Christian von Passau (September 1013 – ?) was the 19th Bishop of the Diocese of Passau from 991 to 1013. He was at the same time the first bishop who had secular rule over the city of Passau.

Life
Christian possibly came from the Saxons and belonged to the cathedral chapter of Hildesheim. In 991 he was Bishop of Passau, which he received in 993 from King Otto III. A confirmation of the entire possession of the Passau church with a special mention of the abbeys Kremsmünster and Mattsee, the chapel of Ötting and the court of Reut. By this confirmation of possession the emperor took the church of Passau under his protection. Also in 993, Bishop Christian of Otto III. The granting of the freedom of services to any person, especially the Duke of Bavaria, with the restriction that the Passau Church was obliged to perform the royal and imperial power. The bishop thus became richly endowed and endowed with princely sovereign rights.

In 996 Christian joined Otto and took part in his imperial crown and synod. In 999 he received from Otto III. The law of market, customs, ban, and mint as well as the entire public authority within and outside the city of Passau. Thus he became a town with the privileges hitherto reserved for the king.

In the year 1002 he accompanied Duke Henry IV of Bavaria to the king's election to Mainz and chose him as king. In 1007 he took part in the Frankfurt Synod. He signed the founding protocol of the Bishopric of Bamberg, possibly in 1012 when he was consecrated.

Chacma or Cape baboons occur al over the country. Their colouring varies from olive to dark grey and so does their size. The largest specimen are found in Namibia. Adult males stand about 150 cm / 60 inch at the shoulder and have a body mass of up to 44 kg / 97 lb. Chacma baboons live in troops governed by a distinct social hierarchic structure. Prime males take on the dominant role. Male animals unite to built a "defence force", acting bravely against attackers, most of all leopards. If there is danger, troop members warn one another with a short bisyllabic bark. Their strong carnassials are good for many tasks, which should be borne in mind by the hunter, as they can be quite dangerous.
On farmland baboons will occasionally have to be stopped from being a nuisance and the farmer might have to reduce their numbers, since they do not only cause damage in the field and orchards, but also to windmills and stored agricultural equipment. Baboons are mainly omnivorous, feeding primarily on a large variety of fruit and leaves, but also on insects, caterpillars, and even scorpions which they find under stones. Birds and smaller mammals, including sheep, lambs or goat kids, are a welcome changed in the diet.
Vervet monkeys only occur in north-eastern Namibia. These apes, with their beautiful marking and "sweet" little face, stand about 65cm / 26 inch and have a mass of about 5,5 kg / 12 lb. Their social behaviour is similar to that of baboons; they feed mainly on fruit and leaves.

Kashmiris who made it to International Cricket
By Muhammad Faysal
Kashmir and cricket is an infectious love story. From breaking TVs to celebrating on the streets, hardly any place in the world does a fan-support get so high on emotional quotient that it results in tear-gassing of crowds.
As Moeen Ali is celebrated as the first Kashmiri Muslim to lead the English Cricket Team, we look at Kashmiri origin cricketers who have played International Cricket for nations around the world.
1. Vivek Razdan: Bowled in just two innings for India on the 1989 tour of Pakistan, taking five wickets in the second of them in a smashing debut series.
A product of the MRF Pace Foundation, Razdan was selected on the basis of just two first class appearances.
Razdan with the help of swinging conditions claimed 5-79 in the final Test at Sialkot and help India to a 74-run first innings lead.
2. Suresh Raina: Maverick Indian batsman who became a permanent feature in the Indian Cricket Team. His family was from Rainawari in Srinagar before they moved in the 1980s.
Gary Kirsten, the coach of India's World Cup Team in 2011, said 'Raina won the World Cup for us with some crucial knocks'.
3. Parvez Rasool: The Bijbehara Blaster became the first Srinagar born Kashmiri to play International Cricket. He joined the India's touring side to Zimbabwe where he was benched throughout the series.
He has done significantly well in India A team where he took a 7 wicket haul in an innings against Australia.
4. Abid Nabi: The boastful lad from Srinagar who was seen as the rising speedster in India's domestic circuit on the prospect of his speed. He had done quite well against England by taking a five-wicket-haul in an Under19 match.
His switch to ICL put curtains down on whatever hope was left of him playing for India.
5. Haroon Rasheed Dar: is a retired Pakistani cricketer who played in 23 Tests and 12 ODIs from 1977 to 1983. A gritty batsman Haroon, was pulled out of the car near a Karachi Shopping Centre by youngsters for his slow batting in the 1979 Semi Final.
He went to become U19s selector and coach. During the series in Kenya, Dar was asked to send replacements. On this request a sixteen year old boy from the U19s was sent to Kenya. He happened to score the fastest century in ODI cricket. Yes, this boy was Shahid Khan Afridi.
6. Tahir Naqqash: Naqqash played 15 Tests and 40 ODIs for the Pakistan Cricket Team between 1980 and 1985. He played alongside the likes of Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz, and Sikander Bakht in the early 1980s.
He was also part of the 1983 team which reached the semi final of the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He was born in Lahore in a Kashmiri family which has presence on both sides of the LoC.
7. Nida Dar: Pakistani women cricketer who is a frequent feature in the team. Her father Khawaja Rashid Hassan also played first class cricket in Pakistan.
Dar's nickname, "Lady Boom Boom", is an allusion to her batting firepower.
8. Salman Butt: is a Pakistani cricketer and YouTuber who currently plays for Lahore Qalandars. He is a former captain of Pakistan cricket team who was previously banned for five years for his involvement in 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
He had been a regular Test and ODI left-handed opening batsman.
9. Sana Mir: Former Pakistani cricketer who served as a captain of the Pakistan national women's cricket team in ODIs and T20Is. She played in 226 international matches, including 137 of those as captain of the side.
She was the first bowler for Pakistan to take 100 wickets in WODIs.
10. Afaq Raheem: Stylish batsman from Mirpur in Azad Kashmir was selected to play a test series against Sri Lanka. Although he didn't play a game, Afaq's name features among emerging talent in the Pakistani domestic cricket scene.
11. Kabir Ali: This handsome cricketer of Kashmiri descent often touted as a 'one test wonder' after taking 5 wickets against South Africa in 2004/05.
He never quite made an impact later on. Apart from playing for Lancashire, he's also into modelling. Goes without saying.
12. Moeen Ali: The-beard-that-is-feared is England's answer to Hashim Amla's ethics. He is an all-rounder who is one of emerging stars that are playing currently, although his religious sensibilities were not taken well by a section of English media and some sections of hate groups.
When a section of Indian supporters in the crowd booed him during the match, Moeen said, "my dad was very upset because it was the first time the family had watched me play for England at Edgbaston. I don't know what it was. Maybe because my family are from Kashmir."
13. Amjad Khan: The closest a Kashmir born cricketer came to feature in a World Cup team in 2003. But due to board conflicts he was left out of the team. He holds the record for the highest individual score in North America – 304 not out.
According to Cricinfo, He is one of only three players in the world to have scored a triple century in any form of limited-overs cricket.
14. Sikandar Raza Butt: A Kashmiri born in Sialkot, Pakistan has become a permanent feature in the Zimbabwean team. His style of play has earned him many fans all over the world.

Handel: A Musical Life of Devotion
Written by Puritans Radio on 23 January, 2018
A great gift to music entered into the world on 23 February 1685 in Halle, Germany. A life of great musical interest; one filled with an unbelievable talent that would become a beacon to many throughout the European continent and span centuries past its lifetime. It is a life that would become centered around a great mystery of how the musical talent would blossom into a recognized and celebrated gift; a life that would alter the musical landscape and the spiritual worship realm in a short 24 days, and a life that would become so influential that it would dictate musical compositions for many years afterwards.
A musical life that in the beginning would find itself struggling to exist; a life that will be forever known in George Frideric Handel. It is through Handel that we credit many great musical accomplishments; accomplishments in the mixture of homophonic and polyphonic textures, through the creation of his own unique works through the process of combining German, Italian, French, and English musical traditions into his highly successful English Oratorios. And most importantly through the lasting effects of Handel's single greatest gift to the world, and the world of music: The Messiah. But how does the work of this single musician leave such a strong impression on the music that we have today? What could possibly make the music of Handel something that would be hailed as electric, memorable, unique, and even cutting edge? And most importantly how could one person alter the musical idiom through a single twenty-four day creation of a setting of Christ's life? Through these questions I will explore Handel's impact on music in a way that shed's light onto the significance of Handel as a musician, a teacher, and inventor and as a religious preserver. It is with Handel that we credit a great deal of musical advancement.
Adversity in Handel's life was something that he encountered early on in life. At an early age Handel found himself faced with a father that did not support a career in music, in fact his father was a person that greatly hated music; noting that it was a pastime that served the sole purpose of casting a light on the weakness of character found within a person. It was his father that wished he would strive to obtain a career as a lawyer, a position that would come with a great deal of security in position and financial stability. This was something that Handel himself would have to come to terms with, because he himself was born with "signs of a fierce ambition, born of an awareness of his superiority as a musician, and with a determination to maintain his independence." This determination to advance his musical skill became a task that took a great deal of hard work and convincing; though it was Handel's mother that provided access to a clavichord hidden in the family's attic. The hours spent hiding from his father in the attic, covering the strings of the clavichord with cloth to dampen the sound, allowed young George the time to practice his musical development and eventually the knowledge of how to play both the clavichord and the organ. This early study is most likely what saved the musical career for Handel, because it was during the time stuck in the attic that a young Duke passing by heard young George playing in the attic and was so moved by what he heard, that he stopped to listen. After hearing young George play the organ, the Duke pleaded with George's father to allow him to travel to Berlin and begin to take music lessons. The young Handel began taking lessons at the age of eight, and was easily able to conquer learning the violin, composition and theory techniques, harpsichord, and reinforce the organ playing skills. By the age of 11, there seemed little that any music teacher could teach George; it was at this point that George's father began angry and again expressed his desire for George to cease playing in the music, and to return home and do as he wished. Handel at the request of his father did in fact return home, only to arrive at his father's deathbed. This was a dark period of struggle for the young Handel, compelled to honor his father's wishes, George decided that it was best to keep to his studies in law; though during this same time he continued to also sharpen the musical skills that he knew he possessed. It was during this time that Handel began to write cantatas for the various churches that he was serving in as an organist. It was the service in music that called out to Handel, and by the time he reached the age of eighteen, Handel had realized that it was in fact his destiny to become a great musician noting that he was destined to improve his musical abilities and his knowledge of music.[…]

Gingivitis - this is the earliest form of gum disease. Plaque buildup at the gumline causes inflammation and some bleeding near the gums.
Periodontitis - supporting bone and fibers around the teeth are damaged in this second-stage of gum disease, causing bone damage and loss.
Approximately 50% of adults in the U.S. over 30 years old are affected by periodontitis. This occurs after the onset of gingivitis, (which is caused by a collection of plaque along the gum line.) If this is not treated, plaque calcifies and has to be removed to be able to treat gum disease.
Dental treatment and healthy oral cleaning habits at home can help prevent further damage to the teeth. If not treated, shifting and loosening of the teeth will begin.
Charting - We can personalize your treatment by computerized charting. This allows us to track and analyze how treatment is working from one appointment to another.
Cavitron Ultrasonic Instrumentation - Modern ultrasonic equipment is available to quickly and comfortably remove plaque buildup.
Soft Tissue Therapy - The key to eliminating periodontal disease resides in soft tissue therapy. This will remove plaque and tartar deposits that live in the roots of the teeth.
Perio Protect - this customized method manages oral biofilm with very non-invasive dentistry for long-lasting oral health.
Cavi-jet - An air polishing system is used alongside the traditional polishing and buffering to remove stains.
Visiting the dentist regularly for cleanings and exams is necessary for gum disease prevention; daily oral hygiene at home is also a vital part of preventing gum disease. Brushing and flossing will keep teeth clear of bacteria that can lead to plaque build-up and the decay of your teeth.

The Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Defence, Mr. Paul Kehoe, T.D. today praised the crew of LÉ Róisín under the command of her captain, Lieutenant Commander Ultan Finegan, for their continued role in assisting with the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.
The Minister confirmed that LÉ Róisín has completed three operations today. One of the operations involved the rescue of 123 migrants from a 12m long rubber vessel craft 28 nautical miles Northwest of Tripoli. Unfortunately during the course of the rescue one deceased male migrant was also recovered from the rubber vessel craft. The other two operations involved the transfer of 101 migrants from an Italian ship and 123 migrants from a German ship to the Irish Naval Vessel.
The Minister stated "I am deeply saddened by this loss of life and I want to thank the crew of LÉ Róisín for their ongoing contribution and assistance to those in distress in the Mediterranean."
The Minister went on to say that "our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased male, the survivors and the rescuers involved in today's operations. I would like to thank the crew of LÉ Róisín for their work in the Mediterranean and to wish them continued success in their endeavours".
The rescue today brings to 642 the number of migrants rescued by LÉ Róisín since it commenced operations on 12 May 2016.

Cops, paramedics face grow-op and drug-lab danger
The Canadian Press Published Sunday, June 5, 2011 3:19PM EDT

OTTAWA - Canada's cops, firefighters and paramedics need better training on the hazards they face when inadvertently entering grow-ops and drug labs -- some rigged with booby traps meant to injure or kill them.
That's the strong message from three dozen so-called first responders in Canada's major population centres who were surveyed in a recent study by the federal Justice Department.
"All first responders indicated that these 'chance discoveries' caused them the most concern in terms of the safety and health risks they face upon entering a site," says the study, completed this spring.
"Drug production sites are often protected by anti-personnel devices and booby traps. These incendiary devices are intended to impede police investigations and prevent thefts."
The report surveyed 36 emergency workers across Canada, part of a federal-provincial project begun in 2002 to tackle the rise of indoor marijuana cultivation facilities, known as grow-ops, and clandestine illegal-drug laboratories, or clan-labs.
A copy of the March 24 report was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
The survey included telephone interviews with police officers, firefighters, paramedics and seven Health Canada chemists in all provinces except Atlantic Canada.
Each worker responded to an average of between five and 10 incidents each year that involved clan-labs, and between 10 and 20 that involved grow-ops. Sometimes there was a house fire, explosion or medical emergency -- and in about half those cases there was no warning of any illegal operation at the site.
The study noted instances in Ontario of booby traps, such as electric wire attached to doors and windows, or a device that releases toxic chemicals on anyone entering.
"These anti-personnel devices in production sites are primarily intended to kill or injure people. ...
"Many participants in this study were fearful of accidentally walking into booby traps or suddenly finding themselves in the line of gun fire and-or near explosions."
Grow-ops typically draw between three and 10 times the amount of electricity of a normal home, greatly increasing the risk of electrocution when firefighters burst in with hoses. Fires in these high-risk facilities are better doused with something other than water.
Clan-labs, especially those producing methamphetamine, can also give off toxic vapours that readily penetrate standard protective clothing.
"The likelihood of police officers, firefighters, and paramedics getting injured at clandestine labs is typically much higher when the labs are discovered by chance," says the report, citing recent research.
"The majority of injuries resulting from the discovery of illicit drug productions occur when things go wrong in the first few minutes of the operation."
The specially trained Health Canada chemists were least likely to face unexpected health risks, largely because their job is to ensure a clan-lab site is chemically safe after it has been thoroughly checked by police and fire officials. But the chemists interviewed said they still worry about their health and safety from lingering toxins.
The emergency workers interviewed asked for increased funding to buy equipment, such as portable air monitors, self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suits.
They also want better training, standard provincial or national protocols and more information sharing, such as a pooled database. Some called for specialized response units trained to deal with emergencies at grow-ops and clan-labs.
A spokeswoman for the federal Justice Department said the findings are still under review. "Standards have not been drawn up at this time," Carole Saindon said in an email.
A member of the Ottawa police drug squad says his team members are trained to spot booby traps when entering a grow-op.
"We're aware of this and we're always watching out for that," Det. Jamie Foley said in an interview, adding it's sometimes hard to tell whether a grow-op has sloppy wiring or whether it's deliberately rigged to zap intruders.
Foley has never been caught in a booby trap in his five years on the job, but says grow-ops are by themselves unhealthy, especially the air because of mould in the walls, ceiling and rafters.
Members of the squad, who raid an average of 30 grow-ops each year, are heavily outfitted with respirators, safety boots and Tyvek suits, which protect against chemicals.
"At the end of the day, you've got to know you're safe going home," said Foley, who was not part of the Justice Department study.
"We've been extremely fortunate."

Detroit Tigers should consider trading pitchers to Yankees for Clint Frazier, Miguel Andujar

DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers are off to a solid start this season, and while that has given fans some much-needed meaningful baseball to watch, it shouldn't distract the team from its ultimate goal: winning a World Series.
As we noted just before the season began, it's not impossible for the Tigers to make the 16-team postseason this year. They wouldn't even necessarily have to finish with a winning record, and they've already played .500 baseball through one-sixth of the schedule.
But compare the Tigers' roster to the New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians or Houston Astros. Making a playoff push would be a great step in the right direction, but there's no chance this team could win the World Series.
The Tigers are nearing the end of the rebuild, but that doesn't mean everything they need is already in house.
Tigers pitching depth
Earlier this week, MLB Pipeline released its updated prospect rankings and named the Tigers' farm system the best in baseball, according to its "prospect points" rating system. All six of the team's 2020 draft picks are in the organization's top 30 prospects, and few teams have the combination of high-end players at the top of the rankings and depth throughout the top 30.
Times are about to get a lot better, but Al Avila can't be satisfied. He has to keep improving for the future as much as possible.
If all goes according to plan, some combination of Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Tarik Skubal, Alex Faedo, Franklin Perez and Joey Wentz will lock down at least three-fifths of the starting rotation in the next few years.

The Tigers also have some sleepers, such as Elvin Rodriguez, Paul Richan and Wilkel Hernandez, who could turn into back-end starters.
The problem is the organization is still a little thin offensively, though this year's draft certainly helped. Aside from Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Isaac Paredes, question marks surround the future offense.
That's not to say all the team's pitching prospects will work out, either. The Tigers would be lucky if two or three of them become true above-average starters.
But the need for position players is obviously greater. Who will join Greene in the outfield if Daz Cameron, Parker Meadows and Derek Hill continue to struggle? Where will the Tigers get production on the infield if Jeimer Candelario isn't the answer or Paredes struggles?
As it stands, the entire future Tigers' lineup is unproven, and they could use a couple of MLB-ready players.
Why Yankees make sense
The Yankees are the perfect trade partner because they're currently dealing with a massive logjam of position players and getting by with a shaky pitching staff.
On Thursday, the Yankees optioned Miguel Andujar to their alternate training site, where he'll join former top prospect Clint Frazier in intrasquad games and workouts.
It's crazy to think that two players who would both be the Tigers' best hitter can't even make the 28-man roster in New York. The moves were justified, though. Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner, Aaron Hicks, Mike Tauchman and Giancarlo Stanton have the outfield and designated hitter spots more than locked down.
Gleyber Torres, Gio Urshela and D.J. LeMahieu are everyday players on the infield, and Luke Voit and Mike Ford have first base covered. Throw in Tyler Wade, who can play every infield spot, and there's just no room for Andujar and Frazier, even with expanded rosters.
That's not going to change anytime soon. Judge, Hicks, Tauchman, Stanton, Torres, Urshela, Voit and Ford are all signed at least through 2023, and most for much longer. Brian Cashman isn't going to let LaMahieu walk without making a move this offseason, either.
The pitching staff is another story, though. Behind Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees are shaky in the starting staff.
James Paxton, who was supposed to be an ace-level No. 2, has returned from an offseason injury and allowed 12 hits and six earned runs in four innings. J.A. Happ has allowed 15 base runners and eight earned runs in seven innings. Nobody knows what the Yankees will get from Jonathan Loaisiga or Jordan Montgomery.
Is there a scenario where this starting five works out for the Yankees? Yes. But aside from Cole, nobody on this list is a sure thing, and Cashman isn't going to stand pat and risk missing this World Series window because of shaky starting pitching.
The Yankees are among the World Series favorites this year and in the near future, but that starting rotation could be an Achilles heel, especially in a short playoff series. For example, an Indians rotation of Shane Bieber, Mike Clevinger and Carlos Carrasco could easily take out the Yankees in a three- or five-game series.
The Yankees' elite bullpen has also taken a couple of hits, with Tommy Kahnle undergoing Tommy John surgery and Aroldis Chapman yet to throw a pitch. They could use some depth to support a starting staff not known for working deep into games.
Trade chips
Who might the Yankees be interested in? Well, the Tigers have a few starters and relievers that would improve the Yankees for the next several years.
Matt Boyd was on their radar at the deadline last season, and though he's had two poor starts so far in 2020, that doesn't change the fact that he struck out 238 batters last season and has been extremely durable since joining the Tigers' rotation in 2015.
Boyd is under contract for two additional seasons after 2020, so the Tigers have leverage in any trade discussions involving their ace.

Spencer Turnbull is also off to a hot start. The Tigers might be reluctant to deal him because he's showcasing an elite fastball-slider combination and backing up last season's breakout. But every player on this roster should have his price.
Turnbull was the best Tigers pitcher in spring training and summer camp. He's missing bats with 63.2% of his sliders and averaging 95.2 mph on his sinker. Those are excellent signs.
In the bullpen, Gregory Soto, Buck Farmer, Jose Cisnero and Joe Jimenez could all draw some trade interest.
Jimenez is off to a nice start after striking out 12.4 batters per nine innings a year ago. Farmer has allowed one walk and no hits in five cleaning innings as the setup man. Cisnero has been excellent in the middle and late innings.
Soto has outshined them all, though, retiring 17 of 20 batters, including eight strikeouts. He hasn't allowed a run and is missing bats at a 14% clip.
The Tigers won't want to give up any of these players, but it would make sense to try to bring in some hitters who have already had success in the majors.
Boyd, in particular, makes sense because he will be coming up on free agency right as the Tigers are starting to come into contention. They need to decide if they're going to pay up to extend him as a 32-year-old in 2023, and if not, they should try to bring in pieces for the future.
The Tigers will have to give up good players to get good players in return, even if the Yankees don't have room for the players they're targeting.
Trade return
Just because Andujar and Frazier can't break the Yankees' starting lineup doesn't mean they're scrubs.
Frazier was the No. 15 prospect in all of baseball before he got promoted to the Yankees in 2017, while Andujar was in the top 70 before his first full season in 2018.
In that full season, Andujar hit 27 home runs and 47 doubles in 149 games with a low strikeout rate and a .297/.328/.527 slash line. He was insanely productive and finished with 2.9 WAR.
Frazier appears to have fallen out of favor with the organization and has never really gotten regular at-bats, but in 123 career games, he's hit 16 home runs, 26 doubles and four triples while slashing .254/.308/.463.
With the Tigers, both players would be in the heart of the lineup regularly, with Frazier likely starting in a corner outfield spot and Andujar at second or third base. Andujar has shown what he can do in a full season, and Frazier deserves a chance to validate his prospect pedigree.
Both players are 25 years old, which is still young, but it's about time for them to be locked into everyday roles. Andujar is under team control until 2024, and Frazier until 2025.
Adding two powerful bats to the lineup just as the top pitching prospects are ready to break into the rotation would put the Tigers in a better position to contend by 2022.
Avila would likely need to add a pitcher via free agency, assuming all the prospects don't pan out. But with Miguel Cabrera's contract the only post-arbitration deal on the books after this season, the Tigers have plenty of money to spend.
The rebuild is on the right track. The next few years will show if the Tigers can close the deal and make the transition into a legitimate World Series contender.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Jaci Byrne's dreams of being a published author come true and is located at https://www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/jaci-byrnes-dreams-of-being-a-published-author-come-true/.
After self-publishing four novels and a series of eight illustrated children's educational books on Amazon, Jaci Byrne decided that she wanted to get her books 'traditionally published'.
She took Freelance Writing Stage 1 and Inside Publishing (previously called How to Get Your Book Published) at the Australia Writers' Centre and the result is the publication of her first non-fiction book The Music Maker, (Big Sky Publishing).
"The Music Maker has taken me four years to write and is the true story of my grandfather, Drum Major Jackson. He was a musician who fought in two world wars, was captured in France early in the second, was sent to Poland and survived five years in a number of prisoner-of-war camps, while forced to perform for the Germans as their "kapellmeister" – maker of music.
Jaci says writing The Music Maker has been a true labour of love and has caused her much heartache, but it also sustained her, given her hope, as it is also a love story – a story of inspiration and one she hopes will stimulate much conversation on the subject of resilience and survival.
Jaci says taking the AWC courses reinforced her determination to write and gave her a plethora of information.
"The tutors didn't 'sugar-coat' writing as a career path, nor the industry. They were realistic, said that like any job it required dedication. The courses laid open the diverse options available to writers, be it for profession or pleasure, and that writing is not necessarily a career path for everyone, but can definitely be a creative outlet for everyone.
"I began to think of writing in the same way as, say, acting, yoga, art and sports. I could opt in and out depending on my needs at the time.
Jaci sent her manuscript out to only a handful of independent publishers and within a surprisingly short amount of time she received interest from three, including Big Sky Publishing.
"Denny Neave is the military history editor of Big Sky and is passionate about POW stories. He was the first to offer me a contract to publish The Music Maker in Australia. After meeting him, I signed up with Big Sky Publishing at the end of 2017.
Jaci says one of the most useful things she's taken from the AWC course is the camaraderie.
On Perth Tonight Chris Ilsley spoke with Jaci Byrne, author of The Music Maker, a non-fiction novel about her grandfather and how music sustained him through two world wars.
Nowadays Jaci writes full-time but her hours are not always structured.
Jaci had always dreamt of being published, but it was only during the writing of The Music Maker that she began believing it would happen.
"When your heart sings while you're working, it's not work, it's music…" Jaci says.

Matthew Perry Reveals He Nearly Died In 2018 Amid Addiction Struggles
"Friends" star Matthew Perry has opened up about a near-death experience several years ago due to his struggles with alcoholism and opioid addiction.
In an interview with People magazine for its cover story, Perry, 53, said he was given a 2% chance of survival in 2018 during an extended stint in the hospital. At the time, a representative of the actor said he had experienced a gastrointestinal perforation.
Now, Perry is elaborating, saying he spent weeks fighting to stay alive after his colon burst from opioid overuse. He was in a coma for two weeks and spent five months in the hospital. He also had to use a colostomy bag for nine months, he told People.
"I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that's called a Hail Mary. No one survives that," he said.
Perry said he wasn't ready to talk about his ordeal until now. He reveals more about his life and addiction journey in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."
"I wanted to share when I was safe from going into the dark side of everything again," he told People. "I had to wait until I was pretty safely sober — and away from the active disease of alcoholism and addiction — to write it all down. And the main thing was, I was pretty certain that it would help people."
He's been to rehab 15 times and undergone 14 surgeries related to his addiction.
The actor said that when he was first cast on the sitcom "Friends" at age 24, he was already in the early stages of his alcohol addiction, but he felt that he "could handle it. Sort of."
The series went on to become an international sensation and ran for 10 seasons over 10 years. Perry said that while there were periods he was sober during that decade, by the time the show was ending, he was "really entrenched in a lot of trouble."
"Season 9 was the year that I was sober the whole way through. And guess which season I got nominated for best actor? I was like, 'That should tell me something,'" he said.
He said his castmates were understanding and patient throughout. They got together in April 2021 to film their emotional and star-studded reunion special.
Now, Perry hopes his story helps others.
"I'm grateful to be alive, that's for sure. And that gives me the possibility to do anything," he said, emphasizing that "everything starts with sobriety."
"Wanting to tell the story, even though it's a little scary to tell all your secrets in a book, I didn't leave anything out. Everything's in there."

I am a biologist with a special interest in what happiness is about. I am in the fortunate position to pursue that interest as a scientist working for the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. For me, a key question is: How can we organize a society in a way that caters to human well-being and at the same time saves the environment?
The intentional community movement attracted my interest several years ago for two reasons. For one, as a scientist I like to perform experiments. While that is relatively straightforward when dealing with mice or rats, humans are difficult. Fortunately, humans are quite keen on doing experiments on themselves. They set up all sorts of strange environments to live in. As a scientist all I need is to harvest information as to how these experiments proceed. Intentional communities are perfect in this respect as they are located within mainstream society, yet have particular qualities that set them apart. It means the inhabitants start out with the same cultural background, yet choose to live in a way that contrasts with what is typical for industrialized countries. The question is what impact this choice has.
My other reason for approaching ICs is that they do, in certain ways, lead us back to the "roots of the human soul." At least, that is the way I see it. For most of my professional life I have tried to understand how evolution has shaped the human brain—a topic that may be referred to as human behavioral biology. Industrialized society has a severe problem reflected in the statistics of mental disorders and the concomitant reduction in quality of life. As a human behavioral biologist I look for possible causes in whatever is different between the present way of life and the environment that shaped our genetic constitution. The latter can loosely be referred to as Stone Age tribal life. We appear to be in a situation similar to animals living in a deprived setting such as an unsavory zoo. There are elements in ICs that reflect an adaptation to our genes. I do not suggest that we should move back to the Stone Age—there are too many benefits of modern life—but we may take a lesson or two from our past.
In order to utilize the potential inherent in the IC movement, I contacted Professor David Sloan Wilson at Binghamton University (upstate New York). Like me, he is a biologist who brings an evolutionary perspective to the question of how to best organize society. He recruited his Ph.D. student, Ian MacDonald; while I recruited a psychologist from my Institute, Ragnhild Bang Nes. Together we formed a team aimed at tackling the required research.
With the help of the Fellowship for Intentional Community, and Laird Schaub in particular, we contacted a large number of communities to ask their members to fill in an anonymous questionnaire. The questions probed topics such as life satisfaction, social connectedness, and mental issues. To motivate participation, respondents were entered into a cash lottery draw, with prizes totaling $6000 being awarded to the community the winners represented. In total, over 1000 people responded, spanning 174 communities (primarily in the US).
The number of participants was sufficient to do meaningful statistical analyses. We were particularly interested in: 1) How people were coping in intentional communities compared to outside populations; and 2) what communal features correlated with well-being. We hoped the results might help communities improve their organization and philosophy. Moreover, there might also be communal features that can be applied to mainstream society in order to improve life satisfaction. The world is in dire need of finding ways of living that combine a happy life with a reduced ecological footprint.
So, how did our scientific musings fare when confronted with real-life persons living in these communities?
A key observation was that people in ICs reported to be very happy with their lives. Obviously, happiness is not as easy to probe as weight or body temperature. One accepted measure is based on questions of the type: "I am satisfied with my life", where people respond on a scale from Strongly disagree (value 1) to Strongly agree (value 7). We used a set of five such questions (based on a strategy developed by the psychologist Ed Diener). The participants scored on average 5.4 (on a scale from 1-7 where 7 is the most happy). This is on par with the best results obtained in any population, and well above the typical response of North Americans.
There are some obvious caveats. For one, individuals who choose to live in ICs may be characterized by a more positive sentiment than the average population. Moreover, the subpopulation that filled in the questionnaire may have been further selected in the direction of positive attributes. In fact, we did see that the respondents had a high level of education, and they scored well above the US norms as to desirable psychological traits—such as emotional stability, agreeableness, extroversion, and conscientiousness.
Although a selection bias may partly explain both the satisfaction with life and other attractive attributes, there are reasons to believe that the results also reflect an advantage of communal life. This position is supported by the highly positive response to the following two questions: 1) How satisfied are you with your community?; and 2) How has your life changed since becoming a member? The average scores were respectively 5.9 and 6.1 on the 1–7 scales used. At least most of the participants expressed very strongly that their lives had improved by living in an IC. Moreover, the high scores on Emotional stability and Conscientiousness correlated with the number of years in the community.
We went on to examine which features of life in ICs might be responsible for the reported satisfaction with life. Satisfaction had a strong correlation with social support; inhabitants with a high level of supportive friends and associates were happier. The same was true for those who engaged themselves in, and felt oneness with, their communities. These results are not at all surprising. Social connectivity is generally found to be the most prominent predictor of happiness, and the participants scored relatively high on measures of social life.
Perhaps slightly more surprising was the observation that the number one predictor of life satisfaction was to have found a meaning in life. Again, the present population scored high on this measure when compared to other studies of US populations. Moreover, those who reported to be searching for a meaning were considerably less happy than those who had found a meaning.
Social connections were presumably important for the survival of prehistoric humans. We evolved to live in small-scale, tribal communities (perhaps 20-40 people) with tight connections and considerable engagement in tribal affairs. Some of the benefits we uncovered in our study may be ascribed to ICs offering a somewhat similar setting.
The importance of finding meaning in life is less obvious. It may be explained by an evolutionary mechanism installed to spur the individual to do whatever is construed as conducive to the propagation of life (and thus genes). In a hunter-gatherer society, daily activities required for sustenance probably reduced the need for seeking meaning elsewhere. The present focus on meaning, or purpose, may reflect an alienation from the traditional way of life. Daily activities no longer entail the same palpable relevance, thus meaning has to be sought in other spheres of life. ICs are probably better at catering to this need compared to general (industrialized) society. As implied by the term intentional, they gather people under an umbrella of some form of intent. Furthermore, many communities stress the importance of growing, and preparing, their own food.
It is important to reduce the ecological footprint made by the average citizen of industrialized countries. We need, in other words, to decrease consumption. The participating communities belonged to three loosely defined categories: 1) ecovillages (focusing on sustainability); 2) cohousing and related initiatives based on practical and/or psychological benefits of communal life; and 3) religious communities (where a shared belief system is the main foundation). Regardless of their main focus, most ICs converge on a lifestyle of less expenditure. Indeed, many respondents in our sample mentioned sustainability concerns as a primary reason for joining their community. Supporting the effectiveness of this position are several existing studies indicating that members of ICs do leave a smaller ecological footprint.
It is difficult to sell a low consumerism lifestyle to the general population if it means a reduced quality of life. That, perhaps, is the real beauty of our results. The participating IC members proved that it is possible to combine happiness with a low impact lifestyle. The research was admittedly based on long-standing communities—the respondents had on the average 10 years of tenure. Establishing a flourishing IC requires hard work and considerable perception; but when successful, there are distinct benefits for both members and future generations.
The success is apparently due to features that may be manifested, or at least reached for, by both mainstream and alternative societies: a strong social network and a meaningful life. The feasibility of these attributes, even within large cities, is suggested by the fact that many of the participating communities were indeed situated in cities—typically in the form of cohousing ventures.
The first scientific paper based on the project has been submitted to a scientific journal, yet our research project is far from finished. There is a lot more data to mine from the questionnaire responses already obtained. We also find the IC movement to be a very interesting venue for further investigations. Hopefully, this research will benefit both the community initiatives and greater society.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs explains the pinch zoom gesture to the Macworld audience at the January 2007 iPhone introduction in San Francisco.
PatentlyApple has uncovered a bunch of multitouch related patents from Apple recently published by the US Patent and Trademark Office. First of all, Apple has been awarded key patents related to multitouch gesturing on both mobile devices and desktops. More interesting than that is the news that the company is thinking how to simplify multitouch gestures in order to make them more natural and memorable.
It involves a little help from input devices like the Magic Trackpad and notable gesture modification motions, mid-drag gestures and microgestures within gestures that would make possible new user interface enhancements, such as a Spaces-like feature for iPad envisioned in another Apple patent. The documents describe a bunch of new gestures with excruciating detail. New finger moves come with crazy names, like Ohm and Wiggle (multiple short movements with sharp changes in an arbitrary direction). They involve drawing familiar shapes with your finger, like stars, arrows, circle, crossbar, the infinity sign and other.
In the big picture, Apple states that their newly proposed methods and interfaces will reduce the cognitive burden on a user while saving battery life. If we're lucky, we may even get to see some of these new gestures playing out in various demo's at this year's WWDC keynote.
And because mid-drag gestures allow for faster use of user interfaces, they consequentially conserve power, too.
Apple was toying with new multitasking gestures (swipe to switch running apps, claw for the multitasking bar) in the first iOS 4 beta only to scrap them in subsequent betas. Registered developers can still unlock multitasking gestures by marking their iPad "for development" using the SDK tools. There are also unsanctioned apps for jailbroken devices that unlock new gestures. The fact Apple left the door open is a clear signal that new ways of interaction are being worked on, they're just nor ready for prime time yet. It's just not something you wanna rush out because multitouch gestures – once remembered – stick into mind and therefore should be carefully conceived like it was second nature for users.


Curling for Bibury! | Bibury Antiques Fair 2019!
Wow, with all the Olympic excitement about Curling, and I must admit, I do fancy having a go, it somehow is, I think, slowly exciting, addictive perhaps, and a mixture of lots, the target and actions a cross between archery, bowls, and more, or is that just how I see it?
Well, here is a miniature curling stone, which once held a wee dram, sadly been empty for a long time, but I guess it could be refilled! Call in and see us at Bibury Village Hall on March 4th to see if it's still for sale!

The business of legs is a serious one - a long, toned set can carry off any fashion trend from skinny jeans to '70s-style minis to a high-cut on-trend bikini. Good legs are age-defying, glamorous and on everyone's dream body wish list. But unless you're a professional ballerina and are being paid to tone those legs through endless of hours of dance every day who has the time to turn those legs into a perfect 10?
#1 Diet: Avoid added salt or sugar. Those two create water retention and when you add gravity into the mix, most of the retained fluid will go to the lower parts of the body.
#2 Barre work: Do a high repetition of ballet pliés performed on tip toes. I recommend starting with five minutes and building up to 15 minutes or more.
#3 Hip raises: Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor (on tip toes), lift your hips up and down and maintain tip toes during the whole exercise. Start with six minutes and build up to 20 minutes. These exercises will hurt - but the trick to toning your legs is high repetition body weight exercises.
#4 Daily walk: Add a daily walk of one hour every day to relax the body and mind.

Пушкомитраљез, понекад и лаки митраљез, је аутоматско оружје, намењено за дејство против групних и појединачних живих циљева, ватрених извора, хеликоптера и једирилица. Од пушке има већи домет и брзину гађања. Основно је оружје стрељачког одељења пешадије, али га имају и други видови и родови. Носи га један војник, а у борби га послужује један до два војника пушкомитраљесца - нишанџија и помоћник нишанџије.

Настанак и развој
Увиђајући потребу пешадијске јединице за лаким и мобилним аутоматским оружјем за подршку, дански артиљеријски капетан Вилхелм Херман Олаф Мадсен после низа покушаја и неуспеха почетком развија пушкомитраљез Мадсен.  Оружје је било веома поуздано, али је производња била скупа и компликована. У мањем броју је кориштено у Руско-јапанском рату.

Избијање Првог светског рата убрзало је развој пушкомитраљеза, и све зараћене стране су их врло брзо увеле у наоружање. Допуњујући ватру митраљеза на блиским и средњим растојањима, пушкомитраљези су служили за одбијање јуриша и противнапада, за заштиту крила и бокова, као и за држање важних положаја. Средином Првог светског рата, стрељачке чете многих армија су их имале између осам и дванаест.

Међу успешније моделе спадају француски Бертје , амерички Луис , као и немачки Бергман  и Парабелум МГ 14 .

Српска војска је на Солунском фронту имала укупно 3,838 пушкомитраљеза,  углавном француских М1915 Шоша () . Био је компликован и непоуздан, али је био једини доступан Српској војсци у том тренутку. Без обзира на недостатке, значајно је повећао њену ватрену моћ. Шоша је једини масовно произвођени митраљез са дејством на принципу дугог трзаја цеви.

Након Првог светског рата, развој је био усмерен ка смањењу тежине и калибра, упрошћавању конструкције, побољшању поузданости, повећању брзине гађања, као и стварању система који могу дејствовати с постоља као митраљези, што је каснијим развојем довело до настанка митраљеза опште намене.

У том периоду су настали многи модели који су одиграли веома битне улоге у Другом светском рату, као што су амерички M1918 BAR ,чехословачка Збројовка ЗБ Вз. 26 "Зорка", немачки МГ 34, совјетски Дегтјарев ДП-27, италијански Бреда-ФИАТ М1930 и француски Шателеро М1924/29. Немачки МГ 34 се сматра за први модерни митраљез опште намене  и у време увођења у наоружање је сматран за најмодерније оружје тог типа на свету. Према потреби је могао дејствовати са својих ножица као пушкомитраљез, са постоља као митраљез или као противавионски митраљез, а могао је бити интегрисан у читав низ возила и оруђа, као што су околопни транспортери, тенкови, па чак и приколице мотоцикала.

У већини армија тог времена, у саставу стрељачких водова су формирана пушкомитраљеска одељења, чијом ватром је обично руководио командир вода. Јединице војске Краљевине Југославије биле су наоружане чехословачким Vz 26, односно домаћим верзијама М30Ј и М37, француским Шоша М.1915, као и домаћом верзијом тог митраљеза, означеном као М.1915/26. Године 1941. сваки стрељачки вод је имао три пушкомитраљеза.

Након избијања Другог светског рата, концепција Блицккрига немачке армије поставља нове тактичке захтеве и појачану ватрену моћ пешадијске јединице, па даљим развојем модела МГ 34 настаје МГ 42.

I cannot tell you how many times we heard this from people whilst on holiday in Lanzarote in July. Sure, travelling with our newborn, Jasmine, wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do but with the Great British Summertime once again showing signs of being a wash out, hubby and I felt that we needed a guaranteed week of sun, not only for us but also for our 10-year-old, Olivia. I'd travelled with Olivia since she was 3 months old so applied some lessons learned the second time around. Here are some of my top tips for travelling with a teeny tiny one.
· In the evenings: I'd strap Jasmine on, tuck her in and off we'd go for dinner – just be careful when you eat with them on… mind their heads! Oh and remember they're strapped to you when you push your chair in – basically act like you're pregnant all over again!
You know when you buy something from Amazon and it says to you, "Hey, because you bought this, we thought you may like this too…" or "Other people that bought that item, also bought this item…" and you think, "Lead me not into temptation, Amazon, I can find the way myself, thank you very much." Well, on this occasion, Amazon really came through for me by suggesting that, as I had bought a sun cover for the pushchair, I may also like this CozySwan clip-on foam fan that attaches to the pushchair, car seat or cot. Wow, what a little rockstar that petite foam fan was. It not only kept Jasmine cool in her pushchair throughout the day, it could also be sat on the table in a restaurant to keep her cool during a feed. Oh so cheap and oh so effective! Since we got back, it's been keeping her cool in her cot and has even doubled up as a stand to balance the baby monitor camera on. Winner winner puréed dinner!
This is a bit of a nice-to-have but if you can avoid having to get your family up at stupid o'clock in the morning for a stupid o'clock flight, then do. I appreciate that sometimes it's the best option financially and you potentially get the whole day in the sun BUT think carefully. Travelling with a littl'un is hard enough as it is without adding tiredness into the equation. Same for the late night flights… having one whole extra day in the sun may seem like a good idea but at the end of that day, you need to get yourselves washed, repacked and inevitably end up waiting around either at the hotel or at the (likely cold and overcrowded) airport with overtired babies, bored siblings, a grouchy hubby and who has to hold it all together… MAMA!
Honestly, even with hubby/family there to support you, there really is little time for actually sunbathing for anything more than 15 minutes at a time with a baby and maybe other little ones around, so there goes any chance of you returning home like the Bronze Goddess you deserve to be! There is also a chance that you are going to feel more tired than energised on holiday and that you are going to be surrounded by lots of pert, fresh-faced young people doing back flips into the pool without a care (or ounce of cellulite) in the world! So you know what I do? I fake it. I get myself booked in for a spray tan 2 days before we leave, I use a tinted lip gloss with SPF, I do my eyebrows with Benefit's new waterproof ka-BROW gel and I keep my hair back in a neat plait to avoid the inevitable humidity frizz – think Monica, Friends and ta daaa – sleep? Pfft! Sleep's for the weak!
#noexplanationrequired – our complex actually ran out of pink gin because of me!


On 20th February 2017, Kamlesh, a Soochna Seva worker received a tip-off on the rampant black marketing of ration happening in the Ward no. 19, Weaver Colony, Khatipura, Jaipur. The area dealer was stocking the food materials and deserving community members were forced to buy food items from the open market. The poor were unable to afford open market prices and were left malnourished. The rich in the area were reported to be buying off food items on payment of bribes. Shishir and Kamlesh, Soochna Seva fellows, decided to fix the issue and went in the area for more investigation. The following observations were made by them about the inconsistencies in the ration distribution.
Ration dealer opens shop for just 4-5 days in a month and for about 2 hours per day.
Ration dealer goes door-to-door in the area and takes thumb impression of registered candidates against the promise of ration delivery in the next month. All this transaction happens without any written document or receipt. If anyone asks for the receipt, dealer tells them to collect it from the shop later. The community members informed Soochna Seva that dealer is never available at the shop and the guy who sits to fill in his position always give lame excuses- like the no paper roll in machine, server is down or slip is stuck – in generating a proper receipt.
Very poor quality wheat is being distributed by the ration dealer.
The ration dealer distributes 10 Kg wheat per family, whereas the quantity of ration (wheat) per person is 5 kg/month per person by the government. This hurts marginalized section and it doesn't matter if the family has 2, 5 or more members they will just get 10 Kg wheat. The dealer is practicing this molestation of rules and regulations since last 6 months.
Further investigation showed that 2 registered beneficiaries with card number -119001909175 and 119001909176- were unaware of the fact that their share of ration was being blatantly stolen by ration dealer. Their details on raj.nic.in reflected that beneficiaries have raised their share of ration but in reality none of them have received any food supplies. The ration dealer was allegedly lifting their share of ration and was messing up with the biometric thumb impressions of the beneficiaries. This is a matter of digital collapse as biometric machines used at ration shops fails to prevent black marketing of food items. This is a subject of the police inquiry.
The Soochna Seva team to constitute a comprehensive analysis met more community members and documented their complaints. All these participants online ration details were carefully checked, individual data was found out to be highly inconsistent with the delivery of ration delivered to them in person. It was clear that the people are being cheated and there is a nexus between ration distributor and the local counselor. The team along with community members confronted ration distributor. Initially, he denied the charges leveled against him but later succumbed to the collective pressure especially when the team produced online details proving his crime. He accepted to compensate the stolen ration with all the concerned population of the area. 22ndFebruary was fixed as the date to distribute the pending ration but the news of this development spread like a wildfire in the neighborhood and around 70 residents came and got their 7-8 months overdue ration within 2 days. The total food items distributed were weighed to be around 4700 Kg. Later, the youth in the area were trained to extract online ration details on their smartphones to avoid any possible exploitation by the dealers in future.

Final Fantasy VII Remake's Xbox Release Date Leaked
This Leak Are Mistake
Xbox Germany posted a video on their Facebook page announcing Final Fantasy VII Remake for Xbox One on March 3rd, 2020.
The video, which has since been taken down and apologized for, seems to indicate that the proper reveal of which consoles FFVIIR will be on is coming soon. Considering the German source, the most likely culprit is the late-August Gamescom. Also of note is that the E3 2019 FFVIIR trailer lacks the "play it first on PlayStation 4" that the other 2-4 year old trailers lack. The FFVIIR E3 2019 press release still says that it will debut first on PS4, but the meaning behind that is currently unclear.

All of this information comes from a Twitter thread made by user @Nibellion, and is supported by tweets made by members of Xbox Germany (who really shouldn't have said anything). FFVII vanilla is now available on every modern console and PC, so this news isn't that far-fetched, but it does come as a pleasant surprise for Xbox fans.
We'll probably see more news about Final Fantasy VII Remake next month, so until then, keep living your life and grinding through your latest FFVII playthrough (we both know you're doing one).
