7. CANCELLATION BY THE OPERATOR At any time whether prior to or after the commencement of the holiday the Operator or any of its suppliers may by notice in writing to the Passenger or by notice in the Press cancel the holiday, if it reasonably considers that such a course is justified on operational or other reasonable grounds.

If the holiday has commenced then the Operator's supplier will provide the Passenger with transportation to the place of departure. In the case of total cancellation the Passenger will be offered either: (a) A full refund of money paid; (b) An alternative holiday of equivalent or superior quality at no extra cost to the Passenger; (c) An alternative holiday of lower quality with a refund of the difference in the advertised price.
8.

12. PASSENGER RESPONSIBILITY The Passenger shall board the vessel at least two hours before departure time. The Passenger must comply with the reasonable requirements of the Operator and the Master of the vessel. Prior to commencement of travel, it shall be the passenger's responsibility that he or she shall have received all medical inoculations necessary for the voyage and shall have in his possession all tickets, valid passport, visas, medical card, and other documents necessary for the scheduled ports of call and disembarkation.

Ladies up to their 24th week of pregnancy at the end of the holiday may travel provided that a doctor's certificate is produced. No expectant mother in or over the 24th week of pregnancy can be carried on board the vessel. Should any passenger feel there is a deficiency in the holiday arrangements, this should be communicated to the ship/hotel management or airline staff at the time of the incident. If the matter cannot be resolved during the holiday then dissatisfaction must be communicated in writing to the Operator within 30 days after the return to the U.K.
13. FLIGHTS The cost of air travel for fly/cruise holidays is included in the fare. The Operator reserves the right to select the carrier and the routing for all such holidays. All flights will be operated on scheduled or chartered services of various airlines. Flight timings and routes will be confirmed with your travel documents, which will be sent out about one week before departure. In the event that an airline shall cancel or re-schedule flight(s) the Operator shall have no liability to the passenger(s) for any additional expense or cost incurred by the passenger(s) due to such action by an airline. For travel on dates other than those published, or on a particular carrier or routing, a higher fare may apply. In some instances flight availability may necessitate departure from Heathrow and return to Gatwick or vice versa. Most airlines operate a no-smoking policy on selected flights. The Operator cannot guarantee that designated flights will have a smoking section. Flights booked by the Operator comply with the bonding requirements of the Civil Aviation Authority (licence number ATOL 2718). The Operator in its absolute discretion shall be entitled to substitute a carrier(s) for an alternative carrier(s) of similar quality.
14. HOTEL ACCOMMODATION The hotels offered are subject to change. If for any reason a particular hotel becomes unavailable the Operator reserves the right to substitute one of equal quality. Your designated hotel will be shown on your travel documents, which will be sent approximately one week before departure. The categories of these hotels are those allocated to them by the National Tourist Organisation or other official bodies in the countries in which they are situated, and do not give any other indication of their standard or quality.
15. INDEMNITY The Passenger shall indemnify the Operator for any expense incurred which is not included in the original holiday price including (without limitation) expenses relating to medical, dental or similar treatment, accomodation, transportation and repatriation. Every adult passenger travelling with a minor passenger shall be responsible for the conduct of such minor passenger. The adult passenger shall idemnify the Operator in respect of all liabilities and amounts payable in respect of such minor passengers in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
16. BROCHURE INFORMATION As the Operator is a tour operator, your holiday may be re-packaged from the package offered by the cruise line or other supplier ('the Supplier'), in the Supplier's brochure. Therefore, there may be differences between what is offered by the Supplier and what is offered by the Operator. In such circumstances you cannot rely on what is being offered by the Supplier unless and until the same has been confirmed in writing by the Operator.
17. CONSUMER PROTECTION We are a Member of ABTA which means you have the benefit of ABTA's assistance and Code of Conduct. Many of the travel arrangements we sell are protected in case of the financial failure of the travel company. Please ask us about the protection that applies to your booking. On Holidays we sell as agents for an ATOL holder, all monies paid to the Operator by you are fully protected. In the unlikely event that the Operator should cease trading, passengers will be repatriated under this scheme.
18. COMPLAINTS If you have cause for complaint whilst on holiday you must advise our local representative or agent and the relevant supplier of the service immediately since the opportunity will then exist to resolve the problem on the spot. Please contact Check-in Cruise Club on +44 1388 767222. If this is out of reservation hours please leave a message on our answerphone advising a contact number and room number where you are and we will call you back in office hours. Failure to do this does not allow Check-in Cruise Club the opportunity to help you or resolve any issues. On your return home if you wish us to consider your complaint further then send us a full report together with your booking reference and any additional comments you wish to make. You should do this within 28 days of your return home so that any investigation can take place whilst memories are still fresh and failure to do so may affect your rights under your contract. We undertake to deal with your complaint promptly and fairly. However, if you fail to follow this procedure then we cannot accept responsibility, as we will have been deprived of an opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. In the unlikely event that your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction you may with to consider referring it to arbitration under an ABTA scheme administered totally independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme is simple and inexpensive being based on documents alone and your liability for costs is limited. The scheme is not available for claims greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking form: nor does it apply for claims, which are solely, or mainly in respect of injury or illness. Full details of the scheme can be obtained from ABTA Ltd, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ. As members of ABTA we are bound by the decision of the appointed Arbitrator.
19. ON BOARD GRATUITIES / SERVICE CHARGES The cruise lines operate varying policies regarding onboard gratuities / service charges for the service provided by their staff. Some make it discretionary, some will automatically add a daily charge to your onboard account which can be removed on request and some add a compulsory daily charge to your onboard account but do not expect you to tip at all during the cruise. As per your cruise lines terms and conditions, you will be required to abide by their gratuity / service charge policy and must settle your account in full before disembarking the ship at the end of your cruise. Please note that most cruise line charge an additional service charge and in some cases local tax on drinks purchased on board, this is not classed as a gratuity and is in addition to the On Board Gratuity / Service Charges.
20. PASSPORTS, VISAS, HEALTH REQUIREMENTS & TRAVEL DOCUMENTS The passport, visa and health requirements applicable to British citizens for the arrangements we offer are shown below. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results to fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly. In the event we are asked to re-issue tickets that have been lost, destroyed or stolen and we agree to do so, any charges incurred as a result of this will be payable by you.

In 1993, a consortium of educational and nonprofit organizations formed the Pioneer Valley Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture to identify and address issues facing agriculture in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts. With some of the finest agricultural soils in the world, Valley farmers produce vegetables, dairy products, meat, maple syrup, tobacco, and fiber. In addition, the region is home to the cities of Springfield, Chicopee and Holyoke, the academic communities of Amherst and Northampton, rural hill towns, aging mill towns, and suburban communities.
In 1999, CISA incorporated as a 501c(3) organization, formed a Board of Directors, and launched the Be a Local Hero, Buy Locally Grown® marketing and education program. With funds from Kellogg and others, CISA's promotion of farmers and their products reached consumers throughout Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties. Using newspaper and radio advertising, direct mail, bus board signs, buttons, bumper stickers, and point of purchase materials in grocery stores and farm stands, the "Local Hero" slogan became a household phrase.

Global Isopropyl Alcohol Market Overview:
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) or Dimethyl Carbinol or Isopropanol also popularly known as Rubbing Alcohol offers a wide range of applications across industries. It is a common ingredient in antiseptics and disinfectants and hence extensively used in the medical/ Healthcare and laboratory sector. In chemical industry it is used as a solvent and a cleaning fluid and a disinfectant. Similarly, IPA is used in household industry for making detergents and as a cleaner by combining with N-propyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Besides, it is used in cleaning or washing automotive (vehicles) glass/windows/mirror especially, during the winter to de-ice it. Owing to the vast area of application IPA perceives a huge market demand drawing a huge market share.
Acknowledging the kind of traction gained by this market, Market Research Future recently published a study report. According to the report, continuing with the same trends the Global IPA Market is projected to grow enormously by 2023 and garnering further prominence will register a phenomenal CAGR during 2017 to 2023.
Other factors anticipated to contribute to the market growth predominantly include heavy investments transpired by the IPA manufacturers in to expansion plans. Taking a note from the constantly augmenting demand worldwide, manufacturers are aggressively investing to increase their production capacity. For instance; considering the growing annual demand for IPA in India and considering the potential demand; on Sep. 24, 2017, Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (India) announced its plan to invest 4.5 billion USD to expand the production capacity at its plant in Taloja, near Mumbai.
On the other hand, IPA has some negative aspects that are limiting its market growth. Such as IPA causes respiratory irritation, internal bleeding and in some cases it has been reported to cause visual & hearing problems. Due to which healthcare sector has restricted its uses as an aesthetic. However, the versatile chemical has found some more areas of application acting as a fuel additives in gas dryer and in cleaning of brake oil fluid traces from hydraulic braking systems.
IPA is toxic to some extent and acts as a central nervous system depressant. Inhaling, ingesting or even absorption of IPA could be fatal or poisonous. Hence adequate ventilation is ensured before its application. However, it is not as toxic as methyl alcohol. Apart from its uses as a disinfectant and a cleaner, Isopropyl Alcohol is also widely used in personal care or cosmetic products such as Nail paint remover, perfumes, skin cleaners, deodorants, permanent wave lotions etc.

Great Reviews for The Hating Game
The Hating Game - the romantic comedy based on the novel by Sally Thorne has some strong reviews after the opening weekend in the US.
Directed by Peter Hutchings, The Hating Game stars Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell as two co-workers who start a rivalry that is complicated by her growing attraction to him.
Here are some reviews:
"Thorne's novel might be best known for its hot-and-bothered sex scenes, but she also built a romance with real stakes and big emotion, and Hutchings and his stars translate that to the big screen with ease. Why can't every rom-com make it look so easy?" (Kate Erbland – Indiewire).
"The film is very pleasant and manages to succeed in what many romantic comedies often fail to do — be entertaining and worth revisiting." (Ferdosa Abdi - ScreenRant).
"For fans of best-selling novel by Sally Thorne, The Hating Game movie will satisfy – quite a feat given the cult status the novel has achieved, with its delicious sexual chemistry throughout, for which Lucy Hale and Austin Powell are supremely well cast. This is a film well worth a watch in the Christmas period." (OffTheRecorduk.com).
"The Hating Game sticks to the rom-com playbook and delivers an enjoyable movie that anyone who watches should appreciate." (Nathaniel Muir – aiptcomics.com).
Prorom will bring The Hating Game to theaters in Romania on December 17th and in Hungary on January 20th.

Star Wars fans will immediately recognize those words as the declaration of Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi. However, any false sense of confidence regarding yesterday's "deadline" regarding the Phoenix Coyotes should elicit a similar response.
As has been reported by many different sources, yesterday was supposed to be the deadline by which taxpayers were required to submit their petition for a referendum to be placed on the November ballot for a vote on the City of Glendale's lease and management deal with the group led by Greg Jamison. Hanging in the balance is not only the future of the Coyotes as a franchise, but also the face of the franchise, captain Shane Doan. Through his agent, Terry Bross, Doan had placed a deadline of July 9, 2012 before listening to offers from other teams for his services. The clear intention was to wait and see if the petition seeking a referendum was filed. If it was, then he would probably field offers due to the uncertainty surrounding the Coyotes' ownership. Without it, he appears to be positioned to resign in Phoenix. Looks like the sale to Jamison's group, which is contingent upon the lease and arena management agreement, will be able to proceed and Doan can remain with the franchise. Coyotes fans rejoice!
If that's what you think, then you have fallen into the trap. There is still a laundry list of reasons why the deal to Jamison could fall through.
Relying on the July 9 deadline passing? IT'S A TRAP! The referendum-seeking taxpayers, led by Ken Jones and Joe Cobb, believe that they actually have until July 15 to file their petition. As Mr. Cobb explained in his interview with Puck and Gavel, he and his attorneys, the Goldwater Institute, believe that the deadline is July 15, because it was not until June 15 when they "actually were allowed to obtain blank petition forms by the court order overturning the claim of 'emergency" status.'" Coyotes fans should take some heart that the petition wasn't filed yesterday. Certainly, if Cobb and Jones had sufficient signatures to file the petition, there would be no reason to gamble on the filing deadline for the sake of getting unnecessary additional signatures. But if Cobb and Jones can get sufficient signatures before next Monday, expect the petition to be filed and cast the Coyotes' future into doubt.
Relying on Cobb and Jones having to obtain 1,800 signatures? IT'S A TRAP! In order for the petition to be successful, it must contain a number of signatures equal to 10% of the last vote. The number often cited by Glendale is slightly more than 1,800, which is based on voter turnout of slightly more than 18,000 for a 2008 Mayoral election. However, as was recently stated by Mr. Cobb in an interview with Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal, and later confirmed to Puck and Gavel, the total number of votes he belives that is required is much lower. According to Mr. Cobb, the most recent election was in November 2010 for two city council seats, an election which totaled only 11,309 votes, ten percent of which would be only 1,131, less than 2/3ds of the 1,800 cited by Glendale. According to Mr. Cobb, he was informed by Connie Wilhelm, a proponent of the recently submitted petition seeking to have a referendum on a proposed sales-tax increase placed on the November ballot, that the minimum signature requirement was only 1,131. If Cobb and Jones come in with under 1,800 signatures, expect further litigation.
Let's assume the petitions aren't filed or that Glendale is successful in challenging their validity either because they are filed late or because they have an insufficient number of signatures. Then everything will be sorted out, right? IT'S A TRAP! In his interview with Puck and Gavel "[i]f the contract is signed, even in mid-November after an upholding Referendum vote, we would ask the courts to apply the Gift Clause prohibition to the subsidy." In other words, the contracts can be signed, the team can be sold, Doan can resign…only to then have the lease and management agreement overturned as against the Arizona State Constitution. Honestly, I can't even begin to process the chaos that would ensue from invalidating the lease and management agreement overturned.
Let's assume everything with Cobb and Jones' petitions goes away, never to be heard from again. Surely then, everyone can relax. IT'S A TRAP! The recent submission of petitions to have a referendum on an ordinance approving a sales-tax increase placed on the November ballot could be a further complication to the approval of the lease and management agreement. It has been stated that the sales-tax increase is required in order to help finance the lease and management agreement. In other words, if the tax increase does not go through, then the sale to the Jamison group could be in jeopardy because Glendale will be without the money to help pay for the team.
Also, be careful not to miss the forest for the trees. The key issue not whether the Goldwater Institute is successful in having the referendum placed on the November ballot. It is also not whether the ballot is successful in having the ordinance overturned. Finally, it is not whether the ordinance is overturned in court as a violation of the Arizona Gift Clause. It is just the specter of risk over the possibility of any one of these outcomes coming to fruition that casts the future of the Coyotes in doubt. We have seen a similar threat already kill a deal for the Coyotes, and it could do so again.
With the recent report from Dave Shoalts of the Globe & Mail that if they Coyotes sale does not go through, the team may be disbanded, it would behoove Shane Doan to at least consider leaving the Coyotes, even though no petition has been filed by the July 9 deadline. Could you imagine signing a deal in warm, contending Phoenix, where you have built your life, only to then be picked up by wintry, fledgling Edmonton in a dispersal draft? I don't mean to pick on Edmonton, but it and Phoenix could not be more different in climate -- both weather and hockey.
The bottom line is that if certainty of ownership is important to Shane Doan, then he simply cannot sign with the Coyotes, as their ownership situation may not even be resolved by the end of this year, depending on the ballot and any legal challenges thereto. At least for right now, Doan has the right to choose his own destiny, even if the Coyotes may not be a choice he can safely make. Perhaps it's time for him to follow Admiral Ackbar's advice and take evasive action by finding the next best situation for him and his family, even if that situation is not with the Coyotes.
On a personal note, I am disappointed that I could not post this sooner as it seemed to be the topic du jour for many publications, and I wish I could have jumped out in front of it based upon my interview with Mr. Cobb. Unfortunately, actual lawyering got in the way. I am happy though that I got to post on something that focuses on actual hockey impact as opposed to just a purely legal issue.
Unfortunately, I only had time for one post today and I wanted to get this out there before it was too late. That said, check back tomorrow for information on the upcoming Nassau Coliseum issues, discussed in the light of Land Use Law theories, which happens to be one of my absolute favorite topics of legal discussion.
Finally, check back later this week when I will have an interview with a representative of Glendale First!, a PAC formed in opposition to the Goldwater Institute's efforts to stop the Jamison deal, as currently constructed.
"Two Glendale residents have been collecting signatures in hopes of adding the lease agreement to the November ballot. The city said signatures were due Monday, 30 days after the Glendale City Council approved the lease agreement with Jamison.
But organizers said they should have until next Monday to turn in signatures, because that's a month after they received paperwork to begin their efforts.
The signatures were not submitted to the city on Monday, and one of the organizers, Ken Jones, said he plans to keep gathering signatures and won't turn them in until next Monday. If the city doesn't accept them at that time, Jones said he would consider a legal challenge.
The uncertainty that continues to surround Jamison's bid has paused the negotiation process for Doan, but that could change soon should he decide to explore other teams. Bross planned to talk with Doan on Monday night to see if Doan would like to proceed with that option."
The takeaway here is that Doan understands that this could drag out for a while. Whether that means he will field other offers or even act upon them remains to be seen. Check back here for continuing analysis of the ongoing Coyotes ownership issues.
 I'm a bit of a stickler for technicalities, so I have to point out that this is a bit of a misnomer. What would go on the ballot is Glendale's ordinance which grants the City Manager and City Clerk the authority to enter into a 20 year lease and management agreement, not the agreement itself, which has not yet officially been made with the Jamison group.
 There has also been mention of July 12 as the deadline, as it is 30 days after Judge Fink's order.
 In the interview with the Phoenix Business Journal, Cobb states that he already had the 1,131 necessary, but would not comment on the amount of signatures collected when asked by Puck and Gavel.
My feeling is that Doan and his team are well informed of most of those technical nuances, and his July 9 deadline was more a courtesy move rather than his true desire. He knows that it may linger for a long time regardless what happens with that petition. I expect him to start fielding the offers from everyone.
Perhaps I wasn't entirely clear. The larger point I was trying to make was that if Doan won't sign with the Coyotes unless their is more certainty in their ownership situation, then he can't sign with them because their ownership situation will not be completely settled for a few months.
You're right, the team is in very murky waters and a vision of their future is tremendously unclear. They are facing a very determined opposition which can and will create uncertainty for the team for a while. It might even be a part of their strategy. It seems that Doan is just really unsure about what to do.
And I wonder what the NHL is thinking. They should know better than to expect any clarity until, most likely, the end of the calendar year. I suppose they're just hoping Jamison takes the risk (or scraps the deal relatively soon).
Also, I'm really looking forward to your posts on the NYI arena situation. That mess has really piqued my interest. Feel bad for that team (I'm bet my feelings aren't shared by you as a Rangers fan though lol).
the sales tax initiative is based on the changing of the current Glendale City Charter regarding city sales tax where the Arena Management contract referendum is a contract between 2 parties (Glendale and Jamison's Arena Management group)that doesnt affect the Glendale City Charter.
I understand that, however, the increase in sales tax has been suggested as necessary for funding the arena management agreement with the Jamison Group. Without it, the City of Glendale is projected to operate at something like a $20 million deficit.
So it looks Doan is going to base his decision on the petition of Mr. Cobb & Co. His agent said that the new deadline for when he'll start talking to other teams is July 16th (i.e. the deadline Cobb stated is the actual deadline for when the signatures are due with the city).
Cobb's petition was submitted to Glendale today. Stay tuned tomorrow for my analysis of the submission.
I'll be keeping an eye out for that. Not sure Doan is planning to learn. As you said, if he's looking for clarity on the team's future he won't get it for a while. I think he'll leave just like Whitney (who cited the uncertainly as one of his reasons for leaving), which is unfortunately for the Coyotes and their fan base.
Then you'll be very surprised to see my analysis tomorrow. I think that the clarity is coming, and soon.

Regulations for Israel's Northern Land Divisions
1"These are the names of the tribes from the northernmost extremity westwarda along the road from Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath,b Hazar-enan (a border of Damascus) northward to the coastc of Hamath. The perimeter is to rund east-to-west;e the tribe off Dan with one portion;g 2running along the border of the tribe of Dan from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Asher with one portion; 3running along the border of the tribe of Asher from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Naphtali with one portion; 4running along the border of the tribe of Naphtali from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Manasseh with one portion; 5running along the border of the tribe of Manasseh from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Ephraim with one portion; 6running along the border of the tribe of Ephraim from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Reuben with one portion; 7and running along the border of the tribe of Reuben from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, the tribe of Judah with one portion."
Israel's National Temple Allotment
8"Running along the border of the tribe of Judah from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter you are to set apart the Terumah,h 25,000 unitsi wide, with its east-west length equal to one of the other apportionments, from the eastern perimeter to the western perimeter, with the Temple in the middle of it. 9The Terumah that you are to give to the LORD is to be 25,000 units wide."j
Allotments for the Priests
10"The holy Terumah is to be reserved for these, the priests: Toward the north, 25,000 units in length;k toward the west, 10,000 units in width; toward the east, 10,000 units in width; and toward the south, 25,000 units in length. The LORD's sanctuary is to be in its midst. 11It is to be for use byl priests from the descendants of Zadok, who have observed the things with which I charged them and who did not wander astray when the Israelis went astray, just as the descendants of Levi wandered astray. 12It is to be a Terumah for them from the allotment of the land, a Most Holy Place, adjoining the border of the descendants of Levi."
13"Alongside the border of the priests, the descendants of Levi are to be allotted 25,000 units in length and 10,000 units in width. The entire length is to be 25,000 units and its width 10,000 units. 14Furthermore, they are not to sell or exchange any part of it, nor transfer these first fruitsm of the land, because it is holy to the LORD.
15"The rest, 5,000 units wide and 25,000 units along its front, will serve as a common portion for use by the city for housing and open spaces, since the city is to be in its midst. 16These are to be its dimensions: the north side, 4,500 units; the south side, 4,500 units; the east side, 4,500 units; and the west side 4,500 units. 17The city is to have urban areas set aside: on the north 250 units; on the south, 250 units, on the east, 250 units; and on the west, 250 units.
18"The remainder of the length that borders the holy Terumah is to be 10,000 units long eastward and 10,000 units westward. It is to lie adjacent to the holy Terumah. Its harvest will produce food for those who work in the city. 19The city workers who cultivate it are to come from all the tribes of Israel. 20The entire Terumah is to ben 25,000 units by 25,000 units—you are to reserve it as a holy Terumah in the form of a square within the city limits."
The Allotment for the Regent Prince
21"Now the remainder of the allotmento on either side of the holy Terumah is to be for the Regent Prince and for city propertyp —adjoining the 25,000 units along the eastern border and adjoining the 25,000 units along the western border, and parallel to the allotments. These are to be for the Regent Prince. The holy Terumah and the sanctuary of the Temple is to stand in the middle of it. 22Except for what belongs to the descendants of Levi and the city property, which will stand in the middle of what belongs to the Regent Prince, whatever is between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin is to belong to the Regent Prince."
The Allotment for the Tribes
23"Now as to the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin is to retain one portion.q 24Adjacent to the border of Benjamin running from east to west, Simeon is to retain one portion. 25Adjacent to the border of Simeon running from east to west, Issachar is to retain one portion. 26Adjacent to the border of Issachar running from east to west, Zebulun is to retain one portion. 27Adjacent to the border of Zebulun running from east to west, Gad is to retain one portion. 28Adjacent to the border of Gad to the south and extending toward the south, the border is to proceed from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then to the Wadir of Egypt,s and from there to the Mediterraneant Sea. 29This is the land that you are to allocate by lottery to the tribes of Israel as their inheritance, and these are their respective divisions," declares the Lord GOD.
The Gates of the City
30"These are the exits to the city: On the north side, 4,500 units by measurement, 31are to be the gates of the city. Named after the tribes of Israel, three gates are to serve the north site: one named the Reuben Gate, one named the Judah Gate, and one named the Levi Gate. 32On the east side, 4,500 units by measurement,u there are to be three gates: one named the Joseph Gate, one named the Benjamin Gate, and one named the Dan Gate. 33On the south side, 4,500 units by measurement, there are to be three gates: one named the Simeon Gate, one named the Issachar Gate, and one named the Zebulun Gate. 34On the west side, 4,500 units by measurement,v there are to be three gates: one named the Gad Gate, one named the Asher Gate, and one named the Naphtali Gate. 35A perimeter is to measure 18,000 units, and the name of the city from that time on is to be:

2016 Nuits-St Georges, Les Damodes, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie
Wine Advocate91-93/100
Inexplicably, Damodes escaped the frost entirely. This high vineyard is directly alongside Vosne and does show some of its neighbour's characteristics. The vines are 90 years old and whole-bunch was 90 percent – very symmetrical. This is big, burly and super-ripe; impressive and it works. Drink 2023-2030.
Adam Bruntlett, Burgundy Buyer
Based in Premeaux, just south of Nuits-St Georges, Domaine de la Vougeraie was created in 1999 when Jean-Claude Boisset decided to group together all the vineyard holdings of the various négociant companies he had acquired over the years. Pascal Marchand was put in charge in 1999, with Bernard Zito in the vineyards, which are farmed biodynamically. Pascal produced powerful wines, fairly heavily extracted in his early vintages but clearly moving to a softer style by 2004. The wines have subsequently been made by Pierre Vincent who has maintained the more delicate approach. Top-quality vineyards continue to be added, especially Grand Cru whites in recent vintages. This is Pierre Vincent's last vintage, as he is now installed at Domaine Leflaive. Vougeraie is very happy with this year's result, another domaine to call the vintage "très Bourguigonne", meaning that the precision and purity of the fruit means this is more terroir-focused than 2015's broader and more intense style. They are also very happy with the way the frosted and non-frosted vines finally ripened homogenously, giving much of the credit to their biodynamic culture. Given the health of the berries, a lot of whole bunches were used at fermentation.
France, Burgundy, Cote de Nuits, Nuits Saint Georges
Originally known as Nuits, or even Nuits-sous-Beaune, the town was happy to add the name of its finest vineyard, Les St Georges, in the 19th century. There are no Grands Crus, but many fine Premier Cru vineyards, the mayor of the time – Henri Gouges – preferring not to single out any vineyard for the highest status.
The wines of Nuits-St Georges vary according to their exact provenance. Those of the hamlet of Prémeaux, considered to be part of Nuits-St Georges for viticultural purposes, are often on the lighter side.
The richest and most sought-after are those just south of Nuits-St Georges such as Les Vaucrains, Les Cailles and Les St Georges itself. The third sector, including Les Murgers, Les Damodes and Les Boudots are at the Vosne-Romanée end of the village, and demonstrate some of the extra finesse associated with Vosne.
Several domaines (Gouges, Rion, Arlot) now produce a white Nuits-St Georges from Pinot Blanc or Chardonnay.
175 hectares of village Nuits-St Georges
143 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards (20 in all). Best vineyards include Les St Georges, and Clos des Argillières and Clos de la Maréchale in Prémeaux
Recommended producers: Gouges, Rion, Liger Belair, Potel
Recommended restaurant : La Cabotte (small but stylish)
The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes contains 80% whole bunch fruit and was one of the last to finish its malo (it had been racked three weeks earlier). The nose is clean and fresh, nicely focused with fine delineation. The palate has a pastille-like purity on the entry, supple tannin, quite powerful but with wonderful finesse and focus toward the finish. This is a clear step up from the Clos de Thorey for me. Superb.

VIDEO: 14-year-old boy who overdosed mourned at B.C. skatepark
Police watchdog investigating after boy's apparent drug overdose in Langley
Black Press Media Staff
Aug. 8, 2019 4:50 p.m.
UPDATED: Hundreds turned out at the Thursday evening vigil at Walnut Grove Community Park, gathering around the skate park bowl and laying a tribute of bouquets of flowers, lighted candles, backpack, and a skateboard.
There were many tears and hugs shared among the crowd included children, youth, and adults, as well as police on hand to apparently answer any questions.
Click here to see more photos…
Christian Lussin didn't know the boy well, but he mourns his passing all the same.
The 17-year-old Walnut Grove teen laid a small bouquet of flower and a note on the edge of the Walnut Grove skatepark: "Prayers go out to you and your family. R.I.P."
Lussin delivered the offering on Thursday afternoon, as the Langley neighbourhood was rocked by news of a teen's passing the night before – allegedly due to a drug overdose. The coroner is still investigating the cause of death.
RCMP confirmed there was an apparent overdose of a younger person on site, but would not comment further.
The Langley School District issued a statement late Thursday afternoon confirming the victim was a Grade 9 Walnut Grove Secondary student.
"Losing a student at one of our schools impacts everyone in our community, including students, teachers, and our staff," said district spokesperson Joanne Abshire. "With permission from the student's family, the school has shared the news in an email to families and staff."
"I wish it didn't happen to anyone," Lussin told reporters at the skate park. "I didn't know him much, but I wish I'd got to know him a bit better, honestly. No one deserves to die like this, at such a young age."
Meanwhile, others are offering to help out the family with food and other supports.
The school posted its condolences on social and offered links to grief support and counselling services.
"Recognizing that this is a difficult subject matter to discuss with your children, we ask for families to share this news with their children," the post read. "It is important that each family handle this with their child in their own unique way."
The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has since been called in to investigate this case, noting police were in the proximity when a person was found in Walnut Grove park, and subsequently declared deceased.

Mahira Khan on NYC smoking photo leak: I didn't realise people don't want to see me do some things
Pakistani actor Mahira Khan says she felt "violated" when images of her sharing a cigarette with Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor emerged in the media.
Mahira also cited that it was the first time that she was embroiled in a controversy.
The Humsafar actor spoke at length about working in Bollywood, the impact of the tensions between India and Pakistan on the countries' film industries, and the controversy, on "HARDtalk on BBC World News".
Mahira's photograph with Ranbir Kapoor emerged from New York in September last year, months after the actress' Bollywood debut Raees hit the screens.
Recounting how it became a "national topic and debate", she said: "That was the first time in my entire career that I was caught up in a so-called controversy and it was strange because there were so many things in that. One, obviously you feel violated, you are in a personal down time moment and someone has just photographed you.
Neeli ?? @sheheryarmunawar kaisi lag rahi hun? #7dinmohabbatin
A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan) on Mar 23, 2018 at 2:15am PDT
"Two, obviously there was an uproar, because here I was, someone who is extremely loved in Pakistan, and they sort of keep me up on this pedestal you know, they treat me with a lot of love and a lot of respect. And there are certain things I didn't realise that they don't want to see me do.
"At that point yes, it was crazy honestly because it lasted for a while... It was crazy, it was ridiculous."
Her film Raees, starring Bollywood 'badshah' Shah Rukh Khan, did not get a chance to release in Pakistan. Mahira said she was excited for the film to release in her nation.

A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan) on Feb 15, 2018 at 1:34am PST
"I was more excited about 'Raees' being released in Pakistan than anywhere else, because all I wanted was to sit there with my best friends and my child Azlaan and the audience and watch this and I couldn't."
The Pakistani censorship board had deemed "Raees" as an "ugly, horrible, unacceptable depiction of Muslims" at the time. Mahira feels had the movie released at any other time, it would not have been banned.
"I think their decisions sometimes are based on things that don't even concern the film sometimes. So you know I don't think that was the reason. They said it but I don't know. I don't know if 'Raees' was released today, would it be released," said the 33-year-old.
? #1yearofRaees
A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan) on Jan 25, 2018 at 10:35am PST
The movie, released in January 2017, came just months after bilateral tensions intensified between India and Pakistan over the September 18, 2016 Uri attack that left 19 Indian soldiers dead and the September 28 surgical strikes by India on Pakistan terror camps.
After the incident, India's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena gave an ultimatum to Pakistani artistes to leave India. Zindagi channel withdrew telecast of Pakistani shows. And even the Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association (IMPPA) desisted from allowing Pakistani artistes to work in India.
As a result, Mahira couldn't even promote the movie in India.
She reflected: "It was a two way thing. We got stuck under the political fire really, nothing else. But by the way, Pakistan is still showing Indian films, we haven't banned Indian films at all."
Mahira is currently filming for Saat Din Mohabbat In and Maula Jatt 2.
The episode with Mahira will be aired on March 26.

I've been talking to a few friends and also people who go to the Berkman weblog writers meeting about doing citizen journalism projects for Exploit Boston! (and particpants own weblogs). We're having a conspiring session tomorrow, Saturday, February 28th at Carberry's Bakery in Davis Square at 1pm. Carberry's is located at187 Elm Street. Free wifi is available, too. Anyone interested in contributing ideas and/or some of their time on specific projects (writing, video, photographs) is welcome to join us. See you there?
At last night's Berkman's Thursday weblog writers meetings someone mentioned (again) that Joe Trippi's new project "Change for America" is another way for him to take money from people. I didn't really know what to say to that so I figured I should look into the facts instead of joining the presumptions. It was never my impression that Trippi was trying to take people's money when he was working as the campaign manager for the Dean campaign. He didn't receive a salary and according to an entry on the Change for America website from February 11th (that Mike pointed out to me), he made $165,000 for his 1/3 share of the ad agency's (where he's a partner) commission on the $7M television advertising.
1. I never had budget or check writing authority in the campaign -- nor did I have hiring and firing authority in the campaign. The day to day authority of these administrative parts of the campaign were placed by the Governor in the hands of Bob Rogan, his former Chief of Staff at the very beginning of my time with the campaign and lasted until I resigned.
2. I recently inquired about the contract and my compensation. It turns out it was a 7% contract. Meaning that if $7 million in TV was bought 93% went to TV stations to buy the time and 7% or $490,000 was paid to the firm in which I was a partner. My firm has 3 partners so my third or share comes to approximately $165,000. I will let the grassroots and donors of the campaign decide if that was too much compensation. $165,000 is a lot of money, but it is not the $7 million the media and those leveling the attacks want you to believe either.
So why are they trying to make $165,000 sound like $7 million?
Because how do you stop a movement? How do you stop people from contributing to change their country? Its easy -- make them think the whole damn thing was a ponzi scheme to enrich a consultant.
3. My partner Steve McMahon had handled Governor Dean's media for over 12 years. And Trippi McMahon & Squier were hired as the media firm long before I volunteered to run the campaign when not many would. This is important -- because this fact means that as a 1/3 partner in my firm -- I would have made the $165,000 in 2003 if I had gone golfing in Fiji for the entire year instead of going sleepless in Burlington.
My mom died almost a year ago, on March 20th. The past year has been a series of firsts. First it was her 56th birthday a few weeks after she passed away. Then it was Mother's Day. For years she asked for a mother's ring and my sisters and I never got around to getting it for her. There would always be next year. Times like this make you wonder about regret. Then it was Christmas, the first major holiday without my mom around to call. And then in January it was my 31st birthday and the first time she didn't call to wish me a happy birthday. Around this time last year it was a year since we last spoke on the phone. The grieving process is interesting and I always keep wondering how many more of these "firsts" will sneak up on me.
Howard Dean to Reveal Future Plans in New Haven, CT Tonight?
Howard Dean is speaking tonight at the Omni New Haven Hotel at 155 Temple Street in New Haven, CT. The first email I received passed on by a former DFA staff member included info about the event being coordinated by Connecticut for Dean. It was billed as a combo volunteer appreciation and fundraising event. A second email went out to the Massachusetts for Dean statewide list indicating that Dean will also reveal his future plans at the event. The event runs 7:30-9:30pm with Governor Dean's address at 8:30pm. The Dean for America weblog also mentioned the event but doesn't list any specific details.
Update: It looks like email #1 was accurate. According to Blog for America, Dean's big announcement/news is happening on March 18th, not tonight in New Haven.
BloggerCon II returns to Pound Hall at Harvard Law School on Saturday, April 17th. Lisa Williams thinks a bunch of female webloggers should conspire on a panel together. I think someone in the Boston area with a big house should host the Saturday night party. I'm settling in at my newish residence so that person won't be me. When my mom would visit she usually stayed at A Cambridge House Bed & Breakfast. It's a nice bed and breakfast at 2218 Massachusetts Avenue near Porter Square in Cambridge. On Wednesday afternoon they still had a few rooms available but they'll probably disappear soon.
The Freedom to Marry Coalition of Massachusetts is organizing a Primary Day initiative on March 2nd throughout Massachusetts. They are looking for volunteers who can commit to a 3-hour shift at a nearby polling place. The goal is to identify voters who also support equal marriage rights, and to get them to take action. Training sessions for site captains and other volunteers are being held around Massachusetts this comign weekend, February 28-29.
Josh and a friend are in town visiting this weekend. It's been a fun, low key sort of weekend. Last night I made my not-quite-world-famous-unless-you-just-count-people-I-know enchiladas. Vodka gimlets were also consumed. Josh made the most spectacular peach shortcake. Good times.
Dave Winer and Rick Heller attended yesterday's Institute of Politics session at the Kennedy School of Government titled "REALITY POLITICS: The 2004 Road to the White House." Lynn Sweet, a fellow at IOP, led the discussion which included David W. Jones, the political consultant (hit man) who raised $663,000 from twenty six donors to fund three attack ads against Howard Dean leading up to the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries. At the Berkman Thursday weblog writers meeting last night, Rick pointed out that the McCain-Feingold law includes a section about "527 committees" that allow this sort of thing to be orchestrated against a candidate but not for a candidate. That's wrong on so many levels.
Thanks to my youngest sister Amy and her partner Mike, I'm going to be an aunt this summer! I always figured that if one of us (3) were to have children, it would probably be Amy. I think I'll be a fabulous Aunt. Hopefully I can get back to Nebraska once before and soon after the new human enters the world.
Gabe has been taking his video camera around Boston filming his own news stories and vignettes. On Monday, February 10th he interviewed people at the "Massachusetts State House Rally Against Amending the Constitution."
Massachusetts for Dean sent this announcement out to its mailing list earlier today about this weekend's open house and office hours.

Phonebank captains can download call sheets and instructions at http://commons.deanforamerica.com. E-mail wicalls @ deanforamerica.com for additional details.
Rich Chouinard, a volunteer organizer for Massachusetts for Dean, took a few photos of the Mass for Dean office that the grassroots group recently set up. It's independent of Dean for America. The location is excellent -- it's a 5,000 square foot space at 605 Massachusetts Ave in Central Square. The office is home to the group's volunteer activities and a clearinghouse for materials.

Michael and I met up with other Massachusetts for Dean volunteers in Harvard Square last night to put up the Dean Screen near Au Bon Pain. The Dean Screen is a homemade kit consisting of a traveling video projector with a PVC tubing frame that supports a bedsheet on which we broadcast speeches Dean has delivered around the country. Click the photo to see a larger image.
Gabriel Ben-Yosef interviewed several people who talked about why they support Howard Dean. Check out the video on his website. Michael's tidbits are towards the end.
Jim Moore at Dean for America wrote on his personal weblog about the bat that is bringing in lots of donations today.

And then about mid day--or perhaps later--you realise that you have been part of an historic event--a "perfect swarm." For most people, this will be a surprising and gratifying discovery. You realize that thousands of other individuals made a similar commitment at the same time. It feels a bit uncanny.
What is going on? Swarm power, emergence, something larger than ourselves. Here is a fun thing to do: Take a large crowd--perhaps you are giving a speech--and ask them to clap together to an aligned beat. But don't give them a lead beat. Just ask the crowd to find a beat, by paying attention to their neighbors, and syncing up as they can. I've done this dozens of times, and the amazing thing is how fast a group can come together when it wants to.
Massachusetts for Dean volunteers and supporters are gathering at the big New England Patriots rally tomorrow, Tuesday February 3rd at City Hall Plaza in Boston. Organizers will be in front of the Dunkin Donuts next to the Government Center MBTA Station on the Green Line as early as 10;30am. Additional details are on the info page for the Mass Patriots for Dean event.
