All eyes and attention will be on Brazil as the sporting world gathers in Rio for the Olympics and Paralympics for a plethora of sporting events set to deliver incredible performances and amazing memories for fans and spectators. Sadly, the run up has been marred by a number of incidents which have called into question the integrity of sport.
Although these exciting and challenging aspects of sport rightly attract our attention, we must also give full recognition to the positive impact that sport makes at the community level right across the Commonwealth. The role that sport can play in contributing to sustainable development, in areas like health, education, gender equality and economic development, deserves the same amount of attention as the glitz, glamour and scandal of high performance sport.
We, at the Commonwealth Secretariat, are delighted therefore that the Commonwealth has taken the opportunity, in the wings of the of the Olympic Games, to bring together Ministers with responsibility for sport in our member governments for a day of discussions centred on sport and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out an 'ambitious and transformational vision' for global development. Of particular significance for sports policy-makers is the recognition in the 2030 Agenda that sport can be 'an important enabler of sustainable development'.
The Commonwealth Secretariat has undertaken comprehensive evidenced-based consultations looking at where sport can make effective contributions to development.
This Commonwealth analysis identifies six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where sport can best help drive positive change, these being in health (SDG3), education (SDG4), gender equality (SDG5), economic growth (SDG8), sustainable communities (SDG11), and peace (SDG16), with a recognition that partnerships (SDG17) are a crucial aspect of the means of implementation.
We are working with experts at Durham University to produce guidance on policy options available, to identify how best sport can contribute to sustainable development in Commonwealth member countries.
The impact of these policies could be substantial, for example, evidence suggests that physical inactivity is a contributory factor in a substantial 5.5 million deaths a year. Thus, aligning sport and public health policies may help leverage sport and recreation infrastructure investment that can facilitate population-level increases in physical activity levels. The result? A contribution to a reduction in non-communicable diseases (SDG target 3.4).
Of course at the Commonwealth we know that one size does not fit all - each country has a unique and specific context. Therefore, we think it is important that Sports Ministers and their teams engage with national processes to fully integrate the SDGs into national development outcomes and strategies. The Commonwealth stands ready to provide support to our member governments to assist them in adopting sport as a viable approach to development.
I look forward to watching, and enjoying the sporting excitement, moments of national pride, and to be amazed at the feats of individual athletic brilliance over the next few weeks. As we do so, let us concurrently consider how sport has and could continue to contribute enormously to our own lives, our communities, our national and global development.

The Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury recently replaced 17 older media players with Signagelive and Chromebox and added in an additional 13 x 22" Samsung screens also using Signagelive.
The 22" screens are located above the door leading to the auditorium and are used to relay important information to customers about the show. Information such as how long the show is, warnings such as strobe lighting, loud bangs or no photography.
The digital signage upgrade was originally about promoting the Theatre Productions and the Restaurant they have on site, but it was soon obvious to their senior management team that this new system, which was easy to use, was also about how they communicated with their customers.
Paul continued "Over 400,000 people enter the building a year, and the style in which we speak to our customers is important. Therefore, we implemented a further 13 mini 22 inch screens at our door entry points to relay important information about the performances to our customers.
This, in our opinion is the standard that our customers expect from a Theatre of our standing when they have paid up to £65 for a ticket. These mini screens, plus our 17 full size screens are now integral part of our communication and marketing campaign to all our patrons, whenever our doors are open, which is 7 days a weeks from 9am to 10-30pm. Gone are the days of unsightly posters and notices, we love our style and the ability to change any screens at the touch of a button".
Marlowe Theatre is on the UK Number One touring circuit, seats 1200 people, presenting productions such as the National Theatre's War Horse, Mamma Mia, Glyndebourne, Philharmonia Orchestra and The RSC.

Trial Verdicts
Explanation of Jury Decisions
In addition to not guilty and guilty, juries had the power to choose from several variations on these verdicts, which could have important consequences for the punishment of those convicted.

Introductory Reading
'The Jury', John Morgan (1861). An Assize court jury, hearing trials held at County Hall, Market Square, Aylesbury. © Buckinghamshire County Council.
In addition to the simple verdict of not guilty, information was sometimes provided on why the jury came to its conclusion. The range of circumstances cited include:
Directed by the Judge
Non Compos Mentis
No Prosecution Evidence
Fault in the Indictment
Prosecutor not Present
The defendant was accused of killing the victim, but the jury concluded the death was accidental, or "by misfortune". This verdict was often used when death was caused by the accidental discharge, or by a traffic accident. See also chance medley and manslaughter.
This was an acquittal verdict dictated by the trial judge, usually on the grounds that one of the parties had failed to prove the case involved a matter in law.
(Also termed insane, deranged, not of sound mind, imbecile, lunatic, fool, idiot, out of his senses.)
Defendants could argue in their defence that they were not responsible for the crime, owing to the fact that they were not of sound mind, and therefore could not be held responsible for their actions. In order for this argument to be accepted, the defendant had to have a total lack of reason and understanding, and be entirely unable to understand the difference between right and wrong. If this argument was accepted juries delivered the verdict of "non compos mentis".
Concern that people discharged as a result of this verdict would commit further offences, led to the passage of the "Act for the Safe Custody of Insane Persons Charged with Offences" in 1800, which specified that those acquitted should be kept in custody at his Majesty's pleasure. In the nineteenth century the standards applied in cases involving mental derangement became less rigorous. For example, it became acceptable to argue that even if a crime was rationally planned, the defendant might still be found not guilty if he was unable to understand right from wrong. In a small number of such trials medical testimony was provided.
A new category of guilty but insane was introduced in 1800, and allowed juries for the first time to find a defendant guilty who they nevertheless considered insane. See also unfit to plead.
This verdict was used in those cases where the prosecution failed to offer any evidence to support their case against the accused. See also Prosecutor not Present.
This verdict resulted in the defendant being acquitted because there was an inaccuracy in the way the indictment was written or the offence was charged.
The case could not proceed because the victim of the crime did not appear to testify against the defendant. See also No Prosecution Evidence.

The defendant was accused of a killing offence, but the jury concluded the killing occurred in self-defence. This verdict is sometimes expressed using the Latin phrase 'Se Defendendo'. This verdict was rarely used, jurors instead normally preferred to find the defendant part guilty with a verdict of chance medley or manslaughter.
Guilty but Insane
Guilty with Recommendation
Pleaded Guilty
This is a verdict created in 1800 following the passage of the "Act for the Safe Custody of Insane Persons Charged with Offences". It acknowledges that the defendant's actions were a product of their insanity, but unlike the non compos mentis verdict (which effectively acquitted defendants on the grounds of their insanity), it affirmed their guilt. In the process it created a new category of "criminal lunatic". According to the 1800 Act, those defendants found guilty but insane were to be kept in custody "until his Majesty's Pleasure shall be known". There is a significant increase in the use of this verdict from 1885.
In this instance the jury convicts the prisoner, but recommends that the convict should be treated with mercy. This verdict was used in cases where the offender was particularly young, or possessed of a good character, or where the crime was a first offence, or no violence was intended, or where the offender had a large family to support. More rarely, the jury recommended a specific punishment, such as whipping or transportation.
In addition to the simple verdict of guilty, evidence is sometimes provided that the defendant had in fact pleaded guilty. In these cases, no trial took place. In some instances defendants confessed to only part of the charge by pleading part guilty. In capital cases, where the convict might be sentenced to death, the court discouraged such pleas. Hearing the full circumstances of every case allowed judges to use their wide discretion in choosing an appropriate punishment. With the declining use of capital punishment from the 1820s, however, a guilty plea became more acceptable, indeed desirable. The court was dealing with a large number of cases, and this plea simply saved time.
Juries often found the defendant guilty of a reduced offence, such as theft of goods of a lower value. Such partial verdicts reduced the punishment convicts were likely to receive by allowing them to claim benefit of clergy (abolished in 1827). This was a very desirable outcome in a system in which, until the reforms of the 1820s, many people were charged with crimes punishable by death, while jurors and judges only wanted to see a limited number of people hanged. In many cases the reduced value of the goods was blatantly implausible, but the jury engaged in such "pious perjury" with broad judicial and public support in order to save lives.
On the search pages, these verdicts are all treated as subcategories of guilty verdicts.

Of Theft under 1 shilling
Pleaded Part Guilty
This verdict was originally used in murder cases where the killing did not involve premeditated malice (as in a sudden fight). It was used in preference to not guilty, however, because the killer was believed to be at least partially to blame. In the late seventeenth century it was used most frequently in cases of deaths caused by accidents (such as being run over by a cart or a gun going off unintentionally) in order to indicate that the defendant was not at fault. The verdict in these cases is also sometimes recorded as "acquitted". Other defendants in similar circumstances were found not guilty by virtue of accidental death. In the eighteenth century the verdict of Chance Medley was used to indicate that although the defendant was at fault, he or she did not have any evil intention. The verdict was, however, rarely used (and never after 1731), and in such circumstances those involved were more likely to be convicted of manslaughter. See also self-defence.
The jury could find the defendant guilty of a lesser offence to the one with which they were charged. Cases of burglary, housebreaking, shoplifting, and robbery, all of which carried a death sentence, were occasionally recorded as a simple theft; leaving the judge free to waive execution in favour of a lesser punishment.
A defendant charged with murder could be convicted of manslaughter if the jury felt that the killing was unlawful, but not premeditated. Deaths which resulted from fights, duels, the legitimate disciplining of servants and wives, and accidents often resulted in this verdict. However, some accidental deaths, and some deaths which occurred when the perpetrator was acting in self-defence, resulted in other verdicts. See chance medley, accidental death, and self-defence.
Until 1827, defendants found guilty of stealing goods worth 40 shillings or more from a dwelling house were subject to a mandatory sentence of death. By reducing the value of the goods below 40 shillings, juries could avoid this statutory penalty. In 1827, the threshold value was raised to 100 shillings and this verdict became redundant.

In 1827, as part of a series of Acts repealing the death penalty for various types of larceny, the minimum value of goods stolen from a dwelling house in order for the death penalty to be invoked was raised from 40 shillings to 100 shillings. By revaluing the goods stolen to a level below this threshold, juries could avoid imposing the death penalty. The last time this verdict was used was in 1834.
Until 1691 women convicted of stealing goods worth ten shillings or more were subject to a mandatory sentence of death (whereas men could claim benefit of clergy). By reducing the value of the goods below 10 shillings, juries could avoid imposing this penalty. A statute passed in 1691 allowed women to claim benefit of clergy on the same terms as men. This verdict has only been assigned to women convicted on a partial verdict of stealing goods worth less than 10 shillings before 1692.

Defendants convicted of shoplifting goods worth 5 shillings or more after 1699 were subject to a mandatory death sentence. By reducing the value of the goods below 5 shillings, juries could avoid this statutory penalty. This verdict became redundant when shoplifting ceased to be a capital offence in 1823.
This verdict reduced the charge against the convict to petty larceny, which meant that the defendant was punished by a fine, whipping, or, increasingly from 1718, by transportation. The elimination of the distinction between grand and petty larceny in 1827 rendered this verdict redundant.
In some cases defendants pleaded guilty to only part of the charge made against them. Partial pleas occurred most frequently in trials involving more than one offence (such as forging and uttering, and stealing and receiving). In a negotiation that amounted to plea bargaining, a partial confession was offered in hope of being found guilty of a lesser offence. As with Pleaded Guilty verdicts, these increase in the nineteenth century following the declining use of the death penalty.
In many cases, no verdict was given, or the verdict given was provisional, and the court chose to respite (postpone) its judgement. Occasionally, this was because a legal issue arose which needed to be debated by the senior judges at the Westminster Courts. In such cases, the jury ruled on the facts of the case, but left the judges to resolve the legal issues. Alternatively, the court could respite the judgement to await further information. In cases where special verdicts were returned the final judgement was deferred and the eventual verdict and punishment may have been reported in a subsequent edition of the Proceedings.
An Act of 1848 determined that such reserved judgements should be heard by the newly established Court for Crown Cases Reserved (later the Court of Criminal Appeal), which also offered the defendant the opportunity to claim that a legal error had been made during his or her trial.
Miscellaneous Verdicts
Jury Could Not Agree
Trial Postponed
Unfit to Plead
Other Miscellaneous
If unable to agree immediately, juries might retire to the jury room to deliberate. Until 1858 they were kept without fire, food or drink until a verdict was reached. The law's tactic of starving the jury into agreement meant that they rarely failed to come to a conclusion. After 1858 these verdicts became more common. In such cases, the jury was discharged and the defendant remanded in custody and retried at the next session.
A verdict used from 1849 for trials which were postponed until a later date for practical reasons, most commonly the illness of a defendant, juror or short-hand writer. Most such cases appear in later editions of the Proceedings.
A verdict used after 1822, and applied in those cases where a defendant was not fit to stand trial on the grounds of insanity (or other mental impairment). Defendants who were considered unfit to plead could be placed in "safe custody" at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
Other Miscellaneous Verdicts
This verdict is in its nature miscellaneous. It includes cases where: a defendant or jury member fell ill or died; the defendant was on bail and failed to appear; and where a jury was sworn to determine if a defendant was genuinely deaf and mute and hence unable to plead. If the jury believed the defendant was actually deaf and mute, they could return a verdict of "a visitation of God".
Special Note Concerning the Period 1790-92
Between 1790 and 1792 the Proceedings only include trials which resulted in guilty verdicts. This was because the City authorities feared that including other trials might lead readers might conclude that it was possible to commit crimes and get away with it. It was also feared that the detailed testimony recorded from trials where the defendant was found innocent might teach criminals techniques for avoiding conviction. These calculated omissions rendered the Proceedings much less appealing and useful to readers, and this practise was rapidly abandoned.

A federal judge took the unusual step of banning a university from suspending a student accused of sexual assault, based on the fact that he'd lose his athletic scholarship – and ability to pay for college – in the process.
By preventing "John Doe" from cross-examining his accuser at a "live proceeding," the University of Southern Mississippi likely violated Doe's procedural due process rights, U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett wrote in a memorandum opinion and order.
The allegations only go back to May, when "Jane Roe" told university police she was sexually assaulted two years earlier, "sometime" in February. A sexual-violence clinic associated with the university recommended she file a Title IX complaint.
Two months later, the Sexual Misconduct Investigative Team held a two-day "formal investigative hearing" – Judge Starrett uses scare quotes here – to separately interview Roe, Doe and six witnesses.
Not only was Doe not allowed to be present during anyone else's interview, but he wasn't allowed to submit questions for others. He was only allowed to see and comment on a "summary" of the interviews.
Doe was taking his final two classes before graduation when Roe accused him, and he fears that his credits won't transfer to another school.
His background makes clear he comes from a humble family. Doe is the youngest of 18 children "from the same mother" and can't graduate if he loses his athletic scholarship, which is paying for college, Starrett said.
Starrett took the unusual step of predicting how the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, whose decisions are binding on him, would rule in this case.
The 6th Circuit's recent ruling that public universities must allow cross-examination in Title IX cases – even if it means letting lawyers do it – "does an excellent job of explaining the unique aspects of this type of case where credibility is at issue and the consequences are grave if a party is found 'responsible,'" he said.
depicting the incidents" – not credibility – were the basis of the findings.
Starrett mentioned the dissent in Plummer but did not say whether he agreed with it, as did another federal judge in Mississippi. The dissent said hearings on sexual misconduct require a more "burdensome standard of review" because they are "quasi criminal," with "long-lasting" effects for accused students, and should use a higher evidence standard.
The judge said "contradictions abound" from the team's interview notes and testimony by Edward Sayre, director of the School of Social Science and Global Studies (whose role isn't specified).
It appears no one followed up to clarify, or at least there are no notes in that regard. Ms. [redacted] never stated that Jane Roe told her about the assault, as Jane Roe claimed. Yet, the panel concluded that Ms. [redacted] told Plaintiff about the assault during a car ride in Fall 2016.
The judge uses this confusion to explain why the university was obligated to provide live cross-examination, for the sake of both fairness to Doe and the truth.
A written rebuttal does not provide "the opportunity to assess the person's demeanor when asked certain questions and flesh out inconsistencies in a search for the truth," the judge continued, citing the uncertainty around the team's notes and their relevance to finding Doe not credible.
and could have affected the outcome of this case," Starrett said.
Doe faces a "significant" risk of wrongful harm to his reputation, education and employment "without a live proceeding" where he's present.


After Peter retired from Montana Wines in 2005 and we moved to Napier, we thought it would be a good time in our lives to undertake some new venture involving our interests in children and music. We wanted to combine Peter's passion for classical music and Pam's interest in children and education. We could see that many children from low income families might never have the opportunity to experience learning to play a musical instrument.
We were also strongly influenced by the success of Peter's NZSO initiative, where a group of musicians played annually in the Montana warehouse for the staff, whose response was always hugely enthusiastic.
We invited a small group of teachers and people interested in music to spend a weekend with us, and we worked out the aims (and name) of the Trust.
The teachers in the weekend group were enthusiastic about the benefits that have been proven to accrue with youth who become involved in such programmes – both their behavioural and general learning skills can be expected to improve.
One of this group works in South Auckland schools, and through this knew of Trevor Canute's tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to his school. The same group member knew of Emma Featherstone's music programme using wind and brass instruments, that she had introduced to schools in the Eastern Suburbs with outstanding success.
And so we began in 2006, with a class of Year 5 children at Papatoetoe West School, a large collection of wind instruments, and a wonderfully dynamic teacher, Heather Keys.
By the end of the year the group was sufficiently experienced to perform on a float in the Papatoetoe Santa Parade, playing in front of thousands of enthusiastic spectators.
2007 saw the beginning of a second class at Papatoetoe West, and the progression of the original class to become the "Intermediate Band". None of this could have eventuated without the support and encouragement of the school Principal, Trevor Canute and his staff.
In 2008 another beginner band was begun at Puhinui school, and we also enlisted a fantastic team of three string teachers led by Rachel Snelling to introduce a string group at Papatoetoe East Primary.
In 2009 another beginner group was introduced at Papatoetoe East Primary, and a second wind group at Puhinui, so there were now about 50 children learning string instruments and about 100 learning wind instruments through the Tironui Music Trust. All these children were performing in public regularly, in their own schools, in kindergartens and neighbouring schools, and even in public concerts and competitions with considerable success.
Our original plan was to have a 4-year programme, from Year 5-8, but because the three schools taking part at that time were all contributing schools rather than full primaries, this was not possible. Having watched the project grow gradually and successfully for 4 years, we felt it was time to approach the local Intermediate schools to discuss the way forward for our Year 6 graduates.
As a result, in 2010 our first Year 7 orchestra started at Papatoetoe Intermediate. The children were very excited to find that their music teachers from primary school were still going to be teaching them, and enthusiasm ran high amongst both teachers and students.

"We Will Deliver AKSUNGUR to Our Forces by Year End, with its Wide Range of Weapon Integration Options"
A Defence Turkey interview with Temel KOTİL, President and CEO of Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ) during the TEKNOFEST Istanbul Aviation, Space and Technology Festival, Turkey`s largest technology festival held on September 17-22, 2019, at Ataturk Airport.
Defence Turkey: As a start, could you please evaluate the TEKNOFEST Festival and TUSAS' participation in the event, which was held for the first-time last year and attracted more than 500,000 visitors?
Temel KOTİL: TEKNOFEST's brand value is increasing every year. It is Turkey's largest Technology, Aviation and Space Festival. Within the scope of the festival, many award-winning competitions were held, and the awards were presented to the winners by Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN, President of the Republic of Turkey. We, as Turkish Aerospace, received the best Patent Award in the field of patents.
Defence Turkey: For which product was this award received?
Temel KOTİL: We have developed a computer/software system for aircraft avionics. It can now be used in military projects, and later for commercial projects. We are here with many products; our National Combat Aircraft, GÖKBEY and Heavy Class Attack Helicopter and our Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ANKA and AKSUNGUR. For the time being, the firing tests of AKSUNGUR UAV have been conducted and we will deliver it to our Forces by the end of year with its wide range of weapon integration options.
Defence Turkey: How many AKSUNGUR MALE UAV prototypes are currently in-flight tests?
Temel KOTİL: There are two prototypes. The production activities for the third one is currently ongoing. At the moment we are performing live firing tests with these two flyable prototypes. We integrate them and conduct laser-guided or GPS-guided firing tests. With each passing day, we are proceeding from mock-up to the prototype stage and then to production stage.
Defence Turkey: During TEKNOFEST, you showcase many of your products. What is the status of these national products in the export market? As far as we know, negotiations for the ATAK Helicopter were occurring with Pakistan.
Temel KOTİL: Negotiations with Pakistan still continue. Turkey now produces its own engines. The Turkish Defense Industry improves it with every passing day. Therefore, we will be able to see that the national products in the portfolio of Turkish Aerospace are sold everywhere, very soon.
Defence Turkey: What about the National Combat Aircraft? It was unveiled at the Paris Air Show and now it is displayed at TEKNOFEST. What is the status of the activities? Is the schedule you declared in Paris still valid?
Temel KOTİL: Yes, it is still the same. It will be rolled out in 2023 and the maiden flight will be performed in 2025. Ground tests will take two years and then we'll see it in the sky in 2025. We'll deliver it in 2029, there's no change in the schedule.
Defence Turkey: How many prototypes will there be? Previously, a total of 7 prototypes were declared, 6 for flight and 1 for ground, but in Paris the figure was also mentioned to be 5?
Temel KOTİL: An increase in the number of prototypes is not that critical. For example, we increased the number of prototypes of GÖKBEY in order to deliver it at an earlier time. The important thing is to take it aloft.
Defence Turkey: Another issue in national aircraft development efforts is the availability of qualified human resources. After all, there is human labor behind this type of program. It is not always easy to find qualified individuals because Aviation is indeed the highest level of science.
Temel KOTİL: We don't have any difficulties in finding new graduates. We employ 1,000 engineers per year, and we prefer those with at least a 3.0 GPA. We're employing Turkey's qualified individuals and we are aware of it. So far, I have employed 2,500 engineers. The new graduates cannot directly start to work in production and the problem starts here. There is no problem in Turkey in finding staff; you can find them from every discipline, from electronics to aircraft, but these people don't have experience with "on-the-job training". The first 1,000 people we employed are about to complete their second year, and after five years they will be experienced engineers. So, the answer to your question is that Turkey acquires human resources from new graduates, but we have an experienced staff shortage since we have to complete and deliver the products in the meantime. For example, AKSUNGUR was completed in a very short time. Why? Because the center body was built on ANKA, and we will not sell it as more expensive than ANKA. It's easy to put something on it when you've done it before. Turkish Aerospace has spent many years on the ATAK helicopter. The Heavy Class Attack Helicopter is being developed very fast, as it was with GÖKBEY. Turkish Aerospace has a core staff, but it needs time to scale it. We are acquiring people from abroad who have experience in the development and manufacture of a Combat Aircraft, in other words supersonic aircraft, because there is no other way.
Defence Turkey: A handshake was made with the British company BAE Systems for providing technical support under the National Combat Aircraft Project, wasn't it?
Temel KOTİL: Don't take this as technical support, money talks here, there's a market. When you pay enough salary, you can employ the most qualified and experienced experts. For instance, there was a person from Florida, U.S. who was supporting us in GÖKBEY, an elderly person, but a master in helicopters, coming to us as a consultant. We sat down and had a chat. I said, "Thank you very much, you have come and are helping us at your seasoned age, and he said, "I thank you for hiring me at this age". What I mean here, they all have a market. We can bring people to Turkey that have in-depth knowhow, and especially those retired with expertise. There is no "impossible" in technology, but we need to be as bold as brass and daring, and we have shown this courage.
Defence Turkey: There was also an issue in the press in recent weeks about AKSUNGUR's jet-engine powered brother. What would you like to share with us on this project?
Temel KOTİL: Yes, we're trying to achieve supersonic flight right now. Now, our first goal in unmanned systems is to achieve supersonic speed. Instead of going supersonic with the National Combat Aircraft, we will go supersonic primarily with an unmanned system in a year. Activities for subsonic still continue, but we will achieve supersonic speed. We will produce HÜRJET to pave the way for the National Combat Aircraft. HÜRJET is also supersonic and will be able to reach Mach 1.4. It will make its maiden flight in 2022.
Defence Turkey: There was an agreement about that, on the engine for HÜRJET at the Paris Air Show, is that right?
Temel KOTİL: That's right, those activities are in progress. We are currently aiming to complete the subsystem procurement of HÜRJET. When the subsystem, the engine, etc., is completed, it means most of the work is almost done, and then the production stage will start. HÜRJET will make a surprise!
Defence Turkey: A preliminary protocol was made for HÜRJET with the Turkish Air Force Command. During the ADEX Fair, it was stated that the Azerbaijan Air & Air Defense Force Command was showing close interest in both HÜRKUŞ and HÜRJET.
Temel KOTİL: We started our marketing efforts for our indigenous products around the globe even when they were at the beginning of their design & development phase, but it takes time to achieve real sales. Our first customer is always Turkey, and this is actually a rule. Our primary focus is to produce these products better than their competitors in terms of procurement cost and performance, then the rest comes.
Defence Turkey: Would you like to convey any messages to our readers?
Temel KOTİL: As our President of the Republic of Turkey said, Turkey is self-sufficient in this regard. We hire new graduates and maybe we wait for three years, but we achieve in raising them to produce aircraft. We establish large laboratories in this field in Turkey, wind tunnels and facilities for lightning tests. We manage to solve challenges regarding both physical infrastructure and human infrastructure. After 10 years, Turkey will become a major player in the "aerospace" field and will be one of three or four countries excelling in this field


For some of these, we have participants prepare a small amount of water, just 2 or 3 ounces, with an alchemy mixed in, or a combination, to program with the frequencies, codes and energies we open up to when doing these group meditations. If no alchemy is available, then just good clean pure water will suffice, barely suffice. Please understand that the alchemy available here deepens all these experiences by orders of magnitude.
The recordings from January 8 through 29, 2015, all had to do with preparations to go to an inner planes temple or the actual visits, so for the White Fountain Temple you'd start your preparation with the bottom of this page with the January 8, 2015, call recording, which would culminate in the January 29 call. Keep your hands and feet inside the ride and have fun.
Thursday night, April 18 - Worshop Call - LISTEN - This was a repeat of Part 1 of the Workshop described below, on February 13. Be sure to download and utilize the Workshop Workbook you see linked there.
Thursday night, April 4 - Workshop Call - LISTEN - This was Part 2 of the Workshop described below, on February 13. This became a powerful night of lesson, discovery, discussion, and finally a meditation brimming with important tools.
Wednesday night, March 13 - Mastery Call - LISTEN - This was a chit-chat session, but is well worth listening to, mainly covering the topic of being free of any ideation of right and wrong, good and bad/evil, is one of the great liberations, and nobody, no seeker, will ever reach the highest levels attainable in a Earth human vessel while hanging onto those perceptions. There was also a very effective technique given for self-healing.
Wednesday night, February 13 - Workshop Call - LISTEN - Workshop Workbook - In this workshop you will learn a proven practice that taps into the resources of your subconscious mind to help you expand your bandwidth in ways that: 1) Move you out of your comfort zone; 2) Generate new patterns that sustain your motivation and willpower, 3) Overcome your drive to stay the same, 4) Establish congruence, and a clear line of communication between your conscious and subconscious mind. Easy-to-follow steps requiring only a few minutes every day to experience Compounding Small Changes that snowball into big changes.
Thursday day March 29, 2018 LISTEN PURAMYD WORKSHOP Call. This call was all about using your Puramyd for healing purposes.
Thursday Call January 18, 2018 LISTEN Thursday night guided group meditation.
Thursday Call January 11, 2018 LISTEN This call is part of our Thursday night series and is a brief overview of the Qigong life force building exercise of the 6 healing sounds.
Thursday Call January 4, 2018 LISTEN This call is part of our Thursday night meditation series. This is a guided meditation for body bliss and relaxation.
Thursday Call June 8th, 2017 LISTEN This call is part of our Thursday night meditation series where we get together with our alchemical tools and beautiful hearts and relax together for ultimate vibratory experience and to helping balance earth and each other. We did a guided meditation that had a simple peace inducing theme of sanctuary and just being in quiet experiential stillness and serenity.
Monday Call June 5, 2017 LISTEN This call was our Self Mastery series exploring the Don Miguel Ruiz work the Four Agreement Companion book And The Simple Truth by Jason Davis. We discussed any insights into chapter 1 and we also were able to place the homework for the chapter one in the forum for those who wish to do the exercises but have no access to the book itself.
Thursday Call May 25, 2017 Listen This call we had some question and answers going and then we had a spectacular meditation that allowed us to get into group coherence with our alchemical tools. We learned about a secret spot on the body and a new mantra to go with that focal point. Very healing and activating at the same time.
Monday Call May 22nd, 2017 Listen This call is our second Self Mastery class and here we explored our experience with the materials with The Simple Truth by JD Aliix and in the first chapter of The Four Agreements Companion Guide by Don Miguel Ruiz and some practical applications with those exercises.
Thursday Call May 18th, 2017 Listen This call is a guided meditation that is tantra heart centered and uses the power of group dynamic and using the breath to breath in pain and transform it. It produces fountains of peace, healing and love for the participants and those in their geographical zones. Profound heart opening practice.
Thursday Call- May 11, 2017- Listen - This call was to kick off the newly finished The Simple Truth book by gathering in our spectacular meditation virtual space for some high vibrations and to test out a new and exciting meditation exploring the central sun within. Deeply powerful group experience.
Monday Call -May 8, 2017- Listen - This conference call is the first of a series of calls for Self-Mastery. Led by our member Nancy Lovell she gives an introduction and overview of the goals of this group journey and materials we shall be studying for this class to help support one's self-mastery training.
Thursday Call- April 27, 2017 -Listen - This conference meditation call is a three part meditation that is a Qi Gong exercise in building life force and vitality in the kidneys. Rejuvenating and deeply relaxing.
Thursday Call - November 3, 2016 - Listen - This was about the simplicity of being, about how things like the myth of Ascension drives seekers towards unattainable goals, and yet because of that myth seekers find what they need. It was a fun and lively discussion. Then we went into some relaxation exercises, and then through a powerful manifestation technique, which is actually found in one of the Tales of Mastery, "The Crystal Skull," which can all be found under the Mastery tab above.
Thursday Call - June 23, 2016 - Listen - This gathering was about deep healing and clearing on our side of the veil, the physical, and about generating a large "packet" of information for higher people to use however they see fit. Although Gspace might be changed, the color used will still be associated with this call, and so if you listen to it you'll still receive the full benefit of the healing part of it.
Thursday Call - May 5, 2016 - Listen - This call included an explanation on the optimal use of I Zero Alchemies. We also touched on the impact of 2016, and then went to this page, with a picture of Mercury, to prepare for the Mercury Transit of the Sun taking place on Monday, May 9, 2016, from 7 in the morning to after 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time.
Xupra Call - March 3, 2016 - Listen / Listen - (this was accidentally recorded in two parts). This call is a very high energy meeting that covers a few practical issues, and then includes a reading describing The Simple Truth, which itself is going to be a third focus of Mastery available through this Website, the simplest way to Truth of them all.
Xupra Call - January 14, 2016 - Listen - This call set down a more focused program involving Xupra, the 5th density planet we actually visit with our Awareness Bilocation System (training for which is free). Xupra, the planet's intelligence, is orchestrating much of what is happening to the small group of us visiting it, but this call carries codes and contains a reading by Mary of how the Xupra part of the Superbeings works.
Roundtable Call - December 10, 2015 - Listen - This involved touching on the discussion topic, Catastrophobia, and then went on with a tutorial for Transcendental Meditation, which is deep, restorative, clearing, and is probably the most healthful thing you can do for yourself, and it only takes 15 minutes a day. It's the easiest meditation there is, too. Then we got into Sunspace, with Sound, together, and communed in meditative silence for 15 minutes.
Roundtable Call - December 3, 2015 - Listen - We covered TSB business, which is not recorded, and then went for a visit to the White Fountain Temple, which is this recording, and it was absolutely profoundly beautiful, on a level of Love, as ecstasy, that was just so...so...words utterly fail.
Roundtable Call - November 12, 2015 - Listen - Right through this date some truly powerful stuff was coming through the Merlin set of processes, which resulted in metals we only discuss privately, and we simply got into a circle of 58 people, got quiet, and I flowed from the higher spheres some way powerful energy into the hub that connects our circle.
Roundtable Call - November 5, 2015 - Listen - This one is a very powerful guided visualization/meditation done by Mary. We had a surprising number of people contact us to let us know they'd never felt so much Love, with a capital L. A 15 pound rose quartz was used for the focal point.
Roundtable Call - October 29, 2015 - Listen - This call began with a healing ceremony, which included getting into a relaxed and receptive mode through breathing and guided relaxation, and then the unity prayer was invoked for the healing. The recording glitched and so the second half of the unity prayer is actually where the recording starts. So to use this one, just get quiet, open, relaxed, receptive, and do the unity prayer yourself. You can find it online as "mother earth father sky" prayer. From there, the rest of the recording should be in sync for you. We then went in our flying astral pyramid out to Europa, Jupiter's Moon, astrally cleansed in Europa's oceans, and then went to a bubble we left out there nearly a year ago, filled it with pillows, and communed with Jupiter, the teacher, and the teachers that live in and on Jupiter.
Roundtable Call - October 23, 2015 - Listen - This call was a counted and measured breathing meditation involving the Sun, one of the quite powerful techniques for vitality, electroplasmic light gathering and distribution, clarifying, tonifying the brain and its synaptics, pineal interaction, cellular oxygenation...and the list goes on.
Roundtable Call - October 8, 2015 - Listen - This call was a semi-guided meditation for connecting with the feeling center to the larger mind.
Roundtable Call - September 24, 2015 - Listen - This call was about clarifying a post under the Something Huge This Way Comes discussion thread, and in that clarification was some excellent information about the Truth of things, but the recording started in the middle of some of that discussion, which once again is high level understandings. Even if the Something Huge thread is long gone, there's still good information in there. Then we sat in silent communion for ten minutes, which you can join in with even after the event, and then we had a laugh fest, which is pretty funny.
Roundtable Call - September 17, 2015 - Listen - This call was about healing, which itself is really about purification. But we invoked quite a host of beings using techniques, and turned the group on to secrets of the body that are not well known and very seldom used. This one really is about technique, and being healed through the act of giving, but in giving technique, the action is still catalyzed.
Roundtable Call - September 10, 2015 - Listen - This call was just plain fun, but way powerful too. The first thing that was addressed was to dispel the new age myth that we're "returning to Source." Truth is you can't be both completely awake and buy into that one. Then there was much discussion on deep topics, with attempts at explanation from a truly awakened perspective. Then an exercise in mastery, that mastery is nothing more than mastery of self/mind, that mastery of one's own mind is mastery of THE mind. Then a secret tool and method was given.
Roundtable Call - August 20, 2015 - LIsten - This call started out as a Q & A for all levels of the Awareness Bilocation System Training, and was very good for that. It then evolved into a philosophical discussion on a very high level with regard to the true nature of reality, and understanding that on a deep level is the only path to any sort of mastery.
Roundtable Call - August 13, 2015 - LIsten - This call was a bit about business involving how to handle our group gathering for the September 28, 2015 Total Lunar Eclipse, which lasted only a few minutes. Because in the last few days (today is August 13, 2015) a new energy (for lack of a better word) is emerging from within the DNA of this 3rd density plane itself. So part of the purpose of this call was to program some water or alchemy to invite into your own DNA an adjustment, if you will, that will help to be more attuned to this outcoming (meaning from within the core of Creation) energy/code/frequency/invisible substance and will culminate very powerfully on the September 28, 2015 eclipse. There was a Q & A chitchat thereafter.
Roundtable Call - July 30, 2015 - LIsten - This one was all about healing. It can be used any time for that purpose by following its instructions. It's very powerful. Only the first 20 minutes or so are the actual process and healing command. The recording function of Uberconference glitched and recorded beyond the time I stopped it, so it goes on for another 3.5 hours with a group of us just yammering away, but there is some very good info in there from a conversational questions and answers.
Roundtable Call - July 23, 2015 - Listen - This was the first of what we're calling the Roundtables, since Merlin is behind the latest alchemy, and blossoming from within so many of us are those memories, included within the memories of ourselves to superhuman things in other ages.
March 26, 2015 - Listen- This became a call to help calm and balance various physical and subtle systems, a cause a few upgrades, such as to the solar plex and third-eye, a chakra tuneup, a purging of unneeded energetic buildup, all in preparation to optimize the April 4, 2015 Total Lunar "Bloodmoon" Eclipse. But even if you're listening to this afterwards, this is a great recording for general tuneups, balancing, and purging unneeded stuff.
March 12, 2015 - Listen - Something glitched with the recording, so it starts a few minutes into it. If you open Sunspace and listen to the recording, especially the last part of it, you'll get the goods. This was about getting prepared for next week's Equinox, Total Solar Eclipse, Lunar Perigee and New Moon all taking place in a 15 hour period starting next Thursday, March 19th. This is huge stuff, gang.
February 26, 2015 - Listen - We established a space, created electroplasmic astral bodies for everyone, came together in a very high frequency space, placed ourselves on a slowly rotating wheel, and went about a visualized meditation to deepen contact with our True Selves.
February 12, 2015 - Listen - We visited Mars, the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which is the remains of a destroyed planet, did fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn, briefly visiting our friends there, and then headed out of the Solar System for a very powerful tour of the Great Nebula in Orion, which is the only other naked eye nebula visible from Earth (the other being the nebulous arms of Andromeda Galaxy, our next closest galaxy).
January 29, 2015 - Listen - This is the second visit to the White Fountain Temple. This was a beautiful, powerful, centering, humbling experience. We are now all carriers of an archetypal frequency and understanding that we are the Blue Pearl, and we can share this essence into the world. The Lady of the White Fountain brought some of this through for us during the call.
January 22, 2015 - Listen - This is the first visit to the White Fountain Temple. First off, use the two recordings below for preparation. Also, make yourself a little alchemy beforehand, and remember to drink it sometime afterwards, which I forgot to include in the "experience" itself. We will also be visiting this inner planes Temple next Thursday night.
January 15, 2015 - Listen - This call was the second preparation for our visit to the White Fountain Temple, to take place on January 22, 2015, in our weekly Supercall.
January 8, 2015 - Listen - This call was a preparation for a visit to the White Fountain Temple, among a multitude of other purposes for our visit, planned for January 15. We voyaged first to a moon of Saturn, called Enceladus, which is covered with geysers from fissures in the crust. We then rose up through the rings and parked our Solar Barque to be in communion with the beings who use Saturn as a headquarters for Operation Earth, you could say. This was a deeply powerful group voyage, and you can join in at any time. Before starting, make a concoction of good pure water and any combination of alchemy you are "instructed" to. If you have no alchemy, use water. You will consume this concoction just before diving in for the deeper communion.
January 1, 2015 - Listen - There were 57 of us in this call, so our numbers are growing! We created a GORGEOUS pewter and matte pyramid in a shadowed space where diamond filigree of many colors formed symbols, all of which are particular to the experiencer. This entire motif flows stunningly powerful, yet subtle, energies - for healing, upgrades, integrations...whatever you need, actually. This one is a perfect way to find out how effortless this work is, especially when you keep your intent out of it and let the supraconscious mind do what needs doing.
December 12, 2014 - Listen - We took an astral-level trip to the Sun on our famous Solar Barque, where we had communion with a civilization living within it, obviously on another density level. It was beautiful, just ask anyone that was there.
October 28, 2014 - Listen - This was the second radio show on Unbounded Potential. This one finished the topic on the Holy Grail, the Sun Kings, how it relates to alchemy, etc.
October 1, 2014 - Listen - This was the first radio show on Unbounded Potential with Karen and Salma. This is the one that brought many of our family to us. Topic was the beginning of what the Holy Grail REALLY is, how that relates to the Sun, etc.

Last Friday, over a dozen Buffalo office employees and their spouses volunteered at Oishei Children's Hospital for Move Day. The vast majority of our volunteers were project team members who worked on various aspects of the building. CannonDesign was the engineer of record and provided cost estimating, MEP and telecommunications engineering in addition to lighting design services for the project.
Local news outlets reported the move was an overwhelming success.
As the engineers of record on the Oishei Children's Hospital, the team capitalized on its new location in the downtown medical campus and location to Buffalo General Hospital and sought innovative solutions to share mechanical systems and services to keep costs low and avoid duplication. The team tapped into the existing central plant for electrical, emergency generator backup, chilled water for cooling, and steam boilers for heating. They also were able to incorporate the existing loading dock and main kitchen at Buffalo General by including an interconnecting tunnel under Ellicott Street and a two-level bridge. By sharing these systems and services, the team not only reduced costs, but also increased the available square footage of the building footprint.
You could feel in the team meetings that we were all part of a larger purpose. We all rallied behind the shared goal of making this new hospital for the women and children of Buffalo a great success.
We were proud to be part of the 700-person volunteer team to ensure a smooth transition for patients and families. Beginning at 5am and ending at 9:30pm, each CannonDesign team covered a five-hour shift. We were assigned to the food service area, which provided all of the food and beverages for volunteers, families and staff for Move Day. Many of us found our niche at the coffee station, which, to no one's surprise, was very busy for a hospital.
Thanks to everyone who made a difference that day!

Q: Github Actions badge.svg custom message In my README.md I want to see automated tests results, e.g. something like:
[TestJob: failing] [TestJob Stats: 40 passed, 1 failed, 10 skipped, took 126 sec.]
There are existing workflows that can do this, e.g. https://github.com/marketplace/actions/dynamic-badges, BUT I'm on private enterprise repo, gist is disabled, and any content is not publicly visible, and requires token.
I figured I have two options.
Option1 - update README.md via e.g. bash script after execution, as part of the GitHub Action job.
Option2 - Find a way to customize the default badge.svg message.
Before I jump into spending time figuring out how to do option1, I want to ask - is there way to somehow relay / alternate the result text of the default badge.svg, currently it simply states "failing" passing" or "no status".

Robbie Williams: It's Been 18 Years Since My Last Drink
By: Jbeattey
Category: Recovery Stories
"I'm addicted to an awful lot of things. I have to tend to that stuff and if I don't tend to that stuff I get in trouble."
Original Source: thefix.com
British pop star Robbie Williams was a veteran of the boy band Take That, which had six number one singles and three number one albums before he launched a successful solo career in 1997 at the age of 21. But today Williams says getting sober is one of his greatest achievements.
As Williams told The Sun newspaper, "I haven't had a drink for 18 years and I'm an alcoholic. I like booze. That's the one that sort of stayed with me going to meetings, going to rehab, getting this information. It's miraculous because I'm drawn to getting fucked up… whatever the level is. It's like, 'OK take this, do that, drink this and off we go.' And for 18 years I've managed. Put 18 years' worth of days together since my last drink. The truth is for most of my adult life I've mainly been sober."
He also told The Sun, "I can be addicted to anything. At the moment I'm addicted to a game called 'Gummy Blocks.' I'm addicted to the internet, I'm addicted to an awful lot of things. I have to tend to that stuff and if I don't tend to that stuff I get in trouble."
In 2012, Williams told the Irish Examiner, "I regret the fact I was 19 when I realized I was out of control." He wished his partying could have gone on longer before he cleaned up his act. "I regret the fact that I wasn't 29 or 30 when it happened and I'd splodged my way around the world in some sort of alcoholic drug stupor. I spent most of my 20s sober."
This isn't to say that Williams didn't indulge in hard drugs after giving up the sauce. He openly admitted to relapsing in his twenties and thirties before meeting Ayda Field, the woman who eventually became his wife and the mother of his children.
When a reporter for Independent asked when was the last time he had anything like cocaine or ecstasy, Williams responded, "There was a slight relapse but I won't place the time in people's heads. But it was over a decade ago." (Williams also recalled reaching out to Elton John for help after going on a bender.)
He even confessed to being on mushrooms at Bono's house a long time ago. "The great and good of the world were there and I just felt like a fish out of water. Primarily because I was on magic mushrooms! I am wandering around his house and I stop and I look, and I realize Bono has purchased the most beautiful painting that has ever existed… I said to him, 'Bono, this is the most beautiful painting that I have ever, ever seen.' And Bono said to me: 'Robbie, that's the window.'"

Engineers at DNS Made Easy are revamping and upgrading West Coast US facilities throughout September to maximize resolution speeds and add extra layers of redundancy to prepare for upcoming holiday season. As of this week Los Angeles, San Jose, and Seattle have undergone upgrades with more locations to follow in the coming weeks.
The ecommerce nightmare we all know as the holiday season is rapidly approaching. As the days tick away, companies dependent on ecommerce are seeking out the most secure and reliable providers for all their online needs. The holiday season is notorious for taking down some of the largest and most secure websites either from DDoS attacks or just out of pure volume of customers trying to access their sites. This is because many companies are too busy focusing on their front end concerns and they forget about the backbone of their website, DNS services. DNS Made Easy is bulking up for the season, adding even more layers of security to our Points of Presence (PoP) on the West Coast.
"Uptime and reliability should be a guarantee, not a concern," says President of DNS Made Easy Steven Job. As part of their continued effort to maintain their 13 year 100% uptime record, Job and his team of engineers are increasing security and bandwidth at West Coast PoP's. Beginning at the Los Angeles facility in August, DNS Made Easy engineers installed additional bandwidth and server capacity to increase network speeds and security. Upgrades went smoothly and prompted the team to begin similar upgrades to the rest of the West Coast PoP's at their San Jose and Seattle locations which were completed last week. Facilities at Singapore and Amsterdam will follow suit in the coming weeks.
While the holiday season may seem far away, there is always the constant threat of DDoS particularly targeting US name servers. According to a recent report, DDoS attacks are growing with the majority of attacks targeting the United States and originating from China. Now more than ever, West Coast name servers need to be running at peak speeds and be able to handle massive loads in the event of an attack. The best way to prepare is to seek out an outsourced DNS provider who will provide users with the reliability and security only a managed DNS service can guarantee.
DNS Made Easy is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, and is a world leader in providing global IP Anycast+ enterprise DNS services. DNS Made Easy implemented the industry's first triple independent Anycast cloud architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy. Originally launched in 2002, DNS Made Easy's services have grown to manage hundreds of thousands of customer domains receiving more than 15 billion queries per day. Today, DNS Made Easy builds on a proud history of uptime and is the preferred DNS hosting choice for most major brands, especially companies that compare price and performance of enterprise IP Anycast alternatives.

OSU receives $2.6 million grant to study regenerative agriculture
Oklahoma State University researchers are working on a five-year project funded by the USDA Institute of Food and Agriculture, focusing on regenerative agriculture for crops such as cotton. (Photo by Todd Johnson, OSU Agricultural Communications Services)
Media Contact: Brian Brus | Agricultural Communications Services | 405-744-6792 | bbrus@okstate.edu
Oklahoma State University has received more than $2.6 million to research ways to improve agricultural production while reducing environmental impacts, said Kevin Wagner, director of the Oklahoma Water Resources Center at OSU.
It will require a holistic approach, Wagner said. Climate, livestock grazing, crop rotation, hydrology, regional economics and more – the systems in regenerative agriculture are just too large, complex and intertwined for a simple solution.
To that end, OSU researchers will work closely with Texas A&M AgriLife Research at Texas A&M University and other universities in the region on a five-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture. OSU will receive more than $2.6 million of the $10 million competitive grant.
"Regenerative agriculture is really a hot topic right now across much of the country," said Wagner, the project's principal investigator at OSU. "Our goal is to find ways to not only sustain production but also improve the land and other resources at the same time."
Most research on regenerative agriculture has typically occurred in regions of the U.S. with 40 to 50 inches of rain annually, a factor that significantly affects research outcomes. Less study has been focused on areas like southwest Oklahoma and the Oklahoma-Texas panhandles, which have more variable, arid conditions and wholly different challenges in managing livestock and crops, cotton in particular.
Although the scope of work under the grant is expansive with several multi-year components, Wagner said some aspects will benefit producers right away. For example, Jason Warren, OSU Extension soil and water conservation specialist, has plans for a soil stewardship education program similar to the structure of the popular Master Irrigator Program for farmers, and a curriculum will be adapted for regional 4-H Youth Development summer programs as well.
Among his efforts, Wagner will monitor the quantity and quality of runoff water from fields where regenerative practices have been implemented, lead the modeling team and assist with stakeholder engagement and outreach. In addition to Wagner and Warren, there are several other key OSU researchers whose work will overlap in many areas. A sample of those efforts include:
Seth Byrd, OSU Extension specialist, cotton agronomy – assess practices in continuous cotton production systems to achieve agricultural intensification, greater profitability and improved climate resiliency.
Andrea Jilling, OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences associate professor, environmental soil chemistry – collaborate on an asynchronous, online transdisciplinary problem-based course entitled, Regenerative Agriculture in Semi-arid Ecosystems, which will be integrated into undergraduate and graduate courses at OSU.
Alex Rocateli, OSU Extension specialist, forage systems – develop forage systems and implement demonstrations in producer and experimental station fields, as well as assist with outreach and Extension programs.
Sumit Sharma, OSU Extension specialist, irrigation management – establish cover crop experiments at the Oklahoma Panhandle Research and Extension Center in Goodwell, Oklahoma.
Many members of the team also will be involved in arranging regional on-farm field days and large, multi-state conferences hosted in Texas and Oklahoma for disseminating research results.
Additionally, Ali Mirchi, assistant professor in the OSU Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, will use data collected by the research team to develop models to evaluate the watershed scale effects of regenerative practices. The Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model will be used to predict effects of management decisions on soil loss, water quality and crop yields at the field scale.
"With the field data collected, we'll be able to develop models so that in a computer environment we can evaluate a large number of scenarios in a time-efficient, cost-effective way to look at impacts on soil health and hydrology-related processes," Mirchi said. "Although you might want to try everything in the real world, it can be very expensive and take a very, very long time with a lot of manpower.
"It's significant that we'll have colleagues in the field collecting data on various fronts and working directly with producers and other stakeholders."
Wagner said carbon sequestration will also be a factor to consider, or how regenerative practices help improve the soil's ability to hold moisture and help Oklahoma reduce its carbon footprint, leading to a more resilient ecosystem. Over time, those changes also may lead to higher levels of agricultural intensification and greater profitability.
"It's one of the aspects that attracted me to this project, because I've long been interested in soil health and how it impacts water resources at a watershed or regional scale. Most prior research has focused on the benefits at the field scale, but we need to take a wider view," Wagner said.
"With better ground cover and soil management, we hope to confirm with this research that there will be less water running off and that the runoff will be cleaner. In particular, we'll be evaluating integrating cover crops and grazing of those cover crops into cotton production systems and determining how that benefits soils, water and production."
The OSU project encompasses short-term, medium-term and long-term goals over the next five years. However, Wagner and Mirchi said the data produced under the NIFA grant will likely yield more research opportunities, as well as additional benefits to Oklahoma and similar areas around the world.
The grant is part of the USDA's recent investment of more than $146 million in sustainable agricultural research projects aimed at improving a robust, resilient, climate-smart food and agricultural system. NIFA's Sustainable Agricultural Systems program focuses on a broad base of needed research solutions, ranging from addressing labor challenges and promoting land stewardship to correcting climate change impacts in agriculture and critical needs in food and nutrition.
"USDA is tackling urgent challenges facing American agriculture and communities across our nation," Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said. "Critical issues like food insecurity, drought resilience and response, animal disease prevention and market disruption require investments to help meet these challenges. This is the time for agriculture, forestry and rural communities to act. Together, we can lead the way with investments in science and research and climate-smart solutions that feed and nourish families, improve the profitability and resilience of producers, improve forest health, while creating new income opportunities and building wealth that stays in rural communities."

Located off Smithtown Bay, about three miles south of Crane Neck Point, the Porpoise Channel is an eight-mile journey from Port Jefferson to the east, and a 15-mile journey from Huntington Bay to the west. With five marine facilities and a shallow, but easily traveled channel, the Porpoise River is a popular stopover for exploration and relaxation among many cruisers. Many Long Island boaters use it as a mid-journey stopover when transiting the north shore of Long Island.
Navigating the Water:
Use NOAA Chart 12364.
The Porpoise Channel is approached from the north via Smithtown Bay off Long Island Sound. Flashing green buoy "1" starts the approach into the channel, and is followed by flashing green buoy "3," flashing green buoy "5," flashing green buoy "7," flashing green buoy "9," and then flashing green buoy "11" at the channel's mouth. The approach channel does have some depths of two feet charted, but most boats with drafts of less than four feet can successfully navigate the well-marked passage.
Inside the inlet, the channel breaks off to the west with a long line of well-placed flashing buoys that lead to two marinas - one of which will accept transients. The southern portion of the Porpoise Channel, which breaks off the main channel at flashing green "1," has three more marinas, and one of those will accommodate transient guests.

Contrasting Ads in FL-25
Contrasting ads in FL-25.
First, Joe Garcia again lampoons incumbent Mario Diaz-Balart:
Next, Mario Diaz-Balart trowels on the innuendo, suggesting that Garcia somehow has a connection to … Enron (!):
Both ads strike me as flawed, but in different ways. Garcia's ad has a very weak and silly start. Its point risks getting lost on the split screen. And it's high risk: ridicule can backfire…. Although it's interesting that the politically engaged Cuban-American I sat next to on the plane the other day who said he thought Joe's ads were too much had a few minutes earlier (unconsciously) adopted the very phrase in Joe's first and most effective effort, "one-trick pony".
The production values on the Diaz-Ballart ad are better, as you'd expect given his is designed for TV while the Garcia ad is a web-only quickie. But it seems to me that the ad has two more serious problems. First, the claim it makes is pretty silly, and can only work with voters who know nothing about the candidate. It's too late for that group to be sizeable, although maybe it includes a good chunk of the undecided. Second, when the ad says "get rid of Enron Joe" it makes it sound like he's the incumbent. Maybe that's supposed to be a subtle hope that voters will think he is and vote to throw the rascal out — but to anyone who knows the score, and most voters do, this will look weak.
And, indeed, Channel 10 totally debunked Mario Diaz-Balart's ad:
As Garcia himself said in a recent email blast:
While serving on the Public Service Commission I helped usher-in the biggest utility rate cut in Florida history, which saved Floridians $1 Billion and forced FP&L to share excessive profits with consumers.
Diaz-Balart is scared of my record of fighting for consumers so he is trying to lie his way to re-election. …
One can see why Mario is run away from his record. If I had been in Congress for six years and only passed one bill, while giving myself five pay raises, and voting against healthcare for children, services for our returning veterans and giving oil companies billions in tax breaks, I would be doing the same.

Golden Tigers golf to triumph
Published 9:30 am Wednesday, March 23, 2016
The Russellville boys golf team beat Haleyville, Tharptown and Phil Campbell at Twin Pines golf course during a recent match-up.
Haleyville was the only school present that had enough players to meet team requirements. Russellville's team score was 142, while Haleyville's team score was 184. Russellville was led to victory by Eli Hodges, who shot a 36; Joshua Seal, who shot a 34; and Tristan Tubb, who shot a 34 – winning over all opponents from Tharptown and Phil Campbell as well as Haleyville.
The Russellville boys' golf team also played March 14 against Lawrence County at Twin Pines golf course. The top five averaged a score of 150, being led by Tubb, who shot a 35, and Hodges, who shot a 37. The Lawrence County boys' golf team averaged a score of 208, falling short to the Golden Tigers.
The bottom five Russellville boys' golf team players averaged a score of 188 at the tournament, but Lawrence County only had six players, meaning the bottom five from Russellville didn't have a team to compete against.
The Russellville boys' golf team will be play tomorrow in the Trojan Invitational at Hampton Cove on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.
The Russellville girls golf team played against Lawrence County as well March 14. Russellville had some tough competition to overcome, and the Lady Golden Tigers took on the challenge. Russellville ended up with the final score of 142 to Lawrence County's 176 for a Golden Tiger win. The girs also played in the Fairview Invitational March 17 but came up short against their competition.
The girls' golf team will be playing against James Clemens March 23.


I need to set up a NPS server on my Windows 2008 Server to act as a Radius authenticator to a cluster of Cisco AP541N access points.
The role to install is Network Policy and Access Services, the service is Network Policy Server.
Once it is installed, right-click on NPS (local) and select Register Server In Active Directory.
Repeat this set up for each AP in the cluster.
You shouldn't need any other values.
I added a second Network Access policy that permits access to computers that are members of a particular group.
I then changed the Security Tab -> Advanced Settings -> Specifiy Authentication Mode to Computer authentication.
Finally a co-worker created a GPO that pushes out a pre-defined SSID network definition with the settings above to all domain member computers.
Now all domain laptops automatically connect to the wireless.
Non-domain member computers can still join as long as the Specify Authentication Mode is set to User authentication.
Configuring tablets, phones, and non-Windows computers is left as an exercise for the reader.

How do you design a whisky label that is authentically Indian?
You go to the roots (and jungles) of India.
In the Indian market, whisky accounts for 60% of 'Indian-Made-Foreign-Liquor', a bulk of which is not made from malted grains, but made from molasses and is very thick and sweet.
Kamet, the new Indian single malt whisky celebrates its provenance. While it's inspired by Mount Kamet in Uttarakhand, one of the highest peaks in the country, Kamet draws on local motifs and characters such as the Indian parrot, an important part of the culture in the villages surrounding the distillery near Kurukshetra. Kamet whisky is made using the famous six row barley, indigenous to India sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas, irrigated by melting glacier water.
SERVICES LABEL DESIGN
CLIENT PEAK SPIRITS
SECTOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
A premium Indian Single Malt to be proud of on a world stage.
The brief was to design a label, which would reflect Indian elegance at a glance.
A parrot also has pride of place on the label. The Indian parrot from our mythology and popular folklore where the parrot is revered as a messenger, a fortune teller, an important part of the culture in the villages surrounding the distillery near Kurukshetra.
The idea with the parrot was extended the product experience beyond the unique flavour profile, also giving a cultural experience to the drinker.
The use of Devanagari script with the Latin script in the logo unit reinforced the roots of India.

Using the local six-row barley, the whisky is distilled in copper pot stills and matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon American Oak, ex-wine French Oak and ex-Sherry casks.
This is not a label. It's a story. It's a story of an ancient mountain that time had forgotten, nestled in the Himalayas. It's a story of a battleground where victories were won. It's a story of love, romance, of six row barley and of whispers blowing in the wind. A story told by a parrot, our traditional messenger. Open the bottle, and you'll find yourself in the thick of the tale.

MA & PA Community Greenway Feasibility Study
The Report is dated December 2010.
The MA and PA Community Greenway Feasibility Study explores the potential of converting approximately 12.4 miles of the former Maryland & Pennsylvania railroad corridor into a recreational trail in seven York County communities. The MA and PA Community Greenway study corridor runs north to south from Mount Rose Avenue in Spring Garden Township to the northern boundary of Felton Borough. The corridor passes through Spring Garden, York, Windsor and Chanceford Townships and the Boroughs of Yoe, Red Lion, and Dallastown. The MA & PA Railroad was a narrow gauge line stretching 77.2 miles from York, Pennsylvania at the northern end to Baltimore, Maryland at the southern end. The railroad tracks in the study area were dismantled between 1986 and 1987.
This study explored the feasibility of converting the former abandoned railroad corridor into a recreation trail. Recent initiatives to develop two recreation trail segments (the Red Lion Mile and Mill Creek Preserve) along the corridor have been successful, and the study explored the legal, physical, and operational feasibility of extending the trail for the full 12.4 mile length.

Recreation Study Report
The report is dated 2015.
The York Township Comprehensive Recreation, Parks & Greenways Plan creates a vision for the future, not merely a tune-up for what exists today. It defines the Township's action plan for parks, greenways, trails, and recreation in the 21st century. By developing a strategic approach, York Township is establishing an orderly framework for growing its parks and recreation system in a strategic fashion. Limited resources, a growing population, and increasing demands on parks and recreation combine to show that a broad timeframe for plan implementation is essential. Commitment, time, and investment from public and private partners are essential in order to achieve the kind of community people want York Township to be.
Plan Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the plan was to develop a document that guides park and recreation activities in York Township with the recognition that parks and open space add to the quality of life of a municipality and attracts residents, businesses, and economic vitality to a community. The plan should provide direction and initiatives on protecting open space, creating connections through greenways and trails and improving recreation and parks.:

Like many organisations, TDK approached television as a crucial mechanism for communicating with the marketplace. We plan to collect every TDK commercial transmitted in Britain. We're not going to pass any judgement about good and not-so good advertising. That we believe is your job. Instead of that our focus is on making things easy for you to sit through TDK commercials whenever you wish. In our experience, often the commercials are the most entertaining part of watching TV. And no proper ad collection would be all-embracing in the absence of a few TDK advertisements. So be of good faith that the next time we find another TDK ad, you'll almost certainly find it here to watch on tellyAds.


The teen accused of beating a 64-year-old man in a case of road rage could be facing new charges.
The two became separated and when the witness said he finally found Hillman, he was pulled over to the side of the road and saw him kicking a man who was unconscious on the ground, next to his pick-up truck.
Investigators are calling this a road rage incident, but there is still no indication what started it. Hillman claims McFarlan grabbed his neck.
