Terrain Finished: Concrete Barriers
A while back, I had to order some items from Secret Weapon Bases for my Warhammer 40K/Kill Team stuff and had the usual space in the basket before the shipping jumped up. These Jersey Barriers were sold to me as "plastic", but are PVC resin, rather than unexpanded polystyrene that may be expected from that description. Still, they came together nicely with a little drybrushing and a couple of coats of varnish.
Five barriers isn't a huge amount, but should be enough for my 6'x4' table.
A couple of Primaris Space Marines for scale because they were what I had laying around at the time.
If the grim dark future or post-apocalypse is more your jam, these would take some wear and bullet holes nicely.

Superhero Media: Batman & Robin
Zach Snyder apologists, bite on a belt or something, because Batman & Robin is actually a lot of fun to watch now that I'm an adult and don't care how other people perceive my sexuality. What's that, you think Batman & Robin is pretty "gay"? Well it is, though not in the pejorative term, but it is colourful, camp and very musical, all things that we've been conditioned to think Batman "shouldn't" be, and that's a damn shame. This film pays homage to the classic Adam West programme, complete with puns, team-ups, vehicles and gadgets and really deserves more credit and some positive attention once in a while. Do you have to enjoy it? No, if it's not your bag, no harm done. However, if the "gay" elements put you off, check your damn privilege and try to remember that Uma Therman spends most of the film in states of undress. Yes, parts like the nipples on the costumes and Bat-credit card are silly, but they actually pay off for great jokes in the moment. Also, if I can put my nerd hat on, Batman typically carries cash in his utility belt, why not an untraceable EFTPOS card? He has a robot T-rex after all.
Once the puns start flying and Batman and Robin are fighting an ice hockey team, I'm charmed and much of the film was an enjoyable ride. The change in Bane bugs me, but honestly not as much as in The Dark Knight Rises, at least they kept the Luchidor mask and Venom, and didn't make him the most British Middle Easterner since Prince Faisal in Lawrence of Arabia. I honestly feel Batman & Robin would have been better received if it was a bit shorter, it really does drag on in places, especially with the rivalry between the titular characters, which flares up every few scenes. Robin, now clearly in his twenties, is chafing at being treated as the "Boy Wonder" and wants equal billing with the Dark Knight, who is being overprotective for fear of losing anyone else. It takes the near-death of Alfred for Bruce to realise that he needs partners, not subordinates and he allows Robin and Batgirl to take on more responsibility in the battle with Mister Freeze. There's a scene where Ivy and Bane take on a street gang in neon, day-glo warpaint which I love and would like to reproduce in miniature, if I could find the right paints.
Batman & Robin isn't a particularly good film, but I do believe it is better than people give it credit for. Much as with the classic Adam West programme, this film provides a contrast to the prevailing image of Batman that really needs more attention. The next Batman film being close in tone to Batman & Robin would probably be pretty bad, but one in which Batman has partners, cracks jokes and smiles occasionally would be a welcome sight. I've said it before, but Batman is much better when he has a team around him, at least Robin, but please feel free to throw in Batgirl, Oracle, Nightwing, Batwoman, Spoiler and more. I have to say that I am now quite sick of Batman films and need to take a break. I think I'll load up on some more Marvel and international films for a little while.

Miniatures Finished - 19/05/19
Feels like my heroes got pushed to the back-burner for my Deathwatch, so I'm glad that I'm able to get some up here again. Even if there are two more Deathwatch in this lot.
Balder the Brave: Just a simple head-swap on this one, Balder comes into the 40k universe as a Deathwatch Veteran with shotgun. Converted Games Workshop.
Kirby on Warp Star: My packet of Kirbys had more than a few spares in it, so naturally I had to make a Maximilian 1934 version to go with my Ghost Rider and Yamcha. The base is from an old Warhammer giant and it was in my box of spares. Toy.
Thor (Jane Foster): Just another Heroclix head on a Space Marine, but I've developed a fondness for female Marines and the rage they induce in idiots on the internet. Naturally, Jane gets a hammer and a shield. Converted Games Workshop.
Skrull Infiltrator: As I mentioned way back in my first Superhero Wargames Armies Ideas, making Skrulls is pretty fun and easy, so I've been working on a few to break up other projects. This one is Damien Wayne. Converted Heroclix.
Juggernaut: After seeing Deadpool 2, I decided I needed a bigger version of Cain Marko. Until a version in prison fatigues is available, this one is pretty impressive. Heroclix.
Skrull Infiltrator: It looks as if the skrulls have agents even in the mysterious Foot Clan! Most of my Skrull conversions are based on whatever I have spare in my Heroclix, so there's no real plan, other than to avoid any major characters and avoid too much Marvel stuff. Heroclix.

Superhero Media: End of Evangelion
One of the worst achievements of the internet is amplifying the voice of small and toxic elements of communities, particularly fanbases of niche genre work. Due to the unique and compelling elements of Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE), it quickly developed a huge following, both in Japan and internationally, being one of the major features of early internet "Fandom" websites. As discussed in the NGE review, quite a large proportion of the fanbase was disappointed with the final episodes of the programme focusing on Shinji's internal struggle against his own depression and anxiety, rather than delivering on a final battle against the angels. Part of the reason behind the lower-energy episodes was a lack of budget and a need to recycle footage, but, as interviews with Hideaki Anno reveal, the end result was pretty close to how he had pictured it initially. With the negative reaction from the fans came not only complaints and online ire, but actual death-threats sent to Anno and the team that worked on NGE. With the demand for more NGE and a more satisfying ending, Anno and crew produced End of Evangelion, a massive "fuck off" to the angry fans and reinforcement for the original ending of the progamme.
End of Evangelion is more heavy on the action, with one of the best fight scenes in the series as Asuka takes on the horrific Units 5 through 13, powered to full by her mother's unconditional love. Meanwhile, Shinji is curled into a ball, crying and waiting to die. In fact, nothing good really happens to Shinji for the entire film, he cries and refuses to help as the women that care about him fight and die; that is what Anno thinks about you, entitled fanboys. Whilst Shinji was never the best person, and more than a little selfish, in End of Evangelion he attempts to murder Asuka three times, commits sexual assault and presents as suicidal to get attention. I honestly can't think of a bigger authorial backlash against the fandom until The Last Jedi. I do believe that works belong to the author more so than the audience, so when there is a violent backlash against an author, I'm usually in their corner. That said, is taking shots at any part of the fandom ever really justified? Well, I believe so, but I'm getting less tolerant of arseholes as I get older, and the kind of person that insists that Shinji, the Joker, Travis Bickle and/or Tyler Durden are their hero[es], tend to be the biggest, nastiest arseholes.
End of Evangelion is not a replacement to the finale of NGE, but is a compliment for Shinji's internal struggle as depicted in those episodes, showing the external behavior driven by the internal strife. Probably my favourite element of End of Evangelion is that everyone gets closure, but not what they want. Gendo completes his plan, only to not get his wife back and be killed by Rei. Risuko reconciles with her mother before Gendo kills her. Askua finds out that her mother loved her all along just before she is hacked apart brutally. Shinji no longer has to be alone, but the only other person in his world is the person who hates him the most. There's a They Might Be Giants song called "Don't Let's Start" which has the line "No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful/Everybody dies frustrated inside and that is beautiful", and it is that sentiment which best sums up End of Evangelion for me. Everybody gets a bad ending and there is a beauty to that. Go, live you life and don't put so much emphasis on anime and the pop culture you use to define yourself.

Melee of Champions - Part 4
Been keeping an eye out for figurines in roughly the same scale as the Amiibos and Disney Infinity, picking up these few cheap at various stores.
Artorias (Dark Souls), Conker (Nintento/Rare) and Aquaman.
A friend is a big fan of Dark Souls and Artorias in particular, so I nabbed him and Conker on a BOGOF sale. Got lucky and found this Aquaman FIGZ at a clearance place, sadly he was the only character left. I've been working on Super Mission Force stats for my collection of characters, so hopefully I'll be getting some more of those up sooner rather than later.

Superhero Media: Dredd
Man did Dredd come out of nowhere or what? Even I, who's willing to sit through anything involving superheroes and comics, missed this one at the cinema and had to rent it on DVD when it came out. It seemed everyone missed it, as it didn't make much money, even on its small budget and now we live for scraps of news of Karl Urban maybe coming back to the role for Netflix. It's strange to think that Judge Dredd (1995) actually has more references and a style closer in look to the 2000 AD comics, but is pretty poor overall, but Dredd strips a lot of it down to basics and works really well. Let's be fair, Dredd borrows a lot from Die Hard, The Raid and even Punisher War Zone, and dresses it up in Judge Dredd clothes, rather than try to adapt "The Day the Law Died" or "Mechanismo". Taking the framing of Judge Anderson's first day, Dredd and Anderson are quickly trapped in Peachtrees Block and have to fight their way to the top through the Ma-Ma clan.
This "day-in-the-life" approach to Judge Dredd works because the dry humour and hyper-violence of the comics are retained, but the more grounded look somehow suits the tone well. The language is heavily peppered with 2000 AD references, from Iso Cubes and Resyk to Muties and Med Judges, but the background also provides lots of fun nods to the comics, like a Fatty with bellywheel and the word "drokk" spray painted everywhere. For a while, Dredd was something of a regular watch for me, as it's a tight 90 minutes and can be very satisfying when a good bit of action is needed. However, the more I watch Dredd, the more I notice just how cheap the film is. Much of the foreground costuming and props are excellent, but all of the cars, costumes for extras and misc-en-scene look scavenged from the studio and mates' garages. Little things like a couple of the one-line extras being a bit crap, or odd wigs on actors to hide the fact they die more than once or the same corridor looking like the same corridor no matter how they vary the lighting.
I'm a bit torn on seeing more of the Dredd universe. On one hand, more of Dredd would provide a chance to explore some deeper elements of the setting, like the Cursed Earth, Muties or the East Megs, but it could just as easily be even cheaper and more generic. Dredd seems destined to be something of a cult classic, with fans lamenting that it never went further, and I don't think that's a bad thing to be. Much like with Mystery Men, having more would be nice, in theory, but being a stand-alone film, rather than a franchise, has its own merit. Part of me is just a little too cynical to not picture a potential Netflix series having too many episodes and too tight a budget to really be allowed to shine. For now, Dredd is a treat, flaws and all and I would be up for Urban donning the helmet again, if the circumstances were right. Mega City One and the rest of Judge Dredd's Earth, as well as the other wonderful stories from 2000 AD are ripe for adaptation with the right team and it would be a shame for the trend to end here.

Miniatures Finished: Solo Villains
You know what makes great superhero settings like Marvel 616, DC Animated Universe and Invincible really feel "real"? Having a huge cast of characters. This is something I feel is often missing from film and television series, though the MCU and "Arrowverse" have done pretty well on this front, given the huge amount of time they've invested in world building (seriously, Human Target is in several episodes of Arrow, that's pretty cool). Although most of my own SS4 stuff revolves around my Equalisers team and/or Ulysses' adventures, I do work at some of the fringes of the setting to keep some verisimilitude where I can. For example, members of a defunct team "Counter Culture" can be found in my NewGen and Pendragon Security teams, as well as below, though I'll probably never run Counter Culture in a game; they having appeared in the Mutants and Masterminds game I ran over a decade ago which help spawn the entire setting.
Originally, the idea of having a pool of "solo" Villains was to work with the "Unexpected Ally" mechanic in SS4, and I'd put together a team of solo Heroes as well. The heroes have been delayed because of a lack of appropriate minis and the Villains have become more of, "Boss Monster[s]", I guess would be the best term. Although most of my SS4 characters come in at 85 Build Points, most of the villains here are at least 100. After all of these years, I still can't get SS4 to catch on at NWA, so I'm in the process of planning games in my own setting where I can provide the minis and get people playing. Hopefully you'll be seeing more AARs in the near future.
Villains menace the Earth! (from left to right) Bubblegum (its "Prime" form in the rear), the Ultraversal Umpire, Kiswah and Argon.
Bubblegum (D&D Miniature) and Bubblegum Prime (toy).
Bubblegum: One of the first enemies Alpha Section ever battled, before the Equalisers and birth of modern superhero teams, Bubblegum was an experiment intended to help people that went horribly wrong. An "intelligent" polymer designed for medical use, it was intended that the substance would "seek" injuries on a patient, sealing wounds and applying anesthetic. However, something went horribly wrong and the substance started absorbing and devouring test animals, gaining intelligence and becoming more dangerous as it did so. By the time the authorities were aware of the threat, the substance had killed several people and been dubbed "bubblegum" due to it's sickly-sweet odor. Alpha Section (then Wildcat, the Unknown Soldier, Fury, Sledge, Pearl Diver, Krakatoa and Tempest) were able to capture Bubblegum and place it in a deep freeze. A couple of times since, Bubblegum has escaped and gone on other rampages. When it absorbs enough intellects, Bubblegum reaches what has been dubbed it's "Prime" form, more humanoid and far stronger, but less destructive. It has been theorised that, should Bubblegum be able to absorb enough intellect, it may achieve true sentience.
The Ultraversal Umpire plans its next round of games (converted Reaper)
The Ultraversal Umpire: An enigmatic being from outside the known Omniverse, The Ultraversal Umpire is best known for using its seemingly-limitless power to draw super-powered beings into gladiatorial combat. A recurring foe for both Ulysses and The Champions of the Omniverse, The Ultraversal Umpire is so difficult a foe not only for its ability to open portals and cancel super-powers, but because of the seemingly endless supply of brainwashed superheroes at its beck and call. Of course, once these heroes realise that they've been duped, they tend to team up and defeat The Ultraversal Umpire, but these continual defeats never seem to put a stop to its machinations. Is this unknowable creature part of a larger scheme, or just a bored demigod looking for kicks? Only time will tell.
Kiswah (Eureka) and Argon (Heroscape).
Kiswah: His original name being long lost to time, the man known as Kiswah has been fighting for the Nation of Islam since the days of the PLO. Kiswah is in possession of a strange and haunting superpower; he cannot die. As a young man, full of the fire of jihad, Kiswah was lured by tales of glory and paradise, willingly giving everything for his cause as he detonated a bomb vest and awaited his reward; when he woke up days later, unharmed, his life began to change. Kiswah still passionately believes in removing Western influence from the Middle East, and that his people must be free to decide their own destiny, but as a veteran of the fight, he now questions the methods of his compatriots. Kiswah has seen too many young people go to their deaths for the cause, and has chosen to do all he can to prevent further loss of life. Under Kiswah's leadership, only he will wear a bomb vest, as the pain is something he can actually bear and return from.
Argon: Aaron Weber was doing time in Juvenile Detention for drug-related crimes, despite being 19 years of age, as his father's money and influence had kept him out of a State Prison. Weber ran a small gang of nere'do'wells, his age and natural charisma suiting him as a leader, but he wanted out so volunteered for an experiment that may kill him, but would reduce his sentence. Like all members of the original Counter Culture, Weber was granted amazing powers, in his case, the ability to control and project colourful plasma, which Weber felt clashed with the Goth aesthetic he modeled at the time. During a conflict with the Equalisers, Weber was seemingly killed, only to return moments later in a form of pure plasma, which was eventually captured by Wildcat and the Scarlet Blade. Weber was imprisoned at the Boomerang facility in Melbourne until it came under attack by Pendragon Security and he was able to escape. Since then, Argon has been a recurrent foe for heroes the world over, with his immense power making him a formidable opponent, though he often pursues petty goals with his strength.

As one of his main practice areas, immigration law was a natural choice for Zsolt, who experienced the immigration process himself when immigrating into Canada.
He was born in Sfantu Gheorghe (aka Sepsiszentgyorgy), Romania and has a Civil Law degree from Simion Barnutiu Law School in Romania and, an LL.M – "Master of U.S. Law" from the Florida Coastal School of Law.
Shortly after finishing the LL.M degree, Zsolt studied at University of Albert-Faculty of Law, then obtained a Certificate of Qualification from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, completed his articling at a downtown law firm in Edmonton, and has been a practicing lawyer in Alberta since 2015. He is a member of the Law Society of Alberta and the Canadian Bar Association.
When asked what had been instrumental in attracting him to practice law, he said that, as a teenager, he had been greatly influenced by a judge and a lawyer, both family friends. Having gotten a taste of it, he then later decided to pursue it as a career. He obtained a civil law degree in 2000 and, a year later, passed the state licensing exam in Romania. He had a practice in Romania focusing on Business and Corporate/Commercial law, and to some extent on Administrative law.

35MM PRINT! A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood, directed by Akira Kurosawa, sets Shakespeares definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable, animalistic performance, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. Throne of Blood fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Q: Get current date in cassandra cql select In SQL, I am able to do:
select getdate(), getdate() - 7

Which returns the current date as well as current date - 7 days. I want to achieve the same in Cassandra CQL. I tried:
select dateof(now())

But that does not work. It works only on insert and not in select. How can I get the same? Any help would be appreciated.

A: select dateof(now())

On its own, you are correct, that does not work.  But if you have a table that you know only has one row (like system.local):
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT dateof(now()) FROM system.local ;

 dateof(now())
--------------------------
 2015-03-26 03:18:39-0500

(1 rows)

Unfortunately, Cassandra CQL does not (yet? CASSANDRA-5505) include support for arithmetic operations, let alone date arithmetic.  So subtracting 7 days from that value is something that you would have to do in your application level.
Edit 20200422
The newer syntax uses the toTimestamp() function instead:
aploetz@cqlsh> SELECT toTimestamp(now()) FROM system.local;

 system.totimestamp(system.now())
----------------------------------
  2020-04-22 13:22:04.752000+0000

(1 rows)

Both syntaxes work as of 20200422.

A: Another possible solution that will work on any table you have read access to regardless of whether it has one row, many rows, or even none at all:
SELECT toTimestamp(now()) AS now, count(*) FROM any_table WHERE partition_key=xyz;

The difference here is that the aggregate function COUNT(*) guarantees that the result set will always contain exactly one row.
Obviously, replace any_table with a table that you have read access to, and the WHERE clause with something that fully-specifies the table partition key. Again, there don't need to be any actual rows matching the specified value(s) for the partition key so any value(s) of the right type can be hard-coded.
Update
If the table has many rows, then count(*) will take a long time to complete and may even time out, so use this method with caution.
Aside
dateof() was deprecated in Cassandra 2.2.0-rc2. For later versions you should replace its use with toTimestamp().

Q: How do I compile to Flash 11 (even version) with Adobe Flash CS6? I need to compile to an even version of Flash due to server issues (I'm not a back-end developer, nor do I have access to the server in any way). I can publish to 9, 10, or 11, but have a very small size limit and would like to use the improved compression available starting with 11. I'm also using the PerspectiveProjection to fix some 3d rotation issues that appear otherwise.
I can only use Flash CS6 (or the command-line) and not Flex Builder or any other program. CS6 has a drop-down menu with the only (AS3-compatible) options as 9, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4.
Is there any way I can compile to Flash Player 11.0?

PITTSBURGH -- Forward Anze Kopitar (upper body) participated in the Los Angeles Kings' morning skate at Conosl Energy Center, but most likely will not play Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins (7 p.m. ET, NHLN-US, SN360,TVA SPORTS2).
Kopitar, who missed Los Angeles' 3-2 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, skated in Pittsburgh the past two days. He's had a slow start this season with two goals and three points in eight games.
He did not participate in line rushes.
The Kings recalled forward David Van Der Gulik from Manchester of the American Hockey League on Thursday. Van Der Gulik is expected to slot in as the fourth-line left wing alongside center Andy Andreoff and right wing Jordan Nolan.
Van Der Gulik has two goals and nine points in 42 NHL games with the Calgary Flames and Colorado Avalanche. He averaged 5:41 of ice time in two games with Colorado last season.
"My last game last year in Colorado I got hurt, but I left there thinking when I got sent back down that you never know if I'm going to get a chance again," Van Der Gulik said. "So I'm happy to be back and I'm just trying to make the most of my opportunity."
The Penguins lineup will remain untouched, with defenseman Paul Martin staying in the lineup after missing practice Wednesday with a stiff back. Pittsburgh coach Mike Johnston said Martin's absence was because of a maintenance day and that the defenseman "feels great" entering the game against Los Angeles.
After their 8-3 win against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, the Penguins are expecting a more defensive-oriented game against the defending Stanley Cup champions. They could face Martin Jones, who was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, rather than Jonathan Quick.
Jones, who has a 0.75 goals-against average and .970 save percentage in two games this season, allowed two goals on 37 shots in a 3-2 win in Pittsburgh last season.
"You know that they're experienced and they believe in the way they play," Penguins forward Sidney Crosby said. "So you have to be ready to do the same thing on your side. I think you get up for these ones, knowing who you're playing against, and we want to make sure we're at our best."
Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said he views the game as a personal measuring stick.
"I'm going to be matched up against Sid as much as I can [Thursday]," Doughty said. "And I've had the opportunity to play with him a few times. I obviously know how good of a player he is. He's the best player in the League and he's going to be my biggest challenge of the year."
Status report: Pittsburgh recalled Megna on Thursday to provide depth with Bennett working to return from a lower-body injury. ... Bortuzzo participated in Pittsburgh's morning skate and could play as early as Saturday. … Gaborik, who hasn't played since Oct. 12, skated during the Kings' morning skate after it was expected he wouldn't resume skating until early next week.
Who's hot: Hornqvist is second on the Penguins in points (11) and goals (five). He has multiple points in four of his first eight games in Pittsburgh and at least one in six. ... Crosby leads Pittsburgh with seven goals and 14 points, and is one point behind Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin for the League lead. … Toffoli leads the Kings with 13 points and is tied with Carter for the Kings lead in goals with five. He has scored one goal in each of his past two games.

Q: Vimeo Java API (Clickntap) I'm using the Clickntap Java API for Vimeo and it's saying error http 403 when I try the example class which they provided. Do I need something more than the token for uploading? Do you know any other Java API for vimeo?

A: If you have access token generated on vimeo and you using that access token, that should be enough.Once you include clickntap library into your project, you can do this.
public class UploadFile {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String accesstoken ="abc";
        Vimeo vimeo = new Vimeo(accesstoken);
        boolean upgradeTo1080 = true;
        try {
            String videoEndPoint = vimeo.addVideo(new File(pathtoyourvideo), upgradeTo1080);
            System.out.println(videoEndPoint);
        } catch (IOException | VimeoException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

in vimeo.addVideo() method library set to perform authentication using access token and upload video. You can customize options as well. This is very trivial library compared to vimeo own library, which is not very easy use by average programmer.

A: I can't really speak to the Clickntap library since I've never used it. But the official Vimeo Java API github can be found here (vimeo-networking-java). The README is pretty extensive and should cover obtaining an auth token. It doesn't have upload APIs as of right now, but we'll be releasing a library for that in the future. In the mean time, you can use vimeo-networking-java in unison with the developer docs for upload.
But basically, you'll just need the token as well as specifying that you require the upload scope. You need to request the access to this scope from your Vimeo developer account.
Refer to the answer on this SO post on how to easily set up an access token.

DUBLIN HIGHLIGHTS
The wide boulevard of O'Connell Street, passing the General Post Office, scene of the 1916 Easter Rising and birthplace of the Irish Nation.
Skellig Michael is named by Lonely Planet as one of the top regions in travel for 2017. One of only two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, this inhospitable rock rising out of the Atlantic covers an area of less than 50 acres. Monks settled on the rock during the 6th century; perched on a ledge and reached by an amazing 1,000-year-old stairway is an isolated early Christian monastery.
THE ENGLISH MARKET, CORK
has been serving the people of Cork for more than a century. A myriad of artisan and speciality producers have helped develop Cork County into Ireland's flagship food region. It has a gourmet reputation among the finest in Europe.
Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland. The 19th century was a golden age for the city; it experienced the full force of the Industrial Revolution and in 1888 was granted city status by Queen Victoria. Compact and intimate in size, it boasts a rich legacy of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
Galway is the official European Region of Gastronomy 2018. The region stretches from green fields and rich farmlands to the unique karst landscape of the Burren and into Galway city, the trout fishing capital of Europe, and along the wild, rugged Atlantic coast. Galway has one of the highest densities of restaurants in Ireland and includes two of the country 's Michelin Star restaurants: Aniar and Loam. Galway is a city with a proud seafaring tradition and Galway Bay is one of the most celebrated oyster fisheries, where the native Irish oyster is widely prized as a delicacy in the later months of the year.
Located by the three lakes and mountains of the Killarney National Park, Killarney is well known for its excellent shops, restaurants and cosmopolitan appeal. During the summer months, the lively on-street musical entertainment complements the meandering of tourists and locals alike. On bright evenings, one can browse in a bookstore, admire art or savour the delights of homemade ice cream or a finely prepared lobster.
The Burren is truly is a special place full of wonder, beauty and discovery. It is a karst landscape made up of an extraordinarily rich geological, botanical and archaeological heritage with parts of the region classed as a National Park. This limestone plateau resembles a lunar landscape; in the spring and summer months, great colour abounds against the stark landscape. Ruined forts and castles and numerous prehistoric sites dot the landscape; the region has been aptly described as 'one vast memorial to bygone cultures'.
Is possibly Ireland's most famous scenic drive. It encounters some of the country's finest landscapes, weaving around a breath-taking mosaic of rugged, storm-bashed coast, steep mountains, medievalruins, slate-coloured glacial lakes and welcoming towns and villages. As you might expect, there are many wonderful photo opportunities.
Selected as one of the Signature Experiences of the Wild Atlantic Way, the Cliffs of Moher are a breath-taking Discovery Point. They are the crowning glory of the Co. Clare coastline. Like a viewing platform for prehistoric giants who wish to peer over the edge of Europe, they provide an unrivalled view across the vast boiling wildness of the Atlantic Ocean
One of the prettiest small towns in Ireland, with its crooked streets, slate hung houses and bow-fronted shops.It has a long and chequered history. The Battle of Kinsale in 1601 was the ultimate battle in England's conquest of Gaelic Ireland. The Irish forces and their Spanish allies were defeated which signified the end of the old Gaelic order, Irish resistance and marked a turning point in the history books. For over 300 years it was a garrison town and port of consequence, which left a legacy of Georgian and Victorian architecture.
Dublin is steeped in history, with Viking, medieval and Georgian influences all having left their marks. Since the time of the Vikings, Dublin has been the principal gateway to the Emerald Isle. The medieval city, with its intimate knots of small alleys and broad streets south of the river, was developed in Norman times around St Patrick's Cathedral and Dublin Castle, and later came to symbolise British rule in Ireland. The 18th century was the "Age of Elegance", a time of relative prosperity when the Irish gentry set about remodelling the city into one of elegance, replete with graceful terraces, wrought-iron balconies and fanlight doorways. The city became Ireland's capital with the establishment of the Republic of Ireland in 1937, and today is regarded as one of the liveliest and most atmospheric in Europe.
From private stately castles, historic manor houses and country club resorts to luxury city hotels and Georgian townhouses, Dream Escape will find you the perfect place to call "home' during your stay.

Two companies, one cultural fit: about our journey with INEOS
It's always a bit exciting when two companies begin a journey together. Both have the intention to make the best of it, but often, it's only during the 'doing' part that it turns out there's good match. This is the story of how the partnership between INEOS and delaware started. And how it continues to this day.
INEOS is a global manufacturer of petrochemicals, speciality chemicals and oil products. Through a series of acquisitions from blue chip companies, the company has quickly grown to become a leading chemical company with sales of around $40 billion. INEOS employs 17,000 people and has 67 manufacturing sites in 16 different countries.
Moving the data center
In 2009, INEOS faced a series of challenges:
- The company needed to gain efficiency, after it had experienced an aggressive growth spurt which resulted in a quite complex business structure.
- In a globalized reality, business continuity needed to be improved.
- There was a need to transition from a managed application support model to a co-sourced one.
One of the first projects that came out of this, was the move from the US-based centralized data center to a European decentralized environment. To aid with that, INEOS sought a European partner who could dramatically improve security, availability, risk and disaster recovery, and who would fit nicely with INEOS' own culture.
That's when delaware came on board. By leveraging a standardized cloud platform, the time needed to provision resources dropped from weeks to days to hours. As such, scalability, flexibility, agility and cost efficiency were greatly improved. On top of that, the project was delivered on time and within budget without business disruption.
Sticking around
In the meantime, we work for many different business units within INEOS, that, within the framework agreement, can purchase different types of services according their own needs. Still, we strongly experience the same kind of culture throughout the complete organization. A culture that fits wonder well with our own. That's why our consultants regularly state that they enjoy working for INEOS and don't mind going the extra mile. It's a real partnership. A happy marriage where both partners still talk lovingly about one another.
Our partnership has evolved: delaware is increasingly being considered as an enabler for business and organizational change within INEOS . And we're happy to take up the role of the Sherpa: the company that guides the customer to the peak.
Since the move of the hosting to Europe, delaware has realized projects like the system regionalization and the restructuring of assets, the merger of 2 SAP systems and the SAP HANA roadmap amongst other.
Besides that, delaware also manages fthe SAP Infrastructure Managed Services and SAP Application Support for INEOS. For a company that trades with gas and other resources in real-time, always having access to the latest data and the necessary tools is vital.

A lifesaver for destitute children
New Delhi: Just four years ago, Aslam was found lying in a semi-conscious state on a platform at Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station due to a drug overdose. Today, the 15-year-old dreams of becoming a "choreographer" and has already started attending dance classes to achieve this.
The route to this dramatic transformation in his life wasn't easy as Aslam had fallen into bad company. He initially began stealing food from pantry cars and gradually started taking drugs to forget the "tensions" of his life. These exacerbated over time and made him a drug. That is how Khoj a group of the Delhi Police and NGO CHETNA found him in that state.
"I don't want to recall those days... I had fallen into bad company. I would say I was lucky that Khoj found me and invested time and efforts in my well-being," Aslam told IANS.
"They put me into a rehabilitation centre and started teaching me dance to divert my mind from drugs. Initially I resisted, but then I started liking these classes. Now I want to be a famous choreographer and go to Mumbai," he said, adding that now, the thought of drugs don't even cross his mind.
It just isn't dance that Aslam has learnt - he is now studying in class 10 and is eager to complete his studies.
This is not just the story of Aslam; there are around 40 children like him who have been rehabilitated and educated by Khoj, an operation which was launched in June 2012.
According to Delhi Police Inspector Pradeep Kumar, the education facility is available only at Hazrat Nizamuddin.
"Within this police station we organise dance, music and teaching classes, including computer education. We plan to extend this facility to the Old Delhi Railway Station with the help of CHETNA who provide the basic infrastructure, equipment and teachers," Kumar told IANS.
Khoj also re-unites with their parents lost children on railway platforms.
Operation Khoj has been started at five railway stations of the national capital - New Delhi, Old Delhi, Sarai Rohilla, Hazrat Nizamuddin and Anand Vihar.
As per Delhi Police data, 2,961 children have been rescued and rehabilitated between June 2012 and March 2015.
Till March 31, 2015, the police have rescued 63 children found at these railway stations against 755 in 2014. A total of 1,113 children were rescued in 2013 while the number was 1,030 in 2012.
According to the data, the rescued children were in the one-six age group.
Rehabilitating children from railway stations is what CHETNA has been doing since 2006 under its "Dreams on Wheels" programme. These children are then reunited with their families.
However, under Operation Khoj they also educate these children to help them sustain their livelihood.
"We don't want these children - some of them are homeless - to pick up any bad habits. This is why we focus on education so that other job options are open for them," Sanjay Gupta, founder and director of CHETNA, told IANS.
"This is a unique programme in which we not only educate them but provide to them a chance to make their lives and come out of bad habits and the neglected strata of society," he added.
"We hope to reach out to many such children to make this world a better place for them through education," he said.

Frozen Two: a Movie Review
Kadie Gorman, Senior Community Editor
Six years ago the original Frozen came out, and now Frozen II. This film contains lots of action and peril as a threat has come to the kingdom of Arendelle, and it's up to Elsa, Anna, and the others to find the source of what's preying on their homeland.
During an interview with Kelsey Forsyth, a viewer of the film she said, " I loved it not only does it give a peek into sisterhood it had gorgeous animation, and wonderful new characters," Forsyth expressed.
Starting out with a flashback to the King & Queen of Arendelle telling the young Elsa and Anna a bedtime story about a magical enchanted forest and the earliest people of Northuldrans that live there, along with the elemental spirits of air, water, fire, and earth.
The bedtime story seems to suggest there is more behind the reason Elsa has magical powers. In the present, Queen Elsa starts getting distracted by a siren call that only she can hear. As the voice's pull gets stronger, Elsa realizes that elemental magic is hurting her kingdom, so she sets out to find the long-hidden forest.
Elsa the Snow Queen and her sister Anna take on the adventure with their friends, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven. The group makes it to the enchanted forest, and the two sisters learn more about their parents' deaths.
They even encounter a long-missing group of Northuldrans and Arendelle soldiers, who've been trapped for decades. Elsa eventually comes up with her plan to use her powers to save Arendelle to restore peace with what's left of the Northuldrans.
"It was great, I definitely enjoyed the movie and would see it again." Said Forsyth.With help from their friends they all came together to come up with a plan to save everyone and Arendelle itself. A great idea would be to grab some friends and make a trip to your local movie theater.

Last Failsafe to Fix 2020 Election at Supreme Court – Brunson v. Adams, by Greg Hunter
This is a fascinating case that has flown as low under the radar as a Supreme Court case can. If the plaintiff's case is upheld, it will have staggering ramifications. From Greg Hunter at usawatchdog.com:
Loy Brunson and his three brothers have a case before the Supreme Court right now that could be both groundbreaking and earth shaking. Many on both sides of the aisle think the case is frivolous and meritless, but the Brunson brothers disagree. Their case is 22-380 and titled Brunson v. Alma S. Adams. The case centers around the 2020 Election and charges by 100 members of Congress who wanted to investigate fraud provided for in the Constitution. By voting not to investigate, members of Congress broke their oath, according to the Brunson Supreme Court case. That's the legal action in a nutshell. Brunson says his case has national security implications because enemies of the United States, both foreign and domestic, are in the process of destroying the country and the U.S. Constitution as a result of the 2020 Election. Is this way of thinking over the top? Brunson says, "No, it is not over the top, and I think the Supreme Court judges are probably aware of how urgent this is and that we are at a tipping point. This is like the last failsafe at the U.S. Supreme Court with this case. The timing is unbelievable that we have been able to bring it and have it at this time. So, it's a do or die. We have had conversations with many people, and they say they have given up hope until they saw this case. . . . The bottom line is the court has the power to do it. . . . It could be a 9 to 0 vote because it is not political . . . The justices could defend this by saying this has nothing to do with partisan politics. It has everything to do with taking our oaths seriously and the Constitution seriously."
If Brunson wins, he's asking the court for the cancellation of credentials of 387 House members and Senators, and this includes the President and his VP because oaths were broken by NOT investigating election fraud. By the way, DNI John Ratcliffe had a report out 11 days after the vote to NOT investigate on January 6, 2021. His report showed China DID interfere with our 2020 Election. All 17 intelligence agencies under DNI Ratcliffe agreed this happened.
Brunson says, "Both parties are going to lose temporarily, and there will be some vacancies, but they will be filled pretty quickly. Both parties are going to be suffering from this . . . but it's a good thing. It's going to be preparing the groundwork for much more honest representatives, and both parties should appreciate this. . . . people I talk to, when asked what is the thing you want most in a representative, and they say honesty. We want honesty, and what's more honest than stripping their immunity and make them binding to the Constitution?"

The Twitter Files, Part 3: The Removal of Donald Trump, by Matt Taibbi
It looks like a social media led coup. From Matt Taibbi at taibbi.substack.com:
The following is a reproduction of the "Twitter Files" thread from this past Friday evening. Because the entire thread with illustrations far exceeds Google's email limit, I'm putting the document here, and mailing out a link to the material:
1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part 3. THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP: Part One: October 2020-January 6th
2. The world knows much of the story of what happened between riots at the Capitol on January 6th, and the removal of President Donald Trump from Twitter on January 8th.
3. We'll show you what hasn't been revealed: the erosion of standards within the company in months leading up to J6, conscious decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, all against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.
4. This first installment tonight will cover the period before the election through the first day of the crisis, January 6th. Tomorrow, on Saturday, @Shellenbergermd will tell a story in screenshots of the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday, @BariWeiss will guide you through the heretofore secret internal communications at the firm on the key January 8th.

8 In 10 Americans Think Hunter Biden Laptop Cover-Up Changed Election Outcome; Poll Finds, by Paul Sperry
Posted on August 28, 2022 | Leave a comment
Mainstream media suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story not because it was Russian disinformation, but because they knew it would have a significant impact on the election. New polls bear that out, almost two years after the fact. From Paul Sperry at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
A whopping 79 percent of Americans suggest President Donald Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had known the truth about Hunter Biden's laptop – that it was real and not "Russian disinformation," as intelligence officials aligned with Joe Biden falsely led the public to believe, a new national poll reveals.
The survey of 1,335 adults was conducted earlier this month by New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics. The vast majority of those following the issue said they believe that the laptop is real, while only 11 percent still believe it was created by Russia.
The Washington Post and The New York Times recently confirmed that the laptop and contents found on it are, in fact, authentic, after initially pooh-poohing the idea the device belonged to the president's son. In October 2020, the New York Post broke the story that Hunter Biden had abandoned the Apple computer at a Wilmington, Del., repair shop. The newspaper exposed emails from the hard drive indicating the Biden family may have participated in illicit business deals in Ukraine, China, and other countries. Social media censored the story, denying voters critical information on the eve of the election.
Among those following the topic, almost three-quarters (74 percent) believe that the FBI and Intelligence Community deliberately misled the public—and voters—when they claimed the laptop was "disinformation" and part of a Kremlin plot to hurt Biden's candidacy.

The Deep State Is Sadistic, by Jeffrey Tucker
Did Trump do something towards the end of his presidency that scared the hell out of the deep state? And did the deep state respond by making sure Trump lost the election? From Jeffrey Tucker at dailyreckoning.com:
Remember the old days of the Clinton administration?
It came to power riding a center-left push against the messes of the Bush administration. Clinton was careful to distance himself from the crazies with a series of high-profile rebuffs of the worst among them.
The hope was to advertise as a moderate but govern slightly to the left.
But then the polls and the markets started to speak, and loudly. The Clinton White House was highly sensitive to them. The president himself was said to have cursed the bond market more than once, demanding to know who precisely was running this country, himself or bond traders?
Nonetheless, the administration responded to all inputs. The federal budget did not expand dramatically. Indeed the budget was temporarily balanced. And then welfare itself was reformed to cut it out with the generous benefits for sheer laziness that had characterized the welfare state since the 1960s.
An economic boom commenced and these days people look back rather fondly on the whole experience, choosing only to remember the president's dalliance with an intern.

Election Watchdog Finds 137,500 Ballots Unlawfully Trafficked In Wisconsin, by Steven Kovac
Like the Hunter Biden laptop story, 2020's election fraud is starting to surface. Whether anything will come of either story in our corruption-riddled society, no one can say. Don't hold your breath. From Steven Kovac at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin's largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly's Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).

Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called "harvesting" and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
"An organized crime against Americans" is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.

Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.

How Bill Barr's Silence Impacted The Outcome Of An Election, by Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke
From the time Trump appointed Bill Barr SLL said he was 100 percent Deep State. He did nothing during his time as Attorney General to change that assessment. From Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
On May 18, 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr made a statement to the media, declaring that special counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Russiagate hoax wasn't focused on either former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden, stating that "I don't expect Mr. Durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man."
In his new book, Barr has revealed that he made that statement in response to a series of tweets by then-President Donald Trump. A week earlier, Trump had started using the term "Obamagate" on Twitter, alleging that both Obama and Biden had "led the charge" on the FBI's phony Russiagate investigation.
Barr recounts in his book that he felt it was unacceptable for Trump to attempt to drag his presidential election opponent into the Russiagate scandal and that Barr felt that it was incumbent upon him to make a public statement.

Americans Need a Conspiracy Theory They Can All Agree on, by Patrick Armstrong
You can tell a lot about people by the conspiracy theories they subscribe to. From Patrick Armstrong at strategic-culture.org:
A deeply divided country: there is no common conversation in the United States today – one person's conspiracy theory is another's truth.
No subtlety of thought survives in the culture of unreason. Public space is populated with poseurs, cutouts, and imposters. Public discourse, with some exceptions, is much of the time not worth bothering with.
– Patrick Lawrence: Obituary for Russiagate.
There is a conspiracy theory that the CIA put the very expression into general use to discredit alternate theories about the murder of President Kennedy. Perhaps that's true – there is a CIA document – but the expression has been around for a long time. At any event it has become a slur to discredit political opponents. The accusation replaces rational discussion.
There have been actual conspiracies in history. There was a conspiracy to murder Caesar. And to murder Anwar Sadat. The Bolsheviks did conspire to take power and so did Guy Fawkes. Sometimes they succeeded – often surprising the conspirators – and sometimes they didn't. Many times the conspirators thought the deed itself was all that needed to be done but Caesar was succeeded by Caesar and Sadat by his chosen successor. There are probably fewer conspiracies than people imagine but they do exist.
Conspiracy theories abound in the USA today. But, it should be made clear from the outset of this discussion that there are two different kinds of conspiracy theories – unacceptable ones and acceptable ones. An example of the first kind is the assertion that Trump was cheated of victory by vote-faking in key areas. The assertion is "baseless", pushed by the "far-right-wing" and the "deluded"; has been "debunked" in detail; its so-called arguments are "bogus, none credible"; there is "no evidence" and so on. The full weight of the corporate media stands against this idea and it flourishes only in the undergrowth. Nonetheless, 29% of Americans in a March survey "completely" or "mostly" agreed that the election had been stolen from Trump (66% of Republicans, 27% of independents and 4% (!) of Democrats). So that particular conspiracy theory has significant support.

Just 10,000 Tune In To Biden 4th July Live Stream, by Steve Watson
Just as in the election campaign, Biden draws nobody, Trump draws huge crowds, but somehow Biden won. Sure he did. From Steve Watson at summitnews.com:
That equates to around 0.003% of the population
The numbers are in. Joe Biden struggled to engage any Americans on the Fourth of July as he ordered them to get vaccinated, calling it the most patriotic thing anyone can do for their country.
As he squinted and stumbled through a 15 minute speech on the White House lawn that was solely devoted to fear mongering about COVID, fewer than 10,000 people joined the YouTube livestream.
That equates to around 0.003% of the population.
Yet he received a record 81 million votes in the election, apparently.
The figure is also four times less than the number of people who attended President Trump's huge Independence Day rally in Florida on Saturday.
In addition, a whopping 375,000 tuned in live to watch Trump's event.

There Were No Calls for Censorship Against Democrats For Their False Claims About the 2016 Election, by Joe Lauria
You can toss out whatever conspiracy theory you want about an election, as long as the alleged conspirator or conspirators are not Democrats. From Joe Lauria at consortiumnews.com:
Democrats have pressured social media to take down posts that question the 2020 election, but no such pressure was exerted on Democrats who questioned the 2016 election, writes Joe Lauria.
Sundar Pichai, Google CEO (Wikimedia Commons)
he Democratic Party has pressured social media companies to enter into a highly risky endeavor that is bound to reverberate against the party's interests.
With the leverage of regulating the social media giants, Democrats have browbeaten the chief executives of Facebook, Twitter and Google (which owns YouTube) to remove any post that questions the legitimacy of the 2020 election. As journalist Glenn Greenwald has shown, the pressure goes beyond getting private sector proxies to do what the government is forbidden to do: censor communications.
Greenwald cited case law to bolster the argument that Democratic members of Congress are actually violating the First Amendment by doing so. Democrats have grown so bold as to maneuver to get cable television providers to remove Fox News from their channels, the way social media has already banned masses of people.
Consortium News became embroiled in this controversy when Google's YouTube deleted an episode of CN Live! last week for supposedly breaching YouTube's policy against "scam, deception and spam." The policy reads:
"Content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election is not allowed on YouTube."
But the banned CN Live! episode was about the Jan. 5 Georgia election runoffs, not the Nov. 3 presidential election. It was also about voter suppression not election fraud, errors or glitches, which YouTube may or may not have understood.
YouTube gave Consortium News a "warning" about this video on Feb. 21 and said if we violated the policy again it would cast a strike against us. Three days later, during which Consortium News posted no new videos to its YouTube Channel, the warning was inexplicably turned into a strike. With three strikes CN Live! could be kicked off YouTube, with its massive reach. After YouTube rejected CN's 800-character limited appeal, there is no longer any way to communicate directly with them.

Opinion: Time Magazine Details the 'Shadow Campaign' Against Trump, by Jeff Carlson
It's a good thing a cabal of wealthy and influential people, united by their loathing for Trump, saved us from the orange man. From Jeff Carlson at theepochtimes.com:
"They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it," Time magazine says
In a surprisingly brazen article, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," Time magazine chronicles a myriad of pre- and post-election actions taken by a loose coalition of Democratic operatives, grassroots activists, mainstream media, tech companies, and corporate CEOs before and after the 2020 presidential election.
According to the article, the effort consisted of "a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information."
In the post-election days, the author refers to this disparate grouping of players as a "conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs" resulting in an "informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."
Although the words "cabal" and "conspiracy" are used to describe the sweeping activities of these groups, collectively referred to as the Shadow Campaign, the article's author takes pains to note that these efforts weren't aimed at "rigging the election; they were fortifying it."

HCV Program Basics
The purpose of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is to provide rental assistance to eligible families. The rules and regulations of the HCV program are determined by the US. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and LRHA is afforded choices in the operation of the program which are included in the LRHA'S administrative plan, a document approved by the board of commissioners.
The Housing Choice Voucher program is just that, it allows the eligible families the mobility to search for homes of their choice using their voucher. The search can be anywhere in a 25 mile radius of city centre and, after one year, the family is eligible to move under portability to another Housing Authority's jurisdiction.
When funding is available, and the LRHA issues the family a housing voucher; and when the family finds a suitable housing unit, the LRHA will enter into a contract with the owner and the family will enter into a lease with the LRHA. Each party makes their respective payment to the owner so that the owner receives full rent.
Even though the family is determined to be eligible for the program, the owner has the responsibility of approving the family as a suitable renter. The LRHA continues to make payments to the owner as long as the family is eligible and the housing unit continues to qualify under the program.
The HCV Partnerships
To administer the HCV program, the LRHA enters into a contractual relationship with HUD (Consolidated Annual Contributions Contract). The LRHA also enters into contractual relationships with the assisted family and the owner or landlord of the housing unit. For the HCV program to work and be successful, all parties involved - HUD, the LRHA, the owner, and the family - have important roles to play. The roles and responsibilities of all parties are defined in federal regulations and in legal documents that parties execute to participate in the program.

Literary Trails: Jane Austen's Hampshire
June 12, 2014 By Rachel Newcombe This article may contain affiliate links. We may earn a small commission if you buy through our links.
It's a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of Hampshire's best known novelists. For those keen to link a love of literature with travelling, there are plenty of Austen-linked places in Hampshire (located in the South of England) to explore. Here are three of the essential haunts and homes of Jane Austen to add to your literary trail.
Jane Austen was born on 16th December 1775 at Steventon in Hampshire. Her father, the Reverend George Austen, was the local rector at Steventon church from 1765 to 1801, and Jane lived here until she was 25 years old.
Sadly, the Austen's house in Steventon – the rectory – was demolished. The only surviving relic is an iron pump in a field, surrounded by railings, which is said to be a replacement of the wooden pump the Austen's used. However, the church is still there and makes Steventon a definite stop on the Austen literary trail.
The exterior of the 12th century church where her father worked and which Jane and her family attended, hasn't changed a great deal since their time. Inside you'll find memorials to James Austen (Jane's brother, who took over the rectorship from his father) and his family, plus their graves in the graveyard outside. There's also a plaque dedicated to the memory and work of Jane herself. OS grid map reference: SU554.7
Jane lived with her family in the village of Chawton, near Alton, between 1809 and 1817. Her home here is renowned as being her 'literary home,' as it was here that she wrote her famous novels Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion, and revised and edited Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey before they were published.
The 17th century house where she lived at Chawton has been preserved and, since 1947, has been run privately by the Jane Austen Memorial Trust as Jane Austen's House Museum. For true fans of her work it offers the chance to glimpse into her life and see the home and environment in which she worked and gained inspiration. If you want to explore her work in more detail, then there is also a reference library based at Chawton.
Jane Austen's House Museum

In early 1817, Jane's health declined and she moved to Winchester on the recommendation of her doctor. Her final days were spent living at 8 College Street (now a private house) with her sister, Cassandra and it was there that she died, on the 18th July 1817. Her funeral was held in Winchester Cathedral and she was subsequently buried in the north aisle. Many Austen fans visit the cathedral to see Jane's tomb. The original memorial inscription made no mention of her literary achievements. It simply says:
"In Memory of JANE AUSTEN, youngest daughter of the late Revd GEORGE AUSTEN, formerly Rector of Steventon in this County. She departed this Life on the 18th of July 1817, aged 41, after a long illness supported with the patience and the hopes of a Christian. The benevolence of her heart, the sweetness of her temper, and the extraordinary endowments of her mind obtained the regard of all who knew her and the warmest love of her intimate connections. Their grief is in proportion to their affection, they know their loss to be irreparable, but in their deepest affliction they are consoled by a firm though humble hope that her charity, devotion, faith and purity have rendered her soul acceptable in the sight of her REDEEMER."
However, this lack of literary mention was re-addressed as time went on, and in 1972 a brass plaque was added:
"Jane Austen. Known to many by her writings, endeared to her family by the varied charms of her character and ennobled by her Christian faith and piety was born at Steventon in the County of Hants, December 16 1775 and buried in the Cathedral July 18 1817.'She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness'."
You can easily explore the cathedral yourself and see the memorials, but it's also worth noting that the cathedral does offer pre-booked tours for groups of five or more, with one focusing entirely on Jane Austen.
