FAKENHAM Racecourse is in the running for a new national award
Betview magazine has announce Fakenham Racecourse and Leisure Facilities as a finalist in the Racecourse of the Year catagory in the first ever Betview Awards.
Betview will be bringing the betting and gaming industry together at the inaugural event on March 3 at the Dorchester Hotel in London. The awards will be the first event of its kind to reward and recognise the UK and ROI betting and gaming industry for outstanding achievement, ingenuity, innovation, sheer hard work and ultimately success.
The award for which Fakenham is nominated will be presented to the racecourse which provides the best experience for the betting and racing public.
The Betview Awards will have Clare Balding as their host. She presents all of the BBC's horse racing coverage and is also the main presenter for rugby league, show jumping and three-day eventing.
As a former champion amateur jockey, she comes from a racing background. Her father, Ian, trained the great Mill Reef to win the Derby, Eclipse, King George and Arc de Triomphe. On his retirement in 2002, her brother Andrew took over the training license. A Classic winner in Andrew's very first season prompted a memorable interview with his tearful sister in the winner's enclosure at Epsom after Casual Look won the Oaks.
Speaking about the awards, editor of Betview Justin O'Regan said: "The awards are the first of their kind to reward excellence in the betting and gaming industry and the broad sweep of award categories is specifically designed to ensure that all the key sectors of this vibrant and ever-changing industry are reflected in one exciting, showpiece occasion.

New technology in reticulation involves being able to direct the water straight to the root zone of the plants, reducing wastage to areas that don't require water. Drip emitters can be place along a pipe at the required spacing for the existing plants. Drippers can come in a range of flow rates, so that mixed plantings can be matched to their water requirements.
Inline drip pipe can also be used to irrigate a garden or lawn. The pipe is laid down in either a grid pattern across the garden, or it can be weaved around the garden, only covering the essential root zones of the plants. Mulch is spread across the garden to a depth of 100mm, reducing water loss by evaporation from wind and sunshine to almost nothing. This also reduces competition and wastage to weeds as well, making maintenance in the garden less time consuming.
By using a root prevention chemical in the watering system, or drip pipe that is wrapped in geo-textile fabric, subsurface lawn irrigation can be set up using dripper tube as well. These two methods mean that the drip emitters in the pipe are protected from roots growing into the outlet, causing blockages. Drip tube is available in a number of sizes. 5mm tube can be used in small areas and raised garden beds. 13mm and 16mm tube is used over larger areas and under lawns, as it allows greater pipe run lengths. Drip outlet sizes are rated at 1.9l/hr and 3l/hr for clean water sources.
For bore water and grey water recycling, outlets are rated at 8l/hr. The larger outlet allows for particles in dirty water to pass through. In all cases, filters are recommended. Also recommended are line flushing valves and vacuum release valves. The vacuum release valves allow air into the system, preventing sand or organic matter being sucked into the drip outlet when the water is turned off. Line flushing valves allow a certain amount of water to flow out of the end of the pipe when the water is first turned on, allowing any build up of residues to be removed from the pipe.
Soil type will affect the way the pipe work is set out. In clay soils, you can have a larger space between the drip lines, as the water tends to spread through the upper soil layers more than it soaks down. In sandy soils, the water will soak down quicker than it spreads, so drippers will need to be placed closer together. The inline drip tube comes with an array of different spacings. 30cm spacing is the most common. 5mm drip tube can be spaced at 15cm, 30cm and 50cm. The larger pipe sizes can be spaced up to 1m.
At Water Installations Pty Ltd, we supply a range of options for water wise reticulation. Water Installations also have accredited water wise installers. Other options for water wise reticulation include recycling the grey water from your laundry, shower and bath.
Water Installations can also show you a number of systems that have health department approval for the use of grey water in WA.
As we head towards summer everyone starts thinking about water and gardens. Now is the time to check the status of your irrigation, make those necessary repairs and alterations, and maybe even consider becoming a waterwise gardener. A waterwise garden can be achieved by either installing an efficient watering system or replacing lawn and other water-hungry exotics with waterwise plants, or both. The benefits of being waterwise – save money, save water, reduce work to maintain and save the environment.
Landscape-sensible design will enable reduce fertiliser use, reduce runoff and thus soil loss. Coupled with an appropriate use of mulch, organic compost, soil amendments. Designing your home's irrigation system to be waterwise would not only conserve water but also save you money on your water bills. Most people who have automatic systems rely on sprinklers and sprays. The trend these days is for dripline.
I suppose the more basic question to be addressed is "why do we need to change?" Besides the increasing cost of water and power, depletion of our water resources and pollution of our water bodies, there are pressing demands for more efficient systems and a need safer ways of re-using our greywater. Drippers are by far the most efficient way to water plants. Individual drippers typically come in 2, 4 and 8 L capacity per hour, while dripline drippers vary from 1.6 to 10 L/hour. Furthermore, technology is such that drip irrigation can be pressure-compensated, self-flushing, anti-siphoning and have a shut-off mechanism.
Water in early evening or night, reducing loss by evaporation. About 60% of water is lost if you use fine sprays during the heat of the day – the water either never touches the soil or quickly evaporates as it does.
Water the roots. How many times have you seen someone watering plant leaves. Leaves do not absorb water this way – it only enters the plant via root uptake.
Turn irrigation off during the winter months. Generally, irrigation can be turned on from about October through to April, and then it should be controlled so that if rain events do occur the irrigation system is not activated.
Don't water paths and driveways. Overspray is a complete waste of precious water. Make sure your system is set up to deliver the right amount of water, at the right time to the right place.
If you must use sprinklers buy ones that produce large droplets to minimise wind drift. Use micro-irrigation for garden beds and individual drippers on native plants.
Don't overwater. Every soil type only holds a certain amount of water, so regulate the volume you add. Even a simple and inexpensive tap timer on manually operated sprinkler systems helps. Consider hand watering, which can be both relaxing and efficient, especially if you have a trigger nozzle which only allows water to leave the hose when it is pressed.
Overwatering can often occur if the water pressure is high. You can install a pressure-reducing valve to keep the water pressure a slow as possible to reduce water wastage. Installing a rain sensor will also prevent overwatering. These devices monitor or respond to soil moisture and prevent the controller from switching the irrigation on.
Rain sensors vary in price, but a good one is less than $50, while a soil moisture sensor is about $100. On average, approximately 15 kilolitres a year can be saved in homes by replacing inefficient showerheads, installing tap flow control devices and fixing leaks while a further 20 kilolitres a year could be saved through a retrofit of inefficient toilet suites.
Approximately 100 kilolitres a year can be saved by replacing 100m2 of well maintained turf with paving or synthetic grass, or 50 kilolitres a year by replacing this area with a Waterwise garden. Additional financial savings can be realised by households due to the lower maintenance requirements of paving, synthetic grass and Waterwise gardens. In this initiative, guidelines would be established to determine what would qualify as turf and replacement materials and an incentive would be paid to customers who complied with these guidelines.
Add plenty of organic matter such as compost and manure to the soil to improve water retention, plant health and soil structure. This is one of the most important steps in making your garden drought-tolerant. Remember, the healthier your plants are, the more likely they are to withstand drought conditions. Install a rainwater tank. It is recommended that water from these tanks be used for gardens only. These tanks are expensive and owners are responsible for maintenance. Your local water company will be able to provide you with information on whether a rainwater tank would be efficient in your area.
Recycle water on your garden from your shower or washing machine. It is legal (under certain conditions) to recycle this water, known as greywater, on your garden, but you must have approval from your local water company and a licensed plumber must connect your system to your plumbing. Remove weeds regularly from garden beds because weeds compete with other plants for water. Before planting a new garden bed, condition clay soils with powdered or liquid gypsum to improve water penetration.
While automatic watering systems allow you to devote time and energy elsewhere, if you do not occasionally check the system, you may be pouring money down the drain. Breaks, leaks, broken fittings and split pipes are common mishaps and much water can be wasted especially if irrigation is under pressure. And if you have, or are going to install, an automatic irrigation system, install one with a rain sensor.
The Waterwise Garden Irrigator Program (WGIP) was developed in conjunction with the Irrigation Association of Australia and was launched in November 2003. The program is designed to raise the standards of domestic irrigation installation for improved water-use effiency in Western Australia. Irrigators endorsed under the program are qualified to design and install water efficient garden watering systems to an industry standard. To qualify for the program, irrigators must have two years experience in the industry and pass a written test.

Ephaptische Übertragung () ist eine Form der Kommunikation im Nervensystem und unterscheidet sich von direkten Kommunikationssystemen wie den elektrischen und chemischen Synapsen. Der Begriff kann sich auf die Übertragung von Signalen zwischen zwei aneinander liegenden (sich berührenden) Nervenfasern durch den Austausch von Ionen beziehen, oder es kann die Signalübertragung durch lokale elektrische Felder bezeichnen. In beiden Fällen kann ephaptische Übertragung die Synchronisation und den zeitlichen Ablauf des Aktionspotentials der beteiligten Neuronen beeinflussen. Es wird vermutet, dass die Myelinisierung von Nervenzellen ephaptische Interaktionen hemmt.

Geschichte und Etymologie
Die Idee, elektrische Aktivität von Nervengewebe könne die Aktivität von umliegendem Nervengewebe beeinflussen, lässt sich bereits im späten 19. Jahrhundert nachweisen. Frühe Experimente wie die von Boys-Reymond zeigten, dass die Erregung eines primären Nervs zur Erregung eines benachbarten sekundären Nervs führen könne (genannt ). Dieser Effekt wurde jedoch nicht weiter quantitativ untersucht, bis 1940 in Experimenten von Katz und Schmitt elektrische Interaktionen zwischen zwei benachbarten Nerven von Gliedmaßen der gemeinen Strandkrabbe untersucht wurden. Ihre Arbeit zeigte, dass der Verlauf/das Fortschreiten des Aktionspotentials des aktiven Axons zu Veränderungen im Erregungszustand des inaktiven Axons führten. Diese Veränderungen wurden den lokalen Strömen, die das Aktionspotential bilden, zugeschrieben. Zum Beispiel führte eine Depolarisation (Erregung) des aktiven Nervs eine Hyperpolarisation (Hemmung) des anliegenden ruhenden Nervs. Ähnlich führten die Ströme, die den aktiven Nerv repolarisierten, zu einer leichten Depolarisation des anliegenden ruhenden Nervs. Katz und Schmitt beobachteten außerdem, dass die Stimulation beider Nerven zu Interferenzen führen konnte. Gleichzeitiges Auftreten eines Aktionspotentials führte zu Interferenzen und einer verringerten Leitgeschwindigkeit. Hingegen führte eine leicht zeitlich verschobene Stimulation zu einer Synchronisation beider Impulse.

1941 erforschte Angélique Arvanitaki dasselbe Gebiet und schlug den Begriff Ephapse vor, um dieses Phänomen zu beschreiben und es von der synaptischen Übertragung zu unterscheiden. Mit der Zeit wurde der Begriff ephaptische Übertragung nicht nur im Fall einer elektrischen Interaktion zwischen benachbarten Elementen gebraucht, sondern auch allgemeiner um Effekte zu beschreiben, die durch irgendeine Änderung des elektrischen Feldes entlang der Zellmembran entstanden.

Wirkungsweise und Effekte

Erregung und Hemmung
Die frühe Arbeit von Katz und Schmitt zeigten, dass ephaptische Übertragung zwischen zwei benachbarten Nerven nicht ausreichte, um am ruhenden Nerv ein Aktionspotential auszulösen. Die maximale Depolarisation, de unter Idealbedingungen beobachtet werden konnte, betrug etwa 20 % des Schwellenpotentials. Jedoch können die Bedingungen so beeinflusst werden, dass sich das Aktionspotential eines Neurons zu einem benachbarten Neuron ausbreiten kann. In einer Studie wurde dies mit zwei experimentellen Bedingungen geschafft: erhöhte Kalziumkonzentration, die das Schwellenpotential absenkte, oder durch untertauchen der Axone in Mineralöl, was zu einem erhöhten Widerstand führte. Obwohl diese Veränderungen nicht normale Bedingungen widerspiegeln, zeigen sie doch die Mechanismen hinter der emphatischen Erregung auf.

Es wurde ebenfalls herausgefunden, dass ephaptische Übertragung eine wichtige Rolle in der Hemmung benachbarter Neuronen spielt. Abhängig von dem Ort und der Identität der Neuronen wurden verschiedene Wirkungsweisen gefunden, die einer ephaptischen Hemmung zugrunde liegen. In einer Studie wechselwirkten neu erregte Neuronen mit bereits vorhandenen Strömen, senkten dadurch das extrazelluläre Potential und depolarisierten das Neuron im Vergleich zu seinem näheren Umfeld. Somit wurde die Ausbreitung des Aktionspotentials unterbunden.

Synchronisation und Timing

Studien zur ephaptischen Übertragung legten den Fokus auch auf seine Rolle bei der Synchronisation und dem Timing von Aktionspotentialen in Neuronen. Im einfacheren Fall von benachbarten Fasern, die beide gleichzeitig stimuliert werden, wird der Impuls verlangsamt, weil beide Fasern auf den Austausch von Ionen mit der Gewebsflüssigkeit beschränkt sind. Dies führt zu einer Erhöhung des Widerstands der Nerven. Zeitlich leicht verschobene Impulse (mit einem Unterschied der Leitgeschwindigkeit von weniger als 10 %) können Ionen konstruktiv austauschen. Das Aktionspotential breitet sich leicht phasenverschoben mit derselben Geschwindigkeit aus.

Neuere Forschung konzentrierte sich jedoch auf den allgemeineren Fall von elektrischen Feldern, die eine Vielzahl an Neuronen beeinflussen. Es wurde beobachtet, dass lokale Feldpotentiale in kortikalen Neuronen neuronale Aktivität synchronisieren kann. Obwohl die Wirkungsweise unbekannt ist, wird vermutet, dass Neuronen an die Frequenzen des lokalen Feldpotentials gekoppelt sind. Diese Kopplung könnte Neuronen effektiv in Zeitspannen mit erhöhter Erregbarkeit (oder Hemmung) synchronisieren und zu bestimmten Mustern des Aktionspotential-Timings führen. Dieser Effekt wurde in verschiedenen Fällen demonstriert und modelliert.

Eine Hypothese oder Erklärung dem Mechanismus ist der -, - oder -Effekt als mathematische und fundamentale Eigenschaft nichtlinearer dynamischer Systeme (Oszillatoren wie Neuronen), die sich unter bestimmten Bedingungen synchronisieren. Ein solches Phänomen wurde seit 2010 in Simulationen und Modellarbeit von Hrg als Möglichkeit zwischen zwei Neuronen nach dem Hindmarsh–Rose-Modell vorgeschlagen und vorhergesagt. Es wurde ebenfalls aufgezeigt, dass solch gleichlaufende Synchronisation  oder -Transfer neuraler Dynamiken von primären zu sekundären Neuronen sich auf unterschiedliche Arten zeigen können. Deshalb ist das Phänomen nicht nur von fundamentalem Interesse, sondern findet auch von der Behandlung von Epilepsie bis zu neuartigen Lernmethoden Anwendung. Synchronisierung von Neuronen ist grundsätzlich unerwünschtes Verhalten, da das Gehirn keine Information enthalten würde, wenn alle Neuronen synchron wären. Daher besteht die Hypothese, dass sich die Neurobiologie evolutionär angepasst hat, um ein synchrones Erregen der Neuronen in großer Zahl zu verhindern und es stattdessen in wenigen Spezialfällen nutzt.

Da Modelle der Gehirnfunktion ausschließlich unter Berücksichtigung von neuronalen und Gap-Junction-Verbindungen die Komplexität des Gehirns nicht zu erklären vermögen, werden ephaptische Verbindungen vermehrt miteinbezogen, um die Isopotentialität kortikaler Astrozyten, die für das bioelektromagnetische Übersprechen zwischen Neuronen und Astrozyten im Neocortex verantwortlich ist, zu erklären zu versuchen.

Beispiele

Herzmuskelfasern

Das Erregungsleitungssystem des Herzens wurde bereits gründlich erforscht. Jedoch stellt neue Forschung einige bisher akzeptierte Modelle in Frage. Die Rolle ephaptischer Übertragung in Herzmuskelzellen wird immer mehr ersichtlich. Ein Autor geht sogar so weit, zu sagen  Ephaptische Wechselwirkungen zwischen Herzmuskelfaserzellen helfen, eine Lücke zu füllen, für die die elektrischen Synapsen alleine nicht ausreichen würden. In letzter Zeit gibt es außerdem einige mathematische Modelle, die ephaptische Übertragungen in Vorhersagen zur elektrischen Leitfähigkeit im Herzen miteinbeziehen. Experimentelle Arbeiten legen nahe, dass Nanobereiche mit einer großen Anzahl an Natriumkanälen an Orten, wo sich Herzmuskelzellen nahe kommen, funktionale Einheiten zur ephaptischen Übertragung darstellen können. Selektive Störungen dieser Nanobereiche resultierten in einer Verlangsamung der arrhytmogenetischen Leitung, was eine wichtige Rolle der ephaptischen Übertragung nahelegt. Mögliche ephaptische Verbindungen werden nun auch bei Herzmedikamenten in Betracht gezogen.

Epilepsie und Anfälle
Epileptische Anfälle geschehen bei Synchronizität elektrischer Wellen im Gehirn. Mit dem Wissen um die Rolle der ephaptischen Übertragung bei der Synchronhaltung von elektrischen Signalen macht es Sinn, bei dieser Symptomatik eine ephaptische Wirkungsweise näher in Betracht zu ziehen. Eine Studie legt nahe, dass Zellen der Gehirnrinde wegen der engen Anordnung der Axone, die die Interaktionen ihrer elektrischen Felder ermöglicht, ein idealer Beobachtungsort für ephaptische Übertragung seien. Es wurden Änderungen des Platzes zwischen den Zellen getestet, was lokale elektrische Felder beeinflusst. Dabei wurde herausgefunden, dass eine epileptische Synchronisation unabhängig einer Manipulation der chemischen Synapsen verhindert wurden, in dem einfach der Zellzwischenraum vergrößert wurde. Später wurde ein Modell erstellt, um diese Phänomen vorauszusagen. Dieses zeigte Szenarien mit größerem intrazellulärem Raum, der eine epileptische Synchronisation im Gehirn deutlich unterband.

Olfaktorischer Kortex
Neuronen im olfaktorischen Kortex sind unmyelinisiert und dicht angeordnet, weshalb die schwachen Effekte der ephaptischen Übertragung hier leichter beobachtet werden können. Mehrere Studien haben aufgezeigt, wie die Hemmung zwischen den Neuronen des olfaktorischen Kortex die Signalantwort auf Gerüche fein abstimmen. Es wurde aufgezeigt, dass diese Hemmungen alleine durch Änderungen der elektrischen Potentiale hervorgerufen wird. Mit der Ergänzung von Riechbahnnervenmodellen mit der ephaptischen Übertragung wird das Modell der  , bei dem jeder Geruchsrezeptor seinen Reiz an genau eine Neuron weitergibt, weiter untermauert. Die Hemmung durch ephaptische Übertragung würde die Integration von Signalen erklären, die zu einer nuancierten Wahrnehmung von Gerüchen führt.

Synapsen
Synapsen werden typischerweise gebildet, wenn sich zwei Neuronen sehr nahe kommen. Deshalb kann ephaptische Übertragung über den synaptischen Spalt auftreten. Bekannte Beispiele sind Mauthner-Zellen von Fischen, das Ganglion ciliare von Küken, Korbzellensynapsen des Kleinhirns bei Säugetieren und die sich entwickelnden Heldschen Endkelche bei Säugetieren.

Mathematische Modelle

Aufgrund der sehr kleinen Felder, die von Neuronen produziert werden, werden häufig mathematische Modelle eingesetzt, um verschiedene Manipulationen zu testen. Die Kabelgleichung ist eine der wichtigsten Gleichungen in der Neurowissenschaft. Sie berechnet mit Hilfe von Kapazität und Widerstand als Variablen elektrische Ströme, die von Neuronen produziert werden und war die Grundlage für viele Vorhersagen zur ephaptischen Übertragung in Neuronen. Jedoch haben viele Autoren an ausgefeilteren Modellen gearbeitet, die die Umgebung des Nervensystems genauer widerspiegeln sollen. Zum Beispiel wurden von vielen Autoren Modelle für Herzgewebe vorgeschlagen, die zusätzliche Variablen beinhalten, um der einzigartigen Struktur und Geometrie der Herzzellen, verschiedenen Größenordnungen oder der dreidimensionalen Elektrodiffusion gerecht zu werden.

Tiermodelle

Kalmar-Riesenaxone

1978 wurden grundlegende Untersuchungen an Kalmar-Riesenaxonen durchgeführt, um Beweise für ephaptische Ereignisse zu finden. Es wurde aufgezeigt, dass das Aktionspotential eines Axons zu einem benachbarten Axon weitergeleitet werden kann. Die Übertragungsrate variierte von Veränderungen unter dem Schwellwert bis zur Initiierung eines Aktionspotential bei benachbarten Zellen. Jedoch wurde in allen Fällen ersichtlich, dass es Implikationen von ephaptischer Übertragung gibt, die von physiologischer Wichtigkeit sind.

Rückenmark und Medulla oblongata von Ratten

Eine Studie untersuchte die Wirkung ephaptischer Übertragung, in dem Neurotransmitter-Antagonisten zum Blockieren von chemischen Synapsen sowie Gap-Junction-Blocker zum Blockieren von elektrischen Synapsen verwendet wurden. Dabei wurde herausgefunden, dass rhythmische elektrische Entladungen, die mit fetalen Neuronen in Rückenmark und Medulla oblongata von Ratten im Zusammenhang stehen, immer noch vorhanden waren. Dies legt nahe, dass Verbindungen zwischen Neuronen immer noch existierten und Signale ohne traditionelle Synapsen weiterleiten konnten. Diese Ergebnisse unterstützen ein Modell, nach dem die ephaptische Übertragung zusammen mit kanonischen Synapsen Signale im neuronalen Netzwerk übertragen.

Purkinjezellen im Kleinhirn von Ratten

Einer der wenigen bekannten Fälle eines funktionalen Systems, in welchem ephaptische Übertragung für ein beobachtbares physiologisches Ereignis verantwortlich ist, sind die Purkinjezellen im Kleinhirn von Ratten. In dieser Studie wurde aufgezeigt, dass die Korbzellen, welche einige Bereiche von Purkinjezellen umschließen, eine hemmende Wirkung auf die Purkinjezellen haben können. Die Erregung dieser Korbzellen, die schneller geschieht als in den Purkinjezellen, erzeugt einen Strom durch die Purkinjezellen und generiert ein passives hyperpolarisierendes Potential, das die Aktivität der Purkinjezelle hemmt. Obwohl die genaue funktionale Rolle dieser Hemmung immer noch unklar hast, könnte es einen synchronisierenden Effekt auf die Purkinjezellen habe, da die ephaptische Wirkung die Erregungszeit verringert.

Ein ähnlicher Effekt wurde in Mauthner-Zellen von echten Knochenfischen beobachtet.

Skepsis

Obwohl die Idee nicht-synaptischer Interaktionen zwischen Neuronen bereits seit dem 19. Jahrhundert besteht, war dazu historisch viel Skeptizismus im Gebiet der Neurowissenschaft vorhanden. Viele Leute glaubten, dass die elektrischen Mikrofelder so klein seien, dass sie vernachlässigt werden könnten. Während viele Unterstützer der Theorie zur ephaptischen Übertragung deren Existenz zu beweisen versuchten, äußern einige Gegner in diesem Bereich Vorsicht. Zum Beispiel publizierte Bradley J. Roth 2014 eine Überprüfung, in der er sich skeptisch gegenüber der Idee der ephaptischen Übertragung äußert und aussagt  Er begründet seine Vorsicht damit, dass zwischen der Ladungsübertragung in der Gap Junction und der ephaptischen Übertragung genauer unterschieden werden müsse. Viele im Feld Tätige sind noch nicht ganz von überzeugt, dass eindeutige Beweise für die ephaptische Übertragung vorliegen.

2018 wurde ein scheinbar endgültiges Experiment veröffentlicht. Der Prozess der langsamen Wellenausbreitung im Gehirn mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0,1 Metern pro Sekunde wurde in vivo beobachtet. Langsame Wellenausbreitung konnte ebenfalls beobachtet werden, indem zwei Elektroden in zwei Enden eines Stücks Gehirn einer frisch getöteten Maus gesteckt wurden. Das Gewebe wurde dann zwischen den beiden Elektroden zerschnitten. Dabei wurde jegliche mögliche Verbindung durch Neuronen und Gap Junctions zwischen den Elektroden durchtrennt. Die langsame Welle breitete sich weiter aus und konnte nur durch einen Trennung der beiden Hälften von etwa 400 Mikrometern gestoppt werden. Unter Annahme der Reproduzierbarkeit dieses Experiments sollten nun auch Skeptiker der ephaptischen Übertragung von der Existenz dieses Phänomens überzeugt sein. Weitere Untersuchungen sollten sich deshalb nun auf die Wirkungsweise und Rolle der ephaptischen Übertragung konzentrieren und nicht deren Existenz.

Donald Trump wants Joe Rogan to moderate upcoming debate with Joe Biden
Natasha Hooper
Donald Trump has said he wants Joe Rogan to moderate an upcoming debate against Joe Biden.
Rogan has become a loud voice in the political space, and has sat down with Bernie Sanders and Candace Owens to discuss a number of hot button issues.
Last year, fans instigated a grassroots campaign to have the MMA commentator to moderate a 2020 debate between Biden and Trump. The online petition now has more than 250,000 signatures.
This week, Tim Kennedy, who recently joined Rogan on a podcast, reignited interest in the podcast host moderating a discussion between the political rivals.
President Trump and his Democratic challenger, former vice president Joe Biden, are scheduled to meet for three debates before the Nov. 3 presidential election
"On my podcast with Joe Rogan he offered to moderate a debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump," Kennedy wrote on Twitter. "It would be four hours with no live audience. Just the two candidates, cameras, and their vision of how to move this country forward. Who wants this?"
Donald Trump surprisingly responded to Kennedy's Twitter post and said he's up for it.
"I do!" He responded.
I do! https://t.co/H9Eghnqpuy
Joe Biden has yet to respond.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the debate will likely have some unusual changes from his original format, so a guest appearance from Joe Rogan certainly wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibilities. A source from the Cleveland Clinic—the location of the first debate—said that an audience could still attend but it is likely it will be significantly reduced.
Would you like to see Joe Rogan moderate an upcoming debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden?

Open housing was a personal issue for Lyneria McGhee and her family, who struggled to find a place large enough for eight people to live and encountered white landlords who refused to rent to them.
African-Americans living in segregated neighborhoods lack access to jobs and are more likely to live in poverty.
Shirley (Berry) Butler-Derge, a member of Milwaukee's NAACP Youth Council in the 1960s, remembers the Rev. James E. Groppi as an inspirational teacher who broke down racial barriers.
Twenty people of color recently graduated from the Associates in Commercial Real Estate (ACRE) program, which connects real estate development to race and equity issues.
For 200 consecutive days from August 1967 to March 1968, local civil rights activists protested racial discrimination in housing in marches across the city. The March on Milwaukee contributed to the national fight for civil rights for African-Americans and to passage of the federal Fair Housing Act in 1968.
Despite several setbacks, financing has been completed on the $21 million Welford Sanders Historic Lofts, a renovated building that will house residents and nonprofits and serve as a memorial to the man who led development efforts in Harambee for decades.

Q: How to force abstract and introduction to stay on the same page in LaTeX? I need to write with LaTeX the \begin{abstract} before \chapter*{Introduction} on the same page. I am using the following document class: \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{book} with \usepackage[Conny]{fncychap}.

A: Although your specific problem seems to be caused by a \cleardoublepage where you don't want one, in general: You can use \nopagebreak where you do not want there to be a page break. You might also suggest a \pagebreak (or perhaps \pagebreak[1]) after the introduction, to encourage the page-breaking algorithm to break after, not before.

A: Unfortunately the code you showed in the question does not compile, so I'll assume some generic definition for the abstract environment.
You can avoid the automatic page break at the start of a new chapter by temporarily redefining \cleardoublepage:

General Assembly Adds "Cyber Harassment" To Pennsylvania Criminal Code
Articles September 18, 2015
On July 10, 2015, the Pennsylvania General Assembly adopted Act 26 of 2015, which amends Title 18, Section 2709 ("Harassment") of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding the crime of cyber harassment. Cyber harassment occurs when, "with intent to harass, annoy or alarm," a person publishes an electronic message directly to a child or via social media containing: (1) seriously disparaging statements about the child's "physical characteristics, sexuality, sexual activity or mental or physical health or condition"; or (2) a threat to inflict harm. Act 26 also adds relevant definitions for terms such as "emotional distress" and "seriously disparaging statement or opinion."
The Act further provides that when a juvenile is charged with cyber harassment, the court is instructed to give first consideration to a diversionary program which may include an educational program about the legal and non-legal consequences of cyber harassment. Successful completion of the diversionary program will result in the expungement of the juvenile's record.
Act 26 of 2015 takes effect on September 10, 2015.
Districts are advised to review their Bullying policies with their solicitor to determine whether updates are needed to ensure that the policies are consistent with Act 26.

This report highlights the experiences of Africare, Oxfam America and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) working with the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in the African Sahel, Southeast Asia, and India, respectively. Although implemented in very different cultures and climates, the pattern is the same: farmers are able to produce more rice using less water, agrochemical inputs, and seeds, and often with less labor. The net effect is to improve household incomes and food security while reducing the negative environmental impacts of rice production, and making food production more resilient.


Make a tax - deductible donation to the SB Timeline Mosaic via Fractured Atlas, our fiscal sponsor.
Our phase 1 goal is to raise $15,000 to begin the free, bilingual community workshops!
The Santa Barbara Timeline Mosaic project began in February 2017 when Santa Barbara mosaic artist Betsy Gallery first saw images of the London Queenhithe Dock mosaic showing London's history from Roman times to the present. Santa Barbara's mosaic will become an educational site for locals and visitors alike, illustrating important historical, environmental and cultural events central to our local heritage. Installed in a prominent and accessible location in the city of Santa Barbara, the mosaic will show how our environment and community have changed over time.
The fabrication of the mosaic, estimated at approximately 5 x 50 feet, will involve volunteers from diverse sectors of the population. This will be a mosaic for the people by the people.

Perfect Dark () ist eine Peer-to-Peer-Filesharing-Anwendung aus Japan für Windows. Es wurde 2006 ins Leben gerufen, von einem Autor, der unter dem Pseudonym Kaicho (会長 Der Vorsitzende) bekannt ist.  Perfect Dark wurde mit der Absicht entwickelt, der Nachfolger von Winny und Share zu sein. Seit der Version 1.02, Codename "Stand Alone Complex", wird das Programm in englischer Sprache ausgeführt.

Perfect Dark fordert in der Voreinstellung eine höhere Bandbreite und hat einen höheren Bedarf an Festplattenplatz als seine Vorgänger Winny und Share. Die minimale Uploadfreigabe-Geschwindigkeit ist 100 KB/sec und mindestens 40 GB Festplattenspeicher für seinen temporären "Unity"-Ordner (ein Cache).
Perfect Dark funktioniert jedoch auch mit deutlich langsameren Verbindungen bis hin zu ISDN, es erreicht so die maximale Unitycache-Größe bis auf wenige Gigabyte kaum.
Für die normale Download-Priorität müssen jedoch einmalig mindestens 2 GB Daten aus dem eigenen Unity-Cache wieder ins Netz hochgeladen worden sein.

Perfect Dark gilt damit als Anti-Leech-Client der weitaus strikter die Ressourcen nutzt als etwa Edonkey/Emule über das Creditsystem.

Zum Austausch der Files zwischen den Benutzern bzw. deren Unity-Caches benutzt Perfect Dark eine RSA-1024- und AES-128-Verschlüsselung um die Daten zu übertragen. Die Sicherheit wird damit ähnlich wie die von Freenet eingestuft, da es für Außenstehende kaum möglich ist, zu ermitteln welche Daten von wem, wohin gesendet werden.

Zum erstmaligen Verbinden mit dem Netz benötigt Perfect Dark eine Knotenliste und den freigeschalteten Trigger-Port 80 und den jedoch auch änderbaren TCP-Port 64256 im Router.

Brijunska kultura je eneolitička i ranobrončanodobna kultura.

Krajem eneolitika na poluotoku (nalazište Gromače na Brijunima) javlja se nedefinirana kulturna pojava s grubom keramikom ukrašenom metličastim ornamentom, koja zalazi u rano brončano doba. U Istri su naselja na otvorenom prostoru i pećinska staništa, te metličasto ukrašivanje stijenki keramičkih posuda (Brijuni, pećina Cingarela, Trogrla pećina, Novačka pećina, Podosojna pećina, Romualdova pećina, Šandalja, Pradišel) tekovine eneolitika koje se nastavljaju i u prvoj fazi brončanoga doba.

Just in time for the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which hits theaters on Dec. 13, a new Lord of the Rings inspired movie hits DVD on Dec. 3. The film is called Rise of the Fellowship and you can check out the trailer for it above.
Now, before you start thinking this is similar to the Asylum-styled rip-off movies that hit when blockbusters are about to come out, this one looks a little closer to the Rambo homage Son of Rambow.
Rise of the Fellowship is about a group of friends who are basically geeks who spend all their time playing online games, are bullied continuously and have no chance of being more than a loser. That all changes when he heads to Florida to take part in a Lord of the Rings gaming competition.
Here is the press release that was sent out with the trailer and the poster for the upcoming Rise of the Fellowship.
Before The Hobbit embarks on his second journey across Middle Earth, a different Fellowship will rise across Middle America.
Rise of the Fellowship, winner of the GenCon 2012 film festival , is an exciting jaunt about a group of friends who embark on an epic journey to find a new world they have only heard of, encountering dangerous obstacles and threats around every corner.
The film, directed by Rob Newcomb, features an exciting troupe of fresh faces including Justin Moe, Jayme Bell, Emma Earnest, and Cole Matson.
RISE OF THE FELLOWSHIP is released December 3 on DVD from Phase 4 Films.


Disney returns to Pride Lands in the first official trailer for Jon Favreau's remake of "The Lion King."
The new clip, featuring dazzlingly realistic footage of the African savannah filled with giraffes, antelopes, and zebras, begins with Simba getting some advice from his wicked uncle Scar.
"Life's not fair is it, my little friend?" Scar asks a timid Simba. "While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps."
Mufasa then offers some sage wisdom, telling Simba: "You must take your place in the circle of life."

Bengaluru killing, two calls raise alarm over new gangland order
The big question, sources say, is whether this is a possible power struggle for the control of Bengaluru among underworld remnants from various groups.
TEN DAYS ago, a bar owner was shot outside his establishment in the heart of Bengaluru with a breech-loading gun, and then hacked with a machete. This rare underworld killing in the central business district, followed by a chilling phone call to two TV channels, has raised apprehensions in police circles that a new gangland order is moving to take over organised crime in the tech city.
On October 15, Manish Shetty, 41, who has a history of involvement in robbery and extortion and was an associate of the extradited gangster Muthappa Rai , was killed outside Duet Bar and Restaurant. Soon, a caller claiming to be Vijay Shetty, a former associate of Mumbai gangster Chhota Rajan and a self-styled "patriotic" gangster, called two local channels in Bengaluru and Mangaluru to claim that the killing was an act of revenge for a murder in coastal Karnataka last month.
On September 24, Kishan Hegde, a gangster in Udupi with alleged links to Hindutva groups, was hacked to death in broad daylight by a group of men. Udupi Police arrested associates of Manoj Kodikere, an activist of the Hindu Jagaran Vedike with criminal antecedents, for the killing. "The murder was the fallout of a dispute between Hegde and Kodikere for control of business activities at the Mangalore port," police sources said.
In his phone calls to TV9 in Bengaluru and Daijiworld in Mangaluru, the caller who identified himself as Vijay Shetty claimed that the Bengaluru bar-owner had allegedly orchestrated the Udupi murder. "He (Manish Shetty) provided all the support for the murder. He was the boss of Kodikere Manoj. It is under his influence that the murder was carried out. This is why we attacked Manish Shetty,'" the caller claimed.
In normal course, the killing of the bar owner would have been considered an extension of Mangaluru gang rivalries that have long histories and taken communal shades in recent years — mirroring the Mumbai gang rivalries of the 1990s.
But the circumstances, police sources say, are different. The Bengaluru killing has come at a time when the local underworld is in a state of flux following the death of former don Muthappa Rai, 68, due to cancer in May and the extradition of Pujari, 54, from Senegal in February.
The big question, sources say, is whether this is a possible power struggle for the control of Bengaluru among underworld remnants from various groups. "We are trying to ascertain if there is an attempt by different groups to fill the vacuum in the underworld left by the death of Rai and the arrest of Pujari, and whether the fight has been extended from Mangaluru to Bengaluru," police sources said.
Pujari hails from Mangaluru, which was also Rai's hometown. Rai was extradited in 2002 from Dubai where he was an associate of Sharad Shetty, the Mumbai gangster from the Dawood Ibrahim gang. And since Rai's death, there have been reports that one of his former associates Rakesh Malli, 49, has been trying to gain control of the gang.
Malli, who was a Congress candidate for the 2018 Assembly polls from Udupi's Kundapur, had earlier accused Rai of cheating him of his share in a property deal in Mangaluru. "There are reports that some of the persons who surrendered for the murder in Udupi on September 24 are linked to Rakesh Malli," police sources said.
Unlike Rai, who went from Bengaluru to Dubai before being extradited, Pujari was a part of the Mumbai underworld and the Chhota Rajan gang before moving abroad. He is alleged to have collaborated with Rai in the 2001 murder of the realtor Subbaraju in Bengaluru.
Pujari was primarily involved in extortion activities using the services of a henchman from Mangalore, Kali Yogesh, who is reportedly in a foreign country, and local aides like the bar-owner Manish Shetty, police sources said.
The murdered Shetty served a 10-year jail term for a 2006 bank robbery in Belagavi where he was part of a gang that robbed Rs 8 lakh from an SBI branch. He was arrested following an armed robbery worth Rs 2.90 crore from a branch of Chemmanur Jewellers in Bengaluru in August 2007.
While in prison, he is alleged to have been involved in coordinating extortion activities of the Pujari gang with associates like Kali Yogish and Nikhil Shetty who was extradited from Dubai in 2015. After his release, Manish Shetty provided muscle for a fraudulent real estate firm and was an informant, police sources said.
One of the reasons that Bengaluru Police are not readily buying the claim of gangster Vijay Shetty that the Bengaluru murder was an act of revenge is the lead that the four hired killers – Shashikiran (45), Nitya Shetty (29), Ganesha (39) and Akshay (32) — were tracking the movement of the bar-owner for at least four months prior to the killing.
Two of the alleged killers, who were arrested within hours of the murder, were employed near Duet Bar, police sources said. "The killing of Kishan Hegde in Udupi may have been the spark to execute the Bengaluru murder which was being planned for many months. But there are hidden figures behind the curtains and we are trying to find them," a senior police officer said.

Islamists: To Deal, or Not To Deal?
Since Hamas seized control of Gaza by force of arms last month, there has been a growing debate over how to deal with Islamic fundamentalist groups, not only in the Palestinian territories, but throughout the Arab world. With Arab Islamist groups making electoral gains, and now effectively running a statelet in Gaza, should other interested parties accommodate them or seek to neutralize or dest

Since Hamas seized control of Gaza by force of arms last month, there has been a growing debate over how to deal with Islamic fundamentalist groups, not only in the Palestinian territories, but throughout the Arab world. With Arab Islamist groups making electoral gains, and now effectively running a statelet in Gaza, should other interested parties accommodate them or seek to neutralize or destroy them? It's a useful debate because that will be a key question for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as he takes up his new job as envoy of the so-called Middle East Quartet.
U.S. policy has been to shun them, and prominent figures in the policymaking industry, like former U.S. mediator Dennis Ross, as I blogged recently, lept to the view that everybody should work to make sure that Hamas loses the internal Palestinian political contest with the mainstream, secular-oriented Fatah group. Perhaps their voices are not as loud, but a good number of other experts on the region are advocating the opposite—that the strategy of trying to isolate Hamas has failed, and that no peace process is likely to succeed unless a Palestinian national unity government is reestablished and recognized by the international community. The argument is taken further, that no democracy can come in countries like Egypt and Jordan unless Islamist parties are accommodated in the political system.
Writing in the Washington Post, two of Ross's former colleagues on the Clinton administration's peace team, Robert Malley and Aaron David Miller, advocate a different approach. Arguing against a policy of showering aid on Fatah's control of the West Bank and strangling Hamas in Gaza, they point to the "wreckage" of a U.S. policy that has tried to isolate Hamas as a way of reversing the group's electoral victory in 2006. "There can be no security, let alone a peace process, without minimal Palestinian unity and consensus," they write. "Should a national unity government be established, this time [the U.S.] should welcome the outcome and take steps to shore it up. Only then will efforts to broker credible political negotiations between [Fatah leader and Palestinian President Mahmoud] Abbas and his Israeli counterpart on a two-state solution have a chance to succeed."
The sentiment is shared by Augustus Richard Norton of Boston University, an expert on Hizballah, an experienced hand in the region and sharp analyst of Middle East affairs. "Efforts to isolate Gaza under Hamas control will only reinforce America's abysmal standing in the Muslim world," he writes in the Boston Globe. "Eighty percent of the 1.4 million people living in Gaza now live in poverty. The United States needs to rethink its approach to Palestinian politics and peacemaking, as well as how it comprehends groups such as Hamas. The bloodletting in Gaza is a reminder that unless diplomacy makes room for all the major Palestinian players, the United States will only increase the vehemence and the cohesion of those who are left out of the picture."
Another worthwhile perspective, in the London Review of Books, is that of Alastair Crooke, a former MI6 official who served on the Mitchell Commission on the causes of the 2000 Palestinian intifadah and later as a Middle East advisor to the European Union. Crooke bluntly calls Europe's determination to isolate Hamas and return Fatah to power "one of their greatest policy mistakes in the region, second only to their support for the invasion of Iraq."
Crooke warns that Islamists are reconsidering their participation in electoral politics as the result of the sanctions imposed on the elected Hamas government, Israel's war to destroy Hizballah and Egypt's repression of the Muslim Brotherhood. At stake, he says, is whether relatively moderate Islamists—he includes Hamas and Hizballah in this category, against radical salafists--can retain their influence amid increasing extremism.
"We should hope – that may be all we can now do – that moderate Islamist movements manage to navigate these turbulent times, in spite of European attempts to prevent Islamism, which is clearly now the dominant regional current, from reshaping Middle Eastern societies," Crooke says. "These attempts are opening space, not for the moderate pro-Western secularists whom Europeans seek to empower, but for those who believe that to build a new society you must first burn down the old one."
Arab governments, many of which face Islamist threats of their own, are divided on how to deal with Hamas. Saudi Arabia is encouraging Fatah and Hamas to reunite, while Jordan prefers to isolate Hamas as a way of luring Israel and the U.S. into the peace process and certainly to hold back the Islamist trend within Jordan. Egypt, which faces its own Muslim Brotherhood challenge, is in the middle. On the one hand, the Egyptians seem to believe that Hamas is a reality that cannot be wished away, and that no peace process can succeed if Hamas is repressed. On the other hand, Egypt is not happy about having an Islamist-led "government" in next door Gaza, demonstrating to Egyptians that it is possible for Islamists to win power.
Despite the Bush administration's anti-Hamas position, it has shown some subtle signs of adjusting to the reality that Islamist groups are on the rise. When the Muslim Brotherhood won 88 seats in the Egyptian parliament in 2005, Bush officials said the boycott of the Brotherhood would continue but that nothing prevented U.S. officials from meeting with MPs, even if they happened to be MBs as well. In practice, however, that did not happen, until a few months ago when U.S. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with MB parliamentary leader Mohammed Saad el-Katani in the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt.
Mubarak's government was not pleased. It's not clear to me, though, whether the small gesture toward the MB was meant to signal a reconsideration of U.S. policy toward Islamists or displeasure with the Mubarak regime's increasing political crackdown on all opponents.

Simon Asks Her To Stop And Change Her Song Choice. That's When She Left Him Speechless! 13k
A young person has so many dreams they wish to live out in their lives, and one of the most popular one is to become a singer and sing for the world to hear.
16-year-old Jodi Bird has always wanted to be a singer from as early as she can remember and finally got her chance when she took to the stage on Britain's Got Talent. Her choice of music was 'Don't Rain on My Parade' and the audience were loving her energetic voice and performance. Simon however didn't feel like it was doing her any justice and asked if she had a backup song to perform.
That's when the audience and the other judges rejected his idea to change song and to allow her to finish the original song, and needless to say, she showed Simon her amazing talent!

Rail infrastructure operator Network Rail has submitted plans for footbridge to improve safety at a second level crossing in Lincoln, England.
The latest proposal follows the opening in June of a nearby footbridge, which has significantly reduced the risk of an incident at the level crossing on the High Street.
The proposed Brayford Wharf East footbridge will provide a route above another level crossing in the city centre. The crossing sees almost 7,000 vehicles and over 16,000 pedestrians use it every day, as well as around 140 freight and passengers trains.
Should the plans be approved by Lincoln City Council, the bridge will provide permanent stepped access over the busy railway so that pedestrians no longer have to stand and wait at the barriers.
Earlier this year, there was a narrow escape for a pedestrian who jumped over the barriers and narrowly avoided coming into contact with an oncoming train.
Once the planning decision for Brayford Wharf East is made, Network Rail will begin the tendering process to find a construction firm to build the bridge.

Royals, Lions become unlikely championship opponents
GUELPH – The Ross Royals and St. James Lions became unexpected District 10 high school football championship combatants when they scored semifinal victories Friday at Alumni Stadium.
The third-place Royals scored the winning touchdown with 3.8 seconds to go as they edged the second place Centennial Spartans 21-18 in the opening game of the semifinal doubleheader.
The fourth-place and defending champion St. James Lions, playing without regular quarterback Jakob Tomas, slipped by the first-place Guelph CVI Green Gaels 17-14 in the nightcap.
The games were a far cry from the tripleheader the previous Saturday that saw three one-sided games wrap up the regular season.
This year's league was a close one at the top and the general consensus was that any of the playoff participants could claim the championship. Still, the top two (GCVI and Centennial) had to be the favourites.
That, though, didn't mean much Friday as the favourites were left in tears while the underdogs celebrated their victories.
The championship match is set for Friday at 6 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.
Ross 21 Centennial 18
The Royals never led until Nico Jean-Gaston crashed over the line on a quarterback keeper with the winning touchdown.
"We didn't have much time so I told my (centre) that as soon as I touch your butt, give me the ball," Jean-Gaston said. "He gave me the ball and then Malik (Faulkner) helped me out and a big O-line push got me in and finished the game. That's how it went."
"It was just our quarterback sneak," Mathewson said. "Twelve seconds left and we're down on the two. The first one we tried and couldn't get it in and then we just quickly ran up to the line to get another (play) in. It's not ideal without any timeouts at that point, but we got the job done."
The win puts Ross in their first championship-game appearance since 2015 when they lost 16-14 to Centennial and they'll be looking for their first D10 title win since 2013 when they won for the fourth time in five year.
"It's been a while," Mathewson said. "For a lot of these guys, they haven't been to one. Coming from last place last year is huge for us. It's a big step."
"A big, big win – so exciting," Jean-Gaston said. "From an 0-5 season last year to now going to the D10 championship, it's huge and I'm just so grateful for this team and everything that's happened."
Everything that happened, of course, included the winning drive that could have been derailed by a single miscue.
"That's kind of been our season, too," Mathewson said. "Our backs have been against the wall and we're coming from last place last year. Throughout our season and throughout our last couple of years we've had lots of things go wrong at the wrong time. It was about time our luck fell in for us."
"We had a huge game plan going for this game," Jean-Gaston said. "We knew that with all the motion and all the reverses going we could get some big plays and they actually worked to get us down there."
Centennial was up 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, 14-7 at halftime and 17-7 at the end of the third quarter. They kicked a single in the fourth quarter to put the Royals in the position of having to get a touchdown to win it. A late field goal by Ross wouldn't be enough to send the game to overtime.
"We were thinking that we just had to go and get a field goal, but when they got that it was huge because we had to march the ball the whole field," Mathewson said. "We still wanted to win because we didn't want to get into a shootout with that kicker (Lane)."
"We always knew that we could do it," Jean-Gaston said. "Give us a chance and we're going to take that chance and make something out of it."
The winning touchdown was Jean-Gaston's second of the game while Copeland Frasson had dove into the endzone for Ross's other touchdown. Max Nixon converted all three.
Quarterback Daniel Brown and receiver Drake Davis had the touchdowns for Centennial and Ben Lane kicked a field goal, two converts and a single.
St. James 17 Guelph CVI 14
"What a football game," St. James coach Colin Malone said. "I have to be honest. We always believed we could do this, we could win a big game. We just had a hard time doing it this year, but we believed and today it finally came together and we won. I'm so proud of these guys. We did believe we could do this, we just had to bring it together and we did it today."
With Ethan Berry at QB replacing Tomas who suffered a shoulder injury in the regular season-ending game last Saturday against, the Lions didn't wait as long to take the lead.
"What a tribute to him and to Ethan who stepped in and did what he did," Malone said. "He's unflappable, he's steady and he led the team. As much as we missed Jakob, Ethan stepped up and did what he needed to do today. I'm really proud of him."
As well as replacing Tomas in last week's 42-7 loss to Centennial, the Lions had to rebuild their confidence at the practices leading into the semifinal match.
"It took a couple of days," Malone said. "It took Monday and Tuesday to kind of reset and get back to where we needed to be. But we've always said that you put the week behind and you've got one football game. In the playoffs, it's one football game. Today was one football game and we won it and now we find ourselves back where we were last year."
Friday, the Lions went ahead by 10 points in the third quarter, then held the Gaels to a touchdown in the fourth to claim the win in the penalty-filled game.
GCVI led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter before the Lions tied it 7-7 by halftime. St. James added a touchdown and a field goal in the third quarter.
Dylan Magee and Owen Ellis scored the TDs for the Lions while Cameron Ross kicked a field goal and two converts.
Ben Boddy and Rhys Collins collected the touchdowns for GCVI and Gabe Magyar-Santen added the two converts.


Henry Turk was born to Charles and Magdelen Turk about 1838, possibly in Seneca, Ontario New York. Charles was born about 1799 somewhere in New York. His wife was born 5 years later. Charles appears to us in 1830 living in Smithfield-Madison New York.
The first true record we have of Henry comes from the 1850 census for Constantia, Oswego New York, on the north western shores of Lake Oneida. Interestingly, Henry and sister Martha are shown living with a 22 year old Peter Turck,27 year old Jonathan Turck, new settlers to the area. A map of the area from about that time lists Peter as the owner of a substantial parcel of property. Just east of that property a second smaller parcel is listed also apparently belonging to Peter Turck just west of what today is Martin Road. Charles, Henry's father likely leased or worked the land for Peter.
Martin's Road today facing Lake Oneida, about 4 miles away. Charles Turk worked a parcel of land just to the right in this image. Note the rocky ground.
Henry was born amid the financial panic of 1837. Families w ere devastated in an ever deepening recession. Men were thrown out of work, homes, farms and fortunes lost overnight. Factories and businesses shuttered. It would last the first 6 years of Henry's life. It is possible that the devastation wrought by those years may have led to the family's westward movement, driven perhaps for work on the waterways, and then the railroads as the country expanded west.

East York is a former municipality within Toronto, Ontario, Canada. From 1967 to 1998, it was officially the Borough of East York, a semi-autonomous borough within the upper-tier municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The borough was dissolved in 1998 when it was amalgamated with the other lower-tier municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto to form the new "megacity" of Toronto. Prior to its amalgamation, East York was Canada's last remaining borough.
It is separated by the Don River from the former City of Toronto. Traditional East York is southeast of the river, and the neighbourhoods of Leaside, Bennington Heights and densely populated Thorncliffe Park are northwest of the river. The heart of East York is filled with middle-class and working-class homes.
East York was originally part of York Township, Ontario. Following the incorporation of the Township of North York in 1922, York Township was divided by Toronto, Leaside and North Toronto. With the rapid growth that followed the opening of the Bloor-Danforth (Prince Edward) Viaduct in 1918, the residents of the eastern half of York Township (as an exclave of the western half) felt they had been neglected by the township when it came to roads, sewers and other municipal services. Left with the option to either join the City of Toronto or branch out on its own, 448 East Yorkers voted to incorporate a new township, while 102 voted to amalgamate with Toronto. The Township of East York was incorporated on January 1, 1924 with a population of 19,849. The western half of York Township retained its name.
East York was originally populated by working-class English people who valued the opportunity to own small homes of their own, with front lawns and back gardens. Many had immigrated from Lancashire and Yorkshire. In 1961, 71.7% of the population identified themselves as having British origins.
In the late 1940s, after World War II, East York became home to many returning veterans and their families. Many inexpensive homes were built, including the houses around Topham Park, by the government, to house the returning veterans and the baby boomers. The local government was both socially conscious and frugal, fitting the residents' self-image of East York as filled with supportive neighbours and non-government organizations.[citation needed]
Post-war bungalows built in East York after World War II.
For many years, East York did not allow the serving of alcoholic beverages in any restaurants, etc. The result was a heavy concentration of alcohol-serving restaurants and bars on Danforth Avenue, the main street in the city of Toronto running east-west just south of East York. The prohibition of serving alcohol was eliminated in the 1970s.[1]
The borough of East York was established in 1967 through the amalgamation of the former township of East York and the former town of Leaside. Leaside was a planned industrial and residential community. East York has over the years been a residential enclave for senior citizens, as the original owners from the 1940s age and as younger families move out to suburbs to live in larger houses. East York had its own fire department with three stations, which are still in operation today under the combined Toronto Fire Services. Recently, rapid and accelerated gentrification has changed many neighbourhoods. Many one-story bungalows have added second floors, and many shops have been converted to more upscale shops. Canada's only borough, East York was semi-autonomous within the greater municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
In 1998, Metro Toronto and its constituent municipalities were dissolved and replaced by the new "megacity" of Toronto. East York's last mayor was Michael Prue who went on to become city councillor for East York, and then a Member of Provincial Parliament for Beaches—East York in 2001. Between 2002 and 2005, the East York Civic Centre's "True Davidson Council Chamber" was used to hold the Toronto Computer Leasing Inquiry/Toronto External Contracts Inquiry.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many residents of East York stood up against illegal rent increases. This came in the form of protests,[2] rent strikes, and community organizing.[3]
East York is located not far from the mouth of the Don River. The municipality borders Scarborough to the east, Old Toronto to the west, and North York to the north. East York is located north of Danforth Avenue between the Don River and Victoria Park Avenue.

East York's population was 115,185 in 2001.[4] By the 2006 census, the population had dropped slightly (−2.7%), to 112,054.[nb 1]
Crescent Town is home to a number of residents who immigrated to Canada.
Since the 1970s, the population composition has changed from predominantly British, as East York has become a major arrival point for immigrants, many of whom have established their first Canadian residence in the apartments that became plentiful in Thorncliffe Park, Crescent Town and elsewhere on or near main streets. Almost half of the population in 2001 (45.1%) was foreign-born, and of these, 49.0% had immigrated to the area between 1991 and 2001. [3] These groups include Bengalis, Indians, Pakistanis, Jamaicans, Filipinos and Sri Lankans. East York also has a well established Greek population and a growing Chinese community. In 2006 the percentage of visible minorities was 38.4%, and the percentage of immigrants was 44.4%.
The religious affiliations of the East York population are consistent with its ethnic composition. Some 63.4% of the population adheres to Christianity, with an almost even split between Catholics (23.6%) and Protestants (25.3%). Christian Orthodox and unspecified types of Christianity make up 12.0% and 2.5% respectively. The largest non-Christian religious group is Muslim, who make up 12.6% of religious adherents, followed by Hinduism (3.7%), Buddhism (1.6%), and Judaism (0.9%). A sizable percentage of the population (17.1%) has no religious affiliation. [4]
There is also Estonian House which is the unofficial Estonian Consulate in Toronto. The building houses banquets, social events, and an Estonian school.[5][6]
While English is the dominant language in the area, nearly half (42.6%) of the population reports that their first language was neither English nor French.
East York Collegiate Institute is one of several public secondary schools located in East York.
Four public school boards provide primary and secondary education for residents of East York, Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir (CSCM), Conseil scolaire Viamonde (CSV), the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). CSV and TDSB operate as secular public school boards, the former operating French first language institution, whereas the latter operated English first language institutions. The other two school boards, CSCM and TCDSB, operate as public separate school boards, the former operating French first language separate schools, the latter operating English first language separate schools.
The East York Board of Education was the former authority of English secular schools in East York, until East York was amalgamated into the City of Toronto in 1998. The Metropolitan Separate School Board managed all separate schools (English and French) until 1998, when the school board was reorganized into CSCM and TCDSB.
In addition to primary and secondary education institutions, East York is also home to a campus operated by Centennial College. The college is a post-secondary institution with campuses located throughout Toronto.
Sports[edit]
East York is home to various sports teams. The hockey teams are the Bulldogs, playing in East York Arena, Victoria Village, playing in Victoria Village arena and the Flames, playing in Leaside Memorial Community Gardens. All three leagues offer co-ed (boys and girls) entry level and competitive select hockey for various ages, being played in the North York Hockey League.[citation needed] The East York Lyndhursts represented the Canada men's national ice hockey team at the 1954 Ice Hockey World Championships.[7]
East York is home to East York Soccer, playing at East York Collegiate, Clairlea Soccer, playing at various locations and the Leaside-East Toronto Soccer Club, playing at Leaside High School and Flemingdon, who offer entry level and competitive soccer for all ages. East York is represented by East York City FC in soccer. East York is home to baseball organizations such as East York and Topham Park. East York provides entry level and AAA baseball for all ages, while Topham Park provides entry level and competitive select softball. East York is home to a provincially known figure skating club, a gymnastics club, a lawn bowling club, and a curling club. East York has a skateboarding community group, Team EY, who collaborated with the local skateboarding community to build the East York Skatepark in 2007.[8]
Leaside Memorial Community Gardens, the largest recreation centre in Leaside, provides an indoor swimming pool, an ice rink, a curling rink and a large auditorium.[citation needed]

Why all the fuzz about wire ends?
You might ask why should you even care about wire ends. You could just cramp them in and screw those suckers down, what works isn't stupid! Isn't it?
Well, let me introduce you to Ohms Law, but in a rather funny way.
What you see in this simple cartoon is the basic principle of how electrical current flows through any electrical conductor. Ohms Law basically states that a thin wire has a higher electrical resistance than a thick wire of the same material.
Now when you think about your poor un-crimped wire ends wrapped around some screw inside a terminal it is easy to imagine that since they don't form a solid object the resistance will be higher since only some of the fine wire strands will actually act as a conductor. Some of the wires just stray around and don't contribute to conduction and therefore increase the resistance.
Too much of electrical resistance leads to higher temperatures at that exact tight spot of the cartoon. If the conductor is really thin and therefore the resistance very high you have all the ingredients of a decent cable fire!
Luckily this all can be avoided with very little effort which I will explain to you in this article.

Week 20 in Mendoza – We finally start our first meetings!
It's been a long time coming, and we have really been looking forward to this day, but we finally had our first "official" meeting last Friday, and will switch to regular weekly meetings on Tuesdays starting next week! A while back were contacted by a friend called Roxana who used to attend a Vineyard church in Chile but last year moved back to Mendoza. She offered her home for us to meet where she lives with her mother and 3 children aged 4 to 12. She has only been a believer for 2 years.
Long story short, a week ago we met with her and basically just spent time praying, because she was going through a really tough time, and the Lord really did some amazing things. Afterwards we talked about possibly starting weekly meetings at her house which she gladly said yes to. Below you can see Roxana with her mom Gladys. Her children would pop in and out of the meeting as well. She has been inviting her neighbors and other relatives, and we see where she could potentially be a "Lydia" and reach her entire neighborhood.
Anyway, you may be wondering about the picture at the top. A few weeks ago we ran across this street, "La Viña", which is only a block long and about a mile from our house. I'm sure it's significant in some way.
In other news, our grandson Chael is now 2 months old but looks like he's 4 or 5 months old! He and Lisa and Sam, her husband, are doing well.
Another cool thing is that I finally got to play in a worship band last week, after 4 months! It's a church where they have hardly any musicians, and pretty close to here, so I offered to help them if they need me. Their Sunday meeting is in the evenings, which is good because we have been visiting other churches in the mornings jus to get to know the pastors and other believers in the city. It's in a very poor neighborhood and their main ministry is giving food and clothes to children in need, and through that to reach the parents. I'm playing there again this Sunday.
As far as prayer requests, we were able to get a few translating jobs recently which was great! It's amazing to think that it's June already and financially we're still doing OK. But now that we've been in the house a few months the bills are starting to come in. Karina sent a resumé to a contact at one of the local universities, to see if she can get a teaching job there. I also had an offer at a music school to teach audio classes starting in July. We're still working that one out, but it seems promising. But in other news our car is still stuck in Customs, believe it or not. It's been almost 3 months now and we're paying storage by the day! We need God to do a miracle and work in the Customs people's hearts to release it. We have done all we can.
So please keep us in your prayers. We invited our next door neighbors Oscar and Marta to dinner next week and Oscar mentioned he was given a Bible once that was printed in Tennessee but he has never read it! Our list of people we're praying for is growing longer, and longer.
Finally, this was a sad week for Argentina because the House of Representatives passed a law approving abortion (which was illegal) and now it's going to the Senate. It passed by only 4 votes too. We were really hoping and praying Argentina would break the norm, but I guess not. I even found out today they have a Planned Parenthood affiliate here who spent a lot of money (probably some of it your tax dollars) to get the law passed.
I'll be glad to show you how you can do that!
Continually praying for you both – many abundant blessings upon you and this new church!

CAN A SAFE HAVEN BE FOUND ON THE SURFACE OF A DEVASTATED POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE WORLD?
There was no place on earth. No orphans, wandering toddlers or strange children of any kind would be allowed entry to any tribe. There was insufficient sustenance left for the surviving population to allow for even the most minimal relief or tender mercy. Stray animals were to be hunted for their flesh. Outsider adults were to be treated the same as the animals, except their flesh was never to be consumed. Outsider children were to be shunned, although not directly slain. No contact or communication was to be allowed.
I am not a reader of sci-fi. However, I became so engrossed inside this book, I did not want to come home. I lived in Star Black's shoes. This was one of the most engaging books I have read in a long time. Kudos to James Strauss. And yes, I have an autographed book. Thank you Mr. Strauss!


Jurors didn't accept a 61-year-old Jacksonville man's account that he accidentally shot a neighbor in the eye finding him guilty of second-degree murder, according to the State Attorney's Office.
Frank Antonio Cameron also was convicted of possession of a gun by a felon in the 2016 shooting death of 19-year-old Marvin Levi Smith Jr.
Officers were called to the 1100 block of East 15th Street that Feb. 6 where Cameron was crying and hysterical as he told them the shooting was an accident. He had called Smith over to help him figure out how to operate the safety, he said.
But during the trial jurors learned Cameron, a seven-time felon, had threatened to kill Smith two days earlier in a dispute about a bicycle, the State Attorney's Office said. Investigators said Cameron then invited Smith to his house to help him with a revolver that he had received from a friend for protection because of "bad things happening in the neighborhood," then killed him.

I have dry skin and I am always looking for something to make my skin soft. I discovered wonderful 100% Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter and it does wonders to my skin. This is a must try product. Most lotions contain a small amount Shea Butter but Beauty By Shea sells 100% Pure, Unrefined, Organic African Shea Butter that is imported from Ghana, Africa.
So what is Shea Butter? Shea Butter is a creamy-colored fatty substance made from the nuts of karite nut trees that grow wild in the Savannah regions of West and East Africa. This wonderful butter looks and feels like butter to me and it makes you skin so soft. The Shea Butter is almost solid and you take a small amount( pea size) and warm it up in the palm of your hand. This softens the butter and allows it to be rubbed into your skin, a little goes a long way. The butter starts out greasy but quickly absorbs into you skin, giving you soft skin. Shea Butter is rich in vitamins A, E, F & K which nourish your skin to make it beautiful and moisturized. You can also use the Shea Butter in your hair for a great leave in conditioner. I used this Butter on my dry cracked feet and they felt so much better. The Shea Butter right away took away the dryness and my feet looked so much better. I included before and after photos.
Beauty By Shea Shea Butter is made into 1 or half pound bricks that are placed in a plastic bag and then package into heat sealed bags. This preserves the natural richness and purity of the Shea Butter. It is 100% Shea butter with nothing added! If you live in a hot place like I do, the Shea Butter will soften but putting it in the fridge will restore it to a more desirable texture. I love my Shea Butter and received a pound from a different company a couple of months ago. I use it every night and my container still has 3/4 of the product in it. Trust me a little Shea Butter goes a long way.
I love using lotions with Shea Butter, but have never thought to use Shea Butter itself. I need to get some before the cool weather sets in though since my skin will dry out almost instantly.
Wow what a big difference. I have never thought of using this.
my feet could sure use that too.
I don't have dry skin but I do love shea butter, This looks like it works great.
I use Shea Butter in my hair, and it has the same moisturizing effects.
Might have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing it.
How does this one smell? The natural Shea Butter I tried kind of smelled like old tobacco and made me not wanting to use it.
It has a nutty smell to me.
I love shea butter. It really works well on my dry skin.
I didn't know you could just buy the shea butter. I know lotions with it work great.


Should Special Counsel Robert Mueller be fired?
At least two House Republicans, Matt Gaetz and Andy Biggs, are calling for that action, arguing the investigation has been compromised by a bias against President Trump.
On "Fox & Friends," former Secret Service officer Dan Bongino was asked that question. He responded that he still wants to see the results of the Justice Department inspector general's inquiry into how the Hillary Clinton email investigation was handled.
The probe by Michael Horowitz turned up a trove of anti-Trump text messages between two romantically-involved FBI agents. One of the agents, Peter Strzok, worked on the email case and was later removed from Mueller's team.
Bongino said the biggest question, in his view, is whether the Trump-Russia dossier was used as the basis for surveillance of the Trump team.
"Rod Rosenstein and Andy McCabe at the FBI know the answer and can they clear it up today, but they won't. And that should disturb everyone," he said.
Brian Kilmeade asked why Mueller's investigation seems to be ignoring Russian ties among Democrat-linked individuals, like Tony Podesta.
"Unfortunately, justice right now is blind to Democrats," said Bongino, adding Podesta was a close associate of Paul Manafort, who has been indicted by Mueller.
"Almost every single player in this investigation has some level of bias. Whether it was the Strzok text messages. Whether it was Andy McCabe's wife running as a Democrat. Whether it was Jim Comey acknowledging he initiated the Special Counsel investigation by leaking information. This thing has stunk from the beginning."
Meantime, Yahoo! News reports that Mueller's team is "pursuing new leads, interrogating new witnesses and collecting a mountain of new evidence, including subpoenaed bank records and thousands of emails from the campaign and the Trump transition."
