Be 'adult' about who you mix with
Torbay health boss advises caution
Joe Ives, local democracy reporter www.radioexe.co.uk
Torbay's health boss wants residents to take an "adult," risk-based approach to social activities as covid cases rise across the Bay.
Latest complete figures (the week to Sunday 5 December) show covid infection rates across Devon have risen for the fourth week in a row with all parts of the county having an infection rate higher than the UK average.
Torbay recorded 934 new cases, up 57 on the previous week. The seven per cent rise takes the infection rate in the Bay to 686 per 100,000 of the population – almost 30 per cent higher than the national average of 496.
With the rising cases and concerns over the new Omicron variant, Torbay's director of public health Lincoln Sargeant advises residents to take precautions when meeting other people.
He said: "I think rather than saying 'don't' I think it's a matter of people working through what kind of activity is it? How many people are involved? Are there any vulnerable people that are there? And based on those kind of questions, decide whether you should go ahead or not and if you're going ahead [think about] how you're going to make it as safe as possible – is there an option to meet outdoors for example?
"As a standard, any meetings that we're going to with people who are not in our household or general social circles that we're already interacting with we should lateral flow tests done as a minimum, so I would say it's more of people thinking about the measures they can take and how they can mitigate risk rather than saying 'this' or 'that' activity shouldn't go ahead.
"Let's be responsible and adult, and look at our activities, do the relevant risk assessments and act accordingly."
Dr Sargeant will change his advice if infections start rising in the over sixties. He said that although this age group tends to be more prudent than younger ages, he will be keeping a careful eye on hospital admissions, especially as family groups of different generations meet up over Christmas.
He said: "The kinds of triggers to change the advice would be if we suddenly saw a spike in [hospital] admissions and if we began to see the over sixties' rate of infection beginning to ratchet up. Then it might be a situation of saying we might want to tighten up on our advice and restrictions."
Leader of Torbay council Steve Darling (Liberal Democrats, Barton with Watcombe) added: "The buck does stop with the government. It's they who give the national guidance."
More than five cases of the Omicron variant have been identified in Devon. This more transmissible form of the disease is expected to overtake Delta to become the dominant form of covid.
Health officials are encouraging eligible members of the public to take up ''booster' shots when offered. Vaccination drives are expected in the Bay in the new year.
In Torbay, 85 per cent of residents aged 12 or over have received one dose of a covid vaccine, while 79 per cent have had both jabs. Forty-six per cent have had their third vaccine.
Across Devon, 1,372 people have now died within 28 days of a positive covid test. A total of 206 of these deaths were in Torbay.
People aged 30 and over can now book their booster jab two months after their second dose, a month before becoming eligible to receive the third injection.

We all seem to be in love with social media to some extent or other. Some are avid fans who desperately want to boost their profiles whenever there's a chance: others are a little more laid back, but would never turn down the opportunity to get a little extra publicity as long as it didn't involve doing a lot of extra work. So, if someone said to you that you could increase your Twitter following without too much effort, what would you do? Would you just ignore it and argue that there are no such things as free lunches, or would you grab it with both hands and give it a go? Well, news from over the pond, from Technshare, seems to indicate that making 3 simple changes to your Twitter account could see your number of followers increase dramatically. Judging by the reactions and comments of those who've tried this, it appears to do exactly what it claims to. So, what are these 3 steps? What lengths do you have to go to, to get these magic followers?
It's actually really simple, and shouldn't put you out too much. Tip one is a given and as simple as you like: tips two and three may take a little more effort, but promise dividends. So, here goes.
If, like many people, you have an automatic redirection set on your thank you pages for visitors who've either read your blog or newsletter, or bought one of your products, you could be missing a trick. These visitors are to some extent a captive audience as you've already got them there. Doesn't it make sense then to make the most of the opportunity? Whilst they're there, just ask them to follow you on Twitter. How simple was that?
Human nature is odd at the best of times. We all want the help of experts, but often resent or ignore their opinions when we eventually find them. It's almost as if, by becoming an expert and an authority on a subject, they automatically rule themselves out of the picture and become a bit of a pariah. Maybe familiarity does breed contempt, or perhaps it's just a quirk of human nature. The thing is, your expertise may be shunned by those you know, but that's no reason not to share it with others who might want to hear your opinions.
Guest blogging can involve a lot of work, and you may have to write to different standards and conventions than you're used to, but it might be worth it. It easy to base your articles on the comments that have been left at the end of blogs, and then develop these arguments further. When you write make sure you ask for readers to follow you on Twitter. If you've written well and engaged the reader, there's no reason why they won't.
Don't be frightened by the thought of setting up an online newspaper. It isn't difficult. Besides which, it's actually just based on a Twitter list, a user and a keyword. You decide how often you want it to be published and then just send it to your fellow tweeters. All you're doing is creating your own daily, and we've all seen lots of those on Twitter like Sprout Social and paper.li. They're easy to follow and easy to set up. The beauty is that they're automated and the main contributing authors are named and acknowledged in the tweet. You'll soon find that many of these will start following you back and maybe even re-tweet the newspaper to their own lists. The number of new followers you might gather is potentially enormous.
So, there you are. Three simple tips that promise a lot, and if rumours are true, deliver on the promises. Why don't you give it a go and see what happens.


The Ride Janie Ride Foundation would like to introduce to you two very special people. We have been blessed to meet Ava Triana and Carter McCann. They both have been diagnosed with various types of cancer. It is our honor to have them as part of the Ride Janie Ride family and we take great pride in announcing that Ava and Carter will be the recipients for Ride Janie Ride 2018. Continue scrolling to read each of their biographies. Ride Janie Ride Foundation would like to thank all of those who nominated individuals. We will not forget any of the nominees and hope that they may be a part of Ride Janie Ride for 2019.
Ava was born on June 8, 2015. That was the best day of our lives! This tiny human we looked forward to for 9 months finally had a face, a touch and a smile. Even after Ava (and our whole family) was diagnosed with Stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma on September 12, 2017, that smile never went away. The doctors found cancer in her lymph nodes, liver, all of her bones and bone marrow. Ava was given a 45% survival rate. As you can imagine, our hearts were broken and still are to date. Ava will need months of chemo therapy, two stem cell transplants, resection surgery, months of radiation, months of immunotherapy and, by the grace of God she reaches remission, she will have a lifetime of scans and maintenance. Ava is such a light in our lives, she can honestly light up any room! She truly makes the darkest days bright. She is spunky and sassy but, also kind and loving. Her favorite song is You're Holy by Florida Georgia Line which she sings loud and proud! The words really touch our souls…"you're an angel…tell me you're never leaving…'cause you're the best thing I know and I can believe in..you're holy". We are so proud of her for being so strong and a true fighter every day. We will fight by her side as long as it takes to get our baby girl healthy. We have been blessed with so many wonderful people who have touched our lives. With the love, prayers and support of friends, family and our community, along with love from Ava, we will get through this difficult time in our lives.
November 3rd, 2012 Carter turned three! Three days later, on the 6th, Carter started limping, gradually stopped walking and was brought into the hospital on November 10th. Some tests were run and the verdict was a septic joint in his left ankle. He was taken into surgery at our local children's hospital the next morning and had his ankle joint aspirated. He was given a PICC line and had an aggressive antibiotic regimen started. Over the next 6 weeks, Carter began to improve and start walking again. He was given a clean bill of health and had his PICC line taken out shortly thereafter. The night of January 8th Carter stopped walking again and worried that the infection had returned we rushed him back to the hospital. This time we were relieved to find out he had just broken a bone in his foot. They attributed this to the swelling from the infection and gave him a cast and sent us on our way. The next week Carter's right ankle started to give him pain and started to swell. Worried that the infection had spread to a different joint we took him to the children's hospital downtown to see if we could get a second opinion. They gave him pain medicine and worried that he may have Rheumatoid Arthritis and gave us a referral to see their Rheumatologist. They did not have any appointments available for the next 8 weeks. We took the appointment and went home feeling unsatisfied. Within the week multiple joints started to swell. He was still in a cast and not walking but now with the loss of ambulation in his hands and we took him back to the children's hospital downtown. They admitted him under the care of a Rheumatologist who ran a plethora of tests, scans, and assorted biopsies. His Talus had healed and he was able to have his cast removed even though he was not walking yet. Within the week Carter was given a cocktail of medications… (I wouldn't even call that because it was more like a meal). Within a week, we had gotten all of the results of his tests. Nothing! They could not find anything. He didn't have any of the cancers they had screened him for. He did not have any known rheumatological conditions, nor did he have any blood disorders. We were left without answers. They continued to treat him with steroids and anti-inflammatory medicines because that is what seemed to work at the time. Over the next few months, we were in and out of the hospital every few weeks. After 12 weeks of weekly IV steroids, they attempted a low dose of chemo called Methotrexate. He stayed out of inpatient for almost a year but still had brief flare-ups that would land us in the hospital now and again. On June 25th, 2014 one of those flares landed us inpatient where they started him on a new medication, called Remicade. After discharge, his next dose was July 23rd. It is standard that blood work is drawn when this specific medicine is given to monitoring any possible side effects. July 24th we received a call that we needed to bring Carter back into the hospital because they had seen some abnormal white blood cells in his lab work. Once at the hospital they redrew his labs to make sure that it was not a mistake. The lab work showed leukemia blasts. Specifically ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). Currently, Carter is in remission. The last time they checked his bone marrow he was considered NED (No Evidence of Disease). We're phasing out of chemo treatment right now, but with the past, (almost 4 years of this) we've got some adjusting to do. The side effects will continue to follow him for months if not years to come.

I enjoy all of your nature photos!
I think for wildlife you'd probably need a camera and not a phone so you can zoom in and not startle them.
But then again you are Snow White or the Beast Master so maybe they won't run away!
I think you get some pretty good ones!
Awe, thanks. I do tend to get awfully close most of the time which is awesome and a little scary at the same time.

What is the maximum speed a 300cc-400cc motorcycle can go?
300cc motorcycles may be the best type of motorbike for anyone just starting. They come with the most advanced features for every Rider However; the question is if the maximum speed 300cc motorcycles are safe.
What is the maximum speed of 300cc motorcycles?
Most motorcycles with 300cc engines can attain an average speed of around 100mph (160km); however, it is essential to note that this varies widely among motorcycles. The stated rate is determined with the help of riding equipment, the weight of the Rider, and other elements that influence the speed limit of the vehicle.
The speed that the 300cc motorcycles can reach is relatively secure, particularly when compared with larger engines that can attain much faster speeds. This speed limit of 300cc motorcycles is one that anyone can manage and won't even get to.
What are the main factors that affect the speed of a motorcycle with 300cc?
The weight of the motorcycle
The most crucial factor that influences the speed of a motorbike is its weight—the vehicle itself. The majority of manufacturers are working to reduce the mass of their motorcycles. Each year they introduce new models that focus on lighter than the previous model without sacrificing performance.
To reduce the weight of the motorbike, a large portion of the parts have been replaced with more lightweight and durable pieces that can reduce the weight.
If you're trying to achieve the highest speed, it is essential to be aware of the bike's weight, which is why most sports bikes are built to be lightweight.
Weight of the bike (Rider, Pillion, Luggage)
The other factor that affects reaching the highest speed is the weight of the motorcycle, including the Rider's weight, the number of pillions, and the luggage weight.
If you're concerned about speed, ensure that you maintain your weight under easy control by doing regular exercises.
Be sure to pack the minimum amount of luggage if you're planning to go on an extended ride. In addition, be sure you ride in a group If you're worried about speed.
I believe that reaching the maximum speed of every motorcycle is mainly demanded by racers; however, if you're a regular rider whose goal is to enjoy riding while enjoying the natural surroundings and riding. In that case, the variance in speed isn't a problem as much.
Tips: There's no need to gain weight if you're not interested in racing or taking on challenges and only use motorcycles for weekend and work outings. Enjoy your ride! Do not worry about tiny speed increases.
All-around Ergonomics and Aerodynamics
The third major factor that affects the speed of motorcycles is the design of their chassis and general ergonomics.
The hand bar's position can also play a crucial role in ergonomics and influence the bike's speed.
Suppose you've noticed that all racing and sports bikes come with a fast-moving forward-leaning position. The primary reason for this is to increase the efficiency of aerodynamics on the motorcycle.
When speed is high, the positioning of the sports or supersport motorcycle allows the aerodynamics to remain stable and provides air that doesn't become resistant to rate.
With the aggressive forward-leaning riding position, The air doesn't get in the way of the Rider, which allows the Rider to keep the speed.
Always look at the design of the frame and the windshield, as it will help you achieve the best speed of your motorcycle.
The engines used in motorcycles
The final and most crucial factor that affects the overall performance and performance is that of the motor itself.
When we talk about the 300cc to 400cc engine motorcycles, it is essential to consider the strokes and the Cylinders that could affect the engine's performance.
Because even though the engine's displacement is the same, strokes and the cylinder's configuration differ, the overall performance and speed of the machine will change.
To not be bored with the details of engine specs, I'll give you an overview that will help you make first decisions and understand the impact on performance.
Let's first discuss the strokes of an engine, and then we'll discuss the cylinder's configuration on the motorcycle.
2-stroke engines versus 4-stroke engines
There are two kinds of motorcycle engines are, 4-stroke and 2-stroke, and both machines have pros and pros. However, if we look at the power and speed, 2-stroke engines were more powerful and faster than engines with 4-stroke.
But, as I mentioned, every motor has its advantages and disadvantages. Even though 2-stroke engines are quicker, it doesn't mean you have to pick one over the other because 2-stroke motors have plenty of drawbacks.
The number of Cylinders
The number of Cylinders in your motorcycle is one factor that significantly affects how fast your motorbike is. Cylinders compress and burn a mixture of fuel to convert energy into heat. There are three types of cylinders, and each has an individual speed:
4-cylinder – 4-cylinder is typically used in sports and expensive motorcycles, particularly in engines with more than 600cc. However, you may also see it in 300cc motorcycles.
2-cylinder – 2-cylinder is used for any motorcycle with less than 500cc. This means that the majority of 300cc motorbikes come with a 2-cylinder.
1-cylinder – The 1-cylinder used in motorcycles is designed than suitable for off-road motorcycles and smaller for street motorcycles and has the lowest speed of the three kinds of cylinders.
The general rule is that you do not have to be concerned about 300cc bikes that come with 2- or 4-cylinders. I prefer 300cc motorcycles with 2-cylinders because the 4-cylinder of a 300cc bike will be very speedy and less risky for newbies.
Motorcycles that are expensive versus cheaper models
The most expensive motorcycles are more efficient because you get the value you pay for; when you buy costly bikes, you'll be able to achieve more incredible speeds by using more powerful engines and wind protection, as well as sharper better-equipped wheels, and many cylinders. This is something that typically you don't find on a low-cost motorcycle. Therefore, remember that the greater you pay on a bike, the more outstanding quality, and speed.
What are the best 300CC Bike Models for 2022?
It is lightweight (149kg) and sturdy. It is a stable and lightweight (149kg) bike. KTM 390 Duke defies handling expectations despite its steel chassis, claiming to be among the lightest motorbikes available on the market. It has a one-cylinder, four-stroke 373cc engine. Tall riders will appreciate the bike because of its 830.5mm seat height. Although it is more significant than other bikes listed, it is an excellent choice with an impressive top speed of 104mph.
HONDA CBR300R/CB300R
The Honda CBR300R and the Honda CB300R share identical engines. You'll notice the differences in the design and appearance, with the CBR sporting a fairing with a full-length with a sporty appearance, while the CB is a naked street bike that is more upright in its riding posture. The CB is a more modern bike with upside-down forks, a radial front brake lever, and a modern design. The CBR features 785mm of height for the seat and weighs 164kg, while the CB features a seat height of 799mm and weighs 143kg. Both have an engine of 286cc that is 4-stroke with 30 bhp and 20 ft-lbs of torque which might not seem to be much but performs at a top standard.
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is an adventure bike that can travel and commute, and it does offer off-road capabilities due to its spoked wheels and 19-inch front. The Versys has a well-balanced and thus smooth parallel-twin engine that produces 39bhp and 19ft-lb of torque. It can travel approximately 215 miles. The seat is tall at 845mm, and it's said not to be the comfiest. However, the riding position is comfortable, and the bike isn't too narrow which shouldn't deter those shorter from looking for an adventure vehicle. This bike is 175kg and is easy to drive.
For a bike with a capacity of 300cc that has good off-road handling, The BMW G310GS is a good choice. It is an excellent choice for various riding conditions and all conditions of weather and is noted for its endurance. It can reach a top speed that can reach 105mph. It weighs 169kg and comes with an 835mm seat height. The wheel and tire dimensions allow it to take on stones, water, and rocks quickly enough. The colors are attractive as well, with available red, silver, white, and black.
The Honda Rebel provides an enjoyable ride on a bike designed to provide a complete and well-organized experience. Although it's smaller than most bikes, the cruiser-style design stands out. It offers a unique experience, with the low seat and slightly forward controls, and the framing is exposed, giving the bike a raw look. Its seating is comfortable thanks to the upright riding position, and the bike weighs at 165.1kg wet; it's effortless to maneuver and control. The engine is identical to the one in CBR300 and the CB and the CBR300 with the assist clutch and slips included, delivering a good response and a smooth lever pull.
BMW G310GR
The GS name is associated with an impressive name, and the G310GR has plenty to prove itself in many ways. And it's not going to buckle to the pressure of expectations offering a cost-effective and easy ride that's perfect for commuters. The seat offers ample space, the user-friendly controls make it easy for novice riders, and ABS-assisted brakes function effectively without feeling harsh. Its engine capacity is 33.6bhp @ 9500rpm. It also has a 313cc motor to be revved up to 10,000 rpm. It is all-around the best value for money and is an affordable entry towards BMW's BMW brand.
SINNIS TERRAIN 338
The new model for 2021 is the T380 from the award-winning Sinnis Motorcycles, is the big brother of the Terrain 125, and the ideal next bike for those who recently passed their test and wish to switch to a bigger motorcycle. The engine is an eight-valve liquid-cooled twin that produces 36bhp. It is coupled with a six-speed gearbox, making it the ideal A2 bike for adventure. With a seat height of 820mm and twin radial front calipers with upside-down forks and a front wheel of 19 inches, It joins the growing segment of small-sized adventure bikes, and it does so at an affordable price. A multi-purpose bike that deserves a serious review.
Although it was thought that the Yamaha R3 used to be an all-road vehicle, however, its latest model has changed the perception. While it's still a machine ideal for daily usage, it's more sporty than it was before, making it as suitable for your daily commute as it is for cruising through back roads. The rear shock is equipped with an extra-stiff spring that can handle potholes and speed bumps easily, and the comfy seating makes it an enjoyable ride on more extended travels. The 41.4bhp 321cc twin engine is stationary, revving to 14,000 rpm. Redline is not a problem, and its build is as just as good as ever.
Yamaha TX250
After a production run of 35 years, it appears that the Yamaha XT250 is finally heading out into the hills. The latest version is similar to the original designs, with the green/white and red/white color designs identical to those of the first year of its release. While they're not sold second-hand in the UK, they do arrive in the US by way of the second-hand marketplace over time. Although it's a comfortable two-up bike, It shines in its ability to be a city bike and for daily commutes. It is, of course, making a statement when it comes across tracks off-road that it can dig into. The XT250 comes with an aluminum frame that will please off-road riders who claim they have the appropriate amount of flexibility when riding on rough trails.
KTM RC390
The KTM RC390 is still widely acknowledged as one of the top bikes of its class because of the powerful single-cylinder motor, which makes the bike feel precise and light, especially in cornering. Its fuel efficiency is quite good and makes the RC390 an alternative for everyday commutes and longer rides if required. The taller riders will appreciate the extra legroom offered by the seat's 820mm width, and moving through traffic ought to be easy. This engine comes with a six-speed single-cylinder 373.22cc motor, generating 44bhp and weighing 147kg (dry), and is among the top characteristics of a bike. A2 license holders should put in their wish list of features.
How can I achieve the fastest speed on the 300cc motorbike?
You've just purchased a 300cc motorbike and aren't satisfied with the speed it's giving you, or perhaps you would like to speed up? If so, I would suggest following these suggestions to increase the speed of your motorcycle:

I've experienced the "fall dip" for as long as I can remember. As a child, the coming of fall meant it was time to go back to school. We had to trade in our swimsuits for appropriate school attire. It also meant that we had to replace our play time with time to do school work. As much as well all wished it weren't so, those carefree days of summer had to come to an end.
Fall reminds us that everything must come to an end, everything must die—the leaves turn brilliant colors of gold, green, orange, and red and then go brown as they die and fall to the ground. The fruits and veggies that have grown in our gardens need to be picked so we can enjoy the abundant harvest during fall and winter. Yes, it's time to harvest and store and prepare for winter.
<p">For businesses, fall also represents the entrance into the fourth quarter of the year. It means we need to make that last push to the end of the year so we can end it on a good note. Lots of us feel the need to get serious and "hunker down." Admittedly, I feel it too as I coach myself to get more serious and dedicated to my work rather than take as much leisure time to play outdoors as I did in the summertime.<p">This time of year is all about change and transition. Fall is that "in between" time when we release one lighthearted season and ready ourselves for the next heavier, darker one. It's the time when we do what we can to dig in and get things accomplished, yet we also prepare the time time ahead (i.e., the next calendar year for our businesses).
That "in between" time can make us uncomfortable. Although it represents the "neutral zone," we can feel a bit lost because we're no longer back there, and yet, we don't know what lies up ahead. The best way to navigate it is to be as gentle and easy on ourselves as possible. If we need to grieve summer's passing, allow for that. If we have dread about the impending winter, acknowledge it. Allowing is one of the most important things we can do—allow for the changing of the seasons and allowing our own responses to that change.
In my upcoming workshop, "Transitions—Thriving in the Midst of Change," which will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 9:00am to 1:00pm, we will explore aspects of change and how we can manage it. The ultimate goal is to not only "get through" the change but to actually "grow and thrive" into it. Please CLICK HERE to sign up now.


The UK's company insolvency rate is being driven higher by an ongoing scourge of late payment, according to figures from business recovery trade body R3.
In the past six months, half of all businesses surveyed by R3 have faced late payment on at least one invoice; the average victim saw 15% of their invoices go overdue; and a fifth of all company insolvency can be linked with late payments.
R3 vice-president Andrew Tate said: "Businesses know how much it costs others to chase down debts, and feel they can still get away with it.
As is often the case, sole traders are being treated most poorly, with an average of 17.3% of their invoices being paid late, compared with 12.3% of invoices owed to firms with more than 250 employees.
Mr Tate added that, for smaller companies, "the consequences of late payments are magnified" as even a single invoice not paid on time can have significant effects on a small firm's cash flow.


Think you know this story by heart? I thought so too until last year when a week of guided prayer, based entirely in scripture, caused me to take another look at it.
The first things that stood out to me were the missing parts of the story. The prodigal son was in a far off land. He didn't go hang out with a rough crowd on the wrong side of town. He skipped the country with his inheritance. I know what happened next – wild living, ending in disgrace and famine. Next thing I know, he wakes up, smells the pig wallow, and decides to throw himself on his father's mercy – smart kid.
Now the part of this story that really intrigues me is the journey home. No hopping on Jet Blue for my boy. No, he has a long, hard road home. I don't get to hear about that part of it. Why? Probably because if I am to see myself in this story, I need to be able to look at my own journey home.
How many times do you think he second guessed his decision on the road home? How many times do you think he tried to find other ways to survive on his own, only to end in failure? I know I would be thinking of anything and everything to avoid going home in disgrace, especially knowing big brother was there to rub my nose in it. I'll come back to big brother in another posting.
The other piece of this that really stands out to me is this: when he finally makes it within sight of the estate, his father sees him while he is still a long way off and rushes out to meet him. The prodigal son goes through his rehearsed speech, declaring his unworthiness. His father barely hears him, calling to the servants to prepare a banquet, dress him in fine robes, and to put a ring on his finger. After walking all that way in the heat and dust, coming home in rags, exhausted, smelling of swine – was he relieved or ashamed by such an over-the-top greeting? And if you think about it, if the father rushed out to meet him while he was still a long way off, doesn't it then stand to reason that the father and he walked home together?
For me, I was raised with religion and gained my faith, or so I thought, when I lost my father at fourteen. God in His great love had surrounded me with the people I needed to guide me through seeing my father lose a seven month battle with lung cancer. I knew it was God who provided me with all the love, guidance, and support that I needed at the time but how quickly I forgot.
By the time I was nineteen, I had begun to turn my back on every belief I had once held dear. I began to act like a spoiled brat, deciding that God had ditched me during the year I had spent with an abusive boyfriend and therefore I could do whatever I wanted.
I still went to church. I was married in the church at twenty-two and both of my sons were baptised there, but little by little I quit coming the banquet of love that is the Mass. By the time I was thirty-three, I rarely went at all.
Then my life was upended again. This time, my four year old son was dangerously ill and my marriage was falling apart. I suddenly found I couldn't pray for myself, not even for strenth to care for my son. I was so undeserving and so unworthy that the only prayers I could offer were for my innocent son, often begging God to listen to me despite my sins.
Finally, after several months of trying to cope with a child on a feeding tube twelve hours a day, the responsibility of changing the tube, caring for my eight year-old son and his needs too, seeing what was left of my marriage disintegrating before my eyes, it was all too much.
On June 16, 2006, at 1:00 AM, I collapsed under the weight of it all. The pain was too great and the darkness crashed in on me. I found myself drowning in every awful thing I had ever done and every awful thing anyone had ever done to me. I was submerged in a most hideous noise that reverberated in the depths of my soul.
I could take no more and I grabbed a knife off the end table in the living room, which had also become my sleeping quarters. I was intent on slitting my wrists. I knew I would spend an eternity trapped in Hell for committing suicide and since I was already experiencing Hell, I knew I didn't want to stay there. Finally, in desperation, I fell to my knees, knife still in hand, and cried out from the deepest part of my soul for my God to save me from myself. And He did.
I found myself surrounded by silence, wrapped in stillness, and embraced by peace. I rested in that silence, stillness, and peace until dawn. It still took me a long time to find my way back to the banquet of love and even longer to find my way to Reconciliation.
God didn't wait for me to make it back to confess my sins or even to get myself to Mass. He rushed out to meet me where I was, kneeling on the floor of my living room, surrounded by the shattered pieces of my life, drowning in darkness, knife in hand, about to take my own life. He came the moment I called out for Him.
I was too blind to see that He had been beside me and within me all along, but I know now that He walks beside me and inside me. Most importantly, He will walk home with me, even when I forget the way.

This is a light made out of paper folded into chatterboxes. The light was intended to still be read like a book as some of the chatterboxes could be picked off and opened. Inside the folded paper was a black and white sketch of an architectural design. Each drawing showed a different space within the design.
The cardboard box – redesigned.
There are so many everyday materials that can be used to create a really unique model that captures interesting and moody spatial qualities. I used a cardboard box to cut and distort into 'pillar' like shapes. By adding a person it gave the model scale.
Simple materials such as plain A4 printing paper when cut and folded create spaces with great light quality. Just hold your model against a bright light and see how it transforms the spaces inside your model. Don't forget to add a person to show how the space might feel.
A4 paper can also bend and curve quite easily – look at the powerful forms and shapes these simple paper curves create! Imagine this space to be made from glass fibre concrete – it could be a really unique building – the likes of which the great Architect Zaha Hadid might have created!
Aerial view of a foam model.
I created a purely geometric design using foam and a hot glue gun. The image shows the aerial view of the model. When light was shone through the slits made in the foam – it created a geometric pattern on the ground. It would be a wonderful space to walk through and have light dance across your face every few steps.
Paper model with no glue!
This model was a challenge set by QUT where I had to create an abstract model from a large A2 piece of paper with no gluing. I was not allowed to cut off any paper – I had to use the whole A2 piece. It was tricky, but I eventually turned a flat piece of paper into a 3D intriguing object. The image here shows an interior perspective.
Here at QUT I was able to use the design workshop and test out making some of my own "marble" simply by using foam as my base piece and then marbling paint over the top. It looked very realistic and surprised a lot of people when the picked it up – because it wasn't heavy – it was just foam!
Model making is fast, fun, and gets the creative juices flowing!
There are no rules with making models – just grab any materials – and start modelling. You'll surprise yourself with how inventive you'll become and you'll be well on your way into creating a great piece that could one day be the next greatest architectural design!

24 Recap 8.22: Jack Bauer on a Rampage
Until this week, I honestly didn't think that '24' still had the power to surprise me. As I've mentioned in previous recaps, the series has been on a downhill slide in recent years. Even this current season started out on a bad foot, with one of the worst storylines in the show's history. I've been determined to see it through to the bitter end, but hadn't been looking forward to it. Then things started to pick up a bit a couple weeks ago, where the plot took a very dark turn. Even though the last two episodes have certainly been better-than-average, I still remained skeptical. Yet even I have to admit that this week's episode ('Day 8: 1:00PM – 2:00PM') is pretty terrific. (Spoilers after the break.)
Let's get right to it: Jack Bauer has come completely unhinged. The man has suffered many traumas and indignities over the years, from his wife being murdered to his imprisonment in a Chinese labor camp. Somehow, he always persevered, driven by his own sense of justice and a moral obligation to do the right thing. Apparently, Renee Walker's death was the proverbial last straw. With his only remaining chance for some happiness in life ripped away, Jack has just plain lost his shit. This became evident when he cold-bloodedly murdered Dana Walsh two weeks (or hours, in show time) ago, and continued through his gruesome torture and murder of a Russian operative in the last episode, which provided him the revelation that ex-President Logan is tied to the conspiracy. But even that pales to his actions this week.
Jack's seemingly-suicidal direct frontal assault on Logan's motorcade is both shocking and frankly awesome. The scene is truly sold by Logan's absolute terror as soon as he realizes what's happening. Jack Bauer is an unstoppable Angel of Death, who will tear his way through anyone and anything to get his revenge. Although he doesn't ultimately kill Logan (which confused and disappointed me at first), his later slaughter of the other Russian agents is incredibly disturbing. We don't even need to see him do it. The aftermath alone is pretty horrific. And the final reveal of his game plan (the reason why he let Logan live) shows just how far Jack's willing to go. I have no doubt that he'll kill Logan. He'll kill the Russian Premiere. I'm sure he won't hesitate to kill President Taylor or even dear, beloved Chloe if they at all get in his way.
I'll be honest, I'm very surprised and impressed that the show's producers are willing to go this dark in the final act. Jack Bauer isn't a hero anymore. I can't see any conclusion for next week's series finale other than his death. But I'll tell you this, I'm actually excited to find out how '24' ends. That's something I didn't think possible even just a few weeks ago.

Today you too can relive the experience of the production of true Italian ceramics with Anna, an artist who produces every single piece by hand in the perfect style of Montopoli ceramics. The experience will lead you to make a handmade object that you can take home in memory of your day as an artist. Anna will hold the ceramic lesson directly in her workshop in the historic center of Montopoli. For those who wish, it will be possible to have a light lunch in a famous restaurant nearby Anna's laboratory where will be possible to taste a menu based on typical products of Montopoli.
Max 8 people. Minimum age 10 years.
Montopoli in Val d'Arno is a charming and characteristic small medieval village a few kilometers from Orciatico. The production of ceramics has been practiced in Montopoli and its surroundings since the late Middle Ages. The notoriety of the terracottas montopolesi is due to the original experience of Dante Milani, put in place starting from 1928. The bricks and ceramics produced in the territory of Montopoli have always been the result of handicraft production, even if sometimes of really wide scale. The terracottas montopolesi are known in Italy and abroad, especially in the types produced from the late twenties of the twentieth century.

Bathing with your fruits and vegetables may not sound like fun, but it can be very practical.
The water that drains from your shower will irrigate vegetables and tree seedlings.
You can even make a small market garden.
The shower garden is a particularly good system to use during the dry season when water is scarce.
And I should mention another advantage of the shower garden.
You avoid creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
The water is channelled into your fruit and vegetable garden instead of collecting in pools behind the shower where mosquitoes can lay their eggs.
The shower garden has worked well for Kpante Samuel.
Kpante is a young farmer who lives in a village in Togo, a country in Africa.
He grows tree seedlings in a garden beside his shower.
The water from the shower irrigates the trees.
Today, Kpante has two hectares of trees that grew from seedlings in his shower garden.
At least five other farmers in the village also produce tree seedlings using water from their showers.
First you have the shower.
It is usually made out of bricks, hard-packed earth, branches or old sheets of metal.
Farmers who live where there is little rainfall or where the soil is sandy should make sure the floor of their shower is watertight.
Otherwise the water will soak into the ground instead of running into the garden.
A trench carries the water from the shower to the garden.
The trench can be about 20 centimetres across – about the size of your foot from heel to toe, or a bit smaller.
It should flow into the middle of your garden.
From the trench, you can dig another smaller channel that will carry the water to different parts of your garden.
So you see, building a shower garden is easy and economical.
And you don't need to buy plastic nursery bags or watering cans, or spend time watering your garden.
Also, you don't have to carry water a long distance to water your garden.

Q: Word or phrase for "make someone see dreams" Is there a better way to say "make somebody see dreams", e.g. in the sentence

Don't make me see dreams when I know they won't come to be true.

A: A cathexis is the investment of emotional significance in an activity, object, or idea.

A: It sounds like "dream" in this context refers primarily to "hope":

dream — something hoped for: something that somebody hopes, longs, or is ambitious for, usually something difficult to attain or far removed from present circumstances

This leads us to the word "hope" which can easily fit into your example:

Don't make me see hope when I know these dreams won't come true.

An extremely common phrase for this is "false hope":

Don't fill me with false hopes.

A: Consider:

"Don't lull me into (settling in) a fool's paradise."

Fool's paradise: a state of enjoyment based on false beliefs or hopes; a state of illusory happiness.

A: I thought about the sentence and its intimations. In this context, I like the idiom "pipe dream." Depending on your relationship with him/her, here's what I would say:

I'm not gonna' fall for these pipe dreams!

Or (harsher):

I'm not gonna' hold my breath over your petty pipe dreams!

The latter would certainly get the message across.

A: how about expect?
e.g., don't make me expect anything when I know they won't come true

A: "Don't make me see lucid dreams. "
Here lucid is a state when person knows he is dreaming and what he is seeing will not happen.

into the elite Russian society and did everything they could to be accepted. They assimilated and lived very well at first.
But all in vain as a result of World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Holocaust, etc.
Besides our genealogical journey, we will learn where to find the non-vital records stored in the Tsarist and early Soviet
periods, the 1930s in Nazi Germany, and Lodz Nazi Ghetto archives.(The doctor was a brother to a great-great-grandmother of mine.)

UNHCR wants to help the community combat frustration and aid-dependency among young refugees who find few opportunities to use their skills and education.
TINDOUF, Algeria, January 30 (UNHCR) - Five camps the size of small cities emerge from the western Algerian desert, home to Saleh Sidi Mustafa and tens of thousands of other Sahrawi refugees. The first arrived in this vast terrain a decade before 28-year-old Saleh was born, fleeing the conflict that spilled out of Western Sahara.
The vast, empty landscape - "you turn right, you see the sky and an endless horizon," says Saleh, "you turn left, it is the same scene" - mirrors the frustration and limited prospects that too many young Sahrawis feel.
Saleh, one of many talented Sahrawi youths in Tindouf, has mastered Arabic, English, Spanish and German as well as Hassaniya, the Arabic dialect widely spoken in Western Sahara and Mauritania. Saleh took his primary education in the Sahrawi refugee camps before completing his secondary education in Libya and a degree in English literature in Algiers.
"If there is one thing I would like to do, it is to make myself useful to my people and my society," Saleh says. He worked for a year as a teacher in Laayoune camp, receiving US$40 a month. "What can I do with this? I spent it in less than one week. It is far from sufficient to help me and my family. So I went looking for something else."
Like Saleh, other Sahrawis educated abroad rarely find jobs to use their skills. The camps largely subsist on foreign aid and most economic activity is informal, with small markets dotting the camps. Most refugees buy on credit.
"This is part of the Sahrawi culture," explains Mohammed, a 24-year-old working in a market in Awsard camp. "I cannot say 'no' to someone who wants to eat some bread and fruit." Sahrawis like Mohammed struggle, developing businesses that never seem to survive. They emerge, only to vanish as quickly.
The limited opportunities to work leads to accumulated frustration and disillusionment, triggering a sense of helplessness and dependence on aid. According to the director of a vocational and production centre in Dakhla camp, it is becoming harder to motivate youths to even seek employment; they work for two or three weeks, then quit.
"We need to organize workshops focusing on behavioural change," says Yassin*, a supervisor from the youth centre. He sees this as the only way to shift from over-reliance on outside help. "We need to move from a welfare mentality to a culture of work and productivity."
Youth are an estimated 60 per cent of the Sahrawi refugee population (estimates of the population range from 90,000 to 165,000) but live in limbo, with extremely limited chances to apply their education and skills. "There is a rise in petty crimes in the camp and there is a higher rate of absenteeism in classes," Yassin laments. "Young generations are slipping away and we need to address their needs as soon as possible."
Recently a 20-member donor delegation visited the Sahrawi refugee camps, organized by the UNHCR office in Algiers together with WFP and UNICEF. Discussion groups were held with young men and women to provide a first-hand account of the challenges they face. Increased opportunities for self-reliance were emphasized.
"We are calling on the international community, including humanitarian and development actors, to work together on a livelihoods strategy that will strengthen the resilience and self-reliance of Sahrawi refugees, in order to give them back their dignity and some prospects for the future," said Ralf Gruenert, UNHCR Representative in Algeria.
"We need to look at delivering aid while developing community structures. How can we incorporate elements of development into humanitarian assistance operations?" asks Gruenert. "Our aim is to increase the resilience of the communities through creativity to deter dependency on assistance and establish an economy that is self-sustainable."
Self-reliance activities could help reinvigorate the youth of the Sahrawi camps, especially if coupled with Yassin's proposal for initiatives to change behaviour. And people like Saleh have an important role to play as leaders in their community.
"I was able to secure my higher education in order to have better options for my future. But not everybody in the camps has this chance. We represent 10 percent and should be the leading force to lift the rest up," said Saleh, who is about to do a masters degree in Frankfurt. "I will go back better equipped to help my community grow stronger."

Trump's Space Force Isn't Here, But 'Space Command' Is
Matt M. Miller
President Donald Trump officially revived the U.S. Space Command Thursday, a long-defunct division of the Defense Department that represents a major step toward the potential new Space Force military branch.
U.S. Space Command was originally decommissioned in 2002, but is now being revived to meet the evolving threats of America's global adversaries. President Trump first floated the idea of Space Force in 2018, which calls for an entirely new military branch devoted to combat beyond Earth's atmosphere, but the plan requires Congressional approval.
"As the newest combatant command, SpaceCom will defend Americas vital interests in space, the next war-fighting domain," Trump said, flanked in the Rose Garden by Vice President Mike Pence and various military officials. "Our adversaries are weaponizing Earth's orbits with new technology, targeting American satellites that are critical to both battlefield operations and our way of life at home."
WASHINGTON, DC – AUGUST 29: U.S. President Donald Trump (L) applauds as the flag for the new the U.S. Space Command is revealed in the Rose Garden at the White House August 29, 2019 in Washington, DC. Citing potential threats from China and Russia and the nation's reliance on satellites for defense operations, Trump said the U.S. needs to launch a 'space force.' U.S. Air Force Gen. John Raymond will serve as the first head of Space Command, which will have 87 active units handling operations such as missile warning, satellite surveillance, space control and space support.

President Trump appointed Air Force Gen. John Raymond to lead SpaceCom, which was originally founded in 1985, but dissolved following the 9/11 terror attacks, according to Foreign Policy. Gen. Raymond told reporters that Russia and China were investing heavily in space, potentially making the environment a weakness for the U.S. (RELATED: Trump Orders DoD To Start Creating Space Force)
"We are the best in the world at space today, [but] our level of superiority is diminishing," he said. "Space will not be an Achilles' heel."
The revived agency will have a closer relationship with the space agencies of global allies as well as the U.S. intelligence community, according to FP. (RELATED: Pence Explains How Space Force Will Work)
"I think the fact that we're having a national debate on space is really healthy. Really healthy," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein said when the President pushed Space Force. "We're the best in the world at space, and our adversaries know it, and they've been studying us and investing in ways to take away that capability in crisis or conflict. That, to me, is the problem statement, and we as a nation cannot let that happen."

I am feeling pretty darn good about myself today. I have bought two Christmas gifts.

The big issue for me is going to be keeping it as a Christmas gift. I get so excited about the perfect gift that I often can't wait until the actual day and then I give it to the person on a Tuesday. Not this year. I can control myself. Patience…deep breaths.

His behaviors escalate and lead him to his biological mother. As Archer joins Rory on his journey toward self-knowledge, she learns that neither she nor Rory need to be victims of his dual mental health diagnosis of bipolar disorder and Asperger's syndrome. Archer and Rory live in a small town in Maine. Rory has been a difficult child since he was adopted by Archer and her now ex-husband, Wayne. Archer's life had been hijacked by Rory's needs while Wayne chose to leave the relationship and Maine for several years. Archer has felt victimized by Rory's disabilities and blames them for her inability to date, to pursue her career and other interests. Rory acts several years younger than his chronological age. He is charming, sensitive to everyone except his mother, stubborn and literal. When he gets it in his head to meet his biological mother, nothing can stop him. He even gets on the highway from Maine to Massachusetts on a riding lawn mower going five miles per hour. When Archer decides to accompany him on his journey, it becomes her journey as well.
Wicked Good is full of rich characters with whom you will cry, hope, laugh, and cheer. Rory is a character not seen in other novels, every action and thought a contradiction. For example, he is concerned about the safety of the squirrels in his garage yet brutal in his quest toward self-identity and independence.

'Persons of interest' in double-murder also wanted for shooting death of dog
Neighbors react to Rockford shootings
Husband and wife murdered
Posted: Thu 11:11 AM, Aug 08, 2019 |
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) -- A husband and wife were murdered Thursday at the same home where a dog was shot and killed in July, according to Rockford police.
Police say Christina Langston-Hill, 27, and Teon Hill, 28, were shot and killed Thursday morning at a home at 727 Bruce Street.
Rockford police say the shooting does not appear to be at random. Officers are investigating a possible connection between Thursday's double-murder and the shooting death of a dog on July 19.
Police say Kelvin Langston, 28, and Douglas Hollyfield, 26, are wanted on animal cruelty and weapons charges after the dog was fatally shot. They are considered persons of interest in the double-murder.
Rockford Police Chief Dan O'Shea says Kelvin Langston is also the brother of Christina Langston Hill, one of the victims from the double-murder.

Q: Trying to understand TypeScript's message regarding my onClick event I'm learning TypeScript with React and it's quite frustrating and picky, but I'm sticking with it.  At the moment, I'm getting a typescript message for my inline onClick and not sure how to handle it.
type MenuProps = {
  openMenu: Function;
  toggle: string;
  slidein: string;
};
...
const Menu: FunctionComponent<MenuProps> = ({ openMenu, toggle, slidein }) => {
...
  <div className={`menu ${toggle}`} onClick={openMenu}>
...

The message I'm getting is:
Type 'Function' is not assignable to type '(event: MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement, MouseEvent>) => void'.
  Type 'Function' provides no match for the signature '(event: MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement, MouseEvent>): void'

The expected type comes from property 'onClick' which is declared here on type 'DetailedHTMLProps<HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, HTMLDivElement>'

Update
To add to my complexity and brain cramp... these are my remining onClick events that I suppose need different type situations.
<div className={`expand ${slidein}`}>

      <Link to="/" onClick={openMenu}>
        List
      </Link>

      <Link to="/add-user" onClick={openMenu}>
        Add User
      </Link>

Add Climb

A: It's pointing out that your type definition for the openMenu prop is too broad. They might pass in, for example, a function that expects to receive a number as its first argument, which wouldn't match with what the onClick handler will do. So be more specific like this:
import React, { MouseEvent, FunctionComponent } from 'react';

type MenuProps = {
  openMenu: (event: MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => void;
  toggle: string;
  slidein: string;
};

Brad Hodge is known to have been a batsman-par-excellence for the Australian national side and in their domestic circuit. His quick thinking, cunning strategies and ability to handle pressure put him head and shoulders above anyone else in the domestic games, making him one of the most dominant run getters in the league's history.
As he settles into the role of the Kings XI Punjab coach though, he gets into the Punjabi attitude of enjoying your work and celebrating your days in true blue Punjabi style. Kxip.in caught up with their coach while he prepares for his campaign and got him to he shed his inhibitions as let his words do a little dance to the bhangra beat.
So, do you have any fond memories of playing in Punjab?
I actually love Mohali as a cricket ground. I remember hitting a few sixes against the Kings when I was playing for the Rajasthan Royals. I felt that it was a really good place to bat, and also a pretty fun place to live. I really liked the structure of the city, and I love the crowd. I hope locals get behind the team this season as well. If you are a batsman, I think it is one of the best wickets in the country to bat on.
What kind of movies do you like, and have you watched any Bollywood movies?
Yeah, I have. I watched a couple of Shah Rukh Khan movies when I was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, and I was curious to see how big a star he was, so that was pretty cool. I have watched a Preity Zinta one too, but I can't remember the title of it. I also watched 'Shootout at Wadala'. I like any sort of action/thriller movies. I love Rambo, Rocky, the (Arnold) Schwarzenegger movies from the 80s like Terminator.
What brings a smile on your face on a daily basis?
My kids. I really enjoy it when my kids are happy and have fun. I think that is one great thing about Australia – we get time to go and play outdoors and enjoy the recreational side of things.

What would you say are your pet peeves?
I don't like violence in nightclubs. We have a big campaign over here (in Australia) to basically get rid of what is called a 'sucker punch'. I just think that is a nasty part of the culture if you have been out late at night. I like people socialising and enjoying themselves in a nice manner, so I don't like nights being ruined by brawls.
Do you like reading? Which is your favourite book?
I do like reading, and I read a lot when the Indian Premier League is on. I find that when I go to bed at night and thinking about cricket, reading brings a sense of calmness, so I like reading a lot. At the moment, I am reading the current Jack Reacher book by Lee Child. I like the murder mystery and thriller sort of genre.
Which is your favourite song?
'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana.
If you could have one person over for dinner, who would it be?
I would probably ask Brad Pitt for dinner if I could.
Describe yourself in three words
Pretty easy going.
Do you have a catchphrase or something that you say a lot of?
Not really, I don't use any terms other than what I say as a coach to ask people to express themselves, back your own judgement and use common sense.
Which animal would you like to have as a pet?
A Bengal tiger! I do have one dog and one cat though.

Specifies the new state for ALTER to change the partition to.
read-only — The data of the partition can not be changed. Language clients can only read the data. For a list of utility access permitted, see below.
read-write — Language clients can read, write, create, and delete data in the partition (provided that access is not restricted at a higher level, such as user-level security with a can-* permission in ABL).
PARTITIONMANAGE ALTER is used to change the state of a partition between read-write and read-only.
Execute database utilities that perform physical location changes, for example, PARTITIONMANAGE SPLIT, PARTITIONMANAGE MERGE, and TABLEMOVE.
Execute database utilities that only perform read operation of the data, for example, BINARY DUMP, TABANALYS.
Execute database utilities that only change the format of the data, but not the data itself. For example encrypting, decrypting, or changing the code page.
Execute database utilities that only operate on indexes, for example, IDXBUILD, IDXCOMPACT, IDXCHECK, TPIDXBUILD. Operations within IDXFIX that operate on indexes only are also permitted.
Execute rescue operations with DBTOOL.
Restore from a backup (PROREST) and after-imaging roll forward (RFUTIL). A read-only partition can be overwritten by a restore operation. The final state of the partition depends on the information restored from the backup.
PARTITIONMANAGE ALTER can be performed when the database is online or offline.
