Please see the House of Commons note on Sewer Flooding. This note provides information on sewer flooding from public sewers including liabilities, compensation and prevention.
Since October 1, 2011 property owners are no longer responsible for private sewers and lateral drains. New legislation has transferred responsibility for these pipes to Thames Water. Property owners will still be responsible for the length of drain that takes wastewater away from their property up to its boundary or to where it becomes a public sewer.
However, privately-owned septic tanks and cesspits and their connecting pipework, large multi-occupier commercial sites (i.e. hospital, caravan park or industrial estate), or other systems which do not connect to the public sewer, such as surface water pipes which discharge directly to a watercourse, will not be transferred to the water company.
Private pumping stations will be transferred by October 2016. This will give sewerage companies time to find and survey all these stations, and to work out what works are required to enable them to be adopted.
The Government has estimated that the transfer will increase customers' bills by between £3 and £14 per year. This small increase in your bill will protect you against the much larger one-off costs of clearing blockages and making repairs yourself.
If you believe the sewer is blocked you need to contact the relevant company. Check your sewerage bill to confirm which company to contact.
New legislation requires that all householders must register their septic tank systems with Environment Agency for a "permit" or "registered permit exemption". The permit will control potential pollution to local environment and water courses. Registration is currently free.

Coaching mentorship programs having big impact on pair of local athletes
October 19, 2021 | 2 min read

Many athletes consider making the transition to coaching, but few do, or at least get the opportunity to do so.
That's not the case for two local athletes.
Brock women's hockey player Carley Blomberg, and former Niagara College men's basketball player Lequan Hylton have been rewarded with tremendous opportunities.
Blomberg is one of just six university women's hockey players from across the country selected to participate in Creating Coaches, a new program made possible by a partnership between U SPORTS and The Hockey Canada Foundation to increase the number of female coaches in Canada.
"I am honoured and excited to have been selected for this program," said Blomberg, a fifth year Recreation and Leisure Studies student.
"It's truly an honour to be part of something like this. This is an excellent opportunity to develop my skills as a coach further and pursue coaching after my U SPORTS playing career."
Blomberg found out about the opportunity through Badgers head coach, and former Team Canada player and coach Margot Page.
"Coaching has always been a passion of mine," Blomberg explained. "I hope to develop my skills as a coach, be a role model for other girls and women, and empower others to participate in sport and seek leadership roles.
Margot was key in getting me this opportunity, and I still don't know how to thank her for it."
Page feels Blomberg's attitude and hard work on and off the ice makes her a perfect coaching candidate for the future.
"Carley is going to have such an amazing experience in this program, " said Page. "She will be a sponge and absorb everything to grow and develop into an amazing coach.
She excels in all that she does and is always there to guide and help others in any way that she can. It makes it easier for a coach when you have leaders like Carley on the team."
Unlike Blomberg, Hylton is already getting his opportunity to coach.
Hylton was one of 10 apprentice coaches selected to participate in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) Mentorship Program, in partnership with the Coaches Association of Ontario (CAO) over the next two years.
Niagara College men's basketball head coach, Phil Mosley, will serve in the role of mentor for the next two years.
"This is an amazing opportunity for Lequan to make a successful transition from player to coach in the OCAA," said Mosley, who coached Hylton at Niagara from 2015-2020.
"I am excited to work with him as his mentor coach and the support offered by the Coaches Association of Ontario will be an invaluable resource."
Hylton credits Mosley's consistency and respect for his players as attributes that he hopes to replicate in the future.
"I am thrilled to be accepted for this mentorship program," Hylton said.
"I am eager to learn, grow and compete as a coach in the OCAA. Having the opportunity to learn from Coach Phil and have the support of (Niagara College Associate Director of Athletics and Recreation) Michele O'Keefe, I couldn't ask for a better opportunity to maximize my knowledge and coaching abilities."

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) mediates NLRP3-NEK7 inflammasome induction independently of PAFR

The role of lipids in inflammasome activation remains underappreciated. The phospholipid, platelet-activating factor (PAF), exerts multiple physiological functions by binding to a G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor (PAFR). PAF is associated with a number of inflammatory disorders, yet the molecular mechanism underlying its proinflammatory function remains to be fully elucidated. We show that multiple PAF isoforms and PAF-like lipids can activate the inflammasome, resulting in IL-1β and IL-18 maturation. This is dependent on NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and NEK7, but not on NLRC4, NLRP1, NLRP6, AIM2, caspase-11, or GSDMD. Inflammasome activation by PAF also requires potassium efflux and calcium influx but not lysosomal cathepsin or mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. PAF exacerbates peritonitis partly through inflammasome activation, but PAFR is dispensable for PAF-induced inflammasome activation in vivo or in vitro. These findings reveal that PAF represents a damage-associated signal that activates the canonical inflammasome independently of PAFR and provides an explanation for the ineffectiveness of PAFR antagonist in blocking PAF-mediated inflammation in the clinic.

Plaintiffs Represented by Schlichter Bogard & Denton Prevail on Motion to Dismiss Case Involving Allegations of Poisoning of Peruvian Children
In a significant ruling in the longstanding case involving the alleged poisoning of hundreds of Peruvian children, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has decided in favor of plaintiffs on a majority of the arguments brought by defendants, including Ira L. Rennert, in their motion to dismiss. The Court ruled that U.S. state and not Peruvian law controls, that Mr. Rennert will be potentially personably liable, and that punitive damages will apply.
"This decision enables the children of La Oroya to have their day in court with the billionaire who we allege caused permanent brain damage to them and damaged their community," said Jerry Schlichter, managing partner of Schlichter Bogard & Denton, attorneys for the plaintiffs. "We look forward to our day in court."
The plaintiff Peruvian children, some of whom are now adults, live near the La Oroya complex, a smelting and refining complex owned and operated by Ira Rennert, the defendant companies, and their Peruvian subsidiary. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to warn the community of the release of toxic metals and gases, which can damage the circulatory and respiratory systems and lead to lung cancer. A study conducted by the Saint Louis University School of Public Health shows that over 99 percent of children in La Oroya have blood lead levels that are known to be associated with permanent injuries.

Bowman leads a 1-2-3-4 finish for Hendrick Motorsports at Dover
By Andrew Kim
DOVER, DELAWARE - MAY 16: Alex Bowman, driver of the #48 Ally Chevrolet, does a burnout after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Drydene 400 at Dover International Speedway on May 16, 2021 in Dover, Delaware. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images).
It was an historic day for Hendrick Motorsports as Alex Bowman assumed the lead under the final 100 laps following a stellar pit stop from his crew and went on to beat teammate Kyle Larson and win the Drydene 400 at Dover International Speedway on Sunday, May 16, as he also led a 1-2-3-4 finish for the HMS organization.
The starting lineup was based on a performance metric formula, weighing the driver's and owner's results from a previous Cup event, the owner points position and the fastest lap recorded from a previous Cup race. With that, Martin Truex Jr., winner of last weekend's event at Darlington Raceway, started on pole position and was joined on the front row with Denny Hamlin, teammate and the regular-season points leader.
Prior to the race, Chase Elliott dropped to the rear of the field due to his car failing pre-race inspection twice. Ryan Newman also dropped to the rear due to unapproved adjustments. Josh Berry, who was making his NASCAR Cup debut in the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, also dropped to the rear of the field due to a driver change as he replaced Justin Haley, who was absent from the Cup event and Saturday's Xfinity Series event due to COVID-19 protocols.
When the green flag waved and the race commenced, Truex launched ahead with the lead followed by Kyle Larson, Hamlin and Kyle Busch. Truex, though, was able to lead the first lap with the field behind jostling for position.
Through the first 10 laps of the event, Truex continued to lead by half a second over Larson and nearly seven-tenths of a second over William Byron. Hamlin was in fourth followed by Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Chris Buescher and Christopher Bell.
Five laps later, Byron, who had taken over the runner-up spot over teammate Larson, started to close in on Truex for the lead. Another lap later, Byron powered his No. 24 AXALTA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE to the lead.
By Lap 20, Byron was leading teammate Larson and Harvick while Truex slipped back to fourth place ahead of teammate Hamlin.
By Lap 30 and with the leaders approaching lapped traffic, Byron continued to lead by a narrow margin over teammate Larson. Meanwhile, Kyle Busch, who was running in the top 10, had fallen back to 12th place after reporting a mechanical issue to his No. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry.
When the field reached the competition caution on Lap 35, Byron maintained the lead over teammate Larson, Harvick, Truex and Hamlin. By then, Chase Elliott, who started at the rear of the field, was in 17th while Kyle Busch, who continued to have mechanical issues with his car, had fallen back to 23rd. In addition, names like Ryan Preece, Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Cole Custer and Aric Almirola were spared from being lapped by Byron.
Under the competition caution, the leaders pitted and Larson was able to exit pit road ahead of teammate Byron. Following the pit stops, Tyler Reddick, Corey LaJoie and Michael McDowell were sent to the rear of the field for speeding on pit road.
When the race restarted on Lap 40, Larson took off with the lead followed by Harvick.
By Lap 50, Larson was out in front by half a second over Harvick while Byron, Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin were in the top five. Chris Buescher was in sixth followed by Brad Keselowski, Logano, Alex Bowman and Elliott. Truex was back in 11th followed by Austin Dillon, Christopher Bell, Bubba Wallace and rookie Chase Briscoe. Kyle Busch was in 29th, the final car on the lead lap.
Three laps later, Kyle Busch, who continued to battle engine issues, was lapped by Larson. Meanwhile, Byron, who continued to run in third place, radioed brake issues to his car.
Through the first 70 laps of the event, Larson remained in the lead by nearly two seconds over Harvick followed by Byron. Behind, Corey LaJoie pitted due to a flat tire.
Five laps later, Larson extended his advantage to more than two seconds over Harvick followed by Byron, Blaney and Hamlin. Buescher, Logano, Keselowski, Elliott and Bowman all remained in the top 10 ahead of Austin Dillon and Truex, who was struggling with pace.
At the Lap 100 mark, Larson continued to lead by more than four seconds over Harvick followed by Byron, Blaney and Hamlin. Elliott moved up to sixth followed by Buescher, Logano, Bowman and Keselowski.
In the closing laps of the first stage, Larson increased his advantage to more than seven seconds. Behind, Hamlin moved up to second place followed by Blaney, Harvick and Elliott while Byron fell back to sixth.
On the final lap of the first stage, Chase Briscoe, who was trying to remain on the lead lap ahead of leader Larson, scrubbed the outside wall in Turn 1, though he was able to prevent the car from spinning. The debris from Briscoe's damaged car was enough for the first stage to conclude under caution as Larson was able to claim his fifth stage victory of the season. Hamlin maintained the runner-up spot followed by Blaney, Elliott and Harvick while Byron, Logano, Bowman, Buescher and Keselowski were in the top 10.
Under the stage break, the leaders pitted and Larson maintained the lead following his pit service. Hamlin exited in second place followed by Elliott, Blaney and Logano. Soon after, Truex made another pit stop to have damage to the front of his car repaired.
The second stage started on Lap 129 with Larson and Hamlin on the front row. At the start, Larson maintained the lead while Elliott drew his No. 9 NAPA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE alongside Hamlin's No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry for the runner-up spot.
By Lap 135, Larson was leading by eight-tenths of a second over teammate Elliott followed by Blaney, Hamlin and Logano. Harvick, Buescher, Austin Dillon, Kurt Busch and Byron were in the top 10.
Through the first 150 laps of the event, Larson remained as the leader followed by teammate Elliott, Blaney, Hamlin and Logano. Harvick was in sixth followed by Byron, Buescher, Austin Dillon and Alex Bowman. Kurt Busch and Keselowski were in 11th and 12th, Truex was in 14th ahead of Daniel Suarez, Bubba Wallace was in 17th behind Tyler Reddick and Kyle Busch was in 36th, eight laps behind. By then, names like Cole Custer, Erik Jones, Ryan Newman, Ryan Preece, Christopher Bell, Matt DiBenedetto, Michael McDowell and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were a lap behind.
More than 20 laps later, the caution returned when Josh Berry scrubbed the wall in Turn 2. Prior to the pit road opening for the leaders, Blaney pitted to have a hole on the front of his car fixed and due to a flat tire. When the pits opened, the leaders pitted and Larson retained the lead after exiting ahead of Elliott, Hamlin, Harvick and Byron.
When the race restarted on Lap 176, Larson launched ahead with a strong start followed by Elliott and Hamlin while Harvick and Byron battled for fourth place. In addition, Bowman, the fourth Hendrick Motorsports competitor, joined the party in sixth place.
By Lap 190, Larson extended his advantage to seven-tenths of a second over teammate Elliott while Hamlin, Byron and Harvick continued to run in the top five. A few laps later, Penske teammates Logano and Keselowski nearly made contact with one another in Turn 1 while battling for eighth place.
At the halfway mark on Lap 200, Larson was leading by nearly a second over teammate Elliott while teammate Byron trailed by nearly five seconds. Hamlin was in fourth while Bowman was in fifth, marking all four Hendrick Motorsports competitors in the top five. Harvick was in sixth followed by Kurt Busch, Keselowski, Austin Dillon and Aric Almirola.
By Lap 220, all four Hendrick Motorsports competitors were running first through fourth, with Larson leading Elliott, Bowman moving up in third and Byron back in fourth. Hamlin was in fifth followed by Harvick, Kurt Busch, Keselowski, Austin Dillon and Almirola. Logano, meanwhile, was in 13th behind Reddick and Truex.
Despite having teammate Elliott closing in for the lead, Larson was able to pull away late as he approached lapped traffic and win the second stage on Lap 240 for his sixth stage victory of the season. Elliott followed behind in second place followed by teammates Bowman and Byron while Hamlin was in fifth. Harvick, Kurt Busch, Keselowski, Austin Dillon and Reddick were scored in the top 10. By then, names like Wallace and Logano remained on the lead lap.
Under the stage break, the leaders pitted and Larson retained the lead following another stellar stop from his pit crew followed by Bowman, Elliott, Byron and Kurt Busch.
With 152 laps remaining, the final stage started. At the start, Larson rocketed away with another strong start while teammates Bowman and Elliott battled for the runner-up spot. Behind, a three-wide battle ensued between Harvick, Keselowski and Hamlin with Harvick moving into sixth place behind Kurt Busch while ahead of Keselowski and Hamlin.
Down to the final 135 laps of the event, Larson was out in front by more than two seconds over teammate Bowman with teammate Byron trailing by nearly three seconds and teammate Elliott trailing by three seconds. Kurt Busch, meanwhile, remained in fifth followed by Harvick, Keselowski, Hamlin, Austin Dillon, Reddick, Blaney, Ross Chastain, Almirola, Logano, Suarez and Truex.
Fifteen laps later, Larson stabilized his advantage to nearly three seconds over teammate Bowman with his other two teammates, Byron and Elliott, trailing by more than four seconds. Harvick was in fifth place, trailing by more than seven seconds, after overtaking former teammate Kurt Busch.
Down to the final 100 laps of the race, Larson remained in the lead followed by teammates Bowman, Byron and Elliott with Harvick in fifth. A lap later, though, the caution returned when Aric Almirola made hard contact into the Turn 3 outside wall after he blew a right-front tire, with fire eventually flaming out of Almirola's car. The on-track incident marked Almirola's fifth DNF and his sixth result of 30th or worse this season.
Under the caution period, the leaders pitted and Bowman, whose pit crew clocked off a fast pit service, emerged with the lead ahead of teammates Larson, Elliott and Byron with Harvick coming out in fifth.
With 92 laps remaining, the race restarted and Bowman maintained the lead over Larson and Elliott. Behind, Harvick overtook Byron for fourth with Hamlin lurking behind.
Six laps later, the caution returned when a bump from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. sent rookie Anthony Alfredo sideways and spinning to the inside wall in Turn 2, where he made contact with the wall. In the midst of the incident, Stenhouse and Keselowski received minor damage to their respective machines.
Under caution, a majority of competitors led by Hamlin pitted while the rest led by Bowman remained on the track. Overall, all four Hendrick competitors along with Harvick, Tyler Reddick, Daniel Suarez and Bubba Wallace remained on the track.
With 81 laps remaining, the race restarted. At the start, Bowman pulled ahead followed by Larson while Elliott struggled to launch on the inside lane. Despite Larson challenging teammate Bowman for the lead through Turns 1 and 2, Harvick pulled his No. 4 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang alongside Larson's No. 5 Nations Guard Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE in Turn 3, which allowed Bowman to maintain the lead.
While Bowman continued to lead under the final 75 laps, Larson remained within sight of the lead by nearly seven-tenths of a second followed by Elliott, Harvick and Byron. Suarez and Reddick maintained sixth and seventh while Wallace battled owner Hamlin for eighth place.
Just then, debris drew the caution, which jumbled the field and erased Bowman's lead over teammate Larson. Under caution, a majority of the leaders remained on the track while others like Logano, Custer pitted.
The race restarted with 70 laps remaining and with teammates Bowman and Larson on the front row. At the start, Bowman maintained the lead followed by Larson and Elliott while Byron retook fourth place over Harvick.
Under the final 60 laps of the event, on-track battling occurring and with weather threats looming near the track, Bowman remained as the leader under half a second over a hard-charging Larson followed by Elliott, Byron and Harvick. Reddick, Suarez, Hamlin, Wallace and Logano were in the top 10 followed by Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain, Kurt Busch, Custer and Truex.
With 50 laps remaining, Bowman continued to lead by half a second over teammate Larson with teammates Elliott and Byron remaining in third and fourth. Harvick remained in fifth followed by Reddick, Suarez, Logano, Hamlin and Wallace, who had Blaney challenging him for more.
Down to the final 35 laps of the event, Bowman was leading by more than a second over teammate Larson while Elliott, Byron and Harvick stabilized themselves in the top five. Reddick, Logano, Suarez, Hamlin and Wallace also stabilized themselves in the top 10.
With 20 laps remaining, the gap between leader Bowman and runner-up Larson remained to more than a second, with teammate Elliott behind by more than two seconds and teammate Byron trailing by more than seven seconds. Harvick remained in fifth place while Logano overtook Reddick for sixth place. A few laps later, Custer overtook Wallace for 10th place.
Under the final 10 laps, the No. 48 Ally Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE driven by Bowman continued to lead by more than a second over teammate Larson, who continued to lose ground on his teammate for the top spot. Bowman maintained his healthy advantage under the final five laps of the event.
With no challengers closing in to his rear bumper, Bowman was able to come back around and claim the checkered flag ahead of his three HMS teammates.
The Dover victory marked Bowman's first at the Monster Mile, fourth of his Cup Series career and second of this season as he joined Martin Truex Jr. as the only multi-winners of this year's Cup season. He also returned the iconic No. 48 car to Victory Lane at Dover for the first time since 2017 made by Jimmie Johnson, who won at Dover 11 times. The 1-2-3-4 finish was a first for HMS and the fourth time done by a NASCAR team.
"We won Richmond and then had a really rough couple weeks there," Bowman said on FS1. "[We] Went to some really good race tracks for us and struggled. [I] Told the guys last week, 'We're still the same team that did it at Richmond.' It's another really good place for us. I'm just so pumped for Ally. It feels right to put the No. 48 back in Victory Lane here after how many races this car has won here. Mr. [Hendrick] is here, I don't think I've won with him here befrore, so that's really cool. Just so proud of this pit crew. It was a rough off-season for us and a big void to fill…The whole pit crew's doing a really good job. Thanks to my spotter, Kevin Hamlin, for coaching me there at the end. It was fun racing Kyle [Larson] and glad to get Hendrick Motorsports another win."
With the Dover victory and career win No. 267, Hendrick Motorsports is one win away from tying Petty Enterprises for the most victories all-time in the Cup Series. In addition, Chevrolet is one win away from achieving 800 victories in NASCAR's premier series.
"I can guarantee you, this is the most nervous I've ever been in a race," Rick Hendrick said. "Great day for the organization. Alex, congratulations to him. This is a sign of the guys working together and bringing good stuff to the track. I don't think it'll hit me till tomorrow that we were able to finish 1-2-3-4. That's pretty hard to do, things can happen, pit stops, tires, anything. That's a first. We'll take it. It's a great day for us."
Larson, who led a race-high 263 laps, crossed the finish line in second place, two seconds behind, and for his third runner-up result of the season.
"I felt like all of us, HMS guys, were pretty equal, so it was like whoever got out to the lead was gonna be hard to beat," Larson said. "[Bowman's] team just really did a good job on that pit stop, gain control of the race and never really had a shot after that. That one restart, I got to his bumper and got him loose, but [Harvick] was coming, so we had to let each other go, but hard to be disappointed with that second. I felt like I did everything I could. We led a lot of laps, won both stages. Good points, but I would've liked to have been one spot better…What a day for Hendrick Motorsports and Chevrolet. Thanks to everybody at the shop, the engine shop. This is pretty amazing…That's a pretty special day, for sure."
Elliott finished in third place, three-and-a-half seconds behind, as he has yet to win this season. Byron capped off the 1-2-3-4 finish for Hendrick Motorsports by finishing fourth as he also captured his 11th consecutive top-10 result.
Logano emerged as the highest-finishing non-Hendrick Motorsports competitor by finishing fifth while Harvick, Hamlin, Reddick, Suarez and Custer finished in the top 10.
Wallace claimed his first top-15 finish of this season and for 23XI Racing by finishing 11th ahead of Blaney, Kurt Busch, Austin Dillon and Chastain. Keselowski finished 16th, Truex came home in 19th and Kyle Busch capped off his long afternoon in 27th. Josh Berry finished 30th in his Cup debut.
There were 10 lead changes for five different leaders. The race featured seven cautions for 41 laps.
Denny Hamlin continues to lead the regular-season standings by 101 points over William Byron and 102 over Martin Truex Jr.
With the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series regular-season stretch halfway complete, 10 competitors (Martin Truex Jr., Alex Bowman, William Byron, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Christopher Bell and Michael McDowell) are currently guaranteed a spot in the Playoffs based on winning at least once. Denny Hamlin would also be guaranteed a spot based on leading the regular-season standings. Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick are inside the top-16 cutline to the Playoffs as winless competitors, with Reddick ahead by 17 points over Matt DiBenedetto, 30 over Kurt Busch, 32 over Ricky Stenhouse Jr., 38 over Ryan Newman, 49 over Bubba Wallace, 56 over Daniel Suarez and 58 over Ross Chastain.

Empire of Japan, historical Japanese empire founded on January 3, 1868, when supporters of the emperor Meiji overthrew Yoshinobu, the last Tokugawa shogun. Power would remain nominally vested in the imperial house until the defeat of Japan in World War II and the enactment of Japan's postwar constitution on May 3, 1947.
Japan, Empire ofThe Empire of Japan, 1870–1942. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
The period that came to be known as the Meiji Restoration has as its focal point the coronation of the boy emperor Mutsuhito, who took as his reign name Meiji, or "Enlightened Rule." With the ascent of Meiji, the throne replaced the Tokugawa bakufu, or shogunate, as the central executive power of Japan. The slogan of "return to antiquity" (fukkō) made it possible to interpret the sweeping changes as traditional in motivation. In reality the "restoration" represented a dramatic social and political shift that had begun well before the rise of Meiji and did not reach its conclusion until near the turn of the century.

The arrival of Westerners in the 1850s added a new dimension to domestic politics. In July 1853 an American naval force commanded by Commodore Matthew C. Perry entered the fortified harbour of Uraga. Perry refused to comply with requests to leave, and he delivered the demand that Japan end its policy of isolation and establish diplomatic relations with the United States. The following year Perry returned with a much larger fleet, and it soon became clear that the shōgun (Japanese: "barbarian-subduing generalissimo") was unable to protect Japan from this new wave of "barbarians." Concessions were made to them in spite of the objections of the imperial court in Kyōto, and the foundations of the shogun's claims to power—loyalty to and protection of the throne—appeared to be crumbling. The ratification of the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854), the Harris Treaty (1858), and other agreements with Western powers triggered a wave of antagonism from Kyōto; tensions that had been building during long years of peace and relative stability were suddenly brought to the surface. The slogan "Sonnō jōi" ("Revere the emperor! Drive out the barbarians!") was first raised by men who sought to influence the shogunal policy, but it was later taken up by others who wished to embarrass the Tokugawa.

The stirrings of revolution did not immediately centre in distant fiefs but instead in the Tokugawa house of Mito, which had done much to advance Confucian scholarship. The Mito daimyo, Tokugawa Nariaki, made vigorous attempts to involve Kyōto in the affairs of the bakufu with a view toward establishing a nationwide program of preparedness. For his assertiveness, he was placed under house arrest by tairō Ii Naosuke, the head of the council of elders in Edo (now Tokyo). On March 24, 1860, a band of Nariaki's supporters assassinated Ii and ushered in years of violence. Many of those who took part in the subsequent fighting were young samurai who directed their martial prowess toward both foreigners and rival clans. Their swords availed little against Western guns, but they took a heavy toll on their domestic political enemies.

The years which followed were a time of extremism. The shogunate, anxious to rally support among its feudatories and to help them to prepare their defenses, relaxed its controls and regulations concerning attendance at the court in Edo. In doing so, it increased the opportunities for intrigue and conspiracy. In many fiefs young samurai endeavoured to push their feudal superiors into a less cautious and more strongly anti-foreign position. However, it soon became obvious that expelling the foreigners by force was impossible. Each anti-foreign act provoked stern countermeasures and diplomatic indemnities which tightened the Western hold on the country. The Japanese were fully aware of the outcome of the Opium Wars in China, and after the bombardment of Kagoshima (1863) and Shimonoseki (1864) there could not be any doubt of Western military superiority. Thereafter, slogans advocating antagonism and exclusion toward foreigners were used chiefly as a means of obstructing and shaming the shogunate. Policy makers in Edo were forced to make surface concessions to the anti-foreign elements, but this succeeded only in arousing the hostility of Western treaty partners. After the arrival of British minister Harry Parkes in 1865, Great Britain in particular began to tire of the difficulties of negotiating with a bakufu which stood between it and the court in Kyōto. It began to consider ways of dealing directly with what it perceived as the centre of ultimate authority.

By this time, samurai in Chōshū (now part of Yamaguchi prefecture) in far southwestern Honshu had decided to act. In 1864 they orchestrated a military coup that installed a group of former leaders of the anti-foreign movement into the inner council of the daimyo of Chōshū. These men were no longer blindly xenophobic. A group that came to be known as the Chōshū Five had secretly traveled to England to study at University College in London. Among these men were future prime minister Itō Hirobumi and future genrō ("elder statesman") Inoue Kaoru. Their goal was nothing less than the overthrow of the shogunate and the creation of a new regime with the emperor at its head. They developed militia units that used Western training methods and weapons and included commoners alongside samurai. Discontented samurai from other domains flocked to Chōshū, and the fief became a centre of anti-Tokugawa resistance. In 1866, believing that the shogun was attempting to enlist French aid to create a centralized despotic government, Chōshū allied itself with Satsuma, the dominant feudal domain in Kyushu.
In 1866 the Tokugawa mobilized a large force in an attempt to crush Chōshū, but the daimyo of Hiroshima—the domain that was to be the staging area of the invasion—openly defied the shogun and refused to contribute troops. The punitive expedition was a disaster for the Tokugawa. Despite being significantly outnumbered, the Chōshū rebels demonstrated the superiority of Western weapons and tactics and delivered an embarrassing defeat to the shogunate. The death of the child shogun Iemochi in August 1866 allowed the Tokugawa to negotiate a face-saving truce with Chōshū, but the damage to the prestige of the shogunate had already been done.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu. National Diet Library
Hitotsubashi Keiki, the son of Tokugawa Nariaki, was elevated to the shogunate as Tokugawa Yoshinobu. Yoshinobu was fully aware of his precarious position as well as the pressing need for national unity in the face of the West. He spurned suggestions from his advisers that he seek French help to put down the insurrection. When the lord of the domain of Tosa urged him to resign, Yoshinobu complied. He knew that it would be folly to risk yet another assault on Chōshū and Satsuma, and he was confident that he, as lord of eastern Japan, would emerge as a powerful force in whatever new political structure should develop.
The enemies of the last shogun were not to be put off so quickly, however. The young Meiji emperor, who had succeeded to the throne in 1867, was guided by the counsel of several nobles who were in close contact with the leaders of Chōshū and Satsuma. Yoshinobu found himself maneuvered into a choice between surrendering his lands, which would delegitimize him to his vassals, or appearing disobedient, which would justify punitive measures. Seeing no other choice, Yoshinobu launched an attack on Kyōto, only to be defeated. Troops from Satsuma, Chōshū, and Tosa, now marching as the imperial army, advanced on Edo, which surrendered without bloodshed. Fighting continued to the north until the summer of 1869, but the Tokugawa cause was doomed. The principal lords were summoned to the imperial palace in Kyōto in January 1868 to hear a proclamation announcing the restoration of imperial rule. Later that year the capital was moved to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo, and the building of the modern state began.

The Depot Museum and Art Gallery is celebrating it's 20th anniversary this year and we're opening the 2018 season with something brand new and exciting.
5×5 at the Depot highlights the FUN in FUNdraising with this exhibition opening at 5:00 pm on Friday, May 11, 2018.
As a Nonprofit Museum and Gallery, we at the Depot are always looking for creative and fun ways to raise the funds necessary to continue our programming. This year we are launching an exhibition of works done in a variety of mediums, conforming to a 5"x5" square and all donated by the artists.
Imagine the gallery walls lined with 50 or more pieces of original art. Visitors will have the pleasure of seeing artwork in a broad variety of mediums. Some artists work in clay, while others create in watercolor. There are acrylic paintings and works of fiber art. There are pieces of art photography and others of kiln glass. Patrons will have the opportunity to acquire another piece of a particular artist's work or to begin collecting an artist who is new to them. For some people it may be the first piece of original art they acquire. We hope to introduce original art to a whole new generation of collectors.
One of the most exciting parts of opening night will be the buying process. Unlike a traditional exhibition, where patrons casually sip wine while they contemplate and discuss the merits of a particular piece, this event has a "Finders Keepers" feel to it. The first person to "claim" a particular piece of art, adds that piece to their collection. If a person wishes to purchase art from this exhibit, they will need to have a "claim tag(s)." Claim tags will be available for purchase prior to and during the show. Claim tag in hand, visitors enter the exhibition space, find their favorite piece(s) and place their claim tag proximate to the piece they want for their own. If the artwork has already been "claimed" it is no longer available :-(. So they don't miss out, we are encouraging patrons to purchase their "claim tags" prior to the exhibit. Claim Tags are available for $55.
Some visitors will have a laser like focus, and know which work by which artist they are looking for. Other visitors may have a more wandering approach, carefully looking at each piece before making their selection. There may be some people who take a more emotionally responsive approach, placing their claim tag on the first piece of work that moves them. There is no right way or wrong way to approach this exhibit. We want the public to have fun.
5×5 at the Depot – is a fun show and an opportunity for people to pick up a wonderful piece of original art at an affordable price. All proceeds from this exhibit support the Depot Museum and Art Gallery and it's programs.

In the beginning….
Loma Rica Community Church began in the 1940's as several rural families met together for Bible study on Sunday evenings, at a time when there were no churches in Loma Rica/Browns Valley, and traveling into Marysville to attend church was a day's outing.
In the early 1950's, the group grew to a size that led them to decide to organize into a church. Because there was such a diverse background to those who comprised the group, they decided to make the new church a "Community" church, emphasizing the essential truths of the gospel, rather than denominational distinctives. Loma Rica Community Church has been focusing on what unites us in Jesus Christ ever since.
Through the years….
John Reed Moy was called to serve as the founding pastor. The church first met in the Loma Rica Grange Hall. In 1954, the current church building was dedicated. John and his wife Helen served Loma Rica Community Church and the foothill community with great energy and effectiveness.
In 1980, Wayne Vincent was called to serve with John as an associate pastor. That same year, John died unexpectedly, and Wayne became the pastor. In 1995, David Rice joined the church staff as youth pastor and later became the associate pastor. In 2018 Wayne retired, and David Rice became Pastor. Hannah Jones was hired in August 2017 as part-time Youth Ministry Leader.
Loma Rica Community Church has remained a fellowship of people united in the common commitments to love God through Jesus Christ, love one another, and make Christ known in our community, culture, and world.


Some maintain that, in either case, the allegory is cumbersome and unappealing; moreover, it is inconsistent and the narrative in places disjointed and careless as well.
And without the Latin, Italian, and French examples of the highly traditional marriage ode and the sonnet and canzone forms of Petrarch and succeeding sonneteers, Spenser could not have written his greatest lyric, Epithalamion, and its accompanying sonnets, Amoretti.
The allegory works principally on two levels—moral and political—although subsidiary spiritual, historical, and personal allegories have also been studied. In " Amoretti ," Spenser uses subtle humour and parody while praising his beloved, reworking Petrarchism in his treatment of longing for a woman.
These critics focused on close analysis of formal elements of Spenser's epic poem, a type of analysis to which The Faerie Queene readily lends itself.
Nevertheless, in Queen Elizabeth gave Spenser a small pension for life. Spenser was celebrated as a great national poet in his lifetime, and has since been recognized as a major influence on later writers, particularly the nineteenth-century Romantic poets.
The undertakers and other loyalists failed to make headway against this. His intent was to write twelve books, each featuring a central hero or heroine representing one of twelve virtues. His work has earned the approbation and respect of some of the most illustrious names in poetry: Contemporary praise of Spenser indicates that by the anonymity was technical rather than real.
His sister Sarah, who had accompanied him to Ireland, married into the Travers family, and her descendants were prominent landowners in Cork for centuries. Rather, the continued adventures of Britomart and other secondary characters occupy the central narrative of this book.
After most of his close associates in the court were dead or out of favor and so his connection to the court was especially weak by the time the later books of The Faerie Queen were published in Spenser wished to write a specifically English epic poem, thereby creating a great national literature to glorify both England and the Queen.
The ambivalence of the pastoral debate is particularly evident here because the two voices apparently represent a conflict within Spenser himself. He addressed to her the sonnet sequence Amoretti. However, matters are less harmonious in Books IV, V, and VI of The Faerie Queene, which appeared in and are strikingly more ambiguous and ironic than the first three books.
Between the s and the s, scholars of the New Criticism devoted much critical attention to Spenser's The Faerie Queene. Without receiving his payment in due time, Spenser gave the Queen this quatrain on one of her progresses: It was there that he wrote one of the greatest epic romances in English literature, The Faerie Queene.
Inhe became for a short time secretary to John YoungBishop of Rochester.

Jannecke from "Wisdom from North" interviews Katchie in Bali on the art of awakening and on naming and seeing thoughts and emotions, instead of trying to silence the mind!

Temperatures climb after a slight cool down on Tuesday, we went back to the upper 80s on Wednesday. After a stormy Tuesday in the Denver area, much calmer conditions prevailed on Wednesday. A few isolated storms could still creep our way, but overall we should stay dry.
More storms as possible for southern Colorado on Thursday, with Denver seeing just an isolated chance for storms. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s.
Friday brings an increased chance for storms, still not a super great chance but the threat is higher than Thursday.
Our best chance for storms in Denver will come on Saturday afternoon. This of course is right before the Broncos preseason game against the Bears. The chance will be highest during the late afternoon and early evening with a 30% chance of a thunderstorm near Mile High with the Broncos kickoff with the Bears Saturday evening.
Temperatures really cool down through the weekend with highs possibly down to the 70s on Saturday.

Colleges rated inadequate by Ofsted are given a chance to improve before their funding is withdrawn and it is unfair that independent training providers are not given the same opportunity, says Paul Warner.
The Skills Funding Agency's (SFA) Approach to Intervention recently set out the process by which contracts held by providers rated inadequate by Ofsted will be handled.
In the case of FE colleges, the SFA will issue a notice of concern specifying remedies to be made to allow the contract to be retained. The FE commissioner will consider how such an improvement plan should be undertaken.
Only after a further review would the SFA even consider issuing a notice of withdrawal of funding.
But when it comes to independent training providers (ITPs), the assumption is that the contracts will be terminated in all but the most exceptional circumstances.
The Education Funding Agency (EFA) has much the same policy and this is clearly iniquitous.
This "all or nothing" criteria for ITPs raises the quality stakes to a frighteningly high level, given that the imposition of an inadequate rating means summary contract termination.
The Association of Education and Learning Providers' (AELP) position is that in any review of poor quality provision, the reasons for the poor inspection and the future of the learners and employers must be taken into account.
A satisfactory rating may have been missed by a narrow margin and the issues of concern could be resolved.
Consideration should also be given to the possible adverse impact of summary closure on the availability of provision in a given geographical or occupational area.
One reason given to AELP for this unequal treatment is that the legal relationship between the state and FE colleges allows for the leadership and governance of a college to be replaced if necessary, but replacing the owner of an ITP would not be practical.
This ignores the point that it may not be the leadership and governance that needs addressing. It could be the executive management team, the replacement or modification of which is equally possible in a college or an ITP.
The effect of summary closures can also be seen down supply chains, where a sub-contractor may well be forced to close despite the fact it is delivering quality provision.
While the SFA is reasonably aware of its supply chain coverage, the EFA does not have the details of its subcontracting arrangements.
In any case, neither gives it consideration when issuing summary contract terminations.
The AELP is aware of several examples of where good quality provision in a local authority area is adversely affected. In fact vital provision in their area has been closed down on this basis without reference to their views and an indication of the timescale when any replacement may be made available.
We should also remember that there are other reasons when this intervention is implemented such as audit issues.
Again the SFA and EFA should ensure they understand the full implications of implementing an immediate response which results in closure of provision.
We have seen an example recently where it has been accepted that the provider did not make any false claims. Unfortunately, the provision was closed long before the facts were established.
It has been a core policy of AELP since its formation to support the drive for high quality provision and our policy remains as strong as ever, but we need a balanced approach to the position where an established provider receives an inadequate rating.
This response must reflect the opportunity to turn that provision around as it does for FE colleges.
In some cases, a period of review and remedy would be a better response than immediate closure, so the solution provides the best result for learners and employers.
Intervention policies at both the SFA and EFA should reflect this and give all institutions rated inadequate an equal chance to submit realistic improvement plans, before contract termination is considered.


My name is Caroline Ringel and I am this year's Panhellenic Vice President of Recruitment! I'm thrilled you're interested in joining a sorority and becoming a member of the great Greek system we have here at RPI. Coming in as a female in a male-dominated school, I was intimidated and skeptical about finding a strong group of women to call my best friends. And it was because of this fear that I first started looking into joining a sorority my fall semester of freshman year. Not only was I lucky enough to find a sorority where I felt like I fit in and could find my future best friends, but I also found a place that presented me with multiple leadership positions, academic support, volunteering opportunities, and a group of people who push me to be the best version of myself. I was also able to form a deeper bond to the overall RPI campus, as well as develop connections with girls in other houses and the Greek community as a whole. Joining this community can open so many doors for you, just like it did for me. Myself and the entire Panhellenic Council are so excited to introduce you to our amazing community, and potentially help you on your journey to join it.
Panhellenic, or sorority, recruitment is a period of time in which RPI's sororities extend offers of membership to women on campus. Throughout this process, you will meet many extraordinary women, learn about a variety of philanthropies these sororities support, and potentially find your future home. The primary recruitment period is a very structured process where you will get the opportunity to learn about each individual house and their values/beliefs. It is important to know what is expected of you throughout this process, so I encourage you to read over what each day of primary recruitment is like on our Fall Recruitment page.
To participate in recruitment, you must sign up prior to the first rotational event. Registration will open on July 16th and will remain open until the start of primary recruitment. However, I highly suggest signing up as soon as possible in order to receive important information regarding dates and events. You can sign up under the Fall Recruitment page.


Over the course of two years, Bray Architects and the Mukwonago Area School District studied building needs and potential solutions at Mukwonago Area High School. The process involved input from many sources including staff, students, school board members, district administrators, and most importantly, the community. The School Board actively sought community feedback through a Community Steering Committee consisting of 25 residents. The committee guided the review of the high school and provided the final recommendation along with a community survey, which garnered nearly 2,800 responses.
After careful review of the facilities study conducted by Bray, the final recommendation and the results of the survey, the Board placed two questions totaling $49,850,000 on the April 2016 ballot to address inadequate spaces and safety/maintenance challenges.
The end result was two successful referendums that allowed the District to construct gymnasium and auditorium additions, as well as address safety/security and maintenance concerns. Additionally, renovations were made to the cafeteria/serving kitchen, library, STEM/Technical Education spaces, and second floor classrooms.

Eosinophilic sialodochitis: Redefinition of 'allergic parotitis' and 'sialodochitis fibrinosa'
Alan Baer, A. Okuhama, David W Eisele, Jody R Tversky, Tj Gniadek
Sialodochitis fibrinosa and allergic parotitis have described rare patients with recurrent salivary gland swelling and mucus plugs, often with atopy. We have evaluated three patients with atopic disease, recurrent salivary gland swelling, and an eosinophilic sialodochitis. Two had eosinophil-rich mucus plugs. Fifty-six additional cases were identified in a medical literature database search, each defined by recurrent salivary gland swelling associated with eosinophil-rich mucus plugs or sialodochitis with periductal eosinophilic infiltration. The majority (78%) were reported from Japan. Females were predominantly affected (F:M = 2.3) with a median age of 47 years at evaluation. The parotid and submandibular glands were involved, respectively, in 71% and 46%. Allergic symptoms were present in 66%, atopic disease in 63% of those with reported allergy testing, and blood eosinophilia in 71%. Contrast sialography and other imaging modalities documented ductal dilatation in 82%. Treatments included anti-allergic medications (58%), systemic glucocorticoids (25%), duct cannulation with irrigation, steroid injection, and/or duct dilatation (36%), and glandular resection (19%). We recommend the diagnosis 'eosinophilic sialodochitis' be applied to patients who meet this case definition. The disease is a unique cause of chronic recurrent salivary gland swelling. Its likely allergic etiology may be amenable to current or future biologic therapies.

Short Takes: Music Notes
Tickets are on sale now for Mike Farris Sings! The Soul of Christmas. Slated to jingle the bells at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Bristol, Tennessee, on Friday, Dec. 6, tickets start at $22 and culminate at $97.
Bristol knows Mike Farris well. The former lead singer of alt-rock's Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies struck out on a solo career that's yielded scintillating explorations into gospel as well as rhythm and blues. He won a Grammy in 2015 for his LP, "Shine for all the People," which also nabbed a Grammy for Bristol's Chad Brown, who engineered the album.
Just before his Grammy win, Farris appeared in Bristol at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. Sold out show. With but a guitar and his world-beating voice, he rendered all who heard speechless. Memories yet linger as strong from that night's for-the-ages performance.
Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion welcomed Farris several times, including during last month's volume. In early August, the voluminous-voiced singer appeared at Theatre Bristol for a fundraiser, during which time he swept a capacity crowd as if into the clutches of his gift to serenade as if for the last time. That's Farris. He sings as if he'll never sing again, an all-out performer whose voice reaches into otherworldly terrain.
So now Farris brings Christmas to Bristol. Gifted with a voice that recalls 1960s duo Sam and Dave, Farris ensconces such classics of Christmas as "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and "Winter Wonderland" in burnished hugs of grit and soul.
For tickets and information, call 423-274-8920 or visit the Paramount box office at 518 State Street in Bristol, Tennessee. Tickets can also be purchased online athttps://www.paramountbristol.org/
