Camille Pissarro: The Quays at Rouen 1883
London, Courtauld Institute of Art
Pissarro was the only artist to take part in all eight Impressionist Exhibitions (though none of them bore the title which is now used). He fulfilled a pivotal role in the development of Impressionism and in the movements it later spawned, becoming something of a father figure and mentor to such artists as Cézanne, Gauguin and van Gogh, and enthusiastically supporting the aims of the Neo-Impressionists. In the autumn of 1883 Pissarro took a room in Murer's Hotel in Rouen. For three months he worked on thirteen paintings of the city with the river Seine and the attendant commercial activities of the port as his principal motif. Thirteen years later he was back in the city to undertake one of the series of urban scenes which constituted much of Pissarro's output during the last ten years of his life. These series paintings amounted to some three hundred canvases made up of views from a single vantage point, usually a hotel room high above the chosen scene. In retrospect, the canvases painted in Rouen in 1883, which can be divided into three groups of subjects, can be seen as his first attempt to create a series of cityscapes.
In this picture, as in his later urban series, he uses a raised viewpoint partly it seems in order to distance the viewer from the panorama presented by the artist and to create the feeling that we are voyeurs, detached from the lives of those engaged in the day-to-day activities of the city — lives from which a brief moment has been captured and frozen on the canvas.
Pissarro constructed his pictures at this time using a heavy impasto — small dabs and dots of colour are built up, dab on dab, to produce a surface which almost seethes with colour. Small flecks of lighter paint across the surface help to give the impression of occluded sunlight. Two years after his stay in Rouen, Pissarro met Seurat and Signac, after which he adopted, for a while, a pointillist style. However, this picture already exhibits aspects of a nascent pointillism and it seems that Pissarro would have needed little encouragement from them to adapt to full blown Neo-Impressionism.

Product manufacturers in industries such as aerospace, defense, and healthcare have no room for error in their manufacturing processes—the product liability is too high with human lives at stake. The need for the strictest quality control and quality assurance poses substantial challenges for these manufacturers as they migrate some product manufacturing to use Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM).
Manufacturers of precision parts are attracted to metal AM because it allows the production of intricate, free-form components directly from CAD—making the production of these parts more feasible than with conventional machining. In addition, Metal AM parts often end up being lighter and stronger than parts made with traditional subtractive machining processes.
A primary obstacle to the widespread use of Metal AM is the difficulty of implementing effective quality control and qualifying parts for the end users. Because of the random nature of material deposition in AM processes, parts must be continually monitored during production rather than being tested after completion to ensure cost effective production.
However, a powerful tool for this quality control and quality assurance has been developed— High Dynamic Range ( HDR) cameras. These cameras can be used in-process to monitor multiple parameters and enable the real-time adjustments required for Metal AM to be successfully productive.
For manufacturers that want to adopt Metal AM, investing in HDR camera technology will be a major step in overcoming the challenges of consistent part quality. The technology is available now, and early adopters stand to gain a significant competitive advantage.
To learn more about HDR camera technology and how it can help your company achieve the quality control and quality assurance necessary to make Metal AM a winning solution, download our whitepaper, Ensuring Quality in Metal Additive Manufacturing.

Democrat Jones Wins in Stunning Alabama Election Upset
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA - In a stunning victory aided by scandal, Democrat Doug Jones won Alabama's special Senate election on Tuesday, beating back history, an embattled Republican opponent and President Donald Trump, who urgently endorsed GOP rebel Roy Moore despite a litany of sexual misconduct allegations.
It was the first Democratic Senate victory in a quarter-century in Alabama, one of the reddest of red states, and proved anew that party loyalty is anything but sure in the age of Trump. It was a major embarrassment for the president and a fresh wound for the nation's already divided Republican Party.
The victory by Jones, a former U.S. attorney best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for Birmingham's infamous 1963 church bombing, narrows the GOP advantage in the U.S. Senate to 51-49. That imperils already-uncertain Republican tax, budget and health proposals and injects tremendous energy into the Democratic Party's early push to reclaim House and Senate majorities in 2018.
Still, many Washington Republicans viewed the defeat of Moore as perhaps the best outcome for the party nationally despite the short-term sting. The fiery Christian conservative's positions have alienated women, racial minorities, gays and Muslims - in addition to the multiple allegations that he was guilty of sexual misconduct with teens, one only 14, when he was in his 30s.
Reporters seek a comment from Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., a critic of Alabama Republican Roy Moore who is running for the Senate in a special election, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Dec. 12, 2017.
A number of Republicans declined to support him, including Alabama's long-serving Sen. Richard Shelby. But Trump lent his name and the national GOP's resources to Moore's campaign in recent days.
Had Moore won, the GOP would have been saddled with a colleague accused of sordid conduct as Republicans nationwide struggle with Trump's historically low popularity. Senate leaders had promised that Moore would have faced an immediate ethics investigation.
Jones takes over the seat previously held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The term expires in January of 2021.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have expressed hopes of scheduling a vote on their tax legislation before Jones is sworn in, but lawmakers are still struggling to devise a compromise bill to bridge the divide between the House and Senate legislation that can win majority support in both chambers.
The Republican loss also gives Democrats a clearer path to a Senate majority in 2018 - albeit a narrow one - in an election cycle where Democrats are far more optimistic about seizing control of the House of Representatives.
Ultimately, Tuesday's contest came down to which side better motivated its supporters to vote. Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said turnout likely would not exceed 25 percent of registered voters.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, center, looks at election returns with staff during an election-night watch party at the RSA activity center, Dec. 12, 2017, in Montgomery, Alabama.
Jones successfully fought to cobble together an unlikely coalition of African-Americans, liberal whites and moderate Republicans.
'This is an important time in Alabama's history, and we feel very confident where we are and how this is going to turn out,'' the Democrat said after casting his ballot Tuesday.
On the ground in Alabama on Tuesday, those who stood in line to cast their ballots were far more focused on the candidates than the broader political fallout.
Anna Atkinson walks into a polling station with her 8-year-old daughter Tori, in Gallant, Alabama, Dec. 12, 2017.
Teresa Brown, a 53-year-old administrative assistant, said she preferred Jones, in part, because he would be better positioned to work across party lines. 'We don't need a pedophile in there,'' Brown added.
She was among more than two dozen people queued up in the chilly morning air at Legion Field, a predominantly black precinct in Birmingham, to cast their ballots. Al Bright, 63, who does refrigeration repair, said he voted for Moore.
'Regardless of the allegations against him, I believe he is an honorable man,'' Bright said.
Mary Multrie, 69, who works in a children's hospital, disagreed.
'He's not a truthful man,'' 69-year-old Mary Multrie said of Moore. Multrie wasn't influenced by accusations of sexual misconduct against Moore, she said, because she already did not like him. 'He talks about God, but you don't see God in his actions.''
Moore, who largely avoided public events in the final weeks of the race and spent far less money on advertising than his opponent, bet big - and lost - on the state's traditional Republican leanings and the strength of his passionate evangelical Christian supporters.
He sidestepped questions about sexual misconduct as he arrived at his polling place on horseback.
Democrats were not supposed to have a chance in Alabama, one of the most Republican-leaning states in the nation. Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton here by nearly 28 points just 13 months ago. Yet Moore had political baggage that repelled some moderate Republicans even before allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced.
Virtually the entire Republican establishment, Trump included, supported Moore's primary opponent, Sen. Luther Strange in September. Trump's former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was one of the only early high-profile Moore backers.
Moore was removed from his position as state Supreme Court chief justice the first time after he refused to remove a boulder-sized Ten Commandments monument at the state court building. The second time, he was permanently suspended for urging state probate judges to refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
A supporter holds a sign during Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones'; election night party in Birmingham, Alabama, Dec. 12, 2017.
In his final pitch before polls opened across the state, Jones called the choice a 'crossroads'' and asked that 'decency'' prevail.
'We've had this history in the past, going down the road that ... has not been productive,'' Jones said. 'We've lagged behind in industry. We've lagged behind in education. We've lagged behind in health care. It's time we take the road that's going to get us on the path to progress.''

This past Thursday, I officially finished my general surgery residency. I had been up all night operating while I was on call one last time, and it culminated with a memorable exlap with one of my favorite attendings. It was a bittersweet moment, as I said my goodbyes to St. Joe's co-workers, resident colleagues, and attendings. I had spent the past 5 years of my life learning to become a clinician and surgeon at St. Joe's, and all I could think of was how grateful I was to have been there. I turned in my hospital badge and pager, gathered my belongings, and drove off the campus one final time.
So what's next? We look ahead to our time in Burundi, East Africa, but there are a lot of steps we'll be taking before we get there. My written board exam is coming up in a few weeks, so my days are now filled with studying, reviewing, and doing practice questions. After my exam, we fly out for our orientation and training with our sending missions organization, Samaritan's Purse. Then, we help my brother Andrew move in to his new place before he starts med school. Finally, we head to Los Angeles to move into our temporary new home, where we'll be parked for several months until we depart the US! There, we hope to find work (actively searching for locums opportunities) and focus in on learning French.
Please pray for me, Eunice, and Toby as we wrap up our time in Ann Arbor and transition to our new home in Southern California. Please pray for us as we prepare to join in on God's work in Burundi. We are thankful for all of our supporters, and hope we can meet up with many of you before we leave.

Browserify
==========

Browser-side require() for your node modules and npm packages

Just point a javascript file or two at browserify and it will walk the AST to
read all your `require()`s recursively. The resulting bundle has everything you
need, including pulling in libraries you might have installed using npm!

![browserify!](http://substack.net/images/browserify/browserify.png)

* Relative `require()`s work browser-side just as they do in node.

* Coffee script gets automatically compiled and you can register custom
  compilers of your own!

* Browser-versions of certain core node modules such as `path`, `events`, and
  `vm` are included as necessary automatically.

examples
========

simple example
--------------

server.js

````javascript
var connect = require('connect');
var server = connect.createServer();

server.use(connect.static(__dirname));
server.use(require('browserify')({
    require : __dirname + '/js/foo.js',
    mount : '/browserify.js'
}));

server.listen(9797);
console.log('Listening on 9797...');
````

js/foo.js

````javascript
var bar = require('./bar');
var baz = require('./baz');

module.exports = function (x) {
    return x * bar.coeff(x) + baz.wowsy(x);
};
````

js/bar.js

````javascript
exports.coeff = function (x) {
    return Math.log(x) / Math.log(2) + 1;
};
````

js/baz.coffee

````coffeescript
exports.wowsy = (beans) ->
    beans * 3 - 2
````

index.html

````html
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/browserify.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var foo = require('./foo');

        window.onload = function () {
            document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = foo(100);
        };
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    foo =
    <span style='font-family: monospace' id="result"></span>
</body>
</html>
````

npm example
-----------

server.js

````javascript
var connect = require('connect');
var server = connect.createServer();

server.use(connect.static(__dirname));
server.use(require('browserify')({
    mount : '/browserify.js',
    require : 'traverse',
}));

server.listen(4040);
console.log('Listening on 4040...');
````

index.html

````html
<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/browserify.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var Traverse = require('traverse');
        var obj = [ 5, 6, -3, [ 7, 8, -2, 1 ], { f : 10, g : -13 } ];
        Traverse(obj).forEach(function (x) {
            if (x < 0) this.update(x + 128);
        });

        window.onload = function () {
            document.getElementById('result').innerHTML
                = JSON.stringify(obj);
        };
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    foo =
    <span style='font-family: monospace' id="result"></span>
</body>
</html>
````

Note that you could also put the body from the second `<script>` tag into a
javascript file of its own and pass that file to the `entry` field. Such an
action would render the `require : 'traverse'` in server.js unnecessary since
browserify hunts down `require()`s from the AST.

methods
=======

````javascript
var browserify = require('browserify');
````

var b = browserify(opts={})
---------------------------

Return a middleware with attached methods that will host up a browserified
script at `opts.mount` or `"/browserify.js"` if unspecified.

`opts` may also contain these fields:

* require - calls `b.require()`
* ignore - calls `b.ignore()`
* entry - calls `b.addEntry()`
* filter - registers a "post" extension using `b.register()`
* watch - set watches on files, see below

If `opts` is a string, it is interpreted as a `require` value.

Any query string after `opts.mount` will be ignored.

### watch :: Boolean or Object

Set watches on files and automatically rebundle when a file changes.

This option defaults to false. If `opts.watch` is set to true, default watch
arguments are assumed or you can pass in an object to pass along as the second
parameter to `fs.watchFile()`.

b.bundle()
----------

Return the bundled source as a string.

b.require(file)
---------------

Require a file or files for inclusion in the bundle.

If `file` is an array, require each element in it.

If `file` is a non-array object, map an alias to a package name.
For instance to be able to map `require('jquery')` to the jquery-browserify
package, you can do:

````javascript
b.require({ jquery : 'jquery-browserify' })
````

and the same thing in middleware-form:

````javascript
browserify({ require : { jquery : 'jquery-browserify' } })
````

To mix alias objects with regular requires you could do:

````javascript
browserify({ require : [ 'seq', { jquery : 'jquery-browserify' }, 'traverse' ])
````

In practice you won't need to `b.require()` very many files since all the
`require()`s are read from each file that you require and automatically
included.

b.ignore(file)
--------------

Omit a file or files from being included by the AST walk to hunt down
`require()` statements.

b.addEntry(file)
----------------

Append a file to the end of the bundle and execute it without having to
`require()` it.

Specifying an entry point will let you `require()` other modules without having
to load the entry point in a `<script>` tag yourself.

If entry is an Array, concatenate these files together and append to the end of
the bundle.

b.filter(fn)
------------

Transform the source using the filter function `fn(src)`. The return value of
`fn` should be the new source.

b.register(ext, fn)
-------------------

Register a handler to wrap extensions.

Wrap every file matching the extension `ext` with the function `fn`.

For every `file` included into the bundle `fn` gets called for matching file
types as `fn.call(b, body, file)` for the bundle instance `b` and the file
content string `body`. `fn` should return the new wrapped contents.

If `ext` is unspecified, execute the wrapper for every file.

If `ext` is 'post', execute the wrapper on the entire bundle.

If `ext` is 'pre', call the wrapper function with the bundle object before the
source is generated.

If `ext` is an object, pull the extension from `ext.extension` and the wrapper
function `fn` from `ext.wrapper`. This makes it easy to write plugins like
[fileify](https://github.com/substack/node-fileify).

Coffee script support is just implemented internally as a `.register()`
extension:

````javascript
b.register('.coffee', function (body) {
    return coffee.compile(body);
});
````

b.use(fn)
---------

Use a middleware plugin, `fn`. `fn` is called with the instance object `b`.

b.prepend(content)
------------------

Prepend unwrapped content to the beginning of the bundle.

b.append(content)
-----------------

Append unwrapped content to the end of the bundle.

b.alias(to, from)
-----------------

Alias a package name from another package name.

b.modified
----------

Contains a Date object with the time the bundle was last modified. This field is
useful in conjunction with the `watch` field described in the `browserify()` to
generate unique `<script>` `src` values to force script reloading.

package.json
============

In order to resolve main files for projects, the package.json "main" field is
read.

If a package.json has a "browserify" field, you can override the standard "main"
behavior with something special just for browsers.

The "browserify" field can be a string that points to the browser-specific
"main" file or it can be an object with a "main" field in it.

compatability
=============

process
-------

Browserify exports a faux `process` object with these attributes:

* nextTick(fn) - does setTimeout(fn, 0)
* title - set to 'browser' for browser code, 'node' in regular node code

require('events')
-----------------

You can `require('events').EventEmitter` just like in node.js code.

require('vm')
-------------

All the goodness of node's `require('vm')` has been emulated with iframe
trickery and `eval()` hacks.

require('path')
---------------

The posix functions from the `path` module have been included except for
`exists()` and `existsSync()`. Just `require('path')`!

__dirname
---------

The faux directory name, scrubbed of true directory information so as not to
expose your filesystem organization.

__filename
----------

The faux file path, scrubbed of true path information so as not to expose your
filesystem organization.

protips
=======

* `npm install jquery-browserify` to have npm and browserify handle your jquery
deployment!

Cleaning: Business & Industry
Educated Dispenser Decisions
Using Data To Determine Dispenser Setups
Dispenser Placement, Foot Traffic Pivotal For Setup
BY Pamela Mills-Senn
It is always important to ask where the electrical and water lines are and if it is acceptable to drill into a surface. jax10289 / Shutterstock.com
Restrooms have always played an impactful role in any public space. Consider restaurants where a poorly maintained restroom can discourage customers from visiting the establishment again – or giving it a try in the first place. The thought is, "If the restroom is dirty, poorly stocked and neglected, what does that say about the kitchen and the food coming out of it?"
The same holds true for restrooms in all types of facilities. Although tenants and visitors to a building may have less choice about whether to endure or flee, impressions count and can negatively or positively influence occupancy and use. This is particularly the case in today's worried climate where handwashing has taken center stage – soap, paper towel and other dispensers are more critical than ever. Equally important is the message clean restrooms send to users about the facility's concern over their personal health, comfort and well being.
In this effort, it falls on distributors to calculate the best dispenser fit for a facility. Whether manual push/pull, electronic/motion sensor or internet of things (IoT), there's no shortage of options and designs. In some ways, the variety complicates things for distributors, whose recommendations can spell the difference between inviting, functional restrooms or those that come across as somewhat repellent. The right recommendation will determine whether custodial operations run smoothly, are cost-effective and minimize excessive waste or tenant complaints.
"Take, for example, trying to put a folded towel dispenser that holds 400 towels in a restroom at an athletic stadium that sees 500 users an hour," says Eric Cadell, vice president of Dutch Hollow Supplies in Belleville, Illinois. "That dispenser will have to be filled every 20 to 25 minutes in order to keep it full. That would require a restroom attendant in each restroom, which is not economically feasible."
On the other hand, Cadell adds, placing a high-capacity paper towel dispenser in a seldom-used restroom is also not ideal. Although there's less risk of paper towels running out, this ties up products that could be directed to a busier restroom. This also adds to costs as towels in the underused dispenser sit there, while dispensers in more active restrooms go through product more quickly.
In order to begin figuring out what dispensers will prove the best match for a facility, distributors must thoroughly investigate the location and ask questions that will narrow down the choices. Consumption data – knowing how much of a product is going to get used and how quickly – is essential, says Cadell, adding that in the absence of hard data, inquiring about the number of occupants in a building can provide a rough idea.
Bill Allen, territory manager for Fagan Sanitary Supply in West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, likes to walk through the facility, looking at what dispensers are currently in-place and getting a sense about traffic patterns and use. Obtaining honest feedback is important, particularly about what issues the facility operator may be experiencing with their current offerings.
"If someone is asking about dispensers, it is likely because that area of operations has become a concern," says Allen. In addition to involving the facility manager/operator, it is a good idea to get custodial input for frontline expertise and hands-on knowledge. When possible, Allen also likes to include the business manager for cost and budget feedback.
Along with asking about traffic patterns by floor, restroom location and hours of heaviest use, distributors should factor in the size of the labor force, how many people are taking care of the facility and if this staff is overstretched. Waste is another area to explore. Inquire about how many stub rolls are left if the current dispenser is single-use.
Gary Thiakos, president of Zepole Supply Co., Bolingbrook, Illinois, recommends asking facility operators about what is important to them. "Be sure to learn as much about their facility and business as possible," says Thiakos. "We're the ones who are relied on to provide the guidance and the right solutions, and the only way to get there is to explore, listen and learn."
Along with inquiring about concerns, budgets and objectives, Thiakos also questions the facility manager/operator about the importance of sustainability and eco-friendliness to them, as well as the expectations of those who will be using the restroom. This is particularly important since user experience can impact how they regard the facility if expectations go unmet.

Parents of children on the autism spectrum face a wide range of issues and picky eating may be one of them. The only thing every parent wants for their child is for them to grow up healthy and happy. If your child doesn't eat properly this can lead to other issues tied to malnutrition. For those dealing with autism, how do we get our children to eat properly if their autism creates finicky eaters?
There is no more precious cargo we can transport than our children. As parents, it is our job to make sure we do everything in our power to make sure they are safe. This includes any type of special needs our child may require and that includes in the car. Matching the proper car seat to our children means that they will be properly secured and safe during any trip in the car.
There are children who face trouble in verbal communication. Sometimes they are shy and at other times they just don't want to exert themselves. Parents must be aware of child's need of verbal development through various strategies. There are several ways to develop verbal skills in non-verbal children.
When we talk about autism friendly room, we are actually thinking about the complete environment and stimulus input autism friendly rooms can provide. Such room contains all the facilities and amenities that would be helpful to calm and relax an autistic child. Before designing the room, there are certain factors that need to be kept in mind.
It's not true that all children on autism spectrum are socially disconnected. They do struggle with social skills but that is because they are unable to communicate their desire in the very same way you do. They may seem shy or unfriendly.
Motor skills are the ability of an individual to successfully complete a physical task that requires the coordination of the muscles of the body. Motor skills are broadly divided into fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Running, jumping, walking, crawling, etc. are the gross motor skills whereas writing, eating, drawing, etc. are the fine motor skills.
Children on Autism Spectrum have a common habit of chewing objects. They chew because they like the sensation and stimuli they get from the behaviour. The objects could be cloths, pencils, toys or anything that they can get their hands on easily. This is a form of "Stimming" which is short for self stimulatory behaviour.

Metro and the Portland-area counties head to a fractured agreement on land use
Updated: Jan. 10, 2019, 9:23 p.m. | Published: Feb. 24, 2010, 7:38 p.m.
By Eric Mortenson, The Oregonian
Thursday is D-Day, in the Wonk World of land-use planning. That's when the Metro Council will vote on agreements with the three Portland-area counties to designate which land will be developed and which will remain rural for the next 40 to 50 years.
It's a big deal: An unprecedented attempt at regional cooperation that could bring certainty and stability to growth planning. After two years of public hearings, meetings and studies, a plan has emerged that designates 28,066 acres of urban reserves -- land where the urban growth boundary will ultimately be expanded -- and 271,516 acres of rural reserves that are set aside for farming, forestry and natural areas.
On Feb. 8, representatives of the Metro and Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties -- called the "Core Four" -- approved the reserves designations by a 4-0 vote.
That may have been the high point. Metro and the counties are alternately partners and rivals, and strongly disagree about the scope of future development and conversion of farmland.
Washington County has been far more aggressive about designating land for development than the other two, and at the beginning of the process sought 34,370 acres of urban reserves for itself. It settled for 13,567 acres -- and some critics think that's still too much.
As a result, it's likely to be a cracked package of land-use agreements that the local governments hand off to the state for final approval later this year. Complaints, appeals and even lawsuits may dog the review by state Land Conservation and Development Commission or, ultimately, a court.
The lingering disagreements have resulted in some political gamesmanship. To wit, as they say:
Metro Council President David Bragdon wants to bundle the three county agreements as one package, the better to demonstrate regional solidarity.
Clackamas County and Multnomah County, seconded by a coalition of conservationists, would prefer that Metro vote on the agreements individually. They believe their designations would pass Metro on 7-0 votes, while Washington County's reserves might pass by a weaker 5-2 vote, with councilors Robert Liberty and Rod Park opposed, or even 4-3, with Rex Burkholder joining the opposition.
Clackamas and Multnomah officials don't want their reserves designations tied to Washington County's, which they figure is more likely to be challenged at the state level. A less-than-unanimous Metro vote, they reason, might trigger a closer look by LCDC.
"We're concerned Washington County's won't hold up, and will be subject to litigation," one staff person said. "If it's separate votes, it's easier for us to stay apart from that."
In addition -- and this is where we dive into the weeds -- there is speculation that a bundled designations vote might offer some election year protection for Metro councilors. Carlotta Collette and Kathryn Harrington are up for re-election, and Burkholder is running for council president to replace Bragdon, who is term-limited out.
If the county designations are bundled, observers say, the councilors theoretically could stave off criticism by saying they had to forego reservations about individual reserves decisions to approve the package as a whole. Sort of the Tony Soprano "Whadda ya gonna do?" approach.
It's uncertain how the voting arrangement will turn out.
Meanwhile, all sides are preparing for the hearing, which begins at 2 p.m. Thursday at Metro, 600 N.E. Grand Ave., Portland.
The conservation group 1000 Friends of Oregon is urging opponents to turn out and speak up. Organizer Tara Sulzen said in an email that Washington County's proposed urban reserves "represent a noose of urbanization slowly tightening around the Tualatin Valley -- north of Cornelius; north, west, and south of Hillsboro; and around North Plains."
The Westside Economic Alliance, however, believes Washington County and its partners haven't designated nearly enough land for development.
"It's hard to be enthusiastic about this vision and future we've chosen for ourselves," Executive Director Jonathan Schlueter said. He said limited room for economic development in the Portland area will send growth to surrounding counties: Yamhill, Marion, Columbia and Clark.
"By fencing ourselves in as a region, future urban growth and opportunity will leapfrog over the donut we've created for ourselves, and we are left holding the bag and holding the bills for the region we say we want to create, with no way to pay for it," he said.

It is fascinating to read a book or bits of stories by Richard - you get more than you expect.
With passion and great expertise he writes about historical facts, people and fates. His book "Heartland - Serial Killers" was particulary interesting ... telling the story of two emigrants from Europe, male and female, whose deeds are an intriguing picture of the gaslight-era in the USA.
Talking to him (via email) was a pleasure, and I hope to meet him one day in person and talk for hours - about history and the people who made it.
Zauberspiegel: I first read about you concerning the subject of serial killers in the US, in particular the book "Heartland - Serial Killers". This book is about two victorian times serial killers: Belle Gunness and Johann Hoch. How did you get the idea of writing this book?
Richard Lindberg: I am a lifelong resident of Chicago who has been writing and publishing books about the city since 1978. I have often heard that a writer should always compose stories about that which he knows best, and I have always followed that advice. I write about Chicago because it is a wonderful "canvass" for me to paint on. It's colorful, often outrageous history populated by corrupt politicians, gangsters, rogues and assorted n'er-do-wells of every kind provides me with enough interesting material to develop and author a hundred books. Writing non-fiction for me is not so much an avocation, as it is a passion and a calling. I have written 16 books thus far, but I have always maintained a full-time job unrelated to the book projects or publishing. In 1978 when my first book came out, I was selling men's shoes in a Sears Roebuck retail store in Chicago. Today I am a Vice President in the Marketing Department of UGL Services – a commercial real estate firm. I write because I must. It is something I have done since the age of 11 when I began keeping a diary, a practice I continue to this day. But I write my books around my full-time job, meaning that there is little time for me to relax, take vacations, or enjoy other hobbies. However, as a result of writing so many volumes about Chicago crime, history, politics and sports it has made it rather difficult for me to break out of the "regional writer" label. I have not succeeded in placing my work with the large publishing houses in New York. How many times have I presented proposals to them only to have them advise me to take it to local, regional publishers in the Midwestern United States? I have lost count. "Heartland Serial Killers" continues my interest in the notorious aspects of Chicago. I was familiar with both of these characters for a long time. But a British television documentary company came to Chicago in 2007 to interview local experts about famous Chicago criminals. They asked me to comment on John Wayne Gacy and Belle Gunness. There has been so much press about the 1970s serial killer Gacy, but so little about Hoch and Gunness that an idea for a book took root. Johann Hoch was a figure lost in the vapors of history. There had never been a book before about this glib little conman and serial bigamist from Horrweiler, Germany who claimed to have invented a "scientific method" of seducing and marrying women. His criminal career was bizarre and surreal, and an idea for a book took shape. So I decided to "bookend" the more familiar story of Belle Gunness with Hoch. I also have a deep interest in the 19th century "Gaslight (Victorian) Era" of our history, and Belle and Johann lived in those times – incredibly just 60 miles apart! So I went to work immediately and began my research. I can't help but believe that a movie about Johann Hoch, if a production company would commit to do it, would be most compelling. It would be a period piece and an expensive costume drama to be sure, but here's the kicker. My research has turned up strong evidence that Hoch worked for the Chicago serial killer H.H. Holmes, the subject of Eric Larson's international best seller, "The Devil in the White City." And that is something that until the publication of my book was not previously known.
Zauberspiegel: Why did you choose these two killers? What is so special about them?
Richard Lindberg: Well, as mentioned, they committed their crimes during my favorite historical era, but more importantly their crimes mirrored the times in which they lived. The plight of unattached women living in an era of limited opportunity and the desperation of middle-aged widows with no safeguards against poverty made them vulnerable to the attractions of a suave, smooth-talking con artists like Johann Hoch with evil intentions. If they were left alone or suddenly widowed and without means, so often these women were forced by economic necessity to enroll in "marriage bureaus" with the hope of meeting and connecting with eligible bachelors with substantial incomes they were looking to marry. The prevailing hardships of the times provided Hoch with willing, but tragically naïve and trusting matrons to marry, embezzle and ultimately murder from across the U.S., and for that matter in Europe where he began his nefarious work. Belle Gunness, a contemporary of Hoch, was the flip side of the same coin – but she was what we would describe as a nesting "Black Widow." While Hoch traveled across the country in search of new victims, Gunness, a Norwegian immigrant, through the placement of notices in the Scandinavian newspapers of the day, lured roughly 30-40 men to her Indiana farm located 60 miles from Chicago, where she would steal their money, poison them, and bury their remains in her spacious farm. Amy Archer Gilligan (1873-1962), known as the "Arsenic and Old Lace" killer (she inspired the famous 1944 Hollywood movie of the same name starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra), from the State of Connecticut was the only female serial killer of that era with a higher body count than Gunness. Gilligan stacked up the coffins containing the remains of her victims in the basement of her boarding house. Also, the parallel lives of Gunness and Hoch fueled the rise of sensational "tabloid journalism," a style of writing championed by William Randolph Hearst early in the 20th Century that placed great emphasis on scandal, crime and the lurid underbelly of American life that is still very much with us today.
the reader with too many information?
Richard Lindberg: I consider myself a historian – not just a writer of grisly true crime stories. A lot of my work also covers politics and political corruption. With regard to writing crime stories, I prefer to frame my subject around broader, important historical themes, and place the subject within the context of the times in which he or she lived. When I read the work of other crime writers, the means and method of how their killers committed the crime is less important to me than the author's ability to flesh out the vivid details of circumstances of the criminal's background, where and when they lived and the times they lived in; their upbringing and their motivations. The small tidbits of personal information that an author can deliver to the reader is the "mortar between the bricks" that really juices the story. I greatly enjoy the historical period detail – a hallmark of the work of Harold Schechter of Queens College, New York and the author of "The Devil's Gentleman," the fascinating story of accused poisoner Roland Molineaux in 1899. Another terrific author of historic true crime in the States is Rose Keefe, author of "The Starker: New York City's First Gangster Boss." Rose is one of a very few women authors to specialize in this particular genre, but she is also a research historian of great note.
Zauberspiegel: What I found especially interesting was the way the women were more than willing to follow Johann Hoch. They were so eager on getting married that they seemingly did everything, provide all their money even before marriage and all. A good example of how important it was for a woman's outcome to not only have money but also a male "protector". Is there something you found peculiar about this era?
Richard Lindberg: There were few protections afforded unattached 19th Century women if they were unmarried or living alone. What choices did they have? There were no government "social security" programs to provide them with old-age income or financial security in their declining years. In those days if women worked at all, most often they were employed as low-paid domestic housekeepers, cooks, factory workers, or department store clerks. The pay was lower than what men typically earned – and those that had no work history or ability to find gainful employment would often end up on the streets. A percentage of these unfortunate women were drawn into prostitution in the commercial vice districts that flourished in the big cities at that time. The alternative of course, was to identify a would-be suitor and future husband through advertisements in newspapers and listings in marriage bureaus, which were mostly outlawed in the Chicago area following the Belle Gunness revelations.
Zauberspiegel: As I already mentioned, most of your books are on Serial Killers. "The Chicago Child Murders" eg and others more. What is so fascinating about issues of murder and crime combined with history? What is your intention, writing these books?
Richard Lindberg: I have also written books about the ethnic settlement of the City of Chicago; a pictorial narrative of the modern and historic city; a political history of the Chicago Police Department from 1855-1960; a first-ever biography of Michael C. McDonald, the powerful 19th Century gambler who built the foundation of the modern Democratic Party "machine" that has governed Chicago continuously since 1931, and now I am beginning work on an authorized history of Northeastern Illinois University, my alma mater. I strive to not become a "typecast" author who is known to focus exclusively on only one subject matter, but most often the projects I write about end up relating in some way to crime. I have learned through experience that the public is fascinated by true crime stories. Each year, I am invited to speak to numerous libraries, membership associations and other groups. Most often, my audience is composed of people over the age of 60 and they love hearing these old stories. My book "Return to the Scene of the Crime: A Guide to Infamous Places in Chicago" has sold over 21,000 copies and has gone through at least six re-prints since it was first published in 1999. I also lead annual bus tours of famous crime scenes in the city and suburbs for the Chicago History Museum. All of my tours have thus far sold out....every one of them, proving again that there is continuing interest in this subject matter. In academic circles, there is a growing recognition that the study of crime pathology and patterns of criminal behavior contribute to a deeper understanding of our culture and its people at any given moment in time. Subject matter that would not have been considered important by academic publishers 30 or 40 years ago are now warmly embraced. If I lived in Germany, the book I would most want to write would be a critical examination of crime in the time of the Third Reich. Did street crime and the so-called "victimless" crimes of prostitution and gambling flourish, or were they vigorously suppressed? What about the city homicide rates each year? Did they decline or increase during Hitler's reign compared to the Weimer Republic years for example? How were criminals dealt with by the courts during that period? I would think that would be a fascinating area of study and would bridge both the academic and popular reading markets. My most recent books, "Heartland Serial Killers," "Shattered Sense of Innocence: the Chicago Child Murders of 1955," and "The Gambler King of Clark Street: Michael C. McDonald and Rise of Chicago's Democratic Machine," were all published by university presses here in Illinois. Each volume is heavily footnoted with serious accounts of criminality that do not border on the sensational, but hopefully they have succeeded in addressing the epoch of urban history, patterns of immigrant displacement and settlement, with critical analysis of socio-economic factors.
Zauberspiegel: Did you find any differences in the way men and women murder? Or in the difference of ethnics?
Richard Lindberg: It is a given that women are less violent in the ways and means of carrying out murder than their male counterparts. Poison has been the preferred weapon of female killers down through the ages, although in violent domestic disputes between husbands and wives, a greater number of women are using handguns these days at least that is what I sense of things here in the U.S. In the early 20th Century, Belle Gunness used arsenic and a variety of plant poisons to dispatch her male victims to another world. After they were dead, she used a butcher's knife from her kitchen to cut them up and bury the severed body parts in the pig sty in back of her home.
Zauberspiegel: Are there certain things particular to the States of that time that were "necessary" to enable such serial murders?
Richard Lindberg: The enormous size of the United States in an era when communications were poor and the U.S. government did not keep track of its citizens as it does today (the Social Security card is also our national identification card), provided perfect cover for criminals traversing the open road, east to west and north to south. One could easily change his or her identification, assume aliases and move from place to place like Johann Hoch did, and avoid detection for years. There were no scientific criminal laboratories, forensic investigators and finger printing did not gain currency until after 1904 in most large urban areas of the U.S. There was little cooperation and sharing of information between police departments from different geographic regions of the country at that time. Big city detective bureaus within police departments were often riddled with graft, corruption and incompetent men who had earned their position through political entanglements, that is "having it in" with someone in an official capacity to place them in a choice job as a detective who was allowed to wander the streets at will and unaccounted for, was not assigned to a "beat," and who was not required to wear uniforms. It was as they used to say in the old days of Chicago policing, "a soft snap," meaning easy job. Even today, the serial killer is the most difficult of all criminals to identify and apprehend, simply because they do not kill people who are known to them. Imagine what it was like in that earlier era before the advent of DNA and sophisticated technology.
Zauberspiegel: These books involve a lot of research, digging actually. How long does it take you to get the background information you need for the books? Did you get in trouble with the families of the people you write about?
Richard Lindberg: Research techniques vary from project to project, depending on the era I am writing about. When I wrote "Shattered Sense of Innocence," the abduction and murder of the three adolescent boys who were coming back to their Northwest Side Chicago homes following an afternoon movie downtown, was still fresh in the memory of people who were still around from 1955. It was fairly easy for me to identify retired police officers, detectives, friends and families of the victims, and others close to the case. I left no stone unturned as they say, and even came up with a new suspect completely overlooked by the police and prosecutors in the 1950s – but a compelling suspect nevertheless who simply slipped past law enforcement. I interviewed scores of people for this book – although the parents of one of the boys who was still alive in 2003 refused to discuss it, and I respected their wishes. I grew up in the same area of the city as these three boys, although they were 10 years older than me. But I went to school with the youngest brother of one of the three, You must understand that his was a very shocking crime that we grew up hearing about in our little corner of the world and it took 40 years for an indictment to finally be handed down. Historical crime, before the span of memory, requires different procedures. The newspapers are the best primary sources to utilize. They provide an accurate roadmap of what happened, where, and to whom. Chicago newspapers are catalogued on microfilm at the main library and are easily accessible. The Chicago Tribune dating back to 1847, is available through on-line subscription. I begin there to craft the framework of the story. Next I identify all books written about the subject, both in and out of print – some of them are very obscure. Next, I try to access court records, that is, if they can be accessed and are still available. There is no central filing system in place in Chicago for court cases older than 45 years. The Internet is a resource, but generally what I find on the Internet us usually everything I have already discovered, and often the person who posts a "blog" is untrained in research technique and not a serious historian. They often get it all wrong, or publish unsubstantiated rumors or hearsay. I will scour the research libraries – the Chicago History Museum, the Newberry, The Illinois State Library. I try to leave no stone unturned, and for me at least, the discovery process is the most enjoyable aspect to writing a book.
Zauberspiegel: Is there a book that is special to you? If so, what is it about and why do you cherish it in particular?
Richard Lindberg: The book that is most special to me (and in some ways most painful), is one that has nothing to do with true crime. It is my memoir of my Swedish immigrant father, a tragic family secret he carried with him to the grave, and growing up as a first generation Swedish-American in a divorced household in Chicago. It is titled "Whiskey Breakfast: My Swedish Family My American Life," and was published in September 2011 by the University of Minnesota Press in paperback. It is a book that was 22 years in the making, and it is a painful look back at my father Oscar Lindberg's alcoholism, his broken marriages and the shattered lives of the people he left behind. Oscar was born in 1897. I was born in 1953, to give you an idea of the generational difference between us. The book title I conceived in 1989, refers to the cocktails he would drink at 11:00 in the morning to start his business day. An avowed socialist and left wing radical trade unionist in Mother Sweden, he came to America in 1924 and became a wealthy builder of luxury homes and a successful capitalist, but he had little time to spare for his two American-born children, my half-brother Charles and I. I found out much later that he had sired two other children to two unwed mothers in Sweden – abandoned them and never saw them before he fled to the U.S. to avoid the military draft and the obligations of fatherhood which the Swedish authorities were holding him accountable for. (Both children died in early childhood). This book is mostly about the Sweden-to-America epic; a multi-generational immigrant saga spanning over 100 years, hard times and lessons learned. "Whiskey Breakfast" has been highly praised by Publisher's Weekly and the Kirkus Reviews, and those who have read it have compared the real-life characters described in my book to the many villains, bounders and tender-hearted folk portrayed by Charles Dickens in his wonderful works of literature. To have this book called "Dickensian" by any stretch of the imagination is perhaps the highest compliment and honor anyone has ever bestowed upon my work.


Stephen Meyer received his Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. He has authored the New York Times best seller Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design (2013), as well as, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (2009), which was named a "Book of the Year" by The Times of London Literary Supplement in 2009.
In his first book on intelligent design, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (2009) Meyer examined the mystery of the origin of the first life. With Darwin's Doubt, he has expanded the scope of the case for intelligent design to the whole sweep of life's history. Meyer's research addresses the deepest mystery surrounding the origin of life and the origin of animal life: the origin of biological information necessary to produce it.
He returned to Whitworth in the fall of 1990 to teach philosophy and the philosophy of science. He left a tenured position as a professor at Whitworth in 2002 to direct the Center for Science and Culture full time, which he had helped found with John West in 1996.
Prior to the publication of Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, the writing for which Meyer was best known was an August 2004 review essay in the Smithsonian Institution affiliated peer-reviewed biology journal Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. The article laid out the evidential case for intelligent design, presenting it as the best explanation for the origin of the biological information necessary to produce the new forms of animal life that arose abruptly during the Cambrian explosion.
Because the article was the first peer-reviewed publication arguing for intelligent design in a technical journal, it proved extremely controversial. The journal's editor, evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, was punished by his Smithsonian supervisors for allowing Meyer's article into print. This led to the investigation of top Smithsonian personnel by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. The controversy was widely covered in the media with articles or news stories appearing about it in The Wall Street Journal, Science, Nature, NPR, The O'Reilly Factor and the Washington Post. The federal investigation eventually concluded that Sternberg had been wrongly disciplined and intimidated.
Meyer's many other publications include ten chapter contributions to the 2015 collection of essays Debating Darwin's Doubt as well as contributions to, and the editing of, the peer- reviewed volume Darwinism, Design and Public Education (2004) and the innovative textbook Explore Evolution (2007).
Meyer has also published editorials in national newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The National Post (of Canada), The Daily Telegraph (of London) and The Los Angeles Times. He has appeared on national television and radio programs such as The Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC Nightly News, ABC Nightly News, CBS Sunday Morning, Nightline, Fox News Live, Paula Zahn Now (CNN), Good Morning America, and The Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. He has also been featured in two New York Times front-page stories and has garnered attention in other top national media.
In 2008, he appeared with Ben Stein in the theatrical-released documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. He has also been featured prominently in the science documentaries Icons of Evolution, The Case for a Creator, Darwin's Dilemma, and Unlocking The Mystery of Life, the latter which was shown on PBS and which Meyer co-wrote with producer Lad Allen.


I am interested in the outdoors and people, specifically kids. I am inspired by the idea that I live my life in a way that I can be proud of what I achieved and the person I am. I was born in Kailua, Hawaii where I lived until I was ten. Now I am a junior at East Chapel Hill High in Chapel Hill, North Carolina where I am part of the Social Justice Academy. I also swim and work at the farmers market.
My project will launch a tutoring and mentoring program between high school students who are native English speakers with students in my hometown to foster lasting friendships across cultures.

Implementing a Plastic Bag Fee for South Bend
Breck Ashdown
Why look into a plastic bag fee?
Plastic bags affect the environment in a broad sense but also locally. Implementing this fee would reduce plastic bag usage, and increase revenue to benefit the South Bend community.
Goal: Implement a city-wide plastic bag fee with proceeds put toward the South Bend School Corporation.
Understanding the Effects of Plastic Bags on the Environment and Community:
Council-member Dr. Fred Ferlic, a council member for the city of South Bend as well as a physician with South Bend Orthopedics.
Clare Mundy, a member of Mayor Buttigieg's staff
Jerry Rodgers, Martin's Grocery Store Manager
Charles Allen, Chief of Staff for Council Member Tommy Wells
Catherine Flatley, Notre Dame student starting her own grocery store
Dean Colin Meissner
Bag It!
The Majestic Bag: A Mockumentary
Problems from the Plastic Bag
Plastic bags are harming both land and especially marine ecosystems. About 100,000 sea turtles die every year due to plastic pollution as well as over 1 million birds. The plastic bags polluting the Pacific Ocean specifically are causing widespread issues covering areas as large as 5,800,000 square miles, an area about three times the size of Texas.
The nature of plastic bags is to photodegrade, not biodegrade, meaning they break into smaller pieces but never decompose. Even after 20 years the smaller polymers that used to make up the bag remain harmful to the environment. Once broken down into polymers and petro-polymers, they are ingested by marine life.
How are other areas working to solve these problems?
Numerous U.S. cities have either placed a fee on plastic bags but some have even gone as far as banning them.Multiple foreign countries have also taken these actions.
South Bend School Corporation Student
How would South Bend benefit from implementing a plastic bag fee?
The South Bend School Corporation would greatly benefit from being able to use the proceeds of the plastic bag fee. There are areas within the corporation that lack the necessary funding. The extra funds would improve these areas as well as encourage higher test scores in areas that students in the school district generally score below state averages.
Implementing a plastic bag fee is feasible and attainable. There is success across the country as well as internationally with these types of fees. The fee would raise awareness of the plastic pollution issues, raise funds for South Bend, and is a step toward a cleaner environment.

The 1996 election and the 2016 elections; staggering similarities of government party and actions towards the opposition! The difference now is Besigye VS M7; then it was Ssemogerere VS M7!
As President Museveni lost with no swagger in 1980 he later returned twice with armies to become the president in 1986. The 1986 where NRA took the power; that story knows all of Uganda well; what Uganda has forgotten is the tactics and ways of rigging the elections of 1996. Even Dr. Kizza Besigye was ready for somebody else in 1996. That says something as the NRM tactics was using levels of fear and tell the general public: "if you vote for somebody else then the Obote-Dictatorship will return!" There is something wrong with that picture as this should be the ushering of democratic values that was installed and promised in the 10 Point Program from President Museveni. This was also the Election that ushered in the Universal Primary Election (UPE) while has done certain things with educations and spreading schools around the country, after many years to many of them has been neglected and has shown that the promise and reform was easier then actually achieving quality school education under the NRM-Regime.
The democratic values and fair elections were not achieved in 1996. As the countless reforms says. The Western nations and International Organizations accepted the result as a positive move for Uganda, even with the malpractices and also because still at this time the world saw President Museveni as the new breed of leadership. He would go away from all the things he might have built later in his presidential career. 1996 Elections was "No-Party" election with a new Interim Electoral Commission who was far from impartial. Kind of what the Electoral Commission proves without any subtlety in today's election climate.
Besigye against Museveni candidature in 1996:
"Though Besigye was a National Political Commissar, minister and Museveni confidant, by 1996 – as his 1995 decision, and that of other officers like now Lt. Gen. David Tinyefuza and the late Lt. Col. Serwanga Lwanga to oppose entrenching the Movement's monopoly of power in the constitution and the near-banning of political parties – the differences were public" (…)"However, it has now emerged that Besigye and other people in the NRM and army in 1996 were opposed to Museveni running as the Movement presidential candidate" (…)"In 1996 Besigye relented at the last minute to go and campaign for Museveni in Rukungiri. He appeared at no more than two rallies, and spoke at one. The very personal and acrimonious face off between the two men last year therefore arose from a feud that had been simmering for about 10 years" (COO, 2002).
How not to vote for Ssemogerere:
"The Constant refrain during Museveni's 1996 presidential campaign was that a vote for his opponents would cause a return to the past, the former dictator Milton Obote was waiting in Zambia to return to power if Museveni was defeated. One of Museveni's presidential election poster featured a picture of skulls and bones besides a mass grave in Luwero with the caption: "Don't forget the past. Over one million Ugandans, our brothers, sisters, family and friends, lost their lives. YOUR VOTE COULD BRING IT BACK"; another campaign advertisement stated bluntly: "A vote for Ssemogerere is a vote for Obote" (Bouckaer, 1999).
How the sentiment was during the campaign:
"Ssemogerere seems to have hugely underestimated the depth of fear and hatred for Obote and his party among the majority of Buganda. Virtually everyone interviewed who had voted for Museveni emphasized that they had voted in part to avoid any chance of a return to the violence and anarchy of the early 1980s. The effect of Ssemogerere alliance with UPC, however, does not seem to have been intimidating. Most people felt shift in sentiment against Ssemogerere in the last two months prior to the election. The Museveni campaign strategy of increasingly emphasizing the UPC and Obote connection towards the end of the campaign period was felt to been effective" (IFES, 1996).
Museveni used the laws to stifle Ssemogerere campaign:
"The Ssemogerere camp tried to set up branches in the country. This ran foul of the law against setting up party structures. The police constantly frustrated this method of trying to reach the voters. There was a simpler and more effective method used by the Museveni camp. It is simply to announce campaign task forces and groups for given locations. While Ssemogerere was attempting to organise by "structure", Museveni was organising by "process". The former violated the existing law; the latter did not. The task force approach recognises the criticality of patrons who mediate the delivery of the votes of their peasant flock. In this approach it is not direct contact with voters, which is not feasible in backward areas with all forms of barriers (language), but contact with the patrons who go through lesser nested patrons to reach the final voters. Yoweri Museveni set up a more effective patron–client campaign network than Ssemogerere's party structure approach" (Kotorobo, 2000).
How it ended:
"Hours after the Interim Electoral Commission (IEC) led by Stephen Akabway had announced provisional results on May 10; the IPFC candidate Ssemogerere dismissed them as false at a press conference at IPFC headquarters in Kabusu, Kampala. Ssemogerere said: "I cannot accept these results as valid". The New Vision, The Monitor, as well as the Crusader newspapers of the following day, quoted him as having said. "I have been a patient person in public life. I thought this was the best thing for this country. I have spent time with people I don't agree with for the sake of democracy. I have not known time before or after independence, when people of different political beliefs, religions and nationalities have come together for once. Now all this has been shattered by the stubbornness of [Yoweri Museveni] wanting to cling to power," he added. During the press conference, Ssemogerere also revealed 54 cases of malpractices recorded by DP across the country. The 64-year-old DP stalwart said rigging of votes included intimidation of voters by the State, use of pre-ticked ballot papers, use of fake voter's cards and doctored voter registers" (Mugabe, 2016).
Questionable freedom of speech during the 1996 campaign:
"The Government controls one television station and the radio station with the largest audience. There are three local television stations, three local radio stations, and five stations available by satellite. Uncensored Internet access became widely available through three commercial service providers in major cities, although its price was prohibitive for all but the most affluent noninstitutional users. Freedom of speech did not fare well in the context of the transition to constitutional government, including the presidential and parliamentary elections. Guidelines imposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs prevented members of the former constituent assembly from addressing groups outside their constituencies. Electoral rules prohibited "campaigning" by presidential challengers until the official start of the campaign 39 days before the election. However, in their official capacity, President Museveni and senior members of the Government were free to travel throughout the country for months prior to the election. Rallies in support of all three presidential candidates suffered varying levels of harassment from thugs, in some cases resulting in physical injuries. It appeared, however, that such incidents were particularly directed at President Museveni's opponents. Yusef Nsubuga Nsambu, a leader of the Conservative party and a supporter of presidential challenger Dr. Paul Ssemogerere, was arrested in May and charged with sedition for his unflattering descriptions of President Museveni. He was released unharmed 2 days later" (U.S. Department of State, 1997).
Celebrating the victory:
"KAMPALA, UGANDA — Thousands of President Yoweri Museveni's supporters drove through the capital honking car horns and chanting "No change" Saturday to celebrate his first electoral victory" (…)"When Museveni was declared the winner on national radio Saturday, tens of thousands of his supporters poured onto Kampala's streets, chanting "No change" in the local Luganda language, blasting car horns, and waving branches and flags" (Bashor, 1996).
One reason why he won the 1996 Election:
"Not all NRM successes showed the system's popularity. The government manipulated small constituencies to gain beholden candidates in many special interest seats created by the 1995 constitution for women, youth, workers, the disabled and the army" (ICG, 2012).
Reports of malfunctions during the 1996 elections:
""The election drew a lower turnout than expected and suffered some logistical problems, but Ugandans generally avoided widely feared violence" (…)"Many of the country's 8.4 million voters stayed away from the polls, and in many districts, turnout hovered around 50 percent. Logistical problems also hampered voting. At numerous polling stations, Ugandans complained that their names were not on the list of registered voters. "We have waited for hours, and we cannot vote," said Patrick Nuwgaba, 20, surrounded by about 20 people who said they had been barred from voting. "We have our voter cards, but they say the numbers we have don't match the numbers they have for us." Despite those problems, calm prevailed around the country. Election observers reported, however, that in some pro-Museveni districts, especially in western Uganda, Ssemogerere backers had difficulty voting because of hostile crowds" (Buckley, 1996).
Questions about the victory:
"Within 24-hours of voting — and while the ballot papers were still being counted — the Inter Political Forces Cooperation (IPFC) backing the main opposition candidate Ssemogerere, announced that the constitutionally imposed "no-party" elections had been rigged" (…)"We have left it up to individuals to decide whether to stand," Ssemogerere told IPS. "The electoral process is wrong and its going to be wrong again. If anyone stands they should know it will be with those disadvantages." (…)"The IPFC's compromise decision was reminiscent for some people of the 1980 elections in which the UPC are widely believed to have cheated the DP of victory — leaving Ssemogerere open to accusations of legitimising the government when he then took up position as leader of the opposition" (…)"Museveni was backed by, and represented his Movement "no- party" system of government while Ssemogerere was supported by the DP and UPC alliance and represented a return to multi-party politics — a return which would have required a change to the constitution" (Bozello, 1996).
As we see about this Dr. Kizza Besigye and other opposition candidates get the same treatment that Dr. Paul Ssemogerere of Democratic Party in 1996. The vote-rigging, the issues with meeting people, with consulting the party members in the districts, the time for campaigning which apparently happens also before the pre-election period in Uganda in 2015. President Museveni doesn't only recycle pledges his Police acts similar in 2015 as in 1996. That should be thought of as he talks of that the Movement brings progress. If progress means the same structure that doesn't offer people freedom or liberty to discuss politics. Then it is NRM for you tomorrow. As the 1996 experience shows; there is a multi-party elections tomorrow, but the signs of 1996 looks strikingly similar, and the Police Force and Governmental institutions is structured to facilitate for the ruling party and funding his campaign while the opposition struggles with unleveled campaigning field that has been all through to the 18th Feburary polls. There is a certainty that Dr. Kizza Besigye has used smarter tactics than Dr. Paul Ssemogerere, but them both has fought the same monster which used the same style of campaigning in 2015-2016 as before the 1996, as he then gave 40 days campaigning as the districts was less, and the same now to the other candidates.
The fear used to intimidate candidates has been used in 2016. As even the security outfits has been deployed and both the army and Special Forces Command; they have been there following opposition and the police has target their trail as the Electoral Commission has given okay to their campaign trail in the start of the campaign in November 2015. This here shows the levels of fear and strong militarized politics that President Museveni feeds on; that has occurred through the whole campaign in the same way it did in 1996. That 2016 and 1996 looks so alike is staggering. The names of the other "actors" are different, but the end-game is the same. Though we hope that the people who are ready for change will see it as the old-man with the hat will do what he can to keep power; even if the people are ready for something else then his empty promises. Peace.

A friend of mine was asking if I knew of any places in London where you can trade an old bike in, for cash monies, to save on the hassle of selling it yourself. Anyone got an suggestions? Is there such a thing?
I know Evans will do it for another bike but he needs rid for dollar.
Why dont stick it to classifieds?
But really he should sell it direct to a buyer. So gumtree, ebay or classifieds in a place like this. If desperate he could just mill about a car boot sale. Any shop will give a really poor price, any shop that buys bikes like this will assume it is stolen, and not care - because they are the kind of place that supports theft. So really, sell direct.
I'm interested in the wheels if you'll split?

Marvel, NCsoft settle lawsuit
No changes to City of Heroes.
News by Ellie Gibson Contributor
NCsoft has settled its lawsuit with Marvel Entertainment in a deal which will not force the publisher to make any changes to its popular PC MMORPG, City of Heroes, after all.
Marvel filed suit against NCsoft last November, claiming that CoH players were creating characters in the likeness of Marvel superheroes and thereby infringing copyright. It marked the first time a publisher had been sued over content created by players and, had Marvel won the case, could have set an important precedent.
But under the terms of the undisclosed settlement, NCsoft is not required to make any changes to the character creation options in City of Heroes or its expansion, City of Villains.
"The parties' settlement allows them all to continue to develop and sell exciting and innovative products, but does not reduce the players' ability to express their creativity in making and playing original and exciting characters," NCsoft said in a statement.
"The parties have agreed that protecting intellectual property rights is critically important and each will continue aggressively to protect such rights in accordance with all applicable laws.
"All parties agree that this case was never about monetary issues and that the fans of their respective products and characters are the winners in this settlement."
