YANGON—The ninth annual Wathann Film Festival (WFF), a local platform for new filmmakers, closed at the Waziyar Cinema on the evening of Sept. 9 with an award ceremony. Festival director Ma Thu Thu Shein praised the festival as a success, declaring, "This year's edition drew even more outstanding and creative films than in previous years."
"Not only are the films in competition getting better and more creative, we made the right choices for the other film programs, including S-Express, Highlights, Special Screening and others. We've received a lot of positive feedback from the visiting filmmakers, and we're thrilled about that," she added.
S-Express is an annual collaboration of short film programs from the 10 ASEAN member countries: Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Brunei.

"The program features a variety of topics from around the region, allowing us to 'travel' to those neighboring countries through film," Ma Thu Thu Shein said.
In this year's competition section, the festival chose 12 of the submitted films to be screened. Although the standard of the films was higher, organizers said, there were fewer submissions this year at 36, down from 57 last year.
From the final 12, five were selected to receive the Best Documentary, Best Short Film, New Vision, Audience Choice and Best Acting awards.

Director Aung Min, Keiko Sei from Japan and Dieter Wieczorek served as the judges for this edition of WFF.
"The winners—except for the Audience Choice award—each received 500,000 kyats [about US$330] and a Wathann trophy. In recent years, we presented Judges Choice awards. But the judges' decision was always different from the audience's. That's why we decided to create the Audience Choice award," Ma Thu Thu Shein said.
"Opium Farmers" by director Ma Su Su Hlaing won Best Documentary for its sensitive portrayal of the struggles and lives of two opium-farming families in Myanmar's southern Shan State.
The subject matter was not only fascinating, but also rare for a mainstream film festival, and it deserved to win.

"I did not expect to win this award and really want to say thanks to my whole crew. I wanted to compete at Wathann for the previous two years, but I didn't get the chance because I was working for other filmmakers to make a living. So, I'm so happy to receive this award," Ma Su Su Hlaing said.
The Best Short Film award went to "Sick" (Luu Nar) by director Ko Zaw Bo Bo Hein. The film depicts the predicament of a man who takes a sick friend to a local health clinic one night, only to be told by the nurse that the man is seriously ill and requires treatment at a larger, more expensive hospital, prompting the man to leave his friend and go in search of money. The film examines themes of friendship and the cost of health care.
"It's my fourth time here at Wathann. Finally, I won a prize. When many people appreciate an artwork you've created, it's an amazing feeling—I'm so happy," Ko Zaw Bo Bo Hein said.
Two films, "¼ wasted" and "Between" by directors Myo Thar Khin and Than Lwin Oo, shared the New Vision Award.

"Both films are about unusual topics. So the judges chose both of them," explained Ma Thu Thu Shein.
The Audience Choice award went to "Acceptance" by director Nyi Zaw Htwe. Daw Myint Myin Thein, who plays the main role in the film, won the Best Acting award.
"Even though indie films are still not very popular in Myanmar, we saw a lot of local filmgoers attend the festival. People are starting to notice indie films, which is good," Ma Thu Thu Shein said.
She added, "The films submitted to this year's competition section were all great. The short films showed an improvement from the past, and we need more documentary films. And I hope to see even more creative films in the future."
Over 90 films were screened at this year's festival, including local and international shorts, documentaries and animated films. Filmmakers from Japan, Germany, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Brunei also attended the festival.
WFF is the oldest independent competitive film festival in Yangon. It was launched in September 2011 by local filmmakers Thu Thu Shein and Thaid Dhi. It is a platform for independent local and international filmmakers.
This year's festival was held at Waziya Cinema, the Goethe Institut and Japan Foundation in Yangon from Sept. 4-9.
Topics: award, Cinema, director, documentary, filmmakers, short film, Wathann Film Festival

Welcome to the California Council of the Blind (CCB)!
This pamphlet was developed to answer some questions you may have about the Council. Founded on October 6, 1934, it is one of the oldest organizations of persons with a disability in the United States. CCB offers independent democratic resolutions to social, educational, rehabilitative, transportation, and public safety issues. It is affiliated with the American Council of the Blind (ACB), the largest consumer-driven organization of blind and visually impaired persons and friends in this country. ACB and its affiliates, including CCB, promote social, economic, and educational opportunities for all blind and visually impaired people.
CCB consists of approximately 40 chapters throughout the state and is far and away the largest consumer organization of blind and visually impaired Californians. Its members are of different ages, interests, and ethnicities and represent a wide variety of occupations, political persuasions, and religious affiliations. In numbers, we join together to solve the problems and change the stereotypes that society imposes upon us. It is by working together that the great challenge of blindness can and will be overcome.
Since all members are an integral part of this organization, CCB connects us all together to create a support network; for when a blind or visually impaired person is discriminated against, all of us are affected. We also celebrate each member's individual achievements and the accomplishments of our chapters. Recently, for example, the CCB was instrumental in having talking ATM machines installed at many California banks and in establishing a Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired in the Department of Rehabilitation. Throughout the state CCB chapters and individual members have been involved with accessible voting machines, Para transit issues, installation of Accessible pedestrian signals, and many other developments that affect the daily lives of blind and visually impaired persons. When you become a member of CCB, you automatically have a sense of belonging to a group of people who truly understand and welcome you to a wonderful family of caring friends.
If you wish to inquire about other achievements of CCB, contact the main office. Specific information for reaching the office and for all the Websites and Listservs given in this handbook are listed at the end. The California Connection, the organization's news service for up-to-date information, is readily available after 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day on weekends and holidays. CCB offers connections to all aspects of blindness from student life and technological advances on the one hand to the concerns of parents and senior citizens on the other. Members stay informed on state and national developments in all areas of blindness with the "California connection"; our quarterly newsletter, The Blind Californian; and the monthly publication of ACB, The Braille Forum. Members also keep each other aware of daily issues through our online listserv, our students' listserv, and various lists from the American Council of the Blind. The CCB and ACB Websites offer many resources on blindness for our members and for the public. Again, refer to the detailed information at the end of this handbook.
Each member receives help when advocacy is needed and mentors who can give both advice and assistance in problem-solving. Monthly meetings and social activities lead to lasting friendships and lessen the feeling of isolation often experienced by those with vision loss. Semiannual conventions of CCB and the annual ACB conventions also provide valuable learning experiences as well as opportunities to meet vendors of blindness-related products and services.
Any resident of California who is 16 years old is eligible to become a voting member of CCB. The five classes of members are: Chapter Members; Members at Large (those not residing near a chapter); Life Members (people who pay Life Membership dues); one Honorary Member, the founder, Dr. Newel Perry; and Sustaining Members (nonvoting groups or individuals who pay $25 annually to support the organization. Chapter Members, Members at Large and Life Members may vote, present motions, speak on the floor of the convention, serve on committees, and hold office. The majority of these members must be legally blind. As a member of CCB, you can participate in making the world a better place for blind and visually impaired people; advocate for change at the local, state, or national level; and serve on one of the committees which address issues from education, rehabilitation, and senior concerns to public relations and fund raising. Through advocacy efforts you can help make accessibility the norm. Total accessibility means being able to read any materials available to the public, walk in a safe environment, work in any setting we choose, and participate in any activities that other people do. You can strengthen our advocacy and service efforts by inviting your friends and colleagues to join us. The areas open to you are many and varied. CCB committees include advocacy, Awards, Access and Transportation, Constitution and Bylaws, Convention, Credentials, Crisis, Devotional Services, Domestic Violence and Hate Crimes, Education, Employment assistance, Finance and Budget, Fund Raising, Governmental Affairs, Membership, Publications, Public Relations, Rehabilitation Services, Resolutions, Scholarships, Senior Blind, Sports and recreation, and Technology.
CCB chapters vary in their focus. Many are geographically defined by cities or counties while others reflect a special interest shared by the members. The current chapters of CCB are: ACB Capitol, Active Blind Inland Valley, Alameda County, Antelope Valley, Bay View, Butte County Council of the Blind, Central Coast Low Vision Council, Compton, East Los Angeles, El Dorado County, Glendale-Burbank, Golden Gate, Greater Bakersfield, Greater Los Angeles, Greater San Joaquin Valley, High Desert, Humboldt, Inland Empire, Long Beach, Orange County, Pyramid, Redwood Empire, San Bernardino, San Diego Braille Club, San Diego, San Francisco, San Gabriel Valley, San Mateo County, Silicon Valley, Solano Adult Blind Club, Association for Multi-cultural Concerns, Blind Students of CA, Braille Revival League of CA, California Council of Citizens with Low Vision, California School for the Blind Alumni Association, Guide Dog Users of CA, Library Users of CA, Orientation Center for the Blind Alumni, and Randolph-Sheppard Vendors of CA.
The CCB-L is our member discussion email group. The California-blind-students list is a discussion group for high school and college students. The California-Connection list is our announcement-only email outlet which posts CCB's weekly "California Connection" news bulletin each Friday by noon and, on occasion, an action alert of time-sensitive information that needs to be shared. The Blind-Californian list is the email subscription to the Blind Californian, CCB's quarterly-published magazine.
Please note that a subscription to the Blind-Californian list does not forfeit your receipt of the BC in your preferred format, be it Braille, large print, cassette or on disk. This subscription should serve as a supplement to your preferred format. However, if you choose to get the BC only as email, we can accommodate your request. The email version of the Blind Californian is mailed to coincide with the mailing of the publication in other formats. Remember, too, that current issues of the BC can be read online by going to the BC index page at www.ccbnet.org/bc.htm.
These four lists are independent of each other and will require individual subscription to receive messages from them. To subscribe to one or all of these lists, please email your subscription request to CCB.Moderator@gmail.com. In this email, indicate which list you would like to be subscribed to. The above email address is also our general inbox to which you can send messages modifying your subscription requests in the future. It is your responsibility to notify the Moderator of change of email address. After subscribing to your lists, be sure to add their email addresses to your address book within your email client as well as the address book within the mail server content in your online email account. Doing so will ensure that you will receive all emails sent to your subscribed list as well as prevent your email configuration from blocking receipt of these emails caused by Spam and bulk mail settings.

In Focus: Caolan Ryan
Under : National 1
Caolan Ryan has vowed to 'kick on' at Chinnor as the fly-half looks to build on his outstanding start to the campaign in National One.
The 26-year-old back excelled on his league debut, kicking 16 points, in Saturday's superb 26-11 win over Plymouth Albion at Brickfields.
Ryan joined the Oxfordshire side from Rotherham Titans in the summer and opted to move to Kingsey Road despite his old club dropping down to the third tier after relegation from the Championship.
Last term, he received the Coaches Player of the Year award for the Titians and Ryan is now hoping he can continue his form for his new club.
.@CaolanRyan was in fine form as @ChinnorRugby stunned Plymouth Albion to win on their National League 1 debut https://t.co/l6s2vCtmaE
— Jack Johnson (@OxMailJackJ) September 4, 2018
"I think it [the move to Chinnor] was about going from full-time to part-time rugby," Ryan said. When you are considering part-time, there are lots of things that come into account.
"At Chinnor, there was a lot that could benefit me in terms of working and I am also able to do a part-time degree as well so the reason to join the club was more to do with the off-field aspects really.
"Saying that, I spoke to the coaches at Chinnor and saw the calibre of squad they were going to have this year and I got the sense that this was a team that wasn't going to come up and just battle relegation, but a team that could really compete.
"We had a good pre-season, but we didn't really have any tight games so it was a bit of an unknown in terms of how the team would perform against Plymouth and also how I would perform myself so I was delighted.
"It was fantastic to start like that. That is now the benchmark and I want to kick on from here."
Ryan has played most of his rugby in National One so coming into the league with Chinnor wasn't an entirely new experience for him.
The former Coventry and Darlington Mowden Park player helped guide Chinnor to their victory against Plymouth, but he insists it was a massive effort from the forwards that got Matt Williams' side over the line.
"I think the win against Plymouth confirmed that we are going to do well this year," he said. "I think the set-piece was huge. They were a big pack and we had a game plan to try and move them around the park, but in the end, the forwards won us the game.
"As a backline we didn't unleash! We had our video review of the game and it was strange to go away and beat Plymouth and have a meeting that wasn't great! We probably played 50 per cent to our ability.
"We were disappointed with our performance, but that's almost exciting in itself because we won at Plymouth and we can improve."
Despite Ryan admitting Chinnor may have been below-par in Round One, the Black and Whites were still able to clinch their maiden win in their first ever game in National One.
Plymouth are still one of the promotion contenders for this season and Chinnor are now preparing to face another candidate for top spot when they host Ampthill and District this weekend.

— Chinnor RFC (@ChinnorRugby) September 2, 2018
The A's finished fourth last term and begun this season with a 43-34 win over Loughborough Students.
This will be Chinnor's first competitive match on their home turf since clinching promotion to National One in May and Ryan can't wait to play in front of his new supporters this Saturday.
He added: "I am definitely excited to play at Kingsey Road. You do have a look at the attendance figures in some of the leagues and Chinnor has always been a place that has had quite a few people down on a Saturday watching so I am really looking forward to it.
"Ampthill are a team that I have played against a couple of times in National One so I know what they can bring.
"It is the same again for us. We are not really sure how the game is going to go, but we are quietly confident that if we perform well, we are good enough to beat them and that is outlook for the season.
"It is a massive cliché, but we are taking one game at a time and I think if we can keep doing that until Christmas time, we could maybe reassess and see where we are at. As players and as a club, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves just yet."

Meal planning. On the one hand, you know it'll help you save money, eat healthier, and avoid the stress of figuring out what to eat when you're standing in front of a nearly empty fridge. On the other hand, it can feel like a chore week after week, especially if you try to do it all yourself. It doesn't help that many weekly meal planner apps expect you to cook three times a day, don't have any "wiggle room" for packaged foods, or turn making a weekly meal planner into a tedious and time consuming data entry task if you want to track your nutrition goals.
We at spoonacular have created a free meal planner that makes it easy to plan your meals and snacks, whether you're having home-cooked meals or including some store-bought foods in the mix. We like to think of it as meal planning for real people. After all, who doesn't occasionally fall back on a frozen pizza or eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast instead of cooking from scratch? If you're out there, kudos to you. Mere mortals: read on to find out how to put our meal planner—free forever—to use.
You can start by searching for a new recipe or product. For example, under the "Recipes" tab you might type in "vegetarian casserole without garlic" if you're looking for something for Meatless Monday but have an important meeting Tuesday morning. You can also search for "gluten free chocolate cake" or "healthy spaghetti". You can then browse the results and drag your favorite recipes over to the right spots.
Under the "Products" tab, you can search for everything from "Greek yogurt" to "gluten free donuts" to "organic smoothie." You can add these store-bought products to your meal plan as well.
Our weekly meal planner uses the spoonacular recipe search and grocery search, which can find recipes and products to suit your dietary needs or just your cravings. You can search for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, organic, preservative free, non-GMO, and more. You can also search for recipes/products with this ingredient or without that ingredient, so you can have your carrot cake with cream cheese but without raisins.
If you already have recipes or products saved in your spoonacular boxes, you can access these in the meal planner by clicking "Recipe Boxes" or "Product Boxes" under the respective tab. You can search your boxes for something specific (by typing "pasta" or "chicken" in the search field, for example) or browse through them by clicking on the box you want to look through. Click and drag any recipe or product you want over to where you want it in your meal plan.
If you are new to spoonacular, creating your own recipe or product boxes is easy; log in and click the plus sign under "My Recipe Boxes" or "My Product Boxes." You can name your boxes whatever you want—try "Desserts" or "Soups" to get started. When you use spoonacular's search engines or browse the site, click "Save to Recipe Box" or "Save to Product Box" at the top of any page with a recipe or product you want to save. You'll be asked to choose which box you want to put the recipe or product in, and after that you can easily find them in the meal planner as described above.
Note: you can also include basic foods that you eat in the meal planner, like a cup of coffee in the morning with your typical breakfast of a banana and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Just click the "Other" tab under "Recipes" and enter one food per line.
As you add recipes, products, and other foods to your weekly meal plan, the nutritional information and cost are estimated for you. Not only does this make it easy and fast to track approximately how many calories and how much protein, fat, and carbohydrates you consume each day, you can also track your vitamins and minerals to make sure you're getting enough calcium, vitamin C, etc.
The price estimate, on the other hand, is a tool for budget meal planning meant to help you see which meals and products drive up your grocery bill, so you can choose more budget-conscious options when needed. This is another reason our meal planner is free; why spend money to figure out how to save it if you don't have to? Note: we unfortunately do not have prices for every product on our site; if the price is unavailable it cannot be reflected in the daily cost estimate.
Recipes and products can be deleted, duplicated, and rearranged however you want. Clicking on the recipe or product gives you the link to the recipe or product's page so you can see the full ingredient list and other information.
Your weekly meal plans are saved automatically as you work on them, but if you want, you can also save your meal plan as a template to use again and again. Click "Save Meal Plan" under the "Meal Plans" tab and give the current week's plan a name, such as "Busy Work Week". The next time you have a really busy work week, you just have to look under "My Meal Plans" and click "apply" to add all the saved recipes/products from your "Busy Work Week" meal plan to the week you're planning. You can also click "Preview" to see the meal plan before you apply it.
You also have the option of making public or private meal plans. Public meal plans can be found on your profile page and under the "Community Meal Plans" section. If another user likes your meal plan, he or she can click "Apply" to use it for their meal planning. If you are looking for some inspiration, you might want to check there too!
Weekly meal plans can also be synced with your calendar and your family's calendars. Click "Sync with Calendar" for instructions.
Once you are done meal planning, click "Shopping List" to print or email your shopping list. At the top of the shopping list, you can choose the date range you want the list to reflect. For example, you might want to select the current week, or if you shop less often, the next two weeks. You can also click the little trash cans to remove items from the list that you already have, or you can click the plus signs to add something else you need that's not already on your list, such as body wash or toilet paper. You can reorder the grocery aisles by clicking the name of the aisle and dragging it to where you want it.
The best way to familiarize yourself with the meal planner is to use it. So go ahead and plan your first week using our free meal planner with shopping list.

Donald Trump News Today
Team Trump collusion denials fade, GOP will pay price
Written by Mike Malak
"All I can tell you is this, there was no collusion, there was no nothing," Donald Trump said, this time on his way to Asia. The use of a double negative, normally, is read as an affirmation, but it doesn't matter much what Trump says about Russia. No one believes him, anymore, not even Republicans.

Brother! Spooky!
How did we get here? Can't we stay on point and talk about the tax package, President Trump's trip to Asia or at least, something safe that we can all agree upon, like the Trump-Russia, Clinton Dossier controversies?
On perhaps the very worst day of Donald Trump's administration, in which two campaign volunteers, one happen to be his chief of staff, pleaded "not guilty" and a third volunteer, pled guilty to charges by Robert Mueller, the White House is being questioned about, what? Of course, slavery.

Trump at new low in poll
President Donald Trump's job approval rating has declined to the lowest of his presidency. Not only that, nearly half of voters favor Democrats to serve as a check and balance to Trump and Congressional Republicans in the 2018 elections.
That's the finding of a new NBC/Wall Street Journal .poll conducted by Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates and Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.
His current job approval rating of 38%, with 58% disapproving, is the lowest in modern times for a president at this stage of his presidency.

Plenty to fault Trump, but not his phone call to Johnson's widow
Army Sgt. La David Johnson was a brave hero who died protecting his country far from home. That his death has been politicized is an insult to his memory. The turmoil started with a condolence phone call from President Donald Trump to Johnson's widow, Myeshia, relayed over a speakerphone. Thereafter, a verbal firefight started. Days of bad press followed, even ensnaring White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a retired 4-star Marine General. There're a lot of things to complain about regarding the President, but this isn't one of them.

Trump's John Kelly, corrupted in Gold-Star, Wilson episode, needs long walk
My own heart is saddened over White House events this week.
General John Kelly, Donald Trump's chief of staff, in his desire to help the president make this country great again, is making another decent person, corrupt, yet again.
Trump's NASA not lost in space like Obama's, will reboot with SpaceX, private partners
In a historic speech to Congress on May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy outlined an exciting vision for the American space program. He challenged Congress and the nation to "commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

Trump's imperfect union to the US Constitution and the truth
The president of the United States is the voice of the American people, chief proponent of our values, and democracy's best salesman to the world. Donald Trump falls short in each category. He speaks for a shrinking minority of the country; mocks traditional value; and shows a disturbing disregard for pluralism. To Trump, political opponents aren't alternate voices, they're enemies to be squashed. Not even the first amendment to the Bill of Rights is immune from this president's scorn, and frequently unhinged attacks.
The Donald Trump Jr, Jimmy Kimmel spat over Harvey Weinstein needs John Kelly cameo
Time magazine ran a front-page photo of a saint-like Jared Kushner the week of June 1, 2017, identifying him as "The Good Son." When it published a cover with Donald Trump Jr., the identifier was "Caught Red Handed," with a dark, moody, picture that resembled a mobster's mug shot. The disparate treatment was extreme, though Kushner, so far, is unlikely to bring the Administration down.

Donald Trump, Moron, Dotard, Goldwater rule: A page is turned
Some say one man's madness is another man's strategy. Vanity Fair is calling it "Moron-gate," except the dotard in the cupboard isn't Donald Trump, it's Rex Tillerson who takes the dunce cap for his flip, petty, slap at the President, by calling Trump a "moron," for one thing, or another. If "Moron-in-Chief" becomes as quintessentially defining of President Trump as "Crooked Hillary" is of his nemesis, it's on Tillerson.

The first of five novels featuring action hero Richard Hannay, and the basis for the classic Hitchcock film
May 1914. Britain is on the eve of war with Germany. Richard Hannay is living a quiet life in London, but after a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger he stumbles into a hair-raising adventure—a desperate hunt across the country and against the clock, pursued by the police and a cunning, ruthless enemy. Hannay's life and the security of Britain are in grave peril, and everything rests on the solution to a baffling enigma: what are the 39 steps?

John Buchan (1875–1940) led an interesting and varied life as a statesman, barrister, journalist, intelligence officer, Member of Parliament, historian, biographer, poet, and novelist. His work was a considerable influence on other novelists, including Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, and John le Carré. He published his most popular novel, The Thirty-Nine Steps, in 1915, and it has never since been out of print. Stella Rimington is the author of At Risk and the former director general of MI5.
What People are Saying About This
"Richard Hannay is, like his American brother Philip Marlowe, a modern knight errant. Charging through a hypocritical world, he is a seeker after truth with a boundless love of nature, a liking for simple pleasures and a hatred of pettiness and snobberies... Buchan's novels are eerily resonant with today's troubles...Hannay is a hero of all times."
"Buchan makes superb use of wild landscapes in this economical and gripping story."

Chapter Seventeen:
When Winston Standfield arrived at Kelowna International Airport he only had to look around for a few minutes before he saw an attractive, well- dressed brunette holding a white poster with black lettering that spelled out the name, 'Susan Richards'.
Winston held out his hand to greet the woman.
"Ah, it wasn't hard to find you at all. I'm Winston Standfield."
Susan shook Winston's hand.
He did not look at all as she had pictured him in her mind. She thought it rather amusing that a man of Winston's age would look so cool. She found it hard not to stare at this man's long white hair complete with a ring shaped golden earring. He had amazingly thick hair that was back combed, but extended way past his shoulders and part way down his back.
Winston was wearing a black Metallica tee shirt, faded blue jeans and red Converse runners. He was the epitome of middle aged hip.
"I'm pleased to meet you Mr.Standfield. That you very much for coming to the airport to give me a ride."
"No problem at all, my lady," Winston said, giving her a warm smile.
Susan's original purpose had been to angrily confront this man for offering to take her daughter on a dangerous expedition, but she was beginning to like Winston. In spite of his outlandish appearance he was a real gentleman.
Winston walked Susan out to his prized 1994 white Ford Tempo.
"Does this car still run?" Susan asked.
"Runs like a charm. Don't worry. I fully reconditioned it myself."
Winston opened the car door for Susan to get in.
"How did you learn how to fix cars? Were you a mechanic at one time?" Susan asked.
"No, not me. My father was a licensed mechanic. He would bring home old cars to fix up and resell. I used to help him so I learned a lot about repairing cars."
"My ex-husband told me that you're a marine biologist," Susan said.
"That's true. Up until recently. I had worked for many years for The Department of Fisheries."
"So are you retired now?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes, but I'd prefer not to go into that just now," Winston stated.
In less than fifteen minutes they arrived at Winston's house.
"I will apologize for the messy house in advance. I have a lot of books and magazines scattered all over my living room," Winston said, opening the front door of his house for Susan.
"Let me introduce you to my grandson Wally and his friend Garry Hardy, and of course, your own daughter, Stephanie."
All three young people were watching Friday Night Smackdown when Winston and Susan walked in the house.
"Wally and Garry I'd like you to meet a lovely lady named Susan Richards. Stephanie, of course, will not require any introduction."

Chapter Sixty-Five:
"I still love professional wrestling," Winston said leaning back in his Lazy Boy and reaching for his pipe and tobacco. It's been about twenty years since my last match but sometimes I still miss it. I mean I don't miss waking up and feeling like I've been run over by a semi or all the hours spent travelling, but I do miss the pure adrenaline rush of performance art."
"Tell me more about your career as a pro wrestler, Winston," Garry said while petting Winston's dogs. "Life as a pro wrestler is certainly much different than working a nine to five job," Winston said. "You spend a lot of time on the road. I only had a handful of matches in the WWE. For most of my wrestling career I worked the independent wrestling circuit."
"What was the biggest difference that you found between the WWE and the independent wrestling promotions?" Garry asked.
"That's easy," Winston answered. "The money. The second thing would be the lack of job security in independent wrestling organizations. And then there was the travel. Professional wrestlers spend a lot of time travelling whether they work in the WWE or for the independent promotions. The fact is you spend a lot more time travelling between wrestling gigs than you actually do wrestling," Winston said packing some high grade pipe tobacco into his Sherlock Holmes meerschaum pipe. "
Winston owned five pipes that he kept in a wooden pipe holder that his ex-wife had given him as a present for one of his birthdays.
"We almost always car or van pooled as wrestlers. The big difference was that in the WWE the wrestlers could afford new, roomy SUVs. Some of the top talent even had Hummers. In the independent promotions the wrestlers usually travelled in an uncomfortably packed van or a rusted out car that was at least twenty years old. Vehicle breakdowns between gigs was common. It wasn't unusual to have to leave our stalled car and thumb a ride the rest of the way to a wrestling show."
"Wow, That doesn't sound like too much fun," Wally said.
"Actually, it was, most of the time. You see when I was a much younger man I used to work factory jobs. That kind of work is total drudgery for eight hours per day.
When I first began my wrestling career, you never had a boring day. There was no way of accurately predicting what was going to happen on any given day or night," Winston said.
"Plus, you have to remember, we were young then. We could tolerate a lot more physical and mental abuse. I could go on for days telling you guys wrestling stories from my past. But let's continue with that tomorrow. Friday Night Smack down is just starting."
The two boys and Winston had a good time watching Friday Night Smackdown. Winston provided an entertaining and educational running commentary on the matches, and explained the differences between present day wrestling and old school wrestling.


The Wee Round House is located on the croft adjacent to the village of Caol near Fort William. It has stunning views of Ben Nevis and Loch Linnie. The wee round house has a gas cooker, sink, four beds, wood burning stove and cooking implements. There is a chemical toilet outside and also a secure area for bikes canoes ect. The cost to stay is £50 per night and with it sleeping four people the shared cost works out very reasonable. Wood for the stove is supplied at £2.50 per basket but the first basket is free.

Doctors warn sleep deprivation linked to serious health issues
Kari Dequine Hardin Steamboat Today
Doctors warn the effects of sleep deprivation are linked to a variety of serious health conditions.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — What do obesity, Alzheimers, cancer, periodontitis, high blood pressure, Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez spill and 20 percent of car accidents have in common?
They are all linked to sleep — more precisely, sleep deprivation.
It's common sense that a good night's sleep is good for one's health and visibly makes a person feel and perform better the next day. But increasingly, studies are showing the far-reaching potential health consequences of not getting enough sleep.
With much of the disease-related research, there remains an "chicken or the egg" dilemma: Is the negative health symptom or disease caused by a lack of quality sleep or is a lack of quality sleep caused by the disease?
As Dr. Jon Hamilton, a family medicine physician with Steamboat Medical Group, points out you can typically find one study that supports and another that disputes various arguments of causation.

And there are many things associated with sleep that are not necessarily directly caused by a sleep deficiency, noted sleep medicine specialist Dr. Brent Peters, a UCHealth pulmonologist who works in Loveland and Steamboat Springs and serves as the medical director of the UCHealth Sleep Lab in Steamboat.
However, with a growing wealth of research on sleep, one thing is is undeniable — the importance of a good night's sleep has never been more evident.
"Every day we are finding out new reasons" on why sleep is important, Peters said.
Some of the newest studies are connecting sleep disruption to the buildup of a protein in the brain that is a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. However, it is still being debated whether disrupted sleep is a contributing factor to the disease or an early sign.
Mathew Walker, professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and author of the book, "Why We Sleep," discussed the linkage in a widely distributed online video.
"We also know that a lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a toxic protein in the brain that is called beta-amyloid and that is associated with Alzheimer's disease," Walker said, "because it is during deep sleep at night when a sewage system within the brain actually kicks in to high gear, and it starts to wash away this toxic protein, beta-amyloid.
"So if you're not getting enough sleep each and every night, more of that Alzheimer's-related protein will build up," Walker continues. "The more protein that builds up, the greater your risk of going on to develop dementia in later life."
Walker also points to how sleep can impact the immune system.
"After just one night of four to five hours of sleep, there is a 70 percent reduction in critical anticancer-fighting cells called natural killers cells," Walker said. "And that's the reason that we know that short sleep duration predicts your risk for developing numerous forms of cancer.
"In fact," continued Walker, "the link between a lack of sleep and cancer is now so strong that recently the World Health Organization decided to classify any form of nighttime shift work as a probable carcinogen — so in other words, jobs that may induce cancer because of a disruption of your sleep rate rhythms."
Peters cited a 20 percent reduction in the immune system's general effectiveness in just one night of poor sleep.
Then there are the cardiovascular issues. Disrupted sleep can lead to high blood pressure, and thus hypertension, diabetes and a higher likelihood for a heart attack and stroke.
"It is during deep sleep at night that you receive this most wonderful form of effective blood pressure medication," Walker said. "Your heart rate drops, your blood pressure goes down. If you're not getting sufficient sleep, you're not getting that reboot of the cardiovascular system, so your blood pressure rises."
Walker cites a 200 percent increased risk of having a fatal heart attack or stroke for people getting six hours of sleep or less.
In terms of obesity, explained Peters and Hamilton, it is both the case that a lack of sleep can contribute to obesity, and obesity contributes to sleep apnea, which is the disruption of sleep when the body momentarily stops breathing.
When the body reacts to a need for the opening of airways, it releases adrenalin. Blood pressure rises, the heart rate goes up, and even if a person doesn't fully awaken, their sleep is disrupted and their bodies are stressed.
Elevation can have a worsening effect on sleep apnea, Peters noted. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, Peters said, but it can also just be snoring.
In addition, too little sleep can upset the balance of hormone production — including ones that control appetite, energy metabolism and glucose processing.
Research also shows a link between the amount of sleep you get and the onset of gum disease and periodontitis, which can result in the shifting and loosening of teeth and bone destruction.
There is also growing evidence of a correlation between chronic sleep issues and depression, anxiety and mental distress — beyond the grouchiness and irritability we all feel when we didn't get enough sleep.
Then there's the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spill and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger — all of which investigators found sleep deprivation as a significant factor in the ability of the people in charge to make critical decisions.
Also in the "public safety" category, the Institute of Medicine estimates that drowsy driving is responsible for 20 percent of all motor vehicle crashes.
So what happens during sleep that is so beneficial?
"The body needs to recharge," said Hamilton. "You need to get a good night's rest to get back normal in preparation for the next day."
Humans need six to 10 hours of sleep, Peters said. Some can function on less, and some need more.
So if you think you are one of those people who is just fine on less than seven hours — you are indeed part of a select few — just 2.5 percent of the population. And if you function normally on less than five hours, you are part of a very select 1 percent of the population.
Of course this does vary with age. Teenagers who are growing multiple inches per year and have the highest metabolism of their lives need more sleep. They aren't being lazy — they need more sleep, which is why sleep experts push for school start times not before 8:30 a.m., Peters said.
Cognitive function, which includes concentration, working memory, complex thought, mathematical capacity and logical reasoning are all impacted by sleep deprivation.
Walker cites the "recycle rate of a human being" at about "16 hours of wakefulness."
"Once you get past 16 hours of being awake, that's when we start to see mental deterioration and physiological deterioration in the body," Walker said.
Quality of sleep matters greatly, too, Peters and Hamilton said. You can sleep for eight hours, but if you are waking up every couple hours, your body is not necessarily regenerating as fully as it needs.
And there are a number of things that may be disrupting deep sleep, Hamilton said. Medications can complicate the body's natural sleep, in addition to habitual intake of caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
Hamilton also cautions against reliance on sleeping pills.
"When you have to sedate yourself at night, something's not right," he said.
While some newer pills are labeled "low-risk," Peters noted that all sleeping pills are habit forming.
If your mind is racing, then you need to look at precisely what it is that is stressing out your brain, said Hamilton, and work to address that.
So, what else can you do to get a better night's sleep?
Hamilton and Peters prioritize several things.
Think like a bear going into hibernation, Peters suggests. Your "cave" should be dark, quiet and cool — 65 degrees is the ideal temperature.
"It's time to put your body and your brain into park and just let them start relaxing," Hamilton said.
Consistency is crucial. Those strict times set for kids going to bed and waking up should continue just as strictly into adulthood, Peters said.
"The body loves a schedule," Hamilton said.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco for at least several hours before sleep. Alcohol, which does act as a sedative, can lull us into "false sleep," Hamilton said. While it may help you fall asleep, it does not help you stay asleep.
Get exercise, but do so at least a couple hours before bedtime. Not only does this fight obesity, it tires the body out for better sleep.
Don't eat late, especially not hard-to-digest foods.
Put down the phone and turn off the television. Better yet, keep all electronics out of the bedroom. In addition to stimulating the brain, bright lights trigger awakeness in the brain and can suppress the production of melatonin.
Take a warm bath. It isn't just relaxing, explained Peters, it raises and then lowers the body temperature. This mimics the natural cooling process during which the brain tells the body it's ready to go sleep.
Part of why Peters was drawn to the field of sleep medicine is because of the holistic approach to helping people sleep better. Each patient is unique and requires a comprehensive and creative examination into why they aren't sleeping as well as they should be.
And for Hamilton, ""I can't say enough about the importance of good sleep."

"Our regimes are democratic, but we are not governed democratically. This apparent paradox is at the root of the disenchantment and dismay that are so widely felt today." Thus begins the most recent product of French political theorist and historian Pierre Rosanvallon's epic twelve-year effort to explore the nature, health and prospects of democratic government. This is the fourth in a remarkable series of original, thoughtful and wide-ranging studies of democratic ideas and history, democracy as a political regime, democratic societies and now of democracy as a form of government.
In this concluding book, published before the French political establishment was rocked by the rise of the "yellow jackets," whose rise the book foretells, Rosanvallon doesn't beat around the bush. He observes that our era has seen a gradual shift of the centre of gravity in democratic societies. For more than two centuries, the central question has been that of representation: who had a say in the choice of representatives in the first place, and how those representatives performed their roles as legislators while remaining responsive to those who elected them. More recently, the most pressing question has increasingly been the relationship between those who govern and those who are governed.
The great historical battles for democracy centred on the legislature. The new battles centre on the executive, which Rosanvallon argues has eclipsed the former as the most important institution in contemporary democracy. In forms and rituals, the "parliamentary-representative model" with which the democratic era began still exists, but we have effectively entered the "presidential–governing" era, in which the main battleground and source of citizen concern is not about being poorly represented but about being poorly governed.
This being the case, a crucial requirement for "good democratic government" becomes not so much rolling back the pathologies of contemporary electoral and parliamentary politics but ensuring that society is still able to exert some measure of control over the executive. The chief purpose of this book is to describe the mechanisms of vigilance and oversight under which popular oversight of executive power is continuous and effective. This system of "permanent democracy," as Rosanvallon calls it, should be built on the ashes of what was once our "democracy of authorisation," which centred on competitive elections between socially rooted parties with distinct ideological and programmatic profiles and the presumed primacy of the legislature in the fabric of democratic government.
But the institutional realities of government have shifted. The sociological foundations on which the democracy of authorisation thrived have largely been eroded away, hollowing out its potential to deliver stable, effective and legitimate government. The frenzied circus of personalised compaigning either produces voter disenchantment once the messy business of governing commences, or legitimates a slide into leader-centric, populist authorianism. (Rosanvallon discusses several versions of the latter under colourful and such thoroughly European labels as Caesarism and Bonapartism). What this model simply does not provide is an institutional repertoire to exert indicative and corrective popular oversight when the business of governing unfolds following the electoral moment.
What would Rosanvallon's "permanent democracy" look like? Given his focus on the need to keep executive power in check rather than produce smart and legitimate public policy, Rosanvallon largely ignores the potential of participative and deliberative democracy models that leading Australian theorists such as John Dryzek have put forward to supplement representative democracy. Instead, he presents a set of three principles that will allow citizens to "appropriate" democratic functions and duties that have long been monopolised by parliamentarians, and two qualities that those who occupy executive roles need to engender democratic trust. Explicating these five building blocks of permanent democracy constitutes the heart of the book.
Conspiracy theorists are given a field day in filling the vacuum. The hero of Yes Minister, Sir Humphrey Appleby, once said to his hapless minister Jim Hacker, who had publicly committed to an "open government" campaign, "Minister, you can be open, or you can have government." Rosanvallon would probably turn that on its head: you cannot have a democratic form of government worthy of its name, and not be open. And so he advocates government transparency; but even more so, he exhorts citizens to filter, interpret and use the information about government operations that is already available.
The second principle is that of responsibility, which has a familiar ring to those of us who have grown up under parliamentary systems of government. Rosanvallon praises this principle's power to underpin "democratic purification," and to enable citizens to compel the executive branch to interrogate (and learn from) its own past, as well as to take responsibility for a just and sustainable future.
The third principle is that of responsiveness, which should take the form of an institutionalised willingness among those who govern to listen to those who are being governed, and an enhanced capacity for the latter to express themselves. For centuries, governments have focused on managing citizens' minds, steering — these days we would perhaps add "nudging" — their passions and preferences. Rosanvallon mentions the quaintly named "Office for Correspondence Relating to the Formulation and Propagation of Public Feeling," set up during the French revolution, as a case in point. Government should instead organise its listening capacity, while citizens should insist on developing new forums for discussing the most pressing matters of public policy.
This can only happen if those who populate the upper ranks of the executive branch once again become the trustees of the people. To advance this, Rosanvallon offers two key virtues fitting the age in which we live now: integrity and truthfulness. Truthfulness in rulers requires them to resist the ever-lurking temptation to treat falsehoods and obfuscation as core ingredients in their rhetoric (sound familiar?), which could ultimately produce the Orwellian situation in which politically instrumental fiction is allowed to overtake reality to the point of recreating that reality. (If we want a wall built, we call into being an "emergency" that legitimates its building.) Rosanvallon reserves his vitriol for these "demagogic appeals [that] demean citizens while pretending to exalt them." He insists the people should act to bring back plain speaking as the norm for political leaders by waging battle against the lies, falsehoods, half-truths and what he calls "autistic" speech patterns of governing elites.
Calling for nothing less than a "second democratic revolution," Rosanvallon ends his book by proposing three institutional devices that should lie at its core: the establishment of a council on democratic performance with the task of formalising the legal basis for the principles of a permanent democracy; of public commissions responsible for sponsoring public debate on key social issues, evaluating the democratic character of policy deliberation and verifying whether government are faithfully executing policies; and of civil vigilance organisations acting as monitorial watchdogs as well as promoting citizen training, education and involvement. All of this should be underpinned by a charter of democratic action to be approved by the people, ultimately given constitutional status, and policed by institutions of integrity such as the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life that saw the light in France in 2013.
Rosanvallon wants to "bring citizens back to the real economy of politics," which "means replacing promises by truthfulness and integrity." It is a high-minded, ambitious agenda, grounded in a persuasive high-level diagnosis of why our democratic electoral regimes don't produce democratic government worthy of its name. At the very least, it deserves our attention and critical scrutiny. Ideally, Rosanvallon's proposals should be developed and tested in experiments at the local level.
In my native country, the Netherlands, a blue-ribbon state commission has just produced a 370-page tome on the future of our democracy. The bulk of its attention is devoted to addressing what Rosanvallon — who barely gets a mention — would probably say is yesterday's problem: how to restore parliament (and thus the democracy of authorisation) to its former glory, and how to balance popular democracy with the rule of law. There is not a word about the depth of the institutional crisis of representative democracy, let alone any serious discussion of how citizens themselves can ensure that the vast, complex and opaque executive branch becomes more legible, responsive and responsible. Nor is there any consideration of the qualities of democratic leadership that we should demand from those who we put in charge of this giant apparatus.
The yellow jacket protests symbolise ordinary French citizens' deep disenchantment with their hollowed-out presidential democracy. Although Rosanvallon does not really analyse parliamentary democracies, the evidence shows that they share in that malaise. As Australia prepares for another highly competitive, and probably quite nasty, parliamentary election, much more about repudiating the current holders of executive power than any sense of being able to influence the activities of the next set of rulers, Rosanvallon's book deserves a wide audience Down Under.

Corn has been king for a long time
by Anastasia Bodnar 30 March 2008 1 Comment
University of Calgary archaeologists found corn starch residues in ancient pottery shards. "Their discovery shows the spread of maize out of Mexico more than 9,000 years ago occurred much faster than previously believed and provides evidence that corn was likely a vital food crop for villages in tropical Ecuador at least 5,000 years ago (U of C website, EurekAlert)." As described in the paper "Directly dated starch residues document early formative maize (Zea mays L.) in tropical Ecuador", residues of maize with both soft and hard endosperm were found on cooking pots and grinding tools, indicating that both types were grown by the people there.
Importantly, although we do not deny that maize played a significant role in Andean ceremonial life, our results show that it was indeed consumed as food as part of a diverse subsistence system. Our results indicate that a greater percentage of hard endosperm versus soft endosperm maize was cooked in the pots analyzed from Loma Alta. The higher percentage of soft endosperm maize present on the grinding stones may indicate extensive milling of soft endosperm maize to produce flour, resulting in a higher recovery rate from those artifacts. Other starches identified in the ceramic residues show that maize was one of a complex of crops exploited [including manioc, arrowroot, chili peppers, and jackbeans].
In other words, the evidence shows that early Ecuadoreans started using the traditional ingredients of Central American cooking from a very early date. The authors of this paper remind us that "There are dietary reasons why maize, beans, and chili peppers would be cooked together. Whereas maize is deficient in the essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan, and in niacin, legumes contain these essential dietary components and the consumption of maize and beans together complement each other and are nutritionally complete; chili peppers are high in vitamin C, which increases the absorption of iron." The evidence also shows that the Ecuadoreans had been farming crops such as squash and beans well before the arrival of maize. To me, this shows that these people were willing to adopt new farming strategies, even if they had not seen them before.
The residues also show that the people were cooking in very sophisticated ways, such as "the addition of lime (calcium hydroxide) Ca(OH)2, lye (sodium hydroxide) NaOH, or wood ash (potassium hydroxide) KOH" to "increase the temperature at which starches gelatinize, as does the addition of salts and/or sugars to the water." This is known as alkali or alkaline cooking, and is a good way to improve the amount of bioavaliable iron in maize tortillas. Lactic acid works too, as described by Amy Proulx in her interesting paper "Fermentation and Lactic Acid Addition Enhance Iron Bioavailability of Maize".
It so amazing that these people knew what were the best ways to obtain nutrients from their available plant foods over 5000 years ago! We might all be better off if we took their advice.

Nigel Farage laughs off report FBI is looking into his Russia connections
Nigel Farage has ties to Trump campaign associates and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — and the FBI has noticed
By Taylor Link

British politician Nigel Farage, one of the architects of an anti-globalist movement that helped propel President Donald Trump's campaign last year, is a "person of interest" in the FBI's probe into Russia election interference, the Guardian reported Thursday.
Sources told the Guardian that the UK Independence Party leader has piqued the interest of the FBI because of all of his ties with the players involved in the investigation.
[salon_video id="14774085"]
"One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved," an anonymous source told the Guardian. "If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange and Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage."
"He's right in the middle of these relationships," the source added. "He turns up over and over again. There's a lot of attention being paid to him."
The Guardian spotlighted the fact that Farage was not suspected of any wrongdoing in the US investigation. Being a person of interest can simply mean that the FBI believes an individual could have knowledge of information related to the investigation.
Farage, who has an open affinity for Russia President Vladimir Putin and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, called the Guardian's report "fake news" in a statement.
"In response to the Guardian article, it has taken me a long time to finish reading because I am laughing so much," the statement said. "This hysterical attempt to associate me with the Putin regime is a result of the liberal elite being unable to accept Brexit and the election of President Trump."
Farage then denied in the statement ever traveling to Russia and said that his meeting with Assange was arranged by LBC Radio, a London-based national call-in talk show.

Access the Resource:
On 31 October 2000 UNSC Resolution 1325 was adopted. The resolution provided for a range of measures aimed at the inclusion of women in the prevention, management and resolution of conflict. In particular, several of the resolution's provisions addressed the role of women and gender in peace negotiations and agreements. This article examines whether and how Resolution 1325 has impacted on the drafting of peace agreements. We analyse explicit references to women and gender in peace agreements from 1990 to 2010, providing a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the extent to which women and gender are addressed. We conclude by using our findings and analysis to address the relationship of feminist intervention to international law, and debates around the strategies and trade-offs which underlie feminist promotion and use of UN Security Council Resolutions in particular.
