Sometimes Apple is its Own Worst Enemy. This is One of Those Times [Update: Apple Caves On One Front]
I'm pretty firmly on Apple's side when it comes to Epic's current lawsuit against them. However, I've also been pretty clear that I believe that they are going to have to change some of the App Store's policies to restore balance to the iOS ecosystem and good faith with developers. Unfortunately, if anything, Apple seems to be doubling down on harsh enforcement of both the rules and protection of their ecosystem and its branding since Tim Cook appeared before the House Antitrust Subcommittee.
Recently, Apple decided to file opposition to a trademark request from a small recipe planning company called Prepear. Why? It looks like for no other reason than the fact that another company dared to use a fruit logo with a leaf pointing to the right. Take a look at the logos compared above. Is there any chance that anyone could confuse the two? Do you think they are trying to piggyback off of Apple's branding in any way, shape or form? I don't see how any reasonable person could answer yes to either question.
I've heard some mention that you have to defend your trademark against any remote possibility of infringement to be able to have a leg to stand on if another company actually does infringe. However, I just can't buy that as an excuse for Apple taking the fight to company with a staff of 5 people. They aren't even a tech company. Apple couldn't look more petty if they tried in this course of action, and I'm certainly not the only one who thinks so.
Prepear has taken their case public, gathering over 220,000 signatures in support of their situation at Change.org. I guess they did this in hopes that, with all of the negative press surrounding Apple at the moment, the company would back off when faced with more over what seems to be a trivial issue. Apple's response? They've doubled down by opposing Prepear's trademark application in Canada, as well. Come on, Apple. Really?
An Automatic response
Just yesterday, Apple was in the news yet again. While the release of correspondence from Epic's Tim Sweeney asking for the special deal that he originally claimed he didn't seemed to turn a lot of public sentiment against Epic in that suit, Apple still managed to make a mess somewhere else. Late yesterday afternoon, this Tweet from Matt Mullenweg, developer of the free and open source web software WordPress caused quite the stir.
Heads up on why @WordPressiOS updates have been absent… we were locked by App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to support in-app purchases for .com plans. I know why this is problematic, open to suggestions. Allow others IAP? New name?
— Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) August 21, 2020
So an app that doesn't sell anything has to start offering in-app purchases to be able to submit new updates? This looked incredibly shady at first, but a later tweet shed a little more light on the situation.
When I open the Help Center from the app, I can get guidance about upgrading to one of your paid plans. If I tap on "Plans" as seen the screenshot, the app opens Safari and shows the plans. This is a violation according to App Store Review Guidelines. pic.twitter.com/peTcdn5DZo
— Mysk (@mysk_co) August 21, 2020
It seems that these mentions of paid services elsewhere are the reason for Apple taking aim at the WordPress app. Even though they have obviously missed the presence of this content, possibly even for years, now they are saying that the app has run afoul of the rules. While I and many others personally take issue with how arbitrary the rules blocking any mention of paid services outside of the App Store the App Store that aren't available via in-app purchase, this is the rule, currently. Apple does have the right under their Terms of Service to object.
Where I take issue is with the fact that Apple is insisting that Automatic add in-app purchases for domains to the WordPress app, rather than allowing the alternative. That would be Automatic removing all mention of said services from the Help sections of the app. This has been done by MANY other developers in other market segments. Why would Apple not allow Automatic what seems to be a perfectly valid path forward?
This seems like an ideal first case for the new review process that Apple announced at WWDC. I would love to see Matt Mullenweg and Automatic put Apple on the spot here and demand an answer on why they can't use the same solution that others have been able to. Why do they suddenly have to sell a service that doesn't directly relate to the WordPress app's functionality. All of this is exactly why I think, whether by their choice or government force, Apple is going to have an appeal process that ultimately can lead to binding independent arbitration. That is the only way to insure accountability in these kinds of situations.
I have to applaud Matt Mullenweg in his handling of this situation. Where Tim Sweeney and Epic have gone the court of public opinion route (including tying to piggyback on this situation today), Mullenweg has taken a much different path.
I am a big believer in the sanctity of licenses. (Open source relies on licenses and copyright.) We agreed to this license when we signed up for (and stayed in) the app store, so going to follow and abide by the rules. Not looking to skirt it, hence doing what they asked us to.
I can't support the self-aggrandizing Tim Sweeney and the way he is trying to capitalize on a moment for his and his company's own gain. I can wholeheartedly absolutely support a developer who is doing everything he can to play by the rules and handles things in a way that is completely above board. Apple is in the wrong here, if not by the letter of the law, then definitely by the spirit of it. If Mr Mullenweg feels he can't fight this battle directly with Apple, then in this case, Apple fans and the tech community need to step up and do it for him and Automatic.
Update: It seems that Apple wised up on this one a little while after I wrote this article, possibly due to all of the mounting pressure on them on different fronts. Automatic submitted an updates with all references and links to paid services removed and Apple accepted it.
Apple released a statement saying the following:
"We believe the issue with the WordPress app has been resolved. Since the developer removed the display of their service payment options from the app, it is now a free, stand-alone app and does not have to offer in-app purchases. We have informed the developer and apologize for any confusion that we have caused."
Their own worst enemy
Apple may be right to fight back against Epic. They should be able to run a closed ecosystem if they choose to and they have the right to make some money from their App Store. And any company should be able to stand up to legitimate trademark infringement.
All that said, Apple isn't fighting against a company taking advantage of their IP. They are picking on a small business that helps people prepare healthy recipes. They can't just choose a new logo since Apple has it in for any piece of fruit. They would have to change the name and all marketing surrounding the company. There just isn't any valid defense for what Apple is doing here.
There really isn't a good explanation why Apple won't let Automatic simply remove references to unrelated services from their app, either. This wasn't some company trying to skit the rules. The WordPress app had links to web-based help articles where you could find this information. Again, this wasn't Automatic tying to have their cake and eat it too. The references to paid services available on their website are there for people using their WordPress.com website.
In both of these cases, Apple would be best served by just backing the hell off. There is nothing positive to be gained beyond a very small amount of extra money from in-app purchases on WordPress. On the flip side, there's a ton a negative press to be had and additional ire to be whipped up between US and European regulators. And it's deserved this time. Apple is overshadowing their legitimate arguments with bad corporate behavior. At times, Apple is its own worst enemy and this definitely looks like one of those periods.
Tim Cook, this is your show. Get this under control, or governments are going to do it for you.

jbelkin says:
US trademarks laws are that if you do not vigorously defend your trademark, t's a slippery slope to losing it as some other company can cite the pear logo as one Apple didn't sue … that's the way the laws are … so while Apple looks like a bully, that's not the way the courts and trademark laws work.
James Rogers says:
I think if they sat this one specific instance out, they could legally justify doing so.

The Present and Future Promise of Synthetic Biology
Dates: February 6, 2020 - February 6, 2020
Thursday, February 6, 2020 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters, Room 110
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) invites you to attend the inaugural event in our Synthetic Biology: The Ongoing Technology Revolution Series. This initial event will introduce the science of synthetic biology, as well as the opportunities and risks it presents to both national security and the global economy. This event will serve as the first of four events, which will convene a diverse set of experts to discuss the security and economic policy implications of this critical emerging technology.
Synthetic Biology: The Ongoing Technology Revolution Series
Emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, 5G, and synthetic biology—drive security and economic competition and are increasingly shaping national strategies. To develop an effective strategy for synthetic biology, policy makers and the general public need a better understanding of synthetic biology's underlying capabilities, state of development, and diverse applications. Through a series of four symposia, CSIS will explore synthetic biology's wide-ranging applications—from advanced microelectronics and materials to nutrition and cosmetics —and opportunities to shape its future development in support of U.S. security and economic interests. This series will include targeted discussions on synthetic biology's:
Present and future potential as a critical emerging technology;
Economic, societal, and international implications;
National security opportunities and risks; and
Implications for emerging technology policy.
CSIS hopes you will join us for our inaugural event on February 6th and will continue the discussion in the events that follow.

_According to legend, Tristan Tzara randomly stabbed his penknife into a French-German dictionary to find the ideal name, striking Dada, meaning hobby horse in French. In German, Dada additionally connotes a foolish naïveté._

For unknown amounts you hired

de Kooning's for sixty-three.

The originals? _Police Gazette_ was burned.

Acrid smoke brought tears to your wallet.

# INTERNAL AFFAIRS

In New Delhi my wife was fleeced:

given directions to people relieving her of

American dollars (the universal currency

# UNWED MOTHERS HATE FRACKING, NOW

The way you live your life

# STANDARD

Two parakeets, or winged little men,

fought over a mirror. A mirror's skirt

rises over its thigh. Stand up to Mother

for your widow's sake. Could shoplift

love, but not you, a decent woman

of Hungarian descent. Chirped,

_women are weird, temperamental_ ,

at my reflection. Birthed robots,

whose metal glint placated

us till first oil jobs. I wanted

back my youth. Hold me, I'm silver.

The birds speak. I cry.

It was a typical marriage;

what can you say?

# FUTURE ART PROJECTS

1) 1 + 1 + 1

A hand-knit _scarf_

one metre wide by two stories long

hangs from a loft ceiling.

On one side of the knit

a tape measure (with faded-out numbers)

climbs the wall.

On the other side pencil marks

are made at arbitrary points

in the knit's development.

There are abrupt changes in wool;

could it go on, the same way, forever?

A miniscule flaw threatens

to unravel everything.

Variant:

The scarf's awkward adolescence

is documented on Polaroid: camping

in pup tents; playing catch; blowing out

candles.

2) _Sink, Sunk_

In a photo: painstakingly realistic

models of an offshore drilling platform

and oil tanker built within a kitchen sink.

Also in frame: an empty beer bottle

and a container of dish soap

(which is turned over, spilling).

Suds threaten to eclipse

platform and tanker.

Dirty dishes — yours — lie in the background.

3) _Three Nudes_

A macro shot

of an undisclosed swath of skin;

the Hubble Telescope

peering down, presumably

while I shower;

at the in-laws' and

one glass of wine too many.

# FOREIGN EXCHANGE

"The investigation produced little, but charcoal

drawings of a missing son with mismatched features:

the face of history, the face of a crowd."

Two banks: the bank of the South with little

money to lend but with mugs of complimentary

coffee; the bank of the North, doling coffee

in espresso cups yet sloshing buckets of money.

A customer of the North, after throwing cash

into his sink, took the bucket south, convincing

a bank manager there to refill it with coffee.

The South's manager pulled a towel from his head,

twisting its sweat into a pot, saying, "We've no qualms

slinging our black gold... but an entire bucket?

Deposit some dollars in my pocket as a sign of good faith."

The Bucket-Man anticipated this, purposefully leaving

his money at home, knowing paper bills were worthless

especially as _articles of faith_. "Sir," the Bucket-Man

said, "you're right to speak of devotion.

My son is missing. I hold hope we'll be reunited

beyond the missing-person's flyer — the paper son

is no replacement."

"I see. Paper money, with pictures of people past,

is useless to me also. But what if you paid in coins?

Quarters, placed in pockets, add weight to days,

making life real. And the lovely jingle they..."

The Bucket-Man sprinted from the bank, propelled by an idea.

At the bank of the North he asked for a thousand rolls

of quarters. Taking them home, a bucketful at a time,

the man poured this change into his son's empty bed.

He read the quarters bedtime stories and tucked

them in at night. For weeks this placated him,

but the father grew worried his coin-son was not eating

(heaps of pancakes lay untouched on his nightstand)

and was not growing as a young son should.

The father wondered: _Had drinking the South's coffee_

_vicariously stunted his son's growth_?

A doctor, called to the bedside, extracted handfuls

of coins, placing them in his pocket. "Do you mean

to run tests on that sample?" "Sure," the doctor replied.

Nothing was revealed.

At the bank of the North the father moaned to the teller,

"You gave me a son, but he's grown ill... or does not grow."

The teller wrinkled her brow. "Perhaps if you

brought him to us, depositing him in the soft bed

of our vault, we could offer you interest,

by which your son could grow?" The father burst

into tears, kissing the teller on the lips. After running home

and transporting his son, again a bucket at a time,

into the bank's vault, he collapsed on the floor.

The bank manager reassured him, "Go home. Rest.

All will be fine in a month's time."

Sleepless nights ensued. The man walked

through life: rich, caffeinated, anxious. He drank

the South's coffee. He drank the South's coffee

all the while resenting it. "Don't take my son

from me, you dark bastard," he murmured into his cup.

After a month passed the father returned

to the bank of the North to see how things progressed.

His son had grown,

by a few pennies.

"I don't recognize you anymore,"

cried the father, "your new skin's grown dim, coppery,

like the people of the South."

content's nothing,

editing's everything.

The phonebook's

a great drama

when cut right.

Poor Mrs. Kilbourn

didn't see it coming.

# LAUGH TRACK

Everything not natural

is manmade. Put another way:

what is built is necessarily

unnatural. We made watches,

which is to say wastebaskets,

and shows celebrating zombies,

known as sitcoms. Waste-

baskets: made by hand, or by

machines made by hands, or by

machines made by machines

(our fingerprints grown indistinct).

Indistinct, we made zombies

or became them. We only had time

to waste. Naturally, we made

the living dead.

# END OF THE WORLD CATERING COMPANY

Every day I write on a triplicate pad.

One copy is filed in the cabinet.

Another is put into an envelope labelled,

Attn: Poetry Editor, _The New Yorker_.

The third paper is folded into an airplane

and sailed from my attic window to

the masses below. They'd prefer flesh.

With each paper cut I dab blood onto

the last copy, caving to their hunger.

# YOU PREFER AL PURDY

Scan your poems

for a piece of me —

an acknowledgement,

a plagiarism —

and, finding none,

acknowledge your lack

of taste.

I prefer mushrooms

to carrion.

# SEGUES: IN SEARCH OF AN EXPANSIVE,

# FINELY TUNED CONCEPTION OF VOCATION

(I)

A hummingbird

is a bird able to hover

but the Peruvian ridged hummingbird

has to maintain forward momentum

and the Arctic plover (not a hummingbird)

can suspend itself in mid-air.

(II)

I teach at an ESL summer camp

where one activity is go-karting.

At the racetrack I stand the gaggle

of foreign teenagers beside the Rules Board

(that they can't read)

and give a safety talk

(they can't understand).

I then point to the track

where carnage will ensue and say,

_Let's make some poetry out there_.

# THE WGaS TEST

Confronted by a book of poems

it's standard procedure to select

a page at random, read a few lines,

then perform the WGaS.

If negative, which is to say no shits

will be given whatsoever, the book

is dropped. If potential shit exists,

further samples are read.

The modern poet has found instant

ways to stack the WGaS in his favour,

not through better poetry

but by ingratiating himself to others

via wall posts, pins, likes, tweets...

making shit obligatory.

A community of stained hands;

forced smiles.

# AT LEAST IN PAMPLONA

The annual opening of the floodgates is a village tradition. At one time this irrigation culvert was a main artery, but when the economy collapsed it soon fell arid. The ceremony previously ushered great joy: farmers gathered to discuss crops; children ran freely about, toffee in hand. Some of the same children are here today, awaiting water under different circumstances.

Now the young men stand within the immense concrete ditch, their families pacing nervously above. Words are discarded, nothing escapes under breath. The first sound is the raising of an iron gate, followed by a splash. The surge barrels from the weir, approaching the men at breakneck speeds.

Eyes are clenched to restrain fear inside. Anatomy yields to the deluge in unimaginable positions. When the torrent is dammed, bodies are found broken, bloodied, unconscious, coughing water or worse. Family members lower themselves to these martyrs. One man is gently wrapped in black crinoline.

"This is insane; at least in Pamplona they try to avoid the bulls."

"True, but this isn't sport."

# PHOTO BOOTHS

youth hovers: a sheet

or at a younger farce

meeting toothy prints

hearse shove thy out

actuary era forgone

tighter empty notions

you have three shots

to arrange your face

into something pretty

# PHOTO BOOTHS

impose limitations:

fixed location

& time between shots;

same you,

in the same clothes,

with the same background.

Variations only

in juggling elements:

visual anagrams.

# REVAMP/

# WRITER'S MARKET GUIDE

for K.S.

Looking for a collaboration

with someone supremely talented

whose low sense of self worth

makes them lucky to work with me.

Camping on Faber and Faber's lawn

doesn't work.

Neither does inebriated midnight

phone calls to the editor.

I try to do all my drunk harassing

by noon.

# HIS GLASS DEW/

# ENGINEERED

Town windows tested by his hammer's

need. Lust can't fog shattered glass.

Were hot air full in evening. Morning's

light complements destruction.

750 ml designed so

others' shared excess

is your moderation.

# CYNIC VIEW/

# UNDERSTANDING CERAMICS

Low commerce: talking a million poor

into something they don't need.

High art: talking one rich

into something they do.

If he could say it with Slap Chops

he would say it with Slap Chops.

If he could say it in paint

he would say it in paint.

# ON A ROPE/

# GREAT MOMENTS IN PHYSICS #46

I don't know about stone tablets,

instead preferring question marks

engraved on bars of soap.

The question may disappear

but something's cleansed

with the asking.

The pressure exerted on a

shampoo bottle displaces

the liquid within, creating

a temporary vacuum that

sucks up the very shampoo

you just squeezed out.

# THIRD FACTORY: FREEDOM IN ART/

# SO MUCH WRITTEN, SO LITTLE READ

"What art requires is material."

We say anything, publish anything.

I've said nonsense — words failing

common decency — but believe in

said nonsense unconditionally.

Fabricate truth from trash.

The process: valuable. The product?

Stretch, examine, question, blow.

No value extends beyond creation.

Churning out disposable party-favours

won't justify the factory, unless you

focus on all the pretty balloons.

# MARK ROTHKO/

# BURT REYNOLDS

When they painted him over,

using a colour he'd been,

its freshness clashed

with his old, new grey.

Crowds of prunes

shower kisses on

a lacklustre plum.

# THE FLUORESCENT DISGUISE/

# SKIP TO DESSERT

Whatever stands out cries to be

further accentuated or erased.

The headwaiter at la Coupole

found my camo pants conspicuous.

_Merci_ , I replied, _un zèbre_

_est voyant dans un zoo_.

Freed from utility:

cakes our literature,

tabloids our lunch.
In the evenings we stroll

to the tavern. Hungry, lonely.

They keep lights dim

so we pass as glamorous.

They keep lights dim

so they pass as clean.

# THE CHEFS COOK IN THE DARK/

# LINE COOKS

Paired Russian-Who-Cares with

Nouveau-Can't-Remember.

Garnish our beloved

Michelin star.

Put you in every cuisine mag, but,

for God's sake, not in our mouths.

# ACCESSING BEAUTY/

# EQUIDISTANT

My fumbling came in dealing

with a decorative object

housing unknown content:

an ornate chest I couldn't open.

Perhaps I was indelicate,

breaking the box for want of a key?

How close are we to thinking machines?

As close as we've become to human beings.
FIVE

# WE, THAT RESPECT THE FOREIGNER (THE FUTURE)

respect dwelling in the subfloor

connecting, as a visitor, with past resemblances.

The sky lost all aspects of reality

that collaborate with _now_.

In accordance with small, appropriate prices

you can have anything, but only rent it until

tomorrow at six.

We were more yesterday. Without new connections

we radiated, towards power, around slander,

with no recognition of arrival.

We carry the cave, doubtful of: our Father's

house; the house of no profit; unshouldering

the load upon exit. Our only out a wet paper

pension delivering us to the wolves' personnel.

The third characteristic against modern life

is fields of web pages dismantling candle

improvements to remarry us to an increase

in novelty.

We go on the assumption of being regulated

to the bottom part of the nest, where each phase

of the power failure is managed by past wishes.

In another existence we are far away

and have arrived.

In love, inspired, happy: you fall into you.

Self respect's strange. Waive friendship

with the internal.

Remove. New workers appreciate ends,

ultimate elevator rides.

Rights and ideals are of the time,

for the moment, only when necessary.

The hairnet, which was ours from the moment

of conception, is seized by the future: unfair!

We wish there existed a possibility

of closing eyes before being fastened

to the truth that falls from any illustration.

Of these illustrations, one fell unseen,

undecided upon, from the end of the document

to repair the beginning, forever.

The seasons have changes in Kentucky, and with the cooler weather I've rotated my closet to my fall and winter clothes. Today I am excited to share a Fall & Winter Capsule Wardrobe. In a capsule wardrobe, items work well together so that a small number of items can create a large number of outfits.
This season, my capsule is just 15 items of clothing. Add in shoes and accessories for a total of 19 items. From theses items, I built over 80 different outfits.
Just like over the summer, I've decided this season to provide a free download of my full Fall & Winter Capsule Wardrobe guide if you sign up for my email list. I hope the guide helps you simplify your closet and experience all the benefits of a capsule wardrobe.
After using a capsule wardrobe for over a year now, I can't ever see going back. Dressing each day is quick and easy – just pick an outfit from the list of 80 and go! I've also found that keeping up with the laundry, packing for travel, and the a decrease overall cost of clothing for my family have all been side benefits of making the change to a capsule. I love to walk into my closet now! And, I continually hear compliments on my clothing.
I've included some sample outfits below to give you a taste of what is in my Fall & Winter Capsule.
Download the Fall & Winter Capsule Guide Here!
If these outfits appeal to you, subscribe to my email list and download the Full Fall and Winter Capsule today!
On a personal note, my family and I had a great summer. The boys have been back to school since August, and have already had Fall Break. We managed to squeeze in a trip to Orange Beach in between the hurricanes that hit that areas. My heart goes out to all those affected by the storms this fall.
The future of my blog is a bit uncertain at the moment. I really enjoy developing the capsule wardrobe ideas, so I'm leaning towards at least continuing to create and post them 3-4 times per year. I may post occasionally with mini-capsules too. Let me know if these are valuable to you – I'd love to hear from you!
Love that blue top and the ruffle shoulder one too!
Thanks Jessi – I agree!
Loved this capsule wardrobe that you have put together. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Sou'Wester July/August 2004
Summer is the time for touring and we include two reports of trips to 'foreign' countries. As this is written, Bike Week is imminent with many different activities on offer, some repeats and several new and the Mystery Word Hunt will take place on 11th July. On a less positive note, the 100/150 km Audax rides on 6th June did not happen due to a lack of support and the future of this event will be discussed at the next DA committee meeting.
Lynda, Helga and Norman in Scotland by Lynda Barrow
We travelled on Thameslink to Kings Cross. Things were going well on the GNER train to Edinburgh until just before Berwick-upon-Tweed when it was announced passengers would be transferred to coaches. How were we going to manage with our bikes? Two hours were added to the journey but we were able to cycle the four miles to our B&B where a delicious meal of fresh salmon and vegetables was served.
The next day was cloudy and we rode to the cycle paths around Leith Harbour then on to the Forth Bridge. I clocked the length of the bridge - 1.7 miles. This was quite amazing. Both Helga and I were very impressed. After a meal of spaghetti bolognese it was getting dark but we had to go onto the busy main route to Edinburgh. This was very scary - Helga and I were having kittens and Norman was having a litter!! We kept to the inside lane - bollards protecting us from the heavy vehicles. There was no lighting except car headlights and our own front lights. Eventually, we arrived back after our adventurous day - 44 miles.
On the Friday, we caught a train to Dundee. On the way to our next stop - Blairgowrie - we had lunch at an Osprey Centre Country Park called Piperdee and watched a cctv transmission of an osprey family. I had a local speciality of jacket potato with Arbroath smokie (the traditional method). Back on the road, a few lumps, (Helga thought they were more than that!) we arrived in Blairgowrie, a pretty village, and the sun shone. The garden of our B&B was very unusual with a windmill/rockery, putting green and croquet lawn. The interesting house had many chimes, a cuckoo clock, and an array of wooden elephants. Our charming hostess offered fresh food and vegetables each evening and Scottish breakfast.
On the Saturday we passed a 'Best kept wee village' called Spittalfield. Our ride was 20 miles to Dunkeld and return only 12 miles! The Sunday, we met a CTC leader, Pat Harrow, who was marshalling an Audax ride and took us up to Glen Isla and Loch. The scenery was beautiful - even in the rain! We passed many golf courses on our travels. We left Blairgowrie for Dundee then spent the next day around Edinburgh. We all had a very enjoyable holiday, very good food and accommodation and cycled nearly 200 miles of different territory. Next trip - France!
Norman organises another successful holiday by Brian Starey
Eleven Wayfarers made their ways as in 2003 to the quiet village of Nesles (pronounced Nell - as Gill was to learn). This was the start of a five day self-catering holiday in two excellent adjoining gites with the benefit of a share with two resident cats first adopted as kittens by the group last September. This year there were no horses however.
It had been hoped that Boulogne would have re-opened as a ferry port but programme delay meant that once again the main party had to catch very early local trains to rendezvous with the 8am Charing Cross to Dover train for a swift Seacat crossing and then ride 35 odd miles from Calais, arriving mid-afternoon at Nesles where the motoring party greeted them. In the four days of leisurely riding, although the weather was colder than expected, rainwear was never necessary. We enjoyed excellent long lunches in Desvres, Montrueil-sur-Mer and Wimereux and highlights included Mont Lambert and Beussent Chocolate Factory. Everyone enjoyed the holiday and returned home very grateful to Norman for putting the trip together for us and hoping that something similar will be arranged for 2005.
Founder member and Secretary David Aylett is pleased to see that a number of Beginners have been seen regularly riding with and in some cases leading rides for other Sections. (Point for discussion? To my mind these 'graduate' riders should no longer be described as Beginners! Do we need a new Section title to describe those riding on the longer rides on a Saturday? Ed).
We welcome Pam Jones, whose company we enjoyed for the first time on the A ride to Eton, and also Nev Dable who recently joined our rides. Secretary Brian Starey would like you to let him know if you will definitely be on the Hindhead Hostel ride on 28th and 29th July and he needs the payment please - £21.20 for two nights.
Steve Gordon invites members to the Beer Festival during 18th to 20th June. The Festival takes place at the Three Moles PH at Selham, near Petworth. A camping site is available at nearby Grafham. Contact Steve for details.
Section members will be camping at the CTC Birthday Rides in the Peak District. It's still possible to join in. Call Steve or to book, Della McGavin at CTC HQ. See 'What's On' in Cycle.
Bob Lees has sent news of his life out in Florida USA. "At 17th May the Springtime overnight temp. is in the mid 60's and mid 80's in daytime." The sunshine is to be seen in the photograph of Bob and Lin's luxurious new home which can be received as an e-mail attachment from Brian Starey. Brian can supply the full report on request but we have regrettably to pass on the news from Bob that "in addition to watching 60 minutes of the Giro daily on TV, my riding has reduced to cycling Saturday mornings with the intermediate group of about 10 - 16 riders averaging 15 mph. The little bit of speed I gained last year has gone. Still great fun. I'm lucky to have such a great local club." Bob will be pleased if you can call on him when you are next in Florida.
Jack Dowson returned home on 1st June following a successful double bypass operation on his heart carried out at St. George's Hospital, Tooting. His wife tells us that "Jack has no problems, he is taking things easy and is looking forward to getting back on his bike. So many friends have phoned and sent cards with good wishes. It's wonderful news".
Heard on Our Rides
Following outstanding success in their Cycling Proficiency tests, pupils at All Saints School, Carshalton cheekily asked their instructor, "Clive were you in Carshalton High Street yesterday?" "Yes" said the Instructor. And "were you on your yellow bicycle?" "Yes" said the Instructor. "Well we saw you and you didn't make a signal when you turned". After giving an excuse for this omission the humbled Instructor asked that the three accusers should not write to the Guardian newspaper. "But we will", said the girls gleefully, "because we've got a photo of you" and held up the evidence - perfect MMS screen pics on their mobile phones!
DA Events
The Mystery Word Hunt will take place on Sunday 11th July. It will offer a range of three route distances to suit all - from the experienced DATC rider over a 50 miles route, to the Section riders looking for an interesting ride through 20 miles of Surrey lanes, to the family wanting to enjoy an afternoon of gentle fun riding together five miles around Brockham Village. Register for the start at 10.30am from Brockham Church for the longer rides or after 1pm for the family event. An absorbing day of not too demanding exercise for the legs and for the brain, for an entry fee of only £2. After the event there will be more to enjoy. The Victorian Fair on the Green and relaxation over afternoon tea to be served by the ladies of Brockham from the Church Hall. Don't miss this day of pleasure! Amy Robinson has produced an eye catching poster. She can e-mail it to you or request a printed copy to display in your local bike shop.
Wandle Valley Festival: Join the weekend of celebration of the River Wandle on 12th and 13th June. The invitation to 'Explore & Enjoy South London's River' is contained in a leaflet obtainable from outlets in Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Croydon areas. It contains a full programme of cycling, walking and historic heritage activities. For families or adults looking for an interesting, gentle outing, Sutton Cycling Club for young people will lead a ride of only seven miles along the Wandle Trail on Saturday 12th June. Meet 9:45 for 10am prompt start from the source at Waddon Ponds in Mill Lane off Purley Way. Goes to Carshalton for elevenses where the families will be greeted by the Mayor of Sutton. The riders will travel along the Wandle Trail to arrive at their destination at Morden Hall Park at 12:15pm where they will join cyclists and walkers who have travelled from Wandsworth and Merton. For details go to www.wandlevalleyfestival.org.uk
More cycle maps

When it comes to cannabinoid properties, Delta-8 sets a new high. Not only does this cannabinoid promise a smooth and clear-headed high, but it's also used to relive pain, ease anxiety and even promote brain health. Derivation from federally legal hemp is also a game changer, making Delta-8 an above-board product in most states.
For years, fellow cannabinoids THC and CBD have dominated the spotlight. Now, new research and extraction technologies have made it easier to isolate D8 and harness the benefits of this mood-enhancing cannabinoid. So, does D8 get you high? The short answer is yes. Delta-8 will get you high, but in a way you might not have experienced before.
Want to know more? Let's dive in and take a closer look at Delta-8 and how it's reimagining cannabis highs.
What is Delta-8 CBD flower?
While most refer to D8 in short form, its scientific name is Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol. Found in the cannabis plant, it's a derivative of D9-THC, the most widely recognised and studied psychoactive cannabinoid in the industry.
What's a cannabinoid you ask? Naturally occurring in the cannabis plant, cannabinoids are chemical compounds that give marijuana its unique properties. While cannabis plants are made up of more than 450 different compounds, just over 65 are classed as cannabinoids. Each has its own unique benefits and it's safe to say Delta-8 is pretty special.
Scientists have known about Delta-8 since the 1940s but due to low expression levels in cannabis flowers, as well as lack of industry research, the cannabinoid has remained pretty illusive. Now, the times they are a changin' and Delta-8 is gaining serious traction.
Is Delta 8 derived from hemp?
Unlike most other mood-boosting cannabis products, Delta 8 is derived from federally legal hemp. By law, legal hemp has to contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Luckily, this doesn't affect D8 content which leaves manufacturers free to extract all that goodness without the legal risks.
The relationship between Delta-9 and Delta-8
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as D9-THC, is the most widely recognised psychoactive component in the cannabis plant. When people mention THC, they're generally referring to Delta-9, aka the granddaddy of cannabinoids. While D9 tends to steal the spotlight, Delta-8 is a lesser-known but just as extraordinary form of THC.
Sure, Delta-8 shares the same molecular formula as D9-THC (in chemistry the pair are known as isomers). But small variations in a handful of chemical bonds give the cannabis compound noticeably different properties. For all you chemistry buffs out there, this is where the "8" comes from. It refers to the alternative positioning of a chemical bond, one step over from its placement in D9. It's this variation that gives Delta-8 some key differences.
For starters, D8 around 35% less euphoric than D9, its famous cousin. This makes it popular with users looking for a clear-headed high that replicate the relaxation benefits of THC, minus the intense psychoactivity that can sometimes be a little too much.
Is Delta-8 an Indica or Sativa?
Most cannabis connoisseurs know their Indica from their Sativa. Indica is coveted for its high CBD content and ability to induce what's known as a body buzz. Sativa is rich in a mood-lifting chemical compound called limonene, which is usually associated with a mind high. We like to call it a "daytime strain" as it's energising and uplifting.
Like its Delta-9 cousin, Delta-8 can also be derived from both Indica and Sativa strains. Where you source your Delta-8 from all depends on the effects you're hoping to achieve. If you're looking for botanicals to kickstart your day and help you focus, Delta-8 derived from Sativa is a good bet. If you're after an intense body high, Indica-derived Delta-8 would be more suitable.
Is Delta 8 good for you?
While many users are chasing a mind or body high, increasing research into the therapeutic properties of cannabis has given the plant has also enjoyed a huge publicity boost over the past few years. Delta 8 offers some incredible benefits, including as a treatment for anxiety and depression. The cannabinoid is also being used to manage chronic pain, as well as boost appetite and ease nausea during cancer treatments.
Does Delta 8 help you sleep?
Using cannabis before bed isn't a new concept, with clinical studies suggesting the plant can be an effective sleep aid. Like other cannabinoids it interacts with the body's natural endocannabinoid system (ECS) which regulates the central nervous system and helps you maintain an all-important state of homeostasis.
So where does D8 fit in? Sleep is critical to homeostasis, which is why most health experts recommend getting at least eight hours per day. The ECS is directly linked to sleep, with a cannabinoid receptor known as CB1 used to lull you into a doze.
Packed with sedative properties, CB1 not only promotes sleep but also regulates the appetite, metabolism, anxiety levels and pain. Delta 8 actively binds to the CB1 receptor, activating its calming properties and promoting deeper and more energising sleeps.
What is the strongest Delta 8 product?
Delta 8 packs a serious punch and we totally get why you may be searching for the strongest product out there. Whether you're looking to relax, treat pain or enhance sleep, here's a few of our favorite ways to harness the benefits of D8.
Coated in a dusting of pure CBG kief, Cannessentials™ ultra-premium Delta-8 enhanced hemp flower moon rocks promise an interstellar high. Packed with D8, these nuggets feature hand-trimmed CBD and CBG flower and are definitely one of our most potent Delta 8 products.
Potency doesn't get much better than pure extracts. Designed to dab, vape or consume, our isolated concentrates and distillates are fully activated and ready to give you the high you've been chasing.
Stocking up on Delta-8
Now we've introduced you to the next generation of cannabis, let's talk about how to get your hands on D8. Can you get Delta 8 flower in the USA? Absolutely. D8 is extracted from federally legal hemp with D9 THC content of less than 0.3% which means it's legal in the USA.
Can I order Delta 8 online legally? Yes. Again, the product is derived from federally legal hemp which means you can post it the same way you'd mail a birthday card. If you live in the Dakotas, Carolinas, Texas or other states where marijuana isn't legalised, D8 is especially appealing.
All our products are tested and analysed at a Florida-based laboratory. This means you can get high with the total peace of mind your botanicals are backed by genuine scientific lab research. We're proud to offer some of the purest and most potent Delta-8 in the United States and publish all our cannabis lab reports on our website.

Lab Analysis


(upper course, Sredniaia Sededema), a river in the Yakut ASSR, a left tributary of the Kolyma. The Sededema is 567 km long and drains an area of 18,500 sq km. It originates on the Alazeia Plateau and flows primarily over the Kolyma Lowland. The basin contains approximately 3,000 lakes with a total area of more than 700 sq km. The Sededema is fed by snow and rain. It freezes in October, and the ice breaks up in May. The river's main tributaries are the Kyllakh, D'iaski, and Ulakhan-Iuriakh, from the left, and the Sykynakh, from the right.


"Although Paul's exhortation for women to "adorn themselves with modesty and humility" (1 Tim. 2:9) fits the expectations of either Greek or Roman society, the adornment of the hair "with braids and gold or with pearls" (cf. 1 Pet. 3:3) fits a new trend originating in Rome.
Greek hairstyles for women during this period were for the most part simple affairs: hair was parted in the middle, pinned simply in the back or held in place with a scarf or headband. The women of the imperial household originated new styles; by the Trajanic period they had developed into elaborate curls, braids, high wigs, pins, and hair ornaments that were quickly copied by the well-to-do through the empire: "See the tall edifice rise up on her head in serried tiers and storeys!" (Juvenal, Satire 6). One can even date representations of women by the increasing complexity of hair fashions.
If Roman styles seem a bit too far away to affect [local] fashions, consider that portraits of reigning empresses often appeared on coins minted in Ephesus and other Asian cities and that they had prominent statues in both public and private places. Portraits of provincial women from the era show that the imperial coiffures were copied in Ephesus and the other cities of Asia.
I think "b." has a lot to say about us and our choice of fashion today.
 Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood Volume 2 (Lousville, KY: Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, 1996).
I read somewhere braided hair was associated with prostitutes too. Is that true or is that only in the sense that the rich ladies were usually promiscuous?
If you watch dangerous beauty granted nearly 1600+ years after Paul's time I believe the prostitutes that could do those elaborate hair do we're most likely courtesans. For upper echelon marriages it was usually never about love even to this day these marriages are forged for some kind of economic, social or political gain. This is not to say that one loves a prostitute but courtesans of then like high class escorts of today are highly educated which provided their contract employer with an edge in social engagements. I believe that the rich ladies used boy toys much like the wealthy men would employ the services of a courtesan. At that level of society the courtesan would pretty much be as wealthy as some of her clients. I don't think that rich ladies were promiscuous because of their wealth if they were already promiscuous wealth only multiplied their desire.
It's a possibility and BEFORE this time was certainly true. At this time it was more likely that a prostitute would have short, close cropped hair (see 1 Cor. 11). As the quote said, the elaborate braided hairstyles were relatively new at this time - around a decade as a fashion. In addition to being the style of famously promiscuous ladies, the rich would also use it to display their wealth by pinning lots of jewels and decorations into the hair, hence the statement by Peter. I think the context of the verse indicates that the problem is excess, not association with prostitutes. If that were the case I think that would be mentioned here, but the focus here is on beauty and riches of the heart rather than the body.
Makes sense... I know Stuart talked in Sunday School about how his school has a dress code... do you guys think that is a good idea?
There are a lot of different reasons to have a dress code. In general I think it's good to secure modesty, but BETTER to educate people about modesty and let them do it by choice. It's a big topic.

Chat Show Host Lands Plum Role
Monday, November 13, 2006 19:23
Louisa Huynh
Louisa Huynh, host of the "Talk Viet Nam" chat show on Channel VTV4, has been chosen as the Master of Ceremonies for the APEC Gala Dinner on November 18.
Huynh Thanh Thuan, to give her full Vietnamese name, was born in Seattle, Washington and graduated from New York University with a degree in media studies.
When she was on vacation in Viet Nam last year, she became the apple of Vietnam Television's eye and the most acclaimed English-speaking MC yet seen in this land.
The Gala Dinner at the National Convention Center will be hosted by President Nguyen Minh Triet and his wife and attended by 1000 delegates from the 21 APEC economies.
Pham Sanh Chau, who heads the APEC Secretariat's information office, chose Louisa after being a guest on her show.
Afterwards, she was invited to present a water puppet show on November 19 for the spouses of the APEC leaders, and will fulfill the same MC role at two seminars run by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
"I feel a little bit tired but I will try to accomplish it", said Louisa, who is bound to be busy as all the APEC meetings will use English as the main language.

'Inferno' movie trailer, reviews, release date and more
Just when you thought Tom Hanks would never reprise his role as Robert Langdon in another Dan Brown adaptation, along came the trailer for the third movie in The Da Vinci Code franchise: Inferno. The film — which comes out Oct. 28 — takes its premise from Brown's book of the same name.
In it, Langdon awakens from mild amnesia — odd! — and discovers a virus-led plot to whittle down the Earth's population, in the same guise as the seven layers of hell in Dante's Inferno. Obviously, like in its predecessors, Langdon's the only man who can crack the case and save the world.
The twist here, as evidenced by the trailer, is that whatever happened during Langdon's amnesia, he was inadvertently part of the apocalyptic plot.
Tom Hanks stealing important things in 'Inferno' Giphy
Unfortunately, Inferno's early reviews have garnered the same amount of critical praise as the first two films in the franchise. In other words: They're not good. Inferno currently holds a 31% "rotten" rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the latest film falling victim to the same mistakes as the first two. Ultimately, it takes itself too seriously for what can be construed as a silly premise.
"Inferno has very little to recommend, its crushing dullness not even alleviated by laughable silliness," Jason Solomons wrote for the Wrap. "I kept hoping a Wayans brother would pop in and signal it was all one big genre parody, and when you're fervently wishing for a Wayans, you know you're in trouble."
However, as the Ringer's Sam Donsky eloquently described in a (sort of) defense of the franchise, its antics are still enough for some viewers to return to. So if the other film's were enjoyable, you'll probably like Inferno.
"Occasionally fancy vocabulary aside, these movies are total fucking nonsense," he writes. "I mean it. We're talking Indiana Jones without a sense of humor. National Treasure without the cocaine. The Matrix but without the Matrix and both pills just take you to some dank office at Harvard. The Da Vinci Code universe should be wearing a big neon sign that says 'DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT.' Don't even worry about it! These are not serious endeavors."
Inferno arrives to U.S. theaters Oct. 28. Watch the trailer below.

The Brooks-Range Slope Meter (commonly known as an Inclinometer) is an essential tool for backcountry adventurers traveling through avalanche-prone terrain. It takes the guess work out of slope gradient assessment, measuring the gradient of a slope up to 55° marked at every degree, and stabilizing quickly for fast reading.
How does it work? The Slope Meter contains a ball bearing suspended in oil that gravity forces to the lowest point of the meter. Place your ski pole running down the slope you wish to measure and then lay the Slope Meter on the ski pole to measure gradient; this way you get a more accurate reading. The most dangerous avalanche prone angles of slope are marked in red orange, yellow on the graduated scale.
The backside features a handy black screen that makes quick work of snow crystal analysis by providing 1 and 2 mm grids to measure crystal size and shape.

World Sleep Day is an annual event sponsored by World Sleep Society (founded by WASM and WSF) to raise awareness of sleep disorders and highlight the burden that they place on society. The next World Sleep Day will be held on Friday, March 15, 2019.
Most sleep disorders are preventable or treatable, yet less than one-third of sufferers seek professional help. Sleep problems constitute a global epidemic that threatens health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world's population. Better understanding of sleep conditions and more research into this area of medicine will help reduce the burden of sleep disorders on society.
World Sleep Day offers a world stage to interested parties to join forces and reach their audiences. Individuals and sleep centers around the world are invited to participate to teach about the importance of sleep and the preservation of high quality, sound and sufficient sleep.

Afterplace
Devon Edward January 8, 2023 No Comments 237 views 24 likes
AFTERPLACE NOTE: This review is short. The brevity of this review does not reflect the quality of this game. This game is all about immersing yourself in the mystery and discovering things for yourself, so a lengthy detailed review, one that reveals too much, would be antithetical to the spirit of the game.
The story of Afterplace is intentionally mysterious. I can't say much without giving things away. The exploration is rewarding, the writing is hilarious, the characters are endearing, and the story is much deeper and more complex than it appears….
The gameplay in Afterplace is an exemplar of game design. Like the story, the game explains very little, but rewards players who are willing to take the time to interact with it. Like Super Mario Bros. for the NES: the player learns by doing, failing, and trying again. Afterplace doesn't hold the player's hand, however it always feels like it's subtly guiding and rewarding them.
The point of the game is to feel like a small person in a huge world, to feel lost and immersed in the childlike wonder of exploration. It's reminiscent of the original Legend of Zelda. The map is impressively large and keeps getting bigger as you explore. Within the sprawling map, there are even buildings which are labyrinths within themselves. At some points, I thought that the game would never end. However, looking back, I realize that it was skillfully leading me to where I was supposed to go.
Whether I was playing for 15 minutes or an hour, even though I often felt lost, the game always made me feel like I was making meaningful progress. Whenever I was stuck, I went back to the core mechanics of poking around the map and collecting coins. By doing this, I was always finding new secrets, new story beats, and new stat/equipment upgrades.
Art and Sound
The art is clean and beautiful, but has a lot of variety that I can't talk about because of spoilers. The lofi beats of the soundtrack add a relaxing atmosphere to the game and, more importantly, don't get annoying.
The best way to understand the brilliance of this game? Experience it for yourself.
Afterplace is available, affordably, on an all smartphones. What are you waiting for?

2022 marks twenty-five years of handheld gaming for me. My life changed when my parents bought me an Atomic Purple Game Boy (a Game Boy that still sits proudly at the head of my collection, right next to my custom Atomic Purple Nintendo Switch Joy Cons). Since then, my love for handheld gaming has never abated, my collection has never stopped growing, and I have never stopped bringing my 3DS to parties.

In 2011, New York State created 10 Regional Economic Development Councils to develop long-term strategic plans for economic growth for their regions. A key component of a transformative approach to economic development, these councils are public-private partnerships made up of local experts and stakeholders from business, academia, local government and non-governmental organizations.
Over the past few years, as part of a process that has awarded more than $2 billion for job creation and community development, the Regional Councils produced innovative plans and implementation agendas that reflect the distinct characteristics of each of the 10 regions of the State.
The WNY REDC consists of representatives from the public and private sector including local and state government officials, business leaders, and economic development experts.
