'It's a valued service, don't bin it': why young people need Castlegate
29 Castlegate… will live on, in a new location

Since 2007 young people in York have been getting help from 29 Castlegate.
Anyone aged between 16 and 25 can go along to this one-stop shop and access everything from careers advice to counselling.
A petition calling on council leader James Alexander to review the proposed closure of the holistic service provided at Castlegate had received nearly 700 signatures by lunchtime on October 7.

But not for much longer. City of York Council is recommending that 29 Castlegate close.
A paper being discussed at a meeting of council's cabinet on Tuesday (October 7) proposes relocating the services it offers to the council HQ, West Offices.
However many previous users of 29 Castlegate, along with York youth workers, feel that this will provide a greatly restricted service in a setting inappropriate for the young people involved.
They are asking the council for more time to put together an alternative approach. As things stand, 29 Castlegate will close next March, when the personal support and inclusion (PSI) workers have been told they will be made redundant.
What is 29 Castlegate?
It is a one-stop shop for York people aged 16-25 who need help, information and guidance.
Housed in a council-owned Grade II listed building behind Fenwicks, it is home to support workers, careers advisors and counsellors.
They are on hand to support young people with concerns as wide ranging as finding a job or college course, seeking advice on housing, or wanting to talk to someone about debt, mental health issues, drugs or a myriad of other problems.
It grew out of the Youth Enquiry Service and was created in close consultation with young people.
Although up-to-date figures are not in the public realm, a report from 2010-11 revealed that 7,380 visits were made to Castlegate that year.
Why is it set to close?
The council has looked at what it provides for young people as part of its Rewiring Public Services programme.
It has to find a way to meet increasing demand for services on a much-reduced grant from central government.
Closing Castlegate will save money. But the council report also says that by moving services to its West Offices HQ they can provide –
"an enhanced and co-ordinated post 16 young people's service… The new service will work together with existing council services such as Housing, Benefits, York Learning and Future Prospects and with partners including Job Centre Plus, Citizens Advice Bureau and others to deliver the support currently given under one roof"
Who does 29 Castlegate help?
Dawn outlined how a young person might use 29 Castlegate:
He might start talking about the fact he's on a zero hours contract and so needed a new job.
He builds up trust with the worker and builds a relationship, and starts telling them more what's going on – because he's on a zero hours contract he hasn't got much money, so he borrowed a hundred quid from Wonga.
Then he owes god knows how much, so he hasn't paid his mum rent, so his mum's kicked him out.
He's sofa surfing and hasn't been sleeping properly and hit his girlfriend last night for no reason and is really frightened about that and needs someone to talk about counselling.
At the moment, "you could sort that out in the one building," Dawn said.
Dawn Moores, who managed 29 Castlegate from 2007 to 2011, said it varies from the
university student who's being abused by her father,
to someone worried they're using too much cannabis,
to a young man who comes in with his hand all bashed up after he kept hitting the wall because he's so angry and doesn't know what to do with his life,
to somebody who just needs a new job.
Because the centre has a holistic approach, young people can build up trust with the youth workers over time.
But that approach will disappear under these proposals, says Carole Pugh, a former York youth worker who now lectures on youth work.
"The PSI workers have been told they will be made redundant and won't be in post any more, so that wrap-around service will definitely go.
"They're the people who do the holistic advice bit – housing, benefits, emotional support, relationships – not one single focus.
"The bit that's being maintained is the careers advisers: education and employment advice."
Losing Castlegate will mean "there is nowhere for 16-25 year olds to find holistic support, where you can go in about anything and find out about everything," says Dawn.
"And that there are no other agencies in the city that can actually pick up the work either, because everybody's over-stretched."
Could the same service be offered at West Offices?
No, say campaigners. For a start the council HQ "is not very young people friendly, we know there are issues for young people going in to that building," says Carole.
"It's very corporate, it's big – are you going to do a pregnancy test in there? Probably not."
However they recognise the service may have to relocate.
"It's not about the building, it's about the holistic provision – a provision where a young person can explore everything that's going on for them in one place, rather than having to go here, there and everywhere," said Dawn.
What about counselling and over 19s?
"It's not clear what's happening to counselling from the council report," says Carole.
"The counselling service that runs from Castlegate is very well used. There's a waiting list, and has been for years."
She believes that Castlegate's services will be withdrawn completely for those over 19 years old, who will be expected to use the adult services.
"The reason that those young people use Castlegate is they need a little bit more help than that. They need a holistic, wrap-around – they're not managing to navigate across a range of different agencies on their own."
What will be the impact of the proposals?
"It will have a massive impact not just on the 16-year-olds that are around today, but for the next five or ten years," says Carole.
Also the early intervention work undertaken at Castlegate saves money in the long run, she argues.
Many of the people seen there "haven't quite got a social worker – but things really aren't great in their lives.
"If you can work with them without them having to hit that statutory level it's much cheaper and more effective."
Or as Dawn sees it: "Where will the young person go who's sexually exploited in future? Because they can go to Castlegate.
"They start by going in and saying, 'I need a new job' and two months down the road, when you know the worker really well you might actually say what's going on for you."
So just carry on as normal?
Carole and Dawn recognise that's not possible, and councillors have to make changes. "They've got some horrendous cuts to find," said Carole.
"They've got to find half a million across children's services and they can't do that without it having an impact on service delivery."
Dawn agrees. "It's very hard for them, I wouldn't like to have to do it."
What they want is more time: "We might be able to find some other way of delivering a service – a smaller service, which can then grow again," Dawn said.
York survival guide
Anyone who has been through school in York recently will have received a copy of the Young People's Survival Guide To York.
Covering topics from health to housing, money to relationships it has been an invaluable resource for people moving into adulthood.
"It is just celebrating its 22nd edition," said Carole. "The guide is another proactive way of supporting young people – it goes to schools across the city.
"Produced by York Action On Young Homeless, it's written by the staff at Castlegate. Over the years people have used it and used it. That's another element that will be lost."
What could we do instead?
Instead of centralising an education and careers-focused service in West Offices, give the various agencies enough time to put together another approach says Carole.
"There's a group of us who've met to look at whether we could take the service outside of the council – set up as a charity or as a social enterprise."
She said the sorts of agencies that could come together to support such an enterprise could include "York Mind, Citizens' Advice Bureau, potentially the library".
"But if at this stage you decide that the holistic support is going and that's the end of it there's not that much we can work with.
"What we're saying is 'can you slow this timescale down?' Because getting anything new up and running by March next year isn't feasible.
"If they demolish it, we lose the staff, we lose the expertise, we lose the policies and processes, we lose the legacy, the contacts – everything.
"It's a valued service, don't just bin it."
The proposal to close 29 Castlegate goes before the council cabinet meeting which starts at 5.30pm on Tuesday, October 7, and is live streamed via the council website.
If cabinet agrees to close it, the council opposition might call in the proposal.

Transmission: Automatic Color:Silver Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (0 reviews) This vehicle has a great ride and great gas mileage. I love that it has a feature to track my mileage for the most recent 50 miles. Just today my average mileage was 27.8 miles per gallon and my best mileage was 33.2 miles per gallon. Plenty of room for all my shopping needs. Love the kickplate that keeps items from falling between the cargo space and the rear seats. great feature that the rear seats can be adjusted forward and backward as needed. I feel very safe on the road. Great visibility.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Black Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (5 reviews) Full-size, part-time 4x4 pickup with front bench seat. Crew cab offering rear leg room for folks over 6 feet tall. Towing package with integral brake controller and auxiliary transmission cooler. Good visibility. The only thing it doesn't have is parking sensors & trailer mirrors.
Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (5 reviews) We've had this car for about a year and a half. It's been a very reliable vehicle. Our only trouble with it has been at 60,000 miles the power steering pump went out and we developed a knock in the steering which had us replacing rack and pinion. I don't believe this should be a problem with a vehicle with less than 100K on it, but it was a fleet vehicle before we bought it. I'm not a pro, but I choose to give the vehicle the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe it wasn't cared for as it should have been since it belonged to a fleet. Other than that, the car has been a dream to drive. We've taken it on trips half way across the US, and it's very comfortable. As long as we have no more major problems, I will buy another.

The latest generation systems enable metering of electricity. Bi-directional communication, transfer of read out values and their visualization provide complete calibration of the solutions used. Progress in development of the latest technologies allows using more functional electricity meters enabling the metering of significant parameters of power grids. Metering equipment can operate in post-paid and pre-paid systems and at the same it collects data read out making them available to billing or statistical systems. It is also possible to monitor the information on errors or failures and therefore it allows reacting immediately by operator in such situation.

The Guidi were a Tuscan aristocratic family prominent in the region during the Middle Ages. Descended from Tegrimo Guidi, the family practised partible inheritance and in the thirteenth century began to split into separate cadet lineages.

Since the 11th century, the Poppi Castle in Tuscany was the property and main residence of the noble family of the Conti Guidi.

Early history
The Guidi family descended from Lombards settled in Tuscany in the mid 10th century. Guidi family legend stated that the progenitor of the family, Tegrimo Guidi, presented Lady Engelrada, the daughter of Duke Martino of Ravenna, with a stag he had killed. This gesture won her favour and the two were married, increasing Tegrimo's influence among the nobles of Emilia-Romagna.

By 960 Guido Guidi, son of Tegrimo, had acquired property in the valley of Sieve, granted to him by Oberto, son of Hugh, Margrave of Tuscany. Guido also expanded the family control over the town of Pistoia. In Pistoia the family owned a number of houses with a tower close to the city walls commanding the gateway. As a result, the entrance to the town came to be known as Porta Guidi.

Guido's son, Giovanni Guidi, resided as a monk in Florence. in 1035 he accused several ecclesiastics of simony, and was forced to flee the city as a result. He sought refuge in the hermitage of Acqua Bella. Here, he helped turn the hermitage into a prominent monastery.

Guido Guidi's grandson by Tegrimo II, named Guido II, lived in open enmity with the church and came into conflict with Peter Damian following the death of his father in 1010. in 1043, Guido acquired the town of Empoli from Pisa. Guido also robbed the Abbey of Florence of gold, jewels, and artifacts.

Guido II also had a son named Guido – Guido III. Unlike his father, Guido was on good terms with the clergy and was influenced by the reform movement of Florence led by Giovanni Gualberto. Guido returned the gold and jewels looted from the Abbey of Florence by his father and paid for the construction of a hospital within the city. Guido sided with Matilda of Tuscany during the Investiture Controversy. Guido's two sons, Guido and Tegrimo left Italy for Palestine during the First Crusade, however both were imprisoned in 1097 for unspecified reasons. Their father was forced to raise money in order to pay the ransom for their release in May 1099. Later in 1099 Matilda of Tuscany formally adopted Guido's son, Guido, granting him the title of marquis. By 1102 Guido the younger had assumed the position as head of the family. By 1109 he lent his support to the town of Faenza in their revolt against Etelberto, Bishop of Ravenna, who traditionally held the right to appoint a count to the town. Guido's aid led to Etelberto lifting his siege of the town.

By now the nearby city of Florence had increased tremendously in size and influence as a result of the conflict in Tuscany during the Investiture Controversy. The city did not submit to the rule of Matilda's successor, Rabodo, marquis of Tuscany, and instead favoured self rule as a republic. The growing power of Florence directly threatened the power of the Guidi counts in the outskirts of the city and in the surrounding rural areas.

Members of the Guidi family became political leaders and magistrates in the rural communities they ruled over, whilst others became military chiefs in the conflicts of central Italy. However there is no evidence to suggest that any member of the Guidi family became a professional condottiere.

Decline
By the early thirteenth century the lordships of the Guidi counts dotted the Apennines between Romagna and Tuscany, from the Mugello to the Casentino, and other lordships subject to them lay in the lower Valdarno west of Florence (Empoli and other castellanies), the upper Valdarno, the Pratomagno and the Val d'Ambra.

The mid thirteenth century saw hostility directed towards the Guidi family from the Republic of Florence, which saw the rural lordships of the Guidi as a block to Florentine ambitions of regional hegemony.

By the fourteenth century the powers of the rural Guidi lordships had progressively been eroded by the Florentines. The last bastion of Guidi power in central Italy, the Poppi Castle, was surrendered to Florence in 1440.

Russian astronaut on the ISS claims to see UFOs in new footage
Josh K. Elliott GlobalNews.ca
WATCH: Russian astronaut Ivan Vagner was hoping to capture something spectacular on camera from his current home aboard the International Space Station — the aurora passing over the Antarctic.
Ivan Vagner, a Russian cosmonaut currently orbiting the Earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS), claims to have captured footage of potential UFOs while recording video of the southern lights.
"Space guests, or how I filmed the new time-lapse," Vagner wrote in a tweet featuring the video on Wednesday morning.
The one-minute video shows the aurora australis passing near Antarctica and Australia, Vagner says.
"However, in the video, you will see something else, not only the aurora," he wrote.
Car-sized asteroid passed Earth by a cosmic hair — and NASA missed it
The footage shows the curved edge of the Earth at night, with the green swirl of the aurora moving across its surface and several star pinpoints visible in the background.
"At 9-12 seconds, 5 objects appear flying alongside with the same distance," Vagner wrote in a follow-up tweet. "What do you think those are? Meteors, satellites or … ?"
Space guests, or how I filmed the new time-lapse.

— Ivan Vagner (@ivan_mks63) August 19, 2020
He added that the video was shot in a time-lapse, so the brief flash of the "objects" actually lasted for about 52 seconds in real-time.
Vagner did not claim to see the phenomenon as it happened, and no one else aboard the ISS has acknowledged it. He also did not indicate exactly when the footage was captured.
Whatever the phenomenon was, it does appear as a string of lights arranged in a clear, angled line in the video.
Russian astronaut Ivan Vagner claims that several dots lined up in space over the Earth are 'space guests.'
Ivan Vagner/Twitter
Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, shared the video on its own Twitter account on Wednesday.
"An interesting and at the same time mysterious video made by cosmonaut of Roscosmos Ivan Wagner … from the International Space Station," the agency tweeted, along with a thoughtful emoji.
Vagner says he flagged the video to Roscosmos management, and that it's currently being examined by experts at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
First-ever 'family' photo shows two planets orbiting a young star
Roscosmos spokesperson Vladimir Ustimenko has confirmed that the video is under review, according to the Russian news agency TASS.
"It is too early to make conclusions until our Roscosmos researchers and scientists at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences tell us what they think," Ustimenko said. "It was decided to hand over those materials to experts, who will tell us what that was in their opinion."
Vagner, 35, is a first-time crew member aboard the ISS, where he and fellow Russian Anatoli Ivanishin are working with Chris Cassidy, the American commander of the expedition.
NASA did not mention Vagner's video in a blog update about the mission on Wednesday. The blog says Vagner recently worked on the station's orbital plumbing "before exploring ways to improve Earth photography techniques."
Cassidy has not tweeted anything about Vagner's video, and Ivanishin is not on Twitter.
Mystery radio signal first spotted in Canada traced to nearby galaxy
Aliens and UFO sightings have long been derided as taboo topics for people in tinfoil hats. However, the subject has slowly crept into the mainstream in recent years, particularly after the New York Times revealed that the U.S. government-funded research into the topic for several years and that the research was still going on.
One former contractor told the Times that he'd briefed Pentagon officials on the retrieval of "off-world vehicles not made on this earth."
The Pentagon has since acknowledged that it has recorded encounters with "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" (UAP).
The U.S. Department of Defence officially released three videos last April that show some of the UAPs in action. The videos were originally leaked by Tom DeLonge, the former Blink-182 frontman who co-founded an alien research organization.
The phenomena remain unexplained, despite rampant speculation about visitors from other planets. U.S. officials have said they're being more forthcoming about UAPs because they could be a threat. They also want military members to report potential encounters, rather than ignoring them because of a stigma around the topic.
The Pentagon announced on Aug. 14 that it had launched a UAP task force to "improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of UAPs."
The task force's goal is to "detect, analyze and catalogue UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security."
There remains no definitive proof that aliens have visited Earth, and all unidentified foreign objects — or unidentified aerial phenomena — remain unexplained, as their names say.
A tongue-in-cheek effort to "Storm Area 51" and "free" captive aliens also failed last year, despite plenty of enthusiasm for the idea.

Haboob
Haboob (Muenchen) - 1 albums
mysterious one-off project, co-led by 3 US expatriots living in Munich, Germany: Keyboardist Jimmy Jackson, drummer George Green and Guitarist William Powell. Major point of interest for most progressive and psychedelic rockfans is Haboobs very significant connection with Amon D��l II. Bandleader Jimmy Jackson plays organ on Amon D��ls Albums "Dance of The Lemmings" and "Wolf City". He also played organ on many LPs of Embryo (Embryos Rache, Steig aus, Rock Session) and has further numerous studio credits (for example: Doldinger's Passport, Tangerine Dream "Electronic Meditation"). On Haboob Jackson effects-laden organ and mellotron (here called "choir-organ) are quite prominent. LP is comprised of a free improvisation, a very Hendrix-inspired Blues and some pretty straight forward funk-rock pieces. The end result is a collaboration between Amon D��l II and early Funkedelic. The music has a lot of appeal and those who are interested in a fusion of Euro-psychedelic rock with hints of funk should definitely seek this one out. (Longhair)

Old for new, this for that, goods for cash. Exchanging goods, services, skills, land—even people—has pushed the world toward its current state. And, for better or for worse, it underpins our modern world. The latest issue of Makeshift Magazine explores the intricate labyrinth of trade around the world. But we're not talking about Wall Street here. We're talking about inventive exchanges and backroom deals. This latest issue features everything from analog wire transfers in the Middle East, organ swapping in China, and bustling exchange in the Nakivale refugee camp.
I had the opportunity to sit down with the community organizers behind the Trade School Toronto (TSTO) and write about this growing global network of learning spaces that run exclusively on barter. Anyone can teach a class and students attend with barter items that the teacher requests. Two-hour classes run the gamut from urban forestry to learning the 8-count lindy hop. And you can learn it all for the price of a vegan meal, a song, a baking sheet, or even just the simple promise to try swing dancing again. TSTO and its equivalents around the world is a manifestation of the move away from traditional educational systems to alternative, more accessible learning models.

Grant Gustin Poses Next To Oliver Queen's Grave
Date Started: January 2020
Grant Gustin Poses Next To Oliver Queen's Grave is a meme based on a behind the scenes photo from the set of the Arrowverse. It shows actor Grant Gustin (Barry Allen) kneeling next to Oliver Queen's grave and making the peace sign.
Fans often use this meme to depict a character celebrating the death of someone they don't like, or someone who was an obstacle for them. It can also be used to show a fan or fandom's positive reaction to the death of a character. Some characters who have died and been resurrected may also be shown next to their own graves.

'Nine' Press Conference & Background Information
Last Saturday, Marion Cotillard together with Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench attended the press conference for 'Nine' at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. I've added some pictures to the gallery.
Read an interview with composer-lyricist Maury Yeston about his work on 'Nine' on Playbill.com. Some quotes about Marion's song Take It All (presently available on YouTube):
The wife's 11 o'clock number, "Be on Your Own," sung as she hits the exit for good. The closing lines of it — "You'll take with you all you own / From A to Z / . . . And all of me" — inspired, at Marshall's suggestion, a new number: "Take It All."
"'Be On Your Own' is a song that made me very proud when I wrote it the first time," Yeston admitted. "It always had a wonderful and scathing effect on stage, but, as I have said, you need action in a film. Film is far more literal and far more specific than a stage show. No matter how detailed the set of a stage show is, it could never be as detailed as actually being in an actual place in a movie. You see the details of every room, you see the props, you see the lights. You are meant to accept this as literally the real world, whereas in theatre we give you a white tile set or a unit set in the abstract and we ask you to use your imagination. Because film is more literal, you really do have to go farther out on a limb to become theatrical."
Yet another Oscar winner, Anthony Minghella ("The English Patient"), weighed in on that number. He did the final polish on Michael Tolkin's screenplay, finishing it just days before his death, and it was his suggestion that the number be shared with Kidman and Cruz. "Three women are leaving Guido at the same time, but only one of them devoted her life to him. Only one of them has been married to him for 20 years. Only one of them is giving up everything in her body and soul. Once we explored it, it did not make any sense for three women to share and participate in the depth of despair and anger that only one of them had really earned. So we restored it to a solo.
"I saw Marion Cotillard's movie three times, and 'Take It All' is as much inspired by Marion Cotillard as 'Folies Bergeres' was inspired by Liliane Montevecchi. I think that's, sometimes, when you do your best work because you realize 'Nothing that I write makes any sense if I don't have a brilliant actor to put it across the footlights to the audience.' Here, I knew I was writing for the specific gifts of a brilliant actress.

Worlds collide..will love survive prejudice and social custom?
Barbour Publishing July 1, 2012
Review eBook via NetGalley
Burton Book Review Rating: 4.5 stars, LOVED this story!
Be swept away to Charleston of 1811, a city bustling with immigrants like Adalia, who is a runaway slave so light-skinned that no one guesses her past. Terrified her secret will be discovered, she settles into a quiet life making herbal remedies for a local doctor. But when Morgan, the handsome son of a prominent family, sweeps her into his glamorous world—a world in which the truth about Adalia's heritage would ruin them both—suspicions and petty jealousies are aroused. What will Morgan do when he discovers that the woman he has fallen in love with is a runaway slave?
Veil of Pearls has a magnificent storyline with a bit of a Cinderella theme but is certainly more realistically told. It also tackles the plight of the slaves as our main protagonist is a runaway slave trying to hide her true identity in efforts to escape an abusive owner and begin a new life for herself. Adalia doesn't fit in right away in her new town of Charleston because high society has taken notice of her.. Morgan Rutledge in particular. He senses a kindred spirit and is immediately entranced by Adalia, much to the chagrin of his admirers. Adalia's fair skin gives no hint that she was once a slave, and the attitude of the day was that slaves were property and nothing more. It is because of the scorn of society that Adalia seeks to hide the very personal reasons behind her stand against slavery, but secrets have a way of coming out at the worst times.
Adalia knows in her heart that any courtship would lead to heartbreak or ridicule, and she spurns the wealthy Morgan Rutledge's many chivalrous advances. With each denial, Morgan becomes more and more determined. Meanwhile, the good Dr. Willaby whom Adalia is assisting tells Adalia to stay away from those Rutledges. True love, however, cannot be thwarted, and the two become closer despite the demands of high society.
Vicious slave owners, jealous women, sweet slave girls and jovial ship owners are all just a sampling of the mix of characters portrayed in Veil of Pearls. From romance at a ball to heroes of the sea, this is a story that begs the question if we should be shameful of our heritage or embrace it as a gift from God? All together it gives us an important story with purpose, as it teaches that God has a plan. I loved this story of opposite worlds colliding, and it was the first novel from the author that I had read. Based on the writing skill demonstrated here, it won't be my last. Highly recommended!

There are a few prototype systems which look like they could be useful. If anyone fancies knocking up a service to check the BBC film release calendar and email users when a new film directed/produced/starring someone they have designated on a watch list, I'd use it.

I've been Adopted! -Mouse is quietly waiting for someone to love her forever!
Mouse had the misfortune of ending up in Animal Services after being found as a stray. She has this tiny little squeak almost like a mouse and such a happy personality that we just couldn't leave her there so off to the clinic she went. This little girl would do well in a quieter home. She's about a year old and just waiting for a family of her own.


Decades-old O'Neill Regional Park near Rancho Santa Margarita has a newer "appendage" — a six-mile piece of the Arroyo Trabuco, a shallow, gradually descending canyon going south toward Mission Viejo. An old fire road along the arroyo stream has been converted into a hike-and-bike trail, making possible an easygoing trip through the canyon. Those on foot may want to arrange a drop-off-and-pick-up scheme and avoid retracing steps by going one-way downhill (north to south). Mountain bikers, though, should have no problem completing the 12-mile round-trip.
Begin at the west end of the Oak Grove day-use area, west of the O'Neill Park office, where the well-marked trail down along the Arroyo Trabuco begins. As summer approaches, not much water can be found in the arroyo bottom. You soon pass under a massive twin bridge (Foothill Transportation Corridor toll road, Highway 241) and later pass under another equally huge bridge (Santa Margarita Parkway). As an environmental mitigation for the construction of these bridges, county workers and volunteers planted on the arroyo banks thousands of native trees and shrubs — live oak, sycamore, toyon, mulefat, and willow.
At 1.9 miles, well past the second bridge, the trail swings left across the creek and ascends moderately toward the rim of the shallow gorge and toward a subdivision built upon the sloping plain to the east, called Plano Trabuco. The plano ("plain" in English) is a broad terrace made up of alluvial deposits cast off of the Santa Ana Mountains. Over recent geologic time, the abrasive floodwaters of Arroyo Trabuco have cut about 100 feet deep into Plano Trabuco's soft sediments. Plano Trabuco acquired its name in 1769, when a Spanish soldier traveling with the Portola expedition lost a blunderbuss (trabuco) there. A string of contemporary place names are descended from the original: Arroyo Trabuco, Trabuco Canyon, and the Trabuco Ranger District — the part of Cleveland National Forest that encompasses the Santa Ana Mountains.
After a moderate ascent, the Arroyo Trabuco Trail sidles up to a residential street called Arroyo Vista, where there is a signed access point for the trail. Plenty of curbside parking is available here, if you want to plan a shorter trip up or down the arroyo. A mile farther, the trail descends back into the gorge. On the left, before you begin the descent, notice a small structure accompanied by a historical plaque. This marks the campsite, designated San Francisco Solano, used by the Portola expedition on the night of July 24, 1769.
After the descent, the trail continues for another two miles down alongside the wide floodplain, always staying close to the streambed. This is perhaps the most agreeable part of the arroyo with gnarled sycamores and oaks alternating with grassy clearings. After three stream crossings, the Oso Parkway bridge looms high overhead. Underneath it you can pick up a powerline access road up the right (west) slope of the arroyo and ascend to reach the shoulder of Oso Parkway. No parking is provided at this end of the trail, though a concrete apron allows westbound cars to pull off the parkway at that spot and pick up passengers.
Hike or bike down the Arroyo Trabuco floodplain, following one of Orange County's beautiful linear parks.

Muncie murder suspect Brady Turner is being held without bond in the Delaware County jail. The 25-year-old Muncie man has been charged with murder in the Monday night slaying of Christopher Eugene Burgess Jr. Turner claims his stabbing of Burgess was in self-defense. Turner eluded police by laying low in an abandoned shed near the scene and later caught a ride to Anderson where he was apprehended.

Une allée au Luxembourg ou Une allée du Luxembourg est un poème de Gérard de Nerval écrit en 1832 et paru dans le recueil Odelettes en 1853. Il décrit le passage d'une jeune fille (dans le jardin du Luxembourg, à Paris) et les émotions que cela entraîne chez le poète.

Poème

Forme poétique

Le poème est composé de trois quatrains d'octosyllabes, avec rimes alternées et respect de l'alternance entre rimes masculines et rimes féminines.

Analyse

Thématique

L'amour
La fuite du temps : le poème rappelle la fuite du temps, avec notamment la sentence « ma jeunesse est finie... »
La musicalité : le poème renvoie à une idée de musicalité, avec le champ lexical : « preste », « refrain », « oiseau » et « harmonie ».

Images
La lumière : elle joue un rôle prépondérant dans le poème, avec une opposition entre la luminosité de la jeune fille (sa fleur « brille », c'est un « doux rayon » qui « lui[t] ») qui « éclaircirait » la « nuit profonde » dans laquelle est plongé le poète.
La jeune fille : elle est emblématique (utilisation du déterminant défini), gaie et printanière. Cette idée de renouvellement est mise en valeur par la comparaison « comme un oiseau » et les adjectifs « vive et preste », « nouveau », sans oublier le verbe « elle a passé ». C'est une allégorie de la jeunesse.
Le cadre : il est agréable et bucolique, on peut parler de locus amoenus.

« Ma jeunesse est finie »

Tony Gould, in his biography of Colin MacInnes - Inside Outsider (reissued by Faber Finds) - is in no doubt, 'the volume of essays, England, Half English, contains the best of his writing. The range is impressive too: from expected pieces on popular culture (e.g. 'Pop Songs and Teenagers' and 'Sharp Schmutter'), to an essay on the London drinking clubs ('See You at Mabel's' - 'It's five past three in the afternoon, the London pubs have closed, you're dying for a drink. What happens?), and substantial articles on Nikolaus Pevsner (whom MacInnes described as this 'thoroughly inside outsider') and Ada Leverson (Oscar Wilde's 'The Sphinx' 'whose name,' as MacInnes says 'is so honourably remembered and whose writing remains disproportionately unread' - alas still true).

Philadelphia Auto Accidents Attorney
Every year, more than a thousand people are killed in auto accidents in Pennsylvania, and between 80 and 100 times that many are injured. Car accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States.
Motor vehicles are a necessary part of our modern world, but they are big, heavy machines that travel at significant speeds, operated by humans who can make mistakes. The mistakes can be very costly for the victims. While drivers are legally required to carry insurance to cover the costs of these mistakes, insurance companies are primarily looking out for their bottom line and will attempt to force the lowest settlement they can pull off.
Philadelphia Auto Accident Lawyer
If you've been in an auto accident, don't settle for the lowball figure the insurance company offers you. An aggressive Philadelphia auto accident lawyer from Alva & Shuttleworth, LLC can help you recover an amount that better matches the true amount of your losses after an auto accident.
We are accomplished trial lawyers, so if the insurance company doesn't offer a settlement satisfactory to you, we have no fear of taking them to court. Call us today at (215) 665-1695 to schedule a consultation.
We represent clients throughout the Philadelphia area and Pennsylvania, including in Chester County and Montgomery County. We can also represent clients in New Jersey.

Causes of Auto Accidents in Philadelphia
Dealing with Insurance Companies in Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Accidents
Damages You May Collect
Most auto accidents are the result of what is called, in legal terms, "negligence." Negligence means the liable party — the defendant — failed to act how they were supposed to act, and as a result of that failure, someone else — the plaintiff — was injured, physically, mentally and/or economically.
The plaintiff, who is the person who brings the lawsuit, has the burden of proof to show that his or her claim meets the four elements of negligence by preponderance of evidence. Preponderance of evidences means the plaintiff must show that, more likely than not, the events they say happened, happened.
The four elements are:
Duty: The plaintiff must show that the defendant had a duty to act a certain way, usually as a "reasonable person," or in the case of auto accidents, a "reasonable driver."
Breach: The plaintiff must show that the defendant failed to meet that duty, or breached the duty.
Causation: The plaintiff must show that the breach of the duty was both the actual cause of their accidents and the legal cause, called "proximate cause."
Damages: The plaintiff must show that he or she suffered damages as a result of the breach.
Auto accidents can be caused by any number of factors, but some sort of human error or misjudgment plays a role in most accidents, whether that accident be with another car, a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian.
In many cases, the driver is breaking some kind of law. When a defendant breaks a law, it does not automatically make him or her responsible. But it does mean, if the plaintiff can prove the defendant broke the law and the injury was the type of injury the law was supposed to prevent, the defendant has committed "negligence per se." Negligence per se means that the defendant is presumed to have acted negligently.
For instance, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has laws against drunk driving. One of the primary purposes of these laws is to protect other drivers on the road. If a person drinks and drives, which is a dangerous thing to do, and that person cannot property control his or her vehicle, and causes a DUI accident, then that person has committed negligence per se.
Perhaps the most common laws that are broken by drivers are speeding laws. No coincidentally, speeding is one of, if not the most common cause of auto accidents. The fast drivers go, the less able they are to control their vehicle. Speed is also the most common predictor of how severe an accident will be.
Accidents can also be caused by distracted drivers. Pennsylvania has a law against texting while driving, which some studies have shown is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
In Pennsylvania, drivers are required to carry liability insurance. Liability insurance pays for damages the covered driver is liable for. Insurance companies usually attempt to settle to avoid the cost of litigation. However, insurance companies are looking out for their bottom line, and they're not above bullying or lying to try to get you to accept a settlement much lower than the value of your damages.
They may tell you they've investigated your case and, due to some fault on your part, you won't recover anything if you go to court. In Pennsylvania, the plaintiff cannot be more than 50 percent to blame for an injury in order to recover for it. This is called "comparative negligence."
A Philadelphia personal injury lawyer from Alva & Shuttleworth, LLC can handle the negotiations with the insurance company. You get to make the decision of whether or not to accept a settlement. If the insurance company does not offer a satisfactory settlement, our attorneys can take them to court.
Sometime, a driver is not following the law and drives without insurance. If involved in an accident in which an uninsured driver or underinsured driver was at fault, you may have to seek to collect damages from your own insurance company.
If you are in a motorcycle accident in which you were the motorcyclist, you may suffer much worse injuries than you would if you were in an SUV. However, the plaintiff, if held liable, must pay for the full extent to which he or she is liable. Their damages may not be reduced because you were more vulnerable. This principle is sometimes called the "eggshell plaintiff" rule.
You can collect two types of compensatory damages, or damages meant to compensate you for your losses.
Economic damages compensate you for tangible damages you've suffered, where you can present a bill or a receipt. These damages include hospital bills, physical therapy bills, lost wages, lost ability to work and damages to your vehicle or property.
Noneconomic damages are the less tangible but very real damages you incur, like pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of life's pleasures.
In rare instances, you may also be able to recover punitive damages, meant to punish defendants for evil motives or reckless disregard.

We think we are more superior that is why we do what we want to the animals. We slaughter them to satisfy our craving, we keep them in captivity claiming it is for educational purpose, we use them for entertainment and we hunt them as a hobby! We think they are just an object, not a life.
To think we are more superior and to justify our action, we use the name of God. We tell ourselves these animals are created by God for these purposes. We also tell ourselves that animals don't have emotions and feeling like us. This thinking is extremely selfish. If God is compassionate, he will not create sufferings. The animals don't die happy when they are slaughtered. Their eyes are full of fears and tears, this shows that they have emotions like us too.
This video shows how much love the animals have to humans. Animals are not biased. They will also love humans even though we are not their species. For example dogs, they are loyal to the owner, they will protect the owner. Isn't this an expression of emotion and feeling? We have to stop denying that the animals do not have feelings or emotions. We have to stop using animals for our selfish purposes. A very simple way to start is to become a vegetarian, help to reduce the demand for meat and thus fewer animals will be slaughtered and suffer.
Wow amazing video show how animals showing love for humans. Not only dogs, cat ,elephants , even other animals such as ducks, chickens and so forth. Animals have the capacity to express their love for us human too, and they have feelings as we do. Researchers has proven that some animals likely feel a full range of emotions which include fear, joy, happiness, shame, embarrassment, jealousy, rage, and anger as well. Watching the amazing videos tell us a thousand words. Some of those animals were very affectionate and showing surprising emotions which I never come across some of them. Truly amazing as my own furry doggie did the same.
Love and care for them , nor matter what happened never hurt, harm or abandoned them.
Oh, this short video clip is so touching. Animals is so affectionate and we human should reflect how we treat them. We always treat them like an item which their existence is for our usage and satisfaction. We should change our mindset and care for the animals just like any other living beings. Support vegetarian.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us this wonderful video. It is very wrong to think that animals do not have emotions or feelings. They may not be able to talk but they do have feelings.
Very often we see videos of animals taking care of and protecting their offsprings, it is an expression of love. If they don't have feelings or emotions, they will not care about their offsprings. There are also many stories about how animals have saved human's lives or demonstrated their loyalty to their owners such as the famous Japanese dog Hachiko.
I think humans try to deny animals have emotions or feelings because we want to justify our crave for meat consumption. By denying animals have emotions or feelings, we can slaughter them without guilt and as if it is ok. It is actually not ok to kill another life to satisfy our taste buds. A life is a life regardless if it is a human life or a life of an animal. If it is not ok to kill a human, why is it ok to kill an animal?

Apple Trying to Permanently Resolve iPhone 6 and 7 Battery Defects
By: Wayne Rash | February 24, 2017
NEWS ANALYSIS: Apple has investigated and partially solved some of the latest battery issues on its iPhone 6 and 7, but the latest may be the most serious.
The message on Twitter had the ominous overtones of recent Samsung problems, when Twitter user Bree posted a video of her swollen and blistered iPhone 7 Plus with smoke seeping out around the edges. This wasn't the first time that an iPhone 7 fire had been reported, but this was the first video of the incident to show up on social media. Previously, scattered reports of burning and exploding iPhone 7 devices had been reported, but none seemed to have public evidence.
As you might expect, the viral nature of the Twitter posting caught Apple's attention. The company replaced the iPhone and collected the burned one to investigate. The incident happened on Feb. 22, so at this point, Apple hasn't had time to do a full investigation.
But that wasn't the only incident of an iPhone 7 catching fire. Last fall, an Australian surfing instructor reported that his iPhone had caught on fire and destroyed his car. Last September, a report on Reddit indicated that an iPhone 7 caught fire while being shipped to a customer.
Older iPhones are also having issues, although they're a little less dramatic. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones have had an ongoing problem of the battery power suddenly dropping to zero even when it had been fully charged a few minutes prior to the event. After several months of investigation, Apple released a software fix in the form of iOS 10.2.1, which according to Apple, solved about 80 percent of the problems.
The source of these incidents appears to be related to safety circuitry that was intended to keep iPhone 6 batteries from overheating and burning. The sudden drop in power was related to a routine in iOS that was supposed to sense when there was a problem with the battery and then turn the phone off to protect it. The problem in this case was that the software reacted even in the absence of a battery fault.
Both of the iPhones with battery problems seem to be rooted in the Lithium-Ion batteries that power them. When a battery is damaged, causing internal separators to be breached, the battery can discharge suddenly, causing significant heat and frequently even an explosion. The iPhone battery fire in September appeared to be the result of damage while the phone was being shipped, causing a fire.
The cause of the other two iPhone 7 battery fires hasn't been determined. But in the case of the iPhone belonging to Bree, the phone was simply sitting on a table when it spontaneously caught fire.

Passive testing is a complementary technique to active testing. For some types of systems, for example dynamic or adaptive distributed systems which are able to re-configure themselves at runtime in response to changes in their environments, exhaustive active testing before deployment is either theoretically impossible or practically not feasible. For such types of systems the additional application of the technique of passive testing is recommendable. However, a comprehensive theory and taxonomy of methods and techniques for model-based passive testing does –as far as we know– not yet exist and is from today's perspective still very much a topic for future research in this domain. For this reason the presentation of the topic in this chapter is very much example-based such as to provide the reader with some first intuitions about what model-based passive testing is, what kinds of techniques could be used to implement it, and what could be some typical application scenarios for model-based passive testing in the domains of software systems, hardware systems, as well as embedded software+hardware systems.
Note: Section 5 of our chapter, as well as several Figures and a number of Acknowledgments, which will appear in the above-mentioned book, are OMITTED in this pre-print version.

Yhdysvaltalaiset Hari Nam Singh Khalsa ja Kuldip Singh Khalsa saapuvat ensi vuonna Tampereelle ja Helsinkiin pitämään viikonlopun pituista Warrior Saint -kurssia. Kurssi pohjautuu kundaliinijoogaan ja itämaisiin itsepuolustuslajeihin. Hari Nam Singh on yksi Yogi Bhajanin ensimmäisistä oppilaista. Kuldip Singh on Taiyo itsepuolustuslajin sensei ja kundaliinijoogan opettaja. Kurssit oli tarkoitus järjestää jo lokakuussa 2014, mutta aikataulu on siis siirtynyt ensi vuoteen.
The workshop is based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and the Tenth Sikh Master Guru Gobind Singh. Both Masters taught about the importance of understanding the balance between the Saint and the Warrior. The workshop is designed to provide a unique opportunity for an individual to connect to their strengths, and solidify this into their character. At the same time this also brings out the blocks and fears that so often hold us back from experiencing life in its fullest capacity. When we practice the technology of Kundalini Yoga it allows us to access our true potential and use it in everyday life. When we incorporate the way of the Martial Arts it opens us up to feeling and connecting to our center where we can feel the magic of our lives.
One of the teachers Hari Nam Khalsa studied personally with Yogi Bhajan for nearly three decades and is one of the most respected teachers in 3HO.
Hari Nam has taught and consulted thousands of people around the world in all aspects of human behavior and spiritual development. He is well known for his passion, humor, clarity, storytelling and strong commitment to the ideals of spiritual path. Another teacher Kuldip Khalsa, NMT, has been studying Martial Arts since the age of eight. As an adult he has travelled the world sharing what his Master Hong Hou has taught and shared with him. Kuldip's philosophy is to teach people Kundalini Yoga so they may elevate themselves, Martial Arts so they may defend themselves, and Healing so they may fix themselves.
