I don't know what the weather will be like when you read this, but I'm writing this on March 12, in the midst of the worst storm we've had this winter in what has been the harshest winter we've had in years. Spring officially starts in just a few days. But winter keeps hanging on. I wonder when it will end.
Yesterday I noticed shoots from a couple of bulbs in my garden were poking through. It was a fleeting moment. They are already covered with snow. Yet I do know the winter will end and the spring will come along bringing new life.
We are currently in the midst of Lent. Lent is a time when we look at our lives, admit what is lacking, and seek to open ourselves to new or renewed life in Christ. We may look at ourselves and the world around us and wonder if there is any hope. As Christians we believe that Jesus was born, lived, died on a cross and rose again conquering evil and death and initiating the Kingdom of God. Yet still we see brokenness and evil everywhere we turn. Even so, there are signs, fleeting though they may be, that what we see around us is not the ultimate reality. We see it whenever we see a selfless act of love. The day is coming when all will be set right. And ultimately Easter confirms it. Christ is risen! Alleluia!
May you know the joy of life in the risen Lord today and always.

Die Seeschlacht von Myongnyang war eine Seeschlacht im Rahmen des Imjin-Kriegs. Sie fand am 26. Oktober 1597 (16. Tag im 9. Monat nach dem chinesischen Kalender) zwischen einer japanischen Seeflotte und der koreanischen Seeflotte in der Meerenge von Myongnyang statt. Diese Schlacht zählt aufgrund des zahlenmäßigen Ungleichgewichts der beteiligten Streitkräfte zu den bemerkenswertesten Seesiegen der Militärgeschichte.

Vorgeschichte
Während des ersten Invasionsversuchs in Korea durch Toyotomi Hideyoshis Armee im Jahre 1592 hatte die japanische Streitmacht wegen des maroden Zustands der koreanischen Armee und Militärbürokratie ursprünglich große Erfolge erzielen können. Doch der koreanische Marinekommandeur Yi Sun-sin hatte Weitsicht gezeigt und sich auf eine Invasion durch japanische Truppen gut vorbereitet. Dank seiner strategischen Umsicht, dem intensiven Gebrauch von Kanonen und einer neuen Sorte von Kampfschiffen gelang es Yi, die Versorgung der Invasionsarmee, welche über das Meer erfolgen musste, dort auch bei zahlenmäßig größeren Flottenverbänden ernsthaft zu gefährden. In Japan begann man daher berechtigterweise, Admiral Yi als einzige ernsthafte Bedrohung für die Annexion von China und Korea anzusehen, wodurch er ins Fadenkreuz der japanischen Entscheidungsträger geriet.

Um ihn unschädlich zu machen, wurde 1597 ein Doppelagent zum koreanischen Königshof entsandt, der König Seonjo weismachen sollte, dass die japanische Flotte zu einem gewissen Zeitpunkt einen Großangriff starten wolle. Wie erwartet, befahl Seonjo Admiral Yi, die japanische Flotte abzufangen und zu vernichten. Yi weigerte sich jedoch, dem Befehl nachzukommen, da er der Nachricht nicht traute und das Gebiet, in dem die Landung angeblich stattfinden solle, zu tückisch war, um es zu befahren. Seonjo wollte ihn daraufhin wegen Hochverrats zum Tode verurteilen. Jedoch hatte Yi beim Volk und einigen hohen Beamten, darunter seinem alten Kindheitsfreund und damaligen Premierminister Ryu Seong-ryong, große Sympathien errungen, und um keinen Aufstand zu riskieren, befahl Seonjo ihn stattdessen zu einer Folterstrafe und einer anschließenden Degradierung zum einfachen Soldaten. An seiner Stelle wurde General Won Gyun, ein Kollege und Rivale Yis, zum Admiral der koreanischen Flotte ernannt.

Obwohl Gyun der Nachricht ebenfalls misstraute, folgte er dennoch den Befehlen Seonjos und griff die japanische Flotte in der Seeschlacht von Chilchonryang am 27. August 1597 an. Dabei geriet er jedoch in eine Falle, in der fast die gesamte koreanische Flotte aufgerieben wurde. Insgesamt entkamen auf koreanischer Seite nur zwölf der vormals 169 Schiffe und 200 Mann der Seeschlacht, da deren Befehlshaber Bae Seol die Aussichtslosigkeit der Lage schon vor der Schlacht erkannt hatte und daher bei deren Beginn mit seinen Schiffen vom Schlachtfeld desertierte. Gyun starb kurz nach der Schlacht, nachdem er mit seinem Schiff noch vor Schlachtende zu einer nahegelegenen Insel flüchtete, dort aber dann von den dortigen japanischen Garnisonssoldaten getötet wurde.

Als die Nachricht von Gyuns katastrophaler Niederlage den Königshof erreichte, wurde Yi mit sofortiger Wirkung rehabilitiert und sein Rang als Flottenadmiral wiederhergestellt. Yi sammelte die zwölf verbliebenen Schiffe um sich, und es gelang ihm sogar, noch ein weiteres Panokseon zu bekommen, das örtliche Handwerker gerade noch hatten fertigstellen können. Durch eine Rekrutierungsmission durch die Provinz Jeolla-do konnte er noch weitere Seesoldaten und Freiwillige um sich sammeln, bis er eine Mannstärke von 1500 Kämpfern erreicht hatte. Als König Seonjo vom erbärmlichen Zustand der Flotte erfuhr, befahl er Yi, die Flotte aufzugeben und sich stattdessen den Landstreitkräften anzuschließen. Doch Yi weigerte sich und teilte dem Königshof mit:

Aufgrund dieser entschlossenen Erklärung revidierte Seonjo seine Entscheidung und erlaubte Yi, seinen Kampf zur See fortzuführen. Bae Seol desertierte am 12. Oktober aufs Neue, wurde jedoch später von den koreanischen Behörden in seinem Heimatort aufgestöbert und wegen Feigheit vor dem Feind exekutiert. Am Abend vor der Schlacht hielt Yi seinen Flottenkommandeuren eine zugleich anspornende und ermahnende Rede, die zu einer seiner meistzitierten Ansprachen gehört:

Als die Nachricht von Yis Wiedereinstellung die Japaner erreichte, sahen die Kommandeure der japanischen Flotte – Tōdō Takatora, Katō Yoshiaki, Wakisaka Yasuharu und Kurushima Michifusa – sich versucht, Yi und der koreanischen Flotte den Todesstoß zu versetzen, und brachen mit über 330 Schiffen, die ursprünglich zur Versorgung des japanischen Eroberungskorps für Hansong vorgesehen waren, von ihrem Stützpunkt in Busan auf. Ein kleines japanisches Kundschaftergeschwader stöberte Yis Flotte am 17. Oktober auf, wurde aber schnell in die Flucht geschlagen. Um die gewaltige Übermacht des Feindes auszugleichen, lockte Yi die Japaner zur Seestraße von Myongnyang zwischen der Insel Jindo und der koreanischen Halbinsel.

Schlachtverlauf
Durch genaue Nachforschungen und die Informationen der Ortsansässigen hatte Yi die Meerenge gezielt als den Ort für die bevorstehende Schlacht ausgewählt. Die Strömung in dieser Enge war stark, tückisch und wechselte mehrmals am Tag die Richtung. Zudem war der Kanal sehr schmal, was die numerische Überlegenheit der Japaner beeinträchtigen würde.

Die Japaner, immer noch siegesgewiss nach ihrem Erfolg bei Chilchonryang und angesichts der augenscheinlichen Unterlegenheit Yis, drangen gruppenweise in die Straße ein, als die Strömung günstig für ihren Vorstoß lief. Yi erwartete sie am anderen Ende mit seinen Schiffen vor Anker. Als die Schiffe der japanischen Flottenspitze schließlich in den Engpass gerieten, begannen sie sich, bedingt durch die Strömung, ineinander zu verkeilen; daraufhin gab Yi seiner Flotte den Befehl, das Feuer zu eröffnen. Das Kanonenfeuer erzielte eine verheerende Wirkung auf die in der Meerenge zusammengeballte Flotte, und Yi setzte zum Angriff an. Seine Admiräle jedoch, von der Übermacht des Feindes eingeschüchtert, zögerten zunächst, den Angriff mitzumachen, so dass Yis Schiff schnell eingekreist wurde.

In diesem Dilemma kam Yi der Umstand zu Hilfe, dass ein im Wasser treibender Leichnam als Kurushima Michifusa identifiziert wurde, der bereits in der ersten Phase der Schlacht ums Leben gekommen war. Yi ließ den Leichnam aus dem Meer fischen und den Kopf an der Spitze des Schiffsmastes aufhängen, was die Moral der japanischen Soldaten erheblich sinken ließ, und das Durchhaltevermögen des Flaggschiffs in selbst dieser verzweifelten Lage bewegte allmählich auch die anderen koreanischen Kommandeure dazu, in die Schlacht einzugreifen. Als sich die Strömung im Kanal schließlich wieder drehte, liefen die havarierten japanischen Schiffe konsequenterweise auf ihre nachfolgenden Einheiten auf, was ein heilloses Chaos unter den Japanern auslöste. Gleichzeitig nutzte Yi die wechselnde Strömung für einen Frontalangriff, der der Feindflotte sehr effektiv zusetzte und sie schließlich zum Rückzug zwang.

Von den 133 japanischen Kampfschiffen, die direkt an der Schlacht teilnahmen, wurden 31 noch vor Ort versenkt und wahrscheinlich weitere 92 so schwer beschädigt, dass sie nach der Schlacht aufgegeben werden mussten. Auf japanischer Seite kamen zudem neben Kurushima noch mehrere tausend Soldaten ums Leben; viele von ihnen ertranken, da sie in der tückischen Strömung der Meerenge nicht schwimmen konnten, nachdem sie über Bord gefallen waren. Die Koreaner hingegen verloren nur eine Handvoll Männer und kein einziges ihrer Schiffe.

Anmerkungen zum Schlachtverlauf
Einigen moderneren Ansichten nach erlaubte die Enge des Kanals Yi, über dessen volle Breite hinweg mehrere Stahlseile unter der Wasseroberfläche spannen zu lassen, welche zusammen mit der Strömung die Japaner am Manövrieren hindern sollten. Jedoch ist der Kanal mit circa 300 Metern Breite zu weit, um die Verwendung von ausreichend starken Seilen/Ketten für eine derartige Operation zu erlauben, und für die Beschaffung solcher Trossen war nicht genügend Zeit vorhanden, um sie vor dem Beginn des Gefechts zur Verfügung zu haben und in Bereitschaft zu bringen. In Yis Kriegstagebuch Nanjung Ilgi wird eine solche Taktik auch nicht erörtert und muss daher als fiktiv eingestuft werden.
In moderneren Darstellungen der Schlacht wird Kurushima Michifusa als der Daimyo genannt, dessen Kopf als Trophäe auf Yis Flaggschiff endete. Zeitgenössische Berichte jedoch – darunter Yis Kriegstagebuch und das Chinbirok ("Buch der Verbesserungen") von Yu Song-nyon – sprechen stattdessen von einem gewissen Kano Matashiro (von den Koreanern und Chinesen "Matashi" geschrieben). Ob es sich um zwei verschiedene Benennungen derselben Person oder um zwei verschiedene Personen handelt, ist nicht bekannt.

Auswirkungen
Die verheerende japanische Niederlage bei Myongnyang beeinflusste nicht nur die militärischen und logistischen Auswirkungen auf beiden Seiten des Krieges nachhaltig, sondern wirkte sich auch sehr auf deren Moral aus. Zudem bewies diese Schlacht einmal mehr das Geschick von Admiral Yi und wird aufgrund des eingangs so ungleichen Verhältnisses der beiden Streitkräfte als eine Meisterleistung der Kriegsführung angesehen.

Für die japanische Landstreitmacht bedeutete dieser koreanische Seesieg eine erhebliche Behinderung der Versorgung ihrer Militäroperationen. Die bereits angesetzte Eroberung der Hauptstadt Hanseong wurde durch die Niederlage auf unbestimmte Zeit ausgesetzt, und die japanischen Landtruppen mussten sich schließlich zurückziehen. Des Weiteren verlor die japanische Seestreitmacht die Seeherrschaft über die Gewässer nahe Korea, was China dazu ermunterte, größere Truppenverbände zur Unterstützung Koreas zu entsenden, und den Koreanern erlaubte, ihre Flotte wieder auszubauen. Die japanische Armee verlor im Verlauf der nächsten Monate mehr und mehr an Boden in Korea, bis sie nur noch ein paar vereinzelte Stützpunkte an der Südküste des Landes hielt und im Folgejahr schließlich den vollständigen Rückzug antrat.

Als unmittelbare Konsequenz auf die Niederlage Japans wurde von den japanischen Befehlshabern entschieden, eine Racheexpedition nach Yis Wohnort Asan durchzuführen, wo sie das Dorf niederbrannten und Yis jüngsten Sohn Myon ermordeten (23. November 1597; der 14. Tag des 10. Monats nach dem chinesischen Kalender).

Heutige Ansichten
An der Stelle der Seeschlacht wurde zur Erinnerung das Monument Myeongnyangdaecheopbi errichtet und 1969 zum 503. Nationalen Kulturschatz erklärt. Noch heute wird der Sieg an dieser Stelle mit einem alljährlichen Festival gefeiert.

Homes are hot again, and values have been creeping back up for years. In some markets, values have even been restored to pre-recession peaks and beyond.
One challenge in the Dayton area, however, has been a relative lack of inventory of available homes, Realtors have told this media outlet for months.
That squeezed inventory tends to drive prices up, creating a seller's market and forcing shoppers to move quickly when they find the home that's right for them.
Compounding the problem has a slowing in the building of new homes.
Here's what area home builders and market observers have been telling us: READ MORE.


Other than the Magnificent Golden Temple and stimulus to the Freedom Struggle of India- the Jallianwala Bagh, much of world knew Amritsar as the place of renowned ophthalmologist Dr Daljit Singh, the inimitable surgeon and researcher who revolutionized eye care for the world.
"Being true to your Profession is the Biggest Patriotism!" Dr Daljit Singh believed, and followed this focus throughout his glorious innings.
True to his words his children Dr Ravijit Singh Dr Kiranjit Singh completed their surgeries while Dr Indu and Dr Seema prepared Dr Daljit Singh's body for his last Journey, to join in, when he quietly passed away, after being in coma for a week.
This amply exhibits the dedication of this family towards a lofty mission of attending to the suffering, keeping all else on hold, before proceeding to their various tasks and toils.
Dr Ravijit Singh took the mike on the last condolence meet of the Bhog Ceremony of his beloved father Dr Daljit Singh- "Every father is a Superman for his children", he started.
As a boy nick named Ghuggu since he spoke nearly a year after his birth on 11 October 1934, Ghuggu became Daljit Singh, born to Sahib Singh, a Sikh academic of Sikh literature.
In the eyes of his children, he was a 'Super Son' who served his parents through their long illnesses.
Ravijit extolled, peeling away bit by bit to share hidden glimpses of the life and memories of his father, before a crowd of nearly 5000 people gathered, to pay respects to Amritsar's Lofty son Dr Daljit Singh.
Our father was a – 'Super Student' making sketches of his teachers who often shunted him out of their class and like Aamir Khan of Three Idiots – a born learner, who would sit in the library and score more marks than the best of them!
A 'super husband' who had a love marriage in such times as in 1957. Dr Daljit wrote in his fiancée Sawarn's gifted diary– 'Professional competence is the best Patriotism' and stood by it throughout.
A 'super sportsman' wherein his sons couldn't beat him in carom, chess, table tennis or Billiards. A city club etched Dr Daljit Singh's name twice as a Billiards Champion.
A 'Super worker' who worked 16-18 hours a day and rose at the crack of dawn.
A 'Super Innovator' who picked up a liquid from a dentist's table and used it to create his revolutionary first intraocular lens.
A 'Super Ophthalmologist' who needs no introduction suffice to say, he won the Padam Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, in 1987. A Dr BC Roy Award credited with isolating three new genes causing congenital cataract and invented "plasma scalpel" for glaucoma and cataract surgery and pioneered a number of innovative and revolutionary surgical instruments.
At the same time a 'Super instrumentalist', who played the harmonium, the Tablaa, the flute and eventually left the world trying to master the elusive saxophone.
A 'Super Techno' who mastered every new technological innovation that emerged– "He would tell me my laptop or mobile needs upgradation, which meant that he was going to pass on his old laptop or phone to me to buy a new one for himself," Dr Ravijit inserted with a smile.
A "Super Wi-Fi" with a super antenna to connect to people, track a needy, and help him without boasting. Keeping a Thursday free OPD for poor patients, since years. Also, helping hundreds of Kashmiri boys with pellet injuries who came in droves from trouble torn Kashmir valley. Many a times the family encouraged victims towards the path of education instead of a pointless future in stone pelleting. No wonder, on the sound of my hometown being 'Amritsar', many Kashmiris pounced on – 'Do you know Dr Daljit Singh?', during my many trips to Jammu and Kashmir. Dr Daljit Singh's crowning glory was however restoring vision of 11 children, who had lost their eyesight in LPG cylinder blast at Independence Day celebrations in Orissa in 1986.
A "Super Painter" who even intended to take a hobby course in painting towards the fag end of his life at the local Thukur Singh Art Gallery and painted 30 water colour landscapes in a go, along with a repertoire of hundreds of sketches, he left behind.
A 'Super Author' who penned over a dozen books on ophthalmology, Dr Singh wrote two poetry and three anthologies of essays: "Sach di Bhal Vich" (In search of truth), "Dooja Passa"(The other side) and "Badi di Jarh" (The root of evil) to educate rural masses about national and international issues. Noted Punjabi author and close friend Kulbir Singh Suri, son of late legendary Punjabi novelist Nanak Singh, said- Dr Singh wrote a book titled 'Naroi Akh' (Healthy Eye) in Punjabi decades ago. His three poetry books —'Dharti Tirhai', 'Sidhre Bol' and 'Babre Bol' have been translated into Urdu, English and Hindi.
'Super Simple' with no clue of his shirt matching his trousers or turban; often a red socks synchronised his step with a blue one.
And towards the conclusion when I and many amongst us assumed that the last Super-lative by Ravijit would be "Dr Daljit Singh was a 'Super-Human!", Dr Ravijit surprised us by adding –Our father was a "Super Teacher" – One who loved teaching, spreading, sharing his vast knowledge in the most simplistic way with everyone including on topics as diverse as economics, politics, finance, anything.
It is not every day a true human is born, with all his fullness, feelings, faults and fallacies.
In 2007-08, Dr Daljit Singh made noble efforts to set up a speciality charitable eye hospital in Nankana Sahib Pakistan along with a university to be named Guru Nanak Dev University in Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of the founder Sikh Guru Nanak Dev along with his Pak friend Prof TH Kirmani. Even offering to send Indian doctors to tutor Pak doctors and bring excellent eye care to the sacred land of Sikhs. Lamentingly, the agreement fell through. The demarcated land donated by a local resident Fazal Rabbani was occupied by Pak army and relations soured, over the years between the two nations.
At another juncture, Dr Daljit Singh, the surgeon, with as sharp a wit and forthrightness as his invented scalpel, remained unmindful of anyone's stature or status and therefore couldn't successfully win the diplomatic and flattery-ridden field of politics as an AAP candidate.
Alternately, he snatched 80,000 votes, a clean sweep by many standards as a greenhorn in politics, during MP elections 2014, from political heavyweights Arun Jaitley- and Capt Amarinder Singh- who went on to become Union Finance Minister and Chief Minister of Punjab, respectively. Dr Singh intended to bring clean governance from a political platform but couldn't be manipulated to tell lies, half-truths or stoop to briberies.
Even though holding abhorrence for the political climate of our country, I became Dr Daljit Singh's Media Manager, solely because he was a father figure to me. And I landed an opportunity to relive some times of our childhood days with him. In the late 60s and early 70s, Dr Daljit occasionally bicycled to our home from the Government Eye hospital opposite our house.
As children then, we lined up to see his bicycle with gears, a rare contraption those times, that held contiguous fascination for me for a long time. Sometimes he even took a shot at our Table Tennis table and once took multiple close-shot pictures of my sister's hazel eyes, ever since, he focused they possessed rare blue specs in them.
"Fer Chaa piyao!" he would say on a rare chilly evening, while visiting home. And merrily slurp his tea, savouring every masala and mazaa of it.
On a closer note Dr Daljit told me – 'Tu acha likhdi hain' that sounded in present times like the Dangal 'Shabaash' of Mahavir Singh Phogat to his daughter Geeta winning the gold. And in return – 'le meri kitab par' and handed me a number of his books written by him originally in Punjabi.
Dr Daljit Singh's family -Dr Ravjit Singh and Dr Kiranjit Singh – and daughters-in-law, Dr Indu R Singh and Dr Seema Singh, form a formidable team of eye surgeons.
On my visit to Dr Daljit Singh's home after his passing away, I could sense that the home still held his warmth of touches, thoughts, his genius, and ensconced his family most lovingly.
I wish, I could bring that warmth in my home with one of his paintings, to get inspired by the Master by his Master strokes, never saying adieu to him.
RIP renowned Ophthalmologist and Surgeon Dr Daljit Singh.
He was a multifaceted personality who lived for others.
The cause of humanity was very dear to him.
He was a wonderful painter, thought provoking author, poet and above all a super human being .
I'm sorry to hear of Dr. Daljit Singh's passing away. He was an institution in himself. Rashmi thank you for a very thoughtful and comprehensive tribute to the great personality.
A great loss. Kashmiri eye patients will miss him a lot.
I'm learning about his passing here. Thanks for writing this, Rashmi. He made it a point to visit us when he was visiting his in-laws. I knew of him as a renowned doctor, but learnt in the last few years about his various other passions. Such a renaissance personality! Last I talked to him was when he insisted on face timing with me on one of his relative's phone when he learnt I was with her at a get together last year. And he wanted to know what I was working on and how he could send his books over to me. Feels so sad that had to hear about it on FB. RIP.
A touching piece about a great and inspiring achiever.
He seems to be a man of multiple talents and excelling in each of them. God bless his noble soul !!!
A heart touching tribute to a legend..
Respect Regards to the noble soul ..
A standing ovation for sir which goes on and on and on……..
Really Rashmi you've put across everything about his glorious life so well… May his soul rest in peace and may God give his lovedones the courage to bear this great loss.
A big salute to this amazing man!!
Beautiful write up Rashmi of a great human being. Thanks for sharing and letting us know more about him .
Indeed a great man he was! You have described him aptly Rush!
Such a towering personality. A genius. Feel proud to have lived in his times. His family is continuing the tradition.
May Dr Daljit Singh's soul rest in peace! What an inspiring life-journey…. so well encapsulated by his son and Rashmi!
Heartfelt condolences to the family….May his Soul rest in peace.
Very well written. A generation of patients from j&k especially jammu have had their surgeries at this Hospital. Professionaly very competent doctor and the hospital had reasonable fee. May the soul of the great doctor rest in peace.
You are right Rashmi Doctor sahib was a man above all of Amritsar nay Punjab men. What to talk of acedemics, even people from political arena don't stand near Doctor. He was Superman not for his children alone he was pride of Punjabis. We felt his every breath was for the downtrodden. He was really a genius and innovative quite naturally.
Rashmi you are a writer quite naturally.

5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Omar Tyree, author of Corrupted
Omar Tyree, author of Corrupted
(Omar Tyree, Inc.)
In an era where hundreds of aspiring writers play an anxious game of musical chairs to entice a shrinking group of New-York-based book editors to buy their freshly printed manuscripts and grant their dreams of becoming nationally published authors, Vincent Biddle reigns supreme.
Coined the man with the "golden eye", in the past decade, Vincent, a native Bronx, New Yorker, has hand-picked, edited and positioned more than a dozen bestselling books from his stable of authors, while generating more than a hundred million dollars in revenue for the Williams & Klein Publishing Group.
With a tight circle of volatile authors in his midst, their every weakness soon becomes bait to be used against them, while their power-dunk editor assumes a position of absolute authority. And things fall apart around them.
Corrupted, a serial ebook of aspirations, fame, fortune, sex, shame and scandal, as Omar Tyree uncovers the dark, passionate and sinister side of the American publishing industry. Rated R.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Corrupted?
Omar Tyree: I didn't have an idea or an inspiration to write at all. I wanted to play professional football with my life and become a business owner. I attended the University of Pittsburgh and ran track with all intentions to walk-on the football team. Then the politics of sports and education hit me dead in the face, with so many athletes who didn't make the pros and didn't graduate either.
At the same time, I was becoming a very effective writer and speaker on campus my freshman year. I went with my new calling to write and speak instead, and I never looked back.
JP: What sets Corrupted apart from other books in the same genre?
OT: Corrupted is a brand new book concept in a multitude of ways. Number #1, it's a serial book which means it's ongoing and not complete. Number #2 it's an ebook which means you download it and read through your computer sources. Number #3, you can only download a chapter at a time each Friday as I continue to write it.
presently, we're on chapter 4 until this next Friday hits for chapter 5. Number #4 is that each download chapter is only $1. Number #5, as I continue to write and post it for sale, that means you can comment on each new chapter and where the book is headed with what you would like to see or read. I can implement that as I continue to write the next chapters, making the book totally interactive.
And number #6, Corrupted is all about the inside world of the publishing industry, which really makes it interesting for all those folks who would like to be writers themselves or who think about our writing and publishing world.
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led toCorrupted getting out to the public?
OT: Well, it used to be the book and your personality got you over when we all used to get individual attention and do national book signings. But now, with so many new writers popping up every week, and the national book signings not being as exciting as they used to be.
It's all about the word-of-mouth, the heat of your book and how hard you hustle it as a new jack. The new jack hustlers have the advantage these days, but only to a certain degree.
No one is really able to sell big numbers of one book anymore unless you can get the type of individual attention that Steve Harvey got for his best-selling book. That man sold 2 million copies in hardback, but that's after Oprah, Tyra and his own radio show and celebrity lifestyle blew it up that high.
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish Corrupted?
OT: My writing process is generally fast. I will come up with a subject, then a character, then a city, then research the city, the character and the subject. Then I write the book for the next 2-4 months and finish it through the 2-3 month editing period.
Then I get ready to market and promote it, go on tour with it, read it and discuss it with the leadership and media. Then it's on to the next book as a solid and professional career writer.
JP: What's next for Omar Tyree?
OT: Actually, I want to write more non-fiction books now, keep doing the ebook thing, keep hammering at film deals, teach writing and publishing and marketing at the college level, and continue to enjoy my life and all that I've been fortunate to do…

23 February 1951: At Istres, France, Société des Avions Marcel Dassault chief test pilot Konstantin Wladimir ("Kostia") Rozanoff made the first flight of the Mystère MD.452 prototype, F-WFUU, c/n 01. This was a development of the Dassault Ouragan MD.450 with the wings' leading edge swept from 14° to 30°. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine. Rozanoff believed, though it was not confirmed, that he had broken the Sound Barrier.
A series of prototypes were built before the fighter bomber was put into production as the Mystère IIC. 171 were built between 1954 and 1957.
Kostia Rozanoff with the first prototype Dassault Mystère, F-WFUU, c/n 01. (Dassault Aviation)
The Mystère IIC was a single seat, single engine turbojet-powered fighter bomber produced for the Armée de l'Air. It was 38 feet 6 inches (11.735 meters) long with a wingspan of 42 feet, 9 inches (13.030 meters) and overall height of 14 feet (4.267 meters). The fighter had an empty weight of 11,495 pounds (5,214 kilograms) and maximum takeoff weight of 16,480 pounds (7,475 kilograms). The powerplant was a SNECMA ATAR 101D-1 turbojet which produced 6,610 pounds of thrust (29.403 kilonewtons).
The maximum speed of the Mystère IIC was 660 miles per hour (1,062 kilometers per hour). Its range was 550 miles (885 kilometers) and the service ceiling was 50,000 feet (15,240 meters).
The MD.452 was armed with two Direction des Études et Fabrications d'Armement (DEFA) 30mm revolver cannon with 150 rounds of ammunition per gun, and up to 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) of bombs.
The prototype Dassault Mystère, F-WFUU, crashed at Istres 3 March 1953 when a wing tip fuel tank broke away and struck the airplane's tail, killing test pilot Charles Monier.
Kostia Romanoff was killed 3 April 1954 while demonstrating a Mystère IVB.

"Russian Orthodox Church Blocks Funeral for Last of Romanov Remains" – The New York Times
February 17, 2016 February 17, 2016 / debneill
This is really bizarre! "Despite mountains of evidence, the church says it doesn't believe the remains are those of the last czar and his family." No one knows for sure why the Church would deny the scientific evidence for the identity of the Romanov remains. Not that denying scientific evidence isn't unusual for the Church, but in most cases we know why (it contradicts theirs religious dogma). In this case, there are no religious principles on the line. So, what's going on?
The most compelling explanation seems to indicate political motivations. "Rejecting the bones will anger some Orthodox adherents, particularly those outside Russia. Accepting them will incense a conservative domestic faction that believes the Soviet government somehow faked the burial." But without actual evidence, this is only speculation.

When we were in school we learned in Geography that Irish weather was mild moist and changeable, as you can see it was more than moist today and yesterday. The funniest thing though that I have seen is a guy in an agricultural tractor driving people back and forth to the pub. Meanwhile elsewhere a guy I am not sure if he said his name was Noel or Noah is gathering animal's of every variety.
the pictures were taken through a rain soaked windscreen so forgive the quality.
Kilconieron Austin DB9 stuck in flood, he almost made it.
Knocknarea mountain is supposed to be the final resting place of the Warrior Queen Medb (Maeve), this was taken from across the bay in Rosses point. On the top the what looks like a pimple is a burial mound 55 meters wide and 10m in height making it one of the biggest burial mounds in Ireland, outside of the Boyne Valley.
These shots are taken just north of Drumcliff where W.B. Yeats is buried, those words were part of the poem Under Ben Bulben. I know I have taken pics of it before but it is a striking mountain, the way it shoot straight up sharply.
This mill was set up in 1790 by the Alexander family and by 1830 it had a turnover of nearly £200,000, amzing in that the buildings and land were valued in 1853 at £370(not including machinery). It had both an 18 foot and a 22 foot wheel making it one of the largest and most powerful mills in Great Britain and Ireland at the time. In 1862 it was turning out 40 to 50 thousand bags of flour a year when disaster struck. Fire struck in November destroying most of the machinery and a several thousand bags of wheat, but leaving the contents of the office. The fire is thought to have started by a spark of the grinding wheel and burned for several days, it was seen in Carlow town nearly 7 Kilometers away.
This was taken further along the N56 I think at Dunfanaghy.

Around the WCHA: Rivalries kick off new-look league
This will be short. Outside of our tussles with Bemidji State (6-1 and 1-0 losses), it was a very light weekend in the WCHA.
The lone conference series featured another big rivalry: Northern Michigan vs. Michigan Tech. These two virtual neighbors on the Upper Peninsula battled as conference mates for the first time since 1997, when NMU left the WCHA to join the CCHA.
Northern Michigan 2, Michigan Tech 0 (Friday): Mathias Dahlstrom, a redshirt freshman goaltender, got the shutout with 24 saves as NMU won in front of a sellout crowd of 4,290 in Marquette. Stephan Vigier and Brock Maschmeyer got the goals for the Wildcats. USCHO recap
Michigan Tech 4, Northern Michigan 1 (Saturday): The Huskies got revenge when the series shifted to their home in Houghton with the help of two first-period goals from Blake Pietila. Mike Neville assisted on both third-period goals by Alex Petan and David Johnstone to put the game away. USCHO recap
The only other action featuring WCHA teams was Mercyhurst visiting Fairbanks and the Alaska Nanooks.
Alaska 5, Mercyhurst 4 (Friday): Mercyhurst scored four unanswered goals after the Nanooks took the early lead. Then Alaska scored four unanswered goals of their own for the win. Colton Beck netted two third-period goals – one shorthanded and one on the power play – to tie the game, and Cody Kunyk got the game-winner with 1:39 remaining. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner recap
Alaska 3, Mercyhurst 3 (OT, Saturday): Alaska needed another streak of three unanswered goals to erase a 2-0 Laker lead. Mercyhurst tied the game with 10:14 to go with its third power-play goal of the night. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner recap
Alaska-Anchorage, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, and Minnesota State were all idle. All except Lake Superior State will start their conference season this weekend. Bemidji State, in first place in the very early going, hosts in-state rival and conference favorite Minnesota State. Alaska-Anchorage visits Bowling Green, and Northern Michigan goes up to Alaska.
UAH hosts Ferris State this Friday and Saturday at the VBC. Get your tickets now and cheer on the Chargers as they seek their first WCHA wins.

Trump and his lawyers think he can get away with anything. It's outlandish.
Ruth Marcus
Overseeing Washington Post signed opinion content and writing on domestic politics and policy
Deputy editorial page editor
October 25, 2019 at 4:48 PM EDT
This column has been updated.
"The king can do no wrong." That is the ancient legal maxim used to explain why a sovereign should not be held to account for misdeeds. President Trump and his lawyers are now making arguments that make this legal doctrine look wimpy. Their vision boils down to: The king can do whatever wrong he damn pleases, and there's nothing you can do about it.
This approach, aggressive to the point of outlandish, was on florid display in a federal appeals court in New York this week, as the president's private lawyer asserted that, yes, Trump could actually shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue with impunity so long as he is president.
This might sound like a catchy restatement of the generally accepted, although constitutionally untested, wisdom that a sitting president cannot be indicted. But it is actually much worse. Trump lawyer William S. Consovoy was not only asserting that the president is immune from being criminally charged while in office. He was claiming that the president cannot even be investigated.
To understand the radical nature of this claim, consider the setting in which it arose. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is seeking documents — not testimony, just information, including eight years of Trump's tax returns. He is seeking them not from Trump himself but from his accounting firm. They would be protected from disclosure by grand jury secrecy. Apparently, however, the king's business can do no wrong either.
Second, consider the difference between Consovoy's assertion and the approach taken by former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Complying with Justice Department policy, Mueller accepted that Trump couldn't be indicted. But Mueller explained that it was not only permissible to conduct an investigation while Trump was in office, it was also important to collect evidence while it was still fresh. Indeed, the very Justice Department memo on which Mueller relied made clear that a "grand jury could continue to gather evidence throughout the period of [presidential] immunity."
Now comes Consovoy, a former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to claim that the powers of the presidency cannot tolerate Vance's attempted intrusion. This is an astonishing departure from settled law. In U.S. v. Nixon in 1974, a unanimous Supreme Court upheld a subpoena for tapes of the president's private conversations while in office, rejecting "an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." Vance's subpoena, by contrast, calls only for Trump's private records; it would not chill his ability to receive candid advice from aides.
In 1997, again unanimously, the court ruled that another sitting president, Bill Clinton, could be sued for sexual harassment in federal court. Although the decision did not address the question of state lawsuits, it is hard to imagine how a civil lawsuit could be allowed while a grand jury subpoena for his records would go too far. Which is a greater distraction for a sitting president?
The dangerous audacity of Trump's position becomes clear: Whatever information his adversaries are seeking, whether in a lawsuit or a congressional inquiry, they can't have it. And he is making the claim everywhere:
• Trump's private lawyers, backed by the Justice Department, have argued that the House Oversight Committee has no right to obtain records from Trump's accounting firm because its investigation serves "no legitimate legislative purpose" — that is, the records are not being sought as part of an impeachment inquiry. This month, the federal appeals court in Washington rejected this contention.
• Meanwhile, the Justice Department went to court rather than comply with the House Judiciary Committee's request for grand jury materials from the Mueller probe, saying a federal judge was wrong in 1974 in providing Congress materials from the Watergate grand jury. In an opinion Friday, Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell slapped the department down. "The Department of Justice claims that existing law bars disclosure to the Congress of grand jury information," she wrote. "DOJ is wrong. In carrying out the weighty constitutional duty of determining whether impeachment of the President is warranted, Congress need not redo the nearly two years of effort spent on the Special Counsel's investigation, nor risk being misled by witnesses, who may have provided information to the grand jury and the Special Counsel that varies from what they tell" the Judiciary Committee.
• Finally, the White House summarily announced, in a letter from White House Counsel Pat Cipollone to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), that it would not comply with an impeachment proceeding it termed "constitutionally invalid and a violation of due process." Cipollone complained that the House had not voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry — no matter that the text of the Constitution mandates no such vote.
To sum up: The king can't be investigated by law enforcement — nor can the information that law enforcement has gathered about him be turned over to Congress. He can't be required to disclose evidence to lawmakers conducting oversight because they aren't impeaching him — but he won't cooperate with an impeachment inquiry unless the processes comply with his dictates.
L'etat c'est Trump. It will be up to the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court, to tell him otherwise.

Q&A with Steve Nash
Jonathan Zeller
Hoops fans know Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash as a two-time National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player. But he's also distinguished himself off the court as a philanthropist, a capable soccer player and, of course, a New Yorker. He's combined all of those interests with the creation of Showdown in Chinatown, an annual charity soccer game played in downtown New York City, which this year took place on June 23. He talks about his non-basketball passions—and gracefully dodges our question about LeBron James—below.
Tell us about the Showdown in Chinatown soccer game, the accompanying brunch and The Steve Nash Foundation.
Steve Nash: The Showdown is pretty much my childhood dream: professional soccer players—incredible guys—from around the world and some of the best NBA talent on a small pitch in the middle of the Lower East Side. My friend Simone [Sandri] and I came up with the idea, roped Claudio Reyna into it, and we're on our third year. The great part about it, for me, is it's a real game—it's not your typical charity exhibition match. We're playing out there, and the crowd loves it. With this being a World Cup year, the City is even more excited about football.
The whole day is packed. In the morning [on June 23], my foundation is holding a brunch fundraiser to support the work we're doing in the United States and overseas. We're keeping it very small—only about 25 people—so it's really going to be a time to talk and get creative and get to know new people that are interested in what we're doing. The "Evening of Showdown" is bigger, but a great opportunity to mingle with the players. We have a live auction and just celebrate summer and giving back. Tickets to both are available on stevenash.org/showdown.
As you may know, the United States is bidding to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022, and New York City is a candidate host city. What would make it different here from anywhere else?
SN: NYC hosting the World Cup would be incredible. The City speaks for itself as an attraction, but the multicultural element is perfect for the diversity and excitement a World Cup brings. The City would be electric. There is no place like it.
Where in the City will you watch 2010 World Cup matches?
SN: First, I go to Phebe's pub on the Bowery. My friend Derek [Kierans] owns it, and there's always a great atmosphere to watch games. After that, sometimes I'll go to a restaurant or bar that represents countries playing, including Novecento when Argentina's playing or Felix when Brazil is on.
Who will you root for in the World Cup this year?
SN: My dad is from England, so I've supported England since I was a little boy. Hopefully this will be the year!
Where are some of your favorite places in NYC to eat, shop and hang out?
SN: Living downtown, I spend most of my time here. I don't shop much, but there's great shopping in the West Village, SoHo and the Lower East Side. They are also jam-packed with great restaurants of different [ambiences] and ethnicities. Spend a day walking the different neighborhoods and you'll uncover all kinds of shops, restaurants and bars that you'll keep coming back to.
I can't resist asking: what are the chances of LeBron James coming to NYC?
SN: I don't want to get caught up in LeBron talk or get fined for it! Of course he's a magnetic talent, the type you come to expect from a big city. I think he's going to have a hard time leaving his hometown. [Editor's note: We'll see about that!]

Six members of the Dutchess County Legislature, including the two who represent Beacon, have proposed adding a 10-cent per bag surcharge on disposable grocery bags.
The Beacon City Council is expected to adopt a resolution on Monday, Nov. 5, supporting the proposal.
Introduced in October by a group including Dutchess legislators Nick Page and Frits Zernike, both of whom are from Beacon, the bill must first be approved in committee. If all goes smoothly, the Legislature could vote on the law early in 2019, Page said. If approved, it would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
DeCicco & Sons, a chain of seven family-owned supermarkets, including in Brewster, said it planned to eliminate single-use plastic bags by the end of November.
He said the stores used 22 million plastic bags last year. "That won't happen again next year," he said.
Earlier this year, Kroger said it planned to eliminate plastic bags at its 2,800 supermarkets by 2025. It uses 6 billion single-use bags annually.
The law would require retailers including grocery, drug, apparel, hardware and convenience stores to charge customers 10 cents for each disposable plastic or paper bag provided. Customers bringing reusable bags would not be charged; revenue generated by the fees would go to the retailers. The fees would likely be waived for seniors or customers paying through federal food assistance programs "with the hope that we can get anyone who doesn't have access matched up with reusable bags," Page said.
More than a dozen municipalities and counties in New York have enacted similar measures, including Ulster, which will ban disposable plastic bags by next summer. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed a statewide ban.
While plastic bags, which are typically made of a high-density (checkout line) or low-density (produce bags) polyethylene, are recyclable, they take hundreds of years to break down in landfills, eventually decomposing into smaller, more toxic materials. Additionally, misplaced bags wreak havoc on virtually every recycling stream, jamming machines and contaminating the materials produced at recycling plants.
Jb Said, the manager of Key Food in Beacon, said that although more than half of its customers bring their own bags, the change could be "a challenge at the moment" for consumers who would be forced to pay the extra fee. "It's going to make people buy the [reusable] bags," he said. He added that Key Food plans to introduce a more durable plastic bag next year, as well.
One Response to "Dutchess Considers 'Bring Your Own Bag'"
Just adding another tax for people to pay. If you want to stop the use of plastic bags, just have a law banning them. Done. Stop with always adding a new fee or tax and then letting some people pay while other don't have to.

Does anyone know if the wacky wheelers site is still being maintained? They have parts listed that I need but the payment selection screen is blank. I have had no response to emails or phone messages left. This is a last attempt to get noticed by them. After a shifter for a gaucho A151 or something that can be made to fit from a later model if anyone is able to help me out. I can get them from the USA but the carriage is almost as much as the part! Many thanks in advance.

Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna home to Canada's most expensive rentals: report
According to PadMapper, units in larger B.C. cities cost $1,300 to more than $3,000
Jan. 15, 2019 1:20 p.m.
Spending more than $1,000 a month on a one bedroom has become a reality for most renters in B.C.'s busiest cities, as rental rates continued to rise through 2018.
According to PadMapper's Canadian rent report, a one bedroom in Vancouver, Burnaby, Victoria and Kelowna costs between $1,300 and $2,200 on average. Meanwhile, a two-bedroom costs anywhere between $1,600 and $3,200.
PadMapper's report, released Tuesday, analyzes rental data from thousands of active listings across the country to calculate average asking rents for the top 24 most populous metro cities. The data does not include short term or Airbnb listings.
Toronto topped the list, where most renters can expect to pay about $2,200 for a one bedroom, and $2,850 for a two bedroom.
Rent in Vancouver for a one-bedroom went up 6.5 per cent from 2017 to last year, according to the data, and less than one per cent for a two bedroom.

Victoria saw the largest uptick year-over-year for both kinds of units. One bedroom units reached $1,390 – a 16 per cent increase from 2017 – and two bedrooms totalled an average of $1,590, which was a five per cent increase.
Abbotsford, the only city in B.C. included in the report with an average rental rate of just under $1,000, also saw double-digit increases to prices.
A one bedroom in the Fraser Valley city averaged $950 in 2018 – up 12 per cent from the year before. A two bedroom was priced at $1,080, which was a 12.5 per cent increase.
The average prices follow a November report by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which found that B.C.'s rental vacancy rate sat at 1.4 per cent last year.
The corporation said B.C. had the highest average rent of $1,387 for a two-bedroom, compared to $1,266 in Toronto and $1,215 in Alberta.

Asian countries reevaluate separation, political differences
Art by Hyelee Won
Less than 150 years ago, politics and culture divided the U.S. into the two factions of the Civil War. Today, a nation still firmly divided by politics and culture, in addition to its demilitarized zone across the 38th parallel, is Korea. After a rough start to the 20th century, where constant wars with other military powers in Asia left the Koreans no peace, the last straw on the buckling country came in 1948, when the Cold War bred the establishment of two governments in Korea: democracy, aided by the U.S. in the south and communism in the north, supported by the Soviet Union.
While hopes of reuniting the country rose and fell during the Korean War, they have now been re-invigorated with the election of South Korea's Park Geun-Hye, who will take office in February. Her foreign policy includes reaching out to North Korea with what she calls "trustpolitik," which will renew humanitarian aid to build social and cultural exchanges.
Hyoeun Kang, a South Korean junior at RBHS, has always known of the existence of the split. After meeting two North Koreans during her time in South Korea, Kang's sympathy goes out to them not because of their restrictions, but their financial deprivations and their limited development of opinions.
"I was really surprised and shocked that they needed to do everything all about Kim Jeong Il," Kang said. "They need to listen to music and watch movies about Kim Jeong Il, and the citizens cannot watch [or listen to] foreign movies or music."
A hot topic in her education in South Korea, she remembers learning about the vast differences between the two nations. While she had never feared the other side, that all changed one November afternoon when the North Korean artillery let loose on the South Korean Yeonpyeong Island in 2010. With the event plastered all over the news, Kang could not escape the reality of the attack.
"When I first heard that, I was freaking out because many people were dying, and it was such a big thing that happened," Kang said. "My parents were surprised too, and they were sad [that] people — so many people — were dying with no reason."
Kang still sees the countries as populated by the same people, though she's not sure unity is the best thing. The South Korean Ministry of Unification estimates the unification of the Korean Peninsula would mean South Korea paying seven percent of its Gross Domestic Product for the next ten years, but it would allow for expansion of economic growth. Kang says politics, however, is the main divide.
"In my opinion, it is good to help them make good living conditions," Kang said. However, "I think it's hard for unity because we have totally different living conditions and policies."
Differences in governing styles also resulted in a debate between the Republic of China, known as just China today, and the People's Republic of China, also known as Taiwan. China calls Taiwan its province, but Taiwan has its own government and economy. The ambiguity over territorial claims came at the end of the Chinese Civil war in 1949 when the Kuomintang and Communist parties fought for control. Now, China operates under a communist government and Taiwan under a democracy, but the two survive on peaceful terms.
Briana Marsh, 2010 RBHS alumna, is a Chinese major at the University of Central Missouri studying abroad in Beijing, China and recently visited Taiwan. She says there is no noticeable difference in the standard of living between the two nations, though a "huge" one lies in internet censorship. In China, Marsh said communist colors only showed during the Chinese presidential elections.
"They were especially strict on internet use and shut down a bunch of sites. You couldn't even use Google. It was a tough time," Marsh said. "In terms of the Internet, there's definitely a lack of freedom. But … that's the only area that I'm able to tell I'm in a communist country."
While the two countries are on relatively good terms, Marsh said, there is no need or possibility of reuniting. Social studies teacher David Graham said there's also more than one dividing factor keeping two "sides" apart in any country, and for countries that are divided longer, it is harder for them to reunite.
"Taiwan and China seem so different, not only politically, but economically and socially, and the same can be said for North and South Korea," Graham said. "When they stayed split up … it seemed that they really went different ways [in terms of the] westernization of Taiwan and North Korea."
However, Marsh said the political obstacle in the way of unification and separation of China and Taiwan is complex. During her time in China and visit to Taiwan, she talked to the people there about their views on the separation issue.
While "Taiwan is basically their own country with their own government, their own currency, and they do everything independent[ly], China can't say Taiwan is independent because all the other provinces and areas in China would want to be independent from China," Marsh said. "It's a delicate situation where [Taiwan] is technically independent, but [China] can't admit it."
No matter how strenuous the relationship between the two factions are, the people of North and South Korea and Taiwan and China come from the same roots.
"You can't convince me that there aren't relatives from each side of North and South Korea and China and Taiwan that are … generations that … remember being in the other country," Graham said. "It seems like no one is willing to give in and say the other side is right, so ideologically, I think is the biggest divide."

Rodfil and Aira lived in the same village practically their whole lives. They went to the same college and was introduced to each other by a common friend, but it wasn't until Rodfil saw Aira walking inside their village that they both realized they lived close by. Since then, they would constantly bump into each other in school and in their neighborhood, until around the last part of 2008 where Rodfil decided to give it a shot and court her. She became his girlfriend in February 2009.
As they entered their 2nd year of dating, their love was put to a test when Aira had to migrate to America. With Rodfil having to stay in Manila, and both of them determined to keep the relationship alive, they entered a long and torturous long distance relationship, seeing each other only every 3-6 months.
Rodfil went back to Manila, and their challenging wedding preps began, having coordinated it long distance with their wedding coordinator Shane Ganalon, whom they found very professional and reliable. Josiah's Catering was recommended to them by their wedding coordinator (thanks, Shane!), and we loved helping make Rodfil and Aira's Winter Wonderland theme come to life.
Holiday Wedding Idea Alert! Because their wedding date was set on the Christmas season, the couple picked a unique and seasonal wedding theme: Winter Wonderland. For the color motif, hey combined colors that they loved which turned out very elegant and beautiful: navy blue, silver, and white. The result was absolutely stunning.
We love how intricate the snowflake details come out to be, and we all agree that Rodfil and Aira's wedding was definitely one for the books.
No wedding is perfect. But it will always be the happiest moment to soak in and to remember for the rest of your lives.
Thank you Aira and Rod for sharing us your beautiful love story. We wish you more love and adventures as husband and wife. God bless!

La Laiterie Audet est fondée en 1948 par Aurèle Audet et sera en fonction 14 ans avant d'être rachetée en 1962 par un géant du lait en Abitibi, la Laiterie Dallaire de Rouyn-Noranda.

M. Audet engage ses deux frères, Laval et Rolland qui l'aideront à maintenir ce projet. Tous trois sont fils de Théophile Audet, cultivateur, et de Clara Bégin, venus s'établir en 1914 à La Sarre grâce au projet de colonisation du transcontinental. Les trois frères sont issus d'une famille de 10 enfants.

L'idée d'ouvrir une laiterie au public remonte à l'année 1925. L'oncle des 3 frères Audet, Paul Audet, possède une petite ferme à La Sarre. Lorsqu' il a des surplus, Paul les vend aux villageois de La Sarre. C'est après que l'idée d'une laiterie familiale verra le jour.

Durant ses années d'opérations, soit 14 ans, la laiterie procédera à l'embouteillage du lait et à la distribution de celui-ci, mais également à la production de lait au chocolat, de beurre, et de fromage.

Personnage important
Le fondateur principal de la laiterie, Aurèle Audet, possède un historique de vie très riche. Né à La Sarre le 12 octobre 1920, Aurèle étudiera au couvent des Sœurs de l'Assomption à La Sarre, puis au collège de La Sarre.

Il sera cultivateur, bûcheron et mineur en Colombie-Britannique pendant trois ans. Ce périple lui permettra de voir du pays et de changer d'air. Pour finir, il fait ensuite ses études à l'École de Laiterie de Saint-Hyacinthe où il fut diplômé en technique laitière, ce qui lui permettra d'avoir de multiples connaissances pour ouvrir la laiterie familiale étant donné que Paul, qui a de l'expérience, ne sera pas dans le coup de la Laiterie Audet.

Aurèle occupera également le poste de gérant de la succursale de la Laiterie Dallaire, à La Sarre, de 1962 à 1970. Étant donné la fermeture complète de la Laiterie à La Sarre. En 1971-1972, Aurèle Audet décide de se tourner vers la politique. Il sera député créditiste d'Abitibi-Ouest de 1970 à 1973 et Whip du Ralliement créditiste du  au 6 février 1973.

Zones de vente
La Laiterie Audet concentre ses activités à La Sarre et les alentours. Lorsque la Laiterie ouvre ses portes en 1948, certains petits villages près de La Sarre possède déjà leur propre production de lait. La Laiterie Audet fournira donc tous les autres petits villages qui n'ont pas accès à des productions de lait. Les employés de la laiterie ne sont pas nombreux et se concentrent surtout autour de la famille. Ce seront de petites camionnettes qui s'occuperont de faire la distribution du lait.

Changement de propriétaire
Malgré le succès de la Laiterie, celle-ci demande énormément de gestion de la part des 3 frères qui doivent concilier la vie de famille et le travail. Au même moment, à partir de 1960, la Laiterie Dallaire fait l'acquisition de plusieurs laiteries dont les Laiteries de Normétal, Macamic et La Sarre mais également de la Laiterie Lefebvre (seule Laiterie d'Amos), de la Laiterie Ville-Marie, Laiterie Témiscamingue et de la division de Québec de la Laiterie Eplett's déjà établie depuis 1914.

De 1962 à 1973, la succursale de la Laiterie Dallaire anciennement la Laiterie Audet, est à La Sarre. En 1973, la compagnie vend ses actions et actifs à la "Beurrerie Lafrenière" de Laverlochère dont M. Normand Lafrenière est le président. Malgré tous ces changements, c'est toujours sous le nom de "Laiterie Dallaire" qu'en 1974, elle acquiert la "Laiterie Senneterre".

En 1978, le groupe Labatt devient le nouveau propriétaire mais la direction de l'entreprise ne change pas. En 1983, la Laiterie Dallaire fusionne ses activités avec "Les Aliments Ault Limitée", qui est une propriété exclusive du groupe John Labatt. Son nom devient « Les Aliments Ault Ltée, division Laiterie Dallaire ».

En 1975, la compagnie s'équipe d'une Vita-Line qui lui permet de fabriquer des friandises glacées appelées Fudge et Popsicle. Elle peut désormais s'attaquer au marché national.

Au milieu des années 1990, la Laiterie Dallaire est la seule entreprise laitière de la région. Elle sert une population de plus de 150 000 habitants sur un territoire plutôt vaste. Sa grande force réside surtout dans la production de friandises glacées. Elle en produit 8 millions de douzaines par année. Devenue propriété de la multinationale Nestlé, l'entreprise ferme ses portes en 2009.

DROUGHT support and the latest in weed research were high on the agenda for NSW Minister for Primary Industries Niall Blair when he visited AgQuip on Tuesday. The minister addressed a crowd of visitors at the Local Land Services (LLS) stand on the opening day of AgQuip to announce the government's latest support measures to combat the problematic Hudson Pear. Mr Blair said the state government was exploring many options to help farmers combat the weed. "Given the drought conditions we are finding that the Hudson Pear is becoming a more prevalent issue," Mr Blair said. "It was actually at this stand one year ago that LLS brought the Hudson Pear to the attention of the state government. "From there the state government has been working very hard on finding a solution and now it is about implementing that research." Read Also: Mr Blair said the state government was also regularly consulting with farmers in regards to the state's ongoing drought. "Obviously we are continuing to explore as many options through the state government's drought assistance package," he said. "We are consulting with as many farmers as we can and we have reached a bit of a benchmark recently where we have processed more assistance requests than we have received. "I think that shows that the assistance is required and we are working our way through the backlog to help people." State drought co-ordinator Pip Job said the government was receiving a variety of different support requests. "Everyone's needs are different and there have been a lot of different requests from all over the state," Ms Job said. "We understand everyone's needs are different and that is the task ahead of us, how to best help everyone in the way they need." Ms Job said LLS was an excellent resource for farmers to access drought assistance and information about drought proofing. "In terms of drought proofing, there are so many case studies happening around the state at the moment and the information gathered on those will be part of our advice going forward," she said.

According to Nuls, businesses are going through a similar evolution as they did with the early internet, when every company wanted their own website: They now want their own blockchain. And although these firms may not fully understand how to deploy blockchain technology, they are aware of how their business may benefit from it.
Nuls aims is to "dismantle some of the biggest barriers" that are stopping individuals and companies of all sizes from creating their own blockchains. Hurdles for adoption include the need to ensure that networks are fully secure and the sheer cost of bringing them to fruition. On top of this, it can be an incredibly time-consuming process — not least because there aren't enough skilled developers to keep on top of demand.
The team behind Nuls believes that the future of blockchain will see plenty of third-party providers that simplify the process of establishing a blockchain network.
One of the company's solutions, known as ChainBox, allows developers to take their applications and deploy them to a new blockchain in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. Nuls hopes that this approach will enable entrepreneurs to focus on the product itself rather than the time or money it takes to deploy their applications onto a chain.
Nuls describes its ChainBox feature as language agnostic — giving developers more choices and making it easier to integrate existing systems with blockchain technology. The platform also says it is keen to ensure that users can personalize and enhance blockchains in line with their specific needs. An upcoming solution known as Chain Factory will allow users to add extra functionality and features through additional module applications that can be automatically downloaded for an instant upgrade.
According to Nuls, the fact that major corporations such as Facebook, Amazon, Walmart, ING, IBM, Anheuser-Busch and JPMorgan Chase are creating or exploring their own blockchains powerfully illustrates an "inevitable trend" in which demand for chain-building will increase. Worth noting is that Visa, Mastercard, Uber and others will create nodes on Facebook's Libra to run their own consortium chains.
The platform says one of the most powerful benefits it can offer through its straightforward service is the ability to bring innovative products to market up to a year early, in addition to allowing partners to receive ecosystem support through consortium chains.

The company also places an emphasis on "ensuring that the blockchains its platform creates are flexible and scalable," meaning that they can be adapted in line with growing demand and customized to deliver a better service to end-users. In addition, cross-chain transactions are supported and will be built to convert Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Binance Coin (BNB) and more.
Nuls seeks to illustrate how effective ChainBox is through an online hackathon that invites developers to build modules for "the world's most adaptable blockchain" — even if they haven't worked with these networks in the past.
These modules can be built in any coding language the developer desires, and prizes of up to $500,000 are up for grabs. The top prize is reserved for applications that would solve a practical problem and be in substantial demand in a commercial setting. The winning project will enjoy incubation and a full range of business support, including funding and potential exchange listings, according to the team. The hackathon is scheduled to take place online from July 8 to Aug. 29.
The company has dual headquarters in the Chinese city of Chongqing and in San Jose, California. Nuls adds that it has an ever-expanding team of developers throughout Europe, as it pursues a vision of bringing an open-source, instant blockchain-building platform to the world.
