It just so happens that when President Barack Obama gave his moving speech on racial disparities and the death of Trayvon Martin on Friday, it was a year almost to the day since the White House said it wanted to review the commutation petition of a black man sentenced to life without parole in 1993 for a first-time nonviolent drug conviction.
As the president spoke on the African-American community's acute awareness of racial disparities in "everything from the death penalty to enforcement of our drug laws," he ignored his own failure to redress a racial inequity by freeing Clarence Aaron.
You might say that under different circumstances, Barack Obama could have been Clarence Aaron. As a 23-year-old college student with money problems, Aaron set up two large cocaine deals between a pair of career drug dealers. Aaron broke the law, so he earned time in prison. But how did he get a life sentence when the two kingpins were sentenced to shorter time? One was released in 2000; the other kingpin, who threatened to "skin" an accomplice's sister, is serving 24 years.
Federal laws designed to put away kingpins are being used instead to over-incarcerate small fish. Unlike the drug bosses, Aaron didn't win a reduction in sentence for testifying against co-conspirators; he lied on the stand, which increased his sentence. So he gets life while the dons get out.
During his remarks Friday, Obama criticized state and local "stand your ground" laws, over which he has no authority. But he won't clean up his own turf.
Obama did sign the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the disparity between cocaine and crack sentences, which used to disproportionately subject African-Americans to draconian sentences even more. To correct the disparity for those convicted before the new law, however, the president could use the pardon power to apply the law retroactively or to reduce the sentences of nonviolent offenders serving life without parole, but he hasn't.
Knee-jerk apologists have lectured me that if Obama commuted more sentences, conservatives would criticize him. Ha. Was there a controversy after Obama commuted the 22-year sentence of crack offender Eugenia Jennings in 2011?
A growing number of conservatives — ranging from Jeb Bush to Ed Meese — have signed the Right On Crime statement of principles, which challenges Washington's "reliance on prisons" and policies that harden low-risk offenders who could be rehabilitated. With this movement, Obama could use the pardon power in a cause that brings left and right together.
Alas, it appears the president seems interested in racial disparity only when he can use it as a crowbar to pry the country further apart. When he has the authority and ability to correct federal racial inequities, he is missing in action.

Q: BibTeX: Prevent line break after "et al." citation BibTeX adds a whitespace after a citation like "et al.".
If this occurs at the end of a line, the year can be in the next line.
I think this can be misleading at the end of a line, because it could be mistakenly read as the end of a line and then the number at the beginnning of the next line looks odd.
In my opinion, this interrupts the flow of reading, but I am also interested in your point of view.
For suppressing the line break, I haven't been lazy and did a web search for a solution.
I found the suggestion to use \renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addnbspace}, but this did unfortunately not work in my hands.
I think this is because of the fact that the \nameyeardelim macro is only provided by the biblatex package, which I am not using (and also can't use, because I am generating the tex file via RStudio's bookdown package.
Could anyone point me towards another possible way to prevent the line break after a "et al." citation?

A: With natbib you can either use
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\NAT@spacechar}{~}
\makeatother

or
\bibpunct[, ]{\unskip~(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}

where the \unskip~( removes the space before the brackets and replaces it with a non-breaking space.
The \NAT@spacechar also turns other spaces inserted by natbib's citation commands into unbreakable spaces, that might be wanted or unwanted. You can see where these spaces are if you replace the ~ in the code above by XXX.
The \bibpunct solution naturally overrides loading-time options such as square and round and sets other punctuation as well. If you use a special style you may have to adjust the value a bit.
natbib.sty explains \bibpunct as follows

% Alternatively:
% Use \bibpunct with 6 mandatory arguments:
%    1. opening bracket for citation
%    2. closing bracket
%    3. citation separator (for multiple citations in one \cite)
%    4. the letter n for numerical styles, s for superscripts
%        else anything for author-year
%    5. punctuation between authors and date
%    6. punctuation between years (or numbers) when common authors missing
% One optional argument is the character coming before post-notes. It
%   appears in square braces before all other arguments. May be left off.
% Example (and default) \bibpunct[, ]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}

The pdf documentation also has something about it http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdf on p. 13.

I am going to the Seattle Mariners game tonight, if only to say good-bye to one of the best players in baseball, Derek Jeter. Though he plays for the hated New York Yankees, he has been the gold standard in terms of his play on the field, as well as his conduct off the field. He is making the rounds, playing his last games in ballparks across the country. Many teams present him with good bye gifts, ranging from motorcycles to keys to the city.
The ballpark here in Seattle is called Safeco Field. It has a retractable roof for the rainy periods in Seattle. But even stranger than the ballpark are the team's promotional nights or as we fans call it, "give-away" night. The strangest one yet is Sriracha Night. On May 22, against the Houston Astros, the Mariners celebrated the red sauce with the rooster on the label.
Fans willingly bought a $25 package that included a ticket to the game, a Mariners Sriracha T-shirt, and one of three menu items. The choices were a Sriracha cream cheese hot dog, Sriracha garlic fries, or a Sriracha milk shake!
My question is, why? Perhaps it is the condiment of choice these days among the young and restless. Or perhaps the Mariners front office just ran out of ideas during a luncheon meeting filled with Sriracha?
Funny Nose Glasses Night, 1982. Everyone looked like Groucho Marx. Babe Ruth must have been turning in his grave!
Stitch n' Pitch Night, 2005, fans were encouraged to bring their knitting and crocheting supplies to the ballpark, sit in a special section, the next one is July 24!!!!!
Personally, I think this entire list is rather sad. I think the fans, at least most kids, would like a T-shirt, baseball bat, glove, bobblehead, batting glove, or heaven forbid, a real baseball. Tonight, they are giving away Macklemore bobbleheads. Who wants a bobblehead of a white rapper who roots for the Seahawks? Not me!
There were more people in the stands with Derek Jeter T-shirts and jerseys than Mariners jerseys. What's wrong with Seattle?

Relationships The matchmaking app for people who want to make friends not love A new app promises to bring people together for platonic purposes only. The Inbetweeners By Josh Barrie 8: Perhaps you frequent the same pub with the same bunch of guys and drink the same beer while cracking the same jokes a little too often. Or maybe you travel a lot and spend too much time holed up in your hotel, wishing you had someone to check out the nice-looking restaurant you saw in the taxi on the way there.
Either way, you wouldn't be in the minority of adults if you sometimes wished for a new friend or two to enter your life. After school and university — both moveable feasts of friend-making opportunities — men in particular often forget how to make close buddies.

Since the rise of online dating over the past decade, many dating websites have come and gone. A common complaint shared by seasoned online daters who have tried various dating sites is that, rarely do the multitude of matchmaking services live up to their claims. For a monthly fee, dating sites claim they'll do the math for you and spit out your soul mate in return. Some websites gather data about you and crunch the numbers with all kinds of mathematical formulas and algorithms in order to fill up your inbox with compatible matches.
A recent report issued by the New York Times weighs in explaining why numbers and formulas are unlikely to help forge the perfect couple. Hang on a minute, wasn't online dating designed to reduce the complexities of finding a partner in the first place? Technology and competition for this lucrative market has made a mockery of it. To the average person, thanks to bad press and other contributing factors, online dating has become somewhat of an un-trusted source for meeting people.

Developers of the app called "Tagged," advertised as a place to chill, chat and go live, say they have million registered users. Its features are similar to the dating app Tinder. Prosecutors say it was used to commit heinous crimes. A year-old Milwaukee man faces serious criminal charges in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a year-old woman in the city.
He faces the following criminal charges: The year-old woman told police "she met an individual named 'Kels' on an app called 'Tagged"" and they decided to meet up near the intersection of 58th and Hampton. The complaint indicates after the woman got into a vehicle with McAfee, a second male "popped up from the back seat and wrapped his arm around her face and neck. This individual then pointed what felt like a small-caliber handgun to the back of her neck and then he said, 'get back here.
The complaint says the woman was then led up a set of stairs into an apartment where the alleged victim said "she heard at least six different voices in the home. Eventually "they agreed to take the woman back to her car, and her blindfold was on during this time.

Bradford became interested in online dating after becoming single following the end of a five-year relationship. She had no control over who could view her profile, including potential business connections, bosses and coworkers. She also felt like she had no idea who the people she was being matched with were.
There was no context to their profiles — just their name and their photo. And so, The League was born. This way the app can ensure your profile is not visible to your professional connections, while at the same time giving potential matches a better idea of who you are as a person based on your education and professional experience. Bradford hopes the dating pool represents many different industries. The main thing is you have to bring something special to the table.
But we are going to be expecting you to have accomplished something in your professional career to compensate for that. That to me is a just as impressive, if not more, than someone who went to Tier 1 university. Each community is capped at about 10,

In 1969 a bunch of us were taken to Durban to watch a rugby test match Springboks against the Australian Wallabies. "Our" Tommy Bedford was captain of the 'Boks. We didn't know it, but it was to be his last game.
Schoolboy "seats" were flat on your bum on the grass in front of the main stand at Kings Park. Looking around we spotted old Ella Bedford, – "Mis Betfit" as her pupils called her – Harrismith English teacher and the captain's Mom – hence our feeling like special guests! – up in the stands. Sitting next to her was a really spunky blonde so we whistled and hooted and waved until she returned the wave.
We just smiled, thinking 'So, Mis Betfit isn't always right'. Here's Jane. We did NOT mistake her for Mis Betfit.
Mrs Bedford taught English as second language. Apparently anything you got wrong had to be fixed below your work under the heading "corrections". Anything you got wrong in your corrections had to be fixed under the heading "corrections of corrections". Mistakes in those would be "corrections of corrections of corrections". And so on, ad infinitum! She never gave up. You WOULD get it all right eventually!
In matric the rugby season started and I suddenly thought: Why'm I playing rugby? I'm playing because people think I have to play rugby! I don't.
It caused a mild little stir, especially for ou Vis, mnr Alberts in the primary school. He came up from the laerskool specially to voice his dismay. Nee man, jy moet ons tweede Tommy Bedford wees! he protested. That was optimistic. I had played some good rugby when I shot up and became the tallest in the team, not because of real talent for the game – as I went on to prove.

posted on 2022-03-28, 11:05 authored by Danja Derkenne
Bonegilla was Australia's first, largest and longest-lived post World War Two migrant reception and training centre, chosen because of its remote rural location. Bonegilla was designed to delimit interactions between Non-English speaking immigrants and the Australian population. The Bonegilla camp's purpose was to provide a tractable, mobile labour force, and to assimilate a large population of immigrant aliens and naturalise them, to use the vernacular of the post-war period. English was asserted as a lingua franca. Central to Australian concepts of assimilation are isolation, segregation and containment. This thesis researches Bonegilla using the methodology of site-specific reading, to engage with the tropes and narratives emergent at the heritsge listed site. Two canonical texts whose authors have a direct relationship to Bonegilla are examined. Close readings of Les Murray's poem 'Immigrant Voyage' and Christos Tsiolkas's short story 'Saturn Return' are undertaken. The scenes of reading implicit in each text and how each text is in dialogue with texts from Bonegilla specific to immigrant and Anglo-Saxon relations, are examined. This thesis proposes that contemporary transnational literary studies neglect the assimilation era, which remains a marginalised discourse, over-written by tropes of celebratory multiculturalism. This thesis demonstrates that assimilation policies created a lacuna evident within the texts examined, and in the contested discourses present at the Bonegilla site.
Chapter One: Introduction -- Chapter Two: Bonegilla, a site-specific reading -- Chapter Three: Les Murray and 'Immigrant Voyage' -- Chapter Four: Christod Tsiolkas, 'Saturn Return', and the 'hateful place'

Laing forced to shed 850 jobs
Updated: 19:00 EST, 26 October 1999
Builder John Laing today revealed it is to shed nearly a third of the 2800 jobs in its construction division over the next three years, sending its shares tumbling 38p to 276p.
Chairman Sir Martin Laing said that a review by accountants KPMG had been completed, and recommended that the construction division should be reorganised around a central headquarters in Hemel Hempstead. Some 850 jobs are to go in Hemel, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Most of the jobs will be lost in millennium year, the division having suffered what it calls 'a financial disaster' with the bid that got it the contract to build Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Laing will now be more careful about what it bids for and how, Sir Martin added.
Some jobs will go through natural wastage and voluntary redundancy over the next three years, yet all but £4 million of the estimated £18 million reorganisation charge is earmarked for compulsory redundancies.
Construction lost £5 million in the first half, but should be back in profit next year, Sir Martin said.

Surgeons perform life-saving operation on unborn baby in her mother's womb
Dave Andrusko
By Dave Andrusko
Ruth and Ross Elder present a check for £5,000 to the fetal medicine Team at the Newcastle Hospitals.
In utero surgery, although no longer rare, can still be dicey. But more and more success stories, like Ruth and Ross Elder's, reminds us that the unborn is just another "patient," no less human, no less deserving of protection and care than the rest of us.
The Elders, who live in Newcastle in Northeast England, are receiving a lot of deserved applause for their fundraising efforts on behalf of the Fetal Medicine Fund at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Great North Children's Hospital as an expression of the couple's gratitude for the wonderful work they did in saving their unborn child, Harriet, who is 22 months old.
Mrs. Elder, 32, had been suffering from severe pregnancy sickness. As a consequence she had additional scans.
At the 28 week scan, "the sonographer noticed a significant build-up of fluid around the baby's heart and lungs," Gavin Havery reported, "a rare fetal condition, known as hydrops fetalis."
The first procedure to drain the fluid was performed by Dr. Therese Hannon. However a more permanent solution was required when fluid re-accumulated, Mike Kelly reported.
"She and her husband Ross, 35, who are also parents to Henry, aged three, were then referred to the fetal medicine team at the RVI" [Royal Victoria Infirmary Newcastle]," Kelly explained. "A decision was therefore made to perform the life-saving in utero surgery."
"It all happened really quickly so there wasn't a great deal of time to worry about what the procedure would entail, I just wanted them to do whatever they needed to do to try to save our baby," Ruth Elder told Kelly." Professor Stephen Robson performed the procedure during the 29th week of Mrs. Elder's pregnancy.
Here's Kelly's explanation of the intricate surgery:
Using ultrasound as a guide, he placed a chest shunt (a small plastic tube) through Ruth's abdomen, through the wall of the womb and into the baby's chest wall to relieve the fluid around the lungs.
Prof Robson said: "We have a very small but highly specialised team here at the RVI and we would usually see around 10 to 15 cases of hydrops fetalis a year, however only one in 10 of these cases are amenable to fetal surgery.
"The baby was very poorly and while placing the shunt carries a risk it was the only option available. Had this procedure not taken place, the chances of the baby surviving were very low."
But the in utero surgery was a success! In July 2017, Ruth gave birth to Harriet, at 34 weeks via emergency C-section, six weeks after the surgery.
Harriet was discharged in September 2017 "after time on the RVI's neonatal intensive care unit, then on the paediatric intensive care unit, and then ward 2 at the Great North Children's Hospital," Kelly reported.
Mrs. Elder was effusive in her praise of all parties involved:
"When Harriet was born we were terrified, we had a desperately ill baby and a two year old who wondered where his mummy was. We just couldn't have got through it all without all of the amazing staff at the RVI and the Great North Children's Hospital, they were all so kind and became like a second family to us."
Ruth recently arranged a tea party to raise money for the Fetal Medicine Fund "to say thank you to the amazing team of heroes who are working so hard to save the lives of desperately ill babies in the womb, and caring for the mothers with the most difficult of pregnancies," Kelly reported. "The event was a huge success" and the Elders recently present a check for £5,000 to the fetal medicine Team at the Newcastle Hospitals.
Mrs. Elder told Kelly
"You can't put a price on the amazing care and support we received from the team and there's no way we can ever thank them enough for what they did for our family but we are great believers in paying it forward and wanted a happy, positive ending to a really tough year."

Before we proceed on knowing this topic, first of all, we must know what is a vision in the biblical teaching? Vision means the experience of having a revelation from God. It is about what things to come or even revealing things of the past. It will serve as a warning to the one receiving and maybe also to his companion or people.
WHY IS IT THAT RECEIVING A VISION FROM GOD IS A BLESSING?
It is very true in the times of the coming doom of people because of God's wrath against sin. The Bible says that sin will have its final reward of condemnation. An example was in the days of Noah. Noah received the vision about the coming flood where they will be carried away. Because of that vision to Noah, he built an ark, Heb 11:7.
In the End-time, it will be the same according to the Bible. Because of God's revelation to Noah, he escaped the flood. He did not perish. So, that vision became a blessing to him and to his family.
Those who will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Blessed be the name of the Lord.
In the same way, as in the days of Noah, he revealed to them what will happen and the one who receives that vision was saved from the flood. They were blessed by God. They were the one who enjoys God's goodness when God told them after the flood that they replenish the earth. They were blessed in this replenishing the earth.
See what vision can do with people. If they will not hear, they will receive God's judgment and cannot escape. But if they will hear, they will receive God's blessing, the fulfillment of His great purpose.
We must watch. We are warned to watch. But God is very merciful as in the days of Noah that He ordained the remnant to replenish the earth.
This is a prophecy of rising the Goodman of the House to lead the Church. God declared the Goodman of the House that he will be like Noah. He received and given a revelation from God. In our time, that man is identified as the Goodman of the House, means a leader of a religious organization.
The house in the Bible means the Church of God, 1 Tim 3:15.
We were built together as a temple of God in the Spirit. God is willingly leading the Church through the Holy Spirit. In this house, there will be a Goodman of the House like Noah. He will be the one to make his household watch. He knows the future because God revealed to him a vision. In the End-time, God is very specific. The Goodman of the house means the leader of the Church who received the revelation about the end time like Noah in his time.
WHO IS THE LEADER OF THE CHURCH?
In the End-time, the leaders of the Church are the Apostles. The Apostle is one of the greatest gifts of God that will always be in the Church. As in the days of Pentecost, there were 12 apostles leading the Church.
Then it continued in the time of Paul (Acts 14:14), in the time of Church of Rome. In Romans 16:6-7.
In the Church of God, therefore, the apostles are the gifts of the Holy Spirit from God which is always in the Church. Because the promise is to whom the Lord shall call, Acts 2:39.
Even in the early Church during the time of the Church in Corinth, they still enjoy all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church. The Bible says, "…so that ye come behind in known gift waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." It means that they have the complete gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Like in the Church in Jerusalem to Antioch and in the Church in Corinth, they were not behind in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They have all the complete gifts of the Holy Spirit and they were waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Church.
This Goodman of the house which is the leader is the first in rank in the Church with all the knowledge of the watches. All will be revealed to him by God. This is God's promise. So, that vision is a blessing to him and to his entire household. The blessing of vision is very necessary. Without a vision, the people will perish, Proverbs 29:18.
God bless you. Take the vision from God. To those who have no vision because no one receives a vision from God, it will be a doom to them. They will all perish. But to those who receive the vision from God through the Goodman of the House, it will be a blessing to you.
The world was all carried away but the household of Noah replenishes the earth. The Goodman of the house who received revelation like Noah will live and reign in the kingdom of God and Christ.

People who are active in sports can experience black toenail fungus. It is not painful to have black toenail but it is embarrassing. That is why as soon as you notice it you should immediately find black toenail fungus treatment.
Obviously, fungus thrives in damp place that is why black toenail fungus usually cultivates. Having black toenail is embarrassing in such a way that it hinders from wearing sandals. The fungus breeds and propagates underneath the toenail because of the warmth environment especially when wearing shoes. To avoid having black toenail it is important to maintain proper feet hygiene. Likewise, the fungus that cause black toenail is also present in public areas that are not properly sanitized such as pools, play areas, sweat rooms and gymnasiums. That is why you should be very careful not to wear common footwear in communal spaces.
Medications – As soon as you notice the black color in your toenail you should consult immediately your doctor. You will be recommended to take medications such as topical medicines combined with oral medications. Some people use vinegar and Listerine mouthwash to treat toenail fungus. However, this option would not work to all. Thus, if you think that it is not effective on your part you should try another option. In like manner, you should also be careful in taking prescriptive drugs for black toenail fungus because most of them are harmful to health. It can damage the kidney and the liver.
Home remedies – using the home remedies for black toenail fungus is a safe option. Aside from being all natural it does not have serious side effects. There are some home remedies available and is proven effective. However, whatever option of treatment you may choose would not be effective unless you maintain the cleanliness of your feet.
This means that if you cannot avoid staying in communal places at least you should pay attention on your personal things. As much as possible, you should wear your own footwear to avoid being infected by the black toenail fungus. Likewise, if you are having nail clipped in salon you should ensure that the clip is not infected.
To ensure that you feet is properly sanitized you should always use and bring with you lotions and oil that you can apply in your toes. Aside from consulting your doctor you should do research in finding the appropriate treatment for the black toenail fungus. On the other hand, it is good to note not to use any remedy without the doctor's advice. This is to ensure your safety and at the same time to prevent exacerbation of the condition. Keep in mind that giving proper treatment gives you the chance to flaunt your beautiful toes.


For more than 50 years, the U.S. dollar has dominated the world market as the top currency of choice. But that could be changing in the future, said Lazard CEO Kenneth Jacobs.
Jacobs stipulated that this type of economic shift is not likely to happen in the near future,, given that European and Chinese currencies are unlikely replacements. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, is far more probable.
"There's enough technology out in the world today with cryptocurrency and changes going on that you can imagine, if you let your mind wander a little bit, that something becomes an alternative in the future," Jacobs added.
Of course, this is only theory, and if recent valuations have shown anything, it's that cryptocurrency is an incredibly volatile market.
Between 2013 and 2017, for example, the price of a single Bitcoin fluctuated between $76 and $20,000. In February 2018, the average price was about $6,000.
The rapidly changing price indicates that investors are unsure as to whether cryptocurrency has any long-lasting potential or whether it's just a technological fad. And yet, as BitDegree contributor Ray King points out, the risk is the same with any other type of investment.

Located on the East side of Duke's campus, Trinity Heights is a small neighborhood full of tall hardwood trees and mainly residential homes. As such, it's very quiet and offers people the chance to unwind in a relaxed neighborhood. You won't find any nightlife here but renters like it that way as that's most likely the reason they chose this neighborhood.
Renters here feel very safe and have no problems getting to Duke's campus. You don't necessarily need a car as one renter points out although it might be helpful. All in all, it's a quiet, safe neighborhood with nice homes.
Close to Ninth Street, 5 min walk from Brodie gym, good public transportation (I don't own a car and I have been able to survive), safe. Very nice houses in the neighborhood.

Q: How to run gulp with --harmony flag? The same could be achieved in node.js using --harmony flag like this:
node --harmony app.js

So it will be add support for EcmaScript6.
How to run gulp commands with harmony flag?

A: A simpler solution would be to use harmonize : https://github.com/dcodeIO/node-harmonize
Just install harmonize and then require like so:
require("harmonize")();

A: You can do that in the following way:
alias gulp='node --harmony `which gulp`'

Place this in ~/.bashrc file and gulp will always run in harmony mode.
If you are a docker user and want to use gulp with harmony inside a container, you can do that in the following way:
docker run -ti \
    --name container \
    nodejs-image-with-gulp-pre-installed \
    bash -ci 'gulp task'

The key is to use -i flag with a bash, so your alias will be loaded successfully. Otherwise it will run gulp itself without harmony support.

A: To follow up on FelikZ's solution:
npm run
You can update your package.json and add your gulp commands to the section scripts:
{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node --harmony `which gulp` start",
    "build": "node --harmony `which gulp` build",
    ...
  }
}

These commands can then be called with npm run start, npm run build etc.
If you want to call all your gulp commands through npm (without defining them separately) you can do as follows:
{
  "scripts": {
    "gulp": "node --harmony `which gulp`"
  }
}

To run gulp start, you would call npm run -- start etc.
Alternative: io.js
If you want to use --harmony by default, you could also have a look at io.js:

As I drive by Lewis Park these days I can't help but notice that much of the park is submerged in water.
As I drive by Lewis Park these days I can't help but notice that much of the park is submerged in water.
And I also can't help but notice that the shiny new construction work being done at taxpayers' expense on the back of the building is about 15 to 20 feet from the edge of the lake, sitting on a slightly raised mound of earth.
Am I mistaken, or is this the very same municipality that spent years harrassing Maple Pool and threatening court action for its site being on a floodplain? Yes folks, the self-same municipality which has embraced this fantastically expensive addition to the Lewis Centre.
The irony is hard to bear.
Where is Sandy Gray when you need him? Asleep at his desk?
Why is he not, on our behalf, suing the council that approved this? Or more importantly, why was this building project ever approved by the regional district in the first place?
Taxpayers were going to have to pay extravagantly for the court action against Maple Pool, and are also paying extravagantly for the new work at Lewis Centre, built on a floodplain that laps at its feet regularly every year.
And no doubt we'll be paying for the cleanup of an occasionally water-damaged new building. Is it any wonder we have so little faith and trust in our politicians.


Who says burgers have to be bad for you? We've got a recipe for one that tastes amazing but can keep you looking youthful too.
Burgers get a bad rep because all too often they come dripping in grease, overloaded with sugary ketchup and topped off with processed cheese. But, we wanted to prove you can still get the flavour without the guilt, with this recipe that's also packed with anti-ageing ingredients.
2. Peel and chop up the sweet potatoes and toss in the coconut oil and place in the oven for 25 minutes or until cooked.
3. Mix the mince, onion, garlic, egg and apple up in a bowl and sprinkle in the paprika.
4. Split the mixture into two patties and place on a baking tray.

Fallon Sherrock dropped out of PDC Q-School Final Stage the day after 6-5 defeat with Joshua Richardson | Arrows news
Fallon Sherrock is applying for the PDC Tour Card for the first time, becoming the second woman to do so; On the first day of the final phase on Wednesday, Sherrock missed her first chance to win a tour card and lost her first match with Danny Lauby; The Q School event runs from January 12 to 15
Last update: 13/01/22 13:10
Fallon Sherrock dropped out of the second day of the final phase of Q-School, lost her first game, but returns on Thursday and Friday
Fallon Sherrock suffered a second early defeat in a row in the final stages of PDC Q-School, losing 6-5 to Joshua Richardson in Milton Keynes in her first game of the second day.
Sherrock started the final stage on Wednesday with a 6: 1 defeat to American Danny Lauby, and after the second imminent loss, the 'Queen of the Palace' is now firmly opposed to winning the tour card.
Sherrock started well against former BDO World Champion Richardson, the son of former PDC player James Richardson, 2-0, but then broke down and fell 5-3 before breaking down to force a leg decision. In the end, however, she lost 6: 5.
Sherrock is looking to become the second woman to win a PDC Tour Card after Lisa Ashton in 2020 and join the 128-member Pro Tour.
Sherrock, one of 128 players competing for 32 seats, has not yet won the match and will now probably have to reach deep on Day 3 or Day 4 on Friday and Saturday on other, albeit scant, occasions.
On Tuesday, Sherrock secured a safe pass to the final stage with a 5: 2 victory over Wes Newton.
After defeating Sunday in the first round, after which she lost in the third match on Monday, Sherrock knew that she needed great performances on Tuesday, otherwise she would be eliminated.
The 27-year-old started with a lime 5-0 over Robert Whybrew, then beat Kevin Lane 5-1 before facing 'The Warrior' Newton, in a victory that ensured she passed the first stage. For merit. Scott Marsh, who won the final stage of the final stage, ended her race in the final stage.
'The Lancashire Rose' Ashton got off to a good start trying to get her PDC Tour Card back when she beat Nick Fullwell and Josh McCarthy by an average of over 90, but her form dropped and she eventually gave up 6-4 to Gary Blades.
The four-time women's darts champion saw that her dreams of running at the PDC World Cup were thwarted last month by Dutchman Ron Meulenkamp in the first round.
Q School explained
More than 650 players compete in the PDC 2022 qualifying schools from January 9-15, with 32 Tour Cards available to secure a seat on the PDC circuit for 2022 and 2023.
The competitions are divided between Milton Keynes and Niedernhausen in Germany.
The first phase took place between January 9 and 11, with 128 players advancing to the final phase.
Eight players a day qualify automatically, with all other places earning first-place players for merit in each region.
From 12 to 15 January, a total of 32 PDC Tour Cards will be offered in the final phase, with each of the daily winners in the UK and Europe receiving an automatic Tour Card. On Wednesday, James Wilson secured an immediate return to ProTour when he defeated Sherrock's partner Cameron Menzies 6-1 to comfortably secure a return to the professional circuit.
The remaining 24 Tour Cards will be awarded to players from the UK and European Q School Final Stage Orders of Merit and distributed on a pro rata basis according to the total number of participants in each region.

RightStuff tattoo machines /Blog RightStuff tattoo machine company /Not to judge the book by its cover.
Not to judge the book by its cover.
The saying tells not to judge the book by its cover. However, today it is difficult to imagine a platonically pure way of perceiving individuals of the surrounding staging, where moral would be strictly detached from visual and values and attitudes would be formed while avoiding premature judging. Indeed, in day-to-day situations human interaction tends to be built in a way of certain data exchange, which will include of not only verbal messages, but also visual appearances, behavior, habits etc.
Among these kinds of attributes, there is one that becomes controversial even on the stage of classification, these are body modifications, and particularly tattoos. If, for example, we can easily define facial features as natural and difficult to change attribute, and clothes as acquired and that can be easily changed, tattoos hovers somewhere in the middle. Being an acquired thing and in the same time quite durable, a tattoo is starting to pose questions with its only existence, what serves as a reason for people who are getting tattoos? Is this body modification a direct instruction of fashion, or rather a personalized ritual of initiation? Is it a communicational channel or a status sign-system?
Of course, the answer could lie in the combination of functions listed above and many others as well, however main ambiguity of the phenomenon can be derived here – the indirect nature of its communicational function that still serves as an important characteristic and attribute of the individual as perceived by others on one hand, and personalized nature of tattoos as a sign that has a deeply intimate value on another. One might object, that with the tattoo industry we have today it becomes truly difficult to speak about intimate value and sacredness of a tattoo. Indeed, as in any other form of art, in tattoing there can be observed trends and fashions, style changes and rise-and-falls of certain motives' popularity.
At more instrumental level there can be seen a lush plentitude of techniques, which in turn result in different approaches and attitudes toward tattoing. With all this plethora and diverseness of meanings, these days tattoo culture becomes a subculture that consists of subcultures, a Pandora's box into which this paper is aimed to deepen in, digging down to the prehistoric marks that existed centuries ago and looping back to the style that at the first blush has more in common with tattoo of the ancients – homemade tattoo.
Emerged relatively recently as an established branch and being stylistically simplistic the style of homemade tattoo can offer more than it might look like, starting with the very basic
question it poses – what makes a tattoo a homemade one? This question, in turn, should be seen
as more than just a potential guide to the style, beyond it, homemade tattoo possesses its own
cultural background and attitudes, totems and taboos, defining features and excluded practices.
Logically continuing the set of questions, the core one will be set as well – what meanings do homemade tattoos bear and how do these meanings differ from ones of parlour-made tattoos?
This thesis begins with a historical research which will provide a sufficient perspective on the meanings and functions of tattoing in different cultures, paths of its development and succession patterns. The second part will deal with homemade tattoing from the point of view of both artists and tattoo culture consumers, with their definitions of homemade tattoing and attitudes towards it. For this purpose the data from social media networks, where main discrources around homemade tattooing are located, is considered.

A b o u t M a r i a
One of "the brightest new talents in classical music" and one of "the most aspiring and promising members of a new-generation of musicians" - Stuart Millson (Classical Music Editor of The Quarterly Review)
"Maria's genuine artistry and child-like enthusiasm is a rare and refreshing treat for us all, teachers, performers and students. Her musical involvement is such that she awakens in us the desire to be part of her musical journey" - Christos Noulis (Pianist, professor of piano and somatics for musicians)
"In a few words - My only regret is not having found my teacher Maria Papathanasiou much earlier - 50 years earlier!!!! I often wonder how I might have developed in my childhood, had I had a teacher so encouraging, so dynamic, so motivational and so inspiring, as she is a classically trained artist in the music world.
But having started out as a beginner at the age of 63 I have had the most marvellous year, gaining a Distinction at my first Grade exam at the London Guildhall. I have also participated in a music competition and was awarded a gold medal.
I would say to parents considering recorder or oboe lessons - Go for it, your child will benefit - it's a real confidence builder. As an adult student, Maria's classes are nothing sort of masterclasses, she recognises the need of the adult student, whilst unlocking the power of the inner child.
Recorder playing is undergoing a renaissance and there are so many opportunities for students young and old." - Esther Thompson (Adult recorder student)

Jessica Rodriguez told BuzzFeed News: "We hope this inspires LGBT people to not fear to express their love to one another."
This is 25-year-old law student Jessica Rodriguez and her fiancé, Chelsea Miller, a 26-year-old full-time nanny and student. The two met on Tumblr, have been together for over four years, and now live in Chicago.
Rodriguez told BuzzFeed News after her grandmother passed away this year, it made her realise how short life is: "I just knew I had to hold on to love as much as I could since our days are counted. So I went and bought the ring."
She went all out for her proposal, which happened last weekend at the Art Institute of Chicago, because art plays a massive part in the couple's lives, she said: "We have traveled to various art museums in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. I once worked in an art gallery called the Wynne Home Arts Center and we even have a custom painting of our baby, Gatsby, a cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy."
When her excited 22-year-old brother, Carlos Jair Rodriguez, shared a picture of the proposal on Twitter, it quickly went viral and gained over 265,400 likes and 85,870 retweets.
But because of this innocent bystander's pure reaction to the proposal.
People are seriously loving the woman's reaction.
Rodriguez said that she did not notice the woman was actually sitting there or her reaction until she went over the photos. "I loved her reaction! Whoever she is, we are so thankful of her pure reaction. She made our moment even more special!" she said.
Rodriquez's brother told BuzzFeed News: "I am just so happy that a positive LGBT photo went viral. It's not every day something like this has such [a] positive reaction to the general public."
He went on to say: "The sweet woman had such a beautiful reaction. It's absolutely amazing to see such love coming from a bystander."
Carlos said that Jessica isn't just his sister but also his best friend: "I'm just glad she's engaged to the love of her life and I couldn't be happier for her."
Rodriguez said: "I honestly did not know it went viral till the next day... We love the very positive feedback and just ignore the negativity."
The well-known author E.L. James also congratulated the couple.
People have seen the picture as a sign of hope for the future.
Eduardo Sanchez Perry, a photographer from Chicago who took the picture, told BuzzFeed News: "I was actually really nervous when I was asked to take pictures of the proposal because it's not something that can be reshot, and I was really more focusing on Jessica and Chelsea... I'm glad the bystander photobombed the shot."
He added: "It's beautiful to see the love and support the two have received from family and friends and everyone on social media."
Rodriguez said: "We hope this inspires LGBT people to not fear to express their love to one another."
