Trip Report: Coney Island
July 4 and July 6, 2003
This report actually covers two short visits to Coney Island over the holiday weekend. The first visit was Friday evening, and the second was Sunday morning.
On Independence Day, the Cincinnati Pops has a tradition of a patriotic themed concert followed by a fireworks display at Riverbend. Riverbend in Coney Island's concert shed and is one of several uses for the park, and it was actually mid-afternoon before Mom and I decided to buy tickets for the evening show.
My main reason for visiting the park was to see the concert, but being the ride person I am, I had to leave time to ride the rollercoaster, accordingly we arrived at the park around 6:15 for the 8:00 concert.
There was virtually no traffic on the way to Coney Island, and we soon entered the main paring area without paying the parking fee at the tollbooth. One of the perks of going to Riverbend is that the ticket price includes parking, or more specifically, each ticket includes a $2.00 service fee for parking. A nice touch that speeds up entry to the parking area for concerts.
One of the elements Coney Island has retained from its glory days is the Auto Gate. It is a fancy front gate similar to those seem at other amusement parks of the era. I'm not sure if the single tollbooth under the gate is original equipment but the whole front entrance looks classic.
After indicating that we were going to Riverbend, we were admitted to the parking area and we soon headed to the midway area. I didn't have a lot of time before the concert but I was still able to ride a few rides.
After a quick stop I purchased a rides wristband at a table set up in front of the old Administration building, in fact I arrived late enough to get the "Happy Hour" special which brings the cost of a wristband down to $5.95.
Wristband applied to arm, it was off to the Tempest.
Tempest – by Watkins. The Tempest was I believe the only ride Park River West took with them when they closed Americana. It's understandable that they would take it as it is a unique ride piece, one that was once a carnival staple.
A Tempest for the uninitiated is an old carnival ride. First imagine a long narrow ride platform that is banked at about 45 degrees. At the end of the platform you mount the center of the main boom, on each end of the main boom, you attach a shorter boom, at each end of the shorter booms, you attach a ride tub. Each octagonal tub seats 7 people facing inward who are secured with lap belts. The ride starts and the main boom spins, while each of the two shorter booms spins, and then each tub is mounted on a swivel, so it is free to spin as the forces of physics dictate. Properly balanced, it can be a spin ride fanatics dream.
I walked up the loading ramp and was able to snag the last seat of the tub being loaded. There was a brief pause in loading as all the seatbelts still are not equal, and I happened to get a short belt seat. It took a little "Seat Belt Roulette" as I call it, but soon the riders were reconfigured in a manner that all riders were secure. The ride starts, and the spin ride does its thing. Last fall I compared this to a modern fair ride, the Wisdom Storm. Today I realize there are some key differences as the Storm offers a much more controlled ride, in fact while the Storm may spin faster, it spins at a constant rate of speed, and in the same direction. It is geared to do that. The Tempest has the tubs mounted on swivels so the ride action is a bit less predictable, and can actually cause some more intense sudden G-Forces tossing the rider around. In short I think I could take a much longer Storm ride than a Tempest ride.
After a reasonable length ride on the Tempest, things became interesting when it was time to unload. You see they had placed all the heavy riders on one side of the tub. It wasn't that way originally but in order to get everybody properly strapped in, that's how it worked out. Therefore when the ride came to rest, it rested with the 4 heavy riders (me included) on the bottom side of the tub, with the door facing away from the loading platform. It took some fancy maneuvering, but eventually, they got the tub turned around and were able to unload us.
After the Tempest ride, I took a spin on the Scrambler, not much to report here. We then walked around by the Games in Moonlight Square, and had some ice cream while watching the little kids play town. Coney offers in addition to soft serve, some prepackaged real ice cream. The ice cream came in half pints for $2.50 each, and the super cold freezer, combined with the ultra wimpy spoon made eating the ice cream a real project.
We continues our walking tour, I looked at the Carousel and the new Frog Hopper, and then we continued on until we found a bench. Coney has long plots of midway with no benches. We finished our ice cream, then I took a ride on the Trabant, before finishing up that days ride session on the Pepsi Python, a Galaxi coaster.
By this time it was 7:20 so we proceeded to Riverbend to watch the concert. I just barely made good on the wristband, having gotten $6.50 worth of rides for $5.95.
The concert was great, and was a great patriotic tribute both to the United States, and with some songs to celebrate Ohio's bicentennial. That was up till intermission. After intermission the wind started picking up, and according to the weather folks we had tornado like conditions with 60mph winds. Loose articles went flying around the pavilion and shed, the large screens for the projection screen video boards were banging noisily against the shed roof, microphone booms were swinging violently, stage hands jumped into place to secure the flags that were on either side of the stage. In short the weather turned really lousy really quick. The concert came to an abrupt end with 2.5 selections to go.
At that time everybody was asked to move to the Lawn, and a lot of us proceeded straight to our cars, because even though the wind had died down, the rain was still quite hard. As we reached our car we heard the fireworks show go off as scheduled. Why they held a fireworks show when getting out of there and under cover was on most people's minds was beyond me. We sat and waited for the clowns to get out of the parking lot before attempting to leave.
Sunday July 6
Today, Rideman and I were winding down from a long day at PKI. Coney Island seemed like the right way to spend the morning. Accordingly we headed out to Coney and proceeded to reach the parking lot shortly after 11AM. We paid an almost reasonable $5 to park, then headed to the ride ticket office. Today we would have to pay the Ride All Day price of $8.50 each.
Wristbands on, we first headed down to the Pepsi Python, but it was not open yet. Therefore our first ride became the Flying Bobs. Coney has a peculiar way of running the Flying Bobs (and their Trabant for that matter). The park first gives an all-forwards cycle, then cycles through new riders, then gives an all-backwards cycle. In effect, you have to ride each of these rides twice to get the full ride experience. As there was hardly anybody on the Flying Bobs, we were able to take two straight rides without leaving our tubs. Flying Bobs here is the Chance version, and it seemed to be running slow as the tubs did not have to swing out like they are capable of doing. With two rides down we had already spent 6 virtual tickets, and only needed to spend 11 more virtual tickets to break even.
By this time the Pepsi Python was open, and with no wait. The park was running both trains, but with the back seat closed on each. It's an intense Galaxi, with a gut-wrench on the first drop that is as strong as most full size coasters. Watch that very hard abrupt stop at the end of the ride. We exited the Python, 4 more virtual tickets spent, only 7 more to break even.
We continued down the midway, and came to the Trabant. As I mentioned earlier, two cycles are needed for the full experience, and we were allowed to take two back-to-back cycles without having to walk around. That was 6 more virtual tickets, only 1 more to go.
We walked next door to the Super Round Up. Numerous signs at the parking toll booth, and all ride ticket booths indicated the Super Round Up was closed, and indeed it is, sitting there in pieces in fact.
We turned around and headed along the back path, behind Moonlight Pavilion to the Tilt-A-Whirl. The first half of our ride really tilted and whirled then it sort of petered out. Having ridden the Tilt we were now 2 virtual tickets ahead on our wristband, and therefore do not need to worry about keeping track of that anymore.
We walked past the parks new Frog Hopper, its one of the new fiercely yellow and lime green themed models. I noted the ride has a very big Big Boy seat, and proceeded to inquire about riding it. While there is no height limit posted, I was informed that riders had to be under 13 years of age. We skipped the Carousel, not a vintage unit but a portable carnival model.
We were about to head through the picnic grove to see the flood-o-meter when Rideman suffered a Shoe Breakdown. A trip back to the parking lot was in order, where luckily Dave did have a second pair of shoes, and we were able to continue riding. This time we started with the Tempest. We took one ride on the Tempest, with only the two of us on the ride. We arranged our seating so that we would be exactly opposite each other in the tub. Dave and I are about the same weight, so what ensued was a perfectly balanced Spin-o-Mania. We got a chuckle while waiting to board as the riders on the prior ride were so out of balance they were hardly spinning, and they were coming off saying how intense the ride was, and they needed to 'sit down'. The Tempest ride was fun and put us 5 tickets to the good.
We skipped the Scrambler, due to me needing to experience Xlerator, the forgot to go back to it. We looked at the midway games where Rideman said "I am NOT paying $250 to play a game" Puzzled, I looked at the mini high-striker game, where the sign read, "$1 Per Pound" We continued around past the rest of the games, past the "Boiled Chicken" version of the old Frog Bog game. We noted they must have an electric range as there was no faux charcoal under the turntable. We looked at the arcade, where I spotted something that looked like a pinball machine.
I approached the pinball machine, and found it was a bit lower than most, okay maybe it was intended for children. It wasn't till I looked at the playfield when I noticed something very different. Sure it had an outhole in the center, two flippers about where you would expect to find them, but the playfield was totally empty except for a layout of rollovers in an arrangement to match the animated bowling pins above. Behind the rollovers was a big chasm into which shot balls fell into. A giant gobble hole to use pinball parlance. Apparently this was a bowling game, the ball came out, you used the flippers to 'bowl' it up to the top where it runs over some rollovers, the pins score, the ball falls into the chasm at the top and that ball then ends.
Since it was only a quarter to play, I decided to play, then Rideman joined in. We pushed the credit button twice, chose "Regulation" off the game selector, then the game started. It must be noted the instruction cards were missing, so after trying to find a plunger or ball launch button, it took a while to realize that I have a choice. On either side of the playfield is a ramp themed to a ball-return. By pressing a flipper button, the kickout saucer on that side of the field will serve a ball to the flipper, which I can then flip up towards the pins. It's a cool concept I just don't know why the game has 12 balls sitting in it. Our first game we both did 'Pathetic', by the end of the second game I had discovered the 'sweet spot' exactly which ball release to use, and when to flip to get a strike every time. I ended the game with 5 strikes in a row. Rideman played again, solo, and towards the end of the game, he had found 'the spot'. We played a few more arcade games then took a walk around.
We walked down by the Picnic Grove. Not much action today, and we were able to see the big Flood-O-Meter, which is also a giant flagpole. 80' of water covered this park in 1937. It's not till you stand next to the flood-meter that you realize how tall that was.
We continued our scenic walk around, and eventually came back to the Dodgems. We took two rides on the Dodgems, putting us each 11 tickets to the good. The Coney Dodgems actually run quite nice, and hit with a reasonable amount of force. They were even more fun when we learned that most of Coney's guests can't control their cars. It was easy pickings. What fun.
We skipped the Giant Slide (just a carnival model) and took a ride on the Python. The rollercoaster is always a nice way to end the session. 15 tickets to the good, or $7.50 to the good, or we each got $15.00 of rides for $8.50 My two day total was $21.00 of rides for $14.45.
Before leaving we took a trip through the gift shop. The shops gift selection is now quite limited, but it now serves at the parks museum. It was a very interesting exhibit. After looking in the combination Gift Shop/Museum/Ride Ticket Office/ Guest Relations area, we walked through a live entertainment area with some pretty bad talent, took a look at the Ferris Wheel, and then decided it was getting way too hot to enjoy, and headed out.

Comments: This beautiful fish is one of the smallest aquarium fish available, it is really tiny. Adults barely get to one inch in total legth. Kept in a group of 6 or more the Pygmy Rasbora will form a nice school, and be much more active and happy. This fish is easy to feed and keep, but spawning such a tiny fish is very difficult, the fry will require the tiniest of live foods. Pygmies prefer acidic water in the 5 to 6.5 pH range and little or no hardness.
This is an excellent fish for the nano planted tank.

Mr Lee, former KTM worker responsible for maintaining the tracks visiting the tracks for the last time.
While preparing the last part of the 5-part series on "The Last Train" (Part 4 is here), I discovered Mr Lee, the grandfather of a friend, an elderly man all of 85 years. He is partially deaf, and has fading vision. and is so frail he cannot move on his own properly without his walking stick. He is by all accounts, typical of the aged in Singapore, a man who due to his age, keeps repeatedly his life story to all who are within earshot, to whoever cared to listen… Read more

Reminiscing – The Last Train Part 4
A KTM Train comes to a stop at Tanjong Pagar KTM Railway station. Today the station is closed and the tracks are forever silenced.
This is part 4 of a 5 part series on "The Last Train". Part 3 can be found here.
In a typical HDB lift, one is often faced with awkward silence when a stranger, or an unfamilar neighbor strolls into the lift, and the lift door closes, condemning 2 persons within the artificial confines of a limited space. Sometimes we attempt to make small weather talk type of conversations; at times we manage a quick smile and return to a forlorn look at the lift floor counter. Read more

Last Man Standing – Part 3 of "The Last Train"

The quaint Bukit Timah KTM Railway Station
This post is a follow-up from Part 2 of "The Last Train" series, a planned 5 part series focusing on the closure of the KTM railway in Singapore.
Of all the things I've seen while documenting the closure of the KTM railway in Singapore, my favorite has always been the quaint little-known Bukit Timah station. Indeed, prior to embarking on this project, I, like many Singaporeans were not even aware of this station sitting quietly among the suburbs, nested in the heart of prime Bukit Timah land – one of the reasons why our government wants the land back, I'm sure. Don't be surprised to see condominiums and shopping malls springing up left, right and centre, even if this station is to be preserved, from what I've read… Read more

A KTM train rolls out of Tanjong Pagar KTM Railway Station
Last week, on the 1st July 2011, the tracks of the KTM railway in Singapore running through Tanjong Pagar, Bukit Timah, Chua Chu Kang and Woodlands became silent as the train service ceased. Trains coming in from Malaysia henceforth would now stop at the new Woodlands stations. The fate of the historic Truss bridges, the old station at Bukit Timah and the level crossing at Chua Chu Kang remains unclear. (If history is anything to go by, they will be demolished to make way for new buildings) Read more

The recount of the popular vote for the selection of presidential electors in Florida is going on and on and on as this is being written in Lafayette, Indiana, on Friday, November 10. No end appears to be in sight. As noted in the lead commentary in the current issue of Christ or Chaos, leftists use any and all means available to them to browbeat others into complete and total submission. Vice President Al Gore and his minions are using all manner of ever-shifting arguments to justify their effort to win the presidency by brute intimidation.
The allegations of voting irregularities in Florida are nothing new in the history of American electoral politics. The lowering of the voting age to eighteen has resulted in lots more stupid people going to the polls, joining those already in line. Addle-brained people find it difficult to follow directions in all walks of their daily lives. Many people on the roadways these days cannot follow simple directional signs, especially at toll booths for bridges or tunnels or toll roads. Others find a menu in a restaurant impossible to decipher. Lots of people live in states of continuous bewilderment.
That is partly the result of a lack of intellectual ability, and it is partly the result of the dumbing down of the American populace in our schools and in our popular culture — the cultural degradation owing much to so many Americans' habit of letting their lives revolve around the television, which has become the new tabernacle of our secular era. And a good many such people want others to indemnify them whenever they make mistakes in their lives, an attitude that many of my college students exhibited rather predictably in the past decade or so. It was my fault, you see, that they did not read the clear directions I placed on the top of each examination. I was wrong for holding all students to one standard of competence.
The claim (not yet established as an actual fact) that some voters in Palm Beach County in Florida were "confused" by a ballot devised by a local Democratic Party election official is yet another example of people seeking to establish a right to "correct" whatever mistakes they make in life. It is frequently the case that we have to live with our mistakes. Indeed, we are supposed to learn from them — learn how not to repeat them over and over again. That is part of what we mean when we talk about the learning process.
But voter mistakes are quite a different thing from allegations of actual fraud and/or voter intimidation. Recall what happened in 1960, when it was fairly evident that Richard Nixon's election to the presidency was stolen from him by Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., working hand in glove with Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and Senate majority leader Lyndon Baines Johnson to manufacture the votes necessary to make Kennedy's eldest surviving son president of the United States (and Johnson vice president). By contrast, the current situation in Florida hinges on a narrow margin between the two major-party presidential candidates produced, in part, by what appears to be simple voter carelessness. Not even Gore campaign chairman William Daley, son of the late Chicago mayor (and brother of Richard M. Daley, the current Chicago mayor), has alleged that George W. Bush's campaign stole any votes.
Once again, the hypocrisy of the Left is on full display for all to witness. Loretta Sanchez defeated then-Representative Robert K. Dornan in 1996 largely as a result of voter fraud. Resident aliens who were not citizens of the United States were permitted to register as voters and vote for Sanchez. Republicans in Congress, eager to be rid of Dornan, did not investigate the situation vigorously, and U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno said that she knew of no specific laws forbidding resident aliens from voting. Similarly, Woody Jenkins lost to Mary Landrieux in Louisiana's U.S. Senate race that same year. Charges of wholesale election fraud were dismissed by Senate Republicans, most of whom did not want to be seen as "bashing" another woman just five years after they'd placed Anita Hill under justifiably intense scrutiny during the Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings on Clarence Thomas.
Actual election fraud has been a common phenomenon in the history of this nation. The stuffing of ballot boxes was common in the nineteenth century when paper ballots were used. Voters were intimidated by means of physical threats. People voted two or three times. Ballots cast for some candidates were thrown out or burned. Dead people voted, a phenomenon still to be found in certain precincts in the country. Most of the popular vote totals of the nineteenth century are merely advisory. They do not truly reflect the actual votes cast by voters.
The tradition of election fraud has continued into this century. It was somewhat attenuated by the traditional voting machine, which is much more difficult (although not entirely impossible) to tamper with than the paper ballot of yesteryear or the computer punch card now being used by a number of states. But even the old voting machine can be "adjusted" in such a way as to make it difficult for voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.
To wit, on the day of my primary election against Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato to be the U.S. senatorial nominee of the Right to Life Party, in 1998, I received reports from all over the state of New York indicating that people who wanted to vote for me had difficulty doing so. Eleven or so people told me that the lever they needed to pull down to vote for me did not work. One man, a lawyer from the Borough of the Bronx, said that an election judge refused even to hear the complaint he brought about the situation. Several long-time enrollees in the Right to Life Party were told at their polling places that there was no record of their voter registration.
It was clear that something was happening. Lacking the resources, however, to mount any legal challenge to the results, I just went about my business, accepting the fact that it was entirely possible that the Republican machine in New York found the threat of my candidacy to be so real that it had to place obstacles in the path of voters who desired to support me in the Right to Life Party.
I was also an eyewitness to the counting of the votes in the presidential caucus in Dubuque County, Iowa, on February 12, 1996 (after serving as a surrogate speaker in behalf of Patrick Buchanan's candidacy). Buchanan won Dubuque County handily over Bob Dole. But the vote totals from Dubuque County were never reported to the Voter News Service by the Iowa Republican Party. The same thing happened in Woodbury County, Iowa. Knowing the extent to which careerist Republicans went to rig the process against Buchanan in 1996, I was not surprised when a similar effort was made against me two years later.
However, in light of what is happening in Florida right now, which could drag on indefinitely, perhaps I should hold a press conference and demand from Al — D'Amato, that is — a recount from the 1998 Right to Life Party primary. I could argue I lacked the resources to investigate the claims but now realize that I have the obligation to see that the vote is counted over and over and over again. If the recount showed that I had won the primary, there would have to be a new election for the seat now held by Sen. Charles Schumer. Trading on my persona as one of the better-known Mets fans in New York, I would defeat Schumer and D'Amato, taking my place in the Senate next to New York's recently elected senator, some woman named Rodham or Clinton or something like that. If the presidential election in Florida can go on and on and on, why can't I reopen my primary from two years ago? Indeed, why can't the estate of the late Richard Nixon reopen the results of the 1960 election?
Vice President Gore and his minions will do anything to hold and acquire power. As is well known, I do not carry any brief for George W. Bush. Gore is demonstrating just how important it is for us to support candidates who are capable of demonstrating the extent to which the Left believes in mobocracy, not representative democracy or the rule of law. Bush fails that test. You can't blame Buchanan for electing Gore if it turns out that the vice president prevails in the election. Most of Ralph Nader's Green Party votes would have gone to Gore if Nader hadn't run, handing him the popular vote by a comfortable margin and giving him Florida's electoral votes without question. Gore has come close to winning the presidency because he was faced with an opponent who was either unable or unwilling to make the case against him in clear, articulate, and convincing terms.
The answer is quite simple: dishonesty of any sort is prohibited by the Seventh Commandment ("Thou shalt not steal") and the Eighth Commandment ("Thou shalt not bear false witness"). A nation founded on the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ would be composed of people who understood that we can never steal that which does not belong to us, and we can never misrepresent the truth.
Yes, the only safeguard against election fraud and manipulation is a nation that lives in the shadow of the Cross. A nation immersed in the confusion that prevails all around us, you see, winds up making a religion out of electoral politics. And when politics becomes a religion, its secular foundation justifies the use of Machiavellian means to acquire and retain power. All the more reason to work for the Catholicization of our land, folks. There's no other way out of this mess.
In the meantime, however, tell Al D'Amato I want a recount!

MediaCraft Associates Crowned PR Agency Of The Year….CEO, Ehiguese, Is PR Practitioner Of The Year
martins asuquo December 23, 2019 | 32 | |
Nigeria's foremost Public Relations agency, Mediacraft Associates, has emerged winner of the Public Relations Consultancy of the Year Award, at the just concluded Lagos PR Industry Gala & Awards (LaPRIGA), held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
It was double honours for the consultancy firm at the event, as its CEO, Mr. John Ehiguese, also bagged the PR Practitioner of the Year Award.
The agency clinched the prestigious award for its 'creativity, and how it deploys global best practices and processes in rendering qualitative services to its numerous clients'.
Presenting the award, Mallam Mukhtar Sirajo, the National President and Chairman of Council, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) urged the management of Mediacraft Associates to sustain the momentum and continue to set the pace in the industry.
In his response, Mr. John Ehiguese was full of appreciation to the organizers of the award ceremony and the National Institute of Public Relations (NIPR). He also praised the entire Mediacraft team for their hardwork and consistency all through the year. He stated his belief that "the greatest honour a man can have is that which is bestowed on him by his peers and contemporaries."
The Lagos PR Industry Gala & Awards, (LaPRIGA), organized by the National Institute of Public Relations, is the high-profile red bow-tie event which has grown to become communications industry Oscars for recognizing excellence, celebrating practitioners, corporates, stakeholders and boosting professionalism and more investment in the Nigerian public relations industry. � �9�о


Heavily accented and poorly flowing rap accompanies predictable lo-fi instrumentation on this largely forgettable half-hour of music. There are no outstanding faults in play here, just ho-hum mediocrity and clichéd philosophizing on subjects as tepid as the nature of the universe, the pursuit of music as a passion and its effect on one's social life, the fact that people present a different nature and personality to others than the one they only show to themselves, and being drained and listless. There's some nice audioscaping here and there, but that's about as interesting as it gets, really.


Jonny has worked for McMillan running since 2012, sharing his own passion for the sport with new and experienced runners alike.
Jonny ran Division I Cross-Country and Track & Field at the University of Richmond (VA) under the guidance of Steve Taylor. In 2010, he helped the Spiders earn the program's first Atlantic 10 Conference title and first NCAA Championship appearance. Upon graduating in 2011, Jonny began seeking out the many different training programs and philosophies of successful coach's and elite athletes in an effort to become the best possible distance runner he could. He became intrigued by Greg McMillan's work published in Running Times Magazine and followed Greg's 10k build-up training to "The Best 10k Workout," as well as Greg's "Workouts for Your Better Half (Marathon)" to help lead him to big PR's in both events.
Shortly after these races, Jonny visited Flagstaff to get a taste of altitude training and met Greg for the first time. Six months later, Jonny joined McMillan Running to coach under Greg and share his passion for the sport with runners, new and old, all over the world to empower them to accomplish their goals and chase down their dreams. Jonny is continuing to run and is focusing on longer distances.

Let Your Patient Voice be Heard . . . .
For the past few years I've enjoyed reading about the DiabetesMine Innovation Project. The opportunity for DOC members, as patients, to discuss what we need and want with the people who are making the products we use and the policies that affect us is so important. And I have such appreciation for all of the past delegates who took the time to be involved.
This year is particularly exciting for me, because I've been asked to be part of the selection committee and to attend the summit. I can't imagine how hard a task it will be to choose 10 delegates from this year's submissions. But I'm up to for the challenge - and I want YOU to make it harder!!
There is still time to get your Patient Voices application in. You can win a scholarship to the 2014 Innovations Summit on November 21st at Stanford School of Medicine. To apply you need to review a diabetes product on video for the DiabetesMine Test Kitchen and fill out the Patient Voices application. Listen, we use our diabetes products day in and day out - so a review is no sweat, right? Right!! You have until next Friday, June 20th, to apply. So what are you waiting for?

Riders Return to Action For First Meet of Season
By wpengine | February 21, 2003
Coming off a mediocre fall season, the equestrian team will travel to Skidmore tomorrow to take part in its first meet of the semester.
The last time the Red was in Skidmore, a single point kept it from taking home a first-place finish. Skidmore took the win in the last meeting between the two squads, and the Red will have to have a "good solid showing," to come out on top in this meeting according to head coach Christopher Mitchell.
Leading the Red this weekend will be tri-captains junior Jeannette Pettit, and seniors Julie Canter and Kate Cornell. Pettit has already qualified for Regionals which is to take place at the end of March.
After a tough Fall semester, a top-10 ranking for the Spring has given the Red a boost of confidence.
"We had to cancel practice a few times because of the snow, but we are really looking to qualify at least one person [for Regionals] on Saturday," Mitchell said.
The Red has been practicing for over a month now, gearing up for the meet that will set the pace for the rest of the season.
A new attitude has been put in effect for this season's meets, and as for their competitors, Mitchell said, " We're back, don't mess with us."

S.A. Condemns University Slope Day Plans
By wpengine February 22, 2003
Before passing a resolution condemning the University's Slope Day plans, the Student Assembly (S.A.) raised questions about the impartiality of Director of Elections Leslie Barkemeyer '03 at its weekly meeting last night. Campaign "I am sorry that I have to stand before you today, but I must publicly ask that Leslie Barkemeyer please step down from her current role as Head of Elections," said Christopher Dial '04, currently campaigning for the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual Questioning (LGBTQ) liaison S.A. position. Dial's concern over Barkemeyer's impartiality stemmed from a meeting in which he claims she discouraged him from running for the LGBTQ position because of her affiliation with the Cornell Democrats. "She confessed that … she had been asked to meet with me to discourage my running," Dial said. "I do not think it is fair to anyone in this election to have Ms. Barkemeyer act as the Head of Elections because her loyalty to other student groups clearly has and does conflict with the standard she is being asked to uphold." In a brief written response, Barkemeyer denied the allegations. "I did not tell Christopher not to run. I will not resign because of this false accusation. It is troubling that even before the campaign period has begun these candidates resort to personal attacks," she stated. Slope Debate The S.A. began an extended discussion over Slope Day with a report from the Slope Day Steering Committee. The presentation focused on the history of Slope Day, committee members, proposed plans and issues of contention and collaboration. "We can all agree that the safety of the student body is the primary concern. Secondly, we want to make [Slope Day] as fun as possible. Our motto is 'Have fun; don't die'" said Zachary Conine '03, Steering Committee member. The presentation also addressed some concerns expressed by S.A. members, specifically over whether the Steering Committee should blindly accept the demands made by the administration. "The students of the Slope Day Steering Committee would love it if [the S.A.] could get the charge overturned, but we want to err on the side of prudence and have something really fun planned in case [the charge isn't] overturned," said Justin McEvily '03, Steering Committee member. "We are trying to make the best of a bad situation." "I think that acknowledgment clears up a lot of misgivings," said Stuti Mandala, S.A. vice president of finance, in regards to McEvily's position. Questions were also raised about the effectiveness of catering Slope Day in curbing potentially dangerous situations such as sharing drinks and binge drinking. "If you are hell-bent on making your last day of classes centered on drinking yourself into a stupor, there is nothing we or the administration can do about it," McEvily said. Addressing the S.A.'s concern that fencing in the slope is not really necessary, Conine said, "By installing fences, our goal is not to limit access to the Cornell community, but to limit access to those who don't have a part in Slope Day," referring to an incident last year in which a 15 year-old girl was taken to Cayuga Medical Center due to excessive alcohol consumption. "This is not an issue where we can make everybody happy," McEvily said. The S.A. discussed the issue of Slope Day further with a resolution condemning the unilateral nature of the President's Charge to the Slope Day Steering Committee. "There's a difference between this resolution and the [S.A.'s ad-hoc] Slope Day Committee. It's stating that we don't like [President Hunter R. Rawlings III's] decree, that it was a unilateral, ridiculous thing to bring to us," Barkemeyer said. "I would say the majority of people here support the resolution," said Josh Katcher '06, Class of 2006 representative. Although the resolution passed after a tie-breaking vote was cast by Executive Vice President and acting chair Sai Pidatala '04, some members of the community expressed disapproval of the S.A.'s actions regarding Slope Day. "Over the past week I've been bombarded with petitions, advertisements and quarter cards that in my opinion amount to nothing but propaganda … Antagonizing an administration that has already made its decision is not going to help anything," said Krystyn Tendy '06. James Lamb '03 agreed. "All you guys have really said is that students are fighting students about Slope Day … and I don't care, I'm a senior … James Lamb doesn't give a damn!," Lamb said.

Construction To Begin on Tatkon Center
This coming March, Cornell will begin construction on North Campus of the Carol Tatkon Center whose purpose will be facilitating first-year activities and opportunities. The center will be located in the South Wing of Balch Hall. This location's proximity to Central Campus is meant to "build a bridge, both physically and metaphorically" between the academic life of Central Campus and the residential freshman life of North Campus, according to the project's planners. The goal of the Tatkon Center is to create a comfortable environment that will help bring students and faculty together and expand opportunities for first-year students. The center will contain three classrooms to hold academic gatherings for small student groups, such as writing seminars and course sections, supplementary courses or prelim review sessions. The center will also serve as a place for students to meet with faculty mentors or their faculty advisors. "We think it will have a gallery that will feature student art. There will be a really neat caf

I Death Grips sono un gruppo musicale statunitense originario di Sacramento e attivo dal 2010. Lo stile musicale del gruppo è stato descritto come una combinazione tra hip hop, musica industriale, e noise.

Sono stati descritti come "Una delle band più importanti del ventunesimo secolo".

Storia del gruppo
Nell'aprile 2011 pubblicano il mixtape Exmilitary.
Nel febbraio 2012 la band firma per la Epic Records. Nell'aprile seguente pubblica The Money Store, esordio discografico su lunga distanza.
Dopo aver annunciato un tour, ci ripensano per completare il secondo album, che viene pubblicato già nel settembre dello stesso anno e che si intitola No Love Deep Web.
Il disco viene diffuso gratuitamente sul web dal momento che l'etichetta discografica pretendeva che l'album sarebbe dovuto uscire non prima del 2013.
Il gruppo quindi si separa dalla Epic.
Nel novembre 2013 l'album No Love Deep Web viene pubblicato su CD e vinile dalla Harvest Records.

Nel luglio 2013 annunciano la nascita di una loro etichetta, la Third Worlds, che si appoggia alla Caroline Records. Nel novembre 2013 viene pubblicato il terzo album in studio: Government Plates, anche questo diffuso gratuitamente sul web e accompagnato da ben undici video.

Il gruppo ha dichiarato la fine della loro attività il 2 luglio 2014 tramite un comunicato sulla loro pagina Facebook.

A sorpresa, i Death Grips pubblicano Jenny Death, la seconda parte di The Power That B il 31 marzo 2015, annunciando un nuovo tour nordamericano per lo stesso anno sulla loro pagina Facebook, di fatto smentendo la loro dichiarazione di essersi sciolti come gruppo. Il 17 luglio 2017 i Ministry annunciano ufficialmente un tour a fine anno con la band.

![Carcassonne: New World](/assets/carcassonne-new-world.jpeg)

[Carcassonne: New World](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F7S4UU) is a recent addition to the family of [Carcassonne](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005UNAX)
games. The mechanics are similar to other Carcassonne games, in that you have interconnecting square tiles, people-shaped pawns, and a game of strategy where tile and pawn placement is paramount. In this game, the pawns are settlers trying to expand colonies from Plymouth to Jamestown, and the tiles contain towns, farms, and roads.

![Carcassonne](/assets/carcassonne.jpeg)

Carcassonne's farms have been replaced by plains in New World, which can contain wooded areas with animals. Trappers (laying-down settler pawns, akin to farmers in Carcassonne) score points not for each tile, but for each animal icon in their domain. There are also no rivers to keep plains areas small, which makes jockeying for position harder.

There are also two special pawns called surveyors. At the end of each turn, a surveyor pawn moves, westward if possible. The net effect is that once you have two tiles in leftmost column of tiles, both surveyors will move one column to the "west". Any standing settlers east of the surveyors, like shopkeepers (akin to knights) and robbers are returned to their owners. You get a hefty bonus if you complete a road or town where a surveyor stands, and thus there is a great impetus to expand westward.

![Carcassonne: The Castle](/assets/carcassonne-castle.jpeg)

I have also played Carcassonne and [Carcassonne: The Castle](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007V1LTG), and whereas the confined space of The Castle adds space pressure to the game, the necessity of completing features before your settlers become "obsolete" in New World adds some time pressure to the game. I must admit, based on playing New World once, it's destined to become my favorite version.

Jan Gerrit Hulleman (auch: Janus Gerardus Hulleman; * 14. April 1815 in Utrecht; † 30. Mai 1862 in Leiden) war ein niederländischer Literaturwissenschaftler.

Leben
Jan Gerrit Hulleman war der Sohn von Hendrik Jan Hulleman und Johanna Geertruij Merxlo. Er hatte das Gymnasium Hieronymianum seiner Geburtsstadt besucht. Bereits als Schüler des Gymnasiums hatte er sich am 23. Juli 1832 an der Universität Utrecht immatrikuliert, am 19. September 1832 verließ er mit der Abschiedsrede de Dione Syracusano, qui post infractum a se Dionysiorum tyrannidem foeda proditione periit das Gymnasium und begann unter Philipp Wilhelm van Heusde und Antonie van Goudoever ein Studium der Literatur. Nachdem er am 29. Juni 1835 Kandidat der Literatur geworden war, verteidigte er 1836 die Abhandlung Ex antiquae poëticae principiis, atque ex ipsa civitatum anttquarum historia effatum explicetur veterum, quod apud Ciceronem est pro Cluentio, c. 52. Legum omnes servi sumus ut liberi esse possimus und promovierte am 20. Juni 1838 unter Goudoever mit der Abhandlung Diatribe in Pomponium Atticum zum Magister der Philosophie und Doktor der Literaturwissenschaften.

Drei Monate später, am 1. Oktober 1838, wurde er zum außerordentlichen Lehrer am Gymnasium Illustre in Maastricht ernannt, wo er die griechische Sprache unterrichtete. Daneben gab er auch Privatunterricht und fand die Zeit, seine Studien fortzusetzen. Diese Studien waren, angeregt von Heusde, auf die alten Geschichtsschreiber gerichtet. Vor allem auf Gerhard Johannes Vossius Geschichte der griechischen und Lateinischen Sprache, welche von Anton Westermann herausgegeben wurde, legte er besonderen Wert. Zudem widmete er sich der Bearbeitung des Geschichtsschreibers Duris von Samos, aus welcher Beschäftigung das Werk Duridis Samii quae supersunt (Utrecht 1841) entstand. 1844 gab er seine nächsten Werke Ptolomaei Eordaei, Aristobuli Cassandrensis et Charetis Mytelenaei reliquiae sowie disputatio de vita et scriptis Jubae Maurusii heraus und hatte davor eine Disputatio critica de Alexandria Delpho begonnen.

Im Juni des folgenden Jahres wurde er Konrektor des Athenaeum Illustre in Amsterdam. Hier hatte er ebenfalls noch einige Schriften und Beiträge verfasst. So für die Königlich-Niederländische Akademie der Wissenschaften, deren Mitglied er 1856 wurde, und für die Leidener Gesellschaft der Niederländischen Literatur. Seine überaus fruchtbare Tätigkeit als Autor auf dem Gebiet der klassischen Literatur bewirkte am 30. Oktober 1857 eine Berufung als Professor der spekulativen Philosophie und Literatur an die Universität Leiden, welches Amt er am 20. März 1858 Rede de literarum praesertim latinarum apud Romanus studiis, Nerva Trajano impatore antrat. In jener Eigenschaft unterrichtete er vor allem lateinische und griechische Altertümer und verstarb, nachdem noch einige kleinere Werke aus seiner Feder geflossen waren.

It depicts the ribosome, a perfectionist protein-maker, in all its majesty, and includes a textbook schematic of translation. Translation is what the ribosome does: it translates our genetic code to manufacture proteins which, as workhorses of the cell, carry out the business of life.
The enzyme machine that translates a cell's DNA code into the proteins of life is nothing if not an editorial perfectionist.
Johns Hopkins researchers, reporting this week in Nature, have discovered a new "proofreading step" during which the suite of translational tools called the ribosome recognizes errors, just after making them, and definitively responds by hitting its version of a "delete" button.
It turns out, the Johns Hopkins researchers say, that the ribosome exerts far tighter quality control than anyone ever suspected over its precious protein products which, as workhorses of the cell, carry out the very business of life.
Previously, Green says, molecular biologists thought the ribosome tightly managed its actions only prior to the actual incorporation of the next building block by being super-selective about which chemical ingredients it allows to enter the process.
Because a protein's chemical "shape" dictates its function, mistakes in translating assembly codes can be toxic to cells, resulting in the misfolding of proteins often associated with neurodegenerative conditions. Working with bacterial ribosomes, Green and her team watched them react to lab-induced chemical errors and were surprised to see that the protein-manufacturing process didn't proceed as usual, getting past the error and continuing its "walk" along the DNA's protein-encoding genetic messages.
"We thought that once the mistake was made, it would have just gone on to make the next bond and the next," Green says. "But instead, we noticed that one mistake on the ribosomal assembly line begets another, and it's this compounding of errors that leads to the partially finished protein being tossed into the cellular trash," she adds.
To their further surprise, the ribosome lets go of error-laden proteins 10,000 times faster than it would normally release error-free proteins, a rate of destruction that Green says is "shocking" and reveals just how much of a stickler the ribosome is about high-fidelity protein synthesis.
"These are not subtle numbers," she says, noting that there's a clear biological cost for this ribosomal editing and jettisoning of errors, but a necessary expense.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
In addition to Rachel Green, Hani S. Zaher, also of Johns Hopkins, was author of the paper.

This is an indigenous Amis man with his beautiful white headdress from Northern Amis in Hualian, Taiwan.
It was the tradition of Northern Amis men to wear a white headdress, 'tataku', made of feathers of Swinhoe's pheasant (Lophura swinhoii) or 'tounkaang' before the 1980s in puberty rituals. In the past decades, the indigenous people have started to use the features of the other pheasants as the number of Swinhoe's pheasant has sharply decreased.
In the culture of Amis, unlike the modern society that practices patriarchy, the Sun has a female image and is regarded as the Mother of all the human-beings, which emits white sunlight every morning. And the feathers of the pheasant on the men's headdress are just like the beams of the sunlight, showing how much the Amis men respect their Mother Sun.

Transfer news and rumors
Rumor: LAFC interested in Portuguese midfielder Andre Horta
Second Portuguese player linked to expansion team in recent weeks.

A new transfer rumor has emerged for Los Angeles Football Club, with Portuguese outfit La Bola reporting over the weekend that the expansion team is looking at midfielder Andre Horta.
The youngster, 21, currently plays for Braga in his native country, on loan from Primeira Liga power Benfica, who he joined in 2016. Prior to that he got his professional start with Vitoria Setubal, making his first-team debut in 2014. Horta is also a Portuguese youth international, having played from the U-18 to the U-21 level, and he's played at both Vitoria and Braga alongside his older brother Ricardo.
According to the report from La Bola, LAFC have offered €7 million for Horta, which would absolutely make him a Designated Player, albeit a Young DP for their team cap charge, like the already signed Diego Rossi. The report also indicates Horta is interested in the move, as he wants to actually play and he's only getting minutes sparingly at the moment.
So, is this real? Horta is the second young Portuguese player to be linked to LAFC this offseason, alongside Francisco Geraldes. It's not entirely implausible they would go this route to fill the third DP slot, but with Rossi already a youngster on a Designated Player deal, the expectation would have to be that LAFC would get a player ready to make an immediate and consistent impact with the final slot in their complement. And while I applaud the team, should they choose to go a route like this, in not simply getting the most famous player available for the DP slot, team chemistry be damned, I was expecting a player with more name recognition in getting that last slot.
Still, we'll see. This could be legit or an agent trying to drum up interest for his player in the press. At any rate, LAFC will most likely have their third Designated Player nailed down in the coming weeks, so we'll hear much more on that front moving forward.

Review Buffalo Summer – Desolation Blue (Silver Lining Music)
Buffalo Summer – Desolation Blue (Silver Lining Music)
My first encounter with Buffalo Summer was several years ago in Exeter when they were the support for one of the many incarnations of Heavens Basement. I came away from that gig thinking that Buffalo Summer were by far the better band on the night and their bluesy, ballsy rock n roll reminded me of a cross between Cry of Love and Silvertide (if you don't know those bands check them out!). Since then I have seen the band on several other occasions and always found them to be a thoroughly engaging live band. However when it comes to their studio output I have always found they have fallen short of what they can do live, but will album number Three, 'Desolation Blue', change my mind?
The short answer is sadly no, and if anything I find 'Desolation Blue' a little bit more confusing than what has come before. The confusion comes from the band seeming to not know who or what they want to be. One minute they sound very soulful and bluesy, with the excellent 'Dark Valentine' being a standout track on the album, and then the next minute during 'The Bitter End', the band throw in big leanings towards grunge with the track having a very strong Alice in Chains feel about it, and this mixing of styles is quite noticeable throughout the entire album. Understandable considering the bands musical background. It's fair to say they have the talent with Andrew having the perfect voice for this style and utterly convincing in his delivery whilst Johnny is up there with the best in this genre for riffs and solos whist the rhythm section holds everything together with class they clearly love what they do and do it with style.
It's not to say that the album is bad (it is certainly not), there are some fine moments on it like the previously mentioned 'Dark Valentine', the hard-rocking and catchy 'If the walls could Speak' and the brooding album closer 'Pilot Light', but for every impressive moment, there are a lot of moments that while pleasant, are just easily forgettable. At this moment in their career, Buffalo Summer really needed to produce an album to open themselves up to more people outside of their current fan base, but with 'Desolation Blue' I don't think they have done that, and while that won't affect their ability to carry on as they are within their comfort zone, playing great live shows and impressing their fans, they have missed a chance to really push on. They have so much to offer as a band this, however, is still above average and maybe with time will be a grower.

Innovation & Knowledge : Consumer & Shopper
Ipsos Update - April 2020
This month's research digest from Ipsos around the world looks at headlines of the coronavirus crisis, while exploring a range of different topics, including gender equality at work, digital health and the sustainability agenda.
Carin Hercock Managing Director
COVID-19 has caused our lives to operate in unfamiliar contexts and unpredictable patterns. As many brands find themselves unsure how to act, we offer some early thoughts on understanding and adapting to consumer behaviour change, delivering messages that people will engage with and continuing to innovate in challenging times via our three new papers.
For all the latest research and analysis on coronavirus as it is released, please see the COVID-19 home page on the Ipsos website.
Our latest Digital Doctor study in 21 countries presents the latest on digital and connected health. In a webinar, we discuss how aspects such as telehealth, home-testing, chatbots and data on global population health relate to today's coronavirus epidemic. From a patient perspective, we find that 42% would feel comfortable undergoing minor surgery performed by a robot.
Turning to digital solutions for market research, our new white paper A New World shows how the decision to move offline research online is not a question of "if", but when. Switching surveys to an online mode will certainly bring differences in data, but these can be managed. We look at different factors to consider for a smooth transition online.
Another paper addresses the challenges of our 'Too Much Information Age', in which researchers need to think better rather than bigger, and remember that more is not always more useful. We offer three 'smart moves' for approaching digital data, from discovery to prioritisation and triangulation, to build a fuller picture.
For International Women's Day on 8th March 2020, our study across 27 countries found that half of men now think there is gender equality in the workplace, while only three in ten women agree. There are discrepancies in the views of men and women when it comes to appropriate behaviour and career progression – as well as variations between countries.
Meanwhile, we look at race representation in our new Pillars of Popular Culture piece, asking how content creators can deliver broad appeal, present diversity, and navigate cultural sensitivity at the same time. Using the new screen adaptation of teen fiction book Noughts and Crosses as an example, we present some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.
Looking ahead to Earth Day on 22 April, our team in Singapore presents the problem of excessive plastic packaging and waste in the country – where nearly 950,000 tonnes of plastic waste was generated in 2018, but only 4% was recycled. While four in five local consumers agree this is an issue, only half would be willing to pay more. We look at what brands can do.
We also take a look at sustainable fashion, with our research suggesting that the fashion world has reached an ethical turning-point. We find more people around the world purchasing second-hand items, including in the luxury sector, and look at what this means for brands.


A quick and flavoursome mid-week vegan meal doesn't get any easier than this. High in fibre and sweet in texture, harlequin squash is a winner all round.
Scrub the outside of the squash and roughly chop into chunks.
Add the oil, rosemary, garlic and pepper to the squash and place in the oven at 170 degrees for 40 minutes.
Serve with torn spinach and grate over some fresh nutmeg.


Lighting is a vital installation in a residential or commercial landscape. It will not only improve the security and safety in the outdoor area but also highlight the beauty of the landscaped property at night. But the installation of outdoor landscape lighting must be given to professionals who are well-experienced and properly trained in the technical aspect of the task. You have to avoid doing the installation in a DIY manner to avoid electrocution and damaging other landscape features. A poorly designed landscape lighting setup will not help in enhancing the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. Your best option is to hire licensed and qualified installers like us at Phx Pavers & Landscaping.
Our company has the capability to design and install outdoor landscape lighting in residential and commercial landscapes. We have completed numerous installation projects in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Rio Verde, Mesa, and surrounding areas. Our clients from these areas praise us for our carefully designed lighting setup and use of topnotch products and materials. If you also want a well-lighted landscape, please call us at (602) 992-0468.
If you want your outdoor landscape lighting to be reliable and efficient, you should hire certified and experienced landscape lighting installers like us at Phx Pavers & Landscaping. Our installation team is composed of licensed lighting technicians, so they know the right installation methods and proper procedures to follow when installing your chosen lighting system. We also equip them with the right tools and equipment. Our company has already worked on various outdoor lighting projects in residential and commercial properties, so it's easy for us to design a lighting setup that will suit your needs and outdoor requirements.
At Phx Pavers & Landscaping, you are guaranteed of a well-thought-out lighting system. We will survey the area to determine its actual lighting needs and discuss with you the different lighting options before creating the master design plan. We will also consider other important factors when designing your outdoor landscape lighting system. Some of these factors may affect the kind of lighting that we install in your property. For example, we may install more uplights and spot lights if you have trees and other masonry structures in your landscaping. We may also install underwater lighting to make your pools, waterfalls and ponds look stunning at nighttime.
Our technicians will also apply lighting techniques to achieve a unique ambiance in your landscape. Some of the techniques that we may use include silhouetting, wall washing, grazing, and moonlighting. If you want to create a specific theme, just let us know and we will create the right lighting design plan.
Our company uses modern lighting products to give you a long-lasting and reliable outdoor landscape lighting system. We highly recommend the use of low-voltage lighting and LED lights for their outstanding benefits. They consume less energy and last longer than the traditional lighting products. New LED lighting products are available in a wide range of designs and styles, so we can easily find the perfect lighting that will showcase the beauty of your landscape. Contact us now and let us start discussing your outdoor landscape lighting project.


The Centre for Design and Society and d___LAb has teamed up with Visy, a global packaging and recycling company and volunteer customers, to work across the supply chain from harvest to retail, to map and measure food waste generated.
The use of the Dynamic Industry Resource Efficiency Calculation Tool (DIRECT) for recording and measuring the waste has been invaluable and has led to further improvements in the tool. Given the growing global concerns over food and resources security with significant population growth, Food Waste Reduction has become an important corporate target. This project focuses primarily on the quantity and reasons for food waste generated with the ultimate objective of optimizing food efficiency in the supply chain. Food waste or food not finding its way to the final consumer for consumption, also embodies significant amounts of energy, water, carbon and other resources in its journey through the supply chain. Thus, this project also provides food producers and brand owners with insightful information to identify key areas for resource-use improvement.

Powell Duffryn's growth as Britain's foremost coal company is a remarkable aspect of the nation's mining heritage. After 1935, Powell Duffryn Associated Collieries employed over 30,000 miners, operated around sixty collieries, and produced nearly forty per cent of the South Wales Coalfield's output.
Sir George Elliot founded Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Company in 1864 by raising capital to buy steam coal collieries from the sons of Thomas Powell. PD then mined coal that was the first choice in quality for fuelling steam ships. Sir George ran the company in a style that gave rise to controversy amongst the company's shareholders.
Providently, in 1883 Elliot put Edmund Mills Hann, a County Durham mining engineer, in charge of the company's collieries. Hann helped steer the company away from the edge of bankruptcy by harnessing engineering to ensure that the company's collieries in the Cynon and Rhymney Valleys became models of efficiency. Progress was impeded at times by industrial conflict and natural disasters. Nevertheless, by 1914, PD was a byword for Welsh steam coal around the globe. Then, in 1935, Edmund Lawrence Hann led the merger of PD with Welsh Associated Collieries to create the most powerful company in British coal mining.

Paul Ryan for VP — or, as Romney said in the press conference, "the next president of the United States". I did say Galt/Gekko, not Gekko/Galt.
There is, I gather, lots of horse-race speculation: It's a disaster! No, it changes the conversation away from Bain and those missing tax returns! I have no idea who's right.
What I do know is that anyone who believes in Ryan's carefully cultivated image as a brave, honest policy wonk has been snookered. Mark Thoma reviews selected pieces I've written about Ryan; he is, in fact, a big fraud, who doesn't care at all about fiscal responsibility, and whose policy proposals are sloppy as well as dishonest. Of course, this means that he'll fit in to the Romney campaign just fine.
As I said, I have no idea how this will play politically. But it does look like a move from weakness, rather than strength; Romney obviously felt he needed a VP who will get people to stop talking about him.

IT ALL BEGAN IN SCOTLAND WITH BREXIT!
MI6 battling Donald Trump over release
of classified Russia probe documents
Ben Riley-Smith, US Editor
21 November 2018 - 8:42PM
The London Daily Telegraph is now zeroing in on the source of the fake 'Anti-Trump Campaign'.
That source is MI6 - the British Crown equivalent of NSA/CIA.
MI6 used the University of Stirling in Scotland as a 'cover' for their operative Joseph Mifsud.
Joseph Mifsud has disappeared and may be dead!
President Donald Trump wants to release classified documents that will reveal this fraud, but MI6 is afraid that their own fraudulent activities will bring down more than a few operatives of 'dirty tricks', because it will also reveal the dirty secrets of the British Crown at a time when it is fighting the European Union over Brexit.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/21/exc-mi6-battling-donald-trump-release-classified-russia-probe/
THIS IS A BRITISH CAMPAIGN TO:
"Destroy Donald Trump"
Point of Confluence:
with its campus located at Stirling in Scotland.
Scotland partnered with England to create the Kingdom of Great Britain (1707),
which became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801),
and then the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1923)*,
which led to the 2018 status crisis over Northern Ireland involving:
and calls for no return to hard border in Ireland
(See the reference to former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, below concerning the 'Good Friday' Agreement, *and for a quick recital of UK Origins, see the Menu at left which traces the UK back to its bogus 'spiritual/temporal' foundation in Rome.)
THE 'WAR' AGAINST DONALD TRUMP PERSONALLY, BEGINS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING
Professor Gerry McCormac, £262,000 Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Stirling, (shown left), said: "It is with much sadness that we bid farewell to our Chancellor. Now more than ever, we need sage voices like Jim's to help us navigate through these uncertain times. Even when he is no longer our Chancellor, I know that Jim will continue to be a great friend to Stirling, and our entire University community."
Chancellor Alexander James 'Jim' Naughtie of BBC news commentary fame (shown right), said: "It has been an honour to serve as Chancellor of the University of Stirling for a decade, and an exhilarating one. I have been able to be part of a university filled with clever and compassionate staff, devoted to the best principles of education, and students whose vigour and imagination is a constant inspiration."
Naughtie received an honorary doctorate from the University of Stirling in 2001, and was installed as its Chancellor on October 9, 2008.
Jim Naughtie was born in Scotland and attended both the University of Aberdeen and Syracuse University in New York. He is a Fellow of the British-American Project. In 1986 he began hosting programs on BBC Television and Radio. In 1994 he became one of the main presenters on the BBC Radio 4 'Today' program where he was accused by Lord Tebbit in 2005 of revealing his bias towards the Labour Party while interviewing Ed Balls and revealing an identification with his political views. But worse follows, in his speech which can be accessed on the link below, James Naughtie lied repeatedly and distorted information repeatedly, while claiming to be an honest reporter. He is not. He is a mouthpiece for propaganda and his megaphone is on BBC airwaves. In his lecture he condescendingly dismisses as unworthy all those who disagree with his viewpoint. This is the same man who was Chancellor of Stirling University … where the war against Donald Trump began with their stooge named Joseph Mifsud - who has now "disappeared". He may have been murdered!
Now read about Naughtie's anti-Trump speech:
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/james-naughtie-delivers-cudlipp-lecture-10125413
"James Naughtie delivers Cudlipp Lecture on the 'culture war' Donald Trump has unleashed on the free press"
"Radio Four presenter James Naughtie delivered a powerful call to arms in the 'culture war' that Donald Trump has unleashed on the free press.
The former Today programme presenter, now BBC Special Correspondent, drew on the wealth of contacts he has made while covering Trump's presidency and the Presidential Election to illustrate how the attacks on the freedom of the press are being orchestrated.
His speech, delivered at the Museum of London last night, tackled the issues facing journalists who confront a president who accuses them of peddling 'fake news' in a talk entitled 'A World Turned Upside Down'. In the hour-long lecture Naughtie, who cut his teeth on The Scotsman before moving to The Guardian and Radio Four, said that despite acknowledged challenges "there has never been a better time to be a journalist".
McCormac is a highly paid team player:
February 17, 2016 - The salary of Gerry McCormac jumped five per cent – from £249,000 to £262,000 – between financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15. The pay of the principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Stirling is now over £100,000 more than each of the salaries of Prime Minister David Cameron, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel. And it is only £14,000 less that the £276,522 pay of US President Barack Obama. Professor McCormac, a 57-year-old physicist from Belfast, took over the top job at the University of Stirling in 2010. See: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/pay-rise-stirling-university-chief-7386232 .
Belfast and
Northern Ireland:
This is where the dots connect McCormac to the mysterious Joseph Mifsud and to Brexit, via the intervention of the Democratic Party of the USA in the 1988 'Good Friday' Agreement.
This is what Democratic Party U.S. Senate Leader (1989-1995) George Mitchell who became United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland (1995-2001) and then Chancellor of the Queen's University, Belfast (1999-2009) had to say about Brexit on March 14, 2018:
Senator Mitchell calls for no return to hard border in Ireland after Brexit
Former U.S. Democratic Party Senator George Mitchell said: "We must encourage a Brexit outcome that does not re-establish a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. …. The governments of the US and the UK must avoid any economic decisions that cost jobs or create hardship in Northern Ireland."
The senator made the comments at an event at the Library of Congress in Washington DC on Tuesday night to mark the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Mr Mitchell was instrumental in brokering the accord. He added: "As they today reflect on their responsibilities I hope that the current leaders of Northern Ireland, of Ireland, of the United Kingdom and of the European Union look back 20 years to what their predecessors were able to do." The senator said President Clinton was the first American president to make peace in Northern Ireland a central objective of his administration.
Belfast, McCormac & 'Climate Change'
Between 1990 and 2001, Gerry McCormac was Director of the High-Precision Carbon Dating Facility at Queen's University Belfast and Senior Lecturer in Environmental Monitoring. During this period, he founded the Centre for the Climate, Environment and Chronology (Chrono Centre) in Belfast.
Claire Smith & Joseph Mifsud
(See Mifsud & Clair Smith on Menu (left)
Joseph Mifsud had a close working relationship with Claire Smith of the UK Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). For eight years she was a member of the UK Cabinet Office Appeals Board from May 2009 until April 2017 where she served on the (JIC), a supervisory body overseeing all UK intelligence agencies and sets the collection and analysis priorities for all of the agencies it supervises. JIC is part of the Cabinet Office, and it reports directly to Prime Minister Theresa May.
Joseph Mifsud was photographed standing next to Claire Smith at Mifsud's LINK campus in Rome. Claire Smith had been attending a: "…Training program on International Security which was organised by Link Campus University and London Academy of Diplomacy (LAD), where Mifsud served as Director during October, 2012. His LinkedIn profile lists the University of Stirling as a place of occupation in connection with his service as Director of LAD.
Claire Smith was also a visiting professor at Stirling University between the years 2013-2014 where she hosted a seminar titled "Making Sense of Intelligence".

Universal Studios Hollywood Injury Lawyer Our Goal: Winning & Winning Big
Universal Studios Hollywood Injury Lawyer
Protecting Your Rights in a Theme Park Accident Case: Retain a Universal Studios Hollywood Injury Lawyer
A dream vacation for many people is a trip to a theme park like Universal Studios Hollywood. Such a vacation is intended to be a magical experience of pure entertainment, a time when you leave the cares of the world and daily life behind.
Unfortunately, each and every week, people are injured at theme parks. This can include everything from some types of ride injury to a slip and fall accident on the grounds of a theme park. The catastrophic amusement park ride accidents are what garner media attention when they do occur. However, there are less publicized, but injury-causing, accidents that occur at theme parks all the time, accidents that require the assistance of a California amusement park lawyer.
Documenting an Accident at Universal Studios
One of the challenges of addressing the aftermath of an accident at Universal Studios is documenting the event. Barring a major catastrophe at the venue, the hustle and bustle continues. Moreover, access can be limited as well.
Consider a ride injury at the theme park. For the purposes of illustration, assume you were injured on some sort of sharp edge protruding from part of a ride car. After the accident, you ideally would like the opportunity to take a photo or video of it. However, that very well may prove to be a challenge.
This type of challenge underscores the need to be proactive in seeking the professional assistance of a Universal Studios Hollywood injury lawyer, like a member of the legal team at The Doan Law Firm. An attorney from the firm can be reached by calling 424-334-0000. A skilled Universal Studios California injury lawyer can take steps and employ tactics to address possible shortcomings in evidence that was collected at the scene of the accident at the theme park.
Compensation for Theme Park Injury Case
The specific facts and circumstances of an injury accident at Universal Studios Hollywood govern the extent and nature of compensation potentially available to you in an amusement park accident case. Understanding this caveat, there are some types of compensation that an Universal Studios Hollywood injury attorney is likely to fight to obtain on behalf of a client.
Depending in the nature of an accident at an amusement park, including a ride injury, medical care and treatment can be extensive, resulting in significant medical bills. One area in which you likely are entitled to compensation following an amusement park injury accident is for medical expenses.
The level of pain and suffering that accompanies injuries associated with an amusement park accident can be severe. This represents another element of your overall damages to which you may be entitled to compensation in a Universal Studios accident case.
Other types of losses that warrant compensation include psychological anguish and lost wages. In addition, if you suffered a permanent injury or disability as the result of an accident at an amusement park, this is another compensable loss in a Universal Studios personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit.
Another aspect of compensation in an amusement park accident case involves what frequently are referred to as future damages. The reality is that damages you sustain in an amusement park accident can result in ongoing medical issues, pain and suffering, and even lost wages for an indefinite time into the future. Compensation for future losses must be included as part of any insurance settlement or court judgment.
If you end up retaining a Universal Studios California injury lawyer, and filing a lawsuit, your attorney may pursue punitive damages in your case. According to California law, punitive damages represent an extra amount of money paid to you in compensation.
Punitive damages are awarded in an amusement park injury lawsuit when a determination is made that a theme park, like Universal Studios, was particularly reckless in causing an accident resulting in injuries. In some cases, punitive damages ends up being a considerable amount of money, if the conduct of Universal Studios, or another park, proves particularly egregious.
Retaining a Universal Studios Injury Lawyer
A Universal Studios Hollywood injury lawyer on the legal team at The Doan Law Firm stands ready to schedule an initial consultation with you. A meeting can be scheduled immediately by calling (800) 349-0000. The Doan injury hotline is open around the clock, 365 days a year, and even on major holidays.
During an initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your case in full. An attorney will provide you with an overall evaluation of your case, and explain how the claims settlement and litigation processes work. There is no charge for an initial consultation with a California amusement park lawyer from The Doan Law Firm.
