Brea, Calif, – Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (SMAI) is pleased to announce the all-new RM-Z450 motocross model. Completely redesigned for 2018, the RM-Z450 wraps a sleek, race-ready appearance around a stronger engine and a nimble chassis that continues the Suzuki tradition of extraordinarily precise handling.
Developed using Suzuki's RUN, TURN, and STOP philosophy that creates a Winning Balance between engine and chassis performance, the 2018 RM-Z450 has stronger brakes for better stopping power, a wider spread of engine muscle with higher peak power, and a frame that is stronger and lighter resulting in a nimble chassis that elevates the standard for cornering performance.
This new bike continues Suzuki's tradition of producing the best handling motocross motorcycles available by arming the RM-Z450 with a redesigned aluminum, twin-spar frame and swingarm. Refined with new dimensions and weight distribution, this frame is accompanied by a new style Showa coil spring fork and an ultra-advanced Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock absorber. Similar to the design used on Suzuki's potent GSX-R1000R, the BFRC shock (shown at left) brings advanced damping force control and stability to off-road competition.
Fitted with a new, larger front brake rotor and a sleek new rear master cylinder, the RM-Z450 delivers improved stopping performance. A high level of grip and feedback is delivered to the rider via the RM-Z450's new Bridgestone X30 tires mounted to the stronger, but lighter aluminum rims.
Key improvements for the 2018 RM-Z450 powerplant include changes to the air intake, electronic fuel injection system, and select engine parts to improve throttle response while boosting peak power.
An evolved version of Suzuki's Traction Management System helps the bike hook up regardless of the conditions, while an updated Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control (S-HAC) system) gets the RM-Z450's rider out in front with a stronger power surge out of the starting gate.
The RM-Z450's aggressive new styling blends purpose with a strong Suzuki racing personality. The bike's narrow cockpit lets the rider easily move around, blending with the chassis for maximum racing performance.
Function creates style as the bodywork flows from the front fender, into the number plate and radiator shrouds, through the slender seating area, then merging into the angled side covers and pointed tail.
Understated graphics with blue and black accents hover above the iconic Suzuki Championship Yellow bodywork, creating an innovative look that is instantly recognizable as a serious racing machine.
Always a successful racer, the RM-Z450 has delivered a world championship, seven AMA SX or MX championships, plus 19 national titles around the globe while securing more moto and overall wins in the US than any other 450-class bike in the last decade. Now, with this significant revision, the 2018 RM-Z450 is poised to be an even more formidable competitor.

In great memory of ....
Tuesday, December 25, 2012 5 comments
2012 has been a sad year for jazz fans around the world with the passing away of seven sax-players whose records we all know, whose music we've enjoyed, whose shows we admired. In memory of those men, some quick overviews.
David S. Ware
David S. Ware, one of my favorite artists passed away, after long suffering from kidney disease despite a transplant two years ago. Ware's music will always remain among the absolute top in free jazz, with albums such as "Live In Vilnius", "Threads", "Corridors & Parallels", "Surrender", "Shakti", "Live In The World" as a few of my favorites. His band members were always among the best you can find in innovative jazz circles, with Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Whit Dickey, Guillermo E Brown, Susie Ibarra, Joe Morris. His music has this post-Coltrane soaring spirituality, full of lyricism and great themes, while at the same time offering lots of freedom to improvise and express feeling. His energetic expansive way of playing will remain unique.
A jazz monument and musical innovator left us with a fantastic catalogue of music.
Byard Lancaster
Alto-saxophonist and flautist Byard Lancaster also passed away in August at the age of 70. Less known than David S Ware, he is one of those musicians who were into the soul and the roots of music, willing to play funk as well as collaborate with Bill Dixon and Sunny Murray. A music educator, he wanted his free jazz to appeal to larger audiences, adding solid rhythms and more tribal African sounds. Also a Coltrane adept (who isn't?) his music adds this communal element of joint celebration, dancing and mourning. "Funny Funky Rib Crib" (1974), "Live At Macalester College" are among his best, but also his more recent work such as "Pam Africa" and "Ancestral Link Hotel", both on CIMP are easy to recommend.
Lol Coxhill
In July, British soprano saxophonist Lol Coxhill passed away. He was one of the absolute central figures in the British free improv scene, with hundreds of records on which he performed. Like Lancaster, he was open to any style of music, and collaborated with bands of all genres : blues, soul, R&B, punk, jazz and very very avant-garde electro-acoustic work, and very very much himself at all times. His tone could be detected from miles away. The British newspaper The Guardian described him as "generous, gifted and amiably eccentric".
Last October, Danish tenor saxophonist John Tchicai left us. Like Lancaster, Tchicai was also one of the early free jazz voices in the sixties, playing with John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, yet he continued to perform and innovate, by playing with young musicians and by keeping an open mind to new evolutions, as with John Coxon and Ashley Wales, or with fellow countrymen Jonas Westergaard and Kresten Osgood. My preferred recent album by him is "Good Night Songs" with Charlie Kohlhase and Garrison Fewell.
Faruq Z. Bey
In June, Faruq Z Bey passed away. Despite an erratic career due to an accident and health issues, he will be remembered as the driving force behind Griot Galaxy and for his collaborations with Northwood Improvisers. His own music was also very much inspired by Africa, with great polyrhythmics and trance-like soloing. Recent reviews can be found on this blog : his collaboration with Dennis González on "Hymn For Tomasz Stanko", and his own "Emerging Field". I am not too familiar with his other work, but also "Auzar" is easy to recommend for fans of Africa-centric music. Somehow, his music remained strongly rooted in the seventies.
I want to thank them for their great music. Our thoughts are with their families.
Borah Bergman
Borah Bergman also died, ironically and sadly enough on the same day David S. Ware passed away. Bergman was a great pianist who worked with many great musicians like Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Andrew Cyrille, Evan Parker, Peter Brötzmann or John Zorn. Brötzmann even called him his favorite pianist. My Bergman favorite recordings are The Human Factor (with Cyrille), Exhilaration (with Cyrille and Brötzmann), Ride into the Blue (with Thomas Borgmann and Brötzmann, I also had the pleasure to see them live), Eight by Three (with Braxton and Brötzmann) and Luminiscence (with Greg Cohen, Kenny Wollesen - and John Zorn, on one track only). Allegedly he was suffering from dementia and died in a nursing home in New York. He will surely be missed (By Martin Schray)
Tony Marsh
"The percussionist Tony Marsh, who has died of cancer aged 72, was an inspired collaborator, combining intensity with restraint and stroking the drums more than he struck them. He worked with some of the most creative artists in European jazz of the past four decades, from the composer Mike Westbrook to the saxophonists John Tchicai and Evan Parker.
"'Listen closely, take a chance, keep going even if money's tight, and you'll find the real reward – that's why Tony was hip in the most meaningful sense,' [Evan] Parker says. 'And he didn't need to play loud, or be loud, to get that intensity. It's like splitting diamonds or something. If you know exactly the right place to make the impact, you don't need to hit anything hard.'" (from The Guardian, with thanks to guitarist Han-Earl Park for adding his name).

Thank you Martin for remembering Borah Bergman.
I had the pleasure (!) to meet him once at the Kitchen, in the lobby either before or after a Bergman, Borgmann, Brotzmann trio set. Amazing, of course.
Han-earl Park said...
In addition to Borah Bergman, I'd add the English drummer, percussionist and improviser Tony Marsh.
"'Listen closely, take a chance, keep going even if money's tight, and you'll find the real reward – that's why Tony was hip in the most meaningful sense,' [Evan] Parker says. 'And he didn't need to play loud, or be loud, to get that intensity. It's like splitting diamonds or something.

There is nothing like indulging yourself in the luxurious surroundings of a 5 Star Hotel, but when it comes to staying in the world's most expensive hotels, you are going to have to dig deep… very deep, if you are to enjoy a summer getaway in Sardinia Italy, Utah in the United States, or Easter Island Chile.
During a recent study, Luxury-Hotels.com compared the rates of luxury hotels across the globe, and came up with a list of the 20 Most Expensive Hotels in the World, which charge between $1106 and $1889 per night for a standard double room during peak summer travel periods (although there is no mention if that includes breakfast!).
And while you may think that the world's most expensive hotels are located on tropical islands such as Bora Bora and the Maldives, it was actually France that topped the list with 5 hotels in the top 20, Italy followed close behind with 4 hotels, and Chile came in third with 3 exclusive hotels on the list.
Have you stayed in any of the above? If so, please drop us a line and let us know – we'd love to find out if they are worth it!!

Whether you're the state president or sitting with a peer that was alone at lunch, it's making a difference. FFA is an organization based upon making a difference: making a difference for your peers, your school, your community, and your world.
The first General Session, held on June 20th, kicked off convention with keynote speaker Grant Baldwin. Baldwin has spoken to thousands of FFA members at 19 different FFA conventions about making that difference.
He began his career as a youth pastor and used it as a starting point for his motivational speeches. Baldwin was introduced to a couple of professional speakers and found a new career path. He began to find his 'voice' and share his message.
Baldwin explained that having a different voice has occurred within his own life, with his own daughter. "I'll say something and it just won't click, but when she hears it from someone else it does. I said that, but she didn't hear my 'voice,'" he explained.
Six members of the agriculture education community tabbed for exceptional service to Indiana FFA.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana (June 21, 2017) – Indiana FFA recognized six people for their dedication to agriculture education and FFA at the 88th Indiana FFA State Convention on Wednesday. Brad Acton, Stacey Hartley, Mel Lenig, and Tamara Neighbors were recognized as Honorary Degree Recipients, while Duane Huge and Ben Helms were tabbed with the Distinguished Service Award.
Mr. Brad Acton has been an employee of the Indiana FFA Leadership Center for the past seven years where he plays a key role in the maintenance and upkeep throughout the year. Brad dedicates himself day in and day out to maintain the facilities at the Indiana FFA Leadership Center, which is home to our 12,501 Indiana FFA members.
A middle school agriculture education teacher at Lebanon High School, Mrs. Stacey Hartley has played a vital role in the development and success of both the middle school and high school FFA chapters. Increasing the pipeline of incoming teachers, Mrs. Hartley has influenced numerous students to pursue a degree in agriculture education. She was named IAAE's District IV Teacher of the Year and Lebanon's School Corporation's Teacher of the Year.
Mr. Mel Lenig has been an agriculture educator for 34 years. He has been involved in many activities that has furthered agriculture in both his local community and the state of Indiana, where he has taught over 6,000 students at Penn High School. In 2007, Mr. Lenig was named Indiana's Agriculture Educator of the Year and has even been invited to the White House twice by two different Presidents as a National Finalist and a National Winner of the Building Our American Communities Program.
Currently serving as the Executive Director of Indiana FFA, Miss Tamara Neighbors began her career in agricultural education at Mount Vernon High School where she taught for six years. She worked to develop a chapter that focused on growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture. She has worked diligently to put more structure within the FFA and has launched a five-year strategic plan that should serve as the template for the Association's operations in the future.
After 41 years of teaching agriculture classes, Mr. Ben Helms retired from teaching in 2016. Mr. Helms taught at L&M High School for two years, and taught at Bloomfield High School for 39 years, where he was only the second Ag teacher ever to teach at Bloomfield High School since its inception in 1949. Mr. Helms served as the dorm counselor at Indiana FFA State Convention for 25 years. During his career, he has spent many hours at the Indiana FFA Leadership Center maintaining, detailing, and building structures around the facility.
The 2016-2017 Indiana FFA State Officers reflect on their year of service and favorite memories.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Obama administration officials outlined comprehensive proposals to rein in the free-wheeling market in financial derivatives on Friday, which has been blamed for helping to create the global economic crisis, and proposed stronger investor protections.
More administration proposals are expected in coming weeks to expand the powers of the federal agencies that oversee trillions of dollars in equities and futures markets.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission could act on its own power and put new regulations in place by late October, said one of its five commissioners. The agency plans hearings this summer on whether to limit the number of oil and other futures contracts that a trader can hold, as a way to limit market volatility.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a joint hearing of two U.S. House committees that over-the-counter derivatives must be brought under federal regulation. Financial reform was a front-rank issue when Congress convened in January but was overtaken by health care reform and climate change bills.
"We propose to require all OTC (over-the-counter) derivatives dealers ... be subject to substantial supervision and regulation, including conservative capital requirements, conservative margin requirements and strong business conduct standards," Geithner said in comments that acknowledged there were few limits in the past.
OTC derivatives are complex instruments whose value is based on an underlying asset. The sector peaked at a face value of $700 trillion in 2008. Analysts say OTC derivatives amplified last fall's economic slump, partly because some firms invested too heavily and cash reserves were far too small.
In the United States, four big banks control more than 90 percent of derivatives markets: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.
Geithner said the existing system allowed some financial institutions to sell large amounts of derivatives, which are intended to offset or manage risk, even without the capital to back those commitments.
Under the administration's plan, all OTC derivatives and dealers would be subject to regulation. "Standardized" OTC derivatives would go through clearinghouses at regulated exchanges to reduce the risk of default. Trading in customized contracts would have to be reported and obey capital and margin requirements.
"We will propose a broad definition of 'standardized' OTC derivatives that will be capable of evolving with the markets and will be designed to be difficult to evade," said Geithner.
The CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission would write the details and police against sham customized contracts.
Geithner said the SEC and CFTC "have made great progress" in deciding who will oversee which parts of the OTC market. The administration intends to propose a bill to spell out the allocation, he said.
Private meetings between regulators and the leaders of the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees indicate an accord is near on OTC regulation, said Collin Peterson, the Agriculture chairman.
"We think we're actually 90-95 percent in agreement on everything," Peterson told reporters.
Financial Services oversees banks and the stock market while Agriculture has control of the CFTC and futures markets.
"There are no fights to cover between these committees," said Financial Services chairman Barney Frank during the three-hour hearing with Geithner.
In its proposal on investor protection, the administration would give the SEC authority to set consistent fiduciary standards for broker dealers and could ban bonuses or other compensation that would encourage financial intermediaries to steer investors into products that are not in their best interest.
It also would give the SEC authority to require delivery of prospectuses before investors put money into mutual funds. The SEC also could create a fund to pay whistleblowers.

Q: Alternatives for extra containers in a flexbox grid I have two .flex-container with 3 .box children that I want to set up differently. See my snippet for a visual and my solution.
The first is easy as I can set the first box to be width: 100%; and then just use flex-wrap: wrap;. Good to go.
For the second .flex-container I found I had to add an extra container .box-container around the last two boxes and then give it flex: auto; to get the desired effect.
My question is do I need this extra container .box-container? If the answer is yes, so be it. I feel like I am missing something fundamental, but I'm thinking it could require it because these layouts aren't height-based and I guess it's vertically oriented? I tried using flex-direction: column; in different ways.
Any solution using flexbox and no extra containers, like the first layout I presented, would be much appreciated. Thank you.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

section {
  display: flex;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.flex-container-1 {

  border: 3px solid seagreen;
  background-color: mediumseagreen;

A: Flex Layout
You cannot make flex items wrap under other items in the same row. That's just not how flexbox works, which is along horizontal and vertical lines. So to stack two items next to one in the same "row", you'll need a bit of CSS or HTML trickery.
You can either:

*

*Define a height on the container. This will enable you to use flex-flow: column wrap to stack items 2 and 3 next to item 1 as two equal height columns, otherwise...

*Use a nested container. This will allow you to wrap items 2 and 3 in one item which can become a sibling of item 1, and both columns can have equal height.
These concepts and their limitations are further explained in my answer here:

*

*Is it possible for flex items to align tightly to the items above them?

Grid Layout
Because CSS Grid Layout is now supported by most major browsers, and because your layout objective is simple with this new technology, and because with Grid Layout you'll never need to wrap items in nested containers or set a fixed height on the main container, I've posted an answer below:

article {
  display: grid;                            /* 1 */
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);    /* 2 */
}

section:nth-child(1) {
  grid-row: 1 / 3;                          /* 3 */
}

/* non-essential decorative styles */

article {
  padding: 10px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  border: 3px solid firebrick;
  background-color: indianred;
}
section {
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #fff;
  font-size: 40px;
  color: #fff;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Notes:

*

*Establish block-level grid container. (spec reference)

*Instruct the grid to create two equal width columns. 1fr represents a proportion of free space. It's similar to flex-grow: 1. (spec reference)

*Instruct the first item to span two rows (i.e., from grid row line 1 to grid row line 3, which covers two grid tracks). (spec reference)

Browser Support for CSS Grid

*

*Chrome - full support as of March 8, 2017 (version 57)

*Firefox - full support as of March 6, 2017 (version 52)

*Safari - full support as of March 26, 2017 (version 10.1)

*Edge - full support as of October 16, 2017 (version 16)

*IE11 - no support for current spec; supports obsolete version

Here's the complete picture: http://caniuse.com/#search=grid

A: Yes. Unless I use a fixed height on the container.

In this second part of the series about ITER (see first here), we start giving a more detailed description of the ITER machine. Then, we address some important challenges that have been identified for each of its parts and scientists' plans to solve them.
After all, the core of a nuclear plant is a very complex machine for heating water. Once we have water steam, the parts in charge of producing electricity are not much different than in many other electric plants.
The heart of the ITER machine is the chamber, or vessel, where nuclear fusion occurs. Among a few possibilities, ITER decided to follow the design named Tokamak, a Russian acronym for "toroidal chamber with magnetic coils".
The Vacuum Vessel (VV): this empty, toroidal chamber is where plasma is confined.
Magnets: Superconducting electromagnets provide the magnetic fields required to keep the plasma rotating inside the vessel without touching its inner walls. An extra set of magnets (not visible in the figure) had to be added to the design in a posterior stage to stabilize the plasma, as we will see later.
Cryostat: The tokamak will be enclosed in a cryostat that isolates the inner hot parts from the superconducting magnets, which are cryogenically cooled.
The so-called "first wall": this is the part of the chamber that will be more closely exposed to the hot plasma and to the strong flux of hot neutrons.
Heaters: They provide the energy required to start nuclear fusion in the plasma.
Monitoring sensors: Mechanical stress, temperature, vibrations, etc. are to be closely watched during operation.

Nuclear fusion occurs at the plasma, whose purity must be assured in order to achieve self-sustained reaction. This implies keeping it away from the surrounding walls of the vessel in a well-defined volume in space. In other words: it must be kept floating around in the middle of the chamber. That is the so-called confinement problem.
Confining a material which is at millions of degrees of temperature is not a minor issue. As the reader surely knows, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of each particle. Thus, extremely hot plasmas imply particles moving at random directions at huge velocities.
To keep particles confined in a small volume we can take a long rectilinear magnet and blend it to form a toroidal magnetic field, which is one of the two main fields that will operate in ITER. Basically, it is generated by a set of circular magnets surrounding the torus.
Practice, however, has taught nuclear physicists that this field on its own is not enough to keep losses as low as desired. Ideally, field lines should be helicoidal around the torus, which is achieved by means of an additional set of magnets producing a field perpendicular to the toroidal one. This poloidal field is not generated by any external magnet: instead,a strong current (15 millions Amperes) is induced into the hot plasma in the torus longitudinal direction. After all, plasma behaves as an electrical conductor due to the free electrons that float around.

According to the design plans 1, 80,000 km of superconducting cables (Nb3Sn) are required to wire up the 18 toroidal magnets, the central solenoid in charge of inducing the current into the plasma and a number of other auxiliary magnets to fine tuning the magnetic field. In comparison, the LHC at CERN has "toy magnets", with "only" 7,600 km of superconductors!

With an overall of 48 magnets, the generation of the magnetic fields of up to 11.8 Teslas (200,000 times the Earth field) represents the biggest part of the machine, accounting for 6540 tons. From the mechanical point of view, the toroidal field magnets are particularly challenging due to the mechanical stress conditions they must face: the interaction of these magnets with the fields generated by the plasma current and other magnets will lead to strong pulsed toroidal forces, which obviously suggests that fatigue may degrade the magnet structure over time. In order to resist to these induced forces, rings of glass fibres are to surround each magnet with an inward radial force equivalent to the pressure of 6,000 tons.
Although only tiny amounts of Deuterium and Tritrium, about 0.5 grams, form the mix that will fuel nuclear fusion in the plasma inside the Tokamak, huge amounts of heat are generated in the reaction, with 80% of the energy escaping the plasma as hot (fast) neutrons. Since neutrons have no electric charge there is no magnet capable of directing them to some predefined location, which becomes a headache for nuclear engineers: the entire first wall of the toroidal vessel will suffer an intense bombing of hot neutrons.
Thus, plasma-facing components must meet two design criteria: (i) be rough enough to resist the radiation during long periods of time (months to years), and (ii) also be able to evacuate heat. It is that heat, recovered via water refrigerating circuits, what ultimately generates the electric power. Just for comparison, the Sun surface emits 70 MW/m2, while state of the art tokamaks present only seven times less power density (10 MW/m2) 2.
Figure 9. Each of the modules of the vessel walls. Credit: International Atomic Energy Agency. "ITER Technical basis", Vienna, 2002.
In ITER, the first wall material has been selected to be a 1cm thick layer of Beryllium, for its optimal properties in resisting becoming radioactive when facing the neutron flux. Behind that, another 1cm layer of copper will redistribute the heat load as uniformly as possible, for the third layer of solid steel (30cm) to transfer the heat to circulating water. In order to make the wall modular and maintainable, it will be divided into 421 modules, each with 1 ton of steel.
As we saw, controlling the plasma inside a Tokamak requires strong and carefully engineered magnetic fields. Even with those fields, part of the plasma escapes; so, you can imagine how much scientists struggle to keep it as located in space as possible. Luckily, there is something called "high confinement" mode (H-mode). It was discovered by pure chance, without nobody expecting it. During an experiment in 1982 at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Fritz Wagner observed a sudden change in the behavior of plasma as it was heated inside a Tokamak: at some point, the plasma losses abruptly dropped and turbulences at the plasma edges practically disappeared. He just discovered the transition from L-mode (low confinement ) to H-mode, probably the most relevant single advancement in the history of fusion reactors. Even nowadays, physicists do not fully understand yet the mechanisms that allow this sort of "phase change", so performing numerical simulation of this behavior is still in the limits of the state-of-the-art.
As usual in Nature, there was a price to pay for a more stable way of confining plasma: a new type of quasiperiodic instability appeared. Just like the Sun has solar flares, sometimes the H-mode plasma abruptly has "storms" amid the calm.
They are named ELM (Edge Localized Mode), and are instabilities at the plasma frontiers. With each ELM, the surface of the vessel must face a sudden increase of the temperature of thousands of degrees. Scientists expect to see thousands of ELMs at ITER, and it was found 3 that ELMs are more damaging than originally though. To cope with this potentially dangerous effect, ITER design was changed to include additional coils that will attempt to control ELMs.
ELMs have been a headache for the all the agencies involved in ITER design: the new electromagnetic coils will be very close to the inner wall, thus must robustly resists large thermal expansions due to the high temperatures, while ensuring a 20-years reliability. On the bright side, extra coils will provide more degrees of freedom in the design of the vertical magnetic fields. The final ITER design now includes the new ELM coils shown in the figure below.
Figure 11. A cross section of the tokamak wall, with the new ELM coils in green | Credit: Ioki, K., V. Barabash, C. Bachmann, P. Chappuis, C. H. Choi, J-J. Cordier, B. Giraud et al. "ITER vacuum vessel design and construction." Fusion Engineering and Design 85, no. 7 (2010): 1307-1313.
Apart from those coils, nuclear engineers found another way to calm down ELM instabilities. The "snowball in hell" technique consists of throwing a small pellet of cold fuel directly into the plasma. Rude as it may look, it produces a minor instability which, somehow, prevents the much larger ELMs.
In the words of the scientists, it may be seen as a way of "burping the baby" to prevent greater risks. Alberto Loarte Prieto, a Spanish physicist now working in Germany, gives more details on ELMs in the following video.

Popular gay bar named for the old-fashioned telephones at each of the booths, which give you a hotline to whoever you fancy at the neighbouring table.
Popular gay bar named for the old-fashioned telephones at each of the booths, which give you a hotline to whoever you fancy at the neighbouring table. Might sound cheesy but its cooler than you think, with a simple minimalist design that keeps scene locals and interested tourists more than happy. This place has been around since 1987, making it one of the city's oldest gay bars and possibly the most famous. And after more than 25 years it's still going strong. It's split over two levels with several separate bars, a restaurant and a karaoke lounge, complete with three huge video screens and more than 6000 Thai and English song choices, so there's no excuse for not joining in. It gets ultra loud at weekends but the crowd is relaxed and not too posey and those telephones quickly break the ice and get the punters mingling happily. If it all gets a bit much inside, you can head out to the patio for a spot of people watching this is the heart of Bangkok's gay district, so you're certain to get an eyeful. The staff are friendly too, always up for a giggle and a bit of fun flirting, and if Telephone becomes a regular haunt they'll soon be greeting you like an old friend and pouring you your favourite drink as you walk in the door. We mostly like it for the jugs of powerful frozen margaritas and plates of tasty Thai snacks, Western dishes are also available and food is served right through to 1am.

In the last two weeks the respective chamionships that we have been majorly involved in this year have had their end of season prize givings and our customers featured in all 3 of the biggest championships in the UK.
After being runner up in the 2013 Reis Tarmac Rally Championship, Paul Bird set his sights on the BTRDA gravel championship for this year with his Cockspur Rum and Frank Bird Poultry backed Ford Focus WRC. A very strong season saw him finish on the same points as the championship winner but lose the championship due to a tie-break. Co-driver Aled Davies did however seal the Co-Drivers championship. They ended with 3 wins in the championship, 2 second places and 1 third place. A broken driveshaft causing him to retire on one rally. Paul enters Rally Barbados every year and was going for his 3rd win in as many years so missed out on 2 events in the championship. Unfortunately he didnt manage to seal the 3rd Rally Barbados victory. Whilst leading quite comfortably the team clipped a rock on the inside of a corner and caused too much suspension damage to continue.
John Stone has had a very successful year in his Legend Fires shod Skoda Fabia WRC. Entering the Reis Tarmac Rally Championship as he has done for a few years now he started the year very consistantly with 2 fourth place finishes and a fifth place before stepping up the pace and claiming second on the Irish stages of the ALMC Rally in Dublin. Another fourth place on the ranges in Otterburn saw his year championship prospects looking very strong. He and co-driver Carl Williamson missed round 6 at Mewla but were back on the podium in Wexford claiming third. The Legend Fires team headed to the Cheviot Keith Knox Rally, the final round of the year with no chance of winning the championship but needing just to finish 4th to secure second in the championship. Having had 100% finishing record with the car so far in the year John was confident the car would make the finish so drove a sensible and consistent rally finishing 3rd to ensure that he did finish the year with a very good 2nd overall in the championship.We have had cars in the Scottish Championship for many years now and this year was no different. Dale Robertson took his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 to all but one round. Despite a hard beginning to the season where he found himself slightly off the pace he had expected to be on he proved that as long as you are finishing rallies you are still in the hunt for the championship. Missing round four due to having a wedding to attend. He returned to the rally scene and was on a completely different level. Setting consistant top 5 stage times and claiming a few class wins he found himself needing to win Group N on the last round to seal the championship. He did that therefore he and Tranent co-driver Paul McGuire were Scottish Group N Champions for 2014. Just like John's Skoda, Dale had a 100% finishing record with the car on the SRC.
Also in the SRC Kieran Renton with his Keith Renton Joinery backed Fiesta R2 had a good year. Entering the first few rallies in the R2 before we carried out the upgrade of the car to the R200 class. Setting some very good times throughout the year with Dave Robson in the co-driver seat using all his experience to help Kieran improve on every rally. His season ended with him 3rd in class 4 and 19th in the Scottish Championship and just missing out on the podium in the Clubman 2WD section of the SRC finishing fourth in that.
Last year the Scottish Rally Championship was won by David Bogie in a 2002 specification Ford Focus WRC. His Focus' engine was built buy ourselves in house. For the second year running now we have now built the engines of the Scottish Championship as we also built this years winner Euan Thorburn's similar Ford Focus WRC engine.
2014 has been another successful year for us and we are looking forward to 2015 already with major rebuilds and checks being carried out on customers cars.

Primary school assessment in Scotland explained
The Scottish National Standardised Assessments are online standardised assessments in literacy and numeracy completed by children in Scotland in P1, P4, P7 and S3. We explain what parents need to know about the SNSAs.
In September 2015, the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, announced plans for compulsory tests to be introduced in all Scottish primary schools, for the first time in more than a decade. Since 2017 children in Scotland have completed Scottish National Standardised Assessments (SNSAs) in literacy and numeracy in P1, P4, P7 and S3.
Primary school assessment in Scotland until 2017
Between 2003 and 2017 there was no compulsory national testing for primary school pupils in Scotland. It was scrapped by the then Labour-Lib Dem coalition, in an attempt to get rid of the 'teaching to the test' ethos in schools and reduce the obsession with league tables. Instead, attainment in Scottish schools was measured by the Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy, a procedure that involved a random sample of children in P4 and P7 (and S2) at every mainstream school, who completed the tasks in class time during the month of May. Literacy and numeracy were tested in alternate years, and individual children's results were not published; the results are simply used to give an overall picture of attainment across the country.
Teacher assessment were also be carried out using InCAS testing.
Announcing the new testing regime, Nicola Sturgeon said that improving the education of children in Scotland was, 'arguably the most important objective' for her government. The intention was that national testing would give a clearer picture of performance in Scottish and primary schools, ultimately helping to drive up attainment and narrow the gap between children in well-off and deprived areas.
Unsurprisingly, the plans to introduce national primary tests in Scotland had a mixed response. Critics said that the result will be that schools focus on preparing for the exams, rather than teaching a broad curriculum, and that the tests will put pressure on children and reignite the obsession with league tables. However, there are also no plans for the Scottish government to publish league tables based on test results, although it's likely that these will be compiled by independent agencies.
Which pupils take SNSAs?
Every child in P1, P4 and P7 takes the statutory tests. Senior school pupils in S3 are also tested.
When and how do the SNSAs take place?
Children take the assessments once during the school year. There is no set timetable and the assessments do not have to take place at a specific time of year: individual teachers and schools, decide when they will happen for each class and school.
P1 children take two SNSA assessments: one in literacy and one in numeracy.
P4 children take three SNSA assessments: one in reading, one in writing and one in numeracy.
S3 students take three SNSA assessments: one in reading, one in writing and one in numeracy.
Children do not take the reading, writing and numeracy assessments all in one sitting.
The assessments are completed online and are marked automatically. There is no pass mark and the assessments cannot be 'failed'.
Each assessment has between 30 and 41 questions, depending on the year group and subject. The computerised assessment system is adaptive: if a child is finding the questions difficult the questions will get easier, and if a child is doing well, the questions will become more challenging.
The assessments are as short as possible and designed to be completed in around 45 minutes, but there is no time limit.
Do children need to prepare for the SNSA assessments?
Children do not have to revise for the assessments, which are used to help teachers understand how well children are progressing and to plan teaching.
How are the results used?
Scottish National Standardised Assessments data provides information to your child's teacher, which they may choose to share with teacher who will be teaching them in the following year. Children won't be given the results of their assessments but the results will form part of a teacher's complete assessment of a child and be mentioned in parent-teacher meetings.
At a local and national level the SNSA data aims to offer a complete and consistent picture of children's academic progress in Scottish schools. School level data will be available to teachers and local authorities; the Scottish Government will have access to national level data only.
SNSA results will not be published in 'league tables'.

Election rant 4: roll-out sloth
The Coalition says it can connect the country faster and better than Labor, but 69 per cent of its committed telecoms upgrade funds will only be spent AFTER Abbott is re-elected in 2014.
Written by David Braue, Contributor on Aug. 16, 2010
In making its argument to discontinue Labor's NBN and pursue its alternate, slimmed-down policy, the Coalition has gone to great lengths to suggest that its policy (PDF) will be not only cheaper, but deliver outcomes sooner than Labor's.
That suggestion quickly goes up in flames when a candle is held up to it: in reality, the Coalition's plan will take nearly as long as Labor's before it is complete, with a stated 2016 completion date and a pattern of funding that suggests this deadline is hugely optimistic. And, with most of the Coalition's expenditure to be made later rather than sooner, it will be years under a coalition government before most Australians see any change in their broadband services at all.
The Outback may start here, but broadband won't get anywhere near here — or much of anywhere else — for years under the Coalition's current plan. (Yalgoo Shire image by Gnangarra, CC BY-SA 3.0)
Consider the Fixed Broadband Optimisation program, a $750 million commitment that will be split with $200 million in the Coalition's promised alternative 2010/11 budget and $350 million the next year — and then nothing for two years, with a further $100 million allocated in each of 2014/15 and 2015/16. While this funding might address some key blackspots by helping customers on a RIM get ADSL in coming years, most others will struggle along with whatever they have for half a decade. And that's just so they can get DSL services that may struggle to even deliver the 12Mbps baseline speeds the Coalition has promised.
Wireless networks, which form the key equaliser in the Coalition's policy, suffer an equally anaemic funding strategy. Construction of those networks in rural areas will receive just $200 million in 2011/12, $175 million in each of the next two years, and jump to just $200 million in 2014/15 and $250 million in 2015/16.
Even if this were held to be adequate funding to set up wireless broadband across the continent, there is one significant obstacle: Tony Smith has already stated the government's policy is to "quarantine" the digital dividend to get spectrum in which to operate above-mentioned wireless services. The Coalition has recognised this delay by deferring its $1 billion in metro-area wireless spend (which could see a wireless tower on every street) until 2013 to 2016, yet it is still planning to spend $550 million on wireless services in rural areas by 2014, which is the earliest that the digital dividend spectrum may be available.
Smith believes telcos will start investing in wireless services when there is no backhaul available apart from Telstra's? This hasn't happened for years, and I doubt even the most cashed-up operator is going to start spending on actual kit based solely on the cheque's-in-the-mail promise of decent backhaul some time down the line.
The question, then, is: on what will this funding be spent in the meantime? Subsidising private carriers' 3G wireless would seem to be the only option, unless Smith believes telcos will follow the digital TV switch-offs around the country and progressively start building wireless towers in their wake.
Actually, that may be exactly what Smith is counting on; the Coalition has been adamant that it wants the private sector to pull its own weight. Smith made this very clear with a hugely optimistic comment during his now-infamous policy launch speech: "For companies who would engage in wireless, they will have the confidence to start offering services knowing that backhaul is coming".
Based on what we know so far, any telco that did make that jump would be waiting for a long time until the backhoes got there. Smith made derogatory comments at the policy launch about the Nextgen Networks-driven backhaul project being only one-sixth complete and having already eaten up $250 million in funding, but the Coalition's Competitive National Fibre Optic Backhaul (CNFOB) plan isn't any better.
CNFOB will get no funding at all until 2012/2013, when it will get a paltry $50 million, and 2013-2014, when it will get an additional $100 million. In other words, by mid-2014, the Coalition will have spent only around half as much on backhaul as Labor spent in the last 12 months. Much of this will no doubt go to finish paying Nextgen for its work to date, with the Coalition cruising along on the momentum of that project for now. The bulk of CNFOB funding, $2.6 billion of the $2.75 billion total expenditure, won't be spent until 2014 through 2017.
By mid-2014, the Coalition will have spent only around half as much on backhaul as Labor spent in the last 12 months. The bulk of funding, $2.6 billion of the $2.75 billion total expenditure, won't be spent until 2014 through 2017.
That's a pretty lightweight spending plan for a party that has publicly stated the biggest obstacle facing Australian telecommunications today is access to competitive backhaul. To resolve that obstacle, the Coalition would spend just $150 million in its first term of government — only slightly more than it has committed to spend on its cyber-safety package over four years, and about the same as it will invest in putting technology into schools.
Just so we have this clear: private-sector telcos are supposed to start investing in wireless services in rural areas now, but the Coalition won't actually bring them backhaul to connect it to until 2014. At the same time, the Coalition will spend $550 million of its own on wireless that wouldn't seem to have enough spectrum to support it and won't have the backhaul it needs either.
I'm reminded of the hilarious scene in Mr Bean's Holiday where Mr Bean is thumbing a ride by the side of a French road, spies an oncoming biker, and waits for many desperately impatient minutes until the biker arrives, putting along at walking speed. By the time the Coalition's backhaul gets to these areas, proactive telcos' cash-burning rural wireless operations — assuming there is even enough spectrum to enable them — will have collapsed under the weight of customer complaints about cost and performance.
Reliance on wireless to service small and remote areas, and its sloth in actually rolling out that wireless and the backhaul to support it, contradicts the Coalition's stated claims that the plan will get broadband where it's needed faster than Labor's plan.
Under current plans, 69 per cent of the Coalition's telecoms funding — $4.370bn out of $6.345bn total — will only actually end up being spent if a coalition government is elected now — and re-elected in 2014.
In reality, none of these areas will get much of any benefit for years. The Coalition's timetable is not so much a solution for Australia's telecoms woes, as the most insignificant of stopgap measures designed only to while away the time until the next election. Under current plans, 69 per cent of the Coalition's telecoms funding — $4.370 billion out of $6.345 billion total — will only actually end up being spent if a coalition government is elected now — and re-elected in 2014.
Rather than beating Labor to the punch, all this means is that the Coalition's plan would actually give Labor a four-year head start in the race to wire the bush. Based on Labor's stated eight-year timetable, the fibre NBN will be nearly halfway complete by the time any of the Coalition's wireless actually comes online — and that is only by commandeering 4G spectrum that would otherwise be sold off to private-sector carriers to build their own 4G networks.
It's also important to remember that the Coalition has stated that it will not do anything at all, whatsoever, no-siree, until NBN Co has completed an exhaustive business plan for the roll-out. Knowing government bodies, delivery of this business plan — and decisions by a coalition government on how to proceed — is likely to take months, and months more until contracts are awarded.
Meanwhile, Labor has this week started building the NBN on the mainland, and will no doubt ramp up construction dramatically if it's re-elected. This development can lead to only one conclusion: the supposed rapidity of the Coalition's plan is nothing but a smokescreen, designed to appeal to fiscal conservatives rather than the technologically aware. If rural residents want any hope of getting usable broadband before 2015, the Coalition's option is no option at all.
This is part of a series of seven election rants, one for each deadly sin, aired each business day until the big day. Renai LeMay is writing a reply to each of the rants, playing devil's advocate.

GARDENJIA "EPO" ALBUM REVIEW
Posted By The Circle Pit on November 8, 2013. Under Progressive Metal, Reviews
Gardenjia is a newer face emerging from the blooming Italian metal underground. Through a unique progressive approach and a committed drive, they have been pushing their music since 2011. First off with the self-produced EP "IEVADS" and again with the release of the album "EPO" in 2012. That album was then released a second time via Memorial Records in May of this year. While listening, it's evident these musicians are looking to push conventional boundaries in what they do. And they succeed in a number of ways.
Every once and awhile an album will come out with the ability to create a world of it's own in the mind of the listener (depending on the listener, mind you). Not individual ideas spinning off track by track, but a thematically unified world of music and soundscapes. Similar genre examples would be Meshuggah's "obZen", Uneven Structure's "Februus", Animals As Leaders "Weightless", and another Italian album I've been listening to this week – Human Improvement Process – "Deafening Dissonant Millennium" (okay, that's death metal but I wanted to include it). I would put Gardenjia in this category as well. As soon as you click play, the atmosphere reaches out and fills your world with another. It may strike you as a cold, darkened, dystopian realm where buildings have crumbled and ancient magic roams or some such province.
Musically, this album is very well conceived. The instrumental corps know their strong points and they execute them well. Essentially, the musical elements are derivative but the band manages to make them their own in a very unique, out of the box kinda way. Certain moments may be lackluster, but "EPO" packs it's fair sure of "holy shit!" moments. These musicians will surprise you with the sheer amount of creative force they can pull at times.
Vocally, I have to say the delivery on this album is sub-par. The singing is very one-dimensional, bringing a tired vocal effect with mounted pitch correction track after track. No real technical ability is shown as the clean vocals sound mostly synthetic, even annoying at times. Only the softly sung vocals on this album sound okay. The harsh, screamed vocals are a redeeming factor. While not the greatest, they provide an interesting, somewhat off-kiltered hardcore vibe. Interestingly enough, the singer Raffaele Galasso also covers guitars, bass, synths, mixing and mastering. All of those things he does well.
As an overall package, the album gets by as a good record. "EPO" delivers several noteworthy tracks in it's arsenal. Stand outs include "In Dusk" (Awesome sax solo and some. Don't think I mentioned this band brings the sax \m/), "Shapes of Greys", the title track "EPO", and the newly added "Epica" and "Ascension" (a welcome sign of the band's progression).
In case if you haven't noticed, a few flaws do plague this otherwise good album. First and foremost, as I mentioned, the vocals need fixed one way or another. Next up, the production is good in that it succeeds on delivering the overall sound, but could use a facelift on some fronts. And lastly, the instruments feel too synthetic at times (albeit the drums actually are). I could easily see myself giving this album anywhere from an 8 to a 9 out of 10 if these flaws were fixed. As it is, I was very close to giving a 7 out of 10 before my last listen but couldn't justify it with the vocals.
When you add up all the factors, I do see a lot of potential here. That's why I opted to do this review in the first place. As a musical unit, every member of Gardenjia brings something special to the table and it shows. They just need to mature and learn to capitalize on it. It's quite possible we'll end up seeing this band doing some really impressive and creative things in the future. I believe in these guys. But for now, consider "EPO" the appetizer to future greatness. Eat up!

Der Fälscher von London, ein Kriminalfilm von Regisseur Harald Reinl, ist der achte deutsche Edgar-Wallace-Film der Nachkriegszeit. Die von Rialto Film produzierte Verfilmung des Wallace-Romans Der Banknotenfälscher (Originaltitel: The Forger) wurde vom 2. Mai bis 6. Juni 1961 in Nordrhein-Westfalen und Hamburg gedreht. Die Uraufführung fand am 15. August 1961 im Neuen Bavaria-Theater in Aachen statt.

Handlung

Der gerade verheiratete Millionenerbe Peter Clifton verbringt seine Flitterwochen mit Jane auf Longford Manor. Als Jane ihren Mann nachts hinter einer Geheimtür an einer Druckerpresse entdeckt, glaubt sie, es handle sich um den seit langem gesuchten "Fälscher von London", einen notorischen wie genialen Fälscher von 5-Pfundnoten.

Janes alter Verehrer Basil Hale diskreditiert Clifton zudem mit geheimnisvollen Andeutungen über dessen Vergangenheit. Nach einer heftigen Auseinandersetzung mit Clifton wird Hale am nächsten Tag im Schlosspark erschlagen aufgefunden. Jane findet ihren verletzten, nicht ansprechbaren Mann und beseitigt alle Spuren sowie die vermeintliche Mordwaffe.

Inspektor Rouper sieht Cliftons Schuld als erwiesen an, nicht aber der bedächtige Oberinspektor Bourke. Als Radlow, der Rechtsanwalt und Testamentsvollstrecker von Peter Clifton, Bourke zu sich bittet, findet dieser bei seinem Eintreffen den Rechtsanwalt erstochen im Arbeitszimmer vor. Im Garten liegt der bewusstlose Clifton, daneben ein blutbeflecktes Stilett.

Trotz der scheinbar eindeutigen Beweislage sucht Bourke Cliftons Hausarzt Dr. Wells auf. Dieser gesteht, Clifton mit Spritzen betäubt zu haben, um ihm die Morde anzulasten. Bourke überführt auch seinen Amtskollegen Rouper als Mittäter und lässt ihn verhaften. Und Clifton erfährt von Bourke, dass sein Vater ein anderer ist als der, den er bisher dafür gehalten hat. Mrs. Unterson, die Mutter von Basil Hale, erschießt auf der Suche nach Clifton, dem vermeintlichen Mörder ihres Sohnes, Dr. Wells. Als "Fälscher von London" wird schließlich der biedere Kunstmaler John Leith entlarvt und schließlich auch gefasst.

Entstehungsgeschichte

Die bisherigen Edgar-Wallace-Filme der Rialto Film erwiesen sich als außergewöhnlich erfolgreich, während zahlreiche andere Filmproduzenten bereits die Folgen sinkender Zuschauerzahlen seit Einführung des Fernsehens spürten. Horst Wendlandt, seit 1961 neben Preben Philipsen Mitgesellschafter bei Rialto Film, gewann durch seinen Erfolg zunehmend an Einfluss auf die Wallace-Produktionen. Bei Constantin Film standen ihm mit Waldfried Barthel und Gerhard F. Hummel kompetente Geschäftspartner und Berater zur Seite.

Diese einigten sich mit Wendlandt für die Planung der Kinosaison 1961/62 abermals auf die Produktion von vier Edgar-Wallace-Adaptionen: Der Banknotenfälscher (Der Fälscher von London), Die seltsame Gräfin, Die Tür mit den sieben Schlössern sowie Gangster in London (Das Rätsel der roten Orchidee). Für die Adaption des Romans Der Banknotenfälscher konnte Constantin Film den Schriftsteller Johannes Kai gewinnen. Sein Drehbuch wurde praktisch unverändert übernommen, der Filmtitel wurde in Der Fälscher von London geändert. Harald Reinl, der bereits als Regisseur der Edgar-Wallace-Filme Die toten Augen von London und Das Geheimnis der gelben Narzissen als Regisseur vorgesehen war, übernahm die Regie.

Zum dritten Mal in einem Wallace-Film spielte Reinls damalige Ehefrau Karin Dor. Aus dem etablierten Wallace-Ensemble waren außerdem Siegfried Lowitz, Ulrich Beiger und Eddi Arent zu sehen. Gastauftritte hatten Viktor de Kowa, Mady Rahl, Robert Graf und Walter Rilla. Die männliche Hauptrolle übernahm Hellmut Lange, der damals noch kaum bekannt war. Dies erlaubte dem Publikum, möglichst unbefangen auf dessen zwielichtigen Rollencharakter zu reagieren.

Die Außenaufnahmen drehte man unter anderem in der Hamburger Speicherstadt, an der Elbchaussee sowie auf Schloss Herdringen im Sauerland. Dort entstanden zudem einige Innenszenen (Esszimmer, Peters Schlafzimmer, Korridor). Das Gros der Innenaufnahmen entstand in den Kulissen des Realfilm-Studios in Hamburg-Wandsbek. Die London-Aufnahmen stammten aus dem Archiv. Zu Beginn der Dreharbeiten waren die Aufnahmen für die vorherige Wallace-Verfilmung Das Geheimnis der gelben Narzissen noch nicht abgeschlossen. Martin Böttcher komponierte erstmals die Filmmusik zu einem Edgar-Wallace-Film. Insgesamt stammen fünf Soundtracks der Serie von dem erfolgreichen Filmkomponisten. Der Film wurde von der FSK ohne Schnittauflagen ab 16 Jahren freigegeben, 1991 folgte die Freigabe ab 12 Jahren.

Besonderheit
In der ersten Szene beim Pferderennen sind Archiv-Aufnahmen von der Queen Elisabeth II. zu sehen, die von der Rennbahn Ascot stammen, und in der letzten Szene sind Archiv-Aufnahmen vom Endspiel
des Europapokals der Landesmeister zu sehen, wieder mit einer kurzen Einblendung von Queen Elisabeth II. mit Gatte Prinz Philip. Beide Aufnahmen wurden in die Handlung des Filmes eingefügt.

Goofs
Die Scotland-Yard-Beamten tragen Polizeiuniformen der 1960er Jahre, aber Helme mit dem Emblem König Georges VI., obwohl 1961 dessen Tochter Elizabeth II. schon acht Jahre Königin war.

There is, in passages here and there, a great rattling noise in Scripture, trembling and fear, foreboding predictions of the end of all things and the judgment of the world. Such a time is at hand. There is a time for every purpose under heaven, a time to be born and a time to die. Do we consider the frailty of human life and human history as we ought? Do we contemplate our end? Are we waiting and watching? A religion that does not speak of death, that does not face it and name it, leads astray.
"There shall be a time of anguish," says the prophet, "such as has never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Dan. 12:1-2). Scripture encourages, it strengthens, and it teaches, but it also warns. "Thou only art immortal, the creator and maker of mankind; and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and unto earth shall we return" (1979 BCP, Burial I, p. 482).
Material life and material things, however precious, fail eventually. "As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, 'Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!' Then Jesus asked him, 'Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down'" (Mark 13:1-2). Jesus speaks of wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes in various places. The shaking of the foundations he calls "the beginning of the birth pangs." This bracing announcement Scripture regards, though we may not initially, as Good News. It startles us to hear the most obvious thing, the mutability and frailty of life, a mortal end in dust and ashes. Indeed, we tell ourselves that we have forever, years and years, time to waste and squander. And so, as often happens, life is lived without attention, without awareness, and without purpose.
If the mortal end of human life is held in view, God's eternity, immutability, everlasting essence, and attributes break through the fog of common human lethargy. Sometimes crisis gives clarity. "Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you'" (Ps. 16:1-2). There is no good, no refuge, no hope apart from God, because he alone is from everlasting to everlasting. Almighty God is the source of all things, the continuing strength in all things, the guiding hand in all things, and the promise of everlasting life to everyone whose name is written in the book. You, O God, hold my lot (Ps. 16:5).
Our mortal lives exhaust themselves. We can face this truth because God is our everlasting hope and peace and rest. Face your end by facing God.
This may be read as a sad description of many parish churches. Churches die and close. Take refuge in God alone.

THREE-OH-OH!
By Mike Handley
Kansas yielded its second-ever, 300-inch whitetail during the 2018 season, the first actually felled by a hunter. (The other, a victim to EHD, was found dead in 2012.)
Several hunters were reportedly drooling over the buck when it was alive, but none were more serious about taking it home than Arkansas brothers Mark and Rob Watson.
Though they hunt the same properties, the Watsons don't usually target the same bucks. Last year, however, they came to a pact.
Since trail camera photographs clearly indicated the massive whitetail favored one spot, the custom-built stand overlooking it – Rob's – became the go-to vantage point. If Rob couldn't hunt from it, Mark would.
The guys first became aware of the deer they nicknamed Christmas Tree in 2016. His visits were sporadic, at best, and they could not pattern him.
In 2017, so intent upon increasing their odds and time afield, the Watsons bought a home away from home in which they could stay while hunting. They also hung cellular trail cams attached to external batteries so they wouldn't have to go in and check the units.
Rob saw Christmas Tree that season, but he didn't get a shot.
For five weeks going into the 2018 season, Mark and Rob collected photos of Christmas Tree almost every day. They even saw the deer from the vehicle during one trip.
Mark hunted alone on Dec. 2. That evening, he saw a big, antsy 10-pointer on a nearby logging road. He wondered if it was ill at ease because of the much bigger buck in the vicinity.
The 5x5 spotted Mark in the blind from 15 yards, and that was more than enough to send it packing. Soon after it disappeared, a doe led Christmas Tree into chip-shot range for a .270.
He and Rob later chose to call it the Watson Brothers Buck.
The 31-pointer was measured 20 days later by three generations of experienced BTR scorers. Jack, Rusty and Russten Johnson pooled their considerable talents to tape the rack before a crowd of onlookers at a store in Springdale, Arkansas. Their tally: 300 3/8 inches.
Russten is writing the story that'll appear in Rack magazine, which will include more detail about the Sunflower State's No. 2 all-time whitetail. It's 20th in the world, overall, and the 16th-largest, hunter-bagged buck in the BTR.

Tesla Dips Below $150 – What's Happening?
Tesla's (NASDAQ:) stock price has continued to underperform the market in December after losing nearly 15% in November. The electric vehicle (EV) maker's shares are now on their way to closing lower for the fifth consecutive month, resulting in a 50%+ drop from their August high.
While Tesla Stock Plunges, Musk Conducts Another Twitter Poll
In a poll posted , Elon Musk asked his Twitter followers whether he should step down as head of Twitter, promising to abide by the results of the vote. Over 57% of users voted in favor of Elon Musk stepping down from Twitter's top role, while 43% wanted him to stay.
However, there was no word from the billionaire on whether he will actually act in accordance with the poll results and step down as head of the social media company. CNBC reported on Tuesday that Musk is "actively searching" for a person to replace him as Twitter CEO.
The poll came after a chaotic two months for Twitter under Musk's reign, characterized by rapidly changing policies and decisions.
It is safe to say that Tesla investors were likely among those who voted "Yes" after growing tired of seeing the carmaker's CEO getting distracted by his new social media platform. Tesla, which remains Musk's primary source of wealth, saw its share price drop nearly 60% since April, when the 51-year-old billionaire's intentions to acquire Twitter were made public.
The EV maker's market value stood at more than $1.1 trillion on April 1, the last trading day before Musk revealed he bought a stake in Twitter. Since then, Tesla's market value has plummeted by 58%, opening up a chance for rival carmakers to increase their market share.
"This has been a black eye moment for Musk and been a major overhang on Tesla's stock, which continues to suffer in a brutal way since the Twitter soap opera began," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said.
Ives believes Musk stepping down would bode well for Tesla's stock and indicate that the billionaire is "finally reading the room that has been growing frustrated around this Twitter nightmare," he added.
Too Much Focus on Twitter
Since purchasing Twitter for $44 billion two months ago, Musk has introduced a myriad of policy changes to the platform, some of which have raised concerns among advertisers and users. Further, he has reduced half of the company's workforce, let go of contract content moderators, and disbanded the board of trust and safety advisors.
The Tesla boss has also stopped enforcing coronavirus misinformation rules and requested criminal charges against Chief Medical Advisor and infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. Shortly prior to posting the poll, Musk announced a significant Twitter policy change that banned users from linking to other social media platforms such as Facebook (NASDAQ:), Instagram, Mastodon, and others.
But the tweets announcing the policy change, posted by Twitter's 'Support' account and the Twitter blog, were deleted with no further explanation on Monday. The move faced significant backlash and criticism, even from Musk's proponents. The new Twitter CEO said he would not make more policy changes to the social media platform without asking for users' opinions first.
All these headlines are creating an overhang for Tesla stock, with many long-term investors growing increasingly tired of Musk's antics.
"Where before EV buyers were proud to drive their Teslas to their friends or show off Teslas in their driveways, now the Twitter controversy is hurting Tesla's brand equity," Gary Black, managing partner of the Future Fund LLC, which owns roughly $50 million worth of Tesla, tweeted.
Moreover, the fact that Musk had to sell around 22 million more Tesla shares last week for roughly $3.6 billion to fund the Twitter buyout facilitated another selloff in the EV stock. The latest sale means Musk has offloaded a total of 94,202,321 Tesla shares in 2022 at an average price of $243.46 per share, with pretax proceeds amounting to about $22.93 billion. The move came several months after Musk said "no further TSLA sales" are planned after April 28.
"Musk's prior sales going back to November 2021 were expertly timed, so Tesla shareholders need to pay attention to Musk's actions and not his words – or lack thereof when it comes to his recent selling," said VerityData's director of research Ben Silverman.
Despite his April statement, the world's second-richest man sold Tesla shares several times after he bought Twitter. Following the takeover, Musk told employees he sold Tesla stock to "save" their business.
All This While Tesla Faces Weakening EV Demand
Earlier this month, Tesla cut car prices in the U.S., offering a $3,750 discount for Model 3 and Model Y vehicles sold during December. The move was in line with reports of weaker demand for new EVs in Tesla's home market, as many customers are still waiting for a higher tax credit included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
The federal legislation will provide customers with a $7,500 tax credit for electric cars built using battery materials sourced from the U.S. The price discounts are shown in the inventory available on Tesla's official website.
In spite of a meteoric rise since Tesla went public in June of 2010, the world's biggest electric car manufacturer is witnessing weaker demand in some of its biggest markets, including the U.S., China, the U.K., and Australia. Meanwhile, it is precisely such locations where the company's inventory continues to build up as more ships deliver Tesla cars as we head into 2023.
Tesla stock is still experiencing severe selling pressure in December as CEO Elon Musk's Twitter drama continues to play out. Tesla investors will now hope that Musk will fulfill his promise and abide by the results of the latest Twitter poll, which should see him hand over the CEO of Twitter role to someone else. This way, the billionaire could focus on Tesla again as the company faces weakening EV demand amid a complicated macroeconomic environment.
