The 2016 Chevrolet Suburban may have been recently redesigned, but it still has all the old, familiar features Americans have come to expect from the country's longest-running full-size SUV. Chevrolet knows there are plenty of competitors for its family hauler, especially from the likes of the new Ford Expedition EL and Toyota Sequoia, so the company upped the ante last year, giving the Suburban more features, more luxury, more power and better fuel efficiency.
Regrettably, some of the more antiquated features from the previous model haven't been addressed, namely the inability of the third-row seats to fold flush into the floor and a low tow rating. There's so much more to like about the new Suburban that we're willing to overlook some minor missteps, and we think the public will, too.
For sheer passenger space, it's hard to surpass what the Suburban offers. When equipped with the available front bench seat (a rarity these days) the Suburban can hold up to nine people, and unlike many shorter full-size SUVs, the massive Suburban has plenty of room behind its third-row seat for storing luggage or the family pooch. The newest Suburban is also more luxurious than previous models, which strengthens its appeal to style-conscious consumers, but also elevates its price tag to levels many families may find out of reach.
Despite major updates last year, the Suburban makes a few important changes for 2016. This includes a newly available reconfigurable gauge cluster, a heads-up display and a new lane-keep assist feature. The SUV adds some new colors and loses its standard CD player.
The Suburban's only engine choice is a 5.3-liter V8, good for 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine achieves 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Opt for the 4-wheel-drive option (4WD) and the mileage drops slightly to 15 mpg city/22 mpg hwy.
The 2016 Chevrolet Suburban comes in three trims: LS, LT and LTZ.
The Suburban LS ($50,900 for 2-wheel drive (2WD) and $53,900 for 4WD) includes a 5.3-liter V8 engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, a heavy-duty locking rear differential, a trailer hitch and 7-wire harness, rear park assist, OnStar, a 6-speaker AM/FM stereo with HD and SiriusXM radio, side assist steps, heated outside mirrors, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear-vision camera, a remote starter, Bluetooth hands-free cell phone connectivity, tri-zone automatic climate control, a 110-volt outlet, front bucket seats that can be substituted for a 40/20/40-split bench seat at no extra cost, a 10-way power driver's seat, a power passenger seat with power lumbar and recline, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, a tilt steering wheel, 2-year/24,000-mile free scheduled maintenance, a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The Suburban LT ($55,300 for 2WD and $58,300 for 4WD) adds forward-collision alert, a power rear liftgate, MyLink infotainment with an 8-in color touchscreen and five USB ports, Bose premium audio with nine speakers, leather seating, heated front seats, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, lane-keep assist and power adjustable pedals with memory for the driver's seat and pedal placement.
The Suburban LTZ ($65,500 for 2WD and $68,500 for 4WD) adds magnetic ride control, keyless entry and access with push-button starting, front and rear park assist, power-folding outside mirrors with memory function, 20-in polished aluminum wheels, HID headlights, fog lights, a Bose Centerpoint surround sound 10-speaker audio system, heated and cooled front seats, heated second-row seats, power-release second-row seats, power-folding third-row seats, a power tilt-telescopic and heated steering wheel, rear cross-traffic alert and side blind spot monitoring with lane-change alert.
Option packages for the LS include the Driver Alert package (forward-collision warning, lane-keep assist, a safety-alert seat warning system and power adjustable pedals), the Max Trailer package (a 3.42 rear axle, a rear air leveler and trailer brake control, and on 4WD models, a 2-speed active transfer case), 20-in wheels and a dealer-installed rear-seat entertainment system.
The LT can be equipped with many of the LTZ's standard equipment when ordered with the Luxury package (blind spot monitoring system, keyless entry and push-button starting, a power-folding third-row seat, power-folding outside mirrors, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel and a power tilt-telescopic steering column). The Sun, Entertainment and Destination package adds a power glass moonroof, a navigation system and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system. These items can also be ordered individually. The LTZ offers only a few options, including a power glass moonroof, a navigation system, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, power retractable side steps and adaptive cruise control.
The Suburban carries a full complement of airbags, including front-seat, side-impact and full-length side-curtain airbags. Also standard is the segment's only front-seat center-mounted airbag (for models with bucket seats only), which provides greater protection to the driver and passenger in the event of a side-impact collision. Additional safety equipment includes available lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, a blind spot monitor and a radar-based forward-collision warning system.
In crash testing carried out by the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban earned four stars out of a possible five. The Suburban hasn't yet been tested by the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
You already know the Suburban doesn't perform like a low-slung sport sedan. Just like a good 300-lb NFL linebacker, the Suburban will surprise you with its speed, its athleticism and its sheer will to get the job done. On narrow roads, the Suburban requires a vigilant hand at the wheel, but when the road starts to twist and turn, the Suburban proves easy to keep inside the lines. The steering responds precisely to inputs, and the gas pedal requires only the lightest touch to increase velocity. GM's StabiliTrak stability control does an excellent job of keeping the Suburban's 5,500-lb bulk in check, especially during emergency avoidance maneuvers.
Inside, we found the Suburban's interior remarkably well-insulated from the outside world, and every comfort afforded by our LTZ trim was appreciated without exception. From its marvelous seats to the upscale look and feel emanating from the dash and door panels, the Suburban feels more like a prestige luxury car than a family transport vehicle. The MyLink infotainment system is especially nice with a large, vivid color screen populated by easily understood touchscreen icons. The voice-recognition software could use a bit more schooling.
As for power, the big 5.3-liter V8 has plenty to spare and is easily capable of surpassing the 20 mpg mark when driven at reasonable highway speeds. Those needing to tow should be satisfied with the Suburban's 8,500-lb max limit, although it should be noted that both the Ford Expedition EL and the Nissan Armada have higher tow ratings -- 9,200 and 9,000 pounds, respectively.
2015 Nissan Armada -- The Armada costs significantly less than the Suburban and can tow more weight behind it, but its mileage is nowhere near as good, nor is its cargo space behind the third-row seat.
2016 GMC Yukon XL -- The Suburban's slightly upscale twin, the Yukon XL provides the same dimensions with the option of a larger, more powerful 6.2-liter V8 on the Denali trim.
2016 Ford Expedition EL -- Ford's full-size SUV is every bit the Suburban's equal when it comes to interior space, and its third-row seats fold flush into the floor. The Expedition also has a more powerful twin turbocharged V6 engine and is tow-rated at 9,200 pounds.
Used Cadillac Escalade -- If you like the Suburban's size and might but want more luxury, you may want to consider its upscale Escalade mechanical twin. It offers more equipment, bolder styling and a stronger brand name. Prices are steep, though, so you may want to consider a used model.
The best value for your money is the LT trim. It costs about $5,000 more than the base LS, but it has more features, plus a doorway to a more robust option list. The LTZ's magnetic ride control feature is its only real advantage over the LT, but we think most people will find that the LT's standard suspension works fine.


Next Thursday (June 23), Guns N' Roses will kick off a stadium tour of North America at Ford Field in Detroit. Today, they announced that any one of four acts -- Chris Stapleton, Billy Talent, the Cult and Skrillex -- will serve as the opening acts on seven of the 24 shows.
The band made the announcement via Twitter, embedding a video listing the acts with the dates and cities. Stapleton, one of country music's most critically acclaimed new acts, will appear on July 9 in Nashville, veteran Canadian punk rockers Billy Talent are slated to open on July 16 in Toronto, EDM star Skrillex will perform on Aug. 5 in Houston and the Cult have been given slots on four nights: July 27 in Atlanta, July 29 in Orlando, July 31 in New Orleans and Aug. 3 in Dallas.
As previously reported, Alice in Chains have been pegged to open the first five nights of the Not in This Lifetime... tour, which has brought Slash and Duff McKagan back into the fold for the first time since they left the band in the mid-'90s. Lenny Kravitz will open four shows, two at Gilette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. (July 19-20) and two at MetLife Stadium in E. Rutherford, N.J. (July 23-24).
The band has already played seven shows, including a warm-up night at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 1, a week before they played the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Shortly after they completed those dates, Axl Rose on a 12-city tour fronting AC/DC, where he filled in for Brian Johnson, who is dealing with a serious hearing problem. AC/DC and Rose will return to the U.S. for 10 shows beginning Aug. 27.

Dec 19, 2018 Dec 19, 2018 MIConnected
Manchester up and coming Soul Pop band Space Babe have just released their latest single 'Goodbye To Love'. A track which is significantly pertinent to anyone who has experienced a relationship breakup.
'Goodbye ToLove' boasts a catchy soul ambiance throughout whilst keep a contemporary feel inits entirety. Multitalented London born Zac Lyons who performed multiple instruments on this release has produced a remarkable pop smash hit. Furthermore, his experience and skill has been showcased in a faultless manner. Nicole Battick delivers an exceptional notable vocal performance and her vocals shine elegantly from start to finish.This track is bringing success for the band in which I imagine they did not expect.Especially given the fact that they only met at university a short time ago.
From listening to this track, it is clear to envisage the underlying message which is poised with bold lyrics. A message which portrays love in a different shade of light. They deliver a message that the end of a relationship does not mean the end of love.
Overall, it is difficult to pin point this release to any other release in 2018 and although it does remain relevant in today's global industry it is strikingly unique with Space Babes distinct sound thriving.
The band are getting ready to embark on countless shows across the Manchester area in 2019. We will definitely be keeping a close eye on them and you can too. Follow the band on Facebook and Instagram to get the latest from this young exciting band.

The extent to which an individual engages in a cognitive task is associated with performance in laboratory settings(1) and a variety of domains of functioning, such as athletic activity and artistic expression.(2) The neural circuitry associated with task engagement is in the process of being elucidated by cognitive neuroscience investigations. These newly acquired data provide an opportunity to understand the cognitive, social, and functional disabilities that lie at the core of dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. This article describes the importance of task engagement in human functioning, its impairment in schizophrenia, and the possibility that disengagement during late adolescence may herald future development of schizophrenia.(3,4) Since treatment studies suggest that improvement in this aspect of cognitive functioning has the potential to improve the functioning of patients with schizophrenia in various domains, it is possible that these improvements may be mediated by improved engagement with external processes, including social processes and patient-clinician relationships, leading to improved therapeutic alliance and increased treatment adherence.

Hogjaw USA
Southern Rock USA - us
For over 10 years now, Hogjaw has continued to immerse themselves in music that they completely believe in. Music that defies the boundaries of country, and rock, perhaps more aligning themselves squarely in what they believe to be southern rock, or at least what they figure that genre should sound like in 2018. Since the early beginnings, their music has reflected the personal experiences and flavor of life that all members still enjoy.
Hogjaw is a family. A family that started in the late 1980's with a group of guys in high school who began to play music together, learned their craft together, and became what would inevitably become lifelong friends. Over the years, band projects would come and go, members would change, and new directions would be taken, but the underlying connection of that family was never lost. In 2006, with a newly kindled interest in getting together on the weekends for some jamming, BBQ and cocktails, the members would again come together as one – a band that was ready to finally give it all they had and write the music that they believed was in short supply. Hogjaw was finally realized. The first record "Devil in the Details" was born from those jam sessions, and the material that had been stacked up like cordwood.
Since those early days, Hogjaw would go on to release five studio records. Each of which would find its way into the ears of those who connected with the raw feeling, grit and lyrical journeys of the music. Hogjaw would enjoy the "Grassroots" movement that would propel them forward in the vast world of original music and as a band, has kept the integrity that so many have identified with.
As we find ourselves in 2018, Hogjaw has found it's true unique identity. As a band that has toured the United States and Europe multiple times under the power of its own engine, the road ahead is clear. A "byway" of honest music, performed with skillful integrity, to a fan base that knows what they want to listen to while they drive through this world of music.
The sixth studio record "Way Down Yonder" is the latest of these travels, and finds the band members going further down the road of originality, and will offer even more musical and vocal journeys than ever before. Hogjaw continues to prove they're willingness to keep the southern rock path a well travelled one for generations to come.

AMCON recovers N740bn from debtors in 2017
Mr Ahmed Kuru, the Managing Director, Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) on Friday said the corporation recovered N740 billion from debtors in 2017.
Kuru stated this at a news conference on 'Debt Recovery, Nigeria Economy and the Corporation' in Lagos.
"Up to the financial year of 2017, we have recovered a total of N740 billion. Of course, we have a lot of substantial assets that we are holding in terms of real estate and some other forms of assets.
"But most fundamentally is that quite a lot of traction has been achieved over the period," he said.
According to Kuru, AMCON has recovered an average of about 37 per cent of what it is supposed to recover.
"And in the best climes, the best that asset management companies have done in terms of recovery is about 50 per cent. So, if you gauge what we have done against what is obtainable internationally, you will see we have done well," he said.
Kuru said during the period, AMCON disposed some financial assets, including three banks and was in the process of divesting its interest in Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN).
"This is in addition to quite a number of small businesses that we had intervened in and disposed. Our intervention in the agriculture sector is in the region of about N1.7 trillion.
"The structure of AMCON at conception was that, there was the assumption that those loans that were purchased would be restructured and liquidity provided so that new life would be given to some of those businesses.
"Unfortunately, for a substantial part of businesses that were restructured and injected with funds in the past, their performance level is less than 10 per cent," said Kuru.
According to him, AMCON's loss reduced from N164.94 billion in 2016 to N16.41 billion in 2017.
"As we all know, AMCON was not set up to make profit. We are not a profit-making organisation. Basically, we are a resolution agency.
"The corporation has done very well in terms of what its mandate was, which is to bring financial stability.
"We have started seeing a situation where our excess loss position is gradually reducing," he added
He explained that for AMCON perform well, the economy must be growing.
"If the economy is doing very well, some of those businesses that are defaulting will also be doing well. If the economy is not doing well, then those underlying businesses would also not be doing well.
"We are sitting on substantial real estate assets because due to the economic situation, if we sell them today, we are going to record a lot of losses.
"When the economy picks up, the real estate market would also start booming and then we would be able to sell. If we dispose them now, we might not be able to recover the value," he said.
Kuru said the corporation was working with the judiciary and the legislatures to see the areas of the AMCON Act that could be amended for more efficiency.
"The National Assembly has been supportive. We are trying to have a special tribunal where some specific high courts and Judges with integrity, would put our cases on the fast track.
"We have now decided to change our strategy from restructuring and resolution to recovery. Now, when we confiscate the asset, we look for different buyers, that is, people that would bring fresh capital," said Kuru.
He said the corporation was approaching the 2023 date set to conclude its operations and promised to work hard to dispose the remaining assets before that date.

The lessons from past winter trips still hold true this year. Plan out your route then basically cut it in half if there's over a foot of snow on the ground.
The terrain reminded us of our old stomping grounds in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. Long, endless ascending through thick forest followed by rocky ridgeline cruising. Descend and repeat. Total climbfest.
This year, our February trip found us in the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia. The trails are not blazed. And the wildlife is a little bigger than in most places on the east coast. More on that later.
A collection of photos from a recent trip to hike the Roan Crest, a section of the Appalachian Trail that traverses the expansive massif of the Roan Highlands.
In my search for big fastpacking loops around the valley, I discovered a 3 day, 37-ish mile backpacking loop north of Roanoke. I was immediately curious and intrigued.
We elected that it would be safer to bail out sooner and head down Rt. 261. And so, we ended up hitching a ride back into town with a nice family driving a warm Jeep. Our first DNF.
The intent was to do some reconnaissance of the Roan Highlands to check out routes for winter backpacking. And to spend some time catching up with backpacking buddies.


Twinkle has been updated to version 6.0, adding new features, new colors, and Android support.
This app allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and share it with a friends through social networks. The app includes an number of options for sorting or filtering your views in order to allow you to easily be able to manage and share a large number of different events.
The biggest new feature is the added support for Android phones. Designed to conform with Google's material design guidelines, the fully native android app has been completely rethought for the platform.
BlackBerry 10 users will get two new background colors (Brown and Teal), in addition to fixing a bug that previously prevented changes to the filters to last between app restarts. Also, the details line is now hidden when the event doesn't have any details.
Users of traditional BBOS phones have not been left out either, as that version of Twinkle has been updated to version 4.3 to give access to the two new colors.
Twinkle has been updated to version 5.2 in BlackBerry World for all BlackBerry 10 phones. This update fixes a few bugs and also optimizes the app and gives it a smaller install size.
After looking at the shortcuts for the Stuff I Need app last week, it is worth noting that there are also many shortcuts available for Twinkle.
Twinkle updated with a new color, and improved calendar integration.
Twinkle has been updated in BlackBerry World to version 5.1 for BlackBerry 10 phones and version 4.2 for BBOS phones. These new version now allow you to use pink as a background color for events, and also adds calendar integration and landscape orientation support for BlackBerry 10 phones. You can now export individual events to the device's calendar, and you can also bulk import existing calendar events.
Twinkle is an app that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and share it with a friends through social networks. The app includes an number of options for sorting or filtering your views in order to allow you to easily be able to manage a large number of different events.
Support has been added to allow this app to work in either portrait or landscape orientation on the BlackBerry Z10. Also pink has been added as a new background color option for a events. Also new in this update is to touch and hold an event to get the option to send an event to the native calendar app. The option page, now also links to an 'Import from Calendar' page where you can choose to import all future or past events that you already have stored in the calendar app.
The date count down app Twinkle is now available for BlackBerry 10, with support for both the Z10 and the Q10.
Back in 2010, around this time I was doing the first design work for the Twinkle app. While Twinkle has grown to include many features, it started off pretty simple with the design only taking up a third of a page, as shown below.
Twinkle has been updated to version 4.1 in BlackBerry AppWorld. The biggest new feature in this version, is the ability to filter your view, to only show events that are a given color, or a certain date. You can also now permanently delete synced events, and some elements have had their visual appearance improved.
Twinkle is an app that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and share it with a friends through BBM, Facebook, and Twitter. Additionally Twinkle offers full integration with the native calendar, allowing you to either synchronize events, or to import/export them from one app to another.
A new "Filter Options" listing has been added to the menu to allow you to filter the events that you see. You have the option of filtering events based on the background color assigned to the events. You can also set up filters based on the date of the event, showing either all dates, events in the past or just events in the future.
Version 4.0 of Twinkle has been released in BlackBerry AppWorld. This new version adds synchronization with existing calendars, improved sharing over BBM, and an alternate order for displaying events.
Twinkle is an app that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and share it with a friends through BBM, Facebook, and Twitter. Additionally Twinkle offers full integration with the native calendar, allowing you to either synchronize events, or to import/export them from one to another. You can also import your friend's birthdays from the contacts app.
Version 4.0 of Twinkle offers a new page to allow you to synchronize an existing calendar with Twinkle. This can be done on a per calendar basis, and allows you the option to exclude previous events. Changes are synced across the apps, and will automatically be removed if the calendar is unsynched.
Twinkle has allowed events to be shared over BBM since version 3.0 of the app. However in the newest version of Twinkle you can now share events with your BBM friends even if they don't yet have Twinkle installed on their device. Users of BB7 devices can also post events to Facebook and Twitter.
By default Twinkle orders events by placing events in chronological order. However if you don't like to delete past events (or set them to automatically expire) the top events would have all taken place in the distant past. Version 4.0 offers the option of a "Closest First" sort order where events are sorted based on their proximity to the current date. This way the events on the top of the screen are always the most relevant ones.
Twinkle has been updated to version 3.3 in BlackBerry AppWorld. This new version adds the ability to import Birthdays from contacts, additional ways to share events, random color selection, some stability improvements, and improvements to bulk importing of existing events.
You can now select a friend from your contacts, and if you already have their birthday included in their info, you can select "Add Birthday to Twinkle" from the menu, the contacts birthday will automatically show up in Twinkle.
Users with running OS 7.0 or higher now have additional options for sharing events. In addition to sharing events over BBM as before, you can now also share events over Facebook, Twitter, and E-mail.
While BBM is still the preferred way to share events, those looking to post things more widely will appreciate the ability to post an event as a status update to one of these social networking sites.
Also new in this version of Twinkle is the ability to set the default color to random on the options screen. The result of this is that any new event you create, or import to Twinkle will be given a random color. If you don't like the color that was selected, you can also change the color by editing the event. The colors of events that are already in Twinkle will not be affected.
Version 3.2 added the ability to bulk import events from the calendar. This update refines the options some, by asking if you want to import all events, or just events from the future, or just from the past. As before you will be asked to confirm the number of events that you are adding to Twinkle, so you don't accidentally import far more events then you intended to.
Twinkle is a simple application that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events, and (optionally) share them your friends. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and allows you to send events to and from your BlackBerry's native calendar, or to your friends on BBM. Twinkle gives you the ability to add and edit events, lets you keep track of how soon something is, or how long it has been since an event, and to search for all of these events through BlackBerry's universal search. In recognition of this deep integration with the device, Twinkle was named a Regional Selections Winner in the 2010 BlackBerry Super Apps Challenge.
Twinkle is an app that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events, and share them with your friends. The app is free and contains a small advertisement that can be removed through an in-app purchase.
Because fetching the advertisement requires a request to a server, we can look at ad requests in order to get a look at approximate how often Twinkle is being used. While the app was released about a year and a half ago, the last few months worth of ad requests are shown in the chart below.
Version 3.0 of Twinkle added the ability to share events with your friends over BBM. Based on the above graph can you see when this update was released?
The existence of the BBM API has fundamentally changed the nature of this app. It has gone from a simple date tracker with calendar integration, to a complete social experience. While you can still choose to not make use of the app's social features, it appears that most people are. Version 3.3 of Twinkle (coming soon) will expand these social features ever further with OS7 devices also able to share Twinkle events over Twitter, FaceBook, and Email. The typical usage of this app has completely changed from just five months ago.
Twinkle has been updated to version 3.2 in BlackBerry AppWorld. This new version includes additional ways to import events, some stability improvements, and a way to bulk import existing events.
Twinkle is a simple application that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and allows you to send events to and from your BlackBerry's native calendar, or to your friends on BBM. Twinkle gives you the ability to add and edit events, lets you keep track of how soon something is, or how long it has been since an event, and to search for all of these events through BlackBerry's universal search. In recognition of this deep integration with the device, Twinkle was named a Regional Selections Winner in the 2010 BlackBerry Super Apps Challenge.
Version 3.2 makes it easier to import existing calender events into Twinkle. In addition to having the "Add to Twinkle" menu option when you highlight an event on the calendar, the "Add to Twinkle" menu option is now also available when you have opened the event itself.
Furthermore in the option page of Twinkle there is an option to "Import all from Calendar" (as seen to the right). This option allows you to add every single existing BlackBerry calender event to Twinkle. It is important to note that this is a bulk import feature, and NOT a sync feature. It will import all of your existing calender events even if they have already been added before.
Twinkle has been updated to version 3.1 in BlackBerry AppWorld. This new version improves stability to BlackBerry Messenger, and network connections.
Twinkle, which has recently been featured in BlackBerry AppWorld, is a simple application that allows you to set and keep track of upcoming and past events. Twinkle will tell you how far away an event is, and allows you to send events to and from your BlackBerry's native calendar, or to your friends on BBM. Twinkle gives you the ability to add and edit events, lets you keep track of how soon something is, or how long it has been since an event, and to search for all of these events through BlackBerry's universal search. In recognition of this deep integration with the device, Twinkle was named a Regional Selections Winner in the 2010 BlackBerry Super Apps Challenge.
There is very little in this version that looks different, but significant changes have been made in the program itself to ensure that sending events through BBM is more reliable. New features that were added in the recently released version 3.0 include sharing over BBM, and multi-language support.
RIM is currently testing a new version of BlackBerry AppWorld which makes a few changes to how apps are featured. One of the featured applications in this beta, is our own Twinkle which recently reached version 3.0 itself.
What is even more interesting is the way then new version of AppWorld features a few "categories" of apps as well. As such Twinkle is actually featured twice, because it can also be found under the "BBM Connected" group of apps that take advantage of the BBM SDK (as Twinkle now does).
The biggest change in version 3.0 is the separate games category which contains its own featured apps, and top 25 list.

Q: Editing softlinked files in UNIX Let's say I have file A, and using 'ln -s A B', I have B.
When I open, edit and save B, now B is not symlink anymore. It's just a new copy of A.

*

*Is this expected behavior? I use Mac OS X, and I wonder it's common in UNIX.

*In this case, is there any way to keep B as a (soft link) to A? Or, make B as the hard link would be the only way to solve this issue?

*What's the advantage of using soft link than hard link?

ADDED
The editor that I use is 'TextMate' on Mac.

A: This happens when the editor saves to a temporary file, removes the original, then renames the temporary file. Not all editors follow this behavior, but most do for reliability reasons. And making it a hard link won't help since the link would be erased regardless.

Lindsay and Carolyn Hook are the owners of Ramsay, a property situated in Hobby's Yards, approximately 55km southeast of Orange, New South Wales. Originally part of a larger holding, the property is now a residence and wildlife sanctuary as well as a bush regeneration site. Situated within the Kanangra Boyd to Wyangala Link, Ramsay is also a significant habitat corridor for native wildlife, particularly gliders. Lindsay and Carolyn intend to continue revegetating the remainder of the property and wish to offer land for wildlife relocation and rehabilitation in the future. The property is also the subject of a Catchment Management Authority Agreement, in place for 10 years.
The property covers approximately 12.41 hectares of gently undulating land intersected by a natural water course and featuring two dams excluded from livestock. Over the past 16 years, half of the property has undergone extensive revegetation with local native species. This has resulted in a eucalypt woodland dominated by ribbon gums (Eucalyptus viminalis), argyle apples (Eucalyptus cinerea), black sallies (Eucalyptus stellulata), yellow box (Eucalyptus melliodora), red gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), stringybark (Eucalyptus tenella) and a variety of bottlebrushes (Castillemon spp.) and wattles (Acacia spp.).
A wide range of wildlife is found on the property including bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), short-beaked echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus), eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus), swamp wallabies (Wallabia bicolor) and a range of snakes, frogs, lizards and birds. The recent eucalypt plantings are also starting to attract koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus), and two have been spotted on the property so far.

Congress MLA all set to join BJP
The Congress is likely to face yet another jolt in Telangana with Mungode MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, in all likelihood, leaving the Congress in search of greener pastures in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Sources close to Mr. Rajgopal Reddy said he had already taken a decision and is likely to join the BJP within four or five days. However, his brother and Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy will not leave the Congress. "I will revive the party in Telangana and bring it to power again. There is no question of my leaving," he told The Hindu.
A strong indication of this came from Mr. Rajgopal Reddy himself when he told reporters in Nalgonda on Saturday that the Congress was losing ground in Telangana and its space was likely to be occupied by the BJP that was strengthening itself at a rapid pace. He doesn't see Congress returning to power even in 2024 but BJP emerging only alternative in Telangana politics.

NEWS CREATION SCIENCE UPDATE ALL LIFE SYSTEMS WERE CREATED BY GOD
Pseudo-Pseudogenes Shake Up Evolutionary Paradigm
BY JEFFREY P. TOMKINS, PH.D. * |
Pseudogenes were once thought to be genomic fossils—the broken remnants of genes that mutated long ago. However, research is progressively showing that many pseudogenes are highly functional and critical to life. Now, a newly characterized pseudogene has been shown to produce a functional protein, but only in cells where it is required—leading researchers to coin a new term pseudo-pseudogene.1
Pseudogenes were originally characterized as the remnants of once-functional genes. This was based on the apparent "stop signals" in their sequence that prematurely halted the production of a functional protein. However, this initial assessment was based on an over-simplistic view and a lack of advanced information about the complexity of protein production.
When RNA copies of genes are made, three bases in a row code for a specific amino acid in a protein called a codon. Certain codons provide stop signals during the protein-production process called translation. Now it is known that just because an apparent stop codon, also called a premature termination codon (PTC) exists, that does not mean the stop takes place.2 This phenomenon is called stop codon readthrough and can result in the production of a functional protein.
The phenomenon of stop codon readthrough is quite complex and depends on a variety of factors. These include the specific sequence of the stop codon, the surrounding RNA sequence in which it occurs, and the presence of other stimulating factors during the translational process (e.g., proteins and RNA).2
For the most part, the study of stop codon readthrough has only been well characterized in bacteria and viruses.2 In animals, it is much less understood, but predicted to be quite common. Now, a new fruit fly study showed that it occurs in an olfactory receptor pseudogene once thought to be a broken gene.1 In fact, the pseudogene in question not only produces a functional protein needed for the fine-tuning of odor detection, but is only produced in specific neuronal cells where it is required. Thus, stop codon readthrough also appears to be regulated within cellular context in addition to the other factors mentioned above.
Not only did the researchers identify functional protein-producing pseudogenes in one specific type of fruit fly, but other species as well under a variety of odor receptor repertoires. Because of these startling discoveries, they now believe that this area of research should be expanded. In their paper they state, "It should also prompt the experimental examination of the hundreds of PTC-containing presumed pseudogenes, both within and beyond chemosensory gene families in insects, humans and other organisms."
This study is just yet one more shining example of how looking at the genome as a product of evolution hinders scientific discovery. If scientists were to view the genome for what it is, an unimaginably complex engineered system designed by an Omnipotent Creator, scientific discovery would be considerably more productive because scientists would be looking for intended purpose and function rather than accidents of evolution.

LA VERNE, Calif. — Senior Austin Cole poured in a season-high 35 points, shooting 16-23 from the field, as the Cal Lutheran Kingsmen took down the La Verne Leopards, 71-62, on Wednesday night.
Cole was one-point shy of his career-high. He scored 36 against UC Santa Cruz last year. He had his most efficient night of the season as he shot 69.5-percent from the field.
The win gave CLU its second conference win of the season and kept La Verne winless in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). The Kingsmen are now 2-5 in conference and 4-11 overall.
Cole got off to a tremendous start, scoring seven of the Kingsmen's first nine points, and Cal Lutheran was up 9-2 early. La Verne would cut the lead to one-possession multiple times in the first half, but CLU was there for an answer every time. Cole, junior Palmer Chaplin, senior Kyle Ferreira and freshman Jared Wulbrun all hit clutch shots to push the lead back to multiple-possessions.
With CLU up 29-28 with 2:43 left, freshman Tyler Brabant made a layup and Ferreira nailed a three to push the lead to 34-28. After the Leopards hit two free throws, Chaplin scored on a buzzer-beating layup with one second left in the half. CLU took a 36-30 lead into the break. Cole had 16 points at the half to lead the Kingsmen. Cal Lutheran shot 50-percent from the field in the first and hit five three-pointers.
The second half was more of the same in the first 10 minutes. Every time Cal Lutheran got a little bit of room, La Verne would cut it back to one-possession. The Leopards were able to knot the score at 48 with 10:28 left in the game. Cole turned it on once again and scored 10 of CLU's next 11 points to give the Kingsmen a 59-54 lead with 5:42 left.
Great defense by both teams over the next stretch had the score at 59-55 with 3:00 minutes left. Brabant then added a three-pointer to give CLU its biggest lead of the second half. That three broke the game wide open as the Kingsmen pushed the lead to double-digits. CLU wouldn't let ULV back in the game as the Kingsmen defeated the Leopards 71-62.
The Kingsmen and Leopards were almost even in turnovers as CLU had eight to ULV's nine. The transition game is what stood out for Cal Lutheran. The Kingsmen scored 15 points off turnovers while holding the Leopards to only two.
Two more Kingsmen scored in double-digits as Ferreira and Chaplin had 15 and 11 points, respectively. Brabant was next with seven.
Cal Lutheran moved the ball around well as they tallied 14 assists. Sophomore Jarrett Powers led the Violet and Gold with four. Chaplin and Cole both had three and Wulbrun had two.
Cole was two rebounds shy of a double-double as he led Cal Lutheran with eight. Chaplin and Ferreira were also active on the boards. Chaplin pulled in seven rebounds and Ferreira added six.
The Kingsmen return home for their next SCIAC matchup. The Cal Lutheran men's and women's teams will host Whittier for a double-header on Saturday. The Regals play at 2 p.m. and the men are right after at 4.


Now I offer this... if ONLY "Reputable Breeders" were producing puppies and ensuring that these puppies went only to responsible homes, our animal shelters would be empty.
Very few people actually own a well bred, quality dog from health tested parents. It is unfortunate that many miss out on owning a healthy, long lived animal because they choose to shop online for a puppy.
Why Do You Think You Should Breed Your Dog?
I have many people that contact me asking about breeding their dog. If you are interested in breeding your dog, here is the information that I will offer you.
Why: What specific reason do you have for wanting to breed your dog?
You want a puppy from your dog: If you want to breed your dog because you want a puppy from him/her I'm here to tell you that the puppies he/she produces may be nothing like him/her.
You want to make your money back: There are many many things that can go wrong when breeding. To begin with, you need to spend several hundreds of dollars just to complete health screenings prior to breeding. If your dog fails any of the health screenings... you shouldn't be breeding your dog.
You want your kids to see the miracle of birth: It's not pretty. It's messy. You will be exhausted. Emergencies can happen in an instant and your dog could end up in serious health trouble or even die.
You think your dog is handsome/beautiful: Let's be honest... everyone thinks their dog is the most beautiful canine on the face of the planet. Unfortunately, beauty does not equal correctly functioning or healthy. If you are not interested in proving that your dog is worth breeding, by evaluation at dogs shows, then you should not be breeding your dog.
The only reason you should want to breed your dog is because you feel he/she has something valuable to contribute to the gene pool. Remember the statement at the top of the page about preservation and protection... you should be willing to sacrifice this if something goes wrong.
First off you need to start with a quality dog that has been bred responsibly with health tested parents and several generations of Performance/Conformation Champions. I don't mean four or six generations back, I mean... your dog's sire and dam should be show champions and of quality conformation. This means they have been evaluated and have proven their worth to be bred. You should purchase the best dog you can afford to buy. There are reasons why a specific dog does not finish a championship. For example, a dog could have been injured or had some sort of accident preventing it from showing or performing. In either case, the dog should still be able to pass health testing prior to any breeding. There is no reason why at least one parent shouldn't have a Conformation Championship prior to breeding. Remember also... even though you may have brought home a show-quality puppy, that does not necessarily mean that the dog you have is show quality or even breeding quality.
If you plan on showing and breeding your dog, you absolutely cannot skimp on socialization and training when the dog is a puppy. For the dog to be a confident adult you need to lay the groundwork when they are puppies. This means getting them out of the house to see and experience the world. Attending dog shows when the dog is a young puppy is very important.
There are several breeders who have been breeding for a very long time and are listed as mentors. They are listed on the RRCUS website. Contact one of them and ask them to mentor you. You need someone to guide you in the right direction when it comes to making decisions on whether your dog is of breeding quality or not. A mentor can offer advice on researching pedigrees and they are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to showing and performance. Most breeders would be willing to evaluate your dog and give you advice on whether they feel your dog would be competitive in the conformation ring.
Plan on attending breeding and health seminars. There several good ones out there. Some are put on by vet schools and some by senior breeders either in our breed or others. There is also a health seminar put on my the AKC. Learn as much as you can about breeding, whelping and the care, structure and nutrition of dogs.
Either before or during the time you plan to show your dog is when health testing should begin. Be aware that some of the tests require the dog be at least 24 months in age before they will give a final decision on a particular test. The National breed club does have a list of required testing that must be completed. Testing takes time and money. Some tests are required to be completed annually.
Be prepared to travel to attain your dog's conformation championship. This takes time and money. My last dog that I showed took about six months to complete the championship. I traveled at least two weekends out of every month until we were finished. It was a lot of time on the road, and in hotels. You will need to go to training, both for you and your dog. You both need to learn how the show ring works and what is expected of you and your dog. You should have a well socialized dog who is rock solid in all situations. If you so choose you may hire a professional dog handler to show your dog. Although I do recommend you show your own dog at least a few times for socialization purposes. I would wait until the dog is completely matured to send it to show with a handler.
One of the biggest things to consider when breeding your dog is money. It is not cheap to show your dog. It is not cheap to complete your dog's health testing. It certainly is not cheap to whelp a litter of puppies and care for them until they are eight weeks old. Can you afford to take the time off of work that you need to properly care for a litter of puppies?
Sometimes even the best intentions can be fraught with disappointment. Your dog can end up not being able to pass health testing, failing any number of tests (sometimes even though the dog's parents both passed). Your dog could suffer a catastrophic injury making it unable to breed. Your dog could have trouble attaining it's championship. Your dog could have trouble whelping a litter and could die in the process of whelping. Your dog could die after you whelp the litter leaving you with eight tiny puppies that need around the clock care. Your dog could whelp a healthy litter, and then puppies succumb to a virus at seven weeks of age. You could lose puppies to a multitude of things such as bad/rancid food, illness, suffocation or any other birth abnormalities.
There are so many factors that play into what it means to breed a litter of puppies or breed a dog responsibly. Doing the right thing for the right reasons can make or break a good breeder. Your goal should be to only breed to improve upon the breed either for performance or conformation.


The former Quantico star, Priyanka Chopra, and musician, Nick Jonas, exchanged vows not once but twice in front of family and friends in two beautiful ceremonies in Jodhpur, India. Check out the celebrity power couple's exclusive wedding footage from their gorgeous ceremonies on PeopleTV.
I just think its rude how nick got married to someone else like we didn't make eye contact at his concert in 2006, September 28, at 3pm. But okay.
Wtf !!!!!! Priyanka is 36 years old!!!!!!! She looks like 25!!!!!
Why is no one talking about Joe crying in the arms of Nick!?
Their relationship went so fast I didn't even know they were together.
for those people who think that their relationship went to fast. I do agree but then I remember that my grandparents dated for a month and got married the next month. They're married for over 64 years.
God dam that veil was the size of a football field.
You know your wedding is big when the Queen of the North attends.


For those who are tired of shopping from shopping at Jonker's Walk, you should visit Limau-limau Café.
I had an ice blended mango smoothies. On the menu, it was stated that no sugar or water will be added in their drinks. Ok sounds healthy.
My mango smoothies was thick and yellow. My first impression was that the drink looks like concentrated mango juice.
I immediately took a sip of it and thereafter my eyes opened wide.
I then mumbled, "mahai.. no taste oneeeeeeeeeee ..".
It didn't taste as good as it looks.
Sharon and Cris on the other hand had a better experience. Sharon had a strawberry flavoured ice cream and Cris had a mango flavoured ice cream. It was absolutely yummy I tell you.
Last week, before DJ Anatta's set @ Pure Club, we went to Jonker's Walk for dinner.
At night, Jonker's Walk is filled with stalls selling food, clothes and many other rubbish. We had to brave through a sea of people to get to the other end.
We were greeted by the sight of a crowd surrounding an uncle. The uncle was performing some sort of martial arts and also promoting his herb. Apparently he's some sort of Malaysia Book of Records holder. Record holder for breaking the most coconuts with his bare hands …I'm serious!
He had this Caucasian to hold a coconut which he intends to break with his bare hands.
Uncle: Now you hold the coconut. Like this..
Uncle: Don't throw it to my face, you hold it like that.. ok?
Uncle: (goes back to the white dude) ok don't throw it to my face!
Uncle: Ladies and Gentlemen, with my product you can blablablaa!!
The uncle kept on talking and talking and promoting his product until we got bored and left. The poor Caucasian was left standing there with a coconut with his hand. Bet he hates Malaysia now.
You can sing karaoke in the open here.
You can even perform on stage!
Last week, I was given a task at the Malacca High Court. It was quite a challenge as it was something that usually takes weeks to do but I have to get it done on the day itself. I had to file a draft order, get it marked and then file it together with the fair order!
I waited from 830AM to 5PM. It was the longest wait ever.. .
Despite the long wait, the Court staff of Malacca High Court were superb. They were very polite and efficient unlike a certain Court's staffs which only have 2 vocabs which is "TUNGGU LA" (WAIT LA).
The Registrar was also very nice. I was expecting him to throw a fit but when I requested his help, he immediately despatched his staff to help me. w00t!
Hen, Umeng, Peng, Jin Han, Soon Yean, Soon Loong, Wai Keong, YK and I went to Melaka (another state in Malaysia)for a night's trip. We started our journey late, approximately about 5PM.
It only took us 1 ½ hours to get there. I slept throughout the entire journey to Melaka. It felt like a 10 minutes trip for me. Some bugger took a photo of me sleeping with my mouth open.wtf.. I hate it when people take pictures of me sleeping!!


I'm still at <5 races total.
The Tour of Washington (Missouri) is scheduled for this Sunday.
I'm registered, but the forecast is called for rain.
As a relative newb, should I just grin and bear it and run in the rain for the experience, or stay home and avoid the risk of getting swept up in a wreck?
One of my first races was at the Central Valley Classic last year where we did the RR in a complete downpour. It was actually worse than that because halfway through we started getting hail !
The RR was completely flat with wide open roads which made things a bit easier. What is the course like for your race? If the roads don't involve insanely twisty descents on bad pavement or roads with potholes, etc. then I would still go. Who knows? Maybe you will have a good time and do well. At the very least it will count towards your CAT5-4 upgrade. I'd prepare accordingly if you do go and get one of those clear rain jackets so you don't get soaked.
The course is a "4.8 mile loop through rolling terrain."
If it's rolling terrain I'd go do it. If the conditions are really bad (torrential downpour) you can always separate from the pack. Sometimes rollers can separate the pack anyways.
Nothing wrong with rain. Unless it's predicted to be really, really cold, go for it.
Jump early. Everyone will be really skittish. If its really bad just go out and to an ITT.

L'Ancien Régime est le nom que l'historiographie française donne à la période de l'histoire de France qui correspond au règne de la maison de Bourbon, depuis l'accession au trône d'Henri IV en 1589 jusqu'à la Révolution française en 1789. Cette expression fixée par Alexis de Tocqueville dans son ouvrage L'Ancien Régime et la Révolution (1856) puis adoptée par les historiens du , désigne tout à la fois l'ordre juridique et social qui régit la France jusqu'à l'été 1789 et la monarchie administrative moderne que les rois Bourbon ont élevée contre les anciens pouvoirs féodaux.

La notion d'Ancien fait opposition au nouveau régime social et politique mis en place en 1789 et 1790. Cependant, contrairement à une idée répandue, l'expression n'englobe pas la totalité de l'histoire de la monarchie française. Pour les périodes plus anciennes, on préférera le terme de « régime féodal » ou de « monarchie féodale ».

Cette période couvre aussi en grande partie celle dite « époque moderne » (ou « temps modernes ») que les historiens français font débuter à la fin du Moyen Âge dont la date est généralement placée en 1453 (chute de Constantinople) ou en 1492 (découverte des Amériques par Christophe Colomb).

En Suisse, l'Ancien Régime désigne la période entre la conquête du pays de Vaud par Berne en 1536 et l'invasion française de 1798 et l'avènement de la République helvétique.

Significations usuelles
L'ancien régime est l'expression créée par les révolutionnaires de 1789 pour désigner le régime politique et social qu'ils ont détruits.

Le terme « régime » fait ici allusion au régime politique, c'est-à-dire aux institutions de l'État, au type de gouvernement (dans ce cas, à la monarchie). D'une certaine manière, c'est également de monarchie qu'il s'agira quand, après la Révolution et l'Empire, interviendra la Restauration.

L'expression est inventée par le marquis César Henri de La Luzerne en 1787 pour les États-Unis. Elle fut ensuite utilisée pour la France d'après 1789 et, c'est Alexis de Tocqueville qui contribue à fixer son contenu dans un essai intitulé précisément L'Ancien Régime et la Révolution (1856).

Il y tente une description de la monarchie absolue, qu'il oppose notamment à la société médiévale. La formule « La Révolution française a baptisé ce qu'elle a aboli » est attribuée à Tocqueville. Elle souligne le fait que l'expression porte en elle une vision rétrospective de la période qu'elle nomme. Cette vision structurera durablement la manière d'envisager l'absolutisme français au  et au . Elle sera discutée notamment par l'historien François Furet.

L'historien américain Arno Mayer, pour sa part, insistera sur la « persistance de l'Ancien Régime » dans un essai éponyme. Il estime en effet que, pour l'Europe entière, le  et les premières années du  s'inscrivent dans la continuité de l'Ancien Régime. Il relève les indices de cette continuité à la fois dans les domaines politiques et dans les domaines économiques.

L'historien économiste Ernest Labrousse pourra parler d'« ancien régime économique » pour désigner les structures économiques qui prévalaient en France sous la monarchie absolue.

State backflips on parent prep ban
by Antonia O'Flaherty
Queensland parents will now be allowed to enter school grounds to take their children to class on the first day of school next year as long as they follow social distancing requirements.
In a letter to schools this week Education Department Director-General Tony Cook said as COVID-19 restrictions eased across Queensland this week, parents and carers were welcome on school sites as long as they adhered to social distancing, room capacities, and hygiene practices.
He also said schools should review their plans for welcoming new students and their parents on the first day of school in 2021 to reflect the easing of restrictions, allowing more parents to accompany their children.
The directive comes after The Courier-Mail revealed parents were devastated they would be barred from taking their Preppies to the classroom on the first day of school in 2021.
Queensland parents had slammed the health advice which prevented parents from entering schools amid zero locally acquired coronavirus cases while stadiums have permitted tens of thousands of sports fans.
Mr Cook wrote in the letter that as the end of school fast approached, orientation days and graduation ceremonies could be planned with increased numbers of parents able to attend adhering to 1 person per 2 square metres.
"These are significant and meaningful days, and allowing parents to attend with their children can set the tone for a long and positive engagement with their child's education and the school community," he wrote.
"In addition, preparations for the start of the 2021 school year are under way, with many schools planning how to welcome their new cohort of students and the parents who may wish to escort them onto school grounds.
"Schools should review their plans for the 2021 school year to reflect the easing of restrictions announced by the Premier last week which enables more parents and carers to accompany their children to school if desired."
P & C's Queensland chief executive Scott Wiseman said the changes were great news.
"I'm sure parents will be very, very happy to be more engaged with the education and schooling of their children," he said.
"The caution is that we all need to still abide by Covid safe practices and observe social distancing and use hand sanitiser and take all those sorts of precautions, and lead by example for our children."
He said the changes would allow P & C's "to get back up to speed in supporting schools and their children".

Joshua Beal and Jimmy Brown are running for Montgomery County Commission, District 14.
Two candidates are running for Montgomery County Commission, District 14, which covers an area of north Clarksville and St. Bethlehem around Old Trenton Road and Whitfield Road. The seat is being vacated by Tommy Vallejos as he makes a bid for the Tennessee General Assembly.
Joshua Beal is general manager of Bestway Rent-to-Own. He has an associate degree in business and a Bachelor of Science in accounting, and is pursuing a Master of Science in public administration. He has lived in Clarksville since 1990 and attended Kenwood High School.
Jimmy Brown is a sergeant in the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, where he works in traffic enforcement. He graduated from the School of Police Staff and Command at Northwestern University. He has lived in Montgomery County since 1989 and attended Montgomery Central High School.
Beal, an independent, and Brown, a Republican, responded to Leaf-Chronicle questions on these key issues.
What should the county do to address ongoing school growth needs?
Beal: First, I think we all need to recognize and agree that our student population is rapidly growing. There are several schools above 80 percent capacity and a handful over 100 percent capacity. While we are building expansions at a couple of the more overpopulated schools (like Northeast and Minglewood), I don't believe this will address the bigger issue. I would like to see a full online format offered that would allow students to attend school completely from home, which may alleviate some of the issues with overpopulated schools and reduce costs associated with our rapid growth.
Brown: I believe that we need to make sure that when we build new schools they are built with the idea of room for expansion as needed for growth and ways to expand existing schools. This will save money by not having to add more schools that would cost a lot more than a larger school. I do not think that multi-level schools are a good idea since that will cause more safety concerns. When building new schools, we have to add more support staff that would not have to be hired if we expand current schools. This would save money that could be invested in our teachers.
What should the county's role be in downtown Clarksville revitalization?
Beal: I believe a city's downtown area is the heartbeat of the community and is often what attracts people to our area, whether to visit or move altogether. I believe government should do everything in its power to encourage private business and/or partnerships with the task of downtown revitalization. On a side note, we need to make sure we differentiate between what is "revitalization" and what is a "pet project." I do believe, however, that citizens like to see their tax dollars go towards local amenities for them and their family to enjoy.
Brown: The county does have an interest in the downtown because it is still a part of Montgomery County. We need to encourage business to come to Montgomery County no matter where they want to set up their business. We need to work with the city and not fight over who will get the credit for the work being done.
How should we address the increasing need for funding for law enforcement, EMS and fire protection?
Beal: Even though I am leaning towards no on complete consolidation, I would like to see duplicate departments (like MCSO and CPD, city and county Parks and Recreation, County EMA/EMS and CFR) combined where half the cost would be covered by the city and the other half by the county. This would free up county funds to be applied to other needs, such as our growing school system, paying down debt, or additional available funds for law enforcement and public safety.
Brown: Public safety in one of the most important responsibilities of Montgomery County. We have to make sure that we allocate the funding necessary for public safety. More houses and businesses mean more calls for service that will need to be responded to. We need to make sure we are taking care of the staff that we have, to keep them here and not looking for jobs in other counties that pay more. When we lose employees to other places, it costs taxpayers more to train new people, and during the training time, the staff is overworked picking up the extra workload. The entire county budget will have to be looked at to see where we can save money because we have to avoid raising taxes.
Is there some other key issue you would like to address?
Brown — Roads: We have got to address the needs of new roads or expand our current roadways. The county needs to work with our state representatives to get more of the state money back to Montgomery County to support our infrastructure. The more we have to sit in traffic, the more it costs every person in fuel and time. With my experience in working traffic, I think that I can provide some insight into what and where work needs to be done.
The Montgomery County election is Aug. 2. Early voting begins July 13.

Senior Spotlight: North Kitsap's Zach and Grace Coleman
Jeff Graham
If North Kitsap High senior Zach Coleman doesn't play another competitive soccer game in his career, he'll have a fun final memory to cherish.
Playing goalkeeper for his North Kitsap Soccer Club team in the fall, Coleman found himself standing over a free kick with 15 minutes left and the score tied 0-0. He sent the ball into the upper right-hand corner of the net for turned out to be the game-winning score.
"I ended that game with eight saves and a goal," Coleman said.
This spring would have been a busy season for Zach and his twin sister Grace. As the starting goalkeeper on the Vikings' boys soccer team, Zach hoped to lead North Kitsap to the state tournament for the seventh time in eight years. NK fell short of state last spring, finishing 7-8-1 after falling 3-2 against Foss in the West Central District 2A playoffs
"We were hoping to make a good run," Zach said.
Grace was slated to play tennis on North Kitsap's No. 1 doubles team with Hannah Knott. The Vikings finished second in the Olympic League 2A standings in 2019 with a 13-3 record.
Only playing high school sports in the spring, COVID-19 robbed the Colemans of their final opportunity to compete.
"I thought we'd have some sort of season," Grace said.
Instead, Zach and Grace are helping their family with yardwork and rebuilding a fire pit while taking online classes.
High school graduation in June won't mean the Colemans are separating. Zach and Grace are headed to Boise State University. Zach said the plan wasn't necessarily to attend the same college as his sister, it just happened to work out that way.
"We've always been really close," Grace said. "It'll be nice having someone close to me there."
Zach plans to study business and Grace will pursue a degree in criminal justice.

Trip Through Time
Dundalk is experiencing a shortage of swallows this summer. But why?
Peter Kavanagh
inglenook1@gmail.com
There are remarkably few swallows in the skies over Dundalk this summer and local people have been wondering if this had anything to do with the exceptionally fine weather we have been experiencing for the past six weeks or so.
Speaking, however, to somebody who knows a lot more about our local migratory birds than I do, it appears that the exact opposite is true.
He tells me that the swift and charming little birds have been experiencing great difficulty in reaching our shores this year because of the poor weather earlier in sub-Saharan Africa.
It appears that the they have tended to remain in Southern Africa because they could not get sufficient food to make the long journey north.
There are repots that many birds that did try may have perished on the way!
I was, however, reading a much more disturbing report as to why many swallows and their cousins, the swifts, are not making it to Ireland over the past few summers is that people in Malta and Cyprus have been trapping them over their islands in the Mediterranean.
This report states that these islanders have been doing this for sport, even though both countries are members of the E.U. that is supposed to have strict laws to protect these birds!
I suppose we should not be too critical of the people who do this because, until very recently the people of Dundalk were trapping finches and other song birds to keep in cages as pets!
I recall that one local lady told me that her father used to smear branches with a sticky substance to catch the finches and was proud of his ability to catch and sell them to his neighbours.
Our own family kept cage birds when we were children, mostly budgerigars and at least one canary. These small creatures were well enough feed and watered but I was never happy about keeping any bird in a cage!
This feeling for the birds may have been aroused in me by a story which was taught to me in school called 'Eoghainín na nÉan'.
It was about a sickly child who watched for the coming of the swallows.
He knew when they departed in the autumn that it would be the last time he saw them.
Written in Irish it means 'Eoghan of the Birds' but it was only in later life that I realised it was written by Padraig Pearse, the 1916 Rising leader.
Other flying creatures that I have missed this year were the bats that used to flit around our garden at twilight when the weather was fine.
They are also a supposedly a protected species!
I have not seen any bats so far this summer and wonder where they have gone?
I thought I saw just one swallow last week, my first such sighting, in the first week of July, which is about six weeks later than they might have been expected and, even then, I could have been mistaken.
There are plenty of birds about but not, it seems, the usual species of migratory birds.
I hope that this is not another sign of changing weather patterns?
The annual 'Shops Holiday'
Thursday of next week, July 19, is the date of what used to be known in Dundalk as the 'Shops Holday'.
It used to be the one day of the year, apart from Christmas Day, when all businesses in town closed down and many who worked in them went off on excusions.
It was still being celebrated in Dundalk after I started work in the 1950s and dated back to the nineteenth century when shop assistants were not entitled to any annual holidays.
This state of affairs lasted up until the 'Shops Act' passed just before World War One.
In 1909 there was an attempt to introduce a weekly half-day holiday on each Thursday, in place of the annual General Holiday in July.
But this idea was met with great opposition from local conservsative businesss men.
The idea was, however, eventually agreed and has lasted into the present century.
And, I am reliably told, there is still one premises in town which observes the tradition!


It is not a tourist town , nightlife is fine ( once you get used to everything is working till 1 , and that this is a small town that does not offer a lot of varietys ) . On the other hand, are continually opening new jobs , so it is not difficult to find another job.
Experience with employer Dairy Queen was positive.
Wage per hour: 10 Hours per week: 35-38 Average tip : No tips Making food available for purchase , working at the cash register and driwe through .
This review represents personal opinion of TM who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2014 with agency Work & Travel Group, working at Dairy Queen in Minot, ND.
