Popular mayor not immune to criticism
On October 10, 2015 By aronsbarronIn Media, Politics, Uncategorized
The Boston Globe took Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to the woodshed this week. In a 3/4 page editorial (a sign of energy unusual for the paper's diminished editorial page), the paper screamed "Enough." It proceeded to lambaste the mayor for continuing his $1 million (to date) lawsuit to stop Steve Wynn's proposed casino in neighboring Everett.
The Globe blasted Walsh's assertion that the Gaming Commission was motivated by "corrupt bias against Boston" and said the city's legal fees would be better directed to other civic purposes. The editorial noted that, as a state legislator, Walsh had approved a casino bill that failed to give surrounding communities the same right to vote on a casino as enjoyed by host communities. (Most legislators, at that point in the recession, simplistically equated casinos to job opportunities.) The problem is with the underlying law, not the Gaming Commission. More recently, Walsh, the editorial implied, was again at fault for focusing on what he deemed was an unfair process, instead of vigorously negotiating up front for more money to mitigate traffic impact on Sullivan Square.
The Globe's attack oversimplifies the dilemma Walsh faces. As he explained at a Politico forum at Bank of America, Boston's transportation plan was designed in 1997 and didn't take into account current gridlock or the effects of development in Assembly Square or Union Square in Somerville, North Point in Cambridge or, prospectively, a huge casino in Everett. Wynn's getting a permit in Everett is just step one. Notwithstanding the acrimony (and Wynn's libel suit against the Mayor), I hope that mitigation discussions quietly go forward outside the court.
Meanwhile, Walsh's constituents seem to like him a lot and are quite satisfied with his position on the Everett casino. In a recent internal poll, conducted for the mayor by Global Strategy Group, 57 percent of Bostonians feel his performance on the casino has been excellent or good. Twenty two percent says it hasn't been good, and 21 percent are undecided. About the same number (56 percent) approve his handling of the Boston 2024 Olympic bid. It's unclear if respondents based their opinions on Walsh's early support of the proposal or his getting out ahead of the independent Brattle Group's negative analysis of likely costs, or some combination.
Remarkably, the Mayor's favorability and estimates of job performance run in the high 70's. And, according to independent WBUR/MassINC polling, Walsh's favorability is running even with, or a little ahead of, popular Governor Charlie Baker's. Walsh plans to run for reelection in 2017 and at this point has no serious opposition.
The mayor has had his share of negative headlines, most recently one concerning whether a City Hall employee called the Parker House and the Menton restaurant to "warn" them about Teamsters picketing their places of business. Four Teamsters are under indictment for trying to extort the producers of the "Top Chef" television program in 2014, in a display of the kind of thuggery that scared film makers away from Massachusetts for decades. Was the phone call a threat in league with the union, or just a friendly heads up? Appropriately, Walsh has hired outside counsel to get to the bottom of things. He should surely make the findings public when they are available.
Walsh also drew fire for accepting for City Hall use kitchen cabinets and counters salvaged from a commercial renovation by developer Joe Fallon, who has ongoing business before the city. Was the mayor inappropriately accepting something of value, or was he saving the city a few bucks by upgrading decrepit City Hall facilities with materials that otherwise would be thrown out? A two-day story, to be sure, but the kind of event that could have been handled better.
It's easier to write headline stories like these than the less sexy stories about Walsh 's positive accomplishments: his steps toward creating more affordable housing, his data-driven approach to measuring performance, his substantially increasing the diversity of his administration, and, in this era of serious opiate addiction, establishing an office of recovery services.
The jury is still out on how effectively and transparently the Boston Redevelopment Authority is performing and also on the wisdom of the Mayor's compromise proposal to increase City Councilor pay. He still has to deal with sticky issues like Uber regulation and school consolidation.
Being mayor means being criticized, whether at the low end -like Donald Trump's calling him a "clown" for participating in the Ice Bucket challenge- to the higher level, like substantive editorials. It goes with the turf. He has shown less of his admittedly "thin skin" than did his predecessor, the beloved but often prickly Tom Menino.
Nearly two years into his first term, Marty Walsh is still benefiting from the extended honeymoon glow of his personal story: hometown boy who overcame struggles (cancer, addiction) to reach the city's top spot, earnest, still humble and wanting to do well by the people of his city. In the second half, he'll have to show how he has produced on his housing plan, development, transportation and other concrete indices. Plus, another winter is coming. He should also be judged by whether, absent the Olympics, he'll move seriously on his Boston 2030 initiative to articulate and implement a vision for the city's future. The jury is still out on how he brings this all together.

La Signoria di Hanau fu uno stato del Sacro Romano Impero esistente dal 1243 al 1451 per poi essere elevato a contea.

Storia
Il castello di Hanau viene citato per la prima volta nel 1143 in un documento di Dammo di Hegenow che vi viene chiamato come testimone. La struttura si trovava sull'Isola di Kinzig ed era circondato da un fossato naturale. All'epoca esso era di proprietà del vescovo di Magonza.

Dal 1166-1168 ad Hanau è documentata la presenza di una dinastia aristocratica che detiene effettivamente il controllo del castello, dapprima designata al governo della fortezza di Dorfleden e poi al 1191 al castello di Hanau. La famiglia poté rapidamente espandere i propri domini grazie a due lasciti importanti. Con la morte di Ulrico II di Hagen-Münzenberg nel 1255 si estinse la linea maschile della sua famiglia e la sua eredità passò alle sue figlie ed alle loro rispettive famiglie. Una di queste, Adelaide, era sposata con Reinardo I di Hanau. Altro lascito di rilievo fu quello derivato dal matrimonio di Ulrico I di Hanau con Elisabetta di Rieneck-Rothefels la quale portò in dote al marito nel 1277 altri territori nella medesima area.

La casata acquisì sempre maggiore importanza a tal punto che il re Alberto I di Germania, nominò Ulrico I di Hanau quale suo personale Ufficiale Giudiziario nell'area del Wetterau dall'anno 1300, seguito dal 1303 dal diritto di tenere mercato nella città di Hanau, fatto che incrementò moltissimo la presenza economica nella signoria.

Nel 1320, Ludovico il Bavaro amplierà i possedimenti della signoria con la concessione dell'infeudazione dei villaggi di Bergen, Bischofsheim, Bockenheim, Eckenheim, Enkheim, Eschersheim, Fechenheim, Ginnheim, Gronau, Massenheim, Praunheim, Preungesheim, Seckbach e Vilbel, a cui si aggiungeranno dal 1377 anche Brandenstein, Schwarzenfels, Bieber, Lohrhaupten e l'Abbazia di Schlüchtern.

Nel 1375 l'Imperatore impose il diritto di primogenitura per la casata, evitando così che il patrimonio venisse diviso tra i figli. Nel 1429 l'Imperatore Sigismondo di Lussemburgo da Bratislava ove si trovava inviò un dispaccio alla corte di Hanau nella quale elevava il territorio a contea come premio per i due secoli di fedeltà dimostrata alla causa imperiale.

Drivers on Forest Avenue in Fort Fairfield navigate snow drifts in the road around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
The combination of fresh powder and sustained winds Tuesday created some of the most challenging winter road conditions in Aroostook County's recent memory.
"It was like nothing that I've ever seen before in the years I've been doing this," Maine Department of Transportation Region 5 Manager Bob Watson said Wednesday of the weather that closed schools, businesses and roads.
Watson said the transportation officials will be spending the rest of the week cleaning up snow drifts, and urged drivers to be both vigilant and patient.
The cold temperatures and wind chills are expected to moderate Thursday into the weekend, with high temperatures in the 20s by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
While the white out conditions led to crashes, including a totaled Presque Isle police cruiser, and stranded drivers, none appeared to have left people with major injuries.
Aroostook County Sheriff Shawn Gillen said his office received more than 300 calls related to 20 crashes Tuesday.
"Three of those accidents were personal injury accidents that required ambulance transport. None of those were life-threatening though," Gillen said in an email. Only one crash involved a single vehicle, while the rest involved anywhere from two to nine vehicles, he said.
In Presque Isle, where 10 local roads were closed at various points Tuesday, a police officer's cruiser was struck from behind while the officer was attending to the scene of a crash. The cruiser was totaled while the officer "walked away with only minor injuries," according to the police department.
In Caribou, where city offices were closed Wednesday, officer Craig Peterson said that, between crashes and stranded motorists, Caribou police have handled roughly 25 incidents related to the weather.
He added that while the police have have previously handled this number of incidents in a single day, it's not exactly a common occurrence.
Police are recommending that the public avoid traveling if possible, and to be cautious if driving anywhere Wednesday.
For the Transportation Department's Region 5, which covers all of Aroostook County and portions of Penobscot, Piscatiquis and Washington counties, Tuesday's weather and this winter in general has stretched the winter budget and highlighted the need for more windbreaks, Watson said.
The agency's Region 5 has a crew of about 180 people for snow and ice control and a winter budget of about $10 million, Watson said.
"We're a little behind on our budget from what we'd like to be," he said, adding that the agency may postpone some spring duties until the new fiscal year in July.
Aroostook Republican & News writer Christopher Bouchard contributed to this report.


The workings of memory and learning have yet to be clarified, especially at the neural circuitry level. But researchers at Uppsala University have now, jointly with Brazilian collaborators, discovered a specific brain neuron with a central role in learning. This study, published in Neuron, may have a bearing on the potential for counteracting memory loss in Alzheimer's disease.
"We had expected to be able to impair learning, since it seemed likely that the effect of our experiment at the cellular level would disturb the normal function of the nervous system. However, we were surprised to find that learning and memory also could be improved," says Klas Kullander.

RTF: Congress must reject Interior official's call to kill wild horses
Wild horses photographed Jan. 17, 2017, at the Sulphur Herd Management Area in Utah. Photo by Steve Paige.

A senior Interior Department official, Aurelia Skipwith, deputy assistant secretary of Interior for fish, wildlife and parks, on Wednesday called for euthanasia and lifting sales restrictions for wild horses and burros, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Skipwith was speaking at an invitation-only meeting with speakers including Interior Secretary Zinke, Rep. Chris Stewart and others to which wild horse- and animal-welfare organizations were not invited.
Statement by Return to Freedom Wild Horse Conservation:
Deputy Assistant Secretary Skipwith in no way speaks for the 80% of Americans who in polls have consistently opposed horse slaughter and the similar percentage who want to see wild horses and burros protected. In 2007, the Bureau of Land Management stood within 1,071 wild horses and burros of its own population goal, yet failed to implement aggressively the use of safe, proven fertility control vaccine. Now, with the lives of tens of thousands of healthy, innocent wild horses and burros on the line, Skipwith and others are calling for the papering over of decades of federal mismanagement.
To be clear: Lifting sales restrictions will allow the Bureau of Land Management to allow kill buyers to ship thousands more wild horses to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. Calls for euthanasia will allow the BLM to use taxpayer dollars to kill healthy unadopted wild horses and burros, likely by shooting them.
The American people will never accept such inhumane proposals – not after investing millions of dollars into the protection of these living symbols of freedom.
Members of Congress should hear their constituents, loud and clear. Congress should not only reject these inhumane proposals but also dismiss the propaganda pushed by those who seek to profit from our shared public lands at the expense of wildlife, habitat and American taxpayers.
Those who wish to see wild horses gone from the West blame wild horses for damage to the range without mentioning the private livestock that outnumber them by some 37 to 1; they say fertility control has failed when BLM has never invested more than 4% of its annual budget in this safe, proven tool; they say that wild horses are starving across the West contrary to hundreds of thousands of photos of wild horses taken of them, season after season, including those being pursued by helicopters during BLM roundups.
Congress must not let BLM off the hook by turning a blind eye to a mass killing of wild horses by BLM or by letting the agency watch as wild horses are shipped out the back door in order to cover over the its mistakes. It's time for leaders in Congress to stand up and demand that BLM use readily available humane management tools and policies. They should immediately prioritize a proud wild horse and burro program that over time would save would save taxpayers money, elevate ecotourism, and preserve the sight of America's wild horses running free for generations to come.

Autumn Statement 2014: Osborne cuts stamp duty. Is this his answer to Labour's mansion tax?
Wait, Osborne wants the rich to pay more tax?
By Jonn Elledge
(Photo By Buy! Buy! Buy! Image: Getty.)
Great news, first time buyers! Chancellor George Osborne has announced plans to fix the housing crisis within five years!
Nah, just kidding, of course he hasn't done that. But there was something that looks suspiciously like good news in today's Autumn Statement all the same: a cut in Stamp Duty which, Osborne claims will benefit 98 per cent of all home buyers. The only people who won't benefit are the very, very rich.
In other words, this looks a lot like Osborne's answer to Labour's mansion tax.
Stamp Duty, for those who haven't had the pleasure, is a land tax you pay when you buy a house. Not any house, admittedly: it doesn't kick in until £125,000, so, historically, it only affected people who bought large and expensive houses.
What makes a good climate "nudge"?
The cost-of-living crisis will define 2022 – Labour needs answers now

How Omicron has devastated the UK's hospitality industry
But over the last few years, as prices as have gone up, more and more people have found themselves falling into that price bracket. In parts of the country (hi, London!) almost any property purchase will result in a bill for Stamp Duty.
And this bill, remember, is not paid by the people who are selling a house (and thus, presumably, have money to spare). It's paid by those who are buying it.
The tax has proved problematic in another way, too. It comes with "cliff edges", at which the rate suddenly increases. From £125,000 to £250,000, it's levied at 1 per cent: at £250,001, though, it goes up to 3 per cent. In other words, if the price of the house that you're buying goes up by £1, your tax liability triples, from £2,500 to £7,500.
Result: any home that's "worth" around £260,000 will almost certainly only find a buyer if it's sold at £250,000 or less. The tax distorts the market.
Today Osborne has announced that, from midnight tonight, he's changing all this. (He seems to have borrowed his plan from Scotland's finance minister John Swinney.) Under the reformed Stamp Duty regime, there'll no tax paid on the first £125,000; then 2 per cent on the portion up to £250,000. Unlike under the old regime, though, that first £125,000 is still untaxed, so the tax bill increases gradually as the price of the property does. There's no longer any cliff edge.
There'll be other gradual increases at points beyond that, too. You'll pay 5 per cent on the chunk from £250,000 up to £925,000; 10 per cent on the chunk up to £1.5m; and 12 per cent on everything beyond that. Here, courtesy of property consultants Savills, is a graph comparing systems old and new:
In other words, basically everyone buying a home at less than £1m has just had a tax cut. Everyone buying homes worth more than £1m has just had a tax increase.
This is much more progressive than the current system; it'll do less to distort the housing market, too. It's very difficult for Labour to counter because it looks like, well, a good policy. Already people are calling it a "tax on London", which is about the greatest accolade it could have.
What it won't do, however, is making housing any more affordable. If a buyer was previously able to pay both £260,000 for a house, and £7,800 for the associated stamp duty, they can still afford to pay roughly £267,800 for the lot.
There's still the same amount of money flowing into the market: all that'll change is the share of it that'll flow to the Treasury. Lower the tax that buyers pay – and the headline value of property might actually rise.

York Minster—The Great Organ—Newcastle-on-Tyne—The Labouring Classes—The American Slave—Sheffield—James Montgomery.
Letter 11.1
January, 1850.
Some days since, I left the Metropolis to fulfil a few engagements to visit provincial towns; and after a ride of nearly eight hours, we were in sight of the ancient city of York. It was night, the moon was in her zenith, and there seemed nothing between her and the earth but glittering gold. The moon, the stars, and the innumerable gas-lights, gave the city a panoramic appearance. Like a mountain starting out of a plain, there stood the Cathedral in all its glory, looking down upon the surrounding buildings, with all the appearance of a Gulliver standing over the Lilliputians. Night gave us no opportunity to view the Minster. However, we were up the next morning before the sun, and walking round the Cathedral with a degree of curiosity seldom excited within us. It is thought that a building of the same dimensions would take fifty years to complete it at the present time, even with all the improvements of the nineteenth century, and would cost no less than the enormous sum of two millions of pounds sterling. From what I had heard of this famous Cathedral, my expectations were raised to the highest point; but it surpassed all the idea that I had formed of it. On entering the building, we lost all thought of the external appearance by the matchless beauty of the interior. The echo produced by the tread of our feet upon the floor as we entered, resounding through the aisles, seemed to say "Put off your shoes, for the place whereon you tread is holy ground." We stood with hat in hand, and gazed with wonder and astonishment down the incomparable vista of more than five hundred feet. The organ, which stands near the centre of the building, is said to be one of the finest in the world. A wall, in front of which is a screen of the most gorgeous and florid architecture and executed in solid stone, separates the nave from the service choir. The beautiful workmanship of this makes it appear so perfect, as almost to produce the belief that it is tracery work of wood. We ascended the rough stone steps through a winding stair to the turrets, where we had such a view of the surrounding country, as can be obtained from no other place. On the top of the centre and highest turret, is a grotesque figure of a fiddler; rather a strange looking object, we thought, to occupy the most elevated pinnacle on the house of God. All dwellings in the neighbourhood appear like so many dwarfs couching at the feet of the Minster; while its own vastness and beauty impress the observer with feelings of awe and sublimity. As we stood upon the top of this stupendous mountain of ecclesiastical architecture, and surveyed the picturesque hills and valleys around, imagination recalled the tumult of the sanguinary battles fought in sight of the edifice. The rebellion of Octavius near three thousand years ago, his defeat and flight to the Scots, his return and triumph over the Romans, and being crowned king of all Britain; the assassination of Oswald king of the Northumbrians; the flaying alive of Osbert; the crowning of Richard III; the siege by William the Conqueror; the siege by Cromwell, and the pomp and splendour with which the different monarchs had been received in York, all appeared to be vividly before me. While we were thus calling to our aid our knowledge of history, a sweet peal from the lungs of the ponderous organ below cut short our stay among the turrets, and we descended to have our organ of tune gratified, as well as to finish the inspection of the interior.
I have heard the sublime melodies of Handel, Hayden, and Mozart, performed by the most skilful musicians; I have listened with delight and awe to the soul-moving compositions of those masters, as they have been chaunted in the most magnificent churches; but never did I hear such music, and played upon such an instrument, as that sent forth by the great organ in the Cathedral of York. The verger took much delight in showing us the Horn that was once mounted with gold, but is now garnished with brass. We viewed the monuments and tombs of the departed, and then spent an hour before the great north window. The designs on the painted glass, which tradition states was given to the church by five virgin sisters, is the finest thing of the kind in Great Britain. I felt a relief on once more coming into the open air and again beholding Nature's own sun-light. The splendid ruins of St. Mary's Abbey, with its eight beautiful light gothic windows, next attracted our attention. A visit to the Castle finished our stay in York; and as we were leaving the old city we almost imagined that we heard the chiming of the bells for the celebration of the first Christian Sabbath, with Prince Arthur as the presiding genius.
England stands pre-eminently the first government in the world for freedom of speech and of the press. Not even in our own beloved America, can the man who feels himself oppressed speak as he can in Great Britain. In some parts of England, however, the freedom of thought is tolerated to a greater extent than in others; and of the places favourable to reforms of all kinds, calculated to elevate and benefit mankind, Newcastle-on-Tyne doubtless takes the lead. Surrounded by innumerable coal mines, it furnishes employment for a large labouring population, many of whom take a deep interest in the passing events of the day, and, consequently, are a reading class. The public debater or speaker, no matter what may be his subject, who fails to get an audience in other towns, is sure of a gathering in the Music Hall, or Lecture Room in Newcastle. Here I first had an opportunity of coming in contact with a portion of the labouring people of Britain. I have addressed large and influential meetings in Newcastle and the neighbouring towns, and the more I see and learn of the condition of the working-classes of England the more I am satisfied of the utter fallacy of the statements often made that their condition approximates to that of the slaves of America. Whatever may be the disadvantages that the British peasant labours under, he is free; and if he is not satisfied with his employer he can make choice of another. He also has the right to educate his children; and he is the equal of the most wealthy person before an English Court of Justice. But how is it with the American Slave? He has no right to himself, no right to protect his wife, his child, or his own person. He is nothing more than a living tool. Beyond his field or workshop he knows nothing. There is no amount of ignorance he is not capable of. He has not the least idea of the face of this earth, nor of the history or constitution of the country in which he dwells. To him the literature, science, and art—the progressive history, and the accumulated discoveries of bygone ages, are as if they had never been. The past is to him as yesterday, and the future scarcely more than to-morrow. Ancestral monuments, he has none; written documents fraught with cogitations of other times, he has none; and any instrumentality calculated to awaken and expound the intellectual activity and comprehension of a present or approaching generation, he has none. His condition is that of the leopard of his own native Africa. It lives, it propagates its kind; but never does it indicate a movement towards that all but angelic intelligence of man. The slave eats, drinks, and sleeps—all for the benefit of the man who claims his body as his property. Before the tribunals of his country he has no voice. He has no higher appeal than the mere will of his owner. He knows nothing of the inspired Apostles through their writings. He has no Sabbath, no Church, no Bible, no means of grace,—and yet we are told that he is as well off as the labouring classes of England. It is not enough that the people of my country should point to their Declaration of Independence which declares that "all men are created equal." It is not enough that they should laud to the skies a constitution containing boasting declarations in favour of freedom. It is not enough that they should extol the genius of Washington, the patriotism of Henry, or the enthusiasm of Otis. The time has come when nations are judged by the acts of the present instead of the past. And so it must be with America. In no place in the United Kingdom has the American Slave warmer friends than in Newcastle.
I am now in Sheffield, and have just returned from a visit to James Montgomery, the poet. In company with James Wall, Esq., I proceeded to The Mount, the residence of Mr. Montgomery; and our names being sent in, we were soon in the presence of the "Christian Poet." He held in his left hand the Eclectic Review for the month, and with the right gave me a hearty shake, and bade me "Welcome to old England." He was anything but like the portraits I had seen of him, and the man I had in my mind's eye. I had just been reading his "Pelican Island," and I eyed the poet with no little interest. He is under the middle size, his forehead high and well formed, the top of which was a little bald; his hair of a yellowish colour, his eyes rather small and deep set, the nose long and slightly aquiline, his mouth rather small, and not at all pretty. He was dressed in black, and a large white cravat entirely hid his neck and chin: his having been afflicted from childhood with salt-rhum, was doubtless the cause of his chin being so completely buried in the neckcloth. Upon the whole, he looked more like one of our American Methodist parsons, than any one I have seen in this country. He entered freely into conversation with us. He said he should be glad to attend my lecture that evening, but that he had long since quit going out at night. He mentioned having heard William Lloyd Garrison some years before, and with whom he was well pleased. He said it had long been a puzzle to him, how Americans could hold slaves and still retain their membership in the churches. When we rose to leave, the old man took my hand between his two, and with tears in his eyes said, "Go on your Christian mission, and may the Lord protect and prosper you. Your enslaved countrymen have my sympathy, and shall have my prayers." Thus ended our visit to the Bard of Sheffield. Long after I had quitted the presence of the poet, the following lines of his were ringing in my ears:--
"Wanderer, whither dost thou roam?
Weary wanderer, old and grey,
Wherefore has thou left thine home,
In the sunset of thy day.
Welcome wanderer as thou art,
All my blessings to partake;
Yet thrice welcome to my heart,
For thine injured people's sake.
Wanderer, whither would'st thou roam?
To what region far away?
Bend thy steps to find a home,
In the twilight of thy day.
Where a tyrant never trod,
Where a slave was never known--
But where Nature worships God
In the wilderness alone."
Mr. Montgomery seems to have thrown his entire soul into his meditations on the wrongs of Switzerland. The poem from which we have just quoted, is unquestionably one of his best productions, and contains more of the fire of enthusiasm than all his other works. We feel a reverence almost amounting to superstition, for the poet who deals with nature. And who is more capable of understanding the human heart than the poet? Who has better known the human feelings than Shakspere; better painted than Milton, the grandeur of Virtue; better sighed than Byron over the subtle weaknesses of Hope? Who ever had a sounder taste, a more exact intellect than Dante? or who has ever tuned his harp more in favour of Freedom, than our own Whittier.

About Revival FM
Revival FM began broadcasting full-time on 100.8 FM with an Ofcom Community radio licence on 3 September 2006 to Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Kirkintilloch and around central Scotland from Falkirk to parts of Glasgow. Revival FM is Scotland's first full-time Christian radio service.
The story of Revival FM goes back to 1995 when a group of Christians in the Kilsyth area of then Dunbartonshire and now North Lanarkshire in central Scotland, met to discuss the possibility of broadcasting Christian radio programmes under the UK Government's new Restricted Service Licensing (RSL) scheme. This permitted a low power local radio service to air on the FM waveband for a maximum period of 28 days. Two such licenses per year could be granted with a gap of at least four months between broadcasts. The group decided to form Revival Radio Limited, a not-for-profit company through which application to the authorities could be made.
The first transmission took place at Easter 1996 from a base near Kilsyth. The success of this broadcast convinced the directors to organise further broadcasts. From 1996 to 2005, a total of 14 RSL broadcasts were transmitted. Christians with radio experience, and those with none, caught the vision over the years and many are still helping Revival FM today.
Revival FM produces family friendly radio, with a positive message for the people who form our local community and our wider online internet listeners.
Revival FM brings listeners a broad range of positive contemporary music, news, information, interviews and discussion programmes as well as a broad range of specialist programming that meet the interests and needs of smaller groups in our community.
Most of the 100.8 Revival FM content is locally produced at the Revival FM studios in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire and has a positive message that promotes healthy lifestyle choices.
100.8 Revival FM aims to entertain, inform, refresh, challenge and offer help for today's world.
The 100.8 FM reception area map includes in-car FM listening covering the M80 route from Cumbernauld to Glasgow city centre; the M74 from Glasgow to join the M73 to the M80; the M8 from south Glasgow through Glasgow city to the M73. North of Cumbernauld, in-car reception on 100.8 FM is good on the M876 to the Falkirk area.
Please also see the core indoor reception coverage area map below.
Do remember, outwith these areas, you can tune-in to Revival FM online from this website and also use the Tune-in app anywhere in the UK.
What makes 100.8 Revival FM different?
Revival FM is a not-for-profit charity registered with the Scottish charity regulator OSCR – Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator – OSCR Number SC024130. Revival was registered as a charity from 4 October 1995. The majority of the Revival FM presenters and helpers are volunteers.
Revival FM actively encourage individuals and community groups to take a positive role in the radio station as part of our commitment to serve our community.
We provide a community service through radio programmes, presentation and production. We also participate in community events with organisations and churches.
100.8 Revival FM broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. During the day from 7.00am to 12 midnight, Monday to Saturday, Revival FM broadcast predominantly music based programming with some comment. On Sunday we move to mainly spoken programming that is aimed more at the Church audience.
Revival FM vision
The Revival FM vision is to be at the centre of our community generating positive change, affirming positive life choices and promoting hope for the future through relevant radio programmes and great music.
Revival FM music
Just as our community is diverse, so our playlist reflects this. Revival FM is creating a main playlist which continues to evolve and provides you with a great soundtrack for your life. We avoid playing lyrics that promote negative life choices and detrimental opinions of others so you can listen with confidence.
Revival FM community
The radio station studio and admin offices are located in Cumbernauld, 15 miles north of Glasgow in central Scotland. The Revival FM signal on 100.8 MHz FM serves the community that surrounds us and has the potential to reach an audience of 125,000 people. We also have a strong following via the internet online platforms with listeners streaming in over 70 countries around the world listening at all times of the day and night.
Revival FM Statement of Faith
Revival FM does not subscribe to any particular church denomination or particular doctrinal position. However, it has adopted the Basis of Faith of the Evangelical Alliance which can be viewed here on this website or visit: http://www.eauk.org/about/basis-of-faith.cfm
Revival FM reception 100.8 FM indoor coverage area
This map illustrates coverage of Revival FM on 100.8 MHz FM within the core indoor reception area. The darker red area has a signal strength of 60 dB and therefore should provide reception on most portable radios and also using hi-fi systems with a good aerial. The red area will also provide good and usable reception. The light pink area is mostly for in-car use and also indoor use with a good quality portable or hi-fi tuner with an outside aerial.

Mani and Neda soon realize about their real life style and make an appointment to meet each other one year later in a better financial condition. Mani tries different ways to become a wealthy man. He goes to a soccer club one day, and the other day tries to become a singer, but he fails in all of them. Neda refers to different film institutions to become an actress but she fails too. Eventually, Mani becomes a drug dealer and Neda becomes a fortune teller. One time Mani is selling drug to a young man in a park when he realizes that he has seen this man with Neda some time ago. He sells him starch instead of drug and they go into a struggle but he soon finds out that he is Neda's brother Kasra. Mani goes to the police and tells them about the drug distribution network. Police makes an attack and arrest them all. Neda is also arrested while trying to deliver drugs to her brother, but Tina provides a bail and releases her. Tina meets Mani's brother Kami and they plan to get married. Mani who has a nice voice happens to meet a young composer and tries to be a singer. Like Neda, Mani also has lost his hope making his future. Tina and Kami invite Neda and Mani to a restaurant and ask them to avoid leaving their jobs, and then tell them about their contracts. Mani is going to release an album while Neda is going to become an actress.

In the near past there were big changes in the ownership and partly in the usage relations of HNP area. The Directorate extended its territories being in the ownership of Hungarian State but handled by the Directorate. It was done partly on the basis of a decree of Constitutional Court of Justice that was taken for the sake of the restoration of the conservation level of conserved areas.

Derek Sheils will compete in the Classic TT Superbike race for the Greenall Kawasaki team.
Derek Sheils is set to make his racing return at the Classic TT.
The Dublin rider has not been in action since the Skerries 100 at the beginning of July, when William Dunlop was killed in a crash during practice.
In the wake of the tragedy, Sheils – who rides for the Burrows Engineering Racing team – decided to sit out the Irish National meetings at Walderstown, Faugheen and Armoy. He also skipped last weekend's Ulster Grand Prix, but Sheils is set to compete in the RST Superbike race at the Classic TT for the Greenhall Kawasaki team.
He will carry the number 14 plate, while team-mate Horst Saiger will have the honour of leading the field away from Glencrutchery Road at number 1.
Dean Harrison will start as the red-hot favourite to repeat his victory in the feature race last year.
Harrison lapped at over 127mph last August on the Silicone Engineering Kawasaki and returns to the Isle of Man in terrific form.
The 29-year-old clinched his second TT victory in June when he won the second Supersport race.
Harrison was also leading the Superbike TT until he was ruled out with a clutch issue and narrowly missed out on victory in the blue riband Senior, when he was overhauled on the final lap by Peter Hickman.
The Bradford man, who sets off at number 2, clocked a lap of 127.212mph on the ZXR750 on his way to victory in the 2017 Classic Superbike race, although it was Bruce Anstey who established a new lap record of 127.496mph as he finished in second place.
Sadly, the 'Flying Kiwi' is ruled out after missing the season through illness.
Magherafelt man Paul Jordan will compete for the Mistral Kawasaki team as a late replacement for Derek McGee, who was injured in a crash during practice at the Ulster Grand Prix.
Jordan, who impressed at Dundrod on Dafabet Devitt Racing Kawasaki – lapping at 131mph and finishing fourth in the Superbike race – joins Davey Todd on the ZXR750 machines as the duo make their debuts at the event.
Todd was left battered and bruised after a crash in the Superbike race at the Ulster GP on the Burrows Racing Suzuki, but the 22-year-old hopes to race at the Classic meeting.
Phil Crowe lines up for Team Classic Suzuki on an 1100cc XR69, similar to the machine ridden to victory by Michael Dunlop in 2015 and 2016.
Michael Rutter sets off at number four on the same Team Winfield Yamaha that he took to second place in 2016, ten seconds ahead of James Hillier, who will again ride the Oxford Products/Louigi Moto Ducati.
The Team York Suzuki pairing of Gary Johnson (7) and David Johnson (8) will also be targeting the rostrum, while Manx rider Conor Cummins is in a rich vein of form and cannot be ruled out as he lines up on the Padgett's Motorcycles Yamaha.
Jamie Coward (9) is another potential podium finisher on the Kraus Racing Kawasaki while Josh Brookes (11) is hoping for better fortunes this year on the Wiz Norton Racing after being forced to retire in 2017.
Sam West (15) makes his Classic TT debut on a 750cc Suzuki and he will be followed by Danny Webb (16), who switches to a 500cc RG500 Team Classic Suzuki having ridden the 1100cc machine to sixth place last year.
The RST Classic Superbike race will be held on Monday, August 27. Practice gets underway on Saturday.


Our goal with Persona 4 was to create a title for young adults in a modern day school setting, but with appeal for a wide audience. For players who became fans of the series with the previous game, Persona 3, we retained gameplay basics that had proved successful, while adding an element of suspense. We hoped that a murder mystery plot in which a group of high school students pursued the culprit would connect with the players.
Many of the core members of the Persona 4 project were from the internal development team led by the director, Katsura Hashino. Their previous titles included Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, the Digital Devil Saga series, and Persona 3. The art director, Shigenori Soejima, joined the team during Persona 3. However, the rest of the staff, including composer Shoji Meguro, had been working together for about ten years.
Except for the animation, the game was done entirely in-house by the team. Our primary asset creation tools included 3ds Max 8, Adobe Photoshop, PaintTool SAI, and Adobe After Effects 6.5J, while design and effects were handled with our own internal tools.
1. Critical acclaim: Persona 4 received high praise from both the media and the consumers. Our primary consideration when deciding what to change and what aspects of development to examine was the commitment to making this game better than the last. The players were generally satisfied with the game, and we feel confident as we move on to our next project.
2. Budget: The development cost was set at about the same level as that of Persona 3. To satisfy the consumers, we spent the majority of our resources on increasing the volume of features that the players liked, improving the game systems, and working on the story and characters (the two key components of an RPG). In the end, we were able to keep the number of omitted features to a minimum, while incorporating many changes and additions to reflect the opinions gathered toward the end of development.
3. Player feedback: We were able to carefully select many of the new features by internally evaluating the previous title and examining player feedback. By doing so, we could concentrate on making adjustments to the areas that were most crucial to the game's quality.
4. Team stability: We didn't make many changes to the roles of the development team members who continued on from the previous title. This gave each person a clear understanding of what issues needed to be addressed, allowing us to operate smoothly during development. It also allowed the various staff members to communicate effectively with the director.
5. New hires: Some of the new staff members who joined the Persona 4 development team were fans of Persona 3. They did a great job gathering feedback on the previous title and evaluating the content of the new game.
1. Storytelling challenges: It took a tremendous amount of time and effort to finish the intense, suspenseful story with as many twists as it has, as well as integrating the game's theme of "how one accepts information from the media." While it was fun creating the mystery novel-like scenario, we had no previous experience in working on such a plot, so we were making adjustments to the storyline until the very end.
Also, one of the villain characters changed in the middle of development; since the character design was done before the story change, the design did not reflect the fact that he was a villain.
2. Real-time weather design: Unlike in the previous title, Persona 4's time limit for each dungeon was affected by the in-game weather. We did this with the belief that such a system would create the feeling of urgency, since the player didn't know when damage-causing fog would appear.
However, when we implemented it in the game, players were inclined to make dungeon investigation their first priority. Their mentality was, "If I don�t know when the fog appears, I should finish the dungeon as soon as possible." As a result, dungeon crawling and working on the inter-character Social Links, which are equally important, became completely separate and imbalanced.
We tried to compensate by adjusting the weather, in-game messages and story progression, but that created an unexpected workload. A huge amount of data could not be finalized until the weather was set, but the weather kept changing due to our design adjustments.
3. Urban misconceptions: When we decided that the story took place in a rural town, we found out that each staff member had their own image of a rural town that was completely different from the others�. So we immediately held a meeting to discuss what the most typical rural town was like, and the entire team went out to various places for location hunting. This was the first time the development team conducted such a large-scale location hunt.
4. The QA time sink: We end up having this issue every development cycle, but doing QA for an RPG takes a significant amount of time. For example, it takes more than a month for the director to go through the entire game once, checking the content and giving feedback to the team.
We kept playing the game over and over again, as many times as possible, until the game went gold. The more time we spent on debugging, the harder it became for us to put ourselves in the mindset of how gamers would feel when playing the game for the first time. In the end, we all wish for our next project to be an action game.
5. Horizontal feedback process: About two months before finalizing the code, we had the entire team post comments and criticisms about the game on our internal development website. For Persona 4, the new staff members (most of whom were Persona 3 fans) made the biggest contributions to this process, and we ended up with close to 2,000 posts -- anything from fundamental problems to personal tastes.
We addressed more than 1,500 of those concerns in some way or another, but the staff kept making comments like "This should be changed like this," or "This part is no good." The design director who decided how to fix the issues and the staff members who implemented the fixes were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, begging, "Please... No more..."
Nevertheless, the game's quality increased and the consumer satisfaction was high, partially as a result of that internal feedback process, so we're glad that we did it -- but the thought of having to do it again for another project gives us chills.

If you're still in the mindset that Lexus only makes large, ultra-comfortable grand-touring sedans, prepare to get educated.
Ben Collins, former "The Stig" from Top Gear, thrashes the legendary Lexus LFA around Goodwood Circuit, complete with incredibly long, smokey drifts and plenty of high-revving exhaust sounds from the 4.8-liter V10 engine.
The LFA is designed to go fast in the most efficient way, so for Collins to get the car sideways, it actually takes quite a bit of manhandling, as you'll see from the large amounts of driver corrections.
Taking a 180-degree turn from his previous mute character in a white driving suit, Collins goes on to review the more affordable RC F Carbon, and even takes his commuter car, a GS F, onto the track for a good ol' thrashing.
Watch the video to see what Collins thinks about each of Lexus's F-model sports cars.

Lorenzos "new"tank is clearly taken from his Ducati last where indentation clearly makes him hook his leg around the tank better and make the initial turn in faster just as the Ducati's.
Agree. He has tons of potential.
Thanks you for posting this, video quality is top notch. Keep up the good work…Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!
Rooting for Bagnaia ! He's gonna be a force to be reckon with.
Rins reminds me of Prost – different nationalities. D'oh!
Motogp should mix this racers with some veteran rider ., imagine Gay Martin ., Mat Madladin ., Scotch Russol., somen of the rider from isle Man ., and somethingof that nature just to bring some more interest into it .,, just saying ..

Q: Can't play m4a files with Banshee I've installed the gstreamer set of codecs, logged out, reboot, but Banshee still doesn't play my m4a files.  Specifically, i installed
Gstreamer extra plugins
Gstreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack
Gstreamer plugins for aac, xvid, mpeg2, faad
Am i missing something else? a step or package?

*

*gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed

*The movie plays fine in totem

It plays just fine on Totem! could it be because of the album artwork (which is showing as a "movie" and not being recognized by banshee?

A: Try to remove or rename the local configuration in your home directory. See the bug report. The workaround works for me.
rm -r ~/.gstreamer-0.10

A: Have you tried gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly? After installing that and restarting Banshee, you might be able to play your files.

OSI Named U.S. Distributor for Cool-Ads Handles
KEYWORDS design-build
One Source Specialties, a division of One Source Industries, LLC, has been named the U.S. distributor for Cool-Ads handles, a division of Wild August LLC. Cool-Ads is a point-of-purchase advertising format that fits onto cooler doors for chilled products in big-box stores, convenience stores and food retailers.
"Cool-Ads is a revolutionary marketing tool that does the obvious. It positions the ads so that they are the last thing customers see before making a purchasing decision. In addition to being an effective way for leading food and beverage companies to attract consumers and influence purchasing decisions, Cool-Ads handles are also inexpensive and easy to install," says Larry English, president of Wild August, the Irvine, Calif.-based developer and manufacturer of Cool-Ads.
The Cool-Ads handles fit any size cooler door handle, while the Cool-Ads end-cap system makes installation as simple as tightening two bolts onto the cooler door handle. Printed advertising inserts slide into the Cool-Ads frame, making it easy for merchandisers to change features and promotions.
"We believe this type of point-of-purchase advertising has the potential to improve sales as consumers see and touch the ads before making their selection from the cooler. A leading American brewing company and a large global beverage company are already Cool-Ads clients, and we look forward to further expanding Cool-Ads to other leading brands," says Joe Baksha, president and CEO of OSS, also based in Irvine, Calif.

Q: Axios cancel token cancelling request before even called So I am implementing axios call cancelation in the project. Right now looking at axios documentation it seems pretty straight forward https://github.com/axios/axios#cancellation
So I did define variables on the top of my Vue component like
const CancelToken = axios.CancelToken;
const source = CancelToken.source();

obviously on top of that is import axios from 'axios';
Then I have a method of fetching the API
On the top of the method I want to cancel out the request in case it is running so the last one cancels out if the user spams the filtering.
async fetchPartners(inputToClear) {
            source.cancel();
            ...

            try {
                const response = await axios.get(`../partners?limit=1000${this.createRequestString()}`, {
                    cancelToken: source.token
                });
                // Here you can see I did add the cancelToken to the request

                this.partners = response.data.data;
            } catch (error) {
                if (axios.isCancel(error)) {
                    console.log('Request canceled', error.message);
                }
                const fetchErrors = this.utilGlobalHandleErrorMessages(error);

                this.utilGlobalDisplayMessage(fetchErrors.message, { type: 'error' });

                return [];
            } finally {
                ...
            }
        },

So it is pretty straight forward, just took the code from axios documentation I gave you above, it should be working by logic. But what is actually happening, it doesn't even allow me to fetch the call, it is already cancelled out before I can call it. On console it shows me
Request canceled undefined

It just catches the error as if I am cancelling the call, but how can it be, because I am source.cancel() before the call.
Anyone has any idea?

A: I hope you should throttle your requests instead of canceling the request.
Could you please try the following if throttle does not suit your requirement?
const CancelToken = axios.CancelToken;
let source;

async fetchPartners(inputToClear) {
    if(source){
      source.cancel();
    }
    ...
    source = CancelToken.source();

    try {
      const response = await axios.get(`../partners?limit=1000${this.createRequestString()}`, {
       cancelToken: source.token
      });
      // Here you can see I did add the cancelToken to the request

      this.partners = response.data.data;
    } catch (error) {
      if (axios.isCancel(error)) {
        console.log('Request canceled', error.message);
      }
      const fetchErrors = this.utilGlobalHandleErrorMessages(error);

      this.utilGlobalDisplayMessage(fetchErrors.message, {
        type: 'error'
      });

      return [];
    } finally {
      ...
    }
  }
