They will be obedient tools of destruction as long as the spirit contemplates destruction; and they will be constructive as soon as the spirit decides for great buildings.
But where danger is, grows / The saving power also.
Technology will annihilate humanity—and technology will provide humanity's only means of preservation from annihilation. This commonplace belief is what I call Technē's Paradox. This technological and rhetorical paradox appears again and again in popular culture, especially in science fiction, like the Terminator movie trilogy (1984, 1991, and 2003) and TV shows like Battlestar Galactica (2004–9), Eureka (2006–12), and the revived Doctor Who series (2005–). In these science- fiction plotlines, technologies annihilate humanity and preserve it. They teach humanity that technology serves us until it kills us, and only what kills us can save us. Rhetorically, such narratives exhort humanity to take heed that its technological hubris will lead to disaster, and they exhort humanity to seek technological solutions for the most catastrophic problems. Technē's Paradox, however, extends well beyond popular culture, permeating the rhetoric of people who ponder the advantages and disadvantages of myriad technologies in real- world, life- or- death situations.
Technē's Paradox influences thought about a broad spectrum of technological dilemmas and their rhetorical deliberation. It undergirds the basic premises of risk analysis implemented by public policy- makers when deliberating the use of technologies vis- à- vis transportation safety, disease, and crime. It galvanizes environmental controversies about pollution, damming rivers, methods of agricultural production, and waste management. Fossil fuels and nuclear fission threaten global catastrophe for the sake of energy production, while wind and water turbines, solar arrays, and long- lasting batteries seem to offer the technological power to avoid or lessen such catastrophes. Technē's Paradox animates assessments of capitalist consumer society and proliferates in descriptions of digital culture and futurism. It manifests when the stakes are not so high, and on the best and worst days, it reflects our exaggerated feelings about the most banal machines. On a hectic morning, the world-ending trauma of a broken coffeepot or a flat tire might make one overly conscious of how people depend on an assortment of "background technologies" for basic mental preservation.
The more dangerous the technology, though, the higher the stakes for negotiating the double truth bound together in the seeming inevitability of simultaneous technological destruction and technological preservation. This book focuses on some of the most dangerous kinds of technologies—weapons—and the rhetoric of their development and use. As Lewis Mumford wrote, "Real orgies of destruction, vast collective eruptions of hate, became possible only when civilization provided the technical means of accomplishing them." Weapons facilitate humanity's "orgies of destruction." The nearly ubiquitous technological and rhetorical predicament of Technē's Paradox and the threat of technological annihilation with weapons pervade humanity's precarious relationship with machines and systems, inflecting our beliefs as well as our actions.
Weapons are designed or appropriated with the explicit intent to kill. Yet in addition to their physical force, they possess geopolitical, ethical, and cultural forces. They are therefore the most critical of technologies for understanding Technē's Paradox. The persistent pervasiveness of Technē's Paradox in this context is observable as an ideology, as an anxiety, and as a rhetoric. As an ideology, Technē's Paradox perpetuates the innovation, production, and deployment of weapons for the purposes of securing humanity from famine, plague, and war.
As an anxiety, it presents weapons to the world's population with the permanent threat of catastrophe, even extermination, while it also presents weapons as an anxiety-relieving panacea. As a rhetoric, it constrains and opens up the inventive scope of how people communicate about weapons and how weapons are persuasive. In this book, I argue that Technē's Paradox is fundamental, if not inherent, in the ways that people use technologies to persuade and how technologies themselves are persuasive.
I use the Greek term technē to describe this central technological and rhetorical paradox in order to draw attention to the close affinity between the worldmaking capacities of both rhetoric and technology. In short, technē means skillful craft. Aristotle, by defining rhetoric as a type of technē that involves the discovery and crafting of the available means of persuasion, linked rhetoric with technical activities as diverse as the crafting of health with medicine, the crafting of justice with law, the crafting of boats with shipbuilding, and the crafting of buildings with architecture. Martha Nussbaum defined technē as "a deliberate application of human intelligence to some part of the world, yielding some control over tuchē [luck]; it is concerned with the management of need and with prediction and control concerning future contingencies." Universality, teachability, precision, and the "concern with explanation" further characterize technē for Nussbaum. A person possessing technē thereby possesses foresight, "some sort of systematic grasp," and "some way of ordering the subject matter," all of which instill preparedness for and control over technical matters. In these ways, the art of technology and the art of rhetoric overlap, just as the etymological roots of the word "technology" point toward an understanding of this word that welds skill in invention (technē) with language (logos). The overlap of technology and rhetoric in the idea of technē indicates that technological invention influences rhetorical invention, and rhetorical invention influences technological invention. Rhetoric can be considered "the logos of technē" and the technē of logos, or the persuasive capacity of both machines and words. Technē, as I use the term, thus refers to the co- creative world-making capacities possessed by rhetoric and by technology, by rhetors and by engineers, and by documents and by machines.
Technologies do not kill alone. And neither do people. Both technology and people depend upon each other as well as upon language, language that is violent and language that motivates violence. Weapons rhetoric, or the ways by which people argue, debate, describe, advocate, and dissent against weapons—as well as how weapons themselves motivate belief and action—is such a language. Weapons rhetoric persuades people to kill through the ideological construction of political economies, religious dogmatism, patriotism, nationalism, racism, and hatred; through military strategists, commanders, and drill sergeants; through politicians, policy, technocracy, and diplomacy; through the mass media; through burgeoning weapons industries and capitalist expansion; through the militarization of science, engineering, and universities; through the marketing and selling of weapons to individuals, groups, and states; and through the physical presence of weapons.
There is a growing body of scholarship on weapons rhetoric, including Lisa Keränen's work on how "bio(in)security" promotes technological solutions for biological weapons attacks; Gordon Mitchell's work on how "strategic deception" navigates and suppresses public debate about weapons systems; and Edward Schiappa's work on how "nukespeak" discourages public involvement in nuclear policy- making. Moreover, Paul Virilio has been adamant that violence is inherent in communication, and that the "information bomb," or "weapon of mass communication," is not mere wordplay. At each moment when weapons have been deployed, and at each deliberative moment when peace has degenerated into war and when war has stuttered to a halt, people have wondered about whether weapons would cause humanity's annihilation or its preservation. Weapons rhetoric is language that perpetually comes into conceptual contact with Technē's Paradox. Thus, to speak or write about weapons has prompted thinking about how rhetoric helps spur people toward perpetual global peace or extermination. In turn, I call the various ways rhetors adapt their language to Technē's Paradox "negotiating the Paradox." As rhetors negotiate both the presence of weapons and the enigma of Technē's Paradox, the fate of larger and larger populations depends on the power of rhetoric.
The simultaneously preservative and destructive dual uses of nitrogen fertilizers are an initial example of how weapons, and technologies in general, summon Technē's Paradox. At about nine o'clock in the morning of April 19, 1995, a truck bomb ripped into the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The explosion traveled at 7,000 miles per hour and its force of 74,000 pounds equaled the force of a magnitude 4 earthquake. The primary explosive, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, demolished the building's façade. Th e bombers, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, constructed the bomb by loading 108 fifty- pound bags of the fertilizer, three five- hundred- pound drums of nitromethane fuel, and some ammonium nitrate/diesel fuel oil (ANFO) explosives into a rental truck. They killed 168 people and injured 680. Th e surprise attack, which came in response to the US government's 1993 raid of the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas, became, in an instant, a shocking reminder of synthetic fertilizer's explosive power. The bombers did not convert fertilizer into a weapon so much as they implemented one of ammonium nitrate's primary uses—killing lots of people.
German chemist Fritz Haber, who in 1918 won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, began researching how to make nitrogen fertilizers in the early twentieth century with the goal of feeding more people, not killing them. In 1911, the technology to mass- produce ammonium nitrate must have seemed to Haber like an unequivocal boon for humanity. Haber said of his discovery that "improved nitrogen fertilization of the soil brings new nutritive riches to mankind" to the extent that "the chemical industry comes to the aid of the farmer who, in the good earth, changes stones into bread." However, once World War I broke out, Haber applied his ingenuity not only to feeding a hungry wartime population but also to exploding the enemy. By inventing an industrial process that combined nitrogen and hydrogen to create ammonia, he helped accomplish both feats. The Haber process, later refined by Carl Bosch, supplied Germany with a significant portion of the ammonium nitrate it needed to arm itself for four years of intensive warfare. Furthermore, Haber's chemical acumen prepared him to oversee the first successful German chemical- warfare attack, and the first successful chlorine- gas attack, at Ypres, on April 22, 1915. In 1916, he became the director of Germany's Chemical Warfare Service, and his Leuna- Werke—a vast chemical factory complex—provided Germany with chemical munitions and fertilizer as the primary producer of each. Thus, the same chemist whose technology empowered a massive increase in agricultural production in the twentieth century also empowered the widespread development of military explosives, the German push to inaugurate chemical warfare, and the ensuing international arms race. The huge expenditures on German chemical plants to produce dualuse nitrates propelled the expansion of the military- agricultural technology, an expansion that postwar population growth and agricultural necessity would make permanent, even with the destruction of some German chemical plants as per the dictates of the Treaty of Versailles. At the end of the twentieth century, ammonium nitrate both nourished the monoculture of Oklahoma's cash crop—wheat—and exploded Oklahoma City's Murrah Building. It nurtured, and then it destroyed. It continues to do both.
Yet the ingenuity of the fertilizer truck bomb itself and its appropriation of commonplace industrial products did not result in the weapon's vilification, in contrast to, for example, the vilification of hydrogen bombs and sarin nerve gas. To malign the mass production of ammonium nitrate, nitromethane, and rental trucks would be to disparage three fundamental components of the US economy—agriculture, chemistry, and transportation. To bar the products of German war technology from common use would threaten large populations with starvation. So should people live in fear of fertilizer or use it as definitive proof that humanity can invent technology to sustain itself?

Despite a weak first quarter, the second quarter has looked good, and signs are pointing to a solid remainder of the year. Recent data has shown an expanding economy, while companies have grown both their top and bottom lines. Markets around the world have reacted to this by rising substantially, and we've continued to hit new highs here in the U.s.
Although there are risks to this continued improvement, they are largely political. And, thus far, they have been far less dangerous than feared. ... While there are more risks to come—the pending debt ceiling debate and the italian election are two examples—it seems unlikely they will derail the recovery.
markets are also likely to continue their rise.—Brad McMillan, "not a Bad Place to Be"

Eddie Jones has released the side he has chosen to face Ireland this weekend.
Although England have to beat Ireland to break the 18 game unbeaten record, Joe Marler has insisted that they feel under less pressure than they did at this point in last years tournament. Ireland have said that they are not focusing on breaking the streak, which may seem odd considering the rivalry between the two home nations.
If Eddie's side win themselves another grand slam, will they be better than the All Blacks? Or will it have to wait until the two top sides meet to decide who is truly the best side in the world? The two were set to be facing each other in the November of next year, but it is now possible that they will come head to head in this years Autumn Internationals instead, after the RFU's bid to play the All Blacks sooner.

Lourensford Estate experienced a moderate wet winter that allowed vines to go into proper dormancy with budding that started a week or two earlier than usual. We did not have the usual severe South Easter winds at the start of summer. This resulted in very good and even budding and flowering of the vines. We experienced a fairly cool but very dry summer with moderate temperatures and cool nights that resulted in much faster ripening and the earliest recorded harvest dates in history on the Estate. The vines were generally very healthy and in good balance and harmony. With good canopy management and perfect ripening conditions we managed to bring the grapes in at just the desired time. This resulted in refined wines with elegance, good natural acidity and structure. The Shiraz and the Mourvèdre were hand – picked from separate single vineyards into 5 ton fermenters with regular, manual punch downs before the grapes were pressed and transferred to barrels for malo-lactic fermentation and ageing. The cultivars were vinified separately and blended before bottling.
Wood: The wine spent 14 months in 300 liter French oak barrels of which 38% were new and 62% older barrels.
This vintage can be enjoyed up to 2022, but will reach its best drinking potential towards the end of 2017 and with optimum cellaring will peak only towards the end of 2019.
This wine will pair well with game dishes ranging from pan-fried kudu or ostrich steak, roasted springbok haunch and venison pie to stuffed quail and roast duck. It will love grilled, braaied or barbecued foods as it latches on to the pronounced 'browning' flavours that develop with these cooking methods and it will not mind a rack of braaied spareribs with a sweet, spicy or sharp basting sauce. The SMV will also work with sweeter sauces, cranberry jellies and relishes that accompany many savoury dishes. It also goes with everyday dishes such as cottage pie, bangers and mash or mushrooms on toast.
Serve between 15 and 18°C.

Council says 'no' to handing over domain
ownership to Ngati Mutunga
The New Plymouth District Council last night rejected a proposal to hand ownership of Urenui and Onaero domains to Ngati Mutunga.
In an emotional debate on the issue, one councillor attacked "redneck" attitudes and another said she was ashamed to be pakeha.
However, a majority of councillors chose not to support the Crown's proposal for the future of the domains – ultimately voting for the status quo.
In making their decision, councillors said they could not ignore the fact that the majority of submitters on the issue did not want the council to back a Crown proposal to vest the fee simple title of the domains to Ngati Mutunga.
Many of those submitters, however, were slated by some councillors for their attitudes.
Councillors said many of the submitters had a fear, which councillors said was unfounded, of what would happen if the domains were reverted to the iwi.
The Crown, the council and Ngati Mutunga had stressed the transfer would be symbolic only, with lessees' rights protected.
Alex Matheson said the "redneck views" he heard by some submitters had saddened him, while Elaine Gill said she had found the submission process very upsetting.
"There were things said here by some submitters that made me very ashamed to be a pakeha. I have real sympathy with Ngati Mutunga. I think they have conducted themselves with great dignity," Mrs Gill said.
"I have certainly listened, but unfortunately, the vast majority wanted the status quo. I'm very sorry about that and I'm very disappointed in our community."
Clive Pryme said he was particularly disappointed with the amount of false historical information given by submitters.
"I was quite upset with people who came and tried to influence this council by giving information that was factually incorrect . . . taking history subjectively and using it for one's own purpose," Mr Pryme said.
On the verge of tears, Heather Dodunski said she could not understand why some people had such a fear of the domains going to Maori.
"At the end of the day, nothing changes, except you give back what was taken away. I'm saddened by the response. It's been a learning curve we did not need to have," she said.
Howie Tamati urged fellow councillors to be strong and "do the right thing" by supporting the Crown's proposal.
He said they could then leave the chambers knowing they were not "threatened into making a decision that you know in your hearts was wrong", he said.
But Pam Street said that it was "just too bad" if some councillors were upset.
"Thank you to the submitters. It's their right to stand up and say what they want to say," she said.
A number of councillors were also critical that they were even called on to make a decision on the future of the domains.
Maurice Betts said the council had been given a "hospital pass" by the Crown.
After the meeting, Ngati Mutunga chief negotiator Dion Tuuta said he was very disappointed with the decision.
"Ngati Mutunga thought the Crown's proposal offered a win-win for the entire community at no cost to anybody but, obviously, other parts of the community didn't see it that way.
"It's now back to the drawing board to see where to go from here," Mr Tuuta said.
Urenui resident Duncan Elliott said he was pleased with the council's stance, but councillors' comments about submitters disturbed him.
"That really upset me. If they interpreted it that way, I'm sure it wasn't meant to be that way.
"I just hope that now that they (Ngati Mutunga) have got a good settlement, that they accept it and move on, and stop looking back all the time," Mr Elliott said.
New Plymouth Mayor Peter Tennent said Onaero and Urenui domains were ultimately an issue between the Crown and Ngati Mutunga, but the Crown had asked the council for its opinion.
"We have consulted. Quite clearly the community has an opinion and we are giving advice to the Crown accordingly, that we decline to support their proposal," he said.
The Crown could still chose to transfer the ownership of the domains to iwi, but considering the response from the community, Mr Tennent doubted that would happen.
Councillors Howie Tamati, Maurice Betts, Heather Dodunski, Jed Rowlands and Mike Merrick voted against the council's decision not to support the Crown's proposal.

Worked Out, Did a Bunch of Deadlifts!
*Im a casual gym goer but watch a lot of anime and action/superhero stuff and I'm aware of all the workout stuff people are into right now.
That was about 90 minutes. All the stretching keeps my lower back and hamhocks from twinging. I wasn't even close to this stuff until July when I started doing this working up, working out, then working down thing. Was like some kind of Saitama unlock for me.
Im a 29 year old, 5 foot 11 inch African American male that weighs 230 lbs by the way. I'm just really happy right now because I feel all ready to take a nap and eat some animals and stuff.


It has long been my contention that he was a brilliant engineer and organizer and headed the type design department at ATF, but I doubt if he ever actually took a pencil to paper and drew any of the typefaces that he is given credit for. … I have been trying for the past three decades to find anything that would confirm that M. F. Benton actually drew any designs and have come up short.
On May 25, 1948, Morris Fuller Benton wrote a letter to Loomis Burrell for the Little Falls (New York) Public Library file about his grandfather, father and himself. Little Falls had been the birthplace of Linn Boyd Benton, and even today, the Little Falls Historical Society Museum houses many original documents about the Benton family. At the end of the letter, Morris states: "I retired from my association with the American Type Founders Company in 1937. At present I am contemplating the compilation of a list of type faces designed or redesigned by myself, as all such lists heretofore published are incomplete." But Morris died on June 30, 1948 after a brief illness.
Twelve years earlier, Morris had compiled what he called a partial list of his type designs (there are 101 typefaces on the list, shown below) in a two-page letter to Harold Kathman of ATF's Sales Promotion Department. In front of 52 typefaces he put asterisks indicating, as he explained, the ones that could be selected for a shorter list if the whole list was too long for Kathman's purposes. A carbon copy of this letter is housed in the Cary Graphic Arts Collection at RIT.
The list likely identifies the typefaces that Benton considered his best or most significant. He had no apparent reason to lie about designing these typefaces. Many of his types are not on the list, including his variations for the Goudy Old Style family, although both Mac McGrew (American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century) and Stevens L. Watts (in charge of ATF type sales and production of new typefaces from 1948 to 1955) attribute nine Goudy Old Style variations to Benton.
Morris Benton did not always have, as von Holdt assumed, "a whole department of designers, artists and engineers under him." This is a huge issue. Getting philosophical, Michelangelo had a lot of assistants, but his work is still his. In the same way, Benton had assistants but he was still in charge.
Typefaces originated by other ATF employees or independent type designers were noted as such in many of the typeface lists. And when Benton had assistance with a typeface, that is noted too. There was no "secret" designer lurking in the background doing all the work.
Benton started at ATF helping his father with his inventions, and then was assigned the task of standardizing the various type lines that ATF had acquired from the type foundries in the 1892 merger which created the company. He also helped his father design Century Expanded and Century Expanded Italic (both released in 1900). Before being put in charge of the type-designing department at ATF in Jersey City in 1903, Morris already had designed several of his own (Wedding Text, 1901; Franklin Gothic, 1902; and Cloister Black, before 1903).
VonHoldt doubts that Morris Benton "ever actually took a pencil to paper and drew any of the typefaces he is given credit for." But some of Benton's working drawings still survive. A Typographica Internet thread on ATF contains this note by Ed Bertschy from March 7, 2005: "As far as I know, I digitized the first font to have automatic optical hinting. The font was ATF's Wedding Text, and Henry Schneiker developed and programmed the hinting. This was 1989 when I worked for the software division of Kingsley ATF in Tucson, AZ. I worked with the original Benton drawings …." The Font Bureau website gives this history: "In 1908, faced with the welter of san serifs offered by ATF, Morris Fuller Benton designed News Gothic, a 20th century standard. In 1995 Tobias Frere-Jones studied the original drawings, which survive in the Smithsonian, and advanced the design." And RIT's Cary Graphic Arts Collection has a complete set of what are identified as Morris Benton's working drawings for Bodoni.
William Gregan, a contemporary of Benton's at ATF, remembered that Benton "wouldn't say two words, when none would do." That's why it's notable in Benton's letter to Kathman that he chooses to call the faces (both revivals and others like Century Schoolbook, Franklin Gothic and News Gothic) "my designs." He does not include faces that were based on the designs of others.
We may not have evidence that Benton drew every draft of these typefaces with his own hand, but we have no reason to believe that they aren't his. Keep in mind that this was a partial list in 1936. Certainly there were more. I cover this in far greater detail in my book.

Back from a trip home to England, C.V. Kicker fullback Steve Hextall nailed down two tries against the Nanaimo Hornets on Sunday adding to the four he has already scored this season, to make him the club's top try scorer so far this season.
Unfortunately, Hextall's heroics in the Hub City couldn't prevent the Kickers record the third loss in a row, 31-17. New winger Ross McLean scored the Kickers' other marker which Adam Erickson converted.
Hextall has been a stalwart for the Kickers for the past number of years and his aggressive, knees-up, striding running style makes him a handful for opposing teams to contain. Last season he recorded a team leading eleven tries, and this year he has netted six already with more than a half season to play.
In the second-half of the contest against Nanaimo, led by prop Ian Harris and #8 Andy Hextall, the Kickers spent most of their time in the Hornet end making concerted attacks on the home team's line but just couldn't find a way to score against a stalwart defence. In the end the Hornets scored two tries against the run of play to seal the win.
Despite the loss the Kickers hang onto fourth place in the nine team Vancouver Island Third Division table. The team takes on Port Alberni Black Sheep at Village Park next Sunday.
SUBSTITUTIONS COST KICKER WOMEN
The Comox Valley Kicker Women's team took on the powerful University of Victoria Vikettes at Village Park Cumberland last Saturday and though competitive in the first-half, sheer strength in numbers wore the home team down in the second stanza.
The Vikettes, sitting second in the Vancouver Island Women's League table, arrived with over twenty-five players and in the first-half stuck with an unchanged fifteen, which allowed the Kickers to compete on an even plane. U.Vic scored first but Kicker centre Samantha Kreeger evened the score when she found a gap and went over the try line, converted by Paula Moore. The Kickers defended well with fullback Amber Van Der Mark foiling Vikette scoring attempts with sound tackles for which she later won "Women of the Match" honours.
The Kickers took the lead when the forwards drove downfield to near the visitor's line where scrum-half Laura Locklin wiggled her way over the line. Paula Moore converted: 14-7, half-time. In the second-half, relentless pressure and a liberal use of substitutes saw the Vikettes mount an unrelenting assault on the Kicker line as the Kickers struggled with exhaustion. The visitors scored six more tries to leave the final score at 55-14.
Despite the loss flanker Shannon Walton and #8 Aimee Burley stood out for the home team defending furiously and continually breaking up Vikette attacks. Captain Aimee Burley commented after the match that: "This game was probably the most fun our team has had on the field this season. There was lots of open play and everyone had a chance to get their hands on the ball. Even though we lost today, our skills are improving and we are playing more as a team than we have in the past. I was proud of the way everyone played today."
Next Saturday the Kicker Women take on Cowichan at Herd Road in Duncan.
The Kickers Rugby Club invites all those who are interested in playing rugby to attend training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the club's Fallen Alders facility on the Royston/Cumberland Road. Junior players take to the field at 5.30 p.m. and the Men and Women at 6.30 p.m. For added information and details go to www.kickersrugby.ca.
The Club gratefully acknowledges our sponsors: The Le Fevre Property Group; Investors Group; Central Rentals; Mount Washington Alpine Resort; Wedler Engineering, the Butcher Block and Pilon Tools without whose support rugby would not continue to flourish in the Comox Valley.

As summer winds down, you may be wondering what to do with the abundant harvest of greens and tomatoes still left in the garden. There are still enough warm days to enjoy a SUMMER SALAD as a main course for lunch or dinner.
For this salad, have the kids wash and layer an assortment of fresh greens. I used romaine, arugula, spinach, purslane (look it up if you're wondering), and radicchio. Then I added sliced cucumbers, yellow beets, black olives, sliced grapes, and yellow tomatoes. Then I sprinkled on a 2 oz. packet of salmon, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, slivered almonds, and grated Parmesan cheese. Top with your favorite dressing and you're all set.
You can easily substitute the following to make it your own: diced, cooked chicken, cooked salad shrimp, tuna, dried cranberries, walnuts or pecans, pineapple chunks, shredded carrots, apple slices, orange segments…the list goes on. It's delicious, filling and nutritious as well. Why not pack a smaller version of this for school lunches? Serve with some whole grain crackers for added crunch.
What are your favorite salad add-ins?
It's that time of year again. Back to School. And, back to trying to figure out how to make kids lunches that are healthy and will be eaten. Here are some simple and nutritious recipes for back to school lunches and snacks. The Peanut Butter Dip recipe is one I've adapted through trial and error. Unless you're allergic to PB – in which case you can substitute another nut butter – It has been a hit with all the children I've served it to. Adults like it as well since it is not too sweet. It keeps well in a lunch box with a cold pack and can also be spread on a bagel or other bread in a sandwich with sliced bananas or other fruit of your choice.
Add applesauce, a little at a time, until it is the desired consistency for a dip.
This dip is great served with apple slices, carrots, banana slices, celery sticks, graham cracker sticks, or broccoli pieces. You can also try mini rice cakes, pretzel sticks, and other fruits or veggies. If you let the kids make the dip, they will taste it and want to dip all sorts of fruits and vegetables. It's a better option than fat laden sour cream dips and salad dressings.
You can also try Hummus with veggies as well.
Try different ingredients in a soft tortilla. I like spreading the tortilla with hummus, shredded carrots, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. OR you can roll them up with lunch meat and cut them into spirals for "fun" shapes. Tortillas also make a fun way to enjoy the traditional PB and J sandwich.
Whole grain crackers no longer taste like cardboard. Kids will enjoy cracker "sandwiches" they can make themselves with various fillings.
Check out the previous postings on this site for more lunchbox friendly recipes kids will enjoy such as soft pretzels, Krispie Treats, and homemade granola.
Enjoy the last days of summer knowing that back to school lunches are covered.
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat. (If using potato instead of flour add it to the above. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
2. Place mixture in a blender and process until smooth.
3. If using flour to thicken, add it to the pan and whisk in the milk until blended. Return pureed asparagus mixture to the pot and add nutmeg. Stir to combine.
4. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in butter and salt to taste. Garnish with asparagus tips if desired.
Variations: Substitute 2 C baby carrots for asparagus for Cream of Carrot Soup. OR, substitute 2 C leeks and 2 C diced potatoes for Leek and Potato Soup.
It's National Chocolate Chip Day…Got Cookies?
National Chocolate Chip Day is Wednesday May 15, 2013. What better way to celebrate this tiny bit of heaven than to have a cookie baking party. You can find some recipes at: http://www.familycircle.com/chocolatechipcookies or try this healthier version using oats and whole wheat pastry flour as well as canola oil to replace some of the butter. You will NOT sacrifice taste. While you're at it, bake some extra and help end Childhood Hunger.
http://www.greatamericanbakesale.org inspires millions of bakers to donate the money from sold baked goods to help fight childhood hunger by contributing to SHARE OUR STRENGTH'S NO KID HUNGRY campaign fund.
1. Heat oven to 375. Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
2. Beat butter, oil, sugars and vanilla in large until creamy. Add eggs and beat until blended.
3. Gradually add dry ingredients and nuts. Mix until combined.
4. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pans to cool.
These cookies freeze well and can be jazzed up with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries or whatever other dried fruit you enjoy. Don't be afraid to experiment.
Celebrate the chocolate chip! Happy eating.


does someone know if there is a way to use next (and prev) entry but sort them on title just like next page the option has (http://book.pivotx.net/page/app-b#anchor-nextpage)?
The next and previous options for entries are dependent on the sort order you are displaying them in.
You can view entries through archive display, category display and weblog display.
I assume you want to use this in the weblog display.
Then you should order this weblog by title. You should be able to use the orderby http://book.pivotx.net/index.php?page=app-b#anchor-subweblog--weblog in the template you are using to display the weblog.
Could there be something I am overlooking?
You are right. It doesn't work. Setting up a weblog sorting on title is easy but as long as you stay on front page or archive the titles are sorted.
As soon as you display an entry in detail the prev/next links are the "normal" ones.
So I will come back and try to solve this for you.
I did some searching but can't seem to find where (In witch file) this is taken care of?
do you know witch file that is?
Most of the tags coming with PivotX itself are located in modules/module_smarty.php.
I have taken a brief look and the entry implementation does not accept a sort parm.
As there are 2 implementations needed for flat file and sql the routine points to get_next_code (same folder in entries_flat.php and entries_sql.php).
As you can see there currently only date is used to decide what is the next entry.
You maybe already know this but development of PivotX has long stopped. We only do error fixing now.
You could try to fiddle around yourself with this code but as it is core code it could be replaced in future by an error fix.
Another option could be to code a weblog in the smarty theme template for the entry with exactly the same specifications, go through this entire weblog and create an array for all entries, pick out your current entry and use the previous and next occurence in the array to create prev/next links from.
OK, the reason nextentry and previousentry only works for sorting by date is that, well, it's a blog: "[website] consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order". Not very helpful, but at least it's an explanation.
Harm's suggestion, "code a weblog in the smarty theme template for the entry with exactly the same specifications, go through this entire weblog [...]", is actually much easier than it seems, but I don't have time to write that smarty code for free - sorry.
I am strongly agree with Harm10's idea and thoughts and I appreciate his efforts.


The FSI's recommendation to ban direct borrowing in SMSFs is based on an 'inconsistent' and 'flawed approach' to the regulation of super, says an industry lawyer.
According to Townsends Business and Corporate Lawyers principal Peter Townsend, the FSI final report suggests super should be treated solely as a 'savings vehicle' rather than a broader wealth management vehicle; a notion which he said is "fraught with difficulties".
Mr Townsend said the report's recommendation that SMSF borrowing be banned because it does not comply with the 'savings vehicle' philosophy is "biased against SMSFs unless public offer funds are similarly turned into solely savings vehicles".
If this notion of super as a savings vehicle was to be accepted consistently, Mr Townsend said funds would be banned from investing in anything other than the safest and least volatile of investments and certainly not the share market.
"Even the most blue-chip sector of the market cannot guarantee a complete lack of volatility and therefore should be more appropriately put in the 'wealth management' box not the 'savings' box," he said.
Mr Townsend also questioned the need for the inquiry to address borrowing in SMSFs at all.
"The truth of the matter is that with assets subject to borrowing accounting for only about 1.7 per cent of all assets held by SMSFs, the borrowing ban is a solution to a non-problem," said Mr Townsend.
Chan & Naylor managing director Ken Raiss also believes the recommendation "reflects the ongoing hypocrisy of the broader financial services sector".
"The notion that an SMSF should not be able to borrow for investments like property but that APRA-regulated funds can via geared managed funds, as proposed in the report, is a showcase in duplicity," said Mr Raiss.

Supreme Court of Indiana
In Dougherty v. State (1934), 206 Ind. 678, 191 N.E. 84, our supreme court considered whether an Illinois conviction was a felony under Indiana law.
Summary of this case from Johnson v. State
See 1 Summary
No. 26,119.
Filed June 22, 1934.
1. CRIMINAL LAW — Motion in Arrest of Judgment — Attack on Sufficiency of Indictment — Language of the Statute. — If an indictment or affidavit is substantially in the language of a statute which defines an offense and states directly and specifically what acts shall constitute the offense, judgment will not be arrested on the ground that the facts stated in the indictment or affidavit do not constitute a public offense. p. 680.
2. INDICTMENT AND AFFIDAVIT — Possession of Burglary Tools After Former Conviction of Felony — Allegation of Former Conviction. — As against a motion in arrest of judgment an affidavit charging possession of burglary tools by defendant "who was then and there a person that had been previously convicted of a felony, to wit: murder," held to charge the former conviction of a felony with sufficient certainty. p. 680.
3. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Oral Admissions — Bearing Upon Documentary Evidence — Admissibility. — Where defendant's oral admission bears upon some fact in relation to a document which the document itself would not be sufficient to prove or disprove (as defendant's identity with person referred to in the document), evidence of such admission is competent and, if the document itself is offered in evidence, the admission is admissible even though it bears upon certain other facts wholly provable by the document. p. 682.
4. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Oral Admissions — Bearing Upon Documentary Evidence — Identity of Person Named. — In prosecution for possession of burglary tools after a former conviction of a felony, where an attested court record showing conviction for murder of person of same name as defendant was offered in evidence, oral admissions of the defendant that he had been convicted of murder under conditions corresponding with the record were held admissible primarily to identify the defendant as the person referred to in the record. p. 682.
5. WITNESSES — Impeachment — General Moral Character — Admitting Former Convictions. — A witness may be impeached by proof of general moral character, which may consist of admitting, on the witness stand, a former conviction. p. 685.
6. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Admissibility — Burglary Tools as Exhibits. — In a prosecution for unlawful possession of burglary tools a sack which had contained dynamite, in defendant's possession at the time of his arrest, and tools, implements, and dynamite caps found in an automobile in which defendant was riding just prior to his arrest, held properly admitted in evidence as exhibits. p. 685.
7. WITNESSES — Expert Witnesses — Qualification as Expert. — Question of the qualification of a witness to testify as an expert is primarily within the discretion of the trial court, whose decision will be set aside only where there is a manifest abuse of discretion or no evidence to support the decision. p. 686.
8. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Expert Testimony — Qualification as Expert. — In prosecution for unlawful possession of burglary tools, testimony of a police officer held to qualify him to testify as an expert as to what constitutes burglary tools and implements. p. 686.
9. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Admissibility — Record of Former Conviction in Foreign Court. — Under a charge of having been formerly convicted of a felony, a court record from the State of Illinois showing a conviction for murder and imprisonment in a state prison, held admissible without an affirmative showing that the crime of murder is a felony in Illinois, since the record did show the crime to be a felony within the Indiana statutory definition of felonies. p. 686.
10. CRIMINAL LAW — Evidence — Admissibility — Record of Former Conviction — Identity of Defendant. — Where admissions of defendant concerning a former conviction corresponded with the facts shown by a record of conviction of a person of the same name, and a police officer testified that he had arrested defendant on such former charge and knew of his conviction thereon, defendant's identity as the person referred to in the record was held sufficiently shown to render the record admissible against him. p. 686.
From Clinton Circuit Court; Brenton A. Devol, Judge.
Edward Dougherty was convicted of unlawful possession of burglary tools, and he appealed. Affirmed.
Pete H. Dawson, for appellant. James M. Ogden, Attorney-General, and Robert L. Bailey, Assistant Attorney-General, for the State.
TREANOR, J.
Appellant was convicted upon an affidavit drawn under § 2447.2, Burns Ann. Ind. St. Supp. 1929, § 10-703, Burns Ind. St. Ann. 1933, § 2441, Baldwin's 1934, Acts 1927, ch. 49, § 1, p. 131, which defines as an offense the possession of burglar tools with intent to commit a burglary by a person previously convicted of a felony. He assigns as error: (1) the overruling of his motion in arrest of judgment; and (2) the overruling of his motion for new trial. The motion in arrest of judgment is upon the ground that "the facts stated in the affidavit do not constitute a public offense under the laws of the State of Indiana," appellant contending in particular that the offense attempted to be charged is not stated because "the date of the commission of the former crime by the accused, the place, together with the fact and date of conviction and sentence, was not set forth in the affidavit."
Note 1. "Dan Power, being duly sworn on his oath, says that Edward Dougherty, on the 21st day of March, 1931, at the County of Clinton, in the State of Indiana, who was then and there a person that had been previously convicted of a felony, to wit: murder, did then and there unlawfully and feloniously have in his possession burglar tools and implements with intent to commit the crime of burglary, contrary to the form," etc.
Note 2. "If any person previously convicted of a felony be found having in his possession any burglar tools or implements with intent to commit the crime of burglary, such person shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and on conviction thereof shall be imprisoned not less than two (2) years nor more than fourteen (14) years, and the possession of such tools or implements shall be prima facie evidence of the intent to commit burglary."
Appellant did not attack the affidavit by motion to quash for lack of certainty; and if an affidavit is substantially in the language of a statute which defines an offense and 1, 2. states directly and specifically what acts shall constitute the offense, judgment will not be arrested on the ground that the facts stated in the affidavit do not constitute a public offense. Mann v. State (1933), 205 Ind. 491, 186 N.E. 283. And it will be noted that the affidavit upon which appellant was tried and convicted followed the language of the statute. Further, it is provided in § 9-1127, Burns, etc., 1933, § 2225, Burns etc., 1926, Acts 1905, ch. 169, § 192, p. 584, that: "No . . . affidavit shall be deemed invalid, . . . nor shall the trial, judgment or other proceeding be stayed, arrested or in any manner affected for any of the following defects: . . .
Note 3. "A motion in arrest of judgment does not question the affidavit for uncertainty in the statement of facts constituting the offense intended to be charged in the affidavit. Rowe v. State (1921), 191 Ind. 536, 133 N.E. 2; § 2326, Burns 1926. Such uncertainty can only be questioned by a motion to quash and not by motion in arrest. Rowe v. State, supra." Csallo v. State (1927), 198 Ind. 693, 154 N.E. 671.
"Tenth. For any other defect or imperfection which does not tend to the prejudice of the substantial rights of the defendant upon the merits."
In support of his contention that "the date of the commission of the former crime by the accused, the place, together with the fact and date of conviction and sentence" should have been set forth in the affidavit, appellant cites the case of Evans v. State (1898), 150 Ind. 651, 653, 50 N.E. 820, which contains the following statement:
"The doctrine that when a statute imposes a greater punishment upon second and subsequent convictions of an offense, that the former conviction must be alleged in the indictment and proved at the trial, or the same can only be punished as a first offense, is sustained by the great weight of the authorities."
It is apparent from the opinion of the court in that case that the alleged defect in the information was a complete absence of an allegation of a previous conviction. The court did not purport to set out the particular facts concerning such former conviction which need to be alleged to constitute a valid charge and to support a judgment assessing the punishment prescribed "upon a second conviction." Further, the question presented for review did not relate to the sufficiency of the indictment as against a motion in arrest of judgment. We hold that the facts alleged in the affidavit in the instant case were sufficient to constitute a public offense.
Under his second assignment of error appellant relies first upon the alleged irregularity and error in the admission of conversations between defendant and witnesses in which 3, 4. the defendant admitted having been previously convicted of murder. Appellant's statements were competent to be received in evidence against him as an admission of a material fact in issue, unless the fact sought to be established by the statements belongs to a class of which proof is forbidden by use of admissions. Also, in determining the competency of the testimony as to defendant's admissions we must consider that an authenticated copy of the court record of a conviction of a person bearing appellant's name was admitted in evidence.
Note 4. ". . . all admissions are usable against the accused in a criminal case precisely as against a party in a civil case (ante § 821); i.e., so long as they have satisfied the confessional rule, or fall without its scope, they are to be tested, like other admissions, by the ensuing principles common to all admissions." Wigmore on Evidence, Vol. 2, § 1050.
Note 5. "For the purpose of proving certain classes of facts, the use of admissions has by some courts been forbidden.
"(1) In evidencing the contents of a document, it has sometimes been thought that the opponent's admissions — at least, his oral admissions — should not be received until the original had been accounted for as lost or unavailable. This view, from time to time advanced in early English rulings, was definitely repudiated in Slatterie v. Pooley in a forceful opinion by Baron Parke; but has nevertheless obtained some vogue in the courts of this country. Its reasoning, and the state of the law, are examined elsewhere (post, §§ 1255-1257), in dealing with the rule requiring the production of documentary originals." Wigmore on Evidence, Vol. 2, § 1054.
"The proposition that production should be dispensed with where the opponent has already admitted the contents of a document to be as alleged, is a plausible one, and its denial seems at first sight a mere insistence on an unnecessary formality. The doctrine that production is in such case exceptionally dispensed with owes its best defense and its usual name to the following opinion of Baron Parke:
"1840, Parke, B., in Slatterie v. Pooley, 6 M. W. 664, `If such evidence were inadmissible, the difficulties thrown in the way of almost every trial would be nearly insuperable. The reason why such parol statements are admissible, . . . is that they are not open to the same objection which belongs to parol evidence from other sources, where the written evidence might have been produced; for such evidence is excluded from the presumption of its untruth arising from the very nature of the case where better evidence is withheld; whereas what a party himself admits to be true may reasonably be presumed to be so. The weight and value of such testimony is quite another question.'
"But there is much to be said against the recognition of such an exception; and the sum of these objections is found in the following passages:
"1845, Pennefather, C.J., in Lawless v. Queale, 8 Ir. L.R. 832, 835: `I cannot subscribe to what was said by Parke, B., in that case . . . The doctrine there laid down is a most dangerous proposition. By it a man might be deprived of an estate of £ 10,000 per annum, derived from his ancestors by regular family deeds and conveyances, by producing a witness, or by one or two conspirators, who might be got to swear they heard the defendant say he had conveyed away his interest therein by deed, had mortgaged or otherwise incumbered it; and thus, by this facility so given, the most open door would be given to fraud, and a man might be stripped of his estate through this invitation to fraud and dishonesty. It is said, it is evidence against the person himself who made this admission, and that there is no danger of untruth in what a man admits against himself. Supposing the admission to be proved, is there no danger of mistake or misconception of the terms of a written instrument? It may be long and difficult; one part or clause may explain or qualify another; an unprofessional or ignorant man may be led to believe it may be so-and-so, whereas the real and true meaning may be the very reverse or something very different. But, produce the deed or writing, "litera scripta manet." On which side is the security, and why depart from the rule that, if you want to give evidence of the contents of a writing, the writing itself must be produced? Is there no danger of untruth or misrepresentation, when used against the party making the admission? That is the ground put by Parke, B., and in which I cannot agree, when I know by experience how easy it is to fabricate admissions, and how impossible to come prepared to detect the falsehood. Why are writings prepared at all but to prevent mistakes and misrepresentations? And why, having taken that precaution, with such writing at hand and capable of being produced, is the same to be laid aside and inferior and less satisfactory evidence resorted to?'
"1850, Maule, J., in Boulter v. Peplow, 9 C.B. 493, 501: `It (Slatterie v. Pooley) is certainly not very satisfactory in its reasons. . . . What the party himself says is not before the jury; but only the witness' representation of what he says.'
"Of the two arguments here offered in opposition, the first amounts to little. The possibility of error in an opponent's own understanding of the terms of a document is not great; and, so far as it exists, it can do little harm, because the opponent's extrajudicial admission is merely some evidence, and not conclusive (ante, § 1058); he may still prove the contents as he now knows them or may have the document produced. But the second argument — that it is easy to fabricate alleged oral admissions — is the real and serious objection to the doctrine. It may be conceded that the opponent's admission of contents is satisfactory evidence, if he made such an admission. But did he make it? Here we are left to choose between conflicting oral testimonies; and it does seem undesirable to leave the matter to depend on the credibility of this or the other witness when an inspection of the document itself would speedily settle the controversy.
"The proper solution of the dilemma would be this: When an admission of the contents is testified to, let production be dispensed with; but if the fact of the admission is `bona fide' disputed by the opponent and some testimony to that effect is put in by him, then let production be required or the document's absence be accounted for." Wigmore on Evidence, Vol. 2, § 1255.
As pointed out in the excerpt from Wigmore, supra, note 5, there are certain restrictions upon the use of admissions to prove contents of documents. But where the defendant's oral admission bears upon some fact in relation to a document which the document itself would not be sufficient to either prove or disprove, as in this case the appellant's identity with the person referred to in the attested document, evidence of such admission is competent; and where the document itself is offered in evidence the appellant's oral admission is not improperly received even though it bears upon certain other facts wholly provable by the document. In this case the proof of the contents of the record of an alleged previous conviction does not depend upon the oral testimony of appellant's admissions but upon the properly authenticated copy of the records of the court in which such conviction was had, which copy was itself received in evidence. The chief value of appellant's admission was that it tended to identify him as the Edward Dougherty whose conviction was shown by the court record.
Note 6. "(1) The fundamental notion of the rule requiring production is that in writings the smallest variation in words may be of importance, and that such errors in regard to words and phrases are more likely to occur than errors in regard to other features of a physical thing (ante § 1811). Thus the rule applies only to the terms of the document, and not to any other facts about the document. In other words, the rule applies to exclude testimony designed to establish the terms of the document, and requires the document's production instead, but does not apply to exclude testimony which concerns the document without aiming to establish its terms. . . ." Wigmore on Evidence, Vol. 2, § 1242.
Appellant cites Farley v. State (1877), 57 Ind. 331, as authority for the proposition that the evidence of his admission of a previous conviction was improperly received. In that 5. case it was held improper to prove by the accused on cross-examination when a witness in his own behalf that he had been previously convicted. The holding in that case was based upon (1) the proposition that it was improper to impeach or sustain a witness in a criminal cause by proof of general moral character and (2) the proposition that "where the question involves the fact of a previous conviction, it ought not to be asked; because there is higher and better evidence which ought to be offered." It is no longer the law in Indiana that a witness may not be impeached by proof of general moral character; and such proof may consist of admitting, on the witness stand, a former conviction. Dotterer v. State (1909), 172 Ind. 357, 88 N.E. 689. The reasoning of Farley v. State, supra, cannot apply to the facts of this case.
The trial court did not err in permitting the witnesses to testify to appellant's admission.
Appellant urges that the court erred in admitting certain exhibits which consisted of tools, implements, dynamite caps, and a sack which had contained dynamite. The sack which had 6. contained dynamite was in appellant's possession at the time of his arrest and the other exhibits objected to were found immediately after his arrest in the automobile in which he had been riding just prior to his arrest. There was no error in admitting the exhibits in evidence.
Appellant also insists that it was error to permit a witness to testify that certain of the exhibits were tools and implements such as are ordinarily used by burglars, 7, 8. without the witness first having qualified as an expert. The witness testified that he was a sergeant of police, had been with the Chicago police department since 1907, that in this capacity he had made various arrests of burglars while "in their activities of burglarizing places," and that in making those arrests he had become acquainted with and was "acquainted with the tools and implements used by burglars in their burglarious doings," and was acquainted with "what is known as burglar tools and implements."
The question of a witness' qualifications to testify as an expert is primarily for the determination of the trial court, whose decision will be set aside only where there is a manifest abuse of discretion or no evidence to support the decision. There was evidence to support the trial court's decision on this question and there was no abuse of discretion.
Note 7. "It is for the court to determine whether the witness is or is not qualified to testify as an expert, and the question as to his competency is exclusively for the court. . . .
"Some of the cases go very far upon this point, for some of them hold that the decision of the trial court is conclusive, but we think the cases which hold that where there is no evidence at all tending to prove that the witness is qualified to testify as an expert, or where there is a palpable abuse of discretion, the ruling of the trial court is subject to review, are supported by the better reason." The City of Fort Wayne v. Coombs (1886), 107 Ind. 75, 7 N.E. 743.
"In most jurisdictions it is repeatedly declared that the decision upon the experimental qualifications of witnesses should be left to the determination of the trial court." Wigmore on Evidence, Vol. 1, § 561.
The last alleged error urged under motion for new trial is the action of the trial court in admitting in evidence Exhibit 15, which was a duly authenticated copy of a penitentiary 9, 10. mittimus of the Criminal Court of Cook County, Illinois, in a cause entitled People of the State of Illinois v. Edward Daugherty, wherein the defendant was sentenced to the penitentiary of the state at Joliet, Illinois, for sixteen years, upon a conviction in said criminal court for the offense of murder. It was objected (1) that such exhibit did not show that the crime for which appellant was alleged to have been previously convicted was a felony in Illinois and, (2) that such record should not have been admitted until the state had well established that appellant and the person mentioned in the record were one and the same.
Our statute (§ 2027, Burns, etc., 1926, § 9-101, Burns, etc., 1933, § 2091, Baldwin's 1934, Acts 1905, ch. 169, p. 584, § 1) provides that "all crimes and public offenses which may be punished with death or imprisonment in the state prison shall be denominated felonies." The word felony, as used in the statute under which appellant was charged will be interpreted in the light of that definition; and where the previous offense relied upon was committed in another jurisdiction, proof that the punishment, prescribed by the law of that jurisdiction consisted of death or imprisonment in the state prison of that jurisdiction will sustain the allegation that the offense relied upon was a felony. Kelley v. State (1933), 204 Ind. 612, 185 N.E. 453, 458. Proof that the punishment actually imposed for the offense committed in another jurisdiction did in fact consist of imprisonment in the state prison of that jurisdiction will also sustain the allegation that the offense relied upon was a felony.
Evidence tending to establish the identity of appellant as the person referred to in Exhibit 15 was to be found in appellant's admission testified to by several witnesses in which his statements concerning a former conviction corresponded with the facts appearing in Exhibit 15 as to (a) the nature of the offense, (b) the length of sentence imposed, and (c) the place of imprisonment. In addition, such evidence was to be found in the testimony of the police officer who stated that he had arrested appellant for the previous offense and knew of his conviction upon that charge. Appellant was sufficiently identified as the person referred to in the exhibit to permit its introduction in evidence.
The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion for new trial.


Ten people were sent to the hospital this afternoon after a car crashed into a packed cafe in Stamford during the peak lunch hour.
Police say the accident happened at Cafe OoLaLa in the Ridgeway Shopping Plaza on Summer Street.
Officials say the driver hit nine people, including a baby. They say all of the victims and the driver are expected to be OK.
Investigators say they are unsure if the driver will face charges.

KO's Middle School and High School classes have the opportunity to interact in various fields. Photo via Google Images.

While the entire school shares a cafeteria the Upper School and Middle School paths do not cross over very often because of the drastically different daily schedules. There are a few programs that do bring the Upper School students and Middle School students together; however, many of the programs only reach a select number of students.
The Senior Advisor program has existed since around 2005 when Tamara Schurdak who was the Upper Prep form dean introduced the idea.
This year, there are 12 seniors known as Senior Advisors who go down to the Middle School twice a week to meet with their assigned advisee group. They help the sixth-graders find their place in the KO community, talk about any pressing issues, enjoy snacks and play games together.
This time is very special for the seniors and sixth-graders and helps bridge the separation between the youngest class and the oldest. An idea that we at the KO News have is to expand the fantastic Senior Advisor program so that seventh and eighth-graders also have Upper Schoolers in their groups guiding them.
This year, Dean of Students William Gilyard started an initiative to teach younger students about the Upper School. Upper School students go to the Middle School to talk about what they do on campus and offer any advice about transitioning to the KO high school. They also answer any questions the Middle Schoolers have for them regarding the Upper School.
Sometimes members of the Upper School SAAC attend Middle School SAAC meetings and encourage them to get involved in Upper School sports. They inform the Middle Schoolers of sporting events such as Hockey Night.
There are also a few members of the Upper School SAAC who work on getting Upper School coaches to hold training sessions for young athletes or invite them to practice with the varsity teams.
Recently, the MS girls basketball team practiced with the US girls varsity basketball team which gave the younger athletes a chance to meet their possible future coach.
While we applaud SAAC for taking this initiative, we hope that they continue to implement their plans.
Wyverns Helping Wyverns is another program that was recently created to have the Upper Schoolers tutor the Middle Schoolers in any subject and help them get organized after school.
Some Middle Schoolers utilize this program to get ahead in their classes while others just want to get out of a quiet study hall.
The KO News thinks that a buddy system for an older student to work with a younger student during the day could be installed to help kids who need more support or just want to review material.
We also think it is important to have more free time that aligns both with the Upper and Middle School so that programs like the tutoring one can be put in place.
More similar free time would also allow students of all ages to participate in clubs because there are so many clubs that younger students could participate in such as the Green Team and Shatterproof.
Currently, it is hard to find time for Senior Advisors to visit their sixth-grade advisee groups becuase of the very different day-to-day schedules of the two grades.
These seniors miss weekly Tuesday assemblies, which is not ideal because these assemblies often have important information for the week and club announcements. This group of seniors also misses out on some assemblies when they go to the Middle School on Fridays during PLB at 9:15 a.m..
In 2016, the KO News introduced the "KO in The Middle" section of the newspaper for Middle School students to have a chance to write about what's happening in the Middle School.
During the Middles Schoolers eighth-grade year, Mrs. Levine teaches a journalism elective for a quarter. Each Middle Schooler who wants to write for the newspaper has to take this class to learn how to interview people and write in the correct newspaper style.
Head editors of the KO News and Ms. Schieffelin, the Upper School journalism teacher, sometimes go to the class to offer advice, and they also edit the Middle School articles before they reach the print version.
The KO News is trying to bring the two schools together with this initiative, and the editorial staff hopes that these young writers will join the Upper School news staff in the future.
All of the pre-existing programs are very important for both the Upper and Middle Schools; however, there is so much more we could be doing to make the community feel united. The KO News urges the school to implement some new programs so that each student feels a great sense of community.

Q: intellij: database tools tools access issue On IntelliJ 2020.3.2 Ultimate, I started getting the 'Unable to unlock keychain' issue when using Database tools plugin on Mac OS (Big Sur), not been a problem before.
I uninstalled the Database tools plugin and reinstalled it.
It didn't fix.
Any ideas?
Thanks.


Just back from holiday in Corfu – had a lovely peaceful time – and now back, this Monday morning, at work. Oh, the joy. Husband is away on a fishing trip ( he didn't come to Corfu, which is probably why it was so peaceful) and I am sitting at my computer in a house full of gently snoring teenagers/young adults. Eldest daughter and her boyfriend are here for the duration while they look for jobs – really not easy at the moment – and eighteen-year-old is preparing to go to art college. By preparing, I mean, sleeping until about one, spending an hour putting on make up and glamorous clothing to accompany me to the Co-Op, and then getting back, exhausted, to start watching 'America's Top Model' on Sky.
Meanwhile my life is trundling back onto its usual tracks. There's nothing quite like a holiday, is there, for throwing you off course? I was relatively happy pre-holiday, in my usual groove, but then you have a week of utter bliss – sunbathing, reading masses of books, wandering about olive groves looking out for snakes, drinking cocktails and eating food cooked by other people. You rest, you drift, you flower in the sun. My old skin turned honey-coloured, my hair bleached and for once I could look in the mirror without flinching. I even did an hour's yoga every day ( have discovered the 'Yogalates' DVD's, which are brilliant, if presented by an Australian woman with a very odd intonation and a habit of saying, 'Feel the peace and spirit of the universe' which always makes me snort – with unfortunate consequences – while doing downward facing dog) which resulted in a small but satisfying amount of weight loss.
Now that's all over. Life is back to normal, and boy, do I feel dissatisfied. It doesn't help that I am behind in delivering first chapters of a new book, which is a mighty thing to hang over one, and work seems even more complicated than ever. I know I'll get back into the groove soon, but am I alone in feeling, post-holiday, that my life isn't exactly what I want? I know one should not grumble, but they do make you question the validity of sitting in front of a computer for ten hours every day, when the world is out there waiting to be explored, even by a fifty-something woman with a slightly bad back? I mean, how much longer have I got, and should I spend it like this?
But then I – and like most other women my age, I imagine – have still many financial responsibilities which make buggering off into the sunset well-nigh impossible. University for youngest, no doubt financial help for eldest, mortgage, tax bills ( oh lord, tax bills) and the what seems like daily incidence of leaking guttering/car needing servicing/vets bills for the myriad animals.
How simple life was, lying on a sun lounger by the swimming pool. Should I read my novel, or a guide book? Should I slide into the pool now, or later? Would I like some more freshly-squeezed orange juice, or a peach? I know it isn't real life. But the trouble with golden holidays is that they make real life so grey by comparison. Next year, I think I'll spend a week staring out of the window at the rain in Argyll. But then, how many years of having honey-coloured skin and hair the colour of wheat, do I have left? On that cheerful note, I leave you until I have pulled myself together and buckled down.
Yes absolutely relate to this. We got back from sunny South of France on Monday, and I felt hugely dispirited and bored of my life. The rain and sleet (yes, yesterday my husband swore there was sleet) didn't help. Back to the computer, back to deadlines while trying to keep kids happy (they are 7 and 10) and now I'm just back in the swing and we're off to Ireland on Monday. It won't be sunny, I'm almost sure! But dreading the back to school routine in September.
