While customization of icons of normal folders is supported by Windows (from the properties panel), things are not that easy with root folders of drives.
This method is recommended for removable drives. It may take some time, until Windows detects the change and refreshes the icon.
To customize an icon of a USB drive, create a file named autorun.inf in its root folder. Use Notepad to create that file. When saving the file, make sure that the file type is not set to text files. If it is, the .txt extension will be added to the given filename (and you'll end up with autorun.inf.txt, which would not work).
If you are using an .ico file, you need not specify the number. The number is only used if an icon from a .dll file (with more than 1 icon) is used.
The path to icon may be relative to the autorun.inf file. This is recommended if the icon is on a removable USB drive, which may be given a different letter on different computers.
This method allows you to change default drive icons on your computer. If a drive icon is customized using the autorun.inf file, the autorun.inf icon takes precedence.
Also, this method requires modification of Windows registry. If you unsure how to do it, it is not recommended to continue.
Start regedit.exe in Start menu (you need to type the name into the Run or Search field).
Create a new key and name it DriveIcons.
Under DriveIcons create a another key with the drive letter (for example C) and then create yet another key under the added letter and name it DefaultIcon.
You can also modify the default drive label by creating a DefaultLabel key and setting its default value to the requested label.
Reboot your computer after the change.

Southwest flight crew gives takeoff a 'Top Gun' theme
"You gotta get up there, Mav, they're moving in for a shot!" the flight attendant says in the video.
A Southwest Airlines crew member has a Top Gun-themed conversation with the pilot over the plane's intercom during takeoff. The German/YouTube video screenshot
HOUSTON, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A Southwest Airlines flight crew had some fun while taking off from Houston by playing music from the movie Top Gun and quoting the film over the intercom.
A video uploaded to YouTube by a passenger on the Saturday flight out of Houston features a flight attendant having a Top Gun-themed conversation with the pilot via the plane's intercom while the 1986 film's theme song, Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone," played for the passengers.
"You gotta get up there, Mav, they're moving in for a shot!" the flight attendant says, referencing Tom Cruise's character from the film, a pilot with the handle Maverick.
"Ok, ready Maverick? Do a barrel roll!" the attendant says, before comforting passengers who may have been fooled. "No, I'm just kidding. We're not going to do that to you guys."
Lion cub compensates for overbearing mother with adorable roar Lexus unveils Hoverboard with demonstration video Woman, 110, drank three Miller High Lifes a day for 70 years


I picked up an Ozone Access XT 2011 8m kite (in brand new condition - literally never flown) and have also found a Frenzy 11m which I am looking at getting too. One thing I would be quite keen to have is consistency in the bar/line configuration between all the kites (used to have this in my different scuba rigs which made things far more intuitive when switching over kit). The Access does not have a 5th line whereas the Frenzy does (Frenzy comes with the 'Contact' snow control bar with push away chicken loop release and flag out). So wondering, if I were to share the Contact bar (the one with 5th line capability) between these kites, what would I need to do to bridle-up the 5th like to the Access 8m? There are no central attachment points sewn into the Access to attach a 5th line natively, so wondered if I could add an extra bridle spanning the inner-most ABC attachment points of the regular bridal, or would I need to get additional ones sewn in. In either case, should this attach to the 3 leading-most points, or more towards the trailing edge - I'm guessing leading A, B, C points? I'm looking at this purely as a means for emergency flagout release, rather than changing the dynamics of the kite in any way. Any advice?

Bob became league convenor in 1964. In 1965, he took the bold step of splitting the Squirt League into Airplane and Rocket Leagues. This move proved to be quite successful. In the mid-70s, Bob introduced T-ball for 6- to 7-year-olds, and in 1984 he introduced the 5-pitch/Slow-pitch League for 7- to 8-year-olds, later to be called the Novice League.
Bob has been a player, coach, convenor, treasurer, and umpire for a number of ball and hockey teams and leagues in and around Norfolk.
Bob has been described as "a quiet, dedicated, hard worker." In 1984, he received a well-deserved award from the Ontario Softball Association for his outstanding contribution to minor softball and in 1987 he was awarded the Clarence Perkins Award for his great contribution to minor softball.

DISREGARD - see later post above (Benelli M4 or M1014 stock; legal question
By ipguy
September 20, 2004 in Benelli
ipguy
I realize that this issue is being touched on in other threads, but I would like to bring it to the forefront and see if we can get any official Benelli comments on it.
From my telephone conversations with Benelli, it's my understanding that the Benelli M4 (Part No. 11707) has been designated as a "law enforcement" model. It includes a pistol grip and non-collapsible stock, but I am unclear whether the stock is the standard stock or the "skeletonized" version.
During the AWB, that shotgun was available for civilian purchase, and it was in compliance (at that time) with the AWB, because it had a fixed magazine of less than 5 rounds and no collapsing stock. I also seem to recall that Benelli did not OFFER any collapsible stock to non-LE persons.
Now that the AWB has expired, there is no legal limitation on the number of rounds in the magazine, and there is no legal restriction (under the expired AWB) against having a collapsible stock. In speaking with a person at Benelli, I was told that a true collapsible stock (Part No. 70085) is now (as of last week) being made available to ANYONE who wishes to add such a feature to their M4.
In view of the Benelli shotguns being "imported" into the US, I understand that the 1989 import ban is now the primary legal impediment to certain modifications to Benelli shotguns, under the so-called "sporting purpose" tests employed by ATF. I also understand that such determinations are based largely upon the number of imported parts used on the gun. I believe that such provisions affected the M4, but also the M1 and the M3.
When I mentioned on another board that such a collapsible stock was being made available by Benelli, it was met with much skepticism, and some called this "B.S." What I would like to know from Benelli is simply this: What changed?
Here are some specific questions, in no particular order:
(1) Is the M4 somehow exempt from what would otherwise be a legal restriction against that shotgun having a collapsible stock? In other words, are there enough US-made components, or some other set of circumstances that avoids such issues?
(2)Benelli taking the position that it can sell a collapsible stock by itself to anyone, and it's entirely up to the end user to determine whether modified guns using that are legal

Firefox Tab Sets, What They Do
by Martin Brinkmann on August 14, 2010 in Firefox - Last Update: February 24, 2015 - 15 comments
You may have heard about a new feature called Tab Sets that has been integrated into the latest developer version of the Firefox web browser.
Tab Sets, as the developer call them, adds tab management capabilities to the web browser.
When you start Firefox for the first time, you will notice a new option in the right-click menu of the browser when hovering over a tab.
At the very top is a new entry, to "move this tab to" a tab set. Only the create new group option is accessible at this time. Nothing happens after selecting the option, which may confuse a lot of Firefox users who try the option for the first time.
The real magic happens in the Tab View window. This window can be accessed from a toolbar button and the View > Tab View menu (again at the very top).
tab sets
In theory, all open websites should be displayed in tab view. The display appears to be a bit buggy at the moment, as not all tabs were displayed during our tests, or at least not at immediately. Furthermore, the close tab set button did not work at this time, clicking on the close icon did nothing.
firefox tab sets
The visible websites are shown with thumbnail screenshots which can be moved around freely. It is for instance possible to move a website from one tab set to another, increase the size of a tab set to increase the size of the thumbnails, place tab sets over other tab sets and so on.
The tabs can be named in Tab View, for better identification purposes, and the option to add a new tab directly to one of the existing groups.
A click on a page in Tab View brings that tab set to the front with the selected page as the active tab. All other tabs are not shown in that view mode.
Creating a new tab in an existing Tab Set adds that tab automatically to it, which reduces the manual juggling.
It will take some time to get used to the Tab Sets feature, largely because it means more juggling around with different tab sets windows.
Say you have three tab sets: Work, Shopping and Entertainment. If you are currently in work, and want to switch to a website in shopping or entertainment you need to press the button in the Firefox toolbar, or use the View menu. Then you need to select the new tab set so that it opens. If you want to switch back, you need to perform the same operation again. Actually, you need to do it every time you want to switch.
The above statement is not entirely true in Windows 7, which displays all open tabs in the taskbar, so that they can be selected directly.
How are tab sets then different from say, using multiple Firefox windows for different online activities?
Windows seem to be more flexible than tab sets. It is for instance possible to place two Firefox windows next to each other, which is not possible with Tab Sets. Windows can also be displayed easier, considering that a click in the taskbar will do that.
How about the ability to open multiple websites with saved tab sets? That can be done by adding all websites to a bookmarks folder and middle-clicking it.
App Tabs, another new feature similar to Chrome's Pin Tab feature, offers options to configure specific tabs to be always displayed in the browser. That's handy for services that may be needed while working in different tab sets.
Tab Sets at this point in development seem to offer no value other than adding eye candy to the Firefox web browser, which is something that we have criticized in the past.
The small bugs encountered in the nightlies will be fixed in the release version, the usability problems on the other hand may turn Tab Sets into another Firefox feature that is barely used by anyone.
What we would like to see:
Ability to create named tab sets directly from the Move This Tab To menu, even if that means using the active page title as a temporary set name.
Keyboard shortcuts to switch between tab sets faster.
Option to display two Tab Sets next to each other, and to merge tab sets more easily.
Option to disable Tab Sets in the browser
A text only Tab Sets configuration window for faster configuration without eye candy.
Option to open bookmarks in a specific tab set
Firefox users who want to test Tab Sets in the browser need to download the latest Nightly Builds from the official website to do so.
What's your take on Tab Sets?

Hoi Martin, nice find but why should i chouse this when i have tab mix plus?
I found only two other functions next to that tabmix hase more function.
And main question is does when you install this and tabmix does the two together conflict white each other?
paul(us) said on August 14, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Hoi (again) Martin, Sorry but i misread this article main question is does tabmax stile necessary with this upgrade from firefox?
Martin said on August 14, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Depends on what you use tabmix for. Tab sets do not interfere with the standard tab features, it is just a new option to manage tabs.
Jimmy said on August 14, 2010 at 3:01 pm
I think it's too early to criticize TabCandy.
And TabCandy is not designed to replace windows.
Jimmy, I mentioned that in the article, Tab Sets will be improved in the next builds, no doubt about that. I know that they will not replace windows, but they do compete with windows on some levels, that's why I brought that up. I personally see no use for tab sets in their current form, and will therefor not use them. If the feature changes I might, we will see.
Rob said on August 14, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Nice article, Martin!
As for the "close tab set button" not working: it's not a close Tab Set button!
What it does is stop editing the text if you have the text box selected.
To be honest, it would be much better for it to be a close Tab Set, but that was not what is was designed to do, so it isn't broken.
Rob, thanks for clarifying that. But how are tab sets deleted then?
I was wondering that!
You can get rid of some by dragging a tab out from a set, dragging another tab on top of that and then when you drag them both out, the set will disappear.
However, if you close all the tabs in a set, it stays! I think what will be done (there is an update to the Nightly build today, if that fixes it?) is that the same will be done for the dragging-tabs-out as it will for the closing-all-tabs – if that makes sense to you! :P
After updating, what was previously the stop-editing-text button is now the close-Tab-Set button.
Which makes a lot more sense.
BalaC said on August 16, 2010 at 6:17 am
Martin, Is Tab Candy and Tab Sets are same?
Martin said on August 16, 2010 at 8:36 am
BalaC, that confused me as well. I think it is, the terminology in Firefox speaks of Tab Sets, that's why I have used it and not Tab Candy.
BalaC, see here http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2010/08/tab-candy-in-for-firefox-4-as-tab-sets/ , it basically states that tab candy is no more, it is now called tab sets. Ha ;)

This Is Anfield • Liverpool FC News • Liverpool FC Transfer Rumours •
Report: No Luis Suarez bids as Liverpool swoop for Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez
Liverpool are unconcerned by growing speculation linking forward Luis Suarez with a move to Spain, according to the Liverpool Echo.

After another sensational week for the 27-year-old in which he scored twice for Uruguay to sink England and effectively knock Roy Hodgson's side out of the World Cup, the rumours have inevitably followed.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are said to be ready to do whatever it takes to capture Suarez's signature, but Liverpool are yet to receive an approach.
After Luis Suarez' great season & match winning goals for #URU v #ENG. FSG are bracing themselves for an Arsenal bid this summer of £40m+£2
— Jay Riley (@Jay_78_) June 23, 2014
The Echo's James Pearce writes:
However, neither Suarez nor his representatives have given Liverpool any indication that he wants to quit Anfield.
Liverpool believe they have done everything they possibly could to satisfy the prolific striker.
After last summer's transfer saga, Suarez committed his future to the club last December by signing a new long-term lucrative deal, though it is thought to have a buy-out clause.
Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League this season though will go some way to satisfying Suarez's career ambitions.
Oh, it seems this will be another "Suarez leaving" twitter meltdown day – thanks to Dailyfail and Luis' "friends". Get a grip, he'll stay
— Alexey Yaroshevsky (@YaroLFC) June 23, 2014
Suarez, who scored 31 goals for Liverpool last season, is preparing for Uruguay's final group D game — a crunch encounter with Italy at the Estádio das Dunas in Natal on Tuesday. A win for either team would see them through to the second round.
The Echo also say Liverpool have registered their interest in signing Barcelona striker Alexis Sanchez.
Pearce adds:
However, during those discussions the Catalan outfit haven't given any indication that they are plotting a swoop for Suarez.
Sanchez has been among a number of high-profile transfer targets linked with Liverpool this summer and after starting the World Cup in form, This Is Anfield's Henry Jackson explained exactly why he'd be perfect at Liverpool.

Sikh War memorial in Glenwood has been approved by the Blacktown City Council in Western Sydney. The proposal for the project was submitted for the council's consideration back in 2019.
Mr Amarinder Bajwa spearheaded and lobbied for the project since its inception and approached various stakeholders. The project has gone through many stages. NSW RSL, Blacktown Councillors and officials eagerly supported the project and after meeting many council requirements the project was approved in the council meeting in August 2021.
The project would be built and installed after the community consultations and fine tuning further details.
Fateh Foundation team under Mr Bajwa as the project chair is working closely with the Blacktown council to fine tune the project delivery for the community in Glenwood.
This is a first of its kind project in southern hemisphere. Its costs and project delivery is proposed to be based on the donations and fundraising.
The statue of an Unknown Sikh Soldier would provide an opportunity for next generations to know the legacy of Sikhs as fearless soldiers that fought for others and died for others. Australians and Sikhs fought and died together in Gallipoli.
'Australians should remember that Sikh soldiers fought alongside Anzacs from the first day of the Gallipoli campaign.' said Prof. Peter Stanley of UNSW Canberra.
We are proud of our history and legacy of our forefathers and this monument at the heart of the Blacktown reminds us of them and we cherish the memory of their heroics that defended the lands far and near ensuring the future of next generations is bright, said Amarinder Bajwa.

This topic may sound familiar to people who have been reading my blog for a while. I've posted about most, if not all the component technologies I'll be speaking about below. I hope I can change the context of the discussion enough not to bore you to death.
Unless it's necessary I will not write code, this is meant as an idea generator. Either I've already written about the technology or I will do so in a separate post.
I keep coming back to Jen Simmons SFHTML5 talk on web layouts. Partly because it takes me back to my beginnings as a web designer and because it challenges me to rethink the way I approach design and development.
This is a two pronged memory for me.
In the early years of the web, there was a lot of variation and experimentation with where to put content on a web page. Then, it seems, we all settled into a handful of patterns and stayed there for over a decade. It wasn't until the arrival of responsive design that new ideas for page layout started appearing. Now with new CSS properties for layout landing in browsers, we may be about to see a bigger renaissance in layout design patterns. How can we better use the space inside the glass rectangle? What layout innovations could help users better find and focus on what they want?
And then I've seen how the web has become stuck in a rigid layout systems. What is known as "the holy grail" became the predominant design layout and it has gotten too rigid, designers are playing it safe and we're loosing the creative spark that should drive all good design.
Andy Clarke has presented this ideas in his blog, at the Beyond Tellerand Conference (see video below) and, most recently in Smashing Books' Real Life RWD.
That's why I keep asking myself if the web can't do what print can. Print seems a lot less constrained in what they can and cannot do than the web is. Fortunately that seems to be changing.
For the longest time designers have been told that the web is not print and shouldn't be treated as such. My question has always been why not? What makes the web such a different medium?
There are new specifications and APIs being finalized by the W3C and WHATWG that make art directed web content more interesting and more like print and other art directed content.
The idea of an "art directed article" is that it is designed specifically for the content of the article. It might share some characteristics from the parent site (it probably should), but lots of design elements change to suit the specific article. Layout, colors, type, backgrounds, images, interactions… all custom just for the article.
I'm not advocating that all web content be art directed but we should have the freedom to use these new features and create layouts that really help users interact and understand with the content.
Ebooks in the other hand lend themselves particularly well to be art directed. Particularly when working with fixed layout (FXL) ebooks you have a much tighter control over the layout and content so why not treat each project as a bespoke project? Granted, it reduces the number of projects you can work on at the same time but, personally, I'd rather go for quality over quantity any time.
In future sections we'll discuss some of the tools that would put the web closer to printed documents.

Chicago Family Dental Center Blog Should You let Your Child Get a Fluoride Treatment?
Many argue that the benefits of fluoride far outweigh the risks. In fact, fluoride can reduce tooth decay by up to 25%. However, it's important to remember that fluoride can affect your kids differently—especially if they're younger than twelve. You should also avoid using toothpaste with fluoride in it until you're certain your little one can spit out their toothpaste. Your child would need to ingest a huge amount of fluoride before it would cause any real damage, but avoiding the issue altogether is generally considered preferable.
Many dentists offer fluoride treatments. These treatments don't usually take more than a few minutes, and can come in many forms, including a gel, foam, or varnish. If you decide on this treatment, we'll apply your fluoride with a cotton swab, brush, or with a tray. After the treatment, you should avoid foods and beverages for at least 30 minutes. This will give your teeth a chance to absorb the fluoride.
Would you like to learn more about the benefits of fluoride? Are you interested in learning more about a fluoride treatment? If so, please don't hesitate to contact The Chicago Family Dental Center at 312.551.0500. Dr. Gary Wegmann and our team will be happy to examine your teeth and offer you personalized advice. We'll also be happy to answer any questions you may have. We're look forward to hearing from you!

In the previous recipe, I made Nyonya Chicken Curry Kapitan. Last week, I went to Prime Supermarket and bought a whole Batang fish. They fillet the whole fish but cut the tail into pieces as it will be difficult to fillet at the end. So this time, I made some changes and used fish instead of chicken.

The UK-based offshore driller Ensco has reportedly found work for one of its jack-up drilling rigs for a three-month period.
Data from VesselsValue shows that the company's Ensco 87 jack-up rig was chartered on February 1 by an undisclosed client.
The site did not reveal any data regarding the dayrate for the rig, but it did say that the work on the contract would begin on February 28 and end on May 27.
Classified by ABS, the rig had previously worked for Talos. The contract expired in mid-December 2016, and Ensco them warm stacked the Ensco 87, along with Ensco 8503 and Ensco 68 rigs to maintain availability in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico region.
Current AIS data for the Ensco 87, provided by MarineTraffic shows that the rig is currently located in the Gulf of Mexico, some 90 miles southeast of Freeport, Texas.
Ensco 87 was built by Marathon LeTourneau in 1982. It is a self-elevated MODU jack-up rig upgraded in 2006. It can accommodate 75 people and can operate in depths of up to 350 feet.
Offshore Energy Today has reached out to Ensco, seeking more details about the reported new contract.

Daughter of Olympian Sam Kahanamoku Walks On
Courtesy Sonia Lien Kahanamoku Collection/Dave Kragen - Sonia Vrooman Lien Kahanamoku is seen here with her niece, Patty Kahanamoku-Teruya, and Patty's granddaughter.
byRichard Walker
Sonia Vrooman Lien Kahanamoku, who met her Native Hawaiian family when she was in her 70s and in her last five years became an author, mentor and advocate for Native children, walked on to join her ancestors on March 9.
She was 80 and had battled cancer. A celebration of her life is scheduled for 2 p.m. April 2 at the First Lutheran Church in Poulsbo, on the Kitsap Peninsula west of Seattle. Earl Maikahikinapamaikala "Pa Mai" Tenn, liaison for the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation, will attend.
She was born Sonia Vrooman on September 20, 1935 in Long Beach, California, to Winifred Powell, a Navy commander's wife. Powell had had a brief affair with Olympic bronze medalist Sam Kahanamoku (100-meter freestyle, 1924) while traveling on the SS Lurline from Los Angeles to Hawai'i. After the baby's birth, Powell's husband, recognizing that he was not the father, abandoned wife and child. Mother and daughter were also rejected by Powell's Virginia family.

I was only 4 when I became a ward of the court," Lien wrote in her book, "From Alone to Aloha" (PublishNext, 2011), which chronicles her journey from abuse and abandonment to healing and joy. "The state of California placed me in homes and institutions professing to practice religion, but my spirit was broken in the name of God."
By the time she was 15, she was angry and rebellious. She also grappled with her identity. "Having lived in foster homes and group homes, I never knew the feeling of belonging to a loving family," she wrote.
Courtesy Sonia Lien Kahanamoku Collection/Dave Kragen - Sonia Vrooman Lien Kahanamoku is seen here at age 11.
But two things carried her those years: hope that "somewhere there had to be a kinder God," and, she realized years later, "the strength and character I inherited from my real father from Hawai'i." She wrote in her book that aloha—affection, peace, compassion—"lived and thrived in me as I struggled in those early years."
She served in the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps from 1954-58; became a musician and performer; and in 1964 met her husband, Stanley Lien, with whom she was married until his passing in 1995.
In February 2010, a door opened to a union with her ohana in Hawai'i. She had lunch with a friend who asked about her Hawaiian heritage.
"I told her what I had heard from my mother [when Sonia was in her 50s]: that my father was a popular and prominent Hawaiian and sheriff of Honolulu when I was born," Lien recalled. "My mother had said his name was Duke Kah–something. My friend's partner, an avid surfer, became curious. He googled 'Sheriff of Hawai'i in 1935;' that was all it took for him to obtain the name 'Duke Kahanamoku.'"
Courtesy Wikipedia /This bronze statue of Duke Kahanamoku stands on Kuhio Beach in Waikiki.
The friend tracked down the ship's passenger list for that voyage, Dececember 22-27, 1934. Lien's mother and Sam Kahanamoku, Duke's brother, were on the same voyage. (Another notable passenger: aviator Amelia Earhart.)
It turned out that Sam was Lien's father and Duke was her uncle.
Lien wrote of having an "a-ha" moment during Lent that year. She felt peace with, and "total acceptance" of her history for which she was ostracized earlier in life. "My mother had had a brief affair with a Hawaiian man that resulted in my birth in 1935," she wrote. "Both she and I were abandoned by my prejudiced family from Virginia. I had internalized this rejection—until now."
With the help of friends, she reached out to the Kahanamoku family through the Duke Kahanamoku Foundation and, on August 24, 2010, she met her long lost family in Hawai'i at a celebration of the 120th anniversary of Duke's birth. She also visited the gravesite of her father, Samuel Alapai Kahanamoku (Nov. 4, 1902 – April 26, 1966). Her life had gone from alone to aloha.
"She did [a] DNA test which [confirmed] her ancestry as Asian/Pacific Islander, but that's it," said Dave Kragen, Sonia's friend who co-authored "Alone to Aloha." "The family, after seeing the cruise liner manifest of the Lurline in 1934 with Sonia's mother and Samuel Kahanamoku, and the facial similarities [when compared to] Sonia's pictures as a little girl, and other circumstantial evidence… the big picture of cumulative evidences, the Hawaiian community concluded Sonia was indeed Auntie Sonia Lien Kahanamoku."
Courtesy Sonia Lien Kahanamoku Collection/Dave Kragen - Sonia Vrooman Lien Kahanamoku is seen here at age 8.
Kragen called it "the odd beauty of the story:" Sonia, rejected by her racist Southern family, her mother unable to care for her, at 75 years old connecting with and being welcomed by her Native Hawaiian family.
In the last five years of her life, she wrote her book; mentored students at Chief Kitsap Academy, a grade 6-12 school owned and operated by the Suquamish Tribe; and served on the local Indian Child Welfare Advisory Committee.
In 2014, students at Chief Kitsap Academy produced a short film about Sonia Lien (she now used the Kahanamoku name), in which she shared her story of hope and restoration. She participated in weekly Kanikapila, or impromptu Hawaiian music sessions, at Aloha Kitchen restaurant in Silverdale; performed Hawaiian music and signed her books in Allyn and Poulsbo; and sang "Honolulu, I'm Coming Back Again" for a video posted on YouTube in June 2014.
In April 2015, she was diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer. She revisited her Hawaiian family that summer, staying with a niece, Patty Kahanamoku Teruya, and attended Waikiki's annual Duke's OceanFest Celebration, which features competition in ocean sports that were close to Duke Kahanamoku's heart—longboard surfing, paddleboard racing, swimming, tandem surfing, surf polo, and beach volleyball.
Courtesy Wikipedia /Duke Kahanamoku is seen here with a longboard in Los Angeles, California in 1920.
In February this year, her cancer had progressed to the point that she moved to Bainbridge Island Health & Rehabilitation.
"?In the final days of her earthly sojourn, Sonia maintained her cheery self," friend David Kragen wrote on Sonia Kahanamoku's blog. He co-authored her book and helped maintain her blog.
"She saw her last moments 'as a new beginning,' assuring those around her 'all is well with my soul.' As a survivor, artist, friend, delightful Hawaiian, Sonia amazed us all with her outlook on life, on death, her aloha …"
Kragen wrote that Sonia once noted, "My cancer, living with cancer is a blessing—a joy. I appreciate the opportunity to visit with and care for others who visit me in my final days in this life."
Kragen wrote, "Right to the end, she found ways to care about others, her visitors, her roommate in the bed next to her at the hospice."
?About the Kahanamoku family
Duke Kahanamoku (1890-1968) was an athlete who won Olympic gold medals in swimming in 1912 and 1920, and silver medals in 1912 and 1924. He served as sheriff of Honolulu from 1932 to 1961, and appeared in 18 movies and documentaries. He was inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame, Swimming Hall of Fame, and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.
Sam Kahanamoku (1902-1966) won an Olympic bronze medal in the 100-meter freestyle in 1924. He and other Kahanamoku family members appeared on the TV show "This Is Your Life" in 1957.

Looks like Carmen's again the place she begun. yet might or not it's that love isn't the matter? perhaps she's simply been selecting the inaccurate males.

Abe and his good friend Sol are out for a stroll jointly in part of city they haven't been in sooner than. Passing a Christian church, they become aware of a curious sign up entrance that claims "$1,000 to somebody who will convert. " "I ask yourself what that's about," says Abe. "I imagine I'll move in and take a look. I'll be again in a minute; simply look forward to me. "
Ted Cohen thinks that's no longer a foul comic story. yet he additionally doesn't imagine it's a simple comic story. For a listener or reader to snicker at Abe's conversion, a classy set of stipulations needs to be met. First, a listener has to acknowledge that Abe and Sol are Jewish names. moment, that listener should be conversant in the frequent concept that Jews are extra drawn to cash than anything. and at last, the listener must understand this data prior to the comic story, and with out somebody telling her or him. Jokes, in brief, are complex transactions during which groups are cast, intimacy is out there, and another way offensive stereotypes and cliches lose their sting—at least sometimes.
Jokes is a ebook of jokes and a publication approximately them. Cohen loves a superb snigger, yet as a thinker, he's additionally drawn to how jokes paintings, why they paintings, and once they don't. The satisfaction on the finish of a comic story is the results of a posh set of stipulations and procedures, and Cohen takes us via those stipulations in a philosophical exploration of humor. He considers questions of viewers, number of shaggy dog story subject matters, the ethnic personality of jokes, and their morality, all with lots of examples that would make you both giggle or wince. Jokes: extra funny than different philosophy books, extra philosophical than different humor books.

Simply because his art is just too realistic--a painted sunlight begins a fire--expert signal painter Slappy Hooper has trouble in getting a role, till an out-of-this-world project from the Heavenly signal corporation retains him busy all day lengthy.
PROBLEMS AND OCC FOR JOKE- I F T H E C R E A T I O N OF A J O K E is like the solution of a problem, then how is the problem set? One may simply set a problem for oneself, taking any subject one likes. For instance: What is Sacramento? '* 18. This was made up many years ago, collaboratively,by the remarkable Richard Bernstein and me. No, we don't think it is a great joke. But you try making up something about pimiento. "asks one of them. "Yes," replies the man, "for instance this week I had it almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday.
But if you tell this joke to someone who has a pretty good opinion of both Wagner and Puccini, he is likely to be puzzled. He is not puzzled because metaphors are understandable only to those who agree with them. For instance, you can understand Diana Vreelands "Pink is the navy blue of 1ndia"l' without agreeing with it: you can understand it without knowing whether it is apt. " He recognizes the form of the quip, a is to b as c is to d, but he cannot find the d. In "MichaelJordan is the Mozart of basketball," plainly, Jordan is to basketball as Mozart is to music.
M. Abe is awake again, and again he asks Sarah for her attentions. " Sarahs remark makes perfect sense, so perfect that it is incredible. The fact of Abe's impending death is impossible to embrace and contemplate, and Sarahs response matches it perfectly. 42 CHAPTER FOUR For very many jokes, we are given a topic, often an esoteric one, and the challenge is to find a joke involving that topic. And for certain kinds of jokes we need some occasion or topic that we can take for granted as part of a shared background with an audience, and we play on that shared background.

The Hopewell Indians used sharp sticks and clamshells here 2,000 years ago to sculpture seven million cubic feet of dirt into a sprawling lunar observatory and the spiritual center of their far-flung empire. Today it is an easy Par 3 flanked by sand traps shaped like kidney beans. For generations, few thought it strange that golfers at the Moundbuilders Country Club whacked little white balls across ground once hallowed to an ancient community.
But now there is an eagerness among many people to see moonrises from the mounds the way the Indians did, a desire that has caused a conflict with the golf club. The Newark Earthworks, which make up the world's largest ancient mound site, lingered in obscurity 30 miles east of Columbus until five years ago, when the country club announced plans for a new clubhouse. The design included a foundation that would have dug into the mounds.

WAEC publishes names of suspects behind leakage of examination papers
The suspects are 10 in number: 8 men, 2 women, and have confessed to the act, according to the statement.
The West African Examination Council has published the names of 10 suspects believed to be behind the leakage of WASSCE exams questions this year.
A statement signed and issued in Accra by Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, Deputy Director, Public Affairs, said the suspects are operators of "rogue websites who peddled fake questions presenting them as leaked papers and also in authentic papers which had been compromised after their official release from the Council's depots."
The Council said the suspects were arrested and initially handed over to the police but were later reported to the BNI which took over the case and the suspects.
Profile of suspects
Ebenezer Akakpo popularly known as Mr. Luke Dito Dito. He is 21 years old and a pianist. He operates the rogue website under the name SHS Pop Up. He has over 26, 800 subscribers some of whom are parents, teachers and school proprietors. He operates also with Moses Aryee Okaitei popularly called Santiago and one Chris Brown who are at large.
Samuel Owusu Frimpong alias Koffi Linking. He is 30 years old and a Physics teacher at Namong Senior High School in the Ashanti Region.
He operates the rogue website with the name Linking but claims that he does not know the number of subscribers. He also distributes to other dealers.
Alice Apama alias Alice. She is 28 years and a mother of one. She is a factory hand in a commercial press house in Accra and relays the items from her source by phone to subscribed clients.
George Obeng Asiedu alias Arafat/Ostino George. He is 35 years and an Economics teacher of Osino Senior High School in the Eastern Region. His specialty is with proprietors of private schools.
Westerman Ayimadu Amankwah, a Biology teacher of Osino Senior High School. He takes snapshots of questions in the examination room and forwards them to dealers for answers and broadcasting.
Isaac Dadzie alias Ike. He is 20 years old and claims to be a part-time worker with NCCE in Cape Coast. He collects the papers from designated sources and hands them over to various dealers especially Mr. Luke and Linking.
Alex Asoeanyinah alias Alabama. He is 39 years old, an Integrated Science teacher and the Senior Housemaster of Achinakrom Senior High School in the Ashanti Region. He forwards the items mainly to students.
Foster Bekoe alias Akwesi Sakyi. He is about 27 years old and a trader in second-hand clothing. He serves as a middleman and facilitator for other dealers. He operates with one Emmanual Drafoh alias Obama who is at large.
Nana Yaa Asanewaa alias Nhana Yhaa. She is 19 years and a casual staff of MTN. She registers SIM cards with fictitious names and details for the dealers to receive payment by MTN mobile money.
Prince Gbadago alias Sir Prince. He is 21 years and apart from being a dealer, he provides forged results slips for vulnerable clients. He works as a clerk in a Travel and Tour company.
WAEC'S caution
The statement added the Council will "vigorously sustain its efforts to flush out these education wreckers" in a move to protect the credibility of its examinations.
The Council cautioned those who intend to patronise the "criminal activities of these miscreants that they will not be spared when caught. "
"Meanwhile arrangements are underway for the prosecution of parents, school proprietors and teachers who subscribed to compromised papers through Mr. Luke Dito Dito," the statement added.
In addition, the statement assured Ghanaians and the government of Ghana that it is committed to conducting credible examinations and will stop at nothing in achieving that goal.
During this year's WASSCE exams, three papers -- Oral English, Integrated Science and Social Studies papers -- leaked.
Some students in some schools in the Greater Accra and the Eastern regions had access to the examination papers between 12 midnight and 4 a.m. on the day the papers were written.
Some students created WhatsApp groups to circulate the leaked exams papers.
The council, last year, cancelled five subject papers in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) — papers 2 of English Language, Religious and Moral Education, Integrated Science, Mathematics and Social Studies.This followed realisation that those papers had been leaked, raising issues with credibility of the examinations.
Outmoded concept
Vice President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers, Angel Carbonu questioned the integrity of WAEC over the leakage of the papers.
Mr. Carbonu attributed the leakage of exam papers in the country to the broad geographical space within which the exams are conducted.
"Is it necessary for us to join a WASSCE community and be writing the same examinations? That concept ought to be discarded because it is absolutely an outmoded concept," he stated.

Each time I visit Maiden Lane, I realize that I need to return there more often. When we first discussed how late I would be arriving at her home, Ms. O stated that she would have a few snacks ready for me. Considering how long she's known me, I figured that our definition of snacks was the same, but I wasn't sure. I was borderline famished when I arrived around 10pm and thank goodness our definitions are indeed the same. I was excited when she announced it would be a Spanish teamed snackfest.
You can still see the steam rising from the amazing sauteed shrimp. I ate quite a few of these.
The amaaaazing chicken meatballs. The sauce was incredible. I sopped it up with the bread which was toasted yet soft.
The Patatas Bravas were definitely a highlight. I couldn't help myself I just kept piling more on my plate. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious dessert. Mr. M picked up a pie for Ms. O and I.
It was INCREDIBLE. Well toasted crust and top - amazing filling. YUM! By now you know Ms. O always delivers. I was thrilled to spend the night in my own private tapas lounge. Can't wait for next time!!

Does Your Social Media Smell Like This Man?
by Allison | Jul 16, 2010 | Branding & Graphic Design, Content & Social Media
On July 13, 2010, the Internet marketing game changed. Some might say that's hyperbole, but Old Spice stepped up their game and created a brilliant melding of video, social media, and media relations. Most of us have seen and enjoyed the commercials where buff actor Isaiah Mustafa told us what our men could be like, if only they smelled like Old Spice (He can turn things into diamonds! He can bake you a cake in the kitchen he built with his own two hands!). It was a fun campaign, a great way to revamp the tired Old Spice brand, but nothing revolutionary.
Then came one small tweet from @oldspice : "Today could be just like the other 364 days you log into twitter. Or maybe the Old Spice man shows up."
People were puzzled, but the meaning soon became clear. The actual Old Spice man did show up, answering actual tweets, Facebook messages, postings from bloggers–all in video form. The Old Spice production crew was spontaneously creating short videos (ranging from about 20 seconds to 1 minute in length) in realtime, all in the same irreverent, cocky style which characterized the original commercials.
Old Spice smartly targeted social media influencers like Digg, reddit,and Ellen Degeneres. They even sent roses to Alyssa Milano! But they didn't focus their attention purely on the famous: people tweeted questions about their boyfriends, what college Old Spice man went to (Success University, with a minor in bazooka shooting), and every other thing under the sun. Not every video explicitly mentioned Old Spice, but they all served to support the new, young brand identity–and to seriously put Old Spice on the map.
While not every company can afford to do this, it's still an important reminder to constantly up your game. It's not enough to just be on social media, and to follow every "10 tips for social media awesomeness" we see. It is about challenging ideas, pushing boundaries, and doing the ridiculous. Old Spice man proves it works.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, top center, applauds after hearing the results of a vote on a constitutional amendment during a plenary session of China's National People's Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, March 11, 2018.
This notion of socialism with Chinese characteristics (ChiSoc for short) is an important one.
Any Chinese citizen who doesn't comply with the rules of ChiSoc can end up without a household registration in life, and without a burial site in death.
Foreigners who haven't been initiated into its mysteries will keep blindly running into walls if they want to have dealings with Chinese people.
ChiSoc used to be something of a riddle that could only be understood by the creme de la creme of Chinese society. Very few people outside the political establishment knew its true meaning.
But all that has changed with the 2018 constitutional amendments. Now, the true nature of ChiSoc has been made clear for all to see: "The essential distinguishing feature of ChiSoc is the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party."
This is entirely correct. All of the main characteristics of our society can be traced back to the leadership of the party.
For example, why did tens of millions of rural residents die in this country during the three-year famines of 1959-1961? Because party leaders needed to take away all of their grain to enable the steel industry to double its output to 10.7 million tons a year.
Why did the party leaders need to make so much steel? Because we had to surpass the United Kingdom and catch up with America, whatever it took.
Why did we have to overtake Britain and catch up to the United States? Because the Chinese Communist Party was determined, by hook or by crook, to be the world leaders of socialism.
Why did the party do nothing to prevent the huge loss of life from hunger? Because it had decided that tens of millions of people starving to death was a small price to pay for being the top socialist country in the world.
Another example: how did ChiSoc manage, in a sight that was shocking to behold, to create such a yawning chasm between rich and poor in the most effective manner, and in the shortest possible time?
Why did Yang Gailan [a resident of the northwestern province of Gansu], in a state of utter exhaustion, take her own life [and that of her family] to put an end to their hunger? And why are some people (such as those with the surname Jiang) in possession of hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars when they are still in the flower of their youth? Because the party leaders aren't interested in the low-end population. Instead, they are rather keen on [Deng Xiaoping's maxim]: "Let some people get rich first if they have the ability to do so."
And of course, it's those with close ties to the party leadership who tend to have this kind of luck in the first place.
Yet another example: Why has China only managed to rid itself of tigers or flies [large and small-scale corrupt officials] selectively? Because ChiSoc's body politic is festering with corruption from the roots of its hair to the soles of its feet. Nowhere is free of it.
And why is that? Because under ChiSoc, all economic activity, just like social activity, has to be approved by party leaders.
This means that party leaders are rent-seekers to whom all must apply, from the smallest roadside stallholder to the company wanting to list on the stockmarket, from business owners needing a license to those needing loans or investment, from the acquisition of land to the hiring of labor, from suppliers, to production, to sales, to inspections, to lawsuits.
There is a huge bundle of applications to be made and approvals to be obtained at every juncture; the party will have its dues paid, willy nilly, for this is the party leaders' own playground; the place where they engage in extortion, exploitation and mass murder.
From the lowest-ranking village official to the leaders and deputy leaders of our country, this model is ubiquitous, and its stain soaks through everything, though some presumably try to keep their hands clean.
If we were to tear away the last shred of modesty, tell me: would there be a clean patch of earth left anywhere? Somewhere to build a shrine to truth and justice?
It's no surprise that the party leaders pretend not to have noticed the revelations made in the Panama Papers, and by [exiled billionaire] Guo Wengui.
Corruption, of course, isn't limited to economic activity. Some party leaders have extended their feelers into everything, like a mass of bloodsucking insects.
Social actions like being born, moving to live in a city, graduating, finding a job, or getting access to healthcare, can all suddenly meet with unexpected disaster.
Much as in the economic sphere, the right of appeal or redress exists in name only, and the rules of the game are anything but fair and just. Everything depends on applications and approvals, and on rent-seeking wherever we turn.
The promotion of any party, government or military official ... is subject to the rules of horse-trading that goes along with the buying and selling of official positions. It is here that we see the true depth and ubiquity of corruption in China.
So yes, the tragic history of tens of millions of deaths by starvation, the current social divide, and the dark curtain of corruption overshadowing the entire country can all be traced back to the comprehensive and profound nature of the party's leadership.
And I think it is still correct to say that the essential distinguishing feature of ChiSoc is the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
Why China (and Russia) are locked in the past?
Command economies are not good for business.
I comment on the article by the report re Mr Bao Tong dated 2018-03-26.
A reference relevant to my comment is footnoted.
Briefly international cooperation can have a positive effect, censorship is not conducive to "business" particularly in economics.
Nobel prize winners of that interest, Economics, are worth examination by any totalitarian thug.
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Xi, Mao, Putin, Pol Pot are not must reads for Economics 101.
Totalitarians are bad for business.
Like 18th century autocrats they seem to assert infantile self preoccupation.
The insecurity of these folk is actually dangerous.
Freud may have some insight into human insecurity, armed with nuclear weapons.
In the meantime I will contain my emotional empathy re the article concerning the arrest of Hong Kong citizens reported by Lam Kwok-lap for RFA's Cantonese Service, and by Yang Fan for the Mandarin Service. Translated and edited by Luisetta Mudie.
The economic miracle of Germany post war was difficult, democratic and "good for business".
Bashing the person who has an opinion is antediluvian.
Karl Marx who had ideas in the tradition of Charles Dickens, the novelist, would be unwelcome in the hagiography of folk who put the poor and weak as il numero uno.
If knowing international law, to hurt, gas, starve, humiliate, gaol and bomb fellow humans places the perpetrator in the same category of another unethical thug just like other failed leaders mentioned above.
Kindly concur with international law, ethics and common sense.
Russia/Putin protect Mr Assad with their citizen's lives?
Apparently Dr Assad was a competent eye surgeon.
Totalitarian dictators tend to write their own end.
The vision of Dr Assad only he can see.
The communist party are corrupt - they who worship power at all costs and employ mind control by torture. This will not last and then what will they do ? Fear is their everyday life. Not a desirable philosophy, they are blind, and have not considered that God really exists (prayers working can prove this). The older people speak out, because they have learned not to care, the spell is broken for them.

Police arrest man for bomb hoax near G7 summit after evacuation
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel arrive for a joint news conference ahead of the G7 summit, at the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium June 10, 2021. (Reuters)
Police said they had arrested a man for a bomb hoax near to the media center set up to cover the G7 summit south west England after officers were forced to evacuate a hotel in response to reports of a suspicious package early on Thursday morning.
Officers were called out to the hotel in Falmouth, where most media covering the meeting of the global leaders are based, at about 3.15 a.m. local time after the package was found.
A Royal Navy bomb disposal unit was called in and declared it unviable, but only after about 100 people from a hotel and surrounding properties were evacuated.
Police said a 20-year-old man from Falmouth had been arrested on suspicion of a bomb hoax and was now in custody.
World News With G7 summit stop first, President Biden embarks on eight-day Europe trip
US President Joe Biden arrived in Britain on Wednesday evening and he is staying at the seaside resort of Carbis Bay, about 25 miles away from Falmouth.
There is a large security operation in place for the G7 event, the first in-person meeting of the leaders of major developed economies for nearly two years, with 5,000 police officers drafted in from across Britain.
Police have closed off roads and coastal paths to Carbis Bay, the small seaside resort which is hosting the event, and erected a steel fence around the venue, with armed officers on patrol.
Activists have vowed to stage disruptive and annoying protests during the event to highlight their causes.

Hypodermic Needle Theory
Posted bywashcollcms November 4, 2017 November 4, 2020 Posted inMedia Thinkers and Theory
The earliest definition of Hypodermic Needle Theory (HNT) comes from journalist Walter Lippmann's book Public Opinion, saying that the growth of mass media culture has powerful effects on the minds and behavior of people (Lippmann, 1922). Although there was no actual evidence to back up his argument, his claim is the earliest version of HNT and that mass media can directly influence behavior in the same way a needle can directly affect a body (Danesi, 2013). It can also be called the magic bullet theory or the direct-effects model and is the concept that powerful media affect weak audiences (Campbell, 2017).
Harold Lasswell
The American scholar Harold Lasswell supported the idea of HNT in his Propaganda Techniques in World War I (1927) saying that mass-mediated propaganda affected the politics, family relations, general outlooks, and behavior of people. He summarizes why and how effective mass propaganda was in World War I, particularly in Germany's case. Since mass media/propaganda was so effective during the war, it supported HNT and that people respond directly to mass media messages.
The main opposing argument to HNT comes from Paul Lazarsfelds's The People's Choice: How the Voter Makes Up His in a Presidential Campaign (1944) where he describes limited effects theory. Limited effects theory says that mass media do have effects on a person, but not directly like HNT proposes. First, the theory says media rarely have direct influence on a person because most people are sheltered from manipulation by family, friends, coworkers, or social groups. Second, there is a two-step flow of communication. Opinion leaders, critical media users that are not easily manipulated, spread information from the mass media to others, and they act as effective media influence barriers. Third, by adulthood most people have formed strong communities, such as political parties or religious affiliations that may reject the media messages. Which would cause a person to also reject the messages. Lastly, when media effects do occur, they are mostly small and isolated. It is easier for smaller groups of people, or weaker communities to be influenced, but not the masses (Danesi, 2017). This is the main counterargument to HNT and scholars conduct studies or observe life events to try to either agree or disagree with the two opposing theories.
Illustration to HG Wells's War of the Worlds
HNT was in speculation until in 1938 the radio broadcast of Orson Welles's radio adaptation of H.G. Wells's novel War of the Worlds aired. The novel was about an alien invasion of Earth and there were several disclaimers throughout the broadcast stating that the story was fiction. However, many listeners thought the invasion was actually happening and there was mass panic where people even left their homes and called authorities. This led to the first psychological study of media effects (MEs), called the Cantril Study. In The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic (1940), Hadley Cantril, a Princeton University professor, and a team of researchers interviewed 135 subjects after the broadcast. The study gave empirical support to HNT when they concluded that the panic from the broadcast was real, even though many of the subjects were embarrassed to admit they thought the event was real (Danesi, 2017).
Mass media effects are more powerful on children
The Cantril Study was criticized by many psychologists and sociologists as being flawed because it did not show a statistical correlation between the broadcast and the degree of reported panic. Also, panic may have been caused by media reports that purposely exaggerated the story. No deaths or serious injuries were reported after the broadcast and the streets were never crowded with panicking people. The panic recorded by the mass media was fictional. Although, the study still did prove that media produced effects on people, just not direct effects like HNT proposes (Danesi, 2017). HNT is disapproved by many social scientists, but many people still attribute direct effects to mass media, especially with children (Campbell, 2017). This led to more studies to determine the extent to which mass media impacts people's minds and behavior (Danesi, 2017).

BHA Launches new industry Safeguarding Policy
The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) announced the publication of a new overarching Safeguarding Policy for the racing industry yesterday (18th December). The new Policy, Regulations and Code of Conduct for the sport, will come into effect from 1 January 2019.
The Safeguarding Policy is applicable to everyone who works in British racing and is designed to complement and underpin the existing safeguarding policies that various racing organisations, including Racing Welfare, already have in place.
The Sport and Recreation Alliance's definition of safeguarding is "the process of protecting children and adults from harm by providing safe and effective care. It includes all procedures designed to prevent harm."
The BHA Policy covers areas such as abuse, inappropriate relationships, reporting safeguarding concerns and safer recruitment practices. Adherence to the policy will form part of the licensing requirements for all trainers.
Nick Rust, Chief Executive of the BHA, said:
"For this sport to have the bright future we are all working together to achieve, we must attract the interest and participation of people of all ages. It is vital that those people who we do attract to the sport have a positive and fulfilling experience and are protected from all forms of abuse and harm.
"As the governing body of racing, the BHA has a particular duty to protect young people and adults at risk from harm that may arise from their participation in racing.
"However, this duty is not confined to the BHA. It is shared by everyone in racing. We all have a role to play in promoting a positive culture and experience for everyone involved in our sport. We trust that the new safeguarding obligations will be positively received, demonstrating Racing's commitment to the protection of its youngest and most vulnerable participants."
The Policy will form part of the licensing requirements for all trainers – the sport's main employers – after 1st January. As part of this process all trainers will now need to agree to act in accordance with the Safeguarding Policy, Regulations and Code of Conduct, and agree that they and their staff will complete any training required by the BHA. In addition, during 2019, all trainers will be required to complete an online training and assessment module.
In future there will be a requirement for staff employed by trainers to complete the training, as well as jockeys and other individuals within the sport.
In addition to the Policy, two further documents have been published, the Safeguarding Regulations and a Code of Conduct which is designed to complement the Policy by setting expectations of behaviour for all those within racing when dealing with young people and adults at risk.
Anyone with any concerns about the welfare of young people or adults at risk who are working within the sport can make contact via the BHA's dedicated safeguarding@britishhorseracing.com email address, or for confidential matters to use this online reporting tool which provides the option to withhold personal details.
In developing this Safeguarding Policy, the BHA has worked alongside a number of stakeholders in racing, including the British Racing School (BRS), the Northern Racing College (NRC), Racing Welfare, the National Trainers Federation (NTF), the Racecourse Association (RCA), the National Association of Racing Staff (NARS), the National Stud, the Thoroughbred Breeders Association (TBA), Racing Together, the Pony Racing Authority (PRA), the Professional Jockeys Association (PJA) and the Jockeys Education and Training Scheme (JETS).
Racing Welfare's own safeguarding policies are accessible here.
