J.J. Liddy and his best friend, Jimmy Dowling, often had arguments. J.J. never took them seriously. He even considered them a sign of the strength of the friendship, because they always made up again straightaway, unlike some of the girls in school, who got into major possessive battles with one another. But on that day in early September, during the first week that they were back in school, they had an argument like none before.
J.J. couldn't even remember now what it had been about. But at the end of it, at the point where they usually came round to forgiving each other and patching it up, Jimmy had dropped a bombshell.
"I should have had more sense than to hang around with you anyway, after what my granny told me about the Liddys."
His words were followed by a dreadful silence, full of J.J.'s bewilderment and Jimmy's embarrassment. He knew he had gone too far.
"What about the Liddys?" said J.J.
"Nothing." Jimmy turned to go back into school.
J.J. stood in front of him. "Go on. What did she tell you?"
Jimmy might have been able to wriggle his way out of it and pretend it was a bluff, but he had been overheard. He and J.J. were no longer alone. Two other lads, Aidan Currie and Mike Ford, had overheard and had come to join in.
"Go on, Jimmy," said Aidan. "You may as well tell him."
"Yeah," said Mike. "If he doesn't know he must be the only person in the county who doesn't."
The bell rang for the end of the morning break. They all ignored it.
"Know what?" said J.J. He felt cold, terrified, not of something that might happen but of something that he might find inside himself; in his blood.
"It was a long time ago," said Jimmy, still trying to retract.
"One of the Liddys . . ." Jimmy said something else but he mumbled it beneath his breath and J.J. couldn't hear. It sounded like "burgled the beast."
The teacher on yard duty was calling them in. Jimmy began to walk toward the school. The others fell in.
"He did what?" said J.J.
"Forget it," said Jimmy.
It was Aidan Currie who said it, loud enough for J.J. or anyone else to hear. "Sure, everyone knows about it. Your great-granddad. J.J. Liddy, same as yourself. He murdered the priest."
J.J. stopped in his tracks. "No way!"
"He did, so," said Mike. "And all for the sake of an old wooden flute."
"You're a shower of liars!" said J.J.
The boys, except for Jimmy, laughed.
"Always mad for the music, the same Liddys," said Mike.
He began to hop and skip toward the school in a goofy parody of Irish dancing. Aidan trotted beside him, singing an out-of-tune version of "The Irish Washerwoman." Jimmy glanced back at J.J. and, his head down, followed them as they went back in.
J.J. stood alone in the yard. It couldn't be true. But he knew, now that he thought about it, that there had always been something behind the way some of the local people regarded him and his family. A lot of people in the community came to the céilís and the set-dancing classes that were held at his house on Saturdays. They had always come, and their parents and grandparents had come before them. In recent years the numbers had increased dramatically with the influx of new people into the area. Some of them came from thirty miles away and more. But there was, and always had been, a large number of local people who would have nothing to do with the Liddys or their music. They didn't exactly cross the street to avoid J.J. and his family, but they didn't talk to them either. J.J., if he'd thought about it at all, had assumed it was because his parents were one of the only couples in the district who weren't married, but what if that wasn't the reason? What if it had really happened? Could J.J. be descended from a murderer?

Cosmos » Archaeology » Neanderthals used fire to fashion tools
5 February 2018 /
Andrew Masterson
Neanderthals used fire to fashion tools
Earliest evidence yet for hominin pyrotechnology.
Neanderthals living in the Tuscany region of Italy used fire in addition to stone to make tools, archaeologists have revealed.
In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Biancamaria Aranguren from the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo in Florence, Italy, describes artefacts discovered during the construction of some thermal pools at a location known as Poggetti Vecchi.
The paper recounts the discovery of fragmented wooden and stone tools, together with the fossilised bones of the straight-tusked elephant (Paleoloxodon antiquus). The finds were located in the lowermost of seven archaeological soil layers, and radiometrically dated to about 171,000 years old.
The wooden tools were all made from a species of tree called boxwood (Buxus sempervirens), recognised as a heavy and dense wood. Formed into blunt points at one end with bulbous handles at the other, the metre-long implements were possibly made as digging implements, although the researchers don't rule out a secondary use as weapons.
Similar multi-purpose artefacts, the researchers note, are found even today among many hunter-gather societies.
The points and shafts show grooves and cut marks indicating that stone tools were used to chisel and scrape them into shape. But what interested Aranguren and her colleagues was evidence of surface charring.
Microanalysis suggested that fire had been deliberately and carefully applied in the manufacturing process, perhaps to reduce the physical effort needed to scrape and shape the wood.
The discovery of the sticks is regarded as significant for two reasons. The first is that wood, while thought to have been very widely used throughout prehistory, is rarely found in archaeological contexts because of its natural tendency to rot away.
The second is that it constitutes the oldest proof yet that Neanderthals learned to control fire.
"Poggetti Vecchi offers the earliest evidence of pyrotechnology in the fabrication of wooden tools, providing us with significant insight into the behaviour and abilities of early Neanderthals toward human modernity," the archaeologists conclude.

This boutique style Kensington hotel encompasses the charm of it's neighborhood yet puts you close enough to the London's busy pulse. You are in easy walking distance to Earl's Court underground and steps away from the bustling main thoroughfare filled with great restaurants and pub life.
Hotel Indigo London Earls Court is managed by the IHG (Intercontinental hotel group) so for those of you that enjoy being in their Priority Club will be able to take advantage of staying in a boutique style hotel with the perks of a top notch international hotel chain.
Location is superb. Nestled into the Barkstons Garden neighborhood, you will find yourself on a quiet residential street but steps away from the hustle and bustle of local eateries nearby.
Complimentary Wifi and mini bar treats are a plus!
Rooms are on the smaller side but are smartly appointed with everything you need, including some added luxuries such as USB ports, heated bathroom mirrors and cozy robes.
Boutique hotel, so no meeting space but you can enjoy bigger hotel amenities such as a fitness facility and short late night room service menu.
You are not right in city center so if you are here and want access to the Tower Bridge, Westminster and other such sites, you will be a 15-20 tube ride away. So if tourist activities are why you are visiting, you might consider a couple nights closer to city center for those days.
Staff were very genuine and helpful in suggesting good local eats as well as assisting with transportation needs.
AMBIANCE & AMENITIES +++ The ambiance of this hotel is a modernized version of the hotel that once stood there. They have done a great job in preserving things that should be remembered but updating the space to make it appeal to the more trendy traveler. Because of this I recommend this hotel for almost anyone coming to London. There is a little something for everyone here, from the business traveler to those traveling with friends or family. However it might be a tight squeeze for any wheelchair access needed. Everything about this hotel is on the smaller side.
FOOD & BEVERAGE +++ There is a restaurant on site available for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drinks. Same modern design, good cocktails and good food. there are also plenty of other eateries from fast food, pubs to sit down restaurants that are just steps away.
ROOMS +++ Rooms are well appointed with large, comfortably firm beds. The bed is the highest bed I've seen at a hotel, which was different. Felt more like a bedroom in someone's home more than a hotel room. Each room is creatively designed and the artwork and furniture were fun. Up-to-date room amenities such as ipod chargers, tv and big clean bathrooms including a spa shower. Housekeeping was always on time and my mini fridge was always stocked with chilled beverages and treats.

Crime News: Rosales guilty of murdering Burney man
Jim Schultz
A six-man, six-woman Shasta County jury convicted Friday a Tehama County man of first-degree murder in the 2014 death of a 61-year-old Burney man.
Fernando Sanchez Rosales, 22, also convicted of first-degree residential burglary, murdered Artis McHugh Jr., whose bludgeoned body was found Oct. 21, 2014, in the garage at his Mountain Home Road home.
It's believed McHugh was dead for about 11 days before his body was discovered by a sheriff's deputy called to the home on a welfare check.
The jury, which began its deliberations Thursday afternoon, reached its verdict around 10:15 a.m.
Rosales, who showed no reaction to the guilty verdicts, is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
He is facing a 25-year-to-life prison term.
With that trial now behind him, Rosales also has two other separate felony cases charging him with battery upon correctional officers at the Shasta County Jail, where he's being held without bail.
But, attorneys said, a resolution in those two cases may be reached at the time of next month's sentencing.
Deputy District Attorney Emily Mees, who prosecuted Rosales, said she was happy with the jury's verdicts, saying she had no doubt Rosales murdered McHugh.
'The evidence in the case was solid,' she said, although agreeing that most of the evidence was circumstantial.
The conviction will be appealed, defense attorney Stacey Madsen said, although politely declining further comment.
During closing arguments Thursday, Deputy Public Defender Margaret 'Peggy' Huscher told jurors the prosecution's case was one of speculation, conjecture and guesswork with little factual evidence.
'We (the defense) don't deal in theories; we deal in facts,' she said, adding that the prosecution's case is riddled with holes. 'There are so many unanswered questions.'
Huscher, who along with colleague Madsen represents Rosales, questioned the credibility of a number of prosecution witnesses, saying they lied to implicate her client in McHugh's death to cover up their own possible involvement.
'This case is built on lies,' she said.
But Mees, as well as the jury, disagreed that Rosales was innocent of murder.
During her final closing argument Thursday, Mees said Rosales clearly had the 'motive, means and opportunity' to kill McHugh and that he did so.
And, she said, there was absolutely no evidence that someone else may have killed McHugh, describing Husher's own theories as 'red herrings' and unreasonable.
Rosales, a Gerber resident, lived for about a month in a travel trailer on the Burney man's property as he tended a medical marijuana garden for him, authorities have said.
Rosales, who was described as being angry for not being paid for his work, got into a physical dispute earlier that month with McHugh, returning to the Burney man's property a few days later to apparently steal his marijuana plants and killing him.
The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy reported McHugh had an injury to the top of his head, a broken wrist that may have been a defensive injury and 10 broken ribs.
Additionally, McHugh had hemorrhaging between his ribs on his back that the pathologist believed was possibly caused by stomping.

A Dez Bryant-Cowboys reunion? Jerry Jones has 'been thinking about it a lot'
The former Cowboys' wide receiver wants to return to the team.

INDIANAPOLIS — Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Thursday afternoon he thinks about the possibility of Dez Bryant returning to the Cowboys and Jason Witten finishing his career with the organization.
"I have not talked to Dez directly," Jones said from the scouting combine during a nearly 90 minute state of the team address. "I've been thinking about it a lot in the shower. I have been."
Bryant, the Cowboys' 2010 first-round pick, hasn't played in two seasons. He turned down a contract offer from the Baltimore Ravens after the Cowboys cut him following the 2017 season. He signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2018 but suffered a torn Achilles tendon in one of his first practices with the team. Bryant didn't play last season, rehabbing from his injury, but he's posted videos of several private workouts on social media.
Bryant has worked out with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at a Fort Worth facility and the wide receiver has caught some passes at a Frisco facility next to The Star.
A source said the Cowboys might send Will McClay, the Cowboys vice president of player personnel, to give Bryant a look.
"I'm not dismissing it," Jones said. "I don't want to sound like it should be dismissed by saying that. I'm thinking about it."
Witten returned to the Cowboys in 2019 after spending a year away working for ESPN. Witten caught 63 passes for 529 yards with four touchdowns. It was Witten's lowest yardage output since his rookie year of 2003.
The key for a Witten return is if coach Mike McCarthy believes he can find a role for him. It would appear Witten would have to take a lesser role with the team given the youth at the position.
Jones, however, believes Witten can help the Cowboys.
"I feel strongly he wants to play and I think he can play," Jones said. "I would hope that he would not ever be anything but a Cowboy. It's meaningful. He's in the tops right there."
Bryant played eight seasons for the Cowboys compiling 531 catches for 7,459 yards. Bryant's 73 receiving touchdowns are the most in franchise history. Witten is second with 72.
Bryant responded when seeing Jones' comments on social media about a possible reunion.
"Let's get it," Bryant said on Twitter.

The history of Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, began long ago, back in the 7th century, when the two settlements of Kaptol and Gradec merged into one city. Most of the medieval constructions in Zagreb have been preserved intact. The north-eastern part of Zagreb, the Upper Town, still displays old buildings and cultural monuments, while the Lower Town has been rebuilt into modern districts. The special charm of the city is given by the countless cozy cafes, restaurants and flower-decked terraces scattered throughout the city's promenade.
Zagreb Airport is 17 kilometers from the city.
Zagreb is located at the center of an intricate transport network. There are large modern highways going from the city center, connecting Croatia to both the Eastern and the Western part of Europe. Railways also connect Zagreb to the major cities of Croatia and of the neighboring countries. In the center of the city, there are many bus and train stations. The best way to enjoy the beautiful Capital City of Croatia is to book a transfer that can take you straight from the Airport to any destination inside the city and its surroundings.
Public transport in Zagreb offers trams, buses and a funicular line in Tomichevoy street in the historic center of the city, connecting the Upper and Lower Town. A plan for the construction of the first line of subway is scheduled to open in 2012. However, in the busy hours, the traffic is very jammed and the only comfortable way of navigating around the city is by booking a Zagreb airport transfer.
Another alternative, for those of you who wish to enjoy the freedom of driving their own car, is to rent one from Croatia car hire.
The climate is continental, with average summer temperatures around +20 ° C and average winter temperatures decreasing to +1 ° C. As a rule, it is very hot in Zagreb in May, especially towards the end of the month, when the temperature exceeds +30 ° C. It usually snows in winter and autumns are very rainy.
There is much to do and see in the Croatian capital, with its numerous parks, museums, galleries, cathedrals and monasteries. Merely walking down the old streets of the town offers a history lesson in itself. The symbol of the city is the Cathedral of St. Stephen, next to which there is a memorial pillar with a gilded figure of the Virgin Mary. From the 13th century, high members of the church and of the Croatian nobility have been buried here. Next to the cathedral, there is a baroque Palace of the Archbishop, rebuilt over the ages 13 to 19. The local Franciscan monastery with the church of St. Francis has been around since the days of Francis of Assisi himself.
In the Center of Hradec, there is the Gothic church of St. Mark, located near the Croatian National Assembly building and the Presidential Palace Banský yard. If you are a lover of culture, in this part of the city you can visit the Croatian History Museum, the Gallery of primitive art, Natural History Museum and the City Museum.
The Lower City is built in accordance with the urban development plans of 1865 and 1889 's. Its quarters, squares, parks and mansions were built especially in the eclectic style, neo-classical and Art Nouveau style. The Archaeological Museum, the Strossmayer Gallery, the Academy of Arts and Sciences can all be found here. In the area, there is also an equestrian monument to the first Croatian king, King Tomislav. The Croatian National Theatre is a neo-Baroque building. The area in front of the theater displays "Fountain of Life" by Ivan Mestrovic. Near the National Theater, you can also visit the Ethnographic Museum, which houses paintings by many famous artists.
The largest garden and park ensemble of Croatia stretches In the eastern part of Zagreb. "Maksimir" is a park built in the English style, built between the 18th and 19th century. In 1925, the zoo was opened here. Another sample of landscape architecture in the English style is the cemetery "Mirogoj" (1876), which is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe. The cemetery is unique because of its arcades built along the west wall, and is the place where many famous residents of Zagreb found their peace.
One of the most notable museums in Zagreb is the Ethnographic Museum. Its collection of over 3,700 works covers the entire Croatian history, from antiquity to the present day. The art gallery presents significant interest, displaying works of old masters and a large collection of European painting from the centuries 14 to 19. Palace Klovicha (Klovićevi dvori) is a gallery in the east of the Upper City. It contains a collection of many Croatian artists such as Oscar Herman or Vinca Perchicha. The other museums and galleries are the Museum of Modern Art, the Archaeological Museum, the Technical Museum, the Historical Museum, Natural Science Museum, Museum of the City of Zagreb.


There are many different approaches to conflict management, each of which may have utility in particular circumstances. A great deal of scholarship has been devoted to analysing how and in what situations different approaches can be applied most effectively.
Conflict management approaches can be classified into two broad categories. Firstly, on the basis of the level of escalation which the particular conflict is being managed. In this sense, one can distinguish between the peaceful and the 'military' approaches. The trademarks of the peaceful approach are negotiation, verbal persuasion, use of inducements, denial of privileges, and subtle manipulation short of the use of physical forces, while those of the military approach relate to the use of physical coercion. The use of physical force could be by a party to a conflict or third party, to promote one side's interest, impose a settlement, or create a situation in which diplomatic negotiations can occur.

My favorite animals are dogs and cows. I love dogs because they really do care about their owners feelings, like they can feel when their owner is sad. I also like cows, because they are just like big dogs.
My favorite NBA player is LeBron James. I have always loved watching him play basketball on TV. I love the way he plays, his offense is better than his defense in MY opinion.
I always love hanging out with my friends, if I am in a bad mood they know how to lift me out of it. They always know how to put a smile on my face.
I love riding four wheeler's. I don't have one of my own yet, but I will eventually get one. I have friends that I hang out with that let me ride theirs. But the rule from my dad is, if I get on a four wheeler I have to have a helmet on.
I have 8 cows. There are 6 Holsteins, and one red Angus, and one black Angus. The 4 that we had since they were baby babies, that we had to bottle feed, are BIG babies. They will follow anybody around.

[P]articipation in aerobic exercise is most prevalent along the West Coast, in the Rocky Mountain states and the northeast, and far less so in the middle and southern portions of the country.
Colorado tops the list among states, with 61.8 percent of adults meeting the standard for aerobic exercise; Oregon is second (61.1 percent), followed by Vermont (59.2 percent), Hawaii (58.5 percent) and California (58.2 percent). On the flip side, the lowest levels of participation in aerobic exercise are found in southern states – Tennessee (39 percent), Mississippi (40 percent), Louisiana (42 percent), Alabama (42.4 percent) and West Virginia (43 percent).
The trends are similar for muscle-strengthening exercise. Florida goes on to report on the various correlates of exercise -- wealth, affluence, etc. Interestingly, fitness participation also closely tracks political and religious divides -- people in red states exercise less, as do people in more religious states.
Our recent podcast about commitment devices, called "Save Me From Myself," continues to elicit responses from readers sharing their own experience. The other day, Amber told us about joining the Air Force as a commitment device.
I listened with interest to your podcast about commitment devices and I thought I would share my own which I devised as a way to curb my unnecessary clothes shopping. I found that I was buying simply more clothing that I needed and although this wasn't causing me any major problems, I realized that it was really wasteful and I decided to think of incentives to make me stop.
We've written about bribing kids to get better grades. But what about bribing them to walk or ride their bike to school?
A new working paper examines a program in Boulder, Colorado that attempted to incentivize kids to bike or walk to school over a span of several years. The program began with a $10 cash prize for the first two years, but then switched over to a $10 bike store coupon thereafter. One lucky student who rode and walked to school every day during a "prize period" won the coupon.
Last month, we wrote about data pulled from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), examining how Americans spend their lost work hours during the recession. While 32% of foregone work hours were spent watching TV and sleeping (not great, though sleeping is helpful), 15% of that time went to "other leisure," among which, there is "listening to music" and "being on the computer," as well as "exercise and recreation."
Two new studies (both coauthored by Dhaval M. Dave of Bentley University) drill further into that ATUS data to paint a more complete picture of our exercise and physical activity habits, and ultimately, what impact they have on our health. The first finds that during the recession, we engage in more voluntary exercise, but have less exertion. Part of this has to do with the difference between exercise and physical activity -- the latter is seen as the healthier of the two. (Better to walk to work everyday than do sit-ups twice a week.) With the loss of work, comes a loss of physical activity -- particularly with the types of jobs we've lost.
Another thing to add to the list of things to be paranoid about: your paycheck might kill you. Notre Dame economist William Evans, along with Timothy Moore from the University of Maryland, analyzed more than 75 million deaths in the U.S., and found something interesting.
On the first day of each month, the death rate goes up.
I recently joined a gym in a low-income part of Baltimore. For $10 a month, a person has unlimited access to the equipment -- including treadmills that have individual televisions with about 20 different channels. For $19.99 a month, they have unlimited access as well as unlimited guest privileges. I've only been to the gym twice since I signed up, but both times (in the evening), the gym has been almost to capacity. However, despite the fact that it is almost impossible to find an open treadmill, many patrons don't seem to be there to workout -- most of them are obese, and the majority of the treadmills seem to run on the minimum speed settings -- .5 mph -- not fast enough for anyone to even break a sweat. I was pondering this yesterday during my jog, and it occurred to me that it is entirely possible that many of these people are using a gym membership (and the subsequent treadmill-television access) as a substitute for cable.
Ian Ayres has long advocated the use of commitment contracts in achieving dieting and weight loss goals. Alan M Garber and Jeremy D Goldhaber-Fieber write about their research on commitment contracts and exercise.
A lot of people who join gyms or health clubs find it very easy to stop going. Gym-Pact, a new program in Boston, aims to change that. "Gym-Pact offers what [co-founder Yifan] Zhang calls motivational fees: customers agree to pay more if they miss their scheduled workouts, literally buying into a financial penalty if they don't stick to their fitness plans," explains Susan Johnston of The Boston Globe.

Home Centers & Initiatives Gayle Discusses Non-Profit Leadership
Gayle Discusses Non-Profit Leadership

Last week Helene Gayle, President and CEO of CARE USA spoke to a gathering of Goizueta graduate and undergraduate students about the challenges and opportunities associated with leading a multinational non-profit.
Speaking with Associate Professor of Finance Jeff Rosensweig, Gayle discussed ongoing challenges and goals for CARE, which range from education initiatives, to health, to gender equality around the world.
CARE USA is a leading international humanitarian organization with approximately 10,000 employees. Its poverty-fighting programs reached 82 million people last year in 87 countries.
Since joining CARE in 2006, Gayle has led efforts to reinforce CARE's commitment to empowering girls and women to bring lasting change to poor communities. Under her leadership, CARE has strengthened its focus on long-term impact, increased policy and advocacy efforts and deepened connections between poverty and the environment.
Gayle spoke at Goizueta as part of the Dean's Leadership Series.
She said leading a non-profit organization carries some of the same characteristics of leading a successful for-profit firms, adding the need for fundraising adds a premium to the ability to build consensus among stakeholders supporters.
"The notion of partnership is so critical," she said.
Gayle went on to say a combination of healthcare and economic development is needed to make strides in developing countries.

The Intestacy Rules are the set of rules which are followed if a person does not make a will. If you die without making a will, you are said to die intestate. Changes to these rules came into force on the 1st October 2014 by way of the newly enacted Inheritance and Trustees Powers Act 2014.
All the changes that were initially proposed have not been implemented and it therefore highlights the importance of making a will. Although there have been some beneficial changes, there are still many inadequacies in the rules. It is impossible to draw up a set of rules to work for every modern family, therefore a professionally drafted will is still your best option.
Married couples and civil partners who die without having children will now receive the entire estate of the deceased spouse or civil partner. Before the changes they would receive the first £450,000 from the estate and the rest would be split between the deceased's blood relatives, usually parents or siblings.
Married couples and civil partners who die leaving children will now receive the first £250,000 of the estate and the personal chattels, together with half of the remainder. The children will receive half of any amount over £250,000, once they reach the age of 18. Before the changes the surviving spouse would receive the first £250,000 and then half of the remainder under a life interest, the children having the other half. The life interest element has now been abolished.
It is important to note at this stage that there are still no rights for unmarried couples under the Intestacy Rules. It is a common misconception that there are rights for a 'common law husband or wife'. It is therefore extremely important that unmarried couples consider making a will, to ensure that their loved ones are provided for.
If you die without a spouse, civil partner or children your estate will still be passed along your blood line as before; parents, siblings, aunts and uncles.
There are changes for unmarried fathers. The current rule, for a child whose parents are unmarried at the time of the child's birth, is that if that child dies intestate the estate is distributed as if the child's father and his family dies before the child. Therefore, all the estate would go to the mother. This rule no longer applies as long as the child's father's name appears on the birth certificate.
The definition of personal chattels has changed, although it is important to note that this still does not include any assets held for the purposes of a business and some moveable items considered as an investment.
Claims on Estates – the new law now recognises that a claim may be made by a person who was treated as a child of the deceased. This could therefore include a situation where the deceased was the unmarried partner of the parent of the child.
If you would like any further information, then please telephone us to arrange an appointment with a Solicitor from our experienced team.
If you have children you should include a guardianship provision in your will. This will ensure that you choose who would look after your children if you die while they are under 18.
If you have pets, you can decide what should happen to them.
If you marry, any current will is revoked. It is important that you make a new will, following your marriage or in expectation of your marriage.
If you have divorced, you should update your will to reflect your new circumstances.
If you are unmarried, then as stated above, the law does not recognise the relationship. Making a will ensures that your wishes are followed.
You can detail your specific funeral plans in your will.

Q: Creating user in Jenkins via API I was wondering if I can create a new user in Jenkins using its API. I can create jobs but the API docs for Jenkins don't have anything related to user creation.
Actually, I have to create a new user followed by creating a new job for that user, all of this using an API.

A: This is how to create user after installation:
echo 'jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.securityRealm.createAccount("user", "password")' | java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -auth admin:c3a5dcd6bc3f45ee8d6c9f0f5abc14c0 -s http://localhost:8080/ groovy =

Where c3a5dcd6bc3f45ee8d6c9f0f5abc14c0 is automatically generated password present in log or in file (for ubuntu): /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

A: echo and pipe didn't work on my Windows, so I ended up using a script file instead. It's also easier to add more logic in the script file. The script below will check existing user before adding a new user, and then set the user's email after account creation and give READ access using Matrix-based security.  You can run it by saving the script into a file, say user-creation.groovy, and then run the following,
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost/ groovy user-creation.groovy testUser testPassword testEmail@testEmail.com

import hudson.model.*
import hudson.security.*
import hudson.tasks.Mailer

def userId = args[0]
def password = args[1]
def email = args[2]
def instance = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance
def existingUser = instance.securityRealm.allUsers.find {it.id == userId}

if (existingUser == null) {
    def user = instance.securityRealm.createAccount(userId, password)
    user.addProperty(new Mailer.UserProperty(email));

    def strategy = (GlobalMatrixAuthorizationStrategy) instance.getAuthorizationStrategy()
    strategy.add(Hudson.READ, userId)
    instance.setAuthorizationStrategy(strategy)
    instance.save()
}

A: I managed to get the following python snippet to create a user with ssh-key:
import json
import requests

def main():
    data = {
        'credentials': {
            'scope': "GLOBAL",
            'username': "jenkins",
            'privateKeySource': {
                'privateKey': "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nX\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
                'stapler-class': "com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey$DirectEntryPrivateKeySource"
            },
            'stapler-class': "com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey"
        }
    }

    payload = {
        'json': json.dumps(data),
        'Submit': "OK",
    }
    r = requests.post("http://%s:%d/credential-store/domain/_/createCredentials" % (HOSTNAME, 8080), data=payload)
    if r.status_code != requests.codes.ok:
        print r.text

It is sort of like a REST interface except that one has to know the internals of the code and the names of the classes that the objects are supposed to decode to.
I'm trying to configure jenkins from an ansible script (running externally to the jenkins server); since the java cli doesn't support creating the credentials the python snippet seems the way to go.

A: You're right, there is no explicit CLI command for adding a user. But you could use groovy script for this (using the CLI for execution).
The details depend on how your Jenkins is configured.
For example, if your Jenkins uses its own user database, then you could add a new user by the following CLI call:
echo 'jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.securityRealm.createAccount("user1", "password123")' |
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost/ groovy =

This shell command will create a new user with login "user1" and password "password123".
Here echo feeds a line of groovy code to a Jenkins CLI (note that = means that CLI should receive code from STDIN).
Also groovy script allows to manage user permissions, however, the exact code depends on what authorization strategy is used. You could use this sample script as a start.

A: Building on @vitaleek's answer the following will grab the default admin credentials from the file and create a new user:
pass=`sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword` && echo 'jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.securityRealm.createAccount("user1", "password123")' | sudo java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -auth admin:$pass -s http://localhost:8080/ groovy =

If you're like me and you couldn't find the jenkins-cli.jar at first, that can be pulled from your Jenkins server as follows:
curl -O http://127.0.0.1:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar

About Us > Team
We are an international group of individuals touched at a core level by a call to come together in service to the work of consciousness evolution — in ourselves, amongst each other, and in nature and culture. We are excited to be alive at this time in history, poised and called to take next steps in our human evolution. We seek to contribute whole-heartedly to a fully awake and sustainable human existence. As we deepen our understanding of the next stage in consciousness evolution, we place a primary focus on actually applying our discoveries to our lives. We are awed, fascinated and humbled by the potential breadth and depth of human life. We are aware of a real need for integral examples of life to find expression here and now on earth. In order to walk the talk, to live the vision a step at a time we commit to look into the core issues, both internal and external, that need to be addressed for personal and global transformation to come about.
Our vision for our team is that we be, above all, a living body that will grow and mature, expand and diversify, continuously re-examining, staying on the edge of the unknown, not settling, but being shaped by the 'call of the future' and by the many parts that form the whole. We seek to respond wholeheartedly, seriously and joyously to the predicament of our times. To listen to the whisperings of Spirit that invite us to full Union , to communion, where the One and the Many are present and alive.
Our basic tenets as an organization.
First and foremost we engage in what we are passionate about, both as an organization and as individuals within the organization.
We seek constant improvement and growth at the personal level as well as at the organizational level.
We foster an environment in which each individual in the organization is encouraged to discover the unique gifts they have and to offer them to the Whole.
In accurately and humbly recognizing that none of us yet understands enough to hold all the answers, we are willing to commit to a life of inquiry that can lead us to the best possible insights.
It is expected that each part within the system (i.e. each individual and each component of the framework) will reinforce the other parts in order to form an integrated Whole that is more powerful than the sum total of the various parts.
Each person within the organization has a high degree of freedom within a given framework. We need and welcome self-disciplined and self-motivated people who do not need to be managed. We will then manage the system, not the people.
Interested in finding out more or becoming part of the team? Let us know, we welcome hearing from you.
Our directors:
Stephan Martineau is the founder and President of Next Step Integral. Stephan's lifelong passion and pursuit is to bring integral visions into action, to move beyond ideas and discussions and theorizing to actually doing and being this emerging consciousness.
Stephan spent five years visiting intentional communities, spiritual communities, ashrams, and monasteries and studying the dynamics between individual and collective flourishing and evolution present in them. Following this, he founded an intentional, integrally informed community in 1992, and lived and taught there for a decade. This community was founded with the specific intent and vision of exploring and discovering what becomes possible when participants share an evolutionary contract together and are committed to coming together in service to the greater Whole. Since then he has continued to create transformative community and educational events internationally, as well as teach courses on integral community and integral parenting.
Stephan also works as an integral consultant for not-for-profit organizations, and has worked in watershed management, ecosystem-based planning and community development since 1993. He is the president and business manager of the Slocan Integral Forestry Cooperative (SIFCo), that manages a 35,000-acre community forest in the Slocan Valley, BC, where he successfully spearheaded an integral approach to a multi-stakeholder situation in one of BC's most contentious areas in regards to forestry practices in Canada.
John Gruber, M.S. holds an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies and a graduate degree in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy. As an undergraduate faculty scholar at Brown University he worked to integrate studies in biology, geology and environmental science, and received the C.F. Ma Research Fellowship for Natural Products research as a graduate student. In 2001, he was a Teacher Recognition Awardee in the United States Presidential Scholars Program. As a science teacher and long-time student of evolutionary biology and natural history he is particularly interested in ways to apply integral thinking to the secondary school classroom. Having taught a botany seminar for twelve years, John uses that particular class as a kind of experimental ground, a place to explore the application of integral approaches to teaching with a group of willing and interested students. He emphasizes field-work, experimental observation, and direct perception alongside conceptualization in his science courses, and continues to develop ways to build interior and exterior experiences into curriculum in his science teaching.
In addition to his work and research as an educator and administrator, he is involved in an active research program in insect ecology and systematic biology of moth species.
John currently serves as Chairman of the Upper School Science Department and the Director of the Summer Science Institute at Friends' Central School, an independent Quaker day school where he has taught for sixteen years.
Miriam Mason Martineau, M.A. Miriam Mason Martineau's formal training lies in the areas of psychology, dance, choreography, and voice. She has a Masters Degree in Psychology from the University of Zurich, with a specialization in Youth and Child Psychology, and is also a certified teacher of Laban Modern Dance, as well as a singer and vocal instructor. She is vice-president of Next Step Integral. For the past 15 years Miriam has studied and researched how parenting can be pursued as a spiritual practice. She sees parenting as one of our greatest opportunities for personal growth and evolutionary activism. This has led her to offering courses on the topic, working as a coach for parents, and writing a book (forthcoming) titled Raising the Future — an Integral Evolutionary Approach to Parenting.
Miriam is also a private practice integral psychotherapist, and her interest in peak performance, vitality and integral leadership building have led her to her work with Univera, a cutting-edge international nutraceutical company. She also leads workshops on authentic voice and movement, and has performed both as a soloist and in a variety of choirs such as the Swiss National Television Choir. From 1992-2002 Miriam lived in an integrally-informed intentional community and there honed the skills of group facilitation, conflict resolution and generative dialogue.
Abigail Lynam, M.S. is faculty for Lesley University's Audubon Expedition Institute and the Living Routes' Sustainability in Auroville, India semester through the University of Massachusetts. Both programs follow an educational model that blends experiential, holistic, and student-centered learning through a transformative framework of intensive learning community work. In these programs sustainability is examined and lived, (to the extent possible), through the three lenses of culture, ecology and the inner self. Self-inquiry, new cosmology and awareness practices are recognized as complimentary to cultural and deep ecological studies and practices. The India program draws on an integral model, and the Audubon Expedition Institute is exploring Integral Ecology as a framework for its graduate and undergraduate programs. Abigail is presently researching the best ways to support the development, the application, and the practice of an integral framework in both programs. Abigail is trained as a facilitator of Joanna Macy's "The Work that Reconnects" and "Dynamic Facilitation". She previously taught leadership development at Portland State University and facilitated dialogues for democracy in Portland. As a director of Next Step Integral she is developing a semester-long curriculum on Integral Leadership for adult learners. She is currently enrolled in Pacific Integral's 18-month Generating Transformative Change Leadership program.

There are usually jobs in the classified Assisting the elderly in their homes. You might want to look into that.
Thx I did it once before and it was good.
...if you've been looking for awhile...sometimes it's good to get out and volunteer somewhere...keeping busy...while looking and you just never know what will pop up...even where you are volunteering ....i've hired this way in the past...jobs opened up and a volunteer has applied...and i already had developed a relationship and had a feel for how they work...just a thought!

Lately, I have received a comment that I often write without aim and without knowing what I want to say. Protesting, let denying apart, is the last thing on my mind. I, on the contrary, want to thank Roselu, my ardent and sincere follower for reasons best known to her only, for this minute observation.Wonderful insight you have.
I wonder often, how logical or ethical it is to write without a purpose or aim and to my utter dismay, I find it quite influential in the history of literature. Absurdity, which may be a close ally of aimless writing, was the only ingredient of Alice In Wonderland, wasnt it?Or, the Italian revolutionary poem writing technique by the new renaissance poets. Cut a newspaper article, word by word, mix them, pick them on a random basis and keep them pasting on your notebook and, somehow, you have a poem ready with possible needs of grammatical rectification. As poems are often placing words in a way never before so this randomness in choosing words were not far from the much more conscious efforts of known poets like Hafez, Ghalib or Hikmet.
Poems are poems, they cant be described, like I said to Roselu a few days ago, on which of course we disagreed (for anyone will disagree with such an absurd claim) and had a good discussion. My point was poems must be felt not understood but the problem was with my overtly simplified statement. Indeed poems needs to be discussed but not in a way to impose the teacher´s interpretation of the poem on the student but gently and subtly explain the nuances which the young mind may fail to grasp at the first go. A poem is a thought or a feeling which the poet himself has explained best in the form of the poetry. How absurd can be explanation of an explanation!!
Big words bore me, tire me and most importantly beat me. So, lets go back to the usual trivial,unworthy and really forgettable writing style I originally have. After death of a great modern poet, people found a scrap of paper in his pocket and felt it was his last masterpiece. In the ceremony when people were bestowing best respect on him, they read aloud the last poem.
.............. A shrill sound from the recently widowed wife came and said, that is not poem, it was my note to him before he was going out, he was forgetful lately.
That is what I make of modern poetry and poets and, mostly the admirers.


The Association for Coaching had three different membership bases within UK, Ireland and Internationally. They wanted their website to grow their membership and reflect these regional differences containing information relevant to the specific region of Association for Coaching. Each region had to offer enhanced membership services including online membership applications and an online shop.
SomCom worked in partnership with the large committee managing the Association for Coaching to define the specification for the project and meet the different legal requirements for online purchase in each of the regions of the Association for Coaching.
Working to the branding and design specified by Association for Coaching SomCom developed a multi-region website that allows members to select their region in order to log in, view region specific events, search for members and purchase items from the online shop. We created three seperate membership databases using MySQL which link with the website and online ordering system.
