I do not normally look in the Journal of the American Medical Association for recipes about healthy living, but obviously I should have.
The good news is that those who ate more wholegrain lived longer. For every ounce of wholegrain you eat a day the study showed you will achieve a 5% drop in mortality. This is the equivalent of a small bowl of porridge a day.
The even better news is I already eat porridge so I am on the right track.
By my reckoning, if I manage to eat 20 bowls of porridge a day I could live forever.
Wonderful, dreamy and comforting, to believe and think porridge keeps one warm, and the inner soul glowing? I wonder where has youth gone, and all that zest for life? (lead in ones pencil, and dreams of all those conquests Don Wan?).Or are you just to be cosseted in old age or can we still fight in what we believe in? The mind is willing, the body in more of a sorry state! But Hey Ho! I am not quite down and out just yet?
Keep posting MacDuff, I enjoy and am amused by your tirades and outbursts of human activity!!!
By the way do you still sit on the park bench every thurs/ friday and natter to the other oldies as you go to and fro for your weekly pension to the post office, (People to meet and chat to?) or are you on line with your bank/money provider in a cyber world of infinite space, and no one to have a natter with? Time to call in at the church hall and have a parish breakfast? ( Here Porridge comes to mind? But that is another story, and all those fairies or is it ships in the night passing one by with tales of wonderment and promises to come? in the forthcoming election???) I wonder where your thoughts are today? Alas your body maybe creaking at the door as your receive all this electioneering and party political bumf! Its a bugger to get disturbed and out of ones chair as one watches the daytime telly such as bargain hunt or other such programmes, full of golden oldies!

GovTech Innovation Leader GCR Chooses Orlando for its Center of Excellence
Orlando, Fla. (July 7, 2020) – GCR, Inc. (GCR), a leading public sector software and services firm, is opening a Center of Excellence in Heathrow that will focus on innovation in GovTech. It is the cornerstone of a significant investment in the company's State Government business unit, PCC, which will centralize and grow its software development operations in the location. The firm plans to hire 250 new employees over the next five years paying an average salary 150 percent higher than the average wage in Seminole County.
"We're thrilled to be part of the Central Florida community, and we are grateful for the leadership of the State of Florida, Seminole County, and the Orlando Economic Partnership for their exceptional work in welcoming GCR," said Tom Amburgey, the CEO of GCR. "Central Florida quickly became the clear frontrunner with its deep skilled-talent pool, proximity to airports and universities, and livability."
The Center of Excellence will gather together team members from different disciplines to create a cross-functional model focused on delivering solutions that will transform the way state and local governments operate.
"Congratulations to GCR on selecting Florida for the location of their new Center of Excellence and adding 250 jobs in Seminole County," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "Florida's talent pipeline and expanding technology sector make our state more and more attractive for companies like GCR to grow and succeed."
"Today's announcement reflects a positive trend that we are seeing as Florida becomes the ideal place to grow a tech business," said Jamal Sowell, President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Inc. "We will continue to share Florida's story so businesses can introduce new and existing industries to our diverse talent groups."
The facility will house the talent of a major software development company, including systems architects, developers, testers, business analysts, product managers, and administrative staff. GCR will base up to 75 employees there within the first year with plans to grow into the hundreds over the next few years.
"As a result of this unfortunate health crisis, economic impacts will be felt for years," said Seminole County Chairman Jay Zembower. "Economic development opportunities such as GCR provide Seminole County with the ability to make positive steps toward positively impacting the economic climate sooner rather than later. Our county is taking proactive measures on both the economic front, as well as the health front, allowing us to mitigate both aspects of the coronavirus crisis."
GCR chose Heathrow after an in-depth site selection process that involved more than a dozen leading locations across the country. The State of Florida and Seminole County provided an incentive that totaled $1.5 million through the Florida Qualified Targeted Industry program–a performance-based business incentive that provides companies a tax refund once new jobs are created.
"GCR's Center of Excellence is a perfect example of how Orlando provides a fresh start for companies to evolve and grow their culture," said Orlando Economic Partnership President and CEO Tim Giuliani. "The region's collaborative ecosystem and diversified talent pool create opportunity for companies to bring together diverse minds, ideas and skill sets in one place."
The Orlando Economic Partnership worked closely with the company's site location consultant, Seminole County and the State of Florida to build the case for the company's location decision, including an in-depth analysis of the region's talent using skills-based data. The presentation also included detailed information on the benefits of the region's tax climate, infrastructure and cultural amenities.
GCR's Center of Excellence will focus on overcoming the unique IT challenges facing state and local governments. During the COVID-19 pandemic, government services have remained essential to economic recovery. GCR has continued to see growth as an essential business helping governments dramatically improve the way they serve the public through innovation and technology.
"There is so much opportunity in GovTech, especially with emerging technologies that have the power to disrupt the technological status quo and radically transform the way governments do business," said Amburgey. "For decades PCC has been leading the charge, and we are doubling down on that legacy with an eye toward revolutionizing the GovTech space with new energy, new vision, and new products."
About GCR
GCR improves, expedites, and digitally transforms public sector offerings in the areas of critical infrastructure, land and grants management, elections, and government business services. Together with its subsidiaries, PCC Technology Inc. and MB3, GCR is recognized as one of the top government technology and service providers in the country.
PCC, founded in 1995 and acquired by GCR in 2016, is a leading provider of software to the state and local government market, and the premier provider of solutions for Secretaries of State across the country. It develops and implements the highest quality software solutions to support corporate registration, voter registration, election administration, ethics and disclosure, and land management, among others.

Locally made 12x16 acrylic painting on canvas by Jacki Bastable.
At the age of 50, Jacki was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy which causes black holes in her vision. As a result, for a time she had lost confidence in her ability to paint realistic images.
Jacki was inspired by a close friend in Turner Valley to try her hand at folk art under the direction of Evelyn Richmond at the Sheep Creek Arts Council. This awoke her love of painting on canvas once again.

Maria Muldaur With Tuba Skinny - Lets Get Happy Together (National Album Day 2021)
Format LP - SPLP1429
LP - SPLP1429
Label: Stony Plain
Catalogue Number: SPLP1429
When Maria Muldaur discovered the music of Tuba Skinny she learned that just like herself, these musicians study, play and immerse themselves in early blues, jazz and jug-band music of the 20s and 30s. Listening to their albums, Maria came to the conclusion that they were not just playing a marvelous repertoire of cool tunes with great skill and authenticity, but somehow channeling the very atmosphere and vibration of that bygone era. Just prior to the Covid Pandemic in January 2020, Maria asked Tuba Skinny to collaborate in a showcase performance at the International Folk Alliance Conference in New Orleans. It was so well received that an album was immediately conceived and recorded later that year, with the title track summing it all up: Let's Get Happy Together. Performing 12 songs as close as possible in feeling to the original recordings, Tuba Skinny and Maria Muldaur breathed life into rarely heard gems from this incredible era.

Black Southerners in Confederate Armies
Charles Kelly Barrow
Author and Lt. Commander in Chief, Sons of Confederate Veterans
Saturday, December 17th
Black Confederates? You're kidding right? The only black troops were Federals!!!! Not so, and far from it, says Kelly Barrow.
Barrow, author of two books on the participation of Black Southerners in Confederate Armies flies in the face of historical revisionists that claim the "war was about slavery". Barrow takes a lot of heat for his well documented scholarly works "Black Confederates" and "Black Southerners in Confederate Armies: A Collection of Historical Accounts". One so-called fact checking web site even calls claims of Southern black participation for the Confederacy 'pants on fire" (basically lying).
But facts speak for themselves. As a teacher, Barrow's desire was to bring to light facts that would create a "teachable moment". Over decades, he learned of the extensive participation of blacks in the confederacy, and he hoped that by exposing the truth would restore the common bond between Southerners, no matter their skin color. Barrow documents over 600 examples of black Confederates, in an attempt to help Souther blacks explore their roots.
Barrow first became active with the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1989. At that time he was a historian for the Georgia division, a position he still holds today. He has served the Georgia and Tennessee Divisions of the SCV as a Commander, Councilman, Historian in Chief, and Chairman for their National Awards Committee. In 1996, he was chosen as the Georgia Division Sons of Confederate Veterans' Confederate of the Year. He also received the United Daughters of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal in 2001.
Mr. Barrow also wrote "Sons of Confederate Veterans, Georgia Division: The First One Hundred Years 1896-1996 A Short History." A former platoon sergeant, Barrow has also held the positions of State Representative legislative aide and cotton quality classer. Currently he serves on the Shorter College Board of Trustees and is a commissioner for the Georgia Civil War Commission, a vice president for the Pike County Historical Society, and a commander for the Army of Tennessee, Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Barrow received his B.S. in social science from Shorter College in Rome, Georgia. While in attendance, he also served as senior senator for the Student Government Association and president of the Eta Pi Sigma history club. Barrow concentrated his efforts in history and military science for his B.S. but pursued a broad field for his M.A. in social studies and education at Piedmont College in Piedmont, Georgia. He received his Ed.S. in administration and supervision from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee.
Charles Barrow resides in Griffin, Georgia. He is an eighth-grade social science teacher and high-school soccer coach. He has enjoyed being a debate coach, track coach, head soccer coach, and football kicking coach.
Mr. Barrow will have copies of both books available for purchase and authograph after his presentation.
Mark your calendar to attend!
Please forward this "save the date" announcement to all interested friends, family and any others who may be interested in this special program.

Q: jQuery mobile multi page phonegap application I would like to develop a phonegap application that has a login page, if login is successfulm user gets to see #page1, based on details entered on #page1, user can either go to #page2 or #page3. How can I implement such a scenario? I also came across this link, if am implementing the kind of layout the 'sage' uses in that post, how do I get my other.html pages included in my application?
What is the best way to implement multiple pages that are either shown/hidden programatically based on user input and not clicks on Hyperlinks? That is my question.

A: Jquery mobile also do the same thing show hidden concept in the multi page transition. You can do it in your own way also. That is your wish.
Normally page transition can be done by this below example in jquery mobile phonegap,

Page 1 Heading

page Content

Footer Text

Page 2 Heading

page Content

Footer Text

Page 3 Heading

page Content

Footer Text

And you have to do the second or third page showing using javascript event.
Based on the condition, Load your pages like this,
$.mobile.changePage($('#pagetwo')); /*page navigation the particular where data shown*/
$("#index").trigger("pagecreate"); /*This is like a page refresh in jquery*/

Germany has the largest market on the European continent and is one of the leading countries in the informational technology sector all over the world. The country is a huge market given the fact that it has one of the largest populations on the continent, so if you have a local website, you will be able to reach without problems 10s of millions of World Wide Web users. You will also necessitate a .DE domain name, and we can provide you with both a .DE domain name and a variety of web hosting plans for it. With over 15,000,000 working Dot DE domains, .DE is the 2nd most widely used top-level extension around the world after dot COM, which exposes its potential and importance in the online world.
If you want to purchase a dot DE domain name, you can do so through our company at quite low prices. We also provide full domain administration options at no extra cost – you can change the WHOIS contacts, create and amend domain records (A, MX, CNAME, etc.), park your domain, etc., from one single place – our Hepsia Control Panel. There are no terms the Registrant needs to comply with, so any individual or entity can order a .DE domain name. The single condition is that the Administrative Contact must be a person/entity with a valid German postal address. With our company, your domain name can be operational within a couple of hours and you can secure it for a period between 1 and 10 years.
With a dot DE domain name, you can start a lucrative Germany-oriented web presence and get in touch with millions of people. In addition, the word "de" is also used as a preposition in Spanish, French, Portuguese and other languages, so if you aim at a state that speaks any of these languages, the dot DE extension will be an excellent option if you want to form a fine and appealing domain name. The dot DE top-level extension supports internationalized domains, so not only the site itself, but also the actual domain can be in the indigenous language and can employ any character that pertains to the given alphabet.
Make use of lumenhost's Domain Manager, which allows you to manage your .DE domain names from just a single location! Using it, changing your WHOIS details or DNS controls of several domains simultaneously will be as easy as pie. This outstanding domain management tool can be found in our custom-built Web Hosting Control Panel.
And, to top it off, you're able to easily control your domain names AND your websites without actually having to go out of the Control Panel - when you have a hosting account with lumenhost, that is.

Q: The De Morgan Formulas (for finite sets ) Pick an arbitrarily but fixed $w\in\Omega\;$ where $\mathbb{N}_n^* = \{1,2,...,n\}$. Then
$$
\begin{align}
w\in\left(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right)^C &\Longrightarrow w \notin \left(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right)\\
&\Longrightarrow \neg \left[w \in \left(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right) \right]\\
&\Longrightarrow \neg \{w\in\Omega:\exists k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*\; s.t.\; w\in A_k \}\\
&\Longrightarrow \{w\in\Omega:\forall k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*;s.t.\;w\notin A_k\}\\
&\Longrightarrow w\in\left(\bigcap_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k^C\right)\\
\end{align}
$$
Similarly, with regards to de Morgans 2nd Law:
$$
\begin{align}
w\in\left(\bigcap_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right)^C &\Longrightarrow w \notin \left(\bigcap_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right)\\
&\Longrightarrow \neg \left[w \in \left(\bigcap_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k \right) \right]\\
&\Longrightarrow \neg \{w\in\Omega:\forall k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*\; s.t.\; w\in A_k \}\\
&\Longrightarrow \{w\in\Omega:\exists k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*\; s.t.\; w\notin A_k \}\\
&\Longrightarrow w\in\left(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}_n^*} A_k^C\right)\\
\end{align}
$$

A: What you have shown is that if $w \in \left(\cup_k A_k\right)^c$ then $w \in \cap_k A_k^c$, that is $\left(\cup_k A_k\right)^c \subset \cap_k A_k^c$. You must also show the reverse inclusion. In fact, all your implications ($\implies$) are equivalences $(\iff)$, but I leave you to check that.
Other than that your proofs are fine. You may observe that you never explicitly use that your index set is the 'finite naturals', so you may exchange it for any arbitrary index set (hence the general De Morgan's).


Alfreton Town manager Nicky Law has made former Grimsby Town right back Bradley Wood his first new signing of the summer.
The Reds boss has signed twenty-one-year-old Wood on a one-year contract following his release by the Mariners on May 2.
Leicester-born Wood made a total of 113 appearances over a four year contract with Grimsby, scoring one goal. At the time of his release was the longest serving current player at the club.
Described as a 'combative and tough tackling defender', the versatile Wood has also played on the right flank and left back and was Grimsby Town's young player of the year in the 2010/2011 season.
In an article with the Grimsby Telegraph following his departure from Blundell Park, Wood explained his footballing philosophy when he said: "I will give 100 per cent for any team I play for - that's the type of character I am. That's half the battle of becoming a decent professional, and it's something I'll always have."


CTC STOP is a clinical trial linked to our London Center of Excellence, funded in partnership with Movember, which is dedicated to finding the best treatments for each individual man.
The trial team are testing whether clues in men's blood called 'CTCs' can help clinicians tell whether chemotherapy is working sooner than current tests, so that men can be moved onto more effective treatments sooner.
The trial could result in taking us another step closer to personalizing men's treatment, to make sure they have the maximum benefit to men possible.
The trial enabled my medical team to make a decision about my treatment. If I hadn't been taking part in CTC STOP, I may have continued to be treated with Docetaxel when another drug would have been more helpful.
- Nick, a participant on CTC STOP.
Each man is completely unique, and so is his cancer. That means a treatment which works well for one man may not have the same effect on another. We want to make treatments more precise, so that they're as effective for each man as possible. Our London Centre of Excellence, funded in partnership with Movember, is dedicated to this mission, and includes the CTC STOP trial.
CTC STOP is based on previous research that shows that when men's treatment is working, the number of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in their blood goes down. Professor Johann de Bono and his team at the Institute of Cancer Research want to make the most of this, and test whether they can use CTCs to monitor men's response to chemotherapy for their advanced prostate cancer. They hope CTCs will be a quicker way to tell whether treatment has stopped working, than standard tests like CT scans. This should help to maximize the benefits of treatments, while reducing time spent on drugs that are no longer working.
The trial plans to recruit around 200 men, all of which are on chemotherapy to treat their advanced prostate cancer. For half of these men, the team will take blood tests to monitor their CTC's, and will use this information to make decisions about their treatment. The other half of the men will have their treatment monitored by tests that are standard at the moment. By the end of the study, the team will compare how well the two groups of men have been fairing on their treatment, to work out whether CTCs can be used to improve outcomes and treatment for advanced prostate cancer.
So far, the team have started to recruit men to the trial. Some of these men have already benefited from the research in the trial, like Nick, whose treatment plan was altered based off his CTC results. But before the team can confidently work out if CTCs should replace current ways to monitor treatment, they'll need to continue recruiting men and collecting data.
You may be eligible to take part in this study if you have metastatic, hormone therapy-resistant prostate cancer, which has only spread to the bone.
Current symptomatic cord compression requiring surgery or radiation therapy. (Once the patient is successfully treated the patient will be considered eligible for the study).
Please note, We try to keep this information as up to date as possible, but there may be times when study details have changed and we haven't updated our web information. Speak to your medical team, or our Specialist Nurses, for the most up to date information on prostate cancer clinical studies.


Free online jigsaw puzzle for adults and kids of a gorgeous sunset over the sea. Boulders line the shore.
What a beautiful sunset this the second one I have seen, our family went down south to a place called woolacombe and we took a great picture of thee sunset had it made into a picture for my mother, every one thought it great, when my mum passed away the photo and the frame we never saw again. maybe my mum be took it with her, one never knows, well they do say strange things happen, whom ever has I hope they enjoye it.
Do you think she may have given it to someone before she passed? Maybe to someone who had admired it?
Nature is so beautiful! What a gift.
Very gorgeous Sunset over the sea. Thank you team.
Just when I think nothing is left to wow me I see a picture like this and know there is so much more to see. I'd love to live near enough to a rocky beach to be able to paint some seascapes. I have only done two beach pictures. One was commisioned and I had to imagine it. The other was at a beach in California that had a huge cliff with an arch cut through it. It's nowhere near as pretty as this.
Would love to just sit and look at this. It's beautiful!
Outstanding color in this one. Beautiful and peaceful.

Most Aucklanders ditching their cars for public transport are about to be hit in the pocket, but Mayor Phil Goff says fares have to go up because operating costs go up.
Yesterday, Auckland Transport announced a fare hike to its bus, train and ferry services in the city. Come 10 February, cash and AT Hop fares will increase by up to 50 cents.
With no further funding available, Auckland Transport said increasing fares was the only way to meet the costs of the region's expanding public transport network.
Mr Goff said government policy required Auckland Transport to recover half its operating costs from fares.
"It would be really good if Auckland Transport were able to hold fares rather than adjust them to meet costs ... that would encourage more people to use public transport which in turn takes the pressure off road congestion."
He said fares had to go up because "operating costs go up".
"If there would have been a huge fare increase, you would have seen a very clear public reaction and a resistance to it.
"There's been a huge expansion. We're looking at investing $28 billion into our transport networks in the next 10 years."
There are three sources where funding comes from - the commuter, the ratepayer and the taxpayer.
"What AT is required to do by NZ Transport Agency is to recover 50 percent of its operating costs from fares and that's resulted [on an] average a 1.9 percent increase over the year."
AT has been dramatically increasing bus and rail services, he said.
I oppose the public transport fare increase. This will not encourage more people to use PT which is our ultimate goal.
In 2018 I offered to work with AT/Govt to change the law that requires AT to recover 50% of costs from fares.
The big 2016 fare decrease is now being reversed.
Funding for a trial of the Auckland-to-Hamilton passenger rail service has been given a green light.

Is Lead level related to crime?
Did the rise and fall of the use of products containing lead help cause the rise and fall of violent crime? No one is sure, but one doctor says lead exposure to children can cause changes to their brains.
Several studies have been published showing that increases and decreases in crime in several cities came roughly 20 years after the liberal use of products such as lead-based paint and leaded gasoline. The studies show that many cities have seen a decrease in overall violent crime in recent years, as the use of lead-based material has been phased out since the late 1970's.
While those studies don't claim that lead exposure caused some people to become more violent, emergency room Dr. Ryan Venis at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis says exposure does affect the brain. "Specifically, what's been looked at is impulse control," said Venis. "There's been some thought that lead acts on the part of the brain that may control our impulses to do certain things. So, if a person who is not lead-exposed has an impulse to pocket a candy bar in the store, then that part of the brain lets them know not to do that."
While exposure to lead is never safe at any level, Venis says changes to the brain typically only happen to those who are exposed as children, especially between the ages of one and five. He says this has also been demonstrated in intelligence tests. "If you look at groups of children, say one subset of a population that lives in a housing development that has lead paint, compared to their non-lead exposed peers, their IQ may be a few points lower."
Leaded gasoline has been phased out in the U-S since 1973 and was banned outright by the Clean Air Act of 1996. The use of lead-based paint was made illegal in 1978. But Venis says that while it is less common, lead exposure can still happen. "Because of the combustion of leaded gas and other parts of the world where lead has not been outlawed, there is still lead in the environment," Venis said, adding that some lead could be found in the soil in the U-S for many years to come.

On April 28,, 2012, approximately 7 miles of the Santa Cruz city and county coast became the official 4th World Surfing Reserve on the planet.
Our Santa Cruz Chapter advocated for this honor for two years, so we're stoked to see it happen. Chapter leaders Dustin Macdonald and Jim Littlefield are members of the Local Stewardship Council for the SCWSR, a group charged with watching over it for anything which might damage it.
BELOW: FIND INFO ON THE DEDICATION EVENTS AND PROCESS OF WORKING TOWARDS THIS IMPORTANT GOAL.
What do you picture when someone mentions the words, "Santa Cruz"? Do you recall kelp-dicing rollercoasters determining the champion of the O'Neill Coldwater Classic? Do you conjure three and a half decades of dizzying aerial conquests, from the Kevin Reed days to Ratboy Mania and beyond?
Or do you gaze out upon the blue-green horizon, past a thick marine layer, toward the upcoming ASP World Tour event this November? Whatever your image du jour, Santa Cruzis synonymous with three things that are certainly in that image somewhere: cold, clean water, diverse wavescapes and revolutionary surfing.
Therefore, all the media reverence and big-money contests in the world still aren't enough to properly spotlight this very special corner of America.
The town was celebrated last Friday and Saturday in a series of events, the first being an "Evolution of the Wetsuit" fashion show on Friday night at the Cocoanut Grove along the Santa Cruz Wharf. Using local surf celebrities as models, the show traced the evolution and development of the modern surfing wetsuit, from the crude wetsuit precursor of the 1950s (a high-waistline, Speedo-type, belted wool swimsuit) to O'Neill's current high-tech design.
The following morning, Ohlone Native American Indian Elder and Shaman Patrick Orozco led a spiritual blessing ceremony on the beach at Pleasure Point, followed by a moving song by local musician/surfer Ashley Lloyd. Then surfers paddled out into the kelp-thick waters to unite in a circle and pay tribute toSanta Cruz's natural and cultural surfing heritage. Local icon Jack O'Neill even came out onto the balcony of his house there and saluted the surfers, which drew a ruckus from the surfers in the water. After that, an official dedication ceremony commenced at Steamer Lane in front of the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, complete with inspirational speeches from a variety of spokesmen, including local surfing legends, environmental warriors and esteemed public officials.
The community gathered at the Lighthouse lawn at Steamer Lane for the official dedication ceremony on Saturday afternoon, absorbing powerful words from local leaders on the importance of protecting Santa Cruz's waves and coastline; after which, the members of the Local Stewardship Council signed a plan for the ongoing management and stewardship of the Santa Cruz World Surfing Reserve. This plan outlines how the group would respond to threats that may arise, what type of stewardship activities the group will carry out, and how the group will reach out to the general public to provide education about Santa Cruz's incredible surfing resources and how to protect them.
An important requirement of every WSR is the establishment of a Local Stewardship Council to watch over the reserve and guard against any potential damage.
World Surfing Reserves aims to proactively designate and preserve outstanding waves, surf zones and their surrounding environments, around the world. The program will serve as a global model for preserving wave breaks and their surrounding areas by recognizing the positive environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits of waves.
Save The Waves Coalition, along with key partners National Surfing Reserves (NSR) Australia and the International Surfing Association (ISA), launched World Surfing Reserves in 2009, and is implementing the global program's first enshrinements in 2010. The initiative will create a "UNESCO of surfing" to educate the world on the tremendous universal value of these special places, and provide tools to help local communities better protect cherished surf breaks.
WHY IS SANTA CRUZ A WORLD SURFING RESERVE?
Surfing, the ocean, beaches and waves characterize Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County in the memory and imagination of people around the world. And why not? The world-class surf breaks constitute a cold-water dream for surfers; the beaches invite relaxation; and the ocean and waves beckon us to recreate. So, when someone mentions "Santa Cruz", surfing automatically springs to mind. That's why when locals speak of "Surf City Santa Cruz" we really believe it!
Our coast's many breaks host numerous surf contests year 'round at all levels of proficiency, pro to beginner, school leagues to club contests; we have many outstanding and well-known competitive surfers raised and based in our communities; and we find a strong and active surf culture exists in Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County, making our communities home to numerous surf shops, board makers, surf gear manufacturers, and surf-related businesses.
The Santa Cruz World Surfing Reserve is located on the northern side of Monterey Bay along California's Central Coast within the protected coastal waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The Reserve stretches approximately 7 miles from Natural Bridges State Park in the City of Santa Cruz on the west end eastward along the city and county coast to the Opal Cliffs in Santa Cruz County. At least 23 consistent surf breaks are sited along this coast, including the world-class breaks of Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point. Most are reef breaks or beach breaks with a few outstanding point breaks, and almost all naturally break right within this zone. Winter is always the best time for surfing consistent waves.
The breaks are rated from "expert" to "beginner" and are used by surfers throughout the year, so surfers of all ages and levels can find a suitable wave in the area. Surfing contests from pros to clubs to schools are frequent and popular. Beach and surf access is generally good along this coast, and most of the beach areas in the SCWSR are overseen either by California State Parks; the City of Santa Cruz; or Santa Cruz County.

When: December 22, 1 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: The former Humanitarian Bowl was renamed in 2011 to better reflect society's general apathy toward humanitarian efforts and love of tubers. San Diego State won its only appearance in this game in 2013, a 49-24 win over Buffalo.
When: December 29, 2:30 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: The Arizona Bowl is entering its third season and is a bowl game. The U-T's Kirk D. Kenney threw out the possibility of the Arizona Bowl pulling a Pac-12 team into the game, so let's run with it. Why not?
When: December 24, 5:30 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: Hawai'i Bowl has existed since 2002, and the Aztecs were 42-7 victors over Cincinnati in their lone appearance in 2015. UCF is almost certainly not playing in this game, and South Florida seems destined to stay in Tampa for their game. Memphis would be fantastic if SDSU ends up here.
When: December 16, 1:30 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: Since 2006, the New Mexico Bowl has existed in the world of bowl games in which bowl eligible teams participate. San Diego State has never played in this game, a streak we're desperately hoping will continue this year (Editor's note: uh oh). Rocky Long won the game as New Mexico's head coach in 2007.
When: December 26, 6 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: This bowl affiliation is provisional, and is based on whether a "more desirable", bowl-eligible option out of the aforementioned Power 5 conferences can fill the spot. It seems likely both will able to, so we're probably wasting our time here. However, if so … this game would have SDSU vs. a Power 5 school in a destination San Diegans would be more likely to travel to with the relatively short notice provided by bowl season.
When: December 20, 5 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: This is the inaugural Frisco Bowl, so the only history there … is the history to be made. *punches self* Originally dreamed up as a bowl game pitting the AAC vs. Sun Belt, MAC and Sun Belt opponents over the next three seasons, it's currently an AAC vs. At-Large game. With UCF likely going to the New Year's Six and South Florida staying in Tampa to play in the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl (this is a real bowl game), Memphis is (again) the most desirable opponent for San Diego State out of the AAC. This game would continue the tradition of taking a San Diego football team and having them play in an MLS stadium.
Where: Levi's Stadium – Santa Clara, Calif.
When: December 27, 5:30 p.m.
Background/Thoughts: The Foster Farms Bowl used to be known as the Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl, Emerald Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl when it took place at Pac Bell Park/SBC Park/AT&T Park. Now, it's sponsored by a chicken company and takes place at Levi's Stadium – inexplicable home to way too many large events for the billion-dollar shithole that it is.
Anyway, like the Cactus Bowl, this is a provisional game. That said, the Big Ten isn't going to have enough bowl-eligible teams to cover their tie-in games, allowing a team like San Diego State to jump in the mix. Washington State seems to be the consensus pick from the Pac-12, and their opponent is a projected grab bag. NBC has San Diego State going here, and that would be tremendous.
Pac-12 opponent, easy travel and a prime time game on a major network? This is the game we want. Give us this game.
They're not going to give us this game, are they?


I was on Romper Room around 1970 in Harrisburg, PA on WHTM TV 27. I have a few photos from that time. I had Miss Marcia (Marcia Kaplan who is also deceased probably within the last 5 years or so) and I have some fun recollections of being on the show for a week.
I've attached these photos if you would like to share.
I'm immediately to Miss Marcia's right.
I'm sitting directly below Miss Marcia (in red, white, blue outfit) as she talks with my great grandmother.

Discussion, Construction and Evolution: Mill, Buchanan and Hayek on the Constitutional Order

There is little doubt that J. S. Mill was one of the greatest classical liberals of the nineteenth century. F. A. Hayek holds the same distinction for the twentieth century. It is, then, something of a puzzle that Hayek is so critical of Mill. In his conversation with James Buchanan, Hayek remarked that the "delusion" that democratic politics is sufficient to limit government authority began with the British utilitarians, including J. S. Mill. Mill's was a "false liberalism" that "always" tended towards "socialism or collectivism": "design theories necessarily lead to the conclusion that social processes can be made to serve human ends only if they are subjected to the control of individual human reason, and thus lead directly to socialism."
It is testimony to the power of Hayek's thought, and his command over the texts, that not only could he make a case, so implausible on its face, but his reading Mill out of the classical liberal tradition proved definitive in some circles. We should not forget that Hayek was also the editor of the celebrated "John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor: Their Correspondence and Subsequent Marriage."
This paper attempts to explain, first, the puzzle of why Hayek was so disenchanted with the economic liberalism of Mill. We link Hayek's criticism of Mill with Buchanan's criticism of Hayek, arguing that both disagreements turn on the role for discussion within the economic and political sphere. We identify the source of Buchanan's unhappiness with Hayek. Buchanan rightly supposed, we show, that Hayek's institutional Darwinism left little room for discussion within the liberal order. The question as Hayek posed it is whether there is role for discussion in "choice of law" the way there is role for discussion in the "choice of legislation." For Mill and Buchanan, the answer is yes; but for Hayek, the answer is no.

Famous York church closed after tree collapses
The collapsed tree. Photograph: Holy Trinity Church on Twitter
9 Sep 2019 @ 12.01 pm
One of York's most beautiful medieval churches is closed today after a tree fell over in its churchyard.
The tree collapsed overnight next to the Holy Trinity Church on Goodramgate.
Fortunately it caused no damage to the church or adjacent buildings.
Workers have already been along to the church and removed most of the tree, but the church said it was due to be closed all day while the operation continued.
Holy Trinity said the tree had polypore in its trunk – a form of fungi which consumes the wood.
According to the the church on twitter, that meant it was due to be felled soon anyway. They added:
The advice we got suggested pollarding and reducing over the next few months, but it seems the tree had other ideas!
By late morning the tree had almost gone. Photographs: Richard McDougall
One of York's gems – Holy Trinity, Goodramgate
Run by the Churches Conservation Trust, Holy Trinity dates from the 15th century. It is the only church in the city with box pews.
It is also the church where Victorian businesswoman and diarist Anne Lister 'married' her partner Ann Walker – possibly the first such same-sex union in a church.
A rainbow plaque to mark that milestone was unveiled by York Civic Trust earlier this year.
It also featured in the filming of a BBC TV drama about the life of Anne Lister, Gentleman Jack, which aired over summer.

Pat McAfee Arts and entertainment Sports Television programs College football Football College sports NFL football Professional football Entertainment Sports media Talk shows Sports TV
Former Colts punter Pat McAfee adds talk show to portfolio
By JOE REEDY - Sep. 09, 2019 05:40 PM EDT
FILE - In this April 26, 2019, file photo, Former Indianapolis Colts player Pat McAfee announces the Colts' third round pick at the NFL football draft, in Nashville, Tenn. The former Indianapolis Colts punter had his talk show debut Monday morning, Sept. 9, 2019, on DAZN in the U.S. and Canada as well as Westwood One radio in 40 cities. This is in addition to calling Thursday night college football. (AP Photo/Gregory Payan, File)
It may be hard to avoid Pat McAfee. The former Indianapolis Colts punter is one of the hottest media commodities.
McAfee's talk show debuted Monday morning on DAZN (DA'-zone) in the U.S. and Canada as well as Westwood One radio in 40 cities. He also calls Thursday night college football games on ESPN and makes weekly in-season appearances on "Get Up!"
As part of the deal with DAZN and Westwood One, McAfee's podcast will expand from two to three times per week. He also will continue to do commentary for World Wrestling Entertainment.
It is a pretty impressive portfolio for someone who describes himself as "an anonymous guy who kicked the ball on fourth down."
"I'm definitely going to be busy, but I am going to enjoy it," McAfee said before Monday's show. "There is a lot of coordination and planning involved, but it is a dream come true for me and my friends."
It also marks DAZN's first talk show as executive vice president Jamie Horowitz expands the network's portfolio beyond boxing and MMA. The show will air weekdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. EDT.
"This is a great moment for DAZN because we are adding more than a talent. We are adding someone who is a brand," Horowitz said. "We are effectively partnering with the small business that is Pat McAfee."
McAfee has been on a steady rise since he retired from the NFL after the 2016 season. He worked for Barstool Sports for close to two years before leaving over a disagreement about profit sharing.
McAfee said DAZN allows him to expand beyond football. He will contribute to DAZN's nightly MLB "ChangeUp" show while being part of the boxing and MMA coverage.
McAfee's show will be based out of Indianapolis most of the week. He will broadcast from the site of his ESPN game on Thursday and in New York on mornings when he appears on "Get Up!"
"I'm going to try to keep the show upbeat and provide a bit of a mental vacation for those who tune in," McAfee said. "I'm going to enjoy it."
Monday's show featured analysis of Sunday's NFL games as well as an interview with WWE executive vice president Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

If there's one thing that all electronic music fans can agree on, it's that Gesaffelstein is one of the most important musicians of our generation. Before transcending the warehouse with one of the most meticulously calculated (and fleetingly existent) live performances of the year and further moving on to scoring abstract thrillers, it's hard to imagine the fact that Mike Lévy's music was fundamentally fringe not less than five years ago.
The highest carat cut amidst a mine of darkened diamonds, however, is his magnum opus, "Viol." Every bit as aggressive as its title's unsavory translation suggests, "Viol" redefined the international perception of French techno, punctuating simple rhythms with harrowing, dissonant interludes in lieu of energizing breaks and builds. By establishing a signature sound without deviating throughout, "Viol" struck listeners with awe the world over, and made an undying impact on the techno world and beyond. The eternal egotist Kanye West even gave unfettered autonomy to Lévy to compose two of his Yeezus tracks — "Black Skinhead" and "Send It Up" — because of his awe at the technical fortitude that "Viol" represented.
Could it be one of the greatest electronic compositions of all time? Only time will tell.


I'd had an old wooden side table kicking around the house since we'd moved in almost 6 years ago.
It continues to grow with us and has been shuffled from room to room as it is quite functional.
I used the paint chip artwork I diy'ed and a couple decorative vases I already had on hand. Thoughts?

The Mate Market
Every online dating candidate is visible, in unsparing detail, to every other. The chances of finding the right person now look very high, and the risks of making a mistake vanishingly low. Where once we might have met some hundreds of potential partners during our life, now we can meet millions. Satisfaction guaranteed?
Technology attracts polarised reactions. At one end, techno-optimists will welcome anything that enables new actions or creates new choices. The process by which technologies are developed and disseminated is a path, perhaps the path, by which humankind improves its lot. This view is mostly expressed pragmatically and materialistically: technology is about doing and making things better. (Behind this, though, is an act of faith that doing and making things better is how our species and societies progress.) At the other end, Luddites and conservatives often mistrust or reject technology on principle. They regret the loss of the old ways and they don't want to make choices or adapt.
Whilst many Luddites are just ignorant and dogmatic, we can't deny that technology changes us too, and should pause to think and decide about the spiritual and social consequences of technical progress. It's a challenge the technology cheerleaders, who want us to embrace our new personalities as we might embrace a new gadget, simply don't understand.
Recently, then, I caught up with a fascinating radio essay by Robert Schurz, a writer, sociologist and practising psychotherapist based in Germany. The subject was online dating. Surveys suggest that in the 20-50 years age bracket, one third of all contacts leading to a relationship are first made online. Many people now spend more time in intimate conversation online than face to face. We are reaching, he concludes, a turning-point in the history of morals: it might be described sociologically as the dissolution of family; psychologically, as an incapacity for long-term relationships; it might also be the final triumph of individualism.
Humans have always had trouble meeting members of the opposite sex. In primitive societies, if incest was prohibited, one needed to go beyond the family unit. Hordes of youths might storm the next village in search of females, hacking the other males to death, or being themselves hacked to death. Online dating, on the other hand, requires no external social event, has few geographical or time constraints, and with sophisticated search offering fast and refined identification of suitable parties, is an incredibly efficient way of getting in touch with people. Our transition from one state to the other is the social history of family and pairing.
A metaphysical notion of the soul-mate is found in Plato's myth of the perfect, spherical single-sexed double being, which for presuming against the gods was divided into two parts that then wished only to be reunited with their 'other half'; a union of physical intertwining consummated in a languorous dual death. To relieve them from this fate, Zeus moved the sexual parts from the rear, where they had been in the back-to-back spherical form, to the front, so making heterosexual satisfaction and reproduction possible.
In practice, family standing, wealth, or political circumstances often determined partner choice, which was then concluded by contract. Many early societies permitted polygamy, a simple way of fixing mistakes without awkward separations.
The question of the 'right' partner reappeared in early Christian societies. By the fourth century the Church had started to undermine the power of the family and patriarchs by grounding marriage on the love and consent of the couple. But this is not a free choice, since each party is destined to love the person whom God has picked out for this purpose. Since love reflects the divine order, which in the early middle ages also governed the material world, there could be no contradiction between the two.
Bourgeois society undercut the Christian model in two key ways: first, with the idea of the equality of all people and secondly, through secularisation. Marriage from disinterested love requires people to be in principle equal. This increases the number of potential partners vastly, whilst secularisation denies divine predestination and paves the way for civil marriage. The bourgeois acknowledges both instant romantic attachment and complex worldly calculation as permissible foundations of a relationship – the interplay of the two is a constant theme in the literature of the 18th and 19th centuries.
But love at first sight, unguided by providence, can lead to error and tragedy. Love may not spring eternal. This tension between inclination and reason is resolved by the institution of divorce – "till law us do part" – though it took until the twentieth century for the taboo on divorce finally to go. Relationships are now a matter of trial and error. If they don't work, we can have another go. We see ourselves differently too: singletons on a journey of repeated searching, finding, and leaving.
So what is new about the internet?
Not so long ago we met people in social environments – the pub, club, office, or disco. Locality remained important, as it had been earlier when families would gather at specific seasons and places so that potential partners could be introduced. Just twenty years ago, the only parallel with the internet today was the lonely hearts column in the newspaper. It was widely disseminated, easily accessible, context-free, and, critically, stated a party's desire for a relationship. The only constraints were limited data and slow search.
The computer age has changed all that. Every candidate is visible, in unsparing detail, to every other. If this is the main criterion, the chances of finding the right person now look immeasurably higher, and the risks of making a mistake vanishingly low. Where once we might have met some hundreds of potential partners during our life, now we can meet millions.
In dating as in countless other areas, the internet has enabled the systematic exercise of rationally determined choice from a vast population of alternatives. The right partner is the one who possesses the optimal combination of physical and psychological characteristics. Our other half will perfectly fit into the jigsaw of our life.
To describe our ideal partner, we first need to know ourselves – wants, preferences, experiences, characters. So on the one hand, the search becomes more difficult as our requirements become more individualised, but on the other, we can now satisfy some very peculiar requests ("Cannibal seeks partner for lunch," perhaps).
An odd thing about search is that we must first know what we're looking for. Defining a search means defining what we want and ultimately ourselves. But what if we can't do that, if we don't know what we want? As Picasso famously said, "I don't seek; I find." Conscious search narrows the perspective, excludes possibilities. If I prefer blondes, I may miss out on a wonderful brunette.
So why are we driven to specify what we want? Well, studies of consumer behaviour show that given only a few alternatives we find it easier to choose and tend to be happier with the choice. It takes a lot of mental effort to choose between many similar items. When the outcome is important, we add to that the fear of 'acting sub-optimally', of getting it wrong.
This stress fuels the ever-increasing size and complexity of dating databases and search systems: the promise is to eliminate the risk of error. In practice, though, the opposite happens. Relationships formed online do not on average last long. "Marry in haste, repent at leisure" no longer applies, since behind every choice lie millions of viable alternatives. If it doesn't work out, I refine my search, buff up my profile, and try again.
Partnerships themselves have changed too. When we are always 'available' it is hard to see where loyalty – perhaps a social response to limited choices – fits in. Where there is always a better alternative, there's little incentive to stay together. Societies that value stability encourage family loyalty. Is online dating, forming and churning relationships, making our societies more volatile? Many factors contribute to rising divorce rates, but we shouldn't dismiss the tendency to frame relationships as consumer goods.
Not only do we behave like consumers in seeking a partner, but we present ourselves as goods too. "I'm back on the market, checking my market value, making myself look good." Whilst this is by no means new ("left on the shelf"), it is now all-pervasive. Moreover, in a market, choices and selection criteria have to be accepted without question. Their social or political content, as for example discussed in Peyvand Khorsandi's recent oD article, are simply irrelevant.
Consumer choice leads to consumer disappointment. Nobody lives up to the advertising. In specifying the man or woman of our dreams, what kind of image do we call up? The more we expect, the deeper our disappointment. And as we define our desired partner in ever greater detail, the less we worry about accommodating our own behaviour to someone else's wishes. Virtues such as loyalty, faithfulness, and adaptation, which arose as social forms to meet particular social needs, are still valued today, but it's hard to base a critique of modernity on social virtues that are contingent or relative. More concretely, however, psychotherapists report significant recent rises in the incidence of depression, anxiety, and stress associated with finding a partner. These problems are almost certainly connected with the new ways this is happening and are unlikely to go away by themselves.
The computer age has accelerated the commoditisation of our lives. Everything is measured, calculated, and sorted. The online search for a partner is wholly rational and systematic, notwithstanding it still promises to deliver the love of one's life – a claim it can never live up to. In the end, this is the paradox of online dating: the continually refined search and self-presentation leave the ideal soul-mate as unattainable as ever. Plus ça change, perhaps, or have we changed more than we think?

C05 - Company Limited By Guarantee
Memorandum of understanding - JV(project) Coy & Coy Tas.
Tasmania only. This Deed or Memorandum of Understanding is between a company and another company who have decided to co-operate in a new joint venture operation which is project-based, meaning there are no revenues and no attempt to make sales or profit, simply to incur expenses from which both parties seek to benefit. This deed is like a partnership agreement between two companies but one that does not seek to create a new entity. A new management board is established, rules for running the operation agreed, and certain risks identified and dealt with. It adopts a modern document style (28 pp.); it uses ASIC's help to define likely and expected 'books of account and accounting records'. Since both companies might not benefit equally from thir participation in the project, the project costs may not be equal in percentage terms, but the project management is equal for important reasons. This deed agrees on eight principles of co-operation and makes the initial decisions that gets the joint venture under way. It describes individual and joint responsibilities of each of the parties to the agreement. It describes the appointment of an auditor, due diligence requirements, the need to make good, and certification of the final result.

The newest installment in my old school Vans obsession rests squarely on the 18 year old stylings of the Half Cabs. These Vans were the fifth element of my youth for a few years, the quintessential shoe for my day to day dealings in skating, BMXing and everything else important to a young teen. I haven't worn these since the mid 90s, but they're starting to make more sense these days.
