Revealed: EBC-backed biodiversity plan to be shredded by options B and C
ADD UPDATE, 8 December 2016: A 2002 book sponsored by Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC), which pledges to protect threatened wildlife in the fields and ancient woodland of Eastleigh, has been uncovered by ADD researchers. Should EBC proceed with proposals to build 6,000+ houses and a major new road north of Bishopstoke and Fair Oak – so-called options B and C for its Local Plan – the development would carve through the book's 'Stoke Park Priority Area', which is home to a wide range of rare species including the 'purple emperor' butterfly, dormice and lesser quaking grass (see picture above).
'Wild about Eastleigh – a biodiversity action plan for the borough', the foreword for which was written by TV naturalist Chris Packham (click here for Part One; and here for Part Two), pledged to protect every one of the threatened species – recommendations that EBC specifically promised to act upon.
Chris Packham wrote: "Safeguarding this fantastic variety of plants, birds, mammals, insects and fungi is never easy, particularly here in the south at a time when the pressures on the land are at their greatest ever. This is why Eastleigh Borough Council has taken the important step of banding together organisations and individuals who are dedicated to conserving our local wildlife to produce this book… Eastleigh covers a tiny fraction of the earth's surface yet it is still very important, particularly for those of us that live in it. We are the ones best placed to ensure that this rich community of life continues to prosper so please join us in action, because as we all know… tomorrow is too late."
If today's EBC – led by Councillor Keith House, the same man who was in charge in 2002 – decides in favour of options B and C, it would be a broken promise of monumentally irresponsible proportions.
As one example, the book (Part Two, p.53) quotes the plight of the Stoke Park Priority Area's dormice population, saying: "The dormouse is identified within the UK Biodiversity Action Plan as a species in need of priority action to halt its decline and to help restore populations. In the past 100 years it has become extinct in 7 counties and surviving populations have become more and more isolated as woodlands and linking tree cover has been grubbed up." If EBC adopts options B and C, a major new road would carve a path between two ancient woodlands, making a mockery of any promise to protect these precious woodland mice – and destroying much else besides.
In another case, the book (p.53) cites the plight of the area's quaking grass. It says: "During 2000, a population of the rare plant, lesser quaking grass was recorded from the large arable field to the north of Stoke Park Woods. This species of grass has declined considerably within the UK over the past century due to changes in farming practice and has been identified as a priority species for action in Hampshire." That "large arable field to the north of Stoke Park Woods" would be covered by the tarmac of the proposed new road.
These are just two of the threatened species. Overall, the book (p.52) singles out Stoke Park Woods, which dates back to the days of King John, as having a particularly "diverse and species-rich plant population", and gives a firm promise to protect no less than 40 species that live there. It says: "These plants are called ancient woodland indicator plants and are typical components of botanically rich ancient woodland communities."
A proposed 'action' in the book (p.54), which was backed by EBC, states: "To ensure there is no further loss or fragmentation of semi-natural habitats as a result of development, the Local Plan identifies important wildlife sites that must be protected from development."
Given Councillor House must have agreed to this book, and its actions, surely he can't now ignore it? Doesn't he have an obligation, if only a moral one, to honour the book's commitments?
If EBC goes ahead with options B and C, it would be an ecological disaster for rare flora and fauna – not only locally but nationally too. If anything has changed since 2002, it's our need to protect our environment even more vociferously. We can't allow our politicians to break their promises. We must stop this madness now.
Please join us at EBC's next full council meeting on 15 December, at which we believe councillors will – unbelievably – favour options B and C. The meeting will be held at 7.00pm at Kings Community Church, Upper Northam Road, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4BZ.

What better month to go green than March? Not only will you be saving on your energy bill each month, but you will be getting in the Saint Patrick's spirit. This week we continue to outline tips to save you, not only with your heating and cooling system but throughout your home. From Geothermal to adding solar panels, we will compile the best ways to reduce your monthly costs.
Using the natural heat available from the earth, geothermal systems are the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems. The system could also save you big on your energy bills. We have written before about Geothermal Sytems here.
If every American replaced their 5 most used bulbs with ENERGY STAR® products, we would save about $8 billion per year in energy costs. That is a huge number just from 5 lightbulbs. Next time you are out buying light bulbs be sure to buy the more efficient bulbs and save yourself a portion of the $8 billion.
Your freezer will run less when it is full and be much more energy efficient. We suggest filling it up with ice cream if you can't eat it all before the expiration date we will gladly come to help finish it off.
Breedlove Dobbs can help you to install or add to existing insulation in your attic. This insulation can save you on heating and cooling bills, and possibly qualify you for energy rebates. Give us a call if you would like to know what blown insulation could save you.
Quickly raising your heat pump's temperature activates the emergency heat setting, which uses tons of energy. We have written before about the expenses associated with using the emergency heat when it isn't necessary.
Make sure you see more tips from part 1. Or give us a call to have our team come out and give your home a custom energy inspection.


Production in industrial areas continues for 24 hours of the day. In particular, 3 shifts in the production as a result of the machine, the machine continues to operate uninterrupted. That's why warming in the environment occurs too much. This causes damage to both the machines and the products. In particular, products with mechanical systems can be damaged by overheating.
For electronic systems, therefore, the cooling of the production environment is of great importance. Thus, quality products are allowed to emerge without falling down the quota. In order to achieve all these factors together, fog nozzle systems have become very important for the industry. High efficiency, no-waste production and cost-effective high-pressure fog systems for cooling, stand out from the others.
The mist system, which is produced by using all the benefits of today's technology, has replaced all other ventilation systems. Forced air fans, pad fan cooling systems, heat exchangers, air conditioning and liquid emission systems are completely changed. Thus, thanks to the high pressure mist systems used, quality is increased, production time is minimized and a suitable working environment is achieved.
In particular, the facilities provided in this regard allow staff to work in a healthier environment. The capture of the appropriate humidity and temperature environment allows employees to perform their jobs with a higher performance. In addition, fog systems make a special contribution to reducing the amount of energy use to much lower levels.
In order to realize high quality production with a high efficiency within the specified quota, cooling systems in industrial areas are of great importance. Of course, while doing this, costs should be highlighted in long-term use. Therefore, the new generation of high-pressure fogging system with technological structure has revolutionized industrial use. Many advantages can be obtained.
When all these factors are considered, it is possible to see how important high-pressure fog systems provide.
Fog machines for machines, personnel and products that are active 24 hours a day are offered to you within our company. Mechanical and electronic products, especially in industrial areas, provide the most accurate cooling balance for machines.
The models we prepare with creative design and engineering are produced depending on the structure of your production areas. Thus, cooling is provided on the evaporation by means of water spray equal to each point taken. We provide you with the best support from production to assembly. We also offer the best service with after sales service. We are proud to be the leader of the industry with an affordable price policy, fast delivery and long-life products.


Randal Kratzer, arrested in connection with a Greeley shooting, remained in custody Tuesday pending an appearance in court.
Police arrested a 59-year-old Greeley man Tuesday afternoon in connection with a Saturday night shooting.
Police responded about 11:30 p.m. Saturday to 35th Avenue and U.S. 34 bypass in south Greeley on report of a shooting victim in the area. Officers found a vehicle in the Corner Store parking lot, 2720 35th Ave. In the vehicle, they found a man with a single gunshot wound to his upper abdomen, according to a Greeley police news release.
Authorities immediately took the man to North Colorado Medical Center in an ambulance, and he underwent surgery for his wounds, having sustained serious internal injuries. Still, he provided officers with information about the circumstances of the shooting.
He identified the shooter and the location where the shooting occurred, and officers then went to that location, which is in the 6000 block of 28th Street. Officers contacted a man and woman, who are husband and wife, at that location.
Police interviewed the couple at the Greeley Police Department about the shooting. Search warrants were obtained for the scene and the victim's vehicle to obtain evidence. Initially, the suspect, Randal Kratzer, 59, of Greeley, was released along with his wife, pending additional investigation.
About 2 p.m. Tuesday, police arrested Kratzer, having developed information and evidence that established probable cause for his arrest. He was booked into the Weld County Jail on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault, both felonies, according to the release.

Beware of Vibrio Vulnificus, the Flesh-Eating Infection Making Waves at the Beach
Urgent Care Blog
Do you enjoy swimming in the ocean and eating shellfish? You'll want to think twice about indulging in those activities now that Florida health officials are warning about a flesh-eating disease that is thriving in our warm saltwater and infecting swimmers with open wounds and the people who eat shellfish from those waters. This flesh-eating bacterium is called Vibrio vulnificus and it usually occurs in warm coastal waters during the warm-weather months between May and October, when people are more likely to be at the beach. Florida's balmy temperatures and beach-going lifestyle make it a high-risk area for the illness and it has already infected 13 people and killed three throughout the state this year and it's only the middle of summer. Last year in Florida, 41 people were sickened and 11 died. But beyond Florida, the southern states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas have all reported cases of Vibrio vulnificus.In fact,The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) receives approximately 90 reports of Vibrio vulnificus each year. Now that the bacterium has returned our waters, the CDC is warning Florida beachgoers to take precautions to avoid this infection. To help you handle this health hazard, MD Now Urgent Care offers the following tips to reduce your risk and treat any trouble.
Basics on the Bacteria
The Vibrio vulnificus bacteria are related to cholera, and live in warm saltwater. It is considered a flesh-eating infection because it can cause severe skin breakdown and ulceration. People with open wounds can be exposed to it through direct contact with infected seawater, shellfish, or marine wildlife. The illness can also be contracted by eating raw or undercooked seafood, especially oysters, from affected waters. In fact, the CDC reported that a 2013 outbreak of Vibrio vulnificus linked to contaminated shellfish sickened more than 100 people in 13 states. Individuals with compromised immune systems or chronic liver disease run an increased risk of infection from consuming raw or undercooked seafood, as well as from swimming in infected waters, with open wounds. If the bacteria are ingested, they can cause severe stomach pain, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Symptoms of Sickness
Vibrio vulnificus leads to a severe illness that can be fatal up to 40% of the time. It also causes wound infections that are fatal nearly 20% of the time. Luckily, immediate and aggressive treatment can save the lives of those infected. People who have been exposed to the bacteria usually experience signs of sickness within a few hours to three days after exposure, but a small percentage of people can go as long as seven days until symptoms appear. The typical signs of sickness include:
Acute illness with a swift decline in health soon after exposure
Swelling and redness of skin on arms or legs that expands to the rest of the body
If infected through an open wound, a sudden onset of redness, swelling, and pain at the site of the wound
Blistering, blood-tinged skin lesions
Decreased blood pressure and septic shock
The infection is diagnosed by a microbiologic culture of the wound, blood, or stool. It is usually treated with antibiotics, though skin infections must be treated with aggressive attention to the wound site and, in the most severe cases, may require surgery or amputation of the infected limb. If you think you've contracted a case of Vibrio vulnificus, immediately go to your nearest MD Now Urgent Care center. Our physicians have the antibiotics necessary to treat most cases of infection and get you on the road to recovery. Since Vibrio vulnificus infection is an acute illness, there are rarely any long-term effects following a full recovery.
Protection from the Infection
The CDC recommends taking these important precautions to avoid contracting Vibrio vulnificus:
Avoid exposing any open wounds, cuts, or scrapes to warm saltwater or raw shellfish
Do not go into warm saltwater with a weakened immune system or an open wound
Anyone who goes into the ocean should rinse with clean water before heading home
Avoid eating undercooked shellfish
Cook shellfish completely and prevent food contamination from the juices of raw seafood
Wear protective clothing when handling raw shellfish
Eat shellfish immediately after cooking and promptly refrigerate leftovers

Marketplace Scratch Pad
The new war between the states
Scott Jagow Aug 27, 2009
https://www.marketplace.org/2009/08/27/new-war-between-states/
Just about every state has budget wounds. Some, like California, look like they've been shot more than Sonny on the causeway. In California's case, its neighbor, Nevada, smells the blood and is attacking with ferocity.
Check out these ads telling California businesses to get out while they still can:
At least one California assemblyman is offended by this campaign. His website California is Golden urges businesses to sign a petition that "I love California and am not leaving the state." There's also a Facebook page. It has 117 members.
And of course, there's a counterattack ad: "Let's face it, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But what happens in California makes the world go 'round."
The Los Angeles Times has an op-ed piece today saying this aggressive courting of business is a spectacular waste of time and money:
The fact is the come-hither look is useless: Relatively few businesses, once they're formed, pick up and move across state lines. Over the last several years, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California has done exhaustive research trying to measure precisely how many jobs California has lost because of such moves, while also measuring the offsetting number we have gained from businesses moving into the state. The conclusion? The impact is tiny. The researchers found that the average annual job loss was only .06% of California's total employment. Just to be clear, that's not 6%; it's six one-hundredths of 1%…
In other words, most businesses live and die where they are born, thriving or failing on the merit of their product, the wisdom or imprudence of their managers' decisions and the luck of the marketplace.
When that truth is ignored, often because of the kind of one-upmanship foolishness embodied in both the Nevada and California ads, states can participate in a tax-cutting competition that does them more harm than good. Taxes, after all, fund things that businesses need.
The ads reek of desperation, and I suppose that's fitting, considering that one state has been issuing IOU's and the other has pinned its hopes on roulette wheels and now-foreclosed subdivisions.

A web development project will impact the requirements of your new site, particularly in the areas of speed (the amount of storage you will need) and bandwidth (the amount of data being transferred and downloaded while visitors view your website).
360Civic offers security-hardened CMS and PHP hosting with a secure, Tier 1 infrastructure, with equipment owned and managed by 360 personnel. Built-in redundancy protects site content.
Our facilities are located in a safe region in the center of the country. If an emergency requires you to communicate with your constituents, our safe remote hosting will not be impacted by a locally occurring event.
Daily backup, weekly backup and restore service, as well as monitoring and onsite support, is part of the complete management of services we provide at no additional cost. Support is available 24/7, and most of the time we'll detect any issues before you do. But if you do need to reach us, someone will always be there.
Our public sector clients will become familiar with the development and staging infrastructure we employ on a separate server, as we bring your project to fruition. This is the way that you will review pages for correct formatting and content prior to launch. That development server will remain available after your site launches on a different server, so you'll always have a way to safely test and update new material without affecting the website.
This production environment will continue to be made available to you after your new site is finished, so any future changes can be tested and applied before they go live. And if your site needs to expand for any reason, our flexible scaling will accommodate your needs.
Should a school district with ten schools pay the same amount for hosting as a district with 50 schools? We don't think so. At 360Civic our hosting fees are set based on your website traffic. With public sector budgets seemingly growing ever tighter, the last thing a city or school district needs is to pay for something it does not need.

Our organization is dedicated to the preservation of the ancient art of falconry, a hunting tradition defined as 'taking quarry in its natural state and habitat by means of trained birds of prey'. Preserving falconry involves maintaining not only the traditional culture that builds practical skills of empathy with animals, but also the conservation of raptors and their prey through Preservation Of Natural Habitats. We therefore encourage falconry within the context of sustainable use of wildlife.

After years of predominant death/black & post-black metal to discover a band able to reawaken the darker and most medieval scenario of the '90 is a special surprise. Sacrarium debut album has to be compared with the riffing of the early Abigor's albums. Melodic guitar lines supported by a violent rhythmic aggression draw the listener to evade once again from rotten reality and face a new dimension of demise and tragedy. The French will raise again the cup of blood shed by the immortal enemies, a timeless dimension to abuse and overcome the borders of reality. For fans of Abigor & Gorgoroth.


A mixed number is just another way of expressing a fractional number. This video shows two methods by which two mixed numbers may be added. The first method involves separating the whole number and the fractional parts of both the numbers and then adding both the parts separately to get a fraction and a whole number as results. Finally, the results so obtained are combined to form a mixed number, which is the result obtained upon addition. The second method consists of converting the mixed numbers into fractions and then adding both of them to get the result. The result is then converted into a mixed number.

California: "take-home" liability extends to workers' households
December 06, 2016 I By DEBORAH LA FETRA
Kesner v. Superior Court and Haver v. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad are consolidated cases resulting in a single decision by the California Supreme Court holding that California tort law recognizes "take-home" liability in asbestos cases. "Take-home" cases arise when an employee worked with asbestos on the job 30-50 years ago and got asbestos dust on his clothes, exposing other family members to the toxic dust, after which they were diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses. In Kesner, the plaintiff was a man who frequently visited his uncle, whose clothes were contaminated with asbestos dust from his workplace. In Haver, the plaintiff was the employee's wife, who was exposed to the dust on her husband's workclothes when doing the laundry. In neither case did the plaintiff have any personal relationship with the employer or set foot on the employer's premises.
Cases around the country have split about evenly on whether employers are liable in this situation. The cases that decide the question on a theory of premises liability hold in favor of the employer/property owner, because they owed no duty to people who neither worked for them nor were ever present on the property. The California Supreme Court, aligned with cases that treat the matter as one of general negligence rather than premises liability. Last Thursday (Dec. 1), the court held that employers and premises owners owe a duty to household members of employees to prevent exposure to asbestos carried by the bodies and clothing of the on-site workers.
PLF's amicus brief cautioned the court about the ramifications of a broad duty to prevent take-home exposure, specifically calling out workers who carpool, home health-care workers or babysitters, and those who live in apartments with shared laundry facilities. Fortunately, the court did place some boundaries on this expansion of California tort law. Most importantly, it limits the secondary plaintiffs to those who are regular members of the employee's household (regardless of whether they are family members). "Any duty rule will necessarily exclude some individuals who, as a causal matter, were harmed by the conduct of potential defendants. By drawing the line at members of a household, we limit potential plaintiffs to an identifiable category of persons who, as a class, are most likely to have suffered a legitimate, compensable harm."
While the court is overly-optimistic in its assertion that this limitation "strikes a workable balance" between compensating foreseeable injuries and "protecting courts and defendants from the costs associated with litigation of disproportionately meritless claims," the limitation does mean that these cases are not over yet. Both cases were remanded for further proceedings: in Haver, to determine if a different defense to the premises liability should apply to preclude recovery, and in Kesner, to determine if the nephew was a member of the household. Moreover, because both cases decided only the prerequisite issue of whether the employers owed a duty to the secondary plaintiffs, the plaintiffs must still prove that this take-home exposure – as opposed to many other, often direct, exposures – resulted in their illnesses.

NFL reveals top teams, Nos. 31-100
A pair of Super Bowl winning teams that launched dynasties in San Francisco and New England highlighted the list of the NFL's greatest teams, Nos. 31-100.
The NFL revealed results Friday night of balloting conducted by The Associated Press in conjunction with the league's celebration of its 100th season. The top 30 in voting by a nationwide panel of 59 football historians and media who regularly cover the NFL will be announced next Friday night.
Coming in at No. 31 was the 1981 San Francisco 49ers led by coach Bill Walsh and quarterback Joe Montana. The Niners won the NFC championship game against Dallas on Montana's late pass that Dwight Clark jumped high to corral in a play forever known simply as "The Catch."
San Francisco beat Cincinnati in the Super Bowl two weeks later for the first of five championships in a 14-year stretch that was one of the most successful by any franchise ever.
That run of excellence was surpassed two decades later when the New England Patriots launched a dynasty of their own behind quarterback Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
The Patriots won a surprise title in 2001 after the untested Brady took over from the injured Drew Bledsoe early in the season. New England needed a favorable ruling and dramatic kick by Adam Vinatieri to win the "Tuck Rule" game against Oakland, won at Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game and slowed down the dynamic Rams offense for the franchise's first title. That team ranked 51st.
New England has added five more under Brady and Belichick, including one last season in the NFL's greatest stretch of dominance.
The list also includes the first Super Bowl titles for a couple of other star quarterbacks.
Peyton Manning's 2006 Indianapolis Colts ranked 37th after mounting a memorable comeback to beat Brady and the Patriots in the AFC championship game and then knocked off Chicago in the Super Bowl. Manning won again in 2015 with Denver, a team that ranked 58th.
John Elway's 1997 Denver Broncos team that won the first of back-to-back championships after losing in his first three trips to the title game ranked 49th for knocking off Brett Favre and defending-champion Green Bay.
The list also included two teams best remembered for missed kicks that prevented them from being ranked much higher. The 1990 Buffalo Bills team that lost the first of four straight Super Bowls on Scott Norwood's missed 47-yard field goal against the Giants came in at No. 35.
The 1998 Vikings ranked 38th after going 15-1 in the regular season behind a big-play offense led by rookie Randy Moss, Cris Carter and Randall Cunningham. Minnesota lost the NFC title game to Atlanta when Gary Anderson missed his first field goal try of the season with a chance to seal the victory. The Falcons rallied to tie the game late in regulation and won it 30-27 in overtime.
Another notable entrant that fell short of a championship was the 1968 Baltimore Colts, who dominated the NFL but fell to Joe Namath and the New York Jets in the Super Bowl that gave the AFL its first win in the title game.
The list includes two teams that beat Brady's Patriots in the title game, including the 2007 New York Giants, who came in at No. 53 after spoiling New England's bid for a perfect season.
The 2017 Eagles were ranked 36th for delivering Philadelphia's first Super Bowl title with a 41-33 victory.
Among the notable entrants in the pre-Super Bowl era were the 1929 Packers, who were ranked 40th after going 12-0-1 under coach Curly Lambeau in Green Bay's first championship season.
The 1964 Browns ranked one spot lower for winning the last title for Cleveland behind Jim Brown.
More The Big Game Stories
Chad Henne came off the bench cold in the heat of a tense playoff game and delivered the game-sealing plays for Kansas City in his most consequential performance in a win since 2013.
Henne became just the latest understudy quarterback to deliver a memorable performance in the postseason when he relieved an injured Patrick Mahomes and closed out a 22-17 win over Cleveland on Sunday that sent the defending champion Chiefs into the AFC championship game.

TAMPA, Fla (WFLA) – Security measures for Super Bowl LV in Tampa are constantly evolving and updating according to two different agencies assisting with security for the big game.
More than two dozen agencies at the local, state and federal level have been working and communicating for more than a year about safety and security during Super Bowl LV.
by Patrick Everson, Covers / Jan 20, 2021
TAMPA, Fla. (COVERS) -- The NFL season is one step from the Super Bowl, NFL conference championship odds are on the board, and action is already flowing in on both games. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
The SuperBook's John Murray provided insights on NFL conference championship opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting. Covers will update this report with NFL sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the week.

Born in Balatonkenese, Hungary during WWII, Eva Kovacs' life began in a dramatic twist of irony. While an American bomb causes her premature birth in Hungary, seventeen years later, she is the crowning glory of the American dream.

FLEEING COMMUNISM
What started in 1917 as a Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the killing of Czar and the Czarina with their four children, became a global Social Revolution. When Karl Max published The Communist Manifesto, it brought the communist party into the limelight for China, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba. This was soon followed by Kenya, Sudan, and Nicaragua. Finally, on October 9, 1944, behind the closed doors of the Kremlin, Churchill, and Stalin agreed on one of the most infamous deals in diplomatic history, which decided the tragic fate of millions in Eastern Europe. Churchill called the deal, "Triumph and Tragedy." Instead of Hitler's Swastika, Hungarian throats were chocked with Stalin's hammer and sickle. By giving Stalin carte-blanche to take as much of Eastern Europe as he could, his Soviet Red Germ spread like a plague, knocking down nations like a bowling ball and inflicting Socialist Communisms on eleven countries, including Hungary. Hitler was evil, but than Stalin loomed up as an even greater danger. By the time, the 'Man of Steel' died, he had murdered 52 million men, women, and children. More then Hitler's eleven million--but the math does not matter where spiritual sickness devours innocent souls!
In the dark winter nights of '44', my father and mother along with my one-and-half-half-year old sister, Elizabeth, ran from the moral decay imposed on Hungary by the inevitable Soviet hegemony. Traces of my parents' footsteps were lost in the human exodus. Being born premature and fearing for my life, I was left behind in the care of my grandmother. When my parents returned two years later to take me out of Communist Hungary, the Iron Curtain had slammed down, blocking us from Austria's border. Three years later, imprisoned by Communism, and the unbearable baseness of Stalin's bloodbath crimes, Hungarian families, were accused with immense trumped-up charges of treason and sabotage. Faced with incrimination against the finest citizens of the land, after ludicrous trials, millions were executed. Like many other families, the Soviets appropriated our family villa and we had to share the same with several communists families. The Soviets also confiscated and shipped 2/3 of the Hungarian production to Russia. They called it our war debt for freeing us from Hitler!
For 12 years all school children in Hungary were called the '"New Soviet Pioneers." We were dubbed "a cut above all", and required to swear loyalty to the Socialist Party. They tried to engrave into our minds: "Without teaching the youth to adhere to socialism, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, there is no communisms!" We had to praise Stalin as our father and god. At home, we prayed to another, our true God. Stalin's unopposed domination, gave him nothing to fear, no one to follow, no God, no Hell, no Parent, no Law, and with nothing forbidding him from whatever he wanted, he left this earth with decay and spiritual deprivation. To say, better DEAD THAN RED, which were perhaps fiery words from Hungarians, but by 1956, our people had enough suffering and torment in their so-called Soviet Socialist Paradise. On October 23rd, 1956, the Hungarian people rose against the mighty Soviet Union and crushed them for 11 days, and Hungary was free. The Soviet Union promised to leave Hungary.
But with Britain and France at odd with the Soviets, oil which flowed through Suez Canal in the Middle East was critical, the Western Allies promise to help Hungary in their fight against the Soviets never materialized. Seeing America would not step in to help the Hungarians, the Red Army turned back from the Soviet borders, tightened their grip, and viciously crushed Hungary with Soviet tanks and troops. In Hungary's final hours my father and many others fought against the Soviet Communists, gave one last broadcast on the radio begging for the free world to help: "Civilized peoples of the world, we implore you to help us in the name of justice, for freedom. Our ship is sinking. Light is failing. The shadows grow darker every hour over the soil of Hungary."
Without help, hundreds of thousands Soviet Mongol tanks re-entered Hungary and shelled Budapest with a savagery beyond horror. Two hundred thousand Hungarians died for freedom, hundreds of thousands were executed and a quarter million fled the country, including my family. In early December 6, 1956, it was time for my parents' second escape, but this time, they were taking me and my three siblings with them.
Although it was a standard fare for comrades to discuss Socialism that could result in people being sent to the gulags. With Stalin, and later Gorbachev in power and with the advent of Cold War, when musing on the history of Hungary over a bottle of vodka, the Soviets would say: "LET THEM HATE AS LONG AS THEY FEAR," thus confirmed, human life did not count where ideology was concerned!
Hungarian Revolution crushed it forces Eva and her family to escape the Red Germ of the Soviet Socialist Communist Republic and flee into the Austrian Alps
PESONAL MANUSCRIPT
My parents rejected the Communist Red Book that would declare them Communist Party members. My father refused to bend, lie and snitch to get ahead in the party. During those years it only took one informant to snitch on you, a neighbor who didn't like you, or saw you go to church, or was jealous of your furniture. Besides every block had an assigned 'trustee' to report on everyone. We learned not to talk, fear and distrust even our own classmates. While the instrument of Communist propaganda machines hammered the pedagogy for a worldwide socialism, we were daily reminded we were a distinguished socialist race--a cut above the rest of humanity. It was only a matter of time before Father Stalin would rule the world! Finally on October 23, 1956, swarming on the peek of insignificance, and devoid of arms against the danger, the country unleashed the Communist straightjacket, and the hunted turned against the hunters with all that was hidden in noble emotions and restrained tears, detonating into one mighty call: "SOVIETS GO HOME!" In a David and Goliath confrontation, we fought the mighty Soviet Army to freedom for 11 days. While the Soviets promised to leave Hungary, we waited for the promised help to arrive from the United States. When the Soviets saw help was not coming, they turned around at the Russian Borders and hit Hungary with tanks and bombs to ashes. With our freedom extinguished, my family fled so we children can grow up in freedom. We walked for miles on end toward the Austrian border, hid in the forest from Communist gunfire, rode in wagons under haystacks and fruit, at times on trucks covering us from view with canvas, concealed in ditches, other times separated. We had injuries, brutality, but then, we had freedom and kindness in the Austrian Alps. And, in that magic of winter our destiny unfolded in America."
Quotes from Eva's book.
ON THE RIGHT the arrow points to the original flight manifest, transporting Eva Kovacs and the Kovacs family from Nuremberg, Germany to the United States. The airlift, 'Operation Safe Haven' was ordered by Dwight D. Eisenhower on December 10, 1956, four days after Bela and Elizabeth Kovacs with their four young children made a daring escape into the Austrian Alps. This flight and others were made by the United States Marine Corps that have evacuated 21,000 of 250,000 Hungarian refugees fleeing the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
While the Messenger of Fate unlocked the pages for our family's future, and we were given this precious new life, sometimes it came with highs and sometimes it came with lows, but each one opened a different door. I don't know whether I shall win, place or even show, but I shall have played my small part, before passing to the obscurity of the Beyond.
"All things have their season, and in their times, all things pass under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to pluck that which is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to destroy and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh!" (Ecclesiastics 3:1-8
THE YEAR THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
Eva's dream is to become a prima ballerina. When she is chosen from hundreds of ballet hopefuls to train at the renowned Budapest Ballet Opera House, for the coveted "Prima Ballerina," her aspirations are cut by the 1956 Hungarian Revolution when family flees the Soviet hegemony and immigrates to the United States.
Eva Kovacs, the new ingénue begins to flourish in America when she receives a scholarship to the Royal Academy's Imperial Ballet Studio in Palm Beach and New York.

Business of any size needs good leaders and good managers. Organizational and leadership skills go a long way when it comes to making sure that a business runs successfully for years. While a few entrepreneurs might enter the arena without any big master plan for leaving behind a legacy, it is only by creating a lineup of leaders can a business go ahead.
It is vital to identify leaders from the very beginning and it is also necessary to give them the scope and challenges to handle every tough situation with ease. Those who are strong enough would face any sort of challenges head on, and those who are scared of facing any would buckle out at the last moment.
Ram Chary is a leader himself, the CEO of Everi Holdings Inc. and he understands the situation that one undergoes when the senior management puts forth a challenge. He also knows the way a fresher would look up at a challenge and the way a career-minded person would look at one too.
What one has to keep in mind is that it is perfectly humane to even give up on the face of challenges and yet, how one bucks out is what makes him noteworthy. If a professional accepts his problem and quotes it as a reason to leave the position, it is absolutely fine.
Likewise, if one does not offer any reason and just mumbles or blames others in his team as a reason then surely, he needs a bit of help from the managers. Leadership is not something that one can get in a day. It is a trait that one needs to have and one ends up having from his childhood too. Has a person been a class representative in school or has he managed to do a school or college project as a leader?
What are the traits that he has that he would like to put forward? What are the kinds of skills he has that shall make him worthy of that position? In short, if someone would be going forward to pitch himself as a leader, then he would need to portray his skills in the best possible light. Ram Chary has found that only with a few skills can one aim to go anywhere high in his career.
Leadership would demand a person to have enough skills that one would need for the job so that he would be the go-to-person in case the new recruits need any help. As a subject-matter expert, or as a leader, he might have a few extra points in mind or might be able to troubleshoot when others might fail.
He might be able to sort out differences between team members and clear the air or have a forum of sorts, a discussion where all the issues can find solutions suitably. The importance of a leader in any field is undeniable and it is necessary that for a business to achieve great success, leaders play a supremely important role.

Are you a non-Catholic wishing to know more about the Catholic faith?
Are you a Catholic who has not received Eucharist and/or celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation?
Do you know anyone who fits these descriptions?
If you answered yes to any of these questions...we invite you seek full initiation in the Catholic Church.
Click here to watch the inspiring testimony of two people who have joined the Catholic Church!
If you answered yes to any of these questions...we invite you to seek full initiation in the Catholic Church or invite the person you know to consider joining the Catholic Church.
The RCIA is the process by which adults interested in full initiation into the Catholic Church have the opportunity to inquire into its teachings and to reflect on their readiness for entry into the Catholic faith community. This program is for anyone who has not been baptized, those who have been baptized in other faith traditions and for baptized Catholics who never completed the other sacraments of initiation (Eucharist and/or Confirmation).
The RCIA journey begins with Inquiry- an opportunity to delve into your experiences of God and aspects of our Catholic faith and traditions. After the Inquiry period, candidates join sponsors in deeper exploration of the Catholic faith through reflection on the Sunday readings. In addition, there are bi-weekly meetings and retreats throughout the year. The process culminates in the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, & Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil, where the candidates are welcomed into full membership in the Catholic Church. We accept people into the RCIA process whenever they feel called.
Adult Catholics, who have been active in their faith but for any reason have not been confirmed, are welcome to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at Easter with the community after a period of preparation. The candidate joins with a sponsor and participates in bi-weekly meetings and retreats.

Bagged Salads: Health or Hype?
Bagged salads are a time-saving way to get the benefits of salads, from package to plate in seconds. There is a bagged salad for every taste, from simple lettuce like romaine to arugula. These packages are even available as an all-in-one salad kit. It's estimated that 83% of households were using bagged salads in 2015.
One concern some consumers have is that bagged salads may not pack the same vitamin and nutrient filled punch as a home-made salad does. Read on for the verdict.
Produce begins to lose nutrients from the minute they are harvested. Bagged salads seem to be at risk for losing even more nutrients compared to a single head of lettuce because they need so much additional work before being placed on the produce shelves.
Bagged salads may lose nutrients because they are washed, chopped and packaged. Manufacturers state that they still try to keep the turnaround time of their packaged salads to 24 hours. The packaging process itself saves nutrients, though. Modified atmosphere packaging involves reducing oxygen, a process that keeps the leaves of packaged salads green and slows the loss of vitamins and nutrients like folate and vitamin C. The result is a longer shelf life of the bagged salad.
With these packaging techniques, nutrient losses in both whole lettuce heads and packaged salads are similar. In fact, bagged salads may maintain more nutrients depending on how they are stored and how quickly they are eaten.
With all of the recalls of romaine lettuce due to E. coli, people are questioning just how safe bagged salads are. While human contamination of foods happens when food is handled too much, it can also happen by exposure to other contaminated foods.
Bacterium lives on lettuce before it is harvested. Being stored properly reduces the risk of becoming ill from the bacteria, which are already usually at levels that wouldn't make a human sick.
Bagged vs Fresh: Which is Best for You?
Because many of us are far below the recommended daily allowance of veggies, we need all the help we can get. The US has shown an improvement in eating leafy greens, with a 2014 average of over 22 pounds consumed per person. It's a huge jump from the 1970 average of just over 1 pound of greens consumed per year.
Packaged, bagged salads make it easier for the average consumer to serve up the leafy stuff with meals. The health benefits of bagged salads far outweigh any possible risks, according to food experts. Nutrient loss and the risk of foodborne illness isn't any higher than in whole produce.

Press Release from Quartet:
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the landmark science fiction blockbuster Total Recall, Quartet Records and Studio Canal present Academy Award-winner Jerry Goldsmith's thrilling score on an all-new 2-CD special edition. Directed by Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Basic Instinct) and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone, Total Recall helped change the future of cinematic imagery, while Goldsmith's score marked a culmination of styles and techniques the composer had developed over four decades of composing for film and television.
Total Recall represents one of the iconic composer's last masterpieces, recorded with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of London, under his own baton. With this edition, Quartet has expanded upon all of the previous releases of the score, allowing fans of the film and of great music to experience the intrigue, the action, and the exotic world of Total Recall like never before. For the first time, the score as written for the film can now be heard—and with the actual film performances. Cues such as "The Dream" and "The Implant" feature previously unreleased takes, while "Where Am I?" and the "End Credits" make their debut. Exciting bonus tracks include a variety of source cues and an alternate performance of "Clever Girl" from the films original German recording sessions!
Disc One contains the film score, while Disc Two features the original 1990 soundtrack album, alternates, and source music. All of this material—nearly 2 ½ hours in total—has been entirely remixed and remastered from the original digital multi-track tapes by Goldsmith's longtime scoring mixer, Bruce Botnick. Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Botnick, this new edition includes authoritative liner notes from film music writer Jeff Bond, featuring new interviews with director Paul Verhoeven, music editor Ken Hall, composer Bruno Louchouarn, and Botnick—all presented in a lavishly designed 24-page full-color booklet. With every beat, every cue, and everything you could want to know about the making of this iconic score, it's more than the definitive release--it's the release of your dreams.

Q: Increase allocated nodes for queued jobs on a PBS cluster I have submitted a job on a PBS managed cluster using qsub -l nodes=5:ppn=16. My job is queued and is waiting for other jobs to be completed.
Is there a command that allows me change the number of allocated nodes for queued jobs?
I can simply delete the job using qdel and submit it again with more number of nodes. However, doing this would mean that I will lose my position in the queue (my job will go to the bottom of the queue).

A: You could try qalter, but it might be that there are restrictions on what you can change.
qalter -f <jobID> shows a list of resources available.
qalter -l nodes=5:ppn=16 will be used to alter the nodes.

Killer Tracks teams with Wax Ltd to launch new production music label
By Dak Dillon
Killer Tracks, a Universal Publishing Production Music company, has partnered with independent record label Wax Ltd to launch new production music label Audio Wax.
The Audio Wax label will be led by multi-platinum-selling producers/songwriters and Wax Ltd founders Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry.
"Wally and Xandy are rock star composers, fluent in contemporary trends and connected to an array of emerging artists through their label," said Killer Tracks EP Ryan Perez-Daple. "We are incredibly excited about the launch of Audio Wax, which represents Wally and Xandy's distinctive sensibilities and their dedication to quality and authenticity."
Launching with four albums, Audio Wax's catalog will span anthemic rock, indie/alternative, motivational and uplifting/atmospheric.
For the recordings, Gagel and Barry enlisted musicians and producers associated with Wax Ltd, including from the bands Blondfire, Redlight King, Passion Pit, Best Coast and Family of the Year. Recorded with live musicians, Audio Wax's albums are available now through the Killer Tracks website. Additional releases are planned throughout 2019.
The creation of Audio Wax builds on an existing, successful relationship between Gagel, Barry and Killer Tracks, and expands for the first time signature production music. Gagel and Barry have previously written and produced numerous songs for Killer Tracks' library. Past works have been very successful and widely licensed, including promos for HBO and the Golden Globe awards, and commercials for Nokia and other brands.
"Our aim was to create a separate label for the production music world, focused on our studio and our network of artists and session musicians," said Gagel. "We want it to be something special, organic and real."
"Our concept is to deliver work that is a cut above standard production music," added Barry. "We maximize quality by applying all of our resources, employing the same musicians and recording techniques we would for a massive commercial release with huge budget."
