▸ Uncategorized ▸ One-point safety
by Jeremy Snyder - January 4, 2013 October 29, 2018 41
(Updated with Oregon's Fiesta Bowl and Hamline's 2000 one-point safeties.)
Before the 1988 season, the NCAA made a rule change, awarding college football teams two points for returning a failed extra point or two-point conversion. This happens occasionally (9 times in I-A football in 2005).
This rule change brought in play a truly obscure rule: the one-point safety. If a defensive player retreats into his own end zone following an interception, fumble, or blocked kick on a conversion attempt and is tackled there, the tackling team is awarded 1 point. (Similarly, if the converting team retreats into its own end zone and is tackled there, the defense is awarded 1 point, but that end zone is 97 yards away, so this is extremely unlikely.) This rule did exist before 1988, but the defense had no incentive to return a failed conversation, so it had no effect.
NCAA Rule 8-1-1: The point value of scoring plays shall be … Successful Try: … Safety — 1 Point.
Approved Ruling 8-3-2-I: On a try attempt, B2 adds new impetus to a Team A fumble that is recovered in the Team B end zone by Team B.
RULING: Safety, award Team A one point….
Approved Ruling 8-3-2-II: On a try attempt, B2 kicks a Team A fumble into the Team B end zone where Team B recovers while grounded.
RULING: Safety, one point for Team A, or Team A may accept the penalty for illegally kicking the ball … and repeat the down.
Approved Ruling 8-3-2-IX: On a one-point try attempt, Team A's kick is blocked and B75 recovers at the two-yard line. As B75 attempts to advance, he fumbles and the ball rolls into the end zone, where B61 recovers and is downed.
RULING: Safety. Award Team A one point….
[Edit: The NFL rule changed in 2015.] The NFL also allows for the one-point safety, but only for the offense. Because play ends on an NFL conversion as soon as the defense gains possession, the only way this really could happen is if the defense batted the ball from the field of play into its own end zone.
NFL Rule 11-3-2-d: If there is no kick, and the Try results in what would ordinarily be a safety against the defense, one point is awarded to the offensive team.
Approved Ruling 11.4: During a Try, placekick holder A1 fumbles. B1 kicks, bats, or muffs the loose ball (new impetus) on his 2 and it goes out of bounds behind the goal line.
Ruling: Ordinarily a safety (11-5-1). Award one point.
Known one-point safeties:
1. Westminster vs. West Liberty State (NAIA Division II), September 7, 1996.
Westminster holder Kevin Freeman fumbled the snap. Abandoning the kick, he rolled to his right, but threw an interception, which Liberty caught on the 1-yard line. The interceptor was immediately tackled, causing a fumble that Liberty recovered in its own end zone.
2. Moorpark College vs. Bakersfield (Junior College), September 21, 1996.
Moorpark kicker Tim Wolleck's extra point was blocked and recovered by a Bakerfield defender at the 3. The defender retreated into his own end zone, and was tackled there.
3. Hamline (MN) vs. St. Thomas (MN) (Division III), November 11, 2000.
Trailing 13-6 in the 2nd quarter, Hamline's extra point was blocked. St. Thomas recovered the ball at its own 2, then lateraled back into the end zone where the player was tackled. (Thanks to commenter AHS Class of 1976 Reunion for the tip.)
4. Texas vs. Texas A&M, November 26, 2004.
Texas had just scored a touchdown off a blocked punt to cut Texas A&M's lead to 13-12 in the 3rd quarter. The snap on the extra point was low and was bobbled by backup holder Matt Nordgren, causing Dusty Mangum's kick to be blocked. A Texas A&M player picked the ball up but was immediately tackled and fumbled the ball into the end zone, where it was recovered by another Texas A&M player.
5. Oregon vs. Kansas State (Fiesta Bowl), January 3, 2013.
Up 31-10 in the 3rd quarter, Oregon's extra point was blocked and picked up by Kansas State on its own 2-yard-line. The Kansas State player then retreated into his own end zone where he was tackled.

Did it ever happen before 1988 in college or has it ever occurred in the nfl or high school. It is possible in the case of a batted ball I believe.
I actually had this happen once in NCAA '09, and the programmers did not know the rule, where I threw a pass that got intercepted on the opponents' own one yard line, and the computer player started making his 'crazy gyration moves' as I call them, to try to avoid tackle…and ran himself backward and out of bounds in his own end zone. My side was awarded two points for safety…when I now learn that I should've only received one. I will now remember this unbelievably obscure rule forever.
It can't happen in high school football. According to the rule book, the try ends when the defense gains possession. There if the D intercepts a pass or picks up a fumble, the whistle blows immediately killing the play
Are you sure it can't happen in high school football? Yes, the play ends if the defense picks up the ball. That doesn't prevent the defense from, say, knocking the ball completely through the end-zone and out of bounds without picking it up.
It can happen in high school in the same way it could happen in the NFL.
From the 2010 NFHS Rulebook:
Rule 8-3-3: "During a try, [Team] A may score … one point for a … safety by [Team] B under rules governing play at other times during the game."
Also, remember that HS football in some states is played under NCAA rules. I've never seen it happen live, myself, but I worked a game in which it came close to happening.
Remember the momentum rule comes into play here, as well. A safety cannot be awarded if the defender's momentum carries him from the field of play into the end zone, so the defender must enter the end zone on his own hook. Batting the football in the end zone seems a more "likely" scenario.
I would pay good money to see an defensive 1-pt. safety, though… all the way on the other end of the field. It would have to be a case of a change-of-possession, returned down the field by the defense near to the goal line, a fumble by the defender that somehow reverts the impetus back to the offense (by recovery or illegal batting in the end zone) that makes the ball dead in the end zone.
The interesting thing about this rule, is that, at least as far as College Football is concerned (and maybe High School, in some states), that this is the only way, besides a forefit, that a team can score exactly one (and ONLY one) point in a game. I'd love to see Alabama vs. L.S.U. end with a final score of 23-1. Also, singles are regularly scored in Canadian Football, but that is a whole different animal altogether!
The only way for a team to end the game with a score of 1 would be on the extremely improbable 97-yard safety. I can't really think of a way for this to happen that doesn't involve the team that just scored a touchdown intentionally running into the opposite end zone.
The type of one-point safety that could actually happen in normal circumstances can only be scored by the team that just scored a touchdown.

Oregon vs KSU Jan 3rd 2013!!!
Andy Halliday says:
Just happened again in Oregon, Kansas State Fiesta Bowl January 3, 2013
Just now happened again in the Fiesta Bowl, Jan 3, 2013 in the game between Kansas State and Oregon. K State blocked an extra point and recovered it, but was tackled in the end zone.
Thought I knew every football rule. Guess not
This also happened in the Fiesta bowl when K-State blocked an extra point by Oregon. K-state recovered, retreated to the end zone, fumbled, and recovered it in the end zone, giving up the safety. At least they didn'T have to kick off.
So your saying there's a chance…
Who Betta' Than Law? says:
This is a brainteaser…
– Who Betta'
Wow, I missed it, how did the ball get into the endzone? Was the ball carried into the end zone then fumbled or was the ball recovered in the endzone after coming off the hands of the defender who blocked it?
Impressive … Just looked this up right after that Fiesta Bowl 1-pointer and you've already updated the post. Good job on updating so quickly
If Oregon had recovered fumble what would it have been??
Thanks, missed the 11:08 post.
Had Oregon recovered the ball, it would have been two points, as the end result would have been Oregon in the end zone with the ball for a successful conversion.
hope you guys are killin' it tonight! Nice blog update.
Rule only applies on a PAT, not a play from scrimmage.
The defensive 1-pt safety may be highly improbable, but it could happen thus: PAT is blocked and recovered by the defense who returns it to the other end to attempt to score, but has the ball dislodged by the opponent on the 5 yard line, which is then recovered by the original kicking team, outside their endzone, retreats into his endzone to avoid a tackle, and gets tacked in the endzone.
Along these lines, I forget who was playing but in a college game a couple years ago the first score of the game was a touchdown but the extra point was blocked and the other team ran it all the way back, which made the score 6-2 :-O
And then the next day in the NFL a team blocked the extra point and they had an open field to take it back, but the pro rule is that it's a dead ball so no surprise bonus points 🙁
AHS Class of 1976 Reunion says:
I'm the sports information director at NCAA Division III St. Thomas (Minn.). We had this play happen on our field in our 2000 season finale (Nov. 11, 2000) against crosstown rival Hamline. It's cool to know that this play is so rare, but it makes sense. I just read that since 1996 in FBS, only 94 times has the two-point defense return been pulled off. Plus the fact that the rule changed in 1988 to create the chance for such a weird play means it's not like some plays which have a 100-year history. I was scoring the game and had never heard of the play, but Stat Crew software had an entry for a safety on the PAT and it indeed gave the offense one point. In going back to verify the details, I found that four kicks were blocked in the game, won by St. Thomas 19-13. I'been an SID and/or sportswriter for 30-plus years, and if you stay around long enought you see just about everything.
Looks, here's how the weirdest one-point safety could happen: Point-after try, kick blocked, defense recovers and runs the ball 90 yards to the other end zone. Before they get there, the kicking team's player catches up to the runner, hits him and he fumbles the ball into the end zone. The kicking team player grabs the ball, retreats into his own end zone while trying to get back down field, but is tackled in his own end zone. Result: One-point safety for the defending team. In fact, the game could end with a score of 6-1. Wait ten thousand years and see if it happens.

Dave Zanko says:
Yep. If a blocked field goal attempt is recovered by the kicking team and advanced into the end zone, the kicking team scores a touchdown.
A conversion attempt (try) is really an untimed down where a score is worth one third of its normal value, so if a try kick, normally worth 1 point, is blocked but recovered by the kicking team and advanced to the end zone, it would be a touchdown worth 2 points, just as an intentional pass or run play for a touchdown on a try is worth two points.
Starting in 2015 in the NFL, as has been the case in college for some time, change of possession on a try does not automatically render the ball dead. This means that a turnover of blocked kick recovery on a try play can actually be returned by the defense for a 2-point touchdown (which I've seen called a "counter-conversion").
It also allows for any type of safety that would be possible on a regular play, albeit for only 1 point instead of 2 (theoretically it should be 2/3 of a point, but there's no fractional points). So things like the play at the 2013 Fiesta Bowl can happen. Or theoretically, through a highly unlikely combination of events such as two turnovers on the play, the defense could actually score a safety on the offense, resulting in a possible score of 6-1, the only way for a team to have only 1 point in an American football game.
Canadian football also has the rogue, a point awarded to the kicking team for preventing the receiving team from advancing the ball out of the endzone on a kickoff or punt (like a touchback) or missed field goal (as the goal posts are still at the front of the end zone in Canada). Gets some flack for awarding a point on a missed field goal, but is interesting. A version of that (which would only work for kick offs, punts and maybe short field goals if feeling generous) would be an interesting addition to the American game, I think, as it'd make a touchback into a less desirable situation.
Jeff Nibert says:
Yes, but Canadian end zones are 25 yards long. On a rouge (not "rogue"), the ball needs to clear the entire end zone.
Yes, but Canadian end zones are 25 yards long. On a rouge (not "rogue") per Wikipedia, "A single is awarded when the ball is kicked into the end zone by any legal means—other than a convert (successful or not) or a successful field goal—and the receiving team does not return (or kick) the ball out of its end zone. A single is also scored if the kick travels through the end zone, or—other than on a kickoff—the ball goes out of bounds in the end zone without being touched."
Now they could, as the rules changed in 2015. Yay weird scores like 6-2. Sounds like baseball.

They split in 2004 but the custody battle for their children continued to wage on until 2008 in what became known as 'showbiz's bloodiest battle'.
And it seems Brian McFadden might be looking to reignite that conflict once again, after claiming he never agreed to his daughters' lives being broadcast on his ex-wife Kerry Katona's reality television shows.
The former Westlife singer, who is father to Molly, 11, and 10-year-old Lily-Sue with Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, said in a new interview that he never wanted his girls to feature on the programmes.
He said: 'I've never liked that. I think it's wrong. Maybe it isn't so bad when they're babies, but they're at school now. I never wanted them to be on the MTV show.
Brian - who is now married to model Vogue Williams - admits he and Kerry are no longer on speaking terms, adding that he always goes through his children's nanny when he arranges when to see them.
Asked if he has a relationship with the reality TV star now, he told Now magazine: 'No. Not at all, no. My relationship is with my children and all my dealings go through their nanny.
However Briain's claim has been refuted by Kerry's spokesperson, who told MailOnline: 'Kerry's children do not have a nanny with them 24 hours a day except occasionally when Kerry is away working overnight.
'When she is not away she does not employ a nanny and does all the things normal mums do from the school run onwards.
'Unfortunately I can't comment on Brian's views on his children being filmed. He hasn't been heavily involved in any decision making on their upbringing as he hasn't been in the country, was rarely in touch generally and did not contribute financially to their welfare in terms of maintenance.
Brian is no stranger to making controversial comments about his ex-wife as back in 2008 he claimed he was unhappy about the way his children had been brought up.
While Brian still clearly has few issues with his ex-wife, Kerry also opened up about their relationship as she appeared on The Big Reunion.
The 32-year-old singer charted her highs and lows since leaving the band on the show, but it was clear that the breakdown of her first marriage to the Westlife singer was what first sent her life spiralling out of control.
Meanwhile, Kerry has denied reports she is planning to wed for a third time after it was claimed former rugby star George Kay was planning a proposal when the couple take a romantic trip to Dubai next week.
The 33-year-old former rugby star - who has served six years in jail for blackmail - was reported to have splashed out £5,500 on a platinum diamond ring after winning the support of the Atomic Kitten singer's mother Sue.
But a spokesperson for the star has denied the claims, admitting while George is 'great for Kerry', it's 'far too early' for the couple to be considering marriage.
The spokesperson told MailOnline: 'The rumours are totally untrue. Things are going well with George and Kerry, he is a top lad, great for Kerry and great with the children.

I have received a suggestion from a more-experienced – or smarter, anyway – blogger that readers do not tend to click on links to an entire series. This will be a problem for me, and I am not sure how I will handle it. An ongoing series has articles separated by a few days, and is manageable. A list of 4 or 8 links seems a bit much to most readers at one go. I get it. It seems a bit much to me as well. If I publish them all here it will take over the site, which seems neither interesting nor polite.
For the moment, I will put up the entire post of one that was recently only linked. It in turn has multiple links at the bottom, but I hasten to say they are undemanding. They're just pictures, 10 to a link. Humor me on this. You will be rewarded.
I made a claim of longstanding media bias, as many conservatives do. It occurred to me that I could give quick evidence of it. I will let the Time and Newsweek covers speak for me.
But, you say, we didn't take those magazines at our house. Or, those were a long time ago, they didn't affect me. Then they affected your teachers and parents, and the people around you who found it very important to keep up with current events. Did you never have dental care, visit a friend, go to the doctor? Were there no pharmacies, newsstands, grocery checkouts in your town?
Or perhaps you think that even though those were around you, they didn't affect you. You were objective, you saw through those things. Well yes. I would say you either consciously saw through them and were offended by them, or you were affected whether you admit it or not. For myself, I mostly didn't notice until the late 80's and was affected. After that I did notice and was offended. These weekly covers were ubiquitous, and I contend you were affected. This was the air that you breathed.
If you still think not, then how is it that you arrived at the same opinion of these figures as the editors wished you to?
I started at Ford, as the Nixon covers would be too dominated by Watergate discussions and not a clean sample. I strongly favored solo pictures of a president, taken during his years of office. I stuck with Time and Newsweek. When there was a shortage of these, I chose covers from the campaign, as close to the date of election as possible. I avoided retrospectives after the president had left office, as those are often mellowing. I didn't have that many choices for Gerald Ford, however. I took them in the order that Duckduckgo, or sometimes Bing images presented them to me. I did not pick and choose for effect. With Clinton, I did limit myself to three covers related to Lewinsky. I back-published all in last month's archives rather than clutter up my two front pages with pictures of presidents. Notice also what words are on the covers, the expressions captured, the black-and-white.

A History of Dodge Automobiles
Blog Jan 10th, 2023
Dodge is an American brand of automobiles and a division of Stellantis, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Dodge vehicles have historically included performance cars, and for much of its existence Dodge was Chrysler's mid-priced brand above Plymouth.
Founded as the Dodge Brothers Company machine shop by brothers Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge in the early 1900s, Dodge was originally a supplier of parts and assemblies to Detroit-based automakers like Ford. They began building complete automobiles under the "Dodge Brothers" brand in 1914, predating the founding of Chrysler Corporation.
Dodge mainstay vehicles were trucks and full-sized passenger cars through the 1970s, though it also built compact cars such as the 1963-76 Dart and midsize cars such as the "B-Body" Coronet and Charger from 1965-78.
The 1973 oil embargo caused American "gas guzzler" sales to slump, prompting Chrysler to develop the Dodge Aries K platform compact and mid-size cars for the 1981 model year. The K platform and its derivatives are credited with reviving Chrysler's business in the 1980s. One example was the Dodge Caravan. During the 1990s, the Dodge Stratus found many buyers along with the larger Dodge Intrepid.
In 2011, Dodge and its sub-brands Dodge Ram and Dodge Viper, were separated. Ram became a standalone marque.
In 2014, SRT was merged back into Dodge. Later that year, the Chrysler Group was renamed FCA US LLC, coinciding with the merger of Fiat S.p.A. and the Chrysler Group into the corporate structure of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Subsequently, another merger occurred on January 16, 2021, between FCA and the PSA Group (Stellantis), making the Dutch-domiciled automaker the second largest in Europe, after Volkswagen.
Locally, South 20 Dodge in Humboldt proudly serves all of Saskatchewan. Offering new and
used vehicles. Our commitment to service and quality is second to none.

Billing Boats (BB510) RMS Titanic - Model Boat & Fittings is a scale model of the famous ocean liner RMS Titanic. RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service. Titanic was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those lost during the sinking. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew.

Of course, those are hardly the only issues that need fixing. Prime Minister John Key of New Zealand has been curiously quiet about his country's role in enabling the financial fraud Mecca that is the Cook Islands. In Britain, the Tories have been shameless about concealing their own practices involving offshore companies, while Jennifer Shasky Calvery, the director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network at the United States Treasury, just announced her resignation to work instead for HSBC, one of the most notorious banks on the planet (not coincidentally headquartered in London). And so the familiar swish of America's revolving door echoes amidst deafening global silence from thousands of yet-to-be-discovered ultimate beneficial owners who are likely praying that her replacement is equally spineless. In the face of political cowardice, it's tempting to yield to defeatism, to argue that the status quo remains fundamentally unchanged, while the Panama Papers are, if nothing else, a glaring symptom of our society's progressively diseased and decaying moral fabric.
Hopelessly backward and inefficient courts have failed. Judges have too often acquiesced to the arguments of the rich, whose lawyers—and not just Mossack Fonseca—are well trained in honouring the letter of the law, while simultaneously doing everything in their power to desecrate its spirit.
Historians can easily recount how issues involving taxation and imbalances of power have led to revolutions in ages past. Then, military might was necessary to subjugate peoples, whereas now, curtailing information access is just as effective or more so, since the act is often invisible. Yet we live in a time of inexpensive, limitless digital storage and fast internet connections that transcend national boundaries. It doesn't take much to connect the dots: from start to finish, inception to global media distribution, the next revolution will be digitized.

Hugdietrich ist in der deutschen Heldensage der Vater von Wolfdietrich.

In der Fassung B des Wolfdietrich-Epos wird seine Geschichte ausgeweitet: Er gewinnt seine von ihrem Vater Walgund, König von Salneck, in einem Turm eingesperrte Königstochter Hildeburg (in anderen Überlieferungen: Hiltgart) dadurch, dass er sich in Frauenkleider verkleidet. Als Gespielin der Königstochter darf er ihr Gesellschaft leisten. Kurze Zeit später wird die Königstochter schwanger und bringt Wolfdietrich zu Welt. Dieser wird ausgesetzt, vom Vater Hildburgs dann jedoch aus einem Wolfsnest gerettet und Wolfdietrich genannt. Es kommt schließlich zur Versöhnung mit Hugdietrich.

Wie die Sage von Wolfdietrich war auch die Geschichte von Hugdietrich Bestandteil des im Druck erschienenen Heldenbuchs und darum bis zum 16. Jh. vergleichsweise gut bekannt.

Back when Jeremy Martinez committed to USC as a freshman catcher at Santa Ana Mater Dei, few expected him to end up in college. He was a top draft pick in waiting.
For whatever reason, Martinez didn't go as high as expected by his senior year. He was a 37th-round pick of the Chicago Cubs and ended up going to USC after all.
And the Trojans now have a standout for three years.
As a freshman this season, Martinez is the eighth-leading hitter in the Pac-12, with a .347 batting average. He has struck out only nine times in 124 at-bats.
He has helped lead USC to a 9-9 Pac-12 record after a sweep of Arizona this past week.
One of USC's problems in recent years has been getting high-profile high school commitments from players who never show up.
Martinez's arrival could be the start of the Trojans' turnaround.

Report: Islamic Militants Asked The U.S. To Pay Ransom For Executed Journalist
By Catherine Thompson
August 21, 2014 8:20 a.m.
Islamic militants had asked the United States to pay a multi-million dollar ransom for journalist James Foley's release before executing him, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The U.S. had refused to pay a requested $100 million ransom for Foley's release, a representative of the journalist's family and a former hostage held alongside Foley told the Times. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, an extremist group that has been terrorizing parts of those countries, released a video Tuesday that showed Foley's beheading.
The newspaper pointed out that al-Qaeda and its affiliates had earned at least $125 million over the last five years in ransom sums for kidnapped Europeans. ISIS had been recently expelled from al-Qaeda.
Separately, Philip Balboni, the president and CEO of GlobalPost, a news website that Foley had been writing for, told the Wall Street Journal that ISIS had asked both Foley's family and Global Post for a $132.5 million ransom. Balboni didn't disclose how they responded to the demand.
The White House said Wednesday that a rescue operation had tried and failed to rescue Foley and other hostages during a secret mission earlier this summer in Syria.

TOUGH LOVE • by Oscar Windsor-Smith
It's taken me twenty years to find the courage to knock on Nigel Crothers' door, and he lives two streets away from my family home.
Heading there now I'm dreading every step, counting each familiar streetlight and paving stone, carrying with me the rusty evidence of my crime in a supermarket plastic bag and hoping for forgiveness.
Nigel had a younger brother called Simon. When Billy Logan tied Simon to a tree I thought it was only another rough game at first. Billy never did like Simon. But I always felt there was more to it than that. Now, with life experience, I can see how it really was. I think Billy did like Simon — far too much — and didn't like the way that made him feel.
Before I moved away I used to see Nigel now and again, you could hardly help it in a place like this. Most times I found a reason not to speak, crossed the street on some important errand, or, if I couldn't avoid talking, just said "Hi," and scurried on. He seemed well enough — considering. Never did leave his mum's house though. Sort of quiet and studious is how he turned out. He wasn't like that at school before it happened, always playing stupid tricks on mates and teachers and he spent more hours in detention than most of us did, I reckon.
It didn't happen the way they said at the inquest: "…misadventure… boys will be boys… a bit of rough horseplay that went wrong." No, that day Billy Logan had a plan. "We're going to get Simon Crothers," he said as we crossed the playground heading home. At least we should have been heading home. In fact, we took a back way through the allotments off Burner Street and picked up some stuff that Billy had stashed there behind a shed. And then we went on the hunt. That really was how it felt. Sometimes Billy had this strange look in his eyes, like an angry dog, wide, staring — without feeling. When he was like that you didn't argue unless you wanted him to turn on you. I made that mistake once. Never again.
There's the alley where Billy had me catch Simon and tell him Nigel was waiting for him in Blackstone Park, near to the canal.
When I took Simon's hand he asked me should he go and tell his mum but, God forgive me, I told him that she already knew. I gave Simon my most friendly smile before leading him away. Halfway there he hesitated and started to pull back. I panicked knowing Billy would take it out on me if I failed, so I told him that his brother had an ice cream for him and the little fellow almost pulled me there.
How could I have known what Billy would do? I thought tying the boy up was a joke, until Simon started screaming and Billy stuffed a filthy handkerchief into his mouth. Like I told the court, as soon as I saw that look in Simon's eyes and his face turning blue, I ran straight home to get my Scout knife and cut him down, but I fell and hit my head and didn't remember anything for hours.
Nigel's mother looked at me across the courtroom. She knew. Her look has stayed with me to this day. Wherever I've travelled, whether I've slept in doss-houses or in satin sheets, her eyes were always there and her wizened suicidal finger pointing to the bushes where I hid my knife rather than confront Billy Logan.
I can't bring Simon back but I can tell Nigel how it really was. I owe him that much. Besides, my life's a load of shit and has been ever since that day.
This is Nigel's door. And this is the start of a new me because, underneath the fear, I'm beginning to imagine how it must feel to be at peace.

Are Immigrants the Key to Stronger Democracy?
Sayu Bhojwani is an immigrant from India and has served as New York City's first Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs, as well as founding and participating in multiple organizations and projects involving the growth of success for immigrants. Sayu presents an interesting point that democracy is not natural, but a learning process. The gap between the government and citizens appear to be getting wider, but especially for immigrants. Sayu presents the concept of lessening the gap by listening to the voices of the people, including immigrants. If American democracy allows immigrants to participate, then the opportunity for more diverse candidates being elected is much more likely.

Hannes Minnaar
Van Baerle Trio
'Every hour I spend at the piano I encounter beauty in art. A great many masterpieces have been written for the instrument, and they provide me with a life-long journey of discovery.'
5-star reviews for 'Nox'
Nox has got amazing acclaim in the Dutch press during the last months. It has received 5-star reviews in main newspapers De Volkskrant, NRC and Trouw and a similar review in Het Parool. All of these newspapers have included the album in their 'best of the year'-lists (NRC – Trouw – Volkskrant – Parool). Besides, NRC has included my Rachmaninoff 3 performance with the Netherlands Philharmonic and Valentin Uryupin in their 'best classical concerts of 2020'-list.
Support the artist: buy a signed CD
To buy a signed copy of my recordings, please visit my little webshop! At the moment, delivery is only possible in the Netherlands.
New solo album: Nox
On September 24 my new solo album Nox will be released! It's all about the theme of night, its magic and its delusions. The programme contains Schumann's Nachtstücke, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and a brandnew piece by Robert Zuidam titled Nox (check this small excerpt). Find more information on the recording section on this site. I'll be on tour with this programme in recital from November, starting in Muziekgebouw aan het IJ on November 7.
'He doesn't seem to try overly hard to be distinctive, but he is so nonetheless, his playing always buoyant and convincingly thought-through.'
See all press
'Free of bluff and swagger, in deference to the music at all times.' – NRC
'My overall approach to music is to take a score very seriously, which is not the same as taking it literally. Pianists from earlier days are a constant inspiration in that respect. I admire such artists as Alfred Cortot, who does not position himself between the composer and the piece, yet leaves an unmistakeable mark on the music. Wilhelm Kempff's aural richness and trueness, for example, is an example of something I aspire to.'
Minnaar is consistently described by the critics as being able to convey musical essence in all its purity. They talk about his spontaneity and naturalness, an ease without superficiality. On his debut solo album of Rachmaninov and Ravel, Gramophone commented: 'A convincing tonal colourist and ardent Romantic. He's a natural talent with a bold streak.' BBC Music Magazine proclaimed the second album their Choice of the Month, saying: 'Underlying Bach's contrapuntal wizardry is a compelling emotional narrative'. On the third solo album, Gramophone wrote: 'Minnaar's identification with Fauré's unique realm of music is complete and his deeply felt interpretations shine with clarity and infinite nuance.'
In Spring 2019, Hannes Minnaar performed on the renowned Master Pianists Series in Amsterdam's Concertgebouw; as the first Dutchman in 20 years. Hailed by the national press as an undisputed success, NRC noted his playing as 'free of bluff and swagger' and 'in deference to the music at all times'.
Minnaar first gained attention as second prize winner of the Geneva International Music Competition 2008, and third prize winner at the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2010. The influence from his teachers including Jan Wijn, Jacques van Oortmerssen and Ferenc Rados, and masterclasses with Menahem Pressler profoundly informed his performance inspiration. Among conductors, Minnaar has worked with Herbert Blomstedt, Antony Hermus, Xian Zhang and the late Jirí Belohlávek. Minnaar was made a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellow in 2011, and he received the Dutch Music Award in 2016 – the highest honour bestowed upon a classical musician by the Dutch Ministry of Culture.
Vitally important to Minnaar's musical raison d'être is his work with the Van Baerle Trio, founded together with violinist Maria Milstein and cellist Gideon den Herder in 2004. Nominated by Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, they were ECHO Rising Stars 2013–14.
The 250th anniversary of Beethoven has been a major focus for Minnaar over these last seasons both in performance and recordings. Here too, the critical acclaim is widely supported. Of the complete Piano Concertos with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jan Willem de Vriend, the Emperor Concerto was a recommended recording on BBC Radio 3's Building a Library. It was said to have 'passion, drama, vital rhythms, transparency, and, more important: a celebration of unity, with pianist and orchestra continually sparking off each other.' On a recent release of piano trios, containing the famous Archduke, Gramophone concluded: 'Chamber music performances in the best sense: modest in proportion but rich in insight.'
The 2020–21 season will see Hannes Minnaar premiere a new solo work of Dutch composer Robert Zuidam. He will make international recital debuts in the USA and the UK as well as touring the Netherlands and Belgium in recital and concert. Welcomed back to the Concertgebouw every season, Minnaar will be soloist with the Residentie Orchestra and its chief conductor Anja Bihlmaier. Autumn 2020 will see the release of his much anticipated next solo disc, Nox, based on a nocturnal theme, with the new work of Zuidam complemented by Schumann and Ravel.

Q: Is there any way to increase the mysql reserved pool for super users beyond 1? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/too-many-connections.html
States that there is 1 connection beyond your maximum number of connections for users with the super privilege.
My question is can you increase that number?  Eventually I want to put limits in for all users that leave additional connections open for administrative jobs, but I'm not in a position to do that right now.
I want to increase that number to 10 so I can have replication jobs and monitoring jobs not affected by application connections.

A: Is there some sort of sane upper limit any one user should never exceed?  Maybe your busiest application  has at most 20 open connections during peak normal operation.  Let's assume you have 20 non root users.
set max_user_connections = 30 (to give a bit of a safe buffer)

set max_connections = max_user_connections * # users + extra buffer,
   or 30 * 20 + 50 = 650 max connections.

This way your global max connections is safe from every getting reached and there should always be room for you to get in even if one particularly application or user is getting maxed out.

The Dutch long-term interest rate based on the return of the most recent ten-year public loan dropped further to an average of 0,9 percent in November, i.e. 0.1 percentage point down from October. The interest rate is currently at its lowest level since the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) started the time series in mid-1986. The highest rate in the time series was recorded in October 1990 (9.2 percent).
One of the main guidelines for the ECB's decision to change or refrain from changing the interest rate is the level of inflation in the eurozone. According to the ECB, eurozone prices are stable if the inflation rate is below, but close to, 2 percent. Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, recorded an inflation rate of 0.3 percent in the eurozone in November.


That huge drop-off at the end? That's "the largest magnitude decline in sea ice, and the greatest sustained rate in sea ice decline in that 1,500-year record," said Emily Osborne, the NOAA scientist who compiled the data for the chart.
The chart is supposed to show summer sea ice minima, as described here.
As we know from DMI, sea ice extent has stabilised in summer, and has slightly increased since 2007.
Temperatures recently are no higher than in the 1930s and 40s. The cycle we can see is connected with the AMO.
The claim that, the Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world, is simply a reflection of the upward part of the cycle. Changes in Arctic temperatures are invariably amplified, either warming faster or cooling faster.
The Arctic Report Card comes from NOAA's Arctic Program, which needs to continue pumping out scary propaganda to keep its funding coming in.
Well it was a bit unusual in 2016-17 when the SMB growth tracked well over 2 std. deviations above the mean or eight months.
Sooner or later the chickens are going to come home to roost for the liars at NOAA.
What will likely happen is that this mass increase will be attributed to… Global warming. Warming means more precipitation, which falls as snow on the Greenland Icecap. And I could actually get behind such an explanation, the summer temperatures up there average about 10 below, so we need 10 celsius warming to melt it, meantime there is more snow.
The problem is they have been and still are saying that the Greenland ice sheet is losing mass when the exact opposite is happening. That is a flat out LIE!
"Rankin Inlet, Nunavut gets cold in the winter. Located on the northwestern shore of the Hudson Bay at 62 degrees and between Chesterfield Inlet and Arviat, the town is definitely in a remote yet exposed region. Weather is just a part of life and recently the weather has been colder than cold.
Schools in the south get "snow days" though when you get to the 60-degree latitudes school closures are "cold days"…usually accompanied by some snow as well. When temperatures fall to -60C with the windchill or more than just about everyone will stay home and not risk going outside and expose skin. For the past few days, schools have cautiously remained closed.
"I don't remember the last time we actually closed due to weather. This is a bit of an extreme," said Mike Osmond, chair of the Rankin Inlet District Education Authority.
Temperatures are getting to –40 C before the windchill and when the winds are factored in, it feels colder than –60 C.
we just don't get cold like we used to.
now, all we get is global warming cold 'n' the experts say it's getting warmer – just you wait out this 'global warming cold', huh then you'll see said Noaa the idiot lap dog.
They are known as 'warming holes' – somewhere the heat has fallen through leaving just the cold bit. Yes, I know, it is drivel but then what about climate science fiction isn't?
It is really quite shameless, 50% agenda led and 50% money led.
So much so that in the two main areas of expansion Chukchi and towards Iceland, current levels are higher than they have been for some 90-95% of the last 10,000 year.
But if you take the shaded areas in the graph (which I assume are "error bars", and take points atr random within those areas (i.e. don't assume that the actual data follows the shape given), then the arctic ice is in constant transition.
For example, around 600, if the top of the error shading is right and then soon after the bottom of the error shading is right, there is a massive fall. These people don't seem to understand their own graphs.
This ugly phrase strikes one as the sort of blundering precis a not-very-bright student, who is late with his home-work assignment, makes of his incomprehensible textbook, in the twenty minutes which the school-bus takes to go from his house to the day-time scholastic prison.
Data from the past which does not support the current orthodoxy was incompetently gathered or analyzed.
The science is always settled; except when a still more frightening scenario can be written.
Where is lovely Kate Humble in her fur-lined parka when you need her?
Keeping a polar warm and well fed?
Once again, more scary climate stuff but no discussion, mention nor recommendation as to what "we" can do about it. Perhaps they know the answers is NOTHING meaningful.
The NOAA chart is actually not from NOAA. Is is a reproduction of Kinnard et. al. 2011 in Nature 479: 509-512. Patwalled, but the abstract suffices to show junk science. Kinnard ised circumpolar TERRESTIAL temp proxies (tree rings, lake varves) to guesstimate sea ice extent. No sea ice proxies at all. To which garbage the satellite era actual extents were incorrectly appended on a faux y axis scale. Worse than Mann's hockey stick.
A bit economic with la verite to says we have satellite data since the 70s when it is 1979 and closer to just the 80s.
Donald has plenty to work on for the next 3 years and for the 4 after that.
Sorry you are wrong the data started in the early 70s and used to be shown by the IPCC, but it did not tell the correct story, so they dropped the first 8 years.
Go to this video by Tony Heller and look at about 7 minutes.
Hemisphere sea-ice extent anomalies. Data from NOAA (USA).
Did you know it came with a discussion?
Especially importantly, satellite observations have been used to map sea-ice extent routinely since the early 1970s. The American Navy Joint Ice Center has produced weekly charts which have been digitised by NOAA. These data are summarized in Figure 7.20 which is based on analyses carried out on a 1° latitude x 2.5° longitude grid. Sea-ice is defined to be present when its concentration exceeds 10% (Ropelewski, 1983). Since about 1976 the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less.
So from IPCC, starting at a high point on the left side of the chart falsifies the slope.
Joe Bastardi and the guys at Weatherbell are saying March is going to be colder and wetter than average and both the US and European models now agree. But what Joe is saying is that the weather patterns forecast for March this year are pretty much identical to those that occurred in March of 1962. In early March of 1962 the mid Atlantic states suffered the worst winter storm to hit there during that century. It was a dozy, as bad as a major hurricane strike. This was back when the atmospheric CO2 level was at 320 ppm.
You know that if something like that storm hits in March (or any other time) that the ambulance chasers will be out in force AFTER THE FACT blaming it on "climate change" and so now you know that the repeat of the very conditions that led to that storm have already been forecast by legitimate meteorologists.
My concern is that it's only a short hop from propagandising to believing your own propoganda, then to outright fraud in order to maintain it, especially when you have a 'free pass' from the government and media. For an agency with a monopoly on data collection and presentation, who also seem comfortable publically making unsubstantiated assertions, this would seem to be more a likelihood than a possibility.
The above post thread is confirmation of egregious tampering and fixing.
Isn't it convenient that all this warming is in the Arctic where there are practically no people to contradict what is claimed by the climate scientists and their media toadies?


Napa, CA. - September 26, 2011 – Phyterra Yeast Inc. ("the Company") is pleased to report that Lacon GmbH has renewed the Company's organic certifications for its wine yeast products. This reaffirms and ensures that Phyterra's wine yeasts are acceptable for use in organic wine production under both National Organic Program ("NOP") USDA and European Commission Organic ("White Leaf" symbol) regulations. Phyterra's wine yeasts have also been accepted and registered with California Certified Organic Farmers ("CCOF") as organic wine yeast.
Phyterra's wine yeasts feature an exclusive proprietary attribute of preventing the formation of hydrogen sulfide ("H2S") in the fermentation phase. This natural attribute was discovered in a vineyard yeast from Italy and refined by Dr. Linda Bisson, at the University of California, Davis. Years of development, and funding and support have come from the U.S. commercial wine industry, largely through the American Vineyard Foundation. These novel yeasts provide winemakers with an effective and viable way to prevent the occurrence of H2S in fermentation, thereby preventing the need for H2S remediation in wine production while retaining natural high quality winemaking practices in a way that best supports Wellness for Wine™.
Lacon GmbH Germany is an international agency that provides third party services for food and agriculture industries including the inspection and certification of organic production, processing and handling of agricultural produces, as well as the export and import of such products as per relevant national rules and Certification for International Featured Standards ("IFS").

pattern Mum used to make matching dresses for my sister and me. We wore them to the Sunday School festival day, no collars though, she didn't like making collars.
For most of the time when I was a little girl, actually up until I reached double figures just about everything I wore apart from my underwear was made by my mum. Same for my sister and mum made most of her own clothes too. Not sure about my brother because I didn't take much notice of him. He was older and always seemed to give the impression that he thought girls were stupid. My sister and I on the other hand were thick as thieves.
Keeping two little girls in clothes, knitted and sewn, was something mum said she really enjoyed and it wasn't something that got shared on social media just seen in person by family and friends and school friends and such. Not so much sharing with strangers way back then.
As children we didn't get any input into what she made, it was her creative outlet and she had good taste. Probably quite sensible too as I know the things my children had the most input in to were the things they never really wore or even liked once they were made. Perhaps the finished product just never quite matched up to the image they had in their heads.
Our clothes were never fussy, quite classic lines, not many frills or lace except on special dresses. Mum didn't like the labour involved in the making or upkeep of frills and really if you are making something for a child to wear for everyday play and life, everyday washing and ironing I can understand the lack of frills.
I am pretty sure I follow a similar strategy with my doll clothes, classic comfortable designs just right for play, reading books, running jumping, climbing, tea parties, dolly hospitals, schools ( we used to play schools and libraries soooo much).
I have lots of dolls to get dressed, the knitting is time consuming but worthwhile, the sewing is fun but I always procrastinate. I'll get there though, all in good time.

Q: Eigenfunctions of subgroup of Heisenberg matrices Consider the subgroup of the Heisenberg matrices given by:
$$ \mathcal{S} = \Big\{ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & z \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1  \end{bmatrix} : z \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{N} \Big\}   $$
If we take a group rotation given by
 $$T(g) = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & \pi/4 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1  \end{bmatrix} \cdot g   $$
then I wish to find the eigenfunctions of $T$. According to theorem 3.5 of Walters' "Introduction to Ergodic theory" every eigenfunction is a multiple of a character. But I'm unsure how to use this theorem to back out the characters and eigenfunctions.
Any help appreciated.

A: If $T=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & \pi/4 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1  \end{bmatrix}$, then it is easy to see that $T$ has only one eigenvalue: $1$.
Can you proceed ?

Having gone through very many census returns, it is noticeable that very many households have only a limited number of "living in", both aristocratic and down in the middle classes. In the vicinity there are many listed as servants who are clearly living out in say mews or lodging houses. This has led me to wonder if those who go between town and country houses take only the living in servants with them and then hire others from place to place. In rural areas the local villages etc., in town choosing between the many looking for work at any time. I suspect that the employment etc. of servants could be more complex than we think. In fiction, inevitably, it is usual for the servants to be taken for granted, as I suspect as in life.

HC issues notice to censor board
KOCHI:, June 16, 2016 00:00 IST
Updated: October 18, 2016 14:51 IST
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the Central government on a writ petition filed by director of the Malayalam film Kathakali challenging the board's suggestion for three cuts in the film for issuing certification.
When the petition came up for hearing, Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar asked the counsel for the CBFC to produce the Bombay High Court verdict in the Udta Punjab film case.
According to Saijo Kannanaikkal, director and producer of the film, the Central board wanted him to delete three scenes in the film. In fact, he had already deleted objectionable words from one scene. The two other scenes, which the board wanted him to remove, related to nudity. It was a non-sexual nudity and was justified as being part of the story.
A little bit of nudity was necessary, if at all partial visibility of a buttock was nudity, to make the scenes perfect.
Though the objectionable audio was deleted, the board officer was insisting on full compliance with the required modifications.
The delay in getting the film cleared was causing great deal of loss and hardship to the petitioner. The guidelines for certification of a film for public exhibition obliged the CBFC to ensure that human sensibility was not offended by vulgarity and obscenity. The petitioner sought a directive to the board to certify his Kathakali in accordance with Section 5A of the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
Film Kathakali's director challenges board's suggestion for cuts in the film for certification.

We Don't Need Biden's Permission To Own A 'Semi-Automatic' Gun
By: David Harsanyi
Image CreditWikipedia / Praiyachat
"The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick," Joe Biden argued on Thanksgiving. "It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers."
Need it really be pointed out that it is perfectly within our rights to purchase products devoid of all socially redemptive value? Certainly, it is not the state's business to determine what we "need." That said, semi-automatic weapons happen to have an obvious redeeming value and there is a strong rationale for owning them. Semi-auto weapons are easy to use, and their effectiveness and reliability bolster the ability of people to protect themselves, their families, their property, and their community from criminality and, should it descend into tyranny, the government. Gun bans are autocratic and unconstitutional, and, thankfully, also largely unfeasible.
It is difficult to pinpoint what percentage of the 400-plus million firearms in civilian hands today are semi-automatic. These weapons, which fire one cartridge with a single trigger squeeze while preparing the gun for the next shot, constitute a substantial percentage of new gun sales over the past few decades. Banning them would prevent homeowners and those who concealed-carry — not only some of the most law-abiding people in the country, but a growing contingent —without the weapon of choice. The actions of a small number of irrational criminal psychopaths should not corrode the rights of those citizens. Not to mention, corroding our rights would do nothing to stop the irrational criminal psychopaths.
Indeed, semi-autos meet every criterion of legality laid out in D.C. v. Heller, the decision that finally codified the clear historical and legal intention of the Second Amendment. Not only are semi-automatic weapons "in common use" by "law-abiding citizens," they are not "unusual." The first semi-automatic pistols hit the civilian marketplace in the 1890s.
Now, there is always the not-so-small chance that Biden has confused the real-world mechanical designation of "semi-automatic" with the political concoction of "assault weapons." I'm skeptical. Anyone who's involved in the gun debate knows that "semi-automatic" guns, often purposely conflated with the more dangerous "automatic" weapons, are the target of restrictionists. A few years back during that shameful post-Parkland CNN gun "town hall," the crowd loudly cheered at the suggestion of banning all "semi-automatic" rifles. And, earlier this year, the president suggested that ordinary citizens should be banned from owning popular "high-caliber" 9mm handguns. "So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is of — there's simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting," Biden said of the type of gun used by the Secret Service to protect him.
It is, as it always has been in the gun debate, incrementalism. From "no one wants to take your guns" to "we only want to take some of them" and so on. Of course, even if the president really intended to talk about a semi-automatic rifle ban, his goals would still be unconstitutional. Again, the gun meets every standard set by Heller for legality. And if the Senate somehow musters the 60 votes to push through the ban on certain semi-automatic guns recently passed by the House, states should challenge the federal government, and, if need be, ignore it.
Biden, who often imparts dreadful, sometimes illegal, advice on gun ownership, also has a long history of saying completely inane, insane, and historically illiterate things about firearms —whether cringingly noting that deer don't wear "Kevlar" or claiming cannons were banned during the Revolutionary era as a way to argue that the Second Amendment "like all other rights, is not absolute."
On the latter, Biden often (fittingly) cites one of the most egregious violations of the First Amendment, Schenck v. United States, which allowed the Woodrow Wilson administration to throw socialists into prison for speech crimes, to make his point. And perhaps that speaks to the crucial distinction at the heart of so many of our debates. Biden, and thus the contemporary left, seems to be under the impression that it's the state that "allows" us to buy semi-automatic firearms or "allows" us to say certain things. But we don't need their permission.

Takuu (também Mortlock, Taku, Tau ou Tauu) é uma língua polinésia, mais especificamente das Eliceanas falada no atol de Takuu, perto de Bougainville (ilha) Está intimamente relacionado com as línguas nukumanu  e nukura da Papua-Nova Guiné e com as línguas ontong java  e sikaiana das Ilhas Salomão].

População
A língua Takuu é falada na vila de Mortlock, no atol de Takuu (Ilhas Marqueen), na costa leste de Bougainville, Papua-Nova Guiné. Takuu fica a cerca de 250 km a nordeste de Kieta, capital de Bougainville. O atol consiste em cerca de 13 ilhas, mas a maioria da população vive em uma pequena ilha vizinha chamada Nukutoa. As ilhas são habitadas por aproximadamente 400 pessoas de origem polinésia. As pessoas que falam a língua Takuu são conhecidas "as pessoas de Takuu" ou apenas Takuu. De acordo com Ethnologue, existem cerca de 1.750 falantes da língua.

Consoantes
Takuu tem onze consoantes: f, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v e h. Moyle afirma que as consoantes oclusivas são, p, t, k. As consoantes denominadas fricativas são f / v, s, h. As consoantes nasais são m, n, a consoante lateral é l, aproximante é r. As consoantes labiais consistem em p, f / v, m. As consoantes apicais consistem em t, s, n, l, r. A consoante velar é k e a glotal é h (Moyle 2011). Segundo Moyle, há uma distinção entre vogais longas e extensão da vogal, mas também os padrões de tonicidade ao dizer palavras diferentes. Moyle diz que muitas vezes se encontram pessoas que pronunciam as mesmas palavras com uma vogal entre tais consoantes. Também existem formas expandidas de palavras diferentes quando usadas em músicas.

Vogais
De acordo com Richard Moyle, do livro de gramática e dicionário Takuu, as vogais que estão no idioma Takuu consistem em: a, e, i, o, u.

Ele também afirmou afirmou que as vogais altas / u / e / i / são pronunciadas como deslizamentos / w / e / j / respectivamente, especialmente quando precedem a vogal fechada / a / ou quando / u / precede / i /.

Gramática

Ordem das palavras
A ordem básica das palavras no idioma Takuu é Sujeito-Objeto-Verbo
"Naa tama raa ku honusia ttai". → A maré submergiu as pessoas
"Aku karamata e ausia te au". → A fumaça é irritante para meus olhos.

Reduplicação
O idioma Takuu também usa reduplicação em seu idioma. É mostrado principalmente dentro de seus verbos. Eles usam a reduplicação como um marcador de ação repetida. O exemplo abaixo é para ilustrar um exemplo de algumas das palavras que usam reduplicação.
Verbos de exemplo:
    kata     kata-kata         apuru    apurupuru
   riso      rindo             afundar  afundando

Moyle também declara que, "em Takuu, a maioria dos verbos concorda em número com o plural de sujeitos, reduplicando a primeira sílaba da raiz. Existem exceções: alguns verbos têm apenas uma forma. Quando a primeira sílaba é reduplicada, a vogal é omitida, formando uma consoante inicial do geminado. No entanto, entre os falantes mais antigos, a reduplicação da sílaba é mantida. Também é rotineiramente retida em canções para alcançar um número predeterminado de sílabas em uma linha poética. Os padrões básicos para reduplicação estão listados abaixo.
 Dig → "Keri"
 Servir bebidas → "Verificar"
 Dividir ao meio → "Vasi"
 Formas plurais → "Kkeri", "Ttaki", "Vvasi"
Quando a consoante inicial é h, ela muda para f na forma plural.
 Quebrar → "coração"
 Dobrar → "rígido"
 Deslocar → "parar"
 Engulir → "lavar"
 Derrubar → "mudar"
 Formas plurais → "ffati", "ffuri", "ffiti", "fforo", "ffuri"
As consoantes geminadas são usadas quando o verbo começa com uma vogal.
 Saber → "saber", * Forma plural → "illoa"
Os verbos com três sílabasque começam com uma consoante e têm r como segunda consoante marcarma forma plural alterando r para ll (Moyle, 2011).
 Pressionar → "tuureki", * Forma plural → "tulleki"
 Chamar → "karana", * Forma plural → "kallana"
No caso de verbos com consoante inicial r, isso também muda para l (Moyle, 2011).
 Proteger → "rorosi", forma plural → "lollosi"
 Encontrar → "faça"
 Forma plural → "llave"
A reduplicação também é um recurso de frases em que a ação do verbo se refere a muitos ou todos os itens disponíveis que estão como sujeitos ou objetos.
"Maatau"→ Pescar com linha.
"Mamattau"→ Muitos homens pescando dessa maneira.
"Kape"→ Levantar e remover com um implemento agrícola.
"Kapekkape"→ idem vários itens com um implemento.

Numerais
Os Takuu usam um sistema de contagem numérica de base 10. A língua Takuu possui um sistema único de contagem de palavras, como qualquer outra língua do mundo, mas usa palavras diferentes para contar coisas diferentes. O sistema Takuu não possui um conjunto de palavras, mas muitos conjuntos diferentes de palavras. De acordo com a pesquisa de Richard Moyle sobre a língua Takuu, eles têm palavras para contar cardeais, moedas, malhas, cocos e pedras, peixes, comprimento de cordas, comprimento de madeiras, seres humanos e canoas. Segundo Moyle, o sistema de contagem da língua Takuu se estende de 1 a 1000 (Moyle, 2011).

Vocabulário

Vocabulário nativo
Vender → "Taavi"
Palha →"Kaha"
Sombra → "Shade"
Severo → "Mahi"
Ondulado → "Mana"
Caminho → "Ava"
Guerra → "Uoo"

Extinção
Embora atualmente o Takuu não seja considerado seriamente ameaçado, pois é falado vigorosamente em toda a ilha, está se tornando cada vez mais ameaçado, pois um número cada vez maior de habitantes da ilha está deixando a ilha por causa de dificuldades econômicas e do impacto das mudanças climáticas e do aumento do nível do mar. Muitas das gerações mais jovens de Takuu que vivem no exterior não usam mais o Takuu nas conversas diárias, enquanto a população da própria ilha está se esgotando cada vez mais. A ativista de Takuu Raroteone Tefuarani disse que ficou chocada ao ver a rápida perda de linguagem e identidade cultural entre a população de Takuu que havia sido reassentada em Buka, Bougainville em 2012. Até 2016, estima-se que existam apenas algumas centenas de residentes permanentemente em Takuu.

Filmes
Em 2006, uma equipe de cineastas (Briar March e Lyn Collie) visitou o atol duas vezes, "fazendo um documentário que registra a cultura e a vida no atol e examina a possibilidade de a comunidade ter que se mudar para o continente de Bougainville se a situação física piorar. " A segunda filmagem em 2008 foi filmada por Scott Smithers e John Hunter. Seus filmes ajudaram as pessoas a capturar como as pessoas de Takuu vivem seu dia-a-dia. Briar, Lyn, Scott e John descobriram que o povo Takuu reside em "casas de palha tradicionais que ficam em filas lotadas, tão próximas umas das outras que os beirais quase se tocam. Existem poucas árvores na ilha além dos coqueiros, e a rua principal serve como marae, um espaço para cerimônias rituais. " A música é uma parte fundamental de sua vida e por causa de seus "longos períodos de isolamento"; muitas das canções, histórias e danças indígenas sobreviveram até hoje. Isso mostra que o povo Takuu valoriza muito suas práticas indígenas e crenças religiosas. Embora existam numerosas igrejas estabelecidas em Nukutoa, elas não pareciam se dar ao trabalho de promover sua cultura antiga por uma nova, tornando-as uma cultura independente. Assim como o idioma havaiano usa uma dança chamada Hula para contar histórias, os Takuu usam o lado musical de seu idioma para contar histórias de "viagens entre as ilhas, bem como celebrações de relacionamentos bem-sucedidos, sejam eles relacionamentos que unam famílias extensas, em atividades produtivas ou relacionamentos que ligam as pessoas com seus ancestrais em tempos de necessidade "através de canções.

If Dailey had buried his plunder, what had J. H. left to do? But had he buried it? Collins smiled. It was not likely he had handed it over to anybody else to hide for him. And yet He clapped his hand down on his knee. "By the jumping California frog, I've got it!" he told himself. "They hid the bulk of what they got from the Limited all together. Went out in a bunch to hide it.
At the city park four nights after this outrage, only one arrest for street speaking having occurred in the meantime, the aroused citizens of Everett met to hear Attorney E. C. Dailey, T. Webber, and various local speakers deal with the situation, and to view at first hand the wounds of Ovist, Henig and other towns people who had been injured.
Walker C. Smith - The Everett massacre
A history of the class struggle in the lumber industry
Hawkes found his friend leaning against the back of the hack, his revolver smoking in his hand. "For God's sake, Val!" screamed Hawkes. "Did they get you?" "Punctured my leg. That's all. But I expect they'll get Dailey." "How come you to go out when I signaled you to stay?" "Signaled me to stay, why " Collins stopped, unwilling to blame his friend.
Attorneys E. C. Dailey, Robert Fassett, and George Loutitt, along with a number of other fair minded members who did not favor the open shop program, withdrew from membership on account of these various actions. Their names were placed on the bulletin board and a boycott advised.
A little later an investigation committee composed of Rev. Oscar McGill of Seattle, and Rev. Elbert E. Flint, Rev. Jos. P. Marlatt, Jake Michel, Robert Mills, Ernest Marsh, E. C. Dailey, Commissioner W. H. Clay, Messrs. Fawcett, Hedge, Ballou, Houghton and others from Everett, made a close examination of the grounds.
Chief counsel Fred H. Moore, serious, yet with a winning smile occasionally chasing itself across his face and adding many humorous wrinkles to the tired-looking crow-feet at the corners of his eyes; next to him George F. Vanderveer, a strong personality whose lightning flashes of wit and sarcasm, marshalled to the aid of a merciless drive of questions, were augmented by a smile second only to Moore's in its captivating quality; then E. C. Dailey, invaluable because of his knowledge of local conditions in Everett and personages connected with the case; and by his side, at times during the trial, was H. Sigmund, special counsel for Harry Feinberg.
I thought it was very slack of 'em in Lynn not to fetch her to the old place; but when I came to hear about it, I learned that they'd recently put up a very elegant monument, and my sister Dailey was always great for show. She'd just been out to see the monument the week before she was taken down, and admired it so much that they felt sure of her wishes."

Both hands of the big clock on the wall pointed to twelve when Hawkes appeared again in the doorway at the rear of the Gold Nugget. With a wink at Collins, he made straight for the cocktail he thought he needed. "Now," said the sheriff, and immediately he and Dailey passed through the back door. Instantly two shots rang out. Collins lurched forward to the ground, drawing his revolver as he fell.
Out of its sardonic, devil-may-care face gleamed malevolent eyes which rested for a moment on Dailey, before they came home to the sheriff. "And what is it Leroy would never do?" a gibing voice demanded silkily. Scott pulled himself together and tried to bluff, but at the look on his chief's face the words died in his throat.
The superb contempt of the man, his readiness to give the sheriff a chance to pump out of Dailey all he knew, served to warn Collins that his life was in imminent danger. On no hypothesis save one that Leroy had already condemned them both to death in his mind could he account for such rashness.


KIGALI, Rwanda, 18 January 2018 : The Government of Rwanda, together with the United Nations Development Programme and with support from the Republic of Korea official launched a web-based Center of Excellence to share knowledge relevant to the promotion and achievement of locally-developed solutions to global environmental challenges. The centre of excellence was launched at a high-level National Forum on Knowledge Sharing for Inclusive and Sustainable New Community Development in Kigali.
The Online Centre of Excellence was set up and is managed by the Rwanda Green Fund, an automous body set up by the Government of Rwanda to invest in the best public and private projects that have the potential for transformative change and that align with Rwanda's commitment to building a strong green economy. The programme has been operational since 2016 through a series of workshops that were organized to gather and share knowledge needs and preliminary expectations and to build capacities in knowledge sharing among key stakeholders.
Hubert Ruzibiza, Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Green Fund, said he hopes the knowledge sharing platform will help facilitate the exchange of available knowledge on tools and practices and connect different institutions, organizations, and individuals generating knowledge for sustainable development.
Through capturing, documenting and facilitating dialogue around both successes and failures, the Online Centre of Excellence will be able to feed into the development dialogues taking place in neighbouring countries, said Fodé Ndiaye, United Nations Resident Coordinator and Resident Representative of UNDP.
Kim Eung Joong, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Rwanda, said the genesis of the project was a multi-country initiative based on a form of community-driven local development in Korea called Saemaul Undong (SMU), which is based on the principles of diligence, self-help and cooperation towards transformed communities with a long-term shared vision of a better life for all through small-scale self-help projects.
"UNDP and the Republic of Korea partnered to promote the SMU-inspired Inclusive and Sustainable New Communities (ISNC) programme in six countries: Rwanda, Uganda, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Bolivia," he said, adding that the Rwanda experience was the only one of the six to involve the development of a virtual platform to facilitate knowledge management and sharing.
The Rwandan Center of Excellence It is now being assessed as a best practice for lessons that can be leveraged and applied elsewhere, said Simona Marinescu, Director of UNDP's Development Impact Group in New York, which oversaw implementation of the ISNC programme.
In line with this vision, a delegation from UNDP Uganda attended the launch in Kigali to assess the possibility of establishing a similar Center of Excellence based on the Rwanda experience.
Innocent F. Ejolu, Team Leader of the Institutional Effectiveness Programme at UNDP Uganda, said he is impressed at the enormous strides Rwanda has made in various aspects of its development, and hopes the FONERWA Centre of Excellence will be able to help the country to document this experience so that it can be shared with others.
