Family entertainment centres (FECs) will perhaps be most commonly located at seaside resorts, in airports and at motorway service centres, and will cater for families, including unaccompanied children and young persons. Unlicensed FECs will only be able to offer category D machines in reliance on a gaming machine permit. Any number of category D machines can be made available with such a permit (subject to other considerations, such as fire regulations and health and safety, which will not be issues for the licensing authority under the Gambling Act). Permits cannot be issued to vessels or vehicles.
If the operator of a family entertainment centre wants to make category C machines available in addition to category D machines, the operator will need to apply for an operating licence from the Gambling Commission and a premises licence from the licensing authority. For further information on these type of licences, please refer to information on this website relating to premises licences.
Schedule 10 of the Act sets out the application process and regulatory regime for FEC gaming machine permits.
The application for a permit can only be made by a person who occupies or plans to occupy the premises to be used as an unlicensed FEC and, if the applicant is an individual, he or she must be aged 18 or over. Applications for a permit cannot be made if a premises licence is in effect for the same premises.
Portsmouth City Council, as licensing authority, is required to publish a statement of licensing principles which sets out matters they will consider when exercising their functions in considering applications for permits. Applicants may wish to familiarise themselves with this statement prior to making an application.
The appropriate application forms and details of fees are provided below.


For the media day of the Ruby S/S 14-15 Dreamers collection press were given a cute little cactus to take home with their media kits. For the launch of the collection in store the gals at Ruby also wanted to give their customers a little gift too, but soon realised that having shops full of cacti could only end in disaster - if not in store then definitely while customers tried to precariously transport their prickly friend home. Still wanting to give a gift the girls contacted me to illustrate a little cactus to be printed and given to the first 200 customers who purchase something from the Dreamers collection, a much safer idea, and no risk of injury.
My brief was relatively simple for this project, my main key points were that the image was to be in a simple neutral palette and also had to include a pattern similar to the Baja print from the collection.
First up I tried to figure out the level of detail they wanted and what kind of cactus they had in mind. I sent through some examples of my other botanical work, and also a selection of different cacti. Showing clients pieces from your own folio is a really great thing to do at the start before drawing anything, it can save a lot of time on revisions if you know the exact style they are after.
From here the girls asked for a little more shading on the pot, and the addition of a second fallen flower, so pretty simple as far as revisions go. Other than that they were happy to move on to colour and decided that only the flowers would be coloured, so I sent through a revised illustration with an extra flower and my first round of pink colouring. To match some of the colours in the collection I was then sent an image of their "Ace Spot" a more orange based "lolly" pink as the girls called it, so I adjusted the flowers to be a bit more peachy based to match the dots.
The peach was looking a little orange on the screens at Ruby HQ, so I took a screen grab of the colour next to the Ace Spot so they could see how it matched, I also sent through a pinker option too so they could decide which they preferred.
The pink option was the win and the image was signed off, completely breezy job! If you would like to get one of these prints be sure to race in to one of the Ruby stores from July 12th, purchase something from the Dreamers collection and the print is yours for free.

Ivan Mečl | editorial | en cs de es
The exhibit by the activist group, Guma Guar, at the Prague Municipal Gallery was damaged allegedly by a group of unknown iconoclasts, whose subsequent closing is accompanied by conspiracy theories. After the institution's curator decided to prematurely shut the exhibit down without consulting the artists, the Czech art scene reacted in a rather atypical manner. Artists, whose exhibits had been scheduled for the space, refused further co-operation with the gallery; they will not implement any projects there. This incident was the last straw in a haystack of disgusting obstructions that has led artists to finally sober-up after their institutional tea party.
Post-revolution, cultural institutions never earned their trust. For the most part, they are successor organizations to centuries-old survivors of bureaucratic fortresses distinguishable from each other only by different names and facades. But the new facades still hide the same demagogic thinking of their predecessors. Only a part of the terminology is different. They are comfortable with feudal management and have no interest in implementing any democratic operational mechanisms.
These organizations are paralyzed by impenetrable bureaucracy. Their bookkeeping is non-transparent. Their financial transactions and manipulation of allotted assets are kept secret. This is incredibly convenient for the structures within their walls. Provided they maintain such a state, then they do not have to open up to the outside world and needn't consider anyone their partner.
Why do we tolerate the arrogance and decay of platforms meant to represent contemporary art? Why do we suffer from laziness of thought among those persons meant to apply complicated principles and procedures? Do we really want to be associated with such disgraceful acts?
Large State and municipal institutions in Eastern Europe do not contribute to young artists' exhibit projects. They dole out funds only to a few favorites. They prefer to spend their budgets on themselves. But despite this, they take advantage of artists and external curators in the name of breathing new life into their depleted souls. Obscure plastic surgery enables them to suck the public coffers clean, and now they appropriate international grant programs. Institutions pay experts to help them access money from public as well as private funds. Their faces, drawn in shock by requests for financial support for the planned project, do not however change. After all there "is no budget" for the exhibits that they themselves ordered in an effort to improve their ghastly images. But despite this, still today they bite their lips and pay for the exhibits at their own expense, or thanks to the support of friends or sponsors they themselves found. Key figures in these cultural institutions have held their positions for almost twenty years now. Provided any one of them was forced to resign, then it was likely the result of their mutual scheming. I doubt we remember anyone else running these institutions. Even the rotations of the same people in the same posts brings to mind the act of running in quicksand.
Outside their launches and media presentations they do not communicate with the public. They speak to us through sound-bites sprinkled throughout the media and via press releases that read as if written for high school students. All is topped off by their cultural directors with their arrogant behavior, similar to that of coke dealers. They enjoy expensive limousines, luxury and opulence. They function in a perverse symbiosis with governing political parties or the financial mafia.
When French curators, Jerome Sans and Nicolas Bourriaud, put together the project for the Palais de Tokyo cultural space in Paris at the end of the 1990s, they included a provision for a four-year term for project directors into the project by-laws. The Palais de Tokyo became, immediately after its opening, one of the most important spots on earth for contemporary art. Despite this both men left after four years, only to be replaced by their critics and opponents. In our context that sounds like a fairy-tale. We would expect rather life-long directorships for services rendered.
Given the financial possibilities of the institutions themselves or in connection with publishers of gift artistic codices, the shelves of bookstores are polluted with expensive publications describing the history of art as a series of their activities; as well as those favored by them, or as memoirs of their favorite geniuses. It will be very hard for someone to correct what has taken place over the past decade. The whole period of artistic development after 1989 is warped by their institutional activities and their published opinions. And were we to allow them to do so, they would try and change the views on cultural history prior to that date to their advantage.
Outside this, people exhibit in desperate conditions where there are in fact no budgets and it makes no sense to calculate costs. Less-known activists cannot of course afford to hire fundraisers. Independent-minded texts—of actual fundamental importance—have returned to the pages of dispersed underground newspapers and fringe periodicals. And this is good. In this way the product is more authentic than that which officials circulate under the ceilings of high-vaulted salons. They have worries enough with the cash they've accumulated and the possibilities these moneys afford, so there is no time to take any interest in the quality of the works or the sense of the art shown.
Fighting institutions is a waste of time; we should only express our sincere regret. It is a painful path to become independent from the awareness of importance and the drug that is decision-making.
We take pity on all those who wasted their lives in office chairs and maintaining the constant rhythm of keeping appointments. Sometimes we can have mercy on the victims of mutually-inflicted plots. But let's not become part of their game. We have too little time for that. Profits from these well-planned games are as certain as bets in border-town casinos. The game means compromising oneself, denying one's own opinions and principles. It's not possible to tread continuously the line between Yes and No. Let's not allow ourselves to be drawn in by the enticements of corrupt and hypocritical institutions behind whose backs we criticize. Let us choose Yes OR No, for otherwise we are party to their hypocrisy and corruption. Perhaps the collective refusal and isolation of the old guard will be the first step to the creation of new, truly independent, democratic and open ones.
Until refusals themselves become art, at least they are interesting.

From Different Corners
This drug may help prevent age-related health problems
Category: From Different Corners
New York, Oct 25 (IANS) A drug, which is already used in high doses in medical detoxification emergencies, may help prevent many age-related health problems when used at much lower levels, suggests new research conducted on rats.
The drug N-acetyl-cysteine, or NAC might help maintain levels of a known antioxidant glutathione and prevent the routine metabolic declines associated with ageing, said the study published in the journal Redox Biology.
"Using NAC as a prophylactic, instead of an intervention, may allow glutathione levels to be maintained for detoxification in older adults," the researchers said.
The detoxification compound glutathione, helps resist the toxic stresses of everyday life -- but its levels decline with age and this sets the stage for a wide range of age-related health problems.
"We've known for some time of the importance of glutathione as a strong antioxidant," said lead author Tory Hagen, Professor at Oregon State University in the US.
"What this study pointed out was the way that cells from younger animals are far more resistant to stress than those from older animals," Hagen noted.
Decline of the detoxification mechanisms are linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, according to scientists.
"In young animal cells, stress doesn't cause such a rapid loss of glutathione. The cells from older animals, on the other hand, were quickly depleted of glutathione and died twice as fast when subjected to stress," Hagen said.
"But pre-treatment with NAC increased glutathione levels in the older cells and largely helped offset that level of cell death," Hagen pointed out.

DeSantis proposes a new civilian military force in Florida that he would control
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/02/politics/florida-state-guard-desantis/index.html
St, Petersburg, Florida (CNN)Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to reestablish a World War II-era civilian military force that he, not the Pentagon, would control.
DeSantis pitched the idea Thursday as a way to further support the Florida National Guard during emergencies, like hurricanes. The Florida National Guard has also played a vital role during the pandemic in administering Covid-19 tests and distributing vaccines.
But in a nod to the growing tension between Republican states and the Biden administration over the National Guard, DeSantis also said this unit, called the Florida State Guard, would be "not encumbered by the federal government." He said this force would give him "the flexibility and the ability needed to respond to events in our state in the most effective way possible." DeSantis is proposing bringing it back with a volunteer force of 200 civilians, and he is seeking $3.5 million from the state legislature in startup costs to train and equip them.

With the wonderful internet, one can pick a medication and see all the reported side effects for that brand. It is the same as the package insert but if it is online, it must be true. I think publishing side effects is required in the United States, but I am not a lawyer.
I know, I believe one of George Martin's reading suggestions was "How to Lie with Statistics". I wish it were taught in every grade over 6 th. It would be nice if the difference between all, may and some were taught with examples from current affairs. One person in a million may have this particular side effect, or most people may have it, or 20% may report it. ( could be a lot higher)Most people do not understand what a significant difference is…and science is based on that. It can mean a lot of people , on average, had a tiny effect( not all) or some people had a large effect, or it may happen because they tested something a hundred times and only published the study that suited their company. In the end, until we have something like excellent genetic studies, we must go with generalities and then hard core trial and error. But in the end, get vaccines because they have a great track record and people are watching. Psychiatric drugs are not as secure.
I knew someone with a Ph.D argue that everyone is happier if they stay married. ( on average) Does that mean everyone will be happier if they stay married? No, there great reasons to divorce…, abuse, child molesting, fraud or can't stand the jerkwaddle anymore:) Does it mean everyone should get married? No! He was saying yes because of statistics. That doesn't pass the sniff test to me, which in fancy pants language that is Face Validity. Sorry, its maths.

Wisconsin Democratic governor vetoes restrictive abortion bills:
One of the more contentious bills, the Shield the Vulnerable Act, would have banned abortions if the patient makes that decision based on the sex, race or disability diagnosis of the unborn baby. The bill would also allow other parties, be it a spouse, partner or family member, to bring damages to court if they did not want a woman to have the abortion.
This kind of gives a preview of the stakes I was referring to if Roe is overturned in June. It will embolden the GOP-dominated Wisconsin legislature to go even further, and then - if he has a brain - Evers can raise the specter during his reelection campaign.

I'm not sure but I believe at least some would not trigger if SCOTUS only "effectively" overturns Roe. That being said, in all the dozen states that have trigger laws except Kentucky the GOP has a trifecta, so they can easily just pass laws to that effect anyway.

The thing is, the dangers of dispensing with Roe go far beyond abortion, because the legal logic that threatens this particular right could quite easily extend to others, inviting states to try out new laws that regulate choices about whom to marry, whom to be intimate with, what contraception to use, and how to rear one's own children.
The contention that Roe is uniquely built on a foundation of sand ignores the inconvenient fact that lots of other rights are not expressly articulated in the Constitution. ....

I don't recall the Republicans having anything like "superdelegates" to act as a moderating influence on primaries.
Other than that… no clue.
The Republican Party has them too.
2 minutes ago, Fury Resurrected said:
They do not. Not only do they not, state primaries for Republicans are often winner takes all instead of proportionate gains, which also emphasizes plurality winners taking insurmountable leads.
17 minutes ago, Fury Resurrected said:
Technically they do, but functionally the 7% of Republican superdelegates (about half of the 15% of Dem superdelegates) are identical to pledged delegates - they have to vote for the candidate that won their state. The DNC's post-2016 reform did the same thing for 2/3s of their superdelegates - and prevented them from voting on the first ballot. Which means at this point superdelegates are wholly a red herring.
The only impact superdelegates have ever had is the media irresponsibly counting them in the 2008 and 2016 Dem primaries - encouraged by the Hillary campaign to suggest, especially against Obama in 2008, that the superdelegates could flip the nomination to her. But that was never going to happen.


Geology (1991) 19 (11): 1059-1062.
We present the first circum-East Antarctic chronology for the Holocene, based on 17 radiocarbon dates generated by the accelerator method. Marine sediments from around East Antarctica contain a consistent, high-resolution record of terrigenous (ice-proximal) and biogenic (open-marine) sedimentation during Holocene time. This record demonstrates that biogenic sedimentation beneath the open-marine environment on the continental shelf has been restricted to approximately the past 4 ka, whereas a period of terrigenous sedimentation related to grounding line advance of ice tongues and ice shelves took place between 7 and 4 ka. An earlier period of open-marine (biogenic sedimentation) conditions following the late Pleistocene glacial maximum is recognized from the Prydz Bay (Ocean Drilling Program) record between 10.7 and 7.3 ka. Clearly, the response of outlet systems along the periphery of the East Antarctic ice sheet during the mid-Holocene was expansion. This may have been a direct consequence of climate warming during an Antarctic "Hypsithermal." Temperature-accumulation relations for the Antarctic indicate that warming will cause a significant increase in accumulation rather than in ablation. Models that predict a positive mass balance (growth) of the Antarctic ice sheet under global warming are supported by the mid-Holocene data presented herein.

Can Million-Dollar Garage Sale Finds Still Be Had?
$5 Warhol Sketch Lists For $1.9 Million
New York - We've all heard the stories before about the incredible discoveries and massive price realizations that can come from a simple happenstance stop-over at a local garage sale, but how often do these rare and valuable finds really occur in today's world of instant price-checks, and eBay comparison apps. For many antique and vintage dealers, the answer is surprisingly, more often than you might think. While most dealers will tell you that they're certainly not making "million-dollar" finds on a regular basis, many will acknowledge that they are still sourcing great inventory from the tried-and-true garage sale platform, despite the advances in technology that allow amateur sleuths and collectors to compete for the same items.
Even with the current Internet frenzy regarding the recent auction of a garage sale bowl that was bought for $35 in Connecticut, and sold at Sotheby's for just over $720,000, Mark Davies, an online collector and dealer in porcelain for over thirty years, says he believes that finds of this caliber, while still quite rare, are more common than people might know. "I haven't made six-figures, or anything like that," says Davies, "but over the years I've purchased multiple examples from yard sales that I went on to resell for hundreds of times more than what I paid." In some instances, Davies says that he's earned thousands of dollars off of items he found discarded at the end of a sale. "They were literally throwing the stuff out." says Davies. While not every outing can bring in such rewards, Davies confesses that if he had to add-up his best inventory finds over the last thirty years, hands-down, it would still be his picks from Saturday morning yard-sales that provided the most return on investment.
$35 Ming Bowl Sells For $722,000
Many dealers acknowledge that sourcing out good quality items can be tougher today than in the past, since it's not only those holding the garage sale who are doing their research, but also the customers. Cheryl Oaks, an antique dealer from Irvine, California says that sales she attends today are littered with armies of phone-holders conducting online price-checks and and bid comparisons. "It's obviously not what you want to see," says Oaks, "but by the same token, I've found that a lot of people tend to get frustrated when they can't get quick and definitive answers, and will often leave an item behind because they're unsure about its actual value or authenticity." Oaks believes that a lot of this has to do with information overload. "They're not really professionals, they're just punters out looking for something to do," she says. "When they come across an item they can't readily identify, they become inundated with a slew of online examples, which tends to create uncertainty." Oaks says she's lost out a few times to the Saturday morning crowd, but in the long run, says that some of her best inventory still comes from garage sales, including some original Stickley Mission chairs she once picked up after a seller offered her a nominal fee to just 'haul them away.'
$13 Garage Sale Ring Valued At $500K
For others in the market, garage "saleing" has become more about strategy. Bruce Hodgson, an antique and vintage jewelry dealer from South Florida, says that over the years, even though he's developed a multitude of different systems for acquiring inventory, he keeps coming back to garage sales. "There's simply no replacing box-lots," says Hodgson. "Everyone can see a beautiful walnut table that was passed on down from Grandma, but what's often not seen are the pieces of family jewelry that just get dumped into the bottom of boxes." Hodgson says he can't recount the number of times he's come across rings and broaches thought to be worthless that ended up helping him set monthly sales records. "I'm very particular about what garage sales I go to," says Hodgson, "I plan my route around neighborhoods with retirees - the older the folks - the older the stuff." Hodgson also believes that having a lifetimes worth of experience in the jewelry business has helped him immensely when it comes to competition from the Saturday morning price-checkers. "It's not nearly as easy to identify a genuine piece of antique jewelry from a picture on a phone, as it is in person," says Hodgson. "You're definitely going to be handicapped if you can't bring some prior knowledge to the sale."
While most dealers would likely agree that garage sale competition has been getting stiffer over the last ten years due to the publics increased awareness of 'value' items, many would also argue that there are simply more garage sales now than ever before due to the aging boomer population. For Mike Horlock, who has been picking sales in the Atlanta region for the last forty years, it's become a delicate balance. "Prior to the boomers disposing of their goods and chattels, most of what I found was headed straight to flea markets for resale - today, it's pretty much going straight to antique and vintage shops." Horlock says he would have been lucky to come across high-value garage sale items back then, but today, it's almost a common occurrence.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Police are investigating a mass shooting outside a Frayser nightclub that sent five people to the hospital.
Investigators say it happened just after 2 a.m. Saturday at Club Bosses on North Watkins Avenue.
Three men, ages 29, 31 and 37, are listed in critical condition and a 34-year-old man and 19-year-old woman are expected to survive, police say.
"That's scary. It is scary," said Mohammed Alkabsh, who owns the Valero gas station next door. "To me like, just crazy, you know? For something to just pop up like this. I couldn't believe it."
The 24-hour gas station had about five customers at the time, and Alkabsh said they ran inside and hit the floor, terrified they could end up caught in the crossfire.
"People came in here running and started laying down in here," he said. "I mean, it sounded crazy to me."
There are four surveillance cameras outside Alkabsh's store, which he hopes captured something.
"I've been here for two years, cool with everybody, we never had no problem," he said.
The nightclub is rated 4.9 out of five stars among Facebook reviewers, and many have commented on the safe environment and security.
But next door, Alkabsh said he's not feeling quite as safe and secure anymore.
"It's kind of hard now just to feel good, you know what I mean?" he said.
Police haven't released the victims' names.
Investigators say the shooter took off northbound on Watkins Avenue in a black four-door car.

The Jewelry Archaeologist
In the middle of the Shenandoah Valley, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Hugo Kohl has pulled off what might be the ultimate act of sustainability—at least regarding jewelry. Through years of painstaking, costly, often fruitless detective work, he rescued an era of early American jewelry manufacturing technology that was on the brink of extinction. Now Kohl is one of the few people in the world making a class of vintage jewelry that is truly authentic. And he swears that the system in his shop is the only way to do capitalism.

Lewis Carroll: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
CHAPTER 8: The Queen's Croquet-Ground (continued)
The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all three to settle the question, and they repeated their arguments to her, though, as they all spoke at once, she found it very hard indeed to make out exactly what they said.
The executioner's argument was, that you couldn't cut off a head unless there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a thing before, and he wasn't going to begin at HIS time of life.
The King's argument was, that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and that you weren't to talk nonsense.
The Queen's argument was, that if something wasn't done about it in less than no time she'd have everybody executed, all round. (It was this last remark that had made the whole party look so grave and anxious.)
Alice could think of nothing else to say but `It belongs to the Duchess: you'd better ask HER about it.'
`She's in prison,' the Queen said to the executioner: `fetch her here.' And the executioner went off like an arrow.
The Cat's head began fading away the moment he was gone, and, by the time he had come back with the Dutchess, it had entirely disappeared; so the King and the executioner ran wildly up and down looking for it, while the rest of the party went back to the game.

Tag Archives: Ray Milland
Nicholas Chennault ~ April 6, 2015
Copper Canyon—Ray Milland, Hedy Lamar, Macdonald Carey, Harry Carey, Jr., Ian Wolfe, Mona Freeman, Hope Emerson (1950; Dir: John Farrow)
Welsh actor Ray Milland didn't make many westerns, and the best of the few he did make is probably A Man Alone (1955). The beautiful Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr made even fewer; this movie, from late in her career, seems to be her only western. Nevertheless, they both show up in this watchable and busy story of North-South disputes and nefarious doings in a post-Civil War western mining town.
Shortly after the Civil War, a group of Confederate veterans approaches Johnny Carter (Ray Milland), who has a stage sharpshooting act. They are under the impression that he is Col. Desmond, a former southern commander from Virginia. Captured and placed in a prisoner of war camp during the war, he escaped with $20,000 the camp commandant had; as a consequence, he's still wanted by the federal authorities, even though the war is over.
The southerners are mining copper but find themselves oppressed by a corrupt local regime in Coppertown and are unable to get their ore to market. Carter denies that he is Desmond but shows up in Coppertown to put on his act in the local saloon, run by the beautiful and exotic Lisa Roselle (Hedy Lamarr). Both Roselle and deputy sheriff Lane Travis (Macdonald Carey) have been sent to Coppertown by the mysterious Mr. Henderson (Ian Wolfe) to keep the southerners from smelting and marketing their ore so he can buy them out cheaply.
Adversaries Johnny Carter (Ray Milland) and Lisa Roselle (Hedy Lamarr) strike up a closer acquaintance.
Carter strikes up a relationship with Roselle to the irritation of Travis, who has been trying to develop his own interests there. While Roselle tries to keep Carter involved with her and not joining a miner's wagon train to Mesa City, he slips out to give the miners cover by pinning down Travis' attacking men. Back in Coppertown, he is betrayed and framed for the robbery of the $160,000 in proceeds from Mesa City. Carter has finally persuaded Balfour, owner of the local smelting facility, to allow the southerners to use it, but Travis shoots Balfour in the back. With Roselle's help Carter gets out of jail and stops the cut-rate sale of claims to Henderson.
Using military skills, Carter organizes an attack on Travis and his men at the smelter, with the support of the local cavalry Lt. Ord (Harry Carey, Jr.). He wins a shootout with the nefarious Travis. At the end he takes the stage out of town with Roselle, never having admitted that he is Desmond–if he is. Lt. Ord is promoted to captain. And Carter and Lisa take off for Sacramento and San Francisco to start a new theater, with $20,000 Carter happens to have in the lining of his gun case.
Carter (Ray Milland) is captured by Deputy Sheriff Lane Travis (Macdonald Carey).
While pleasant and watchable fare, this isn't terribly memorable. There doesn't seem to be a lot of chemistry between Milland and Lamarr, as the attraction of these characters to each other overtakes their competing agendas. According to stories from the production, the two leads couldn't stand each other. Milland doesn't seem like much of a southerner. Undeniably beautiful (and reportedly very intelligent as well), Lamarr doesn't exude much warmth. There are a lot of characters, many of whom remain underdeveloped. Six-foot two-inch Hope Emerson could be excellent in character parts (see her in Westward the Women [1951], for example), but here she is underused as Ma Tarbet, a bartender and associate of Roselle. Philip Van Zandt is the cheerfully corrupt sheriff of Coppertown, dominated by his deputy Travis. Harry Carey, Jr., is fine in one of his young lieutenant roles (She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, 1949; Rio Grande, 1950). Macdonald Carey usually appeared in westerns with much lower budgets and less upscale casts, but he makes an excellent villain here.
Stars Ray Milland and Hedy Lamarr in publicity stills.
Director John Farrow's best-known western is Hondo (1953), although there are stories he didn't finish that one. This is in lively color, with a lot of plot for its 84 minutes.

A Man Alone
A Man Alone—Ray Milland, Mary Murphy, Ward Bond, Raymond Burr, Lee Van Cleef, Alan Hale, Jr. (1955; Dir: Ray Milland)
Although he's frequently dirty and sometimes unshaven, Welsh-born Ray Milland still seems like an unusually fastidious cowboy with an eastern-ish accent. Wesley Steele (MIlland) is a known gunman, but not exactly an outlaw, stranded in the desert. He stumbles on a robbed stage, where six people have been killed, and then into a bank robbery in Mesa, a town controlled by Stanley (Raymond Burr). He is blamed for both, and the hunt is on for Steele in earnest.
As he escapes, he seeks refuge in the basement of a house that turns out to be owned by local sheriff Gil Corrigan (Ward Bond) and his daughter Nadine (Mary Murphy, best known for her role as Marlon Brando's girlfriend in The Wild One two years previously). The sheriff is incapacitated with yellow fever, and the house is quarantined. Steele wins Nadine's confidence by helping to care for her father, even though she knows the whole town is looking for Steele.
Nadine and Steele.
It turns out that both the bank robbery and the heinous stage robbery were carried out by Stanley and his henchmen (including Lee Van Cleef). Steele has to win over the recovered sheriff, who, once persuaded, lets him go and is then about to be lynched by irate townspeople. Steele re-appears and saves him. Steele gets the girl, who seems much younger than he.
In color, especially Murphy's blond hair, at 96 minutes. A rare western with Ray Milland, directed by Ray Milland, and it's watchable, with a good supporting cast. For Milland in another western, see Copper Canyon (1950), with Hedy Lamarr.

Heidi Broussard's Mother Believes Her Daughter's Best Friend 'Premeditated' Her Murder
Earlier this week, Heidi Broussard's longtime friend Magen Fieramusca was indicted on charges of capital murder and kidnapping

The mother of slain Texas mom Heidi Broussard is speaking out after her daughter's friend Magen Fieramusca was indicted on murder and kidnapping charges.
In a new interview with NBC's Dateline, which will air in full on Friday night, Tammy Broussard spoke about her grief over Heidi's death, and also said she believes Fieramusca "premeditated" her daughter's murder.
"She premeditated all of this," Tammy said in the interview. "We really want to know why. Why would you hurt a friend? I mean, you're supposed to be her friend. Why would you do that? We would just like to know why."
Tammy also claimed that Fieramusca's "only concern" after Heidi went missing was "wanting to know are the police doing anything."
"All I can say is she had planned this for a long time," Tammy alleged. "I believe she planned it whenever Heidi said she was pregnant."

During the interview, Tammy also grew emotional while speaking about her late daughter, who was first reported missing on Dec. 12.
"You know, it's like you see a table full of candles and all lit, but then they go and snuff it out like that," she said. "That's what she did. She took the light away. Heidi was a light in everybody's life."
Heidi was mother to newborn baby Margo Carey, as well as a 6-year-old son named Silas.
"I will keep talking about her and keep her alive in their hearts," Tammy said on Dateline. "She was the biggest blessing in our life."

On Tuesday, Fieramusca was indicted on charges of capital murder and kidnapping in the death of her friend Heidi. The one-page indictment obtained by PEOPLE alleges that Fieramusca, 34, asphyxiated Heidi, 33, by "ligature strangulation" — with "a leash" and with "her hands."

Heidi and then-2-week-old baby Margo went missing in December. After an intense search, the infant was found alive a week later in the Houston-area home where Fieramusca was living, authorities said. Broussard's body was discovered inside the trunk of a vehicle in the driveway of the home.
In early January, the baby was reunited with her father and brother after being held for a DNA test in order to positively identify her.

Fieramusca's attorney, Brian Erskine, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Tuesday, but told CNN in a statement: "Exculpatory and mitigating evidence has a shelf-life, and too many individuals in our criminal justice system have been delayed or denied this information."
"We cannot act to fairly and vigorously represent our Client when we start defending her with our hands tied and eyes blindfolded," he said. "Justice ought to be blind, not the defense."
More of Tammy's interview with Dateline will air at 10 p.m. on Friday night on NBC.

Gareth Southgate is bringing Trent Alexander-Arnold to the World Cup, Reds.
The news has just been confirmed by respected journalists Paul Joyce and James Pearce.
At the beginning of this season, Alexander-Arnold was set to support Nathaniel Clyne as our right-back sub, but an impressive summer and an injury to his more experienced team-mate pushed him up the pecking order.
Fellow youngster Joe Gomez also played well at right-back, but injuries to the 21-year-old have taken their toll and the position is now very much Trent's.
Highlights of his campaign include pocketing Leroy Sane in two legs against Manchester City and an equally impressive outing in the first-leg of the semi-final with AS Roma.
Before his 50th senior appearance and his 20th birthday, Trent will have played in a Champions League Final and the World Cup.
There's dream seasons – and then there's dream seasons!


No problem ... Do not forget to check for any Errors ..
I did the scannow thing yesterday. It basically said there were no issues to report.
I did mean the Performance Issues ..
Okay. I will just work on it this afternoon. But, the link you provided told me to do the sfc /scannow command. I did that yesterday, and it didn't find any errors.
Are there any Issues there ?
I will check this afternoon and let you know.
Now defrag the hard drive. I prefer Puran Defrag Boot Time defrag with full Disk Check. This gets at System files which would be running otherwise, and checks the file system over first.
Okay. I will use both yours and Maxie's suggestions.


This broad, sandy beach at the base of a bluff south of Santa Cruz stretches for about a mile and features wide-open views, picnic areas, campground, interpretive center, fishing pier and, curiously, the hull of a concrete freighter built in 1910 for use in World War I but never launched. In 1929, the ship was towed to its present location and used for two seasons as an amusement center with heated swimming pool, café, dance floor and concessions. The venture failed, the ship was stripped and has sat there, stirring imaginations, ever since. Dogs are allowed on the beach but must be leashed.

Worried About Medication Labeling Compliance?
Regulatory standards and guidelines for medication labeling in hospitals and health facilities are complex and compliance is required to maintain accreditation. Consistent, compliant medication labels are vital as a patient safety strategy and crucial to assuring your healthcare facility meets the standards overseen by The Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other regulatory agencies.
Developing a process that meets labeling standards while also ensuring ease of use for anesthesiologists and other clinical providers creates a complex challenge.
All healthcare facilities face the same fundamental medication labeling challenges: Burdens on anesthesia teams create spotty compliance and complexities create inefficient and error- prone processes that can cripple compounded drug workflows in the pharmacy.

Falsifying Records?! Nursing Home Fraud
On Behalf of York Law Firm | Mar 9, 2021 | Blog, Elder Abuse, Insurance Fraud, Nursing home Abuse, Nursing Home Neglect, Recent Articles
At York Law Firm, it's fair to say that we've seen it all when it comes to nursing homes. Elder care is big business, so companies involved in providing long-term care are prone to look for ways to cut corners, shave costs, and goose profits. Most of the time, that involves straight-up understaffing, where facilities purposefully hire fewer nursing staff to lower labor costs. When pressed, they'll say that they tried to hire more nurses, but they weren't able to do so. The argument is absurd, but they think it gives them some measure of cover.
How big of a problem is Nursing Home Fraud and Falsifying Records?
Now from Pennsylvania comes news of a different kind of understaffing scheme. According to the York Daily Record, the U.S. Attorney and the Pennsylvania Attorney General filed criminal charges against the administrator of the for-profit facility called Mount Lebanon Rehabilitation and Wellness Center. The indictment states that between October 10, 2018, and February 20, 2020, the administrator falsified records to make it appear that the facility met federal and state staffing requirements.
According to the indictment, the administrator told nurses to clock in for shifts but not work. In that way, the facility was able to keep two sets of staffing level books, one with actual hours, which they used to pay employees and a second that they shared with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, showing inflated staffing levels that met minimum requirements. If convicted, the administrator faces up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $250,000, or both.
The Justice Department alleges that multiple schemes were at play during the 16 months:
Falsified timecards and two sets of records.
Bonuses were paid to staff for work they did not do (the bonuses being less than the cost of actual labor) as a way to induce employees to cooperate in the scheme.
Staff routinely did not 'clock out' during lunch breaks to cover up the fact that no one was providing care to residents during such times.
Administrators gave falsified documents to DOH investigators.
None of the nursing facility's fraud schemes comes as any surprise to us at York Law Firm. In the process of investigating elder abuse and neglect at for-profit long-term care facilities, we often find administrators and staff falsifying documents and electronic records to cover up negligence, scams, wrongdoing, fraud, and other acts. This is what is shocking — that this case is finally being investigated and that an administrator is criminally charged. Why? Because criminal charges are rare but should be happening more often.
Schemes such as this one uncovered in Pennsylvania are disturbing. Seniors are being deprived of the care they deserve, and our government (meaning you and me ultimately) pay for their fraud schemes. This case should serve as a warning shot to other for-profit nursing home chains that the U.S. Attorney, State Attorney Generals, and the IRS are ready, willing, and able to hold them accountable. It's about time.
Attorney Wendy York of York Law Firm specializes in handling nursing home fraud, elder abuse and wrongful death cases in California on behalf of the victim and family. If you or a loved one are in need of legal assistance please contact Wendy today!

'How I Did It'
Trevor Noah Imagines Darth Vader Voiced by Donald Trump: 'They've Never Seen a Better Father' (Video)
He also threw in impressions as Chris Rock and John Oliver following the news of James Earl Jones' retirement
Katie Campione | September 27, 2022 @ 8:58 AM
Trevor Noah voicing Donald Trump as Darth Vader on "The Daily Show" (via Comedy Central)
James Earl Jones is retiring from voicing Darth Vader and, even though Disney will use artificial intelligence to recreate his voice for future projects, Trevor Noah couldn't help but imagine what it would sound like if someone else took on the iconic voice role during Monday's episode of "The Daily Show."
Before jumping into the impressions, he joked: "You see? 'The Little Mermaid becomes Black and they take away James Earl Jones! I told you there would be backlash!"
"I'm joking," he continued, adding that he was "a little nervous" about the idea that artificial intelligence would be used to keep using Jones' voice for the part.
"We think A.I. is going to take over the world, and now we're going to teach it to use the dark side of the Force? No one thinks this is a bad idea?" he said.
But, he had to admit that A.I. seemed like a better solution than bringing someone else in for the role, adding: "The last thing we need is them opening the role up to other famous people. You know when they do that with roles and then it becomes weird? Can you imagine Darth Vader voiced by someone else?"

Well, we don't actually have to imagine, because Noah did it for us! He proceeded to give us impressions of Chris Rock, John Oliver and Donald Trump voicing the "Star Wars" character.
As Chris Rock, he began: "Luke, I am your father! But until your mama shows me the paternity test, you can just call me Uncle Darth."
Noah then moved on to fellow late night host John Oliver, saying: "And for our main story tonight, I am your father. That's right, Luke. I am your daddy. And yes, that upsets me as much as it upsets you, Luke."
Last but not least, he had to get in a zinger about Donald Trump: "A lot of people are saying I'm your father, Luke. They're saying they've never seen a better father, and they're right. I love all my children. It's you, it's Ivanka, and that's it."

Gahkuch — Severe lighting and thunderstorm has hit the Single Valley of Ghizar District in Gilgit-Baltistan, causing severe mudslide downstream. The powerful lighting hit the valley gorge (Nala) at about 7.10 A.M, immediately spurring flood in the stream.
The rising water in the stream immediately impelled off route mudslide that has inflicted widespread damage to standing crops, trees and other property in Single. The connecting bridges on the stream have been toppled by the flood.
Reports also confirmed that the power supply to the district headquarter has been dismantled, for the floods have washed out water supply channel along the river to the main power house in Single. Ghizar-Shandur road also has been deranged.
Rising level of torrential flood in the small streams in parts of Ghizar has increased the water level in Ghizar River, posing risk to the Ghizar road and adjacent properties.
Ghizar Deputy Commissioner (DC) and other officials have arrived on the spot to analyse and restore the situation. The power to the district headquarters, Gahkuch, is cut off currently and, efforts are being made to restore the power.

A new draft of EU GMP Chapter 5 "Production" has been issued by the European Medicines Agency.
Changes have been made to sections 17 to 21, including adding a new section, to improve the guidance on prevention of cross-contamination and to refer to toxicological assessment. Changes were also introduced in sections 27 to 30, including adding a new section, on the qualification of suppliers in order to reflect the legal obligation of manufacturing authorisation holders to ensure that active substances are produced in accordance with GMP. The changes include supply chain traceability.
