At the end of the hallway, Michael's office features memorabilia meaningful to the former merchant marine as well as comfy seating arranged on a color-blocked rug that adds soft hues and texture to the room.

For many people, a brand-new home is a dream come true. So it was for Surrinder and Michael Sandhu of Bedford, but the circumstances resulting in their new residence were no less than a nightmare. An electrical fire in the attic burned the couple's former house to the ground shortly after Thanks-giving in 2015, leaving them and their three children to live in temporary quarters for two and a half years while various insurance and construction issues were sorted out. "One day we woke up, and at the end of the day we didn't have a house," says Michael.
Eventually, however, with the community rallying around them and a thoughtfully selected design-build team in place, their former home was replaced, and they were able to move forward with their lives, grateful for both the local support that kept their spirits buoyed through a difficult time and the expert professionals who worked with them to construct a new home, one that responded to their needs even better than their former one had. The new house was built on the same footprint as the old one, but that's where the similarities end. A core team made up of Jason Aselin of JAD Design Group, interior designer Emily Shakra and Legacy Homes collaborated on a plan for a grand yet cozy house that literally rose like a phoenix from the ashes.

Where they would rebuild was never an issue. "We originally chose this location because of its convenient proximity to the highway and schools and its beautiful perch on top of a small hill in a quiet neighborhood," shares Surrinder, who was also happy with their former home's brick exterior, which matched the other homes in the neighborhood. Her husband, however, favored a more New-England look for the rebuild.
In the end, says Aselin, the Sandhus and he settled on a style he calls New England Craftsman colonial, which, in this case, pairs clapboard with stone—particularly stone bases on the columns and a stone veneer up to the window sills." It's a timeless look that contrasts with the neighborhood brick and complements it at the same time. Inside the home, Aselin's use of high-end interior millwork results in warm and intimate spaces, and Shakra, who became involved early on in the design-build process, incorporated built-ins in every room, like book shelves and window seats to create an ambience that is upscale but not so formal that it feels uncomfortable. Her approach, she says, "was to create a transitional vibe that was youthful and sophisticated, much like the homeowners themselves."
Aselin visited the site before the old house was demolished and recommended Legacy Homes. "We were amazed by the quality of Legacy Homes' beautiful designs and the wonderful sub-contractors they used," says Surrinder. A discussion between Aselin and the Sandhus revolved around important aspects of the rebuild, like the arrangement of rooms (six beds and eight baths) on three floors, including an open-concept finished basement level and the flow from room to room. Of critical concern was where to locate the spacious kitchen, which is open to an eating area for daily gathering and a family room. Other important aspects of the architectural design program were primary suites on both the main floor (for aging-in-place parents) and upper level (for Surrinder and Michael), and office space for Michael that was convenient yet separated from public spaces.
Aselin chose to locate the main gathering spaces to take best advantage of the sunlight, capturing as much of it as possible to give them a brighter space than what they previously had. The generous amount of glazing has the added benefit of bringing the outside in. "No matter where you are, you feel like you're connected to the outdoors," says Michael. "I love that aspect of the house."
Shakra shared this penchant for glass, and her suggestion to add even more windows to the hub area of the home—large ones, and some with transoms—was championed by all. The designer collaborated with Capital Kitchen and Bath on the beautiful and functional kitchen, where an expansive wall of drawers at the sink area and a generous island both mimic custom furniture pieces, and the commanding stove hood serves as the centerpiece of the space. Gray-veined Cambria "Brittanicca" quartz topping the island and used for the backsplash simulates the modern look of marble without the porous qualities of natural stone. "We were afraid marble would stain, as we use a lot of spices, like turmeric, in our cooking," says Surrinder.
Instead, marble abundantly graces the two primary bathrooms, which, says Shakra, she designed to be "luxurious without feeling sterile." In both rooms, 24-inch Calacatta marble tiles surround a slipper tub situated beneath a stunning chandelier—Waterford crystal in the first-floor setting and a modern Sputnik-style light on the second floor.
Shakra's love of color and pushing the envelope played well with the homeowner's leanings toward more neutral colors and a judicious use of glamour. "Emily helped us create a beautiful, transitional home with her creativity and flair for good design and color," says Surrinder. "She was an amazing resource in picking out fabrics, paint colors and wallpapers, and she introduced us to fresh perspectives that we had never thought of before."
The Sandhus had worked with Shakra on a refresh of their original home two years earlier, and they also admired her flair in their friends' homes. "We respected Emily's ability to make even the newest houses feel lived in, and how she could translate the homeowners' lifestyle into settings that layered in color and texture," says Surrinder, who also appreciated that the interior designer was "not bound to a single-design approach."
Throughout the home, a palette of gray paint shades in different gradations, from greige to pewter, create a neutral yet warm backdrop against which Shakra introduced accent colors like navy, dusty rose and coral along with a variety of textures in the upholstery and custom window treatments by J&R Langley. Much of the furniture is from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Century and Company C, three American-made brands that align with the stylistic goals for the transitional home. Original art, from Manchester's Art3 Gallery and some of it commissioned, offers a personal touch in many of the rooms.
As a team, Shakra and the homeowners made design decisions informed by getting to know one another, their personalities as well as their aesthetic preferences. The three of them visited the Boston Design Center together on several occasions and even traveled to North Carolina, home of some of the best and biggest furniture showrooms in the country. There, Shakra's professional connections, particularly at Furnitureland South, helped them streamline the process of selecting furnishings for the nearly 10,000-square-foot home. "I knew the Sandhus' style—classy, timeless, New England—and could easily point them in the right direction."
The orientation taken by the home's design is evident as soon as you step through the front door. "The large entryway sets the stage for what you'll see throughout the house," explains Shakra, noting that the scale and the color of the Moroccan tribal nomad carpet energizes the grand entry and pass-through. "All of the colors we used throughout the house are in that carpet," she says, adding that it's one of several in the home from Mir Sultan Oriental Rugs in Bedford. Two benches custom designed to fit under the long windows feature the work of local upholsterer and furniture designer Don Mavrikis.
On either side of the entryway sit the dining room and music room—spaces that exhibit restrained elegance before you get to the more relaxed kitchen and family room. "We wanted the dining room to be spectacular," says Shakra, who zeroed in on a Maya Romanoff wall covering of intricately hand-inlaid, micro-thin wood veneer geometric shapes that capture and reflect light beautifully. To give the quiet-hued room a pop of color, they selected a painting from Robin Reynolds, whose exuberantly hued plein-air paintings also appear elsewhere in the house.
On the other side of the entry, the smaller music room echoes the dining room's simple but upscale presence, with only a baby grand piano beneath a glimmering chandelier. The Sandhus' daughter, an accomplished pianist, plays here when she's home from college.
At the top of the main staircase, whose cladding of panels and molding give it a New England character, a cozy seating area beckons, its furnishings from Sherrill Furniture arranged on a contemporary abstract bamboo silk carpet from India and a commissioned Dana Boucher landscape painting. Similarly, the navy and white first-floor library is a comfortable retreat, with walls sheathed in gray Thibault grass cloth, Company C chairs and floor to ceiling built-in bookcases straddling a cushioned window seat, one of several in the house. Capital Kitchen and Bath built all of the home's bookcases and window seats.
In Michael's spacious office, Shakra wanted to surround the former merchant marine with things that were meaningful to him, like maritime memorabilia and artwork that references his love of sailing. Custom cabinetry houses file cabinets and a fax machine, leaving the rest of the room to be a sanctuary that's pleasing to the eye and sometimes doubles as a family gathering space to watch movies. But the favorite place for the family to come together and relax is in the ground-level space with its 150-inch projector screen and stylish bar designed by Shakra after one she saw in New York City.
"We were quite happy in our old house," says Michael of the 1980s-era abode they'd called home for 25 years. "We weren't looking to change things; we were thrown into it. We're fortunate that we connected with really good people and that they were so good throughout the whole process."

Enduring IED threat sees demand increase for Counter-IED Rollers
Undisclosed customers have placed orders with Pearson Engineering for Self-Protection and Route Proving Counter IED Rollers (C-IED). These rollers will be used by soldiers equipped with MRAPs and 8x8 Armoured Fighting Vehicles.
Following a review of Force Protection measures, Pearson Engineering customers have approved purchases of Self-Protection and Route Proving rollers in order to help mitigate the threat from pressure-fused explosives during operations in the Middle East and Africa.
The company expects similar orders to land in the coming months and years from other customers facing a similar threat.
A representative at Pearson Engineering said: "We are beginning to see an increase in the frequency of orders for Route Proving and Self-Protection Rollers, both new purchases and spares. Troops deployed on operations in both Africa and the Middle East continue to require protection from the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices – the threat is enduring and, in some places, evolving. The deployment of such Counter IED rollers with Armoured Fighting Vehicles and Protected Patrol Vehicles adds another layer of protection to those in harm's way."
Pearson Engineering has an impressive track record of delivering such products with more than 4,000 Self-Protection and Route Proving Rollers in service around the world, most of which served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pearson Engineering continues to invest in new technology to counter the explosive threat. In the past 24 months, the company has released the Route Proving and Clearance Multi-Tool as well as Threat-Pathway and Threat-Sense, a pair of products designed to positively identify and defeat conventional, surface laid munitions, such as SCATMIN and Air Delivered SCATMIN.

Q: i18n custom validation error handling In a rails 3.2.16 app form submission, error messages are not flowing i18n-ized to the view. Based on the following model definition
  validate :not_overlap

  def not_overlap
    errors.add(:start, 'message') if overlaps?
  end

I have not been able to insert the translation code helper
The following is the locale file:
  activerecord:
    models:
      optionrate: "Options"
    attributes:
      optionrate:
        start: "Start"
        end: "End"
    errors:
      models:
        optionrate:
          attributes:
            start:
              not_overlap: "Dates overlap existing options."
            end:
              not_overlap: "Dates overlap existing options"

I am also unsure about the
<% @optionrate.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %><%= msg %>

command and its i18n...
...which sort of makes 3 rabbits to run after

*

*how to invoke a translation message

*how to codify it properly in the locale file

*how to also handle the generic msg for i18n
I assume there is a hierarchy as to how these get processed.  Combined it is a geometrically-growing mess of alternatives.

What am I doing wrong?

A: I think the second argument to errors.add needs to be the symbol of the error message you're trying to add. So:
errors.add(:start, :not_overlap)

You've probably fixed this by now though!

Nigerian midfielder Mikel Obi is easily the country's most recognisable footballer at the moment, although majority of his countrymen will be surprised at just how little they know about him.
Generally referred to as John Obi Mikel, the Chelsea midfielder was actually born John Michael Nchekwube Obinna, but a mistake by the NFF, then NFA (Nigeria Football Association) in 2003 left us with the moniker we've come to associate the player with.
During the registration process for the 2003 Fifa Under-17 World Championships in Finland, the NFA had mistakenly submitted 'Michael' as 'Mikel'.
It turned out to be a disappointing tournament for Augustine Eguavoen and the lads as the Golden Eaglets exited at the group stage after a toss of coin. Mikel, however, was the shining light in the team and he's been ever-present since.
The former Lyn Oslo midfielder says the mistake had a "special ring to it," and on joining Chelsea in 2006 he maintained it, going by the name 'Mikel John Obi'.
The 29-year-old midfielder, who is presently with the Nigeria U23 team at the Rio Olympics, has now decided to officially change his full name to Mikel John Obi, Standard writes.
He remains one of the most successful Nigerian footballers having won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Europa League and four FA Cups at Stamford Bridge, as well as lifting the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in 2013.
Nigeria and Chelsea fans need not worry however, as he remains Mikel/10 and Mikel/12 for both sides respectively.Nigeria and Chelsea fans need not worry however, as he remains Mikel/10 and Mikel/12 for both sides respectively.

I wonder what he must have thought when long ago that night They came and knocked upon his door, a travel-wearied sight.
"We've journeyed far across the land, just as the law required. So do you have a place for us?" they earnestly inquired.
"My house is small," he might have said, "and every spot is taken. You've come too late–please go before my children you awaken.
And then he saw her anxious eyes, her cloak all smudged with earth, Yet bulging with the signs of one who was to soon give birth.
"Perhaps," he said, "there is one place to come in from the cold. It's not a room, it's just a barn, with musty smells of old.
And so it was that in that keep and on that very night The Savior of the world was born to bring to all the light.
For like the master of that house we think our lives are full. But then one day He'll come to us, in gentleness to rule.
I wonder what we'll think that day, I wonder what we'll say When Jesus knocks upon our door and asks if He may stay.
Beautiful. it makes one think.

We moved our kids to twin beds while they were still young (2.5 and 4.5) and it was so nice to know they were sleeping on the same easy to clean mattresses as they did when in their toddler beds. They are still the age of accidents and getting sick in bed and there is nothing like being able to wipe these down and have them sleeping again on fresh sheets. We have been using this company since our first was born in 2013 and these are now the 5th and 6th mattresses we've bought. In addition to ease of cleaning for us there have been no issues as we moved from cribs to toddler to twin because to them it feels the same. Love Love Love!

The Church Has Left the Building
September 11, 2017 vitalpiety
Matthew 9: 35—10: 14 (CEB)
Jesus traveled among all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, announcing the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. 36 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, "The size of the harvest is bigger than you can imagine, but there are few workers. 38Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest."
He called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to throw them out and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2Here are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee; and John his brother; 3Philip; and Bartholomew; Thomas; and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean; and Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
5Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, "Don't go among the Gentiles or into a Samaritan city. 6Go instead to the lost sheep, the people of Israel. 7As you go, make this announcement: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, and throw out demons. You received without having to pay. Therefore, give without demanding payment. 9Workers deserve to be fed, so don't gather gold or silver or copper coins for your money belts to take on your trips. 10Don't take a backpack for the road or two shirts or sandals or a walking stick. 11Whatever city or village you go into, find somebody in it who is worthy and stay there until you go on your way. 12When you go into a house, say, 'Peace!' 13If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if the house isn't worthy, take back your blessing. 14If anyone refuses to welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or city.
Her name is Amanda. I met Amanda almost exactly 10 years ago. I was transitioning into the role of Minister of Youth and Young Adults at First-Centenary UMC, downtown, as she was transitioning out of her role as Director of Youth. She was on her way to seminary at Duke. She received her Master of Divinity, was later ordained an elder, and has served various churches in both East Tennessee and North Carolina. In 2014, she was married to Justin, and in early December of 2016, they welcomed their first child, a son named Owen. On March 5, thinking their lethargic baby might have the flu, Amanda and Justin took Owen to the ER, only to learn that their three-month old baby had a massive tumor in his brain. Further tests and scans revealed that Owen's cancer was rare and extremely aggressive. Within a few weeks, they were at St. Jude in Memphis where Owen was put in a trial treatment. It didn't work. They were sent home in mid-May, and Owen was placed under hospice care.
But Owen was a fighter, and when he seemed to be doing a bit better about a week later, Amanda, Justin, and Owen returned to St. Jude, where they learned that Owen's tumor had shrunk slightly. He received a round of chemo, and the young family headed off for some vacation time with family. While they were at the beach, however, Owen took a turn. A visit to the local ER revealed a massive brain bleed. Owen and Amanda were airlifted to Duke, where they learned the terrible news that Owen's cancer had grown and spread into his spinal cord. The chemo wasn't working. Last week, they returned home once again. Owen died this past Tuesday morning. Family and friends gathered on Friday evening to celebrate the life of this precious little baby. I cannot imagine the grief that Amanda and Justin are experiencing right now. They must feel so troubled and helpless.
Her name is Jasmine. I met Jasmine about five years ago through Family Promise. I sat around a table one night eating pizza with Jasmine and her four children, who hung close to this young widow. Her husband had been killed, an innocent caught in the crossfire of dangerous gang violence. She was left alone with her kids and a job that paid too little. Soon after she lost her husband, she lost her home. She bounced around from couch to couch for a while, but with four little ones, it's easy to outstay your welcome. Though some nights were spent huddled in their dilapidated car, Jasmine managed to piece together makeshift meals and sleeping pallets until her broken family was received by Family Promise. She wouldn't tell me how she managed to get the food they needed in those volatile months; she was too ashamed. She had been in Family Promise with her kids about a month when I talked with her, and though she was working on finding a better paying job and a suitable place to live with her children, she kept running up against dead-ends. Hope was waning. Jasmine was feeling troubled and helpless.
His name is Chris. Most of you have heard Chris' story, but I don't mind sharing it with you again because it has been instrumental in shaping my call to ministry. I first met Chris in 1999. I was interning with the youth group at Fountain City United Methodist in Knoxville. Chris had grown up in that church. He was active in the youth group, and as a young man, he sang in the choir and volunteered as a youth counselor. By the time I came on the scene, Chris had been working with the youth of that church for almost a decade. He chaperoned mission trips, retreats, and choir tours. He planned ski trips. He prepared an annual slide show filled with pictures, and memories, and great music. He loved serving God by serving the youth of this church, and it showed; he touched hundreds of young lives.
Then one day, the pastor told Chris his services were not needed anymore; that he was not to work with the youth any longer. It was devastating to Chris. He left the pastor's office, gathered his things, and walked out of the church, never to return. The church that he had loved and served for his entire life kicked him out. The place where Chris had learned of and accepted the saving love of Christ turned on him for no good reason, and it hurt Chris enough that he never returned—to any church. Though he still professed faith, I will tell you that it is hard to live and practice faith when you are not connected to a faith community. He was angry and hurt; it remained for him a source of sadness and angst. My friend Chris died the Sunday before Thanksgiving this past year. He was only 46. He had not been reconciled to his church. He still doubted the love of Christ in his life because for one brief moment in time, the one place that was supposed to exemplify that love was judgmental instead. For 14 years, expelled and separated from Christ's church, Chris was troubled and helpless.
It's amazing to think that Christ knows every hair on our head, that Christ knows the heart of every single person, and that Christ has compassion on all. I am one out of over 7billion. I have barely left the Southeast United States, and yet I know so many whose lives are troubled and helpless. For Christ to know them all, US all, is nearly unfathomable; yet he does. And it is this knowing that we encounter in our reading from Matthew this morning. In the midst of his healing, teaching, and saving ministry, Jesus pauses for a moment of reflection with his disciples.. He thinks about all the people he has encountered along the way. He looks around at the great throngs of people who are flocking to him for help and salvation. And Jesus sees around him Amanda and Justin, Jasmine, and Chris. He sees these people who are troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. And what is most striking is how Christ reacts, because immediately, Jesus has two very strong and important reactions.
First, Jesus has compassion on the people. In fact, Christ's reaction is so immediate that it seems instinctive. Now, I don't know what our immediate reaction is when we are dealing with people who are "down on their luck," troubled, helpless, and so on. But I'm pretty sure, for myself at least, that most of the time my instinctive reaction is not compassion. It might be pity, or annoyance, or judgment; but I have to be honest in saying I think it's probably only on rare occasions that I go straight to compassion. And yet, this is precisely what Jesus does; he has compassion on all the people around him.
Then, it's as if Jesus recognizes the magnitude of the task before him. Because just after we are told that Jesus had compassion on the people around him, Jesus says to his disciples, "The size of the harvest is bigger than you can imagine, but there are few workers. Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest." In other words, Jesus sees the pain and hurt that surrounds him; he senses the disease and trouble; he understands the overwhelming sense of helplessness, and he realizes it's more than he can address all on his own. Christ knows that he needs the support of his disciples, each one working in their own little corner of the world, to offer compassion and hope to the troubled and helpless.
And so Jesus not only tells his disciples to pray for laborers for the harvest, he actually commissions them to go out and to BE those laborers. Then, so that they are fully prepared for the monumental task that is before them, Jesus not only gives them specific instructions, but he also endows them with the SAME AUTHORITY by which he, himself, has been ministering to the troubled and helpless and shepherding the lost sheep.
We often think of the disciples as simply the twelve men Jesus called to follow him. But we need to understand that we are Christ's disciples, too. We, too, share in this same commission and calling. We, too, are sent out into the world with this same authority and these same instructions. And friends, there are so many who are troubled and helpless, so many lost sheep, that there is no time to waste, not even on those who won't receive our message and our support!
There is so much work to be done. But let me share with you one final thought about the task before us. One of the things that strikes me about this passage is Jesus' specific instruction not to go among the Samaritans or Gentiles, but instead to go straight to the "lost sheep, the people of Israel." Of course, we know that the announcement of God's kingdom is for all people in all times and places, so why, in this first sending of the disciples, does Christ instruct them to go to their fellow Jews, the lost sheep of Israel? When I think of people like Amanda and Justin, and like Chris, I begin to understand the logic behind Christ's instruction. There are these people of faith; people who have known and experienced the love of God, who yet hit these "bumps in the road;" who find themselves in life troubled and helpless, lost and hopeless. How much greater is their testimony because in the midst of their troubles, they experienced the compassion of Christ? How much greater is their story because the love of God strengthened them in their weakness. And then…how much better can they relate to others in the same sorts of circumstances? How much more can they share the compassion and love of Christ with people experiencing the same suffering in their own lives?
The harvest is plentiful, friends. We live in a broken, hurting, troubled, helpless, and lost world, but we can't harvest from inside a building. We have to go out there to do the work of the Lord. So go first with compassion. And secondly, know this: you go with the same power and authority as Christ himself. And most importantly, you go with your own story; a story of how Christ had compassion on you and lifted you out of trouble and distress, and a story of how Christ can do the same very every lost sheep.

Anti-vaping policies, video aims to educate
by Ava Hardin, VOW staff|Jan 19, 2023

ATTACK THE PROBLEM. The new push to catch and punish students who vape on campus hopes to help students make smarter decisions when it comes to vaping.
Students travel the halls with clouded minds and clouds of smoke littering their educational setting. All classes watch a video created by student in the WHS LIVE program on Jan. 5 in Wildkat Way. The video, first released in December to students via email, includes student responses to vaping-related questions.
Students who saw the video are keen on pointing out the ineffective nature of the anti-vaping advocacy.
"I think the video had predictable answers, but it showed that admin is recognizing that there is a problem with vaping on campus," senior Addison Williams said. "I don't think it necessarily did anything to prevent it from happening more often, but it might be able to make a small change later on. It just won't be as big of a change as the administration is hoping for."
Vaping is an issue affecting a wide range of students across the campus, and even those who were involved in the video have more to add to the conversation.
"Vaping can damage and shrink your lungs as well as form plaque around your heart and it causes acne," junior Madalyn Fogleman said. "I think students are well aware of the consequences and they just don't care. They have autonomy over their body and what they choose to ingest, but we can try to give them resources and information to make them stop doing it."
Students involved in the video weren't too fond of the production and feel like the administration's efforts will be fruitless moving forward.
"I really only did it because of peer pressure, and it made me kind of embarrassed," junior Sierra Wolf said. "I feel like this is just going to be another thing that gets swept under the rug, like we'll talk about it for a week and move on."
Despite this, faculty who were involved in the production have high hopes for the future of the school in the face of this vaping epidemic.
"I think the video had a positive impact and that it made a lot of students aware of the consequences that come along with vaping," media technology teacher Jonathan Evans said. "I'm not saying I know for a fact that administration involvement will save all students, but if you can get through to one or two then it's done its job."

Guns, Cronies and Crops
New Global Witness exposé: how Myanmar's business, political and military cronies conspired to grab farmers' land, leaving communities struggling to survive.
中文 Tweet Share Land Myanmar DONATE
As Myanmar's junta prepared to step down from government, the military set about seizing public assets and natural resources to ensure its economic control in a new era of democratic rule.
Guns, Cronies and Crops details the collusion at the heart of operations carried out by Myanmar's armed forces in northeastern Shan State. Large swathes of land were taken from farming communities in the mid-2000s and handed to companies and political associates to develop rubber plantations.
Our investigation reveals those involved, including Myanmar's current Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, U Myint Hlaing, the country's ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party, and Sein Wut Hmon, a rubber company which collaborated with the former military junta to gain control of land.
These revelations come as Myanmar's government finalises the drafting of a national land policy, the country's first.
Watch the film in Burmese here
The report documents the toxic legacy of these land grabs on an already marginalised ethnic-minority population, for whom little has changed since the country's much-lauded transition to civil democracy in 2011. Villagers told Global Witness that they had received no compensation and are struggling to earn a living and feed their families without land to grow food.
What we've seen in Myanmar's land sector is a transition from military rule to a form of gangster capitalism. In many cases the army has merely swapped its uniforms for suits, with military officials and their cronies retaining firm control of the country's land sector. - Josie Cohen, Land Campaigner for Global Witness.
By 2013, 5.3 million acres of land - 35 times the size of Myanmar's capital Yangon - had been leased to investors for agriculture. More than a quarter of this total is now covered by rubber plantations.
Rubber plantations investigated by Global Witness, including Sein Wut Hmon's land holdings.

As Myanmar's land is put up for sale after decades of trade sanctions, Global Witness is warning that foreign money risks fuelling human rights violations and playing into the hands of the former dictatorship.
The country's new land policy and subsequent land law present a major opportunity to secure a more equitable future for the country's citizens, and put an end to the land grabs that are blighting the country's reform effort.
In February 2015, Global Witness wrote to Sein Wut Hmon's owner and director, U Maung Myint, asking for comment. In his response, U Maung Myint dismissed information given to Global Witness as hearsay, denied that the company had used military connections to acquire villagers' land and insisted that it had consulted with local people and provided jobs and development. Global Witness also attempted to contact the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, U Myint Hlaing, and all other groups and individuals named in Guns, Cronies and Crops. None of them responded.

What Future for Rubber Production in Myanmar?
Myanmar is the latest target for the rubber industry, but instead of the government promoting much-needed investment in small-holder rubber farmers, private companies have been given priority to buy up large swathes of land for plantations.

The global rush for rubber: is Myanmar the 'final frontier'?
Myanmar's dictatorship may have been ousted, but its corruption remains entrenched and deals over land are particularly opaque. This is raising concerns that rubber might become Myanmar's modern resource curse.

Arroyo Roble in Uptown Sedona for numerous years.
optimism and her ability to always see the good in life.
Davey-Woodson; and numerous nieces and nephews.
2098 S. Pearl Drive, Camp Verde, Arizona, 86322 on Saturday, Sept. 22.


Now, where shall I start with this twisted tale?
No one really knows where Dr A.L.Cavendisd-Pimms came from. The young Robby Murdoch recalls an Abigail Cavendish-Pimss who was a close friend of Lord and Lady Murdoch and their family physician.
Robby laughs. I remember her having very cold hands during a "cough-n-drop" examination, but we won't dwell on that!
What I know is that Dr Abigail Cavendish-Pims was a woman of ample charms who ran a very, and I mean very, profitable medical practice in the back streets of Covent Garden.
Dr Abigail ran a no questions asked, no nonsense "kill or cure" practice for the Discerning Gentleman needing discretion for acquired ailments (a nod's as good as a wink as they say).
During lean times Dr Abigail realised that she could save a bob or two by making her own sedative from equal parts of Absinthe and Laudanum which would not only sedate a gentleman but would also give him what she called "Absinthe of mind". Some say it was a very useful mixture for lightening the wallet.
On one such occasion, a gentleman, on a return visit accused Dr Abigail of short-changing him for the last treatment.
In a very low and suggestive voice Dr Abigail whispered into the gentleman's ear, "Tell you what sir. Why don't I toss you for it?"
The gentleman's eyes twinkled, and, as he smiled, she whipped out his PURSE! and quick as a flash removed a shiny guinea. "Heads you pay double, and tails," she said with a gentle squeeze of his leg, "its free".
Without waiting for an answer, she tossed his guinea. Perplexed by his understanding of the afore mentioned deal, he missed Dr Abigail's slight of hand, as she had switched the coin for her lucky double-headed coin.
"Heads it is, sir'' she laughed. And with that she administered a large dose of her special elixir in her favorite veterinarian hypo-dermic syringe.
Needless to say, the gentleman left with a smile on his face, a feeling of floating on air and smug in the thought that he had not paid for something, and he would be right.
Dr Abigail had not charged him for the bulldog clip attached to his appendage that would only reveal itself when the elixir had worn off and his screams would be heard clear across to Holborn Viaduct.
This "Elixir" was so good that Dr Abigail had taken to sneaking a nip or two at bedtime, just for medicinal purposes mind! However, she had noted feeling slightly worse for wear and awaking fully dressed in her riding gear and clutching a large brass weapon. Dr Abigail didn't make much of it and life in general was good and prosperous.
"What's it about? My dear girl, where have you been?" exclaims Nikolai.
"Well I've been so busy with the practice, I've not read a paper in weeks," Dr Abigail replies. "Its slipped me by, please do tell."
"Well, it's like this. There is this lady vigilante stalking the streets at night with a large brass fluid suction weapon. She is praying on gentlemen of ill repute. Some say they deserve it."
"What's happening to them?" Dr Abigail asked feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Well, it's the juice of a thing. They appear to be left as skin and bone with all their juices and organs removed, with a signature off a vile green elixir poured all over them. it's totally morbid. That's where they got the name don't ya know"!
"Morbid Elixir - the gentlemen fixer."
"OH! This is terrible", exclaims Dr Abigail. "Change the subject. I can't listen to any more".
"Anyway, how is your business going," she asked Nikolai.
"Do you know, its the darndest of things. We have introduced a couple of new lines of confectionary. We have been getting a nightly delivery of freshly butchered items from an unknown supplier. The Moroccan sweet breads are delicious and the savory brawn in lime jelly is particularly good. The supplier is a master at it, we can't sell enough. It would be a bugger if we lost the supplier now. I would have to go back to shrinking aliens," he laughed.
Dr Abigail feeling slightly flushed, suddenly excused herself and raced home with more than the price of half a pound of fresh brawn on her mind.
Distraught and fearing the worst, she suddenly saw the large brass Vapor Rail Cartridge Lance set to liquid extraction on the bedside locker.
Dr Abigail hastily packed her suitcase and set off into the night to get help from her old friend Cpt Rob.
On arrival at Robby's residence she was ushered into his study by Sparky Carter who by now had been promoted to Rob's batman.
Now this was maybe not the place to leave her. On the other hand maybe it was. This was the room where Cpt Rob kept the Tele-krono Transportator Mk3.
Dr Abigail had seen Cpt Rob twiddle with his knob on the chair before. She realised that his was her way out. Now we all know that nothing ever good came from twiddling with another man's knobs and knockers, let alone those on a time machine.
To this day no one knows what setting she hit, but with a blinding pulse she was gone. Cpt Rob arrived home to find his chair warm and Dr Abigail's hat on the seat. She was gone, totally gone, and not just over there.
The tabloid headlines ceased and "Morbid Elixir" became a myth.
Meanwhile, many years later on the other side of the world, near the Light side of the Mount, a small group of like-minded artists were researching an exhibition of an unusual kind, when they came across a 1919 copy of "VITALOGY - Encyclopedia of Health and Home". On the inside cover was a hand written description: "To Absinthe Laudanum Cavendish-Pimms on her graduation. Love from us all here at the Abattoir de Parisienne".
Further investigation tracked her down to the Bethlehem area in the district of Tauranga.
It was found that she had made a career selling "Cavendish-Pims Elixir of Life" a bright green liquor, with claims of curing most ailments, starting a BBQ or stripping the scale from your Ma's teapot.
When asking the local community if they remembered the lady, they all recounted with warm affection the good lady doctor with ample charms and a charitable nature, inviting waifs and strays along to her annual Christmas BBQ with lashings of "special punch" skewered Morrocan meat balls and a rather savory meatloaf. All her own recipes.
It was noted that there was next-to-no crime in this area and villains would "disappear" before they became an issue.
Dr Absinthe Laudanum Cavendish-Pimms found a husband on her travels, and settled down to a blissful life in the Antipodes.

Q: How read Japanese fields from CSV file into java beans? I've tried several popular CSV to java deserializers - OpenCSV, JSefa, and Smooks - none correctly read the file:
First Name,Last Name
エリック,山中
花子,鈴木
一郎,鈴木
裕子,田中
政治,山村

into my java object collection.
OpenCsv code:
    HeaderColumnNameTranslateMappingStrategy<Contact> strat = new HeaderColumnNameTranslateMappingStrategy<Contact>();
    strat.setType(Contact.class);
    strat.setColumnMapping(colNameTranslateMap);
    InputStreamReader fileReader=null;
    CsvToBean<Contact> csv = new CsvToBean<Contact>();
    fileReader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), "UTF-8");

    contacts = csv.parse(strat, new CSVReader(fileReader));

I've tried setting the Charset to UTF-8, UTF-16 and ISO-8859-1 when I create the FileInputStream, but the collection is never populated properly. As seen in the debugger and System.out the fields contain garbage and often the number of records is wrong.

A: *

*FileInputStream is for reading streams of binary data, like an mp3 or PNG. Instead of a FIS, use a FileReader for reading streams of characters.

*To be blunt: who cares what charsets you tried using if they didn't work? You need to figure out what encoding the CSV file is actually using, and set that encoding when reading the file. To specify the encoding when using a FileReader:

The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are appropriate. To specify these values yourself, construct an InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream.

This week I paid a storm trooper $250 to entertain 11 small boys. It may be the best $250 I have ever spent.
My youngest son turned 5 and to celebrate, he had his first ever birthday party. He's my third child. Anyone with more than two will understand.
It's not that we've IGNORED his other birthdays. I dimly recall some balloons when he turned one and a rug in the garden. And last year, he had three friends over after kindy and they all ran around the garden for an hour waving swords.
But this year, I had to step it up a bit. Poor kid. His older brother and sister had all manner of parties by the time they turned five. From those mobile zoos that come and set up in your garden to fairies and Disney characters.
I've always been a fan of out-sourcing the entertainment. Because I swear to God, time stands still during your child's birthday party.
You look at your watch thinking, "OK, I reckon there's only half an hour to go" and then you see the birthday party only started 25 minutes ago and you lose the will to live.
Hiring someone to come and entertain the kids for an hour or so is an idea that only started to become popular in the past decade. Before that, it was all DIY pass-the-parcel and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey followed by musical statues and a Mintie hunt.
Chances are you will be flooded with happy memories after reading that last sentence, instantly transported back to your own childhood and birthday parties you had or attended. But I bet your parents would not be flooded with similar memories recalling your parties. It's a bit like how great Christmas was when you were a kid and you just had to turn up and open presents. As opposed to now when you have to oraganise the whole thing plus maintain civilised small-talk with other parents you barely know.
So. I knew I needed outside help. For my son's birthday party, we did a Google search, found ourselves on the Kapow Parties website and had a blast scrolling through all the character options. Superman, Batman, Buzz Lightyear, Luke Skywalker, pirates, transformers, power rangers and mutant ninja turtles.
We chose a Storm Trooper – despite my cautionary warning that some of the kids might be scared. My son would not be swayed.
So I booked the Storm Trooper via email and at the appointed time, he turned up in full costume carrying a stereo playing the Star Wars theme song and a bag full of games. The next 90 minutes were a dream.
As anyone who has ever thrown a kids' party will know, even when you specify "DROP OFF" which I may or may not have done in capital letters in the texts I sent to the parents the week before (3rd child, did I mention that?) you still end up hosting a parallel party for adults.
This time, it was mostly relatives but there's an inescapable amount of chat and tea-making that you must do.
If you don't have an entertainer or someone completely focused on the kids, things can quickly get out of control as you try to run your parallel parties.
But apparently, there's been a movement away from out-sourcing kids' birthday parties by hiring entertainers in favour of a massive DIY push as parents (i.e. mothers) try to out-do each other with fancy shmancy home-made invites, food, decorations and games.
A new study in the Journal of Consumer Culture has revealed parents (ie mothers) are suffering from severe DIY party stress.
"Mothers shoulder most of the burden of orchestrating these events," explained the study's co-author, Jan Brace-Govan, a senior lecture in the department of marketing at Monash University. Well duh.
The point, she underscores, is that you have to personally enjoy doing these projects for your friends and family. And you can't feel parenting shame if you're just not someone who likes making your own party hats or has the time for butterfly placeholders.
So I'm going to put up my hand. I am NOT a mother who derives joy from making paper anything. And my kids wouldn't notice even if I did. And I feel no shame either. Not anymore (3rd child etc). I loved my Storm Trooper. I never wanted him to leave. If you're a DIY person who actually enjoys the process (like iVillage's editor Alana House) then go for your life. And may the force be with you.
Do you go all out when you organise a birthday party or are you anti-DIY like me?

Los calamares en su tinta (también conocido como chipirones en su tinta) son un plato elaborado con pequeños trozos de calamares (incluidos los tentáculos) cocinados en su propia tinta. Por regla general este plato requiere tiempo para poder ser elaborado y por eso, en España, es frecuente encontrarlo en conserva disponible en cualquier supermercado.

Características
La receta se elabora con calamares rehogados a la sartén en una mezcla de diversas verduras.  La añadidura de la tinta del calamar le confiere su color negro característico. A la hora de servir suele acompañarse de arroz (arroz con calamares en su tinta) o patatas fritas y la salsa negra suele elaborarse ligeramente, no necesariamente, con picante para que sea posible realzar los sabores del conjunto. Puede encontrarse a veces como aperitivo. La variante en conserva que se ofrece en lata suele estar sumergido en abundante aceite de oliva.

Otra receta muy sencilla: Comprar los calamares grandes (siempre frescos con sus tintas), limpiarlos bien sacando su tinta sin que se rompan, reservar las tintas, cortarlos en trozos de aproximadamente 2x2 cm.. Cocer en una olla los calamares con agua (cubrirlos) y una pizca de sal. Una vez cocidos escurrir reservando el agua de la cocción. Rehogar en una cazuela con un poco de aceite de oliva, cebolla, ajo, perejil, pimentón, cuando esté todo pochado, añadir un vaso del agua de la cocción y/o un vaso de vino blanco, con las tintas disueltas en el mismo y dejar hervir hasta que la cebolla esté bien blanda, añadir agua de la cocción si se necesita. Seguidamente para que espese un poco la salsa se añaden una o dos rebanadas de pan tostado (biscote) o una cucharada de harina y se deja hervir otro rato, triturar con un el chino encima de los calamares que los tenemos ya escurridos en una cazuela de barro y se deja todo junto a fuego lento 15 minutos.

Kate Garraway steps in to apologise after Good Morning Britain guest swears live on air
The GMB host stepped in after a guest said "taking the p***" live on Wednesday's show
Rebecca Shepherd
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has been forced to apologise after a guest swore live on air.
The journalist and broadcaster was joined by Dr Rob Drummond and actress Harriet Thorpe who were discussing whether or not it's offensive to mimic a foreign accent, after an Italian restaurant owner took to social media to shame diners who mock his accent.
During Wednesday's show, Dr Rob argued accents are often mimicked to portray someone negatively, rather than positively.
Harriet disagreed and said taking on different accents can be essential to some storylines, like in the comedy Faulty Towers – which is when she accidentally turned the air blue.

Harriet said: "We shouldn't be racist, we shouldn't be homophobic, we shouldn't be antisemitic, we shouldn't be anti-muslim and mimic and mock people, absolutely not.
"But when you are expressing something and not only in Faulty Towers, he is taking the p*** out of himself, as the terrible owner of this horrific hotel.
"He also speaks in a certain way that we laugh at. It isn't taking the mickey out of somebody, it's creating a story and that's what we do."
Kate, 53, then interrupted: "We should apologise in case somebody didn't like your way of describing, you know, 'joking', in that way."

This isn't the first time Kate has had to apologise after an unfortunate blunder live on air.
Earlier this year in April 2021, the presenter told Good Morning Britain viewers that she would be interviewing the late Nikki Grahame during the show.
Nikki, who rose to fame on the hit reality TV programme Big Brother, tragically passed away just days before on April 10 at the age of 38 after a battle with anorexia which lasted over three decades.
Kate and co-host Adil Ray, 46, were joined by Nikki's Big Brother co-star and ex-boyfriend Pete Bennett on the hit ITV breakfast show, but Kate mistakenly said they would be speaking to Nikki herself.

The episode of the news show started with a technical glitch as images of Prince Philip, who died on the same day as Nikki, were shown instead of clips of the reality star.
Adil apologised: "Good morning, erm… a bit of a mix-up with the pictures there.
"We will be paying tribute to Nikki Grahame as well later," he said turning to Kate. "I know you mentioned it yesterday."
Kate then said: "We will be talking to Nikki Grahame as well," before quickly adding: "And we've got one of her best friends Pete who, of course, she dated didn't she in Big Brother."
Viewers picked up on the mishap, with one taking to Twitter to write: "Kate Garraway just announced she'll be talking to Nikki Grahame later!!"

A thrilling, inviting and challenging board casino game, backgammon improves players' mental skills and teaches them to be strategic. In this board game, tactics and strategies are important to players' success. It is also necessary that players are diligent and patient in studying the different mechanics of backgammon since its rules are more complicated than other board games.
One of the elements of backgammon that players should know before playing it in formal set-ups is pip counting. Pip counting enables players to assess and predict their wining chances in the game. In addition, it is also advantageous to them if they know the effective methods in pip counting. To guide novices who want to excel in backgammon, this article discusses the basic pip counting methods.
The center point block method is the most common pip counting method that backgammon players use. However, this method is only suitable in circumstances when players have a block that contains particular numbers of checkers. For example, if a player has a block that comprises six checkers that occupy three-point, four-point acts as the middle point in this case. Hence, by multiplying the middle point with the number of checkers in three-point block, players can get the actual pip count.
By using this method, players can assess their advantages over other players. To successfully employ this method, players need to compare the number of their pips with the number of the pips of their opponents. Players commonly use the comparison method in long-drawn online backgammon games use this method to determine who have more chances of winning.
To do this pip counting method, players need to determine the number of points both players' checkers occupy. Afterwards they need to subtract the number of checkers that they have on their home board with the number of opposing checkers in the other side of the board. As soon as players get the difference between the numbers of players' checkers in home boards, they have to multiply it with the point gap the checkers occupy. Lastly, it is important to tabulate all results you computed to get the exact pip count gap.
Understanding the center point block method and the comparison method allows players to assess their edges in the game. These methods also help players prepare for end games and predict their odds. By effectively using these methods, it is possible that players employ strong strategies in the game that will help them beat their opponents.

Video shows Al Sharpton negotiating +10kg COKE deal with undercover FBI agent
July 31, 2019 by IWB
A1983 video obtained by HBO shows race baiter Al Sharpton working a coke deal with an undercover FBI agent. This deal may b e the reason why Sharpton was flipped and turned into a CI.
Work as FBI informant
Sharpton said in 1988 that he informed for the government in order to stem the flow of crack cocaine into black neighborhoods. He denied informing on civil rights leaders.
In 2002, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel aired a 19-year-old FBI videotape of an undercover sting operation showing Sharpton with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Latin American businessman and a reputed Colombo crime family captain. During the discussion, the undercover agent offered Sharpton a 10% commission for arranging drug sales. On the videotape, Sharpton mostly nods and allows the FBI agent to do most of the talking. No drug deal was ever consummated, and no charges were brought against Sharpton as a result of the tape.
READ VIDEO: Ron Paul Warns of the Incoming 'Great Reset
In April 2014, The Smoking Gun obtained documents indicating that Sharpton became an FBI informant in 1983 following Sharpton's role in a drug sting involving Colombo crime family captain Michael Franzese. Sharpton allegedly recorded incriminating conversations with Genovese and Gambino family mobsters, contributing to the indictments of several underworld figures. Sharpton is referred to in FBI documents as "CI-7."
Summarizing the evidence supporting that Sharpton was an active FBI informant in the 1980s, William Bastone, the Smoking Gun's founder, stated: "If he (Sharpton) didn't think he was an informant, the 'Genovese squad' of the FBI and NYPD officials sure knew him to be an informant. He was paid to be an informant, he carried a briefcase with a recording device in it, and he made surreptitious tape recordings of a Gambino crime family member 10 separate times as an informant. He did it at the direction of the FBI, he was prepped by the FBI, was handed the briefcase by the FBI and was debriefed after the meetings. That's an informant."[114] Sharpton disputes portions of the allegations.

Sharpton is alleged to have secretly recorded conversations with black activists in the 1980s regarding Joanne Chesimard (Assata Shakur) and other underground black militants. Veteran activist Ahmed Obafemi told the New York Daily News that he had long suspected Sharpton of taping him with the bugged briefcase.

Objective Compared with 3D-planned pelvic radiation, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been shown to reduce acute toxicity in cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy. This study evaluated late toxicity and patterns of failure after post-operative pelvic IMRT interdigitated weekly with high dose rate brachytherapy.
Methods This retrospective study included 53 cervical cancer patients treated between January 2006 and August 2019 with radical hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy, and post-operative IMRT and high dose rate brachytherapy. The decision to include chemotherapy was made by the treating gynecologic oncologist based on patient-specific criteria including positive pelvic lymph nodes, positive surgical margins, or positive parametrial invasion. The actuarial rates of genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity, vaginal cuff/regional nodal/distant failure, and overall survival were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method.
Results Median follow-up was 70 months (range 5.4–148) months and age at diagnosis was 47 (range 24–73) years. The 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) clinical stages were IB1 (n=19), IB2 (n=7), IIB (n=7), IIIC1 (n=19), and IIIC2 (n=1). Median radiation dose delivered in 160 cGy daily fractions was 5120 (range 4640–5120) cGy. Median brachytherapy dose prescribed to the vaginal surface delivered in six weekly fractions was 2400 (range 1200–4800) cGy. Concurrent chemotherapy was delivered in 35 (66%) patients. There were no acute grade >3 genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicities. Late grade >3 occurred in two (3.8%) patients, including a small bowel obstruction and a ureteral stricture. The 5-year actuarial rate for gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicity was 1.9%. There were no vaginal cuff recurrences. The 5-year actuarial rates for regional nodal failure, distant failure outside the radiation field, any failure, and overall survival were 11%, 11%, 14%, and 85%, respectively.
Conclusions Post-operative IMRT with high dose rate brachytherapy for patients with cervical cancer is associated with excellent outcomes and limited rates of radiation-related non-hematologic toxicity.

Q: Object reference I have a situation programming for the iPhone.  I have an Object (object A) that contains another Object (object B). Is there a way to reference object A from Object B? If so, how would I do it?

A: No.  Object B needs to have its own pointer to Object A.

A: You can have the classes reference each other like this:
ClassA.h:
@class ClassB // let the compiler know that there is a class named "ClassB"

@interface ClassA : NSObject {
    ClassB *objectB;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) ClassB *objectB;

@end

ClassB.h:
@class ClassA; // let the compiler know that there is a class named "ClassA"

@interface ClassB : NSObject {
    ClassA *objectA;
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) ClassA *objectA; // "child" object should not retain its "parent"

@end

ClassA.m:
#import "ClassA.h"
#import "ClassB.h"

@implementation ClassA

@synthesize objectB;

- (id)init {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        objectB = [[ClassB alloc] init];
        objectB.objectA = self;
    }

    return self;
}

@end

ClassB.m:
#import "ClassA.h"
#import "ClassB.h"

@implementation ClassB;

@synthesize objectA;

- (id)init {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        // no need to set objectA here
    }

    return self;
}

Wednesday, September 13th
From the Tennova Healthcare Cleveland News Desk, here is your news for Wednesday, September 13th, on Mix 104-1 and Talk 101-3 The Buzz.
From WRCB Channel 3…
For the third time in two weeks, emergency shelters were activated inside the Wacker Plant in Charleston. On Tuesday, crews discovered an elevated level of chemicals left over from last week's explosion in the plant. Last week,an explosion at Wacker sent 12 people to the hospital. In August, five employees were transported for observations due to a gas leak.
Wacker employees said the community and its employees were never in any danger, but people living nearby the plant said they are terrified.
Around lunch time you could hear sirens blaring on the Wacker property. People who live nearby are on edge after hearing these sirens twice in one week, they want a clear community emergency plan.
A Wacker spokesperson said the community was never at any risk and no chemicals were released. Crews were inside the plant working to fix a problem caused by last week's explosion when left over chemicals activated the alarms. Employees were asked to shelter in place as a precautionary measure.
County officials said their county alert system can help in a serious situation. It was not activated Tuesday but it was used last week. They are urging residents to sign up.
From the Chattanoogan…
The 10th Judicial District Drug Task Force and the Cleveland Police Department conducted a joint operation in Cleveland. As a result of this operation, agents seized approximately 50 grams of heroin with a street value of $20,000. Agents also arrested five subjects directly involved with transporting heroin from Detroit, Michigan and distributing the heroin in Cleveland, TN.
The following people were arrested in connection with this operation: Joseph Pike of Charleston; Demondrae Smith of Detroit, Michigan; Karen Lyles of Cleveland; Leon enderson of Detroit, Michigan, and Camisha Tolbert, also of Detroit, Michigan.
Also from The Chattanoogan…
Armed with funding from a property tax hike, Cleveland, Tn., officials are ramping up some 50 capital projects.
Joe Fivas, city manager, said the projects range from greenways, to infrastructure improvements, to new runway paving at the Cleveland Jetport, and to upgrades at several major intersections.
Funding also came available for the new Candy's Creek Cherokee Elementary School. Grading has started on the project.
Greenway work includes the Casteel Connector linking Tinsley Park to Ocoee Street. Also, the Blythe Oldfield Park, featuring a soccer field, basketball court, large green, pavilion and play equipment has gotten underway.
Cleveland is also looking at a new use for the Cherokee Hotel – with a focus on commercial or residential development.
On other topics, Mayor Tom Rowland said he was dismayed to learn that some Florida evacuees in the city had been victims of price gouging.
He said price gouging is technically not against the law in Tennessee, but he is urging the governor's office to issue a proclamation against it.
