Sunday 9 November 1662
(Lord's day). Lay alone a good while, my mind busy about pleading to-morrow to the Duke if there shall be occasion for this chamber that I lie in against Sir J., Minnes. Then up, and after being ready walked to my brother's, where my wife is, calling at many churches, and then to the Temple, hearing a bit there too, and observing that in the streets and churches the Sunday is kept in appearance as well as I have known it at any time. Then to dinner to my brother's, only he and my wife, and after dinner to see Mr. Moore, who is pretty well, and he and I to St. Gregory's, where I escaped a great fall down the staires of the gallery: so into a pew there and heard Dr. Ball make a very good sermon, though short of what I expected, as for the most part it do fall out. So home with Mr. Moore to his chamber, and after a little talk I walked home to my house and staid at Sir W. Batten's. Till late at night with him and Sir J. Minnes, with whom we did abundance of most excellent discourse of former passages of sea commanders and officers of the navy, and so home and to bed, with my mind well at ease but only as to my chamber, which I fear to lose.

Must admire Sam, waking from and falling to sleep obsessed with Sir J. Minnes's designs on Sam's chamber; yet when opportunity offers genuinely enjoying "excellent discourse" with Sir John and Sir W. Batten.

Can this repetition be a stab at a pun?
"to St. Gregory's, where I escaped a great *fall* down the staires of the gallery: so into a pew there and heard Dr. Ball make a very good sermon, though short of what I expected, as for the most part it do *fall* out."
Talk about l'esprit de l'escalier.
And am I alone in thinking that the matter of the possible loss of "this chamber I lie in [to] Sir J. Minnes" has become Sam's King Charles's Head?

When Pepys talks about pleading tomorrow to the Duke, I think he's using the word in the legal sense of pleading a case. I'm not a lawyer but think that this is now more an American legal usage than a British one, but I could be wrong about that. If you have a copy of Microsoft Word you'll see that it has in its list of template documents a "Pleading Wizard", which probably is not as interesting as it sounds.
Glyn on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
Linda F - Probably most people enjoyed talking to Minnes when he was in the right mood, because the background info says that he was a witty conversationalist, and Pepys always seems to enjoy hearing tales of the navy.
I do wonder if Minnes and Batten were talking about Cromwellian sea captains as well as Royalist ones, and their battles against foreign navies. I imagine Minnes and Batten had a lot of entertaining stories for the young landlubber.
Nix on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
Pleading to the Duke --
I think he is using it as we now would use the term "arguing" rather than in a sense like "imploring". I don't think it is quite in the sense of a formal legal proceeding, but I agree that it does not include the element of pathos we include in conversational use of the term.

Rev. Josselin vs Conformity - cont'd...
The Rev.'s diary entry for today:
"A warm winter hitherto, but wet one great flood, god good to me and mine in outward mercies, new Ministers this day at Colne Engain. - Mr Symonds and at Cogshall Mr Jessop . both of good report, and now I am left alone of the nonconformists, what god will do with me I know not. I trust he will be a hiding place, and help me that I may work, and not wound my spirit."

My take for wot it be worth? "...my mind busy about pleading {making an earnest appeal tointercede on my behalf] to-morrow to {with} the Duke ..."
"...the Sunday is kept in appearance as well as I have known it at any time..." would this mean, very few people out and about, as it be a bit of an overcast and many of the populace, do not wish to atttend a service as they be not a liking the new Parsons?.
Pauline on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
"...pleading to-morrow to the Duke..."
Tomalin has figured out that "[t]here were no fixed working hours for officers of the Navy Board, although their meetings were held twice weekly at Seething Lane, and they attended the duke of York as lord high admiral in Whitehall once a week on a Monday morning--sometimes they found he had gone hunting instead."
Sam may be obsessing with what he will say if Mennes raises the issue of the chamber for the duke's ajudication.

"for the most part it do fall out"
I took this to be - "as they usually seem to be"

"…the Sunday is kept in appearance as well as I have known it at any time…"
People going decorously to Church, no apparent revelry or slackness, - the Restoration need not apologize to the Commonwealth - that's how I read it. But then, after all, Sam has thrown in his lot with the Restoration.
"for the most part it do fall out" - it usually happens that sermons aren't quite as good as you hope they are going to be. Again, that's how I read it.
It's startling, as on other Sundays, to see Sam sampling so many churches of a Sunday morning, treating them the way we do shops in a mall.
Jeannine on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
"It's startling, as on other Sundays, to see Sam sampling so many churches of a Sunday morning, treating them the way we do shops in a mall."
Stolzi-In his book "Samuel Pepys In the Diary" Percival Hunt writes of Sam's family church (St. Olave's) and then has another essay devoted to the 30 or other churches that Sam visits during the life of the diary. There is no actual explanation as to "why" Sam goes to a variety of churches but Hunt does set forth the one consistent theme. "Even when Pepys went to another church, he was not led by change of place into writing vividly of its service. As at St. Olave's his interest came chiefly from the unchurchly. Instinctively, his interest rose at novelty, even trivial novelty....(gives assorted examples)..When all was usual, Pepys, if he wrote anything, catalogued, with no comment or a barren one. His mind set to work when he faced the new;and he was not concerned with judgement of its value." (p. 47)
Perhaps Sam's high level of curiosity and his vigor to take in all of life around him drew him to explore, visit, look for the unique and write about it?
pjk on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
…sampling so many churches…
One of the fascinations of the diary is trying to recreate-mentally- Sam's world (and world view) but it is quite difficult to imagine a life in which the majority of Sam's information about the world comes directly from people within walking distance. In that environment a couple of talks, per week, by a University educated (a rarity) clergymen might be an intellectual treat.
What were the newspapers like at that time? In a quick seach I find references to censorship and the 1662 Print Act but does anybody on the site know what Sam might have had a chance to read?
Mercurius Publicus [p79,p81 Restoration London]and London Gazette, are two names of many of the circulating news/broad sheets, many I'm sure were hung on the wall for the populace to read, The tabloids were numerous , that be why they passed laws to prevent differing accounts of the daily affairs, there by some were under cover or out of site of the nosey ones. Sam was able to get his news directly from the horses mouth rather than a day late via other filtered outlets.
Terry F on 10 Nov 2005 • Link
"Can this repetition [of 'fall'] be a stab at a pun?" and other quesions about Fall.
I missed the allusion to King Charles's Head, Bradford, but did catch a possible pun on the Fall of humankind in Genesis 3 (as Christians see it, Sam being at a[nother] church); and on the season of the year (my yards being spread with leaves newly fallen) -- until I read the Rev. Josselin's reference to "winter."
What season of the year is it called in 1662? And if it is "winter" (with a solstice at its middle, let us suppose), when did it change to "fall" or "autumn"? Was it with England's laggard change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar ca. 1750?
We know these thing have changed, because we know come January we are coming up on 1662/63, in accordance with Aelfric's *De Temporibus Anni* (ca. A.D. 1010): "The Roman people begin their year in the wintertime, in accordance with the custom of the heathens. The Hebrews keep the beginning of their year at the spring equinox. The Greeks begin their year at the solstice, and the Egyptians in the autumn. But the Hebrew people who obeyed God's law began their year most correctly, that is, at the spring equinox on the twelfth kalends of April [21 March], on which day the sun, the moon, all the stars and the seasons of the year were created." http://www.engl.virginia.edu/OE/aelfric/detemp.ht…
When the New Year began is in a state of flux at this time (Diary time, not 21st c). In a legal sense, the New Year began on April 1st, but some would still hold to Easter being the New Year (this was derived from the Hebrew custom) and Lady Day (March 25th) was the "New Year" for annual leases and rental payments and contracts. January 1st was not the significant day it has become and maybe there were still some who might think November 1st was New year from the pagan practice (pagan practices continued in some parts of the UK until well into the 20th century (see any writings by Prof Anne Ross)). Sam seems to go with April 1st for dating, but then he did begin the Diary on January 1st. Confusing, isn't it?

In Emily Dickinson's family, 200 years later, on the other side of the Atlantic, discussion of the quality and technique of the day's sermons was a favorite topic of Sabbath-day discussion.
King Charles's Head: "A phrase applied to an obsession, a fixed fancy. It comes from Mr. Dick, the harmless half-wit in Dickens's 'David Copperfield,' who, whatever he wrote or said, always got round to the subject of King Charles's [the First's] head, about which he was composing a memorial---he could not keep it out of his thoughts."

In 1662, in the middle of the Little Ice Age, at this date the leaves would have been off the trees by the end of October and the temperature would have dropped so that it would be the start of winter.
Nowadays climate change has extended autumn so that in London the final leaves will still be falling at the corresponding date, November 21 New Style. This change has occurred during the 40 years I have lived at my present address.

Stumblin' Out The Gate and Dunlap & Mabe started as a solo project from Jack Dunlap at the end of 2020. Jack and Robert had toured together as the Robert Mabe Band in 2019, but when the shutdowns forced them to stop touring, they looked into other projects they could do. Jack also had his band, the Jack Dunlap Band, which consisted of mandolin, saxophone, bass, and drums, playing a funky type of Jazz-Grass. In 2020, Jack also recorded a solo record of just mandolin and bass to reflect the kind of music he knew he'd be playing throughout the shutdowns. He brought Alex Kimble in to play bass on that project.
At the end of 2020, Jack decided to record a more Bluegrass/Newgrass type record so he could explore and focus on his guitar playing a bit more. Since he had concentrated on only playing mandolin for the last eight years at that point, he felt drawn back into the music he first fell in love with when he started playing at the age of 12. That album was originally going to feature Jack on guitar and mandolin, Robert on banjo, Mason Wright on fiddle, and Kevin Johnson on bass.
When things started to open back up in 2021, Robert and Jack began playing together again, sometimes as the Robert Mabe Band and sometimes as the Jack Dunlap Band. Mid-2021, they decided to partner up and become Dunlap & Mabe. They brought in Alex Kimble on bass and Mason Wright on fiddle. By then, the songs that Jack planned to release on his new solo record had evolved the more the band played out, so he decided to scratch that project and start again as Dunlap & Mabe.
In August 2021, the new band went into the studio for the first time to start cutting the new record. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Will Shenk and features 9 original songs and 1 cover. It was co-produced by Jack Dunlap, Robert Mabe, and Will Shenk. 3 singles were released in 2022, with 2 making their way to the Bluegrass Today Grassicana chart.
1. Time Is Running Out (Jack Dunlap) (4:01) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
ISRC: QMS4L2200161
Written by Jack Dunlap
Published by Frogtown Music (BMI)
Time Is Running Out was written by Jack Dunlap. It was originally going to be featured on his solo project that evolved into Stumblin' Out The Gate. It was written in the Fall of 2020 while Jack was "in his rediscovering the guitar" stages. "I was sitting in my lesson studio one day waiting for a student and just running through some riff ideas. I knew I wanted to write a story song based on something that might happen in a Western movie. All of a sudden, the first line came to me, "Just through the holler I hear their horses run…" and the rest of the song just came out." -Jack Dunlap
2. Can't Hold Me Down (Robert Mabe) (2:58) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Written by Robert Mabe
Arranged by Robert Mabe and Jack Dunlap Can't Hold Me Down was written by Robert Mabe. Jack and Robert played this one together throughout 2019 as the Robert Mabe Band. When songs were picked for Stumblin' Out The Gate, this one was a no-brainer. It's quickly become a fan favorite."Can't Hold Me Down is a breakup song. It expresses the struggles of ending a long relationship and fighting through the darkness to realize the light of a new and better life on the other side." -Robert Mabe
3. Flowers Down Below (Jack Dunlap) (5:19) Grassicana / Bluegrass / Roots
Flowers Down Below was written by Jack Dunlap. It was originally going to be on a follow-up album to his solo mandolin record, "The Isolation Sessions". He wrote it for solo mandolin and even performed it that way in 2020 during solo shows. It eventually was transferred to guitar and was another song that was originally going to be on his Bluegrass solo project.
"Flowers Down Below is a mournful song about loss and never gaining closure. Maybe you were in an abusive relationship, and you left but never got justice. Or maybe you have someone who's passed away you never had the chance to make peace with. It's an open-ended feeling that can make it seem like you're drowning and can't make it up for air. You feel alone, tired and broken, and that's the feeling I wanted to channel in this song and performance." -Jack Dunlap
4. Stumblin' Out The Gate (Robert Mabe) (3:38) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Featured Instrumental
Published by Frogtown Music (BMI)Stumblin' Out The Gate was written by Robert Mabe. The instrumental on the album this one showcases the band's fantastic instrumental abilities."This one I feel took the most work arrangement-wise. Robert brought this one to the band in early 2021. Touring hadn't kicked back in yet, but we were playing 4 shows a weekend as a trio at The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV. At that point in the pandemic, we weren't allowed to sing at venues in West Virginia, so we had to come up with two hours of instrumentals. Robert showed us this one, saying "Yeah the A part is in 9 and the B part is in 4, oh, except where it goes back to 9." Alex and I just looked at each other. We went through a lot of different arrangements, but nothing ever felt quite right. One afternoon, I was messing around with it, and I thought, what if instead of a 9 feel I just put it to a bluegrass rhythm? Well, it worked. Then I thought, what if we make the 9-part a three-part round? Now, that part took some more arranging, but it worked! This is one of my favorite songs on the album to play live. It's super fun to play, and I'm proud of how this one turned out." -Jack Dunlap
5. Sailing Song (Jack Dunlap) (4:49) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Sailing Song was written by Jack Dunlap. It was another song intended initially for Jack's bluegrass solo project. "I wrote the melody to Sailing Song on the way home from a Jack Dunlap Band practice one night. I spent the rest of the evening trying to think of lyrics I could put to it, but it wasn't until I laid down and shut my eyes that it hit me, "Sailing on the ocean, sailing far away…" and it wasn't long until I had the rest of the song down." - Jack Dunlap
6. With The Other Not Around (Buddy Dunlap) (3:40) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Written by Buddy Dunlap
The Other Not Around was written by Buddy Dunlap. It was initially recorded on a record by the band Lonesome Highway in 2009 called The Highway Called. "This song was written by my brother Buddy. We played it together for years while I was in Bud's Collective. I brought this one to the band because I felt we needed an up-paced bluegrass tune to add to the set, and this one fits right in there." -Jack Dunlap
7. On The Bottom (Robert Mabe) (3:51) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
"It's a song about unfaithfulness—a painful observation of someone having an affair and the consequential end of the relationship. I had toyed around with the song's main riff for a while, originally thinking it would be an instrumental, but it sounded so fitting for the lyrics/theme to On the Bottom. Once it was written and arranged, I still wasn't sure it would be a good song. After rehearsing it with Jack, Alex, and Mason, I knew it was a good and perfect fit for Dunlap & Mabe."
-Robert Mabe
8. Goodbye Marie (Dennis Linde/Mel McDaniel) (3:35) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Written by Dennis Linde and Mel McDaniel
Published by Dennis Linde Legacy (BMI)Goodbye Marie is a Kenny Rogers song from 1979. It was written by Dennis Linde and Mel McDaniel and tells the story of someone who goes to Mexico and falls for a girl he can't stay with. "I first heard Goodbye Marie in 2014 when I first discovered the album Wired! by the band Livewire. I was immediately drawn to it but didn't think about working it up until 2021. We dig the song so much we've played it in just about every performance since then, so it had to go on the album!" -Jack Dunlap
9. Don't Know Why (Robert Mabe) (5:05) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Published by Frogtown Music (BMI)Written by Robert Mabe, Jack and Robert had been performing Don't Know Why at live shows together since 2019. It was initially recorded on Robert's live album several years ago at The Bright Box Theater in Winchester, VA. "This song looks at corrupt media, failed politicians, and a naive population….draw your own conclusions." -Robert Mabe
10. Sit and Watch It Rain (Jack Dunlap) (4:39) Genres: Bluegrass, Folk, Americana
Sit and Watch It Rain was written by Jack Dunlap, also in 2020, during his "rediscovering the guitar" stages. It, too, was going to be featured on his solo bluegrass record that eventually became Stumblin' Out The Gate."Sit and Watch It Rain is a classic heartbreak song. A man tore down by losing his love; he can only find peace and satisfaction when it's raining. I also use rain as a drinking metaphor, so this song is about how loneliness and desperation can lead to unhealthy habits and addiction." - Jack Dunlap

About "Dunlap & Mabe"
Bell Buckle Recording artists, Jack Dunlap & Robert Mabe have been touring the country together since 2019; though collectively have performed and recorded with the likes of Larry Keel, Gina Furtado, Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, Scythian, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, Bud's Collective, The Fly Birds, Dry Mill Road, Old Town Flood, Shannon Bielski & Moonlight Drive, Tim, and Savannah Finch and The Eastman Stringband, Lonesome Highway, Circa Blue, and Jakobs Ferry Stragglers, to name a few.
They have also graced prestigious stages all over the country, such as The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Carnegie Hall in New York City, Lied Center for Performing Arts in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Hamilton in Washington, DC, and Forbes Center for the Performing Arts in Harrisonburg, VA.
In 2019, Robert brought Jack into the Robert Mabe Band to fill the vacant guitar spot. At the time, Jack was prominently a mandolinist. He had played mandolin with Bud's Collective since 2012 and had his own Jack Dunlap Band, which featured mandolin, saxophone, bass, and drums, playing Jazz-Grass and funk primarily.
When 2020 hit and tours were canceled, they each turned to different things to make ends meet. Jack focused on playing solo gigs while Robert worked odd jobs around his town. Towards the end of 2020, Jack started delving back into guitar and found a new love for Bluegrass music, the style he had grown up playing. He began writing for a Bluegrass/Newgrass album so he could explore the guitar more. Jack brought Robert in to play banjo on the record.

Family members of the labourers who were shot dead by terrorists in Kulgam, mourn in their village in Murshida...Read More
SAGARDIGHI (MURSHIDABAD): There's a deathly silence even before you enter Bahalnagar. Which is why the wails sound deafening after you actually set foot in the village. Five men from five impoverished families had gone to faraway Kashmir, dreaming about eking out a living at the Valley's golden apple orchards. Now, their families await their bodies in coffins while staring at an uncertain future: their only bread-earners will never come back.
The overwhelming grief is tinged with a strain of relief at two families: their men escaped death by a stroke of luck.
Septuagenarian Ameer Hussain, completely bedridden for months now, had called up his son, 36-year-old Murshelin Sk, complaining that he had run out of money to buy medicines. "Don't worry, Abba," Murshelin told him. "Just buy what you need on credit from the local store, and I will repay them when I come back." Murshelin had a November 1 train ticket to come back home, Ameer says, his voice trailing off.
Murshelin's wife, Saira Biwi, says he had wanted to earn some money to ensure his daughter at least passed Madhyamik. "And he wanted to buy a bicycle for our son, Johirul. He would not have gone to Kashmir, but we ran into a lot of debt, and he also insisted on building a pucca house. My father-in-law requires Rs 70-80 worth of medicines every day. Murshelin had calculated that he could easily earn Rs 17,000- Rs 18,000 before the harvesting season. Now, everything is lost. I can't even think what lies ahead."
Forty-two-year-old Tamiruddin Sk had gone to Kashmir to pay for the medical costs of his elder daughter, 16-year-old Tuhina. The teenager, who suffers from a severe kidney ailment, is a long-term patient at the state-run SSKM Hospital in Kolkata. For the van-rickshaw puller — with two other daughters and a son — it was the promise of some quick earnings that drew him to Kashmir. "He was working too hard to earn money for his elder daughter's treatment," said his wife, Roshanara Biwi. "She has been in hospital for weeks, and he would always look for odd jobs to earn some money. He wanted her to recover and take her Madhyamik examinations. Now, everything is lost." She says now everything is lost for her and her daughters, Tuhina, Sohana and Sakina and son Saukat.
Majhia Biwi, whose husband Rafiqul Sk, 28, also died in the Kulgham terror attack, says they were misled the night before. "After we heard of the incident on television, we tried to reach out to the person for whom they worked. His was the only cellphone that worked. He repeatedly told us nothing had happened, and to call back after two hours. We kept hoping. It was only when officers from Sagardighi police station arrived at our doorsteps, that we realise what happened," Majhia says, holding her two kids — aged 5 and 2 — tight.
Unlike the others, Naimuddin Sk, 39, had been to Kashmir several times before, said his teenaged son, Lalchand. "He spoke to me on Tuesday afternoon to say he'd be back soon. They had train tickets for November 1," Lalchand said. "In previous years, about 150-200 people used to go to Kashmir in this season. They worked in Pulwama. But after the attack there, few left for Kashmir this year. My father and seven others — including Rafiq Sk, 26, who has a three-year-old daughter — had left together 26 days ago and were supposed to return together."
Sadar Sarkar (36) and Bakkar Mollah (51) were plain lucky to have escaped death. Sadar told his brother that their employer had called them to his home to finalise some accounts. After it turned dark, the employer asked them not to return to their tenement, as he had heard of some trouble there. At that time, they had no idea that six of their mates from back home had been shot by terrorists.
The families of the eight villagers were informed about the tragedy in Kashmir by local police late on Tuesday. They were told Sarkar and Mollah "had survived" the terror attack but Jahiruddin Sk (32) was shot in the leg. Jahiruddin's father, Abdus Samad Sarkar, said he prayed all night to ensure he survives.

Former IDF general: 'This government is madness'
"All the basic values of the effective functioning of a government, of a healthy organization, have simply been thrown away!"
By 104.5FM VIA MAARIV ONLINE
Updated: JANUARY 2, 2023 07:40

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is endangering Israel's security through his irresponsible decisions, former Deputy Commander of the IDF Northern Command, Maj.-Gen. (Res.) Eyal Ben Reuven has said.
"The prime minister knows very well how irresponsible his decisions are to the point of endangering the security of the country," said the former general in an interview on Sunday with Yoav Mintz on Radio Tzafon 104.5FM.
"I am not afraid of a collision between Galant and Smotrich, I am afraid that there will be an inevitable collision between soldiers in the IDF and those under Smotrich's command," he added.
The general referred to the current "strange" situation in which there are effectively two defense ministers, saying: "Everything that happens in this government is madness. It is trolling. In my opinion, it is a serious issue that the prime minister who is responsible for our security, the economy... [and] for all of us... [is making] decisions [which] border on irresponsibility to the point of endangering the security of the country."
"All these delusional decisions are [aiming at] one goal as clear as the sun: to save the state of justice in Israel. All the basic values of the effective functioning of a government, of a healthy organization, have simply been thrown away!" he said.

On the appointment of Yoav Gallant as defense minister, Ben Reuven said: "I know him very well...he can be a fine defense minister. That is not the problem. The problem is that he is given a broken-down defense ministry."
"There are people [in government] who have a question mark regarding their criminal behavior in the past and there is a question mark regarding their behavior in the future. The message to the people of Israel is clear: It is permissible to be a criminal, it is permissible to break the law, it is permissible to incite. You cannot be a commander in the IDF or take up senior positions in the civil service, but you can be elected - you can be in the government!"
Netanyahu's court case
On the subject of the ongoing criminal case against Netanyahu, Ben Reuven said that: "The court that is supposed to handle the prime minister's case. Instead, we see ideas about intolerable laws. Majority legislation in the Knesset to create personal legislation for the benefit of the criminal Deri! What Is this the law that will serve the prime minister in the future?"
When asked if the High Court of Justice could change the decision, he replied, "Yes, but [the government] will overturn the High Court the next day, in an overriding sentence."
"What is a Supreme Court? We have now seen the UN's decision to investigate us and to investigate the activities of the IDF. They could also investigate me as a former military man. How have we fought and succeeded so far for IDF officers and soldiers? Thanks to our court. The world saw in the Israeli court as a body of justice - we investigate ourselves. We received legitimacy and backing for it. When you see what is happening now in court, what kind of support will [it get us]?"
Smotrich and security
Ben Reuven later returned to the security issue and referred to the disturbing possibility that "the minister of defense will say one thing and Smotrich will say another."
According to him, there is reason to worry: "You are worried and rightly so, based on lessons learned in blood. We learned the need for unity of command and full coordination between all the arms in the security sector. [Particularly in the case of] Judea and Samaria, because these are the relevant points of friction. So what do we do now?"

When asked if he predicts that there will be a collision between Galant and Smotrich, he replied that "a collision between Galant and Smotrich worries me less. I am more worried that it will be between soldiers in the IDF and Smotrich's command! Everyone will make different decisions. You don't just act by force. [When speaking to] the Palestinian side, the coordinator of operations in the territories does it."
In concluding the interview, the former general referred to the investigation into the death of the late Sergeant Eitan Fichman during an exercise in the Golan Heights, calling it "a very sad accident."
The soldier was inside the turret of his tank and was crushed by the cannon during the training exercise.
"I was glad to see in the announcement that the commander of the Northern Command and the Chief of Staff are taking this accident far beyond the technical issue of how to prevent such an accident in the future."

BRICS: The Future of Champagne?
Forget about Bordeaux. Emerging economies are catching onto the charms of prestige cuvées and look set to become the lifeblood of the luxury Champagne trade. But with rising costs of production and reduced spending power in traditional bases, the road ahead will be far from easy for the Champenois.
Global Champagne sales in 2011 managed to scrape into positive figures with a 1% rise, most of which was driven by a surge in appreciation and sales from BRICs countries. Within LVMH's wine and spirits portfolio, it was solely markets outside Europe and the US that generated actual revenue growth in 2011. Whilst in the UK – historically the biggest export market for Champagne – year-on-year sales moved towards decline.
The Asia Pacific region once again confirmed its significant role in Champagne consumption, as import rates to Russia and China in 2010 grew 89.9% and 87.6% respectively. Whilst the Chinese interest in Bordeaux and Burgundy has been well established with astronomical auction prices, for the first time the region is developing a substantial appetite for Champagne. In Mainland China, young, urban consumers are increasingly choosing sparkling in bars and nightclubs.


Just a not to say I've put the downloads online again. Please only download the issues of interest.
Demand seems very high for these scans right throughout the world. Twenty five gigabytes a month seems barely enough, so I'll have to see how it goes.

Maybe you should consider making them available via Bit Torrent - that way the community can help share the load.
I sold a box load of those mags on trademe a few years ago. Was sad to see them go.
After a long hiatus I've dusted off the scanner and put up another issue.
It's amazing how expensive gear was those days. $900 for a hercules graphics card!!
Another one from June 1986.
This is a partcularly interesting issue in that it has an interview with Steve Woz. and Andy Hertzfeld on Apple and it's directions. Recall this was only a year or so after Steve Jobs was sacked. It also has a review of the Amiga and an article on the collapse of the home computer market in the UK. Good stuff!
P.S. I seem to be missing the May, July and August issues from 1986. If anyone has them and is prepared to lend them to me for scanning I'd be grateful. My scanning is non-destructive so you would get them back.

I don't have any after March 1990.
Thanks Andrew, that would be great. I'll PM a postal address.
Do you want those missing issues to own or just for loan so you can browse through a real "hard copy"?
One ad features none other than Tim Shadbold. This was his pre-mayor days when he was still a concret contractor. He was known then only as a late 1960s radical student leader, hence the use of the same word in the advertisement.
Bugger, I've just discovered that there is something wrong with my hosting site. Zip files are sent up from me just fine, but are corrupt when downloaded.
I'll investigate, but in the meantime don't download any of the magazines unless you want to use some bandwidth unnecessarily.

I'm looking to buy or swap those. I have no idea what happened to my original copies!
Ahhhh my local mayor. He might be a sellout, and he might abuse smokable substances, but he gets the job done and everyone loves him regardless.

Ok FIXED (I think). I'd appeciate it if someone could download a copy or two to confirm.


The Lookout marks the directorial debut of Scott Frank who wrote the screenplay for movies like Minority Report, Out of Sight and Get Shorty. Scott Frank also wrote the screenplay for The Lookout and while he got the tension down pack, the plot is a little too predictable and a lot of the characters are just used and then thrown away without a logical conclusion. Nevertheless this movie still manages to engage and entertain.
In The Lookout, Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the star player of his high school's hockey team. He has it all, including, the wealth parents, the nice car and the pretty girlfriend. One night while driving down a road, to better see the firebugs, Chris turns off the headlights. Chris, his girlfriend and another couple, in the back seat, are involved in a car accident. After the accident, the next time we see Chris, he is a completely different person. That damage to his brain has left him, to name a few, with short-term memory lost and anger control problems. His life is now made up of attending special classes where he learns how to create and follow a sequence and working nights as a janitor for a local bank. He lives with a blind man named Lewis (Jeff Daniels) who helps Chris round the house. Hoping to meet a girl, Chris hangs out at a local bar where he meets Gary Spargo (Matthew Goode) and Gary introduces him to Luvlee (Isla Fisher). Chris and Luvlee immediately hit it off. Drawing Chris closer using Luvlee as bait, Gary tells Chris he wants to rob his bank and fools Chris into believing that the money from the robbery will restore some remnants of the life he once had.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt likes to play challenging characters (Mysterious Skin, Brick), and he does a pretty good job accuracy portraying a person with a brain injury. Joseph plays the character of Chris in a way that you don't feel sorry for him and that is hard to pull of with these type of characters. Jeff Daniel is flawless as the quick witted blind man who has be through a world of hurt, but has come through the other side a better person. The movie, however, was a little too predictable and since the movie is marketed as having a twist, the third act was a big disappointment. Also, the character of Luvlee either was not fully written or was cut down from the movie, because she seems to abruptly disappear. The most shocking thing of all, was that Bone (Greg Dunham) one of the member's of Gary's gang was dressed like someone from the Matrix, and his character is even less developed than Luvlee's. The only thing I know about him was that he knew how to use a shot gun. So while this movie has some shortcomings, it is still an interesting and exciting thriller.

Professionals tend to make things seem very complicated, in an effort to make the the recipients of their advice feel stupid, afraid, intimidated and prone to follow orders. Let's pick a profession like medicine. Why do doctors use such ridiculously complicated terms? They could easily substitute ominous-sounding symptoms for "boo-boos" and take all the stress and anxiety out of the situation. They don't do it because it would diminish their feelings of omnipotence.
Since I don't really care about all that, I'll omit any pretentious advice and only share with you some simple hacks of how to approach an interview. We need to start with the premise that the interviewer has a couple of important needs to be met. Primarily, they desire for their lives to be made easier by hiring someone. They would also prefer the person to adequately accomplish the job at hand, be relatively pleasant to work with and, hopefully, the prospective employee would have the boss' back when needed.
"Yes, I am highly interested in the role." When you let a hiring manager know that you are interested, it makes the process much easier. The manager breathes a sigh of relief and recognizes that the candidate is onboard and sold on the opportunity. It is like middle school all over again; if you know that the cute girl/boy in class likes you, you will be more apt to ask her/him out on a date to see a movie.
"What would someone need to do to become successful in this role?" Instead of mindlessly talking about yourself, hoping to stumble upon what an interviewer wants, just ask them. Once you inquire as to what is required and the hiring manager provides a concrete answer, you could then share specific skills, experience and activities you engaged in that will enable you to succeeded in the new job."How can I best help you?" Who wouldn't want to hear that? That one simple sentence demonstrates to the manager that you care and truly desire to help.
"Yes, I researched all about the company." Then, share some pertinent insights and knowledge that you gathered about the company. It shows that you did your homework and are interested in the company and not just haphazardly interviewing.
"Yes, I read the job description thoroughly." Share your understanding of the job, its requirements and how you meet them."I checked out the LinkedIn profiles of people at your company to see their backgrounds." It may sound a little stalkerish, but interviewers want to know that you came to the interview prepared. By researching the company, it demonstrates your motivation, interest, intellectual curiosity, drive and sincere interest in the role.
There are other questions to ask and statements to make, but I think you get the message. The goal is to portray yourself as someone who wants to help contribute, has done your homework and arrives prepared. You want to avoid coming across as a prima donna demanding entitlements. Rather, you want to convey that you will contribute in a positive and meaningful way.
Yes, it is that simple. The hiring manager will view you as a breath of fresh air—a person who is motivated, polite, professional and possesses the qualities and willingness to do the hard work necessary to succeed.

William Henry Fitzhugh Lee (May 31, 1837 – October 15, 1891), known as Rooney Lee (often spelled "Roony" among friends and family) or W. H. F. Lee, was the second son of General Robert E. Lee and Mary Anna Custis. He was a planter, a Confederate cavalry General in the American Civil War, and later a Democratic Congressman from Virginia.

Early life
Lee was born at Arlington House in Arlington, Virginia, and named for William Henry Fitzhugh, his mother's uncle. At an early age, his father began to call him Rooney; what prompted him to use this nickname is not known, but it stuck as a way to differentiate him from his cousin Fitzhugh Lee.

Rooney Lee attended Harvard University, where he befriended Henry Adams, who wrote about his relationship with Lee in chapter four of his autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams.

Lee followed in his father's footsteps after graduation, entering the United States Army in 1857 as a second lieutenant. He served with the 6th U.S. Infantry under Albert Sidney Johnston, and participated in the Utah War against the Mormons. In 1859, he resigned from the U.S. Army to operate his White House Plantation, on the south shore of the Pamunkey River, in New Kent County, Virginia.

Civil War
With the outbreak of the Civil War, Lee was commissioned as a captain in the Confederate Army cavalry and was soon promoted to major. He initially served as a cavalry commander for Brig. Gen. William Loring in the mountains of western Virginia during his father's Western Virginia Campaign.  Loring's forces were transferred to the lower Shenandoah Valley and the command of Stonewall Jackson in late 1861, and occupied the town of Romney in early 1862. Lee was soon after assigned to the command of Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, who was leading the cavalry forces for Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Northern Virginia, in the Peninsula Campaign. After joining Stuart, Rooney Lee's regiment participated in Stuart's first ride-around the Union army, as well as the subsequent Seven Days Battles around Richmond. During this time, Rooney's nearby White House plantation was burned to the ground, and his son Robert died of typhoid fever.

During the Northern Virginia Campaign, Rooney played a leading role in Stuart's well-crafted attack on General John Pope's supply base at Catlett's Station on August 22, 1862, capturing a paymaster's safe full of Yankee greenbacks.  His cavalry regiment was assigned to the brigade of Brig. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, his cousin, for the Maryland Campaign. Following the Battle of South Mountain, Lee was knocked unconscious after a horse fell from under him, and was unable to participate in the Battle of Antietam.  Upon his recovery, he temporarily commanded Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry brigade in Stuart's Chambersburg Raid; his conduct earning him promotion to brigadier general.  He then commanded the 3rd Brigade of Stuart's Cavalry Division at the Battles of Fredericksburg mere weeks after the death of his infant daughter.  During the Battle of Chancellorsville the following year, Lee was detached from Stuart's cavalry to defend against Stoneman's 1863 Raid.

At the beginning of the Gettysburg Campaign, Lee was shot in the thigh during combat at Brandy Station.  He spent the next two weeks recovering at Hickory Hill, Virginia, before being captured by Union forces.  As a prisoner of war, he was sent to Fort Monroe for several months, before being shipped to New York, where he was held until returned to the Confederate Army on February 25, 1864, in exchange for Union Brig. Gen. Neal S. Dow.

In April 1864, Lee was promoted to major general and commanded a division in the Cavalry Corps during the battles of The Wilderness; Todd's Tavern; Spotsylvania Court House; and North Anna in the Overland Campaign. With the death of Jeb Stuart, Rooney Lee's role increased. Lee's cavalry division patrolled the extreme right of the Confederate lines during the Siege of Petersburg, defending against the Wilson-Kautz Raid at Staunton River Bridge, Sappony Church and First Ream's Station. His division was then sent north to briefly aid in the defense of Richmond at the Second Battle of Deep Bottom, before supporting General Wade Hampton III's Beefsteak Raid, and then returning to Petersburg for the Battle of Boydton Plank Road.

By last year of the war, Rooney Lee had risen to second-in-command of the Confederate cavalry in Virginia; General Hampton having been transferred to South Carolina to raise troops, and Lee's cousin, Fitzhugh, promoted to overall command. Lee's cavalry division screened the Confederate evacuation of Petersburg, notably at the Battle of Namozine Church during the Appomattox Campaign.  He surrendered along with his father at Appomattox Court House with only 300 officers and men, one-tenth the size of the command during the Petersburg Campaign.

Postbellum career
Lee returned to White House Plantation and planting after the war. Nearby, his younger brother Rob lived at Romancoke Plantation across the river in King William County.

After their mother died in 1873, Rooney inherited Ravensworth Plantation, the old Fitzhugh family property (near present-day Springfield) in Fairfax County with  of land. He moved there with his family from White House.

In 1875 Rooney was elected to the Virginia Senate, serving until 1878. He was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1887. He served in the House until his death at Ravensworth in 1891. He is interred in the University Chapel at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, with his parents and siblings.

Marriage and family
Lee married twice, first in 1859 to Charlotte Georgiana Wickham, daughter of George and Charlotte Carter Wickham and a descendant of the attorney John Wickham and his wife. They had two children, Robert Edward Lee (March 11, 1860 – June 30, 1862) and Charlotte Carter Lee (October 19, 1862 – December 6, 1862). Charlotte Georgiana Wickham Lee died December 26, 1863.

On November 28, 1867, he married Mary Tabb Bolling. They had two sons, who both lived to adulthood: Robert Edward Lee III (February 11, 1869 at Petersburg – September 7, 1922 at Roanoke, VA) and George Bolling Lee (August 30, 1872 at Lexington – July 13, 1948 at New York, NY).

Lee's mother, Mary Anna Randolph Custis, was the only surviving child of George Washington Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh. George was the grandson of Martha Dandridge and step-grandson of President George Washington.

Lee was also a descendant of Charles II of England through Lady Charlotte Lee (granddaughter of Barbara Villiers), who married the 4th Baron Baltimore, and possibly, a descendant of George I, through Benedict Swingate Calvert (grandson of Lady Charlotte Lee), the illegitimate son of 5th Baron Baltimore and of an unknown mother, who was supposed to be Melusina von der Schulenburg, illegitimate daughter of the King.

Beetles Have a Big Appetite for Waterlettuce
By Jesús García
The state of Florida spends about $650,000 annually to control waterlettuce, Pistia stratiotes, an aquatic weed that has spread throughout waterways in the southeastern United States and abroad. Now, three different species of the Argentinorhynchus weevil have recently been found to feed on this mobile weed pest that is thought to have originated in South America.
Agricultural Research Service scientists at the South American Biological Control Laboratory in Buenos Aires, Argentina, are conducting tests to determine just how effective A. bruchi, A. breyeri and A. squamosus might be as waterlettuce biocontrols.
According to Hugo A. Cordo, who leads the ARS effort in Argentina, preliminary indications are that the weevils--especially A. breyeri--can kill the weed if enough larvae develop on one plant. But this is a trickier prospect than expected, because very specific environmental conditions are necessary for the weevils to pupate.
Until now, details about pupal development--the most critical stage in the weevil's life cycle--have been a mystery. The researchers found that full-grown larvae actually abandon the plant and bury themselves in the muddy bottom of the water body. They also found that the drying out of the water body seems to contribute positively to the underground development of the pupae. This adaptation may increase the weevil's effectiveness in waterlettuce-infested areas that are exposed to alternating wet and dry spells--conditions that also lead to weed seed germination.
Both larvae and adults inflict significant damage on waterlettuce, with each species preferring a different part of the plant during their nocturnal feedings. For example, A. breyeri larvae feed on tissues within the central part of the plant rosette, while A. bruchi and A. squamosus feed, respectively, on the upper and lower parts of the rhizome, or root. So far, this three-tiered attack has been successful in controlling the weed's spread in lab tests in Argentina. Further success could soon bring this formidable biocontrol threesome to the United States.

Dropbox today announced plans to continue expanding its global private network by offering its global collaboration platform on the Equinix Cloud Exchange FabricTM, and by launching six new points of presence across North America and Europe that will improve performance and reliability for users globally.
The new points-of-presence are expected to go online in Atlanta, Denver, Berlin and Toronto in the first half of 2018, followed by Stockholm and Oslo in the second half of the year. By the end of 2018, Dropbox expects to have an infrastructure footprint that spans 29 facilities in 12 countries on four continents including North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
By establishing network infrastructure in regions where Dropbox is seeing increased adoption, the company can carry its traffic using dedicated bandwidth. Each accelerator is based within co-location facilities that also house infrastructure from other ISPs; many of which connect directly into the Dropbox network through a process called peering.
Peering allows Dropbox customers to avoid sending their traffic over the open internet, where it could travel through a web of different ISPs before finally reaching the Dropbox data centers. The greater number of ISPs the traffic travels through, the greater the risk of increasing latency, which can lower reliability and also negatively impact performance.
By peering with Dropbox, customers gain access to fast, reliable bandwidth owned by Dropbox and dedicated exclusively to their use; ultimately improving their performance and reliability. Dropbox offers peering for free and currently has thousands of peering partners around the world.
While peering connectivity to Dropbox remains available for customers such as NSPs or enterprises that operate more advanced networking protocols, today Dropbox is offering a second option by participating on ECX Fabric. ECX Fabric is an on-demand platform that will enable Equinix customers to discover and dynamically connect to any other customer likeDropbox across any Equinix location globally, including cloud service providers and users.
Dropbox is a leading global collaboration platform that's transforming the way people and teams work together. With more than 500 million registered users across 180 countries, we're on a mission to unleash the world's creative energy by designing a more enlightened way of working. Dropbox is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, and has 12 offices around the world. For more information on our mission and products, visit dropbox.com.

Although rebooting or spinning off a tv show is not a new concept, many shows from the 90's and 2000's are beginning to take part in this trend. These shows have been either greeted with excited fandoms uniting or criticals comments saying they should have been left as it was.
Examples of these reboots and spinoffs include Netflix's "Fuller House" and "Gilmore Girls: A Year in a Life", The CW's "Charmed", and CBS' "American Idol". Netflix will also release "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" that will premiere today on Netflix.
One of the longest lasting chains of spinoffs is The CW's "The Vampire Diaries" franchise. They released "The Originals" in 2013, and have announced another spinoff called "Legacies" that aired yesterday.
According to TVLine, a reboot of a show might have the same title and inherent premise of the original series, but ultimately has a new cast and its own interpretation of the show. Netflix's "Queer Eye" and The CW's "Dynasty" are examples of shows that kept the original premise of the show but were taken in a new direction by the producers. They were rebooted from the initial shows of Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and ABC's "Dynasty".
A spinoff, on the other hand, revolves around some of the original cast but with a new setting and storyline. These shows revolve around some of the original characters in a new storyline, such as Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" and "Bunk'd", having a connection to the original shows "Boy Meets World" and "Jessie".
However, some of these shows were not as warmly accepted back as their networks would have hoped. In 2013, Cartoon Network launched "Teen Titans Go!", based off of the cartoon "Teen Titans". The original show aired for five seasons and garnered a huge superhero fan base over the course of the show. However, "Teen Titans Go!" did not do as well with critics and the public audience, airing for only one season and earning a score of 5.3/10 on IMDb.
Even though some shows did not receive as many positive reactions as their counterparts, many reboots and spinoffs have lived up to their predecessors. Disney Channel launched a spinoff of the show "That's So Raven" in the summer of 2017 called "Raven's Home". It follows Raven Baxter, the main character, as she handles life as a single mother with physic powers.
This show received a lot of publicity due to the decade that had past in between the shows. As it moves onto its second season, it has received a 7.7/10 on IMDb.

The Kensington Junior Golf Tour hosted its season-ending Ryder Cup tourney format on Aug. 8 at Moose Ridge Golf Club in South Lyon, while also staging its traditional county competition and expanding this year's tourney to include collegiate and caddy championship play.
Livingston County junior golfers seized the cup by edging out Oakland County in the best-ball tourney with 31 points.
Trailing runner-up Oakland (30 points) were Wayne County (27) followed by 2014 and 2015 defending champion Washtenaw County (21).
Moose Ridge's capacity field of 88 competed in two- and four-person squads. Points were awarded on each hole based on lowest individual scores.
"We saw very close competition amongst all four counties with only one point separating our winner and runner-up teams," Kensington Tour director Nathan Oake said. "Special congratulations go to Wayne County. It was their first year out and they made it very close. The Wayne County girls are a powerhouse. They made it very exciting."
Austin Carter, 20, fired two rare eagles to propel Saginaw Valley State University to victory in the men's collegiate division. Teammate Mason Motte, also 20, turned in an impressive performance as well.
The duo, both hailing from Port Huron's Bluewater area where they competed on rival high school teams, carded a best-ball, 4-under-par 67.
Carter's first eagle came on the par-4, No. 7 hole.
"If you gave me 100 balls, I wouldn't be able to recreate that shot again," said Carter, who sank an uphill putt. "My drive ended up on the back portion of the green. I hit it to 3 feet (from the pin) from 286 yards. Everything lined up perfectly,"
His second eagle came on the the par-5, No. 18.
"I drove it out there, had 150 yards to the hole and pulled out a 9-iron," he said. "I stuck it to within 3 feet and made the putt again. I went for it and I was rewarded very well."

Virginia Gilton and Megan Baumgartner, both entering their junior seasons, swept the women's division for Cleary College.
They combined for 83, despite Baumgartner forgetting her clubs at home.
"Luckily, my old irons were in my car," Baumgartner said. "Virginia let me borrow a hybrid driver and a putter. My putting was pretty good. We had a couple of good pars and Virginia birdied a hole by herself."
Austin Dillon, 22, and Michael Blaesser, 21, of Western Golf & Country Club in Redford shot an even-par 71 to capture the Kensington Tour's Caddy Championship.
Travis Tubbs and Alex Opiteck of Walnut Creek Country Club were runners-up.
"We hit the ball really well," Dillon said. "Both of us had a lot of opportunities for birdies, which made it easier for one of us to go at it. We both lipped out on a couple birdie putts."
Blaesser, who like Austin hails from Redford, birdied the par-3, No. 6.
"I hit my 8-iron and landed above the hole," Blaesser said. "Austin gave me a good read and I tapped it in from 8 feet. It felt good. We were even par at the time, so it was good to get it going."
Dillon, who birdied a par-3 on the back nine, enjoyed the format.

"It's fun, because if you or your partner aren't having a great hole, you don't necessarily have to keep playing," he said. 'He can carry you through for that hole and you can step up on the next one and make up for it. The event was well-organized and all the golfers had fun. Meeting kids from other clubs and talking to them was another good part about playing in it."
Of the Ryder Cup best-ball play, Oake said, "It's a new format of competitive golf that we want to teach the younger players. They all really seem to enjoy it. Any team can expect to win it, from top to bottom."
Northville's Sara Haupt, who spent her 13th birthday on the course, experienced just that contributing to her Wayne County squad's total and ending her season on a high note.
"It's been fun playing this summer to see if I do OK," she said. " I started out with 140 and at the Whispering Willows tournament I went down to 115."
Sara's sister Anna Haupt also put points on the Moose Ridge leaderboard.
Winning closest-to-the-pin honors in their divisions were Michael Hermann, 11, of Canton; Kristen Szabelski, 16, of Livonia; Blaesser; and Gilton.
Longest drive hitters included Emily Keyser of Cleary, Kyle Kozler of Barton Hills C.C., Jack Kamsickas of Northville, Sydney Bradford of Brighton Township, and Jeremy Gould of Belleville.
Oake saluted all those who competed. "What's noticeable is how much improvement everyone has shown this summer. This being our culminating event, it's very clear that working hard and competing all summer leads to improvement in your scores," Oake said.
The KJGT division champions also stood out.
Northville's Andrew Lackswept three of the Boys 15-18 age titles (Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw), while Brighton's Brendan Britz conquered the Livingston County championship.
In the Girls 15-18, Howell's Alyssa Snider earned both the Livingston and Washtenaw crowns. Livonian Madison Maurier captured the Oakland County title, while University of Detroit Mercy-bound Kendall Payne (Livonia Franklin grad) captured the Wayne County championship.
In the Boys 12-14, Novi's Dhruv Kumar captured the Wayne County championship, while Ashrith Mummadi, also of Novi, topped the Oakland division.
Other county champis include Ypsilanti Township's Vimal Alokam (Washtenaw) and Highland's Zach Piroli (Livingston County).
Ann Arbor's Ieuan Jones dominated both the Livingston and Washtenaw 9-hole divisions. Ypsilanti's Vibhav Alokam took the Wayne County title, while Westland's Damo Watson was the Oakland winner.
The Kensington Junior Golf Tour staged 27 tournaments at courses in Livingston, Washtenaw, Oakland and Wayne in its 11th season.
To support junior golf, the charitable Livonia-based Dinan Foundation offers academic college scholarships in conjunction with the tour. For more information, visit kensingtonjuniorgolf.com.

Typhoon Mangkhut batters China badly
Typhoon Mangkhut barrelled into southern China on Sunday after lashing the northern Philippines with strong winds and heavy rain that left at least 64 people dead and dozens more feared buried in a landslide.
More than 2.4 million people had been evacuated in southern China's Guangdong province by Sunday evening to flee the massive typhoon and nearly 50,000 fishing boats were called back to port, state media reported.
The gambling enclave of Macau closed casinos for the first time and the Hong Kong Observatory warned people to stay away from the Victoria Harbour landmark, where storm surges battered the sandbag-reinforced waterfront.
Hong Kong's RTHK broadcaster cited experts as saying Mangkhut was expected to be the strongest typhoon to hit the city in decades.
The Hong Kong Observatory issued its strongest storm warning for 10 hours on Sunday, just slightly shorter than the record time of 11 hours set by Typhoon York in 1999, the South China Morning Post reported.
The storm made landfall in the Guangdong city of Taishan at 5 pm, packing wind speeds of 162 kilometres per hour. State television broadcaster CGTN reported that surging waves flooded a seaside hotel in the city of Shenzhen. Groceries flew off the shelves of supermarkets in the provincial capital of Guangzhou as residents stocked up in anticipation of being confined at home by the typhoon, China's official Xinhua News Agency said.
Authorities in southern China issued a red alert, the most severe warning, as the national meteorological centre said the densely populated region would face a "severe test caused by wind and rain" and urged officials to prepare for possible disasters. Hundreds of flights were cancelled.
All high-speed and some normal rail services in Guangdong and Hainan provinces were also halted, the China Railway Guangzhou Group Co. said. In Hong Kong, a video posted online by residents showed the top corner of an old building break and fall off, while in another video, a tall building swayed as strong winds blew.
The storm also broke windows, felled trees, tore bamboo scaffolding off buildings under construction and flooded areas with sometimes waist-high waters, according to the South China Morning Post.
The paper said the heavy rains brought storm surges of 3 metres around Hong Kong. Hong Kong Security Minister John Lee Ka-chiu urged residents to prepare for the worst.
"Because Mangkhut will bring winds and rains of extraordinary speeds, scope and severity, our preparation and response efforts will be greater than in the past," Lee said.
"Each department must have a sense of crisis, make a comprehensive assessment and plan, and prepare for the worst."
Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific said all of its flights would be cancelled between 2:30 am Sunday and 4 am Monday. The city of Shenzhen also canceled all flights between Sunday and early Monday morning. Hainan Airlines ccancelled234 flights in the cities of Haikou, Sanya, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai scheduled over the weekend. In Macau, next door to Hong Kong, casinos were ordered to close from 11 pm.
Saturday, the first time such action was taken in the city, the South China Morning Post reported.
Macau suffered catastrophic flooding during Typhoon Hato last year, leading to accusations of corruption and incompetence at its meteorological office. In Macau's inner harbour district, the water level reached 1.5 meters on Sunday and was expected to rise further.
The district was one of the most affected by floods from Typhoon Hato, which left 10 people dead. In the northern Philippines, Mangkhut made landfall Saturday on the northeastern tip of Luzon island with sustained winds of 205 kilometres per hour and gusts of 255 kph.

Using a two-dimensional simulation analysis, we investigated the effects of sediment flushing on denitrification and the implications for two methods commonly used to measure denitrification in intact sediment cores: the N2:Ar-ratio method and isotope pairing technique (IPT). Our simulations of experimental chamber incubations showed that advective flushing of the sediment can significantly increase sediment denitrification driven by NO3- from the water column (up to a factor of 5), but that nitrification and coupled nitrification-denitrification is reduced under conditions of sediment flushing (up to a factor of 6). N2 fluxes across SWI may differ significantly from actual rates of denitrification for periods lasting from 1 up to more than 5 d after changes in parameters such as sediment flushing rate and water column NO3- concentrations. Simulations of the isotope pairing technique, showed that the rate of labeled N2 production, after the addition of 15NO3- may take up to ~24 h to reach steady state, depending on NO3- concentrations in the water column and sediment flushing rate. Measurements of denitrification in sand using IPT confirmed that short term incubations (11 h) underestimated the actual denitrification. Furthermore, model simulations were able to give a good estimate of measured N2 fluxes across SWI at different flushing rates under non-steady state conditions, confirming the ability of the model to realistically simulate experimental situations.
