Defendants Become Unofficial Icons
City on a Hill Press, March 15, 2007 3 min read 285
By Will Norton-Mosher
When the three students who were arrested at the Oct. 18 UC Regents protest came out of the new humanities building, they weren't alone. Though it hadn't yet been formed, the UC Activist Defense Committee (UCADC) came out of the building with them.
The UCADC was formed as a direct response to the events of the Oct. 18 campus protest when students unhappy with UC policies attempted to shut down a visit from the board of UC Regents. The demonstration became rowdy; students were pepper sprayed, and some were arrested. Immediately afterward, the defendants became unofficial icons for the UCADC, which features the three defendants on their website.
UCADC spokesperson Patrick Makiri said that the committee found the students a lawyer to work pro bono weeks after their arrests.
"A lot of other people went out and found them a lawyer; it took them two weeks to find [one]," he said.
The students' cases remain a fierce point of debate between student activists and the administration, which has stated that police acted appropriately and lawfully given the circumstances of the protest. Students say the police singled out activists according to their race and political history.
Students have mounted a fairly large and vocal response. Last Thursday, the UCADC sponsored a teach-in, distributing flyers featuring a photo of Alette Kendrick, one of the arrested students, being pulled into the humanities building by police.
"Things are definitely intensifying now," Kendrick said. "I feel like I have so much support right now. It's really, really, uplifting."
The students who were arrested have been invited to speak at a variety of recent events that are not explicitly related to their cases. Kendrick spoke at the International Socialist Organizer about a student movement in Oaxaca, Mexico, and appeared during the UC Santa Cruz employee walkout on Feb. 15.
UCADC has become a key supporter of campus activism. Some students used the teach-in to advertise other issues, such as upcoming concerts, and alternative media.
Kendrick's attorney, Greg Colben, says that the arrests were part of a growing political nature of police work. He said that though the issue is political, he and Kendrick aren't trying to set precedents with the case.
"We're not trying to politicize this," Colben said. "But we're trying to extricate this from an unfortunate situation. We'd like to see about resolving this through negotiations."
Guy Lasnier, UCSC's media contact, disputes any claims that the arrests were politically motivated.
"It is our belief that the police acted appropriately and without prejudice in determining which protesters to arrest," he wrote in an email to City on a Hill Press. "The arrests of the three individuals were a result of behaviors that were perceived to be violations of laws."
In court last Friday, Kendrick pleaded not guilty to three counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of resisting arrest. Tani Thole, who faces misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest, appeared in court as well, but her arraignment was postponed.

Q: Serialization with objective-c I'm doing a iphone application and when the user quit the application and return in the application later, I want he return at the same place in the application before he quit. How I do this? Is it serialization?
thanks
Alex

A: It's a little different than serialization. What you want to do is save the app details in NSUserDefaults. For example, if you have a tab view, save the index of the last tab used in the user defaults.
If you have a table view, you can use serialization to save the actual information in the table to present back to the user when they start the app again.

***How To Publish A Book Book
See all Articles by Carol AdlerSee Carol Adler's Expert PageGet Updates on PublishingGet Updates on Carol Adler
So you want to know how to publish a book book—no, that's not a typo. It's simply a way of pointing out that many published books that look and feel like books, are not.
How can you tell if a book is a book?
More important than answering this question is to ask another: does it really matter?
Yes. And no.
A book book or real book, will be written well.
If it's non-fiction, the material will be well organized; it will have a theme that is stated at the beginning. You will know why the author wrote the book and what they intend their readers to learn or take away from it (this is often called the "take-away").
The writing will be clear and easy to understand. The author will back up factual material with sufficient references that are footnoted. Footnotes will be accessible at the bottom of each page, end of the chapter, or at the end of the book in a special section titled "Notes."
Contents will not be repetitive. The author will state the material, provide illustrations or demonstrations, deliver everything they want to say, and leave. A good writer will not want to waste your time by repeating themselves ad nauseum!
The book will be about the subject matter and not about the author (unless, of course, it's an autobiography and the author is the main subject). Posturing or telling the reader how brilliant they are is considered poor taste—and poor writing.
A fiction work will deliver the all-important "who, what, where, when, why" and sometimes "how" as well, within the first page or two. The reader will have a road map they can easily follow.
The writing will be fresh, vibrant and rich with imagery. Characters will leap to life on the page. You the reader will be able to see and feel them in 3-D.
The author will know how to keep the story line moving... quickly and effectively. I like to cite Dan Brown's novel, Angels and Demons, as one of the best examples of skillful fiction writing that is both riveting and compelling. It took wild horses and a ringing phone during business hours to pull me away from this novel when I first read it!
Books of poetry will be original and fresh. The works will say something in a different way. They will be rich with metaphors and images. The best poetry teacher I know is Rainer Maria Rilke. I recommend his essay, "Letter to a Young Poet," to all aspiring poets and writers.
My definition of poetry is "the inner dance of the soul." Since each soul is unique, if authentic, so is each "dance."
Is there a book doctor in the house?
Yes. That's what I do. Often I take a work that is still a rough draft, or I take fragments that a person has collected over time, and develop them into a book.
I perform the necessary surgery that will insure delivery of a work that follows my own list of qualifications.
I am also a book shepherd, a term that has become vogue recently--although I prefer to call myself a publishing mentor. "Shepherd" has the connotation of leading sheep or people who don't really know what they're doing. Or, guiding people who will agree to anything you the shepherd tell them to do. They will follow the group.
As a professional writer and author of several non-fiction, fiction and poetry works, I pride myself in producing works that are fresh and original. As head of a publishing company that has built its reputation on producing books that are unique and often outrageous, I like to encourage other writers to "do it their way." I also like to work with individuals who are not aspiring to be people and public pleasers.
I work with each author to show them how to publish a book book they can not only be proud of, but that represents who they are.
Published books from Dandelion bear the unique stamp of being edited, proofed, designed and laid out by professionals; printed and distributed digitally by the best companies in the world; and marketed by companies that have a passion for helping authors and publishers get top sales.
Recently a person contacted me to inquire about Dandelion's editing and publishing services. He said he was working on a novel and had completed several chapters.
After reviewing his work, I realized this person needed a great deal of help. In my phone conference with him, I asked if he had read many novels before. As I suspected, he had not.
Reading the works of other writers, especially those who have been cited for skill, artistry and craftsmanship, is one of the best ways to learn how to become a better writer.
I also learned that this person did not want his work edited or "altered," but was willing to pay me whatever I charged, to "make it into a better work."
Although it can be attractive to sign in a client for book doctoring, especially when they state they're willing to pay my fees, my first rule of thumb is always to make sure the project will not end up being a crash landing. I thanked this writer for allowing me to review his work and wished him well.
I then suggested that he publish his work through one of the online turnkey "fast food" publishing companies in order to have the satisfaction of seeing his work in print.
The email I received in return was confirmation that I had given this writer the best advice possible. Glowing with excitement, he said this "sounded right for him."
As a book doctor and publisher, I 1) listen to a potential client to make sure I understand their goal, and 2) I then offer advice, based on that goal.
When I realized that this person's goal was to have a published book with his name on the front cover, the solution was simple.

Stories from Southeastern Arizona, by students at the University of Arizona School of Journalism
Exploring gender gap in Arizona's college leadership
All StoriesJamie Verwys 05/15/2018 0
An Arizona Sonora News analysis of salary data for leadership positions, such as deans and directors, at Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University and the University of Arizona found that the average salary of women in those leadership roles at ASU and UA were lower than men.
All three colleges have experienced an increase in the average salary of female leaders over time. However, the University of Arizona's male averages for deans and directors continued to increase at a slightly higher rate. Female average salaries for deans and directors roles rose about 30 percent over the last five years, while men's average salaries in those roles rose about 33 percent.
In an effort to address equal pay at the UA, college leaders hope to perform an independent study, according to Lynn Nadel, chair of the faculty senate. Though the study is in a developmental stage, Nadel said UA President Robert Robbins has begun to look at national firms for a pay equity evaluation.
"I don't expect to hear anything other than there are gender inequities," said Nadel. "But we need to know the extent of them, where they are situated, some areas more than others, at some levels of the system more than others, and we need to have good data."
Nadel said gender pay gap issues have not been a major concern of faculty, but that doesn't mean it's not there.
"In my time as chair of faculty this has not been one of the things that the faculty care about … they care about the daca students or they care about the scandals in athletics. … Those are things I hear about on a regular basis," he said. "I've almost never heard about pay equity in the same way, but that might be because of the nature of the problem more than anything else."
Right on trend
Jacqueline Bichsel of the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources, a nonprofit human resources in higher education organization, said the university's trend of lower salaries for women in leadership roles reflects the findings of one of their latest studies.
"There's definitely a wage gap between men and women, and there's also a representation gap in leadership positions," she said. "Bias against women occurs on a daily basis and academia is no exception."
Looking at data from 2001 to 2016, the study found that men occupied the majority of executive positions in higher education.
The UA's demographics for 2016 to 2017 reveal disparities in particular positions of power. Out of 85 department heads, including directors, 63 were men and 22 were women. The number of male deans, 14, also far outweighs the number of female deans, four.
ASU's most recent demographics show that male and female administrators are almost 50/50, and NAU has more women in administrative positions that fall under "Business and Financial Operations," 340 to 121.
The UA is currently facing a lawsuit from former Honors college Dean Patricia MacCorquodale who alleged that she and other female deans at the UA are underpaid.
Citing the current lawsuit, the university refused to comment on this story.
The lawsuit is the type of situation the UA's Commission on the Status for Women took notice of. The group of female and male faculty and staff works to advocate for equality on campus, and it wrote an open letter offering support to MacCorquodale and other women on campus in January.
"We know this is an issue that's happening at industries across the nation," said Cheree Meeks, chair of the commission. "So, we would be silly to pretend that this isn't happening in higher education as well."
Gender equality is one topic that the commission is interested in addressing on campus through advocacy on campus policy and through workshops aimed at empowering all faculty and staff.
"We recently went to a symposium and we were able to host a session and sort of listen to people about hiring and pay disparity and campus climate," said co-chair Holly Brown. "Its something that's on our radar as we listen to faculty and staff."
Tenured professors
One of the positions with the largest difference in the number of male to females at all three state colleges are that of tenured professors. The most recent demographic data shows that at NAU, women make up 40 percent of tenured professors and men make up 60 percent. At ASU, about 37 percent are women and 63 percent are male, and at UA, it's about 35 percent of tenured professors who are female and 65 percent are men.
Jennifer Jenkins, a full tenured professor of the UA's English Department, has been a part of the university since 1997. While she said that the path to tenure status was clearly outlined and she has no complaints about the process, she knows she makes less than her male counterparts.
"I am paid fully 25 percent below the male full professor average in the English department," she said. "Indeed, my salary falls below the salaries of three male associate professors in the department."
Jenkins said that she has raised the issue with the college repeatedly, and has received little or no response.
" I've been continually put off and told to wait for college-wide salary reviews," she said. "While I did receive some money in an equity raise, it still leaves me below male associate professors and far behind other full professors in my unit."
Jenkins has been told in the past that she is a victim of a "loyalty tax," or unable to make as much money as faculty who move around because she has stayed at one institution, she said.
"As a first-generation college student and a graduate of an Arizona high school and the UA, I believe in giving back to Arizona students like me in terms of mentoring and creating a welcoming pathway to success," Jenkins said. "That is work that is undervalued, particularly when done by women."
Jessica Summers, an associate professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Sociocultural Studies, was voted in to replace Nadel as faculty senate chair starting June 1. She said tenure status is a challenge for women to achieve.
"If tenure is a barrier and promotion is a barrier, that makes leadership a difficult barrier," Summers said.
The way women think about salaries
Gender equity and diversity in hiring changes the climate of an industry.
"It's not surprising that when you have diversity around any table you make better decisions you have better input, and that's becoming evident everywhere," said Gloria Feldt, an ASU professor and former CEO of Planned Parenthood.
Feldt teaches a class at ASU called Women, Power and Leadership, which is offered in partnership by the business school and has 25 percent male students. She recently completed research for her book, "No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power," exploring how women think about the gender gap and equal pay.
"What the research found is that the pay gap is very much related to the question of how much women ask for in the first place, what we expect for ourselves," she said. "Now this is not to say there is anything wrong with women and how women think because in fact those barriers in our heads are partially caused by the implicit bias that remains socially learned in our lives."
Feldt believes the biggest barriers to gender equity in any industry, including academia, is the way women value their own work and their negotiation skills. She sees better training as a solution.
She likes to use an analogy about a women she met in a conference who said her male counterparts in her department never invite her to coffee.
"You invite the group to coffee, invite them to your office, do something where you are setting the table and dont wait to be asked," Feldt said. "I know thats hard and it's annoying to be left out, but the only way you can get yourself into the circle is get yourself into the circle."
The solution is to close those gaps
Salary and promotions in the university system are made of many moving parts, and evaluating gender equity and equal pay can be complex. There are many factors that go into a person's pay, including their performance, length of time in their position, the size of the school or department they work in and their department's budget.
When it comes to the reasons gender inequalities still exist, Bischell and her study place the blame on discrimination plain and simple.
"The evidence is there that the bias exists, that the wage gap exists, the representation gap exists and there is no reason to explore the factors underlying them," she said. "What institutions need to do is start looking at the wage gap not just a moral issue that is something nice to have fixed but it needs to be looked at as risk management ..they need to work to close those gaps or they risk being sued."
Bichsel said the gap overall hasn't narrowed much over the last 15 years. If nothing is done, she said the gender wage gap will only increase.
At NAU, women in leadership roles actually average higher than male counterparts, making about 4 percent more than men in the last fiscal year. The college also has a female president, a position Bichsel said predominantly goes to men.
Institutionally, Feldt said that colleges should strive for gender-blind hiring practices, not ask new hires for previous salaries and perform independent studies to ensure gender equity and equal pay. She believes great strides forward are in store for the future.
"First, women are just better prepared and secondly, it's now clear that having gender parity in leadership makes for better leadership overall," she said. "The third factor is let us thank the Me Too and Times Up movements because now there is really a growing structure where women are really finding their voices more strongly."
The UA's Commission on the Status of Women is hopeful that President Robbins will work to address these issues.
"Robbins is very new, so we are sitting and watching and seeing what he's working on," Brown said. "We know there's this career architecture project this has been ongoing and we are hoping that that will result in looking at how people are hired, and so we are eager to see results of this project too in regards to hiring and pay disparity."
The commission hopes to bring in workshops to help women and minorities better prepare to ask for raises or face equity obstacles.
"This is not something that's a one-off, every few years this happens," Meeks said. "… I believe this is a systemic issue, so we need to be looking at what is it about our system that creates these disparities and what creates them and allows them to be maintained over such a long periods of time.
"As institutions of higher education where we prepare students for their first job, we need to preparing professionals for next step as well."
According to Nadel, the UA does a good job of ensuring equal salaries coming in the door, but issues of gender equity take constant vigilance.
"We should be leaning over backward to change the diversity of the profile, but you can't lean over backward at the cost of quality because then you sacrifice what you are trying to do," he said. "We need to make sure equality and diversity are actually being maintained every day, day in and day out, decision by decision and it comes down to people and accountability."
As Summers prepares to take over the faculty senate this summer, she is confident Robbins is aware of the disparities and on board to move forward with a task force.
"I think he will do the right thing, so we are counting on him to do that," Summers said.
As for women in higher education, she said they should stick together and speak up.
"Maybe it's time," Summers said, "to change our tact and become better negotiators and better enablers of each other.
"We don't have to fight these battles alone."

Learn more about our investigation
With a gender discrimination lawsuit underway at the University of Arizona, the Arizona Sonora News decided to look at salaries and gender at all three state colleges. This project began by compiling salary information for the last five years at the University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University.
The most recent salary databases are public record, and can found here:
We encourage you to take a look at this information for yourself.
This project deals only with "leadership" roles. We looked at the combined average salaries of male and female deans and directors over the last five years and saw that all three state colleges are seeing a climb in those averages for women. Men's averages in these positions are increasing as well.
We also took a look at demographic information on faculty and staff from each college, available in each college's factbook online. This is when the disparity between male and female tenured professors at each college appeared.
Salary information and rates are complex, involving many factors, some of which could not be obtained by the time we published this story. When looking at salary data in higher education, it's important to keep the following things in mind.
Though we found a pay gap in the salary data that echos other studies, we can not conclusively say this is caused by gender discrimination.
To make that conclusion would require looking at performance information, raises and promotions and the number of years in service.
Different departments and schools within a college have different budgets, based on their sizes. For deans in particular, this affects salary in a big way.
Jacqueline Bichsel's study found that in roles where women are most underrepresented, like president, women tend to make more than their male counterparts.
To achieve true diversity and equity in higher education also takes looking at representation of minorities. This information can be seen in the college's factbooks.

The city of Greenville rests on the riverside of the Mississippi. Photographer Phyllis B. Dooney, a self-professed 'Yankee' of the North, travelled to the Mississippi Delta in search of a shared 'American' way of life. There, she encountered Halea Brown, a young lesbian woman, as she rapped to an Eminem song at karaoke night. Dooney began to document Halea and her family, in pursuit of an understanding of the complex contradictions that exist in a nation of the faithful and progressive.
In her book Gravity is Stronger Here, Dooney builds a narrative of documents from which emerge stories that speak both to the specifics of Greenville – the peculiar weight that holds citizens in through poverty, religion, crime, and views on freedom, love and abuse – as well as what these specifics mean in the broader context of belonging to America. The 18-year-old Halea, shown in bed with her girlfriend, getting a new tattoo, smoking and playing pool, appears to live a life that conflicts with the traditional ideology of Evangelism, and yet, it also speaks to something essentially 'normal' in contemporary America.
The lives of Halea's family members are similarly shown to be both specific and common. There's evidence of religious faith and love, drug usage and conflict, pride and frustration, playfulness and doing the laundry. It's this contrast and conversation between ideals and reality, hope and hopelessness, where Dooney succeeds in illustrating the essential America.
While the documentary approach could very quickly fall into an objectification and exotification of the 'other' – in this case, making a typically Northern fetish-object out of the South – Dooney wisely includes an integral quote from Halea, on the experience of being documented:
I feel like, to you, I am somewhat of an entertainment symbol. You know what I'm sayin'? I'm not sayin' you're usin' me, but you really are usin' me. Which is cool, it doesn't matter, 'cause I don't mind helpin' you, but at the same time I feel like we're friends 'cause I love you to death. And you're my shit, my nigga, my hitta. And then on this backside, I don't know what you're like at your house. Like, are you nasty? You know what I'm sayin'? Who are you from outside the back of that camera?
By giving space to Halea's expression of her own view of the project, Dooney offers Halea and her family a necessary dimension: agency and dignity. The resulting book feels like an act of building a bridge between two worlds – at a critical moment in time, marked by people walking further and harder into extremes.
The images are accompanied by poems by Jardine Libaire, based on interview transcripts and immersion with the family.
Gravity Is Stronger Here is available from publisher Kehrer Verlag. The book was featured in GUP#53, the Infinity issue.

Our company attended The 3rd Conference on Monitoring & Process Control of Anaerobic Digestion Plants, an event which focused on the requirements of measuring technologies used in biogas sector.
With over 130 excited participants, there was an opportunity to showcase our smart instruments and technologies, to network with potential customers from around the world, as well as to stay up to date with the latest news and innovation in the biogas industry.
We expect next year to be just as good, if not better, because this event organized by Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum DBFZ in collaboration with Helmoltz Centre for Environmental Research UFZ, is the proven, focused event in Germany for AD and biogas, with no end of good business to be gained!

First Minister banned from town's pubs over Covid-19 restrictions
Picture of Conwy by Adrain Evans photography (CC BY-SA 4.0). Picture of the First Minister by the Welsh Government,
The First Minister Mark Drakeford has been banned from some pubs in Conwy until May.
West Conwy Pub Watch has written an open letter to the First Minister telling him there will be no welcome for him in their part of town, on pain of being "ejected" from the premises.
The Welsh Government announced yesterday that they plan to ban alcohol in pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes across Wales from 6pm on Friday.
"All licensees have a legal duty under the Licensing act of 2003 to ensure that disorderly, argumentative, violent behaviour and antisocial behaviour does not occur on or around their premises and to prevent the occurrence of criminal offences," the letter states.
"As a result of your behaviour on November 30th 2020 at the Senedd Cymru your actions class as Antisocial behaviour for the damage caused to our members premises.
"The licensees of the West Conwy Pubwatch have jointly decided that in order to discharge their duty as referred to above they are exercising their right not allow you entry to their premises.
"Should you attempt to ignore this notice and enter any of the licensed premises listed on our website the assistance of police will be sought, if necessary to eject you from the premises and an extra six months will be added to your ban."
'Disproportionate'
The letter came after the Tories accused the First Minister Mark Drakeford of ignoring hospitality industry leaders on Covid restrictions.
According to Darren Millar MS, the Shadow Covid Recovery Minister in the Senedd industry leaders in the pub and hospitality sector responded to an invitation from the Welsh Government to discuss impact of the new restrictions but have yet to be contacted.
Mr Millar also said that the "Wales-wide approach to these restrictions is disproportionate" and that "we need targeted intervention."
The First Minister announced on Monday that pubs, bars, restaurants, and cafes across Wales will not be able to serve alcohol and must close by 6pm from Friday.
Indoor attractions including cinemas, bingo halls, bowling alleys, soft play centres, casinos, skating rinks and amusement arcades, museums, galleries, and heritage sites, will also have to close completely.
First Minister said this is a response to a "stark" rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Wales.
He said the all-Wales seven-day incidence rate was 187 cases per 100,000 people last week, but today that had risen to almost 210 cases per 100,000 people. He added that by January 12 the total number of people with coronavirus in hospital in Wales could rise to 2,200 unless action was taken.
Sam Evans, Carlsberg Marston's Regional Sales Director for Granada and North Wales, says he wrote to the First Minister on Friday after Mr Drakeford said he wanted to consult with the industry over the weekend.
Mr Evans today that he is yet to be contacted by the First Minister or Welsh Government officials but remains open to discuss matters with them.
He says he is "deeply concerned that all of Wales is being placed under further restrictions, especially in North Wales, given the numbers and statistics show good progress against this awful virus.
He added: "[Hospitality industry leaders] understand action is needed but why given the evidence of such low transition rates in hospitality are we again having to bear the brunt of restrictions.
"Is the whole Wales approach just a lack of understanding of the data on hand or an easy way out?
"So here I am, a senior manager from a major UK brewer, a resident of North Wales, a Welshman and freely available to consult with."
'No effort'
Mr Millar said: "The First Minister claims to be consulting with the hospitality sector regarding the Welsh Government restrictions so it is strange that no effort has been made to reach out to a major business like Carlsberg Marston's.
"The hospitality sector in Wales is already reeling from the Welsh Government's previous restrictions so the new rules that kick in from Friday are a devastating blow to those businesses that have worked had to protect their staff and customers by implementing Covid safe arrangements.
"With one in 10 of the Welsh workforce employed by hospitality enterprises and with so many relying on pre-Christmas trade, the Welsh Government is now putting tens of thousands of jobs and livelihoods at risk.
"The First Minister must explain to industry leaders like Carlsberg Marston's why he hasn't bothered to contact them to discuss his plans and the ramifications for their businesses."
He added: "A Wales-wide approach to these restrictions is disproportionate, we need targeted intervention, that's backed by science, and reflects the different levels of risk in different parts of the country."
Deputy Economy Minister Lee Waters has defended the approach of the Welsh Government. He said that the alternative to the no-alcohol and 6pm closing rule for Welsh pubs was that they would have to close completely, as they had in Tier 3 parts of England.
Mr Waters also pointed to a list of restrictions that are due to be brought through in England when the lockdown ends there.
He said: "This is what the English Conservative Government is doing in most parts of England.
"The alternative [to Wales' rules] was to close all hospitality, as is happening in English Tier 3 areas. We opted to keep hospitality open so people could continue to meet indoors, recognising important seeing people is for wellbeing."
England's hospitality rules mean that in Tier 3 areas bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants, and social clubs must close except for takeaway, delivery and click and collect services. This includes restaurants and bars within hotels or member's clubs.
England's Tier 3 restrictions cover much of the north of the country Bristol and parts of the south-east.
Under Tier 2 in England, pubs and bars may not provide alcohol for consumption on the premises, unless with a substantial meal, so they are operating as a restaurant. They may remain open for take-away services.
The First Minister has said the Welsh Government will provide £340m to support businesses affected by the new Covid-19 restrictions.
The first element of the package is a £160m restrictions business fund, that the Welsh Government says will support up to 60,000 businesses on the non-domestic rating list across Wales.
The second element is a £180m fund targeted at hospitality, tourism and leisure businesses.
"Businesses, including those in retail, tourism, leisure and hospitality, and their supply chains, which are materially affected by the restrictions will receive payments of between £3,000 and £5,000," he said.
"Discretionary grants of up to £2,000 will continue to be available for those not on the non-domestic rating list.
"This fund will be delivered by local authorities. I am very grateful for their ongoing support and help to deliver this part of the package.
"The second element is a £180m fund targeted at hospitality, tourism and leisure businesses. It will provide grants of up to £100,000 for SMEs and £150,000 for larger businesses.
"The grants will be linked to the number of people employed and their operating costs with up to 10,000 businesses being supported."

We are working to ensure oil and gas development in the American West does not undermine our transition to renewable energy, to protect wildlands and communities threatened with oil and gas leasing and drilling, and to reduce methane pollution and waste.
Drilling for oil and gas requires massive, landscape-scale industrial development involving the construction of drilling pads, roads, and pipelines that crisscross our wildlands, fragment wildlife habitat, and harm agriculture. It also results in pollution that is a major contributor to climate change. In addition, the oil and gas extraction process uses controversial technologies such as fracking, which pollute air and water, and compromise public health.
We are working to halt oil and gas leasing and drilling in places inappropriate for such exploitation, such as Colorado's North Fork Valley, Utah's Uinta Basin, and New Mexico's San Juan Basin. We are also leading the campaign for robust federal rules to limit methane pollution unnecessarily leaked and flared from oil and gas drilling on public lands.
It makes no sense to destroy the places we love—and their ability to provide food, water, and wildlife habitat. We know that the more we do now, the sooner we will be able to replace an antiquated fossil-fuel economy with a vibrant, durable, and life-affirming clean energy economy.


… I'd make surprisingly good grades, I'd make horrendously bad grades, I'd join the school newspaper, I'd write things that made people think, I'd figure out what I wanted to do with my life, I'd spend hours debating if that was the right decision, I'd get in trouble with my friends, I'd truly figure out why people hated the 11 a.m. kick at the Texas-OU game, I'd make mistakes, I'd learn from them, I'd disappoint myself, I'd do myself proud.
I'd hug my parents goodbye and take a 6 a.m. flight to New York City on the biggest adventure of my life, I'd spend a summer in the basement of my girlfriend's parents' house in Denver. I'd watch Mike Trout and Bryce Harper in their rookie year, I'd get cussed out by Albert Pujols, I'd hit on 16 in Las Vegas with my best friends, I'd drive 14 hours to Omaha to cover the College World Series.
I'd interview Darrell Royal, Kevin Durant, Vince Young and Ricky Williams. I'd be there when Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were drafted and shake Lawrence Taylor's hand on Fifth Avenue. I'd witness the dawn of Linsanity and watch Derek Jeter hit an inside-out single to right field. I'd play basketball at Rucker Park and ski the Rocky Mountains. I'd catch John Legend at Austin City Limits and then see him three years later in the bathroom of a Manhattan bar and tell him how good he was.
I'd walk past my grandfather's open casket and wonder what the point was, if we'd just end up buried in dirt at the end of it. I'd watch my father give the eulogy and I'd hold my sister's trembling hand, and then I'd realize that this is actually pretty beautiful. I'd learn what it was like to be broke and I'd see how nice it was to make gobs of money, and then I'd realize I was stupid to spend all of it on Sixth Street. I'd play 2K late into the night with Eddie and finish second to Kristen every single time in Mario Kart — she's Yoshi, I'm Koopa Troopa. I'd dance to Jay-Z with Hank, from the nosebleeds, and I'd drive to San Antonio with Kyle and Todd (and technically with Hank, too) for Mama Margie's at 4 a.m. I'd watch Nick chunk apples into building walls and plop them into hot tubs. I'd drive to San Antonio with Kristen to watch the Spurs play the Heat on a pretty penny, and pull into the parking lot and learn LeBron and D-Wade weren't playing. I'd watch David Ash thread the needle from the stands in Stillwater, Okla.
I'd broaden my horizons and learn that everything I was taught was not necessarily right. I'd make friends with people from all walks of life. I'd stop judging them the way I did in high school.
I'd cover the Texas football, basketball and baseball teams, and learn that press box food was not good for your figure. I'd be pumped up by awards and then humbled by typos and inaccuracies. I'd stand on a bench and defend myself in front of protesters. I'd protest, too, but mostly about the Longhorn Network. I'd gulp down Shiner pitchers purchased by Doug at Hole in the Wall and I'd sneak Christian into bars in Dallas. I'd figure out I was no good at basketball, but thanks to everybody at Gregory who put up with me, anyway.
I'd spend a day with Julius Whittier, the first African-American football player in school history, and we'd go to football practice together. I'd get pizza with Garrett Gilbert, and ask him about his failures as a quarterback (cue the high school version of me, punching a hole through the wall). I'd spend weekends at Disch Falk-Field, listening to Augie Garrido talk about the human spirit. I'd play intramural softball, and stand in the outfield as our former sports editor (requisite Dan Hurwitz shout-out) gave up 22 runs in one inning. I'd see pitching nearly as bad covering the Colorado Rockies a year later. I'd go to Big 12 Media Days with Nick and Sameer, and we'd ask Robert Griffin III about his chances of winning the Heisman that fall, and then we'd watch him win the Heisman.
I'd get a new dog, and a cat.
I'd turn 21 and then I'd turn 22 and then oh man, I'm getting old.
There was nothing to worry about. It's been a wonderful ride, even if it did go way too fast. Texas forever.
Trey Scott started working at The Daily Texan in fall 2010 as a sports staff writer. He has been sports editor, associate managing editor and is now the managing editor. He encourages all of you to keep searching for the perfect lede.

No, Sweden, hand grenade attacks aren't an 'image' problem
Stockholm was shaken by three explosions in one night last week. But the blasts didn't even make headlines. With violence rising, the country's government seems more concerned with downplaying the problem instead of tackling it.
Three explosions in one night would be front page news in any first-world city. But when Stockholm reverberated to multiple blasts in one night last week, national broadcaster SVT's nightly broadcast was silent, relegating the news to its web coverage instead. One of the targets, a Syrian Orthodox church, had already been bombed twice in the past year.
But in Sweden, explosions no longer make the news. In 2018 there were 162 bombings reported to police, and 93 reported in the first five months of this year, 30 more than during the same period in 2018. The level of attacks is "extreme in a country that is not at war," Crime Commissioner Gunnar Appelgren told SVT last year.
At least 19 cars burned, barber shop rocked by EXPLOSION in Stockholm suburb
The use of hand grenades is a purely Swedish phenomenon too, with no other country in Europe reporting their use on such a level, a police manager told Swedish Radio in 2016, a year after attacks first spiked.
The grenades used almost exclusively originate in the former Yugoslavia, and are sold in Sweden for around $100 per piece. But while only three hand grenades were thrown in Kosovo between 2013 and 2014, more than 20 have been used in Sweden every year since 2015.
More broadly, homicide has risen in Sweden, with more than 300 shootings reported last year, causing 45 deaths. Though homicide rates had been in decline since 2002, they again began trending upwards in 2015, as did rapes and sexual assaults, which more than tripled in the last four years.
Of course, 2015 was also the year in which Sweden flung open its doors to more than 160,000 asylum seekers, more per capita than any other European country. The right have blamed these newcomers for the rising rates of homicide and sexual violence, and Denmark's former Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen told Swedish television last year that he often uses "Sweden as a deterring example" of mass immigration gone wrong.
What would any country in the throes of a crime wave do? In Sweden's case, the government and media have launched a concerted campaign to downplay the problem.
In February 2017, a month after a hand grenade was lobbed through the window of a police station in Katrineholm and days after another exploded in Södertälje, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put out a press release debunking "simplistic and occasionally inaccurate information about migration, integration and crime in Sweden." In it, gun crime was portrayed as a consequence of "criminal conflicts" and rising sexual violence attributed to a change in the definition of "rape" in Swedish law. The grenade attacks weren't mentioned, and the claim that the government isn't doing enough to stamp out crime was dismissed.
The publication rubbished the link between immigrants and crime. However, a recent study from the Swedish Defence University has warned that the Swedish justice system is ill-equipped to police the parallel societies developing in immigrant neighborhoods, and newspaper Dagens Nyheter pointed out that 90 percent of shooting perpetrators in Sweden are either first or second generation immigrants.
Swedish police have identified 50 neighborhoods it considers "vulnerable" – a term many have taken as a euphemism for "no-go zones." In tackling crime within them, the government has come up with some novel solutions, like implementing a 'grenade amnesty' last year, and kindly asking residents of violence-plagued Malmo to "stop shooting" each other.
Neither measure seems to have worked.
Still, the government would seemingly rather Sweden be associated with IKEA and social cohesion than immigrant gangs and grenade attacks. After all, admitting to the crime wave would undermine the supposed success of the Nordic model, and suggesting that it may be connected with immigration would call into question Sweden's self-righteous status as a "humanitarian superpower," as former Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom described the country in 2015.
To that end, the government has not ordered a police crackdown in crime-stricken neighborhoods or held a national debate on integration. Instead it has launched a PR campaign to fix Sweden's tarnished image abroad. The Swedish taxpayer funds the operation of the Swedish Institute to the tune of nearly $50 million per year. The institute is a sort of in-house PR agency that "promotes interest in Sweden around the world."
Among its projects are English-language videos downplaying the country's newfound reputation for crime, and the @sweden Twitter account, which spends its time literally telling critics "nothing has happened here in Sweden."
You think that Swedish police have lost control? The 'no-go zones' are in fact 'go-go zones'. #FactCheck pic.twitter.com/m0Aoi9lW59
— Sweden.se (@swedense) February 25, 2017
More than 14,000 journalists, authors and politicians have been blocked by @sweden for asking difficult questions, among them Israel's ambassador to the country. However, the account's curators reversed course when some online media kicked up a stink.
"The truth is that we are a country that gives the rest of the democratic world hope," Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lövin said last January, weeks after grenade attacks in Malmo, Stockholm and Gothenburg. In Stockholm, an elderly man died when he picked up an unexploded grenade near a metro station.
Meanwhile, with paramedics, firefighters and postmen refusing to serve high-crime immigrant neighborhoods, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven publicly denied the existence of 'no-go zones'. Stockholm Police Chief Erik Åkerlund told Swedish Radio a year earlier that 50 neighborhoods identified by police as "vulnerable areas" were "more like 'go-go zones.'"
Less than a week after Åkerlund's interview was aired, a man was hospitalized when a grenade ripped the facade of a house apart in Lindängen, a suburb of Malmo added to the list of "go-go zones" that year.
Call them what you will, but zones characterized by bombings, shootings, and an atmosphere that forbids essential services from entering without police escorts are no-go zones. Endemic bombings are the hallmark of countries at war, not countries that give "the rest of the democratic world hope." And "humanitarian superpowers" should at bare minimum ensure their own citizens – native and immigrant – are protected against hand grenade attacks.
Sweden does not have an image problem. Sweden has a crime problem.

Q: Swift 3 Timer in a Class not firing I have a class:
class GameManager {...

and within it I have this func:
func startGame() {

        msgTimer = Timer(timeInterval: 0.5, target: self, selector: #selector(typeMessage(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

}

and the selector it calls:
@objc func typeMessage(_ sender:Timer) {

        if textCount > strInitText.characters.count {
            let strThisChar = strInitText[strInitText.index(strInitText.startIndex, offsetBy: textCount)]
            strDisplayText = strDisplayText + String(strThisChar)
            print(strDisplayText)
        }

    }

But the selector never gets called.

A: Change
msgTimer = Timer(timeInterval: 0.5, target: self, selector: #selector(typeMessage(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

to
msgTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 0.5, target: self, selector: #selector(typeMessage(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

A: This timer needs to be scheduled on a run loop (via -[NSRunLoop addTimer:]) before it will fire.
And call it from the main thread as follows:
DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in
        self?.msgTimer = Timer(timeInterval: 0.5, target: self, selector: #selector(self.typeMessage(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
        RunLoop.current.add(self.msgTimer, forMode: RunLoopMode.commonModes)
}

However, I recommend you to use scheduledTimer in this instance to remove this step:

Creates a timer and schedules it on the current run loop in the default mode.

Be sure to invalidate the timer when you are done with it as follows:
self.msgTimer.invalidate()

Satan's Wrath – Aeons of Satan's Reign Review
On November 13, 2013 By Madam X
"It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told." "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." "Yes, it will, Precious, won't it? It will get the hose!" Just like Buffalo Bill strutting his handiwork, Satan's Wrath have returned full of, thrashy, blackened, Greek bombasity. They've recovered their Frankensteined Venom and Possessed skin-suits from the far reaches of their respective musty wardrobes and with the help of their trusty BeDazzler, they've given them a brand spanking new lease on life!" BeDazzled by the Devil? What else needs to be said about this homage to old school black/death/thrash and all things Venom and Possessed. Nothing!
Slutvomit – Swarming Darkness Review
On September 16, 2013 By Madam X
"If an outbreak of evil's what you're after, raise your iron fist to this slab of sleazy, down and dirty Sodom worship! Not only is Slutvomit's homage to mid-80's era metal a throwback to the blackened speed metal served up by early Sodom and a few other bands of the era, but their band name could almost have been poached direct from Obsessed by Cruelty." It's easy to love shameless Sodom worship, because Sodom is so damn loveable! But can it charm the fickle Mistress known as Madam X?

Artist Mike Beanan hangs up a fish, made from a cardboard box, as he helps set up a kelp forest during Kelpfest 2013 at Main Beach.
Laguna Beach's annual Kelpfest was born out of frustration.
Every time Nancy Caruso heard people grouse about kelp washing up on local beaches, she'd want to "bang her head against a wall." To her, that was akin to planting trees only to gripe when they shed leaves.
The Garden Grove resident — who founded Get Inspired Inc., a nonprofit specializing in environmental education and conservation programs — was discussing what she deemed an absurd situation with her friend when inspiration struck.
They decided to create a festival whose sole purpose would be to generate awareness about kelp, a type of seaweed that grows in underwater forests and plays a critical role in overall marine health.
"It's ridiculous," said Caruso, who has spent a decade working to restore kelp to the ocean waters off Laguna and Newport Beach. "I realized that I'd missed some people in the education process. If they knew how important kelp was, they wouldn't complain about its presence."
Now in its fifth year, Kelpfest will return to Main Beach from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 26. Caruso, 41, makes it known that this is not a money-making endeavor — she and other participants only want to foster an appreciation for kelp.
Guests will be able to learn about kelp, purchase kelp-themed items and interact with the artists, including jeweler Emilio Vega and painters Susan MacLeod and Erik Wong. Food, arts and crafts, face-painting and games will be available. Bands including Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders and the Island Bazaar's Ukulele Club will provide live entertainment.
"Most people are not scuba divers, so it's difficult to convey the beauty of kelp to those who have not been underwater," Caruso said. "We have to convey their importance very quickly to someone just walking by on the beach. We do that with a lot of art, and Laguna is very good at art."
Photographer Josie Iselin, who uses a flatbed scanner and computer to create portraits of specimens from the natural world, will help in that regard.
Iselin, who built her first series around dryer lint, recalled a trip to Duxbury Reef in Marin County during which she found scraps of seaweed. On first glance, her find seemed dull, but upon holding it up the sky, she realized it was magenta with interesting details.
The photographer, 52, has written and designed seven books combining art and science, the latest being "An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed." She stumbled across a mention of the upcoming Kelpfest while Googling terms related to marinology. Although based in San Francisco, Iselin contacted Caruso, keen to contribute.
"I felt that we were kindred spirits, coming at the same issue from different angles, and that is making people aware that seaweed, algae and kelp are as crucial to the health of oceans as are fish, whales, seals and others," said Iselin, who will sell copies of her book in Laguna Beach. "It's like seaweed are being able to say, 'Hey, I'm important too!'"
According to Louise Thornton, chairwoman of the Laguna Ocean Foundation, a sponsor of Kelpfest since its inception, the large seaweeds belonging to the brown algae family flourish in shallow nutrient-rich waters. Kelp is known for its high growth rate — several feet a day, eventually reaching a height of 100 to 250 feet — and is utilized in the food, medical, dental and renewable energy industries.
"Kelpfest celebrates the giant kelp forests and their return to Orange County after being mostly gone for more than 25 years," Thornton said. "The restoration efforts of thousands of people have restored this precious habitat for the more than 800 species that rely on them."
Caruso said kelp is known as a keystone species, without which no animals or fish can survive underwater. It's the same as having a forest without any trees, she said. But overfishing, runoff and El Niño conditions — an ocean-warming pattern that alters weather — decimated kelp in Southern California.
She responded by working with middle school children across Orange and Los Angeles counties to grow kelp and raise white sea bass in their science classes, and also recruited and trained nearly 250 divers to clear the "fields" of sea urchins and plant baby kelp.
"We don't usually see ecosystems collapse," Caruso said. "It takes a lot of pressure for that to happen, and the fact that it did means we really screwed up."
A beach cleanup is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. April 26, followed by a "earth hug" at noon. The event concludes with a drum circle.
Thornton said the Laguna Ocean Foundation will also offer tidepool tours of the Heisler Park intertidal zone.
"One day, I'd love to see Forest Avenue become Kelp Forest Avenue," Caruso said. "I'd like to see the Kelpfest extend all the way down Forest and even a parade with people dressed in kelp costumes."

STUDENTS' STORIES | Marisa Sergi '15 Wins Title of Miss New York Collegiate America
By The Cornell Daily Sun | September 16, 2014
By REBECCA BLAIR
Marisa Sergi '15, a viticulture and enology major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the newly-crowned winner of the Miss New York Collegiate America pageant, said a "big factor" that drew her to compete in the pageant was its anti-bullying campaign.
Sergi, who is responsible for promoting the pageant's anti-bullying platform — Building Respect and Values for Everyone, or BRAVE — said she now wants to help school-aged children overcome their personal challenges because she dealt with similar issues growing up.

United Healthcare posts a provider bulletin online each month, and the June 2017 issue has a page describing upgrades and extensions to genomic test pre-authorization requirements. The PDF is here; the genetic preauthorization policy page is on page 17. The article adds, "Details will be published in a future bulletin."
Waves of tighter genetic test payment controls have been rolling through the payer industry. For example, Medicare genomic test payments actually fell from 2014 to 2015, due to tighter controls on CYP (pharmacogenetic) testing that cut out several hundred million dollars of services.
A mini-industry of standalone companies exist to help payers mediate and control payments to laboratories (BeaconLBS; Anthem AIM; Avalon; Concert Genetics; Evicore; and others.) These are often called LBM - laboratory benefit managers - in analogy to PBMs, pharmacy benefit managers.

July 2021 Government Affairs Update | Modular Building Institute
July 2021 Government Affairs Update
MBI's Government Affairs staff recently met to discuss our strategy for the remainder of 2021, specific to U.S. federal legislation and infrastructure spending. While not the only focus area for MBI's Government Affairs team, Congress is debating three key pieces of federal legislation worth trillions of dollars which could have a long-lasting impact on the modular construction industry.
Summaries are below. For more detail—including a complete, members-only PDF report on the items below—please email MBI's government affairs director Jon Hannah-Spacagna.
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, 2022
In early 2021, MBI engaged with key Congressional offices to support a recommendation of FEMA's use of modular construction in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill report. In late April 2021, we met with Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) to promote a modular building industry-friendly provision in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.
MBI also engaged with Rep. Charlie Crist's (R-FL) office to support the inclusion of Rep. Torres' language before the deadline passed. MBI also worked with Rep. Crist's office to include specific language in the report supporting the use of temporary facilities for STEM classrooms following a major disaster.
Thanks to MBI's efforts, modular-friendly language will be included in multiple portions of the appropriations bill.
The American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan and Potential Impact on the Modular Building Industry
Earlier this year, President Biden released the American Jobs Plan, a $2.25 trillion proposal designed to create jobs through upgrading public infrastructure, revitalizing manufacturing, prioritizing workforce training, and expanding long-term health care services. The Jobs Plan is the first of a two-part package intended to revive the economy from the COVID-19 recession.
The second part—the American Families Plan—is a $1.8 trillion investment in "human infrastructure," to expand health insurance coverage, childcare subsidies, and access to education.
The Plan includes several components and provisions of interest to the modular industry, including:
•	Affordable housing
•	Housing supply
•	Eliminating state and local exclusionary zoning laws
•	Workforce development
•	Increasing federal corporate income tax rate to 28 percent
•	Labor
MBI is closely monitoring all facets of this plan and will continue to work toward its industry-supportive goals.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal
On June 10, 2021, a bipartisan group of Senators compromised on infrastructure spending resulting in the current Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework. Endorsed by President Biden, this package would spend $1.2 trillion over eight years.
On July 28, 2021, a group of bipartisan Senate negotiators reached a final agreement on the BID. This package includes $944 billion in new and baseline spending over five years for infrastructure including highways, transit, rail, broadband, and resilience.
Current proposed financing includes utilizing unused unemployment insurance funds, unused relief funds from 2020 emergency relief legislation, and state and local investment in broadband infrastructure. When final details and bill text are released, MBI will analyze these funding sources for any items that may be problematic and engage with relevant Congressional offices and federal agencies.
The MBI government affairs team will continue to provide updates and breaking news as new information is received on these key issues.

First aired in 1998, Cowboy Bebop is another oldie with high ratings. But this time, I feel the praise is more justly deserved than that of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I reviewed in the March issue.
Set in the year 2071, Cowboy Bebop tells the story of some bounty hunters, (cowboys,) who travel around the Solar System in their ship, the Bebop. There isn't a lot of the Real World Physics that was displayed in Planetes, but I do have to hand it to the creators, though. The visual effects for entering and leaving the hyperspace gateways, are what can only be referred to as Darn Cool.
Spike Spiegel is a Martian. (No, not a little green man with six eyes and tentacles, he's a human that was born on Mars.) He is skilled at martial arts, which many people learn the hard way. He is also handy with a gun, and a good pilot. Spike usually has a laid-back attitude, often sarcastic, and has fluffy hair.
Jet Black is the actual owner of the Bebop. A big guy, he's the group's jack-of-all-trades. He can do everything from repairing the ship, to making dinner. Jet is also skilled at hand-to-hand combat, but unlike Spike, who uses more technique, Jet uses raw muscle to get the job done.
Faye Valentine is brash, and very lazy. At times, she relies on the guys to do all the actual work of bounty hunting, while she reaps the benefits. However, she will sometimes go out on her own. And in a fight, she can handle herself fairly well.
Edward is a 13-year-old, hyperactive girl. She is extremely good at hacking computer systems, and is known as "Radical Edward". She is also very flexible and strong, being able to walk around on her hands while scratching her nose with her foot. She rarely walks anywhere, preferring more fun movements like rolling or flipping. For all these reasons, I like Ed.
Ein is a dog. A very smart dog. He is also very fond of Ed.
One part that I particularly liked a lot, was when the guys got ahold of an old Betamax tape from the early 2000's. Nobody knew what it was, since in 2071, they all use discs for storage. (Just like we do now.) It made my skin crawl when Spike started pulling the tape out of the cassette. "NO! YOU'LL RUIN IT!" It was a realistic reaction for someone from the late 21st century, though. And so, I laughed at the whole thing.
Another notable thing about the series, is the English dub. Normally, I abhor dubs. Rarely do they sound as good as the original Japanese. Cowboy Bebop is the rare exception where the dub is on-par with the originals. Many people even say that it's better than the original. Now I don't know about that, but it's certainly not worse.

This pit was located in an orchard across the railway line, not far from Meldreth Station and close to a former footpath. Old maps show no evidence of occupation on the site.
The diverse pottery assemblage from this pit included 11 Bronze Age sherds, three Romano-British sherds, 16 sherds of St Neots Ware dating to the late Anglo Saxon period, Medieval Sandy Ware, Hedingham Ware and Hertfordshire Greyware dating to the 12th-14th centuries and seven Victorian-era sherds.
The other finds included glass, plastic fireworks containers, brick, fragments of oyster shell and large quantities of unworked flint. This pit produced the largest assemblage of knapped flints from the Meldreth test pitting project, comprising one primary flake, 11 secondary flakes and eight tertiary flakes, and the relatively large quantities of worked flint from the pit indicate some potential for substantial lithic scatters to be located in this area. The faunal assemblage included bones of cow, sheep/goat and some other unidentifiable remains.
Excavated in the far SE corner of the modern distribution of housing in Meldreth, Test Pit 20 produced a surprisingly rich and diverse assemblage of pottery indicating past settlement in this vicinity. This commenced some time during the Bronze Age, with the pottery finds suggesting that intact, stratified prehistoric contexts may be preserved at below 0.5m depth relating to residential housing activities. The area was also used during the Roman period, perhaps as fields and activities continued into the Anglo Saxon and high medieval eras. The area was then abandoned in the late medieval period, likely relating to a contraction of the village due to the effects of the Black Death, and was not used again until the 19th century when it appears to have functioned as fields.
Test pit 20 is located near to the River Mel, and the number of finds may indicate Bronze Age settlement in this vicinity, sited close to the stream.

How Ricky Bary Harbord can be a pregnant former First Lady
Bunny was cycling through various Quick and Dirty B-Movie Plots and was wondering how it worked, because she kept getting stuff like:
Ricky Bary Harbord is a beautiful pregnant former first lady with a song in his heart and a spring in his step. Valeri Barbara Bramlett is a cigar-chomping gun-slinging farmboy searching for her wife's true killer. And together, they must save Elvis from the Illinois Nazis.
"How does it work?" she asked. "How can Ricky be pregnant and the former First Lady? And how can Valeri be a cigar-chomping farmboy?"
"Well," I said, "I know several women who like smoking cigars."
"But Ricky as a former First Lady?"
"Sex change operation."
"And pregnant?"
"Okay, you got me there."
How it works. Basically, it's a template:
<male-name> <male-name> <family-name> is <article> <adjective> <adjective> <occupation> <mission>. <female-name> <female-name> <family-name> is <article> <adjective> <adjective> <occupation> <mission>. And together, they must <joint-mission>.
You know, like all good generative text programs. But I have a single list of adjectives, occupations and missions that I pick from. And while I do adjust the gender specific pronouns, I don't adjust any other gender specific terms, partly because I'm lazy, and partly because it makes for some real amusing plots. Even though it does sound ludicrous that Ricky can be pregnant, if Hollywood can make Arnold Schwarzenegger pregnant, I'm sure they can find a way to make Ricky a pregnant former First Lady.
To save these plots, Bunny had to cut-n-paste them into another document. I then realized that it wouldn't be hard at all to add a bookmark feature to the Quick and Dirty B-Movie Plot Generator—all I had to do was save the random number generator seed and make it part of the URL. And lo' you can now bookmark specific plots that are generated, which is a feature I don't see at They Fight Crime.
