6km long taking between four to six hours to complete. There are four other trails taking from two to four hours to complete as well as shorter walks to the crater and around the glade.
TIP: Get The Mau Eburu Forest Guide, which can be purchased at the entrance as well as other locations, to help you navigate this forest.

Festive Days
If you were a resident of Brunswick around 1858, you might have looked forward to October when Brunswick held its agricultural fair. It was held for two days in the town hall and on the grounds.
There was a large variety of events and exhibits with more than 200 classes of entries. Livestock, fruits, grains and garden products were displayed. Quilts, blankets, counterpanes, embroidery, etc., were in competition. And there was a complete flower show as well. Prizes were in the 25 to 50 cent range.
Men's Band in 1918
A big celebration was held on July 4, 1919, to honor the town's returning World War I soldiers. Leading the parade on a white horse was Sergeant Meril Morton who had fought overseas. He wore his uniform and carried a large flag. A uniformed band followed with floats and marchers behind. A picnic dinner was served at noon. In the afternoon there was band music, vocal selections and the entire event was topped off by a fireworks display.
As families grew, annual reunions became more and more familiar - outgrowing homes and spilling over into the schools, churches and the community. Often, a community reunion would be held. Sometimes they were called Old Settler's Days, sometimes, called homecomings.
For years the Chamber of Commerce held homecomings on the grounds of what is now Edwards Middle School and they would feature games and rides with all funds going toward purchase of the Youth Center on Route 303, which was purchased from Alwin Wolff. The event continued into the 1960s.
In 1965, the community celebrated its 15th year with a gigantic sesquicentennial celebration. Much of the history carried here was gleaned from the book written for that occasion, An Outline History of Brunswick, 1815-1965.
That year, the largest parade in Brunswick history, totaling more than two hours, was held. It was followed by a two-day carnival homecoming. Events honoring the sesqui covered the entire year of 1965 which was a banner year here, with the advent of city water and the opening of I-71 to the south.
Residents held a bear-growing contest; ladies couldn't wear makeup without a permit; men couldn't shave without a permit; plates were designed and sold; and a kangaroo court would patrol the streets on weekends. All in all, it was a time of great fun.
Ironically, during the big weekend, the town was visited by two large groups. At the north end, the North-South Civil War skirmishers enacted a battle. It was a most exciting time.
At the south end, the Ku Klux Klan held a rally causing a real furor, and forcing police and sheriff's departments to stop all cars coming into town to search for weapons.
In the early 1970s, Brunswick was looking for a way to improve its self-image and began a series of Nationality Days in which residents of varied ethnic backgrounds would set up food booths. It was held for three years at Laurel Square Shopping Center and the last one was held in conjunction with the nation's Bicentennial in 1976. It was another year-long activity to honor the 200th birthday of America.
Then in 1980, the Chamber of Commerce put together the first of its Old Fashioned Days, which is an ongoing event each summer.

"We have successful proof-of-concept data in porcine studies and are designing first-in-human trials, hopefully to begin at the end of 2019 or early 2020," Eyal Kochavi, founder and CEO, says in an interview with BioTuesdays.
"By freezing the tumor, our technology has the potential to ablate tumors, eliminating the risk of dispersed cancer cells, without damage to bladder muscle, meaning no harm to bladder functionality," he adds.
Vessi, which is a member of Israel's Trendlines Group, is targeting a $1.2-billion market opportunity to treat non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which invades the inside lining surface of the bladder.
Mr. Kochavi explains that Vessi's cryo device is inserted into the bladder via a cystoscope and using standard optics, a physician identifies the treatment area and releases a cryo spray to ablate the cancerous tissue. A 15-second spray can ablate an area of 1/2-to-1 square cm.
"We believe this easy-to-use in-office system to treat NMIBC will be readily adopted by physicians who already have experience using cystoscopes," he contends.
According to Mr. Kochavi, NMIBC is usually not life threatening, if being treated, but greatly impacts a patient's mental health and affects their quality of life by causing sexual dysfunction, pain and blood in urine, and frequent need to urinate.
The standard of care for NMIBC is transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, a surgical procedure that involves passing small instruments down the cystoscope to cut any tumors out of the bladder lining.
Mr. Kochavi points out that studies have shown there is an up to 80% recurrence rate of NMIBC after a transurethral resection because of missed tumors, dispersion of cancer cells and incomplete resections. "Not only does this result in repeat hospital procedures but can also lead to bleeding and perforation of the bladder, damage to muscle tissue – harm to bladder functionality - and reduced quality of life," he suggests.
Surface cryotherapy is a potential "paradigm shift" in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer, Prof. Gilad Amiel, a scientific advisor for Vessi, said in a statement. Prof. Amiel is also chairman of the department of urology at Rambam Hospital in Israel and adjunct associate Prof. of urology at Baylor College in Houston.
Mr. Kochavi says Vessi is seeking up to $3-million to finance its first-in-human trial, begin the regulatory submission process and start a pivotal program in 2021. The proof-of-concept study is expected to enroll about six patients and include a six-month follow-up. The company may also apply for additional non-dilutive grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority.
"We hope to seek 510(k) regulatory approval with the FDA and CE Mark in Europe in early 2022 and start commercialization later in that year," he says, adding that U.S. reimbursement is already in place.
The company initially plans to target low-grade papillary tumors, which account for about 70% of all NMIBC cases and represent an $850-million annual worldwide market, Mr. Kochavi notes. It then would move to treat high-grade and carcinoma in-situ, a $350-million annual market.
Beyond NMIBC, Mr. Kochavi suggests Vessi's technology could have future applications in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections, overactive bladder and upper urinary tract carcinoma.

The Bona Mors Confraternity
(Bona Mors = "Happy Death").
The Bona Mors Confraternity was founded 2 October, 1648, in the Church of the Gesu, Rome, by Father Vincent Carrafa, seventh General of the Society of Jesus, and approved by the Sovereign PontiffsInnocent X and Alexander VII. In 1729 it was raised to an archconfraternity and enriched with numerous indulgences by Benedict XIII. He authorized the father general of the Society of Jesus, who in virtue of his office, was the director, to erect confraternities in all churches of his order. In 1827 Leo XII gave to the director general the power to erect and affiliate branch confraternities in churches not belonging to the Society of Jesus, and to give them a share in all the privileges and indulgences of the archconfraternity. The object of the association is to prepare its members by a well-regulated life to die in peace with God. The longer title: "Confraternity of Our Lord Jesus Christ dying on the Cross, and of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, his sorrowful Mother," expresses the chief means to attain that end, devotion to the passion of Christ, and to the sorrows of Mary. Besides this union of prayers and good works of the associates and the special instructions at the public meetings help powerfully to prepare for a happy death [sic]. The conditions for membership are to present oneself to the director; to express to him one's desire to become a member; to receive from him an outward sign of acceptance, usually in the form of a certificate of admission; and to have one's name registered in the local Bona Mors register. Only "by an unusual and extraordinary exception," says a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, "is it allowed to enroll those absent." The director is authorized to decide what constitutes such an exceptional case. The practices of the association and the indulgences granted to the members are specified in the manual of the confraternity (New York, 1896).

i'm toying with the rather ambitious idea of spinning yarn for a jumper for madam (although not as ambitious as planning to knit it myself - nanny's volunteered for that). i'm really not convinced that i'm up to spinning around 400g anything like consistently but it seems like a challenging next step.
if we don't use one of nanny's existing patterns i quite like the look of childhood from knitty. it looks like it's a worsted weight yarn (what on earth is the uk equivalent?), roughly 11 wpi, 250g of the body colour, 150g for the stripes.

The All Progressives Congress in Osun state has described the choice of former Osun governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as ministerial nominee by the President Muhammadu Buhari as worthy choice considering his exceptional performances in the state.
The party commended the Nigerian Senate for his confirmation adding that the development has put a paid to nitty witty of his detractors.
Read full statement
"It is not party patronage that has given Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola his new ministerial opportunity to serve the Nigerian people
"He has earned this as a result of his exceptional leadership and performance for eight (8) historic years as governor of the state of Osun and before then a successful Works Commissioner in Lagos.
"We hail Aregbesola as a Hero and denounce those who deny his historic transformation of Osun from a backward state to a pace-setting progressive environment as losers and mean-spirited."
The above is how the APC in Osun has reacted to the nomination and today's confirmation of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement from the party's directorate of publicity, signed and circulated to the media by its director, Barr Kunle Oyatomi shortly after Aregbesola's confirmation by the Senate in Abuja today, the APC declared that;
"It is predominantly Ogbeni's performance in Osun between 2010 and 2018 that has made him a Minister.
"Osun salutes him; he is our Hero!!
"Besides, It is most especially gratifying that regardless of the monstrously evil attacks of lies and demonization of the person and actions of Ogbeni, orchestrated by the PDP and other hateful opponents, his personality did not diminish and his unparalleled performance escalated in recognition locally and internationally", the APC said.
According to the party, "what stood out about Aregbesola in the midst of this opposition 'carnage' was that the worse the attacks got, the more spectacular his achievements as governor became.
"Not only that, the PDP-led Federal government at the time paid attention and acknowledged the transformation in Osun.
"Also, the British Parliament in London noticed and invited Ogbeni to get a glimpse of how this unusual leader was making a grand success from poverty!!
"The United Nations was so impressed about what Aregbesola was doing on many fronts that it recommended the Osun model of feeding school children to countries in the Continent of Africa!!
"That is what a leadership asset is made of and that's what qualifies Ogbeni for a higher role in governance in Nigeria today", the APC ascerted.
"Aregbesola's triumph in Osun was a huge scale up on his record in Lagos as Commissioner.
"Today, as a Minister in Abuja the expectations are high that this exceptional politician will break records", the APC concluded.

Widow to Sue Over Fatal Shooting of Husband, 80, by Sheriff's Deputies
Posted 7:19 PM, October 10, 2013, by Melissa Pamer and Christina Pascucci, Updated at 10:18PM, October 10, 2013
The wife of an 80-year-old man who was shot dead by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies in a mistaken meth lab raid is planning to sue the county for $50 million, she said.
Eugene Mallory, 80, was killed during a June 27 raid by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.
On the morning of June 27, detectives raided the couple's home in unincorporated Littlerock, serving a search warrant granted because the property allegedly smelled of the ingredients used to make methamphetamine, according to sheriff's department officials.
There's a dispute about what exactly happened at the home in the 36600 block of 117th Street East (map), east of Palmdale, but Eugene Mallory ended up dead, shot six times.
No evidence of a meth operation was ever found, though sheriff's officials say marijuana was found on the property.
On Friday, attorney James Bergener plans to announce his filing of a civil lawsuit on behalf of Mallory's widow Tonya Pate against the sheriff's department and the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, which Pate says released Mallory's remains to an out-of-state relative. Pate will ask for upwards of $50 million.
During the June raid, Mallory raised a semi-automatic handgun in response to deputies, who fired on him, the sheriff's department said at the time. Two guns were recovered at the scene, according to sheriff's department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
"Age does not preclude somebody from being aggressive toward deputies," Whitmore said. "The lesson here is… don't pull a gun on a deputy."
Pate said Mallory, a former engineer with Lockheed Martin, respected law enforcement and would never have used a gun against officers.
"He would never point a gun at officers," said Pate, 48. "Every day I stay in that house with that bloody bedroom … where I know he was taken from me for no reason."
Mallory did own two guns that were in the house, Pate said. She said his glasses were beside his bed when he was killed, and could not have seen because of poor eyesight.
"He was shot in his bed before there was any warning given," Bergener said..
Marijuana was found on another part of the property where Tonya's lived, she said.
"There was a drug operation that was certainly going on in this house," Whitmore said.
