Mercury-Atlas 6:
John Glenn became the first U.S. astronaut to be launched into orbit, as Mercury 6 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 9:47 a.m. local time (1447 UTC) and attained orbit at 9:59 (1459 UTC). An estimated 60 million persons viewed the launch on live television. After three circuits of the Earth, Glenn's spacecraft left orbit at 2:20 p.m. (1920 UTC), landed in the Atlantic Ocean at 2:43 (1943 UTC) about  southeast of Bermuda, and was recovered by the destroyer  at 3:04 (2004 UTC), after being in the water for 21 minutes.  Glenn would return to outer space more than 35 years later, on October 29, 1998, at the age of 77, becoming the oldest human to orbit the Earth.
The basic objectives of Project Mercury had been reached, with a human put into Earth orbit, his reactions to space environment observed, and his safe return to Earth to a point where he could be readily found. Before the flight, there had been concern about the psychological effects of prolonged weightlessness. To the contrary, there were no debilitating or harmful effects; Glenn found zero gravity conditions handy in performing his tasks, and felt exhilarated during his four and a half hours of weightlessness. One of the interesting sidelights of the Glenn flight was his report of "fire flies" when he entered the sunrise portion of an orbit. For several months, the phenomenon remained a mystery, until the May 24 Mercury 7 mission when Scott Carpenter accidentally tapped the spacecraft wall with his hand, releasing many of the so-called "fire flies." The source was determined to be frost from the reaction control jets.
During the flight two major problems were encountered: (1) a yaw attitude control jet apparently clogged, forcing the astronaut to abandon the automatic control system for the manual-electrical fly-by-wire system and the manual-mechanical system; and (2) a faulty switch in the heat shield circuit indicated that the clamp holding the shield had been prematurely released - a signal later found to be false. During reentry, however, the retropack was not jettisoned but retained as a safety measure to hold the heat shield in place in the event it had loosened.
Five days after making both rape and attacks on police subject to capital punishment, the Soviet Union restored the death penalty for persons convicted of accepting bribes. Females were exempt from the death penalty under any circumstances, as were men who had reached the age of 60 by the time of their sentencing.

Kennedy, for whom Cape Canaveral would be renamed temporarily during the 1960s and early 1970s, greeted Glenn and personally awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal to Glenn and Robert R. Gilruth. Kennedy praised Glenn for "professional skill, unflinching courage and extraordinary ability to perform a most difficult task under physical stress." It was then that Glenn revealed in an interview that the heat shield on his capsule began to break up upon re-entry, the loss of which would have been fatal. Glenn calmly said, "it could have been a bad day for everybody".

Canada Unexpectedly Loses Jobs
Posted on October 8/2010 by Mortgage For Less
OTTAWA — The Canadian economy lost 6,600 jobs in September, Statistics Canada said Friday, as the country's recovery faltered after an initially strong rebound from recession.
The jobless rate declined to eight per cent during the month, from 8.1% in August, "as fewer people, particularly youth, participated in the labour market," the federal agency said.
Economists' forecasts had ranged from 10,000 to 12,500 new jobs last month, following a gain of 35,800 in August, with the unemployment rate staying at 8.1%.
Canada's gross domestic product declined in July for the first time in almost a year Statistics Canada said Thursday the economy shrank 0.1 per cent during the month.
The July data marked the first monthly contraction since August 2009, when GDP shrank 0.1%. That had been the only month to show a decline in economic activity since a 10-month string of reduced GDP readings between August 2008 and May 2009.
The Bank of Canada had anticipated 3.5% growth this year and 2.9% in 2011, although those projections are expected to be revised downward when the central bank releases its updated economic outlook on Oct. 20.
That slower growth has put into question any further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada.
The central bank has raised in recent months its trendsetting interest rate from a record low 0.25% to its current level of one per cent. The bank's next policy meeting is Oct. 19.

Steptoe & Son (1972) on Thorn EMI
Steptoe & Son 1972
director: Cliff Owen
Wilfrid Brambell Harry H. Corbett Carolyn Seymour Arthur Howard Victor Maddern Fred Griffiths Queenie Watts Patsy Smart Alec Mango Perri St. Clare Lon Satton Vivien Lloyd Mike Reid Barry Ingham Joan Heath
If you were one of the millions hooked on the TV series, then it's more than likely that you'll be hooting with laughter at this. It contains the same ingredients: a Galton and Simpson script with Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H. Corbett in the leads, and that unique blend of farce and pathos. This lively comedy, directed by Cliff Owen in 1972, was the first of the Steptoe films. It opens with father and son leaving the divorce court in their horse and cart. They are quarrelling as usual, but this time about Harold's marriage and they recall the events of the past year...Harold announces one evening that he's off to the stag night at the local football club and his father insists on joining him. The night's entertainment includes a performance from Zita, a stripper, for whom Harold immediately falls. Next morning the couple are engaged. Albert's efforts to frustrate the marriage are useless and, after the ceremony, the threesome leave for their honeymoon on the Costa Brava. But Albert gets food poisoning, insists on returning home and, as their are only two remaining seats on the plane, Harold has to accompany him, leaving his wife behind. Later efforts to patch up the marriage when Zita is pregnant end in failure. Of course it's tragic, but that's life. It's also hilarious. Minutes before the wedding is due to take place, there is a mad scrabble for the ring which is lost in a pile of horse manure and there is subsequently much embarrassment at the ceremony. And when a baby is abandoned in the yard, Harold and father have it christened and assume parental responsibility. That is until the baby disappears with its own unknown mother. Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H. Corbett re-enact the love-hate relationship of the TV series with the same unerring accuracy. Harold is still the hopeful innocent, eager to escape his environment but inevitably tied to the cunning but impossible Albert. By PATRICA PERILLI

As one of the best teams in the league, it's not surprising to see so many Pittsburgh players in consideration for roster spots in the Sochi Olympics, nor is it a surprise to see Dan Bylsma and Ray Shero involved with the US team. From the obvious (Crosby, Malkin) to the completely shocking (Maatta), the Pittsburgh Penguins placed 7 players on their respective countries' Olympic rosters, up from 5 at the 2010 Olympics. Tough decisions were made across the globe on who to bring and who to leave home, and even players who won't be making the trip to Sochi could make compelling arguments for why they should. The post below looks at what to expect from the Olympians while also attempting to explain why some in the mix missed the final cut.
This was as open and shut of a case as there gets, as only a severe injury could have prevented Crosby from making the Canadian team. Sidney Crosby is participating in his second Olympic Games, and will be captaining the Canadian Team in Sochi after scoring the Golden Goal to clinch the gold medal for the Canadians in Vancouver. While chemistry was an issue for Crosby in 2010 and was one of the popular subjects leading up to the roster announcement, it shouldn't be an issue this time around. Expect current Pittsburgh linemate Chris Kunitz to ride shotgun on LW, while Steven Stamkos, health permitting, would head in as the favorite to start on RW. Sidney Crosby will be top line, top power play, and top priority for opposing defenses as Canada tries to defend Gold.
Possibly no selection for these Winter Games has generated as much debate as Chris Kunitz. Despite being 5th in the league in points (48) and 6th in goals (23), his production has been discounted by many as a product of playing with Sidney Crosby. Steve Yzerman summed it up best in his comments when he said, "ultimately we asked ourselves the question, on his own does he belong on this team, and our answer was, yes, he belongs on this team." While he's expected to play on Crosby's wing, Kunitz made the team on the strength of his own game, as he showed through the years that he can be the perfect compliment to star linemates, not only with Sidney Crosby but with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry in Anaheim and with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal in Pittsburgh as well. He won't see much special teams time, but the grit in his game and willingness to go into the tough areas will compliment whoever he plays with.
Jussi Jokinen won a silver medal with Team Finland in Torino in 2006, and after being left off the bronze medal team in Vancouver he returns for his second Olympic games. The Finnish team features 16 NHLers, including 9 at forward, and Jokinen's versatility and ability to play both center and wing will allow Team Finland to play him up and down the lineup. Expect to see him lining up at center, getting in on the special teams, and taking key faceoffs. He won't start for the Finns, but he'll play key minutes and will be an important past of Finland winning a medal for a third straight Olympics.
Olli Maatta is easily the most shocking Olympic selection among Pittsburgh Penguins players as he wasn't even expected to make the NHL team coming into training camp, let alone excel enough during the first half of the season to be mentioned in the Olympic conversation. The plan in Pittsburgh was to send him back to the London Knights, give him a final junior season, complete with World Junior Championship experience, and allow him develop before turning pro for the 2014-15 season. Much like with Pittsburgh, Maatta's steady play and beyond his years hockey IQ made it impossible for the Finns to leave him home. He'll have to earn a spot on the active roster and his ice time in Sochi, but as far as he's come already it'll be hard to bet against him.
Another selection that left no doubt, Evgeni Malkin will be returning to Team Russia for his third Olympic Games, yet he'll still be looking for his first medal. Like Sidney Crosby in 2010, Malkin will return to his home country trying lead his team back to gold. Malkin will team with Pavel Datsyuk to form arguably the best 1-2 punch in Sochi, and with snipers like Ilya Kovalchuk and Alexander Ovechkin among others, the Russians should be able to fully take advantage of Malkin's playmaking talents. He'll play big minutes at even strength and on the power play and be an integral part in how well the Russian offense performs at the Games.
Brooks Orpik reutrns to Team USA after nearly winning the gold medal in Vancouver, although the international ice will present a new challenge for a player not exactly known for being fleet of foot. Regardless, Orpik will be counted on to provide a physical presence in his own end, getting some big minutes on the penalty kill and likely pairing with Paul Martin to give Dan Bylsma a second shutdown line in addition to the Ryan Suter pairing.
While Paul Martin was named to the American team for the 3rd time, he failed to see any action in Torino in 2006 and missed the Olympic Games altogether in 2010 with a broken arm, so this will be his first Olympic action. Even with the lack of Olympic experience, Paul Martin's game is perfectly suited to the international ice, as his smooth skating and passing ability will allow him to take full advantage of the extra space, while his mobility will counter the advantage the international ice presents to the opposing offense. Don't be surprised if Bylsma leans heavily on Martin throughout the games and he logs the second most ice time on the team behind Ryan Suter.
While the Penguins placed 7 players on their respective countries' Olympic teams, they also had several other players in the mix for roster spots. The following players are listed by how close they came to earning a trip to Sochi.
James Neal put up 20 goals in each of his first three seasons in the league with the Dallas Stars, but it was the next two seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Evgeni Malkin's wing that Neal started to fully blossom into one of the best pure scorers in the league. Despite an injury and suspension causing him to miss 20 games so far this year, James Neal has taken another big step forward as his 16 goals and 35 points have him sitting 4th in goals/game (0.64) and 2nd in points/game (1.40) in the entire league, putting him on pace for 40 goals and 87 points in just 62 games. However, what likely left Neal off the final roster for Team Canada were concerns about his defensive play, especially considering the international ice. Despite missing out on a roster spot, he remains one of the top options as an injury replacement, and if Steven Stamkos has a set back in his recovery and can't play Neal would be the logical choice to replace his shot and scoring ability.
Marc-Andre Fleury won a gold medal with Canada in 2010, making the team as the third goalie coming off his success the previous two playoffs as he led the Penguins to two Eastern Conference Championships and a Stanley Cup, but despite putting up career numbers this season he never really was in the mix to make the team. A string of sub-standard playoff performances since the last Olympics, and probably also the memories of his failed clear costing Canada the gold in the 2004 WJC, made it very unlikely that Fleury would be invited back. It's always possible that Roberto Luongo could aggravate his injury and miss the Games, allowing a strong month from Fleury to propel him to Sochi as an injury replacement, but even in that scenario he's unlikely to see any game action and would again serve as the third goaltender.
Kris Letang was viewed as a borderline candidate to make Team Canada during the 2013 offseason despite having a skillset that would seem to be perfectly suited for the larger international ice. Heading into the year he had a great shot to make the team with some strong play, but unfortunately a couple injuries and some less than stellar play made him an easy omission for the Team Canada brass. While Letang's strong skating and offensive skills would have flourished with the extra room, questions about his defensive ability loomed large and offset the positives of what he could have added. At this point it remains very unlikely that Letang would get an invitation regardless of what injuries occur along the Canadian blue line.
While Beau Bennett was never seriously expected to push for a spot on Team USA, he was invited to the US Orientation Camp and therefore was technically in consideration for a roster spot, even though it appears that his invitation, along with several others, was to familiarize a potential future generation of US Olympians with the process. It's highly unlikely that he would have made the team even with a great first half to the season (see Brandon Saad), but an underwhelming start cut short by injury only confirmed the inevitable.
Tomas Vokoun had started in goal for the Czechs at the last two Olympics and led the team to a bronze medal in Torino, yet he had seemed to remove himself from contention for the Sochi roster last spring before the start of the playoffs. However, given his stellar play in the playoffs and the lack of goaltending talent on the Czech roster, it seems likely that they would have asked Vokoun to start in goal for a third straight Games, and it also seems unlikely that he would have been able to turn down his country if they had come asking. Unfortunately in the end the decision was taken out of his hands as he's missed the entire season so far dealing with complications from blood clots, but Vokoun still remains the most talented Czech goalie active today and would have been an easy addition if healthy.
- The Winter Olympics return to international ice (210' x 98') after being played on an NHL rink (200' x 85') in Vancouver in 2010. Don't be surprised to see the North American teams struggle to get reacquainted with the larger ice surface. It's been 8 years since the Olympics were last held on international ice, and while the World Championships are held every season many players will have limited exposure to the international game as they're participating in the NHL playoffs.
- Expect to see big things out of the Scandinavian countries. Finland has medaled in each of the last two Olympic Games, and Sweden always has one of the more talented teams at the Games. Expect to see both teams playing for a medal, whether it's in the gold medal game or the bronze medal game.
- Russia enters the Sochi Games with similar strengths and weaknesses as the one that was blown out 7-3 by the Canadians in the quarterfinals in Vancouver, with lots of talent on offense but question marks on defense and in goal. While the Russians should get a boost from playing in their home country, the pressure on them will be immense and it looks likely that they will fail to medal yet again.

[PREMIERE] Papur Wal – Brychni Haul
Originally from North Wales, Papur Wal are a slacker-pop trio who were formed in Cardiff after they, "arrived as stowaways on the capital city's streets". While the band's influences seem to come from across the planet, it was writing in their native Welsh that inspired the rich vein of creativity that produced their debut album, Amser Mynd Adra. Translating as Time To Go Home, the album is set for release next week via Libertino Records, and today the band are sharing the video to the latest track lifted from it, Brychni Haul.
Photo by Sam Stevens.
Brychni Haul is a track that in many ways showcases the progression in Papur Wal's music, as their influences shifted from 90's slacker-rock to a more retro-pop feel, incorporating the gargantuan choruses of Big Star with the wistful melodies of early Beatles' records. Vocalist Ianto's easy melody and prominent guitar twang are accompanied by the crisp, almost militaristic drum-beat and the steady walking-bass, reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub or fellow Welsh-wonder Sweet Baboo. With a title translating as freckles, Papur Wal describe Brychni Haul as a reminder, "no matter how bad it can get, you're often having a better time than others and you should be counting your blessings for that".
Check out the new video below, recorded on a vintage Elmo Super 103t and described by the band as, "a glance at the start of the summer". Then read on for our Q&A with the band where we talk about the Welsh music boom, working with Libertino Records and how they "went into the pandemic still feeling like students, and came out of it feeling like boring adults".
FTR: For those who don't know who are Papur Wal?
We are three North Walians living in Cardiff who love melodies.
FTR: You're premiering your new single Brychni Haul today, what can you tell me about the track?
When we wrote this song we had just moved out from living with each other and into separate houses. That period that preceded it was awful for most people, but it was one of the best times of my life, definitely. The comedown from that was quite depressing, and I'm sure we were depressing to live with after it! So this was written at the end of summer 2020, in lockdown, so there wasn't much to except reflect and write music. This was an attempt to make light of the situation and keep everything in perspective,
This song documents that time and the adaptations that one has to make when moving out from living with your friends. There's a lot of stream of consciousness, and a lot of observational bits in this song of things that were happening, but the main message is that there are worse things happening in the world than me not being able to live with my friends anymore!!
FTR: The track is lifted from your Amser Mynd Adra, what can you tell me about recording the album?
The album was recorded with our producer and widely-regarded-best-guy-ever Krissy Jenkins. He did Cate Le Bon's early stuff and H Hawkline's stuff and does loads of stuff now. We recorded the majority of the album in his old place, and the finishing touches at his new place. I think the more we work with Krissy the more he gives us, he's the kind of producer/engineer that just gets better and better the more he gets to know you and what you're into etc. He's also quite a nerdy guy at heart and always wants to try new things out, and we really enjoy that. Beyond that he is our mate and we just love shooting the shit with him, he has lived and has a story about everything. We probably took about a year to a year and a half to finish it. It was an amazing time spent with our mate Krissy.
FTR: Did you go into recording these tracks thinking it was going to be an album? Or is it more of a collection of songs?
The goal was always an album, but they weren't recorded in one block in a studio like the more traditional approach. It was 3 or 4 songs per weekend slot booking time off work and without gigs.
FTR: I've seen this record described as being about moving, "away from the carefree abundance of young adulthood". Have you found that transition difficult?
I touched on it on the question about the single. It was definitely difficult, but the more I talk about it in interviews and such, the more I think maybe we're making a bit of a fuss, it pales in comparison to the problems other people have faced over the last 18 months.
It was weird, we went into the pandemic still feeling like students, and came out of it feeling like boring adults I think. So it's as if we've left one period of our lives and entered another. The name of the album 'Amser Mynd Adra' (Time to go home') touches on that.
Photo by Sam Stevens
FTR: The album is coming out on Libertino Records, how did that come about? Are record labels still important to you?
Gruff from Libertino loved a couple of our early demos we recorded in 2017 and came to meet us and it just made sense. It's such a stacked roster and such a pleasure to be a part of it.
FTR: There's a lot of very creative music coming out of Wales at the moment, does it feel like a good time for Welsh music to you?
Definitely, we just played a double header this weekend with label mates Bandicoot, and played with Clwb Fuzz and Shlug on both bills. We hadn't played with any before this weekend, which shows you the depth around Wales at the moment. We're keen to expand beyond Welsh language audiences too – who are still obviously so important to us – but it was amazing to have a room full of people who don't know what the words mean loving your music.
There are loads of other amazing welsh language bands too like Los Blancos who have just released a new EP, Mellt who are about to release their second album, Y Dail who beyond their years in terms of incredible songwriting, and Pys Melyn who released an amazing debut album recently and have some more incredible songs on the way.
FTR: Who are the influences on Papur Wal music? What were you listening to when you wrote thare record?
We're predominantly into music from the 60s and 70s. Early Beatles, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, CSNY, Big Star, Townes Van Zandt, Todd Rundgren. A bit of a mix really, but generally anything with a good melody.
FTR: It's obviously a strange world to be releasing the album into, how has the pandemic affected your plans?
The pandemic was a bit of a blessing for us really. Before it we were playing every weekend, and didn't have time to practice, demo or write enough due to other commitments so we were a bit burnt out and unsure what to do. It was a bit of a reset for us, we had time to reflect, we wrote loads together, we developed our production and songwriting, and after we finished the album we started practicing consistently to make sure we were ready when gigs came back.
FTR: What's the best way for people to support musicians at this time?
Buy directly from us through the Libertino Records store or through our Bandcamp. We actually keep more of a % from Libertino than from bandcamp.
FTR: What's next for Papur Wal?
We have 6 or 7 shows in October, and a few more on the horizon leading into the new year, so touring the living hell out of the album and getting this album out to as many people from as many different background as possible really.
Amser Mynd Adra (Time To Go Home), is out October 8th via Libertino Records. For more information on Papur Wal visit https://www.facebook.com/papurval/.

FUDOFSI (), headed by Constant Chevillon (1880–1944), was a federation of independent esoteric orders similar to FUDOSI, but strongly opposed to the other group.

History
FUDOFSI was established in defense of the Orders of Lyon and other societies that were not involved with FUDOSI. FUDOFSI was strongly opposed to FUDOSI, Harvey Spencer Lewis and his organisation Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC). Very little information is known about FUDOFSI since neither the organisation or its leader survived the Second World War (in 1944, Constant Chevillon, the head of FUDOFSI, was murdered by the Gestapo).

First meeting
The first meeting of FUDOFSI took place in Paris in February 1939.

List of people present:
 Reuben Swinburne Clymer
 Alfred I. Sharp
 Count Jean de Czarnomsky
 Constant Chevillon
 Henri-Charles Dupont
 Henri Dubois
 Raoul Fructus (former member of the FUDOSI)
 Andre Fayolle
 Nauwelaerts
 Laugenier
 Camille Savoir

Hans Rudolf Hilfiker-Dunn and Arnoldo Krumm-Heller joined FUDOFSI later.

Organisations represented in the first convention of 1939
 L'Ordre Martiniste-Martineziste de Lyon
 L'Eglise Gnostique Universelle
 Order of Knight Masons Elus Cohen of the Universe
 The Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis Mizraim
 Ordre De Saint Graal
 Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua
 Fraternitas Rosae Crucis
 Ordre Kabbalistique De La Rose Croix (different lineage)
 Rite Ecossais Rectifie
 Brotherhood of the Illumined Brethren of the Rose-Croix

The end of FUDOFSI
FUDOFSI ceased to exist at some point during World War II. However, in 1947 some of its members contacted each other and tried to establish a new organisation. Hans-Rudolf Hilfiker and R. Swinburne Clymer (1878–1966) tried to create a Worldwide Alliance of Rosicrucian Orders. In Rio de Janeiro, Clymer successfully merged his organisation with Krumm-Heller's. Hilfiker and Clymer had a meeting on May 7, 1947 and also on June 5, 1948, in Zürich, Switzerland at the hotel Baur au Lac. The Fraternitas Rosae Crucis official biography of Emerson Myron Clymer, son of R. S. Clymer, describes him as Supreme Grand Master of FUDOFSI after his father's death, so it is possible that the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis considers FUDOFSI to have survived later.

SECTION 5 OF THE VILLAGE OF CHEVY CHASE
Place: 5906 Connecticut Ave., Chevy Chase Village Hall
Present: Peter Gray; Frances L. Higgins; Nancy Pines; Chris Richardson; Greg White; 8 Section 5 residents
Agenda Item: Minutes
Peter moved that the June 13, 2012, Council meeting minutes be approved as revised; there was a second and the motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item: Citizens Concerns
A resident told the Council that some of the liriope plants which the Councilhad planted some time ago in the public strip in front of her house have died. She said that some of these plants have died because of the severe winter weather. She said that the Council had agreed at an earlier Council meeting to assume the cost of replenishing these dead plants. A resident complained about the plants that are intruding on the public sidewalk at the southeast corner of Williams Lane and Connecticut Avenue and obstructing pedestrians trying to navigate the sidewalk.
The Council agreed to replenish the dead liriope plants in front of the resident's house.
The manager will contact the resident at the southeast corner of Williams Lane and Connecticut Avenue and ask her to trim the hedges in her front yard.
Agenda Item: McCrone Proposal Concerning Section 5's Storm Drains
Bill Warnock, an engineer with McCrone, Inc., said that his company is able to subcontract with another company like TVR which can video tape the interior of Section 5's storm drain system pipes. This video tape would allow the Council to view the interior of all the storm drain pipes and determine their condition. Someone asked about the life expectancy of precast concrete storm drains; Section 5 has precast concrete pipes. Bill said that there is very little data concerning the life expectancy of precast concrete storm drain pipes.
Someone asked about the cost of video taping Section 5's entire storm drain system. Bill said that the cost would be approximately $19,000.00. Someone asked if the proposal could include only the pipes that are at greatest risk. Bill said that the proposal could include those portions of the system that are most at risk and thus the cost would be less.
The manager will determine the age of Section 5's precast concrete storm drain pipes and report back to the Council.
Agenda Item: Residents' Responses to the Survey on Chevy Chase Circle Signalization Proposal
Peter said that Section 5 received survey forms from 52% of the residents and that 52% of those responding were for the signalization of the Circle and 44% were opposed. He said that many of the responders included comments.
The manager will write a letter stating the reason for the survey and include a copy of the survey results. She will send a copy of this letter and a copy of the survey results to the District Department of Transportation and the Board of Governors in the Village.
Agenda Item: Discussion of Competing Charitable Solicitations by the CC Fire Department and The B-CC Rescue Squad
Craig Pernick, a Williams Lane resident, is a volunteer with the B-CC Rescue Squad. He said that there has been some concern about the members of the Chevy Chase Fire Board sending a letter to Chevy Chase residents asking for solicitations to help with the cost of items that the County does not supply the Chevy Chase Fire Department. John Fisher, a Section 5 member of the Chevy Chase Fire Board, wrote a letter and sent a copy to Section 5's Council stating that he is opposed to such solicitations. He said that there is always a need for extra money to help pay for new equipment and training classes.
Craig said that the B-CC Rescue Squad does not receive any money from the County and thus receives its money from contributions only. Someone asked what Section 5's Council's position is concerning these solicitations. There was some discussion.
The manager will contact Section 5's two other Fire Board members and ask them about their views on this solicitation and report back to the Council.
The manager said that the expenditure items in FY 2012 – 13 budget are all within the budget limits.
Building Inspector's Report
Permits granted:
7203 Brookville Rd. - demolition of existing house
7205 Brookville Rd. - construct house, pool house, pool
3507 Thornapple St. – construct 2 story addition in rear
The manager told the Council that some Section 5 residents are installing generators that are permanently installed and need a County permit. Section 5 does not have an ordinance that pertains to permanently installed generators thus residents will follow the County's ordinances pertaining to such generators.
The manager will write a letter to the owner of the property at 3600 Thornapple St. advising him that he needs to remove the large stump from his front yard.
The manager said that the County is in the process of revising the ordinances pertaining to accessory apartments. There was some discussion about Section 5 Council's position on this revision. Chris asked the manager to obtain information about the County's present ordinances concerning accessory apartments and the revisions.
Peter asked the Council members if they would agree to change the October Council meeting date from October 9th to October 10th.
Chris thanked the manager for the good block party.
The manager said that she has had some concern about 2 large public trees which were damaged by the summer storms thus she has had the arborist inspect them. He gave them a clean bill of health.
LGIT, Section 5's insurance company, notified Section 5 that it passed the Hazard Evaluation Survey. The cost of insurance for Section 5 for the year 2012-13 was only $47.53 because Section 5 has never had a claim which was paid by the insurance company. Someone from Alan Beal's office will inspect the construction at 7205 Brookville Rd. to be certain that the building activity is being done according to the County's ordinances.
The Council has designated the manager as the resident agent so that if Section 5 is served a legal document, the manager is authorized to accept this document.
The manager suggested that residents of Section 5 be invited to display their wares, art, crafts, etc. at the Annual Meeting. There was some concern about residents offering their wares for sale. Greg suggested that a resident could conduct any sale of his/her wares outside the meeting.
The manager will obtain information concerning the County's present accessory apartment ordinances and the proposed changes.
The members agreed to the change and the manager will email Council members with the date change.
Peter asked the manager to change the printer's address list of residents to which it sends notices and include on the envelope the name of the specific resident rather than a generic title of "Resident." Peter said that this may cause residents to treat the mail from Section 5 as personal rather than junk mail.
The manager will email a copy of the investment policy to the Council and include a copy with the October agenda mailing.
The next Council meeting will be held October 10, 2012, at the Village Hall, 5906 Connecticut Avenue, at 7:30 PM. Everyone is welcome. The Village Hall is handicapped accessible.

Q: I want to concatenate two txt files and store into a third txt file and I want to perform merge sort operation on a particular variable. How to do? #include <stdio.h>

struct student
{

    int roll,age;
    char name[30],branch[30];
}s;

int main()
{

    FILE*fp1,*fp2;
    int num1,num2,i;
    printf("Enter the Number of Students to compute the data in 1st file: ");
    scanf("%d",&num1);
    fp1=fopen("Dbms lab-1 1sttxt.txt","w");
    for(i=0;i<num1;i++)
    {
        printf("\nEnter the Name of the Student: ");
        scanf("%s",s.name);
        printf("Enter the Branch the Student is studying in: ");
        scanf("%s",s.branch);
        printf("Enter the Age of the Student: ");
        scanf("%d",&s.age);
        printf("Enter the Roll Number: ");
        scanf("%d",&s.roll);
        fprintf(fp1,"\nName: %s\nBranch: %s\nAge: %d\nRoll.No: %d",s.name,s.branch,s.age,s.roll);

    }
    printf("The Record is stored in the file.");
    fclose(fp1);
    printf("Enter the Number of Students to compute data in 2nd file: ");
    scanf("%d",&num2);
    printf("\n\n Enter Student detials in the second file")
    fp2=fopen("Dbms lab-1 2ndtxt.txt","w");
    for(i=0;i<num2;i++)
    {
        printf("\n\nEnter the Name of the Student: ");
        scanf("%s",s.name);
        printf("Enter the Branch the Student is studying in: ");
        scanf("%s",s.branch);
        printf("Enter the Age of the Student: ");
        scanf("%d",&s.age);
        printf("Enter the Roll Number: ");
        scanf("%d",&s.roll);
        fprintf(fp1,"\nName: %s\nBranch: %s\nAge: %d\nRoll.No: %d",s.name,s.branch,s.age,s.roll);

    }
    printf("The Record is stored in the file.");
    fclose(fp2);
    return 0;}

So I've entered details and stored them in two text files. Now I want to concatenate these two text files and I want to perform merge sort on the variable "roll". So I basically want to sort the concatenated file in an ascending order according to the "roll" value. I want to print all the data including the name,age and branch along with the roll number in an ascending order.How should I proceed from here ?

Privacy and Media Freedom
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right at the heart of any democratic society. It is, however, inevitably restricted by other important values, including the right to privacy: the control individuals exercise over their sensitive personal information. The English law, since the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998, has undergone a tectonic shift in its recognition of this right protected by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which the Act assimilated into domestic law. The new civil wrong, 'misuse of private information,' now affords greater protection to an individual's 'private and family life, home and correspondence.' The press is, of course, no longer the principal purveyor of news and information. The Internet offers abundant opportunities for the dissemination of news and opinions, including the publication of intimate, private facts. Social media, blogs, and other online sites are accessible to all. Indeed, the fragility of privacy online has led some to conclude that it is no longer capable of legal protection. This book examines the right of privacy from a legal, philosophical, and social perspective, tracing its genesis in the United States, through the development of the law of confidence, and its recent recognition by the Human Rights Act. The English courts have boldly sought to offer refuge from an increasingly intrusive media. Recent years have witnessed a deluge of civil suits by celebrities seeking to salvage what remains of their privacy. An extensive body of case law has appeared in many common law jurisdictions over the last decade, which shows no sign of abating. The Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practices, and ethics of the press, sparked by the hacking of telephones by newspapers, revealed a greater degree of media intrusion than was previously evident. Its conclusions and recommendations, particularly regarding the regulation of the media, are examined, as well as the various remedies available to victims of intrusion and unsolicited publicity. The law is locked in a struggle to reconcile privacy and free speech, in the face of relentless advances in technology. The manner in which courts in various jurisdictions have attempted to resolve this conflict is critically investigated, and the prospects for the protection of privacy are considered.


Albion Rovers FC are embarking on a series of activities to review its vision and prioritise its objectives for the club.
In previous years the Rovers board had developed plans, but these have been more internally focussed. The board recognised that the club needed to widen the conversation about its priorities and increase participation in any review process, in order to ensure that the aims and objectives of Albion Rovers FC are formed from a shared vision, collated from the views of all those having an interest in ensuring a positive future for the club, especially its supporters.
We will also look to the future to confirm where we want to be and, more importantly, how we get there?
What contribution can you make? Sign the pledge to help in IT/Match day/Social Media/ Fundraising/Ground upkeep/Admin…any skill or time you have that can help the Rovers stay strong.
An online survey, will give all supporters an opportunity to participate in the consultation exercise, including those unable to attend consultation event.
The consultation event will be led by new Albion Rovers Supporters' Trust Chair, Alison McGowan with David Douglas, Albion Rovers Chief Executive and Brian Kerr, Albion Rovers FC Manager held on the lounge part of the stadium at 7pm on Wednesday 16th August.
The questionnaire will be available on line from Friday 18th August.
No need to register your interest for the evening event on August 16th.
Good to see U20s `keeper Daniel Potts making his full debut last night v Spartans, in a side showing seven changes from that which started v Queens Park last Saturday. Not only did the debutant `keeper keep a clean sheet for 120 minutes of play but made two penalty saves in the shoot out which took Rovers into the next round.
Cheers Grant. Got it and replied!
It's rude to whisper, boys. Spill the beans.
I don't really care about the Irn-Bru cup, but worry that the club will be punished financially.
What's with all the check the pm's, are the rovers boys pm to arrange a ruck with the old section B ?
Zimmer frames at dawn, although, to be fair, it doesn't seem to stop the Airdrie boys.
Who would you consider to be Albion Rovers legends?
John White, Matt Carson, Jock Stein, Tony Green, Jim Brown, Danny Hegan, John Brogan, Peter Dickson, Scott Chaplain, John Dillon, Ray Franchetti, John Gemmell, Vic Kasule, Kevin McCallister, Tommy Sermanni, Duncan Shields, Bernie Slaven, Mark Yardley, Jim Chapman.......just a few of the top of my head.
Wot! No Ciaran Donnelly? if big Gemmell is there so too should Ciaran be.
I never saw the fuss over this guy.
David held this meeting with Clyde fans last season too. Was a very good and worthwhile meeting.

Mention the Middle East and immediately assumptions stream into our minds. Maybe it's images of women covered from head to toe, wealthy sheiks, a whole lot of sand, and camels wandering on every corner. Or maybe it's fearful illusions of radical executions, terrorists, strict rules, and powerless women. Whatever it may be, here is the real truth of what the Middle East is really like [through my eyes].
