Border wall disturbs peace at centuries-old cemetery in South Texas, descendant says
Keller, Mondesi carry Royals past Tigers 3-2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)Brad Keller threw six scoreless innings, Adalberto Mondesi had three hits and an RBI as the Kansas City Royals held off the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Friday night.
Keller (5-3) gave up four singles and struck out five in six innings. The eighth-round draft pick in 2013 closed out the season allowing one run in 33 innings pitched at home.
"Ending on a high note," Keller said. "I feel like we are just hitting our stride as a team. I didn't really notice I was playing that well at home, but I just try to pitch well wherever I am."
The Royals have won three in a row. The Tigers have lost eight of nine.
"It's been a weird season," Tigers manager Lloyd McClendon said. "A lot of guys, this is their first year and some things just take time. It's a different game than the minors."
Mondesi was a homer away from hitting for the cycle. In his last three games, he had nine hits, six runs scored and four RBI's.
"When he hits the ball down the line, we all stand up to watch him run the bases," Royals manager Mike Matheny said. "He is in such a great place right now and I don't think he wants to quit playing."
Spencer Turnbull (4-4) went five innings for the Tigers, allowing three runs, six hits and striking out five.
"He had a couple of incidents there, but for the most part threw the ball pretty well," McClendon said. "Just waiting on the point where he trusts his stuff because it's so good. When he's down in the zone, he's tough to hit."
The Tigers bullpen of Daniel Norris, Jose Cisnero and Buck Farmer worked three scoreless innings.
Royals left-hander Danny Duffy was used in relief for the first time since 2016. He gave up two hits, two runs and went 1/3 inning.
Those runs came in the sixth inning, after an RBI by Christin Stewart, who scored Harold Castro, and a sacrifice fly by Eric Haase that plated Niko Goodrum and cut the deficit to 3-2.
Scott Barlow and Jakob Junis went a combined 1 2/3 scoreless innings, and Jesse Hahn closed the door in the ninth for his second save of the season.
Our defense was really good tonight," Matheny said. "We did a lot of things well."
In the first tinning, Turnbull allowed singles by Whit Merrifield and Adalberto Mondesi. He walked two batters, which scored a run.
The next inning, Franchy Cordero hit a double down the left field line, and Mondesi followed with an RBI triple to make it 2-0.
Tigers: INF Jeimer Candelario (low back strain) was placed on the IL and OF Christian Stewart was recalled.
Royals: RHP Greg Holland (right oblique strain) and OF Jorge Soler (right oblique strain) were placed on the IL, while RHP Ian Kennedy was reinstated from the IL and 1B/OF Ryan McBroom was recalled.
Detroit will start LHP Matthew Boyd (2-7, 6.96) on Saturday night, and the Royals will counter with RHP Carlos Hernandez (0-0, 3.46). Boyd will look to have a better outing after giving up five runs in five innings against the Indians on Sunday.

Following on from the success of the collaboration with John Duval, Nockies Palette Wines began the search for a wine maker best suited to make the style of white wine that would constitute the next colour on the wine palette. A bright, light golden-yellow, full bodied Chardonnay. The Clearview Estate Winery in Hawkes Bay New Zealand was chosen. Established over 25 years ago by Tim Turvey when he acquired the leafy coastal estate of Te Awanga and planted vines. The Nockies Palette Chardonnay is picked from Mendoza Chardonnay vines and Chief Winemaker Matt Kirby has created a broad and rounded wine, with ripe, rich tropical fruit flavours, sweet oak underlined by fresh acidity which combine to present a brightness and energy to the flavours that blossom gloriously in the mouth.
Tim Turvey bought Clearview in 1986 as a piece of bare land without realising that it had previously been a historical vineyard, where Vidal had established a vineyard back in 1915. With a previous background in horticulture/agriculture & after just arriving home from overseas, Tim set about creating a vineyard with very little money- a great Kiwi tradition- used posts, used wire. Tim taught himself to graft whilst establishing one of the largest nurseries in NZ. He also taught himself to make wine with one of his earliest chardonnays taking out NZ grand prize of top wine at the royal Easter show.
For 15 years, Tim made the wine on his own until 2004 when he started to hire winemakers to help - Matt Kirby is now winemaker with Tim helping with blending & major decisions.


Many adults dream of owning a home with a swimming pool, not only for family fun and exercise, but also for entertaining. However, as a responsible homeowner, you have to make sure that you exercise caution when it comes to using your pool. You don't necessarily want kids, pets, or neighbors wandering in while you're away.
This is why it's a good idea to install proper fencing around your swimming pool area. While you might not be keen to put up a physical barrier between your pool and the rest of your yard, there are several good reasons to do so. Here are a few benefits you should consider.
This is the number one reason to put a fence around your pool. What would happen if your dog got into the pool and couldn't get out, or worse, if a child fell in? According to CDC statistics, there are over 3,500 fatal drownings annually (not related to boating), and 1 in 5 is a child under the age of 14. In addition, for every one child that suffers a fatal drowning, five more end up in emergency rooms due to nonfatal submersion and resulting injuries. How do you feel about pool fence safety now?
As a homeowner, you are responsible for accidents and injuries that occur on your property, and this includes any incidents related to your pool. When you're present, you can keep an eye on kids and pets in the pool to make sure no accidents occur, or at least call for help or administer CPR or first aid should an accident happen.
When you're not around, appropriate fencing, including a locked gate, can help to keep kids, pets, and everyone else out of your pool and away from potential harm. This can greatly reduce your liability, even if someone does manage to climb the fence and get in against your wishes.
Many states, counties, and municipalities have laws or ordinances related to pool safety, including the requirement to install proper fencing and locking gates around pool areas. If you are governed by such regulations, it's important to observe them or you could face fines for failure to comply, not to mention additional penalties if accidents or injuries occur as a result.
I know what you're thinking – it costs money to install appropriate fencing around your pool. This is true. However, it would cost a lot more to settle a lawsuit if a neighborhood kid wandered into your backyard and suffered some kind of accident or even a fatal drowning incident because of your neglect. If you want to ensure safety, reduce potential liability, and avoid the guilt and expense that result from negligence, it's time to contract with a reputable and experienced vendor like Fencing Unlimited.
If you don't install a pool fence, you might spend your days worried about what could happen if your children disobey your rules and go in the pool when you're not home, or if neighborhood kids sneak in for a swim. With a locked pool fence around the perimeter, you'll gain peace of mind.

Monument Releases Positive Drill Results from Selinsing Property in Malaysia
Release #10 - 2011
Vancouver, B.C. Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) "Monument" or the "Company" is pleased to announce the first results from Monument's twelve month drilling program which commenced in September 2010 at its 100% owned Selinsing, property. The exploration program is targeting 22 drill holes comprising 1,000 metres RC drilling and 3,000 metres diamond drilling and aims to increase the reserves by converting the inferred gold resources below the present Selinsing open pit outline.
The mineralized ore body at Selinsing strikes at 3500 and dips 600-700 to the east. The high grade shoots within the main mineralization, plunge to the south east. The deposit is a sedimentary hosted sheared zone gold mineralization in felsic tuff and very fine clastic argillite with hanging wall calcareous material and limestone. The high grade mineralization is normally associated with quartz stockwork and quartz carbonate veins within highly deformed sedimentary rock.
As of the end of June, 2011 the MMY exploration team at Selinsing had completed 3,012 metres in 15 drill holes. The 20 metres spaced drill holes are up to 250 metres deep and are designed to intercept the mineralized structure 220 metres below surface at 280 metres Reduced Level ("RL"). This is below the existing planned pit depth.
A total of 922 samples were sent to SGS (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., an accredited laboratory which complies with requirements of ISO/IEC 1725:2005, for preparation and analysis. The sampling is of half NQ and half HQ diamond drill core with maximum sample intervals of 1.5 metres. Quality assurance and quality control ("QAQC") is maintained through the submission of certified reference materials and blanks. Coarse split duplicates are collected and analyzed, but assays are pending. Sample recoveries are good to excellent.
The significant results (>1 g/t Au) obtained from the first six holes drill are outlined in Table 1. More results will be announced as they are made available from the laboratory. The approximate true thickness of the intercepts is 86% of the quoted down hole thicknesses due to drilling and orebody orientation.
The results indicate that the high grade shoots extend below the existing pit and is still open at depth. The on-going programs will continue to assess the gold distribution at depth with the data to be used to construct the new resource estimate. Current results are in line with the data from the Selinsing "Deeps" (Below the current pit limit) obtained from historic drilling campaigns conducted before the 2007 acquisition.

The information in this report as it relates to the Selinsing exploration drilling results was compiled by Monument; and reviewed by Mr. Roderick Carlson, an independent qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Carlson is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and a full-time employee of Snowden Mining Industry Consultants, who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration. Mr Carlson consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on information provided by Monument and in the form and context in which it appears.
President and CEO Robert Baldock stated "These drill results are very positive and show us that at a further 220 metres below the current pit the mineralization is continuing. Together with our recent NI43-101 report filed on Buffalo Reef and the in-fill drilling program, the Company is targeting of a new NI43-101 compliant resource statement during Q3, 2012 fiscal year, which will consolidate the resources from two properties including converting inferred resource to measure and indicated resources and historical resources to NI43-101 compliant resources. Our current gold processing plant expansion to increase production capacity to 1,000,000 tpa from 400,000 tpa will fulfill the expected gold inventory in the ground. We express thanks to our hard working exploration team led by Vice President of Exploration Zaidi Harun."

A shooting inside a Henry County dentist's office early Thursday left a police officer critically injured and the alleged gunman dead.
The officer was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition, police spokesman Capt. Joey Smith told AJC.com. The officer, who was not identified, is a 10-year veteran on the force who works the day shift.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is on the scene of the shooting in the 300 block of Jonesboro Road. The alleged shooter entered Smile Creators Family & Cosmetic dentistry just after 8 a.m. and caused some type of disruption, Smith said.
"I don't know if it was work-related, I don't know if he was a customer... something was unusual about this gentleman that scared them enough that they called police," he said.
It is not yet known if the man was armed with his own gun. It is possible the officer was shot with his service weapon before officers returned fire, Smith said.
The officer is not being identified until family is notified about the shooting. Smith said his officers worked the call just like any other.
Henry County authorities are asking drivers to avoid the area of Jonesboro Road and Wesley Lakes Boulevard near McDonough.
"The scene has been secured," police said on Facebook. "There is no elevated risk to the public's safety at this time.
This is the second shooting involving a Henry County police officer and a dentist's office. In 2016, a man was fatally shot behind a Hampton dentist's office after confronting his ex-wife, who worked there. The officer was not injured.
The Thursday morning incident is the 84th officer-involved shooting in Georgia this year, GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles said. In 2017, there were 88 officer-involved shootings.


I'm off my game lately. Fighting off some sort of illness, complete with dizziness and vertigo, while also trying to function enough to get my work done. My routines are all off, my habits have been altered, my energy is low.
I remind myself, again and again, that this will pass.
Five minutes after this glorious sunset, the sky was dark. Twelve hours later, it was light again. Sunrise, sunset. And back again.
I was still in my studio working when my husband called me out to see the view last night. Perhaps he knew that I needed a break, (and a photo for today's post). My dog sat in the front yard as I took pictures of the sky, probably wondering why.
Sometimes life is a struggle. A beautiful, messy, blazing struggle.
It's a good thing we have glorious sunsets to distract us, remind us, soothe us.
The air outside smells of autumn. Gaggles of geese are making their way to warmer places.
Even when I feel like I am standing still, the world moves on around me. At least I am getting lots of reading time.
It seems October's clouds have a golden lining.

The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) represents about 70,000 federal employees who work at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The number of these employees being called back to work by the agency in order to process tax returns will be quickly expanding to about 46,000. And, while these employees will be paid once the shutdown ends, they apparently will not be paid until that occurs.
"There is no doubt the IRS needs to get ready for the 2019 filing season that starts Jan. 28, and IRS employees want to work. But the hard, cold reality is that they've already missed a paycheck and soon they'll be asked to work for free for as long as the shutdown lasts," according to NTEU's National President, Tony Reardon.
While he denied the requests for a TRO, the judge has ordered an expedited court schedule for the plaintiffs to brief their pending motions seeking a preliminary injunction. Oral argument is scheduled for January 31st.
The union is now raising the possibility that a number of employees will not return to work as ordered by the federal government to process the tax returns.
"After a month with no pay, real hardship does exist for IRS employees including not having the money needed to get back and forth to work or to pay for the child care necessary to return to work right now," the NTEU president said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.
All Service employees will be furloughed except for those employees performing excepted functions or those employees whose positions are exempt….The Employer will consider an employee's request not to work due to a hardship.
According to the Washington Post, a few hundred employees have requested and received a hardship exemption. How many additional employees may use this as a way to avoid returning to work with the latest recall remains to be seen. The agency does not have to approve an employee's request, although denying the request could lead to the filing of a grievance and an arbitration hearing at some point. Presumably, the argument would be made that the agency did not adequately consider an employee's hardship in denying the request.
Since the employees are not being paid until after the shutdown ends, a hardship request would likely entail an agency employee working temporarily at another job in order to have an income during the shutdown.
The longer the shutdown continues, the more frequently issues such as this will show up in different agencies. Hopefully, Congress will work with the president to reach a resolution sooner rather than later.


Words that Work. Stories that Matter.
I work with small to mid-size companies with a purpose. They have a mission and a message, but lack the time or talent to get the word out. I deliver the words they need, written from scratch or edited.
With keen sense of natural language use and an eye for grammatical styles, I supply my clients with the phrases, paragraphs, pages, articles and documents they need to confidently get back to the work they care about.
I also partner with marketing, communication and design firms so they can reach more clients in a timely manner. Together we create content that lets their clients succeed.
I collect dictionaries, have a penchant for Oxford commas, and will vehemently defend the passive voice. I formalized my love for words at UC Berkeley studying theoretical linguistics and digging into why and how we communicate – and how Deaf kids naturally develop vocabulary and grammar.
My first job out of college was the lead reporter at a small town newspaper. Soon enough, I fell in love with the power of the human interest story. "If it bleeds it leads" may be true, but those heart-warming stories build community pride and a sense of place.
Now I translate that power of story telling for entrepreneurs and business owners. I bring an innate sense of language, grammar, and syntax. Whether you are launching your website or sending out yet another document, I'm that second pair of eyes you need. Because not everyone likes staring at blank pages and a mess full of words… but I do.

Calling code: +379Currency: Euro (€) (EUR)Government: Unitary Christian absolute monarchy (under an ecclesiastical and elective theocracy)Official languages: ItalianOverviewVatican City, officially the Vatican City State (Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano; Latin: Status Civitatis Vaticanae), is an independent city state and enclave located within Rome, Italy. The Vatican City State, also known simply as the Vatican, became independent from Italy with the Lateran Treaty (1929), and it is a distinct territory under "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction" of the Holy See, itself a sovereign entity of international law, which maintains the city state's temporal, diplomatic, and spiritual independence. With an area of 49 hectares (121 acres) and a population of about 825, it is the smallest state in the world by both area and population. As governed by the Holy See, the Vatican City State is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal monarchical state (a type of theocracy) ruled by the pope who is the bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergy of various national origins. After the Avignon Papacy (1309–1437), the popes have mainly resided at the Apostolic Palace within what is now Vatican City, although at times residing instead in the Quirinal Palace in Rome or elsewhere. The Holy See dates back to Early Christianity and is the principal episcopal see of the Catholic Church, which has approximately 1.329 billion baptised Catholic Christians in the world as of 2018 in the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic Churches. The independent state of Vatican City, on the other hand, came into existence on 11 February 1929 by the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and Italy, which spoke of it as a new creation, not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756–1870), which had previously encompassed much of central Italy. Within the Vatican City are religious and cultural sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. They feature some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. The unique economy of Vatican Cityis supported financially by donations fr…

Canada Federation of Students Endorses BDS
November 21, 2018 Blog, News

A Canadian student body has announced that it will endorse the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
The Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) made the announcement at its general meeting in the Canadian capital Ottawa on Monday, condemning Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine and its violations against Palestinians.
Just now, the Canadian Federation of Students passed a motion endorsing the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign, and pledging support to local Palestine solidarity organizing. The CFS has over 500,000 members at 64 student unions across Canada. #cdnpoli #BDS
— Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) November 19, 2018
The CFS – which consists of more than 500,000 members and oversees 64 member unions across Canada – denounced Israel's "atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza and reaffirmed the Federation's commitment to BDS and anti-war organizing," the Jerusalem Post reported.
As part of this effort, the CFS will approve financial donations of up to $500 to any pro-Palestinian organization.

National Coordinator of Independent Jewish Voices Canada – a non-profit which supports BDS and is highly critical of organizations such as the Jewish National Fund (JNF) – Corey Balsam applauded the CFS' decision, saying:
"This is a crystal clear sign that the BDS movement is gaining momentum both in Canada and around the world, especially among students."
Outside Canada, support for BDS on university campuses has also been growing. Earlier this month, the University of Leeds became the first UK university to divest from companies that support the Israeli army.

The decision was made to divest from three companies – Airbus, United Technologies and Keyence Corporation – after it emerged that the university had invested £2.4 million ($3.1 million) in these companies this year alone. Students, staff, and alumni signed an open letter to the university's chancellor arguing that "our university should not enable military occupation. Our tuition fees should not fund killing. Our education should not be at the expense of a person's life".

When transferring from remote server to my machine the transfer breaks every couple of files, then waits for precisely 1 minute, before starting again for a file or two then waits another minute and so on.
So I tried with version 1525 and there is no problem, the transfer is perfect.
All settings between build 1525 and build 1658 are identical.
What software does this ftp server running?

Do you have the option "Restart transfer if no data transferred for (user input) seconds" checked?
If not then I suspect this might be related to a bug we discovered a couple builds ago, I thought it was fixed, perhaps I need to take another look at it.
To confirm if this is the same bug please check the option from above and see if you continue to encounter problems.
if it is unticked the transfer stops after 25 seconds and then does not resume at all.

Kofi Annan has urged Kenyans not to vote for politicians facing trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in next year's election.
Mr Annan, former UN secretary general and now African Union envoy overseeing the election, said Kenya's external relations could be damaged.
Candidates Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are due to stand trial after the vote in March 2013.
Correspondents say the intervention is likely to infuriate them.
Although he did not name Deputy Prime Minister Kenyatta and former minister Ruto, Mr Annan told the BBC that any Kenyan leader must be able to travel to meet other heads of state and be trusted by the international community.
"When you elect a leader who cannot do that, who will not be free or will not be easily received, it is not in the interests of the country and I'm sure the population will understand that," he said.
Both Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto have been indicted by the ICC over deadly post-election violence in 2007.

Q: What does the word "it" refer to in this context?
'Crookshanks doesn't understand it's wrong!' said Hermione, her voice
  shaking. 'All cats chase rats, Ron!'
'There's something funny about that animal!' said Ron, who was trying
  to persuade a frantically wiggling Scabbers back into his pocket. 'It
  heard me say that Scabbers was in my bag!'
'Oh, what rubbish,' said Hermione impatiently. 'Crookshanks could
  smell him, Ron, how else d'you think —'
'That cat's got it in for Scabbers!' said Ron, ignoring the people
  around him, who were starting to giggle. 'And Scabbers was here first,
  and he's ill!'
Ron marched through the common room and out of sight up the stairs to
  the boys' dormitories.

I am not sure what "it" refers to in "That cat's got it in for Scabbers!". Is it referring to the cat itself or something else?
-- From Harry Potter - and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 8.

A: It is understandable that you're confused. The it by itself doesn't mean anything. In English, we have something called an idiom. Idioms are groups of words (phrases) that have meaning when they're used together, but where the individual words don't really have meaning on their own.
If you like, you can think of an idiom as slang, but it's not slang. The reason idioms are not exactly slang is that idioms are commonly known throughout the whole English language to have a assumed meaning -- whereas certain slang might only be known to a particular region or a particular group (California vs. New York slang; Canadian slang vs. American slang).
As @Lambie said in the comment, To have it in for someone means you want revenge or you want to make someone's life very difficult for some reason. You know how some teachers dislike a particular student? You would say The teacher has it in for Mary or The teacher has it in for Jeff. Meaning that teacher is really tough on Mary or Jeff.
In your example, the it alone isn't referring to anything at all. You have to know the whole phrase to have it in for someone for it to make sense. Lastly, as students (at least in America) we're never really taught idioms. You only learn them over time by listening to spoken English. You can look up common idioms, but you don't really study them in school.
Here's a few common idioms off the top of my head

*

*It's raining cats and dogs means "It's raining really hard."

*Break a leg means "Good luck!"

*It's time to face the music means "to face the consequences or take responsibility for something a you said or did.

Right Mind Matters
Atypical, right-enhanced minds, are rarely studied in the scientific literature, where left dominance is the norm. I study the lesser-understood minds of poets, artists, musicians, mediums, mystics, shamans and autistic savants who use unconventional means to access truth and beauty through dreams, hallucinations, trance, NDEs, telepathy, automatic handwriting, séances, or a Ouija board. I invite you to discover their minds, and perhaps better understand your own.
After 20 years of research and writing, my book, In Their Right Minds: The Lives and Shared Practices of Poetic Geniuses (2015) Exeter, UK: Imprint Academic, is available from the publisher in a very well-made paperback edition. Initially a #1 Hot New Release in Neuropsychology and Poetry/Literary Criticism on Amazon.com, it can also be acquired on Amazon in most countries, either in print, a Kindle edition, or both. If you are interested in consciousness, creativity, poetry, psychology, and/or the paranormal, I think you will find it an illuminating read. You can read the first chapter for free on Amazon!
The Red Book and the Left / Right Emotional Divide
I first bought the large edition of Jung's long-awaited tome with its magnificent facsimiles of artwork and calligraphy. Both mesmerized and bewildered, I tried to read Sonu Shamdasani's introduction at the back of the book, but it was too large to be functional. Finally, I learned that A Reader's Edition existed. This was manageable and utterly essential to marking passages in the text and taking notes on Shamdasani's invaluable introduction and footnotes. As Shamdasani says, everything Jung ends up saying in future books did indeed come out of this early hallucinatory experience which began during the same time that André Breton and his Surrealist circle were experimenting with their own automatisms and Frederic Myers, Théodore Flournoy and Pierre Janet were studying famous spirit mediums. W.B. Yeats was engaged in séances with his wife, George, as his medium and Jung had a copy of the resulting text: A Vision. The paranormal was in the air and spirit contact was actively pursued.
As I attempted to show in my book, In Their Right Minds: The Lives and Shared Practices of Poetic Geniuses, not everyone has the ability to receive visions, make a planchette move over a Ouija Board, or get answers in a séance. It requires an atypical mind with enhanced right-hemispheric functioning and a partner. Jung fits the mold. First, he had a genetic predisposition to internal division. His mother had two personalities, No. 1 and No. 2; his grandfather, and his cousin, whose séances and splits he studied and encouraged, had the same dissociative tendencies. As a young boy, Jung felt divided between a depressive lonely self and a spirit from an earlier historical period. At the environmental level, Jung suffered from early maternal attachment issues that have been shown to presage a split personality resembling schizophrenia, but more rightly termed dissociation.
On a grander scale, the impending World War threatened his psyche. He had horrific precognitive visions in tandem with his professional break with Freud and an extra-marital relationship with Toni Wolff, who lived in his house as a second wife and shared merged dream states and fantasies with him.* Including his professional interest in troubled minds, we can understand why he felt compelled to write, in painstaking calligraphy, in Latin and German, the words he heard; then illustrated them with brightly colored, tightly controlled, symbolic imagery. As a female voice told him, it was not science, it was art. Further, it was art in service to a suppressed conscious mind.
Jung himself said he felt threatened with madness.** Environmental circumstances reinforced his intention to explore his own psyche through visions and imaginary dialogues. Based on my research into the minds of poetic geniuses, I would say Jung was predisposed to dissociate because of his bilateral brain organization, with neither side dominant, as environmental stressors pushed him over the edge. His use of right-hemispheric poetic writing and highly symbolic, vertically oriented, left-hemispheric painting helped him regain his equilibrium. Both highly verbal and artistic, he retained a helping figure, Philemon, who walked and talked with him, until he was no longer needed. Michael Persinger associates a sense of presence with synchronous activation of both hemispheres.
One of Jung's early patients provides evidence of a how this type of mind might work. In Memories, Dreams, Reflections, written by Aniela Jaffé using Jung's notes, much of which ended up on the cutting room floor, we learn of a female patient who heard voices. She described a voice in the middle of the thorax as 'God's voice.' Her other voices were distributed on both sides of her body. The 'divine' voice commanded that Bible chapters be assigned before each therapeutic session followed by a test. After six years of therapy, the voices 'had retired to the left half of her body, while the right half was free of them (127).'" Both sides could speak, with more negativity coming from the right hemisphere; but the left hemisphere, focused on reading and reciting, had healed.
Neuropsychologist D. W. Harrison, writing in 2015, confirms that hallucinations experienced on the left side of the body are negative and coming from the right hemisphere; those experienced on the right are coming from the positive left hemisphere (the proverbial demon on one shoulder, the angel on the other). While writing The Red Book, Jung referred to left- versus right-sided visions. For instance, he describes a vision of a winged being sailing across the sky, coming from the right (= LH provenance), a guru with superior insight, as Shamdasani described him. Jung maintained his therapeutic practice and professional and family activities, retiring to his study in the evenings to engage with his voices and visions.
Even as a child, Jung had been a voracious reader. So, it is not surprising that his readings entered into the dramas he evoked through "active imagination." Shamdasani traces these influences very well, which included the Bible, Swedenborg, Nietzsche and Dante, in his footnotes to The Red Book. Jung admired art as well. William Blake was an influence, although Jung criticized his predecessor's drawings as artistic rather than an "authentic representation of unconscious processes (Letters 2. Pp. 513-14)." Jung also admired Odilon Redon's symbolist paintings. The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Ravenna, Italy, had a strong impact on Jung (as it had on poet and occultist James Merrill who spent 20 years in Ouija Board sessions with his partner, David Jackson). The frescos and mosaics there translated into Jung's own "strong colors, mosaic-like forms, and two dimensional figures without the use of perspective (34)."
Parapsychological events occurred in Jung's house that affected everyone in it. In Shamdasani's account, Jung's son raved in his sleep and couldn't wake up. Asked for paper and colored pencils, he drew "a man angling for fishes with hook and line in the middle of the picture." Again the left/right emotional divide is evident: on the left was the Devil saying something to the man, but on the right was an angel. Two of Jung's daughters "thought they had seen spooks in their rooms." The next day Jung wrote his "Sermons to the Dead," claiming in Memories, Dreams, Reflections that the haunting stopped as soon as he picked up the pen.
Parapsychological events often occur when a strong emotion trapped inside needs to come out. Poltergeist phenomena in adolescent children have been described this way. Both St. Augustine and French writer George Sand claimed to have heard the words "Tolle, Lege" [Pick up and read] from an external voice, leading to a change in life course. She also had an ambiguously gendered inner figure named Corambé with whom she communicated as a child. This figure disappeared after she wrote her first book in a dissociative state. In times of great stress, inner voices can save a suffering soul. What they and we are all seeking is meaning and a way forward in difficult times.
Were Jung's Sermons "a curiosity from the workshop of the unconscious," as he would later say, or was there a deeper meaning? What was the strong need to get those words and images on paper? And who was their author? Shamdasani says Jung's "I" was the author in the "Black Books" section, but it was Philemon in "Scrutinies." In some sections of Liber Novus it is was the serpent or the bird. The overall theme was "how Jung regains his soul and overcomes the contemporary malaise of spiritual alienation. This is ultimately achieved through enabling the rebirth of a new image of God in his soul and developing a new worldview in the form of a psychological and theological cosmology (Shamdasani 48)." In every poet I have studied who held dissociative discourses with "spirits," the end result included a "new" religion.
In my view, as reason gives way to the irrational, a deeper associative meaning can be uncovered, suggesting, in modern neuroscientific terms, a shutdown of the prefrontal cortex where conscious thought is processed, now expressed through symbols and imagery. The logical left hemisphere is giving way to the mythopoeic right that has similarly informed important religious figures in the past.
Was Jung mad? Richard Hull, Jung's translator, wrote to William McGuire, who represented Princeton UP papers, saying but for Jung's "hammer[ing] out his experience into a system of therapy that works," he'd be considered "as mad as a hatter." Further, "[t]he raw material of his experience is Schreber's*** world over again; only by his powers of observation and detachment, and his drive to understand, can it be said of him what Coleridge said in his notebooks of a great metaphysician . . . He looked at his own Soul with Telescope / What seemed all irregular, he saw & shewed to be beautiful Constellations & he added to the Consciousness hidden worlds within worlds (March 17, 1961, Bollingen archives, Library of Congress). The citation from Coleridge was indeed used as a motto for Memories, Dreams, Reflections (see fn. 257, p. 94 in The Red Book: A Reader's Edition)."
By Liber Secundus, Jung seems sure of the Power of the Divine Word that others before him had also received. Writing down the Divine Word protects against "the daimons of the unending, which tear at your soul and want to scatter you to the winds. You are saved if you can say at last: that is that and only that. You speak the magic word, and the limitless is finally banished. Because of that men seek and make words (250)."
From my vantage as a reader of Jung's text, it often does sound mad, with anomalous sense impressions common to psychotic episodes, including his recognizing highly significant messages that nonetheless cannot be understood because they are seen in unusual scripts such as hieroglyphics. The frightening sound of flapping bird wings as well as seeing "shadow forms" are also common. The accent on negativity that Jung hears in his left ear with the word "Misfortune" also shows right-hemispheric provenance. When the God calls to him, the voice is coming from both sides, which Jung interprets as a middle road; but more likely, it is a synchronization of the hemispheres known to occur in oneness experiences, where a sense of self is lost or the self and the divine are felt as coterminous. The very sense that he is working "against will and intention," manipulated by an external source, is telling.
Underneath all of the imagery and voices, three things shine through to me: his mother complex, from which he needed to be freed; his conflicted relationship to his pastor father's religion; and the legitimization of his extra-marital relationship with Toni Wolff. When Elijah gives Salome to Jung in The Red Book, he says, "For God's sake, what should I do with Salome. I am already married and we are not among Turks (435)." Yet a dream will convince him to enter into a sexual relationship with her. The fact that "[a] turbaned Mohammad appears the fourth night after Philemon went away, wearing a long coat and a turban, claiming to bring 'the bliss of paradise, the healing fire, the love of women (539)" is as telling as Jung's interpretation of "Philemon's words that I must remain true to love to cancel out the commingling that arises through unlived love. I understood that the commingling is a bondage that takes the place of voluntary devotion. . . . I had to remain true to love, and, devoted to it voluntarily (540)."
In his epilogue to Liber Novus, Jung wrote that he had worked on the book for 16 years, and then yielded to a study of alchemy, which helped him understand what he had written. He admitted, "To the superficial observer, it will appear like madness. It would also have developed into one, had I not been able to absorb the overpowering force of the original experiences (555)."
A synthesis of supposedly opposing forces occurs in an appendix to Liber Novus: "Logos [male] and Eros [female] are reunited, as if they had overcome the conflict between spirit and flesh. They appear to know the solution. The movement toward the left, which started from Eros at the beginning of the image, now commences from Logos. He starts moving toward the left [the heart side], to complete with seeing eyes what began in blindness (571)."
A final note on the issue of madness: Dirk Corstens, head of the Hearing Voices Network in the Netherlands, does not believe that schizophrenia exists at all; rather, voices are a feature of dissociation, which originates in trauma. The "madness" comes by way of a fearful reaction to the voices. If one engages with the voices, reasons with them, they can be cajoled, tamed, and reduced to harmless or even helping presences. I believe this is what happened in Jung's case. Through his calligraphy and art, he tamed his mind, bringing about his own healing as well as a system that could and does work for so many others.
*According to Shamdasani's research, while Toni Wolff was in analysis with Jung, she was having incredible fantasies. Jung wrote that "her phantasies entered exactly into my line of thought. Toni Wolff was experiencing a similar stream of images. I had evidently infected her, or was the déclencheur that stirred up her imagination. My phantasies and hers were in a participation mystique. It was like common stream, and a common task [April 1-2, 2011 seminar, Jung Center of Houston]."
**Michael Cornwall believes psychotic episodes should rather be termed spiritual states of emergency better treated with compassionate listening than pharmaceuticals. Paranormal connections such as precognition and voices with important messages are frequently reported in these states.
***Daniel Paul Schreber was a German lawyer and judge who had experienced severe trauma as a child because of his father's onerous child-rearing practices. His brother, under the same regime, committed suicide. Schreber passed through several phases of severe mental illness, hearing voices and developing strange views in a very God-driven narrative, leading to his institutionalization. He was eventually released because of his book, and lived peacefully with his wife for some time. But, when she fell victim to a stroke, he relapsed and spent the rest of his life in the asylum. Freud blamed Schreber's illness on repressed homosexual attraction to his own father. Jung disagreed, ascribing Schreber's case to an identification with female fecundity, as he and his wife had not been able to have children. Childhood trauma and current stressors were certainly behind his relapses. Cruel treatments by the director of the asylum and his wife's lack of visits only contributed to his gender dysphoria and delusions of grandiosity. Apparently, gender identity confusion is fairly common in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, as well as in dissociative identity disorder. The voices were, in effect, a way to "make sense" of what he was feeling. Similarly to Jung, Schreber described a left ear connection: "inimical souls always aspired towards my head, on which they wanted to inflict some damage, and sat particularly on my left ear in a highly disturbing manner. To his credit, Freud did say that Schreber's delusions were "an attempt at recovery, a process of reconstruction" (see Rosemary Dinnage's introduction to Schreber's book).

Masters of Doha: the French Teddy Riner signs a golden comeback!
He made his comeback in international competition in Doha, Qatar on this third day of the Masters. A French and world judo superstar, rare in international competition: the French Teddy Riner.
A year after suffering his first defeat in 9 years, the two-time Olympic champion returned to victory by beating the Russian Inal Tasoev, world number 3 in the final. In five fights, Teddy Riner won four by ippon. At 31, Teddy Riner now aims to conquer a third Olympic coronation at the Tokyo Games this summer, a feat that would be historic.
And he is not the only tricolor to smile this Wednesday. The French Madeleine Malonga has confirmed that she is the patron of her category of under 78 kilos. Already world and European champion, the Frenchwoman won against the Japanese Hamada Shori by taking the advantage very early. She received her medal from the president of the Federation of Taekwondo, Judo and Karate of Qatar, Khaled Ben Hamad Alatiya.
"I feel very, good because it was a very important day to win. It is the year of the Olympics and it is important for me to win every fight.", she said after her victory.
The tricolors in gold
And definitely, it was a golden day for the French. In the over 78 kg category, the double European champion Romane Dicko offered the most prestigious victory of her early career with four ippons against four judoka appearing in the top 10, including a world number 1. She also received the special award for the best judoka in the competition. And all this at only 21 years old.
In the under 90 kg category, Dutch world champion Noel Van T'End beat Georgian Beka Gviniashvili. At stake, the first gold medal of the competition for the Dutch.
In the under 100 kg category, Georgian Varlam Liparteliani has proven once again that he is one of the great judokas of his generation. He won his third Masters gold medal scoring a lightning-fast waza-ari in the first fifteen seconds of the bout.
Finally to end these three days in Doha, we leave on this incredible ippon, signed by the Portuguese star Jorge Fonseca. This is our picture of the day, which you can see in the video above.

At McDonald's, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year – not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's.
Annabell: Most of the time..they can't even count the change. It's sad too.
Out of the Blue: can you get waffles and a 40 oz with a chicken sandwich now?
You can get a nappy meal to.
Paul: Maybe McDonalds could next open an illegal Mexican branch so they would all feel at home since they act like it's theirs anyway.
noblinkster: Hey, maybe they will have watermelon on their summer menu!!
Kenyan Chronicles: Check out their CEO–(black)—– He gave $30,000 to odumbo's election —-How much of that came from YOUR wallet?………Enjoy those big-macs!
Captain Obvious: They want separation? Then let them TRY to survive without the "evil" white man!
Nicotinegun: Let McDonalds do what they want. If they want to pander let the ones they pander to pay them for food. Don't go their. Personally, I would like to see a national boycott on any place that has Spanish on their walls, telephones, products, etc. That would be great.
JPT: Since over 40% of blacks are obese, Micky D's is trying to capitalize .
teddy69: yeah, and the other 60% are flat worthless!
teddy69: i'm sure our founding fathers never intended our country to get this messed up! you remember the movie "Planet of The Apes"???
FoxNewsAddict: I will be boycotting McD's until it puts up a WHITE360 website!!!!
SandraR: This is the most racist contrivance I have ever seen in my life. This stupidity needs litigation RASISUM extraordinaire.
kcchiefsfan: I am so pissed off!!! I left them my feedback and ask them when were we going to have a "White McDonalds" website for us white folks too! OMG and leave it to McDonalds!!! I've seen everything now! Isn't that what Popeyes Chicken is for???
Talk about showing your true colors. At least we know where they stand.
Addendum: It just occurred to me that McDonalds is a significant advertiser on Fox News as well as other Murdoch properties. For example: Fox, McDonald's ink blockbuster deal. Does McDonalds know about the hate speech that their business partner is engaging in against them?
Color of Change, are you listening?
← Who's Still Advertising on Glenn Beck?
Like Poe's Law which states that you can't parody Fundies since their rhetoric is too outrageous to mimic, the far right has reached inanity Nirvana. My favorite is Teddy69: "I'm sure our founding fathers never intended for our country to get this messed up…" Yeah, back when the slaves worked for free the idea that a web site that would cater to blacks would exist just didn't occur to them. And those cries for a "white web site"! Like Fox Nation is a haven of multiculturalism.
Argh! It is written into California's constitution that everything must be in both spanish and english. This was a condition on which the U.S. acquired California!
That is incorrect. That provision does not exsist in California's constitution.
And how many people of African decent have ever eaten Baobab fruit or even know what the hell a Baobab Tree is? I feel bad for the actual Africans being nourished be this tree if it's fruit is compared to McDonald's food. Does the Baobab Tree clog arteries and rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients too?
I just wrote something up about it as well.
I can't disagree. I'm a anti-consumerist vegetarian, so my intent here was not to promote McDonalds – which I can't stand. But I thought it was important to reveal the depth of the racism that is openly displayed by the FoxPods.

13 Zombie Video Games to Play For Halloween
Oct 07, 2018 GamerZakh
Gaming to get into the spooky mood
Halloween is a great excuse to talk about scary games but in this article I want to focus more on exciting and fun zombie games to play. No ultra scary horrors here like Amnesia or SOMA; zombie games tend to be more action-oriented or survival-based. I've split the games to single-player and multiplayer, that way you can find the games you want most depending on whether you're feeling like playing solo or with friends. Also, even though these games are great for Halloween season, they're great to play year-round too, so let's have a look.
WARNING! ZOMBIES & VIOLENCE AHEAD!
Single-player for some Solo Halloweening
1. They Are Billions
Survive against waves of the zombie horde as you collect resources, build your city, and train an army. Part city-builder; part RTS; part tower defence, They Are Billions charged its way into the gaming scene and was an instant hit with its high level of difficulty and unique zombie steampunk setting. You will die a lot in this game especially when you're learning the ropes but there's something about trying to build the perfect base and defences then watching the almost fluid-like zombie horde crash upon your walls and disintegrate. Few games can provide that satisfaction.
2. Graveyard Keeper
Think Stardew Valley but alongside managing a farm you develop a graveyard. Set in medieval times, there are obvious inspirations from Stardew Valley with farming, fishing, dealing with the locals, and even dungeon crawling, but this has the addition of corpses as a resource and burning 'witches' at the stake. Not a scary game but a perfect one to chill and relax with around the Halloween period.
3. Organ Trail
No, I didn't mean Oregon Trail, this is a journey with significantly more dead and it's not just because of dysentery (although there is still dysentery). Styled after the original 1985 game Oregon Trail, here's a retro-themed zombie apocalypse that plays the same but with more gameplay mechanics and zombies. Scavenge for supplies, manage your resources, travel across the US, fight off bandits, upgrade your car, and put down infected party members. If you're feeling old school, give this a shot.
4. Plants VS Zombies 1 & 2
On the more casual side but still in the zombie mood, Plants VS Zombies (PVZ) can be fun and there can be surprising depth behind it's cute visuals. PVZ is a massively popular game and you've probably already heard of it if not played it, but it's good for some nice chill gameplay especially if you're on the go and only have your phone with you. Maybe something to play while waiting for a Halloween party to start?
5. Dead Rising 1 & 2
Over the top, hilarious, and insane, the first two Dead Rising games are known to be fun and action packed. 'Creativity kills' here with ridiculous weapons and using the environment in novel ways to clear the zombie horde. A good and funny zombie game is hard to come by, which is probably why the 3rd and 4th game in the series aren't so well liked, but this kind of 'lighthearted horror' is perfect for the season and the 2nd game even has 2-player co-op if you want to team up with a friend.
6. Resident Evil
The game that defined 'Survival Horror', there are now a lot of Resident Evil games out there. Many are critically acclaimed and loved by the community (some aren't as loved, so check reviews before buying) and there's even a remake of the absolute favourite 1998 Resident Evil 2 in the works set for 2019. If you've never played one before, the first game got a HD remaster, and if you're a fan maybe you could go back to the start and relive the nightmare.
Multiplayer & Co-op to Survive with Friends
1. Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
Probably the best and most fun zombie game to play with friends ever, team up and shoot your way through the undead, working together and keeping each other alive. You and up to three friends against a post-apocalyptic world is a great experience with the story, five expansive campaigns, and a ton of weapons. It's an older game at this point with the sequel being a decade old but if you've never played it or haven't in a long while, you can try another run. It's super cheap on Steam too and often goes on sale, so that's not an issue either.
2. The Forest
You and a few others have crashed on a mysterious island and need to build a base, fight off local cannibals, and uncover the mysteries around you. Don't worry, the zombies will show up before long and soon you'll be surrounded by monstrosities. This game was in development for a long time and wasn't all that great at the start. Now, however, it's grown into something quite epic. It's a large island with lots to see and do, so you could go it solo but embarking on this adventure with a few friends makes it all the more fun.
3. Dying Light
If you don't remember this one from 2015, it's the one with parkour and zombies. The sequel is in the works but what sets this one apart is not just the fast-paced movement but also the day/night cycle where you dominate when the sun is up but at night the zombies can parkour too. It's another one you can play by yourself but 4-player co-op is available for the story campaign and special co-op challenges and see which of you is better at surviving until dawn.
4. State of Decay 2
A zombie survival game where 4 players can build a community of survivors, establishing a base, developing abilities, and manage resources in a world where your choices will have consequences. Politics come in when it comes to making allies and every step comes with risk and reward. A word of warning though, this game is known to be a bit buggy and might not be as refined as it should be. Check reviews before buying then at least you can go in knowing what you're up against.
5. Killing Floor 2
6-player co-op and 12-player versus survival mode make this a good one for zombie multiplayer and you can actually play the 'Zeds' (zombies) now. It's an action packed one with lots of over the top gore, as you can see from any of their trailers, and Halloween themed events makes this even more of a pick for this season. The game is very well liked and if you're into this kind of thing you can see why. Polished gameplay, constant updates, and somethings that doesn't take itself too seriously. A good one to jump into for an action, shooty, zombie game.
6. Call of Duty: Black Ops IV Zombies Mode
A new Call of Duty is on the way and there is much hype for Black Ops 4, which is also including a zombie mode that you can check out this Halloween. A new cast of characters and three separate zombie-themed experiences will be available at launch and it looks like it might be able to set itself apart in its own unique way. Call of Duty games aren't always the best of the best in the games industry though and some are definitely better than others. A safe bet would be to check reviews before buying, but with a good group of friends any zombie game can be a thrilling experience.
A Note on The Walking Dead by Telltale Games!
Telltale games… if you haven't heard, the iconic adventure games studio has recently gone bust, leaving many game series up in the air without a conclusion. Most notably, The Walking Dead adventure game is in its final season and it's unclear if the end of the game will ever be made. Recent reports now say Skybound will pick up the series and finish it, but new developers half way through the season could change things up. Either way, right now it's an amazing game with a great zombie apocalypse story without an ending, which isn't the worst thing in the world. If you're okay with that, give it a play, but if not then keep an eye on the news to see if the new studio does a good job completing it.

Great honey treat with your morning coffee.
Add all ingredients to a large glass jar with a lid, give it a quick stir, then put the lid on. Shake it to mix it all up.
Let rest covered in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours (or until it's achieved a pudding-like consistency), stirring occasionally.
Serve the pudding chilled with whatever topping you'd like. I used goji berries and coconut. You can use nuts, fruits, coconut cream etc.

The doors are open and the Storm is running through their final preparations before taking off for their exhibition road openers against Chicago and Sacramento. Heard Saturday and Monday's practices were long and grueling. Coach Brian Agler is working the defensive angle and he'll look for that to show through against the Sky on Wednesday.
STARTING LINEUP: Looks as if Kimberly Beck, Sheryl Swoopes, Katie Gearlds, Shyra Ely, and Yolanda Griffith will be the starting five against the Sky. Ashley Robinson was a candidate at power forward, but she's running with the second team. UW product Kristen O'Neill is also with the second team along with Dee Davis, Allie Quigley, and Leah Rush.
OWNERS IN THE HOUSE: Force 10 Hoops members Lisa Brummel and Ginny Gilder are watching practice. Gilder is becoming a regular while this is the first Brummel I've seen of Brummel at practice. She's often on the road with her Microsoft gig and even missed media day. The owners said they were going to take advantage of their access, though, wanting the players to get to know them on a personal level. Different, but not out of the norm. Jack Rodgers was a minority owner of the Storm under Howard Schultz' regime and Rodgers held an annual party for the players at his Mercer Island home.
CASH BANGED UP: If you caught Swin Cash in Team USA's loss to China over the weekend, the star wing didn't look promising. A known slasher, Cash hasn't put up good numbers in the tournament and was 2-for-3 for five points and five rebounds in 21 minutes. She didn't appear as if she was in shape, which could open the door for a starting wing on the Storm roster. Agler said Cash bruised her knee in China, although she played. She's going to have it evaluated in Miami before joining the Storm in Sacramento for the exhibition game on Friday. "She was healthy enough to play and statistically it was one of her better games," Agler said of the game, not being able to watch it himself due to camp.


The vessel's national flag - not necessarily the same nationality as the skipper or owner - should be displayed at the stern of the yacht; however on traditional yachts, placement on the main leech or gaff is historically more correct.
If the crew's nationality differs from that of the yacht, the crew's national flag can be flown under the courtesy flag at the starboard spreader. Likewise the nationality of an important guest on board is displayed this way.
Note that the European flag should not be used, since it doesn't refer to a nation.
Flag and ensign are synonymous. The name ensign is derived from the French enseigne and Latin plural insignia.
When in foreign waters the courtesy ensign, often the national flag of that country, is hoisted under the starboard spreader of the most forward mast. On a mastless powerboat, the courtesy flag replaces any flag that is normally flown at the bow.
Like the national flags or ensigns, the courtesy flag is hoisted at 08:00 local time and lowered at sunset. Yet, when manoeuvring - for example entering or leaving port - the national flags should be flown even at night until your ship is out of sight or safely at dock.
The - often triangular - burgee from the skipper's yacht club or sailing organisation is also hoisted at the starboard spreader, but below the courtesy flag. International yacht club burgees are often hoisted above the nationality flags of crew or guests. Yet, purists will say that also crew national flags should be hoisted above any burgee. Too avoid possible insult it is therefore best to fly your burgee below all national flags!
The burgee may be flown day and night.
First drafted in 1855, this visual system was first published internationally in 1857 and gradually adopted by most seafaring nations. The 1932 modernisation allowed for new situations like a medical distress call involving radiation casualties (AN 2). Some other interesting examples: (IT): I am on fire; (US 4): Nothing can be done until weather moderates; (GM): I cannot save my vessel; (NC No and Yes) is used as a distress signal.
Though, in nearly all countries the white & blue A flag is used as the diver's flag, which is only technically correct if the divers are physically connected to the vessel with an "umbilical cord", preventing the vessel from manoeuvring. The red flag with the white stripe is only official in Canada, Italy and some states of the USA, but since it aims to protect the divers below instead of the vessel, many divers choose wisely to hoist both flags.

The Small Business Administration publishes an interest rate called the optional ''peg'' rate (13 CFR 120.214) on a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted average cost of money to the government for maturities similar to the average SBA direct loan. This rate may be used as a base rate for guaranteed fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This rate will be 2.250 (21⁄4) percent for the January—March quarter of FY 2013.
Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the maximum legal interest rate for any third party lender's commercial loan which funds any portion of the cost of a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall be 6% over the New York Prime rate or, if that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by the constitution or laws of a given State, the maximum interest rate will be the rate permitted by the constitution or laws of the given State.
