David Finch writes an essay, "Somewhere Inside, a Path to Empathy." It's read by Daniel Radcliffe. He stars in the upcoming Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special on Netflix
When you're in a new relationship, you're always trying to present your best self. But anyone who's been in a relationship for awhile knows that you can't keep the act up forever.
David Finch's essay can be read below:
IT wasn't working, any of it. Our third year of marriage threatened to be our last.
IT wasn't working, any of it. Our third year of marriage threatened to be our last. I'd become cynical and withdrawn, obsessive and preoccupied, dismissive and unhelpful.
"I don't know when things got bad," Kristen said, wiping away tears. "I feel like I've lost you and I don't know what will bring you back."
In reality she hadn't lost me. She'd found me. The facade of semi-normalcy I'd struggled to maintain was falling away, revealing the person I'd been since childhood. I didn't even know what was wrong with me, though my wife, a speech pathologist who works with autistic children, had her suspicions. Even so, it would be another two years before she would put all the pieces together and attach a name to what was ruining our marriage: Asperger's syndrome.
During Kristen's first few years of practice, she worked only with severely autistic children. But as she expanded her clientele to include higher-functioning kids, she started learning more about Asperger's syndrome, a comparatively mild autism spectrum disorder characterized by egocentricity and impairments in communication and socialization. That's when she started seeing parallels to my behaviors.
One evening after we put the kids to bed, Kristen approached me with a smile, wrapped me in a hug and asked me to come downstairs to her office. First she allowed me to complete my 8:30 p.m. routine, fully aware of how essential it is to my peace of mind: circle the downstairs, note which lights are on, and stare out the front window, visually lining up the neighbors' rooftops. I finally joined her at her desk, where she sat at the computer, ready to administer an online Asperger's evaluation.
Looking somehow clinical in her pajamas, Kristen instructed me to answer the questions honestly. No problem, since I'm honest to a fault when I choose to speak to people. For the next two hours, she led me through questions that at times had us both laughing with recognition:
• Do you often talk about your special interests whether or not others seem interested? Who's not interested in cleaning-product slogans?
• Do you rock back and forth or side to side for comfort, to calm yourself, when excited or overstimulated? Where's the hidden camera?
• Do you get frustrated if you can't sit in your favorite seat? Friendships have ended over this.
And on it went.
During the years Kristen and I dated, I was on my best behavior. When I slipped, she seemed to find my eccentricity endearing. I remember her laughter upon discovering dozens of pictures I had taken of myself to see what I might look like to other people at any given moment: me watching TV; me about to sneeze; me on the toilet, looking pensive.
She loved the story of how I took an emergency leave from work to boil my glasses after they had fallen from my shirt pocket in a men's room stall. She found it pitifully charming when I would stand alone at parties, kind of dancing, or follow her from room to room, unable to engage with anyone else.
That's just how it goes with Asperger's. Many of us who have the disorder, identified by the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger in 1944, could probably pass for normal if it weren't for three defining characteristics: egocentricity, odd and sometimes repetitive behaviors, and an obsession with a special interest.
The obsession tends to make us experts in strange subjects (for me, motorist regulations, the characteristics of sounds, and the behavior of cattle, among others), with an enthusiasm for discussing them at length at cocktail parties, oblivious to audience interest. In my case, a successful cocktail party requires scripting my conversations in advance.
On a friendly level, and for short periods of time, I was able to sustain a wonderful version of myself. A casual girlfriend might have dismissed my compulsion to arrange balls of shredded napkin into symmetrical shapes as being idiosyncratic, or even artistic. But Kristen was living with me, and she had become increasingly skilled in assessing autism spectrum disorders. There was no longer anywhere for Hyde to hide.
She started observing my unusual behaviors: rigid adherence to routines, unusual reactions to social stimuli, conditional regard for the needs of others, as I became less capable of hiding them. Before long, my endearing quirks multiplied and became exponentially more annoying until eventually her life was flooded with my neuroses.
As I exited yet another gas station without getting gas, she asked, "Because it has an odd number of pumps?"
At a Cubs game, after I'd become overly attached to a friendly group of guys sitting near us, she said: "Yes, they were fun to talk to, but I don't know if those guys want to be your friends. No, you may not ask them."
And annoyed by my constant questioning about how long the Thanksgiving feast at Aunt Deb's might last this year, she snapped: "Why does it matter how long the dinner will be? I have no clue. None. Get over it."
Ashamed by my seeming insanity, I withdrew until our life together became long car rides without conversations or laughter, silent evenings watching TV in the same room but feeling worlds apart, months without any real connection.
But that day in Kristen's office was a watershed moment for me, and ultimately for us. As she continued her evaluation, I laughed and cried as the questions so perfectly revealed me. My score: 155 out of 200. That meant, as Kristen put it, "a whole lot of Asperger's" an armchair diagnosis that would later be seconded by a health-care professional.
I'd spent two decades trying to understand why I didn't fit in. Now I had my answer. As a control, Kristen evaluated herself. Her score: 8.
With the data on the table, it was obvious. But naming my problem was one thing. Fixing it was something else altogether. How does someone with Asperger's rid himself of the very coping mechanisms that allow for day-to-day functioning?
Autism spectrum disorders are not cured with medication, but their associated behaviors can be worked with. What I needed initially were communication skills and a sense of empathy, neither of which, in my case, had been factory-installed. Fortunately, I was living with a highly qualified therapist with a strong motivation to help. Her objective: re-invent our marriage. Her first mission: figure out how to get me to communicate.
I know: a lot of husbands could use a lesson in this, right? For us, however, this went way beyond the typical husband/wife dynamic. Whenever my routine got disrupted, or I was made to do something that didn't interest me, I would shut down, unable to engage in any constructive way. To get me to overcome this, Kristen started pushing me to my breaking point, backing off just before I was about to snap. If she thought I could handle 10 minutes of a TV show I didn't pick, but 20 minutes would send me over the edge into meltdown, she would change the channel after 18 minutes.
She also stopped allowing me to swallow my frustrations. I would be sitting on the couch, upset about, say, the messy house, and I would hear: "Come on, Dave. Out with it."
"Your jaw is clenched and you haven't spoken all night."
Minutes would pass as she stared at me.
"All right, damn it, look, this place is a mess! Anytime I need to walk anywhere I'm stepping on books and clothes and toys and there's piles of laundry on the chairs that need to be folded. I don't see how this is ever going to work if we can't keep a clean house."
So we worked on how to vent constructively, a process that began with her actually having to explain to me why my insolent behavior might upset people. Positive changes " me talking reasonably about a problem" were rewarded with her newfound joy in being in my company, which is what I craved more than anything.
A few months later, the same conversation sounded more like this:
"What's the matter, Dave?"
"The house is such a mess, you know? It's frustrating. Doesn't it seem like we're barely able to keep a handle on things?"
"Well, sure. We have two toddlers and you work really late sometimes. I can't keep them entertained, educated, on schedule and keep up with the housework. Something's got to give, and I prefer it not be my time with them."
"Fair enough." Then something occurred to me. "I can help if that's what you need." Duh.
"That would be great. Actually, you could have picked up this room instead of sitting on the couch, pouting."
"Right." ("Pick up messes. Don't pout," I wrote in my Journal of Best Practices.)
Acquiring empathy seemed a taller order, given that my Aspergerish point of reference is myself in every circumstance. (Someone just slipped and killed himself in the men's room? I see. How long until they get him out of there so I can go?) But I've learned that people can develop empathy, even if by rote. With diligent practice, it can evolve from a contrived acknowledgment of other people's feelings to the real thing.
To that end, I started asking Kristen how her day was and then paying more attention to her body language than her words. (Occasionally I would have to ask if I was reading her correctly.) If I sensed she was tired, I would take the kids out so she could have quiet time. If she seemed really burned out, I would offer to give her a foot massage, or to just listen. Soon these started to feel like real rather than manufactured emotional responses.
WE'RE not out of the socially crippling woods yet, and we probably never will be, at least when it comes to my fixations and repetitive behaviors. Just the other day Kristen heard me reciting shampoo ingredients in the shower and quacking when I got to the unpronounceable "methylchloroisothiazolinone" (the two short quacks reinforced the rhythm of the list, and frankly, sounded hilarious).
But over all I'm a good patient, and we've made steady progress. We've even reached a therapeutic milestone. When something is wrong, Kristen is able to whisper to me those three magic words: "Can we talk?" And instead of shutting down and freezing her out with silent brooding, I'm able to provide an equally magical response: "Yes."

DTG2Go Plans Eighth Digital Printing Facility Amid Revenue Surge

DTG2Go, the direct-to-garment printing subsidiary of activewear and lifestyle apparel producer Delta Apparel Inc., plans to open a new printing facility in Phoenix following a surge in revenue growth during the coronavirus lockdown.
The new facility, expected to open in August, will help to meet increased demand for garments produced at on-demand manufacturing facilities, according to DTG2Go, which saw April revenue jump 25 percent year over year followed by a 25 percent bump in May.
Along with expanding DTG2Go's printing capacity, the facility's distribution capabilities will also allow the company to provide one-day shipping to 60 percent of the United States, said Delta Group president Deborah Merrill.
"The additional equipment for the new Phoenix location provides production capacity to meet the impressive demand we are experiencing," Merrill said in a statement, pointing to DTG2Go's history of double-digit operating profits.
DTG2Go is augmenting its printer count by 10 percent with the purchase of eight new Kornit Atlas printers for the Phoenix facility, which has the capacity to operate 16 such machines.
"We believe customer adoption rates to the innovative, on-demand model will accelerate in the upcoming year, and we expect the addition of our eighth facility, further expanding our capacity and reach to consumers, will further solidify our leadership position in the market," Merrill said.
The Phoenix facility marks the eighth digital printing location under the DTG2Go banner. Currently, the company operates facilities in Miami, Dallas, Cranbury, N.J, Clearwater, Fla., Reno, Nev., Storm Lake, Iowa and Fayetteville, N.C.
DTG2Go's manufacturing and distribution facilities specialize in producing and shipping custom graphic products to the U.S. and more than 100 countries around the world, over 30 percent of which is printed on Delta-branded apparel.
"We are the only digital print supplier in the world that can offer a seamless, vertically-integrated solution, utilizing our proprietary software and internal supply chain to offer a fully-decorated, on-demand product shipped directly to the consumer, eliminating non-value-added costs and reducing the risk of third-party supply chains," Merrill said. "We see this as a tremendous competitive advantage."
DTG2Go says it has drawn an influx of new shoppers in the wake of the pandemic. Around 40 percent of the increase in orders over the current quarter have come from new customers on the platform, the company said.

Summer isn't even over yet, but with Labor Day weekend upon us, there's already a little bit of fall in the air. Shadows are growing longer, nights are cooler and soon, instead of picnicking, we'll be tailgating.
There's another September tradition worth mentioning: Oktoberfest, the German celebration of beer and all the wonderful food that accompanies it. Everyone loves Oktoberfest. Who doesn't enjoy drinking beer and eating sausages? (Not that we really need an excuse.) But why is Oktoberfest celebrated in September instead of its namesake month, October? Officially, Oktoberfest was first celebrated October 12 – 17, 1810, to celebrate the marriage of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria. Unofficially, Oktoberfest had been celebrated since the fifteenth century when it became customary to empty all the beer barrels for re-use in the upcoming brewing season. What better reason to drink up all that leftover beer?
Within a few years, Oktoberfest was moved forward one month to mid-September, presumably to take advantage of warmer weather. Since then, the celebration has taken off and while Munich, Germany is considered to be the center of the Oktoberfest universe, it's happily celebrated around the world.
Whatever the reason, we're also happy to share in the festivities by presenting this hearty dish with roots in traditional German cuisine. Sausage, beer and mushrooms figure prominently in German cookery and are three of our favorite food groups, so why not enjoy them all together?
What sets this dish apart is the inclusion of dried mushrooms, simmered along with the sausages in dark beer and the liquid used in their reconstitution. Our preferred mushroom for this recipe is Boletus edulis, a meaty, intensely flavorful mushroom that grows around the world, probably best known by the Italian name porcini. Porcini literally means "little pigs," apparently so-called for the resemblance to a group of fat little pigs happily rooting across the forest floor. While this mushroom is eaten fresh in season, drying both preserves it without the need for refrigeration, and intensifies the deep, rich mushroomy flavor even more.
Not a bad name, in fact, for a handsome and delicious mushroom that is indeed fit for a king.
Soak the mushrooms for 20 – 30 minutes in a bowl with 2 cups of hot (not boiling) water. When they are soft and pliable, drain them, reserving the soaking liquid. Rinse them gently, but thoroughly in cool running water. Drain again, pat dry and chop coarsely. Set the mushrooms aside momentarily.
Allow the mushroom soaking liquid to stand for a while to let any sediment settle. Carefully decant or pour off the liquid, leaving the sediment behind. Alternatively, filter the water in which the mushrooms have soaked through a strainer lined with a paper towel or coffee filter. Set aside.
Heat a pan large enough to hold all the sausages in a single layer over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil and the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and softened, about 5 minutes.
Poke a few holes in the sausage with the tines of a sharp fork to keep them from bursting as they cook. Add the sausage to the pan with the onions, turning to brown well on all sides.
Pour in the dark beer and add the thyme sprigs, then reduce the heat so that the beer continues to bubble at a gentle simmer. Turn the sausages from time to time.
When the beer has evaporated completely, remove the sausages from the pan and set aside. Add the chopped reconstituted porcini and the mushroom soaking liquid. Turn up the heat until it begins to simmer, then reduce slightly to keep it at a low, gentle simmer.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated. Return the sausages to the pan and simmer for a few minutes, scraping up any tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Remove the pan from the heat and tip it slightly, skimming off the excess fat, if any. Serve the sausages over polenta, mashed potatoes, or rice, with the porcini mixture spooned over the top.


Using illegal methods, Colombia's rightist Inspector General removed Bogotá's popularly elected mayor from office, throwing the future of the vital peace talks with the political guerrilla movement, the FARC-EP, and the future of democracy in Colombia into question.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights had granted "precautionary measures" to Bogotá's popularly elected Mayor Gustavo Petro on March 18 and solicited the Colombian government to not remove the elected mayor from office pending further proceedings under the American Convention on Human Rights.
Unlike the United States, Colombia is a signatory to this Convention. The IACHR found that the possibility of the violation of the political rights of Petro, and consequently the political rights of the population of Bogotá, was imminent, and precautionary measures were warranted to protect against violations of the Convention.
The Inspector General of Colombia Alejandro Ordóñez found Petro unfit for office due to the fact that he tried to bring Bogotá's trash collection services back under public control in order to ensure lower prices and better services for the city's inhabitants. There were also plans to introduce recycling services. Petro petitioned the IACHR for protection and relief.
A group of capitalists who were profiting from the city's trash collection complained to Ordóñez about the plans to remunicipalize these services. The Inspector General subsequently opened an investigation of Petro. On Dec. 13, Ordóñez, who has not been elected by anyone, declared the poularly elected Petro unfit for office for, among other crimes, interfering with the right to contract.
Banning Petro from office by the Inspector General is one method that the ruling Colombian oligarchy has used to remove leftist leaders. This procedure was previously used against the popular Afro-Colombian Senator Piedad Córdoba. Ordóñez is also reportedly currently investigating progressive Representative Ivan Vargas.
Another method of removing popular leaders in Colombia has been the use of terror and assassination. In the 1980s the Unión Patriótica presented an electoral challenge to the ruling oligarchy's hold on power. A genocidal campaign of terror and assassination ensued where between 4,000 and 5,000 of its leaders and followers were assassinated, including two presidential candidates. Thousands more were forced into exile.
More recently 31 leaders of the popular organization, the Patriotic March, have been assassinated since its founding in April 2012. Assassination, death threats and arbitrary arrests continue to plague popular and leftist leaders. Meanwhile, military aid from the United States continues to pour into Colombia to prop up the status quo.
President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia had previously stated that if IACHR were to prohibit the firing of Petro, he would respect that decision. Under Article 93 in the Colombian Constitution, previously ratified international human rights treaties are to be given precedence in the Colombian legal system. Therefore a decision of IACHR should be binding on the Colombian government. Hypocritically, and in alliance with other sectors of the oligarchy, President Santos has refused to veto the removal of Petro, since the precautionary measures were issued, which means Petro is now out of office.
Ivan Márquez, a spokesperson for Colombia's largest guerrilla group, the FARC-EP (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia-People's Army), stated that the "absurd decision" to remove Petro would have "a very negative impact" on the peace talks. This FARC leader spoke of a loss of confidence in the talks due to the arbitrary and undemocratic dismissal.
The FARC-EP and the Colombian government have been in peace talks since October 2012 in an attempt to end Colombia's 50-year civil war. At these talks in Havana, the FARC has consistently demanded that there must be social change in the country to remove the conditions that led to armed conflict. The peace talks are supported by an overwhelming majority of the country's population, with multiple public opinion polls showing well over 60 percent in favor of the talks.
The talks have a multipoint agenda, with one of them political participation. The decision to remove an elected official strikes at the heart of this agenda item as the FARC and many other political sectors are seeking wider political involvement with security guarantees for the left as part of any comprehensive peace agreement.
In the face of this setback, however, the Colombian people continue to mobilize. March 15-17 saw the Agrarian Summit where plans were discussed to organize another agrarian strike to defend peasant farmers against the devastation that will result from the recently imposed free trade agreements. Demands for a constituent assembly to formulate a new, more progressive and inclusive constitution are heard around the country. Despite this undemocratic removal of Bogotá's mayor, a struggle for a new, more just Colombia continues.

David Takes Consecrated Bread
1 Samuel 21:1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"
1 Samuel 21:2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, 'Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.'
1 Samuel 21:3 Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."
1 Samuel 21:4 The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."
1 Samuel 21:5 David answered the priest and said to him, "Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"
1 Samuel 21:6 So the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place when it was taken away.
1 Samuel 21:7 Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.
1 Samuel 21:8 David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."
1 Samuel 21:9 Then the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."
1 Samuel 21:10 Then David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:11 But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"
1 Samuel 21:12 David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:13 So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard.
1 Samuel 21:14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?
1 Samuel 21:15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?"

The Oswego County Health Department is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture again this year in a rabies vaccine distribution program to prevent the spread of raccoon rabies in New York State.
Planes flying over rural northern Oswego County will drop packets of rabies vaccine between Friday, Aug. 28 and Thursday, Sept. 3. The days and times of the rabies bait drops will depend on weather conditions.
Aircraft will depart from Clinton County Airport in Plattsburgh.
The Health Department staff will assist by placing bait packets near dumpsters, streams and wooded areas in the villages of Pulaski, Sandy Creek, and Lacona.
Oral rabies vaccine baits are coated with a fishmeal attractant and are packaged in one-inch square cubes or two-inch plastic sachets.
Although the vaccine is not harmful to pets or humans, the bait packets should not be disturbed.
As a precautionary measure, residents are advised to avoid touching any bait and to watch their pets to make sure they avoid them as well. Some pets have gotten an upset stomach because of the high fat content in the fishmeal polymer bait coating. If owners discover a pet eating a bait packet, they should not risk being bitten or touching the bait by attempting to remove it from the animal's mouth. According to the USDA, although it has happened rarely in other states, the vaccine can potentially get into a person's system and may cause a reaction.
For more information or to report contact with a bait packet, call the Oswego County Health Department at 349-3564 or 1-800-596-3200, ext. 3564, or the New York State Department of Health at 1-877-722-6725. For more information about the oral rabies vaccine program, call the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services office at 1-866-4 USDA-WS (1-866-487-3297) or visit the Web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage/oral_rabies/.

Q: $a+bi\mid n \implies a^2 + b^2\mid n$ if $(a,b)=1$ This seems very simple, but I have not been able to come up with an answer to it.

Suppose $a+bi \mid n$ in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$, where $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$ with $(a,b)=1$. Prove that $a^2 + b^2 \mid n$ in $\mathbb{Z}$.

My attempt was: $a+bi \mid n \implies \overline{a+bi}\mid n$ (otherwise $n$ is not an integer), and if we have that $(a+bi,a-bi)=1$ (or a unit) in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$, then by unique factorization this implies that $(a+bi)(a-bi)\mid n$. However, I found it difficult to prove $(a,b)=1$ in $\mathbb{Z} \implies$ $(a+bi,a-bi)=1$ in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$.
Does anyone have a nice solution to this? Any solution is welcome.
For additional context, this question came up as I was trying to prove that $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(a-ib) \cong \mathbb{Z}/(a^{2}+b^{2})\mathbb{Z}$ when $a,b$ are coprime in the integers. A way of doing this using natural injections is given in Quotient ring of Gaussian integers, where there are many very good answers. One way is to use the first isomorphism theorem with the canonical map $\mathbb Z \to \mathbb Z[i]/(a - i b)$, and I need to prove that the kernel of that map is $\langle a^2+b^2 \rangle$. In every answer I saw on this, the solution skips over that step, making me suspect that there's something very simple I'm missing.

A: Some $c,\,d\in\Bbb Z$ satisfy $(a+bi)(c+di)=n$. For this to be real, $c+di=k(a-bi)$ for some $k\in\Bbb Q$, whence $k(a^2+b^2)=n$. Now we just need $k\in\Bbb Z$, which follows from $(a,\,b)=1$.

Covid-19 vaccine being rolled out in Ayrshire
NHS Ayrshire & Arran received its first delivery of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine yesterday and today (Tuesday 8 December) sees the start of the vaccination programme that will be delivered over the coming weeks and months.
The programme will follow the independent advice received from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on the prioritisation for receiving the vaccine.
The first to be vaccinated will be our vaccinators.
As the first eligible groups are prioritised and vaccinated it remains vitally important that everyone continues to follow FACTS and the Scottish Government guidance to protect themselves and others from the virus.
John Burns, NHS Ayrshire & Arran Chief Executive said:
"We are delighted to have received our first delivery of the vaccine into NHS Ayrshire & Arran and to have started our vaccination programme today. Delivering a vaccination programme of this size will be challenging, however we have planned carefully to ensure we have an effective programme to deliver vaccination in the weeks and months ahead.
"As we follow the JCVI prioritised cohorts we will ensure timely communication at each stage of the programme.
"I realise how challenging these last months have been, however I would ask that we all continue to follow the FACTS advice to ensure we continue to protect ourselves, our families and friends."

The Oltipraz Chemoprevention Trial (Dr. Thomas Kensler, Principal Investigator) was a phase II randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate weekly and daily administrations of oltipraz for reducing urinary and/or serum aflatoxin biomarkers compared to placebo. The study's goals were to define a dose and schedule of oltipraz for reducing levels of validated aflatoxin biomarkers, and to characterize dose-limiting toxicities. In 1995, 234 adults from Qidong, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China were enrolled and subsequently followed in a Phase II Chemoprevention Trial. Healthy eligible individuals, including those infected with hepatitis B virus, were randomized to receive either 125 mg oltipraz daily, 500 mg oltipraz weekly, or placebo. Blood and urine specimens were collected to monitor toxicities and evaluate biomarkers over the 8 week intervention and subsequent 8 week follow-up periods. Among the unique aspects of this trial were the synchronous follow- up schedule, daily observance of the administration of all medications, timely international data transference, and the use of biomarkers as outcomes. The methodologic aspects of the clinical trial have been published under the leadership of Dr. Jacobson. [LP Jacobson, et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 1997;6:257-265].
Confirm the maximum safe dose of 500 mg oltipraz weekly as defined during the Phase IIA trial. Collectively, these results will provide several pivotal insights for the ongoing development of chemopreventive agents.
First, this clinical trial should clarify the status of oltipraz as a high priority chemopreventive agent by providing a reasonable estimate of its efficacy in a high-risk population, as well as providing further information regarding its pharmacodynamic action and dose-limiting side effects. Second, this trial will provide a rigorous assessment of the usefulness of modulating expression of carcinogen detoxication enzymes as a general strategy for chemoprevention in humans.

The chrome 2 litre foam fire extinguisher is perfect for use on oil or fuel fires, with its clean finish and mounting bracket it will not look out of place in any classic cart or motor sport vehicle. Aqueous Film Forming Foam fire extinguishers (AFFF) utilize foam that will smother a fire by cutting off the air it needs to continue to burn and we all know that a fire needs oxygen to continue to burn so, by removing this element from the area, the fire will go out.
Foam is ideal for fires fueled by flammable liquids and are commonly seen in motor sports, which makes them perfect for carrying in a vehicle everyday. This 2 ltr foam fire extinguisher comes with a bracket that will mount the unit in a garage as well as in a car so it can always be available.
With proper maintenance and care you can count on this extinguisher to operate perfectly for five years and, as it's made next to Chubb Fire extinguishers, it can be serviced easily by any companies in the industry.

National Fraud Initiative Report 2018
The Cabinet Office has produced the National Fraud Initiative Report 2018, the headline figure of which is that the National Fraud Initiative (NFI), the Cabinet Office's data matching service, has enabled participating organisations to prevent and detect over £300 million UK fraud and error in the period April 2016 to March 2018, a rise from £222 million in 2014/15.
The NFI compares sets of data, such as the payroll of a company with benefit records, allowing fraudulent claims and payments to be identified. Between April 2016 and March 2018, the NFI worked with over 1,200 public and private sector organisations.
The report highlights 4 NFI products:
National – Data is collected from organisations across the UK for national fraud detection batch matching. Matches are accessed through a secure web application.
AppCheck – Fraud prevention tool that helps organisations to stop fraud at the point of application, thereby reducing administrative and future investigation costs.
ReCheck – Flexible batch matching tool that allows an organisation to repeat national batch matching at a time to suit them.
FraudHub – this enables groups of organisations to regularly screen more than one dataset with the aim of detecting errors in processing payments, or benefits and services.
Looking at the figures in a housing context for England (£275.3 million of the £300 million figure) the report shows:
£5.5 million related to tenancy fraud, £25.5 million to waiting lists, and £1 million to right to buy (RTB – 4 cases);
58 social housing properties were recovered, a small increase from the 54 properties in 2014/15. The NFI use an estimate of £93,000 per property recovered based on average four year fraudulent tenancy – this includes temporary accommodation for genuine applicants; legal costs to recover property; re-let cost; and rent foregone during the void period between tenancies;
7601 false applications were removed from local authority allocation schemes during 2016/17 – over half of these applications were cancelled by one council. The NFI works on an estimate of £3,240 per case for future losses prevented as a result of removing an applicant from a list;
The NFI estimate a saving of £65,000 per RTB application withdrawn based on average house prices and the minimum right to buy discount available (this has some regional variations such as with London it is £104,000 per application withdrawn to reflect the maximum value of RTB discount available for London properties);
The Annual Fraud Indicator 2017 highlights that housing tenancy fraud costs local government £1.83 billion. This has increased from the £1.76 billion quoted in 2016;
Whilst there are 400 local authority participants in the NFI, there are just 7 Housing Associations.
The report gives 2 examples of local authority use of NFI initiatives:
Royal Borough of Greenwich – an NFI housing tenancy to housing tenancy match showed two matching tenancies between two London boroughs. Investigations in the Royal Borough of Greenwich showed their tenant had used false identity documents to gain a one bedroom flat in May 2013; claimed housing benefit; used the same documents to gain employment as a waste operative in the borough four years earlier, in October 2009 (he was no longer in that employment at the time of the investigation). The Royal Borough of Greenwich evicted the tenant from the property in February 2017 and he was prosecuted and sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on 4th October 2017 to 33 months imprisonment. In total the man had received in excess of £60,000 in employment and housing benefit payments.
Portsmouth City Council – a housing tenants to housing benefit match identified a tenant in a property owned by Portsmouth City Council. The tenant had however been claiming housing benefit in excess of £150 per week for a different property in a nearby authority area since January 2016. The match revealed the tenant had let the property from Portsmouth City Council in February 2013, but investigations found the tenant's partner had been subletting the Portsmouth property for up to two years. The council sought a prosecution in October 2017 and the property was successfully recovered.

Birko Antifoam 100 is a proprietary blend of antifoam compounds with capacity to prevent foam or kill it immediately. Birko Antifoam is unlike similar products because it works equally well in bot oil-based and water-based systems. Birko Antifoam 100 has approvals by the U.S. Department for food processing and is ideally suited for use in the brewery.
To use Birko Antifoam, we suggest start with one fluid ounce per 15-20 barrels. For the kettle, add just prior to the wort coming to boil. For the fermenter, add directly to the whirlpool halfway through knockout.
Packaging: Contact ATP Sale Representative for further information.
Brewtan B, Brewtan C and Brewtan F are 100% natural gallotannins specially designed for the brewing industry. These tannins react with the haze sensitive proteins (proteins rich in proline) and SH-group containing proteins by adsorption and precipitation. In addition to the interaction with these proteins, the Brewtan products are able to complex iron and as a consequence inhibit the Fenton oxidation reaction.
Tanal® 02 is a 100% natural gallotannin designed to have a consistent level of polymerization so that interactions between it, yeast and haze-inducing proteins in the system deliver a permanent cloud in the finished product.
Liquasil-30 is a 30% Silicon Dioxide solution. The product is designed for clarification of wort. It can also be used in maturation to improve clarity through adsorption and sedimentation of yeast.
Patco 376 is a 100% active non-silicone defoamer. Designed for use in food processing operations, Patco 376 complies with Paragraph 173.340 of Title 21 of The Code of Federal Regulations covering defoaming agents used in food processing. Patco 376 has Kosher Approval.

Polyclar 10 is a highly effective 100% PVPP beer stabilizer. It is optimized for single-use, either on its own, or in conjunction with other stabilizers. Polyclar 10 offers a very effective means of preventing non-biological haze in all types of beer. Non-biological haze formation results primarily from the hydrogen bonding between haze producing proteins and the polyphenol constituents of beer. To achieve colloidal stability, it is necessary to reduce these protein/polyphenol complexes or prevent them from forming. This can be done by reducing the problematic polyphenols, proteins or both.
Polyclar Brewbrite is a highly effective proprietary wort clarifier and PVPP beer stabilizer. It is an optimized composite of purified food grade Carrageenan and specially modified PVPP. Kappa Carrageenan, a hydrocolloid extracted from red seaweed, is very effective at reducing the size of non-microbial particles in wort: these comprise protein, polyphenol, polysaccharide and other materials. To achieve colloidal stability in beer, it is necessary to reduce these protein-polyphenol complexes, or prevent them from forming.
Polyclar Plus 730 beer stabilizer is an optimized blend of PVPP and silica xerogel. It is a single-use product offering a highly effective means of preventing non-biological haze in beer. The combined use of PVPP and silica xerogel provides a balanced stabilization of both haze producing constituents preventing the protein-polyphenol complexes from forming.
Polyclar Super R is a very effective 100% PVPP beer stabilizer. It is optimized for regeneration use, either on its own, or in conjunction with other stabilizers, offering a highly effective means of preventing non-biological haze in all types of beer. Polyclar Super R is applicable to all types of beer and helps achieve maximum shelf life in beer.
Silicon dioxide manufactured for treatment of lighter adjunct type beers. It removes specific proteins responsible for formation of chill haze. Hydrogels have a more specific adsorption for proteins typically found in adjunct beers. They have no impact on foam forming proteins, flavor or filtration throughput. Silica gels of an amorphous nature and are safe to use.
Silicon dioxide manufactured for treatment of difficult to stabilize beers. It is most commonly recommended for use on all malt beers. It removes proteins responsible for formation of chill haze. Xerogels have a wide affinity for a variety of protein complexes for exceptional results. Silica gels are of an amorphous nature and safe to use.
Adding silica sol to wort or beer results in the cross linkage of Si02 particles to form a hydrogel. Haze is formed, which then proceeds to flocculate and finally forms sediment. In the course of this flocculation process, the silicic acid of the sol is quantitatively converted into insoluble silicic acid hydrogel.
Zyme-O-F ɑ Amylase is a fermentation produced enzyme obtained from Asperillus oryzae and it can both dextrinize and saccharify starch. Meaning that it can be used for starch liquefaction and also saccharification to produce maltose and glucose.
This enzyme is obtained by fermentation from a selected strain of Aspergillus niger and is a saccharification enzyme producing from hydrolyzed starch during the production of beer. Glucoamylase can catalyze the hydrolysis of starch. It decomposes alpha-1,4 heteroside from the non-reductive end of the starch molecule so as to form glucose.
Glucoamylase can catalyze the hydrolysis of starch. It decomposes alpha-1,4 heteroside from the non-reductive end of the starch molecule so as to form glucose.
Zyme-O-HS ɑ Amylase is a fermentation produced and thermostable liquefaction enzyme obtained by fermentation from specially selected classical strain of Bacillus licheniformis. This product possesses excellent heat resistance and adaptability under lower pH and calcium ion consistency. It is applied for liquidizing in the industry of starch sugar, alcohol and beer.

I Pray For The Destruction Of The Space Industry During The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass: Richard Branson's Space Tourism Dream Crashing?
The darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day. They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go. The devils besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated,They besought Him that He would not expel them out of the country. St Thomas Aquinas

Richard Branson's Space Tourism Dream Meets Rejection From Virgin Partner
British billionaire Sir Richard Branson may have big dreams about the future of space tourism, but his potential launch partner in the U.K. is calling the idea ludicrous as the COVID-19 pandemic rattles the country's economy and worsens inequality.
Branson's Virgin Group has reportedly been looking to enlist Spaceport Cornwall, an airport in the southwestern town of Newquay, England, as the launch facility for Virgin Galactic, which plans to send tourists into suborbital space for 90-minute trips. Cornwall is already a launch partner for Branson's other space venture, Virgin Orbit, which sends satellites into Earth's orbit by attaching a small rocket to a modified Boeing 747 aircraft.
But the spaceport doesn't seem interested. At a meeting this week, leaders of the Spaceport Cornwall Council called the idea of facilitating space tourism "an abundant waste of money" and "a wrong message" to local residents, according to the British local newspaper The Falmouth Packet.
"Cornwall Council will not be taking forward any space tourism operation from the airport," said council leader Julian German. Source

1. Question 64. The punishment of the demons
Whether our atmosphere is the demons' place of punishment?
Read St Thomas on the fire of the final conflagration (all works of men must burn up in this fire at the end of days, meaning - no man-made space debris or works will be left above the 29,050ft boundary established by the Blessed Trinity)
2. Question 74. The fire of the final conflagration
Is any cleansing of the world to take place?
Will it be effected by fire?
Is that fire of the same species as elemental fire?
Will that fire cleanse also the higher heavens?
Will that fire consume the other elements?
Will it cleanse all the elements?
Does that fire precede or follow the judgment?
Are men to be consumed by that fire?
Will the wicked be involved therein?

Antichrist Lair - Space Station In Our Lower Atmosphere In The Habitat Of Demons Of The Darksome Atmosphere
Henri de Ferrières: Le Livre du roy Modus et de la royne Racio, qui parle des deduis et de pestilence
But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price. And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis. Dan.xi.
Lets start with a description of the first Tyrant Ninrod and his Lair
But Nemrod Chams nephew, and son of Chus, described for a valiant hunter, a violent giant, and tyrant, was an Archheretic, a divider and teacher of false doctrine against God and true faith. By subtlety and tyranny he induced many of lacking or of fear to follow him, and so in schism maintained heresy: That men were not beholding to God, but to themselves for temporal propensity.
Whereof began a new & cruel confederacy against the City of God, and the second great Sect of infidels. For Barbarism being the first, begun by Cain and ended by the flood: The second mother of all Sects beginning after the flood (as St. Epiphanius writes) was Scythisme: so called of the Scythians, a most cruel people. Who according to Nemrods heresy (not thinking themselves beholding to God for temporal happiness, but to their own forces) tyrannized over the weaker, and many wicked banning together extremely oppressed the more peaceable, especially the Church and true servants of God. And this was one special cause of building Babylon, besides their ambitious desire of perpetual fame, and their bearing the simple in hand of a defense against a new flood, to make it indeed a strong hold for tyrants to offend others, and to defend themselves. Whereof God (who before destroyed all infidels by the flood) confounded these builders by dividing their tongues, and so force them to break and part into many countries.
The Antichrist will have his strong hold his secret place his Tower:

Posted by dxv515 November 25, 2019 CARDINAL BELLARMINE: MAOZIM IS ANTICHRIST'S SECRET SPACE STATION ORBITING IN THE HABITAT OF DEMONS
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine says that Maozim means high tower.
And this high tower is hidden and in a secret location.
The Antichrist will use this secret and hidden tower in order to Worship Satan
How can a tower be hidden on earth and not accessible to to others?
It can't.
High Tower can refer to a space station or platform orbiting in lower earth orbit.
God Maozim is Satan
His Place?
Is the lower Atmosphere or the Habitat of Demons.
And this is where the Antichrist shall worship the god Maozim in his place - in the Habitat of demons or in the Thermosphere

American Airlines Flight 2292 Reports Close Encounter With Unknown Flying Object As It Cruised Along At 36,000 Feet In The Habitat Of Demons Of The Darksome Atmosphere
Airliner Encountered Unidentified Fast-Moving Cylindrical Object Over New Mexico
American Airlines Flight 2292, an Airbus A320 flying between Cincinnati and Phoenix on February 21st, 2021, had a bizarre close encounter with what its crew described as a "long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile" moving extremely fast over the top of their aircraft as it cruised along at 36,000 feet and 400 knots. The incident occurred over the remote northeast corner of New Mexico, to the west of the tiny town of Des Moines.
Steve Douglass, an experienced radio interceptor and the proprietor of Deep Black Horizon, told The War Zone that he was recording from his arsenal of scanners when he heard the strange transmission. The War Zone has reviewed over an hour of audio that Douglass has provided to us from before and after the strange radio call. We are working to authenticate it from the FAA and get further information and comment from the agency on the event. We have also reached out to American Airlines for any additional details they can provide. Source
American Airlines Flight 2292 reports close encounter with unknown flying object.
At approximately 1:19 CST on the Albuquerque Center frequency of 127.850 MHz or 134.750 MHz (recording wasn't frequency stamped) the pilot reported: "Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us - I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing - moving really fast right over the top of us." According to Flight 24 and Flight Aware AAL 2292 was over the northeast corner of New Mexico west of Clayton, New Mexico. No reply was monitored by Albuquerque Center because local (Amarillo) air traffic walked on top of it. AAL 2292 was near flight level 370 (37k) at the time of the report. No significant military aircraft presence was noted on ADS-B logs. The aircraft flew on to land in Phoenix, AZ. Source
I Pray For The Destruction Of The Airline Industry During Sunday Mass: Why Do Boeing 777 Engines Keep Exploding?
Why Do Boeing 777 Engines Keep Exploding?
The engines on elderly Boeing 777 airliners are blowing up with worrisome frequency. In 2018, the No. 11 fan blade on the right engine of a United Airlines 777 broke as the plane approached its destination, Honolulu. Its pieces, traveling at high speed, caused a cascade of failures within the engine's intricate machinery such that within less than a second, the engine's cover had blown off, leaving the naked core wobbling as it spun. Flying debris caused two punctures in the fuselage but the plane was able to land safely under the power of its remaining engine. Last December, a Japan Airlines 777 suffered a similar engine failure after the No. 16 fan blade of its No. 1 engine broke en route between Naha, Japan, and Tokyo. That flight, too, landed safely. And then on Saturday, another United Airlines 777 suffered an uncontained engine failure as it climbed out of Denver en route to Honolulu. Witnesses on the ground reported hearing an explosion before debris rained down on the town of Broomfield, Colorado. The pilot declared mayday and returned to Denver without further incident. Source

Boeing 747 Loses Parts After Take-Off From Maastricht, Diverts To Liege – Two People Injured
A Boeing 747-400BCF freighter registered VQ-BWT (MSN 24975) flying for Bermuda-based Longtail Aviation took off from runway 21 at Maastricht Aachen Airport this Saturday afternoon at 16:11 (UTC+1). The aeroplane operating flight LGT5504 to New York JFK experienced heavy damage on an engine shortly after take-off. Engine parts (turbine blades) fell in the nearby village of Meerssen resulting in 2 people slightly injured and damage to cars.
According to a spokesman for the South Limburg Safety Region, an explosion has probably occurred in engine number one of the aircraft. Metal parts such as turbine blades have come down around the Limburg town of Meerssen. Debris hit an elderly woman, who was slightly injured as a result. A child also burned his fingers on a piece of metal. In Meerssen several houses and cars got damaged by falling debris. The thirty-year-old plane immediately diverted on three engines to Liège airport, where it landed safely after making a number of laps over the Ardennes to burn fuel and lose weight. According to aviation expert Joris Melkert, it is a special incident: "I cannot remember a recent case in the Netherlands where parts of an engine fell down." Source

United Airlines Boeing 777 with 241 people on board makes emergency landing in Denver after its engine exploded mid-flight and rained down enormous pieces of debris onto Colorado homes
A United Airlines flight bound for Hawaii was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Denver after suffering major damage to one of its engines and dropping huge pieces of debris over a neighborhood in Colorado as dramatic audio from the mayday call reveals the pilot asking air traffic control to immediately turn the aircraft around. Flight UA328, which was carrying 231 passengers and 10 crew members, suffered serious engine failure shortly after takeoff from Denver, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Saturday. There were no reported injuries either on board or on the ground. The Boeing 777-200, which was scheduled to fly to Honolulu in Hawaii, diverted back to Denver and landed safely at 1:30pm local time, about 30 minutes after takeoff. Source
"You're Gonna Die Up There" United Boeing 777-200 Engine Explodes! Debris Falls From Plane During Emergency Landing Near Denver
Debris falls from plane during emergency landing near Denver
DENVER (AP) — Debris from a United Airlines plane fell onto Denver suburbs during an emergency landing Saturday, with one very large piece that appears to be part of the engine narrowly missing a home. The plane landed safely and nobody aboard or on the ground was reported hurt, authorities said. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the Boeing 777-200 returned to the Denver International Airport after experiencing a right-engine failure shortly after takeoff. Flight 328 was flying from Denver to Honolulu when the incident occurred, the agency said. United said in a separate statement that there were 231 passengers and 10 crew on board. The airline released no further details. The Broomfield Police Department posted photos on Twitter showing large, circular pieces of debris leaning against a house in the suburb about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Denver. Police are asking that anyone injured come forward. Tyler Thal, who lives in the area, told The Associated Press that he was out for a walk with his family when he noticed a large commercial plane flying unusually low and took out his phone to film it. "While I was looking at it, I saw an explosion and then the cloud of smoke and some debris falling from it. It was just like a speck in the sky and as I'm watching that, I'm telling my family what I just saw and then we heard the explosion," he said in a phone interview. "The plane just kind of continued on and we didn't see it after that." Source
FAA Statement: A Boeing 777-200 operated by United Airlines returned to Denver International Airport and landed safety Saturday after experiencing a right-engine failure shortly after takeoff. The FAA is aware of reports of debris in the vicinity of the airplane's flight path. The passengers deplaned on Runway 26-Right and were bused to the terminal. Please contact local officials and the airline for further information about the passengers. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide additional updates. United Flight 328 was flying from Denver to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu when the incident occurred.

"You're Gonna Die Up There" Two Dead After Military T-38 Jet En Route To Tallahassee Crashed Near Alabama Airport
Two people dead after military T-38 jet en route to Tallahassee crashed near Alabama airport
Two people are dead after a military jet crashed near the Montgomery Regional Airport in Montgomery, Alabama on Friday. Little is known of the victims at this point, although they are presumed to be members of the military, as both of the fatalities were on board according to CBS42. The names of the victims have not been released at this time. The crash occurred around 5:30pm local time. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash out of their Birmingham office. Additionally, military officers stationed at the airport responded to the scene of the crash. WSFA reports the crash didn't happen at the airport, but in a wooden area close by to the airport. Executive Airport Director Marshall Taggart Jr. told WSFA that no structures were hit by the plane, which crashed near a mobile home park. Taggart also revealed the flight path of the jet, which originated in Columbus, Mississippi and was en route to Tallahassee, Florida. Fox News reports the plane was a two-seat T-38 jet, which is typically used in training by either the Air Force or the Navy. Source

At Least 5 Dead After Pileup Involving 100+ Cars & Trucks Traps Drivers, Shuts Down I-35W In Fort Worth
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) — A multi-car pileup, involving more than 100 vehicles, along Interstate-35W in Fort Worth has shutdown the highway and left several people trapped in their cars. Fort Worth police spokesperson Officer Daniel Segura has confirmed at least 5 people, who have not been publicly identified, were killed in the crash. "Information will change going throughout the day as we get more information," Fort Worth Fire Department public information officer Mike Drivdahl said during a morning press conference. "We are going vehicle, by vehicle, to make sure that anybody that is still trapped in their vehicle has been extricated, if possible. There's a lot of vehicles to go through." The pileup happened around 6:30 a.m. after freezing rain and sleet fell overnight and into the morning, leaving roadways across North Texas wet and slick. Source

SpaceX fails to stick ANOTHER landing: Elon Musk's Falcon 9 rocket misses the droneship and crashes into the ocean following a Starlink mission
SpaceX failed to stick another landing following the launch of its Falcon 9 rocket Monday evening. The rocket successfully deployed a new batch of 60 Starlink internet satellites into orbit, but the booster missed the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in Port Canaveral upon its return. During SpaceX's livestream of the mission, a flash of light is seen at the right side of the landing pad when the booster was set to touch down. Although the firm has not made an official announcement, CEO Elon Musk hints on Twitter at the idea that it crashed into the ocean. One Twitter user posted, 'RIP booster you will be missed' shortly after the Monday mission, in which Musk replied: 'Yea. Active fairing half recovered though.' The failed booster landing comes just two weeks after SpaceX's Starship Serial Number 9 (SN9) prototype exploded when attempting to land following its first high altitude test February 2. Monday's Starlink mission kicked off at 10:59pm ET, when Falcon 9 ignited its engine and took off into the night sky. Source

Community Council Minutes - April 2018
Forum » Fossoway Forum / News » Community Council Minutes - April 2018
Dadn 09 Jul 2018 15:19
3rd April 2018, Powmill Moubray Hall
Attending: Community Cllrs Cameron Brown, Angus Cheape, Jennifer Donachie, Trudy Duffy, Carol Farquhar and Graham Pye; P&K Cllrs Callum Purves, Willie Robertson and Richard Watters; 5 Members of the Public (MoP)
Apologies: Cllr Mike Barnacle.
Police report: Unfortunately no officer was able to be present at the meeting. There was one incident to note in our area in the last month from the Commander's Reports received via Perth and Kinross Community Watch: On Friday 16th March 2018 into Saturday at Tullibole Mill Farm, Drum an Ifor
Williams white box trailer was stolen.
Minutes of the previous meeting: As a paper copy of the February minutes was not available at the March meeting they were instead signed off at this meeting. There were no amendments to the March meeting minutes so they were also signed off.
Blairingone School Estate Transformation: The decision to close the school has currently been deferred until the next Lifelong Learning Committee meeting in eight weeks' time. Cllr Barnacle is known to be keen to resolve the issue of whether development proposed to be included in LDP2 will take place in Blairingone, which might justify keeping the school open.
Lambhill: Local residents have noticed that large numbers of HGVs are waiting outside the site in the mornings, suggesting that the site is still operational, contrary to planning.
Dollar Equestrian Centre: At the LRB meeting held earlier today, the planners' decision to refuse the application to retain the wooden stables (17/01337/FLL) was upheld.
A977 Mitigation: Community Consultations about how the A977 money is to be spent were held on 10th and 13th March – the meetings were not as well attended as hoped considering the longstanding interest in this subject. Final proposals will be presented by PKC at the next CC meeting based on feedback received so far, and this will be the last opportunity to comment on the proposals. Cllr Robertson pointed out that this is the only road in P&K receiving this level of attention and it's important to ensure that we get the maximum benefit from this one off opportunity.
Hydro Scheme Fund: CCllr Duffy reported that the first application for funds has been received and is being considered by the Hydro Committee. Between £50k and £55k should become available from the remainder of the contingency fund in stages over the year. The public consultation showed that restoring the bridge over the gorge would be a very popular project, but as it is too big a project for the Hydro Committee to run on its own, CCllr Duffy suggested approaching TRACKS to see if they can help. The meeting approved of this suggestion, and CCllr Duffy agreed to make contact.
Crook and Drum Growing Together: A fund raising event in conjunction with the school will be held on 28th April. Both this group and the Powmill in Bloom group are currently waiting for the weather to improve.
Fossoway Area Transport: Contrary to an impression that may have been given in last month's Kinross newsletter, this CC is not critical of the current DRT service, and especially not its operators, however we are critical of the lack of public transport in this area.
LDP2, Crook Moss Travellers Site, Ivy Cottage Powmill and Blairingone War Memorial.
40 mph Limit Drum (B9097): Cllr Duffy has examined the proposed plans and they seem to be appropriate. Cllr Robertson noted that the proposal was approved at the Environment and Infrastructure Committee on 21st March.
Meetings Attended: CCllr Farquhar was unable to attend the Sports Hub meeting in March as it was cancelled due to the bad weather.
CCllr Pye attended a Stakeholder Engagement Workshop with SSE in February at which SSE detailed their business plan targets and their achievements.
SSE also described the Priority Service Register – a list of customers who need extra help during power cuts, either because of age (>60), having young (<5) children, disabilities or medical reasons, and non English speakers. Scotland has 113,000 households (13%) on the register. High priority members of the register may be helped to move to another location or provided with emergency power. CCllr Farquhar informed the meeting that she had found the Priority Service very good during her husband's earlier illness. Potential applicants to this register should first check that SSE is the actual provider of their supply, known as the Network Operator, as opposed to who they pay for it, called the Supplier, at: https://www.ssepd.co.uk/WhoIsMyNetworkOperator and then contact SSE's Careline on 0800 622 838.
SSE has a Resilient Communities fund which makes grants to help communities be more resilient, e.g. Defibrillators, emergency generators and lighting, etc. Awards range from £200 to £20,000 totalling £505k last year. Applications are open now at: https://www.ssepd.co.uk/RCF/Scotland/
Finally SSE explained some of their ideas towards addressing the change in electricity generation and usage in the future as more solar panels, wind farms, hydro schemes and electric vehicles come into use.
P&K Councillors' Reports
Callum Purves: The Health and Social Care board exists to help integrate the NHS and Council services, however their decisions appear to be somewhat limited by the Council's prior policies, which seems to make the board rather toothless, however it fulfils an important role in co-ordinating the two Services.
Willie Robertson: Now that roadside hedges have been trimmed, it's possible to do litter picking. Cllr Robertson has requested that the A91 be litter picked, especially the east end. The Vehicle Activated Speed signs seem to be working. Blairingone school is likely to be closed, and hence will lose its only community facility and Cllr Robertson is very concerned about that, and asked the CC to write to the Education department and stress the importance of the school as a location for Community activities. CCllr Duffy agreed to do that.
Richard Watters: The Action Partnership has met, and two new members have been appointed, although there is still one vacancy, preferably to be filled by someone outside Kinross – anyone interested should contact Cllr Watters for more information.
Cllr Watters has been working with Visit Scotland and Historic Scotland Kinross-shire to take full advantage of the tourism opportunities presented by the film Mary Queen of Scots due to be released in September.
Planning Matters – New Applications:
18/00343/FLL Erection of a dwelling house and alterations to existing dwelling house to form a workshop/store and ancillary accommodation unit. Craigton Bungalow, Rumbling Bridge, Kinross KY13 0QF.
No CC comment.
18/00364/FLL Erection of a dwelling house at land 50 metres North of Mellock House, Fossoway.
18/00410/PNA Erection of an agricultural building, Rivendell, Blairingone
No comments can be made to PNAs.
Decided Applications:
18/00058/FLL Change of use of children's nursery to dwellinghouse, Glenbank Cottage, Powmill.
Approved – the CC did not comment.
Correspondence: All the correspondence was available for viewing: On 10th March a coach got stuck in the entrance to the Scout Camp, apparently the driver was folling his GPS on a short cut to Dollar, and had nothing to do with the Camp or its users on that day.
AOCB: Cllr Robertson reminded the meeting that Kinross-shire is a fair trade area, and PKC is a fair-trade county, he has window stickers to advertise this fact.
MoP reports that the Fossoway.org website has some problems, including a broken link to the School Council – Although the CC doesn't own it, it has edit access to the pages covering the CC. CCllr Pye undertook to look into the problems.
MoP reported that there is a pile of material in the Moubray Hall car park, perhaps left by Council staff working on the car park surface, which is impeding access to some of the spaces. Cllr Robertson will contact someone in PKC to get it removed
MoP notes that the Blairingone forest area is being actively developed by Forestry Commission, especially paths and tracks which are now much improved giving potential for good walks.
CCllr Duffy met with members of Crook of Devon Village Hall Committee, and it was agreed that they don't work as well together as they should. There is a proposal to try and resurrect the Fossoway Gathering in June 2019. CCllr Duffy will be meeting with the Committee tomorrow to initially discuss it, and anyone interested should contact the CC. PKC has a fund for rural events, which may be a source of money for this event.
Matters arising: A977 Mitigation, Blairingone School Estate Transformation, Hydro Scheme Fund, Crook & Drum Growing Together, Powmill in Bloom, Lambhill.
AGM and Next Meeting: Tuesday 8th May 2018 7:30 pm
