Each edition, we provide one Smart WaterMark licensee the opportunity to describe how their product saves water. This month, Tony Marchmont from Backwash Recyclers Australia describes his innovative water saving technology.
With a worldwide shortage of water and so many areas of the globe facing increasingly severe drought conditions, it is alarming to consider the amount of pure, drinkable water that is currently wasted in the maintaining of public and private swimming pools. Research undertaken by Backwash Recyclers Australia back in 2007 found that in Victoria alone there were approximately 130,000 swimming pools, 70% of which were being serviced by existing or newly installed sand filtering systems.
It is common knowledge that maintaining a healthy swimming environment around swimming pools is paramount and with public health in mind, industry recommends that sand filtered swimming pools be backwashed for three minutes once every month. It was disappointing to note that our research indicated that the majority of pool owners did not backwash pool filters nearly as often as recommended because they could not justify the loss of water associated with each backwash.
However, if pool owners did follow recommendations and backwash accordingly, it followed that an average pool which pumps out approximately 400 litres per minute, was losing 1200 litres of pure drinkable water down the drain every month. To be replaced, another 1200 litres of mains water was required to return the levels back to the recommended level, a water usage of approximately 2400 litres per backwash.
Backwash Recycling Australia found that if this innovative and available type of backwash recycling kit was installed to only 10% of sand filtered pools in 2007, approximately 115 million litres of water would have been saved each year….that is in Victoria alone! Of course, now ten years down the track, the number of new pools installed and the associated water wastage has increased substantially.
In this era of environmental, economic and social concern, surely a swimming pool backwash system that can conserve and store for future use, the chemically treated water currently being flushed down the sewerage system with each backwash and can return it instead to the pool already chemically treated, ticks all the boxes.


What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome Diet?
There is no known "diet" specifically related to irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome diet can more be described as the process of eliminating certain foods from your eating regimen which can be considered culprits of bringing on symptoms that are associated with Irritable bowel syndrome itself.
Some of these symptoms can include gas, bloating, and diarrhea. By eliminating culprit foods which can cause the symptoms specific to your irritable bowel syndrome, you can alleviate the unwanted pain and discomfort which is associated with irritable bowel syndrome or at least some of it.
IBS has already happened to almost 15% of the individuals residing in the USA. It normally begins in young adults or teenagers. The number of women suffering from the condition is twice as many as men. The most typical cause of IBS is stress. Stomach pain is a problem for those who have IBS but it doesn't cause cancer or organ damage. If left untreated, depression or hemorrhoids can occur.
According to medical doctors, there might be a connection between a neurological problem and IBS. The intestines get messages from the brain, while they send impulses back. The more stressful a person is, the less powerful is the brain's capacity to send messages to the intestines. This issue causes the intestine muscles to move food through the intestines too quickly or too slowly. That results in constipation and bloating or painful cramps and diarrhea. IBS is related to anxiety, sleep problems, and stress.
Individuals most likely opt for OTC meds that fix diarrhea or constipation but only temporarily. The relief isn't long-lasting. It does not fix the underlining problem. Since IBS is strongly connected to stress and anxiety a physician might prescribe an anti-anxiety drug. These medications might alleviate IBS, but there's a risk of becoming dependent on these drugs. Be sure you know exactly what chemicals are in the drug, so you know what disadvantages you get from taking them.

The Importance of Social Media to Congressional Activities
Social media is becoming increasingly present in the political sphere. Due to the tweet Congress initiative, members of Congress are now encouraged to use Twitter as a means to promote government transparency, communication, and public engagement. The Congressional Research Services found that the use of Twitter may even increase Congress members' ability to measure real-time constituent preferences that could be influential for policy decisions. This means that social media is making it easier for policymakers to listen to their voters.

Well I'm kinda happy that I have a beady eye it's just not so beady as Mr Mantis aka a Praying Mantis. What I've just research is that she lays her eggs then dies and that is probably the brown abdomen. Her body will protect them till they hatch in spring.

Grendel (Review)
Directed by Nick Lyon
SciFi Channel is worse than the monsters in the films it continues to pump out at a hypersonic rate. At least in their films, the monster dies at the end after killing off most of the cast. In reality, SciFi Channel cannot be stopped, and no matter how many of their films are taken down, the network remains strong and continues to send its armies against the good people of the world. Whenever the people are in danger, there will always be heroes who rise to the challenge to fight the monsters. Once again, the Dragon Slayers have mobilized to take on a creature sewing destruction upon the lands. In this case, that monster is Grendel, based on the epic poem Beowulf. Based on may be too kind of a word. Grendel shares some of the same character names as Beowulf, and some of the same plot. The details change, a lot. To the point that one wonders if they read the original poem, or even the Cliff Notes. Heck, had they watched the Star Trek Voyager episode about Beowulf they would have been more accurate. Instead, we have some sort of super-crossbow that fires explosive rockets.
A few brief notes on the literary wonder that is Beowulf. With events taking place in the late 5th through early 6th centuries A.D. Beowulf gives a glimpse into a period rich with battles, heroes and epic lore. One of the few surviving epics in Old English it is often referred to as, "The Oldest English Epic". Beloved by scholars it inspired Tolkien (who was an authority on the text) and many another author. It has, surprisingly seen little attention on film, the Christopher Lambert film of the name was a futuristic SciFi piece with little relation to the epic. 2005's Beowulf & Grendel reworked the source material to tell a moralistic tale with Grendel as a misunderstood primitive. It received mixed reviews (Iain says, "I liked it for the most part"). A motion capture adaptation is to be released in 2007, this appears to be attempting to stick within the vein of epic.
TarsTarkas.NET and FantasyFilmscapes.com are doing another tag-team review. As usual, the opening segment is collaborative, after that, we will be alternating every 15 minutes of film between Tars Tarkas from here and Iain Norman from FantasyFilmscapes.com.

Book Jonathon
Discovering the Ontario homestead where the life of Anne of Green Gables was created
Posted on September 12, 2018 September 12, 2018 by Jonathon Van Maren
This is Part II of my two-part series on literary locations across Canada. Part I can be found here.
L.M. Montgomery's Home in Leaksdale, Ontario
My wife is an obsessive fan of Anne of Green Gables, the melodramatic and mischievous redhead from the Maritimes that has successfully captured the hearts of millions. Several years ago, I was hunting for some place to go with her on a day-trip, and stumbled across a place I didn't know existed: The home of L.M. Montgmery in Leaksdale, where it turns out she wrote most of the Anne books. Like most others, I thought that a trip to Prince Edward Island was necessary in order to visit a place associated with Anne Shirley and her creator, but it was actually a little house in the forested countryside of Leaksdale (just north of Toronto), a brief walk down the road from the Presbyterian church that her husband pastored, that is the birthplace of many of Montgomery's works.
For those interested in Montgomery and the immortal characters she created, I cannot recommend a trip to Leaksdale more highly. You can enter the old church where her husband preached and sit in her pew. Just outside the church is a statue of Montgomery, sitting on a bench with a smile playing about her lips—perhaps she had just thought of the next story she wanted to tell. Inside the house, the friendly tour guide let us sit on the couch where Montgomery did her writing, and even let my wife play her ancient organ. Directly across the muddy road from the Montgomery house was a little green valley, crested by flaming trees garbed in all of autumn's orange and crimson glory. This place, the guide told us, was the inspiration for Montgomery's Rainbow Valley. I went back later to find her description of the place: "The sun was setting over Rainbow Valley. The pond was wearing a wonderful tissue of purple and gold and green and crimson. A faint blue haze rested on the eastern hill, over which a great, pale, round moon was just floating up like a silver bubble." It is all still there.
Montgomery could capture Canada's natural beauty like few other writers could—and as someone who grappled with depression, she could also grasp its healing power. "It was November," she wrote in one of her Anne books, "the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul." To walk the same paths and see just what Montgomery saw, and then to read those lines—that is the way to fall in love with literature. Montgomery's pages fairly breathe with the crisp breezes that caressed her upturned face, passed through her pen, and now refresh generations of readers.
But I believe it is the nostalgia that Montgomery captures that truly explains the ever-green nature of her storytelling. Anne's journey from a little girl enraptured by the high drama of ordinary living through the perils of adolescence and culminating in the arrival of adulthood and, eventually, her own children—Montgomery tells this story in a way that can catch you off-guard, as if someone had reminded you suddenly how much time had passed and how many beautiful moments turned into memories before you had a chance to notice. Like in Anne of the Island, when the grown-up Anne Shirley looks at her bosom friend Diana, who has just become a mother—and is suddenly struck by how much time had slipped away, and how much it had taken with it: "Could this pale woman with the rapture in her eyes be the little black-curled, rosy-cheeked Diana she had played with in vanished schooldays? It gave her a queer, desolate feeling that she herself somehow belonged only in those past years and had no business in the present at all."
Who cannot understand those few lines? Who has not flipped through an old photo album, looked up, and realized suddenly how many people have come and gone and changed and grown and thought with a sharp pang that isn't quite pain but rather feels like it, that although we might not really want to go back in time, we still find ourselves desperately wishing we could crawl inside of one of those old memories and be there for just a moment, and feel all of those same feelings once again? That is nostalgia—the realization that the moment we are living in, right now, will probably be one of the "good old days" in just a moment or two—and few writers can render the contradiction of that sense of sadly happy remembrance as well as Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Winnie-the-Bear Statue in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Earlier this year on a brief stopover in Winnipeg, I headed with a friend to Assiniboine Park, where the Pavilion hosts a permanent Pooh Gallery featuring many of Lieutenant Harry Coleburn's original photographs of "the real Winnie the Bear," Coleburn's diaries, some documents, and even a handwritten letter by Christopher Robin Milne—the real Christopher Robin. A short walk from the Pavilion, a plaque next to a statue of Winnie as a bear cub, dedicated to "the children of the world" by sculptor William Epp in 1992, tells the story:
On August 24, 1914, while en route overseas during World War I, Lieutenant Harry Coleburn, V.S., of the 34 Fort Gary horse regiment of Manitoba, purchased a black Canadian bear cub at White River, Ontario. He named her Winnie, after Winnipeg, his home town. The bear became the pet of the soldiers. While Lieutenant Coleburn served in France, she was left in the care of the London Zoo. In 1919, he gave her to the zoo where she was visited and loved by many, including the author A.A. Milne and his son Christopher.
In 1920, A.A. Milne gave the fictional character Winnie the Pooh, named after Lieutenant Coleburn's bear, to Christopher Robin and his friends for posterity. Winnie died at the London Zoo on May 12, 1934.
Anyone who has read A.A. Milne's books—Winnie the Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six—knows that they are, simply put, a treasure. Very few books manage to be whimsical, truthful, and yet so funny that even the chapter titles can make you laugh out loud. A.A. Milne's fantasy world, located in the forest behind his countryside house (the Hundred Acre Wood) and inhabited by his son Christopher Robin and his stuffed animals, is one so precious to so many that England has actually attempted to get the Milne's original toys back from the New York Public Library where they are on permanent display, claiming that they are a "national treasure." For a country that had been so recently ravaged by the First World War, Milne was the storyteller they needed: He taught them how to laugh again.
Milne also captured that sad, poignant moment when one is just old enough to realize that he is leaving childhood behind, but isn't quite sure that he wants to. His description of Christopher Robin's farewell to Pooh as he tries to explain to the bear that he must go off to school, grow up, and become an adult—that he can no longer enjoy doing their favorite thing ("Nothing")—are some of the most beautiful lines in children's literature:
Then, suddenly again, Christopher Robin, who was still looking at the world, with his chin in his hands, called out "Pooh!"
"Yes?" said Pooh.
"When I'm—when—Pooh!"
"Yes, Christopher Robin?"
"I'm not going to do Nothing any more."
"Never again?"
"Well, not so much. They don't let you."
Pooh waited for him to go on, but he was silent again. "Yes, Christopher Robin?" said Pooh helpfully.
"Pooh, when I'm—you know—when I'm not doing Nothing, will you come up here sometimes?"
"Just me?"
"Yes, Pooh."
"Will you be here too?"
"Yes, Pooh, I will be, really. I promise I will be, Pooh."
"That's good," said Pooh.
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little. "How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
Pooh nodded. "I promise," he said.
Still with his eyes on the world Christopher Robin put out a hand and felt for Pooh's paw. "Pooh," said Christopher Robin earnestly, "if I—if I'm not quite—" he stopped and tried again—"Pooh, whatever happens, you will understand, won't you?"
"Understand what?"
"Oh, nothing." He laughed and jumped to his feet. "Come on!"
"Where?" said Pooh.
"Anywhere," said Christopher Robin.
So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.
It is fitting that the statue of Winnie the Bear stands in the middle of a playground, constantly surrounded by children who, like Christopher Robin, are filling their beautiful sunny days with Nothing. Because after the wonder of childhood—if you are blessed to have such a thing—comes the rest of life, which is far less simple. So it was for Christopher Robin Milne, too, who was brutally bullied throughout his boarding school days because of the childhood his father had immortalized in the wildly famous Winnie the Pooh books. It was something that he only made peace with upon the arrival of his own daughter, a little girl with cerebral palsy named Clare Milne, who would receive the endless love and devotion of her father Christopher Robin–who, after all, understood what childhood was all about.

Normalizing a large library of images like product photos or logos can be a headache. With wildly varying sizes and aspect ratios that all have to display well inside the same sized container, finding a way to automatically resize correctly is crucial. It's especially important not to resize images beyond their original dimensions or stretch them, and that's where imgix's fit=fillmax parameter can help.
Images should fill the container if possible, but should not be resized or scaled larger than their original dimensions.
You want to be able to set a background color (assuming the image has transparency), and add padding around the image.
If the image is smaller than the container and background color is set, the image will remain at its original dimensions and the container will be filled in with the background color to its edges.
If the image is larger than the container, it will be reduced to fit, with the background filled in to the edges (with padding) if specified.
fit=fill resizes the image to the container without cropping or distorting the image, and fills the remaining space with a solid color. It will increase the size fo the image beyond its original dimensions if requested to.
fit=max resizes the image to to the container without cropping or distorting the image, but will not increase the size of the image if it is smaller than the output size.
The fit parameter has to be set to fillmax and the fill parameter set to solid.
The fill-color parameter has to be set to add the background fill color. If you want to use fit=fillmax without a color, set the fill-color to transparent (fill-color=0000).
The w and h parameters should match your container size.
The images now all fit into the 200×200 container, constrained by their longest dimension. Notice that the pants don't quite fill the space—this image is only 180 pixels tall, so fit=fillmax left it at the original size. The other two images have been scaled proportionally to fit the container.
Let's say we don't want the images bumping right up against the edge of the container. In that case, we can add padding around the images to create some space—10 pixels should be enough (pad=10).
The pants image, because its dimensions are already within the padding, disregards that parameter. Because the padding is on the inside of the container, the other two images are resized further to account for the extra 10 pixels of space on each side.
The fillmax fit mode is great for normalizing collections of differently-sized images to a container, as we've done above. One case where this is especially helpful is a set of images that are also in different image formats, such as a collection of logos that have been gathered from many sources. Here's a sample set of logos, one each in PDF, PNG, and JPG formats.
We'll need to do a little tweaking this time, because the JPEG logo has a white, non-transparent background. The bg parameter only applies a background color to transparent areas of the image, so if the image background isn't fully transparent (as with a JPEG), you'll want to match its color. Alternately, you could preprocess your images to make their backgrounds transparent.
Now we have a normalized set of logos for a consistent look and feel. Managing disparate image sets can be a headache, but with fit=fillmax, you have another tool in the box to ensure that every image is sharp and fits your design.
For more details on fit=fillmax, see our API documentation.
Keeping logo sets and other branding assets as vector graphics in PDF (as in the example above) is a great way ensure that you can always serve the size you need with full transparency. Read our Managing Brand Assets from PDFs tutorial for more information about setting up and serving images from PDFs.

Gov. Tom Wolf claims expansive powers as coronavirus crisis deepens

Story by Angela Couloumbis of Spotlight PA and Laura McCrystal and Claudia Vargas of the Philadelphia Inquirer
HARRISBURG — In the space of a week, Gov. Tom Wolf has shut down schools statewide, put four counties in lockdown, and ordered restaurants in some areas to close dine-in facilities.
And if coronavirus cases continue to multiply, the Democratic governor could also limit travel, order evacuations, and even commandeer private property to cope with the public health crisis.
Such are the powers that Pennsylvania's governors have after declaring a disaster emergency, which Wolf did on March 6 as he and his administration scrambled to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Though he and his predecessors have declared emergencies before — often after natural disasters — the governor and his administration are now in uncharted waters, simply because of the sheer scope and unpredictability of trying to manage the march of a contagious disease.
"We are in new territory," Wolf said on Saturday, as he and members of his administration gathered at the state's emergency management center outside Harrisburg for their daily briefing.

When Wolf declared the disaster emergency, he triggered a part of the state's emergency management law that vastly expands a governor's powers. They include everything from ordering mass evacuations to limiting or outright halting liquor and firearm sales.
Also among the new powers: controlling "ingress and egress to and from a disaster area, the movement of persons within the area, and the occupancy of premises therein."
That is the section — coupled with other powers given to his administration from the the state's Disease Prevention and Control Law — that Wolf's advisers say gives the governor the authority to shut down schools and even order businesses to close.
Late Sunday, the governor ordered restaurants in Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties to close their dine-in facilities for 14 days, while allowing carry-out and delivery to continue. Wolf had previously stopped short of mandating that nonessential businesses stop operations, even in the counties surrounding Philadelphia under a shutdown order.
"This is self-enforcement," Wolf said last week when asked about the shutdown order in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties. "I am not sending the State Police or the National Guard out to do this."
But, legal experts say, if he changes his mind, he could make the closures mandatory. He could also use any "private, public, or quasi-public property if necessary," order evacuations, and designate routes for the exodus, according to state law.
Wolf has implemented no-visitor policies at correctional facilities and nursing homes statewide. The governor's office also has closed state government offices in the four counties under the shutdown order, and this weekend, ordered that the state-run liquor stores in those areas shut down operations by Tuesday.
People can travel freely, but Wolf and Health Secretary Rachel Levine are urging residents to refrain from nonessential travel and any large gatherings. Essential medical services and mass transit remain open, as do supermarkets, pharmacies, and gas stations.
Philadelphia, unlike its surrounding counties, is not included on Wolf's shutdown list. And Mayor Jim Kenney has thus far taken a different approach to the crisis.
Philadelphia law gives the mayor broad powers, allowing the city to "forbid congregation of persons" when facing an epidemic, and ordering isolation or quarantine of people who are infected or exposed to the virus. Kenney used that power Thursday when the city announced a ban on all events with 1,000 or more people.
And if Kenney determined that the city is in imminent danger of civil disturbance, disorder, or "other occurrence which will seriously and substantially endanger the health, safety, and property of citizens," he could declare a state of emergency, per the city code. That would give him tremendous power to cut off activity within the city limits, including shutting down traffic in and out of the city and establishing a curfew.
But Kenney administration officials have bristled at some of Wolf's decisions in the wake of the virus' spread. On Friday, they vowed to keep schools open, then changed course an hour later, expressing frustration and anger with Wolf for forcing their hand. And on Saturday, Kenney said Philadelphians should "go out and have dinner and tip your waitstaff." He later walked back that statement in a tweet, suggesting takeout instead.
"We have to figure out a way that we can continue moving forward without panicking to the point where everything shuts down," Kenney told reporters Saturday afternoon. "We may be healthier, but the economy would be in a tank and we can't have that."
Asked about the tension, Wolf on Saturday said "there will be disagreements."
"In the case of Philadelphia, I will continue to ... talk with the mayor and his administration to make sure that we are on the same page when it comes to addressing the needs of this crisis," the governor said.
Left unsaid: that Wolf's disaster declaration could, effectively, trump Philadelphia's rules.
Still, there are limits on the governor's powers, even in an emergency. There could be lawsuits. And the state legislature could at any time rescind the disaster declaration, which is in effect for 90 days — although longtime political observers could not recall a time that has happened.

Yes, indeed, you'll find no disgruntled reaction from this keyboard, for The Seldom Seen Kid is a work of undeniable lyrical beauty, instrumental power and emotional richness.
Three elements central to all great records, and the Bury bunch's fourth record has it in spades.
Weeks ago when we offered 12 alternative choices for the Prize; XFM DJ John Hillcock rightly argued that Elbow deserved being on any list irrespective of exposure and coverage and I chipped in in agreement, for along with Laura Marling and Burial – these were exceptional nominees equally worthy of lifting the prize – that Elbow did, made it even more satisfactory (and somewhat surprising given the Mercury's want for throwing up the unpredictable; M People anyone?) given their unfathomable outsider status which has loomed over their career since day one.
The decision to pick Elbow almost serves as an industry double-bluff. For Burial and Marling fulfil the leftfield zeitgeist – a move sometimes associated with the Mercury, while Elbow merely represent – albeit on the surface – just another band. But Elbow have never been just another band.
Indeed, last night's win only serves to highlight the quite stupefying question as to why Elbow haven't lifted the Prize in earlier years, such is their almost unparalleled consistency in their white-men-with-guitars field.
Perhaps, herein lies the answer. Elbow haven't ever been just grumpy Northerners with guitars. And never have they played the swaggering, gobby upstarts in keeping with other North West hotshots.
Elbow have always been a band where substance far outweighs style. Trend certainly isn't in their varied vocabulary. And as for Cool Lists – ha!
No, the band have never played up to stereotypes, if anything they've subverted the mould, with chief Elbower Guy Garvey consciously accentuating his lyrical prowess with every record; no 'high/sky/why/fly' rhyming duffness in his songbook.
Garvey's lyrics paint a myriad of stories, characters and situations; many of them dark and profoundly furrowed of brow but containing enough wry smiles and kitchen sink laughs to always touch the soul and connect both with the head and heart.
And musically, they've never been afraid to experiment, fervently refusing to pigeonhole themselves – indeed second single Power Blue from 2001's Asleep In The Back featured a bleak sax solo amid gothic ambience more associated with the cracked drones of Talk Talk than the scraping the barrel left overs from the decline of Britpop which smeared the then indie landscape.
Push forward seven years, and this attention to detail – both in language and sound – has culminated in their greatest achievement yet – The Seldom Seen Kid; (A Getintothis LP of the Week back in April) a work which unravels like a classic novel and grows in resonance with each repeat spin.
A record which is a fitting winner of this year's Mercury and one which if you've yet to invest in, deserves your immediate and undivided attention.

Here are some specifications from Granger Aerospace for you:

The cargo hold could carry anything. I just used shipping containers to show scale (using something familiar). The entire cargo hold would be a sort of "pod" that you could fill with whatever you like. Different "pods" could be designed to carry anything. Just trying to come up with a docking system that would be universal to all "pods".
There's a freight elevator for other parts of the ship (non-cargo). Gasbags could be loaded that way if necessary. I was also wondering if you could flood the cargo hold with helium/hydrogen to displace any air in the cargo hold and provide extra lift. Though it would probably kill any live cargo in the cargo hold.
Which is another option... If your cargo needs life support, the cargo hold would have to be designed to provide it. The different designs of cargo holds are endless. I was just trying to figure out how they would all be lifted by the Precariat.
Postby cameron » Sun Apr 08, 2018 9:28 pm
Came up with another style of "cargo" that uses the Precariat as an air launch system for satellites.
There are a total of 52 launch tubes to launch several types of payloads. The Precariat would lift to 100km, then each tube could launch it's own stage 2 rocket to take it's payload to it's final altitude & orbit.
There are 33 small (5' dia. / 72' long) launch tubes for rockets with smaller cube-sat style payloads like Vector-R/H & Falcon 1.
16 medium (17' dia. / 72' long) launch tubes for Falcon 9 style payloads. And 3 large (26' dia. / 448' long) launch tubes for something much larger.
Rockets would be launched from the "cargo hold" with cold-gas thrusters, then ignite their main thrusters once clear of the ship.
The Precariat replaces the conventional stage 1 of a rocket launch system. The rockets that launch from the ship only need enough power to achieve orbital velocity and lift the payload to it's final altitude.
Was going to make an animation to show the process, but it will take forever (please donate!).

In the days since the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance was soundly voted down by a whopping 22-point margin, there has been a lot of talk about how fear and misinformation were the culprit behind the HERO's defeat at the polls.
But past that rather pat explanation, there are a lot of questions about why the HERO campaign failed. After all, Houston is the city that elected Mayor Annise Parker. How did Houston go from that to voting down an ordinance that would have offered protections to 15 different groups of people that are at risk for discrimination because of worries over men being in women's bathrooms?
Of course, the actual reasons that HERO went down with such a resounding thud are a lot more complicated.
For one thing, the main coordinator of the pro-HERO campaign was Houston Unites, a coalition led by the Human Rights Campaign that set up shop in Houston shortly after the Texas Supreme Court ruled that HERO would be on the November ballot back in August. Houston Unites had lots of funding and 34 staffers on the ground in Houston working to promote the ordinance. But even though the coalition came in with a bunch of shiny credentials and money, it never hit back hard on the bathroom thing. In fact, Houston Unites never even ran an ad that would counter the claims that the ordinance would let men use women's restrooms, as Buzzfeed noted.
There's also a question of whether or not a national group parachuting in was the best way to approach this campaign. Houston Unites showed up in August and they left the day after the election. Chris Valdez, a native Houstonian who worked to support HERO says he won't criticize people who dropped everything and gave their time to come and promote HERO. But he does concede an organization with a more local feel might have made a difference.
Meanwhile, the anti-HERO faction was local and the conservative leaders already had strong ties with their target audiences. Valdez says that he noticed early on that while the opposition was organized and locking step, the HERO supporters didn't have the same kind of pull within their own target audiences.
"One of our greatest weaknesses is there's not an existing connecting infrastructure to bring all of these different groups with common interests together. I look at the Pastors Council and the impact they were able to make with relatively little effort on their part and then I look at the groups on the progressive side in Houston and we don't have something that binds us together the same way. I think that's the crucial missing component," Valdez says.
Valdez decided early on that a broad view of HERO, one that would show voters all the ways the ordinance would affect all kinds of people, was the way to go. That was why he helped create the photo project "We Are Hero." "We decided early on that this was really a civil rights issue and that we needed to show people that," he says.
Instead of working all the angles that could have been used to persuade the middle-of-the-road voters and to get pro-HERO voters to the polls to counter the conservative movement, there were a slew of missed opportunities. There was little Spanish-language outreach in a city that is 44 percent Hispanic, as the Huffington Post pointed out. Monica Roberts, an African-American and transgender activist, noted that there was little outreach to the black community, which makes up 24 percent of the city. Plus, nobody on the pro-HERO side seemed to utilize the angle that had the broadest appeal: That Houston would likely take an economic hit and might even face boycotts if the ordinance didn't pass.
And, as The Advocate pointed out, it's a dangerous mistake to try to spin HERO's defeat as a surprise. Political strategists warned that HERO could be defeated ages before it actually came to pass. And things were looking bad going into election day, with voters turning out for early voting in large numbers in conservative conclaves such as Kingwood, Memorial and Clear Lake, increasing the chances that the ordinance would fail.
In the days after the election, there was a lot of scolding from the national media and such – everyone from Seth Myers to The New York Times got their digs in – and lots of hand-wringing over HERO's defeat. "I looked at all the headlines that have come across my various screens in the past few days and think, 'Where were these people 72 hours ago, or two weeks ago?'" Valdez says. "Why do we have to be looking back to finally see what was at stake now when it's too late to do anything about it?"
Banks has been fielding calls from people asking how they can help. "I tell them to go vote and to get ten of their friends to go vote. The candidates who supported HERO are still on the runoff ballot in December. There's still a way to support this in the polls," Banks says.


The English version of Stofftiere! Karin Neuschütz has developed twenty-five patterns - all presented here in their actual size - with detailed directions for sewing cute, individual fabric animals.
Most children long to have a pet, a soft and trusting little creature to play with and to cuddle, to feed and to protect. Unfortunately, not every child is able to have a live pet. The toy animals which we give our children as presents, can become very important in instilling a love of and an interest in the animal world, in fact, they can be instrumental in fostering in the child the desire to nurture and look after its charge. They are also important in developing creative play.

In addition to the new cards that I told you about last week I have also been working on some fun Mothers day and Valentines designs.
These two Mothers day cards are something I actually designed for my Mum last year and the year before. She loved them so much she suggested that I have them printed up to sell, I am so glad she persuaded me, She has the originals on her sewing room wall and they look lovely!
This thread reel design has been floating around in my head for a while, Its so lovely to see it come to life.
And to go with it a thread reel label with a Valentine theme was an obvious next step, I am looking forward to having a go at more like this, what occasions would you like to see expressed on a thread label?
This might be my favourite and I would say not exclusive to valentines as it would work just a well for a loved one's birthday or anniversary.
Last but not least this colourful beauty, again can be used for lots of different occasions, but whatever occasion it is given for hopefully the recipient will love it!


In each sentence of the following sentences there is a mistake. Spot and correct it.
1.What deities the first inhabitants of your country believe in ?
2.To my opinion Robin Hood much resembles Krali Marko from our folk songs.
3.In 1185 the Second Bulgarian Kingdom founded.
4.In 1280 Bulgaria becomes subjcted to Serbs, Greeks and Mongols.
5.What the great Italian master Gotto became the most famous for is his frescos.
6.Anglo-Saxon runes, as most ancient wrote signs, were regarded as sacred and magical.
7.It was more than one and a half centuris before St.Augustine when the conversion of the Irish Celts to Christianity began.
8.Do you think the word "parliament" hat is of French origin meaning a "talking place" justifies its original meaning nowadays?
9.Apart from nobility and clergy,every leading town in England had its representatives in the English Parliament.
10.Why did the Church consider the translation of the Bible into English threat to its power?
11.I guess, it had to be really dangerous for rich people to cross the mountains with Robin Hood and his men around.
12."the Quest of the Holy Grail" is among the best known myths of the ancient times.
13.Arthurian cycle of legends is an example of how pagan virtues and Christian beliefs co-existed in old times.
14.The Friar is an embodiment of all the flaws of the clergy Chaucer sees in his time.
15."Caunterbury Tales" features specific rhythm and the rhyme pattern.
16.Gawain must have been true loyal to King Arthur to volunteer to face the fearsome Robin Hood.
17.Last week I read a most brilliant critique on the later film after the stories about Robin Hood.
18.Hardly had I opened the book then the electricity was cut off.
19.Were I you I would have read the book itself instead of complaining how awful all commentaries on it are.
20.May be they have read all Bulgarian legends but, frankly speaking, I doubt it.
9. I have no idea !!!
19.were you I but don't know why in this way ?
1.What deities did the first inhabitants of your country believe in ?
2.In my opinion Robin Hood much resembles Krali Marko from our folk songs.
5-- NO. Hard to tell. 'Giotto' is spelled wrong. Probably they want 'are'.
19- that part's OK-- I think they want 'complaining about'.
20- ok, but I think legends needs the definite article also.
I have another thought about #19. I think "would have read" should be "would read". Am I wrong?
Yes, that may be it, Paco. I don't know whether 'complaining how' requires 'about', but I thought it probably does in formal composition. On the other hand, it seems to me that the logic of #19 can take either 'would read' or 'would have read'. My conclusion is that it is not a well-written problem.
My conclusion is that it is not a well-written problem.
I googled "complain about how" and "complain how". The former hit pages five times or more than the latter did.
10 - It is a big problem !
12 - I agree with you but which the is wrong The Quest / the best known / myths of the ancient times ?
17 - maybe latter ?
20 - all the Bulgarian legends ?
5-- that is my presumption too.
8-- Hint: there are two finite verbs-- impossible!
10- Hint: is 'threat' a noun or a verb here?
11- As I said, all I can see is wayward commas an overly casual vocabulary. I have no idea either-- would you check the original please?
12- 'the ancient times' is wrong. These ancient times are unspecified.
13- You have the right idea but the wrong article.
17- The problem is definitely in here: 'the later film after'. 'Later' seems to work for me almost as well as 'latest', and I much prefer 'about' to 'after'-- but the latter may be a Briticism.
20- Yes, but I still think 'maybe' is a better choice. If two words are used, it should be written: 'It may be that'.
As I said somewhere else, Max: when you are inputting all these questions, be sure to proofread carefully, including precise punctuation. It is sometimes difficult to guess whether the typing is faulty or the question is faulty, or-- the gods forbid!-- I am faulty!
A Myriad Of Grammar Problems :(?
