Stuck at sea in the water prison
News General News
Myanmar sailors stuck at sea, unable to return due to the coronavirus restrictions. Photos: Supplied.
29 May 2020 - Source: Myanmar Times
Ko Aung Ye Zaw has spent more than a year at sea, in a place he refers to as "the water prison." The water prison is a colloquial expression that refers to being stuck at sea, as a Myanmar sailor.
Although sailors like Ko Aung Ye Zaw earn a good wage, they pay mentally – spending long months without friends and family, on a boat surrounded by thousands of kilometres of the open ocean.
They keep counting the days before they can return home, and dream about things to do onshore. But, unfortunately, all their plans have been ruined and smashed-up like the choppy sea.
"It's so sad that we can't go back home," Ko Aung Ye Zaw, a 27-year-old sailor from the LOI DREAM ship, said.
There are more than 30,000 Myanmar sailors currently at sea, with more than 10,000 over their contract. Aung Ye Zaw is one of those sailors putting in the extra hours, not able to return to shore because of COVID-19.
Though COVID-19 has bought a halt to life on land, the shipping industry continues to transport essential goods and supplies around the world. Though the sky is clear of commercial airlines, maritime transport continues to flow with the ocean.
Maritime trade is an important part of the world economy and an income stream for many Myanmar sailors working on the waves.
In order for the world to operate smoothly, freight will continue to move around the globe. Goods and money will continue to flow, but the flow of humans from place to place has been disrupted.
Many countries have cancelled flights in order to curb the spread of the COVID-19, and this makes it difficult for many sailors to return home.
As a result, the crew aboard the LOI DREAM had to sign a renewal contract. They were less than happy about working extra weeks at sea but had no option. Some sailors say the company has ignored their requests to return home, due to the high costs of travel during the COVID-19 restrictions.
In Taiwan, which is where Aung Ye Zaw's ship is docked, air traffic has been shut down and, even if it were reopened, the sailors still need to quarantine themselves before travelling elsewhere. The sailors are permitted to stay in hotel quarantine in Taipei, but the cost is around $3,000 for two weeks. "If you can afford it, you can return," a company official told the sailors.
"There's no way we can afford that, but the company could quite easily help us out," Aung Ye Zaw said.
As a result, the crew is still under contract. They are required to work on the ship, but many worry that the long hours and weeks at sea will cause psychological problems soon.
Surveys show that about a fifth of sailors have considered suicide, at least once whilst on a voyage.
The sailors even protested their situation last week, demanding to be allowed home, Aung Ye Zaw said. However, the crew were given a warning and told not to protest.
Loading supplies onto the LOI DREAM, before leaving shore.
"No one wants to work on the ship anymore," said Aung Ye Zaw.
When thinking about their motherland, some crew members said they were annoyed about paying high taxes to the government only to receive so little in return.
The International Maritime Organization (IOM) has warned maritime companies and governments to make crew changes in June.
International airlines have also announced that they will resume flights next month, giving the crew a glimmer of hope that their water prison sentence will end soon.
Captain Soe Min Aung, chairman of the Myanmar Maritime Federation, said he was unsure whether the crew could return in June, but urged governments and companies to maintain good records of those on board – helping to expedite their return when the time comes.
For those returning from their work at sea, whether commercial sailors or marines, a two-week quarantine period on-shore is still mandatory.
Whilst some sailors are itching to get back to life on the land, others are desperate to leave for the high seas.
Ko Ye Min Thu is a 29-year-old sailor living in Yangon, who has been living on-shore for nearly seven months. With the current COVID-19 restrictions, his work plans were temporarily halted – but he can't wait to get on the next ship, no matter what the cost.
"We are just making money on the water, so some of us really want to go back to work – which just happens to be on the ship," he said.
"It's going to be very frustrating if we have to wait until this pandemic is. We are already suffering from all the closures," he added.
People on the ship are eager to go home, and people on the land are eager to get back to their former lives at sea.

Optical mass data storage systems have developed to the point of application. The advantages of the optical techniques are packing density and increased data rates with random access for retrieval. The key to improvement is the record material; although acceptable archival materials have been developed, progress continues with more efficient techniques and materials to increase packing density, S/N, and data rates. However, to qualify for total competition with magnetic storage systems, it is necessary to provide an erasable and reusable medium, which this paper will discuss.


Just for some history…I am born and bred L.A. girl living quietly in Pacific Grove, CA (a.k.a PG). I had never even heard of PG until we moved here about 4 ½ years ago (7+ now)…so for those of you who are trying to place it…we are on the southern end of the Monterey Bay…you may not have heard of us but surely you have heard of Pebble Beach (golf galore) and Carmel (that famous guy Clint Eastwood was mayor once upon a time)...ring a bell? We are right there in that mix.
One of the big who-ha's in PG is the Butterfly Parade.
PG is home to the Monarch Grove Sanctuary, where, in October thousands (much of the Western population) of Monarch Butterflies arrive to hang out for the winter. To celebrate this occurrence, we have a dandy little parade and all the schoolchildren dress up in some sort of costume - this year we had sea horses, Native Americans, and jellyfish to name a few.
The crowning glory of the parade are the Kindergartner's dressed as Monarch butterflies. It is beyond adorable...(I am including a photo of my boy when he was a monarch so you really get the idea.) Really, just try to picture a hundred or so sweet little 5 year olds with antennae and wings and try not to smile. Even I Ms. Delightfully Cynical cannot contain myself.
*One T-shirt - 100% cotton is best...BUT since I was in a hurry (again) I grabbed the first blank white shirt I found and it had lycra, and it was not "the best" - the design cracked a bit when we put it on because of the stretch*...I am willing to admit my mistakes. I have spent way too much time and money doing crafts with lame results...I would like to spare others this same pain with any crafts I do. Be sure to wash the shirt first!
*T-Shirt Transfer paper (use stretchable transfer paper if your shirt has a lot of stretch). I tried a different to-remain-nameless brand this time and I am blowing it a big raspberry. I prefer Avery. be sure to get either transfers for light or dark t-shirts depending on the color of T you choose.
*Image of whatever you want to print. I got these butterflies for free by googling "free clip art, butterfly." I am totally into silhouettes right now...just wait until you see the next craft.
*Iron and a pillow case.
1. Printed out design on transfer paper. I printed out a bunch of different size butterflies on one sheet of transfer paper. I ran the paper through twice, once regular and once "mirror image." I made a couple butterflies orange for a little touch of color.
3. Lay out the pillowcase on a hard surface (no ironing board), and put the shirt on top and place the designs - keep in mind you have to flip them over for to iron them on.
4. Flip 'em over and iron on according to the manufacturers directions provided with the transfer paper.
5. Wait for the T and transfer paper to cool (I always try to pull it off because I am impatient...trust me...wait!) before peeling off the back, and voila! Cute little T!
Now I am not really sure where this fits in, but I must share some PG history, facts, whatever you want to call them (at least my interpretation of them). PG is charming and quaint - it began as a Methodist camp in 1875; we have more Victorian houses per capita than anywhere else in America; we have the oldest continually operated lighthouse on the West Coast; and John Steinbeck as well as Robert Louis Stevenson have rich history here.
PG is also a bit odd (sorry folks, from an outsiders perspective it is!). We have tree police - I do not know if they are official, but they pretty much don't let you cut a tree until it falls on your house (little late!); if you want to add a bathroom or prep sink in the new kitchen...you must wait until water credits come available (possibly years), and maybe most importantly all the big fish in the little sea (the city council) could not deiced on a replacement mayor, so they flipped a coin..I will never run for mayor...I always lose coin tosses.
Those kids are adorable! A very cute project, too!
"PG" (sounds a little like "PV") sounds like a great little place to live. You mentioned Texas being great, and it is, but I do miss the views of the Pacific and the cooler temps. I LOVE the whole monarch parade and I am sure that is a sight to see all the butterflies. We had the monarchs come through our ranch in South Texas one time it was AMAZING! (I personally like the tree cops, too.) It might be a bit over the top, but TX could use something like that.
That shirt is darling!! Love it. What a great idea with the transfer paper. So crafty!!
Oh, I bet those little 5 yr old butterflies are adorable. (Yours was anyway.) I love the shirt - it is super cute as is your daughter.
Sounds like you could do a whole blog post on your odd/quaint town. I bet is is very picturesque.
PG sounds and looks like a great place to raise a family. And that butterfly parade is a winner. What parent wouldn't be beaming.
My kids are grown, but my 11 year old step-daughter and my grandchildren would really like those shirts. Thanks for the instructions.
The kids and the shirts are adorable!
The "tree police" in our small town are the exact opposite of yours. When we lost a limb from our maple back in July, they decided to cut down both 100+ year old trees in our front yard. I'm still sad!
On menu prep. I only make my menus for my shopping list. I do not make my menus to be for specific days. I make up my shopping list along with the 21 main meals for the week. Then, when I am so inspired, I pick one for that day and cross it off. There are things that are time sensitive... but when you plan for just a week, even things like fruit will last most of the time.
My girls love butterflies (although I tried to get them to appreciate scorpions and centipedes, to no avail). That looks like an awesome project with a great payoff for them.
2nd...I wish I was crafty. Those shirts you made were AMAZING. Makes me happy just to know people like you.
3rd...Love PG. I live in Los Altos. I go to Asilomar almost every winter for a women's retreat with our church. Always have to stop at that little, quaint cottage on the corner of main street to have lunch. Can't think of the name right now.
4th...Thanks for a great post!
I LOVE butterflies. Those multi-butterflies are such fun. I'd love to have something like that on a shirt but I'm not sure I'm that crafty!
Love the butterfly pics, I've seen the monarchs in PG, very beautiful. I didn't realize we were "neighbors"- I live in Santa Cruz County!
Thanks all stopping by...I am happy I made some new friends today. Seriously those shirts are SO EASY!!! And you can find clip art for just about anything (boy stuff too!). I have made shirts so b'day parties etc. I thought it looked way too complicated at first, but it is not.
Really...SANTA CRUZ! My son always yells it...he loves SANTA CRUZ.
Oh, my gosh, that baby picture is so cute!
Your little butterfly guy is a cutie pie also. It seems like only yesterday that I was dressing my 3 up for Halloween. Now it's just another day. Enjoy all of these special moment HollyL.
I know this post is a year old, but had to come and see the little butterflies.
You surprised me again with my little pink kitchen in your post. You do that to me girlfriend. That's enough now. I'm just little old me, living in my little cottage home with my super great hubby and all my fur babies.
Ok I've been on your site for over an hour now. I'm checking everyone out. Cool girls, great stuff.

We've been a band for about 10 years. During that time I can honestly say that I have never really doubted our ability to take our dream and turn it into a reality. Sure, there were periods where we were down. Moments of frustration, and in those moments of grappling, the only option was to work to pull ourselves up and to fix whatever problem was hamstringing our slow inevitable march towards success. I never thought about what was after music. Or even that there was an after music. For me, there was never a "plan B". I think as an artist or entrepreneur you can't have a backup plan. It somehow confuses and dilutes your primary goal. That's what makes it so damn risky. Anyway, we were driving home from a tough supporting tour, we were broke, which wasn't uncommon. Halli had just moved to Oregon and we'd dropped her at a Motel 6 to spend the night before her morning flight. Watching her check into the motel as we pulled away felt like an ending. It was as if I removed a pair of tunnel vision goggles and could see the world and my life for the first time since we started this band. I felt incredibly small, fragile, irresponsible, foolish, at a loss for what to do next and very alone. The reality of what we had been trying to do for a decade came crashing down in an almost laughable way. We didn't talk about it and I don't know if anyone felt the same way but, at that moment, I changed. I could talk about this for hours. The funny thing is that a month later we had the most successful tour we've ever had. Without those tours and my wife's steady support and understanding, I don't know what would happen. Writing songs is pretty easy, making a career out of it is the hard part.
In the process of making Kindness, A Rebel — in part because it all happened so fast and frenetically — I feel I achieved a certain level of self-acceptance. Maybe this had something to do with changes in my personal life. Entering an MFA program for Fiction has helped assuage some of my creative anxiety at the same time it's been tremendously humbling. Whatever it was, I felt Kindness, A Rebel was a letting go, an embrace of our weaknesses and a celebration of our strengths. We all have weaknesses, and it was something of a revelation to me to realize that they can be interesting, that imperfection is as compelling as the talent that surrounds it.
HALLI
For the past two years I've been splitting my time between Astoria, OR, Asheville, NC, and life on the road. I've managed to create a different version of myself for each of these places-- multiple personalities, if you will, resulting in the deterioration of my core identity. It's strange (and sad) to say, but the only place that I felt completely "me" was in the making of Kindness, A Rebel. There's something about creating music in the studio that allows one to forget the pomp and circumstance and be more present, more instinctual. Our songs were recorded quickly and viscerally, without the normal level of scrutinization, which I am most guilty of! I was more comfortable in the vast solitude of west Texas, with space and time to be imaginative and let my nervous system breathe. I meditated in the sun, and ate pecans off the ground. I played with five different farm cats, drank the best tequila, and at night, saw the Milky Way. I didn't feel the death grip of social dread ("Another Shitty Party") or fight the urge to jump on my cell-phone ("All of My Friends"). Making Kindess was a giant massage for my soul, and though I'll have to readapt to the sporadic touring and traveling back and forth across the country, I have music and my bandmates to remind me of where I belong.
2017 was a year of change for me, full of milestones and undeniable reminders of the passing of time. To begin with, as we all know, the presidency changed hands. Regardless of who was taking his place, I felt the close of the Obama presidency in a deep way, a serious wake-up call to how quickly time is passing and how something you've intwined in your own growth and every-day life can simply run its course and be gone. Then in the following months, I got engaged, bought a house, began building a recording studio, became an uncle and most significantly, lost my father to a sudden and unexplained illness. He was an immeasurable source of love, guidance, friendship and support in my life, so this rocked me incredibly hard and shaped/colored the rest of the year (to date). I must add that my bandmates and manager were monumental in helping me through this experience.
Meanwhile, Halli had moved to Oregon, so RW was going through its own changes as well, beginning to work in a more structured fashion with definite "on" times and "off" times. This defined how we wrote this record — in concise, limited sessions of full-immersion, a departure from how we wrote records in the past, with much more time and reflection, drafting some songs several times over before arriving at an agreeable final version. Though I knew this new approach would require a certain amount of artistic concessions, I had always wanted to make a record this way so I was excited that we were taking that route. Of course, as we hurdled through the process, that proved to be true. We indeed had to make plenty of concessions. But having found a profound peace and beauty in the process of letting go throughout the year, and recognizing the growth that can rise in the place of what is gone, this felt natural and right.

Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension
Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension project will extend the existing 20.7km metro line serving the Metro Manila region in the Philippines by approximately 11.7km.

Also called Green Line, the LRT Line 1 is the first metro line of the Manila LRT system. The line runs between Baclaran in Paranaque city and Congressional Ave in Quezon City in the Metro Manila region. The proposed extension will extend the existing line from Baclaran to Bacoor city in Cavite Province.
The project is aimed at easing the traffic congestion in the Paranaque-Las Pinas-Cavite corridor and improving the commercial development around the rail stations along the line. Upon completion, the extended line is expected to benefit more than one million daily passengers.
The Light Rail Manila Consortium (LRMC), which won the contract to build and operate the extension project, is implementing the project with the support of the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) of the Philippines and the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC).
The LRT-1 Cavite Extension project works are currently underway with partial operations scheduled to begin in 2021. The extension will increase the line's capacity to 800,000 passengers a day from the current 500,000.
"Upon completion, the extended line is expected to benefit more than one million daily passengers."
Manila LRT-1 extension project background
With 20 stations along its 20km route, the LRT-1 became operational in 1984. Its ridership increased to half a million passengers a day in just three decades.
The last decade has seen a significant increase in the number of people using the route. However, due to poor maintenance, the existing infrastructure deteriorated and the fleet size decreased causing safety concerns. Further, just three metro lines serve 16 million inhabitants in Manila.
The Philippine Government with the support from Development Bank of the Philippines appointed International Finance Corporation (IFC) as the lead adviser for the extension project on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. IFC will also participate in the designing, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed extension.
In October 2014, the LRTA and the DOTC, which originally owned and operated the LRT system, awarded the contract to operate and maintain the existing line, as well as to construct the proposed extension to LRMC, which is comprised major local and international conglomerates such as Metro Pacific Light Rail (MPLRC), Ayala Corp's AC Infrastructure Holding Corporation (AC Infra) and the Macquarie Group.
The 32-year PHP64.915bn ($1.36bn) concession includes $200m in upfront concession fees. LRMC also committed to invest $925m in the construction of the extension.
The Cavite Extension project details
The proposed extension will stretch the existing 20.7km LRT Line 1 to 32.4km and is designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing system.
It will connect into the existing line immediately south of the Baclaran station and continue to run southward. It will traverse through the cities of Paranaque and Las Pinas, and will end at Barangay Niog, Bacoor.
The new track will consist of elevated guideways throughout the alignment, while the at-grade guideway section will be located at Zapote, where a satellite depot and a new station will be constructed.
The project also includes the development of three intermodal facilities, one satellite depot and upgrades to the existing depot.
The Cavite Extension will feature eight more stations from Baclaran, increasing the total number of LRT-1 stations from 20 to 28. The eight stations will be located at Redemptorist, MIA, Asiaworld, Ninoy Aquino, Dr. Santos, Las Piñas, Zapote, and Niog.
The first five stations of the extension will be built in the first phase, while the remaining three stations are scheduled for completion in 2022.
The extension will be designed for a speed of 80km/h for the main track, 60km/h through the stations, and 30km/h for secondary and depot tracks, whereas the commercial speed will remain at 60km/h.
Once complete, the 11.7km extension will reduce the journey time between Baclaran and Bacoor from 70 minutes to approximately 25 minutes.
Contractors involved in Manila LRT Cavite extension
While the Manila Consortium builds and operates the Cavite Extension project, the DOTC and the LRTA will undertake complementary projects through traditional public procurement.
The complementary projects may include design and procurement of new rolling stock and depot development, construction of a new satellite depot and expansion of the current depot.
RATP Group, the operator of Paris Metro, has been selected as the technical partner for LRMC.
Signalling and communication system
LRMC has awarded a €450m ($501m) contract to Alstom Transport and Bouygues Travaux Publics to provide an integrated metro solution for the extension project in February 2016.
The contractual scope includes provision for signalling and communication system and traction power supply. It also includes track work on the extended line, construction of a new depot and extension of the existing depot.
Alstom will also install Atlas 100 on-board signalling solution for 60 trains and renovate the existing signalling system of Line 1.
Financing for the Cavite extension
The estimated investment for the project is PHP64.915bn ($1.36bn), of which PHP25.35bn ($533m) will be funded by the Philippine Government through official development assistance (ODA) from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) under Capacity Enhancement of Mass Transit Systems in Metro Manila Project. The ODA will be utilised for complementary projects such as the construction of a satellite depot, rolling stock design and procurement, and expansion of an existing depot.
The remaining PHP39.565bn ($831.9m) will be raised through private sector investments.

1. We will find out who will be wrestling at the Royal Rumble for the vacant WWF World Tag Team Championships.
A couple of decent matches to set up the tag title match at the Royal Rumble. The Diesel promo was actually pretty bad. It felt like it took forever to done with and I'm not sure what it accomplished in promoting his match with Bret at the Rumble. Anyway, an average show this week for Superstars.


It's the ratri(night) before Navratri and Sushrat (Aayush Sharma) aka Susu's ready to celebrate the festival. He is described as ambitionless, Sushrat plans to run a garba academy. Enters Michelle (Warina Hussain) is a B-school topper in London and is set to earn a package of Rs 75 lakh. There is a world of difference between them, and yet, no points for guessing, they fall in love during Navratri. The way Aayush woos her, the way their romance prospers, the way Warina's dad scolds him, the way his heart breaks – everything is predictable.
His friends – Rocket and Negative – are more realistic about the upcoming nine nights of revelry. They want to fall in love every half an hour and be heartbroken every hour. Susu's mama (uncle), played by Ram Kapoor, a full-time garment salesman and a seasonal singer, is also Susu's love guru and he believes his nephew's life is going to change this Navratri. His love notes include euphisms like love is like a SIM card – it fits in to all phones irrespective of brand or cost.
The large garba get-togethers are the highlight of director Abhiraj Minawala's Loveyatri. Richly decorated sets, vibrant costumes and energetic dancing serve as the backdrop for Susu and Michelle's fledgling love story. But every good old-fashioned Bollywood love story needs an equally old-school villain. With Ronit playing the laundry service-owning patriarch, you know he is going to throw a spanner into Susu's love story.
Now, from the backdrop of the Navratri festival in Vadodara, the action later shifts to the banks of the River Thames in London. Niren Bhatt's script is old wine in recycled bottles, just with a new faces and a new setting.
Talking about performances, Aayush Sharma friends, Rocket and Negative played by Pratik Gandhi and Sajeel Parekh deliver a performance which is way better than Aayush Sharma's. Aayush Sharma holds one blank expression for as long as needed in the scene. Hussain too is bland, and this almost works in their favour as a newbie onscreen couple.
At one point in the second half, the hero says what the audience begins to feel 15 minutes into the film. "Sab kuch is wrong… Iss mein se kuch bhi nahin hona chahiye tha(Everything is wrong, none of this should have happened)," he says after enumerating all that has transpired between him and Michelle. If only the realization had dawned upon the makers of LoveYatri before they made the film, we would have been spared the pain of sitting through it.

Best NCAA Football Parlay of Week 15
NCAA Football Week 15
For the second straight week, we went 1-2 on our picks and for the second straight week, it was Clemson who saved us from putting up a big fat old donut. So, shout out to the Tigers for that. We're now an even 10-10 on picks this season with a tough 2-5 mark on our parlays, so let's get back in the saddle and to our winning ways with our Week 15 parlay. This week we'll be expecting a run-of-the-mill low-scorer at West Point, the Hurricanes to toss around the Tar Heels, and the Trojans to show the Bruins who's boss in the Pac-12.
Navy Midshipmen @ Army Black Knights (-7) (-109) (888sport)
December 12th, 3:00pm, Michie Stadium
There's something about that Commander-In-Chief Trophy that just summons the best out of those service academies, especially defensively, which is why betting the under on Navy vs. Army this weekend is a shoo-in to kick off our parlay. Granted, the 38-point over/under number betting sites are giving us is very low, but there have been 38 points or less scored in seven of the past eight contests between these two academies, and in the eighth there were only 41 points scored.
In fact, when it comes to this game, the numbers are almost absurd. 15 of the past 17 showdowns between the Midshipmen and the Black Knightshave gone under the total, including ten straight dating back to 2010. Another number strengthening our case here is the under's performance when Navy visits Army: the under has hit the last nine times in a row that the Midshipmen have come to play at West Point.
According to Action Network, the under has gone 36-9-1 since 2005 in games featuring two of the three service academies. We haven't had much luck with unders lately, and by golly if this one doesn't pan out for us on Saturday, it could be the last time you see me rooting on an under for a while, because this seems as tight a lock as you can get.
Pick: Game Total Points Under (38) (-110) (888sport)
No. 17 UNC Tar Heels @ No. 10 Miami Hurricanes
December 12th, 3:30pm, Hard Rock Stadium
The 2020 edition of this classic matchup is bound to be a good one with two of the most exciting quarterbacks in the ACC, UNC's Sam Howell and Miami's D'Eriq King, going toe to toe. With the ACC's top two teams, Notre Dame and Clemson, most likely headed for the College Football Playoff, 8-1 Miami has a real shot at an invite to the Orange Bowl. What that means for us as bettors is that the 'Canes have a lot more to play for than the 7-3 Heels, so you can expect Miami to bring out all the stops on Saturday. The home team's 7-1 record against the spread in the last eight meetings between these programs should also give us 'Canes bettors solace here.
King has shown himself to be one of the better mobile quarterbacks in the NCAA this season, and UNC has struggled against offenses led by dual threats similar to King such as Hendon Hooker at Virginia Tech (45 points), Ian Book at Notre Dame (31 points, loss), and Brennan Armstrong at Virginia (44 points, loss). The Heels also gave up 53 points and 429 passing yards to Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman, and King is better than all of those guys with the exception of Book.
The Heels defense has had a problem with mobile quarterbacks as well as the overall passing game, and that's Miami's bread and butter. Most of that bread has been buttered by King, who has lit up opponents to the tune of 2,334 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air this year. Expect King and the Hurricanes offense to be back in the kitchen with their butter knives at the ready on Saturday. Miami's strong pass rush (17th in the nation with 26 sacks in nine games) could also cause big problems for UNC's suspect offensive line (2.90 sacks allowed per game, 23rd most).
Pick: Miami Hurricanes Point Spread (-3) (-113) (888sport)
No. 15 USC Trojans (-3) (-113) (888sport) @ UCLA Bruins
December 12th, 7:30pm, Rose Bowl
Much like with the Hurricanes, the 4-0 Trojans will take on a 3-2 Bruins team that has much less to play for than them, and we're firing up the slight favorites again. With its unblemished record, USC has a chance to make it to the Pac-12 title game with a win on Saturday in the conference's final weekend of regular season action.
The Bruins have stacked a couple of wins in a row over Arizona and Arizona State, but neither of those teams has won a game yet and they average only 213.0 and 205.5 passing yards per game, respectively. UCLA's defense has a whole other thing coming at them on Saturday as the best signal caller in the conference, Kedon Slovis, leads an offense that puts up 313.0 yards per game through the air into Pasadena.
Last season, Slovis sliced and diced his way to 515 yards and four touchdown passes in USC's big win over the Bruins, and going up against a UCLA secondary that's giving up the fifth-most passing yards in the conference means it should be smooth sailing for Kedon and company again. The Trojans have won four of the last five meetings between these programs, and they'll look to push that to five of the last six as they attempt to notch their first 5-0 record since 2006 when Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart (now staple pundits for Fox's NCAA football coverage) were still roaming the Coliseum grounds. So, yeah, it's been a while for the Trojans.
Pick: USC Trojans Point Spread (-3) (-113) (888sport)
After a few weeks looking for big-time covers, we decided to mix it up a bit this week, sticking with favorites, but this time going with ones that are a little less chalky. If Navy and Army get up to their usual ways, the Hurricanes stave off the Tar Heels, and the Trojans charge over the Bruins, we should be some happy campers come Saturday night. Godspeed, and may the odds be ever in our favor.
PARLAY: +582 odds (888sport) → $100 = $682.27

Happenings in the insect world
Which One Is Not Like the Other?
So here are all these milkweed bugs clustered on a showy milkweed leaf, Asclepias speciosa. It's early morning and the red bugs are a real eye opener.
They're seed eaters, but as Hugh Dingle, emeritus professor of entomology, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology says: "They are opportunistic and generalists." They not only eat seeds, but monarch eggs and larvae, as well as the oleander aphids that infest the milkweed.
But wait, one of these is not like the other.
A lady beetle, aka ladybug, photobombs the scene. It sleeps with them and eats (aphids) with them. They are sharing the same food source: oleander aphids.
Goodbye, aphids!

Hurrah for the Red, White and Blue!
It's the Fourth of July, and amid our celebration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago on July 4, 1776 and our glorious nation, we celebrate the red, white and blue--the colors of our flag.
But in the insect world, we can also celebrate the red, white and blue:
The red: The firecracker red flameskimmer dragonfly, Libellula saturata, a common dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, native to western North America. We love to see it perched on a bamboo stake in our pollinator garden.
The white: The delicate, petticoated cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae, common throughout much of the world, including North and South America, Europe, Great Britain, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Beauty? Yes. It absolutely glows in the late afternoon sun. Beast? Yes. The caterpillar or larva is a serious pest of our cole crops, including cabbage, kale and mustard.
The blue: The blue spots in the tail of the Western tiger swallowtail, Papilio rutulus, a common swallowtail butterfly of North America. Its range stretches from much of North America, from British Columbia to North Dakota in the north to Baja California and New Mexico in the south, according to Wikipedia.
We've never been able to capture an image of a flameskimmer, cabbage white butterfly or Western tiger swallowtail in the same photo, but they don't need to be. Individually, their colors are strong and independent, just like our forefathers who signed the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago.

Hurray for the Red, White and Blue!
One more day until we celebrate the birth of our country, Independence Day, and the patriotic colors will be out in force.
Insects, also, can be red, white and blue.
Take the red flameskimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata). The male is firecracker red, as bright as the stripes on our American flag.
Take the Acmon Blue (Plebejus acmon) butterfly. It's as blue as the starry background on our flag.
Take the white cabbage butterfly (Pieris rapae). it's a white as the stars on our flag. Okay, it's a pest, but its colors are appropriate on July 4.
Just think, when the members of the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, there were all those red, white and blue insects flying around.
We mark the holiday with fireworks, family reunions, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, concerts, baseball games, and the like, but if we look closely, the insects are there, too!

The increasing multicultural population in the US and the world is reflected in the patient population that most Facial Plastic Surgeons are seeing in their practice environments. Facial plastic surgery procedures and aesthetic goals had been based predominantly on European Caucasian models of anatomy and cultural influences/ Currently, a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds are included in most facial plastic surgery practice experiences. A recognition and sensitivity to those differences and influences should be part of a modern facial plastic surgeon's skill set. With an understanding of the tremendous clinical relevance of multicultural aesthetics, this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics addresses Anatomy, Aesthetic goals, Patient evaluation, and Surgical techniques according to various ethnic, racial, and cultural needs. Some of the topics presented are Considerations in non-Caucasian facelift procedures; Scar variations by skin type; Laser and face peel procedures in non-Caucasians; Rhinoplasty in the Mestizo nose; Rhinoplasty in the African-American nose; Rhinoplasty in the Asian nose; Facial aesthetic surgical goals in patients of different cultures; and Concepts of beauty in a multicultural world.

Firefighters tackle blazes in training exercise
Firefighters have been battling flames at some of our properties as part of a planned training exercise.
Last Friday we invited four crews from Avon Fire & Rescue Service to visit some of our empty properties in Filton for some live-fire training. All of the properties are due to be demolish next month as part of our ongoing regeneration programme.
Fires were set inside six flats in Rodney Crescent, with firefighters wearing breathing apparatus then entering the property to rescue casualties and put out the blaze. The fires were all carried out in a controlled way to minimise disruption to local people.
The training was filmed for community safety projects which will be used across the region.
Lee Rogers, Watch Manager at Southmead Fire Station, said: "This type of training and project is designed to improve crews effectiveness, firefighter and community safety, and ensure that we are ready for real life incidents that occur in the area.
"As the number of house fires in the area steadily reduces due to our community safety work, it is crucial that crews get hands-on experience and that the Service is able to offer as realistic and challenging training as possible.
"It is also an example of us working with the local community, developers and other organisations to ensure better outcomes for the communities we serve. We cannot thank Bromford enough for their help.
Russ Fowler, Director of Strategic Asset Management at Bromford said: "We have an excellent relationship with Avon Fire & Rescue and work with them to refer residents who would benefit from one of their free home fire safety checks. We're delighted that the service was able to make such good use of some of our empty properties to provide firefighters with vital training.
"These properties are due to be demolished as part of our ongoing regeneration programme and will be replaced by 17 new homes."
The homes in Rodney Crescent are part of our ongoing regeneration programme. We've appointed United Living to carry out the work to demolish the existing properties and build the new energy-efficient homes in their place. The 17 new homes are due to be completed by summer 2020.

The shooting accuracy of cluster laser is an important indicator to evaluate the performance of ICF laser devices. By measuring the distribution of the X-ray generated from interaction between the third-harmonic beam and the target, the position information of the third-harmonic beam to the target can be obtained, along with the shooting accuracy. In the beam transmission process, the fundamental, second-harmonic beams and the third-harmonic beams approach to the target at the same time generating spurious X-ray. Based on the radiation fluid, the present paper is to assess the effect of the stray light on the performance of the shooting accuracy. The intensity distribution and power density of the fundamental, second-harmonic and third-harmonic beams at the target position were calculated for the SG-III laser device using SG-99 software. The characteristics of X-ray generated by the different beams radiation are simulated by one-dimensional radiation fluid program MULTI 1D. The results show that the power density of the fundamental, the second-harmonic and third-harmonic beams at the target position are, under the condition of typical shooting precision test (infused fundamental energy of 50J and pulse width is 200ps) 0.28GW / s / cm2 , 0.14GW / s / cm2 , 99GW / s / cm2 , respectively. The X-ray energy intensity radiated from the interaction between the third-harmonic beam and target is 104 times of that from the fundamental, second-harmonic beam. In the current optical system configuration conditions of SG-III laser device, the effects of the fundamental and second-harmonic beams on the target accuracy test can be ignored.


If you have been reading my blog for awhile my knack for cleaning should come as no surprise to you. A pro will have the supplies and know-how to finish deep cleaning or spring cleaning speedily and beautifully, so you can maintain on top of the rest of your schedule and still enjoy a clean house. The very first and foremost step that ought to be taken towards cleaning silver coins is the most secure and gentle approach of brushing them with a toothbrush with soft bristles. Jac Larry and Debi have offered complete housecleaning services on a weekly basis.
I do believe that cleaning is extremely therapeutic, and that it is great for absolutely everyone to take handle of some amount of their personal residence cleaning responsibilities! About a year ago I had shared cleaning recipes and a strategy that was functioning for us at the time. For much more stubborn limescale in kettles pour the vinegar into the kettle and leave it for 30 minutes even though the vinegar dissolves. Other places of your property are usually forgotten about when it comes to Spring Cleaning. The well being of your two youngsters certainly comes 1st, and unfortunately there's too many damaging cleaning goods on the market place.
I've noticed it suggested that friends could trade housecleaning, each and every cleaning the other's residence. As in, this queen of checklists decided that nothing was a lot more deserving of a checklist than my cleaning routine. Pure vinegar sprayed on the mildew and grout can be left to sit for a while before it is scrubbed off.
If you have your personal tried and true methods for cleaning cabinet hardware, tell us about it. We really like to hear new suggestions, especially if they've currently been experimented on an individual else! If all goes effectively, drain the aquarium, rinse it out a few times to be sure any residual vinegar is gone, then set it up in its location. In truth, thanks to Clarke's advent of BOOST® technologies, green cleaning is a lot more efficient than ever. Ceiling fans and light fixtures can be dusted when or twice a month, and you can plan these cleanings as shown in the cleaning checklist sample under.

Sally Harrell has a record of fighting for these and other important social issues in Georgia in her previous tenure in the legislature. I know we can count on her to make sure that our voting rights and our democracy are protected, despite Republican meddling from her opponent and his leaders. It's time to reject the hate spread by the far right, and embrace the expertise, compassion, and clarity of purpose Sally Harrell will bring to Georgia State Senate District 40."

"I strongly endorse Sally Harrell for Georgia Senate District 40. As a DeKalb County Commissioner, I worked with Sally on local issues when she was in the Georgia House of Representatives. Sally is a true leader. She broke barriers for women in government by being the first woman in Georgia's legislature to serve while becoming a new mother. She leads by example and works to bring attention to issues that aren't commonly brought to the table — such as healthcare for women and children. She has always worked to make sure government is accessible to the people."
Hank JohnsonU.S. Representative, 4th District
"I'm proud to support Sally Harrell for Georgia Senate District 40. She will be a champion for fair maps and will help ensure the citizens of Georgia are able to vote in fair elections for the next decade. If we are going to fix the Republican gerrymandering that has plagued our democracy, we need to ensure Democrats have a seat at the table when new maps are drawn in 2021. Sally will work on behalf of all Georgians to make sure their voice and their vote counts."
Eric H. Holder, Jr.Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee
"I am proud to endorse Sally Harrell for Georgia Senate. An experienced advocate and problem solver, Sally has dedicated her life to public service. She will build bridges in Senate and work toward common sense solutions to our state's problems. She will also never waver on defending America's promise of freedom and opportunity for all."
Elena ParentState Senator, District 42
"The Georgia Senate needs Sally's unique voice. As a social worker, Sally has the depth of experience needed to be a voice that minorities can count on — to listen, to understand, and to thoughtfully represent their views. She understands the effects of wealth inequality on basic, human needs and has the skill to translate her progressive values into sound, state-level policy."
Emanuel JonesState Senator, District 10
We can win back Georgia! That's why I'm endorsing Sally Harrell for Georgia State Senate District 40. With Sally's candidacy, we have a critical opportunity to gain another seat and another voice for progress in the Georgia General Assembly.
Jason CarterState Senator

Café Equilibrium is a cute little place located in Isla Vista. They have a wide range of teas and coffees available plus sandwiches, crepes, and even gelato!!
The employees are always very friendly and in relation to other restaurants or coffee shops in IV, Equilibrium is relatively quiet.
It's not the most dynamic or inspiring environment for me to work in, but if you want a quiet place to grab a snack or brunch with friends it's a solid option.
Nothing can quite compare to Caje's hours. The café is open until 1 AM and is, believe it or not, usually busy that late!! With free wifi, friendly baristas, and a really unique menu of teas it's hard to find anything to complain about.
One thing I will mention is that seating is fairly limited during busier hours ((ie. lunch)) or when it's raining ((most of the seating is outside)). However, if you can find a table and have work to get done Caje is an ace place!!
If you're looking for something a little higher in quality and sophistication French Press is where to find just that. I feel like when it comes to their menu it's quality over quantity. Although they don't offer as large a range of items as the other two cafes, they are accommodating and will do their best to create whatever drink you desire.
They play the best music from The Rolling Stones to Milky Chance, and the big windows, minimalist aesthetic, and intentional empty space really gets my creativity flowing. I often spend 3 - 5 hours at French Press working and to me that's the mark of an excellent café.

Meet Miss Kitty. If any cat deserved to be fostered by and offered for adoption by a Border Collie rescue she is the one. Kitty was found as a kitten and bottle fed and raised by an older gentleman. She has lived with him as his companion for the past 5 years. Due to health issues and no fault of her own, Kitty's daddy can no longer care for her.
Kitty is now living with her foster family who have 4 Border Collies and another cat. She is still very timid over her new living arrangements and missing her daddy. She does ok with the other animals in the house as long as they do not get aggressive with her. The on one she has really had any problem with is the kitten who is acting very territorial with her. The dogs don't seem to bother her. She has warmed up to her foster dad before mom but she lived her whole life with a man so that is to be expected. She is very affectionate once she warms up to you.
She is litter box trained, spayed and UTD on her shots. She has lived her whole life inside and so far seems to have very good house manners. Won't you please give Miss Kitty a new home of her own?
Kitty is available for a discounted adoption donation of $150. Interested applicants are asked to visit our Website to complete an Adoption Application.

"It is patently clear that the stop-start approach to hospital waiting lists has failed dismally. Ad-hoc ministerial initiatives have had no lasting impact. What is required is fundamental reform of the way we provide healthcare and an end to the inefficient and inequitable two-tier system", said Deputy Shortall.
Abolish the private-patient income targets for public hospitals as these incentivise the admission of private patients over public patients in public hospitals. The spare capacity in private hospitals can be used for private patients while public beds will be freed up for public patients.
Deal with the 500+ delayed discharges by funding adequate homecare services and step-down facilities. The freeing up of these beds would allow significant progress to be made in tackling the waiting lists.
Designate one hospital in each hospital group for elective-only work without the pressure of EDs or the complications of hospital infections.
Accelerate the process of moving diagnostics and chronic disease management into the community and incentivise primary care staff to do this work and thereby take pressure off hospitals.
"All of these actions, and more, are outlined in the Slaintecare report. It is now time for the Taoiseach to adopt the report, establish the Implementation Office and start the process of real reform", concluded Deputy Shortall.

What is the easiest thing to make for breakfast? Alpha-bits would be the easiest, except that there seems to be a shortage in the Detroit area these days (I'm not kidding and I like a bigger breakfast. Generally I make bacon, eggs and cantaloupe and I've got the timing down (shower on, bacon on stove, shower, flip bacon, get ready, bacon in oven on plate, egg in pan, cut cantaloupe, get ready a little more, flip egg, pour juice, get napkins & silverware, get egg and eat!) so it's pretty easy.
What is the easiest thing to make for lunch? Bratwurst (on the grill).
What is the easiest thing to make for dinner? Steak and veggies. One on the grill while the other is in the microwave.

What is the easiest thing to fold? Sheets – they just get rumpled it and shoved in the closet.

ANIXTER, EDWARD.
ANIXTER--Edward. The leadership and staff of the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science deeply mourn the passing of Edward Anixter, a member of the American Committee's national Board of Directors and the President's Circle. Edward's longstanding support of the Weizmann Institute of Science reflected a commitment to the future of Science for the Benefit of Humanity and showed great sensitivity towards the individuals working towards it. Among his significant gifts to the Institute were the Anixter Family Foundation Early Childhood Village and the Edith and Edward F. Anixter Postdoctoral Fellowship. Edward's devotion to the Weizmann Institute lives on through his son and daughter, Steven Anixter and Joann Silva, to whom we send heartfelt condolences. May they and the entire family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Lawrence S. Blumberg Chairman, American Committee Pennie Abramson President, American Committee Marshall S.

Q: UITableView: stop auto scrolling beyond selected position I have a grouped UITableView which displays a number of cells, which includes both normal (text) cells as well as one with an UIImageView and another with a MKMapView.  The cells are being used conceptually to show the user different parts of an area (such as description etc, in the text cells) as well as the location (MKMapView) and an image of the area (UIImageView).  The whole table of cells spans several screens.
When I scroll the UITableview, it seems to automatically scroll beyond where I stop scrolling or to scroll back the way it came.  I have pagingEnabled = NO.
It is almost as though the UITableView is trying to show parts of the cells if I haven't scrolled far enough (or too far), and is automatically scrolling the view.
Please can someone explain why it is behaving this way and how to make it stop?

A: Actually, it turns out that the behaviour is due to the simulator.  To drag in the sim, you click with the mouse and then move.  I thought I had been dragging, but in actual fact I was scrolling the window by using a two fingered motion on the mac touchpad.  I think this is viewed by the simulator as something other than just a simple scrolling motion.

Blue Dogs Add Four Members
By Daniel Newhauser
Posted January 15, 2014 at 6:39pm
The embattled House Blue Dog Coalition of centrist Democrats has added four members, its co-chairmen announced Wednesday.
Reps. Kyrsten Sinema and Ron Barber, both of Arizona, along with Cheri Bustos of Illinois and Nick J. Rahall II of West Virginia joined the group, bringing its ranks to 19 members, according to a release from the group, up from its lowest-ever level of just 15 members.
The once-powerful group has seen its influence on Capitol Hill wane along with its ranks in recent years. Peaking at 54 members in the 111th Congress, its ranks of moderate and conservative Democrats were decimated by Republicans in 2010.
The group reached its peak in influence during the health care debate, moving the Democratic Caucus to the center, with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., regularly meeting with its members regularly to bargain for support.
The group was facing the possibility of dipping even lower in numbers next year. Since the start of 2014, two of its longtime members announced they will retire at the end of this session: Reps. Jim Matheson of Utah and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina. A third Blue Dog, Rep. Michael H. Michaud, is running for Maine's governorship.
And in fact, the group still faces the prospect of heading into the 114th Congress with fewer members. Barber, Sinema and Rahall face some of the most difficult re-election prospects of any representatives, and other members of the coalition, such as Reps. John Barrow of Georgia and Pete Gallego of Texas, are among the GOP's top targets.
Still, the group's co-chairmen — Barrow, Jim Cooper of Tennessee and Kurt Schrader of Oregon — cast their presence on the Hill as a necessary counterbalance to the gridlock and partisanship of the past few years. Barrow noted their regular meetings with a like-minded group of Republican moderates.
"As Blue Dogs, we continue to meet regularly with the Republican Tuesday Group to find commonsense solutions that both parties can agree on, and we welcome any Democrat who values this approach to policy-making," he said in the statement.


Strongly supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development, the French Embassy in Bucharest and the French Institute of Romania, the Law College offers courses with a duration of 3 to 5 years, with double degrees Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne - Bucharest (Bachelor's degree, Master 1, Master 2), which can be supplemented with PhD studies (within the College's Doctoral and Postdoctoral Institute).
Located within the Law school of the University of Bucharest, the College of Law welcomes, on average, 250 students per year. The graduates are now lawyers (usually within renowned Romanian or international firms), judges, corporate lawyers, or they - a quarter of them - have integrated the highest functions in public administration, in Romania (Foreign affairs, Minsitry of Justice...) as well as in international or european organisations. Others integrated, as professors and researchers, the most famous universities in Romania, France and elsewhere (King's College London, Boston University...).
As an official recognition of the academic and scientific success of the French - Romanian Law College of European Studies, the President of Romania decorated the College for the second time in May 2015, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary.


Roads and highways, both rural and urban, can be found across the United States today, but the unfortunate truth is that these roads are not always safe to drive on, and even pedestrians and bicyclists are sometimes at risk of sustaining damage from semi truck accidents or distracted driving or worse. Trucks, cars, and motorcycles can all cause an accident on the road if someone was operating a motor vehicle while impaired, and distracted driving is also a recent but common problem, and sometimes, even the weather can be the issue, with slick roads and poor visibility. Trucks may cause the most damage due to their size and momentum; damage from semi truck collisions can be serious to other vehicles or property, and whenever there is a crash on American roads, someone may get injured or even killed. If a driver or pedestrian is hurt from damage from semi truck incidents or drunk drivers, what should they do next after they recover from their injuries? Personal injury law can be the route to a fair settlement, and a person can visit an injury law firm to find an attorney who specializes in such cases who can be a big help.
A number of factors can lead to accidents and injuries on the road, and many statistics are compiled every year to keep track of what is happening on American roads. Drunk driving is a common culprit; many thousands of people drive drunk in the United States every day, but only a fraction of them are arrested for this illegal behavior. Even if a collision does not occur, driving with a BAC (blood alcohol content) above 0.08% is a crime, and in some states or areas, the threshold may be even lower than that. Some drivers believe that they can safely drive "buzzed," but this is also very dangerous and could easily result in a crash. 1.5 million drunk drivers are arrested every year, but many others are not, so other drivers should be wary of them at all times.
Distracted driving is a relatively recent phenomenon but no less dangerous. This describes when a driver is occupied with a handheld electronic device such as a cell phone or is using the car's dashboard features, and therefore is not watching the road and will react too late to sudden developments. Such drivers may drift out of their lanes, run red lights, and worst of all, hit other vehicles, pedestrians, or property. Just like with drunk driving, there are laws against cell phone use while driving.
Finally, the weather itself may be an issue. Even if no one on the road is drunk or distracted, accidents with cars or trucks are more likely due to the slick conditions and reduced visibility cause by heavy rain or snow, so drivers should take caution. Damage from semi truck accidents may be more likely if the roads are icy or if a truck driver cannot see cars through torrential rain.
Trucking accidents, cars hitting pedestrians, and more results in injuries, and any injured party will want legal aid. A victim will benefit greatly from the lawyer's assistance, such as the attorney's clear-headed, objective approach to the case, and by contrast, the victim may be too emotionally riled to pursue litigation alone. What is more, in a case (trial or not), the insurance company of the at-fault party may act in bad faith and refuse to cooperate, and this can stonewall a victim acting alone, and a case with multiple parties can overwhelm a victim acting alone. However, a car accident attorney will have the expertise and experience to deal with complicated cases like those and reach the settlement.
Finding a lawyer is a matter of looking up the right law firms that specialize in auto accidents and damage, such as damage from semi truck collisions or cars hitting pedestrians. The client may get consultations with the attorneys there (which may or may not cost a fee), and find a lawyer whose skills, experience, success rate, and personality are all to the client's liking. They must trust each other and be able to build an effective case so that a settlement can be reached.
