Blackheath is home to a variety of London's affluent residents. It's situated close to Canary Wharf, an economic powerhouse due to its strong ties to the finance industry.
The area itself is perfectly suited to people who enjoy being close to an array of cultural touch-points from its range of theatres and museums, as well as the green expanse of the Heath and proximity to Greenwich.


Jig hooks help your fly swim hook point up, and avoid snagging the bottom or dulling the hook point.
Some new techniques and materials come onto the fly-tying scene with a bang, and others just materialize slowly over time, becoming more and more common until one day you look at something and say "Where the heck did that come from, and why didn't I notice it earlier?"
Using jig hooks for flies has been around for a long time now, but there has certainly been a surge in their popularity in just the past few years. It seems this is one more thing the rest of us borrowed from the international competitive fly-fishing crowd, where beadhead flies with jig hooks have been trophy winners for quite a number of years.
When I think of competitive fishing and flies tied on jig hooks, one Western angler immediately jumps to my mind and that is Utah's own Lance Egan. Lance is a longstanding member of Team USA and one of our country's few medal winners in international competition. He's also the host of the Fly Fisherman instructional DVD series Nymphing Foundations and Expert Tactics (flyfisherman.com/store). He's also a signature tier for Umpqua Feather Merchants, and because of that, his flies haven't just impacted the competitive circuit, they have impacted the fly-tying minds of every fly fisher who browses through a fly shop.
Lance is an incredibly humble guy in a world where he has every right to brag. A self-described fly-fishing junkie, Lance never passes up a chance to learn a new technique or hone his skills on any given piece of water, and his track record in competition speaks to this.
With this in mind, I called Lance to get his insights and thoughts on the jig hooks we're seeing today, and his answers were thoughtful and clearly practiced. Lance explained that one of the most obvious advantages of jig hooks is that they ride hook point up, and resist snagging on the bottom, a consideration of large importance for competitive anglers. Losing flies costs precious time in competitions, so anything that can keep you fishing and not re-rigging is a big advantage.
Lance went on though, to explain that the biggest advantage of jig nymphs is that they reliably hook the fish right in the tip of the snout, rather than in the bottom jaw or side of the mouth. He says this is a better spot for barbless hooks, because it better allows you to direct and lead the fish and quickly land them, "like a bull with a nose ring."
I can't say that I ever thought of that particular advantage on my own, but once Lance brought it up, a string of memories flashed through my brain and you know . . . he's right. I would have guessed that the long, barbless points of these competition hooks simply penetrated deeper and held better than conventional hooks, but after considering Lance's view, I'd have to agree. The corner of the jaw is secure, but with a big fish in particular, it leaves a lot of fight in the fish because the trout can turn its head and use the current to its advantage.
Lance ties his patterns with tungsten beads and typically weights them with lead wire as well to keep them tight to the bottom. His Frenchie and Iron Lotus patterns are both on jig hooks so I asked him to expound a bit on their designs. While the Frenchie is tied "in the round," that is, the same when viewed from any angle and lacking a wingcase or definite topside, the Iron Lotus sports a wingcase on the top of the shank.
When I questioned him about why he would tie the fly upside down like this, he explained that the fly doesn't always hang precisely horizontal but rather at a bit of an angle, and tying the fly with the wingcase on the top of the shank shows it directly to the fish as the fly drifts. I think this guy may have fins.
Egan told me the only disadvantage he's seen using jig hooks was when fishing streamers, specifically in lakes, with a fast retrieve. Dead drifting or slow retrieves seem to get regular hook-ups, but he notices a distinct drop-off in hook-ups when fast stripping the fly. Perhaps there's something to the upright angle of the hook eye that prohibits the fish from getting pinned on a fast retrieve, or perhaps Egan just has bad luck, but I'd bet he will have this puzzle figured out long before the rest of us even find the pieces.
Charlie Craven co-owns Charlie's Fly Box in Arvada, Colorado, and is the author of Charlie's Fly Box (Stackpole Books, 2011). He is also the featured tier in two new Fly Fisherman DVDs: Warmwater Fly Tying and Saltwater Fly Tying, available at flyfisherman.com/store.

Discover our top 10 secrets of Norfolk
Of course we're very proud of the fantastic visitor offering we have in Norfolk and will happily tell you about it until the cows come home. But then there are some other tucked-away spots that you may not have known about and get less attention. Here are some of our favourites…
Deep History Coast
You've heard about the Jurassic Coast, but what about Deep History Coast? That's the name given to a stretch of Norfolk coast from West Runton to Happisburgh where some amazing prehistoric discoveries have been made.
The youngest of them is a 500,000 year old flint axe, the Swiss Army knife of its day. Then there's a 650,000 year old mammoth skeleton – the oldest and best-preserved in the world. And then, the piece de resistance – 850,000 year old human footprints, the earliest evidence of man found outside the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
As coastal erosion continues and Winter storms expose cliff faces, who knows what more prehistoric secrets will be found…
Priest Hole, Oxburgh Hall
The Bedingfield family have lived at Oxburgh since 1482 and have come through a few sticky moments, not least during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and the Civil War. Under the Virgin Queen Catholics were persecuted mercilessly and priests often imprisoned, tortured and even killed. But the Bedingfields were resolute in their faith and sheltered Jesuit priests from anti-Catholic search parties in a secret priest hole that you can still get in today… although it's a tight squeeze!
Sticking with Catholic persecution, Oxburgh holds another secret. You can see the Marian Hangings, embroideries made between 1569 and 1585 by an imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth Talbot, whose husband was Mary's jailer. The motifs expressed Mary's innermost thoughts, at a time when written correspondence was being monitored by her captors.
Oxburgh also has secret doors that let servants move around the house without coming into contact with the family and their guests.
Oxburgh Hall
Mausoleum, Blickling Hall
Who knew that Norfolk has its own rival to the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo? If you explore the walking paths of Blickling you might stumble upon the pyramidical shape of the Mausoleum of the 2nd Earl of Buckingham.
This is also the ancestral home of the Boleyn family and Blickling church hosts an excellent Escape Game concerning getting Anne Boleyn to the altar to marry Henry VIII. Although, bearing in mind how that turned out...
Undercrofts, Norwich
As well as having subterranean chalk mines, the city also has many undercrofts or vaults. The Undercroft arts venue is under the Memorial Gardens between City Hall and the market place and was once used as storage by the traders. The Assembly House has plans to refurbish its vault and at the Merchant's Vault underneath the Museum of Norwich at Bridewell Alley you can take part in a historical escape game organised by History Mystery.
Graffiti, Norwich Cathedral
Imagine it today – carving graffiti in the walls of Norwich Cathedral and nobody minding! Heaven forfend. But it seems the medieval folk of Norwich thought nothing of making inscriptions on the Caen stone of the magnificent Norman building, all the way back to the masons who started construction in 1096. They carved petal-shaped designs to ward off bad spirits.
Volunteers from the Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey discovered pious exhortations, musical pieces, medieval ships, animals, and even supernatural curses and slanders. Apparently the good people of Norwich in the Middle Ages thought nothing of carving the stones.
In the nave discover the outline of a ship being pursued by an enormous open-mouthed whale! And if you can find text carved upside down it was probably done as a curse – in ancient times, inverting things was to wish bad upon them. The church would have frowned upon that!
Norwich Cathedral top 12
Despenser Retable, Norwich Cathedral
Sticking with the cathedral you can find the Despenser Retable – now on display but for 204 years hidden in plain sight! In 1643 with the Puritans about to ransack the Cathedral, quick-thinking wardens turned the painting upside down and used it as a table. Celebrating the defeat of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt by Bishop Henry Despenser, this altarpiece is Norfolk's greatest surviving painted treasure, but was only rediscovered in 1847 – perhaps by someone playing hide and seek!
Norfolk's best art
Secret beaches
You know that on Norfolk's 90 miles of coastline we have some outstanding beaches, not least Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Brancaster.
But tucked away down quiet lanes or by trekking a little through the dunes, you can find some fine stretches of sand that you might have just to yourselves. One of them's even called California!
Chalk reef - our Great Barrier Reef
Unless you're a diver it's unlikely you'll ever experience the world's longest chalk reef that is just off the shore at from Cley-next-the-Sea to beyond Cromer. Yes, we have our own version of the Great Barrier Reef!
The reef is made up of gullies and arches, providing a natural environment for a huge variety of sealife, including species that have never before been recorded on the East Anglian coast: the blush-red strawberry anemone, Atlantic ancula sea slug, leopard spotted goby and 'smiling' tompot blenny fish.
There is one way to experience something of the reef though - have a Cromer crab. We think they're the tastiest and most succulent in the British Isles because they feed off the reef.
Chalk reef
King John's Crown Jewels, The Wash
Okay, it's unlikely that you'll find Bad King John's lost Crown Jewels that were lost in The Wash after his baggage train got mired in mud and an incoming tide took them for ever, but it's a good excuse to explore this amazing part of Norfolk.
The Wash and surrounding Fens is a unique landscape teeming with wildlife, particularly waders and migrating birds and common seals. About 20kms wide and 30kms long, this shallow bay that opens to the North Sea is the largest estuary system in the UK, with muddy tidal creeks, saltmarshes, shingle banks, mudflats and more.
In King's Lynn town centre you'll discover a life-size bronze statue to the king looking out to the River Great Ouse – probably wondering where his jewels are.
Birdwatching in Norfolk
Hidden Holkham
Less a secret, but more of a disguise. Who knew that in the 2018 film Annihilation, based on an Alex Garland best-seller and starring Natalie Portman, was filmed at Holkham beach? And many other times the beach at Holkham, voted the best in Britain, has been disguised as somewhere else... such as Virginia in Shakespeare in Love.

Buying a new mattress can enable thousands of nights of restful, rejuvenating sleep. On the other hand, it can also just as easily lead to frustration and regret. Thinking intently about a mattress that might initially seem like an excellent candidate will always be advisable. Fortunately, there are now a variety of resources online that shoppers can use to help make the purchasing process easier.
Firmness. From pillowy, cloud-like mattresses to far firmer ones, mattresses range quite widely in terms of their overall feel. Generally speaking, people who incline toward sleeping on their backs will want to choose firmer mattresses than those who opt for other positions. At the same time, personal preferences always need to be taken into account, as well, as do details like weight and overall body type. Fortunately, most people will find that a mattress that lines up somewhere near the middle of the firmness scale will suit their situations well.
Support. The way that a mattress feels, in general, does not always correlate precisely with how much support it actually provides. A mattress with an especially cushy top layer might feel fairly soft but actually provide a great deal of support once it is deformed beyond certain limits. As a result, most manufacturers will characterize their products with regard to both the subjective feeling of firmness and the objective, measurable level of support. Just about everyone will want a mattress that ranks fairly high in the latter respect, with particular issues like chronic back problems making this even more important.
Simply thinking specifically about issues like these will make it much easier to choose an especially appropriate mattress. In many cases, it will become quite clear early on that certain models stand out in these respects above others.

One of my favorite moments in SF history is Theodore Sturgeon's decision to rewrite his 1947 story "Maturity," which had already been published in Astounding Science Fiction.
As detailed in Microcosmic God: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, Volume II, this doesn't mean SF authors before Sturgeon failed to rewrite their stories. Of course many of them did – PRIOR to publication. However, once a story was published, there wasn't a financial or professional incentive for further rewrites. Due to the low pay and prestige of the pulp markets, authors often cranked out stories as fast as they could. Going back to rewrite a story which had already earned a paycheck was not something your average authors considered doing.
However, Sturgeon wasn't your average writer. Already known as one of the genre's "master wordsmiths," Sturgeon took extreme care with his stories and was extremely irritated when a story didn't work out as he'd intended – or worse, when an editor made random edits to fit a magazine's style. For example, Sturgeon quickly learned that editor H. L. Gold of Galaxy Science Fiction continually made bad edits to his stories. As a result, when he submitted to Gold he wrote the word STET – the editorial term for letting the copy stand as is – across the margins of each page of his submissions.
But before Sturgeon worked with Galaxy, he published stories like "Maturity" in Astounding. Sturgeon wasn't satisfied with the story and, when he learned it would be reprinted in an anthology, rewrote it. Nevermind that this didn't earn him much, if any, more money. He wanted the story to be the way he wanted it.
Word soon spread in the SF community that one of the genre's best writers had rewritten an already published story. SF fans began comparing the original story to the rewritten version, trying to understand what made Sturgeon rewrite it. His rewrite was debated in fanzines and by word of mouth, and the entire genre was the better for it.
To read more about this, go to Microcosmic Gods on Google Books. Be sure to also read the following page, which describes how many SF writers of the time promoted a false belief that they never rewrote their stories. Instead, they proudly proclaimed, "It all comes out first draft." Sturgeon's famous rewrite was one major step in changing this sense of false bravado in the SF genre.

Gas Turbines as Ships Main Engines
Naval Architecture & Ship Design for Marine Engineers / By Willie Scott / Marine Engineering
We are all used to seeing jet aircraft being driven by gas turbines, but they can also be used as the main engine to propel ships. Gas turbines have been used to propel ships for over forty years, being commercially developed to drive the warship and merchant fleets of all nations. The big advantage of gas turbines over conventional steam turbine or marine diesel main engines is their excellent power to weight ratio.
However the rising costs of fuel has made many ships companies revert back to the marine diesel engine running on heavy fuel oil. In the following sections we shall examine how a gas turbine operates and how it is used to propel modern ships. The first sections provide a look at the components that make up the gas turbine.
A gas turbine with an output drive shaft is made up of three components.
An air compressor
The combustion chamber
The gas turbine
Air Compressor -The air is supplied by an air pretreatment unit comprising of a silencer, an air filter, and an air cooler. The ambient air is drawn through these items of equipment before entering the air compressor. This describes a "multi-stage axial flow air compressor" that compresses the air to high pressure and temperature.
Combustion Chamber -This chamber is situated between the air compressor and the turbine and supplied with gas or diesel oil and the high pressure air. There are numerous fuel nozzles arranged around the combustion chamber, along with two high intensity spark igniters.
Turbine – The hot exhaust gas from the combustion chamber drives the turbine, which is normally of two stage design.
Operation of the Gas Turbine
The unit is rotated using a system like a car engine starter on the drive shaft. Once it is up to operating speed, the gas is introduced to the combustion chamber where it is fired by spark ignition. This further rotates the turbine and the air compressor on the opposite end of the shaft. This compressor draws in air through the silencer and air cooler filter unit, compressing it up to 30 bar before discharging this now high pressure hot air into the combustion chamber and completing the gas turbine sequence, driving the shaft at optimum speed of 3600 revs/min.
Gas Turbine as a Ship's Main Engine
In gas turbine driven ships, the conventional gas turbine is combined with a power turbine which provides the power to the ships propeller. This system of ship propulsion is known as a "split-shaft gas turbine."
The gas turbine drive shaft contains the turbine starter and the auxiliary pumps drives for the different systems. Hot exhaust gasses from the gas turbine are fed into the power turbine.
Power Turbine
The power turbine is much slower running than the gas turbine. It has blades and rotors shaped as nozzles similar to that of a normal steam turbine. The power turbine output shaft connects by coupling to the gearbox incorporating a clutch which is used to engage/disengage the drive. The drive shaft exits the gearbox at the revolutions required by either a fixed or variable pitch propeller.
The ship is maneuvered either using the clutch and an ahead/astern gearbox or a variable pitch propeller.
A split shaft gas turbine engine room is much smaller than the normal ship's engine room, but still contains the fuel and lube oil systems with the associated auxiliary pumps, filters and coolers.
One such system is shown below.

World News & Views UPDATE: Haitians protect Aristide from attack on Lavalas
UPDATE: Haitians protect Aristide from attack on Lavalas
by Malaika Kambon
In what is clearly a continuation of the Feb. 29, 2004, U.S. instigated coup d'etat against Haiti, former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has been called before Martelly's handpicked government prosecutor Lucmane Delille in what is widely believed to be an attempt by Martelly, the U.S. and France to wage a campaign of political persecution against Aristide, Fanmi Lavalas, and the democratic process and progress in Haiti.
Aware that the present Haitian government has ordered the arrest of 21 members of Lavalas following large demonstrations on Dec. 16, 2012, against Martelly's rule, the Haitian people have cause to suspect the political motivation behind attempts to bring Dr. Aristide to court without charge. Additionally, other Lavalas leaders, protesting the arrests, have themselves been called into court arbitrarily.
The masses of the Haitian people are outraged at this latest conspiracy to both tarnish the reputation of Dr. Aristide and further marginalize Fanmi Lavalas, the most popular political party in Haiti, from the electoral process.
In fact, it is the opinion in Haiti that this latest attack is an attempt on the part of the U.N. MINUSTAH forces to mask their failure to improve the lives of the Haitian people, which have deteriorated significantly under the aegis of the U.N., U.S., Canada and France. Thus it is more convenient to again blame their wrongdoing on Dr. Aristide.
The latest word is that court proceedings were postponed until Wednesday of next week, due to the massive numbers of Haitian people at the courthouse and around Dr. Aristide's home.

U.S. issues Haiti travel warning: How dare they!
In the wake of the Obama administration's gaffe in their attempt to replace the bloodied hands of Hilary Rodham Clinton with the bloodied hands of Susan Rice, comes now another historic and cruel irony.
According to a recent Associated Press article, "State Dept. warns Americans about Haiti travel," the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs has now issued a travel warning "to inform U.S. citizens traveling to or living in Haiti about the current security situation."
In other words, Americans living in or about to travel to Haiti, must beware of incipient "robbery, lawlessness, infectious disease and poor medical facilities" as cultural inhibitors against living in or visiting the Caribbean nation.
The absolute nerve of them! How dare they!
Robbery? Lawlessness? Disease? What poor medical facilities? What "security" situations?
When President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the twice democratically elected president of Haiti was in power, there were only 3,500 policemen in the entire nation of Haiti and there was virtually no crime.
But since U.S.-Canadian-French usurpation of Haitian sovereignty, Haiti has suffered not only from a lack of national security in the sense of borders and territorial integrity but also an ongoing crisis of human security, the right of each person to live in peace and with the guarantee of basic rights.
Aristide, through two terms in office – both of which he was deposed in the middle of – was sabotaged at every step by the U.S. CIA, USAID, the European Union, the Canadian government, the IMF, and the World Bank.
Why? So the U.S. government could blame everything that was "wrong" with Haiti on anyone but itself. This century it chose Jean-Bertrand Aristide to be its scapegoat.
Because the U.S. government cannot stand the thought of grassroots democracy and cannot stand the fact that the achievements of Afrikans who defeated entrenched slavery are of monumental significance to Black people in the Diaspora – and that Black people have the right to take and to define our place in the world without requesting anyone's sponsorship and without needing anyone's approval.
Haitian struggle and resistance has taught the world these facts, much to the chagrin of the U.S. State Department. So now, in retaliation, the U.S. State Department seeks to criminalize Haiti. Again.
After perpetrating a reign of superpower terrorism that includes 33 coups d'etat, financing right wing para-militarism, the terrorizing, abduction and murder of human rights activists, the hijacking of loans meant to establish sources of clean, potable water, hospitals, and clinics, dismantling the democratic election process, forbidding the existence of the largest political party in the country, Fanmi Lavalas, and fomenting the spreading of disease, starvation, mass murder and U.S. hegemony via the Monroe Doctrine, many Haitians believe that the U.S. State Department is now in firm control of the monster it has created.
Not only that, but it is also believed that the U.S. is playing a cruel game, running people against their very own monster. It is a classic game of the criminal blaming the victim.
Thus, in 2012 the U.S. continues to spread the contempt of Haitians held by the Anglo-Saxon power structure. Reminiscent of the views expressed by Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan so long ago when he said, "Imagine! Niggers speaking French!" the State Department has begun its "official," for-sound-bite-use-only pogrom, couched in a "travel warning" to America.
However, this pogrom is liable to bite Anglo-Saxon hegemony in the ass, even when it has an Obama face, because the idiots don't realize there are more Afrikans with a command of the French language than those whose limited command is of English alone.
That being said, it is now evident by this little noticed State Department "travel warning" to Haiti that their U.S. trained U.N. MINUSTAH occupation forces cannot handle the popular opposition of the Haitian people to the current lawlessness of U.S. imposed puppet, Michel Martelly.
For, in the finest traditions of semper fidelis and the 1915-1934 invasion, occupation and racketeering of Haiti led by Gen. Smedley Butler and the U.S. Marine Corps, Michel Martelly is robbing the people and the Haitian treasury blind. Just like old times, making Haiti safe for the National City Bank boys – or whatever bank is fashionable nowadays – to collect revenues in.
And the illegal U.S. inspired coups d'etat of 1991 and 2004 that robbed Haitians of their twice democratically elected President Aristide, were transparent as U.S. instigated regime changes in Haiti.
This doesn't inspire belief in a law-abiding U.S. State Department.
Not when considered in light of Michel Martelly's receipt of "more than $2.5 million in bribes for providing non-bid reconstruction contracts to companies in the Dominican Republic," working in consort with Bill Clinton to force U.S. born businessman Laurent Lamothe into the post of prime minister despite Lamothe's lack of qualification for the post, and Martelly's blatant and arbitrary alteration of the 1987 Haitian Constitution, re-establishing laws to limit the basic human rights of Haitian citizens.
And especially not when former U.S. President and current U.N. Special Envoy William Jefferson Clinton legitimizes the s/election of Michel Martelly as president of Haiti by less than 16 percent of the vote and embraces former dictator for life Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier at a ceremony held nearly one year ago, on Jan. 14, 2012, to "commemorate" the second anniversary of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake.
The ceremony was held in Titanyen near Port-au-Prince. Duvalier couldn't leave Port-au-Prince while awaiting trial for human rights violations and crimes against humanity. The trial didn't happen. And the Martelly-Clinton-Duvalier presence at Titanyen was a travesty and an insult, for Titanyen is the burial ground of earthquake victims and has been for decades the dumping ground of the bodies of Haitians murdered by the infamous Ton Ton Macoutes and other Haitian death squads commanded by Duvalierists, approved by the U.S. State Department, and trained and financed by the U.S. and the CIA.
They kill you and then dance on your grave?
I repeat, the U.S. State Department's duplicitous actions are hardly trustworthy. Most particularly when coupled with the disappearance of human rights hero Lovinsky Pierre Antoine in 2007, the premature death of Father Gerard Jean Juste in 2009, which was caused by prolonged incarceration and mistreatment under the U.N. occupation, and the pictures of U.N. soldiers killing mourners at the funeral of Father Jean Juste.
Haiti's occupation was instigated and engineered by the U.S., Canadian and French governments. U.N. MINUSTAH forces now maintain that occupation. U.N. Special Envoy William Clinton's embrace of Baby Doc Duvalier and Michel Martelly is greatly illustrative of a U.S. State Department's design to turn back the clock on democratic progress and the people's participation in the process of democracy in Haiti established by the twice democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
No wonder the U.S. State Department now wants the world to view "travel" to Haiti as fraught with "robbery, lawlessness, infectious disease and poor medical facilities." They've implemented and now practice what they preach: robbery, lawlessness, the spread of infectious disease and the destruction of proper medical facilities to destroy any hope of democracy in Haiti.
Whatever is the State Department to do but to increase their attempts to re-criminalize Black Haitians?
It might do to remember, on this first day of January 2013, that 209 years ago in 1804, Haiti celebrated its independence by crushing chattel enslavement of Afrikan people everywhere.
On this day a victorious Jean-Jacques Dessalines specifically de-criminalized Black people. This scared then president Thomas Jefferson to death.
Perhaps now, hushed State Department dinner conversation analysts will try to subvert the feelings of the Haitian masses about U.S. attempts to return the brutal, Papa Doc military to power, but the terrorist ploy won't work.
The nearly 700,000 people still living under old sheets since the 2010 earthquake will speak out on the lawlessness of an Obama regime that sends a U.S. military invasion force to occupy injured, starving, homeless Haitians after a 7.2 earthquake instead of sending doctors, food and medical supplies.
This is the same regime that controls the U.N. occupation forces and is backing Martelly's forced eviction of earthquake survivors from refugee camps in 2012.
If this was Obama's prep for the U.S. armies being sent to 35 Afrikan countries in 2013, who knows – maybe the Marines will again be sent to Haiti to quell the cholera infected and those injured from the lack of infrastructure after Hurricane Sandy. After all, most of those poor medical facilities could use that $20,000 per day per diem that Washington's pet buffoon, Michel Martelly, gets daily when he travels, don't cha think?
And I don't know, do you think that maybe the populace could appear on TV with Martha Stewart and show the world how to bake mud cookies?
For those who do not know the recipe, read the following: First get some special clay containing calcium and other nutrients from near the town of Hinche in the Central Plateau. "Combine" it with salt and vegetable shortening. Then dry the result in the sun and eat.
Do you think Ms. Stewart would wanna make Haitian mud cookies a dietary staple of her customers? No? No "cooking with Crisco" this time around, in the finest tradition of that old American idiom for making everything run smoothly?
Well then, consider the crucial question asked by the great Jamaican columnist John Maxwell: "Is Starvation Contagious?" That is the issue that must be addressed when the country whose enslaved labor kept all of Europe fed before the Haitian Revolution is reduced by soaring food prices and globalization to eating mud!
And maybe during a commercial break, folks could be quizzed about how it feels to eat, sleep and take care of their young while standing "at home" in 2 feet of dirty flood water with no food, in their tent cities paid for by starving Haitians instead of said people having access to billions of mismanaged post-earthquake funds that find their way into U.S. government pockets and into the pockets of overseers Bill Clinton and George Bush – overseers, I might add, who were specifically placed in Haiti by Barack Obama.
Yes, the U.S. State Department's lawlessness knows no bounds. And apparently financing Martelly's corrupt government is one of the more creative and innovative ways that France and her U.S. allies have used the $22 billion France extorted from Haiti for having thrown off chattel enslavement, thus "depriving" Europe of its entire source of income.
Maybe the Associated Press should caution wealthy Americans "traveling" to Haiti about how the U.N. MINUSTAH's cholera epidemic won't touch their lives, as they are not likely to see piss and feces from U.N. soldiers in their drinking water or be raped by blue helmeted so-called peacekeepers to earn protection as "travelers" under U.N. MINUSTAH aegis.
The AP should also tell American travelers to Haiti that they're not likely to be shot while brushing their teeth in their swank hotels or on the way to work, because the latest U.S. puppet, Martelly, will personally see to it that they survive to be robbed or killed by his – and only his – staff.
After all, 'tis the season to be jolly, and the U.S. State Department and their quislings are some of the happiest killers on the planet, din't cha know?
Yeah. The U.S. State Department should indeed warn Americans about the dangers of spending "Christmas in Hell: Or A Dread of Black Freedom," where the coins of exchange are a history of resistance to oppression and naked U.S. engineered aggression, terrorism, starvation, disease and death.
But this article is a call to action.
There are political prisoners in Haiti, people who have been put in jail for saying "Enough!" of the thefts of our land and money, enough of the massacres, enough of the starvation and death. And recently, there are 21 newly imprisoned young men and women – seven young women and 14 young men – who have been imprisoned for nothing more than speaking out against the brutality perpetrated against Haiti by the U.S.-Canadian-French triad, by the U.N. MINUSTAH forces, by Brazil, the European Union and by the Haitian elite.
This is what has been going on in Haiti.
It is time for Euro-America and its allies to break with the legacy of rape that has marked their relations with Haiti. Haitians have always resisted. It was Haiti who broke the chains of slavery.
This latest demonization of Haiti is part of what has happened since the days of Haitian independence, when slavery advocates and slave owners designed the U.S. foreign policy that continues to be followed to this day.
And that needs to be changed.

Romain Bigeard has been appointed as the Business Development Manager for Riot Games and as On-Air Talent for the LEC.
As part of his role, he will be helping to integrate the team into the LEC – the competition formerly known as the EU LCS – ahead of its newly-franchised relaunch.
Romain Bigeard most recently served as the General Manager of OpTic Gaming. He joined the North American organisation when it entered the NA LCS as one of its 10 franchises in 2018. Originally starting out as the General Manager of the League of Legends franchise, he transitioned to General Manager of the entire organisation before departing "due to a difference of opinion regarding the future of the LoL department" in October.
I'm officially integrating @riotgames bussiness development team to support the @LeagueOfLegends European Championship #LEC.
I'm also joining the broadcast crew for some surprises on air and on stage.
God I missed Europe. Good to be back.
Prior to joining OpTic Gaming, he truly made a name for himself as Team Manager for Unicorns of Love. His previous posts include acting as a Esports Specialist Europe and Marketing & Event Assistant at Razer and Marketing & Event Assistant at Activision.
On November 20th, Riot Games announced the LEC. The change of name wasn't the only major alteration to the competition: it is now a franchised product with 10 long-term partners joining the fray. the 10 franchises are Fnatic, FC Schalke 04, G2 Esports, Misfits Gaming, Splyce, Team Vitality, Origen, exceL Esports, SK Gaming, and Rogue.
Esports Insider says: Bringing on Romain Bigeard as on-air talent for the LEC is a great move by Riot Games; he's made plenty of appearances on-stage at numerous LoL events and is loved by seemingly everybody. His other post as Business Development Manager would have been a lot harder to guess based on his past experience but he's undoubtedly learned a lot during his tenures with UoL and OpTic Gaming.


British Prime Minister Theresa May got truly suckered by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in the negotiations to prop up the Tory Party in power.
It appears the DUP has won about $1.25 billion in funding for Northern Ireland, and good for them given the fact that they would never have voted the Tories out in the first place.
That's because the alternative from their aspect would have been worse: a former Sinn Fein hugger, Jeremy Corbyn, the resurgent leader of the Labour Party.
Corbyn has a long history of activism on Ireland, and he and his deputy John McDonnell were considered the most militant Sinn Fein supporters in the British Parliament for many years.
Nothing would put the frighteners on the DUP more than a pro-united Ireland leader in Downing Street. But in her panic to retain power May made significant concessions to the DUP she did not have to make.
She also endangered the Good Friday Agreement and the resumption of a power sharing government specif cally with her decision to make the deal in the first place.
As the deadline for an agreeent on the resolution of the major problems in the North looms,the referee has suddenly donned the colors of one of the teams in the negotiations.
Try as May might to deny it, there is no doubting that Sinn Fein, well used to the playing of the Orange Card in British politics, are now looking at a stacked deck.
Lord Chris Patten, who did an incredible job reforming policing in Northern Ireland, commented that May has made a pact with the devil and endangered the peace process.
"The DUP is a toxic brand and the Conservative Party has got itself back into the situation where there's a danger of it looking like the 'nasty party,' to borrow from Theresa May. Every vote will cost you. Every vote, you will have to find some way of paying for it and then explain to the Scots and the Welsh and people in the north-east why they can't have the same thing too," he said.
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams was in no doubt what the deal meant.
"It provides a blank check for a Tory Brexit which threatens the Good Friday Agreement," he told reporters.
Corbyn was also quick in identifying the true nature of the deal. "This Tory-DUP deal is clearly not in the national interest but in May's party's interest to help her cling to power," he said.
It has been an astonishing turnaround for Corbyn. Last weekend he received a hero's welcome at Glastonbury, Britain's biggest music festival. His day has come.
He has gone from no hoper to future leader as the Tories self-destruct over Brexit in the most startling fashion --and it will only get worse.
He is the prime minister in waiting as May tries to cling to power. The ink on the DUP deal may hardly be dry before this deeply unpopular government collapses.

Tower of Babel Buy Book
What about Extra-Biblical Tables of Nations and Genealogies That Go Back to Noah?
by Bodie Hodge on June 28, 2019
Featured in Tower of Babel
Genesis 10 gives an outline of family groups that left Babel. These people moved throughout the world and populated virtually every continent. (Was Antarctica ever settled in the past? At this point, I am unaware.) Here is the Table of Nations from the Bible.
Historians such as Josephus (1st century), Snorri Sturlusonor (13th century), James Anderson (1732), Nennius (9th century), and many others have commented on various cultures and their genealogical records in the past and the origins of various peoples.1
Though there are many to pick from, a few examples of tables of nations should show that historians were offering, sometimes unknowingly, a great confirmation of Genesis, especially historians prior to the evolutionary re-writing of history over the past 150 years.
Josephus, who was surely drawing from Genesis, completed his table of nations nearly 2,000 years ago. A discussion of this is detailed in chapter 17, but the following table, which is in graphic form, is a good place to start.
Some genealogies connect prominent modern houses and royal lines with the Table of Nations listed in the Bible.2 Anglo-Saxon chronologies feature six royal houses that go back to Noah.3 In these genealogies, Noah is found on the top of the lists in many of these documents, some of which feature variant spellings such as Noe or Noa.
One historian discovered a relationship between the ancient name of Sceaf (Seskef, Scef) and the biblical Japheth.4 This relationship seems reasonable, as Japheth has traditionally been seen as the ancestor of the European nations. Some of the European genealogies researched have a variant of Sceaf with the exception of Irish genealogies, which still used the name Japheth.5
Nennius, an eighth-century Welsh monk living in Powys, developed a table of nations of the lineages of many of the European people groups from Noah's son Japheth: Gauls, Goths, Bavarians, Saxons, and Romans.6
Nennius' Table of Nations
(Courtesy of New Wine Press)
Though it repeats the Goths in two different areas, Nennius's chart bears strong similarities to the history that Josephus recorded, as well as the Bible's Table of Nations. However, there are clearly enough differences to show that it was neither a copy from the biblical text nor from the Jewish historian Josephus.7
Chinese records also describe Nuah with three sons, Lo Han, Lo Shen, and Jahphu, according to the Miautso people of China.8 Although original documents of ancient sources sometimes no longer exist and one has to rely on quotes from other ancient books, it is interesting that we find similarities to the Table of Nations in the Bible in many places.
Another questionable table of nations appears in the Book of Jasher (or Jashar). For those unfamiliar with the Book of Jasher, it is mentioned twice in the Old Testament:
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day (Joshua 10:13).
And he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher (2 Samuel 1:18).
It was assumed that this book was lost to history. Yet there are three copies floating around today. So what is the story?
As it turns out, these copies are later books, not the one that is mentioned in Scripture. One book is a collection of legends from creation to the conquest of Joshua (and was written in Hebrew). It is believed by most scholars that this book did not exist until about A.D. 1625.
Another Book of Jasher is supposed to be an 18th-century translation of a book by Alcuin from the 8th century. Of course, there is a science fiction book by this title as well. So, what we can learn from these Books of Jasher is not what is reference material to what is stated in Scripture, but instead what people believed or researched within the past millennium. Essentially, we can only know what the author believed when this was written.
After researching the Book of Jasher from the 17th century, we find a record of genealogies as well. It is not merely a copy of the Bible or of Josephus or of anything else directly referenced in this volume either. This is known because there is information here not given in any of the other references, and the other references give information not mentioned here.
Nimrod (also called Amraphel) was supposedly born to Cush late in his life and was the youngest.
Babel, Erech, Eched, and Calnah were not named for sons but the names likely had significance, for example:
Babel means "The Lord confounded their language."
Erech means "They were displaced from there."
Eched means "Great battle happened there."
Calnah means "His Prince's mighty men were consumed there."
The Bible says Abram left Horan at 75 years of age. When did Terah, Abram, and the others leave Ur?
A later queen than Sheba visits Solomon.
Chedorlaomer fought and conquered Nimrod's descendants because of their wickedness. Abram would have been 49 years of age.
Bela settled near but away from Sodom and the cities of the plain. His new settlement is called "Land of Zoar."
The Bible says Abram left Horan at 75 years old. When did Terah, Abram, the others leave Ur?
About 300 men
Genesis 10 and 11 reveal that people like Selah and Eber had other sons. So the listings in Genesis 10 are not necessarily the only sons.
460 men at this time.
Pelog died the 48th year of Abraham's life.
Some of this makes sense, too. I have been able to trace the Turks in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) to Noah's great-grandson Togarmah's descendants who migrated into part of modern-day Turkey. Later, they conquered the whole of Asia Minor and had the Turkish Empire, which was quite powerful. The Bible simply gives his name (Togarmah), but where did the name Turk come from? Was it a variation of Togarmah? If the author of Jasher is somewhat correct, then the name comes from one of the ten sons of Togarmah (Tugarma): Tarki.
In some cases, the name of a descendant became the name of a language or people. For example, in the Bible, the Anakim were people named for descendants of Arba through his son Anak, and the Jews (named for Judah) became a name for the Israelites. Turk may have that same connotation.
The Uzbek Turks (living in Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan) may well be named for Zebuc, which sounds strikingly similar to Uzbek, as would the Oguzes or Oguz Turks to Ongal. It is this latter ancestral group that gave rise to Osman I, who founded the Ottoman Turk Empire that lasted for about six centuries (late A.D. 1200s to the 1800s).
Another example is the names of the children of Asshur. The Bible simply gives the name Asshur (Assyria). Jasher fills in the names of Asshur's sons. This makes sense since Nimrod conquered and built up four of these places (Genesis 10:11–12) that were in Asshur's lands (Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen). So did these cities take the names of Asshur's sons or Nimrod's sons? In light of the Bible, I would lean in the direction of Nimrod's sons, even though they were located in land allotted for Asshur, but the Scripture is not clear. The Book of Jasher attributes them to Asshur.9 Regardless, these two people groups mixed in these four places.
The few sources listed here and many others that can be tracked down are a great confirmation of the truthfulness of the Scriptures.
There is much to learn, and it could be a book in and of itself to find and record various Tables of Nations found throughout the world. In truth, the book Royal Genealogies by James Anderson has a number of these tables. The research was done for the Prince of Wales, Fredrick Lewis, in 1732. This volume, unlike Jasher, is a much more reliable source. The few listed here and many others that can be tracked down are a great confirmation of the truthfulness of the Scriptures.

Some have thought these names attributed to Nimrod in the Table of Nations were not sons at all, but that Nimrod simply built these cities. But then we are stuck with two predicaments. How can a city, which is made up of people, exist without progeny? And how could they come out with a new language as indicated in Genesis 10? It makes sense that these cities were named for sons, which was the common way of doing it.

This website provides general legal information only. Legal information explains the law in general terms and is not specific to any particular case. How the law affects any person will depend on the facts of each case.
Family law changes from time to time, as both federal and provincial governments make new laws (legislation: acts and regulations) and the courts make decisions in cases that affect the law (the common law).

Legal advice is tailored to a specific person or situation. It applies the legislation and case law to the circumstances and provides recommendations about what course of action would best suit the facts of the case and what the person wants to achieve.
If you have a legal problem or need specific advice, it is best to obtain legal advice from a lawyer who practises family law. Lawyers are the only people authorized to provide legal advice in Manitoba, with limited exceptions, under The Legal Profession Act.

How a positive mindset and active lifestyle helped a breast cancer fight.
Deb Shirley was back teaching Pilates eight weeks after having a double-mastectomy.
The active mother, who shares seven adult children with her current partner, believes she recovered well from the breast cancer operation because she was fit. She'd been teaching and practising Pilates for over a decade, and found she could use her stomach muscles instead of her chest to get out of bed.
A resilient personality also helped, along with the excellent treatment she received and the fact she caught the cancer early during a self-examination – just over six months after her regular mammogram had come up clear.
From there, Deb says she was "on a treadmill" where things happened quickly, which she also found reassuring. Told there was a chance the cancer could spread to her other breast, she was given the option of a double-mastectomy and decided it was a no-brainer.
While the hormone-blocking drug therapy she was given following the surgery took some adjustments, Deb was grateful to not have to go through chemotherapy.
"The thing that struck me the most was feeling a certain level of control when it happens to you, but when it happens to a loved one, you don't have control.
The two are both now in remission. They're transitioning to retirement via a new house near the beach in Avalon on Sydney's Northern Beaches, and are awaiting their first grandchild.
Born in South Africa, Deb arrived in Australia at the age of four and went to school on Sydney's North Shore. Her sporty and active childhood later evolved into a career in PE teaching, and three children with her then husband.
She stayed active during the pregnancies and while raising young kids, and has always maintained a healthy weight and lifestyle. "I was lucky I had my first child in an hour and half, my second in an hour, and my third in twenty minutes," she says.
Deb now urges all women to do breast self-exams and book in for regular mammograms. She personally ticked no obvious risk factors and had no family history of breast cancer.

Filoctetes (en grec antic Φιλοκτήτης) va ser un heroi grec, fill de Peant i de Demonassa (o de Metone).

Company d'Heracles, aquest li confià l'arc i les sagetes abans de morir i li feu jurar que no revelaria a ningú el lloc on descansarien les seues cendres. Tot seguit, Filoctetes encengué la pira de l'heroi. Tanmateix, davant la insistència amb què li ho pregaren, al final s'encaminà al cim de l'Eta i amb un senyal deixà entendre que allà hi havia la tomba i les armes d'Hèracles. Més endavant s'embarcà al front de set naus, segons el catàleg de les naus, com a antic pretendent d'Helena, i va prendre aquestes armes per anar a la guerra de Troia, però a Tènedos es clavà al peu una de les sagetes enverinades, o també s'explica que li picà una serp verinosa, (diuen que com a càstig per haver faltat a la paraula donada) i els companys el van abandonar a l'illa de Lemnos mentre es curava. Hi ha diverses versions sobre el fet que abandonessin Filoctetes a l'illa de Lemnos. Una diu que la ferida li feia tanta pudor que era insuportable. O bé que els crits que donava l'heroi i que no podia reprimir, torbaven el silenci necessari per oferir els sacrificis, i per això el van deixar sol. L'instigador de l'abandó acostuma a ser Odisseu. Una altra tradició deia que els grecs havien deixat Filoctetes a l'illa perquè pogués curar-se la ferida, ja que a Lemnos hi havia un culte a Hefest, els sacerdots del qual podien guarir les picades de serp. Aquesta versió diu que Filoctetes s'hauria curat i així s'hauria incorporat als exèrcits grecs contra Troia.

Al cap de deu anys, com que l'endeví Helen, fill de Príam, que havia marxat de Troia i havia estat fet presoner dels grecs, havia dit que Troia no podia ser presa sense les sagetes d'Heracles, varen anar Odisseu amb Diomedes, segons Eurípides, o amb Neoptòlem, segons Sòfocles, a cercar-lo i el portaren a la Tròade, on fou guarit per Macàon (o pel seu germà Podaliri) i pogué participar en els combats. La més destacada de les seues víctimes fou Paris.

Una vegada caiguda Troia, Filoctetes va tornar a la seva terra. A l'Odissea es troba a la llista d'herois privilegiats que havien tornat fàcilment a la seva pàtria. però hi ha llegendes posteriors que expliquen altres aventures de Filoctetes, en les quals hauria anat a parar al sud d'Itàlia, a la regió de Crotona, on hauria fundat nombroses ciutats, com ara Petèlia o Macal·la, on va consagrar a Apol·lo les sagetes d'Hèracles. Va morir lluitant a favor dels rodis que havien vingut guiats per Tlepòlem i eren atacats pels habitants del lloc. La seva tomba s'ensenyava a molts llocs, i també a Macal·la.
