Thank you for selecting information on the Belford/Sionside Auxiliary Unit Patrol and their Operational Base in Northumberland. The info and images below have been supplied by CART's Northumberland CIO Stephen Lewins.
This Auxiliary Unit O.B. is sited west of the village of Belford in Northumberland near to the farm at Sionside. It is located in some woods to the NW of the main farm area. Like most of the Northumberland O.B.s it follows the standard "elephant style" construction. The site is on the high ground above a stream to the north again for water in the event of long periods hiding out. The marker for the O.B. is a single tree to the south of the site, when lined up with a large boulder in the tree line the O.B. is directly ahead.
The O.B. is in reasonable condition and thought to be the best in Northumberland. The main entrance pipe and internal blast wall are all in tact as is the bolt hole entrance. The bolt hole tunnel has collapsed since the last visit. It is in a dark and dry location and should last a few years yet.
Again this site was built by the 184 (s) Tunnelling Company R.E.
A1 England - Scotland main raod. East coast main railway line. Belford - Wooler east - west road. Holy Island Causeway. The HQ and camps of the 51st Highland Division and the Somerset Light Infantry who both had camps for retraining near Belford.
Unknown, but it is assumed that they would have access to the "standard" Auxiliary weapons of a Browning Automatic Rifle, a Thompson Machine Gun and two Enfield rifles.
Thanks to B. Ricalton for his help with this project.


Nothing can transform a room as quickly and effectively as a well thought out, beautifully designed window treatment. Window treatments don`t just dress up a window; they`ll also tone in with the shades and textures of your furniture and flooring. Whether you`re trying to create a look that`s casual or formal, whimsical or elegant, innovative or traditional, the right window treatment will go a long way toward creating the distinctive look and ambiance you`re aiming for.
If you`d like to update your living spaces, then adding new blinds, curtains or window shades can help you to modernize the most outdated room. Here are a few of today`s most fashionable decorator trends in window treatments.
If you`ve been looking at model showcase homes recently, you`ve probably noticed that at least one room will have wood grain blinds covering the windows. Today, wood grain blinds are more popular than ever and can be found in a variety of woods. In past years, bamboo was especially popular, not only because it`s a relatively inexpensive and sustainable wood, but also because of its lightweight texture. Within the last several years, however, decorators have started to favor wood grains such as birch, maple, cherry and mahogany.
Decorators are also enthusiastic about some of the newer wood grain blinds with woven accents reminiscent of grass or bamboo reeds. These look especially decorative in a casual, airy room with lightweight wood and wicker furnishings.
Vertical blinds continue to be popular with homeowners and decorators alike. Seen from a distance, vertical blinds give a first impression of sharply pleated curtains and for many homeowners they offer far more visual appeal than traditional horizontal blinds. Vertical blinds are available in both wood grains and fabrics and are made to fit just about any shape or size of window.
If you think that velvets and brocades are only suitable for the inhabitants of Downton Abbey, then think again. Today`s decorators are waxing enthusiastic over the most luxurious silks, crushed velvets and damasks, even for the smallest of areas.
Luxury window fabrics can dress up the plainest room and make it sparkle with rich jewel tones. Just add a few gold fringed tassels and your room will be fit for royalty. If you prefer, you can also opt for a more contemporary feel by choosing luxury window treatments made of faux fur, suede or leather.
Pencil pleat curtains are back in style and more popular than ever. With their thin, soft precision pleats, they add texture and a touch of traditional elegance to any window.
You may associate pencil pleat curtains with your grandmother`s house, but today`s pencil pleat styles are made in modern, no-wrinkle fabrics and colors. Best of all, they require very little maintenance, so you don`t have to worry about ironing those tiny pleats all day the way that your ancestors did.
If you`re thinking about buying shades, it`s time to go for the bold choices. Shades are hot right now, especially in big floral, striped and geometric prints that are reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s. Relatively inexpensive compared to other window treatments, brightly patterned shades can bring a welcome deluge of color that will liven up even the most boring, monochromatic room.
Whether you`re looking at pencil pleat curtains or other fashionable designs, make sure that you choose something that you like and will enjoy living with. In the end, the most modern trends may not appeal to you and you may prefer something more traditional. The good news is that with the wide variety of materials, styles and colors available, you`re sure to find whatever you`re looking for, whether it`s a traditional, softly billowing pencil pleat curtain or a heavy, luxurious royal purple brocade complete with gold tassels.
Once you have designed your new or remodeled kitchen, it`s time to make some crucial decisions on choices that will impact your kitchen`s look, design layout and overall functionality. The right cooker is essential to your new kitchen. Before you commit, go over the features and styles available so you find the stove that will meet all your needs.
Most stoves come in various colors, so you should be able to find the cooker with the features you want in a color that will complement your design scheme. Basic neutral tones, such as black or white, will work in just about any kitchen. Consider sticking to these neutral tones if you`re a frequent remodeler, as neutral colors will fit into more design styles than more rare ones.
If you think you want to keep your kitchen`s new design for a long time, you can go with a stove in a more unusual color, such as red, black or stainless steel. While stainless steel appliances are common now, the silver may not be in certain design schemes.
The basic energy type you`ll have to pick between is gas and electric. Both have their own pros and cons. If you have pre-existing hookups, you may want to stick to the type of stove your kitchen has the connections for. Budget-wise, which type will cost you less to run depends on the cost of electricity and gas in your area.
Gas cookers offer more control over the heat, especially in the oven, than electric cookers do. However, electric stoves are often easier to clean and cost less than gas stoves.
Once you`ve decided the energy type for your new cooker, you`ll need to choose a design. The three most common designs are the slide-in range, which fits between two cabinets but doesn`t have finished sides, the freestanding range, which has finished sides and the drop-in range, which is built right into your cabinets.
Your design choice must fit into your kitchen`s layout and design scheme. The cooker should not take up too much space or be difficult to get around after installation. Measure your stove space multiple times so you know how much room you have to play with and don`t end up with a cooker that won`t fit into your kitchen.
Ovens come in conventional, convection and combinations of both as far as the internal heating structure goes. Conventional ovens use the heat generated by the energy source and natural airflow to heat foods, while electric convection ovens use a fan system to heat food more quickly. Combination ovens use elements of both heating types and do cook food faster than conventional ovens.
Consider your particular cooking needs when you`re deciding on a heating element type. Convection ovens do heat quickly and many users experience a lot of trial and error when it comes to determining the proper cooking time. If you`re not cooking for a lot of people or are often distracted while you`re making dinner, a conventional oven may be a better choice for you. If you`re planning on larger cooking sessions on occasion, consider a combination oven.
Depending on your particular cooking needs and your kitchen`s design, a wall oven might be an option. You can pair the wall oven with a cooktop instead of choosing a more traditional cooker. Wall ovens and cooktops take up less space, so if you`re concerned about room, look into both of these options. Cooktops can be built into countertops or kitchen islands, giving you functional cooking and prepping space.
Research features and prices, such as timers, before you make your final choice. Many stove models, such as the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe, come with electronic baking features for the oven.

IV (inserimento canti Veda parte 1) 13:10
V (inserimento canti Veda parte 2) 07:43
The body of the absent is made up of the word body-absent.
What does remain of the man-structure (as an event) in the temporality of a space?
This sound exercise asks to itself: what does the subject leave after its passage, manifesting itself in a place or space?
CORPORE ABSENS is like a snail slime, a residue, an inorganic passage, a fragment without will, an excrement.
It is the effect of no longer staying where you were; the subject continually tears in its every moment or instant, place and dialectic.
Quoting Spinoza: "the mind does not recognize his own body or
itself, if not for the affections of one and the other ".
Feeling nothing specific, nothing that speaks of life, when it is not hindered.
Body and subject are at the contemplation of the moment, getting lost in symbolism in its dialectic, without intuition.
Space or place, temporal container of a fact or a life.
Ambience not necessarily resonant.
In its vanishing, the body deposits its contemplation in the moment, losing its dialectic and the symbolism.
The flow of things or events is isolated, frozen from the general context of lack of time or space, making the relationship between object and subject, between space and time, disappear, erasing the concept of reason.
The remains of the passage of an event, amplified fragments that contradict themselves in their actions.
Plato mentioned that "things of this world that our senses perceive have no real construct in their being, because they always become by changing, but they never ARE, reaching only one being which is relative, therefore certainly lacking ".
That lacking becomes present and obsessive in the "Coretti" (cover art) frescoed by Giotto in 1300 in the Scrovegni chapel in Padua, the only two "ABSENT" parts of the entire biblical pantheon frescoed by Giotto; spaces frozen and connected to each other, the nocturnal and diurnal alternated in the time cycle representing the human, but nothing more.
Suspended environments where everything has yet to happen or perhaps has already happened, organic expectations that return to the inorganic that is their silence.
- Insertion of Veda chants pt 1-2
From this changing appearance arise, in the last two chapters of the album, even chants from the Vedantic indian tradition, traditional mantra from the sacred text of the Upanishads, that describe the universe and the human experience dividing themselves between Atman as "true knowledge" and the knowledge of Maya as"not true knowledge" and so ILLUSION, returning to the echo or the resonance of the body as an absence in a precise place or space of a disappeared or hoped entity.
released December 19, 2021
Fieldrecording, tape recorder, analogue recorders, filters and missing moments...
Mastered by: Anacleto Vitolo
Available in a Limited Edition of 100 4-Page Digipack CDs.
Alessandro Ragazzo was born in Mestre (VE) on January 22, 1980.
He began his first experiments on tape in 1994.
After years of digital approach and reading in the field of concrete music and collaborations, he finds strong analogies of spirit and sensation with Romantic literature (Novalis, Büchner) and experimentation sound; he carries out in-depth studies on Arthur Schopenhauer struck by the book "The world as Will and Representation", applying the study to his next sound interventions.
Abandoning the digital method, he embraces the analogue, moving to an approach more linked to the use of tape reproduction, crumbling and disrupting the landscape in question.
The raw materials of the live set by Alessandro Ragazzo are mixers, distortions and everything that can be connected analogically, tape recorders, walkman, mp3 players, microphones, plants, extinct moments.
Particularly interested in the practice of Fieldrecording, continuously recording daily life and its noises, those that the nature vastly offers.
In 2014 his first album 'Strati' was released.
In 2015 releases the digital album "Lagoon Submerged" for the Portuguese label Green Field Recordings.
In 2017 for the independent label Setola di Maiale comes out with the album 'Terra d'Umbra', the final result of a speech that Alessandro Ragazzo left pending in the previous album "Strati".
The non-place in the noise starts from the end of the album with a
homage to the romantic anti-hero character in Georg Buchner's short and unfinished novel, 'Lenz'.
In the first months of 2020, a conceptual-field recording work was released for the Portuguese company SONOSPACE about the city of Naples.
Also in 2020 produces a two-track tape titled "Twin Landscape".
Abu-l-Hasan al Nuri primitive saint Sufi writes: 'they possess nothing and are possessed by nothing'. These are the basis of the new and first album (2020) for the new DISSIPATIO label, entitled "Five studies on the landscape", as an idea of emptying the soundscape in its concept and also in its practice, a laboratory of environmental recordings and sampling.
Alessandro Ragazzo works for the cancellation of meaning narrative, the deposition of the real and the logical; attempt to exclude from representation, to strip life and will through noise; five missing landscapes, fragments of experiences that have already passed to be
continuously broken down and reassembled in the immediate vanished or hoped for.
Alessandro Ragazzo has collaborated on the national territory with many interventions as in the case of Luciano Berio foundation in Florence, and the Setup Art Fair in Bologna with the Area of Bustle project.
Intervention sound in 2014 for the "STRATI" project at the Luciano Berio foundation in Florence.
Soundproofing in 2016 and live at the Taiwan Biennale pavilion in Venice for the artist Yang Maolin, and the Ascolto Osceno project for
Navi (2018) at Palazzo Roncalli in Vigevano for the meeting on the soundscape for FKL;
(2019) At MACRO contemporary art museum in Rome brings live 'tapes only'.
In July 2020 he enters residence for two weeks for Artarcadia of Derry, (Northern Ireland).
In 2021 a cycle of interventions opens sound on personal naturalistic spaces with the name of 'Sound project for missed places'

Editor's Notebook: Northern Light
News / Pipeline / Gathering
Sometimes it's hard to know when bad news is really a blessing in disguise, at least for some. Shell has announced plans to dump its 11.4% stake in the proposed Mackenzie natural gas production and pipeline project, thus dealing another crippling, if not fatal, blow to the long-discussed northern Canada venture.
Advances In ILI Allow Assessing Unpiggable Pipelines
Technology/R&D / Integrity
Advances in inline inspection (ILI) tools and other inspection technology today allow for detailed assessment of unpiggable or difficult-to-pig pipelines. In pipe systems considered unpiggable or difficult-to-pig, hydrotesting has been the primary fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment methodology. While regulatory compliance may be achieved by hydrotesting some lines, such testing does not provide a complete picture of the condition of a pipeline.
Automatic Multiple Cleaning Pig Launching System Passes Test
A patented automatic multiple pig launching (AMPL) system has been developed and undergone its first commercial use. The system individually launches multiple pigs from a preloaded cassette. The system requires no modification to the existing pipeline launcher because the pig launching process is controlled by a hydraulic system incorporated with the pigs rather than by using complex pipeline on the launcher.
Can Technology Chart Safer Future For Pipelines?
While no one would ever label the natural gas pipeline industry as "high-tech," technology nevertheless is playing a major part in the industry's response to a series of deadly pipeline incidents in North America in the past 18 months. For example, today there can be a digital footprint created and stored on new pipe literally as it is being buried in the ground.

What Will Valve Industry Look Like In 2025?
Pipeline / Technology/R&D
Because industrial valves have existed since the dawn of the industrial revolution, the industry can be perceived as mature, traditional and resistant to change. Those of us in the industry know we have played a vital role in global development and evolve dynamically to adapt to industry's needs. In fact, without innovations from valve suppliers, much of the world's infrastructure could not exist, and access to essential natural resources would be impossible.

SSP Alliance Updates via Corey Goode - November 3, 2021
https://ascensionworks.tv/
The Global Galactic League of Nations declaration of independence from the ICC and associated Earth governments
Within a few days, after I had been on the last of our reconnaissance missions of the Orion Group, I was brought onboard a Mayan craft to attend a "conference call" between The SSP Alliance (not the real name for operational security) liaisons and two representatives who were at one time leaders within the secret program referred to as the Global Galactic League of Nations (not the real program name, for operation security).
The Global Galactic League of Nations (GGLN) is a very large program that is made up of participants of most of the countries of the world to some degree. After the Apollo missions to the moon, The US Government had a team of scientists and politicians approach every nation showing them geological proof from the moon that there is a cyclical solar event that would destroy our civilization. They told these nations we were overdue for the next solar event and that if it occurred on that day we could see the extinction of the human race. They then provided a solution. They called the plan the Preservation of Species program and asked every nation to contribute 1% of their gross domestic product to a global galactic league of nations that would create colonies in other star systems to ensure the preservation of humanity. This program was also offered as an incentive for these countries to keep their knowledge of the solar event and our advanced space program colonies a secret.
Gonzales and I were introduced to Raymond (Director of Science and Technology Development) and Anya (Director of Colonial Security), who served with the Global Galactic League of Nations in one of their most remote colony outposts at the edge of our galaxy. Both of the GGLN representatives were caucasian and in their late 50's or early 60's and were dressed in dark blue jumpsuits that had all military designation patches removed.
Anya then gave a brief description of the history of the GGLN and the hardships participants went through as they were sent to various star systems to set up colonies in the program's "Preservation of Species" mandate. They were sent to undeveloped planets to begin developing our cities and infrastructure that mirrored what we see on Earth fairly closely. Over decades of development, the cities and the population grew steadily and were replications of cities you would find on earth.

New Secret Space Program Whistleblower - Daryl Talks About His '20 and Back' Career with Solar Warden and Dark Fleet
Daryl was recruited into the secret space program where he worked with Kruger, Solar Warden, Dark Fleet and the Taygeteans. His military career began in January of 1999 when he joined the Navy to serve in the naval mobile construction battalion 7 where he served in the middle east and as well as two years of service at the JMF Joint Maritime Force/ RAF Royal Airforce base at the Saint Mawgan Base in the UK. During this time, he escorted executives into the underground portion of the base; where he encountered grey extraterrestrials and exotic technology which could scan his bio signs. He also encountered Michael Aquino, little people in cages, and had an argument with a reptilian that resulted in a forced slavery punishment in the mines on the moon and then was forced to swat bugs on Mars.
Not all of his experiences were bad, for five days he was granted German citizenship on their home world and even given a German wife which almost never happens for Americans. At the end of his service, he was debriefed through looking glass technology and was told some things that would happen in the future including civil unrest and him appearing on a show called Super Soldier Talk. Daryl will also like to share a summary of the notes from his SSP regression memories.

#MassArrests Update via MilSpecOpsMonkey - " record numbers of military aircraft" - November 28th, 2020
monkeywerxus.com
Over the past few weeks, record numbers of military aircraft have taken to the skies over the United States. Normally, we see a number in the 250 range but the increase had us in the 1600+ range for several days. It is important to note that the military doesn't always "squawk" on a transponder we can see, so the numbers are likely much higher.
In addition to this, there has been an uptick in the flight activity for known "farm birds" to black sites (shown in the picture above). Which, historically in the past, this was an indication we were about to see something big hit the news (e.g Epstein, Maxwell, etc). This "surge" however, seems to be continuing on like a never-ending gobstopper. Five aircraft are responsible for nearly 100 flights in just a few weeks.
Combine the two activities, and one could come to the conclusion we are about to see something go down that will certainly be historical in nature.
What does it all mean? I am looking at this from three different possible scenarios:
People involved in the voting fraud are being pursued
Members of the terrorist organization(s) BLM and ANTIFA are being pursued and/or human traffickers
A combination of both
I say this because of several reasons. First and foremost, we know of the Dominion server that was apprehended in Germany just a few days after the election and we know the CIA is heavily involved in this activity. We have also witnessed the DOJ aircraft head to Toronto, Canada - also another home of the Dominion company. In addition to this, we have certain individuals who work for Dominion that have disappeared. Indicating they are either in hiding or they have been taken for a ride on one of our Ops birds. Given the magnitude of the crime, the need for a timely resolution, and this flurry of black site activity butted up against this event, I am inclined to say this is likely scenario #1 we are seeing unfold. However, it doesn't fully account for the military birds.
That said, I have heard there are over 7000 cyber teams engaged in investigating this crime as well. Question is, are they military assets or civilian? Either way, more than likely they would be flying on a mix of commercial and military aircraft - assuming they are boots on the ground. If it is civilian, then the vast number of military aircraft wouldn't be connected.

UFO in Salt Lake City 06.13.2007 Video UFO in Salt Lake City 06.13.2007 ?
A strange object seen in the skies above in Salt Lake City has residents scratching their heads.
Salt Lake Air Traffic Control said they didn't pick up the object on radar and had no knowledge of the ca. 200-foot-long (60m) craft.
Looks like a zepellin(blimp) to me.
But it's moving very fast for an air-ballon.
Especially when it's going down behind the rooftop at 8:10 or the tree at the end of the video.

It takes a bit of work to get to Fern Canyon, but you'll be glad you went to the trouble. From Highway 101 at Orick, drive unpaved Davison Road 10 miles to this a hidden paradise of ferns lining a narrow gorge carved out by Home Creek in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Some of the seven different types of ferns clinging to the steep cliffs are ancient species, with ancestry tracing back 325 million years. Living underneath their leafy shade are some eye-catching amphibians, including Pacific giant salamanders, which can measure nearly a foot long.
The trail follows a series of small footbridges (installed in summer) deep into the canyon. Drooping ferns create hanging gardens, miniature waterfalls pour down rock faces, and moss wallpapers every surface. The walls grow taller and squeeze tighter as you travel.
If you think this looks familiar, it's probably becaus you saw the Steven Spielberg movie, Jurassic Park II, which includes a scene filmed within this canyon. Every curve and turn leads to another amazing view. Far too soon, the trail curves left and ascends out of the canyon, then loops back to the parking lot. More than a few Fern Canyon hikers choose to retrace their steps instead of continuing on the loop—it's just too hard to leave this special place (and it is only a one-mile loop trail).
Remember, it's wet here on this trail. When hiking Fern Canyon, river sandals or waterproof boots are recommended.
Prairie Creek State Park has 75 miles of trails, ranging from a 0.1-mile stroll to see Big Tree (at mile marker 127.96 on the Newton B. Drury Parkway) to multiday backpacking journeys. A chart in the park brochure lists the options. Bring water, appropriate clothing, and a park map.

Stephen Starr Eyes Bowery Space Next to Pearl & Ash

Share All sharing options for: Stephen Starr Eyes Bowery Space Next to Pearl & Ash
Stephen Starr photo
The latest Community Board 2 agenda lists a new liquor license application from the Starr Restaurant Group at 222 Bowery, which is the space directly next to Noho hot spot Pearl & Ash. A rep for mega-restaurateur Stephen Starr tells Eater that he is looking at the space for a potential new restaurant with Joe Carroll, of Fette Sau and St. Anselm. As you may recall, the two restaurateurs opened a location of Fette Sau in Philly not too long ago.
No word yet on what the theme of this new place will be, but Starr's camp says that they are not planning a barbecue restaurant on the Bowery. Of course, nothing is set in stone just yet. Starr and his team will present their plan before the CB 2 on October 8, and in an unusual twist, a group doing business under the name Sagardi USA is also applying for a license at 222 Bowery. Starr's team says that the two groups are not working together. The space currently houses Green Depot.
In other CB 2 news, the agenda also lists a liquor license application in the old Betel space on Grove Street from an "entity to be formed by Jody Williams." Presumably, this is the same chef/restaurateur that operates Buvette down the block. An employee at Ms. Williams's restaurant tells Eater that this is "pure speculation" at this point, and that the chef has not announced any future plans yet. Ms. Williams just opened a location of her French restaurant in Paris.

Andrea Mitchell to Pence: 'You Broke Precedent' Attacking Dems to the Troops
Tuesday on MSNBC, NBC News' Andrea Mitchell interviewed Vice President Mike Pence in Jerusalem and questioned him about getting political on a military base.
Partial transcript as follows:
MITCHELL: On this trip, you, in front of Israeli television and standing next to a foreign leader, slammed Senator Schumer by name for the shutdown. Was that appropriate?
PENCE: Well the reailty is that this was as an unnecessary government shutdown and the American people know it. Fortunately, President Trump stood firm, Republicans in the House and Senate stood firm and 81 members of the Senate came together to reopen the government and allow us to begin to move forward with the priorities this country really should be dealing with. First and foremost, a long-term spending bill will allow us to increase funding on our military at a level that we haven't been able to do so for many, many years, fund critical domestic priorities and now, we are also going to be able to move on to the issue of DACA, the issue of a border wall, the issue of immigration reform. But it was important for us to set the record straight. The Schumer shutdown failed. The American people know it and I thought it was the right time for me to make that—
MITCHELL: You don't think you were being too political when you broke precedent and on a military base overseas, forward base, you told the troops that it was the Democratic minority responsible for the shutdown?
PENCE: I said there was a minority in the Senate. But Andrea, I was standing in front of Americans in uniform. Americans who every hour of the day are taking off and flying sorties in the fight against ISIS, and they were people who were facing a question of whether they were going to be paid, whether they and their families were going to get the benefits they earn. I wanted them to know President Trump and I were standing with them, fighting for them and we were going to get the government reopened and we were going to stand with them every step of the way.
MITCHELL: Correct, you did say the minority in the Senate to them and clearly you were talking about the Democrats. It was a political statement. You have been criticized for that.
PENCE: I just thought it was important. Here are Americans in uniform on a far distant battlefield defeating the ISIS enemy in record time. It's extraordinary to think of the progress we have made against ISIS in the last year—98% of the territory that ISIS had taken down over the last year, by exactly those soldiers I was standing amongst. I wanted them to know that whatever was happening in Washington, D.C., the commander in chief had their back and we were going to make sure this government reopened, they and their families got the benefits they deserve and we welcome the bipartisan effort in the Senate, the strong support in the House to do just that.

Schumer: Dems Came to the View That 'People Don't Want the Government Shut Down for' DREAMers
byIan Hanchett23 Jan 20180
23 Jan, 2018 23 Jan, 2018
On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the Democrats in the Senate "came to the view that" if the government shutdown continued, the country would lose support for the shutdown and for the DREAMers because people "don't want to the government shut down for" DREAMers.
Schumer said Democrats "advanced the cause."
He continued that Democrats don't control the levers of power and have to be strategic in how they push for DACA protection.
He added that while President Trump shut the government down, "all of us in the Democratic caucus, not just the moderates, but the liberals as well, came to the view that if we carried it on much longer, two things would happen: A. No one would budge. The public would lose support of the shutdown. The public does not like shutdowns. And we'd actually lose support for DREAMers, too. Because people love the DREAMers, but don't want the government shut down for it. So, we cut the best deal that we could."

FNC's Baier: Opinion Side of Fox News Has No Problem Getting Interviews with Trump, But the News Side Is a Different Story
During a discussion with the Washington Post on Tuesday, Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier stated that while FNC's "opinion side" has had no problems getting interviews with the president, the news side has had problems getting interviews with the president.
Baier said [relevant remarks begin around 15:00] that the news side of FNC is in the same position as all the other networks in trying to get interviews with the president. He added, "The opinion side of Fox News does not have a problem getting interviews. But my request, Chris Wallace's request for an interview with the president has not been answered. And I last interviewed candidate Trump almost 500 days ago, and have asked every week since, for an interview, sometimes twice a week, and have — you know, I've seen him off the record a couple of times at engagements, and he said, 'It's going to happen very soon.'"

Press release: PM commits to government-wide drive to tackle loneliness
Today (Wednesday 17 January) the Prime Minister will set out how government is tackling loneliness and combating social isolation.
She will announce that the government is accepting a series of recommendations from the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness.
The Prime Minister will host a reception at Downing Street to celebrate Jo Cox's legacy, and the important work of her family, Foundation and the Commission in highlighting how many people are experiencing loneliness.
Research shows:
more than 9 million people always or often feel lonely
around 200,000 older people have not had a conversation with a friend or relative in more than a month
up to 85% of young disabled adults – 18-34 year olds – feel lonely
Ahead of the reception, the Prime Minister paid tribute to Jo Cox, her family and to those working for the Foundation and Commission for highlighting the issue.
The Prime Minister said:
For far too many people, loneliness is the sad reality of modern life.
I want to confront this challenge for our society and for all of us to take action to address the loneliness endured by the elderly, by carers, by those who have lost loved ones – people who have no one to talk to or share their thoughts and experiences with.
Jo Cox recognised the scale of loneliness across the country and dedicated herself to doing all she could to help those affected.
So I am pleased that government can build on her legacy with a ministerial lead for loneliness who will work with the Commission, businesses and charities to shine a light on the issue and pull together all strands of government to create the first ever strategy.
Speech: PM speech at V&A reception: 18 January 2018
I am delighted to welcome you to the world-famous V&A this evening – a jewel in the crown of Britain's culture. And now, like so much of Britain, further enriched by a French contribution – with Alice Dietsch as Project Director for the development of the stunning Exhibition Road Quarter which opened last Summer. And I am very pleased that Alice joins us here this evening, together with British architect Amanda Levete, whose practice delivered the whole project.
This evening marks the culmination of the 35th Franco-British Summit.
Traditionally this Summit has focused on our security and defence partnership. And it is right that today we have deepened that partnership further.
And of course we meet in the year that marks a century since the end of the First World War, when our troops fought side-by-side in defence of our shared belief in freedom and resistance against aggression.
And today we stand together against new threats to that same shared belief in freedom. And as I said in my very first speech as Prime Minister in the British Parliament – in the aftermath of the appalling terrorist attack in Nice – "the values of liberté, égalité and fraternité will prevail."
But tonight is about even more than the defence of our shared values. It is about celebrating those values and the extraordinary depth of the people to people links between our countries.
Here in this Gallery tonight we have partners in business that make up just some of the £71 billion of trade between our countries every year.
Partners in science – from joint space programmes to joint working on genomics in the fight against cancer.
Partners in culture – for example, with your wonderful offer to bring the Bayeux Tapestry to our shores. The first time in almost a thousand years that people right here in Britain will have the opportunity to see a piece of French art that is so important to both our national stories.
Partners in sport – sharing ideas and expertise about major sporting events ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
News story: UK to step up French operations in Africa as PM and President Macron meet for UK-France Summit
The Prime Minister is expected to make the announcement as part of the UK-France Summit at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where she will discuss the UK's strong and wide-ranging bilateral relationship with President Macron.
The helicopters, which will provide logistic support to French troops, are part of a wider effort to increase stability in the Sahel region of Africa in order to tackle Islamist terrorism.
UK and French efforts in the region aim to provide greater stability, reducing the global terrorist threat and stemming the flow of illegal migration to Europe.
The UK has been a long-standing supporter of UN, EU and African Union military operations in Mali and has worked with international partners to prevent extremists from using the ungoverned space in the Sahel to plan and launch attacks on Europe, as well as counter the illegal trade in people, drugs, weapons and wildlife.
This is in addition to existing wider support to Africa including doubling our UN peacekeeping contribution with additional deployments to South Sudan and Somalia. Today the UK and France also agreed to work together to ensure EU African Peace Facility funding for AMISOM in Somalia.
The deployment of Chinooks to Mali will increase British support to France's Operation BARKHANE, in addition to strategic air transport flights already being carried out by the RAF.
British military personnel will not be involved in combat operations, but the deployment of Chinooks will provide a niche capability providing logistical support but also saving lives by avoiding the need to move troops by ground where they are more vulnerable to attack.
Alongside the military contribution, DfID will allocate £50m of additional aid including lifesaving humanitarian support for hundreds of thousands of people affected by epidemics, natural disasters and conflict across Mali, Niger, Chad, North Cameroon, Burkina Faso and Mauritania.
This will provide 320,000 people with emergency food and nutrition support and provide protection for 255,000 internally displaced people, returnees, refugees and their host communities. It will also supply clean water and better sanitation for 150,000 people.
The FCO is also exploring ways to better support the UK national interest in the region by enhancing the UK diplomatic presence.
Hundreds of cases dropped over evidence disclosure failings
The number of prosecutions in England and Wales that collapsed because of a failure by police or prosecutors to disclose evidence increased by 70% in the last two years, the BBC can reveal.
Last year, 916 people had charges dropped over a failure to disclose evidence – up from 537 in 2014-15.
It comes after recent collapsed rape cases highlighted a failure to share evidence with defence solicitors.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the justice system had "systemic" problems.
In the lead up to criminal trials, police and prosecutors have a duty to disclose evidence that might either assist the defence case or undermine the prosecution's.
However, the recent collapse of several rape cases has heightened concerns that evidence is not being disclosed early enough, and that the rules are not being followed.
'A daily struggle'
In December, the trial of Isaac Itiary, who was accused of raping a child, collapsed when new evidence came to light.
During Mr Itiary's trial, police failed to disclose messages which showed the girl, then 16 years old, had told the defendant she was 19.
The same month, the trial of Liam Allan, who faced 12 counts of rape and sexual assault, was also halted.
The case against Mr Allan was dropped when it emerged evidence on a computer disc – which police had looked through – showed messages from the alleged victim pestering him for "casual sex".
Newspapers threaten legal action for Worboys parole report
Two newspapers have threatened legal action if the Parole Board does not publish its reasons for agreeing to release convicted rapist John Worboys.
The Sun and the Daily Mail have written to the board and Justice Secretary David Gauke demanding the report.
If they do not release it within seven days, the papers have said they will apply for a judicial review.
Both the board and Ministry of Justice said they are legally prohibited from disclosing Parole Board decisions.
Cabbie who preyed on young women
Ministers won't challenge Worboys release
Former black-cab driver Worboys, 60, was jailed for a minimum term of eight years in 2009 for drugging and sexually assaulting women passengers.
After a hearing about his case in November, the Parole Board decided to approve his release with "stringent" licence conditions.
The decision was met with a furore by Worboys' victims and in Parliament.
On Tuesday Scotland Yard confirmed it is investigating a new allegation of sexual assault made against him this month – though dating back to 1997 – which could delay his release date if it leads to criminal charges.
No arrests have been made.
Worboys was transferred from high-security prison HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire to HMP Belmarsh in south-east London at the weekend – prompting fresh outrage that he may be allowed to return to the capital.
Deaf mum sues Little Mix promoter in sign language row
Eight-year-old Cate Merry and her friend Megan are big fans of Little Mix.
They've got the T-shirts, the photo albums, the CDs, can sing the songs and rock the dance routines.
So how did their love of the band lead to unprecedented legal action?
Last year, Cate's mum Sally Reynolds bought six tickets to see the band in concert on 1 September at the South of England Event Centre in Sussex.
Sally is deaf and booked for herself and two deaf friends to go with their daughters who are all able to hear.
In order that she and her two friends could fully access the performance, Sally asked the organisers, LHG Live, to provide a British Sign Language interpreter.
She was initially offered carer tickets and told that she could bring her own interpreter, but she didn't consider that met her needs or amounted to full access.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Sally explained: "We asked two or three times, please can you provide the interpreter for us, and the explanation we got back was just a 'no'.
"It didn't have any reason behind it and eventually we became so frustrated.
"I wanted to share the same experience my daughter had – essentially I just wanted access to the songs."

Keith Murray is known for lyrically dense rhymes, but he needs to get more credit for his storytelling on and off the mic. The latter was on full display when he hit The Breakfast Club for an extensive interview.
The Long Island rapper had no problem detailing his past beefs, rolling with Erick Sermon and Redman, rapping with Juice Crew when he was a teen and whether or not him and Tupac ever got into a fight.
One particular nugget that stood out was how his past beef with Dame Dash started when Murray accidentally hit Kareem "Biggs" Burke's car outside The Tunnel nightclub in New York City.
Check out 11 things we learned from Keith Murray's visit to The Breakfast Club.

How One Easy Tweak Will Give Your Writing A Designer's Edge
Leave a Comment / Design, Typography / By The Lucky Tekkie Inc. / April 12, 2021
If you're like me, you may have noticed that text can look different depending on the constraints of it's container. It's not necessarily the size of the container that makes the difference, but the text contained within that can make your writing look either professional or amateurish. This is mainly due to one phenomenon. When it comes to writing from a designer's perspective, any credible designer will avoid text that contains a widow or orphan. Changing the dimension of the container, the text size or the text altogether can alleviate them. But what exactly is a widow or orphan? I'm glad you asked.
"When it comes to writing from a designer's perspective, any credible designer will avoid text that contains a widow or orphan."
A widow or orphan in typography is a single word at the beginning or end of a paragraph, column or page that hangs out of context. A widow dangles at the bottom of a paragraph, column or page, whereas an orphan does so at the top. It dangles on its own on a single line and can give your writing an unbalanced feel. Any credible designer will avoid widow or orphan text at all cost as it gives the writing an amateurish look from a designer's perspective.
"A widow dangles at the bottom of a paragraph, column or page, whereas an orphan does so at the top."
The problem with a widow or orphan is that it draws attention away from the message because it's poorly designed. You may have noticed it, but not necessarily knew what the phenomenon was called. To solve this problem, simply adjust the text, text-size or container so that there is no less than two words at the beginning or end of the paragraph, column or page. Make it no less than three or four to achieve a more balanced state with the rest of the content.
"The problem with a widow or orphan is that it draws attention away from the message because it's poorly designed."
Widows and orphans in web design may be hard to avoid because of the responsiveness of modern designs. However, you can test your text at various widths and make adjustments for them as needed. For traditional print media such as flyers, brochures and magazines, it's easier to avoid if you pay careful attention to the design.
"…test your text at various widths and make adjustments for them as needed."
The next time you're reading from a periodical, spot to see if you can locate any widows or orphans. If you find one or many, that's a tell-tale sign that the periodical is not very focused on design. If you need some professionally designed flyers or brochures that avoids widows or orphans, contact us to complete your project.

WomenStrong International Executive Director Dr. Susan M. Blaustein Receives Asia Initiatives' Ban Ki-moon Award for Women's Empowerment
The recognition was presented by former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the 17th Annual Asia Initiatives Gala
NEW YORK (October 19, 2018) — At the 17th Annual Asia Initiatives Gala on Oct. 18, Dr. Susan M. Blaustein, founder and executive director of WomenStrong International, and Dr. Chelsea Clinton, vice-chair of The Clinton Foundation, were presented with the second annual "Ban Ki-moon Award for Women's Empowerment." Asia Initiatives, a global nonprofit organization that leverages social capital to promote sustainable development, established the award to recognize leaders for their work advocating for women and girls worldwide.
Former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the award's first honoree, presented the award, which was created in recognition of his leadership in support of women's rights and gender equity. General Ban's vision led to the creation of UN Women, the first High-Level Panel on Women's Economic Empowerment, and to his appointment of the first UN female force commander to head peacekeeping operations in Cyprus. Previous awardees include Gloria Steinem, a celebrated feminist activist; philanthropist Eva Haller; and Yue-Sai kan, an entrepreneur and producer.
In a statement, Gen. Ban said, "It is such an honor for me to be able to properly recognize these amazing women. During my tenure as Secretary-General, I always worked to make women's empowerment a top priority, and I can see that Asia Initiatives is carrying on that legacy."
As founder/executive director of WomenStrong International, Dr. Blaustein works to catalyze women-led initiatives around the world, including those in Ghana, Kenya, Haiti, India, and the United States. Similarly, Dr. Clinton, vice-chair of The Clinton Foundation, is working to empower women and girls through her efforts at the foundation and as the author of her new children's book, She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World, and the companion volume, She Persisted Around the World.
"Empowering women and girls worldwide is key to peace, to eliminating all forms of violence, and to enabling families, communities, and nations to thrive," said Dr. Blaustein. "Asia Initiatives' Ban Ki-moon Award is such an honor and such an important recognition of the brilliance and hard work of women and girls everywhere, who know best what they need to succeed and whose truthful, clarion voices deserve to be heard, now more than ever."

Women hit glass ceiling at senior board level
Women are still under-represented at senior levels of government boards.
More women are sitting on Australian government boards than ever before but the government is falling short of gender targets and women are still hitting the glass ceiling when it comes to senior board positions.
The government's 2018-19 Gender Balance on Australian Government Boards report shows that women now hold just under 48 per cent of board positions, up 2.1 per cent since June 30 2018.
However women still hold only 35 per cent of Chair and Deputy Chair positions, on par with a year ago, and the number of new female appointments dropped in the last year.
The report is prepared annually by the Office for Women to monitor the government's gender diversity targets.
The government aims to have women holding 50 per cent of government board positions overall, with men and women each holding at least 40 per cent of positions on individual boards.
The target was introduced on 1 July 2016, replacing the previous overall gender diversity target of 40 per cent.
Of the 2,313 government board positions, 109 (47.4 per cent) are currently occupied by women, the report shows.
However only 143 of the 408 chair and deputy chair positions are filled by women.
The government's 50 per cent target has been met or exceeded in Communications and Arts; Defence; Employment; Health; Industry, Innovation and Science; PMC and Social Servcies – six more than in the last reporting period.
Agriculture; Attorney-General; Defence, Education, Environment, Finance, Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs and Treasury have achieved over 40 per cent.
Infrastructure was the worst performer with only 34.6 percent and Employment was the best with almost 67 percent.
Of the 656 new appointments made last year, 52.7 per cent were women, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points.
Minister for Women Marise Payne says she's pleased to see that seven government portfolios have now reached or exceeded the 50 per cent target, with six within five percentage points off the benchmark. But she admits more needs to be done.
"While we are on track to achieve our targets, there is more we can do, particularly in increasing the representation of women in chair and deputy chair positions," she says in the report.

World Powers: How Do Electricity Costs Compare Around the World?
The cost of energy is something that touches all of us. Whether you're paying for your own residential energy use, business energy use or contributing to costs via a landlord or accommodation body, the price of each unit of energy impacts the cost of so many everyday activities - from watching TV to charging a phone to powering up an electric vehicle.
Comparing energy prices is important in ensuring you get the best deal for your home or office. But how does the price of power in the UK compare to the rest of the world?
The cost of daily power consumption
The cost of electricity is measured in kilowatt hours (KWh), equivalent to the power consumption of 1000 watts for an hour. Most appliances and electrically charged items in your home will be rated using KWh.
We took some of the most common daily energy requirements and calculated their annual KWh requirements based on average time taken per activity; these activities are:
One 8-minute shower per day
Four kettle boils per day at 3 minutes per boil
Two hours of LED TV watching per day
Seven hours of laptop energy per day, 5 days per week
Mobile phone charging for 2 hours 40 minutes per day
One three-hour washing machine cycle per week
The total cost of these activities in terms of KWh is 1,172. Let's see how the cost of 1,172 KWh compares around the world*; the table below shows the total cost in GBP from most to least expensive:
*Costs gathered in USD and converted to GBP using a rate of £0.79 to £1.00, source World Energy Council
The cost of clean; how much do we spend on our daily shower?
One daily activity that the majority of us share, no matter where in the world we are, is that of a daily shower.
Of course, showering itself requires electricity in heating the water so there is an (albeit nominal) cost associated every time we turn on the tap.
The average shower takes 8 minutes, according to data from multinational consumer goods company Unilever, which recorded 2,600 showers of 100 families over a 10-day period using state of the art data logging systems. Based on an average of one shower per day, this equates to just under 50 hours of showering per year.
Here's how much a daily shower costs around the world:
The cost of a weekly wash
The average washing machine takes three hours to complete a wash. Based on one wash per week, here's what you'll be paying for your washing each year around the world:
Cost of a cuppa
The average kettle takes three minutes to boil and - as we Brits know - there are few things better than a good cup of tea or coffee to get you through the day!
Working on the basis of four cups of tea/coffee per day, this is how much those cuppas will cost you in electricity fees around the world:
The global cost of Netflix
The average Netflix user watches two hours per day (source). The latest Netflix viewer figures show the number of subscribers per country (source).
Based on the cost per KWh of each country, the cost of two hours per day has been calculated and then multiplied by the number of subscribers in that country to reveal the cost of Netflix per country:
Laptop costs
As the world grows accustomed to working from home, the cost of laptop charging impacts so many of us. Here's how seven hours per day, five days a week of laptop charging looks in terms of electricity costs around the world:
Global cost of mobile phone charging
While the daily ritual of charging a mobile phone is commonplace for most of us, the costs vary across the world. Here are the electricity costs of charging a mobile phone for the recommended 2 hours and 40 minutes every day of the year:
How much does it cost to charge an electric vehicle?
As the UK continues to support the uptake of electric vehicles, we took the average duration of a charge at four hours, the average of 150 miles from a full charge and the average annual mileage of 10,000 miles, to calculate the cost per year of EV charges. Compare electricity prices here.
Here's how much an electric vehicle costs to charge in a year around the world:
