The 6th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference, is set to unfold from June 13-18 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, under the theme: Jamaica and the Diaspora: Linking for Growth and Prosperity.
The conference will be launched this Friday (February 20) by the Prime Minister, Most Hon. Portia Simpson Miller, ON, MP at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.
The Preparatory Committee has sought to increase the Conference's attendance through deliberate targeting of Diaspora outside of the traditional areas of the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA) and Canada.
The 6th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference, set to unfold from June 13-18 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, under the theme: Jamaica and the Diaspora: Linking for Growth and Prosperity, will be launched this Friday (February 20) by the Prime Minister, Most Hon. Portia Simpson Miller, ON, MP at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.
Senator the Honourable, Arnold J. Nicholson, QC, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT) and the Honourable Arnaldo Brown, MP, Minister of State, MFAFT will also speak on the purpose, projected outcomes of the Conference and the importance of the Jamaica/Diaspora partnership in driving development.
Other launch presenters will include: Professor Neville Ying, CD, Chair of the Programme Sub Committee; Ambassador Paul Robotham, CD, Permanent Secretary, MFAFT, Mr. Robert Scott, Chair of the Marketing Sub Committee, and Ms. Lisa-Ann OGilvie, Project Manager. Chairman of the Diaspora Conference Preparatory Committee, Mr. Richard Powell will guide the proceedings.
In addition to an expanded MarketPlace and Diaspora Day of Service, the Preparatory Committee has sought to increase the Conference's attendance through deliberate targeting of Diaspora outside of the traditional areas of the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA) and Canada.
"In addition to engaging with our Diaspora on important developmental areas such as education, trade and investment, health and the creative industries, whilst keeping the popular Government-at-your-Service feature, this year's Conference seeks to further expand its scope through the deliberate targeting of our Diaspora further afield than the UK, the US and Canada," says Minister Nicholson.
With Diaspora engagement seen as an important developmental tool worldwide, and with Jamaica's Diaspora figures said to be over three (3) million, it is expected that this year's Conference, with the addition of the Market Place Live, will indeed position the Conference as the global forum for Jamaica and its Diaspora to further shape and concretize its development agenda.


Apple is quietly killing off MagSafe in the name of a single standardized connector. #Donglelife jokes aside, you can now charge your new MacBooks from any one of the USB-C ports (only one at a time though). The one thing you can't do anymore is trip over your charging cable.
The Magsafe—Apple's magnetically attached power connector—was always a quiet supporting cast member in Apple's line-up of laptop features, but it was a great one. You young folk may not remember the days before the Magsafe, but those were dark times indeed. Back in the barrel jack power cable era, if you tumbled over your cord, your laptop went down with you. Best case scenario: Your connector or your port got a nasty tweak. Worst case scenario: You needed a new I/O board, or even a new laptop.
Thanks to the magic of MagSafe, clumsy people like me were free to trip over our charging cords 100% worry-free. Because the cable just popped free. No harm. No foul. No laptop in pieces on the floor.
Yes, the USB-C form factor has a lot to offer for the future—one (reversible) port to rule them all!—but sacrificing the MagSafe on the altar of progress is a bigger misstep than tripping over your power cord. What's worse, the USB-C connections on the 13-inch MacBook Pro we just tore down are soldered to the logic board (Touch Bar edition configurations are yet to be seen). Trip over your cords too much, and you'll loosen the connection between the port and the board. Eventually, you won't be able to charge the laptop at all.
The USB-C connections on the base model of the 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro are soldered to the logic board.
If you're a microsoldering expert, you might be able to fix the port on your own. But I can't microsolder. And neither can anyone behind Apple's Genius Bar. Instead, fixing a broken USB-C port will require you to replace the whole logic board. Which is expensive. Oh, and since the Touch Bar's built-in Touch ID is tied to the logic board, you'll basically need to replace the whole laptop. Oops.
For a company that prides itself in the details, in accessibility, and in "it just works"—this is a step on your power cord in the wrong direction.
Is it possible to build a USB-C charging cable which has a magnetic breakaway? What I mean by this is that it would connect to the USB-C port on the mac and expose a magnetic based connection which would then connect to the rest of the cable. Could this restore the function of MagSafe? Technically, I am sure it is possible. The question would be if Apple has some sort of patent on MagSafe that would stop a 3rd party from creating such a cable? But Pebble uses a magnetic charging cable – so perhaps a 3rd party solution like this would not be immediately sued out of existence.
Given the layout of the USB ports on the MacBook Pro, and the chassis voids seen in the teardown, there really doesn't seem to be a reason Apple couldn't have put a MagSafe port on the left side of the MBPs. Even if they didn't ship a MagSafe adapter with the laptop, the port doesn't take up that much room and the USB Type-C ports are far enough from the back of the chassis to accommodate a MagSafe 2 port. If users WANTED to use MagSafe then, they could have (perhaps even requiring them to BUY something ELSE from Apple, at $79). Just moronic design on Apple's part. Absolutely moronic.
Both solutions are not optimal, but I consider them better than not having any MagSafe-like connecter.
Especially if you (like I do), own a clumsy dog, or maybe have small kids in the house.
My 2014 MacBook Pro Retina has never functioned at advertised battery life. Maybe it is the software I use, plus always being tethered through wifi, but even with using a battery conditioner software, I only every got a little over a half a day—and now after 2 years about 2.5-3 hrs. Thankfully it has always charged quickly. The power cord design (to me) is critical—and the MagSafe has been a lifesaver oodles of time while working on the road, in coffee shops, etc. Having "one connector to rule them all" may work for Apple's financial margin management, but it compromises CX/UX in the process. Fools.
I'm confident that a new patent can be granted for the slightest changes to an existing design. I think Apple might be losing numbers against the other platforms and this is a cheap, evil trick to make up some profit at the loss of sales. I'm betting they have lots of shady little contracts set up with lots of shady little quick degree program schools offering financial aid where you are required to use a macbook pro. They did this at the conservatory of recording arts and sciences. They make a fortune. I'm just glad that I found out about this site. Now I can get some REAL news… So, yeah, they will have magnetic again. They will sell an "adapter" to make it work. I'll put money on that.
that's why I'm buying a 2015/16 Mac Air laptop and because it's all a lot cheaper then the new Pro laptops, that don't really have much improvements in them to warrant the huge price hike.. Screw Apple !
This seems like a massively retrograde step, my Air has been saved countless times by magsafe. Yes they don't need charging as much as they used to but I generally run my Air attached to the mains when it's available. The passing of Steve Jobs has taken time to work its way through the sytem, but now we are clearly in the Post Jobs era, memories of what happened at Apple when they fired him all those years ago are beginning to resurface. The apparent desertion of high end users and a lack of response to the latest Microsft offerings is leading to an interesting reverasal of roles, MS appears now, as the smaller of the two companies, to be responding to the high profit niche markets that were once Apple's almost sole preserve. In the end if Apple continues down this road the same will happen to them as MS in the hardware business. There is something about the elegance, functionality and quality of design of Apple products that IMHO has always surpassed the opposition, but they have to offer products that fulfill people's needs otherwise all that superior design and elegance is for nothing.
2. their avoidance of Touch-screens, and 3. their reliance on predatory pricing, I see them becoming a rerun of BlackBerry, Apple is young in the appearance of its sales staff only, the feature mix of Apples is lagging by comparison, Apple seems to have become an overpriced basic vanilla-featured set of computers.
Here's my response, simply put: I'm no longer in the market for any new Apple Laptop. I'm on my way to buying a 2014 Pro to a 2016 Air, but once these used machines are no longer an option, I'm set to leave the Apple fold–this after being an exclusive Apple laptop user since the Powerbook 100.
Already, on the software side, I've grown increasingly irritated at the iOS-ifuckation of the MacOS. Now this. In a perfect world, no one would trip over a cord, no matter where the computer is at work, but we don't live in a perfect world, do we?
For me, reliability and repairability ALWAYS trump "features". We see Apple heading blandly in the opposite direction. Clearly, the bean-counters are in control.
Perhaps the concept of the Featurebug needs to see resurrection: something that works exactly as designed, yet screws things up.
Apple often seems to take away some of their best ideas/work. There's no reason these new pro MacBooks shouldn't have some form of MagSafe functionality!


The medical device is intended to restore the physiological functions of the intestinal walls, specifically formulated for the control and reduction of the symptoms related to diarrheal events of different aetiologies, such as abdominal tension and frequent emission of faeces.
The combination of Gelatin and Xyloglucan of which the product is composed acts by forming a film which protects the intestinal mucosa, reducing the frequency and duration of diarrhoea episodes. The medical device is available in capsule form for adults and as powder for paediatric use.
Xilaplus® complies the Essential Requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC and subsequent amendments.


I wanted to come up with a term that describes those people who are overzealous in their attempts to demonstrate they are an ally/they are woke. Those people who seem to show up in feminist spaces or those designated for POC to trot out their knowledge for head pats. Those people who attempt to fight the good fight on behalf of others who didn't ask for their help and certainly don't need anyone to speak for them. You know the type, right? I can't be alone in feeling my body clench when I stumble onto someone performing social justice.
So, I came up with a term: Social Justice Casualties.
I would happily adopt a better term if you have one. I am partial to a portmanteau if that helps.

1125. It has also been granted me to converse with those who were of the church called "Enosh," concerning which in Genesis 4:26. Their influx was gentle, and their conversation unassuming. They said that they live in charity with one another, and perform offices of friendship to others who come among them. But it was evident that their charity was the charity of friendship.* They live quietly, as good citizens, and do no injury to anyone.
* Swedenborg often uses the term "friendship" in the sense of mere personal and selfish regard. See Arcana Coelestia, n. 1158:2, 3875:5, 4054, 4804, etc. [REVISER].

Gary Sheffield believes that he should be in the Hall of Fame, says 'It's good to get all the facts straight'
Getty Images Gary Sheffield has been on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the past nine years without being elected -- or falling off the ballot --- and he believes its long past time that he should be enshrined in Cooperstown. While he was attending Reggie Jackson's Mr. October Foundation golf tournament on Monday, Sheffield stated that he was not the only player on the 2023 ballot that would've made the cut if it wasn't for being linked for performance-enhancing drugs. "I grew up in an era where they say these are the benchmarks, once you hit the benchmarks that's what is it," Sheffield told the Palm Beach Post . "All the things people want to put into play … It's good to get all the facts straight and if you get all the facts straight you'll see a lot of things you're saying are not true." In addition to Sheffield, players like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez, and Alex Rodriguez have all been connected to PEDs.

Fedor Emelianenko ready to wrap up Hall-of-Fame-worthy career in main event of Bellator 290
Bellator MMA The legendary Fedor Emelianenko will step into the Bellator cage for the final fight of his storied career on Saturday night. Emelianenko has the potential to end his career on a high note when he faces Ryan Bader for the heavyweight championship in the main event of Bellator 290 . While Emelianenko has seen previous retirements fail to stick, during a conversation with CBS Sports, he insisted this fight would be his last, win or lose. "100%," Emelianenko said. "Yes, I want to finish my sport career." Emelianenko became an MMA legend when he erupted onto the scene in the Japanese promotion PRIDE Fighting Championships in June 2002, dominating towering kickboxer Semmy Schilt to take a clear unanimous decision victory. In total, Emelianenko would go 14-0 in the PRIDE ring, that run standing out as part of 27-0 stretch that lasted from 2001 until mid-2010. While Emelianenko did eventually hit some rough waters, losing three straight fights in Strikeforce over … [Read more...] about Fedor Emelianenko ready to wrap up Hall-of-Fame-worthy career in main event of Bellator 290

NFL trends that will carry into 2023 season: Invest heavily in the offensive line, be aggressive, and more
USATSI Recency bias is a helluva drug. And the conference title games and Super Bowl always shape narratives for how to build a team, what style of offense and defense to incorporate, what the rest of the league should prioritize during the team-building process, etc. It happens every year. After the Eagles ' first Super Bowl win their usage of the "Run-Pass Option" made RPO vernacular overnight. Mahomes' Super Bowl win the following year pushed the new mold for the prototypical franchise quarterback. Last year, I highlighted the league's growing propensity to go for it on fourth down, pass on first down, and prioritize YAC. Those trends aren't going anywhere. To touch on them briefly here -- teams are still noticeably more aggressive on fourth down than they were even five to 10 years ago. That's good. The Bengals and Chiefs finished third and fourth, respectively, in first-down pass rate during the regular season. Eight of the 14 playoff teams were in the top 10 in … [Read more...] about NFL trends that will carry into 2023 season: Invest heavily in the offensive line, be aggressive, and more

Which Eagles Super Bowl team is better? Comparing 2022 lineup to 2017 championship roster
USATSI For the second time in six seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl . Fresh off a rout of the 49ers in the NFC Championship, the Birds have now secured a championship berth in each of the last three decades, previously advancing to the big game in 2004 and 2017. They claimed the Lombardi Trophy their last time out, and this year, they entered the playoffs with a franchise-record 14 regular-season victories. With that in mind, it's fair to wonder: are the 2022 Eagles actually better than their title-winning predecessors? Of course we don't mean it in the literal sense; until they hoist their own trophy, they are inferior. But what about talent-wise? Are the present-day Birds even more dangerous, with an even more balanced roster? Let's run through the major positions and decide: QB 2017: Nick Foles Jalen Hurts Replacing an injured Carson Wentz , who was emerging as dynamic MVP candidate at the time, Foles proved to be a historic fill-in, … [Read more...] about Which Eagles Super Bowl team is better?

Sean Payton trade grades: Broncos pony up for Super Bowl-winning head coach; Saints land two valuable picks
Getty Images Sean Payton is heading to the Denver Broncos as the franchise's next head coach, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones , after Denver reportedly acquire his contractual rights from the New Orleans Saints . The Saints and Broncos have finalized trade compensation for head coach Sean Payton, according to ESPN , paving the way for the Super Bowl champion head coach to become Denver's next head coach. Denver sends it's 2023 first-round pick from San Francisco (No. 30 overall) and a 2024 second-round pick to New Orleans for Payton and their 2024 third-round pick, according to Adam Schefter . The first-round pick being sent by Denver is actually the one acquired from the Dolphins in exchange for linebacker Bradley Chubb . Miami acquired the pick initially from the 49ers as part of the Trey Lance deal.

O Campeonato Paulista de Flag Football 8x8, também conhecido simplesmente como Paulista de Flag, é uma competição de flag football masculino disputada em São Paulo. Realizada desde 2010 e organizada pela Associação Pró-Futebol Americano (APFA) a partir de 2012, é uma das principais competições da modalidade de futebol americano no país.

Modalidade 8x8
O flag football 8x8 é uma variação que se tornou popular no Brasil, sobretudo no estado de São Paulo. Ao contrário da variação mais tradicional do flag (5x5), o 8x8 inclui 3 jogadores de linha ofensiva/defensiva para cada time, além de permitir bloqueios e contatos dentro da zona neutra. As dimensões do campo de jogo são maiores, que variam de acordo com o regulamento de cada organização, possibilitando marcações de First Downs. Também diferentemente da versão 5x5 e se aproximando mais da versão tradicional Full Pads, há traves em formato de Y no final de ambas End Zones, possibilitando Field Goals e Extra Points.

História
No ano de 2010, cinco equipes de flag football do interior de São Paulo (Piracicaba Cane Cutters, Avaré Mustangs, Barretos Carcarás, Lençóis Paulista Hawks e São Carlos Warthogs), criaram o Caipira Bowl, torneio que fazia referência aos Bowls Universitários americanos unindo com a cultura caipira do estado. Embora o número pequeno de times participantes, este torneio foi um marco importantíssimo na história do esporte. Seu formato promovia não apenas um, mas dois ou mais jogos no mesmo dia, de várias equipes, proporcionando ao público verdadeiros eventos esportivos. O formato se mostrou como um verdadeiro sucesso, atraindo um público além do esperado em todas as cidades. O torneio culminou na final entre Barretos Carcarás e Avaré Mustangs. O jogo foi realizado na cidade de Avaré e disputada num estádio com presença de mais de 1000 pessoas e cobertura da televisão local. O time visitante, porém, saiu com o primeiro título paulista.

O sucesso da organização atraiu o interesse de diversas equipes da capital que preteriram o Caipira Bowl às competições da capital paulista, fazendo com que o número de equipes aumentasse na edição de 2011.

Com a entrada das equipes da cidade de São Paulo, a partir de 2012 a organização da competição passou a se chamar Associação Pró-Futebol Americano e o campeonato, de Paulista de Flag. Semelhante ao que acontece na NFL e em outros esportes americanos, o campeonato passou a ser dividido em duas conferências: a Conferência Caipira que consistia nos times do interior de São Paulo, e a Conferência Metrópolis, composta pelos times da capital do estado e região metropolitana. As finais de cada conferência foram chamadas de Caipira Bowl (herdando o nome antigo da competição) e Metropolis Bowl, respectivamente. Os campeões de cada conferência se encontram na final da competição, o Sampa Bowl, em alusão ao Super Bowl.

Em 2016 a APFA organiza pela primeira vez um campeonato feminino de Flag Football, este no formato 5x5. Tiveram 6 equipes participantes e a equipe do São Paulo Storm saiu com o título.

Desde então, o Paulista de Flag se mostrou um sucesso esportivo e a cada ano mais equipes participavam da competição. Em 2018, 35 equipes participaram do campeonato, seguindo de 33 equipes no ano anterior e 31 equipes em 2016.

Em 2020, o campeonato teve que ser cancelado em virtude da pandemia da COVID-19. Em 2021 um novo campeonato chegou a ser cogitado, porém por conta das limitações impostas pela secretaria de saúde e pela preocupação da saúde dos atletas, o campeonato não pôde sair do papel.

Em 2022 o campeonato voltará a ser realizado e contará com 16 times, sendo 8 times da Conferência Caipira e 8 times da Conferência Metrópolis.

Keith Mosfet's newest single Let Me Go effortlessly ties together 1960s pop, 1970s folk, and the Britpop of the 1990s. The taut instrumentation on Mosfet's latest provides a robust backdrop for the paired (female and male) vocals. The guitars are technically proficient while building off of the folk-rock of performers like Neil Young. Let Me Go's chorus will tattoo itself deep into the minds and hearts of listeners, while the overall charisma that oozes forth from Mosfet's vocals is reminiscent to Meatloaf's vocals on Hot Pattootie – Bless My Soul. Let Me Go has tremendous replay value as fans delve the complexity of the song's instrumentation.

Reverse the approval for farmers in the UK to use a harmful pesticide for bees.
Submitted on Saturday 9th January 2021
Rejected on Monday 11th January 2021
Current status: Rejected
Rejection code: duplicate (see below for details)
Find an alternative solution to the pesticide product (containing neonicotinoid thiamethoxam) which has been given a 'limited and controlled' emergency authorisation for farmers to use in the UK treatment of sugar beet seed in 2021.
The Government is aware of the clear harm that neonicotinoid pesticides cause to bees and other pollinators and just 3 years ago supported restrictions on them across the European Union. Neonicotinoids pose a significant environmental risk – particularly to our bees and other pollinators – and over the last decade hundreds of thousands of people across the UK have called for better protection of our bees, and for these highly toxic pesticides to be banned.

How can you critisice Ole man?!
Nope , not criticising him one bit , he has gone old school , just go and score!
can you go to the Red Cafe forum and tug each other off there instead?
Ask the nurse to increase your medication.
Go for it and rather FH in gw 32?
Would mean Kamara to Barnes this gw and captain Son.
Best defender to transfer in this week for Digne?
So I'm looking for defender who plays in 31 & 33.
But I do own Robbo, Doc, TAA & AWB too. Think getting Pereira will cause a lot of benching headaches.
Keeping Hazard now so need to use one of my 2 FTs on Digne or Kamara.
Could get Rondon for Kamara but plan is to upgrade Kamara to Aguero next week.
Yup I think I could keep Digne and upgrade him to Luiz later.
One week punt on Rondon could work out.
I am doing Shaw to Pereira tonight probably.
United GK struggling. Could be a big blow in the top 4 race.
He's their 2nd choice keeper.
Damn it. I always fall for these things.
Walcott for the blanks anyone?
When is Barkley coming on for Kovacic?
What happened to Azpi? Used to be so reliable before Sarri.
Kids across England used to grow up dreaming of playing in FA Cup for their team.
Hope no English kids grew up supporting Chelsea with that dream.
So with Everton looking likely to play in 31 now, guessing I shouldn't be rushing to get rid of Digne & Rich now? Though I could maybe do Schindler > Lejeune this GW instead as realistically I'm not going to want to play Schindler in 31 or any other week.
It's like getting rid of chlamydia isn't it.
He's top heavy these days. Heskey suffered from the same problem.
Lol I'm sure there is a happy medium between the two!
I think he's in training for a crack at the Wimbledon ladies singles title this summer.
Alexis waking up from his nap.
Anyone who didn't see the interview will be quite alarmed by this comment.
Atom & Humber love a run-around.
Kante yc. Rashford playing very well.
FH candidates for this GW... any others?
Prefer the look of FH candidates when they play twice in a GW.
How many players you got out?
How many players do you have this week ?
Martial to Fanderson/Maddy, Digne to Pereira ?
If doherty is passed fit I would just take a hit.
Does Kamara + 1.1m buy you Ashley Barnes @ 5.6m?
Nope. The usual 0.1 out!
Crushed under the wheel of Jose.
Jose had him too busy being a bulldog instead of playing the game.
Shipping Alonso--> Pereira this week, may ditch Sane to Mane pre-BGW too.
To which are you referring?
Chelsea should bring in Giroud for one of the CMs and try 3-4-3.
My bad, just keep doing more of the same, Sarri.
Give it 10 mins before you judge. It might be better than the original plan A.
Stop posting the same stuff every week.

Saving seeds was once an essential part of the culture of farming, but most modern vegetable growers now rely on commercial seed. The cost of this convenience is seed that has no relationship with the specific conditions of our farms and gardens. Through seed saving we can reinvigorate the relationship between seeds and land, creating plants that are uniquely adapted to thrive. This workshop will explore practical ways to integrate seed saving into your farm so that you can individualize your crops for flavor, nutrition, color, yield, disease resistance, and more. You cannot buy seeds that will be so good for your land!

Employers Key to Addressing Lung Cancer Disparity in Rural Kentucky
University of Kentucky assistant professor Jennifer Knight (bottom, third from right) with coalition of UK and University of Louisville colleagues working to address lung cancer disparity in rural Kentucky.
By Elizabeth Chapin
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among all Kentuckians. Male Kentuckians have higher rates than females, with a disproportionate number residing in rural and medically underserved parts of the state.
According to a University of Kentucky study, worksite intervention may be key to connecting men in rural Kentucky with critical lung cancer prevention and control resources and services. A UK-led coalition is partnering with employers in Southern Kentucky to address this health disparity.
The UK College of Public Health, in coordination with the Kentucky Cancer Program at the University of Louisville and the Kentucky Cancer Consortium, have created a worksite intervention on lung cancer, which targets work sites with predominantly male employees in eight rural and medically underserved counties in southern Kentucky. The counties include: Casey, Christian, Clay, Jackson, McCracken, Ohio, Perry and Warren.
The coalition was created in 2016, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designated a coalition based at the UK College of Public Health as a member of the SelfMade Health Network, a national network of dedicated professionals, organizations and communities seeking to eliminate tobacco-related health disparities in underserved or high-risk populations.
The first phase of funded research, which was recently published in the American Journal of Men's Health, included focus groups with community organizations in order to understand the resources and services available in each county, such as tobacco treatment, lung cancer screenings, smoke-free workplace policies and radon prevention.
"What we learned is that employers may be an effective way to reach men in rural Kentucky," said Jennifer Knight, an assistant professor in the UK College of Public Health Department of Health Management and Policy and principal investigator on the project. "Another important takeaway is community organizations and area employers are very interested in developing partnerships with one another."
While the first research phase was focused on how to create the partnerships, Knight says the coalition is now coordinating the worksite intervention.
After holding informational roundtables with work sites in each county, the group developed a resource kit for employers, who are currently testing them.
"When we take the time to do this kind of research in communities, we can learn a lot about what is needed and how we can contribute to improving the health of our communities," Knight said.

Andrusovo-traktaten (,  (Andrusovskoje peremirie), , (Andrusivske peremirja) var en våbenhvile på 13 og et halvt år, undertegnet i 1667 mellem Storfyrstedømmet Moskva og Det polsk-litauiske Realunion som en afslutning på en krig, som havde pågået siden 1658 over områderne, som dækker dagens Ukraine og Hviderusland. I praksis blev traktaten en opsummering af udfallet af krigene fra 1654 efter Perejaslav-traktaten, i og med at Niemież-traktaten fra 1656 var kun af midlertidig karakter. Den var også knyttet til Sveriges militære successer i Karl Gustav-krigene, som udgjorde en trussel mod begge nationer.

Traktaten blev undertegnet den 30. januar 1667 i landsbyen Andrusovo, nær Smolensk, fra russisk side underskrev diplomaten og statsmanden Afanasij Ordin-Nasjtsjokin mens Jerzy Chlebowicz underskrev for Den polsk-litauiske Realunion. Polen-Litauen godtog at afstå Smolensk og Tsjernihiv voivodskap og accepterede russisk kontrol over Ukraine øst for Dnepr. Områderne vest for Dnepr og Hviderusland skulle fortsat være under polsk-litauisk styre. Byen Kiev skulle kun ligge under Rusland til 1669, men Rusland formåede at beholde byen ved at undertegne Den evige fredstraktat med Polen-Litauen i 1686, som også stabiliserede den østlige grænse mellem de to nationer i næsten 100 år, frem til Polens første deling i 1772. Området Zaporizjzja skulle være under fælles styre, mens de to lande skulle samarbejde om at forsvare sig mod Det osmanniske rige.

Traktaten medførte store territoriale tab for Polen-Litauen og blev en endelig stopper for unionens aktive politik i øst. Til trods for indre konflikter formåede Rusland, takket være ydre forhold som Khmelnytskyj-opstanden og den såkaldte Syndflod, at overvinde Storhertugdømmets næsten 100-årige dominans og gik over til offensiv politik, ligesom der derved lagdes grunden for den senere ekspansion, som gav Rusland status som europæisk stormagt.

I Rusland blev aftalen stort set lovprist og set som et vigtigt skridt for at slå sammen tre øst-slaviske nationaliteter; ukrainere, hviderussere og russere inden for en stat, Det russiske kejserrige. I Ukraine bliver traktaten ofte set som et led i delingen af Ukraine mellem dets mægtige naboer.

As many of you out there, I subscribe to zillions of different newsletters to get the most information on what's happening and what can be explored. And again, as many of you probably, I right click and delete most of them if there is nothing catching my eye right in the subject line. But when I do not hit the Delete button, I tend to come across interesting events, trips, sites, etc quite frequently. And then I realize I have no time for all of this, inevitably vicious circle. At a moment, I do enjoy one particular that stands out amongst the many commercial ones, Ian Visits. It certainly has unique activities and that is how I found out about the 40th Spring Bus and Coach Gathering in Weybridge, Surrey.
Out of the flat, rushing for the tube and barely making it on time to catch my train (only because I HAD to stop by the coffee shop to get my mocha.) Don't get me wrong, I am not one of the people that have to have their morning coffee otherwise they cannot cope. I am one of those bizarre people, that restrict themselves to maximum of three coffees a week and this was my chance for the third one! I could not have passed on that opportunity. Now, let me finally start about those silly buses and other carriages.
Once in Weybridge, the adventure started. I had no idea where to go but following the majority of people coming out of the train was a good decision. Walking up the street, already felt like I am some 50 years back in time (I really wish that would be possible as I would go 90 years back without a blink but that's for another post.) One of the Routemaster fathers, the RT4779 route number 468 was waiting for us outside the train station and ready to transport us to the land of classics. I make my way in and the musty old smell hits me straight away. I am already liking it (don't call me weird.) Curiously looking around, I realize that it will not just be the buses that are "mature", but also the visitors. Man, felt I out of place. But more the fun.
Getting my ticket and walking down the road to the actual grounds, I realize I have no idea where is what so I just head for the area mostly concentrated area by buses figured that must be the main spot (it wasn't as I realized later, almost too late.) I pull out my camera and start taking photos only realizing I also should pay attention to the origins of the buses and stories behind it. Which one will it be? Making sure I take all the photos while the sun is out and facing the right direction or taking it slow and learning a lot? I didn't have to decide, the sun was out all day and I took it slowly. Here is the first line of the seasoned buses I encountered.
Dennis Loline III 462 from the 1961/62 year built by Dennis Specialist Vehicles, a major British coach builder.
Couple of Leyland buses. The Olympian Metrobus G806TMX and the Titan PD3 with dual staircase. Loved the colours.
A vintage 1959 Daimler bus, CV D258, operated by the Glasgow Corporation and even older Leyland RTL1323 that initiated its London life in 1952.
1964 Leyland Titan PD3 'Queen Mary' open top double decker, operated by Southdown Motor Services from the early 60s. Behind is the Greenslades Tours coach operated by AEC (Associated Equipment Company) from the 60s as well.
.. and the Greenslades' impressive tire.
1950 Guy Arab manufactured by Guy Motors and operated by Birmingham City Transport up until the 70s. Very sleek. And holly BUSH! Must be loved.
Quite charmingly looking a London Transport AEC Regal III T792 bus which served during the 50s and was pulled back around 1960.
Another impressively looking bus from the 1962, the Harrington Cavalier operated by AEC Reliance during its peak time. I quickly spoke to the guys that restored it and their pride was justified. You can see the impressive interior of this bus further down the post.
A classic emergency vehicle, the Bedford CAL Ambulance (1492B) from 1968.
And going even more back in time, you could find yourself on an authentic Three Light "Garden-Seat" Horse Bus from the 1898! I really love the old advertisements. And I was pleased with the way the photo came out from the front view.
Now, let's move on to some interiors. They were certainly impressive and well restored or preserved.
Chevrolet pickup truck with license plate 981 XUM from 1947. It took some time to make sure no people are standing in a way but the waiting paid off. I like this shot.
And here along the Daimler England cabriolet, a vintage beauty. I certainly wouldn't mind parking this one in my "imaginary" garage.
Classic Triumph Vitesse from the mid 60s.
Auto Carriers (AC) Roadster from the distant past and its proud owner. If I got that right, this is from the later 20s? Impressive.
I want that classic Vespa scooter sitting under my open garage in sunny south of France, how about that.
And this 1964 Austin Healey 3000MK III would be carefully cared for and taken out for a ride on special occasions only, daily.
Look at the shine! Just stunning.

Thanks Sonia! I am so behind. Have to catch up on next posts. Have definitely new material, just to put it together.
They are indeed. In fact, all vintage cars. I am aware of the museum but prefer them out in the open. They also organised different events like vintage car races and 40s fair. I am still due to visit those.
The fourth stop on that vintage bus timetable is where I live now !
Looking at it closely, I can see now what it says but how did you happen to read it, it's so tiny! Good spotting. Do the buses still go so far?

Ketza is an abandoned former gold and silver mine located 85 km south of Ross River within the Traditional Territory of the Kaska Nation, including the Ross River Dena Council, Liard First Nation, and Kaska Dena Council and also in the Traditional Territory of the Teslin Tlingit Council.
The Ketza River mine is situated in the Pelly Mountains, and located near the headwaters of the Cache Creek drainage basin connected to the Ketza and Pelly rivers.
The Ketza River mine was an underground and open-pit gold and silver mine that was owned by a number of companies throughout its lifetime, the last being Veris Gold Corp. Exploration activities at the property originally began in 1947 with interest in the property ongoing until 1960. Advanced exploration and production was conducted between 1984 and 1990 with continued exploration occurring throughout the 1990s and 2000s as the site changed owners. During production primarily from 1988 to 1990, more than 340,000 tonnes of ore were processed, producing approximately 3.1 million grams of gold.
In June 2014, Veris Gold Corp. filed for and obtained creditor protection. The mine owner continued to maintain the site and its infrastructure until September 2014. In April 2015, the Ketza River mine site was abandoned and the Government of Yukon took over the responsibility for care and maintenance of the site.
Care and maintenance activities are unique to each abandoned mine site. For further details, visit Ketza River mine site's care and maintenance page.

Rail safety not defined by absence of accidents, says regulator
Iarnród Éireann must heed advice and 'comply with the regulator's directions'
Fri, Dec 23, 2016, 01:00

Iarnród Éireann says it has one of the best safety records in Europe and has not had a passenger death in 25 years. However, on Wednesday it was castigated by the railway regulator over its attitude to safety.
The row puzzles many. However, the reason may may lie deep in the Commission for Railway Regulation's annual report, which states simply that safety cannot be defined by an absence of accidents.
Rather, regulator Gerald Beesley follows the path laid by the 1987 King's Cross underground fire inquiry, which ruled that safety results from management and staff identifying hazards and then doing something about them.
In a letter to the chairman of Iarnród Éireann, Phil Gaffney, in June 2015 , Beesley said he was not questioning the commitment to safety held by the board and senior management of the State-owned rail operator.
However, he said in the industry's new regulatory environment, they had to show that commitment in the application of the various safety management guidelines and regulations.
In particular, Beesley told Minister for Transport Shane Ross last November the company had to understand its obligation to heed the advice and comply with the regulator's directions.
However, Iarnród Éireann's board's minutes reflect a different reality, with members displaying frustration with the regulator, who they believed was acting disproportionately to the level of risk.
Stinging criticism
The conflicting positions erupted in public on Wednesday with the publication of the regulator's stinging criticism of Iarnród Éireann management in his annual report for 2015, complaining that relations had deteriorated from 2015.

Meanwhile, internal correspondence seen by The Irish Times suggests the company was very unhappy in January 2015 with a draft report by the regulator into strategic safety management in the company.
The draft contained some positive elements, but they were "overshadowed by the overly negative" tone: "The report draws conclusions that are unsubstantiated and often on the basis of individual opinion."
Meanwhile, Iarnród Éireann argued that the report contained inaccuracies and contradictions, and it questioned the basis for a claim by the regulator that "near misses" are not reported because staff are fearful of repercussions.
Talks between the regulator's office and Iarnród Éireann in April 2015 appeared to go well, but plummeted later when the company discovered that Beesley had sent a note on the meeting to the Department of Transport.
The board minutes record Gaffney complaining that he did not understand why the regulator did not "act in a manner which is proportionate to risks".
Factual errors in a regulator's audit were not acceptable, while the minutes noted that Iarnród Éireann's chief executive, David Franks, had been trying to arrange a meeting to improve the situation.
Another bone of contention was organisational changes planned within Iarnród Éireann, about which the regulator was unhappy that he had not been informed.
In a letter to Gaffney at the end of June, Beesley said successful co-operation in the past had been built on early engagement and open and transparent declarations by Iarnród Éireann of its intentions.
"It should not be necessary for the regulator to 'extract' information from any railway organisation," he wrote, "and it is therefore prudent that the former modus operandi be restored."
Safety expectations
In mid-August 2015, a senior regulator official wrote to Franks regarding strategic safety management systems, saying the State and the public have an expectation that "its operations are being managed safely".
"The board must be assured that its management teams is doing, at a minimum, what the law requires, and that its safety management systems are being applied, complied with and are effective in the control of risk," it went on.
The Commission on Rail Regulation called it worrying that directors with a specific responsibility for safety had not been replaced, and, also, that "the relevant professional heads of safety" no longer attended board meetings.
On Wednesday, however, the Minister said a new programme of actions had been agreed between the company and the regulator in a bid to deal with the concerns raised.
While the regulator had raised strong concerns about certain safety governance matters, Ross said these were of a long-term strategic nature, and that there were no immediate risks to safety.
