Forever War, The by Haldeman, Joe, 1974
Though I am mostly known for loving the more cerebral and socially-oriented SF, there is a soft spot in my heart for really, really good action-oriented and military SF. The list of books that I consider good enough for my "Best Of" reviews that come from this sub-genre is actually pretty small. Ender's Game. Hammer's Slammers. One of those Honor Harrington novels. There's a few others, but the book that may be at the top of this particular list, for me anyway, is undoubtedly The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman. If you have never read any military SF before, you should give it a try. There are legions of books out there that really are just battle pieces, but military SF in the hands of a skilled author can be so much more than just that. The good stuff does center itself around battles, weapons and tactics and such; warfare, in other words. But it also should also give a good slice of military life, and work in politics and the reactions of the civilians either to policy, or conflict itself. Military SF authors, of course, also spend considerable time with the conflict. In this book its man versus alien, but the aliens are so....well....alien, that the conflict is somewhat like man versus nature or animals. Haldeman himself is a Vietnam veteran who drew heavily upon his experiences to inform this book. It is however much more than a rehash of that war. Its also an well-informed send up of military life, a tale of interspecies miscommunication, and a pretty original description of future human society that is held back by an unwinnable war.
The Forever War is the story of William Mandella, a highly educated infantryman in a war with a race of beings called "Taurans." The war started in 1997 after a couple of miscommunications with the Taurans by humans after accidental meetings in space. When the action of the story starts a naval war is roaring, and Mandella and his fellow conscripts are being trained for the first infantry campaign against the Taurans. Actually, that is a bit of misdirection. Mandella and his unit will be used for infantry attacks occasionally, but mostly they will be used for garrison purposes. They are to guard so called "portal planets," which are satellites of ultra dense "collapsars," which themselves are gateways to wormholes. The collapsars allow instantaneous transportation basically anywhere there is another collapsar to eject from, but the collapsar itself has to be impacted at near light speed, so travel still takes long amounts of time. As a result Mandella, after fighting in four campaigns, is effectively the oldest soldier in the army, at just over 2000 years objective.
Haldeman does not spare the military much in this book. I think that he also did a pretty interesting job weaving in apocryphal stories about the military�s perceived lack of humanity. For example, Mandella and his unit are given a post-hypnotic suggestion to ramp up their anger in the first confrontation with the Taurans that results in the horrible and brutal slaughter of the enemy. He also dealt with the more seminal aspects of military life, such as an inter-service conflict between the army and the navy (much like the same in Heinlein�s Starship Troopers), the pointlessness of expressing individual opinion or suggestion in a combat situation where officers have already made up their minds, and constant rule changing to keep experienced soldiers on the front line. Also in the end the whole war was one big colossal mistake to begin with. However, even though it was obvious to me that Haldeman was frustrated with his own military service, this is really nothing more than gentle ribbing and moreover, acceptance of the way things are when a war is going on. In fact Haldeman also changed some key characteristics of the military, presumable to make a service that worked better. He allowed women in the service for combat duty, and also conditioned recruitment of women to the more �open minded� ones who were OK with multiple lovers, and who willingly complied with the service's direction to keep order up and hormones low. Liberal use of drugs was also allowed, and because of bank savings and relativity, the soldiers were always able to do what ever they wanted when on leave.
One of the most interesting aspects of this book however is the picture of future Earth society. If you have not read the complete version of this book, with the previously excised middle novella reinstated, it may be time to pick it up again. The picture is pretty grim, but very well done. The war has severely limited Earth's ability to send out successful colonies, and the few that are established are mostly military reservations. As a result Earth becomes very overcrowded, and all the things that you think would come after generations of that are realized. Things such as chronic violent crime, euthanasia as a way out of social and financial problems rather than health issues, limited energy resources, ultra-high unemployment, centralized and ineffective political and resource control and severely limited medical insurance availability have completely transformed the entire globe, and affect cities such as New York, NY and Pierre, SD equally. Mandella only comes into contact with Earth a few times between missions, and because of relativity hundreds or thousands of years pass between visits. In the end Earth feels the need to drastically change genetics and reproduction, and ultimately gets a hold on the problems first by going to test tube babies that are almost entirely homosexual and thus not inclined to reproduce, then to nothing but identical clones. The clones were part of an appeasement of the Taurans when peace is eventually agreed to, but once the transformation is made a group mind really takes over, leaving a post-human citizenry that has no intention of changing back.
Haldeman has written two loosely related sequels to this book, but in my opinion neither of them are anywhere near as good. He has also over his long and distinguished career put out many good solid military SF pieces, but with the exception of a novella called For White Hill from 1996, nothing reaches the heights of entertainment that The Forever War does. Five out of five stars.


Actually slept for a while but then she was awake. They have given her some morphine for pain and that makes her drowsy. Her speech is kinda funny and slurred but she keeps talking. She has also been practicing her princess wave.
That neurosurgeon must be good because it seems he definitely only took out stuff that didn't belong in her brain in the first place...and nothing else. It's all still there and her personality is still very much in place. She asked for ....no...demanded chocolate milk tonight and was very upset when she could only have water and juice. Same old stubborn Charlotte.
She is surrounded by all the stuffed animals that have been sent in. They are all dear and she talks about them and pets them. They are good "bolsters" to prop her up in bed. Rompy has been close by all the time and went into surgery with her. The nurses have bandaged Rompy's head to look like hers and we told her that Rompy is trying to feel better too. She said, "I want Rompy's head to be better so he can take his bandage off."
She has been running a low fever (99-100) which is very normal after surgeries. About 2 AM they needed to give her some blood (about 17 ml) because her hemoglobin was low). Again, to be expected in a surgery like this. She was eating and drinking earlier and seemed to be voiding well but her catheter bag is getting a bit TOO full and they have sent some of her urine off to the lab. The pituitary gland can get a bit overactive and she will excrete too much fluid. They still have her on IV fluids and are monitoring her very closely.
Please keep her nurses in your prayers. Tonight she has Amy and Liza working with her. Amy is now the lead nurse on her team (she got "dibs" on her and Nurse Melissa was very upset!) :-) Nurse Keisha has also been helping. They are all very knowledgable, empathic, and caring professionals who treat Charlotte (and her parents) so well. I can't remember the pediatric resident's name but she has been checking in frequently as well and monitoring her progress.
I will try to rest and so will sign off now.

as if the body was constructed of a flame projecting itself through haze. I did not think twice. I pushed the figure up launching it toward my closet. My closet then slammed shut.

What a year it's been at Dance Consortium! Not only have we toured Nederlands Dans Theater 2, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba AND Batsheva Ensemble, we've also launched this sparkly new website; it's been chokka block.
It seems to be à la mode to do a round-up of things at the end of the year, and so, herewith, is a bit of a lowdown of the life and times of Dance Consortium, in 2012.
Nederlands Dans Theater graced us with their incredible presence and faultless technique for the month of March. This was their 11th visit to the UK. They brought with them some classic rep from Jirí Kylián, Hans van Manen, Ohad Naharin, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León (….phew!) and of course the wonderful Alexander Ekman.
It was all eyes on his piece 'Cacti' which literally stole the show everywhere it went.
Hot on the heels of NDT2 were those flamboyant Cubans, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba. Who proved themselves on their 2nd visit, to be so much more than simply 'a ray of tropical sunshine' (although they certainly did heat up the rainy-grey UK during May-June).Donning their boxing gloves they premiered a new piece by Itzik Galili entitled 'Sombrisa', the men ruled the stage for a most unique male 'Carmen' by Kenneth Kvarnström and we all felt like dancing in the aisles watching the triumphant return of the feverish Mambo 3XX1 choreographed by company dancer George Céspedes.
Summer 2012 meant all hands on deck, getting our new website live. We spent time consolidating all our features into a new section and archived all the tours we have ever brought you; from Paul Taylor to Deborah Colker to Australian Dance Theatre to Company Kafig, all 30 tours are in there from the 20 different international companies.
We also updated our About Us page, so if you have heard of us, but are not quite sure what we actually do, then you can read all about it here.
All wrapped up in a slick new wordpress look with a healthy dollop of purple across our header, we were looking fresh and ready for one last tour…..
They have undoubtedly left a legacy of debate behind them regarding the role of politics in art, but, what we are keeping as Batsheva Ensemble 2012 souvenirs are: the dancers' beautiful and groovy way of moving (bred from their Gaga training), totally unpretentious performances (did anybody's mum get up on stage for the Cha Cha Cha?) the potent music throughout which soaked all our senses in something new, and of course their so very open approach to everything.
Here are dancer Shane Scoptaz beautiful diary entries from the tour if you missed them first time around.
Of course our 2 current tours are on the site too now! So have a look at The Trocks and Sutra who will be with us in 2013. It will be a fourth visit for the Trocks and a first for Sutra (with the Dance Consortium.) These 2 companies perfectly exemplify the diversity of work we aim to bring you: A troupe of male ballerinas and 20 Shaolin Monks. Go on….. have a look. We look forward to seeing you at a show in 2013.
Have a wonderful Christmas, here is a special digital message from us.

Elon Musk predicts World War III
by Seth Fiegerman @sfiegerman September 5, 2017: 10:38 AM ET
Elon Musk: We should regulate AI to keep public safe
Elon Musk spent part of his Labor Day weekend tweeting about World War III.
Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX's CEO wasn't making doomsday predictions because North Korea is testing nuclear weapons. What's got Musk much more worried about world war is artificial intelligence.
North Korea "should be low on our list of concerns for civilizational existential risk," Musk said in one of a series of posts on Twitter (TWTR) early Monday.
"Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo," Musk said in another tweet, using the Internet short-hand for "in my opinion."
Related: 10 cities living in the future
The dire prediction was in response to a recent comment from Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Artificial intelligence is the future not only of Russia but of all of mankind," Putin said. "Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."
At the moment, the United States, China and India are the three countries leading the AI race, according to one top tech industry executive.
But Musk believes others will try to catch up by any means possible. "Govts don't need to follow normal laws," he said in one tweet. "They will obtain AI developed by companies at gunpoint, if necessary."
Related: Elon Musk backs call for global ban on killer robots
In another reply on Twitter, Musk speculated that an AI system could choose to start a war "if it decides that a prepemptive [sic] strike is most probable path to victory."
Musk has repeatedly issued warnings about the perils of AI, calling for new regulation to keep the public safe.
Related: Elon Musk's new plan to save humanity from AI
In the process, Musk has clashed with at least one fellow tech billionaire: Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg called Musk's AI doomsday rhetoric "pretty irresponsible." Musk responded by calling Zuckerberg's understanding of the issue "limited."
Musk has tried to address his AI anxieties through two new ventures: OpenAI, a non-profit AI research company, and Neuralink, a startup building devices to connect the human brain with computers.
"I was trying to really sound the alarm on the AI front for quite a while, but it was clearly having no impact," he said in one interview around the launch of Neuralink. "So I was like, 'Oh fine, okay, then we'll have to try to help develop it in a way that's good.' "

Visit and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Cardigan, Ceredigion. Aberteifi (Mouth of the Teifi) is the proper name for this place, which carries in English the name of that Ceredig who held the district of Ceredigion by the sea as one of the "sons" of the 5th century. Cunedda, honoured as the founder of what is called Wales today. It is the county town, and yet is too small to bear the burdens of office. The Assizes are at Lampeter, and the Council enjoys its prominence at Aberystwvth.
Cardigan is a bright and pleasing town. somewhat withdrawn from the world: and even in 1811 Daniel Paterson's Direct and Principal Cross Roads could not find a separate position for it, but entered it under "Cross Road Centres". The bridge over the Teifi is its most remarkable architectural feature, its life is vigorous, but belongs to its own immediate district of rich farms and forests; the river that once made it an important seaport has withdrawn and left Cardigan to nurse proud memories. The valiant stand against the Danes, and the common cause that Ceredigion made with Wessex against them in the days of Rhodri the Great and after him, were renewed when in 1136 the drive of Norman power into Wales was met by the two Gruffydds, the son of Cynan and the son of Rhys, and defeated outside the town. its castle had been built by Roger of Montgomery, who held it as a fief for William the Red, Norman King of England; but shortly afterwards it became the home of Cadwgan son of Bleddyn, a Welsh prince of Powys who did more than any other in repulsing the Norman attempt to overrun Wales. Anglesey, Gwynedd, Ceredigion, and most of Brycheiniog were recovered by him, and he successfully carried the war into the lost lands of eastern Powys - Cheshire, Shropshire, and Herefordshire. But for the damaging charms of Nest - bride of Gerald of Windsor, Constable of Pembroke - that led Cadwgans son Owain to abduct her and so plunged all Wales into bloody feud, he might well have given Wales real strength and unity. Perhaps it was at the Cenarth, some little way up the river from Cardigan, that Nest had her house, though more probably it was the Cenarth in Pembrokeshire. But it was at Llechryd that Cadwgan found his fatal check, when he engaged the forces of Rhys ap Tewdwr, Prince of the South, and his Irish soldiers in a battle that choked the river with blood.
Until the days of Edward I, Cardigan successfully maintained its Welshness. Gerald de Barn, himself a grandson of Nest, in about 1188 wrote of the Teifi � of the salmon, whose name he learnedly derived from the Latin salire, to leap; the beavers, which were then numerous in the river; and Cilgerran Castle, set upon a rock with a great cataract up which the salmon leapt and near which the beavers formed their dams. The Castle was Welsh, apparently built by the Lord Rhys whom Gerald knew; little of it is left but two drum-towers by the bridge. No medieval war destroyed it, but Parliament in 1645 "slighted" it for supporting Charles I. The remains of walls stand by the seven-arched bridge, where tall warehouses speak of Cardigan's former importance as a shipping centre. But the Teili, one of the loveliest rivers in Wales has like the fatal Nest betrayed the town. The silting of the river mouth has left Gwhert-on-Sea, by the entry, as not very much more than a pleasant bathing-place with beautiful beaches. Like Aberporth, its not too distant neighbour, Cardigan has lost the outgoing importance of the days when it commanded the trade of the Irish Sea; but it remains a solid centre for the life of Wales at its most natively Welsh. Llangrannog, with its wooded and hidden hills, and Llanarth, with its ancient church and recollections of the march of Henry VII to victory, are readily reached from it.

Ronnie Dawson died at 64, 10:03 PM CDT on Tuesday, September 30, 2003. Ronnie made the move at 4.35 yesterday afternoon. He's in no more pain, no more struggle. I can't say what an influence the man was on my life. The folks here that knew him, talked to him, heard his records and saw his unbelievable live show know what I mean when I say, he was simply the best there ever was. I was very lucky to call him a close friend. More like family. Yesterday I talked to Ronnie. He couldn't respond verbally, the cancer had him all balled up. He did smile, nod his head and give us the set out lower jaw look that always meant, lets go, this is great! I told him how much I loved him, which brought the nod. I told him that Kevin and Lisa were there too and they walked in the room. That brought the Smile and then the let's go look.
We all talked to him, thanked him and told him he didn't have to wait around any more. All that was left was his heart and man he always had the strongest heart. We knew it was time to say goodbye, not goodbye, just see ya down the line horsy. I leaned over and said to Ronnie, I hope you know how much you've touched everybody, everybody who met you, saw you perform, they all love you. Ronnie nodded again. I kissed his forehead and he nodded once more, knowing it was time to say goodbye. I will miss my friend but he will always live on. Ronnie's brother was by his side, his wife Chris, who he shared his love with unconditionally. Then at 4.30 the gates of heaven opened up and Ronnie Dawson came strolling through. He walked over to heavens bandstand and picked up his guitar. Locked eyes with the band, threw out his lower jaw and said: "Give me the down beat maestro!"
The man turns 60 in August, and still he continues to make records that have the dual ability to startle and delight — rather astonishing, given that most albums these days can manage neither feat. This week, the tiny Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based Yep Roc label releases More Bad Habits, yet another album in a catalog that features not a single misstep, not a single album or song that doesn't serve to remind you what music sounds like in the hands of a man who was there when the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped its mama, and called the baby rock and roll.
If there's a difference this time around, it's that Dawson is no longer recording in England on equipment built during the days of the Korean War. For the first time since the 1960s, Dawson cut his album in the States — in Maine, actually — with a real band (including a teenage guitarist from Cleveland) instead of pick-up musicians or whoever was available for the sessions at the time. More Bad Habits is also in stereo, another first. Long gone is that unhewn, primitive sound that has served him so well throughout such "comeback" albums as Still a Lot of Rhythm (released in England in 1988), Rockinitis (1989), Monkey Beat (1994), even 1996's Just Rockin' & Rollin', Dawson's sole record for Rounder Records subsidiary Upstart. The result is a disc that finally surrounds you, absorbs you — places you on the stage, not simply in front of it.
"I can still listen to the album," Dawson says in that deep, melodic twang of his. "I still like to hear it. I haven't gotten tired of it at all. I love the way it just comes on. This is the first time I did the songs on tour before we went in the studio. And when you do that, you're not searchin' for the grooves. They're just right on."
It is perhaps appropriate that in 1999, more than 40 years since he first stepped onto a stage or into a studio, Dawson has made the finest record of his career. He's a man who seems to age backward, who continues to search for new inspiration in the most unlikely places. He exists almost to disprove the long-held belief that rockabilly is the most narrow of genres, one that died almost moments after it was born because it had no place to go.
More Bad Habits sounds at times as though it were recorded in New Orleans by a bluesman who just learned how to play country in a punk-rock club. Songs such as "Toe Up From the Flo Up," "Chili Pepper Mama," "Bayou Beauty," and the burn-it-all-down closer "Party Slab" are scattered in the best sense of the word, the sound of a man on a quest to pack everything he's ever heard into two minutes and 58 seconds and go off in search of more everything.
He likes to point to two songs off of Just Rockin' & Rollin' — "Mexigo" and "Veronica," both Tex-Mex-tinged throwdowns, rock and roll made at the last bar on the border — as proof of his willingness to try anything once, or twice. He mentions how he was inspired to do both after sharing the Carnegie Hall stage with conjunto accordionist Mingo Saldivar in 1994, when both men were brought to New York City as part of a roots-revivalist showcase. Wearing a big grin, Dawson says they're "conjuntobilly" songs.
Above Ronnie and Christy's fireplace hangs an enormous yellow-and-black poster advertising a show featuring Dawson and the late Carl Perkins. Dawson says he keeps it there to remind himself of his place in rock-and-roll history: "Below Carl Perkins," he says, not at all joking. Yet Dawson — who spent much of the 1970s and '80s making what he calls "country-rock," meaning songs that sounded as though they were written by Jimmy Webb and performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young — is a study in evolution. Where Perkins and Gene Vincent and their lot backed themselves into a corner in 1956, Dawson moves forever forward. And to think that when he was a child growing up in Oak Cliff, he never even wanted to perform in public. It wasn't until a friend forced him to, during a Future Farmers of America talent show, that Dawson discovered what he'd end up doing for the rest of his life.
"I was a sophomore, and I'd just play at home," Dawson says, recounting a story he seldom tells. "I was bashful. My buddies knew I could play, and they went by my house and got my guitar and took it to school. The teacher said, 'We got a guy here and somebody said he could play gee-tar. I don't really think he can.' I looked up there, and it was my guitar. I was on the spot, and I had to play, and when I did, I went crazy. I never said anything to anyone. I went to school and walked next to the walls and did my work. That was when it started."
It's somehow appropriate, then, that the very same week More Bad Habits hits stores, Dawson's 1958 semi-hit single "Action Packed" also appears — this time, on a four-disc boxed set from Rhino Records titled Hot Rods & Custom Classics: Cruisin' Songs & Highway Hits. Indeed, "Action Packed" — credited to Ronnie Dee — is the first song on the box's first disc, coming before songs by the likes of Gene Vincent, the Beach Boys, Junior Brown, and Hank Williams. Then, on May 19, "Action Packed" and "Rockin' Bones," also recorded in 1958, will appear on yet another Rhino box, Loud, Fast & Out of Control: The Wild Sounds of '50s Rock.
It is not a little ironic that of the men with whom he shares space on that box — among them Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry — only Dawson continues to record, continues to be relevant. Only he keeps jumping on tables, strutting through audiences, going into studios and making records better than the last. Berry, Lewis, and so many others were long ago sealed in plastic and put in storage. Not little Ronnie Dee.
And to think, Dawson couldn't even stand "Action Packed" when he first heard it. He didn't even want to cut it, preferring instead to do "Green-Eyed Cat," "Rockin' Bones," anything but the song first recorded by Johnny Dollar. He just didn't like it, couldn't play it, couldn't sing it — not a thing went right during the sessions.
"I don't think I've ever told anybody this, but when I actually did the song, I was mad," he says now, laughing. "I was pissed-off. That's probably why it's got that edge on it. I can listen to it right now, and I sound really weird on it on a couple of places. Funny, ain't it?"


Litherland REMYCA ended the season in runners-up spot in Division One.
Litherland REMYCA will be playing Premier Division football for the first time next season, after clinching promotion without kicking a ball on Thursday night.
Litherland REMYCA have announced that they have been awarded Community Chartered Standard status by the FA.
Litherland REMYCA FC began life in the Seaforth area of Liverpool as St Thomas F.C. (1959).
Players were recruited mainly from Seaforth and Bootle, and the team later became known as Bootle C.L.B. (Church Lads Brigade).
Links were formed with Bootle YMCA which provided a club base and facilities to train.
In 1967, a local working-man's club offered to finance the running of the club.
One year later, REMYCA UTD F.C. came into being, the name deriving from connections with both REM Social Club and Bootle YMCA.
The team, after successive championships and earning a reputation for playing attractive football, were accepted into the I Zingari League.
The founder members of REMYCA Utd, Bill and Ken Edwards, acted as managers having recently given up their playing careers.
The I Zingari Challenge Cup was claimed in the 1975/76 season as REMYCA Utd began to establish itself as a force within amateur football on Merseyside.
The formation of a Premier League led to the club being invited to become inaugural members.
This demanded improved playing facilities and the club left its spiritual home at Moss Lane, Litherland to move to Maghull High School.
A former player, Steve Smith, became manager and began building a squad capable of competing with the best amateur sides in the region.
REMYCA Utd became the I Zingari League Champions in the 1987/88 season and in 1991 became one of the few Merseyside Teams to win the all Lancashire FA Amateur Cup.
The 1990's was a significant period in the club's history, and the most successful, as both Premier League and Cup doubles were achieved in seasons 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 followed by again winning the Challenge Cup in the 1998/99 season.
This period of dominance and success resulted in REMYCA Utd seeking entry to the Liverpool County Combination League to test itself at a higher level again.
REMYCA are now based at Litherland Sports Park. Our mid-long term aims are to work with local councils to identify a site and build a community facility for all sides under the REMYCA banner as well as the local area.
In 2013, the Management Committee of REMYCA began exploring the potential to grow and develop the club. The aim is for a sustainable club - a community based model offering football opportunity with good coaching to all ages from seven years upwards.
The first stage of the new development plan was to add Litherland to the club name so as to identify with the local area and enhance the community ethos of the club.
A key appointment was Colin Begbie as head of youth development, who's experience and network of football contacts has proven invaluable.
The club then applied, and secured a league position worthy of promotion to the NWCFL in 2014.
In their first season, the club finished 9th and reached the semi final of the Reusch Cup, only to be beaten by Atherton Colls.
A first ever appearance in the LCFA Senior Cup saw the club beaten by Skelmersdale United. REMYCA went on to reach the semi final in three consecutive years after this defeat.
In 2015, Phil Stafford was given the job as first team manager following a successful stint at Maghull.
In his second season, he led the club to a thrilling battle for promotion, which culminated in defeat at the final hurdle - the playoff final.
That game holds the attendance record in NWCFL history, with 1303 supporters flocking to LSP.
In March 2016, the quarter final of the LCFA Senior Cup saw Everton travel to LSP and fall to a solid, containing REMYCA by a goal to nil.
This game put the club on the map, and boosted their profile and reputation.
Ultimately, at the end of that season, Stafford decided it was time to move on along with Andy Olsen, and, after a search for a new gaffer, Paul McNally was handed the task of leading REMYCA from the beginning of the 2017/18 season.
McNally put his own stamp on the team, and under huge expectations, guided the club to its first ever promotion and the highest level of football in the history of Litherland REMYCA.
Along the way, REMYCA made their first ever appearance in the FA Cup, beating AFC Liverpool 2-0 in a game live streamed across the BBC iPlayer.
In a shock turn of events, McNally left the club by mutual consent at the end of 2017-18, and left the club manager-less for the second straight summer.
James Olsen was chosen to be the man to take over in the summer of 2018 and lead the club in its first ever season in the NWCFL Premier Division.
Directions: End of M57/M58 ALONG Dunningsbridge Road towards Docks, Turn Right at Junction of Bootle Golf Course on the Right hand side into Boundary Road, 2nd turning on the left into sports park.
Zingari Premier League Winners 1987-88, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96.
Zingari Div 2 winners 2005-06.

In 2011, with a team of interns at a Department of Defense contractor, I created a Wi-Fi geolocation app to locate hotspots. It could find the location in 3D space of every hotspot near you in seconds. We made formulas to model signal strength and probable distances. We used machine learning to optimize completion time and accuracy.
I was so caught up in the details that it took me months to see it would be used to kill people. What do we do when we discover that we're building something immoral or unethical? How can we think through the uses of our software to avoid this problem entirely?


The first Satrapy. It is located in the south of the kingdom. The capital of Fars is Parsa, which is also the capital of the kingdom.
The second Satrapy. This central Satrapy contains large cities, open plains and harsh deserts. The capital of Mada is Ektabana.
The third Satrapy. It is the westernmost territory of the Farsian Kingdom, with many Hellenic-speaking subjects. The capital of Lydia is Gordion.
The fourth Satrapy. This land has a rich history from before the Farsian state annexed it. Legends say that the art of Casting was first discovered at the Satrapy's capital: Babilim.
The fifth Satrapy. Mudraya was once its own kingdom, ruled by a pharaoh, but fell in the military conquest of Farsia. The capital of Mudraya is Memphis.
The sixth Satrapy. This easternmost territory includes client kingdoms, which are loyal to Farsia while maintaining some independence. These small states form a buffer between Farsia and Hindusia. The capital of Harauvatis is Arakhotoi.
The seventh Satrapy. Baxtris lies north of Harauvatis and east of Mada. The terrain is exceedingly mountainous. Baxtris forms a border with Skythia and often faces the brunt of raiding from the north. Zariaspa is the capital of the Satrapy.


Ahead of their Leeds to London two-date-tour this week, we asked Night Owls the burning questions.
This grungey Leeds duo are releasing their Informaldehyde EP on Friday via our friends in Till Deaf Do Us Party. The launch party is on Thursday (09/06/16) in Leeds, before the band scramble down to London to play Birthdays on Friday. In fact, we're so excited about the release of this EP that we're recklessly letting Night Owls takeover our Instagram for their gig adventures. To tide you over until Thursday, here's what the band had to say for themselves.
The scene is really strong at the moment! There's so many different genres going on but they all seem to weave in and out of each other which means there's always an eclectic line up, which is great! We usually hang around The Brudenell as there's always something to do, literally any night of the week there'll be a killer band on. As for record stores both Crash and Jumbo records house pretty much every record you'd want.
The Pixies - 'Debaser'. It's a classic!
We played alongside The Orielles the other night, they absolutely killed it.
I'd have to say Chest Pains, they're doing something that no one else seems to be at the moment.
We're just gearing up for the shows over summer and writing bits and bats for the next release.
Hopefully more of the same, we like to be pretty grounded and remain accessible with releases so we tend to go about it the same!

2841. The Angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven. That this signifies still greater consolation of the Lord, is evident from the signification of "calling out of heaven," as being to console; and from the signification of the "angel of Jehovah," as being the Lord's Divine Itself (see above, n. 2821, where the same words occur). This is said a "sec...
3322. Therefore he called his name Edom. That this signifies his quality therefrom as to good, to which were adjoined the doctrinal things of truth, is evident from the signification of "calling a name," or of "calling by name," as being the quality (see n. 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006); and from the representation of Edom. There is frequent mention in the Word of Esa...
3353. CHAPTER 26 Most men believe that when the Last Judgment comes, all things in the visible world will be destroyed; that the earth will be consumed by fire; the sun and the moon dissipated; that the stars will vanish away; and that a new heaven and a new earth will afterwards arise. They have conceived this opinion from the prophetic revelations in which such things are mentioned. But th...
3356. The reason a "quaking" or "motion" denotes a change of state, is that it takes place in space and in time; and in the other life there is no idea of space and of time; but in their stead there is state. It is indeed true that in the other life all things appear as in space, and follow one another as if in time; but in themselves the space and time are changes of state, fo...
3381. Because that Abraham hearkened to My voice. That this signifies the union of the Lord's Divine Essence with the Human Essence through temptations, is evident from the representation of Abraham, as being the Lord as to the Divine Human also (see n. 2833, 2836, 3251) and from the signification of "hearkening to My voice," when predicated of the Lord, as being to unite the Divine Esse...
3614. Until thy brother's wrath turn away. That this signifies until the state turns thereto; and that "until thy brother's anger turn away from thee" signifies what is successive of the state with natural good, is evident from the signification of "wrath" and "anger," as being states which are repugnant, as will be shown in what follows. When these states become such...
3708. All thou shalt break forth to the sea, and to the east. That this signifies the infinite extension of good; and that to the north and to the south, signifies the infinite extension of truth, thus all states of good and truth, is evident from the signification of "breaking forth," as being extension; in the present case infinite extension, because it is predicated of the Lord: from...
3752. No one can possibly comprehend the signification of these words unless he is enlightened by the internal sense.

3901. The reason why the last state of the church is compared to "eagles" gathered together to a "carcass," or to a "body," is that by "eagles" are signified man's rational things, which when predicated of the good, are true rational things; but when predicated of the evil, are false rational things or reasonings.

The words which follow there in order remain to be explained, in this place the contents of verses 29...
4059. From the particulars contained in these verses it is very manifest that they have an internal sense, and that unless this sense is understood, it is impossible to know what they involve-as that the sun shall be darkened, that the moon shall not give her light, that the stars shall fall from heaven, and that the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; and then that the Lord shall appear in the...
4236. And Jacob said when he saw them, This is the camp of God. That this signifies heaven, is because the "camp of God" signifies heaven, for the reason that an "army" signifies truths and goods (n. 3448), and truths and goods are marshaled by the Lord in heavenly order; hence an "encamping" denotes a marshalling by armies; and the heavenly order itself which is heav...
4493. And they circumcised every male, all that went out of the gate of his city. That this signifies accession to external things, is evident from the signification of "circumcising every male," as being to be initiated thereby into the representatives and significatives of the descendants of Jacob in respect to the external alone (see n. 4486); and from the signification of "going...
4664. But what is involved in the internal sense in these things which the Lord here says concerning the Last Judgment, that is, concerning the last judgment of everyone after death, is too much to be unfolded before this chapter, and therefore will of the Lord's Divine mercy be unfolded in order before the chapters which follow. GENESIS 37 1. And Jacob dwe...
4687. And lo my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. That this signifies what is doctrinal concerning the Lord's Divine Human is evident from the signification of a "sheaf" as being doctrine (see just above); and from the signification of "arising and standing upright," as being the supreme that should reign, and that they would adore. That this is the Lord's Divine Human is ev...
4738. That he might rescue him out of their hand, to bring him back to his father. That this signifies that it might claim it for the church, is evident from the signification of "rescuing out of their hand," as being to set free-as above (n. 4732) and from the signification of "bringing back to his father" as being to claim for the church; for by Jacob, who is here the "f...
5128. When thou wast his butler. That this signifies as is usual with sensuous things of this kind, is evident from the signification of a "butler," as being sensuous things, or that portion of them which is subject to the intellectual part (see n. 5077, 5082); its being "as is usual" with them is signified by "when thou wast." That sensuous things ought to be subject...

That this signifies states of the multiplication of falsity that infests the interior natural, is evident from the signification of "kine," as being in the genuine sense truths in the interior natural (see n. 5198, 5265), but in the opposite sense falsity therein (n. 5202), and therefore the former are called...


To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Federation and Australia acquiring the status of a nation, the Victorian Government in cooperation with the Commonwealth Government commissioned a Jubilee Train. This train visited most towns on the Victorian Railway system during the first half of 1951.
The South Australian Jubilee Train at South Hummocks, August 1951.
The SA Premier, Sir Thomas Playford, saw the benefit of this train, and arranged for it to be made available to South Australia.
Set up and operation of the Jubilee Train was managed by a Jubilee Committee. This committee appointed Mr R. DeLance Holmes as administrative officer of the train. He was responsible for all liaison between railway staff, state, and commonwealth personnel.
The aim of the Jubilee Train was to promote to people living in South Australia's urban, rural and regional communities, the role of the 16 South Australian and 6 Commonwealth Government agencies participating. It comprised 10 carriages containing various exhibits, models, pamphlets and promotional materials.
Each Department was represented by at least one officer (see list of exhibitors). The officers were on duty each day (except Sunday's) to answer questions from members of the visiting public and give a description of the working models on display.
In the main, the exhibits illustrated the great progress that had been made in the 50 years of Federation. Emphasis by SA agencies was placed on agriculture, mining, forestry, and especially the large growth in manufacturing and new industries that were being intensified since WW2. The main Commonwealth focus was on defence, immigration and postal services.
For country tours, the main 10 carriage "display" train was accompanied by a second train to provide accommodation and support facilities for staff manning the Jubilee Train. The support train comprised 3 "Carey" sleeping cars and 4 vans, one of which contained cooking and ablution facilities. Both trains were equipped with generating sets for the supply of power for lighting and to operate displays. The Jubilee Train was hauled by a Class 430 steam locomotive.
In addition to the SA Railways staff who drove, maintained and operated the trains, there were approximately 40 personnel associated with manning of the displays.
The Jubilee Train's tour commenced on 30th July 1951, and finished on 8th October 1951. It visited 66 country towns connected to South Australia's broad gauge railway system.
Planning of the itinerary involved a tremendous amount of work by specialised officers of SA Railways so that movement of the trains could occur between regular rail services.
Return to Islington Railway Workshops for recess and overhaul of trains and displays.
No 2 Tour to southern districts and Murraylands.
The majority of Government departments selected and deployed staff for week or fortnight periods.
Mr Trevor Roberts was the Department of Lands representative for the full term of the Jubilee Train tour. He had a good understanding of dry land farming practices, but his knowledge of crops and irrigation techniques in the upper and lower Murray were limited. To overcome this, management sent Mr Roberts on a study tour of pumping stations and irrigation activities at Loxton North and Cooltong under the guidance of Cedric Steed and J.W. Gilchrist (senior officers based at Berri District Office). Mr Rowland Hill of the Land Development Executive also arranged for Mr Roberts to visit the Fairview Estate and Eight Mile creek projects. These visits provided a better appreciation of Lands Department field work being undertaken in the Murray irrigation areas and the South East.
Full time officers on the Jubilee Train were allocated a personal sleeping cabin fitted with bunks, desk and wash basin. These were quite comfortable. Each week the train porter issued each member 2 clean sheets and pillow cases, a large and small towel, and soap as required.
Dining was often at local hotels, although in some locations meals were provided by the local branch of the Country Women's Association (these were considered feasts) or local council. With such a large group, staff normally marched in an orderly fashion to the local hotel. Often two sittings were required to accommodate the number of officers.
Models dealing with drainage and reclamation of land in the South East (Eight Mile Creek), and the development of irrigation schemes along the River Murray.
Special attention was also drawn to the exhibit of maps and photographs that described the work of the Land Development Executive. The Executive were responsible for acquisition, clearing and subsequent allotment of land to WW2 Soldier Settlers. Much of this land was in safe rainfall areas of the South East, Eyre Peninsula, and 300,000 acres (120,000 ha) of Crown lands on Kangaroo Island.
Maps prepared by the government photo lithographers showing the position of the Dog Fence extensions. These ran 2,200 km from the coast at Fowlers Bay to the NSW border. The dog proof fence was maintained by the Dog Fence Board and the Vermin Branch of Lands Department.
Information about the introduction of modern mapping techniques using aerial surveys and photogrammetric maps. These enhanced survey techniques were very important for land settlement.
Part of the Department of Agriculture's exhibit on the SA Jubilee Train, 1951.
The visit of the Jubilee Train was a special event in most rural locations, with exhibits often being crowded all day. A puppet show engaged by the Jubilee Committee accompanied the train and was undoubtedly the most popular attraction for thousands of school children.
In Burra, some 1,800 people visited the Jubilee train on the weekend of 14th August 1951. The Burra Record newspaper reported that queues of people waiting to visit the train were the largest seen in Burra's history. The displays illustrated to towns like Burra the outstanding progress that had been made in the fields of agriculture and mining.
The Royal Australian Navy exhibit also proved a highlight. It displayed a sectionalised model of the recently arrived light aircraft carrier, the HMAS Sydney. Also on display was a representation of the HMAS Condamine, a frigate attacking a submarine with depth charges.
In all, it was recognised by the SA Government that the Jubilee Train exhibits were of intense value and interest to the rural population of SA.

The State Library of SA also has on its web site ( www.slsa.sa.gov.au/ ) a comprehensive set of photographs of the displays used on the 1951 Jubilee Train.
This article has been prepared by Mr Trevor Roberts, who was employed as a Clerk in the Lands Department, and was the Lands Department representative on the Jubilee Train in 1951. Mr Roberts subsequently became the Senior Administrative Officer in the Department of Agriculture, retiring in 1986.

The rules change that saw the NCAA move back kickoffs from the 35 yard line to the 30 hasn't had the drastic effect everyone predicted it might so far this fall. And if you ask one of the rule's most ardent opponents, he'll tell you another rules change has had a much bigger impact.
When the NCAA mandated that tees be cut down from two inches to one last year, it got little pub. But it's a change Purdue coach Joe Tiller thinks has been vastly overlooked.
"I think the one-inch tee, quite frankly, has had a bigger impact on the kickoff than the 30-yard line," Tiller said this week.
To many people's surprise, the five yard difference hasn't driven the touchback into extinction and we haven't seen any noticeable increase in serious injuries - something Tiller railed about during the summer.
We have, however, seen the rate of touchdowns per return increase and the average yards per return head north. Through four weeks, 19 teams have returned a kickoff for a touchdown compared to 32 all of last season. And the top five teams in the nation are averaging slightly over 32 yards per return while the top five return teams in the country from last season averaged 26 yards per return.
So the five yard difference has equaled roughly six extra yards of field position for some of the nation's best, but Tiller honestly feels the increased numbers have more to do with the tee than the hash marks.
"It's real hard to get underneath that ball and get a lot of air under it and drive the thing into the end zone," Tiller said. "Only the teams that have exceptional legs are able to drive it into the end zone. The rest of us that ball is going to stay in play."
But for all of Tiller's ranting and raving about the kickoff change at Big Ten Media Days, his team is arguably benefiting from the changes more than anyone. The Boilermakers are one of three teams to have returned two kicks back for scores, after not returning any last season, and are averaging roughly 15 more yards per return than they did last season.
It's one of the reasons the Boilermakers find themselves 4-0 on the season and on the verge of breaking through the Top 25 in the AP Poll.
Then again, that unblemished record, and gaudy stats, are more a product of their opponents.
Purdue has beaten Toledo, Eastern Illinois, Central Michigan and Minnesota. And to top it all off, the Boilermakers welcome Notre Dame this weekend, an Irish team that is 0-4 and one that's giving up 27 yards per return.

One of the men was located a short while later, when the vehicle he was driving allegedly failed to stop for police officers on a routine patrol nearby.
There was a short pursuit between police and the vehicle, and it was eventually stopped in Manor Road.
The driver, 28, was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop his vehicle for police.
He was also arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment and was discharged. He remains in police custody.
An eyewitness reported seeing a large police presence in Temple Close overnight and today, including forensics officers, police officers and PCSOs patrolling the area.
A spokeswoman for the force said the second man has not yet been located.

How anthropogenic disturbances drive inland water CO2 emissions
by Li Yuan, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Sampling locations for the measurement of CO2 efflux from reservoirs (n = 122), lakes (n = 625), and rivers (n = 658) across the nine large drainage catchments in China (a). Relationships between the efflux of CO2 and the mean catchment % urban land use (b), % agricultural land use (c), gross domestic production (GDP, d), population density (e), net primary productivity (NPP, f), topsoil organic carbon (SOC, g), topsoil pH (h), and precipitation (i) of each sampling site collected from lakes, reservoirs, and rivers. Map lines delineate study areas and do not necessarily depict accepted national boundaries. Credit: Global Change Biology (2022). DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16475
Carbon emissions from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs make up a large proportion of the global carbon cycle. Recent studies on carbon emission from inland waters in China have been focused on single lakes or rivers, and the underlying factors driving CO2 emissions remain unclear.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. Zhang Yunlin from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences compiled meta data from literatures with measured data on efflux of CO2 from inland waters and obtained a total of 1,405 measurements, including 658 river sites, 625 lake sites, and 122 reservoir sites sampled primarily between 2010 and 2020, and investigated the effluxes of CO2 and drivers across inland waters in China.
This work was published in Global Change Biology on Oct. 10.
Based on several data sharing platforms, the researchers obtained a series of data products including land use and land cover, gross primary productivity (GPP) and net primary productivity (NPP) at spatial resolutions of 30 m and 1 km. Then, they extracted data on catchment urban and agricultural land use, gross domestic product (GDP), population density, NPP, topsoil organic carbon, topsoil pH, and precipitation.
"Through analyzing these data products, we unravel the driven mechanisms of CO2 efflux from lakes, reservoirs and rivers in China," said Prof. Zhang.
The researchers found notably higher CO2 efflux from rivers than from lakes and reservoirs. The effluxes of CO2 from rivers and lakes increased significantly with the increasing catchment urban land use, and CO2 effluxes of lakes and reservoirs increased significantly with increasing catchment agricultural land use.
The effluxes of CO2 from lakes, reservoirs, and rivers increased with increasing catchment GDP and population density. In comparison, no significant relationships were found between the CO2 efflux and catchment annual NPP, topsoil organic carbon concentration, pH of topsoil, or catchment precipitation.
Previous studies have found that compared to less populated regions, the increase in population density results primarily in eutrophication of inland waters caused by the discharge of agricultural, industrial, and residential effluents, as well as nonpoint sources of organic carbon. In eutrophic waters, primary production is commonly increased with high amounts of bio-labile organic matter, favoring microbial degradation and thereby strongly enhancing the CO2 production and emission from inland waters.
These results suggest that anthropogenic disturbances in relation to urbanization and agricultural land use can influence CO2 emissions from inland waters more than catchment productivity, which previously has been identified as the main driver for CO2 emissions from inland waters in less populated regions.
This work demonstrated that the presence of anthropogenic disturbances in catchments, represented by urban and agricultural land use, GDP, and population density, were positively related to the emission of CO2.
It highlighted the importance of in-situ production of CO2 via the degradation of household effluents, nonpoint source- and algal-organic carbon in catchments draining densely populated areas compared with CO2 being directly delivered through inflowing catchment streams.

blaze1984 posted this deal. Say thanks!
Want more deals like this? Create a deal alert for Athletic Shoes.
In for one. Size 10.5 in the black. This will go fast... really good deal for a really good sneaker.
Great deal, as an overpronator these are the best shoes on the market.
Bought the black and gold from some rando on ebay a couple months ago for 50 bucks, have enjoyed them thus far.
Sigh. Phug Lee black color in my size and width, but nice looking blue only for Oompa Loompas. Such is my luck.
Navy and Teal is womens not men.
These are for overpronators. If you normally wear neutral (ie Brooks Glycerin), would it be harmful to run in these?
what is width D mean? i'm a Dumbass for buying from these people?
Don't forget to try to price match at Dicks online you'll get free shipping!
Standard width for men is D, while narrow is B, wide is 2E and extra wide is 4E.
Can't take advantage of this deal but this has been my go-to running shoe for years now. I load up whenever my alert is triggered and 11 2Es are an option. I still have a couple pairs in the queue!


Another day in America, another mass shooting. Early Monday morning, Stephen Paddock turned the Las Vegas strip into a war zone. The terrorist opened fire on a country music festival with an automatic weapon, killing upwards of 50 and injuring more than 500. He was armed with 17 guns.
The mainstream media will cover the events as it always has. There will be first-hand accounts from survivors. There will be a somber montage of the names and faces of those killed. There will be a forensic breakdown of the attack as it happened. There will be speculation about the motivation of the terrorist. There will be political leaders condemning the violence. Maybe a New England senator will call for gun control. There will be mourning, then quickly acceptance. And then we will move on to the next big news story.
On Vanderbilt's campus, the same cycle has played itself out in conversations. There's a sense of moral disorientation. There's a manifestation of empathy. There are guesses about the cause of the attack. And then we talk about the Gen Chem test or the upcoming concert.
There's an emotion that has been deeply underrepresented in the aftermaths of the Newtowns, of the Charlestons, of the Orlandos: anger. We need to be pissed off that our elected leaders have ignored our calls for commonsense gun control, which 85 percent of Americans stand for. We need to be angry that both Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, Tennessee's elected Senators, have accepted money from the NRA. We need to be furious that we have to have this conversation again and again, while no other developed democracies in the world do.
Yes, mourn the victims. Send your thoughts out to the families of the injured. Keep Las Vegas on your mind. But, along with that, actually do something. Call your senator. Yell at your congressperson at a town hall. Go to a protest.
But don't let this one slip through your fingers. Not again.
You put up this piece before we even have the facts of the matter. We don't know how he got the weapons, if he had help, if he had a motive.
Automatic weapons have effectively been illegal since 1986.
How would the government successfully implement additional gun control if it cannot enforce that which it already has?
Are you proposing a 28th amendment that overrides the 2nd?
If you are not in favor of a 28th amendment, what other constitutional rights should we take away?
Ok so let's say you pass that, which in your mind would cut off future sales.
There are over 100 million guns in the United States, do you propose buying all of those back? How do you propose the government has the right to take these away?
Will the black market turn itself over?
Way more people die at the hands of hand guns in Chicago then any assault weapons, should these be taken away?
I acknowledge that there are real problems with gun violence in the United States, but saying you are "pro gun control" needs to have some more detail. "Yell." "Protest." Sure, that's a good way to make noise, but where is the direction and at what cost are you prepared to restrict the individual's right to bear arms?
These are real questions, and it is far to simple to be mad when we are all devastated.
What common sense gun control legislation would have prevented this attack?

But mobile betting is also viewed as the fastest growing sector within sports gambling, given the easy access that generally doesn't require being in a specific physical location.
The language in the Washington bill appears to be set up so that customers can place bets by mobile phone, kiosk or walk-up teller only within the tribal facilities. That would necessitate a geo-fence — a virtual geographic boundary achieved by GPS or RFID technology — being placed around the property to trigger a response once a customer leaves the area.

Microsoft and Symantec stay together in Hotmail deal
David Quainton February 24, 2005
Microsoft's Hotmail email service will continue to be protected by Symantec's Brightmail anti-spam service, according to a contract secured today.
The news comes despite Microsoft's recent acquisition of Sybari and GeCad and anti-spam company Giant, moves which many analysts thought would bring an end to its relationship with Symantec.
"Symantec Brightmail anti-spam is an important part of our overall spam fighting solution and we're pleased to extend out agreement with Symantec to help protect our customers from unwanted email," said Kevin Doerr, MSN Hotmail product unit manager at Microsoft.
Symantec was understandably buoyed by the extension of a deal first struck on November 2002. Shares in Symantec have risen markedly in the hours since its announcement.
Microsoft has long been a vocal and vociferous campaigner against spam. Earlier in the year SC reported a Microsoft lawsuit against Texan spammer Ryan Pitylak.
The news arrives on the same day San Francisco-based research group Ferris Research revealed that spam will cost US businesses $17 billion this year and that figure could grow to as much as $50 billion globally. The Global Economic Impact of Spam, 2005, highlights that most of this loss is due to a decrease in employee productivity.
